Hoping this week goes better than last week. The terribleness of it all peaked on Saturday, when I was rudely checking my phone at the funeral of someone who died in a very sudden, tragic way, because my dad was having emergency surgery >1000 miles away.
CPR News tested the air quality at the Central 70 Cover Park to see whether it reduced pollution.
The number one secret of dog training: It is just creating a shared language between you and your pup so that they can be successful.
Are they doing something you don't want them to? Teach them what you want them to do in that scenario instead. For instance, my dog used to sprint towards the road when he wanted to cross. I taught him to sit instead, and then we crossed whenever he asked by sitting to reinforce the much safer behavior.
The point is to teach them how to tell you what they want/need in healthy ways, and actually listen when they do what you taught them. Another example, give them a way to tell you they need to go outside (bells they can ring is a good option) and then let them out when they ask in the way you taught them.
The study marks the mid-way point in the nation's largest basic income study.
The Humane Society has some suggestions for how to protect feral cat colonies from coyotes. Not sure if you've already tried all of these or if they would even work for your location, but it seems worth considering.
Trips are actually now $2.50, a dollar more than they were at launch, and local resident David Bunn quips, “you can't drive a Pinto for that.”
That...was not how I interpreted the authors position.
What did you read that makes you think they specifically want Jesus to be taught in schools?
In a culture devoid of moral education, generations are growing up in a morally inarticulate, self-referential world.
I haven't made any this year, but I have in the past. My favorite flavor I've made is a chai ice cream (just brew the tea in the ice cream base).
Some researchers say Americans should eat double or triple the protein recommended by government guidelines.
Native plants crowded onto postage-stamp-size plots have been delivering environmental benefits around the world — and, increasingly, in the U.S.
I volunteered to moonlight in a second role at my day job. This week is the first time that the workload has been getting to me. I guess it's just going to be a stressful couple of weeks and then I'll get through it.
I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. It may take time and it may be a tough road, but you can absolutely dig yourself out of this hole.
I'd recommend focusing on one loan at a time, if the whole makes you feel overwhelmed. While I'm not the biggest fan, Dave Ramsey suggests paying loans off using something called the snowball method. I think this can help you, because it will allow you to have wins and see progress faster. Since it sounds like you are struggling with motivation and seeing progress, this method will be the most useful. Small, achievable goals are important!
Basically, you pay the minimums on all of your current loans. Then you pay any extra on your loan with the lowest balance. Once that is knocked out, you take what you were paying for the first loan (minimum payment plus the extra) and put it towards your second smallest loan. A secondary benefit with this approach is that you will reduce your required cash outflow if you do end up losing your job. Good luck!
At the end of the day, you know deep inside what the right choice for you is. The unknown is scary, but the future is always unknown, no matter what you choose.
I went the route of going back to school for a fresh start, after my first career attempt didn't work out. It was absolutely the right choice. I went from feeling stuck in a bad situation and absolutely miserable, to a career that allows me to live my best life and I am infinitely more happy.
I didn't know what was going to come out of the change. I knew I couldn't keep doing what I was doing. When I went back to school, I did as many different internships as I could, since I knew what I didn't want to do, but I didn't know what I wanted to do anymore. I ended up falling into a career field I never even knew existed, but matches up to my strengths perfectly. Bonus points for being paid more than I ever imagined I could make (I basically tripled my income from my old job when I started my current one).
Life's short. Change is constant, no matter what you choose. Do what makes you happy, even if it's scary. We all end up as worm food, do you want to live your life as a series of "What ifs?" Or do you want to take a chance and try new things?
I'm here for the people. I don't want to be a part of a community that is bots talking with bots, which is what I felt like places like Reddit had become. When I found Beehaw, it was a breath of fresh air to actually see intelligent conversations between real people. I'd hate to see that be lost.
Ancient spice processing in Southeast Asia reveals an early trade of ingredients for dishes that Westerners often call “curry”
I spent so much time at our neighborhood pool as a kid. We would get dropped off by a parent and then they'd come pick us up either around dinner time or when a thunderstorm rolled in. Other days, we would go after dinner and stay until it got dark and the pool would close.
I just looked it up, since my hometown had budget issues a few years ago, and it is now owned by the YMCA.
“If the public pool isn’t available and open, you don’t swim.”
For ages. Sometimes they have pretty good movies for free.
It sounds like a platform private companies can use to develop instantaneous peer-to-peer money transfer, as opposed to a true service run by the feds. Either way, the fact that it would allow someone to make a direct payment to another person's bank account anywhere would be a huge upgrade.
The U.S. Federal Reserve has launched a long-awaited service which will aim to modernize the country's payment system by eventually allowing everyday Americans to send and receive funds in seconds, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the central bank announced on Thursday.
Looks like the US is finally catching up to the rest of the world for transferring money
I'm the opposite. I saw it as white and gold, saw a picture of it in better lighting, and now can only see it as blue and black
Earthship homes are also an alternative that are pretty decent at remaining a stable temperature. Plus, I think they look pretty cool!
When central banks raise interest rates, mortgage borrowers can expect higher monthly repayments, while savers are supposed to be rewarded with bigger returns on their deposits. Or so the theory goes.
I was walking my dog earlier this week and came across a cat that had most likely been killed by a coyote. It was incredibly upsetting to see and completely ruined my day. That cat did not need to live it's last moments in fear and fighting for its life, if only it's owners had kept it inside/supervised it when outside.
On a better note. I once saw a woman walking down the street and her cat was just following her along (no leash). It was super cute and you could definitely tell they had a fantastic bond. More cat owners should be like that lady.
French company Airseas has developed the Seawing, a kite to help propel cargo ships, which it says could cut their carbon emissions by an average of 20%.
Hmmm. It almost like medical treatment decisions should be handled between the patient and doctor, not by politicians.
