Self-Taught Artist Discovers Incredible Painting Skills While Taking Care of His Sick Dog. Derbyshire-based painter Darren Reid creates stunning, photorealistic landscapes of serene seascapes, expansive landscapes, and bustling cityscapes. Each work, when looked at closely enough, reveals a layer of acrylic detail that heightens the painting to a hyperrealistic level. A road is not just a road, but a pointillist blend of colors (think Seurat or Pissarro) that fuse together when looked at to play tricks on the viewer's eye. Reid has mastered a strange and awesome technique: how to take impressionist skills and turn them into reality. His paintings, often of stark country houses or gritty industrial pavements, reinvent what it means to look at the world. He shows us there is more than meets the eye at first glance.

  9 Old-Fashioned Marriage Principles You Can Break Today 228 Almost everyone knows that old-fashioned people created and still follow different rules of a happy marriage. We should take into account that couples and epochs are different, so some people find these rules fundamental and suitable while others have a blurred vision of the traditions set by our ancestors. Nowadays many couples break these rules and live perfectly happy. Check out the list of 9 old-fashioned marriage principles you can break today. 1. Always sleep together Nowadays many lovely couples have to sleep in separate due to different reasons. Do not feel upset if you face such a thing because it’s not a signal of your love end. Just enjoy the possibility to sleep separately like you did it being a kid. Try to revive new feelings and spend more time together. 2. Fights lead to divorce It often happens that a set of unresolved dilemmas can lead to divorce. It seems to be silly when couples think about divorce having various disputes. There are a lot of ways to resolve problems and tiffs, the main point is to have a desire to be together. You are to stand this grinding period to check the strength of your love. Don’t be afraid to sort out difficulties in your relationship because it’s a healthy thing. 3. Vacation together Sometimes vacations apart can give a new portion of inspiration and strengthen your love. Women and men have different visions and nature, so sometimes it’s necessary to have a girl’s weekend or a boy’s one. Not to feel lonely, try to have a separate vacation at the same period. And remember that every person should have its own space and individual time and it’s not a betrayal. 4. Mutual hobbies When you are in a relationship, it’s not necessary to have only common hobbies. As we know, tastes differ, so you just can talk about your hobbies and share emotions. It’s marvelous if your interests are the same and you have mutual hobbies. Don’t force each other, if you don’t want to make your relationship strained 5. Don’t go to bed angry   Fighting negative emotions isn’t an easy thing, especially when they attack your mind in the evening. To my mind, bedtime is the most productive period of time when different thoughts fill out your conscience and bring on anger. Don’t keep it serious and try to cheer each other up. 6. The honesty vow Being completely honest seems to be impossible, but it doesn’t mean that you should be a liar. Telling the truth all the time is noble, but it can hurt your feelings. You may dislike his hairdo, elements of style or other nonsignificant things and it’s not necessary to say him about them all the time, because it’s a high way to a new tiff. It’s normal to commit little lies, but don’t do the same with more important things and try not to get a habit of a liar. 7. Keep things exciting People often talk that it’s necessary to jazz up the relationship every now and then. Sure, it’s great to try something new, but not every day. We need to get used to new things, actions. That’s why routines can be useful in a way, because it is necessary to get rid of constant stresses caused by trying something new. Bucking your relationship up is necessary, but with reasonable limits 8. It’s over when the spark dies   Typically, relationship starts with a spark and this fire burns forever. Being charmed by our love, we try to keep it burning by all means. Don’t be afraid of moments when your love seems to be lost. It is just necessary to open a new page in the book of your relationship. 9. Avoid opposite sеx friends It’s okay to have opposite sеx friends. When you have such friends, you become all-rounded and it’s not a sign that you are looking for romance. Many friends of mine have opposite sеx friends and it seems to be widespread today. In case you and your guy are very jealous, you can get acquainted with your mutual friends and spend time together. We are free to break rules because they don’t have direct risks to influence on your relationship in a negative way. Just love each other and don’t get caught in an endless loop of old-fashioned rules. Which old-fashioned marriage rule have you already broken?     Do not forget to like, comment and rate the post!

  Обманчиво диетические продукты   Мало среди нас найдется тех, кто смог бы устоять перед магией слов «диетический», «низкокалорийный», «фитнес». Продукты с этой маркировкой представляются нам если уж не панацеей от лишнего веса, то хотя бы своеобразным оберегом от него. А между тем не все из них действительно способны помочь нам стать стройнее. Каких стоит опасаться? Разбираемся вместе с диетологами.  Большинство продуктов с пометкой «диетический» на самом деле такими не являются. Мода на диетические продукты пришла к нам с Запада сравнительно недавно: до середины 90-х годов российскому потребителю не приходило в голову искать на прилавках хоть что-то с пометкой «фитнес», «лайт», «низкокалорийный» или «био». Точно так же, как и российскому производителю эти пометки на упаковках писать. С легкой руки маркетологов эти «волшебные» слова на этикетках появились, а хотя бы какой-нибудь смысл в них — нет. «В лучшем случае — это просто лишняя информация, как, например, фраза «подсолнечное масло без холестерина», которое его и так содержать никак не может, но при этом добавляет десятки рублей к стоимости. В худшем — это продукты, не имеющие отношения к здоровым, как, скажем, сухие завтраки, в которых сахара и углеводов — и как следствие пользы — столько же, сколько и в конфетах». По-другому обстоит дело с пометкой «обезжиренный». Такой продукт, как правило, действительно по своему составу отличается от аналогов, этого слова на этикетке не имеющих. Как правило, обезжиренными делают молочные продукты и их производные. Их, считают диетологи, стоит опасаться. «Их, конечно, можно употреблять. Например, с целью снижения калорийности рациона. Однако их польза для организма с точки зрения содержания витаминов сомнительна. Например, из обезжиренного творога не усваивается кальций, поскольку этот элемент из кишечника всасывается только с помощью жирорастворимого витамина D»  «Процент жира в продуктах снижают за счет сухого молока и добавляют фруктовые наполнители вместе со всевозможными «Е». Получается, что низкожировой йогурт не такой уж и диетический, а чаще аллергенный и увеличивающий массу тела за счет избытка простых углеводов». К таким же обманчиво диетическим продуктам эксперты относят и еще несколько: По содержанию сахара такие батончики нередко сопоставимы с конфетами Батончики-мюсли. В сравнении с шоколадными, эти, конечно, выигрывают. Но только с точки зрения сырья, из которого они изготовлены. «Цельные зерна, сухофрукты и орехи в составе, отсутствие пальмового масла и трансжиров отчасти позволяют считать плитки мюсли не самым вредным вариантом перекуса. Однако не стоит забывать, что большинство из них содержит огромное количество сахара или фруктовых соков и сиропов. Что получаем в итоге? Мы съедаем 300 ккал, а голод наступает уже через 20 минут, как если бы мы перекусили вафлями», — объясняет Анна Коробкина.  Tакие батончики могут содержать аллергены — вредные композиции, усилители вкуса, стабилизаторы, разрыхлители. Безопасный вариант: 20 г продукта в качестве десерта 1—2 раза в неделю в первой половине дня — после 15.00 организму будет сложнее усвоить энергию из углеводов, которыми богат продукт. Хлебцы. О том, во что превращает нашу фигуру сдоба, мы прекрасно знаем. А потому нередко «налегаем» на хлебцы, считая их продуктом для талии почти безвредным. «Таким он, безусловно, и будет, если употреблять его в разумных количествах и как альтернативу обычному белому хлебу. Но как часто мы обманываемся: раз диетично, полезно — значит можно съесть сколько угодно. Вот и получается, что вместо одного кусочка полезного цельнозернового хлеба, мы съедаем 3—4 хлебца, получая куда больше калорий», — объясняет Анна Коробкина. Кроме этого, опасность злоупотребления хлебцами состоит в том, что под действием жидкости они значительно разбухают и могут замедлять переваривание другой пищи, поступившей в организм вместе с ними. Безопасный вариант: 2—3 хлебца на первый или второй завтрак. «Стоит выбирать продукты, содержащие грубые волокна, клетчатку, созданные из пшеничной муки грубого помола, из гречки ядрицы, грубого рисового зерна или размоченного овса. Эти хлебцы более полезны, если они высушены в специальной сушке без использования масла. А вот кукурузные или соевые хлебцы пользы фигуре точно не принесут»,. Сочетать хлебцы диетологи рекомендуют скорее с овощами, зеленью или кисломолочными продуктами, чем с колбасой или молоком. Сахарозаменители. Доверие у диетологов и худеющих они когда-то заработали тем, что в отличие от глюкозы вызывают плавные колебания уровня сахара в крови и постепенную выработку инсулина. Однако некоторые сахарозаменители, полученные химическим путем, большинство специалистов по питанию рекомендуют избегать. «К их числу, например, относится аспартам — вещество спорное, поскольку во время его метаболизма образуется метанол и фениланаланин, которые могут накапливаться в организме. К тому же многие научные работы доказывают его способность снижать уровень серотонина, что может неблагоприятно влиять на различные области, включая настроение, поведение, сон и аппетит. Поэтому, на мой взгляд, риски совершенно неоправданные».  Диетологи советуют выбирать естественные сахарозаменители, отказавшись от искусственных вроде аспартама Безопасный вариант: естественные растительные сахарозаменители — например, стевия. «Они абсолютно безвредны, не мешают работе печени, не влияют отрицательно на почки, не накапливаются организмом и не приводят к постепенному изменению психического состояния в отличие от некоторых химических аналогов». Протеиновые батончики. Опасным для фигуры этот элемент спортивного питания мы делаем сами, забывая, что их основная функция — снабжение организма дополнительным количества белка, который требуется нам только в период интенсивных тренировок, а не в качестве перекуса, когда времени на обед у нас не остается. «Протеины — далеко не безвредный нутриент, и большое их количество может нанести непоправимые последствия для работы почек. Если вы не занимаетесь спортом, но придерживаетесь принципов правильного питания, то смысла в этих «заменителях пищи» я не вижу. Воспринимать их стоит как некое средство повышения тонуса, энергии, которую организм должен потратить. А поглощая их за компьютером в офисе, вы точно не похудеете». Безопасный вариант: перекусить таким батончиком диетологи разрешают только за час-полтора до интенсивной тренировки или сразу после нее. В отношении большинства диетических продуктов эксперты придерживаются одной позиции: вместо того, чтобы верить маркировкам, изучайте состав продукта. «Читайте этикетки внимательнее. Важно знать, какой используется белок, какой присутствует жир, сколько добавляют композиций со знаком «Е» и сколько добавляют сахара или его заменителей».

  Captivating Portraits Capture How People Look Turned Upside Down              How different can someone appear if you simply change the way that you’d normally look at them? Cape Town-based photographer Anelia Loubser explores this idea in her series Alienation, which is a collection of portraits that capture people turned upside down. The black and white photographs are zoomed in and show us crystal-clear depictions of the eyes, foreheads, and hair in ways that we aren’t used to seeing.     With this slight shift, Loubser creates entirely new faces that are uniquely strange yet oddly familiar because of their human features; a quick glance could make it seem as if these pictures are of alien beings. It results in a beautifully eerie set of images that are wonderfully expressive thanks to forehead wrinkles and arresting sets of eyes. We’re able to appreciate how small changes in our vantage point can produce completely new, interesting compositions and stories.  Do not forget to like, comment and rate the post!

  Recipes for a Chic Sunday Brunch   Star chef Marcus Samuelsson shares his recipes for brunch.     The party: A smorgasbord is a great way to go for a casual brunch. People serve themselves as much or as little as they like, and they can come and go throughout the morning and early afternoon. Once the food is set out, you’re free to socialize. After all, as Marcus points out, “the real reason the guests are there is to see you.” The food: This menu works well any time of the year. On a warm spring or summer day, all the food can be enjoyed at room temperature. On a crisp fall or winter morning, you can serve the tart warm with meatballs or couscous. When the guests arrive, just reheat the tart in a 300º F oven. The mood: Keep it simple, clean, and fresh. If you use your dining table as the buffet, you can invite guests to sit in the living room or on comfortable pillows scattered on the floor around a low table. A few little decorative touches, like a vase of flowers in a single color or a bowl of lemons and an as sortment of candles (yes, even in the daytime), are all you need to make this self-serve brunch feel warm and welcoming. To give the buffet a unified, natural look, serve the food on wooden cutting boards over a homespun runner that shows off the wood surface of your table. Easy extras: Round out the smorgasbord with a selection of thinly sliced Scandinavian-style breads, flatbreads, and crackers. Set out a few different kinds of mustard, along with capers, pickles, dill sprigs, lemon wedges, and paper-thin slices of onion, cucumber, and radish. You can also set out a bowl filled with hard-boiled eggs, a simple green salad, a platter of sliced fruit, or a big fruit salad tossed with finely shredded fresh mint. Mushroom, Goat Cheese & Tomato Tart Marcus always likes to include a substantial vegetarian item on the menu, so everyone has plenty to eat. This beautiful eggless tart is easy to make, especially if you purchase the pastry dough. Just roll out the dough to fit your tart pan and press it into the bottom and sides with your fingertips, folding the overhang inward to make a double layer around the sides. Serves 8 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup sliced button mushrooms 1/2 cup sliced portobello mushrooms 1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms 8 cloves garlic, halved lengthwise 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 8 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and halved lengthwise 6 to 12 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata or Niçoise olives, chopped 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 2 small-to-medium Idaho russet or other baking potatoes, unpeeled 1 unbaked 10-inch tart shell (see recipe introduction) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 6 ounces fresh goat cheese In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add all of the mushrooms and the garlic and sauté for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown. Remove from the heat. In a bowl, combine the mushrooms and garlic, the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil, the vinegar, tomatoes, anchovies, olives, and thyme and mix well. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours. After the mushrooms have stood for about 1 hour, preheat the oven to 400º F. Poke the potatoes in a few places with the tines of a fork and bake them for 40 minutes, or until they offer only a little resistance in the center when pierced with a thin-bladed knife. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 375º F. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Layer the potato slices in the bottom of the tart shell, seasoning them generously with salt and pepper as you go. Drain the mushroom mixture in a sieve held over a bowl to capture the marinade. Spread the mushroom mixture over the potatoes. Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the top. Bake the tart for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese begins to turn golden. Remove from the oven, let cool on a wire rack, and serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the reserved marinade just before serving.   Do not forget to like, coment and  rate the blog!

Researchers Discover First Feathered Dinosaur Tail Preserved in Amber. Image via Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM/ R.C. McKellar) Researchers in Myanmar made an incredible discovery last year by finding the first dinosaur tail preserved in amber. The findings were published recently in Current Biology and are all the more incredible due to that fact that the tail was covered in feathers. Paleontologist Lida Xing made the discovery in a local market, where amber is frequently sold for jewelry. In fact, the piece—which is about the size of an apricot—had already been partially shaped into an oval by a jeweler. Rather than damage their research, this actually helped them analyze the cross section of the tail, where they discovered remnants of iron deposits found in dinosaur soft tissue. The sample dates to the mid-Cretaceous Period, some 99 million years ago. And the feathers? While the first fossil evidence of feathered dinosaurs was found in the 1990s, the 1.4-inch preserved appendage is the first time scientists can clearly associate plumage with these extinct creatures. Based on the tail’s structure, it’s believed that it belonged to a juvenile coeleosaur. Coleosaurs are a group of  theropod dinosaurs that includes everything from tyrannosaurs to modern birds.

Selfishness in a Relationship "Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation reciprocal." ― Louis K. Anspacher Relationships are wonderful manifestation of love and care that lie in the human heart. While a relationship based on the strong foundations of love and commitment grows every day, a relationship marked by traces of selfishness and disrespect for the other partner is equally scary. While you can't expect perfection from your partner, it is to be understood that a certain sense of belonging and care is mandatory for the relationship to thrive and blossom. Selfish behavior starts, when either of the partners is too much concerned with the physical and emotional needs of oneself, giving the least amount of focus and thought about the other partner. The gravity of the problem intensifies, when the suffering partner is unable to figure out the cause of such an irrational behavior of the selfish partner. Any talks and arguments about the degrading relationship is refuted by the selfish partner and the relationship seems to be on the verge of extinction. No doubt selfishness in relationships leads to addictive and damaging relationships. Typical Signs of Selfishness A sudden and unexplained change in the behavior of the partner is the first signal to some problems. A behavioral change can be due to various factors, like stress or job pressures, but it doesn't mean that the person is not responding to your queries and questions. The partner may stop receiving your call and may even ignore you at home by not talking to you, sleeping in another room, and even skipping dinner or lunch with you. While, it is normal in relationships to have phases of ups and downs, it is quite a serious issue if the partner

10 Tips to Secure Personal Data from Online Snoopers When Tim Berners-Lee was coming up with the technology that has remodeled our world, he searched for a noun that might describe what he had in mind. The one he eventually settled on was “web”, that is however the globe wide internet got its name. To its artificer, the noun should have appeared dead apposite: it represented the complex, organic linking of web sites and pages that he had in mind. however “web” has alternative, nonliteral, connotations. Webs square measure things that spiders weave with the aim of capturing prey. And if you would like a image for wondering wherever we tend to square measure currently with networked technology, here’s one to think. Imagine a huge, world internet within which square measure unfree upwards of 2 billion flies. Most of these unfortunate creatures don’t apprehend – however – that they’re unfree. After all, they wandered cheerfully, willingly, into the net. a number of them even imagine that they might escape if they needed to. We square measure those insects. the sole means of escaping our difficulty is to renounce the globe within the means that Trappist monks once did. Since we’re not reaching to try this, we’ve got to face the reality: we tend to’re unfree during a system within which everything we do is monitored and logged and within which privacy could be a factor of the past. Everything that you simply do with trendy communications instrumentation leaves a digital path. And this path is followed assiduously not simply by large companies, however conjointly by governments and their security services – as vividly illustrated by the revelations of Edward Snowden. What’s astonishing is however unconcerned many of us seem to be concerning this. Is it as a result of {they square measure|they’re} unaware of the extent and comprehensiveness of the police work? Or is it some weird manifestation of capital of Sweden syndrome – that strange condition within which prisoners exhibit positive feelings towards their captors? What we’ve learned specifically from the Snowden leaks is that the size and capability of the National Security Agency surveillance are abundant bigger than anyone imaginary. most of the people had assumed that the majority non-encrypted communications were vulnerable and a few speculated that some encrypted communications (eg Skype) had a hidden backdoor for the National Security Agency. however no one realized that, because the latest revelations showed, all the cryptography technologies habitually accustomed shield on-line transactions (https, SSL, VPN and 4G encryption), and something researching Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Yahoo, are cracked. What this suggests is that no style of transmission handled by business firms will currently be assumed

Living a Creative Life What does it mean to live a creative life? It means looking for new and better ways to live from day to day and year to year, rather than going along on automatic or doing what everyone else around you is doing. It means applying that brainpower to more than just paying the bills and winning those video games - and more than even creative thinking or writing. For example, the usual approach to the problem of survival in a modern economy is to get a job. One’s creative impulses are usually limited to finding the "right" job and doing the things necessary or helpful to getting hired. But a person that is living a more creative life would approach this in an entirely different way. How? That depends on the person, and we can’t call it creativity if it is just a formula. But an example might give us an idea of a different way to think about this part of life. Instead of looking for a job, a truly creative person could ask the question, "Do I really need a job?" or even the more fundamental

Your Inner Voice My day started just like all the other days for the past 15 years where I get up, make some coffee, shower, get dressed and leave for the train station at preciously 7:35 A.M. to arrive at work by 8:30. While on the train I would always choose a seat away from the crowd so I can read the newspaper in peace and quiet. At work I am always being bombarded with questions from coworkers, suppliers, telephone and then those dreaded meetings so the last thing I need is some stranger to sit beside me and make small talk. I don’t know why but for some reason when I got on the train today it was unusually full, something I don’t recall ever happening in the past. With hesitation I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle aged man that had his head down and seemed to be lost in his thoughts. I was glad that he didn’t notice when I sat next to him as he just continued to look down towards the floor. Shortly after the train left for my 30 minute ride downtown I found myself wondering

Credit Card for Students For most university students, credit cards aren’t high on their priority list for things to take care of – after all, students with loans can pay for things with direct debit from their bank accounts, as can students that are being assisted financially by their parents. The simple truth of the matter is that most students don’t think about credit cards, so that when it gets to the point that they need one, they end up rushing through the selection process, ending up with a credit card that isn’t optimal for their needs or worse one that actually ends up being detrimental for them in the long run. So what should a student seeking a credit card do? Simple, they need to research! Look at a wide variety of student credit cards, their benefits and their drawbacks. Only select one that you feel comfortable with and that you feel addresses your needs well, while not providing you with too many setbacks. So what characteristics should you look for? Well, here are a few things to keep in mind in your search for the perfect student credit card.  Fees

Funny Quotes About Life There are really two ways of going about it - you can either sit moping about how unfair and unyielding life is and how the greater cause does not make sense to you or you can take everything in with a pinch of salt (along with some tequila and a lime wedge, if you will), have a few laughs and carry on, smiling at the weirdness of it all. It might not be sugary and rosy all the way, but it will definitely be an enjoyable ride if you know how to be a sport. Truth is always stranger than fiction and there can be no greater adventure than living it. Here are a few quick jibes at the roller coaster ride we call life from some of the funniest men of all time.

How to Relax Before Going to Bed After a tiring day, you are ready to hit the sack. However, all the troubled thoughts in your mind won't let you do so. No matter how much you try, a thought keeps popping up from somewhere. Sometimes, the anxiety to face a challenging day also leads to a restless night. Though these symptoms are considered normal, the benefits of a sound sleep can't be overestimated. It's very important for every human being to get at least 8 hours of 'soundless' sleep. If you sleep for 10 hours, and if you're restless and disturbed throughout the night, it's not going to help. To make sure you sleep like a baby, everyday, all you have to do is follow these tips. ▶ Things You Can Do Take a Bath Hot water helps in relaxing muscles that are stressed during the day.

  Chocolate Stout Cake with Caramel Marshmallow Cream Frosting Triple chocolate fudge cake is spiked with flavorful stout, baked into a SuperMoist™ cake and topped with caramel-kissed marshmallow fluff buttercream and a rich layer of dulce de leche. Everything that’s good in life, baked into a cake.   Sometimes flavor combos are so wickedly brilliant, it feels like you’ve come home when you conjure them up. It’s not unlike that song about the place where everybody knows your name. Know the song? Been stuck in my head all day. Because I started thinking about the perfect trifecta of flavors: stout, marshmallow, and caramel. And then I thunk about making a cake. And then I was like, “How has nobody ever made this cake, because those three flavors would basically be like Sam, Diane and Rebecca.” (Way too many midnights watching Cheers.) Which got me singing the theme song about everyone knowing your name and Googling “Where is Ted Danson now?” while making this perfect cake. And now I’m totally off track. But can you blame me? Chocolate Stout Cake. With Caramel Marshmallow Cream Frosting. This, friends, is the sort of thing that derails a long story. It’s also the sort of thing that tastes like friendship. In your favorite pub. Turned into a cake. Long story short: Make this cake. You will love.   It all starts here, with cake and beer. And if that doesn’t sound like a pub ballad waiting to be written, let me promise you: It is a pub pastry waiting to be tasted.   Bake those cakes. I love using 7-inch round cake pans because they yield these small, tall spheres of cakey goodness. You could also double the recipe and make a mad huge cake

  Homemade Toothpaste Recipes Decades back, when there were no toothpastes, tooth-powders, mouth washes, etc., people resorted to using natural substances to maintain overall dental health. When there were no brushes available, people would use Neem/Meliaceae/Azedarach tree sticks to brush their teeth with. Wash the stick, chew on it till it becomes soft and stranded, and your natural-one-time-use toothbrush is ready. Chewing on a neem stick would cause beneficial nutrients to enter the digestive system, and brushing with it would whiten teeth and prevent/heal gum problems. As kids, many of us hated brushing our teeth, only because we disliked its smell or taste. Though everyone's teeth texture is same, the problems faced by all are not. One person may have a tooth decay problem while someone else may face gum problems. Ready-made toothpastes that are available in the market claim to be effective for all dental problems; however, very few can find one that suits their dental needs. Isn't it better if we can prepare one at home that suits our personal needs to solve our dental problems? Given below are a few recipes to make one on your own. Recipe No.1 This is the most common and easy way of making homemade mint toothpaste. Take 6 teaspoons of baking soda, add ⅓ teaspoon of salt, 4 teaspoons of glycerin, and 15 drops of peppermint extract. Mix it well to form a thick paste just like a toothpaste, and store it in a

Only Action Will Create Wealth Most people have no idea how to create WEALTH. Don’t get offended. It’s not your fault. Did anyone give you a step by step plan and a way to have the money to implement that plan? Of course not! People from all walks of life struggle to generate more income than the needs in life. I know a lady that inherited 2+ million dollars and had no idea how to manage it. She let the "banker" invest it as he wished. He of course invested in bank stocks. You guessed it. The bank was one of the casualties of the banking scandal a few years ago. Why did this happen to her. Daddy managed everything and did not teach his children anything about finances. He died suddenly living his children totally clueless with

Remedies for Sweating Too Much Sweat is defined as a clear and salty liquid which is produced by sudoriferous glands in your skin. The process of its release from the body is called sweating. It is also known as perspiration. This is the natural process by which your body cools itself or maintains a comfortable temperature. Sweating occurs mainly under the arms, on the feet and palms. Sweat often mixes with bacteria present on the skin. The bacteria works upon it and produces a typical smell. Bathing regularly can prevent you from such body odor. What is Hyperhidrosis? You tend to sweat naturally a lot when you workout, are anxious, have high body temperature and are in a hot environment. Many women experience excessive sweating as they approach menopause. However, sweating too much without the given circumstances is abnormal. For example: sweating in winter or continuous sweating under normal temperature even when you are not doing any physical work. Such a medical condition is called hyperhidrosis. In Hyperhidrosis the cooling mechanism of ones body is overactive which results in the production of 3 to 4 times more sweat. Reasons Behind Excessive Sweating Hyperhidrosis is basically of two types. They are primary and secondary hyperhidrosis. The former type is due to genetic predisposition. It starts during adolescence. It gets aggravated by many conditions and situations. They are nervousness, anxiety, consumption of certain foods, nicotine, caffeine and some smells. The latter

Depression Warning Signs Depression is one such physical and mental health condition, which if neglected for long, can ruin the entire life of a person. It happens due to complicated interactions between certain chemicals in our body and the brain. The adverse effects of depression touches every aspects of our life, starting from lifestyle, relationships, performances at the workplace, and so on. About ten percent of people suffer from depression at least once in their lifetime. However, very few people seek medical attention to cure the problem. This is mainly because most of them fail to identify these warning signs. Warning Signs of Major Depression Depression cannot be diagnosed with the help of any physical examination or blood tests. You have to rely on the warning signs to detect it. Here we have mainly discussed the most common warning signs of depression. Prolonged Sadness Though happiness and sorrow are part and parcel of life, people who are suffering from some type of depression find it difficult to snap out of their despair. Bouts of crying, reckless behavior, guilt, and self-loathing are a few of the emotional responses of people in depression. Their self-esteem dips really low during an episode. This disorder is said to be the manifestation of passive aggression and people who are feeling a bit blue find themselves obsessing over their failures. Their perceived inadequacies make them feel angry and their rage is projected inwardly. Increased agitation and restlessness is also a common occurrence in this state.

That includes people who have already been on Facebook for years and still don't really know what they're doing. The truth is that most of us are in need of Facebook lessons, whether we want to admit it or not. Some people may need lessons on the website simply to learn how to have more fun, and use more of the features. For example, do you know how to tag photos that you post? Do you know how to post photos directly when you take them from your camera? Do you know how to include other people's names

Dating with Intensions The intentions behind a person's urge and need to date, are a clear reflection of how he perceives the process of dating. If a person is only looking for a short-term stint and sexual pleasure, then he may approach a date keeping only these two things in mind. Love, companionship, commitment and marriage would never be his intention. Besides the type of intentions I just mentioned, there are many other manifestations of intentions, that work at the subtle level, and influence a person's expectation from a date. Let us take a look at some major reasons why people go out together. At The Heart of Intentions Companionship. Although some people try to deny that, they need someone to love them, and someone who they can love back; it's true that everyone needs someone. Human interaction is normal, healthy and natural. Having a relationship with someone is an extremely meaningful experience. People who date for this reason aren't in denial about their needs as a human being. Sex. There are people who date just for sex. Sometimes people, particularly women, desire intimacy strongly, and think sex is the way to get it. It is the very closest you can get to a person, physically and spiritually. The other realms of closeness, emotional and intellectual,

Aromatherapy: Titillating the Senses Aromatherapy literally means curative treatment by means of fragrance. It refers to a particular branch of herbal medicine that uses concentrated plant oils called essential oils to improve physical and emotional health, and to restore balance. Each of these oils, has its own natural fragrance and gentle healing action. This makes it one of the most pleasant and popular alternative healing therapies. The pure essences of aromatic plants have been prized for thousands of years for their health-giving properties and scents. Origins It was 4500 BC, when the Chinese discovered plants with medicinal properties; they extracted the oils from these plants and used it as offerings to the Gods. Other than religious purposes, it was also used for preservation of corpses to prepare them for the next world. Early Use The oils played an important role in the rise in popularity of baths and massage, and body culture in Greece. Around 1000 AD, Arabians successfully distilled rose essence and they became the world's center for production of perfume. The medicinal properties of the oils were first highlighted in Western civilization in 14th and 15th century, when plague broke out in Europe and Asia. In order to disinfect various places, resins and oils of some aromatic plants were burned at these locations. It was however a French chemist, Rene Maurice Gattefosse, who coined the word aromatherapy after being impressed by the way his hand which was accidentally burnt in the laboratory, quickly healed when he immersed it in lavender oil.

10 Tips for Working From Home I’ve been working from home for close to six years now. As the head of the Account Management department at Mom It Forward (which is my full-time job), I also manage How To: Simplify, and dabble here and there over at Jen Tilley Photography. Working from home has been quite the experience. Before I started working for Mom It Forward, I was all too familiar with commutes and office work. Whether I had to drive an hour to get to work or ride the metro for an hour, once I got into the office, I sipped on my coffee while answering emails, hopping on conference calls, meeting with designers, attending meetings, and chatting with co-workers. I went out to lunch with co-workers or shopped during my lunch break. When the clock struck a reasonable “end of day” hour, I would shut everything down, head home, and enjoy the rest of my night. And then I was offered the opportunity to work from home thanks to Mom It Forward. From the type of work I was hired to do to the promise of working home, I was all about signing that dotted line. Little did I know how interesting things would get working from home. Cons of Working From Home When talking to people about working from home, so many people say, “Oh man. You are so lucky to work from home. That must be so nice.” Why, yes. Yes it is nice. I also get, “It must be so nice to spend all day with your son while you work at home.” Having a toddler run around asking for my attention while trying to answer emails, schedule conference calls, attack the work to do list, and keep my eyes open on very little sleep … it can be extremely difficult at times (speaking from experience since I somehow managed it for 23 months). So, enter the cons of working from home: You don’t really have a “clock in” and “clock out” time. As long as you have a computer and phone, you can work. You can become quite the homebody since work is at home. Your house is both for your personal space and your work space. You can never escape the office to go home because home is your office. You miss out on office camaraderie. You can turn into a workaholic since it’s so easy to just hop on your computer. A few minutes can easily turn into a few hours. You are the only person around all day. In other words, you can get a little lonely. You might have to look into daycare options for your child(ren) in order to successfully and effectively work from home. Pros of Working From Home There might be a few more cons to add to the list but I don’t want to get too negative. Why? Because I’m not a negative person. Plus, I love working from home. I absolutely love it. But, it has taken time for me to create a system that works for my family, for my work, and for me. I’m a workaholic

One Special Night As I sit here gazing out the window, Instead of working, I’m daydreaming of you... And wondering if while you’re in your own world, You’re thinking of me too. I reminisce about the day we met and how you made me feel, Looking at the glowing smile on your face, Staring

Life is Fine I went down to the river, I set down on the bank. I tried to think but couldn't, So I jumped in and sank. I came up once and hollered! I came up twice and cried! If that water hadn't a-been so cold I might've sunk and died.

How sweet and lasting can a kiss be? My heart begs me to find the place, When my lips were found upon your face. When crimson flush had filled

Sometimes it's easy to get so caught up in a relationship that you don't stop and think how your actions look to someone other than your partner. Yet often the way to get an accurate assessment as to the kind of partner you are, is by seeing what others think of you. Whether or not you're a jealous person is one of these issues because you may have no idea that your behavior comes across as that of a jealous partner, rather than a caring one. Your friends, and your partner's friends, however will have a better view on that! If you don't think that you're jealous, consider how you act when your partner is out with other people. Do you trust them completely? Are you secure enough to know that even if there's some mild flirtation

My love, Are you still mine? 'Cause there are many... Fantasy thoughts going through my head, As all I do is think of you... As I've hungered, For your loving burning touch, As I need

Democracy always favors dialogue over confrontation. So, too, in Pakistan, where the terrorists who threaten both our country and the United States have gained the most from the recent verbal assaults some in America have made against Pakistan. This strategy is damaging the relationship between Pakistan and the United States and compromising common goals in defeating terrorism, extremism and fanaticism. It is time for the rhetoric to cool and for serious dialogue between allies to resume. Pakistan sits on many critical fault lines. Terrorism is not a statistic for us. Our geopolitical location forces us to look to a future where the great global wars will be fought on the battleground of ideas. From the Middle East to South Asia, a hurricane of change is transforming closed societies into marketplaces of competing narratives. The contest between the incendiary politics of extremism and the slow burn of modern democracy is already being fought in every village filled with cellphones, in every schoolroom, on every television talk show. It is a battle that moderation must win. Our motives are simple. We have a huge population of young people who have few choices in life. Our task is to turn this demographic challenge into a dividend for democracy and pluralism, where the embrace of tolerance elbows out the lure of extremism, where jobs turn desolation into opportunity and empowerment, where plowshares take the place of guns, where women and minorities have a meaningful place in society. None of this vision for a new Pakistan is premised on the politics of victimhood. It pivots on a worldview where we fight the war against extremism and terrorism as our battle, at every precinct and until the last person, even though we lack the resources to match our commitment. When Pakistan seeks support, we look for trade that will make us sustainable, not aid that will bind us in transactional ties. When we commit to a partnership against

4 Reasons Why You Fail At Investing If you are like the average investor, you fail at investing. I’m sorry to be so harsh, but studies have shown this to be true. The average investor only earns 2% a year while the stock market earns an average of 8%. Why the discrepancy? The main reason is because we are human and we derail ourselves from what should be done. Below I list 4 of the biggest reasons why you fail at investing. Are you guilty of any of these?   4 Reasons Why You Fail At Investing You’re A Trader, Not An Investor If you find yourself placing buy and sell trades frequently throughout the year, then you are a trader and not an investor. An investor creates a plan and chooses a basket of investments to invest in. Then she makes it a point to continuously buy more and more of these holdings. There is no selling because she is invested for the long-term. When you trade, you are trying to take advantage of short-term market fluctuations. This

The Importance of Coaching   Why coaching services are expanding and how best to use a coach. You are a key member of your company. People rely on your leadership, interpersonal skills, judgments and decisions and expect you to continually 'come up with the goods'. As a matter of course, you are called upon to give keynote speeches, chair crucial meetings, develop strategy and people, focus on succession planning, handle crises and deal with the internal and external pressures that go with your position. Part of the deal is that others do expect you to handle all that and more with grace, professionalism, energy and enthusiasm. And then there's the rest of your life, too: all that work-life balance stuff.

Natural Remedies for Heartburn and Severe Acid Reflux Heartburn is something that most adults will experience during their lifetime. It is characterized by an uncomfortable burning sensation right behind the breastbone that often times creeps up the throat and is a symptom more so than a disease. GERD is usually caused by changes in the barrier between the stomach and the esophagus, including abnormal relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, which normally holds the top of the stomach closed, impaired expulsion of gastric reflux from the esophagus. Acid reflux symptoms most often occur: after eating a heavy meal, When bending over or lifting an object and when lying down, especially on your back. While over-the-counter and prescription medications are available, if you suffer only from occasional heartburn, lifestyle changes and heartburn home remedies may be the route you want to take. Drink Aloe Juice Aloe is a plant used to soothe burns, and people often think of using it to help something like sunburn, but it can do more than that. You will need: 1/2 cup aloe vera juice. Drink a ½ cup of aloe juice, cool or room temperature, before meals. It may be able to help with heartburn too because it reduces inflammation. Keep in mind that aloe can act as a laxative. Avoid Tight Fitting Clothes Things cinched tightly about your waist or middle can worsen heartburn. If you have super tight jeans on, when you sit down, the waistband is going to sink into your abdomen region. Same goes for tight belts-and even shirts can be a problem for some. Pressure on your lower esophageal sphincter which make it more likely stomach contents, will push through and you’ll

10 Steps to Set up an Online Clothing Store More than a couple of decades back, opening any kind of convenience or clothing store would involve steps like finding a location, deciding on finance, finding wholesalers, and then opening the store for sale. Despite the fact that marketing was an important phase, print media was more effective. As of today though, using the internet as a marketing tool for business is a fairly common practice; in fact, going online is the new mantra! So much that we can actually shop online. Shopping sites like Ebay and Amazon are some of the well-known shopping websites. If you like to deal with fabrics and designs and wish to open a clothing store, how about turning to the internet for help? This article will tell you how to start an online clothing store. While it focuses on clothing, the same can be applied to any other online store. Steps to Set Up an Online Clothing Store Read the steps below to know how to run a successful online clothing store. Pick a Niche This is one of the most important things you need to start an online clothing store (or for that matter, any store). Clothing and apparel is a very broad category. Therefore, to begin with, decide your product. Decide what you intend to sell. You may have several ideas where clothing is concerned. Would you like to explore floral prints? Or, would you prefer specializing in personalized clothing? You may even like to sell solely prom and cocktail dresses. Or you may specialize in recycled clothing or funky t-shirts or spring/winter clothing. Lay out your options and ideas and come up with a suitable option. You may want to open a store that has all the necessary clothing as well - jeans, tops, dresses, etc. But if you want to stand out, perhaps you need to put in a little more thought regarding the product offering. Your product design must be original. 'Exclusive' should be the watchword. You also have to consider your target audience. Your products will be different with an elderly audience and different with a teen audience or with kids. Once you have made an informed choice, proceed to the next step. Conduct Research Market research is not an option; it is a compulsion. You are not the only one who is planning to open an online store; there are many others who might be thinking about it currently, and many others who have already done so. You have to research your competition. Find out what they are selling, and try to incorporate something unique with your brand. Find out how much demand there is for your product. For instance, you will probably want to sell hand-knitted woolen tops, but they may not be very much in demand. Scrounge online forums, social media, and general surveys to research on the product demand. Another point you need to decide is the manufacturing. Are you going to design and manufacture the product yourself? Or are you going to get it designed and produced from a designer and supplier? Or you might opt for a combination. You might want your own designs, but you might get them manufactured

How to Make More Money?

For an individual with some time, a part-time or job on the side might be helpful with financial normal problems. The Internet is a good place to seek additional income side, especially with auction sites and other similar possibilities. For the person with a full-time job or part

Internet Marketing Business Plan Internet Marketing, as a concept, is a requirement for any business or service provider, these days. I know, there are several websites that will help you to get your Internet promotion planning done yourself (a few of my articles would fall in the list too). Nonetheless, those ideas are most effective in case of small businesses. Like, if a business is in set up mode, then it would not be favorable for it to spend a lot of money on hiring professionals. As such, the "do-it-yourself" business plans are good to start off with. But, in the case of moderate to big businesses, the most plausible idea would be to hire a firm that could handle the Internet marketing on their behalf. This is why businesses promoted online have scope. As usual, I am going to start off with a case study: "LinkIn Consultancy is a firm that deals in Internet promoting solutions. It was started by a group of 4 college friends who were very Internet savvy and had done their Marketing Management Courses. As such, they know what the market needs and how to

Can Social Media Affect Your Credit Score How will you feel if you go to a credit-rating bureau to inquire about your low credit score, and the authorities answer, "We have monitored every move of yours! Your credit score is low due to your Facebook updates, as you have checked-in at 25 expensive restaurants in a month. You have even tweeted that you have run out of cash and will soon require a personal loan to support your lifestyle." You will be flabbergasted to find out how your creditworthiness was based on innocent and fun comments you posted on social networking sites. A couple of months back, one of the leading news vehicles reported that the credit reporting agencies are testing the integration of social media into the financial process in order to source information about an individual's creditworthiness and also establish his online identity. This means that even the harmless information you upload, can work against you in the complicated calculations of your credit score. Imagine someone rummaging through your social networking history including those of your friends. Scary isn't it? Don't worry, currently none of the top three credit rating agencies, i.e., Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian have resorted to include your social networking activities in your credit score. However, in the near future, whether it's your Facebook, Twitter, or personal blogs, every word you may have said--taking the liberty of it being your 'personal profile'--could be thoroughly scrutinized to draw inferences about your creditworthiness and to judge your personality. Let us explore a few more points regarding social media activity affecting credit score. Essential for Effective Risk Management People, who are in favor of social media activity affecting credit score claim that it can be treated as an effective medium to gain access to the type of personality of an individual, his identity, and creditworthiness. They also say that banks and creditors can manage the risk of lending money effectively, if they know the complete details about the person. Research Under Progress If you thought that by only paying your bills on time, you will be able to maintain a healthy credit score, then you are completely wrong. In a press release, Equifax stated that they are exploring the possibility of clubbing unstructured data (along with data from the social media) with structured, attributable data in order to develop analytical models that will help to assess the risks in better way and verify the person's identity. This means that any time in

Accomplishments of Mother Teresa Mother Teresa was an Albanian Roman Catholic nun and a citizen of India. She is known to the world for her humanitarian approach towards society. Throughout life, she worked towards alleviating the sufferings of the sick and the dying. She was always a strong supporter of the poor and the helpless. Let us look at the accomplishments of this noble woman, Mother Teresa. Major Accomplishments of Mother Teresa In 1946, Mother Teresa received a divine message, possibly an intuition, after which she decided to devote her life to the betterment of society.

Change your Life If you want to be able to change your life, then you must do something that you have not been doing up until this point. Jim Rohn said it best when he said, “For things to change, you must change.” The people who are able to create the life that they want despite their circumstances are the people who are able to get themselves to do what is necessary long enough to see their dreams become a reality. If you currently have a life that makes you unhappy or unsatisfied, then in order to change it, you must take a new set of actions. In this article, I will share with you a couple of tips to help you create a different outcome than the one you are currently heading towards. Change Your Mind Change Your Life The first thing you will need to change is your beliefs about what you can or cannot accomplish. I’m not only talking about money here. I’m talking about anything and everything that is important to you. If you want a wonderful relationship, then you must first believe that it’s possible. If you want a successful career, then you must first believe that it’s within your reach. Belief is a powerful thing, so powerful that if you believe you were meant to live a mediocre life, then that fate will be set in stone, at least in your mind. So how do you change your belief about what is possible? The first thing you need to do is understand what a belief is. A belief is simply a feeling of certainty. When you believe something, you are certain that it is true. When you don’t believe something, you are certain that it’s not true or

Food That Help And Harm Your Sleep If you could pick the right foods to help you get the best sleep possible, wouldn't you? And if you knew which foods would hinder your restful slumber, wouldn't you avoid them? Now's your chance to learn which foods to eat, and which to steer clear of for a good night's sleep.   Reach for Tryptophan-Rich Foods We've all heard of warm milk's magical ability to send us off to dreamland. Do you know why it's true? Dairy foods contain tryptophan, which is a sleep-promoting substance. Other foods that are high in tryptophan include nuts and seeds, bananas, honey, and eggs.   Indulge Your Craving for Carbs Carbohydrate-rich foods complement dairy foods by increasing the level of sleep-inducing tryptophan in the blood. Few perfect late night snacks to get you snoozing might include a bowl of cereal and milk, yogurt and crackers, or bread and cheese. Have a Snack Before Bedtime If you struggle with insomnia, a little food in your stomach may help you sleep. But don't use this as an open invitation to pig out. Keep the snack small. A heavy meal will tax your digestive system, making you uncomfortable and unable to get soothing ZZZs.

How This Blog Makes $100K per Month You know everyone thinks we’re fools, right? To most of the world, blogging is a joke. It isn’t a career. It isn’t a way to make money. It isn’t a tool for changing the world. It’s a hobby, a diversion, a fad that’ll come and go. Sure, you can start a blog, but don’t count on it to make you any money. That’s just silly. Try telling your family or friends or coworkers you want to quit your job and make money blogging. They’ll smile politely and ask, “Does anybody really make money from that?” Yes, they want you to have dreams. Yes, they want you to chase them. Yes, they want you to succeed. But they also want you to be “realistic.” If you really want to improve your life, you should get an advanced degree, write a book, or even start your own business, not hang all your hopes and dreams on some stupid little blog. Nobody can make money blogging. Can they? Well, I’m hesitant to say this, but… This blog makes over $100,000 per month. In fact, here’s a screenshot of our sales from January 2016: Granted, it was a good month. We don’t always make that much money. But we almost always cross $100,000 in sales. How? Well, I’ll tell you. Not because I want to brag (well, maybe a little), but because most of the advice out there about monetizing your blog is complete crap. For instance, do you see any ads on this site? No? How about e-books for sale? None of those either, huh? There’s a reason why. How I Learned to Make Money Blogging Over the past eight years, I’ve had the good fortune to work with some of thesmartest bloggers on the planet. I worked with Brian Clark as he builtCopyblogger to a multimillion dollar brand. Neil Patel and Hiten Shah also hired me to help them launch the KISSmetrics blog, eventually creating a multimillion dollar SaaS company. Combined, I wouldn’t be surprised if both blogs have earned more than $50 million. In comparison, the $100,000 per month I’ve managed to generate is a pittance. I’ll also be straight up with you… that income is far from passive. For the first several years, I worked 80-100 hours a week, and even now I usually put in at least 60 hours. The good news? It’s paid off. If you’ll take some of these lessons to heart, it’ll pay off for you too. Because here’s the thing: You’re Not a Fool. You Can Make Money Blogging. So, you want to make a living teaching other people what you know? Nothing wrong with that. Professors do it. So do public speakers and best-selling authors. Hell, consulting is a $415 billion industry, and what are all those consultants doing? Getting paid to teach. Blogging is no different. It’s just the same old models with some rocket fuel thrown in, courtesy of social media. Come on, How Do Bloggers Really Make Money? You want specific steps? Fine. Here’s exactly how to make money from your blog: Write content that gets lots of traffic Convert visitors into email subscribers Send those subscribers content that builds trust Sell products or services your audience wants   That’s it. Four steps. The problem? It’s freaking hard to do. The process is simple on the surface, but each step is enormously complicated and requires extraordinary skill. Especially the last one. For instance, do you want to sell your own products or services? If so, which ones? Here are just a few of the options: Make money blogging by selling these types of things Or… what if you don’t have any products and services to sell? What should you do then? Well, you can also make money blogging by selling someone else’s products and services. The most conventional (and least profitable) method is selling advertising, where you allow companies to promote their products and services to your audience in exchange for a fee. You can also form partnerships with other companies, promoting their products and services as an “affiliate” and earning a commission each time one of your readers purchases. Which model should you choose? What should you do? It’s up to you to decide, but before making your decision, there’s one crucial lesson you need to understand: You’re Not Just a Blogger The moment you decide to use your blog to make money, you’re no longerjust a blogger. At that moment, you also become an entrepreneur, and your blog becomes a small business. You’ve probably heard of financial planners giving free seminars to attract clients, right? Well, blogging is a lot like those free seminars. You’re giving away your expertise and knowledge in the hopes of attracting customers and then gaining their trust. In other words, if your goal is to make money, your blog is a lead generation mechanism. It also nurtures those leads until they are ready to purchase. “But Jon,” you say. “This sounds too corporate. I just want to make a few bucks on the side teaching people what I know.” My response? Don’t start a blog. In my opinion, it’s a terrible way to make a few bucks on the side. For one, there’s the time investment. I’ve never seen anyone learn everything necessary to build a profitable blog in less than three years. For two, there’s the chance of failure. Your first two or three blogs you start will probably fail because you make a fatal misstep. In other words, it’s exactly like starting a business. Exactly. Can you get rich? Sure, that’s why many people are attracted to entrepreneurship. If you start and grow a successful business, you can make millions or even billions of dollars. But you can also lose everything. For every entrepreneur who makes millions, there are dozens who invest years of their life into companies that ultimately fail, sometimes bankrupting them in the process. It’s a high risk/high reward lifestyle, and it requires more skill, smarts, and good old-fashioned work than most people can fathom. I’m not saying that to discourage you. I’m just trying to make sure you have reasonable expectations. Let me tell you how it happened for me… My Journey from $0-$100,000 a Month It took me about five
