If you are tired of making decisions all the time – at work, at home, within your group of friends, for the school PTA… – establishing a new healthy lifestyle might add even more to the load. Having to make healthy meal choices 3 times a day, choosing between sleeping-in and going to the gym, resisting the donuts or splurging, working over your lunch break or going for a walk… This will soon become exhausting and extremely stressful.
Actually, stress is one of the main reasons people give up their wellness goals.
It is very important that you work on reducing the number of decisions you make on a daily basis. Not only it will limit your risks of making poor choices, but it will also help lower your level of stress hormones. After that, use my “TOP 10 tips to control your stress“ (plus a BONUS!).
Let’s see how you can easily reduce the number of decisions you make every day.
Organize your life so that recurring choices become automatic. It’s OK to eat the same thing every single Monday, to have the exact same grocery shopping list every week, to always do the same thing at the same time with the same people for a while. Especially in stressful times! This will appease your brain.
For instance, design a meal plan for a week or 2 and use it over and over again, only tweaking your shopping list according to seasonal produce. If you need help with meal plans, let me know, I can provide that to you!
Don’t forget to put into your calendar anything you need to automate, until it really becomes a habit: meals, snacks, workouts, chores, etc.
Make sure you don’t have too many clothes and shoes to choose from in the morning, and that those you have are well organized in your closet. It will save you plenty of time and loads of stress. Get rid of items you are not wearing, throw away the make-up you never use, and actually do the same with everything in your house.
Clutter is known for being a huge stressor. Give stuff away, empty your home and office. Not only you will have fewer options to chose from, but you will also reduce the time it takes for your to clean up your mess. Not to mention the rewarding feeling of having other people benefit from what you can’t put to use.
Have as many routines as possible in your week and link them to healthy habits.
Walk around the field during your son’s soccer practice while calling friends and family.
If you look at your calendar, there are many things that you already do regularly. Associate them to a healthy activity that you are trying to set up as a new habit, so that little by little, it will just be weird for you to do one without doing the other. Those routines can be lifesavers when you are starting to lose your motivation for living a healthy life.
When it comes to your “diet” and exercise plan, establish “rules” that you just have to follow without having to make decisions. Any rules! They can be completely random!
For instance, I have a rule that goes: “I can eat all the treats I want but only if they are homemade”. It makes it super easy for me to “decide” whether or not I will eat a piece of cake, wherever I am. I actually don’t have a decision to make, I just follow my rule.
If you find making decisions all the time stressful, it’s important to find ways to make decisions once and for all for as many things as possible.
Of course, chances are you are not just making decisions for yourself. You are making decisions for others too, and carrying alone the burden of the consequences.
You are not the only one who can do laundry!
Be careful though, involving others might add to your stress if it adds a lot of coordination and mediation. So make sure you are really letting go. Remember what your goals is: you want to have fewer decisions to make, you want to lower your stress level, you want to free some brain space so that you can keep your focus on what really matters to you: your health, your wellness goals, your well-being.
When you involve others, LET GO! Don’t micromanage. If the grandparents are watching the kids, let them decide what they do and when they go to bed. You are here today, right? So the grandparents must have done something right! If your spouse is cooking, just sit back and enjoy the meal. It might not be what YOU want, but remember when people do their thing, they might just do it THEIR perfect way.
How do you lower your stress NOW?
– Go and look at everything you do in a week.
– Look at what you can automate, at the routines you can establish, at the rules you can put in place, and at the people you can involve. Don’t forget the kids!
– Set some time in your schedule for the coming month to go through your house and office to do some cleanup. Get rid of stuff!
– Tell people around you about what you are doing and ask them where they would like to get involved.
– Start today and make one small change right away.

No matter where you go, you need to be an expert at communicating. The words that you say and how you say it are important, as they can be misinterpreted if said in a different tone. So having good communication skill is very important.
Comminication skill is the ability to convey and share information to others in an efficacios way. It is a very vital skill and used widely in all work sectors.
Communication can make or break your relationship at home or work or with your friends. If you have the skill then you can pass out your word across easily and precisely without any confusion. You can communicate with your body, words, gestures, expressions and much more.
Communication is basically an act of interaction and sharing emotions and thoughts with others. It is the best way to receive, provide and exchange information, widely used in the business and professional sector. This is the most sought after trait every employer looks for in a candidate during the hiring process.
In this type of communication, the use of words is done. It is a one to one type of interaction or sometimes more than 2.
In this type of communication, gestures are used to share information like facial expressions, hand gestures, specifically saying body language. The best part about this type of communication is that it speaks in volumes.
This type of communication uses signs, drawing, designs etc to convey and share information with others.
The different forms of communication can be listed as – Listening, reading, speaking and body language.
You need to have the patience and focus to listen and register what your peers are saying.
You need to develop the reading habit to stay up-to-date and improve your vocabulary.
You need to have good speaking skills that will help you to present your ideas in an effective and efficient way.
You need to show good body language and hide your nervousness and show your confidence.
You are confident when you communicate well and know that others have understood what you want.
Good communication leads to high confidence and hence, you perform better at whatever you are doing. If you excel in your communication, you can express yourself better and climb the stairs of success.
It is a known fact that every successful man or woman knows how to communicate in precise and clear manner. Crisp communication is what everyone is looking for, a way to attract and get your work done.
We would surely get bored to death.
Even a thought of such kind is scary, but luckily we all are surrounded by people around us which makes our lives keep going. As humans, we are bound to be social and is the key to make our survival possible and life active.
Now communication is one such important life skill that helps us throughout. The best part is that it is not only limited to any sector but pitches its significance in all parts of life, like personal, professional, business etc.
In fact, a research conducted by Harvard University, the Carnegie Foundation and Stanford Research Center, has stated that 85% of professional success comes if you possess good developed soft skills and people skills, and only 15% of career success comes from technical knowledge and skills (hard skills). So, the way you interact and behave with others plays a crucial role in your success.
When you join a pre-school, it is the teacher who helps you in expressing yourself in front of the class and hence, your first step towards communicating with others.
It is important that the teachers have good communication skills so that their students can follow in their footsteps and become good orators. This is a specialized field and a lot of importance is given when a teacher is hired.
Communication skills are a new subject in schools and professional colleges. It is these teachers who help the student communicate effectively.
A teacher needs to have good listening skills to know where his or her student stands and what is that he or she needs to focus on.
While explaining a topic to a student a teacher needs to be clear and precise. You cannot jumble up the topic, confusing your students as well as yourself making it difficult for the student to grasp what you are saying. You need to adapt the style of the individual student so that you can ensure that every student’s weak area is addressed.
A skilled communicator teacher can turn a boring subject into an interesting one by their good presentation skills.
A good teacher will always show compassion and care towards their students with words or body language. They work with the students to ensure they excel in whatever they do and continuously encourage them to do better.
They get to know the students personally by making sure that they address them by their names. They understand their fear and confusion and are there to counsel them if needed.
They celebrate the success of their students in their own way to let them know that they are proud of them!
An important part of a teacher’s job is to ensure that they have communicated the progress of their kin in writing as well as in meeting.
A parent would always like to hear the truth, but how a teacher says it means a lot. A positive feedback to the parents give them the confidence, to do better but at the same time a negative feedback has to be shared.
The way you share your negative feed is where a teacher’s communication skill gets tested. A complaint should be shared with the respective parent appropriately, on time and should be precise.
Teaching a class is not an individual effort. You need to discuss and find out the best possible ways to teach a topic in an effective way.
A school always encourages the teachers to sit together and devise an appropriate teaching technique by sharing ideas. As a teacher, you need to be aware of the changes in the educational system and attend or conduct seminars to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
You need to listen, read, discuss and come up with excellent teaching techniques to ensure that your school does well.
A student starts learning how to communicate right at home, but learning at school is a different ball game altogether.
At school, the student learns how to address issues of peers and how to respond keeping the others in mind. It is important that a student works towards developing communication skills as it will help them in the long run.
Student life is a foundation and hence, how we communicate in student life will define how we communicate professionally. You need to impart communication through reading, presentation skills, listening, writing and oral communication.
One needs to be a good reader to develop your communication skills. With reading a student can enrich their vocabulary and knowledge. They can communicate in all the topics because of the knowledge base that has been developed with the reading.
Being a reader is a stepping stone to become a good orator in the future. You can read books, newspapers, magazines, anything that you find interesting.
It is important to be a good reader but it is equally important to be a good writer. By good write it does not mean that you can write books and articles on any topic.
A good written communication skills is the one where the words express the right tone and put the idea across effectively. Written communication should not be confusing, it can send out wrong information and cause issues.
A written communication can be used as evidence, and hence it is important that a student knows what to write and how to write effectively.
Many students have issues in presenting their ideas or project. This could be due to stage fear, less confidence, nervousness and any other factor.
It is important that as a student you participate in as many presentational and speech based activity to get the fear out and master the art.
In the near future presentation and speeches will become an integral part of your professional career and you need to be comfortable with it. So, practice as much as you can, on your presentation and speech skills.
You should have the patience and ability to listen to others and register their conversation. Conversation is not just about the ability to speak, it is about the communication ability to listen also.
You can be a good orator only when you listen to your audience, understand what they want and prepare accordingly. You need to have the right focus when you are listening. With the focus and concentration, you can remember your conversation and take notes from it.
As a student, you should not fear away or run away from conversation. Be it a school activity or just a group of friends; put your ideas across with no fear. The more you step back, the more issues you will have in future to express yourself.
Participate in group discussion, interact more with students and be a part of a community where you can discuss every topic and improve your intellectual level. Keep communicating effectively in all the forms till you master the art!
As you pass out from your college and it is time to get professional, the above communication skills will help in creating skills in your professional life.
The professional world is all about good and effective communication in the form of writing, listening and speaking. If you have clear and crisp communication with your co-workers and your superior, then you can get your work done in a better way.
It promotes consistency, effectiveness, commitment towards your work. You can attend workshops that can help you to brush up or develop professional communication skills.
You cannot tell stories in your workplace because of the busy work schedule that one has. Your communication has to be brief, concise, to-the point. It has been of fewer words but more data.
It all depends on how you can organize your thoughts and present it on paper or presentation. You have to be clear on what you want to convey in your conversation or communication and stick to that.
Drafting a professional email or text message can make or break your communication channel. There are a lot of mistakes one can do, which can lead to confusion and miss-understanding.
If you have an urgent request and are running out of time, then you need to follow up on your communication with a phone call. If you are unhappy with the email or text received, it is not good etiquette to call up the concerned person and have a personal meeting.
Before you send out any communication you need to review it for grammatical mistakes, tone the data to ensure that your intention is clear.
Be it a normal verbal conversation or within a meeting, body language can express a lot without you saying a word. Body language includes facial expressions, eye movements, hand gestures, posture; speak out on what you are feeling.
Nervousness is likely to be identified on the basis of how you are reacting with your body. There are many sessions that are held to improve body language and show confidence.
As you grow higher in your organization, your body language should be strong and communicate strength of a leader.
Before you criticize your team members, you need to be careful on the words you choose. You should not get personal while talking and keep the communication strictly professional. While receiving feedback do not shut your mind.
Accept your feedback and discuss on how and where you should improve communication skills. Always take negative feedback as a push to do better and not a personal rivalry.
If you are sending out important work related emails then make sure you add weight to your content by conducting a face to face meeting. Visuals get registered better than words.
You can get instant feedbacks and updates before receiving any further written communication. There is a need to appreciate the work that your subordinates do to ensure the success of your project. These face to face meetings ensure that you and your team are on the same page and share a good relationship.
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines communication as the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviours to express or exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to others.
Though communication is of different types, proper usage of it plays an important role. Also, communication skills are a little more polished version of the communication concept.
To become a professional, you need to be well versed with good communication skills and also in other skills too. Now if you are the one struggling hard to communicate properly, then here are few effective communication strategies that you need to follow.
Communication in all forms and in phases of life define who you are. It is a continuous process of learning and mastering a skill. You should learn from your previous mistakes, keep a note on what you have done wrong and how you can correct it. Do not take communication of any form lightly as it will hamper your future. It is important to learn the communication skill so that you can express effectively and efficiently.

Driving in snow is a part of life in Southern New England. The best approach is to prepare your car for winter travel and plan ahead in your personal schedule for extra travel time during storms. It's best to avoid any unnecessary travel, especially when snowfall rates are predicted to be the heaviest.
Each fall you should inspect your car or truck or have a mechanic review it to ensure you are ready for winter driving conditions. Even during the course of the winter it's important to keep an eye on key systems that could hinder your vehicle's traction, ability to brake and ability to run well in the cold. High on your checklist should be tires, anti-freeze, battery, brakes, heater, exhaust system and lights. And always top off your gas tank before the storm hits.
Making safety the highest priority should be the most important thing when driving - even more so during inclement weather. Reduced traction, increased stopping distance and poor viability require our full attention behind the wheel. Don't forget to buckle up before you begin your trip, and put your phone away to avoid distraction from calls or texts.
Driving with reduced speed is one of the most important things you can do when snow's on the ground. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security with the technology in today's cars. Four-wheel drive, anti-lock brakes and traction control certainly help, but only to a point. They can't take the place of good driving habits and the need to reduce speed when roads are slippery.
At the start of the storm - Not all roads my be treated yet.
During very heavy snowfall - Snowfall rates exceeding an inch an hour will lead to accumulation on the road in between passes of the plow.
During peak travel periods - Storms hitting morning and evening rush hours are a recipe for congestion and delay. Even secondary roads can experience unusually long backups as people seek alternate routes to car-clogged highways.
During changing weather conditions - Changes from rain to snow or vice versa can create special hazards including black ice, localized flooding or downed limbs or power lines from heavy snow or accumulated ice.
After a storm, when temperatures drop below freezing - Black ice often develops in the evening following a storm due to snow melt washing off residual salt on pavement and re-freezing.
RIDOT takes every effort to alert motorists to changing conditions. Before you leave, review the travel planning resources on this website or check our Facebook or Twitter pages, which may have more current announcements. When on the road, look to our electronic message boards or Highway Advisory Radio system (1630 AM) for vital travel information.
After the storm, clear all snow and ice from your windows, hood, roof and trunk of your vehicle. This is especially important for drivers of box trucks, tractor-trailers and other large vehicles. A sudden release of snow or ice on the highway can create hazardous driving conditions, cause a crash or damage a vehicle behind you. Clearing ice and snow from your vehicle is not only a good idea, it's a law.
Snow removal equipment is big and heavy and our drivers are very focused on effectively clearing the roads. Remember to not "crowd the plow" and give these trucks plenty of room.
The best place to be during a storm is behind a plow truck. Drivers should stay at least five car lengths behind to give them ample room to operate. Do not pass, especially on the right where large amounts of snow are kicked up by plows.
Walking from your car in a storm is very dangerous. You can lose your way, wander out of reach and/or become exhausted. Your vehicle is your best shelter.
It's better to be chilly and awake than to be comfortably warm and be overcome with carbon monoxide fumes. Keep your exhaust pipe free of snow and run your engine only for short periods of time, leaving a window away from the wind slightly open.
Loosen tight clothing and change positions frequently. Move your arms and legs, massage fingers and toes; tuck your hands between your legs or under your armpits. Huddle together with others to share body heat. Elevate your feet to improve circulation.
Whether you are calling emergency services or a roadside assistance company, be prepared to describe your location, the condition of those in the car and what happened.

Valtteri Bottas believes that the return of Robert Kubica to Formula 1 could catalyse a new era of positivity for Williams, and hopes his old team can be rejuvenated by their new driving line-up after another dismal campaign in 2018 in which they finished last.
Eight years ago, Kubica's promising Formula 1 career was halted when he lost part of his forearm in a rally car accident, with over a dozen reconstructive surgeries required to save the limb.
Since then, he has been working towards a miracle recovery to get back behind the wheel in F1, and his wish was granted over the winter when he was announced as a Williams driver for 2019 alongside rookie George Russell.
Bottas, who performed for Williams for three years between 2013 and 2016, is hopeful that Kubica coming back can create a better atmosphere within the team.
“For Robert it will be nice to see how it goes,” Bottas said.
“He’s been out of racing for a while, so it will be nice to see how he compares to George Russell.

Real quick, LIIFT 4 is an 8 week program from Beachbody to build muscle and burn fat. The workouts are four days a week with each workout being 30-40 minutes. The workouts consist of weight training (my favorite) and HIIT.
With this program, a specific nutrition plan is recommended. If you are looking to build serious muscle (like me!) it is recommended you bump up two plans which is what I have done. Plan C Meal Plan consists of: 5 Veggies, 3 Fruits, 5 Proteins, 4 Carbs, 1 Healthy Fats, 1 Seeds & Dressings, 5 Oils & Nut Butters (tsp).
The easiest way for me to follow is to meal prep every few days. For example, I will boil a bunch of chicken, cook a bunch of ground chicken, make a pot of brown rice, bake potatoes and veggies, etc. This will make sticking with the meal plan MUCH easier...you won't have any excuses.
You can snag the colored containers for a great price on Amazon Prime . You also get some additional goodies as well from Efficient Nutrition . The great thing about them too is that they are BPA free!
Disclosure: This post may contain Amazon affiliate links that earn me a small commission, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products I personally use and love, or think my readers will find useful.
What a clean diet Cami. Good for you.
Thanks Ryan! Some days are tough but my body always thanks me for it!

Scratching, for cats is a very natural, instinctual behavior that serves several important purposes. Cats scratch in order to mark territory with their kitty scent and shed old cuticle tissue from their claws.
Many people opt to declaw their cats because the animals are inside cats – they would never, ever let their beloved kitty outside to fend for himself. But even inside cats can slip past your ankles when you’re paying the pizza guy and dart off. Your inside cat may one day have to protect himself from some very formidable outdoor predators. Coyotes, raccoons, dogs, and other cats can be real threats to any feline; a cat with no claws is a much easier target.
Scratching just plain feels good for cats. According to the AVMA, when a cat extends her claws, she is stretching the muscles in her limbs and back, a motion that is therapeutic and relaxing for kitty. The bottom line: a cat scratches because it is enjoyable.
The first thing that you should keep in mind is your cat is always going to want to scratch. Your goal, then, should be to redirect your kitty’s behavior to something more acceptable than your favorite chair.

A single-storey extension is a simple way to expand your home. Follow our advice to keep the project stress free.
It’s not surprising that single-storey rear extensions are a popular way to add space and value to a home. Not only do they save you from moving house, but they also avoid some of the dramas that more extensive builds involve.
However, just because they’re simple doesn’t mean they’re always plain sailing. There are some legal steps you need to follow, and despite their size, single-storey extensions can still be stressful to manage and prone to costly errors. Read on for our tips on navigating the obstacles and keeping your building project stress-free.
Want a side return extension instead? We answer some common questions about this kind of project.
This generous rear extension has made space for an open-plan kitchen and living room. Sliding doors from Express Bi-folding Doors establish a seamless connection with the garden. For more ways to create an indoor-outdoor kitchen, click here.
Some single-storey rear extensions are considered permitted development (PD). This means they’re seen as relatively minor renovations that are automatically granted planning permission.
However, be aware that local authorities have the power to remove or restrict PD rights. There are also different permitted development laws in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You’ll therefore need to check how local and national legislation will affect your plans before you start.
If you want to make sure that your proposed work doesn’t need planning permission, you can apply for a lawful development certificate (LDC). This isn’t compulsory, but it’ll help when you come to sell your property as it’ll show that the building work you’ve done is all above board. Apply to your local council for an LDC.
Does my home qualify for permitted development rights?
If you live in a ground-floor flat or maisonette, the answer’s simple: no – these kinds of properties don’t have PD rights. If you live in a house, your PD rights will be restricted if it’s in a conservation area, national park or area of outstanding natural beauty, or if it’s listed.
Even if your extension qualifies as permitted development, it’ll still need to meet some conditions. For example, it mustn’t cover more than 50 per cent of the total area of land around the original house, and it can’t be more than four metres high.
In addition, a single-storey rear extension mustn’t extend beyond the rear wall of the original house (as it was first built) by more than three metres (if it’s an attached house) or by four metres (if it’s a detached house). These limits have been extended to six metres and eight metres respectively until May 2019.
The most common mistake when planning a rear extension is not having everything planned before work commences. “Introducing your builder and kitchen designer at the earliest opportunity is key to a successful outcome,” says Daniele Brutto of Hub Kitchens.
If you want to expand more than six metres (for an attached house) or eight metres (for a detached house), you’ll need to notify the local authority. The planning team there will let your neighbours know about your proposed development and consult them on their views on it.
In simple terms, as long as none of your neighbours object to the extension, then it can continue as a permitted development. If any of your neighbours object, you’ll need to seek planning permission.
I need planning permission – what now?
You’ll need to make a planning application if the work you want to do isn’t covered by PD. An optional first step is to ask your local authority for pre-application advice. This will help you work out if your plans have a chance of success.
Once you’ve submitted drawings and written documents outlining your intentions, you’ll get non-binding feedback from your local authority. This will give you a good indication of your scheme’s chances of success and whether you’ll need to amend it before you submit it.
Some authorities charge for pre-application advice (between £100 and £200); others offer it free.
Commonly seen on rear extensions, bi-fold doors create a completely unrestricted and seamless connection between the inside and out. Available at Express Bi-folding Doors.
Who can help with the planning permission process?
If you’re considering a rear extension that needs planning permission, think about using the services of an architect or architectural designer. They’ll not only have a good idea of what’s achievable in your area, but can also draw up the plans you’ll need to use to apply for permission.
An architect can also handle the planning process on your behalf. They’ll either do this as part of their package or for an additional fee.
Read our practical guide to working out when you need planning permission, how to navigate the process and what to do if your application fails.
Does my rear extension need building regulations approval?
Building regulations approval is different from planning permission – it ensures your proposed rear extension complies with building regulations. As the owner of the property, you’re ultimately responsible for making sure it’s compliant.
The first step happens before work begins: you’ll need to decide whether to submit a building notice or make a full plans building regulations application.
If your extension is relatively small, a building notice application could be the solution, as it doesn’t need pre-approved plans. Building can therefore get underway quickly and a building control inspector will approve the works as they’re carried out.
If you decide to submit a building notice, you need to be sure that work meets building regulations. If it doesn’t comply when it’s inspected, you’ll need to make amendments. That will mean extra costs.
The good news is that you can avoid this by using an experience builder who can make sure the plans meet all the relevant regulations. Alternatively, you can go the full plans route – we’ll look at this next.
How do I make a full plans application?
Although less risky, a full plans application needs more prep work. To start, you’ll have to submit all drawings and specifications well in advance of when work is due to start on site. These are checked, and, if they conform to the regulations, they’re approved by the building control inspector. If the plans don’t conform, you may be asked to make amendments or provide more details.
The advantage of a full plans application is that problems are addressed before work starts, which avoids costly delays. Plus, the approved drawings will show everything the builder needs to know to provide a fixed quotation, which will help you manage costs.
If you simply need extra space and enjoy the open-plan living lifestyle, extending will always offer more scope for design and extended living spaces. “Clients need to think about their lifestyle and be honest with themselves about what they like and what suits them best,” says Daniele Brutto, Hub Kitchens.
Where can I find a building control inspector?
If you’ve chosen to submit a building notice application, you’ll need to get your works checked by a building control inspector. You can find one via your local authority or from a government-approved private building inspection company. In either case, they’ll visit at key stages of the build and check foundations, ground and floors, damp proofing, roof structure, drainage, structural beams and openings, fire proofing and thermal insulation.
Once the work’s complete and your inspector is happy it meets building regulations, he or she will issue you with a completion certificate free of charge. Make sure you keep it: it’ll be important when you come to sell your home.
Where can I get expert help for my project?
When it comes to adding a rear extension to your home, it’s always worth taking the time to find the right people to work with to avoid stress, delays and costly mistakes. That includes finding a good builder and perhaps a project manager.
Start with some online research and by asking friends and neighbours for recommendations. Ask for references from builders and project managers who seem right for your plans, and always follow them up. Ideally, check out projects they’ve worked on too.
Official bodies are a great place to start your research. For example, a good builder can be found through the Federation of Master Builder, TrustMark or Checkatrade.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg made his city the world leader in the fight to defend against climate change and reduce carbon emissions.
This book, just released, tells the story.
It is being published as a multi-media e-book on ICN Books brand new app, and serialized in installments starting today oninsideclimatenews.org.
Experts say New York’s accomplishments rank among the most comprehensive of any of the world’s leading cities, despite rarely capturing the attention of the public during the mayor’s tenure or earning mention in media assessments as the mayor prepares to leave office.
Bloomberg’s PlaNYC has decades of implementation ahead – if it continues – but already it has reduced energy use in large buildings and improved air quality, re-imagined and reconstituted the urban landscape, and set the city on a trajectory to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 30% by 2030 below 2005 levels.
The 10-chapter multimedia ebook, released via a new multi-media ICN Books app, is based on extensive interviews with the mayor and key players on his team.
InsideClimate News is a Pulitzer Prize-winning, non-profit, non-partisan news organization that covers clean energy, carbon energy, nuclear energy and environmental science — and the territory in between where law, policy and public opinion are shaped. Its mission is to produce clear, objective stories that gives the public and decision-makers the information they need to navigate the heat and emotion of climate and energy debates shaping our world for generations to come.
Michael Bloomberg’s record as one of New York City’s longest serving mayors has been analyzed to the point of exhaustion. His ban of oversized soft drinks, his calorie counts on restaurant menus, his police department’s stop-and-frisk policy, his obsession with data, even his penchant for loafers—it has all been dissected and then dissected again.
Rarely mentioned, however, is Bloomberg’s dogged effort to reduce New York’s greenhouse gas emissions and to protect the city and its 8.4 million residents from the perils of climate change. Climate experts around the world say the plans created under his leadership are a model for other cities. But most Americans, including New Yorkers, know little or nothing about his record in this area.
An undertaking as complex as preparing a city for the challenges of climate change is much harder to grasp than, say, building a park or a bridge or banning giant cups of cola. It means laying plans for projects that are invisible to the naked eye, like reducing air pollution, and may not be completed for years or even decades.
Their effort is important for two reasons. First, it gives New Yorkers a clear picture of the groundwork that has been laid to ensure their city’s future, so they can demand that successive mayors continue or improve on Bloomberg’s work. Second, it offers politicians in other cities a roadmap for creating their own sustainability and climate change plans. Other U.S. cities have begun grappling with the prospect of climate change, but New York is certainly the biggest and most rambunctious to have done so on such an ambitious scale.
Andy Darrell, an Environmental Defense Fund leader who sat on an advisory committee that was key to the process, still marvels at how so many disparate groups came together to work on the plans.
In an interview for this book, Bloomberg downplayed his achievements. He pointed out that his wasn’t the first New York administration to take on environmental issues and that it was his staff that did the real work.
And he is right. Bloomberg didn’t come up with the specific ideas or do the mathematical equations or hammer out the fine details. What he did do, however, was make clear to his staff, to city officials and to the private sector that this was going to happen—that New York was going to have a clear and unified vision for dealing with climate change.
This is Bloomberg’s hidden legacy—a legacy that may be fully appreciated only by generations yet to be born.

text: Generosity makes people happy. It is something we have all tasted. There is a powerful feeling that washes over us when we give selflessly. While we should not disparage the genuine giving of our non-Christian friends, as followers of Jesus we have the opportunity in our generosity to be doubly happy. Our generosity connects us uniquely to God, and it is safely stored away and carefully guarded until the age to come. Embracing those truths ought to impel us to treat generosity not as an exceptional event but as a daily habit.

Happy Friday! I love reading about what my favorite bloggers do in their lives off the screen. Prep In Your Step publishes a weekly recap of her week. I love the idea and couldn't help but make it a weekly tradition.
This week was crazy busy. I was constantly in the car trying to get to all the things I had to get done. I'm relieved to see the weekend coming near as this week has flown by. I'm excited for the weekend as I have 2 dances. Hopefully, next week isn't as crazy as this week was.
Over the weekend, I had Kallah for BBYO. I got to room with 2 of my good friends from my Chapter. It was great to take on the small, hotel convention with them. The intimate size of the convention allowed me to meet some new people.
Kallah is all about Judaism. The whole weekend was centered around exploring our personal Judaism. The convention's theme was Hineni - here I am. Overall, the convention allowed me to think deeply about Judaism in ways I hadn't thought before.
On Saturday night, we had a dance. Nobody gets dressed up, everybody wears a t-shirt and shorts. I decided to go all out for the Israel theme. I felt like a barber spinning pole in my blue and white striped tights. The Hannukah shirt is hilarious to me.
This week has been Homecoming week. My friend, Catie, and I came up with our outfits a few weeks ago. Our outfits are totally excessive and amazing in every way possible. I plan on doing a more in depth Homecoming week outfits post next week. The themes were twin day, decades day, superhero day, America day, and T day.
I started being on a leadership committee this week. Looking over the calendar of all the events for the year got me so excited. We have our first event in a month. It'll be exciting to get to experience an event from the behind the scenes perspective. I know a few people on the committee, but not a lot, so I'm excited to get meet more people.
To add to the excitement, I began tech crew. I cleaned up the scene shop along with a few other newbies. So far, tech crew seems like it'll be fun. The current tech crew is in the middle of a show, so we start doing actual tech crew activities next week. I'm going to have to work on balancing my schedule in order to do everything I need to get done.
Hopefully next week is as fun as this week.

This groundbreaking anthology of short fiction by Latino mystery writers, Hit List: The Best of Latino Mystery, features an intriguing and unpredictable cast of sleuths, murderers and crime victims. Reflecting the authors’—and society’s—preoccupation with identity, self, and territory, the stories run the gamut of the mystery genre, from traditional to noir, from the private investigator to the police procedural, and even a “chick lit” mystery.
“The Right Profile” features a Miami private investigator who goes undercover to prove a deadbeat father can pay child support, and she delights in testifying against him in court. In “The Skull of Pancho Villa,” someone has stolen the family heirloom and it’s up to Gus Corral to get it back. And in “A New York Chicano,” a successful bachelor from El Paso—a graduate of NYU working for Merrill Lynch in Manhattan—gets his revenge against a xenophobic newscaster.

The Internet is overcrowded with various posts, but there are some that stand out, offering a new approach to traditional things or creating a completely new niche.

You can start exploring unusual and unique blogs by women with the examples we’ve provided. Solo travels, gaming innovations, amateur boxing, or ancient literature: there are dozens of noteworthy websites on any imaginable topic.

Thyroid is a hormone secreting gland located just below the collarbone. It is an endocrinal gland and resembles the shape of a butterfly. Thyroid gland controls overall metabolism of the human body and regulates calorie burning mechanism and heart beat rhythm. Moreover thyroid gland also controls the growth and development of human body.
Many people naturally develop, inflammatory issues known as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The root cause for such swelling known as autoimmune disease is production of antibodies within the body that conflicts with the own tissues and result in production of specific bacteria that causes the tenderness and sensitivity.
In order to control over secretion of hormones, the disease of Hypothyroidism is treated with anti-thyroid medicines or radioactive iodine doses. It is medically proven, that these medications in turn causes permanent thyroid disease.
Many medicines of many other illness cause thyroid in the body such as lithium. Lithium is given to people with mental disorders but the same has a permanent effect on thyroid glands.
To cure cancer, radiation is inevitable. But this inevitable way of treatment can cause permanent hypothyroidism.
In many cases, children are born with no or immature thyroid gland. In both cases, since childhood, the child faces thyroid issues and his growth and development is affected.
During pregnancy, many women develop hypo or hyper thyroidism. This may lead to pre mature delivery or miscarriage or sudden rise of blood pressure during last trimester. Thyroid may also develop post-delivery; known as post-partum thyroid.
Very rarely a pituitary gland may fail to produce TSH or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone thereby causing disorders.
Iodine is found in seafood, seaweed, iodised salt. Scarcity of iodine in body causes thyroid; as it reduces the production of TSH.
After even a small work, feeling tired, exhausted and lethargic is the primary symptom of thyroid. People suffering from thyroid do not feel like standing up and walking. They become this lazy! However extreme weight gain or weight loss is also indications of thyroid. Overall, one may look and feel old.
The other symptoms of thyroid are; increased sensitivity to cough and cold, constipation, dry skin, face and neck bulge, hoarseness, voice crack, muscle weakness, high cholesterol level, stiffness and aches in muscles and bones, slow heart rate, hair fall, short of memory and severe depression and mood swing. Acute hypothyroidism, medically called myxedema, is very rare but fatal. Indications and symptoms are low blood pressure, breathing difficulties, fall in body temperature, unfeelingness and even coma and prolonged senselessness.
One essential part of curing thyroid is proper diet and well balanced lifestyle. Control of food will essentially lead to cure of thyroid diseases.
Controlled intake of iodine in optimum or prescribed quantity.
Thyroid has limited medicines available. Once started, the medicine is for life long. The best and most optimum ‘nirvana’ is yoga and asanas. Thyroid is controlled if not cured by proper yoga mudra, asanas and meditation techniques. Yoga has no side effects like regular steroids.
The asanas and mudras will cure hypo and hyper thyroidism and will not cause any other disease out of it. Yoga helps to cure it in a natural and most effective way. However yoga will also cure and heal other body systems and result in overall wellbeing of the human body and soul. Since tension and anxiety are considered as one of the imperative reasons for thyroid disorders, regular meditation and chanting of ‘om’ for few minutes help to keep the mind and soul relaxed.
Yoga Nidra (Corpse Pose) is highly effective in both hypo and hyperthyroidism in cutting down anxiety and cooling down. For hyperthyroidism people may suffer from sleeping irregularities. Here yoga nidra can work wonders like a power nap during day time so that the body gets adequate peace while resting.
Different Asanas for Thyroid disorder are; Sarvangasana, Matsyasana, Hala Ugrasana, Dhanurasana, Ustharasana, Veerasana, Trikonasana, Simhasana and Bhunjangasana. Among these, Sarvangasana is most popular and effective in controlling thyroid as the asana helps to regulate blood circulation of the body and ejecting out deposited secretions.
Matsyasana, Ustharasana and Bhunjangasana are postures like bending the back which stimulates the thyroid gland optimally. Shirsasana regulates pituitary gland and results in active secretion of TRH and TSH. Bhramri pranayama also helps in accurate functioning of thyroid gland.
The yoga mudra for remedial purpose of thyroid are viaprita karani mudra, simha mudra, yoga mudra, jalandhara and uddiyana bandha. Viaprita karani mudra helps in flexible blood flow which helps in proper functioning of pituitary and thyroid gland in producing hormones for body metabolism. The Bandhas results in pranic flow towards the throat.
Following the Ling Mudra and Pran Mudra is very essential in curing thyroid disorders. By joining the tips of ring finger and little finger with the tip of the thumb, this PRAN MUDRA is created which supports in enhancing body vitality. Ling mudra helps in stabilising body thermal condition.

I had shown you some great prints I had purchased for the basement from Etsy shop, Margin. I wanted to showcase them in frames that would not take away from the colors or patterns; ones that appeared lightweight and modern at the same time while being unobtrusive.
I have them up on the walls in the frames I found last year.
I found these acrylic frames at Muji. They come with wire for hanging in either landscape or portrait position. I bought four of the 10.6" x 14.2" (outer dimensions) Inner dimensions (from the metal bolts) - 8.3" x 11.7" which fit the 8 x 11 prints perfectly.
But as you can see, the wire is not the best for hanging. It is tough to hide and looks untidy.
I am planning on using hemp instead.
But for now, here are the four prints along the stripes I had painted on the wall.
I am happy with these frames. They showcase the prints beautifully. Excuse the angle of the pictures. I was trying my best not to get any reflections off the acrylic frames.
I have had a couple of weeks to sort of recharge - more like catching up on paperwork, studying and other routine work after visiting family departed from NY. I have also been trying to get the kids' school supplies bought and sorted before the buying frenzy really being in August. We go back to school in early September but I feel more organized to get it out of the way once we have the lists in hand.
On another note, I need a new camera. I had been looking for one for a while and have found one but have not bought it yet. And on our road trip, while taking pictures inside the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C., I dropped the point-and-shoot I have used for years. The zoom function is stuck. For now I am relying on my iPhone to take pictures like those above.

Automatic electric powered gates are built from numerous components, supplied by many different companies both within the UK and abroad. For clarify and identify of the many thousands of potential parts each system’s description is classified into the following main headings: civil and building works; physical element (gates, support post & furniture); operators, motors & controller; command, safety and miscellaneous equipment; communications and surveillance; associated items such as lighting, letterbox etc.
From 2000 all powered gate systems are legally identified as ‘In-Situ machines’ and are governed under the European Machinery Directive. This directive incorporates many British & European Standards that all need adhering too, when designing, installing, maintaining and repairing any installation.
Since 2006 more and more serious incidents involving powered gates have resulted in tragic legal convictions with more people caught up, putting them as well as our industry in jeopardy.
Only consumable type products should be available on-line and it is our recommendation that all other items are discouraged from unauthorised, untrained personnel. It is strongly recommended that only qualified engineers with adequate experience are used on any work required.
The position we take is for owner protection as much as good practice, with owners having a legal responsibility to ensure their in-situ machine (gate system) continues to be safe and they can prove it has been maintained by competent, qualified engineers.

If you have been arrested in North Carolina for driving while impaired (DWI) – often called driving under the influence (DUI) or drunk driving – you face severe penalties that could have a long-lasting impact on your life, especially if you have any prior DWI / DUI convictions. You can go to jail, pay heavy fines, lose your license and see your insurance premiums skyrocket.
The experienced Johnston County DWI / DUI defense attorneys at Reece & Reece, Attorneys at Law, understand the serious consequences of an impaired driving charge. We can explore your legal options and work hard to find the best solution for you, such as negotiating a plea bargain or fighting your drunk driving charge in court.
Smithfield, Benson and Clayton. We can provide you with a free case evaluation. Call us today at (919) 300-1249 or use our convenient online form.
With any amount of a controlled substance in your blood or urine, such as LSD, cocaine, marijuana or methamphetamine.
A DWI / DUI is a misdemeanor with five different levels of punishment, ranging from Level Five (60-day maximum jail sentence and $200 maximum fine) to Level One (maximum jail sentence of two years and a $4,000 maximum fine). The level depends on certain aggravating and mitigating factors, including the amount of alcohol in your system at the time of arrest, whether the impairing drug was a lawfully prescribed medication or whether you caused an accident.
Habitual impaired driving: This offense applies if you have three or more impaired driving offenses within 10 years of your conviction and is a Class F felony charge that carries a minimum of 12 months in prison.
Zero Tolerance: This offense applies if you are under 21 years old and have any amount of drugs or alcohol in your system while driving. This is a Class 2 misdemeanor.
The experienced criminal defense attorneys at Reece & Reece, Attorneys at Law, can challenge the evidence in your case, including the results of a breath test (North Carolina use a breath-testing device called an Intoxilyzer 5000) or a standardized field sobriety test. We can also challenge whether the officer’s stop of your vehicle was justified.
If you are convicted, our criminal defense lawyers can seek alternatives to fines and prison time, such as probation, community service or inpatient treatment for a drug or alcohol addiction. We will work hard to protect your rights and explore all possible legal options.
License revocation: If you are convicted of DWI / DUI in North Carolina, you will have your license revoked for at least one year. If you are a first-time offender who submits to a substance abuse assessment, you may be able to obtain a limited driving privilege (LDP). Our DWI / DUI defense attorneys can assist you in obtaining an LDP and help you eventually get your driver’s license reinstated. However, if you are convicted of habitual impaired driving, your license will be permanently revoked. T Also, if you refuse to submit to a chemical test at the time of arrest, your license can be suspended or revoked. This is known as an “implied consent” offense.
Vehicle forfeiture: The motor vehicle of a person convicted of DWI / DUI can be seized and sold at auction by the state. We can represent you in “hardship hearings” to challenge the forfeiture of your vehicle.
Ignition Interlock Device: As an alternative to losing your license, we may be able to secure restricted driving privileges for you. Under certain circumstances, you may be able to drive if an ignition interlock device is installed in your car. This device prevents your car from operating if you fail a breath test.
The hard-working, skilled and experienced Johnston County DWI / DUI defense lawyers at Reece & Reece, Attorneys at Law, are dedicated to protecting the rights and interests of drivers who have been charged with impaired driving.
We have a record of helping clients with impaired driving charges throughout Johnston County, including Smithfield, Benson and Clayton, Selma, Archer Lodge, Kenly, Four Oaks, Pine Level, Princeton, Wilson’s Mill and Micro. We also assist out-of-state drivers who have been charged with drunk driving while in Johnston County.

When considering a bodybuilding diet, individuals have many different elements to consider at different stages of the bodybuilding process. For instance, right before the competition, the individual will want to get as lean as possible, which means losing whatever excess fat possible in the week before the competition. At other times, however, the individual wants to rapidly gain muscle which requires a different diet which is higher in calories and also protein for building the muscle and putting on bulk. Natural bodybuilding supplements should be used throughout the bodybuilding process to help the body remain strong and healthy so the individual has the best results possible.
Individuals who are into bodybuilding should definitely keep a certain amount of natural bodybuilding supplements in their diet. There are multiple vitamin formulas that help the body to digest the nutrition contained in the athlete’s diet so that he or she maintains the proper hormone levels, healthy tissues and maintains the energy he or she needs to work out and compete. These vitamins can be found in two different forms which are both important to the body when used in the proper amounts. There are fat soluble vitamins that get stored in the fat of the body. These vitamins are A, E, and D, versus the water soluble vitamins such as B-Complex and C which are not stored in the fat.
There are also mineral formulas that are essential for a natural bodybuilding supplement. These formulas are made up of bulk minerals and also trace minerals, which mean exactly as they sound, with bulk minerals being what the body needs in large amounts and trace minerals being what the body needs in very small amounts. These minerals help the body stay balanced as far as the signals that are sent from the brain to the body and vice versa. In addition they help to balance the fluids in the body and help with muscle contractions and energy levels. They can also help with building bones and muscles as a natural bodybuilding supplement.
In addition to these basics, there are also natural bodybuilding supplements such as Creatine which bodybuilders sometimes use to help to give them an advantage in the weight lifting competitions. Those that use it claim that it helps them to build muscle more quickly and also helps to give them more energy during and after their workouts. Creatine is a little controversial with some researchers saying that it does not give the same effects to all users.

Buying a new mattress is a big investment, and one that should include plenty of research and comparison to find the right mattress for you. But even after you buy and set up your new bed, keeping your mattress looking and feeling like new requires regular maintenance. Not sure where to start? Check out these 4 easy tips for taking care of your mattress.
Invest in the right bed frame and foundation.
When buying a memory foam or latex mattress, it is important to purchase the right foundation and bed frame. This ensures the longevity of the mattress and that experience all the support and comfort benefits of your new bed. We recommend a solid wood or metal foundation, a box foundation, a slatted wood frame or a sturdy platform.
Invest in a mattress protector or mattress encasement.
By using a quality mattress protector or mattress encasement, you can ensure your mattress lasts longer. Mattress protectors decrease the wear of fabric, prevent liquid spills from damaging the materials, and keep your mattress clean and dust-mite free.
When moving your mattress, do so in a way that doesn’t damage the top layers.
Take care when handling the topper material inside the mattress. This is especially true of beds that have a smooth top layer or a removable topper. When you move your bed, grasp the top and bottom of the mattress rather than pulling on the top layer. Better yet, use the handles on the side border of the mattress if your mattress has them.
When setting up or cleaning your mattress, give it plenty of ventilation.
When you set up your new mattress—or clean your foam or hybrid mattress—keep in mind that the materials inside your bed need proper ventilation. Moisture trapped in the layers of your mattress can damage it over time, so if you do spot clean your mattress, keep the doors and windows open to allow it to dry out completely.

The fascinating story behind the machines that trade trillions of dollars every day... In 1968, Michael Goodkin is about to graduate from Columbia University. While his classmates interview for jobs, he daydreams of seeing the world as a man of independent means. Noticing that there are no computers on Wall Street and drawing on his experiences as a failed teenage investor and successful gambler, he has an epiphany: Since no one knows the right price for anything, the only way to beat the market is to make a computer that comes up with the wrong answer faster than the professionals.
And thus begins a journey that takes this provincial Midwesterner from nearly broke to opulent Park Avenue. The Wrong Answer Faster is the story of unintended consequences: how a technique originally created to minimize market risk spiraled into a multi-trillion dollar game with unparalleled risks.
Having founded and sold a firm that changed the world, Goodkin left New York to travel and play backgammon only to return to found another groundbreaking firm, Numerix, a software company that substituted computational physics for econometrics to better manage derivative risk.
This is the story of the computerization of Wall Street by the man at the helm. Packed with keen insights, based almost entirely on poker, backgammon, and game theory, Goodkin's unique insight to the markets is that everyone has the wrong answers. The solution is not to try to beat the market but to come up with the wrong answers faster.
The epic tale of the untold story how one man with a great idea decided not to play the market but to revolutionize the financial world for generations to come by creating the most groundbreaking tool for market players since the ticker tape.

25 year old battling hair loss but still with hair!
Thread: 25 year old battling hair loss but still with hair!
Hey everyone how’s it going, I’ve been battling hair loss since 20ish. I started using Rogaine at 21, and tried many other natural things to combat hair loss. I’ve always had dandruff issues, it’s gotten better over the years but recently I cut down to once a day Rogaine (thoughts?). I went to one of the top hair transplant specialist, and he suggested I wasn’t ready for a hair transplant just yet. Instead to try out finistrided .5mg daily and if I wanted get a refurbished Igrow.
Are you open to trying a CBD shampoo? We are currently developing one, so far the data looks promising....either way good luck.
Your regime sounds good. Strong plan.
What did your doctor say about the iGrow and LLLT in general, is he a believer?
I recently bought an iGrow, been using it for 2 weeks, it's quite painful on the head actually. But no real problems with it overall.
Considering buying and trying out RU58841. Or 'making' topical finasteride.
Add minoxidil and dut .5 mg if you want to hold your hair little longer.
Yeah the doctor told me the igrow helps strength the hair and maybe even regrow. (There was no reasoning to lie since his office doesn’t sell it) keep me updated on the results. What does nizoral do? And yeah I quit finistride after 3 days, I got paranoid and didn’t want to take the chance.
I do, I use minoxidil once a day now. Since I’ve been on it for a couple years now. And what’s dut?
What have your results been like using Minoxidil? Does the effectiveness wear off after a few years?
I started using 5% minoxidil but got chest pain after a few weeks. This was a bummer as it's a rare side-effect. Might consider switching to the 2% and being a woman for a while. hahaha!
I just started RU, idk how I feel about it yet. I see little baby hairs but have more hairloss. Have you started anything new?
Hair loss for 17 year old me !!!!

The 2003 Hong Kong Derby winner Elegant Fashion has died at Cambridge Stud in New Zealand at the age of 20.
Elegant Fashion carried the colours of long-time owner and breeder Dr and Mrs Gene Tsoi Wai Wang with distinction at the top level of HK racing and passed away at her retirement home on Friday morning.
Imported by Dr Tsoi and trained by former Hong Kong handler David Hayes, Elegant Fashion won four races and placed 12 times in 26 starts during her racing career in Hong Kong between 2003 and 2005.
Those four wins included that famous Derby victory in 2003, when she justified favouritism to become the first filly to land the Classic since Corvette in 1976, but she also tasted big-race success in the 2003 International Cup Trial and the 2004 Chairman’s Trophy.
Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, CEO of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, also paid tribute to Elegant Fashion and said: “It was very sad to hear of the passing of Elegant Fashion, who occupies a special place in Hong Kong racing legend as the first filly to win the Hong Kong Derby since Corvette back in 1976.

Did you find this design on a Forumotion website or a website outside of Forumotion? If this is on an Forumotion forum, can you provide the link so we can take a closer look?

So I want to codes you one by one, firstly how can I sized the banner like forum of the forums?? So like this picture I want to sized banner to same weight with categories column??
Can you provide your Forum URL so we can look at it to assist with the proper codes for the banner resize?
you want also the hover effect? the decription centered also?
