Have You Ever Noticed This Symbol On Half The Food You Buy? THIS Is What It Means!

image via – youtube.com

Kosher is a Hebrew word that means “fit” and when it’s applied to food products it means that the items were produced in accordance with Jewish law. The Torah set out the basic foundation governing such dietary laws and the foods that Jewish people are permitted to eat.

In today’s world of mass production, where thousands of different products are widely available, only items labeled as certified kosher are seen as fit for consumption.

As such, in order to help people adhere to the dietary guidelines that their faith demands, the food industry had to come up with a label that quickly conveys that a food has been certified kosher. The symbol that is used universally all throughout the world is a U enclosed in a circle.

It can be found on product packaging or labeling and its presence means that the food has been certified kosher. While there are many different versions of the symbol that exist, almost all of them contain the circled U in addition to other writing or symbols.

When a P is next to the kosher symbol it means the product contains meat. When a D is next to it, that means it contains dairy. In addition, there are many kosher organizations that certify products and they each use a different image to show they’ve approved of them.

This is what accounts for many of the slight differences among labels and the accompanying video does an excellent job showing and explaining this and more. The kosher label is not only helpful for kosher observers, it also helps a variety of others, and can be of use to you too.

People with dairy allergies, vegans, and those on specific diets use the symbol to avoid meat and dairy products that are labeled as such. Plus, if you ever pick up something and are wondering whether or not it contains milk, dairy, or other animal products, check for the kosher symbol.

There you have it and if you didn’t already know what the symbol of a circled U stood for, now you do!

There have been a rash of robberies using of all things, a penny or nickel! How are they using a coin to enter your car? Whether your car is sitting in your driveway or a lot when you are shopping, the thief slides a nickel or penny in the door handle of the passenger side. To what end?

They follow you to wherever you are going. When you attempt to use your key for central locking it won’t work, because the passenger car door is jammed. They then will be able to get into your car and steal anything they want, including the car itself, if they have the knowhow!

So be sure to check the passenger car door handle before entering your car, to check that no coin has been inserted. Thieves have also been known to hide in the back to carjack you with this method! So it would be best to check the back seat, or even call 911 in case the thief has climbed into your trunk…Better safe than sorry!

She Was Up Partying At Night Then She Was Given A Pill. What She Looks Like Now Is Heartbreaking!

image via – youtube.com

In a local town of Glasgow, Scotland a beautiful 16-year-old, Amy Thompson, met up with her friends at a party.  The purpose of this party was for all who attended to take “Ecstasy”; they believed that the pill they were taking was MDMA.

Almost immediately after ingesting their doses, Amy and her two friends collapsed, and were rushed to the hospital.  Amy’s two friends completely recovered after a short period of time, but Amy remained in a coma.  She was kept on life support for over a month, as her family sat by her side in disbelief and anguish.

Miraculously she awoke, but it immediately became apparent that something was very wrong.  She had suffered severe physical and brain damage.  She has courageously made strides in an attempt to recover as much functioning as possible, and hopefully will continue to make strides in physical and cognitive therapy.

She and her family have posted the footage of Amy, in her current condition, as a way of thanking all those who lent their support in her recovery.  Further, they want her story and this video to be used as a warning about the potential devastation of what a single pill looking for a night of fun, can do to a life.

The video you are about to watch could very well change your life and the lives of those you love.  We have all become addicted to our phones.  Though we have been warned repeatedly about the dangers of texting and driving, people continue to do it, causing serious accidents that result in their own and other peoples’ deaths.

Although laws have been passed making texting and driving illegal in most places, people still think that they can look away from the road for a second to read or send a text.  Although this is more common among teenagers, it occurs amongst all age groups.  Although most people would never think of driving drunk, they will text, which statistically is just as dangerous!

The following footage is a mini-documentary sponsored by AT&T, in which friends and family talk about the tragic losses they have experienced, as a consequence of people texting and driving.  They share the last text that the person who died sent before crashing, and in all cases they were unimportant.

This is a must-see video to remind all of us, that no quick message is worth losing our lives over.  Listening to the grim reality of this terribly dangerous behavior, serves as such a necessary warning for all of us.  That one second of looking away can change lives forever.

Watch the video below and remember never ever text and drive!

Apparently You Should Never Throw Away Your Boarding Pass. The Reason Is Something Everyone Should Know!

image via – youtube.com

When we travel by air, we hold onto our boarding passes like our lives depend on it, before boarding. We know that without it we are not getting on that plane. Once we have boarded, many of us become more careless about it’s whereabouts, because we are done with it. Sometimes we slip it in the seat pocket in front of us, stick it in a magazine, or just chuck it.

Until watching this video I never realized that my carelessness with the boarding pass had the potential to land me in a ton of trouble! Evidently there is personal information frequently encrypted on the pass, according to ‘Krebs on Security”.

All that an unscrupulous person has to do is get a screen shot of the bar code on the boarding pass, and feed it into a bar code reader on “Inlite’s” site. It was pointed out by a forensic expert for CBS, Winston Krone, that it is possible for the encrypted information on the bar code to contain personal email addresses, home addresses and phone numbers.

Access to personal financial information is just a step away. Please watch the footage below to help insure the safety of your personal information. I never would have dreamed that being careless with my boarding pass could lead to such potential damage.

This Locksmith Is Asking People Not To Buy Master Locks Anymore. I Had No Idea This Was Possible!

image via – youtube.com

Master Lock is one of the top selling commercial lock producers worldwide and just about any hardware store you visit likely carries the name-brand. The company produces several types of traditional and combination padlocks which can be used to secure a variety of things.

People use them to lock up doors and bikes to chains or whatever else they can think of that fits the designs. When the company first started producing locks they were made out of laminated steel layers, which made them ultra durable and sturdy.

Modern designs feature innovative advanced features, such as titanium and stainless steel materials and battery operated digital displays. However, the plain old padlock remains a consumer favorite and chances are you have one yourself somewhere around the house. If you’re using it to safeguard highly valuable items, you may want to rethink your lock options.

It turns out that Master Locks are incredibly easy to overcome and open. To show people exactly how easy they are to crack, YouTube’s Bosnianbll uploaded a video demonstrating how one of the lock models can be picked open in a matter of seconds. You don’t need to be an expert or even remotely mechanically adept to pull this off.

All a person has to do is apply tension to the lock by slightly pulling on the shackle, the u-shaped curved top portion, with one hand. In the other hand, take a hammer and hit the top part of the lock body firmly on the side. After a few steady blows the locking mechanism can be overcome and the shackle will pop out from the body, making it easy to remove.

Bosnianbll was able to open it in about 10 seconds with the help of just a hammer, that’s how quick and easy it is to override. And while this video is meant to serve as a warning, it can obviously be used for less than honorable intentions.

It may also help someone open a lock that they lost the key to, but either way it’s good to be aware of, so be sure to keep this information in mind!
