JUDY godfruits/669/there-was-no-hope-for-this-premature-baby-youll-cry-with-tears-of-happiness-as-you-witness-this-miracle.php All Available Power A little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox. He had with him his box of cars and trucks, his plastic pail, and a shiny, red plastic shovel. In the process of creating roads and tunnels in the soft sand, he discovered a large rock in the middle of the sandbox. The boy dug around the rock, managing to dislodge it from the dirt. With no little bit of struggle, he pushed and nudged the rock across the sandbox by using his feet. (He was a very small boy and the rock was to him very huge.) When he got the rock to the edge of the sandbox, however, he found that he couldnt roll it up and over the little wall. Determined, the little boy shoved, pushed, and pried, but every time he thought he had made some progress, the rock tipped and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy grunted, struggled, pushed, shoved -- but his only reward was to have the rock roll back, smashing his chubby fingers. Finally he burst into tears of frustration. All this time the boys father watched from his living room window as the drama unfolded. At the moment the tears fell, a large shadow fell across the boy and the sandbox. It was the boys father. Son, why didnt you use all the strength that you had available? But I did, Daddy, I did! the boy sniffed. No, son, corrected the father kindly. You didnt use all the strength you had. You didnt ask me. With that the father reached down, picked up the rock, and removed it from the sandbox. -- Author Unknown There is gold, and an abundance of rubies, but words of knowledge are like a precious jewel. Proverbs 20:15 NET ==== Bill Millions of American still out of work and we are spending $700Mil. for RUSSIAN helicopters for the Afghan military. What the hell? Russian Helicopters for sale... Does anyone remember Barack Obamas great promise of the campaign of 2012? He did not make a promise to America nor to Americans. He did not make a promise to fellow politicians. Unlike so many of his promises, he is keeping this one. His promise was to Vladimir Putin of Russia. What is Obama doing to keep his promise to Putin? Everyone remembers the hot mike incident in 2012 when Barack Obama pleaded with Russian President Dmitri Medvedyev to give him time until the election. After the election, he promised Vladimir Putin, through Medvedyev, he would be more flexible. Now we have seen this flexibility. Barack Obama is going to spend almost $700 million dollars of taxpayer money to buy Russian helicopters for the Afghan Air Force. But wait. Just like those TV commercials, this gets better. When Congress passed the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, it had an interesting provision. Congress included, as a part of that law a prohibition on the United States buying helicopters from Rosoboron export, the Russian manufacturer of the Mi-17 helicopter. Unfortunately as always happens, when such laws are passed, Congress always gives the Regime an escape hatch. The law stated that Obama could buy from Rosoboron export if the Secretary of Defense certified it was in the interest of National Security. And of course, the Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, a man committed to destroying the US military immediately signed off on that certification. Where do we even start with this one? Congress is outraged over this with Senators and Representatives from both parties writing letters about this. Of course, this is Congress fault for allowing a law to be written with such an escape hatch. More importantly, Americans need to be asking just what the hell the Obama Regime is doing. Why are we spending $700 million dollars with a Russian arms manufacturer? Why are we even giving the Afghans these helicopters? If we are going to give them helicopters, which we really shouldnt, then why not give them American made helicopters and put Americans to work? If we are going to give the Afghans Russian helicopters, the ones we are giving them are an old Cold War design. There are hundreds of used MI-17 helicopters floating around the world. Why are we paying to give the Afghans brand new helicopters? In the era of the Sequester, isnt there something better we can do with $700 million? American Medicare cancer patients are being turned away from hospitals and are being denied lifesaving treatment because of budget cuts. The American military is being gutted to the point of ineffectiveness because of budget cuts. Or consider this. The United States Air Force is grounding 17 squadrons because of $591 million dollars in budget cuts. Our Air Force is not able to do its mission because it lacks the money to fly but we have the money to give Afghanistan $700 million dollars in Russian helicopters. And this is where Barack Obama thinks we should spend our money? Most people reading this story will not have heard about it. Why? Because the Obama Propaganda Media is moving in lock step to make sure there is no bad news that might damage Obamas presidency. This is a story that should damage him and outrage every American. The only way we will ever stop Obama is if the American people know what he is doing. DONT KEEP THIS - SEND IT OUT TO YOUR LIST ==== Bill Barker WHO WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE USA? The reason for sending this is that the story has to be passed down to our youngsters because this is not taught in school… Who was the first President of the US? I suspect George Washington was your first guess.After all, who else comes to mind?But think back to your history books - The United States Declared its independence in 1776 , yet George Washington did not take Office until April 30, 1789 .So who was running the country during these initial years of our young country? It was the first eight U. S. Presidents. In fact, the first President of the United States was one John Hanson. I can hear you now - John who? John Hanson, was the first President of the United States.John Hanson, first President of the United States.Check Google for more detailed information. There was also a U.S. stamp made in his honor.The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation. This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777.Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands.(Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of land).Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress.As the first President, Hanson had quite the shoes to fill. No one had ever been President and the role was poorly defined. His actions in office would set precedent for all future Presidents. He took office just as the Revolutionary War ended. Almost immediately, the troops demanded to be paid. As would be expected after any long war, there were no funds to meet the salaries. As a result, the soldiers threatened to overthrow the new government and put Washington on the throne as a monarch.All the members of Congress ran for their lives, leaving Hanson as the only guy left running the government. He somehow managed to calm the troops down and hold the country together. If he had failed, the government would have fallen almost immediately and everyone would have been bowing to King Washington.Hanson, as President, ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as the removal of all foreign flags. This was quite the feat, considering the fact that so many European countries had a stake in the United States since the days following Columbus.Hanson established the Great Seal of the United States, which all Presidents have since been required to use on all official documents. President Hanson also established the first Treasury Department, the first Secretary of War, and the first Foreign Affairs Department.Lastly, he declared that the fourth Thursday of every November was to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today.The Articles of Confederation only allowed a President to serve a one year term during any three year period, so Hanson actually accomplished quite a bit in such little time. Seven other presidents were elected after him:1. John Hanson2. Elias Boudinot (1782-83),3. Thomas Mifflin (1783-84),4. Richard Henry Lee (1784-85), 5. John Hancock (1785-86), 6. Nathan Gorman (1786-87), 7. Arthur St. Clair (1787-88), and 8. Cyrus Griffin (1788-89), ....all prior to George Washington taking office.So what happened? Why dont we hear about the first eight presidents?Its quite simple - The Articles of Confederation didnt work well. The individual states had too much power and nothing could be agreed upon. A new doctrine needed to be written - something we know as the Constitution. And that leads us to the end of our story.George Washington definitely was not the first President of the United States. He was the first President of the United States under the Constitution we follow today. And the first eight Presidents have been forgotten in history. YOU HAVE TO BE A LOVER OF HISTORY TO APPRECIATE THIS!! There you are - another lesson in U.S. History, and you may have learned something new today. ===== Elaine Couldnt get the pictures to show so I deleted them. JUDY Definitive Answers To 20 Of Your Biggest Health Questions Does olive oil prevent heart disease? Short answer: Yes. The health benefits of olive oil come from the presence of polyphenols, antioxidants that reduce the risk of heart diseases and cancers. But to get these healthy compounds, consumers should buy good-quality, fresh extra-virgin olive oil, which has the highest polyphenol content. Most commercially available olive oils have low levels of polyphenols associated with poor harvesting methods, improper storage, and heavy processing. Do cough syrups work? Short answer: No. In 2006, the nations chest physicians agreed that the majority of over-the-counter cough medicines dont actually work. These colorful syrups typically contain doses of codeine and dextromethorphan that are too small to be effective. Only cough suppressants that contain older antihistamines seem to relieve coughs. That includes brompheniramine, an active ingredient in Dimetapp. Does sugar cause hyperactivity? Short answer: No. Following a review of 23 studies, a 1996 report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that sugar does not affect the behavior or cognitive performance of children. The age-old myth that kids misbehave when they eat large amounts of candy, cookies, and other junk food, could be related to the type of events where these foods are typically served. For example, kids are more wound-up at birthday parties and during Halloween when sweet treats tend to flow freely. Do sugary soft drinks lead to diabetes? Short answer: Yes. The majority of health research is stacked against sugar-sweetened soda. A large 2004 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that women who drank one or more sugary drinks per day increased their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 83% compared to those who consumed less than one of these beverages per month. Do I need sunscreen with more than 30 SPF? Short answer: No. Sunscreens with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 30 block about 97% of ultraviolet rays, while sunscreens with an SPF of higher than 30 block 97%-98%. Its more important that you choose broad-spectrum sunscreen, meaning it protects against both UVB and UVA rays. Sunbathers also need to apply a generous amount of sunscreen in order to get the full benefit of the SPF. Is the MSG in Chinese likely to give you a headache? Short answer: No. A review of 40 years of clinical trials, published in the journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners in 2006, found that all previous research failed to identify a consistent relationship between the consumption of MSG and the constellation of symptoms that comprise the syndrome, including headaches and asthma attacks. The misconception spawned from several poorly-done small studies in the 1960s that seemed to connect MSG with a variety of maladies that people experienced after eating at Chinese restaurants. Learn more about the MSG myth here » Do nuts make you fat? Short answer: No. As much as 75% of a nut is fat. But eating fat doesnt necessarily make you fat. The bigger factor leading to weight gain is portion-size. Luckily, nuts are loaded with healthy fats that keep you full. Theyre also a good source of protein and fiber. One study even found that whole almonds have 20% less calories than previously thought because a lot of the fat is excreted from the body. Is walking as effective as running? Short answer: Yes. Studies have shown that how long you exercise — and thus how many calories you burn — is more important than how hard you exercise. Running is a more efficient form of exercise, but not necessarily better for you. A six-year study published in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology in April found that walking at a moderate pace and running produced similar health benefits, so long as the same amount of energy was expended. Is drinking fruit juice as good for you as eating fruit? Short answer: No. Calorie for calorie, whole fruit provides more nutritional benefits than drinking the pure juice of that fruit. Thats because when you liquefy fruit, stripping away the peel and dumping the pulp, many ingredients like fiber, calcium, vitamin C, and other antioxidants are lost. For comparison, a five-ounce glass of orange juice that contains 69 calories has .3 grams of dietary fiber and 16 milligrams of calcium, whereas an orange with the same number of calories packs 3.1 grams of fiber and 60 milligrams of calcium. Are all wheat breads better for you than white bread? Short answer: No. Not all wheat breads are created equal. Wheat breads that contain all parts of the grain kernel, including the nutrient-rich germ and fiber-dense bran, must be labeled whole grain or whole wheat. Some wheat breads are just white bread with a little bit of caramel coloring to make the bread appear healthier, according to Readers Digest. Can a hot tub make me sick? Short answer: Yes. Hot tubs — especially ones in spas, hotels, and gyms — are perfect breeding grounds for germs. The water is not hot enough to kill bacteria, but is just the right temperature to make microbes grow even faster. Even though hot tubs are treated with chlorine, the heat causes the disinfectant to break down faster than it would in regular pools. The most common hot tub infection is pseudomonas folliculitis, which causes red, itchy bumps. A more dangerous side-effect of soaking in a dirty Jacuzzi is a form of pneumonia known as Legionnaires disease. This is what reportedly sickened more than 100 people at the Playboy Mansion back in 2011. Does coffee cause cancer? Short answer: No. Coffee got a bad rap in the 1980s when a study linked drinking coffee to pancreatic cancer. The preliminary report was later debunked. More recently, health studies have swung in favor of the caffeinated beverage. Coffee has been linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinsons disease, liver cancer, and even suicide. Do eggs raise cholesterol levels? Short answer: No. Although egg yolks are a major source of cholesterol — a waxy substance that resembles fat — researchers have learned that saturated fat has more of an impact on cholesterol in your blood than eating foods that contain cholesterol. Healthy individuals with normal blood cholesterol levels should now feel free to enjoy foods like eggs in their diet every day, the lead researcher from a 25-year University of Arizona study on cholesterol concluded. Can you drink too much water? Short answer: Yes. It is very rare for someone to die from drinking too much water, but it can happen. Overhydrating is most common among elite athletes. Drinking an excess of water, called water intoxication, dilutes the concentration of sodium in the blood leading to a condition known as hyponatremia. The symptoms of hyponatremia can range from nausea and confusion to seizures and even death in severe cases. To avoid this, drink fluids with electrolytes during extreme exercise events. Can yogurt ease digestive problems? Short answer: Yes. Our digestive tract is filled with microorganisms — some good and some bad. Yogurt contains beneficial bacteria, generically called probiotics, that helps maintain a healthy balance. Probiotics can relieve several gastrointestinal problems, including constipation and diarrhea. Certain brands of yogurts, like Activa by Dannon, are marketed exclusively to treat tummy issues. Do whitening toothpastes whiten teeth more than regular toothpastes? Short answer: No. Whitening toothpastes usually contain peroxides and other strong abrasives that might make your teeth appear whiter by removing stains. Unlike at-home whitening strips and gels that contain bleach, these toothpastes do not actually change the color of your teeth. Is it safe to microwave food in plastic containers? Short answer: Yes. But the plastic container should display the words microwave safe. This means that the Food and Drug Administration has tested the container to make sure no chemicals used to make the plastic leech into foods during microwaving. If chemicals do seep out into food, the amounts are tiny and not dangerous to our health. As a general guideline, plastic grocery bags as well as most plastic tubs that hold margarine, yogurt, cream cheese, and condiments are not microwave safe. Can watching TV ruin your eyesight? Short answer: No. Watching TV will not destroy your rods and cones as the outdated myth suggests. Before the 1950s, TVs emitted radiation that could increase an individuals risk of eye problems after excessive TV viewing. Modern TVs have special shielding that blocks these harmful emissions. Is red wine better for you than white wine? Short answer: Yes. Red wine contains much more resveratrol than white wine, an antioxidant found in the skin of grapes that has been shown to fight off diseases associated with aging. Is bottled water better for you than tap water? Short answer: No. Bottled water is no safer or purer than tap water, although it is substantially more expensive. A recent study by Glasgow University in the U.K. found that bottled water is actually more likely to be contaminated than water from your faucet because it is less well-regulated. Bottled water and tap water typically come from the same sources — natural springs, lakes, and aquifers. While public water supplies are tested for contaminants every day, makers of bottled water are only required to test for specific contaminants every week, month, or year. ==== godvine/read/Lion-Befriended-by-Dog--490.html?utm_source=GodVine%20Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=03/20/2014 godvine/Elementary-School-Chorus-Will-Amaze-You-With-their-Adorable-Song-and-Dance-4938.html?utm_source=GodVine%20Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=03/20/2014 godvine/Little-Girl-Surprises-Deaf-Parents-During-Christmas-Concert-by-Signing-It-for-Them-4395.html godvine/See-How-This-Husband-Surprised-His-Wife-Aww--4941.html?utm_source=GodVine%20Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=03/20/2014 godvine/Christian-Group-Will-Move-You-with-this-Beautiful-Song-4940.html?utm_source=GodVine%20Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=03/20/2014 godvine/Pro-Football-Coach-Has-Most-Unusual-Workout-Partner-LOL-4942.html?utm_source=GodVine%20Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=03/20/2014 godvine/Dog-Amazingly-Walks-on-Two-Legs-2575.html ==== I hope these work better for you than for me.
