If you can keep your head when all about you

If you can (S7) force your heart and nerve and sinew

And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools

If you (S10) can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything in it,
And, what is more, youll be a Man, my son!

No.

TYPE OF TEXT

There are three nutrients the physical body needs on a daily basis to live, besides air,
sunlight, and water. These nutrients can only be obtained from the food that Elohim created.
These nutrients enable the body to grow, produce (T1R1) energy for numerous activities,
make various chemicals the body needs, and repair itself. These nutrients are (T1R2)
carbohydrates, (T1R3) proteins and (T1R4) fats. Later in this article each of these nutrients
will be briefly discussed separately. Although man has the technology to reproduce these
nutrients, they do not compare to the Creators natural food. Man can only produce the
active ingredients of a nutrient and not all the ingredients that are in the natural food.
For example, man can extract pure (TIR5) vitamin C from an orange, but vitamin C does not
exist alone and by itself in nature because the body cannot absorb it totally minus the other
nutrients contained in the orange. In fact, if one takes a capsule containing 1000 milligrams
1
of vitamin C, the body only will absorb from 3% - 30% depending on how close it is
manufactured to the natural form. When Elohim created vitamin C, there were other
nutrients created with it. Man fails to understand how all these nutrients along with vitamin
C, causes the body to absorb 100% vitamin C. Consuming a whole food rather than a
portion of it implies that the entire plant is always greater than the sum of its parts, which is
called synergy. If one eats separately each nutrient of an apple, the benefits would not be as
great as if one would eat the whole apple. There are hundreds of known chemical
ingredients in apples, but there are thousands of unknown chemical ingredients.
It is presently beyond mans technology to understand the interactions of all these
ingredients within the body. Only Elohim knows which is why one has to rely on the natural
food that Elohim created and not manmade food.

: Communications

http://psychology.about.com/od/nonverbalcommunication/tp/nonverbaltips.htm
TYPE OF TEXT

People can communicate information in numerous ways; so pay attention to things like
(T2R1) eye contact, (T2R2)gestures, posture, (T2R3) body movements, and tone of voice.
All of these signals can convey important information that isn't put into words. By paying
closer (T2R5) attention to other people's nonverbal behaviours, you will improve your own
ability to communicate nonverbally. If someone's words do not match their nonverbal
behaviours, you should pay careful attention. For example, someone might tell you they are
happy while frowning and staring at the ground. Research has shown that when words fail to
match up with nonverbal signals, people tend to ignore what has been said and focus
instead on nonverbal expressions of moods, thoughts, and emotions. Your (T2R4) tone of
voice can convey a wealth of information, ranging from enthusiasm to disinterest to anger.
2
Start noticing how your tone of voice affects how others respond to you and try using tone of
voice to emphasize ideas that you want to communicate. For example, if you want to show
genuine interest in something, express your enthusiasm by using an animated tone of voice.
When you are communicating with others; always consider the situation and the context in
which the communication occurs. Some situations require more formal behaviours that
might be interpreted very differently in any other setting. Consider whether or not nonverbal
behaviours are appropriate for the context. If you are trying to improve your own nonverbal
communication, concentrate on ways to make your signals match the level of formality
necessitated by the situation.

(Natural News) Exercising is a more effective way to lose weight than cutting calories alone,
according to a new study recently published in the online edition of the Journal of Applied
Physiology. Researchers from St. Louis University's Doisy College of Health Sciences
recruited 34 people between the ages of 50 and 60, who were either overweight or toward
the high end of normal weight. The participants were split into two groups -- the first group of
18 was put on a diet, while the second group of 16 exercised. The (T3RI) dieting group
reduced their total calorie intake by 16 percent per day for the first three months of the
study. For the final nine months, the dieters reduced their (T3R2) calorie intake by 20
percent. The second group exercised to burn 16 percent of their caloric intake per day for
the first three months, then increased their workouts to burn 20 percent of their calories for
the final nine months. By the study's end, both groups lost roughly 9 to 10 percent of their
3
total body (T3R3) weight. However, the researchers found that the participants of the dieting
group lost muscle mass during their weight loss, while the exercising group did not."If push
comes to shove and somebody wants to know if they should diet or exercise to lose weight,
I would suggest exercise, provided they are willing to put in the extra time and effort and not
offset the gains they make by eating more," said Edward Weiss, the study's lead author.
Though the most effective weight loss strategy is to combine (T3R4) diet and exercise, the
researchers emphasized that people who only exercise to lose weight are missing out on
some unique health benefits of calorie restriction."It's important that dieting not be seen as a
bad thing because it provides enormous benefits with respect to reducing the risk of disease
and is effective for weight loss," Weiss said. "Furthermore, based on studies in rodents,
there is a real possibility that calorie restriction provides benefits that cannot be achieved
through exercise-induced (T3R5) w eight loss."

TYPE OF TEXT

A (T4R1) school is an institution designed for the teaching of students (or "pupils") under the
direction of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is
commonly compulsory. In these systems, students progress through a series of schools.
The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the Regional section below), but
generally include primary school for young children and (T4R2) secondary school for
teenagers who have completed primary education. An institution where higher education is
taught is commonly called a (T4R3) university college or university. In addition to these core
schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary and
secondary education. Kindergarten or pre-school provide some schooling to very young
children (typically ages 35). University, (T4R4) vocational school, college or seminary may
4 be available after secondary school. A school may also be dedicated to one particular field,
such as a school of economics or a school of dance. Alternative schools may provide
nontraditional (T4R5) curriculum and methods. There are also non-government schools,
called private schools. Private schools may be for children with special needs when the
government does not supply for them; religious, such as Christian
schools, hawzas, yeshivas, and others; or schools that have a higher standard of education
or seek to foster other personal achievements. Schools for adults include institutions
of corporate training, Military education and training and business schools.
In homeschooling and online schools, teaching and learning take place outside of a
traditional school building.

T5R1

medicine

(T5RI) Medicine is the science and art of healing. It encompasses a variety of health
care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by
the prevention and treatment of (T5R2) illness. Contemporary medicine applies health
science, biomedical research, and medical technology to diagnose and treat injury and
T5R2
disease, typically through medication or surgery, but also through (T5R3) therapies as
diverse as psychotherapy, external splints & traction, prostheses, biologics, ionizing
radiation and others. The word medicine is derived from the Latin word medicina,
meaning the art of healing. Early records on medicine have been discovered from ancient
5
T5R3
Egyptian medicine, Babylonian medicine, Ayurvedic medicine (in the Indian
subcontinent), classical Chinese medicine (predecessor to the modern traditional Chinese
Medicine), and ancient Greek medicine and Roman medicine. The Egyptian Imhotep (3rd
millennium BC) is the first physician in history known by name. Earliest records of dedicated
T5R4
(T5R4) hospitals come from Mihintale in Sri Lanka where evidence of dedicated medicinal
treatment facilities for patients are found. The Indian surgeon Sushruta described numerous
surgical operations, including the earliest forms of (T5R5) plastic surgery.
