Business Idea: Spibelt
Video: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/living/2008/12/29/sbs.running.cnn
When you go for a run or a power walk or to the gym for a workout, sometimes you just want to take the bare essentials. The SPIbelt's goal is to be your "small personal item" (get it? Small Personal Item…SPI) pouch for just those types of activities.
The belt is a 7/8-inch-wide elastic strap with a snap buckle closure. The zippered pouch sewn into the belt is made from a lightweight, super-stretchy material. When it's empty, it's only 7 inches long and 1 inch wide. Trust us, though, this puppy can expand. One tester filled the SPIbelt with an MP3 player and a cell phone, each about 2 by 4 inches in size, as well as a driver's license and two credit cards and the darn thing kept growing and growing to accommodate them. Another tester was able to easily fit a pepper spray can and an ID in it. Another runner tried it as a compact way to carry a couple of sports gels during a half-marathon.
SPIbelt touts that it "does not bounce, ride or shift while running or doing other activities." One tester agreed, saying the pouch stayed still during her walks and didn't twist around her waist at all. A running tester found that it sat well on easy jogs, but during a race, it tended to shift and bounce unless she snugged it down very tightly on her waist, which made it a tad uncomfortable. Also, out testers discovered that when they did not tuck in their shirt, the SPIbelt tended to pull a loose shirt up and out, so the belt ended up against their skin, which was a bit irritating.
Another reviewer noted that if you go a little crazy filling it up with an MP3 player, cell phone and multiple credit cards, the pouch does have a tendency to flip up a bit and not lie flat against the body anymore. But if you show more restraint, like one electronic device and an ID, it will lie more flat.
Also, when we used the belt during runs, it was difficult to fetch out ONE thing, such as a sport gel. Unless we stopped, we ran the risk of losing small items like an ID, money, a car key or a second gel. To remedy that, we'd suggest adding a key fob or some type of small slim pocket inside for an ID, credit card or that second gel. Of course, that may defeat the minimalist approach. One tester solved the issue by adding a large safety pin to secure a baggie to hold the goods or to attach a key.
The SPIbelt can hold up to five GU packets, but only with care can you fetch one out without losing the others — again, unless you stop — which may be fine on a workout but not during a race or other event. And it was difficult to fiddle with the zipper to put the wrapper back in while we were in mid-stride (so one tester — not wanting to litter mid-race — shoved the packet down her shorts!). But, as a way to carry items that you won't be fetching while in motion, it's a nice compact alternative. You could use it during a gym workout when you want your valuables or an MP3 player handy, or simply while traveling when you don't want to carry a wallet or purse but want your stuff close for security. As narrow and small as it is, it won't be conspicuous.
Despite a few fumbles, the SPIbelt is interesting and could be useful not only for runners, racers and power walkers, but also to hikers and travelers.
It's available in two sizes: small/medium for 20- to 32-inch waists, and medium/large for 28- to 40-inch waists. SPIbelt's website said it can also double as a race number belt by adding hooks you can buy for 50 cents.

Are you feeling insecure or anxious about your relationship? But you can't quite put your finger on why you feel like this? Well, it might be because your intuition is telling you that something is wrong. And although you'd probably like to dismiss your worries as petty and trivial, they may be more significant than that. Could they be the first signs of a break up?
Most women have a powerful intuition. And when they ignore what their intuition is telling them, they often regret it.
If you are not normally insecure and needy, there might be good reasons for your uneasiness. Relationship problems don't always blow up suddenly in a big fight; they can creep up slowly and subtly. So subtly, in fact, that you don't even notice that things have already started to go wrong.
So if you think you see signs of a break up, then perhaps you should start looking at how your boyfriend is behaving.
What Are the Signs of a Break Up?
When you want to know more about men's true feelings and intentions; don't listen to what they say. Look at their actions.
When things are good between you, a man's words should tally with his actions. If they have started to diverge, it's a problem. And when they do; it's his actions, not his words, that are speaking the truth.
So look at how he is behaving towards you, and see whether he is starting to do things that you should be worried about.
These are all typical signs that a break up might be in the offing.
1. He is calling you less often than he used
Even on days when you don't see each other, a loving boyfriend will want to talk to you to exchange news; and just reassure himself that you are OK. If his calls are becoming less frequent, you're entitled to wonder why. He might just be very busy; too busy to call as often as he usually does. He might have a problem; and withdrawn to his man-cave while he looks for a solution. Or he might be withdrawing from the relationship.
2. He takes longer than before to respond to YOUR calls and emails
If he is always too busy to get back to you when you call, or he takes much longer than usual to respond to your texts and emails, then it might be because he genuinely didn't see them. Or it could be that they just aren't as important to him as they were.
3. You have fewer dates and hang out together less than you used
There could be lots of good reasons for this; he might be overwhelmed at work, he might be ill, or he might have family or personal problems. But if there isn't really any particular reason, then spending time with you is not the priority for him that it was.
4. He's no longer making plans for the future
You used to talk about holidays and things you would do together in the future. But now he's cagey about committing to plans for next weekend. If he's started to say "We'll see" or "I'm not sure what I'm doing"; then he's no longer thinking of you in the long term. Along with all the other signs above, it shows that his emotional investment in your relationship is waning.
5. The PDAs and desire for sex has decreased
We all know how much men like sex, and for them it is central to a great relationship. If his interest in sex with you is waning, it might just be because you are becoming more settled as a couple. But if he is becoming less loving and affectionate too, then you might start to wonder. Women withdraw physically to assert their power in a relationship, but a man doesn't usually refuse sex unless he is losing interest in a woman altogether. This could be because he has found somebody else.
6. He shows interest in other women
Being in a relationship doesn't stop men noticing other women, but if he is also losing interest in sex with you, then it might be a sign that he is thinking of moving on. And if his interest is more than fleeting, or he openly checks out other women when he is with you; then not only is his interest waning, but he is also treating you with a disrespect that you shouldn't be willing to tolerate.
7. He appreciates and compliments you less
For men, giving is more natural and rewarding than receiving. His compliments are gifts that show how much he appreciates you. If he's not bothering to tell you how much he loves and values you any more, then he's less bothered than he was about making you happy. And that is one of the strongest signs of apathy and disinterest he can give.
8. The fights are becoming more frequent – and he cares less about making up
Most men prefer a quiet life and try to avoid emotional drama. When something is wrong, he will want to solve it as quickly as possible, so that life can get back to normal. But if he is just walking away from problems, instead of trying to solve them, then he is losing interest in the relationship.
9. He makes big changes to his normal routine
You used to see each other several times a week, and spend the weekends together. But now he's always working late, and hanging out with the guys at weekends. When he wants to spend his free time with anyone BUT you, it's a sure sign of trouble ahead.
10. He forgets anniversaries or special occasions
Most men are not as careless and forgetful as they sometimes like to make out. If he keeps forgetting important appointments or anniversaries like your birthday, although he always remembered in the past, then he is becoming indifferent to your feelings and your happiness.
11. He doesn't react when you don't call him for several days
Although you shouldn't do this just to play games, this is a useful test if you feel you boyfriend is genuinely starting to slip away. If you don't call him, he should call you to find why YOU haven't called, or if something is wrong. If he doesn't bother, then obviously he's not that interested in you any more.
12. Things just don't feel the same when you ARE together
Remember how excited you used to be when you knew you were going to see him that evening? Where did it all go?
If you no longer feel excited and happy when you see him, then the chemistry between you is fading. This could be the main reason why your boyfriend is losing interest in your relationship. Most men aren't willing to work at relationships before they have made a real commitment; so if the sexual tension and chemistry between you has gone, then he won't see much point in continuing.
Take These Signs of a Break Up as an Alert for Your Relationship
So how did your boyfriend – and your relationship – measure up?
Just because you've seen some of these signs of a break up in your relationship, it doesn't mean the end is inevitable. If you take it as a warning sign that you might have a few problems, you can use your knowledge to turn things around and spice up the attraction and chemistry between you.
Don't think that all is lost, and lose faith in yourself. Noticing these signs in time gives you a chance to do something about your relationship before it's too late.
He chose you, so you already know he is attracted to you. Use that confidence to remind him why he chose you, and how you are still the only woman in the world for him.

Below: The late skeptic and former Fundamentalist- Martin Gardner.
It is a joy to remember one of the most formidable skeptics we've seen in the U.S.: Martin Gardner, who died last month at the age of 95. Gardner wrote more than 70 books, tackling a variety of topics, but particularly many to do with math puzzles and conundrums. (His mischievous puzzles likely paved the way for the current Sudoku craze, not to mention tredoku and futoshiki).
Gardner's most recognized talent was as a popularizer of extremely difficult science topics, from relativity to basic mechanics and quantum mechanics. Probably there hasn't been such a wide ranging popularizer since Isaac Asimov. And like Asimov, Gardner earned the respect of serious thinkers, from Noam Chomsky to Stephen J. Gould and Robert Penrose.
One other curious and unusual aspect of Gardner, apart from his ability to simplify esoteric fare, was his background. He grew up in a strict fundamentalist household, where questioning things outside the Bible wasn't tolerated. As we know, to the diehard fundie independent thought is the one common enemy and inevitably associated with "Satan".
Thus, it was remarkable that Martin abandoned his fundamentalism, lock, stock and barrel by the end of his teenage years. The proximate agent for his leaving the fundies behind? He acquired a voracious reading habit- gobbling up everything from Kant, to Plato to the science fiction of H.G. Wells. As Gardner read, and the more he read, the more convinced he was that the KJV he'd been living by was merely a corrupted compilation of exaggerated fairy tales.
With that rejection, there arrived the simultaneous reverence for rationality, and logic. Gardner made these tools his stock in trade as he studied Philosophy at the University of Chicago. Later, in the course of his jeremiads against pseudo-science and assorted foolishness disguised as fact, they served him well.
With efficiency, grace and no small amount of humor, he easily punctured and gored all the superstitious sacred cows of the culture, including: Creationism, "Armageddon", Astrology, spoon bending and Scientology. He even ventured into the realm of macro-economics, easily dispatching the idiocy of Arthur Laffer and his "Laffer Curve' - which subsequently became the basis of Ronald Reagan's "voodoo economics" -aka, supply side bunkum.
In the end, Gardner had little tolerance for any bunkum, no matter what window dressing of superficial appeal it offered. With the razor of reason he was able to flay the layers of nonsense off one by one and expose the final product as baseless, and unworthy of mental energy.
Though Martin will always be remembered most for his math puzzles, his role as a supreme skeptic will always be revered.
Interestingly, in his later years Gardner expressed a belief in God, which kind of astounded his millions of followers who'd always assumed he was an atheist. Gardner intimated his belief was "based on an emotional turning of the will unsupported by logic or science".
However, like my friend John Phillips, Gardner's God was not the comic caricature of the Bible but a more sublime entity which has the potential to use energy creatively.
In other words, to the fundies whose faith he abandoned as a youth, he'd still be regarded as littler better than an atheist - and due for broiling or barbecuing in the same "lake of fire".
Of course, Martin is laughing uproariously now, likely noting that - like ghosts - the Hell of the fundies doesn't exist!

The End of a Thing
"Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit." —Ecclesiastes 7:8
Mentor's koan invites a good deal of thought: In what sense is the end of a thing better than it's beginning? Let's puzzle it out…
The Hebrew noun here translated "end" literally means "afterward" and refers to an end-product, or the outcome of an action. I would translate the couplet this way:
Outcomes are better than beginnings;
patience is better than pride.
If we think about God's outcomes, they are always better, for, as Paul reminds us, "all things work together for good." The phrase "all things" refers to...well, all things, even the things that annoy us. The "good" He envisions for us is the best possible good: the eternal purpose for which we were created, to show forth the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:28-30).
The antithesis "patient/proud" in the second line of the verse is surprising; You would expect the parallel to be "patience/impatience." The juxtaposition of patient and proud suggests that impatience is actually pride—prideful presumption. We think, if God would give us a chance to shape our own destiny, we would do a better job of it than he.
So…every time I grumble about my lot; every time I'm displeased, hurt, or resentful when things don't go my way; every time I show impatience in the face of delay, I'm thinking that I have a a better plan and purpose for my life than that which God has envisioned for me.
Is it not better to rest in God's wisdom and love and say to Him in every situation, "Let it be to me according to your word." Then God can continue to work toward the outcome He has envisioned from the beginning.
BTW: The word here translated "end" (afterward) often means the after-life in the Old Testament. And that, of course, is the best outcome of all.

are you expecting too much from your poached egg?

I mean the loose strands are going to be there in most cases but after you plate the eggs you can gently wipe those away with a paper towel along with any extra water.
I found no benefit in adding vinegar but in my unscientific tests adding some light oil (grapessed) seems to help give the eggs a smoother texture for some reason. Perhaps just from less friction in the swirling water on the smooth pan.
I tried the boil, turn off and let sit method and for me at least, I get better results both in the shape and consistency with the swirl method on medium heat. No vinegar, sometimes a little oil. For me in the sit method, what I end up with looks like a fried egg that was boiled. In the swirl method I get a little cacoon-ey pod egg...
I wonder if your water is really hard or soft and this has an effect? Also just because your eggs are fresh is not the only issue. If the eggs are fresh but the whites are loose then you will get the loose strings regardless.
When I crack the eggs into a shallow dish or bowl I will keep an eye out to just get the yolk and attached white and leave whatever extra white that I can in the shell. This helps minimize the loose whites. Also when I put the eggs into the water, I do so just above the surface of the water so they are gently transferred into the swirling water.

These days I have been giving this simple guidance to my students. Whenever they get stuck in their practice, they must ask themselves, "is it technical or musical?"
Technical Command means two things : 1. appropriate application of technique, and 2. sufficient command of the technique applied.
For TC 1, you must find which technical application you need to execute that certain passage, is it more of a forearm rotation or an upperarm rotation? Is it the palm grip or knuckle issue? Or are your fingers not close enough on the keys before execution? Etc etc. Or for TC 2, you have the right technical application but you have trouble in making it happen with solid control, then how are you going to fix it? Is it just about slow practice that magnifies the movement? Or is it a preparation problem, meaning you don't prepare your hand position early enough prior to the execution of the pattern in question?
Musical Knowledge on the other hand, includes : 1. harmonic and structural analysis of the music (form, sections, phrasing, tonality, key changes, chord progression, notes: chord tones and non-chord tones, and relationships between notes i.e. intervals etc) , 2. historical background of the music (genre, the composer, and the period – other genres, philosophy, aesthetics, and other arts e.g. literature), and 3. interpretation resulted from the understanding of both 1 and 2.
I would point out MK 1 is what most need for the basic interpretation for MK 3. Without 1 there is no basis and knowledge as to where one's performance interpretation and discretion arises from. How do you know what to do with that particular phrase or chord or note in terms of emphasis, articulation and dynamics? What do you feel and how do you present it and what is the difference when there is a minor 6th but not minor 3rd, or even, and augmented 5th? Of course, now I am pointing out a very small detail here, but always, especially when you have little experience in analyzing the music, start with something big. You start with bigger sections, then find out where each phrase starts and ends, and also the repeated /similar patterns in terms of melody and rhythm. Look for the chords especially some special sounding ones, and the cadences which define the keys and key changes. Where are the secondary dominants? The pedal points?
Let me discuss further in the next post. I think there is already a lot to digest for now. Always one step at a time.
Until then,
Teresa Wong
Tag: Schubert
September 17, 2012
"Romanticism" was first referred to describe concepts in German literature in 18th Century, when the literature was said as "romance-like" or "narrative". It was used and its concept widely applied in 19th Century in music. Romanticism emphasizes the emotion, the inner feeling of mankind. It is about the naïve and folklike, the strange and surprising, the fairylike and remote, the joy and pain. Music then rose to be the highest rank of all arts as the most able means to express the inner soul and thoughts of man, to voice the inexpressible.
Music was then closely related to other arts, especially the literature. At that time, the most favorite topics for writers and composers were: the nature, the moonlight, the dream, the river, lake and forest, the joy and pain of love, the fairy tale, the supernatural etc. There was a rise of the middle-class in Europe so that the audience became more educated and music became more amateur and domestic on one hand. Musicians became the moral leaders of the society.
"Lied" (art song) got gradually popular in 19th Century. It first appeared in 15th Century when poetry was meant to be sung, like those stanzas by Homer. As a matter of fact, "Lied" meant poem with music or without (plural: "Lieder"). It was always associated with the primitive and then the folk poetry. Around 1750, there was an increase in interest for folk art, folk poetry and folk music in Western Europe. As lied was a combination of poetry and music, it was the best means to the music, and then the singer and the pianist to the audience.
At first, since lied was required to be written in folk and simple manner, it was only for the amateur and the leading German composers did not care about this genre. Goethe was the very important figure in German literature of the time to cast great influence on development of lied. Goethe insisted that his poems should be set in a very simple and folk-like manner and repetition of words, extensive melisma and ornaments should be avoided as much as possible. This was to reveal the meaning of the poem very clearly through the composition of music.
Goethe's "music advisers", Ielter and Reichardt, set a lot of his poems to lieder. The "WandersLied I" was set in both composer's songs. They were the leading composers of the Berlin song school. The other younger generation of composers were Berger and Klein. Berger's song collection with the setting of Müller may have influenced that by Schubert.
In general, this North German group of composers was more in favor of setting Goethe's poems (and others') faithfully in their music. Zumsteeg, of the South Germany, had more variety in music since he was geographically farther away from Goethe who thus had less influence on him. His setting of Berger's "Leonare" was full of recitative style, arioso, simple song melody and dramatic interlude for piano. The other song for Goethe's "Colma" was about the Romantic were used, e.g. the tremolo octave, figuration was used to depict the roaring wind and the descending scale the waterfall in the right hand of the piano accompaniment.
Both Zumsteeg and Schubert set Kosegarten's "Nachtgesang" in their lieder. Zumsteeg's setting reveal his faithfulness to the poem's structure, thus very harmonically simple musical setting and chordal accompaniment, while Schubert had more variety musically, with wide leap and more harmonic interest to bring out the essence of the poem.
The reason Schubert set the kind of third-rate poems to his song is that the delicacy of the rhyme and meter of the first-rate poems creates a serious problem to the composer. The other problem would be how to depict the meaning of poem in the music: whether to be truly faithful to the poem or to suggest another side of meaning is the choice of the composer. (Plantinga)
Schubert raised the status of lied to the highest at the time as he artfully combined poem and music together. He was much more academically and literally educated than the other composers of the time as he was the son of schoolmaster and was raised to be one. He knew how to render the meaning and the structure of the poem and skillfully applied that to his setting of poems to music. He was in much favor of Goethe, Müller and Heine's poems.
"Gretchen am Spinnrade" is a poem of ten stanzas from Goethe's "Faust" Part I. It is about the maid's infatuation with the Faust. The piano accompaniment has the figuration of the spinning of the wheel throughout except the stop in between when Gretchen was overcome with intense emotion. As the emotional intensity increased, the modulation was applied to one step higher and higher, from Eb to F, G & finally A minor. The lied is in tripartite form which Schubert favored to neglect the strophic setting of Goethe's poem.
"Erlkonig" (1815) is another lied with Goethe's poem. This is a Danish legend and is a ballade. It has four characters: narrator, father, child and Erlking. The singer is required to portrays the four different characters. Here the piano accompaniment always present the figuration to depict the galloping of horse. It is a very difficult accompaniment which was unusual of the time as the amateur status of lied still prevailed. The music is actually in through-composed structure though one may argue the music sounded like repeated and varied very little in strophic manner. The tonality of "child" is always ambiguous, that of "king" in major key and with simple melody (except the last time in minor) and the "father" very assuring. The father and child's melodic register are set in low vs high tessitura.
Beethoven's "An die ferne Geliebte" is the first lieder cycle which is a collection of songs with similar mood and theme of poems set. Then comes Schubert's "Winterreise", "Die Schöne Müllerin" and Geshwanengesang". Schumann also has "Dichterliebe" and "Liederkreis".
Schumann's "Mondnacht" from "Liederkreis" (with text by Eichendorff) (1840) depicts the calm and beautiful moonlight. The piano accompaniment has the prelude which depicts "the kissing of the earth"
with descending line, and it is repeated as interlude, and postlude which encapsulates and ends the song. The prelude sets the mood for the voice which has very simple melodic and the lyrical line throughout.
The Golden age of lied was built by Schubert and Schumann, with the praise of love and of German poetry. Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler also wrote some lieder, but especially Mahler used orchestral accompaniment instead for the voice. Wolf also has a big collection of songs, and he tends to be more faithful and to reveal the meaning of poems.

A quick look at the Pistons' lack of a game on Christmas Day. Video by Ryan Ford/DFP
Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson suffered a right ankle sprain during the third quarter of Tuesday's game against the Pacers at Little Caesars Arena.
On a drive to the basket, Jackson jumped to pass the ball. When he landed, he did so by rolling his ankle. Jackson writhed in pain and was unable to get up on his own power.
Jackson was shown on Fox Sports Detroit leaving the court, getting help on both sides and putting no weight on his right foot.
In the fourth quarter, the team officially deemed the injury a sprained ankle and that further evaluation would come later.
After the game, a 107-83 win for the Pistons, coach Stan Van Gundy said X-rays on Jackson's ankle were negative and that he'll have an MRI on Wednesday.
Experiencing a bit of a resurgence after battling a balky left knee last season, Jackson had eight points, 13 assists and one turnover in 21 minutes before the injury. This season, Jackson is averaging 14.8 points, 5.2 assists and 2.8 rebounds.

Swatches: NYX Gel Liner & Smudger in Betwitching Betty9:28 AM
After about a year, I finally hit the bottom of my beloved Physicians Formula Gel Eyeliner in Black from the Hazel Eyes collection. Of course, this was clearanced out during the CVS beauty clearance, so I haven't been able to find this one to restock, and I missed out on the beauty clearance so I didn't end up buying anything to back up my inventory! Whoops! I have come to love using a gel eyeliner, particularly for black, because they go on smooth and don't crack or flake off during the day, where my liquid eyeliners tend to do just that.
Well, when I was in Ulta the other day looking for some St. Tropez self tanner, I spotted a new spread of NYX products. Well, these are new to me anyway! Included was a section of gel liners and smudgers, so I picked up the black, called Betwitching Betty. I'm pretty sure I paid $6.49 in the store, but online they are $7.99 at Ulta. The size is 0.11 oz/3g, and pretty much comparable in size to the Maybelline Eye Studio gel liners that come in a pot.
The idea behind this gel liner/smudger is it is multifunctional - use it simply as a liner, or smudge it out for a dramatic effect on the eye (above). I will say, the formula is so smooth and creamy, it can easly be smudged out without tugging or dragging on the eye. It is also so pigmented that one swipe with your eyeliner brush and this gives a rich, black line that blends right into the lashline. It is wet enough to be very easy to apply, but dries quick enough that your eyeshadow doesn't fall out onto the liner and stick to it. It's official. I am in love.
Below is a snapshot of the NYX liner pot next to the Maybelline Eye Studio as well as one of the Physicians Formula gel eyeliner pots, just for size comparison.
Swatched side-by-side: Physicians Formula (top) and the NYX in Bewitching Betty (bottom). One swipe each with my tarte eyeliner brush. If you zoom in, you can see the Physician's Formula has a slight purple shimmer, which is to enhance the hazel in eyes. The NYX is truly a pitch black liner.
Like I said, I am in love. I thought the Physician's Formula liners were easy to use, but this NYX is absolutly flawless. It glides on, dries, and lasts all day without smudging, cracking, flaking or fading. I like it so much I went and picked up the two browns in the collection - Charolotte (light brown) and Scarlette (dark brown). I will swatch these in an upcoming post.
Have you tried these liners/smudgers? What color did you try? What is your favorite brand of gel eyeliner?
3 comments
hmm I'm curious as to what makes you like the physician's formula more than the maybelline...the maybelline gel is my holy grail eyeliner, and I don't care for PF's gel liner. Maybe I'll have to try this Nyx liner!ReplyDeleteReplies
Of all the gel liners I had used up to the point I discovered the PF, it was the easiest and most pigmented black I had tried. I haven't tried Maybelline, although I have a couple of the colors. This NYX really is so smooth and dark, it makes application a breeze!Delete
Glad to see a review of these! I've kept passing them in the display because I wasn't sure about how they worked. I think I remember seeing some pretty colors, too!ReplyDelete

Are you currently running a college blog? While you may think that your blog is solely a way to update your readers on upcoming college events and stay in touch with your fellow students, there are many ways to make some extra money from it. Here are six different ways you can earn some extra money while also helping out your fellow students.
1. Teach Students to Save Money with Used and Rental Textbook Sites
A simple way to monetize your college blog is to promote used and rent textbook sites. As you know, many college students have a hard time paying for expensive college textbooks. Fortunately, there are many websites that sell used textbooks for lower prices and also rent out textbooks for students with even smaller budgets. This is the perfect way to help your fellow students while earning a commission from these sites.
While these textbook offers can be promoted throughout the year, the best time to promote these offers is during the beginning and end of the semester. Everyone is in a rush to get their textbooks in the beginning of the semesters. Some websites will also pay you a small fee for referring sellers. Don't forget the fact that many students will want to sell off their textbooks after they're done with the semester.
2. Help Struggling Students with Chegg Study
Another great service to promote is Chegg Study. Chegg Study is an education platform that helps students with their college courses. Chegg Study provides solutions, explanations and Q&As for a wide range of textbooks and courses. Students that are having a hard time with their math and science courses will benefit the most from Chegg Study.
Chegg Study also offers an online tutoring service. It uses a whiteboard and allows students to talk to tutors over the phone during their sessions. Students can choose from a large number of tutors. There is also a review system in place and a chat system so that students can find the tutor they need before they pay for a tutoring session.
3. Join Affiliate Programs to Promote Back to School Products
There's no better time than the beginning of the semester to join affiliate programs and promote back to school products. The list of products you can promote include backpacks, notebooks, laptops, dorm room furniture, and more. You can simply sign up with websites like Amazon, Staples, Office Depot, and Bed Bath & Beyond to find relevant products to promote on your college blog.
Instead of promoting random offers on your blog, it makes more sense to build content around categories. For example, you might create a post around the top five low budget laptops or the four types of bags you'll need for college. This will keep your promotions focused while providing value to your readers.
4. Promote Various Website Services
Many students will want to set up their own website. You can help guide their choices by providing resources for domain registrars, web hosting services, and website builders. And if you want to make extra money, you can get a reseller hosting account. A reseller hosting account will allow you to make more money out of the sales you generate and also brand the hosting company under your blog's name and design.
5. Partner with Local Tutors
Another great way to help students that are struggling with their courses is to connect with local tutors and offer to market their services on your blog. You'll find many advertisements for tutoring services across campus. Many can be found in the campus cafeteria, library, and computer rooms. If you can't find enough tutors, you can go to the different departments or administrative office for more information.
What you want to do is either charge tutors for a lead referral or work out an agreement where you get a percentage of their earnings from your referrals. The easiest way to get a partnership going is to charge for each lead. You can set up special tracking phone numbers that redirect to their number and charge the tutors for each phone call lead. Since tutors will quickly book their schedules, it's best to work with a good number of them.
6. Inform Your Fellow Students about Special Local Business Offers
There are always going to be local businesses near campus that are targeting students. This can be anything from restaurants, bars, clubs, movie theaters, to bowling alleys. It may be a good idea to reach out to these local businesses and see if they'd be interesting in buying a monthly sponsorship spot on your blog. This is a great way to generate recurring revenue while informing your fellow students about exclusive offers.
You can convince local businesses to offer exclusive discounts for students of your college. For example, a local bowling alley may offer a $2 discount per game for students of your college. You may be able to get a local restaurant to offer a free appetizer if two or more students come in to dine with them. The great thing about working with local businesses is that there are so many types of businesses you can work with.
Those are six solid ideas you can use to make extra money from your college blog. The great thing about these ideas is that you are actually providing students with resources that will help them. Depending on how heavily you promote your blog, you'll be able to make enough money to pay off your monthly expenses and even part of your tuition.

Jesus Christ is king of the universe and we are his subjects who hear his voice and follow him
Homily for Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe (B), 11/15/18:
Daniel 7:13-14; Psalm 98:1-5; Revelation 1:5-8; John 18:33-37
By Father Scott Karnik
This is the last Sunday in our liturgical year. This last Sunday always celebrates Jesus Christ as Universal King. It is the "day of the Lord." God the Father crowns His Son Jesus with kingship and dominion over the universe that God created. This reading from the Book of Daniel happens in the midst of the introduction of the four evil beasts which ravage everyone. There will be unprecedented disaster and grief everywhere. Our wealth will be useless. There will be no peace. God will crown Jesus King in the midst of this chaos. God the Father will give royal power to Jesus Christ as a universal sovereign. Jesus's power will be everlasting, untransferable, and imperishable. If you read Daniel Chapter Seven, you'll see the four beasts come from the sea, from the earth. Jesus comes on the clouds. He is the divine king and with His omnipotent power, He will destroy the beasts and establish order amidst this chaos. Jesus is not the successor to any earthly throne. Jesus is Lord over every earthly king. Jesus will reign over His created world. Jesus's reign will include the imposition of His holy law, His moral order. Holiness becomes His House, His Kingdom. All this describes Jesus the King of the Universe.
His Kingship relates to us. This King gives us "grace and peace"(Rev1:4). Jesus is the "faithful witness"(Rev1:5) He "loves us and has freed us from our sins by His Blood and has made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father,…"(Rev1:5). We are his priestly subjects. We are to glorify Jesus for the salvation we have received. We do not have to wait for the final destruction of evil for the victory. We already owe God thanks for His victory and salvation. Jesus will come again to judge those who reject Him and to take with Him those who follow Him. Judgment oracles like this one are to be read from this perspective. Believers share in Jesus's royal priesthood. It is a common priesthood, different from the ministerial priesthood others are called to. Jesus has united us with His Body when He offered Himself for us on the Cross. Each of us is a member of the Eternal Priest, Jesus. Jesus's Kingdom has no earthly origin. Jesus is a different type of king. Jesus is a faithful witness to the truth. He is king of those who hear His Voice and are committed to Him. His kingship and Kingdom are apolitical. Jesus's coronation as King begins at His Passion and culminated with His Ascension into heaven. Jesus's dominion as king extends over the whole earth through His Church, her teaching, and her sacramental ministry. That is where we subjects of Jesus come in. You will hear a beautiful description of Jesus Christ's Kingdom in the preface prayer in the offertory, coming up. Jesus's Kingdom is described as "an eternal and universal kingdom, a kingdom of truth and light, a kingdom of holiness and grace, and a kingdom of justice, love, and peace." We receive Jesus in His Sacraments and we conform ourselves to Him. We receive seven virtues to help us. They are the three theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity. God infuses them into us. The seven virtues also include four natural/cardinal virtues: courage/fortitude, justice, prudence, and temperance. The more we accept these virtues and practice them, the more we exercise our common priesthood in Jesus's kingdom. We can practice these natural virtues to sharpen them and to go against our selfish inclinations. God's Holy Spirit will guide us, quite frankly, through the teachings of His Church, this one, Holy Mother Church. Jesus gives us sanctifying grace. This sanctifying grace makes us sharers in His divine nature and life, adopted children, and heirs of heaven. Sanctifying grace enables us to act in a divine, holy way and cooperate with Jesus. We do that by being led by His Holy Spirit. We consent to Jesus's work, Jesus's word, Jesus's truth, Jesus's Kingship. Jesus Christ, our King, will not abandon us. He accompanies us on our mission to help us.
The reason why we must do this is because Jesus's victory is already won. Jesus is already king. Jesus is so powerful a king that He can speak and His words bring order and victory out of chaos and evil. And He does that. Those same words are now included in the teachings of His Church. The more we follow them, the more we accept His truth, hear His Voice, and follow Him. Through Jesus, His victory will be ours, on that day, when Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, comes again.

Make Comfortable With Period Bathroom Lighting
Period Bathroom Lighting – Having good lighting is important to make the bathroom comfortable and convey a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. It is most advisable to combine the different types of light: general, punctual and indirect. For general lighting, it is necessary to provide several points of light in the ceiling. Halogen spotlights are perfect because they produce a light very similar to natural light and, with equal power as incandescent bulbs, double light.
Among its disadvantages is that they emit a lot of heat, which for their installation requires a false ceiling to hide the transformer and that are somewhat more expensive than other period bathroom lighting bulbs. The sensation that a bath transmits is achieved by the combination of several elements, among which the lighting has a significant weight. Of all of them, the indirect call is the least known.
It is a type of period bathroom lighting that, although it does not have a practical paper so evident, is fundamental to achieve a more relaxing and cozy bath. There are many advantages that it offers us: it does not distort the colors used in the decoration, it is the most suitable when performing precision tasks and, of course, it supposes a significant saving in the electrical consumption.

Ginger lends its zing to sweet and savory dishes and drinks across a wide range of cuisines. In Indian and Asian cooking you will find fresh ginger root in many meat, seafood, and vegetable dishes. In Western cooking, ground ginger often flavors cookies, quick breads, and drinks such as ginger ale, tea, and coffee. It is also very common to find ginger in Caribbean dishes.
What Is Ginger?
Ginger is a spice that comes from the fresh or dried root of the ginger plant, Zingiber officinale. This plant belongs to the same family as turmeric and cardamom. It was domesticated in the islands of Southeast Asia and was known only in the West by being imported during the spice trade. Ginger is available in six forms: fresh, dried, pickled, preserved, crystallized (or candied), and powdered or ground.
Varieties of Ginger
Ginger has different uses depending on the form and variety.
Ground ginger, also referred to as powdered, is the dried and ground ginger root. It is readily available in standard supermarkets and is used primarily in sweets and curry mixes.
Fresh ginger is available in two forms: young and mature. The young roots are also called green or spring ginger. They have a pale, thin skin that requires no peeling, is very tender and has a milder flavor. It can be grated, chopped, or julienned for use.
Mature ginger root has a tough skin that must be peeled away to get to the fibrous flesh and is usually grated, chopped, or ground for use. If you notice a blue ring after slicing your fresh ginger, do not be alarmed. It is not mold or fungus. It is simply a Hawaiian variety of ginger known as blue-ring ginger or Chinese white ginger. This variety is considered to be superior for its juiciness and bright flavor. They are also larger rhizomes and generally cleaner. The only down-side is blue-ring ginger is usually more expensive.
Dried ginger is usually found in whole fingers and also in slices. It is usually soaked in recipe liquid before using.
Pickled ginger, called gari or beni shoga in Japan, is pickled in sweet vinegar and is usually colored bright red or pink. It is a familiar accompaniment to sushi and is also eaten to refresh the breath. Available at Asian markets, it should be kept refrigerated in its container.
Preserved ginger is available in Asian and specialty markets. This form has been preserved in a sugar-salt mixture. It is generally used as a confection or added to desserts, and it is especially good with melons.
Crystallized or candied ginger has been cooked in a sugar syrup until tender and then coated with granulated sugar. It is commonly used in desserts and can easily be made at home.
What Does It Taste Like?
The flavor of fresh ginger is peppery and slightly sweet, with a pungent and spicy aroma. Much like garlic, fresh ginger mellows with cooking and turns bitter if burned. The ground form is not as strongly flavored but has a warm bite and a little sweetness. Ground ginger most commonly used in sweet desserts and is not normally interchangeable with fresh ginger.
Cooking With Ginger
Mature fresh ginger must be peeled and then grated or chopped, while young ginger does not need to be peeled. It is added to food during cooking. Ground ginger can simply be added at the appropriate step to the batter or the cooking pot. Pickled ginger is served on the side as a condiment.
Recipes With Ginger
Ginger in its varied forms is included in a vast array of savory dishes, spice blends, condiments, sauces, desserts, and drinks.
Ground ginger is more concentrated than fresh ginger but has less of a bite. The standard is 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger equals 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger. However, this won't be appropriate for every recipe, such as in baked goods. In those cases, it would be better to substitute another ground spice such as pumpkin pie spice, allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, mace, or nutmeg. These can also be used as a substitute for fresh ginger in a pinch. When making sweets, you can substitute 1/8 teaspoon of ground ginger for every tablespoon of crystallized ginger, and adjust the sugar according to taste.
Where to Buy Ginger
Ground ginger can be found in the spice section, sold in small bottles. Look for crystallized ginger in the baking section. You may need to go to an Asian or specialty market to find pickled ginger or preserved ginger.
Fresh ginger can be found in the produce section of most grocery stores. Look for smooth skin with a fresh, spicy fragrance. Tubers should be firm and feel heavy. Long length is a sign of maturity, and mature rhizomes will be hotter and more fibrous. Avoid those with wrinkled flesh, as this is an indication of aged ginger past its prime. For convenience, you may find fresh ground ginger root in the produce section, available in plastic bottles that require refrigeration.
Ground ginger and dried ginger should be kept in a cool, dark cabinet in an airtight container for the best shelf life. It's good to regularly replace ground spices as they lose their potency over time.
Fresh, unpeeled root should be wrapped in paper towels, placed in a plastic bag and refrigerated up to three weeks. It may also be tightly wrapped and frozen up to two months. (To use frozen ginger, slice off a piece of unthawed root. Re-wrap unused portion tightly and return to the freezer.)
Peeled ginger root may be stored in Madeira or sherry wine in a glass container in the refrigerator up to three months. However, storing peeled ginger in wine will impart a wine flavor to the end ginger dish, so you may wish to forego this pre-prepared method for use in dishes where a wine flavor is not desirable.
Pickled and preserved ginger should be kept in their original containers in the refrigerator. Store crystallized ginger in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to three months.
Health Benefits of Ginger
Ginger has traditionally been used to relieve upset stomach, motion sickness, morning sickness, and other gastrointestinal problems. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), a division of the National Institutes of Health, says there is some scientific evidence that it can help with pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting, and when used with conventional anti-nausea medication, can help control nausea caused by cancer chemotherapy. The benefits are less clear that it can help in motion sickness and post-surgery nausea. While it has been studied to see if it is helpful for those with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, the results are not clear.
Ginger hasn't been shown to cause harm, but it hasn't been proven to be completely safe when taken during pregnancy. The NCCIH recommends discussing this with your doctor before using ginger during pregnancy.

A simple wooden chair sitting in a spotlight greets the audience arriving for this much-anticipated Joseph. It's a seat for the narrator, sure, but it also serves as a reminder of the humble beginnings of this cheeky, charming musical, written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice four decades ago for a school concert. And as the evening wears on, it begins to look like something of a reproach. For while you couldn't fault the energy of this razzle-dazzle production, it is so persistently upbeat and consistently over-amplified that it begins to swamp the light touch and neat wit that make this show such a winner.
The story, you remember, is the biblical tale of Joseph, who rose from shepherd and dreamer to become Pharaoh's number two. The story that draws the audience for this Joseph, though, is the television tale of Lee Mead, who rose from bit part and understudy to become Lloyd Webber's number one. Mead sang week in, week out in Any Dream Will Do, a talent contest-cum-audition, seeing off competition from builders, clerks and shop assistants to win the public vote.
They chose well: Mead, with his mop of dark curls and ready smile, has stage presence, oodles of charm and a great voice. He carries the show effortlessly. His acting is not a whole- hearted success, though. The part of Joseph is no Hamlet, but still I've seen performers get more out of it. Mead doesn't quite convey the mix of innocence and arrogance that so infuriates his brothers. Nor (and this is surprising, given that one of his strengths in Any Dream Will Do was his ability to find the story in a song) does he travel the full distance from abject despair to hope and resolution in his big solo, "Close Every Door". But he does fill the theatre with his fine, rich voice and his sheer delight at being there is infectious.
Mead is the linchpin in a revival of Steven Pimlott's 1991 London Palladium production, a staging that attempted to bridge the gap between the simplicity of the original show and the demands of the West End stage. It works, much of the time, largely by dint of never taking itself too seriously. Mark Thompson's droll design features singing camels and a Las Vegas-style slot machine that dispenses corncobs in Pharaoh's gaudy palace, and Nichola Treherne's revival brings on gyrating, mini- skirted dancers to remind us of the musical's 1960s origins. It fizzes with energy and is at its best in Lloyd Webber's big pastiche numbers: the delightful, mock-mournful country and western song that the brothers sing when they have despatched Joseph into slavery, and the even more pleasing French chanson that they deliver when famine starts to bite.
But the breathless pace takes its toll. It is too much on one note and, most crucially, the speed and amplification overwhelm the story and obscure some of the lyrics. Not only does this make the plot hard to follow, it also robs us of one of the chief joys of the show: Tim Rice's brilliant use of rhyming couplets. With lyrics such as "All these things you saw in your pyjamas/Are a long-range forecast for your farmers" you don't want to drop a line. Preeya Kalidas, as the narrator, suffers most: to make her words audible she strains her voice and her character's cool, ironic demeanour. Overstating your assets, as Joseph himself discovers, can get you into trouble. Mead's enthusiasm and the effervescent inventiveness of the show win through – but only just.

When it comes to discussing the causes and treatments of various skin problems, there are plenty of crucial aspects that need to be taken into consideration. Acne is a common problem that affects millions of individuals of all ages. It refers to a plethora of skin issues that include blackheads and whiteheads, pimples, plugged pores, and cysts that happen deep underneath the skin. Although majority of the teenagers get affected by this problem, but for some people, it does not go away even after the teenage years are over. Acne may not pose serious health risks, but it can have several negative implications, in terms of low self-esteem, permanent scarring, and concern over the appearance. Moreover, it can take years of treatment to get rid of it.
Whiteheads and blackheads are referred to be the simplest and smallest of all acne lesions. These are follicles that get blocked with tiny ingrown hairs, dead skin cells, dirt and oil, and bacteria. Blackheads have dark appearance, because of the fact that follicle is open and the plug is detectable. Once the follicle covers the plug, it tends to adopt skin color, or looks like a small bump. This can be called as a whitehead. They should not be lanced or popped, unless done by a professional. You can use blackhead-removal tools that are available in the market, which include pore cleaning strips and small devices that utilize suction.
The most commonly occurring lesion in acne is known as the pustule, which is commonly known as pimple. This is usually a bump that is covered under a thin layer of skin and has a white head. The white dome results mainly due to dead skin cells, pus built up under a layer of skin, and bacteria. This is often considered to be the beginning stage of an acne cyst. If pimple heals before reaching cyst stage, it usually doesn't undergo scarring. Dermatologists strongly advise against lancing and popping pimples, mainly because of the fact that it could introduce new bacteria into the lesion, thereby causing infections or scarring.
As far as the most severe forms of acne are concerned, cysts and nodules are prominent. Without having a white head of a pimple, nodules are large bumps that have reddish appearance. The reason they are difficult to treat is because they extend deep into the skin. As they extend into lower layers of the skin, they can lead to scarring and inflict permanent damage to the skin, even if they heal properly. Cysts are similar to the nodules, except for the fact that cysts contain other materials, like dead blood cells. In addition to the fact that both forms are painful, they can be extremely sensitive to the touch. While cysts are rare, nodules may occur with occasional breakouts.
With that said, in the remaining part of the article, you would be able to find out 10 easy tips concerning acne treatment:
Cleaning your Skin:
- Cleaning your skin is one of the most important steps to get rid of acne. Clean your neck, face, chest, and upper back by using a mild, fragrance-free skin cleanser two times a day. Make sure to avoid using deodorant or harsh soaps that contain chemicals, as they may contribute to the severity of acne.
- You should wash your skin using your hands rather than with a cloth, as it could enhance the acne problemby abrading the skin.
- Don't wash your skin too often and scrub it harshly. Despite the fact that cleansing does help in getting rid of dead skin cells and excess oils from skin pores, frequent washing may intensify acne by over-drying your skin.
- It is crucial to wash your hair on regular basis to avoid hairspray, oil, or other similar products from blocking your skin pores. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends shampooing on daily basis for people having oily hair.
Facilitate Natural Clearing:
- Don't squeeze or pick pimples, as it can irritate skin and enhance the possibility of causing additional pimples. Squeezing pimples may lead to a severe infection of your skin, which could potentially lead to acne scars. Human body has the ability to naturally heal mild to moderate acne problems.
- Use tropical tea tree oil to clear your skin and avoid further breakouts. According to health experts, tea tree oil contains natural antibacterial chemicals that can decrease the number of pimples on the skin.
- Take steps to reduce friction in acne-prone areas. The friction produced by a hat, goggles, helmet, or athletic gear could delay acne healing and cause the development of new pimples. If you have to wear clothing that causes friction, make sure to remove it immediately after your activity ends.
- Avoid using astringent products which contain alcohol. As these products can contribute towards excessive drying of skin, these products may lead to enhanced oil production and frequent breakouts.
Clear your Pores:
- Make sure to avoid using sunscreens or cosmetics that contain oil, as the use of these products could block your pores and aggravate acne. Use products which are labelled as non-comedogenic or oil-free.
- Washing your face with a gentle cleanser is important if your working environment contains a lot of dirt, dust, or grease.
- Don't touch areas that are prone to acne with your hands, as it would help protect the transfer of irritating and harmful elements to your skin.

India's Factory Output And Electricity Demand Plunge To Decade Lows Amid Economic Downturn
Courtesy of ZeroHedge View original post here.
The economic slowdown in India is gaining momentum, new government data Monday shows India's factory output fell to the lowest level in eight years, resulting in power demand across heavily industrialized states plunging to 12-year lows.
Asia's third-largest economy saw industrial production fall to 4.3% in September YoY, the lowest print since Oct. 2011.
Industrial production recorded the second straight month of declines in factory output as the automobile crisis in the country deepens.
India's economic growth slipped to a six-year low of 5% for the April-June period as the automobile industry faces a severe downturn. Consumer demand in recent quarters has also weakened, along with a slowdown in government spending.
The industrial slowdown has resulted in a 13.2% drop in India's power demand for the October period on a YoY basis, a 12 year low according to the data from the Central Electricity Authority (CEA).
"The slowdown seems to be deep-rooted, especially in the industrial sector. That would certainly increase the anxiety with regard to growth prospects in the current year," said N R Bhanumurthy, a professor at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy in New Delhi.
Energy consumption in heavily industrialized states, including Maharashtra and Gujarat, led the declines with -20% demand drop in October, over the past year.
India's infrastructure output contracted 5.2% last month, one of the worst prints in 14 years, as economists are troubled that aggressive government spending is failing to produce a soft landing in the economy.
The epicenter of the crisis is situated in the heart of the automobile sector, something we warned about several months ago.
