When winter rolls around every year, a part of me wishes I could lock myself and my family in our house and hibernate until cold and flu season is over. But let's be honest, we would go crazy in just one day!
While avoiding the world for 3 months may not be a realistic solution, there are some actual ways that can help you survive and boost your immune system!
And you know what's even better? Several of these steps include delicious smoothies that are part of my free smoothie eBook! You heard me right, you can give your body the fighting powers it needs during this time of the year with smoothies!
I've put together a list of 5 steps that can help to boost your body's immune system and fight back against those winter germs and viruses. The best part is these are all things you can start doing today!

Smoothies are a great way to squeeze in all those immune boosting fruits and veggies into your crazy schedule. My recipes will also help you loose a few pounds while your at it!
The Healthier, the Better
A healthy diet is more than just eating leafy greens. There are three main food categories you should incorporate into your diet everyday, especially to build up your immune system and keep your body strong and balanced!
No surprise here, but it's true that we need to eat vegetables every day! I for one have to constantly remind my kids to eat them, and now I'm reminding all of you too! 🙂
We hear all the time that vegetables are important, but do we know why? Especially why they help our immune system? Well here's why!
Vegetables are low in calories and fat, contain no cholesterol, and are rich in nutrients such as potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and fiber. The US government recommends eating 3-5 servings of vegetables a day, which is about one cup of raw leafy vegetables or 1/2 cup of any others. It's that simple!
Adding more veggies into your daily diet will lower your risk for heart disease and stroke will lower your blood pressure, and will help you lose weight!
Not to mention, getting the recommended amounts of veggies will strengthen your immune system. These are all great reasons to add more vegetables to your plate, don't you think?
Fruits are another important type of food to add into your daily diet, but you need to make sure you are eating the recommended amount!
On average, an adult should have about two cups of fruit a day. A cup is the size of a small apple or about 8 strawberries.
So why is it important to eat fruits? They are naturally low in fat, calories, sodium, and contain no cholesterol. If that isn't enough to convince you, they are also rich with nutrients like fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and folate. These are all great nutrients to help boost your immune system.
Adding the recommended amounts of fruit to your diet will lower your risk for heart disease stroke, and diabetes. Also, eating fruits will help your body fight against germs. There's a lot of power packed into those juicy little fruits!
Whole Grains
Do you know the difference between whole grains and refined grains?
Whole grains are literally that, the whole grain kernel – the bran, germ, and endosperm. Sounds way more complicated than it actually is! Think of oats, for instance, or a grain of brown rice. These are the whole kernel of that type of grain.
Refined grains are whole grains that have been milled, a process which removes the bran and the germ. This process also removes the fiber, iron, and B vitamins as well, which is why whole grains is recommended over refined. Examples of refined grains are white bread, white rice, and white flour.
The recommended amount of whole grains per day is six servings. A serving can be a slice of whole grain bread, a cup of whole grain Cheerios, or 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice. It's that easy to add whole grains into your daily diet routine.
Eating whole grains will lower your cholesterol, your blood pressure, and with all that extra fiber they will help you lose weight. And of course, the iron that you get by going whole grain instead of refined will help to boost your immune system. Talk about a bonus.
Exercise on the Regular
There is a reason we are told over and over again how beneficial it is to work out regularly, and it's more than just losing weight.
New research is conducted every day in regards to the benefits that daily exercise has on the body and how it functions, it's undeniably important!
But why is it important?
When you're struggling one day to get the motivation to hit the gym, think about these benefits: Regular exercise helps your body handle stress, allows you to sleep better, gives you more energy, and may even help you live longer! While these are all fantastic benefits from working out, another major key is giving your body the fighting power to fight sickness!
According to a study reported through BBC, those who exercise regularly were less likely to become sick, or even if they did fall ill it never lasted as long or was as severe as someone who did not work out. Regular exercise is a great way to boost your immune system!
So how great is that? Making it a habit to exercise daily will help you lose weight, and fight against cold and flu season!
Catch Those Zzz's
As a momma of three, sometimes good sleep is hard to come by! It's easy to fill up your day to the brim, even all the way up past bedtime if you're not careful. We all lead busy lives, and sleep seems to be less and less of a priority.
Here's the problem though, we need sleep! And most of us need more sleep than we typically average each night.
A healthy adult needs about eight hours of sleep a night, but when you are sick you need even more. Sleep is so important because it's the time your body can focus its' energy on helping your immune system defend against and fight off infection.
If you skimp on sleep you run the risk of becoming sick, or dragging out the duration of your cold.
So moral of the story? Kick up your feet and catch those Zzz's!
Manage Stress Like a Boss
Life is just stressful.
Busy schedules, work deadlines, events to plan or attend… it all adds up. The worst part is, stress can make you sick.
Stress weakens your immune system because it depletes your antioxidants and levels of vitamin C, which helps your body fight infections. Equally as bad, stress will also stimulate the production of the fat-storage hormone cortisol, which in turn can make you gain weight. Total bummer!
So how do you manage stress and protect yourself from succumbing to the immunity crushing side effects?
In order to protect yourself, you need to learn how to manage stress in order to boost your immune system.
The best defense against stress is rest.
Make sure you are getting plenty of sleep, and resting so your body can recuperate and recharge when it needs to. If you keep pushing yourself, you will get sick! Take the time to slow down and meditate. Your body needs it.
Another alternative to help relieve stress is through exercise and staying active (like I mentioned earlier 😉 ). Doing so will help your body release stress in a healthy way, and also help build up your body's antibodies to fight more effectively against germs and infection.
Yoga is a perfect example, and is something I personally suggest. I use the poses to strengthen my physical body and the breathing techniques to calm my mind, and that has enabled me to develop a stronger ability to fight off stress and remain focused. Try it out some of these poses today, I promise you won't regret it!
Hold the Sugar, Please
Another bad side-effect of stress is that it can make you crave sugary and fatty foods. Try to curb those cravings and reach for healthier choices instead.
(To help keep yourself on track, and give your body the fuel it needs to manage stress, try one of these filling and healthy smoothies from my eBook!)
Sugar is a blessing and a curse. How can something taste so good and yet be so bad for you? It just doesn't seem fair. You constantly crave it, and can't live without it sometimes!
The bad news is that consuming too much sugar can contribute to a number of health problems including weight gain, diabetes, heart problems, and can cause a weakened immune system.
A study researched by Loma Linda University in 1973 found that, "When you eat 100 grams of sugar, about as much sugar as you find in a 1 liter bottle of soda, your white blood cells are 40 percent less effective at killing germs." That's right folks, sugar can make you sick!
So most of you may just think that the solution would be to just cut out sugar completely from your diet and then problem solved. However, let's be realistic for a minute. Who in their right mind would never eat sugar again? It's just not really possible! Plus, it's never good to completely cut yourself off from something; every once in awhile you need to treat yourself!
You can cut back on your sugary cravings, but still treat yourself at the same time, when you make some of the delicious smoothies in my eBook. These babies taste just like a milkshake, and the funny thing is they are actually good for you since they contain less than 5 grams of sugar!
How to Boost Your Immune System
During the winter you want to do everything you can to boost your immune system and avoid getting sick. If you take the time to eat healthy, rest, avoid sugar, and manage your stress then you will have a stronger and more powerful defense system against germs and illness.
Interested in some smoothie recipes that can help you not only lose weight, but also add in healthy, germ fighting nutrients to strengthen your immune system?
- Try these smoothies to sneak in servings of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains!
- Need some extra defense to fight against a cold? Check out this cold busting smoothie!
- Want to satisfy that sweet tooth without all the sugar? Make this delicious smoothie that tastes just like a Cinnabon.. seriously!

Tha L. Spot®| Network & Be Recognized | Blog Post
The Utah Jazz signed 5-year old, free agent, JP Gibson, to a one-day contract for a special scrimmage on Monday night.
Gibson, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2012, joined the team in uniform for the annual preseason team scrimmage. As a part of the "Anything Can Be" project for children with cancer, hosted by the Jazz and photographer Jon Diaz, JP Gibson received a picture book with his dreams and wishes… One of which was to play professional basketball.
JP, wearing a No. 1 jersey, even got to play in the scrimmage. He was passed the ball and dribbled into the lane, where center Rudy Gobert lifted him up so he could dunk and slap hands with some players as fans roared.
Watch the video of Utah Jazz's JP Gibson's slam dunk below.

It's been perhaps 20 years, but I remember the sign distinctly. State of Illinois road crews were working on the highway going through Meredosia and as you approached Dosh from the east, the sign said, "Road Improvement Ahead." Going through Dosh you could see a sign that read, "Caution: Road Improvement." Then the real kicker came when you crossed the bridge into Pike County and were greeted with the announcement, "End of Improvement." Some local wit had added his own sign underneath, saying, "No Kidding." Except he didn't use the word "kidding."
My dad once threatened to pull a similar stunt. Our house in Perry was and is located only a block from the school, so to keep all little Perr-ians safe, the town had posted signs saying, "Slow Children." One of these ended up right in front of our house and Dad always said he was going to write, "Amen!" underneath it when his boys wouldn't get up in the morning.
I know that signage can be expensive and that Jacksonville already has its share of them, but I keep thinking we could use just one or two more. How about a sign on the town square directed at shoppers looking for a parking place? Something like "Keep Circling. The Second Coming is Near." And for any motorists trying to pull out on Walnut when the shifts change at Passavant, the CSC operations are getting out and JHS lets the rascals loose, it would be appropriate to have flashing lights saying, "Pitch your tent and try again tomorrow." Perhaps newcomers approaching Jacksonville from the east might welcome a sign simply saying, "Keep on Coming. There's more to us than a prison." From the west we might erect something stating, "Yes, Our Hospital has its own Baseball Field." The south entrance to Jacksonville might have the greeting, "Motel City," and those entering our fair city from the north my be met by a sign saying, "If You're Looking for Virginia, You Just Passed It."
There's a burger place on Morton that could make use of a sign simply indicating, "If we got your order correct please pull up and wait. There's been some mistake." The old Three-Legged Dog cafe might have calmed a few customers' nerves by posting a warning that, "We are not located in an earthquake zone. That was the sound of our espresso machine." And on rare summer days when the door to Our Town Books is open at the same time someone opens the front door of The Soap Company Coffee House and you find yourself struck by the double-barreled aroma of old books and freshly ground java, a message stating, "Sniff Here for a Little Bit of Heaven" might be appropriate.
When I was roaming the town as an Illinois College student there was a tiny combination knick-knack and what-cha-ma-call-it shop near the square that was operated by a dear little old lady who saw no need for a hearing aid in spite of the fact that she couldn't hear loud thunder. We always thought that a sign saying, "It's not me! It's you! Learn to speak up!" Those who were around Jacksonville in the 1950s still joke about a hamburger joint that might have displayed a menu stating, "You can have your burger medium-burnt or well-burnt."
Several years ago, the insurance companies of France penned an unusual stipulation on their policies. If you are driving in the famed circle of traffic around Paris' Arc de Triomphe, all policies go out the window. In case of an accident the cost is split 50-50 between the two drivers. A dozen boulevards converge on this famous Parisian landmark and driving nightmare. The parking lots of County Market and Walmart could do well to update their signage to something like, "Hold on, Pierre! In case of accident, a Walmart associate will not be available to help you."
I am forever turning my car into the wrong drive at the Our Saviour's school parking lot. I suggest that the local parish install something along the lines of, "For all you Protestants who can't read, this is an exit."
I may add one personal sign to the Jacksonville streets. I've been in town for a good number of months and still sometimes have trouble finding my street. If my neighbor down the street has her porch light on, that's a signal. If it's daylight I can see a little orange post, but after dark I'm clueless. I was spoiled by living in Arenzville where there were only a half dozen streets. This town is just too, well … streety. Perhaps I could use a sign that simply says, "Turn here, Dummy."

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
A foot fault, unless it is egregious cannot be called on match point. It simply can't.
Let's make an analogy — an NCAA title game in men's basketball. A player has one free throw to win the game. The ref says that the player stepped over the free throw line before making the shot, which is a violation.
The difference?
The ref swallows his whistle in basketball. That happens all the time. It happens on charging calls. It happens on palming the ball calls. They never get called at the end of the game.
A referee does not want to decide a game. They want the players to do that.
In the Serena-Clijsters match — won by Clijsters 6-4, 7-5 — the proverbial whistle should have been swallowed.The call never should have been made.
Replays did not make the call clear by any means. Unfortunately, it is not one of the calls that is reviewable by the chair umpire or instant replay.
Serena's reaction was wrong. The kids sitting near her outburst heard far too much out of her mouth. Television muffled much of what she said. However, two wrongs don't make a right.
No one was right on Saturday night at the Open.

Foreign currency accounts are ones maintained in a U.S. or overseas bank but in a foreign currency.
Foreign currency accounts can be a handy tool or a source of endless fees and charges. Determining whether your business needs one can be complicated, which is why we've written this post to break down the details. We'll explain the basics of how these accounts work and highlight their pros and cons.
Foreign currency accounts
When you look under the hood, foreign currency accounts are quite similar to many other business banking accounts. You can use them to accept money or pay money. And just like other standard accounts, their interest rates are extremely low.
The operative difference then is of course that they are in another currency, such as euros. They can also be subjected to a slew of international fees, so consider carefully before you go ahead and open one.
Who offers foreign currency accounts?
It is surprisingly rare to find a foreign currency account offered in the US. A few major US banks (e.g., US Bank or Citi) and some smaller players do offer foreign currency accounts.
In order to set up an account, the easiest thing to do is contact a bank or visit a branch. They will likely refer you to business or corporate banking where you can easily get your account going. Most banks require you to hold a US dollar account with them to qualify for the international account.
Most common foreign currencies available
US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, and New Zealand Dollar accounts are offered at essentially every bank with these accounts. Finding Nepalese rupees may be slightly harder — but most banks will offer the 10-20 most popular currencies.
The best perk?
Probably the biggest advantage of a foreign currency account is that it allows businesses to accept payments from overseas customers in their local currencies. This makes things much easier for the customers and can simplify accounting as well. You can also hold a reserve of business related cash in one of these accounts.
Another big benefit of having a foreign currency account is that you can dodge some of the conversion fees. If you're getting paid in euros and immediately transferring that into dollars you're likely to incur fees and eating into your profit.
These fees can range anywhere from 1-10% depending on your conversion rate and what other charges you have to pay. Needless to say, this can be substantial in larger amounts and it saves hassle to boot.
The final thing to think about is that having a foreign currency account allows you to buy currency and hold it in the account in case the exchange rate falls. While this is a way you can protect yourself, it also ties up your funds. There are other methods to this end, for more details see below.
The downside?
The cost would be the biggest potential negative factor. Fees on these type of accounts are usually high compared to normal accounts and of course they vary, depending on the bank you use.
Foreign Currency Accounts Compared
Each bank you look at is going to have a slightly different set of terms and fees. So, we've weeded through and found some of the most important specifics.
Minimum balance requirements – Everbank, PNC Bank, Citi, and US Bank all have minimums needed to open an account so be sure to check before proceeding. Some can be as high as $50,000.
Interest rates – None of the banks we surveyed had fixed interest rates, but rather they fluctuate over time. Everbank has a convenient interest rate checker, which can be found here.
Are these accounts FDIC insured? – Foreign banks don't always offer Federal Deposit Insurance Corp backing. So, for your foreign currency account you will be without the backing of FDIC which protects deposits up to $250,000 per bank account if the bank folds.
Monthly Fees – It's very important to check fees before you open an account, failure to do so could lead to paying more than you want. Everbank does not charge a monthly account fee, PNC and Citi charge you depending on the balance in your account and US bank has a flat $25 fee.
Access to a foreign currency overdraft – Not all banks offer this product, which is a little surprising. All the overdrafts we compared from Citi, PNC, Everbank and US Bank are subject to credit approvals, just like a normal business overdraft.
Multi-currency accounts – You can open a multi-currency account through both PNC and Everbank. This affords you the benefit of having two currencies under the umbrella of one account. This is a useful product but make sure you check fees and conversion charges to switch between currencies.
Fees and charges
The most common ways foreign currency accounts end up costing you are through flat monthly fees or surcharges for sending or receiving money. Many banks charge whenever money goes in or out of the account. So for a business that is conducting many transactions, this can get expensive really quickly. Be sure to read the fine print before signing up and monitor the account diligently.
If you're purchasing foreign currency to load into the account also be sure to double check the exchange rate. Small percentage points can make a huge difference.
When is it a good idea to use a foreign currency account and why?
If your business is relatively small and only beginning to transact in foreign currencies, you can certainly look into a foreign currency account. However, it might not make financial sense due to high fees. Every business is different, so the dollar amount at which the fees justify opening the account will be different for everyone. If you are dealing in the hundred thousand's, though, it is probably safe to assume the account would add value to your business.
The most effective use of a foreign currency account is when you utilize it to pay bills and receive payments consistently in a foreign country. If this is the case for your business, assess the fees and monthly charges and determine whether it makes sense for you.
Alternative Options
If the amounts you're dealing with are under $100,000 and/or you need to deal with a one-time transaction you probably don't need a foreign account. Instead, you can consider one of these options:
- Bill in whatever foreign currency you need, but ask customers to pay in USD. Be aware, though, some banks will charge to receive the foreign currency and also give you a poor exchange rate.
- Bill in a foreign currency and then transfer the money to USD through money transfer providers such as OFX or HiFX. This can he a good lateral solution and save you the hassle of opening a foreign currency account.
- Ask your customers to pay you directly in USD. This is obviously great for you but might turn off some of your customer base. They may also end up wanting to pay you less considering they now have to deal with the hassle and cost of converting their money to USD.
Importing and buying goods overseas
If you need to pay for goods overseas but need your receipts to match the payments, having a foreign currency account really comes in handy. Many importers who don't have money actively coming into their foreign currency account simply buy currency when they believe the rate is good and park it there. This is a way of locking in the exchange rate, but it comes with its own set of risks and effects the liquidity of your money.
Buying a foreign currency and letting it stay in your foreign account may affect your USD cash flow. Interest rates for these accounts are usually pretty abysmal and if you need the money you'll get charged fees to convert it back to dollars. Additionally, if you've bought at what you felt was a good rate and then the rate goes higher, you've tied yourself to an unfavorable exchange rate.
In this situation, there are some other things you can do to protect your funds against moving exchange rates without tying up your money. You can talk to a currency exchange expert or call your bank.

Two goals down inside the first five minutes on a hot (yes, it was hot in Bangkok on this Wednesday afternoon) the JV Girls fought back strongly. Both goals were scored by striker Nano – the last bundled in following a game of football ping pong in the six yard box with only minutes left to play. Nano completed her hat-trick in the friendly final third but, despite this bumper haul, Player of the Match goes to Bua who made several excellent saves to keep her side in the game; Bua's passing from goal kicks was also superb. The defensive combinations between Stefanie, May and Jenny were kept busy as the midfield of Bonus (cheered on by brother Balloon), Pye, Flo and Ploy were urged forward by the travelling fans. Boon was close to a wonder goal after a strong turn and surprise shot from long range but a draw was a fair result.

She looks like someone but I can't figure out who. I love the way Pinup Wow goes for that classy style of photo. I mean this is the type of photo your wife or girlfriend would give you as a gift because it's sexy without being vulgar.
I personally would never want my girlfriend to go to a photographer and get a shot like this done because I would be kind of possessive and be like, "wtf, some guy took this photo of you…yeah, it's nice, but I have to go and break his legs now."
Okay, short post because I'm kinda not feeling it today.

The OSS movement, which originated from a pragmatic need to share code among individuals, has grown to become a major force behind inter-organizational reuse of platforms, components and code. The use of open source software to build single or family of systems (i.e., product line development) appears to be a profitable way to quality software products. On the other hand, because of the diverse use of open source software, product line development is an attractive way of working in open source communities. The configuration mechanisms used in open source communities may be applicable within software product lines variability management. In addition, product line organizations are usually involved in distributed development, which works very efficiently within open source communities, leading to high quality products. However, at present, there is limited interaction between the open source and product line development communities.
There are several questions related to the quality and architectural aspects of the of open source software that need to be answered. The aim for the workshop is to explore what different communities (i.e., software architecture, software quality, software product lines, and open source software) whose work is closely related can learn from each other and to develop a better understanding of how these communities can benefit from each other. The workshop deals with the following issues:

A friend posted this tweet by Billie Jean King this morning:
Freedom of expression does not mean that a person may not have to face public condemnation. If you express unpopular views, or just views detested by a large number of people (who may not be the majority), you can expect to be condemned publicly. Liberals and progressives are just fine with this principle for views they detest -- Republicans, Bible thumpers, white racists, Donald Trump. In many cases they demand not just condemnation but the suppression of such views by the State. It's only when opinions they agree with encounter pushback that they become more purist, though they are ready to demand the suppression of the views of their critics, as King did.
The First Amendment, and the general principle of freedom of expression, assume that there will be public debate, without making any assumptions about the quality of that debate. (And a good thing, too, since the level of public debate is generally not high.) What is important is that someone should be able to express a highly unpopular opinion without being silenced -- by the State or any other force. Someone who wishes to express a highly unpopular opinion had better expect to encounter hostile responses; one very annoying tendency visible among liberals is that, for example, they should not be made to "feel like an outcast" (via) for taking an unpopular stand. This would be bad even if they didn't feel that no such consideration need be extended to those whose opinions they hate.
It's to their credit that the athletes themselves, as far as I've seen, don't seem to be demanding that they not be criticized. Perhaps because most of them are black and are therefore closer to political struggles of the recent past, they knew from the outset that standing up against the majority would make them lightning rods for hostility.
Now I'll address what I take to be King's more specific reference to President Trump's attacks on the athletes who protest against American white supremacy, while generally supporting American military aggression. It's true, as the friend who posted the tweet on Facebook argued, that the words of a President carry more weight in the public sphere than those of most citizens, though not (as she also argued) that they take "the form of law." Admittedly, partisan fans of a president will want to see them that way. But my friend, like so many Democratic loyalists, wasn't nearly as concerned about (for example) President Obama's prejudicial remarks about Chelsea Manning or Edward Snowden, let alone Obama's general war on whistleblowers. Privately, she probably would have agreed with them even if they had the imprimatur of a president she admired, but like most Democrats she ignored them or minimized their impact on the well-being of people who'd been accused of crimes. Nor, if I recall correctly, did she object to Obama's public criticism of Fox News, though right-wing partisans reacted to it in much the same panicky way that Democrats are now reacting to Trump.
Though I agree that a President's public statements will carry a lot of weight, it struck me funny to see my friend making the claims she did just as the owners of the NFL, and the NFL commissioner, struck back at Trump's demand that protesting athletes be fired. Former NFL coach Rex Ryan, who'd campaigned for Trump, announced that he was "[bleep] off." (Presumably bleeped by ESPN, where he appeared, rather than by Democracy Now!, who quoted him.) Pushing back against the Leader of the Free World is harder than pushing back against a single football player, but it can be done, and it's being done. (I'm with "former NFL player Donté Stallworth," who also appeared on DN! this morning, and warned against letting Trump hijack the protests into a controversy over himself, though that already seems to be happening.)
P.S. When I pointed out some of this, my friend replied that I should "tell it to the Joint Chiefs of Staff" in connection with Trump's announcement via Twitter last summer that transgender troops would no longer be allowed to serve in the military in any capacity. This was a notably ill-chosen rebuttal, because, first, Trump sent that tweet as a declaration of policy, which was not the case with his denunciation of the NFL protestors; and second, because the Joint Chiefs did not accept the tweet as having the "form of law." They announced that until a policy had been worked out formally, they were going to ignore Trump's announcement and transgender troops would continue to serve. Until Trump signed a memo implementing the ban, it wasn't law. The tweet itself did nothing. This case also supports my general distaste for the hopelessly inadequate way liberals have been responding to Trump's provocations.

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Jun 21 (Itar-Tass) One of the major volcanoes in the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Shiveluch, has belched out ash to the elevation of 10 kilometers above sea level, sources at the Kamchatka affiliation of the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences said today. A total of two series of local seismic events lasting from 40 minutes to 60 minutes have been registered at the volcano. According to seismic surveyors, they might have been accompanied by the exuding of ash to the elevations of 6.7 kilometers and 10 kilometers respectively. The ash columns could not be observed visually since the summit of the volcano is overcast with clouds. There has been no fallout of volcanic ash in the nearby population centers, including the town of Klyuchi, which is located some 30 kilometers away from the Shiveluch's foothills. A senior researcher at the Geophysical Service said the trail of ash had shifted northwards from the volcano where there are no townships of villages.IBN live

The 8:30 AM Morning Celtic Worship Service is a 40-minute service with The Lord's Supper, special Celtic arrangements of music, and a guided discussion about the Scripture. Those who gather are currently progressing through a study of the Gospel of Luke during the guided discussion.
Christian Celtic worship values the everyday experience and the ways we use our senses to praise God. We respond to God's gifts of seeing and tasting, hearing and feeling, and singing by offering our whole selves to God in worship. The Celtic tradition is a way of seeing the world. The tradition emphasizes the goodness of creation and makes us aware of the connections of nature with God's creatures. Nature does not serve humankind, rather, all of creation joins with humanity to praise God.
Nursery care is provided.
Here is what some of the people who worship at the Celtic Service have to say about it:
"The chance to worship in such an environment is fulfilling, gratifying, humorous, and peaceful, and I have loved looking at the book of Mark in its entirety. It raises multiple questions…and answers…and leaves me with something to take home every week."
"I'm drawn to the informality of a small community of seekers exploring the meaning of discipleship. My husband and I both find the opportunity to engage in Biblical dialogue meaningful. We also both like the time for quiet reflection and the emphasis on inclusiveness and service to others. I think this service would appeal to people who are looking for an alternative to the traditional worship experience that offers engagement with the text on a different level."
"I think that having the worship leader give the context for the scripture is very valuable and helpful in interpreting the text. It is more like an instructional Bible Study. I also think hearing of others' interpretations or comments expands my thinking and knowledge, which is invaluable."

Human beings eat their food that help them re energize and replace the nutrients that has been lost while working. But ever thought how the soil replenish its nutrients that helps the plants to grow? We use several techniques to do that. Let's read further to find out.
There are a number of ways the soil can be leached of their nutrients and move downward in the soils profile or groundwater. One reason can be – The composition of the rainwater can affect this process. Acid rain when falls on the soil cation exchange can occur and mineral such a calcium, magnesium and potassium get stuck to soil particles are released by the acid and are washed out of the soil into the deeper layer where the plants cannot reach. In natural environment the nutrients can be replenished by the decaying of plants that will help in contributing the humus and other nutrient content of the soil. But if deforestation is practised in some area, then by continuously being exposed to acid rain and lack of organic matter into the soil, the soil nutrients are decreased and may not be replaced.
So can the nutrients from soil get replaced and help in healthy growth in plants?
Generally, we use these two important methods to replenish the nutrients in soil:
Organic material: Organic materials like compost and other decaying matter adds structure to the soil, improves drainage and also it helps for stave off the disease and pests from the plants. People can use tilling or layering compost, and planting crops on crops which are most popular methods used to replenish nutrients in soil. Considering the soil's composition, this could take from weeks to years.
Compost: Compost is the best and the most effective way to replenish the nutrients in the soil than organic materials. The decomposition that initiates the process of creating composts with the help of many insects and microorganisms. It reintroduces the living organisms that can range from centipedes, who are also know as the farmer's best friends' as they help make the soil lose; bacteria that help fixing the nitrogen in the environment and provide healthy environment to the plant roots. Thus, the household wastes can be of use to the plants by turning the soil into black gold, that would also eliminate the dependency on chemical fertilisers.
Crop Rotation: Crop Rotation is the technique that is used to plant the seasoned plants according their season on the same soil. When this technique is applied, it can further help in decreasing soil depletion and help ensuring a lasting healthy soil environment. Crop rotation is helps increase the yields and prevents crop loss due to pests or diseases.Planting different genera of plant on the same place is an effective method to practise in order to replenish the nutrients in soil.
Cover crops: Cover crops are planted next to food crops in the middle of their growing season that help cover the weeds (plants that take the essential nutrients of the soil) and attract the beneficial insects. These crops grow fast to compete the weed for which it is important to cut down and kill the weeds, before the set the seeds and spread. Usually, planted in the late fall after harvest, and then cut down into the soil before planting in spring. Once the dear leaves turn brown, they can be tilted into the soil.

text: Well I've made an appointment with the doctor to talk about my ED, its on the 9th January. Looking for any advice on how I ask for help, what to say, what they might do. I am very worried as you can imagine and since it seems so far away I'm also scared about bottling it and backing out. It is also a doctor I haven't seen before so I'm a little anxious about that too. What experiences has anyone else had with their GP's? I know people who have had other mental health issues who have had awful trouble getting their doctors to understand and help them, most are just given pills and told to return in 3 weeks. If this appointment doesn't go well I am worried that I wont return, so I have to be prepared with what I am going to say etc. I'd be grateful for any advice thanks xx

If you are looking for a way to make your yard more interesting and visually appealing, you should consider incorporating a garden water feature. A misconception some homeowners have is that these water features are only reserved for yards that have a significant amount of space. The truth of the matter is that you have an array of option to choose from so you can rest assured that you will find something that suits the size of your yard as well as your needs. Here are some of the garden water features that you can consider for your home.
A reflecting pool
This type of garden water feature is best suited for a large yard. The pools typically have a geometric shape and a walkway built above them to enable you to cross from one side of the pool to another. Since the pool is supposed to be reflective, it will have to be considerably large. Additionally, when looking to construct a reflective pool in your yard, ensure it is located in close proximity to a decorative feature in your yard. This way it can vividly reflect this feature in its clear, glassy waters.
An ornamental pool
Another option you can consider, if you are looking to incorporate a garden water feature, is an ornamental pool. These types of pools are typically located adjacent to an entertainment area as they work toward enhancing the aesthetics of the space. They will typically come with a fountain feature that cascades water. The sound of the water bubbling out of the fountain and into the ornamental pool is supposed to have a calming effect. Ornamental pools can be as small or as large as you want them, making them suitable for any type of yard.
A water garden
As the name suggests, this is a garden with water being its main feature. This does not mean that you simply pour water into your yard. Instead, your landscaping contractors will create an entire aquatic ecosystem. Water gardens can be made up exclusively of plants that come in a variety of textures and colours to add some character to your yard. However, if you would like to make it more visually interesting, you should consider also including living creatures into the water garden. These could range from uniquely coloured fish such as koi fish or gold fish to turtles. This makes your water garden a living garden feature on its own. It should be noted though that a water garden will need regular care and maintenance to ensure the aquatic life thrives.Share

The Florida Department of Health works to protect, promote & enhance the health of all individuals in Florida by built-in state, county, & community efforts.

Even if the availability facet revolution in health care had been solely partial, the entry of e.g. Walmart and Apple would shake issues up positively and make people cross about cross-subsidies.

A few of the 50{53155fe02304ffcc62de152f54223ec5363f3d772094a94c0281fe19ccaffef0} or so, who're getting health insurance coverage through their employer, and used to get somewhat flimsy insurance prior to now, may be considerably disgruntled because the Obamacare imposition of essential advantages" caused their share of premiums and deductibles to rise, and their ability to choose their docs to plummet.
We within the West little consideration to the the health of our livers not like in Jap cultures where Chinese Medicine is normally practiced and the place the liver is without doubt one of the main organs in the human body to be identified. That's, in the current system, the most expensive and needy sufferers are paid for with public dollars, and the least expensive and most worthwhile are beneath private insurance coverage. As a consequence, with the assist of the B.C. Ministry of Health, the Island Health Board has directed the Health Authority to droop CPOE and associated processes—though Island Health is delaying this. Your insurance company has a rhyme and reason for what they're telling you they paid.
It will likely be nice to have probiotics that are designed to treat particular health issues. Your insurance coverage pays your invoice (or part of your bill) on your behalf, and the physician sends you a bill for whatever the insurance didn't pay. The African People's Training and Protection Fund (APEDF), Uhuru Flea Markets, Uhuru Furniture and all of our health partners are proud to have sponsored the 2015 Uhuru Health Competition & Flea Market! Therefore, one can easily scale back their weight and still remain healthy by consuming green apples. It has been steadily getting worse, and the Obama administration with its present health care choices is much from the main perpetrator.
Whereas I will agree that some hospitals offer better care than others, I've worked in mental health services from Alaska, to North Carolina and in between. Its NECESSARY to start out a healthy food plan weeks before the surgical procedure so your physique is just not in shock. Even the health insurance coverage you get from your employer is not insurance coverage in the strict sense of the word.

Who is kevin reanu dating
He lives in a flat near the Old Vic, and is often to be seen stopping for breakfast in an Italian cafe on the way to work.
In the evenings, he likes to mingle with the capital's fashionable intelligentsia - and is a ubiquitous figure on the social scene.
Indeed, in 1996 Vanity Fair, the prestigious American magazine, published an article (headlined 'Kevin Spacey has a Secret') all but stating that he was gay.
The actor, it seems, was only too happy to oblige - even dialling the number for the stranger before handing over the phone.
He added: "I'm thinking they are going to run out and find this kid a block later.
Of course, they take me to the hospital and they were very kind."Spacey, who won Oscars for his roles in The Usual Suspects and American Beauty, is believed to have been treated at nearby St Thomas' Hospital.
At which point, he said, the youngster ran off clutching his prize.
The truth, he said, was that he had fallen for "the oldest trick in the book". I was, I think, incredibly embarrassed by it," the notoriously private Spacey told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

What They Did'nt Tell You!
1) The Population White Paper - The projected population of 6.9 million by 2030 raised many people's eyebrows considering the daily crunch the public encountered in their daily commute. The assumptions that ageing population will slow down economic growth and optimal TFR (Total Fertility Rate) calculations were open to questions. According to Austrian demographer Prof. Wolfgang Lutz who was in town recently the dire situation as portrayed in the Paper on the ageing population was over done. He cited the examples of Germany and Cyprus - the former with an ageing population was thriving economically while the later whose population is 10 years younger and dynamic did not overtake the former. He added the next cohort of older generation will be more educated and thus translated to a better-educated, active and productive elderly population. He also suggested the TFR for Singapore is 1.7 rather than the usal 2.1. He said we may be working on outdated data.
2) The Budget 2013 - The Government labelled the Budget as "inclusive". Yes, " inclusiveness" is a value very much enshrined in our Pledge - ".....to build a democatic society based on justice and equality ....". The Government has all along always been "tight-fisted". It can be a lot more charitable and forth-coming in lightening the people's burden especially for the botttom rung of the 20% of the population. More can be done and should be done for the whole population from the young, the schooling, the working class, the elderly, the business community, the civic society, etc. Whatever can be done for the social good the Government should not spare its efforts. I hope by 2015 after half century of our nationhood we all Singaporeans can be proud that we have attained the Swiss standard of living where low wages, long working hours and cost of living will not require our attention anymore. For this to become a reality the Government must always stand on the the side of the weak, the vulnerable, the poor, the disadvantaged, the young child, the widow, the working mothers, the elderly, etc. This is a tall order! I see a "sparkling" RED DOT.

I love that you can do almost any color combination and they look great. I've been using all my scrap yarn while knitting these gloves. I just do a stripe until I run out of yarn and then I use a different color!

Moritz WaldemeyerMagazine Design | 20 Jul 2016
In Moritz Waldemeyer's mind, the concept of "frontier" is difficult to grasp. Beyond the boundaries, the German designer, based in London since 2004, travels a path of experimentation, fusing technology, art, fashion and design. Like a vibrant spectrum of colours, his unique approach has already won over artists such as U2, Rihanna, Will.i.am and Ellie Goulding, as well as famous brands that have challenged him to create different lighting installations, veritable living organisms.
There is a very strong concept of entertainment in your work. Does this playful approach to design takes place from the first design sketch?
It's very important if there is always an emotional element in the work because that is the part that really talks to people. Without that component it will only be a technology showcase and it's pretty worthless as an art piece. The fact that people can emotionally respond to it is very important; it's like touching something. There has to be something human in the project because that's what people will remember. It is important to create a sense of wonder, something that is magical and moves people from their day-to-day experience. People are drawn to the light, that's something that has been with us since mankind discovered fire.
Is it like working with magic?
I try to give the project some charm. What you gain is some human factor. We use some quite advanced technology, electronics and all that, but none of that would work if there wasn't that human quality somehow. So that's what we try to do. We like to make technology charming.

2015 has been a banner year for the transgender community with an unprecedented level of visibility in mainstream press and with so many gains being made in areas such as health care, civil rights, and acceptance. But along with the highs have been so low pints such as the horrendous murder rate of trans women of color, the repeal of the Houston Equal Rights Ordnance, and the "bathroom bills" which have been introduced in so many states. But overall 2015 has been a good year full of progress. Below are some of the people and the stories which have been among the most compelling of the year.
Caitlyn Jenner
The story which generated the biggest amount of buzz has been the emergence of Caitlyn Jenner, which began with her coming out in the Vanity Fair cover story in their June issue.
While there is no debating that she has generated a huge amount of attention in the mainstream press, which is definitely a good thing, she has also ignited a firestorm of controversy within the transgender community. Many people have been upset over some of her transphobic statements and feel she is not representative of the average trans person and of the community as a whole, and she has done little to help herself with some of the comments she has made. But the bottom line is that she has made trans people more relevant and has been a catalyst for discussion, which will lead to education and ultimately progress for the community. So love her or hate her, Caitlyn is here to stay and is making a difference.
The television series Transparent was created by Jill Soloway for Amazon Studios and debuted on February 6, 2014. The series focuses on a Los Angeles family who discovers that the person they knew as their father Mort is transgender.
Jeffrey Tambor leads an amazing cast with his portrayal of transgender woman Maura as she struggles to come out to her family and accept who she is and the new life she is embarking on. Tambor won his first Emmy Award as best actor, plus a Golden Globe last winter for his role on Transparent. He dedicated his award to the trans community with a beautifully touching speech in which he said "I've been given the opportunity to act because people's lives depend on it," the actor said while on stage. "Thank you for your courage. Thank you for your stories. Thank you for your inspiration."
Transparent also features trans actress Alexandra Billings and the writing of Our Lady J, the show's first trans writer. She is also a renowned classical pianist who was named by OUT Magazine to the "Out 100" list of people who have shaped the LGBT culture. Our Lady J has been very vocal in her efforts to get Hollywood executives to hire trans people to tell their stories, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.
Janet Mock
Janet Mock is an author, journalist, television host, and activist who is widely considered one of the most inspiring and powerful people in the trans community. Mock was described as the person who writes the script for transgender activism, which was so eloquently expressed when she stated "I am a trans woman. My sisters are trans women. We are not shameful. We are worthy of respect, desire, and love. As there are many kinds of women, and many men desire many kinds of women, trans women are amongst these women. And let's be clear: Trans women are women."
Mock is the first transgender host with her show on MSNBC So Popular and was the first transgender author to top the New York Times Bestseller List with her highly acclaimed Redefining Realness. She is also the creator of one of our culture's most popular hashtags, #girlslikeus., and has created transgender specific programs for the TQBGL center of the Hetrick-Martin Institute , which operates the Harvey Milk High School, a New York City school for TQBGL students.
