Health / How To Test Your Body Fat Easily by sammytee30(m): 3:53pm On Oct 21, 2016
Body fat is the amount of fat in your body when you compare it to bones, muscles, water, tendons, organs and other body components. To remain healthy and minimize the chances for cardiovascular and many other diseases, you should lower your body fat levels to at least normal percentages of 25-31% in female and 18-25% in male. To know when you are healthy it's recommended that you measure the levels of the fat. To help you out, here are some of the ways you can do it:


Fat calipers
This work by requiring you to pinch your fat with your fingers and then measuring the thickness of the pinched area using the fat caliper. Some calipers require you to measure the thickness in one area while others will require you to measure it in different areas. The readings are given in millimeters (mm) and you are supposed to compare your readings to a chart (that has your age and gender) in order to find your body fat percentage.

The good side of using the calipers is that they are cheap; therefore, you can buy them and put them in your house. Compared to their cost, they are accurate. To have an easy time using the calipers it's recommended that you go for the ones that require you to measure only one test area.


Comparing yourself to a chart
This can be the easiest method of determining your body fat. All you need to do is take a picture and compare it to yourself. If you are keen when doing it you can accurately estimate your body fat percentage. If you are having trouble making an accurate estimation, you should ask a friend to help you out.


DEXA scan
Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry or DEXA as it's often called is a highly accurate body fat testing method that works by determining how fat is distributed in the various parts of the body. The process requires you to use a body scanner with low dose x-rays; therefore, you don't have to worry about being exposed to high x-ray levels. In addition to being very accurate, it takes only 10-20 minutes to complete; therefore, you can rush to the hospital, get the test done and go on with your activities.

Family / 3 Major Types Of Men You Should Avoid As A Woman by sammytee30(m): 8:30pm On Sep 16, 2016
Every woman deserves the best man out there. When you are in the dating scene, you need to avoid men that might waste your time and in the process hurt you. Here are some of these men:

Married man
If you have been in the dating scene for some time, you must have come across plenty of men posing as single while they aren't. These men are just trying to take advantage of you and waste your time in the process. The most obvious giveaway sign that a man is married is if he has two cell phones. Another sign is if he is available only when he wants to or only available at odd times of the day. A married man also will never want you to visit his place. If you come across such a person, don't waste your time with him-unless you are looking for a relationship that isn't heading anywhere.

Narcissist
A narcissistic man is a man who thinks that he is better than everyone else. He feels that he is the best creation ever made by God. While dating experts will tell you that you shouldn't date a man that isn't confident of himself, you shouldn't touch a narcissistic man. While he will project confidence, he isn't the right one for you. Such a man always talks about himself. He will say how attractive, intelligent, and a host of other self-appraisal things. In some cases, he will try to belittle you.

To tell that you are dating a narcissist you need to listen to him talk. You should also take a look at his social media accounts. If the accounts are a collection of selfies with celebrities and people that are deemed high in society, you should run for the hills. It's only a matter of time before he starts feeling that he can do better than you and start looking for your replacement.

Family / 7 Ways To Improve Your Relationship With Your Parents by sammytee30(m): 7:34pm On Sep 14, 2016
In our busy day, we have been neglecting our parents on one pretext or the other. In the resultant mad rush, we have easily forgotten our parents and have taken them for granted. We have not cared for what they want, instead have given what we think is right for them. We always form the opinion that they will understand the way we have been all the way. At times, we are often confronted with the charge of mediating for them. Consider these tips for improving connections with our valuable assets before they are gone forever:

1. Smile When You See Parents: It is always good to greet them with a pleasant smile. You don't have to utter words. At times, the mere smile may work wonder for your parents. If you can add to this smile with some caring words, they will cherish them forever.

2. Learn About Them: From your busy lives, you need to take some time out and try to figure out about your parents. Most often you do not have patience and time to spend valuable time with them. Once you learn about them, you will get better opportunities to deal with them more carefully and lovingly.

3. Declare Your Love for Parents: Tell them that you love them and bring home some surprising gifts for them that they like. You need to gift those things that they cherish but have not disclosed to you. Sometimes, you need to dig into the past of your parents to get the information about their likes and dislikes.

4. Communicate Often With the Parents: As far as possible, try to have a one-on-one interaction with your parents. You can schedule these chatting times after the dinner when family members sit together to take rest and share their thoughts. These times you spend with your parents are quality time for them.

5. Make a Positive Phone Call Home: When you are away from home, you should positively make call to home to inquire about the welfare of the parents. This would remove the sense of loneliness in their lives and instill the belief that there is somebody to care for them.

Health / Toothache:meaning And How To Manage It by sammytee30(m): 4:37pm On Sep 02, 2016
A toothache is pain that you feel in or around your tooth. Most often, toothache pain is a sign that there's something wrong with your tooth or gums. Sometimes, however, toothache pain is referred pain. That means the pain is caused by a problem elsewhere... A toothache is pain that you feel in or around your tooth.

If you have a toothache, it is most likely to be the fault of a cavity, but that’s just one of the many causes of toothaches.

SENSITIVE TEETH
Toothaches are generally caused by lack of proper care for the teeth. But going into details, there are quite a few reasons that cause people to have toothaches.
Do you feel sharp pains whenever you take any food or drink with extreme temperature variations (hot or cold)? It could either be that you have a cavity, or could be due to teeth sensitivity. Sensitive teeth are a result of thinning of your tooth enamel or gums receding.
One way to ease this or to reduce it to the barest minimum is to use a toothbrush with soft bristles and toothpaste made specifically for people with sensitive teeth. This can help a lot before you get to visit a dentist to find out the actual cause.

EVEN MORE SEVERE TOOTHACHES
If you’re feeling sharp pains when you bite and chew food, it could be a cavity or a cracked tooth. If it’s an unending pain that feels like something is beating up in your mouth, it could be tooth abscission and proper attention should be paid to the erring tooth immediately for it not to lead to tooth loss.

OTHER UNCOMMON CIRCUMSTANCES
One other type of toothache that is not very common but is of great significance in the dental realm is sinus infection. You might be wondering what Sinus infection means; let me take you down memory lane. Sinus infection, medically known as Sinusitis is one that occurs when the nasal cavity gets swollen and inflamed.
If you only experience pain on the upper part of your teeth and both sides of your face, it is likely a sinus infection. This type of toothache comes with nasal congestion. If you are experiencing symptoms of this nature, it is best to seek the counsel of your dentist.

HOW TO MANAGE TOOTHACHES
To reduce the pain of a toothache, you can take a painkiller. Make sure they are Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) like Aspirin, Tylenol or Ibuprofen, which work well to help reduce the pain. You are to follow the dosage recommended on the pack or by your dentist.

You can also put cold compresses on the part where the pain is being felt. Put ice in a bag or a towel, this would help a lot. You’re not to apply the ice directly on the tooth because the tooth that aches is sensitive to hot or cold temperatures.

Some toothaches like the ones caused by mild infections can be sent off using the sea salt rinse method to help the pain subside. The sea salt rinse is made with warm water and a spoonful of sea salt. As soon as the salt is dissolved in the water, gargle the sea salt water in your mouth for some time and make sure it gets to the infected part. Do this as often as possible and it will eventually help reduce the severity of the toothache. Click Here To continue

Business / 3 Effective Tips On How To Generate Passive Income by sammytee30(m): 8:27pm On Aug 31, 2016
Perhaps you have already seen that many social media tips are focusing on passive income. Passive income is the income obtained on a regular basis along with a little effort to sustain it. This does not denote that it doesn't take any effort to build it, as it certainly takes effort. In addition, it is not for everybody; however, if you have any interest in earning some income, which streams to your own bank account any time of the day, then you need to discover passive income.

Sell Your Digital Items

The best thing about having different types of digital products is that once you put in the time making every item, they are done. List them for sale on sites like jiji, olx, Amazon and much more, as they are accessible 24/7. In addition, you can also sell your digital items off your own WordPress/Blogger site.


Teach other people through live training and Webinars

Once you do these things live, then you can use the replays for the list building or maybe sell them on your online store.

Did you know that Webinars could be recorded along with Go To Meeting, Zoom and Google Hangouts and other webinar hosting platforms? Whichever direction you want to choose, the only key here is to get started. As time goes by, the number of items you acquired will add up.

Plus, you could also sell them separately in several places online or you could collect them all together and put everything you teach in one huge offer. This is exactly what some people do. They took all their courses and turned it into one huge academy. The result, they become a millionaire teaching other people on how to succeed in life and business.

Build and sell your own success

You will need a wealth of knowledge inside of you that lots of people can benefit from. It's the time you think about what you really know most about, what you prefer assisting others and transform it into a course.

Webmasters / How To Set Up A Blog Schedule To Promote Your Success by sammytee30(m): 8:18pm On Aug 31, 2016
If you’re struggling through the agonizing process of figuring out how to set up a blog schedule you may feel completely overwhelmed.
How can you publish a post every day if you feel burnt out?
Is it even possible to publish a thorough, SEO-optimized resource in a week’s worth of time?
Before you go batty trying to find the right blogging schedule for you consider the root of your pain.

[center]How to Set Up a Blog Schedule[/center]

If you have problems getting your work done you haven’t properly planned your schedule.
Taking into account why you’re blogging is the first step in this process.

Discover Your Why
Let the reason why you’re blogging guide you.
Be led by your freedom. Be led by your fun.
When you know why you’re blogging – and tie that reason to having fun, freeing yourself and helping your readers – you will build your day around writing, editing and publishing your blog posts.
Write the reason why you’re blogging on a piece of paper.
Fold the paper. Tuck it into your pocket.
Let that paper be your blogging guide.
If you’re struggling to set aside time to blog pull out the paper to get back on course.

Pull Back
Pull back from your posting schedule.
Almost all bloggers with scheduling problems feel overwhelmed by publishing posts too frequently.
Post at most once weekly during this pull back phase.
If you’re really having a tough time with following or even setting a blogging schedule publish posts every 2 weeks.
Take a slow, deep breath. Exhale. Relax.
Publish posts less frequently to stick to your schedule and to improve the quality of your work.

Post Frequency
Only publish a thorough, SEO-optimized, in-depth resource to give your readers the most possible value.
If this means publishing a blog post once every 2 weeks stick to that schedule to create targeted, quality offerings.
Publishing a thorough resource that solidifies your blogging reputation 3 to 4 times a week is virtually impossible and almost always leads to burnout and failure.
Your goal is not to publish content. Your goal is to publish a helpful resource to build your blogging brand on a rock solid foundation.
Establish a posting frequency that allows you to create an in-depth, long form post spanning from 1,000 to 3,000 words or more each time you hit the“publish” button.

Set Deadlines for 3 Stages

Write.
Edit and format.
Publish.
Establish an orderly workflow by setting deadlines for each stage of the blog post publishing process.
Set a deadline for writing your next post. Give yourself 3 days to hammer out the first draft.
Set aside the next 2 days for editing and formatting. Reread the post out loud. Does it sound okay? Edit by trimming fat or by adding value. Format the post by adding professional images, bolding and italics to your post.
Allow the post to sit for a few days. Publish after reading the post for the last time.
Publishing requires little work. Set a short and sweet deadline for publishingto ensure that the post goes live.

Work from Your Inner Clock
Honor your inner clock to set a blog schedule that works for you.
Early bird bloggers should work in the morning.
Night owls can work deep into the evening.
Maybe you prefer to write during afternoon hours.
Listen to your body. Follow your intuition.
Set a blogging schedule which agrees with your inner clock to stick to it.

Business / 5 Ways To Increase Your Productivity Using Technology by sammytee30(m): 12:05pm On Aug 30, 2016
Why not enhance your productivity by making the most of devices you already own? If used properly, technology can increase productivity for you and your business in enormous ways. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. To-Do List Apps
Simple to-do list apps are a great resource to organize your tasks and give you a clear focus towards getting them done. Google Tasks is an extension of your Google account that is easy to use and instantly beneficial. For iOS users, apps like Clear and OmniFocus are elegant, straightforward ways to record your tasks and sync them across multiple devices.

2. Note Taking Apps
Note taking apps such as Google Keep, OneNote and Evernote can help you record important information and access it easily. Thanks to cloud storage, you can take notes on one device and access them at any time on another platform. Additionally, Evernote has a comprehensive, searchable storage system that lets you organize notes with tags and notebooks.

3. Web-based Project Management Programs
Web-based project management systems are an effective way to unite progress and priorities for multiple people. They are easily accessed and instantly update multiple workers on the current project status. Teambox is a subscription based service that makes it easy to assign tasks and due-dates. WorkZone is another service that streamlines communication by allowing users to tag updates and changes they have made.

Health / Reasons Why Nutrition Is Important by sammytee30(m): 8:48pm On Aug 27, 2016
Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism. It includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion.

Good nutrition is eating food that has all the nutrients necessary for your body. These include: vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, and fat. There are many benefits of taking a good diet. These benefits include:

You are healthy
The nutrients found in food support the activities that you engage in your day-to-day life, protect your cells from environmental damage, and repair cellular damage. Proteins in your diet repair injured tissues and promote a healthy immune system. Carbohydrates and fats provide the body with the energy that it needs to carry on with its activities. Vitamins and minerals are distributed to all parts of the body supporting the body processes. Calcium and phosphorus have been shown to play a vital role in keeping bones strong while potassium aids in transmitting nerve signals. When the nutrients work together with the minerals you have a healthy body.

You control your weight
Good nutrition is not only eating the right nutrients. It's also eating the right amount of nutrients. Since you will be eating the same amount of calories that you burn, you don't add weight. Some of the benefits that come with having a small weight include: reduced risk of developing heart diseases, respiratory problems, cancer and other conditions.

Reduced risk of diseases
When you eat a healthy nutrition you not only avoid getting obese, you also avoid many other health conditions. Studies show that having little calcium in your diet results to weak bones. Eating little amounts of fruits and vegetables has been attributed to cancer. When you eat food with a wide variety of nutrients you ensure that you have the right amount of nutrients in your body thus you avoid developing diseases.

Family / 5 Things Dad Can Do To Help With The New Baby by sammytee30(m): 8:42pm On Aug 27, 2016
1. Support mom

Being new parents is tough, but it is even tougher on new moms. Not only did the woman just give birth, but her hormones are probably all out of whack and she typically will also have to breastfeed (or pump breast milk to bottle feed) the new baby as well. All of this can overwhelm a new mother quickly (especially if it's her first child), so as men we must support mom and be there for her every step of the way. This means providing emotional, mental, and physical support. Be sure to talk to and listen to mom, help out with chores around the house, run errands for mom, and be ready to handle some or most of the day-to-day things in the household, including paying bills and watching any other children you may already have. These things will help tremendously with morale, and it will help you feel more useful.


2. Help with feeding the baby

Feeding a new baby is truly special, and it is really a time that a parent can bond with the child. Feeding is not exclusively for mothers though, as some babies can be bottle fed breast milk or formula, and a new dad can help out in this regard. If the baby is exclusively breastfeeding, you can be at her side to help, and doing this will create a bonding experience for the whole family.

Family / Pros And Cons Of Dating And Marriage by sammytee30(m): 8:26pm On Aug 27, 2016
Someone likened dating and marriage to a road trip! The reasoning is obvious; planning and execution are needed to make a success of any venture. While dating it is necessary to be cautious and careful giving considerable thought and attention to where it leads, it is the same with marriage, being well-informed, prepared and aware of the pros and cons is absolutely vital.

Most people planning to get married go through the process of questioning themselves and wondering if they are making the right decision. Dating seems to be a fairly easy option with 'no strings attached' and provides the opportunity to cement the relationship between a couple before they plunge into matrimony. However, dating does not always provide stability in a relationship and can very well leave an individual feeling depressed or forlorn.


Prons And Cons of Dating

Besides giving the opportunity for individuals to build a firm footing in the relationship at hand, it also provides the space to build identities. Dating also provides the time and space for individuals to establish themselves in a career, have economic stability and financial independence and work around family commitments. Being truly ready when saying "I do" is the advice offered by many marriage counselors.

Business / 6 Business Skills To Master As An Entrepreneur by sammytee30(m): 6:01pm On Aug 23, 2016
Find Your Focus.
Entrepreneurs tend to have what I call EADD: Entrepreneurial Attention Deficit Disorder. They are all over the place, they have shiny object syndrome... and that's because they're creative! Entrepreneurs are visionaries. One thing they are often missing, however, is follow-through. If you've got a bakery, you're a business coach and you also make jewelry, where is your passion? Where are you really able to dive deeply in order to see something through to its best outcome? You can certainly build more than one thriving business over your lifetime, but if you're trying to do them all at once, you aren't giving your all to any.

Jump In with both feet.
As entrepreneurs, you have to be willing to go into uncharted territory, to do what others haven't and what they may even be discouraging us from doing. Generally, as humans, we fear change. Our brain is wired to protect us and we get that fight-or-flight response when we encounter something that's out of our comfort zone - even if it's good for us! We have to be willing to do things that feel risky in order to get the big rewards for ourselves and our businesses. Usually the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward will be. Don't just test the water, Jump in with both feet! If you only "sort of" jump off of the diving board, you'll do a belly flop. The support you need will come, but you have to commit to that initial leap of faith.

Don't take "no" for an answer.
When you start planning something really big, you can expect to encounter big resistance - people telling you it will never work and rejecting your ideas. Stick with it! Don't take "no" for an answer. When people tell you no, or tell you that your idea can't be done, take note that the path you started down hit a roadblock but keep your focus and find a new way forward. Maybe your product does need work. Maybe you're talking to the wrong market. Maybe the packaging isn't right. None of these mean that it won't succeed; it simply means that you have to go back to the drawing board on some aspect of your idea to find that "yes."


Forget about perfection.
A lot of business owners get stuck on perfectionism. That is just not how business works. You simply need to move forward, throwing things at the wall to see what sticks and tweaking along the way. Be okay with making mistakes. Otherwise, you will be stuck in the development phase forever and you'll never get your product or service out there. Most successful entrepreneurs have numerous failures before they finally find their ultimate success. The same goes for authors who send out their manuscript to rejection after rejection before finally getting published. Keep moving, and don't give up!

Education / Invest In Early Childhood Education by sammytee30(m): 4:18pm On Aug 18, 2016
It has been found out that a wise investment in early childhood education can impact the society as well the economy of Nigeria in a very positive way. A proper investment in high-quality programs for early education can, in the long run, directly contribute to more employment with better wages if they are creative, lesser crime, better health, reduced poverty, improve race and gender equality as there will be better intellectual achievement among students.

The initial years of a child, before he/she takes admission to a kindergarten, is a critical stage in their life. This is because; those early years influence learning. The Government and Parent should commit to provide whatever support needed to prepare the youngest minds in a way that they will be completely prepared to succeed in their school years later. Investment in early childhood education, thus, makes a lot of sense.

Focus on early learning

From the time, a child is born to the year he/she is 5 years old, education plays an influencing role. Thus, the President has extended support in this direction to provide comprehensive and seamless services for the children. In order to ensure that, Government should planned to request the states for imposing high educational standards across each and every publicly funded early education settings. They also need to plans to develop fresh programs for improving opportunities and getting better outcomes and also, wishes to engage the parents in the learning and development of their children. This in totality will improve the early learning workforce.

Boosting economy

Investing in early childhood education can boost the economy with huge payoffs. In simple words, capable children make up the foundation for a society that's sustainable and prosperous. Keeping this principle in mind, more number of leading economists of the country are joining in the early education bandwagon to support this early childhood education theory of the social scientists and child psychologists. After all, it's them who have been campaigning with this theory that when society makes a wise investment in children, the generation that follows next, pays back the society with a lifetime of responsible citizenship and productivity.

Health / Top 4 Essentials For Quality Sleep In An Energized Life by sammytee30(m): 3:17pm On Aug 16, 2016
One of the prime energy supporters in your life is sleep. Specifically, quality sleep. If it's not quality, the amount of sleep you get isn't as relevant as you might think.

How do you rate your sleep quality? Do you sleep soundly throughout the night, toss and turn, or lay there thinking? Or something other?

Science, medicine, and experience tell us there are mental and physical benefits of good sleep. It boosts your immune system, improves your mood, strengthens your resilience, regulates weight, and in general makes you a healthier person. Everybody wants quality sleep, regardless of how many hours they subscribe to as being a healthy amount of time. This article addresses the quality of the sleep only.

Some nights you don't fall asleep fast because you aren't tired, you're too tired, there are distractions in your brain or house (wherever you are sleeping on a given night), or you have biological issues (sleep apnea, heart arrhythmias, being too hungry or full) that keep you awake. Health issues are something you need to get your doctor's help on, the rest will be addressed here.

What I've come up with from my research is there are things you can do all day to support a sound night's sleep. Furthermore, there are things you can at night that relate specifically to sleep, adding to what you do during the day, so you have quality sleep.

The Top 4 Essentials

1. Create a Bedtime Routine

• a regular schedule of going to bed, and getting up

• foster a dark, quiet, and cool room and sleep in a comfortable bed

• remove distractions

• quit working 90 minutes before bed

• go to bed before you get your second wind; whether you are a lark or owl, there's a "natural" time for you to go to bed.

2. Clear your mind, manage your stress. Meditation, leisurely strolls, reading, and quiet music can help all of that. If you honor the suggestion to quit working at least 90 minutes before bedtime, your mind will have a chance to unwind and get in the groove of sleeping. Take that work ban one step further and initiate a blue-light ban two hours prior to bedtime; TVs, tablets, computers, and smartphones all generate blue light, though there are apps that change the light from blue to more of a yellow so that if you are on your devices near bedtime at least you don't have that bright, blue light that confuses the brain as to the time of day.

3. Don't eat too late or go to bed on an empty or full stomach. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine in the evening too. Foods and nutrients that help you sleep include pumpkin seeds for the zinc which converts the brain chemicals tryptophan into serotonin, and magnesium which helps decrease cortisol, the stress hormone. There are more, but those two keep popping up so I'm passing them along.

4. Energize through the day with quality food, exercise (more than 2 hours before bed), and fresh air/sunshine. Yeah, when you expend energy during the day it paves the way for a night of quality sleep.

Let's cover one more aspect of quality sleep:

The amount of deep and light sleep you get. First, the technical explanation of sleep cycles. A good night's sleep consists of around five or six sleep cycles; each cycle lasts around 1.5 hours, and we need all five stages in order to wake up feeling rested and refreshed. One cycle consists of the following stages:

• Stage 1 - This is when you feel drowsy, relaxed, and hover between being awake and nodding off.

Programming / Things To Consider Before Your App Get Accepted On App Store by sammytee30(m): 8:34pm On Aug 08, 2016
There are over 1.5 million applications on Apple Store. The percentage of apps rejected by Apple every year is more than 55% and all such applications are rejected for some reasons. However, if you are planning to develop a mobile app for your business promotion and selling, make sure you do all the things required for the approval.
The following is the list of things which must be considered so that the application gets approved on iTunes.

Details
Every detail has to be filled. Insufficient information is one of the prominent reasons which lead to rejection. Experts say that every feature of the app must be clearly elaborated and instructions must also be provided if the application is supposed to be used in a specific way. It is also helpful to provide a demo video in order to convey the right way to install and configure.

Bug
The app has to be tested thoroughly because Apple does not accept apps containing any bug or error. According to the reports, more than 8% apps reject due to this reason. In order to make sure that the app is free from potential errors and bugs, you need to sign on a few beta testers. Through beta testing, you can help your application become bug-free.

UI/UX
Apple puts strong emphasis on apps which are appealing, easy to navigate and simple to use. In fact, Apple puts apps with a great user-interface in the featured list of the App Store. Therefore, it is the recommendation of mobile app development experts that the app must not have complex navigation.
