Armed Forces Day 2021

Blake said that the body was the soul's prison unless the five senses are fully developed and open. He considered the senses the 'windows of the soul.' When sex involves all the senses intensely, it can be like a mystical experence.

Jim Morrison

Armed Forces Day, observed in June of every year, was created to give everyone the opportunity to show their support and gratitude for those who are currently serving in the armed forces, and those who have done in the past.

This support and gratitude is not just for those who serve currently, too – it’s also a shoutout to their families and the families of veterans.

Armed Forces Day sees local communities coming together to celebrate everything that makes that armed forces great and to say a great thank you for their dedicated and loyal service.

History of Armed Forces Day

The morale boost that members of the armed forces get from days like this is invaluable and reminds the families and loved ones of armed forces members why it’s so important.

Armed forces members protect their country, and provide some incredible work around the world – including delivering aid to worn-torn countries, offering security to vulnerable people, fighting the threat of terrorism and ultimately promoting peace.

The British Armed Forces is one of the country’s oldest institutions, comprising of the Royal Navy, the British Air Force, the Royal Marines and the British Army. There is no conscription in the United Kingdom, but anyone above the age of 16 may join.

Although the Armed Forces do predominantly protect the country, a large amount of the work they do today is overseas – particularly working in humanitarian aid efforts and helping to protect civilians in warring countries.

The peril that comes with working in war zones overseas does mean that often these brave men and women have to put their lives on the line – and today recognizes the great sacrifices these people make to ensure the safety of others.

How to observe Armed Forces Day

Armed Forces Day is not meant to be a charitable event itself, but there are a number of charities which accept donations for members of the armed forces and for their families. Today, perhaps you could offer your support to them by donating.

You could also set up a small event in your community, perhaps to raise some money for the aforementioned charities, or take part in on of the many big and exciting events taking part across the country today.

If you have social media accounts, make sure you show your support by sharing information of the day and any local events with your followers and friends, using the hashtag #armedforcesday.

Listicles National Soul Food Month 2021

I started rapping because my mom died when I was about 11 years old, and I was a very rebellious kid. I've been kicked out of every school I've ever been in since 6th grade on, expelled and dropped out in the 11th grade. Music was the only thing that I could really use to express myself, so I started rapping.

4 Heartwarming Soul Food Facts

1. Humble beginnings

   Cooks used their skills to turn cheap and unappealing cuts of meat into delicious meals.

2. All hail kale

   We only recently recognized kale as a "super food." Soul food has depended on it for ages.

3. "Red" is a flavor

   In a soul food restaurant, "red" means a drink — strawberry, cherry or tropical punch. No explanation required.

4. It is also for the vegan soul

   Soul cuisine has embraced many vegan recipes that are spicy, healthy, and delicious! Historically, chefs used seasonal vegetables to cook dishes — with meat thrown in mainly for flavoring.

Food mirrors its history. Soul food, for example, is a cuisine steeped in tradition. It began in the humble kitchens of African-American slaves as a one-pot meal cooked on a shelf over the fireplace. They had little to cook with, but they had memories of their home and love for their family. And the food reflects that. To remind us of this rich culinary tradition, the Culinary Historians of Chicago created National Soul Food Month in June. So while we enjoy these delicious foods, let’s not forget the history.

​5 More Reasons To Choose Fruits And Vegetables

1. ​Bananas are clones

   ​The Panama Disease all but wiped out an entire species of bananas in the 1950s. The bananas we eat today are actually all cloned from a single banana plant in southeast Asia — meaning that every single banana is exactly the same.

2. ​Watermelons can keep you hydrated.

   They're thick-skinned and 92% water. Explorers would carry watermelons around so they had something to drink that would keep them from getting dehydrated.

3. ​Brussels sprouts may be the healthiest veggie

   They're packed with vitamins and minerals, and have virtually zero calories, no fat, and no cholesterol.

4. ​Broccoli contains more protein than steak

   The best part? Since it doesn’t come with fats or cholesterol, you can get all the protein you need with a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

5. ​Apples give you more energy than coffee

   Thanks to its high carbohydrate, vitamin, and mineral content, apples have the perfect storm of nutrition to help you stay energized all day.

Celebrate National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables month this June with these colorful and tasty foods. Fruits and vegetables provide a variety of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fiber — while remaining naturally low in calories, fat and sodium. In addition, they lower your risk of developing certain chronic diseases — and help you maintain a healthy weight.
