Zoom on the Genmax GM9000iED
In summary, the Genmax GM9000iED is a powerful portable inverter generator especially useful for:
- Food truck owners who do not wish to see their business interrupted under any circumstances
- Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
- Camping and tailgating buffs looking to enhance their experience
- Professionals who want to ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, the extra features it benefits from, and any relevant emission compliance details.
Power & Run Time
The dual-fuel technology of the Genmax GM9000iED allows for an output of 120/240V and provides superb power and versatility. If gasoline-powered, the device provides a running wattage of 7,600W and a starting wattage of 9,000W. If propane-powered, it gives 7,200 rated watts and 8,550 starting watts. Moreover, since it is parallel capable (GM9000PK (opens in a new tab) not included), its power may be increased if linked to a second compatible unit.
The inverter generator is rated for a noise of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than an office). Its starting mechanisms include a simple traditional pull-start mechanism and a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). To add further convenience, the GM9000iED can be remotely started (key fob included).
As for its running time, the GM9000iED, along with its 6.9 gallons fuel capacity, can run for up to 14.5 hours with a full tank filled with gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.48 GPH). If propane is used, it can operate for up to 7 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.67 GPH).
Delicate electronics can be plugged in an AC outlets safely, as the GM9000iED generates a clean sine wave, reaching a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
The control panel provides the upcoming 6 AC outlets:
Additionally, it features 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (USB-A) allowing you to conveniently charge electronics such as mobile phones and tablets.
As it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the GM9000iED is transfer switch ready: in case of a power outage, you will be easily able to connect it to a breaker box and power your household.
Since the Genmax GM9000iED is an inverter generator, its closed design (L30.9 x W22.6 x H29.3 in) has an esthetical advantage over conventional, open frame devices. The generator has a contemporary design, convenient for recreationally generating power.
As the generator's weight is 243.6 pounds, manually moving it or transporting it may be challenging, despite the fact that it is technically considered 'portable' (movable). Nevertheless, it can still be moved quite conveniently with the help of its set of 2 wheels (⌀7") and its folding handle, once it is placed on the ground.
The control panel of the GM9000iED includes a digital data center, which assists you in monitoring its status and activity, as it provides information on the power output, lifetime run hours, frequency and voltage.
In addition to this info, several light indicators serve to show you when the generator is ready, its oil levels are insufficient and the generator is on overload.
Thanks to a built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator allows you to quickly, conveniently and easily check the gas level at a glance.
As for its security measures, the device features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, letting you use it with a peace of mind.
It also benefits from Genmax's CO DETECT technology, which is designed to monitor the level of carbon monoxide present during the generator's operation. If the generator is positioned incorrectly and carbon monoxide levels rise to an unsafe level, the generator will automatically shut down. It’s a welcomed additional security feature, but don’t forget to always take your generator outside (opens in a new tab).
With the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), letting you start the generator quickly, the Genmax GM9000iED also comes with several accessories, including: tool kit, funnel, key fob and propane hose.
The Genmax GM9000iED is EPA approved, but NOT CARB-compliant. Thus, it cannot be purchased or sold in California.
However, it features a spark arrestor, making it usable in forested areas.
In addition, the unit meets the ANSI/PGMA G300-2018 safety and performance requirements.
The Genmax GM9000iED versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Genmax GM9000iED compare to generators of similar power (between 7500 and 8500 W).
- As its dry weight is 243.6 pounds, the Genmax GM9000iED is one of the heavier of the products which can generate 7500 to 8500 running watts. Regarding dry weight, one of the champions in the same power range is the Dewalt DXGNR8000, with a dry weight of only 183 lbs.
- With a lowest possible noise of 62 dBA, this inverter generator places itself amongst the most quiet of the products delivering similar power.
- As for its autonomy, the GM9000iED, with an autonomy of up to 14.5 hours at a 25% load, is placed on the low end among the generators of its kind. Concerning the run times, one of the several devices with a comparable output, offering the highest autonomy, is the DuroMax XP9000iH, which is able to run for up to 20 hours.
- Autonomy holds its importance, however, it is largely dependent on the generator’s fuel capacity and so, it is nonsensible to discuss it without mentioning fuel efficiency as well. In fact, this inverter generator is not among the most fuel efficient, within the aforementioned wattage range : its estimated gasoline consumption at 25% load is around 0.48 GPH. If you wish to further improve in the area of fuel efficiency, the DuroMax XP9000iH, which boasts with a gas consumption of only 0.35 GPH, may be the right generator for you.
As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other 7500-8500W generators, the Genmax GM9000iED is on the expensive side of the price range.
While certainly not the cheapest of its kind, purchasing it would most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.

Seaweed extract has been reported to have various beneficial effects on many crops. A study was conducted in 1989 and 1990 to evaluate the effects of Response 9-9-7, a seaweed extract fortified with NPK, on yield of staked tomatoes and cucumbers. Plants were sprayed to the runoff weekly, biweekly, every 3 weeks and every 4 weeks with 1:500, 1:250, 1:150 and 1:125 v/v Response/water respectively. Results indicate that spring tomatoes sprayed with Response 9-9-7 at all rates outyielded the check which was sprayed with plain water. However, the only significant difference was obtained when tomatoes were sprayed with 1:150 Response/water in 1989 and 1:500 in 1990. Response/water at 1:500 rate significantly increased the quality and marketable yield of cucumber in both years. Response 9-9-7 had no effect on yield of tomatoes grown in the summer under heat stress.

Leonardite additions (0, 1/16, l/8, 1/4, or 1/3 volume leonardite/volume medium) were more effective if applied only before (Expt. 1) than if applied before and after transplanting (Expt. 2). In Expt. 1, root dry weight (4 weeks after transplanting) of marigold increased 58% to 152% with 1/3 leonardite (by volume) best; zinnia, 15% to 150%, with no differences from 1/8 to 1/3 volume; tomato, a 64% increase at 1/8, a 57% increase at 1/4, and a 47% increase at 1/3 volume, with no differences among 1/8 to 1/3 volume. In Expt. 2, 1/3 leonardite addition inhibited potential root growth. No differences in stem caliber or shoot length or dry weight were found in Expts. 1 or 2. Maxicrop soluble-extract powder seaweed drenches increased roots by ≈21%, as did Maxicrop cold processed seaweed extract liquid (1:500). All extracts were applied 4 times beginning a week after transplanting. The most significant find was a 65% increase in root dry weight and a 7% increase in stem caliber with Maxicrop cold processed seaweed extract drenches (1:200). No differences in shoot length or dry weight were found.

This course will emphasize the fundamental concepts needed to understand the diverse chemistry of all the elements of the periodic table. The common theme for the entire course will be Structure and Bonding. The primary focus will be inorganic molecules, ions and solids, but the concepts we will discuss are applicable to all aspects of chemistry. The first two-thirds of the course will cover theories of bonding in molecules and solids along with some background in symmetry and structure.

A number of techniques are used to characterize the properties of the compound that students may not be very familiar with but the article presents in an accessible way.
I created this activity as a way to get the class involved in creating new, fun ways to teach course concepts (selfishly- that part is for me) and for students to review concepts prior to the final exam (for them). Students use a template to create a 15-20 min activity that can be used in groups during class to teach a concept we have learned during the semester. We then randomly assign the activities and students work in groups to complete them and provide feedback.

Many of the topics in this course have their origins in the topics that are covered in General Chemistry but are covered in more detail. Many of the rules learned in General Chemistry are actually the exception. Chemical systems are much more complicated than the simple models presented in a first year course.

Adopted: January 26, 1989
Revised: October 23, 2012
The district is committed to a learning and working environment that is free from sexual discrimination and harassment. Sexual harassment is recognized as a form of sex discrimination and thus a violation of the laws which prohibit sex discrimination.
It shall be a violation of policy for any member of the district staff to harass another staff member or student through conduct or communications of a sexual nature. Any conduct of a sexual nature directed toward students by teachers or others to whom this policy applies, shall be presumed to be unwelcome. Sexual harassment committed by an employee of the district in the course of employment shall be deemed a breach of duty, and as such, shall subject the offending employee to disciplinary action. This policy similarly applies to non-employee volunteers or any other persons who work subject to the control of school authorities.
Sexual harassment prohibited
For purposes of this policy, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment if:
- Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of a person's employment or educational development.
- Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment or education decisions affecting such individual.
- Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or educational performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or educational environment.
The prohibition against sexual harassment applies whether the harassment is between people of the same or different gender.
- Sexual harassment as defined above may include but is not limited to:
- Sex-oriented verbal "kidding," abuse or harassment.
- Pressure for sexual activity.
- Repeated remarks to a person with sexual implications.
- Unwelcome touching, such as patting, pinching or constant brushing against another's body.
- Suggesting or demanding sexual involvement, accompanied by implied or explicit threats concerning one's grades, employment status or similar personal concerns.
- Sexual violence.
Reporting, investigation and sanctions
It is the express desire of the Board to encourage victims of, or witnesses to, sexual harassment to report such claims through the district’s complaint process (AC-R).
Employees who feel that their superiors are conditioning promotions, increases in wages, continuation of employment, or other terms or conditions of employment upon agreement to unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, are encouraged to report these conditions to the appropriate administrator or to the district's compliance officer.
All reports of sexual harassment received by any district employee shall be promptly forwarded to the compliance officer (AC-E1). The compliance officer shall ensure that every complaint is promptly investigated and responded to as set forth in the district’s complaint and compliance process (AC-R). No reprisals or retaliation shall be allowed to occur as a result of the good faith reporting of charges of sexual harassment. Requests for confidentiality shall be honored so long as doing so does not preclude the district from responding effectively to the harassment and preventing such conduct in the future.
Any employee found to have engaged in sexual harassment shall be subject to sanctions, including, but not limited to, warning or reprimand, suspension, or termination, subject to applicable procedural requirements. Conduct of a sexual nature directed toward students shall, in appropriate circumstances, be reported as child abuse for investigation by appropriate authorities in conformity with policy JLF.
Filing of a complaint or otherwise reporting sexual harassment shall not reflect upon the individual's status or affect future employment or work assignments. All matters involving sexual harassment complaints shall remain confidential to the extent possible.
Notice of policy
Notice of this policy shall be circulated to all district schools and departments and incorporated in employee handbooks.
20 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.(Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972)

Standing tall on the global stage as a beacon of Latin music and representation, Shakira has blessed fans with soulful lyrics over a musical journey that has spanned three decades. Beyond her musical achievements, Shakira’s impact on the worlds of culture and education have been notable. The Barranquilla, Colombia, native has healed hearts, sparked joy, evoked memories, and empowered many with songs that celebrate her Colombian and Latin identity, like “Hips Don’t Lie.”
What better way to acknowledge Shakira’s enduring legacy than to dedicate an entire day to the global pop star? That’s precisely why Spotify initiated the #ShakiraDeservesADay campaign—#ShakiraMereceUnDía in Spanish—where Colombians had the opportunity to voice their support for this special celebration on social media.
The post Spotify Honors EQUAL Global Ambassador Shakira With a Special Day Dedicated to Her Enduring Legacy appeared first on Spotify.

Sustainable Intensive Farming
We think we know the solution: More conventional farming with higher yield.
Professor of Farming Systems Ecology Tittonell in Holland does not think so.
His views are that:
Increasing the efficiency of conventional farming alone will not be able to meet the quantity of food needed.
Intensified conventional farming is not sustainable in the long term.
Some of the farming should be transferred or developed from the Western world to the developing countries, where the food will be needed the most locally.
Over 90% of the ag research currently goes to conventional farming, more should go to sustainable farming.
So the solution is some form of intensive and sustainable farming, although the professor does not develop his thoughts on what he means exactly. He does mention organic and small scale farming, but it is probably not the whole solution either.
It is also not clear how the non-renewable oil would be used less in a sustainable but intensive farming scenario. Fertilizer such as nitrogen in its different forms hasn't been made from oil in decades, and diesel machinery will still need to till or no-till and plant and spray and harvest the fields, organic or conventional. Other fertilizers are mined or come from coal power plants, so I guess that's what he means, but some hard data would be welcome.
The Western world could indeed reduce farming "without affecting food security," but there would be other consequences, such as increased food prices, which Tittonell does not consider.
Besides Tittonell in Holland, the Imperial College in London and The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, which is having its Global Food Security Symposium in Washington D.C. next week are also supporting the notion of intensive sustainable farming as the best answer to address the food needs of the developing world, in a more practical and pragmatic way.
Meanwhile in Congress...
Oregon senator Schrader mentioned the "O" word. No, not our President, but "Organic," the Orror. What ensued was Owful. He Olmost got beaten to a pulp, as if organic farming does not exist or does not have a place in farming. So I'm guessing, no support for intensive sustainable farming in the U.S. for a while, Ow sad.

Dear International Students waiting to enter Japan,
We have recently informed you that you would be admitted to enter Japan from November 8th, and we have been making preparations to accept you. However, on November 29th, the Japanese Government has announced new border enforcement measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and the new entry of foreign nationals has been suspended. We know that some of you have already started to make preparations for your arrival in Japan, but we regret that you will have to wait a little longer.
We understand that some of you may be feeling anxious and impatient about these frequent measures, and if this is the case, you can contact the International Student Consulting Room at the Student Support Center in our university. Guidance counselors are available to help you with any concerns you may have.
This new course of action is being taken for the time being as a precautionary measure for one month as an emergency response to the Omicron outbreak. However, we will keep you informed of the changing situation through your faculty department, and on the Student Support Center website written below. You can also visit the following website to confirm the latest developments.
The University of Tsukuba hopes that this temporary measure will be eased and that you will be able to enter Japan as soon as possible. We will continue to prepare for your arrival and the start of your student life.
We hope to see you in Tsukuba soon.

One important reason for motor failure is the overheating condition. The current flowing in the motor originates a temperature rise which in turns degrades the insulation system as per
The insulation thermal life is governed by a reaction rate equation of the first order.
[C] is the insulation element concentration present in the chemical reaction (percent or per unit),
The rate coefficient k is given by the Arrhenius
A is the frequency constant (sec-1), E is the activation energy (kJ/mol), T is the temperature (°K) and R is the universal gas constant (8.314x10-3

The lifetime of the insulation system is usually defined as the time when the actual concentration reaches half of the initial concentration. That is
The insulation system temperature rating is obtained by test:
NEMA specifies letter designations for motor thermal insulation systems based on thermal endurance for temperature rating purposes. Thermal ratings are 40°C ambient temperature and the motor running continuously at service factor load.

How to Make Yoghurt at Home
March 20, 2012
When I committed to skipping the supermarket yoghurt was one of the items I was most concerned about replacing. My two little boys, and Mr Fresh eat lots of yoghurt. The most obvious alternative was to try to make it myself. I did, and it is with a great sense of satisfaction that I have been watching Cuddles and Punky greedily spooning my home made yoghurt down and requesting it as a dessert treat.
I have discovered that home made yoghurt:
If we return to the supermarket in the future, I will not return to purchasing store brought yoghurt. Why would I ?
Yoghurt is so loved in our home that before I commenced skipping the supermarket I Googled home-made yoghurt to research how feasible it was for me to try to make it. I found many recipes, and an amazing number of variations in technique! The recipe I selected to try was from The Frugal Girl . I have re-written the steps of the process The Frugal Girl describes because I found it challenging to complete each activity at the correct time when I first tried it. I made some changes to the recommended timing and I changed the measurements to metric. (I have a background in writing training material and in documenting processes…..I can’t help myself)
I would like to try a batch of soy milk based yoghurt next as I am intolerant to dairy. I had a tiny taste of this yoghurt and I really liked the smooth mild flavor but I would like to be able to eat more than a 5 cent sized spoonful!
Stay tuned if you are interested in dairy-free yoghurt made with a soy base. If you “like” my Face Book Page you will be sure to know when I write about it.
If you have questions about making yoghurt I will do my best to answer based on my experience to date. I found a great resource at: Make Your Own Yoghurt with a range of Frequently Asked Questions that may also assist.

Keel laying ceremony for the Royal Thai Navy’s first S26T submarine was held by Chinese shipbuilding group CSIC (China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation) on September 5th at Wuchang Shipbuilding’s yard in Wuhan/China. First steel cut of the submarine was conducted in September 2018.
In April 2017, the Government of Thailand approved the purchase of approximately $ 411 million worth of diesel-electric submarines from China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation. The Royal Thai Navy (RTN) and Chinese shipbuilder Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co. Ltd held the keel-laying ceremony for the RTN’s first S26T diesel-electric submarine.
The submarine is expected to be delivered to the RTN by 2023. While the RTN has only ordered one unit, the service intends to order another unit and has requested funds from the Thai government to support the program. The second unit is expected to cost less than the first one.
S26T Submarine :
The S26T was based on the Type 039B Yuan-class submarine operated by the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). It is expected to displace at around 2,600 tons, has a top speed of 18 knots, and a submerged endurance of up to 20 days. It will be armed with up to 16 torpedoes and up to 30 mines.

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – City officials say that one of the walking trails located near the Fort St. John Hospital will be closed until further notice.
Communications Coordinator Ryan Harvey said that work crews were attempting to resolve drainage issues near the walking trail along the south side of the hospital property when some of the equipment caused damage to the trail itself.
Harvey said that the City is currently working with engineers to try to get the drainage issues in the area resolved while also determining what repairs need to be performed on the trail itself.
He added that at this point it’s not known when the trail will be reopening, but that the City will be notifying residents via its Facebook page.

MAY 28, 2022
Vice President Kamala Harris decried an “epidemic of hate” she said is sweeping the nation as she attended the Saturday funeral of Ruth Whitfield, the oldest victim of a mass shooting at a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket earlier this month.
Whitfield’s visitation and funeral were both held at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Buffalo.
Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff arrived at the church at 12:08 p.m., according to pool reports. They sat on the front row at the church alongside Whitfield’s family.
Civil rights leader the Rev. Al Sharpton delivered the eulogy for Whitfield. He encouraged Harris to also give remarks, though she initially said she didn’t wish to speak at the funeral.
“I do believe that our nation right now is experiencing the epidemic of hate,” she said.
“There’s a through line to what happened here, in Texas, in Atlanta, in Orlando, what happened at the synagogues … and so this is a moment that requires all good people who are loving people to just say we will not stand for this.
“Enough is enough.
“We will come together based on what we all know we have in common and we will not let those people who are motivated by hate separate us or make us feel fear.”
Also in attendance at the service were New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncraz, U.S. Sen Kirsten Gillibrand, U.S. Rep. Brian Higgins and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Whitfield, 86, was one of 10 people killed in the May 14 shooting at a Tops Friendly Markets grocery store.
Authorities said the shooting was racially motivated, citing a racist manifesto posted only by the accused gunman, Payton Gendron, 18. All 10 of the victims who died were Black. Of the three others injured, two were White and one was Black.
Whitfield’s is the last funeral to take place for those killed in the shooting. Over the previous week, Geraldine Talley, 62, Andre Mackniel, 53, Margus Morrison, 52, Aaron Salter, 55, Pearl Young, 77, Roberta Drury, 32, Katherine Massey, 72, Heyward Patterson, 67, and Celestine Chaney, 65 were laid to rest.
The White House said Harris and Emhoff met with local leaders before the funeral.


Adhithi Aji is Founder and President of Adrich, a Pittsburgh-based company whose technology delivers a closed loop ordering/monitoring system powered by data provided by sensors on or in the package.
A system like Adrich’s is especially timely given the need for CPG/DTC brands to meet sustainability goals by reducing package waste. It also gives brands something they’ve never had before: real-time insights about actual product usage. Consumers benefit from the convenience of auto-refilling and from better, more personalized messaging from the brands, thus increasing consumer loyalty.
“The good thing about our technology is that it really works across categories,” said Adhithi. “So you can take anything from food or beverage to beauty segments, personal care, as well. It’s the same smart label that works across all the products, so it brings us scalability built for that connected home scenario where you have a connected kitchen, a connected bathroom. All of these products talk to one single entity, and Amazon fulfills the orders.”
Will customers be willing to pay a bit more for a “smart container” that knows enough about itself to re-order whatever is inside it? Adhithi thinks so: any technology costs involved in smart-labeling containers will be offset by improved fulfillment efficiencies.
“Think of it as subscription 2.0, which we a call consumption-based subscription for fulfillment,” said Adhithi. “Consumers get the right amount of product and brands don’t lose the consumer. We see consumer lifetime value increasing up to 23 percent.” That’s great because customer churn among traditional “subscribe and save” programs is up to 40 percent because customers are so unhappy with the way that products are refilled.
Right now, Adrich’s system is being used in Europe in the liquid food and liquid cleaner categories, vacuum cleaner bags, and cosmetics. Adrich is a member of the U.S. Plastics Pact — a pro-sustainability organization serving as a hub for businesses, not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, and research institutions seeking to advance what it calls “a circular economy for plastics.” Adhiti is optimistic about the future of her technology and expects that Adrich’s installed base of smart containers will expand in 2023 and beyond.

After a flurry of moves made by the Rays front office during today’s trade deadline, the team looked to seal a series win with a victory in tonight’s contest in Boston.
In familiar fashion, Travis d’Arnaud got the Rays on the board in the top of the 1st against Red Sox starter Rick Porcello.
Coming into tonight, Porcello carried a 4-0 record in the month of July, albeit with an ERA of 7.54. The latter of those two trends continued.
Kevin Kiermaier, fresh off the injured list, added on with a home run in the 2nd.
Austin Meadows added three more runs with a dinger of his own.
Andrew Kittredge pitched two scoreless innings as the game’s opener, and got one more out in the 3rd before giving way to Ryan Yarbrough to eat the middle innings. The Sox scored in the 3rd and again in the 4th, and the Rays added more in the 6th, when another homer, this time by Willy Adames, chased Porcello out of the game.
But it didn’t stop there, as Kiermaier and Matt Duffy continued their hot hitting, combining to add two more in the 7th. Armed with a 6 run lead, it looked like Yarbrough could finish the game, but after allowing two runs in the 7th including a home run to Michael Chavis, manager Kevin Cash made the call to bring Diego Castillo.
A bloop single by JD Martinez drove in the 5th Sox run, and it was the only batter Castillo faced. Instead, Colin Poche finished the inning with an emotional strikeout of Andrew Benintendi.
So the Rays got out of the inning, but that didn’t mean we got to exhale. Poche stayed in the game to pitch the 8th, and after a leadoff single by Sam Travis, he went on to strike out the side like the Poche we got to know earlier this year.
With Emilio Pagan getting work in last night’s game, Cash turned to Chaz Roe to pitch the 9th. He too allowed a leadoff single as well as a walk to make things interesting. Oliver Drake was warm, but Roe was able to finish the job.

This immune system booster smoothie is a great way to help your body be ready to fight. It's packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory nutrients to help you be strong and healthy.
No matter what time of the year it is, there are always so many viruses and bacteria going around at school, at work, and in public places. That's why I like this Immune system booster smoothie. It's super delicious, easy to make, and so healthy. It's packed with vitamin C, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, minerals, and many other properties to support a healthy immune system.
- Kiwi: Contains more than 100% of the daily recommended intake of Vitamin C. They are also rich in antioxidants and other vitamins, which together stimulate the body's immune response, help eliminate free radicals within the body, reduce oxidative stress, and protect the body from inflammation and disease.
- Grapes: Are packed with flavonoids, which are potent antioxidants, vitamins, especially B6, C, and K, and minerals, all needed for immune boosting.
- Lime juice: Is an excellent source of vitamin C, which may help increase the production of white blood cells, protecting your body against infections and disease. Some studies have also shown that vitamin C can help shorten the duration and severity of colds.
- Yogurt: Contains probiotics, which can help keep the intestines healthy. Some studies suggest that probiotics may boost the immune system, enhance absorption of vitamins and minerals, help with weight management, and reduce cancer risk.
- Honey: Is used as an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant agent. It helps strengthen your immune system by defending your cells against free radical damage. When buying honey, look for the raw ones. The clearer the honey, the more processed they are.
- Ginger: Fresh ginger helps your body avoid germs and viruses like RSV. It can also slow down the growth of some bacteria like E.coli and Shigella.
See the recipe card for quantities.
How to make an Immune System Booster Smoothie
For this amazing smoothie, I selected flavorful and fresh ingredients that not only help boost your immune system but also taste delicious together. All you have to do is add everything to a blender and blend until smooth.
I selected all ingredients with their immune system booster properties and flavors in mind, but you can make adjustments.
- Honey - If you are vegan or can't use honey for any reason, you could substitute it for your sweetener of choice.
- Yogurt - I chose yogurt for its probiotic content. You can use any probiotic yogurt of choice or omit it if needed.
- Lime - You can sub it for lemon if you want.
- Green grapes and Kiwi - I don't recommend subbing any of these two ingredients as it would significantly change the outcome of this recipe.
- Ginger - Has excellent properties and gives a nice touch to this drink, but you can omit it if you prefer.
- Spinach: also has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, boosts the immune system, and has lots of vitamins. But, since it can have a distinct flavor in some countries, I'll leave it as an optional ingredient. I want this smoothie to be healthy but also tasty for most people.
Frequently Asked Question
Since this smoothie is full of vitamin C and antioxidants, you should consume it immediately, as they oxidize when exposed to water and air. Here's a great article about the degradation some active ingredients suffer when exposed to specific agents.
But, if you really can't drink it all and need to store it, you can do so by keeping it in a well-closed cup in the refrigerator.
You certainly can add green leaves such as spinach, collard greens, kale, etc. I didn't add any leaves to the main list of ingredients because I wanted to create a healthy smoothie with the most pleasant taste possible. If green leaves taste good to you, they'd be a great addition to this smoothie.

Who is Bruno Miguel Duarte Paixão?
Bruno Paixão is a referee of the Portuguese league that we realized immediately on which category of referees he was classified: in incompetence.
In one of the greatest robberies in Portuguese football was the game of Campomaiorense-Porto on 22th matchday of the Portuguese league, in 1999/2000. This game left a bitter taste to the fans of F.C. Porto
In that game four penalties needed to be whistled in favor of FC Porto, a completely clean goal by Jardel was canceled and innumerable aggressions from José Soares to Jardel, José Soares finished the game without a red card. That was a scandal.
Attempt at modesty in a locker room
This game demonstrated the lack of professionalism of this referee who was involved in controversies throughout his career both on and off the field, and was even accused by PSP agents(Public Security Officers [cops]) of indecent assault, as can be read in this news.

Goijarts was invited by the organisers to give a presentation on the paradox encountered by present-day students: they all want an excellent CV listing many extracurricular activities, but at the same time, the fact that student grants have been replaced with student loans and the fact that students are now pressured to complete their degrees in the time officially allotted to said degrees make this a very expensive proposition. “Burn-out is really becoming a thing among students. And only rich students can afford to carry out extracurricular activities on top of their degrees,” Goijarts stated. Her story was pleasantly specific after the occasionally unfocused discussions that preceded it.
To quote a former rector from Chicago: ‘A university is schools and departments, linked to each other by central heating’
Thankfully, the irony of holding a debate on universities’ position in society at Erasmus University College (which is hermetically closed to normal people and quite expensive) was not lost on the debaters. To University Council member Jiska Engelbert, it touched at the core of her argument: first she wished to consider on whose terms she was having the debate on universities. “Because tonight, as usual, the panel is completely white. Luckily, there is some variation as to gender and age, because I’m quite a bit younger than the other panellists,” Engelbert said, to the amusement of many people in the audience.
Willem Schinkel, too, first wanted to debate the points of departure of the debate itself. “No one knows what a university is, not even we ourselves. To quote a former rector of the University of Chicago: ‘A university is schools and departments, linked to each other by central heating.’ Another definition: universities supply students with sex, alumni with sport and employees with parking spots.” What Schinkel was trying to say was that no one has the foggiest. Therefore, he suggested that we first determine the exact nature of a university’s public duty. “As far as I’m concerned, it consists of four main tasks: conducting research that is not subject to market forces, providing accessible education, maintaining a knowledge archive and sharing knowledge with the people.”
In his presentation, the Vice Dean of RSM, Dirk van Dierendonck, tried to make a stand for the phenomenon of life-long learning. “Until recently, people in their late fifties simply disappeared from the job market. That is no longer the case. This presents us with opportunities. At RSM, we seek to serve this market – for instance, by providing MBA programmes.”
Pieter Duisenberg was treated to a slightly hostile audience, most likely because he used to be an MP for the conservative-liberal VVD party. He tried to break the ice by bringing up a traditionally leftist subject: the Sustainable Development Goals. According to Duisenberg, universities’ raison d’être is the work they carry out in order to achieve these goals. Emcee Robin van den Akker did not grant him much time to make his point. Unlike other panellists, Duisenberg was told to get to the point several times.
One of the things Duisenberg hopes to achieve in politics through lobbying is money invested in education no longer being regarded as a ‘black hole’, but rather as an investment ‘with a return on investment’. “We are seeing increased competition from countries such as Germany, Denmark and Asian countries, which make greater investments in education than we do. This constitutes a risk.” Duisenberg also believes digitisation, which allows Dutch students to ‘attend’ lectures given by foreign professors, poses a threat.
The other panellists did not much care for the former MP’s argument. “You are embracing the rat race,” was Engelbert’s summary of Duisenberg’s story. “I don’t even know where to begin,” said Schinkel, sighing. “You want us to compete with other countries? We are actually collaborating with them a lot. And German universities are not receiving a lot of money at all. In fact, spending on them has decreased significantly.”
Not enough time
The VSNU President felt he was not given enough time to clarify his point. “If I’d been given a little more time to explain things, you would agree with me,” he said to Engelbert. “You don’t know much about me if you think so,” Engelbert replied with self-mocking humour. There was not much time to enter into a debate. Duisenberg had to leave the debate before the evening was over.
The evening’s debate on the future of universities was part of a series of three debates. The next debate is scheduled to take place in February.

Cathy Sutherland creates jewellery that is elegant and unique, using the techniques of chasing and repoussé to create tactile forms and decorative designs in precious metals. Inspired by elements of the natural world, she is keen to capture the swirls of crashing waves, gentle cascading sand dunes, and the intricate details of flora and fauna.
Cathy creates wonderful textures in silver and gold by repetitively hammering the surface of the metal using steel punches and a specialist chasing hammer. Close examination reveals the hundreds of hammer marks that remain on the surface, celebrating the time and passion that Cathy has invested in every piece.
In her most recent “Whirlpool” collection, networks of flowing patterns cover the surface of the silver, which is often highlighted with gold details and precious coloured gemstones. Cathy has a passion for the techniques she uses and every piece is created by hand using traditional skills at her workshop in the heart of Sheffield.
