‘Obi Hayot’: Better Drinking Water

A new program of centralised water supply in the countryside is being carried out in

the republic. During the realisation of the previous program 7,400 kilometres of water

supplies were built in rural areas. The new program calls for the construction of more

than 9,500 kilometres. Its financing will be both from centralised sources, and from the

farms themselves, and credits from banks and investors. Specialized organisations in

the system of the Ministry of Agriculture are trying to improve the quality of drinking wa-

ter. The joint-stock company ‘Obi Hayot’ has established direct contacts with companies

in Germany, Japan and other states. Their aim is together to develop new technology

for water supply. They promise that the new pipelines will improve the taste of the water

they will supply too!​

It is winter now and it is often cold. I really can't stand the cold. So sometime ago I suddenly fell ill. I had a high temperature, a running nose and a sore throat. I also had a splitting headache and a cough. My whole body was aching. My mother fixed me a hot lemonade but that didn't help me much. She wanted to give me some aspirin too, but there wasn't any at home. My mother told me to stay in bed and called a doctor. The doctor came, took off his coat and put on his white gown.  

The doctor asked me to strip to the waist. He examined my lungs and throat, took my pulse and temperature, measured my blood pressure. Finally he said that it was a light case of flu and told me to stay in bed and have complete rest. He wrote a prescription for some gargle and cough medicine. He also gave me some sulfa pills, a slip for X-Ray and blood examination. He recommended to apply glass-cups and mustard plasters. I followed all the doctor's instructions and very soon I felt much better. I fully recovered in ten days and

How to make muffins
Ingredients

2 medium eggs
125ml vegetable oil
250ml semi-skimmed milk
200g golden caster sugar
400g self-raising flour (or same quantity plain flour and 3 tsp baking powder)
1 tsp salt
100g chocolate chips (see tip) or dried fruit such as sultanas or dried cherries (optional)
Method

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 2 muffin trays with paper muffin cases. In a large bowl beat the eggs lightly with a handheld electric mixer for 1 min. Add the oil and milk and beat until just combined then add the sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter. Sift in the flour and salt (and baking powder if using) then mix until just smooth. Be careful not to over-mix the batter as this will make the muffins tough. Stir in the chocolate chips or dried fruit if using.
Fill muffin cases two-thirds full and bake for 20-25 mins, until risen, firm to the touch and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. If the trays will not fit on 1 shelf, swap the shelves around after 15 mins of cooking. Leave the muffins in the tin to cool for a few mins and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
