Real or not

Sometimes we encounter things in life that defies the very nature of how we look at things, events, places, etc.... These unexplainable terms in human existence that go against reasons and even the very core of scientific probabilities, yet can only be solve by those who are actually be involve in such.

Enough of that...

I was checking out Yahoo.com for some daily dose of headlines throughout the world, one particular headline post stated "Time traveler" caught on film caught my undivided attention.

At first I said to myself, probably a new movie similar to back to the future or something, so I checked it out. To my amazement is wasn't like that at all. I was dismayed however, not on the topic, but on the slowness of the streaming process. So I logged in to my you-tube account and see what the fuzz is all about.
The film in question was taken on the premier of the movie "The Circus" one of Charlie Chaplin movies back in the year 1928. Just check out the Video.



Based on the video, I admit its weird and frankly subject to debate among aficionados, though not so important in the face of global events to say the least. Yet since I'm at this subject I decided to give it a go, and throw in a few of my own theories. though nobody really ask for it. Just for the fun of it...

Observation
Upon viewing the video I notice an old woman walking and holding something in her hand and near to her face, she appears to be talking to it or some sort. I also noticed the physical feature of the person in question, noting the size of her shoe though a bit pointy. Anyway, Comparing that to today's everyday running's in modern society, you get the impression that she's conversing with somebody on her mobile phone which is pretty much common nowadays but not her era. Though the same behavior in question is not much common here as well, from where I am that is,  since mobile phone usually get pluck-out of you by unwanted personalities in society..




Anyway, For this I only have 3 crazy theories and a short bundle of down to Earth possibilities.

Theory Number 1: Time traveler
OK, that's what George Clarke was saying: But before I start anything else there is a nagging question that pop in everyone's mind, and that is, is it possible to travel through time?
Will, I'm no scientist to answer that in a more scientific manner of speaking, but a certain notable scientist seems to thing so. If memory serves me correct Albert Einstein theorized the possibility of time travel through his theory of relativity.
So do time traveler exist?  in a distant future perhaps there is. If there is a mathematical solution to the enigma "Einstein's Theory" Then perhaps somebody have already done it, without us knowing it. Einstein theory may be far fetch for those of us who knew little, but you can not deny what Einstein's influence did to modern society. The possibility is there.

Theory Number 2: Aliens(what else is new)
We live in a galaxy that is pretty much uncharted. Our scientist are now beginning to discover planets that may have a high degree of probability of another intelligent life form as our technology began to speed up. And the clear point is this, if we exist, than there is a possibility that other more intelligent life exist out there in space. And may have already visited and still doing so ever since.  Though apparently I never meet one.
There are those who claim that they've encountered what they think, a more intelligent life forms from outer space. Indeed this is one of the great mysteries since recorded history. Are we alone in the Universe? Even the Bible tells some weird intermingling of species. In  the Book of Genesis, tells a story about angels from heaven coming down and taking women as their waives and their offspring became giants and great heroes of the past.  If the woman or what it appears to be, in the video is indeed a visiting alien then that would explain her unusual size shoe and somewhat manly facial features.

Theory Number 3: Super Secret Agent
If you ever seen a James bond movie, Then this could be the real deal. like mission impossible, with all the hop-la from great espionage gadgets to unbelievable disguises. Though the person in question does have some shoe size issue not to mention the facial part. But the film crew did not notice it, until 82 years latter. Better late than never don't you think!?





OK! enough of that, lets move to a more serious down to earth theory as to the possible identity of the person in question.

Theory:  Light sensitive, Complaining passerby.
My down to Earth theory is so simple, that one only need to pack it in a few sentences.

There are times when we see something that is so common to us that we can be so certain of it, even if its a mile a way or in this case a few eras back. But it does not mean were 100% correct either. For such things are subject to one's own interpretation, There are also times when we see something or in this case someone from a different time frame, we immediately associated it  with our way of doing things, like talking and walking with a mobile phone in hand. For all we you the poor woman was just covering her face with a make-up kit. or a small leather notebook. The was and event after all. She could very will be part of the press covering the whole affair.

How do you explain her talking then.

That is where the  "Light sensitive, Complaining passerby" comes in.


Explanation?
As I keep watching the video. I notice the shadows of the people including the person in question. First the shadow was reflected on the wall then, then on the ground, and the detail the amount of shade (darkness) in which the shadow is casts. This only indicate artificial lighting and a very bright one at that. Now I don't know much about movie making, but I know for a fact the even today movie crew use lights and plenty of it. Could that be the reason why her hand is near her face? where her hand is up against the lighting system? Note the shadow and the angle of her hands against it. Another reason why the lighting system is the culprit is angle of the shadow when it cast on the ground. The shadow is far to long, and if it was taken in the morning, that would be around 6:00 to 7:00 a.m. not wise for a premier movie time. If its on the afternoon then the shadow cast would be around 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. Anyway what ever the case the crew would still need lights and a very powerful one at that.

So my down to Earth Theory is this"

The Film crew sets up a prop, in this case the zebra. Pops-up some ridiculously powerful lighting system. which is obvious since camera in those times were not as advance as the cameras of today, like an aerial search light of sort and started shooting on the prop. Where a few people just happened to pass by. One of which is an old lady, with a small leather note pad or a little face powder box or anything common everyday thing in that era in her hand. And shielding herself from the light and complaining about it or something. Then she looks at the crew to voice her opinion or what ever. The filming on that set was stopped and switch to another location. The crew being considerate to the poor lady probably said, we'll put you on the movies or something. Or the reason why she was talking is that when she pass by she was complaining about the excessive lights and the film crew was egging her on. Like "just walk as if were not here filming you" of sort.

Needing back up

I've always like playing  PC games, mostly RTS. And honestly I never grew tired of it despite my age. I manage to have quite a collection over the past years. From the very simple and a bit childish to the mind bugling complicated stuff. Over the years of playing this stuff, I notice a lot of things on the disk itself and it seems all worn out. Some have scratches and it badly affect my gaming, to make it worst, most of the damage disk are my favorite games.As result to this unwanted and unavoidable damages. I'm have no choice but to buy another one. Copying seems the cheap and viable alternative yet it can be very tricky,  and its no good since most of this stuff are heavily protected. It seems to me making back-up for my collection seems like an impossible alternative.  
Yet buying another set of the same game seems too over impractical. Since most of the stuff doesn't come cheap in this country. So I did a little browsing to solve this dilemma.



And I think found the stuff I've been looking for.

Imagine if you will, having all your games backed-up. you can used the the back-up disk until the end while keeping the original copy all tuck in nice and safe.




You'll probably ask what about the “Unbreakable Protection” each game have embedded on each game disc.
Well, all I can say is "what is that if you have this copy system"  that breaks through the latest “Unbreakable Protection” easily. All you have to do is follow either the video or text tutorial and your ready to roll and start backing up your game collections.

Your question would probably be.

Does it work on all possible format?
It works for all consoles including PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Gamecube, PSP, Nintendo DS, Playstation, PS One, PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast, and Game Boy/GameBoy Advanced! It even for PC games.

FYI "Herbs" Garlic

When I was a kid playing with relatives and friends was a regular thing to do. One day As I just came home from school. I heard a laud shout from My cousins house, which was a close proximity to ours. Out of curiosity I went to check what the commotion was all about. Apparently my cousin got bitten by a stray dog while playing outside their home. It was an awesome site to behold. When I got there, blood was all over the place. It was a deep bit on the leg. And for a child around 6-7 yrs. old that meant a load of cries from my poor cousin. His mother was quick to act though, after cleaning the wound she took some cloves of garlic and squeeze the juice out and applied it to the wound. Though the result was more of terror from my cousin,it seems the application of the garlic juice was more painful than the actual dog bite. Nonetheless it was first aid his mother said. After that they went to a Doctor for more medical attention. After that, all went well.

Though the application of garlic on the wound cause by the stray dog somewhat debatable on my part though I’m not a medical expert to begin with. But after seeing what had happened the only thing I said was. "Garlic?" other than food I never though of it as something medicinal, of course being at young age then, I never really give it much importance. And as it turn out Garlic does have medicinal value. Indeed from the ancient Egyptians to modern times "Garlic" have been used for religious practice, food, medicine and oddly enough folklore (against vampires and such).

Garlic (scientific name: Allium sativum) is one of the most widely used herbs of all time. It’s medicinal properties has been will known, that during World War II. Because of garlic’s antibacterial compound known as Allicin, lives were saved by preventing wounds from having infection and later develop into gangrene when the juice of garlic was applied to the wounds.

Garlic is known as nature’s antibiotic. It’s juices inhibits the growth of fungi and viruses thus prevents viral, yeast and viral infections. Several clinical test and published studies have shown the efficacy of garlic in lowering cholesterol in the blood and is beneficial to the circulatory system of the body. Today as more research is done with garlic, more medicinal and therapeutic properties become more evident.

Benefits of Garlic:

• Good for the heart
• Helps lower bad cholesterol levels (LDL)
• Aids in lowering blood pressure
• Remedy for arteriosclerosis
• May help prevent certain types of cancer
• Boosts immune system to fight infection
• With antioxidant properties
• Cough and cold remedy
• Relives sore throat, toothache
• Aids in the treatment of tuberculosis
• With anticoagulant properties

Preparation of Garlic:

• For disinfecting wound, crush and juice the garlic bulb and apply. You may cover the afflicted area with a gauze and bandage.

• For sore throat and toothache, peal the skin and chew. Swallow the juice.

• Aside from being an herbal medicine for hypertension, arteriosclerosis and other ailments, garlic is also recommended for maintaining good health - eat raw garlic bulb, and include garlic regularly in the food you eat. It’s healthy and taste good
in a variety of dishes.

Cautions

* Known adverse effects of garlic include halitosis (non-bacterial), indigestion, nausea, emesis and diarrhea.

* Garlic may interact with warfarin, antiplatelets, saquinavir, antihypertensives, Calcium channel blockers, hypoglycemic drugs, as well as other medications. Consult a health professional before taking a garlic supplement or consuming excessive amounts of garlic.

* Garlic can thin the blood similar to the effect of aspirin.

* Two outbreaks of botulism have been caused by consuming commercially produced garlic-in-oil preparations that were not properly preserved. It is especially important for home-preparation to use safe and tested food-preservation methods to retard bacterial growth, such as including sufficient salt or acidity and keeping the mixture refrigerated. It is recommended to not keep home-preparations for more than a week.

* While culinary quantities are considered safe for consumption, very high quantities of garlic and garlic supplements have been linked with an increased risk of bleeding, particularly during pregnancy and after surgery and child birth Some breastfeeding mothers have found their babies slow to feed and have noted a garlic odor coming from their baby when they have consumed garlic. The safety of garlic supplements had not been determined for children.

* The side effects of long-term garlic supplementation, if any exist, are largely unknown and no FDA-approved study has been performed. However, garlic has been consumed for several thousand years without any adverse long-term effects, suggesting that modest quantities of garlic pose, at worst, minimal risks to normal individuals. Possible side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort, sweating, dizziness, allergic reactions, bleeding, and menstrual irregularities.

* Some degree of liver toxicity has been demonstrated in rats, particularly in large quantities.

* There have been several reports of serious burns resulting from garlic being applied topically for various purposes, including naturopathic uses and acne treatment. On the basis of numerous reports of such burns, including burns to children, topical use of raw garlic, as well as insertion of raw garlic into body cavities is discouraged. In particular, topical application of raw garlic to young children is not advisable.

* Garlic and onions might be toxic to cats and dogs.

Hope this widen your knowledge about garlic. If you want to know more or would like to try it out best to consult the expert in herbal medicine and your Doctor. I'm supposed to mention the odd folklore stuff but I think it would only make a mess of things.
