5 New Year’s Resolutions to Improve Health In 2020

Leave a comment

5 New Year’s Resolutions to Improve Health in 2020 is presented as another opportunity to make a difference for a better future.

Are you concerned with your health?  Do you want to ensure you can see your children or grandchildren grow up?  If so, take your health concerns and transform them into goals.  In fact, make this your year to improve your health.  If you want to improve your health, continue reading on for a few good New Year’s resolutions. 

1 – Stop Smoking

Despite the dangers, many Americans smoke.  If you are a smoker and want to improve your health, the first step is getting rid of the cigarettes.  Unfortunately, this isn’t as easy as it sounds.  Many smokers are addicted to nicotine.  Not only that, but smoking becomes a habit.  Do you smoke in the car?  If so, you may literally feel lost without having one hand attached to a cigarette.

If you want to improve your health and stop smoking, know it will not happen overnight.  That is why stop smoking is an excellent New Year’s resolution because you have all year to reach your goal.  Although you may get lucky and stop smoking right away, many smokers have to try multiple times.  If you do, don’t give up.  Rely on support from friends, family, and your primary care physician.  If you must, rely on stop-smoking tools, such as nicotine gum and support groups, to end your addiction and improve your health.

2 – Lose Weight

Obesity is a big problem in the United States.  If you are obese, your health is at risk.  Those who are severely obese put themselves at risk for early death.  Diabetes and asthma have also been linked to obesity.  So, if you are overweight and want to improve your health, the first step is losing weight.  Unfortunately, saying you want to lose weight is a lot easier than actually doing it.

If your New Year’s resolution is to lose weight, focus on the smaller picture.  Examine the components of losing weight, including diet and exercise.  Instead of focusing on losing weight, focus on reducing junk foods from your diet, and exercising.  Soon, the rest will fall into place.

3 – Eat Healthy

As previously stated, healthy eating is an essential component of losing weight.  Even if you do not need to lose weight, you should still eat healthily.  Yes, it is okay to eat a package of cookies if you will burn off the calories moving around at work, but why consume junk food?  Only do so on occasion.  If you are genuinely looking to improve your health by ridding your body of unnatural chemicals and additives, make the switch to organic foods.

Whether you opt for healthy eating to lose weight or just to improve your overall health, be careful when shopping.  Organic foods are costly, but you can save money by shopping at specialty food stores, looking for sales, or using coupons.  If you don’t want to eat organic, examine calories and fat.  You do not have to purchase diet foods to eat healthily. 

4 – Exercise More

In addition to eating healthy, exercise is another vital component of weight loss.  As with healthy eating, it is recommended even if you do not need to lose weight. Activity not only results in a thin body but a fit body.  If you don’t exercise or only do so on occasion, make it your New Year’s resolution.  Whether you take daily walks outside or head to the gym, make this your year to get fit and be in shape.

Private School's Accountability

Who Holds the Schools Accountable?

Leave a comment

Perhaps the most significant difference between public and private schools in the system of accountability.  Children know all about being held accountable.  Not long after they leave behind infancy, children learn that virtually everybody is going to keep them responsible for something or another in almost every situation they will be in with children.  And they become little experts at meeting the expectations of adults, even if it’s just surface fulfillment of the requirements and not genuine accountability.

But the truth is that all of us are held accountable to fulfill our responsibilities.  Jobs hold employees accountable.  In marriage, the husband and wives hold each other accountable to live up to the marriage vows.  Even businesses are held responsible by customers.  If the company fails to live up to the expectation of the customers, they will go out of business and not make any money anymore.

Responsibility and accountability are the core of what makes us tick as people, and by extension, what makes institutions work the way they are supposed to work to serve the needs of the public.  Accountability means that someone somewhere is going to judge you on your performance.  If you are performing well, a performance-based reward system then rewards.  If you are not performing well, you are punished, corrected, or dismissed.  It’s not a hard system to understand, and your children understand it in depth.

In school, children are held accountable every day by adults and teachers.  Not only do they have to live up to behavior expectations in class, but they must also participate in lessons, be part of experience related activities and do homework and take tests and get good grades to be rewarded with a high-grade average to take on to the next class/degree and eventually to college. 

But who holds the schools accountable to do the jobs they are required to do?  That is the fundamental difference between public and private schools.  Private schools are entirely held responsible by the parents of the children who attend that school.  Now in every private school, there is an internal system and structure to execute accountability daily in the form of the school administration and the principle.  But ultimately, if the school is not living up to the promises it makes to the parents who pay what are often high fees for that education for their children, those parents can pull their kids out and go elsewhere.

So a private school lives under the laws of the marketplace, which keeps other businesses working correctly.  Parents can fire them, so it pays for them to listen to parents, to keep parents informed, and to make sure that at the end of the semester, the quality of education and the educational experience the kids had was top notch.

Public schools, on the other hand, are not held accountable by parents.  They are held responsible by the government.  And as we all know from watching how well our politicians behave, the government is pretty awful at holding anybody accountable for anything.  So the public school systems and the teachers with administrators in schools in the local town very quickly, instinctively learn how to “just get by” on satisfying government requirements, and those requirements have precious little to do with the educational experience of your child or of your expectations as parents.

Now the public schools will put on a pretty good show that they want the input of parents and that they want to be accountable to parents.  That is because you, as a parent, have two very potent weapons at your disposal that can hurt the school if they don’t convince you that they are living up to expectations.  You can vote and use politics to make the government live up to its job.  Or you can take your child out of the public schools and take them to a school that will be responsive to your needs and expectations.

One system is bureaucratic and based on government oversight, which seldom works.  The other is based on the laws of the marketplace and driven by satisfying consumer needs.  That system is the private school system, and the consumer is you and your child.  And while the private school route is more expensive, by patronizing the method that works and that will be ultimately accountable to you, you are voting that the public system doesn’t work, so maybe someday the government will fix it.  But we aren’t holding our breath for that.

When Fear is a Part of Life at School

Leave a comment

When fear is a part of life at School, it creates internal muscular and emotional tensions. You can probably think back on some of your favorite classes when you were growing up and going to school.  And when you think again fondly on that class, how would you describe the atmosphere of the class and the motivation system that was used by the school and by the administration to get you to achieve and excel? The odds are if that class is one you remember as inspirational and one of the favorite times you had in school, the relationship with the teacher was relaxed, creative, and affectionate.  And the one emotion that you no doubt never felt in that classroom was fear.

We brought this topic up with that illustration because it is incredible how often fear is the center of the culture at many schools where the objective is to inspire students to learn.  This is particularly true in public schools.  The culture of public schools very often becomes overwhelmed with the need for order and the strict stipulations for student attendance and tracking put on the school by state regulations.  The outcome is that the administration of the school often lives in fear of failing in one of these many state-level requirements for fear of losing funding or some other form of punishment.  And that fear is passed along to the students.

Fear is also a culture of a school that is overcrowded.  The simple fact is that even if the teacher of a particular course is creative and loves being with students and filling their minds with the joy of learning if you overwhelm that teacher with more students than he or she should reasonably have in class, the emphasis of the classroom shifts from learning to keeping order.  And when that change of priority takes place, fear is the primary tool used to maintain order so the information can be presented to the students. 

Sadly, if students are in that room after being intimidated and threatened, even the best of the student will close his or her mind to learning.  If you are a parent and you sit in on a class to see how well the craft of teaching is carried out, you come away with the misperception that the course was well run if the students sit quietly staring forward while the teacher lays out bland information for them to absorb and write down.  If young people sit quietly and do not interact with the teacher, they are doing so out of fear.  And fear is one of the worst teaching tools there is.

Private schools have the opportunity to create a better learning environment for their students because traditionally, private schools have a lower teacher to student ratio, so interaction is encouraged, and fear is not needed to maintain order in the classroom.  But even then, to foster an atmosphere of discussion and learning, you must have teachers who are talented at leading group discussions, who write their curriculum’s to include interaction as a teaching tool and who are not afraid of the students.

Fear goes two ways in a school situation.  If the student body is frightening to each other, very often, they are also scary to the teachers.  This is the setting where gangs develop in school cultures or where the culture of student life deteriorates to where troubled students can impose fear on others.  In this day and age of school shootings and other violence-related campus outbreaks, if the school allows that kind of culture to grow up, it is challenging to get it under control.  And just as fear from the top-down destroys the love of learning, fear from the student body up destroys a teacher’s ability to communicate his or her love of the subject matter openly and leads to dull and uninteresting classrooms, which only makes things worse.

As with controlling fear due to overcrowding, private schools also have the edge in managing anxiety coming from the student body.  Private schools are not required to keep any students that they don’t feel fit the culture of the school.  Each parent and student sign contracts agreeing not to become disruptive in action, dress, or attitude and what is disturbing is left to the school to determine.  So private schools can remove students who are a threat, and with their removal, the fear of harm goes as well.

Security Barriers

The Writing Is On The Wall

Leave a comment

The Writing Is On The Wall

Why are the Democrats in American politics so Presumptuous and Prejudiced against genuine Security Barrier at the Southern USA Border?

Since losing to the Republicans, the Democrats have become increasingly prejudiced and presumptuous against sound reasoning and logic.

Proverbs 6:16-19 New International Version (NIV)

“There are six things the Lord hates,

seven that are detestable to him:

> haughty eyes,

> a lying tongue,

> hands that shed innocent blood,

> a heart that devises wicked schemes,

> feet that are quick to rush into evil,

> a false witness who pours out lies

> and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.”

Security barriers really do work

Security barriers have been used as a preventative barrier to the willful, misled, and misguided minds of people that willfully want to enter an area that is prohibited by the law of the land.

Preventative barriers are everywhere in every society in the world. Animals need to be constrained and guided, but why do thinking human beings with a free will need to be controlled by barriers?

Before you presumptuously answer the above question, look around your own domain first, the living areas, property, motor vehicles and count all the security measures and barriers that are in place at your home, that stops entry, use or taking it away without the owner’s permission.

The motor vehicle has it, some cars have 7-8 locks, doors, windows, boot, bonnet, power, start and security alarms.

Why do you need to secure property items that rightfully belongs to you? Do material things grow legs and they just walk out of your property? Or have some willful minds on legs, decided beforehand to seek out material wealth that belongs to someone else? And consciously enter and take property that belongs to someone else?

Yes, the latter is right, wilful minds that have disconnected themselves from a heart and mind unity with honesty and integrity. The human moral condition can be in a state of depravity, void of integrity from a very early age, also in the worst-case scenario be coarsened and encouraged by their parents to lie, cheat and steal from others, in order to survive in a dog eat dog environments, where the law of the jungle is the only authority. Many people do live in the ancient Natural State, the pre-government rule of law in a society.

There is also the anarchist’s worldview, and the atheist’s world view, that does not accept the Ten Commandments received by Moses over 3450 years ago.

The Writing Is On The Wall.

BARRIERS / WALLS ARE NOT IMMORAL

Barriers and walls are used for a legitimate moral reason, with morally responsible purpose. If a barrier can stop drug smugglers, people trafficking, and other illegal activity crossing the national borders, then it is a lie to say that a barrier/wall is immoral.

Walls are mentioned 58 times in the Bible, walls, and barriers were used because they have a preventative effect on lawbreakers. Barriers restrict individual wilful actors, from getting their illegal activities through.

American petty politics between the Democrats and the Republicans have fallen to a ridicules nonsense level. Yet, the American politicians and the voting public that are engaged in their emotional battle are utterly blind to the spirit of truth.

Revelation 21:12-27 Names of God Bible.

“It had a large, high wall with 12 gates. Twelve angels were at the gates. The names of the 12 tribes of Israel were written on the gates. There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. The wall of the city had 12 foundations. The 12 names of the 12 apostles of the lamb were written on them.”

Happy New Year 2019

Leave a comment

Happy New Year 2019, you may be at crossroads, like so many other people indecisive on a new year plan.
If so, your New Year’s 2019 plan to get you organized. The organization is a problem that many have and want to fix. What better time to get organized and start a fresh new year plan than the New Year 2019?
Taking the step of declaring an organization as your New Year’s resolution is a huge step. You should be proud.
If you want to increase your pride and see success, you need to do more than just say “I want to get organized,” you need to make it happen. So, how you do transform your New Year’s resolution from a goal into a reality?
Do you want to de-clutter your bedroom, clean out your car, or organize your office?
Create a to-do list. The basics of an organization start at the space where you spend most time at.

Determine what areas you want to organize

This is important as an organization is difficult if you do not have a plan of attack. You are more likely to see success when you have a guide to follow. Start that guide by determining which areas of your life you want to organize. Do you want to de-clutter your bedroom, clean out your car, or organize your office?
Create a to-do list. As previously stated, being organized involves a lot more than targeting just one room. Some want to do their whole house, office, and car. If you are one of those individuals, create a to-do list. This will increase your chances of success. Having a guide to follow is essential. To make your to-do list, start with the headings mentioned above. Write down each area of your home you want to clean, as well as your car, office, garage, pool house, and so forth.
Create a plan of action. The first step in becoming organized is to rid yourself of clutter. You need to find an appropriate place for items. For example, eliminate that stack of files on your office desk by purchasing a filing cabinet. In your home, you may need to get rid of things or move items around, like into storage. For your home, be sure to have a clear plan in place, as this is the hardest place to get organized. Have a pile for things you want to throw away, donate, or sell.

Expand your organization to-list.

As previously stated, you should create a bunch of headings for your to-do list. For example, your child’s bedroom or playroom. Before setting foot inside the room to clean and organize, know what you need to do. This keeps a project that should only take two days from turning into a two-week project. Your detailed list can include sorting your child’s clothes and donating those that no longer fit, collecting old toys to sell or give, and so forth.
Take it one step at a time. As mentioned above, being organized is a huge, but essential task. If you want to organize and de-clutter your entire home, it could take you months. If you try to rush the process, you will get overwhelmed and see poor results. Does it take a month for you to clean out and organize your garage? If so, that is fine as long as it gets done. When dealing with your entire house, start with one room and work your way out. If using a to-do list, cross each task off once you finish.

Share your New Year’s resolution with others.

Organizing your home and keeping it organized is not something that can be done alone. Not only share your New Year’s resolution with others in your home or office but share a few tips on how they can help. For example, is your husband known for tossing mail off to the side? Buy a desktop sorter and encourage him to use it. Do you have a small child? They are never too young to learn about cleaning up their toys or helping in the process.
Practice healthy habits. You can organize your garage, but it can be unorganized in as little as two months if you aren’t careful. That is why you should use organization tools to your advantage, like storage shelves. These great tools, when combined with use, can ensure you not only meet your New Year’s resolution of getting organized but make it a lifelong habit. The rewards are usually reaped close to home.

Happy Planning 2019.

Spy Cameras And Home Protection

Leave a comment

Spy Cameras And Home Protection

With crime on the rise, technology has lead to a decrease in home security prices. Although many devices have dropped in prices over the years, the spy camera is one of the most popular to experience a decrease in price. What was once only dreamed about in movies such as James Bond is now a reality that is very affordable.

Hidden Cameras

The spy cameras of today are included with pin cameras, pens, and even cameras that are hidden in a pair of sunglasses. Most kits cost a few hundred bucks and will come with sensors and remote Internet access – complete with alarms. This way, you’ll have the chance to hook up your house wide cameras to your main cable system and watch the spy camera from any screen in your house. To watch the video though, you’ll need to have your television set to a specific channel.

Motion Sensors

Along with spy cameras there is also a variety of other devices that you can use to protect your home and yourself such as motion sensors, alarms, trip wires, spy cameras, surveillance cameras, finger print locks, digital locks, and many more. Almost everything is available at an affordable price, unless you choose to have professional installation. Professional installation will cost a lot more money, possibly even thousands of dollars if you have a big house.

Professional Advice

If you aren’t familiar with the way spy cameras and other spy related security works, it may be in your best interest to hire a professional. A professional can show you how to work the equipment and answer any questions that you may have. Even though it will cost you a lot more than if you were to do it yourself, it would be a lot better than messing something up. Spy cameras and equipment can be very tricky – especially if you have no experience with home security.

The pin and sunglasses spy camera is among the most popular. These cameras may require professional installation, as you’ll need to hook the wireless panel up to a monitor or your computer. Depending on the type of spy camera that you are using, hooking everything up can be anywhere from novice to professional level. Sunglasses can be great to use at home or anywhere else you travel within distance, as the camera is completely undetectable to those who are standing within your field of vision.

Planning and Securing a Home

For protection around the home or anywhere else you travel, a spy camera can be a great investment. These cameras are becoming more and more popular these days due to the drop in price. Although they were very expensive when they were first introduced, those times have changed. You can get a spy camera now for just a few hundreds bucks – making it an investment you can never go wrong with.

Lighting for security

Preventing Burglary With Adequate Lighting

Preventing Burglary With Adequate Lighting

As many already know, adequate lighting is a critical part of keeping your home safe. Even though lighting is very important to home safety, a lot of homeowners don’t look at their lighting as being an integral aspect of safety. No matter where you may live, you should always make sure that there is plenty of lighting in place and that the lights are out of reach for those without a ladder.

Light up the Outside House Environment

The lighting that is around the doors of your home is very important, as most burglars like to focus on doors before anything else. When it comes to the doors of your home, any lighting at all is better than no lighting. If a burglar sees lights around your home, chances are he’ll move on. If the lights are off however, the burglar will more than likely proceed as planned.

Use Motion Trigger Lights in the Yard

If you own a garage, you should always use an automatic garage opener. Once they have been activated, most will automatically turn on the lights. Your carport is also important to safety. If you are going to be away from home, you should always make sure that the leave the light on your carport on. You can also use motion detected lights as well. When these lights detect any type of movement, they will automatically turn on – which could easily startle a burglar.

For the exterior of your home, motion detected lights are the way to go. If you have a large backyard, you should always make sure that you use motion detected lights. To be on the safe side, you can always connect an alarm to the lights. This way if someone was to move through your yard, the lights would sound the alarm. Burglars don’t like alarms and they will normally flee the instant they hear an alarm sound.

If you are planning to use motion sensors in your front yard, you should make sure that you have planned the locations carefully. People walking by the sensor or kids playing nearby can easily trigger it. When you set the motion sensors up you should always make sure that you hook lights up to them as well. This way, those in your family will know where the motion detectors are and they can easily avoid them.

Think Safety First

Having the right amount of lighting around your home will go a long way in keeping your family safe. Burglars don’t like to be around light, which is why it is so very important. If you don’t have a lot of lights around your home, you should do something about it. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy – all you need is enough lighting to make sure that a burglar thinks twice about breaking into your home.

Location Decision And Crime

Leave a comment

Location Decision And Crime

When looking to buy a house, the location of the house is very important. Most people want to buy a home in a decent neighborhood, as they have the intention to remain at their home for many years to come. If someone is planning to buy a home strictly for the resale value, then the location will prove to be even more important. The resale factor of a home is very dependant on the location, simply because someone wouldn’t want to buy a home that wasn’t in a decent neighborhood.

What goes in the territory?

When buying a home, the general rule of thumb is to purchase a home that will appeal to a large number of potential buyers. To do this, you’ll need to look at the location of the home. The community is very important, especially in terms of crime. If you buy a home in a neighborhood that is well known for crime you’ll more than likely have difficulty when you try to sale. Bad neighborhoods generally spark little to no interest. These days, people want to buy homes in the best possible neighborhoods that they can afford.

When buying your home, you should always narrow the choices down a few of the best cities around you. You’ll want to buy your home in a community that has a very stable economy and plenty of commercial and business districts. This way, when you decide to sell your house, you can rest assured that your house is in a good selling area. You should also look at the crime statistics for the area as well. If the crime rate is high, you should look into another area.

Availability of Schools for Children

You should also look into the local school system as well. Even though you may not have kids now, you should always think about the future. A home that is within a short distance to shopping centers and quality schools are always easy to sale. If you buy a home that is in a bad neighborhood and has poor schools, you’ll quickly regret that decision. If you can’t afford to purchase a home that is in a good location, you should work on your credit and save up some money until you are able to purchase a home that is in a desirable location.

Although the size of a home is important, the location is one of the most important aspects to buying a home. The location is important for those living in the home as well as the resale value. A home that is in a desirable location is always easy to sale, for the simple fact that the location speaks for itself. If you’ve been thinking about buying a home for the resale value – you should always make sure that you pay close attention to the location.

Moral Law

Laws Concerning Israel’s Kings

Leave a comment

Biblical Education

From The Nemesis Book. Author Victor Leinonen

http://thenemesisbook.com

“A king has a responsibility to hear the complaints of the people. They were not to put a foreigner over them, who was not their brother.
There was the clear guidance of the responsibilities and principles given to a King in Israel; he was accountable for his office as a king. These instructions and law are given in 1400 BC. There is no excuse for any ruler to be irresponsible, only self-appointed dictators, and despots position themselves above the Spirit of the Natural Law, such as Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler.”

Book of Deuteronomy.

Chapter 17.

Starting from Verse 16

o “Only he must not acquire many horses for himself or cause the people to return to Egypt to acquire many horses,
o Moreover, he shall not acquire many wives for himself, lest his heart turn away,
o nor shall he acquire for himself excessive silver and gold.
o “And when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself in a book a copy of this law, approved by[a] the Levitical priests.
o 19 “And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God by keeping all the words of this law and these statutes, and doing them,
o 20 “that his heart may not be lifted up above his brothers,
o and that he may not turn aside from the commandment,
o either to the right hand or to the left, so that he may continue long in his kingdom, he and his children, in Israel.”
– Moses 1446 BC.

Quote:

“The same principles of responsibility apply for the human reason to engage in and to take upon as a priority value for life.
“The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions. The reason is that law, of nature. And the human capacity to reason together.”

John Locke.

“The disconnect between the rebellion and anarchy of the Russian revolution became an infectious fever that was caught by people everywhere where there were Bolsheviks and the Russian military presence.
Then came dissent, defiance, rebellion, and mutiny. The Russian Seamen in the port of Finland mutinied their officers on the ships and the ashore.”

“The Russian engagement in the World War 1 took its toll on the people. The intolerance and unrest grew by the military failures and setbacks during the three and a half years of World War 1.
Russia had been engaged in WW1 for 3 1/2 years. Then came the realization that it was wasted effort, enormous loss of human lives and resources to continue the mindless slaughter at the front lines of WW1.”

RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

“Looking back at the events of history, the 1917 Russian revolution can be compared to the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster, which was a catastrophic nuclear accident.
Those people that romanticise the Russian revolution are irresponsible and out of touch with reality. They are mostly lefties, like those in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. What is there romantic about the Chernobyl disaster, that was a catastrophic nuclear accident?”

“People that romanticize Chernobyl catastrophic nuclear accident do not think laterally of the people who live in Nordic countries, and East Europe when the radioactive contamination from the Chernobyl accident was scattered. There were Russian, Ukraine and the international spread of radioactive substances, much of it deposited in mountainous regions such as the Alps, the Welsh mountains and the Scottish Highlands, where adiabatic cooling caused radioactive rainfall.”

“Approximately 100,000 km² of land was significantly contaminated with fallout, with the worst hit regions being in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. Slighter levels of contamination were detected over all of Europe except for the Iberian Peninsula.”

New Year’s Resolutions and Organization: See Success

New Year’s Resolutions and Organization: See Success

This New Year, you may be like most Americans and make a resolution. If so, your New Year’s resolution may be to get organized. Organization is a problem that many have and want to fix. What better time to get organized and start fresh than the New Year?

Taking the step of declaring organization as your New Year’s resolution is a huge step. You should be proud. If you want to increase your pride and see success, you need to do more than just say “I want to get organized,” you need to make it happen. So, how you do transform your New Year’s resolution from a goal into a reality?

Not only share your New Year’s resolution with others in your home or office, but share a few tips on how they can help. For example, is your husband known for tossing mail off to the side? Buy a desktop sorter and encourage him to use it. Do you have a small child? They are never too young to learn about cleaning up their toys or helping in the process.

Practice healthy habits.

You can organize your garage, but it can be unorganized in as little as two months if you aren’t careful. That is why you should use organization tools to your advantage, like storage shelves. These great tools, when combined with use, can ensure you not only meet your New Year’s resolution of getting organized, but make it a lifelong habit.
