Restoring Families: Overcoming Abusive Relationships through Christ
Living Free Every Day®
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7 NLT
Thoughts for Today
Fear is a powerful emotion that is difficult to control. It can freeze us in place and make it hard for us to protect ourselves. It attacks our ability to trust. It compromises our ability to relax in relationships. It takes over our thought processes, and we have trouble focusing and learning.
We often repress intense fear. We push it down and cover it up with other emotions like anger, depression, and anxiety. If we grow up with fear as a major organizer of our emotional life, we have difficulty developing trusting relationships. When we do connect with people, we have trouble being natural and genuine.
Consider this ...
Are you plagued with fear? Today's scripture makes it clear that God is telling us that we can triumph over fear. He has given us a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline. He also tells us in 1 John 4:18 that perfect love drives away fear. God's love is perfect, and He loves you. As you grasp hold of that truth, you will be able to trust Him more. When you begin to understand how much He loves you, you will no longer experience that devastating fear.
Philippians 4:6 tells us specific steps to take to overcome fear:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (NIV)
Talk to God about everything. Believe that He loves you--and thank Him for His love. Only then will you be able to walk in peace, not fear. Remember that this is not a onetime event. Daily we need to give all our cares and fears to Him, and commit to trusting in His love.
Lord, thank you for loving me. Thank you for giving me a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline. Help me to trust you more, to accept your perfect love. I know that only then can I overcome fear. In Jesus' name ...
These thoughts were drawn from ...

We focus on the development of flexible miniaturized neural interfaces and implant. System integration and improvement of longevity is close to our hearts. Excellent infrastructure with a microsystems engi-neering cleanroom (RSC@IMTEK), an ISO 13485 certified implant manufacturing laboratory and a FIB-SEM to analyze the material-tissue interface allow us to design, develop and characterize all engineering aspects of neural implants. Developments range from multimodal tools for addressing fundamental neu-roscience questions to translational first-in-human studies using wearables and implantables. Recent research projects address questions on blood vessel compliance for more comprehensive blood pres-sure monitoring and modulation using bioelectronics medicine approaches, integration of optical modali-ties in flexible neural probes, evaluation of thin-film stability during electrical stimulation and investiga-tions on adaptations of control mechanisms of subjects after amputation using leg prostheses.

A study urns conducted to determine the best method of preparation of silage and freshly cut forage samples for the estimation of rumen degradability by the nylon bag technique. Three types of forage were evaluated: a grass silage, a fresh grass (ryegrass) and a fresh legume (white clover). For each forage, six preparation methods were compared: chopping fresh (FRS); chopping and macerating fresh (FMC); chopping, freezing, thawing and macerating (FRZ); freeze-drying (FD); low-temperature oven-drying (45°C, 72 h) (OVD); high-temperature oven-drying (160°C, 90 min) (DHD). Dried samples were hammer-milled (2·5-mm screen). Chemical composition and rumen degradability were affected by the method of preparation. Protein fractions were sensitive to drying method, and oven-drying reduced nitrogen (N) solubility and degradability as the severity of the heating was increased. OVD and DHD gave lower estimates of N and dry matter (DM) solubility and degradability than FD. The effect of drying method on DM degradability was to reduce solubility and effective degradability, calculated for an outflow rate of 0·033 per h, but not potential degradability.
Silage DM degradability was less affected than that of fresh forages. Freshly prepared samples (FRS, FMC, FRZ) gave lower estimates of N and DM solubility and degradability than FD, the differences being least with silage and FRZ, which was the most effective at rupturing plant structures of the FRS, FMC and FRZ methods. Of the six preparation methods, freeze-drying was the most effective preparation method. FRZ and OVD were less effective, but similar to each other. The small particles (calculated) produced by grinding dried samples may result in an overestimation of zero time losses and hence the degradability of the sample. These undesirable effects might be minimized by coarser grinding (4-mm screen) and correction for particulate matter loss.

World Food Day: Nourishing the World, Sustaining Our Future
World Food Day, celebrated annually on October 16th, is a global observance aimed at raising awareness about the importance of food security, eliminating hunger, and promoting sustainable agriculture. The day was established by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in 1945 and has since become a significant event on the international calendar. The theme for World Food Day 2023 is: Water is life, water is food. Leave no one behind. It serves as a poignant reminder of the inequalities in access to food resources and the urgent need to address the issues of hunger and malnutrition worldwide. This essay delves into the significance of World Food Day, the challenges it addresses, and the solutions necessary to ensure a food-secure world.
The Significance of World Food Day
World Food Day holds immense significance in the context of our global community. It is a day to acknowledge the fundamental human right to adequate and nutritious food. Food is not merely a commodity; it is a vital aspect of human existence. This day serves as a platform to remind us of the 820 million people who go to bed hungry every day, despite the fact that there is enough food produced worldwide to feed everyone. The celebration of this day emphasizes the need to rectify this imbalance and eradicate hunger from our world.
The United Nations, through FAO, established World Food Day with several key objectives in mind. These include promoting awareness about the issues of hunger and poverty, encouraging collaboration among governments, organizations, and individuals, and advocating for policies and programs that combat hunger and malnutrition. By recognizing this day, we can create a shared understanding of the challenges we face and inspire collective action to address them.
Challenges Addressed by World Food Day
- Hunger and Malnutrition: The primary challenge that World Food Day aims to tackle is hunger. Despite remarkable progress in recent decades, hunger remains a pressing global issue. Millions of people, particularly in developing countries, suffer from chronic undernutrition and food insecurity. Malnutrition, which includes both undernutrition and overnutrition, further compounds this problem. Access to healthy and balanced diets is still a challenge for many.
- Inequitable Food Distribution: Our planet produces enough food to feed every person, yet food distribution remains highly unequal. Wastage and inefficiencies in the food supply chain, as well as issues like food deserts and unequal access to resources, exacerbate this problem. World Food Day seeks to address these inequalities by promoting more equitable and efficient food systems.
- Climate Change and Agriculture: Climate change poses a significant threat to food security. Extreme weather events, changing precipitation patterns, and rising temperatures impact crop yields and food production. Sustainable agriculture practices that adapt to climate change are vital for ensuring a steady food supply. World Food Day serves as a reminder of the need for climate-resilient agriculture.
- Food Waste: A substantial portion of the food produced globally is wasted, contributing to both economic losses and food scarcity. World Food Day underscores the importance of reducing food waste and encouraging sustainable consumption patterns.
Solutions for a Food-Secure World
- Sustainable Agriculture: Transitioning to sustainable agriculture practices is essential for ensuring food security. Sustainable farming techniques, such as organic farming, crop rotation, and the use of precision agriculture, can help maximize food production while minimizing environmental harm.
- Food Distribution and Access: Promoting equitable distribution and access to food resources is crucial. Governments and organizations should work to eliminate food deserts, improve transportation infrastructure, and address issues related to food affordability and affordability.
- Education and Awareness: Raising awareness about the importance of healthy diets, nutrition, and sustainable food choices is vital. Educational programs and campaigns can empower individuals to make informed decisions about their food consumption.
- Climate-Resilient Agriculture: Farmers should adopt practices that make their agricultural systems more resilient to climate change. This includes planting drought-resistant crops, improving water management, and adopting agroforestry techniques to reduce soil erosion.
- Reducing Food Waste: Governments, businesses, and individuals can contribute to reducing food waste by implementing better storage and preservation practices, redistributing surplus food to those in need, and encouraging responsible consumption habits.
- Government Policies and International Cooperation: Governments play a pivotal role in developing policies and programs that promote food security. International cooperation is essential to address global food challenges, and it should be a key focus of World Food Day celebrations.
World Food Day serves as a poignant reminder of the persistent issues of hunger and malnutrition that plague our world. It is a call to action for individuals, governments, and organizations to come together and work toward a food-secure future. By addressing the challenges of hunger, inequitable food distribution, climate change, and food waste, we can make strides toward achieving a world where everyone has access to nutritious and sufficient food. The significance of World Food Day lies in its ability to mobilize global efforts to ensure that no one goes to bed hungry and that the right to food is upheld for all. It is a day of reflection, awareness, and, most importantly, a day of commitment to a future where food security is a reality for every individual.

Treatment Of Onycholysis Until It Feels Very Sore?
A few months ago my sister had a nail disease like Onycholysis, and almost all of her nails became like she wanted to peel from the skin, well recently I experienced something similar on my pinky finger that was sore, when I noticed the nail limit that should be down, a little little by little and sore, I don’t know what it’s because of, and how to deal with it, please help
Abnormalities in nails can arise due to several possibilities ranging from nail infections due to fungus, nail trauma, allergic reactions due to exposure to irritants such as soap, detergents and other irritants, or due to other health problems such as thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, flow disorders blood, infectious diseases, anemia and genetic factors or the effects of certain drugs can be the cause.
Onycholysis itself is a nail problem that can occur suddenly where the nail is detached from its appearance. Handling itself depends on what is the cause for it needs to be examined by a dermatologist in order to do the examination and proper handling. Try to keep the skin clean of the nail area, avoid exposure to allergens, keep nails dry and moist, and try to keep nails short so that trauma is not easy, you can also use protective gear such as gloves especially if doing work in contact with water or with irritants like soap or detergent.

AIDS Awareness Week events set for april 7-11
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. To bring renewed recognition to the global AIDS epidemic, the Purdue Student Union Board is sponsoring AIDS Awareness Week on April 7-11.
The week will feature a series of events designed to make Purdue students, faculty, staff and the community more aware of the issues related to HIV and AIDS.
A main attraction of the week will be the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt exhibit. An international memorial to those who have died of AIDS, the exhibit will run from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 7-11 in Purdue Memorial Union, Room 118. An opening ceremony for the exhibit will take place at noon on April 7 in the union's Great Hall.
The NAMES Project Foundation displays portions of the quilt worldwide to encourage a better understanding and response to the AIDS epidemic, to provide a positive means of expression for those grieving the death of a loved one and to raise funds for people living with HIV and AIDS.
The display will feature 10 3-by-6-foot panels, each commemorating the lives of people who have died from AIDS. The complete AIDS Memorial Quilt includes more than 42,000 panels from all 50 states and 40 foreign countries.
The NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. "Common Threads," a documentary film about the quilt, won an Academy Award in 1990.
Volunteers are needed to staff the quilt display at hourly time slots. Interested individuals should contact the Boiler Volunteer Network at (765) 494-8864, firstname.lastname@example.org.
Other events include:
April 8, 7 p.m. Purdue Memorial Union-North Ballroom Rebekka Armstrong, an HIV survivor, will talk about her life with HIV.
April 9, 6 p.m. Civil Engineering Building, Room 1252 The movie "And the Band Played On," which focuses on HIV and AIDS, will be shown, followed by a discussion led by Student Wellness Office staff.
April 10, 6:30 p.m. Beering Hall of Liberal Arts and Education, Room 2290 David A Sanders, a science professor at Purdue, will present a speech entitled "Hope For the Future, A Search for a Cure." Sanders will discuss the design of anti-HIV antivirals and gene therapy.
April 10, 7:30 p.m. Stewart Center, Room 313 A forum entitled "Involving Safer Sex" will be provided by the University of Kentucky's Peer to Peer intervention program staff. The forum is sponsored by Delta Lambda Phi, the Purdue Equality Alliance, ALLY, and the LesBiGay Network.
April 11, 8-10:30 p.m. Morton Community Center, 222 N. Chauncey Ave. "Naughty & Nice A Benefit Dance for the Damien Center" will take place.
The dance is sponsored by the Damien Center and Delta Lambda Phi. Proceeds will benefit the Damien Center, an Indianapolis based HIV/AIDS service organization that has operated in Indiana for more than a decade. Tickets, which will be sold at the door, are $5 for Purdue students and $7 for the public.
Brian Chew, PSUB director of the Ideas and Issues Committee, says he hopes the events convince the Purdue and Greater Lafayette communities that AIDS remains a critical national and global problem.
"According to BBC news, in just two decades the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has infected more than 42 million people," Chew says. "In 2002, 5 million people were newly infected with HIV. That's about 10 people every minute. Approximately 800,000 of them are children. The numbers are rising annually, and people need to be aware that AIDS is a real problem that affects the human race."

“I think she should come back next year,” Tamra, 51, told Us Weekly exclusively, noting that she keeps in touch with her former costar “once in a while.”
Heather, 49, joined the cast of RHOC in 2012 for season 7. She announced her departure from the series in 2017 after five seasons. The CUT Fitness owner also revealed she finally saw Heather and husband Terry Dubrow’s mansion — Dubrow Chateau— which was still under construction when the actress left the Bravo show.
“I did see Heather’s house once and I think it took about an hour to do a tour,” Tamra explained. “It’s beautiful. It’s big. … It’s everything Heather is.”
When asked who should get the boot to make room for Heather, Tamra hinted at Emily Simpson, who joined the cast for season 13.
“Maybe somebody that likes diamonds and things,” she told Us, seemingly referring to Emily’s opening tagline: “When you come from humble beginnings, you count your blessings … one diamond at a time.”
The reality TV personality also noted during the interview that she doesn’t really talk to Emily “too much.”
“I think the issue with me, it’s not so much what happened on the show, it was a lot of the things that she was doing behind our backs. A little sneaky,” she explained. “Outside of the show, just things that I’ve heard, things that she’s done. Her sister’s out there tweeting horrible things about me and [my husband] Eddie.”
She added: “I mean, I want to love Emily, she’s always nice to my face, but it’s even worse when someone’s so nice to your face then you’re hearing all these things are going on. You’re like, ‘Whoa, really?’ You call me, you text me, you tell me you love me. You’re friends with me, but then … It is what it is.”
In addition to Emily, Gina Kirschenheiter also joined the Bravo series for season 13. Tamra told Us that she thinks Gina is “the smartest one out of all of us” because of how the 34-year-old is handling her divorce offscreen.
“The youngest one is the smartest. She is really keeping it off the show and it’s really hard for the viewers in general, or even us in the cast, to even get connected with that story line because we don’t know Matt,” Tamra told Us. “We can only feel bad for our friend, but she’s not trashing him.”

Youth Piano Lessons
Keyboards and Midi Controllers
Keyboard skills are also essential to modern music recording. Once your child has basic keyboard skills, they can play all of the instruments in music editing software – which means they can start producing their songs! (Our teachers can show them the way.)
Pop and Classical Piano
Piano is a great starter instrument with potential for endless growth.
After learning a few basic chords, young musicians can start playing hundreds of their favorite pop songs, most of which are within reach in just a few lessons. And if they keep at it, they can accompany themselves or others, immerse themselves in the challenge of classical pieces, or use piano as a songwriting tool.
And once your child is comfortable, they can collaborate with singers at a showcase or join one of our free monthly jams!
For those who keep at it, a lifetime of joyful learning awaits. We have teachers to take you as far as you want to go comping from lead sheets, reading sheet music, and playing classical piano.
Whether your child is picking up piano for the first time or looking to take it to the next level, we have teachers to make the process fun and fruitful – and lots of performance opportunities for your child to shine!
Showcases and Recitals
We offer near-monthly opportunities to perform – everything from traditional teen recitals to acoustic showcases to full-band productions at major venues.
Beginning students find our recitals and acoustic showcases to be a supportive, non-intimidating way to get used to performing in front of people.
Our intermediate and advanced students love our big concerts at premier Denver venues such as the Hard Rock Cafe, The Oriental Theatre, the Clocktower Cabaret, and the Walnut Room. These expertly staged performances provide clients with real gig experience that they need to become full-fledged musicians, complete with a live audience, lighting and stage technicians, and professional producers and engineers.

A 23-year-old Brooklyn man was convicted today of committing a series of brutal attacks in Crown Heights in which he sexually assaulted three women and robbed two.
Erick Lewis accosted the women on separate occasions from January to September 2008, assaulting them inside their apartment buildings.
In one attack on January 17, 2008, Lewis followed a woman as to a laundry room in her building’s basement, assaulted her and attempted to coerce her into performing a sex act.
On August 17, 2008, shortly after midnight, Lewis accosted a woman inside the elevator of her apartment building, brandished a gun, and then sexually assaulted and robbed her.
Another attack followed less than a month later on Sept. 11, when Lewis again confronted a woman inside an elevator and forced her to perform a sex act.
In all of the attacks, Lewis either displayed a gun or threatened to use one.
After nearly a day of deliberations, a jury in Brooklyn Supreme Court convicted Lewis of a range of charges, including first degree rape, first degree criminal sex act, first degree sex abuse, and robbery.
Lewis will face up to 160 years in prison when he is sentenced on August 18.

The “Wild Woman” is a powerful archetype that has existed for centuries in mythology and folklore. She represents femininity’s untamed and primal aspect and embodies passion, intuition and creativity. In this blog post, we delve into the meaning of the “Wild Woman” and how she has been portrayed in different cultures throughout history.
The archetype of the “Wild Woman” in mythology
The “Wild Woman” archetype is often associated with goddesses such as Artemis, Hecate, and Lilith. These deities embody the fierce, independent, and nurturing aspects of femininity. In Greek mythology, Artemis is the goddess of hunting, the wild, and childbirth. She is associated with the moon and represents the power of intuition and inner wisdom. On the other hand, Hecate is considered the goddess of witchcraft and magic. She embodies the power of transformation and is associated with the underworld and the elements of fire and water. In Jewish folklore, Lilith is depicted as a strong and independent woman who refused to submit to Adam and was therefore banished from the Garden of Eden. She is often described as a demonic figure, representing the fear of female sexuality.
Another example of the “Wild Woman” archetype is found in Native American mythology. The Navajo legend of the “Changing Woman” tells the story of a woman with incredible power and knowledge. She embodies the power of creation and renewal and links humans and the divine. In African mythology, Oya is the goddess of storms, death and rebirth. She embodies the power of transformation and is associated with wind. Likewise, in Hindu mythology, Kali is the goddess of death and destruction. She is often depicted with a necklace of skulls and a tongue sticking out, symbolizing her power to consume negative energies.
The archetype of the “wild woman” in psychology
Psychologist Carl Jung believed that the “Wild Woman” represented the male psyche’s anima or unconscious feminine aspect. He held that men must integrate this aspect into themselves to become whole and balanced individuals. The archetype represents a deeply rooted, primal aspect of the human psyche, often depicted as a female figure associated with nature, wildness, instinct, untamedness, and creativity. The psychological function of this archetype may change over time, depending on cultural and social developments.
Today, the archetype of the “wild woman” can serve several psychological functions:
- Liberation from social norms
In a world where many people are pressured to conform to societal expectations and norms, the “wild woman” archetype can symbolize a release from these constraints. She embodies the idea that it is essential to break free from rigid conventions and pursue an authentic, vibrant, and independent way of life.
- Self-development and self-discovery
The “Wild Woman” can serve as a symbol of the search for individual identity and self-realization. She reminds us of the importance of recognizing and living out one’s inner instincts, passions, and creative potential to live a fulfilled life.
- Integration of the Shadow Self
In analytical psychology, Jung emphasizes the importance of integrating the “shadow self” – those aspects of our personality that we have repressed or rejected. The “Wild Woman” can embody these repressed parts that need to be brought back into consciousness to achieve personal wholeness.
- Connection to Nature
At a time when many people are alienated from nature, the “Wild Woman” archetype can serve to restore connection to the natural world. She reminds us that humans are an inseparable part of nature and that neglecting this connection can lead to disharmony.
- Strengthening feminine aspects
The Wild Woman archetype can help strengthen and celebrate feminine qualities often suppressed in a society dominated by male norms. She symbolizes the power, intuition, emotionality and creativity of the feminine.
The meaning and function of archetypes such as the “Wild Woman” can vary individually in psychological interpretation. People can experience and interpret this archetype differently, depending on their experiences, cultural backgrounds, and life circumstances.
The archetype of the “wild woman” in modern feminist literature
The “wild woman” archetype has also been explored in modern feminist literature. In her book “Women Who Run with the Wolves,” Clarissa Pinkola Estes takes an in-depth look at the symbolism and meaning of the “Wild Woman” archetype.
In this book, Estes combines psychological insights, fairy tales, myths, and personal stories to interpret the archetype in-depth. She argues that this archetype is essential for women to reconnect with their inner power and creativity. Here are some key points of her interpretation:
- Primal femininity and instinct
Estes emphasizes that the “Wild Woman” embodies the primal, instinctual and wild aspect of femininity. She is a powerful and independent force, able to make decisions and follow her inner knowing.
- Connection to nature
The “Wild Woman” is often associated with nature. Estes emphasizes the importance of connecting to the natural world and argues that this connection is essential to women’s mental health and well-being.
- Healing and restoration
Estes describes how the stories of women running with the wolves metaphorize the healing journey. She encourages women to acknowledge, accept, and heal their inner hurts and traumas. The “Wild Woman” symbolizes strength and resilience that enables women to move forward with their healing.
- Creativity and Intuition
The “Wild Woman” archetype represents the ability to be creative and intuitive. Estes emphasizes listening to one’s inner voice and intuition to live a fulfilling and authentic life.
- The archetype of the female soul
Estes presents the “Wild Woman” as an archetype anchored in the deepest layers of the female psyche. She is a universal presence that is recognized in different cultures and times.
- Liberation from social limitations
Estes encourages women to free themselves from societal expectations and norms that may limit their true nature. The “Wild Woman” symbolizes the ability to live outside conventional boundaries and authentically express oneself.
Overall, Clarissa Pinkola Estes uses fairy tales and stories to explore the different facets of the “Wild Woman” archetype and encourage women to discover and unleash their inner wildness and power. Their interpretation aims to help women connect more deeply with themselves, nature, and community and to acknowledge their inner wisdom.
The Wild Woman Sisterhood
The Wild Woman Sisterhood was inspired by the ideas in Clarissa Pinkola Estes’ book. It is a movement, a community, and an online platform focused on helping women discover and unleash their inner strength, wisdom, and authenticity. This movement, The Wild Woman Sisterhood, provides a space for women to connect to explore and celebrate their inner wildness.
The movement uses modern technology, mainly social media and online platforms, to unite women worldwide. These platforms share inspirational messages, stories, artwork, poetry, workshops and resources that focus on self-love, self-actualization, spirituality, femininity, creativity and personal growth. The idea is to encourage women to find and share their unique expressions while being inspired by the strength and wisdom of other women.
The Wild Woman Sisterhood aims to help women break free from societal expectations, embrace their inner wildness, and rewrite their own stories. It is about creating a community where women can empower, support and inspire each other as they embark on their journeys of self-discovery and self-development.
The archetype of the “wild woman” in erotic literature.
In literary works, especially those dealing with sensuality, eroticism, and human relationships, the “wild woman” archetype may symbolize sexual freedom, passion, and authenticity. This archetype often embodies an untamed, sensual energy beyond conventional norms. Here are some ways the archetype can be present in contemporary erotic literature:
- Sexual Freedom
The “wild woman” can appear as an embodiment of sexual freedom and self-determination. Characters who embody this archetype might explore their needs and desires without being constrained by social taboos or norms.
- Sensuality and passion
The “Wild Woman” can be a source of intense sensual and sexual passion. Her connection to nature and her instincts can lead her to enjoy her sensuality and express her sexual energy with power.
- Intuition and Authenticity
This archetype may also emphasize the idea of authenticity in sexual relationships. Characters might listen to their intuition to understand their desires and needs and then express them without shame or restraint.
- Connection to Nature
The “wild woman” can be used in erotic literature to highlight the connection between sexuality and nature. She could be presented as a force in tune with natural rhythms, portraying sexuality as raw and powerful.
- Feminine power
In erotic literature, the “Wild Woman” may symbolize feminine power and strength, especially in sexual relationships. She may take control of her own experiences and leadership in intimate moments.
The “Wild Woman” archetype is a compelling and complex symbol that has existed in mythology and folklore for centuries. She represents femininity’s untamed and primal aspect and embodies passion, intuition and creativity. The “wild woman” has been depicted in various cultures throughout history and is often associated with goddesses and deities such as Artemis, Hecate and Lilith. She has also been explored in modern literature and psychology and represents an essential aspect of the human psyche. If we as writers understand the symbolism and meaning of the Wild Woman archetype, we can better understand ourselves and our characters.


NASA SEEKS PROPOSALS FOR TECHNOLOGY FLIGHT DEMONSTRATIONS AND INFORMATION ABOUT SUBORBITAL FLIGHT SERVICES
WASHINGTON — NASA is seeking proposals from researchers interested in testing new technologies during suborbital flights. The agency also is requesting information from commercial suborbital reusable launch vehicle providers and commercial payload integrators about carrying the technology payloads.
The selected payloads will fly on aircraft that provide parabolic flight trajectories and on suborbital reusable launch vehicles capable of flying to altitudes above 62 miles. The flights will expose the payloads to reduced gravity and near-zero gravity environments.
“During these flights, researchers will be able to test their technologies in a range of microgravity environments and share their data with NASA — data NASA can use when planning future missions,” said Bobby Braun, NASA chief technologist at the agency’s headquarters in Washington.
The solicitation is being made by NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program, which is designed to foster development of a commercial reusable suborbital transportation industry while developing new technologies and improving microgravity research. When available, such reusable vehicles will provide lower-cost, more frequent, and more reliable access to space.
Technology flights are expected to reduce risks associated with emerging technologies and procedures, and overall space operations in future missions, by demonstrating applications in a relevant environment.
The solicitation for suborbital flights is open until Dec. 31, 2014. Applications for the first round of flights are due by Jan. 31, 2011. Responses to the request for information about services of commercial suborbital reusable launch vehicle providers are due Jan. 20, 2011. Participation in both activities is open to all categories of organizations.
The Flight Opportunities Program, part of NASA’s Office of the Chief Technologist, integrates the existing Commercial Reusable Suborbital Research and Facilitated Access to the Space Environment for Technology programs. The Flight Opportunities Program is managed at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, Calif.
The announcement of opportunity can be viewed at: http://go.usa.gov/rlq

On the Fiftieth Year of the Republic India, An Act which provide for the registration and better protection of geographical indications relating to goods enacted by Parliament, It extends to the whole of India. This Act is called, “The Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999”.
A geographical indication is one of the seven rights that are being conferred on the creators under Intellectual Property rights.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) defines that “A geographical indication is a sign used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities, a reputation or characteristics that are essentially attributable to that place of origin”.
The Egyptian Civilization can be traced back for the growing roots of GIs because in order to indicate the origin of the bricks they used to mark the bricks. Not only this in ancient Greece, Thasian wine had demand since it came from island of Thasos in Macedonia.
Tuscany, Champagne, Basmati Rice etc. are some of the typical examples of Geographical Indications. There are so many agricultural products that attain quality and taste due to the place of production and climatic conditions such as soil, water etc. These products have got the value as commercial assets and these are reputed internationally.
The geographical indication can be used by any person on his product if that product conforms to applicable standards of the good where that geographical indication belongs.
As per the (Indian) Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 “Geographical Indication”, in relation to goods, means an indication which identifies such goods as agricultural goods, natural goods or manufactured goods as originating, or manufactured in the territory of a country, or a region or locality in that territory, where a given quality, reputation or another characteristic of such goods is essentially attributable to its geographical origin and in case where such goods are manufactured goods one of the activities of either the production or of processing or preparation of the goods concerned takes place in such territory, region or locality as the case may be.
By registering a geographical indication in India, the rights holder can prevent unauthorized use of the registered geographical indication by others by initiating infringement action by way of a civil suit or criminal complaint.
“Creativity is the most productive and expensive fruit of human mind, thus every effort is being made to keep this fruit healthy and free from insects of plagiarism”
Keeping the fruit of creativity fresh forever and for the sake of economic safety, a legal shed of GI rights is being circulated.
After possessing GI Status, the brand name of the product gets developed that give rise to prices, exports and also protects farmers/artisans against undue competition given by phony products in the market.
Darjeeling tea, Kanchipuram silk saree, Kolhapuri slippers, Meerut scissors are some of the examples of GIs in India. GI is not an exclusive right of the owner but collectively enjoyed by a group of producers, community or even by a nation.
Violation of GI right is a criminal offense in India and it is a punishable offense of six months prison and fine which may be extended to three years. Being a cognizable offense, the Police may conduct search and seizure without any warrant. Thus it protects producer’s interest, boosts healthy competition in the market and safeguards consumers against misleading & phony products.
India which is decorated with diverse culture, tradition, and soil can be benefitted to a larger extent with the idea of GIs. No doubt, various challenges are still there which makes the implementation of GIs a hard nut to crack. Thousands of goods will qualify for GIs by virtue of huge cultural, ethnic, social and food diversities. Producers of such products are small households and small units often in the same area. Hence, it is often difficult to organize them into groups or communities and apply for a GI sign. People are not fully aware of this wonderful legal sword of intellectual property right which has marvelous potential to make their economic battle much easier and convenient.
Most of the associations often think whether it is worthwhile to go for geographical indication protection.
The prime purpose of the geographical indications act is to provide legal protection to geographical indications which encourages the marketers to expand their business worldwide and its boosts exports. It helps in the economic prosperity of the producers.
A geographical indication is represented by a GI tag. The protection of the GI tag prevents misuse of a registered Geographical Indication. The producer has a legal right to charge anyone not belonging to the GI region trying to use their GI tag and save his reputation from being damaged. The farmers selling products of a given region have to face less competition from fake people who sell phony products. The protection of geographical indications builds a reputation for the GI product throughout the world. More and more people notice the various GI products from various regions which in turn motivates them to visit those places for accessing those products.
This helps in the growth of the tourism industry and promotes entrepreneurship. The process of manufacturing or only traditional knowledge which has developed over a period of time, throughout which the locals have put their effort, must be rewarded in the context of the contemporary market economy. Article 37 of the International Conference on Intellectual property has declared overtly that the skill and heritage of any local community must be protected from unfair competition and should be adequately paid.
The requirement for useful marketing and trading tool to compete with buck products in the global market is identical for all the producers of traditional quality products with a specific geographical origin.

Sheffield Doc/Fest has released details about its 2022 leadership team, highlighted by its interim CEO.
Clare Stewart, former festival director of the BFI London Film Festival, BFI Flare and the Sydney Film Festival, is joining Sheffield Doc/Fest in the role. She’ll steer next year’s edition of the festival, and work with the organization’s board and senior team on a long-term strategy for the event.
Meanwhile, Sheffield Doc/Fest also announced on Tuesday (October 26) that Academy Award-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Senna, Amy) will be the festival’s first guest curator. He’ll personally select some sections of the screenings program, and work with the Sheffield Doc/Fest team on events, talks and other initiatives.
“Clare’s track-record inspiring and delivering change in the international film festival arena is exemplary and we are confident she will make a positive impact on the Festival’s future as well as continue to support our commitment to nurturing local talent,” said Sheffield Doc/Fest chair Alex Cooke, in a news release.
“Asif is one of the world’s great filmmakers and documentary voices and he returns to Sheffield Doc/Fest after opening the 2019 festival with Diego Maradona and delivering a BAFTA Masterclass the same year.”
The festival is also recruiting for a senior programmer to work with Stewart on the overall film selection for the 2022 event.
The news follows a tumultuous summer for Sheffield Doc/Fest. In August, former festival director Cintia Gil left her position citing artistic differences, a statement from the festival said at the time. Sylvia Bednarz was appointed the interim managing director. A week after gil’s departure, some Sheffield DocFest programmers released a letter saying they were “silently” let go, and they called for Sheffield Doc/Fest to clarify the artistic differences that led to Gil’s departure.

Perinatal & Infant Oral Health
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that all pregnant women receive oral healthcare and counseling during pregnancy. Research has shown evidence that periodontal disease can increase the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight. Talk to your doctor or dentist about ways you can prevent periodontal disease during pregnancy.
Additionally, mothers with poor oral health may be at a greater risk of passing the bacteria which causes cavities to their young children. Mothers should follow these simple steps to decrease the risk of spreading cavity-causing bacteria:
- Visit your dentist regularly.
- Brush and floss on a daily basis to reduce bacterial plaque.
- Proper diet, with the reduction of beverages and foods high in sugar & starch.
- Use a fluoridated toothpaste recommended by the ADA and rinse every night with an alcohol-free, over-the-counter mouth rinse with .05 % sodium fluoride in order to reduce plaque levels.
- Don't share utensils, cups, or food that can cause the transmission of cavity-causing bacteria to your children.
- Use of xylitol chewing gum (4 pieces per day by the mother) can decrease a child’s caries rate.
Your Child's First Dental Visit-Establishing A "Dental Home"
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age. Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
The Dental Home is intended to provide a place other than the Emergency Room for parents.
You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive. If old enough, your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions. The less to-do concerning the visit, the better.
It is best if you refrain from using words around your child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as pull, drill, or hurt. Pediatric dental offices make a practice of using words that convey the same message, but are pleasant and non-frightening to the child.
When Will My Baby Start Getting Teeth?
Teething, the process of baby (primary) teeth coming through the gums into the mouth, is variable among individual babies. Some babies get their teeth early and some get them late. In general, the first baby teeth to appear are usually the lower front (anterior) teeth and they usually begin erupting between the age of 6-8 months.
See "Eruption of Your Child’s Teeth" for more details. Dr. Jessica Marn wrote an interactive reference book " Charlotte wants to be a Pediatric Dentist ".
Baby Bottle Tooth Decay (Early Childhood Caries)
One serious form of decay among young children is baby bottle tooth decay. This condition is caused by frequent and long exposures of an infant’s teeth to liquids that contain sugar. Among these liquids are milk (including breast milk), formula, fruit juice and other sweetened drinks.
Putting a baby to bed for a nap or at night with a bottle other than water can cause serious and rapid tooth decay. Sweet liquid pools around the child’s teeth giving plaque bacteria an opportunity to produce acids that attack tooth enamel. If you must give the baby a bottle as a comforter at bedtime, it should contain only water. If your child won't fall asleep without the bottle and its usual beverage, gradually dilute the bottle's contents with water over a period of two to three weeks.
After each feeding, wipe the baby’s gums and teeth with a damp washcloth or gauze pad to remove plaque. The easiest way to do this is to sit down, place the child’s head in your lap or lay the child on a dressing table or the floor. Whatever position you use, be sure you can see into the child’s mouth easily.
Tongue Piercing - Is It Really Cool?
You might not be surprised anymore to see people with pierced tongues, lips or cheeks, but you might be surprised to know just how dangerous these piercings can be.
There are many risks involved with oral piercings, including chipped or cracked teeth, blood clots, blood poisoning, heart infections, brain abscess, nerve disorders (trigeminal neuralgia), receding gums or scar tissue. Your mouth contains millions of bacteria, and infection is a common complication of oral piercing. Your tongue could swell large enough to close off your airway!
Common symptoms after piercing include pain, swelling, infection, an increased flow of saliva and injuries to gum tissue. Difficult-to-control bleeding or nerve damage can result if a blood vessel or nerve bundle is in the path of the instrument.
So follow the advice of the American Dental Association and give your mouth a break – skip the mouth jewelry.
Tobacco - Bad News In Any Form
Tobacco in any form can jeopardize your child’s health and cause incurable damage. Teach your child about the dangers of tobacco.
Smokeless tobacco, also called spit, chew or snuff, is often used by teens who believe that it is a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes. This is an unfortunate misconception. Studies show that spit tobacco may be more addictive than smoking cigarettes and may be more difficult to quit. Teens who use it may be interested to know that one can of snuff per day delivers as much nicotine as 60 cigarettes. In as little as three to four months, smokeless tobacco use can cause periodontal disease and produce pre-cancerous lesions called leukoplakias.
If your child is a tobacco user you should watch for the following that could be early signs of oral cancer:
- A sore that won’t heal.
- White or red leathery patches on the lips, and on or under the tongue.
- Pain, tenderness or numbness anywhere in the mouth or lips.
- Difficulty chewing, swallowing, speaking or moving the jaw or tongue; or a change in the way the teeth fit together.
Because the early signs of oral cancer usually are not painful, people often ignore them. If it’s not caught in the early stages, oral cancer can require extensive, sometimes disfiguring, surgery. Even worse, it can kill.
Help your child avoid tobacco in any form. By doing so, they will avoid bringing cancer-causing chemicals in direct contact with their tongue, gums and cheek.

Knowing the trends in fast-casual dining must be a top priority for restaurateurs. As the fast-casual space evolved over recent decades, the fast-casual restaurant digital ordering empire is now connected, digital, and reliant on sustainability. To stay successful, restaurateurs should take the top trends in this space and how they will impact their strategies into consideration.
Fast Casual Restaurants Must Focus More on the Guest Experience
Guest experiences have traditionally centered around food. But, in today’s era, the trends in fast-casual dining experiences allude to much more than a simple dining area. It’s a place where corporate meetings occur, and it’s a space where people congregate. Modern restaurants should invest in technologies to create a conducive, enjoyable space, which may include tableside tablets with games, kiosks for ordering, and of course, free Wi-Fi.
Fast Casual Delivery Is Essential
Delivery is also changing the game when it comes to fast-casual dining. All restaurants need a delivery strategy. However, this strategy must also include a slew of providers—such as Grubhub, UberEats, and Favor. Failure to work with third-party delivery services will leave money on the table.
Mobile Order Ahead Continues to Grow in Demand
More customers also expect mobile order-ahead capabilities. This is especially true in today’s climate where touching menus and sharing items between guests is downright blasphemous. Mobile order-ahead is the only way to go. Additionally, it reduces the overhead of producing and maintaining physical menus, giving customers access to the menu from the safety and security of their mobile devices.
Sustainable Materials Are a New Standard
Modern customers also want to visit places that engage in fair trade and sustainable food sourcing practices. As explained by Rachel Jenkins of Webstaurant Store Blog:
“Increasingly, consumers want to know where their food is coming from and the ethical impact it has on the environment and labor around the world. Fast-casual restaurants can expect consumers to demand food transparency on their menus. This includes where the food was sourced from, calorie counts, and allergen warnings. Products deemed “fair trade” have been bought from producers at a fair price, often in developing countries. Common fair-trade food items include bananas, honey, coffee, and tea.”
Incentivized Digital Ordering Is Mission Critical to Increasing Average Check Size
Incentivized digital food ordering includes the use of social media and the company’s online footprint to give customers a reason to reorder. Such tactics inevitably contribute to higher check sizes and encourage repeat visits—chief trends in fast-casual dining. As reiterated by a past Tacit client:
“Digital investment opportunities sold us pretty heavily in the fact that if you can get a consumer to not order through a phone, ordering through a digital device instead, you will see a higher check size. And we have. We’ve seen a considerable check size lift when you compare our call-in orders to our online orders. Furthermore, the one big trend is that digital ordering is still growing. All the time it’s growing, and here to stay. It’s on the up every month, every year. The percentage grows and the numbers grow, building a better case for reaching the digital consumer.”
Protein Alternatives & Shorter Food Prep Times Retain Customers
Today’s customers also expect alternative options, especially when it comes to meat. Restaurateurs must offer online meat alternative options, and they need to do it faster. In other words, they need to cut the food prep and cooking time to a fraction of its current time. In fact, the timeliness of food is now more important than value and quality. Meanwhile, contactless ordering and delivery have reshaped the standards—creating a center of food only and minimal human contact between patrons and staff.
Align Your Restaurant With the Trends in Fast Casual Dining With the Right Technology Partner
The top trends in fast-casual ordering reflect a fluidic balance between traditionally fast-casual experiences and the sit-down and dine-in restaurant powered by digital food ordering capabilities. Fast-casual spaces are meeting venues and opportunities to connect with others. When restaurateurs finally realize these facts and align their brands to the trends in fast-casual dining, profitability will grow. Visit Tacit online to get started.


Lubrication Road Trip
Every year, thousands of vacationers hit the open road on the most North American of traditions; the road trip. The well planned road trip can be something the whole family can enjoy, but a poorly planned trip can become disastrous. Lubrication improvements are much the same. Just like a road trip, the “journey” from poor lubrication to preferred practices can be successful and enjoyable. But without careful planning it can become an exercise in futility where nothing ever gets done, and nothing ever changes. Follow these tips to get everything squared away and head out; the open road awaits.

For the month of September, I’ve been having a blast creating with the Come to Gather Suite. These products have sparked so many card ideas. Here’s one more…
This rustic style is one of my favorites. I’m always happy to see a woodgrain pattern in Designer Series Paper collections and I know it will be one that I will reach for often as it provides such a great background. The pattern on this card is from the Come to Gather DSP.
The card base is Whisper White thick card stock with a mat of Early Espresso card stock. The next layer is the woodgrain DSP. I cropped a Stitched Rectangle and glued it directly to the DSP.
After stamping the large leaf image using the Gather Together stamp set and cutting it with the Gathered Leaves dies, I used Stampin’ Blends to color them. All the colors I used are listed in the Product List at the end of this post. I mounted them on the stitched rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a Linen Thread bow.
The Early Espresso banner is stamped and heat embossed with a sentiment from the Vibrant Vases stamp set. I finished the card off with a few pearls that I colored with a brown Sharpie.
The inside is embellished with another large leaf, which I stamped off 3x in Early Espresso ink. The sentiment is from the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set available in the Holiday Catalog. Stamping the leaf and sentiment in the corner allows room for a personal note.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Come to Gather Suite of products and really feel like I’ve gotten so much use from it. I also know that this will be a set that will continue to live in my collection well past this season.
FREE Come to Gather tutorials…I will be sending out 3 free tutorials all this month featuring the Come to Gather suite from the Holiday Catalog for any order of $40 or more (after tax and shipping). Each tutorial will include full color photos and clear step by step instructions for creating 3 very different cards using these products. These tutorials will not appear on the blog and will only be available to those who place an order. Along with the tutorials, I will be sending another completed card created with the Come to Gather Suite of products for you to keep or send. You can shop HERE on my online store.

America’s last slave ship could offer a case for reparationsBreaking News
tags: African American history, Race, reparations, Clotilda, slave ships
Alabama steamship owner Timothy Meaher financed the last slave vessel that brought African captives to the United States, and he came out of the Civil War a wealthy man.
His descendants, with land worth millions, are still part of Mobile society’s upper crust.
The people whom Meaher enslaved, however, emerged from the war with freedom but little else. Census forms that documented Meaher’s postwar riches list them as laborers, housewives, and farmers with nothing of value. Many of their descendants today hold working-class jobs.
Now, the history of Meaher and the slave ship Clotilda may offer one of the more clear-cut cases for slavery reparations, with identifiable perpetrators and victims.
While no formal push for reparations has begun, the subject has been bubbling up quietly among community members since earlier this year, when experts said they found the wreckage of the Clotilda in muddy waters near Mobile. Some say too many years have passed for reparations; others say the discovery of the ship makes the timing perfect.
Many Clotilda descendants say reconciliation with the Meahers would suffice, perhaps a chance to discuss an intertwined history. Others hope the family helps with ambitious plans to transform a downtrodden community into a tourist attraction. Some want cash; some want nothing.

If you thought the ritual of writing shaming, embarrassing things on passed-out drunk people was relegated to college parties, you’d be mistaken. Now two major ad agencies in Japan are doing virtually the same thing, but for a good cause.
In partnership with Yaocho, one of the biggest bar chains in Tokyo, Ogilvy & Mather and Geometry Global have created a campaign aimed at discouraging Japanese citizens from getting so blitzed that they pass out and sleep in the streets. And what better way to dissuade such behavior than creating a shaming, public spectacle out of those who fail to excercise better judgement?
Such unfortunate, inhibriated individuals are marked with the hashtag #NOMISUGI, which translates to “too drunk,” and surrounded by a square of white tape. All over Japan, passersby have been Instagram-ing images of these human billboards, creating a viral PSA of sorts. While we agree with AdWeek that it’s difficult to tell whether these individuals truly draped themselves so horrendously on subway staircases and on sidewalks or whether the scenes have been staged, the campaign still sends a clear message: Behave, or risk becoming our next literal poster child for poor decision making.
Just some food for thought to get your weekend off to a somewhat-honorable start…

Mel Tormé sang "You’re Driving Me Crazy" at the Blackhawk Club in Chicago when he was only four years old. Many years later, as a Musicraft 78-rpm single, it marked the beginning of his solo ballad career. This 2-CD compilation includes a stirring performance of the same song made in August 1990 at the Concord Pavilion. The Velvet Fog could caress a melody. He could also massage it, turn it upside down, fast-forward the bridge, and introduce his accompanists clearly as the lyrics ricocheted around a concert hall. Tormé would mix Johann Sebastian Bach or Frederick Delius into a set comfortably without hesitation. From previously issued Concord albums, this retrospective includes a variety of songs that Tormé recorded between April 1982 and July 1996. Sadly, the singer suffered a stroke August 8, 1996 and passed away last June.
Mel Tormé could always capture and hold your interest when he teamed with pianist George Shearing. Their 1982 performance of "Lullaby of Birdland" opens with Shearing singing the tune several times over in slow dramatic fashion. They then turn up the heat as Tormé rips into one of his spontaneous adventures. From a bossa nova arrangement of "The Carioca" to an oozing "Stardust" the singer is presented from all angles. Presenting his vocal technique as if he were an additional band instrumentalist, Tormé scat sings and trades fours with tenor saxophonist Frank Wess on "Sent For You Yesterday and Here You Come Today." Highly recommended, Concord’s compilation has the singer in good company with the spotlight on his remarkable career.
Track Listing: Hi-Fly; Born to be Blue; Lullaby of Birdland; Stardust; Love is Just Around the Corner; This Time the Dream

Minnesota Orchestra's ensemble played with precision and clarity, but Chorale soloists were too restrained.
Osmo Vänskä has never made his home in the opera house. Nor is the Baroque period his specialty. As a result, his first "Messiah" with Minnesota Orchestra, heard Wednesday morning at Orchestra Hall, was a decidedly mixed bag.
Handel's oratorio can be a tough nut to crack because it is a dramatic work with no narrative to propel the action. But Vänskä seemed out of tune with the drama, ignoring the work's three-act structure (organized around Christ's Nativity, the crucifixion and the resurrection), by placing the intermission in the middle of the crucifixion section.
Throughout, he tended to regard the arias and choruses as discrete musical numbers rather than as part of a dramatic whole. And his conducting lacked a degree of forward propulsion, particularly in the recitatives.
In an effort to approximate Baroque performance practice with a modern orchestra, Vänskä conducted much reduced forces, an ensemble roughly the size of Handel's. This showed off the precision of the instrumentalists, revealing with clarity the inner voices.
Minnesota Chorale sang with a crisp, clean sound. But their large forces were so restrained that the sopranos occasionally sounded anemic.
Things got off to a good start stylistically with a cadenza in the tenor's opening recitative, "Comfort, ye." The elaborate decoration of the vocal lines added a needed level of excitement to the performance. The four soloists had the requisite technique, but none had particularly engaging voices.
Though countertenor Brian Asawa's striking high notes rang through the hall, in the middle and especially the lower registers, where most of the role lies, his voice was thin and threadbare. His "He was despised" lacked the deep reservoir of lamentation that a good contralto can bring to it.
Tenor Thomas Cooley had a problem negotiating between registers and sang too much of the role in an unpleasant head voice. Klara Ek spent most of her time trying to hold her small fluttery soprano together. She brought no ecstasy to "I know that my Redeemer liveth." But the fault was also with Vänskä's tempos.
Baritone Philip Cutlip sang "The trumpet shall sound" with the most passion and conviction of the day. But his woolly baritone and aspirated coloratura undermined his performance.

Charley Walters of the St. Paul Pioneer Press throws it down:
"Don’t be surprised if the New York Mets, and not the Yankees, end up with Johan Santana for $20 million a year after the Twins’ Cy Young Award winner becomes a free agent after the 2008 season."
Who knows what Santana could do pitching half his games in Shea Stadium (one season there, at least). I think it’s impossibly early to call any kind of Santana derby, but maybe Walters just wants to send half of New York into a frenzy. If Santana does reach free agency, I’m sure all the major big-budget teams will have interest. He’s only the best pitcher in baseball.
Just for fun: PECOTA says Santana will be worth $21,800,000 for the 2009 season.
Of course, this story from January 29th should not be ignored. The Twins will approach Santana about a contract extension, and Santana is willing to work something out.

The way to stay healthy and disease-free for the rest of your life. If you think it’s not feasible, then you’ve already overcome your purpose. But if you think it’s possible, then I would like to tell you that it’s can happen, and it’s happening. I will tell you and explain how you can make it happen for you, as it’s for me and many others. Listen to me carefully, we’re healthy by design and ill by default! Living a healthy lifestyle is a matter of choice we make daily from the things we do, the food that we eat and drink, and the total life we live.
I am going to demonstrate how you can live a lively, vibrantly healthy life. The way to live your entire life and never get sick, and just how to do all this without surgery or drugs. The way to look like you’ve discovered the secret of the fountain of youth. If we don’t understand the reason behind something, it nearly impossible to repair it. So, we’ve got t0 first explore what’s making us so ill, and I am sure a few reasons which are making us ill might surprise you.
To put it in the very basic and state, there are just two reasons why a person becomes sick. You”grab” something, meaning, your body picks up a germfree, normally a bacteria or a virus. That will happen because something has gone wrong on your systems, causing some imbalance. Something isn’t working as it should, and a disease or an illness grows. Cases are cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, acid reflux, arthritis, etc..
Do not forget that our focus is living healthy, so today, let’s dig a bit deeper into both of these causes of illnesses and diseases. And I’ll begin with the primary cause of grabbing something. We mentioned before that’s either a bacteria or a germ causing the issue. But look at this fact, the air is filled with these little and many times invisible creatures. Have you ever ask why a few people in exactly the exact same environment where others who pick up the germ and they’re fine!
Do not tell me everyone is composed differently, and you’ll quickly understand why this argument can’t stand the test of daily. I said earlier that we’re healthy by design, meaning, our bodies are designed to fight off those germs and germs which are bombarding us daily. That inbuilt apparatus is known as the Immune System that has two basic functions that are very important to the survival of the individual. The Immune System is for the identification of all sorts of micro-organisms and overseas bodies that are potentially harmful to the person.
The Immune System is also for the destruction of those micro-organisms, substances or foreign bodies. Our Immune System could be weakened from Various ways, and these are some of the most common: A. Under or malnourishment that’s a deficiency of essential nutrients such as vitamins and a few trace elements. C. Chemotherapy that comes in the form of anti-cancer medication E. Dieting contains the foods that contribute in special ways to the proper functioning of this Intricate Immune F. AIDS: Is the Immune System deficiency brought on by a viral attack on your body’s defense mechanisms.
Let me remind you of those 2 reasons why people get ill: You capture something and your body can’t fight it off, as a result, your body gives in to the germs. Your body develops something is genetically weak regions. In both of the above cases, the causes are the same. once we consider those two basic causes of illnesses, we can conclude that all sicknesses come from one or a combination of four items. This is exactly what Kevin Trudeau in one of his books called: “Natural Cures They Don’t Want You To Know About” said about why we get ill.
These are the four fundamental reasons Kevin give for all sicknesses: People get sick because they have a lot of toxins in their bodies were suffering from nutritional deficiencies, meaning that our cells aren’t getting enough nutrients in their proper proportions. We’re exposed to and negatively influenced by Electromagnetic Chaos (EMC).
