Travelling south from our own beautiful Netherlands we come across the Burgundian country of Belgium. Famous for the Belgium chocolate, waffles, beers and the delicious fries. A Walhalla for food lovers. Well known in the world for the Capital of Europe Brussel. This wonderful country is so much more than that.
Belgium is located in the centre of Europe between France, Germany and The Netherlands. You will find beautiful beaches and boulevards to chill out and watch the people parade by in the South. In the North, the landscape changes and becomes greener and hilly. 'Ardenne' is the best place for an active holiday full of nature and excitement. Belgium also has many beautiful cities to discover during a city trip. It is full of history and the place to be to enjoy the Burgundian lifestyle.
The two main spoken languages are Dutch and French, but English is also well-spoken. It originates as a country around the roman period as Belgica. It only became independent from The Netherlands in 1830. The west part of Belgium, 'Vlaanderen', is the Dutch-speaking part. You will find cities such as Brugge, Ghent and Antwerp here. The French part 'Walonnie' is located near the French border. The biggest cities are Liege and Charleroi and it is especially known for the 'Ardenne'. The last district is the Brussel area. The Atomium, which is a symbol for the European Union, is one of the main tourist attractions of the city.
Belgium is worldwide famous for the Special Belgian craft beers. There are more than 200 small or bigger active breweries and (too) many different beers to choose from. Whether you like an authentic Trappist, a sweet and sour Kriekenbeer or a tasty and refreshing Ale; Belgium got you covered. Be sure to try more than one beer when you are staying in Belgium.
It is not hard to look for a chocolate shop when visiting Belgium as you will find plenty of them in the cities. The chocolate is often hand made and filled with the most delicious fillings. Our personal favourite are the chocolates of Dominique Persoone. He is an artist in inventing flavours combinations such as perfumed ganache with Havana cigar leaves or the Cabernet Sauvignon chocolate.
Another must-try are the fresh-baked waffles. Topped with strawberries and chocolate sauce the perfect breakfast, lunch or even midnight snack. The national pride are Belgium fries. Perfect double-backed fries for the perfect crunch made out of the best potatoes. Mostly served with a sauce of Belgium stew. A low budget and very tasteful meal.
Cartoons are also a national product like the flamish pride Jommeke, Tintin and Spike and Suzy. These drawings and of many of the local artist can be found on public buildings or walls in several cities. It is a fun way to explore the city and look for the next cartoon art on a building or brick wall.
We visit Belgium pretty often as we love the hospitality of the people and their delicious food. Antwerp is our favourite city to visit, but Genth is a good second option. Both cities that are not too big but vibrant and there is always something going on.
Wethether it is your first time in Belgium and you are looking for a guideline, or are you looking for the best hotspots and cities to visit? Check out our blogs to find your inspiration and local must see's.
we hope you will enjoy your this pretty and friendly little county as you will experience by yourself.

UCSF receives five-year grant to research personal assistance services for people with disabilities
The UCSF School of Nursing has received its second $4.25 million, five-year grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research to continue the work of the Center for Personal Assistance Services (PAS).
The funding, for which the school competed with other institutions nationwide, will enable UCSF to continue its research and training activities related to personal care services provided to people with disabilities.
"Being awarded this grant for the second time in a row is a testament to the important work that the Center for Personal Assistance Services has accomplished in the past five years," said Kathleen Dracup, RN, DNSc, dean of the School of Nursing. "We are excited about the progress we can make for people with disabilities in the next five years."
The Center will continue to study issues regarding the availability and quality of services provided by formal and informal caregivers to some 15 million people nationwide who need help performing activities of daily living, according to Charlene Harrington, PhD, RN, UCSF professor emerita of sociology and nursing, and the Center's director and principal investigator.
"The emphasis of our work is on providing support so that people with disabilities can live and work independently in their community, as opposed to being institutionalized in a nursing home," Harrington said.
In the last five years, research through the UCSF Center has determined a more fiscally feasible cost for such care than was previously estimated by the Congressional Budget Office for the Community Choice Act (CCA). The CCA would allow Medicaid to pay for home and community-based services, rather than solely placement in a nursing home, for those who qualify for nursing home level of care. Center research also found that wage levels for PAS workers fell behind those of comparable occupations and that health benefits are scarce and job turnover rates are high among workers.
Common services provided by a personal care attendant include help with bathing, eating, dressing, walking, taking medication and shopping for groceries, Harrington said.
The UCSF Center will continue to conduct research in workforce issues related to home-based and community care. Other research and training topics will include:
* Improving access to PAS for people with disabilities
* Strengthening the PAS workforce to support individuals who are employed or seeking employment
* Understanding the economics behind PAS, including the relationship among PAS, employment, employment supports, and assistive technology (assistive technologies are those products that improve or enhance the functional capabilities of those with disabilities)
The Center also will continue to seek guidance and feedback from the community by working with its advisory committee, which is composed of local and national PAS users, disability advocates, business leaders, independent living center directors and academics. In addition, the Center will collaborate with faculty members at the Burton Blatt Institute, InfoUse, PHI (formerly the Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute), Research Triangle Institute, and the Topeka Independent Living Resource Center, and will work with consultants at the University of Maryland, University of Michigan and the Cardiff Business School.
Since 1994, work conducted in the UCSF School of Nursing, and specifically in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the Institute for Health and Aging, has focused on research and advocacy issues facing people with disabilities. Harrington said the Center's faculty members are among the nation's leading researchers in their field, with decades of research and policy experience, hundreds of academic publications, and teaching experience in disability, health, long-term care, and policy studies.
Co-principal investigators for the Center include Steve Kaye, PhD, research director, and Mitch LaPlante, PhD, director, both of the UCSF Disability Statistics Center; Bob Newcomer, PhD, UCSF professor of sociology; and Lewis Kraus, MPH of InfoUse, a Berkeley-based firm specializing in technology that aids people with disabilities. Other UCSF faculty members include Susan Chapman, PhD, RN; Amy Houtrow, MD, MPH; Joe Mullan, PhD; and Taewoon Kang, PhD.
The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research is part of the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Services.
The UCSF School of Nursing leads the nation in nursing research, from heart disease and cancer to pain management and healthy aging. The School consistently ranks first in funding from the National Institutes of Health, as a testament to the caliber of that research. The School has graduated more than 10,000 nurses since inception of a UC nursing education program in 1907 and is considered among the foremost nursing schools in the world in training the next generation of nursing leadership.
UCSF is a leading university dedicated to promoting health worldwide through advanced biomedical research, graduate-level education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care.

This weekend is unique. Instead of making my way to a car meet in suburban Melbourne to take photos of the parked cars in your favourite industrial estate, I managed to find an event online that took me away from the city. The Gippsland Car Club is running a hill climb at Bryant Park this weekend, and although today was a practice day, I got a glimpse of the variety and speed to expect from the much larger field tomorrow.
Everything from little hot hatches, to the purpose built hill climb machine, even the practice runs were a mix of speed and excitement! This is the biggest batch of photos I've ever uploaded, surprising for my first time ever shooting some track action. Stay tuned to see what tomorrow holds.

One of my walking friends is Chinese. She travels a lot and hikes almost every week. She asked me if I knew what kind of birds were kept as pets in China. She often reads about gentlemen taking their caged bird along to the tea house where they would spend the day, reading, talking, and drinking tea. I realized I know a good deal about birds in Africa, South America, Australia, North America, India, and some parts of Asia. But almost nothing about birds in China.
There aren't many books available on the subject in English. Almost no web pages, and again those have the most interesting information in Chinese. But there is a web page with the most information available in English and Chinese, which has this link to a list of bird species found near Beijing. https://birdingbeijing.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/a-checklist-of-birds-of-beijing-2014.pdf
It appears the Chinese have the usual sport birds, pheasants and ducks and geese, but I had to look to Wikipedia to find out what exactly a smew could be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smew It's is a delicate-billed diving duck of stunning beauty. Both males and females are beautiful, but they don't look like they belong together. Storks, egrets, and herons populate the shores and lakes. Eagles, kites, and buzzards hunt in the open lands. Seven species of cranes spend at least some of the year in China.
Cuckoos and owls are numerous, but who would take one of those in a cage to a tea house? Even a tiny brown bird called a Lapland Longspur would be unlikely in that role. Do the tea drinkers prefer canaries? Warblers? Just which bird is preferred? http://www.transitionsabroad.com/publications/magazine/0501/bird_walking_in_hong_kong_china.shtml
This great short clip shows many different types of birds in little bamboo cages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUYjDXDzdEI And maybe that's the answer. A wide selection of birds could be used. There are many warblers on the list, and even one canary bird. There is a myna, but I can't imagine a myna being preferred for the noise it makes. Anyway, I love in the clip how the man reaches into the cage and feeds rice to the birds.
At last, I managed to enter a correct phrase into Google and got Silvereyes – and this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvVLF88BXQM However, Uncle Wiki thinks the Silvereye can only be found in Australia and related land masses there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT1SGbFlQDc I guess the internet isn't always correct. Of course, if you have a slightly different name for the species, then it works out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_white-eye
Thanks for reading, I'll be back on Sunday.

- Understand your organizations current D&I strengths and opportunities for improvement.
- Identify differences in employee and leadership perceptions of D&I.
- Provide direction on what your organization needs to do close the gap on diversity.
- Create a baseline for monitoring the effectiveness and progress of your organizations diversity initiatives.
- Garner employee ownership and involvement in the change process.
Once these changes are implemented, over time, organizations will see an increase in organizational performance and bottom line as a result of creating an inclusive workplace where employees are able to thrive. Not only will this retain employees, but it will make organizations attractive in the competitive market.

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.Whisk condensed milk and almond extract in a large bowl until combined. Pulse almonds in a food processor (about 10 quick pulses) until broken unto small pieces. Stir the almonds, coconut, 1/2 cup cranberries and 1/2 cup pistachios into the condensed milk mixture. Beat egg whites and salt in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Fold 1/2 cup of the egg whites into the coconut mixture. Add the remaining egg whites, gently folding into the mixture until just combined. Drop 1 teaspoon of dough onto a prepared baking sheet and top with another teaspoon of dough, making a double-tall macaroon. Repeat with the remaining batter, spacing the macaroons 1 inch apart. Bake the macaroons, switching the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through, until the coconut is lightly golden, 18 to 22 minutes (sweetened coconut will brown faster than unsweetened). Let cool on the pans on a wire rack until cool to the touch, 30 minutes. Optional garnish: Place 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave on Medium in 30-second bursts, stirring after each burst to ensure even melting, until completely melted. (Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water, stirring constantly.) Stir the remaining 1/4 cup chips into the melted chocolate until smooth. Drizzle or spoon the melted chocolate over the top of each cooled macaroon; sprinkle with cranberries and pistachios. Let the chocolate dry completely before storing or packing.

Teaching young learners is particularly rewarding and fun, but it can also be a lot of work, especially when you can't communicate with them in their native tongue. Whether you're teaching preschool or kindergarten, grade 1, or even classes at a training center, teaching young learners presents a special set of challenges. When I began teaching kindergarten I thought it would be easy, but it was much more of a challenge than I initially thought it would be.
However, I also found it incredibly rewarding. Young children are learning and growing by leaps and bounds every single day, and as their teacher you get to take an active role in their discovery process! Additionally, you get so much love and hugs. To help you skip past the fear and dread and zoom straight into adoration and awe, I've compiled some tips that helped me teach young children.
Your Body is Your Best Tool
When you are teaching young children, your body is your best tool. Remember, they can't understand much of what you say, but they understand your body movements. There are a number of ways you can use your body to engage better with kids, but the first and most important is to get on eye level with them.
Don't just stand at the front of the classroom; get up to each student and crouch so you're at eye level with them. Make sure you're having personal interactions with each student, even if it's a big class. This engages the students more, and it makes them pay attention. It also forges a connection between you.
It's also important to do big actions and be silly! Make funny faces, fall off your chair, walk like a penguin, be weird. Being silly makes you more approachable, and it also makes you more engaging. And a student who isn't engaged is a student who isn't learning. Using big body language also helps children understand you, especially when their English vocabulary is limited.
Bodies are important for students, too! Make sure there's lots of time for movement in your class. You can dance, do silly walks, touch your toes and stretch, and pat different body parts. This helps them get the wiggles out, and it also makes class more entertaining.
Use Rhythm and Rhyme
They say that humans are pattern-seeking creatures, and this can be seen especially in young learners. I use a lot of chanting and repetition in my class, and the children love it. Patterns are inherently comforting, and using chants and repetition is an easy way to give children the joy of learning what will come next.
You can use both visual and aural patterns in your classes. I teach colors, shapes, and patterns by cutting out different colors and shapes, and then creating patterns with them with the students (i.e. red circle, blue square, red circle, blue square). I also use clapping and stomping patterns where, for example, I clap a rhythm and they follow, to get students' attention at the beginning of class and to get them to refocus during class.
If you want to teach a new sentence structure, you can even march around the classroom while you chant the sentence to the beat of your steps. If you can get your students to focus enough, you can even have them clap or use percussive instruments while they walk around! By engaging their whole body and having them follow a pattern, you get them to focus more wholly and make it easier for them to learn.
Use Your Imagination
With young children, you have endless possibilities for discovery and creativity. You can play pretend, act, and use real-life objects and props to learn! I love acting out "scenes" with my young students to learn new sentence structures, and the students love getting a chance to act for their peers. Also, it's fun to use realia. If you're learning about fruit, bring some fruit in! If you're learning about clothes, bring in some sweaters and have students race to put them on!
Play is integral to children's learning processes, and the more fun and interesting you make your class, the more enriching it will be. Don't worry about being too silly or weird; the students will have a great time in whatever world you create in your classroom.
Independent play is also important for young learners. If you have the ability to decorate your own classroom, you can make it fun and inviting as well as interactive, inviting kids to explore independently! Velcro and felt are easy tools to create surfaces kids can play and learn with.
Don't Sweat It!
The most important part of teaching small children is just to have fun and not worry! If you're having a good time the kids will too, and they're sure to love you!

The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace — shortened to "Development and Peace" or D&P — is a jewel of social justice service to aid the Global South.
I witnessed their wonderful work on the ground on a familiarization trip to Ethiopia in 2013. Teams had dug wells to make clean water available to nearby poor communities. Soil management specialists had planted trees to prevent erosion. Relief workers had provided tools and seeds after drought conditions. Now resourced, local planning groups were ready to take their future in hand. D&P was instrumental in changing the prospects of some of the neediest people in the Horn of Africa.
With the blessing of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, D&P has been active for more than 50 years in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. D&P strikes partnerships with similarly motivated movements for justice and social solidarity.
In several instances, this has drawn criticism. Some journalists have brought to light that certain D&P partners seem to have entered into arrangements with partners of their own who not only advocate justice, but also take stances (for example, the promotion of contraception and abortion) contrary to the moral standards espoused by the Catholic Church.
This has resulted in a review led by D&P and assisted by CCCB staff and several bishops. Accordingly, they temporarily suspended funding for partners under examination. Thus, none of the funds raised in the annual Lenten collection taken on Solidarity Sunday would go to those partners. First, it must be clear that they respect the dignity of humans from conception to natural death.
Just as D&P would not knowingly participate with entities that were racist or opposed to the right of labourers to unionize, so D&P expects its partners to affirm the dignity of human life from the womb to the tomb.
During Lent this year, Development and Peace has taken up the challenge Pope Francis has given to Caritas International to make known the plight of migrants forced to flee their homelands. So, D&P comes to the support of refugees who live in camps caring for migrants, helping poor communities that share what little they have.
One of these efforts invites local projects to join in walking the circumference of the globe — slightly more than 40,000 kilometres! — in solidarity with the 68.5 million forced migrants worldwide.
On the afternoon of April 6, with Gatineau Archbishop Paul-André Durocher, I will take part in a Capital Region Walk. We welcome you to join us and heed Pope Francis's call to "Share the Journey" in a concrete way.
This solidarity experience will begin with a photo exhibition, a presentation by Archbishop Durocher on "Catholic Social Teaching and Forced Migration" and reflections by workers who engaged with the aggrieved who had to flee their homelands. It is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. at Notre-Dame-de-l'Île parish, 115 boulevard Sacré-Cœur in Gatineau. The walk will leave the church at 2:20 p.m. and terminate at Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica in Ottawa. There we will concelebrate a bilingual Mass at 5 p.m. to anticipate the Fifth Sunday of Lent, which is "Solidarity Sunday."
Through prayer, taking part in the Eucharistic celebration, Lenten sacrifices, alms, and other gestures of solidarity, we will learn to better love and serve the Lord Jesus.
I encourage you also to donate to D&P on Solidarity Sunday, April 7, the Fifth Sunday of Lent, to help build a more just world.
By hearing first-hand stories of forced migration and destitution, we pray that God may open our hearts during Lent and prepare us to celebrate the Paschal Mystery at Easter "with the joy of minds made pure."
Terrence Prendergast is Archbishop of Ottawa and Bishop of Alexandria-Cornwall.

For bikers, riding a motorcycle isn't just a hobby; it's a lifestyle. Motorcycle enthusiasts can list thousands of reasons for their passion, including the camaraderie, the sense of adventure, the ease of moving through traffic; the list goes on.
But, while motorcycles can be thrilling, they can also be dangerous—even for trained riders. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, on average, a motorcyclist dies in a crash on Texas roads every day. In addition, for the U.S. as a whole, motorcycles accounted for 4,976 fatalities and 88,000 injuries in 2015.
There are many contributing factors for motorcycle accidents. Listed here are the top five causes:
Failure to control speed. Motorists traveling at high speeds often mistake how fast they're moving, which can result in a severe accident. In fact, in 2015, one-third of all fatal motorcycle crashes in the U.S. were the result of speeding. In contrast—and just as important to note—slow driving can also cause motorcycle accidents. Motorcyclists should strive to keep up with the flow of traffic to avoid possible collisions.
Objects in the roadway. Potholes, uneven pavement, or objects in the road may be minor irritations for car drivers, but they can be a major threat to motorcyclists. They can cause the cyclists to swerve, which can easily result in an accident. In addition, if an object in the road is large enough and hits the cyclist, this can result in serious injury.
Drivers not seeing the motorcycle. Motorcycles are much smaller than cars, which means that they are also more easily hidden by objects on and off the road. These barriers could include other cars, road signs, the surrounding environment, and more. Often with motorcycle accidents that involve larger vehicles, drivers cite that they simply did not see the motorcycle prior to the crash.
Mechanical issues. A defect in a motorcycle's design or manufacturing can easily cause a dangerous accident. If this ever happens to you with your bike, it could be the basis for a product liability case.
Distracted or drunk driving. Whenever a motorist is engaged in an activity that removes their attention from operating the motorcycle (like texting, talking on the phone, or eating), it's considered distracted driving. Driving under the influence is estimated to be a factor in roughly one-third of all traffic deaths.
Some of these causes for accidents are out of human control, but others CAN be avoided. Listed here are a few tips on how to keep yourself safe on the road as a motorcyclist:
- Be aware, be focused, and be alert.
- Assume no car can see you.
- Keep your distance from cars.
- Be mindful of your speed.
- Maintain your motorcycle with regular mechanic visits.
- Wear a helmet (this won't prevent an accident, but it could save your life in the event of a crash).
Following these tips can help to alleviate many of the causes of motorcycle accidents listed above. Remember to stay safe, smart, and secure on the road.

In the long term, the USDCHF currency pair is trapped in the range between support 0.9440 and resistance near 1.0330. The bearish movement this year lead the price from resistance to support. However, as you can see, this trend was stopped in October, when the downward trend line was broken.
At the end of November, the aforementioned trend line was tested as new support, and additionally coincides with horizontal support close to 0.9770. As a result of a positive test, there was a rebound from the support that still applies.
Last week can be considered as a break in the upward movement after the rebound, since the quotations were moving within the range of trade that was in force a week earlier. This led to the formation of the inside bar.
If the quotations are to continue to move in a wide range, it is expected to break the top of the formation of the inside bar and move towards the key resistance at 1.0330. On the other hand, in the case of a breakout to south, the sellers will have to deal with horizontal support at 0.9770.

Published June 24, 2009, in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle, "Book follows life of man who hunts with falcons."
2014 Update: The Greater Sage-Grouse has not been listed as of yet. Energy exploration and development continues but Wyoming has put in place core areas where they are protected.
Falconer on the Edge, A Man, His Birds, and the Vanishing Landscape of the American West, by Rachel Dickinson, 2009, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 220 pages, hardcover, $24.
By Barb Gorges
Rachel Dickinson examines the life of hardcore falconer Steve Chindgren in her new book, Falconer on the Edge. For several months of each fall Chindgren lives in a cabin in southwestern Wyoming, near Eden, to hunt sage grouse with his falcons every day. Dickinson researched the book by making a number of trips to Eden. She recently responded to questions by email.
Question: When you decided to learn about falconry from somebody besides your husband, Tim Gallagher (author of "The Grail Bird" and "Falcon Fever"), were you thinking as a freelance writer or were you more concerned about getting a handle on your husband's obsession?
Dickinson: I really wanted to understand what was going on and did think it would make a great book but I guess rather than stress the relationship by learning about the sport from Tim, I decided to go further afield and find the most hardcore of the hardcore falconers. And all roads led toward Steve Chindgren.
Question: How would you handle it if Tim, like Steve, decided he was going to fly birds in the middle of nowhere for several months every year?
Dickinson: As Steve's wife, Julie, told me, she knew that this was the way Steve was when she married him. So whenever there was a fork in the road or a choice to be made falconry always won. If Tim decided that this was what he really wanted to do with his life I would say, "See you later and have a nice life." I think Tim's obsession is a bit more under control.
Question:Did you develop a taste for sage grouse? No catch and release for falconry, huh?
Dickinson: We always ate what the falcons caught. Sage grouse has a strong sage taste but if you take the breast meat and marinate it and then throw on the grill for a few minutes — not too long because the meat is so lean — it's darn yummy. What we didn't eat, the falcons ate.
Question: Energy development in Wyoming is a subplot in your book, the menace lurking in the background, taking sage grouse before Steve's birds can. How did that come about?
Dickinson: I spent a couple of years going to Wyoming for a week or so at a time and I saw enormous change just over those two years. I knew early on that the changing landscape due to energy exploration would be a strong sub-plot in the book — it had to be because it affected everything that Steve loved.
Question:The local Audubon chapter showed Steve's sage grouse film which supports sage grouse conservation. Does his obsession with falcons carry over to sage grouse?
Dickinson: Steve knows more about the natural history of the sage grouse than probably most wildlife biologists working out in the field. When he's not flying his birds he's driving around checking on the grouse — looking for leks, looking for wintering grounds, looking for evidence of bird strikes on fences — because if you don't really understand the prey species, you can't really understand how to be a falconer. He's as hardcore about the sage grouse as he is about his falconry because it's a part of his falconry experience.
Question: What does Steve think he'll do if they are listed as threatened or endangered?
Dickinson: If the sage grouse gets listed, Steve says he's going to fly his birds on jack rabbits — that will require a real paradigm shift for him since he's hunted sage grouse for so long. He loves his spot in Wyoming and is determined to keep it as a falconry lodge so he's got to do something. I know he's just hoping and praying it doesn't come to that.
Question: Did you have trouble adapting to the open spaces around Eden?
Dickinson: I come from the northeast where everything is pinched in with hills and gorges and lakes and streams so it took me a little while to get used to all that space. Once that happened there was no looking back. What a fabulous place. I miss it and hope to get back there, maybe this fall for the annual grouse dinner at Steve's cabin.

Are you a Spender or Saver?
By Kirsi Gentille
Can you be both?
I am here to tell you..YES you can. I know, because I am BOTH…I love to save and spend. And when I combine the two at the same damn time… I feel like Superwoman I get such adrenaline rush. So before I make a purchase, I try to find ways to save like most people I price match online and look for coupons. I'm always thinking to myself how can I save on the things I want, need, and must buy.
So I am a big believer in "Finding your Balance" in all areas of our lives. I preach about this when I am giving weight loss & nutrition tips to my clients. I encourage them to balance their meal plan, and to create healthy and delicious meals without feeling restricted. Like having a burger without the bun and substitute french fries for a side salad. But I believe we should apply "Balance" in all areas of our lives including our finances, spending, and saving just to name a few.
One thing I have been really focusing on the last couple of months has been budgeting and money management. It sounds boring, but let me tell you when you create a system where you have a plan to help you, pay off your debt, save long term & short term. Things start to get pretty exciting. The most frustrating thing is not knowing where your money went, what you spent it on and not having enough money for the week. I have learned that It's our responsibility to give every single dollar we earn a role, a job, and a place.
By following this new system, I already started to save for this year's Mothers Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Once my bills are paid and I have set money aside for my savings categories like the one I mentioned above. Then, I set aside:
These are the categories I budget for:
Groceries ~ I got really serious last year about saving money on my groceries. I have a binder which includes worksheets I created for Freezer & Fridge Inventory, Pantry Inventory checklist, Monthly Meal Planner, Weekly Meal Menu, Family Favorite Recipes. I realized that by knowing what I have in stock, it helps me see things more clear. You know what you need, What's close to expiring( I had food that had expired in 2017! YIKES).
You will keep track of what you are running low on and what you don't need to buy. This helps you save soo much money, I can't tell you how many duplicates I had of items I barely even use.
Lastly, I follow my monthly meal plan system which is mainly based on what I have in stock, and I buy meat once a month at Costco. So I create recipes around these 2 factors. This new routine has really helped me save money, save time, and save on food.
Herbalife Products ~ Yes, I budget for my Herbalife products too. If you are in any weight management program you know, you need to purchase your monthly supply of supplements and products. Even if you are just juicing, you need to have on hands your fruits, vegetable and other enhancers. Being that I use Herbalife's meal replacement shakes every day as my morning breakfast, and I drink the Herbalife Tea Concentrate which gives me tons of energy, boosts my metabolism, and helps me burn calories. I save over $15 a day, My Herbalife products cost me less than $5 a day! YESSS honey. It helps that I am a distributor I get these products at a super discount. But even before I was a distributor when I was a regular member just using the products to lose weight the products cost me under $6 a day which made them super affordable. That's why now that I always recommend to my clients if they want to save money becoming a Preferred Member will maximize your savings. Herbalife is the company I use and refer to my clients. To learn more about Herbalife checkout my article "The Beginners Guide to starting Herbalife Nutrition."
Fun & Restaurants ~ Having some money set aside for fun & restaurants gives you something to look forward to. At first, I struggled with creating limits and found it hard not to dip into my other funds. But once I learned that everything I am doing is for a BIGGER purpose, it made me more disciplined. You have to keep your WHY always in mind to help you stay focused. As you reach your goals, your WHY will change , maybe you want to pay off debt, save for a home, a car or even vacation. You will have to sacrifice and cut back, perhaps not eat out as much or cut back on hanging out and going places you know you will be tempted to spend. At first, it will be hard, but remember that everything is temporary and as you reach your goals you will be able to restructure your budget and lifestyle giving you FREEDOM and less restrictions.
Beauty, Hair, and Nails ~This right here is everything for us DIVAS that need to go to the hair & nail salon every week or every other week. I set aside the exact amount that I will spend including tips. YUP, I love it! This category is one of my favorites to budget for because it allows me to beautify myself and have funds for all my beauty maintenance.
Misc Spending ~ This category is for anything misc that comes up, you know life is so unpredictable. Every week something we did not expect will sneak up on us and BOOM ruing our budgeting…But when you have a misc budget, it really does help save the day. Trust me you will have No Problem Attitude.
Gas ~ This is one of those things you need to have money for because without gas in our cars we will not get very far. This is just making sure your gas tank is full and always funded. One less thing to think about.
So these are my main spending categories I know this may seem intense, But this system has given me the freedom to spend without feeling guilty. Because I know that whatever I spend, I have already planned for it and set that money aside specifically for it. So it feels amazing to see my savings fund grow, my bills paid off, and all while I am still living life within my budget. And I love it!
If you would like for me to show you my money management system. Leave me a YES below. Stay tuned I will have an article sharing with you my financial binder, worksheets, tips, and how I give every dollar a place to serve.
I would love to know, How do you budget and Save?
I hope you enjoyed and found value in the information I provided above. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
I am always, here to help.

Effectively Supporting a Wheelchair User
- Written by News Company
Any kind of disability is unfortunate and difficult to come to terms with for the patient and their loved ones. For a wheelchair user, accessibility is the biggest issue. As a caregiver, you can assist the patient to lead a more dignified, convenient and independent life. The patient would not be bound to the wheelchair all day long. They would require transfers to the bed or to the car. They may be able to stand up and use braces or a walker for short distances. They may require assistance to use the bathroom or to get up from the bed.
There are various kinds of manual and power wheelchairs available in the market. With technological advances in the mobility industry, electric wheelchairs are becoming more and more customizable to suit the patient's special needs. They provide more independence, comfort and ease of use. Go through the best tips for buying an electric wheelchair to make the most informed decision for yourself or your loved one.
If you are a caregiver, colleague or friend of a wheelchair user, you must keep these things in mind -
Know about wheelchair safety – Before offering to help someone, make sure you can take the weight of the chair and the person. Many people suffer from back and muscular injuries if they are not fit to push, lift or transfer the patient. Do not hesitate to seek help. You can cause more harm than good if you don't know what you're doing.
Learn how to push and lift a wheelchair – Learn the techniques of pushing, positioning, lifting and directing a wheelchair properly, before you help someone. Skidding and tripping hazards are a great risk on slippery or sloped surfaces. Practice speed control, maneuvering through obstacles and adjusting to the centre of gravity of the chair to prevent jerky movement.
Ask to offer help – Do not assume that everyone in a wheelchair requires help. Seek permission. Not all wheelchair users are wheelchair-bound. Some can walk for short distances, some can stand, and yet others only use wheelchairs to get from point A to B. Some wheelchair users also use modified cars and scooters and can drive efficiently.
Indoor and outdoor usage – Most indoor wheelchairs are not meant to be used on rough terrain. Outdoor wheelchairs that are made for travel and portability can handle ramps and kerbs well but may not have the comfort of extra cushioning and padding. Know the wheelchair type to help the user maneuver indoors and outdoors with ease.
Posture improvement – It is crucial that the patient maintains a healthy wheelchair posture. They're probably leading a more or less sedentary lifestyle. Take care of seating and positioning in such cases and ensure that the seat size is appropriate, the recline is comfortable, and their weight is spread out evenly. Also, remind the patient to avoid a forward neck posture with hunched shoulders. The headrest, backrest and armrests must be positioned for optimal comfort.
Never touch the wheelchair – For someone with a disability, a wheelchair is an extension of themselves. Leaning on its armrest, touching its back, moving or repositioning it without permission is bad wheelchair etiquette and an offensive invasion of someone's privacy and personal space. And of course, you must never sit in someone's wheelchair, mess with its settings or drag it around when it is not in use.
It is important that you respect the wheelchair user and work with them instead of assisting them in your own way without their active involvement. They're the best judge of their comfort and with efficient handling, your support can help them function freely and safely.

Fast Ringers keen to extricate themselves from the Windows Insider programme have missed their chance for a quieter life as Microsoft booted them into the 2020s with build 18875.
Before today, Microsoft's platoon of unpaid Fast Ring testers could have switched away without needing a reinstall, but no more. Like the vampire of yore, if the 20H1 build is allowed over the threshold, there will be no going back without a stake to the heart of your PC.
Slow Ring Windows 10 fragged by anti-cheat software in the games you're playing at work, says Insiders supremoREAD MORE
With release still a year or more away, there isn't much to get excited about, unless Chinese Simplified Input Method Editors (IMEs) Pinyin and Wubi are your thing. Fresh from updating the Japanese IME in the May update, Microsoft has turned its attention to China. New IMEs, which the software giant describes as more secure and reliable, can now be used for Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
Unfortunately, that pesky issue with games containing anti-cheat code remains. Microsoft has continued to dump the problem firmly at the door of publishers and suggests users ensure they are running the latest versions of their games before having a crack at 20H1, or face the prospect of a possible Green Screen of Death.
It also looks like the curse of the installer has struck once again. Some Insiders are reporting that the build chokes early on in the setup process and Microsoft has acknowledged that something is up and, er, wants feedback. It appears the issue occurs mainly when moving from 19H1 to 20H1, so perhaps its just that the May 2019 Update simply won't let go.
Our sacrificial Windows 10 machine had no such issues.
Where's Wally 19H2?
Sadly, among the sea of Windows 10 patches, updates and testing rings, the red and white-striped jersey and bobble hat of Windows 10 19H2 (or 1909 if you prefer) remains inexplicably absent.
Microsoft has remained tight-lipped about the release, saying only that it'll talk about it "later". It has become a can kicked down the road with a deftness that would impress even the most Brexit-bothering UK Prime Minister.
The silence on the matter is both bewildering and frustrating for Insiders, particularly considering the dependence Microsoft has on its army of freebie Windows testers.
Daily delight for Edge
Still, 19H2 aside, Microsoft has come good on its promise to push out daily builds of its Chromium-based browser for those hardy canaries. Now up to version 126.96.36.199, New Edge is clearly the subject of quite the development push, with tweaks to functionality already arriving on users' desktops.
While users of competing browsers and many open-source projects may snort, having had the option to take daily builds for years, it is a big change within the halls of Redmond. ®

David and Victoria Beckham quietly sell their Beverly Hills pad for $47m
By Rachael Martin|
It's been their base in LA for 11 years, but the Beckhams have decided to part with their Italian-style Beverly Hills mansion in a quiet $46.7m sale shrouded in secrecy.
Bought in 2007 just after David Beckham signed a five-year deal to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy team, the couple and their children have called the six-bed, nine-bath property home in America for the best part of a decade.
David and Victoria reportedly purchased the 13,000 square foot, H-shaped villa for US$22m, so are set to have made around a $14m profit selling the property on.
The compound became the perfect retreat for the famous family when they first relocated to the States, with plenty of landscaping and wrought iron gates protecting the private property from prying eyes and paparazzi.
The Beckham children went to school in LA while the family lived and worked over in the US, calling the sprawling property with a pool, library and media and music room home.
However, in recent years the family have been based more frequently in London, with Victoria Beckham even showing her latest collection at London fashion week for the first time and hosting a raucous party in collaboration with Vogue where she was filmed dancing along to one of her old Spice Girls hits whilst standing on a sofa.
Former footballer David, 43, is also no longer based in LA, and is now working more often in Miami after bringing a Major League Soccer team to Florida.

The family spent time at the Beverly Hills property as recently as April this year, when Victoria shared a sweet snap of her daughter Harper painting in the garden.
However, TMZ speculates that David and Victoria have decided to sell the property after the family no longer used it as much as they used to, with the villa sitting empty for long periods of time.Read more: David and Victoria Beckham make 'unhappy' discovery at their country estate

Very cool concept! Congrats! The picture really adds a great touch point. A friend of mine, Jonathan Kumar, founded a company here in Grand Rapids, Michigan called FoodCircles, which solves this problem in a similar fashion. I feel like it'd be great for the two of you talk. Let me know if you'd like to get in touch with him!

@itsnajeeb No problem Najeeb!
How do I get this into the restaurants in my local area? I'm british.
@samcambridge Hey Sam, thanks for reaching out. We're only in Toronto, Canada at this moment and hope to expand out soon.
I like it! Is the restaurant ad that is shown with the picture of the meal what cover the cost of the donated meal? Or are the participating restaurants doing a discount for you? Good luck in Toronto...bring it to SF soon please!
@tylerswartz Hey Tyler, thanks. The restaurant covers the cost of the meal. They select dishes and decide what menu items will give back. Anytime you buy that particular menu item, you get that meal and you'll be giving a meal to someone in need (paid by restaurant)

Horse Heaven Hills
I have been traveling and took this picture in the Horse Heaven Hills this week. The Horse Heaven Hills are a continuous set of east-west trending ridges that extend from the Cascade Range to the Blue Mountains across southern Washington. As can be seen in the picture, these hills are aptly named. The hills supported large horse populations for local First Nations including the Yakimas, Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla and Nez Perce. Even today on the western end of the hills a remnant herd reported at 5,000 horses (wild-horses-and-prairie-in-sky) roams these hills. The hills are green very late this year due to the higher rainfall and cool spring temperatures.

Colors, how beautiful are they!
Colors, how attractive are they!
Colors, how vibrant are they!
Beauty, lively, joy, the mere sight of colors brings a lot of positivity. One could not imagine stepping into life without colors. The beauty of every month can be defined with color and the month of May calls in black.
Black color game is going strong with this shade. The color of strength can be worn in a lot of ways.
Whether it is for an office meeting or a formal event or a family function, black is the easiest way out and it makes you look slim so definitely the color is on the priority list while we think to go for shopping.
From wearing a classy LBD to the long live black palazzo, from a quintessential black t-shirt to sexy black skirts, from blending your dress with black accessories to matching it with black heels, dear girls we can carry it in every possible way. Even showing the essence of the color by carrying a black handbag with you can make you look wow.
The color has equal fame among men as well. From black t-shirts to shirts, from black trousers to black quotes, the color is available in almost every kind of clothes. Men can even show-off this shade by wearing black color shoes, belt or even black watch will do.

The American Heart Association is reminding people that winter weather and common activities such as snow shoveling can increase a person's risk of a heart attack. The combination of colder temperatures and physical exertion increases the heart's workload.
Heart-related incidents and deaths occur more often in winter.
People who are outdoors in cold weather should avoid sudden exertion, such as lifting a heavy shovel packed with snow. Even just walking through heavy, wet snow or snow drifts can strain the heart because most people are not conditioned to the physical stress of simple activities when temperatures drop.
The American Heart Association reminds the public to prepare for the outdoors, even if it is just a few minutes of exposure to the cold weather, by wearing layers of clothing. Air is trapped between layers, forming a protective insulation for your body. Also, wear a hat or head scarf as body heat can be lost through the head, and ears are especially prone to frostbite. Wear gloves or mittens on your hands and thick socks on your feet as hands and feet also tend to lose heat rapidly. Always change out of wet clothing. Dressing improperly can lead to hypothermia, a potentially deadly problem that means the body temperature has fallen below 95 degrees. It occurs when your body cannot produce enough energy to keep the internal body temperature warm enough.
Children and the elderly are at special risk in winter weather as well as people with a history of heart-related problems.
To help make snow removal safer, the American Heart Association offers these practical tips for heart-safe snow shoveling and outdoor activities:
· Give yourself a break. Take frequent rest breaks during shoveling so you don't overstress your heart. Pay attention to how your body feels during the breaks.
· Don't eat a heavy meal prior or soon after shoveling. Eating a large meal can put an extra load on your heart.
· Use a small shovel or consider a snow thrower. The act of lifting heavy snow can raise blood pressure acutely during the lift. It is safer to lift smaller amounts more times, than to lug a few huge shovelfuls of snow. When possible, simply push the snow.
· Learn the heart attack warning signs and listen to your body, but remember this: Even if you're not sure it's a heart attack, have it checked out (tell a doctor about your symptoms). Minutes matter! Fast action can save lives — maybe your own. Don't wait more than five minutes to call 9-1-1
· Don't drink alcoholic beverages before or immediately after shoveling. Alcohol may increase a person's sensation of warmth and may cause them to underestimate the extra strain their body is under in the cold.
· Be aware of the dangers of hypothermia. Heart failure causes most deaths in hypothermia. To prevent hypothermia, dress in layers of warm clothing, which traps air between layers forming a protective insulation. Wear a hat because much of your body's heat can be lost through your head.

Did you know that climate-related disasters are happening more frequently worldwide? This is an effect of climate change — a phenomenon which scientists say is the result of our decades of unsustainable consumption of the Earth's natural resources.
The monumental issue of climate change has caused an increase in innovative action to reduce its negative effects. Some people try to embrace a zero-waste lifestyle while others lessen or even eliminate their consumption of meat and animal byproducts. Just last week, on September 20, 2019, millions of people took part in the beginning of a week-long global climate strike; a protest for climate inaction.
While the search for a solution to the climate problem is still ongoing, even the smallest of efforts matter. At Saint Louis University – Madrid (SLU – Madrid), students are given many opportunities to volunteer in the interest of the environment.
The ecological struggles of Robledo de Chavela
News that large portions of the Amazon rain forest were on fire sparked concern and outrage worldwide in August. Last week, wildfires spread in Indonesia and caused the skies to turn red. These are not isolated cases. Increased temperatures, drought, and deforestation all contribute to increasing the risk of forest fires. However, human perpetrators can sometimes cause these fires as well.
Years ago, the hills of Robledo de Chavela were brimming with life and biodiversity. It had a variety of plant life which made it the ideal habitat for plenty of animals. Unfortunately, these trees were eventually cut down and replaced solely with pine trees. Resin was collected from these pine trees and then sold for profit. Since not all live previously supported by the area could be sustained by pine trees alone, Robledo de Chavela lost its biodiversity.
Afterwards, the area fell victim to the actions of a disgruntled cattle rancher. The man reportedly started the fire — which would eventually grow large enough to consume 1,200 hectares of Robledo de Chavela's trees and scrubland — after being fined for taking his cattle there.
Students volunteer for the environment
Earth science professor Mónca Pérez-Bedmar accompanied 20 students who decided to aid in the restoration of Robledo de Chavela. The volunteers were made up of students from Professor Pérez-Bedmar's Introduction to Oceanography class, SLU – Madrid's Human Rights Club, and Ecological Restoration students from the Universidad Aútonoma de Madrid. Visiting students from the SLU Campus in St. Louis and the University of San Francisco, Maude Wilkinson and Adriana Wong respectively, also wanted to volunteer for the environment.
After the fire, the Robledo de Chavela was identified as one of the most protected reservations within Madrid. Restoration projects are already in progress for the area. Mountain engineers have begun efforts to rehabilitate the area through planting oak and pine saplings.
The SLU – Madrid volunteers were first tasked with recording the progress of the saplings which were previously planted in the area. Everyone started at the top of the hill and slowly made their way down, carefully noting each and every tree that would cross their path. When they were done recording the data, the following results were revealed: 253 healthy pines, 92 healthy oaks, and 450 empty holes were noted on the hill.
With time left to spare, the volunteers planted a few more saplings. Since they just missed the best time to plant the saplings, the volunteers were instructed to place a group of saplings in a small area by the river in order to maximize the chances of survival.
Designated project managers are to return every week to the area, overseeing restoration efforts and taking care of the new plants.
Never too small to make a difference
Saint Louis University – Madrid often holds events that encourage its students to volunteer. The school upholds the Jesuit tradition of holistic learning: for the mind, body, and spirit. Students at SLU – Madrid know that their individual actions combined can contribute to change. In the words of Greta Thunberg: "You are never too small to make a difference."
