Ecommerce Career
One of the biggest ecommerce success stories of the last decade is eBay; Internet statistics state $34.2 BILLION in transactions on eBay in 2004! Everyone seems to either have bought or sold something on eBay or knows someone who has. While eBay developers have made the ecommmerce solutions that eBay offers as user-friendly as possible, there are many loopholes an unschooled novice can encounter in eBay trading. There are many people in that category on eBay, so the need for a people skilled in ecommerce consulting has arisen. Learn how this could be a great money-making service that you could offer to them.
Start At The Beginning
Who wouldnt like to sit at home and make money? This natural human desire is what eBay built their huge online sales business upon. But how to get started, what to sell and how to receive the money are usually the most vexing questions to eBay newbies.
In eBay ecommerce consulting, you will find out that most consultants start on eBay as a Trading Assistant. A Trading Assistant is someone who sells other peoples items and is knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the eBay system.
The greatest part about being a Trading Assistant is that it requires little upfront money and the client supplies the inventory. That means there is a minimal financial risk. With a place to store merchandise and a willingness to hustle, a lucrative career can be built.
However, according to many eBay ecommerce consulting staff, there is some knowledge and skills that are needed to build that career.
Five Basic Tools and Skills Needed
A good overall knowledge of eBay: A TA (Trading Assistant) must know all the aspects of eBay, from selling to listing as well as an average prices for items.
There are a great number of companies which offer hosting services and the packages have improved significantly over the years. The companies, however, do not need to fight over the clients as more and more people try their hand at online business every day.
A couple of retailing abilities are helpful: Being a TA involves a small amount of retailing. Skills like merchandising and visual product display are important. To get people interested, you need to display your product in the same way that it would be displayed in a retail store. Photography: In a recent eBay ecommerce consulting study, it was discovered that 85% of the sales came from the picture. So having a good picture of the product is extremely important. People skills: Good interpersonal skills are a definite must for a successful career as an eBay TA. You need to be able to fulfill the needs and desires of a wide variety of people at one time
Get listed as a TA: Being a registered Trading Assistant will enable you to receive certain amenities. Like flyers and press kits. You will also be offered training courses. To become a registered TA with eBay you must have sold at least ten items in the past 90 days, have a feedback score of 100 or higher, and have a positive feedback of 97% or higher.
Building Clients and Commissions
It may be wise to consider ecommerce consulting when starting out because building a client base will be the most important part of becoming successful. In the beginning most of the clients will come from five to ten mile vicinity.
In time, the effort that you put into this small ecommerce niche will begin to snowball. Word of mouth will combine with your reputation for honesty and soon you will have an active client base that leads to a lot of commissions.

- David, November 2012
"... This one may seem a little trivial, but as I work as a Virtual Assistant, I therefore work with my pc on a daily basis for over 10 hours per day! So, you can understand that I needed the ability of being able to adapt 'a program' to my needs which in this case meant being able to change the size and color of the fonts and also the Interface! ... The way I look at it, if you are going to work with a program on a daily basis, you also want to feel at ease with the program. ..."

Destiny's Xur Will Still Be on Xbox 360 & PS3, but with a Limited Inventory
Bungie has released a list of content and events that will no longer be available to Destiny players on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Last-gen players make up only 10 percent of the Destiny player base.
You can find a complete list of changes over on Bungie.net, but here are the main ones Destiny players will care about.
Xûr, Agent of the Nine will continue to appear, but now has much less to sell to players:
- Individual Exotic Weapons and Armor pieces will no longer be sold by Xûr.
- Encrypted Exotic Engrams will be sold. These will decrypt into Year 2 Exotics.
- Encrypted Legacy Engrams will continue to be sold. These will decrypt into Year 1 Exotics.
- Heavy Ammo Synthesis, Three of Coins, Vehicle Upgrades, Motes of Light, and Glass Needles will continue to be sold.
Bungie is also removing certain parts of the game entirely for last-gen consoles:
- Trials of Osiris: The Trials of Osiris weekly Crucible event will no longer be available on Legacy Consoles (last-gen) beginning in August 2016.
Iron Banner: The Iron Banner Crucible event will no longer be available on Legacy Consoles (last-gen) beginning in August 2016.
Live Events: Legacy Consoles (last-gen) will not have access to any Live Events beginning in August 2016. Live Events are limited-time Destiny event that can include specific playlists, Quests, Bounties, or Rewards. Examples of previous Live Events are the Festival of the Lost, Crimson Days, or the Sparrow Racing League. To access Live Events after August 2016, Legacy Console players will need to upgrade from their Legacy Console and purchase Destiny: Rise of Iron once it is released.

The ACCC have confirmed Channel Ten's billionaire shareholders Lachlan Murdoch and Bruce Gordon are launching a takeover bid for the besieged network.
Mr Murdoch and Mr Gordon yesterday signalled their intention to take over the network, seeking a review of a joint bid from the competition regulator.
Mr Murdoch and Mr Gordon, through their respective investment vehicles Illyria and Birketu, have sought an informal review of a joint bid for Ten from The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
The ACCC confirmed that bid yesterday.
Ten was placed in receivership on Monday after going into administration in June and Mr Gordon and Mr Murdoch, along with casino mogul James Packer, are guaranteeing a $30 million finance package that keeps the network running until the end of August.
Previously the billionaire shareholder trio had guaranteed a $200m debt facility for Ten.
Any changes to media law that would allow Mr Murdoch and Mr Gordon to bid for Network Ten are on hold until Parliament resumes on August 8.
The ACCC is conducting a review under its merger process guidelines, with submissions from interested parties due by July 24 and a decision or issues statement due by August 24.

The Thing About Men
Heading this assets list is a top of the line cast that, besides the three personable main characters with terrific voices and acting skills -- husband (Marc Kudisch), wife (Leah Hocking), wife's lover ( Ron Bohmer)-- has a hilarious 2-person Greek chorus donning a dazzling array of costumes and roles (Daniel Reichard, Jennifer Simard). To lend sparkle and pizazz to the quintet of star turns, there's the snazzy staging highlighted by Elaine J. McCarthy's clever projections which substitute for a lot of scenery shifts . Unlike I Love You, this is a real book musical, not a revue and in the best current hit-making tradition, it's adapted from a movie that helped to boost the reputation of film maker Doris Dörrie and is just old enough (1985) to have something of a golden oldie panache. The farcical premise about a cuckolded husband who ends up as the cuckolder's best friend which leads to a menage à trois style happy ending is a quite serviceable idea for a musical.
Sound good? Well, it IS fun and the performances and staging make it worth seeing even though DiPietro's Americanized adaptation of the film adds up to a book with pages that often feel as if they've been put through a hole puncher before being bound. Though the cast handily fits an I Love You're Perfect, Don't Change label, the music and lyrics, while scented with occasional Sondheim touches, can't escape the whiff of the trite and banal. The performers deserve a more pungent score and less credibility stretching characters. Kudish, especially, has a baritone and comic talents that beg for something really rich and satisfying.
I can't tell you how closely this follows the plot of the film since I never saw it, but here's how it plays out in the musical: Tom (Kudisch), a forty something guy at the top of his game as an advertising man, discovers that his wife Lucy (Hocking) is being as untrue to their fifteen-year-old marriage vows as he's been (clarified by the chorus singing "Can this be true? Can she be as unfaithful as you?"). The other man is an East Village artist named Sebastian (Bohmer) who introduces himself as being " very artistic" and "happily holistic.quot; Tom counters this with "I love my suit. I love my tie" which, given the Playbill cover of a man with a tie flapping in front of the lower part of his body makes that item of clothing a metaphor for a relationship in which the lover has turned into a de-sexed breadwinner. To complicate the triangle, Sebasian has lost his roommate and with his art sales few and increasingly far between can't cover the rent of his loft. Tom, who's moved out of his suburban home, takes up the roommate slack and moves into Sebastian's pad under an assumed name. As can only happen in the movies or movie offshoots, the men become emotionally entangled and all three interested parties go through mid-life changes that affect their outlook on life and love. All ends in a tribute to the joys of domestic arrangements that are mildly unconventional but basically pledge allegiance to suburban family values.
With just a small band, well-positioned at the top of one of two iron stair cases at either side of the stage by set designer Richard Hoover, and given the size of the theater and the performers' belting power, the head mikes often seem unnecessary. In fact, the miking and direction at times encourage delivery that turns these fine singers into screamers.
As this is an ensemble piece, with everyone of the five actors good enough to make one hope someone is writing a perfect musical for them as I'm writing these words, there are times when one or the other almost steals the show. Since she gets to play the most characters, Jennifer Simard is the chief scene stealer. Her several appearances as Sebastian's fortune reading neighbor Edith are priceless, as is a scene in which she pops up from a juke box render a country music number.
Perhaps The Thing About Men is best summed up by the " I Can't Have It All" finale. It's got a lot going for it, but it's too homogenized and flawed to have it all.

Entry of CBD oil is likely to change competitions in athletics: welcoming a new surge of medical marijuana
The World Anti-Doping Agency that controls doping issued an updated list of the substances that are not allowed in athletics. Surprisingly, they removed some Cannabis Oils from the list. CBD oil, which is derived from cannabis or hemp plant, has gained many uses in the modern world. Survery shows cbd relieves pain and that it is used in the medicine and cosmetic industry, and now it has been allowed in athletics.

I had the privilege of ministering to some young ladies at an event earlier this year on the subject of Love coming from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 and what it REALLY is, and looks like when applied in each season, whether they were single, courting/engaged, or married. It was an awesome time! Despite my lack of qualification or expertise, The Lord really moved upon those ladies hearts and many were able to take away what they needed from the things God had me to share, so I thought it would be nice to finally post some of the message and prayerfully you will find things to take away from it as well.
Bible Study: The Worthy Woman
First read Proverbs 31:10-31
(click HERE for the King James and Plain English Translations)
I was going to title this "The Worthy WIFE" but even an unmarried woman who possesses these qualities is just as worthy. When you read this chapter you see a model for the qualities Godly women should possess. She may not have them all, but she can definitely take something from most of them because she learns the necessary skills inside AND outside the home, becoming a woman with PURPOSE. By providing for her family and making a living through the examples given, she's teaching other women to live a life pleasing unto the Lord. She gives sons an example of wisdom as they are pursuing wives, who have been prepared to compliment them as they walk in their purpose. She works hard to be a wonderful businesswoman, wife, mother, daughter, friend, niece, or sister. She's not lazy or idle, but someone making a difference in whatever way she can contribute. With the help of Dakes and a few other study references, I want to share 31 Qualities of a worthy woman, so I encourage you to grab your bible (or click the link I gave above) so that we can break this down line upon line:

It took nearly 100 days, but Plano West finally has a new head football coach.
Tyler Soukup, the former offensive coordinator at Hebron, will be the new school athletic director and head football coach after the Plano ISD board voted to approve him on Tuesday night.
Soukup replaces former head coach Scott Smith, who was re-assigned to a new position within the district on Nov. 12. The Wolves, under Smith, went winless the last two seasons. Their last victory came on Sept. 22, 2016 against McKinney.
Click here to view SportsDay's high school football coaching tracker!
"We are excited that our long and extensive search yielded such a capable, passionate and dedicated leader," Plano ISD Athletic Director Gerald Brence said in a statement. "We couldn't be more excited to welcome Tyler Soukup to the Plano ISD coaching team and the Plano West football program."
Soukup will be the third head coach Plano West has had in the last 16 years. Smith, the former head coach at Lake Highlands, took over for longtime head coach Mike Hughes back in 2015. The Wolves went 9-3 in Hughes' last season.
Soukup spent six season coaching at Hebron. Last year, Hebron went 8-5 and averaged 33 points per game.

Naya Rivera, Big Sean engaged! And check out the ring
Some happy news for the Glee family and fans: Naya Rivera is engaged to rapper Big Sean!
The Glee actress, 26, hit the red carpet at Latina magazine's Hollywood Hot List Party Thursday night in Hollywood, where she openly showed off her ring from the Beware rapper, 25. Just Jared was the first to break the news of the couple's engagement, which E! News confirmed.
They officially debuted their relationship back in April at the premiere of the movie 42. Since then, the two have not been shy about tweeting their affection for each other — not surprising, because the couple actually met on Twitter, according to E! News.
"I love girls," Big Sean recently told GQ. "I have a song, Mona Lisa, on my album, that's about, like, having threesomes, because I mean, if I had two Naya Riveras, yea, I would definitely have a threesome. You know what I'm saying?" And that's true love.
The two artists also collaborate together. Big Sean is featured on Rivera's debut single, Sorry. And though she doesn't make an appearance on his latest album, Hall of Fame, he does mention her in his verse in Drake's All Me.

It's Pop in a Box time, yay! It feels like forever since I last opened a pop, even though it was only a month ago, it feels like a lot longer. March has been a bit of a funny month, some days have felt super long but then when I look back it has actually flown by. Spring is a'coming my friends.
This month in my little box of dreams I opened a Gold Chrome Edition Black Panther. I absolutely love the Black Panther movie, it is one of my favourite Marvel films. I just love everything about it, I could happily watch it over and over. In fact, I think I have probably watched this one more than any of the other Marvel films.
There does seem to be a bit of a theme going on at the minute with my Pop in a Boxes, as I have got quite a few gold pops in a row. I don't mind too much though, as it is helping me get a step closer to completing a collection for once. I know that I said it before but the detail on the gold pops is so good. Considering it is only really done with shapes and engraving, I love it. Black Panther is one of my favourites goldies though, he is perfect. The eagle eyed among you will notice my reflection in the Pop photo's above too, doh!
Surprisingly, this is the first Funko that I have from Black Panther franchise. There are just so many I want, I think I would need a new house to store them all in, so I think I need to restrain myself. I do love the NYCC Okoye Pop with the removable wig though, so I am hoping to make an exception just for her. ❤

GM management shake-up continues
New NA manufacturing boss for GM and top-rung 'operational excellence' job created
30 Jun 2014
By TERRY MARTIN
THE senior management overhaul at General Motors has continued with Cathy Clegg named as its new vice-president of North American manufacturing – a position that puts her in charge of more than 74,000 employees across 55 facilities in the US, Canada and Mexico.
Ms Clegg replaces Gerald Johnson, who has moved to a newly created position of 'operational excellence' vice-president, reporting directly to chief executive Mary Barra.
Mr Johnson's new position is part of the steps GM is taking to improve safety in the wake of the ignition switch recall crisis. His role will include overseeing the company's 'Design for Six Sigma' (DFSS) business process, which aims to better understand customer needs and design new products accordingly, with quality and reliability determined before a vehicle's launch.
In April, former Holden boss and now global product development, purchasing and supply chain chief Mark Reuss revealed that every employee across its global engineering, powertrain and product programs would be required to have full DFSS certification by the end of next year.
Left: Vice-president of North American manufacturing Cathy Clegg.
Ms Clegg has worked for GM for more than three decades, most recently serving as vice-president of global manufacturing engineering. She will be replaced in this role by Kurt Wiese, the current executive director of global product development.
GM has issued more than 40 recalls so far this year covering some 20 million vehicles globally (including some called back multiple times).
New safety-related setbacks are also continuing to surface, such as US dealers being asked last week to stop delivering the top-selling Chevrolet Cruze sedan until a potential airbag problem was sorted out.

On occasion Lydia will switch to using a bow, i know it's not related to what i wield as sometimes we both have swords, sometimes we both have bows and sometimes one of us has a sword and the other a bow.
sometimes when i'm killing someone/something me and her have pincer them and when they die i do another attack hitting her or she walks in front of me when i'm using magic or a staff, this gets annoying at times cause i use up energy (especially if it's from a staff) but more importantly it looks bad on me as her wife, blasting her with magic from behind or stabbing her after the enemy is dead (i am aware that spouses are set to essential but it still looks bad)
I am wondering if i can get Lydia to always use her bow since this way she plays a support role. i don't mind having to use a mod to do this.
NOTE: i have all DLC so mod requirements like that are no problem

My clients say
Karolina is a team player and has showed great coaching skills, since she continuously supported the outsourcing team in India by providing guidance, trainings, knowledge transfer and reviewing and improving all SOPs. Karolina has also been a great role model for her peers by being a hard worker and at the same time maintaining a healthy work-life balance, proving her strong time management ability. Nike is a multicultural environment and Karolina managed to adapt and work together well in an international team. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to her teammates and contributed during brainstorming sessions and meetings.
I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Karolina. I had the pleasure of being coached by Karolina helping me to find a job. She has an exceptional expertise in leadership, coaching and motivation. Karolina is dedicated, self-motivated, methodical and very capable. She is a very inspiring human being. As a career coach, Karolina earns my highest recommendation
Karolina has helped me when I was job searching as an expat in The Netherlands, she knew exactly how to make my CV stand out, how to prepare it, what to include and how to write my cover letters. Not only that, together with her I learned how to prioritize my life in order to be in the healthy flow, and use my skills as a unique advantage, I learned how to recognize and express my own needs assertively and I am now able to pursue the career that I always wanted for myself, having the right tools on how to stay on track undistracted. Her vast knowledge in psychology and coaching tools is profound and I could not recommend her more to anyone who is looking for a professional coach in challenging times of transition.
Trainer and Facilitation Coach at Living Improv Academy
I have had only 3 sessions re career and life coaching , but it was enough for me to reevaluate my goals and proceed with opening my own business . Karolina gave me a lot of useful tips and resources re my current issues. I would highly recommend Karolina to anyone , but specifically to all new moms who are struggling with finding themselves after a maternity leave . Thank you very much and good luck !
Karolina is an amazing person, who brings out her positive energy and wears the warmest smile, no matter the condition. She has inspired me and helped me to find my career path while I was trying to start a new life in a foreign country. She is extremely creative and dedicated to her values and that's what makes her expertise in coaching. Always patient and a good listener, she helped to find the answers in most difficult questions I had to deal with. Her passion for making her dreams come true is the one that inspired me the most. And providing with inspiration other people is what makes you successful as a person, as a coach.
Już niejednokrotnie dziękowałam za sesje, które miałam przyjemność odbyć, jednak jeszcze raz chce to zrobić tutaj w postaci opinii. Uważam, ze każdy kto szuka pomocy w rozwinięciu skrzydeł lub po prostu chce ruszyć z miejsca, powinien trafić właśnie do kogoś takiego jak Karolina. Osobiście jestem pod wrażeniem profesjonalizmu i zaangażowania, ogromnej wiedzy oraz wrażliwości dzięki której mogłam w pełni zaufać Karolinie i zacząć się nareszcie spełniać. Moje życie zaczyna nabierać rozmachu a wszystko to dzięki naszemu spotkaniu i wszystkim tym sesjom. Muszę zaznaczyć, ze każda z nich była wyjątkowa i za każdym razem dodawała mi powera. Kwestia czasu i indywidualnego podejścia, ale z cała pewnością taki power wchodzi w krew. Dziękuje za wskazanie drogi, dodanie odwagi i za ukazanie prawdy.
Being mother herself, Karolina understands the struggles that can easily appear to a home staying mother who is trying to go back to work. She is a deep listener, compassionate, warm and focused coach who would cleverly invite you to discover the yet unknown paths from where you can grow, learn and develop new skills to see new possibilities, new solutions. She certainly challenged some of my settled perceptions and consequently disarmed well some of my old habits that were holding me back. Therefore, I would warmly recommend Karolina to anyone who is returning back to the job market and want to see the paths and possibilities in a new light
Karolina is a conscientious and talented coach which combines great professionalism and unique sensitivity in his blend of life and work coaching activities, leading to valuable and concrete results. I found her work being a great inspiration in my professional growth and by exploring her advices I was able to empower my career and professional awareness. I definitely recommend Karolina's sessions if you want to shine in your next life challenges!

Draft decisions within the Miami Dolphins seem to be firmly in control of general manager Chris Grier and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Mike Tannenbaum as the 2018 NFL Draft will mark Grier's third as the Dolphins' GM. Grier's selections in the most recent drafts have hailed from bigger, more well-known programs as only one of their most recent 15 draft selections have come from a non-Power-5 FBS team (Brandon Doughty, Western Kentucky).
There are several items of need for the Dolphins heading into the 2018 season, even after the addition of Josh Sitton on the offensive line, Danny Amendola and Albert Wilson at wide receiver and Robert Quinn along the defensive line. Miami lost Pro Bowl DT Ndamukong Suh during free agency as well as center Mike Pouncey to Los Angeles area teams, and Miami brass may look to target their need there early in the draft. They have had no issue in the past selected multiple players in an area of need in specific draft classes, targeting five offensive skill players in 2016 and four front-seven defensive players in 2017.
Many questions remain entering 2018 for the Dolphins, many centered around the return of quarterback Ryan Tannehill and whether or not this is the last season he'll spend with the franchise. If that is a question on the minds of the Dolphins' front office remains to be seen, but we'll know soon enough come draft time if they've deemed it important enough to at least draft a possible backup to Tannehill. The team also lost receiving threat Jarvis Landry, replacing him with the aforementioned Amendola and Wilson. Using our Wins Above Replacement (WAR – roughly the number of wins a team gets from replacing an off-the-street player with the player of interest) metric as a model, Landry was the lone player drafted by Miami over the past five years worth more than 1.0 WAR per year, leaving a significant hole on the roster upon his departure.
How Have the Dolphins' Draft Classes Stacked Up League Wide 2013-2017?
Overall WAR of drafted players for the Dolphins: 24th
Drafted Players with the Highest WAR (per season):
– Jarvis Landry
Not the prototypical No. 1 receiver, but pretty valuable in doing what he was asked, earning PFF grades in the 80.0s each of his four seasons.
– DeVante Parker
Has struggled with injuries, but played well at times. In 2016, he averaged a respectable 1.60 yards per route run.
– Jay Ajayi
Was fantastic in 2016 (3.5 yards per carry after contact), only to be traded in 2017.
– Vincent Taylor
Graded consistently well in limited playing time in 2017, generating 13 stops and nine total pressures.
– Bobby McCain
Allowed just a 78.4 passer rating into his coverage in 2017.
Drafted Players with the Lowest WAR (per season):
– Dallas Thomas
Had one of the worst seasons we've seen from an interior lineman in 2015, where he surrendered 10 sacks and 10 quarterback hits.
– Jamar Taylor
Has given up 336, 575, 692 and 718 yards into his coverage the last four seasons successively. In 2015, with the Dolphins he allowed a 134.8 rating into his coverage.
– Jamil Douglas
In 2015 – on 529 snaps – he allowed 34 total pressures and struggled as a run-blocker.
– Billy Turner
Earned a 39.2 PFF grade in 2015, the season where he played his most snaps, almost exclusively due to poor run-blocking.
– Jelani Jenkins
Gave up a 136.4 passer rating into his coverage in 2016, and 114.4 for his career.

Since January 2014, I have read every single one of the books our book club has chosen. Except one. The Chancellor has not read all of the books, but he read this one. And he has ribbed me about this one mercilessly. That left me with two choices. Either I could stick to my original principles—I didn't want to read How to Win Friends and Influence People, because our selector had chosen it out of convenience, rather than actual desire (seriously, no. Book club is for fun books, not books your boss is making you read for professional development)—or I could be the Book Club Queen. And as you can tell, I made my choice.
How to Win Friends and Influence People is about basic business principles that you can use to advance and make great connections in your professional life. Published in 1936, Dale Carnegie's book goes over several various ideologies and behavioral practices that help you develop a professional ethos and interact with clients, peers, and superiors. It helps you understand how to interact with others, and it shows you how you can make friendly connections, at the same time.
The Chancellor did not care for this book, and I understand why. This book is repetitive and didactic. It repeats its principles at the beginning and the END of each chapter, and at the end of each section. There are way too many anecdotes, and they become unnecessary. That said, there was a lot of insight as far as interacting with others and understanding how your behavior affects yourself and others. It was a good refresher in reminding me about tactics I can try to build bridges instead of burn them in my professional life. So while the circumstances of reading this book were less than ideal, it was worth the read at least once.

There has been a massive movement recently of women owning their natural beauty. Those aren't stretch marks, they're tiger stripes, freckles are forever, and we shouldn't be measured by our waistlines.
We're more grateful than ever to these 5 celebs who are owning their natural beauty.
1. Demi Lovato
Spearheading the No Makeup Monday campaign on social media, it's no shock that Demi Lovato is at the top of our list of celebs who have embraced their natural beauty. Demi has been pretty open to her fans and the public regarding her struggles with eating disorders and the treatment that she has gone through, stating that she's never been as happy with her body as she is today.
"I feel the most beautiful when I'm naked. Just completely stripped down, completely organic, me."

2. Ashley Graham
In an industry that is overrun by bodies showing no imperfections, it's refreshing to see "plus-size" supermodel Ashley Graham take to the stage to encourage loving oneself completely. Making it look effortless, she is no stranger to shutting down internet trolls that feel the need to comment on her size and shape. In fact, the model has graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, saying that claiming her natural beauty was what got her there.
"I workout. I eat well. I love the skin I'm in. And I'm not ashamed of a few lumps, bumps or cellulite… And you shouldn't be either."

3. Zoe Kravitz
The biracial daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet says that she's no stranger to racial- or body issues, having grown up in a white neighbourhood and feeling the pressure to fit in. She admits to having "resisted her roots" whilst growing up, as well as battling eating disorders and struggling to connect to who she was as a person. These days she's fully embraced her heritage, saying that beauty comes from within.
"Loving yourself is a journey—we're all just trying to figure it out."

4. Chrissy Teigen
The supermodel mom-of-two is no stranger to posting topless photos or casually admitting to stretch-marks on social media. Although stating that she still struggles with body insecurity, Chrissy Teigen says that she is embracing the "mom-bod life", accepting that a changing body is inevitable and hopes that her candidness will help other women to accept their natural bodies as well.
"Please don't shame me I am a strong proud salad making woman just being natural and trying to live my life."

5. Lady Gaga
This might come as surprise for some. The performer most renowned for her crazy style and over-the-top costumes is actually pretty chilled when it comes to her own natural state. Despite stating that she doesn't consider herself "conventionally attractive", she's been a huge advocate for no-makeup selfies and has encouraged her followers to share their own natural beauty.
I believe the one thing that proved her self-confidence was shutting down body-shamers who responded to her au natural photos on social media.
"I've come to a place in my life where I've accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me."

In a society where most of us strive for perfection, it's refreshing to have the chance to acknowledge these 5 celebs who are owning their natural beauty.

Of course, it is impossible not to eat meat, because meat is essential for providing the body with proteins. But I think we should eat less meat if possible, and eat legumes instead because they can also provide proteins.I eat meat 2 to 3 times a week.

All Star Game Week Diary: Portland Thorns vs Houston Dash
It's MLS All Star Game week and G4S is here for all of the action–events both at Providence Park and all around town. One benefit of being in Portland this week is getting to see the Thorns take on the Houston Dash in a 1-0 victory.
Beyond it being a great home victory in front of the home crowd, the game was a record-setter for attendance, the 19,123 fans in Providence Park setting an NWSL record. It was an incredible experience to witness, with the Rose City Riveters leading the stadium in amazingly raucous cheers.
If the rest of the country follows the lead of teams like the Portland Thorns, women's professional soccer has a bright future in this country.

Siwah - Paola Bragado
Selected PHotoESPAÑA 2019 international books
Size: 22 x 18 x 2 cm
Number of pages: 46
Offset and inkjet printing
In the southern hemisphere of our planet heart here exists a fairly common specie of migratory bird who propagates so quickly that only a ruse of nature safeguards from a horrendous nightmare end.
Year they darken the heavens above Occidental Africa continent where they gather for their passage across the ocean to another continent.
Only one-tenth of them complete the crossing. Ninety per cent fall dead from exhaustion into the middle of the sea at the point where Scientists assume that millions of years ago the great land mass broke apart into two separate continents.
The birds beginning to circle frantically seeking their land where it no longer exists. Their instinct preserved over millions of years guiding them to their exhausted to death. Only the most insensitive reach the shore.
"This series is not exactly a series, rather a mix of moments shared with women in different places around the world, women who make a living from dance and their bodies. Women
who fly in search of freedom, their destiny, who fight close to the ground and to the movement of their body, in a continuous flow that makes them go around the world. A new species of migratory bird that fly across seas and oceans before arriving on dry land; some stay on an island, perhaps in Spain, in Ibiza for an indefinite period, others travel as far as Reno, in the ISA, in a Journey that takes them to and from Madrid, to a street that can only be named disillusion.
Siwah is also or perhaps above all, the story of a vision of a traveling woman who is a migratory bird, fling in search of a land that no longer exists, turning into the bodies and customs of other women. In the case, women who half work and half live in a clandestine Arabic dance venue, similar to a brothel. A meeting place. And also, a luxury sex shop on an island, because, as we know, islands are good asopping off points for birds on a short flight; another half-hidden meeting place. In these two places, and in many others (Reno, Mexico City...) there are various encounters, meetings between people, between glances, coincidences meetings on a journey. Ways of looking, living and viewing the world and to search for how to follow the flight of these women, photographer and dancers came together at a point in time. Just to recharge and recuperate, take some photographs, dance some eternal dances and continue on the journey that takes us back the same place: a destination within ourselves where only the most insensitive arrive."

We've all heard that eating too much sugar is bad for us, but we keep eating it despite the health risks. Added sugar is found in the majority of food at the grocery store, which is part of the reason children and adolescents obtain 16 percent of their daily calories from added sugar. Recently, the American Heart Association released a statement advising that they should be consuming no more than 25 grams of added sugar daily.
I realize plenty of you are skeptical about new recommendations like this one. For decades you may have been avoiding fat because the experts told you to, only to recently hear them say fat isn't really the enemy. Mostly, if you're reading articles like mine, you want a few quick tips to healthier living you can put to daily use. Like me, you've probably spent a lot of time sifting through articles that simply haven't helped you much (if any at all).
Sure, there's plenty of flawed and limited research, but we can't ignore all the new information out there. There's no denying that sugar provides our bodies with zero essential nutrients.
Here's why, whenever possible, we should all avoid added sugar and stick with the healthier options.
Added sugar disrupts our bodies' natural order.
Sugar disrupts or causes insulin resistance, sapping our energy and leaving us feeling less than full. That's why we can drink several cans of Coke but then still eat a full meal. And those calories from added sugar get deposited as fat in all the wrong places. On top of that, all the processed foods we eat with added sugar (like snack bars, ice cream or even cereal) take away from the beneficial nutrients we could be getting from "real food."
Dr. Miriam Vos, lead author of the AHA study, recommends eating no more than 6 teaspoons of added sugar a day. The motivation, perhaps, has been lacking up until now. But with children and adults less active and more sedentary than ever before, diet has become even more important in maintaining a person's health. If we're not burning off all that added sugar, our body can't make use of it immediately, and that's why so much of it gets turned into fat.
Old habits stick with us.
Children who eat lots of sugar tend to eat fewer fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products that are good for their heart health, according to Vos.
Researchers like Vos often focus on children because it is so important to teach healthy habits as early as possible. I don't blame my parents for my choosing to binge eat or stress eat many times over the years. I was often so busy playing sports as a kid that it didn't really matter what I ate, anyway. Pizza, burgers, french fries or candy bars would all get burned off exercising later-but when the exercise became less frequent, my metabolism slowed. Pretty quickly, I started gaining weight and was understandably unhappy about this. What did I do to feel better? I ate, ate and ate.
It's taken me years to teach myself to not turn to food for solace. I have other ways of coping now-I exercise, discuss my problems, or distract myself with work or projects around the house. Still, though, every now and then, my first instinct is to eat anything in sight.
New habits can be learned, but it's a whole lot easier if kids are taught at an early age that food can't fix all our problems. If they learn to associate fruits, vegetables and well-balanced meals with a good mood and a productive day, that's a habit that will serve them well in life.
A real connection between sugar and weight gain exists in young adulthood and beyond.
Here is a chart from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that shows how many calories Americans consume from added sugar by age group. Here is another chart taken from the CDC used in a Washington Post article about weight gain by age group. Now, I can't prove one definitely causes the other, but the numbers seem to coincide on several levels. Calories from added sugar (for men and women) are highest between ages 20 and 39. They're slightly lower (but still far too high) from ages 40-59. Men go from an average of 14.1 percent of calories from added sugar to 12.5 percent. Women go from 14.5 percent to 12 percent. There's not a significant drop-off until individuals are 60 years and over.
Why does this matter?
Because starting in our 20s, activity levels begin to decrease and our metabolism starts slowing down naturally. However, our cravings seem to get worse, and we turn to processed foods high in added sugar to survive the workweek. As a result, we start to gain weight, and this weight peaks in our 50s. If it hasn't already killed us, only in our 60s does our weight begin to go down again-which is the same time added sugar consumption starts to fall.
Sure, there are plenty of other reasons for this and tons of mitigating factors, but rest assured, added sugar is not your friend. Do yourself and your family a favor by decreasing added sugar consumption.

In Germany, unnecessary diagnoses and operations are carried out. Superfluous medical services are associated with burdens and dangers for patients. They also waste valuable resources in the health care system that are lacking for the necessary treatment. According to recent research by the Bertelsmann Stiftung, many causes of overuse are responsible. Our current SPOTLIGHT Healthcare summarizes the most important findings.
