Until today, I've never really thought of the benefits of dating a wid. There's some downfalls of course, like the unpredictable emotional swings of grief, but the upside is ideal. What brings this way of thinking on? Well upon having a 12 hour work day, I felt my phone vibrate and had a Facebook messenger notification from a girl I don't even know. A girl who I've never met before, and lives well over 1,000 miles away. Sitting in my inbox was a novella from Mike's ex-girlfriend.
This is peculiar, I thought to myself. To give background without over sharing, Mike and I have been working on ourselves in the recent weeks. It's caused a rift, and we're working on it. I've been blessed with knowing what true love and having a soulmate is all about, and when I feel something is worth my time I do cherish it. I cherish the time I spend with Mike and like many relationships there's ups and downs. However, never could I imagine a person waiting in the peanut gallery who from a distance tracks my relationship be prepared to sling and cast doubt.
This pissed me off. Which brings me to my next point of why dating a wid is great; no obstreperous ex to pipe in and give their words of wisdom.
I am not taking kindly to a person who so purposefully tried to impede my personal life. I take care of myself, I have gone through hell and back and have improved myself physically, emotionally, mentally and maturely. I am strong, and acts of weakness from people of my own gender bother me. What was to be gained by this? What was the purpose? Take care of your own life and butt out of mine.

Unearthing The Metal Underground In Bangladesh
With a population of 160 million people, Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. The country's attitude of cultural tolerance (Muslims, Christians, Hindus and Buddhists live side-by-side) is reflected in their tastes in metal (well, at least in this article).
This Unearthing segment includes three bands of disparate styles from the city of Dhaka. The wide scope of sounds documented in the following video includes death metal, black metal, atmospheric, neo-classical, thrash, and progressive, many derived from a sole band!
Mostly unknown in the West, Artcell is one of the most celebrated rock acts of Bangladesh. They play arenas, appear on TV shows and have over 479,000 likes on their Facebook page. In addition to the Sabbath-thy heaviness of debut "Onnoshomoy," Artcell has an affinity for melody and acoustic guitar. I'm not sure what the band sings about because all lyrics are sung in Bengali, but his voice is harmonious and passionate. Whatever he's saying, their crowds respond well. As with most prog bands, Artcell has an outstanding bass sound, very warm.
Unearthing The Metal Underground in Bulgaria
Eastern Europe is a hotbed for extreme metal. Behemoth and Vader opened venues and studio doors to growls and screams, and invited a whole new generation of cult bands into their realm of the world. Today, we are going to focus on three of those bands. MU has reported on one of these bands in the past, Enthrallment, but we will be introducing two more--Dimholt and Dark Incognito.
Bulgaria did not always allow extreme metal within its borders. Since the mid-40s, Bulgaria was under Soviet rule. As soon as the Eastern Bloc collapsed, heavy bands began to form. Murder Sound studio owner and Enthrallment drummer, Ivo Ivanov states that many bands began to form in the period of 1989-1993 in his hometown of Pleven. Artists such as Mortal Remains, Corpse and Necrophilia ushered in the first wave of extreme metal. Ivanov's band, Enthrallment emerged during the the period of 1993-1998, an era he dubs the "zenith of the death metal industry."
Starting with their 1999 demo "The Scarlet Difference" and ending with their latest full-length "People From The Lands of Vit," Enthrallment has created death metal appeasing to their European neighbors and long-distance listeners in America. The group has played Serbia's Hellhammer Festival and Obscene Extreme Fest. They toured with Malevolent Creation, Rotting Christ and Rotten Sound in 2011, and supported major acts such as Destruction, Obituary, Deicide and Napalm Death.
In a couple of weeks, at the beginning of 2014, Enthrallment will release its newest incarnation of audio filth, "The Voice of Human Perversity." Ivanov recorded and mixed the album in his Murder Sound Studio, while the group sent the recording to Safehouse Production in Florida to be mastered by James Murphy. Check out a preview of the album below, as well as the video for "Fruits of Pain and Blue Sky."
Unearthing The Metal Underground in Chile Pt. 2
In this week's edition of Unearthing the Metal Underground, we'll revisit the country of Chile again - a land with a scene that is so vast and devout that one could do a column on it every week. I respect the Chileans since they are fervent supporters of their metal scene with how they pack their clubs and buy music. In fact, looking at the Chilean scene is observing one with both plenty of new talent and veteran acts just now getting their due.
The Chilean scene dates back to the eighties, much like ours. In gaining an overview of it all, it is best to see it through the eyes of a Chilean old schooler. One of the most visible scene veterans, Digmetalworld honcho Ignacio Orellana, has seen a great deal of it since he picked up his first pair of drumsticks at the age of 14. The Santiago native thus began his journey into being a metal drummer and all-around metal music fanatic. More...
Unearthing The Costa Rican Metal Underground Pt. 2
Let's once again take a look at my former residence of Costa Rica as we bring you a scene report from this Central American country. In the past forty years, travelers from all over have been making it a vacation hotbed. Celebrities own homes there, drawn in by the fabulous ocean, weather, mountains and night life. Many metal bands also make Central and South America prerequisite stops on their tours now. Even bands with little or no label support are financing small club gigs and have made Costa Rica one of their stops. More...
Unearthing The Latvian Metal Underground
As we've shown throughout the years in our never ending quest to the Unearth the Metal Underground, high quality metal bands can come from the most surprising of locations. Europe is known as a hotbed of extreme metal, both originating several styles and still innovating others, and even those tiny, out of the way countries have something appropriately metallic to offer.
Today we'll take a look at three unknown acts from the Latvian metal scene. Working largely without label support and independently releasing demos, EPs, and albums, which in an earlier era would have been hindrance, now these underground stalwarts have a chance to be heard by a much wider audience thanks to various social networking sites and music platforms like Bandcamp.
Featuring members of Ocularis Infernum, this absolute gem of the Latvian scene takes the black metal sound you think you know and takes it on a twisting journey. While it keeps up the menacing and horrifying vibe black metal is known for, it's all injected with a surprising amount of melodic hooks. The band's debut album "Hierophanies" is out now (reviewed here) and can be streamed in full via the player below.
Unearthing The Metal Underground In Puerto Rico
Today on Metal Underground, we will head over to almost the southeasternmost zip code in the US - the island of Puerto Rico. Not exactly a nation, although many of its citizens would like it to be, Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States with its own constitution and a rhythm and vibe that rival that of any Central American country.
We have featured several Puerto Rican bands and groups that have ties to that island in our news such as Zafakon, who rose to prominence with their "Fall" EP back in 2010. The all female gothic/black metal trio Matriarch, now disbanded, combined the impossibly high soprano operatic pitch of guitarist Vanessa Urrutia and the evil lower end vocals of Shamara and Isabel. Too bad "Revered Unto the Ages" was their swan song. Countless bands are actively playing, releasing albums and making the news on a regular basis, though. More...
Unearthing The Melodic Metal Underground
Grind, slam, death, black: metal has its share of extreme bands that revel in pulverizing an audience with unrelenting brutality or smothering out all hope with ceaseless darkness. Today we'll move away from that side of metal however, to enjoy the more melodic sounds heavy bands have to offer.
Every week we unearth three bands you may not have heard of from the more underground corners of the scene, and this week's all about the melody! If you dig power, prog, classic metal, or any combination of the three, these are all bands that are well worth your time.
Kicking off our latest look at less extreme bands is Finland's Cardiant, which leans significantly more towards power metal, but with a dash of traditional and prog metal thrown in for good measure. The band has a lot going on across that spectrum, so don't be surprised if you hear a variety of piano and keyboard segments, along with some choruses of clean singing that even bring to mind Devin Townsend's "Epicloud."
While there are a scattered handful of darker moments, overall Cardiant is melodic and upbeat through and through. The band's latest album "Verge" is out now through Inverse Records, which follows the previous two full-lengths "Tomorrow's Daylight" and "Midday Moon." Get acquainted with the outfit through two tracks off "Verge" below.
Unearthing The Chinese Metal Underground Pt. 2
Despite misconceptions, how could the huge country of China not have a big metal scene? It most certainly does. Even though social media, ISPs, chat rooms, forums and much of the internet is highly state regulated in China, there are enough ways for Chinese metal bands and fans to communicate out there. Like Deng Xiaoping once famously said - "If you open the window for fresh air, you have to expect some flies to blow in." More...
Unearthing The Prog Rock Underground
As a child growing up in the late sixties/early seventies listening to Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes and Jean Luc Ponty, progressive rock was and is a large part of my musical foundation. The orchestration of prog rock expanded music from anthemic songs with a simplistic chorus-verse structure into compositions that took on a life of their own through arrangements that incorporated elements of jazz, folk and other forms of music in atypical time signatures. These musicians represented a skilled genre, one where a band had to know how to play far beyond 'adequate' and know all types of music. More...
Unearthing The Non-Traditional Black Metal Scene
Record sales may be dropping and labels may be on the verge of extinction, but the underground metal scene is still a thriving and vibrant place where musical innovation continues to occur. Every Monday we dig deep into the underground to unearth three bands you may not have had the chance to check out yet, but which deserve to be heard.
It's no secret I dig bands that mix it up and don't stick to one straight style, having previously unearthed avant-garde bands, a handful of genre flip-floppers, metal outfits that experiment with non-traditional sounds, and those bands that just plain ignore musical trends.
Today you'll get another dose of heavy music that doesn't play by the normal genre rules. These three bands may all technically be black metal, but they push that definition to its limits and sometimes even well beyond!
This German act is currently with Code666 records, which is a smaller label in the grand scheme of things, but it still has some very solid underground acts known for combining sub-genres and mixing up their sounds.
Todtgelichter has four full-length releases under its belt, having just dropped new album "Apnoe" this year (reviewed here). "Apnoe" is definitely less raucous and battering than previous releases, occasionally dropping out the black metal altogether, just to bring it back in at unexpected times to barrel over an unsuspecting audience. The harsh vocals are present but take a back seat to clean male and female singing, accompanied by atmospheric and calm parts that give off a modern-era Anathema vibe.
Keep up with the latest on Todtgetlichter at Facebook and be sure to check out a track from the current album and its predecessor "Angst" below.
Unearthing The Middle Eastern Underground
While metal bands of pretty much any sub-genre can be found all over the world, different areas have become well known for specific sounds: the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Scandinavian black metal, Bay Area thrash, and so on. But metal continues to spread and evolve across the planet, and now the various Middle Eastern nations are not only developing their own underground scene, but also inspiring a traditional Arabic sound in metal bands from other countries.
Israeli act Orphaned Land may be one of the most well known, with latest album "All Is One" nearing release through Century Media, but there are many more just waiting to be explored in our never ending quest to unearth the metal underground.
Today we'll cover three lesser known bands either residing in or strongly influenced by the Middle East. If you dig these acts but want something more on the power or progressive side, be sure to also check out Myrath, which was covered in our look at bands getting exposure through the Prog Power USA festival.
Sand Aura
Currently down to three members and now seeking a new keyboardist for live shows, Egyptian outfit Sand Aura released debut full-length album "Elegy of the Orient" last year. The album can be ordered directly through the band's website or streamed in its entirety via Bandcamp.
Sand Aura covers a whole lot of ground sound-wise, working off a proto death metal base with deep and guttural vocals, adding in a folksy edge, and then also bringing out clean female vocals. Give it a listen and decide how it sounds yourself through the player below.
Unearthing The Industrial Metal Underground Pt. 2
Recently, the respected Death Metal Underground site ran a brief synopsis of the new book "Assimilate: A Critical History of Industrial Music" by S. Alexander Reed. The tome came out earlier this year and is a recommended read for anyone immersed in the current huge wave of industrial bands or who has followed the genre since its inception in the early eighties. More...
Unearthing The Avant-Garde Metal Underground
The number of metal bands out there has exploded in the last few years, and finding acts that meet your tastes can be quite a challenge, especially if you prefer your heavy music underground instead of well known. To help keep up with the ever shifting sea of metal, each Monday we unearth three lesser known bands all grouped by style or location.
We've looked at underground experimental bands before, but today we'll cover three groups on the far fringe of the avant-garde scene. These three metallic offerings are for fans of the most bizarre reaches of music, combining elements that typically never come within miles of each other.
Age of Silence
Norway's Age of Silence unfortunately only released a single full-length album back in 2004, titled "Acceleration," and followed that with an EP the next year. True to its name, the band has been mostly silent since then, only popping up in 2010 to announce work was underway on another album, but nothing has come of it yet.
Age of Silence starts with a distinctly Scandinavian metal sound, but goes primarily for clean vocals, lacing in a variety of odd keyboard sound effects that take the music in a different direction than normal.
While there may or may not ever be new Age of Silence material, band member Andy Winter recently released his own solo album, offering more proggy Norwegian metal for fans who can't get enough.
Unearthing The Los Angeles Death Metal Scene
Every week we take a look at 3 unsigned bands that stand out from the crowd in our Unearthing the Metal Underground column. This week we take a look at the Los Angeles, California death metal scene.
Having recently moved to Los Angeles from New York, I was very impressed with the scene here. Promoters treating bands with respect and aggressively promoting their shows, grass roots marketing, bands helping each other out, everyone staying to hear every band at every show, and of course tons of talent. Of all the shocks I saw, it was the blending of scenes. There are shows with all genres of metal from brutal death, metalcore, thrash, traditional, and even some hard rock/metal cross over bands. The crowds love them all. The music is heavy and the bands are talented, what more do you need?
Today I am going to focus on three of the death metal bands I've come across from the Whittier area of Los Angeles: Syrebris, Insentient, and Infinite Death. More...
Unearthing The Maltese Metal Underground
Each week in Unearthing the Metal Underground, we'll be putting a few quality underground bands in the spotlight in an attempt to get the word out about them. This week, I take on the small, but strong Maltese metal scene.
When one thinks Malta, the first thought that comes to mind is a gorgeous tourist destination rich in Greek, Roman and Arabic culture situated between Italy and North Africa. The Maltese metal scene is a much smaller than other island nations like Cyprus, but it is a strong and hard working underground scene. Though bands are not denied the right to play music they want in this free nation, metal in Malta is typically shunned by the typically close minded culture of the nation and the sheer lack of venues that would have them. Some Maltese bands have been welcomed abroad to mainland Europe and the U.K., though the costs for many are too high. However, the country does have its own metal festivals: the Extreme Maltese Metal and Xtreme Metal Assault festivals held in the summer as well as the "M.D.M." (Malta Doom Metal) held in November in the city of Rabat.
Some Maltese acts have either made it beyond the Mediterranean to tour Europe and the UK, or at the very least been heard worldwide, but still remain largely underground. Today, we will look at three of those acts: Forsaken, Loathe and Weeping Silence. More...
Unearthing The Greek Metal Underground
A couple of months ago, I wrote a column examining three metal bands from Turkey, the country which bridges Europe and Asia, and a conversation was struck wherein I mentioned the idea of checking out some of the underground metal music that Turkey's neighbours, Greece have to offer. Greece is certainly one of the most fascinating countries in Europe, if not the world, owing to its ancient history, philosophers, contributions to science, maths and politics and mythology, and it's a place that enjoys heavy metal music too. Some of the more significant Greek metal bands around today include Rotting Christ, Firewind and SepticFlesh, but this week we will uncover three bands which aren't as well known.
Suicidal Angels
Of all the bands featured this week, Suicidal Angels are probably the most well known, having worked extremely hard over the past few years to spread their brand of thrash metal. The group was formed in the Greek capital city of Athens in 2001 by singing guitarist, Nick Melissourgos and eventually recorded their first full length album, "Eternal Domination" in 2007, which was released in July of that year. The record did well enough to gain them a place supporting such thrash legends as Overkill, Kreator and Onslaught. The release of their second album, "Sanctify the Darkness" further solidified their place as one of the best young thrash metal acts around, and led them to more appearances with high profile artists, as well as slots at such festivals as Sonisphere and Wacken Open Air. The band has since released two more full length records, the most recent of which, "Bloodbath," hit the shelves last year.
Suicidal Angels - "Apokathilosis"
Unearthing More Genre Flip-Floppers
With more than 15,000 bands in our database, and hordes more than that in existence, every Monday we like to take a little time to highlight three underground bands that deserve your attention.
Usually our unearthed bands focus on a single sub-genre or geographic region, but today we'll look bands that have all experienced a similar phenomena: the flip-flop. Favored maneuver of politicians everywhere, and for some reason also plenty of metal bands, these guys aren't doing it to pick up more votes, as their flip-flips frequently cost them fans.
Metal has its fair share of musical flip-floppers who went from heavy to soft, vice versa, or smashed opposing elements together to create a different type of sound. Our previous look at three genre flip-floppers covered a variety of them, and there are even more well known acts that have taken this route, from Darkthrone to Anathema and Therion. Below you'll find a sampling of three lesser known acts that have significantly changed sound from their earlier works.
This Swedish death metal act had a cult hit back in 2009 with debut full-length "The Horror" (reviewed here), which was a brutal and unrelenting take on death/thrash that never let up. Short but sweet, the tracks were brief bites of devastation that didn't overstay their welcome.
Fast forward to 2013, and Tribulation is an altogether different beast. Unlike the other two bands we'll look at today, this time the change in sound actually made the songs much longer than before. "The Formulas of Death" (check out the review) saw the band become a progressive death metal outfit with plenty of melody and unexpected stylistic shifts. If it weren't for the remaining thrash influence in the guitar sounds and the recurring death vocals, this would essentially be two different bands.
Hear the difference yourself through the clips below taken from each album. There is a lot going on musically throughout the second album, so a single song doesn't really give enough to digest the breadth of the change, but you can also check out the new song "When the Sky is Black with Devils" via the band's Facebook profile.
Unearthing The Screamo Underground
This edition of Unearthing The Metal Underground was part of our 2013 April Fools pranks.
The much maligned deathcore genre. Whenever you hear the term, it is beset with cringes from some. Actually, though, deathcore gets a bad rap that merits further investigation. When metalcore evolved into deathcore and placed more emphasis on the screaming, growling and more punctuated breakdowns, plenty of bands were still keeping the heaviness and technical quotient at a good level. There's the pummeling force of the Acacia Strain and the progressive finesse of BTBAM straddling the line with technical death metal on the other end, along with a good measure of heavier and original sounding deathcore bands. More...
Unearthing More Symphonic/Melodic Metal Bands
Amidst all the pig squeals and face shredding tech-death, there's plenty of music to be found in the metal world that borrows from (or even relies on entirely!) a symphonic sound. These acts aren't afraid to show off their melodic side, creating unique songs that blend heavy guitars and even screams with more traditional stringed instruments and keyboards.
If power metal isn't your thing but you still want music with more melody than the standard death metal troupe, check out this week's crop of bands as we unearth more of the metal underground.
This Ukraine-based group has existed off and on since the '90s, but it wasn't until last week that it finally dropped a debut full-length album titled "Wind of Freedom" via Svarga Music. If the name didn't tip you off, the lyrics and themes of the music are based heavily on pagan traditions and are dedicated to the history and folklore of the band's homeland.
Although Paganland describes itself as a "pagan black metal" band, this is much more on the symphonic and folk side than the black metal side of things, and fans of Tyr will be right at home with much of the new disc. Get a sampling of what the band has to offer through the title track available below, or hear more over at Facebook.
Unearthing The "Black Metal" Underground Part 3
The U.S. and a couple of other nations celebrate Black History Month, which was created back in February of 1926 to coincide with the birthdays of Abe Lincoln and Frederick Douglass - and to highlight the achievements of noteworthy black citizens and events shaping black history. It may be February, but here at Metal Underground we feature metal from all ethnicities on any given week.
But in keeping with the Black History Month theme, today we will explore three groups that are composed partially or entirely of all black members. The aggression and power of metal is a worldwide phenomena that crosses all genders, races and creeds. Something about metal just touches your soul, blacks and non-blacks alike, connecting you to this style of music that you just instinctively know you were born to listen to. More...

Among the coverage is a New York Law Journal article focused on new field clinics. "In addition to identifying and intervening in cases of elder abuse, students are also representing senior citizens in eviction cases and evaluating their food, housing and health care needs," the paper noted of the Elder Rights Clinic. The Clinic was also featured in BiFocal, an influential journal of the ABA Commission on Law and Aging, which stated: "The news [of the Clinic] is timely as more baby boomers enter the 60+ age bracket and the legal needs of older adults continue to expand. By 2030, it is estimated by the Department of City Planning that the borough of Brooklyn alone will have as many as 410,000 residents over the age of 65. Yet today, 53 percent of Brooklyn residents in that same demographic struggle with desperately low incomes." Leading the dialogue on important topics, the Elder Rights Clinic and the Elder Law Society will hold an on-campus discussion, "The Right of Passing," on November 21. The event will feature a debate on the moral and legal issues surrounding euthanasia, and whether certain life-ending methods should be characterized as assisted suicide or aid in dying. All are welcome to attend. Speakers include David C. Leven, Esq., the Executive Director of Compassion & Choices of NY, an affiliate of the national organization that works for terminally ill patients' rights to receive pain and symptom management, and supports choice at the end of life; and Anne Studholme, Esq., a veteran advocate for several national disability rights groups opposed to the legalization of assisted suicide or aid in dying. Professor Nelson Tebbe, a noted scholar of constitutional law, will provide a brief overview of the law surrounding euthanasia and moderated the debate.

With the complexity of modern AI systems, they sometimes come up with solutions we don't expect … when we least expect it. Here's a great video example of this; an AIBO robot is presented with a problem that seems to have only one possible solution. Can you figure out more than one? The AIBO can.
Placed in a dark room with one lit button that turns on the lights, and one unlit button that opens the door out, the AIBO is given the goal of getting out of the room. It's too dark for him to see the unlit Open button, so the idea is that he should learn to turn on the lights first. Watch the video to see what happens.
Did you figure it out before watching? The AIBO is part of a research program at the Rutgers Laboratory for Real-Life Reinforcement Learning, and the video was submitted to the AAAI-07 video competition earlier this year (and won for best short video).
These kinds of surprising solutions are often fun, and not that uncommon. I've experienced similar things myself, where creatures in a simulation I was developing found a way to get around a programming fault — effectively using their own intelligence to counter a mistake that human error had left in the fabric of their universe.

to the beat we live, to the beat we ride
BPM is Victoria, BC's first boutique spin studio founded on the principles of inclusivity, generosity, and fun! We provide a welcoming environment free from gym-timidation, where riders can feel comfortable while safely pushing their physical limits.
Located in the heart of downtown Victoria on historic Johnson Street, the BPM spin studio provides an environment that makes you feel at home. Heritage red brick, high ceilings, dim lighting and plenty of space to move between bikes characterize our unique studio. When you walk into BPM, you will be greeted by one of our friendly staff who will provide you with a complimentary towel, spin shoes, heart rate monitor, and locker. The spin studio also features a retail shop, Cultured Kombucha, change rooms, washrooms, shower, and hydration station for your convenience.
Locally owned and operated, BPM is proudly Victorian and one of a kind. Owners of BPM, Sally and Keelan opened the spin studio to fulfill their lifelong dreams of creating a unique space where Victorians can get active, have fun, and meet new people – and BPM does just that. With over 40-years combined experience in the fitness industry, Sally and Keelan are always close by and happy to help whenever they can, so say hi next time you're in!
What we do
Indoor cycling, better known as spin, is what we do. The low-impact nature of spin makes it suitable exercise for anyone, including older adults or people recovering from orthopedic injuries. You're in control of your own resistance, pace, and intensity, which makes spin suitable for anyone! Every rider at BPM also receives a Polar heart rate monitor. Based on your maximum heart rate, the monitor projects your intensity onto a screen in front of the class. But it's totally anonymous! Every rider receives a number corresponding to their monitor – so no one will know how much you're slacking 😉
All our spin classes are 45-60 minutes all day, every day, 364 days a year. That means we run over 1300 classes a year … that's a lot of sweat. Just think of how many tacos you could eat! But BPM isn't just a studio, it's a community. To strengthen this community, BPM also provides riders with the opportunity to take part in group activities, parties, and educational classes/workshops including strength training, instructor training, nutrition, cycling technique, and more!
Why are we different?
BPM's spin classes were developed on the principles of exercise physiology and ensure each rider uses proper biomechanics while riding. Cycling technique is at the forefront of every class and Instructors are trained to identify poor technique, posture, and high-risk activity to guarantee every rider has a safe and effective class. This means that we don't teach arm bends (handlebar push-ups), use tiny weights, or cycle at revolutions greater than our bodies were built to manage. This keeps our riders safe and gives you an amazing workout!
The studio also features the cutting-edge Keiser M3i spin bike, which offers a superior ride through magnetic resistance, digital display, 24 gears, and wireless Bluetooth technology that allows riders to download data right to their smartphones.

The concept of tax domicile is often confused with tax residence. Put simply, tax residence broadly relates to where someone lives and domicile broadly relates to where they come from. There are thousands of non-domiciles who are tax resident in the UK and this status confers important tax benefits.
Non-UK domiciles living in the UK can choose to pay tax only on their income and gains in the UK, leaving all their overseas income and gains outside the scope of UK tax unless they are brought into the UK.
This is called the remittance basis of taxation and is explained in more detail here.
However, following the Summer 2015 budget, notable changes are due to be introduced to the taxation of non-UK domiciled individuals from April 2017. These changes are explained in more detail here.
UK Tax residency can be a much more straightforward issue, as a Statutory Residence Test (SRT) was introduced for individuals for the 2013-14 tax year onwards. The SRT sets out clear rules for individuals to adhere to within the legislation. This can still, however, be complicated and expert advice should be sought if you are looking to move to or leave the UK.
Historic tax residency issues, prior to the introduction of the SRT, are far more complex but an area that our team have plenty of experience in.
For more information regarding residency for UK tax purposes, please click here or contact us to discuss either your residency or domicile status with a member of our team.

The iPad has many shortcomings that would make the very concept of running a business from it laughable. It doesn't run the key applications we use to conduct our business; syncing documents between your Mac and iPad requires iTunes as a middle man; it lacks sufficient hard drive space to store all the files you may need access to; you can't view many of the documents you may be sent via email – and you certainly won't be able to edit all of them; and the onscreen keyboard may be crippling if you are trying to create content using it.
However, its small size, touch interface, and impressive battery life add up to one of the best devices ever built for working on the move.
The most obvious difference between an iPad and a laptop is the way you interface with the device. Finger taps replace the mouse and cursor, and an onscreen keyboard is available for inputting text. The onscreen keyboard may be the first thing to convince you that the iPad is not a device for serious work. Compared to the iPhone's tiny onscreen keyboard, the iPad version is nearly touch-typeable, but it's still no match for a real QWERTY board when it comes to comfort and typing speed.
This doesn't have to be an issue. Many of the frustrations associated with the onscreen keyboard are eradicated by plugging in an external keyboard. The iPad supports external keyboards – officially it works with Bluetooth keyboards and Apple's iPad Keyboard Dock. Some other keyboards (including Apple's aluminium models) will give you an error message because they provide higher-power USB ports and therefore require more power than the iPad's dock-connector port will provide. This doesn't mean the keyboard won't work, however. Once you dismiss that error message, the keyboard functions as normal. Plugging in an external keyboard gives you access to the keys for screen brightness, media playback, volume level, and the arrow keys. Many of the standard Mac keyboard shortcuts also work: Command-C for cut, Command-V for paste, Command-Z for undo, and so on.
Our advice is to skip the Apple Keyboard Dock and use Apple's standard Wireless Keyboard. While the iPad Keyboard Dock doesn't rely on a wireless connection, doesn't need batteries, has some useful iPad-specific keys, and can be attached to your computer to sync and power the iPad while you work, it's heavy, it's bulky, it wobbles, and you can't adjust the position of the iPad when you're using it. Apple's Wireless Keyboard on the other hand is much more comfortable and portable, you'll just need to find a way to prop up the iPad when you are using it.
Even with the addition of an external keyboard the iPad will weigh less than your laptop, making the combination a desirable alternative to a laptop for lots of typing on the road. The iPad also doubles up as a handy display for Keynote presentations when visiting clients or making sales pitches.
Applications are key
Keynote is one Apple app that is already available on the iPad. Apple quickly launched iPad versions of its Pages word processor, Numbers spreadsheet, and Keynote presentation package that make up its iWork office suite for the Mac. We expect all will be priced at a reasonable £5.99 each.
While the list of features in the three apps doesn't rival that of Microsoft Office or even the Mac version of iWork, that's not a huge issue given the relatively simple tasks you're likely to undertake on an iPad. But Pages, Numbers, and Keynote all have one gigantic, overriding problem: Their support for document exchange with the non-iPad world is dismal. If you start a message in Mail, you have no way to attach an iWork document. You also can't hook up your iPad to a computer via USB and simply drag documents back and forth. Instead, you must export documents from within iWork – as attachments, using iTunes as a conduit, or via the not-nearly-as-useful-as-it-sounds iWork.com.
All three apps claim to open Office documents, but some such documents appear garbled, and others produce only a cryptic error message. The programs strip out formatting that they don't understand; as a result, that formatting disappears if you try to move the file back to a desktop suite. And you might not even be able to do that: Pages can export Word files, but Numbers can't save in Excel format, and Keynote doesn't do PowerPoint.
These issues are so ugly for iWork, and for the iPad in general, that it's hard to imagine they won't get fixed. But users may not have to wait for Apple: iPad versions of the Quickoffice suite for handhelds and DataViz's similar Documents to Go are in the works. Both of those mobile productivity packages have long histories of handling documents that were created elsewhere with panache. And they might turn out to be better options than the current version of iWork, even if they aren't as elegant.

The Commando is the Light Unit from the Postmodern Era.
This is, apart from the MG Team, the last unit unlocked in the Postmodern Era. A Commando Camp is required to train this unit.
It has the highest attack value in the era, along with Universal Tanks, moderate to low defense, moderate to high movement and low range.
The strong aspects of this unit are the bonuses. It has 40 extra attack and defense points when facing Universal Tanks and Rocket Artillerys, 25 attack and defense points when placed in entrenchments and 50 extra defense points in forests, with hiding skill included. Finally, they also possess Close Quarters; so, as long as it attacks from an adjacent field, it will have 50 extra attack points.
The Commandos are highly terrain dependent in order for them to be effective. If the scenario is wooded, they can hide, wait for the opponent to get close quarters, force them to a retaliation of 130 attack points or take advantage of entrenchments, they prove to be effective, specially against Universal Tanks and Rocket Artillery.
Unfortunately, when the terrain doesn't help them and when they are facing MGs and IFVs, they have a massive disadvantage.

Our Philosophy
College is a time of transition from late adolescence into adulthood. We recognize that students with disabilities face the same challenges as every college bound young adult plus the challenges related to limitations imposed by disabilities. Ultimately, the Student Disability Resource Center, in partnership with university faculty and staff, hope to facilitate every college student's successful transition into an independent adult life.
Our Commitment to You
We do nothing about you, without you.
Any action regarding access to services, seeking special assistance or providing reasonable accommodation must be initiated by you.
We speak with you, not about you.
All communication in any matter related to you flows through you.
No one speaks for you, or acts for you, but you.
We look to you to express your needs, provide us with information that will help us assist you, and keep in contact with us.
Federal Law and university policies require this. But most importantly, our desire to provide you with the best service in this time of transition requires this.
Students need support, but not the control of parents and other family members. Appropriate parental involvement must take place within the boundaries set by law, by good sense and by keeping the long term best interest of the emerging young adult in mind. Such involvement as it relates to university life most often involves advising and encouraging from the sidelines. Only the most extreme circumstances, such as those that seriously threaten the health of the student, allow for direct parental involvement.

Make sure to check all of the hotels, don't just stick with the ones on the strip. You can look into the prices for the downtown hotels and those off strip. Ones off the strip often offer free shuttles to take you to the strip as part of their accommodations package. So you could save a lot of money by doing this. The key here is you need to be a smart shopper when it comes to finding an affordable room in Vegas.
In front of The fashion show mall you can't miss the giant flying saucer they call The Cloud, and the giant multimedia billboards with constant video displays. Once inside, you have found the largest shopping experience in all of Nevada, with over 250 retailers anchored by 7 major department stores, and a large Food Court in addition to the regular restaurants.
December 3rd through December 12th is the National Finals Rodeo the town is full of cowboys who watch the events on closed circuit TV or attend the NFR events at the Thomas and Mack Center. After the rodeo the town is quiet and slow until New Years Eve. This is the best time to visit especially if you don't like crowds. There are no waits for buffets or restaurants. The clubs are easy to get into and you can attend most shows half price and get great seats.
I recently took my first trip to Las Vegas and learned quite a bit about how to make my vacation better. I hope these tips will help you plan your Las Vegas vacation and have a wonderful time.
Golden Nugget – This downtown Vegas classic resort is situated in the heart of the world-famous Fremont Street Experience, three miles from the Strip. This elegant hotel features all the excitement and glamour of a casino hotel without all the flashy neon glitz of the Strip.
"I've only had great experiences. We've had a lot of people say, 'Thanks, Barb.' One guy said, 'Oh my friend got one of these. They're the greatest.' We sometimes see people still carrying their bags around using them for their stuff because they're heavy canvass-like bags.
What Else is There To Do – for thrills and chills try the Adventuredome Theme Park at 2880 Las Vegas Blvd. Over 25 rides and games will keep the kids busy for hours. There are several museums in Las Vegas. I loved the Auto Collection at the Imperial Palace. It's the largest classic car collection and changes frequently as the cars are for sale. I've never seen so many beautiful Rolls Royces.
Here's another option: As you walk through the casinos you'll find hotel employees that mob you offering free venue tickets. If you're willing to sit through one of their time-share presentations, you can score free tickets just for attending. Bribes include free dinner show or exhibition tickets for the entire family. Presentations can last anywhere from 1 to 2 hours and often involve the "hard sell" portion at the end. This is when you'd politely decline, get your tickets, then get the hell out of there!


text: Here's a quick photo I took of Scotty's Mario party invitations. My amazingly talented, friend, Jamie started teaching me how to play around with Photoshop. A whole world of possibilities has been opened up to me....and I don't even really know how to do that much on it. The best part is you design your image, upload it to Costco's photo center, and get them printed there for .13 cents a piece. I spent less than $2.00 on invitations, including tax. These were 4x6 prints. Love Photoshop, love Costco photo center, LOVE Jamie....and I even love Mario, because it made my kid happy on his birthday.

Greg Chappell, Australia's first full-time selector, is in no hurry to discard any of Australia's senior players but is ready to make the tough decisions. Chappell will begin his second term with the panel over the next month after being appointed as the national talent manager on Monday.
Ricky Ponting, Michael Hussey and Simon Katich are all 35 and the finish of the Ashes and World Cup will require some significant long-term planning. As India coach, Chappell stood firm to end Sourav Ganguly's captaincy and he knows there will be difficult and unpopular choices.
"It comes with the territory," Chappell said at Australia's camp in Queensland. "Thankfully I'm not chairman of selectors, so maybe the toughest selections come down to the chairman [Andrew Hilditch]. I've been involved in selection on and off for Australia over the years, I've never been in the situation before when we've had to vote."
Chappell, who was interviewed last week, held a similar role until he stepped down in 1988 and became a commentator. Since then he has coached South Australia, India, Australia A and most recently at the Centre of Excellence. He will move from Brisbane, where he has been based since 2008, to Melbourne for the post, which also encompass talent identification and working with the states. As the panel's spokesman, he will also be the public face of the selectors.
The make-up of the rest of the four-man unit will be determined by Cricket Australia's board in October. Hilditch is contracted until next year's World Cup while one of David Boon, Jamie Cox and Merv Hughes is expected to depart to accommodate Chappell.
Michael Brown, Cricket Australia's operations manager, said he had not talked to Hilditch about his post-World Cup plans. "He's really excited about what he's doing and we've got a huge challenge ahead in the next eight months," he said. "We haven't had any discussions about his position beyond that. He's starting a business on his own, so he's a pretty busy person, but he's managed the two roles [previously]."
Hilditch and Chappell, whose playing careers just overlapped, have worked together since Chappell became involved with the Academy. "I have a great deal of respect for Andrew as a person and selector, I don't think there'll be too many issues there," Chappell said.
He enters a panel that has come under a lot of criticism for its choices over the past couple of years as the side has slipped from the No.1 Test ranking. It currently sits fourth and Chappell, 62, brings a youth-centred focus following his time with the Centre of Excellence.
"It gives me a pretty good feel for what's out there and what is required for the next couple of years," he said. "There's no rush to push anyone out the door. You have to earn the right to play for Australia, that's something the whole selection panel is conscious of, and will bear in mind going forward."
After retiring in 1983-84, Chappell was part of the selection panel that appointed Allan Border as captain following Kim Hughes' mid-series resignation, and he was involved in picking the 1987 World Cup-winning squad. He was also a key supporter of Ian Healy's rapid promotion in 1988.
"I enjoyed the role as a selector in the mid-80s to late 80s, I only really gave it away due to family and business commitments," he said. "We were reasonably successful coming out of a pretty lean time at that stage. I'd like to think I played some small part of that."
As a player he was peerless, scoring 7110 runs in 87 Tests, and captained Australia in 48 matches. He found coaching more difficult, especially during his two-year tenure with India, which ended after a first-round exit at the 2007 World Cup.

J.K Rowling is set to publish a sequel to 2013's 'The Cukoo's Calling', and will use the same Pseudonym, Robert Galbraith.
Picture: J.K.Rowling 'Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows - Part 2' World Premiere - Arrivals London, England - 07.07.11
J.K. Rowling will publish a second novel under the pen name Robert Galbraith.
The 'Harry Potter' author used the alias for 2013's crime fiction 'The Cukoo's Calling,' which followed private investigator Cormoran Strike.
Rowling's forthcoming novel, titled 'The Silkworm', will be a sequel to Galbraith's first novel and will continue to depict the adventures of Mr Strike, notes The Hollywood Reporter.
In the story's next instalment, the private investigator tackles a missing-person case when novelist Owen Quine, who has just finished a body of work that features detestable descriptions of almost everyone he knows, is nowhere to be found.
Quine is eventually found dead, and now the clock is ticking to find the culprit, determine the motive and prevent such a savage killing form occurring again.
Upon first release, The Cukoo's Calling' didn't garner much attention, but it soon began to fly off the shelves when a law firm, that rep's Rowling, let the real identity of the author leak in a tweet.
The lawyer who has responsible for the faux pas was fined for his careless actions.
At the time Rowling was very angry with the leak and released a statement that read, "A tiny number of people knew my pseudonym, and it has not been pleasant to wonder for days how a woman whom I had never heard of prior to Sunday night could have found out something that many of my oldest friends did not know."
"To say that I am disappointed is an understatement. I had assumed that I could expect total confidentiality from Russells, a reputable professional firm, and I feel very angry that my trust turned out to be misplaced," she concluded.
'The Silkworm' will be published on June 19th in Britain and June 24th in the U.S.
J.K. Rowling will pen another novel under the name Robert Galbraith

Kineticism is a sample Caitiff Discipline that allows control over kinetic energy. It serves as an example of a Discipline that a clanless vampire might be able to create.
Kineticism was never updated into either Vampire: The Masquerade Revised Edition or Dark Ages: Vampire, and thus may be considered defunct.
Official Abilities[edit | edit source]
Included below are the official powers described in supplements for Vampire: The Masquerade. Sources are described below in the order they were printed.
Standard Powers[edit | edit source]
- Dampening [1]: The character can hinder the flow of kinetic energy affecting him, reducing the damage of any such attacks directed against him.
- System - The character spends one Blood point and rolls Stamina + Dodge (difficulty 6). Each success reduces the amount of damage successes against him by one (before soak). Dampening effects aggravated attacks also. A character using Dampening may attempt to dodge at the same time by splitting his dice pool.
- Redirection [2]: The character can alter the course of moving objects. Thus, bullets can be made to veer away from the character, sometimes even reversing course by up to 180 degrees.
- System - The character rolls Stamina + Dodge (difficulty 6). For each success, the Character may alter the direction of a single projectile by as much as 30 degrees. Due to the level of concentration required, the character take no other actions. To redirect a missile back at its source, the character must achieve five successes (180 degrees). However, he must also make a Wits + Firearms roll (difficulty 8) to hit the source. If the target is a person, he may attempt to dodge the returned projectile.
- Vengeful Strike [3]: The character is able to focus kinetic energy as a weapon. Any attack that successfully strikes the character may be refocused to add to the character's own hand-to-hand attacks.
- System - The character spends one Blood Point. When struck by an attack, the character must still soak any damage she receives. However, she may add additional dice to her own damage Dice Pool equal to the total number of damage successes against her. This affect can only be used in the same or the following turn in which the character was hit. The extra damage is only considered aggravated if her attack is aggravated (such as vampire fangs).
- Note: Vengeful Strike may be used in the turn as Dampening as long as the proper amounts of Blood Points are spent to activate the powers. However, the character must split his Dampening Dice Pool with his attack Dice Pool (unless he has Celerity)
- Discharge [4]: The character can enhance the kinetic energy she generates herself. She may apply this to ranged attacks.
- System - The character spends one Blood Point and rolls Willpower (difficulty 6). For each success, she may add one die to her damage Dice Pool. This damage may only be applied to physical attacks, such as fists, swords or bullets. The extra damage is only considered aggravated if her attack is aggravated (such as vampiric fangs). The character does not need to split her Dice Pool between this power and her attack; she receives her full pool for each (unless she splits her attack pool with some other action, such as to dodge).
- Kinetic Shield [5]: The character creates a barrier of kinetic energy in front of her, which may be used to protect herself or and one else behind the barrier from assaults.
- System - the character spends one Blood Point and rolls Willpower (difficulty 7). With one success, she creates a 6'x4' barrier in front of her that will absorb up to five Health Levels of damage. Additional successes may be used to increase the area (three feet per success) or add additional Health Levels (one per success).

Yazidi Activist and ISIS Sex Slave Survivor Returns to Her Home Village for the First Time
Yazidi activist Nadia Murad made an emotional visit to her native village of Kojo, near Mosul in Iraq, for the first time since the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) besieged and captured the village three years ago.
Murad returned to what remained of her family home and the school where ISIS massacred thousands of her neighbors and fellow Yazidis. "Nearly 1,700 children and men were piled up in the school," she recalled in tears, Kurdish news channel Rudaw reported.
"What remains of the village is the bones of our brothers, our fathers and mothers. Even in our house there is nothing left from my mother that I can take with me," she said.
Nadia Murad, a Yazidi survivor and now a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking, hugs her brother Saeed as she visits her village for the first time after being captured and sold as a slave by ISIS three years ago, in Kojo, Iraq, on June 1.

During the visit on June 1, the campaigner was reunited with one of her surviving brothers, Saeed, who is also a soldier.
When ISIS attacked Iraq's Sinjar region in 2014, it particularly targeted the Yazidi people, a religious minority the militants consider to be infidels. Thousands of people, like Murad's mother and six of her nine brothers, were massacred. Among those who were spared were some young men who were brainwashed to join the militants as they advanced to Mosul, while Yazidi women suffered abuse as sex slaves.
During her visit to Kojo, Murad said some of the militants were her neighbors, and she could identify them even though they wore masks. "We recognized them from their voices because they used to sit here thousands of times," she said.

Murad, who was 21 years old at the time, was held in captivity by ISIS for three months before she managed to escape. After reaching safety in Germany, she found the strength to share her story to the world and became the voice of the Yadizi community, addressing the United Nations and meeting world leaders.
Joining forces with renowned human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, Murad is fighting for justice for the Yazidi, aiming to investigate ISIS's crimes against humanity and the Yazidi people, thousands of whom remain in the militants' hands.
Murad was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and in September 2016 was appointed the first United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking.

Seven Biola University students received scholarships from Christian Community Credit Union's (CCCU) "Scholarships for Success" program. The total gift amount of $40,000, awarded in September 2014, is the first installment of a $240,000 donation from the credit union, to be given to Biola over the next five years.
Four of the scholarships recipients, Katelyn Biggerstaff (freshmen), Alyssa Bosanko (freshman), Caleb Raney (freshman) and Brianna Eng (sophomore) received $1,000 each. The remaining three recipients, Mckayla Henderson (senior), Rebecca Strauss (senior) and Joel Elies (graduate student), received $4,000 each, as a part of the credit union's multi-year scholarship awards.
"Thanks to Christian Community Credit Union's generosity, our joint efforts will help make a Biola University education more attainable for future generations of students," said Biola University President Barry H. Corey.
These scholarships are not the only ways Biola and CCCU are working together to help student affordability. One program, an affinity card campaign entitled "Benefits of the Biola Signature Rewards Visa," will donate $100 to Biola's scholarship fund for every new Biola Visa card user. Made available November 2014, the Biola Visa also allows cardholders to give back — every time the card is used for purchases, the credit union makes an additional donation at no cost to the cardholder.
"It's an honor and a blessing for us to form an alliance with Biola in establishing a program that aligns with Biola's mission of equipping students to impact the world for Christ," said John Walling, Christian Community Credit Union president and CEO. "The potential for scholarships through our affinity partnership with Biola is great. And the more individuals who take advantage of our special offer, the greater the donation to scholarships!"
CCCU's "Scholarships for Success" program will begin accepting applications again on February 1, 2016. Go to myCCCU.com/scholarship for details.
The Biola Visa card offer is available for Biola alumni, students and their families, staff and other Biola supports. Information is available online at myCCCU.com/BiolaOffer or at 844-GO-BIOLA (844-462-4652).

Genderbending, Androgynous, Men's Inspired, whatever you want to call it, it's obviously a big trend these days. Some people can pull the look off flawlessly but I've yet to fully embrace it because I'm still not sure how I feel about looking like I may or may not have a dick.
A lot of people are split down the middle on the trend and the heated debate seems to stem mostly from the pleated pant. (Lainey says many of you have been emailing her about it after seeing them on Carey Mulligan, Drew Barrymore, and Sienna Miller) This is how to work them best.
Fit is where most people go wrong. These pants are meant to be worn on the loose side, but how loose is the question. Take a look at Sienna Miller in the soft pink pair below.
Coupled with that white cable knit sweater, please, she looks adorable. The secret is finding a pair that falls seamlessly off your frame.
Another thing that makes these pants work is the fabric. Sienna's are on the stiffer side, which I think holds shape better. If you go for a more flimsy fabric it starts bunching together in the front giving the impression that you just took dump in your crotch. I will get to an example of this soon.
The amount of pleating is important too. Sienna's are pretty minimal and so are Drew Barrymore's. Once you start getting into heavy pleating though it ends up looking more like draping which gets you a first class ticket to gunts-ville.
So here's my take. I think women with curves, who actually have hips and an ass, should steer clear. Not everything is for us. My justification is as follows: these pants are shaped in such a way that they should give you some room in the pelvic region but then start to slim down as soon as they hit your thighs. So if you actually HAVE a figure, the fabric starts catching on sh-t and it just looks like you have a mad case of thigh chafe. Which is happening here on the lower half of Jennifer Lopez's jumpsuit and Rihanna's man-pants. Both these women have bangin' bodies and are a size 2/4, so if doesn't work on them really we should all just say f-ck it.
Now one other option is to just buy a larger size but then you're just wearing big pants which I feel misses the point. But by all means, baggy pants are always an option.
To tell the truth, I've bought a couple of pairs and they don't look great on me. Still, for some tweaked reason, I believe with enough searching I'll find the right ones. I have my eyes on a pair by a Canadian company, Dace - look book picture below. These might just do the trick. Fingers crossed.
If you don't have the time or effort to search but still want to do the whole suiting trend then skip over the pleated pants and aim for a dress pant. The look still has the same effect. I recommend these black cropped trousers from the Gap. They suck everything in, the quality is great and the price is sweet. Click here to see see or below.
And don't be expecting any dudes to get boners over this look, it just ain't gonna happen. But that's also one of the reasons I'm into this trend. I like that fact that women are dressing more for themselves and less for the cock. Another bonus, it's a really good option when you're having a chunky day.
Thanks again for all your emails and keep the style questions coming!

It's important to teach kids healthy habits throughout their childhood. Healthy habits we different based on your child's age and developmental abilities, but overall it is important to teach kids about physical health, nutrition, and important life skills.
Following are some tips and suggestions for teaching your kids healthy habits in these three important areas.
1. Physical health
- Parents can model healthy habits for kids in this area. When kids see their parents participating in healthy physical activities, they are more likely to engage in these behaviors, as well.
- Limit screen time and promote active play. Limit screen time to no more than an hour a day (or even less preferably). Encourage kids to play outside, but even if they don't go outside, they are more likely to move around and be active when screen time is not an option.
2. Nutrition
- Have healthy food available for snacks and included in meal times. If you pack your kids' school lunches, put a fruit and vegetable in their lunch instead of chips or cookies.
- Have your child involved in discussions about what fruits or vegetables or proteins they like to eat and include these in your family's snacks and meals more often.
3. Important Life Skills
- There are a lot of life skills that children need to learn, but some include: self-care such as bathing, dressing, and cleaning up after themselves, household chores, time management, money management, social skills, and much more.
- Model life skills that you want kids to learn. One way kids learn is by watching adults in their lives. Also, find ways to help your child practice these skills in ways that are fun and enjoyable. For example, have them help make a schedule for things they need to do in a day or make rewards for completing certain skills.
Healthy habits are learned from early on. It is never too late to start learning healthy habits. Start teaching your kids these now and they will have a head start on their future.
