Something Today About Germany...
The landmark of Allersberg, Germany is its Gate Tower. The tower was used as a
school, and the tower guards were both protectors and teachers at the
same time. It was also used as the location for the public market
scales. In addition, part of the Gate Tower was the so-called "Allersberger
Loch", the local jail. Today there are exhibitions of local artists and
theater performances. The heart of town is the market square, where you
can find shops, restaurants and the town hall. Until the mid 1970's,
Allersberg was connected to the local railway system. When it was no
longer economical to operate, it was closed and the rails were removed.
Still existing is the Old Station House, which is now home to the local
public library. The oldest building of Allersberg is the All Saints
Church. Some fragments from the 13th century are still visible. The
church was renovated between 1946-1956, after it was
destroyed in World War II.

You might be surprised at how working out
can change your whole day. When endorphins are released into your
bloodstream during exercise you feel much more energized the rest of the
day. And when you improve your strength and stamina, it's easier to
accomplish everyday tasks. This also helps you feel more energetic over
the course of the day. While exercise may make you feel more tired at first,
that won't last long.
The physical tiredness you feel after working out isn't the same as
everyday fatigue. Besides, once your body adjusts to exercise,
you'll have more energy than ever. So, have you done some physical
activity today for at least one hour? If not, stop reading this and go
for a run, a bike ride, play basketball, or something!

 Did
You Know?
Your heart beats 300 million times each
year. The heart pumps blood around your body every second of the day.
Blood carries oxygen, nutrients and chemicals that every body cell needs
to survive, and blood washes away all the waste products - including
carbon dioxide. How fast does blood flow? Blood flows through the
arteries at 40 inches (or just over 3 feet) each second. Now that's
fast! I (Paul) weigh around 150 pounds and have about 10 pints of blood
in my body. How many pints of blood do you think your body has? ______________________________________________________________________________
