Following the The Olive Diet for Exceptional Constitution

The Constitution
by fedira

If you decide to follow this form of diet there are a few principal things you need to remember. If you don’t follow them, then you are not truly following the Mediterranean style diet.

First and for most, the Mediterranean diet emphasizes that you get an abundance of exercise. This is not a diet where you can simply absorb things and never move a muscle. The blueprint to higher quality constitution for anyone is to get scores of exercise. It doesn’t matter what group of exercise you choose, just that you start moving. Walking is a great first step, needs no equipment, can be done alone or with friends, and everyone already understands how to do it, so there is no learning curve. Do what you can at first, and then slowly add more difficulty: walk at a faster pace, walk a greater distance, walk on greater inclines, and so on.. Other great exercises include swimming, biking, hiking, running, and yoga. It doesn’t matter what you decide on though, the aim is that you start to move.

Besides, this diet is focused primarily on feasting on plant-based foods, which are low in fat, often high in dietary fiber, and contain with vitamins and minerals. Fruits and vegetables are the fundamental staple in this diet, as well as whole grains, legumes and nuts. All of these foods are abundant in the things that your body requires and deficient on the things it doesn’t. You are not altogether denied other types of foods while following the mediterranean diet. You can still eat red meat, drink, even chow down on junk food, but the key is to engage in moderation. For example, red meat should be limited to a few times a month at most. For me, the best solution is to limit red meat to once a week as a special treat. Ingesting alcohol is not forbidden, though you need to keep it low. The general recommendation is to stick to red wine, due to its constitution benefits, but no matter what you choose, keep the amounts low. Also, make sure to eat fish and poultry at least twice every week, unless you are going vegetarian. These types of meat are healthier choices than red meat or pork and will keep you from feeling like you are being denied and enjoying the diet. Also, make a defintie effort to diminish the amounts of saturated and transfat sources in your diet. The first step I have already suggested, and that comes from limiting the consumption of red meat, as well as pork products. The second comes with a focus on including olive oil into your style of living and diet. With the Aegean diet, butter is not often ingested. When you can, it is best to change products like butter with healthy fats like olive oil or canola oil. Olive oil is used in cooking, as a topping for vegetables and salads, and even as a spread for bread. Dipping your bread into olive oil on its own or mixed with vinegar is a flavorful treat and a much healthier option than slathering butter all over it.

In the end, keep in mind to take the time to take pleasure in your food. This diet and lifestyle focuses on the importance of enjoying meals with the human beings in your life: your family and friends. Take food slowly, appreciate all of the flavors of the food, and enjoy the company around you. Eating flat-out is a great way to end up eating too much. If you take your time and take at least 30 minutes to eat a meal instead of scarfing it down because you are in a rush, you will often find that you will consume a lot less food but still feel wholly appeased. And this in turn will help you to feel better and since you will be consuming diminished calories, as well as eating mainly healthy things, you will begin to lose weight and inches. The valuable thing is to be healthier, and the aegean diet is unquestionably designed to help you acquire that goal.

Freedom Fighter Radio: Cheryl Sullenger (7-2-08) [2of4]

Dilation and curettage (D&C), the second most common method of surgical abortion, is a standard gynecological procedure performed for a variety of reasons, including examination of the uterine lining for possible malignancy, investigation of abnormal bleeding, and abortion. Curettage refers to cleaning the walls of the uterus with a curette. Other techniques must be used to induce abortion in the second trimester. Premature delivery can be induced with prostaglandin; this can be coupled with injecting the amniotic fluid with hypertonic solutions containing saline or urea. After the 16th week of gestation, abortions can be induced by intact dilation and extraction (IDX) (also called intrauterine cranial decompression), which requires surgical decompression of the fetus’s head before evacuation. IDX is sometimes called “partial-birth abortion,” which has been federally banned in the United States. A hysterotomy abortion is a procedure similar to a caesarean section and is performed under general anesthesia. It requires a smaller incision than a caesarean section and is used during later stages of pregnancy. The number of abortions performed worldwide has decreased between 1995 and 2003 from 45.6 million to 41.6 million, which means a decrease in abortion rate from 35 to 29 per 1000 women. The greatest decrease has occurred in the developed world with a drop from 39 to 26 per 1000 women in comparison to the developing world, which had a decrease from 34 to 29 per 1000 women

The move is part of a long-planned agenda to force Americans into accepting an internal passport that they would need to display at security checkpoints littered across the country at so-called “soft target” locations like subways, malls and sports stadiums. An internal passport for Americans is codified under the December 2004 Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act, which Congressman Ron Paul warned at the time would, “Allow the government to establish a Soviet-style internal passport system” that would subject “every citizen to surveillance and screening points”. It’s also about isolating so-called “domestic extremists” under the terms of the MIAC report who will have their freedom of movement restricted and basic liberties such as Second Amendment rights stripped by the federal government. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants people on the “no fly” list, and by extension a “no ride” list, to also be on a “no buy” list and be prevented from purchasing firearms. Just as the federal government currently maintains a terrorist no fly list, Sen. Charles Schumer is calling for the same rules to

The Cherokee Nation Supreme Court upheld a constitutional amendment requiring all citizens of the Nation to have at least one Indian ancestor on the federally-authorized Dawes Rolls, effectively stripping citizenship from the so-called Freedmen, descendants of Cherokee slaves. The ruling affects roughly 2800 non-Indians who enrolled in the Nation between 2006 and 2007 under a March 2006 Supreme Court ruling. In March of 2007, the people of the Cherokee Nation voted to amend the Cherokee Constitution to only grant those with Indian ancestors on the Dawes rolls legal citizenship and voting rights. That amendment was challenged in lengthy battle through the courts, but Monday’s ruling upholds the amendment. Freedmen argue the Cherokee Treaty of 1866 with the US Government grants them citizenship, but the Court ruled it was actually an amendment to the Cherokee Constitution in 1866 that granted them citizenship, and the Treaty of 1866 simply stated that Freedmen and their descendants had to have equal rights as Native Cherokees. . Therefore, the Court ruled, the Cherokee Nation had the right in 2007 to amend its constitution again, revoking citizenship. But Freedmen say the ruling is hitting them hard. “I was totally surprised and shocked,” Freedmen descendant Waynetta Lawrie said. “I’ve known from the time that I was a little girl that we had Cherokee blood.” But after the Court’s ruling Monday Lawrie is no longer a Cherokee citizen. “I can’t trace back the lineage all the

Freedom Ocean Podcasters James Schramko and Tim Reid Release Episode 20











James Schramko – Internet Marketing Expert


Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) August 03, 2011

A report on the Canadian Press say that entertainers, comedians in particular, have found podcasting to be the new way to advertise their talents via the internet. Talented individuals serious about making a name for themselves turn to podcasting to grow their fan-base and sell tickets to live events. Unlike in the past few decades, up and coming talents no longer had to rely on clubs and television shows in order to be discovered. While podcasting has opened up huge opportunities in the comedy niche, the possibilities for internet marketing yet remain largely untapped, says Freedom Ocean podcaster James Schramko. He and his podcasting partner Tim Reid have just released their 20th episode on internet marketing. He says:

“The general idea behind Podcasts is to get your name out there and establish authority in a given market, much like entertainers are doing today. Success depends largely on the content, of course, and much like comedy, it all depends on the delivery.”

Aussie marketing genius Tim Reid, who has had a podcasting show called “Small Business – Big Marketing” running for over two years now, partnered with countryman James Schramko to form Freedom Ocean several months ago. The show, which talks largely about internet marketing, quickly gained popularity with several episodes consistently in the top 10 of the internet marketing and business categories. It is rated as the top internet marketing podcast in Australia according to iTunes.

The Canadian Press report quoted technology analyst Carmi Levy saying “The idea is to maximize your audience and then use that audience to market your other offerings”, a statement James Schramko agrees with and believes to be an accurate description of what podcasts should be. He explains:

“Much like advertising, podcasts are meant to do the selling for you and not rely on the podcast itself as a source of income. In my line of work, which is internet marketing, Freedom Ocean has provided a means to drive valuable traffic to our sites, because first and foremost, we deliver what is referred to as gold nuggets in each episode. The fantastic thing about podcasts is that it’s free, meaning the creator can advertise himself without paying a cent and can easily distribute his audio ad via iTunes where listeners can download it for free.”

“Like comedy, it all depends on the delivery”, says James Schramko, who attributes part of the show’s success to having a partner in Tim Reid. He continued saying “unlike comedy, discussing internet marketing topics can become quite boring, especially when delivered in a monologue format reminiscent of classroom lectures.”

In Freedom Ocean podcasts, audiences get to listen to conversations between marketers James and Tim in a casual setting, where Reid gets Schramko to reveal many of his secrets through a series of queries.

“Our conversations tend to appear like talk shows on radio or television, only without the commercial breaks, topic and time restrictions. Doing the Podcast on my own might have had a completely different outcome. While our educational topics usually go deep into internet marketing, an entertainment factor is added through meaningful dialogues. The feedback we’ve been getting is awesome and we look forward to providing our listeners with even more valuable takeaways in future episodes.” – James Schramko

Episode 20 of Freedom Ocean talks about Delivering High Quality Information Products and can be streamed and/or downloaded via http://www.FreedomOcean.com and iTunes, free of charge.

Governor Bruce Johnson, State Senators Ray Miller (D-Columbus) and David Goodman (R-Columbus); James Stowe, Executive Director of Columbus Community Relations Commission; and Representative Joyce Beatty (D-Columbus). OCRC Commissioner Jeanine P. Donaldson, and Errol Browne will perform musical selections.

“The ‘Let Freedom Ring’ celebration will serve as a reminder that the price of freedom is not cheap, and that democracy is not a spectator sport. These men and woman, black and white, of all religions capture the true essence of freedom and we will celebrate their legacy so that future generations will continue to carry the torch of justice,” said OCRC Executive Director, G. Michael Payton. “Let Freedom Ring’ reminds us that we must continue to aspire for the goal of liberty and justice for all.”

In recognition of those Ohioans who dared to be pioneers in human and civil rights the Commission will announce its first inductees to the Ohio Civil Rights Commission Hall of Fame at the ceremony. This event is open to the general public, but a reservation is required to ensure adequate space. For more information call 1(888) 278-7101, Office of Public Affairs.

Looking forward for constitutional amendment bill

The Centre finally makes it clear that it is not possible to bring Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) under the scope of the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST), as per the model suggested by the states.

 

The Oil Industry came out with a demand to include crude oil and its products, and natural gas in the upcoming GST regime. We often used to see different fuel prices from states to states and the main reason for this is the different tax rates structure followed by the states according to their budgetary targets.

 

Earlier our Finance Ministry proposed to keep crude oil, petrol, diesel, ATF and natural gas permanently outside GST through a Constitutional Amendment. There are many states in India who heavily depends on collections from levies on oil products to make up for their budgetary targets. So this has been proposed basically to protect the finances of states. However, recently a letter has been written by the Petrofed, a body representing both public and private sector companies like Indian Oil Corp, seeking inclusion of crude oil, petrol, diesel, aviation turbine fuel (ATF) and natural gas in the Goods and Services Tax .

]]>

 

According to Petrofed, the inclusion of petroleum products under GST will eliminate twisted wires of taxes paid by suppliers as well as by the industry at different stages in the petroleum value chain. Further, it will also enable the States and the Centre to capture full revenue potential up to sale to final consumers.

 

The 13th Finance Commission has also recommended that petrol, diesel, ATF, crude oil and natural gas should form part of GST legislation. Even it has also recommended that, if necessary, an additional tax can also be levied on these commodities in addition to the GST to look after the financial concerns of the states. But our Finance Ministry wants to keep them permanently out of the GST through Constitutional Amendment.

 

It is well known fact that a lot of things is required to be done for the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax but one thing is certain here that the Government is looking forward to continue the GST process as well as at the same time will try to develop the Consensus between the Centre and the State Governments.

The role of built environment practitioners in the implementation of the constitution of kenya

THE ROLE OF BUILT ENVIRONMENT PRACTITIONERS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONSTITUTION OF KENYA.

 

The new constitution clearly states that every person in Kenya as a right to adequate housing:

Economic and social rights
Section 43. (1) Every person has the right—
 
(a) to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes the right to health care services, including reproductive health care;
(b) to accessible and adequate housing, and to reasonable standards of sanitation;
(c) to be free from hunger, and to have adequate food of acceptable quality;
(d) to clean and safe water in adequate quantities;
(e) to social security; and
(f) to education..

For Kenya to provide adequate housing to its citizens, the Built Environment practitioners will have to think outside the box and provide a sustainable solution.

Demand for housing in Kenya is estimated at a deficit of between 100,000 to 200,000 units per year. This demand has resulted in high housing prices hence unaffordable and unsustainable to many Kenyans.

NEW BUILDING TECHNOLOGY

Use of new building technology that lowers the cost of construction will be one way of making housing accessible to all in Kenya. The new Building code should allow for other methods and construction materials such as prefabricated housing ,Structural Insulated Panel housing and adobe construction. This will open up completely new industries as practitioners in the built environment come up with new building materials and methods of construction as they experiment with the already existing ones such as prefabricated housing.

]]>

TECHNIQUES

Building technology techniques that use locally available materials to construct at a much lower cost will come a long way in ensuring adequate housing to all Kenyans. In recent years, we have seen several Kenyan architects who have come up with unique methods of lowering construction by use of locally available materials with unique technology.

 A good example is Nakuru-based Architect Dumas’ NewBuild technology available at Ministry of Housing that reduces use of Reinforced Concrete on masonry house construction.

 

 

Use of Information Technology[ IT ]

IT can also lower the cost of construction in that once creative Built Environment practitioners set up web applications that can enable people easily access information regarding material costs and be able to tender out their house designs to potential contractors, this will lower the cost of construction in the long run. A good example is Nairobi –based QS Nahinga’s http://www.ujenzibora.com/    who has developed an application that allows for online tender submission and quoting.

Other online IT methods such as online consultancy that reduces the frequency of face-to –face meetings will eventually reduce the cost of construction. The never-ending Nairobi traffic jams usually result to a lot of time and fuel wastage which is added upon the cost of consultancy hence high housing costs. These IT interventions might not seem to save a lot of money initially due to the fact that very few Kenyans have access to the internet but in the end, once more research is put into them ,the net result will be a major reduction in the overall cost of housing as seen in new technologies such as M-Pesa.

CONCLUSION.

There are other interventions in lowering the overall housing costs such as provision of lower mortgage and provision of infrastructure.

Solutions to lower the cost of housing in terms of use of building technology and IT lay squarely in the Built Environment practitioner’s court hence such interventions will go a long way to ensure that there is a reduction in the cost of housing in Kenya now that housing is a right to Kenyans.

J.F Kennedy’s[ 1917-1963]- famous words conclude:: “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. 

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. 

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own. “

The Land of Canaan Should be a Place of Peace and Reconciliation for All True Religions

The place referred to in historical sources as “the land of Canaan” is where currently Palestine and Israel reside in. This is a blessed land of many holy sites, a land where many prophets have lived and called on their peoples to believe in God’s existence and unity. For this reason, the land of Canaan is sacred to the peoples of the three divine religions, in other words, Muslims, Jews, and Christians. This sacred place which brings together representatives of the three religions of the book is extremely important in terms of knowing the common elements of their religions and their faith in one God, whereby they love and respect each other.

In the Qur’an, God presents Jews and Christians as People of the Book, as well as explaining to Muslims in detail what their responsibilities towards them are. People of the Book are aware of the sacred and the profane, and base their moral practices on divine inspiration from God. According to the morality preached by the Qur’an, and the practices of our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace), it is required that Muslims treat Jewish people and Christians with love, care, tolerance, and respect. The call of Muslims to Jews and Christians is revealed thus in the Qur’an:

“We believe in what has been sent down to us and what was sent down to you. Our God and your God are one and we submit to Him.” (Qur’an, 29:46)

This call makes it very clear what Muslims’ point of view towards the People of the Book is: We live according to the moral principles professed by our holy books by respecting the limits made clear by God, by loving and respecting the messengers sent by our Lord, and by having faith in one God. Which is why we are beholden to treat each other with care, understanding, respect, and love.

We All Love and Respect the Same Prophets

Muslims have faith in all of the prophets which have been sent. They believe in the holy books sent to people by prophets in the past. One verse of the Qur’an explains this as follows:

Say, “We believe in God and what has been sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and what Moses and Jesus and all the prophets were given by their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. We are Muslims submitted to Him.” (Qur’an, 3:84)

Prophets Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Aaron, David, Solomon, John, Jesus, and Moses (peace be upon them all) are as important to Muslims as they are to Jews and Christians.

The respect of Jews for Moses (pbuh) who is also a prophet of ours and their close bonds with him over thousands of years are very important to sincere Muslims. The great love of Christians for Jesus (pbuh) and their heartfelt attachment to him is of similar importance to Muslims. Of course those who feel love and respect for Prophets Jacob, Isaac, Ishmael, Abraham, Lot, Ayyub, Moses, Jesus, John and other prophets (peace be upon them all) are highly valued people for whom naturally Muslims will feel love and affection and approach with understanding and compassion. Anything opposing this is not possible.

We Should All Live in Peace in Canaan, the Land of Prophets

All believers desire in their hearts, and reap great joy from this, that the people who believe in the same prophets should live in security, love and peace in the land of Canaan – and in fact throughout the entire world. The children of the three divine religions – Prophet Ishmael’s (pbuh) children, the Muslim Arabs, Prophet Moses’ (pbuh) children, the Jews, and Prophet Jesus’ (pbuh) children, the Christians – should be able to live as they desire in the land of Canaan. Jews, Christians and Muslims should be able to practice their religions as they want there, and should be able to live their lives in peace and comfort there, without any fear. It should be the common ideal for all believers.

]]>

The land of Canaan is the land of the ancestors of Christians, Jews and Muslims, the descendants of Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Their ancestors have lived and died on this land. Just as their ancestors did, they have the right to worship, live life, and reside in these lands. In these lands – as in the rest of the world – nobody can interfere with them or their worship, limit their movements or place restrictions on them. This is an order from God to all believers in the Qu’ran. All the sacred places and the homes in which the name of God is remembered are under the protection of our Lord. The obligation of the believers is to protect these places where God’s name is remembered and believers worship to gain the pleasure of God. God tells us in the Qu’ran:

Those who were expelled from their homes without any right, merely for saying, “Our Lord is God” (if God had not driven some people back by means of others, monasteries, churches, synagogues and mosques, where God’s name is mentioned much, would have been pulled down and destroyed. God will certainly help those who help Him – God is All-Strong, Almighty). (Qur’an, 22:40)

But the reality is that because of some radical elements among these three religions, attempts to spread clash and chaos, instead of peace and security, in these sacred lands are common and believers are being dismayed. This is not, however, an acceptable situation. Killing people or trying to remove them forceably from their land are actions anathema to the beliefs of Jewish and Muslim people. It is such an attack on the lineage of the prophets that any true person of faith, either Muslim or Jewish, could not accept it. An attempt to wipe out Prophet Jacob’s (pbuh) line is a kind of wrongdoing every truly faithful Muslim would be against. At the same time, attacks whose aim is to wipe out the line of Prophet Ishmael (pbuh) can clearly not be allowed. All true believers must make their attitude known clearly regarding this Dajjal-like (Antichrist-like) game constructed on violence and aggressiveness. It must not be forgotten that Muslims, Jews and Christians should not be fighting against each other, but should be engaged in an intellectual struggle against the threat to all of our societies, irreligion and atheism. All Muslims, Christians and Jews who love God and the prophets should guard against this danger.

With so much strong threat of atheism, materialism and Darwinism in the world today, Jews, with their ties to Prophets Abraham and Moses (peace be upon them), and their faith which has lasted thousands of years, are very precious to Muslims. In the same way, Christians all over the world expressing their faith in God, and their love for Prophets Jesus and John (peace be upon them), are very precious to Muslims. It is a thing of joy for Muslims to see their faith and ties to Jesus (pbuh) over two thousand years. Which is why true Muslims should want from their hearts for Jews and Christians to have stronger faith, and to love God more.

Conclusion

The land of Canaan should not be one where Jews and Palestinian Muslims live in fear and terror. Muslims and Jews should immediately put an end to the cruelty, the politics of terror, the oppression, in short the violence. All believers in the religions of the book should be able to live on these lands in comfort, tranquility, safety and peace and lead prosperous lives. There is no place for enmity in the morality prescribed by God. The answer is to be individually determined on friendship, affection and compassion, seeking God’s good pleasure without any expectation of reward. In the Qu’ran God tells us that superior morality will destroy enmity:

A good action and a bad action are not the same. Repel the bad with something better and, if there is enmity between you and someone else, he will be like a bosom friend. None will obtain it but those who are truly steadfast. None will obtain it but those who have great good fortune. (Qur’an, 41:34-35)

The example of the history shows us that in these lands it is possible to re-establish a system open to respect and affection in which every group can live in safety and in freedom such as the one which operated through the vision of the Ottomans. As Muslims, it is one of our greatest desires that the Jews should live and trade freely in the land of their forefathers, cooperate freely with other nations in the political, commercial and artistic fields and be free to worship wherever they wish. In the same way, it is extremely important to provide all the means that the Palestinian Muslims should have freedom of movement in the lands of Israel, in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and be able to worship in peace and that they should live in brotherhood with the Jews.

God willing, within a very short time better and brighter days will come when all Christians, Muslims and Jews will live in brotherhood. With the power of sincere faith it will be possible to achieve a world in which peace, security, goodwill and affection hold sway. This is a promise from God to all true believers. Our Lord gives the good news to the faithful in the Qur’an thus:

God has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their religion with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. They worship Me, not associating anything with Me. Any who disbelieve after that, such people are deviators. (Qur’an, 24:55)
