The Editor
Welcome to our February 2019 issue of SpotLight. You may
have noticed that we have been running more editorial pieces lately and
this is intentional and is designed to add some more interest to each issue. This month there are various items featuring Valentine's Day including the occasional attempt at humour. Somewhere in the magazine you will find a reply from a reader about the 'Wild Haggis' that appears to be making
somewhat of a comeback to our countryside! We do hope that you enjoy this issue and if you feel that you have an interesting story for us then please do not hesitate to email us on email@example.com

Pastoral Leer & Church Meetings We are already into the second month of a new year, and possibly thinking to ourselves things never seem to slow down. Everything we do is increasing, the need for more money means more work, more crammed into a day, more knowledge, more of everything; but no rest. With the want of more in our lives, comes very little appetite for rest, but then stress and worry take hold. Over the years I have come to find restoration in the words of Jesus through three simple verses in Matthew's Gospel. There we read about Jesus' understanding of a burdened and heavy-laden people around him. Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." I once read a story about a young boy who was looking to find his way forward in life. He approaches a Rabbi (Jewish teacher) and asks can he be taught by him. The Rabbi returns with a question "what do you want to learn?" The boy's answer "the ways of God". The Rabbi replies to the boy, after he knew the boy was ready to learn, "come and take my yoke". The yoke is a Rabbi's
understanding of God, and one he passes on to his student. Jesus, often called Rabbi, wants us to know His understanding of God. The three verses bring us incredible depth to how Jesus wants us to find rest, understanding, and who we can come to know. You will have rest within – This is not a rest of the body as such, not in the same way you want rest after physical hardship. For me it is a rest of the soul, which we wrestle with every day. Jesus alludes to this wrestling early in the passage by telling us He will reveal these things to the little children, rather than the wise and learned. The things He reveals are simple understandings about the gospel message. Also, previously He spoke of the cities, that they should be right with God through being a repentant people. We can be right with God, because Jesus came so we might be saved. You will have rest for the soul - This is a spiritual rest so needed in life. For me this was the point of turning from what I once understood of this passage and a new fresh belief about spiritual rest. For years I had understood the yoke from Jesus was like receiving a cattle yoke that went around the neck – so my heaviness, my weary body, my burdened self would feel relieved. Jesus

often exaggerated the practical items for the reason of understanding in parables. Within this passage the yoke is His understanding of our spiritual needs, He wants us all to take and learn from Him how to get right with God through forgiveness. 'Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.' Jesus uses this phrase, and I believe speaks of an inner work by the Holy Spirit, which we receive through Jesus Christ as Lord. The rest for the soul comes after the acknowledgement we are saved by His grace and mercy, and so coming to God through repentance. The word of God tells us if we are not right with God, if we are not repentant, we will never find true rest. You will know rest with Jesus' yoke, because Jesus' understanding tells us His rest is easy, and His burden is light. When you truly find rest, then it becomes a peace which surpasses everything else in life. The invite is for all of us, come and take Jesus' yoke, and know rest in God.

If you apply traditional shaving cream to your mirror and wipe it down with a paper towel or rag, not only will you rid the mirror of smudges and streaks, but it'll also keep it from fogging up during a shower for a few weeks. This trick is also useful for cleaning your glasses and car windows.

Robert Burns A Red, Red Rose 1794 O my Luve's like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June: O my Luve's like the melodie, That's sweetly play'd in tune.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun; And I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o' life shall run.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass, So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry.
And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve! And fare-thee-weel, a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile!
Robert Burns Love for Love
Robert Burns O Wert Thou in the Cauld Blast
Ithers seek they ken na what, Features, carriage, and a' that; Gie me love in her I court, Love to love maks a' the sport. Let love sparkle in her e'e; Let her lo'e nae man but me; That's the tocher-gude I prize, There the luver's treasure lies.
O wert thou in the cauld blast, On yonder lea, on yonder lea, My plaidie to the aingry airt, I'd shelter thee, I'd shelter thee. Or did misfortune's bitter storms Around thee blaw, around thee blaw, The bield* should be my bosom, To share it a', to share it a'. Or were I in the wildest waste, Sae black and bare, sae black and bare, The desert were a Paradise, If thou wert there, if thou wert there; Or were I monarch o' the globe, Wi' thee to reign, wi' thee to reign, The brightest jewel in my crown Wad be my queen, wad be my queen!

By Bridget Collins
The Binding
Man With No Face
1979. Jaded Edinburgh journalist Neil Bannerman is sent to Europe, intent on digging up dirt. Yet it is danger he discovers, when two British men are found murdered. One victim is a journalist, the other a Cabinet Minister: the double-assassination witnessed by the former's autistic daughter. This girl recalls every detail about her father's killer - except for one. Bannerman is compelled to follow his instincts. He is now fighting to expose a murderous conspiracy, protect a helpless child, and unmask a remorseless killer.
Adult Non Fiction
Emmett Farmer is working in the fields when a letter arrives summoning him to begin an apprenticeship. He will work for a Bookbinder, a vocation that arouses fear, superstition and prejudice - but one neither he nor his parents can afford to refuse. He will learn to hand-craft beautiful volumes, and within each he will capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory. If there's something you want to forget, he can help. If there's something you need to erase, he can assist. Your past will be stored safely in a book and you will never remember your secret, however terrible. Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing discovery: one of them has his name on it.
Churchill: Walking With Destiny By Andrew Roberts Winston Churchill towers over every other figure in twentieth-century British history. By the time of his death at the age of 90 in 1965, many thought him to be the greatest man in the world. There have been over a thousand previous biographies of Churchill. The author draws on over forty new sources, including the private diaries of King George VI, used in no previous Churchill biography to depict him more intimately and persuasively than any of its predecessors.
Teenage Fiction
What if it's us? By Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera Two very different boys, Ben and Arthur, can't decide if the universe is pushing them together—or pulling them apart. A chance meeting at the post office, leaves them wondering what exactly the universe does have in store for them. What if - in a city of eight million people - they can't find each other again? What if they do ... and then can't nail a first date even after three do-overs?
Adult Non Fiction
The Light in the Dark: a Winter Journal By Horatio Clare Winter can be tough. Seasonal sadness; winter blues; depression such feelings are widespread in the darker months. But by looking outwards, by being in and observing nature, we can appreciate its rhythms. Horatio Clare raises a torch against the darkness, illuminating the blackest corners of the season. By learning to see, we can find the magic, the light that burns bright at the heart of winter: spring will come again.
Junior Fiction
Death in the Spotlight By Robin Stevens
Fresh from their adventure in Hong Kong, Hazel Wong and Daisy Wells are off to the Rue Theatre in London to face an entirely new challenge: acting. But danger has a nasty habit of catching up with the Detective Society, and it soon becomes clear that there is trouble afoot at the Rue. Jealousy, threats and horrible pranks quickly spiral out of control – and then a body is found. Now Hazel and Daisy must take centre stage and solve the crime... before the murderer strikes again.
The Garden TOM ANGEL IS A
structures can overwhelm and suffocate a garden. Similarly an abundance of small objects or differing landscaping materials in a garden can make it feel fussy.
ANGEL HORTICULTURE LTD. TOM ALSO BLOGS AS 'THE MOUNTAIN GARDENER' WHICH YOU CAN FIND ON HIS WEBSITE AT WWW.ANGELHORT.COM Winter took a while to arrive this year, but as I write this it looks as if the snow is arriving any day. There are always jobs to be done in the garden but this time of year is ideal for planning ahead too. With many plants having died back or lost their leaves we have a great opportunity to look at the structure of our gardens. In fact I really enjoy looking round famous gardens in the winter as without lush growth spilling out of all the beds, it is much easier to see the framework upon which the garden has been built. It is this framework that makes the gardens 'feel' nice to look at and be in. We can do the same in our own gardens. A common issue is one of balance. Look out into your garden now and perhaps you can work out what is throwing the balance off in your own garden. A big shed on one side, for example, needs to be balanced on the other side of the garden. Don't worry, it doesn't have to be another shed! The rule is that it needs to be something of a similar overall mass - a large bush or new tree might suffice. Perhaps you have plants that are out of proportion for your garden? Many people have trees that are too large. Disproportionately large plants or
Harmony within a garden is important, but can be a delicate issue to work around. If you have too many of the same plants or materials going on in a garden it can become too formal, or just plain dull. However, by simply including a few of the same species in several of your flowerbeds and in different parts of the garden, you can tie the garden together and make it feel far more intentional. When it comes to your planting scheme perhaps you feel that some of your favourites are lost within the garden. The answer here is often to plant in groups. Hellebores are a great example here, on their own they can look a bit lonely at best, and downright miserable at worst! Plant them in a group however and you have an indispensable addition to your garden. Maybe you feel you are lacking colour in your garden at certain times during the year. A great way to get round this is to decide to go to a local garden centre once a month for the next twelve months, and each time you're there buy something that's in flower. Hey presto, you'll have flowers in your garden throughout the year in no time! Hopefully that gives you a few ideas to be going on with.

The Coogie Urquhart Snowman Rally Saturday, 9th February 2019 from 08:00-18:00 Starting at: Fairways, Inver ness www.snowmanrally.co.uk Find us on Facebook for more information
A History of the Snowman Rally (Written by Iain Campbell Snr & Jim McGill)
The first organised in February 1955 was a closed to club event using tarmac roads and covering over 350 miles. The inaugural event was run overnight with high tea available before the start at 10pm. Finishers could enjoy the luxury of a cooked breakfast for 7/6 (37p). Of course there was no Nomex racewear in those days. Instead the fashionable gear was Norwegian sweaters, with matching "bunnets". Interestingly, bunnets have again become a regular feature of the event since 1999 as a thank you to our volunteer marshals. While 50 successful and highly competitive rallies have been organised, only three have had to be cancelled at the last minute. In 1969 lack of a sponsor forced the event to be cancelled; the world oil crisis led to a rallying ban in 1972; and two years later the RAC banned rallying because of the outbreak of foot and
mouth disease across the whole of the UK. In 1962 the mileage covered by the rally had been reduced to 250 miles. It was though, still an overnight event starting at 10pm, with a half-hour halt for fuel and refreshments . The entry fee was ÂŁ1.05 with a deposit of ÂŁ1.50 for the sealed watch carried in each car. The ÂŁ1.50 was refundable at the end of the rally when the watch was returned intact to the organisers. Many of the trophies from that era are still part of the Snowman prize list. The organisers promised "a route of over 250 miles of typically highland terrain, but we have striven to eliminate untarred tracks, impossible time schedules, steep hills, and regularity sections" In 1959 the rally had two start points, Monte Carlo style, at Inverness and Elgin and such was the growing success of the Snowman that it had become
known favourably as "the poor man's Monte Carlo". In 1964 Iain Sutherland, the outright winner, virtually had to be lifted out of his car as a frozen lump because he had removed the driver's door in something of a farcical, but nonetheless rapid manoeuvre. Finding himself in a position where he needed to reverse in a hurry, Iain glanced in his rearview mirror to find the rear window completely misted up. Undaunted, he threw open his driver's door, peered into the dark, reversed at speed ... and ripped the door clean off its hinges against a rather substantial, but unseen, snowbank. In 1967, the event ventured into the forests: 65 stage miles combined with a number of selectives on public roads to give a total competitive mileage of 300 miles throughout Inverness-shire and Moray.

The organisers permitted the use of studded (but not spiked) tyres. Route books were issued one hour before each competitor's start time. The overnight rally, which was popularly sponsored by beer-makers McEwens, began at 10.31pm on the Saturday from Inverness, finishing at Aviemore on Sunday morning at 11am, where lunch was available for the equivalent of 32p. Entry fees had increased to £4.20, no doubt the increase was due to the cost of using Forestry Commission roads. The following year stage mileage increased to 100 miles, while the road mileage of 250 miles was used only as road sections as we know today. The rally started in Spean Bridge at 10pm and OS maps 27, 28, 29, 35, 36, 37, and 38 were required. Crews were warned in the supplementary regulations that smoking during the course of a special stage would result in exclusion! In 1972 there were three classes up to 1000cc; 1001 to 1300cc; and over 1300cc. Total mileage was 300 with 100 miles of timed stages. The start was in Fort William at 9pm and the finish was at the Royal Stuart Motor Hotel, Inverness (Drumossie) at 7am on Sunday morning. By now the entry fee had increased to £12. Service cars were allowed, but had to have pre-glued stickers fixed to the inside of the driver's rear
passenger window. And as an indication as to how things have changed, the programme advertised a new 2.0-litre BMW for £2,197. The following year the first Snowman Rally ran in daylight and Roger Clark won the rally with the Esso Uniflo Ford Escort from a lowly seeding position of five. The highest seeded locals were A. Martin and Fiona Kennedy at 37 in an Imp; Vince Finlayson and Hector Munro, both also in Imps, were seeded 42 and 50, Terry Glendinning was in car 54 in a BMW and Dougie Riach was in car 58, a Ford Escort. Wilson Girvan was entered at 102 in another Escort. The rally attracted a full entry of 120 plus seven reserves and 1973 also marked the introduction of the 60mph stage 'bogey', or target, for competitors.
1991 supplementary regulations said 'As in previous years our sport is again having to endure excessive rising costs from both the Forestry Commission and the RACMSA, but despite this we are able to offer 50 stage miles for an entry fee of £148.' Our 2005 Forest costs were £475 per mile plus £60 permit and insurance fees per car.
The Snowman Rally has changed dramatically since that cold night in 1955 when the first competitors set off, but we still get the same challenges of weather, testing roads, and luck, things just happen quicker than they did in 1955.
Valentine's Day A History
Valentine's Day began to be popularly celebrated around the 17th century. By the middle of the 18th, it was common for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes, and by 1900 printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one's feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine's Day greetings.
Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages, though written Valentines didn't begin to appear until after 1400. The oldest known Valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London, following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. (The greeting is now part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London.) Several years later, it is believed that King Henry V hired a writer named John Lydgate to compose a Valentine note to Catherine of Valois.
The history of Valentine's Day–and the story of its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realising the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Approximately 150 million Valentine's Day cards are exchanged annually, making Valentine's Day the second most popular card sending holiday after Christmas.

The full size premium luxury sedan segment is dominated for the most part by the Germans. However, should you look around, you'll realize the Japanese know a thing or two about making a premium luxury sedan as well.
* Quality of materials used is phenomenal.
* Tweaks can be accommodated, but it's probably time for the LS to get a proper makeover.
The full-size premium luxury sedan segment is dominated for the most part by the Germans. However, should you look around, you'll realize the Japanese know a thing or two about making a premium luxury sedan as well. The Lexus LS has received tweak after tweak, year after year, since the introduction of the 4th generation model in 2007. The 2015 model is beautiful and flaunts the trademark spindle grille, a neat hood composed of soft lines and a prominent, protruding bulge in the centre along with L shaped LED's that integrate into the headlamp and taillamp clusters.
If you've sat in the Lexus IS, ES or GS, the interior of the LS is going to be a déjà vu. Nearly everything is in the same place and that isn't necessarily a bad thing, because it's neat and well laid out. But it's the quality of materials that will have your jaw hit the floor; nearly everything you touch is either leather or wood and leaves very little exposed plastic. With ample amounts of head and leg room for the Royalty riding in the back, along with the option of reclining, heated, cooled and massage seats, the number of people willing to ride shotgun is clearly set to fall drastically.
A distinct feature in most premium vehicles is the analogue clock that adorns the dashboard. The Lexus LS is no different, however, the clock possesses a unique feature that allows it to adjust automatically when crossing time zones. More interestingly, passengers riding in the back of the LS can experience an Ottoman therapeutic pressure massage while watching Blu Ray DVD's on the 9 inch TV screens placed on the back of the front headrests.
What's on offer?
The 2015 Lexus LS pushes out 386 horsepower and 498 Nm of torque from its 4.6 litre V8 engine to touch 100 km/h in an extremely impressive 5.4 seconds. Hop over into hybrid territory, however, and the 5.0 litre V8 engine directs 438 horsepower and 521 Nm of torque through a CVT transmission to an All Wheel Drive layout.
Summing it…
With a price tag ranging from AED 310,000 – AED 505,000, one thing is clear. The Lexus LS is not cheap. But it may just be worth it when you begin to consider the features, drive, comfort and street cred it brings with it.

2018 Mercedes-AMG S 63 4Matic
Rated 5 stars
A tech marvel that commands respect if only for its breadth of abilities, even if you're not a fan of the looks or have subjective qualms - the latest Mercedes-AMG S 63 ups the power, ups the performance, and the luxury. It ups the ante. It's a supercar with massaging seats
Aston Martin DB11
Rated 4.5 stars
Silky V12 engine and such road composure make the new DB11 the quintessential Grand Touring car, so don't approach with too many sporting pretensions.
2014 Hyundai Centennial
Rated 4.5 stars
The Hyundai Centennial is Korea's epitome of luxury. It is what the Rolls-Royce is to the British and what the S-Class is to the German's. But unlike the aforementioned vehicles which fall way out of the budget for majority of us, the Centennial is affordable.
2014 Volvo XC90
Rated 5 stars 1
The Volvo XC90 is one of the best mid-sized luxury SUV's around. Comfort and versatility aplenty, an area where it beats its main rivals convincingly.
2014 Mazda 3
Rated 5 stars 1
Most of us have probably noticed how a Mazda Miata has a grinning front end; the cheer has spread to the rest of the line-up including the Mazda 3, except with a sharper edge that means business. Mazda has altered the styling for 2014 drastically and the all new Mazda 3 is surely a stunner.
2014 Infiniti QX70
Rated 5 stars 1
The Infiniti QX70 is a mid-size crossover that was formerly referred to as the FX right from its inception in 2003 until 2013 when Infiniti decided to go on a renaming spree. The Lexus RX and Audi Q5 are just two of the many competitors the QX70 goes up against.

Word of Caution: Despite all of these health benefits of rooibos tea, there can be a downside for some people. Since rooibos is so powerful, it can interfere with treatments for various conditions, including chemotherapy for cancer patients. Also, rooibos has shown estrogenic activities in certain studies, so it might not be a good idea to use if you have hormone-sensitive cancer like breast cancer.
These are some of the many benefits but the reality is one cup of tea a day will not give you all the abundant gains. The jury is out on how many cups are necessary; some say as little as two cups a day while others five cups. If you are thinking of going down this route, you may want to consider taking a green tea supplement instead (it would keep you out of the bathroom).
Green tea is processed using either artisanal or modern methods. Sun-drying, basket or charcoal firing, or pan-firing are common artisanal methods. Oven-drying, tumbling, or steaming are common modern methods.[32] Processed green teas, known as aracha, are stored under low humidity refrigeration in 30- or 60-kg paper bags at 0–5 °C (32–41 °F). This aracha has yet to be refined at this stage, with a final firing taking place before blending, selection and packaging take place. The leaves in this state will be re-fired throughout the year as they are needed, giving the green teas a longer shelf-life and better flavor. The first flush tea of May will readily store in this fashion until the next year's harvest. After this re-drying process, each crude tea will be sifted and graded according to size. Finally, each lot will be blended according to the blending order by the tasters and packed for sale.[33]
Tea plants that are specifically grown and used to make matcha are also typically shaded for two weeks to increase chlorophyll levels before the leaves are picked, further boosting concentration of healthy compounds. Matcha green tea tends to be more expensive than buying tea leaves for steeping, but a little goes a long way. Matcha is usually available in powder form and is a good choice for adding green tea's taste and the benefits of green tea to recipes like smoothies, baked goods or ice cream.
This tea is a rich source of antispasmodic agents, which can ease severe stomach cramps and abdominal pains. This is mainly due to the activation of K+ (potassium) ions in the body without antagonizing the activities of calcium, according to a report published in the Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology. This can reduce the presence of hyperactivity in the gastrointestinal tract, thus preventing diarrhea and other intestinal issues.
Several varieties of green tea exist, which differ substantially based on the variety of C. sinensis used, growing conditions, horticultural methods, production processing, and time of harvest. Although there has been considerable research on the possible health effects of consuming green tea regularly, there is little evidence that drinking green tea has any effects on health.[2]
"Red tea" is the name the Chinese use for what we in the west call "black tea." All true tea comes from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. The differences between types of tea result from different methods of processing the leaves. For green tea, the tea leaves are steamed, rolled and dried, a method that preserves the content of polyphenols, antioxidant compounds that confer the well-known health benefits of tea. For black tea, the leaves undergo a process of oxidation that changes the color and flavor and reduces the content of polyphenols. Oolong is intermediate between green and black tea – in color, flavor and polyphenol content.
Heat or boil water, but don't let it completely boil and become too hot, as this can destroy some of the delicate compounds found in green tea leaves. The "ideal" temperature for brewing green tea is between 160 degrees Fahrenheit to 180 degrees F (traditionally standard Chinese green teas brew at a slightly higher temperatures). Pour hot water into the teapot to steep the leaves for only about 1–3 minutes. Larger leaves need more time to steep than finer, smaller leaves. At this point you can also add any fresh herbs you plan on steeping.
What are the health benefits of black tea? Black tea is a popular drink worldwide. Polyphenols and other ingredients may make tea drinking not only a pleasant social ritual, but good for health, too. It may help beat stress, boost thinking, decrease cancer risk, and reduce arthritis. However, too much can cause heart arrhythmias. Find out more. Read now
A Medline search of articles on tea and its health effects yields scores of reports in the medical and scientific literature in the past several years. What emerges is a significant body of literature from animal studies showing that green tea may prevent heart disease and cancer. Other studies have also suggested that it may help avert osteoporosis, a condition characterized by fragile bones, and that it might have beneficial effects on skin when applied topically.
Research also shows that green tea lowers total cholesterol, improving the overall cholesterol profile. One population-based clinical study found that men who drink green tea are more likely to have lower total cholesterol than those who do not drink green tea. Other clinical studies that look at populations of people indicate that the antioxidant properties of green tea may help prevent atherosclerosis, particularly coronary artery disease. The benefits also seem to extend to preventing stroke, reducing high blood pressure, and inhibiting the formation of blood clots. Much of the effect may also be due to the ability of green tea to help lower blood sugar and insulin levels.
Burdock Root - a member of the daisy family that originated in Eurasia - is now firmly established as a naturalized plant in North America. Herbalists value burdock for helping to detoxify the liver. The root is served as a food in Japan, where it is known as gobo. Resembling a long brown carrot, burdock can be prepared in the same way you might enjoy a carrot, such as fresh juice or in a stir-fry dish.
contains antioxidants, including polyphenols such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which can powerfully quench damaging "free radicals," metabolic byproducts that are chemically reactive and can damage cells. According to a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the polyphenols found in green tea provide six times the radical-quenching potential of those found in black tea.
Studies on green tea's impact on cancer have been mixed. But green tea is known to aid healthy cells in all stages of growth. There are some clues that green tea may help destroy cancer cells, but that research is still in its early stages, so you shouldn't count on green tea to prevent cancer. In fact, the National Cancer Institute's web site says it "does not recommend for or against the use of tea to reduce the risk of any type of cancer."
With the day-to-day stress that life throws our way, it's essential to stock up on self-care items to stay healthy, invigorated, and relaxed. Incorporating a cup of healthy detox tea into your daily regimen can bring significant health benefits, from boosting your immune system to detoxifying the liver after those holiday parties and whiskey cocktails. Here are our picks for detox tea cleanses you should be sipping this season.
But matcha didn't skyrocket to celeb status on health merits alone. As we said back in 2011, wheatgrass is healthy, too, but we're not seeing it in every other bakery and café. Matcha has flavor going for it—grassy, pleasantly vegetal, and slightly bitter—and a brilliant natural color that makes baked goods (like rainbow cookies) stand out from the crowd in busy bakeries (and on Instagram).
Generally, lower-quality green teas are steeped hotter and longer while higher-quality teas are steeped cooler and shorter, but usually multiple times (2-3 typically). Higher-quality teas like gyokuro use more tea leaves and are steeped multiple times for short durations. Steeping too hot or too long results in the release of excessive amounts of tannins, leading to a bitter, astringent brew, regardless of initial quality. The brew's taste is also affected by the steeping technique; two important ones are to warm the steeping container beforehand to prevent the tea from immediately cooling down, and to leave the tea leaf in the pot and gradually add more hot water during consumption.[citation needed]
A juniper berry is not a true berry, but is a seed cone with unusually fleshy and merged scales that give it a berry-like appearance. Used as a spice in European cuisine, juniper berry has been used in traditional herbal medicine to support kidney and urinary tract function, as well as to help maintain healthy blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range. The essential oil can be stimulating to the kidneys. The warming and bitter properties support digestion and can soothe intestinal gas. Juniper berry can also be warming for the joints.
Did the detox tea drastically change my life? No. But did it reduce bloat, give me some new confidence, and taste great in the process? Yes. If you're looking for a quick solution to lose weight, this is not for you. But if you're looking for a delicious supplemental addition to a consistent workout regimen and a healthy diet, this IS for you. Don't expect the tea to do all the work for you, but expect it to work with you — helping you out wherever you're at on your journey to your healthiest self.
Ginger Root, the underground stem, or rhizome, of the plant Zingiber officinale, has been used in many herbal traditions since ancient times. In Ayurveda, Ginger is known as the wonder herb, and it's no wonder, since Ayurveda employs Ginger for a wide variety of health applications, including digestive support. Historically, Ginger Root was also one of the most respected herbs for supporting joint health. Additionally, Ginger Root has been traditionally used to support healthy peripheral circulation; and can aid in warming up cold hands and feet, and will also promote sweating when needed.
Matcha comes in several grades that aren't officially regulated, but the most important distinction is between ceremonial and culinary grade matcha. Ceremonial grade is made from the youngest, most tender tea leaves and is smooth and fine in texture. Use it when you're planning to drink pure, unadulterated matcha or a top-notch latte. Culinary matcha is a less expensive and made from comparatively older leaves. It is best for baking, cooking, or making blended drinks where the matcha flavor is not imperative. ("Premium" or "select" matcha is somewhere in between the two major grades, and you can find organic versions of matcha in each category.)
A well-known compound found in green tea is called EGCG (which stands for epigallocatechin-3-gallate). EGCG is associated with enhanced metabolic activities that may prevent weight gain or assist with weight maintenance. Some of the ways that EGCG seems to work is by boosting thermogenesis (the body producing heat by using energy) and suppressing appetite, although not every study has found evidence that these effects are substantial.
This cleansing tea also contains appetite-suppressing ingredients including yerba mate, guarana and damiana (1), so you can enjoy a cup any time you want to quell your hunger, and in place of unhealthy snacks. Also includes powerful and highly beneficial organic green tea, oolong, ginger, pomegranate and more. Take a sip of paradise and reach your goals at the same time!
All that being said, it should come as no surprise that I fell victim to the active marketing campaigns of one of the year's biggest trends: fitness teas. You know what I'm talking about: stars and influencers like Kylie Jenner, Catherine Giudici Lowe, and Vanessa Hudgens are touting the successes of their respective experiences with fitness teas. These teas (by various brands) claim to eliminate bloat, cleanse your insides, and detoxify your organs. They claim to help you lose weight and curb cravings. Seriously? I thought as I scrolled through ad after ad. Sign. Me. Up.
In 1994, Burke International registered the name "Rooibos" with the US Patent and Trademark Office, thus establishing a monopoly on the name in the United States at a time when it was virtually unknown there. When the plant later entered more widespread use, Burke demanded that companies either pay fees for use of the name, or cease its use. In 2005, the American Herbal Products Association and a number of import companies succeeded in defeating the trademark through petitions and lawsuits; after losing one of the cases, Burke surrendered the name to the public domain.[13]

Yikes that past CM experience..! I wonder which game got to suffer Dark Bex's fury.
Congratulations, we're lucky to have you!
You don't know it, it went to another school.
We've got 2 numbers to go by I'm sure we could all work together and bring back the cringe.
If anyone was going to go through this insane effort I would expect it to be you.
Two usage numbers, an estimate of when the game was played, probably developed by single person or a small team, the knowledge that the highest level character was hated and the fact that it doesn't have a levelcap.
May the hunt commence! On the other hand, let dead servers be still?
The game is tibia ;-). Lots of stories that actual players accounts were made into gm accounts rather than new ones created for them which = a lot of power and corruption.
it does sound like tibia, but tibia was still pretty old ~11 years ago, and being the max level on just a single server (not even worldwide) required an absolutely insane amount of time. bex doesn't strike me as someone who would've dedicated 23 hours a day to a game... but it is funny to imagine that she was the level 100 who bullied me into cleaning up the trash on the kazordoon bridge under threat of PK...
yeah, i meant max level as in the highest level character on that server. bad choice of words
That part of your write-up really stood out to me. Really great that you can look back and see it and want to do better. Very few moderators / admins / community managers seem to be able to look back and step outside and see things more objectively.
You're a huge asset to GGG and a big part of why this community is so successful. We all love this game and love the interaction and humor of your posts on Reddit. Thanks for all you and the entire team do for us gamers!

Alastair Mundy: The 10-10-10 rule
Including a 'future us' in decision-making
I recently decided to reduce my running commitments.There will be no press coverage of this and no big testimonial dinner has been organised: given my ability I will be of no loss whatsoever to the running community - although running shoe manufacturers will miss me greatly.
My decision is not due to injury or old age, but instead to longer-term concerns over the damage I may do to myself if I push my luck for another five or ten years. To many this decision seems entirely...
