Over 13% of the American population take antidepressants every day—and the number jumps to 25% among women between the ages of 50 and 64.
These figures are enough to convince most experts that mental health is a huge issue. Millions of people are struggling to overcome to debilitating effects of depression and anxiety.
And here's the worst part: in many cases, antidepressants don't even work, and their use is accompanied by dangerous side effects.
Big Pharma has simply convinced us that they work by only publishing studies that display positive results. But even looking at the numbers gathered from their "positive" results will convince you that antidepressants are a giant, money-making charade.
A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine pulled the curtain on the shenanigans of pharmaceutical companies. It revealed that even Big Pharma's own studies show that 80% of patients recover from depression with a placebo, and that the recovery percentage is almost never higher with an actual drug.[1]
And placebos don't have side effects like weight gain, diabetes, nausea, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, vision problems, and sexual dysfunction—all of which have been linked with antidepressant usage.
But here's my favorite "potential side effect" of antidepressants, as suggested by a recent study: depression.[2]
That's right—an increasing number of researchers are beginning to believe that antidepressants only make things worse in the long run. Antidepressant users are far more prone to relapse than those who overcome depression without pharmaceutical drugs.[3]
Finding happiness naturally
Luckily, there's all sorts of alternatives to antidepressants—all of which are simple, sustainable, and side-effect free. Try them out, and you'll be surprised by their consistent effectiveness…
Talking therapies. Sitting down and hashing out what's ailing you with a therapist can work wonders. In fact, one study showed that therapy is just as effective as antidepressants.[4] Therapy also provides the added benefits of genuine human interaction and self-exploration—experiences that no pill can provide.
Meditation is invaluable for cultivating emotional and mental health, and can be a massively effective tool for overcoming depression and anxiety. Especially when practiced regularly, it can lower stress levels, lower blood pressure, and promote an enduring state of peaceful well-being. It's even been show to alter brain structure in beneficial ways, and to reverse the brain damage caused by depression.
Exercise. Getting your heart pumping is excellent for your overall morale and well-being, and there's evidence that its mood-lifting qualities have a physiological basis. Experts have found that 30 minutes of strenuous exercise, 5 times a week, increases levels of BDNF, a brain chemical with natural antidepressant properties.[5]
Anti-inflammatory foods. In many cases, systemic inflammation caused by pro-inflammatory foods (as well as food allergies) is to blame for depression. Foods like wild salmon, organic berries, turmeric, ginger, dark, leafy greens, raw cacao, pomegranate, and probiotics like kombucha are all powerful inflammation fighters.
Vitamins and minerals. Deficiencies in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, B vitamins, iodine, and sulfur have also been linked to depression. Make sure you're getting enough of them every day.
Brain supplements. If you feel like you need to support your lifestyle practices with actual supplements, try 5-HTP (which allows your brain to make more of its own serotonin), GABA and phenibut (GABA agonists that can relieve anxiety and elevate mood), SAM-e, and L-theanine (a phytonutrient found in green tea).
You're in control
You probably noticed that intangible, lifestyle-related alternatives were mentioned first, and that physical supplements are only discussed at the end of list.
This is because, when battling depression, it's important to believe that you have the power to heal yourself without drugs. Therefore, it's good to prove to yourself that you can experience improvement without eating a pill—even if that pill is a natural supplement that is far less dangerous than pharmaceutical antidepressants.
If the vitamins and supplements help you, great. Just keep your focus on the core belief that healing comes from within, and that all of your practices, eating habits, vitamins, and supplements are an extension of your own desire to live happily and healthily.
These alternatives—combined with a strong belief in your innate self-healing ability—will lead you to lasting relief from depression.

The Perfect Taste of Fall
Monday October 26 2009
It's a national pastime, isn't it? Going out for a drive to see the fall colors.
Here in Owyhee, to get your taste of fall, saddle up your beloved horse
on the perfect October autumn day, and take a ride.
Up on the flats toward the mountains;
down into Pickett Creek canyon
where the cottonwoods are golden
and the quail bush shouts in red, crimson, scarlet, maroon, sangria, burnt orange, rust.
Your horse cruises along, stops to pick at new green grass from last month's rainstorm; cool autumn breezes hinting of winter finger through your hair and tickle your nose.
Nature sightseeing on a perfect cool fall day in a beautiful country on a most beautiful horse
(and, first post-busted-rib ride) - the perfect taste of fall.

Leadership is about vision. Without vision there is no passion and without passion there is no drive toward success. In Jim Collins' book Good to Great, he details why some companies plateau at being good and why other companies flourish with continuous greatness. After reading this book and reflecting on the real life examples, it comes down to the importance of being either a hedgehog or a fox.
Foxes can live in a variety of environments and can adapt to almost all climates. They either live in small groups or alone and their sole purpose is to hunt. They are quick on their feet and are aggressive when it comes to catching their prey. Although a fox maybe scattered and quick moving, it thrives off being strategic and sneaky in order to get what it wants.
A hedgehog is a small and detailed-focused mammal. With their thick coats and intricate spines, hedgehogs have a sturdy defense against any predator. In a moment of alarm or intimidation they can easily curl up into a spiny ball. The hedgehog only focuses on one thing, simplistic ideas.
Isaiah Berlin, a Latvian-British social and political theorist, separates people into two groups, hedgehogs and foxes. Foxes pursue many ends all at the same time and sees the world in all its complexity. Hedgehogs, on the other hand, simplify a complex world into a single organizing idea, if it does not relate somehow to the hedgehog idea it holds no relevance.
The Hedgehog Concept is step one in the process of becoming a good-to-great company. What is the Hedgehog Concept?
Collins outlines this concept in three intertwining circles. (see image)
- What you can be the best in the world at, but also what you cannot be the best in the world at?
- What drives your economic engine?
- What are you deeply passionate about?
These three simple questions are how companies go from good-to-great. Easy, right? Well, to have a fully developed Hedgehog Concept you need all three circles, all the time. If you're driven to make money at something you're not the best at, you'll have a successful company but not extraordinary. If you're passionate about what you're doing but it doesn't make economic sense, then you might have a lot of fun, but you won't produce prosperous results.
Good-to-great companies instill The Hedgehog Concept so well that when coming across new business venture they look at it this way,
"Anything that does not fit with our Hedgehog Concept, we will not do."
Collins articulates that anyone, companies included, need to start a "stop doing" list. To meet deadlines, to execute objectives and achieve goals, we all seem to have a process in place. We may ask ourselves; "What do I need to check off the list to get to where I need to be? What are my daily, weekly, or monthly objectives? How do I get from point A to point B?"
Majority of us lead busy lives with endless "to do" lists. Focusing on doing, doing, doing. It seems we are always adding more to this list. But how often do we take the time to step back and get rid of the unnecessary chaos? Well, good-to-great companies are able to discipline themselves in a way that they can recognize the junk, shift gears, and successfully reach their goals by not wasting time on the wrong objectives.
To develop a "stop doing" list, think of it in terms of budgeting. Collins highlights the list like this, "In a good-to-great transformation, budgeting is a discipline to decide which arenas should be fully funded and which should not be funded at all. In other words, the budget process is not about figuring out how much each activity gets, but about determining which activities best support the Hedgehog Concept and should be fully strengthened and which should be eliminated entirely."

Double Double Toil And Trouble
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
-- William Shakespeare, Song of the Witches: "Double, double toil and trouble", Macbeth: IV.i 10-19; 35-38, The Random House Book of Poetry for Children (1983)

The Amazon holds literally countless natural wonders for travelers to discover. To date, there are at least 40,000 plant species, 427 mammals, 1,300 birds, 378 reptiles, 400 amphibians, and 3,000 fish teeming regions river and ocean waters. And counting! It's impossible to separate the adventure from the Amazon when planning a trip to this mist-covered rainforest. But there's another component to this region that cannot be overlooked – the food.
Beyond the actual beauty of the Amazon, the beauty of the Amazon is that it's surrounded by countries and cultures with rich heritages of culinary prowess, served with spice and a side of "I've never even heard of that, but it's delicious!"
As you sail through this remarkable region on Crystal Serenity's "Amazon Escape" voyage this October, you'll be wrapped in aromas and flavors throughout the French West Indies, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, and Puerto Rico. Since great cuisine is at the heart of most great travel experiences, we encourage you to take your palate on an adventure, and don't miss some of the national specialties of the region.
Feijoada may be the most Brazilian dish, which is fitting for the country's national entrée. The fact that Feijoada originated in Northern Portugal may make it an unexpected choice for Brazil's national dish, but
it's one of the few specialties that is universally eaten throughout all areas of the country. It consists of a bean stew made with white or red beans and meat (usually pork or beef, but also chorizo or sausage), is usually served with rice, cabbage and farofa.
Trinidad and Tobago is where you go for flavor. Period. Often, those flavors are unexpected combinations of curry and other spices with fruit, vegetables and abundant varieties of dough. You really can't go wrong. For a truly authentic Trini invention, try doubles. These sandwich-like creations envelop tender curried channa (chickpeas), tamarind or mango and a dash of pepper for kick in a fluffy light bara bread.
Arroz con Gandules y Lechón
While Puerto Rican cuisine shares some similarities with Spanish and other Latin fare, it bears its own distinctive flavors that you simply cannot miss. One of several national dishes of the region is arroz con gandules – yellow rice and pigeon peas (gandules), roasted with pork and seasoned to perfection.
*BONUS: Round out your culinary discoveries with a piña colada, invented in Puerto Rico in 1954 and established as the national beverage of the country in 1978.
The menu of adventures Crystal Serenity's "Amazon Escape" extends to virtually every traveler's style and interests. Book your South American and Caribbean voyage now!

Have you ever wondered what the outlook might be for your STEM career five or even ten years out? Or maybe you are a current student weighing your options for a chosen career path and need to know the type of degree that is required.
Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education labor trends and workforce studies experts have culled through the BLS data and have summarized the outlook for several select STEM careers.
With the right information in-hand — and a prestigious research experience to complement your education — you can increase the confidence you have when selecting a STEM career.
Software Developers
There are over 1,469,000 software developers in the U.S. workforce either employed as systems software developers or employed as applications software developers. Together, employment for software developers is projected to grow 22 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations.
Software developers will be needed to respond to an increased demand for computer software because of an increase in the number of products that use software. The need for new applications on smart phones and tablets will also increase the demand for software developers. Software developers are the creative minds behind computer programs. Some develop the applications that allow people to do specific tasks on a computer or another device. Others develop the underlying systems that run the devices or that control networks. Most jobs in this field require a degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field and strong computer programming skills.
Software developers are in charge of the entire development process for a software program from identifying the core functionality that users need from software programs to determining requirements that are unrelated to the functions of the software, such as the level of security and performance. Software developers design each piece of an application or system and plan how the pieces will work together. This often requires collaboration with other computer specialists to create optimum software.
Atmospheric Scientists
Atmospheric sciences include fields such as climatology, climate science, cloud physics, aeronomy, dynamic meteorology, atmosphere chemistry, atmosphere physics, broadcast meteorology and weather forecasting.
Most jobs in the atmospheric sciences require at least a bachelor's degree in atmospheric science or a related field that studies the interaction of the atmosphere with other scientific realms such as physics, chemistry or geology. Additionally, courses in remote sensing by radar and satellite are useful when pursuing this career path.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), computer models have greatly improved the accuracy of forecasts and resulted in highly customized forecasts for specific purposes. The need for atmospheric scientists working in private industry is predicted to increase as businesses demand more specialized weather information for time-sensitive delivery logistics and ascertaining the impact of severe weather patterns on industrial operations. The demand for atmospheric scientists working for the federal government will be subject to future federal budget constraints. The BLS projects employment of atmospheric scientists to grow by 8 percent over the 2018 to 2028 period. The largest employers of atmospheric scientists and meteorologists are the federal government, research and development organizations in the physical, engineering, and life sciences, state colleges and universities and television broadcasting services.
Electrical and Electronics Engineers
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there are approximately 324,600 electrical and electronics engineers in the U.S. workforce. Workers in this large engineering occupation can be grouped into two large components — electrical engineers and electronics engineers. About 188,300 electrical engineers design, develop, test or supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment, such as power generation equipment, electrical motors, radar and navigation systems, communications, systems and the electrical systems of aircraft and automobiles. They also design new ways to use electricity to develop or improve products. Approximately 136,300 electronics engineers design and develop electronic equipment such as broadcast and communications equipment, portable music players, and Global Positioning System devices, as well as working in areas closely related to computer hardware. Engineers whose work is devoted exclusively to computer hardware are considered computer hardware engineers. Electrical and electronics engineers must have a bachelor's degree, and internships and co-op experiences are a plus.
The number of jobs for electrical engineers is projected by BLS to grow slightly faster (9 percent) than the average for all engineering occupations in general (8 percent) and faster than for electronics engineers (4 percent) as well. However, since electrical and electronics engineering is a larger STEM occupation, growth in employment is projected to result in over 21,000 new jobs over the 2016-2026 period. The largest employers of electrical engineers are engineering services firms; telecommunications firms; the federal government; electric power generation, transmission and distribution organizations such as public and private utilities; semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturers; organizations specializing in research and development (R&D) in the physical, engineering and life sciences; and navigational, measuring, electro-medical and control systems manufacturers.
BLS notes three major factors influencing the demand for electrical and electronic engineers. One, the need for technological innovation will increase the number of jobs in R&D, where their engineering expertise will be needed to design power distribution systems related to new technologies. They will also play important roles in developing solar arrays, semiconductors and communications technologies, such as 5G. Two, the need to upgrade the nation's power grids and transmission components will drive the demand for electrical engineers. Finally, a third driver of demand for electrical and electronic engineers is the design and development of ways to automate production processes, such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and Distributed Control Systems (DCS).
Data Science and Data Analysts
Technological advances have made it faster and easier for organizations to acquire data. Coupled with improvements in analytical software, companies are requiring data in more ways and higher quantities than ever before, and this creates many important questions for them, including "Who do we hire to work with this data"? The answer is likely a Data Scientist.
When trying to answer the question "what is data science," Investopedia defines it as providing "meaningful information based on large amounts of complex data or big data. Data science, or data-driven science, combines different fields of work in statistics and computation to interpret data for decision-making purposes." This includes data engineers, operations research analysts, statisticians, data analysts and mathematicians.
The BLS projects the employment of statisticians and mathematicians to grow 30 percent from 2018-2028, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. According to the source, organizations will increasingly need statisticians to organize and analyze data in order to help improve business processes, design and develop new products and advertise products to potential customers. In addition, the large increase in available data from global internet use has created new areas for analysis such as examining internet search information and tracking the use of social media and smartphones. In the medical and pharmaceutical industries, biostatisticians will be needed to conduct the research and clinical trials necessary for companies to obtain approval for their products from the Food and Drug Administration.
Along with that of statistician, the employment of operations research analysts is projected by the BLS to grow by 26 percent from 2018-2028, again much faster than the average for all occupations. As organizations across all economic sectors look for efficiency and cost savings, they seek out operations research analysts to help them analyze and evaluate their current business practices, supply chains and marketing strategies in order to improve their ability to make wise decisions moving forward. Operations research analysts are also frequently employed by the U.S. Armed Forces and other governmental groups for similar purposes.

It's been a strange couple of weeks for Top Chef fans. Last week's Thanksgiving Eve episode pitted the cheftestants' skills against culinary tastes both highbrow (Grant Achatz) and lowbrow (the Foo Fighters) in Rochester, which is a city in New York, but not New York City. In the end, Team Rainbow was demolished when Richard Sweeney, the bearded 27-year-old who was an open admirer of Tom Colicchio, got the boot for serving s'mores. And things got strange in last night's episode of the competitive cooking show when the cheftestants competed to see who could cook best on a non-cooking program. After a Quickfire in which almost no one followed the rules, most of the cheftestants continued to perform abysmally, but perhaps none more so than Alex Eusebio. With a crème brûlée that didn't set and a not-made-for-TV personality, he was given the old heave-ho. We spoke to both about being dismissed for failed desserts and about life after the show.
The sole member left from Team Rainbow is Jamie. What are her chances?
She's had a lot of really good dishes, and she started to get recognized for them in the second episode with "show us your craft," and they liked some of the stuff she made for the Foo Fighters. So I know she's just starting to get into a rhythm, and I think that's really going to start to show in her performance.
Your non-rainbow team was called the Cougars, after Ariane. Is she really a cougar?
She's not a cougar — she's a mom, married with kids. It was kind of the nickname we started to give her because she'd be up first thing in the morning running around in her little workout outfit.
Before you left, were you getting sick of Fabio and Stephan's sort of mutual lovefest?
It's really edited to show them spending a ton of time together. I thought they were more entertaining than anything else, especially when you throw Danny into the mix and you've got three different accents and three people trying to say the same thing but nobody knows what any of them are talking about.
It seems like the younger chefs are consistently being eliminated — Lauren was 24, Patrick was 21, Jill was 28, and you're 27.
I think it's just the experience factor coming in, and it's everybody's ages. I mean, I didn't get started cooking until about two years ago. Had I started this when I was 18, I could have been in a totally different situation.
Grant Achatz didn't respond to your soup well in the Quickfire. Besides lacking acidity, what was wrong with it?
Everybody cooks their food at the same time, and when they get around to tasting your food is when they get around to it. Mine was a bean soup that had rice in it. By the time they got around to my side, it had cooled down a lot, and the rice had really absorbed a lot of the liquid. So they were saying it was really thick — way too thick for soup.
You seemed surprised to go.
I had two dishes that they really didn't like, but I had one dish that they really enjoyed. I genuinely was surprised that Padma said my name. It was more of a look of shock. Like, 'Wait, what?' Everybody confused Danny and I for the first week that we were there. So I was like, 'Wait a minute, did you just mean to say Danny and said my name?'
Do you miss seeing, as you called him, "Tom Hottie Gay Bear Icon Colicchio" on a regular basis?
I'm never ever going to escape that. I do think Tom's really cute. And the other part of it is every time you're around somebody who really knows their stuff and is super competent in what they do and is super successful because they know their stuff so well, it's just nice to be around that person. But if I manage to get back on for season six, I'll keep the Tom talk to a minimum.
Were you surprised by your elimination?
Not really. I think it had the snowball effect — Richard left before, and I was bummed out a little about that, and right from there we went to another Quickfire and Elimination Challenge. Not only Richard, but Thanksgiving, I was bummed about that too — my team losing.
Were you distracted or did you want to leave?
I was about to get married, and I didn't prepare for the wedding — my poor wife had to do everything by herself. That was kind of freaking me out. My vows hadn't been written, suit hadn't been measured, none of that kind of stuff. I think a couple of people were trying to annoy me. So I thought, Before I blow up at somebody, it's time for me to go.
What were you annoyed by? The strong personalities?
I'm not really too used to all the camaraderie in the show. And the European people — that was kind of annoying. Okay, we get it, you're from Europe.
If you weren't distracted, would you have done better?
This particular challenge would have been tough for me anyway. It was a really specific challenge, and something that I was never good at, which was talking in public.
Does a top chef need TV skills?
No. No, no, no. The Thomas Kellers of the world don't really go on TV. The TV world is another different group of people.
What did you learn from the show?
I learned where I was. Being in L.A., it's kind of like an island. You don't know where you stand compared to other people. Now I know where I stand.
What are your plans now?
My wife, a singer, wants to go back on Broadway, so we might go to New York! It's a good time to go to New York for us right now. So either L.A. or New York, but you'll hear about me somewhere. A musical restaurant!

No Southern-fried Southern boy wants to be called a Yankee, but we share the characteristics of shrewdness and thrift. Thus, each month we include a money-saving tip. It's OK if you call me "cheap."
Sticking with the dust theme from Tip #1… The inside of your dust mask can become very wet, owing to the high moisture content of your breath. My tip? Install a hook in front of the outflow side of your ceiling-mounted air filter or air-circulating fan. Hang your mask in front of it with the inside facing the air flow and it will be nice and dry the next time you use it.
If the mask develops a sour smell, indicating mold and mildew are growing there, wipe it out with a Clorox Bleach Wipe or a paper towel wetted with vinegar, then allow it to air out thoroughly before reusing.

Lady´s slippers come in very different qualities. A healthy and strong rhizome with long roots is a precondition for good growth in the garden. Which points should you check when buying?
Lady's slipper orchids will continue to grow best in the garden which have, like ours, previously been cultivated outdoors. They are used to the changing conditions, a natural soil life and periods of bad weather. They will already produce more shoots and blooms in their second year. No chemical plant protection or heating energy is required in the production of "Frosch® Exclusive Perennials".
Greenhouse cultivated hardy lady's slipper orchids, available from other suppliers, are raised much faster and can look impressive at first glance. However, they are initially more sensitive in the garden and need to get used to the variable conditions. This can take more than one growing season. Furthermore, chemicals and considerably more energy are used in their production.
Roots should be white or cream-coloured without dark spots or rot. There should not be any cuts, the root tips must be undamaged and show a light-yellow colouring. Please note: not the length but the diameter of the shoot bud is decisive for the size of the shoot and its capability to flower. As you buy the plant during dormancy it has already been determined whether it will flower. Therefore good care can only influence the bloom in the following season (see growing cycle).

Arraba to Sanur
Meander between the olive trees of the region, view the lush agricultural valleys and climb the steep hill to reach the Castle of Sanur.
After exiting Arraba, the trail leads through Palestinian countryside passing next to the site of Tell Dothan or Bir al-Hafire, as it is called in Arabic (meaning a well of an archaeological site). A gaping stone well harks back to the story of Joseph. According to oral tradition, in those fields his brothers seized him and threw him into a deep cistern, later to be sold to a passing tribe of Egypt-bound, Midianite merchants.
Further on, a gravel path leads through a grove of ancient olive trees towards a steep hill covered with a colorful mosaic of various buildings. Most of the structures seem to be modern and simple, except from one – a compound situated on the peak of the hill – the Palace of Sanur.

'Attack on Titan' Season 3 to Premiere in U.S. Movie Theaters
Fans of the hit anime Attack on Titan are going to be eating well this July. Season 3 debuts in Japan on July 22. However, those who live in North America will have a chance to partake in some fun two weeks before this date. Funimation just recently picked up the distribution rights for season 3 and are wasting no time in utilizing them. From July 10-11, the first episode of season 3 will debut across 130 theaters in the U.S and Canada.
The event will be a back to back screening of the season 2 recap film, The Roar of Awakening, followed by the first episode of season 3. Fans will be able to feast on the previous delights that were season 2 before moving on to the next course.
Fans should take notice of the one big difference between buying a ticket for the two different days. On July 10 the content will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles. On July 11 the content will be presented in the English dub. Some can be very specific with their viewing of anime so these two dates should accommodate all. If one does want to go to one day over the other, then they should start planning because advance sales begin on June 8.
Funimation Films will soon have the list of all 130 participating theaters across North America up. Start planning your trip this week because one can bet that certain locations will sell out ahead of others. This should prove to be a fun and uniting experience for fans of the series that feel like they do not get a lot of time to unite together. Living in North America does have a few downfalls here and there. Are you going to this event? Let us know on social media and get hyped for the Attack on Titan's incoming season 3!

For this special Listener Series episode, I interview David from Texas who shares his debt story and how he got out of it by sticking to a cash-only diet.
Long description:
After listening to my Listener Series episode with Amanda from Ottawa, David from Texas answered my call out to be on my podcast, and I'm so glad he did. I feel like his story is so relatable, and yet I don't think I've ever interviewed anyone who paid off $40,000 in debt in only 14 months, then stuck to a cash-only diet for good after that.
I'm serious in that after listening to our conversation again, I kind of want to try to live off cash only for a month or two to see how many spending and savings are affected. I do try to use debit for all my day-to-day spending, but I do lean on my credit cards from time-to-time.
I hope you find this episode as inspiring as I did, but since David has so many good sound-bites, I've included a few gems below. Thanks again David for joining me on the podcast, and I mean it, you should start your own. Your voice and charm are gold!
David's Words of Wisdom
It is possible, if you believe it's possible...You have got to be focused and you have got to treat [paying down your debt] like it's a life and death situation.
David's Top Money Tips for People in Debt
Got a story that you think would be good to share on an episode on of Listener series? Please email me!

A former Navy officer has been charged in the death of 19-year-old art student Ashanti Billie.
On Wednesday, 45-year-old Eric Brian Brown was charged with federal kidnapping and murder in Billie's disappearance and subsequent death.
The body of the Art Institute of Virginia Beach student was found outside of a church in Charlotte, North Carolina on Sept. 29. She'd been missing for 11 days. Billie, the daughter of two veterans, was discovered 300 miles away from her job at a Virginia naval base where she was last seen.
Brown was seen attempting to flirt with Billie on multiple occasions during her shifts at the Blimpie sandwich shop on the Joint Expeditionary Base. He reportedly visited the shop every day and a witness said he even made a "crude sexual comment" toward the young woman. Billie's father Meltony Billie said Brown, who was also homeless and worked as a day laborer around the base, preyed on his young daughter.
"How was it that this guy was allowed to roam around base?" he asked.
Billie's mother Brandy Billie told WKTR-TV what it was like to see her daughter's alleged killer for the first time.
"I never actually pictured what he looked like beforehand," she said. "To see it it's like looking at a monster or an animal. I don't see a person when I look at him, I seen an animal, just evil."
Court documents claim Brown told a law enforcement official that he despised Black women and said they were "gold diggers" who "only want guys with all the money" in early October just days after her body was found.
DNA found on the young woman's body match Brown's DNA. On the kidnapping charge alone, Brown could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted.

But First Coffee
It starts quite simply. With a cup of delicious, aromatic coffee that, let's be honest, just make everything better. From beginning our day with it, to the mid-afternoon pick me up by our colleagues at work, coffee makes also most powerful and quickest networking tool. If coffee makes everything better, do you think it can make our world quite literally better too? Most definitely yes! Please carry on reading to find out how by drinking coffee we can contribute to saving our world!
When we reach to the coffee machine in the office kitchen in the morning, we don't really give too much thought where did it come from and what is its impact on our environment and society. Let's introduce the positive change and order coffee with Fairtrade Mark instead. We hear about it a lot but sometimes we are unsure what exactly stands behind this label. Below you will find some key facts.
A key goal however is to ensure fairness and justice in trade through increased transparency. Choosing Fairtrade products is one, let's talk about plastic waste.
We can also help to cut the emission of greenhouse gases and the amount of wastage linked to the production and transport of over 2,5 billion disposable coffee cups that every year land on garbage damp in the USA only. Let's drink coffee in our favorite porcelain or recyclable cup. Yes, you have to wash it but it is yours and no-one else has touched it before you:) Plus, it is estimated that we will use it around 3000 times throughout our lives which means reducing wastage by 30 times and air pollution by 60 times. Now, multiply it is by the number of employees in your company, then by city, country, continent... quite impressive, isn't it?
I love coffee. In fact I am drinking it right now as I write this post (fine..there is a cookie too). With something so common and wide-spread as coffee, our choices really become powerful. And if we can make a difference simply by choosing what kind of coffee (that usually tastes better too!) we drink, why wouldn't we?

To quote from this post on Digitalsynopsis,,, "IKEA Singapore's promo video for its 2015 catalogue is sure to make you smile for at least two reasons. Firstly, its an excellent parody of Apple's (already heavily parodied) product ads. Secondly, it uses digital catch-phrases like "original touch interface", "eternal battery life" and "loads instantly with zero lag" to remind us that traditional mediums like print are sometimes more engaging, effective and compelling than their digital counterparts."
