text: | Apples a favorite fruit all over the worldNovember 6, 2012 - Anita HanaburghApples. Don't you just love apples? It's been a tough apple year, but it hasn't affected the apple lovers. This year's apple crop was decimated by an unusually warm early spring, followed by a hard frost and then a dry summer. Nationally, the apple crop is estimated at 8 billion pounds, down from 9.4 billion pounds last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Hail cut the crop in Washington state from what was expected to be a record harvest. Half of the growing apples were wiped out in New York state. Pennsylvania's apple crop had a good year. Still, that didn't erase the apple shortage. Nor does the apple shortage deter buyers. The demand is higher than ever, even with higher prices. Oh, busboy, don't you just love apples? Apples are all over the place. There are quotes about apples ("Don't' upset the apple cart"), cities named after them (the Big Apple), computers identified by them (hello, Steve Jobs), and countries compared to them ("as American as Apple Pie"). Apple production ranks higher in volume than any other fruit in the world. It produces apples for eating, baking, caning, storing. It tastes good with pork yet is great in a salad and cherished for desserts. Its juice is used for cider, mixed with most mixed juices, in canned fruit, and loved by kids all by itself. This time-honored pome grows on every continent, excluding Antarctica. Apples mature in the fall, "falling" from the tree just before maturity. October is the official apple month. Apples are best eaten fresh. They store well but lose quality with time. There are 112 six-ounce apples in a bushel and, with its Apple Dippers, McDonald's is the largest user of apples in the country. The apple is part of the rose family, boasting pale pink blossoms that turn white before falling to the ground. The five pedal flowers compliment the apple's cut core five-pointed star (sections). The apple blossom is the state flower of Arkansas. Guess which state grows the most apples? No, it's not New York but Washington state, and it grows almost twice as many as New York. Which country grows the most apples? Wrong again. It's Russia. And, again, it grows almost twice as many apples as we do. Apples are believed to have originated near the Caspian Sea (and the Garden of Eden). This Adam's temptress contains vitamins A and C and is a great source of potassium. According to Cornell University, the apple's phytochemicals, found primarily in its skin, provide huge antioxidant and anti-cancer benefits. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, keeps cancer at bay and helps prevent tooth decay. There are 10,000 varieties of apples, and the number still is growing. Many varieties, such as the Cortland, were developed by the New York State Agricultural Experimental Station at Geneva, founded more than 125 years ago. The red delicious is the most popular variety and widely sold throughout the country. The honeycrisp is new and much desired because of the sweetness and its explosive crispness. The Macoun has a perfumey taste, not my favorite. The Cortland is the country's best salad apple as it doesn't turn brown quickly when cut and is snow white. It is by far my favorite, with its tart and sweet flavor. The Spigold is a large apple, sweet and crisp, that is great in dessert. For spies, think pies. These varieties were all found at our own Rogers' Family Orchards in Johnstown. The Granny Smith is grown primarily in New Zealand; that's why we get them all year long. The skin is best removed as it is bitter and often oiled to preserve it during the transatlantic journey. There really was a Granny Smith — the apple grew from her pile of discarded apples — and a Johnny Appleseed. Johnny, always barefoot, traveled hundreds of miles, planting seeds and tending orchards. A peculiar man who only slept outside, he left a legacy that still dots the hills of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania. During my youth, I never ate an apple without my mom asking, "What's worse than finding a worm in your apple?" "Finding half of a worm!" I would always laugh in response. I guess some apples don't fall far from the tree. Apples make great dessert. Recipe to come next week! Comments? Readers are welcome to write to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Maca is a root vegetable grown in the Peruvian Andes. It was sacred to the Incas and has been used as a food and medicine in South America for centuries. It is well known for its ability to help enhance strength and endurance; in fact, Incan warriors would often consume maca before long journeys and battles. Today's warriors (athletes) are confirming what history has to say about this incredible superfood.
The Sunfood Difference:
Our maca is grown at high altitudes in areas untouched by pollution, where it's sun-dried and low-temperature processed into a fine, pure powder, ensuring maximum nutrient content. Inferior maca products are grown at lower elevations and processed at higher temperatures. With its purity, Sunfood maca powder has a unique nutty flavor that goes well with sweet or savory dishes.
Manufacturer | Sunfood |
Recommended Usage | We deliver maca to you as a dried, raw, organic root powder. You may use a tablespoon or more of this powder in smoothies, teas, nut milks, coffee or just about any natural beverage you can think of. Maca is a great addition to desserts and sweet treats, favorite beverages, protein drinks, nut butters, desserts and raw chocolate creations. Additionally, maca may be added to homemade jams, broths and puddings. |

Class | Supermini |

Chronology | |
Predecessor | Suzuki Cultus |
The Suzuki Swift is a subcompact car produced by Suzuki in Japan since 2000. Prior to this, the "Swift" nameplate had been applied to the Suzuki Cultus in numerous export markets.
Nameplate history[edit]
The Suzuki Swift began as a marketing and manufacturing rebadge of the Suzuki Cultus, a supermini (or subcompact) manufactured and marketed worldwide across three generations and four body configurations—three-door hatchback, four-door sedan, five-door hatchback and two-door convertible—and using the Suzuki G engine family.
The Swift was marketed in the Japanese domestic market (JDM) as the Cultus and elsewhere as the Suzuki Forsa, Suzuki Jazz, Chevrolet Swift, Chevrolet Sprint and Sprint Metro, Geo and Chevrolet Metro, Pontiac Firefly, Maruti 1000, Holden Barina and Subaru Justy. Versions of the second generation Cultus were also produced until 2007 in India and the car remains in production today in Pakistan.

HT51S, HT81S[edit]
The first generation Swift was introduced in 2000 as a replacement for the Suzuki Cultus. Outside of Japan, the "Suzuki Ignis" name was used. Both three- and five-door hatchback body styles were offered, although the three-door was not offered as part of the regular lineup in Japan.
The Swift was powered by a new generation of Suzuki inline-four gasoline engines, the M family. Engine displacements of 1.3 and 1.5-litres were offered, both with a five-speed manual transmission or optional four-speed automatic. The vehicle was available with either front or four-wheel drive. Vehicles fitted with the 1.3-litre engine were designated HT51S, with the 1.5-litre version assigned HT81S.[1]
The shorter three-door body variant formed the basis of the Swift Sport in Japan, or Ignis Sport in export markets. Introduced in 2003, it featured redesigned bumpers, and was fitted with a higher-output version of the 1.5-litre engine. The Sport ceased production in 2005, with the regular Swift models remaining until 2006 for the Japanese market only.
HR51S, HR81S[edit]
In 2001, General Motors introduced the Chevrolet Cruze—a crossover SUV based on the Swift, retaining the original car's basic dimensions and powerplants. The Cruze was restyled, adopting a crossover look between a tall hatchback and a sport utility vehicle, and the three-door body was dropped. The "Chevrolet Cruze" commercial designation was used in Japan, while in Australia the car was sold as the "Holden Cruze" from 2002 to 2006. The 1.3-litre cars were given the model code HR51S, with the 1.5-litre versions coded HR81S.[2][3]
Suzuki in Europe introduced the Cruze modifications as an update of the Ignis in 2003, although extended by 145 millimetres (5.7 in) in length, thus improving interior and luggage dimensions. Due to an agreement with Subaru, this model was also sold throughout Europe in all-wheel drive form as the Subaru Justy from 2003. These Europe-only models were manufactured by Magyar Suzuki in Hungary. Due to the local presence of the Chevrolet-badged model, Suzuki in Japan did not utilise the modifications for a Suzuki-badged model of its own.

The second generation Swift debuted at the Paris Motor Show in September 2004. The design of the new Swift was previewed on the Concept S and Concept S2 concept cars at auto shows, in the years leading up to its launch. This generation of the Swift marked a significant departure with the previous Cultus-based models, with Suzuki redesigning the vehicle as less of a "low price alternative" subcompact and more of a "sporty" subcompact.[5] The Swift's design and driving characteristics focused on the European market with its chassis refined through a road-testing program across Europe.[6]
The second generation Swift has received a four stars out of five rating in the Euro NCAP crash tests.[7] It also was awarded 2006 Semperit Irish Car of the Year in Ireland.
Since its global launch in 2005, which was kicked off with a marketing campaign fronted by the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo in many European countries, the Swift has recorded above forecast sales in most markets. In Japan, sales figures have been twice the forecast and in many European markets the model has been a runaway success.
The Swift was available with 1.3- and 1.5-litre petrol engines, rated at 92 metric horsepower (68 kW; 91 hp) and 102 metric horsepower (75 kW; 101 hp), respectively. It was produced in Hungary, India, Japan, Pakistan and by Chang'an Motors in China. In China and Japan, only the five-door body is available, and four-wheel drive is an option for the 1.3- and 1.5-litre petrol engines. A 1.2-litre engine fitted with an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) transmission was offered as in front-wheel drive only. In Europe, the Swift was launched in three- or five-door hatchback forms, with 1.3- and 1.5-litre petrol engines, and a 1.3-litre DDiS engine supplied by Fiat. The 1.3 petrol is also available with an automated manual transmission or with four-wheel drive. Both the 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre petrol models are available with four-wheel drive, and hold the chassis numbers, ZD11S and ZD21S.
In October 2005, Suzuki launched the Sport version of the new Swift in Japan named SwiftRS, and in September 2006 the model was introduced in most European markets. Named "Swift Sport", it is powered by an enhanced M16A unit, a high-revving 1.6-litre, naturally aspirated DOHC VVT four-cylinder engine with a 11.1:1 compression ratio, high lift cams, forged pistons, and strengthened valve springs. The 1.6-liter engine produces 125 metric horsepower (92 kW; 123 hp) 148 newton metres (109 lb·ft) torque. The Swift Sport features sportier bumpers and spoilers, a stiffer suspension, twin exhaust pipes, red sport seats (with Recaro seats optional) and four-wheel disc brakes on 16-inch wheels. The European Swift Sport features five-speed manual transmission, the three-door body variant, 17-inch wheels (16-inch also available) and electronic stability control (ESC).
The Maruti Suzuki Swift was launched in India in May 2005 with a 1.3-litre petrol engine. Later, in early 2007, Maruti introduced the Swift with a Fiat-sourced 1.3 L DDiS engine. In 2010, due to the new BS IV emission norms, Maruti replaced the 1.3 L petrol engine with a 1.2 L K-series engine. In August 2011, Maruti launched the all-new third-generation Swift, with 1.2 L K-series petrol and 1.3 L DDiS engines. Hence Maruti Suzuki Swift design is derived from the previous Suzuki Swift which was already in foreign market. Maruti Suzuki launched limited edition Swift RS. It is available on the VXi and VDi variants of the hatchback.[8]
- Swift Dzire
Maruti Suzuki launched the Maruti Dzire in India on 26 March 2008. It is a sedan version of the Swift hatchback. It replaced the long standing Maruti Esteem and shared its engines with the hatchback.
Swift DZire is a result of an indigenous project started in 2005 to design a three-box notchback version of the Swift hatchback. Some changes have been made to the car's overall styling to seamlessly integrate the boot. The wheelbase remains the same. The car weighs about 30–35 kilograms (66–77 lb) more than the hatchback. Few modifications in the rear suspension have been done to cope with the additional weight of the boot and improve the ride quality for the rear passengers. Adjustments in the rear seat inclination have been made to improve the rear seat comfort and legroom. In February 2012, Maruti launched the new Swift Dzire, which is based on the third-generation Swift. Unlike the previous generation, it is a compact sedan under 4000 mm. It shares its engines with the hatchback. Like the previous car, changes to the suspension have been made. It also has two-tone beige and black interiors, unlike the hatchback's all-black interiors. Maruti Suzuki in India launched the second generation of its sedan Maruti Swift Dzire on 1 February 2012.
Plug-in hybrid[edit]
The Suzuki Swift Plug-in Hybrid concept car was unveiled at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show. The Swift Plug-in concept has an all-electric range of about 30 km (19 mi) drawing on a lithium-ion battery pack. When the battery is running low a small 0.66 L engine kicks in to power a generator that charges the battery.[9][10][11]
In May 2010 Suzuki announced a demonstration program with 60 Swift Plug-in hybrids in Japan scheduled to start by late 2010.[9][12] Sales of the Suzuki Swift plug-in hybrid electric vehicle are scheduled to begin by 2013.[11]
The plug-in car is powered by a 55 kW, 180 N·m AC synchronous motor and a 2.66 kWh Li-ion battery pack. Average fuel consumption, calculated by combining fuel consumption during operation on electric power from grid charge and fuel consumption during hybrid operation after depletion of the battery pack is 37.6 km/L on the JC08 cycle (88.4 mpg US, or 2.7 L/100 km). Grid charge time for the battery is approximately 1.5 hours @ 100V and 1h at 200V.[9][12]

ZC72S, ZC82S, ZC32S[edit]
The third-generation Swift is being produced at Suzuki's plant in Hungary from where it will be supplied across Europe. The new car has its wheelbase extended by 50 millimeters over the previous second generation and has many visual updates. While the new car looks different from the old one, its design is an evolution of the radical second generation styling with a longer and more rounded appearance. Post-September 2010 Swifts are fitted with a heavily revised version of the K12 engine found in the Suzuki Wagon R+d. In most countries, the 3rd generation of Suzuki Swift uses a 1.4 liter VVT petrol engine (K14B) which produces 95 hp. During September 2010 Suzuki in the United Kingdom released the third generation Swift onto British roads.
The new generation is expected to feature a 1.2 liter VVT petrol engine developing 92 bhp. In some countries, the 3rd generation of Suzuki Swift uses a 1.4 liter VVT petrol engine (K14B) which produces 95 hp.
In Thailand, the Swift is built locally and is part of the Thai government's eco-car program. The car is sold with a CVT automatic transmission on GA, GL and GLX variants; GA and GL variants are also offered with a five-speed manual transmission without anti-lock brakes.[13]
For Malaysia Market was released in 12 July 2013.[14] As for the previous generation, a four-door saloon model was developed for India by Maruti in 2012. This is shorter than the previous generation; now at 3.99 m (157 in) it falls underneath an important tax threshold at four metres of length.[15]
Swift S-Concept[edit]
The Suzuki Swift S-Concept was at the 2011 Australian International Motor Show.[16] The concept car is powered by a 1.6 litre 4-cylinder engine combined with a six-speed manual transmission.[17] At Paris, it was rumored that the next Swift Sport would get a 150-hp (112-kW / 152-PS), a 22 percent increase over the 2010 model. Riding on 18-inch wheels, the car now features a large rear wing, new headlights and rear lighting clusters. It has also been brought closer to the ground. Inside, designers included bucket seats, a new steering wheel, different instrumentation and carbon fiber trim.
Swift Sport (2012-present) (ZC32S)[edit]
The 2012 Suzuki Swift Sport is powered by a 1.6 litre 4-cylinder engine producing 100kW (136 bhp) and 160 Nm torque. The 2012 model comes with the option of a six-speed manual transmission or a high performance CVT transmission with 7-speed manual mode and paddle shifters.[18]
At 3,890mm (153.15 inches), the car is 177mm (6.97 inches) longer than the current MINI Cooper S. It is similarly wider and taller, but its 2,430mm (95.67 inches) wheelbase is 36mm (1.41 inches) shorter than the Cooper. Riding on light weight 17-inch alloys, the car now features a rear spoiler, a large front grille, body kit, new HID headlights and rear lighting clusters. It has also been brought closer to the ground. Inside, designers included bucket seats, a new steering wheel, different instrumentation and sporty red stitching.
Swift Sport SZ-R[edit]
In the United Kingdom Suzuki has released another special edition of the Swift, the SZ-R, with a list price of £14,249 and limited to just 100 units. The SZ-R has a 136HP VVT engine and is capable of doing 0 to 62 mph in 8.7 seconds, and reaching a top speed of 121 mph, while returning 44 mpg. It is equipped with seven airbags, auto air conditioning, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity and USB port, rear privacy glass and 17-inch wheels.[19]
2013 update[edit]
For 2013, Suzuki updated the Swift with some minor cosmetic changes such as a revised front bumper, L-shaped LED daytime running lights on the foglamp housings, fresh 16-inch wheels, LED-type high-level brake lamp and new seat fabric design.[20]
For the Japanese market, it features Suzuki's newly developed DUAL JET ENGINE as well as Suzuki's ENE-CHARGE system and ECO-COOL, implemented from the Suzuki Wagon R. The new DUAL JET ENGINE uses the dual injection system on its 1.2L petrol engine and it works by increasing vaporization, making combustion more efficient. It channels fuel to two intake ports instead of only one per cylinder.
With the DUAL JET ENGINE and the ENE-CHARGE, fuel economy is now up to 26.4 km/L, calculated based on JC08 mode.[21]
In 2009 Peter Scott won the Suzuki Swift Cup, the junior swift cup and the British Rally Championship R1 class.[22]

With the bitter cold of winter on the horizon, a West Side church is quickly running out of funds to continue offering food and shelter to the needy.
"I am grasping at straws," said Jess Inclenrock, senior pastor of Harvest Time Church of God. "I am hoping the shelter will survive."
The church at 1704 Washington St. W. offers lunch and dinner to anyone who is hungry with no questions asked. More than 100 meals are served each day. For those with nowhere to go, overnight shelter is available with as many as 30 people sleeping there on any given night.
The church has been helping the needy with food and clothing since 2005 and the shelter has been in place since 2008, he said.
Inclenrock said God placed in his heart a mission to open a shelter in the wake of a tragedy that still lingers on his mind.
A man named Billy once stopped at the church on a regular basis to eat but he slept beneath a bridge.
On an icy cold night, Inclenrock suggested Billy spend the night inside the church. Billy said he had been drinking and declined to sleep in a house of worship in that condition. The pastor was unable to convince him otherwise.
Inclenrock went to check on Billy the following morning and saw police cars on the scene where Billy had frozen to death beneath the bridge.
Inclenrock was heartbroken. "We had become friends."
In a quest to help others, the shelter opened at the church where the homeless and those down on their luck have found assistance over the last five years.
Food is collected through individual donations as well as from a food bank. But the real issue is the cost of skyrocketing utility bills for electricity and water.
The economy has a taken a toll on many people who were once able to give more. Some who once donated are now receiving services themselves.

It's time we had a national debate about this issue. More enlightened countries have discarded the baseless stereotypes about young people and have embraced a more inclusive and diverse model for political participation. We should do the same.

text: Earlier this week Iran drew additional ire from the US when an Iranian court sentenced an American-Iranian pastor to eight years in prison [JURIST report] for threatening national security through his leadership in Christian house churches. Earlier this month Iranian lawyer and prominent human rights activist Nasrin Sotoudeh [JURIST news archive] was temporarily released after spending over two years in prison [JURIST report] in Tehran for her September 2010 conviction for propaganda and harming national security. Iranian authorities pursued Sotoudeh because she represented political activists and sought to highlight the execution of juveniles in the country. Last month Argentina sentenced former Interior Minister Jaime Smart to life in prison for crimes against humanity [JURIST report] during the nation's 1976-1983 "Dirty War" [GlobalSecurity backgrounder; JURIST news archive]. In July Argentina's Poder Judicial de la Nacion sentenced two former Argentine dictators [JURIST report] to a total of 65 years in prison for their involvement in the systematic kidnapping of babies from leftist activists detained and killed during the "Dirty War."

Add Video Files > Vista > Faculty Support
These instructions will come in handy if you had Media Productions convert or compress video files for you.
Click on the link provided to you from Media Production to download the zip files containing your video clips.
You will be directed to a web page that looks like this:
Click on the zip file(s), one at a time, to download them and save them to your computer.
Note: Be sure to save the zip files to your computer and not to open them. You do not need to unzip the files until you have uploaded them to your FerrisConnect course.
Once you have the zip files saved to your computer, log into the FerrisConnect course where you want to add the videos.
Click on the Build tab in your course, and then click on File Manager.
Then click on Get Files.
When the Content Browser window pops up, click on My Computer.
Then find on your computer for where you saved the zip files. If you have more than one, you can upload them at the same time by holding down the Ctrl (Control) key and clicking on each file. Once you have the files selected, click Open.
If you have multiple zip files, you will have to extract them one at a time. To extract a zip file, click on the action link next to the name of the file, and select Extract.
FerrisConnect will extract the files into a folder with the name of the file, followed by the word folder. It's a good idea to rename that folder and remove any spaces in the name. To rename the folder, click on the action link next to the name of the folder, and select rename.
Edit the folder name, and then click OK.
Now, staying on the build tab, go to the place in your course where you would like to add the video files, this could be the homepage, a folder, or a learning module. Then, click on Add file, browse for files, and find the html file within the folder containing the video files. Check the box next to the html file to select it and add it to your course.
You are all set! You will have to repeat step 11 for each video you need to add. Then, click on the Teach or Student View tab to check the links and ensure that the video plays.
Finally, remember to delete the original zip files from your course. Once you unzip the files you do not need to keep the zip files – it simply takes up more space on the server. To delete the files, go back to the Build tab, click on File Manager, and click on the action link next to the zip file, and select delete.
