LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — Sen. Elizabeth Warren is once again taking aim at Donald Trump, calling him a "fraudster-in-chief" whose top goal is lining his own pockets.
The Massachusetts Democrat and enthusiastic critic of the Republican presidential hopeful used a speech at the Massachusetts Democratic Party's state convention Saturday to zero in on Trump University.
Warren says Trump put together an army of salespeople to focus on how much money prospective students could come up with before pushing them to max out their credit cards and fork over tens of thousands of dollars.
Trump University is the target of lawsuits that accuse the business of fleecing students with unfulfilled promises to teach them the secrets of real estate success.
Trump has said customers were overwhelmingly satisfied.

Enjoying your August long weekend holiday?
In a way should you thank black (Canadian) people for that day off from work.
It's because of people that look like me that you can enjoy Canadiana sipping beer on a Muskoka chair at your cottage in Muskoka.
You are welcome, Canada.
The link between black people and the first Monday off in August may seem a bit bizarre; however, there's the (big) little known black Canadian history of Simcoe Day.
In 1793, Ontario's (Upper Canada's) first Lieutenant Governor, John Graves Simcoe, passed the Anti-Slavery Act that officially barred the importation of slaves to the province. While slavery was not officially abolished in Canada and the British Empire until 1834, Simcoe's move would have effectively ended slavery in Upper Canada, with or without the consent of the British.
Simcoe did this before the British abolished the Slave Trade in 1807.
Simcoe did this before the British abolished the institution of slavery in its colonies in 1834.
All of this in what was to become Canada. Not the United States, but Canada.
(Somewhere out there Drake needs to stand up and write a song about this fact for people to understand that his OVO concert takes place on a weekend made possible by a person that fought for the freedom of his ancestors. Well, at least the black half of his ancestors.)
Furthermore, the significance of "Black August" pulls to the official abolition of slavery in Canada (which was still a British colony until 1867), on August 1st, 1834. Exactly 180 years ago, Black people across the British world -- including Canada -- were set free from centuries of enslavement.
Emancipation Day may be non-existent in Canada; however, it is a big deal particularly in the West Indies.
I remember going to Barbados' Emancipation Day celebrations back in 1998 where Fidel Castro addressed the crowd. I don't know how many people have had the opportunity to hear Castro speak, but considering he is one of the most influential individuals of the 20th century, it's a pretty big deal.
Emancipation Day is a big deal. And whether we know it or not, it's a fundamental feature of Canadian history.
In August.
Then we have Caribana.
They may have changed the name and the parade route, but the month-long festivities with the culmination of the parade in Toronto, brings over a million people to celebrate black and West Indian culture in Canada.
Considering in the last census Canada's Black population was not even one million people, I think that's a pretty big deal.
For once, let's stop lumping black Canadian history and black American history as one common thing. Black History Month in February was adopted in the U.S. by an African American, for African Americans.
How about we as black Canadians adopt August for black Canadians?
As I chipped down the Lakeshore during the Caribana parade near Fort York, on the shores of Lake Ontario, in the capital of Ontario, I remembered that my freedom was all made possible 180 years ago.
In August.

Preppy nursing fashionista
I had a friend describe my style as 'preppy' a few months back. I always termed this 'modern classics' myself, but OK, preppy. It fits. I'm a sailing mom in a midwest college town, and I love beaches up north Michigan. Yeah, that'd be preppy.
So what's the preppy nursing fashionista wearing these spring days? I love a striped top with wide leg pants. It just feels so summery. But of course my boat neck striped top is not nursing compatible. I define this as it covers my belly AND breasts. I get by this by wearing a nursing camisole, but I am also going to sew a nursing top (Jalie 3132, with some mods for a different neckline, a lapped bateau neck).
This mama pairs this outfit with a big sailing canvas tote. I have bunches – made from actual sails which are not as nice as the one I saw at Land's End Canvas tonight, of course, since they're cut from 30 year old sails left in someone's attic (or the sailing club, for years!) But I think if I found one of the white-ish ones, added some blue canvas trim, and leather handles, it would be a chic version of my grocery shopping and boat sail totes.
Wedges. Boot cut jeans, a pretty top with a seersucker jacket belted over it (this is why you need a nursing top, otherwise, every time babe/toddler asks to nurse, you're unbuckling belt, opening jacket… yada, yada.Of course you could buy a cheap or thrifted striped tee and follow these instructions for making a nursing one to wear under a jacket, too.
Yeah, I could rock that as a casual friday or weekend look. Preppy, indeed. This summer, hoping to finally get out sailing again, now that our toddler is a bit older (2 in June) and our preschooler will big enough and experienced enough around the boat to be reasonably helpful.
I also have docksiders, the actual Sperry ones, that I bought years ago at a marine flea market (about 15 years ago). They're in good shape, but my foot got bigger after babies and they're tiiiight, so I don't like wearing them a lot. I need to stretch them out somehow. Of course I don't wear any of this on the actual boat 😉 It's more like shorts, a tee shirt (nursing is fine) and Keen sandals.
Winter basics and some shoppin'
I pulled this from BurdaStyle (the German web site). I have inherited a couple pairs of 'carrot' pants, vintage Escada, and am making them skinnier at the ankles like this pair. I like the roomy trouser look as well. But I can see how these look great with a cape, so I'm going to try them. Yes, I wore them once, you know, back in the 1980s, and, yes, I'm trying it again.
I also visited my local consignment boutique with my extra fancy local daily deals coupon and I shopped. Oh boy did I! I had two hours to myself, it was a blast. I tried on nearly everything I liked that was in my size, and came home with a bunch of new stuff to invigorate my wardrobe. I got five jackets or cardigans – two cardi's – one a cropped-sleeve one, a ruffled one, a gray jacket, a teal velveteen, a black leather and a pea-green leather(!) Very cool. I also got two dressy wide leg trousers, a pair of trouser jeans in a dark flare, a pair of cream corduroys (to replace my very old/too large ones) and two pairs of shoes, platform purple suede peep toes, and silver ballerina. A very nice haul and I'm pleased with everything. I still covet a cape I saw there, but I'll check back in a week or so and see if it's on sale. (you know more of a sale than a consignment shop would usually have!!)
I've made no secret I don't buy new clothes (well, hardly ever). Shoes, yes, accessories, yes, but not clothes. I save so much by buying used, and I find I shop with more, well, restraint. I won't like everything, a lot won't fit (must have tried on every pair of size 4 jeans I liked, only to discover I'm a 0/2 size jean (!) I tried on a bunch of THOSE too, before finding one pair that actually fit my waist. I think I paid $12 for them. I can also buy higher quality items that way, and still spend as little as if I'd have shopped at a discount fashion store. Plus, we have a proliferation of nice upscale consignment shops, several decent middle-of-the-road ones, and then the usual dive-thrift stores. None that are truly scary, I would not take my kids there if it were.
So it was a good day for my wardrobe. Tomorrow, running and yoga. A good day for my health.
This just makes me happy
Lovely, just lovely. Look at all those colors! If I had a grand to spend and had to spend it (because I'd probably save it, in my retirement account!) I'd buy 10 pairs (and ask for a volume discount!!) I am obsessed with ballerina flats. I can't really tolerate high heels every day anymore, with running and two very small kids. But ballerinas, they just make me happy. I will have to save up for a pair or two of these this winter 😉
DIY No-sew nursing tops
This is a super easy tute, and cheap to do. You can purchase inexpensive knit shirts, or get some from thrift or second-hand stores. Don't be afraid to cut up a trendy tee with some detail at the neckline or down the front, to make stylish versions of this. I've used a basic tee from my Goodwill bag.
Lay your tee shirts on a flat surface. Measure down from the neck/shoulder edge
to 12.5″ and put a pin at the sideseam. This is about the right measurement for almost any nursing mom (assuming the tee fits you in the bust). Then, using a curved ruler (this is a french curve) or even just hand-drawing a curve, cut a shallow curved shape in from the sideseam, curving up to the shoulder. You'll be cutting the sleeve off close to where it's sewn on, making a low-armhole tank top.
Then, you wear this tank under a jacket or cardigan as I've shown here, and when you want to nurse, just reach inside and pull the lowered armhole across to access your breast.
You can even sew these too – any basic shell (woven fabric) or tank top pattern will do just fine. You do not need to finish the armseye edges if it's a knit fabric. This can go dressy in silk under a work blazer or leather jacket. It can go casual in knit cotton under a denim jacket.
The peach knit top example was too large for me, so I added pintucks across the midriff to cinch it up a little. This involved actual sewing 😉
My fantasy travel packing list…
…I pack for a sun vacation like this: swimsuit, sexy maillot style (it's what all the French girls wear…)poncho, wide legged linen pants, wrap skirt, big sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen.
That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. It all fits into a swank carry on. I have some chic oversized bag to go along with this, my e-book reader and an ipod. Could I travel this light? Could I travel this light on this trip? It's not looking like it – the problem is, not that I don't have laundry facilities, or even these items, it's that I want to take more. I have so many fun things I'd like to take!
But in this fantasy world, I'm on a yacht in Greece (I do know how this works, I have sailed on a yacht in Greece…) and this is my single bag and I cruise down to the cobalt seas of the Adriatic (though I actually sailed the Ionian.) I am hanging out with a rich guy (maybe my guy, but somehow we are rich). Our children are there, and they, too, impeccably dressed. Someone else fixes PB&J for them though, while I sip a cocktail. And of course I am dressed in my black maillot, wide leg linen pants and big sun hat with oversize sunglasses.
And to add to this fantasy, I've sewn this all myself, every piece. Lest you think I'm crazy, this all started with a pattern I saw on Ebay. I was going to buy it, but the only thing I really needed was the swimsuit (I have a zillion poncho patterns, even more wide leg pants patterns, and at least three or four wrap skirts, maybe five or six). I do have a maillot pattern, of course, this one was more of a plunging neck halter maillot, rather than the classic style. But I didn't buy the pattern. Yet. But I do want to sew, and I set myself a goal to someday, pack just like this for one trip. The islands. a private plane…oh who am I kidding? It'll be coach, but I am seriously doing that trip.
The best thing about sewing is this wardrobe is in your reach for, oh, about $50. $6.99 for the vintage pattern. Say, five yards of some gauzy fabric for the poncho and skirt. Two yards of linen or chambray for the pants. One yard of swimwear fabric (you could get by with one suit, though they show two). One yard cotton twill for the hat. Voila! Nine yards of fabric, if you shop well (that is, coupon, sale, your friend's stash @ $4.50 per yard – average – totally doable). YOU could be this glamorous for $50 and a couple weekends of sewing. For an extra $6 you could get a print swimsuit fabric and make two! (swimsuits are easy and fun to make!)
The most fun thing of all though is how a pattern sparks this idea. This daydream of sailing in Greece (it's been twenty years this year), this fantasy brought to you by a single vintage pattern I happened to stumble across on ebay.
woo hoo! I won!
I won a gift certificate to Motherwear! This is a breastfeeding clothing web site, from which, I own a lot of their tops and dresses. They're always coming out with new designs, which I like. And I comment in their blog, which is how I won! I read their blog when I pump milk for my baby. Anyway, I decided to get a few tops I can layer under things now, and wear in the spring and summer. I expect to still be nursing by then. She could surprise me, but I think I'm pretty safe, because I can wear tops under sweaters and jackets now at least.
So that takes a bit of pressure off sewing nursing tops a bit. I do still need to sew some non nursing tops, especially Christine Jonson's patterns. And I do want to sew a long sleeved nursing dress or two (and the wicking turtleneck for skiing).
Part of why I love sewing for nursing is that whole form-follows-function that I get into. Ever since I could remember, I have wanted my clothing to be perfect for me – and that's centered largely around functionality.
I wanted to sew when I was pregnant, too, for the same reason. But I got blindsided first by multiple miscarriages, and then, when I finally felt comfortable (and not nauseaus), I was put on bedrest and given only a short time left to be pregnant. So I've dived into the nursing clothing with gusto. Perhaps even more gusto than I should have!
Aah, probably not. I think whatever motivates you to sew, is a good motivator. If I could stay pregnant easily, I'd have sewn the greatest maternity wardrobe ever. I still keep the patterns (I'm not alone, I inherited one from a mother who's son started college this past year!) I'm not sure why. But I do hold out hope that I'll use them again (hopefully for myself). And the next time, if I know in advance that I'm going ahead, I may just sew in advance, the hell with it. Of course, I'm in much clearer spot now – I've succeeded at having a baby (with an enormous amount of help, that's in my other blog) and so being confident in sewing is easier than it was before.
The other thing I have to address is the fact that my office is frigid. It's always cold, so I bundle up, but I don't want to be wrapped up in ruana til March, no matter how nice of one it may be.
Turtlenecks, scarves, layers, warm wool pants….they all work. I inherited a gorgeous pair of merino wool flannel trousers that FEEL as soft as cotton flannel (they're unlined). I'm shocked at how nice they are. They'd look yummy with my red capelet and a cashmere turtleneck. Or my slate blue Parisian poncho. They are fairly wide, roomy, pleated high-waist pants (I read in Lucky this month that at vintage stores, they cannot keep the high waisted pleated trousers in stock.) They're very Katherine, actually.
It's time to get sewing this week. No matter the reason, it's good to be sewing again.
More consignment shopping
I took off to my fave consignment boutique again. Shorts and skirts for summer. They had lots in sale, but not a lot of shorts. I got what I could find that fit, and also got a skirt. So two pieces, not bad. I had little time, had the baby with me in her stroller (well, correction, toddler, in stroller). And you know how toddlers shorten your time for shopping!
But I did buy a fabulous cobalt blue purse at another boutique in town. I was leaving church (again with said toddler in stroller) and stopped in another boutique. I wasn't even really looking for a bag to replace the diaper bag that gave up the ghost – you know I'd planned to sew one. But, there it was, cobalt blue, soft and squooshy, pretty and big. I'm sure it's not leather, but it's the softest, most amazing non-leather leather I've EVER seen. Billabong is the brand, I hadn't heard of it, but apparantly, from googling it, it's quite popular. I liked it. It's nice. And a smashing summer color!
It's very WNTW of me too. I'll use it with the striped skirt I got on Sat. with a green top, the green vintage tulip short sleeved cardi, the green espadrilles and the cobalt bag, with a cobalt scarf (with green on the edges). it'll be very a chic Monday tomorrow 😉
What is it with the shoes?
Am I that skinny? I stepped on the scale after dinner, 110 lbs. My lowest is 109 (in the last 20 years) and that was last month. But that still doesn't explain how an 8N from three years ago in my collection fits fine, but an 8N now is swimmingly wide! The cork wedges are going back….sigh, my fourth pair back. Hubs didn't understand "why not go try them on at the store?" because no one carries 8N in the store!! Anyway, it is a drag. I did put cute pink SummerSoles suede insoles in my white sandals in my collection. They'll be great with the HotPatterns Sugar Babe pants in linen this summer. And they didn't cost me a dime (this year anyway.)
I also bought some thread and the steam a seam that I needed to finish the Hot Patterns Sugar Babe tube top from my MINI SWAP for this spring. We have til July, but it's halfway to June now. And I still have the Burda shirtdress in denim to tackle (slooowly, see my previous post.)
I'm itching for a new handbag for summer. I've got to go stash diving and see what I have. I think I'll make a commercial pattern – sometimes that's easier and gets me over the hump of having to design something. Right now, I need easy.
Shoes again…
I returned the shoes. Two pairs. I kept the green wedge espadrilles with the flower on the wedge though. And I ordered some cork wedges in white. We'll see if they fit. I ordered an 8N at naturalizer, hoping this particular one fits.
I didn't do any sewing this weekend – it was a visit family weekend. And this morning I planted a garden in my front yard. I am Italian, that should be all you need to know about a front-yard garden.
So, garden planted, family visited, art festival visited. I'm tired.
So I bought three new pairs of shoes. And decided to keep them all! Eek! Yeah it's like $160 worth of shoes.
I got skyscraper white platform strappy sandals, with a wood wedge, spring green wedge espadrilles in leather with a flower on the wedge, silver strappy mini wedges. Yum. But I also put my gold strappy heels in my main shoe box, so I'd wear them more. It's summer. I love shoes. It was just Mother's Day. I'm justifying it all the way. I paid off my credit card today.
Keep me honest, I must not buy any more stuff right now. We need to save for another semester of prepaid tuition for the baby.
That means no shopping (except rummage sales would be OK.)
Sigh. What IS it? Oh well, I work hard for my money. Shop thrifty. Love shoes. 'Nuff said.

Melissa + Jan
Probably one of my favorite sessions so far. After some location-scouting beforehand we decided to make this couple session happen on a mountain called Erlakogel near Traunsee. We were not able to drive to the top by car so we had to climb/wander all the way up until we reached this beautiful spot. Melissa and Jan handled the walk like champs.
We indulged in the sun's last rays and soaked in the most beautiful sunset until the sun kissed us good bye – which had us walk back to the car in the dark for 1.5 hours. And it was SO worth it!
I'll let the photos speak from here.

When setting up products in your E-Commerce, you have the option to separate your products by category. Depending on what you're selling, one product may fit into many different categories. For example, if you're selling jewelry, you'll naturally categorize the jewelry into earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, but you may also categorize by color, by occasion, by style, etc.
In order to add tags to your products, first click on the E-Commerce icon and hover over sell online and select products.
Click on the name of the product you'd like to add tags to, then type in your first tag in the text area and click on the add button.
After you've added the tags, click on save changes.
When your products are all appropriately tagged, you can use those tags to make separate product pages on your Builder. In the example below, this is a jewelry store setting up a "Shop By Color" section.
First, click on the Builder icon and the web pages tab. From there, add a products page from the new page menu. On the products page, under choose what to display on this page, select the radio button for Display all products tagged with: and type in the tag you'd like to use and click on add tag.
Click on the save changes button at the bottom of the products section.
You can repeat this process for all the colors and use a Shop By Color drop down menu to organize this section. Below is an example of what that could look like:

Work: I stayed with my company and transferred to the London office from New York. I have hit the ground running HARD and have basically dived right into a bunch of big, exciting projects. That said, the London office is quite different from New York. For example:
|Office terrace!
Adjusting to lunch on a terrace is the least of my worries though; there are other things that are taking getting used to: an open plan (I had an office in NYC), the British understatement (oh this just needs a few edits...open document to find a million edits ;), using "diary" instead of "calendar", using a British keyboard (there are differences!), and a much smaller team - just me and my boss, vs. 20 people on my team in the NYC office! I am absolutely loving everything though, and can't complain at all!
Living: I found a flat in Bethnal Green, about a 30 minute walk to work. I have a super nice flatmate, and the place has felt like home since the moment I stepped foot in it. The neighbors are nice and friendly, I get amazing sunlight in my room, and there's a balcony where I can read books and eat banana bread from Broadway Market.
|Cute little balcony
Best of all?
And I do. Every day, both ways, which is amazing and exactly what I wanted when I was looking for a place to live. I listen to the NPR One app and am better informed on all world news now than I have been in a while, I get my 10,000 Fitbit steps in with ease, and I save money by not riding the tube every day. Win-win-win!
Fitness: Like I said, I walk to and from work every day, which is about 3.8 miles a day. On weekends I walk at least 20,000 steps a day (about 10 miles). Victoria Park and the canals are my backyard. Though I have not (yet?) joined a gym, I get a good workout every day without trying very hard. That said, I am still getting into a workout groove and figuring out what works for me. I've gotten up in the mornings to run, I've run after work, I've done at-home bodyweight exercises, AND I've gone to my beloved Barry's Bootcamp (and bought a nice class package!).
|This is what I see out my window. Those trees? Victoria Park!
Another thing that made it hard for me to get back into working out was knowing that I had lost a lot of fitness in the previous two months, thanks to quitting the gym and ClassPass, packing up my life, pre-move travel to DC and Kansas City, moving to my boyfriend's place for two weeks, and general moving stresses. Frankly, I did not want to know what my pace was because I knew it would be slower than what I had been seeing in the spring when I was training. I knew I'd lost strength and speed, and I didn't want to face it. Surely you've been there before, too, right?
With no fall race to train for (I signed up for the Philly half before I knew I'd be in London!), I am still struggling with figuring out my workout routine and not falling into the ever-present comparison trap that can be difficult to escape in social media. I've always been pretty good about not falling into this trap, but that doesn't mean I never catch myself comparing my runs to others'. I just need to remind myself that we're all different, training for different things (me? I'm training for LIFE), and have different abilities. And my abilities WILL come back, but they need practice! This is the new normal for now, but as I practice and improve, my new normal will improve, too.
Slowly but surely though, after a few gadget-free runs to remind me what this running thing feels like, I'm more comfortable than I was. Still, it is VERY hard to look down and see a slower pace than the one I ran a MARATHON at in April. It is all about perspective though...if I think about where I was two years ago, or five years ago, I have grown and sped up SO much. It's a good reminder when I'm feeling slow.
|Can't complain about views like this
I'm still trying to make new friends though, so if you're in London and want to run or try to a fitness class or anything, give me a shout! And if you have any London recommendations, I am all ears. I'm trying to soak up as much as I can!
What is your favorite piece of advice to get back into a workout routine?
Favorite running route?
London must-dos?

text: MOVIES 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Pushed Back to August 2014, Avoids Family Glut 11:31 AM PDT 8/15/2013 by Pamela McClintock FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Michael Bay Paramount's CGI/live-action hybrid originally was scheduled to open in early June, sandwiched between "The Good Dinosaur" and "How to Train Your Dragon 2." Steering clear of other family films, Paramount and Nickelodeon Films' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will now hit theaters on Aug. 8, 2014, two months later than originally planned. Paramount has good reason for moving the CGI/live-action hybrid, which Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes is producing. This summer, the box office saw a glut of family movies, resulting in diminished returns for a number of films. VIDEO: Alan Ritchson on the Action Sequences in 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Had it stuck to its original June 6, 2014 release date, Ninja Turtles would have opened only a week after Disney and Pixar's The Good Dinosaur (May 30) and two weeks before Fox and DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon 2 (June 20). While Ninja Turtles has far more action than traditional animated movies and could even receive a PG-13 rating, it's still making an aggressive family play. Ninja Turtles also gets out of the way of Paramount and Michael Bay's Transformers 4, which opens on June 27 (the previous Transformers films all have opened on a Wednesday, so it's likely that Paramount will move up the release of the fourth installment by two days to June 25). With Ninja Turtles, directed by Jonathan Liebesman, Paramount continues its bid to plant its own flag in the family arena now that it is no longer distributing titles from DreamWorks Animation.

In cases where the community votes incorrectly, it seems in my best interests to simply go with the flow and vote for 'the winning team' rather than vote correctly and take a reputation hit. I get the feeling that this 'gaming' the voting system is happening-- maybe not always maliciously, but to save time and boost rep.
So my question using a real example: the Niche Homeopathic Treatment looks set to be accepted by the community at 12 (for)- 2 (against). Even if the remaining 8 votes go against it, it will still pass. However, the Niche Homeopathy is already approved and awaiting purchase. Obviously these 2 are redundant and the former should be rejected, but it would be in my personal best interest to vote for it and receive positive rep. The only reason for me to not game the system and vote against it (besides it being a jerk move and not in the best interest of the community) would be if the reputations are reversed upon Tribunal removal of Homeopathic Treatment, in which case my negative vote would result in positive reputation.

and speed the implementation of PV technologies, while improving
manufacturing processes.
Hudgins joins PVMC from IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, where he
was principal solar specialist. In this role, Hudgins was responsible
for strategy and business development and supported investments with
advisory, due diligence and portfolio review in more than 10 countries.
Prior to joining IFC, Hudgins served as president of JHGH Inc., a

What do you want most out of life?
The answer to that question varies depending on the person, but typical answers revolve around health and happiness. Is true happiness so elusive that we continually yearn for it year after year? And what makes a person happy? Is it money? Travel? Or is it something else? Do the things that make you happy also make me happy?
Well, we may now know the answer. A study completed at Harvard University has been digging into the question "What makes us happy?" for 75 years (and still continues today). The answer may surprise you.
Keep reading or watch the video above to learn more.
About The Study
The Harvard Study of Adult Development has tracked the lives of 724 men for more than 75 years. The study has looked into their lives – their work, their home life, and their quality of life.
The study was divided into two groups of men. One group started when the men were sophomores at Harvard. Many of these participants graduated and went to serve in World War II. The second group were young boys from some of the poorest neighborhoods of Boston. Every two years, these men are interviewed. 60 of the original 724 participants are still alive today.
So, What Was The Outcome?
The study has picked up on a few conclusions, but one conclusion has come out crystal clear among both groups and across all 724 men. Good relationships keep us happy and healthy. So there you go – now we know the answer. But the study digs a little deeper. There are three big lessons that the study brings to light.
1. Loneliness Kills
The men in the study who were well connected with family and friends in social relationships were happier, healthier, and lived longer lives. Every time. Those men who experienced less-than-adequate relationships throughout their lives, or expressed regret about relationships, were not satisfied with their lives, and they experienced a decline in health much earlier in life.
2. Quality Over Quantity
You may be reading this article and thinking "I need to go get more friends," but don't rush off just yet. The study has also shown that it doesn't matter how many friends or connections you have in your life. You can still be lonely and suffer the deathly consequences with hundreds of friends. What makes the difference is the quality of the relationships in your life. The men in the study who had quality relationships with their spouse and friends were the ones that lived longer, happier lives. Being a part of a bad relationship is worse than not having the relationship at all. Staying in that relationship long-term can be toxic.
3. Brain Power
Good relationships are good for your body and physical health, but as it turns out, they are also essential for your brain. The study followed many men into late-life and found that those men who were in deeply connected relationships (where they could count on another person) kept their memory and brain function much longer than those that didn't. The men who did not have these types of relationships began to experience memory loss earlier. Perhaps the lonely men subconsciously wanted to forget their lonely lives.
What Does This Mean To You And Me?
You probably already knew that relationships were good for you on some level. The results of this study aren't too surprising. But still, even today, when young people are asked what they want most out of life and what they believe will make them happy, the typical answer isn't good relationships. And it should be.
This same Harvard study has begun a new round of participants – millennials. They began with the same questions they asked 75 years ago. The answers they received were strikingly similar. The average younger person still has a skewed perception of happiness. Perhaps they are not aware of this Harvard study. Wealth, fame, and all other materialistic items will not keep you alive longer. They will not make you truly happy. They will not keep you from early-onset memory loss. But a good relationship or two will.
How To Have Meaningful Relationships
1. Act On Your Desire To Connect
If you find yourself thinking about spending time with someone or missing someone, act on it. So many times we hear a song that reminds us of our mother or run across an old photo of a close friend, and we don't do a thing about it. Why not pick up the phone or go for a visit? If you feel a desire to connect with someone, act on it. Perhaps your subconscious brain is sending you a signal that you need to improve that relationship.
2. Spend Quality Time Together
In today's world, we are able to stay in touch virtually like we've never been able to before. But there is a big difference between sending a Facebook message and enjoying a cup of coffee at a local café. Don't settle for virtual relationships. If you want to reap the benefits of being happy, spend real time together. Nurture your relationships with quality time, empathic listening, and genuine concern for each other.
3. Make An Effort
Relationships don't happen on autopilot. They take work, and that work never ends. You must make an effort to deepen relationships. Make time for the people that matter most to you. Make them a priority in your life, no matter how busy you get.
While no one can guarantee you'll live to be a hundred years old if you have quality relationships, the results of this unique Harvard study show that it is pretty much impossible to live a long, happy life without them. Take a good look around your life. What are the things that make you happiest. Is it the money you have? The car you drive? Or is it the people that you love? And if you love those people, isn't it worth your effort to make those relationships great? Not only will you be happier long-term, but you'll probably also live longer!

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic, relaxing weekend and are looking forward to the week ahead. I have so very much left to do in order to be ready for Chapter.con, but I have it worked into my schedule for next week. Yay! But that's not what this post is about. Today, I'd like to give you a quick list of ten things you can do that will help you become a happier, more productive individual. Ready? Grab your coffee, and let's get going!
1. Take Care of Yourself
This might be the single most important thing you can do. If you're not functioning at 100%, you're doing yourself a disservice. Need a mental health day? Take it. Trying to find a way to not go crazy every day? Find an outlet. Do something for you each and every day.
2. Stop Stressing About What Other People Think
If there's someone you don't want to interact with, stop. No one should own you or your mental space. Don't let those people eat your time. You have more important things to do.
3. Schedule Yourself
New to the blog? You can find my tips on scheduling here. An old hat? Y'all know exactly what I'm talking about.
4. Let Things Go
Don't let others' actions nag at you, and don't beat yourself up over mistakes you've made. Apologize and move on. If that means moving past that person, go back and read number two. Let it go. Sometimes, "it" is a person.
5. Write (or be Creative) at the Same Time Every Day
This way, your muse knows when to show up. If you're asking her to pop her head in on odd days, chances are, you'll end up staring at a blank screen (or canvas) pretty often, not knowing where to go next. And if it's not working, go do something else for a minute then come back, but don't give up.
Got anything to add?
Well, that's all for today, folks! Until next time, WRITE ON!
A blog dedicated to the education and support of Indie authors.
Also striving to providing great book recommendations and reviews for readers.

Mindful Stress Recovery Programe
Whether you are wanting to relieve work related stress, or prevent it, or prolonged overwelming stress response symptoms, we believe that to truly assist you in alleviating negative symptoms, it requires an integrative approach … of peeling away the layers to access the core issues. We commence our Programe by completing a thorough assessment. Firstly identifying the appropriate interventions required, then developing a plan that suits your unique situation.
According to Mehta… "the best way to treat stress over the long term is to identify the root causes of it, and see if your lifestyle can be changed to reduce it, …you cannot biopsy stress…stress exists in the realm of the mind, therefore the tools that we must use in order to confront excessive stress need to also be mindfulness-based modalities"
Compassionate Fatigue is an occupational hazard it is characterised as being the gradual profound emotional and physical exhaustion that takes place in workers over time, a gradual erosion of empathy, hope and compassion. Vicarious Trauma is being constantly exposed to others trauma /distress and is the transformation that takes place, that changes your fundamental belief system, eventually their stories become a part of you. Burn Out is the physical and emotional exhaustion that workers can experience when they have low job satisfaction, powerless, and overwhelmed but it does not necessarily mean that our view of how we see the world has changed however It can be fairly easily resolved by changing jobs, this is not the case for CF or VT.
We provide one on one coaching within the Programe process or group coaching

For the last decade numerous studies have shown that mindfulness training can improve a variety of mental and physical health problems.
Studies have suggested that mindfulness reverses these patterns during stress; it increases prefrontal activity, which can regulate and turn down the biological stress response.
Excessive activation of the biological stress response increases the risk of diseases impacted by stress. By reducing individuals' experiences of stress, mindfulness may help regulate the physical stress response and ultimately reduce the risk and severity of stress-related diseases.
Our programmes provide both a therapeutic and coaching approach to health and wellbeing. They are both enabling and empowering. They equip YOU with tools and strategies to enhance your resiliance and regain control and balance in your life moving forward.

How Stress Causes Disease
The classic definition of stress is "any real or imagined threat, and your body's response to it."
Celebrations and tragedies alike can cause a stress response in your body. All of your feelings, positive or negative, create physiological changes. Your skin, heart rate, digestion, joints, muscle energy levels, the hair on your head, and countless cells and systems you don't even know about change with every emotion.
When you're stressed, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol, which prepare your body to fight or flee the stressful event. Your heart rate increases, your lungs take in more oxygen, your blood flow increases and parts of your immune system become temporarily suppressed, which reduces your inflammatory response to pathogens and other foreign invaders.
When stress becomes chronic, however, your immune system becomes less sensitive to cortisol, and since inflammation is partly regulated by this hormone, this decreased sensitivity heightens the inflammatory response and allows inflammation to get out of control.

EFT stimulates different energy meridian points in your body by tapping them with your fingertips, while simultaneously using verbal affirmations. This can be done alone or under the supervision of a qualified therapist. By doing so, you help your body eliminate emotional "scarring" and reprogram the way your body responds to emotional stressors.
Taking it one step further….
When we inhale air, particularly air that is infused with essential oils, it goes to the roof of our nose. Olfactory receptors in the nose then transport the information to the limbic system. The limbic system is where our emotions are processed. One reason it is believed that aromatherapy can be helpful, especially when treating stress, is that it stimulates the release of certain chemicals in the brain that can help people relax. This is why aromatherapy can help to relieve stress.
When you combine these benefits of massage with aromatherapy massage oil, the health benefits of physical touch are boosted by these oils. As the therapist works on massaging your muscles and releasing your tension, you'll become aware.

Supplements and Herbs
Key nutrients are depleted in times of stress. They are one f the important components of managing stress. A supplement plan can be developed with our consulting Health Professional.
Stress can cause a deficiency in many of the vitamins, minerals and essential compounds that our bodies need to function efficiently, especially in cases where the has been prolonged stress over many years. Your blood tests might show that you are within range for many of these nutrients, but fatigue, physical symptoms and low energy levels often suggest otherwise.
Additionally, there are a number of herbs, probiotics, supplements, Therapeutic Essential Oils, NZ First Light Plant tinctures and infused oils, can all play a valuable role in the treatment of stress. Using the right combination of these, together with the appropriate adjustments in your diet and lifestyle, will go a long way towards reversing your condition.
Nourishment is Key to your recovery and preventative measures

My hair was exceptionally obedient the day I took these photos. Shuma-shampoo commercial! #justsaying
Anyway, on to my outfit. I wore this silky satin dress from The Closet Goddess. It's really simple with just some gathering along the waist. What's nice about dresses like this is that they're really easy to dress up or down. I opted to dress it up a bit by incorporating a few metal accessories which took it from simple to modern and sophisticated–something a strong-willed and independent woman would wear.
The Closet Goddess dress
I'm really loving anything with metal these past few months, which is weird since metal isn't exactly summery. In my opinion, jewel tones + metal accents is one of the easiest and most complimentary combinations ever. They bring out the best in each other!

'Corkcicle' - an abomination to fine wine companies?
Any self-respecting fine wine company is likely to react with knee-jerk horror at the sound of Corkcicle, a Floridian invention designed to keep white wine chilled and red wine cool.
Even in the Sunshine State itself, serving fine wine with ice probably causes independent wine merchants a moment of discomfort.
Corkcicle takes this a step further, combining a bottle stopper with a long icicle that plunges into the wine to keep it cool.
This spear of plastic is lined with thermal gel and, fresh from the freezer, can take the heat out of a bottle of red in a few minutes, or keep an already-chilled white cool for almost an hour.
But is it a fine wine company's worst nightmare? Actually, no - and with the manufacturers making it available to commercial customers such as restaurants, you're increasingly likely to be served a bottle with a Corkcicle in the top.
Although good-quality independent wine merchants might flinch at the thought, the Corkcicle is not made of water ice, but simply plastic that has been cooled in a freezer.
It therefore achieves the same purpose as an ice bucket, but with less mess and fuss, and takes up less space on the table.
We're not convinced we'll be seeing bottles served with a Corkcicle in the UK in the near future, but it's one to watch out for if you order fine wine the next time you eat out at your favourite restaurant.

I have gone through many years of completely despising this time of year. Before becoming ill, I have disliked Christmas as it holds bad memories and therefore I would only allow myself to think of those things. And secondly, as you can imagine, that when you have an eating disorder, Christmas is a difficult time as one of the main elements is food. Of course, it's more about being with loved ones, celebrating with family and friends and yes, this is what I love most! But there is no denying that usually people look forward to the big tins of chocolates, mince pies and Christmas pudding, Christmas dinner.. I mean, I definitely love it all!
This year I don't want to miss out. I want to be able to say yes when offered the tin of chocolates, yes to the festive glass of mulled wine and yes to a huge roast dinner.
I am extremely busy at the moment. Good busy though - winter assignment deadlines are looming, my part time work is busy with it being Christmas and I'm travelling around with my volunteering work. Add in house issues, a social life and functioning as a human being, and you don't have much time left. I know myself well enough to know that I can use this extremely busy schedule as a way of avoiding certain social situations with food challenges. However, I believe acknowledging this is a good thing and it means I can actively choose not to make excuses.
Like I previously said, I can choose what I allow myself to think. Last year I managed to turn Christmas around and allow it to become one of my favourite times of year. I believe that if we want something to happen, then we can most certainly make it happen. If I want to do something badly enough, then I know I can and will. After all, Christmas only comes once a year, so really we don't have time to let it pass us by.
I came across an intriguing question this week - How many Christmas' will you sacrifice for Anorexia? Well, I hope I already know the answer to this and I don't add another one to that number.

According to a new study by researchers Reine van der Wal and Lotte van Dillen, people tend to eat more and taste less when they are distracted. In the study, college students were asked to either memorize a long string of digits or a single digit. They were then told to taste drinks of varying acidities while writing down the information that they had to memorize. When the students had to rate the sourness of their drinks, those who only had to memorize one digit rated their drinks as more sour than the students who had to memorize long strings of digits. They were less distracted, so they could focus more on how the drinks tasted.
In another experiment, students were still required to memorize numbers, but they were allowed to sweeten their drinks with grenadine syrup. Students who had more information to memorize and were therefore more distracted ended up making sweeter drinks. They also drank more of their drinks than their less distracted peers.
These findings were not isolated incidents. They are evidence of a phenomenon that some have named "zombie eating," or the tendency to not pay attention to how much we're eating or even what we're eating when we're distracted by something else. Zombie eaters tend to almost unconsciously eat while they're doing other things such as watching TV, doing homework or doing anything that takes their attention away from their food. They also taste less of their food, prompting them to want more flavor.
As innocent as it may sound to some people, zombie eating can become a problem. When people are distracted by TV, newspapers, and their homework or even by conversations with friends and family, they ignore the psychological cues that tell them they're full. They may even ignore the tangible evidence that tells them that they've had too much to eat such as candy wrappers and empty soda cans piling up on the floor. This is why people tend to overeat when they watch TV or do anything else when they eat.
The key to avoid zombie eating is engaging in what researchers call "mindful eating." This is when people focus entirely on eating in a deliberate or even meditative manner. Mindful eating involves savoring the flavors of what we eat and paying attention when we start to feel full. Parents and teachers can help children do this by reserving snack times for eating snacks and doing nothing else and insisting that meals are eaten at the kitchen table instead of in front of the television.
The only problem with mindful eating is that many people start to get bored. It turns out that people enjoy zombie eating. They like watching TV, having conversations, reading books or doing anything else to keep them "busy" while they eat. For many people, it's what makes mealtimes fun.
So, if stopping zombie eating takes most of the enjoyment out of eating, what can we do instead to curb bad eating habits? Experts say that we don't have to stop eating while doing other things all the time, but we should still take steps to keep us from eating too much. Taking smaller bites and sips keeps us from underestimating how much we've had to eat, but for many the solution lies in simply serving a small fixed portion before we sit down and mindlessly feed ourselves in front of the TV[i].
At a recent healthy-eating cooking class attended by this writer, the cuisine presented was vegetarian Indian cooking. The topic of discussion was mindful-food preparing and mindful eating. Learning about the source of the food (local? factory? organic? humane?) honoring it and added love as a key ingredient of the preparation, were discussed in our lively conversation. One of the attendees described how she helped train herself to slow down, enjoy more and actually loose weight by holding smaller amounts of food in her mouth, noticing the flavors and saying "mmmmmm" as she savored and swallowed EACH bite. This technique was perfectly suited to enjoying the complex flavors of our Indian cuisine but what about the turkey sandwich you are having for lunch? Try slowing down and taste each bite. Appreciate where it comes from. If it doesn't taste good, perhaps you shouldn't be eating it.
Let us know if you want to hear more on this topic!
