Obesity has become a huge problem in areas such as the United States and other Western countries. There are plenty of health risks that are coupled with obesity. So, it is imperative that people who have this condition find a way to deal with it. In this article we will explain some very essential characteristics of obesity and some of the things that you can do about it.

It is very upsetting that plenty of children today can be called fat. A condition that was previously a middle age problem now starts at a much younger age. Childhood obesity is usually caused by junk food and the fact that children do not exercise. This is not a desired combination. It is one that causes more and more younger people to experience health problems. It is up to parents to watch for any reasons that their kids are getting obese. Plenty of parents are now wanting schools to serve healthier lunches. Children should be made aware of how essential a good diet and exercise are for your well being. People who eat out often will discover that they slowly gain weight. Sometimes people dine out because it is easier to do so. But, this can make you ignorant to the amount of calories that you eat. Plenty of restaurants like to give you huge portions with tons of high calories. It is convenient and affordable to upsize your food to the larger amount when you go to a fast food restaurant. When you dine at a buffet or salad bar, you can put as much food as you want on your plate These things can all give way to an increasing waist line if you always like to dine out. If you take your lunch to work, eat at home more often and get smaller portions, you stop restaurants from increasing your waistline.

One thing that contributes to obesity is that people do not know how much they are eating. A food journal can help you to control your weight. The critical thing with a food diary is to be thorough and honest, writing down every single calorie you take in every day. If you do this for even a few weeks, you will find out a lot of things about your eating habits and can make a few changes. You might find out that you eat more snacks than you originally thought , or that you always get seconds on everything. This could mean that you calories are practically doubled. Your food diary can be a small notebook or a file on your laptop. As long as you know what you are eating, it should work.

We are noticing a shocking increase in obesity in a lot of countries today. But you can’t do anything about national statistics. You only have control over your own life. You have the freedom to discuss your situation with a medical professional and make your own choices. Choose nutritious foods and exercise. We have look at some of the reasons and effects of obesity in this article. But, you have to make the healthy choices.

56 min: what a save by bravo, the Mexican keeper, top stuff
51 min: So close! In acres of space on the left, Oar crosses to a crowded box and Cahill gets his head to it. But for once it kind of runs down the face, like rain down a window, and it roubles Bravo not. Cahill complains about Jara's attentions, and he did have a fist full of Cahill's shirt.

That is end of the first half and what a great game, these B group games are getting A+ from spectetors
45 min: Free kick from a Dangerous position for Chile, Vidal's through passed the post
42 min: Valdivia from right to Isla on the left, to Dias, Cahill intercepted, pass to Davidson, he is fowled, free kick for Australia
37 min: Diaz storming through Aussi defense, saved for a corner
35 min: Goooaaallll!! Australia scores against the run of play, their Talisman Cahill scored

28 minute: Australia is looking little settled now, ball is hovering around the middle of the field, wait Isla again!! but the shot out of the post
22 min: Isla again from right and Aussies got away, they are looking clueless though
Valdivia scores and Sanchez assists
14 min: Gooooaaaall again ! Chile 2 Australia 0,
12 min: Sanchez Scores for Chile GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!
6 min: Wilkinson from right to Cahill, intercepted well
3 min: Both the teams looking to attack through left flank
Here we go, if this game goes like the earlier one, it will be bliss

Tentu kita tau gan kalo keindahan pantai selatan jawa (khusus nya area jawa timur serta perbatasan wonogiri) memang menyimpan eksotisme tersendiri, ane bikin threat ini sengaja untuk saling berbagi indah nya surga di indonesia, karena "kenapa kita mencari surga di negara lain, kalo kita bisa menemukan surga di negara kita sendiri"


Sebelum nya gan ane mau bahas istilah "Mbolang" buat kalangan di tempat ane, buat teman2 ane istilah ini di ambil dr satu acara TV yang dl sempat jd icon Gan "BOLANG - Bocah Petualang" karena kesamaan hobby kami menjelajah area2 pantai menggunakan motor dan menikmati segala sisi keindahan dari alam yang di ciptakan TUHAN


so langsung aja dech gan kita mulai eksotisme yang pertama dalam rute Mbolang perjalanan kami dari Jogja ke pacitan


1. pantai indrayanti


pantai ini akhir2 ini menjadi Obyek wisata yang sangat wajib dan harus di kunjungi bila agan ke jogja, alasan nya jelas disamping pantai ini bersih, keindahan pantai dan ombak jadi salah satu alasan kenapa pantai ini sangat terkenal di wilayah jogja



2. pantai pok tunggal


kalo pantai ini berada di timur pantai indrayanti, jalan menuju pantai nya pun cukup memacu adrenalin, karena berbatu dan sempit tapi setelah agan berada di sini agan pasti langsung takjub dengan keindahan pantai nya



3. pantai wedi ombo


pantai ini emang jarang kita dengar, tapi pantai ini sendiri memang tergolong sepi, namun deburan ombak, kolam air tawar dan enak nya mancing adalah nilai plus dari pantai ini, untuk ke menuju ke pantai ini kita harus ke timur terus setelah melewati pok tunggal, perjalanan nya emang cukup lama bisa memakan waktu 1 jam sendiri dari pok tunggal 



4. pantai Nompu wonogiri


Pantai ini ada di perbatasan wonogiri timur, letak nya berdekatan dengan pacitan, hanya pantai ini masih masuk ke area wonogiri, disini kita di sajikan hamparan pantai luas dan ombak, pasir nya yang putih dan masih asri nya pantai nompu memang cocok buat agan yang merindukan pantai tenang



5. pantai banyu tibo pacitan


kalo dengar kata banyu tibo (air jatuh) pasti di pikiran kita adalah air terjun, agan emang benar, karena pantai ini emang ada air terjun nya, keindahan nya emang sepadan dengan jalan berbatu yang di lalui untuk sampai ke tempat ini, jarak nya pun tidak terlalu jauh dari pantai nompu menyisiri jalan ke timur arah pacitan (kurang lebih 1 jam)




6. Pantai Klayar (icon nya pacitan)


sudah pasti kalo dengar nama Pantai Klayar agan sudah bisa menebak berada dimana dan bagaimana eksotisme keindahan pantai dan tebing nya yang menjulang tinggi dan besar, pantai klayar emang layak di jadikan icon kota pacitan selain dengan sebutan kota seribu goa, karena keindahan pantai nya memang sudah tidak di ragukan, mungkin untuk penilaianadalah 8.5 dari 10



7. pantai watu karung


ada yang unik daari pantai watu karung ini, karena pantai ini tidak di kenakan biaya parkir dan retribusi, pantai ini tergolong sepi gan, tapi jangan salah gan, keindahan pantai ini emang wah, hamparan karang dan tebing serta pasir nya yang putih emang tidak di ragukan lagi, letak nya di timur pantai kalaya (arah ke pantai srau)



8. Pantai Srau (eksotisme pantai yang sesungguh nya)


terakhir kami menuju ke pantai srau, akses menuju pantai ini tergolong halus di banding pantai2 lain, agan di kenakan retribusi 7rb untuk 1 motor, pantai ini adalah destinasi terakhir sebelum kembali ke jogja, anda akan menemui 2 pantai disini, yaitu pantai srau besar dan pantai srau kecil (untuk melihat sunset)

GOAL! England 1 Italy 2 (Balotelli 49)

46 min: Phil Jagielka knocks it back to Joe Hart from the halfway line

Another shot from Balettoli Ricochet of the post and the ball went away, End of the thrilling first half, we will be back after 15 minutes
What a pass from Pirlo, through the defence, Balettolli received the ball inside the box, chipped in to goal and saved from Goal line by Jagaika

45 min : two minutes of Stoppage time, what has been a wonderful first half 

Wonderful play by Rooney on the left-hand side as he breaks free of the Italian defence and picks the Liverpool forward out at the back post. He follows in and is left with a simple right-footed finish past Sirigu. All square!

37 min: GOOOOOOaaaallll!! England equalize!! WOnderful goal from Sturridge
 That's been coming. From an Italian corner, the Juventus midfielder takes advantage of a wonderful Andrea Pirlo dummy to shoot low and hard through a thicket of legs and into the bottom left-hand corner. England are in trouble. 

34 min : Goooall!! Italy scores 
28 min : CANDREVA (Italy) sees an effort go off target.
24 min : Welbeck touches the ball past Paletta and passes in towards Sterling in the centre of the penalty area. Barzagli slides in and deflects the ball, which loops up and over the approaching Sterling. Out for a corner, which is forced behind again.

18 min: Pirlo and Verratti combine in the centre-circle for Italy, before Pirlo sends De Rossi on his way with a short pass. Italy seem very content to wander about, keeping possession and advancing in their own sweet time. 

12 min:  WELBECK (England) sees an effort go off target.

9 min: Jordan Henderson is doing a decent job of trying to close down Andrea Pirlo thus far, but Italy are enjoying the lion's share of possession. Italy right-back Matteo Darmian is looking a real threat, making a lot of forward runs and giving Leighton Baines plenty to think about. 

6 min: Jordan Henderson's just gone close, forcing Salvatore Sirigu in the Italian goal to dive low and to his left and parry the ball with a fine drive from outside the penalty area. This is a promising start from England. 
5 min : SIRIGU (Italy) pulls off a save.

3 min : Sterling close, and the ball flies over the post 

And we're off: Mario Balotelli gets the ball rolling for Italy. 
Italian legendary goal keeper Buffon is missing this game 

The players take to the field and God Save the Queen rings around the Arena Amazonia, with the Three Lions players passionately singing along.

3.09: GOOOOOOOL! Italy back in front. 2-1. Just minutes into the second half and Mario Balotelli pounces. The AC Milan striker heads home a right wing cross from close range.
Balotelliiiii 1-1 #eng #ita ·
2.48: HALF-TIME: England 1-1 Italy. A brilliant game of football this. The punters think so too.
2.38: GOOOOOOOOOL! And England are level! What a response. Sterling's wonderful through ball sends Wayne Rooney clear on the left and his cross is met by Daniel Sturridge at the back post. Lovely goal.
Daniel Sturridge GOAL! Get In 1-1 #ENG ·
2.36: GOOOOOOOOOL! Italy lead and what a goal it is. A move straight off the training ground. A corner from the right is played out to Pirlo who lets the ball run through his legs. Claudio Marchisio is in acres of space, taking a touch before driving home.
Demarkesports's post on Vine ·
2.31: Should we be surprised?
PASS MAP: Andrea Pirlo hasn't quite unlocked the door yet. 92% pass accuracy though. #ITA http://t.co/yAwJXxK9HW · Squawka Football
The coolest man in Football, Andrea Pirlo http://t.co/XEPiDE6JqO · GeniusFootball
2.24: England the better side so far. Sterling and Danny Welbeck causing Italy's aging backline all sorts of problems with their pace and movement. Remains 0-0 though.
And another goes one step further...
2.05: Ooooooh! Raheem Sterling flashes a drive from fully 25-yards into the side netting. Half the stadium thought it was in. As did this guy...
2.04: We're underway...

Media Strategies for Nonprofits

From the 2014 Mexican American Farmworker Organization (MAFO) Conference

At Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, we have a proactive approach to utilizing the media. We do this with three primary objectives in mind:
To Educate: We want to educate people on their legal rights, on systemic problems affecting the community, on who we are and what we do.
To Advocate: Sometimes we want to build political pressure on a (potential) defendant; sometimes we want to build pressure to encourage action from others who have the power to help.
To Cultivate: Bringing in new donors, volunteers, or even clients is always a top priority.

Your objectives should be similar. Being on tv isn't enough -- ask yourself what you want media strategies to accomplish and how they should advance your organization.
Good stories follow a basic narrative -- the fairytale narrative. That means there should be:
A villain -- someone doing something bad
A victim -- someone hurt by the villain
A hero -- preferably you, the person who comes in to save the day
An event/opportunity -- a catalyst that means the situation matters right now
Good stories also have reasonable and well thought out goals. Being on the frontpage of the New York Times is hard and not necessarily where you want to be depending on your intended audience.  Reasonable goals include educating a population on their rights, building political pressure to push for a specific outcome, and raising awareness of your organization and its issues.
Good stories also have good spokespeople. A good spokesperson is someone who is prepared and practiced. They should know their messages, know how to answer questions to tie back to those messages, and not have any personal baggage that could hinder those messages. They should also make a good visual for the story.
Good stories also embrace appropriate vehicles to advance their goals. If you're trying to reach out to you, social media is probably going to be part of your plan. If you're trying to influence a political process, then major daily newspapers will be important. When we're trying to reach out to low-income Spanish speakers, we know we have to get on the evening news. Go where your audience is.
And finally, good stories are not hiding anything. If there is information you are trying to hide from reporters or are hoping won't come out then you need to rethink your strategy and whether this situation is appropriate for a media campaign.
Selling stories to the media can be hard. Many reporters get several pitches everyday and you have to make sure that your story stands apart from the rest to be the one that they chose. There are many ways you can make sure that your story is attractive to reporters. If it's new or an exclusive, be sure to mention that. If the media can play a role in fixing a problem, let them know. If you have a local example of a larger issue and if you have a client/advocate who can serve as the face to a story, that helps tremendously as well.
And finally, it's important that you know the rules of working with the media. This includes your organization's policy regarding talking to the press and revealing information. If your organization doesn't have a policy, they should. But there are also basic rules to know about how to interact with reporters -- everything from never assuming things are off the record to setting up good visuals.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

The company says it has designed the one device consumers need to be productive and consume media. The Surface Pro 3 is a full-powered PC that has tablet-like weight and size.

"This is the tablet that can replace your laptop," said Panos Panay, head of Microsoft's (MSFT) Surface division, at an event in New York. "Today we take the conflict away, and I'm absolutely sure of it."

The Surface Pro 3 comes with a 12-inch screen -- about an inch and a half bigger than its Surface Pro 2 predecessor -- and it weighs less than the smallest Apple (AAPL) MacBook Air. At 9.1 mm, it's 14% thinner than the Surface Pro 2 and the thinnest product with an Intel (INTC) Core chip on the market. The Surface Pro 3 is roughly the thickness of the iPad 2 -- though it's 18% thicker than the iPad Air.

The tablet PC also got a price reduction. If you are planning to get a tablet this year, you are one of many making this decision. In 2013, 40% of computer purchases were tablets. It is expected that in 2014, 50% of computer purchases will be tablets. We have put together some of the very best information from the web to assist you in your tablet choice.It will start at $799, cheaper than the $999 price point for the Surface Pro 2.

Review: The Surface Pro 3 is a good PC, but it's not an iPad replacement

Microsoft showed off a number of programs designed specifically for the new Surface, including Adobe (ADBE) Photoshop and the Final Draft screenwriting software.

As with previous Surfaces, the device comes with a super-thin keyboard and touchpad mouse, and it works with a stylus pen for freehand note-taking.

Panay noted that 96% of people who own an iPad also own a laptop. But Microsoft has struggled to convince consumers that the Surface is the answer to that problem.

Surface started out as an xperia 32 GB tablet unmitigated disaster for Microsoft, and the company was forced to write down $900 million worth of inventory due to poor sales a year ago. The Surface has performed better since then, as sales grew by 50% to $500 million last quarter.

Microsoft was also late to the tablet game, debuting the Surface in late 2012 -- nearly three years after Apple unveiled the iPad.



Though the Surface has gotten mixed reviews, its harshest critic is perhaps Apple CEO Tim Cook. In 2012, Cook joked, "You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but you know those things are not going to be probably be pleasing to the user."

Microsoft fired back on Tuesday.

"We're not interested. When you finally purchase a tablet, you have to pay attention to how the tablet will connect to the rest of the world. Different than a standard computer, you do not have the option to have a RJ-45 connection. Tablets connect wirelessly. You can use a Wi-Fi signal from a router at home that is connected to a broadband connection. You can use a public Wi-Fi connection, such as one provided in Hilton. Or you can buy a tablet that also connects through a mobile network that is run by one of the telephone companies such as T-Mobile. If you choose to make use of your tablet while traveling, then the latter is a better option.in making refrigerators and toasters," said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. "Take the best of the tablet and laptop ... that's the device we wanted to create."
