If Sony was trying to make a statement with the launch of its PlayStation 4 console, it did a pretty good job. Unlike most of the pre-game rhetoric and inflated talk, the PS4 seems to have lived up to its claims and is the most powerful console on the market. It has seen another revision to its exterior and some major design tweaks to its Dual Shock controller. In addition, it has expanded memory and greatly increased the performance of its processors. These upgrades are clearly evident and the PS4 offers stunning HD graphics that run smooth and lightning fast.

With some very well-equipped exclusive game titles, streaming access, and multiplayer capabilities, PlayStation enthusiasts will most likely welcome newcomers with open arms. Not to mention, the price of this console is around $100 less than its ardent rival: the Xbox One. As it stands today, the PS4 has made a grand entrance.

Performance: 5.0 / 5.0

The PS4 has a single-chip processor that combines an octa-core x86-64 AMD “Jaguar” CPU with a 1.84 teraflops GPU. It is supported by 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM and has a 500 GB mechanical hard drive. Sony boasts that its new hardware allows it to perform ten times better than the last PS3. That’s a pretty impressive feat.

Another nice touch is the fact that the PS4 comes with a 500 GB drive. This extra space helps when downloading movies and games from the PlayStation market. If you ever feel pressured for space, don’t worry, because the hard drive can also be upgraded without voiding your warranty.

PS4’s HD graphics are stunning and the responsiveness of consoles these days is unmatched. What’s even more impressive is the fact that this machine can perform at such a high level without sounding like a plane on a runway or overheating. Not to mention, the entire power supply is encased within the unit; unlike Xbox One, which still has it connected to the external power cable in an attempt to save space inside the console.

Features: 5.0 / 5.0

The PS4 comes in the same half-matte, half-gloss black exterior as the Xbox One. Still, it has a completely different look. That’s because the PS4 has a sleek, slim design and doesn’t look like an oversized mid-’80s VCR. I’m not saying the Xbox one is the ugly half-sister of the bunch, but it probably wouldn’t be asked to prom if the PS3 was available and ready. Now, for all of you who have just been offended by such a superficial statement, I know full well that Mom always said, “It’s what’s on the inside that counts.” And in that sense, I assure you, the PS4 would still be the first guest at a dance.

The PS4 has seen some modifications to its components and for that reason any of your older PlayStation peripherals won’t work, imagine that.

Although the PS4 doesn’t have previous capabilities to play your PS3 titles, many of the games you previously had can be purchased at a considerable discount from its online store. The only problem: you’ll have to insert the old PS3 disc into the console while playing the online version.

Games purchased from PlayStation Store are downloaded directly to your hard drive, and there’s no need to worry about your drive getting lost or scratched. The only negative is the fact that downloaded titles cannot be borrowed over the weekend or exchanged for credit at your local game store. As this way of buying games becomes more popular, stores like GameStop and other game trade retailers could take a hit, that or a seat next to Blockbuster at “Reminiscence Park.”

The new PS4 Dual Shock 4 has seen some physical changes that make it stand out a bit from its older counterpart. Some of the most notable changes pertain to the analog sticks; which have been spaced out a bit more to avoid collisions with thumbs. They have also been designed with recessed caps and covered with a rubber coating to improve grip. The Dual Shock 4 also comes with an external speaker and a headphone jack for your headphones, just keep in mind that you can only output in stereo from the controllers connection; however, it is a nice touch. I would say that one of the best design features of the Dual Shock 4 is the metallic touchpad on the front of the controller. It works just like a laptop touchpad and is extremely smooth and responsive.

Although the Dual Shock 4 can be purchased and used on the PS3, older Dual Shock 3 controllers are not compatible with the PS4.

For those who already have a PS Vita, you can stream games from your PS4 over Wi-Fi to the portable drive. This creates a second display screen, much like the Wii U, and allows you to play while someone else is using the TV. While this is a nice feature, it probably wouldn’t justify buying the PS Vita on its own.

The PlayStation Camera is a nice touch, but it takes very little interaction to realize that it’s not quite as robust as Xbox Kinect and doesn’t seem to have enough game interaction to make it worth your while. It also has a voice command feature, albeit a very limited one, and you may want to consider spending your money on another controller.

Media: 4.4 / 5.0

The PS4 seems to have been relegated to the background in its previous plans to be the all-in-one media center. While it can still boast one of the best-performing Blu-Ray and DVD players on the market, unlike the PS3, you can no longer play music files, CDs, or easily stream content from your PC. Instead, it seems to work more like a Roku. However, if you just want to use the console for gaming or occasional access to Netflix and other movie apps, you’re all set. Not to mention, the movies are easily accessible and can be loaded at lightning speeds. You can even use the PS4 to connect to social networks and share some of your featured games, nothing like showing off.

When it comes to music, both Xbox and PS4 have their own channels. PlayStation offers “Music Unlimited,” for a small fee, of course. It works much like Pandora and allows users to listen to entire albums. The only weakness is that it is a bit slower and less refined in recognizing the true genre of music or artist you want. Along with this feature comes “Video Unlimited”. Another movie-based channel that is surprisingly deep in the title selections and also allows streaming to alternative devices.

The PlayStation online gaming community has seen great improvements in the interface and gameplay features. The only downside is that, like Xbox, PS4 users will now have to pay to access the multiplayer area. Although this is a change from the PS3 where it was free, the experience has been vastly improved and will probably be considered worth the cost.

One useful feature of the PS4 is the iOS and Android app that allows users to connect to the PlayStation Store and purchase and download games while on the go. With this app, games can be automatically downloaded to your console, while you’re away from home, and then ready to play once you arrive. All in all, the PS4 still has some good interaction and feature variety in the multimedia department, but it lacks the depth experienced with the PS3. Due to some of these complaints, Sony has taken note and I imagine they will make some adjustments in their updates.

The final result: 4.9 / 5.0

The PS4 is $100 cheaper than the Xbox One, but even if you removed the Kinect component to lower the Xbox’s price, the PS4 is much better value for the dollar. Its performance is undeniable, and while the Xbox One is a well-built unit, until Microsoft irons out some performance issues, it won’t be rubbing shoulders with Sony.

As for the downside, the PS4 only comes with two front USB ports. We felt that this design flaw also present with the PS3 would have been fixed, but apparently not. It also lacks the depth of gaming titles like Xbox One, and always has. However, it is within reach and has many blockbuster exclusive titles and a promising future.

The PS4 is a powerful gaming console that offers gamers exactly what they are looking for; a seamless HD gaming experience with full functionality and control. Based on its undeniable performance, improved design, and price, Consumer High Five Reviews considers a first-round pick a no-brainer.

Mark Nash, author of 1001 Tips for Buying and Selling a Home, gives homebuyers home runs and punches when looking for a home. It may not be obvious that what he wears when he looks for a house can affect what he pays for a house. Years of showing homes and introducing potential buyers to home sellers, the way buyers project themselves fashionably makes quite an impression.

First impressions of real estate agents and home sellers are all they have when evaluating potential buyers. If you look well-groomed, low-key, and wear clothing appropriate for your home’s price range, you could pay less than the tattooed, long-haired, over-jeweled, and ripped-jeans buyer you’re competing with multiple bids for the same home. . Buying a house is a business transaction, so think about business clothes when buying a house.

Women

-The pants are fine, but make sure they are not low riders.

-Get rid of t-shirts, tanks, and tank tops. House hunting is not a vacation.

-Skirts are great. The minis send the wrong message.

-Wear comfortable but presentable shoes. You will be doing a lot of walking, climbing stairs, and going in and out of transportation.

-Forget about high heels. Spiked heels on shoes can easily dent bamboo and other softer hardwood floors. Also, if you went into the yard to take a look at the roof, you could end up aerating up your lawn.

-Leave the animal prints for when you’re in a disco. Busy or fussy fashion styles can be distracting and not make everyone’s top ten fashion list.

-Simple jewelry and limited quantities accentuate your business outlook. Skip the bling, otherwise you could end up paying more for a house, because sellers think you can afford it.

-Simplify makeup, hair and manicure styles to appeal to most people. You won’t get a better deal because sellers love your fabulous acrylic nails.

-No fur coats, ever. It’s an outlandish, political statement that could cost you a house or an extra $10,000.

-No low cut or revealing look. Very rarely do homebuyers get a gender discount.

Men

-Check that the soles of the shoes are not covered in mud before entering any open house. Many homebuyers never made it to the kitchen after walking on a freshly cleaned carpet in dirty shoes.

-No jogging, gym clothes, bike shorts or bathing suits. Unless you’re trying out the workout facility in a condo building on your second visit.

-Business casual pants are best, but if you must wear jeans, make sure they are clean and not ripped.

-Open-necked shirts work well, but real estate agents and home sellers don’t need to see your polished or not-so-polished chest or four gold chains.

-Think twice before wearing more than one earring. If we were all equal, life would be boring.

-Skip the tank tops and muscle shirts and no showing elastic waistbands on your underwear, please. You can activate Mr. Houseseller, but Mr. Houseseller may not appreciate it.

-Limit the exposure of tattoos, they are fashionable, but not for everyone. The same goes for checkers in this case.

-Wear simple patterned shirts with matching plain pants. Remember that red denotes power.

Don’t dress too much to impress. Leave the cufflinks and French cuff shirts at home.

Both

-Coffee “cups to go” are not a fashion accessory. Coffee easily spills onto carpets when climbing stairs or opening cupboards and cabinets when touring properties.

-Baseball caps are for bad hair days. Plus, they send the wrong trading message by buying the biggest asset you’ll ever own.

-Wet umbrellas should be parked outside the front door, not on hardwood floors or entryway tables and chairs.

-Wear slip-on shoes when touring the open houses. You may be asked to remove your shoes out of cultural respect for the owner, inclement weather, or newly installed floor coverings.

-If you don’t want to take your shoes off buy and wear blue disposable surgical booties-or ask your agent for a pair.

-You must wear socks or stockings. No sandals, period. If you are asked to remove your shoes, homeowners may not necessarily want your feet bare on their floors.

-Cell phones. If you need to make or receive a call, please go to a place where you will not disturb others at the open house. Never negotiate a home purchase contract into a different property contract while you are looking at a house.

-Carry bicycle and motorcycle helmets with you. Ask before parking them on any surface.

-Shorts are okay if they are close to the knee. No ripped or too tight styles.

-Dress for the season. Don’t wear shorts in snow or black wool in August, even if it’s your best househunting outfit.

-Remove sunglasses when inside buildings. People expect some eye contact.

-Be careful with perfume. Lots of people are allergic to it nowadays and they could be the owners of the house you fell in love with.

-Put cigarettes, cigars and pipes out of sight. They’re not exactly a popular fashion or political statement in 2006.

Kids

-T-shirts, pants, shoes and socks are required.

-Diapers are not in fashion.

Are you looking for a quiet vacation in a small and hospitable town? Somewhere where you don’t have to go through traffic jams or bustling people here and there? Any place where you can meditate in church or even on the street without anyone bothering you? Then St. Andrews is exactly the place you’re looking for.

Named after the Apostle, St. Andrews is known as ‘the home of golf’. Here resided the oldest patrons of golf and spread the game throughout the region. Many of the major golf tournaments are held frequently in this city for which visitors flock to the region when the golf season ends. But golfers aren’t the only attraction in this historic city. The sandy beaches, often fused with golf courses, are also major tourist attractions.

In addition to golf and beaches, St. Andrews is also famous for its iconic buildings. These buildings include the West Harbour, Holy Trinity Tower, St Rule’s Tower and St. Andrews Castle. The list also consists of churches, cathedrals and other parish sites famous for their elegance and architecture. The city boasts the University of St. Andrews, the third oldest university in the English world, as well as a vibrant academic environment with two-thirds of the population being students during academic session.

The climate in this part of the world is mostly winter. The average maximum temperature throughout the year is around 14 °C, while the average minimum temperature is 4.9 °C. In summer temperatures are usually around 19°C but almost never exceed 20°C while in winter the temperature is always below 0°C. Woolen clothing should be the perfect choice, with sweaters and jeans leading the way, but you can also do it with nylon pants and leggings. Whatever you wear, make sure you’re not naked because St. Andrews doesn’t have the weather that would allow you to show off your great skin. It’s too cold to be uncovered!

However, clothing should not prevent you from visiting. The beautiful city has a lot to offer if you are assertive to its cold climate. It includes a famous canoeing club that holds regular sessions for its tourists. There are football teams, rugby teams, sports centers and golf courses and on any given day it will not be surprising that the entire population takes to the streets to attend a local game of football or golf. Pubs and bars abound in all parts of the city, and several of them have nightclubs even in this quiet city.

With one of the lowest crime rates in the world, you need not fear for your safety here. The streets are not patrolled, but it’s not how you need them. The sparse population means that people here are considerably wealthier compared to many other regions of the UK, so the incidence of muggings and other organized crime is extremely low.

So if you think you need a vacation without the hassle and hassle, I can guarantee that St. Andrews is the perfect destination for you.

There was a popular song that came out in 1986 that was recorded by Janet Jackson under the title “What have you done for me lately?” Just sit back and let that title sink in for a minute. It could conjure up all sorts of thoughts… Is the writer saying that he feels abandoned because nobody does anything for “them”… or is he being selfish and demanding and wishes more and more would be done for THEM? ? Just trying to figure it out could take all day, but let’s take a different route.

Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to please and do for other people that we put ourselves, our needs, and our wants on the back burner. That’s in our DNA, right? We instinctively try to think of others first and ourselves somewhere around… let’s say “LAST!” Is this healthy? is this automatic? Is this what we feel we must do because we have always done it that way?

No – Yes – No. Somewhere, we need to spend a little time, effort and planning for US! If you’ve ever seen the movie where the girl had low self-esteem and heard her very good friend say over and over, “You’re kind, you’re smart, you’re important,” then you know what everyone needs to hear.

How many people are we trying to please? Two? Fifteen? Eighty-five? No matter what number we come up with, our number must be somewhere at the beginning. Taking care of ourselves should also be as thorough as caring for and trying to please others. Every day we need to satisfy and nurture our need for exercise and excitement; for rest and relaxation; for challenge and communication; for a bit of fun, silliness and pampering. Without these, we can sink into the routine of the ordinary, simple and boring. Who wants a friend like that?

We are kind! We are intelligent! We are important! Also, we must never, ever forget it! Just as the flight attendant always insists that we “take the oxygen first”, we must apply that to other aspects and areas of our lives. Most of the people we interact with and care about need us to be able to smile, joke around, paste a crazy emoji at the end of our text, and most importantly laugh at ourselves and others.

That, my friends, is Friendship! We need to not only be a good caring friend to others, but we need to make friends and take care of ourselves first! Take the oxygen first!!!

Who would have thought that eBay would become such a household name? eBay is not only the largest auction site, but also the largest marketplace in the world, and its global presence is unrivaled by any other website. eBay has managed to build a reputation around the world as the place to come and find whatever you’re looking for. Regardless of what it is, somewhere in the world someone will sell it. Along with this reputation, eBay managed to do what ruined many early e-commerce sites, which was build trust among their customers. On Ebay, people are willing to spend and the trust they have in Ebay’s checkout and delivery system is reflected in their sales. With this in mind, starting an eBay auction business can be a very lucrative venture for you.

One of the things that makes eBay so successful is that it offers just about anyone the opportunity to connect with your business. By opening your own eBay store, you can gain instant access to a large customer base, which is the crux of doing business online.

Many entrepreneurs who start their own online businesses fail by not attracting enough customers to their website. Online competition can be fierce and website traffic has become a commodity. By starting your own eBay auction business, you can largely eliminate this problem. Starting your own eBay store is incredibly simple and inexpensive and you can simply connect to Ebay’s proven checkout system without any hassle or lengthy application and approval processes.

If this sounds too easy, hold your horses. Anyone who owns and runs a store can tell you one simple truth: it’s hard work! Running your own eBay store is no different and along with success can come a lot more ‘trouble’. Dealing with customer issues, inventory, and shipping orders can soon become a full-time job. Although the earning potential is great, an eBay auction business is still hard work and many online entrepreneurs are trying to escape a full-time job without sacrificing a full-time income.

However, there is a slight twist on the subject and due to the frustration of dealing with all the typical hassles that come with owning a store, many entrepreneurs turned to affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing became popular in the mid 90’s and to this day forms a large part of online businesses with websites like Amazon relying almost entirely on affiliates. The fact that eBay offers a very generous affiliate commission on product sales opened up a new avenue for those who want to benefit from eBay without the usual hassles of running an online store.

By starting your own affiliate store, you can start an eBay auction business without selling anything. By simply promoting certain products on your ‘virtual storefront’, you can direct customers to the most appropriate products and earn commission on sales that result from your referral. Although the profit margins are much smaller than if you had your own eBay store, the amount of work is much less. In fact, you can set your eBay affiliate store on autopilot and let it run itself while still earning commissions.

Residual income is a very powerful concept and one that the Internet allows you to plug into. Most people today earn ‘line income’, which means they trade time for money. Residual income, on the other hand, means that you work once and continue to work for yourself and earn money for yourself. This is the kingdom of the rich and with the Internet it is at your fingertips.

The idea, however, is not to be enslaved by a job you hate and to create the life you want. Regardless of your preferences, you can make money from home and with an eBay auction business anyone can do it. Whether you’re selling your own products or selling other people’s products, eBay gives you the opportunity. It’s all a matter of taking action and making it work for you.

Obesity and overweight are a very major problem these days and in pursuit of a race against time, more and more people do not have adequate time to exercise. Being overweight also results in many dreaded diseases. One needs to control their weight to avoid them and lead a healthy and happy life. There are many products that are available in the market today that help people cut those extra calories. One resorts to these products to lose weight, but the truth is that these products are not necessary as one can lose weight effectively and safely with the help of natural weight loss techniques.

When one needs to get into a weight loss program, they must be mentally prepared to reach their goal. A certain level of planning has to be executed, and instead, a lot of money can naturally be made on expensive products. One of the first natural weight loss tips to turn to is to eat a healthy diet and exercise. The next step that one can check is the number of calories you eat in a day. One needs to reduce the calorie intake in a day by staying active or exercising. If one fails to do this, the calories are stored as fat. Reducing carbohydrate intake also allows you to reduce fat. The body does not digest carbohydrates quickly, so they are stored as fat. Foods with a high caloric content are potatoes, pasta, bread and rice. One should try to eat lower amounts, as the body needs them in small amounts.

You cannot lose weight overnight. The fat that has accumulated in the body has been slow to accumulate. As a result, if you think that fat can be easily burned, you are wrong. Losing weight is a very slow process that requires a lot of motivation and patience. We have to be consistent in our efforts as very often in a natural weight loss program time is a factor. Excess fat will be shredded slowly and steadily and therefore one can gain long term benefits more than a strict diet which can initially help you burn fat but after a while gain it back again.

Regarding the above, one should stay motivated and lose small amounts over periods of time. Strict discipline and healthy eating must be maintained along with regular exercise, as in the absence of these, the weight loss plan will surely fail. Staying fit is very essential as it not only promotes physical health but also mental health. The person can live life and be stronger and more mentally alert than their counterparts. The most important thing is that he can be immune to many diseases caused by obesity and fat. Healthy living along with a strict fitness regimen is the need of the day and if one sticks to this one can lose weight and achieve a slim and trim figure with pride.

What is Fiverr?

Fiverr is a website that hosts all kinds of commercial and non-commercial services, with thousands of what we’ll call “micropayment” entrepreneurs, each touting what they can do for you for just five dollars. They all start at the same price: $5. Hence, a “Five-er”. A job (a “job” as they call it) for only five bucks? Really?

How can someone do something that will take time and charge 5 bucks and make a substantial amount of money on an endeavor like that? And how does that help a network marketing business?

Well, welcome to the shrinking world of commerce and the Internet. The short answer is that Fiverr is not only a valid source of labor at rock bottom prices, but it is an opportunity for all network marketing business owners because it is based on the same concept as a network marketing business. online: the law of large numbers can help you make money if you work them right. Just as important is the opportunity to network and connect with new business owners you never would have met without this platform, and that alone makes Fiverr worth looking at as more than just a place to spend five bucks.

To fully understand Fiverr, we look at Fiverr from two angles, because we’ve used both sides: as a service buyer and as a service provider. This article covers using Fiver as a buyer.

First, a quick look at the Fiverr website:

Who dreamed of Fiverr?

Fiverr is the perfect example of when someone with a brilliant idea takes on the internet and creates a win-win situation for both buyer and seller. At $5 a concert you certainly can’t complain about an expensive experience! Fiverr is a pretty simple concept if you can get past the barrage of ads from every Fiverr entrepreneur offering services. There are some pretty amazing statistics on Fiverr:

• Fiverr was founded four years ago by Shai Wininger and Micha Kaufman. A blog written by Micha over a year ago indicated at the time, 1.5 million people use Fiverr to buy and sell Gigs and many millions more visit the site each month. Fiverr members come from over 200 countries and sellers offer over 1.8 million Gigs across 120 different categories. One Gig is purchased every 6 seconds. Clearly, a year later, those numbers have grown.

• Alexa ranks Fiverr (as of 2/14/15) as the 349th most popular site globally and 370th in the US.

• Fiverr has generated over 3 million “gigs” (the term they use for jobs). When you consider that many Fiverr sellers make more than just the base $5 (as the number of gigs done increases, you can charge more) it’s clear this is a money maker not only for founders, but also if you have success as a seller

So what can you get on Fiverr? Well, A LOT – Here are the main categories:

Buying on Fiverr: what do you buy and how do you do it?

Buying on Fiverr is not difficult. From the list above, you can see that buying something in these broad categories is not a problem. For Fiverr shoppers, this is a great thing: there are so many prospective business owners offering you what you want, it’s a matter of finding someone who has a catchy ad or whose description of what and how they’ll do what you need is the best. than most. You will have almost unlimited options.

While that may be a good thing, consider this: There are three main categories that Fiverr has implemented when buying a gig. There are Fiverr members in the “High Rated” category, members in the “Recommended” category, and finally the “newbies” in the “New” category.

While there certainly has to be a way to categorize those offering services, this “class distinction” almost felt like it was discriminatory until we looked at the sheer number of individual jobs being offered. Fiverr had to find a way to delineate “newbies” vs. more experienced members.

The day we were on the site researching Fiverr, when we wrote the phrase that begins every Fiverr concert: “I’ll do it”, this was the result:

High rating – All categories – 63,741 Recommended – 215,861 New – 52,731.

That’s a total of 332,333 individual gig options! When you consider that each web page you can see when you get results is typically 6-10 gigs on a screen (considering some screen sizes are small, others are large), at 10 gig views per screen, it would take! you 33,234 screen scrolls to see all the alternatives! For example, 10 seconds per screen to see if any value was perceived would be 543 hours, or a little over 3 weeks to see all the options! Clearly, you will have no problem choosing from such a large universe of sellers.

The main hurdle you will have as a Fiverr buyer will be choosing the best rated seller from this huge sea of ​​Fiverr members. It is not as daunting as it seems. You’ll have to scan just a handful of sellers to understand what to look for in an experienced seller. Do you have a video? What is your lap time? How are they ranked and do they have positive testimonials? After several minutes, you’ll have an idea of ​​what to look for.

When we bought concerts, we sometimes spent more than $5. Why is that? Well, technically, that’s all we had to pay. However, the jobs that were done for us were done quickly and efficiently and we paid extra to make that happen – instead of a 3-day turnaround, we opted to pay another $5 for a one-day turnaround. . In one case, we wanted some “bells and whistles” so we paid another $10 for the concert. Those extra bells and whistles are offered only through highly rated, recommended sellers.

NOTE: If you consider our average ticket was $10, and over 3 million concerts have been completed, that equates to 15 million in revenue, pretty solid! Actually, it’s pretty sure there are plenty of sellers on Fiverr who routinely make much more than $5, so you have to conclude that Fiverr has carved out a very profitable niche. We believe this strong financial performance bodes well for Fiverr to continue as a major player in this growing “outsourcer” market.

Once you find a Fiverr provider you like, simply send an email through Fiverr, or just pull the trigger based on their description and make a purchase for $5. The give-and-take and communication on Fiverr between The buyer and seller is very seamless and similar to any good transaction based site, so we never encountered a problem when ordering, adding extras to a gig, and finalizing the transaction. You can then offer “tips” if the project was good, and testimonials can also be left. In that sense, it’s not unlike an E-Bay environment: a shopping community with published results.

A few shopping tips: You can see all categories from “high scores” to “new” and you can see the number of gigs processed and the reviews and rankings just like on eBay, Elance or any number of internet sites where the services are offered. Go with the experience of the person and let your gut guide you. Ask questions through Fiverr to the seller and your shopping experience should be a good one.

Now, we want to emphasize one angle: there are network marketing services that are valuable and can be purchased on Fiverr. You can buy backlinks, you can have link wheels built, you can write blog content, you can have SEO keyword phrases researched, you can have video scripts built, you can make videos, in short, there is marketing in Valuable network “nuts and bolts” that you can buy from Fiverr members that can really help your network marketing business.

Just do your due diligence and shop smart. Ask questions and your experience will be positive.

After you’ve been with the same person for quite some time or are comfortably married, it’s very normal to feel like your spouse has changed a bit. This makes sense if you think about it. No one stays exactly the same throughout their lives. And many of us know our spouses when they were much younger than they are today. So they can seem full of life, rebellious or adventurous when we first meet them. But then, many years later, they may be settled and somewhat more conservative. This is the natural order of things and does not always cause problems.

But it can be problematic if the changes in your spouse particularly worry you or if they remind you of something (or someone) that causes a negative reaction.

You may hear someone say, “I grew up in the same neighborhood as my husband. I’ve known him for most of my life. When we were kids, we used to play together because our moms were really good friends. So, I went through a lot time in his childhood home and I know his parents very well. I have never liked his father. He is stern, old-fashioned, pompous and very critical. Just his tone of voice irritates me. I used to avoid my husband’s house at night because he knew that was when his father would come. And then the atmosphere in the house would change. The laughing would stop. And everyone would get so much more tense. One thing I always loved about my husband was that he looked so much alike. to his mother who is gentle and kind.His mom always laughed and loved to invite the neighborhood kids over.So I figured my husband was going to be a husband and father much like his own mother.I used to be that.When we were newlyweds and young parents, my husband was exactly l what i anticipated But, in the last five years or so, I’ve seen more and more of my husband’s father in him. Lately, he always acts like the world is out to get him or rip him off. He is impatient and critical. Worse yet, when I hear my husband’s voice, that screeching tone is the same as his father’s. He drives me crazy and it’s a big turn off. I know the great irony of this is that I am complaining about my husband’s critical personality while criticizing him. But I guess I’m very disappointed because I always really disliked his father. And now I feel like I have a father’s version of him living in my own house.”

What you are seeing is normal: There is an old saying that eventually we all become our parents. I don’t believe this. And I really hope it’s not true because I would never want to be like my mother. I love my mom, but her view of her life is very negative, and as a result, people often feel tense around her. Still, sometimes when my reserves are low, I hear something come out of my own mouth and it literally stops me because she sounds like my mother. I’m always disappointed in myself because for years I vowed never to be like my mother.

But when you think about it, how could I not, at least in some way, echo what I grew up hearing? My mother was my same-sex role model for almost 18 years. When you grow up seeing that person and experiencing how they live their lives and handle everyday problems, then at least a little will rub off on you, even if you reject much of their personality.

I suspect this is the case with your husband. This does not make him a bad person. It doesn’t mean that he identifies with his father and has a similar personality or even similar beliefs. In fact, he would doubt it since his previous personality reflected his mother’s.

But it’s all too easy to resort to negative patterns and examples in times of stress, even if that’s the last thing we want or intend to do. I would suspect that her husband’s father comes out on him when he’s anxious, scared, or angry. Her husband may have a stronger mental image of her father in stressful situations, as her mother was not often in stressful situations, she being the kinder and more optimistic of the two.

Understanding this is important because it helps you at least feel some empathy. And it can help you understand that your husband isn’t necessarily a bad person and suddenly doesn’t necessarily have the personality of his father. He hasn’t become his father. He’s just seen this behavior for much of his formative years, so he can’t help it from coming up sometimes.

Think for just a second if you have ever sounded like your own mother. I think we all have it, even if we don’t realize it. I’m not saying this to suggest that it’s okay for her husband to act like her father. I’m just saying it’s natural and very common.

Ending this in a positive way: But the real problem is how to stop it, or at least tone it down a bit so it doesn’t continue to erode your marriage. The first part of my suggestion would be to not sound judgmental when you bring this up. The last thing you want to do is get mad and say something like, “Do you hear yourself? You sound exactly like your dad. And he drives me crazy. You know I hate your dad.” My husband does something in this situation that is quite effective and does not deteriorate our relationship. He brings this to my attention in the form of a joke. My mother is a worrier who always sees everything as a borderline disaster. In some situations, I can be like that. When this comes up and he’s driving my husband crazy, he addresses me using my mother’s name. He will say: “yes (my mother’s name), everything is horrible.”

That’s her way of telling me I’m sounding like my mom. But she says it jokingly. I understand the message. But neither of us is angry. She can try a similar approach and insert her husband’s father’s name when she behaves like him. So if her husband was impatient and her father’s name was Bob, she would say, “Wait Bob, it’s not as bad as that.”

Is there something else?: Finally, if this doesn’t help and you don’t feel relieved when you use humor, ask yourself if this is really the core of the problem. Maybe the voice is just a trigger indicating anger towards her husband for something else. But you can’t fix it until you address what it really is.

1) Drink water after each meal (but not during)

When you drink water with meals, you dilute the hydrochloric acid lining your stomach, which leads to improper digestion (or indigestion).

Proper digestion is essential for your body to extract vitamins and nutrients from the food you eat.

If you can’t digest it, you can’t use it. Where does that leave you?

If you’re used to drinking water with your meals, you think skipping water sounds incredibly difficult, but as you’ll see, the opposite is true.

I thought that too, but it’s actually quite easy. Just decide not to drink water with food. Most fruits/vegetables and carbohydrate foods contain a lot of water, and your body easily absorbs the water found in food.

When you eat, do not have water or near you. Rather, leave it in the fridge.

One big plus is that a glass of ice cold water tastes amazing after a meal.

Be sure to wait at least 30-45 minutes before drinking water after eating, as you want to allow some time for digestion. Drinking water too soon after eating will cause a dilution of hydrochloric acid that interferes with proper digestion of nutrients.

2) Exercise before eating a cheat meal

The #1 time of day you can get away with eating more and worse food is after you work out.

This is because meals high in sugar and carbohydrates cause an insulin spike, which at any other time of the day can lead to fat gain, but after a workout, the insulin spike can speed up muscle recovery. and it will not have a negative impact on your waist (belly). fat storage).

Best to do a full workout at the gym and then go home and eat a cheat meal an hour later.

If hitting the gym isn’t in your plans, you can drop in and do about 50 push-ups, 40 body squats, pull-ups, pull-ups, or triceps wall extensions. Finish your workout by doing at least 30 minutes of jogging outside or 15 to 20 short hill sprints.

3) Read food labels

Avoid any foods with the words: soy, hydrogenated, vegetable oil, high fructose corn syrup, extract, gluten, preservative, aspartame and monosodium glutamate (this will probably be hidden under “natural flavoring” or hydrolyzed vegetable protein).

In fact, you should strive to avoid anything with more than 4-5 ingredients. Say no to Frankenfoods whose ingredient list reads like a book.

You should always avoid packaged processed foods even though sometimes you crave some sauce or some soup or something. Check the labels for the best option. As a fun game, next time you go to the grocery store, try to find 4 items without those nasty ingredients!

You may be surprised at what you have been eating all this time.

4) Eat High Carb/Low Fat or High Fat/Low Carb

To limit the accumulation of abdominal fat, you must limit the consumption of fats or the consumption of carbohydrates. That means if you ever want to eat more carbs, just cut back on your fat intake.

If you are eating high fat that day, reduce your carbohydrate intake. It doesn’t have to be all the way to zero, just turn it down.

Sometimes I hear from wives who actually know the “other woman” or have to interact with her. This is a very difficult situation. But it’s even worse when the other woman “reveals” her affair to a circle of other people to add to your pain. As a result, she’s not only dealing with the affair, her husband, and her, but she also has to deal with strangers who really have nothing to do with the affair. This shouldn’t be anyone else’s business. And yet, the other woman has done it to let strangers know.

A wife might say, “My husband told me about the affair before the other woman told everyone. So I can’t say it took me completely by surprise. But no one else knew until she made her big announcement. And I wouldn’t have told anyone. The other woman is on the same board I’m on at my son’s school. We were in a meeting and she made a ridiculous suggestion, which I rejected. She was only talking about things related to the meeting, but blurted out, ‘oh, she’s just mad that I’ve been sleeping with her husband for two months.’ No one said anything. The room was completely silent. I was so mortified that I left. And I haven’t been able to show my face since then. I left my son and I don’t go to school anymore. I’m so ashamed. I can’t stand the idea that everyone knows and is talking about me, my marriage and my family. I told my husband, but as already broke up, he says there’s not much he can do because he doesn’t want to talk ar with the other woman anyway. I have no idea what I want to do with my marriage. My husband has offered to move me if I find living here too difficult. But I can’t do anything until the school year is over. finished. I don’t want to interrupt my son. That means I’m stuck with everyone I know knowing what happened. I’m resigning from the committee the other woman is on. But I’ll still have to see it. her at school sometimes, as well as the other moms. I don’t know how I’m going to show my face.”

I completely understand why you are so upset. And I find the behavior of the other woman absolutely attractive. But I think it’s SHE who should be mortified, not you. I understand why you feel embarrassed. Many of us feel ashamed, even though we are innocent. You are not the one who did something bad. Understandably, you didn’t stick around to see how the other women at the meeting reacted, but if I had been in that room, it’s the other woman I would have judged harshly, not you. She’s the one who needed attention so badly that she had to bring up something that she had nothing to do with the meeting and she just meant to hurt someone else. I know it’s very easy to assume the worst and fear that the women in the meeting are gossiping about you. But I suspect that maybe they are gossiping about HER. You shouldn’t be the one who can’t go out in public. You should have every right to feel comfortable at your child’s school.

If it were me, I’d contact the chairperson of the meeting or one of the women closest to you. She would tell you that she is considering how best to run the committee, since obviously both you and the other woman will be on it together and it will cause discomfort and tension for everyone involved. I honestly think there’s a chance they’ll ask the other woman to leave, as her comments were completely inappropriate. If you enjoy the committee, why do you have to leave when you did nothing wrong?

I very much understand the tendency to want to hide right now. I also had this inclination. But when you do that, you only make it harder to put two feet in front of the other, keep your head up, and continue living your life. You are not the culprit here. You should be able to live your normal life if you want. Of course, some families feel more comfortable moving out and starting over after an adventure. But if you don’t want to move, you shouldn’t have to. And if you want to stay on the committee, you should be able to. You are not the one who made the comment. You are not the one who cheated on your spouse and announced it in public. So there’s no reason for you to act like the guilty party. I know it’s hard, but I suggest you keep your head up and continue with activities that return you to your comfortable routine. The other woman has disturbed your life enough. There’s no reason to give her the power to make him uncomfortable at her son’s school.
