  Feeling stressed? What are you eating? Most of us reach for comfort foods when we are stressed, such as cookies, cake, candy and other high sugar, low fiber foods. These foods can increase the development of chronic inflammation developing and affecting our body. High levels of chronic inflammation are believed to cause rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, asthma, reduced kidney function and inflammatory bowel disease.  Prolonged chronic inflammation increases our risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other diseases.  Even low amounts of inflammation can increase your risk of obesity, depression and the effects of aging.  By eating a healthier diet we may reduce our risk of chronic inflammation and diseases.  One study on postmenopausal women found that those eating a healthier diet reduced their risk of death from any cause by 60 percent and had an 88 percent reduced risk of death from breast cancer. What should we eat to avoid chronic inflammation from building up in our body? Th

Beyond the basics of personal financial management #1. Stop and smell the roses Getting the essentials of your financial plan in place is a HUGE accomplishment. So before you start stressing about the next step, take some time to reflect on the journey you took to get to this point and allow yourself to feel good about where you are. The fact that you’ve already made so much progress means that the pressure is off. You no longer HAVE to do anything. Now you get to decide what you WANT to do. That’s a great place to be. Enjoy the moment at least a little bit before diving right into the next thing. #2. Revisit your personal priorities You’ve already made a lot of good decisions. Your family is financially secure. You’re working towards financial independence. You’re in good shape. You no longer have to worry about making the “optimal” financial decision or choosing the “right” thing. Instead, take a step back and think hard about what you want from  life . What’s impo

Mind strengthening   Exploit your weakness. This first challenge will seem counterintuitive, but there’s good science to support it. If you’re a morning person who's most productive and alert early in the day, try tackling a creative task late at night, and vice versa for you night owls. You’ll discover that this stress on your brain—asking it to work hard at a time when you usually don’t—can yield surprisingly good results. It works best for creative tasks, rather than analytic tasks, and you’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish when you work at what isn’t your typically optimum time. Play memory games. Whether it’s a low-tech matching game or a high-tech solution like Lumosity, actively working to improve your memory produces measurable results. Memory really is key to not just appearing, but also being smart. Imagine if you could recall everything you’ve ever learned. That may never happen, but if you can train your brain to be able to recall even a small porti

Self-sustaining lifestyle Self-sustainability  and  self-sufficiency  are overlapping states of being in which a person or organization needs little or no help from, or interaction with, others. Self-sufficiency entails the  self  being enough (to fulfill needs), and a self-sustaining entity can maintain self-sufficiency indefinitely. These states represent types of personal or collective  autonomy . [1] A self-sufficient  economy  is one that requires little or no trade with the outside world and is called an  autarky . Self-sustainability is a type of  sustainable living  in which nothing is consumed other than what is produced by the self-sufficient individuals. Examples of attempts at self-sufficiency in  North America  include  simple living ,  food storage ,  homesteading ,  off-the-grid ,  survivalism ,  DIY ethic , and the  back-to-the-land movement . Practices that enable or aid self-sustainability include  autonomous building ,  permaculture ,  sustainable agricul

A  hamburger  (short:  burger ) is a sandwich consisting of one or more cooked  patties  of ground meat, usually beef, placed inside a sliced bread roll or bun. The patty may be pan fried, grilled, or  flame broiled . Hamburgers are often served with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, bacon, or chiles; condiments such as ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, relish, or "special sauce"; and are frequently placed on sesame seed buns. A hamburger topped with cheese is called a cheeseburger. The term "burger" can also be applied to the meat patty on its own, especially in the United Kingdom, where the term "patty" is rarely used, or the term can even refer simply to ground beef. Since the term hamburger usually implies beef, for clarity "burger" may be prefixed with the type of meat or meat substitute used, as in beef burger, turkey burger, bison burger, or veggie burger. Hamburgers are sold at fast-food restaurants, diners, and specialty and hig

Microsoft is best known for its Windows operating systems and Office software. But the company has a much broader product portfolio that includes online services (Bing, MSN, advertising), gaming (Xbox 360), hardware (tablets, PCs, keyboards and mice) and more. The company also has a sizable certification program that turns out qualified administrators and technicians to support its system and application products. Achieving IT certifications through the Microsoft Certification Program shows a person's competence in a specific IT role, and it can result in all kinds of work-related and personal benefits. For example, studies show that IT certifications increase the chances of landing a job (or getting a promotion), and over 80 percent of hiring managers report IT certifications are medium to high priority in hiring decisions. Microsoft certification program overview Currently, the Microsoft Certification Program is divided into seven main categories: Cloud Platform and Inf
