Doctors give advice: do notpanic and do engage in preventive anti-influenza measures. Meanwhile Armenia's Minister of Health, Harutyun Kushkyan, orderedto examine pupils all around the state schools. Some schools providemedical masks for children, and involve school doctors in inspections. Moreover, some parents avoid using public transport to stay away fromcrowds and send their kids to school by taxi. Aysor's correspondent learnt that kindergartens do not still hold anymeasures or daily examinations; some kindergartens initiated thesemeasures by themselves. Administration of one of the kindergartenseven used cunning: they prepared garlic necklaces for children and kids are happy to wear this. Fortunately, garlic didn't still rise in price, while some drugs did(10 tablets for 15 thousand dram, it is about $39).

Please allow to make a tasteless and smelly joke. Why do Italians dont catch the flu?Because no one will allow them to get close enough, as their basic cuisine is alia olio(garlic and oil) and pasta fazoul. ** No wonder their airline is named "Al-it-ALIA" http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/aglio-e-olio-recipe/index.htmlMy great aunt, born in Marash, married into Marseille once told us that during WW! The medics only weapon was garlic as they discovered that the only survivors of the days epidemics like typhus was those who ate garlic.** Btw. The correct Italian phrase is pasta fagioli/fazioli like in fasoulia. Some of us know it as lobi lubia. And, I thought lobby was the anteroom of a hotel or state capitol where all propaganda/gaka is spread.

Arpa Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) Above we used "Garlic Necklace" as a title. Maybe we should have said "Garlic Garland" Source URL: http://armenianow.com/hy/node/19865http://armenianow.com/hy/social/health/19866/home_remedy_garlic_gets_pricier_as_fluscared_armenians_resort_to_natural_means_of_prophylactics Առողջապահություն | 08.12.09 | 12:24 Home remedy: Garlic gets pricier as flu-scared Armenians resort to natural means of prophylactics Experts say the locally grown garlic preserves all best qualities for flu prophylactics. Սիրանույշ Գևորգյան«ԱրմենիաՆաուի» թղթակից The threat of flu – swine and otherwise -- in Armenia has apparently led people to buy more garlic as an unconventional means of prevention, a situation that sellers have taken advantage of by quickly altering price tags. Garlic is considered to have a certain preventive and even therapeutic effect when used before and during flu and common cold symptoms. Now it has proved to be a cash crop for some Armenian merchants. The normal price of garlic has nearly doubled over last year’s prices as currently a kilo sells at about 1,800-2,000 drams (or up to $5). Sellers say that last year this time a normal garlic price was 800-1,000 drams (or $2-2.60). The price of garlic imported from neighboring Iran, meanwhile, is 1,000-1,500 drams (or about $2.60-3.80). Specialists explain that unlike imported garlic, the locally grown product preserves all best qualities for flu prophylactics. Doctors, too, usually recommend a regular use of garlic, which has a disinfecting effect, as a means to prevent flu and common cold during periods of outbreaks of the diseases. Also, it is believed that garlic has a multiplied remedying effect when used raw. According to foreign media reports, many schools in Russia and China have been encouraging their students to wear so-called garlic necklaces and eat garlic with food that they offer at school canteens. Despite the unpleasant smell, garlic neckwear is not an unusual practice at some Armenian homes either. Gayane Meliksetyan, a seller at a retail market in the Mergelyan Institute area, says that the demand for garlic is high despite its unusually high price. “Yesterday, for example, I had 20 kilos, it all sold out. Now I’ve bought it again to resell,” says Meliksetyan. Gagik Manucharyan, of the Agriculture Ministry, tells ArmeniaNow that the penetration of swine flu into Armenia is one of the major contributing factors to the increase in the price of garlic. “We all know that if something sells well at the market, sellers raise the price at once,” says Manucharyan, who heads the Ministry’s department for plant-growing, forest economy and plant protection.

Arpa Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Above we saw the magic of garlic, now it is the turn of the onion.http://www.armenianow.com/sites/default/files/img/imagecache/600x400/onion_weather.jpg Who knows this nursery rhyme?Տանձ ու խնձոր, կեռաս սալոր Կլոր մլոր կ'երթան իմ փորLet’s rewrite it.Տանձ ու խնձոր, սոխ ու սխտորԿլոր մլոր կ'երթան իմ փոր Step aside all you meteorologists weathermen and your Doppler mopplers.At one time this was our weatherman, the sign of spring;http://www.thekidswindow.co.uk/images/CMScontent/Image/caterpillar.jpg http://www.armenianow.com/features/26029/weather_armenia_winter Features | 23.11.10 | 17:16 Pungent Forecast: Wondering how to prepare for winter? Ask the onion. By Karine IonesyanArmeniaNow reporter Sacrificing tears for their efforts, villagers in Armenia say the coming winter will be a mild one, despite meteorologists’ predictions to the contrary. Forget Doppler radars, global warming, and the rest. The crystal ball for weather forecast is in the Armenian onion. For centuries, peasants have looked to the onion for clues on whether to brace for a freeze or to look forward to saving on firewood, pending what is found in the onion skin. According to folklore, if the onion skin is thick, chilly times are on the way. If thin, milder temperatures will prevail. This year, the autumn crop showed thin-skinned onions. Knarik Vardanyan, an onion-growing resident of Jrarat village, Kotayk province, says she does not need any weather forecast, just an onion. “When the onion skin was thick during recent years, we always had very cold winters, and if it was thin, just the opposite – very warm,” Vardanyan says. Peasants also forecast a warm winter due to a warm November, in which animals have enjoyed continuing to graze fresh foliage. Gagik Surenyan, Head of the Meteorology Department of ‘ArmStateHydromet’ under the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Armenia, does not provide official information for the whole year (nor is it known whether he has held onion consultation). He only reports that December is going to be warm in general, and the first snowfalls are expected only in mid-December. “The temperature will rise by 2°C -3°C (35.6°F-37.4°F) after November 25, as a result of warm currents coming from Iran,” Surenyan told ArmeniaNow. Currently the average temperature in Yerevan is 14°C-16°C(57.2°F-60.8°F) in the afternoon, and -1°C - -2°C(33.8°F-35.6°F) – at night, as for provinces – 8°C - 16°C(46.4°F-60.8°F) in the afternoon, and 1°C - 5°C(33.8°F-41°F) at night.Speaking of Սոխ Գլոխ/Onion Headhttp://comps.fotosearch.com/bigcomps/PXT/PXT019/WE091579.jpg Edited November 24, 2010 by Arpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
