Month: January 2013
Yoga virgins…this one's for you!
To all the yoga newbies out there, there are a couple of things I really want to tell you…..
keep coming to class,
keep trying new things,
keep practicing (remember we call it yoga practice not yoga perfect)
and the next time you are in class look around (and yes, even up front at the teacher) everybody started right where you are right now…Everybody!! Talk to the folks that are doing 'stuff' in class you think you could never do, I bet you'll find out they haven't been doing this yoga thing very long. Learning Yoga, is about learning to express yourself, learning yoga is learning understanding, about who you are and where you're going. This is Yoga. A never-ending journey to be who we are right now. It is not now, nor has it ever been about trying to put your foot behind your ear, Let me say that again! Yoga is not about tying yourself in a knot, that's gymnastics not Yoga, but hey if you can that's Great! 'cause I sure as hell can't. Baby I don't bend that way!
So when you take a Yoga class, remember, that practice is an opportunity to wake up our body, shake loose the stiffness and dump that junk we carry. And it's never too late to wake your body and when the body is awake the Spirit very quickly follows and when the Spirit is awake there isn't anything you can't do.
Om Shanti
Ahhh January! A clean slate
I Love January.
To me January is like fresh paint on the walls, that new car smell or pulling up old carpet. January is a new beginning. A clean slate. From Halloween through December its go go go! With so many extra things going on that our regular routine gets shot all to hell. It starts with Halloween then it's one holiday after another & by the time January 1 rolls around you're pretty beat & as much as I love the feasts, the decorations & my family I am ready to get back to normal. So January 1 has always been the day to take down the tree & decorations, to clean out the fridge & vacuum up pine needles. Getting my house back in order is exciting, cleaning closets & restocking the pantry makes me happy (not George Clooney just phoned me happy, but happy none the less) & with things back in order I can start moving forward. A new year holds as much potential as a new box of 64 Crayola crayons! Now I have time for all the new things coming over the horizon. I have started a list "100 THINGS TO DO IN 2013!" I am up to about 40 so far, with big hairy & scary (i.e. exciting!) things related to business & smaller mundane things like get the console fixed on my truck, oh and to wear more hats, I also have travel plans (see grandbabies and go to the beach).
So what's on the horizon for you? Do you have any big plans? How about the small things that always seem to get pushed aside? Try making your own list. "100 THINGS TO DO IN 2013!" Then post that list on the fridge or in your office and at the end of the year look back at all you have accomplished! When you write your list blog about it, post your list here as a comment or on your own blog (be sure to link to me so I can read your list) & let's compare them and then encourage each other (I'll show you mine if you show me yours). Remember your list isn't a new year's resolution and there's no judgment if you don't complete everything, it's just oodles of fun and sometimes it's needed to stay on track with your goals and plans.
For the "to do list" I use click HERE, it's awesome and part of a cool "have your best your best year ever" workbook.

Crane or Crow Pose
or 'whats in a name and does it really matter when you've scraped your nose on the mat?'
Kakasana (crow pose) and Bakasana (crane pose)
2 variations on the same theme, that theme being "Let's try an arm balance and lets try not to break our necks". Now as far as arm balances go, crow is relatively easy. I mean it's not scorpion right?
Mr. Iyengar in Scorpion pose
So basically the difference between the 2 poses is with the arms, in 'crow' the arms are bent so the knees can rest just above the triceps and in 'crane' the arms are straight so the core has to do all the work, no resting on the elbows here. To learn the basics of the pose start in a squat (malasana pose) with the feet as close together as you can and knees wider than your hips, place your hands on the floor about 6 -8 inches in front of you, place the knees as high on the arms as possible and hug the inner thighs close to the body to activate more core strength.
Begin to shift your weight back and forth on your toes to get the feel for your core engagement. Let your gaze be more forward than down, in other words if your hands are at 10 and 2 (like on a steering wheel) then your gaze are at 12. Notice the lifting of the pelvic floor (mula bandha) and then the lifting of the belly (uddiyana bandha) drawing the belly button into the back, then float the heart center forward, pull your ears back to keep the eyes lifted. If you tuck your chin and drop your head you will almost certainly fall on your noggin' or your nose. Now try lifting one foot at a time by pointing your toes back, rather than just lifting the heel up. Then try pointing both toes back to take your body up in flight.
Once you have these steps down, you can work on flattening your back, lifting your chest up, and keeping your gaze focused ahead rather than down. And then you can try doing the 'crane' version with straight arms.
Remember that even though you're close to the ground that the energy in the body is lifting up and to create lift you need to press down, moving in opposition helps to create strength. Press the hands down to engage hasta (hand) bandha, this gives you more lift up through the belly and shoulders. The pointing of the toes (instead of just lifting the heels) engages padha (foot) bandha. Notice the opposition here as well, reaching back through the toes & out through the crown of the head, while drawing in at your center, reinforces that strength and stability. And to be honest it doesn't hurt (as much) to have pillows in front of you for when you fall… and you will, everyone does when learning to fly. And while we don't have fairy dust to help us fly like Peter Pan, it does help to keep happy thoughts and not get frustrated.
Its fun! Give it a try. Let me know how you do.
Yep that's me, in blue jeans and boots Doing 'Crow in the snow' October 2011 at Clingman's Dome, near Gatlinburgh TN

The 2018 Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) Asia Regional Nodes Meeting was held in Kathmandu, Nepal, from 17 to 18 September 2018 to facilitate effective planning and implementation of biodiversity data publishing and use in Asia. Speaking at a high-level session at the meeting, Honourable Minister Shakti Bahadur Basnet, Ministry of Forests and Environment, Government of Nepal, emphasized, "Easy availability of biodiversity data enables informed decision and policy making to halt rapid loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services." He reiterated the role of biodiversity data sharing and utilization in solving complicated biodiversity conservation and management issues.
GBIF is an intergovernmental initiative with a global network in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, and Oceania. GBIF organizes regional meetings annually or biannually to update members, address issues and set regional priorities for biodiversity data sharing and utilization. The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), an associate member of GBIF since 2009, shares the common agenda of generation, management, and dissemination of data with open-access option. ICIMOD has been proactive in contributing to the global agenda of data and information exchange, including biodiversity-related, socioeconomic, geospatial, and multi-thematic data at various scales.
Against this backdrop, the 2018 GBIF Asia Regional Nodes Meeting was organized by the GBIF Secretariat, ICIMOD, and the Ministry of Forests and Environment in Kathmandu. The purpose of the meeting was to update members and share the actions undertaken by node agencies in terms of biodiversity data publishing and use, and develop shared strategies and recommendations for enhancing and sustaining biodiversity data sharing and use in the region. The meeting was attended by 20 participants, including node managers and invited observers from nine countries from the Asia-Pacific region – Bhutan, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Nepal, Mongolia, Taiwan, and Vietnam – as well as Denmark.
During the meeting, Tim Hirsh, Deputy Director of the GBIF Secretariat, pointed out data gaps that exist in the Asia-Pacific region: "The Asia-Pacific region is particularly rich in biodiversity, but it is identified as one of the data-deficit areas in the world. Thus, more organizations and governments from this region are encouraged to collaborate to address the common issues of data generation, sharing, and utilization for biodiversity conservation."
Eklabya Sharma, Deputy Director General, ICIMOD, highlighted the Centre's contribution to generating and sharing data in the region. "High-quality data generation and dissemination is one of ICIMOD's mandates. The Centre is committed to providing quality data from the region to interested researchers, decision makers, and the general public through the Regional Database System. We are fully focused on enriching the GBIF database by linking it to this system."
As a part of the meeting, the participants also visited the National Herbarium and Plant Laboratories, National Botanical Garden, ICIMOD Knowledge Park, and Patan Durbar Square (a World Heritage Site) in Kathmandu. The event was supported by GBIF and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA).

Lexi Olian, CFP®

I'm continually fascinated by the way money shapes every aspect of our lives yet it's such a difficult topic to discuss, even with our close friends, family members and relatives. At The Humphreys Group, our mission is to change that mindset, dispel our clients' fears and help them feel more confident and secure about their financial future.
In particular, I work closely with women investors and strive to demystify their finances and help them solve problems to achieve their goals. I often find that my clients are engaged, self-reflective and interested in making choices for themselves, especially when it comes to both financial and retirement planning. Money can have a critical impact a woman's security, self-worth and independence, so I focus on helping my clients understand their choices and frame their financial plan around their values and priorities. For me, it's important to show people that money is a tool they can learn to manage, so I provide my clients with clear, impactful information they can use to facilitate their financial decisions.
In my opinion, financial planning shouldn't be complicated. I'm committed to building real, long-term relationships with my clients, and my top priority is to make recommendations based on what matters most to their lives. I'm a Certified Financial Planner™ professional and hold a Master of Nonprofit Administration (M.N.A.) degree from the University of San Francisco, as well as a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in International Agricultural Development from the University of California–Davis.

Why failure in marriages has become so common? Lack of knowledge, prepardness.
Failure in marriage is for the same reasons of failure in anything. Lack of knowledge and preparedness. You might think we would have full knowledge based on our parents example or lack thereof, causing us to seek out and prepare ourselves. Not the case often, is it?
As a human enters their adolescent stage of development, we all know and have experienced the distraction created by the chemical changes in our bodies and minds. We make a significant amount of decisions on base instinct during this time and have little, or not strong enough, guidance within ourselves or from others to overcome what is leading up to and often includes life-long choices.
Once we begin to "calm," somewhat, as things biologically level out (hopefully), though this can and does take additional years for many, we are still not knowledgeable and prepared to meet the expectations of our society and/or culture. Whether in personal or professional life. Leaving us caught between making decisions based on recent instinctual experiences and what we need to know to significantly impact a portion or the span of our further existence.
Past generations, majorly, have denied their individuality, in favor of meeting the expectation of society/culture/family/spouse. This is safe, especially without knowledge for what else could be achieved or evolved into. I do not mean this generally, as there are obvious exceptions, though reportedly rarer than the norm.
As humans have evolved in recent generations as more capable, knowledgeable and experienced individuals, those "striking this iron" earlier are waiting to "pair up" later in life. Unfortunately, there are still entirely too many individuals unguided, lacking knowledge and preparedness, who would benefit from being taught to know their selves better in mind and body from early adolescence on.
I was married at nineteen. 6.5 years later and two children later, our marriage failed as we grew as individuals and apart, exactly for the reasons I listed above.
After our children were grown and on their own, I remarried and am not dealing with the same lack of clarity, my first wife and I experienced. My son and daughter, ages 28 and 25 respectfully are in no hurry to marry, as they realize and have learned, they tell me, from my guidance, also based on what I have learned and mentioned above.

Now, working with chemists at the Feinstein Institute, Dr. Diamond may realize her dream to block lupus auto-antibody activity.
The team of investigators has developed and tested a unique small molecule that sits at the door of the auto-antibody and stops it from cross-reacting with a major excitatory neuron in the brain. The hope is that it can protect neurons and kidney cells that are most vulnerable to the anti-DNA antibodies.
In a paper published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Ona Bloom, PhD, and others at the Feinstein, led by Dr. Diamond and Yousef Al-Abed, PhD, head of the Feinstein's Laboratory of Medicinal Chemistry, tested the molecule to see whether it blocks the disease-causing activity of anti-DNA antibodies. After they tested it in a laboratory model of lupus, they studied its activity in serum taken from lupus patients.
"This is very exciting," said Dr. Diamond. "There are no therapies that are based on blocking this antibody from damaging target organs."
What does it take to build a molecule from the ground up? Dr. Al-Abed said that the antibody detected in lupus patients was known to recognize a 5-amino acid peptide that is part of the NMDA glutamate receptor. NMDA is a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the body. Dr. Al-Abed and his team studied the structure of the peptide and began building a drug piece by molecular piece until they came up with a promising candidate they called FISLE-412.
"The surprise was that we were able to create a small molecule that binds to the site on the antibody that prevents it from becoming active," said Dr. Al-Abed. "This is very early in the development of this compound but right now it is showing us that as a proof of concept, it works. We can block the auto-antibody and maybe someday we will be able to develop and test it as a treatment for lupus patients. It is an attractive approach."
Dr. Diamond said the next step is to test it in a larger number of laboratory models and then to design clinical studies with patients. The Feinstein Institute has a large lupus research initiative with scientists from all fields homing in on this autoimmune disease. The Feinstein also supports four clinics for lupus patients on Long Island, Queens and Manhattan.
About The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research Headquartered in Manhasset, NY, The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research is home to international scientific leaders in Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, psychiatric disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, sepsis, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, human genetics, leukemia, lymphoma, neuroimmunology, and medicinal chemistry.

text: Individual health insurance exchanges: What we know, what we don't know, and looking ahead to 2015 Print Connect Email Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google+ By Catherine M. Murphy-Barron, Hans K. Leida, Victoria Boyarsky | 16 December 2013 The passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was a major moment for the health insurance industry. It aimed to create mechanisms for purchasing insurance, add vast populations to the ranks of the insured, and institute complex new regulatory layers. Insurers in the individual market faced a heady mix of opportunity and risk as they sallied forth toward participation in state and federal health exchanges. With the ACA in motion and exchanges open for business, many insurers are eager for the day when they can base their rates on hard data rather than abstractions. It is possible to gain insights from existing data such as insurer participation, participant enrollment levels, and limited claims data. At the same time, it is important to recognize that even 2015 (or 2016, given the recent announcements delaying portions of the law) will still be early days for the exchanges, and it will be several years before insurers have the claim data they are accustomed to.

We're just going to come out and say it - pre-2010 we considered Flo Rida to be one of those rappers whose career consists of filling the gaps between annoyingly catchy hooks that are sung by someone else. So, as you can imagine, hearing him (almost) solo on 'Club Can't Handle Me' earlier this year not only left us pleasantly surprised, but increased our interest in Mr Tramar Dillard - yup, that's right! - at least tenfold.
In truth, this follow-up isn't quite as instant, nor is it as lyrically ear-snagging, but it's nice to see him having another crack at this singing malarkey - even if the subject matter remains squarely in booty-boppin' territory. What's more, the electro-trance backdrop is so last summer, but it was worth bringing back for those "Mmm Da-Da"s alone - we'll warn you now, one listen too many and they won't leave your head for bloody hours.

Many couples come requesting communications tools. I hear things like he doesn't listen, she doesn't understand me, we never have a positive conversation or nothing gets resolved. I have developed some very unique tools to teach couples to interact o that there is depth and understanding when communicating.
Communications Workshops
We all struggle with stress or anxiety at times in our life or have loved ones who have. There are new tools and strategies available now, that minimize the impact of the stress and anxiety on our wellbeing. This is not a therapeutic workshop but is informative and educational so that anyone can benefit. It doesn't invite personal participation but does offer some amazing, powerful new knowledge and tools that will serve you for the rest of your life or allow you to help others when the need arises.

How would you compare this to CGI/FastCGI? Also, you've got a name collision with the Haskell "stack" tool for dependency management.
I suppose this could be considered a modern CGI, but I never really had that in mind with the design. The interesting parts happen when you start developing better contracts between the HTTP APIs and the Process APIs. This can solve a lot of the issues that CGI/FastCGI has.

A paralegal and her husband were sentenced for stealing more than $900,000 from a Lynbrook construction firm, officials said Thursday.
Linda Minervini and her husband Thomas Cacaci Jr. bought a Las Vegas timeshare with the stolen money, according to Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas. The pair had pleaded guilty to second-degree grand larceny in June.
Minervini was sentenced to two to six years in prison and ordered to pay $456,617 in restitution. Cacaci, who was sentenced in August, was ordered to pay $456,657 in restitution, and already paid $71,000, authorities said.
"This sentence holds accountable thieves who used a Nassau construction company's bank account as a personal slush fund to support their extravagant lifestyle," Singas said in a statement.
While employed at the Lynbrook construction firm, Minervini was authorized to settle liability construction claims under $10,000 and obtained general releases of liability from the claimants involved and sent them their settlement checks, authorities said.
But between October 2009 and November 2015, Minervini embezzled $913,315 from the company by creating checks to pay non-existent claims, authorities said. The checks were then signed by the victim, who did not know they were fraudulent and altered by adding other payees to them without the knowledge or consent of her employer.
Initally, many of the checks were made out to Cacaci, who then assisted in depositing them into the account of New York Emergency & First Response Inc., a corporation that he and Minervini formed in 2010, the DA's office said.
An office manager discovered the scheme in November 2015, realizing that the quantity of checks generated for these settlements was disproportionately greater than the amount of discussion taking place within the company, according to the DA. Minervini was then fired.
The couple had moved from Queens to Las Vegas in May 2016. The pair also spent the money on expenses for Cacaci's parents' Las Vegas home, furnishings, autos, legal fees, airline tickets, hotel bills and other expenses.
They were arrested in December 2016.

The Northern Territory has a long and continuous history of gold mining, from three main goldfields – Pine Creek, Tennant Creek and the Tanami. Total gold production to June 2015 in the Northern Territory is estimated to have been 521 tonnes, or 18.3 million ounces. Gold production in 2014/15 was 14.57 tonnes, or 514,000 ounces, with most gold produced from two underground mines: Newmont's Tanami operations (Callie mine) and Newmarket Gold's Pine Creek operations (Cosmo Deeps mine). A third mine, ABM Resources' Old Pirate open cut mine in the Tanami Region, commenced operation in 2015 and ceased in 2016 after producing 29,376 ounces.
Gold continues to be one of the leading commodities for both exploration and mining in the NT. Gold mineralisation is present in a number of deposit styles including orogenic Au (quartz veins), intrusion-related Au, iron oxide Au±Cu, Homestake-style Au (veins in iron-rich metasediments), and unconformity-related U-Au. Most of these deposits are concentrated into three Palaeoproterozoic geological provinces; Pine Creek Orogen, Tanami Region and the Warramunga Province. Quartz vein (orogenic-style) gold deposits are most common in the Pine Creek Orogen and Tanami Region. Ironstone-hosted Au±Cu style deposits are dominant in the Tennant Creek field in the Warramunga Province. Significant undeveloped gold resources occur in all three provinces.
The Callie gold mine, operated by Newmont Mining Corporation was discovered in 1991 and mining commenced in 1995. Mineralisation at Callie consists of high-grade Au-quartz veins occur in folded Palaeoproterozoic carbonaceous siltstone. As of 31 December 2014, Ore Reserves at Newmont's Tanami operations were 17.7 Mt at 5.80 g/t Au containing 3.01 Moz of gold, with a further 2.33 Moz in additional resources. In October 2015 Newmont announced plans for an expansion of their Tanami operation by building a second decline and increasing plant capacity to increase production to 425,000-475,000 oz per annum. Also in the Tanami Region, Northern Star Ltd have farmed into Tanami Gold's Central Tanami project, which has a total resource of 25.5 Mt at 3.2 g/t Au, for 2.63 Moz Au. The flagship Groundrush deposit, which is hosted within a thick fractionated dolerite unit and a secondary discrete high-grade quartz vein and has a resource of 6.72 Mt at 4.8 g/t Au.
Newmarket Gold's Pine Creek operations in the Pine Creek Orogen include the Cosmo Deeps underground gold mine which at the end of 2014 had Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 4.53 Mt at 3.43 g/t Au and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.11 Mt at 2.9 g/t Au, for a total contained mineral resource of 0.61 Moz of gold. Numerous other orogenic gold deposits occur throughout the Pine Creek Orogen, including Mount Todd, Maud Creek and Toms Gully.
In the Tennant Creek region, over 5 Moz of gold has been historically produced from high-grade ironstone-hosted gold-copper deposits. A similar field occurs undercover in the Rover field, 70 km to the southwest, where Metals X Ltd have defined a gold and copper resource at the Rover 1 deposit.
The Arunta Region hosts a number of significant auriferous quartz vein prospects and potential for iron oxide (Au-Cu), intrusion related polymetallic (gold-bearing) veins and gold skarns. The Murphy Province has potential for orogenic- and intrusion-related auriferous quartz veins and unconformity-related U-Au (±PGE).

After a 10-year absence, country singer Garth Brooks will finally play a show in Kansas City, and this time he's bringing a special guest.
On May 6, the Garth Brooks World Tour will make a stop at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO. Brooks and his wife, fellow country star Trisha Yearwood will perform together, and tickets will go on sale at the end of this month.
MUST-SEE: Willie Nelson Cancels Shows Due to 'Illness'
It was 2007 the last time Garth Brooks performed in KC. He sold more than 160,000 tickets in less than two hours and turned what was supposed to be a one-show production into nine. This time around there's no telling how fast the show will sell out.
This piece of news has been welcomed by Kansans, who are already begging Brooks for more concert dates.
@garthbrooks Please do more shows in KC!! My sons 8th grade graduation is May 6 and I want to take he and my daughter so bad!! #garthinkc— Joe Hilty (@JoeHilty) March 22, 2017
Hey #TeamGarth, it's been 10 years since Mom @KatMcMahon11 and I saw @garthbrooks in KC. To see #GarthinKC again with "Mom"...priceless! https://t.co/TSVmUGkRtb— Zach Zaborny (@ZachZaborny) March 22, 2017
No word yet from Brooks on additional Kansas City shows, but if history really does repeat itself, a few extra performances might become a reality.
The Garth Brooks World Tour with Trisha Yearwood started in 2014, and it's currently on its seventh leg. The husband and wife duo have performed over 330 shows! Last October, Brooks released his single "Baby, Let's Lay Down and Dance," the first track from his latest album, Gunslinger, which dropped in November. Talk about a busy few months!
In February, the two honored a cancer survivor at one of their shows, so there's no telling what to expect at the Kansas City stops. Either way, those who attend are in for a treat!

My first Me, Myself and I Linky Party! Click on the button at the end of this post to join me.
1. When you're feeling down, what do you do to pick yourself up?
I knit! You can always tell when the anxiety levels are up based on the new creations that are being made. It helps me to analyze my situation and decide what the best choice is. I think it is the repetitive nature of knitting that helps me. When I need to get out of a weird mood I take on a new craft or I bake. Both allow me to feel accomplished and I love being able to see the fruits of my labor.
2. If you had to live in a different time period which would you prefer?
I would live in the 1950s (and hoard my clothes in a secret place with a note that shows my grandchildren where to find all of the goodies). I LOVE THE CLOTHES! My personality may have been frowned upon =P
3. What is the most creative Halloween costume you've ever worn?
Last year B and I were Malice and Wonderland and The Mad Hatter (and our pup was the Whitish Rabbit). We spent at least a month perfecting these costumes. A lot of the details were created from clay by B.
4. Five weird things about you we wouldn't know without being told?
1. I started going to college full time when I was 15 (and got my degree at 17 before I graduated high school)
2. I don't watch TV, I would get way to distracted to pay attention to plots.
3. As I sit here blogging, trying to settle some contractions, B is preparing me a steak dinner with garlic potatoes. I love him.
4. I can't wait until BraggAbout Creations is in a place where we can start making donations to various things we care about. Currently I would really love to help people learn about and use cloth diapers.
5. I balance my job (being surrounded by engineers) by being a pinup/vintage model
5. What would you tell your 16-year-old self?
Stop working so hard every once in a while and go to a party!

Studies have shown that about 75 percent of Americans think they eat healthy on a daily basis.
But how can that be when more than 35 percent of Americans are obese and about 90 percent of Americans don't eat enough fruits and vegetables?
If you're truly committed to eating healthy, you need to do more than just talk about it. You need to put together a healthy grocery list each and every time you go to the store–and then stick to it!
When you purchase the right kinds of foods, you'll put yourself in a much better position to eat healthy at home. You'll make yourself a healthier person over time, shed pounds, and reduce the risk of encountering certain diseases later on in life.
Check out a few tips that will help you create a healthy grocery list in a matter of just a few minutes below.
Choose Whole Wheat Bread Over Other Options
There's a good chance that you incorporate bread into at least one or two meals every day. You might have toast along with your breakfast, or you might have a sandwich for lunch.
If you consume a lot of bread, make sure you eat whole wheat bread as opposed to white bread or any of your other options. A slice of whole wheat bread typically contains less than 100 calories and is jampacked with plenty of fiber.
Opt for Whole Wheat Pasta and Brown Rice, Too
Do you eat a lot of pasta and rice as part of your dinner meals every week? It's a good idea to put the regular pasta and white rice down and go with whole wheat pasta and brown rice instead.
Just like with whole wheat bread, these options will deliver fewer calories to you along with a healthy helping of fiber.
Add Skinless Chicken or Turkey Breasts to Your Cart Over Red Meat
There are some people who love red meat too much to cut it out of their diets completely. If you're one of those people, only buy lean cuts of red meat that don't have a lot of marbling.
And if possible, skip the red meat altogether and go with skinless chicken or turkey breasts instead. They don't have as much fat in them as red meat and will prove to be healthier for you.
You should also choose to go with ground chicken or ground turkey over ground beef when you can. Although the occasional red meat won't affect you too much, steer clear of making it a staple of your diet.
Look for Sugar-Free Condiments and Sauces
You might not necessarily associate condiments and sauces with sugar. But you'll be surprised at what you find if you check the nutritional labels for them.
Most condiments and sauces have a large amount of sugar in them. They're also usually very high in sodium.
Check for sugar-free versions of your favorite condiments and sauces and try to stay away from condiments that have a lot of fat in them, like mayonnaise. You can replace mayonnaise with something like salsa and get all the taste you want without high-fat content.
Put the Sugary Cereals Down and Pick Up Something Healthier
Breakfast has long been regarded as the most important meal of the day. But it could actually be hurting you instead of helping you if you eat nothing but sugary cereals every morning.
Rather than putting a cereal with a cartoon character on the front of it on your grocery list, try to find cereals made with whole grains that have a lot of fiber in them. Or better yet, replace your morning bowl of cereal with oatmeal to get your days off to a great (and healthy!) start.
Stock Up on Low-Fat Milk, Low-Fat Cheeses, and Plain Yogurts
Many Americans do a lot of damage to themselves in the dairy section at the grocery store. They buy whole milk, cheeses with a lot of fat in them, and flavored yogurts that are loaded with sugar.
Try to get yourself out of the habit of buying these things by adding low-fat milk, low-fat cheeses, and plains yogurts to your healthy grocery list. Additionally, go with butter that doesn't have hydrogenated oils in it when you can.
Rethink the Snacks That End Up in Your Cabinets
In between meals, many Americans eat things like cookies, cakes, and other processed foods to hold them over. The simple act of snacking like this can ruin your entire attempt to eat healthier.
Instead of throwing junk food into your grocery cart, consider adding healthy snacks like:
- Whole-grain crackers
- Natural almonds, peanuts, cashews, walnuts, and other nuts
- Seeds, like sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and flaxseeds
- Hummus
- Pieces of dark chocolate
- And more
You don't need to stop snacking to eat healthier. You just need to pick out the right snacks so that you don't waste calories when you grab a snack for yourself.
Buy Fresh Fruits and Vegetables as Often as You Can
As we mentioned earlier, the average American isn't eating nearly enough fruits and vegetables every day. If you find that you don't incorporate fruits and vegetables into every meal, find a way to change that.
Learn about the fruits and vegetables that are grown locally in your area and add them to your healthy grocery list every week. Or look for the most colorful fruits and vegetables in your grocery store's produce section and buy them since they usually have the most nutrients in them.
Either way, just make sure you're purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables at least once or twice a week and eating them. It'll go a long way towards improving your overall health.
Read more here to see how to make nutrition a bigger priority in your life.
Bring a Healthy Grocery List With You to the Store Every Week
The simple act of sitting down and making a healthy grocery list will encourage you to eat healthier day in and day out. It'll force you to think about the ways you could be eating better.
It'll also motivate you to make the right choices at the grocery store. When you walk into the store armed with a list, it helps you to stay on track and pick out healthy foods instead of ones that'll do harm to your body.

Realize that you already bring meaning and value to life
I believe most women long to do something meaningful with their lives and to bring value into the lives of the people they love.
Far too often, wives fail to realize they already are doing this, or they are only one or two steps away from being able to do this regularly.
I also believe wives long to be valued for the meaning they bring to the world, and want to be loved for who we are.
You are not alone in this feeling.
Face to face meetings
Regular connections to generate forward movement
Breathe in some relief
Replace the pressures of perfectionism with the relief of being real
Members Only Chat
Real-time access to your group
Support For Every Step
Feedback, encouragement, and help when you need.
Groups begin twice a year
Mastermind groups are powerful small coaching groups.
Simple in concept – powerful in results
Join a group of 4-6 other women who are interested in confronting the desire of being perfect and learn that by being more real - you already are perfect.
Life as a Wife can be hard. A Mastermind makes it easierLet's Talk
Mastermind Groups run for 6 months, meeting every two weeks for two hours at a time. The meetings are spaced out to give breathing room, but not lose traction on our goals.
Perhaps you have some questions
Is a Wives Mastermind Group for me?
I recently saw a Pinterest post of a rock painted with the words "You are enough."
I am enough? Really?
Enough for what you ask?
- Enough to bring meaning and value to my world without being overwhelmed and out of balance?
- Enough to be valued and loved without being emptied of every last drop of self?
- What if I put down the superwoman façade?
- Will I still be enough?
- Will you?
This group is not for you if:
- You're not prepared to get involved and help the others
- You will lose interest half way through
- You want every session to be about you and don't really care if others in the group aren't successful
New groups begin twice per year. However, we'd rather cancel a new group than take people who we believe may not be totally committed, which is why this is an application process and not just taking the first people who contact us.
How exactly do we meet?
Our twice monthly, two hour coaching calls take place online via Zoom (a program similar to Skype, only better).
All that's necessary to meet is a webcam, decent to fast Internet, and a quiet place without distractions while we're on the calls together.
I've had Mastermind members be in their cars, the concourse of an airport, outside on their deck or backyard. Again, all you need is a place with good connectivity. Oh, and headphones to help keep things private if at all possible.
What if I miss a session?
You'll get the support of the group and we'll miss you. But lets be clear there are no refunds for missed sessions – that's to encourage you not to miss anything. Regular attendance is how you get the most benefit from the Mastermind.
We record all the sessions so you can catch up on what you missed listening to the audio file.
Also please add your goals for the next session in the private group on Facebook and give us a check in that way.
But of course I understand things come up and major life events happen. Just contact me and we can work round most things.
What if I change my mind?
I get it – this isn't cheap, it's a big time commitment and that can feel scary. That's why I ask everyone joining the group to make an application, talk to me and then have a long think to be sure this is truly a great fit.
Committing to the Mastermind is a big step – not just for you, but for your Mastermind group too. You're joining a team of people who'll miss you if you leave halfway through. Because, we truly are a team. We take time to learn about you so we can help with every step towards your goals. Sure, it's you putting in the work, but we invest our time and concern in you. We want – expect, even – to see you as deeply committed to your goals as we are. Only fair, really.
Together we'll plan, strategize and hold the space for everything you need to do to achieve your goals. Frankly, if you leave before the end of the program, it leaves a hole. We'll miss you. Actually, more than that – we'll have poured our love and time into helping you, and you're letting us down if you give up early. We might even feel just a little bit cheated. We love you, we believe in you and we want you to do well, not lie on the floor sobbing that it was all rather difficult. We'll miss your voice in the calls helping the group – your opinion matters to the group dynamic. We're a team and no Masterminder gets left behind. We want you all in. Just the same as we are.
So, be certain you want your goals. Be certain we can help you. Talk to me, to be sure this is the group for you and that I'm the right coach for you. So that's why, I have very simple Terms and Conditions. Here it is:
No refunds
Yes, that seems harsh. But Mastermind groups work because the team are committed to achieving their goals and we're all in it for the long haul. Be certain this is for you and we'll be here for you through hell or high water. If you're wishy washy – then think again. Commit. It's the only way to be sure of achieving your goals.
That said, obviously I understand life happens and big things can sometimes get in the way.
So if something major comes up in your life, talk to me and we can probably work round it. And by work round it, I mean, potentially slot you into the next Mastermind cycle, or perhaps slide you into another time slot if I can at all manage that. However, if it's simply you're not sure – or you've changed your mind – then this Mastermind isn't for you.
But if you are bold and brave and you really want to change things in your life, then step up and commit and this – right here, right now – is where you take the next big step to actually making that happen.

Advisory Portal and Guidebook for Businesses Expanding into ASEAN
May 21, 2015
United Overseas Bank, Rajah & Tann Asia and RSM Chio Lim Launch Advisory Portal and Guidebook for Businesses Expanding into ASEAN
United Overseas Bank, Rajah & Tann Asia and RSM Chio Lim launched the "Business in ASEAN" Advisory Portal and the "Doing Business in ASEAN" Guidebook at the inaugural ASEAN Conference 2015 on 20 May 2015.
With the theme of "Growth Opportunities in an Integrated ASEAN", the event was attended by over 600 business owners and senior executives from Singapore and the region. Guest-of-Honour, Mr Lim Hng Kiang, Minister for Trade and Industry, Singapore, delivered the keynote address.
The Minister said that AEC 2015 will bring significant opportunities and hence the government will be providing resources to help our companies become more ready for the AEC. MTI will continue to work with trade associations and chambers to find ways to help our companies take advantage of the benefits of the AEC.
The Minister recognised that ASEAN Conference 2015 is one such platform that will enable more of our companies to prepare for and capitalise on the AEC to expand and grow their businesses outside Singapore.
The "Business in ASEAN" Advisory Portal (www.BusinessInASEAN.com) addresses key concerns and provides insights into frequently asked questions on investment, legal, financial and tax matters. The "Doing Business in ASEAN" Guidebook serves as a useful reference for business owners and investors seeking to learn more about ASEAN and its member states, as well as about existing regional initiatives and those that are still under negotiations.
"The AEC will bring about greater integration of the region's economy as a single market and production base that offers exciting growth prospects. The Advisory Portal and Guidebook aim to empower businesses looking to use Singapore as investment and trade springboards to the region and help them land confidently and on a firm footing," said Mr Tay Woon Teck, Partner of RSM Chio Lim LLP.

WOW - Cape Wine is done and dusted!!
What an amazing week for South African wine as the WOSA team pulled out all the stops for an amazing introductory week for scores of foreign journalists and buyers. It is always hard to judge results - but I certainly think that it is going to pay off big time.
So now the hard work starts for producers in following up and chasing those contacts - making sure that the pile of bussiness card is not wasted.
Go for it!

Where is everybody?! Wouldn't it be great to have a debate going in the wake of Cape Wine? What did it do for your business and how can the show be finetuned in future to better serve SA's producers? C'mon! Opinions make the world go 'round!

Negotiators for the United Auto Workers said early Thursday that they agreed to a new contract with the Fiat Chrysler US auto company, thus averting a possible strike.
A previous tentative four-year deal was rejected on October 1 by 65 per cent of the 40,000 employees that the union represents at the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' US unit.
Details of the new deal — which needs to be ratified by local union leaders, and then the workers — have not been made public.
FCA is scheduled to spinoff luxury sports car maker Ferrari in an IPO in October. But the timing of a potential strike raised the specter of the IPO being delayed, undermining FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne's to see Ferrari valued at as much as $US11 billion.
The Ferrari IPO hasn't yet been priced. FCA want to spin off the brand to raise funds to retire debt and expand Marchionne's plans to expand FCA's product lineup globally.
The labour negotiations are followed closely because any UAW-Fiat Chrysler deal will serve as a template in upcoming talks between the union and General Motors and Ford, the other top US automakers.
"After a lengthy bargaining process, your UAW FCA National Bargaining Committee has secured significant gains in a proposed Tentative Agreement" with Fiat Chrysler, the UAW said on its Facebook site late Wednesday (around 0430 GMT Thursday).
UAW negotiators had set a midnight Wednesday deadline to reach an agreement. The union had threatened to strike if there was no deal.
The negotiators "unanimously voted to send the proposed Tentative Agreement to local union leaders who make up the union's UAW National Chrysler Council," the union's statement read.
The Council will meet in Detroit at 11 am Friday (1500 GMT) "to discuss and vote on the agreement."
If they approve the contract then it will be submitted to a full membership vote.
Fiat Chrysler's previous offer was rejected because workers wanted a large portion of the workforce hired over the past four years be included in the higher paying "first tier" of wages that workers hired before 2007 earn.
Roughly 43 per cent of the workforce now collects second-tier wages, and critics said that should be reduced to 25 per cent under a contract provision negotiated in 2011.
The second-tier workers were hired during the 2008-2009 recession, when FCA's predecessor, the Chrysler Group, went bankrupt and required a federal bailout to stay in business.
FCA was launched in 2014 after Italian automaker Fiat bought the third-largest US automaker.
The UAW has traditionally negotiated similar contracts with all three automakers to prevent their employers from suffering competitive disadvantages.

Declan has written about lighting in a lot of detail, he has shown he understands the work he has done, he goes on to give examples and pictures. He has explained the different roles and jobs within the lighting industry and how to get one of these jobs. Declan has evaluated his work, summarised the lesson and given his opinion on the lesson. He has explained the technical sides of lighting and the effects it has within genre and mood. He makes it very clear and easy to understand, this shows he know what he is doing and not struggling.
Month: October 2015
Week 4: Peer Review
I liked the examples Declan used for "Introduction to Mise-en-scene" and thought that he did well to explain them considering these were own choices and not talked about in class. The work on shutter speed I feel is very well done, as it accurately portrays the different shutter speeds by the 1/100 being blurred, but the 1/1000 being much more sharp. The work on Aperture could have been done a little better, as on the f/4.5 setting the subject isn't really out of focus where he should be, but apart from that his other examples are perfect.
Week 2: Peer Review
Declan did good work considering it was the first week of actual work. I felt there could have been more description on what a director does on the "What does Director do? and How do you become one?" work, however the rest of the piece had more than enough detail on how to become one and the different routes that could be taken to become a director. All pictures in "Introduction to framing" were the correct shot types and were taken and described well. I really liked the level of interpretation Declan went into on "Introduction to Semiolgy" and he used a lot of good technical language in it.
Week 4: Introduction to cameras: Unit 1
For this I am going to look into the different setting on a Camera such as Shutter speed and Apeture and say how they work.
Shutter speed
The shutter speed changes how fast the shutter is. The longer it takes for the shutter to close the more light comes in causing moving objects to look blurry, however if the shutter closes quickly the moving object will be clearer as it less time to move while taking the picture.
The aperture controls the amount of light the lens is taking in, it does this by changing the size of the lens.
f/4.5 This first picture uses depth of field were the subject is out of focus compared to the background.
f/12 This second images is where both the background and the subject are in equal focus.
f/22 The final picture is where the subject is in focus and the background isn't.
I learned about aperture and shutter speed in this lesson and produced pictures based off what I learned, I could use them again in my own product if I needed to.
Week 4: Introduction to mise-en-scene: unit 4
For this piece of work I am going to explain Mise-en-scene, how it works and how much someone can interpret from it.
Mise-en-scene is everything seen on-screen, the viewer translates this and creates ideas about the character or location. If the characters bedroom is really untidy, then you would think that the character is untidy as well. Another example is if the furniture is breaking then you would come to believe maybe the character can't afford to fix them.
These are the examples of things that would come under mise-en-scene:
- Costumes, hair, props
- Locations, props
- Body language: direction
- Technology – Lighting, Sound (diegetic)
- Placing of actors
This is the analysis of mise-en-scene in The Pursuit of Happiness. This scene uses mise-en-scene well it shows that the two characters are in a bad situation as they are in a bath room and they have things that look like personal belongings with them. You can tell that's were they are because of the floor tiling and a sink which is generally used in bathrooms. There is a lot in this seen which shows they are not homeless such as the adult is wearing a suit and also has one neatly hanging up. You can also tell there is a lot of love and compassion between the two character as the adult is holding the child and what looks like he's trying to block out the surrounding by covering up his ears.
This is an analysis of mise-en-scene in Tropic Thunder. This also uses strong mise-en-scene to show what environment the characters are in, their both wearing uniforms and one is helping the other who is injured, however the relationship between these two characters are unknown therefore he could instead be trying to stab him. We can see that something is going on between them as they are gripping each others hand tightly. The background puts them in context and tells us that their in a war as there is also a helicopter with a man hanging from it holding a gun, but there is no way of telling the relationship between him and the pilot or him and the two characters in the foreground..
I learned what mise-en-scene is, how it is used, why it is used and what effect it has on the audience. I also learned how everything on screen works together to create the story and if you take one bit out it may change the whole scene.
week 4: Introduction to lighting: unit 1
In this piece of work I worked in a group to produce a short meeting scene using still images, I am going to explain this and also look into the 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot.
Using a storyboard we planned a meeting then carried it out using a series of shot types such as, over the shoulder (OTS), close-ups, long shots and wide shots.
180° rule
We used the 180° rule which is where you don't cross the line where the characters are standing so that it seems that they are having a conversation. The picture to the above shows this in greater detail. You can switch which side you are on if you make it obvious with a pan or a different technique.
In our production above we did it against a wall so it was impossible to break the 180 degree rule so that it would always look consistent.
Shot reverse shot
Shot reverse shot is where you keep cutting between the two character with over the shoulder shots, this helps the audience understand that the two characters are having a conversation and who is talking at what time. This and the 180° rule work together to create a good dialog scene which is understandable and easy to follow for the audience. We used shot reverse shot in our production above which worked well.
I learned about a variety of techniques including Shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule and produced images based off them, I feel comfident that I could use them in my own projects in the future.
Week 4: Cameraman – How to become one and what do they do? Unit 3
In this blog post I am going to explain how someone would get into a Camera related job in the film industry, what they would need to know and what they would need to have. I am also going to explain all the different jobs that involve Camera work.
What do they do?:
There are many different kinds of jobs involved with cameras such as, camera assistant, camera operator, director of photography/cinematographer and focus puller.
The camera assistant:
These are people who help the camera operator with jobs and do what ever they are told, this tend to be preparing equipment and the setup before shoot so it ready for everyone else to go straight to shooting the scene. They don't use any of the equipment just set it up.
Camera operator:
This person personally operates the camera and has the camera assistant running around for him. he doesn't tend to set up him self but knows how to use the camera to get the best shots for the scene. They do a range of things from standing still for a still shot or running around with a steady cam on or using a dolly.
Director of photography/Cinematographer:
They are in charge of what shots are used in the scene they talk with the director to try to understand their vision and recreate it on-screen the best they can. They would also talk with the camera operator as he is the one actually carrying out the shot.
Focus puller:
When the shoot is happening there is no time for the camera operator to adjust the focus for the certain technique and that's where the focus puller comes in. While the camera operator is lining up shots a filming the scene the focus puller is adjusting the focus whenever it is needed. They don't have time to look through the view finder so they have to know specifics such as depending how far the subject is from the camera is how in/out of focus they are so they know where to adjust it so that it draws attention to the important character in the scene.
How to become one?:
You can get a degree in film production which you can then specify into what ever it is in the industry your interested in however in camera work for example you tend to start at camera assistant and move your way up. You can get into the business without a degree but you need a lot of luck. If you know someone in the industry you may be able to start out as a runner and progress from there, it may take longer but it is possible.
You have to develop your eyes to be able to identify the different techniques used in film, the best way of doing this is watching films with a better understanding of what is going on behind the scenes. Once you understand the ins and outs of the techniques then you can start using them yourself in one of the jobs above or in your own work.
I learned about the job of a focus puller and that the camera man doesn't always change the focus himself. I understand in more detail each induavidual job around the camera and what they involve.
