Obesity has become a growing issue in society with more and more children being affected at younger ages
By Samantha Marsh
What is Obesity?
For children and adolescents, overweight and obesity are defined by using an age- and sex-specific body mass index (BMI) chart.
OBESE: A child is considered obese if their BMI is equal to or exceeding the 95th percentile.
OVERWEIGHT: A child with a BMI equal to or exceeding the 85th percentile – but below the 95th percentile is considered overweight.
Causes of Obesity
Parents and Home Life
If one parent is obese then their child has a 50% chance of also becoming obese. If both parents are obese there is an 80% chance the child will be obese.
Many low income families find it hard to buy healthier food and pay for sporting fees.
Because of the easy access to cheap, high-calorie fast food and junk food busy families are cooking less and eating out more.
Unhealthy snacks are served at school in vending machines and in the lunch line. Children are choosing to purchase these fatty unhealthy foods instead of a healthy lunch.
Many schools are eliminating or cutting back their physical education programs.
Kids spend less time actively playing outside, and more time watching TV, playing video games, and sitting at the computer. This creates an energy imbalance because the total energy intake is exceeding the total energy output.
Genetic syndromes (Cohen syndrome, Down syndrome, Turner syndrome)
Hormonal disorders (Growth hormone deficiency, Hypothyroidism, Glucocrticoid excess)
Medications (Isulin, Piperidone, Thiaxlodinedsions)
Obesity Affects More Than Just Weight
Mental Health
Children with obesity are more likely to have difficulties in school academically. Physical problems may cause them to miss more school than children who are not overweight.
Physical Health
Children with obesity
often experience depression,
low-self-esteem and eating
disorders as a result of bullying.
Childhood obesity is the leading healthcare concern facing children today. Being overweight during childhood and adolescence increases the risk of developing high cholesterol, hypertension, respiratory ailments, orthopedic problems, depression and type 2 diabetes as a youth.
What Can You Do As An Educator
Emphasize healthy eating
physical education in your curriculum.
Incorporate physical activity in the classroom (music and movement, trash ball review)
Encourage parents to implement health and wellness at home.
Seek professional development to provide you with training to assist those who have suffered or are suffering from peer victimization.
Talk to your school board about funding health programs, healthier food in the cafeteria, and more physical education.
use physical activity as a punishment!
discipline children by not letting them participate in recess!!
If permitted let your students play outside for 30-60 minutes a day.
Understanding how children become obese or overweight in the first place is an important step toward breaking the cycle. Most cases of childhood obesity are caused by eating too much and exercising too little. Children need enough food to support healthy growth and development.

Were the Egyptian ladies stronger than the men?

I do not think that we have any evidence to say that Egyptian women were "stronger" than men either physically or in terms of political or social power. Women in Egypt (especially later Ancient Egypt) had legal rights that were the same as those of the men. However, it does not seem that their actual power was as great.
We do know that women had legal rights. They could make contracts and hold property, for example. (These are rights that women did not even have in Europe or the United States until the last 100 years or so.) In this way, they were equal.
However, women were much less likely to hold positions of political power than men were. So, in this way, they were not as "strong" as the men.

Ireland 'too expensive to be a premier league destination'
IRELAND can increase tourist numbers by 50pc to 12 million in the next five years if we do the right things.
That is the view of Ryanair's marketing guru, Kenny Jacobs who told a conference yesterday however that Ireland as a tourist destination is not "premier league" as its too expensive.
Speaking at the 7th Annual Tourism Policy Workshop at Dromoland Castle in Co Clare, Mr Jacobs said that Ireland must strike "an amazing, never-been-done-before deal with AirBnB" to address the room shortage in the industry.
"We don't have a premier league tourism product. It is very, very good but we can make it better," said Mr Jacobs.
"The principal reason is that we are really, really expensive and there are a lot of countries that offer similar to what Ireland offers but much cheaper," he said.
He added that Ireland was already the fifth-most expensive place in the EU to visit.
"Dublin is a very expensive city to come and visit. If this gets worse, it is going to be a massive factor," he said.
"It is all about value for money. The Irish product is good, but it is not good enough to sustain people coming here paying €6 for a pint."

The Benefits of Joining a Truck Club
If you drive or own a truck, I am sure you will be interested in finding other owners and drivers who drive a similar vehicle. The best way to do this is to find a truck or owners club for your vehicle manufacturer or vehicle type.
The benefits of joining a truck club or owners club to the motorist or truck owner are many. There is an owners club or truck club for all makes of vehicle, past and present. This means no matter what you drive, there will be a club for you.
Nearly all clubs will have an on line presence of some sort, from a basic web page with contact details on it, to a fully fledged site, with galleries, forums, member discounts and an event diary. Some clubs are global, and others are specific for a geographical region.
Many truck owners already know about truck and owners clubs, and join one the moment they buy a new truck. This is because they already know that such clubs are the best place to find out about their vehicle. In fact this is probably the best time to join, as the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the newly acquired truck can be best explained by someone that already owns one.
Many truck clubs and owners clubs will have details on suppliers of parts and will often be able to point you towards best buys. They also have discounts arranged with suppliers which of course helps with the cost of running the truck. You will also be able to get reccomendations for suppliers and mechanics, this is the best way to find the best service available to you, word of mouth experiences are invaluable.
Events are the highlight of belonging to a club. Often such events have a social element attached to them, which means you gain new friends with a common interest. Such events can range from a simple meet up at a suitable location, to fully fledged gatherings that involve some activity with the vehicle. Many truck clubs arrange the own event days for instance. An additional advantage here, is if you are inexperienced in a particular activity that relates to your vehicle, you gain advice from those that already know, and again, that advice is pertinent to your vehicle.
Some truck clubs and owners clubs also run workshops, or simply gather together to do mechanical work on owners vehicles. It can be a real learning experience to go to such, even if you are not normally comfortable holding a spanner. Over time, you learn to do servicing work on your vehicle, taught by those that actually drive them.
So, how do you find the right car or owners club for your truck? A quick google will probably be all you need. There are also some specific listing sites that can speed up the search for you, such as www.autocrowdgroup.com. Your local dealership may also know of clubs specific to the manufacturer they represent, so worth asking there as well.
You may not want to get too deeply involved in a club, and simply use such for a point of reference, that is ok, not everyone that joins such a club takes up everything that is offered. No matter what level you wish to join at, it is still recommended that you join a club, it will enhance your truck ownership experience and you may find some new friends.

Pacifico came to the sanctuary as one of a number of fighting roosters rescued from a breeder in Alabama. He and the other "Bama Boyz" arrived on an icy morning, their bright feathers and frantic energy bringing color and warmth to a grey, frigid day. Some moved into the coops—a shiny black bird we called Rooftop even managed to charm Fanny—while others took to the trees.
Chickens go feral more easily than any other "domesticated" animal, with the possible exception of cats. Because they are genetically very close to the Red Junglefowl from which chickens descended, roosters exploited in cockfighting (and the hens used to breed them) eagerly "rewild" themselves if allowed the opportunity to do so.
At the sanctuary, we believe in self-determination and freedom for everybody. So, any bird who demonstrates that she or he can do so safely is welcome to choose the trees over the coops. Pacifico and many others made that choice, eventually forming several feral flocks who ranged widely during the days, coming back to the grounds of the sanctuary to sleep at night.
This made our relocation complicated! In the days before the big move from our original location in Maryland to our new spread in Vermont, we had to climb into the trees at dawn and dusk, to gather the feral birds. Poor Pacifico lost a few of his lovely tail feathers in the process! But they have grown back just as beautiful as before, and Pacifio easily made the transition, choosing a tall evergreen tree near the house as his nighttime roosting spot. That means that we get the pleasure of seeing him descend in a flurry of bright feathers every morning.
Gentle Pacifico is popular with hens and gets along well with other roosters, showing patience even when adolescent birds behave badly according to chicken conventions. He sleeps with several hens who also were rescued from cockfighting operations. While he mostly forages with them, he enjoys socializing with a wide variety of hens. (Did we mention that he is very popular?)
As roosters age, they seem to know when it's time to quit sleeping in the trees and start coming into a barn or coop at night. That day may come for Pacifico, who already has been with us for some years. Until then, he makes the most of his freedom, being the bird that he wants to be.

|In that delightful land which is washed by the Delaware waters,
Guarding in sylvan shades the name of Penn the apostle,
Stands on the banks of its beautiful stream the city he founded.
|There all the air is balm, and the peach is the emblem of beauty,
And the streets still re-echo the names of the trees of the forest,
As if they fain would appease the Dryads whose haunts they molested.
There from the troubled sea had Evangeline landed, an exile,
Finding among the children of Penn a home and a country.
|There old René Leblanc had died; and when he departed,
Saw at his side only one of all his hundred descendants.
Something at least there was in the friendly streets of the city,
Something that spake to her heart, and made her no longer a stranger;
And her ear was pleased with the Thee and Thou of the Quakers,
|For it recalled the past, the old Acadian country,
Where all men were equal, and all were brothers and sisters.
So, when the fruitless search, the disappointed endeavor,
Ended, to recommence no more upon earth, uncomplaining,
Thither, as leaves to the light, were turned her thoughts and her footsteps.
|As from the mountain's top the rainy mists of the morning
Roll away, and afar we behold the landscape below us,
Sun-illumined, with shining rivers and cities and hamlets,
So fell the mists from her mind, and she saw the world far below her,
Dark no longer, but all illumined with love; and the pathway
|Which she had climbed so far, lying smooth and fair in the distance.
Gabriel was not forgotten. Within her heart was his image,
Clothed in the beauty of love and youth, as last she beheld him,
Only more beautiful made by his death-like silence and absence.
Into her thoughts of him time entered not, for it was not.
|Over him years had no power; he was not changed, but transfigured;
He had become to her heart as one who is dead, and not absent;
Patience and abnegation of self, and devotion to others,
This was the lesson a life of trial and sorrow had taught her.
So was her love diffused, but, like to some odorous spices,
|Suffered no waste nor loss, though filling the air with aroma.
Other hope had she none, nor wish in life, but to follow
Meekly, with reverent steps, the sacred feet of her Saviour.
Thus many years she lived as a Sister of Mercy, frequenting
Lonely and wretched roofs in the crowded lanes of the city,
|Where distress and want concealed themselves from the sunlight,
Where disease and sorrow in garrets languished neglected.
Night after night, when the world was asleep, as the watchman repeated
Loud, through the gusty streets, that all was well in the city,
High at some lonely window he saw the light of her taper.
|Day after day, in the gray of the dawn, as slow through the suburbs
Plodded the German farmer, with flowers and fruits for the market.
Met he that meek, pale face, returning home from its watchings.

Oklahoma is a land of contrasts; rolling plains, tall grass prairies, heavily wooded hills, and mountains. It's a land of contrasting cultures too: a welding of the Five Civilized Indian Tribes, white settlers, and Plains Indians. All these give a distinctive flavor to travel in different parts of the state. The rugged, frontier spirit is evident in events and attractions statewide.
Eastern Oklahoma is hilly and mountainous with many clear lakes, rivers, and streams. This was the final home of the Five Civilized Tribes after they were forced from ancestral homes in the east to resettle in this part of the country. The heartbreaking Trail of Tears journey to Indian Territory is portrayed each summer at Tahlequah at the Cherokee Heritage Center. The Tahlequah area offers rivers for canoe trips, miles of hiking trails, several state parks, and recreation areas lining large lakes used for boating, fishing, and waterskiing.
Central Oklahoma is taken over by rolling prairies and red-soil-tinted lakes and streams. This was Indian Territory, settled in great land runs near the end of the 19th century, with the Run of 1889 being the most famous. Towns of 10,000 or more people sprang up in a single day. One of them, Oklahoma City, the state's capital and largest city, dominates the region. Along with Tulsa to the northeast, it provides a full urban fare of museums, shopping centers, theaters, zoos, nightlife, hotels, restaurants, golf, tennis, and world-class horse racing.
Western Oklahoma is a rugged land dotted by state parks with lodges and camping areas in secluded places. Along the Cimarron River in northwestern Oklahoma are great Sahara-like sand dunes, and not far away are salt plains like those in Death Valley. Farther west are volcanic mesas, and the granite Wichita Mountains rise to the southwest. This was the ancient home of the Plains Indians. Much evidence of their culture remains in Anadarko, Lawton, and Fort Sill. Powwows featuring dancing and games are held in summer.
The full range of Oklahoma's history can be seen in forts, battlegrounds, log cabins, a homesteader's sod house, capitols of the Indian nations, and mansions of early Oklahoma merchants and oilmen. Modern Oklahoma gives a glimpse of what frontier America was like, yet offers metropolitan advantages in its cities.

We Need Endurance | Part One
Dr. Franklin L. Kirksey | Pastor
First Baptist Church, Spanish Fort, AL
George Orwell (1903-1950) said, "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."[i] Orwell also reportedly said, "The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it." Paul the Apostle describes persecution with an eternal perspective in Romans 8:18, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." He further writes in 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." Paul warns Timothy, "Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution" (2 Timothy 3:12). Paul further explains in 2 Timothy 3:13-17, "But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
Dr. Henry Blackaby writes, "Living a godly life will not insulate you from hardship. Paul said that the more blameless your life, the more likely you will be persecuted. . . . As the world increasingly embraces sin, worldly people are becoming increasingly intolerant of godliness. Darkness cannot tolerate light; the more your life illuminates the presence of Christ, the more you should expect opposition from the forces of darkness. Your Christlike nature will be offensive to those in rebellion against Christ's Lordship. . . . Persecution may be the best evidence that your life is like that of Christ."[ii]
Jesus warned in John 15:18-21, "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me." Although it is often suppressed by the news media, the persecution of Christians is proliferating throughout the world. In times like these we need endurance.
We need endurance to carry on the will of God.
Hebrews 10:36 reads, "For you have need of endurance; so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise." Dr. Marchant A. King (1903-1985) explains, "The writer notes in his reader's lives more of what, in chapter six, he called 'things that accompany salvation' showing his confidence that they are true believers. Their need, then, is for 'patient endurance' in their daily lives, endurance through the unexciting periods of waiting, working, and undergoing trial.
Most Christians, as they seek to do God's will, experience these periods. By enduring, they find that God has been doing His work, conforming them to Christ, and preparing them for His promised blessing."[iii]
In the face of suffering as a trusting obedient Christian, "Keep Calm and Carry On". Hebrews 10:32-39 reads, "But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven. Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 'For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.' But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul." (Emphasis mine) Don Fleming, a prolific author and Bible teacher from Belmont, Queensland, Australia, comments, "The writer encourages his readers not to forsake Christ, by reminding them of what they have suffered for his sake. They have persevered through insults, violence, imprisonments and robberies, because of their confidence of a lasting reward (32-35). Endurance is essential, since there must always be some waiting time before a promise can be fulfilled. For Christians the promised reward will be at Christ's return, when he judges between those who persevere in faith and those who turn back (36-39)."[iv]
Dr. Albert Barnes (1798-1870) explains the following about, "The promised inheritance or reward-in heaven. It is implied here that this promise will not be received unless we are patient in our trials, and the prospect of this reward should encourage us to endure them."[v]
We need endurance to carry out the work of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2 reads, ". . . let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Luke 2:41-50 reads, "[Jesus'] parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it; but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day's journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, 'Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.' And He said to them, 'Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?' But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them." Later, we read in John 1:29, "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, 'Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!'" John 10:25 reads, "Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me.'" John 17:4 reads, "I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do." John 19:30 reads, "So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, 'It is finished!' And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit." We need endurance to fully execute the work of God. Look to Jesus for your example and look to Jesus for your strength to do it! 2 Thessalonians 3:5 reads, "Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ." The word translated "patience" could be translated "endurance".
Dr. George Wells Arms (1881-?) explains, "We do not get the prize by simply making a good start in the race, but it is when we cross the tape at the end of the course."[vi] In Philippians 3:12-14 Paul the Apostle humbly confesses, "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Miles J. Stanford (1914-1999) shares the following in his Principles of Spiritual Growth: "We might consider some familiar names of believers whom God obviously brought to maturity and used for His glory—such as Pierson, Chapman, Tauler, Moody, Goforth, Mueller, Taylor, Watt, Trumbull, Meyer, Murray, Havergal, Guyon, Mabie, Gordon, Hyde, Mantle, McCheyne, McConkey, Deck, Paxson, Stoney, Saphir, Carmichael and Hopkins. The average for these was 15 years after they entered their life work before they began to know the Lord Jesus as their Life and ceased trying to work for Him and began allowing Him to be their All in all and do His work through them. This is not to discourage us in any way but to help us to settle down with our sights on eternity, by faith 'apprehend[ing] that for which also … [we are] apprehended of Christ Jesus… Press[ing] toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus' (Phil. 3:12, 14)."[vii]
At the end of his life Paul the Apostle declares, "For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing" (2 Timothy 4:6-8).

(CBS) ORLANDO, Fla. - It's not clear that the witness will ever be called to the stand, but Casey Anthony trial watchers are abuzz about the possibility that a former Orange County jail inmate named April Whelan might play an 11th hour role in the murder case.
Pictures: Casey and Caylee Anthony, Personal PhotosEarlier today, defense attorney Jose Baez complained to the presiding judge, Belvin Perry Jr., that prosecutors had just given him an indication that they could use in court a conversation that Whelan had - and which Casey Anthony may have heard from an adjacent cell - about the death of Whelan's child by drowning in her family pool. Whelan's father apparently retrieved the body of the child.
The scenario bears a strong similarity to the defense claims, made in opening statements, that Casey Anthony's father George found two-year-old Caylee's body in the family pool and got Casey to participate in a cover-up of the accidental death.
The defense has conceded that Casey was a habitual liar and previous testimony has shown that Casey's lies had often been grounded in a nugget of truth. The Whelan story has piqued interest because of that. Judge Perry has left the door open for Whelan to testify but there's been no indication from prosecutors that she will do that.
Today, defense expert Dr. Richard Eichlenbloom has been on the stand talking about tests he performed on the duct tape found near Caylee Anthony's skull. He says he found no trace DNA on the tape. Prosecutor Jeff Ashton has tried to discredit Eichlenbloom's "science," his methods and his motives. What the jury doesn't know is that Ashton was among the first prosecutors, in 1988 and 1989, to fight to admit DNA science as evidence.
Before Eichlenbloom's testimony, forensic botanist Dr. Jan Bock testified about the vegetation at the site where the body of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony was found. Under questioning by prosecutor Ashton, Bock admitted that she's now changed her opinion on the length of time the child's body was in the woods near the Anthony home. She's now saying it had been at the recovery site no less than two weeks before it was found. In an earlier deposition, Bock said it was impossible to tell.
Defense attorneys may have called Bock to the stand to lay the groundwork for the testimony of another witness -- Roy Kronk, a utility meter reader who called the Orange County, Florida sheriffs office several times about the whereabouts of the then-missing girl. Defense attorneys claim Kronk was after the reward money in the case. In opening statements, Jose Baez called Kronk "morally bankrupt" and suggested he may have played a role in hiding Caylee Anthony's body.
Casey Anthony could get the death penalty if she is found guilty of murdering her daughter.
