Cranford NJ Alimony Lawyer
In New Jersey, alimony and spousal support are the terms used to refer to the monetary compensation provided by one spouse to another during and after a divorce. Notably, alimony can also be applicable in situations involving civil unions. The primary intentions of alimony payments are to provide both individuals with a lifestyle that is similar to the one maintained during the marriage and to ensure that neither party suffers undue economic damage as a result of the divorce.
There are a host of factors considered when determining whether or not alimony is appropriate in a given situation and, if so, what the value of these payments should be. Notably, decisions regarding alimony evolve organically on a case-by-case basis, with no hard and fast rules to govern this procedure. However, some of the most influential factors used in these decisions include: the duration of the marriage, the age and health of each spouse, the standard of living maintained during the marriage, and the earning potential of each party. For a complete list of factors considered during alimony determinations, view our Factors of Alimony page.
There are also different types of alimony in New Jersey, including: pendente lite (temporary) alimony, open durational alimony, limited duration alimony, rehabilitative alimony, and reimbursement alimony. Each of these is described in more detail on our Types of Alimony page. Further, there were a number of significant alterations made to State law regarding alimony that took effect in September of 2014.

The story of the hidden weapon was only revealed after Mandela was released from prison in 1990, during his first visit to Liliesleaf in 30 years. The late veteran journalist Allister Sparks recalled being with Mandela at the time. He told the Mail & Guardian in 2011: "He was reminiscing about all the things that had gone on while he was there. He (asked) the house maid, 'Where's the kitchen? I buried some weapons here 20 paces from the kitchen.'"We went to the kitchen and he stepped out his paces but by the time he got to 10 he hit the garden wall. So it was over in the neighbour's property. We never found it and Nick Wolpe (Liliesleaf Trust chief executive)has been digging ever since."
Negotiations for the sale of the neighbouring property have been underway for over five years. But the gun has still not been found.

There are many problems that could be solved by using GIS techniques more easily. GIS could be useful in every aspect of science which deals with location and space. Hydrology,Transportation, historical map, urban design, and etc.
Everyone could need GIS knowledge in his graduate studies related to the aspects mentioned above. I want to introduce a free web-based book that could be useful for engineers, especially civil engineers. Geospatial Analysis - A comprehensive guide is a web-based GIS resource written by Dr. Michael de Smith and Prof. Paul Longley, University College London, and Prof. Mike Goodchild, UC Santa Barbara.
This book consists of different comprehensive GIS techniques. I would like to list the main topics that are covered by this book here. It could be called as a reference book for undergraduate or graduate students who have started using GIS or they want to refresh their knowledge on GIS.
You can access to the web-based version of this book for free and if you like you can purchase it from its website.
Today, I would like to introduce you HEC-RAS 5.0 which is capable of 2-dimensional modeling of hydraulic problems. This could be called a milestone for HEC-RAS program which is very popular among hydraulic engineers. The new version of HEC-RAS could be used for 2D only or combined 2D and 1D modeling. Also the RASMapper is very useful part of this program that could be used for creating the computational domain from Raster files, viewing the output data or exporting data from HEC-RAS to other GIS software. You can download the latest version of HEC-RAS from
You can download the latest version of HEC-RAS from link below:
Don't forget to read the documentation and hydraulic manual of this program before starting to work on your problem.

When I listened to one of the K12 conference speakers he spoke about computers in the school and how to implement them. One of the things he mentioned really interested me. He talked about how you shouldn't give out the same "amount" of computers to each teacher and classroom. At first I thought this sounded unfair, but he explained it well. He said in the school district he works for, he needs a small written letter explaining what the teacher wants to use the technology for. If this teacher wants a new computer so he/she can check their email and put together a powerpoint for their class, it's not being fair to the teachers who are going to use the technology for bigger and better things like blogging, "Google Reader," online collaboration, video tools, voicethreads etc. Also, his job is to hold the teachers accountable. I think this is equally as important. A teacher might have good intentions to use those types of tools in the classroom, but never give it the time, and the technology could go to waste. This podcast just interested me because he was coming from the other side of the wall. He was the one that allocated where the computers go, who used them, and if they used them. I am on the other side. I am the ambitious teacher with dreams to use all sorts of technology in the classroom as long as I have the means to do so.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
My final this, final that and then it's done
So its finals. It's going to be nuts. Monday is crazy with so many things due. The good news is that after Friday, it's over for a little while. I "handed in" my final project and I am happy with it. For the amount of resources out there for teaching English through music, I think I did well. The very interesting part of this is that I talked to my cousin the other day who is teaching English in Korea. I told her about my wikispace and she's going to use it in her classroom! I can't wait to hear how it goes. The thing that I am most excited about is how it will be an ongoing project that I can continue to update. Right now I am not a teacher… and I did not have these resources when I did a bit of teaching English in Germany. When I actually get into an early childhood classroom, I will be able to update these resources and add more categories. It will be something that I can use for my whole teaching career! But enough about school type stuff right now, I'm almost done!Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )

I chose to mentor the younger students in Kathy Casiddy's classroom. I am specializing in Pre-K to 3, and I felt that I would do a better job encouraging them to think then the grade 12's. Kathy Cassidy posted a picture of two little boys. They looked like they could have been from South America. She got them to comment on the picture. Preston said this…
xbkdnfbhfnhjf. the hbvhncufj.mnngbilfkgh Editor: I think that the little boy is crying and the boy isn't crying. It is green in the background.
I wanted Preston to reflect about why the boy was crying. I wanted him to put himself into the other child's shoes so he could try and understand what was causing the conflict. (Centered on Piaget's ideas of Pre-operational stage where a child can think symbolically and take another's perspective.) This is what I commented…
Hey Preston
I agree with you. I think the younger boy is crying and the older boy isn't. What would you do if you were holding a baby who was crying? Could you do anything to make them stop crying?

"guide for real innovation in the real world…. A fantastic collection of thoughts, practical methodologies and an overall bent to getting real innovation done in the real world. Too many innovation-focused business books these days are based on fanciful methodologies that sound great in theory, but lack substantive examples of how to put this kind of thinking into practice. In Design a Better Business, the authors have compiled both the abstract approaches as well as real-world cases of successful innovation practices that give the reader a clear, well reasoned strategy for innovating in their businesses, products and teams." (Amazon reviewer)

With an estimated trillion-dollar global market for sustainable products, and with potentially huge cost savings to be gained, frugal innovation is revolutionising business and reshaping management thinking. This seminal book gives an overview of the principles, perspectives and techniques behind frugal innovation, connecting with key contemporary business concepts such as the sharing and circular economies and the maker movement. It offers a blueprint for leaders and managers in companies of all sizes and across all sectors on how to profit from doing business frugally. Based on the authors' six key principles of frugal innovation, and packed with targeted advice and recommendations for business functions such as R&D, operations, HR and sales, Frugal Innovation is a masterclass in the art of doing more with less.

Maryam Pougetoux,19, leader of the Sorbonne chapter of the French National Students' Union, found herself at the center of a controversy covered today in The New York Times. The issue? Wearing a head scarf in a television interview.
In an article in the Guardian, journalist Rokhaya Diallo describes Pougetoux as "the latest victim of France's obsession with the hijab. It all started on 12 May when the political scientist Laurent Bouvet, known for his activism and sometimes referred to as a 'gladiator of secularism,' published on his Facebook page an image taken from a televised interview with the elected president of the Sorbonne branch of the national student union (Unef), Maryam Pougetoux. The interview was about student protests against government reforms, but Bouvet's attention was caught not by Pougetoux's comments but by the hijab that surrounds her face.
"The reaction on social media was immediate. On Facebook, the prominent socialist Julien Dray said: 'As a founding member of Unef … the union leadership that approves this young woman as a leader defiles all the struggles we led in the universities.'"
Her head scarf elicited comments from French interior minister Gérard Collomb who called her appearance "shocking." Marlène Schiappa, the minister of gender equality, said she exhibited a "manifestation of political Islam." The satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo put her on its cover.
"Ms. Pougetoux herself was baffled by the outburst," writes The Times' Aida Alami, "saying she had to research 'political Islam' online to understand the accusation. She also was not particularly outraged by the caricature of her on the profanity-laced cover of Charlie Hebdo, which many said made her look like a monkey.
"'I first laughed. Charlie Hebdo mocks everyone, I didn't take it personally,' she said in a recent interview. What she liked, she says, is that, 'they were the only ones who actually emphasized my message.'
"Still, she realized not everyone shared her sense of humor. 'I was extremely hurt when I realized that it caused a lot of pain for my family and friends,' she said."
"… 'laïcité' … emerged during the revolution as a way to keep the Roman Catholic Church out of the affairs of state. But in recent years, critics say, some groups have used it to suppress the growing influence of Islam in France."
"Ms. Pougetoux, who hopes one day to work for international nonprofit groups, said she believed that many politicians and intellectuals in France were set in archaic ways of thinking that do not reflect the more tolerant viewpoints of French citizens or, especially, her college peers.
"'People think that we can never wear a head scarf by choice,' Ms. Pougetoux said. 'I wore it by religious conviction. It does not prevent me from having a normal life, and from having progressive values and dedicating my life to my political engagement.'"
From its beginnings, the Church of Scientology has recognized that freedom of religion is a fundamental human right. In a world where conflicts are often traceable to intolerance of others' religious beliefs and practices, the Church has, for more than 50 years, made the preservation of religious liberty an overriding concern.
The Church publishes this blog to help create a better understanding of the freedom of religion and belief and provide news on religious freedom and issues affecting this freedom around the world.

Enjoy The Wilderness With A Toyota 4Runner
Toyota 4Runner is advertised to be a middle SUV, yet it has an impressive size and can easily classify for a large one. It is in continuous production for three decades already. Its exquisite success was given by the Japanese reliability in all kinds of situations – whether urban or rural. However, the commercial clearly understates its official purpose – going wild. The commercial begins with a brief presentation of the wildlife. A few seconds later, Toyota 4Runner is pictured running on all kinds of rough terrains. Besides, with so many activities you can perform in the wilderness, a good and solid friend like this car will support you in any situation.

Development of a Leadership Framework for Technological Innovation in Schools
Daniel Stanhope, Jeni Corn, Ruchi Patel, Rodolfo Argueta, NC State - Friday Institute, United States
Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education International Conference, in Nashville, Tennessee, USA ISBN 978-1-880094-84-6 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA
As schools continue to engage in the implementation of educational technologies, an increased focus on the role that leaders assume in these initiatives is imperative. Administrator and teacher surveys, focus groups and interviews, and data from 18 high schools participating in a statewide 3-year 1:1 learning technology initiative provided empirical evidence to corroborate a priori theory, past research, and best practices. This culminated in the development of a framework for effective leadership during technology innovation in schools. Authors then developed a 1:1 Leadership Evaluation Scale based on the framework, and collected various validity and reliability evidences. This framework and corresponding scale should assist schools and districts in identifying and assessing the quality of school-based leaders for technology innovation projects.

The Chicago Tech Summit was a one-day conference as part of Chicago Ideas Week that focused on sharing leading trends in entrepreneurship, web, design, data and innovation. The day was spent with executives from GE, Etsy, Quirky, IDEO, Myspace, Lulu, Groupon, PayPal and Girls Who Code, among others, learning about their experiences and industry best practices. The goal of the conference was to "stop looking at tech so technically" and start looking at tech creatively.
cre·a·tiv·i·ty; noun: the use of the imagination or original ideas, esp. in the production of an artistic work
The basic definition of creativity highlights an interesting lens for viewing creation – through art. While there are a handful of technologists that would describe themselves as artists, the majority would not say artistry was their distinguishing characteristic. It is important to look closer at the personality traits of artists to derive the value they bring to technology. The widely known Myers Briggs assessment categorizes 'The Artists' as the ISFP Personality Type: Introversion, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving. At the surface, these personality traits may not seem like the winning formula to be the next Chief Technology Officer, VP of Product Development or Founder of a Startup. However, as the following insights from the Tech Summit illustrate, these personality traits are necessary in leading innovation and achieving success in a rapidly changing technology world.
- Beth Comstock, Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, GE: Beth discussed the Global Innovation Barometer sponsored by GE, an international opinion survey of senior business executives engaged in managing the firm's innovation strategy. The results of the most recent survey highlight that most large organizations are struggling with how to hire and retain imaginative and artistic individuals. This is an ever-growing challenge, as many companies are seeing their true 'creative types' leave to start their own business or launch a new startup. So what is GE's solution? They have created GE Ventures, which works to integrate GE professionals with technology startups in the software, health care, energy and advanced manufacturing industries. The goal is mutually beneficial – GE provides investment returns and commercial arrangements to the startups, while the startups help GE stay on the forefront of innovation, foster creative growth and increase brand recognition.
- Tom Kelly, Partner, IDEO: Tom is the author of the newly released Creative Confidence: Unleashing the Creative Potential Within Us All. His formula for creative confidence is the ability to come up with breakthrough ideas and combine with the courage to act on them. The courage turns out to be the really important part since many people have ideas, but most are too timid to put them into action. One interesting guiding principle, he explains, is balancing technology with humanity. In other words, if your company is looking to create the next big thing in technology, start with empathy – hire and foster employees within your organization that are good at sensing and perceiving emotions or desires (i.e., the ISFP personality types explained above). These are the people that will think of new technologies before people know they need them. Pure innovation typically requires a leap of faith, one that may not always be supported by numbers and metrics, but one that is a result of creative individuals who take risks.
The technology world is rapidly changing. Innovation is the end goal and creativity is the means to get there. But how do companies large and small create and execute a strategy to improve innovation? The answer lies in the ability to hire and retain the creative artists who will be courageous enough to develop and execute breakthrough ideas.
As one of the most well-known artists put it…
"I feel such a creative force in me: I am convinced that there will be a time when, let us say, I will make something good every day, on a regular basis….I am doing my very best to make every effort because I am longing so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things mean painstaking work, disappointment, and perseverance."
― Vincent van Gogh

|Adansonia digitata Adansonia digitata (baobab) is the most widespread of the Adansonia species, and is native to the African continent. The long-lived pachycauls are typically found in dry, hot savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa, where they dominate the landscape, and reveal the presence of a watercourse from afar. Their growth rate is determined by ground water or rainfall, and their maximum age, which is subject to much conjecture, seems to be in the order of 1,500 years.
|Agathosma betulina Agathosma betulina (previously Barosma betulina) is a flowering plant in the family Rutaceae, native to the lower elevation mountains of western South Africa, where it occurs near streams in fynbos habitats.
|Aloe ferox Aloe ferox (known as the Cape Aloe, Bitter Aloe, Red Aloe and Tap Aloe), is a species of arborescent aloe indigenous to southern Africa. It is one of several Aloe species used to make bitter aloes, a purgative medication, and also yields a non-bitter gel that can be used in cosmetics.
|Aloe vera Aloe vera is a plant species of the genus Aloe. It grows wild in tropical climates around the world and is cultivated for agricultural and medicinal uses. Aloe is also used for decorative purposes and grows successfully indoors as a potted plant.
|Harpagophytum Harpagophytum procumbens, also called grapple plant, wood spider and most commonly devil's claw, is a genus of plants in the sesame family, native to southern Africa. Plants of the genus owe their common name "devil's claw" to the peculiar appearance of their hooked fruit.
|Devil's Claw
|Hoodia gordonii Hoodia gordonii, also known as Bushman's hat, is a leafless spiny succulent plant with medicinal properties. It grows naturally in Botswana, South Africa and Namibia. The species became internationally known as a appetite suppressant but chemical syntheses was not possible. Only the natural product assists as an appetite suppressant for weight loss.
|Hypoxis hemerocallideae Hypoxis hemerocallidea, the African star grass or African potato, is a medicinal plant in the Hypoxidaceae family. It is native to southern Africa from South Africa as far north as Mozambique and Zimbabwe. This plant is the best known member of this genus.
|African Potato
|Moringa Oleifera Moringa oleifera is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Moringa, which is the only genus in the family Moringaceae. English common names include: moringa, drumstick tree (from the appearance of the long, slender, triangular seed-pods), horseradish tree (from the taste of the roots, which resembles horseradish), ben oil tree, or benzoil tree (from the oil which is derived from the seeds).
|Pelargonium sidoides Pelargonium sidoides is a medicinal plant native to South Africa. Its common names include umckaloabo and South African geranium. Root extract of Pelargonium sidoides is used as cold and flu medicine under various brand names including Kaloba, Umcka and Zucol. Evidence to support its use is low to very low.

Regional Adaptation
The Crop Development Centre (CDC) winter cereal program has conducted a large number of agronomy and physiology studies that have established the relationship between winter survival of wheat and weather conditions in western Canada. The relationship established in these studies has been used to create the computer program that estimates winterkill in wheat in the CERES crop growth simulation model that was developed as part of the United States Department of Agriculture's ARS - Wheat Yield Project and the multi-agency Resources Surveys Through Aerospace Remote Sensing (AGRISTARS) program. In cooperation with the CDC winter cereal program, Environment Canada researchers have analyzed 29 years of climatic data for 53 weather stations in western Canada utilizing the CERES model to determine the winterkill risk for properly managed stubbled-in Norstar winter wheat. These simulations indicated that when snow is maintained uniformly on winter wheat fields by snow trapping in standing stubble, a large area in western Canada has a winterkill risk level as good or better than the traditional production area in southwestern Alberta (
The CERES model predicted a low incidence of winterkill for the Wynyard east region and the southeastern tip of Saskatchewan, southern Manitoba and the Banff-Edmonton corridor in Alberta
The combined effects of drier air, which crosses the Rockies, and cold arctic invasions were evident in the higher winterkill risk predicted for the area that includes a large part of the Dark Brown soil zone in Alberta and Saskatchewan
Figure 1. Frequency (%) that more than 10% of the stubbled-in Norstar winter wheat crop is expected to winterkill as estimated by the CERES model (from Savdie, Whitewood, Raddatz and Fowler,1990).
Figure 2 . Frequency (%) that more than 50% of the stubbled-in Norstar winter wheat crop is expected to winterkill as estimated by the CERES model (from Savdie, Whitewood, Raddatz and Fowler,1990).
The influence of weather on stubbled-in winter wheat grain yield have been studied in detail in Saskatchewan. Evaporation during the two week period immediately prior to heading, root zone extractable soil water at heading and evaporation during the last two weeks in July have been found to be the primary weather factors determining grain yield in these studies.
Most of the highly drought sensitive stem elongation to heading period for winter wheat occurs in June, which is usually the wettest month of the year
Evaporation rates during the average growing season in western Canada gradually increase from May to July and then drop off quickly in August
Figure 3. Mean monthly precipitation (25 mm = 1 inch) at the selected stations in Saskatchewan 1951-80 (from Guide to Farm Practice in Saskatchewan, 1984).
Figure 4. Calculated monthly lake evaporation (25 mm = 1 inch) for Swift Current, Wynyard, and Nipawin, Saskatchewan (from Canada Climate Normals, Vol. 9, Environment Canada, Atmospheric Environment Service).
As a re-crop, stubbled-in winter wheat is highly dependent upon precipitation that occurs between harvest of the previous crop (August) and heading (June). Field studies have demonstrated that soil water reserves only contribute approximately 20 percent of the total winter wheat annual water use, while 80 percent is derived from rainfall. These studies also established that stubbled-in winter wheat often exhausts most of its available soil water reserves by heading making later season growth even more dependent upon growing season rainfall. Since growing season precipitation can vary greatly, grain yield of stubbled-in winter wheat can also be expected to vary considerable from year to year
Large variation in average maximum grain yield was observed among years in the 1982 to 1991 period
Figure 5. Average grain yield trials grown between 1982 and 1991 in Saskatchewan. Total number of trials = 84. Values shown are the average of 10 yearly means for each soil zone. 1000 kg/ha = approx. 15 bu/acre.
Figure 6. Average (brown+dark brown+grey black soil zone)/3 grain yield of NOrstar winter wheat in trials grown in Saskatchewan. Total number of trials = 84. 1000 kg/ha = approx. 15 bu/acre.
The crop years 1984/85, 1985/86, and 1990/91 produced the highest average grain yields in research trials throughout Saskatchewan

- We've received some communication from a new group in Macedonia who appear to be well on their way to forming a new chapter. I'll post more updates about this group as I get them.
- Good progress is being made in India. Sue Gardner has made the formation of an Indian chapter a major priority, and has been putting a lot of time and energy into it's creation. Advisory board member Achal Prabhala has gotten involved as a serious facilitator for the new group, and has been doing amazing work getting the ball rolling. Hopefully we have more news to report on this in the coming weeks.
- Wikimedia Indonesia is growing and is going public soon with a press conference. I'll get more details about this soon.
- A few other groups have been in contact with the chapcom, but it's too early for me to talk about any of them yet. Suffice it to say that we could have a pretty good year in terms of adding new chapters if even half of the communications we've received turn into something real.

Streptococcal pharyngitis, also called strep throat, is a very common, highly contagious infection of the oropharynx (the area including the back of your throat, the back part of your tongue, your tonsils, and the soft palate).[1] There are 11 million diagnosed cases annually in the US. Strep throat is spread readily from person to person by touching or coming into contact with the bacteria. The bacterial infection is most prevalent in late winter and early spring[2]. If you are worried about getting strep throat, follow a few simple steps to prevent the infection and learn more about it so you know how to avoid it.
Part 1 of 3:
Avoiding the Bacteria
1Avoid contact. The main way to prevent strep throat is to avoid contact with someone you know is infected with strep throat. You should avoid any contact with that person, which means you should not touch them at all or share a close environment with them. You should also avoid touching anything that an infected person may have come into contact with. The objects could have the bacteria living on them and you might transmit it to yourself.
- You should keep your distance while the infected individual completes the first 48 hours of antibiotics. After 48 hours of proper antibacterial treatment, you may resume casual contact because she is no longer contagious.
- The American Academy of Family Practice has done research that state that in homes with one confirmed case, there is a 43% chance of a second family or household contact contracting the bacterial infection. Be extra careful if someone in your family had strep throat and avoid contact as much as possible.[3]
- If you know someone sick with strep throat, encourage them to stay home, especially in the first few days when they are still contagious. If your kids or members of your family have it, you should keep them at home until you know they cannot infect anyone else (their fever has gone and they have been on antibiotics for at least 24 hours).[4] You should avoid going out if you have strep throat as well. You don't want to accidentally infect others at work or in public.
- If your children attend daycare, keep them away for a few days if a child at their daycare has strep throat.[5]
2Wash infected objects. Once you know an object has been touched by someone with strep throat, you need to make sure you wash it. Because of the highly contagious and hearty nature of this bacteria, every object that has been touched is at risk of transmitting the bacteria to another host. In order to prevent this from happening, wash all the items an infected person has touched. These items include clothing, bedding, dishes (especially cups), straws, silverware, and anything else that may have been contaminated through touch.
- Use boiling water and bleach on items to get rid of the bacteria. If you cannot use these methods on them, the objects should be replaced. Use color-safe bleach on objects that could be stripped of color if regular bleach is used.
- For objects that cannot be removed and washed, such as door handles and counters, you can either use a rag soaked in bleach or an antibacterial spray to eliminate the bacteria.
- Toothbrushes should be disposed of after 2 days of treatment with antibiotics.[6][7] Never allow family members to share toothbrushes.[8]
3Avoid sharing. Sharing may be caring in most cases, but if someone in your family has strep throat, don't let them share with others. Don't drink from the same glass or eat from the same plate as the person infected with strep throat.[9]
- Sharing of soft objects, such as napkins, handkerchiefs, towels, bedding, or soft toys, should also be discouraged.[10]
4Wash your hands. You can prevent the transmission of strep throat by washing your hands frequently, especially when in an area with an infected person. Given how frequently people touch their faces, noses, and mouths, it is easy to see how it may be transmitted. Wash your hands often with water as warm as you can tolerate for a period of 15-30 seconds. Use a good amount of soap and wash all areas of your hands, including in between your fingers and around your wrists.
- Longer or more aggressive hand washing has been linked with increased transmission of bacteria infections because the protective skin barrier of the hands is damaged at a microscopic level, which allows the bacteria to get into your system. So only wash for 15-30 seconds so you don't get rid of needed layers of skin.
- If you discover that you have come into contact with an ill person, avoid touching your mouth or nose and immediately wash your hands. If that is not available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.[11][12]
5Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough.[13] The CDC recommends that you cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, not just your hands. If you don't have a tissue handy, cough or sneeze into your elbow rather than your hands. This will help prevent people infected with strep throat from spreading germs by touching things.[14]Advertisement
Part 2 of 3:
Boosting Your Immune System
1Rest. Your body requires rest to fight off an infection. People in your household infected with strep throat should definitely get adequate rest, but don't short your own sleep either. Getting enough sleep each night will help keep you strong and healthy.[15]
2Eat a balanced diet. Consuming foods high in vitamins and nutrients can help strengthen your immune system. Eat a diet that includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and lean proteins. If you aren't feeling sick, this diet will help you stay that way. If you're not feeling well, it will help you recover.[16]
3Consume more vitamin C and D. You should try to incorporate more vitamin C and D into your diet. Although there is no documented research that these vitamins prevent strep throat specifically, vitamin C and D enhance your immune function, which boosts your immune system and helps you fight bacteria that invade your body.
- If your immune system is strong, there is a chance that, when exposed to strep, you might make an army of antibodies against the strep sufficient to prevent you from infection instead getting sick.
- Despite this increased immunity, you should not expose yourself unnecessarily to the bacteria and should still follow all precautions.[17][18]
- Good sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits, peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes. Other sources include kiwi, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and cantaloupe. Many beverages are also fortified with vitamin C.[19]
- Fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel are good sources of vitamin D. Fortified milk and juices will also help boost your intake. You can also stimulate your body to synthesize vitamin D by going outside into the sunshine (just wear sunscreen).[20]
4Get more zinc. Zinc is an essential element for the cells in your immune system. In order to build up your immune system, you should ingest more zine every day. It will provide the cells in your immune system with much needed nutrients to function. Eat more zinc-rich foods, such as seafood, lean red meats, poultry, beans, and fortified breakfast cereals. You can also get a zinc supplement that you can take every day.
5Ingest more vitamin A. Vitamin A helps boost the production of certain cells in your body that help boost your immune system. Vitamin A also helps fight infections. If you have a vitamin A deficiency, you are at an increased risk of getting an infections such as strep throat. Eat more vitamin A-rich foods, such as sweet potatoes, spinach, carrots, pumpkin, beef liver, cantaloupes, mangoes, black eyed peas, broccoli, and peppers.Advertisement
Part 3 of 3:
Understanding Strep Throat
1Learn how it's spread. Prevention is essential for strep because it is highly contagious. It is spread from person to person by coming into contact with contaminated secretions, from shaking hands with someone who hasn't washed her hands to kissing your baby. What typically occurs is an infected person wipes her nose or mouth contaminated with the bacteria and then touches someone or something. The bacteria can survive on objects for between for several days, although it may survive on dry surfaces for up to 6 months.[25][26]
2Learn the incubation period. The incubation period, or amount of time the bacteria takes to show symptoms, is between 1-3 days. This means that you may not feel unwell or know you're sick, but you may expose others unknowingly.
3Recognize the symptoms. The most common symptoms of strep throat are a severe and painful throat, painful swallowing, and a fever greater than 100.4 degrees. You may also experience swollen throat glands or headaches. Stomach upset and vomiting may occur in younger children.
- If you look closely at your throat, you may also see the characteristic red and swollen tonsils with white shaggy clumps of pus, or exudates, on the tonsils.
- Occasionally, strep throat can lead to scarlet fever, an inflammatory illness which has the same symptoms of strep throat with the addition of a non-raised, sandpaper like rash that may be anywhere on the body. The rash is not itchy. Before the rash appears, there may also be stomach pain or vomiting, especially in children.
- Sometimes, the enlarged painful tonsils sometimes have an abscess formation just adjacent to the tonsil, which require surgical drainage. Sometimes this can be performed in your doctor's office, although it may need surgical intervention or your doctor may decide to treat it with aggressive antibiotics.[31]
- You should seek treatment if you have the white shaggy pus pockets on your tonsils and a fever. These are readily visible to even the untrained eye.
- If you have a fever that has not gone away for 2-3 days and you have a bad sore throat, see your doctor to be tested for strep throat.
4Diagnose the disease. Diagnosis is most often confirmed clinically, though you can typically guess what you have based on the characteristic white pus pockets on your tonsils. In recent years, rapid strep tests have made it easier for clinicians to diagnose strep throat definitively in the office setting, though typically the triad of fever, pus pockets, and severe sore throat in an ill-appearing individual is sufficient for diagnosis.
- Other testing is available but usually unnecessary.[32]
- Children will likely be tested using a rapid antigen test, which can detect antigens (substances that produce an immune response in your body) in your throat within minutes. Because children are more prone to complications from strep throat, your doctor will probably use the rapid test to diagnose first. If it is inconclusive, the doctor will order a throat culture, which takes a few days to process.[33]
- There is also the option of a DNA test (called a NAAT or PCR test), which gives results within 24 hours.
5Treat strep throat. In the US, treatment with antibiotics for strep throat is common. Your physician will check you for strep throat and then prescribed you an antibiotic in the penicillin family, with the most common being Amoxicillin, although your doctor will prescribe different antibiotics if you are allergic to penicillin or Amoxicillin. These should be taken according to your doctor's directions.
- Typically, you will begin to feel better within that 48 hour window. If not, you should seek further treatment from your healthcare provider as you may have an antibiotic resistant strain of strep bacteria or the beginnings of an abscess infection.[34]
- You should always complete the full course of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor, even if you begin to feel better. Failing to do so can cause the remaining bacteria, which are stronger than the ones killed by the antibiotics, to become resistant to drug treatment. This makes the condition harder to treat and cure.[35]
6Consult with your doctor if you get strep throat frequently. If you're getting strep throat frequently, or if your strep throat is severe or difficult to treat, talk to your doctor. She may recommend that you see an ear-nose-throat (ENT) specialist about having your tonsils removed. While this doesn't completely prevent the recurrence of strep throat, it can help, especially in children.[36]
- Severe strep throat shows signs such as a fever of at least 101F (38C), swollen or painful lymph nodes in the neck, and/or white pus on the tonsils.

It can take you 2 hours to be seated. That's how crazy it was metaphorically speaking. Whenever my cousins or friends suggests this place I always say "Can we find another place where we can be accommodated right away? I hate waiting." not until last month my officemate invited me in this place and I said "YES".
I ordered their best seller and fell in love with place. It feels like being in a house full of post-its. It's like a playhouse and at the same time a photo booth.
After all it was never too late to explore the place.
Glace forgot to properly fit in the wig to her hair.

From feeling energized to uplifting your mood, the importance of exercise can never be ignored because the results are simply amazing, both physically AND mentally. Regardless of age, physical ability or sex, everyone benefits from working out. It also reduces stress, helps you to lose weight and gain muscle.
HIIT (high-intensity interval training) is one form of exercise that is highly recommended. It is a training technique where you use all of your energy to put into a quick, intense burst of workouts which are followed by short recovery periods. These exercises increase your heart rate and burn more fat within a short span of time. During HIIT, the body is depleted of oxygen, but recovers during rest periods between workouts.
How To Work Out On HIIT
Some HIIT exercises include burpees, push ups, high-knees, pull ups, jumping lunges, skipping rope, and jumping jacks. With these exercises, you can do 20 rounds of each workout with a resting period of 10 seconds between each exercise, then repeat three times. If you do this three times a week, the results will be incredible.
Amazing Benefits Of High-Intensity Interval Training
YOU BURN MORE FAT: During HIIT, you will burn more fat by training under fatigue. Your body will delay the accumulation of lactic acid and metabolization of both fats and carbs will result in a greater calorie output, hence you burning more fat. HIIT is also known to boost metabolism for 36 hours post workout, which means you will burn fat even when you're not working out.
GREAT FOR BUSY SCHEDULES: HIIT is an ideal workout for a busy schedule. You can achieve results in a mere 20 minutes of interval training compared to jogging on a treadmill for an hour. A short period of high-intensity interval training will improve your capacity in aerobic and exercise tolerance, as much as what weeks of endurance training would do.
A HEALTHIER HEART: By pushing your body to the anaerobic zone (the point where it's difficult to breathe and feels like your heart is popping out of your chest), your heart will be strengthened and become more stable. Extreme results are achieved by extreme training. A study has proven that after a month of HIIT, you can cycle twice as long as you could before, while maintaining the same pace.
NO EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Skipping rope, jumping jacks, knee highs, burpees, and biking are some of the HIIT workout that do not require any exercising apparatus. This translates that HIIT is cost effective and can be done anywhere, at any time. Equipment such as dumbbells can make weight loss less achievable, since the focus will be on muscles rather than on pushing your heart for more fat burning.
INCREASED METABOLISM: HIIT leads to greater production of the Human Growth Hormone [HGM] 24 hours after working out. It is an added advantage since HGM increases burning of calories and also slows the aging process, leaving you looking young and glowing.
CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE: Since no big gym equipment is necessary, you can do it in your house, on a boat, at the park, near the beach, etc. It is easier to adapt to, cost effective (no need to pay for gym memberships), and results are achieved within a short period.
IT'S CHALLENGING: Doing HIIT requires maximum concentration with minimal to no distractions, meaning you can't do it while doing something else. As hard as it can be to work out, different short interval exercises make it more fun while burning more fat.
HELPS TO TRAIN MIND AND BODY: HIIT requires you to alternate between speed and a short rest, and you are required to stick to the pace even when you feel depleted. This is why you need to work with your mind to maintain the same pace.
BEAT THE HOLIDAY BULGE: HIIT helps to keep the belly bulge away, even during the holidays when you tend to indulge in junk and not control your food portions. Go ahead and enjoy yourself, because life is short so why not have some fun? You won't have to worry, because with HIIT, you can snap back within a very short time.
With the above benefits, HIIT becomes a great deal for any person who wants to be physically fit in a short span of time. It can be done by anyone, regardless of their daily schedule or financial status, so there's no excuse for not working out. However, to achieve the desired goals, it is necessary to keep your diet in check, with occasional free days to eat whatever you want.
Foods To Eat Before A HIIT Workout
Carbohydrates: Carbs are essential to propel energy into your muscles. They keep you going, especially on the last lap of your exercise where you hit that anaerobic stage. Eat a combination of simple and complex carbohydrates such as oatmeal, apple slices, or a banana with whole grain bread.
Caffeine: Caffeine can keep you energized for hours, but don't drink too much of it or it'll make you jittery, nauseated and even nervous. With a small amount of caffeine, you will get a jolt that will make your workouts seem much easier.
Foods To Eat After A HIIT Workout
Just because you worked out, it doesn't give you free reign to indulge in unhealthy foods. Your metabolism will still be going strong long after working out, so don't overindulge, or you will add more calories than you burned, hence no weight loss. You can eat more of the healthy food to stave off hunger. Make more meals at home, that way you can control what goes into your dishes, like salt, sugar, bad carbs, and fats.
Proteins And Carbohydrates: This duo will help to rebuild what is depleted during a working out. The best choices you can go with are Greek yogurt, a glass of dairy milk, fruits and a cup of cooked vegetables. Greek yogurt will help in squashing hunger after your workout, which will also assist in restoring glycogen.
No Salty Stuff: Working out lowers potassium levels in the body, and so does salt. When potassium is low, it makes you weak, you get muscle cramps, you can feel nauseated, and even have low blood pressure. Your heart and muscles need potassium to work properly, so instead, you can have fruit juices (low sugar or none), vegetables/juices, or a chocolate milk. Prune juice is one of the highest in potassium, and you will notice a chocolate milk feels like heaven (is there any time it DOESN'T feel like heaven?). It's high in potassium and helps to rejuvenate your body after a hard workout.
Working out is healthy to our bodies. It fights many weight related diseases, makes us feel better physically and mentally, and gives us a boost of self esteem because we look better as well! Be consistent, disciplined and determined, and you shall achieve your goals.
