Do You Know The US Flag History?

Flags Unlimited is a business that since 1985 has manufacturer of all types of flags and banners, offering both wholesale and retail sales. Not only do they sell flags, but I learned some flag history about the US flag.

The current official U.S. flag is a 50 star flag, born of the need for a more practical design to accommodate new states entering into the union. On April 4th, 1818, Congress established the number of stripes at seven red and six white, and provided the addition of one star for each new state. The thirteen stripes represent the original 13 colonies. The 50 star flag has been in use since July 4th, 1960 when Hawaii officially joined the union. In the first years of the Revolutionary War, America fought under many flags. One of these flags, called the Grand Union, flew over George Washington's headquarters near Boston. It was the first American flag to be officially recognized by another country. On November 16th, 1776, the American warship, Andrew Doria, saluted a Dutch fort in the West Indies and was saluted in return. This brought a measure of international recognition to the United Colonies. A flag with thirteen stars and thirteen stripes received its first salute from another country on February 14th, 1778, when French vessels in Quiberon Bay, France, saluted John Paul Jones and his ship, The Ranger. No one positively knows who designed the first Stars and Stripes, or who made the first flag. Soon after the flag was adopted by our new government, Congressman Francis Hopkinson claimed that he had designed it. Some historians believe that Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress, made the first U.S. flag. On June 14th, 1777, in order to establish an official flag of the new nation, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act: "Resolved, that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."

Happy Cappy For Baby & Kids

Brought to you by the same trusted company that has eliminated flakes on tens of thousands of scalps in children of all ages - Dr. Eddie’s Happy Cappy Medicated Shampoo. Their newest offering is a pediatrician’s solution for soothing normal skin and dry, itchy, irritated, sensitive skin for children of all ages. Happy Cappy Daily Shampoo & Body Wash is an excellent choice for children with atopic dermatitis which is commonly known as eczema. 1 in 10 children are affected by this condition. This moisturizing cleanser is dermatologist and clinically tested and is free of skin irritants like fragrance, dye, alcohol, sulfates, phthalates, and preservatives known as parabens. In fact, over 95% of the ingredients are of natural plant-based origin. Ingredients were carefully selected for their soothing properties: Oatmeal Extract, Licorice Root Extract, Aloe Vera, Provitamin B5, and Hyaluronic Acid. Happy Cappy is cruelty free and vegan. Happy Cappy complies with pediatric dermatologist recommendations for eczema by being a non-soap cleanser that is hypoallergenic, fragrance free and has a low pH. Non-soap means that they do not use harsh surfactants that strip skin of its natural moisture. Happy Cappy has a low pH (unlike most other soaps) to match the pH of normal skin, which preserves the barrier function, and antimicrobial activity of skin.

Pediatricians regularly recommend adult dandruff shampoos for this condition because they contain an FDA approved active ingredient to control seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff. Until now there was no children’s seborrheic dermatitis shampoo and body wash. Happy Cappy is the first OTC shampoo and body wash made specifically for children of all ages with an FDA approved active ingredient, pyrithione zinc, which has been proven safe and effective for many decades for relief of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. It also contains the natural ingredient Licorice Root Extract to help soothe redness behind ears, under armpits, and in neck folds. Happy Cappy’s gentle, fragrance free, dermatologist tested, dye free, alcohol free, paraben free, sulfate free, BPA free formula eliminates flaking while still leaving the skin and hair soft and smooth.

Why Hire a Moving Company?

Why Hire a Moving Company?

Moving to a new home can be both exciting and stressful. Packing, figuring out what to leave or bring and getting a moving truck can be overwhelming for even the most organized person. Hiring Austin moving companies can be helpful in meeting all your moving needs and taking some of the load off you. A good moving company offers a full range of services, whether you're moving a few blocks away or relocating across town.

Planning, Packing and Organizing

Packing is perhaps the most difficult part of moving, especially if you've accumulated a lot of items over the years. Perhaps your basement and attic are filled with lots of junk you just don't know what to do with. A reliable moving company like Greater Austin Movers can help you plan your moving day. Having a company that organizes your items and pack them for you can save you lots of time and stress. As you spend less time worrying about moving, you can spend more time turning your new place into a home.

Storage Services

If you don't want to bring certain items to your new place, but don't want to get rid of them either, you may consider working with a moving company that offers storage solutions. This saves you the trouble of having to look for available storage spaces in your area. Since you'll already be working with a moving company to transport your belongings to your new home, you won't have to look elsewhere for a secure storage unit. It can already be available if you choose a full-service moving company.

Efficiency

Moving to a new home involves heavy lifting and packing bulky items. A professional moving company can take this load off you by doing the heavy lifting and transporting from home to home. Professional movers have also been trained on how to quickly, efficiently and safely move heavy items, place them on a truck and transport them to a new home. Whereas, if you and a few family members or friends moved your things, you might encounter a few problems or complications. Professional movers have the right equipment and resources to get your things transported safely and without damage.

In the beginning, you might think that a professional moving company is more expensive than moving everything yourself. However, you can save money by hiring professional movers because they already have the tools and equipment required for moving at their disposal.

Between Us Guys

Between Us Guys by Joel Fitzpatrick
About The Book:
This easy-to-use, life-changing book for fathers and sons gives readers the tools to have important conversations with boys about life, faith, and being a man. With a conversational and captivating tone, Christian fathers and other caregivers are guided into having gospel-focused conversations with boys ages 6 to 10 about a wide range of topics from social justice and friendships to money, anger, and what it means to be a man. Christian dads are given an incredible opportunity to be one of the primary influences in their children's lives for the gospel. By inviting conversations in every arena of life, fathers pass down the message of Jesus Christ to the next generation. As a youth and family pastor and father to a young boy who's entered into many of these conversations, Joel Fitzpatrick knows it's important not to shy away from difficult subjects. But he also knows dads and other caregivers need help in how to have intentional conversations with boys about God, themselves, and what difference knowing the gospel makes to their everyday life. Fitzpatrick invites fathers to share with their sons how the gospel shapes all aspects of life, including how they treat women, people from other ethnic groups, and much more. Specific, practical help is given to dads through suggested activities, Gods Word, and insightful questions. In a world where television, the internet, social media, and gaming culture have taken away from quality time spent between fathers and sons, Between Us Guys urges readers to lean in to important conversations with the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

About The Author:
Joel Fitzpatrick has served as an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church in America with a focus on youth and family. He received his MDiv from Westminster Seminary California. Joel lives in Southern California with his wife of nearly twenty years and their two children. He is the coauthor of Mom, Dad....What’s Sex? and contributed chapters to The Sinner and Saints Devotional: 60 Days in the Psalms.

Love Yourself This Valentine's Day #Valentines2020

When it comes to sexuality and aging, little doubt remains that desire and intimacy don't slow down with age. In fact, as people live longer, healthier lives, studies show that sexual pleasure becomes even more important due to its positive impact on psychological and physical wellbeing. Leading sex tech innovator OhMiBod had this in mind with Rev, a new vibrator in its award-winning Lovelife line designed for ease of use by adults of all ages and abilities. “Sexuality among older adults is one of the last taboos,” said Suki Dunham, founder of OhMiBod. “Until a few years ago, most studies on sexuality deliberately excluded adults over 59 years of age despite that being the fastest-growing segment of the population.” According to the National Poll on Healthy Aging by the University of Michigan, 40% of adults aged 65 to 80 are sexually active, and 54% say sex is important to their quality of life. Sixty-five percent of people in this age group describe themselves as still being interested in sex. Yet, OhMiBod found that this group was largely ignored by sexual health manufacturers.
Rev is a fitting addition to OhMiBod’s Lovelife collection, which was named and designed to reflect the key components of its founders’ thirty-year relationship. The massager represents a new perspective as the Dunhams, now both over 50 years old, enter a new stage in their lives. “There’s a belief that the older you are, the less likely it is that you use or have a need for sex toys. That couldn’t be further from the truth,” adds Dunham. “National studies and our own focus group testing have shown that older people, particularly those who are post-menopausal or experiencing erectile dysfunction, use sex toys to keep intimacy and orgasm in play. As a result, they enjoy healthier lives and benefits ranging from improved arousal and increased brain activity to better sleep and boosted immune systems.”

Ways to Reduce Your Kitchen Waste

There is so much talk about reasons you should become more environmentally friendly, but sometimes it is difficult to know what to do. You may want to reduce your carbon footprint, but you might not have any clue how to. Here are a few ways to get you started on reducing your waste in the kitchen. 

Meal Plan

You most likely have a grocery list each week or at least an idea of what you want to get, but it can be tempting to pick up extra items that look good. Having a meal plan and sticking to it can significantly lower the amount of waste in your kitchen though, and it can also end up saving you a lot of money. Only buy what you are going to use each week. Try using all of the ingredients that you buy and saving and eating leftovers for lunches. You can even store food in portion bags or reusable containers. 

Recycle

Recycling extends past just bottles and cans. A lot of food containers and other items are recyclable. Look online for a list of what you can recycle and print out a list. You can tape it to your recycling can in the kitchen so that you don't forget what items can and cannot go in there. 

Use Your Own Bags

Most grocery stores use plastic bags for your food. It may not seem like a big deal, but if everyone brought their own reusable bags, it would greatly reduce the amount of plastic that is used each year. You can find reusable bags for purchase at almost any grocery store.

While these are certainly not the only ways to reduce your carbon footprint, they are a great place to start and can make a significant difference. Look online for other ideas on how you can help. You can also reach out to other members of your community and get them to start going green as well.

Here Are 3 Things to Remember Before Buying Any Used Vehicle

There are few experiences more enjoyable for most motorists than getting behind the steering wheel of a car they can call their own. Whether it is brand new when it rolls off the showroom floor or previously owned and pampered by another driver, the exhilaration of taking possession of those keys for the first time is often unparalleled. Nevertheless, the process can also be fraught with possible pitfalls and scams to avoid at all costs. When considering the purchase of a used car or truck, remember the following guidelines to keep the process straightforward and simple.

Find an Appropriate Vehicle

When beginning a search for used cars in Abbotsford or elsewhere, it can help to gain a better understanding of what fair market value is for the vehicle being considered. Consider all the needs of a particular driver or family when determining the specifics needed in the car. Think about how many people will regularly be passengers to ensure the automobile is sufficiently roomy. Measure fuel efficiency against how many miles a person expects to put on the car each year. These factors will ensure a buyer not only receives the best vehicle for a particular situation, but he or she will also walk away with a fair deal for a reliable form of transportation.

Find a Reputable Seller or Dealer

There are several ways to purchase a used car, from paying outright in cash to onsite lending to using an outside bank or other financial institution. No matter the route involved, however, it is vital to purchase from a source with a proven reputation for reliability and service. Start with a review online to find local options with great reviews. From there, a person might also find help from friends and family members who have already purchased from a trusted source. 

Find Any Problem Areas in the Vehicle


After finding a car that seems to be a great fit in all the applicable categories, the next step involves a thorough inspection to ensure the vehicle is fit for the road. The worst thing about buying a used car is being financially responsible for someone else's automotive problems. Nip this issue in the bud by finding a qualified mechanic to check out the car before purchase.

There are countless reasons to buy a used vehicle, and it is often a great solution to transportation needs. Follow the steps above to minimize any stress that might come along with this process.
