Increasing the intake of fruits and vegetables will provide many nutritional and health benefits. It is important to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables because they contain different combinations of fibre, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends a minimum intake of five portions of fruits and vegetables daily. This is also known as the five-a-day. However, eating more than the five-a-day recommendation will help you boost your health further.
Fruits and vegetables are beneficial for health. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables will provide plenty of vitamins and minerals. They are also a good source of fibre and antioxidants (substances that protect the cells of your body from damage). The main nutrients found in vegetables include potassium, dietary fibre, folate (folic acid), vitamin A and vitamin C.
Potassium is important for maintaining blood pressure. Vegetable sources of potassium include sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans, tomato products (paste, sauce and juice), beet greens, soybeans, lima beans, spinach, lentils and kidney beans.
Dietary fibre from vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet helps reduce cholesterol levels, may lower risk of heart disease and is important for proper bowel function.
Commonly found vitamins and fruit and vegetables include vitamins A and C. Vitamin A keeps eyes and skin healthy and helps protect against infections. Vitamin C helps heal cuts and wounds and keeps teeth and gums healthy and aids in iron absorption.
Fruits and vegetables are generally low in fat and calories unless they are fried, cooked in a high amount of oil or added to sugar and syrup.
Therefore, choosing to eat more fruits and vegetables instead of other foods that are high in fat or have added sugars can help us maintain a healthy weight and thus prevent the risk of overweight and obesity.
Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables is also found to prevent some cancers.
Experts all around the world agree that fruits and vegetables can prevent disease, improve the quality of life and maintain health and well-being.
One portion is equivalent to: one apple/ pear/banana/orange; one glass of 100 per cent fruit juice; one tablespoon of dried fruit; three heaped tablespoons of vegetables; and one cereal bowl of salad.
Fresh, frozen, chilled, canned, 100 per cent juice and dried fruits and vegetables are all considered. Fruits and vegetables do not have to be eaten on their own but they can be incorporated into other dishes such as sauces, sandwiches and soups.
• Potatoes do not count as vegetables as they are classified as starchy foods. Starchy foods are foods such as bread, pasta and rice.
• One glass of 100 per cent juice (pure juice, not made from concentrate) only counts as one portion of fruit and vegetables no matter how much you drink. This is because juice is low in fibre. The juicing process also 'squashes' the natural sugars out of the cells that would normally contain them. These can be harmful to the teeth, especially if a lot of juice is drunk between meals.
• Dried fruit also counts as only one portion no matter how much you eat. This is because they are lower in certain vitamins, including vitamin C. Dried fruit also contains more sugar than the same weight of non-dried fruit, since the water has been removed. It is for this reason that one must eat smaller amounts of dried fruit than a portion of fresh fruit. Eating large amounts of dried fruit can also be harmful to your teeth.
• Beans and pulses also count as one portion from your fruit and vegetable intake. This is because they do not give the same mixture of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients as fruits and vegetables.
• Chop up vegetables such as cucumber, sweet pepper, celery, cauliflower and carrots and eat them with your favourite dip.
• Blend fruit with natural yoghurt, milk and ice cubes to make a smoothie. This will make a delicious snack.
• Add fruit to your cereal at breakfast time.
• When preparing meat dishes, make sure there are more vegetables than meat on your plate.
• Prepare a fruit salad to take to school, work or even the beach. Blend a variety of fruit, such as bananas, pears, apples, grapes, kiwi and oranges, that could serve as dessert. This is also ideal for elderly people.
• Blend vegetables in tomato sauce or in soups to encourage a higher consumption of vegetables especially by children or fussy eaters.
• Eating a diversity of colourful fruits and vegetables can be an easy way to get a complete range of the vitamins and minerals your body needs to maintain health.

Q: can I change this html tag/code with javascript/jquery with a submit? I searched online for changing html code with javascript but all I kept on finding is something like .innerHTML and then output text.
I'm wondering if we can change the html code in the back end with just javascript/jquery/json
e.g I have an input text area with an output text that's red with .class1 and a submit button then in the text area I type in class2 or 2 then the .class1 changes to .class2 after submitting.
just an example with some simple codes here.
//so I have two classes here just for example
.class1
{
    color:red;
}

.class2
{
    color:blue;
}

//form with action and method and a text area input and a submit button
<form action=" " method="post">
Which class<input type="text">
<input type="submit">

//let's say this is the original out put (.class1 with text Using Class 1 in blue)

 Using Class 1

so now let's say in the text area I typed in class2 then click submit

 Using Class 1

changes to

 Using Class 2

or even if there's no class3 but if in the text area I input class3 or gibberish and the output would be something like
 Using class3 or gibberish

I'm actually more interested in how changing this
 can be done more than the Using class 3 part.
Hopefully my explanation isn't too gibberish.
Thanks in advance people~

A: If I've understood what you're trying to do, you need to use removeAttr('class') to get rid of any existing styles, then addClass() to put the new one on. Try this:
Which class
<input type="text" id="class-name" />
<input type="button" id="update" value="Update" />

Using Class 1

$('#update').click(function () {
    var newClass = $('#class-name').val();
    $('p')
        .removeAttr('class')
        .addClass(newClass)
        .text('Using ' + newClass);
});

Example fiddle

A: I have done using Jquery.Following solution will help to achieve your need.

    <title>Untitled Page</title>

    <form action=" " id="frm">

        Which class<input type="text" id="txtInput">
    <input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" onclick=" return fnSubmit();">

        Using Class 1

A: You can easily do this with .addClass()
Try this
$('#update').click(function () {
    $('p').removeclass('old class name').addClass('new class-name')
});

A: There are two ways to go about this:

*

*You can removeClass() and then addClass() the class you need and then change the text you want to display

*You can surround
 with a
 and over-write
 all together using innerHTML of the
.

Irving, TX, March 27, 2015 – Caris Life Sciences® today announced the presentation of data from a study in which Caris Molecular Intelligence®, the company's comprehensive tumor profiling service, revealed the molecular differences of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer. The data, presented at the 68th Annual Cancer Symposium of the Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO) in Houston, Texas, helped researchers identify potential therapies, not normally considered, to target molecular subtypes of HCC, a disease for which treatment options have been extremely limited.
The study titled, "Comprehensive multiplatform biomarker analysis of 313 hepatocellular carcinomas identifies potential novel therapeutic options," was presented today during the Plenary II session at the SSO symposium. Investigators utilized Caris Molecular Intelligence's multi-platform approach, which included gene sequencing (Sanger and next-generation sequencing [NGS]), protein expression analysis (immunohistochemistry [IHC]), and gene copy number analysis (chromogenic or fluorescence in situ hybridization [CISH or FISH]). The investigators examined tumor samples from a large cohort of patients with liver cancer to describe molecular patterns and associations and to identify potential therapeutic targets for this disease.
Using Caris Molecular Intelligence, the researchers conducted a retrospective review of HCC molecular profiling data from 313 individual patient specimens. They reported that the tumor suppressor gene p53 (TP53) was mutated in 28% of samples; other frequently mutated genes included the catenin (cadherin-associated protein) beta 1 (CTNNB1; 23%), and BRCA2 (20%). The TP53-mutated samples exhibited significantly higher expression of topoisomerase 2A (TOPO2A), thymidylate synthase (TS) and ribonucleotide reductase M1 (RRM1), implying high rates of tumor growth and DNA synthesis. Despite the lack of FDA-approved therapies that specifically target TP53, these findings suggest that anthracyclines, fluoropyrimidines (5-FU), and gemcitabine might benefit patients with TP53 mutated liver cancer.
Dr. Ang remarked that CTNNB1 is one of the most frequently mutated genes in liver cancer. This finding suggests that patients harboring CTNNB1 mutations may benefit from agents that target the WNT signaling pathway (i.e., where CTNNB1 resides). In addition, CTNNB1-mutated tumors showed significantly higher expression of the secreted-protein-acidic-and-rich-in-cysteine (SPARC) and androgen receptor (AR) than non-CTNNB1-mutated liver cancers, suggesting combination therapies that could be tested in future clinical trials.
More than half (52%) of the samples showed high expression levels of the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), and 80% showed low expression levels of TS. Metastatic liver cancers (N=105) exhibited significantly higher expression of PD-1 and low TS than primary liver cancers (N=209), suggesting the potential utility of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in patients with metastatic liver cancer. The investigators also observed amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in 10% of patients, suggesting that these individuals might benefit from tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that specifically target EGFR.
Caris Life Sciences® is a leading biotechnology company focused on fulfilling the promise of precision medicine through quality and innovation. Caris Molecular Intelligence®, one of the industry's leading tumor profiling services with more than 70,000 patients profiled, provides oncologists with the most potentially clinically actionable treatment options available to personalize cancer care today.

THE ULTIMATE TREACHERY - FINAL
The saga of THE ULTIMATE TREACHERY, Apuron's sordid attempt to get a cloistered community of Carmelites nuns to LIE for him (because what he did could be seen as an ecclesial crime), has, as of Mother Dawn Marie's statement of 11/15/2016, a day which will live in infamy for The Tony, (the infamous Archbishop Anthony S. Apuron, Ofm. Cap. D.D., Metropolitan Archbishop of Agana (as he liked to sign himself) has reached its end, and I have updated the story with the BOMBSHELL conclusion for the whole world, but ESPECIALLY THE VATICAN, to see.
But the real crime and the real reason the Vatican now has to remove The Tony is what he told Mother Dawn when she confronted him about his attempt. Tony answered (paraphrase): PIUS MADE ME DO IT.
Dear Rome. This SHOWS a bishop NOT IN CONTROL of his diocese. He is and has been for years, INCAPACITATED, and has turned the running of this diocese over to a filthy piece of putrified flesh masquerading as a Carmelite Friar and an itinerant Catechist of the Neocatechumenal Way, which harbors similar filth even in your midst. And you know it.

Mary P E November 19, 2016 at 1:22 PM
Evidently, Rome has selective hearing, so keep telling it the way it is, Tim. And we will continue the protests in front of the Cathedral.
Mary Lou Garcia-Pereda November 19, 2016 at 8:10 PM
Mary P E, I'm guessing Rome is not limited to the selective hearing that you mentioned but also selective reading since Tim has been documenting for three years (and counting) on this blog the evidence of how Anthony Sablan Apuron was truly incapacitated, having submitted himself in his persona as Brother Tony to the dictates of the NeoCatechumenal Way via Pius.
The Delusional Dingbat Diana is counting on the strength of the Kiko-Gennarini Connection to enable the return of this serial child sexual abuser to the island. With the departure of Archbishop Savio Hon Tai-Fai on 1 December after the 28 November arrival of Coadjutor Archbishop Michael Jude Byrnes with Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Martin Krebs and then the subsequent departure of Archbishop Byrnes on 9 December, Apuron and his KikoBot masters probably anticipate that there will be a vacuum in archdiocesan leadership that only he can fill, under the guidance of Pius of course.
We must remain vigilant and, as you noted, we WILL CONTINUE the protests in front of the Cathedral-Basilica 0900-0945 on Sunday mornings.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle …
St. Athanasius, pray for us
Mr. Terlaje November 19, 2016 at 2:36 PM
And this was probably the only time that Tony boy was finally telling the truth or was he? LOL!!
Not truth, 2:36 PM, more prevarications. He needs to face a civil court where he can be held liable to perjury or contempt. Tony Apuron and Truth do not mix. We will not allow him to deceive us again.
First time I met Putrid in 1997 or 8 I was blown over by his smell of BO. I mean he smelt like a cow farm putrid. Then I noticed those horrible teeth like. But above all I sensed a very evil man who would damags the church. Thats exactly what he did. He destroyed the very unity of the church we true catholics hold dear. Time to throw out Putrid folks.
What would be the title of the movie version? The Pedo Who Cried Oops
I've always wondered, since when does a shepherd and teacher of the faith, relinquish his responsibility as shepherd, a great responsibility given to him by the Holy Spirit and entrust his responsibilities to a priest who does not have the fullness of the priesthood in comparison to himself a successor of the apostle in his office of bishop. On top of relinquishing his office, the teacher of the faith becomes a catechumen, brother Tony taught by master catechist Putrid. This ass backwards arrangement that Tony allowed to happen is clearly a case of the tail wagging the dog. For our spiritual leader to say that Putrid made him do it, He does not assume responsibility of the office that he possesses, and rather attempts to save his ass, blaming the reason for lying to mother Dawn on Pius. Apuron is clearly not worthy to be a shepherd of souls.
We have seen the apotheosis of Putrid Pius over the years. He got away with much because of this exalted status, even conned a spineless bishop to become his lapdog. Putrid Pius has had an excellent mentor in Kiko Arguello whose lack of talent led him to overcompensate by rewriting his personal history and making himself a demi-god. His atrocious artwork that would not have mustered flea market quality was peddled worldwide by sycophants eager to please their petty god.
Rome now has indisputable "testimony" of AAA's incompetence to remove Apurun! Filoni see you tomorrow at 9am!
According to Diana, the previous AFC members knew that the buying of the Yona property was for the specific use as an RMS seminary and signed off on the authorization. Richard Untalan should have a copy of said documents.
DianaNovember 19, 2016 at 10:41 AM
Dear Anonymous at 9:59 am,
Mr. Untalan and the finance council signed and approved the purchase of the property, which stated that the property is to PERMANENTLY house RMS. They have the document, but they never published it in the jungle. Why? Because at the top of the document, it clearly stated that the purpose of the purchase is to permanently house RMS.
AnonymousNovember 19, 2016 at 2:13 PM
Diana please post a copy of the document!
DianaNovember 19, 2016 at 2:25 PM
Dear Anonymous at 2:13 pm,
Ask Mr. Untalan to show you the document. If he refuses to show you, then you know why.
AnonymousNovember 19, 2016 at 10:11 PM
Why do you refuse to show us.
Said documents according to her will be used in court.
On another note, it is interesting that she posted an article from the jungle regarding the letter from the Mother Superior concerning the Money donated. Mother Dawn did not break her silence for the first time as previously stated, but broke it the first time she gave Tim Rohr the letter.
Tim November 20, 2016 at 5:42 AM
LOL. Poor DIANA. She sent the letter to Rome. I suppose she gave me the Tagle letter too. LOL.
What does Untalan approving of the purchase for an RMS have to do with anything? Untalan was a member of the NCW and even in the same community with Apuron. So of course he would have approved of it. Untalan has NEVER objected to it being used for an RMS. Untalan only objected to giving away the property to the RMS.
As for Mother Dawn, she is not bound to silence when crimes are committed. As she said, she forwarded that letter immediately to Rome. Hon even admitted that he read it.
Typical Neo bullcrap. They're caught red handed so they divert, deflect, deny and try to make the truth the crime. LOL. Too late, Diana. You're done.
Tim, I'll bite. What is this "Tagle letter" you're referring to?
Yes, intriguing... Card. Tagle wrote a letter about this? When can we expect to see that please?
Typical Diana response. Shooting from the hip with nothing in the clip. Stupid is as stupid does. It's the Diana way.

How cute are these Watermelon Cake Balls? Okay, they don't taste like watermelon, but they are damn adorable, and you need these at your 4th of July get-togethers and summer BBQs! They may not taste like watermelon, but these Watermelon Cake Balls are super delectable bites of moist cake with chocolate chips and a dunk of white chocolate!
I intended to share these Watermelon Cake Balls before the 4th of July, but you know how I am with best laid plans! They don't happen. But I have a big picnic coming up this weekend to celebrate my Gma's 90th birthday, so it got me thinking about picnic foods, and I think these super cute Watermelon Cake Balls are a fantastic picnic food.
The ingredient list is short, so they're a cinch to make, and they're just summery and adorable. They're also basically just cake, frosting, and chocolate, sooooooo… what are you waiting for? Get thee to the kitchen. You won't be in there for long, I promise. You barely have to bake at all. I can barely even call this a recipe. It's simply a charming and clever idea (that I wish I'd come up with on my own, but I have Pinterest to thank) that executes incredibly easily. It also happens to taste amazing because, again, it's cake, frosting, and chocolate. There's nowhere to go wrong in the flavor department.
Okay, okay, they aren't the *perfect* picnic food because, well, the chocolate's gonna melt on ya, that's true. BUT, they are otherwise portable, pre-portioned, and relatively non-messy. Besides that pesky chocolate coating (you neeeed the chocolate though… it's chocolate!), they are a picnic-friendly dessert. They look like watermelons, so I deem them picnic food. Cool? Cool.
Since I'm on vacation this week and am too consumed with shopping, eating, and playing with my Gma's new kitten, I'll spare you any more of my rambling and will cut to the chase: see recipe below for Watermelon Cake Balls. It's also 91 degrees and I am living mostly without air-conditioning, so it's not that easy to put together coherent thoughts. 🙂 Bottom line is, if you like cake and you like cute food, these are for you.
Simple cake balls decorated to look like watermelons!
Allow cake to cool completely, then break apart into crumbs in a large bowl.
Add frosting, several tablespoons at a time, to cake crumbs.
Mix well, and continue adding frosting until it reaches a consistency that it can easily be rolled into balls.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them an inch apart on the baking sheet.
In a small pot over low heat, melt the candy melts.
Using toothpicks, cake ball sticks, or a dipper, dunk the cake balls, one at a time, into the chocolate, thoroughly coating all edges, and allowing excess chocolate to drip off the cake balls.
Carefully set them back onto the baking sheet.
Allow chocolate to set - about 20-30 minutes.
Oh, I should also mention that these Watermelon Cake Balls are actually strawberry-flavored. 😉 Prepare your taste buds accordingly.
Thank you! They turned out well and you can't go wrong with the ingredients, ya know? So glad you like them!
These cake balls are just adorable. Love them!
So cute! Love these, they're so fun, and perfect for a summer treat!
Thanks, Stacey! I saw the idea on Pinterest and thought it was adorable!
so cute!! These will be such a hit with kids!
those cake balls are chocolate AND so festive too. And Happy 90th to Grandma!
That's what I thought too! Thanks so much!
These look and sound delicious! Pinned! Found you at Thursday's Favourite Things.
Those look like a lot of work, but are absolutely the cutest, mouth-watering watermelons I have ever seen!
Yummmm these looks so good and so CUTEEEE!!!!! Great share!!!! Pinning!
I bet these were tasty! Pinned & shared. Maybe I'll get to try out the recipe sometime. The look really pretty. Thanks for sharing at the Inspiration Spotlight Party!
I'm so happy you like them. Thanks so much for the party!
These are adorable!! I love this idea and will have to try asap!
These are stunning!!! I am drooling!
I wonder too! I have seen chocolate-dipped watermelon pieces before and I always thought it a little strange!! But most fruit and chocolate go well together! I'm definitely curious. If you try it, let me know. Do they make watermelon cake mix?
Haven't found watermelon cake mix but I was thinking about the LorAnn oils.
That's a GREAT idea! I'm really interested in how it turns out. I bet it would be really good. Let me know if you try it!


Drain the tomatoes and reserve 2 tbsp of the liquid. Add this and all other ingredients except the pickles and red onion to a small food processor or blender and pulse to combine. Stir in the minced pickles and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
It's Summertime and the living is easy only if you simply your cooking routine. With these simple sauces you're ready to serve greens or vegetables from the farm stand.
Toss with leaves and lettuces or lightly steamed bok choy leaves, beet greens, swiss chard, escarole and kale. Each sauce also serves as a sturdy dip for raw vegetables too - carrots, celery, cucumbers, peppers and my favorite: the white stems of bok choy.
*Drizzle a head of garlic with 1 tbsp olive oil and wrap it in foil. Bake in a 375 degree oven (I used my toaster oven) for 30 minutes or until soft. Let cool.
Squeeze the garlic from it's skin into a blender or small food processor bowl.
Add all other ingredients except the oil and blend until smooth.
With the motor running, slowing pour the oil in and purée until smooth.
Make ahead and store in the fridge for up to a week.

The hard discounters (Aldi and Lidl) recently reached a combined 10% total market share, growing value sales by 15.4% (Aldi) and 17.9% (Lidl) respectively year-on-year (Kantar Worldpanel, 12 w/e 6 Dec 15).
The market's competitive response is contributing to falling prices across staples (including dairy) as other retailers attempt to attract shoppers back into their stores.
The Institute of Grocery Distribution (IGD) predicts that the discount channel as a whole will deliver the largest cash gain of any UK channel over the next five years, growing by an additional £10.5bn.
It is therefore likely that pressure from discounters will continue, and four in ten shoppers expect prices to remain the same over the next 12 months (IGD ShoppperVista, November 2015).
