The World Wide Web has changed the way of people's lifestyle. This one system has changed how people shop, how people eat, how they choose things, how they read the news, in fact, is has created a whip on everything. The Internet is accessible from anywhere in the world and therefore everyone can get everything in this world. The Internet is a great source of online products. From a little nose pin to a heavy lifting crane is now available on the internet. But the internet is mostly selling gadget and accessories. The question is why people are choosing the internet commercials over the traditional mediums.
The answer is the internet has changed the way of people's searching for things. Now with a smartphone, a person can easily look for the goods that person wants to purchase. For example, a person had to go to a store to buy a product before. And also it does not ensure the performance of the products. But on the internet, the user can simply visit different websites for that product, compare similar products, read user opinions and choose the one that fits best to get the delivery at the doorstep. The Internet provides all these benefits to the customers, but why a business will choose the internet to market their products requires an elaborate answer.
Advertisement media planning is creating the plan to choose the best media. The business must have a deep understanding of the current media and compare those against the product the business is selling. The Internet provides some benefits over the traditional mediums like televisions, radio, newspapers etc.
Bigger Range: The Internet gives a bigger range of customers. For a business, the Internet gives customers from all over the country even outside of the country. Whereas a newspaper or television ad only provides nationwide telecast.
Specific: Internet ad is specific. Idea based innovative advertisements can attract people to buy their goods. Internet advertisements usually show something very specific and to the point. So the customers do not get bored to see these ads.
Targeted: The Internet allows setting for targeted customers. Most of the agencies provide customer age, race, education and other things tracking system. So the business can target customers to sell their products. But on the other hand, traditional mediums does not provide targeted customer services and the business needs to give an all in one advertisement with no specialty.
Inescapable: Usually people switch channels when they come to face any advertisements. But generally, internet advertisements are inescapable because it is only a picture or a simple video that is shown mandatorily before showing the actual content. Also, some websites will only load if the internet user allows advertisements. Internet advertisement ensures reaching the target customer.
Cheaper: Internet advertisements are cheaper than the traditional mediums. Compared to the services such as targeted audiences, bigger customer range and ensuring reaching the market internet ads are much less costly than the traditional mediums.
Television had brought a bigger change in the history of advertisements. But now the days have come to step forward in internet advertisements.

I was supposed to mail Ariane's Lawn Cat days ago.
Weeks ago.
But I had that post-office-phobia again. The one where I pretend to be afraid of the post office because I don't feel like going. But once I had Ariane's package, Sean's package and three orders for Shower Art, I knew the time had come. I could no longer put off the inevitable.
Luckily Doug was kind enough to drive me to the post office since that Lawn Cat weighs more than you would think and I have a bulging disk in my neck that prevents me from ever doing real work.
Ariane had sent my chips and dip sculpture thing about a week before. And luckily for me, the box was the perfect size to send off Sean's Pin Up Girl with Meat Wings painting. Sean, you only have Ariane to thank. I did nothing. I didn't even make it to the post office on my own.

A certain amount of self-evaluation can be good. We should have insight into ourselves, our motives, our choices, and our actions. But sometimes we can go too far. When self-evaluation ends with ourselves instead of pointing us beyond ourselves, there's a problem.

Anyone who has prepared a big holiday meal knows that to stay on track, A LOT has to be going on at the same time and all of them need your attention. 2 things boiling, 1 thing in the oven, 4 things waiting to be chopped…a hungry child…or two. You know how it goes…preparing a holiday meal is no joke! So any time I can take a shortcut, I take it. This Quick and Easy Vegan Pumpkin Pie has a couple small shortcuts that will have you moving on to other things in the kitchen that are begging for attention.
Pumpkin pie is a staple at Thanksgiving for us. My kids love it, so it's always requested. I even make one at Christmas. Is pumpkin pie at Christmas a thing? Or is that just us? Either way, it's always a part of our dessert menu during the holidays. I usually go all out and I make the crust myself, but sometimes, a shortcut is needed. (If time is not an issue, you may want to check out my vegan chocolate pumpkin pie recipe).
So what makes this quick and easy vegan pumpkin pie quick and easy? And why will it save you time?
Well, the most time-consuming part of making any pie is usually the crust. This pie crust is pre-made and store-bought. I also forego all of the separate spices and opt for pre-mixed pumpkin spice mix. And those two things are what makes this pumpkin pie a time saver. You may be wondering why I don't use pumpkin pie mix in this recipe, because THAT would be the ultimate time-saving way to make pumpkin pie. If you use pumpkin pie mix, you have no control over the sweetness and the spices (and some of the strange extra ingredients). So I prefer to use pure pumpkin puree (click here to learn how to make homemade pumpkin puree) and build the flavour myself. In total, it takes 5 minutes to prepare the filling, that's it!
Pre-made vegan pie crust may not be so easy to find, depending on where you live. Check your grocery store, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, or your local health food stores. If you still can't find a vegan pie crust, you can pre-make your own. This is a good vegan pie crust recipe to try and the crust I use in my vegan chocolate pumpkin pie recipe is gluten free and can be used here if you'd like (but using that crust will add time to this recipe, so it may not end up being so quick, after all!).
If you do opt to make your own crust, make the crust before the big day and have it ready and waiting for when it's quick and easy vegan pumpkin pie making time!
Adding a topping to your pumpkin pie when you serve it is totally optional but highly recommended! I personally love to have a big drop of coconut whip on top (learn how to make coconut whip here) but it's up to you. If you do go with coconut whip, you can also prepare it the day before so it's ready and waiting for serving time.
And…to make things even easier for you on the big day in the kitchen, make your pie the day before so you don't have to worry about it the day of.

How to Make a Quick and Easy Vegan Pumpkin Pie
- 1 x 9-inch unbaked vegan pie crust (read info above)
- 2 cups pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix!)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (I use almond)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp arrowroot starch (see note below)
- 1 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- coconut whip (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine pumpkin puree, unsweetened non-dairy milk, coconut sugar, arrowroot starch, pumpkin spice, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk all ingredients together until well combined.
- Pour pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie crust and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
- Bake for 60 minutes.
- Remove the pie from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
- Set aside to cool until it's time to serve.
- The pie may still be a little wobbly in the middle when you take it out of the oven, not to worry, it will firm up as it cools.
- Homemade pumpkin puree tends to a be a little more runny than canned. If you are using homemade puree, bump the arrowroot starch up to 2 1/2 tablespoons.
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, use the following spices in its place: 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg.
- Calorie count is for 1 slice (of 8) and does not include any garnishes.

Since today is Valentine's Day, I think it's important to talk about what today is all about--your heart. We associate Valentine's Day with a heart full of love, but a healthy heart is just as important!
Health studies have established that eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can improve heart and overall health. Omega-3s are essential nutrients, meaning our bodies require them, but cannot produce them; so we must consume foods containing them as part of a balanced diet.
People who eat fish regularly enjoy significant heart-health benefits thanks to the naturally occurring EPA and DHA. Thus, the American Heart Association recommends consuming two 4-ounce portions per week. Here are some heart-health facts about fish:
- Eating fish regularly can reduce the risk of developing heart (cardiovascular) disease.
- Omega-3s in fish help maintain healthy blood cholesterol levels by reducing triglycerides and raising amounts of HDL ("good" cholesterol).
- Eating fish several times per week can reduce inflammation throughout the body, including blood vessels. Inflammation of blood vessels is believed to contribute to plaque build-up and blood clots, which can lead to heart attack.
- The omega-3s in fish can help the heart maintain a slower and more regular rate, and reduce the occurrence of irregular heartbeat known as arrhythmia.
- People who eat fish regularly tend to have consistently lower blood pressure than those who do not.
- Although it is important for blood to be able to clot to repair damage to the body, clotting within the arteries can lead to a heart attack or stroke. The omega-3s in fish help blood flow more smoothly without clotting in the arteries.
- In addition to supporting excellent heart health, eating omega-3-rich fish regularly may also help prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease, depression, stroke and some types of cancer. It is also thought to boost immunity and provide relief from joint pain and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
Eating fish and seafood two to three times per week can provide the necessary amounts of EPA and DHA to reap the heart—and general—health benefits associated with omega-3s. Incorporate fish and seafood into your regular menus for delicious new flavors and better heart health.
Although all types of fish and seafood are lean sources of protein, making them a healthy protein choice, not all fish contain high levels of omega-3s. When trying to increase the amount of omega-3s in your diet, make sure to choose salmon, albacore tuna, mackerel, sardines, herring or halibut.

Not a fish-lover yet? To help your taste buds acclimate to the flavor, start with "lighter" tasting fish such as tilapia. Keep trying new recipes with different cooking methods and flavors. Remember, you must try a new food several times to begin to develop a taste for it. Don't give up! Your heart will thank you. If you just can't stomach it or are vegan, talk with your doctor or dietitian about supplement options.
Guess what's next?! Fish recipes, of course. Next I'll share one of my favorite lunches. It includes heart-healthy salmon and is so simple to throw together!

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF)
Home > PEMF
Energy is all around us; atoms, chemicals, cells and even our organs each produce a unique bio-electromagnetic field (EMF) signature. Roughly 70 trillion cells in our body communicate with each other via electromagnetic frequencies. When this ceases, life ceases.
Evidence is beginning to mount that a new form of pollution, dubbed electro-smog, is disruptive to cell metabolism. This can come in the form of power lines, communication towers, TVs, cell phones, hair dryers, computers and even microwave ovens. This pervasive cloud of EMFs can stress our body and drain our energy.
PEMF works to:
- reduce pain, inflammation, and stress on our body
- improve circulation, blood and tissue oxygenation, cell detoxification, and regeneration of healthy cells
- relax muscles
- improve sleep
- accelerate the repair of bone and soft tissue
PEMF is NOT recommended for people who are:
- pregnant
- using a pacemaker
- suffering from any form of epilepsy

BRAZIL: S&P Downgrades Sovereign Rating To BB- From BB
S&P Global Ratings lowered long-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings on Brazil to BB- from BB. The outlook on the ratings is stable.
«The weakening of our institutional assessment of Brazil reflects slower-than-expected progress and lower support by the country's political class to put in place meaningful legislation to correct structural fiscal slippage on a timely basis,» S&P said in a report. «Recent political developments also foreshadow the risk of greater policy uncertainty after national elections later this year.»
According to the credit risk rating agency, the stable outlook «reflects our view that there is a less than one-in-three likelihood that we could raise or lower the ratings on Brazil over the coming year.»
S&P also said that Brazil's comparative external and monetary policy strengths help offset significant fiscal weakness, while the country's economy has growth prospects lower than peers and the «effectiveness of policymaking across branches of government has weakened.»
The rating agency warned that «we could lower the ratings over the coming year should unforeseen weakness in Brazil's balance of payments arise that either impairs market access or generates a sharp rise in external debt.»

Observing with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), which uses new sub-millimeter observation technology, an international team of astronomers discovered the recurring brightening of EC53, which is located in a stellar nursery in the constellation Serpens Main.
The largest single-dish sub-millimeter telescope in the world, JCMT is the product of a partnership between China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. It is approximately halfway through a three-year survey of eight relatively close star-forming regions, aimed at studying brightness variations in young stars.
Understanding these variations will give scientists important insights into the processes of star and planet formation.
Star-forming areas, also known as stellar nurseries, are areas with abundances of molecular gas. Thick gas clouds around young stars make them impossible to see, meaning scientists have to study the clouds' properties to learn about the stars.
The gravity of baby stars pulls gas from the surrounding disk, enabling the stars to grow more massive while releasing energy that heats up the surrounding clouds.
Telescopes capable of observing in sub-millimeter wavelengths can measure the brightnesses of these clouds, which provide details about the young stars.
"This variation in the brightness or twinkle of the star EC53 suggests that something large is disrupting the gravitational pull of the forming star," said Doug Johnstone, Research Officer at the National Research Council of Canada and leader of the survey.
"The fact that it recurs every 18 months suggests that this influence is orbiting around the star--it's quite likely a hidden, forming planet. It is thought that a companion planet is orbiting the star, and its passing gravitational pull disrupts the rate of gas falling onto the forming star, providing a variation in the observed brightness, or light curve, of the star."
While variations in the EC53's brightness were previously observed in near-infrared wavelengths, sub-millimeter observations were necessary to confirm this is happening because gas is accreting onto the star.
Hyungju Yoo, a graduate student at Chungnam National University, and his adviser Jeong-Eun Lee of Kyung Hee University, both in South Korea, made the initial discovery.
"What caught my eye was a new round of data that showed a sudden brightness that hadn't existed in previous observations. I knew that something unique and interesting must be happening around this forming star," Lee emphasized.
The researchers plan to continue monitoring EC53 for the remaining duration of the survey and also look for other young stars with similar brightness variations.
A paper on their findings has been accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal.
