These bright Mediterranean stuffed zucchini boats make the perfect appetizer or side dish in less than 20 minutes! We've got healthy, vegetarian zucchini with Mediterranean favorites like cherry tomatoes, feta, fresh herbs, and a little lemon zest. You can grill the zucchini outdoors or right in your skillet, delicious either way. And if you want to change up your zucchini boats filling, be sure to check out all the ideas below!
Stuffed zucchini is not really a new idea. My mom has been making her famous stuffed zucchini for years–a recipe that's been passed down for generations (if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend you check it out here.)
Ideas evolve, at least good ones do. And food is no exception. I, for one, enjoy seeing beloved traditional recipes take on a new life turning into equally delicious, but, perhaps, more accessible options.
Case in point: stuffed zucchini for the modern cook = zucchini boats!
There's a reason people go nuts for zucchini boats. They are easy to make–no special "cheffy" skills needed–and they just make the perfect carrier for whatever filling you like! Just for fun, when you hop on Instagram next, just do a quick search for #zucchiniboats and you'll get something north of 13,000 ideas!
How to Make These Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Making these grilled vegetarian zucchini boats is super simple. Here's how it goes:
1. Brush zucchini halves with Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil, and season to your taste (I used salt, pepper and dry oregano)
2.Grill, either outdoors or even in your skillet or griddle. Tip: grill zucchini until tender and nicely charred, this brings out the delicious flavor!
3.Turn grilled zucchini halves into boats by simply scooping the flesh out (do not discard the tender charred flesh, it's so tasty).
4. Make a filling/stuffing for the grilled zucchini boats. The possibilities for the filling here are endless here (see more examples below), but I kept my filling simple, leaning more towards fresh and vegetarian options.
To make filling, Combine zucchini flesh with Mediterranean favorites like tomato, feta, green onions, and fresh herbs. I love using a couple different herbs here like mint and parsley…so fresh! And if you like a little extra zest, then do as I have and add a squeeze of lemon juice.
Other Filling Options for Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Just a few more Mediterranean filling ideas for your zucchini boats here, if you ever want to change things up:
- You can change up the existing filling/stuffing in this recipe by simply adding more vegetarian items like: a handful baby spinach, olives, marinated artichokes. And if you like things spicy, add a pinch of hot pepper flakes (Oooh or even a little harissa, which is not necessarily spicy but will add an interesting kick!)
- You can turn this into Zucchini Boat Antipasti (say that with an Italian accent, it's fun!) Just give your filling/stuffing a little Italian flare using baby mozzarella, fresh basil, and maybe a little cured meat like Prosciutto or salami.
- If you're up for a little extra work, then make the meat and rice stuffing from this stuffed pepper recipe (it does make more than you need for 6 zucchini halves, but then you'll have more rice to eat later. Or, make more zucchini boats!) I like this option more if you were serving them for dinner.
Serve them as an Appetizer or Side
Mediterranean grilled zucchini boats are an obvious choice for mezze or appetizer hour. If you're serving a larger crowd, you can cut the zucchini halves crosswise to create smaller "boats" that are much easier to pick up (no fork and knife needed.) A dollop of Tzatziki sauce on top doesn't hurt a bit! Mezze platter; Chickpea Egg salad; Smoky Eggplant Dip; Kibbeh and the like are great items to add a long for a full grazing table.
Or you can serve these grilled zucchini boats as a side next to things like: easy lemon chicken; Greek keftedes; Pan-Seared Trout; or Baked Salmon.

Mediterranean Grilled Zucchini Boats
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 7 mins
- Total Time: 17 minutes
- Yield: 6 zucchini boats 1x
Easy grilled zucchini boats filled with Mediterranean favorites like tomatoes, feta, and fresh herbs. A bright and healthy appetizer or side! Be sure to check out the notes for tips and ideas.
- 3 zucchini, trimmed and sliced length-wise into halves
- Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper, sprinkle to your liking
- Dried oregano, large sprinkle to your liking
- 6 oz/170.1 g cherry tomatoes, sliced in halves
- 3 green onions (both white and green parts), ends trimmed, chopped
- 1/2 cup/ 75 g crumbled feta cheese, more to your liking
- 6 to 10 fresh mint leaves, chopped
- Large handful fresh parsley, chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Splash lemon juice (not too much)
- If cooking on gas grill, lightly oil the grate and preheat grill to medium-low. (OR, heat a cast iron skillet or indoor griddle over medium heat.)
- Brush zucchini generously with extra virgin olive oil on both sides. Season zucchini (particularly flesh side) with salt, freshly ground pepper, and oregano.
- Place zucchini, flesh-side down, on the preheated grill (or indoor griddle). Grill for 3 to 5 minutes until soft and nicely charred, then turn on back side and grill for another 3 to 5 minutes until this side is also tender and gains some color. (If using an indoor skillet or griddle, you may need to adjust heat to medium-high.)
- Remove zucchini from heat and let cool enough to handle.
- To create zucchini boats, use a small spoon to scoop out the flesh into a small bowl (do not discard.) Squeeze all liquid out of zucchini flesh (you might use a linen kitchen towel or paper towel to do this.)
- Now add zucchini flesh to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients (cherry tomatoes, green onions, feta, mint, parsley, lemon zest, and small splash of lemon juice). Sprinkle a little more oregano, if you like, and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Mix everything together to make the filling.
- Spoon the filling mixture into the prepared zucchini boats and arrange on a serving platter. Enjoy!
- Cook's Tips: You can cut the zucchini halves crosswise to create smaller "boats" that can be easily picked up by hand. This is ideal if you're serving a larger crowd as an appetizer (yields 12 instead of 6).
- Cook's Tip: Grill zucchini until tender and nicely charred – this brings out the delicious flavor!
- Cook's Tip: A drizzle of Greek Tzatziki sauce really seals the deal on these zucchini boats. Find recipe for homemade Tzatziki here.
- Make Ahead Option: You can grill the zucchini ahead of time, then when ready to serve, follow recipe from step #5.
- What to Serve Zucchini Boats with: Serve zucchini boats as part of a larger mezze or appetizer table next to things like, Mezze platter, Chickpea Egg salad; Smoky Eggplant Dip; Kibbeh and the like. OR turn them into dinner next to your favorite protein like: easy lemon chicken; Greek keftedes; Pan-Seared Trout; or Baked Salmon.
- Other Filling Options: You can change up the existing filling in this recipe by simply adding more vegetarian items like a handful baby spinach, olives, or marinated artichokes. Or turn this into Zucchini Boats Antipasti. Just give your filling a little Italian flare using baby mozzarella, fresh basil, and maybe a little cured meat like Prosciutto or salami.

See the Sun Come Down
Amanda felt the gentle pull of the leash in her hand, leading her forward for a couple minutes. Then the pulling stopped, and she heard Destiny, her dog, let loose a small bark, notifying her that she should not go forward. Usually, that means that they have reached a curb. Amanda also knew that they were at a curb from years of experience walking around the streets, and from the whooshing of the cars as they rush by her. She knows her elementary school is right across the street.
She doesn't normally look forward to school. If she could see it, she might be more happy to be there. It's not fun being the only one in your class. It's not fun being the only blind kid in your school, either.
Destiny leads her inside. Destiny also knows the way around the school. She's been Amanda's companion for years now. Amanda and Destiny walk into the building, heading to the lonely classroom. There is a surprise, though. Both Amanda and Destiny hear talking. And it's not one voice, like when Ms. Cam sometimes talks to herself while getting the room prepared for Amanda.
Ms. Cam notices Amanda and Destiny, and she hears footsteps walking towards her and her dog. Two pairs of footsteps.
"Good morning Amanda! How's your morning been so far?" Comes Ms. Cam's voice. I nod.
"Great." Amanda doesn't want to tell Ms. Cam that she noticed the other person in the room, but then she realizes that she had paused her usual chatter and was waiting for her to say something.
"Hey, who do those footsteps belong to?" she asks.
"I'm happy to see you." Said an unfamiliar voice. It sounded like the girl who was speaking was in college, maybe high school. Her voice was deeper sounding and friendly.
"My name's Alena. Nice to meet you." Amanda felt the tiniest swoosh of air as the girl held out her hand. She reaches out her hand and feels the air in front of her. The hand takes hold of hers and shakes it.
"I'm Amanda." She lowers her hand, another swoosh of air, and Amanda does the same. The girl starts talking again.
"I'm here because I go to school at a college learning how to become a special needs teacher. They sent me here to watch Ms. Cam do her job and for me to help out." She seems to be done with her little speech.
"Thanks." Amanda says. "I'm glad you're here." And with those words, she started on the day.
Amanda hands Destiny's leash to Ms. Cam and Alena leads her to her desk. It is the only desk in the room. Amanda could tell it was Alena because her hand was smaller than Ms. Cam's hand. She sat down and heard a plop as Alena sat in a chair opposite her. Amanda wishes she could see her. She bets she would have a beautiful face, to go along with her beautiful voice.
They work on mental math. Even though Amanda's in 3rd grade, she still has to be able to work fast when it comes to mental math. Ms. Cam says that Amanda will thank them later, but Amanda doesn't think so. Alena is a really good and nice teacher.
"Fifty four plus forty six?"
"One hundred."
"Thirty two plus fifty three?"
"Eighty five."
It went on like this for a while, before it was time for lunch. Ms. Cam left the two girls alone to eat and catch up on each other.
"Hey, Amanda?" Asked Alena.
"What do you feel when someone calls you blind?" She couldn't answer. She didn't want to. But she knew she had to. Otherwise, Amanda knew, Alena wouldn't trust her as much as she already did.
"I feel left out of the crowd, when someone calls me blind. I don't know, it's just that I can't be normal. I'm the only one in this whole school that's blind." Amanda sighs.
"Yeah. Hey, I know you can't see me, but I am kind of like you, if that makes you feel better. I've had a terrible limp since I was in third grade." Amanda smiles slightly in front of her. That does, in fact, help her feel better.
"You're pretty cool. You should get an award for the coolest kid in this school. And do you know how I know you're the coolest?"
"How?" Amanda is very curious about this topic.
"Because I've worked with every single student here, or at least met them. That's how I know you're the coolest."
Amanda smiles. If only she could see this amazing student teacher.
Amanda hears Ms. Cam walk back into the room. She feels the whoosh of air as Alena stands. And, if she strains her ears, she can hear a faint plop of her good foot and the quick sound of her bad foot.
Alena opens up a little more every day about her past. Amanda loves listening to the stories she tells.
"... and then, Melany slid across the floor, laughing her face off. I joined in, and we laughed a long time. It was hard to breathe after that." Amanda giggled with her for a moment or so, until Ms. Cam came in.
"What's with the long face?" She heard Alena ask. Alena bent over and whispered, "She looks like she's going to melt!" Amanda giggles at the thought. She hears Ms. Cam answer.
"Just a bad day." She says, in an sad, low voice. Amanda feels the swoosh of a nod.
"We all have those." Alena says, and Amanda hears slight sadness in her voice. Footsteps walk over to where Ms. Cam's desk should be, and a plop of her sitting down. She hears tying.
"Okay, Amanda! You too, Destiny. It's time to begin!" Alena says, ready for the day to start. She grabs Amanda's hand, and leads her out of her desk to a corner with books. She hands Amanda a book.
"We've never done these before, but I think you can. I think you're ready." Says Alena. "We've been learning all the letters of braille, remember that?" Amanda nods. She does remember it, with all of the little dots on paper, shaped into patterns. Alena opens the book in her hands with the whoosh of air.
"Okay. You can feel whenever you're ready." Alena tells her. Amanda tentatively reaches out her hand, and when she feels the dots, she laughs with delight. Alena laughs next to her. She can even hear Ms. Cam in the back chuckling as well along with them. She begins to read. The dots on her hand make a T.
"T…. H….. E." Amanda says, delighted. "The! It's the!" She hears Alena laugh. Alena would look so pretty laughing, she thinks.
"You're right! Good job Amanda!" She says. "Ms. Cam, did you hear that?" Amanda hears Ms. Cam laughing louder now. She hears footsteps come closer. A swoosh of air right next to her.
"Yes, Alena! I did hear that!" Amanda hears Ms. Cam's smiling voice, right next to her now. Ms. Cam hugs Amanda. She gets caught by surprise. After the moment of shock passes, Amanda hugs her back. She feels a large smile on her face.
"Okay, okay, next!" Alena says, sounding excited. Amanda feels the paper in front of her.
"S… Oh no wait, that's L… I… T, T… E?" Amanda says excitedly. "Lit… Little.. Little! The little!"
"Yes!" Ms. Cam cheers, her sadness gone and replaced with Amanda and Alena's joy. Destiny even senses something is going on, because she barks from her bed on the other side of the room. Amanda goes on to read "The little frog jumped on lily pads." Amanda's heart flutters with happiness.
"The little frog jumped on lily pads!" She sings, over and over.
When Amanda gets home that night, Destiny leading her, she tells her mom all about it, who hugs her and surprises her with new books.
"You're getting so good." Her mom says, hugging her next to her. Amanda takes in the smell of her soft jacket.
"Thanks, Mommy!" She says, hugging her back. Destiny jumps in on their moment, surprising Amanda, who lets out a laugh.
Amanda walks to her classroom, Destiny leading the way. Destiny pulls her to the left, and Amanda turns willingly. She feels the warm air of the classroom as she walks into it. Ms. Cam greets her.
"Good morning, Amanda!" She says, taking her hand. Amanda tries to give Ms. Cam the leash, but she gently pushes the leash away.
"Not today, Amanda. We're going to have Destiny lead you outside!" Amanda smiles. She loves going outside. The last time they did this was on her birthday. They played games all day, not learning a single thing. Amanda just wishes she could see the grass and the sun. She's been told the grass was green, but she doesn't know what that means. She doesn't know what green looks like. And suddenly, Destiny leads her outside, and she feels the sun on her face.
"Thanks Ms. Cam!" Amanda says. "Thanks, Destiny." She has a thought. "Destiny, run!" Destiny takes off, pulling Amanda with her. Amanda and Destiny run up a hill, stopping at the top. The sun really beats down on Amanda's face, and she loves it. She just wishes she could see it.
After a full day of games, Amanda can feel the sun starting to set as the weather gets colder.
"Amanda." Alena says, sitting next to her on the top of the hill. Ms. Cam had gone back into the building to work on lesson plans. "I had a lot of fun with you today." Her voice is so soft, Amanda thinks. She imagines the soft features of her face, and the slight limp. The name Alena makes colors swirl across Amanda's vision, though she can't see anything else. Just those colors. Alena. Amanda can feel tears falling down her cheeks.
"I had fun, too Alena." She says, her voice cracking.
"Amanda, what's wrong?" Alena says, as Amanda feels her arms wrap around her body in a hug.
"I just wish I could see you. Your voice is so pretty, and I imagine what your face would look like all the time. And the sun. It's so warm, and the people say the sunset is so pretty. They talk about it being purple and pink and yellow, but…" Amanda sniffles, "I don't know what that means."
"It's okay, Amanda. You see things in your own special way." Alena says. "You know, you can't judge someone because of how they look, and that's amazing. That means that you can only surround yourself with the best people. Those people can help you see, too."
"But they talk about pretty colors, like green and yellow and blue. I want to be able to see those."
"It just makes it more fun to imagine what they look like, doesn't it?" Alena says. Her soft voice brings swirls of colors, colors that Amanda had never seen before. Suddenly, a light shines in the corner of her eye. She turns her head to it. Bright colors, so bright. A circular looking object, so light it makes Amanda squint, is half covered by something… the ground. Amanda's heart races. Fluffy things above… those must be clouds. They range in shades of colors, surprising Amanda with it's beauty. Everything is a blur. The colors must be pink and purple and yellow, Amanda thinks. Then, all goes to black again. Amanda blinks, looking away from the heat from what must be the sun.
"Amanda, are you alright?" Alena asks her.
"I think I just saw the sunset." Amanda says.
"That's amazing!" Alena exclaims, excited. "You saw the clouds, and the sun, and the ground?"
"Everything." Amanda says.
Still, to this day, whenever Alena's charming voice rings through her head, Amanda sees the swirls of pink and purple and yellow.
You see things in your own special way, Alena says in Amanda's head. Even more swooshes of color. Pink, Amanda's figured out. And then yellow, like the sun. So bright, like the ball of bright that Amanda had seen only once, a long, long time ago.

6 Steps for Using Amazon PPC for Profitable Product Launches
- Lena R. Liberman
- On October 30, 2018
- Amazon advertising, brand registry, enhanced brand content, feedback genius, product reviews, sponsored products
UPDATE: September 24, 2019: From Amazon: "Enhanced Brand Content is now called A+ Content."
One question that sellers consistently ask us, be it in webinars or at tradeshows, is "How can I use Amazon PPC Advertising to boost product launches?" These sellers tell us that in launching products in the past, they've tried reaching out to an external audience of loyal brand followers, running sales and promotions, and pitching lots of money on Google, Facebook, and Amazon ads (albeit not very strategically). And the results have been less than optimal, not to mention costly.
We're here to take the guesswork out of using Amazon Advertising for product launches and to help boost your sales and establish your product faster so you can watch those dollars roll in and your product climb in ranking and results all while garnering more reviews.
Here are 6 steps to help you launch your product with a bang.
1. Focus on your product listing and follow Amazon's listing guidelines and suggestions. Honestly, this should be the first thing you do whether you're launching a new product, relaunching a new version of an existing one, or just trying to boost a product's traction. Doing this carefully, correctly, and thoroughly signifies to the Amazon algorithm that you are as solid seller with a solid product (and that you play by the rules).
If you really want to make a splash with a product launch, try Enhanced Brand Content. If you're brand registered, you have access to this feature that can turn your listing into so much more than just a product for sale. You can actually sell more AND build your brand on Amazon. If you aren't brand registered and you own your brand, register it with Amazon. Brand registry helps protect your products and it unlocks access to so many beneficial features.
Don't forget to download your free copy of Seller Labs' eBook all about how Enhanced Brand Content can help your business and your listings.
2. Go for reviews . . . the legitimate, Amazon-compliant way. The Amazon algorithm favors products with reviews. It looks for that social proof that your product is a good one. Even just a few reviews can sway the algorithm in your favor. But getting reviews can be difficult, no matter how good your product is. Don't get discouraged if you don't have reviews though! You can still use Amazon Advertising to launch and reach more people likely to leave reviews. Just be prepared to incur a higher ACoS in the process.
In terms of getting reviews, follow-up and compliance is everything. Add Feedback Genius to your sales process so you can communicate with your buyers, deliver amazing follow-through customer service, create repeat customers, and build your Amazon brand.
3. Get back to basics. When you're using Amazon Advertising to launch a product, it's always best to go back to basics. Think back to your product. You know its features and benefits. Look at your competition and how they describe their products in their listings. Use these as starting keywords for Manual Targeting Campaigns. If you really want to go deep and find powerful keywords, try Scope for all sorts of details on which words deliver the best results.
Don't forego Automatic Campaigns either! Auto-Targeting Campaigns are a great way to find new search terms for your listings. It's insight into how Amazon shoppers are searching for your product. As you learn about shopper behaviors, take it back to step one, and update your listings based on what shoppers want to see.
4. It's Amazon and you have to pay to play. Amazon is more likely to favor campaigns with bigger budgets. That's not to say that you'll reach these budgets, but you have to be willing to do spend money to make money. The same goes with bids as well. You can use smaller bids on your Automatic Campaigns, but manually targeting keywords can (and will) be more expensive. Being flexible with spending also helps you gain more data in a shorter amount of time. One way to maximize your budget is to use Ignite as your ad-management platform. Ignite offers Ad Scheduling, which allows you to run ads only when they convert, not when they cost you in clicks that go nowhere.
5. Be patient. Remember that kicking off advertising for a new product (or a new brand) takes time. You can't set up a campaign and expect to see results in a matter of a few days. Come back in and check on your campaigns every 2-3 days. Let campaigns run for at least 14 days before making any adjustments to them.
Let the data speak. And if you're not seeing results you'd like for your core keywords, go back to your listing. Work on optimizing it. Look at your search terms and see how customers are shopping for your products.
One of the best tips that our CMO Jeff Cohen has ever given is to "Build it for who is drawn to it." He means, don't tell your shoppers what you think they need to know. Build your listing around why your product is the best product for them. At Resonate this year, Dr. Ben Frederick gave a similar piece of advice. Don't build your listing for what the product does. Build it around the solution it provides for a problem or inquiry shoppers have.
6. Clean up and optimize—repeatedly. The goal of Amazon PPC Advertising is to provide more value over time. You want to eliminate wasted ad spend. If you have keywords that aren't converting, move them to a negative match. This will free up that money to be spent on winning keywords.
That's the cycle. Yes, it is a cycle. Shopper trends change all the time. A way that a shopper browses during the holidays is different than when they're browsing out of necessity or impulse. Never count an advertising campaign as fully optimized or assume that it's done everything that it can for you. There is ALWAYS room to tighten up and achieve greater profitability, from product launches to product maturity. And remember that Amazon changes each and every day, so don't cling to the status quo and expect it to work forever.

Chronic Lyme? Another Bug?: An Integrated Approach May Improve Treatment Effect
Apr 01, 2017 04:24AM
● By Andrea Candee
In many cases of chronic Lyme disease, medical researchers cannot understand why symptoms persist when intensive testing fails to reveal signs of the bacteria associated with the condition. In a New York Times article, a number of researchers reportedly account for these symptoms by assuming that Lyme disease has led to autoimmune dysfunction without considering that the tick may have passed more than just bacteria into its human host. Understanding tick behavior leads us to understand it's more likely that the Lyme spirochete brought more than Lyme.
A common scenario is for a tick to travel around, feeding upon a dog, picking up a strain of parvo virus; feeding upon a mouse, picking up a strain of hanta virus; feeding upon a deer, picking up the spirochete; and then finally feeding upon the human and passing a spirochete with some hitchhiking viruses. It is also possible for the tick to pass neuroviruses picked up from other wildlife and pass them into the central nervous system of the human host. Doctors acknowledge that Bartonella bacteria, also known as cat scratch fever, can sometimes be found piggybacking the spirochete. If the tick can pick up bacteria from a cat, it is also likely it would be able to take in viruses from dogs and mice.
If Lyme disease is not responding well to antibiotics alone or developed into a case of suffering with chronic Lyme disease—in spite of long-term antibiotic therapy—it may be time to consult with a health practitioner familiar with the viruses known to attach themselves to the ticks that transfer this disease. It is also advisable to take steps to strengthen the immune system so it can fend off the intruders.
Increasing Good Bacteria
Friendly bacteria and yeast micro-organisms live harmoniously in the intestinal tract. The antibiotic does not differentiate between beneficial and harmful bacteria and, in its quest to go after the "bad guys", may deplete the "good guys". When the level of good bacteria is depleted, yeast, regularly kept in check by the "good guys", has an opportunity to grow out of control. Yeast overgrowth can cause a variety of symptoms, including bloating, gas, itching, sugar cravings, brain fog, mouth sores, headaches, weight gain, mood swings, depression and extreme fatigue.
Acidophilus and other probiotic, active bacterial cultures in yogurt (plain yogurt without added sugar, as sugar feeds yeast) help to bring balance to the intestinal flora by repopulating the area with good bacteria. Probiotics are available in capsules, liquid and tablet forms. They are best taken three times a day, one hour before or after the dose of antibiotic. Continue taking them three times a day for at least three months following the antibiotic therapy. Making the last dose of the day right before bedtime helps the good bacteria have a chance to grow unimpeded overnight.
Immune Support
Echinacea is a popular, non-toxic herb easily found in health food stores. It helps to support an immune system that can become depleted by antibiotics. Although it is available in tea and capsule form, the liquid alcohol extract of echinacea is the most potent and effective form of the herb, safe for adults and children alike; the exception is for those with autoimmune disease. One teaspoon, diluted in a little water or juice, taken three times a day, can accompany the antibiotic therapy; check for dosing children. To further strengthen the immune system, continue echinacea for a few weeks after the antibiotic is finished. Cycling it for 10 days on and four days off will keep the body from becoming resistant to its benefits and give an additional immune-stimulating boost each time we go back on it. People often feel weakened coming off an extended therapy of antibiotics. Supporting the body's immune system will help us to feel stronger when the therapy is finished.
Reduce Sugar Intake
Bacteria and viruses feed on sugar so it is best to reduce sugar intake. Desserts should be limited to low-sugar fruits like berries. Many fresh and dried fruits, and fruit juice—like banana, raisins and apple juice—have a high sugar content. This would be a good time to eliminate junk foods and eat health-promoting foods like pesticide-free vegetables, antibiotic-free chicken, fish, grains, organic eggs and nuts, so as not to pose any additional challenges to the body. The inflammatory symptoms of Lyme disease would also benefit from an alkaline diet.
Prevent Tick Bites
A safe, natural way to prevent tick bites is with oil of eucalyptus. The strong but pleasant smell seems to effectively repel ticks.
In a spray bottle, add 16 ounces of water to 1 ounce of eucalyptus oil. Spray on skin before an outdoor activity, such as gardening. The bottled mixture remains potent for many months.
For longer protection, such as a hike in the woods, mix 10 drops of eucalyptus into a ½ ounce of almond oil and apply to skin and clothing. A larger amount can be pre-mixed for a camping trip or for sending off with a child to summer camp.
Protecting dogs and cats from ticks also protects us. Some people never touch a blade of grass, yet get Lyme disease and wonder why. A pet may be transporting the ticks into the house. Dip a thin rope into the eucalyptus oil and wrap in a bandana. Tie the bandana around a pet's neck, refreshing the rope twice a week. It's best not to tie the eucalyptus rope directly onto the pet's skin as it may irritate. The spray bottle of eucalyptus and water may also be used to spray the pet's coat before an outdoor romp in the grass or in the woods.
Choosing the pleasures of country life over city life means we must learn to cohabitate with nature harmoniously. The fewer chemicals we use internally and externally will mean safer groundwater and air, healthier bodies, and a reverence for life around us.

Current Roster
Virtus.Pro and Fnatic, a match that in previous year would be considered a five star match, worth of major finals now is an encounter to see which team has fallen the most as the Poles got smashed by Quantum Bellator Fire and Fnatic wasn't a match for FaZe Clan yesterday.
It's pretty clear as now that the Virtus.Pro magic is over. After getting smashed by QBF yesterday in a shameful match by the Poles, the team now must face Fnatic that while isn't even close to be the Fnatic that we once knew still seems to be in a better situation than VP.
This best of one match will be surely a pain to fans of both teams as the loser will be closer to elimination and if we can take yesterday results, we do believe that the Swedish squad will be having the upper hand and kick Virtus.Pro in the edge.
Concluding, we do recommend a bet in Fnatic for this best of one.

Few would dispute the contention that dolcetto is a modest wine. But the meaning of "modest" is open to interpretation.
It's a word that may be said with a sneer concerning a wine's potential. Or it may be said approvingly of its lack of pretension.
Yet it's my contention that most of the greatest wines of the world are modest wines. Conversely, some of the most disappointing wines of the world lack modesty and come off as pompous and vainglorious.
At Wine School, modesty is a prime virtue, in both wines and wine drinkers.
We appreciate wines of every caliber that are not made with a sense of inflated importance, and that allow terroirs to speak for themselves with a minimum of artifice. And we recognize our limits as wine drinkers: Expertise is neither innate nor a measure of worth. It's simply experience accumulated pleasurably, tempered with a recognition that complexities and wisdom differ from insistent opinions.
How does this pertain to dolcetto, which we have focused on for the last month? It's precisely because these wines are thought to be modest that we have paradoxically had the opportunity to enjoy their greatness.
As always at Wine School, I select a genre to examine and recommend three bottles to drink over the course of the next month, in a natural setting with food and friends or family. I invite you to share your thoughts about the wines in the comments below.
In an effort to keep costs from getting out of hand, I usually suggest wines that will be on the introductory end of the price scale. In the case of wines that can age for decades, I select easygoing examples that can be enjoyed immediately because it's difficult, if not impossible, to find a wide array of affordable, already aged bottles.
For example, we drank red Burgundies from the village of Marsannay, much lower in status and price than, say, Vosne-Romanée or Chambolle-Musigny, to say nothing of premier crus and grand crus. And we explored the relatively accessible Langhe nebbiolo rather than the more expensive, magnificent and forbidding Barolo and Barbaresco.
Yet for modest dolcetto, "a pretty simple wine, as it's meant to be," a reader, Mark of Boston, pointed out, the price range is far more limited. Rather than settle for humble entry-level bottles, we were able to drink wines that were among the greatest examples of dolcetto available, for $17 to $35.
Of course, we could be picky and point to a single-vineyard dolcetto, or to another producer or a different vintage, and insist that it would have been even better. But the dolcettos we drank — Luigi Einaudi Dolcetto di Dogliani 2014, Bartolo Mascarello Dolcetto d'Alba 2015 and Roagna Dolcetto d'Alba 2014 — are among the best expressions of this grape from these places.
As is often the case with wine, this raises existential questions. Is it better to drink the greatest examples of modest wines or the most modest examples of great wines? Or, to think of it another way: Is it more fulfilling to hear a good, little-known band from a front-row seat in a local club, or to strain to catch a glimpse of a world-renowned group from the upper reaches of a stadium?
Why settle for one or the other? Each has its moments. The wisdom of experience tells you when those moments have arrived.
In the case of wine, the accumulated wisdom of the people of the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy, home to the dolcetto, barbera and nebbiolo grapes, dictated that friendly, easygoing dolcetto would be the everyday wine, supplemented by barbera. Nebbiolo would be an occasional visitor, treasured for special occasions.
It's easy to see why in these three dolcettos. They are almost born delicious, easy to drink young, and they go with many different foods. I loved them with spaghetti and meatballs. Among readers, Ferguson found dolcetto delicious with mushroom pizza; Dan Barron found excellent pairings in both eggplant Parmesan and pasta with sausage and dandelion greens. But even less intuitive matches worked well, like VSB's carne asada and black-bean burritos, Joseph's ravioli with chanterelles and sage butter, and George Erdle's pork chop with carrots and peanuts.
Yet the wines raised a few questions for me. Can they improve with age? Can they really be summed up as simple?
The 2015 Bartolo Mascarello, a year younger than the other two bottles, showed its youth. Its aromas were insistent and sharply contoured, profoundly fruity yet deliciously pure.
On the palate, the sweetness of the fruit was tempered by a welcome bitterness, a push-pull that gave this wine energy and a sense of liveliness. It was gently earthy, and the tannins exerted a mild but noticeable grip. It was exceptional, but I thought it could have used another year or so to soften a bit.
The Roagna benefited from the extra year of aging, which seemed to have smoothed out any rough edges it might have had. It had bright, vibrant tart berry flavors, and, like the Mascarello, it was alive in the glass. Though the fruitiness was indeed pleasing, it, however, lacked an added earthy element. It could be called simple, yet delightfully so.
By contrast, the Einaudi seemed to exist in an entirely different dimension from the other two. It was deeper, longer, denser and more complex. While it shared the bright, vivacious fruity aromas and flavors, as well as the lovely tension between sweet and bitter, it offered a more pronounced and lasting earthiness than the Mascarello, a mineral quality that I've rarely seen in a dolcetto.
Significantly, the first two wines were from the Alba region, where dolcetto coexists with nebbiolo and barbera. It is beloved but not the area's top priority. In the Dogliani region, however, where the Einaudi is from, pride of place is given to dolcetto. Though a lot of dolcetto comes from Alba, and much of it from excellent producers, Dogliani is generally considered the best territory for dolcetto (along with a third appellation, Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba, which I don't often see in the United States).
Does our sampling indicate that Dogliani is the best region for dolcetto? Well, I would be cautious about extrapolating too much from a single comparison. For me, though, more than a few bottles of Dogliani over the years have confirmed this conclusion.
Returning to our original questions: Were these modest wines? Great wines? Or great modest wines? Where do they fit in the pecking order? Or, may we ask: Should there even be a hierarchy for wine?
If Wine School has demonstrated anything over its three years, it's that the occasion dictates the wine.
Perhaps this is the wisdom of grandparents, who lived in areas where wine was consumed daily but the selection was meager and decreed by custom. Now, though, we have the luxury of choosing from among hundreds of different wines. The occasion determines not the precise bottle we choose but the level of wine, which can range from easy, pleasurable and inexpensive to profound, contemplative and financially challenging, with many steps in between.
Modest wines may be suitable for far more occasions than profound wines. They are the bottles of daily drinking, so they accumulate great importance for wine lovers over time. Yet profound bottles allow us to make sense of wine by stretching our understanding of beauty and meaning.
Like yin and yang, you cannot have one without the other.

Diabetes has always been very present in my life. My father passed away from type 1 diabetes at 52, my uncle also has type 1 diabetes, and my grandfather had type 2," says Courtney. A drive to improve her health and fitness motivated Courtney to participate in the fun run. "I have never been very active and was starting to feel the effects of not exercising or treating my body right as I entered my late 20s." "I wanted to increase my fitness level and, after I started to raise funds, I knew I couldn't back out!" Courtney used a combination of technology and support from workmates to help her train for the 10km run. "I used the Couch to 5k app and trained with work colleagues, who are also friends. We would bring our running gear to work and run in a small group during our lunch break and sometimes after work." Courtney also convinced her co-workers to join the fun run and raise money for Diabetes Queensland, with the team raising close to $2,000. "I ran with my work colleagues. It was motivating to train and run together. It definitely made a difference. On days where I couldn't be bothered to run, or I thought I was too busy, if someone else was up for running, I knew I couldn't say no." The Bridge to Brisbane is a 5km and 10km fun run on Sunday, 27th August 2017. This iconic event lets participants take in the city's scenery while challenging you to cross three bridges, including the Story Bridge. The event sold out last year, and promises to be just as popular in 2017. "On the day, it was nice to see so many people of different fitness levels. It wasn't intimidating at all. The sheer mass of people participating was motivation on its own! I felt like I was a part of something big," says Courtney. The Bridge to Brisbane is just one of many fun runs that are on this year throughout Queensland. Other events include the City 2 South, Gold Coast Marathon, Ironman Cairns and many more. These events are a great way to challenge yourself physically, and raise much-needed funds for Queenslanders living with diabetes. The more Team Diabetes runners, swimmers and riders that we have participating in events in 2017, the more awareness we can raise. In turn, we can increase our vital services and support programs for Queenslanders living with all types of diabetes. We encourage our supporters to join 'Team Diabetes' by creating an online fundraising page when they register for an event. You can join individually, or perhaps you would like to enter a team and participate with co-workers or as a family. We will support your fundraising and training efforts every step of the way, by offering support, tips, incentives and the motivation you need to achieve your goals. Any event, big or small, can make a real difference to our organisation. And you will feel fantastic after you cross that finish line. "It was a real achievement. I didn't run the entire time, but I had definitely increased my fitness in the months prior to the run. I wouldn't have been able to run as much as I did before I started training," says Courtney.

Ethics Of Abortion Essay, Research Paper
Ethics of Abortion
The fundamental question that most philosophers agree on when discussing abortion is, ?How do you determine the humanity of a being (Noonan, p. 117)?? Or, in other words, when does a being acquire a right to life? The answer to these questions will determine when it is, if ever, morally acceptable to abort a fetus. There are many different answers varying from one extreme to another. Conservatives believe that infants acquire their rights to life at the moment of conception while the liberals feel that fetuses actually do not have any rights to life until, at, or sometime after birth.
John T. Noonan Jr.
Noonan was a conservative. He feels very strongly that if human parents conceived you then you are a human being with human rights. It would therefore always be immoral to abort a fetus unless under the very severe circumstances whereby the mother and the unborn child?s lives were in danger (Noonan, p 117). To support his beliefs, Noonan came up with two arguments: his supporting argument and his positive argument.
The supporting argument goes as follows: (1) At conception there is a sharp increase in the probability of development, therefore, (2) it is reasonable to think that a fetus is a human from conception onward. The reasoning behind this argument is simple: In a normal ejaculation approximately 200 million sperm are released. The odds that any one sperm has of becoming human are therefore approximately 1 in 200 million. When sperm does meet egg however the probability of development increases dramatically. It goes from 1 in 200 million to 4 out of 5. Noonan felt that because the probability of development increased so much at the time of conception the fetus should be considered a human with full moral rights.
His supporting argument, however, is weak. The premise does not support the conclusion in any way. Just because the probability of a fetus becoming a human being increases so drastically, does not prove that a fetus is a human. The ideas put forth by Noonan seem to be, at first glance, a plausible solution to the question of abortion but in fact proves no such thing.
The second argument put forward by Noonan was his positive argument. This argument says that: (1) at conception the fetus receives human genetic code, (2) a being with human genetic code is human, therefore, (3) a fetus is a human from conception onward. Or put more simply, ?a being with human genetic code is man.? (Noonan, p.120)
Even though this argument seems compelling, it is unsound. The problem is in the second premise where it says that a being with human genetic code is human. Let us take a blueprint of a building as an example. A blueprint is nothing more than a plan of a building. It is either drawn out on paper or on a computer. The blueprint does not have any of the building?s characteristics. It would be insane to call a blueprint a building; you could only call it a possible building. Just like a blueprint is not a building, genetic human code does not seem to be enough to consider a fetus a human.
Mary Ann Warren
Mary Anne Warren has a more liberal view on abortion. She does not think that fetuses should have moral rights at conception because they certain traits that are sufficient and necessary for one to be a person. Warren attacks the key premise to the conservatives? argument in her attempt to prove that fetuses are not beings with any moral rights.
The conservative argument states: (1) it is wrong to kill beings with rights, (2) fetuses are genetically human, (3) being genetically human gives you rights, therefore, (4) it is wrong to kill fetuses because they are genetically human.
Mary Anne Warren believes that the term ?human being? is an ambiguous term. She feels as if there are two different meanings for the term ?human being? and they both point us in very different directions. The first meaning is what we usually think about when we hear the term human and that is the genetic sense of the word. That means that humans are human beings only if they posses human genetic code. The second meaning is a little harder to grasp but in fact is a very persuasive idea. It says that a being is human if it has moral worth.
Moral worth is only acquired after certain conditions are met. What is personhood? This is one of the questions that Mary Anne Warren answers in order to figure out the moral worth of fetuses. Mary Anne Warren says that there are five different characteristics a being should have in order to be a person. The five characteristics of personhood in relation to moral worth are as follows: consciousness (ability to feel pleasure or pain), reasoning (the ability to problem-solve), self-motivated activity, the capacity to communicate and lastly the presence of self-concepts and self-awareness. Even though there are five traits, only the first two are really important in determining personhood. Take the following thought experiment proposed by Mary Anne Warren:
Imagine, one day you find yourself on another planet infested with millions of tiny green aliens. The aliens show signs of consciousness and reason (the two most important factors that Mary Anne Warren says we find necessary and sufficient in order to be a person). Are these beings therefore humans with full moral worth or is it permissible to kill them for food? Because in this case the aliens do in fact show signs of consciousness and ability to reason, Mary Anne Warren believes that they are people and should be given full moral worth, therefore killing them for food would be wrong unless absolutely necessary.
The problem with Mary Anne Warren?s view is that there are many beings, which would not be considered to be worth anything morally. Infants, severely disabled people and non-human animals (as well as others) do not show much, if any signs of being able to reason. We still however believe that it is wrong to kill these beings because we still attach moral rights to their lives.
There is another problem with Mary Anne Warren?s argument. The problem is that she fails to prove her view of personhood. In the thought experiment above, the aliens did, in fact, show signs of reasoning and consciousness. What if they did not have any ability to reason but had the potential to reason? Should these beings be considered to be worth nothing morally? It seems as if there should be some other factors that determine one?s personhood and not just traits like reasoning and consciousness.
Mary Anne Warren?s reply to the problems of her view on personhood is very simple. There are people that are willing to take care of the people that do not fit into moral society, based on the concepts of ability to reason and basic consciousness. Those who are unable to reason should not be killed or taken advantage of because of their lack of reasoning because there is always someone that will love them and take care of them. There is always a home for newborn infants and severely mentally disabled people that are lacking these important traits. ?Most people… value infants and would much prefer that they be preserved, even if foster parents are not immediately available.? (Warren, p. 141)
There is a problem with Mary Anne Warren?s reply to the criticisms raised by many people concerning her view on personhood. What if an infant or a disabled person was not loved by anyone or even were not being taken care of. If you really believe her reply then you believe it is morally permissible to dispose of these beings however you may wish. This, though, seems very harsh and extreme. Most will agree that it is ethically wrong to abuse and hurt these beings.
The way one perceives a fetus has a great impact on whether you believe that abortion is morally permissible. Both of these arguments have strong points that do help their beliefs, unfortunately they are both very flawed almost to the point where you might want to disregard these arguments and try again. The question both these arguments tried to answer was the same: When is a fetus worth the right to life?
