  Next, woman over 40 who went to lose weight will frequently over exercise and underrated! I see this mistake so often and it backfires every time. Your body perceives this as 2 major stressors on the body and your metabolism slows down to preserve body fat.

  The key is listening to your body. Eat when you’re hungry not “starved”, and stop when you are satisfied, not “stuffed”. Try to include small frequent meals, that are high in protein and vegetables with a small amount of healthy fat, to fuel your body evenly throughout the day. Carbohydrates can be eaten in small portions as long as the meal is also high in protein.

  Try to include strengthening exercises at least 3 times a week, and regular exercise 20-60 minutes per day. Be a body in motion! Move whenever you can!

  Are We Alone? For Kids

  David Lehman, Project Manager, Retired from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Educational

  Imagine looking up at the stars and wondering: “Is someone out there wondering about us too?” Scientists ask that question every day! But first, they have to figure out what life really is — anything that grows, eats, and changes. To search for life, we use giant telescopes on Earth and even floating in space! We send brave robots on missions, like the Mars Sample Return to bring back pieces of Mars, and the Europa Clipper to explore a moon covered in ice! Scientists also use the Drake Equation, a kind of space treasure map, to guess how many alien civilizations might be out there. But there’s a puzzle called the Fermi Paradox — if life should be everywhere, why haven’t we seen it yet? Our plan? Build better telescopes, explore more worlds, and never give up! Maybe you will be the space explorer who finds the answer! MORE >

They will discover strategies for helping digital natives—and themselves—recognize manipulation, question assumptions, and make more informed choices in an era shaped by AI and algorithmic feeds.

  Will Technology Kill Your Commoditized Practice?

  Vic Clement, Principal, Financial Essentials 4 Life

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Financial

  Technologies such as block chain and artificial intelligence are beginning to intrude on the delivery of commoditized professional services. Although the technologies have been around for some time, we're just beginning to see the tip of the accelerated commoditization iceberg. MORE >

  It's difficult for many professionals to imagine, but just as robotics replaced humans in low level manufacturing tasks, artificial intelligence and machine learning will replace humans in low level, high commodity, information-based tasks. It's only a matter of time, and that timeline is shrinking. The most readily visible examples are tax returns, insurance, medical diagnoses and prescriptions, investments, and others.

  Vic Clement discusses methods of redefining your role and transforming your practice to decommoditize and compete at a level that information technology can't reach - the human level. Taking a deep dive into the modern psyche, Vic shares his experience and lessons learned from transforming his own practice and, thereby, improved his client's lives and, more importantly, his own life by building his practice around his own aspirations.
