E d i t o r ’ s V o i c e“…Slow and Steady walked and walked. He never, ever stopped until he came to the finish line. The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise,

they woke up Hare. Hare stretched and yawned and

began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was over the line. After that, Hare always

reminded himself, "Don't brag about your lightning pace, for

Slow and Steady won the race!””

-The Tortoise and the Hare

diligent is richly supplied. )(

commands.And You do as you are told, with

your feet and your hands.

WHAT AM I?

Everything but the kitchen sink.Most of us toss fruit

peels in the trash, because, I mean, come on, what else are you going to do with them? Eat them, of course! It turns out they’re not just edible, but the skin and rind of some fruits is actually loaded with fantastic beauty and health benefits and there are many great ways to incorporate these nutrient-rich peels into your diet. So many people now are juicing

their fruits and veggies. Throw a bit of a lemon or lime peel in your kale-filled blender, or perhaps some of your banana peel with that spinach and strawberry smoothie. What people don’t realize is, the peel of the fruit has way more fiber packed into it than the fruit itself, and in some cases, more flavor. You’re getting more with one fruit! Peels have very low sugars and fats, they’re low in calories and are filled with vitamins and antioxidants helpful to your skin and body.

Try this delicious Melon Smoothie, or add your own unique twist! Don’t forget the peel!

You will need:BlenderKnife

Refreshing Green Melon SmoothieRecipe:

1 cup arugula½ a cantaloupe, rind and seeds removed

½ a honeydew melon, rind and seeds removed¼ a watermelon, rind and seed removed

1 tangerine,+ half the peel½ inch piece of ginger

1 cup unsweetened orange juice1 tablespoon flax seed

“Fermented foods help stabilize our intestinal flora. When the intestine is in good shape, it strengthens our immune system,” says Bellatti. Black garlic has been increasingly sought-after in high-end cuisine, and it is often used to make sauces, dressings, and dips.Available at health-food stores and online; try thespicehouse.com.

BLACK garli

cBlack garlic has long been prized by Asians for its health benefits, but it became widely available in Western markets only a few years ago. The black bulb is created by fermenting raw garlic through prolonged exposure to heat and humidity, giving it a sweet, mellow flavor and an inky hue. In addition to the sulfuric compounds that provide garlic with its heart-healthy and anticancer

benefits, the fermented cloves are a source of important probiotics.

Cell phone locks. Either you love them or you hate them, and I’m not sure I can name one person that actually loves cell phone passwords. Despite the obvious benefits of using them, to some, it seems more a curse than a blessing, whereas others think it’s well worth it. Trying to protect the information on your phone is one thing, getting locked out of it is another, which is why most of us don’t even bother setting them. Today, we use our phones for everything! Bank Account info, pictures, passwords, multiple accounts, businesses, addresses, videos-you name it. If your phone was stolen or lost, the thief or the individual who recovers it has access to all your beloved information and passwords and could track you down, use your accounts and do a number of danger. Now, this article was not written in any attempt to frighten you, justify or persuade you the following.

Controversial but popular, biometrics has attempted to solve this “problem”. According to forbes.com, between 0000 and 9999, there are 10,000 possible different combinations for a cell phone password, but in a poll of 3.4 million passwords 10% of the passwords were ‘1234’, in other words, too easy to guess.Supposedly, there is a solution to the love/hate relationships between you and your smart phone/devices. For years, people have been looking for better ways to protect their information and biometrics perhaps, has given them just that. With a quick scan of your eyeball, a simple voice recognition test or a simple fingerprint scan, you can lock your device and not worry about someone gaining access. You can program your phone to load a different app for every finger on your hand! As biometrics become more and more prevalent, one question will remain among the consumers.

Is this necessary? Isn’t this yet another invasion of our privacy? Where are our scans going? Benefits aside, there is still an underlying concern of discretion and safety. Also according to forbes.com, by 2017, most all phones will have their own biometrical phone lock, already installed on the phone, unlike now, where you have to download an app. Ahead in the biometric game, as far as tech devices go, tons of laptops have fingerprint scans by the keyboard already.

While some find no fault with biometrics, Others believe that a simple eyeball scan or fingerprint scan can open a window into our private lives. How do you feel about biometrics in cell phones? Where do you think our scans will go? Do you think they’re intrusive or just another perfectly harmless technological advance? Tell us what you think!

Genetically Modified Cuisine

Genetically modified foods were first introduced on the US market in the early nineties. The result is that, today more than 50% of the world’s genetically modified crops are planted in the US. According to a survey conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC), only 40% of people in the US are aware that some of the foods they are buying and eating are composed of genetically modified ingredients. There are several potential dangers that could result from the insertion of a foreign (genetically modified) gene into an organism. These include: Allergy: Allergic reactions occur when a normally harmless protein enters the body and stimulates an immune response. Many children in the US have developed life-threatening allergies to a number of food ingredients such as peanuts. One explanation is that introducing a gene into a plant may cause an allergic reaction in vulnerable people. It is also possible that a new allergen is created by the addition of a foreign gene.

More Truths About

Decreased Nutritional Value: A genetically modified plant usually has a lower nutritional value than its unaltered form. It has been reported that an inserted gene could stimulate the plant to produce higher levels of phytate, a compound that binds with minerals and makes them unavailable to humans. Another study conducted by Bakshi in 2003 that a strain of genetically modified soybean created very low amounts of phytoestrogen compounds. These compounds, found in traditional soybeans, are known to provide protection against cancer and heart ailments.

You may be surprised to learn that most popular food brands use genetically modified organisms. Some manufacturers that claim to offer natural foods actually use genetically modified ingredients. The best way to avoid buying or consuming GMOs is to beware of the companies that use them. Some of the manufacturers that use genetically modified organisms in their food production are:Nestle, Coco Cola, Kellogg’s, Craft, Quaker, General Mills, Mars, Unilever, PepsiCo, Heinz, Peter Pan, and Hansen.

While for some, these GMOS UFOs begin to become more difficult to spot, before you toss products into your grocery basket, take a look at the nutrition label. It won’t tell you everything, but if your product is GMO Free, you will definitely see it somewhere on the packaging of the product. Good Riddance!

Do or DIY

Monogrammed Sharpie Mug

This is something you can make for less than $1 (assuming that you have a couple of oil based markers lying around). There

are so many ways to do this, however, this is project has one of the neatest, best

looking outcomes from what I’ve seen thus far.

Get a white mug, and letter stickers (you can find them anywhere from Dollar Tree to

Hobby Lobby), and get ready to let your creative juices flow.

Place the letters or numbers wherever you choose on the mug and dot, color over or trace around the letters. Once you’ve finished and the Sharpie is dry, peel the stickers off to reveal your perfectly neat monogrammed design! Put the finished mugs in an oven for 30 minutes on 350°. Let it cool, take them out and you should be good to go. Try this out and tell us what you think! Send your pictures to Tigacropro@gmail.com to show us how it turned out!
