“Who being the brightness of
his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things
by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat
down on the right hand of the Majesty on high” (Hebrews 1:3).
Most people still see God in
the context of the Old Testament—an angry God ready to punish and
curse. However, Jesus Christ is the mirror image of God as He relates to
us now, after the cross; He is ready to show us His love, mercy, and
grace.
By: M. Cuerdo Many studies show that faith
healing and modern medicine do not belong together. However, with the
inclusion of spiritual recovery in many rehabilitation programs, the
link between spirituality and healing becomes shorter and shorter.
Faith healing Faith
healing is the concept that prayers and rituals have the power to heal a
person from disabilities or diseases. While healing through a divine
intervention is commonly accepted in many religions, faith healing
involves the use of special prayers and practices in order to get a
special favor from a higher being. This type of healing is not yet
accepted by mainstream medicine and even alternative medicine. There
is another form of healing through faith. This is in which a person
uses prayers, meditation and other ritual in order to help him or her in
spiritual recovery. This usually applies for people who are undergoing
or have undergone rehabilitation. Spiritual recover Spiritual
recovery is a complex concept to understand. This can be better
understood by learning that there are four levels of recovery: physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual. Physical recovery refers to getting
rid of the substance or of the disease (and its effects) from the
physical body. Mental recovery is the reorganization of one’s thoughts
or ideas regarding a situation. Emotional recovery is takes place some
time after the mental recovery since the person’s feelings and emotions
are greatly affected by his or her thoughts. Spiritual recovery
involves the other three levels of recovery. This begins when the
person cabetter control his emotions and response to situations. The
person’s outlook in life and his or her approach to situations become
more positive. Spiritual recovery continues throughout the person’s
life and can never be completed. Role of religion The
concept of spiritual recovery becomes easier to grasp once its
relationship with religion is discussed. Many of the world’s religions
are founded on the belief that there is a higher being or a higher
self. This belief usually encourages a person to do what is good
according to the teachings of one’s religion. Interestingly, the
concept of what is good is similar in several religions. Many
religions also use prayer and meditation and these help a person become
more goal-oriented and allow him or her to take time to respond to a
situation. This doesn’t mean that people who do not belong to any
religion will have a difficult spiritual recovery. There are
non-religious meditations that he or she can do. Besides, spirituality
does not always have to be linked to religion. Being spiritual is being
attuned to one’s spirit and taking steps to care for one’s body.

Coaching Tennis
By: Jennifer Seaton
For those who are interested in a
more individualized sport, tennis is one of the popular options. This
particular game is built to show strength, durability, and grace all at
the same time. If you are looking at the possibilities for participating
in tennis, you can begin by understanding the basics of the game.
Tennis
is not a game that was invented at any recent time. In fact, the game
has been traced back to the ancient Greeks and was played casually among
several cultures for centuries. By the year 1874, the name tennis was
patented and became a standard game around the world. It first became
popular in French, then spread to Portugal and England, eventually
moving to a world wide known game. Tennis begins in a court
that is about seventy-eight feet long and twenty-seven feet wide. It
will either be made of grass, clay, or concrete, depending on the
texture that is needed for the game. One player will be on each side of
the court with a net stretched all the way across the middle in order to
divide them. One of the players will begin by serving the ball and the
other player will be designated to receive the ball.
The
objective of tennis is to get the most points by getting the opponent to
miss the ball. If they are not able to hit the ball back over the net
with a racket, then it is a point for the other side. If the ball
bounces more than once, if it goes out of bounds, hits the net on the
way back or is missed, then the opposing side will gain a point.
Usually, there will be five sets in a tennis match, all which will be
added together with the points that are made by each side striking the
other out. If you are looking into the game of tennis, this is
where to begin. The basics of the game allow one to see what the main
objective and goal is in order to win. By doing this, one will have the
ability to take their playing abilities to the court.

Diet, Dietary Choices, Healthy Diet And Weight Management
By: Chukwuemeka Thompson In nutrition, diet is the total sum
of food taken by a person or an organism. The word diet means the use
of certain intake of nutrition for health or weight management purposes(
with both of them going hand in hand). Although, human are omnivores,
each culture and each person holds some food preferences or some food
taboos. This may be due to personal tastes or accepted principles.
Individual dietary choices may be more or less healthy.
Complete
nutrition requires ingestion and assimilation of vitamins, minerals
essential amino acids from protein and essential fatty acids from
fat-containing food, also food energy in the form of carbohydrate,
protein and fat. Dietary habits and choices play an important role in
improving the quality of life, health and increased life span. Some cultures and religions have restrictions concerning what food are
allowed in their diet. For example Judaism are allowed to take kosher
foods, Islams Halal foods, Buddhists are generally vegetarian, meat
eating may be allowed for Buddhists depending on the sects. In Hinduism,
vegetarianism is allowed. Jains are strictly vegetarian and eating of
root are not permitted. A lot of people avoid food(diet) from
animal source to a great extent( eg flexitarianism , vegetarianism,
veganism, fruitarianism) f or health purposes, issues surrounding
morality or reduced impact on the environment, although, some public
assumptions about which diets have lower impact are known to be
incorrect. Raw food is another contemporary trend. These diets may
require tuning or supplementation such as vitamins to meet ordinary
nutritional needs.
Hence, healthy diet help in improving or
maintaining maximum health. In developed countries, affluence enables
unconstrained caloric intake and possibly inappropriate food choices.
Health, agencies recommend that individuals should maintain normal body
weight b y consuming low calorie foods and sugary drinks, eating plant-
based, limited consumption of red and processed meat, and limiting
alcohol intake. The dietary guidelines for Americans is an evidence-
based information source that policy makers and health professionals use
to advise the general public about healthy nutrition. Finally,
diet may be chosen for weight loss or weight gain. Changing one's
dietary intake or "going on a diet" can change the energy balance and
increase or decrease the a mount of fat stored by the body. Some foo d
are specifically recommended in conjunction with exercises. Specific
weight loss programs can be injurious while others may be beneficial and
this can be coined as healthy diets. The term s "healthy diet and diet
for weight management" are often related, as the two promote healthy
weight management. Having a healthy diet is a way to prevent health
problems, and will provide the body with the right balance of vitamins,
minerals, and other nutrients. Conclusion, a healthy diet is a
diet that contain the six classes of food in the right pro portions that
can enhance quality health, increased life span and help in weight
management. Chukwuemeka Thompson is dedicated to helping people stay informed on
health, wellness and weight loss. For more information and in-dept

At 1:07 a.m., officers observed a suspect that fit the description that was provided and gave the suspect commands to stop and remove his hands from his pockets. The suspect disregarded the commands and fled on foot at which time a foot pursuit ensued. During the foot pursuit, officers gave the suspect several commands to stop and remove his hands from his pockets. The suspect brandished a firearm at which time officers fired shots at the suspect, subsequently striking the suspect.
The suspect, 27-year-old Lucas Alvarado. from Milwaukee, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The suspect's firearm was recovered at the scene. No officers were injured.
The officers involved are a 30-year-old male with over 2 ½ years of service, a 31-year-old male with over 4 years of service and a 23-year-old male with over 1 ½ years of service.

Lovewar released their debut album Soak Your Brain in 1993. But before it could create waves, public tastes changed from melodic hard rock to grunge, dooming Lovewar and many other amazing bands of that time.
Fortunately, due to the miracle of crowd-funding, the band was able to finally record and release the follow-up album they wrote in the mid-’90s.
And it sounds fantastic.
Actually it sounds better than fantastic. Guitarist Tim Bushong is known locally for getting amazing guitar tones from the bands he records, and he goes all-in on their sophomore release. Listen to the opening riff of “Upside Your Face” and you’ll hear an overdriven guitar so thick and nuanced you won’t be able to stop from smiling. The guitar riff ain’t nothing to shake a stick at, either.
Together with Greg Purlee on drums and Rick Armstrong on bass, Lovewar has brought a piece of the past into the present with 11 top-notch songs recorded with today’s sonic technology, so everything pops. And the energy… I’m close to the age of these guys, but I would have to overdose on Geritol to summon up this kind of vitality. The massive guitar riffs of this three-piece band make comparisons to King’s X very apt as the music is heavy with vocal harmonies and often contain a strong groove. I’m hearing some Extreme, some 1984-era Van Halen, and surely I’m not imagining the Kevin Gilbert influence on “Who I Am.”
Packed with punishing wah-pedal abuse, the immense swagger of “Mercy” will cause even the lame to boogie, while the bass gets to shine on “Tuxedo Alligator,” at least until the chorus when razor-sharp guitar chords cut through the swampy groove. And if you don’t blow a speaker in your minivan listening to “Candle,” then you might want to check your pulse.
I’ve only listened to this album a few times and I keep finding their songs stuck in my head. While there really isn’t anything groundbreaking or trendy on Lovewar, each of the 11 songs are done astoundingly well, whether it’s the actual songcraft itself, the playing, or the recording.
This is definitely the kind of music that you crank up in your mid-life-crisis convertible as you cruise the square.
The relentless advance of the Gospel is still God’s plan to reach the world.
Acts 2:21 “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Receive Blessings from God Through Obedience
By: Francis Hirak Receiving blessings from God is
contingent on obedience to Him.(Ex 23:25) God’s blessings rest upon the
obedient ones, producing spiritual prosperity and filling their material
needs, making itself evident in their homes, their land, their off
spring, their animals, their food supply, their traveling, and in their
every deed. God’s blessing is for "the head of the righteous one." (Prov
10:6-7) When we, as true Christians are faithfully obedient to His
word, He is pleased to ‘open the floodgates of the heavens and actually
empty out His blessings until there is no more want.’ (Mal 3:10)
Since the keyword is obedience in wining God’s favor, to receive His
blessings, let us look at how Paul refers to obedience. In Rom 10:17,
16:26, (compare Acts 6:7) he shows that hearing plus faith produces
obedience. Since true faith is the "assure expectation of things hoped
for" and "the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld," and
since it requires believing that God is "and that he becomes the
rewarder of those earnestly seeking Him," those having faith are moved
to obey, having confidence and assurance as to the blessings that
obedience will bring. (Heb 11:1-6) There are times when God’s
blessing comes after one goes through hard times and remains obedient to
His Word, as Joseph did. Joseph was hated by his half brothers and sold
into slavery. They hated him so much that they sold him to the merchant
traders that were passing through for twenty silver pieces, even though
he pleaded for compassion. (Gen 37:28; 42:21) Eventually, the
merchant traders brought Joseph into Egypt and sold him to Potiphar, the
chief of Pharaoh’s body guard. (Gen 37:36) Even then he stayed obedient
to God and showed himself trustworthy to Potiphar. With God’s blessing,
every thing that Joseph did turned out successfully. When Potiphar
entrusted Joseph as overseer of his house, all that he had he put under
Joseph’s authority. (Gen 39:2-6) Because of Potiphar’s wife,
Joseph got thrown into prison where the king’s prisoners were kept. (Gen
39:11-20) Later, however, the chief officer of the prison house,
(because of Joseph’s exemplary conduct under adverse circumstances and
therefore God’s blessing being upon him), placed Joseph in a position of
trust over the other prisoners. In this capacity, the prisoner Joseph,
again through obedience, showed himself to be an able administrator by
seeing to it that all the work was done. (Gen 39:21-33)
Again
restored to his position, the cupbearer forgot all about Joseph for two
full years, until Pharaoh had two dreams and no one could interpret the
dreams. It was then that the cupbearer brought Joseph to Pharaoh’s
attention and at once Pharaoh sent for him. Joseph then explained both
of the dreams to Pharaoh, the one of plenty and the one of famine.
Additionally, he recommended measures for alleviating the future
conditions. (Gen 41:1-36) Through God’s blessing Pharaoh
recognized that the spiritual blessings of God were upon Joseph and that
he was wise enough to administer affairs during the time of plenty and
the time of famine. Joseph was therefore blessed and constituted second
ruler in Egypt, Pharaoh giving Joseph his own signet ring, fine linen
garments and a necklace of gold. (Gen 41:37-44) And then there
was Job who received God’s blessing through extremely hard times. Job
was a man living in the land of Uz, in what is now Arabia. (Job1:1) God
said concerning Job: "There is no one like him on the earth, a blameless
and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?" (Job 1:8) Then
Satan challenged Job’s integrity: Have You not made a hedge around all
that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and
his possessions have increased in the land. "But now, stretch out Your
hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your
face!" (Job 1:10-11) After Satan, (through various means) took
away first Job’s livestock and servants, then his children (Job
1:13-19), Job never charged God with folly or wrongdoing. Neither did he
turn away from God, even when pressure was brought upon him by his wife
and others, Job continually kept to God’s Word. (Job 1:20-22) He spoke
the truth about God. (Job 42:8) He accepted reproof for being anxious to
declare himself righteous and neglecting to vindicate God (Job 32:2),
and he acknowledged his sins to God. (Job 42:1-6) As an
example for Christians who follow the course of obedience, we see God’s
blessing through the book of Job. At the end of his faithful course,
under testing, God constituted Job a priest for his three companions who
had contended with him and God restored Job to his former status. He
again had a fine family and God blessed Job with twice as much as he had
before. All his relatives and former associates returned to pay respect
to him and to bring him gifts. (Job 42:7-15) God blessed Job so much
that he lived to see his children and grandchildren for four
generations. (Job 42:16) Through the prophet Ezekiel, God
pointed to Job as an example of righteousness. (Ezek 14:14, 20) His
patient endurance of suffering is set before Christians as a pattern,
and his blessed outcome is pointed to as magnifying God, for the Lord is
very compassionate and merciful. (James 5:11) The account of Job’s
trialsome experience and God’s blessing gives great comfort and strength
to Christians, and many Bible principles are highlighted and
illuminated by the book of Job. Likewise Noah was faithful and
obedient to God. He proved himself faultless among his contemporaries,
for Noah walked with God." (Gen 6:8-9) It was due to the possession of
strong faith that Noah, in implicit obedience, did "according to all
that God had commanded him." (Gen 6:22) It was because of his unwavering
faith in God that the Christian writer of the book of Hebrews included
him in that "so great a cloud of witnesses." He wrote: "By faith Noah,
after being given divine warning of things not yet beheld, showed godly
fear and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; and through
this faith he condemned the world, and he became an heir of the
righteousness that is according to faith." (Heb 11:7, !2:1) When
Noah and his family came out of the ark after the flood was over, God
blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: Be fruitful and multiply,
and fill the earth. (Gen 9:1) The blessing from God makes one rich. And
He adds no sorrow with it. (Prov 10:22) God’s blessing comes to those
whom He approves by protecting, prospering, guiding, giving success and
supplying their needs, with a beneficial outcome for them.

If
a few brief hip flexor stretches is your idea of mobility work, you're
cutting yourself short. Make hip mobility a priority, and your reward
could be a better squat and less back pain!
I like to think of myself as a
powerful, modern Highland warrior, or maybe a Viking. Had I been born
1,100 years ago I would have leapt first off the longboat to battle
hundreds of enemies with a giant axe, or so the fantasy goes. But, it
didn't take strength coach Matt Wattles long to put a pin in that
balloon. All he had to do was ask me to raise my toes all the way up to
his hands, and in an instant, I felt like a senior citizen with a hip
replacement. That movement was hard. Unfortunately hip mobility issues like these are some of the most
common problems I see in the weightlifting population. However, the
issues manifest differently in different people. In some, it's a basic
inability to descend below parallel—or anywhere near it—in squat
variations. In others, it can contribute directly to debilitating lower
back pain, even in people who spend hours every week strengthening their
backs. The hip flexors in particular can be troublesome little cusses. These
muscles are crucially tied to the functionality of everyone from elite
athletes to senior citizens, but working them can make anyone feel
silly. After all, you never see videos of Ronnie Coleman walking with
his arms extended in front of him like a zombie, attempting to raise his
toes up to his hands.
It's time to swallow your pride and get serious about this neglected
area of your body. Use my three-pronged attack, and your weak hip
flexors will simply have no choice but to get stronger and healthier.
Meet The Hip Flexors
The hip flexors are a group of five muscles that connect the femur
(or thigh bone) to the pelvis. They move in one of two ways. When the
pelvis is stationary, a contraction of the hip flexors will draw the
femur upward—think the classic "goose step."
Conversely, if the femur is stationary, a contraction of the hip
flexors will tilt the pelvis forward and the butt back—think of the
pull-back portion of Garth's many hip thrusts beginning at about 40 seconds in ... foxy lady! Last month,
I talked about the unique complexity of the shoulder, and how a problem
there can produce effects throughout the upper body. Well, the hips are
just as complicated, and pelvic dysfunction can be just as
far-reaching. Your erectors, glutes, hamstrings, abdominals, quadriceps,
hip flexors, and more all interact at this junction, and a problem with
any one of them can lead to debilitating immobility and weakness in
lifting and in life. You may have been told that the answer is to undergo a barrage of
awkward hip flexor stretches as often as possible. In truth, that's only
part of the solution. As with the shoulder, you need to smash,
stretch, and strengthen your hip flexors in order to improve them.
1. Come Unglued
The first step in building better hip flexors is to spend some
painful minutes ungluing tissues that have been frozen from years of
sitting at a desk. I recommend rolling, aka "self myofascial release." You can roll on just about anything. I've used several different types of foam rollers, a Rumble Roller, lacrosse balls, PVC pipe, a number of weird stick-shaped things. I've also been getting great results using the Body Wrench,
an awesome device that is basically a combination of all of the above. I
have found that different materials are suitable for different areas on
different bodies, so feel free to experiment and find what works best
for you.
Keep adjusting your position until you find a hot spot, and then hold that position for at least 30 seconds.
To work these tissues, start by locating your iliac crest. Sounds
like a rare bird species, but it's the top bony part of your hip that
sticks out by your beltline. If you're using a lacrosse ball, simply
move into a plank position on the ground and lay on the ball so that it
presses into your hip just below the crest. Move side-to-side slowly, so
the ball moves back and forth laterally several inches at a time. Keep adjusting your position until you find a hot spot ("A what? I don't know what you're ... Oh! My God! There one is!"),
and then hold that position for at least 30 seconds. Your first impulse
will be to tense up when you feel tenderness, but it's important that
you relax and continue to move around the area. Keep it up, and don't
hurry. The more slowly and more often you can do this, the better.
2. Get On The Couch
Now that we smoothed out that old tissue and dislodged a few
fossilized nasties, let's see what we can do about improving
extensibility. The couch stretch is one of the most effective movements
you can do for opening up your hip to the end range of motion. Adopt a
kneeling position in front of something that you can use to hold your
foot up (i.e., a couch). Your back knee should be completely flexed,
meaning your heel is as close as possible to your butt. It's easy to compensate in this position by hyperextending your lower
back, but it's crucial that you don't. Instead, I want you to focus on
squeezing your glutes and hamstrings, which will push your hips forward
into a full-on "schwing." If your right foot is back, you should feel an
intense stretch on the right front side of your hip. Hold it for a long
time, like a minute or two, and then switch sides.
Like rolling, this is a movement that deserves to be done as often as
you can tolerate. Physical therapist and coach Kelly Starrett has
written that you should do it for two minutes on each side every half hour.
That may be tough to manage, but the point is this: Frequent,
long-duration stretches are the only stretches that will have any
significant effect on your tissue length and mobility. If you want to
improve, you have to commit.
3. Build Flexible Flexors
When I first began training, I assumed that because I had short,
tight hip flexors, they must be strong. Wrong! Because we spend so much
of our lives sitting—a position in which the hip flexors are passively
contracted—most people's flexors are both short and weak. The psoas, our primary hip flexor, is usually the weakest of the five
flexors, and the other four hip flexors have to work more as a result.
To test if this is the case for you, lift one knee well above 90 degrees
and hold it there, ensuring that you do not compensate by moving your
pelvis or leaning forward. If holding this for more than a few seconds
is painful or impossible for you, your psoas suck. You are going to have
serious trouble squatting to parallel or lower if these muscles can't
do their job properly. One way to strengthen the psoas is by performing the type of
toe-lifting movements I mentioned at the start of the article. However,
in this case I prefer to rely on closed-chain movements, where the hands
are fixed and can't move. This small change makes it harder to cheat or
compensate, allowing you to focus squarely on the movement. My exercise of choice here is floor-slide mountain climbers. You will
need some furniture moving pads, Valslides, or something similar that
will slide smoothly on your floor. Paper plates even work well in a
pinch. Put your feet on the sliders and move into a push-up position. To
perform the movement, simply pull one knee at a time up toward your
chest, going as high as you can while keeping your foot on the slider.
You can alternate legs with each rep or do sets of one leg at a time.
Don't expect it to be easy.
Floor Slides
Your hips may not lie, but they can really sidetrack your training if
they fall out of whack. Implement this three-part plan, and your hips
will be more effective in the gym and less prone to injury moving
forward!
