Be your own boss


One way to earn a living without being bossed around is to be your own boss. And when many companies are on the verge of closing shop and unemployment is on the rise, the food industry remains one of the more formidable markets one can invest in for the simple reason that food is a basic need.

People will always need to eat and with the pace of life picking up, and the projected growth in population forecast , there has never been a better time to start. There is definitely an opportunity for an independent fast food retailer to grab a slice of the profits as many people are fed up of the traditional fast food franchises.

I would definitely avoid going down the traditional route of selling juicy burgers, fried chicken, hot dogs, fries, milk shakes & soft drinks. This segment of the market is already well catered for and you will find it difficult to improve on the existing outlets already available. There has also recently been a backlash over fast food outlets selling unhealthy fried food.

Going into the food business entails careful consideration of human resource training, marketing, purchasing, site selection and other. So get a good and trusted franchiser to provide you with all the support you need to gear for success.

* Add some lift Position band so it sits a bit forward on your haed, then use a root-lifting spray at the crown,behind the band, to add height.

HEALTHY SKIN SENSE


Unfortunately for sun lovers like you, it's true: all you have to do is look at the leathery, wrinkled skin of farmers or fishermen (who spend lots of time in the sun) for proof. Believe it or not, doctors believe that if not for the sun's UV rays, our skin would stay relatively smooth till we're 80 years old! in fact, 90% of the skin changes that we start noticing at 30-40 years old can be blamed on sun exposure, or "photo aging". Just one bad sunburn can result in wrinkles later on. As if wrinkling weren't bad enough, the sun can cause something far scarier: Skin Cancer. And with the protective ozone layer increasingly being damaged, This threat becomes worse all the time. Fair-skinned people are the most vulnerable to the sun, but even those with darker skin are at risk. But it's never too late to save your skin! You can still keep new wrinkles away and help protect yourself from skin cancer by staying away from the sun, even when it's not sunny - harmful UV light can still go to the beach, but stay under umbrellas or wear wide-brimmed hats or baseball caps. And don't forget to use sunglasses with UVA/UVB protection; it protects the delicate skin in the eye area from the sun and keeps you from squinting ( which also causes wrinkle). Sure, this sounds like a hassle, but it'll be worth it when you get older and still have great skin!

How Does My Overall Health Affect My Skin?
You can't have healthy skin without a healthy body. Your diet, lifestyle, work stress, exercise...all of them play a role in how your skin looks. Because your skin is what lies between your internal bodily organs and the external environment, you have to help it out by protecting it from the harsh elements it's constantly bombarded with. At the same time, your skin is a reflection of how healthy you are inside. Haven't you noticed that when someone is feeling sick, their skin shows it? In traditional Chinese medicine, the doctor of the skin sround the eyes is supposed to indicate the condition of specific organs inside the body. This is why the Chinese medicine men would often treat skin problems by healing these organs. So the next time your skin looks unhealthy, it might be worthwhile going to your doctor for a check-up, just in case.

GET TO KNOW YOUR BABY

Emotional Barriers

I sometimes grapple with my inability to enjoy my baby.It's not just the time,i notice i tend to focus on her physical needs; Has she had her vitamins? Is she eating enough? Strange that I am more able to 'let go" and be silly with nephews and nieces. Why?





*Parent role model. Sometime we adapt the parenting styles of your parents.My mom showed her concern through "service' and taking care of your needs. She had a serious personality and rarely joked around. This was my "template" for the responsible mom." my sister-in law noticed sometimes I looked angry when I was trying to feed my daughter.this was not my intention,but maybe my intense expression could've made my baby (normally a hearty eater) a little fussier than usual.The lesson-stop taking things so seriously!

*Embrace the mess. Babies can be messy.Accept it. live with it. That's what yayas and wet wipes are for. The most important thing is enjoying the company, and remembering that years from now,we will miss the chocolate kisses the sticky hugs,and the "surprise" of finding clay and toy.dolls and our pillows.



*Different personality.You and your baby my have different personalities and definitions of fun.But we need to follow our child's lead,Though I am the type who likes to stay put,since my baby liked to crawl,then crawl I must. that is what she loves, and though I don't always enjoy going under the table,I will always cherish the sound of her Luther.
8physically tired. since we work all day and sometimes have to do housework,it is understandable that we are exhausted and may not have the energy to play and have fun. Take those 20 minutes of relaxation along shower, or sometime alone in the room.but giving yourself permission to rest,you cam plunge into playtime with a lighter heart and renewed energy levels.

THE FOUNDATION OF LEARNING




I understand the homework struggle very well: i had to find new methods of helping my daughter (now 5 years old) who had slight dyslexia.Reading is such an important skill(virtually all subjects have textbooks,and the reading load only gets heavier in high school and college). I went through several tutors,and transferred my daughter from one school to another. Everything she learned she put into her reading clinic for those with learning disabilities or reading problems.

The center also tries to make reading less intimidating.Most book are picture heavy and are displayed on low shelves,encouraging young students(preschool to grade school) to browse.From this initial interest of familiarity with books,the center then trains them to develop concept about print,fluency in decoding printed page,vocabulary development,critical thinking.Subjects such as Math and Science are also integrated in the lessons.




One of the best tips Bookgrove gives parents is to focus on the foundation."We don't skip to B if the child hasn't mastered A yet,",adding that this is done also in order for the child to write letter on paper and fuel his or her motor skill.Vocabulary is also a very important since if they can't understand the concept if they don't understand the word.

Reading must also be interactive in order to be meaningful.In Bookgrove,for example,coaches ask students questions,making them think of what will happen next to create suspense.Parent can do this when reviewing chapters in a book"What do you think were the effects of Rizal's death on the revolution? What would you have done if you were living ta that time?"
