Using a Fitbit device in your daily life will be very useful. You can track your daily health data that can help in maintaining your health. Instead of health, we should also care about the life of the device itself. There are many things you can notice after seven weeks of using a Fitbit flex device. We know that Fitbit can help you in getting rid of the LC that is lonely conservative. It is not sure about for how long it will be there for your help. Ass Fitbit is made to work for several years, but you might notice some changes good or bad after some weeks.

It is not guaranteed that for how long the device will work. It maybe gives you a positive response or negative response after some months. It might tell you incorrect steps after several days of usage and much more.  

Here are some pros and cons that can help you in knowing about its future 

Before discussing the pros and cons here, we are going to know why it is necessary to be discussed. Changes in the Fitbit might lead you to track poor health data, which is not good for your health. There should be accurate data tracking so that you can come to know about how to fit you are. Here are some essential things for you to know about- 

Things that are loved by Fitbit-

Stepmothers do not have the best of reputations, thanks in part to fairy tales and films where they are portrayed as harsh and unfeeling towards their stepchildren. In reality, the role of the stepmother varies greatly. It can be anywhere between minimal contact with her husband’s children during holidays or weekends, to 24 hour care for children who live with her and her husband.

How can Stepmothers successfully Fit into Blended Families? #1 The loyalty issue

When a woman marries a man who already has children, she should be warned that life will not always be easy for her. Even if she had a good relationship with her stepchild ren prior to the marriage, they may not feel the same way towards her once she is married to their father and has more control over their lives. Many stepchildren become resentful of their father’s new wife and feelings of jealousy and insecurity may creep in, particularly if their natural mother is still living and continues to play a significant role in their lives. The reason for this change often boils down to issues of loyalty. The stepchildren will continue to feel love and loyalty towards their natural mother as well as their father. But they may find it difficult to become reconciled to their father’s new marriage, as it may seem to them to take away from the loyalty to their mother. The stepmother must tread carefully around the loyalty issue and not try to take over as a replacement “mother”. She will never replace her stepchildren’s mother, however much they grow to love her in her own right. The two roles are separate and this is how a

lot of children will view both women.

How can Stepmothers successfully Fit into Blended Families? #2 They respect the natural mother’s memory
A wise stepmother will be careful to respect the memory of the natural mother of her stepchildren. This rule equally applies whether the mother is still living or not. That means that she will never speak down about her stepchildren’s mother. Even if the natural mother behaved badly towards their husband in the past, that is no reason to dig up the past and disrespect her memory around her children. She will always be the mother of the stepchildren, however badly she may have behaved.

How can Stepmothers successfully Fit into Blended Families? #3 Build up a relationship with the stepchildren

Successful stepmothers do their best to form a good relationship with their husband’s children. As the natural parent, it is primarily up to the husband to decide how he wants his children to be disciplined. His rules and regulations will be more familiar to the children and as such, the stepmother can learn of how her husband deals with issues of discipline and routine and try to follow his lead. As time passes and she begins to play a bigger role in the stepchildren’s lives, she can also discipline them. This is more effective if both husband and wife are in agreement. A husband who negates his wife’s discipline will not help her to earn the respect and esteem of the stepchildren.

How can Stepmothers successfully Fit into Blended Families? #4 Patience!

Some couples mistakenly believe that marriage will create an instant bond of love and affection between a woman and her husband’s children. This is simply not true. They need to get to know one another before they begin to feel like family members. It is usually easier if the children are babies or infants. But older children will have longer memories and will not be quite so willing to accept a new stepmother into their lives. Patience is indeed a virtue. For instance, it will be easier for mothers to be accepted in the family if she does things to help stepchildren like creating home sensory gym if a child has a learning problem.

In conclusion, stepfamilies have to deal with many of the same issues as traditional families do. But one of the differences is that being a stepmother is not a natural task, and it does not come with clear cut instructions for success! Stepmothers are important members of a family. Over time, many stepchildren grow to love and respect their stepmother.

If you’re under the impression that musical theater and Broadway are dead and buried you obviously haven’t seen 2010’s ensemble cast of “The Color Purple.” For me it was hard to imagine such an incredible film could be adapted to the musical stage. After all, we’re talking about a Steven Spielberg film with very heavy emotional undertones and overtones. Clearly I was wrong. With the music and lyrics by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray, and an incredibly strong vocal cast this production soared higher than I ever would have imagined. Similar to this theatre there is Disney Performing Arts Programme that you can enroll into if you want to learn more about performing arts and the history of theatre.

For those one or two people that don’t know the backdrop of the story or didn’t see the film; in a nutshell: this tale revolves around a young girl named Celie (played brilliantly by Whoopi Goldberg in the film) her life of betrayal, abuse, lack of self worth and loss. Now if that doesn’t sound a ‘feel good’ experience I don’t know what does. The incredible part of it is, woven throughout is an undeniable sense of hope. It is that hope and belief that shines so brightly in the musical production.

Dayna Jarea Dentzler is astonishing in the stage production as Celie. Her voice constantly brings to the forefront a whirlwind of emotion. She takes us on this journey with her beginning at the age of 14, through adulthood and into her later years. There is no great ‘Hollywood make-up’ transformation. No movie magic here, just raw talent and a gray wig. Yes Hollywood, sometimes that’s all you really need. Traci Allen is Nettie, her sister whom is sent away at an early age. It is that love that is the driving force in Celie’s life, the only one constant that she can depend on. And we as the audience begin to depend on it as well. Pam Trotter as Sofia (Oprah Winfrey in the film) is a hoot from the moment she steps on or should I say stomps on the stage. There is a playfulness to her character and yet there is attitude for days. Mark Hall as ‘Pa,’ and Edward C. Smith as “Mister,” are the heavies. There is no room for love these two whether they are on the musical stage or forever captured in film. Taprena Augustine as “Shug Avery,” is the equivalent of the nightclub singer coming back into town whom every man wants and every woman envies, whether they want to admit it or not. She ignites the fire onstage and her musical numbers especially the risque, “Push Da Button,” definitely will have your attention. Shug truly holds the soul of the show and Celie’s one true love in her hands.

Each of these performers is seasoned veterans on the stage. Each brings incredible heart to their characters. They are not merely players in the play. They effortlessly live and breathe their roles which is why watching them is so believable. The scenic design by John Lee Beatty is simple and easy on the eyes. One of the most distracting things on the live stage is over-the-top lighting and staging that is so high tech you don’t know where to look. This production does exactly what’s it’s meant to do – focus on the performers not the ropes and pullies of this wall going this way and that door going that way.

My favorite moments in the show are wrapped around three songs. “Hell No!” a very tongue-in-cheek kick some butt Sofia number. “Too Beautiful For Words,” and “What About Love?” Yes, I admit it; I’m a sap for a well crafted and beautifully sung love song. These two for me encompass the genesis of Celie’s character and her realization of the love she’s been hoping and praying for all her life. Both songs are tender moments and will stick in your memory long after you’ve left the theater.

I have never been a Broadway person. I’ve never really gotten the ‘okay they’re breaking into song now,’ mentality. With the exception of “Jesus Christ Superstar,” and “Evita,” (both billed as Rock Operas) admittedly I just gon’t get it. That being said, I wouldn’t have missed “The Color Purple,” for the world. My own narrow preconceived notion of what to expect from a live show was completely shattered and blown away. I honestly can’t tell you what I expected but I know I didn’t expect this. A remarkable show, incredible music, vocalists that can really sing, and two hours and forty-five minutes of pure joy and wonder. Who knows, I may become Broadway bound after all.

Looking for ways to increase sales, but need to hold the line on marketing expenses? Upselling is a sales technique that small businesses can initiate to effectively increase profits by using their current customer base.

I was introduced to the concept of upselling as a teenager in the 1960s. My parents owned a small grocery store, and their competition included two supermarkets within three blocks. To compete and stay profitable, my parents had to be very creative when it came to sales techniques. It would take me years, and a business degree, to realize how effectively they incorporated the concepts of upselling and cross-selling.

All of the clerks were trained to upsell and cross-sell. The two techniques are often confused. Cross-selling is the method of suggesting an additional, often unrelated, product or service for a customer. For example, asking a customer at the checkout counter if she needed milk or lunch meat to go with the loaf of bread in the basket. Very often, she did.

On the other hand, upselling is the process of informing customers of the benefits of increasing or upgrading a product or service. For example, in our grocery store, if customers bought two six-packs of soda pop, they would get a free ice cream bar. It was amazing how often customers would pick up the second six-pack for free ice cream.

The grocery store averaged 17 complete inventory turnovers a year. That was quite an accomplishment back then. Upselling was an especially effective sales tool that contributed to the success of the business.

What worked a half a century ago is still effective today. Looking for ways to successfully incorporate upselling in your small business? Here are some tips:

1. Develop a company-wide sales plan that includes upselling. Include each step you will take to implement an effective upselling strategy.

2. Train everyone in the company to upsell. Clerks, customer service staff, receptionists, janitors – everyone should be well trained, confident and understand that upselling offers true benefits for the customer. You should also incorporate ticket management systems with your business operation. Ticket management systems offer convenient tagging options.

3. Treat all customers with respect and don’t “oversell” your products or services. Be honest with customers; understand their limitations. Work with them to get the best possible product in their hands, within their budget. Treat your customers well for repeat trade and increased profits.

4. Offer relevant products and services. Know what your customers want. It does no good to offer higher level products or services if customers are not interested. They will just slip out the door and never return.

5. When upselling, keep it simple. Complicated offers confuse customers. That’s a sure-fire way to lose them.

6. Know when a customer really means no. Sometimes you just cannot convince a customer to upgrade. That’s okay. Do not pressure the customer. If you continue to treat the customer with respect, he or she likely will remain a good customer.

Use your current customer base to increase sales and profits by implementing a strong upselling program. Your customers will benefit, and your business will be stronger.

It is obvious that people come in many shapes and sizes. Each one unique , truly no two people are the same. That being said, people are often categorized by their bone structure. Some have large bones, some medium and others are small boned. While bone structure can influence how much someone weighs, it is not an “excuse ” for being overweight and obese. Clearly these are totally different things. Obesity is one of the most common cause for back pain. Which is why you should always focus on your diet and do regular exercise. This is where you can take help from back pain in Austin TX. You get custom made diet plan and muscle strengthening exercises.

In the USA obesity is becoming a growing problem. Some consider it to be at epidemic levels. And even more alarming is the number of children that are considered obese. Why is this happening? Many people blame the food industry for allowing addictive ingredients in food products. These ingredients come in the form of additives, and these additives are believed to increase apetite . While this is only theory and speculation, what’s not speculation is the fact that children and young adolescents are becoming obese at an ever increasing rate.

Obesity can lead to other serious health problems especially when it starts at such a young age. One of these problems is that being overweight contributes significantly to back pain. Back pain is so common in American society that we often just brush it off as a fact of life. However, chronic back pain should be taken seriously.

Back pain can literally affect every part of the body. Beginning with the bones, muscles, joints, nerves, and nervous system. It is like a domino effect where one problem contributes to the next and the next. It can also become a vicious cycle. Obesity leads to back pain, which creates an situation of inactivity, and the inactivity leads to increased obesity which then again creates greater back pain! One is creating more complications for the other. Also, the inactivity decreases muscle tissue which in turn slows down the metabolic rate.

While it is simple to see why many could become discouraged in this situation, it is important to look at how taking small steps can improve the situation dramatically. By taking part in some activity everyday on a consistent basis, this can stimulate the muscle tissue and decrease muscle loss. Weight bearing activities such as walking are excellent choices. Of course anyone with back pain should avoid lifting or straining their back.

Simply by walking a minimum of 15 minutes a day, the process of fat loss can begin! And the cycle can be reversed. By increasing a bit of muscle tissue, and increasing metabolism, your body will be able to burn fat. Even by losing a few pounds at first, the pressure on the joints and body can feel liberating! The back pain will diminish and then you will be able to continue to scale up your walking even more. So in this case causing a positive chain reaction.

Setting small daily goals can help to mentally overcome the overwhelming feeling of obesity. Taking it one day at a time, and taking baby steps can really make a significant difference. And more importantly it creates a habit. If you can stick with something for 21 days it creates a new habit. Therefore, commit yourself to walking everyday for 21 days and see how your life and your body can change.

These changes in your body will include stronger muscles, less fat, better mental clarity and so much more! And as your muscles become stronger, the pressure on your back will become lighter, and the spine will feel happy again! It is also advised to add abdominal exercises to your walking routine which will significantly increase the strength of your abdominal muscles, thus taking even more pressure off your back. Stretching is also something you should add to your walking or exercise routine.

.It really can be simple! Just take a step and start today. Regardless of what activity you choose to combat obesity and back pain, it is important to consult your health care professional prior to beginning your program. This way, your progress can be monitored and also your physician may give you special guidelines to follow such as heart rate and length of exercise time.

You will have to start spending money soon. Keep in mind, you have your notebook to write down various costs, such as supplies, lease payments, and marketing costs.

First and foremost let’s be reasonable. Men generally prefer a woman who is not fat and for this reason we can look up to https://njcenterforcoolsculpting.com/arms/ for more information on this topic. This includes all of you ladies who would otherwise describe yourselves as: voluptuous, curvy, thick, full-figured, plus-size, and big boned. I have to put my disclaimer out there, not ALL men prefer slim women, however, you aren’t as desirable to “cream of the crop” types of men if you are indeed obese. Some men might find us attractive behind closed doors, but most of the time, we end up either the honey under the sheets or with a fat guy. If you are like me, you might like guys who aren’t fat or have that teddy bear quality. I prefer slim guys. Hey, lots of slim girls date and even marry our chubby counterparts, but if we happen to marry a slim guy, he might spend most of his time trying to get us to lose the weight. Now, if you find yourself in this category and you plan on patronizing any kind of bar or night club, or lounge (not including those only catering to big women or places that are predominantly Black) these are the guidelines you should follow.

1. Keep the size of the group of women you go out with small. Don’t go with a bunch of girls, you will get lost in the shuffle.

2. Never go out with a woman of the same race. Doesn’t matter what she looks like, if she is thinner than you, she will get more attention and “play”. It’s that simple. If she happens to be cuter than you in the face AND thinner than you, well you can just forget about getting any attention from the opposite sex when you are in her company. See, men a clubs/bars tend to put women in categories based on their race while on the prowl. If they see two women together, and they are BOTH black or of the same race they will categorize them as “two black girls or those two asian girls” . He then will proceed to pick the most attractive of the two. The thin one will get picked hands down (unless he is a chubby chaser). Try to go out with a girlfriend who is of a different race. Think about it. If you are Asian and thick and she is Black and thin..you WILL NOT attract the same kind of man. Therefore, there is no competition and if no man asks you to dance well, you can’t blame it on that. 🙂

3. Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative. Please dress for your size. Wear things that will bring out your best features but don’t embarrass yourself. PLEASE. You make it worse for the rest of us big girls.

4. Get used to men not buying you drinks. In all the years of my singlehood, while I have gone out to many bars and clubs and at different weights in my life, a man has NEVER EVER EVER bought me a drink. EVER. While my skinny friends can just walk up to the bar and instantly get offered drinks from guys. Why? My ending thoughts are this: They really hate fat girls don’t they? It’s hard enough to be single, but God Bless you if you happen to be obese and single. Even if you are attractive, smart, funny and just plain nice. You will still get overlooked until you do what you have to do. In order to avoid those feelings of rejection every time you do happen to go out, well, losing weight would probably be a good decision. Ugghhhh.

5. Be prepared, you will never get discounts on your car insurance, or on anything else for that matter. Hot people have instant access to bargaining power!

6. Stop refering to yourself as a BBW (big beautiful woman) if you know damn well that you are not. Just because you are fat, doesn’t mean you get to automatically refer yourself as a BBW.

7. And finally, don’t wallow your sorrows in drugs and alcohol and other dumb things like that. There is nothing uglier than a big girl in a drunken stupor in public. Wait until you get home.

Okay, you are right, being fat doesn’t mean you are a total reject or that you should feel bad about yourself. But, let’s be real, it’s just not healthy. I know it, you know it. No matter what anyone says, you cannot convince me that you are fat and healthy. I know some people think Beyonce is fat; these people clearly have problems. But, I am talking about realistically. If you are obese, you know it (unless you have an eating disorder or mental issues) In general, being thinner (not skinny!!) makes life a little bit easier. But, this guide should be able to help you out in the meantime.

First, it is best to price as much merchandise as possible. The more you price, the better your sales will be. Let the customers see the regular price and the sale price. Here a few tips for a high impact promotional sale.

The best time to run is before one of your peak periods. For example, you can have a sale in November until Thanksgiving. You should have the high impact sale for at least 3 weeks and 4 or 5 could be even better depending how much old inventory you have. You should have at least one high impact sale a year, but may want to consider 2 per year. This is addition to any regular sales you currently run in your retail store.

Everything on the store should be on sale. If you are at keystone, the minimum discount should be 10% off. Here is a suggested breakdown of ad prices:

10% off – Should be about 10-15 % of the store

20% off – Should be about 70-80 % of the store

50% off – Should be about 10-15% of the store

Your best-sellers should be 10% off. You should run 2-3 items for added discounts during the promotion for one week at a time. Normally, I would take some of the 20% off items and run them half off.

Normally, taking discounts of 30-40% do not produce more in sales. That is why; the discounts go from 20-50% off. Also, if you make signs, studies have shown that ½ off sells better than 50% off. If you had some old items or slightly damaged, you might want to consider 75% off regular retail. Most likely, you will be losing money, but the benefit is turning dead inventory to cash. With this cash, you can buy better selling items. The key to running a retail store is turning the merchandise.

If your products have a lower gross margin than keystone, you need to makes some adjustments to the discount amounts, but try to have most of your items still at 20% off with the help of Best Medical Website Design Firm, which can provide you with all necessary information about your business. You may want to use a lower discount, but if you dilute it too much, the promotional sale will not be effective. Too many retail owners get hung up with gross profit percents than gross profit dollars. The purpose of having this sale before a peak period is to gain new customers for your peak period.

What is the best time to start this sale? I would say for most stores, it is Tuesday. Many stores can use Sunday  amp; Monday for pricing. Many stores are closed Sunday anyway, but there is no way, you are going to give up a day’s business. If you stay open trying to price on Monday, it will never get done. Many customers on Monday will come back for the sale and will spend much more than originally planned.

I would price all the 10% and half off merchandise first. In case, you do not get finished, you can have signs and tell the customers anything not priced is 20% off regular retail. Make sure you signed anything that is marked half off and would be wise to have a display of something right near the entrance. You want the customer’s to get a perception of great pricing. Also, do not put signs on merchandise that is 10% off unless, it is a high ticket item showing regular and sale price.

How do you advertise this sale? I would either have a banner in front of your store or several signs that say” Everything on Sale”. You would be able to reuse these for future sales also. Even though it’s gaudy, colors such as Hot Pink can be seen far away and drive curiosity. You could place an ad in the local paper Monday and have radio advertising Monday. Also, send a direct mailing to your store mailing list on Saturday. Basically, tell them everything is on sale for a limited time and when the sale starts.

High impact promotional sales ran correctly can help a struggling business or create cash for the busy season ahead. Go ahead and have a high impact promotional sale, you may be surprised with the results.

Unfortunately, how your credit score is calculated is similar to asking for the secret recipe for the Colonel’s fried chicken. In short, the people behind your credit score, The Fair Issac Corporation, aren’t going to let you in on their little secret. They guard this information to keep competitors at bay, knowing that if they reveal the exact credit score formula and let them to know what is the best same day cash loans website, how it works, they will lose their edge and jeopardize their dominant position in the marketplace.

What does this mean for you, the consumer? There are a few things you can and should know about your FICO score to increase your credit score and make yourself worthy of the credit you want.

First of all, your FICO score will fall somewhere in the range of 300-850. As you may have guessed, the higher your credit score is on the range of scores, the better. Most lenders prefer that you have a credit score above 700.

Second, we know that FICO sets credit scores based on different types of consumers. For example, the formulas take into account the credit risk of a 21-year-old male with new credit versus a 73 year-old female with little credit. The credit risk is totally different and is part of the credit formula that FICO keeps under lock and key.

But, they have given us a benchmark of what details and how much weight they have in the final calculation of the FICO scoring formula. Instead of trying to steal the code, we should focus on the five factors that we can control. These five factors include:

Payment history – How you pay your bills makes up 35% of your FICO score. It goes without saying that paying your bills on time will have a positive impact on your credit score, while paying your bills late or not at all will have a dramatically negative impact. Even paying one bill late will cause your FICO score to take a hit, so make sure you’re paying your bills on time. If you’ve made mistakes in the past and haven’t always paid your bills on time, don’t fret. If you change your ways and pay on time, your FICO score will eventually reflect that. Late payments have less of an impact on your credit score once time has passed. For example, a late payment two years ago will matter less in your current FICO score than a late payment last month.

Debt to Income Ratio – The amount of debt you have versus the amount of money you earn makes up another 30% of your FICO score. Financial experts say that you debt-to-income ratio, or DTI shouldn’t exceed 36%. This means that your debt load should not be more than 36% of your monthly gross income. So, if you’re looking to improve your credit score, you should work on reducing your debt as much as possible.

Credit History – The length of your credit history makes up 15% of your overall FICO score. The credit score formula calculated by FICO wants to see that you have a history of using credit wisely, so it rewards this. That’s why older adults generally have higher credit scores than people in their twenties: they have had credit for a longer period of time and this factor weighs positively in their favor.

Credit Applications – The number of credit accounts you apply for has an impact on your credit score as well. This factor makes up 10% of your credit score. Why? Because applying for many credit cards at one time signals that you are trying to get access to a lot of credit that you may not be able to pay back. You will help improve your credit score by applying for credit only when it’s appropriate.

Types of Credit – The types of credit accounts you makes up the final 10% of your credit score. The FICO credit formula weighs your credit accounts differently. For instance, a revolving credit account is weighed differently than an installment loan like a mortgage. Having diverse credit accounts, while maintaining good payment histories, will help increase your credit score in the long run.

While it’s true that you don’t have complete control over your FICO score, you do have control on your actions. By maintaining a good payment history, keeping your DTI low and applying for credit sparingly, you’re on your way to a high FICO score.
