Keep your diary to yourself

admin

I love to read that stationery sales are on the rise. It’s wonderful to imagine people handwriting messages of congratulations, commiseration, thanks, and other personalized notes, thinking of ways to communicate their thoughts and feelings in notes, cards, and letters that may well be treasured and kept indefinitely. Yes, text messages are a quick and efficient way to communicate, but there’s nothing like receiving a personalized letter.

There’s also something incredibly personal about journaling, even when it’s meant to be read only by ourselves in private. If you’re thinking about journaling, mark it as an important part of your journey, as a special commitment you’re making to yourself.

– With that in mind, make sure you buy an attractive laptop, a quality journal that you will enjoy using. The contents are special and as such deserve to be kept in a smart notebook dedicated to the process. Make a regular journaling appointment to write down your thoughts and feelings about what is going on in your life and allow it to become a kind of therapy in its own right.

– Transcribe the events of the day, obviously from our own perspective, it can help us process what is going on, allowing us to first reflect on the fact that we are expressing our own interpretation of each story. Then we can start working on how each situation impacts us. Significant or difficult trades often benefit from a bit of hindsight and consideration during this dedicated time and it’s nice to do it from the comfort and safety of our own home.

– We can write our goals, perhaps on a daily, monthly, or even yearly basis, and then determine the necessary stepping stones by which to measure our progress. That way we make our diary something to account for. And without a doubt it is an excellent way to monitor the traps or setbacks that arise and must be faced and overcome. We can learn from them and see how we find solutions or alternative routes to progress.

– Also remarkable things that inspire us can be treasured in our diary. Memorable phrases we discover, moments, sights or experiences that strike a chord can be stored for future reference. It’s nice to have a place where we know these little gems are safely kept, where they can be revisited whenever desired.

– Record your successes each day. Some people forget what they have actually accomplished and then lose the ability to take credit for those achievements. Introducing the discipline of writing down three things accomplished each day, things that made them proud or joyful, can change a naturally pessimistic or negative outlook. Then it becomes much more uplifting and positive.

– Learn also the bad habit of thinking negatively committing to regularly record even simple successes like shopping, doing housework, or even traveling to a new place. Things that may seem easy or simple to one person may require a lot of effort and be a huge milestone for another. Train yourself to regularly visit your journal and value your successes and positive results each day.

– Some people can use their diary to write a letter someone who has impacted your life. It may be a letter to someone who has passed away and there is now a desire to write an acknowledgment of the different emotions that have been experienced as a result of their being no longer present; gratitude for having known them, pain, loss and grievance for missing them. There may be a difficult relationship that needs to be explored and somehow resolved. A journal can provide a therapeutic outlet toward healing.

– Keep your notebooks and journals in a safe place, in a private place is important. There may be an occasion when you feel inclined to show it to someone special, perhaps as a way of explaining some aspect of yourself, a deeply personal demonstration of the trust you have in that person and in the relationship.

At some point in the future, you may choose to reread your journals, reflect on your life, and really appreciate your path to becoming the person you are today.

Working Capital Loan: Guide to the Different Types of Working Capital Financing for Businesses

admin

Every business, at some point, requires some form of financial assistance. If you find that you simply need more money to finance the day-to-day operations of your business, you may want to apply for a working capital loan. The sooner you can get approved, the better, as this type of loan helps pay for the short-term operational requirements of a business. Businesses that rely on seasonal earnings or cyclical sales tend to need capital to help during periods of reduced activity. Retailers, for example, typically sell more product during the fourth quarter around the holiday season than any other time. Manufacturers have sales that correlate with the needs of the retailers who buy from them.

The best thing about a working capital loan is that the financing is immediate. This type of loan is also easy to obtain for the most part and allows business owners to efficiently cover any gaps in their capital expenditures. It is also a type of debt financing that does not require a capital transaction. This means that you, as the business owner, will continue to maintain full control of your business.

There are a few different types of working capital loans, the most common being “short-term working capital loans.” These provide the company with a lump sum that must be paid back in a shorter period of time, usually within 18 months. You may also want to apply for a working capital line of credit, which will give you access to some funds that you can use when you need it.

Other options besides a working capital loan

Other options include invoice financing and merchant cash advances. With the latter, you get an upfront sum of cash that you are expected to pay back by allowing the lender to take a certain percentage of your company’s credit card sales. It is the most expensive type of capital a company can obtain, but it is also very easy to get approved. If you haven’t established a good credit rating, you may need to consider this.

Regarding the financing of invoices, it is a solution for companies whose working capital depends on the payment of client invoices. If customers have been late, these businesses have a hard time finding the cash they need for day-to-day operations. So, invoice financing helps business owners get access to capital right away.

If you are interested in any type of working capital loan, the best place to look is US Business Funding. They are committed to offering financial solutions to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. There is a 60-second approval process and a 24-hour funding process.

Traditional Mexican and Tex-Mex Barbecue – It’s Not Barbecue But It’s Close, With a Few Twists

admin

Barbecue is extremely popular in many parts of Mexico and the United States. States near the border know barbecue as a delicious meat item, available only on weekends as a special Sunday breakfast meal. Others eat barbecue regularly, enjoying it at any time or any day.

So what exactly is barbecue? It is not “barbacoa” in Spanish, as many believe. In central Mexico, it means goat or lamb meat wrapped in large leaves and roasted over hot coals. In Texas, Mexican ranchers used cattle for this roasting method. Basically, they wrapped the heads in the leaves (later it was aluminum foil) and buried them in the ground with hot coals. Restaurants had even adopted similar methods of cooking these heads (heads).

Over the years, restaurants had to stop burying heads due to health codes. Now, they roast and steam the heads in ovens, which has actually been beneficial for restaurants. A much larger group of fans have liked this type of cooking method.

To cook authentic barbecue at home, you will need a very good relationship with your butcher or slaughterhouse manager. But lucky for you, a cow’s head is often thrown away in many parts of the United States. Your relationship with your butcher will prevent this and allow you to buy the heads at very low prices, or even free in some cases.

So once you’ve secured a good source of cattle, how will you cook this at home? One of the best methods for cooking a cow’s head for barbecue is to steam it or roast it on a large electric turkey roaster. It works perfectly and will produce one of the best barbecues since the “bury in the ground” era.

Follow these techniques for perfect barbecue results. This will make about 2 pounds of meat, or enough to feed 6 to 8 hungry breakfast diners. Now feel free to use these techniques. He will do this because of his love of interesting foods, and barbecue is just one of them.

Ingredients:

A 20- to 25-pound cow’s head, skinned and cleaned
1 cup dry dressing (recipe below)
2 onions, cut in half
18″ heavy duty foil

Rinse the head well with a hose. Cut out the tongue (if it’s still there) and save it for another interesting meal. Sprinkle dry dressing all over head and place, forehead down, in an 18-quart toaster. If it doesn’t fit well, tilt it to fit.

Add 8 cups of water and the onions, then cover. If the lid of the spit does not fit, place two sheets of wide aluminum foil over the top of the spit and seal it.

Turn on the roaster oven to 350 degrees F. and heat for about an hour, until the water comes to a rapid boil. Reduce the heat to 250 degrees and let the head steam for about 12 hours or overnight. The cheek meat should easily come off the bone when done. At this time, remove all the meat and discard the jaw bones. You will then find another large piece of meat inside. Remove that meat and any other meat still attached to the bones.

Trim off any excess fat, gristle, or blackened meat, but don’t over-clean the meat. It’s the little bits of fat that give the barbecue its unique texture.

Chop the meat and put it in a bowl. Moisten it with a little of the cooking liquid to keep it moist. Serve immediately as a filling for hot flour or corn tortillas. Garnish with your choice of items below, or add your own.

Dry Rub Recipe:

3 tablespoons of salt
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion

Mix all the ingredients together.

Garnishes:

lime quarters
chopped onion
fresh cilantro, chopped
your favorite sauce

Why Hollister Models’ Diet and Workout Routine Is So Different Than Yours

admin

Why do Hollister models sporting a fair amount of muscle mass look so different than average bodybuilders in gyms today? Could there be a reason his muscles look more visually impressive than the average weightlifter or is it due to good genetics? Is it possible to be as slim and fit as these models? Many people wonder this, but it’s important to understand why a Hollister Models diet and exercise routine is so radically different than your average muscle-building program.

Strategic muscle gains in all the right places

A muscle building program for a Hollister model is specifically designed to improve certain areas of the body. This is done on purpose so that the overall appearance is visually striking. They focus on addressing both sarcoplasmic muscle growth and myofibrillar hypertrophy for proper muscle mass and density. The areas of the body that receive the most attention are the upper and inner chest, biceps, triceps, delts, and back. Adding muscle size and density to these areas can dramatically improve your appearance. But did you notice that the traps and the lower body were not included?

Why direct leg work is not necessary

Hollister models don’t have huge legs or bulging trapezius muscles. Building your trapezius muscles will hide the appearance of broad, angular shoulders and create a more rounded appearance. A thick upper back and neck are not desirable. It is very important that the upper part of the body looks like a “V”. This is why exercises like squats and deadlifts are typically avoided. Squats and deadlifts do a great job of adding mass to your hips, thighs, glutes, and waist. You do not want excess mass in these areas of the body. Adding muscle to these areas will remove the thin, angular “V” that your upper body carries. Don’t worry; you are not a “bodybuilding heretic” skipping direct legwork. Having too much mass in the lower body can make it difficult for models to put on pants or jeans. Models should be able to look modern, not big and bulky. Well defined legs don’t have to be big. HIIT cardio and a good diet will give you the right size and definition.

But what about the perfect abs?

Of course this happens. You can’t be a handsome model without good abs. Hollister models obviously have this down to a science. His abdominal muscles are not large or bulky, but they are well defined. Planks do a great job of sculpting your midsection without adding bulk, while hanging leg raises develop the “V” between your lower hips and abs. Having a slim and angular waist is extremely important for models. Although planks and hanging leg raises are great ab exercises, did you know that the key to revealing your abs actually has nothing to do with ab exercises? Diet is the most important aspect of great looking abs. I don’t care what your trainer or gym buddy says about the best ab exercises if your diet isn’t under control. As long as you are consuming more calories than you are burning, you will continue to have stubborn body fat that will blur your definition.

Diet is key to full body definition

Now that we’ve established that having great abs is more about diet than anything else, what about the rest of your body? Hollister models have very low body fat levels. This can be very difficult for people to achieve because they tend to underestimate how much food they actually eat in a day. If your goal is to lose fat, everything you put in your mouth counts. Models don’t eat like the big bodybuilders or the average gym rat. If you want to lose weight, you need to cut the crap and top it off with high-intensity interval training. Combining intermittent fasting and HIIT training routines with your muscle-building program will burn off that list of stubborn body fat in no time. Simply eating less with high-intensity interval cardio will help you stay lean and maintain low body fat levels comparable to Hollister models.

Why don’t slightly chubby models make the cut?

This is why Hollister models’ diet and exercise routine are so specific that slightly chubby models will never be considered. Being “photo ready” is crucial for models. That is why they have to stay lean and strong throughout the year. Although it takes a lot more discipline to stay slim and fit, it pays off in the photo shoot.

Great leaders are continuous learners

admin

How do you start your day on the right note? You have a choice. How do you handle a difficult situation? What can you do every day to learn from other leaders?

Imagine you are driving a new car on a cold winter day. Life is great…until a rusty Suburban crashes into your butt. This event happened to me, and once I realized that neither I nor the other driver was hurt, I was faced with a choice; Do I lose my temper and yell at the young woman who decided to hit me from behind her, or do I stop and treat her like a human being?

The young woman apologized and mentioned that she had been sick and was on her way to take a make-up exam at the local university. I noticed that her coat was unbuttoned and I suggested that she button it up because she was quite cold. I wasn’t happy, but I thought I’d respond in a positive way!

The way your character is revealed is not when things are going well; but when the unexpected or unpleasant happens.

The choice is yours! So how will you handle a difficult situation?

Take a deep breath and calmly respond to the situation.

Start with a positive and happy attitude:

My mother-in-law, Pearl Neustein Berger, always had a happy and positive attitude no matter what difficult problems she faced. She was the sixth child of eight children born to Regina and Herman Neustein who came to the United States from the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, Lemberg.

When her husband died of cancer, she was 41 years old with two children to support, ages 5 and 13. She had no education and no job. She decided to take matters into her own hands and found a job in a New York department store, where she stayed for several years.

He worked hard to provide for his children, instilling in them strong moral values. She taught them to study, work hard and help others. She understood the importance of attending religious services every week to help strengthen her character.

She worked hard to make sure her two sons could go to college and graduate school. Shortly after my husband Allan and I got married, my husband had to register for his next semester of graduate study. He was taking night classes since he had a full-time job during the day. He couldn’t get off work to register for classes. I was also working that day.

His mom, Pearl Berger, had the day off from work and said she would enroll him in school. She always had a happy and positive attitude, and she was one of the most caring and honorable people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She was five feet one inch tall and to me she was one of the tallest and strongest women I have ever met. Her caring attitude and her commitment to her family, friends and others made her unforgettable.

What is the best way for you to start your day? Start with a positive attitude and wear a smile!

How you respond and how willing you are to share the credit for accomplishments has a huge impact on the people you lead.

Former Alabama football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant once said that the way to get people to play their hearts out on the football field was to take the blame when things go wrong and give… it’s all it takes for people to win football. games…but to the outside world, Bear Bryant always took the heat.

“If something goes wrong, I did it. If something goes halfway, we did it. If something goes great, you did it. That’s all it takes for people to win football games.” – Coach Bear Bryant

Is this how the great leaders in your life behave? Is this an attitude you could adopt? It could unlock huge potential!

What are 3 ways to improve your leadership skills?

1. Start your day on the right note with a positive happy attitude and a smile.

2. When you have a difficult situation, take a deep breath and calmly respond to the situation. As coach Bear Bryant said, “Be willing to take the heat when things go wrong. When things go well, share the credit. When an individual or team does well, give them credit.”

3. Leaders read every day for 10-15 minutes learning from other leaders to help them solve their problems. Leaders are readers and learners who are constantly evolving, changing, and responding to problems and situations.

How to spot a narcissist

admin

Narcissists can be seductive and charismatic. In fact, a study showed that his pleasant appearance was only penetrable after seven meetings. But you don’t want to fall in love with one. Over time, you can end up feeling ignored, neglected, and unimportant. Typically, a narcissist’s criticism, demands, and emotional unavailability increase, while their confidence and self-esteem decrease. You will try harder, but despite your pleas and efforts, the narcissist seems to disregard your feelings and needs.

narcissistic personality disorder

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) occurs more in men than in women. As described in “Do You Love a Narcissist?” someone with NPD is grandiose (sometimes only in fantasy), lacks empathy, and seeks admiration from others, as indicated by five of these summary characteristics:

1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance and exaggerates achievement and talent.

2. Dreams of unlimited power, success, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.

3. Requires excessive admiration

4. Believes that he or she is special and unique, and can only be understood or should be associated with other special or high-status people (or institutions).

5. Lacks empathy for the feelings and needs of others.

6. Unreasonably expects special and favorable treatment or performance from others

7. Exploits and takes advantage of others to achieve personal ends

8. Envies others or believes they are envious of him or her.

9. Has “an attitude” of arrogance or acts that way

How does a narcissist behave?

Basically, this looks and feels like someone who puts himself above everyone else. However, you may not notice it at first.

SEEKING ADMIRATION

Narcissists often like to talk about themselves and their job is to be a good audience. They may never ask about you, and if you offer something about yourself, the conversation quickly returns to them. You may start to feel invisible, bored, annoyed, or drained. On the other hand, many narcissists are charming, beautiful, talented, or successful. Therefore, you can be fascinated by their good looks, seduction or fabulous stories. Keep in mind that some narcissists who excel at seduction can come across as very interested in you, but that fades over time. Flattery is also a means to seduce you.

GRAND AND SPECIAL FEELING

They not only want to be the center of attention, they also brag about their achievements and try to impress you. When you first meet, you may not know the extent of your hype, but it probably is. If they haven’t yet achieved their goals, they can brag about how they will, or how they should have more recognition or success than they do. They do it because they need constant validation, appreciation and recognition.

Because they like to associate themselves with high status, they may name celebrities or public figures and then meet them. Likewise, they may drive an expensive car and wear designer clothes, brag about their school, and want to go to the best restaurants. This can dazzle you, as can his charm, but it’s really a symptom of his need for an attractive façade to hide the emptiness beneath. A simple, intimate restaurant that you prefer will not meet your standards or give you the public visibility that you seek.

LACK OF EMPATHY

Although some people who are not narcissists lack empathy, this trait is a crucial and defining symptom when combined with a sense of entitlement and exploitation. Notice their expression when describing sad stories or reactions to yours. Do they lack empathy for the difficulties of others and, in particular, for their own needs? I once told a narcissist that I couldn’t travel to meet him due to a back injury. I was surprised by his callous response: “You wouldn’t let a little back pain stop you.”

Simple examples are being rude, not listening, walking in front of you, ordering what to eat, ignoring their boundaries, taking calls when you are talking to them. Admittedly, these are minor things, any one of them on its own may not be significant, but they add up to paint a picture of someone who doesn’t care about you and will behave that way on larger matters. They are not comfortable with vulnerability, their own or that of others, and are emotionally unavailable. Over time, you will notice that they keep you at a distance, because they fear that if you get too close, you will not like what you see.

FEEL ENTITLEMENT

A sense of entitlement reveals how narcissists believe they are the center of the universe. Not only are they special and superior, but they also deserve special treatment. The rules do not apply to them. They may not only want, but expect a plane or cruise ship waiting for them. If they are convicted, it is everyone else’s fault, or the law is wrong. It should also accommodate their needs: store their favorite treats in their car, like what they like, and meet at their convenience on their schedule. A relationship with this person will be painfully one-sided, not a two-way street. Narcissists are interested in getting what they want and making the relationship work for them. Its purpose is to serve your needs and desires.

OPERATE ON OTHERS

You may not notice this trait until you get to know a narcissist better, but if you start to feel used, it may be because you are being exploited. An example is someone who takes credit for his work. A woman (or a man) may feel used for sex, or as a treat if a narcissist shows no interest in her as a person. A man (or woman) may feel used if he gives a narcissist money or provides her services.

Manipulation is a form of covert aggression to influence you to do their bidding. Narcissists are masters at it. For many, dating is an art game. Whether or not it’s an “intimate relationship,” narcissists generally don’t care about the other person, their feelings, wants, or needs. (Read “How to Tell if a Narcissist Loves You.” When relationships feel one-sided, generous people feel exploited. They are exploited because they allow it and don’t set boundaries.

The most serious exploitation involves lying, lighting gas, cheating, and fraud in financial and business dealings. These may include legal violations. You may not see it coming, but a narcissist can brag about how he took advantage of someone he took advantage of. Someone who had an affair may not be a narcissist, but a pattern of lying can be a symptom of various narcissistic traits. Other more obvious signs will appear.

ENVYING OTHERS

Narcissists want to be the first and the best, and they don’t like their competitors. They want what they have. Instead of rejoicing at the successes of others, they are envious. They can put down the person they envy and say that person does not deserve what they have. Narcissistic parents do this with their own children and partners! They project and believe that other people are envious of them. When someone has a good reason to criticize or dislike you, narcissists will dismiss their complaints as envy, because they’re cool and can’t take criticism.

FEELING ARROGANT

Narcissists act superior because deep down they feel inferior. They may look down on other people, classes, ethnic groups, or races. Notice how they treat the people who serve them, like waiters and doormen, while fawning over influential people. Their critical comments are often tinged with disdain and are often rude, attacking the individual and not just complaining about the service. It can manifest in the form of sudden anger or covert hostility. This gives you an idea of ​​how they will treat you when they get to know you better.

They generally believe that they are infallible and that they are always right in any conversation. It is possible that you feel questioned or overwhelmed in a debate or that your words are distorted. Narcissists never take responsibility (unless it’s for a success), rarely apologize, and often blame others for misunderstandings or when things go wrong. Their hostility can take various forms of narcissistic abuse. Listen as they talk about their past relationships. Do they act like the victim and still view you with resentment?

Beware of falling in love with a narcissist

Relationships with narcissists are often painful and can be emotionally and sometimes physically abusive. If you are the son or daughter of a narcissistic parent, you are more likely to fall in love with one, because it feels familiar, like family. Once attached and in love, it is not easy to leave. Divorcing a narcissist can be costly not only financially, but also emotionally frightening and draining. On the other hand, you may feel devastated if you are rejected or replaced.

Side Effects of Frontline Plus for Dogs

admin

Frontline Plus for Dogs is a topical medication that works against tick and flea infestations. Its active ingredients, S-methoprene and fipronil, act to not only kill all existing ticks and fleas, but also work on flea eggs and larvae to ensure they don’t mature into adults. This medication is known to be 100% effective within the first 48 hours of application. Apart from this, Frontline Plus is also preferred by many due to its long lasting effect. Once applied, this medication can be effective for a whole month, even if you give your dog a bath or take him swimming. This is because fipronil accumulates in the animal’s sebaceous glands, from where it is constantly released onto the skin and coat.

Frontline Plus for Dogs is a safe medication and can be used on puppies and kittens as early as two days after birth. Although side effects of this medication are not common, they do occur and are mostly related to the alcohol used as a solvent.

Frontline Plus for Dogs: Side Effects to Watch Out For

If side effects occur after the use of Frontline Plus for Dogs, they will generally be related to skin effects. There are also side effects that have sometimes been seen to be neurological or mental in nature.

Skin related side effects

An immediate reaction your dog might have after the medication is applied is skin irritation. Itching and hair loss at the application site have also been reported in some dogs. Skin irritation usually manifests as redness or discoloration of the skin and itchiness. Most of the time, the side effect is temporary and goes away in a few days. However, if the irritation does not subside or appears to be more severe than before, you should immediately consult your veterinarian.

When skin irritation occurs, your dog will try to scratch the area. This will aggravate the condition. Therefore, keep an eye on your pet and avoid scratching, as scratching will spread the medication to their paws and other areas of their body, which they may lick. Scratching could also cause the area to bleed, which in turn could cause the medication to enter the bloodstream.

neurological side effects

Some of the neurological side effects could include:

  • increased drooling
  • Hypersensitivity to noise, light, or touch
  • Become quiet and appear depressed
  • aggressiveness and anxiety
  • elevated heart rate
  • Breathing or respiratory effects
  • Panting and vomiting have also been seen in some dogs, although this passes quickly.

If you notice any of these symptoms persisting in your pet, consult your veterinarian immediately.

Frontline Plus for Dogs: Effects on Humans and Other Species

Side effects in humans are rare. The most frequently reported effects are skin, mouth and eye irritation. If this occurs, immediately wash the affected area with plenty of clean water. The best way to avoid this effect is to apply Frontline Plus for Dogs just before bedtime and allow the medication to dry completely overnight before cuddling the dog. Do not let your dog sleep in your bed after applying the medication. Although severe reactions are extremely rare, humans may experience vomiting, agitation, and seizures. If such effects occur, you should immediately consult your doctor.

As for its effects on other species, the first thing to remember is not to apply Frontline Plus for Dogs to cats. This medication is available specifically for cats. This medication could be fatal to rabbits and aquatic species, so take care to prevent such species from coming into contact with the medication.
