Microsleeping

Hi friends,

How are you doing? I hope you are fine.

I would like to talk about  a classic symptom called microsleeping.

Microsleeping is an action when you fall asleep for 10 seconds or a bit more, but it should not be longer than 30 seconds. (If it lasts like that, it is not called a microsleep. It means you are sleeping).

I am sure you all have had some microsleeps, like nodding head and drooping eyelids. It is known in Thai as “Lab Nai”.  Microsleeping is caused by some reasons: You didn’t sleep well as you are stressful. You are insomniac, or whatever aspects.

Microsleeping is dangerous for you. Once you are driving, you can’t concentrate on driving performance. Then, you might be led to a car accident. Or, when you walk along the canal, you might fall in there, and a crocodile in that canal is expecting you!

To avoid microsleeps, you must have a good sleep.

And to sleep well, you are required to eat nutrients food, do exercises, not drink alcohol and not drink too much coffee. Some people said breathing in and out in the form of yoga will help you sleep well, too.

Hope you will not be microsleeping after reading my writing.

Have a lovely weekend.

Thanks to some information from a TV programme on Thai PBS channel.( Kon Su Roke , or Keep  Diseases away)

hi! Guys Do you Know why the thai people must do KON POM FAI for their children and what thay belife about that? i know that some people didnt know it so today i would like to share some knowledge for you and hope it will be useful for you. The Kwan Duan (Kon Pom Fai) Ceremony Kwan, in Thai people's belief, is the spirit existing in their heads and protects them from harm and illness. When a baby is one month old, it is considered to be safe as a "mankind's child". Then the Kwan Duan ceremony is held in order to auspiciously bless the child. If the auspicious occasion is determined to be in the morning, it is customary to invite the monks to perform evening chanting in the day before the auspicious day. This occasion is also a ceremony for laying down the baby into the cradle. This ceremony is organized in various extents, basing upon the financial status of the child's parents or relatives. The ceremony comprises of the evening chanting on the day before the auspicious day calculated by the astrologer based upon the child's horoscope (birth time). In the next morning, there is a merit making by offering food to monks then followed by a Brahman ceremony that starts by striking a gong of history exactly at the auspicious time. The chairman of the ceremony touches a holy water on to the child's head then uses a razor to touch the hair as if he is shaving the child's hair. The monks perform a Jayanto Pray to bless the child. A Brahman priest hits a Ban Dor (small drum used in Brahmin rites), then the Pin Pat (gamelan orchestra) and Mahoree (Thai orchestra) plays their songs to bless the child. When the child's head is cleanly shaved, a Brahma priest performs a bathing rite, using the holy water prepared on the day that the monks perform the evening chanting. The water is normally warm and contained in a big bowl or a bathtub. The child is ritually dipped into the water, and then placed on the mattress in front of the Bai Sri (cooked rice topped with the boiled egg, used as offering). A person who holds a baby is normally the child's grandmother. If not available, a highly respected person can be invited instead. After that, the Brahma performs ritual ceremony by charming and burning Sai Sin (sacred white cord) to keep out evil spirits. The child's hands and feet are then bound and anointed with Kra Jae Powder. Then the Brahman priest ritually feeds the child with coconut water. After that, candles are lit up in 3 glasses to bless the child for three times. The glasses are then passed on to guests and relatives one by one to the left whereas turning their right side to the child because it is believed that the right side is a symbol of auspiciousness. During this time, the Pin Pat (gamelan orchestra) and Mahoree (Thai orchestra) play their songs until the candles revolutionary celebration is completed. The candles are then handed over to the Brahma who will pitch them in the milled rice bowl one by one. When the candles are all pitched in the milled rice bowl, they are squeezed into one candle. The lit-candle is then put out using the betel leaves packed together under the belief that it helps to blow the smoke from God of Fire away from the child at a considerable distance. When the candle ritual activity is finished, the Brahman priest prepares a mattress for the baby and place the child's belongings at the cradle's edges and under the pillow. Then the cat that is cleaned and dressed, wearing a collar to imply that it is a domestic animal, is put into the cradle in order to show that the cat is given to the child. The cat is then removed from the cradle and let go. After the child's belongings are completely arranged, the Brahman priest then carries the baby to place into the cradle. Then the ceremony is finished when the Brahman priest singsongs the baby in Brahmin dialogue. (The implied meaning of placing the cat into the cradle is that they wish the child to be easily raised up as the cat) Note - The Kwan Wan or Kwan Duan ceremony for those who are financially shortage can be a brief ceremony by only binding the Sai Sin at the child's wrisks then shaving off the hair. This is proper for their financial status. Ritual instruments Preparation Prepare tables for Buddha images as appropriate to the place's size and number of monks. Prepare the child's horoscope records, a holy water bowl with a candle, a spool of Sai sin (a sacred white chord) placed in a tray, vases, flower trays, a joss stick basin, and at least a pair of candle bases. A candle is paired with a flower (non-limit amount). Arrange the group of tables mentioned above and place a mat and a cushion for each monk. Also, each mink must be served with refreshments (water, areca palm, betel, cigarette) and a spittoon. In the next morning, each monk must be served with well-prepared food and deserts. Other things may be presented to the monks as the host's wishes.

What is a Sugar Glider?

Hi every body,This is the first article for me. I think that Ajarn Karnchanok and my friend knowing my lovely pet named "Kaitom". But for other people who don't know him. I'm telling you now.

"Kaitom" is a Sugar Glider, a small arboreal marsupial that is found in the forests of Australia, as well as in Tasmania, New Guinea, and the neighboring islands of Indonesia. This little creature is a member of the same order that includes kangaroos, opossums, wombats and Tasmanian devils. In the wilds of their native habitat, the sugar gliders are tree dwelling creatures, often living in groups of 15 to 30. They are active by night when they hunt for insects and small vertebrates and feed on the sweet sap of certain species of eucalyptus, acacia and gum trees. Sugar gliders are so named for their preference for sweet foods and their ability to glide through the air like a flying squirrel. They travel through the midnight tree tops by launching themselves into the air and transforming into a living kite by spreading out their sails of skin.

Sugar gliders are capable of a wide repertoire of calls that vary from bird-like chirps to dog-like barking. By far their most extraordinary vocalization is the one they make when disturbed in their nest. This is what we call crabbing. It defies description but sounds somewhat like those rattles they hand out at new year parties. Calling to one another is just one means by which they communicate.

The sugar glider makes a fascinating and unique pet which becomes extremely friendly when provided daily interaction with humans. In order to become the friendliest possible pets, glider babies should be handled daily as soon as they have emerged from the pouch and their eyes are open. Their most endearing quality is the ease with which they bond to their human friends, especially when obtained at a young age (best if purchased shortly after weaning). Male sugar gliders generally reach maturity around nine to ten months; females shortly thereafter. Please note that sexual maturity can start as early as 4 months, making them capable of reproducing. If properly cared for, they will soon crave your attention. Being nocturnal, they are content to "snuggle" during the day in their cage or in your hand or pocket. During the evening, they become more active and will glide into your hand. Hand-tamed, well adjusted gliders are easy to handle and will not run away, even during their active periods. Both male and female sugar gliders make excellent pets, with a life span of ten to twelve years, sometimes longer. In the wild, however, 4 to 6 years is the usual life expectancy.

Morever, they have many of the characteristics of the perfect pet in that they are clean, personable, attractive and relatively quiet. Their housing and dietary requirements are easy to cater to. They are hardy and don't have a lot of health problems.

If you are finding some pet, sugar glider is the best choice that you will pick them to your home.
