Glasgow University tricked students this April Fools' Day when it told students it was erecting a helter-skelter on campus.
Herald Scotland and the University of Glasgow teamed up to fool students and residents, with an article published on the Herald's website today.
They even produced a video to announce the unveiling of the university tower as the helter-skelter, which has been covered in scaffolding for eight months.
"Students say that studying at the University of Glasgow is like studying at Hogwarts. Well now it's going to be like studying at Hogwarts, but with a twist," said Professor Frank Coton, the university's vice-principal for academic and educational innovation, in the video.
He told the Herald: "They said it couldn't be done. Then they said it shouldn't be done. But we did it anyway and we're thrilled to be the first university in the world to fuse education and entertainment in such an exciting way."
BREAKING NEWS:UofG Tower Helter Skelter-Find out more about our best kept secret https://t.co/KRynu3UEN2#UofGTowerpic.twitter.com/s4B6XrouLa— Uni of Glasgow (@UofGlasgow) April 1, 2016
The Herald reported that the "notoriously reclusive Phil Tsarina Folios" designed the helter-skelter in the tower, which was originally built in 1870.
"Look out later this year and early next for amazing developments at Macchu Picchu, the Colosseum, and Stonehenge," he told the paper.
Readers quickly realised that the story was an April Fools' joke, but were impressed with the effort the university went to.
Have to applaud my uni for putting so much effort into their April Fools joke👏🏼😂— Katakiarimoto (@alisonsingsalot) April 1, 2016
Glasgow uni went all out for that April fools tbf— han (@hannahgwest) April 1, 2016
The amount of effort Glasgow Uni have gone to for this April Fool's hahaha— hannah (@shooottherunner) April 1, 2016
The helter-skelter would consist of "nearly half a kilometre of tightly twisting slide", whilst sliding down it could leave you "reaching speeds of up to 25pmh", according to the Herald. Such level of detail about the proposed ride left some disappointed.
glasgow uni's april fools' got me a belter but genuinely torn between how impressed I am and how devastated/betrayed I feel it's not real— Lenaïg_______ (@eilzyyy) April 1, 2016
However, one Twitter user had a crueler idea for April Fools'.
@UofGlasgow would have been funnier if you'd have written to all unconditional offer students saying there had been an administrative error.— David (@Kowalskiy) April 1, 2016

I found out about Staci Lynn Designs through a local Tuesday's Together group. She had posted about wanting to collaborate on projects and styled shoots, and I reached out to her. She does such fun work with invitations, high school and baby announcements, notecards, and business logos. I can't wait to work with her on a styled shoot in the future! She's sweet, quick to respond and act, and talented.
How did you get started in your business?
How would you describe your style? What is your favorite type of work to do?
Good question! I would have to say that my favorite kind of work would be wedding stationery and wedding branding. I also have a passion for business branding. I just love taking something from scratch and making it my own. I find myself really drawn to florals, boho & watercolor. I am not sure if I have a particular style. I think that is what makes me unique. I am not cramped by one passion. I know that if someone were to come to me and say I really wanted a woodlands themed wedding invitation I know I could do it.
My favorite part of my work is seeing how passionate my customers are and showing them how passionate I am for the work that I do. I absolutely love when you finish a project and send it to the customer and they get so excited and tell you how you nailed it and they couldn't have asked for a better person to design this piece for them.
How do you love to serve your clients?
I absolutely love to make sure every client gets what they want. I don't ever like to turn people away because of budget or project needs. I love to come up with alternatives! I love to learn new things and I love to broaden my scope. If you come to me with a project I have never done before or don't have much experience in, you can bet I will make it my mission to figure it out. I never did like high school but college was incredible to me. It left me with so many options and so many cool things that I could learn. There are so many brilliant people out there just wanting to teach people their "art" and I love meeting those kinds of people who are as passionate about teaching as I am about learning.
Don't settle. If you want something in particular or you like a designers specific style go for it. I have met so many clients who settled for a design just because they wanted it done now and wanted a cost effective design. I am here to tell you there are people out there that will make it there goal in life to make sure you get the design you deserve. And then there are people who will just do the design to put money in the bank. I love my job and my clients. There is nothing I love more than spoiling my clients and seeing how excited they get to see the final piece.
On top of all her graphic design, she also sells her handmade jewelry through her business, Adorn! Be sure to check that out!

I wanted to post this yesterday, but wasn't able to get enough private time on the computer.
Title: Hillsborough
Author: DorsetGirl
Fandom: Life on Mars
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters or their universe. BBC/Kudos do. I'm not making any money out of this.
Rating: White Cortina, Gen
Word Count: 289
A/N: The first time I saw Sam Tyler's impassioned Hillsborough speech to Pete Bond, it struck me that Sam could have been there; at the very least, as a football fan and a policeman, he would have felt very personally involved. I have often thought of writing about that day from Sam's point of view, but wasn't sure - still am not sure - that it's an appropriate subject for a fic. For that reason I'm not posting it to lifein1973.
Yesterday I read personal memories of the day from Ian Wylie and from James Watson in The Independent, and after that it just had to be written. I make no pretence of being a football fan myself, and I have no idea what I was doing that day, but I do know the tragedy will never, and should never, be forgotten.
Something terrible happened today. Something that should never have happened, and must never happen again.
It's barely twelve months I've been in the force but I've learned enough to know how not to do it. For example, you don't police by looking the other way while people are calling for help. You don't police by standing chatting when there are people who need you. You police by being aware, all the time, of the responsibility you have to the people around you, the people relying on you, the people you will never meet and never know but who need you to keep them safe.
Before today, I looked up to them, the senior officers - the Inspectors, the Superintendents; the brass. I thought that being a Superintendent meant that you were the best; that you knew what to do, that you would always know what to do. And that you would do it, to the best of your ability, come what may. But now I know different and I - I wish I didn't.
Today, we were dragging out bodies, and they wouldn't let the ambulances through: they said there was rioting. There was no rioting, just people crying, people dying, who could have been saved if we'd done the right thing. It was our fault.
Today I am ashamed to be a police officer, and I make a vow:
Never again, as long as I live, will I stand by and assume that senior officers know better than I do what has to be done. I will fight lazy, corrupt and complacent policing wherever I find it, and I will do my best to make a difference in this world, wherever and whenever I can.This I promise.

Sergio Aguero's 13th Premier League goal of the season kept Manchester City's title charge on track .
The City striker scored the only goal of the game after just 16 minutes to give the visitors a slender win.
It came just 24 hours after Manuel Pellegrini confirming he was off at the end of the season.
Did it have a positive impact?
Here are five things we learned from the game.
1) Manuel Pellegrini has a place in City's hearts
Pep Guardiola may be on the way to provide the Champions League City's billionaire owner desperately wants - but no-one's in a hurry to drive Manuel Pellegrini to Manchester Airport.
The Chilean boss has lived up to his "Charming Man" persona and City's travelling fans chanted his name with their jaunty Lamborghini song to let him know that while he might be gone he'll never be forgotten.
2) Lamine Kone hits the ground running
Sunderland punters arriving at The Stadium of Light may have been asking Lamine Who? But defensive new boy Kone could be the best bit of January business Sam Allardyce has ever done.
With Skipper John O'Shea and Wes Brown reaching the end of their careers Big Sam desperately needs some athleticism, strength and leadership in the next few months. Kone has them all.
3) Yaya playing to impress the new boss?
Hang on a minute – didn't we think cold Tuesday nights in the North East were never Yaya Toure's thing?
You'd never have guessed at the Stadium of Light. Toure often looks like he'd rather be somewhere else but against struggling Sunderland he looked a man on a mission.
Nothing to do with the boss who let you go at Barcelona coming to City Yaya?
4) No surrender from Sunderland
Sunderland might be in trouble and fighting a backs to the wall battle but the fans are with Big Sam and the players all the way.
And with dissent amongst the ranks at fellwo relegation rivals Newcastle and Aston Villa that's surely going to be worth extra points when the going gets really tough.
5) It'll be Pep wanting to work with Sergio Aguero - not the other way round
Already there's talk of Pep Guardiola bringing in some big guns of his own like Robert Lewandowski when he takes over at City.
But if there's one player who needn't worry, it's Sergio Aguero.
Nothing new there, of course. But if there's one striker in the world Guardiola wants to work with the most then it's surely the deadly Argentinian after another classy goal.

I had to smile last night when I was watching a re-run of an old sit-com. Mother was sitting at her lap top, staring at the screen. She is apparently trying to write a novel. Daughter comes in. 'Stuck, are you?' Mother promptly answers, 'No, I'm not stuck. I have writer's block.'

Gear-up with performance shoes that offer a glove-like fit and outstanding traction whether on the water or on land.
Trying to remain upright on a heeling sailboat? Pounding through whitecaps on a sportfisher? Paddling across a tranquil lake on your SUP? Hiking to your kayak put-in? Sperry 7 SEAS Sport Boat Shoes are the answer for what to wear. Utilizing technology developed for America's Cup athletes, Sperry has created shoes that not only handle everything Mother Nature can dish out as you sail, motor or paddle the ocean, lake, river or any other body of water you encounter, they also provide surefooted confidence on wet or dry land as well. Cruising to an island paradise and have limited space on your boat? With Sperry 7 SEAS Sport Boat Shoes you're covered for the journey AND exploring once you get there. No need to sacrifice performance or comfort for either.
The best boat shoes are quickly forgotten once you put them on. In the heat of competition, either against yourself, other competitors or just the conditions, the last thing you want to do is worry about slipping or feel like your heavy, soggy shoes are holding you down. That's where these shoes shine (so to speak). Traction, fit and comfort that feels like an extension of your own body, only better. Imported.
Beastly Traction
Let's face it, if your shoes don't offer superior grip, you're going to spend all your time:
A. In the water
B. Getting back up off the deck
C. Wiping mud off your knees
Assuming you prefer to remain upright on whatever surface you find yourself, you'll appreciate the soles that are at the very heart of these technically savvy shoes. At first glance, you can't help but notice the Terrain Traction Pods (those oval-shaped lugs on the bottom of your Sperry 7 SEAS Sport Boat Shoes) and the deep grooves at the heels and toes. The pods provide extra grip on land, whether the conditions are wet or dry, while the grooves help disperse any water away from the soles. Now bend the flexible soles upward in your hand and you'll see what makes these shoes really stand out on the water—Razor-Cut Wave-Siping™. Tiny, wavy slits have been cut into each of the pods. These slits, in combination with the larger, deeper grooves mentioned previously, are almost guaranteed to keep you securely attached to the gelcoat most boat decks are covered with. And speaking of gelcoat, the rubber outsoles on Sperry 7 SEAS Sport Boat Shoes are non-marking. Translation: No ugly black streaks on the white deck.
Fierce Fit
Okay their soles have awesome traction. That's all you need to keep you from slipping, right? Not so fast! Another essential consideration is the fit. Once your feet get wet, they'll slide right out of your shoes unless they are securely locked in. These shoes solve that problem. Sperry started with their MocFit construction which provides more flexibility so they conform to your feet, not the other way around. Next you'll notice the way the stretchy, one-piece tongue-collar-heel "bootie-like" combo hugs your feet as soon as you slip your Sperry 7 SEAS Sport Boat Shoes on. Sort of like gloves for your feet. Once you tighten the laces you can also pull them on or off without having to mess with the laces each time. Overall stability is improved since your shoes won't move independently of your feet. Then they added their SeaBound integrated energy return system for cushioning that doesn't sap your energy, it gives it back. So a day on the water is like a walk in the park or vice versa.
Intense Vent
No shoes can keep your feet dry unless they are waterproof, air tight and fit so snuggly against your legs that water can't get in. Of course your feet would then sweat like you'd just run a marathon. Sperry 7 SEAS Sport Boat Shoes take an entirely different approach. Utilizing what Sperry calls Intense Vent construction, these shoes work to make sure the water they come into contact with doesn't stick around. For starters, their hydrophobic (a fancy word for water-repelling) mesh uppers with HydroPel technology simply don't hold water, so they dry off quickly and always feel light and breezy. In addition to this flow-through, non-absorbing mesh, Sperry uses their OmniVent system to ensure that water that gets inside your shoes makes its way immediately out. Strategically placed vents in the insoles at the heels and balls of your feet channel water through vents in the midsoles away from your shoes. The mere act of walking or moving around on your boat forces the water out and lets your feet breathe.
- Terrain Traction Pods for enhanced grip on land
- Non-marking, rubber outsoles
- Razor-Cut Wave-Siping™ for traction on wet surfaces
- MocFit construction cradles your feet
- SeaBound integrated energy return system provides underfoot cushioning
- Hydrophobic mesh upper with HydroPel technology sheds water, dries quickly
- OmniVent construction allows your feet to breathe

MTB Orienteering World Cup: clean sweep for Benham
Posted on | July 20, 2014 | Category: News
Three races, three victories: that is Emily Benham's haul from this weekend's World Cup races in Skåne, Sweden. The Great Britain rider has proved herself to be master of all three formats – Sprint, Middle and Long. Russia's Anton Foliforov had a second win in the Long Distance race today – he also won the Middle race.
Susanna Laurila, Finland had the closest time to Emily's at the end of the 30.9 km course. She was 48 seconds slower, and there was then a big gap to the third-placed rider, Martina Tichovska, Czech Republic who was 3.43 down on the winning time.
Foliforov's win was by 1.52, and there was a close fight for second place between Jan Svoboda, Czech Republic and Pekka Niemi, Finland, the former getting ahead by just 4 seconds. The men's race was over 40.2 km with 150 m climb.
Overall it was a good day for the Finnish team, who had four in the top six in the women's race and three in the top six in the men's.
The next time the world's MTB orienteering elite get together is for the World MTB Orienteering Championships, which will take place at Bialystok, Poland from 24th to 30th August. The Junior and World Masters Championships, and the European Youth Cup (for classes M/W 17), will be held in conjunction with the World Championships.

Armed with a pair of tap shoes and Fred Astaire, Tarzan and Gene Kelly as role models, Ken Grant headed for Los Angeles where he began a 30 year performing career in film, television and commercials. He first appeared in numerous variety shows such as The Sonny and Cher Show, The Carol Burnett Show, Tony Orlando and Dawn, The Carpenters and the Barbara Mandrell Show and was soon acting in sitcoms such as the Jefferson's and several soap operas. His film credits include Mame, Funny Lady and Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
While working in New York City, Ken and his wife helped develop an acting technique created specifically for camera and they have been teaching this technique for the last 20 years in LA, New York and Orlando. When they moved to Orlando to raise their family, he began working on shows for Nickelodeon, Disney and Universal as well as producing, directing and choreographing commercials, musical theater and several pilots for sit-coms and soap operas. Now that the kids are grown, and no one has figured out how to air-condition Florida in August, Ken has returned to California where he began his career and his great 'life adventure' in performing. Ken claims to be 'retired', but he just can't keep from getting involved in helping young (and not-so-young) performers improve their skills, develop their talent, and pursue their career in the fascinating world of entertainment. And, California is a GREAT place to 'retire'. (DEFINITION of 'RETIRE' – to replace one's tires, and keep on goin')


text: It is that time of the year after the bonus figures come out that people start looking for ways to switch jobs, even though the money is not paid until February . Anyway I am one of them. Though I am not exactly looking for a switch, there are four people knocking on my door . Well I can cut out 2 because they are not that special but I have 2 choices left that are extremely attractive on the career level but I cannot decide, especially in comparison to my existing job. So I am serious about this please vote - based on your instinct - simply on what you would do in my circumstance which will be another source of opinion I will consider carefully : I am looking to get out of the financial industry (temporary or not will be decided later, LOL) in a year's time because I want to hold a child in my arm before I'm 31. Which way would you choose? 1) Stay in my existing firm and keep the friends because it's only for one year and since I'm vaguely happy there is no need to jump ship. 2) Switch to arguably the most pretigious firm in the world (I say arguably because yes it is but names aren't that important at my career stage). 3) Switch to a hedge fund; nicer working hour with occasional client interaction but in 1 or 2 years time, I predict that hedge funds are going to fold big time because excluding the exceptional managers, they are going to get find out that they are just disguising a 'normal' return as their unique talent. Though this hedge fund is exceptional there is going to be collateral impact on it so it will be extremely volatile after this 1 year period. What do you think, pressing vote button is appreciated!

Review: Kiko Radiant Touch Stick Highlighter in 101 Rose
I got this item several years ago when I was in Italy, before highlighting and strobing became all the rage. I LOVE Kiko Cosmetics, and they recently have become available in Hongkong (unfortunately only in stores), but it means that you can get your Kiko fix somewhere in Asia, at least! Advertisements

Although thought to be a recent occurance, mutation has been with mankind for a long time. Apocalypse, worshiped as a god and harnessing the power of other mutants to become nigh immortal, has been awakened after thousands of years. Seeing the world for what it is he is disillusioned and, joined by his four horsemen, seeks to cleanse mankind and start anew. With the world on the line, Professor Xavier and a group of young mutants must work together and come up with a plan to stop the greatest threat the mutants, and the world, has ever seen. -- Chris Kavan

Not a bad X-Men film. I have to admit, I love the X-men, but these superhero movies have got to stop. I'm just tired of them. The gratuitous Wolverine cameo was just fan service. I do like the fact that they are getting rid of the all black suits in future films. But seriously, just stop it.

Rating of 2.5/4
X-MEN: Apocalypse is an overly long but pretty entertaining comic book movie. Bryan Singer finally lets the X-MEN fight and use their powers in all sorts of absurd ways. The gigantic cast is not evenly distributed; Olivia Munn is sorely underused as Psyclocke. But the newcomers are a welcome addition to the series. The movie clocks at two and a half hours same as Batman versus Superman and Captain America: Civil War. It's better than the first one but not quite as good as the latter. For the XMEN series, it's probably not the best but it's got so much jam packed and so many crazy things going on, it's too much to dismiss.

"X-Men Apocalypse" by Yojimbo
An ancient mutant is revived and enlists the aid of Magneto and three other powerful individuals to reshape the world in his own image. X-Men Apocalypse is a new X-Men origin story which takes advantage of the time meddling of Days Of Future Past to essentially ignore many of the previous events of the franchise. Bryan Singer once again takes the helm and in one scene even openly mocks the weakest instalment The Last Stand, but he actually makes many of the same mistakes of that particular film. There are too many characters - many feeling pointless and dispensable, the set pieces are handled like a child playing with action figures rather than providing any emotion or drama and the relationships are superficial and poorly realised; in particular the flashbacks to the first film and Firs...

X-Men: Too Many Cooks
X-Men Apocalypse is the culmination of the "new" X-Men films that began with First Class then ramped things up with Days of Future Past. Apocalypse tries to one-up the previous film but in doing so I think it oversteps and gives us a lot of characters but not enough depth. Sure, you still have plenty of cool mutants and a lot of destruction but little of the heart and character that worked so well in the previous films.
Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) says it best when coming out of "Return of the Jedi" - "Well, at least we can all agree the third one's always the worst." Apocalypse has probably the best and darkest villain out of any of the X-Men films. Sure, he may look somewhat ridiculous in that getup, but Oscar Isasc is frightening. The "first mutant&...

Solid Fan-Service, Less Exciting Sequel
'X-Men: Apocalypse' is the disappointing followup to the immaculate 'Days of Future Past'. Being a lifelong X-Men fan, I tried to set modest expectations after the towering success of the previous film in the series. This sequel continues in the new timeline set forth from the events of 'DOFP', seeing the younger versions of our older characters first meet the younger iterations of our able heroes from the other films. The biggest positive right off the bat is the new youthful cast of actors. All of their representations of the characters were on-point. Much time in the first half is spent on their introduction. The drawback to this being that we only see them in action for the final showdown. A big chunk of the first half is also used to setup the new villain, Apocalypse. He has ...

An Overview of the Small Business Deductions
January 13th. 2016
What is it?
The Small Business Deduction (SBD) is a deduction generally available to corporations in order to help reduce their taxes payable on their Active Business Income (ABI). Basically, the SBD serves as a way for small businesses to enjoy a reduced effective tax rate as they grow their operations. In the coming years, the SBD rate is expected to decrease.
ABI is generally defined as any business activity excluding income derived from property (such as rental, investment income, and royalties) or a "personal services business".
How much is it and who gets it?
In Ontario, the 2016 combined general provincial and federal tax rate without the SBD is 26% (2015 - 26.5%). If the corporation qualifies for the SBD they are eligible for a tax rate of 15% (2015 - 15.5%) on their first $500,000 of taxable income.
In order to qualify for the SBD, you must be a Canadian-controlled private corporation (CCPC). Some of the qualifications include:
1) The corporation is privately held and not publicly traded;
2) The corporation is a resident in Canada and was incorporated in Canada;
3) The corporation is not controlled directly or indirectly by one or more non-resident persons or public corporations.
If the company is a member of an associated group, the $500,000 must be shared amongst the members (at the taxpayer's discretion, ex. One corp. could have it all or can divide it up in any manner).
Taxable capital and the effect on small business deduction
The SBD could be restricted based on a company's taxable capital. In simple terms, taxable capital is the sum of the corporation's retained earnings, share capital, and loans payable by the corporation less investments and loans receivable. If the CCPC's taxable capital employed in Canada, in the previous year, meets or exceeds $15 million, the corporation loses their ability to claim the SBD. If their taxable capital employed in Canada is between $10 and $15 million in the previous tax year, the amount eligible for the SBD is reduced. These calculations are on an associated basis. Therefore, it is necessary to look at all associated companies in a group when doing this test and not company by company.
The SBD is a very useful deduction available for business as they start and grow in Canada but there are restrictions and rules that the taxpayer must be aware of to ensure they qualify.
Please contact S+C Partners LLP for advice on how to attain or maintain your SBD status for your corporation.

In a recent survey conducted among the children undergoing rehabilitation at CoRSU aged between 6-17 years, most of them asked the government to put up more Special Needs schools that can offer them free education. A big number of them cited their disabilities as the reason for failure to go to school. They said fellow pupils tease, harass and mock them. Another factor they mentioned was lack of scholastic materials. Statistics show that of the 589 children interviewed in the different parts of Uganda, 74% said lack of scholastic materials was a major issue affecting their education.
Teacher Miriam in class with some of the patients
As we join the world to celebrate the International Day of the African Child 2014 under the theme "A child friendly, quality, free and compulsory education for all children in Africa," we ought to reflect on the issues that affect the children and how we can do more to create a better conducive environment for them to grow. The UNICEF, Gender ministry and Economic Research Centre report on child poverty and deprivation shows that over half of Uganda's children live in extreme poverty. Nutrition, Water, health, sanitation, shelter, education and information are important aspects for any human being, mostly children. According to the report, a child is considered to be poor if they do not have at least two of these.
Nadege (C) with some of the pupils who took part in the survey
Among other rehabilitation services, we offer children classes during the time they spend at the hospital to keep them in line with their studies so that they do not lag behind. According to Miriam, their teacher, there are few Special Needs teachers in the country, yet teaching CwDs requires a lot of commitment and patience to bear with them in all conditions.
Education is a tool of empowerment for children in Africa, enabling them to achieve their maximum potential and enhancing their capacity to benefit from other entitlements that promote their well-being.
It is not easy, but if all of us in our capacities, either as government, NGOs, parents, teachers, health practitioners, community members or individuals can each contribute a block, we can in time easily roof this building.

They are so different!! I think going into broadcasting would be fun and interesting - but the job prospects are most likely quite competitive("keen competition" expected). I would think Radiography jobs would be easier to find (expected to rise 15% - avg pay = $45,000 - $50,000)- but would you be happy doing that??

The alert level has been raised for communities in the path of a tropical low that is forecast to become a category two cyclone when it crosses the West Australian coast on Saturday morning.
The cyclone, to be named Stan if it forms, would be the first for the Australian cyclone season.
Late last night WA's Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) issued a yellow alert for coastal communities from Pardoo to Whim Creek in the Pilbara, including Port Hedland and South Hedland.
"There is a possible threat to lives and homes as a cyclone is approaching the area. You need to take action and get ready to shelter from a cyclone," the alert said.
It advised people to tie down outdoor items, ensure pets were safe, move vehicles under cover, prepare emergency kits and be prepared to move to shelter if the alert level goes to red.
A lower level blue alert is current for communities between Bidyadanga to Pardoo including Marble Bar, Sandfire and Pardoo, and between Whim Creek to Mardie including Point Samson, Wickham, Roebourne, Karratha, Dampier and Pannawonica.
"Although there is no immediate danger you need to start preparing for dangerous weather and keep up to date," the alert said.
The Bureau of Meteorology said that at 9.02pm (WST) on Thursday the tropical low was about 415km north northwest of Port Hedland and 455km north of Karratha.
The low is forecast to become a tropical cyclone during Friday as it tracks southwards and is expected to reach category 2 intensity when it makes landfall on Saturday morning between Pardoo and Karratha.
Authorities are warning of gales in affected areas, destructive winds with gusts to 150km/h near the cyclone's centre on Saturday morning and afternoon, including in the Port Hedland area, along with heavy rainfall and higher than usual tides.
A flood watch is current for the Pilbara and a flood warning is current for the De Grey River Catchment.
Vessels have been evacuated from anchorages at Port Hedland.

Like it or not, life will continue to challenge us. That pesky pinky toe was indeed fractured on the inside corner of the smallest bone in the toe.
"Best place to break it," according to my doc. Well, I guess it is considered the best place, because unlike when you break the bigger bone in the toe (yes, unfortunately I've done this in the past…), when you break the smallest bone, it doesn't take you out of activities for nearly as long.
Although I haven't been inclined to run much lately due to a pervasive lack of motivation for it, the fact is I can run. I've been settling for 3 to 4 miles most days with a bit of walking. This weekend I got in a 5.8 as well as an 8, both with a fair amount of walking.
Delicious memories of Paris have kept me going this week. After a stop at the Crepe Stop (new cafe in Belmont), I remembered savoring the final crepe in Paris on my 30th birthday before we departed.

As some of you may know, I'm not a "little kid" person, and in the past, I've dreaded summer break because it meant entertaining my kiddos for two long months.
But this summer, as my posts have evidenced, my children have finally crossed the magical threshold and have become actual human beings (I'm being slightly facetious here, mommies, so don't bite my head off!) and to my delightful surprise, I found I enjoyed hanging out with them.
So although I started off this post thinking I'd do a 5 Things feature on what I'm looking forward to about going back to work (since tomorrow begins my first official day back on the job), I realized I'd rather focus on 5 Things that I'll miss about the Summer of 21014:
1. Dylan's gaming – This may seem a weird thing, but I really love watching my son play video games. For the longest time, I feared he'd be one of those weird, geeky, no-one-talks-to-him kids because he was very innocent – dare I say simple? – and wasn't this rough and tumble sports guy I'd envisioned a son of my husband to be. He was into stuffed animals (he had names for them all) and he still believed in fairies and Santa. I guess he was just a late bloomer because now, he's very much into his Xbox and his racing games and he's so very boy and I still marvel at it even as I wonder if this is one of those "be careful what you wish for" scenarios.
2. Aly's crafting – Much as I hate the mess and the enthusiasm I have to drum up for every single finished object, I do appreciate and admire Aly's creativity and resourcefulness. The things this gal can do with paper and duct tape amazes me to no end. I suppose I have Pinterest to thank for this, but regardless of where she gets her inspiration, I'm just thrilled that she's got such single-minded focus for a hobby. I wish she'd been a bookworm like me, but I'll take passion where I can find it.
3. Yogurtland – 'Nuff said. Oh, sure – I can still go and grab my taro/salted caramel/pistachio/coconut fix, but it won't be summer and it won't be in the middle of the day and it won't be the same. So yeah, I'll miss Yogurtland.
4. Getting on the treadmill – Who knew exercise would end up being such an integral part of my day? And to all you nature lovers/running purists who say treadmills are the devil, I have two words for you: Inland Empire. There was no way I'd have gotten an eighth of the running I got this summer without a treadmill – it's just too damned blazing inferno where I live. And now, I can't go a day without hopping on the thing, especially since I've gotten over my hangup about committing to 30 minutes at a time. Now, whenever I'm bored or full from a meal or stuck on a part in my story, I just hop on the thing, tune in to Pandora on my iPad, and get to running. I really wish I had a treadmill handy at work…
5. :: MCC :: Summer Edition – I loved Treasure Tuesdays! I loved Thrilled for Thursdays! I loved creating only 3 OOTD posts! It was so relaxing and undemanding and laid-back and liberating and damn! Why can't it be summer all year long? Tomorrow, we go back to our regularly scheduled programming with OOTDs five days a week and I don't know how I feel about this yet. Only time will tell.

THE SHACKLETON FOUNDATION LEADERS' FORUM Founded in 2015 by Shackleton Foundation trustee Karen Kwong, the Shackleton Leaders' Forum supports social entrepreneurs who seek to help disadvantaged and socially marginalised young people in the UK. These Leaders display many of Sir Ernest Shackleton's qualities such as leadership, resilience, inspiration, endurance and courage in trying to make the world a better place. The Foundation feels very strongly that it should support such pioneering individuals, to ensure their continued success in their quests. The Shackleton Leaders' Forum was created in March 2015 to invite Leaders to gatherings twice a year where speakers are invited to talk on a variety of pertinent topics. Here, the Leaders are also encouraged to network with and learn from each other, the speakers and the trustees – to share stories, challenges, resources and advice with each other. Here are the topics discussed in 2016:- 26th January – What donors look for in an effective charity by Plum Lomax (Shackleton Foundation trustee and Deputy Head of Funders, New Philanthropy Capital) 1st November – Emerging Themes in Social Entrepreneurship by Jerry Allen (Deputy Director of Enterprise) What some of the Leaders and Speakers have said: • 'It was powerful to have a small group and the reflections of the trustees of the Shackleton Foundation. It came at a very pertinent time for me and I'm grateful for the opportunity to attend.' • 'One of the most valuable parts of being a Shackleton Leader. As well as meeting some of the country's experts at the forefront of social innovation, the Forum gives us Leaders the opportunity to share best practice with one another and work through challenges together.' • 'A great experience for me having the opportunity to chat to peers in a focussed, purposeful manner around tackling educational disadvantage. Particularly, the opportunity to chat with fellow Leaders who face similar challenges and are in similar positions keeps your motivation high and has really helped solve some of our problems.' • 'Too often in the social enterprise / charity sector, those leading on innovative organisations and projects can feel that they are working by themselves to bring about social change. The Forum allows those people to reconnect with one another breathing new life into each member and reminding them they are part of a much bigger machinery which is changing lives and communities for the better.' For further information about the Shackleton Leaders' Forum please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. COMPLETING SIR ERNEST'S JOURNEY The expedition was inspired by Shackleton's heroic Trans- Antarctic journey of 1914-17 when, having been beaten to the Pole by Roald Amundsen, he tried to become the first to cross the continent. His ship sank in pack ice, but the heroic explorer and five men sailed 800 miles over open, stormy sea to South Georgia, from where a successful rescue could be launched. It was this spirit of endurance shown by Shackleton that inspired Hyundai Motor to visit the Antarctic and enable a member of Shackleton's family to complete a journey that had been started over 100 years ago. The Great Grandson of legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, Patrick Bergel has made history by becoming the first to drive a passenger car across the Antarctic. The 30-day route- driven in a Hyundai Santa Fe - traversed the continent from Union Camp to McMurdo and back again, completing the journey that Shackleton began over 100 years ago. The expedition, facilitated by Hyundai Motor, saw Patrick and small team cover almost 5,800km of icy terrain in bitter conditions. "Getting to the South Pole was a special moment. The fact that this was a place my great grandfather tried to get to more than once and I was there, it felt like a genuine connection." Scott Noh, Head of Overseas Marketing Group, Hyundai Motor Company said: "We were aware of Sir Ernest Shackleton's story and as a Company felt a resonance with his courage and pioneering spirit. Our film celebrates this spirit and through Patrick, his Great Grandson, completes his dream to cross Antarctica – just a hundred years later." The film can be viewed at shackletonsreturn.hyundai.com The Shackleton Foundation is grateful to Hyundai Motor Company for their generous support in this exciting tenth anniversary year. www.shackletonfoundation.org Newsletter Summer 2017 4
IMPACT REPORT Last year the Foundation published its first Impact Report, looking at the Shackleton Foundation's achievements. We have developed a system for collecting the impact of the organisations we have supported, requesting updates from our leaders six months and 12 months after our Leadership Award, plus a brief follow-up for two years after the Award has finished. This enables us to build a picture of how many people the organisations have collectively reached, the impact on those young people, and also details about the growth of the organisations themselves—in terms of income and staff numbers. And we're proud of our impact so far—as of October 2016, we had distributed £333,837 in awards to 34 Leaders, with an average award of £10,000. These Leaders have collectively reached 52,657 individuals, and we believe our early stage funding has contributed to this achievement. 9% 6% £90,000 22% 25% £80,000 £70,000 £60,000 £50,000 £40,000 7% £30,000 30% £20,000 £10,000 £0 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Community Life Skills & Employability Youth offending Education Physical & Mental Health Other Grants to date by sector Grants awarded over time SOCIAL ENTERPRISE IN THE UK The term 'social enterprise' was virtually unheard of ten years ago—and yet today there are over 70,000 social enterprises in the UK. Not all our Leaders are social enterprises, but many are—essentially businesses with a clear social mission that generate income through trading and reinvest the majority of their profits to further their social aims. They can be a variety of legal structures— with the most common being limited companies (usually also registered as charities) and community interest companies. Social enterprise is a growing sector in this country - almost half of all social enterprises are under five years old. They operate across all fields, with the most common social objectives being to improve health & wellbeing, supporting vulnerable people and improving a particular community. But accessing funding and financing remains really difficult for social enterprises according to the latest State of Social Enterprise Survey (2015) and is cited as the biggest barrier both to starting-up and achieving sustainability. And although more infrastructure now exists to provide support and finance to this sector, there is still a significant lack of small-scale, simple, unsecured investment—exactly what the Shackleton Foundation prides itself on providing for Leaders. CoachBright is a good example of a social enterprise that we have supported, founded by Robin Chu. CoachBright provides 1:1 coaching to pupils from low-income backgrounds to help them get into top universities. Its business model is one of charging schools for delivering the programme, mainly run by volunteer coaches, generating a steady stream of income for the organisation. 'The Shackleton Foundation gave me the confidence to take CoachBright off the ground. We would have died if it wasn't for the Foundation's intervention. The Shackleton Foundation has been a game-changer for CoachBright.' Robin Chu For further information about the Shackleton Foundation's impact please contact firstname.lastname@example.com www.shackletonfoundation.org Newsletter Summer 2017 5

. . . shopping! I needed to run some errands today and had my list, was ready to go, and decided that my darling daughter should come with me. By the time she was ready it was 1:00 p.m. ... we started at Trader Joe's where it is always crowded and it was pretty bad, but we got out of there fast. Then we went to Macy's and Target at a nearby mall. I could not believe how many people were in Target ... families shopping together. And it looked like they were shopping for sport, not to get stuff accomplished. Is it just me? This time of year I just want to get my errands done and get home, shopping is not a sport a few days before Christmas ... and definitely not something I see the whole family doing together. Maybe I'm missing out!
Yesterday the kids made a gingerbread house kit that we had had from last year. We weren't going to eat it, so I said it would be fine. The only problem was the icing was like paste ... it was sticky and thick and even microwaving it a little didn't help a whole lot. My son's girlfriend was visiting just for the day, and I figured it would be something fun for them all to do ... my son even participated while he was hooked up to his cold therapy machine!!
I promised you I would tell all about our Christmas party from the store. We draw names at the beginning of the year and then you do a nice gift for your person. We also bring small gifts for everyone that works there. There are a total of 10 of us now. It is always lots of fun ... we are almost never all of us together, and we are all friends, so its a lot of fun. We usually do it at someone's house so we can visit, and the gift giving tends to be a little crazy. It was at JoAnn's; I have never been to her house before ... it is just beautiful. It is like walking into one of those Country Living homes ... everything is just so, and she had little vignettes of Christmas displays everywhere ... walls, bathroom, etc. I already told you what I gave my person, and my friend that had me went crazy ... first, it was this fantastic bag
The bag would have been plenty, but when I opened it this was what was inside

30 Minutes Workout Blitz For Weight Loss
As it turns out, it is possible for you to stay in shape by working out in just half an hour. A weight loss research that involved moderately overweight male participants reports that people who engage in a daily 30 minute-workout regimen for 3 months lose an average of 8 pounds. It fared 2 pounds better compared to the 6 pound-average weight loss for people who works out for an entire hour.
60 overweight men who were all keen on shedding off some pounds were randomly divided into two groups – designation A and B. Group A was a moderate exercise group and Group B was high exercise group.
For 13 weeks, the participants from the high exercise group (Group B) engaged in intensive exercises like running and cycling for a solid hour. The other group, on the other hand, worked out for only half an hour within the same 13 week-duration.
At the end of the study, the participants who worked out for half an hour (Group A) showed similar or even more promising results that those who worked out for a solid hour (Group B). Thus researchers concluded that a 30 minute-workout blitz works better than an hour long workout.
What Makes For An Effective 30 Minute-Workout
According to 2006 Trainer of the Year Jonathan Ross, for your daily 30 minute-workout to be effective, it should consist of both resistance and cardiovascular training.
Ross likes to think that a workout that is two-thirds resistance training and one-third cardiovascular training works best. When translated into a 30 minute workout regimen, that's 20 minutes of resistance training and 10 minutes of cardio.
For people to transform their body into a lean and mean fighting machine, a workout that constantly demands for more intensity is what is required.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Drills and other Volleyball topics.
Here's a drill designed to remind setters that they must be a defensive player first, a setter 2nd.
Six players on each side. Coach tosses the ball to the side opposite your setter, free ball style. They run a play, setting the ball to either outside hitter. If the set goes to LF, they should hit or tip line. If it's set to RF, they should hit angle.
The idea is to hit or tip at the setter, in RB. The setter needs to be in proper position in order to pick up the ball. Then, the rest of the team must adjust, since the setter has taken the first ball.
It's a good drill to get your setter to play defense, instead of cheating up. It's also good for the rest of the team, which needs to be able to react when the setter is out of the play. It's even good for the hitting team, because they need to be thinking about where they want to place the ball.

Notice of Public Interest - Spring Icebreaking on the Saguenay River
News Release
Québec, Quebec
The Canadian Coast Guard advises residents and visitors along the Saguenay Fjord that the CCGS Des Groseilliers will begin spring icebreaking operations as early as March 13, 2017. The date is subject to change with no notice, as activities could begin before or after that period, depending on operational requirements or weather conditions.
Any facilities or equipment on the ice between Anse Saint-Jean and Saint-Basile-de-Tableau, and between Saint-Basile-de-Tableau, La Baie and Saint-Fulgence, must be moved safely ashore before 11:59 p.m. on March 12, 2017.
The Canadian Coast Guard strongly recommends that pedestrians, fishers and snowmobilers leave the ice when they see the icebreaker in the vicinity. The ice may move, creating a real danger for anyone in the area of operations carried out by this ship.
The purpose of this annual operation is to break up the ice in the Saguenay and at the entrances to the tributaries in order to prevent ice jams and flooding that may result from the spring thaw.
Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers have a red hull with a transverse white band in the centre, and a white funnel on top bearing a maple leaf.

Impromtu pic update
17w6d - taken on my friend's phone at work (with my lovely office tag behind my head), but figured some of you can't have enough pics! I'll do my usual weekly shot at home tomorrow, too.
Zumba tonight, and then off until after Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to a break but I guess I should really try to do something in between or I might be sorry! Baby's always pretty active after class, so it's fun to sit in the car on the ride home and feel baby getting its salsa moves on :) Dance, baby, dance!

From Vanessa Farquharson of the National Post:
- CBC Fall Preview: Erin Karpluk on the return of Being Erica
"If she could go forward in time — much like her character on the CBC show Being Erica — actress Erin Karpluk would probably want to know whether she was still playing the same role. Usually, she doesn't find out whether the network has renewed the show for another season until a few months before the cast is scheduled to shoot." Read more.

In the Shadow of a Meme
As the Frederick County election season starts, Democrat incumbents on the County Council will engage in an agenda of verbal trickery, historical revisions, and false outrage.
Over the course of this past week, Councilman Jerry Donald and Council Vice President M.C. Keegan-Ayer tipped their hand on how they intend to assist County Executive Jan Gardner with these tactics to counter Councilman Kirby Delauter's bid for county executive.
According to local media sources, the fiasco started after Councilman Donald posted his opinion about Councilman Delauter's position on the issue of Frederick County becoming a sanctuary county. The posting ended with Mr. Donald questioning Mr. Delauter's ability to represent Frederick County to Fortune 500 companies.
After Councilman Donald posted his profanity laced description of Councilman Delauter's position on the sanctuary county issue to Facebook, Donald's supporters embraced Mr. Donald's description with their own comments of similar nature.
One comment, was an image posted by a Donald supporter that showed a stern man with a young boy bent over his knee and beating the boy as if to punish him. Councilman Donald's face was placed over the stern man's face and Councilman Delauter's face was superimposed on the face of the small boy. The meme was just the start.
Councilman Delauter confronted Councilman Donald about the meme after a closed session of the Frederick County Council last Tuesday and suggested its removal. As I was not there, I will not comment as to what happened.
I will say, however, that Councilman Donald and Council Vice President Keegan-Ayer took to their Facebook pages to declare their outrage over it. Councilman Delauter was set up by Councilman Donald to fall into a well-laid political trap. Even Delauter's opponent Kathy Afzali could land a well-placed quip at Delauter's expense in the whole ordeal. This is not the fault of Councilman Delauter, but rather his County Executive campaign manager who did not see this coming a mile away. The local media covered the meme story in depth but completely missed the real story.
The real story was that Councilman Tony Chmelik successfully got the council to agree to conduct workshops referencing County Executive Jan Gardner's partisan reports on Frederick County land development and the erroneous report on how development increases traffic issues that cost the county tax payers considerably. Councilman Chmelik pressed home his request for an independent study of Ms. Gardner's partisan report after a 15-hour binge study of land development issues in Frederick County over Labor Day weekend.
Councilman Chmelik's persistence was much to the chagrin of Councilman Keegan-Ayer, who made every effort to thwart Mr. Chmelik in a stickily partisan defense of Ms. Gardner's data while being aided by Councilman Jessica Fitzwater who seemed to have been upset by the fact that Mr. Chmelik would debate any issues in depth and in the open. Ms. Fitzwater at one point seemed irritated because Mr. Chmelik did his homework, and she was unprepared to talk intelligently on the matters. She confessed that she had been busy on vacation and had not read the county executive's report or the study in question.
A "Request For Proposal" (RFP) for an independent study on development doom and gloom in Frederick County is on the way. It might not be as gloomy as the county executive would have everyone believe.
All the while Democrats are going after Councilman Delauter by baiting traps for his own reactions. Delauter's own campaign manager left Delauter ill-prepared for this predictable and classic political pitfall.
The result of this episode was that two Democrats on the County Council, through faux outrage, shifted the local media headlines from "FCC Questions County Executives Findings on Development" into "Meme Mayhem."

ANAHEIM — In the aftermath of the Angels' previous mind-boggling comeback victory, Cliff Pennington suggested that it could carry over. The next time they're a few downs run, he said, they'll be confident they can win.
His theory was proven correct in the very next game.
The Angels scored three runs in the ninth and the winner on Carlos Perez's safety squeeze in the 10th, beating the Texas Rangers, 6-5, on Tuesday night at Angel Stadium.
On the heels of Sunday's seven-run rally to win in the ninth, the Angels became the first team since the 1971 Detroit Tigers to win back-to-back games when trailing by at least three in the ninth.
"We were thinking about it, for sure," said Mike Trout, who contributed doubles to move along the rallies in the eighth and ninth and a spectacular catch in the 10th.
Added Cameron Maybin: "When you start to get closer and closer, you start to think, we're going to do it again. The chatter in the dugout was just that. We came back from seven. We can do three. Sunday's win was huge. It lets you know we're never out of a ballgame. You saw it tonight."
This one was relatively routine compared with Sunday's.
The Angels trailed 5-0 in the third, after a rough outing for Tyler Skaggs, and with Rangers' lefty Cole Hamels cruising along. The Angels didn't score until Jefry Marte's homer in the seventh.
Then they got one in the eighth, still leaving a three-run deficit for the ninth, with Texas closer Sam Dyson on the mound.
Danny Espinosa led off with a homer, his second of the season. The other was last week, when they overcame a two-run deficit in the ninth. Detecting a theme here?
An out later, Yunel Escobar yanked a double down the left-field line, the fourth time he'd been on base in the game. Kole Calhoun then hit a flyout, which brought Trout to the plate, with the Angels an out away from defeat.
Trout fell behind 0-and-2 and then he let two nasty sinkers go, barely outside. With fans chanting "M-V-P! M-V-P!" Trout rocketed the next one into right field for a double, bringing in Escobar and making it 5-4.
Next up was Albert Pujols, who lined a single into left, bringing Trout in with the tying run.
Unlike Sunday's game, though, they didn't get the winner in the ninth. The game went to extra innings, and before the Angels got to bat again, they had to get through Mike Napoli.
As all Angels fans know, Napoli has crushed the Angels consistently — no matter what uniform he's wearing — ever since the Angels traded him. He came into Tuesday's game with a .343 average and 19 homers against the Angels. He added to that with two hits before his bid for No. 20 against Cam Bedrosian in the 10th.
"Off the bat, I thought it was a homer," Trout said. "Then once I got to to the wall, I just made sure I caught it."
Trout leapt and brought it down, making it look almost easy. Neither he nor Maybin, watching from left, was sure if the ball was going out. Regardless, it was a huge out. The Angels got the next two and could return to what they felt was their inevitable victory.
Maybin started it with a walk. After Marte struck out, Espinosa yanked a single into right, sending Maybin to third.
Next was Perez, who had just entered the game in the top of the inning defensively after the Angels pinch-hit for Martin Maldonado. Before Perez even left the dugout, Scioscia told him he wanted a safety squeeze. A confident bunter, Perez was ready.
"I know I can put the bunt down," he said. "Just try not to be too perfect. Just put the ball down fair."
He was perfect, rolling his bunt up the first-base line. It rolled parallel to the chalk, leaving the Rangers no option but to stand there and hope for it to go foul. It stayed fair and the Angels mobbed Perez, celebrating yet another remarkable victory.
Just like Sunday, they allowed a starting pitcher to be smiling in the clubhouse despite a rough outing. This time Skaggs got help from his hitters and from five scoreless innings from the bullpen, including three from Bud Norris.
"It's frustrating but I'm happy my team picked me up," Skaggs said. "This is one of the best teams I've ever played on, and it's only been two weeks. It's incredible."

Getting Fit: Idea For Weight LossWhile many people are interested in losing weight, very few of them are actually successful with it. As a result, there is plenty of great advice available to help you out with losing weight. In this article you will learn some of the best tips available to successfully lose weight in a healthy way.
A great way to lose weight is to start doing HIIT cardio. "HIIT" is short for high intensity interval training. This training is great because you drastically reduce the amount of time you spend in the gym, and this method is proven to be more effective than regular cardio.
If you want to lose weight, try to eat all carbohydrates and fatty foods before 5pm. At night your metabolism goes down and as you sleep you don't burn that many calories. Keeping carbs and fatty foods confined to morning and afternoon hours ensures peak fat burning while you're awake and moving around.
A good tip for losing weight and helping you to be more aware of what you are eating is to record all of the foods and beverages that you consume for a week. Don't modify your diet in any way when you do this, you are just taking inventory of what you're putting in your mouth. After you've honestly recorded your food and beverage intake, you can make healthy changes.
Weight loss will go faster if you hold the bread. Eating out is not necessarily a bad thing. Unfortunately when you eat out, waiters quickly shuffle over with chips, dips, mixes, and hot loaves of bread. Do not accept them. Send them back if you have to. Your waist will thank you.
Buy a pedometer to track your steps. It can be a great investment if you are serious about losing weight. sindrome de west dieta cetogenica how many steps you have taken. Pedometers are not terribly expensive and can be found easily in stores or online. Make sure that you are taking at least 10,000 steps a day.
Eating foods that have healthy fats such as olives, salmon and walnuts will help you to feel satisfied for a longer period of time. Eating these foods will help you to eat less throughout the day because you will not be hungry, and it will prevent you from just eating anything you can find at the moment.
If you're having trouble getting rid of those last few pounds that just won't seem to come off, try boosting your workout intensity. Get your heart rate up to at least 85 percent of your maximum heart rate to get the most out of your workout and drop those stubborn pounds.
Do you love pizza? There will be occasions when you want to enjoy a slice of pizza, but you can make it a little bit healthier. Grab some napkins and blot the oil that is all over the pizza. dieta cetogenica ideas will help save yourself from extra calories and fat.
In order to avoid overeating at a restaurant, ask your server not to serve you bread or chips and salsa. If you are hungry, you will find it nearly impossible to resist if it is sitting in front of you. Chips are full of salt and the butter or fat in the bread or biscuits, will sabotage your weight loss efforts.
When attending a holiday cocktail party, get a low calorie drink like seltzer water and fruit juice as soon as you arrive. If you sip slowly on your drink, you will probably not fill up on high calorie cocktails. Having one of your hands busy can keep you from sampling the snacks as well.
Eating a high-fiber diet can help you lose weight. Foods that are rich in fiber make you feel more full, so you won't be tempted to eat as much. Start your day off with a high-fiber breakfast. A bowl of oatmeal or other whole grain hot cereal is a good choice. Try topping it with some fresh fruit.
Avoid eating fried foods to lose weight. Fried foods are high in fat, and will pack on the pounds very easily. Try roasting, steaming, poaching, baking, braising or broiling the foods that you are cooking. These options do not add any extra fat into your diet, and will help to keep the nutritional value of the food high.
If you are dining out, be prepared for the portion sizes. Most restaurants give you extremely large portions. When you receive large food portions, you are more likely to try to eat as much as you can. To avoid this, try splitting a meal with your dining partner. It can help prevent you from overeating and save you a little money.
Many times a restaurant will give you way too much food for a meal. If they let you, order off the kids menu. The portion that kids are served are really the amount that an adult should be eating. If they won't let you place the order, order your meal from the appetizer section.
Constant yo-yo dieting is not healthy when it comes to weight loss. You may lose some weight at first, but will tend to gain and it right back after and then some. It is best to change your diet for good to one that is best for you. This way you lose weight and keep it off.
Trying to lose weight can be frustrating, but you can reach your goals if you try harder and smarter. You shouldn't simply measure your weight; measure the size of specifics like your legs, arms, and waist.
This article can only reinforce the idea that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Losing weight to gain a healthier body is fine, but obsession over weight can be unhealthy. Learning how to lose fat fast is dangerous; this article is a guide to losing weight gradually and in a healthy manner, promoting a lifestyle that will help you lose it and keep it off.
