<p>Hi! I’m Rob. I have a degree in Mathematics from Cambridge University and you might call me a bit of coding geek.</p>
<p>After building websites for friends and family for fun, I soon learned that web development was a very lucrative career choice. I gave up my successful (and sometimes stressful) job as a teacher to work part time and today, couldn’t be happier.</p>

<p>You wouldn’t believe the freedom that being a web developer offers. Sign up and find out for yourself why so many people are taking and recommending this course. &nbsp;I genuinely believe it’s the best on the market and if you don’t agree, I’ll happily refund your money.</p>
<p><em>“If you’re looking for a genuinely effective course that gears you up to competently build polished, professional websites that people will want to pay you for, I personally guarantee this is the ONLY course for you.” Rob Percival</em></p>
<p>Sign up to <strong>The Complete Web Developer Course 2.0</strong> and join me in this amazing adventure today.</p>
<p><em>“The course is excellent. I haven't completed even half the course but couldn't wait to share my review based on the experience so far. This is just the perfect recipe for students who have little or no knowledge of the technologies required to develop websites. (It also helps the students who know them). The one thing that impressed me a lot was the motto - Learn by Doing. I personally knew these technologies as I had studied them in college but I really learned them while doing this course!! And there's the difference. The practical hands on knowledge is really helpful. Kudos! Keep up the good work :).”</em> -Veeresh Kamble</p>

<p>Hi, my name is Fabian Rosshirt. I've been a professional landscape photographer and Lightroom instructor <strong>for over 7 years</strong> and I'm currently teaching <strong>more than 15,000 people</strong>. Welcome to my Lightroom course!</p>
<p><strong>Get more out of your photos and take your image processing skills to the next level.</strong> You will learn effective and professional techniques, how you can edit your RAW files perfectly in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC.</p>
<p>We will also shortly Adobe Photoshop for the final sharpening and a special effect. In today's world,<strong> image processing is necessary to get stunning photographs</strong> and to take advantage of the technical possibilities. And the best: It also can make a lot of fun to edit photos - if you know how to do that. Let me show this to you!</p>
<p><strong>How is this course structured?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Basics:</strong> At the beginning I introduce you to Adobe Lightroom. I will show you all the important features and explain how to import, edit and export photos. I won't bore you with unimportant theory. We will jump right into many practical exercises after the introduction.</p>
<p><strong>Part 01:</strong> Now I present you my workflow by showing you a complete processing of the first image. Here you will learn how to edit your photos, step-by-step and with a detailed explanation.</p>
<p><strong>Part 02:</strong> In this section I will show you the development of a night-photo. You will learn how to steer the viewer's eye and increase the dynamics by using visual effects. Here we will also briefly use Photoshop to add a special effect.</p>
<p><strong>Part 03:</strong> Bad weather does not mean bad photo: Have you ever made that experience? Sometimes you really do not have the right conditions for taking an optimal photo. But unfortunately we can not influence the weather. I show you how to make a great picture out of a supposedly boring photo. Discover the power that Adobe Lightroom Classic CC offers to you.</p>
<p><strong>Part 04: </strong>In this part we will repeat a lot of what you have learned so far and apply the knowledge to a fourth photo. You'll see that with my tricks you can get so much more out of your RAW files. We also talk about the importance of colors in landscape photography.</p>
<p><strong>Part 05:</strong> This lesson will be amazing. We will edit together my most successful landscape image. With that photo I have won 2 competitions and it also got published in a famous magazine. I tell you all my secrets and explain to you how I achieved that spectacular photo out of the RAW image captured with the camera.</p>
<p><strong>Part 06: </strong>Autumn pictures need a special treatment because of their colors, that they catch the viewer and still look natural. I'll show you everything you need to know to edit your waterfall photos with Lightroom.</p>
<p><strong>Bonus:</strong> You will receive 11 Lightroom Presets, which I have specially developed for you. With these, you can give your images a whole new look with just one click. In addition I give you all the RAW files I use in this course for explanation. This allows you to put the theory directly into practice and bring routine into your image processing.</p>
<p>Further details about the structure can be found in the curriculum.</p>
<p>Im very happy to help you and I will answer all your questions! Also I'd like to see your progress and give you feedback on your edits with Lightroom.</p>
<p><strong>Short summary:</strong></p>
<p>- all explanations - step by step</p>
<p>- logical structure to make you familiar with the workflow</p>
<p>- all RAW files and 11 Lightroom presets</p>
<p>- take advantage of my experiences and tricks as a professional landscape photographer</p>
<p>- personal support for questions (you can ask me anything)</p>
<p>- works with the latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic CC</p>
<p>- and much more!</p>
<p><strong>Immerse yourself in the exciting world of image processing!</strong></p>

This weight/fat loss course works because many diets and strict exercise regimes don't.<div>It works on the principle that:</div><div> </div><div>*Everyone is determined to begin with, but then the rebellious human nature kicks in during a diet/weight loss programme, even if you are succeeding on it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div> </div><div>*I&nbsp;have been on so many diet/exercise regimes and I&nbsp;always manage to gain the weight/fat again.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div>Strictness =&nbsp; rebelliousness, after a while.&nbsp; Does this sound familiar to you? </div><div> </div><div>*Worrying about dieting and weight loss itself brings all kinds of stress. </div><div>Stress hormones can make you fat and retain the weight you have. </div><div> </div><div>*Many exercise regimes don't take into account how the body may feel fatigued. &nbsp;</div><div>Even if your body doesn't feel fatigued, emotionally, you may do - and this can have an impact on weight loss progress.</div><div> </div><div>*Following programmes can be tedious and take so much time out of our days, that we dedicate all of our energies to it. </div><div> </div><div>*Being on a diet can make us really moody and not fun to be around. </div><div> </div><div>*A drastic change, like a dietary programme and exercise regime can take an emotional toll on the body. </div><div>Does this all resonate with your experiences of trying to lose weight?</div><div> </div><div>*Your'e probably wondering, what makes this programme so different.&nbsp; Well, it's easy really!.</div><div>Therefore, I&nbsp;have created a course where:</div><div> </div><div>1. You will spend the first week getting to know yourself </div><div> </div><div>2. You will be diarising emotions, good, bad and the ugly. &nbsp;This will give you perspective and it will help you understand where the weight/fat is coming from. </div><div> </div><div>3. You will be practicing meditations to get clarity and become more in-tuned with your inner being (sub-conscious mind) </div><div> </div><div>4. In the 2nd week, you will examine your own eating habits and lifestyle.&nbsp; What do you do too much of, or not enough of?</div><div> </div><div>5. How stressed are you feeling?&nbsp; What are the triggers?</div><div> </div><div>6. We will look at healthy alternatives to add, and slowly reduce as well as remove inflammatory foods.</div><div> </div><div>7.&nbsp; By week 3, you will slowly add exercise. This will mostly consist of yoga.</div><div> </div><div>8.&nbsp; You will relearn how to be happy, content with yourself and watch yourself transform into a new person who does not need to follow diets, does not need to follow exercise regimes and understands that we all fluctuate with our weight within healthy boundaries.</div><div> </div><div>*Most importantly, you will learn to let go of the negativity you put on yourself.</div><div>This course is based on self-love, acceptance, gratitude and the ability to be honest with yourself.</div><div> </div><div> </div>

<p>The pentatonic scales are five note scales with two of the major and minor scale-tones missed out, leaving stripped-down music-ready scales with basically no 'wrong notes'! This makes the pentatonic scales a really good starting point for getting into creative popular-styles keyboard playing – which is what&nbsp; the Musicarta Pentatonics Workbook offers.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are optional and comprehensive theory modules for reference with hard copy downloads, plus progressive keyboard drills to help you work through the&nbsp; build-up of the major and minor pentatonic scales in all keys yourself, with full video support.</p>
<p>But mostly, the emphasis is on getting some real, attractive pentatonic music into the collection of pieces you can just play - pieces which illustrate whatever 'theory' we;re looking at - and teaching them in a way that gives you real creative keyboard skills.</p>
<p>Watch the introductory video for some examples, like the minor pentatonic One-Octave Blues - up and down the minor pentatonic scale in three places – nice, easy all-white-keys for beginners, every step demonstrated and how to practice it. You can't go wrong!</p>
<p>The major pentatonic scale is demonstrated with another characteristic showpiece which is worth your while mastering for its stylistic building blocks even if the style is not quite your 'cup of tea'.</p>
<p>Musicarta is the field leader in coaching the syncopation in these typical popular style pieces: what to practice, how to practice it, and video demonstrations to follow.</p>
<p>Then on to the characteristic additional semitones which you'll find in the pentatonic scales, both major and minor, and which you're going to want to know about to flesh out your melodies and improvisations, and to hone your playing-by-ear skills.</p>
<p>The new resources are demonstrated with pieces which build on what you already know, so you actually hear the new options you're acquiring. And as you learn more notes, you get more options.</p>
<p>Mix'n'Match Blues is an exercise in playing by ear which also invites you to exercise your musical judgement and craft your own arrangement from a selection of possibilities. Composing at the keyboard, we call it here at Musicarta - sort of slow-motion improvisation, really.</p>
<p>Because of their simplified, five-note structure, the pentatonic scales are a great entry point for 'playing by ear'. It's really not much of an exaggeration to say that most of the popular music melody you hear is mostly pentatonic, so if you can find the major and minor pentatonic scale-tones on the keyboard – which, if you work through this course, you will be able to – you'll be way ahead of the game in terms of picking popular music melodies out at the keyboard.</p>
<p>Our playing-by-ear module uses 'logical melodies' to give you more of a fighting chance, and progressive exercises, through increasingly so-called 'difficult' keys, which will leave you essentially "knowing what the keyboard sounds like".&nbsp;</p>
<p>And whether you're working on other people's material or playing your own, isn't that just what you want to know?</p>
<p>And so to improvisation. The simplicity and familiarity of the pentatonic scales, together with their 'no wrong notes' properties, makes them great for first steps in improvising. &nbsp;Blues improvisation is nearly all purely pentatonic, usually minor. Piano blues is a whole genre in itself, of course, but even with just the basics, you'll have that blues sound down, and you can get a nice two-handed groove going.</p>
<p>Twelve-bar pentatonic blues riffs get your mojo working - and what's music without mojo? Soaring major pentatonic soloing is also massively productive in terms of effect from resources. Running up and down well-chosen fragments of the five-note major pentatonic scale easily generates great emotional impact.</p>
<p>But we all have to practice. Not just running up and down scales - even pentatonic scales. More like pentatonic scale-tone patterns, which are 'practically music already'&nbsp; patterns - you're soloing without knowing it.</p>
<p>The Musicarta Pentatonics Workbook has enough practice patterns to keep you going for a year, which will teach you how to find the music you want to play and coach you in getting your fingers round the keys. Personally, I heartily recommend the this workbook - not just as its author, but because the pentatonic scales really are so foundational that it's difficult to think of a creative musician who doesn't know them thoroughly, use them profusely-and is mighty fond of them!</p>
<p>And they're so immediately rewarding to work on too. Hopefully, I'll see you on the course!</p>

If you're just getting started with e-commerce, that is, selling products or services online, then take a good look at PayPal. If you're going to sell just a few products, PayPal Website Payments Standard is made for you. If you're going to sell dozens or hundreds of products, you'll want to get a shopping cart and merchant account, but still offer PayPal as a payment option. So let's begin with a basic overview.

Once you have signed up for a free business account with PayPal, you'll want to set up an order button for a product or service. Here's the simplified version of how this works:

Specify an order button. Go to the "Merchant Services" tab, then click on the button you prefer, such as the "Buy Now" button. Then enter the product name and an optional SKU or item ID. You'll assign a price and specify your preferred currency. Then make any changes necessary to your standard shipping and tax policies and press the "save changes" button.

Copy the code. The program generates HTML code for your button. You copy the code, paste it into your webpage at the appropriate spot, and upload or publish your webpage. A "buy now" button will appear on your page.

Payment. When someone clicks on the button, they're taken to the PayPal site, where your customer makes payment with a credit card (or with a PayPal account).

Shipping. You'll receive an e-mail informing you that payment has been made. Now you can ship the item they've ordered based on the shipping information they've given to PayPal.

Withdraw funds. Finally, you can withdraw the funds they've paid and have them automatically transferred to your own checking account.

Simple. Well, in reality, it's more complicated, but that's a quick overview.

The thing I like about PayPal is that it uncomplicates e-commerce. I can remember the days when, if you wanted to receive credit card payments online, you'd either need to set up a merchant credit card account and install a payment gateway or pay some third party 5% to 10% to do it for you.

PayPal takes credit cards for you with no set-up or monthly fees. The payment gateway is built-in; you'd don't need a merchant account. You pay fees only when a purchase has been made: typically 2.9% plus a 30 cent transaction fee. Sweet! In addition, high security is built into PayPal for you and for your customer. You're able to take payment in as many as 18 currencies (at this writing). And merchants in dozens of countries can use PayPal to sell products - primarily merchants in countries that have more sophisticated banking systems and good enforcement of credit card fraud. Now let's look more closely at what's involved.

If you're selling products or services online, you'll want to set up a business account with PayPal. It doesn't cost anything, but it opens up more features and sales capacity to you than what you get with a personal account. Pricing has come down a bit since I last looked at PayPal. You can choose PayPal's regular rates or their micropayment rates, but you can't have both in the same account. To set up a separate account you'll have to tie it to a different bank account. I think PayPal's rates are pretty fair. Yes, they charge the small merchant more than they charge higher revenue merchants, but they don't assess set up and monthly fees.

The other cost you need to consider is how much you have to pay to get money out of the PayPal system in the form of a check or a deposit to your bank account. This varies from country to country. In some countries you aren't able to get money out of PayPal easily, so check first. In the USA, transfers can be made to your bank account via ACH at no charge. ACH transfers take about three business days to complete.

Over the years, PayPal's order buttons have become more and more sophisticated. You can also create drop-down menus to designate color and size (with or without prices), plus a text box for engraved items.

In the bad old days, PayPal buttons could be altered by unscrupulous customers to contain a lower sales price. No more. Now the primary order parameters for a given product are stored on PayPal's webservers, so prices and your e-mail address aren't embedded in the order button code on your site, visible to hackers. Since buttons are hosted on PayPal, you can now designate the number of products in your inventory. If you get close to selling out your stock, PayPal will e-mail you a reminder. And when you sell out, you can prevent customers from purchasing an out-of-stock item, if you like. Other optional items are the ability to allow customers to change the quantity of an item in the shopping cart and add special instructions to the order. You can designate whether or not the customer's shipping address is required. And advanced HTML code options are available for power users. Order buttons aren't limited to just "Buy now" and "Add to cart." You can also specify buttons that say "Donate," "Buy Gift Certificate," "Subscribe," etc.

As you set-up your account, you'll want to set up shipping and sales tax rules, so that purchasers of tangible products are charged the correct tax and shipping rates. Do this before creating order buttons for your products.

PayPal allows you to indicate sales tax rates for various regions, either by state or for ranges of ZIP codes that you specify. It can also apply VAT taxes in countries that use that system.

You have your choice of several shipping methods based on (a) total order amount, (b) total weight, or (c) item quantity. I've found that for my business, shipping by weight works best, so I set up two shipping options: (a) an "Economy" listing (reflecting Media Mail prices plus the cost of a shipping envelope) and (2) a "Priority" option (based on domestic US Priority Mail rates). International shipping options are set separately from domestic shipping.

When you set up your order button for a product, your default settings for shipping and tax can be used. But you can override them if you like. Intangible items, of course, require no shipping charge. And event tickets and e-books, aren't taxable in some states. Fortunately, the order button lets you override the normal sales tax and shipping settings you've made, and insert instead of a "0" for intangible products.

If you want to sell downloadable products using PayPal to take your order, one option is to specify with your order button a URL to which a customer is taken after successful payment. You set another URL for those who cancel the payment in the shopping cart. Since these URLs are hidden from view, they provide a crude way to take paid customers to your download page for an e-book or MP3 music. This isn't the recommended way to sell digital products, however. Possible problems are that:

Your customer could send the download URL to his or her friends, who might then download the product for free.

Since your download page can't be easily password protected, it's possible that search engines could index your download page, and then show that page when someone makes a search.

However, if you're just getting started, this gives you a quick and dirty way of delivering your downloadable product without fuss or bother. It just doesn't protect you from people taking advantage of your simplicity to defraud you. PayPal does provide a much more sophisticated method. You can set up a feature known as IPN (Instant Payment Notification). IPN works in conjunction with a shopping cart or digital download service you might use, which would e-mail a download code to your customer as soon as the IPN "payment made" signal is received by the shopping cart or service. The e-mail would include a special key or download URL that can be only used a few times or for only a day or two before it is automatically disabled. This protects you from the URL being distributed to non-paying friends.

If you are only selling digital products with PayPal, you can use a service such as PayLoadz to handle your downloads. PayLoadz also offers a free account to get you started. For some of the reasons I've explained, PayPal is a great way to get started in e-commerce. For some features, PayPal's ordering system matches the quality found in the better shopping carts. Stay tuned.

How to use PayPal to sell digital products

Here is a simple dish I have been making for a while. It uses minimal ingredients, takes under 10 minutes to prepare, and is super tasty!

This turkey curry is something I put together one afternoon with a bit of improvisation and inspiration. Like all good dishes, it has under 10 ingredients in total, it's super satisfying and is packed with health boosting properties.

Turkey - Itself is a key part of the dish and contributes to the protein punch and high tryptophan content. This amazing amino acid allows your body to generate the feel-good hormone serotonin during the day and the feel relaxed and sleepy hormones in the evening! So it makes for a perfect dinner!

Coconut Milk - Packed with healthy antibacterial compounds plus a good dose of healthy fats. The best thing about coconut milk is it's cheap and satisfying without having any junk inside. Always go for a can that purely has coconut and water inside.

Basil – It has long been seen as a “Holy” herb and has properties in healing frayed nerves and improving memory. It is also a potent adaptogenic and stress-busting food so it's something that we should all try to include more of every day. Eugenol found in basil is also a potent anti-inflammatory making it healthy for reducing the wear and tear of a hard workout or everyday life!

Ginger - A great warming herb making. This dish is my favorite for a cold winter evening thanks to the kick of the ginger and chilies. Ginger also improves circulation and works to calm and soothe the digestive system.

Lemon and Lime - These are packed with Vitamin C like no other fruit. Vitamin C is something our bodies cannot store therefore making it important, we keep a constant supply coming in throughout the day especially during stressful times or after exercise which both deplete our stores.

It's pretty simple really and you will need the following ingredients to serve 2-4 people:

Step 1 -Get a large dish and pour in the coconut milk. Next cut the turkey into small chunks and throw them in.

Step 3- Chop up the Basil, Chilli, and Ginger and squeeze 2 limes into the mix, throw it all in

Step 4- Pop in the oven for 30-40 minutes at 180 Degrees

Step 5- Take out and garnish with fresh Basil

Serve with a side of well-steamed cauliflower (make sure it's soft a mushy). Otherwise, some wild rice or brown nutty rice is a good option. I have also tried it with Spaghetti Squash and it was awesome!

<p>Here is a simple dish I have been making for a while. It uses minimal ingredients, takes under 10 minutes to prepare, and is super tasty!</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>Its Benefits</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>This turkey curry is something I put together one afternoon with a bit of improvisation and inspiration. Like all good dishes, it has under 10 ingredients in total, it's super satisfying and is packed with health boosting properties.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Turkey - Itself is a key part of the dish and contributes to the protein punch and high tryptophan content. This amazing amino acid allows your body to generate the feel-good hormone serotonin during the day and the feel relaxed and sleepy hormones in the evening! So it makes for a perfect dinner!</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Coconut Milk - Packed with healthy antibacterial compounds plus a good dose of healthy fats. The best thing about coconut milk is it's cheap and satisfying without having any junk inside. Always go for a can that purely has coconut and water inside.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Basil – It has long been seen as a “Holy” herb and has properties in healing frayed nerves and improving memory. It is also a potent adaptogenic and stress-busting food so it's something that we should all try to include more of every day. Eugenol found in basil is also a potent anti-inflammatory making it healthy for reducing the wear and tear of a hard workout or everyday life!</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Ginger - A great warming herb making. This dish is my favorite for a cold winter evening thanks to the kick of the ginger and chilies. Ginger also improves circulation and works to calm and soothe the digestive system.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Lemon and Lime - These are packed with Vitamin C like no other fruit. Vitamin C is something our bodies cannot store therefore making it important, we keep a constant supply coming in throughout the day especially during stressful times or after exercise which both deplete our stores.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>The How-To</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>It's pretty simple really and you will need the following ingredients to serve 2-4 people:</p>
<p><br></p>
<ul>
  <li>500 Grams of Lean&nbsp;Turkey&nbsp;breast</li>
  <li>2&nbsp;Limes</li>
  <li>A large handful of fresh&nbsp;Basil</li>
  <li>1 Cut up&nbsp;Chilli</li>
  <li>A chunk of grated&nbsp;Ginger</li>
  <li>2 Tsp of&nbsp;Green Curry Paste&nbsp;</li>
  <li>1 Can of&nbsp;Coconut Milk</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Step 1 -</strong>Get a large dish and pour in the coconut milk. Next cut the turkey into small chunks and throw them in.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2-</strong>&nbsp;Mix in the 2 TSP of Curry Paste</p>
<p><strong>Step 3-</strong>&nbsp;Chop up the Basil, Chilli, and Ginger and squeeze 2 limes into the mix, throw it all in</p>
<p><strong>Step 4-</strong>&nbsp;Pop in the oven for 30-40 minutes at 180 Degrees</p>
<p><strong>Step 5-</strong>&nbsp;Take out and garnish with fresh Basil</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>The Finished Product</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Serve with a side of well-steamed cauliflower (make sure it's soft a mushy). Otherwise, some wild rice or brown nutty rice is a good option. I have also tried it with Spaghetti Squash and it was awesome!</p>

Simple cooking – coconut + basil curry

I am often asked what exactly is the problem with grains? This can be a hard one to answer as it all depends. Is it the high insulin response they produce? The anti-nutrients they contain? But it's important that we have a general overview of each of these topics so you can make an informed decision about whether or not to include grains in your diet.

Mainstream Advice - This is where the real problem starts, grains have only been part of our diet for the last 10,000 years which a fraction of our evolution. Plus grains 10,000 years ago were a lot different from the “Healthy Wholemeal” loaf you buy today in your local grocery store today. We are told to get 5+ servings of whole grains per day in order to achieve optimum health. The Irony of this claim is that I challenge anyone to eat 5+ servings of whole grains a day and maintain healthy body weight or feel good without doing stupid amounts of cardio to burn off the extra carbohydrate intake.

Insulin is a storage hormone. It promotes your body to store either fat or muscle and by eating real food you will generate a moderate insulin response which keeps your body in a fat-burning, muscle-building mode. Whereas if you treat yourself to a healthy low fat sandwich for lunch your insulin levels shoot up and your body stores what you have just eaten. Now, this isn’t such a problem if you have been on a long run or if your a manual laborer as the energy will go into your glycogen stores (muscle) and none will be stored as fat. Whereas if you have been sitting at a desk all morning and have the grain-based lunch it will be stored in the wrong places.

In plain language, base your diet on garden vegetables, especially greens, lean meats, nuts and seeds, little starch, and no sugar. Simple as that, if you follow those guidelines most of the time your insulin response will be moderated and you will leave your body happy and healthy. Sadly though this prescription doesn’t include grains, pasta, potatoes, or other starchy foods.

Unfortunately, grains also have another dark side. They are filled with a substance called phytates which bind to nutrients in your body especially things like; calcium, magnesium, and zinc in the digestive tract making them difficult/impossible to absorb.

Gluten, I am sure you have all heard of it with things like gluten-free diets or gluten-free cookies in health food shops. Well, there is a reason for this in that many people simply don’t do well on bread as their guts hate gluten and give them a host of ugly symptoms when eating anything with gluten. Gluten is the protein in grains that mimics those found in viruses and bacteria triggering an immune response in the body.

What to do? I am not suggesting you go totally against the grain straight away but it's worth considering that the healthy whole grains you have been eating could be the cause of some health problems. There are countless stories of people who have dropped their grain-based diet and felt an improvement in energy, joint pain diminishes, and improved body composition.

Once you do this you can start introducing some unrefined grains back into the diet:

Either way, it's an informed decision for you to make or experiment with, but ultimately something well worth considering on the path to better health and fitness.

What’s the problem with grains?

I don’t know about you but I am definitely one for a warming breakfast on winter mornings. My appetite seems to be at its highest in the mornings and it will usually crave something satisfying yet light and nutritious. 

The best way to start a cold winter morning is with a warming cup of coffee. Here is my seasonal recipe for a satisfying warming cup.

Now the way I do this is by heating the coconut milk in a pan until it starts to give off some steam (keep stirring). Add the spices to a mug/thermos in generous portions. Add the coconut milk, shot of espresso on top. Give it a good stir. Mix in the optional sweetener and top with a sprinkle or raw cocoa.

Here you have a nutritious warming drink that will:

Provide you with anti-oxidants (coffee, cocoa, and spices)

Healthy and nutritious fat (coconut milk)

That is very simple and easy. A terrific way to start the day and get you warmed up and alert for the day. The other thing that is perfect about this is that it will give you the energy to get through the morning until you have time to have a proper breakfast.

This is easier than it sounds but does take a little time to prepare. Perfect for those cold mornings where you are craving something sweet but still want a healthy protein, good fat, and anti-oxidant punch.

Mix this all together thoroughly and put it to one side. Now it's time to prepare the filling. Simply slice up some apples and grab some berries, throw them in a hot pan with some coconut oil and cinnamon then pan fry until the apple browns and the berries start to soften. Put this to one side and use the mix above to make omelets.

Once the omelets are made, add the filling and fold. Amazing and nutritious warming winter pancakes are cooked. 

This is an amazing quick recipe that tastes like cheesecake when done right the flavors compliment eachother perfectly, a real treat and a healthy protein packed way to start the day. It also makes for a great post-workout meal as the startchy banana will replenish glycogen stores.

1 cup cottage cheese (pick a high protein variety)

That is all you need for the recipe and it takes under 5 minutes to prepare and cleanup. Simply fill a cup or bowl with the cottage cheese and set to one side. Heat a frying pan and add 1TSP of coconut oil, wait until it has heated through and add the sliced up banana, almonds, and spices. Fry until browned and throw onto the cottage cheese, and your good to go! The beauty of cooking with coconut oil is that it makes the pan so easy to clean, making the whole dish quick and mess free.

These recipes are yours to own and experiment with! Have fun!

When heading to the gym, it's best to be efficient with your sets and exercises so that you can maximize the benefits without wasting time in the gym. Some exercises, especially compounds, allow you to work a huge proportion of your body in only one movement, take for example:

- Pushups/ DB Press (Chest/Shoulders/Back)

The exercises above are just a small proportion but they can strenuously work your major muscles while also taxing your smaller muscles like Biceps, Triceps, and a host of other stabilising muscles. Even better once you superset the exercises you work the Cardiovascular portion of your body ramping up your metabolism and making you fitter.

You see just by doing a short circuit involving a few supersets of compound exercises you will work near every muscle in your body plus work your heart rate up. All this leads to empty your glycogen stores (giving food a place to go) and provide a healthy gene expression (more muscle, less fat). The beauty of it all is that it takes half the time of a conventional workout, provokes no inflammation, and is fun.

Simply combining these two with about 1 minutes rest between supersets is a great pairing to start your workout. It will get your whole body pumping plus warm up your shoulders. It’s also great as the Dumbell Squats work a bit like Deadlifts in that they will get your upper back/traps working and stabilizing:

This is great as the kettlebell swings will work your full posterior chain including the hamstrings, lower back, and upper back. While the dips will hit your Chest, Triceps, and Upper Back. So this is really a full-body superset, plus the swings will get your heart pumping!

By simply doing two main supersets a total of 3 times with a minute's rest in between each, you have a great simple workout that will work your entire body in a short amount of time.

YouTube can be a great vehicle to share your videos, but remember that it is also the #2 search engine on the Internet, so your videos can multi-task to help pull searches. Just like meta tags on web pages can be optimized to boost search engine visibility, your video titles, descriptions, and tags can be "peppered" with search phrases that help educate the search engines and your prospective customers about what each video is about. If you already have a YouTube channel, go back and make sure your titles, descriptions, and tags are key phrase rich. In this example, Santa Barbara jeweler Calla Gold has a video of her speech in New York labeled with the search phrase "Santa barbara jeweler" in the title to be search-ready.

To give your YouTube channel more professional polish, you can optimize it with a custom background design. Like Twitter, you can have a background that had your logo, business description, and images. When you are logged into your YouTube channel, visit the "Edit my channel" and under "Appearance" you will see a background image area to add the artwork too. Below is an example of a customer YouTube background design.

YouTube has changed its channels to offer owners more features. So be sure to log in to your account and make sure it has a good name and description since potential subscribers will see this when previewing your channel. You can also add links to websites or other social media accounts, so take advantage of that to help integrate your social media marketing.

The newest social media professional option for small businesses is Google+. Google+ business pages can be a new social media avenue to help you connect with customers. Like other social media marketing, Google+ for business allows you to share content, links, photos, and promotions. Reviews can be posted on Google+ and you can create circles that allow you to share the right things with the right types of customers for more meaningful marketing messages. The "hangouts" feature where you can do video conversations is a strong distinction compared to the other social media channels. You can optimize your profile to have a feed from your blog, photos, videos, and a robust "about page" description. Your "about page" description can also have links back to your website which is valuable to boost website traffic.
