Measuring food by the mile How much of your dinner tonight will have been grown locally? And how much will have travelled several hundred miles - even several thousand miles - to reach your table? Measuring food miles is a complex task but, reports Tim Lobstein, the results make disturbing reading. Living Earth and The Food Magazine An analysis of the materials needed to produce our food can be startling. Ten litres of orange juice needs a litre of diesel fuel for processing
brown hair was constantly wet as though he had just gotten back from the beach. He always had an aroma of salt around him, although it was sweet rather than a reeking scent, like saltwater taffy. In order to arrive at our cabin we had to take a half mile walk uphill where it was to dark to see. The instant I walked in the front door I rushed to get a good room, and crashed. I woke up to a noise I had never dreamed I would arise to in Los Angeles. Silence. I as I took my first step outside to be blinded
with numerous activities and breathtaking views. My family and I enjoyed juicy mangos on the sandy beach, the best fresh and crispy fish tacos under tons of surrounding palm trees, and other seafood that was recently fished out of the warm ocean. The food was great, but the activities were even better. Banana rides, parasailing, and jet skiing were among the best activities that I had ever experienced. The rocky water of the Gulf of Mexico and splashes of warm salty ocean water made the banana rides

bizarre dream. The dream was that I had beat every single person in the mile and was lionized by my classmates and it was a moment that I couldn’t possibly apprehend. In reality though I knew that I would be greeted by doom like every other year. As I walked into school my heart dropped deep into my chest because I knew I was one step closer to that mile. I know you be wondering why I would be so scared to run just one mile. My perfect response to you back is that I always come in last and that makes
Five Miles The winter air wraps me up like a thin, old blanket that is just about to break. I feel it course through my lungs, searing my alveolar sacs as they desperately try to extract a few molecules of oxygen from the air, renewing my depleted blood and sending it whooshing back to my legs and arms traveling almost 12,000 miles in a day. And I was only doing five. I hit a hill and feel that soreness in my legs, as if they had been wrung dry like a wet towel; sore but not hurting and then
The Odd One Out What is 120 divided by 10? Pretty simple, but now take 120 by 13. The latter problem is much more complex than the first if if you put down the calculator and pick up a pencil and paper. With the metric system you usually only measure with numbers that are multiplicates of 5 and 10.

the class, the short man yells “get out of your desks and let’sgo outside!” Fairly confused we all got up out of our desks and slowly headed out the door. The whole class met behind the bleachers of the football stadium. “We will run a total of 4 miles today,” the man yelled. The entire class sent a wave of disgust and disappointment throughout the whole school. Looking like a group of zombies we walked slowly and unenthusiastically towards the high school’s field.

The audience that Jesus was speaking to was engulfed in the teaching of the day. Not only through the hearing of the teachings, but also through the actions of those in religious leadership and the actions of normal every day people. Jesus made sure that the church was aware that he was not discounting the law or trying to replace it, but rather he was getting back to "the heart of the law" and showing how kingdom people live out these laws . Jesus did this by going through laws that had been given
