  • Touch your leg under the table, especially the inner thigh. But don’t move your hand towards your genitals. Just gently rub the inner thigh for a few minutes and remove your hand. This will drive her crazy.
  • Whispering dirty thoughts to her: “I was looking at you when you were there, you look so sexy” or “I can’t wait to take you home” or “things I’ll do to you when we’re alone.”
  • Take her to a small and discreet place and start kissing you passionately. Kiss her on the neck, lick her ear, gently pull her hair if you can. Then stop and continue your normal activity.
  • Take her hand and play with her palm. Do this when no one can see. This is a sexual taunt. Tickle the inside of his palm with your fingers while holding his hand.
  • When no one is looking, stroke her lightly and cup her chest, if you’re standing from behind. Kiss her on the neck and whisper mischievous thoughts in her ear.
  • Dancing is very sexual. Any chance you get to dance with your wife, use it!
  • When no one is looking, take their hand gently and place it over your crotch. Especially if you are aroused, this will make her want you more.
  • Write her naughty notes and hide them in her purse.
  • When you are alone for a minute, whisper in detail what you are going to do to him the second they get home.
  • Paint provocative scenarios in her mind with words, when no one can hear you both, tell her how you fantasize about having sex with her in that closet over there or on this table.

Does Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) Have Negative Side Effects? Does it work for weight loss? CLA has been sold for many years as a fat loss supplement based on the weight loss and changes in body composition (i.e., losing fat and gaining muscle) seen in studies with mice and rats. Does it work in humans? More recent research in humans has shown that it can be used to increase fat loss. In this article we will look at some of the benefits of CLA, as well as some of the possible side effects. In addition to weight loss studies, countless studies have been (and currently exist) looking at the effects of this fatty acid in reducing inflammation, fighting cancer, and treating other conditions.

Since 2007, there has been an increase in the use of CLA as a fat burner. This is due to the publication of a meta-analysis (basically a review of several scientific studies) published in the May 2007 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which concluded that 3.2 g / d of CLA can induce weight loss moderate in humans. CLA is an attractive weight loss supplement and many people use conjugated linoleic acid as part of a fat loss supplement stack (i.e. a group of compounds and herbs taken together to maximize effects) because Unlike many other weight loss supplements, it is not a stimulant and you do not suffer the unpleasant side effects of nervousness, increased heart rate, or worse, increased blood pressure. This is especially since there aren’t many effective non-stimulant fat burning options on the market.

Let’s now look at two more studies involving people taking supplemental CLA. The first study was published again in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The researchers found that when people supplemented with 3.2 g / d of CLA (this is generally the recommended dose for weight loss) they burned more fat, and more specifically, they burned more fat when they slept!

This is true.

Not only did the CLA subjects burn more fat when they slept, the fat they burned was NOT fat they had recently eaten; in reality, what they burned was stored body fat. This study is further improved when researchers reported that people who took CLA had decreased protein losses in their urine. In other words, the CLA group had improved protein retention when they slept. These are really interesting finds. If I owned a supplement company that sold large doses of CLA, my new title would be “CLA – Scientifically proven to burn more body fat and build muscle while you sleep.”

So CLA may work for weight loss, but are there any side effects? Again in 2007, another study was published looking at the effects of CLA on weight loss, this time in obese people. In this study, participants received CLA doses of 0, 3.2, or 6.4 grams / day. At the end of the study, the group that received 6.4 g / d of CLA experienced a significant increase in a compound called C-reactive protein, or CRP for short. C-reactive protein is a protein that is released from the liver. It is commonly used in the medical field as a general marker of the level of inflammation in your body; a higher CRP means more inflammation.

While there was an increase in CRP, it was not really clinically significant as CRP levels remained below what is considered normal (normal CRP levels are 3 mg / dL). It is also important to realize that the people in the study who had increased CRP as a result of taking a CLA supplement were taking twice the ‘recommended’ dose for weight loss and also that obese people typically have higher levels of PCR (this could have also come into play here). The group that only took 3.2 grams per day had no increase in their CRP levels.

Based on the findings from the studies I mentioned above and the review of the article’s studies in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it appears that 3.2 g / d of CLA can be taken safely to enhance weight loss.

The next question you should ask is …

What do you do with these findings? Not much at the moment … CLA is a good supplement to a fat loss program, but “supplement” is the keyword. CLA is perfect for building up nutrients, as combining these effects with a supplement such as green tea extract (which has also been shown to increase weight loss), increased physical activity without exercise, and multiple meals at the same time. throughout the day will surely increase your fat loss. If you’re not getting your nutrition right, training with weights 3 times a week and doing 3 interval sessions a week, don’t waste time with CLA and focus on the things that matter most.

The shift to e-learning that occurred in 2020 may have changed higher education in profound ways, even after the crisis that caused the transition is finally resolved. Students who have never taken an online class now find that they can learn this way. However, many educators who have never taught in this environment understand that teaching online is no easier than teaching in a traditional classroom. The lack of visual and verbal cues presents an immediate learning curve for anyone starting to teach online. Furthermore, the learning management system alone cannot be relied upon as the reason that students succeed in this type of environment. However, virtual learning has already established a proven track record of meeting student needs.

One of the challenges educators must learn to address is engaging students who cannot see in the learning process. Even the most seasoned online educators can find it difficult to do so at times, especially for students who do not respond to outreach attempts. I think about this same theme every time I start a new term and I am always re-evaluating how to evolve and inspire students in new ways. As an example, the current time period was an important factor in my thought process when I set up my new classes and recorded the videos for the first week. He knew that the choice of words and tone could have a considerable impact on students during a time of intense emotions. Over time, and with practice, I have developed strategies to inspire my students that I believe will also be helpful.

What creates a virtual classroom?

Do you consider what your students feel or experience when they first log into the classroom? What is the classroom for them? Some learning management systems are fairly easy to use and some are not. The discussion forum is generally the heart of the classroom and where most of the activity takes place. There are probably many places for you to look for course materials and information. Are students frustrated because they can’t find what they need?

I asked those questions to get you to think about your students and then consider what you can do to help them better navigate through the required technology. Maybe you can post an ad or create a short guide. I create Weekly Prep Guides to help students with the next week of the course, while also sharing additional resources and my perspective on the course topics for the week. I also post a weekly course announcement with a to-do list to help students stay organized. This can also help you and your students.

Five strategies you can implement to inspire your students

If you were to detail the strategies you use now to help engage students in a virtual learning process, which would you consider to be the most inspiring? What strategies help you feel more connected to your students as you interact with them? The following five methods may encourage you to try a new approach or reevaluate how you work with your students online now. I learned these strategies from my own online teaching practice, along with time spent working on teacher development.

Strategy n. # 1: Actively Engage With Your Students

Discussions are the heart of any virtual classroom and this is where you can add incredible value and meaning for students. Consider how they approach the question (s) assigned for the week. Your students will try to read, understand and interpret the required topics. They may post a substantive response, something that explores the concepts and encourages others to engage with them, while demonstrating what they have learned.

More often, however, the initial posts are a good attempt to address the requirements, with a bit of reflection on assigned course materials and general opinion statements infused into what is written. There may be some improvement in the writing level as students move from undergraduate to graduate courses, however, I have seen the same writing patterns continue in all degree programs.

This is why your participation becomes critical to learning and how you can inspire your students to engage in discussions at a much deeper level. While your initial response may be more reactive in nature, your posts can encourage them to think more, through the use of probing questions, while also providing information and context for the topics being studied. You likely have the experience and knowledge to share with them, to give them a real-world perspective that they may not have considered, and they may also have experiences that you can encourage them to provide. When you provide substantive and engaging posts, you are setting a standard for your students to follow and validating their effort or attempt to address the assigned question. I found that validation is necessary for many to keep trying or go ahead with a follow-up post.

Strategy n. 2: direct participation required

There are many words that are used to describe an online educator. The essence of the work you do in a classroom is that of an educator. When you interact with your students, you could consider yourself a teacher as you address specific topics, along with improving academic skills. The word facilitator is also used to denote participation in processes and procedures. I believe that the words that involve educating and teaching students are the most appropriate as both are indicators of the active participation of anyone who is involved in this role. Not only am I involved in helping educate and teach students, I am also a coach and mentor.

Regardless of the words used to define yourself, direct participation in a virtual classroom is required. In my experience, you cannot register two or three times a week, answer questions, complete the minimally required feedback, post the minimally required discussion responses, and hope that this will inspire your students to become very involved in the learning process. If they observe that you are minimally involved in the class, what do they perceive to be your attitude and how are they likely to respond in return? As an example, my goal is to post a response for each student at least once for each discussion. I want to make sure that I have helped each student to continue their original post in some way.

Strategy n. # 3: create comments that connect with your students

There are two forms of feedback. The first type of feedback meets the basic requirement of telling students how points were earned. This may include some comments and / or a rubric that is returned when the gradebook is updated. Students get minimal value from this type of feedback as it does not teach them or address their developmental needs.

The feedback I recommend is deeper. For a written assignment, the first step I take is to download a copy of the student’s work. I then use my comments as a teaching opportunity by inserting comments that include my knowledge, suggestions, and questions. Then when I return the document, I will also include a rubric to support the comments provided in the document. For discussions, I make sure to avoid canned comments and try to personalize them. As an example, I will provide video comments to connect with students directly. I want you to feel like you are having a conversation with them, even if it is a one-way conversation, since they can see and hear me. This also encourages them to contact me after reviewing it for further discussion.

Strategy n. 4: create a person in the virtual classroom

As an online educator, you want to create some kind of persona or develop an online identity in which you have a visible personality. If you can upload a photo of yourself to your profile, a professional photo will be of great help so that your students see you as a real person. Next, consider how you want to be portrayed or perceived by students in the classroom.

While you want to remain professional and academic in nature, can you afford to share something of a personal nature? For example, in my introduction I will share something about my favorite hobbies, TV shows, and movies, along with my professional accomplishments and accomplishments. I find this helps me connect with students and creates a positive image online.

Strategy n. # 5: use words to represent it carefully and carefully

Any educator who “works” or “teaches” in a virtual environment quickly learns the challenge of communicating in this type of classroom. You are using written words instead of verbal communication, and those words can be easily misinterpreted as you are not there to explain what was meant, in case students do not understand your message. Also, they are likely to be online and working at different times than you, given the accessible nature of most learning management systems.

This means that you have to think about every message posted and email or message sent. If you feel any emotional reaction to what you are writing, test what I am doing and create what you want to communicate first in a Word document. Then, if you need time to think more about the message, put it aside and allow a short period of time to focus and feel good about sending it. If you are not sure how to respond, the best solution might be to ask the student to call you. The more careful you are when sending your communication, the more you will continue to develop productive relationships with your students, and in turn, this will inspire them to stay involved in class.

Virtual learning should never feel distant

When students are first assigned to your class, and they have never been assigned to one of your classes before, they know nothing about you. The way they get to know you is through perceptual cues, which include posts and messages they read. An inherent challenge that makes meeting an instructor even more difficult is the separating factor. At the beginning of a class, students may feel separated, until there are signs that their instructor will be easily accessible and available to them. Using welcome videos at my school is a very helpful strategy to bridge the virtual gap at the beginning of a class. I also set Office Hours and provide a direct contact phone number for students to call. For classes that involve complex course projects, I share an appointment scheduling link, making it easy to find a convenient time for your schedule to make an individual appointment.

Regardless of which approach you use, every instructional strategy you implement must be done with the purpose of closing the virtual gap. I found that students who feel connected to their instructor, due to the instructor’s responsiveness, meaningful comments, engaging discussion posts, thoughtful communication, and ease of access, are the ones who will be most involved in the process of learning. When they feel challenged by the class, they will be more likely to reach out and ask questions because of the report developed. A bond is created and a feeling that the instructor cares about their continued development. If you haven’t taught in this environment before, I can tell you this: You must earn your students’ commitment in a different way. When you achieve this goal, it becomes extremely rewarding and personally satisfying to affirm: You are an online educator.

A new study has appeared in the American Journal of Epidemiology that concludes that free time spent sitting can shorten our lives. This study joins a multitude of other similar studies that have concluded the same thing: sitting on the couch watching television or in front of a computer for hours on end will have devastating effects on our health and longevity …

Researchers from the American Cancer Society conducted a large prospective study of American adults to examine free time sitting and physical activity in relation to mortality. The results showed that longer sitting time is related to a higher risk of mortality, especially in women. According to reports, women who sat for more than six hours a day were 37% more likely to die during the period considered than women who sat for less than 3 hours a day. As for men, those who sat for more than 6 hours a day were 18% more likely to die than those who sat for less than 3 hours a day.

Another recent study from Australia apparently reached the same conclusion and suggests that television addicts live shorter lives. The study followed 8,800 adults 25 and older for 6.5 years and found that each daily hour of television viewed as associated with an 18% increase in deaths from heart disease and an 11% increase in overall mortality.

Those who watched television four hours or more a day were 80% more likely to die from heart disease than those who watched two hours or less and 46% more likely to die from any cause. And the surprise? It didn’t matter if they were overweight.

While the benefits of physical activity have been well studied. Researchers are beginning to really look at the effects of being completely sedentary, as these studies show.

For many people, on a daily basis, they simply go from the car seat to the office seat, back to the car seat and then to the sofa and then to the bed.

Researchers are also beginning to see the difference between two types of physical activity. One is exercise: running, walking, swimming, and lifting weights. The other is a non-exercise activity, which may include moving, walking, tapping with the feet or fingers, standing instead of sitting, etc. We all know certain guys who can never “sit still.” People think that these people have magical metabolisms, but they are the ones that move and move. Lean people have a habit of burning hundreds of more calories a day while standing rather than sitting down and constantly moving their body. All this movement adds up over the days and years.

All of this can be disturbing news for those of us who sit around a lot at work. The answer is to add as much exercise as possible before and after work. For those who sit all day and don’t exercise either? Their risk of dying increased to 94% for women and 45% for men.

To counter this, there has been a recent increase in “offices without a president.” In fact, you have a podium where you stand instead of sitting in front of the computer. Schedule “walk-ins” where, as it says, you walk while conducting your meeting. While that may seem extreme, it is clear that many of us are seeing the need to change and are trying different approaches. Bottom line? We need to change the way we’ve been doing things!

What are some things you can do if you find yourself sitting many hours a day at your desk? Start by taking a brisk walk in the morning before work and after work as well, if possible. Also consider adopting these exercises to do at work:

  1. Trade in your desk chair for an exercise ball. Balancing on one of these helps your core muscles
  2. DON’T take that elevator! Using stairs whenever possible is a perfect way to add activity to your day. You could potentially go up in the morning, up and down at lunch, and down at the end of the day.
  3. Write the alphabet with your feet. Work on each letter by flexing and pointing your toes and rotating your ankles.
  4. If you have an hour for lunch, use half for walking. Consider bringing your iPod.
  5. Look online for more exercises and stretches to do while in your chair or standing at your desk.

The expression “Content is king” is an absolute truth. It seems like there’s a shiny new object every week to drift off, but content marketing is still the most powerful technique for building an audience and generating leads.

The goal of content marketing is to develop goodwill by offering solutions that will also develop your brand. Ultimately this will lead to even more organic sales without being a constant release festival.

Reason n. Content Marketing # 2: Build Brand Awareness

You may even have the most effective services or products in deep space, but unless people learn about you, you don’t exist either. Web content advertising can help you transform that. When people come to your content to get the answer or find solutions, you increase brand recognition organically. Use your content to demonstrate your competition, as we said above, and also to increase web traffic to your website.

Reason n. Content Marketing # 3: More Leads = Additional Customers

Also, if you upload high-quality material, other organizations will want to connect to your site, further expanding your target market. And also, these “backlinks” are great for your site SEO. Do you intend to rate better? Backlinks are an important part of getting there.

Reason n. Content Marketing # 5: Engage Your Target Customer
