Fact About Shisha And Cigarette

Hi readers,

Shisha is a water-pipe in which fruit-scented tobacco is burnt using coal, passed through an ornate water vessel and inhaled through a hose. Many of them whom do not smoke enjoys shisha which comes in various flavor when they socializing. As you know smoking is bad for health and same goes to the shisha too where research revealed.

This fact was revealed by Department of Health and the Tobacco Control Collaborating Centre. Facts which revealed are:

It found one session of smoking shisha resulted in carbon monoxide levels at least four to five times higher than the amount produced by one cigarette. High levels of carbon monoxide can lead to brain damage and unconsciousness.

But measuring carbon monoxide in exhaled breath showed a normal non-smoker’s level to be three parts CO per million parts of air (ppm) (less than 1 per cent of blood not working properly), a light smoker to have 10 to 20 ppm (2 to 4 per cent of blood not working properly), and a heavy smoker 30 to 40 ppm (5 to 7 percent).
The study found shisha smokers had 40 to 70 ppm of CO in their breath – affecting 8 to 12 per cent of their blood.

“Our mouths opened at the level of harm – none of the tests we did showed anything other than shisha is hazardous to health.” – Bernama

So i hope you people got the correct fact about the disadvantages of shisha.

Shisha Bars Up In Smoke

Owners of shisha bars in Dubai have complained of a massive drop in business due to new health regulations that have banned outdoor smoking of the tobacco.
Dubai Municipality launched a crackdown, banning smoking near schools, mosques and residential areas, on January 1.
The National Tobacco Control Committee, which drafted the new law, says it will help reduce smoking and improve air quality.
However, the manager of ‘The Grind’ cafe in Al Mankhool has said that the cafe has seen a 40 per cent drop in business after he was forced to take all outdoor shisha smoking inside.
“It’s terrible. It destroys the whole culture of shisha smoking,” manager Mervin Bacheco said.
“People like to sit outside, have a coffee and smoke as they talk.”
He added: “It is having a very serious effect for us.”
Bacheco, from Goa, India, said that the cafe began moves to comply with the regulations about three months ago and has seen a serious drop off in business.
He added that the cafe has done its best to comply with all reasonable health regulations which have now been imposed by the Municipality.
“The cafe will obey the law but it’s disappointing for us,” he said.
A worker at one Bur Dubai-based shisha bar said she would be complying with the new law.
“We have a good record and the municipality have cited us as a positive example, but new regulations seem to come in every day,” she said.
Dr Wedad Al Maidour, head of the National Tobacco Control Committee, has previously said that restricting shisha-smoking to indoors would help to protect the public’s health.
She said that children should not be exposed to adults’ smoke.

Disease Cost by Smoking

The list of diseases caused by smoking includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema), coronary heart disease, stroke, abdominal aortic aneurysm, acute myeloid leukemia, cataract, pneumonia, periodontitis, and bladder, esophageal, laryngeal, lung, oral, throat, cervical, kidney, stomach, and pancreatic cancers. Smoking is also a major factor in a variety of other conditions and disorders, including slowed healing of wounds, infertility, and peptic ulcer disease.

Cigarette Alternatives

A hookah or shisha is a single or multi-stemmed (often glass-based) water pipe for smoking. Originally fromIndia, hookah has gained immense popularity, especially in the Middle East and is gaining popularity in the USA, UK, Canada, and elsewhere. Today, some of the highest quality and most extravagant hookah pipes come from Egypt, Iran and Turkey. The hookah operates by water filtration and indirect heat. It is used for smoking herbal fruits and tobacco, and is often considered to be healthier than smoking cigarettes, although recent studies have shown that it is just as detrimental to a person’s health.

History of Shisha

In India in the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar following the European introduction of tobacco to India, Hakim Abul Fateh Gilani a descendant of Abdul Qadir Al-Gilani came from Baghdad to India who was later a physician in the court of Mughal raised concerns after smoking tobacco became popular among Indian noblemen, and subsequently envisaged a system which allowed smoke to be passed through water in order to be ‘purified’. Gilani introduced the hookah after Asad Beg, then ambassador of Bijapur, encouraged Akbar to take up smoking. Following popularity among noblemen, this new device from Arabiafor smoking soon became a status symbol for the Indian aristocracy and gentry. The Indian Hookah was designed differently from the Arabian Hookah or Shisha which was invented during the Abbasid Empire in Baghdad. They were different in shape and design.

Sheet music

6.12.10 - This is probably my oldest and most used music book. I love playing the Venetian Gondola Boat Song (Op 30 No. 6) by Felix Mendelssohn because it's in a minor key (F# I believe) and I love minor songs. Songs in a minor key - to me- are like pictures in high contrast: much more interesting if done correctly and harder to pull off, but intriguing if you can.

Look at my book! It is falling apart. So sad. Every time I play through it, a piece falls or gets torn off.

For Elise (Bagatelle No.25 in A minor). She must have been a special girl for Beethoven to name this piece in her honor. Romantic. Music fact of the day: Fur Elise was found and published 40 years after Beethoven died.

6/8 is a difficult time signature...especially in A major/F# minor. I hated counting aloud during piano lessons...well, actually I rarely counted (6/8: one and a, two and a...) during practice sessions and then all of a sudden, in the presence of my strict Russian piano teachers, I counted like a pro. Ha.

My upright

6.12.10 - Happy August! My birthday is a week away.

This week my blog is focused on all things pertaining to my piano. The above picture is of my cute little brown upright piano. I got it when I was about seven when my family moved from South Minneapolis to the suburbs. If you didn't know, I am a classically trained pianist with about 10 years of professional lessons under my belt and have been playing for about 17 years total..wow, that is a lot of time! I didn't practice very much during college because I didn't really have much access to a piano, but now that I'm back home, I've started to play again and although I have my bad days, it is still nice to know that my fingers can fly across octaves when I play the songs that I know very well.

Sometimes when I play, I don't even have to think. My fingers just know where they need to go and I never count anymore (I've always hated counting to keep time), I just remember how the song is supposed to sound and sometimes I change the time signature to suit my mood. Sound lazy? Yeah it is, but I'm not a professional competing pianist anymore, I just play for fun.

My baby grand piano. 

My dad told me when I was little if I kept up with my lessons and competitions he would buy me a baby grand. I don't really remember the details, but let's just say I don't really want one now and it's a good thing because there isn't even room in my house for one. Maybe one day if I have $40,000 or $50,000 around and the space for it, I'll get a black Steinway baby grand, but until then, my upright is just fine.

On the strike line

6.9.10 - Mary and I walked the graveyard shift (well, 11:30pm-2:30am) at the strike line in front of North Memorial. I usually go to bed around 3am anyway, so I decided to show my support and protest with her. By now, we all know that the strike is over and the nurses voted to not strike again, so with nurses back at work I finally feel safe to go to the ER - if only I had health insurance...

"We are the union. The mighty mighty union. Fighting for justice. Fighting for respect. Fighting for our healthcare. Fighting for our pensions.." -A different version of the above chant that I used to shout in NYC for UNITE HERE.

Le jardin

6.5.10 - The garden. I've written about it before, but I will say again that I do not garden, also I admit that I have more of a black thumb instead of a green thumb, meaning I have probably killed nearly every plant I've ever had, but I can design and decorate (and photograph!)  - so that's good enough...right?

Bangles of the week

Favorite bangles of the week. I compiled three different sets and pieces.

Dear Blogger,
I'm so sorry I've not been posting very much recently. I had decided to change my previous daily posting schedule to thrice-weekly so that I wouldn't feel guilty when I didn't get around to blogging every day, but my summer has become busy that between a camping trip, day trips, long drives, movies, errands, shopping, coffees, lunches, dinners and drinks with friends, I've quite forgotten to post all of the pictures I've been taking thus far to even meet my thrice-weekly quota. Anyway, I'm back and will do my best to catch up this week.

This week I hope to start the process of catching up by dumping photos on Facebook and undertaking the task of tagging everyone I know (it seems like that anyway) and after that is done, I have to blog, update my portfolio on Flickr, call clients, clean out Gmail and I've just realized that this is my to do list. Sigh. I'm sure we all have our fair share of lists - written or mental -but it is very satisfying to cross off a task that has been completed so maybe I'll write out my mental lists and stop this rambling ADD blog post. AH! It's almost August!? Okay, ready? 1, 2, 3. Go.

Sincerely,
-b

I write like David Foster Wallace. Yes!

I write like

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

Yeah...I do! Proof. I took a test that analyzed my writing style and I love my test's result because I read "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" in college for a Freshman Composition class and I loved it. His run-ons, long sentences, ellipses, many many footnotes...all me. Maybe one day I shall write a memoir with 34594356 footnotes. Okay, not that many, but my paper that I wrote for that class had like 100 footnotes because I wrote it in homage to DFW, so it can be done. Look out publisher, here I plan to come!

Pink roses

6.7.10 - I really like the color pink. I used to love it in a juvenile way - buying tons of pink Lisa Frank pens and stationary when I was a youngin', but I have since then upgraded to buying pink flowers or bangles, and speaking of pink, these pink roses in my front yard are quite lovely.

Many pink rose petals fall from the rose bush to the ground around the trellis and when a strong wind blows, the rose petals flutter down the street bringing their fragrance with them.

A bee and sage

6.3.10 - Russian Sage from my front yard...I think. If I'm wrong, let me know. This is either Russian Sage or a hybrid, Blue Spire (but it looks purple so I'm not really quite sure).

BEE! I think I'm been half-way stung once when I was a child, but since then never. Hovering around this sage was slightly unsettling because there were tons of bees and I felt like they really didn't like me in their bubble.

A night at the races

6.3.10 - Mary, Nathan and I- in the spirit of being spontaneous- decided to check out Canterbury Park one evening. After a 45 minute drive, we got there around 8:30pm, which was just in time for free admission/parking, sporadic horse races, $1 hot dogs/nachos/Pepsi and a $2 cup of beer. Hot dogs were decent, nachos were really gross and I don't drink beer, but the entire evening was a bargain.

It was my first time at a horse track and it was an informative experience. We didn't go into any of the other areas for gambling such as poker rooms, but I saw that it's a pretty big place with lots of opportunities to bet against the house and lose. That being said, I really do enjoy a few rounds of Blackjack.

The spectator area is kind of empty because it is a Thursday evening. I hear it gets packed on the weekends.

Welcome to the car wash

5.31.10 - Time to wash the car! Mary and I drove around until we found a car wash that had Tutti-Fruitti soap because it smells so good and looks cool; I'm telling you, sometimes really small things make me happy.

Vortex dry? Yes, please. I've been kind of uneasy about car washes since my friend, Karl told me a story of his friend's VW catching on fire in the car wash one day. How does that happen with all that water? I don't really know if I believe him or not, I'm just relaying this little comment.

Midnight ride in the limo

5.29.10 - My family and I went out for dinner one warm summer evening and we took the limo. It's such a weird way to be transported around town, but it is fun, and considering that there is a lot of us, it can be somewhat justified from time-to-time. I stuck my head and camera out the window and snapped this picture.

Can you tell what this picture is of? Sometimes I feel like I have editing problems because I know what the picture is of and it's hard to be objective about my photography on the spot. Usually, I have to come back a few days or weeks later to decide if I made the right call or not on a photo. Now, cropping is a completely different matter and for another time.

Cosmos, Flirtinis, Sex and the City...2

Seven has a great rooftop bar. On a slightly cold night, this modern firepit is lovely.

5.27.10 - Mary, MJ, some other girlfriends and I went to Minneapolis to watch a midnight screening of the new Sex and the City movie. We had Cosmopolitans and Flirtinis at SEVEN, relaxed on the rooftop and enjoyed the beautiful night sky before walking across the street to Block E where we watched the second SaTC.

Okay, so the movie...Well, it was strange. It was like a weird fantasy getaway except none of it really matched the title. First of all, Abu Dhabi is so last year, and for a movie actually filmed in Morocco, they should have just rewritten the plot to go there instead, it wouldn't have made that much of a difference, and in fact, I would have preferred a lovely Marrakesh adventure to the ladies' cliche ethnic excursions.

Other than the numerous expiates (which makes sense, hello it is the UAE) in the movie, who were all pretty much treated like harem slaves in some cringe-worthy moments, there were a few holes that really were never filled, also after 6ish years of getting to know some of the other characters in the tv series, some of the men were literally reduced to one minute cameos or a ridiculous 20 minute wedding scene complete with real life Swarovski-inspired swans. Samantha's character was ridiculous unfabulous sometimes, from her hormone-crazed frenzy to humping everything on set, it was tacky.

Fashion was either a big hit or a really big miss. I did love all the snake-inspired pieces Samantha wore and in general, I like Middle Eastern prints and patterns, so I was mostly happy with how they were cut and worn. I got a huge craving for khussa's during the movie and decided I need to add to my small collection of khussa flats by buying more. I loved Carrie's market bazaar outfit. I heard that her symmetrical-cut large skirt was the delivered to famous SaTC designer, Patricia Field, as the form dummy for another skirt, so she modified it to be a real skirt and I loved it.

To SaTC's credit, I will say that this movie had more actual people of color then Prince of Persia, which after watching the credits roll on both movies, I quickly realized the only role in PoP that featured a person of color was Sir Ben Kingsly's roll, and many people don't even realize that he is half-Indian. Both movies really needed some actual Middle Eastern or Arabs in the movie, but SaTC had a few, PoP had none. Tsk tsk.

The first SaTC movie was absolutely fabulous and this one, because it didn't live up to my expectations, was...well, just less.

Happy Fourth of July!

Look at all the starbursts!

7.4.10 - Shauna, her family and some of our friends went to Aquila Park in St. Louis Park to watch fireworks. We got there at 8pm and played Uno and listened to jazz music streaming from Pandora via my new BlackBerry Bold until the fireworks began at 10pm.

Pretty!

Phoenix?

I don't know what this looks like, but it is interesting.

This one is weird, but also interesting. I kind of like the lens flare action that is happening on the left too. After looking through all my pictures, I'm surprised to see that my camera picked up so many starbursts from the fireworks, in fact, I'm pretty damn impressed.

Wondering how I took all these pictures? I laid on my back with something to prop up my head, and used my chest as a tripod to steady and steady the camera during it's long exposure times. Well, now you know.
