Traffic Manager is only eligible for use with App Services (formerly known as Azure Websites and Azure Mobile Services) at the 'Standard' level or above. If you downgrade your App Service to the Free or Basic tiers, it shows as 'stopped' in Traffic Manager

Raw Pressery cold-pressed juices have a shelf life of 21 days. Raw Pressery draws inspiration from organic, non-GMO, cold-pressed Suja Juice which contain ingredients like superherb, ashwagandha and turmeric. Cold-Pressured refers to the process by which fresh food products, such as juice, are preserved using High Pressure Processing (HPP) as opposed to high heat. HPP is a method of preserving packaged food products using extremely high pressure. Hydraulic fluid (normally water) is placed in a chamber and pressurized with a pump. This pressure is transmitted through the package into the food itself. This process extends the shelf life & helps to maintain the essential vitamins, minerals & enzymes in our organic cold-pressed juices and functional beverages.
