SEOUL -- Samsung Heavy Industries said Wednesday that it is bracing for a group operating loss of 240 billion won ($219 million) for the year through December 2018, hit by delays in structural reforms and the rise of Chinese rivals.
The South Korean shipbuilder noted that it disclosed the disappointing outlook along with current year projections to minimize the impact on the market, which had high expectations for improved earnings as the economy recovers. The company also revealed that it is considering issuing some 1.5 trillion won in new shares.
Samsung Heavy forecasts a 35% plunge in sales to 5.1 trillion won for next year. It received more than 7 trillion won in orders in 2017 but will only be able to book less than 3 trillion won of that in 2018.
Although next year's operating loss is expected to be 250 billion won less than the current year forecast, the company will remain in the red, as efforts to cut fixed costs stall. The company was able to shed just 700 jobs out of a planned 1,500 due to delays on a labor-management agreement.
Samsung Heavy stock was trading above 12,000 won Tuesday, but the bad news sent its price tumbling nearly 30% to a one-year low of 8,960 won.
South Korean media have called on the country's shipbuilders to review their strategies amid a growing Chinese presence in the high-end shipbuilding and offshore platform construction markets.

Biology Department
The department of Biology has existed at the University of Nebraska-Kearney since its inception as a State Normal School in 1905. The third floor of the Administration building contained four science laboratories, lecture rooms, and a storeroom. Miss Carrie Ludden was one of the first biology instructors at the Normal School. She began as an assistant in the department in October of 1906, but because of her ability she was placed in charge by 1912.
UNK Archives and Special Collections is proud to care take the materials of the Biology Department as well as collections from faculty members such as Dr. William Bruner and Dr. Joseph Springer.

One of the problems that we faced when working on Virtual PC was whether to create virtual machines which had NumLock on by default, or off by default. This may sound like a small issue – but people tend to have near religious preferences for the state of NumLock on their systems (e.g. I am a 'NumLock off' person – and my wife is a 'NumLock on' person. We both get frustrated when we try to use the other persons computer and find that the NumLock state is not what we expected).
With Virtual PC – the way we handle this is we check the state of the NumLock key when you power on a virtual machine for the first time ever – and set that as the default for the virtual machine. If you want to change this value for a given virtual machine – you should hit 'Del' to get into the virtual machine BIOS while booting, and then go to the 'Boot Settings Configuration' section of the 'Advanced' settings page.

Yesterday I wasn't feeling so great: allergies. I did get to the weight room, but I didn't tack on anything that would have required exertion (like elliptical or BodyRock).
I stuck to solid lifts: pushups / seated row (90lb), alternating sets of 10 reps x 3 times, then shoulder press (30lb) / lat pull down (90lb), alternating sets of 10 reps x 3 times. I did the ab chair of doom in between.
Today's a rest day. Which is good; I'm supposed to do a 75 min run tomorrow, and not only am I helping a friend paint in the morning but now I have to come in to work in the afternoon. Ugh.

When Ne-Yo announced that a new album, Non-Fiction, was on its way in May, anticipation grew. "Money Can't Buy" got people talking, but it was his collaboration with Juicy J for the hot track "She Knows" that really got people buzzing.

Ne-Yo fans can pre-order Non-Fiction on iTunes today!
Also, since announcing the album's official release date, Ne-Yo's been teasing fans with details about his latest project which includes features from Jeezy, ScHoolboy Q and others.

We Deal in Guns… and Facts Julias Gun Auction
By Joel Kolander
Julias, Maine Gun Auction
In the marketing and advertising world, there is a lot of pride at stake over being "the best." Truck manufacturers tout the "best selling" or "most reliable" vehicles. Cell phone companies laud themselves for "the best coverage" or the "best network." So perhaps it should come as no surprise that the gun auction business is not immune to such pageantry. However, it has recently come to our attention that certain competitors have made some written claims which may have been true in the past, but are not true today. We don't want to dwell on this too long, we have guns to sell after all, but we did want to address them as objectively as possible so that our consignors and collectors are properly informed. The information presented in this article has been collected from James D. Julia's website, Proxibid, published prices realized, a recent James D. Julia email sent on July 12, 2017, and our own sales results.
Claim #1
"As the #1 firearms auction house in the world for rare and expensive firearms…"
"James D. Julia is the leading auction house in the world for rare, high-end and expensive guns."
"…we sell the most rare and expensive guns."
Thankfully, no one is disputing that RIAC sells more guns and has more dollars in annual sales than any other auction house, but just so there is no confusion over the qualifier "…for rare and expensive firearms…" RIAC is #1 in that game as well, making the Julia claim dubious.
Take a look at the following graph that clearly shows RIAC leading the way in high-value firearm sales for the previous 12 months. Including a year's worth of sales for both auction houses is a fair and current set of data, and even omits some of RIAC's recent successes such as Teddy Roosevelt's hunting knife ($414,000 – not a firearm) and the world record Winchester ($1.2 Million – just outside of 12 months). Also, these amounts are not cherry-picked to make a comparison in RIAC's favor. Even lower amounts like $20,000, $10,000 or $7,5000 show that RIAC sells "the most rare and expensive guns," no matter how you define it.
If you prefer a longer sample size than 12 months, one can also analyze the entire industry over the last five years (since July 1, 2012) for firearms that realized $250K or above using the graph below. You will notice that of the 47 lots sold (or 48 if you include a single outlying auction house), which include pairs and single firearms, Rock Island Auction has sold 27 of them. Concentrated mostly at the top of the list, RIAC's items are more than 57% of the entire list, meaning that we not only sell the most, we sell more than our next five competitors combined. James D Julia can only claim 12.
In summary, RIAC is the undisputed leader of the firearms auction industry in:
- The number of firearms sold annually
- Dollar amount of annual sales since 2003
- High value collectible firearms
No matter how others try to claim the accolades, the data is clear and demonstrates Rock Island Auction Company's dominance in the auctioning of collector firearms.
Claim #2
"…While our competition focuses on volume over quality, we maintain our focus on the most rare and collectible firearms. We don't sell the most guns, we sell the most rare and expensive guns."
RIAC would like to emphasize that we have always been proud to sell firearms for everyone, and quite content to also sell lower priced items so shooters and collectors of all levels may participate.
This claim of not wanting to focus on volume at the expense of quality is an odd claim considering Julia's recently began offering a "Sporting & Collector session" to include items at a relatively lower price point ($2,000 – $8,000). It seems counter intuitive.
At James D. Julia, lower end items are regularly pushed to another "sister" auction house, so as to maintain the facade of selling only higher end firearms. Strangely, the results from said "sister" auction house are always good enough to include in the total sales numbers. Admittedly, the total is broken down later in their auction results for those who choose to read on, but the headlines with the joint totals can be downright misleading for those who do not investigate further.
Claim #3
"…we don't want to buy your guns. We want to consign them for auction so you make the most money. Unlike other firearms auction houses, we won't be competing with you during the auction."
This poorly worded assertion loosely implies that "other auction houses" would rather buy items than consign them in order to sell them at auction. While RIAC cannot speak for other auction houses, we can say with great certainty that we would rather consign your guns than buy them. Do we buy guns? Absolutely. Some people want or need their money for a variety of reasons, with expediency being the most frequently cited. Does this happen often? No, but we are happy to offer this service to our clients who prefer haste or the certainty of an agreed upon price. Additionally, buying collections or items is also a service offered by James D. Julia, making them participants in the very "competing" they claim to avoid. Why would they state that they don't?
For the record, RIAC would rather clients consign their items to auction.
Claim #4
"We offer the best terms in the industry, with seller's commission as low as 0% on high value items."
We don't doubt that our competitor occasionally offers 0% for select high value items, but a commission rate is not the sole measure of the "best terms."
For example, what happens if your items do not sell? Did James D. Julia do all that work for free or are they going to charge 10% of the reserve price, known as a "buy-in fee," to have your own item returned to you? Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon occurrence as in our competitor's last fall auction 31.5% of the lots did not sell during auction.
Some of those unsold items are indeed sold privately in the weeks after the auction when collectors are encouraged to "make an offer" on hundreds of unsold lots (this improves the percentage of unsold items to 24.8%). However, this puts the consignors in a terrible position. Do they accept a lower offer for their item that did not sell at auction or do they pay 10% to have their own item returned? Most folks, expecting to receive money and not send it, may feel strong pressure to accept an amount lower than their reserve, simply to avoid paying a fee. Unfortunately, a buy-in fee is only the tip of the iceberg of considerations to make when reviewing the consignment terms of an auction house.
In conclusion, RIAC President Kevin Hogan says it best,
"The firearms auction business today is as competitive as ever. Our goal at Rock Island Auction Company is not to sell the most guns or the most expensive guns. Our goals are to be the most dynamic, innovative and efficient outlet for marketing and selling your firearms at auction, protecting the 2nd Amendment through actions like the RIAC Freedom Challenge, and growing the collectible firearms community. The results of RIAC's vision and passion have resulted in 14 years as the undisputed #1 firearms auction house in the world. Our competitor focuses on blowing hot air, cut rate tactics, hidden fees, buy-in fees and fuzzy math. James D. Julia incorrectly claims to sell the "most expensive" firearms. Yet here is a company that adds their neighbor's auction sales results to their own. They count items which failed to sell during an auction which are later sold on a "make an offer list" as auction results. They blame the market condition for poor sales results and utilize predator "consignment" tactics such as buy in fees and insurance charges to line their pockets.
At RIAC we believe in actions, not words. Results, not excuses. We believe in facts, figures and data not just hot air and lip service."

Stay Funky, My Friends
Brettanomyces Bruxellensis!
No, that is not a spell that Harry Potter used to defeat Lord Voldemort, though we do think there is something magical going on in our Brett IPA. And we have Brettanomyces Bruxellensis to thank for that, one of a number of wild yeast strains in the Brettanomyces family and the star of our latest special release.The strains of Brett are obviously related just by the fact that they are all nearly impossible to spell, with siblings having names like Custersianus and Naardenensis. They would make for quite an interesting family sticker on the back of an SUV!
This marks the third release of what has turned out to be one of our most popular special release beers. We all know this is an IPA city, so we begin with our tried and true IPA, aged it in French oak chardonnay barrels, and spiked it with Brettanomyces. The basic recipe in the three versions of Brett IPA remains unchanged, though the natural tendency of the wild Brettanomyces yeast to remain, well, wild, means that there is batch variation. And this batch is unique in the fact that we used a mix of the French oak chardonnay barrels that were used in the very first Brett IPA as well as first-use barrels. The end result is a harmonious blend of citrus notes and a good dose of dry funk- just how we like it.
An extra note of interest: this is the first time our GAI bottling line was used to bottle the Brett IPA. The first two batches had to be bottled by hand, as the bottling line was not equipped to handle the 25.4 oz bottles used for the Brett IPA. We were able to procure parts to remedy this, put Packaging Manager Nate Jackson to work, and voila! 118 cases of Brett IPA are ready to hit the public.
The release of this beer coincides with the unveiling of our brewery expansion, which you may have spotted out of the corner of your eye or if you squinted really hard. The addition of sixteen 150 Bbl. fermenters, as well as a centrifuge and new canning line, should propel us from the 14,700 barrels we produced in 2015 to over 20,000 in 2016, and eventually 30,000+. We look forward to being able to grow and consistently provide a quality Marble product to our accounts across the state…and beyond!

The Plight Of Valentine Strasser
By Sorie Fofana.
Captain (Rtd.) Valentine E.M. Strasser shot to stardom on 29th April 1992, when he became the youngest Head of State in West Africa. As the coup leader, he became the Chairman of NPRC (National Provisional Ruling Council) and Head of State of the Republic of Sierra Leone in 1992.
The NPRC coup was widely acclaimed and endorsed by the International Community. It was a welcome relief for majority of the people of Sierra Leone.
Captain (Rtd.) Valentine Strasser remained as Head of State until 16th January, 1996 when he was overthrown in a palace coup by his second-in-command, Brig. (Rtd) Julius Maada Bio.
Captain (Rtd) Valentine Strasser was escorted in to exile in Guinea, Conakry by the new coup makers.
Exile In UK
Captain (Rtd) Valentine Strasser went into exile in the United Kingdom, after a brief stay in Guinea, Conakry.
In the UK, he enrolled as a student at the Warwick University in Conventry. He had a difficult life as a Law student in the UK. He had to drop out of the course because his presence at the University of Warwick in Conventry attracted a media circus on the campus.
On top of that, some Sierra Leonean students (especially the daughter of a former APC Minister, Benrina Kanu) persistently staged demonstrations against him on campus.
One of his lecturers even refused to allow him in his class because of allegations that, he had committed human rights abuses during his time as Head of State in Sierra Leone.
Capt. (Rtd) Valentine Strasser dropped out of the University of Warwick and sought solace in the official residence of the then Information Attache at the Sierra Leone High Commission in the UK, Mr. Gibril Samura.
By the way, Mr. Gibril Samura was appointed by Capt. Valentine Strasser as Information Attache at the Sierra Leone High Commission in London whilst he was Head of State. They had been childhood friends long before Capt. Strasser even thought of joining the Army.
At great risk to his job, Mr. Samura kept Capt. (Rtd) Valentine Strasser at his official residence at 29 The Avenue, Kilburn, London NW6 7NR for several years.
Mr. Samura is a very grateful man. Even after the SLPP came to power in 1996, Capt. Strasser was still staying at Gibril Samura's official residence at Kilburn.
Kabbah Weeps
On an official visit to London as Head of State, the late President Alhaji Dr. Ahmad Tejan Kabbah asked Gibril Samura (who was still Information Attache until 2002) to extend an invitation to Capt. Valentine Strasser to meet him (President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah) at the official residence of the Sierra Leone High Commissioner to the UK at 3 Ingram Avenue, Hampstead.
Gibril and Capt. Strasser arrived at the residence of the High Commissioner for a meeting with the then President, Ahmad Tejan Kabbah.
President Kabbah could not hide his emotions when he saw Capt. Strasser. He shed tears. Strasser was in a pitiful state.
As President, His Excellency Ahmad Tejan Kabbah asked the then Finance Minister, Dr. James Jonah (who was accompanying the President at the time) to look at ways and means to support Capt. Strasser.
When he was asked what he wanted the State to do for him, Capt. Strasser said he wanted the Government of Sierra Leone to give him a loan of US$10m (ten million United States dollars) for him to start an oil business.
It was at that point that, President Kabbah concluded that, Capt. Strasser really needed some psychiatric assistance.
He later told some people that, the country (Sierra Leone) could not afford to properly look after Capt. Strasser's pressing needs in London.
President Kabbah encouraged Capt. Strasser to return home and the State would make certain provisions for him in order to rehabilitate him. He said that, Capt. Strasser's condition at the time was a national scandal.
I succeeded Gibril Samura as Information Attache at the Sierra Leone High Commission in the UK in September 2002. During my brief interactions with him, I found him to be a very pleasant person.
I became the immediate occupant of 29 The Avenue Kilburn, London after Mr. Gibril Samura was recalled.
After Capt. Strasser left 29 The Avenue, he went and stayed with his girlfriend, Anne Metzger at Angel in North London. Before he returned home, he was sleeping rough in London.
Back Home
It is not difficult to tell the lifestyle of Capt. Strasser from the way he looks and from the way he dresses.
In the run-up to the 2012 elections, Capt. Strasser regained recognition when he was included in President Koroma's reelection campaign team. He was used by the APC to spite the then SLPP Presidential flag bearer, Brig. (Rtd) Julius Maada Bio.
When Ambassador Victor Foh was appointed Vice President (without Parliamentary approval), he took Captain Strasser on a tour of the South/Eastern Region. The VP was publicly criticized by the eldest son of the late James Bambay Kamara for parading with the man that ordered the brutal killing of his father. Alfred Bambay Kamara now works in the office of the Vice President.
Ambassador Victor Foh is a very tolerant man. He is not a vindictive man. Even the man who prosecuted him during his treason trial is now his best friend. They wine and dine together at his official residence on Spur Road in Freetown.
Visit To State House
According to the State House Communications Unit, President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma on Monday 31st July, 2017 publicly introduced Capt. (Rtd) Valentine Strasser to the visiting Ivorian President, Alassane Ouattara at State House as Sierra Leone's former Head of State.
Capt., (Rtd) Valentine Strasser's condition has deteriorated sharply. Why can't the State assist him? No matter what anybody says, Capt. Strasser served as Head of State for almost four uninterrupted years. Such a man deserves nothing other than a decent life.
President Koroma can use his executive powers (or supreme executive powers) to transform Capt. Strasser's pitiful state and give the man a befitting status as a former Head of State of this country.
The State can even provide a decent accommodation for the man, provide him with a chauffeur-driven vehicle and at least, a monthly living allowance for his upkeep.
To introduce the man in such a pitiful state to a visiting Head of State is nothing but ridiculous and embarrassing. It is a national disgrace!
Let President Koroma do the necessary thing to elevate Capt. Strasser's status in society. At least, the man deserves a comfortable lifestyle, which the State can easily afford to provide for him.
Capt. Strasser's current plight is pathetic!

Additional lessons beyond that of the normal term schedule may be provided upon request.
Missed Lessons
Students are allowed one make-up lesson per term, provided notification of the absence is given 24 hours in advance of the lesson day. Earlier notification is greatly appreciated. Missed lessons will be given on a make-up day later that term. A make-up lesson is a lesson that is taken on a day other than the regularly scheduled term dates and times. Scheduled lessons missed by the instructor will be made up.
The only exceptions to this policy would be due to sudden illness of the student or instructor, or hazardous weather-related issues. Notification of the absence still must be made, and lessons will be made up accordingly.
If the student requires music during the term, the student must order, pay for and pick the music up themselves. The instructor is happy to provide recommendations.
A minimum of one half hour per day, approximately five days per week is normally the shortest period of time sufficient for superior lesson preparation when taking a 30-minute lesson. Practice times are normally increased in relation to increased lesson times. (eg. 45 minutes of practice per day for a 45-minute lesson, etc.)

Toy Story
was the first completely computer-animated feature
film in history. The film was so successful that
an inevitable sequel followed 4 years later, and
surprisingly surpassed the outstanding quality
and popularity of the first film.
In the first Toy
Story we get introduced to Sheriff Woody,
Buzz Lightyear, Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, Rex,
Hamm and many other toys in the room of six-year-old
boy Andy.
The now classic story kicks off when Woody, favorite
and practically the leader among the toys, gets
introduced to the competition, Andy's latest birthday
present Buzz Lightyear. Buzz is a space cadet
toy who thinks he is a space ranger and not just
a toy in a kid's bedroom. And it gets worse for
Woody as Buzz also seems to become Andy's new
favorite and very popular among the other toys
as well. But when Woody is accused of knocking
Buzz out of the window, he must go into the real
world outside of Andy's safe bedroom and find
In Toy
Story 2, the adventure continues when Andy
goes off to summer camp and the toys are left
alone. All safe and sound until an obsessive toy
collector kidnaps Woody, who turns out to be a
rare and highly valuable collectable. It is now
up to Buzz Lightyear to redo Woody a favor, as
Woody saved Buzz in their first adventure, and
together with Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, Rex
and Hamm he accepts the almost impossible mission
to find and rescue Woody from winding up as a
museum piece somewhere in Japan.
That these films contain plenty
of references to Star
Wars and Indiana Jones is interesting as
Pixar's origins
lie within George Lucas' special-effects computer
group that was launched in 1979. But it would
take until 1986, when the computer graphics division
of Lucasfilm is
purchased by Steve Jobs and gets established as
an independent company, that the now legendary
name Pixar was
For 10 years, Pixar
produced numerous award winning 3D animated short
films and commercials. It was only in 1995 that
the public audience got introduced to Pixar
with its first feature animated film, Toy
If you are one of the few people
left out there who has never heard of Toy
Story and you are looking for a fun and
original cliffhanger adventure, look no further!
an assassination attempt on Buzz Lightyear's "life",
Woody sets a chain reaction of events in action
starting from pins falling down around Buzz to
a rolling globe. A great homage to Raiders'
opening scene with those poisonous arrows and
Getting closer
to Evil Emperor Zurg, Buzz has to survive one
last test; getting across a bridge made of floating
discs. This little exciting scene brings back
memories of the scene in Last
Crusade where Indy has to cross a floor
with loose tiles and the invisible bridge in order
to get to the Holy Grail.
Another great
homage to Raiders'
opening scene! Here Woody needs to get his arm
back from out of the toy collector's pocket. But
between Woody and his goal lie hundreds of crunchy
chips spread all over the floor. If Woody steps
on one chip he'll awaken the collector, which
can be compared to stepping on a tile linked to
a mechanism that shoots poisonous arrows at you.

These days, companies are getting creative in retaining their female staff as long as they can. Two big players in the Media and Tech industries even went the extremes by altering their company staff benefits policies to retain their female counterparts and that includes –
Covering the cost of Egg-freezing treatments for Women and their Partners
This initiative came about to show how valuable women are just like their male counterpart. We know that time is precious. Thus, these big companies are encouraging their staff to delay their family plans and continue to strive hard and advance their career plans. Some women wish to start a family but not at the point when their career has just taken off as taking time off to deliver and raise a child may put women at a disadvantage compare to their male counterparts when they return back to the workforce after having children. It may also affect the way they work having to juggle between career and family. This plan may work best for them without putting them at any disadvantage and yet give them a choice for family planning.
So this plan will attract and retain these career women who wants the best of both World!
So from January 2015 onwards, Apple will join Facebook, who has already started this initiative in January 2014, to cover the cost of this fertility plan for both full-time and part-time staff in the United States and the cost is estimated to be at $20,000 (storing and extraction procedures).
Do you think this plan will work for our local industry too? What's your take?

while I was looking for something else I found this:
> The Android 3.1 platform (also backported to Android 2.3.4) introduces Android Open Accessory support, which allows external USB hardware (an Android USB accessory) to interact with an Android-powered device in a special "accessory" mode. When an Android-powered powered device is in accessory mode, the connected accessory acts as the USB host (powers the bus and enumerates devices) and the Android-powered device acts as the USB device. Android USB accessories are specifically designed to attach to Android-powered devices and adhere to a simple protocol (Android accessory protocol) that allows them to detect Android-powered devices that support accessory mode. Accessories must also provide 500mA at 5V for charging power. Many previously released Android-powered devices are only capable of acting as a USB device and cannot initiate connections with external USB devices. Android Open Accessory support overcomes this limitation and allows you to build accessories that can inter
act with an assortment of Android-powered devices by allowing the accessory to initiate the connection.
> Note: Accessory mode is ultimately dependent on the device's hardware and not all devices will support accessory mode. Devices that support accessory mode can be filtered using a <uses-feature> element in your corresponding application's Android manifest. For more information, see the USB Accessory Developer Guide.
> The following list of distributers are currently producing Android Open Accessory compatible development boards:
> The Arduino Store provides the Arduino Mega ADK (in EU nations or non-EU nations) that is based on the ATmega2560 and supports the ADK firmware.
> DIY Drones provides an Arduino-compatible board geared towards RC (radio controlled) and UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) enthusiasts.
> mbed provides a microcontroller and a library to develop accessories that support the Android accessory protocol. For more information, see mbed with the Android ADK.
> Microchip provides a PIC based USB microcontroller board.
> Modern Device provides an Arduino-compatible board that supports the ADK firmware.
> RT Corp provides an Arduino-compatible board based on the Android ADK board design.

The Opiate of the Masses
I just began reading Selling Spirituality: The Silent Takeover of Religion (Carrette and King), an academic book that suggests that neoliberalism and its free market bent have co-opted spiritual symbols and rhetoric to increase profits.
I completely agree.
I worked for a company that really wanted me to drink the kool-aid. Though I worked terrible hours in a monotonous and physically demanding position, I was frequently asked why I wasn't happy. "Are you enjoying yourself?" "We can't read you very well." "You aren't happy enough to do customer service."
This policy of mandatory happiness was clearly supposed to distract me from the fact that I was working a dead end job with lousy hours that left me socially isolated. They wanted to convince me that they had everything I needed so that I would keep working and they could keep making money at my expense. I'd like to think it wasn't malicious, but it seems clear to me that executives employed a strategy of spiritualizing the workplace (in terms of community building, team values, and loyalty) with the specific intention of conning me into undervaluing myself. Anti-establishment as I am, I left after 5 months.
On the other side of the coin, advertisers are evolving their tactics to appeal to consumers' quests for meaning in an age increasingly devoid of meaning. Marketing has always been disturbing, but it's becoming more invasive. Everything is about branding, but not in terms of having a cute logo or a catchy slogan. Companies are trying to convince us that everything will be better if we buy into their brand. They promote new age religious practices alongside products. They convince us that what they're offering will help a cause, support a moral goal, or shed light on injustice.
Corporations want to convince us that our consumerist habits are the primary and best way to exercise our values.
But it's a lie! Changing the world, historically, has had very little to do with where we shopped or what brands we supported. I went to a talk given by the director of a local homeless resource center last night and I think he got to the heart of it. Being a catalyst for positive change in the world is, at its root, about seeing people, about acknowledging full humanity in ourselves and others. Then it's about becoming a partner in struggle with those we encounter. Buying a t-shirt can't do that. Wearing hippie clothes can't do that. Buying glasses can't do that.
I believe we have a responsibility to shop in ways that sustain and support people and planet. But we aren't consumers. We're human beings. Don't let the market dull your senses. Don't let the marketing blind you.
3 comments
I agree that our consumer habits cannot be the end-all be-all for how we help make the world a better place. However, I think it's completely valuable and effective as a method. Disadvantaged people around the world DO need fair jobs and economic opportunity, just like I do. It's an act of shared humanity to participate in a system that helps provide that. But I also agree that mindless consumerism is a dangerous habit—any purchase should be made with thought and consideration.ReplyDelete
What I've gathered from the book so far is that there's concern that people will think that meaning is ultimately found in consumerism or the free market or being an efficient worker. Of course our consumer habits round out an ethical lifestyle, but I fear that increasingly we see ourselves in light of what we can offer through our spending. That becomes problematic because it tends to glorify the material efforts of people who have a lot of money and can afford to continue a decadent lifestyle, albeit in a more "ethical" manner. I just read a home design feature in In Style that lauded the efforts of a model turned actress to make her home completely sustainable. And that is great! But she's still obsessed with objects and that's still unsustainable.ReplyDelete
I think I'm at a point in this journey where I feel like nothing I do will be good enough, nothing I do will offer an adequate alternative. But I'm sure things will continue to march toward more mindful production practices. Hopefully it won't stop before it really gets there.
[…] The Opiate of the Masses – Leah shares her thoughts on why ethical consumerism shouldn't be the only way we express our values and concern for people and the planet. Very thought-provoking! (Style Wise) […]ReplyDelete

Give your partner the ride of their life with this vibrating cock ring from Adrien Lastic!
Save 10% with Unlimited.Learn More
Give your partner the ride of their life with this vibrating cock ring from Adrien Lastic!
The stretchy ring strengthens your erection while specially designed clitoral stimulators enhance external arousal for an all encompassing climactic experience.
Replaceable batteries, easy to clean and highly resistant.
Celebrate intense, toe-curling climaxes as a duo with the joyous, pulsating toy we like to call Lingus.
What is a Lingus anyways? Weve defined a Lingus as an incredible, cooing companion for couples that hums endlessly on her sweet, sensitive spot as it rivets his steel-hardness for an enriching experience, all while leaving couples lingering for more.
This black-licorice-colored cockring is designed with duality in mind. Specifically shaped for his and her pleasure, Lingus will longingly and passionately lick her little, bud-shaped sensitivity while the solid, smooth cockring delivers ultimate support, providing a steadier, stronger shaft. The bendable, man-halo also restricts blood flow, helping couples enjoy a longer, more sensual session.
This vibrating playmates sleek, curved tongue pleases precisely toward her sweet spot, supplying sensational clitoral stimulation.
The soft, flexible ring easily stretches over most sizes and fits snuggly, yet comfortably for an epic, non-slip experience. Simply pull the elastic-like ring open and slide Lingus to the base of his firmness for extra erection support. Several rows of small, round beads are carefully sprawled across the textured base for extra enjoyment for her.
Lingus is completely covered in a silky, superior silicone that feels like a velvet kiss as it touches the skin. Press Linguss sides to activate slow, steady pulsations, and trigger tingling sensations so insatiable and tantalizing, thousands of tiny, round bumps will rise up on her skin.
Enjoy Lingus in a variety of positions. When using this vibrating cockring doggy style, simply spin it around, aiming its curvaceous, gyrating tongue toward her clitoris for maximum pleasure.

Electric vehicles, primary energy sources and CO2 emissions: Romanian case study
1 January 2013
Publication year: 2013
Source:Energy, Volume 49
Starting on the 24th of April, 2011, the Romanian government offered to subsidize all potential buyers of electric vehicles, both private and corporate, offering 25% off of the retail price up to 5000 euros with no pollution tax. The Romanian government encourages all governmental institutions to consider buying electric vehicles when deciding to change their existing vehicles stock. This decision is strictly related to the Romanian government's approval of a long-term Energy Strategy, building on the National Energy Strategy for the Medium Term. The government's strategy emphasizes increasing energy efficiency and boosting renewable energy use. The first electric vehicles distributed in the Romanian market are the Citroen-C-Zero, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, the Renault Kangoo Z.E. and the Renault Fluence Z.E. The energy consumption of these vehicles was analyzed, considering the CO 2 generation characteristics of a Romanian electric power plant.
► Tax and governmental support for electrical vehicles in Romania. ► Evaluate the CO 2 pollution of the electrical vehicles in Romania's case. ► Comprehensive understanding of the influence of primary energy source over the pollution of an electrical vehicle. ► Approach to decrees the pollution of the electrical vehicles.

|RecipeSource : Bread & Baked Goods Recipes : Breads : Very Easy Breadsticks
1 Loaf of Frozen Bread Dough Butter Garlic Powder Spaghetti Sauce (or something comparable) Parmesan Cheese First, you're going to need some frozen bread dough. You can pick up frozen bread dough in bags of five at the grocery store in the frozen section. Costs only a couple of bucks. Once you have the bread at home, take out one of the frozen loaves, and let it thaw. I recommend sprinkling flour on the frozen loaf, and then wrapping it up in Saran wrap to thaw. It will take about six hours or so for the bread to be thawed nicely. (The reason I recommend sprinkling the flour on the frozen loaf and wrapping it up in Saran wrap is that when the bread is thawing, it will get really sticky, thus making it difficult to peel off from the Saran wrap. The reason it is in Saran wrap is that also while it is thawing, it will get a skin, which would usually be the crust if you were making a regular loaf of bread.) Once you have the bread thawed, you should heat the oven to 375 degrees. While the oven is heating, take the bread out of the Saran wrap, sprinkle some more flour on it, and then flatten it. It works best with a roller, but using your hands will do. Once the bread is flattened, use a pizza cutter to slice the bread into strips. Then place the strips on a baking sheet. When the oven is ready to go, place the baking sheet with the bread slices into the oven. While the bread is cooking, melt some butter. The right amount usually seems to be about a tablespoon or two, but you'll just have to gauge it yourself through trial and error, to see how much is right for you. When the butter is melted, add some garlic powder to it (again, no set amount, just whatever suits you). Mix it together with a brush. Also, you should be heating up some spaghetti sauce if you want something to dip the bread sticks in. Now, to tell when the bread is done, periodically look into the oven to determine if the bread has turned light brown on top. It takes roughly ten minutes, but you'll have to experiment on just how *done* you like your sticks. I prefer them softer and chewier, as opposed to crispier, so I tend to take them out as soon as a little bit of brown appears. When the bread is done, take it out of the oven, and use the brush to soak the sticks with your butter/garlic combination. How much you brush on each stick is also a matter of taste. Once you have brushed the butter/garlic combo on it, sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese. Voila! There you go... awesome bread sticks, with not too much preparation time. It does take a little more time than if you were just to pop something from the store in the oven, BUT TRUST ME, these bread sticks are so awesome it will be well worth the effort!

Singapore to Explore the Application and Development of Space Based VHF Communications
July 13, 2017
GomSpace A/S together with The Civil
Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), Singapore
Technologies Electronics Limited (ST Electronics)
today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to
explore the application and deployment of
space-based Very High Frequency (VHF) communications
for air traffic management (ATM) in and around the
Singapore Flight Information Region (FIR). The
MOU was signed by Mr Kevin Shum, Director-General of
CAAS, Mr Tang Kum Chuen, President of Satellite
Systems Business, ST Electronics, and Mr Niels Buus,
CEO of GomSpace, on the third day of the World Civil
Aviation Chief Executives Programme (WCACEF) held at
the Singapore Aviation Academy.
Space-based VHF communications represents the next level of communications capability, and will complement Singapore's existing ground-based equipment. It is a concept where VHF communications equipment are mounted onto a constellation of low-earth-orbit satellites to enable clear, cost-effective and real-time communications between air traffic controllers and pilots anywhere.
The technology will improve safety and enable the
safe reduction in separation between aircraft in
airspace where ground-based VHF communications is
currently not available, increasing ATM capacity and
reducing delays for aircraft in turn.
This partnership brings together strong complementary capabilities. As the air navigation services provider for the Singapore FIR, CAAS has decades of experience managing air traffic flows. ST Electronics has more than 45 years of experience in the design, development and integration of advanced electronics and communications systems including real-time mission critical command and control, air traffic management and simulation systems. GomSpace is a leading designer, integrator and manufacturer of high-end nanosatellites for customers in the academic, government and commercial markets.
"CAAS is committed to continually investing in cutting edge and innovative solutions to ensure that we can safely support the growing air traffic in the region. With this collaboration, Singapore will be the first country in the world to move towards space-based VHF communications. This technology will enable CAAS to improve traffic throughput in the Singapore FIR, while enhancing safety and efficiency of ATM," said Mr Shum.
"This MOU marks a significant step in exploring the application of space-based technology to enable smart air traffic operations. We are delighted to partner CAAS and GomSpace on this exciting endeavour. We will leverage our extensive domain knowledge and in-depth engineering capabilities in satellite and communications system design, as well as complex system integration knowhow to research into the development of the spaced-based VHF communications system. ST Electronics is committed to the continued development of innovative and smart technology to enhance ATM and equip air traffic controllers with state-of-the-art communication service for safer and more efficient flight operations," said Mr Tang.
"We are very happy to partner with ST Electronics and CAAS to develop a new innovative high value service based on our unique capabilities to deliver professional nanosatellite solutions for radio applications. The activities under this MOU is a natural continuation of our pioneering work in space-based ATM as we first demonstrated in 2013 and will bring about significant new opportunities for Air Navigation Service Providers and airlines to increase safety and ATM capacity while reducing operations costs," said Mr Buus.

How To Salvage Old Porch Railing
A porch railing is the finishing touch on an exterior veranda. If you have an older house wth existing railing that needs to be rehabilitated, it is worth salvaging it for continued use.
Iron Porch Railing
One of the materials that is commonly used for porch railing is iron work. However, iron is prone to rusting, particularly in regions with high levels of humidity or moisture due to weather.
To recover iron porch railing, you will be working with caustic and toxic solvents, so wear protective clothing, and air mask and safety goggles.
You can salvage existing iron porch railing by first removing any existing paint with paint remover and a wire brush or steel pads. Once you have all of the paint removed, then carefully examine the iron work for rust or damage. Remove the rust with a rust removal solvent and a wire brush. Use metal putty to repair any damaged sections and let the putty dry. Then use a dremel or polishing tool to smooth out the surface of the repair. Place a new coat of paint on the iron work railing—usually 2 coats of paint are needed, so allow each coat to dry before applying the next layer.
Wood Porch Railing
Often wood railing is damaged and has shattered or splintered slats or rails. To salvage this type of porch rail you will need to not only remove existing paint, but you will also need to repair the wood.
Remove the railing sections from the porch for ease of use. Lay the sections across a set of sawhorses and begin sanding them, removing all of the existing paint. Wipe away and vacuum debris as it accumulates.
If there are damaged slats and sections of rail, remove them and replace with sound wood. If needed, use wood putty to strengthen weakened areas along the wood. Once the putty is dry, then use sand paper to smooth the repair.
With all of the paint removed, repairs made and the railing sanded smooth, apply primer to the rail sections. Make sure that you use the same kind of primer as paint—latex primer/latex paint or oil based primer/oil based paint. You will need to work away from the sun and in a windless but well ventilated area as you apply the primer and paint. Let the primer dry completely and then begin to paint the railing with a clean brush.
Paint the railing, starting with the slats. Apply evenly, so that the paint does not drip or clump. Once all of the slats are painted, paint the rails. If you have several sections of porch railing to restore, then paint each section with one coat of paint and the move on to the next. Once you have all of the sections painted, then return to the first section and begin applying the second layer of paint.
Once the paint has dried, then reattach the railing sections to the porch columns with finish nails.

Insights from our global team of experts in eMaterials value optimization
Over three million refugees entered the EU between 2012 and 2016, and thousands continue to arrive every day. According to the UN Refugee Agency, more people are displaced today than ever before in history—even more than during World War II.
This is an overwhelming problem to read about, but even more overwhelming to experience firsthand. While visiting Lesbos, Greece in 2015, Americans Zoë Pappis and Alexander Schultz witnessed the crisis for themselves—and decided they had to take action to help.
That action resulted in the Zoë band, which is hands down the most brilliant recycling-for-a-cause effort I've seen.
Zoë bands are fashionable bracelets (see photo) made by local Lesbos seamstresses from discarded refugee life jackets. Virtually all the proceeds go to local relief charities, thereby making a tangible positive difference in the lives of the refugees on Lesbos. Zoë and Alexander donate their time promoting, selling, and delivering the bands; here's a breakdown of the cost of a band, which starts at $30. About $7.50 of the cost of each band goes to covering logistics and providing employment for local seamstresses and other partners—creating much-needed income on an island that's been hit hard by both the Greek financial crisis and the influx of refugees. The remainder of the band's price goes to helping the refugees. And, of course, every Zoë band is made from the material of a discarded life vest—recycling nylon that would otherwise likely end up being trashed, an undesirable end for a material that's slow to decompose and releases toxic gasses when burned.
But there are additional benefits to the Zoë band: it's a reminder, and a conversation starter. Having one on your wrist connects you to the brave displaced people who risked everything for a better life, and when you get the inevitable question "what's up with the bracelet?" you're able to deepen that connection—you can engage in a dialog about the refugee crisis, and how just about anyone can help make the situation a tiny bit less tragic.
I ordered Zoë bands for my wife, my son, and myself earlier this year; we wear them daily and eagerly share their story with anyone who asks. We know the impact we might have is infinitesimally small compared to the magnitude of the crisis, but if each of us does one small thing to contribute to a solution, we can't help but create the main thing all refugees—really, all of us—seek: hope.
A couple practical notes on the bands:
Please join us by visiting www.getazoeband.com today to order your bracelet. And please spread the word by sharing this post!
Thank you for sharing this product and raising awareness of the plight of the many refugees who continue to search for safety! I will be sharing widely.reply

If you were wondering about the fate of Uber, take it from the president: It may just be the next American mega company.
In part one of his interview with Vox, Barack Obama was asked whether the government has a role in redistributing wealth.
The president replied that it does — and that it can do so in a way that doesn't curb what he apparently sees as America's most important innovators and most valuable companies.
"There's no evidence that would hurt the incentives of folks at Google or Microsoft or Uber not to invent what they invent or not to provide services they provide. It just means that instead of $20 billion, maybe they've got 18, right? But it does mean that Mom can go to work without worrying that her kid's not in a safe place."
Despite being just a few years old, Uber, the ride dispatching phone app, is now valued at over $41 billion, making it worth more than many large American public companies. It now operates in 250 cities worldwide.
We also know that many members of Congress use the service, which could presumably affect any federal legislation of services like Uber (although right now Uber's fights are almost entirely with local regulations).
The president may also have some sympathy for Uber drivers who've been complaining about recent price cuts.
His full argument to Klein was that large corporations like the ones he mentioned — although Uber is not yet public — face short-sighted pressures from investors that can end up putting pressure on wages and benefits that exacerbate inequality.
"Today what you have is quarterly earning reports, compensation levels for CEOs that are tied directly to those quarterly earnings," he said. "You've got international capital that is demanding maximizing short-term profits. And so what happens is that a lot of the distributional questions that used to be handled in the marketplace through decent wages or health care or defined benefit pension plans — those things all are eliminated. And the average employee, the average worker, doesn't feel any benefit."
So while Uber's economic footprint is now approaching that of America's best-known behemoths, it also has the same responsibilities.

Street girls photo is the favorite subjects of many Street photographers. Girls, women are beautiful at any time of the year always. Shooting on the street is you see and understand. Sometimes, walking around the city produces excellent shots. Generally, street photography or street photo lesson fun and akin to hunting. Do you go, look for parties and times-here it is the plot for the photo.
People on the street for a walk not linked with conditionalities, they just go, just talking and preoccupied with his thoughts. This is exactly the kind of street images look best.
Street photos of girls is a special photo. Men still even alone with themselves do not remove "social masks". Women on the street over raskrepoŝeny. This applies to all ages, but the youth is even more raskovana.
Street photography differs from staged exactly natural emotions. After all, on a photo shoot model performs what says the photographer. The photographer determines where to stand, how to look, how to smile. Even if the photographer says that need to be natural-this means that you must be a natural understanding of the photographer.
On the street the same photographer does not dictate, and observes and catches the moment. Order and good street photography that you do not know which frame you do today-maybe it will be something terrific, but may not be able to make a single picture.
If you go out into the street to make some pictures, then you should immediately be set up for a long walk. Not worth hurrying, you just need to walk and observe. Huge city will give you the plot. Not today, so the next day.
Present you a selection of photographs taken on the streets of Moscow. Photos accumulated over several years and stored in the archive. Posted in Instgramm or other social networks-here decided to share with visitors to my site.

Pope was elected on his 63rd birthday to lead the church during the war
|Pope Pius XII during his time
as nuncio of Bavaria
Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli was elected Pope and took the name of Pius XII on this day in 1939.
A pre-war critic of the Nazis, Pius XII expressed dismay at the invasion of Poland by Germany later that year.
But the Vatican remained officially neutral during the Second World War and the Pope was later criticised by some people for his perceived silence over the fate of the Jews.
Pope Pius was born Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Pacelli on this day in 1876 in Rome.
His family had a history of links with the papacy and he was educated at a school that had formerly been the Collegio Romano, a Jesuit College in Rome.
He went on to study Theology and became ordained as a priest.
He was appointed nuncio to Bavaria in 1917 and tried to convey the papal initiative to end the First World War to the German authorities without success.
After the war he worked to try to alleviate distress in Germany and to build diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the Soviet Union.
He was made a Cardinal priest in 1929 and elected Pope on 2 March, 1939, his 63rd birthday.
When war broke out again he had to follow the strict Vatican policy of neutrality. It is thought he had genuine affection for Germany but he did not like the criminal hands it had fallen into, and he feared Bolshevism.
He used the modern technology of radio to offer sympathy to the victims of war in his broadcasts and towards the end of the war he appealed to the Allies to be lenient.
His supporters say he had sympathy with the Jews and that he tried to help them along with prisoners of war and people who had gone missing during the conflict. But his critics argue that he was too weak and did little to challenge the Nazis.
Pope Pius XII died in 1958 at his residence in Castel Gandolfo to the south of Rome .
Travel tip:
After Pope Pius XII died in Castel Gandolfo he was brought back to Rome to lie in state surrounded by four Swiss Guards. He was then placed in a coffin and buried beneath St Peter's Basilica in a simple tomb in a small chapel. The Vatican Grottoes beneath the floor of St Peter's Basilica house the tombs of many dead Popes, including St Peter himself.

Castel Gandolfo, where the Pope has his summer residence, overlooks Lake Albano from its wonderful position in the hills south of Rome. The Pope spends every summer in the Apostolic Palace there. Although his villa lies within the town's boundaries, it is one of the properties of the Holy See. The palace is not under Italian jurisdiction and is policed by the Swiss Guard. The whole area is part of the regional park of Castelli Romani, which has many places of historic and artistic interest to visit.

On August 5, 1901:
Burt Hart punches umpire John Haskell.
Burt Hart and John Haskell share something in common — 1901 was their only season in the major leagues. I'm not sure why Haskell didn't umpire anymore after 1901, but MLB.com says that 1901 was his only season. However, we do know why Hart didn't last.
In his only season in Baltimore, Hart only played 58 games. He was a pretty good hitter with a .311/.383/.374, but he doesn't appear to have been a particularly good fielder. As for a minor-league career, he only spent 48 games in Wheeling, but he mashed there with a .364 batting average and 15 doubles. And honestly, at age 31, he probably wasn't going to play for too long in the major leagues anyway, but his uncontrolled rage would lead to a quicker ouster from baseball.
During a game on August 5th, 1901, Hart nailed a ball into the gap and raced around the bases to third, but when he got there, he was tagged out. Well, at least the umpire John Haskell believed he was out. Believing the opposite, Hart lost control and punched the umpire before he could be restrained. He would later be banned for life from the game.

2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
It is hard for Hyundai to ignore about all demand of 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. It was produced as the first attempt they could to make an SUV and it really worked well for them. It has been around the market for 17 years since its debut started in 2000. The new generation will be the strong rival for Ford Explorer, Kia Sorento, Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. Back in 2008, the car received Consumer Choice's award as the "Top Pick".
2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Redesign
2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Exterior
With all the camouflages, don't blame us if we have to say that it is quite hard to see the changes around it. But, the rear has most heavy camouflage which we believe that it will get biggest change with the greater length for 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. In addition, we can see the minor changes around and it can be revolutionary changes to provide with the side mirrors moved from the bottom of the A pillar to the doors. The grille is the same as the one you can find on 2018 Elantra GT with the cascade effect and the front lights are split into two. The top will be the daytime running lights and underneath them, there are conventional lamps added. About the FE Sport, it will get the same set of features as you can find in the common SUV. It will probably get redesigned L-pillar, different rear optics, redesigned front bumper and less length.
2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Interior
Right now, we cannot say many things when it is all about the new changes in the cabin of 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. It is because the cabin is still has not been captured by spy photographers. What we expect is that they will make it modern with the luxury touch and the well-equipped interior design based on latest technology. The company should also have big concern on the safety features too.
2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Engine
There is a big speculation that there will be new engines to provide. The same motor choice will be used for the Santa Fe and the Sport. It means that the new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe will carry over the naturally aspirated V6 engine and front-wheel drive setup as standard while the optional is all-wheel drive.
2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Release Date and Price
2019 Hyundai Santa Fe has been tested in Sweden on the public roads with heavy camouflage and it means that the release date may happen in the near future. What we can expect is that the debut will be started at 2018 New York Auto Show in April and then it will enter the dealership in August, we assume. Based on the official confirmation, they have nothing to announce but the current pricing is about $30,000 for the base model and it can be a little bit more than that for the new generation.

What to do when you are burning more calories than you really want to eat. Yeah, I know... 1st world problems.
Hey guys! I have had a few people remark about having problems getting enough calories down as they have increased their activity levels over the last few weeks.
Disclaimer for those of you that don't know me personally: I have some clients who have bumped workouts up by double with the addition of new classes to our schedule or drastically changed up their daily activity in the last few weeks.
Short and sweet: In the past you may have done a 30 to 50 minute workout. You logged your calories according to body weight and intensity and off you went with your day. Woohoo! A few hundred more calories to fuel your body with and you needed them. Those are the days when you want to eat within a close margin of your base and exercise calories back to strengthen your metabolism and fuel that awesome machine that carries you through every day.
Long and laborous: Now that you have multiple trainers and 23 classes on the PURENERGY schedule its like a calorie burning buffet every day. 30 minutes turns to 120 minutes or more. Suddenly you have a giant pile of calories and you aren't sure what to do with them.
There is a lot going on right now and benefits to both short and long workouts.
You need to keep a close grip on your GOALS. Are you training for a race, aiming to gain lean muscle or just enjoying powering through two solid hours of our crazy trainers pumping you up into an endorphin producing fat slaying frenzy?
This is the time when you have to pay close attention to your body, not the computer. There is something weird about endurance training that makes the normal calculations for food logging go all wacky. Our bodies become more efficient during the workouts and the physics of calories in, calories out becomes even more blurred.
I suggest self checking energy levels, sleep levels, hunger levels and what the scale is saying. Sometimes its hard to hear the cues from our body even when they are loud and clear.
Listen closely and learn what those cues mean.
~Some elite athletes have been known to closely monitor resting heart rate and basal body temperature as a way to monitor their bodies during training. These subtle changes can alert athletes and trainers to overtraining, undereating, or impending illness.
When all else fails, your body is the only one that needs to be right:
It doesn't matter what your food logging software tells you, sometimes you need those calories and sometimes you don't. If you are new to food logging, try to be as accurate as possible with your measurements and tweak your food in small increments to try to find what works best for your hunger, your energy, and your weight goals.
If you are a pro at food logging as many of you have become in the past few years, you may have graduated! Trust me, I am not saying give up the logging, its a valuable tool that will always have its place when needed. BUT...
You and your body are officially on the same team!
So start listening and see what happens, remember the three most important factors...
Your Energy
Your Hunger
Your Scale
If these are behaving favorably than you have it figured out. Your body is telling you what it needs and what it doesn't need and you should listen to it.
This may last a few days, a few weeks, a few months.... the trick is to keep the lines of communication open and don't let problems sneak up on you.
Make sure your goals are realistic and healthy and don't settle for thinking you aren't worthy. Your body isn't broken, if you aren't seeing results its probably because you haven't figured out what your body needs to see those results. Listen and learn and you WILL Improve!
~ ~ ~
Have questions on how to log your food and learn what your body needs? Ask a trainer about it at the gym!
