As part of our new #MotherCulture campaign, we're interviewing moms all month for their inspiring takes on healthy motherhood. Moms have one of the toughest jobs in the world and we at Lifeway applaud you for all that you do to make our world a happier, healthier place!
Mom: Rebecca Scritchfield, Washington, DC, 37, mom to a 19-month-old daughter and a newborn baby girl.
As a registered dietitian, people might assume that healthy eating is a snap. But the truth is, being a member of the #MotherCulture leaves you with almost zero time to care for yourself. How do you make sure you're feeding your body well?
For me, when I'm the only one eating, I have to make sure I'm putting some effort in. Otherwise, it's too easy to just pop in a frozen meal or eat a bowl of cereal for lunch, and if I've already had cereal for breakfast, that makes it almost impossible to get all of your nutrients for the day. So I try to balance grabbing something quick with grabbing something healthy. There's no time to make egg salad from scratch, so I'll buy some egg salad from the grocery store along with some bagged salad greens. Or I'll make a smoothie for lunch, with lots of fruit and dairy for protein. Moms need to remember that their time is worth a healthy meal, too.
Have you had any challenges in terms of encouraging your toddler to eat healthy foods?
One of my biggest challenges has been being flexible with changes in her appetite and food preferences. One day, she loves blueberries; the next day, she's off of blueberries and only wants raspberries. Then, on other days, she doesn't want any fruit at all. That's normal. Some days, I don't want fruit either! With veggies, raw leafy greens are so nutritious and they're easy for older kids and adults to eat but harder for kids, so we'll do peas, corn, cooked carrots. I'm always trying to add in nutrition – if I make her mac and cheese, I'll add in small pieces of broccoli and cooed chicken to make her plate more balanced. Even if she picks around it, I've done my part. Or if I cook her eggs in the morning, I'll add in avocado with fruit on side.
So many myths are out there about exercising while pregnant. Did you continued to workout through your pregnancies?
Absolutely. I take a 50-minute strength training class two or three times a week, and it's kind of like Pilates on steroids. I ran two to three times per week for anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. Sometimes it starts with a 20-minute walk but then something clicks in my body and I feel ready to start jogging and by the end, I'm like, "Where is this energy coming from?!" because I feel so good. And I tried to take 10 minutes a day to practice calm, relaxed breathing, where I lay down, breathed in lavender oil and touched my belly. It was for stress management and relaxation, and those skills can be utilized during delivery.
You are all about promoting "Me first" time, encouraging women to take time to care for themselves – a crucial but often overlooked part of #MotherCulture. What are so ways moms can remember to put themselves first?
Prenatal massages are wonderful, plus your baby benefits from the positive effects of touch. If massages are too expensive, try a warm bath with some lavender oil, ask your partner for a foot massage or get a spa pedicure.
What inspires you most as a mom?
That I have an opportunity to help shape another person's life, to continue on another generation. I've inspired clients and coworkers before, and those are great accomplishments, but it's different than shaping your child's health and life. That's motivating, and it keeps me going day to day.
You can't beat beets when it comes to pretty summer vegetables. Their color is magnificent and stands front and center in this healthy dip recipe. The sunflower seeds add some nutty flavor and a splash of kefir and orange juice brighten things up.
This dip would also make a great addition to a veggie wrap or spread on some hearty whole grain bread with goat cheese for a more grown up version of a pb&j – another classic sweet and salty combo!
½ cup Lifeway Lowfat Plain Kefir
¼ cup sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 clove garlic, minced
Combine all ingredients together in a food processor and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Serve with pita, crackers, or sliced veggies.
This week, we're chatting with Katrina Markoff, renowned chocolatier and founder of Vosges Haut-Chocolat.
Mom: Katrina Markoff, Barrington Hills, IL, 41, mom to two boys ages 4.5 and 1.5
What's one of your favorite parts about being a mom?
The stories they tell me. The other night we had "tea" together – my older son set out peppermint tea, cookies, chocolate. He was telling me all sorts of stories that gave me some insight into what he thinks about, and listening to his mind work is one of my favorite things ever.
As a culinary artist and chocolatier, taste is obviously critical to your livelihood. How do you get your kids interested in eating healthy when kids today are surrounded by junk food that, admittedly, often tastes delicious?
I've found that if you offer your kids the healthier choices early on, they'll love it – mainly because they don't know any different. So if I give them chocolate, I give them 72% cocoa dark chocolate, which is good for you, and they love it.
I mostly repare meals based off of olive oil, quinoa and other whole grains, roasted veggies, grilled fish and meat. We do a ton of cooking from scratch and we make our own applesauce, kale chips, that sort of thing, and I'll get Rowan [our older son] involved. He cracks eggs, helps me set the table. And anytime he wants to make something, I'll do it, because I love the idea of creation and want him to realize that he can do anything.
We don't eat a lot of gluten in our house, so I pulverize oats in blender to make a substitute flour. And I'm not opposed to treats, but if we make cookies, I'll throw in Chia seeds, maca, or spirulina to give them a superfood punch.
Do you ever use kefir in cooking of recipe development?
Sometimes I'll use it with my pancake mix – it acts like buttermilk. But mostly we drink it cold in smoothies.
Part of #MotherCulture involves asking people to think about what inspires them, much like kefir's actual mother culture creates the tangy drink we all know and love. Where do you look to for inspiration?
Many of my chocolate ideas come from travelling. Right now, I'm obsessed w Peru, home of some of most unique, interesting superfoods. I have trips coming up to Israel, France, Bali, Mexico and Peru and can't wait to see what I discover. My favorite way to cook is in the Lebanese/Turkish/Moroccan style – lots of cumin, paprika, cinnamon, harissa. If I had to pick one favorite spice, it would be cumin. We do a lot of smelling in our house: I'll ask my kids to smell different spices and guess what they are. I ask them to smell the leather purse, to smell the paper bag. When you're familiar with a large range of scents, it allows you to be more present in everyday life; it really gets you in your body.

As part of our new #MotherCulture campaign, we're interviewing moms all month for their inspiring takes on healthy motherhood. Moms have one of the toughest jobs in the world and we at Lifeway applaud you for all that you do to make our world a happier, healthier place!
Mom: Sarah Goldman, 33, Los Angeles, mom to two daughters, age five and three
What was one of the most surprising parts of becoming a mom?
How many physical ailments they complain about from day to day: "My leg hurts," "My tummy hurts," "My hair hurts," "I can't get in the bathtub because my boo boo might hurt," "I have to poop," "I ate too much," "Can I have a vitamin?" I have to play doctor and diagnostician constantly. It's like you need a medical degree just to function as a mother!
That's hysterical! And so true. How about one of the happiest parts of being a mom?
Watching them learn is incredible. Watching our older daughter figure out how to read has been joyous and rewarding. They work so hard – first they learn their letters, then their name, and now she just finished reading a 50-page book, Little Bear, over the course of three days. It was amazing! My husband and I just looked at each other and smiled.
One unfortunate part of the current culture of motherhood is the war between working moms and stay at home mom. Do you ever feel pressure to defend your decision as a SAHM?
There's definitely a war, and we all face different pressures, as well as some similar ones. As a SAHM, I feel like my house should be perfectly spotless. I play the role of personal chef, doctor, chauffeur, personal shopper, cleaning person, event coordinator, party planner and housekeeper. In the beginning stages [of infancy and toddlerhood], I think SAHMs have it harder – I was home all day 24/7 with these crazy kids. There's a lot of burnout. My friends who worked, they got to leave that insanity. But by the time the kids are in school, I'd say SAHMs don't have it as hard as working moms. I have time to run errands and go grocery shopping while the kids are in school, and working mothers don't have that luxury.
You're passionate about cooking for your family – any tips?
I've found a nice system of grocery shopping: I make sure to do most of my shopping at a natural foods store so I don't have to work as hard - even if I don't read every label, I still come out ahead because everything is organic or at least local, less processed, non-GMO. Another tip is to make extra food for dinner on Monday so you have enough for leftovers on Tuesday, and maybe just add a steamed veggie. Then do the same thing when you cook on Wednesday night and have leftovers for Thursday.
We also try to integrate healthy eating into fun family activities – we might go blueberry picking, beet picking; when they actually get to pick the lettuce out of the ground, that makes them want to eat the lettuce. And we visit the farmer's market every weekend.
If we were to open your refrigerator, would we find Lifeway kefir?
Absolutely! I buy it in the large bottles and then I pour elderberry syrup into it – it makes the kefir turn pink, which the kids love, plus it's healthy and immune boosting.
This summer, Lifeway is cooking, baking, and blending our favorite summer treats with our favorite probiotic kefir. Full of the good bugs that keep bellies happy year round, our summer recipes are keeping things fresh and fermented. If you're itching to get in the kitchen, try one of our Bugs Bites for a refreshing take on some summertime classics.
Strawberry shortcake is a perfect summertime dessert. A quick biscuit, a sprinkle of sugar, and a creamy topping transform a simple berry into a towering treat.
The biscuits we like to use to build our strawberry shortcakes are light and crumbly instead of flaky and crisp, no match for our eager forks. This is not a biscuit sandwich you can pick up and eat with your hands. A pale color visually lightens the dessert up, too, but if you prefer a more toasty look, you can brush the biscuits with a little egg wash (1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon water) before baking. Like buttermilk, kefir's tangy bite helps the biscuits rise and stay light and airy.
If you don't keep heavy cream around to whip up, a little probiotic Lifeway Farmer Cheese is a delicious and nutritious replacement for a creamy topping. If your local grocer doesn't carry this tangy, spoonable delight, you can substitute ricotta.

Lifeway's hometown of Chicago has a lot of great summer festivals: Lollapalooza, Pitchfork, and many more musical mashups pop up all over the city to turn up the noise as the temperature rises outside. But the city gets hungry, too, and one of our most famous, longstanding traditions is the Taste of Chicago. Vendors from all over the city congregate in Grant Park to sample bite-sized portions of their famous fares to fans from near and far.
This year, Lifeway's Starfruit Kefir Truck will be at the Taste of Chicago, July 9-13 in the food truck village! Admission is free and our bitty bites will be on sale at a special Taste of Chicago price.
You can also catch the Kefir Truck anytime you're in Chicago by following @StarfruitCafe on Twitter!
Brunch season is upon us. We're dining al fresco, mixing savory and sweet in the same meal with reckless abandon, celebrating mothers, fathers, grads, and all other rad spring events.
If you find yourself in the kitchen, tasked with making brunch, and out of milk, have no fear. Lifeway Kefir is a great in many recipes that call for milk, buttermilk, yogurt or sour cream. If you want to start your kefir cooking experimentation with a tested recipe, we've got your covered there, too. Here are a few of our favorite brunch recipes with a tart & tangy twist.
Kefir Apple Pancakes with Burnt Sugar Sauce
Breakfast Baked Eggs
Grapefruit Kefir Granita
Lightened Up Lemon Kefir Cake
Birchir Meusli
Kefir Challah French Toast
Raspberry Chocolate Chip Kefir Scones
Kefir Overnight Oats
I didn't grow up running. But my family was always active. We'd go skiing together on the weekends— a tradition my mom started with her parents as a little girl. I'd throw the baseball in the front yard with my dad after dinner. We rode bikes and rollerbladed together. It was just a way of life for us.
Do you find that contributing to charitable causes helps you stick to your fitness routine? What else keeps you motivated to get moving?
For me, running is about storytelling. Maybe not through words, but through action. When I started running marathons, it was a way for me to express my commitment to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease (in honor of my grandfather). But as I got more into it, I became even more inspired by other runners' stories. I remember being at the starting line of my first marathon: Chicago, 2002. Looking around at the 20,000 other runners, I could see that each one had a story on their face. And each story was about to change over the course of the next 26.2 miles. I was (and am) honored to share in these stories. This is what really motivates me.
Do you have any Mother's Day traditions in your family?
We usually have some kind of brunch with my Mom in the morning and then go to my aunt's house for a barbecue in the afternoon. When I was younger, my cousins and I would play roller hockey all afternoon. In the last few years, my mom and I have rented bikes in New York City and rode around Central Park or down the Hudson River Greenway.
For folks who are new to a daily exercise regimen, or those who really just like to push themselves to exhaustion, what would you recommend in terms of a refreshing, high protein snack to have after working out?
Lifeway Kefir, of course! I like mine with fresh blueberries, raspberries and blackberries :)

Understanding the past to change the future
Frances Berry, Nash visit UB, change my perspective
Wednesday night, I had the opportunity to photograph Mary Frances Berry and Diane Nash, who came to UB as part of the Distinguished Speakers Series. Before the event, I met and photographed them while Spectrum editor Sam Fernando conducted an interview.
To be entirely honest, I did not know anything about the two women going into the interview. All I knew was that Berry and Nash played pivotal roles in the Civil Rights Movement.
During the interview, I started to sense just how important these two women are - not just to American history, but to world history. Berry and Nash both worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr. and multiple U.S. presidents. Nash was so close to King that she and her former husband went on a "double date" with him and his wife in the Bahamas.
I was honoredto be sitting in the same room as these two influential women. How many people alive today can actually say they knew King well enough to share dinner with him? For me, it was difficult to comprehend.
As I was walking out of the Center For the Arts after they spoke, I had a conversation with Sam. We talked about how, today, we do not see King as an actual living human being. We see him as the world-changing, iconic figure who lost his life while fighting for civil rights - not as a man who enjoyed his dinner with close friends.
Berry and Nash both gave thought-provoking speeches, but what captivated me the most happened during their question-and-answer session.
"Today, we no longer have a government of the people, by the people and for the people," Nash said in response to a question that moderator Athena Mutua, a law professor, posed. "We have a government of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations."
Many in the auditorium clapped and cheered; it showed that Nash's statement was felt throughout the room.
We can see the issue of corporations taking control of industries throughout America. I notice that many of my peers, myself included, are not as informed as we should be about the problem. And I think many just don't care.
Money is what runs America. In Washington, D.C., there are lobbyists offering members of Congress monetary incentives to back their companies. Many times, whichever company is willing to pay the most wins in America.
The most upsetting part of the evening was that, while Nash was explaining her statement, a good percentage of the crowd was on their cellphones. Some even got up and left as the speakers were talking.
Nash was right when she said Americans don't feel like they have the power to create large-scale changes - she adamantly believes we do have that power.
I feel it goes deeper than that. I think we don't care anymore, which is telling in the fact that a number of people in the crowd were distracted by their tiny glowing screens.
It is one thing to have your phone out in the presence of an entertainer, but it is disrespectful and classless to treat two vital figures the way some audience members did.
Back in the 1960s, people like Nash and Berry truly believed in the cause they were fighting for - some were jailed and some even lost their lives. Nash and Berry were two of hundreds of thousands of faces in the crowd fighting peacefully during the Civil Rights Movement.
Nowadays, Americans still believe in these causes, but the effort is not there for many of us. Sure, we are all for the support of many causes. But it is only when we come together and actually do something for a cause that we will actually see change.
Nash said that we cannot expect legislators to impart change. In order to have an impact, the public must spark the transformation.
Having to put physical and mental effort into a challenge can be very taxing. If supporting something in the world only involved tweeting our opinions, we would accomplish a lot. But, unfortunately for most of us, it doesn't.
A lot more is required to accomplish anything in civil rights. That is why the gay rights movement has been extremely successful in the past couple decades. Berry even said she did not think the gay rights movement would have taken off as rapidly as it has if it weren't for people mobilizing. Lawmakers may create legislation, but social change is what leads to legal change.
In order to accomplish anything you truly believe in, you must use all of your effort. Social media is a great way for people to interact and share ideas, but it cannot achieve everything.
The only way to see actual change is for people to not only care about the issues that plague society, but to start acting on them.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

Until 11 Jan 15, National Portrait Gallery (NPG), Washington, DC, USA
In 1975, the American poet John Ashbery published a short book titled Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror. The name was borrowed from a Parmigianino picture painted around 1524 that Ashbery took as the central theme of the book's title poem. Ashbery later called his piece a "Mannerist work", much like the art of the 16th-century painter, but also admitted some more contemporary influences: "the Abstract Expressionist idea that the work is a sort of record of its own coming-into-existence" had "rubbed off" on the writer.
It also rubbed off on...

HOOVER, Ala.'ÄîGreetings from Day 2 of SEC Medi. …Make that Johnny Manziel Media Day.
Yep. The Texas A&M quarterback will meet the press.
No, David Gregory isn't here (at least as far as I know). Neither is Chris Wallace.
Manziel will presumably answer why he got shown the door (or left) the Manning Passing Academy.
And his other issues this offseason since striking a pose in New York with the Heisman.
Think Kentucky first-year coach Mark Stoops is pumped to follow Manziel in the big media room here at the Wynfrey Hotel?
Thanks to expansion last year, this again is the busiest days of Media Days with a whopping six teams hitting the scene.
Other coaches on hand today: Mississippi State's Dan Mullen, Tennessee's Butch Jones and (after a lunch break) Auburn's Gus Malzahn and Arkansas' Bret Bielema.
Lots of new SEC coaches on the block today.
Manziel is here! Manziel is here!
He's hanging out by the SEC set before going on the air. Reporters are crowded around the back of the stage in the Wynfrey Hotel lobby, making it looks something like a College GameDay set.
"Just another day," Manziel said before going on air.
Meanwhile at the same time, SEC coordinator of officals Steve Shaw called the new "targeting" rule, the most significant of his tenure.
Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin's first question was on guess who.
It dealt with Manziel on and off the field.
'ÄúI think that obviously he has done an exceptional job," Sumlin said. "Otherwise, the nation'Äôs spoke. The writers'Äô spoke (with the Heisman). Off the field, there'Äôs no question he'Äôs made some mistakes. Today will be a great experience for him. A great experience for a lot of people because he has made some mistakes. We'Äôve had discussions about that. The way we view things it'Äôs like having kids. 'ĶHow we handle things are in-house. He has done some things that he'Äôs not very proud of and has made some poor decisions. He'Äôs made some good decisions. Unfortunately, the poor decisions are ones that are publicized. It'Äôs a growing process.'Äù
Manziel handled himself about as well as could be expected in more than 30 minutes with reporters in the big room.
He stayed for the duration and answered all questions that came his way.
On attention and criticism"I wouldn't say fair or unfair. At times it's blown a little bit a little bit out of proportion. At the end of the day, I hope people still see that I'm a 20-year old kid in college. I'm just trying to enjoy my life. Hopefully that doesn't upset too many people. I'm continuing to learn as the days and the weeks go on. I've made my mistakes obviously. I'll continue to learn from them and not make the same one twice."
On his offseason: "We worked so hard last year. I think we deserved to have a little bit of fun this offseason. Some people did it in different shapes or form."
On what happened at the Manning Camp: "It wasn't football-related. I was tired. It was exhausting. It had nothing to do with activities the night before. It had nothing to do with anything involved with the Manning camp. Just a really busy schedule for the month of June and July."
On if he was told to pack his bags at Manning Camp: 'ÄúI was not asked to leave. It was a mutual decision. I wanted to be there but at the end of the day I was pretty tired and wanted to get back to College Station and just relax. …The speculation of me being too hungover or whatever it was to show up for meetings and the next day and that'Äôs the reason I missed were absolutely incorrect.'Äù
How soon they forget.
Two-time SEC East division champion Georgia didn't get a mention from new Kentucky coach Mark Stoops when he was asked about how he sees the SEC East shaping up.
"In our side of the division, certainly you have to look at Florida and South Carolina, expect (them) to be very good. Shoot, we're just worried about ourselves to be honest with you. We have so much work to do. All the teams in the league are good. We all know that."
Former Georgia defensive assistants John Jancek and Willie Martinez are now coaching in the SEC East for Tennessee.
Jancek is the coordinator now and Martinez coaches the defensive backs.
Martinez was defensive coordinator at Georgia from 2005-09 and Jancek was linebackers coach. Both were fired after the 2009 regular season.
"One of the things is, of putting the staff together, I wanted individuals who understood what it was to recruit and compete at a high level in the SEC," Volunteers first-year coach Butch Jones said. "So these individuals have brought a lot to the table. Obviously, Willie being a former defensive coordinator in the conference, having great success at Georgia. John being a co-defensive coordinator at Georgia, as well."
The last coach of the day was the best in terms of entertaining the room.
That seems to be the consensus of Arkansas' Bret Bielema, the former Wisconsin coach.
He shot back at Auburn's Gus Malzahn, who dismissed the notion that no-huddle offenses can be a safety issue.
'ÄúHe thought it was a joke?" Bielema asked. "I'Äôm not a comedian. Everything I say is what I believed in.'Äù
Bielema actually had the room laughing, particularly when he mentioned that a reporter in the front row after the sixth and final coach of the day appearing was nodding off.
