We’re enormously happy that we now have nine points
We’re enormously happy that we now have nine points, but Bayern is a completely
different opponent,†admitted Hertha's left-back Marvin Plattenhardt.At the
other end of the table, Schalke 04 host Cologne on Wednesday desperate for
points after three straight defeats..Thomas Muller will look to make up for lost
time after missing the previous match for illness.Hertha’s 2-0 win at home to
Schalke on Sunday means Berlin and Bayern, the only German clubs who still have
100 percent records with three wins from three, will square off at Munich's
Allianz Arena. Their drubbing of Darmstadt on Saturday came with star forwards
Mario Goetze and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the bench.On Tuesday, Dortmund
take on Wolfsburg.But Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel has warned his side they can
expect tougher matches at Wolfsburg, then Freiburg on Friday.Captain Philipp
Lahm, David Alaba, Thomas Mueller and Mats Hummels all missed the Bavarian derby
victory with illness. On Sunday, goals by ex-Bayern midfielder Bath Mats Mitchell
Weiser and Swiss midfielder Valentin Stocker gave Hertha three wins from three.
High-flying Hertha Berlin will attempt to loosen Bayern Munich's iron-grip in
the Bundesliga on Wednesday in the German league's top-of-the-table clash. With
just one win from their three league games, Wolfsburg were held to goalless
draws by Cologne and Hoffenheim in their last two matches.Despite their
personnel woes, Bayern look to be on course to claim a fifth straight German
league title this season having also routed Werder Bremen 6-0 and won 2-0 at
Schalke this season. "We’ll need a really good day.Carlo Ancelotti’s Bayern will
be without Brazil winger Douglas Costa, who has been ruled out for the
foreseeable future with a hamstring injury .But Pal Dardai’s Hertha are one of
the few teams who look capable of weakening Bayern's hold on top spot.â€The
German league has a round of midweek matches with the highlight being Bayern's
hosting of Hertha while Borussia Dortmund, who have posted back-to-back 6-0
wins, are at Wolfsburg on Tuesday

It was never our goal to make them all fighters
We trade techniques. He met Jewelz while at university in Hawaii. "They are
extremely talented,†he said. "It’s amazing, (Christian) making his debut. "Of
course I feel nervous.. "I want to be world champion in as many weight classes
as possible. The day ends with a second round of sparring after work and
school."Martial arts is separate.†The children are grounded or get lengthy
lectures if they choose going out with friends over their studies or their
training, Jewelz said. Ken said his children had the passion to learn martial
arts, which their father took up to fight off racist bullies while he grew up in
Canada in the 1970s.They will be ringside with the rest of the family when
Angela and Christian take to the cage at Manila’s Mall of Asia Arena on Friday
night.Growing up, the two loved playing cops and robbers, chasing each other and
grappling on mats that were spread around the house. "It was never our goal to
make them all fighters, we just wanted them to learn to defend themselves,â€
Jewelz said."Now that we’re older and more mature, we try to help each other get
better and not beat each other up,†said Angela. Christian makes chicken and
eggs for much-needed protein during training while Angela prepares salads using
kale, berries and mandarin oranges.The family start their day with mum’s
pineapple and ginger smoothies before hitting the gym. Christian is not shy
about his big dreams.†As their two eldest children kick off their professional
careers, the Lees are now preparing to train their two younger children.Mixed
martial arts competitors Christian (left) and his sister Angela "Unstoppableâ€
Lee train with their parents Jewelz and Ken in a hotel gym in Manila. It’s no
longer like, I will try to choke you out. I’m extremely focused. "They’re still
kids. Go beyond, and that is what will make us proud,†Jewelz said.†Jewelz said
she finds it hard watch her children get hurt in the ring, and keeps herself
calm by praying.Her husband added: "You’re always a parent first, you cannot
make that go away. Just because we’re physical, doesn’t mean we get physical.And
his parents couldn’t be more supportive. At 11 and nine years old respectively,
Victoria and Adrian Lee are set to follow in the footsteps of their elder
fighting siblings. MMA was just the next step,†said featherweight Christian.
That’s why we train them extra hard, for less chance of injury (and) greater
chance of victory. But they’re good kids. Genetics can get you so far, you have
to have the spirit and they do show that,†he said. — AFPAngela "Unstoppableâ€
Lee charges with a quick jab and a cross, catching her younger but much bigger
brother, Christian, in a choke hold as their father nods in approval. I’m gonna
be nervous for him and focusing on my fight at the same time,†said Angela, who
is attempting her fourth win in as many fights. Born in Canada, raised in Hawaii
and now both representing their father’s home country of Singapore, the Lee
siblings learned how to punch and tumble soon after they learned how to walk,
according to their parents, who run a martial arts gym while working in real
estate in Hawaii.Her father Ken Lee, who has Singaporean roots, held back tears
as he watched his children grant media interviews China chair pads
manufacturer and pose for photographers at the end of a sparring session.
This is their dream and they’re living their dream at such a young age,†the
43-year-old said.And their parents, who also double as their coaches, will be
outside the steel cage giving last-minute directions and at the same time,
praying they don’t suffer career-ending injuries. It’s heartbreaking to see your
children in pain,†she said. Also ringside will be two younger Lee siblings aged
11 and nine, who are also eyeing careers in the uncompromising fighting sport..
Beneath her sweet smile, Angela admitted to being more competitive, treating
their sparring sessions as if they were real fights and taking criticism
personally. Unbeaten straw weight Angela, 19, has been dubbed "Unstoppable†on
the way to winning her first three professional bouts by submission, one using
the rare "twister†lock. We talk a lot,†Ken said.."Martial arts keeps our
family together."My parents started me off at a very young age. It’s crunch time
in training camp for the two teens, who will chase dreams of mixed martial arts
stardom on the same fight card in Manila on Friday. The more I started training
the more I liked it. "We always tell them, don’t follow mum and dad.The Lee
siblings are poised to win over fans, especially in Asia where it is common for
whole families to take up martial arts, said One Championship CEO Victor Cui.
There is synergy in doing things together,†said family matriarch Jewelz Lee,
who is of Korean descent, after a sparring session that ends with the Lees
locking heads and arms in a huddle.It’s a moniker which 17-year-old Christian
will try to live up to when he makes his professional debut as One
Championship’s youngest fighter. "It’s quite an emotional time. "We train,
that’s our lifestyle. Ken and Jewelz laugh when asked if they settle family
arguments in the ring. I feel like I’m preparing for this my whole life,†he

They need to deliver meals to homes
"Amazon declined to comment.The company has also filed for a trademark for
cook-it-yourself meal-kits - a move that pushed down shares of Blue Apron
Holdings Inc - but has not yet detailed its plans for ready-to-eat meal
delivery.In addition to ongoing work with the US military, the company has sold
machines to the Australian government and to food companies in Asia..Wal-Mart
did not comment on whether it is looking into the technology.The dishes would be
easy to stockpile and ship because they do not require refrigeration and could
be offered quite cheaply compared with take-out from a restaurant.
The company
aims to use the machine at a new food innovation center in northwest Arkansas,
near the headquarters of Wal-Mart. Some think packaged food would have little
attraction to the generally high-income members of Amazons Prime shopping
club.The worlds biggest online retailer has discussed selling ready-to-eat
dishes such as beef stew and a vegetable frittata as soon as next year,
officials at the startup firm marketing the technology told Reuters.Unlike
traditional processing methods, where packages are in pressure cookers for up to
an hour until both bacteria and nutrients are largely gone, the dishes retain
their natural flavor and texture, the company said.Delivering meals would build
on the companys AmazonFresh service, which has been delivering groceries to
customers homes for a decade."Not everyone sees why MATS would be worth
pursuing.Amazon Inc is exploring a technology first developed for the US
military to produce tasty prepared meals that do not need refrigeration, as it
looks for new ways to muscle into the $700 billion US grocery business.7 billion
purchase of Whole Foods Market Inc and Amazons checkout-free convenience store,
which is in the test stage.915 Labs also licensed the original patents from the
university, its chief executive Michael Locatis said, and its MATS dishes are
now pending US Food and Drug Administration approval.
The method involves placing
sealed packages of food in pressurized water and heating them with microwaves
for several minutes, according to 915 Labs. Washington State University, a
five-hour drive from Amazons Seattle headquarters, received US funding and
became the research hub for MATS.MATS technology grew out of efforts by the US
Armys Natick laboratories more than a decade ago to improve food quality for
soldiers in combat."I get why new food processing systems that increase shelf
life may be good for Amazon," said Bentley Hall, CEO of fresh food delivery
service Good Eggs. "They will test these products with their consumers, and get
a sense of where they would go."They obviously see that this is a potential
disruptor and an ability to get to a private brand uniqueness that they’re
looking for," said Greg Spragg, a former Wal-Mart Stores Inc executive and now
head of a startup working with MATS technology.915 Labs said it formed in 2014
and acquired the assets of a business called Food Chain Safety, which previously
was working on MATS before facing financial trouble in 2013.""Amazon just
started this," Tang said in an interview.And in March, Amazon joined the
universitys researchers and other companies in Seattle for the inaugural meeting
of the Industrial Microwave Alliance, according to a university news release. "I
struggle to see how this solution addresses an actual consumer want or need
better than fresh, prepared meals.915 Labs also has an Arkansas connection: it
is designing the beef stew and other dishes with a chef at the Bentonville-based
Brightwater Center for the Study of Food.
They need to deliver meals to
homes.If the cutting-edge food technology comes to fruition, and Amazon
implements it on a large scale, it would be a major step forward for the company
as it looks to grab hold of more grocery customers shifting toward quick and
easy meal options at home. It could also complement Amazons planned $13.S," said
Locatis, who was an assistant secretary at the US Department of Homeland
Security until 2013."They have to leapfrog to MATS because they don’t have the
refrigerated supply chain like we have in the U. Theyre hiring food people like
crazy.The pioneering food-prep tech, known as microwave assisted thermal
sterilization, or MATS, was developed by researchers at Washington State
University, and is being brought to market by a venture-backed startup called
915 Labs, based in Denver. They also can sit on a shelf for a year, which would
make them suitable for Amazons storage and delivery business model. The groups
mission is to "accelerate technology transfer of microwave-based food
safety."MATS represents just one way Amazon Bath Mats factory
is searching for an edge in the grocery business, to distinguish itself from
incumbents like Kroger Co.Amazon invited the startup to Seattle after learning
about MATS technology last year at the SIAL Paris food trade show, according to
Locatis.In February, Amazon sent a team to Washington State University that met
with Juming Tang, chair of the schools biological systems engineering department
and a key developer of the technology.Spraggs company, Solve for Food, plans to
acquire a MATS machine from 915 Labs that can make 1,800 packages an hour

The Sikh Gurus and their followers have always sacrificed
Compassion is never selective. It means kindness, sympathy, love and mercy for
one and all. Its essence lies in "suffering in the suffering of all beingsâ€. So
are those who have spiritual wisdom and use meditation as their cleansing bath.
A true Sikh shows mercy and does not harbour ill feelings."So much agony were
they put through So much anguish did they sufferWere you not, O God, moved to
compassion?â€, asks Guru Nanak.â€. The Supreme Lord is the perfect forgiver and we
should be like Him. Compassion is a divine quality and is viewed as the highest
moral virtue. "Forgive others and you shall be forgiven. Forgiveness acts as a
moral link between the self and others. Guru Nanak says, "Who have truth as
their fast, contentment as their sacred shrine for pilgrimage are amongst the
finest people. The Guru says, "The merit of pilgrimages of holy places 68, and
that of other virtues besides, equal not compassion to living beings. The
feeling of compassion is the most important of all the virtues and in fact, as
says the Guru, the "earth is held together by dharma which itself is born out of
compassionâ€. In Sikhism, compassion is the best antidote to violence. You have a
powerful sway over vicious men who dance to your tunes as does the monkey…â€,
says the Guru. "O krodh, O father of strife, you have no compassion. It helps in
meditation leading to a state of bliss. In Sikhism, congregational meditation in
the form of Shabad Kirtan is given utmost importance. Their deity is kindness,
and forgiveness becomes their chanting beads.â€A true compassionate person
believes in forgiving others.Compassion or daya is regarded as the basis of
"dharma†(righteousness). Guru Nanak says, "One imbued with daya chooses to die
himself rather than cause others to die. It is not reserved only for one’s
family or community only.
The Sikh Gurus and their followers have always
sacrificed their lives to defend dharma and to safeguard the rights of the weak
and downtrodden people.†"Why would you expect God to forgive you if you can’t
forgive others?†"To practice forgiveness is the true fast, good conduct and
contentment. As polypropylene
Bath Mats for sale one learns to control anger, to forgive others and to
show compassion, our haumai and ego is dispelled and one attains a state of
happiness and bliss. And how can he be indifferent towards others when God is
not, who is "all mercifulâ€, "dayalumâ€, "karta-purakhâ€. It is like a cleansing
process. Disease does not afflict me, nor does the pain of deathâ€, says Guru
Nanak. Forgiveness and compassion calms the mind and bestows divine grace
(Gurprasad) which directs the Sikh towards self-realisation.Hence, where there
is forgiveness, there is God. The garb of a sadhu and the feeling of "hatredâ€
cannot co-exist.As we forgive others we ourselves are healed. It helps in the
realisation of the truth and elevates the person to a higher level. On the other
hand, a compassionate person does not discriminate but shows compassion towards
all. Anger leads to self and social destruction.â€One cannot call himself a
religious or godly person if he instigates others to unleash violence on
innocent people. Waheguru is full of compassion and compassion only. You can
forgive only if you have compassion. No wonder, he showers His grace on all the
creatures of the earth. It is a remedy to anger and frustration. To forgive is
divine
