Can You Take Too Much Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 is an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in bone health and the absorption of calcium in the body. It is essential for maintaining healthy teeth, bones, and muscles. However, as with all good things, too much of it can be harmful. Taking an excessive amount of vitamin D3 can lead to a range of health problems. In this article, we'll explore whether it's possible to take too much vitamin D3 and what the implications of doing so are.
What is Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is one of the two major types of vitamin D. It is the form of vitamin D that is produced by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight and is also found in certain foods. Vitamin D3 plays an essential role in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood, and it helps in the absorption of calcium from the intestines. It is essential for the proper development of teeth, bones, and muscles, and it also supports the immune system.
The Recommended Daily Intake of Vitamin D3
The recommended daily intake of vitamin D3 varies depending on age, gender, and various health conditions. The amount of vitamin D3 that people need can be determined by a blood test known as the 25-hydroxy vitamin D test, which measures the level of vitamin D3 in the blood. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the recommended daily intake for vitamin D3 for most adults is between 600 and 800 IU (International Units). Pregnant and breastfeeding women, elderly people, and people with certain health conditions may require more.
Exceeding the daily intake threshold can lead to vitamin D3 toxicity, which can be harmful to health. The benefits of meeting the daily requirement include reducing the risk of osteoporosis, reducing the risk of colorectal cancer, reducing the risk of falls in older adults, and improving overall bone health.
The Risks Associated With Overdose of Vitamin D3
While vitamin D3 is essential for good health, too much of it can be harmful and potentially toxic. Excessive consumption of vitamin D3 can lead to a condition known as hypervitaminosis D, which can cause a range of health problems. The risks of vitamin D3 overdose include:
- Hypercalcemia: Excessive intake of vitamin D3 can lead to an overabundance of calcium in the blood, leading to hypercalcemia. This can cause a range of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, weakness, confusion, and in severe cases, kidney damage.
- Kidney damage: Excessive levels of calcium in the body can cause damage to the kidneys.
- Digestive problems: Too much vitamin D3 can lead to a range of digestive problems, including constipation, diarrhea, and stomach cramps.
- Skeletal pain: It can cause muscle aches and pains, and even bone pain.
Individuals taking calcium supplements are at a higher risk of experiencing vitamin D3 toxicity as the combination of supplements can lead to excessive levels of calcium in the blood.
Symptoms of Vitamin D3 Toxicity
The symptoms of vitamin D3 toxicity can vary depending on the severity of the condition, ranging from mild to severe. Initial symptoms include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Dry mouth and metallic taste
With the progression of vitamin D3 toxicity, more severe symptoms can develop, including:
- Hypercalcemia: Severe cases of vitamin D3 toxicity can cause excessive levels of calcium in the blood leading to increased risk of kidney stones, kidney failure, and soft-tissue calcification, especially in the heart and lungs.
- Dehydration: In severe cases, dehydration can occur as a result of frequent vomiting and diarrhea caused by vitamin D3 toxicity.
- Confusion: In severe cases, the high levels of calcium can affect the brain, leading to confusion, disorientation, and even coma.
Treatment Options for Vitamin D3 Overdose
If you suspect an overdose of vitamin D3, you should seek medical attention immediately. Treatment will depend on the severity of the symptoms and may include:
- Discontinuing vitamin D3 supplements if taken
- In severe cases, hospitalization and control of critical health symptoms along with IV fluids and bisphosphonates to reduce blood calcium levels
- More water and other fluids, along with diuretics
- Corticosteroids to reduce inflammation in severe cases
It is essential to seek medical attention in the event of a vitamin D3 overdose as the condition can lead to severe health complications and even death if left untreated.
Factors that Can Increase the Risk of Vitamin D3 Overdose
Several factors can increase the risk of vitamin D3 toxicity, such as:
- Age
- Body Mass
- Medical history
- Conditions such as psoriasis, thyroid problems, and Crohn's disease
- Medications such as corticosteroids and seizure medications
How to Avoid the Risk of Vitamin D3 Overdose
The key to avoiding the risks of vitamin D3 overdose is to understand the optimal and safe levels to consume. It is essential to optimize vitamin D3 consumption without putting your health at risk. The following tips can help:
- Get your vitamin D3 levels regularly checked by your doctor and follow their advice on dosing.
- Be mindful of your calcium supplements if you are taking them. Consult your doctor regarding doses supplements that combine Calcium and Vitamin D.
- Get sufficient vitamin D3 through safe exposure to sunlight, often in the early morning or late afternoon, avoid peak hours.
- Include vitamin D3-rich foods such as fatty fish, egg yolks, fortified milk, and plant-based substitutes which contain vitamin D3.
Vitamin D3 is an important nutrient that is essential for good health. However, excessive consumption of vitamin D3 can lead to a range of health problems. Understanding the optimal and safe levels for vitamin D3 consumption is key to optimizing health outcomes. Regular vitamin D3 testing and consultation with your doctor about healthy concentrations can ensure that you gain all the benefits without experiencing harmful side effects.

but really, who am I?
You've come out as trans*
Congratulations on coming out, by the way. That shit ain't easy. What's also not easy is then trying to sort out your sexual identity.
sexual identity vs. Gender identity
An umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or expression is different from cultural expectations based on the sex they were assigned at birth. Being transgender does not imply any specific sexual orientation. Therefore, transgender people may identify as straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc.
-Gender Identity
One's innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither – how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves. One's gender identity can be the same or different from their sex assigned at birth.
-Gender Expression
External appearance of one's gender identity, usually expressed through behavior, clothing, haircut or voice, and which may or may not conform to socially defined behaviors and characteristics typically associated with being either masculine or feminine.
-Gender Transition
The process by which some people strive to more closely align their internal knowledge of gender with its outward appearance. Some people socially transition, whereby they might begin dressing, using names and pronouns and/or be socially recognized as another gender. Others undergo physical transitions in which they modify their bodies through medical interventions.
Sexual Orientation
An inherent or immutable enduring emotional, romantic or sexual attraction to other people.
Gender Dysphoria
Clinically significant distress caused when a person's assigned birth gender is not the same as the one with which they identify. According to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the term – which replaces Gender Identity Disorder – "is intended to better characterize the experiences of affected children, adolescents, and adults."
*All definitions from hrc.org
These are very different things. Yes, they are associated with each other, but they are not the same.
Being born as a female, identifying as male, does not immediately make you straight. You may not have been attracted to women in the first place.
You may have been attracted to men and women, and that's okay. You may be attracted to only men, that's okay.
If you aren't attracted to anyone, that's okay too.
Look, what I'm getting at is that who you are attracted to has nothing to do with your gender identity.
I, myself struggled with this when I first started my transition. I now am starting to see who I've always been in the mirror, but who do I see when I think about who I am attracted to?
Coming to terms with the fact that you are exploring your sexuality can be a scary thing, but now that you are comfortable in your skin, you will feel more confident pursuing whom you find yourself being attracted to.
I am a queer transgender male. This means that I am attracted to multiple genders, not just biological women. I didn't immediately know this, I had to discover it. I had to take the time to search within myself. Was I afraid of what others would think? Of course. Did it matter in the end? Nope.
This is my journey through my life, just as your transition is a journey through your life. This is your time for self-discovery and your time to finally become who you've always been.
This life that we have been given is such a beautiful thing. It's never too late to be yourself. Do what you need to do to embrace that.
Please reach out to me if you need anything. If you want to talk, if you have questions, anything. I am here for you.

Writing about my life and experiences as a white, transgender, queer male.

Dear Professor Dworkin,
I am delighted that you now agree with me that it is "preposterous" (I was more diplomatic) to argue that all "intimate and personal" decisions are constitutionally protected. Now you offer a more subtle argument, based on "three kinds of reasons governments give for limiting people's freedom": 1) that the acts inflict injury on others; 2) that the acts are "horribly against the actor's own interests"; or 3) that the acts, though they are "dangerous neither to other people nor to the actor himself" are forbidden because they "offend popular ideas about how best to show respect for religious or ethical ideals"–in other words, that they are immoral. Your "principle," you now say, is merely that the third of these reasons is not legitimate.
There are three flaws in this argument.
First, you put the cart before the horse. Before determining what reasons may be sufficient to justify infringements on "people's freedom," it is necessary to determine whether an asserted interest (such as assisted suicide) is a constitutional right to begin with. If the supposed constitutional right to assisted suicide cannot be derived from syllogisms about "intimate and personal choices" (as we now seem to agree), and it plainly is not derived from standard constitutional materials (the constitutional text, the history illuminating its meaning, the tradition and experience of the nation, or established precedent), where does it come from? Constitutional law cannot proceed at the abstract level of an Oxford seminar. Constitutional claims must be rooted in something recognizable as law–something ultimately traceable to the will of the people, who in our system are sovereign. To treat whatever "rights" may seem important or desirable as a matter of abstract theory as constitutionally protected would render the actual Constitution irrelevant.
In my last message, I explained that the accepted mode of determining whether an asserted interest is fundamental is to ask whether it has been recognized as such through the evolving history and experience of the nation. This has the virtue both of connecting constitutional law to the consent of the governed and of ensuring a cautious and experimental–and nondogmatic–approach to constitutional change. Under this standard, assisted suicide plainly is not a fundamental right. You assert that this interpretation of the due-process clause has "been widely rejected," but you supply no citations (probably because, outside of the abortion cases, it has been widely followed and never rejected). Even the 2nd Circuit, in its assisted-suicide decision, recognized these authorities and concluded that there was no basis for saying that assisted suicide is a fundamental right under established due-process analysis.
Second, there is no principle of constitutional law that precludes the enactment of laws based on the moral and ethical judgments of the community. The principle can be found neither in the Constitution nor in any decision of the Supreme Court. On the contrary, the classic statement of the "police powers" of government includes protections for public "health, safety, welfare, and morals." If you are suggesting this as a proposal for constitutional change, we could all give it serious consideration; but as a description of our actual constitutional practice it lies in the realm of wishful thinking.
Third, even if there were such a principle, it is far from clear that assisted-suicide laws would fall within it. Is the administration of deadly poison (even with consent) so obviously an act that is "dangerous neither to other people nor to the actor himself"? Assisted-suicide laws are commonly thought to fall into your first category: They protect patients from doctors, heirs, and medical administrators who might exploit their condition of vulnerability to induce them to "choose" a cheap and speedy death. Alternatively, the laws might fall into your second category: protecting the actor from committing an act that is horribly against his own interest. Like selling oneself into slavery, assisted suicide is seen by many as the ultimate self-destruction of freedom.
Society has a legitimate interest in protecting vulnerable people who are not in a position to exercise informed and independent choice. It may be true that for some individuals, death is freely chosen; but for many others, such a "choice" is a product of clinical depression, poor treatment of pain, pressure (often subtle) from doctors and family members (who may well be motivated by considerations of cost), and–most importantly–feelings of guilt caused by the burden they are placing on others. The proper treatment for most such patients is better pain therapy and treatment for depression, as well as encouragement, love, support, and reassurance. For many of the poor, the weak, and the friendless, the "right to die" means that the doctors will feel free to tell them they are better off dead.
These are among the reasons generally invoked by opponents of assisted suicide. You and your five fellow philosophers may disagree with them. But it has been the unanimous conclusion of interdisciplinary task forces appointed in New York and Britain, the conclusion of the professional societies of those most experienced in the care of the terminally ill, the conclusion of the representatives of the people in every state of the union, the conclusion of the people themselves in referendums in two out of the three states where a vote was held, and the conclusion of every other nation in the world but one to retain these restrictions. We do not want death to be added to the doctor's checklist of treatment options. The issue is currently undergoing intense and sober discussion in medical and ethical circles, newspapers, legislatures, churches, synagogues, symposiums, street corners, and all the other forums in which Americans make decisions that affect our lives. By what right would you pre-empt these deliberations and take this decision out of the hands of the people?

BookLook Review "Cranberry" I mean "Cranford"
This charming Victorian novel begins: "In the first place, Cranford is in possession of the Amazons; all the holders of houses, above a certain rent, are women." And as we read a little further we begin to see that these are remarkable women: "Their dress is very independent of fashion; as they observe, 'What does it signify how we dress here at Cranford, where everybody knows us?' And if they go from home, their reason is equally cogent: 'What does it signify how we dress here, where nobody knows us..." I had to give you a taste of the delicious writing of Elizabeth Gaskell. She wraps you up in lace and carries you off to dine on tea and crumpets in her little fictional English town of Cranford. It is an escape to an earlier time and place where gentle ladies strolled along arm in arm wearing their latest bonnets.
Gaskell's close friends included Florence Nightingale and Charlotte Bronte and she was a respected contemporary of Charles Dickens. She published "Cranford" in serial form for a literary paper where Dickens was the editor in 1851. Serials were popular reading as an economical way to read a book and sell newspapers and magazines. Maybe we should try it again to revive our declining national newspaper readership?
The ladies of Cranford are the local monarchy of their little parish. Their superstitions and social rulings are absolute law. As if Victorian society wasn't already as rigid as a corset, Miss Matty, Miss Jenkyns, Mrs. Jamieson, and Miss Pole tighten things up to the point of painful breathlessness. The ladies manage to rise above their modest financial means to create a social order as impressive as royal court. Yet when one of their friends needs help their kind and generous hearts endear them to the reader.
Although I own "Cranford" as a part of my beautifully bound British classics, I listened to some of this book on CD to enjoy the English accent of the reader. Lasting just over 7 hours it is the perfect length for a week of daily exercising – and you can imagine you are strolling under a parasol down a dusty lane instead of toiling on a treadmill.

"I wonder you did not strike him," said Malluch, yielding to a touch of passion.
"That would have been to put him past serving me forever. I would have had to kill him, and Death, you know, keeps secrets better even than a guilty Roman."
The man who, with so much to avenge, could so calmly put such an opportunity aside must be confident of his future or have ready some better design, and Malluch's interest changed with the thought; it ceased to be that of an emissary in duty bound to another. Ben-Hur was actually asserting a claim upon him for his own sake. In other words, Malluch was preparing to serve him with good heart and from downright admiration.
After brief pause, Ben-Hur resumed speaking.
"I would not take his life, good Malluch; against that extreme the possession of the secret is for the present, at least, his safeguard; yet I may punish him, and so you give me help, I will try."
"He is a Roman," said Malluch, without hesitation; "and I am of the tribe of Judah. I will help you. If you choose, put me under oath--under the most solemn oath."
"Give me your hand, that will suffice."
As their hands fell apart, Ben-Hur said, with lightened feeling, "That I would charge you with is not difficult, good friend; neither is it dreadful to conscience. Let us move on."

Gentleness [noun]
Definition of Gentleness:
intentional mildness
Sentence/Example of Gentleness:
When he returned to the hotel he kissed his incongruous room-mate with the gentleness of a woman.
My child, said the Dowager, and her eyes dwelt on Valerie with a look of studied gentleness, "why will you not be reasonable?"
His former reputation for gentleness and moderation was injured; and scoffers cried triumphantly: "See, even he also!"
With a grace and a gentleness beyond compare, he closes the door of night and greets the waking world with a smile.
There was neither guile nor vanity in the girl's heart, nor a trace of deceit in her face; only gentleness, truth, and beauty.
The patience he showed, and the gentleness—yes, and the strength and firmness, when these were needed.
The young man's face suddenly changed, and assumed an expression of ineffable gentleness.
What other passion than frenzied pride can render men so ferocious, so vindictive, so devoid of toleration and gentleness?
A great weakness seemed to overcome him, for an unusual gentleness came into his voice, the quiet tone of weak convalescence.
Gentleness is lovely always, wherever found; but it appears most lovely in children and youth.

Chapter Ten
"You're joking, aren't you?"
Jack was dead serious. Claire watched, ready for him to crack a smile. He didn't.
She stepped closer. "Yes, this is all a damn joke, isn't it? What is this, some kind of sadistic rendition of Candid Camera? Eighteenth century, huh? I don't think so." But somehow she knew it wasn't a joke. Little things—tidbits of information—came flying back at her: his clothing, his speech, the furniture, the cabin. She looked him straight in the eyes and shook her head from side to side. "No, it's impossible." She backed away one step.
He moved forward. "Hannah…"
"No! Don't call me that." She bolted.
"Hannah!" Jack followed. It only took him three or four steps to reach her and pull her body into his, halting her.
"No!" She screamed louder this time, flailing her arms. "No! It can't be true. It can't be!"
He grabbed her arms and pinned them between his body and hers.
"What, Hannah? What cannot be true?"
Suddenly the fight went out of her, and she leaned against him. Tears formed in her eyes. After several minutes, she turned her face up. It was all too clear now. How she'd figured it out, she didn't know. But suddenly, she knew.
"You had a wife, didn't you?"
His face pained. He nodded slowly and whispered, "You are my wife, Hannah."
Sighing, she closed her eyes, shook her head wildly, and then opened them again. "My name is Claire. Hannah was your wife. She died, didn't she?"
Jack clutched her closer. She watched his eyes clamp shut, the tears squeezing past the barrier like tiny nodules. He nodded. "You are my Hannah. You look like her, you feel like her. I have you back now. You are my Hannah."
She barely heard him.
Fear lanced through her. He had a wife. She died. Now he thought his beloved Hannah had returned to him.
And had she? Could it be?
She gazed into Jack's now open eyes. Okay, I'll play along.
"What year did we marry?"
"Marry? Why, don't you remember, love? It was in June of last year, 1717."
1717. Claire kept her gaze fixed on his lips. 1717? But how? How did I get here?
"When did I…when did your wife…die?"
He loosened his grip and stepped back. "About ten months later. Last spring."
"You know how, Hannah. I choose not to discuss it with you."
She felt him physically and emotionally cut himself off from her. She stepped back. Too painful.
"So it's now…1718?"
Jack nodded. Claire felt the silence of the forest around her. Now it all made sense. Sort of. In 1717, Jack married Hannah. She died ten months later, and now, somehow, Claire had become his wife. Somehow, she'd crossed the barriers of time and landed here, in 1718, as this man's wife!
"How did this happen?"
His gaze pinned her. Her every nerve ending shivered from her head to her toes as he spoke. "Why, it was the magic in the stone, of course."
She glanced away.
Oh, Lord. And I thought my existence was so mundane. Wait until I tell Vicki about this.
Then terror stunned her as she realized she might never see Vicki again. Or Mama.
No, before she'd accept this, she needed more.
Jerking her gaze back to him, she ordered, "Prove it."
"Prove what?"
"Prove to me that this is 1718." She needed that. Something, anything, to make sense of this entire situation. "Prove to me that I'm your wife, Jack. Prove to me that everything you're telling me is the truth." There. He would have to come clean. Have to tell her all of this was nothing but a stinking lie. "Otherwise, I will not believe you."
The startled look on his face was nearly her undoing. She cared for this man. Truly, she did. Somehow. She just wanted something—some semblance of truth and sanity to bop her on the head and make her believe this story he portrayed was indeed the truth and all of this was possible. No, not possible, but probable. She needed a dose of reality about now. The problem was did she want it to be the truth, or did she want it to be fantasy?
He held her gaze a moment longer and then gently grasped her left hand. She watched as his thumb and forefinger squeezed the band of gold around her third finger and pulled. Funny, how all this time she couldn't get the ring off but he pulled it off with such ease. As it left her finger, her hand suddenly felt naked and empty, and there was a definite tug at her heartstrings when it was gone. Jack held the ring between his thumb and forefinger and thrust it between the two of them.
"I traveled to the mainland for this. I wanted it to be special. When I placed it on your finger our wedding day, I knew then that we'd sealed a bond that would last forever."
He turned the ring in his fingers and then handed it to Claire. "Look." His gaze caught and held hers. Without breaking the connection, she reached out and took the ring. "Go on, look at it."
She held it in the palm of her left hand. With her right hand she picked up the wide gold band and looked closer, turning it so she could see the interior. It was inscribed.
With her heart tripping madly in her chest, she read out loud the words she saw: "For Eternity, 15 June 1717."
Stunned, she could not take her eyes off the ring until Jack took it from her hand and returned it to her shaking finger.
"This," he began, "is where it belongs. And this is where it will stay."
Misty clouds enveloped her brain, turning her vision fuzzy. The world spun white around her, and blood galloped in her ears. She turned, lightheaded and nauseous all at once, as she fell into a solid heap at Jack's feet.
The next thing Claire realized as she looked up at Jack through veiled eyes was that she ought to get up from there and run. Run as fast and as far as her legs could carry her. But to where? He cared for her. He loved her. She had felt it in his kisses last night. She saw it in his eyes when he woke this morning. He'd saved her from Rick. He'd protected her.
No, if everything Jack told her was true, she couldn't run. She had to stay right here. At least now she knew he wasn't crazy. Or a ghost. And as bizarre as it all seemed, it was a relief to know that somehow, she was not in the hands of a lunatic, but simply in another time. No, her best chance was to stay right here.
Simple. There was nothing simple about this.
The pain in his eyes ran deep. As he squatted before her, his still naked body twisted slightly away, his face angled in thought, or perhaps memory, she felt drawn to him. Silently she leaned closer, touched his cheek, and lifted his troubled face toward hers.
My God, the pain of her death must have been horrible.
He rotated toward her, and she held out her arms to him. He fell into the embrace and quickly folded her into him. They tumbled, bodies intertwined. With a sigh that nearly tore her heart out, she listened as he whispered Hannah's name into her hair. His embrace tightened, and there they stayed for several minutes. She cooed words of reassurance into his ear, and he finally quieted and just held her.
At length, he broke free, wiped near non-existent tears from his face with the heels of his hands—she was sure letting her see any semblance of tears was not manly to him—and looked deep into Claire's face. His hands settled on her shoulders.
"I'm telling you the truth, I swear it. I'll tell you everything I know, and I'd like you to do the same with me. I don't understand it, I probably never will, but maybe we can figure it out together."
He brushed away a stray lock of hair and then threaded his fingers through the length. He continued, his voice choking with emotion. "It's just that…it's just that I nearly died myself when you left me. It's a miracle from the Heavens I'm sure. I just give thanks that I have you back." He leaned forward, his lips brushed hers in the sweetest and most emotion-filled kiss she thought she'd ever experienced.
She knew instantly this man was probably the most sincere person she'd ever encountered in her life and she had no choice but to trust him. "We have a lot of talking to do," she said quietly.
"That we do."
She smiled and angled her face at him. "How about if we first go back to the cabin and get dressed?"
"Yes," he agreed.
She slipped her arms around his waist. The shock of her existence here had not quite settled in her brain. It would come, she was certain. The shock. But after it wore off, would she be content here? Would she be able to stay forever?
Could she ever get back to the twenty-first century if she wanted? If she tried?
And were Jack's kisses and passionate lovemaking enough? Were they really intended for her? Claire? Or was he just making love to Hannah in his mind?
Did he even know the difference?
"So you are telling me you remember none of it?"
She nodded. After a short nap, she had insisted they talk. They lay tangled, wrapped in each other's arms. She wanted every detail, every minute particle of Hannah's life, suddenly realizing she had to know her intimately, to try to make some sense of this whole situation. And Jack, after a moment, had agreed to discuss it, even though it would be painful. Somehow, she had to make him understand she wasn't really Hannah. At least she didn't think she was Hannah.
"Jack, it's difficult for you to understand, I know, but I'm not Hannah. I can't remember."
He shook his head quickly. "You are Hannah. Whatever your name now, I know you are my Hannah." He peered into her eyes. "I could never forget that shade of green in all my days. Nor the softness of your lips. Your beautiful white breasts. Or how you smell when I make love to you. I could never forget that, Hannah."
She swallowed the emotion that pooled in her throat. "Oh," she whispered softly. "So maybe I am…Hannah?"
"You are."
And at that moment, she resigned herself to the fact that perhaps it could be true. That maybe she was Hannah Porter. Somehow. She might as well consider it, nothing else made sense so far. Looking into his eyes, she continued, "I need to know everything, Jack. Tell me everything."
He did, starting with their courtship and marriage and the blissful ten months prior to Hannah's death. He spoke of her meekness, her genteel ways, her soft-spoken manner. Claire wondered if Jack had noticed the subtle, and maybe the obvious, differences. Or if he was in denial of all that. It wasn't that Claire was hard and crude by any stretch of the imagination, but she would never have thought of herself as genteel. Perhaps a little naive at times, and not very aggressive unless provoked, but definitely assertive.
Maybe that's what the twenty-first century does to you, Claire.
"The day of the kidnapping was the worst of my life." Jack's voice grew softer and his arms tightened around her.
For several minutes, he didn't continue as he gathered his wits about him. And when he did speak, it was like he was talking to Hannah. "It was a beautiful day, I remember. We rode into the
just to be outside enjoying the
day. You missed people, sometimes, and you liked to visit. So I finished my
chores and we went. The town was bustling that day, and it had been a good day
for the fishermen. The wharf was loaded with fish, several ships sat in the
harbor filled with merchandise to trade or sell, the streets were packed with
laughing children and women doing their marketing, and seamen back from long
months at sea eyeing the women as if they were theirs for the picking." village of Ocracoke
Claire let him speak. She dared not interrupt, afraid he would stop and she would never know the truth.
"I didn't like the way some of them stared at you. I kept you close by my side, your arm in mine the whole time, until you saw Abigail Miller near the wharf and waved to her and she motioned for you to come closer.
"I glanced around and the crowds were thinning. There's no danger here, I thought. So I told you to go see to her, and I stepped into the fishmonger's to see what he had to offer. We talked and laughed, and it wasn't until I heard your scream that I turned and saw the filthy bastards carrying you away.
"'Twas like the picture froze in my mind and I couldn't move at first—then I ran. By the time I reached the edge of the wharf, they'd tossed you in a small boat and were oaring toward the ship. Your screams pierced my soul. When I tried to follow, to get someone to help me go after you, they all looked at me and shook their heads. I didn't understand why until one man simply pointed to the large sloop and I saw the Jolly Roger unfurl.
"It was the ship of Blackbeard."
"Blackbeard? You mean the pirate Blackbeard?"
Jack nodded. "Yes, one and the same."
Claire shivered with dread then, the blood in her veins turning icy cold. She burrowed into Jack. It was almost as though she felt Hannah's fear. She wasn't sure if she wanted to hear the rest. From her knowledge of history, she knew Blackbeard had wreaked havoc over the East Coast for several years, and she knew he frequented the barrier islands. Ocracoke was his home. Until this moment, she'd not thought about the historical ramifications and the danger here. And she didn't want to think of what probably had happened to poor Hannah.
A flash of memory of the man in the village shop broke into her thoughts and she shivered. Was that just yesterday? Or the day before?
"I curse that day like no other. I, of all people, should know the ship of Blackbeard, but he'd captured a different sloop. He'd not yet cut down the gunwales and fashioned her to his needs. I didn't know. Truly, Hannah, I didn't know."
"I know that, Jack." She was afraid to look at him, afraid he was upset. It was as if he was apologizing to her, and then, she thought, he probably was. "Hannah knew that. You would never intentionally put Hannah in danger."
As if to reassure himself she was actually lying in his arms, he rubbed his hands over her body and cradled her tight against him. It was difficult to breathe. The warmth of his breath blew moist against her cheek.
"I'm here, Jack. I'm not going anywhere."
He loosened his grip. "I know. 'Tis just so painful, at times."
She pulled back slightly to look into his eyes. "I know," she whispered. "But we need to do this."
He nodded and then continued. "He kept you for three days out to sea before I saw his ship passing through the inlet late the third night. I knew he would come. I knew where he liked to stay. Teach's Hole, it is called, just on the sound side of the island, where escape is easiest.
"I waited until the night took over and the rum had taken hold of his crew. I prayed that the pirate had taken enough laudanum to black himself out, for he likes the drug, you know, even traded prisoners for it a week or two earlier, I'd heard. So I hoped it was this night that he'd indulge himself. The thing was he had forced it on you."
She gasped.
Jack spoke quickly as if to get it all out and over with as soon as possible, glazing over the pain as much as he could. "I found you in his quarters, but I had to slice into his…his male parts before I could get to you. You were in a deep sleep, so I carried you and jumped off the ship before Blackbeard's wails woke the entire crew. I put you in my boat and oared into the mist before they could get to us and then I brought you back here.
"You died two weeks later in my arms. You never woke up."
Claire squeezed her eyes tight, the pain in his voice forced her to sob softly and clutch to him.
"You curled into me," he continued softly. "Your breath fanned warm and soft against my chest. I thought I felt the pressure of your hand grasp at me. And then, quickly, you were gone."
His voice was a hushed whisper. "I loved you so, my Hannah. When I lost you, it broke my heart into a thousand pieces."
For a flash of time, she thought she was there. That she remembered it. That she felt the sensation of Hannah dying. She trembled in his arms.
Jack tucked the fingers of his right hand under her chin and pried her face away from his chest. "Hannah," he whispered. "Let me look at you."
Her tear-stained face rose to meet his.
"I love you, Hannah Porter. You. The woman in my arms right now. You are Hannah Porter. Help me put the pieces back together."
She reached to cup his face and felt the stubble of beard growth under her fingertips. Gently, she pulled him closer. Her own heart swelled and thumped wildly within. "Yes. Yes, Jack. I'll help you put the pieces back together," she whispered and then briefly touched her lips to his. "I care for you more than any man I've ever known."
And she knew she did. Always had. But it worried the hell out of her.
"Let me love you," he whispered into her hair. "Let me love you for all those days and nights we were apart."
Claire looked deeply into Jack Porter's eyes. "No, this time, let me love you."
Her hands fell to his chest, and she gently rolled him over and pushed him back into the tick. She rose over him and straddled him, whisking her gown away from her body. She started at his shoulders, kneading slowly with her hands, moving downward over his chest, then down lower to his belly until she grasped him as he lay hard and ready between her legs.
She stroked and fondled him, watching his face. His head lay back and his breathing deepened. He glanced lower, watching her hands slide over him. She could feel the tip of his shaft grow damp, slid her fingers over it, and spread his silky fluid downward.
Scooting backward, she leaned to his chest and let her lips follow the trail left by her hands, lower and lower she moved until he threaded his hands into her hair and grasped her head tightly.
"Hannah…" he rasped.
She moved lower. Licking, sucking at the juncture of his thigh and pelvis, slowly nipping as she centered her mouth closer to the base of his shaft and curled her tongue around him.
"Hannah…" he croaked a warning.
Her tongue flicked out and grazed the length of him.
Involuntarily, he clasped his hands into her hair and jerked her head up and away from his cock to look into his eyes. Claire registered the frantic, almost tortured look on his face.
"What are you doing to me?"
Then she knew she was doing something to Jack that Hannah never had. Somehow the simplicity and the decadence of that pleased her.
Very much.
"Loving you, my Jack. My way," she whispered. "Let me."
He released his grasp on her hair then and fell back against the pillow. She reached up and pulled his hands into hers, threading her fingers into his, and clasped them down hard against the tick, on either side of his hips.
Lowering herself again, she grazed her lips softly against his shaft and felt his silken cock move against her cheek. She tongued him, laved him, repeatedly, and she reveled in his groans and the tight grip he had on her palms.
When she took him fully into her mouth, she enjoyed only a few solid strokes, loving the feel of him inside her cheeks, before he exploded, holding her to him, and curled up off the bed with a howl that rivaled a hurricane wind.
"Come. I want to show you the stone."
Jack rose from the bed and stepped across the cabin toward the hooks on the wall and retrieved some of his clothing. As he pulled on a pair of baggy breeches, Claire sat up in the bed, smiled, and watched. Next, he fastened a shirt around him, letting the top hang open at his chest, loose and carefree. He raked his fingers through his long hair and then tied it back with a thin piece of leather. Looking at her, he smiled back.
"You know you are very pretty sitting there like that, but don't you think you should get up and get dressed. You've worn your angel's gown for two days now. I want to show you the stone."
Claire glanced around her, the smile fading from her lips. "I haven't any clothes, Jack."
His smile faded as well and his eyes closed briefly, as if he'd momentarily forgotten how she'd gotten there.
"Oh. But you do."
He turned and lifted the lid on the heavy carved chest across the room. He carefully lifted several articles of clothing, turned and thrust them to her. "Here you go, m' love. I stored them all away after you…after—"
She rose and walked across the room. "Never mind. I know." He dumped the layers of clothing into her arms and then started to close the lid of the chest. "Wait."
The motion stopped in mid-air. Smiling, she peeked over his shoulder and peered into the chest. "You don't have any tennis shoes or jeans in there do you?" She saw his puzzled look, realizing she was confusing the hell out of him with her joke.
"Didn't think so," she muttered and crossed the room, laying the clothing on the bed.
She picked up the articles and laid them aside. For the life of her, she didn't know what to put on first. She glanced back over her shoulder. "Um, Jack?"
"M' love?"
"I, uh…I think I need some help here."
He crossed the room and smiled wickedly. "Gladly, m' love."
His hands settled on her waist and he bent to nibble at her ear. Then one hand lowered, slapped her on her backside lightly, and he growled. "Plenty of time for that later, though. Now get dressed. We're going to see the stone."
She whirled, but he was gone. The door to the cabin stood open, and she heard him shout from outside. "I'll get the horse and wait for you."
Turning back to the pile of fabric, she decided she'd give it her best shot. After all, she couldn't run around in her nightgown, no matter what the century.
Of course, she had no choice.
Surveying the articles one by one, she muttered, "All right. Let's see what we've got here."
The first article looked somewhat like a corset with shoulder straps. The next article looked like her grandmother's nightgown with ruffles at the top and long full sleeves. Then the skirt, she did recognize that, an apron, and some type of bonnet. Obviously, Hannah never heard of underwear.
"Oh, for an extra pair or two of plain old cotton panties," she said under her breath. "Well, here goes." Figuring that the corset was like a bra, she put it on first, struggling with the front lacing, then the nightgown thing, the skirt went on top. She chucked the apron and bonnet figuring she had enough clothes on to keep any of her body parts from showing. And it was hot. He didn't give her any shoes, so she didn't bother trying to find any. After all, he didn't wear them either, so maybe they went barefoot most of the time. It was a beach, wasn't it?
Well, it's now or never.
She walked to the front door, feeling a bit ridiculous, wondering if she looked like she'd swiped somebody's Halloween costume, and stepped out onto the small covered porch.
"Jack?" Silence answered her. "Jack?" She wandered a few steps away from the porch and glanced both right and left. "Jack?"
"Right here."
She jumped.
Turning, Jack came around the side of the cabin leading a horse. He stopped and stared. "Really, Hannah, go get yourself dressed."
She glanced down and then back at him. "I am dressed."
He snorted. "Halfway." He dropped the horse's reins and stepped closer to her. He pulled down the shoulder of the gown-thing revealing the corset and stared at her chest. "Why did you put your corset under your chemise, Hannah?"
She stared at him. "That's where it goes, isn't it?"
"Surely you jest?"
She bristled at his frankness. "No, Jack. I do not jest. I asked you for help but you just walked out."
"But you know how to get dressed, don't you?"
"Not in these clothes."
"Did you forget everything, Hannah?"
I never knew it in the first place, Jack! "Okay. Tell me how to get dressed so I don't feel like an imbecile."
"Idiot. Fool. Stupid person." She shook her head. "Just tell me what to do." To say the least, she was irritated.
"You just put them on, Hannah. Just like every other woman. You know I don't know about womanly things."
"I'll bet you know how to take them off!"
Jack stared at her, his eyes widening. "That, I do," he said with a twinkle.
"Then tell me how to put them on. Look, I'm telling you I don't know how. So are you going to help me or not? Either tell me or I'll wear them any way I damn well please!"
He cocked his head to one side and placed his hands on his hips. "You surely are feisty, woman. You never crossed me before, Hannah."
Claire bit her lip before she shouted, "But I'm not Hannah!"
Sighing, she spoke softly. "Sorry, Jack. This is all rather new to me, too. Please, tell me how to put the clothes on and I'll do it. Then we can go."
Without flinching, he began, "The chemise goes on first," he reached out and touched the gown-thing. "That's this. Then the skirt and the apron, then the corset on top. You need your bonnet, too."
"I'm not wearing that stupid bonnet."
"You will…"
She shot him a look that could kill.
"All right." He turned to walk away.
"Do I have to wear the apron?" He stopped in mid-stride. She could tell it was taking everything he had in him not to yell at her.
"I'll wear the apron." Today.
He returned to the horse. Claire stepped to the porch. "I'll be back in a jiffy."
"A jiffy?" he mumbled. "What article of clothing is a jiffy?"
Claire stopped for a second upon entering the doorway and grinned.

Gurian CPA Firm is an excellent option if you have a complex tax situation; this includes reporting foreign income and assets. Not only will our firm ensure that the appropriate forms are filed, but we'll also assist you with making financial moves that can lower your tax obligation.
We have experience handling the tax affairs of ex-pats, foreign investors, and overseas workers. Here are a few ways Gurian can assist if you have foreign accounts or foreign income.
Complete the Required Forms
If you have income from sources outside of the US, or if you hold assets in offshore accounts, there are specific forms you must complete to adhere to IRS foreign bank account reporting requirements. These are the most common forms required for taxpayers with foreign assets or income:
- The FBAR (Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts Reporting)
The FBAR is a form filed with the Financial Crimes and Enforcement Network; this is a department of the US Treasury Department. If you have foreign assets that exceed $10,000 at any point during the year, the FBAR is necessary. You should file the FBAR if you have foreign accounts, assets, or securities that when combined, exceed the $10,000 figure.
- Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets
Another necessary form to adhere to IRS foreign bank account reporting requirements is the Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets. This is IRS Form 8939.
It's required for qualifying US citizens, residents, and businesses. Form 8939 is filed when your foreign assets exceed $75,000 at any time during the year or $50,000 on the last calendar day. These figures increase to $150,000 and $100,000 for married taxpayers.
- A US Tax Return
Every US citizen or resident has to file a US tax return. Your US tax return is where you report your foreign income and determine your tax obligation. You'll also have a chance to see if you qualify for credits or deductions that lower your taxes.
Take Steps to Lower Your Tax Obligation
At Gurian, we thoroughly go over your finances to make sure you're taking any allowed deductions, credits, or writeoffs. For example, if you pay taxes in another country on your income, you may qualify for the foreign tax credit.
The foreign tax credit decreases your US tax liability. We'll also see if you're eligible to exclude any of your foreign earned income.
File Late Forms
If you've neglected to file your FBAR in the past, let Gurian help you get your documents up-to-date. The sooner you file the applicable documents, the better. The longer you wait, the higher your potential penalties and interest.
Have more questions about reporting your foreign income or assets? Contact Gurian CPA Firm today to schedule a meeting!

I take 1mg XR every morning and .5mg PRN. It stops panic in its tracks and alleviates hypomanic symptoms when they break through the cocktail of drugs I take for Bipolar 2. I have been using Xanax for about ten years, but even at this small dose I have one side effect: learning and memory problems. I now take as few PRNs as possible and take alternative meds (Inderal and Dexedrine) before I attend a class or lecture. That seems to be working.↓
I have had severe panic attacks all my life. I don't even know how to explain what this makes you fell like, it's like you can't catch your breath, your hands start to go numb. My head goes numb.

Online football betting is a great way for fun and to make a lot through the game. You can bet on many sports and choose the one that will give you the most profit. It's easy to find a ufa book that suits your needs, thanks to the growing popularity of sports betting.
This is not all. There are also other risks associated with gambling. Here are five things to consider when betting on sites to make real money or for fun.
Precaution number, 1
Research the subject is the first. It is important to read reviews from different sportsbooks. Also, learn about the bonuses that they offer at the end. You will need to find out how much profit you can make, how much payouts you get, and what rewards you'll receive from the sites. This information will allow you to make the best decision about where to place your bets for a specific sport or event.
Precaution number, 2
It is important to know how long it takes for betting companies to release winnings after an event has ended. Some companies take longer to reveal the results.
Precaution number, 3
To see the difference between teams that are working and those that are not, it is essential to keep track of the results on paper. This will allow you to predict the winners more consistently by using the trend that is derived from the analysis of the static played by players and teams.
Precaution number, 4
Ufa is best avoided if you don't want to be greedy. If you try to make a quick profit, you will lose.
It can take time to establish trust with online bookmakers. Start with the lowest amount possible until you get familiarized with online betting.
Precaution number, 5
Also, all sportsbooks can be legitimate. We have seen many instances where bookies either shut down or take your money. It is recommended that you only use an online sports betting site that has been in existence for at least five consecutive years.
It is important to be cautious of scammers and fraudsters. Always read the warning signs on your computer. Scam sites are common these days and they will keep your money and never return it to you. While you might notice some fraudsters being caught, nothing is going to happen in their lives.
It is crucial to understand the risks associated with betting on sports online. Do your research and open accounts at multiple sites.

This morning, I got up early with the kids, did washing and cleaned a bit before hubby got up. He slept quite late as he always does on a Sunday. Distance again today. I'm tired. I tried being in his company, but felt no connection. The kids wanted to nap, but said we must all go lie on my bed. The kids and I went to my room and I was out cold very soon. Hubby left us to sleep. I woke up 2 hrs later, kids also still sleeping, way past the time we should be up since tomorrow is school and kids need to be in bed early, but we slept too late for any hope of them being tired enough to go to sleep on their normal time. I didn't judge or argue or even mention it.
Hubby was outside starting a fire for a braai. I woke the kids and stared with some foods we could have with the meat and as soon as that was in the oven, I went outside and sat with hubby. We sat together, but we did not speak much. I tried striking up a general conversation, but it dies down quickly. I didn't make another effort and the rest of the day was quiet and uneventful. We spoke when there was something to say, but we did not have a meaningful conversation since Friday evening. I left it. Hubby feels weekends are to relax, catch up on movies and I know sometimes (most of the time) I talk too much, so I just left it.
At bedtime I was still tired, but I had my prayer and devotion time. I love Proverbs, but my scripture was
13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
I realise He has added so much growth already, His scriptures each day has a new message. It feeds my soul, gives me hope. Thank you God for reminding me to stand strong on this journey, so that You may be glorified. Show me that even in times when I am tired, that I can still let your light shine through me before others. Give me renewed strength in You and let me never lose my "saltiness".
Seek to have Christ always fill your voids, your lonliness, your comfort.
I need Him always. Sometimes I feel so empowered - recharged, but then I look back on my day and see how many times I did not trust Him in charge and I feel like I failed Him. Like I have to start this journey all over again - Daily! But when I looked back at the dares, I realize that even though I feel like I fail (and I do), I can still see growth. Spiritual growth. And then your prayer - He will not love me less. I look forward to the day that I can honestly say, today I did not take it in my own hands once. And then I will take it one day at a time and continue to trust in Him. Even though I feel down now because I feel weak, friends have started to notice a difference in me. They like what the see, I have spoken to them about Christ and this wonderful journey I am on, and they too have taken up their Bible's again. So even in my weakness Christ has reached other people. I take refuge in that. And now I can take refuge in Him too, because I know He forgives me and he will not love me any less. What can I say.... Up or down....I'm a work in progress too!
We all are works in progress....

Handling Your Medical Expenses After a Car Accident
When a person is injured in a car accident, it is important for him or her to seek medical care. In the United States, of course, medical care costs real money. One of the most common questions after such an accident revolves around which party or parties are responsible for these costs. Depending on the details that led to your crash, the at-fault party is likely to be responsible for your medical bills, but getting your medical bills paid may take a substantial amount of time. What are you supposed to do in the meantime?
Covering Your Costs
Filing a claim for compensation in a personal injury situation is an important step, but processing the claim takes time. It is not always immediately clear who was at fault, and even if liability is clear, insurance companies often do not pay out claims immediately.
Your health, however, is most important, so you should not wait to get the care you need. Therefore, you might need to start by covering your own costs or having your medical care billed to your health insurance. You could also file a claim with your own auto insurance company to ensure that your bills will be covered while you wait for your personal injury compensation to arrive. If the at-fault party's insurance does come through, your health or auto insurance carrier can recover any money paid out in advance through a process called subrogation.
If you currently do not have any kind of insurance to cover your medical bills, a qualified injury lawyer can help you find doctors and facilities that will work with you in deferring payments until you receive your settlement. You may need to sign a doctor's lien or something similar, but your attorney can help you understand all of the requirements. If you are receiving bills for care you already received but have no way to pay them, your attorney could help keep collections activity to a minimum while your case is in progress. Any settlement you ultimately receive should include compensation for your medical expenses.
An Arlington Heights Personal Injury Attorney Can Help
With medical bills continuing to mount, you might be tempted to accept the first offer made by the at-fault party, their attorney, or their insurance company. Typically, it is a bad idea to accept the first offer. In many cases, a quick first offer fails to account for long-term medical needs, such as ongoing physical rehabilitation, psychological injuries, or pain and suffering. Instead of agreeing to a quick settlement, contact an Arlington Heights car accident lawyer at Newland & Newland LLP. Call 847-797-8000 for a free consultation and case review today.

There was once a little girl called Anastasia who was born in a very strict and poor family. She lived in a dismal little room in the attic and was only given leftovers for food every day. Every day, she would lie on her dirty couch and think of her foggy future before her. She once protested to her parents of her unfair treatment. But her parents would get cross at her, sternly refuse any of her demands and condemn her grouchy and unappreciated attitude. Every time, she would dash off back to her little room and cry. One day, she argued with her parents again. This time, after losing the quarrel, she was determined to leave the house and never come back again. First, her parents hesitated but soon gave her contemptuous criticisms and told her that it was an impossible act. They laughed at Anastasia with sarcasm and inquired her how she is going to pay bills for her meals every day. However, Anastasia has set her mind up. She walked out of the house with a little bag and left her disagreeable family and past behind.
As she was walking on the road; once again, wondering about her unclear future, she sat down on a bench and sighed. Indeed, she has got no money on her. As her head started to spin with frustration and anger, her stomach growled loudly and made Anastasia jump. She grunted and searched her bag for food and water. To her bewilderment, only a ripped, old book and a worn jumper could be sighted. Finally, she could take it no more. She threw her little bag onto the ground and wailed. Truth struck her like a sharp knife as she realized that she was actually missing her family and her dismal room at the attic.
2007-12-08 22:00:34 補充:
But suddenly, her parent's cynical remarks rang through her mind that sent Anastasia burning with rage.
2007-12-08 22:00:42 補充:
She could and will not forgive her parent's contemptuous sneers and ridicules in the past and she knew if she is to reunite with her family, they would at least have to get down on their knees and beg for her forgiveness, which she clearly knew is next to being impossible.
2007-12-08 22:00:55 補充:
She looked down at her shoes and knew they couldn't last any longer than 10 days, but all the random stuff she brought with her cannot worth more than half a piece of stale bread.
2007-12-08 22:01:09 補充:
She shuddered at the thought of being a homeless hag for the rest of her life but she knew there was nothing else she could do. As she was overwhelmed with all the hideous fears, a sudden thought of hope dawned upon her; she understood what there was to be done.
2007-12-08 22:01:23 補充:
She decided to sell matches. Although it was a burning hot summer day, she knew that people would feel pity for her outrageously tattered look and feel sorry for her being retarded for selling matches at the wrong time in the wrong place.
2007-12-08 22:01:34 補充:
Consequently, she went selling a whole heap of matches and bought an island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, and lived there happily ever after.
The end.參考資料: me (aussie)

Our Guide to Healthy Christmas Shopping
Contrary to popular belief, shopping isn't all fun and frivolity – it's hard physical work! You are walking large distances on unforgiving surfaces, carrying weighty bags, overheating, experiencing stressful situations, standing in queues and pushing yourself to the limit, perhaps against the ticking clock of Christmas!
Victoria Thompson, Chiropractor, explains: "It's important to recognise the physical strain of shopping. You hear people say they are exhausted when they come home from the shops – they are! It can be very enjoyable but there are sensible precautions which Christmas shoppers can take to avoid over-doing it."
Rosyth Chiropractic recommend that you:
Imagine you are entering a marathon and prepare accordingly!
Shop online for bulky or heavy items, or plan your shopping trip around these items. Pick them up separately to other goods and try to park close to the shop. Accept help where it is offered.
Shop local! Not only will you find great gifts in local shops, you don't have to carry it long distances!
Make a list and plan your shopping trip carefully so that you collect heavier things when you are on your way home
Warm up with a brisk walk before you start buying anything.
Wear sensible shoes to avoid back and neck strain – high heels are not advised for long shopping days.
Carry a well-fitting backpack or if you carry shopping bags, balance their weight evenly in both hands; better still, use a trolley!
Drink plenty of water
Take regular breaks and rests with a light, healthy snack – chopped up vegetables, fruit and hard boiled eggs are fantastic for eating on the go!
Make several shopping trips and buy a little each time, instead of trying to lug everything around on one big spree.
Avoid over-spending as this will cause further stress; we see a lot of people suffering from stress-related back pain around Christmas.
Consider making presents: you avoid cost, carrying heavy bags and stress!
Above all else, enjoy yourself! Remember Christmas isn't all about gifts and causing yourself unnecessary stress! Merry Christmas!
Should you require an appointment after your shopping, book online or call 01383249660!

As you may know, I love to cook with lavender. It is so aromatic, and adds sophistication to otherwise ordinary desserts. Lavender is also a favourite of my mom's, and so, in honour of mother's day, I made her these shortbread fingers infused with lavender and drizzled with bittersweet chocolate. The are buttery and subtly sweet, and the lavender flavour shines through, without being overpowering. Whether for mother's day, or any day, these cookies are perfect for an elegant afternoon tea, a thoughtful hostess gift, or a reward at the end of a long day. Lavender is said to relax the mind, so why not whip up a batch for someone in your life who needs a break from all the hard work they do for you. This recipe will make about 30 1″x4″ fingers. You'll need:
- 1 1/2 tbsp lavender flowers
- 3 cups white flour
- 1 cup rice flour
- pinch salt
- 1 pound room temperature butter
- 1 1/4 cups super fine sugar (fruit sugar, caster sugar etc.)
- 1/4 cup high quality bittersweet chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and line your baking pans with parchment paper so that it comes up the sides. I used one 9″x13″ pan, and one loaf pan, but you can use whatever you have around that will fit all of your dough. In a food processor, pulse lavender flowers until they begin to break down. Don't worry if many of your flowers are still intact, the purpose of the pulsing is mainly to release their aroma.By now, your kitchen should smell like heaven.
In a medium bowl, combine your lavender with both flours and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until they are fully combined.
In a large bowl, beat butter until it is fluffy. Slowly add in sugar, and continue beating until you have a light, airy mixture. With your hands, slowly add the flour mixture, and toss it together with your fingers until you have a crumbly dough.
Spread the dough between your pans, and press it down until you have a flat, even surface. Your dough should be about 3/4″ thick. Prick holes in your dough with a fork, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove your pans from the oven, and score your dough into rectangles roughly 1″x4″. Scoring the dough while your cookies are still soft will make it easier to cut them when they are finished. Return your pans to the oven, and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
When the surface of your dough is firm to the touch, your cookies are ready. Remove them from the oven, and score them again. Once they have cooled completely, cut them into fingers.
Now it is time to temper your chocolate. Tempering is a process by which chocolate is heated, then cooled, and then reheated to ensure that it crystallizes in the ideal form. To melt your chocolate, place 2/3 of it in a zipper bag, and microwave it for 20 seconds. Remove the bag from the microwave, and squish the chocolate around. Repeat this process until all of the chocolate has melted. Add the remainder of your chocolate to cool down the melted chocolate and squish it around in the bag. Once it has melted, microwave it for another 15 seconds.
Line up your shortbread fingers, cut a small hole in the corner of your zipper bag, and drizzle chocolate back and forth across your cookies. Don't go overboard: you still want the lavender to be the star flavour. Let the chocolate cool fully at room temperature, and prepare your cookies to give or serve.
Happy mother's day to all of the moms out there, particularly mine! I hope you take this day as an opportunity to relax, with or without the aid of lavender shortbread.

It's about choosing the right headphones that align with your meditation practice.
We're talking about features like noise cancellation, comfort, sound quality, battery life, and connectivity.
And, yes, even the price.
These factors can all play a role in either improving or decreasing the quality of your meditation experience…
And it's important to be aware of them before you take the plunge.
By the end of this article, you can be confident you'll be able to select the perfect meditation headphones for you.
Let's dive in!
Understanding Noise Canceling Technology
Principles of Noise Cancellation
Did you know there are two types of noise cancellation?
Imagine you're at a bustling cafe, trying to focus on your breathing and meditation, but all around you is the chatter and clang of the busy world.
It's important to choose the right type of noise cancellation for your environment.
Our story has two heroes: passive noise cancellation and active noise cancellation (ANC).
Think of passive noise cancellation as using sturdy materials to block sound by sheer physical barrier.
- These are your over-ear headphones that physically muffle the world with their design.
Active noise cancellation, on the other hand, is like having a superhero around your ear that listens to the noise around you and then creates a sound wave that's the exact opposite.
- This "anti-noise" cancels out the background racket, leaving you in a bubble of calm.
Now, why is this especially crucial for meditation?
Imagine trying to reach a state of deep relaxation with the sounds of construction and your neighbor's gardeners piercing through your focus.
- Noise-canceling technology creates a sanctuary of silence, enabling a distraction-free environment conducive to deeper meditation.
- Whether you're amidst the hustle of a city or in a lively home, ANC headphones can take your meditation experience to a whole new level.
- They'll ensure that what you do want to hear, like a guided meditation or calming music, comes through with superior sound quality!
- Good sound quality is vital; it makes the difference between feeling like you're in a serene forest or just listening to a recording of one.
The right noise-canceling headphones don't just remove unwanted noise; they enhance your audio experience, making your meditation session both deep and immersive.
Choosing the Right Type for Meditation
Selecting the perfect pair of noise-canceling headphones for meditation is like choosing the right meditation cushion – it has to be just right for you.
Active noise cancellation headphones (ANC headphones) are the go-to for most meditation enthusiasts, whether you're in a 'noisy' environment or not.
They actively work to cancel out the world's buzz, allowing you to focus inward.
But what about the different styles?
Over-ear headphones are like a cozy room for your ears, offering extensive noise cancellation and comfort.
On-ear headphones, while slightly less isolating, can be more breathable and lighter, which might suit some meditation postures better.
And then there are noise-canceling earbuds, which offer flexibility and minimalism, perfect for meditators who prefer not to feel like they're wearing headphones at all.
Ask yourself: where do I usually meditate?
Is it a quiet corner of my home or amidst the sounds of a city park?
ANC is often the better choice regardless of your environment, but being aware of the two different styles can help you make an active choice for your practice.
If you're curious about the different types of headphones and their benefits, check out this article titled 'Types of Noise Canceling Headphones for Meditation Explained'.
However, it's not just the noise-canceling technology that's crucial.
Comfort and fit also play a massive role in your meditation experience.
Even the best noise-canceling feature can't make up for headphones that feel like a vise on your head 5 minutes into your session.
Discomfort is a significant distraction, and as we'll explore next, the design, materials, and adjustability of your headphones are key to finding peace in your practice.
The Significance of Comfort and Fit
When it comes to meditation, comfort isn't just a luxury;
It's a necessity.
Imagine settling down for a long session, only to find your headphones pinching or the weight on your ears becoming a distraction.
That's why choosing comfortable headphones with an ergonomic design is so crucial. They become an extension of your meditation practice, not a barrier to it.
Material and Design Considerations
Materials play a big part in this.
Headphones with memory foam earpads, for example, mold to the shape of your ears and provide comfort that lasts through even the longest meditation sessions.
The weight of the headphones is also something to consider.
Lighter models can feel almost weightless after a few minutes, allowing you to dive deep into your practice without any physical distractions.
But let's tie this back to noise-canceling technology.
The materials and overall design don't just impact comfort; they also affect how well the noise cancellation works.
A snug fit with quality materials ensures that the noise-canceling tech can do its job, blocking out the world and allowing you to find peace in your meditation without interference.
Now, when we talk about ergonomic designs, we're looking at headphones that fit our needs as meditators.
Over-ear headphones, for instance, offer enveloping comfort and superior noise cancellation, making them a popular choice.
In-ear options, on the other hand, might be less intrusive for some, offering a sense of freedom and lightness that complements meditation practices.
Fit for Different Meditation Postures
Your meditation posture also plays a significant role in determining what kind of headphones will work best for you.
For those who sit or lie down during their meditation sessions, an adjustable headband is key. It ensures a comfortable fit that adapts to your head's shape and size, preventing any unnecessary pressure.
Ear cup rotation is another feature to look out for.
It allows the headphones to align perfectly with your ears, no matter your position, ensuring a comfortable fit for meditation that lasts.
But what about longer meditation sessions? Or do you prefer moving meditations, like walking?
Here's where the adjustability of the headband tension and the flexibility of the ear cups really come into their own.
They ensure that whether you're sitting still for an hour or moving around, your headphones stay comfortably in place.
I encourage you to think about your own meditation practices.
How do you usually sit?
Do you move around?
Sound Quality and Meditation
Impact of Audio Quality
When we talk about picking the right noise-canceling headphones for meditation, the relationship between noise-cancellation technology and audio quality can't be overlooked.
Think of it this way:
Effective noise-cancellation doesn't just block out the world; it also makes every note of your calming music or meditation music clearer.
This clarity is super important when you're trying to focus and find your inner peace.
A study by Burbano et al. (2024) highlights something interesting. They found that in VR-based mindfulness practices, the quality of sound plays a big role in the effectiveness of the meditation.
It's not just about being in a quiet space. It's about how the sounds you do hear—the ambient sounds—are as pure and clear as possible.
Why does this matter for meditation?
Well, if you're listening to guided meditations, binaural beats, or just the soothing sounds of nature, excellent sound quality can help you dive deeper into your meditation.
Like noise-cancelation, immersion is the key here.
Great sound quality can go a long way in creating an environment where your mind isn't busy trying to tune out distractions but actually engage with the audio, facilitating a deeper, more focused meditative state.
It's a huge meditation hack to slip into that blissful present moment.
Key Audio Features to Look For
Now, moving on to what you should keep an eye out for in headphones when you're considering the audio quality for your meditation sessions.
Look for headphones that offer not just excellent noise cancellation but also superior sound quality.
This means paying attention to noise isolation features—these help ensure that the ambient sounds in your meditation tracks are crystal clear, without any interference from the outside world.
What makes superior sound quality?
It boils down to several key audio specs, like the frequency range, driver size, and impedance.
Don't worry; you don't need to be an audio engineer to understand this.
Simply put, these specs affect how well your headphones can reproduce the calming music or ambient sounds you're listening to.
For meditation, you want headphones that can deliver a wide range of sounds clearly.
This ensures you get the full experience, whether it's the low hum of a binaural beat or the high pitch of birds chirping in a nature soundtrack.
Here's a bit of practical advice:
Think about the type of meditation audio you prefer and look for headphones that will enhance that experience.
For example, if you're into guided meditations with a lot of spoken words, clarity in the mid to high frequencies will be important.
But excellent sound quality alone isn't enough.
Imagine getting deep into a meditation session, and your headphones die because the battery ran out.
That's why the next thing we'll talk about is battery life and connectivity.
These factors are crucial for ensuring your meditation isn't interrupted.
Plus, stable connectivity means you won't get those annoying dropouts just as you're reaching a state of zen.
In wrapping up this section, we've seen how closely linked noise-cancellation, comfort, and sound quality are when it comes to meditation.
As we move forward, we'll get into how battery life and connectivity play into this mix to ensure a seamless meditation experience.
Keep these connections in mind as you weigh your options, and you'll be one step closer to finding your perfect pair of headphones for meditation.
Battery Life and Connectivity
Think about sitting down, ready to dive deep into your meditation, and just as you're about to reach that state of zen, your headphones die.
That's why battery life is so important. We don't want our meditation disrupted by something as fixable as battery life.
Importance of Battery Life
Long battery life means we can go into our meditation sessions knowing we'll come out the other side without any interruptions.
This is especially important for wireless headphones.
They need to have enough juice to last through longer meditation sessions and even throughout the week.
If they don't, it's like trying to run a marathon with no shoes!
Sure, you can do it, but it will be a lot harder and less enjoyable.
Ultimately, if your headphones keep dying, there won't be any ANC, comfort, or sound quality to enjoy.
It's all connected.
Long battery life ensures we get uninterrupted usage over a long period of time, which lets us fully enjoy the sound quality and comfort we picked out in the first place.
Choosing Between Wireless and Wired
Now, when it comes to choosing between wireless and wired headphones, it's like deciding between tea or coffee for your morning routine.
Both have their perks.
Wireless headphones give us the freedom to move around. No wires mean we can shift positions without those pesky wires bumping up against your arms.
(The wires not bumping into you is a super underrated perk!)
But then, wired headphones have their charm. They're reliable. You plug them in, and off you go. No worrying if they're charged. They're like that friend who's always on time. Dependable.
Just a quick note: Wireless headphones' sound quality has come a long way. But the audiophiles out there will swear by the higher quality of sound you can only get through wired connections. I can't really tell the difference, and not having any accidental contact with the wire is huge for me. But something to keep in mind.
So, how do we decide?
Here's what I think:
- Consider how long you usually meditate.
- Think about where you like to meditate.
- Reflect on whether you move a lot during your sessions.
These questions will guide you.
If you're someone who likes the freedom to move or meditate in different postures or even locations, wireless might be your best bet.
If you're all about simplicity and reliability, wired headphones could be the way to go.
We've talked about battery life and the whole wireless versus wired debate. But there's more to the perfect meditation headphones than just these basics.
Think of these (ANC, comfort, sound quality, battery life, connectivity) as the base of a great cake, and now we're about to add the icing and decorations.
Next, we'll talk about some additional features you could be on the lookout for. These aren't necessary, but good to be aware of in case you do want to prioritize for them.
Additional Features To Consider
When we dive into the choice of noise-canceling headphones for meditation, it's not just about blocking out the world.
It's about creating a space where we can focus and find peace.
Let's talk about some extra features that can make a big difference in our meditation experience.
Ambient Sound Control and Other Innovations
First up, we've got ambient sound control.
This one's cool because it lets us decide how much of the outside world we want to let in.
It's perfect for those times when we want to meditate but still need to be aware of what's happening around us.
Then, there's water resistance.
Now, you might wonder, "Why do I need my headphones to be water-resistant for meditation?"
Well, think about those times you want to meditate in the park or even during a light workout.
Water resistance means our headphones can handle a bit of sweat or a sudden drizzle, making them more durable and versatile.
And let's not forget about intuitive controls.
Imagine adjusting your settings without having to open your eyes or move much.
Some headphones have controls that let us do just that, with simple gestures or voice commands.
It means we can stay in our meditative state without interruption, which is pretty neat.
Now, tying all this back to what we've talked about before.
These additional features should complement, not compromise, the comfort and sound quality we've emphasized.
It's all about enhancing our meditation without losing focus on what's essential.
For instance, while ambient sound control adds flexibility, it shouldn't take away from the headphones' noise-canceling capabilities that help us find that quiet space.
And while we love the idea of not worrying about a bit of water, the headphones should still feel comfortable for long meditation sessions.
As we start wrapping up, it's worth thinking about how these features—both the basic and the advanced—fit with our meditation goals.
Every feature has its place, but the best choice for us comes down to what we value most in our meditation practice.
Do we need total silence?
Or we prefer a bit of the outside world seeping in?
Is durability a concern?
Or are we mostly meditating in a quiet room?
It's about finding that perfect blend tailored to our personal needs and preferences.
So, please take a moment to reflect on what matters most to us in your meditation journey.
It's not just about picking any headphones; it's about choosing the right tool to support our path towards mindfulness and peace.
Evaluating Price vs Value
Balancing Cost with Essential Features
When we talk about investing in headphones, especially for something as personal as meditation, it's all about understanding what you're really paying for.
I've seen folks go all in on expensive headphones, thinking they're the best, only to find they don't fit their needs.
It's not just about the price tag; it's what those headphones do for your meditation practice.
Quick Reminder.
Noise-canceling technology?
It's a must for drowning out the world and finding your center.
But if the headphones are uncomfortable, you'll be adjusting them more than focusing on your breath.
And sound quality? It's got to be clear. You're listening to guided meditations, not just any audio.
Battery life is another biggie. You don't want your headphones dying mid-session.
And don't get me started on wired vs wireless. The freedom to move without getting tangled? Priceless.
Which of these are going to make the biggest impact on your practice?
Making Your Decision
Putting it Together
As we wrap up our journey, let's take a moment to look back on everything we've talked about.
From diving deep into how noise-canceling technology works…
To understanding why the feel and fit of your headphones are so critical for your meditation…
It all ties together.
Think about how noise cancellation can actually make the sounds you want to hear, like calming meditation audio, even clearer.
It's not an overstatement to say it's life changing.
And remember how we talked about comfort?
Imagine settling into a long meditation session only to be distracted by uncomfortable headphones. *sigh*
- Noise cancellation enhances sound quality.
- Comfort is key for longer sessions.
- Each feature plays a role in the overall experience.
Each factor we discussed is a piece of a puzzle. When you put them all together, you get the perfect environment for deep meditation.
Personalized Recommendations
Now, let's get down to brass tacks. Making the right choice for you.
Here's what I think you should do.
Start by figuring out what's most important to you.
Like I've said before, I think ANC is a non negotiable.
But what about everything else?
Is it the top-notch sound quality for your mids and highs?
Or maybe you can't stand the thought of charging your headphones every other day?
Then, put together a list of headphones that has those features.
Once you've got your list, start comparing to see which headphones prioritize your more important features the most.
You'll quickly see which headphones offer value for money for your specific meditation needs.
- List your must-haves and nice-to-haves. If budget is a concern, limit your must-have to one or two features at most.
- Don't compromise on your must-haves for the price.
- Aim for the best value in your meditation practice.
I'm not saying to go out and spend a fortune.
But think about it this way:
Investing in the right headphones is like investing in your peace of mind.
If you pick wisely based on what really matters to you, you're setting yourself up for success.
This is the biggest mistake I ever made.
I cheaped out on headphones for MONTHS.
When I invested in my first legitimate pair, my meditation practice went from random and inconsistent to the daily practice it is today.
If you want to see what type of noise-canceling headphones I personally use and recommend overall, check out this article: 'Types of Noise-Canceling Headphones for Meditation Explained'.
So, take all we've discussed, mix it with what you know about yourself, and make a choice that feels right.
You might not get it right the first time. But the more you think these factors through, the more likely you'll get it right.
This isn't just about buying headphones. It's about enhancing your meditation practice and, by extension, your life.
Let's make it count, shall we?
The Value of the Right Choice
I've shared a lot about finding the right headphones for meditation.
It's about enhancing your meditation with headphones that fit just right, sound great, last long, and connect seamlessly.
The benefits of the right headphones are huge. They can transform your meditation from good to incredible.
Why does this matter?
Well, research by Zhu et al. (2023) tells us that mindfulness practices boost our well-being and quality of life.
So, choosing the right tools, like the right noise-canceling headphones, is key to deepening our mindfulness experiences.
Think of it this way:
The right headphones aren't just headphones. They're your meditation friend, helping you dive deeper, focus better, and find that peace and tranquility we're all after.
Let's Reflect and Act
Now, I want you to think about your own meditation.
What's important to you?
What do you need in your environment to help you meditate better?
Reflect on these questions for a bit.
Find headphones that don't just meet your expectations but exceed them. You've got the knowledge.
Now's the time to act.
Choosing the right headphones is more than a purchase.
It's an investment in your meditation journey, in your personal growth, and in your well-being.
Don't make the same mistake I made, settling for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th best when it comes to investing in my present and my future.
Here's to your meditation journey and finding the perfect headphones to accompany you on it!

I met Edward Enninful, the Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue and European Editorial Director of Condé Nast, in Paris, in January of 2019, at the first Haute Couture show of Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli.
I went to Paris exactly for that. To meet the most influential figures of the international fashion world and re-introduce me, my purpose, and my mission to become a Joy Artivist.
If you ask me now, I still don't know where I found the courage and the nerves to present myself to this mythical fashion figure, without having finished my site (it was still under construction), my services packages, and the whole business strategy supporting my new role.
But I did it!
It was a "now or never" opportunity. So here I was, standing in front of him, shaking, but still talking to him and discussing my new identity as Joy Artivist, Success Mentor & Concept Generator.
"NOW is the time!", said to me Edward Enningful (Editor-inChief of Vogue UK). "If not now, when?"
"I'm so glad to hear that", he said about my vision to motivate people to utilize their creativity in order to find their purpose and inner joy.
When I pushed the "Re-Start Button"!
And that was the exact moment that I realized that everyone is ready to hear more from me, from you, from anyone who has something new or clever to show. Companies, media, and funds are waiting for the next big idea to be presented.
But, as a friend told me once, everyone has a million-dollar idea, but only a few dare to start working on transforming an idea into an actual project. Only a few are willing to do the work. And I wanted to be among the latter.
It was at that moment that I realized that nobody would push the "Start" Button for me. I should be the one to push it, so as to move forward into becoming the one I was dreaming about.
3 years and a half later…
So, NOW, here I am having revealed to you my new platform, JOYKWORLD.com.
NOW is still the time for me to express myself and continue working on my new art (i.e. my Joyers, my Art Dialogues) & fashion projects, talking to you about my new identity as a Joy Artivist.
NOW is the time, more than ever before, to guide you, through my Success Mentoring sessions, in order to help you find your inner joy.
NOW is the time for YOU, too, to make your own steps, too! To reach out for your dreams and find joy in your journey…
The Exploration Zone
Some of you may feel that you are still not ready to admit your ambition yet.
But, I just showed what it means to share your dream with the right people, even if you are not ready.
And the news is that you will never be perfectly ready, nor even close to ready, because as time flies, you'll come up with new ideas and a new version of what "ready" means.
NOW is the time for you to raise your hand & grab that opportunity that lies in front of you.
You don't have to be perfect, know everything, or have every little detail of your idea fully figured out & tested already.
You just have to make that little step from your comfort zone to that amazing "in-between" time frame, that I call Exploration Zone. The place where you start talking about you having a new idea, you daring to make a difference, you making a change.
The Exploration Zone is an amazing area, where you can be expressed freely, a time when you explore what suits you and what is not, a way to find out more about yourself and prepare to make the big move towards your dream.
How to Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
So, if you are stuck in your comfort zone and need someone to encourage, support, and guide you to further explore your business ideas, don't miss the opportunity. I highly encourage you to get support. Whether that be a friend, a coach, or a mentor, just don't go without, not in this area of life.
STOP thinking that listening to podcasts, reading books and watching YouTube videos is your work now. Doing all of those things is learning the work, but doing the work is actually living the work.
Now is the time to not just absorb all of that info and become a knowledge library, but to turn that knowledge into wisdom and put it into play.
If you are stuck in the cycle of information consumption without application, you are not alone.
I have prepared, just for you, three customizable Success Mentoring sessions.
So, if you've been wanting to work with me and make these changes in your business and want to reinvent yourself and step into a more powerful, confident, and clear version of yourself, NOW IS THE TIME!
When is the right time to start?
It's not Monday neither January. But, it's September and an amazing opportunity for a new start!
NOW is the time to look up, to improve in whichever area you choose to become better, isn't it?
"We tend to focus on the destination all the time and forget about the in-between spaces. But without these mundane spaces that nobody really pays attention to, these grey areas, one cannot get from point a to point b." says the artist Doho Suh.
For those of you who are in between, wanting to get from point a to point b and need guidance to make a transition in your business life…

Writing a research paper is much like writing a poem. When you read a poem, the significance comes from the lines. If you write a research paper, you build the poem using the language tools available today. You don't start out with the words; you begin with the notions. Here are some tips for research paper writers:

It robs us of productivity.
It steals our motivation.
And it can get out of control.
Let's look at our bodies like a simple machine which happens to make its own energy… and this particular machine requires a lot of energy.
The issue is that the energy is limited and is often directed to the most critical areas of our bodies which deal with life and death issues. Fighting off foreign invaders and fixing damaged tissues are at the top of the list. Unfortunately, the systems in our bodies which balance hormones, regulate weight, regulate sleep and keep us feeling calm get short-changed by the immune system. Understand that the immune system is our ally. It is our friend. Right now it is coordinating the production and removal of millions of cells this minute. Imagine all of the superintendents, maintenance people and trash collectors in our country. Now imagine how many are in the world. They are working to fix problems, improve damage and maintain function. There has to be millions of people working on every building, road and machine that exists. This is just the way the immune system works under ideal conditions.
The gut represents the small and large intestines. They are responsible with policing what gets absorbed into the blood which could potentially help or potentially harm our health. They are powerful, strong and capable but like any physical thing they have their limitations. They can be overloaded and overwhelmed. When toxic things like pesticides, hygiene products, beauty products, medications, environmental pollutants and most of all mental stress are introduced into this delicate system malfunction is sure to follow.
The barrier that protects the bloodstream from toxins can and does become worn down. Just imagine a garden hose with pin holes in it. What does it do under pressure? It leaks. Little streams of water shoot out. This is just like what happens to the gut when its interior wall becomes toxified, stressed, stretched and overwhelmed. Then the real problems begin. The toxins invade the blood, find their way into every single organ, system and cell in the body. These things are definitely not supposed to be there. This triggers the healthy and appropriate response of the immune system called inflammation. The immune system has scouts which tag and label the invaders then the combat begins. The immune system sends out its troops to rip the invaders apart and to gobble them up. This is a normal response which also takes a lot of energy. The catch is that it is just supposed to be temporary.
When something is on-going or constant it is referred to as chronic. Chronic activity of the immune system creates chronic inflammation. Just imagine the crowding of ordinary body systems, organs and cells congested and jammed up by the soldiers deployed by the immune system. Imagine living in a country which has an active war being fought in the streets where we live, shop and work. Living normally would be impossible right?
The reality is that war costs energy. Think about a country at war that is being invaded let alone fighting a war in another country. It is an unbelievable drain on the resources of that invaded country at war. This is a perfect example of what happens to our over-worked and under-paid immune systems when the gut is weakened, beat down and leaking. This sad state of the gut leads to serious problems such as diabetes, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular disease, dementia, chronic pain, chronic fatigue and more. It's all about chronic inflammation and the devastating effect it has on the body.
So… what to do?
The simple idea is to strengthen the gut wall's defenses so that the reason for the chronic inflammation is eradicated. Removing the pesticides, toxic beauty products and stress and replacing them with healthy gut-promoting practices is crucial. This is a great foundation. The reality is that due to the unnatural substances that affect the gut so profoundly there often needs to be a more profound or deeper way of examining the damage and imbalance that has occurred within the gut. Extreme problems call for extreme measures. Extraordinary stool testing and high quality food testing can reveal hidden causes of gut dysfunction that basic good health practices can't remedy. Finding a stool test near you is easy. For the best results, include your exact location in the search. For example, search for "advanced stool test near me".
We can get started and help our gut today by ditching the toxic beauty and hygiene products, choosing only organic pesticide-free foods and taking a serious assessment of our mental stress and its triggers. This is how we can create a foundation of good health practices so as not to burden the gut unnecessarily which likely results in chronic, joy-robbing fatigue.
What to do if we still have persistent fatigue?
Good news! Natural healthcare providers whose focus is on gut health abound. Getting the right natural help through specialty stool and food testing for stubborn fatigue can bring happiness back into the lives of children and adults struggling with fatigue.

I often get asked how do I know I have anxiety and it's not normal worry or stress? Because we all know there are times in our lives where we can feel worried and stressed about lots of situations. However, the difference is that anxiety is a persistent worry, stress, fear or nervousness. Lots of people feel anxious at some point in their lives when facing stressful situations and it can be a natural response that we feel we are in some sort of danger because of this stressful situation. However, if these continuous feelings of anxiety impact your day-to-day life, then you may have an anxiety disorder.
Another way of describing anxiety is that it is the feeling you get when you have a worry that you can't get out of your mind. This worry becomes part of your everyday thoughts and you begin overthinking it so you do not have time to think about other things. Or you may be feeling anxious that something bad will happen to you or your loved ones or perhaps you have a fear of something and cannot stop worrying about that fear. Sometimes you may not even be able to explain why you are feeling the anxiety.
Looking out for these signs can determine if anxiety is a problem.
- Difficulty in concentrating
- Difficulty relaxing
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- Experiencing intrusive, unwanted thoughts or images that you struggle to get out of your head
- Worrying about practically everything
- Becoming easily annoyed or irritable
It's quite astonishing to think how many different sensations can be triggered by anxiety and how different parts of the body can be affected. Here is a list of the most common bodily sensations:
- Your heart may beat faster or harder
- You may experience excessive sweating
- Your chest may feel tight or painful
- You may have blurry vision
- You may have a dry mouth
- You may experience icy cold or sweaty hands or feet
- You may experience shaky or trembling of the arms and legs
- You may have churning or fluttering stomach
- You may feel nauseous or even vomit
- You may have a horrible headache
- You may feel dizzy, light-headed or faint
- You may feel tense, restless or unable to relax
The 3 F's
What are the 3 F's? It's normal to experience anxiety when we feel like we are in danger and your body will automatically respond with one of the 3 F's; Fight, Flight or Freeze option. Are you aware which one of the F's you experience in situations like this?
Anxiety is such a big topic, that I will be covering different sub topics around this subject over the next few blogs, so keep an eye out for them!

People around the world care about green energy and are finding ways to promote it. Some folks are leaving this to politicians, but the reality is that change won't come unless a number of people stand up and demand it, which is what the following will help you do.
What to Do at Home
The first thing you can do to take action is to let your money speak. Make sure the money you spend on your home goes towards the green energy movement. Large companies that don't want green energy to rise have power because normal folks like you purchase their products either directly or indirectly.What you can do is find ways to stop doing this, like by relying on solar energy. All you have to do is find out how much do solar panels cost, come up with the cash, have the system installed, and stop relying on or reduce your use of energy sources that might be contributing to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
You can also take action by purchasing items that will reduce your energy usage, like using energy-efficient appliances or hand crank appliances. You could also make bigger purchases, like an electric or hybrid vehicle that should reduce your reliance on fossil fuel as an energy source. Investing in alternative energies is one way to stick it to energy companies that are not doing the right thing for the future.
How to Convince Your Neighbors
The next thing you'll have to do is convince others they should try to do the same. Of course, what you say will depend on who you are talking to. Each person may need different information to be persuaded, but some people may be interested in what you are trying to do.Well, one thing you can discuss is some green changes you've made to your home and how things are working out, which could lead some of these people to take action themselves. Some people may be more interested in other aspects, like how much money you have saved or will save in the future with your alternative energy.
A good chunk of people are worried about the money they spend on energy costs, so you might want to share that solar energy can cut their energy costs by a significant amount, which can make some people curious. Some people may just need to hear how easy the transition really is or how much it costs so that they see how easily they can make the switch as well.
How to Take Political Action
The next step you are going to have to take is political action to help propel the future of renewable energy. There are a few ways you can do this, like you can simply vote in local and national elections, choosing candidates that support renewable energy.You want to hear that these political leaders are willing to invest a significant amount of money and power into the renewable energy sector. This is going to help ensure this industry continues to grow and evolve with today's energy demands.
If you want to take things a little further, you can actually get involved in getting these politicians elected. You can do that by calling potential voters or knocking on doors on behalf of the politicians you believe in.
You could also get involved with political climate change action groups that are there to unite the voice of people who care about these issues so that you are all heard by politicians. You may connect with people in these groups who can encourage you to keep going. You can also donate to the groups or politicians you believe in to give them a chance to fight on your behalf.
Helping the world change and rely on green energy is not going to be easy. There are a lot of folks who are making billions off of the old way of creating energy who are going to fight back, but you can't give up. Do your best to stay focused, and let your money talk for you. Your voice should be heard. Now, go ahead and fight for a greener tomorrow.

You probably have a pretty good idea what you would like to find under the tree Christmas morning. But, what would your dog like to find under there?
You are planning to buy a present for your dog, aren't you? 'Man's best friend' and all that, certainly your dog deserves a Christmas present. All year long, he or she has provided you with comfort and companionship, as well as unflinching loyalty. Think of the hole in your life if your dog wasn't there. Think of the appreciation they'll show when they discover that one of those fancy-wrapped presents under the tree is for them.
So, we can agree that you should buy something for your dog this holiday, but what? Keep in mind that dogs aren't concerned with the cost of a gift. You don't even have to worry about pulling off the price tag; your dog will be so excited he or she won't even bother looking to see what the gift cost. But, this doesn't mean you shouldn't give your dog's present some thought.
The possible gifts you can give your dog can include the following, but this list could go on and on:
- Chewies and rawhides
- Dog cookie treats
- Squeaky toys
- A new leash and collar, and the promise the you and your dog will use it more often
- A sweater to keep them warm through the winter months
- Doggie booties
- A dog massage
- Some socks tied into knots
- A new brush
- An old shoe you would otherwise throw out
- A new pen
- A certificate for a week at a spa-like kennel (while you're away somewhere)
- An appointment with the dog groomer
- A new dog dish
- A new doggie bed
- A ball they can fetch when you throw it again and again and again
- A treat ball that you fill with their favorite snack
- A coupon for an hour or two of petting and belly scratching
- An appointment with an animal communicator
- A new doghouse
- A new frisbie
As mentioned above, this list can grow and grow. And spending more really won't buy your dog more happiness. With dogs, it truly is the thought that counts. However, you should be very concerned about safety.
Don't buy a Christmas present for your dog that will get lodged in their throat. Make sure that whatever you get them doesn't cause any allergic reactions. Use common sense and get something they'll love without any hazards. Wrapping is optional – your dog probably won't care.

A HELOC typically charges a variable interest rate tied to a benchmark such as Prime Lending Rate. You only owe interest when you tap (use) your credit line. A HELOC often has a 10-year "draw" period when you can borrow against it, before you must start repayment. A HEL is typically a fixed-rate loan with a set payback period of five to 10 years or so.
I don't quite understand your situation but it sounds like you owe about $10,700 in high interest credit card debt. Is that right? If you can get into a debt management plan to pay off all that debt at a lower interest rate, and the monthly payment on the DMP is affordable, I would say go for that and forget about this 22% interest loan which is very expensive.
The Credit Advice pages of the Site may contain messages submitted by users over whom Credit Karma has no control. Credit Karma cannot guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of any such messages. Some users may post messages that are misleading, untrue or offensive. You must bear all risk associated with your use of the Credit Advice pages and should not rely on messages in making (or refraining from making) any specific financial or other decisions.
Unlike traditional debt consolidation loans, a nonprofit debt management program can help you lower your interest rates and consolidate your credit card payments, even if you have bad credit. That is because a debt management program isn't extending new credit or a loan to you. They are simply helping you bundle your payments and make them on-time, and helping you lower your interest rates, despite a poor credit history. Why? Creditors may see you as a bankruptcy risk. By giving helping make your payment more affordable with lower rates, and supporting nonprofit debt consolidation programs, the creditors are attempting to prevent you from defaulting on your debt.
The last step you need to take before petitioning the court is to read Form B2010. This notice gives a brief review of each type of bankruptcy, lists costs associated with filing and lists the debts that cannot be discharged with each type. As of 2018, the cost for Chapter 13 filing and administrative fees totaled $310 (not including attorney fees).
Our last tip for fast credit repair that we are going to talk about is about removing any financial dependencies with individuals with poor credit. If you are currently tied by a car loan, mortgage, credit card, or any other line of credit with an individual that has poor credit, this can most certainly impact your credit score. On top of this, if you are planning on co-signing or being a guarantor for an individual, both will impair your credit score as well. It has been proven by financial experts and gurus that, through cutting any bad financial connections with other people, it can be one of the fastest ways of credit repair. We do advise to make this decision carefully as it can easily cause turmoil between two people.
Aside from all things finances, lenders and agencies will also consider your living history. While this is not typically disclosed, it's a facet that must be taken into consideration. Are you the type of individual who moves from location to location? Have you lived in the same home for over 10-15 years? Chances are, if you are categorized in the latter, lenders will be more interested in helping you. Keep in mind, lenders are taking a deeper looking into individual characteristics and traits. An individual that continues to move may be inconsistent or risky. If you are quick to move from location to location, are you quick to spend all the credit lent to you?
Write a letter to the specific credit reporting agency that shows the falsehood, whether it is Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion. Explain the mistake and include a copy of the highlighted report along with your documentation. Although certain bureaus now let you submit disputes online, it's not a bad idea to send this letter by certified mail, and keep a copy for yourself. The reporting agency has 30 days from the receipt of your letter to respond. The Federal Trade Commission provides advice on contacting the credit bureaus about discrepancies. Here are the contact numbers and web sites for the three credit bureaus:

The rest of things are somehow like satellites. Starting from the two points you can find the meaning, the happiness, the harmony. They are fundamental. Take care of yourself and others around you ", concludes cardiologist Vasi Rădulescu, known as a writing doctor, and in 2018 designated" The best communicating doctor "at the COPAC Gala.
Watched by over 100,000 people on social networks, Vasi Rădulescu writes about experiences in the hospital and tries to convince people to use credible sources of information when it comes to health and medication. Vasi Rădulescu is the author of the books "Dear heart" and "Colors of oblivion", being the founder of leapşadesănitatea.ro, a medical education project.

What does it take to be your own boss? What does it take to be an Entrepreneur? That word, Entrepreneur, scares people. It's a big fancy word, for big fancy people. It has a mystique about it, an association of wealth and power. French is like that, over inflated and important sounding. Really, all it means is one who undertakes, or manages an enterprise. Usually it's associated with running a business. The actual meaning is less impressive and much less frightening sounding. The reason I go to the trouble of explaining this is to illustrate the fact that once you know what a thing is, it's a lot less intimidating than it first seems. Running a business is the same. It sounds intimidating and incredibly hard, but the truth is, with the Internet, running a business can be no more frightening than sending email.
There are companies set up to do all the heavy lifting for you. You've probably gotten email from a lot of these companies telling you that you can be rich in as little as 24 hours. Truth be told, most of these companies are looking to line their own pockets at your expense. There are exceptions, and they can be found with some searching. Entrepreneurs are driven That brings me to the first attribute any Entrepreneur needs, drive. Anyone who really wants to be their own boss is driven to do it. You don't just wake up one day and decide, 'Hey, I think I'll start a business, let me check my email for one'.
A real Entrepreneur wants to be in charge of their own destiny. They need to make the decisions for their life and their work. They understand that they will never get the money they deserve, working for someone else, and that the higher the risk, the higher the reward. These are people who know what they want, even if they don't yet know how they can get it. That's fine, you don't have to know the exact process to getting what you want, you just have to know what it is that you want. You learn the process as you go. It's all in the details Knowing what you want is more than simply saying that you want a lot of money. Everyone says they want to have a lot of money, Entrepreneurs say exactly how much money they want to have, and when they want it by. That goes for more than just money. Entrepreneurs specify exactly what they want, no matter what it is, down to the last detail.
This concept sounds foreign to most people at first, after all how can you be specific about something you don't already have? The truth is, you've probably done it yourself at one time or another. Let's say you want a house. Will just any old house do for you? Probably not. You have needs and desires about the kind of house you want, especially if it's your dream house. You know for instance how many floors it should have, if it has a basement or not, and if that basement is finished. You know the type of neighborhood it will be in, even if you don't know the exact one. You know how much land it sits on, and if it's flat, grassy, forested, or mountainous. Inside the house, you know how many bedrooms it has, and what floors they are located on. You know how many bathrooms you need, or want, and if one of them is a Master Bath next to your bedroom. You (or the person who does most of the cooking) know where the kitchen should be located, and most likely its exact layout for ease and efficiency. Does this house have a garage? How big is it? Is there some sort of workshop in or next to the house, for hobbies? These are all things you've already thought about, no matter how far off it seems. These are details that help you to manifest the perfect house for yourself and your family.
Now, take that attention to detail and put it toward your perfect business. Don't worry about what the actual business is yet, instead think about the details of your life that the business will give you. First off, it'll allow you to buy or build that house. That's a detail. Now, what else will it give you? Perhaps it's the freedom to be at home and work. Perhaps you want the ability to travel to far off places, and how often you could go. With details about the life you want your business to give you, you also have an idea of how much money you'll need in order to get those things. This is how you work out the details of how much money you want to make, and how fast. If you want to be able to take a trip to Europe for a month by next summer, find out how much it will cost to get there, and prices for accommodations, and don't forget spending cash.
Now you have a good idea of how much money you'll need. You also have a goal. Goals are one of the most important things an Entrepreneur has. Goals tell you what you need and when. They also tell you how far along your plan you've come. If you set goals for yourself, you are much more likely to succeed because you'll know if you're getting off track, and no closer to your goal. Create the details of the life you want your business to give you. Don't skimp. Stop the doubt from entering your mind. Every time you think, 'Well, I'll never be able to do that', or 'I could never get that', or 'that can't happen', you reinforce your fears and doubts, and isn't it those doubts and fears that have kept you where you are? Entrepreneurs think big If you ever want to be a successful Entrepreneur, you have to think like one. It starts with how you think of yourself. If someone asks you what you do, what's the first answer you think of? If you have a job, it's going to be your occupation. If you're unemployed, you probably get embarrassed about it.
Your self image, how you think of yourself is the biggest challenge to being a successful Entrepreneur. If you asked Donald Trump what he does, he's not going to list out all the projects he has going, he's simply going to say that he's an Entrepreneur. That is the same leap you must make. Stop using your job, or lack of a job to describe yourself to others. When someone asks you what you do, tell them you're an Entrepreneur! Don't worry about having a successful business yet, or even a business at all, it's not required. All you need is the confidence to answer that you are an Entrepreneur. If they ask what it is you do exactly, you can simply say, "I'm in to a lot of projects." If you can't confidently tell someone, be it a stranger, or someone you know, that you are an Entrepreneur, you'll never be one. This is the first hurdle in a very long race, you'd better get over it if you plan to finish. Success really is a mind game. If you don't think you can be successful, you won't be. Only by changing how you look at yourself, can you begin to change how you look at other things. If you aren't successful, how can you ever hope to have the money and lifestyle you desire? Before all else, you must see yourself as successful.
It doesn't matter how small the success may be, celebrate it! The first time someone asks what you do, and you answer that you're an Entrepreneur, celebrate it. Celebrate the fact that you've cleared that first hurdle. Celebrate that your mindset is changing and you are on your way to the things you deserve. Winning the mind game The things that you feel you deserve are the things you will find a way to get. Entrepreneurs will do whatever it takes to get what they want. If you want it bad enough, you'll do whatever it takes to get it. Speaking as a man (and being male, I can't speak for women) when I was young, I never dated. I didn't have a single date in high school, I was too shy. What girl would ever want to go out with me?
After high school, I realized that the people who I spent my time around most, didn't have the history that everyone I knew in school did. I could be anyone I wanted to be. I watched the guys who were successful with women. I studied what they did, and how they did it. These were guys who had a different 'girlfriend' every week. After all, if they could get all these women to spend time with them, they must know something. To make a long story short, I learned what it takes to get a girlfriend. First, you can't be afraid of rejection. If one lady says no, go to the next one you think is attractive. Don't tie your self-worth on one woman saying yes. I learned that when a woman says no, she's not rejecting you as a person, she's just not interested. I learned to continue looking.
Never tie your self-worth to anything where failure is a possibility. Remember, failure is not just an option, it's a requirement! You will fail, it's inevitable. It's what you learn from the failure that determines how successful you are. Learn the lesson that the failure has to teach you, and you'll never suffer the same failure again. When I learned not to sound desperate when asking a girl out, no matter how desperate I really was, I found that I got yes for an answer a lot more. If you don't tie your self-worth to anything that might fail, you can take the failure in stride and go to the next idea. Eventually, you will succeed.
No one becomes successful overnight, or without failing. Learn to fail gracefully, without loss of confidence, and you have succeeded! Successful people are successful because they believe they are successful, that is the real secret. Does that mean that a failure doesn't affect them? Not at all. You will be affected by failure every time it happens, just as a guy is affected by a pretty lady turning him down for a date. He finds her attractive, he wants to get to know her better. If she turns him down, that can't happen, but if he doesn't tie his self worth to her answer, he's less affected by the failure. As long as he doesn't think she is telling him he's a worthless person by saying no, he can continue on. (Ladies, I'm giving you a secret here, the male ego really is very fragile.) Everything is connected
It's no coincidence that I've used dating as an example for success in business. First, there is no such thing as coincidence. Everything happens for a reason. Life is full of lessons, the ones we learn, never need to be repeated, those we fail to learn, will always be repeated. The lessons you learn while figuring out how to ask someone out, are the same lessons you need to know to be successful in anything else. Believe in yourself, don't let others tell you that you can't. Find supportive people to spend time with, and stop spending time with those who say you can't. If your spouse is one of those people who always tells you that you can't, perhaps you shouldn't be married to them.
It's always easier to believe in yourself, if others also believe in you. Change your attitude, and if need be, change your friends. Successful people hang out with successful people. Surround yourself with successful people and you must be successful yourself, or you will feel inferior. Challenge yourself by making your current situation feel uncomfortable. By spending time with others who you view as successful, you make your current situation seem less than desirable. This will cause you to change the situation. If you're going to parties at large houses that friends own, you're not going to invite them to your house until you have a house that you feel is adequate. Since friends expect to be invited to your house now and then, you're going to do whatever it takes to get the type of house you can be proud of.
The more uncomfortable your current surroundings become, the more you'll work at changing them. Being successful really is all about attitude. Stop settling for less than you really want. Figure out exactly what it is that you want, in detail. The more detail you create, the easier it will be to get. It'll also be harder to settle for less than everything you want.
This isn't everything it takes to be a successful Entrepreneur, this is just the first step. If you create the attitude of success, detailed goals, and learn from your setbacks, you will be successful. Don't give up. Work harder at this than you've ever worked at anything before. Everything else comes as a result of a successful attitude.

If you are under 18, please make sure you have your parents' permission before providing us with any personal details.
Whenever you decide to have sex, the most important thing is for you to be comfortable with your choice, and to make sure you are doing it for healthy reasons.
When you are considering having sex with someone – whether you've had sex with the person a hundred times, it's your first time taking part in sexual activity with that person, or it's your first sexual experience with another person at all – it's important for you to feel comfortable with whatever decision you reach.
Many people feel a little nervous before they have sex with someone they haven't had sex with before, and this is natural. However, these nerves should be linked to anticipation and excitement rather than fear or panic. Having sex should always be something that you want to do and you are looking forward to, not something that causes you anxiety or distress. If the idea of having sex with someone is stressful, then it might not be the right thing for you at that moment in time.
What we mean by 'sex'
Often, when people talk about having sex for the first time they mean having penetrative vaginal or anal sex. At Brook, when we talk about sex, we are usually talking about all forms of sexual contact between two or more people: this could include penetrative sex, oral sex, fingering and using sex toys amongst other things.
When you are trying to decide whether to have sex with someone, ask yourself why you want to do it. Here are some examples of reasons why you might want to have sex that we at Brook think are healthy.
This is really fun and a very common reason for wanting to have sex! It is natural to want to act on fantasies about a person when you fancy them, so as long as you are practicing consent, then go forth and have a great time.
There is no right or wrong way to have sex with someone, as long as it is consensual, and there is no rulebook which says you need to know the person really well or be in a relationship with them. As long as you trust them, having sex with someone who you haven't known very long, or who is a friend, can be a great way of expressing and enjoying your sexuality.
Just make sure that, no matter how 'casual' or 'serious' your connection with the person is, you are communicating and setting boundaries, and always prioritising consent.
Sex can be a wonderful way of feeling intimate with someone, as it takes trust and vulnerability and is an exciting way of sharing physical touch with another person. It is also worth remembering that there are other ways of feeling physically intimate with someone, such as
All of these, and more, can heighten your sexual experiences with someone, and if you don't feel like you want to have sex with your partner this doesn't mean you can't still be intimate with them.
Having sex with someone can be a great way of enjoying your body and sexuality, and finding out what makes you feel good.
If you want to explore your body and sexuality but aren't sure if you feel comfortable doing this with another person, masturbation can be a really great way of doing this (and is fun to do anyway!)
Find out more about masturbation here.
Here are some examples of reasons for having sex which might be signs that you aren't ready to have sex with this person.
This is manipulation and is not okay. No one should be pressuring you into having sex with them for any reason.
It is fine for someone to feel that sex is important to a relationship, but this is never an excuse to pressure someone into having sex, and they should value the time they have with you regardless of if you are having sex or not. If someone is pressuring you into having sex with them by saying they will leave you if you don't, then they might not be a kind or healthy person for you to be in a relationship with.
If this is happening to you then speak to a friend or trusted adult. You can also speak to Childline on 0800 1111 or chat to a counsellor the Childline website.
Read more about abuse.Read more about consent.
You don't owe your partner sex, ever. Even if you have had sex with them before, it is fine to decide every single time if you want to or don't want to have sex with them again.
There are plenty of ways of being intimate with someone, both physically and emotionally, and your partner should value you for who you are, not for your ability to give them a particular type of intimacy. After all, it is only true intimacy if you are both comfortable and enjoying the experience!
There is no right or wrong amount of time to be dating someone before having sex with them; it's down to what you and the other person want, and what you feel comfortable with.
Some people want to wait, others want to get right in there. It really depends, but it helps to be very aware of your own feelings and the reasons why you want to sleep with someone. Doing it to impress them or to make sure they stay with you aren't good reasons, and neither is following an arbitrary script of when things 'should' happen in your relationship – every person and therefore every relationship is unique, and you don't need to do anything at a particular point unless you want to.
While sex can be a really fun and affirming experience, if you are seeking validation and support through having sex alone, then you might be displacing your need for companionship or feelings of self-worth onto an experience which probably won't live up to those expectations.
You don't need another person to confirm your value, and sex is an unhealthy way to seek that validation – you are a person worthy of love and appreciation regardless of your sexuality or ability to have sex. Focus on loving yourself, and ask your friends for support if you are struggling.
You don't need to do anything just because your peers are doing it. Everyone has different and unique feelings about sex, and feel ready to have sexual experiences at different points – and some people aren't interested in having sex at all! All of this is totally fine and normal, and the only person you should be trying to 'keep up with' is yourself. Your friends should love and respect you no matter how often or little you have sex.
It's normal to want to fit in and be a part of a group. It makes you feel accepted and can build your self-esteem.
At some time or another most people will feel pressured to do something they don't feel comfortable with just because 'everyone else is doing it'. With some things it can be easy to deal with peer pressure, but other things, like sex, may be more difficult.
Know yourself. A big part of avoiding being pressured into doing something you don't want to do is knowing yourself. Knowing what you want and what you don't want sexually, and being aware of your feelings can help you make the right choice for yourself. Take some time to think about what's important to you and what you value.
Stand up for yourself. One of the worst reasons for doing something sexual is because you think everyone else is doing it. You should never do anything you don't feel comfortable with. Having sex should be a free choice made only by you and only because it's what you want.
Be yourself. Just remember that you're an individual. How boring would it be if everyone said and did the same things? If you resist pressure to do something you don't want to do, most of the time people will end up respecting you for it.
Sex and Consent
The most important thing if you do decide to have sex is consent. It's important that everyone involved is consenting at all times – no one should ever feel they have to do something they are not comfortable with or don't want to do. Just because you have consented to one thing doesn't mean you have consented to something else, and it's completely OK to say no or stop at any point if you don't want to continue. Read more about sex and consent.If your partner changes their mind, it's OK for you to feel disappointed, but if you're so unhappy that your partner feels they have to have sex in order to cheer you up, this isn't consensual.

Whether it's called "The Great Wealth Transfer," "The Silver Tsunami," or some other catchy sounding name, it's a fact that a tremendous amount of wealth will pass from Baby Boomers to younger generations in the next few decades. In fact, it's said to be the largest transfer of intergenerational wealth in history.
Because no one knows exactly how long aging Boomers will live or how much money they'll spend before they pass on, it's impossible to accurately predict just how much wealth will be transferred. However, studies suggest it's somewhere between $30 and $90 trillion. Yes, that's "trillion" with a "t."
While most are talking about the many benefits the wealth transfer might have for younger generations and the economy, fewer are talking about the potential negative ramifications. Yet there's plenty of evidence suggesting that many people, especially younger generations, are woefully unprepared to handle such an inheritance.
In fact, an Ohio State University study found that one third of people who received an inheritance had a negative savings within two years of getting the money. Another study by The Williams Group found that intergenerational wealth transfers often become a source of tension and conflict among family members, and 70% of such transfers fail by the time they reach the second generation. Regardless of whether you'll be the one passing on wealth or inheriting it, you must have a well-prepared estate plan in place to prevent the potentially disastrous losses and other negative outcomes such transfers can lead to. Without proper planning, the money and other assets that get passed on can easily become more of a curse than a blessing for you and your loved ones.
There are a number of proactive measures you can take to help reduce the risks posed by the coming wealth transfer. Beyond putting in place a comprehensive estate plan that's regularly updated, openly discussing your values and legacy with your loved ones can be a key way to ensure your estate planning strategies work exactly as you intend. Here's what we suggest:
If you haven't created your own estate plan yet—and far too many of you haven't—it's essential that you put a plan in place as soon as possible. It doesn't matter how young you are, how much wealth you have, or if you have any children yet—all adults over age 18 should have some basic estate planning vehicles in place. If you have yet to get your estate plan started, meet with us, your Personal Family Lawyer® right away to get this crucial first step handled.
From there, be sure to regularly update your plan on an annual basis and immediately after major life events like marriage, births, deaths, inheritances, and divorce. Unlike traditional estate planning professionals, when you work with us, we maintain a relationship with you long after your initial estate planning documents are signed.
Indeed, our Life & Legacy Planning Process features proprietary systems designed to ensure your estate plan is regularly reviewed and updated over your lifetime, so you don't need to worry about overlooking anything, as your family, the law, and your assets change over time. Be sure to ask about these systems during your visit.
Don't put off talking about wealth with your family until you are in retirement or nearing death. As soon as possible, clearly communicate with your children, grandchildren, and other heirs what wealth means to you and how you'd like them to use the assets they inherit. Make such discussions a regular event, so you can address different aspects of wealth with your family as the younger generations grow and mature.
With everyone gathered under one roof for the holiday season, right now is the ideal time to have this discussion. If you feel anxious or uncomfortable talking about wealth with your family, reach out to us and ask for our help.
As we covered in our previous article on how a recession can affect your family, we have processes and systems specifically designed to support you in having these delicate conversations, with far more ease than you trying to do everything on your own. We can even facilitate these discussions with your loved ones, if that's something you are interested in.
And when you do have the conversation with your loved ones, focus the discussion on the values you want to instill, rather than what and how much they can expect to inherit. Let them know what values are most important to you, and try to mirror those values in your family life as much as possible. Whether it's saving money, charitable giving, or community service, having your loved ones see you live your most important values is often the best way to ensure they carry those values on once you are no longer around.
Outside of clearly communicating your values, you should also discuss the specific purpose you want your wealth to serve in your loved ones' lives. You worked hard to build your family wealth, so you've more than earned the right to stipulate how it gets used and managed when you're gone. While you can add specific terms and conditions for your wealth's future use in estate planning vehicles like Trusts, don't make your loved ones wait until you're dead to learn how you want their inheritance used.
If you want your wealth to be used to fund your children's college education, provide the down payment on their first home, or invest for their retirement, tell them so. By discussing how you would like to see their inheritance used while you are still around, you can make certain your loved ones know why you made the estate planning decisions you did. And having these conversations now can greatly reduce future conflict and confusion among your family about what your true wishes really are when you are no longer able to explain your wishes.
No matter how much, or how little, wealth you plan to pass on—or stand to inherit—it's critical that you take action now to make sure that wealth is secure and offers the maximum benefit to your family. As your Personal Family Lawyer®, our Life & Legacy Planning Process is designed to ensure the wealth that's transferred is not only protected, but that it's used by your loved ones in the very best way possible.
Moreover, every estate plan we create features a built-in legacy planning process, which ensures you can communicate your most treasured values, lessons, and life stories to those you leave behind. That's why we call our services Life & Legacy Planning, not just estate planning. These intangible assets form the foundation of your family legacy, and they are often what we value most of all when it comes to our inheritance. Unfortunately, most estate planning lawyers focus little, if any, attention on such assets. But we are not like most estate planning lawyers.
As your Personal Family Lawyer® firm, we will serve as your trusted, lifelong guide to ensure you make a lifetime of wise, forward-thinking choices for yourself and those you love most. And we will offer your loved ones the support they need to make the most important legal and financial decisions when you are no longer there to guide them. With our expert, caring counsel, you can rest easy knowing that the coming wealth transfer will offer you and your loved ones the most benefit possible, with the least amount of risk. Schedule your visit with us to get your Life & Legacy Plan started today.

Ever the optimist, Janie wore capri pants and a light blouse. Helios blessed her for it. The sun shone down, warming what started as an icky day.
Most of the irritating people she expected to pester her in the office early in the day had planned for weather and dawdled around in a precipitous mood. They never quite made it to her desk.
When eleven thirty rolled around, she grabbed a jacket and headed out to a cafe three blocks away.
Usually the cafe bustled with activity. The threat of rain must have kept everyone away, she thought. Oh. Not quite everyone.
A handsome but unusual looking man with a shaved head and brown skin sat at a table by himself. He glanced at her and grinned.
She smiled and looked away but he waved her over. Janie joined him.
"I'm so glad you came here today. I was beginning to think I would have to eat all alone and here I am spending lunch with a compelling young woman," he said.
Janie couldn't place his accent. She couldn't place him at all but his charm, Oh, his charms.
"I'm Janie," she said.
"You can call me Rus," he laughed.
When the waiter came and took their order, she asked if Janie and Rus wanted the extra garlic.
Janie shrugged involuntarily. "No, I take supplements for that. Thanks though."
"I've already had some today," Rus laughed.
His eyes were always filled with laughter. She felt it ran up his ears, there was so much of it.
The waiter took their order and left them alone.
"Not a fan of the fangs, are you?" he smiled.
She shuddered. "No. I don't get why people think they're romantic. Living on the blood of humans … yuck."
"Some people think the age difference is a little creepy."
"Yeah, I guess."
"Doesn't bother you as much?"
"No, I'm ok with older men."
He laughed, heart light as a feather.
They ate a light lunch and Rus charmed her into taking a walk with him.
A loose brick tripped Rus and he fell over into the alley.
Janie shrieked.
For the moment Rus stood in the darkness, he looked … like a wrapped dead body.
"I'm sorry, Janie," he smiled. "I didn't mean for you to find out this way. It's not something you tell someone in the first five minutes you know them."
"That's really … weird. I didn't know mummies … like vampires. I—"
"It's ok. It's a shock, I know. There used to be more of us but humans ground many of us into powder to make a certain dye. Only a few of us escaped."
"Hey!" a voice behind them shouted. "You're the one who shouted, right?"
She shook her head, "No!"
The stranger swung a shovel with the tag still on it.
Rus's eyes flashed red.
The man sunk to the ground, dead.
"With powers like that, how could they get you?" Janie said.
"I'm vulnerable if I go to sleep," he shrugged. "And certain times I must sleep. We were sacred in my time and the kings and royal family still had elaborate protections considering the time."
"So, you're—"
"I hate to interrupt you, my dear, but we'd better part and leave before someone discovers the corpse."
"Tomorrow? At the cafe?"
He smiled. "If the sun is shining."

On this thirteenth birthday, Joshua's grandma snuck him into his grandfather's library. His grandfather wouldn't have minded had he been alive, but Joshua's parents might.
"You can have any three books in this library—any at all—provided you read three that I choose first and give me some proof you've read them."
"What? Like a book report?" Joshua loved reading, but hated book reports.
Grandma laughed. "No. I'm sure you'll have some ideas what to do as proof once you've read them."
Joshua worried about his grandma. She had given him a handwritten book of spells.
It didn't include any nonsense about meeting with the devil at a crossroad at midnight, but it definitely had spells and incantations.
He set it aside for a few days.
And then he punched a school bully out of school. The bully told Joshua he was going to press charges. If there was any chance a forgetfulness spell Joshua had seen would take care of the situation … well, Joshua would do it.
He gathered the ingredients, practiced the incantation, and tried very hard not to feel silly. The next day, the cast the spell on the bully. To Joshua's surprise, it worked. Of course, the bully couldn't even remember his name, but still.
Joshua put the book away for a few weeks just to be on the safe side. Once it was clear he wasn't going to be blamed for the bully incident, he practiced magic with a fervor.
Joshua had always enjoyed werewolf stories and motifs. After mastering dozens of spells, he came across one to make himself a werewolf.
It seemed like the perfect project to prove to his grandma that he had read the book, too. He had to master spells and potions throughout the book in order to pull it off.
Weeks of preparation went into the project. He set the day before the full moon as his goal for completion. His werewolf charm would let him change whenever he wanted to and with some effort he could stay human on the full moon.
Still, it was traditional.
He asked called his grandma and asked if she could come by the next day. She agreed and he set the spell in motion.
When she came over, he stopped holding the transformation back.
Instead of changing to a wolf, though, he changed to a hedgehog.
Grandma busted out laughing. "Oh, Joshua. I can't tell you how many witches I know who have become werecats the exact same way. In a few more books, I'm sure you'll figure out what you did wrong."
Joshua sighed. He was pretty sure he knew what he did wrong. He ambled off to play with Pete, his pet hedgehog.
Being a werehedgie wasn't nearly as bad ass as a werewolf but he decided it was still pretty awesome.

One day the prophet of the goddess Krabbit brewed a pot of what we shall call tea. He—his name was Zedula—did this every day and so it's only barely worth mentioning.
However, just after brewing the pot, someone knocked on his door so hard that the pot tipped over and spilled all over the floor.
Zedula said words which were, fortunately, forgotten.
He picked up the pot and poured the last drippings on the mud floor before starting another pot boiling.
Someone knocked again.
"Go away. No new messages from Krabbit today," he shouted.
"Can I come in?" a voice said.
"Are you Zedula?"
The voice paused. "No."
"Are you Krabbit?"
"No, most certainly not!"
"Well, then. You may not come in. Go away."
The voice returned daily to disturb Zedula's tea. Zedula developed excellent hand eye coordination and eventually saw the knocks as a sort of tea timer.
After a few weeks, Krabbit visited. She is invisible but showed herself to Zedula as an older Ztedot to Zedula to make their visits more pleasant.
"Hello, Krabbit," he said. "Just in time for tea."
Just then, Zedula's tea timer knocked.
Krabbit's eyes grew wide.
"Please put your eyes back the way they were," Zedula said. "They're quite disconcerting that way."
Krabbit's eyes returned to normal Ztedot size. "What was that?"
"Someone who keeps knocking on my door and demanding an audience."
"Can I come in?"
"See? Exactly like that."
"What do they want?"
"Well, in mostly. After that, I'm not sure."
"Humor me?"
Zedula poured Krabbit and himself cups of tea and then shouted, "Oh, alright. Come in you gigantic butt rug."
Krabbit maintained her composure. Mostly.
A youngish Ztedot walked in and promptly abased himself before Zedula. The Ztedot kneeled down and began chanting something which sounded suspiciously like, "Oh wise and powerful prophet of Krabbit."
"Hey, now. You'll set us off our tea if you keep that up," Zedula said.
"I didn't know you had company, prophet," the Ztedot said. "I can come back tomorrow."
"No, no. Please don't. Besides, the only reason I let you in was because—uh, Karulo asked me to find out what you wanted."
Krabbit smirked.
"I want to follow in your footsteps. To be your successor one day."
"I'm pretty sure you're doing it all wrong," Zedula said.
"Please teach me. I'll do anything you want."
"What I want is for you to go away and stop knocking my tea over. It seems what I want and what you want are at irreconcilable odds."
"I—I could make your tea!"
"That would take all the fun out of tea."
Krabbit put a hand on Zedula's arm.
"What?" he asked her.
"Let him study with you," she said.
"But why? He's the exact sort of person… Krabbit put me here to avoid dealing with."
Krabbit froze the acolyte momentarily.
"It will blow his gasket a little too much to hear this too early. I think you'll do a better job of teaching me to deal with the Ztedots if you have someone who treats you the same way they treat me," she said.
"Oh, alright."
Krabbit unfroze the acolyte.
"Ok, what's your name?" Zedula asked.
"I'm Merrapput, oh holy one."
"First lesson: never call me that or any of the other bizarre things you've been calling me. Krabbit calls me Zedula. You are no better than she is."
Merrapput looked shocked. "I—"
Krabbit smiled. "I see you're too busy today, Zedula. Tell my friends to prepare for a rough winter."
"Good bye, lady friend of pr—Zedula," Merrapput said.
"Good bye, Seedling."
The next day Zedula addressed the Ztedots with Merrapput by his side.
"I have spoken," Zedula said with sarcastic gravity, "With Krabbit. She says it will be a tough winter."
Later, Merrapput asked Zedula when he'd spoken to Krabbit.
Zedula rubbed his head. He had the sneaking suspicion Merrapput was a little oblivious.
"You know Krabbit is invisible," Zedula said. How do you know she's not occasionally inaudible?"

Anton ordered the LIT and Wilson ordered a fashionable beer.
Wilson started on his beer as soon as the bartender slid it across the bar.
Anton looked skeptically at his LIT.
Wilson laughed. "What?"
"Hotel bars, never quite trust them."
"It's an LIT. What could go wrong?"
"Yeah, and I bet the bartender has never heard of Long Island."
"Dude, why'd you—"
Wilson looked away, jaw agape.
"It's her, dude," Wilson whispered.
"Her who? And why are we whispering?"
"Debbie who?"
"Debbie … dangerpants."
"What the hell? You're not serious about this are you?"
"Isn't she exactly what I described to you?"
Anton surreptitiously looked at the woman. "No."
"Oh, come on."
"You said she had raven hair."
"Well, ok, I got that detail wrong."
"This woman is a natural redhead. Also, you said she was just a little shorter than you."
"Dude! She's totally almost my height."
"'Dude,' our bartender fits that description better."
The bartender—a man with stylishly miss-managed hair and more than a few day's stubble—glared at Anton.
"Oh, crap. She needs help."
The woman left her drink on the bar and walked to the entrance, phone in hand.
"She's calling someone and doesn't want to be rude. If not being 'That American' means she needs help, you should help me first."
"No, no, no, dude," Wilson whispered. "She's doing spy stuff."
"How the hell do you figure?"
Wilson didn't answer. He walked to the wall and put his back to it.
Anton watched him stare around the bar and guessed Wilson had an eye out for anyone trying to harm his favorite 'spy."
Anton stood up and walked to the bathroom. After he zipped up, he heard shouting in the other bathroom. A woman shouted "Oh, come on, Melody. You know dad always said I'd get the car!"
He couldn't hear the responses. "Must be talking on her cell," he muttered.
Anton walked out of the bathroom. The woman Wilson focused his creepy attentions on no longer stood in the entrance.
Wilson nursed his beer, looking straight ahead at bottles of liquor.
'Debbie' stepped out of the bathroom.
Anton sat next to Wilson.
"You want to talk about it?"
"Debbie's real. I swear."
Anton sighed.

A club about one and a half meters long.
Its base structure is tleeka wood infused with a preserving regret spell. Fortunately, regret magic has been forgotten so this regrettable weapon can never be duplicated.
The wood of the club has been reinforced with three slender metal plates which run from just above the handle to the uppermost edge of the weapon. The nails which fasten the plates to the wood are rumored to have a regrettable gleam, but it is the opinion of this researcher that the placebo effect plays a role in this fanciful speculation.
Hurd the Mighty commissioned the creation of this weapon after noticing how bright, talented, and annoying Krezzik was. Hurd had no interest in the weapon beyond its usefulness in teaching young Krezzik a lesson.
Krezzik dropped the club on his toes about half an hour after completing the weapon and regretted it instantly and permanently.
The spell intrinsic to the club's operative magic converts however much regret the wielder is willing to bear into additional force. Since no one wielded the weapon in it's fall onto Krezzik's toes, he was obligated to a considerable amount of regret. And, of course, commiserate levels of toe pain.
The club wouldn't give you more regret credit than you were likely to live long enough to pay off. It rightly guessed Krezzik had a good seventy years left in him.
Hurd the Mighty died in child labor and didn't leave enough money behind to pay for the club.
Krezzik regretted making the club even more-so. He didn't sell it, though. The club's mechanism was forgotten when he died. His estate sold the club to pay off debts.
The first buyer worked for a bank which found foreclosure an easier method of destroying its enemies. It sold the club for what would have been a fairly cheap price for a non-magical club. Urick Velsicn bought the club and was promptly attacked by rival war lords.
The bludgeon of regret determined Ulrick wouldn't live long and he didn't. He also died with no regrets.
His eldest daughter, Gamma, inherited the weapon. She was told it had been her father's favorite, but Gemma's uncle had stolen his actual favorite: a dagger blade named Yrri. He'd been told it was elven steel. You and I, of course, know it was no such thing.
Gemma was no fool and as soon as she was strong and talented enough to wield the bludgeon of regret skillfully, she challenged her uncle for the blade.
While she didn't know the secrets of her father's bludgeon any better then he had, she wanted only enough strength to slightly kill her uncle. She managed that easily and regretted it for about two months. Why she regretted it at all, she could not say. Things had gone well for her in the aftermath of her uncle's death.
She even found taking over her father's trips to his concubines quite pleasant.
When she grew old and it was time to pass all of her conquered land, goods, and livestock on to others, the forgotten bludgeon went to the great granddaughter of Gemma's uncle. The granddaughter knew nothing of it's history in depriving her of a great grandfather so it was both a kind gift and a final "cluck you" to the man who tried to steal Gemma's birthright.
Chaffa had occasion to use it only once and didn't manage to pick it up before being perforated by crossbow bolts. The intruder, Mylan, carried the bludgeon off with her money and a few fineries.
He discovered the power of the bludgeon after killing a fly cracked a mountain, but didn't discover the connection between the regret and the power until he had accrued twenty years of regret.
He tried to kill himself with the club but it barely tapped him, not wanting to give up the emotions Mylan had inadvertently promised.
For three hundred years, the bludgeon passed from owner to owner making its users powerful, feared, and thoughtful.
Its last known owner, Mick Yearly, intentionally lost the bludgeon on a coming of age quest he intentionally failed so he could become an actor.
We are led to believe he didn't regret a thing.

Humanity—the rich, influential, and those useful to the rich and influential anyway—left me behind.
Not just me. Millions like me. Poor people and those with no allure.
The meek inherited the Earth but they didn't leave us much left when we came into our own.
The oceans would kill a normal human and the important people killed so many pieces of the food chain that it's all we can do to tend the Earth and keep it up.
It's not all bad, though.
I'm a geneticist. I created a series of useful viruses to modify the abandoned to make up for the holes in our ecosystem.
None of us are unchanged. Some live in the ocean, others replace wild predators. Almost all of us can digest the standard toxins and output healthy soil.
Sixty years since they left and Earth looks almost good again. We look nearly alright. Some of my more adventurous progeny have even built a star drive.
They'll find the other children of Earth some day.
I'm faced with a choice.
I can unleash a virus that will give my children—my beautiful grotesques—the sniffles but wipe out any unmodified human who contracts it.
Or I can let the people who abandoned us go.
If not for their innocent children, the choice would be a simple one. But if it weren't for my innocent children, I might not care at all.
The vial slipped from my hands. I reached to grab for it ... but maybe I'm not so meek after all.

THE CLEANING LADYMike Hudson leaned back in his office desk chair and propped his feet up on the top of his desk. With the phone cradled between his shoulder and ear he scanned a report while waiting for his party to answer. This was life in the new age of business! It was a nonstop twenty four hours a day go go go world. Ten years ago he never would have dreamed that his whole life would have revolved around what was happening on the Tokyo stock exchange! He was just in the middle of a conversation with an associate in Japan when his eye caught a movement down the hall from his office. He finished up his business and went to investigate. Padding down the plushly carpeted hall he peeked into an empty office only to find a black cleaning woman diligently going about her business. She was startled at his appearance at the open door and stammered, "Oh, Mr. Hudson, you scared me!" "I'm sorry," he replied, "I should have known you were part of the cleaning crew, I'll let you get back to work!" With that he gave her nice smile before returning to his own office. As he settled back down behind his desk he couldn't help but notice that he had and incredibly hard erection forming a tent in the front of his pants. He rifled through a stack of papers while trying to get back to the business at hand but was unable to shake the feeling of arousal that had enveloped him.An hour later and lost I thought Mike literally jumped when a soft knock on his door frame followed by a soft, "Do you mind if I do your office now?" "Yours is the last one." "Uh, yeah, sure," he replied, "I'm just about finished here anyway." "Thanks," she replied while bending over to get some supplies from the lower shelf of her cart. Mike groaned softly while staring at the woman's huge ass struggling to break free from her work dress. "What in the heck was the matter with him??!" he asked himself. This woman was at least twenty years his senior and to put it mildly was bit a little on the hefty side! He desperately tried concentrating on his work but to no avail as sweat had begun to break out on his forehead! The woman turned around, and after giving him a large smile offered, "You don't look so good!" "Are you sure you're all right?!?" He was out of his mind!!! He knew that he could lose his job but it was like someone else had taken over his body! Like watching an accident happen, he felt himself stand up, unbuckle his pants, and then to his utter incredulity exposed his thick erection to the stunned woman's eyes!!! Thankfully instead of running screaming from the office she said softly, "My oh my, we ain't got no meat shortage here, do we?!?" He gulped audibly and with a dry cotton mouth stammered, "I-I don't know what came over me, I'm so sorry!!!" The rotund woman giggled softly and replied while making her way around to the other side of the desk, "Don't be, it's been a long time since I've tasted such a nice young cock!!!" She smelled of cleanser and furniture polish, but it made no difference at all!!! Her meaty hand reached out and gripped his hard cock like it was a life line! "What is it, baby!?!" she whispered softly. "You like Mona's big fat ass or her big tits?!?" "I-I like them both!!!" he gasped while she fisted his thick cock. "Hmmmmmm," she hummed, "maybe you'd like to see'em?!?" "Ohhhhhhh god," he moaned. "C-could I, I mean would you let me see them?!?" "Why not!?!" she chuckled while releasing his meat while undoing the front of her work dress. "Good fucking god!!!" he gasped when she opened up her front to expose her bra encased monsters. "H-how big are they?!?" "As big as your fucking head, white boy!!!" she replied while reaching around to undo the four heavy duty clasps. "Are you ready!?!" With his hand literally flying up and down his fat prick he swallowed hard and groaned, "Oh yesssssss, please show them to me!!!" With a small smile on her full lips Mona almost casually let the monster white cotton bra fall away, allowing her massive mammaries to flop heavily onto her big round belly! Without even asking his free hand snaked out to caress the incredible globes of dark tit flesh!!! Her nipples were unbelievable!!! As big as the end of his middle finger and at least a half and inch long!!! The look on his face must have said it all as she offered gently, "Does mama's baby wanna suck some hot tit?!?" "Ohhhh yes!" he moaned while practically diving head long into her enormous bosom. After a taking a moment to get situated she cradled him in her thick arms while feeding him a super engorged nipple! "Mmmmmmmm, just like a good little boy," she cooed softly. "Mama just loves having her tits sucked!!!" Mike thought he must have died and gone to heaven!!! She was right about another thing, too! They were as big as his head!!! So for the next five minutes or so he nursed at the huge nubs like there was no tomorrow! While casually playing with his hard pecker, she made sure not to get so frisky as to get him off! When she had had her fill of his oral servitude she gently pushed him away and offered, "I think I have something else for you to suck on, okay!?!" After pushing him back down into his chair Mona stepped all the way out of her tan work dress, leaving her standing there in just a pair of oversized panties! "You ever suck a black cunt, Mike?!?" she asked softly. He shook his head from side to side, totally mesmerized by the incredibly buxom!!! "I'm glad," she replied while shoving her utilitarian undies down over her huge thighs. "I wanna break you in just right!!!" With his mouth now hanging open in stunned silence he watched in absolute awe as she plopped her enormous ass on the edge of the desk and then slowly spread her heavy thighs wide apart!!! To say she had a hair pie would have been and understatement!!! This black Amazon literally had a forest of jet black pubic hair bursting from every square inch of her dripping wet crotch! While using one hand to steady herself while leaning back on the desk top, she used the other one to casually spread open her bulging sex organ! "Nice and pink!!!" she giggled, "And good enough to eat!!!" Like a magnet is attracted to metal he eagerly leaned forward and buried his open mouth into her yawning maw!!! He hair was stiff and prickly but he paid it no mind as he slurped and licked the fat black pussy like it was the last one on the face of the earth! His tongue went into overdrive as he bored in on her wonderfully fat clitoris! While her breathing was becoming more labored he glanced up only to find that she had taken one of her heavy breasts and pulled a hard nipple into her own hot mouth! Jesus christ he was going out of his mind!!! He knew she was close, and in a fit of passion leaped to his feet and buried his hard cock into the steaming cauldron that was her over heated pussy!!! Her eyes literally popped out of her head as he quickly began powering in and out of her with almost brutal efficiency!!! "M-my fucking god in heaven!!!" she gasped. "Fuck me with your white pecker, stud boy!!!" His head was rolling from side to side on his shoulders as he gasped, "I'll fuck your hairy black cunt until you cum like a fucking black whore!!!" Mona's pussy was lurching out of control as Mike slammed his thick cock in and out of her like a fucking maniac!!! Her gigantic breasts bounced wildly on her plump belly while both sets of sex organs started to shudder!!! "I-I'm almost there!!!" he gasped while plowing her like a fresh field. "M-me too!!!" she moaned. "C-cum with me, baby, have a nice big one with mama!!!" The mere sight of Mona's huge breasts and incredibly hot cunt were more than poor Mike could take! His cock convulsed hard three or four times as incredible jets of hot cum rocketed into Mona's super engorged cunt! Sensing the big cock spasming inside of her signaled her own organ to wrench hard around the thrusting invader, inducing a brutally satisfying climax in her hot burning quim!!! Both of them stood there for a moment unable to move!!! Finally, when his legs couldn't take it any longer Mike stumbled backwards and collapsed into his chair while Mona fell back onto the desk with her legs still splayed wide apart and a trickle of warm jizz oozing out of her well fucked cunt! "T-that was unreal," Mike stammered while still trying to figure out how all this had happened. "Mmmmm, yes," the cocoa colored woman sighed, "and to think that you're here every night………." "Mike just chuckled and replied, "That's right, baby, every night!!!" |

Asked on Oct 8, 2017
I painted my paneling and one wall I sponge painted a light mint green a bit deeper green and a rose color. Well I got new furniture and my husband refuses to paint the entire family room. Would it be silly to paint one wall a different color, may be a color that is in the pillows? I was thinking of painting a little deeper teal color but don't want the room to look small. Any ideas?
- CJon Oct 8, 2017Hi Nancy, Yes you can paint one wall (or two) a different color than the other walls! They call that an accent wall. You could go with any complementary color you like. Dark colors don't anyways make the room look smaller. Try out some sample paints to help choose the color, if you need to see it on the wall to decide, then you could see how the colors look in different light throughout the day and with your lamp light at night. Good luck, and please post photos when you are finish!
- Avi Helleron Oct 8, 2017just asking - are you sure you want to keep him?
- Min29356703on Oct 8, 2017Get a power roller (it loads the paint for you on the roller) check offer up or Craigslist .It's easier and faster and paint the whole room yourself while he is at work. HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO DO IT.
- Nancy Whitneyon Oct 8, 2017Use small 6 inch roller and long handle, screw on. Paint small section at a time. Get Valspar paint with primer in the paint. Goes on smooth. Be beautiful....

I was late to the meditation game. I was first exposed to the idea in the late 90s when I was grieving my daughter's death. My therapist recommended it and I gave it my best. My best consisted of sitting/laying in bed, trying to "focus on my breath" and achieving one of two outcomes: Getting completely carried away in thoughts, or falling back to sleep. I didn't get it.
Fast forward after reading James Clear's powerful book Atomic Habits in 2017, I put his methods to the test. Atomic Habits is a "how to" guide on installing or deleting habits. Clear (in addition to other writers with expertise on the subject) suggests that if you want to install a habit, consistency is more important than intensity. Make the new habit so easy, you can't fail. Then follow the momentum by making incremental gains.
So I set an intention to meditate for one minute every morning. Eventually that expanded to 10 minutes. Over the years I have trained myself to meditate for longer periods than that, but for some reason 10 ish minutes seems to be the right amount of time for me.
I read somewhere that (paraphrasing) "Meditation is not about UN-Plugging, it's about Plugging In." Hmmm. I thought it was a way to "check out" or "get a break" from reality.
Quite the opposite. Speaking now from my own experience, meditation is about going deep and slowing our minds down. It's about training our minds to NOT be captive to all of the thoughts that run rampant when we DO slow down. It's about being here, now.
There are endless resources to learn about meditation if you are so inspired. But it can be challenging to commit to a disciplined practice if you haven't reaped the benefits yet.
The best way I can describe my own practice is this: It's like going under water, where you can still hear things but they are muted. There is a calm, slowed energy that takes over the noise and endless stimuli in our environment. I am confident this is an idiosyncratic experience and we all have our own unique manifestations of the practice, there is no "right" way or "perfect" practice.
I am sharing this concept because my meditation practice brings me great peace, although it took 2 decades for me to actually dive in. It's not about an escape, but rather a presence, showing up in the current moment, just as it is. Plugging In to what is here, and now with acceptance and non-attachment and setting my mind at the start of the day.
If you have dabbled with meditation and not seen the point, don't give up! Try setting aside one minute per morning for a month or two, and look for evidence that "plugging in" before you go out into the world has an impact on your day and how you respond to it.
PS: A kitchen timer is a great way to capture and expand your time so you are not holding your phone, or looking at the clock.

There could possibly be some points that one could bargain about whenever you go your very own business but your website is simply not one for them.
Your web site is the substantial, reside small business master card! If you do not own an on the web presence, possibly even for the offline business, you're aching your business which usually means aching yourself.
Main steps you can expect to take is to purchase a domains name. You should use your identify if the idea is straightforward to spell, because people will usually automatically look at that first of all. I accomplish usage this is my big name, as well as it is certainly challenging so that you can pill, nevertheless it backlinks to my favorite primary blog. If people are purchasing a name, other than your personal name be sure that it is simple and easy pill. People might moreover get the different variants.
Let me simply give one ideas for where to get started.
-Is that clear instantly who your company's target current market can be? Who seem to you operate with?
-Is it distinct right away exactly what issues an individual solve available for you future clients?
-Is it sharp right apart what exactly end up readers can certainly expect to accomplish?
The various other problem is that will your header, your head line needs that will be jazzy, sharp and clear. This may not be a spot you desire people today betting. Truly, they don't require the chance guess, they may simply possibly be removed.
Which means that much associated with what My partner and i i am suddenly thinking about right now is so that you can point out to anyone that men happen to be occupied, people are inpatient. You get hardly anything time period to glimpse their consideration. I learn that might sound ridiculous along with it wasn't always in this way but there is an overload data out generally there and also require to find a way for your own to be noticeable. And 1 manner is usually to possess a really apparent and clever site designed to catch individuals attention. Amazingly there are generally a great many websites the fact that don't do what we all tend to be suddenly thinking about as well as wondering exactly why not everybody comes along of course, if some people do come they may continue being.
Right here is something which you discover me conversation about quite frequently and is actually vital:
-You must have a good opt-in box but it has to be over a fold (people don't would like to scroll along, they normally won't browse down)
-Your opt-in field should really summarize the outcomes they will will comes from your give
-When men and women give you their own company name and even netmail you need to allow them something besides your ezine. You'll want a lilac spoon, 100 % free gift that you just give people today automatically by using autoresponder (not through your own personal email. )
-Be absolutely sure to have a very clear coverage statement talented people you will not sell, book or loan your e-mail and title
When anyone are publishing your replicate for your current blog retain it simple and easy clear. It's not a time to get elegant thoughts as well as field vocabulary. Consumers may browse; they will not look over just about every single expression. People can vivid important statements and keywords so any time they do check they will also ensure you get your concept.
Can there be 1 proactive approach on each page? There really should be an opt-in page in each page to your website. Create know wherever someone will probably land at your site.
Always keep your site clean along with professional hunting. Ensure this is very easy to study without just too many (or just about any at all) bells and whistles that will make individuals get away from your web site. The following is additionally which is where is actually important so that you can recognize your current marketplace.
The particular sat nav at the same time needs to be able to often be straightforward to fully grasp. People planning take the very time that will make an attempt to number an item outside. Over a final take note, end up being sure typically the spelling is correct and links usually are 'live' along with working. Even more white area is expected than emotion like you have got to occupy in all of the spaces offered.
And As i must say one more thing considering that folks that understand everyone notice me personally express that almost all the occasion. Found the picture, really a specialized picture (but far better performed compared with great, get a most effective picture away presently there as well as get your current professional picture up as soon enough simply because you could, don't be this unique stop you around your tracks. ) You additionally must include your company's graphic over a crease. Be sure to let them just about all call at your stunning and also good looking experience without the need of functioning for it! Keep on reading:There may be some stuff which you can give up about whenever you operate your have business but your website is not one of them.
Your internet site is any massive, exist internet business master card! Understand what possess an internet presence, quite possibly for a good in the real world small business, you will be suffering your internet business which inturn means abusing yourself.
Major steps you are likely to take is to become a site name. You should utilize your call if the idea is an easy task to spell, due to the fact people usually automatically try that first. I do usage my identify, as well as it is normally hard to help spell, still it hyperlinks to very own primary blog. If people are picking out a name, instead of your particular name be sure of which it is actually simple tap out. One might furthermore buy the distinct variants.
Let me only give everyone some ideas associated with where get started on.
-Is them clear without delay who your own target current market will be? Who a person function with?
-Is it crystal clear right out just what exactly troubles you clear up available for you potential clients?
-Is it obvious right gone exactly what result the reader may expect to get?
The other now in which your header, your heading needs to be able to be jazzy, sharp and clear. This isn't a location you wish persons questioning. Actually, they don't get the probability to guess, in order to simply be went.
For that reason much connected with what I actually in the morning chatting about nowadays is in order to point out to a person that folks are usually chaotic, folks are inpatient. You experience only a small amount effort to capture their focus. I understand which could sound insane in addition to it had not been always like that but it has an overload of information out right now there so you want to discover a method for your business opportunity to stick out. And one particular strategy can be to have got a really obvious and sharp site which will catch peoples' attention. The truth is there happen to be a great many websites of which don't carry out what many of us usually are communicating about and also wondering the key reason why no-one shows up of course, if these do appear they shouldn't continue being.
In this article is an element that you discover me personally conversation about everyday and it's actual very important:
-You need to have the opt-in opt-in form and yes it must be on the fold (people don't choose to scroll along, they generally will not browse down)
-Your opt-in container really should explain the issues they will get from your supply
-When men and women give an individual their whole call and also netmail you should allow them a little something besides your own personal ezine. You might want a pink coloured spoon, zero cost gift that you just give individuals automatically via autoresponder (not through your company e mail. )
-Be certainly to employ a clear policy statement possible people you sell, lease or loan your email address contact info and call
When one are writing your reproduce for your individual site hold it proven clear. This is not a effort to get expensive words and phrases or possibly market info. Consumers will certainly have a look at; they will will not learn just about every statement. People can vibrant important claims and key words so while they certainly understand many people continue to get your note.
Exists a single call to action for each page? There should be an opt-in page in each page to your website. There is a constant know wherever someone is going to land about your site.
Always keep your site clean in addition to professional searching. Ensure that is very easy to look over without just too many (or just about any at all) bells and even whistles that will make consumers keep your article. This specific is likewise wherever really important in order to find out your own personal industry.
The particular map-reading in addition needs towards come to be quick to fully grasp. People planning take the particular time so that you can try and figure some thing out and about. For a previous take note of, get sure often the spelling just about all correct all the things links will be 'live' and also working. Far more white spot is needed than experience like one really have to stuff in the whole set of spaces available.
And I need to declare one more thing because those that recognize myself notice me personally declare this unique all the precious time. Looked at your picture, ultimately a professional photograph (but far better undertaken compared with excellent, stimulate your very best graphic way up there in addition to get your individual professional photo up because in the near future while you will be able to, never allow this prevent you with your tracks. ) You might also must possess your company photo on the fold the.

A series of vignettes, all set in the same world. The main story focuses on Dragon, a dragon who delivers mail, and how he affects the lives of those he interacts with. Sometimes I veer off on tangents, and not all the stories are related.
A lot of this is me trying to get better at writing certain things. If you don't like the way one story is going, try checking out a different name!
No litrpg, no nobility, no long descriptions of war. LGBTQ+ themes, although it's not normally the main focus.

I started reading this thinking that it was a series of one shot stories set in the same word (and was not expecting to enjoy it that much). What I got was a series of interwoven episodes following different characters, many of which are introduced in the background of previous chapters which kept me interested and engaged.
It is exceptionally well written, it has a unique magic system and an interesting mix of high and low technology. Many of the stories are from the point of view of the lower eachelons of society, they portray peoples struggles and simple joys at things we would see as everyday.
There are a few chapters that I didn't quite gel with the protagonist but far more that I enjoyed and wanted more.
I haven't gotten to the end yet, I do keep expecting everything to suddenly marry up and make sense but I think these are in fact disparate stories which are simply linked by circumstance.
The only thing I noticed that grates at my sensibilities is that the rain must be highly acidic, everything is rotted or pitted by rain in days or weeks, even oilskins!
It is rare to find a story so flawless. I am speechless.
Crests the Skies is a marvelous series of stories, loosely tied together by the world they are set in and the Dragon who delivers the mail. Each plot lasts from one chapter to upwards of 6; easy, readable bites of high fantasy with touches of an industrial revolution.
The characters have all so far been immediately likeable. Within the first 500 words of each new arc you will be rooting for the underdog, laughing at the pompous fool, begging for the heroes to survive the unsurvivable, and empathising with the totally non-human in multiple forms.
The world, one of the author's own invention, is never truly introduced to the reader. To be clear, I find this a positive thing. We are drip-fed information over the course of each story, carefully and gently, allowing the reader to immerse themselves at their own speed, not by digging through massive textblocks or incomprehensible expositional dialogue. If you want to imagine that this is all taking place on an alternate Earth, you probably could; if, however, you want to go exploring for the hints of fantastical otherworldliness, you will find them. Oh, you will find them aplenty.
The writing is smooth, and shifts from narrator to narrator with clarity. Even switching from a grizzled veteran to a four-year-old orphan, the narrative style remains consistent, while still having clear tonal and expressive characteristics that differentiate each from the next.
Released at the rate it is, one can expect some minor editing issues, but no grammar or spelling mistakes so far. That the author is able to pump out so much content, each arc so unique, within the limited timeframe they impose on themselves, is a testament to their creativity, organisational skills, and devotion to their art.
I find myself wishing, like a kid being read a bedtime story, for "just one more page!" of each arc, but the nature of the story forbids that, sadly, and the tale must move on to the next episode. I risk never reading anything else ever again if I keep reading this - and, frankly, that wouldn't be so bad after all.
I will preface this review with two things:
1) This was a review swap.
2) I really like short stories set in the same universe like, a lot.
I started reading this as part of a review swap and boy am I glad that I did. There is something really nice and satisfying about an author who knows how to weave stories.
Each chapter is a breeze to read through, and Nettles have a really evocative and fun way of writing. There are a lot of little things that I enjoy about the writing and the way it flows, but the chief one is the way thoughts and little bits of everyday worldbuilding are presented as we learn what various characters are thinking. There is an early part, in the chapter about a person named Wind, that really spoke to me. The way he thinks about colors is very telling about the person himself, and his need and desire for a particular crayon that had landed him in trouble.
The stories are full of these little human touches such as these, about how people go through various obstacles that they themselves sometimes create out of a desire for something we might think as small and insignificant. Or it is an obstacle that society has put before them.
There is also quite a bit of clever writing in the way Nettles know how to turn a phrase, which really builds a picture with very little in the way of actual descriptions.
Another thing that might seem like a small thing, but I really enjoy the naming conventions of the stories. With names like Wind and Wordsound and kitten, you get a very different feeling too each character and making each easier to remember.
There is a lot of magic within the writing and in the world, itself and I can highly recommend this for anyone who likes short stories and world-building at a micro rather than macro-scale. Come for Dragon deliveries, stay for the world and its inhabitants.

Mircette (Ethinyl Estradiol, Desogestrel)
Other names: Apri
My mother prepared me well for the role of fat person. Being overweight herself (as a child I thought my mother was the fattest person in the world), she knew well how my life would run.
She told me how people treated you: the jokes, the rejections, the cruelty. What Mother stressed was that it didn't matter. It wasn't what you looked like that counted, it was what you were inside.
"Develop your mind," she told me. "That's something they can never take away from you."
I got the idea that all that mattered was whether you were happy or not. You only had one life and if you didn't enjoy it, it was wasted. Why deprive yourself and be slim? Soon you'd be dead and it wouldn't matter anyway. You could have enjoyed life, but you didn't.
Other people just didn't understand. Already, "they"
44 were on one side and I was on the other. And that was how I found the world to be. I never quite fit in. I was always scared, or awkward, or superior. But different; always different.
Mother was a good cook and set a good table. We had garden fresh vegetables, plenty of meat and several desserts at each meal every day. Chubby was healthy and eating was pleasing your folks. Cooking showed love.
Love wasn't expressed otherwise. It was an embarrassing subject. No one touched or hugged. You knew they loved you. There was no need to get mushy about it.
If you had a headache or a cold, special foods were prepared. And if you had a fever or had to go to the doctor, nothing was too much trouble. They'd go to the store and get anything. Eating made you feel better.
On your birthday you got to dictate the family menu. Dining out was a super-special occasion. Holidays were times when the whole family gathered at our house and the food preparations went on for days. Even minor events turned out to be feasts.
The way the family felt about food made it seem natural to eat when I felt good and when I felt bad.
The foods I loved were potatoes, breads, beans and sweets — no salads, no vegetables. Other kids might lick the pan when their mom baked a cake; I licked the pan when Mother made creamed potatoes.
I made good grades in school and was an honor student. This won me approval at home and with my teachers. I soon found a kind of belonging by appeasing authority figures, and it became a way of life. This was easy because you didn't have to obey all the rules. All you had to do was be "sweet" and give the appearance of doing as you were told. Being sneaky turned out to be one of my great natural talents. It also compensated for not fitting in with the kids. I told myself that I was above the rank and file, smarter. I wasn't interested in silly, girly things like clothes, makeup and boys. Even school functions such as ballgames and carnivals were too childish for me. Things changed at home, though, once I got into high school. Not the cooking — all the great stuff was still piled high. But suddenly I was supposed to "care more about yourself than that." Mother started picking at me constantly about what I ate and how much I ate. Boys weren't going to have anything to do with me if I kept on.
So that became my goal in life: to get married and be the great American wife and mother. If being happy was what mattered, that was what it was going to take to make me happy.
I got married the day after I graduated from high school. My life was planned. My ideals were set. I believed in control. You had to control your life and make it exactly as you wanted it to be because it was the only one you had.
When I was growing up, my grandmother lived with us and I saw the conflicts and tensions brought about by that situation. I promised myself I would never let that happen to me and ruin my life. No parents, his or mine, would ever live with us.
Also, I would never work. I believed in the sanctity of the home. I had my role to live.
To obtain the things I wanted, no price was too high to pay. I knew only too well that I was not sexually attractive. But I was willing to make up for that in other ways. I waited on my new husband hand and foot. I pandered to his ego, gave in to him on every decision, large and small. He got my total respect and dedication.
In return I wanted protection — insulation from the world. My home was going to provide that.
I didn't fit into my wife role any better than I had fit into school. I had nothing in common with other young wives. I stayed home and got bored and depressed. I ate.
No babies came. We were the only couple around with no children. I thought it was cruel. I hated being around anyone else; all they talked about was babies.
I gained weight slowly, eight or nine pounds each year. At first, because I didn't have anything else to do, I put a lot of time and thought into special recipes. Supper became a grand occasion. Later it relieved tensions.
Being compliant caused problems. I handled the money and if my husband asked if we could afford to go somewhere or buy something, I couldn't say no. I felt guilty, both because I knew I should be managing the money better and because most other young wives were working to help out, especially those with no children at home.
We got behind on some of our bills. We went into debt over our heads, unable to control our charge account buying. If we wanted something, we got it.
I could not stand to be a failure at managing money, so now I lied to my husband about paying the bills and neglected to mention dodging the bill collectors. My old ally, sneakiness, came to the rescue again.
There is only one thing wrong with that kind of dishonesty. Sometimes you don't feel real. Someone can tell you he loves you, and you say to yourself, "Yes, you think that. But if you really knew me — how I am inside — you wouldn't love me at all."
So you come to understand that your whole life is built on a pretty shaky foundation. It's scary at times. But you go on.
I became bitter. I was smarter than this. Things should turn out better. It wasn't my fault that we didn't have children. That was a dirty trick being played on me.
Some things I could control, though. If we didn't have enough money, there were ways of stretching it a bit. If life wouldn't give me a fair share, then I'd take it. There are ways of beating the system, of outsmarting "them."
That was when the shoplifting began, and it was emotional dynamite right from the start. Like the rest of my life, the stealing soon became focused on food. It was almost as though someone else was doing it, not me. Not once did I consider myself a thief. I was just trying to cope.
Things weren't right. The happiness was not coming. My husband insisted I get out of the house and get a job. Both for myself and to alleviate our financial situation. I did, and I hated him for it.
Fear was growing, and my body along with it as I ate more. What I had believed in turned out to mean nothing. So now I believed in nothing.
Then, life dealt me the crushing blow: it became necessary to move my husband's mother into our home. I would not accept it. My stealing increased. I began having violent headaches, almost constantly. And I became a sneak eater. I nibbled while I cooked, then ate a large meal and finally I cleaned off all the plates and finished whatever was left in the serving bowls. After that, I tucked several slices of lunchmeat into the pocket of my robe and went into the bathroom.
My desk drawer at work always had three or four candy bars in it. I ate in the car. I ate in the middle of the night. At five feet in height, I weighed 232 pounds and was getting heavier. I couldn't tie my shoelaces. My feet swelled and my legs ached; I had to buy ankle braces, and even then the veins in my feet looked as though they were about to burst.
At this point my mother, who was in her forties, had a heart attack. During the next six years, she had eight heart attacks and three strokes. That mind which she had said they could never take away from you was never quite the same.
Life had no point. I seemed to have no future to look forward to at all. I was sliding downhill with nothing to hold onto. Pain and death lay ahead. And the best of my life lay behind.
Then I saw the ad in the paper for Overeaters Anonymous. I cut out the address and time of the meeting and put it in a kitchen drawer and left it there for four months.
But the ad said help was available and that came back into my head. I still had doubts. A fat club was insulting. And I knew I wouldn't mesh well with other people.
Also, if I tried and failed, which was the result I expected, I didn't want other people to know. I knew they "shared" and all I could equate that with was my Baptist upbringing and the revival testimonials. To that, I had to say, "No way. Definitely not my style."
Still, I went. There wasn't any answer for me anywhere else.
They had me pegged. I knew I was home. I went on the program the next day at 220 pounds.
I would like to be able to say that once I found this program all my problems vanished and I have had perfect abstinence and life has been wonderful. But that has not been my experience.
I wanted the program and I knew it was right for me. But at times I've wanted it my way — and this is one program you don't manipulate. You give it up or you don't.
So my experience has been up and down. Always growing. Sometimes it's easy; I'm like a kite in the breeze. Sometimes I take it back and resist. Then I bog down and sometimes I break abstinence. But I just go back on.
I would like to be perfect, but I'm not. And there's room here for mistakes. I accept what I can and wrestle with the rest. It's OK.
It has been a year now. I've lost 80 pounds. Ten inches off my bust and ten off my hips. Twelve off my waist. Instead of a 24% dress I wear a 13.
I am changing, and at times that scares me. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm still me —- and always will be. In fact, I am finding the real me for the first time in my life.
I'm less defensive; I don't have to apologize for me. I'm working on me.
Never before did I have enough. Enough love, enough food, enough possessions. I always had to grab. I always felt desperate. Now I am beginning to relax, to feel satisfied.
And for the first time ever, I'm beginning to have a clean, honest feeling inside. I go to bed at night with nothing to hide.
I'm more apt to tell you how I really feel. And I'm less willing to go that extra mile just to make up for being less a person than you.
I'm aware of how sick I've been, of how far I have to go. But that's OK. I know the way.
I wake up in the morning glad to be alive. Life is a good thing.
I have OA, and my life is never going to be the same because of it.
And I have reached my goal: not my desired weight (I still plan to lose 30 pounds), but the only goal that really matters, remember?
I'm happy.

Everything that affects the weather and our lifestyle now-a-days all seem to be blamed on Global Warming. We keep being told to consider our carbon footprint..... but several things puzzle me on this.
Take today for instance, because of wind direction, and the seasonal excessive high tides places along the East coast were warned of danger of flooding. Fortunately this didn`t turn out as bad for most places as was expected. On the news on tv they were reporting the fact that it hadn`t been as bad as the floods of 1953. So, how come that floods 50 years ago, when there was no thought of global warming, were worse than today when there is global warming?
And the thing that annoys me most about the Carbon Footprint issue, is..... how is it that countries are allowed to send rockets up into space, through the atmosphere, no doubt polluting it, as well as puncturing the atmosphere around the earth..... surely this must be a lot to blame for what is supposedly happening to the earth now-a-days? And what good are they doing?... What a lot of money they are wasting that could be put to much better use down here on earth for the starving peoples and research into diseases. It makes me mad!
I`d better get off my soapbox now I`ve had my say on it!

Perceived Workplace Stress Is Associated with an Increased Risk of Prostate Cancer before Age 65.
Evidence is lacking regarding the potential role of chronic psychological stress on cancer incidence. The workplace is reported to be the main source of stress among Canadian men. We examined the association between perceived lifetime workplace stress and prostate cancer (PCa) risk in a large case-control study. Cases were 1,933 men, aged ≤ 75 years, newly diagnosed with PCa in 2005-2009 across hospitals in Montreal, Canada. Concurrently, 1994 population controls frequency-matched on age were randomly selected from the electoral list based on cases' residential districts. Detailed lifestyle and work histories (including perceived stress, from any type of work stressor, for each job held) were collected during in-person interviews. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between work-related stress and PCa risk in multivariate analyses. Over the lifetime, 58% of subjects reported at least one job as stressful. Occupations described as stressful were most often among white-collar workers. Perceived workplace stress duration was associated with a higher risk of PCa (OR = 1.12, 95% CI:1.04-1.20 per 10-year increase) among men younger than 65 years, but not among older men. Associations were similar irrespective of PCa aggressiveness. Frequent or recent screening for PCa, age at first exposure and time since exposure to work-related stress, and socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, had little influence on risk estimates. Findings are in line with an association between reporting prolonged workplace stress and an increase in risk of PCa before age 65.

When it was time for me to take control of my life there were many things I had to address and one of the biggest was telling myself it was ok to be me. Somewhere along my journey I learned the lesson that I was wrong. Me. The person I was did not meet conventional standards with respect to my perceptions about people and life and where I fit in. You see I've never fit in. While it hurt as a child I see it now as a blessing as I give no credence to societal norms about my place as a woman who is black. But, now what to do with the scars left. For a long time I was hypersensitive and lacked confidence because who I was was mocked and 'othered' by members in the "community" in various capacities. A change was needed.
My first step toward changing this was acknowledging missed time and opportunities. I acknowledged my regret over what I missed. Its all about being truthful with yourself ladies. I then went about adjusting how I engaged with the my environment. Too often I had been reactionary and non-proactive and found myself in other folks' spheres trying to gain my footing or fighting to have a voice. With my new found attitude, I was clear about what my goal was and this created a calming effect on me. I began to neutralize environmental micro aggression's which serve to slowly chip away at your peace and serenity. These are not only naysayers (which I'll address at length later) but the stress of paying bills late, a cluttered home, under-employment, bad living arrangements, unhealthy, overweight, non-affirming imagery, not finishing projects, etc. Just all kinds of 'quality-of-life-lowering' issues.
After I neutralized the micro-aggressors what I found that aided me was creating what I called a "calmness" in my environment. I believe there was an interview where Oprah said you have to "be still". This helped, still helps. You have to remove yourself from the insidious noises that are always in the background. I even find myself muting commercials due to the loud and unstable nature of most of them. This quiet stability helps me think about what I need to do and plan the steps necessary to get there. At this point outside influence on me is minimal to none. The word "no". Learn to use it. Learn to love it. People go as far as you allow them and you have to learn to stop them. I don't need to wax poetic about the no concept, its pretty straight forward.
Getting to this place was not an overnight event, it can take years for some to throw off the yolk of society and have agency. Whatever the length of your journey toward this end I strongly urge my readers to begin the work, its well worth it. If you've begun, continue it. After I got through this stage, I found myself (where I am today, thank goodness) in the 'EFF IT' stage. I am so non-concerned with what others feel I should be doing or who I should be, its bordering on sublime.

Does one has to harm himself first for people to hear what he was saying was true?
a person was called " very emotional' and no one seemed to pay attention to what he was saying. His thoughts and feelings are ignored until one day he took his own life. Then everyone around him blamed themselves. Now, they noticed and valued him but too late.
I agree with you completely on what you are saying, I want to know the opinion of everyone here on this question
Thanks to Ali asking such questions
I disagree with this train of thought.
Harm yourself to impress me...........I think not. It is cowardly.
Hunger strike? You will not keep me from my supper.
Sail off of a building?...........I am firmly on the ground.
No, harming yourself, does not impress me..........it reads as, well, quite frankly, blackmail. There are laws against such acts.
The truth is...........I would have done more, had you made me more aware.
No...........I will not add guilt to my ongoing responsibilites. Do not attempt to bully me. Just do not. I am too factual;, and too action oriented. Honestly, I am TOO busy " doing" something, than to figure out your "inner message". Lay it on the line. THAT gets my notice.
We ALL have depth of feeling...........I handle mine, and I expect you to handle yours..............NO GUILT TRIPS TAKEN.
NO ONE will know of things untold.............
it is unfair and inhumane to hold us hostage to voices unspoken..........sad, a tragedy, heartbreaking..............but I will not be held hostage to your emotions..........I WILL NOT.
I think the answer is no, however from experience this is something that is hard to answer yes or no.
For people that have never had to deal with depression, anxiety, or very heavy feelings over a long time, it can be hard to understand someone who is in a depressed or suicidal state of mind. We live in a society where physical injuries are the only real ones. Many people do not realize that emotional pain can be just as hurtful.
People who have gone through those situations, or people that are very empathetic, can see the hurt, and feel how painful it really is.
On the whole, it depends on who you're asking to address the issue. Even some doctors will not take emotional pain seriously until it is, unfortunately, too late. The only thing someone can do is to keep trying for help, which can be so frustrating when no one will listen, and when someone is already feeling pretty low, being told that their problems are just "drama queen" or "emo" or "attention seeking" can be very hurtful.
TL:DR Version: It depends on who that person asks for help.
If we just interested in the others, 90% of us will not be here now.
We should not put in our mind that convincing others is our main priority, same time we should know that maybe we are wrong.
By time, even we will discover our mistake or others will.
It is sure nice to learn how people react to this question especially the ones that i do not know of in person.. I have been married to a minister for 30 years and the funeral services I had attended lately appeared to have these as one of the scenarios behind their deaths? ...The eulogies I heard made me wonder when it sounded like they are well loved and was a hero among the living? ..Why?..As a family, a friend, a community of caring people, we seemed to fail to notice these from the very beginning or maybe choose not to ?, are we afraid to talk that no one will ever care?, no one will listen or maybe we all have the same problem ourselves or just plain " mind your own business thing while I mind my own', sort of mentality.....I choose life and that does not only includes my own but the people around me as well.

Rescue Theory – Part 1
A swimmer's head sits low in the water and his arms flap out to the sides while trying to keep his head up. The lifeguard sees the telltale signs of a swimmer in distress. She immediately kicks into a whole pre-determined plan as she radios for backup, grabs her fins and rescue tube, chooses the proper entry (from sand or rocks), dolphins through shallow water while unwrapping her tube. Swimming with her head intermittently up to keep sight of the victim, she pauses on the approach, and talks to him as she keeps her buoy between them while extending it. Upon contact, she moves to his rear and buckles the buoy around him, assesses him, signals to shore what his condition is and if she needs help, swims him to the beach while checking intermittently, re-checks him more thoroughly at the shore and renders whatever medical aid is needed. While doing this she prepares to pass all this info on to her supervisor or other first responders.
Making an ocean rescue is a complicated process which requires a great deal of preparation to effect safely. There are a lot of ways this could potentially go sideways, so we spend a large percentage of precious training time on this topic. Obviously, there is a lot of physical training required in advance so the body is prepared, but the real keys are the mental aspects. These we break into two general categories, elimination of variables and cognitive flexibility under stress.
Elimination of variables encompasses a whole range of physical, mental, and psychological components. The overarching concept is when you start the rescue process there are a lot of things that need to happen, so you want to make sure you take care of as many of these variables as you can in advance and have fewer unknowns as you enter the rescue scenario. In addition to the areas that are consistent between most rescues, each event is unique and so things will be encountered that that could not be planned for.
When you go into action your body instinctively kicks in a whole range of physiological responses so you can do things you wouldn't normally be able to do. Time seems to slow down as chemicals are dumped into your blood stream. Depending on your training and history you can experience a diminished mental capacity while at the same time have an enhanced physical capability. Taking care of as many things as possible in advance is crucial since you may not be at your best mentally during the rescue process. The key components in the concept of elimination of variables are level of fitness, skills, equipment preparation, and state of readiness.
This is the first of a three-part series that is the basis of how we teach rescue theory. Next, we'll go into each of the specifics of the elimination of variables. Stay tuned for the next installment and Happy Holidays from all of us at the Galveston Island Beach Patrol!

Physical fitness and health are crucial for enhancing both the quality and quantity of life. Naturally, this comes more easily for the more agile and virile individuals. However, the trade-offs on energy and vigor that come with age can be challenging for many as they grow older. It is a fact that as your body ages, it becomes more and more difficult to execute the typical exercise routines you were used to. It is no longer viable to try out the heavy weights because your body simply cannot handle it anymore.
What is the next step as you grow older?
This necessitates an effective transition into more suitable and effective training routines. Perhaps one of the pros of being a senior citizen is that you have more time on your hands, and you can utilize this time very well by adopting any number of effective exercises which will help you stay fit and healthy for longer. In fact, current research indicates that physical activity is not only an essential aspect of a healthy community, but also a key ingredient in promoting an active way of life, which is significant in maintaining health and quality of life as you age.
Below are some of the best exercises to stay fit as you age.
Recommended Exercises for seniors.
Walking is also effective in strengthening muscles, promoting weight loss, improving blood circulation, and even improving sleep. It also increases mental sharpness, improves joints support, and generally makes you happier.
Yoga has also been associated with a reduction in menopausal discomfort, and promotion of good bone health. Yoga is also beneficial in keeping your mind sharp.
No matter what exercises you ultimately settle on, the goal is to stay consistent and have fun while being active. Do keep in mind that pushing too hard or to the point of injury can be counterproductive. So be safe and give some of these suggestions a try! You might surprise yourself with what you are capable of!

When you wonder, you're learning : Mister Rogers' enduring lessons for raising creative, curious, caring kids / Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski ; foreword by Joanne Rogers.
"Playful and practical, When You Wonder, You're Learning brings the lessons of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood into the digital age. It focuses on six skills and mindsets that parents and educators can foster in kids--curiosity, creativity, collaboration, communication, perseverance, and empathy--by leading with a Mister Rogers anecdote, then connecting the logic behind what Mister Rogers did on his show to the latest science, followed by tips for parents and educators. Decades of research have only cemented the importance of these tools for learning--in recent years, they've been shown to boost children's school attendance, grades, test scores, and overall well-being. They've been shown to be ten times more predictive of long-term success than children's academic records, and they benefit kids regardless of race, gender, or class. Readers also learn from modern thinkers and scientists in the education field, many of whom worked with Rogers himself: media & communication experts, psychologists, play museum and after school program designers, and more. This book is truly an essential exploration into Rogers' "tools for learning" that are still so vital in how we raise our children today"-- Provided by publisher.

What can I say? Last June was scary.
I blogged on what was going on in my life and my husband's with the military, and him getting out. We had no answers. We had barely anything to hold onto. It was a very dark time.
And yes, during that time, a lot of the things I felt were constant fear and worry.
However, the love of Christ weighed stronger on my shoulders. He was why I decided to write during the times I didn't know what was going to happen.
This life is not about always knowing what God is going to do, how He is going to answer (be it yes or no), and us having control over everything. Jesus reminded Martha of this. The Lord reminded Job of this.
Which leads to the very short piece of scripture I am going to focus on this month, and please join me in doing so.
(NIV) Job 2:10, "Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?"
We can either fight against Him or cling to Him in all seasons of our lives. It won't change our circumstances, if we fight Him, but I know Christ has changed me when I've clung to Him in trials.
Job said today's scripture when his wife was telling him to give up on God. He has lost so much, and yet he answered her, "Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?"
Job may have complained, and please, let me be the first to say if I was in his shoes...I would have too. He never went against the Lord. He didn't understand and he was begging to understand why, alongside his doubt and questioning, why he was still living.
I've been there. It's one thing to endure brief panic or a small trial. But hardship, an enduring trial with no seeming answers of hope or refuge. When everything gets swept up from the ground beneath you, and you only have Christ to rely on
It's jarring.
What I am going to be thinking about this month is how God moves despite setbacks. How He heals when we receive answers of no, and when our hearts are broken. Things do not always go our way, but they will always go God's way.
Will you join me this month?
What does this scripture say to you?
What scripture will you be focusing on this month?
Month Scripture (NIV) Job 2:10, "Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?"

|A finger bitten by a strange animal
|I dreamed an animal bit my middle finger, I couldn't see the face of the animal, but it looked like a big rat, but it wasn't.
|Seeing a strange animal bite your middle finger and being unable to identify it represents a big surprise in your future. There may certain circumstances that would lead to a big revelation or discovery which would end up shocking and surprising you. The nature of this surprise is unclear, but it would have a strong impact on you.
|Newborn mice in the house
|I saw a large number of newborn mice in my kitchen. And many of them are already dead, many of them are still alive. And I am trying to put them out of my house. What does it mean?
|An infestation of mice in your household experienced in a dream is a highly ominous sign associated with evil and darkness rising around you. Often these forces work their dark magic on your goals or dreams. In particular, it is important for you to take time to carefully watch those around you. If you are too focused on the prize, you may miss the onset of someone's interference in your endeavors.
|An orange dragon and cattle in the sky
|I saw that I am standing and suddenly saw an orange-color dragon image in the clear night sky and it was causing no harm and I was making a wish on seeing it and was happy. I too saw a large herd of cattle all healthy ones are moving. Please interpret my dream and let me know its meaning.
|Dreaming about an image of a dragon is an auspicious sign predicting that your existing troubles and hardships are about to end, paving the way for new exciting opportunities and fresh beginnings. This is the reprieve you have been waiting for. If you have been struggling in the waking world, the suffering would soon come to an end. Likewise, the healthy cattle in your dream alludes to prosperity and wealth. You could be getting close to achieving your goals.
|Protecting family from rabid wolves
|My parents, brother and I lived in a town near the ocean that would occasionally board up windows and deadbolt doors to prepare for rabid wolves that would come out at night to hunt. We also were encouraged to wear neutral clothing so we'd be less visible to the wolves. Toward the end of the dream, I realized that we'd left a window open on the top floor and when I ran up the stairs to close it, I heard the sound of wolves entering and moving toward my family who didn't have any idea.
|Wolves are strong and aggressive creatures as depicted in your dream. Securing your house to make sure they do not get inside reflects fears and apprehensions towards some external influences or forces aimed at negatively impacting your family's peaceful existence. As such, these animals may be a representation of harmful habits or even menacing individuals who could hurt not only you, but also other members of your immediate family. It is something that could threaten your family's ties and integrity. Perhaps this sneaky threat that comes prowling at night is someone's addiction going undetected or a damning secret being kept by one of your loved ones.
|A monkey playing with itself
|A small female monkey fornicating itself.
|A masturbating female monkey reveals growing dissatisfaction. Your inner child and youthful aspirations may be starting to fade or dim. Through this dream, your subconscious is highlighting a latent desire to break free and be impulsive. Perhaps you are feeling limited or restricted in your current situation, and as such, sometimes you may want to just channel your mischievous side and be spontaneous without having to think about the consequences of your actions.
|A lizard getting inside the body
|I dreamt of a lizard burying itself into my body and I squeezed it out and it ran away and hid.
|The scenario in your dream in which a lizard is trying to bury itself into your body represents a cold-blooded individual trying to ingratiate his or her way into your circle of trust. It is a warning that you would be attacked by your enemies, be confronted by your rivals at work or in your personal life, or have a possible confrontation with competitors. So beware of those people who have the propensity to inflict any harm to you. Fortunately, squeezing the lizard out means that being assertive and vigilant could throw off malicious figures in the waking world.
|Two seals in a swimming pool
|Me and my boyfriend are at my hairdresser's house which is supposed to be around the beach or ocean (in my dream). Everything is going good, we get into her pool, we are all horsing around when I feel something behind me, it's a seal and there are two of them and one that is bigger and meaner (I knew it was dangerous). So my boyfriend gets all of us out of the water and gets us elevated, but he decides that he is going to help the seal (which I took to be like a leopard seal) and he's fighting with it.
|Being at a hairdresser's house in your dream reveals your readiness for change. The type of change you are looking forward to has something to do with social status, as symbolized by the seals in your vision. Perhaps you and your boyfriend have been talking about your future in the real world, hoping for some career advancement or financial gain. As such, seeing your boyfriend grappling and fighting with the seal refers to his efforts to compete with others in order to gain a level of success befitting his hard work, ambitions and diligence. The vision is foretelling greater and better things ahead for the both of you, individually and as a couple.
|A fight between a fox and lizard
|Hello, I've had a dream where I was petting a white fox and a lizard went by us and fox suddenly attacked the lizard and I was trying to protect the fox by attacking the same lizard. The dream was placed in my childhood neighborhood and was really vivid. Could you please tell me what it means, since I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. Thanks. :)
|The white fox and lizard in your dream represent two influential figures in your life. The neighborhood gives a bit of a clue regarding the identity of these two individuals. Dreaming of childhood places typically means that you are feeling nostalgic and remembering a simpler and idealized period of your youth. Consider the characteristics of the animals. A white fox symbolizes a well-meaning figure who tends to use charm and wit to manipulate or gain the trust of others. Meanwhile, the lizard represents someone cold and calculating. Perhaps they refer to your parents and how you view each of them, or they could be individuals you look up to. Either way, you could be feeling protective of the fox and demonizing the lizard, yet you know deep down that they both had a big impact on your development and social skills.
|A rat chewing through a dress
|Hello, my wife had a dream where a rat was chewing on her one particular blue dress and left it with many holes. Please what does this mean?
|This vision could be a sign that your wife is about to find some much-needed inner peace in the near future. A blue dress is often symbolic of emotional turmoil or stress. Just as blue is a soft color often associated with feelings, so does this symbol represent strong emotional distress which she can feel and you can see in waking life. However, seeing this dress eaten by rats predicts making breakthroughs with this trauma, suggesting that the holes in the dress at the end of the vision show how much progress she can make. Therefore, the more holes she saw, the happier she is likely to become.
|A possum out of a box
|I was going through some boxes full of stuff. It all looked like junk. My granddaughter was there, she is six. One of the boxes started shaking. I thought my cat was in there. That is when the black rat came out of the box, heading right towards me. Then it changed into a possum. The possum was covered in hundreds of babies. It came directly at me. I was a little scared, but more curious than threatened by her actions. It chased my granddaughter and she screamed and ran from it. I was amazed.
|The boxes in your dream suggest long-forgotten memories or personal baggage you have been carrying around for a long time. The rat that came out of the box alludes to dirty little secrets. A past mistake or regrettable actions may be coming back to haunt you. This is a secret that could potentially affect your loved ones. The transformation of the rat to a possum, however, points to aspects of this long-held secret that may be new to you. Perhaps you need to look into your past for lessons to be learned or information that could shed some light about yourself and your loved ones.
|A lizard cut with scissors
|Gecko cut into pieces with scissors.
|Dreaming about a lizard that has been cut by a pair of scissors could represent your internal determination to restore or improve your reputation within your social circle or community. While this could be a good sign which depicts your drive and perseverance, it would be wise to carefully consider which path (or paths) you take to do so. Otherwise, you may change your reputation in a way you did not intend or expect.
|A giraffe preventing from planting a tree
|I had a dream that I was planting a lemon tree. Just as I got it planted, a giraffe came by and plucked it up as a whole and moved it. I planted it again and again, and the giraffe would pull it up and move it every time.
|Planting trees is a highly symbolic image to see in a dream vision. It is often tied to the idea of increasing your wealth or becoming financially-independent. Specifically, it points to finding new income, usually in the form of property or inheritance, though it can also include new revenue streams from business and commerce. However, the notion about a giraffe interfering with the growth of your tree could signify the presence of a person or hindrance which prevents your endeavors from becoming fruitful. Until you are able to remove this counteracting force, your wealth cannot take root and grow.
|An indifferent white tiger
|I was walking into the woods, it was snowing and I saw a white beautiful tiger standing far but straight in the direction I was going and I went to the white tiger. I started to pet the tiger, hug it and scrub my face on the white tiger's face and that moment I felt so great because it seemed like I felt in love with it, but the white tiger didn't pay attention to me. It was looking like its face was angry and with its blue eyes. It was only looking straight and didn't move its eyes, not even a bit.
|Walking through the woods while it is snowing points to loneliness and isolation. Stroking the white tiger or running your fingers through its fur reveals a tendency to be passive. You may have a habit of pleasing people for fear of being rejected. This vision alludes to your desire to indulge your superiors. However, this kind of attitude would not serve you well in the long run. Confidence and assertiveness earns the respect of others, not submissiveness and people-pleasing.
|A lizard with a broken back
|An injured lizard with a back-side fracture and there was blood, waking slowly.
|Seeing an injured lizard in a dream could be interpreted as a warning. Certain issues regarding the physical aspects of your current relationship may arise in the near future. These problems may be sexual in nature, most likely regarding either your partner's or your inability to perform satisfactory during intimate moments. Whatever the case may end up being, having an open line of communication with your significant other is always the best answer.
|People slaughtering an elephant
|Hi, please help me with this dream. I dreamt I witnessed a group of men tying an elephant with a rope and slaughtering its body, stripping it from all its flesh and only leaving bones behind. The head was not touched because they wanted to make it suffer longer and it was still alive fighting for its life. I was very upset with them and begged them to stop and shouted out they were merciless, they replied back and said the elephant deserved it because it did something terrible to them.
|Seeing a dead elephant in your dream vision is a highly ominous warning and should be heeded with caution. The elephant's suffering and dying suggest that your internal balance has been suffering recently. For example, you may be focusing on your career at the expense of your familial relations or vice versa. This could lead to some serious outcomes creating a period of your life filled with unhappiness. The fact that it was not you but a group of strange men who committed this heinous act could reflect the lack of control you have over the situation, meaning another individual or group could be negatively affecting the balance you need. In order to rectify this situation, you need to either assert your will over your destiny or cut those who have power over you out of your life completely.

Interest has a different meaning depending on its purpose. For example, suppose we are talking about an investor or saver. In that case, the interest represents the compensation that they receive for having their money invested or applied, that is, for making their money available to third parties.
For those who make a loan, interest represents the cost of using the money that is lent to them by others, usually by the bank. The interest rate is a percentage of the invested/borrowed capital. It differs depending on the capital involved, the operation, and the risk, which is also influenced by macroeconomic factors.
Let's learn more on how interest rates impact the economy and our money.
Table of Contents
Types of interest rates
In the case of home loans, interest rates can take one of the following forms: variable interest rate, fixed interest rate, or mixed interest rate. In consumer loans, the interest rate charged can be fixed or variable.
- Variable interest rate: In loans with a variable interest rate, as the name implies, the interest rate varies depending on the reference rate.
- Fixed interest rate: In loans taken out at a fixed interest rate, the interest rate is always the same, and the value of the installment does not change during the term of the contract, with the customer knowing, from the outset, the total amount of interest to be paid.
- Mixed interest rate: In home loans contracted at a mixed interest rate, the parties agree that the credit agreement has a period in which the rate is fixed, followed by a period in which the rate is variable.
How are interest rates determined?
Interest rates are privileged vehicles for transmitting stimuli to the economy, controlling inflation and demand for money. They are directly influenced by the monetary policy defined by central banks.
The central bank makes money more expensive by increasing the key interest rate. Hence, people's purchasing power decreases, consumption decisions are postponed, the use of credit is discouraged, and savings will yield higher interest rates. However, in the opposite scenario, money becomes cheaper when there is a decrease in the key interest rate. Consequently, the cost of borrowing is also reduced, thus stimulating household spending, business investment, and economic expansion.
Every six weeks, The Federal Reserve (specifically the Federal Open Market Committee or FOMC) sets the interest rates for the banking system. These decisions then have an impact on the interest rates charged by banks to customers.
Interest rates also affect our money and investments
Suppose the Central Bank announces an increase in interest rates. In that case, it is expected that there will be an early fall in the stock market since families and companies will reduce their consumption, generating expectations of lower profits for companies and investors and, consecutively, a decrease in the share price.
Stocks become less attractive, as the expected return may not compensate for the risk, especially when other investments appear to be safer and more predictable and allow for more satisfactory returns, such as deposits, bonds, or other debt securities.
When interest rates drop or are low, agents increase consumption and investment, with a greater propensity to invest in variable-yield products in the hope of obtaining a higher return, which translates into an appreciation of the stock market. In other words, the decrease in interest rates can mean an increase in the value of shares, not only because families have more money, which translates into a stimulus for the economy, but also because companies' financing costs decrease, which can have a positive impact on the results of some companies, especially those that are more indebted.
Take note:
- When we talk about bank credit, interest rates represent the remuneration to be paid by the customer to the bank for the money lent to them. In addition to the interest rate, the customer will have to pay commissions and other fees associated with the loan.
- Banks provide information on interest rates, which are included in standard information sheets, before signing a credit agreement with the customer.
- In consumer credit, there are limits to the interest rates that can be charged, arising from the legal regime applicable in the US.

1.4.1 Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion
Each planet orbits the Sun as shown in plan view in Figure 1.5. As a crude approximation, the planetary orbits can be represented as circles centred on the Sun, with all the circles in the same plane, and each planet moving around its orbit at a constant speed; the larger the orbit, the slower the speed. A far better approximation is encapsulated in three empirical rules called Kepler's laws of planetary motion. These were announced by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), the first two in 1609, the third in 1619.
Kepler's first law Each planet moves around the Sun in an ellipse, with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse.
Kepler's second law As the planet moves around its orbit, the straight line from the Sun to the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time.
We shall come to the third law shortly.

Pollan, Michael. Cooked: a natural history of transformation
Pollan, best-known for "The Omnivore's Dilemma, starts off this new work of non-fiction with a simple question: Why, in an era in which most people go out of their way to avoid cooking, has the chef become a celebrity and the cooking show a guilty pleasure?
To answer that question, Pollan turns his journalist's sensibility and straightforward, thoughtful powers of analysis to examining just why cooking should matter, speaking to those who still perform traditional cooking tasks and attempting to learn them himself.
The book is organized around the four elements: fire, water, air, and earth, which correspond to four basic ways to transform raw materials into nutritious, tasty things to eat. Fire is linked to grilling and barbecuing, water to cooking with liquid and braising, air to baking bread, and earth to fermenting, cheese making, and brewing. Among other culinary adventures, Pollan joins barbecue pit masters at the spit in North Carolina and New York, kneads with bread makers at Tartine in San Francisco, learns to put up sauerkraut with fermenter extraordinaire Sandor Katz, and observes the "Cheese Nun" (and micro-biologist) Mother Noëlla Marcellino as she creates a raw-milk cheese using techniques practiced since the 17th century.
The results of his researches into the secrets of cooking are fascinating, but the magic of "Cooked" lies not in its ability to unlock the secrets of slow-roasting a whole hog or brewing beer. Instead, he manages to illuminate the wealth of connections that stem from our time spent in the kitchen. As he writes, "Cooking — of whatever kind, everyday or extreme — situates us in the world in a very special place, facing the natural world on one side and the social world on the other."

Resources for coping with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Quality of life
Before having cancer, you may not have thought a lot about your quality of life versus your quantity of life. You were just living it. Now, as you go through treatment or recover from treatment, quality of life may become a balancing act with quantity of life. Your healthcare team may use these terms when they talk to you and your loved ones.
In the simplest of terms, quality of life is your ability to do and enjoy the things in your life that mean the most to you while feeling as well as possible. It means different things to different people. Quantity of life is the amount of time that you live.
Even if you have a good prognosis, cancer may make you think about what is important to you and what you want to do with whatever time you have left, whether it is short or long. You may also discover what isn't important to you or realize that there are things you don't want to have in your life.
For some people living with cancer, the amount of time they have is very important. Your reason for wanting this time may be different from someone else's – after all, everyone's life goals or bucket list is different. You may want to travel somewhere new or go back to a favourite place. Perhaps you want to complete a project at home or learn a new skill. Or maybe seeing your children finish school, get married or have children is the most important thing to you. To be able to have this time, you may be willing to put up with treatment side effects that are very unpleasant or that last a long time. You may be willing to have as many treatments as possible or take part in a clinical trial that could give you more time.
Or you may find that your priority is to feel well enough to do what is most important for you for as long as you can. Some people do not want to continue treatments for a long time, especially when the side effects stop them from enjoying life. You may feel that after several different treatments, you would rather have some time to enjoy your life without being in treatment.
What quality of life means to you may change over time.
Talk to your healthcare team
Talk to your healthcare team about any concerns you have about your quality of life. They can tell you about how your treatment options and their side effects may affect your ability to enjoy the things in your life that mean the most to you. Your healthcare team can also find ways to help you cope with the quality of life issues that you are most worried about.
The expected outcome or course of a disease.
The chance of recovery or recurrence.

Living with an eating disorder is like having a little man on your shoulder constantly criticizing your every move. In the eating disorder community, we like to call him Ed, short for Eating Disorder. He says things like,
"You just ate a bagel? How could you?
Do you even realize how many calories are in that thing? No wonder you're so bloated.
Well since you gave in, you cannot eat anything for the rest of the day."
Now imagine trying to ignore this conversation going through your head, and someone says something about how they didn't eat breakfast that day, or how excited they are that they lost 5 pounds.
It's like putting gasoline on a barely contained fire. Explosion!
Of course, nobody is responsible for another person's response, but here are a seven things to be aware of to help your fellow brothers and sisters stay on the road to recovery.
1. Don't mention numbers
Of any kind. Don't comment on your weight, or how much you'd like to lose, or how much body fat percentage you have, or your BMI (Body Mass Index), or your clothing size. Eating Disorders love the comparison game and they are extremely competitive with everyone around them. Make it easier for us and keep these thoughts to yourself.
2. Don't comment on the number of calories
Again, people with eating disorders already have an obsession with numbers, but especially calories. Many meticulously count calories already and have memorized the exact number of most foods they consume. Bringing it up can make it all the more difficult to ignore and stay on track with their meal plan.
3. Don't talk about your diet
Now I'm not necessarily against dieting, but I know that going on a diet for myself leads me down an unhealthy thought pattern.
And fasting can be a great way to rely and grow closer to God, but when you talk about how you haven't eaten with someone who struggles with restriction, it can lead to feelings of failure and shame that one is not "good enough" at their eating disorder.Twisted I know, but that's what the devil loves: to twist our mind towards the irrational so we stay trapped in his grasp.
4. Do ask them how they are doing after a meal
You don't need a response. Just listen and give them the space to share how they are really feeling about what was just consumed. They might be doing okay, or they might be freaking out internally. Just be with them and let them share what they are comfortable with.
5. Do ask them if they've eaten
As much as I've hated this question when I am in my eating disorder's grasp it is absolutely necessary. If my eating disorder had its way, I would completely isolate myself from all social contact to avoid people confronting me about my lack of nourishment. I needed people who cared enough to check in on me.
6. Do ask them if they want accountability
And warning: they may say no. They may not be ready for that. And that's okay. Be patient with them and if you are seriously concerned for their safety, speak with a counselor or someone else that can refer them to a medical professional.
7. Do ask about your own language around food
If you catch yourself talking about the 5 pounds you recently lost or gained, just apologize and ask them if your comment was triggering. It gives you both the chance to have an understanding conversation surrounding food language and to better know what affects them.
And for anyone currently struggling with an eating disorder. The next time a friend asks how they can help, share this blog with them so that they can have tangible ways in which to love you through this difficult season. As we surround ourselves with people who love and care about us, we can slowly start to not just know that we are God's masterpieces, but truly believe it in our hearts.
If you have other suggestions feel free to comment below or email me directly at [email protected]. I value every one of my reader's insight.

If you've thought about joining the military because of the great military jobs or financial perks, you should keep in mind some truths about the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and National Guard Service. As long as you keep these things in mind, you can join the military and work great military jobs, and start yourself an awesome, possibly lifetime career.
1. Basic training is the hardest thing you'll probably ever do. Prepare yourself as much as you can by working out intensively leading up to it. If you're already being hard on yourself–harder that you probably even can imagine–then it won't be as much of a shock when you start the physical and mental challenge of boot camp.
2. You may not get your choice of military jobs. You might have a wide choice available to you, but as a soldier you'll be part of the US military machine, and as such you'll go wherever there's most need at the time for the benefit of your country. This could be temporary, and you may get your choice later, too.
3. Don't think that you don't need to study or be mentally sharp. US soldiers take written tests, too.
4. Act honorable at all times, whether on based, on duty, or not.

- Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth: If you experience discomfort or pain when consuming hot, cold, or acidic foods and beverages, a desensitizing toothpaste can provide relief. These toothpaste formulas contain ingredients like potassium nitrate or arginine that help block the sensation of pain by sealing the exposed dentin.
- Whitening Toothpaste: For those seeking a brighter, more radiant smile, whitening toothpaste is a popular choice. This toothpaste contains mild abrasives and chemical agents like hydrogen peroxide or blue covarine, which help remove surface stains and whiten teeth over time.
- Toothpaste for Tartar Control: Tartar buildup can lead to gum disease and other dental issues. Tartar control toothpaste contains ingredients like pyrophosphates or zinc citrate that help prevent the formation of tartar and reduce its buildup.
- Children's Toothpaste: Specially formulated for younger mouths, children's toothpaste often contains lower levels of fluoride and comes in appealing flavors to encourage good brushing habits from an early age.
Considering Your Oral Health Needs
When choosing a toothpaste, it's essential to consider your specific oral health needs. If you're prone to cavities, a fluoride-rich toothpaste is a wise choice. If you have sensitive teeth, look for desensitizing formulas. If you're concerned about staining or want a brighter smile, whitening toothpaste may be the best option. It's also important to consider your age and stage of life, as different toothpaste may be more suitable for children, adults, or seniors.
Reading Toothpaste Labels
Once you've narrowed down your options based on your oral health needs, it's time to read the toothpaste labels carefully. Look for the American Dental Association (ADA) seal of approval, which indicates that the product has been thoroughly evaluated and meets the organization's safety and effectiveness standards. Additionally, pay attention to the ingredients list and any specific claims or benefits listed on the packaging.

A slot is a narrow opening in a machine or container that allows something to be inserted or removed. For example, a coin can be inserted into a slot on the side of a vending machine to collect a prize. A slot can also refer to a reserved time or place for an event, such as when someone books a slot on the calendar. A person can also use the word to describe a position or job, as in "She has a great slot as the company copy editor".
Online slots are fun and easy to play. They can even make you money if you know how to play them properly. Nevertheless, they are still gambling games, and it is important to remember that you should never gamble with more money than you can afford to lose. This is why it is important to learn the rules of online slots and how to manage your bankroll.
One of the most important things to keep in mind while playing slots is that they are a negative expectation game. This means that you will lose more often than you win, and you should therefore only risk money that you can afford to lose. To help you decide how much you can safely risk, you should go through your monthly finances and determine how much spare cash you have available. Once you have established how much you can risk, you should then allocate a percentage of it to playing online slots.
Another way to maximize your online casino experience is by joining a loyalty program. Loyalty programs offer members a variety of benefits, including free slot spins and merchandise. Some of these programs also have forums where you can interact with other players and share your strategies and tips. In addition, you can find out about the latest promotions and bonuses that are offered by your favorite online casino.
In addition to the loyalty program, you can also maximize your online slot experience by using a website that offers a wide variety of games. This will give you the opportunity to try out different types of slot machines and find your perfect match. There are many advantages to this type of site, including the fact that it is free to join and you can access it anywhere.
Another thing to consider when playing slots is that you should pick a realistic win goal. This is a percentage of your session bankroll that you want to win, and it should be enough to make you happy. Greed is the demise of many slot players, and it is important to avoid this trap by setting a win goal that you can be satisfied with. This will prevent you from becoming overly engrossed in the game and losing more money than you can afford to lose.

Welcome to the Self Made. This is a blog focused primarily on the self-employed and micro-business and full of fantastic posts by not only our team of experts but by YOU! We realize that there are many ways to help the small businesses out there which is why we invite other business minded individuals to post here and help the rest of the community as well.
As technology advances, more workers can work from home. Many companies have embraced remote working, allowing employees the flexibility to work where they want. While many employees greatly appreciate the option to work from home, their home environment is not always prepared to become a home office. A home office should be more than just a room to work in and a poor home office can negatively affect your work. Before you switch to remote work, it is a good idea to set up a home office that works for you. Here are a few tips and tricks you can use to create the perfect home office.
Just How You Like It
The beauty of working from home is that you can work in whatever environment you want. You are no longer bound by cubicles or fluorescent lighting. Take advantage of this freedom and build a workspace that works for you. Take a moment to consider what your ideal working environment looks like as no two people will have the same vision of home office perfection. Do you prefer sitting or standing while you work? Do you want a quiet environment or would you want to listen to music while working? Which direction do you want your desk to face, towards the window so you can look outside or towards a wall to avoid distractions? These questions and more are all important to consider when creating your perfect home office.
The Right Color
Research into color psychology has shown that the color of our environment can affect our productivity. For a home office, you are striving for a color that isn't agitating but also isn't depressing. Grays are a modern design staple, but gray walls can lead to a dreary atmosphere. White walls are a good default, but the stark color can be unpleasant over long periods. Blues, greens, and yellows are common paint colors for home offices as many people report those colors help them be more productive.
It is also a good idea to use colors in your home office that are different than the colors in the rest of your house. Separating your home office from the rest of your house helps establish the office as a place for work. Using different colors creates an unconscious boundary that helps you distinguish between and balance work life from home life.
Regardless of the paint color, you choose, look for paints without high levels of VOCs or volatile organic compounds. VOCs are partly responsible for that fresh paint smell as VOCs release gasses that are harmful to inhale. Thankfully, VOCs are being regulated more consistently, but it is better to find paint with organic pigments or low levels of VOCs.
Good Lighting
Lighting plays a large role in creating a home office you enjoy using. Poor lighting can alter colors, make a room feel smaller, and decrease your productivity. Avoid working in spaces that are dark as it will make staying awake more difficult and put unnecessary strain on your eyes. Natural light is ideal, so make use of any windows in your office to let sunlight in. When it comes to lightbulbs, consider swapping old incandescents for CFL or LED bulbs. CFL and LED bulbs shine brighter, last longer, and are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs.
The Right Temperature
It can be hard to focus on work when the room is too hot or too cold. It is worth stashing a sweater or blanket in your home office so that a cold day won't interrupt your work and you won't need to turn on the heat. A small desk fan can help you cool off during hot days without running the air conditioning.
Everything You Need
Keep everything you need for work in your office as getting up to fetch something in a different part of the house can lead to distractions. When you get up to grab a pen from the kitchen, you might end up doing the dishes or wiping down the counters simply because you are already there. Ensure everything you need is in your home office to limit distractions and excuses to put off your work.
Take the time to build your perfect home office that bolsters your productivity and allows you to work unhindered. Paint your office a color that you enjoy and is stimulating, but choose a color that is different from the other colors in your house to distinguish your office as a place for work. Use natural light when possible and swap old incandescent bulbs for CFL or LED lights. Keep a sweater and a fan in your office so you are prepared for any weather changes. Stock your office with everything you need for work to limit distractions from other parts of your house.

Of course, sometimes you may not even know where or how to begin a writing assignment. Perhaps you have never written an argumentative essay or are challenged by the sheer number of resources available on one of Shakespeare's works and want an example to point you in the right direction. If that is the case, then exploring our library of pre-written example essays is a great alternative. We have thousands of essays on a huge range of topics, which can help you familiarize yourself with a particular type of writing or a particular topic. These pre-written example essays are a great resource for students who are confident in their writing abilities, but uncertain about a particular genre or subject matter.

You need at least one good friend, parent, sibling, or even a small group with whom you can share things you've written. Choose these people carefully. Find people who also like to read or write and who will put some thought into the writings you share with them. These should not be people who will merely say, "Good job—I thought it was great!" Find people who are willing to offer you not only compliments but also constructive criticism. Let them know ahead of time that you want their honest opinion of your work, good or bad, and that you welcome their ideas for improvement. Give them plenty of time to read your work thoughtfully and get back to you with a response.
Once you've put your story or poem on the line for the opinions of your critique group, prepare yourself! Criticism is not always easy to take, especially when you have pored your soul into that piece of writing and feel that it represents your best work. Listening to feedback may be painful at first, but in the long run it may just be the best thing that could happen to your writing! Consider each suggestion carefully. You may not agree with all of them, and you don't have to make every change that everyone suggests. But be sure you evaluate each comment honestly and see whether it's a valid criticism. Have you really given your character a clear motive for running away? Is the long description of the character's past truly necessary to the plot? Is it really believable that Aunt Mabel would have a sudden change of heart at the end of the story and leave your character a large inheritance? Be willing to change some things and even rewrite entire portions if necessary. The only way to benefit from criticism is to listen to it—and learn from it.

I am fascinated by the positioning, as properly as the potential the website has general. For specific groups, such as BDSM groups, teams from other porn web site boards, swingers' groups, and more, creating an underground room may make plenty of sense. There are numerous rooms out there right here, masking a wide span of subjects. There is an area for swingers, locations the place individuals into kink can go, so people who find themselves in specific communities will find lots to offer. This can additionally be an excellent place for people who enjoy smaller and more personal communities and interacting with real people from all over the world. There aren't 1000's of people online on a daily basis, but there are real users.
Chatropolis appears like web sites did again within the day, before anyone had heard of WordPress templates or HD photographs. It's a simple-as-fuck design, white textual content on a black background with blue links. This is what each newbie web site seemed like within the old days, slapped along with a very basic understanding of HTML. There are tons of naughty rooms already, although, like Foot Fetish, Swingers, and Nudists. You'll should register to try this, nonetheless it's not sophisticated and also you won't be requested for bank card information.
Discretion is important and the creators of these sites get that totally. But if you're really apprehensive in regards to the outside world understanding your dirty little secrets and techniques, take a glance at one of the websites that doesn't require registration at all. These types of chat sites are additionally the quickest when it comes to getting straight to the saucy stuff. You'd assume that chat rooms are pretty self-explanatory, however as you've read, these sites are all totally different with features that make them distinctive.
In addition, folks can request to be a moderator for both new rooms or rooms that exist already. Those with premium memberships get extra perks and options, together with having the ability to lookup accounts. The conference chats are still in the process of being created and are coming quickly. In addition to requesting new rooms, check out all of the rooms that exist already on the website. More rooms are being added, with nudity and sexual enjoyable occurring often. Pay to Chat – You might browse at no cost, but your chats will go 'unheard' within the chat rooms until you pay for a membership. Upgrading doesn't cost an arm and a leg, like many different grownup chat sites do.
Create Your Own Room – You can create, dictate and moderate your individual chat room and create your individual algorithm that each one individuals must abide by. It's a simple-as-fuck design, white textual content on a black background with blue hyperlinks. This is what each novice website appeared like within the old days, slapped along with a very elementary understanding of HTML. But on the similar time, we don't assume you're going to spend a lot time there – but we can additionally be wrong! Customer service on the positioning is appropriate and there are numerous extra security/customer service associated selections 'coming soon' . Create Your Own Room – You can create, dictate and reasonable your individual chat room and create your particular person algorithm that each one individuals should abide by.
It was 1994 when Chatropolis first launched, so the positioning has been around for over two decades. In this time, it has grown and expanded to incorporate the most well-liked chat rooms. Many individuals draw back from chat rooms, though they're a incredible place to get to know random anonymous people and have some enjoyable. Users of the web site sometimes share photos of themselves but in addition share gifs, pics, and content material from other locations at occasions. There are tons of of rooms which are provided on this website, although they are not all lively on the identical time. Users have to be within the chat rooms to guarantee that them to be listed in the present room's part. Rooms on the positioning embrace issues like amateur's forum, black-and-white, celeb flesh, chicks with dicks, gangbang, bushy honeys, and others.
It additionally calls itself the ultimate stay masturbation expertise. If you couldn't inform by the name, Jerkmate will allow you to discover a jerk-off companion through their group chat classes or one-on-one chats. This particular person could presumably be your average man or gal, however they could also be an expert adult star. You can always anticipate clean video experiences when chatropoliscom you try cams. You can even anticipate to log on easily and stay for as lengthy as you want. Chatropolis has some critical flaws, principally related to their extraordinarily outdated design. That stated, they've managed to stick it out far longer than nearly some other website of the period, which tells you a large number about how a lot their users love the site.
Some are obviously taken from professional porn flicks, however there are lot of candid pictures probably stolen from Instagram or even Facebook. This chat web site is a superb location for people who love partaking with precise people from all around the world in smaller, extra intimate communities.

What we'll inform you is that Ashley Madison is a incredible method to meet others who want to have a naughty chat with you, taken or otherwise. This website might be one of the largest players in the grownup world, so they've obtained their geese in a row in phrases of functionality and navigation.
No matter how you want the chat to go down, you could make it occur. To create Underground CHATROPOLIS evaluation we checked Underground.chatropolis.com reputation at lots of websites, including Siteadvisor and MyWOT. Unfortunately, we did not discover enough data whether or not Underground.chatropolis is safe for youngsters or does not look fraudulent. Tranny chats are filed under Chicks With Dicks, and you'll discover the interracial action in the Black Cock, White Woman chat room.
There are plenty of members right here, a minimal of type my experience, nonetheless that can differ a lot… since I'm guessing not all of them shall be on-line always. Chatropolis must utterly redesign their website, make it further fashionable and hope this attracts some cunts into the rooms. Jesus Christ, I'll wager that I've seen more dick inside the final hour being in your chatrooms than I actually have on a number of of the homosexual porn websites I review! I know everyone thinks that I'm some type of cock-hungry man that has an element for dicks, however that's not true.
We're undecided – but then once more, the Chatropolis brand does not sell itself as being a match-maker. This web site is a world away from household names like Match.com – so customers shouldn't anticipate finding true love here. Lack of Activity – Generally, all spherical, there isn't much happening at Chatropolis actually. There is an absence of numbers and even those that are present are fairly quiet.
The web site furthermore choices an FAQ half in the menu bar – however as rapidly as more – this one can be 'coming soon' at the time of writing! So in reality, Chatropolis scores fairly low for buyer assist and security protocol. There are so many dirty rooms and naughty members on this website, that I am positive that you can see whoever you're trying to find. ISexyChat is a very intuitive, welcoming, navigable chat site that gives you more management than lots of the different websites we've lined.
In different words, don't pull out your junk on certainly one of these non-18+ websites earlier than figuring out who is on the other aspect of that webcam. LewdChat is dubbed as an adult matching site, but it's really an Internet Relay Chat platform that connects adults who wish to sext. This free web site allows for a seamless registration that will take you seconds. Once you affirm that you are over the age of 18, you'll be dropped at the chatting platform where you'll be prompted to provide your name, intercourse, age, and site.

You look across the table at your spouse of over 40 years. You've raised children together, traveled together, been through hard times together. For a while, though, something hasn't felt right. You're not the person you once were, and the comfort you used to feel just isn't there anymore. Could it be, you wonder? Could your marriage have really run its course?
This is an increasingly common story for Nebraskans and others across the country. While national divorce rates have largely stabilized, one group is experiencing a surge: people over the age of 50. In fact, so-called "gray divorce" rates have doubled since 1990, bringing with it several complex issues.
Asset Accumulation
While older couples may avoid difficult child custody disputes, asset division can be much costlier. After decades of marriage, you've likely accumulated quite a few things of significant emotional value. Deciding on the true financial worth of a lifetime's worth of belongings and categorizing them can be a huge challenge.
Investment And Retirement Accounts
Retirement funds are typically designed to remain intact, so dividing them can be a technical feat. Tax law often comes into play when these divisions occur, which an experienced divorce lawyer will need to handle.
Commingled Assets
The longer a marriage has lasted, the greater the likelihood of "commingling," which means that property or assets once separately owned by one spouse have now made the transition to joint ownership. This can happen because you used jointly-owned funds for upkeep or renovation, or because both parties worked to maintain the asset.
Whatever the case may be, understand that the emotional status of an asset may not conform to its actual legal status. Just because you think of something as "yours" doesn't mean a court will view it the same way.
Division Of Debt
Older couples often have debts to divide as well, sometimes from multiple properties, or debt used to bolster other investments. Because Nebraska is a so-called "equitable distribution" state, a judge will have significant leeway to determine what settlement is most fair to both parties, which may not be a simple 50-50 split. If you're not careful, you could end up burdened with an undue share of debt, which can be difficult to pay off later in life.
For these and other reasons, it's essential that you consult an experienced attorney if you're considering divorce after decades of marriage. Not only will you avoid some common pitfalls, you'll also minimize the emotional toll as much as you possibly can, which is often the greatest cost of all.

Network and Learn
Sometimes you can meet people in your network that have a lot to teach you. Which is how I ended up learning more about Facebook ads from PRKriystna. Or you find a mentor who can tell you about their own experiences like Amy Dionne. Or you want to run ideas by someone and you find a professional contact.
There's only so much self-teaching you can fit in during the day – I'm trying to learn code with Code Academy, reading daily articles from HubSpot and Digiday, and writing to keep myself fresh.
Sometimes that person isn't in your network yet and you need to go out and find them. Or at least find a place to learn.
Networking events are not the best place to learn, but there are some geared toward teaching around topics with the benefit of networking. These events don't have to be industry conferences or weekend seminars. They can be monthly events with people in your area.
Networking events to attend
- Social Media Breakfast
- American Marketing Association (AMA) Academy
- AMA Luncheons
- Houston Interactive Marketing Association (HIMA) events
- Business Marketing Association (BMA) luncheons
Start with these types of activities and see what you can learn. I went to a great networking event this morning about social media automation. It was a worthwhile few hours spent learning, building my network with people in my field, and potentially meeting new clients.
You don't have to be a marketer to attend! Small business owners and companies like to drop into these places to see where they can grow their initiatives, what changes there have been, and to create connections with marketers that can grow their business.
Online networking
While networking online can be helpful, it's not always the most fruitful way to spend your time. Find Facebook Groups that inspire you, Twitter chats that rock, some sites to subscribe, and inspirational podcasts.
Try not to get too sucked into the black hole of the internet in the search for knowledge. Soon you'll find yourself on Wikipedia trying to find out when the last time that Vanilla Ice released an album.
Learning by doing is the next step. Find the clients that will let you experiment in a new area and build that into your budget with them.

Got home and auto several years ago. Lost house and vehicles due to a fire. They were awesome to deal with once the cause of the fire had been determined. Two million dollar claim was handled very professionally and with compassion. I went with Metlife because of the price. They were the cheapest when I had teen age drivers in the family. I will stay with them because of the way they treated me after the fire. You never know how good your insurance company is until you have a major claim.
The General was founded in 1963 as Permanent General Agency, and later sold products as Permanent General Assurance Corporation (PGAC). In 1997 the name The General came into use, although the company remains officially PGAC. The following year, American Family Insurance acquired The General, although they continue to operate as a separate company. The company is currently headquartered out of Nashville, Tennessee.
Rental Reimbursement is an optional coverage that you can pay for, in the event that your car is in the shop due to a covered accident, and you still need to get to work or perform your daily tasks. There are different limits that you can choose from to be properly covered when renting another car. Rental car coverage can add up quickly after an accident, and this additional coverage might be worth the extra cost after an accident.

Being in the business for a very long time, I have found that most people are clueless about insurance, even most agents who sell them. I will agree that their rates are cheap. But I wouldn't recommend them. Inexperienced adjusters. They do not fully investigate. The policy does not cover like, kind, and quality which is bad if you have a new vehicle.
The General's coverage options are, quite frankly, barebones protections. While there are some supplemental options like roadside assistance and rental reimbursement, don't expect the luxury of accident forgiveness. And when you need to file a claim, you'll have to do so over the phone — though it offers live chat and online policy management, The General doesn't allow its customers to file claims without talking to a representative.

Allstate scored in the middle of the pack in J.D. Power's 2018 Auto Insurance Study (mostly due to its higher premiums), but we'd still recommend it over The General. It dwarfs The General when it comes to discounts and supplemental coverage — meaning that going with The General's cheaper sticker price doesn't actually guarantee that you'll pay less.

This company is full of incompetent people. We called them to ask what we need to do to have our insurance renewed, their "worker" said that we don't need to do anything that because we have automatical payment set up, everything will be done automatically. After two weeks we get notification from MVA to confirm our insurance and to find out that they insurance was not renewed even thought they said they will. When we called them again to ask for explanation all they said that they are sorry that they can not do anything for us. Long story short

They say month to month. They cancel you if payment is not made on due date. But still take your money after due date. Was late on payment. Made payment over weekend. Had an accident over weekend and now my claim was denied. Because they didn't get it till Monday. But thank me for my payment that Saturday for payment. Bottom line - don't make any payments over the weekend with the General. RIP to the General. No car and lawsuit from other driver insurance company. Stressed. Don't know what to do. Merry no Christmas to my grandchildren.
Matthew thanks for posting this. You're absolutely right. USAA has gone down the tubes, I dont get it, a simple claim recently for auto, turned into a nightmare. bouncing my calls all over the country with a bunch of idiots for claim reps answering the phones, and forcing my car into total loss when it should not have been, and paying only a portion of the damage even though I have collision.

Dancing, with her arms up around my neck, it raised up to the bottom of her ass cheeks. Mom and Dad was writing every day keeping each other up to date on their day to day happenings.

Not wanting to scare her, but wanting to take a chance, I pulled the top of my shorts down to expose my boxers, and pulled my cock out through the opening in front of them.
Hair brush. Ethan's mouth and lips now trekked downward. You really. Oh, no, Jen spoke up, That was all Russs doing, then she smiled at me. He refuses to be seen. I'll talk with you later.
I laughed and looked down at myself with playful, exaggerated disappointment, wearing just black swimming shorts and a dark-blue, sporty t-shirt, snuggly hugging my frame.
Im going to go home 'sick'. I went to unlace the fucking uncomfortable corset when she pushed the button again. One of the big topics was the possibility of a very large raider tribe on the other side of the Spine of the World mountain range, way up toward the North.
It is as long as she's my secretary. Newnen's dick. Her fingertips dance across my jawline.

Another reason behind misgiving that women have is that the fear of ostracism and being ridiculed. Many are afraid that their friends will think them slutty, distressed or pitiful for getting which others see as a last resort for dating and meeting individuals.
For men, their relationships with women specify who they are. That's good online dating messages when things are not going well, it feels like a never- ending tsunami of frustration, angst, and failure after failure. . . and when it feels like there is an upturn in fortunes( when you meet a girl who genuinely seems interested in you) , everything comes crashing back down to earth when she does not return your calls, or when she starts to behave all flakey on you, or if she stands you up on dates!

Therefore, more pressure would rely to make a fantastic impression not just on you, but in your friends- - whom the date only understands will offer their opinions after the outing. And, clearly, there's the safety aspect for your own date to think about.
Ask yourself these questions: When you don't have time, what can you make time for? Whenyou're speaking, what matters fill you with excitement or curiosity and energize you? When you don't have a lot of cash left, what can you find cash for? What do you do if money was not a problem? Such questions help you identify your best values and passions in life.

When you want to spark the fire in your relationship butyou're not sure what you need to do, the best place to start is at the start. Think about the things that you used to do to your spouse.
You must suggest instead of stating it, you have other options that are sexual. A means to do this is by demonstrating that you are not concerned about her interest in you personally and indifferent to receiving her acceptance. Indifference can be revealed in various ways like ignoring her questions using grammar and punctuation, teasing her playfully, and responding to her actions without emotion.
Most importantly, as possible the goal of the online dating profile is to receive as many dates that are in- person. You can't get dates if you do not have a good profile which shows off your personality and your position in the best light possible.

In my handbag I had amount and the name of a teen casual sex xbidros who specialized in addiction problems, along with a list of of the local AA meetings. I handed these things to Bill and said, " I'm so sorry, but you basically only have, for example, twenty five hours to decide if you want to speak to these folks. Because I have to Fort Assiniboine backpage escorts exposed the apartment search going. That afternoon Bill known as the psychiatrist.

The seven year sobriety coin the day after he died among his AA friends came and gave Alex which Bill would have received had he been well enough to go to the meeting. Peering into a martini, and the girls room mirror at the waterside grille and a half into my adventure, I devised a test.

This is the time for some reflection. Allow yourself to be more offered to answer questions such as the ones I've listed below. They'll help you acquire an understanding of what occurred so you do not put yourself up to repeat similar relationship and dating patterns with a man.
Online, any understanding of body language( that you ought to be growing) and the first belief of your voice have been ruled out, at least to begin with. In the world, confidence and body language are a few of your assets that are principal.
With your friends' understanding of you both, there's a heightened chance of common ground between the both. At the very least, the chances are better that you will not get linked to a terrible choice. Blind dates don't always make a love connection.

" Well, where I come from, when a woman stays at a guy's home immediately, there is a reason, and that backpage escorts billings Fort Assiniboine AB usually entails a whole lot of sex. " I could not help but chuckle as he wiggled his tiny frame while he spoke in an effort to make a point.
Choose fun activities to do You can dine in a restaurant at a wholesome pizza Fort Assiniboine AB casual sex torrent or sandwich shop as opposed to going to a nightclub. You must also prevent watching a film for your initial huge date since you will certainly not have a great deal of chances to speak. You can go to parks, museums, enjoyment centers, and other enjoyable areas that are risk- free and public.

ENZED Workout split and why it works
The ENZED Fitness workout split
We've established why weight training and functional training are great for your health and fitness goals, but how exactly should you go about incorporating these types of training into your workout routine? Below is the ENZED Fitness training split that we have found to be highly effective in helping achieve your goals and why:
Day | Muscle group |
Monday | Chest, triceps, hamstrings & core |
Tuesday | Full body & core blast |
Wednesday | Back, quads, biceps & core |
Thursday | Full body & core |
Friday | Shoulders, abs & core blast |
Saturday | Full body & core |
There are many different ways to incorporate weight training and functional training into your routine. If you are looking to train a minimum of 3 days a week we would recommend selecting the days that target specific muscle groups or select these muscle groups or if you feel you need to build muscle more in certain areas. Where if 1-2 days a week is more achievable for you then a full body option would be recommended for best results.
Below is some reasons why the different types of training splits work:
Benefits of a specific muscle group splits
– Balance across the body
When training for generalised health and fitness, it is important to have a balance of training across muscle groups. If specific areas are trained harder than others, an imbalance can form in the body. This can lead to postural issues, injury, muscle tightness and over development.
– Recovery
It is important to give muscle groups enough rest to allow them to recover and grow. Undergoing strength training causes lactic acid to be released into the blood and the muscle tissue of the targeted area begins to break down. This can lead to muscles soreness and fatigue. The healing process is important in weight training as it allows the muscle fibres to recover and increase strength in the muscle group. By having a muscle group split in training, each muscle group can be given adequate time to recover and therefore for strength to increase.
– Stabilising the Core
There are many benefits to incorporating specific core training into muscle group splits. Training the core encourages balance and stability in the body. This is essential for healthy posture that can prevent pain and injury, preventing falls and improving performance in day to day activities.
Benefits of full-body training
– Maximum calorie burn
By targeting all the major muscle groups in the body, energy requirements are higher. The working muscles require more oxygen and for waste to be removed from the working muscles. This leads to an immediate higher calorie burn in a shorter period of time.
– Missed sessions
When it comes to your workout week, we all know there are constantly life hurdles popping up. Full body sessions target all of the muscles and as mentioned above, burn a stack of calories. If you're prone to a busy lifestyle then full body session can be a great bang for buck.
– Cardiovascular health
Cardiovascular fitness refers to how efficient the body is at utilising oxygen when the muscles of the body are working. Full-body training is a great way to improve cardiovascular fitness as more muscles are working than isolated training and therefore the body is forced to become more efficient at distributing oxygen to the working muscles.

As the world becomes more conscious of the impact of human activities on the environment, sustainable living and eco-friendly practices are gaining traction. These practices focus on reducing our ecological footprint and promoting a more sustainable future for generations to come. In this article, we will explore some simple yet effective tips for sustainable living and eco-friendly practices that you can incorporate into your daily routine.
Also Read: Erika Tureaud: All About Lesa Tureaud's Sister
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
One of the most effective ways to promote sustainable living and reduce your environmental impact is by adopting the 3 R's: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Start by reducing your consumption of single-use plastics and paper products. Instead, opt for reusable alternatives such as cloth shopping bags, water bottles, and food containers. When possible, choose products made from recycled materials.
Save Water
Water is a precious resource, and conserving it is crucial for sustainable living. Start by fixing any leaks in your home and installing low-flow showerheads and faucets. Take shorter showers and turn off the water when brushing your teeth. Additionally, consider collecting rainwater to use for watering your plants and garden.
Conserve Energy
Reducing energy consumption is another essential aspect of sustainable living. You can start by switching to energy-efficient light bulbs and appliances. Turn off lights and unplug appliances when not in use. Use a programmable thermostat to regulate the temperature in your home and reduce heating and cooling costs.
Choose Sustainable Products
When shopping, choose products that are sustainably produced and packaged. Look for labels that indicate the product is made from renewable resources or is biodegradable. Additionally, consider purchasing products from companies that prioritize sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
Go Solar
Switching to solar energy is a significant step towards sustainable living. Solar panels can be installed on your roof to provide clean, renewable energy for your home. While the initial cost of installation can be high, it can pay off in the long run by significantly reducing your energy bills.
Plant Trees and Support Local Agriculture
Planting trees is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and promote sustainable living. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, making them a crucial part of our ecosystem. Additionally, supporting local agriculture by purchasing produce from local farmers can help reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation.
Reduce Meat Consumption
Reducing meat consumption is another effective way to promote sustainable living. The meat industry is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation. Consider incorporating more plant-based meals into your diet and reducing your consumption of animal products.
Composting is an eco-friendly way to reduce waste and promote sustainable living. Food scraps, yard waste, and other organic materials can be composted and used as fertilizer for plants and gardens. Composting also reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, where it can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Use Alternative Transportation
Using alternative transportation methods such as biking, walking, or public transportation can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Consider carpooling or using a hybrid or electric vehicle if you must drive.
Educate Others
Finally, educating others about sustainable living and eco-friendly practices is essential for promoting a sustainable future. Share your knowledge and experiences with friends and family and encourage them to adopt eco-friendly practices in their daily lives.
In conclusion, sustainable living and eco-friendly practices are crucial for reducing our environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable future. By adopting the tips outlined in this article, you can make a significant contribution towards a more sustainable world. Let us all do our part in promoting sustainable living for a better future.

Disallowance u/s 36(1)(iii) shall not be made if interest free loan is given to a relative out of free reserves : P&H HC
In a recent decision, Hon'ble Gujarat High Court held that:
The appellant's case is that an amount of 8.89 crores was advanced by the respondent/assessee to his son. The assessee on the other hand contends that during the AY in question 2008-2009, only about Rs. 2.14 crores was advanced by him to his son. It would make no difference. The Tribunal has rightly upheld the detailed and reasoned order of the CIT (A). The CIT (A) has analyzed the cash available with the respondent. It was not the case of the AO that the assessee had diverted the funds borrowed on interest for the purpose of advancing the sum to his son for business. The Tribunal noted that the AO had in fact accepted that no such borrowed funds had been diverted/advanced by the assessee to his son. There was no nexus between the funds borrowed by the assessee and the funds diverted/advanced to his son. There were free reserves available with the assessee to advance the interest free loan to his son. It is not possible to hold that the appreciation of these facts was perverse or absurd. No question of law, therefore, arises in this regard either.

Could You Live Again? - Poem by Usman Hanif
o'! the dead one, could you live again?
to see on my wry face, that grin again
to let me forget all the bitter thoughts
to clear my vision, could you live again?
to let my wet eyes see something seen before
to be with, with whom i had always been before
to let me bring back all the rusted memory
to let me think again, could you live again?
yes, i know the dead ones could never live
that taken one can He never again give
if you were alive, then i would also be
to see me dead, could you live again?
the flowers blossom, but the bees never hum
dead leaves of autumn fly in the rain
the spring of my mind has become the autumn
to change the weather, could you live again?
loitering in the graveyard of the world
i am like a dead body living without you
my body emptying without soul and blood
to bury my corpse, could you live again?

Interview: Brandon Uranowitz's Personal Journey to Leopoldstadt
Leopoldstadt is Tom Stoppard's most personal play. But the story isn't just close to him; it's close to his cast, as well. In particular, Brandon Uranowitz, who is currently Tony nominated for his dual roles in the decades-spanning drama, recognizes a lot of his own family history involved, as well. Here, Uranowitz tells us about the extra special experience.
This conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity.
Knowing your work, I was surprised when I found out that the Outer Critics Circle Award you just won for Leopoldstadt was your first award ever.
Yeah. I mean, it's nice to hear that it's surprising people. [laughs] That was surprising to a lot of folks, and I was like, "No, literally never." Just the perennial bridesmaid. There's been something really useful for me, I think, as an artist, to be in the conversation but not a winner necessarily. It's helped me feel like I'm part of something bigger. I don't know. I've gotten used to not winning things and it makes the process a lot more joyful, because it's not really about that. It's about the community getting together and saying, "This is what we think to be the best work of the season." To be included in that conversation is all that I need to feel like I'm doing my job. I don't need to be, quote-unquote, the best. But it's also nice to win. I'm just very grateful to be part of it in any way.
Leopoldstadt is a very personal play for Stoppard – it's based somewhat on his family history. As a Jewish actor yourself, does your background relate?
My mom's side of the family came over many years ago from Russia, but the most present tether to the Jewish experience that I had growing up was the Holocaust, because some of my dad's side of the family escaped just in time, and some of them didn't make it. We had one survivor come over, my great aunt, and she was the only living survivor who went through the entire experience. She survived the camps and lost her whole family, her husband, her son. And she came over and had a tiny little bungalow and we would go multiple times a year to visit her, and there was no visit that was not, in some way, inclusive of a conversation about her experience. So this play is just very deep. It's bigger than me. It's bigger than Tom. It's bigger than any one of us. It's a deeply personal obligation that I have to my own family.
Was meeting Tom Stoppard terrifying?
The idea of Stoppard is infinitely more terrifying than Stoppard himself. Tom Stoppard is a cuddly teddy bear.
I was shopping the other day and he called me, which was crazy. I'm standing by the vinegars on the phone with Tom Stoppard and he told me multiple times that he loves me. Not in a "Thank you, I love you for doing this thing for me" kind of way, but in a "I love you, you're part of a greater network of family ties that I have" way. That counterbalances my preconceived notions of who he was the day he arrived at our rehearsal studio.
And let me tell you, the arrival of Tom was blooming over the entire thing. I don't think I've ever been more nervous my whole life. Not on an opening night, not any of the nights I was at the Tonys. This was the most nervous I have ever been in my whole life. I'm sure you know; the idea of Tom Stoppard very much matches his stature. He's very tall. So that was scary. But he's the kindest, gentlest person. This being his most deeply personal work yet, that tenderhearted approach he has to the work was felt in the room with him.
In the Broadway economy where many plays run for two or three months before closing, what is it like to now have done Leopoldstadt for nine months?
It's just been a wild experience. I'm very grateful for the work and I try to be as present as possible. It's just one of those things that you can't ever phone in, not that I'm one to phone it in. This play, in particular, you have to show up with every fiber of your being; otherwise, not only are you doing a disservice to the play, but to humanity in some way. Not to be so hyperbolic about it, but this story is so immense and important. And to show up like that every night for nine months is very exhausting.
I'll be honest with you. I'm a little nervous that I have made this play my entire identity, so I'm nervous for when July 2 comes and I have to look in the mirror and be like, "Who the fuck are you?" But I'm also deeply grateful for it because it has filled me with a sense of purpose. It helps me to wake up every morning. Everything can feel really bleak now, and the play itself is very bleak, but it's urgent. That sense of urgency helps me get through it every night.
It's also…In my opinion, beyond its connection to my own family, a beautiful play and I love doing it, and I love the people that I do it with.
