This meant that buyers were only paying for month 1... ... and therefore they lost access to their product, service or premium blog subscription a month after purchasing it... ... and of course sellers didn't get paid for months 2, 3 and beyond. Well, it's time to ignite Recurring Revenues for sellers Starting on Tuesday -- only 48 hours from now -- buyers will maintain continuous access to their subscription purchases...

Tornadoes wreak havoc in US    Tornadoes can form anytime of year, but occur most frequently in April, May, and June, due to favorable weather conditions. Earlier this week a massive 200-mile-per-hour EF5 tornado hit Moore, Okla., killing some two dozen people, damaging thousands of structures, and causing an estimated $2 billion in damage. This year, twisters have already touched down in Kansas, Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, and Alabama.

  The Low Fat Salad     What could be healthier or more low fat than salad? Well, it depends what’s in it and on it. In its basic state—a bed of salad leaves with chopped vegetables, it is indeed low fat and healthy. It’s what is added to our salads that gets us into trouble. Salads prepared at restaurants or fast-food joints are not always the healthiest dishes on the menu. And those salad kits from the grocery store, with condiments and toppings included, offer convenience but may not necessarily be low fat. The salads listed below should raise some red flags. High Fat Salads and Dressings: Chef-style salads are high in saturated fat, thanks to all that meat and cheese—and that’s before we even think about the dressing. Cobb salads feature bacon, eggs, blue cheese, avocado and creamy dressing. Classic Caesar salad with its egg-based dressing, croutons and cheese is high in both fat and cholesterol. Taco salads, with their cheese, refried beans, guacamole, ground beef, sour cream and deep-fried shell, are an all-round nutritional nightmare. Greek salads are often loaded with oil and feta cheese. Asian salads with fried noodles and a generous sprinkling of nuts. Dressings in general, especially ranch, blue cheese, thousand island, high oil-to-vinegar ratio vinaigrettes, and regular mayonnaise or sour cream.

How to Cut and De-Seed a Pomegranate     Late October, early November is the season for pomegranates, pinkish red orbs filled with crunchy, juicy seeds (known as arils), bursting with flavor. You can get them at most supermarkets, but if you live anywhere near where they are grown, it’s best to get them at a local farmer’s market. Here you are most likely to find the ripest pomegranates – the ones whose peels are beginning to crack open, their plump, ripe seeds expanding beyond the peel’s ability to contain them.  My parents have a big, beautiful pomegranate tree that fills with fruit every autumn. We wait until the last possible moment to harvest them, so their seeds have time to ripen to a deep red burgundy. Over the years

Happier, Healthier & Way More Likeable 7 Habits that Will Make You Happier, Healthier & Way More Likeable Happiness — I want it, you want it, we all want it. Just the fact that you’re reading The Change Blog means that you and I are on a similar path—seeking for those nuggets of wisdom that will bring us more peace, joy, and personal fulfillment. After having owned a businesses for about 10 years in the swimming pool industry, a little over a year ago I commenced a new quest in life to satiate my need to teach and help as many possible to achieve their full potential. This is also why I asked Peter if I could contribute a guest post to The Change Blog. So if you’re looking for ‘change’, if you want more joy and fulfillment out of life, here are 7 qualities that, for me, have made all the difference: 1. See the World in the Form of a Question Whether you are looking to make new friends, achieve success with a client, or even raise your general awareness—the skill of asking questions has in many ways been lost in our society. We’re so busy to tell, tell, tell that we forget to ask, ask, ask. And as we all know, the only way to become a great ‘learner’ is to ask questions. Questions resolve concerns. Questions elevate personal relationships. They also at times force us to take a different perspective and possibly stretch ourselves to unchartered waters. So learn to have an ‘ask first tell second’ personality and I can promise you the results will be profound.

Almonds Nutrition Facts Wonderfully delicious, almonds have long been revered as the epitome of wellness and health. The nuts are among the richest sources of health-benefiting nutrients essential for optimum health. Botanically, they are the fruits from medium size tree belonging in the family of Rosaceae, in genus: Prunus.  The plant is a deciduous tree, native to mineral-rich West-Asian mountain ranges that provide fertile conditions favorable for their growth. In recent years, it is being cultivated in many regions of the world as an important commercial crop. Scientific name: Prunus dulcis.   Delicious nuts (kernels)-shelled. Raw green nuts. (Photo courtesy : Stepheye) During spring season, almond tree bears whitish-pink flowers that subsequently develop into fruits by autumn. In structure, the fruit is a drupe with centrally placed edible "almond nut" (kernel) surrounded by a hard shell. Almond kernel is brown, oval to conical shape and measure about 2 cm long and 1 cm wide and weigh about 1 to 1.5 g. Health benefits of Almonds Almond nuts are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals and packed with numerous health promoting phyto-chemicals. These nuts compose of well-balanced food principles that are essential for optimum health and wellness. Almonds are the complete source of energy as well as nutrients. The nuts, especially, are rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids like oleic, and palmitoleic acids that help in lowering LDL or "bad cholesterol" and increasing HDL or "good cholesterol" in the human body. Research studies suggest that Mediterranean diet, which is excellent in monounsaturated fatty acids, help to prevent coronary artery disease and strokes by favoring healthy blood lipid profile. The nuts are an excellent source of vitamin E; hold about 25 g per100 g (about 170% of RDA). Vitamin E is a powerful lipid soluble antioxidant, required for maintaining cell membrane integrity of mucus membranes and skin by protecting from harmful oxygen-free radicals. Almonds are free in gluten, and therefore, are one of the popular ingredients in the preparation of gluten-free food formulas. Such formula preparations are, in fact, healthy alternatives in people with wheat food allergy, and celiac disease. The nuts are packed with many important B-complex groups of vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, and folates. Altogether, these vitamins work as co-factors for enzymes during cellular substrate metabolism. Furthermore, almonds are also an incredible source of minerals such as manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium. Almond oil, extracted from the nuts, can be employed as an emollient. Applied regularly, it helps keep skin well protected from dryness. Additionally, the oil is used in cooking in Iran, and Turkey. It is also used as “carrier or base oil” in traditional medicines in aromatherapy, in pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Hand full of almonds a day provides much of recommended levels of minerals, vitamins, and protein. Besides, almond oil extracted from the nuts has been used in cooking, and in medicine.   See the table below for in depth analysis of nutrients: Almonds (Prunus dulcis), Nutritional value per 100 g.  (Source: USDA National Nutrient data base) PrincipleNutrient Value

Fashion 28/02  How Gwynnie Bee Totally Turned Me Around About Fashion   I have a confession to make: my mother dressed me into my 30s. Yes, you read that right. I made no real decisions on clothes. I picked up a new pair of jeans or two if I had the need. I'd buy my own underwear. I bought some Fresh Produce dresses and some clothes from some travel wear catalog in the last years of my marriage. Mostly though, clothes came from my mother or my older sister. Then she stopped, and that was okay, because I fell into "jeans plus T-shirt" or "jeans plus turtleneck or sweatshirt." I'd have some mild concern when faced with the idea that I needed to get dressed up for something. I owned "that dress that looks nice on you," which I wore to a bar mitzvah for a cousin and every other occasion that required a dress for over a decade. I bought a suit that I loathed from JC Penney for a talk I gave on setting up blogs. Cheap. Fit. Done. I bought my keynote dress for Voices of the Year with advice from my child and ordered it online. I sent in measurements. I received a dress back. Done. I hate clothes shopping. I don't like putting something on, trying to figure out whether it fits, whether it is right for my body, whether I look ridiculous in it. My brain turns into a weird heady buzz in a clothing store. I try on a few things and then leave. Whatever. Jeans. Shirt. Safe. I can't get out of there fast enough. Then, last summer, I had a strange bit of dissatisfaction with my clothes. I blame it on all the Stitch Fix people. Well, that and all the other "box of the month" clubs out there. Darn it! I wanted a box, too. Not food, because I never saw the right box for me. Not beauty supplies, because if there is something I do less of than clothes shopping, it is makeup. Not crafts—I like them, but it just seemed wrong. Yarn clubs? I love yarn, but my favorite yarn club people do wool yarns, and I have a wool allergy.

Needless to say, these are all free resources.     Best CSS Frameworks Pure CSS Even though this is a new kid in town, this is also the hottest kid in town. Pure has rapidly grown in popularity. Even though I have not used it personally but at least three web designers have recommended it for me try it. They say it is the most standardized and minified framework there is. Compass Compass is a Sass (CSS3 extension) based set of nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and much more. Thanks to Sass, the generated code is well formatted so your stylesheet stays organized and minimal. Less They say “less is more”. Basing on that formula, here’s less framework.

Reality Check Before Marriage 8 Reasons to Have a Reality Check Before Marriage The topic of happy marriage has always been relevant, because family is the top priority for many people. Unfortunately, there’s no single recipe for a successful marriage – everyone follows their own path. Some people tend to get married without premarital cohabitation; others prefer to live together at least one year before making a serious life changing step. Unlike the first category of people, I think that so called ‘trial marriage’ is not a degrading and wrong decision. It gives you a chance to understand whom you’re going to marry. At first glance, it may sound cynical, but when it comes to your happiness, you should be more careful, if you don’t want to get into a trap. This life is full of pretense and artificiality. Many people put a mask to hide their true faces and reach a desirable goal, no matter what. When dating, they try to put their best foot forward, but when they finally get married, they radically change their behavior and lifestyle. I’m sure that only time and cohabitation can open your eyes to many evident things and help you know the length of your partner’s foot, if necessary. The test-driving marriage has more advantages than disadvantages. Here are are some of them: 1. You’ll discover your partner’s inner world People are very secretive creatures. They tend to keep their thoughts to themselves and suppress different emotions. When you start living under the same roof with your significant other, you’ll be able to explore their inner world and the darkest corners of their soul. Your hobbies, interests, traditions and values will help your partner realize what type of person you’re. It’s desirable to know almost everything about your loved one, if you don’t want to become panic-stricken right after the marriage. Everything depends on your character, though. I’m the one who always makes a mountain out of a molehill and believes that even trifles can make huge difference or lead to divorce. Not long ago, my workmate divorced with her husband, because of his strange religious beliefs and practices. I think that if she could know about his spiritual life earlier, she would never get married to him. 2. You’ll get familiar with your partner’s

Children Training 7 Ways to Teach Your Children to Respect Their Grandparents The society in which both children and adults do not honor the elderly is doomed to eternal suffering. It is high time to halt this trend and do something to repair and harmonize the relationship between your children and their grandparents because this relationship is important and valuable for all members of the family. Communication between grandparents and grandchildren makes a big contribution to the kids’ development and helps them become rich in heart and soul. But this relationship will never be healthy if there is no respect in your family. As a parent, you should take responsibility for everything happening in your family and instill positive values in your children. If you do not know how to raise the level of respect in the grandparent-grandchild relationship, I will tell you how to do it correctly. 1. Never

The Scientific 7-Minute Workout “Maximum Results With Minimal Time Investment” I’m all for becoming more efficient with my training, and when it comes to working out I like to keep my sessions short, and to use my time aseffectively as possible – hence my love for compound exercises. By now you must have heard about the scientific research, from the McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario which has devised a High Intensity Circuit Training (HICT) workout, that can be performed in – that’s right, 7 minutes! According to their science boffins, the workout requires no specialist equipment other than just your own body-weight, a wall, and a chair. It can be done at home, in the office, or whilst travelling, and is designed to work the entire body. Not only that, they say it can have the same aerobic and strength training effect as a long run and a resistance workout!   If you just want to see the 7 Minute Workout video before reading my views, here it is.. Some of the exercises are not performed with 100% correct technique, but it gives you an idea of the timings involved and how easy it is to do it at home:   If you want the timings for this workout, other than the video above, there are a couple of sites to choose from According to the article which was published by the American College of Sports Medicine’s Health & Fitness Journal May/June 2013 issue, the 7 Minute Workout has been designed to produce: “maximum results with minimal investment”. Now that’s my type of workout right there! But with anything that sounds too good to be true.. this really does sound too good to be true! What Is A HICT Workout? The HICT workout as revealed here, is pretty much the same as a regular circuit workout, except you perform each exercise for 30 seconds with a 10 second break between each exercise. The idea is to keep the intensity high throughout the 7 minutes with just enough time to get yourself in position for the next exercise. The exercises are performed in a particular order to enable opposite muscle groups to alternate between working and resting. For example, the wall-sit (lower body) is followed by push-ups (upper body). There are also core and total body exercises that are performed after an upper and lower body exercise. The whole circuit has 12 different exercises that are designed to work the entire body to produce maximum cardiovascular and strength training benefits. The discomfort, intensity, pain – call it what you like, (some people even enjoy it!?) will be in the region of 8 out of 10. The good news is it only lasts for 7-8 minutes! The HICT Workout Below is the 12 station workout as suggested by the McMaster University. You should perform as many repetitions of each exercise as you can for 30 seconds, with 10 seconds transition between exercises. The total time to complete the circuit should be around 7 to 8 minutes. 1. Jumping jacks Total body 2. Wall sit Lower body

Nutritions  for Women 8 Nutritional All-Stars for Women Now that food science has taken root in people’s diets around the world, eating healthy is not as easy as it should be. Chemicals, GMOs, artificial sweeteners and shortening are more ubiquitous than ever before. When it comes to your health as a woman, wholesome, real food is essential. Eating a broad range of nutrient rich foods is pivotal to a long, beautiful life, which is why including these nutritional superstars in your diet should be priority. Instead of focusing on a single food, this looks at vitamins and nutrients that are essential to women’s health. That way, instead of combing the grocery store aisles for a specific ingredient, you can load your plate with a broad range of foods for the best nutritional profile. 1. Probiotics Also known as ‘live and active cultures’ found in fermented products and dairy, these live microorganisms are indispensable when it comes to maintaining a healthy gut. An unwell GI tract means bloating, discomfort, bowel issues and an impinged immune system. The impact gut microflora has on your health should not be ignored. Probiotic sources: Korean Kimchi and sauerkraut Miso Sourdough bread Kefir Skyr (Icelandic Yogurt), Greek and non-fat yogurt – try to avoid low-fat diet brands, which are glutted on chemicals, dyes, and other useless fluff Kombucha Banana – not exactly a source of probiotics but high in fructooligosaccharides, a carbohydrate that helps develop gut microflora and keep them happy. 2. Omega-3s/ALA The body needs fat to survive. The good thing is that not every type of fat makes you gain weight. Omega 3s and the plant version, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) can actually increase metabolism, smooth your skin, and help you shed pounds faster than if you completely restricted all fat content. Moreover, these fatty acids lubricate your joints, act as natural antidepressants and protect the brain from dementia and Alzheimer’s. Omega-3s/ALA

Vitamin Deficiency Vitamin Deficiency and Chronic Fatigue I have been waiting to do this post since ages. Chronic Fatigue is a lifestyle disease of this age. I too am suffering from the same since two years! The irregular office timings, easily available fast food options, lack of time to take care of health, everything culminates into a poor diet and weak body. People hardly have time to go for even a blood test or doctor’s consultation. Similar thing has been happening to my other half. He had some severe stomach ache for which we had to consult a doctor. She asked him to get some blood tests done. We did everything required but the major issue came when he had to go and give his blood sample after breaking his fast and collecting the reports. Either we would forget or some or the other work would come. It took us two months to just collect those reports and, for the record, the clinic is just 2-3 kms away. The same scenario is repeating again. I have to get my blood tests done but I am a certified injection screecher and a horrible one at that!! I used to shout when getting pricked for haemoglobin testing. Blood test was a huge step for me. Now, I am used to it but still I like to have someone with me. But, Mr. P hardly has time on weekdays and on weekends we promptly forget our health needs! This when I recalled how Thyrocare had come to our aid a few years back. Two years back,

But, before that, let me share I did something with you. I finally got to visit Charminar on Ramzan night. And, it was fabulous. There is jostling and pushing and everything but nothing could beat the lights and merriment and the famous Nimrah Cafe’s irani chai and osmania biscuits. It is a experience which should be done every year!! Anyways, coming back to the forest essentials facial cleanser, I am double minded about it even after using for 3-4 months.

Going Back to School 5 Things I Loved About Going Back to School Despite it being nowhere near close to springtime, what with the leaves drying up and the essence of autumn seen in the morning dew, September is about newness and change. For many, child and adult alike, the ninth month of the year ushers in another school year. Going back to school carries with it multiple meanings, depending on where you are in your life. For me, there are five things I have always loved – and still do – about going back to school. 1. Acquiring new knowledge

Gave Up My U.S. Citizenship Why I Gave Up My U.S. Citizenship and Moved to Japan The emigrant life is not for the faint of heart. Wherever you wind up, people will question your reasons for uprooting yourself from the homeland to be seen as an ‘alien.’ That is what I had faced when packing up cardboard boxes and writing a Japanese address on the side. ‘But why Japan?’ was a question put on repeat – even after coming to the Land of the Rising Sun. Though the reasons are many, I have managed to narrow down the top four explanations for moving from the USA to Japan. 1. Language and culture The magnet that first lured me to tumultuous Tokyo, Japan from a suburban South Jersey townscape was the language and culture. Ever since I was a little tyke with grass stains on my knees, I had felt a connection to martial arts and the philosophy behind it. Though my interests were a mix of Chinese and Japanese teachings, I gradually narrowed the focus

Children’s Books  8 Children’s Books You Should Definitely Read Again We find ourselves in a world that revolves around trends, money and power – so much so that we are numbed by the injustices that are taking place in society. Injustices we can put a stop too if we had the will to move our minds from comparison and open our eyes to what is really unfolding in front of us. That is why it excites my soul to see that the following books are prescribed to high school students, allowing them to see all that has happened, can happen and possibly will happen in the world we find ourselves in. It is for this reason that I believe the time has come for us to stand up, walk over to our bookshelves, find these hidden gems, dust them off and enjoy reading them with a nice cup of tea. It is in these books that we will be faced with challenges of the past starting to repeat themselves today; some challenges, that although fictional, will evoke a sense of fear and yes, eventually purpose for change; challenges that will remind us of who we are at our core: strong and resilient human beings that cannot be oppressed by maleficent people of authority, as well as people in our personal, everyday life. Here are eight books school kids are reading, that we should definitely read again: 1. Animal Farm by George Orwell Animal Farm is probably one of the most popular school reads in the world. George Orwell wrote it as a political allegory and has since then inspired the minds of not only adult revolutionaries but also the younger ones who start feeling the spark of righteousness and freedom for all of the humanity in their hearts. The story of a group of farm animals revolting against their cruel owner, only to find themselves under the oppression of one they thought to be their “Comrade” will, as long as we have power-hungry leaders, stay universally true. The allegory also serves as a reminder of how the power of propaganda can be used in order to brainwash society and get them to submit. This will advise us to open our eyes and not just accept everything we are being fed through the media and those in powerful positions. It is important to maintain order and respect, but not at the cost of losing our individuality and option to question what is happening to us and around us. 2.

Unfollow Your Ex Now 3 Reasons That Will Persuade You to Unfollow Your Ex Now So it was an awkward breakup, maybe a nasty one, but hey, you can still be Facebook friends right? Wrong! Even though the thought of keeping tabs or even having tabs kept on you, sounds so appealing – we have to think about what we are going to put ourselves through. The best thing – all depending on your situation – would be to press that unfriend,

Yoga Instructor   Why I Became a Yoga Instructor Yoga might seem like an easy to teach. Calling out the name of postures, cycling throughout the room, and sometimes gently fixing a participant’s alignment might not seem like a big deal to those on the outside. Instructing yoga is unchallenging. You will be forgetting the hours of training, book-reading, and studying that comes with the certification. Afterward, the instructor continues getting educated, pushing them towards further understanding – because yoga is ongoing. So why would anyone do it? For me, the reasons are simple:

Childfree Friends 8 Things Your Childfree Friends Are Thinking About Your Kids Have you crossed over into the land of parenthood full of diapers, bottles, and baby laughs? If so, you know how all-encompassing it can be and that soon enough it is the only thing you talk about with friends and family. But what about your friends that are non-parents? If you think they are as excited to talk about your kids for hours on end, you may be delusional. Here are ten things your non-parent friends are really thinking. 1. You have changed… like a lot Sure, you are still you and they still love you, but you are also a completely different person at the same time and it is going to take them some getting used to. The friend they have known did not talk for hours and hours about the smallest thing they saw their baby do last night. And, they probably used to shower more often and wear makeup and pants and bras with underwire. It is totally cool though and we totally get it, but it is like getting to know a new person, so show them grace.

Tips for Women 6 Tips for Women Trying to Start a Life Abroad Leaving the home country, wherever that might be, is as scary of a thought as it is enthralling. Though the world has been mapped and adventure comes attached with a GPS, you never truly know what’s out there in the world until you step out into it. To those seeking a life abroad or to move to another foreign country, here is some advice. Having moved from the United States of America to Japan, I have developed six tips that not only kept me in check but can aid you as well. 1. Be frugal Moving is a money wormhole. You pray those dollars will get transported elsewhere, but it just goes poof. You spend loads on the packing, shipping, airfare, renting a new residence and everything else attached to emigration. Those are unavoidable expenses. What you can do to reduce the moving cost, as well as living comfortably thereafter, is to remember frugality. You will be tempted to fill your new abode with trinkets and appliances you did not have before, get the cutest linens and whatnot. Pace yourself. Embrace minimalism. Treasure the heartfelt belongings that came with you from the home country. Budget for rent, utilities and food – the standard comforts everyone needs. Then slowly look into second-hand items or ethnic goods that will be of lower cost than what you are used to. If you have a work visa, you will have more money than those on a tourist or student visa, but that does not mean you will be financially stable until after a few months of labor. Pinch those pennies until you do not fret over the days between paychecks.

Waist Training What to Fact Check Before Turning to Waist Training According to the Corset Centre, waist training is defined as the process of lowering the natural waist size, as well as emphasizing your curves with the help of a tight corset or waist trainer. The function of the garments is to give women an hourglass figure, in other words, a slim waist and significant curves over the hips. We have seen movie stars like Jessica Alba do it, reality stars like the Kardashian clan do it and even music stars like Nicki Minaj do it – so why exactly shouldn’t we do it? These stars have gone to some extreme measures to ensure that they have the latest depiction of what a beautiful body is and through their social media pages, they have given us the key to having it too. Serious investment     All you have to do is pay a little over a $100 for a good quality latex waist trainer, spend a few extra minutes in the morning jumping up and down, falling on the bed, suck in your stomach and try and squeeze it into this torturous
