This is What Happens When Your Goals are Not Bigger and SMARTER
Do you have a SMART Goals or Just Bigger Goals? Here's what I have noticed. We set bigger goals, but not SMARTer.
Goals and Goal Setting involves establishing specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-targeted ( SMART Goals ). But, let's do a reality check of my goals (past and present).
This blog post was written as the direct results of following external factors:
- Chat with my friend
- Books – Steve Jobs and So good They Can't Ignore You
Here is my story about my past and future goals in my life.
High School
- When I was in 10th Grade, my goal was to become a Doctor.
- When I was in 12th Grade, my goal was to become a Doctor.
- I was asked to become an Engineer, and so I got admitted into Engineering College.
- When I was in Frist year of Engineering, still my goal was to quit Engineering and become a Doctor.
- 2nd year to 4th year of Engineering school, my goal was to attend Graduate School in the USA.
- I complete Engineering with First Class and Distinction (above 75% without backlogs)
- After completing Engineering, I was getting used to the being an Engineer.
Graduate School
- First 2 Semesters was to graduate MS with 4.0 GPA
- 3rd semester to graduation, goal was to get an internship and full-time job.
I received time job offer, before my last semester at school started. I had got my H1B before I graduated from Masters Degree.
Most of my goals were focused on what I wanted 2 years from now. Do you think my goals looks like your current goal? When I started working full-time, my exposure towards life gave new insights. I started meeting new people, who had much bigger goals in their life.
I was thinking regarding how to pay my rent and buying a home with huge mortgage. They were thinking how to create the business, how to be the true knowledge worker, and what would be their next investment. So, my goals started getting bigger. But, this time, instead of 2 years, I was thinking five years from now. I added timeline and list of things I have to do reach my goals. I created Massive Action Plan ( as Tony Robbins says).
Why Set the Lower Goals?
Now, you have read my story, let's get into why I started writing this article. As I said before; two reasons influenced me to write this post.
- Chat with my friend (2 months back)
- Books – Steve Jobs and So good They Can't Ignore You
Chat My Friend
I was chatting with my friend about his plans, who is working for Software firm in India. I realized, the massive difference in our thinking and expectations from life and goals.
I asked him, "Why not set a higher goal?".
His said, "I would like to have higher goals, but with my exposure and environment, I have set goals that I think is high enough for me".
I would have set a similar goal if I was back in India. I realized the influence of living in America.
Impact of the Books
I have set my goal which is much Bigger and Higher. I wanted to build something that gives me "kick". I wanted to help others. I just don't to have a 9-5 job and be content with life and be reactive to what life throws at me.
While reading this first chapter of the book Steve Jobs, I realized, his goals were much higher and more significant while he was in High School. His parents knew he was Smart; Special and Intellectually gifted. They gave him the opportunity to bring out the best in him. They encouraged his curious mind to explore.
While reading some comments at Graduates from India – Higher in quantity, but little in Quality, it is very clear that our goal setting is greatly influenced by our parents and people we surround ourselves with.
How big is your goal?
Who influenced your goal setting process?
Is your goal is smaller and similar to my goal from school, college days?
Most of you, reading this post will have goals like: getting to MS, Finding a good job and I consider them to smaller goals. Really?
- I want to complete Masters Degree from U.S.A and get a good paying job.
- I want to earn in U.S. dollars
- I want to settle in America.
If you are limiting yourself to reach only the next target, you are going to be reactive to your environment. Just like I how was in High School and College. Do you think being reactive to life is good enough for you?
Maybe you want to live an American Dream ( Have a Job, Buy a Car and Home). Is that good enough for you?
I Came to Realize that.. SMART GOALS works
So, while reading the book Steve Jobs, I realized, all these years, my goal was limited and small. I was making myself valuable by being reactive to what the world is throwing at me.
Coming to the USA for Graduate School is not a simple task. So many students graduate every year in India; only a handful get an opportunity to come to the US for education. But, after completing the education, I feel that my goal should have been much bigger. I shouldn't have stopped at just "Completing MS in the USA".
My Cousin brother went to the USA, after completing Engineering. So, they helped shape my goal, while I was in College. My parents wanted me to have a good American education.
I realized, my goals could have been much bigger, if my exposure towards life, society was larger and better. I was surrounded by friends, who all had the goal of going to the USA. That was the biggest goal. But today world is a different place. Access to information is at our fingertips. Exposure, which you and I have about the external world, has improved drastically.
When the world has changed a lot, why do you still want to have smaller goals. If your target is to come to the USA for Higher Education, I have following questions for you.
What do you want to do after completing MS?
How do you see yourself, 5 years from now?
Would be happy working for an employer with 9-5 job?
I hope, your goals are much bigger that being an employee with a 9-5 job.
My Suggestions
Don't limit your goals to just getting a degree. Expand you thinking beyond what you are asked to do by you parents or relatives. If your parents have reached say step 3 in an Economic Life Ladder, then don't try just to reach Step 4. Why not set your goals to reach Step 8 or beyond. Make them SMART Goals.
If your dad is a Government employee or small business owner, it's a big step-up for them to pay for your US education. You might be the first person in the family to plan and study abroad. But, why to limit your goal to a just degree in the USA and a decent paying job. Don't do the same mistake I did. Set your goals much higher and work towards that.
I haven't listed any concrete example what your goals beyond a degree and job should be. But, I will leave it to you pick one. But, don't settle for less. Don't be reactive to your environment.
Can you list what is your current goal, who influenced it and how you can make it bigger and smarter.

Nice article… This blog is very informative. I'm following HSB atleast for last few years and but stopped for last 9 months due to my busy schedule. Again I started reading updates from past one month. I still don't see any change in Raghu's approach or the way he tries to stress on important factors which are essential for students to survive succeed and realise their dream run in US. I don't know how he manages his daily schedules but the content what we get in this blog is huge and one shall spend lot of time to publish as a tailor made one.
And I want share my opinion with students who failed to get admissions in US schools or someone who fail to raise funds or whose dream destination is US but couldn't manage to realise your dreams…
Because I'm one who falls in the same category…
Will post an article about my experiences with the help of Mr. HSB
U mention one steve jobs book..
Is it steve jobs biography..??
Thanks for writing such a good article.
Great article, I believe everyone should have a passion which will turn into goals and work towards achieving it. God help us all.
thank u for the valuable information/advice….
I did my engg in Manipal Institute of Tech.
I just got admit in Michigan Ann Arbor for industrial engg.
my goal is to complete ms and then do a job for 3 years. after that i want a MBA from Harvard.
does 12th marks effect your admission to MS abroad?hw much % should i score in b.tech?
Very good post. But I really wished if you could have touched on some strategies for making dreams happen (may be its awaited in your next post :)). It takes nothing to dream but everything to make it happen. And I have been seeing this talk about choosing engineering over medicine, it happens with many agreed (I stand in the same track too). Is that the end? No! As you and me have overcome it, so will everyone if they wish to. I said this just because I still find many people who didn't get your real intention of that comment. Weigh your interests more than advises. That's the weigh to go. All this can be done just by asking your self a simple question.
nice motivational talk u did…gud..!!
well i being a mediocre getting 70% in 12th. and managing 75 in btech…neva ever thought of abroad…
But u know what….life smetimes brings you an angel who motivates to thnk big…I had mine..! Thanks to that angel…that today i am thanking way beyond what my peers or my family people could even imagine..!
that is what its all about….MOTIVATION..! 🙂
Indeed aspiring and motivating. But there will be still many thinking how to start up with limited resources and small hurdles which will stop them to move and aspire big….need to have ideas on how to move ahead with limited resources and also for subjects different from medicine and engineering…My Goal and Dream is to manage a huge live concert in US as i am into Events in India and planning to do my masters but still not sure as i hardly find blogs on my subject and scope for it..Please guide..Thanks
You see a problem, I see an opportunity. Instead of saying, I don't find any blogs in the subject, why not you create a blog and share your learning curve? Instead of looking to find a resource, you be the resources.
Spoon feeding is the thing that comes to my mind reading your above reply. We people have cultivated this habit right from our childhood. Easy access to things restricts us to be our own resource and depend on others.
Hi HSB (would love to address by ur name though),
An inspirational post. Thought inspiration in the form of physical and virtual presence is abundant, only a few inspire us and push us into acting on them. One such is Mr. Steve Jobs. Like many I didn't pay attention to Apple thinking it to be a diff league than MS and its products. Little did I know about Jobs then. Few years ago (probably 1 and 1/2 a year ago) I came across the 2005 Stanford commencement speech, and man-o-man it has changed my life now. In a bid to realize my dream, I had quit my high-paying, stressful, servile job of a Engineer Consultant from the major network device manufacturer. I am now joining an organisation where in my journey to realize the dream / goal starts. If it were not for my dreams I would have stayed there as an underdog all my life.
GOALS and HOPE are the two things that are very critical in a human's life. They can take you through a coaster ride landing u high or make u land square on ur face. But either way that ride will be adventurous and the lessons learnt are priceless. It puts not only the individual in a higher place, but also the nation and the man-kind.
Let's be courageous and pursue our dream. GOALS / DREAMS are good and are to be pursued.
thats a great post…. dream big but make sure we work hard to make it a reality. God bless you
Hello Sir!!
First of al i would like to thank you. All these days, i was in a bit confusion and not dat confident what i am. Now, i feel better. Thanks for helping me to discover the real ME* in me! 🙂
BTW, Good post.
Hi HSB,
Nice post from your end. Seems like all our friends are trying to share their goals and few accepted that they don't have any and yet to set…. I really appreciate people who said they do not have any goals. Because they all are speaking or writing frankly. Not everyone speaks truth every time. Lets not debate on this…
Coming to my goals – 1) I use to dream of becoming Geologist in my child-hood since I like geography a lot. But failed due XYZ circumstances. 2) Then started thinking about becoming a cricketer and due to Injury in a zonal match my parents requested (banged in fact) me to take-off this one option from my career prospects. There are few more but not so important to discuss since they are also part of my failed ideasss…..
So this time after working for 4 successful years in Investment Banking now I set-up a goal to do my MS from good school. But after that I want to set-up an organization in Hyderabad and hire my current Boss (Hari Sadu) and I want to become his BOSS. Guys i'm serious and i'll make it happen down the line 5 years. Do not count me as immature kid.
I really want to set-up a company with a very good culture where people should feel proud to work for my organization. Which should be a true Indian brand which represents in International platform. And should be a proper work place for any individual where their role should be challenging and not the environment. Believe me there are MNCs here which lacks all the above menioned qualities. Where productivity drives employees and quality lacks.
What ever it may be… Lets stop this here and I wish i'll make this happen in 5 yrs from now.
Friends just wish me all the best!!!
Awesome Man. Good luck. You have to start planning about how to setup company, tax issues, capital, etc.
Good luck Vamsi. It is a good thing to be able to face our disappointments, overcome them and move on rather than living in a world of self pity and blame circumstances around us for the rest of our life which keeps us from progress. I hope you are able to achieve all that you have just described above. I hope you become Hari Sadu's boss. 🙂
Good Luck Vamsi. I hope and pray that dreams like these come into action soon and the brand India is hoisted high in the sky.
What you prefer as being an L.Y Computer Engineer?
1) TCS 2-year Job(which i have in my hand) after that MS in USA and at last Business like you described…
or 2) Direct MS in US and than returning India for last goal…
I think this is the biggest problem and confusion for student who got placement and had GRE clear with good marks…
I like if HSB and friends suggest me a good solution ….Thank You
This is what I would do.
1) MS in USA
2) Work 2 Years in USA
3) Business.
Thank You…
sir your article seems quite motivating to read…
it would be great if we could keep in touch.
and you know what i learned from your article– STAY IN TOUCH WITH PEOPLE AIMING HIGH.
Bio-tech….wow…a branch with so much potential. I am glad people are aspiring to dream big. I was just wondering how about setting up such goals even during under-graduation? I don't quite understand why one needs to wait till the finish to MS degree for a discovery or invention. People may think I am speaking nuts but its true. The main reason students in India don't really participate in co-curricular/extra-curricular activities is because none of them are passionate about what they do. The classrooms are filled with little parrots who are just trained to take-in whatever the teacher teaches them.
Realize your passion, then discovery and bigger goals appear before you. In some cases, despite all this fate plays its role. That is when you need to be strong.
I have discovered a methodology to produce electricity from mud and waste. Also, proposed a strategy for reducing kidney transplant deaths.
Does this make me exceptional or employed? No, I am currently unemployed, had a rain of rejects for Ph.D last year (I agree my GRE was dreadful), and am on the verge of getting hitched to some XYZ because my lover belongs to a lower caste than mine.
Yet, I never brooded. I never blamed anyone for the circumstances. Taking so much of pressure also affects your health and I suffer from a chronic disease.
For those who are reading this post might feel this is a copied Movie story but friends, movies are inspired from real lives and the practicality of problems are of this scale.
Dream big always but never ever GIVE UP!!!!!!!
thanks a lot for the inspirations..!!please reveal your secrets about how you manage to keep yourself up after drenching into such circumstances…
awesome post…..
it will make many of us to think big….
Thank you for this post HSB! very well said. My goal in life is to do something for our country, so that it would improve economically. Maybe someday it would be as good as USA or even better! Though we have a huge population, we lack the technology. we still come under the category 'developing nation'. This is because of the Brain-drain! I am from Biotechnology background and so i am looking forward to pursue my Higher education in USA to get a better exposure to technology and i would definitely come back to India and implement the methods. Although i cannot change the whole world, i would be satisfied that i have contributed a little for the nation's growth!
Happyschoolsblog great post. This really provoked me to think high . GREAT WORK !
Awesome Post. Goals need to be set higher. But many people fear. Many of them don't realize their potential. But I have a question.
How does one tackle some obstacles that come across in achieving our goal. I know that I dont make sense in blaming situations around me, But these questions naturally pose as a obstacle in achieving our goal.
Most of them have goals that are high enough, but something is holding back them. How to break this and come out ? One way to come out is reading such blog posts. Experiences of others is always motivating. HSB has kind of redefined the way I view world. If this post wouldn`t have been written, there wouldn`t have been any thought process of setting goals for many of us.
Arun – at some point in your life, you will have an idea, dream and goal. But, situations around you will not make it favorable to get there. You will be forced to make a decision, that will take you away from the goal. Thats when you should decide to take the path of least resistance
(follow the crowd) or stand out.
Arun, its 100% true.. Goals are set by the people and they do try reaching that goals but they are again forced to do others decisions.. No one succeeds at first but trying for it makes it an easier task.. I truly believe "Failure is the key to success" Yes it true, if the lost one is tried again we will learn more than we know… So, never give up n never follow others decisions, if ur goal is firm…
this article is something that will always let me ponder over my thoughts and ambitions again and again……………great one…
Hey it was superb & my goal includes doing my MS in US in aeronautical & i want to open my own company but in 2 stages first one is to make money so that i can open my own plane building company so has to fulfill my dream or goal………
My goal is to become a serious researcher and after some years of experience and knowledge come back to India and join some research laboratory or organization, possibly ISRO or BARC.
I can proudly say that this has been my goal in life since class 9, and got stronger in college when I got introduced to Richard Feynman.
well not every one studying MS in USA is just looking for a job with hefty salary.
I am not looking for a job. I have both short term and long term goals. I am planning on a start up in next 5 years. I have both concrete and challenging goals. Did I said when will I reach my goal. 30 years.
You will know me once I accomplish my goals.
Dear HSB
You certainly have posted a blog worth debating. You see it has been an age of 'Survival of the Fittest' since the beginning of human race. All people don't have the same IQ, don't have the same resources, don't have the same motivation. And that's what makes everyone unique.
Steve Jobs was a visionary; he brought a revolution with his ideas, ideas which are unique to him, ideas which could be duplicated.
Every person attempts to fulfill his desires which are largely influenced by his family, surroundings and morale level. But would it make the earth worth living if all people start dreaming the same, work towards the same, develop same intelligence?
Humans have the instinct of competition and the moment one sees another getting infront, he would make his best efforts to surpass him. So its better to let go off such a irrelevant subject as it would have no effect on some while some might overdo !
Rightly said "All people don't have the same IQ, don't have the same resources, don't have the same motivation. And that's what makes everyone unique."
Rightly pointed out by HSB, as every one is unique – their ideas must not be same.
Yes, you are a competitor – whether you take part in the competition or not.
An attempt may fail, but don't fail to make an attempt.
This is the case of most Indian aspirants. It is mainly because of the education system, environment and the student attitude.
In US, at the age of 16, every student is independent. This is an advantage and at the same time has demerits too. An average US student can decide whether he wants to be like Steve Jobs or JFK or Warren Buffet at the age of 16. However, he can also change the course and wish to be like Jack the 'Ripper' (demerit of US System).
In India, the case is entirely different. We study all the subjects as much as we can in our High schools dreaming to be like Abdul Kalam, Narayanmoorthy or TATA(even before knowing their history and career). And at the college, we will chose an area which the 'senior at the neighbor' or 'a relative senior' are employed in/excelled at. We will be independent only if we get placed after UG. Also, parents have a big impact on our career (which is presumably decreasing nowadays). Some parents make their children chose the field they wanted to or dreamed of. So a child who dreamed of becoming Abdul Kalam may be in reality only a 'Inspector Balram' or a 'glorified' Central Govt. Employee. Getting a Central Govt.job is tough, but the aspirant wished to be a renowned Scientist. The merit in this system is virtually nobody will become Jack the Ripper as 'no parents' will make it happen. However, there will be only a few Narayanamoorthys, few Kalams whereas in US, there will be many Steve Jobs, Bill Gates etc.
We are morally bind. I don't say it is wrong but it is not always appropriate. We don't send our parents on world tours when they age. We take care of them and feel happiness in it. Most of us have 'biological parents' and not 'legal parents'(not meant to offend). We live with family (wife, children) and hesitate to leave them for our career prospects. This binding keeps us away from thinking more (limit us). We get settled at young age. For Americans, some say life starts at 40. Our life ends at 40. :). A carpenter in US goes for world tours, rides a Mercedes at least once in his lifetime. Carpenter in India never get a chance to see even other parts in India but he makes his son do it. May be his son will ride a Mercedes.
So as to conclude, we are blessed with parents who can support us, an education system which can make us take whatever field and excel it. If we at the same time, be independent at least in our career prospects, we can more Steve Jobs, more Kalams than any other nation.
This is just my view and 'may be' not correct to some or more. I apologize for the same. Again, thanks to HSB for putting his career on the post. I also, with HSB wish all the junior aspirants from India to plan smart, dream big, be more and do more.
finally,, awesome title too..!
Never before I spent so much time for crafting the Title.
hi hsb, u knw wt ,i had the same track as urs till engineering,…evn i thought to quit engineering and go for medicine but later ….the same case "got used to reality " 🙁
Awesome post !
Most of the Students who do masters in USA would be looking at a job.. none of the friends i have met would say "I want to Discover this, Invent this.. and Start a Company".. they are happy getting a job with a heft salary…
For me a Big goal would be to Discover a new Drug or may be even start a Biotech Startup…I would definitely work for it and hope there are few ..
Though the Money is a big thing in life, it should not be the only thing in life… 🙂
I think thats a bigger dream buddy all the best with it
but dude it does not apply for all students…
many of them want to do something new…
Nice topic but comparing Indians with Americans is absurd.Totally different circumstances in both countries-social and economic.That is the reason why many deserving Indians end up in jobs because that is the only alternate left for them to remain in US unless they want to come back to India. To be honest after spending couple of years in US only some compelling reason would attract some one back to India.
To make the topic little broad based can some one tell me how to start a Company in the US under the existing Visa laws during Graduation or after that? An advantage to Americans. Which category of Visa needs to be applied for? I know one can start a Company on OPT(12 months ) but what after that?Now some one not write about $500K or $1million investment Visa opportunities.
Motivating post..Truely to say,till now my goal is to do MS in US..Hope i could improve my goals from now 🙂

How to recruit volunteers—Finding the perfect match
The best volunteers aren't born—they're made. Great organizations recruit good matches for the work that needs to be done, and they guide development of their volunteers.
The need for more manpower is the obvious reason for recruiting volunteers. But, there are other motives, too:[1]
- To unburden paid staff members
- To increase diversity in your organization
- To better publicize what you're all about
- To maximize your budget
In 2013, Canadian volunteers logged 1.9 billion hours, with 44 percent clocking in with about 154 hours each.[2] And, research from the U.S. shows that volunteers tend to donate to charities more than their non-volunteering counterparts.[3] Recruiting volunteers can be a great way to supplement giving. Read on to discover best practices for growing your army of volunteers.
Tips for recruiting volunteers
From a high level, follow these steps to build your volunteer ranks:[4],[5]
- Do your homework.
Study your current volunteers. Know why they support you, how they were recruited and who they are in terms of demographics. Consider researching volunteers from other organizations to gain other insight on the mind and motivations of volunteers.
- Get strategic.
Use intelligence on current volunteers to target additional pools of talent. Think of potential volunteers as consumers, and highlight for them your unique value proposition. What makes you special? Answer that question and use it to shape messages to potential volunteer groups and individuals within those groups.
- Broadcast your need.
Show up at local festivals. Write letters to the editor. Create PSAs for local radio and television. Post notices at laundromats, grocery stores, high schools, college and university campuses, churches, community centres, post offices, etc. Getting the word out is important, but research shows that face-to-face contact is the best way to recruit volunteers.
Reach out to organizations whose members like to volunteer. Try a local Rotary Club, women's organizations, houses of worship, and college student and alumni organizations. Provide logo'd gear at their meetings. Items such as multi-ink pens, or Post-it® notes with a to-do list make an impression.
Leverage online platforms. LinkedIn®, Twitter® and Facebook® are great outlets for recruiting volunteers. Websites such as Volunteer Canada connect volunteers and organizations. To attract would-be volunteers, share a volunteering calendar and publish profiles of volunteers.
- Close the deal.
Show why being a volunteer for your cause is a benefit for would-be helpers. Invite them to shadow current volunteers and staff members. Guarantee flexible hours. Ask them what they enjoy doing, and accommodate their requests. A bendable USB light reminds volunteers of your organization's flexibility and acts as a great welcome gift.
Show you take volunteers seriously by providing coordination and supervision, and give volunteers titles to show your commitment to their time and talent. Presenting volunteers with an imprinted magnetic name badge is a thoughtful touch that reflects their dedication.
When you identify potential volunteers who can't make the commitment, remember that "No" doesn't mean "Never." Sometimes, the timing isn't right. Stay in touch, because their life circumstances will change, and your cause will be top of mind when they're eager to lend a helping hand. Mail a felt pennant magnet with your logo or an imprinted collapsible Koozie® to stay on their radar.
As you recruit volunteers, screen candidates to discover the best fits for the job. A vacancy could be better than a poor match. Compatibility with your culture and cause amplifies the effort of eager volunteers. Happy recruiting!

The Conservative leadership don't seem to understand what the big problem is with the further liberalisation of Sunday Trading laws. There may be a very simple explanation for that. It might not be them or anyone else in their friendship groups who will be affected. It will be people on lower incomes who are already working very hard to hold families together having to sacrifice even more precious time with them. All the many arguments as to why this is a terrible idea are listed in our previous article here, but here is something significant you can do.
You can be part of the fight back with the #oursunday campaign. Simply tweet or Facebook us a picture of you holding a whiteboard/piece of card/fridge door(!) on which you have written how you spend your Sunday. Then include the hashtag #oursunday.
Here we are!
Other phrases you could include are..
People are more than economic units
Don't privatise Sunday
Don't be bullied by the big stores

My week in review……this week seems like it flew by. I did get a few things accomplished but I also had some days where the fibromyalgia kicked in and put me down. I also had a couple of wasted days (more on that later in this post). I didn't do much reading and feeling very guilty about this because I have a pile of books that are in my TBR review pile and more books were delivered this week. Does this ever happen to you? How do you catch up? Any tips would be appreciated. Maybe it's just my personality that I am feeling this way. But today is going to be dedicated to reading. I am coming down with a cold and plan on getting comfy on the couch with my afghan, a cup of coffee and my book.
My days this week that I considered "wasted" were due to MY JOURNEY. (To my new followers….I decided to use this forum as a personal journal to help me deal with this important and terrifying (to me) chapter in my life). Once again I spent many hours on the phone this week trying to get things in place and the appointment confirmed for my surgical consult scheduled for this coming Wednesday. I can not believe the sad state that our medical system is in. It was on Jan. 4th when I was referred to this specialist and it was not confirmed until yesterday. Hours spent on the phone trying to get the proper prior authorization in place. Wasting time on the phone with insurace company, referring doctors and the doctor I have yet to be seen by. Remember the days when you picked up the phone, dialed, and the appointment was made? I know I have been out of the medical field for a while but what happened to "the patient" being the priority? Now what is foremost are the regulations, paper work, and lets not forget, the dollar amount associated with the consult. I just hope that with all that went into making this appointment, that this doctor can help and is specialized in complex cases. Will be posting more on this after my appointment.
And for all my new followers…..Thank you…..and on the weekend….pick up a good book…reading is and can be fun….. and dedicate your weekends to:
Relax and Read !!!!!

Oh, yeah, the almighty dollar must come first! I hope it all goes well for you and that you feel better soon.
Have a good weekend relaxing and reading.
Thank you for those wishes…appreciate them more than you know 🙂
So sorry you're having to deal with this. It's bad enough when you have to deal with the system when you're not having any problems, but to have to deal with health issues and the health system at the same time is just too much.
I am sorry you had so much to deal with….I would love to take your advice and read a book, but I think it's just a dream this weekend.
Bermudaonion and Ms Bibi: Thank you for the kind words. I have also had those weekends but I feel guilty if I don't read even a few chapters especially since I started to do requested reviews. Hopefully you have a good weekend even if you can't read.

Behavior at the Table
"Behavior" at the Table
I hear a lot about "behavior." Technically, "behavior" is a noun, I'm told. I don't think of it as a person, place, or thing, though. From my point of view, it's a category of actions, which makes it a verb. This word, "behavior," gets us into a lot of trouble.
I am sure you have heard this: "We could certainly do more if he didn't have behaviors."
That's a pretty strong statement. How do you not have any behavior? That sounds like a really boring existence, and not one I want for anyone – especially one of the people I support or my own children…or me!
For the month of November – a month traditionally void of a full week of school – I'm going to focus on various aspects of "behavior" and healthy living for people with Down syndrome and related disabilities.
This should be fun!

Food Rewards: Help or Hindrance?
I overheard Melissa talking to a friend the other day. She was explaining her day. "In social skills group, I get a tiny bag of skittles like the ones you get on Halloween. Mrs. R gives us a chocolate kiss after music. Miss Sally gives me jelly bellies after I do my writing exercises. In Mr. White's class I have a chart for when I listen carefully. When I get 10 stickers, I get to pick a piece of candy from the jar."
Use of food as a reward system in schools is not new. It is an easy and universally understood token for students of all ages and abilities. It's common for a class of students to work toward a pizza party or other food-related event. However, for students with Down syndrome and related disabilities, the use of food rewards can become so prevalent in teaching methodology it gets the way of lunch! For Melissa, the candy appears to be the most exciting part of the day.
When working in isolation, these rewards seem harmless. However, the totality of the candy offered throughout the day is a very real problem. Not only do they provide too may empty calories in a day, but the process, the habit, of earning food can wreak havoc later in life. Think about the behavioral lesson. What is this student learning? She is learning that if she complies with the rules, she gets candy. She is learning that food is an expected part of a good day at work. For some students, this becomes a well-established groove into adulthood that is difficult to break. For others, good work triggers the desire to eat. It's difficult to find a good reason to continue to offer food as any sort of regular reward.
What to do?
First, use the accommodations and modifications section of your child or student's IEP. An appropriate accommodation for this student is "No food rewards." This will serve as a reminder to all team members. However, whenever a technique is taken away, it must have an equally effective one. This is where the team work comes in to play. I encourage parents and teachers to create a list of the things that motivate each student. For many, the best reward is a social connection: a high five, a statement of praise, time with friends doing an infrequent, favored activity, and so on. A visual tool for this would be a reward chart with stickers, building up to special time with friends. One young lady I worked with was more excited about earning clips and bows for her hair than anything else. We all knew when it was an especially good day when you could barely see her hair for the clips and bows.
When working with middle school and high school students, sit down with them to create the reward list. Ask them what it is they would like to do. Involving students in classroom contracts makes them more meaningful.
Of course there are times when a classroom party is the most appropriate activity for students! Focus the party on activities and what they did to earn the party more than the pizza or ice cream. Regardless, food is an integral part of life. Our job, as parents and educators, is to use it wisely.

I know there's a lot of reviews out there on Wealthy Affiliate, but mine is somewhat different.
You see, I was making money as an affiliate marketer before joining Wealthy Affiliate, so my perspective is a little different from the others.
Whether you think Wealthy Affiliate works or even if you think they're a scam, I know my view on the company will help you decide whether or not you should give them a try.
There's one thing that all the reviews have in common (yep, even the so called "negative reviews").

Virat Kohli has indicated that India will go into the Antigua Test with the same combination that helped them pull off their first-ever Test-series win in Australia at the turn of the year. If this is the case, Rohit Sharma and Hanuma Vihari will most likely be contesting the No. 6 role.
Having played five batsmen, a keeper, an allrounder and four bowlers through most of their tours of South Africa and England in 2018, India switched to playing six specialist batsmen in the fifth and final Test in England, at The Oval. They stuck with six batsmen through the tour of Australia as well.
With Hardik Pandya rested for the West Indies tour, India don't have a seam-bowling allrounder in their squad. The only way they can play five bowlers would be to pick two spinners in Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin - both of whom can bat - and three fast bowlers.
At his pre-match press conference, Kohli said he hadn't yet looked at the pitch.
"Still thinking about the combination," he said. "We haven't had a look at the wicket. It's more or less a choice between three quicks and a spinner or two quicks and two spinners. Last time England played here the wicket had a bit of variable bounce so all those factors come into play. We're flexible at the moment about what the combination should be."
India playing only four bowlers - variable bounce might also necessitate the extra batsman - would probably mean a straight shootout between Rohit and Vihari for the No. 6 role. Kohli did not reveal whom India would pick, between the two, but he hinted that Vihari's part-time offspin could be a factor in his favour.
"It all depends on the type of combination we want to go in with," Kohli said. "Vihari has done so well since the time he's come in. Two difficult tours. Rohit's also done well in Melbourne. It all depends on the kind of combination we want to go with.
"Vihari gives you a few overs with the ball as well. He's a solid player. Rohit, we've been seeing it for years, so it's about who provides the best balance in terms of the XI we want to choose."
Both Vihari and Rohit come into the West Indies tour with form behind them. Rohit is fresh off a World Cup campaign in which he made a record five centuries, while Vihari toured the Caribbean with the India A team, scoring 55 and 118* in the second unofficial Test. Both enjoyed productive outings with the bat during India's warm-up match in Coolidge. Rohit made 68 in his only innings, while Vihari batted twice, scoring an unbeaten 37 in the first innings and 64 in the second. Vihari did not bowl in either of West Indies A's innings.
In Australia, Rohit only played two of the four Tests, missing the Perth Test with a back injury and the Sydney Test on paternity leave. He scored 106 runs at 35.33, including an unbeaten 63 in the third Test in Melbourne.
Vihari played three Tests, scoring 111 runs at an average of only 22.20, and picking up two wickets while bowling 35 overs. The numbers might not look hugely impressive on the surface, but Kohli praised him for the stickability he showed, particularly in Melbourne where he opened the batting, and batted for a combined 133 minutes across the two innings while scoring 8 and 13.
"In the Melbourne Test if you look at how Vihari and Mayank [Agarwal] opened, Vihari scored just 18-20 runs but he batted around 85 balls, [which] tells you it's all about the team. He handed the situation so well that [Cheteshwar] Pujara and myself could go out there and play the way we did and Pujara went on to get the century for us. So the small contributions are not recognised or spoken about so much."

Completion of Carlsberg's partial take-over offer for Chongqing Brewery Company
The Carlsberg Group has completed the partial take-over offer for shares in Chongqing Brewery Company Co. Ltd (CBC) that was announced on 4 March 2013. Through the partial take-over offer Carlsberg has acquired 146.6m shares and thereby increased its shareholding in CBC from 29.7% to 60% at a total purchase price of RMB 2.9bn (approximately DKK 2.6bn). CBC will be fully consolidated in Carlsberg's accounts with effect from December 2013.
CBC has 23 breweries located across Western and Eastern China, and employs 6,500 employees. Its leading brand is Shancheng, and CBC has a 85% market share in Chongqing, a city with a population of around 35 million people. In the last two years, CBC has started producing two of the Carlsberg Group's leading brands, Carlsberg and Tuborg, and both are delivering promising results. This is in line with the Carlsberg Group's approach of investing in and supporting local power brands, and at the same time introducing its international premium brands.
Commenting on today's announcement, Jørgen Buhl Rasmussen, President and CEO of the Carlsberg Group, says:
"This transaction, following on from our decision to construct two new breweries in China and Myanmar, further reinforces our commitment to Asia, and in particular to China, where we see exciting growth potential.
"We will now ensure that CBC becomes integrated into the Carlsberg organisation and is able to share in our best practices, be they in terms of marketing and sales excellence, production and procurement improvements, environmental efficiency or our outstanding research and development resources.
"We have had a very good relationship with CBC and its main shareholder since 2008 and we believe that through closer cooperation with Carlsberg, the performance of this large-scale beer business will be significantly enhanced."

The last thing you want to do entering a Slam like Wimbledon where you are among the favorites is get injured. Unfortunately for Andy Roddick, that's just what happened to the World No. 6 in his semifinal match today against James Blake at Queen's Club in London, England. ADHEREL
On game point for Blake serving 1-1, Roddick chased down a lob in the back court, tried a between-the-legs response, then took a few more steps toward the back screen where he turned his right ankle.
Good news for Roddick fans, Andy didn't appear to be in serious pain as he shook it off and walked back to his chair under normal power.
Roddick later received treatment at 3-4 and kept playing until 4-4, 15-0 with Blake serving before retiring from the match.
From Queen's Website:
"Obviously we'll know more tomorrow," said Roddick afterwards. "I met with my trainer and with the doctors. They don't think anything is torn. I was just going back after I hit the shot, and there's a difference in height between where the grass court ends and where the concrete goes, and I just unfortunately stepped at a bad angle. It kind of just twisted a little bit. Running straight ahead I was all right; side to side was suspect."
The 26-year-old said he will undergo more scans on Monday, but revealed that early signs were positive. "We're scheduled to get it looked at again tomorrow and do some scans on it and see where we're at, but initial tests showed the stability was okay. Strength was okay."
He added: "I was hoping I could walk it off and it would go away, but that wasn't the case. So to kind of walk out of a match, I don't like that feeling at all. Obviously with the bigger picture in mind, I could only make it worse out there. I wasn't going to help my prospects at Wimbledon at all by going through the motions out there and moving at, you know, 20 or 30 percent of what I can."
In the Sunday final, Blake meets top seed Andy Murray who was a 6-2, 6-4 winner over former World No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero. Murray will try to become the first Brit to win the Queen's Club since Bunny Austin in 1938. Tim Henman was the last Briton to reach the Queen's final in 2002. Blake was a finalist at Queen's in 2006 where he beat Roddick before losing to Lleyton Hewitt in the final.
Roddick was appearing in his seventh straight Queen's Club semifinal, having won the title on four previous occasions. Before his retirement, Roddick had not dropped a set nor service game all week.
In Halle, Tommy Haas booked a spot in the final where he will await the winner between the ongoing Novak Djokovic v. Olivier Rochus match. Haas overcame a 5-2 third-set deficit to beat fellow German Philipp Kohlschreiber 2-6, 7-6(5), 7-6(3). It's Haas's first career final on a grass court and first final of any kind since his 2007 Memphis title.
The Wimbledon Championships begin a week from Monday. Seeding will be announced next week with the draw released on Friday. Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Murray and Djokovic are expected to be the top four seeds in that order.

It's really painful to say goodbye to someone that you don't want to let go of, but it's even more painful to hold on to them if they never wanted to stay in the first place. If someone doesn't show you the same love that you show them, and acts as if you are unimportant most of the time, this may be a big clue as to the fact that you don't need them in your life either. The only people you truly need in your life are those who respect you and want you to be in theirs.

Apple & rhubarb is one of my favourite flavour combinations. I simply stew it & then serve however greedy I am feeling on the day.
Today I made the Apple & rhubarb, then made it into:
1. overnight Bircher buckwheat – it's delicious when the buckwheat softens up & can be served with a generous dollop of yoghurt.
2. Crumble – how can you go wrong?! Today's topping was LSA with coconut, coconut oil & Rice Malt syrup. Baked for about 20 minutes at 160 degrees.
3. Pastry – one third of a sheet of puff pastry, I also added in some blueberries which was a huge success as far as my tummy was concerned.
3 medium apples
8 pieces of rhubarb, approx 15 cm long, cut into pieces about 3-4 cm.
Put in a pot on a low heat. Simmer for about 40 minutes. No liquid is needed.

Improper digestion and accumulation of toxins
As we all know, food is digested by the body, and the digested food is processed further to rebuild the tissues and create energy. The undigested food is eliminated by the body. However, there are certain food categories such as incompatible, non-seasonal, stale, junk, etc., which may not get digested completely.
The digestive capacity could be reduced or disturbed due to factors such as age, and negative mental states like stress and frustration. Then there is detrimental lifestyle like lack of exercise, Improper eating habits such as overeating, emotional eating, excess of cold and raw food, etc.
When there is a disturbance in the digestive system, food can remain semi digested. When the incompletely digested food is not metabolized and stays in the body, it may turn toxic.
So, having healthy food alone does not ensure good digestion.
Toxins accumulate in the body at various levels such as circulation, it could even go deeper into the tissues and cells depending on how long the situation has been going on. It causes deterioration of the bodily functioning, clogging channels in the body, and also disturbing the physiological processes at the cellular level. This may lead to serious diseases.
Correction in lifestyle, eating habits and ayurvedic herbs help overcome the condition. A quick and good way to purge the body of the toxins is through an ayurvedic cleanse called Panchakarma.
Panchakarma: Ayurvedic detoxification
'Panch' (means five) and 'Karma' (means action); thus, Panchakarma signifies a set of five detoxification and purification procedures.
Pancha karma is a mind and body detoxification technique; it rejuvenates the body and mind, helps maintain health, and manages chronic diseases like autoimmune diseases, arthritis, digestive issues, chemotherapy, chronic skin conditions, etc.
The procedure is usually performed in a serene place as a 5-8 days retreat program under the guidance of ayurvedic practitioners and Panchakarma therapists. It includes customized therapies, specialized local treatments, ayurvedic meals, yoga and meditation.
Benefits of Panchakarma
Eliminate toxins and toxic conditions from body and mind;
Strengthen immune system and become more resistant to illness;
Reverse the negative effects of stress on your body and mind;
Slow down the aging process;
Enhance strength, energy, vitality and mental clarity;
Deep relaxation and sense of well-being.
Ayurvedic texts say that "In a person whose digestive system has been cleansed and purified the metabolism is stimulated, disease is reduced, and normal health is maintained. Sense organs, mind, intellect and complexion are improved; strength, good nourishment, healthy progeny and potency are the result. Symptoms of aging do not appear so easily and the person lives long and free from disorders. For this reason, elimination therapy should be carried out correctly and at the right time."

Unlock the innovation inside your health data.
Enhancing care, gaining efficiencies and managing costs requires better connections between people, devices and information. But that's just the start. To fully achieve enterprise goals you need to capitalize on the healthcare data behind those connections.
Enterprise-wide digital transformation services from Verizon will unleash deep, analytics-driven insights that can streamline and automate organizational processes, and enable you to deliver personalized services to members and patients.
Capitalize on a Data-Driven World with Healthcare Data Analytics
Transform care and spur growth with intelligent connectivity.
Leaders in the healthcare industry are using mobile, machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to redefine member services, improve productivity and seize new opportunities. Find out what intelligent connectivity can do for your organization.
Use case example: Gain Efficiencies and Improve Care Using Big Data
Access information as it's needed, on reliable and secure devices.
Healthcare providers can gain a competitive edge with smarter networking, devices and logistics.
A large healthcare provider wants to make its mobile caregivers more efficient in order to help improve patient care and remain competitive in the home care industry. The provider's strategy of assigning caregivers to patients based on workload—not taking into account caregiver specialty or appointment time frames and locations—was not meeting the needs of either group. Additionally, caregivers were required to submit several manual reports following each patient visit, slowing down the process even more.
The Verizon Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) solution delivers an easy way to track and monitor home care visits and patient services. This can also help providers address the 2020 and 2023 EVV mandates for Medicaid programs.
By deploying our Workforce Management solution, healthcare providers can speed up and streamline communications processes. Workforce Management simplifies communications because it includes an electronic mobile forms app for use with 4G LTE devices and a Mobile Device Management solution.
In addition, Verizon Intelligent Locator can help improve how providers manage logistics and collect data on assets and staff workflow. With Intelligent Locator, the provider can keep track of and manage high-value equipment, supplies and inventory. Caregivers can locate the equipment they need when they need it, and quickly and more effectively connect doctors with patients.
The provider can also expand its IoT portfolio using Verizon ThingSpace to develop, manage and market a healthcare-device monitoring solution.
Verizon lowers the barrier of entry to Internet of Things.

Use case example: Revolutionize Patient Care with Mobility and IoT Solutions
A better experience for your patients
Personalize care with mobility and IoT solutions.
A large home healthcare provider needs to find ways to improve patient care and experience. Remote patient care allows health providers to deliver services and information via mobile technologies—across town and around the country. Similarly, healthcare connected devices on the Internet of Things (IoT), such as vital sign monitoring, patient activity tracking and other wearables allow patients to recover at home, helping reduce hospital stays. With the goal of improving how hospital equipment is used and kept track of, the healthcare provider can deploy Asset Management solutions, giving the organization near real-time information about vital assets. And using Verizon Connect, the organization can monitor fleet resources and identify driver performance problems.

A study conducted by Neil Humphrey and colleagues, published in Public Health Research, reports on the findings of a randomised controlled trial of the social and emotional learning intervention, Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS).
PATHS aims to promote children's social skills via a taught curriculum, which is delivered by the class teacher. A total of 5,218 children in Years 3–5 (ages 7–9) from 45 primary schools in Greater Manchester participated in the trial. Schools were randomly allocated to deliver PATHS for two years or to continue as normal.
The findings of the study suggest that the impact of PATHS was modest and limited. Immediately after the intervention, there was tentative evidence that PATHS made a small improvement on children's social skills (effect size = +0.09) as assessed by the Social Skills Improvement System. A small improvement in children's psychological well-being (effect size = +0.07) was also found immediately after the intervention. However, there were no differences between children from PATHS and control schools for any outcomes at the 12- or 24-month post-intervention follow-ups.

Taiwanese handset maker E-Ten Information Systems has launched a new Windows Mobile-based smart phone packed with GPS (global positioning system), computing capabilities, and VOIP (voice over Internet protocol) software from Skype.
The company has been branching out in recent years from its GPS products, and has caught onto a trend in Taiwan of developing mobile phones built around Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS.
Describing the Glofiish X500 handset as a PDA (personal digital assistant) with voice functions, the company is pushing its slim design, just 15.5 millimeters, as a big selling point.
The voice functions are also nothing to sneeze at. Glofiish offers quad-band GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), as well as GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS).
It also enables users to bypass their mobile phone company and use Skype when a Wi-Fi hot spot is available.
The handset also takes advantage of push e-mail from its Windows Mobile 5.0 OS, giving users full e-mail access, IMAP/POP, and enabling the smart phone to compete with BlackBerry devices.
The company also built a 2.0 megapixel camera onboard for still shots as well as video. The rest of the Glofiish's functions can be found at E-Ten's X500 Web page.
The device will only be available in Taiwan for the time being. E-Ten did not provide suggested retail pricing.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is renewing his feud with NBC News, and this time he's raising the possibility of challenging broadcasting licensing for broadcast outlets.
Trump writes on Twitter that with all the "Fake News" coming out of "NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License?"
The Federal Communications Commission oversees the renewal of licenses for broadcasters.
Trump has been pushing back against a recent NBC News story that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson considered resigning during the summer and that Tillerson had called Trump a "moron."

What is it?
It's not just in your orange juice! Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for human survival. The human body does not produce vitamin C, so it must be obtained from the food we eat. Dietary sources of vitamin C include various fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruits such as oranges. Red peppers actually have an even higher amount of vitamin C than oranges do gram per gram, and kiwis top them all with the highest density of vitamin C in a food item.
Vitamin C is well-known for its effects on preventing scurvy. The link between vitamin C and scurvy was established in 1747 when James Lind studied several treatments for scurvy, and only lemons and oranges were helpful in preventing the disease. It wasn't until 1933 that the exact chemical structure of vitamin C was discovered by Norman Howarth.(1)
How is it made?
Most vitamin C supplements are produced through the bacterial fermentation of sugar, called the Reichstein process.(2) Various sugar sources can be used, but the large majority of the source material of vitamin C is derived from corn (since it is a very inexpensive source of sugar), but there is no corn protein in the final products. Vitamin C is one of the ingredients that doesn't differ too much in how it's made from product to product, since the Reichstein process, or modifications of the process, are still the predominant method of production.
Many vitamin C products also include bioflavonoids from sources like rose hips or citrus fruits to replicate the variety of ingredients that are found in fruits and vegetables with naturally occuring vitamin C. While the large majority of the vitamin C on the market is chemically derived, rose hip extract and citrus fruit vitamin C can be suitable for patients who prefer non-synthetic vitamin C supplements.
In which forms is it available?
There are numerous kinds of vitamin C supplements on the market: tablets, powders, capsules, lozenges… you name it, there's one available. As mentioned, most of the different forms of vitamin C still come from a similar source. The majority are derived from the Reichstein process, or a similar method to produce the vitamin C, so there is a lot of parity on the market when it comes to vitamin C.
Vitamin C is well-absorbed orally at lower doses, but absorption decreases as the single dose of vitamin C increases. Approximately 87% of a 30 mg oral dose is absorbed, 80% of a 100 mg dose is absorbed, 63% of a 500 mg dose is absorbed, and less than 50% of a 1250 mg dose is absorbed. This is due to the fact that vitamin C is transported from the intestines into the blood by a transporter that gets full quickly.(3) This is one of the reasons that vitamin C supplements are commonly recommended in divided doses, in sustained release/timed release forms, or in new liposomal preparations.
A newer form of vitamin C on the market is liposomal vitamin C. Rather than being just a powder, tablet or capsule that dissolves in water, liposomal vitamin C is suspended in a fatty cream or gel. In one recent study(4), liposomal vitamin C was able to raise vitamin C levels 50% higher than standard vitamin C at the same dose. Most liposomal vitamin C products are made with an ingredient called choline, which is also used to help liver and brain health.
How does it work?
Vitamin C has an important role in skin health through collagen formation. Collagen is the protein-rich component of skin, hair, and nails to ensure they grow healthy and strong. Vitamin C's function in the skin is twofold:
- As a cofactor for the proper alignment of the amino acids that make collagen (Proline and Lysine),
- As an antioxidant to prevent damage to surrounding cells from the sun's radiation or any other noxious stimuli.
Vitamin C is so important to skin health that there are higher levels of vitamin C in your skin than there are in your blood!(5)
Vitamin C is also able to help your body better process neurotransmitters as well, including the neurohormones responsible for mood balance and overall brain function. Furthermore, vitamin C has a role in the metabolism of norepinephrine, but also helps to keep scavenge for free radicals in the brains, much in the same way it does in the skin.(6)
As an essential vitamin, vitamin C needs to be consumed in order for the body to be able to use it. The Reichstein process that was mentioned above is not a reaction that can happen in the body.
There are many other essential nutrients (some amino acids, all minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids are some others) that the body can't make on its own, which is why they are often found as dietary supplements. Without a dietary plan that provides for all of the essential nutrients, some people may end up having low or even deficient levels of certain ingredients, which can lead to negative health outcomes.
How can Vitamin C help?
As one of the most well researched and well-used nutrients on the market, there is a myriad of uses for vitamin C. Most notably, vitamin C is used for preventing and treating scurvy, as well as preventing vitamin C deficiency in people with gastrointestinal diseases and those on chronic total parenteral nutrition, or chronic hemodialysis. Vitamin C is also used for increasing iron absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, as well as reducing the healing rate of wounds, burns, fractures, ulcers, pressure sores, and sunburn.
Vitamin C is even effective when applied to the skin in skin conditions, protecting against free radicals and pollutants, and for improving photo-aged skin.(7) Its effect on free radicals is present because vitamin C is an antioxidant. It has a particular affinity for the brain, skin, and eyes, and is often found in combination products meant to protect these organs and tissues.
As mentioned above, the chemical name of vitamin C is ascorbic acid. As an acid, this is part of the reason that vitamin C helps iron absorption. By making the stomach more acidic, the iron from food and supplements is more readily absorbed into the bloodstream.
What are the side effects?
Since vitamin C is an acid, it can wear away at the surface of your tooth enamel. Vitamin C often comes in the form of a chewable tablet and it's this form of vitamin C that's most commonly linked to enamel erosion due to the contact time in your mouth.
The other adverse effects of vitamin C are dose-related. The most common adverse effects include gastrointestinal effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal cramps, gastrointestinal obstruction or diarrhea, as well as fatigue, flushing, headache, insomnia, and sleepiness. In some patients, vitamin C may also cause kidney stones.

If you have read the previous article of this series, then it should be clear to you how the search engines actually work. It should also create your interest in knowing more about the search engines and optimizing your site better for them. But before that, you must make it clear to yourself – why do you need to practice SEO?
Without a proper understanding of the reasons of practicing SEO, you may get your interest lost in the long run. You should be clear to yourself, what you are doing and why you are doing that.
While talking about SEO with the owner of a reputed design based web blog, he exclaims –
"Just focus on the content of your website, and you will never ever need SEO at all. SEO is for all those, who spend less time on improving their site and more on finding various techniques in ranking higher in the SERPs".
A friend of mine, who is new enough to the world of SEO, tells me –
"Search engines should be intelligent and sophisticated enough to understand websites and retrieve information from them and rank them in a suitable way without any human intervention. It is simply pointless to follow a set of rules to make your website rank better in the search engine results".
I have to politely disagree with both of the above mentioned statements. To some extent, they are correct in what they are trying to mean, but I am not sure whether they understand search technology the way it's meant to be. Continue reading
