The Clamor Over Cloth Diapers: Is the Eco-Payoff Truly Worth the Initiative?
I have 2 children. I did not fabric diaper them, nor did I attempt that removal interaction thing where you try to analyze your infant's various faces in order to correctly forecast when you need to hold their nude bottom over a mixing dish that you will presumably never ever once again make use of for cooking purposes. If I approximate we underwent an average of six baby diapers a day for every youngster, that's an overall of 8,760 disposable baby diapers I sent to garbage dumps during the initial two years of their lives.
The grand overall is even more than that, naturally, because I don't remember either one of my kids supplanting their 2nd birthday by all of a sudden deciding to be potty educated.
We are well past the diaper stage now as well as I have exactly zero strategies to revisit it ever before again, excepting drastic unpredicted scenarios like having to own cross-country to challenge a romantic opponent or holding an 11-hour filibuster, but my efforts to lead a more environmentally friendly way of life have led me to ask yourself: if I needed to do it throughout once again, would certainly I utilize cloth this time?
I'll be straightforward, I never ever even considered it when my youngsters were little bit, since it looked like a great deal of additional job. A great deal of poopy additional job. Splashing the poop, scratching the poop, saturating the poop in jugs, cheerfully throwing poop-smeared fabric into the washering. I didn't comprehend the lingo: liners, pre-folds, apartments, fitteds. I had not been even curious about educating myself on the subject, disposables just seemed like the way to go.
I Will Never ever Live Without Paper Towels (but Do not Tell Any person).
Fabric diapering appears to have come back in vogue lately, many thanks to much easier fasteners and also super-cute materials. I have actually long believed that the pattern of showing off adorable baby butts swaddled in captivating patterns has led to a rise in the number of people that urge that towel diapering is better for the setting.
There's no question that disposable baby diapers develop a LOT of waste.
Around 27.4 billion disposable baby diapers are utilized every year in the United States, resulting in a feasible 3.4 million tons of used baby diapers added to land fills every year. One research approximates that the $7 billion dollar non reusable baby diaper market uses over 300 extra pounds of wood, 50 extra pounds of oil feedstocks, and 20 extra pounds of chlorine for every child annually.
Those numbers seem jaw-droppingly terrible, until you consider that cloth diapering likewise has an unfavorable affect on the atmosphere. Fabric diapers use up huge quantities of electrical energy as well as water for cleaning and also drying, and also business diaper solution delivery trucks eat fuel and create air contamination.
Well, however what about those contaminants in non reusable diapers, the ones some individuals state can seep from landfills to infect ground water?
According to the EPA:.
Non reusable diapers drop under the group of local strong waste, which suggests the product is safe to be taken care of in a UNITED STATE metropolitan strong waste garbage dump. In the U.S., contemporary garbage dumps are well-engineered centers that lie, created, operated, and also monitored to ensure conformity with government regulations which intend to protect the setting from contaminants which might exist in the solid waste stream.
Invest just a couple of mins diving down Google's various educational rabbit-holes, and you could locate thousands of arguments both for and also versus fabric baby diapers, along with extensive research studies that eventually caused a sort of intricate shrug from the professionals.
" Disposables consume more raw materials and produce even more strong waste … yet towel baby diaper manufacturing and use eat even more water as well as power and also create even more … atmospheric exhausts and waste water effluent," creates Allen Hershkowitz of the Natural Resources Protection Council.
And then theres this concerning Diapers:.
" Both the non reusable and multiple-use baby diaper choices produce strong waste as well as wastewater that should be dealt with and/or gotten rid of. A lot more strong waste is created with the disposal choice, while more wastewater is produced with the multiple-use option," composes Jeremy O'Brien, director of applied study at the Solid Waste Organization of North America.
Damned if you do, damned if you do not. Possibly that blending bowl isn't such a bad concept.

So exactly how's a moms and dad intended to sift with all the various point of views in order to make the environmentally-friendly choice?
I have no idea that there's a one-size-fits-all answer to the wonderful baby diaper discussion.
My personal sensation is that towel is the much better alternative for those devoted to living environment-friendly, considered that you can do points like line completely dry the materials, purchase energy efficient devices, wash on chilly, and so on. A three-year research study by the London-based Environmental Agency concluded that there was "no substantial distinction" between the ecological effect of cloth and non reusable baby diapers– however they do clear up that actions could be taken to reduce the impact of fabric diapering:.
The environmental impacts of making use of shaped recyclable diapers can be greater or lower than utilizing disposables, relying on how they are washed. Unlike the use of disposable diapers, it is consumers' habits after purchase that identifies most of the effects from multiple-use baby diapers.
In spite of our best interests, disposables simply obtain thrown in the garbage, as well as there's no way around that. It's not even recognized exactly how lengthy it takes for a non reusable diaper to decay.
I'm likewise unclear what my verdict is from all this. I feel like I've come around to thinking that towel diapering is the a lot more accountable decision– and also the more economical one over the long term– however would I walk the stroll? I honestly don't know. I have very difficult memories of those very early parenting days, and also I'm not exactly sure that I would certainly have been able to commit to cloth. It's not that I would have been squeamish concerning the poop, it's that I bear in mind feeling so … at capacity. Exhausted and also distressed and, you recognize, basically already drowning under a mountain of laundry.
Yet possibly I would have, if I 'd spent time right into taking into consideration the options prior to me instead of blindly opting for exactly what seemed simplest.

Rerun of the Mensa Chimps! (4-15-2008)
But sometimes, I think the narrators are in serious need of an intervention.
We were watching a show on PBS called "Primates" as told by a British researcher and nature hottie as she traipsed through the jungle in New Guinea and later in Matagascar to document the lives of various primates. One expects the researcher to love her subject. I can't imagine braving the sub-topical heat, countless bugs, assorted necessary vaccinations and physical deprivations required of this type of research, unless one was in love with the subject matter.
However, this babe's breathless descriptions of the various creatures and their habits and habitat paralleled that of the type of fan that is normally issued a restraining order.
In her first segment on orangutans, she was attempting to describe how these creatures move from limb to limb on a tree without suffering injury or breaking the branches.
"Careful judgment is called for, the orangutan must determine not simply the weight of the branches, but also the amount of force to be applied while taking into consideration his own weight. These calculations would be difficult even for a human." she whispered as we viewed said calculating primate move from branch to branch with nary a slide ruler.
Who knew orangutans could rival the engineers at MIT?
Still, the critters were pretty interesting so I watched the next segment on chimpanzees. As we viewed the "thoughtful stoic faces" of a family at peace with the world, she talked of how these chimps would sit for hours contemplating the world around them and showed footage of the chimps staring out at the jungle.
"Perhaps most startling about these pensive creatures is their sense of awe at nature." She offered as she hiked to a local waterfall. "These chimps perform this same ritual every time they come to the waterfall." The chimp on film is jumping from one side to the other in a zig zag pattern. "They do this whether they are alone or in a pack." The footage shows the same chimp zigzagging with others over the waterfall. "This celebration of the water could be some form of ritual, signifying the higher awareness of the chimps, their sense of beauty, of wonder at the majesty of nature."
She paused to look at the waterfall thoughtfully and then mentally went over the edge. "It could be their expression of essentially what for us would be religion." The image of the waterfall blurred on the camera and the scene faded to black.
Following the religious chimps, she then took us with a war party from the same colony who set out to defend their territory. "The attack is brutal, unexpected, viscous and sends a clear message. But perhaps who are we to judge?" she posits as we are left with the shocking image of four angry chimps mauling a fifth for not showing due deference to their territory. Maybe the waterfall was a form of confession.
After the monkish monkeys, the film crew took us to an Amazon Utopia, where Pygmy chimps used sex as the dominant means of controlling behavior. Women (note not females) ruled the roost and over aggressive males were pacified with "a quickie." Also unique amongst this "chimp culture" was the use of tools and the occasional decision to walk on two legs instead of hunched over on four. The use of tools and the fact that some were left handed as versus right indicated "imagination, creativity, problem solving, intelligence and a sub culture." This particular cluster of chimps had determined how to open a kind of nut rich in protein that other chimp families could not open by using stones. More advanced than others, they had formed a chimp charter Mensa organization.
Though not the first to anthropromorphise the creatures she studied, I couldn't bring myself to not see how far she would take it.
The silver back gorillas in Rwanda were obviously the grand prize of her documentary and she had us follow her through the bush to their territory, where the whole clan was having a "siesta." Seated less than five feet from one of the gorillas, she talked about these gentle giants that are so closely related to us, showing shots of the "children playing," the adults lovingly grooming, and others enjoying a well earned rest. I had to wonder, what exactly fatigues a gorilla, I mean besides nosy documenting film crews and the ongoing feud between the sex amazon monkeys, Mensa Chimps and religious sect.
When they woke from their rest, the lead silverback "sensibly" led them away from the camera but two adolescent males stayed behind as a rear guard and to "show off for the camera." She said. One knocked over a tree and thumped his chest. The second dragged the tree over to him and then went over and lightly tapped the intruding narrator on her back with his foot. She beamed with pleasure at having been brought into the game. "I've just been kicked by a gorilla!" she grinned impishly at the camera as though it had caught her first kiss. The second adolescent male, not to be outdone, charged at her and knocked her over before the behind the scenes guide could chase him off. She turned to the camera, breathless and hardly missing a beat, "Who knows what he might have tried if the guide hadn't driven him off?"
After the sex chimp colony, I was certain I didn't want to know.

oh my gawddness.
that's just awful.
I mean really really awful.
reminds me of the bearlover who never took any weapons with him while camping in known bear territory..this way the friendly bears would know he didn't want to hurt them. After Yogi killed him and his girlfriend they found the audio recording that they were making of the wondrous proof that they were making contact with the bears.....I read the transcript, the part that stuck with me was him yelling to the girlfriend "he's killing me! hit him with something! get him off! get something!!" .......of course, they had nothing to defend themselves with....

Well I have only ever made one resolution that I have ever kept: becoming a vegetarian and this year marks my 20th year as a vegetarian. Can you believe it? I can't! But a couple of years ago, I joined the One Little Word bandwagon and love that approach to resolution making so much more. One word that you work on engendering in your life throughout the year, in the various ways that the word manifests itself.
Last year I chose balance... and I'll be honest, it didn't go as well as I'd have liked. This probably means that I should keep working on it, but well, I like the fresh start so I'll be picking something else for this year.
The year before that, I chose nurture and loved it. I wanted to nurture creativity in my life and since then my life has become one full of craftiness, from etsy to craft fairs, to just finding my own creative voice(s).
This year I'm going with story because I want to engender a couple different themes in my life this year:
- The story of family and home and the new traditions that Paul and I are continuing to create for our little family in our new home
|This year we celebrated with my family, who flew in from BC and the UK (and bused in from Ontario)
- I want to rethink what my story is in the coming years. I'm in this home in the suburbs, happily married to this wonderful life partner, but still long for adventure beyond house and family. I don't want the white picket fence life, even while I do. So I feel like the challenge in the next few years for me is going to be learning to find a balance between the two in order to live a life-story that embodies who I aspire to be in the world. It's a tall order, but I want to think about story in a way that means what is the story I (we) am (are) creating and what conscious decisions are we making in order to make it the best story that we can.

A new Economic Policy Institute report that is highly critical of the so-called "education reform" movement reads like an indictment of Deborah Gist's tenure as commissioner of public schools in Rhode Island.
The report compares large urban school districts with New York, Chicago and Washington DC – three cities that have implemented strategies almost identical to Gist's – and discovers "the reforms deliver few benefits, often harm the students they purport to help, and divert attention from a set of other, less visible policies with more promise to weaken the link between poverty and low educational attainment."
Here in Rhode Island, the achievement gaps have increased as well as we've implemented the same agenda as New York, Chicago and Washington D.C. In fact, Gist is a protege of Michelle Rhee, the DC-area reformer whom the report was specifically critical of.
While Rhode Island and/or Gist were not cited, the report deals with almost every controversial decision Gist has made during her tenure: teacher firings, school closures, high stakes tests, charter schools, poor educator morale, poverty. It even addresses the rhetoric so-called "reformers" use to dodge questions about actual results:
Some reformers position their policies as higher minded than the policies advocated by others. Rhee and Klein advance a "no excuses" response to those who say poverty is an impediment to education, and frequently label those with whom they disagree as "defending the status quo" (StudentsFirst 2011). Others, such as Duncan, acknowledge the impact of poverty and promote a larger range of policies, while still emphasizing the same core set of reforms. But the question most critical for the millions of at-risk students and their families—and the nation as a whole—is not whether one group or another is "reforming" or "making excuses," but what works and what does not.

If you have Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T or Sprint you can now text 911 if you need assistance. The problem is that it's up to each individual 911 call center to choose if and when they accept text messages. So before you start texting, instead of calling, you should check to see if your area supports text-to-911.
While it makes sense that texting can be much easier than calling in case of an emergency, the 911 operator is still going to want answers to a list of questions about your location, the nature of the emergency etc.
Would you trust texting 911 in case of emergency?

This has nothing to do with what we are arguing about... I never said it's all about size - but smaller players are outliers - never really picked high in draft. In the last 10 drafts - 2 players under 6 feet were drafted in top 3 - Yakupov and Duchesne.

Songs and Whispers tour with Astrid's Farm and Kid Decker is over. Initially I prepared an acoustic/electric set with my guitarist, Bish, combining laptops sounds with live instruments. Towards the end of the tour, musicians from Astrid's Farm and Kid Decker joined me on stage to perform songs together. It was a great experience to play shows in Germany, and visit cities like Hamburg, Bremen, Bremerhaven and Gottingen. Thanks everyone who came to the shows!

The Gilles Villeneuve Circuit is perhaps the only one of the Formula 1 calendar that can be driven entirely by street cars, even with its kerbs and with just some understandable limitations. I felt like I was there with my guitar earlier this year, but recently I actually was there in a sunny and warm, perfect November day. There was almost nobody in the circuit, it was all for me and that made it even more special. I really think how special it is to drive in a Formula 1 circuit. Many football lovers would fulfil a dream if playing football in the grass of Bernabeu or Old Trafford Stadiums. That´s exactly how I feel in Formula 1 circuits. Driving and vibrating over the kerbs, approaching the Wall of Champions, caring about the grip on the chicanes, or wondering how Formula 1 cars can go through those narrow curves five times faster than me, gave me a new grade in the understanding of this sport.
It was a complete Formula 1 week, as I was also delighted to meet the guys of F1 Boutique Canada in old Montreal (who told me about the huge transformation of the city on the week of the Grand Prix), and not so delighted to watch the end of the Championship in Abu Dhabi because of the Fernando Alonso defeat. Very nice and remarkable Formula 1 season anyway, especially for me.

2015 Minuit Syrah-Ciel du Cheval
Red Mountain Washington State Syrah
AVA: Red Mountain * Elevation: 700 Ft. * Exposure: South West * Soils: Sand Loam * Clone: Tablas Creek * Harvest Date: August 7 th, 2015 * Native Yeast Fermentation * 100% Whole Cluster * Elevage: 11 months in terracotta amphora and 6 additional months in 5-year, air-dried 228L barrels.
This is special wine everyone told us not make. We drew inspiration from wines we tasted that were raised in amphora. We felt that maybe this vessel could be the answer to peeling away some of the ragged tannins created by fermenting Syrah 100% whole cluster. We added no sulfur and let the spontaneous fermentation take over. We switched between pump over and pigage and finally only hand pressing toward the end. The resulting wines came out black like midnight with layers of fruit spice and texture. Through elevage the wine blossomed, starting off with dark, brambly blue fruit then changing over to savory and bloody tones. After additional six months in barrel, we couldn't be happier with the result . Our syrah is rich and exotic, but most of all we believe it will keep you pondering long after the bottle is gone. Special thanks to Andrew Rich for selling us the grapes!

All I am saying is that most of us sometimes have to face something crucial: Which is my real style?
To make things less complicated,a good idea is to try on different looks depending on your mood!
One day you may want to dress up like a rock n' roll queen and the other you may prefer to keep it simple yet chic.
After all,fashion is about trying different looks everyday,letting yourself find out what is best for you,and what you really love wearing.
Why trying to be like everybody else when you can form some looks that you really like depending on your own taste and mood?
My goal is to try something different everyday. If you are confused about what is your true mark in style you should set yourself free to discover what is best for you..In the end it only matters that you feel good with it,that only you have chosen to be like that and other people will love your style too :)
So,here are some different looks that all of us could try,just to find out what is best!
Which one is your favorite?Are you willing to try this idea?
xo Lily

Do you celebrate Cinco de Mayo? We typically don't celebrate or honestly, cook many Mexican dishes at our home. After making Mexican Pizza with Chipotle Orange Sauce, and enjoying it along with a Margarita, I can see why Cinco de Mayo Recipes are such a hit.
My friend Jen from Juanita's Cocina is always excited about Mexican Cuisine and couldn't wait to host these week's #SundaySupper event. After seeing all the beautiful recipes that the Sunday Supper Team came up with, I think will be enjoying more Mexican recipes at our home.
Since Alexandra and her boyfriend are quite the college foodies, ( I am not kidding, they eat quite well for college students) I decided to turn to them for some inspiration. We played in the kitchen until we came up with this recipe for Mexican Pizza with Orange Chipotle Sauce and… it truly was spectacular! The best part about it, I love that we can set up a Mexican Pizza Station and everyone can add their own toppings to create their own masterpiece.
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 sliced Red Bell Pepper
- 1 sliced Yellow Bell Pepper
- 1 large Onion sliced (I love Red or Vidalia)
- 2 tablespoons minced Garlic
- 2 cups of cooked Pork
- 4 Flour Tortillas
- Cilantro to garnish
- For the Sauce:
- 1 Chipotle Pepper in adobo sauce
- 3 tablespoons smoked Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- ½ cup Orange Juice (or juice from 2 Oranges)
- ½ teaspoon Orange Zest
- Add Butter to large Sauce Pan and melt
- Add Red Bell Pepper, Yellow Bell Pepper and Onion and cook until soft. Approximately 10 minutes
- Add Garlic and cook for approximately 5 minutes
- Add Pork and simmer for 10 minutes
- For the Sauce:
- Blend Chipotle Pepper, Paprika, Mayonnaise and Lemon Juice in a blender
- Preheat oven to 350
- Place the Pork mixture on top of each Tortilla on a baking sheet
- Bake for approximately 5 minutes
- Drizzle the Chipotle Orange Sauce over each Pizza and bake for an additional 5 minutes
- Garnish with Cilantro

Tiny house movement is about downsizing your home and your requirement of living by making significant changes in architectural and structural forms. Now, the tiny house movement had gained popularity as it has not only reduced the size of the house but the cost of maintenance as well. Owing to the scarcity of livable space in cities, people have started living in friend's lawn or near offices. They have not only saved the time of commuting, but also the potential time for productive work.
Since people have started living in tiny houses, they have altered many habits.
Try to spend more time on social media
Since the tiny house is just well suited to the small environment, the choice of furniture should also be the same. Now, if you feel too much clumsy in the small area, then you can dedicate time to mobile and effective communication might be. In maximum cases, tiny houses are not on the main roads. So, you may not have the privilege of a balcony, watching traffic and public.
Spend time doing some activity
Well, if you are bored sitting in a small place indulge in some daily activities like shopping or walking as you will require limited things for your daily necessity. You may join a gym to keep fit or might try football or other group activity. Similarly, if you are fond of music, spend time listening to new albums each day. Try practicing new notes on a guitar so that you can master original tunes and songs.
Try to meditate or start writing blogs
A tiny house is the best place where you can practice meditation. Meditation will help you concentrate on your daily activity and focus. You will grow determination, and your concentration will improve. You can make enough time to develop hobbies, and can creatively start your day. Start writing diary or blogs. You can also pen down your thoughts of the day. You will find yourself more focused and confident. http://buildtiny.house/tiny-houses-for-sale-in-ohio-oh/
Research work for entrepreneurs
In case you are n entrepreneur, CEO of a start-up company, you will have more time to do research. Spend time on the net. Remain focused on your goals. Staying in a tiny house near to your office address will save your commuting time and the time you save can use for constructive activities.
Try making new dishes
In case you are lucky and your friends ask for a weekend party, be prepared to cook your delightful recipes. There is nothing like cooking which can de-stress you. Get up early, finish cooking, washing and finally eating.
Moreover, when you want to shift to the tiny house, make the following adjustments:
- Remove unnecessary objects and thereby de-clutter the room.
- Try to buy multi-utility furniture that will result in economy of space.
- Be particular in case of internet line and another electricity socket. You have to design according to your preference.
For people like the student, office goers or any single person who want to spend more time with oneself, tiny house is the best solution. Adjust your nature according to the environment, so that you can be the happiest person living in a tiny apartment.

text: Home > Fitness > Exercise Updated 30 September 2014 How to choose a fitness programme If you're exercising with a particular goal in mind, you need to follow a programme that's designed to progress you towards that goal in the safest and most effective manner possible. So how do you know if your fitness programme is right for you? 2 Related 44 of the best bodyweight exercises 5 exercises for a killer six-pack Lift heavy to get lean take a Flexibility test » Receive Health tips » Ask Fitness Expert » Join Health24 on Facebook » 10 minute bikini-ready workout Why you need strength to run Roland Jungwirth, a Cape Town-based strength and conditioning coach has been in the industry for long enough to be able to spot a good programme from a bad one in his sleep. For the rest of us however, it's not so simple.Here are some basic tips on how to make sure your programme is not only progressing you in the right direction, but is also safe, relevant to your goals and sustainable."Exercise programming is more than just exercise selection, it needs to take the client's lifestyle into consideration and should be adapted accordingly. Although we can group most fitness goals into clear categories, the effectiveness of a plan to reach these goals depends on the person's current and previous lifestyle choices and the adherence to the plan," he says.The good, the bad and the totally unnecessaryRoland says that the base of any good programme has to be a goal, and as a trainee, it is important that you define your own goals. Whether your goal is to lose weight, get stronger, or to train for a specific event, the primary aim of your programme is that it is designed specifically for you and said goals.According to Roland, the basic concepts a good programme should involve are the following:Function over form: We all have seen people that look incredible but don't move gracefully. Although we all want to look good naked, in order to lead a healthy life, we need to be able to function properly.Safe: Be sure that your programme does not deteriorate your health. After all, reaching your goal today and then falling apart tomorrow should never be the goal.Periodisation (Cycles or Time structure): As with any endeavour, we need to give ourselves rest from pushing our limits. A good programme is one that periodises the training volume (in the context of the goal). Don't fall for programmes that tell you that you need to push hard all of the time, this is counter productive and will come at a cost. The price will be either (overuse) injury, adrenal fatigue and/or health problems later in life. Also, you are in this for the long haul, taking a week off does not impede your progress, it will help it. As with everything in life, there is a time to push your work output and then there is time where we need to rest. This gives us the opportunity to assess our progress, reset our mind and let our body rest. This means taking a week off of training every six to eight weeks. For the fitness enthusiast this is very hard to understand, as they think they need their "daily fix". We have this mindset as we are being consistently told that any training is better than none, which - depending on the context - can be incorrect.Improving bad joint positioning: Approximately 90% of people sit most of the day. This results in bad posture and will increase incorrect spinal alignment, tight hips and rounded shoulders. "I see the effect of this daily, chronic lower back pains, limited shoulder mobility and tension headaches. Any good programme will address these bad daily habits through specific mobility and stability exercises."Strength: We all need to get stronger. Not only will this make us more useful in any real life scenario, it will increase our bone density, increase our anabolic hormone release (this keeps you younger) and brings with it a great sense of achievement.A good programme needs to make you stronger – for example you need to be able to lift more weight off the floor after four weeks on a programme than when you started.Simple exercises done at relative high intensity: With the advent of "advanced" strength and conditioning programmes, we see beginners do technically advanced movements at high intensity. These movements have no place in a beginner's programme. If you cannot do an exercise perfectly for at least 5 repetitions, you won't be doing it better when you increase the speed or the weight.Adaptability: Every programme needs to accommodate for life happening. Remember most of us are not paid athletes, so our training programme needs to allow for those days where you did not sleep enough or other stressors make training senseless.How to spot a bad programmeIf you are already following a programme but you're either not seeing any results, or maybe not seeing the results you wanted to see, perhaps it's time to re-evaluate your programme and see if it really is right for you.Roland outlines some tips to spot a 'bad' programme:Any programme which leaves you constantly injured - this includes chronic taped up body parts. If you're not a professional athlete you shouldn't be getting injured so often.A complex programme - anyone can trash somebody by throwing together a number of exercises and repetitions. Yes, this will get you sweaty and tired but even this is not a good marker for a good programme. Remember that the magic comes in the simplicity, so go for the simple programme.Any programme that does not result in measurable improvement – if you're not getting stronger or faster than you did at the beginning then it's time to rethink your programme. No short-cuts "We are all looking for the magic pill that will make us healthy, happy and look good naked. But short-cuts will always come at a cost (if they exist at all) and we need to manage the risk and assess whether the reward is worth the worst case scenario. So take a good look at what you are doing and whether this has brought you any closer to your goal. If not, it's time to change your plan of action," he says.However he does concede that 'any plan is better than no plan' and points out that any good plan needs to involve a specific goal, preferably with a time constraint and a way to keep you committed and accountable.The first thing to do is define your SMART goal. Then find someone who is qualified to design you a programme to help you meet your goals within a set time-frame and in a safe and structured way.

The expectant father
He still asks perturbing questions from time to time. "How long until he gets interesting?" was the most recent one.
"How do you mean?" I replied, putting down my book and reaching for my special tablets.
"How long before he can smile, crawl, talk to me about the Battle of Jutland, that sort of thing?"
"Ah. Respectively, six months, nine months and, if he takes after you, a year, or after me, never."
"What do we do for the first six months, then?"
"I look after him and you look after me."
"Right you are."
Everything will work out eventually, I'm sure. I'm sure.

Valen Lore
This realm lies in the north east of Southern Vale and is bordered by Alabanylya and Holdfast. It is known by many as the King's realm and is the primary seat of power in the north. It is a land of powerful magics and even deadlier diplomacy. At the heart of the kingdom is an area of land known as the Dragons Causeway. Avoided by most, the causeway is treacherous and many have lost their lives attempting to investigate the unnatural phenomenon. The ground is cracked in many places and periodic blasts of hot air and occasionally fire burst forth from the cracks without warning. Stories claim that it is so named due to the inhabitants of dragons nesting in subteranean caverns just beneath the surface of the earth.

Section 2: To what extent was Germany responsible for the outbreak of the First World War
- Created by: pandoracatwell
- Created on: 09-01-16 12:24
The historical debate (pt.1)
In the aftermath of the WWI the victorious countries seemed in no doubt who had caused the war: Germany and her allies. The Treaty of Varseilles included a 'war guilt clause' which compelled Germany to accept repsonsibility for the war. Following WWII however, and in the context of reconciliation between France and Germany, the historical consenus was that WWI had been a collective European failure. It was argued that the European diplomatic system of opposing alliances and competition over empires and weapons had caused countries to move towards conflict: no single country could be singled out for particular blame.
The Fischer Thesis
- This historical consensus was challenged in 1961 by German historian Fritz Fischer who argued in his book Germany's Aims in the First World War, that in the years prior to WWI Germany had a plan for European domination which led to the pursuit of an aggressive foreign policy and ultimately war. Fischer developed his arguments in 1969 War of Illusions.
The historical debate (pt.2)
Arguments that Germany was responsible
- Under Kaiser Wilhelm II's leadership, Germany pursued European hedgemony (dominance).
- Before WWI, Germany's foreign policy was nationalistic and militaristic.
- Germany planned to have a major European war in order to gain hedgemony in Europe.
- Germany antagonised other Great Powers in Europe in the years leading up to the war and followed a course of confrontation with Russia, France and Britain.
- Germany took decisions in the summer of 1914, following the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, that led to war.
The historical debate (Pt.3)
Arguments that Germany was not responsible
- There is no clear evidence that Germany had a long-term plan of aggression in relation to WWI: they just planned for the possibility of a war. It could be argued that Germany felt that in the Entente powers they faced an aggressive and hostile coalition.
- Other European powers participated in events that caused conflict in the years leading to WWI.
- All European Great Powers were part of an alliance system that created tensions between nations in Europe before the war.
- Britain, France, Russia and Germany contributed to the build-up of weapons before WWI.
- The crisis following the murder of Franz Ferdinand that led to war in the summer of 1914 was not started by Germany and nor was Germany the only power to make decisions in July 1914 that caused the conflict to escalate.
Did Germany have a long-term plan for European heg
- From the 1890s, Germany followed a policy of world politics which entailed seeking colonial expansion and a more dominant position in Europe and the world. Germany built up its military might, particuarly through naval expansion, and acquired imperial possessions in Africa. From 1896, the Kaiser shaped his government to include ministers and Chancellors (such as von Bulow) who shared his vision.
- Weltpolitik can be interpreted as confrontational as it challenged the status of other European powers. For many German nationalists, Weltpolitik was also about German expansion into Eastern Europe. For many German nationalists, Weltpolitik was also about German expansion into Eastern Europe.
The Schliefflen Plan 1905
- Can be interpreted as a plan for a war of aggression, as it entailed potentially unprovoked German attacks on France and Belgium.
Did Germany have a long-term plan for European heg
The War Council
- At a meeting of the Kaiser and military leaders in 1912, the possibility of a future war with Russia was discussed and plans were made to prepare the German public for such an eventuality. The Kaiser and Field Marshall von Moltke agitated for war and armaments development. For Fischer indicates that the Kaiser and his closest military advisors were planning for war in the east from 1912.
The September Programme 1914
- Written by Bethmann Hollweg, was produced in the early days of the war and outlined Germany's warm aims. It contained a clear indication that Germany sought to subordinate France, and also far-reaching plans for German domination in Eastern Europe, incl. the annexation of large amounts of territory with a German sphere of influence that stretched all the way to Ukraine.
Did Germany have a long-term plan for European heg
Criticisms of Fischer's arguments
- The Schlieffen Plan could be regarded as a plan for the possibility of a war on two fronts rather than a plan to start a war on two fronts.
- Fischer may have placed too much weight on the War Council meeting: it was not attended by Bethmann and little action occurred in response to the meeting.
- The War Council meeting was a response to Britain's declaration that they wuld support France unconditionally in the event of a war. The War Council may reflect German fears of encirclement rather than an aggressive desire for war.
- The September Programme was written only after war had commenced and so cannot necessarily be taken as a clear indication of a plan of aggression and domination that predated the war.
Did Germany destabilise peace in Europe before 191
Antagonising Russia
- Bismarck had sought peace with Russia and so had established the Resistance Trety in whic Russia and Germany agreed not to attack each other. In 1890, Kaiser Wilhelm II allowed this treaty to lapse and began to seek closer relationsh with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
- In 1908, during the Bosnian crisis, Germany's support for Austrian annexation of Bosnia antagonised Russia, who had demanded an international conference on the issue.
The Bosnian Crisis
- The decline of the power of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans led to instability in the region. From 1878, Serbia was recognised as independent and the Austrian Empire had informal control over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- Serbia regarded the Austrians as imperialists and when in 1908 the Austrians formally annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina into the Austrian Empire, the Serbs and their allies, Russia were outraged. In 1909, Austria pressured Serbia and Russia to accept the annexation by threatening war on Serbia. In Germany, von Bulow's government supported Austria's actions and promised military assistance against Serbia.
Did Germany destabilise peace in Europe before 191
Antagonising France
- Relations between France and Germany were tense throughout the existence of the Second Reich. Germany's involvement in French colonial problems in Morocco in the early part of the twentieth century added to the strain and increased French and British suspicions about Germany.
The First Moroccan Crisis, 1905-6
- Kaiser Wilhelm II made a speech in Tangier in Morocco demanding an international conference on France's role in Morocco, which the French were developing as a colony. The Kaiser hoped to isolate France and protect German economic interests in Morocco. At the subsequent congerence in Algeciras all countries accepted French influence in the area except Germany and Austria-Hungary
Did Germany destabilise peace in Europe before 191
The Second Morocan Crisis,1911
- Following French suppression of an anti-French uprising in Fez in Morocco, Germany argued that France had exceeded its rights in Morocco and Kaiser Wilhelm II ordered a gunboat, the Panther, to be moored off the Moroccan port of Agadir as a threat to France and an indication of support for the rebels. Eventually, Germany was given the right to control parts of the Congo in return for accepting French influence in Morocco.
Antagonising Britain
- British and German relations were strained by German supprot for the Boers during the Boer War 1899-1902. German naval expansion also caused tensions. The Second Naval Law in 1900 increased the German navy to 38 battleships and further expansions occurred in 1906, 1908 and 1912. The British introduced a new and more manoeuvrable form of warship, the dreadnought, in 1906. The British regarded naval supremacy as crucial to British security and status and were concerned to maintain the principle that the British navy should be at least equal to the size of the next two naval powers. In 1912, Britain tried to negotiate with Germany to limit their naval expansion, but no avail.
Did German actions in the summer of 1914 cause war
The July Crisis and the 'Blank Cheque'
- On 5-6 July, encouraged by Generals Lundendorff and Hindenburg, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg gave their full support to the Austrians in pursuing a tough line against Serbia, despite the fact that there was no clear evidence that the Serbian government was involved in the assassination.
- Bethmann Hollweg urged the Austrians to take swift military action against the Serbians, and offered whatever financial and military assistance the Austrians required.
- The unconditional German support for the Austrians has been termed the 'Blank Cheque' and it madde armed conflict more likely.
- The Austrians subsequently issued an ultimatum to the Serbians and when one of their ten demands was not met, declared war on Serbia.
- Support for Austria in a local war did not necessarily mean that Germany sought a major European conflict, however, although Bethmann Hollweg certainly seems to have considered the possibility that this would occur, and Generals Ludendorff and Hindenburg were interested in using conflict to create a war with Russia and gain territory at Russia's expense.
Did German actions in the summer of 1914 cause war
The declaration of war on Russia
On 28 July, Austria declared war on Serbia and in response Russia, who was allied with Serbia and concerned to prevent Austria expanding in the Balkan region, began to mobilise her army. On 31 July Germany declared war on Russia.
The Schliefflen Plan and the invasion of Belgium and France
- Despite the conflict only being on the Eastern Front, the German political and military elite decided to enact the Schliefflen Plan, as war with Russia might have meant war with France. Germany demanded that Belgium allow German troops to cross their territory and on 3 August 1914 declared war on France. When Belgium refused, Germany launched an invasion of Belgium on 4 August and Britain, an alliance of Belgium, declared war on Germany.
Did German actions in the summer of 1914 cause war
The Schliefflen Plan
- Was a plan to prevent the possibility of engaging in a war on two fronts: that is, fighting a war simultaneously against France and Russia. The plan assumed that, in the event of war with France and Russia, the size of the Russian army and inefficiency of Russian infrastructure would mean that it would take Russia six weeks to be fully mobilised and ready for war. The plan envisaged the German army using this 6 week period to quickly attack and defeat France, and then turn their affection to fighting Russia.
- In order to make such a quick victory feasible, the Schliefflen Plan entailed Germany invading France via Belgium, as the French border with Belgium was not properly defended and the terrain through Belgium and north-eastern France was fairly flat and easy to cross.
The actions of others and the European system (Pt.
The actions of others
- Britain participated in the naval race with Germany and launched the dreadnought class of warship in 1906, provoking Germany to expand their navy in the Third Naval Law. Britain was determined to maintain naval supremacy.
- France also contributed to the arms race by expanding her army.
- Russia's decision to mobilise her army in July 1914 pushed Germany to enact the Schliefflen Plan.
- Without consulting Germany, Austria-Hungary created an international crisis by 1908 by annexing Bosnia. Austria antagonised Russia and Serbia during the crisis by threatening them with war. In 1914, Austria-Hungary was ultimately responsible for the decision to go to war with Serbia following the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
- The evvent that triggered the crisis that eventually caused WWI did not originate in Germany: members of the Serbian Black Hand organised the assassination.
- The Balkan Wars destabilised peace in Europe and these conflicts did not involve Germany. In 1912-3, countries incl. Serbia and Romania fought against the Ottoman Empire and among themselves for territorial control over the Balkan region.
The actions of others and the European system (Pt.
The European System
- In 1882, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy formed the Triple Alliance and agreed to support each other in the event of an attack by France or an attack by two or more other powers.
- In 1894, Russian concerns about the lapse of the Reinsurance Treaty and the Triple Alliance and France's desire to increase her security against German attack led France and Russia to create the Franco-Russian Alliance.
- In 1904 France and Britain later negotiated a co-operation agreement called the Anglo-French Agreement.
- In 1907, Britain and Russia resolved some long-standing colonial agreements in the Anglo-Russian Entente.
- The agreements between Britain, France and Russia constituted the Triple Entente, a kind of loose alliance. None of the agreements were specifically aimed at challenging Germany, but the Triple Entente was interpreted by Germany as a threat. Many German military thinkers worried about encirclement.
The actions of others and the European system (Pt.
The arms race and imperialism
- In addition to the tensions caused by Britain and Germany's naval expansion, Germany, France and Russia were all involved in a buuild-up of their armies in the years before WWI. The Army Bills of 1912 increased the size of the German army by 20%.
- In response, France decided to increase conscription from two to three years from 1916.
- Russia also had plans to increase their army by 500,000 from 1916.
- Furthermore, Britain, France and Germany had also been engaged in imperialist projects to build their empires. This imperial competition caused tensn between the Great Powers and Europe.

Dual Sochi 2014 silver medallist Patrick Chan was among the star names to take a tumble but Canada still asserted their position as favourites for Winter Olympic figure skating team gold on Friday.
American quad wonder Nathan Chen and Russia's European champion Mikhail Kolyada also fell on the first day of action at the Gangneung Ice Arena.
That opened the door for Japan to top the early table after an impressive skate from Shoma Uno, proving more than an able deputy to the absent Yuzuru Hanyu.
In the following pairs short programme Canadian duo Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford took second behind European champions Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov from Russia to propel Canada from third to first on 17 points.
American couple Alexa and Chris Knierim produced a season's best to leave the USA in the silver medal position, three points adrift, with Japan in third.
The 27-year-old Chan tumbled on his opening quadtoe loop and again on a triple axel.
"It's not the best start I wanted, but I have the support of my teammates," the three-time former world champion said.
"They make me feel so much better even when it's not the best skate, they are holding me up and making me feel like I belong here. That's the best thing about the team event."
He added: "I am the type of skater that takes time, since I've gotten older, to warm up and to get up to the quads and get comfortable in competition.
"This is a long two weeks and I am not going to look back too much, and it's a good opportunity to get the early jitters out."
The Canadian star was in good company, as American men's gold medal hope Chen also slipped up.
The 18-year-old had both hands on the floor after missing a quad toeloop, bringing gasps from the crowd.
Chen was kicking himself for his error-strewn showing.
"Definitely not a representation of who I am and what I can do. Definitely need to work harder for the next couple of days," he said.
The man they call the quad king added: "I definitely let the rest of the team down so I feel bad in that regard.
"But I think that it was a good opportunity for me to put myself out there and make silly mistakes.
"In the individual I'll be more ready."
- Uno unfazed -
The Russian team, winners of the inaugural team event in Sochi four years ago, sit fourth -- albeit on the same points as Japan -- in their Pyeongchang guise as neutrals with the country serving a doping ban.
Only selected Russian athletes deemed to be drug-free are allowed to compete in South Korea.
Uno, runner-up to Japanese ice idol Hanyu at last year's world championships, produced a near-blemish-free short programme to put Japan briefly top of the pile, outscoring his rivals by almost 15 points.
"It is my first time coming to the Olympics but I wasn't as anxious as I thought." said the 21-year-old.
Hanyu is skipping the team competition to give his body every chance of being at its best in Pyeongchang after suffering a serious ankle injury in the run-up to the defence of his Sochi 2014 crown.
The team competition continues on Sunday and concludes Monday.

4 small yoga studios that flaunt their independence
Big studio, small studio, we love them all. But there's no arguing the fact that the city's larger, older yoga studios get more play in the press.
The Kula Yoga Project, with its splashy sibling Wanderlust, and old-school mainstay Jivamukti garner tons of ink. Pure Yoga and YogaWorks dominate in terms of locations, design, and variety of class offerings.
So, in honor of Independence Day, we asked our readers for their favorite smaller yoga studios—outfits that pulled themselves up by their yoga straps to live the American yogic dream—a studio in New York City. Here are four we salute this Independence Day weekend.
Pretty Deep
Yogamaya is "the best studio for all things yoga," commented one reader, summing up the feeling that this one-year-old studio is not just about getting a few sun salutations in and heading home. Readers cited the abundant kirtan, workshops, and "teachings beyond the physical"—and also raved about the "prettiness of the studio." 135 W. 20th Street (between Sixth and Seventh Aves.), Chelsea. Single class: $18, www.yogamayanewyork.com
Small Studio, Big Name
Although it was founded by famed Yoga Master Alan Finger, ISHTA yoga has retained a small-studio vibe. The "teachers are solid," and it has "a focus on helping you find your own practice," said one reader. And the newly-opened Upper East Side location will also have small classes to accomplish that goal. 56 E. 11th Street (between Broadway and University Pl.), Union Square; 1026 Third Avenue (between 60th and 61st), Upper East Side. Single class: $22, www.ishtayoga.com
Hot Yoga in a Warm Studio
Described by a reader as "unassuming and intimate," Earth Yoga is a haven for Upper East Siders who don't feel "at home in the neighborhood's swankier studios." It's also unique because of its focus on non-Bikram hot yoga. "It's my go-to studio when I know I need an intense, heart-rate-pumping class with a warm (literally!) vibe," said a devotee. 328 East 61st Street (between First and Second Avenue), Upper East Side. Single Class: $25, www.earthyoganyc.com
The Yoga U.N.
Yoga People is a neighborhood mainstay that's been around since long before yoga mats became a must-have accessory. The Brooklyn Heights' studio is "unpretentious with a strong community vibe," commented one reader. "The practitioners are primarily from the neighborhood, which adds to that feeling of community." It's also a United Nations of yoga, with a wide variety of styles offered, from Anusara and Ashtanga to Iyengar and vinyasa. 160 Montague St. (between Henry and Clinton Sts.), Brooklyn Heights. Single Class: $20, www.yoga-people.com

Of course, when you're not leaving your bed before midday, skipping breakfast is not a particular issue. However, this changed very quickly upon finishing my degree (still a heartbreaking sentence to write!) and entering the world of work. When you're awake, or even starting work, at seven am waiting until one or two for your first meal of the day suddenly becomes a huge issue!
Now unfortunately for me, as I think I have made clear in previous posts, I am an avid lover of sleep. I would even venture that I am sleep's biggest fan. There is nothing that can come between me and my bed. Therefore, although I quickly learnt that I needed to eat in the morning, my first instinct on sourcing out breakfast was to find something that I could eat on the go. Something which would provide a fast energy source. Something which would be just enough to tide me over until my actual first meal of the day. For me, this, came in the form of Milky Way bars. Yummy, chocolatey, light Milky Ways. At only 192 calories for both bars in a Milky Way duo, and with a sugary rush to power me through those hours I had previously slept through, I was sure I was on to a winner.
However, despite my love for both chocolate and sleep, I pretty quickly had to admit to myself that eating a Milky Way on the way to work is not the most healthy of diets. There's very little goodness at all in it, and despite the initial sugar rush I soon found I was crashing a couple of hours before lunch and craving more sugar to regain that energy boost. Something had to be done.
Since leaving my student home and moving into my own little flat (such a scary, grown up thing to be able to say!) I have developed a new love for breakfast. I might even consider it my favourite meal of the day now! The sudden silence that accompanied nights in the flat meant that an early night, previously a luxury in a busy, social, student house, was now the norm. If you get a good nights sleep, and wake up rested, it's far easier to get out of bed and think about making a nutritious breakfast rather than blearily downing a coffee and running out of the door.
There is the old cliché that breakfast is the most important meal of the day; it genuinely is. Breakfast is about ending the intermittent fast that we take over night, every night. If you haven't eaten since dinner at seven o clock the night before, and it's now one in the afternoon, you haven't eaten for a massive 18 hours! Not only will this make you feel run down, it will actually reduce your productivity and ability to concentrate at work. In essence, eat breakfast and you will perform better. Breakfast is also important to kick start your metabolism in the morning. Not only that, research has demonstrated that people who skip breakfast in the morning are more likely to overeat later in the day. Indeed, people who regularly eat breakfast are far more likely than those who skip it to maintain a healthy BMI and the American Heart Association found that breakfast eaters were significantly less likely to be obese! Therefore, if you're trying to lose weight, breakfast really is essential!
But of course, it's not just about eating breakfast but about eating the right breakfast. My milky way bar was clearly not the right breakfast to kick start my day. Sugary cereals are also not the best option, nor would a full English every day be particularly beneficial to maintaining a healthy weight! So what do I recommend?
My current favourite breakfast is:
Topped with strawberries:
And half a banana:
Finished off with a couple of spoons of 0% fat greek yoghurt:
And normally accompanied with the good old British staple- a mug of tea:
So there you go, a nutritious breakfast which will energise you through the morning. The high fibre cereal helps keep you fuller for longer, healthy bacteria in the greek yoghurt helps maintain a healthy gut (but make sure you choose the low fat option), and the fruit thrown in contributes to your five a day whilst providing plenty of vitamins. Not only is it healthy but it tastes amazing. Feel free to experiment with the fruit topping combinations. I'm also a big fan of cherries and banana (Cherries work out a cheaper option as well), however, I just could not resist those beautiful British strawberries in Tesco last time I went shopping.
Have a tasty healthy breakfast of your own? Please let me know!

That's Bryan Rhoads and Todd Fahrner riding a Super Monkey, a sport utility bike built with a Surly Karate Monkey, Xtracycle and Stokemonkey electric motor assist. We're building one of these up right now, as a Bike Hugger project, and will blog the whole thing this Fall.
For the bike geek, the Super Monkey is a 29 incher with 26 inch wheels. "What the?" you ask … details here.
I shared that look on Bryan's face, likening it to taking a kid to the fair and putting them on the tea-pot ride for the first time, when I rode the Super Monkey. Besides the utility, it was just absolutely fun.

Brandon Flowers reveals ambition to make 'honest' music
- Bang Showbiz
- 9 August 2017
The Killers star Brandon Flowers has revealed he is determined to make "honest" music that he can be proud of
Brandon Flowers is determined to make "honest" music.
The Killers frontman has revealed his overarching ambition is to create music that his three sons Ammon, Gunnar, and Henry would find heart-warming to listen to later in their lives.
He explained: "The thing that keeps me honest is my kids. They're gonna have to face what I'm putting out one day, and I want them to be proud.
"I also want to be able to walk into a restaurant with my head held high."
The band release their new album 'Wonderful Wonderful' in September and Brandon, 36, said he didn't want to "chase what's on the radio" with their new record.
Instead, he admitted he was happy to act his age during the making of the album.
Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, Brandon explained: "I talked to [producer Jacknife Lee] about wanting to make a more grown-up record.
"It's a scary word - 'adult' - so we say 'grown-up'."
This comes shortly after Brandon admitted he "regrets" his attitude from when he first found fame.
The frontman said that much of the band's new album centres on his previous mistakes and, in particular, his "arrogant" attitude in the early days of their success.
He shared: "I think a good chunk of [the new] album is making peace with that. I've been cleaning it up for a long time. I don't think that was really a great representation, an honest representation of who I am.
"It came from a place of insecurity and I would just puff my chest out and say things and put a lot of negativity out there. I basically came to regret that and I'm sure a lot of people can identify with that."
