Why Virgin Earth Juice? Juicing is a natural way to feed our bodies with essential minerals, vitamins, and living enzymes. Almost all of the nutrients our bodies need can be found in the juice of raw fruits and vegetables. Incorporate juice into your life, and pack more healthy choices into your days. Our drinks are designed to invigorate the body and mind. The juices are not only great for the body, but taste great too! Clean, organic, raw, farm-fresh, gluten-free, dairy-free, pesticide-free and GMO-free are not just trendy words at Virgin Earth. We take extra steps for cleaning and testing to ensure everything in our products is safe and good for you. Everyday at Virgin Earth juice is freshly made and poured into our signature bottles. Our smoothies and juices are made to order on site. Our goal has always been to provide nourishing, clean fuel for the body, mind and spirit. We put together a variety of detoxifying, nutrient rich cleanses to suit individual needs and concerns. We provide our community with real options. All our juices is sourced every day at market and made daily. We NEVER rotate menus as it enables bulk buying of food — we would rather make less profit and provide more nutritious, fresh food. We need 2 days notice to start you off and many times less if you become a regular client. Juicing is one of the easiest ways to get your daily recommended servings of fruits and veggies in every day. Fresh juice floods your body with antioxidants that boost your immune system. Juice essentially cuts out a step in digesting and metabolizing nutrients, allowing our bodies to better spend our energy elsewhere. Antioxidants in fresh juice can lead to healthier and more radiant hair, skin, and nails that glow from the inside out! People using prescription medication should not do a cleanse longer than 3 days without medical supervision. During a detox you will probably feel great, but some experience lows, both physically and mentally. If anything is overwhelming, physically or emotionally, seek medical attention immediately. Colonics, massage, saunas, yoga and hot baths are recommended to assist the detox process.

Published online 9 February Nature doi Olive Heffernan. A multi-million dollar prize is on offer to anyone who can invent a device that will remove significant amounts of dioxide from the atmosphere. As one of the largest science prizes on offer, it is likely to attract huge interest globally in a bid to combat . Current global emissions are more than 7 billion tonnes per year. It must "contribute materially to the stability of the Earth's climate". The winning entry could be anything from manufacturing bacteria to install in industrial emissions pipes, to creating a system that buries CO 2 underground, or even inventing artificial trees to breathe in the gas from the air. A panel of noteworthy scientists and environmentalists will oversee the innovations. The competition is officially open for at least the next five years, during which the judges will meet annually to consider any submissions. It is likely that many known technologies will be perfected and put forward for the prize, he says, but they hope it will also encourage the pursuit of new technologies. One possibility to remove significant quantities of CO 2 from the atmosphere is to capture it from the emissions from power plants and storing it beneath the seabed in gas, liquid or solid form, a process referred to as carbon capture and storage. Already a key area of research, this technique could be a likely contender for the prize in light of amendments to an international agreement governing the dumping of wastes at sea. Due to take effect on 10 February, the amendments will allow to be stored permanently in structures under the seabed. Proposals already abound to store CO 2 in decommissioned oil and gas wells, or to transform it into stable liquid or frozen solid states for burial. One famous Norwegian project that began to bury its CO 2 ten years ago has so far managed to squirrel away 10 million tonnes of the gas. But storing it underground has raised concerns that, over time, the gas might leak back into the ocean and atmosphere. Virgin Earth Juice | raw juice diet

Had I been at home, I might have thrown the book against the wall. Not wanting to get thrown off the plane, I had to force myself not to. Feb 12, Alexandra rated it liked it. The history was fascinating but the main character is a schmuck. Aug 01, Alexandra Jones rated it did not like it. I quite enjoyed Earthly Joys, being from a male perspective Gregory's characters are usually female and with so much about the gardening trade and history of the time, it was a refreshing and interesting change. I expected to like this sequel equally or maybe even more, for the main character surely goes off to Virginia; exciting! It was dull as dishwater. I was hopeful in the first third. Disappointed in the second third. Bored as hell in the third third. The dealings of Charles I and I quite enjoyed Earthly Joys, being from a male perspective Gregory's characters are usually female and with so much about the gardening trade and history of the time, it was a refreshing and interesting change. The dealings of Charles I and then the Commonwealth are interesting historically, but they were just laid out so blandly in the book. There were chunks of text that made me feel like I was at school, which is unusual with Gregory. I don't find the time period or even academic chunks of text dull in general, but the way the bland facts were interspersed rather heavily with the listless human drama really look the shine off them. The book didn't seem to know where it wanted to go either. First J John's son and now main protagonist is in Virginia, having a very interesting time with an underage native girl. I was hoping he'd stay there quite a bit longer or there'd be more about the Powhatan tribe, but needs must when the devil vomits in your kettle; after a month's romp in the jungle wearing nothing but a deer-hide thong J has to return home. When he gets there he finds his father is dead and does not seem massively bothered and some strange woman he's never met living in his house and looking after his kids. Not wanting to love another woman even though he's sworn his hand to the 13 year old Powhatan girl in Virginia he decides that for the good of the kids they can marry. Poor Hester, for some reason, can't resist J's charms and falls for him, despite their marriage being only for convenience. J doesn't seem to feel the same way for a while, though he also has no intention of going back to claim his child fiancee. Smooth move, J. Meanwhile the Kingdom is falling apart, Charles is stirring his mess, and the people and parliament are rising up against him. Despite the sense of bravery and duty his father has tried to instil in him for some hundreds of pages in the previous book, J decides he's had enough of it and he's going to run away and live in Virginia. He asks Hester and the kids to come with him, suddenly deciding they're now important, but they refuse. No one needs scurvy, the flux, starvation or to be scalped by an Native American added to their list of woes, I guess. Being the nice, considerate man he is, J leaves anyway. When in Virginia he makes a hash of trying to build his own house and live off the land. He's pretty godamned bad at it. So bad that the watching Powhatans his discarded teen love included covertly bring him food which he promptly soils himself with. In despair and destitution J makes some sort of mad venture in a canoe and wakes up in the Powahatan village. The natives scorn him for being, frankly, disgusting, but eventually he wins some of them to his side, including his much-jilted lady, Suckahannah. She admits she still loves him and gives her mighty, bare chested adonis husband the boot. J learns the Powhatan ways and becomes a brave, with the unlikely name of Eagle. He lives in some sort of sexy utopia where he does nothing but screw, farm and hunt. I feel this guy is getting off lightly whilst his estranged English wife is solely providing for their children back in war-torn England. The Powhatan, not feeling too kindly about the white man pushing them back day by day on their own land, mount a war band against the bulk of the Virginian settlers. Unable to attack his own people even though he's sworn that the Powahatan are his people he chickens out and is thus looked upon in great shame. So not only can he not remain faithful to a woman, or look after his children, he is also useless to both nations as he can't make up his mind who he is for. The Virginians, having fortifications, hunting dogs, muskets, and not much else to do, launch a pursuit of the Powhatan, driving them into swamp lands. Unimpressed with her husband's turncoat ways, Suckahannah wants nothing to do with him. Treated as a sort of bumbling clown, J decides he's had enough and forsakes the natives to go home. Because that's just his way. We keep thinking J may go back to Virginia. That we may hear more of the brave Suckahannah, her wily children, and her buff and raven haired ex. Instead we're treated to umpteen pages of historical misdeeds blockily put down in between Johnnie's J's son caterwauling about supporting the crown and blistering to be off at war. Johnnie gets his wish and comes back with a bitchin' scar. Frances, J's other kid, is now a fair maiden and marries their ageing family friend. Hester continues to pine in plain-faced silence. There's no spark between her and J for the rest of the book. By this point I didn't care. The king gets the chop and Cromwell sets himself up as leader. Yep, yep, that's all well and good, but do we have to have 'this war, that war,' for the rest of the book without really checking in much on the intricacies of the characters anymore? I love history, but I've got to be honest, that's not my main reason for reading this books - the characters are. Sick of living in a world where he feels justice is turned upside down, Johnnie, in a rather over-dramatic turn of events, drowns himself in the lake behind the family house. Gutted, J returns to Virginia to see what has become of his abandoned 'people', only to learn his ex wife and super-fine native friend are dead, and the Powhatan are generally locked up inside what we would think now as a rather poor 'reservation'. Unable to think of any way to help them, he just leaves. There's quite a bit of dithering with the main characters in between these political events again, mostly complaining loudly at each other. Poor old uncle dies, leaving Frances a widow. Perhaps a handsome suitor will come? Nope, there's no time. There's only time for a decidedly rushed and shoddy ending which left me feel empty inside and not at all bothered as to how the main characters may end up in the future. I normally like Gregory's books. They're escapes. Sensationalist and sultry, but with a nice smattering of historical realism to back it up. And usually the balance of interesting characters and history is well done. They're not quite bodice rippers, these yarns, and they're not academic essays - but they grip you nonetheless. Its a shame this one has faltered so badly for me. Feb 28, Suzanne rated it it was amazing Shelves: historical-fiction , around-the-usa-challenge I am a historical fiction fan. I have read some of Philippa Gregory's bestsellers, and I've liked them, but not loved them. Books like The Other Boleyn Girl are what I call "pop historical fiction," and while they can be enjoyable, historical fiction purists typically find them disappointing. That's why I was surprised to enjoy Virgin Earth as much as I did. I didn't just like this book, I loved it! Gregory's research about England and colonial America during the reign of King Charles I laid a fi I am a historical fiction fan. Gregory's research about England and colonial America during the reign of King Charles I laid a fine background for a novel about a gardener to the king, John Tradescant, and the struggle for survival in an era where conflicting loyalties were not welcomed. I also greatly appreciated the author's knowledge of plants of which I have a little myself , and the love of botany that the main character shares with the reader. Virgin Earth is a stand-alone sequel to an earlier release called Earthly Joys. I'm definitely going to put that novel on my TBR list. There is so much to enjoy about Virgin Earth , it is exciting, historical and definitely a page- turner. Jul 06, Ari Apa rated it it was ok. So boring. Sep 30, Laura rated it liked it. If you enjoy Phillipa Gregory's historic fictions, you will enjoy this one. This is technically a sequel to her book Earthly Joys, but I never read Earthly Joys and I don't think you miss anything - they are described as 'free standing.

A royal gardener, John Tradscant, sets off to the royal colony in Virginia in an attempt to escape not only war-torn England but also to escape some tragedy in his personal life. The book goes back and forth between Virginia and England and the main character goes back and forth between his love for England and the new world - back and forth between his loyalty to the King and his disgust with the King - back and forth between is feelings for two women Frankly, this guy got on nerves at times! The book is rather long, but held my interest and I particularly liked the historic detail on the Virginia colony as well as this time period in English history. If you enjoy gardening, you will appreciate all the botanic references - and there are a lot of them! Oct 23, Nicole rated it liked it Shelves: gardening-theme , historic-novel. Sequel to Earthly Joys. Living in the time of civil war when the goals are so confused is reflected in Tradescant the Younger's life. In , Tradescant acquired Scarlet Runner Beans sent from Virginia, and started growing them at Oatlands as an ornamental plant for their flowers. His own travels to America began with Charles I sending him in "to gather all rarities of flowers, plants, and shells. Around these three trips the Sequel to Earthly Joys. Around these three trips the author created a connection to a native wife and a personal anguish over what was being done to the endemic people by the British colonials. Tradescant had a virtual monopoly on plants introduced from the colonies since he brought back or bought up seeds from travelers for 90 new plants. Why they are upset with sellers remorse I do not know since the Ashmolean collection in Oxford still retains Tradescant's collections nearly intact. Feb 03, Sarah rated it really liked it. I enjoyed this sequel to Earthly Joys by Philippa Gregory more than its prequel, mostly, I think, because I identified with John Tradescant II better than John Tradescant I in seeing both sides of everything, making it hard to make a decision and stick with it. I also enjoyed learning about the Powhatan people and their ways and reminding myself of the cruelty of America's first immigrants. Perhaps their similar characters ma I enjoyed this sequel to Earthly Joys by Philippa Gregory more than its prequel, mostly, I think, because I identified with John Tradescant II better than John Tradescant I in seeing both sides of everything, making it hard to make a decision and stick with it. Perhaps their similar characters made it hard to grow their relationship deeper. John Tradescant III seemed unstable in his reasoning, particularly having grown up while England was at war, and it seemed fitting that he drown himself. I wish, too, that John Tradescant II had been able to leave The Ark and the rarities room and the gardens to Frances, who had so longed to be a Tradescant gardener and might have been able to with the changing times. What an unsatisfying ending to a lifelong struggle to not only simply stay afloat, but also leave a legacy! Mar 08, Elizabeth Nesbit-comer rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites. I loved the perspectives in this story. John Transcendant takes you from a waring England to the settlers in Virgina and even over to the side of the natives as he tries to find a place in the world where he fits. My favorite part of the book was his time with Suckhanna and the Powhatan. Just the descriptions of this big clumsy man over dressed in the heat trying to make his way through the forest while Suckhanna moved gracefully like a deer made the experience a worth while read. The joys of g I loved the perspectives in this story. The joys of gardening and finding new plants in unknown areas of the world make me itch for spring so that I may begin my own garden. I also learned a bit more about English history and the role of the first King Charles and his follies that brought about his beheading to that of his son King Charles the second after many failed attempts by the country to survive as free people without a royal overseer. All in all a long but very worthwhile read. A strong 3. Reason why I didn't give it a 4 was because as much as this book was filled with heavy thematic elements against the backdrop of a civil war, it lost focus about three quarters through. Nonetheless, Gregory manages to piece together all important characters during the tumultuous period into one well written masterpiece. And while I appreciate the different A strong 3.

Classically ruled by Jupiter , Pisces likes to explore expansive emotional and spiritual territory. Being innately intuitive and comfortable with vulnerability, Jupiter-ruled Pisces is a contrast to Mercury-ruled Virgo, who needs to organize, analyze, and discern what is useful. Imagine Jupiter, the bold, boundless planet of opportunity and philosophy confined to the efficient and perfectly arranged world of the virgin, who likes things just so. These standards may or may not be of their own making but may challenge those born with this placement to balance perfection with a need to stay open to exploring and expanding into opportunities. Venus was said to be exalted in Pisces by classical astrologers, where she is able to uniquely and auspiciously express her poetic, artistic, and pleasure-seeking qualities. When in the opposite sign of Virgo, Venus was said to be in her fall, which may not pose as strong of an adaptive challenge as a detriment might, yet still puts the planetary force somewhat out of its comfort zone. This could present in these natives as the need to take a long time to warm up to and trust those that they love. It can also take form as a tendency to place high expectations for consideration and perfection on those they are in relationships with. Natives with Venus in Virgo benefit from not being too self-critical and by being more loving of themselves. In the modern astrology system of the Twelve Letter Alphabet, each zodiac sign rules one of the twelve houses in the birth chart. This innovation was created by psychological astrologers to match sign affinities to related house topics. Since Virgo is ruled by the planet of communications, it invites an analytical Mercury sub-signature to the sixth house. This house, associated with our bodies and sense of purpose, symbolizes a merging of spirit and matter to form a unique being in the world. In classical astrology, the degree of the rising sign was found inside the first whole sign house, dividing it into a portion that was above the horizon, and a portion that was below it at the moment of our birth. Magic and its mysteries are given to us by the god Hermes, who is associated with Mercury, making this planet able to wield special potency as a bridge between the heavens and earth from the first house. Those with the sign of the Virgin prominent in their charts are great at dedicating themselves to projects and relationships that need some care, healing and tending, to restore them back to health, purity, and natural function. The primary Virgo strengths can be found in their mental agility, adaptability, and skillful, meticulous nature. Diligent and observant, these folks think clearly, learn quickly, and gain enormous satisfaction in serving, healing, and helping to bring order, perfection, and practicality to their world. Cool and conscientious, they are typically able to carefully discern between what is skillful and useful, and what is not. Too busy working on improving themselves and the world around them, they are often humble and modest and are usually too earthy and sensible to become arrogant and self-aggrandizing. Virgoan powers of communication are powerful and they value developing a functional emotional vocabulary to help themselves and others to be understood. Hard-working and efficient, they are happy to be at the service of friends and family, not in a self-diminishing way, but in a way that is innately considerate and compassionate. The Virgoan archetype reminds us of our dependency on Mother Nature, and the need for our relationship with her to be healthy and reciprocal. These values are often upheld in Virgoan natives who seek to restore bodies, minds, and ecologies back to their purified and intended natural states. Though intelligent and mentally dexterous, this highly functional mind can easily become overactive, leading to worry, anxiety, and insomnia. What they think up may become more real than what is actually happening, making it important for these natives to stay grounded in their bodies, breath, and the moment. With this tendency they may hold themselves and others to impossibly high standards of perfection, sometimes causing more stress than anyone needs. Naturally modest and humble, Virgin natives may become too much so, succumbing to self-doubt and worry that they will never be good enough and that their work will never be worthy of presenting to the world. This may paralyze them from taking risks, sometimes leading to a surprising streak of avoidance and procrastination that normally productive Virgos can fall prey to. Those born under the sign of the deeply about bodily health and protection of the environment, however, they can become inordinately focused on toxins, hygiene, and catching possible diseases. Virgo natives must be careful to not give into obsessive and compulsive rituals, as well as going down the rabbit hole of self-diagnosis. The stress that this causes will only lead to the ill health that they fear. Virgo children will be well- nurtured if they are encouraged to get their hands dirty and make a mess, to be allowed to make mistakes, and yet be loved unconditionally. Naturally self-critical and self-aware, they may be too sensitive to overly stern criticisms and need to know their self-worth is not connected to how well they perform. They attend to the essential details of life that may go unnoticed until they are not functioning properly. We all have Virgo somewhere in our birth chart, so we can look to the house that the sign of the Virgin rules to find the specific area of our life we approach in an organized, contentious, and efficient way, or where we need to call in Virgoan sensibility for material mastery. Virgo people tend to be drawn to any pursuit where they can sort, repair, and attend to a practical or bodily need. Technical and craftsperson roles are well-suited to this mutable archetype, as well as health care, herbalism, and anywhere precise attention is needed. Though earthy and dependable, they are also mutable, so their careers do need to have some dynamic of developing and implementing change and protocols that lead to better efficiency. At the same time, their sense of timing and order is very important to them, so routine jobs that involve regularity and consistency help them feel focused and grounded on the task at hand. Workplaces where they help organize or can be part of a well-administered team with clear, discernable roles, will help them make effective use of their talents. Virgos will likely find dirty, cluttered, and untidy workspaces to be a stifling and distracting hazard, so they may work to help create well-attended work and living spaces for others. These folks will certainly need to cultivate this sort of harmonious environment for themselves to feel calm and satisfied. With keen Mercurial minds, those born under the sign of the Virgin may take to roles in analysis and statistics naturally. They may be involved in designing the formulas for collecting numbers, and also designing the systems that sift and examine the meaning and implications of raw data. This can take form in bookkeeping and accountancy roles as well. Ruled by Mercury, Virgo has a knack for words and language, and may enjoy careers in translation, linguistics, and speech therapy. They also will likely be quite literary, so will make good writers, copy editors, and fact-checkers, as no detail will go unnoticed by them. With a strong probability that those born under the sign of the Virgin will make great teachers and mentors, they could be found sharing technical skills of all kinds. This could be in many forms, from computer programming to trades and craftsperson professions. Virgos will likely have a clear, useful, and organized way of disseminating knowledge, and will demand perfection from their students. Being interested in nutrition and food quality, they could make excellent food safety inspectors as well as fine dining critics. They may also turn their keen senses and refined tastes to critique the world of fashion, art, literature, and music. To earn their thumbs up will be a great accomplishment!

He hopes to identify soils he considers relicts in danger of extinction unless efforts are made to preserve tracts of land. A relict is a plant or animal species living on in isolation in a small local area as a survival from an earlier period or as a remnant of an almost extinct group. Amundson conceived of the idea of the national virgin soil study when he was asked to write an essay on the subject for a geology anthology called "The Earth Around Us: Maintaining a Livable Planet" to be officially published on Earth Day , by W. In researching his chapter, he discovered that quantified data on the nation's undisturbed soil were unavailable. Department of Agriculture," he said. Many endangered soil types are in what Amundson calls "subtle landscapes," annual grasslands, desert, tall grass prairie. Some early antibiotics came from soil microorganisms. To begin the first-ever national study, Amundson joined up with Berkeley ecosystems professor Peng Gong, who specializes in geographical information analysis. The two professors are taking the USDA's national digitized map of original soil surveys and overlaying it with current maps of agricultural and urban growth. My impression is that there is a very small pool left of some very important soils. Amundson is a good choice for the task. He and his colleagues have been studying some of the oldest soils anywhere. A series of terraces in Wyoming told them, for instance, that summer monsoons once blew off the Great Plains over high desert. Other soil studies have revealed that global atmospheric carbon dioxide buildup began not with the burning of fossil fuels, but with the conversion of prairies and woodlands in the United States and Europe to farmland. For most of his career, land preservation was not an area Amundson worked much in. For almost 20 years, he has been quietly delving into complex soil chemistry such as carbon cycles and light-isotope geochemistry. Traditionally, soils have been the domain of agriculture, where they were studied as the medium to grow crops. Amundson hopes to change all that, bringing the study of soil to the wider attention of geology and the earth sciences, where it deserves a rightful place, he said. The University of California has its own important role to play in soil preservation, Amundson said. One of the most interesting natural landscapes left in California is in and around the site of the new UC Merced campus, he said. https://files8.webydo.com/9588441/UploadedFiles/90C772EC-1A6B-C4F6-8A4D-6A4B5B6B552D.pdf https://static.s123-cdn-static.com/uploads/4644153/normal_6020b21fb5dd3.pdf https://files8.webydo.com/9586176/UploadedFiles/CF9AFAC6-7BF9-C61B-9015-25C7A1ADB1F8.pdf https://static.s123-cdn-static.com/uploads/4637296/normal_601f232d46c03.pdf
