If you are looking for resolutions for 2018, if you are thinking about a way to improve yourself as we rush headlong into a new year, take a moment to think about the conversations you play and repeat in your head.
What do you tell yourself about who you are? What societal influences have you allowed to slip into your sub-conscious and become a part of who you are? In what ways have you lost touch with your true, authentic self?
Flush out all of the negative thoughts that make you feel you are not good enough. Move away from the constant pressure of social media and the “friends” you maintain there. Take some time away from the Internet to meditate and reflect on who you are and who you want to be. Do what’s necessary to find your true, authentic self.
That is where you will find your happiness and your best self this year and in the years to come. Happy New Year!

You know by now just how much I love dairy and the thought that eating my beloved cheese and butter is doing me harm just doesn’t sit well at all. Did you know that studies have shown that eating full-fat diary products is not linked to an increased risk of heart disease or obesity (cue angels singing here) In fact, full-fat dairy from grass fed cows is associated with a decreased risk of heart disease.
Low-fat dairy is more processed than it’s full-fat sister so that alone is a red flag for anyone trying to follow a real food diet, where the less processed the better. Plus the fatty acids in the dairy help us feel more statisfied and send the signal to stop eating, not so the low-fat variety so we can end up consuming more calories overall, leading to weight gain. The fat also carries vitamins A and D so these need to be added back in when the low-fat milk is skimmed. Psychology also kicks in, if I gave you a bowl of icecream and told you it was low fat I am willing to bet you would eat a larger helping than if I told you it was full fat, in which case you would savour and enjoy a smaller portion. Low-fat cheese is pretty tasteless so you need to use more to get any flaovour into the dish.
Taste definitely comes into it and some people simply prefer the taste of low-fat milk in tea or coffee totally fine if that’s your reason but don’t do it bevause you think it’s healthier. I give you full permission to enjoy real butter, full-fat yoghurt and cheese just remember that full-fat dairy is calorie dense so watch your portion sizes.
I love frozen peas, spinach, broad beans and raspberries for their convenience and so I can enjoy them all year round, but is buying fresh nutritionally better?
This can be a tricky one, if you are able to buy your produce directly from the farmer or at a farmers market then fresh is definitely best. However if like most of us your produce comes from a supermarket then consider this. As soon as that head of broccoli or tomato is picked it begins to slowly loose nutrients, it travels sometimes thousands of kilometers then gets stored in a coolroom somewhere before being packed on a truck and sent to the store, where it may sit again for several days on display before you take it home.
Frozen produce on the other hand is flash frozen very shortly after harvesting, hopefully when said product is in season so naturally more nutrient dense, this means more nutrients are retained. There also tends to be less waste with frozen as you can store it longer without it going limp and sad.
Whats the deal with activated nuts?
Most of us had never heard of “activates” nuts prior to Paleo Pete announcing to the world via the SMH that he only ate activated nuts a few years ago.
It’s worth noting that Phytic acid is also an antioxidant and has been linked to reduced risk of colon cancer so it’s not all bad.
Bottom line: Are activate nuts the only way forward – HELL NO!!!!! Yes if you have time or stacks of cash go right ahead and make or buy activated nuts, they are yummy but if you are eating a few nuts here and there as part of a balanced diet, carry on. However, if you follow a raw food or vegan diet and consume high amounts of nuts it may be worth thinking about. Also if you have a compromised gut and digestion is an issue then soaking can make all nuts, seed, legumes and grains easier on your gut.
I reckon we call the “activated” nuts are healthier myth totally BUSTED. What do you think?
So Kale is something of a superstar in the Nutrition world but is it all it’s cracked up to be?
Yes Kale scores really well on the Orac scale, which measures antioxidant capacity, it also has good levels of Vitamins A, C, and K and plenty of fibre (it’s a tough little green). But so do things like watercress, cos lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower etc.
Kale is also high in Oxalates, which when consumed in excess can lead to the formation of kidney stones. Beware of the studies around ranking the nutrient density of leafy greens, I got all excited (because kale scores way down the list) but what you need to know is that these studies are comparing the percentage your daily intake of certain nutrients per 100 calories of the green. Kale is, in fact, more calorie dense than other greens so scores less.
My take on this is that there is certainly room in a balanced diet for Kale, but don’t treat it as something more special than it is, and mix your greens up.
I love chia seeds for all their glupy goodness, chia puddings are on high roation here as they are a great way to get in some good fats that feel like a naughty dessert. They certainly tick a lot of boxes nutritionally: they are gluten free, super high in dietary fibre, making it great for healing digestive issues, boast about 20% protein by weight, high in antioxidants (It has four times the ORAC value of blueberries). Chia makes a great egg replacement. Just combine with water to form a gel, and add it to recipes that call for egg. But are they a good source of Omega 3 fats? Not in my opinion as the Omega 3 in Chia is in the ALA format and doesn’t convert efficiently into DHA and EPA. Ideally for any food to be a good source of Omega 3, it should contain all 3 types of like fish. Also, they are fairly high in phytates which can lead to reduced absorption of the other nutrients as the phytate binds to the minerals. It’s also worth noting that most of the information claiming incredible quantities of nutrients is based on 100gm of chia, so you’d have to eat a whole lot to get the benefits. Having said all that I still love a chia pudding.

FALLBROOK (CNS) - An early-morning crash in Fallbrook killed one person and sent three others to the hospital, a California Highway Patrol officer said Sunday.
Officers believe drugs or alcohol may have contributed to the collision.
Just after 1 a.m., a 19-year-old Fallbrook man driving a 1996 Saturn northbound on Mission Road drifted into oncoming traffic and struck a 2007 Ford U-Haul truck head-on, said CHP Officer Mark Latulippe. The crash happened near Quail Knoll Road, south of Fallbrook High School.
The Saturn's driver and its three passengers were all trapped inside the car, Latulippe said.
One of passengers, a 20-year-old woman from Escondido, sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene.
The driver suffered major trauma and a fractured left hand, and was flown to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla. He is expected to survive, Latulippe said.
Officers believe none of the occupants of the Saturn were wearing seatbelts.

I can’t stress enough the importance of having a basement thoroughly inspected. Think about it –a hole dug deep in the ground can easily fill with water. Making sure that you do everything possible to keep the basement dry is crucial to the well-being of your house.
Damp basements can lead to mould growth. Moulds need a variety of conditions in which to grow. They need heat – and there is almost always enough heat in a basement. They need a “food source” which typically in a basement is cellulose such as wood or the paper on drywall. Mould also requires moisture in order to grow – even dampness in the air will suffice. So if you want to reduce mould growth, a dry basement is essential.
What can be done to keep a basement dry?
Good grading is critical. Grading is the ground around the foundation. Good grading is when the ground slopes away from the foundation so that surface water such as rain and melting snow will drain away from the house. As one cannot direct water onto the neighbour’s yard, a swale (ditch) may have to be created so that the water can flow either to the street or into the back yard. Creating positive grading is usually the cheapest and easiest way to help keep a basement dry and mould free.
What other inexpensive things can be done to help keep a basement dry?
Installing a full set of eavestroughing and downspouts is a very effective way to shed water away from the foundation and basement. Today’s eavestroughing can be continuous so that there are no leaky joints. The troughs are solidly secured to the house so that they can survive our winters and the downspouts are large enough to handle large volumes of rain water during a storm. Make sure they are cleaned in the fall and spring to rid debris that will effect proper drainage.
Yes. Most home owners in Ottawa should be running a dehumidifier in the basement set at between 40% and 60% +/- in the summer. Dehumidifiers are mobile and are on wheels (so they rarely come with the house). They go in the basement because moist air is heavy and gravitates to the basement floor. Warm air can contain more moisture than cold air, so the dehumidifier should be run into the autumn, until the temperature goes down and the dehumidifier stops working on its own.
Cracks in the Foundation – should they be repaired?
My rule of thumb is that all cracks in a foundation will eventually leak. This means that all foundation cracks will have to be repaired in order to keep water out of the basement and keep the basement mould-free. Minor cracks can be injected from the inside; larger cracks are usually repaired from the outside of the foundation.
A home inspection provides a great opportunity to learn more about the house or condo you are thinking of buying. Are there any major issues that may not have come up in the purchasing process? For instance, does the property have any significant structural issues? Does it need a new roof? How old is the furnace? Will the house have to be re-wired? When will this work have to be done?

So now Stephen Harper needs the Indians.
It seems everybody does these days — for all the wrong reasons.
According to sources who have seen Harper consultant Doug Eyford’s confidential report, Stephen Harper’s bureaucrats have not done him any favours in moving the Northern Gateway file forward. Eyford told the PM that genuine engagement with First Nations is the only path left. For a variety of reasons, selling the pipeline to First Nations leaders is now an unofficial panic situation.
As things now stand, the odds are against a deal with West Coast bands on the pipeline that is supposed to carry Alberta bitumen through British Columbia and out to Asian markets.
From industry and government’s perspective, time is of the essence. They want a delivery system for Alberta raw oil before other countries with energy for sale put a long-term lock on the markets that are up for grabs, particularly China.
By contrast, First Nations leaders will not be hustled into a quick or unsatisfactory deal. Northern Gateway is a multiple sore spot for them. They feel as though they have been ignored, marginalized and, to a degree, vilified. There was even a pitiful attempt to buy them off — with a 10-per-cent equity position in Northern Gateway. If it were only a matter of numbers, a deal-winning arrangement would be a stake at least three times as large.
But it’s not just dollars. It is a matter of reasonable fears by First Nations leaders about protection of the land and water in the wake of the Harper government’s gutting of environmental regulations in its anti-democratic and notorious omnibus legislation.
It is also a matter of trust: The Harper government doesn’t enjoy much of that in the native community these days. Normally, that wouldn’t bother a government that deals with opposition by taking out a baseball bat and going head-hunting.
But this time bullying and bulldozing can’t bring the First Nations into line. They have the Constitution and scores of court decisions in their favour. This time around, it is the Harper government that will have to compromise — if the First Nations decide to give it the chance.
The truth is, they might not bother.
This time around, it is the Harper government that will have to compromise — if the First Nations decide to give it the chance. The truth is, they might not bother.
Stephen Harper’s trust account is badly overdrawn. Native leaders will not soon forget how the Conservatives blithely walked away from the work-in-progress that was the Kelowna Accord.
Although former prime minister Paul Martin wasn’t around long enough to implement a program that aimed at ending native poverty in a decade, his plan enjoyed wide support and created something even more seductive: a sense of optimism.
Then-Opposition leader Stephen Harper claimed that he supported the plan to end native poverty and the principles of the Kelowna Accord, though he differed on how that should be accomplished.
Put that in the same category with Harper’s promises not to mess with income trusts or the Old Age Supplement. Canada’s First Nations leaders have had their bags packed for that meeting for going on seven years but the invitation, apparently, is still in the mail.
That statement covers more than one million people.
But when Federal Court Judge Michael Phelan ruled in 2013 that Metis and non-status Indians were in fact “Indians” under section of 91/24 of the Constitution, the Prime Minister did not adopt the advice he once gave with such alacrity to the provinces and the territories to discharge their responsibilities. He decided instead to appeal the decision and dispute the ruling that said 600,000 “new” aboriginals came under federal jurisdiction.
It’s the same story on reserves after seven years of Stephen Harper — the water is still poor, the housing Third World and the health outcomes a national scandal. The best Harper could manage during the Idle No More protests aimed at holding Ottawa to its responsibilities was to mock Chief Theresa Spence.
The last blow to the PM’s credibility on the aboriginal street may well be the government’s vaunted native education legislation — a plan AFN Chief Shawn Atleo has already panned because it was conceived, as most of this government’s legislation is, unilaterally.
It is not, in the end, that Stephen Harper has done nothing for Canada’s First Nations. There has been good work on human rights, for example, and real progress on the thorny issue of matrimonial reserve property.
There has also been some progress on First Nation’s governance. But there has been no consistent record of striking the new relationship once promised, and which looked so promising in the lustre surrounding the government’s apology to Canada’s aboriginals for the cultural atrocities of the residential schools.
There are things the federal government could do to help win First Nations’ support for pipeline plans. One is to make the bands in B.C. true stakeholders by recognizing the order of wealth transfer that must take place.
Brian Crowley and Ken Coates of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute came up with some excellent ideas: developing an advanced, evidence-based pipeline and shipping system with input from First Nations and environmental groups; designating the corridor land for pipelines as reserves under the Indian Act, thereby creating another revenue stream for First Nations which could collect taxes; and creating an endowment to cover the cost of oil spills and their clean-up — though no one believes after Exxon Valdez or Deepwater Horizon that any fund could ever hold enough money.
Even under those circumstances, Northern Gateway is still a very tough sell, and not just to First Nations leaders. The majority of people in British Columbia oppose the project. They know that one major spill could wipe out the B.C. coast, because every salmon, halibut, sea lion, gray whale and sea bird goes past the mouth of the Douglas Channel, where hundreds of tankers would be navigating.
But the Conservatives’ push needs to start somewhere and it would probably be a good thing if Stephen Harper opts to meet with Canada’s aboriginals in some place other than court. There will never be progress on this file as long as Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada owns the dubious record of having the biggest legal bills in the federal government.
Trust is earned — not litigated.

This January, our country commemorated the 30th anniversary of the death of Jan Palach. On the 16th of January 1969 at about 2:30pm, Jan Palach, a student at the Philosophical Faculty of Charles University, covered himself with petrol and set himself alight on Wenceslas Square in Prague. Although people tried to extinguish the fire, the young man died a few days later. He left behind him a declaration in which he explained that his self-immolation was a protest against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia.
As is well known, tanks from the Warsaw Pact armies arrived in the country on the 21st of August 1968 to suppress the reform movement and tighten the grip on the Communist regime which had become more relaxed during the universally recognised "Prague Spring."
Jan Palach had hoped to force the public out of a passivity which had gradually overcome it after the defeat of attempts to re-introduce principles of democracy and free press. For an action such as this, he could not choose anything more effective than the drastic gesture of self-immolation. People were appalled. They were shaken and shocked at this incredible act; for many it was incomprehensible. Judging by the letter he left, the conversations he had with doctors and journalists before he died, and from the testimony of his family, friends and professors, it was clear that this was not a gesture undertaken by a psychopath but the premeditated action of a person intent on sacrificing his life in the name of honour, justice and freedom. Jan Palach's funeral became a huge nationwide demonstration and the police, at that time firmly governed by the new company of "orthodox" officials from the Czechoslovak Communist Party, could only look on speechless at the dignified mourning of the silent crowds walking through the streets of Prague behind Palach's coffin.
Palach's protest, at least for a time, did have its effect. People seemed to be ashamed of the lethargy with which they were afflicted; they appeared to straighten their crooked backs and reached deep inside themselves for any remnants of courage to fight back before all resistance was finally quelled by persecution and fear for their existence. Jan Palach's example inspired others, student Jan Zajíc and technician Evzen Plocek. The new, so-called normalisation regime, however, had learned to be more careful and did not allow any more human torches to incite the nation to protest. The remains of Jan Palach, whose grave in a Prague cemetery was visited daily by people bearing flowers, were secretly transferred outside Prague.
Two decades later, in January 1989, what became known as the Palach Week signified a substantial step toward change within the totalitarian regime. Mass protests on Wenceslas Square at the site where Jan Palach had set fire to himself lasted from the 15th to the 19th of January. While, in the press, at that time fully censored, the daily demonstrations were characterised as "a futile attempt at provocation," they in fact required the presence of more than 2,000 policemen and thousands of militiamen. At that time I lived not far from the place where Jan Palach burned himself to death and every day I had to prove to the police cordon around the empty Wenceslas Square that I actually lived there, just so I could get home.
When the thousands of policemen managed to break up the demonstrations, the Politbureau thought they would be able to deal with any similar situation in the future. November 1989 proved that the Communist Party chiefs had underestimated how events would develop. People who came this January to honour the memory of Jan Palach were not disturbed by any disciplinary forces. Flowers were laid by President of the Republic Václav Havel, the Prime Minister and other politicians at the site where Palach had carried out his act of protest. Even so, at that moment, yet another youth demonstration, this time against some of the policies of the new democratic government, was in progress a few hundred metres away.
A number of people were incensed at this defamation of such a significant anniversary, this expression of lost historical memory. It may be, however, that somewhere up in heaven, Jan Palach, seeing these young people who have grown up in a completely different era and have never known subjugation, said to himself that he didn't die in vain. In his integrity and strictness, he probably wouldn't have supported all the ways that this generation chooses to enjoy its freedom. Where the idea of freedom itself is concerned, however, that is another matter altogether.

The Charlotte Observer reported that Piedmont HealthCare has told the patients that unauthorized access was gained to the servers of website hosting company E-dreamz.
The hospital said the access might also have been breached job applicant data on the servers, including Social Security numbers.
Chief Financial Officer Gregory Guin says no hospital computer systems were affected, so no medical information was accessed.
Piedmont HealthCare is providing free identity monitoring and restoration services to patients affected by the breach.
The hospital said it has contacted the FBI, the North Carolina Attorney General's Office and other agencies, as well as credit reporting companies.

Have you ever used a company called ‘OSA Lotteries’?
Because Elaine, a subscriber to my lottery tips newsletter, asked me if they are any good.
Now I know they sell lottery tickets online for lotteries all over the world, and apparently do a lot of postal mailings too.
I Was SHOCKED At The Prices They Charge!
Now Elaine was asking about the massively popular El Gordo Christmas lottery. This is the one that all of Spain go absolutely nuts about – mainly because it has the most ridiculously big prize pool you will have ever seen. I mean, what other lottery in the world has a prize pot of 2.3 BILLION!
The draw date is coming up fast on 22nd December, and tickets supplies are strictly limited for this draw.
So I checked out what OSA Lotteries are charging. And as I said, I was truly shocked. These guys are charging SEVEN TIMES the normal ticket price for their El Gordo lottery groups. No, really! (And their groups are 100 in size – which is too big).
Don’t get me wrong – it’s absolutely fair and necessary to charge extra.
Because there is a lot of admin and other overheads involved in running a lottery group, sourcing the tickets from Spain, checking results, claiming and distributing winnings. Clearly all this costs money.
But then why is it ‘OSA Lotteries’ that the e-Lottery syndicate people can do it all for a lot less than half of what you are charging..?
So what do you think of OSA Lotteries? Have you ever used them? What did they charge, and for how many tickets and what size group?
Hi. About OSA lottery. I have played a few times and never won, except one time. I did get the check for the amount sent to Norway. No problem at all. But yes, the prices are horrible, so I don’t use them any more.
I have used this OSA site for some time. I also was bothered about their steep Prices. So I asked them why!
1. Tickets are personally picked up by a local Agent.. who gets paid!
2. Tickets are scanned, with your name on each ticket. Emailed to you. They also get paid!
3. When you win, an email is sent asking how you’d like your winnings (Deposit or Cashiers Check).
There is No fee taken from your Winnings !
1. If you can’t afford it, don’t play!
2. Take a trip to Spain. Pick up your own lottery tickets!
3. Stop taking the Kids lunch money so you can Gamble!
I don’t know, but I know I won the dream jumbo and so did my friend, but they are not looking at our draws. They say we lost, I know for a fact that’s BS.
I also used them for a while, but paid out far more than I ever got back. It’s true I received the two cheques with my meagre winnings, but I haven’t used them again.
People from Africa are not allowed to participate in OSA lottery, true or false?
No idea Reuben, but if you read any of the above, why on earth would you want to play with OSA?!
Yes OSA is a big rip off, we never won, they are so full off bull. Don’t ever play the OSA lotteries they will rip you off, that’s no lie.
Hi all, I used the OSA. Won once – a piddlin amount.
I played the SuperEna Lotto, and spent over £100.00,not a penny win. Realised it was a big con. I play no more, will try this one and see what happens, mac.
Could you please send me the details of my winnings, and whom to contact next? Send it to: E-mail @yahoo.com ( Use the Subject, ” WIN WIN Lottery” this will help me to pick it out from my junk -mail as it is your first time to contact me.
Er, not sure why you would think a blog post criticising OSA for being extremely expensive would be the best way to get in touch with them..?

What are Bournemouth politicians tweeting?
Ahead of the general election on May 7, many of Bournemouth’s prospective parliamentary candidates are trying to connect with voters directly through the use of social media.
Aspiring MPs have set up Facebook or Twitter accounts, with Conor Burns, the incumbent for Bournemouth West, being the most assiduous (and most followed) user. But candidates for most other parties running in the town’s two constituencies are also heavily involved on social networks, whether to express their political positions, engage with residents, or simply describe their daily errands. The only exception seems to be the Liberal Democrats. Despite the local branch having Facebook and Twitter pages, the actual PPCs for Bournemouth (Mike Plummer and Jon Nicholas) only have a limited online presence.
Both universities fall in his constituency, as well as the troubled St. Aldhelm’s Academy. He’s also a staunch opponent of the Navitus Bay project and, apparently, an avid snooker fan.
It’s the first time the Green Party fields a candidate in every constituency in Dorset, and their social media output reflects the party’s concerns on fracking and high-level tax fraud.
Old school canvassing and grassroots involvement are the dominant themes. Stokes’s campaign is heavily coordinated with the party’s prospective parliamentary candidate for Southampton Itchen, a Labour marginal seat.
The keywords reflect Ellwood’s role as a Foreign Office Minister with the portfolio for North America, the Middle East and North Africa.
Among the local UKIP candidates, Martin Houlden has the highest degree of social network participation. His campaign is mostly on the offensive,and his tweets and posts frequently target the EU, Labour and the Tories.
nb: these projections were compiled with Wordle from Facebook and Twitter posts, starting from November 1st 2014. Most common words were excluded, and the word clouds were curated to ensure readability and comprehension.
What an interesting and fun piece of work. Well done!

People dressed very differently in the Georgian period to us today. Fashions changed far less frequently. A person’s social standing and wealth was evident in how elaborate their clothes were. All the Georgian clothes in the Tullie House collections were worn by the wealthy or the middle classes.
Men’s fashions changed little during the 18th century. They wore a coat, waistcoat, shirt, breeches, stockings, wig and hat throughout the period. Gradually the cut and shape became more fitted. Loose shoulder length wigs were tied back by 1750.
These breeches and waistcoat were worn by a member of the wealthy Senhouse family. They lived at Netherhall and developed Maryport into a coal port in the 18th century. Maryport is actually named after Mary, the wife of Humphrey Senhouse, after permission was granted by an Act of Parliament to found the modern town in 1749.
These were worn by a member of the Senhouse family, a wealthy local family at Netherhall.

Through a friend, I met the woman I would go on to marry.At the time, I was 33-years old and at the start of my entrepreneurial journey (translation: completely stressed-out and about 20 lbs overweight). I'll spare you the details since it's neither relevant to helping you win at online dating, nor productive for myself or my ex-wife.It has long been my hypothesis that in most long-term relationships football has some role.Sure, there are times when both individuals hate it, avoid it, and are completely unaffected by it.All I wanted was to fall back into being aggressively single. Shirtless selfies, terrible opening lines, bad profile pics, and confusing profile summaries and headlines. As an online marketer, it occurred to me that these online dating sites were a lot like online marketing. I went on so many dates that I racked up some substantial credit card debt.
The only problem was, I wasn't interested in anything serious. I got into situations where I had to start using Evernote as a dating CRM because I was confusing what different girls did for a living, where I met them, or where we'd gone out together.Do you want potential hook ups to think you’re grainy, badly lit, and distorted? Widely available for just 0, the Sony RX100 Mk1 will blow even your i Phone out of the water when it comes to making you look good, and it’s almost as easy to use.With a Zeiss lens and one-inch sensor, it shoots far better than any other point-and-shoot even remotely comparable in price.After I moved out I began dating immediately, but this time in an entirely new environment than what I remembered from 2005 and before. Now I was over 30, which gave me a much larger pool of women to choose from.Now I had my own company, which was a substantial step above being a bartender or server. Online dating no longer carried a social stigma, and most of my friends had stopped being single a while ago, and recently started posting ultrasounds on Facebook.
These two methods do not lead to consolidating the financial statements.

Many who want to pursue a degree in translation need to obtain some type of education in order to do so. The problem can come in when one tries to go to school while holding down a job or dealing with children. For others it may be that transportation is a problem and getting to and from a campus can be too much of a struggle to make going to school an option. For people such as these and in other instances, pursuing an online translation degree at home from their computer may be the answer.
Online education has become quite popular in recent years and more and more schools are offering it in conjunction with their traditional classroom courses. An online education is a convenient and flexible way to work towards an online translation degree. Online training can offer flexible hours that one can work around their current commitments. It is also easy to get to classes since one can attend class anywhere they have internet access. Another great feature is that online training programs generally have an unlimited number of spots for students. This eliminates the worries with classes being filled or not scheduled when one needs to take them. Online training may seem that it might be a lonely way to learn, but through the use of interactive chat rooms and forms, students can converse and exchange ideas and help one another. This is of great benefit to those who worry that they will be left alone to study.
When one is choosing a school to pursue their online translation degree, it is important that one takes some time and really become familiar with the school and the type of course it offers. There are many online training programs so it is important to check their accreditation and make sure they have the proper accreditation. If you are still unsure of a school, you might try doing an online search for the school name and see what type of articles you find about them. Another good resource can be a local translation organization. These are generally made up of professionals in the translation field and they may be able to provide some insight on to which online schools will offer the best results.
Achieving an online translation degree can be a wonderful way to get the education you need to start in a new career that will bring many opportunities to you. Translation jobs are suppose to increase in the coming years as more and more business become international, so the possibilities are endless.

Barr was removed from her eponymous television series after publishing a racist tweet targeting the former Obama advisor.
Barr was fired from her ABC sitcom “Roseanne” on May 29 after posting a tweet in which she referred to former Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett as a mix between the “Muslim Brotherhood” and the “Planet of the Apes.” The network quickly cancelled the comedian’s high-rated television show. The comedy will return next season rebranded as “The Connors” and without the involvement of Barr.
At the beginning of the month, Barr tweeted to her fans that she would be participating in a television interview to explain her side of the story in detail. Barr canceled those plans the following day and said she would make her own video interview and publish it on her YouTube page. The video was posted July 19 and runs just over one minute.

Today is a glorious day, the sun is shining, the sky is the bluest blue and it is not unbearably hot. I am actually sitting here draped in a blanket because it’s cool in the house. However, these aren’t the reasons for why this is such a glorious day; what makes this day so wonderful is that ALL my children are at school for the first time! All of them, from my first grader to my senior.
I know that the appearance of the first tooth is an event and the first step is a great accomplishment but honestly, I think the day that the parents look forward to the most is when you can send your youngest off to school and have the whole (almost) to your self in peace! I was a little emotional since this is the first day of a very long school life for him, but that lasted all of twenty seconds and the rest of the time it was feelings of pure exuberance! Freedom.
What will I be doing with all this freedom? I have plans. I think the Botanic Gardens are calling my name and the art museum. Random lunch dates with my husband are most definitely warranted. I’ll take in some window shopping just so I can enjoy it in peace! A hike or walk around the trails and park to get in some exercise will be nice or a quick trip up a mountain. Fall will be here in Colorado soon, and that means that the mountains will be bursting forth in vibrant hues of gold, amber and red. I can envision my days….
Hey. Nazneen! After a big push on the housework and laundry I hope you sit down to rest for a while. A nap would not be a crime, either!
I know you cannot have a refreshing cup of tea but those days are coming back fast. I am enjoying my last days of “freedom,” because I go back to school on August 26th. (to work, that is) I love my job and look forward to all the darling children. You should have at least one day of just relaxing now. It’s a guilty pleasure but one you have earned.
That’s funny you should say that because after a very productive day, the day after was a total dud! I barely did anything and couldn’t focus to work on my room. Oh well. Atleast the downstairs looks nice and neat…for now.

Marta completed a 5-years Bachelor Degree (2001-2006) on Physics in Madrid (Spain). Right after, she did a Masters in Biophysics (2007) and a PhD also in Biophysics (2011) between Gonzalo G de Polavieja lab in Spain and Dmitri Chklovskii lab at JFRC (HHMI) in USA. At the beginning of 2012 she joined Christen’s Mirth Lab at IGC, Portugal as a Postdoctoral Researcher. In parallel to her research in June 2013 she finished a Masters on Science Education at The National Distance Education University (UNED, Spain). In July 2013 she joined Kristin Branson Lab in JFRC (HHMI), USA, also as a Postdoctoral Researcher.
Katharina obtained her Ph.D. from the International Max-Planck Research School for Neurosciences, Göttingen, Germany, where she studied the effects of attention on the responses of single neurons in visual cortex by electrophysiological recording of single-unit activity in awake behaving macaque monkeys. Since 2009, she is a postdoctoral fellow at New York University, where she is using psychophysical methods with human observers to investigate influences of attention on visual perception.

I studied biology at the Free University of Berlin where I focused on honeybee neurobiology in the lab of Randolf Menzel. For my PhD, which I received in 2014, I moved to the lab of Giovanni Galizia at the University of Konstanz where I started to work on fruit fly olfaction. I am interested in how animals are able to encode myriads of different olfactory stimuli and how the brain is able to extract relevant information from a complex chemical environment where sometimes hundreds of odors are present together at a time. Therefore, I am maintaining and developing the Database of Odor Responses (DoOR) – a database that integrates and visualizes odor responses of Drosophila sensory neurons measured by labs around the world.
I am also interested in everything regarding openSource, openScience and openEducation and I love to juggle and visualize data with R.

Designer Malcolm Russell’s innate affinity for rock climbing is the source of inspiration for his latest design, Salus, a mountaineering safety tool that makes for quick and concise correspondence between climbing partners. The lightweight device latches onto the user’s harness and uses simple colored lights as basic commands, providing a safe and easy way to communicate invaluable information like danger warnings or a notification of a successful climb.
The solid Perspex lights have been sandblasted to soften the light, and the casing has been manufactured using PVC toughened plastic for roughness and durability.
Form follows function, as the saying goes, right? The Quickie Karambit by TOPS exploits that adage in a way that gives it quite a visual advantage….

I have finally gotten around to collecting all Nano Workouts in one place. You can reach the page from this link or by pressing the WORKOUTS link from the top menu. Enjoy!
It’s now late September and I have been running this blog for just over a year and a half. During this time I have managed to draw and publish roughly 80 Nano Workouts. I came to the realization that it can be a bit difficult to browse around the site to find good and suitable workouts and I needed make an effort in collecting the workouts.
So here it is! I have collected all Nano Workouts into one page and I will be keeping it updated as more workouts are being added. If there’s one page you should bookmark then it’s this one.
This entry was posted in Stuff that aren't workouts and tagged daily routing, everyday workouts, exercise collection, workout collection on September 23, 2013 by Joakim - Nano Workout.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Contributions called "fixed donations" made to the Church of Scientology by its members may not be claimed as federal income tax deductions, the Supreme Court ruled today.
By a 5-2 vote, the justices upheld the Internal Revenue Service's contention that the fixed donations are not charitable contributions that can be counted as tax deductions.
Lawyers for the Scientologists had argued that the IRS singled out their church for unfair treatment - a contention with which two justices agreed.

Writing is an integral part of communicating. Writing helps all humans to share their ideas, thoughts, and stories with others. This includes many different skills in writing, searching, spelling, research, and advancing logical thinking. You can help your child in developing all these skills. Here are some of the great ideas on how to provide your child with the ability to practice writing skills.
Send letters - You can help your child write letters or sometimes thank you family and friends notes. You can start this method as soon as your child can make a mark on the paper or board. Encourage your child by asking him/her to "sign" a birthday package. Then you can help them rewrite what they write onto the package. As soon as they improve you can help with spellings word while writing their message to friends.
Buy your child a calendar - You can also help your child in writing by asking them to write about some important events on their calendar, some things like snow, new dog, First day of school etc. Short notes such as these can help your child learn to write and remember when something happened.
Have a family message board - You can also get a family message board where you and your children can leave notes for each other. Children like to associate themselves with their parents in all possible ways, so this is a great idea that can help their writing skills.
One on one tutoring is a very effective method of writing and teaching your child. Your child will get the full attention of an English Tutor, this method will surely speed their writing skills. With an online English tutor, you can choose a class schedule for your child.
Learning to write is a skill that requires many opportunities for practice. These ideas will help you to provide your child with tools for practicing writing as part of their life.
I am an education consultant, helping students lead their future in the right direction.

This week, you, the readers, have once again chosen the topic for my column and I'll tell you what it is in a second. This happens whenever a cluster of you ask about the same subject. We've been having a dialogue about my new book, SAVE BIG, and the ideas in it for saving big money. Many of the strategies in SAVE BIG are things you only have to do once in awhile and then reap the savings for years. When I was writing the book, I saw that as a benefit, because it also helps you save time. Rather than scrambling to save a little bit of money every day, you focus on saving when these big opportunities come up -- like when you buy a car or refinance your house or choose your health plan.
Q: Need real savings for now... tough times. Need advice from someone who knows what it's like to struggle.
Q: I've yet to find competent direction as to what to do about some of the really terrifying things happening right now with home owners, people about to lose jobs, and managing credit cards so they don't get cancelled because you pay them off monthly and the credit is there if you need it.
For those, like the folks above, who need an immediate source of savings, I have one word for you: groceries. Here's why. Not everybody owns a home, a huge cost but also a huge source of savings. Not everybody is in the market for a car, another big chance to save. And not everybody has much of a choice of healthcare coverage, if they have coverage at all. But everybody has to eat. And bathe. And do laundry. That's right, when I talk about saving on groceries I'm not just talking about food.
So let me outline the three biggest ways to save on groceries. I call it being a "Guerrilla Grocery Shopper!" The nitty gritty details are in my book. (Check it out at the library if you want, but check it out!) Meanwhile, here are the nuts and bolts to get you well on your way.
Rather than rushing around to all the stores in the area to buy the items they have on sale for the week, you go to one store that honors other stores' sale prices and get everything there. Generally, there is at least one grocery store in an area that will honor its competitors' sale prices as a way of drawing business. The trick of Price Matching is to pick off the most deeply discounted sale items of the week all at one store. That way, you save time, you save gas and you save money. I experimented with price matching when I was writing my book and found you can easily save 40 to 45 percent. Here are the nuts and bolts of price matching.
Target price matches: Super-Target now carries groceries and is starting to price-match. Even regular Targets offer some foods and many personal care and household items.
Go online: Rather than flipping endlessly through paper circulars, check out free websites like CouponMom.com, MyGroceryDeals.com, and ShopLocal.com that show your local grocery store sales. Much easier!
Track sale frequency: Once you start focusing on your top 20, you will notice that certain products go on sale at predictable intervals, like every 8 weeks. Stockpile enough to get you through to the next sale.
Decide your discount: One way to keep yourself honest when stockpiling is to commit that you will only stock up on products that are at least X percent off their regular price. I like to focus on things that are at least 50% off.
Go online again. CouponMom.com and GroceryGame.com both show the biggest sales at your local stores. You can make a customized grocery list of just those items that are discounted enough to meet your goals.
The key to creative couponing is never to use a coupon by itself. Always layer it with some other strategy. The other key is to use online tools to make couponing easy --and lucrative. The old fashioned way of clipping coupons in advance is too time consuming. The savings cannot be ignored. Guerilla Grocery shoppers who take advantage of creative couponing save as much as 80-percent and even get some groceries for free!
Save your Circulars. Save all of your circulars whole, without cutting-- for two months. Most coupons expire after 10 weeks, so you can toss the circulars at that point.
Hold out for coupon combos: Never use a manufacturer coupon alone. Always use it in combination with a store sale, a store coupon, a double or triple coupon offer, or a buy- one-get-one-free offer.
Copy Coupon Queens: If you're unsure how to pull off coupon combos, just copy veterans who post their best bargains online. Do what they do. Many are at www.BeCentsAble.net.
