Therefore, one should take the time to study all the different styles to ensure a more pleasant skiing experience. Ski Like A Pro The following are some of the more common ski techniques that will help the skier perfect the skiing motion: • Shuffle – this is a walking motion on the skis which may seem rather difficult but is easily done with the right technique in place. Without actually lifting the ski off the snow, the individual would simply have to slide the ski forward with the help of the poles on either side held by the skier’s hands. • Classic stride – here the strides are long and gliding where the individual would have to step onto the ski and push back on that ski with the leg. This motion is often referred to as the kick style. As the leg pushing motion is finished on one side, the other side commences the same action. This results in a single leg stride for every single pole push with one arm. • Double pole – here the forward motions are heavily dependent on both of the poles as they are moved in a parallel motion together to create movement. The hands are required to be brought upwards to about the shoulder level, then by plating the tips of the poles into the snow, a pushing motion is executed to create momentum for the movement. • Kick double pole – this is an addition to the original leg push as there is a double pole push in this style. The first motion is to push one leg back against one ski and kick, then at the same time bring both arms up and forward to be ready for the double push. When this is done you will keep gliding on both skis. Chapter 3: Bump Skiing The Right Way Synopsis As the title probably already says it all, the bump skiing technique will ideally involve learning how to maneuver over bumps in the snow without losing balance or speed, while enjoying the “ride”. Also commonly referred to as moguls, this style is commonly used as most ski slopes are rather bumpy. H0w To Bump Ski Basically the skier has to learn how to maneuver in an almost zigzag pattern to avoid encountering bumps while skiing down a slope, steep or otherwise. This is a slower style but an effective one when it comes to maintaining balance all the way down. It will also allow the skier to maximize on the speed most comfortable to the individual at all times, without having to stop periodically to recapture balance. This style also does not really require the individual to maximize on the speed of their reflexes as this particular skill may decline as the skier ages. The zigzag swaying pattern will help to create better control which should in turn provide the skier with the leeway to define the progressively faster reflexes as the pitch of the run increases. The best technique to use when trying to master skiing on bumps is the mogul one, as it provides maximum speed control possibilities and therefore it is the quickest method to achieving confidence in an off piste terrain. There are also other slightly varying techniques that require the skier to take a slightly faster line but still provides the effective method of staying balanced and remaining in good control at all times. Combining these methods will allow the skier to use the basics but make wider swaying turns along bigger angles to keep up with a faster momentum. The idea is to actually use the slopes on the declining side of the bumps to create the push for the zigzag motions. Chapter 4: Improve Your Traverse Skills Synopsis There are several different motions linked to the traverse skills in skiing. These vary according to their uses based on the terrain the skier is going to be challenged with. Therefore some understating of the basic traverse movement should be made clear. Tips On Traverse Style The traverse style is used when skiing across terrain or as a part of linked medium turns. Using the right stance is important, and this includes extending the arms forward, keeping the knees bent, and leaning the shins against the boots. This should be done with the distribution of approximately 70/30 between downhill and uphill skiing. Keeping the hips positioned over the feet will facilitate the movement of the uphill ski and boot to about half a boot ahead of the downhill ski and boot positioning. Knees should be positioned slightly inside the turn while the hips are turned in the direction traveling and slightly down the hill. This will help to ensure the edging comes from the hips. This will also keep your balance in check and the majority of the skier weight on the downhill ski. The different types of traverse progressions include the traverse edge set, side slipping, traverse with tipping skis uphill, hopping from foot to foot, down the hill, and the uphill ski. The main idea is to be able to execute nice and smooth turns with your skis in consistently matched positions, while putting more weight on the downhill ski. The right stance will further enhance the effectiveness of the movement, as the knees are constantly being flexed and extended according to the turn made in the ankles and hips to ensure the arc is nicely made when maneuvering around bumps. Chapter 5: Easy Way To Side Sliding Synopsis Side sliding, also otherwise often referred to as side slipping is another braking method often used when the skier is trying to make a sudden and almost immediate stop. Stopping Quickly This breaking technique ideally utilizes the sliding action that is similar to the movement used when descending short pitches that are difficult to ski on. In this particular motion, the skier has to be positioned in a perpendicular fashion to the slope and slide sideways downhill. The sliding down movement should only be done at the approximate measurement of about a foot or two at any given time. This particular technique is usually favored by the more experienced or advanced skier and is especially effective when there are trees or other obstacles in the way of the skiing path chosen. This technique is also commonly used on steep and rocky slopes, as it allows the skier to get through the tricky and often dangerous terrain with more careful coordination and skill. There is also the question of speed which this movement allows effective control over. The maximum control of motion this side sliding maneuver allows can help to create optimum yet controlled speed and agility, even through the rough terrain which in turn will help the skier keep the balance and maintain stability better than the more conventional methods which are used. In order to execute side sliding effectively, the skier has to ensure the skis are across the hill and parallel to the fall line while turning the upper torso so that it is facing downhill. This position is often referred to as the countered position. Both the skis should be on the uphill edges, then the skis should move into the flattened positions while allowing them to slide down the hill.

Chapter 4: Do You Lack Bravery Chapter 5: Seeking Permission Chapter 6: Faulting Others Wrapping Up Sample Content Preview Chapter 2: Do You Complain? Synopsis Did you know that complaining about things can severely damage your productivity, health, and life in general? People who complain about almost everything on a consistent basis are disposed to poor health, have shorter and less satisfying romantic relationships, and tend not to do well at school and at the workplace. Why Do People Complain? Most people are not aware how often they complain as it becomes a habit. Like all habits, complaining becomes familiar and it tends to be invisible. Also, most people find that complaining is a good conversation starter. It is easy to find a common ground for complaining. On top of all, people complain because they seek validation for their beliefs. You may think that by complaining, you’re observing your surroundings. However, complaining is not making an observation or a creative act. Complaining reinforces your negative thoughts. The more you complain, the more you attract the negative thoughts about the thing that you’re complaining about. Experts claim that when you complain, you’re creating a map of what you perceive reality to be. Doing this makes you dwell on negative thoughts and supports things that you don’t like. Complaining also hinders you from doing actions. It can give reasons to delay things and keep you from achieving your goals. In fact, complaining is much easier to do than to find a solution for the problem. People also complain to avoid responsibility. For instance, you arrive at work or at school late and your excuse is that the line at the pharmacy was way too long or the traffic was terrible, or the wait for the gas station took forever. Sure, these things happen, but you could have avoided these things if you would have been more prepared or left earlier from home. People who often complain are at high risk of being trapped in a negative reality, which gives them more things to complain about. People who are constant complainers have endless reasons for their circumstances. They often say “I never really had any breaks”, “I always have bad luck”, or “Life is totally unfair”. People who always complain feel that their circumstances are unfortunate and beyond their control. However, this is not true. Their mindset on things needs an update as they have created their reality agreeing to their negative thoughts. Although complaining is a negative attitude, it doesn’t make you a bad person. It just puts you in a situation where you cannot live an exceptional lifestyle. How to Break the Habit of Complaining Complaining is one of the biggest ingredients that will make you lose your self-esteem and courage. It takes away your confidence and makes doing things more difficult. Fortunately, there are ways you can stop this habit and manage your way of thinking. Be Aware – The first step to breaking this habit is to be aware of when you complain. Commit to observing yourself for the next twenty-four hours and when you realize that you begin to complain about something to someone, stop it. Taking Responsibility – Taking responsibility is another step to breaking this habit. Taking responsibility doesn’t mean that you have to beat yourself up. It simply means that you are aware of the negative thoughts in your mind and you want to make it clear that those thoughts are not you. They are only thoughts. When you accept that you create those thoughts, you can actually change them. Find some time to ask yourself about your positive intentions. Your answer will help you do the next step. Focus on Your Goals – When you find yourself complaining, take time to observe your complaint and think of the reason why you are doing it. What is it that you are trying to achieve by complaining? Once you learn these things, you can learn how to replace your negative thoughts with positive alternatives. When the things that you want are clear to you, finding solutions becomes easy. You can determine the right actions to take. Chapter 3: Do You Have Self-Doubt? Synopsis Self-doubt is one of the primary obstacles in the way of living a fulfilling life. Extreme self-doubt is unhealthy for the soul and it drags down your spirit, prevents you from achieving your goals, and crushes your ambitions. Everyone has an inner voice in their head, telling them that they’re not strong enough, not good enough, and incapable of doing the things that they desire to accomplish. This feeling of incompetence or weakness stems from their childhood and tends to be ingrained in their overall being. Self doubt leads to serious problems like depression and anxiety. It’s no secret that these emotional disorders can turn to physical ailments such as chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, weight gain, and increased mortality to people with heart disease. It’s important that you know the destructive power of extreme self-doubt. But, it’s better if you know how to counteract this negative feeling, so you can enjoy a fulfilling life. The Impostor Syndrome The Impostor Syndrome stems from extreme self-doubt during childhood. It is the inability of a person to accept success, regardless of the level they have achieved. A person will find it hard to accept even the highest achievement as they feel an irrational fear that the success might not be deserved. The outward signs of success are seen as good timing and good luck. A person with Impostor Syndrome feels that he/she has been deceptive and has made others think that he/she is more skilled or intelligent. How to Overcome Self-Doubt Self-doubt is not a fatal disease. It’s simply a negative attitude that you need to correct to allow you to live a fulfilling life. Here are the best tips to overcome self-doubt. Live Life in the Present – Feelings of extreme self-doubt are often attached to the memories of the past. These memories will probably be about a time when someone told you that you weren’t good enough or a time that you failed to accomplish something. If you keep on thinking about these things, you’re only attracting the negative energy that fuels your self-doubt. Do not live in these moments; think about the person you are in the present time. Just because you could not accomplish something in the past does not mean that you cannot complete it in the future. Each day is a new start and a chance of doing what you really want for real. Trust Yourself – Oftentimes, your worst enemy can be your own self. If you keep on thinking that you are not good at something and cannot do the things you want to do, you will never even try it, and you will be stuck where you are right now. You need to have strong faith in yourself. You need to constantly tell yourself that you are capable of achieving your goals. Counteract Your Negative Thoughts – There are times that the negative voices in your head tend to be stronger than the positive voices. When this happens, try to neglect them, and make planned efforts to concentrate on the positive voices. When you have a feeling that negatives thoughts are coming, remind yourself about your strengths and the traits you like about yourself. Think of all the things that you have achieved on your own in the past and this will make you proud of yourself. Discover the Source of Your Self-Doubt – If you constantly tell yourself that you’re not good enough, you need to know the cause of the problem. Where does your self-doubt originate? What was the event that made you harbor this feeling? Once you have identified and understand the source of your self-doubt, it will be easier to eliminate your negative thought patterns. Spend Time with Other People – Your family and friends are your primary source of strength, encouragement, and reassurance. When you have strong social support, you can get rid of your negative thoughts about yourself. Even strangers can be surprisingly helpful in getting rid of your self-doubt. Simply expressing your doubt to a complete stranger can make you realize how illogical your negativity can be.

One example is the very ‘visible’ Mike Chang from Six Pack Shortcuts who uses a ton of advertising to drive visitors to his channel and to his information products. One of his most recent videos involved him stuffing his face as much as he could to demonstrate how his training methods don’t require you to starve yourself. The video is actually quite unpleasant to watch and is certainly fairly controversial. Both these things work in Mike’s favour however, as both these things mean people are more likely to watch and to click through to see what the channel is all about. Remember: these videos will normally show just before fitness and bodybuilding videos that the user has clicked on and this is a great way for them to grab attention. In some of his other YouTube ads, Mike will talk about free techniques that you can use as a reader to lose weight or build muscle. To see the free technique, you need to click on the ad to get directed to another video. This brings people to the Six Pack Shortcuts brand and is what is known as a ‘sales funnel’. Gradually, viewers engage more and more with the brand until eventually they are willing to pay for the product. Another example is Tai Lopez. If you spend much time on YouTube, then you’ll no doubt have seen him talking about how he earned his Lamborghini in his garage. Once again, the video is fairly ostentatious and controversial and some people will be put off by it. Either way though, viewers end up watching and this technique has allowed Tai to very quickly grow his channel to 406,000 viewers plus. It’s actually doubtful though whether that Lamborghini is even his… You don’t need to be so on-the-nose, controversial or deceptive to make a splash though. Equally successful is the fitness channel ‘Athlean-X’ which promotes ‘training like an athlete’. In the advertising campaign for this channel, owner Jeff Cavaliere actually actively challenges the methods of advertisers like Mike Chang and positions himself as the more grounded and scientific alternative. The techniques you’ll learn here will enable you to emulate the success these content creators have had and even to surpass them with your own products and channels. Setting Up Your Account Step 1: Creating Your YouTube Account To get started with your advertising, you’ll first need to create your account. These days, YouTube is integrated very closely with Google and with Google+. That means that the easiest way to sign in, is just to log in with your standard Google account. From here, you will then have the option to create a specific YouTube account. To create your channel, head over to ‘All My Channels’ and then find the dialogue box that says ‘Create a New Channel’. So far, so self-explanatory! Once you’ve created your channels coincidentally, you’ll be able to find them all situated here. At the same time, you’ll also be able to see your Google+ accounts underneath. If you want to create a new channel for your Google+ page, then you can do so by clicking on these. This means that if you have a business on Google Plus, you can easily create a channel for that business and have your accounts linked. Either way, you need to be on Google Plus in order to use YouTube and in order to be able to add comments etc. When you click to create your channel, you’ll either use the name associated with your Google+ account, or you’ll create a new name that’s relevant to your brand and that’s easy for your visitors to find and to understand. You may choose to create multiple channels – one for your brand and one for yourself as a personal user. Alternatively, you might choose to create multiple channels for each of your products. For instance, you may want to create one channel for your brand and another for your app – Microsoft for instance has a Microsoft account, as well as a Surface account and a Windows account etc. Take a look over the terms and conditions and once you’re happy with the name of the channel you can click ‘done’ to go ahead and publish the channel. Step 2: Building Your Channel Once you have created your channel, the next step is to create some content for it and to add some information. In case you were wondering, your YouTube channel and your advertising campaign are going to be intimately linked so that when users click on your ads, they will very often be taken to your account page. This means you should make sure that your page is ready to receive said visitors before you start creating your ads. When people visit your channel, they’ll see a number of different headings and features that will tell them about your brand. One of the most important things here for instance is your description which will simply explain what your channel is all about and why people should stick around. This is also important for SEO or ‘Search Engine Optimization’. In other words, the text that you include in this description will be at least partly responsible for helping you to achieve more visibility in searches both on Google and through YouTube itself. Make sure then to think about what the most relevant ‘keywords’ are for your topic and what you can include to encourage more people to find your channel. Likewise, you can also link to your social media and your website and you can feature some other channels you like. All of this will help your brand to grow. By linking to your website for instance, you’ll be able to drive traffic that way and thereby increase the number of people engaging with your brand. Meanwhile, linking to your website and confirming it as yours will also allow you to link to products etc. directly from videos. As we will see later on, this is a rather useful feature for any marketer! At the same time, linking to your social media will help you to drive more traffic still and will make it easier for you to build a cohesive brand across multiple platforms. One of the adages you most commonly hear with regards to internet marketing and social media marketing is to ‘be everywhere’. Make sure you are in as many places as possible by creating a consistent brand on every platform you can find online. This branding should extend as well to your cover image and your profile picture. The profile picture here is going to be the same as it is for your Google+ account, so make sure that this is something that accurately reflects your brand and your niche and that looks the part for your channel. The cover image meanwhile can be anything you choose, but a good bet is to put a logo of some sort front and to make sure this logo is the same across all of your channels (social media etc.). As you create more content for your channel, you’ll find that you’re also able to add playlists of your videos, which will make it easier for visitors to find the type of information they’re looking for. Another useful feature, is the ability to create a video that will promote your channel and this will play whenever anyone visits the page. Here you can create a montage of your best content or just talk to your visitors and explain what they can stand to learn by visiting your channel and why they should keep coming back. Until you do this though, visitors will simply see a list of your recently added videos. Depending on the strategy you intend to employ with your YouTube advertising, you will also need to create some content and start uploading videos. The ads you create are likely going to drive visitors to your channel and so you want to have some great content here waiting for them when they arrive. We’ll go into depth on how to create high quality videos on a shoestring budget later in this book. For now though, all you need to know is that your videos need to be high quality and they need to provide value. Don’t worry about trying to sell or monetize just yet – what’s most important is that you build a following and you gain the trust of your visitors. The best way to do that is to fill yourself with interesting and unique content that people will want to view and that will encourage them to subscribe. The more quality and value you provide, the more people will be interested in buying from you when you eventually come to sell something. Step 3: Linking Your AdWords Account Next you need to link your AdWords account to your YouTube account. This is the crucial step for YouTube advertising specifically and until you do this, your advertising and your YouTube will be separate entities from one another. Once you link the two, you’ll not only be able to take part in YouTube advertising but you’ll also have the option to see more statistics for your video such as ‘earned videos’. You’ll be able to control features like CTA overlays (more on this later) and remarketing. In order to link these two accounts, you need to head over to your YouTube channel and then click the ‘My Channel’ tab after the channel icon. Now look for the ‘Advanced’ option and from here you should be able to find a tab that says ‘Link an AdWords for Video Account’. This should have a ‘Link an AdWords Account’ link and when you click this, you’ll be walked through the process of linking your AdWords account. Of course, before you do this, you’ll need to sign up to AdWords and create an account. You can also alternatively link your YouTube channel from within AdWords. TO do this, you need to sign into your AdWords account and then find the cog icon for settings. In here, you’ll find an option that says ‘Linked Accounts’ and in there, you’ll be able to find ‘Link a YouTube Channel’. Click the channel you want to link and then search for the video you want to link to begin with.

Table of Contents Foreword Chapter 1: The Basics Chapter 2: Then And Now Chapter 3: Know The Differences Chapter 4: Mind Your Tongue Chapter 5: Thriving Wrapping Up Sample Content Preview Chapter 2: Then And Now Synopsis Very few people may be totally happy with their lives today. Surely, most lives today are shrouded by problems such as distrust among the partners, disagreements over slight issues, suspicions, ill will and even hatred. Relationships are continually souring all around us, and most times, we feel that nothing can be done about it. We resign ourselves by saying that it was meant to be that way. Life was completely different in the good old times, at least on the face of it. We weren’t so technologically advanced back then and maybe we gave more importance to our human relationships than we do today. Man needed woman and woman needed man more than they do today—that is a fact. The View The shapes our relationships are taking right now are downright deplorable. 1 in 2 couples are ending up in a breakup or a divorce. The levels of animosity are definitely rising, and this is certainly no good. Why is this happening? What is it that we are failing to see? Despite making a diehard commitment at the start of our relationship, in the heydays as you may call them, what happens that makes the relationship so drastically irreparable? Certainly, the problem lies in one of the partners or both. There are some very basic things that we are completely missing out on. We are not spending the time to realize that men and women are totally different kinds of beings, and that the only way to live successfully in harmony is by understanding each other completely. If you think that is too difficult to achieve, you need to think again. You need to see that the situation is not all that bleak as it seems. There is just one link in this chain, one single strand, that we are missing out on. If we simply see this one missing link and accept it, we will be able to do much better with our lives. That is what it is all about—mutual understanding and acceptance. That is what we need to learn. And, yes, in this chapter, we begin creating the journal of your relationships that will help save your rocking relationship boat. This is your reference point and your guide, the place where you find your fumbling relationship begin to take root once again. We see this very common scenario in the world around us today… maybe in our own lives too. It is someone’s wedding day. They look into each other’s eyes and vow to be together “until death do them part”. Standing in front of the marriage celebrant it is difficult to imagine how the two could ever not feel so in love as they do today. Yet 5, 10, 15 years later they are standing in front of a judge and this time they are told they are divorced. It is not exactly the fairy tale ending they had anticipated all those years ago. This scenario is a reality for over 50% of couples who marry. While the length of the relationship may be different among couples, and there are other reasons for the divorce, the reality is, over half of all marriages will end in divorce. The statistics are worse for remarriages. It is a gloomy picture, and perhaps you are feeling depressed wondering what hope your marriage or relationship has in the face of such statistics. The great thing about statistics is that there are good as well as bad statistics and other statistics reveal that if a couple can work through the problems in their relationship; they can potentially bond stronger than ever and go on to have an even better relationship. Why is all this happening? Ultimately, it is our perceptions of what makes a good relationship and our expectations of our partner, which creates the friction in marriage. As we learn to understand why we have these expectations and how to challenge with them, we can look at our relationships with new eyes and appreciate them for what they are, rather than for what they are not, With this knowledge, all relationships potentially can move forward. Our ability to relate to each other has evolved over our lifetime. We learn by observing the culture we grew up in and through our life experiences. As children, we watch our parents and we see how they relate with each other. We interact with our siblings and this contributes to our knowledge of how people in close relationships interact with each other. We learn from talking to our friends and often compare and contrast their experiences with our own. As we reflect on what shapes the way we interact with others and why it does this, we find the key to beginning the restoration of a successful relationship. Here are a couple of practical steps that may help the process. Try to do them together as a couple. Reflect on who you are and what has shaped your thoughts on life and relationships. Take a day or two to really think deeply about this and ask your partner the same questions. Compare their thoughts with yours. Use a journal to write down significant events in your relationship each day and what experiences caused them to occur and what your expectations were that caused that let down. These events go a long way in reinforcing your relationships. Even as you feel that you are drifting apart, if you just happen to read about these events in your journal, you will reminisce about those happy days you had together and perhaps you will have a change of heart. You will make an effort to patch up the relationship again. You will want to be together again to relive those happy days, and somewhere deep inside, you will get the confidence that the situation is not as bleak as it appears on the outside. Chances are that your partner is reconsidering as well. Since the love you started out with was quite strong and determined, your partner is not going to want to peter it down too. Sit together and think. Maybe a solution will emerge out of the entire morass. Maybe you will want to be together for life once again, just as you committed to each other during those marriage. But times have changed. We have become more mechanical, more materialistic. Our lives aren’t as simple as they were before. Our obligations of the day aren’t divided simply into work-time and family-time. Many more things vie for our attention each day. Still, the basic rules that were established back then are still quite prevalent. Gender roles were assigned to man and woman back then, all those centuries ago, and they still remain. Woman lib regardless, there are still gender roles that are prevalent. And this is more commonly seen when people are in a relationship. Until recently, humans traditionally mated for life with one and sometimes in polygamous societies a number of mates. Fifty years ago when people divorced, they often faced accusations and lost lifelong friendships. Today, it is likely that many of those in our circle of friends are divorced and may even have remarried with new partners. If we look back even further to the days when our ancestors were hunters and gatherers, we see a completely different situation than what is the reality for most couples today. History has shown us that our ancestors were a mainly hunting and gathering society. Men would go and hunt for food while women collected mainly seeds and berries around their home.

Table of Contents Foreword Chapter 1: Reptile Care Basics Chapter 2: Research The Correct Temperature Chapter 3: What Kind Of Environment Does The Reptile Need Chapter 4: What Kind Of Food Does Your Reptile Need Chapter 5: Make Sure You Clean Up After Your Pet As Required Chapter 6: The Problems With Not Caring For Your Reptile Properly Wrapping Up Sample Content Preview Chapter 2: Research The Correct Temperature Synopsis The reptile pet would need to have ideal living conditions in order to survive comfortable and without the adequate knowledge on the varying temperatures required, it is more than likely the reptile will suffer the consequences which could range from mild to dangerous. Do The Research In the wild, these animals are able to regulate their body temperature by finding and using outside elements to assist them as they are not created with a system that regulates itself. Therefore these reptiles would search for the ideal conditions and settle in comfortably until there is a need to move again should the body temperature or the surrounding temperature change. When it comes to the confines of the pet’s enclosure, this may be rather hard to do. For one the space available would be really very limited and for the other, there would not be enough “ideal” conditional changes due to the limited space. Therefore the reptile would not be able to move to the next best location when the need arises. This will cause the reptile to react unfavorably and even eventually affect its overall health. Some owners are sensitive to this need and take the trouble to simulate as much as possible the requirements that would provide for suitable temperature changes, while other owners would fail to take this into consideration simply out of ignorance or sheer bad attitudes. Some tanks or cages are positioned is such a way that there is a possible way to naturally adapt to the animals temperature needs and this is definitely something that the pet would welcome, as it would have to be stress or experience any discomfort. However in most cases, this is almost always not part of the overall consideration made when keeping a reptile pet. Therefore serious consideration must be given to the regulatory adjustments the temperature setting would call for. Chapter 3: What Kind Of Environment Does The Reptile Need Synopsis Most reptiles need to be placed in suitable conditions where they can draw on the surroundings for the necessary heat for their bodies. This is because predominantly reptiles cannot generate body heat within the body, which is referred to as ectothermic. The following are some of the elements that should be considered in the make up for the comfortable existence of the reptile pet: What Environment As reptiles need to seek heat from its surroundings, there is a need to provide a variety of various scenarios within the confines of the cage or tank to accommodate such important temperature changes. Depending on the type of reptile being reared as a pet, the owner would have to be responsible and knowledgeable of its needs and try to cater to them. There are three main groups within the reptile category and these would include the lizard and snake group which would require a tropical climate environment and then there is the turtle and tortoise group which have protective shells on their back and these would require an environment that contains a lot of water and cool rocks to bask on, and the last group would be the one that is predominantly comprised of crocodiles and alligators and this group would prefer to be in an environment that is actually dominated by water as they tend to spend most of their time in it. Equipped with this information the potential pet owner would have to decide if it is feasible and possible to create such environments to accommodate the chosen reptile pet comfortably and safely. Reptiles also need an environment where they can go into hibernation mode. This is necessary when they can no longer tolerate the surrounding temperature or environment. The pet owner would also have to provide an environment that is quiet and cool without distractions. Chapter 4: What Kind Of Food Does Your Reptile Need Synopsis As there are several different types of foods that usually make up the food varieties for the reptile pet, the owner would need to have a good basic knowledge of the pet reptile’s preferences. The following should serve as a good guideline for the reptile pet owner to have a more informed view of some of the foods that make ideal meals for the pet: What Food Typical reptiles such as snakes, tegus, lizards, monitors and crocodilians would be partial to a diet of meat. These could come in the form of mice, rats, birds’ eggs, insects, fish and other smaller animals which would present much of a challenge to the reptile. Most of these would be eaten raw. There are also reptiles such as iguanas and some tortoises that would lean towards being vegetarian. The foods that these reptiles would most like enjoy consuming would have to be chopped collard greens, romaine lettuce, chopped squash and bananas. The other reptiles that make popular pets would be the bearded dragons and many aquatic turtles and these would ideally want to consume crickets, mealworms, earthworms, chopped veggies and romaine lettuce. There are also reptiles that simply survive on eating leaves of which iguanas are a good example. The pet owner would be well advised to be able to provide fresh leaves for this type of iguana. However before the individual decides to purchase any reptile as a pet, careful consideration should be given to the diet needs of the pet. If the individual is squeamish about feeding or handling certain types of foods, then the pet would ultimately suffer the consequences. Also as the pet grows in size the food intake or size would also have to be of a bigger kind and this could also be a problem when it comes to handling or sourcing for the food items. Chapter 5: Make Sure You Clean Up After Your Pet As Required Synopsis Keeping the pet clean and free of any unwanted residual stuff like feces or food rotting from not being consumed is very important, as will help to keep the pet’s immediate environment from becoming a health hazard.

However, it can actually be one of the most challenging tasks. You can never know for sure if you are going to be a victim of potential layoff, or getting cut for hours at work.

But where did live streaming come from? What precisely is it? And why is Facebook getting involved? Before we dive into the nitty gritty and discuss how to get started and how to create content, let’s rewind a little and go over some of the history of live streaming and of Facebook so that you can get to grips with the lay of the land… What is Live Streaming and Why Does it Matter? As the name suggests, ‘live streaming’ means that you’re filming videos and streaming them live. So instead of creating content using a camera, editing it and then uploading it to YouTube, you are instead filming and streaming directly. This is raw footage, broadcast live and it’s incredibly exciting. Normally, live streaming will take place via an app. To do this, you simply need to install the specific app on your smartphone (which will normally be either Meerkat or Periscope) and then you’ll hit the stream button. You may also set up some details about the nature of the video – giving it a name, a picture and/or a simple description. From there, you then record with the camera in your phone and anyone can watch from around the world who is signed in, or who sees you Tweet that you’re going live. There are also plugins for your website (if you use WordPress) that allow people to see if you’re live and then tune in to watch if they so desire. So what is it about this type of content that makes it so unique and so effective? Well many people have described it as the closest thing to teleporting. If you load up Periscope for instance, then you can view a map showing where all the feeds are coming from and then simply select which one you would like to view. This is quite a surreal experience, as you will then be transported into a person’s room, or even to a concert. You can now see the world through their eyes, as it is happening. Imagine being able to watch concerts live, comedy acts or parties that you were unable to attend! And imagine how this could impact world events once this form of content really takes off! Imagine if there was a tsunami or a hurricane and if you could then view the events unfold from multiple points of view all around the world all at once. It would almost be like being omnipresent during that event! For marketers this is also huge. There is something that viewers find remarkably exciting about watching something live and this also gives them the ability to ask questions, have discussion and get feedback live. Imagine reviewing a product that you created during a live feed. You could build a huge audience and at the same time answer questions that show up and even show off other aspects of the product that you might otherwise have glossed over. Many marketers are also doing regular live streams: having live discussions with their viewers over their morning cup of coffee. This allows an unprecedented level of intimacy that can help you to build a much closer relationship with your audience and create much more engagement. These are the reasons that people are excited about live content online – and there are many other potential applications and uses for this type of content. Imagine being able to view a restaurant live, right in that moment before you book a table. Or imagine being able to see behind the scenes while your favorite TV show is being filmed. The History of Live Streaming So Far Before Facebook’s involvement, most people thought of Periscope as being the major player in the live streaming stakes. Actually though, it was Meerkat that was the very first to market and that really kicked things off. And back then, no one had heard of Periscope, which make Meerkat definitely a very exciting piece of news for pundits. Meerkat was drawing a lot of attention very quickly then when it was first announced in March 2015. From then, it managed to create an increasing amount of buzz and gather a flurry of media attention. Ironically, Meerkat also worked very closely alongside Twitter, which really helped to give it a boost. Back then, Meerkat was known as ‘AIR’ and later on ‘Yevvo’. But soon Twitter would decide that simply supporting Meerkat wasn’t enough. The hype surrounding live streaming was clear and so the company needed its own offering. Thus they bought the smaller and much lesser known Periscope for a nice sum of $100 million. Very quickly, Periscope rose to prominence with Twitter behind it. Periscope very quickly proved that there is a huge audience and massive potential for this type of content and that’s no doubt what piqued the interest of Facebook – the ‘other’ massive social media network. The History of Facebook so Far That’s the history of live streaming up to the point of Facebook’s involvement. But how about the history of Facebook itself? Most people know a little about the history of Facebook thanks to the successful movie The Social Network. Despite being a good film though, many of the facts presented are inaccurate and the story is only loosely based on the real events. As shown in the film, Facebook was the brain child of Mark Zuckerberg who was studying at Harvard at the time. Also as shown in the film, Mark had previously experienced some success and controversy after creating ‘Face Mash’. In the film, Mark is shown as being socially awkward and as using Facebook as a means to try and enter college clubs and attract women. In fact though, Mark was already dating his now-wife Priscilla Chan at the time he came up with the social network! Also somewhat accurate is the depiction of Mark’s partnership with roommate and colleague Eduardo Saverin. It’s also true that Mark faced legal charges from the Winklevoss twins and their friend Divya Narenda. However, it’s also very unlikely that Mark really took inspiration from the trio when creating Facebook. In fact, it was public knowledge at the time that Harvard was working on their own social network but that they were taking a long time to complete the project. Mark discussed this openly with the Harvard Crimson and it appears more likely that this was the competition he was more focussed on: “It is clear that the technology needed to create a centralized Website is readily available … the benefits are many. “Everyone’s been talking a lot about a universal face book within Harvard. I think it’s kind of silly that it would take the University a couple of years to get around to it as I can do it better than they can, and I can do it in a week.” After creating ‘The Facebook’ in blue (owing to Mark’s color-blindness) he put it on the Kirkland House online mailing list, which had 300 subscribers. By the end of the first night, the site already had between 1,200-1,500 new members. Initially, Facebook was only available to Harvard students but gradually it would be rolled out across other colleges and then eventually certain businesses and schools before being opened to the public. This gradually roll-out really helped the site to pick up steam in those early days. In 2004, Facebook expanded to include Stanford, Columbia and Yale and from there it continued to grow. Over the years that followed, Facebook would go on to add many new additional features that today are considered a core part of the platform. For instance, it wasn’t until 2006 that the company introduced its ‘News Feed’ that initially received some backlash. And it wasn’t until 2010 that we saw the introduction of a ‘Like’ button. This was also the year that Facebook Messages were introduced.

Table of Contents Chapter 1: Gaming Health Risk Basics Chapter 2: Addiction Chapter 3: Aggression Chapter 4: Social Problems Chapter 5: Physical Problems Chapter 6: The Dangers of Not Paying Attention to the Risks Sample Content Preview Chapter 2: Addiction Addiction may occur because of several reasons. It can be due to the use of some substances, such as alcohol and prohibited drugs, shopping, gambling, and even video games. No matter what it may be, addiction always has some adverse effects to the person who is involved. The same thing goes with those people who are in the state of a gaming addiction. Know more about gaming addictions in this chapter. Gaming Becomes Addictive Gaming addiction is characterized by a compulsive or excessive use of video games or computer games that interferes with the everyday life of a person. Online gaming addiction holds a negative picture since it became a public concern. Addiction might present compulsive game playing, mood swings, social isolation, diminished imagination, and hyper focus on in-game achievements to the prohibition of other life events. Anybody who goes through it is fully aware that gaming addiction is real. Even though gaming addiction is not yet recognized officially as a diagnostic disorder by the American Medical Association, it is evident that there is an increasing number of people, particularly preteens and teens, who are facing extremely real and sometimes, serious consequences linked with compulsive utilization of computer and video games. Video games become more and more detailed, complex, and attractive to the increasing number of the global audience of gamers. With more realistic characters, better graphics, and more complex tactical challenges, it is no longer surprising as to why some teens will rather play their favorite video games instead of hanging out with their peers, playing outdoor sports, or even watching some TV programs. Of course, not all gamers are addicts. A lot of teens may play video games for a couple of hours per week, while effectively balancing their grades, school activities, family obligations, and friends. On the other hand, for some, gamers it can be an irrepressible compulsion. Some studies have estimated that 10% to 15% of players show symptoms that meet the criteria of the World Health Organization for addiction. Similar to gambling and some other forms of compulsive behaviors, teenagers may become very enchanted in their fantasy gaming world that they even neglect their families, friends, school and work. What Makes Gaming Addictive Games are consequently designed to be simply difficult enough to become really challenging, while enabling players to attain small achievements that encourage them to keep playing. In this manner, video games design is the same to the gambling design of casinos that will enable players to obtain small “wins” which compel them from playing. In addition, there are a number of hooks that are established into the games with the intention of making them addictive. These hooks include the following: High Score Whether you have tried out the latest edition of Temple Run or have not played an online game ever, achieving a high score is one of the commonly identifiable hooks. With the attempt to beat a high score (though a player simply tries to beat his very own score) may keep a player motivated to play for hours. Game Beating The hook is not utilized in role playing games online. However, it is observed in just about every gaming program. The desire to beat a game is being fed as the player goes to a higher level, or locates the following hidden hint. Role Playing Role playing games enable players to do more than just play. With role playing games, people get to actually produce the characters within the game and go on board with an adventure that is fairly unique to each character. As a result, there is some emotional attachment a player produces towards the character, making it feel much more difficult to put an end to playing the game. Relationships Once again, this is another main online “hook”. Role playing games online enable people to build rapports with other players. For some children, the online community is the place in which they are most accepted and that encourages them to play over again. Discovery The discovery of exploration strategies is most commonly utilized in role playing games. Among the most well known games as of now are the “World of Warcraft”. A huge part of this game is basically spent exploring imaginary worlds. Such excitement of discovery (even with places nonexistent in reality) can be very compelling. MMORPGs or Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games can be particularly addictive since there is not an end to it. Different from other standard games such as the well known Super Mario Brothers in which you will win once you save the princess, no princess is to be rescued on an MMORPG. Another important consideration is that some people are more prone to any form of addiction compared to other people. Children, who feel easily bored, hold poor rapports with their family, feel like an outcast at school, or tend to seek sensation, are more likely drawn into gaming addiction as it fills an empty void and satisfies requirements that are not met anywhere else. Aside from psychological addiction, it is now believed that there might also be some physiological elements to addictive game playing. Some researchers have conducted certain studies about this concern. They have found that the levels of dopamine in the brains of players doubled as they play their games. Dopamine is the mood-regulating hormone that is linked with a sense of pleasure. The study’s findings show that gaming can really become chemically addictive. Even though the debate continues on as to whether or not gaming addiction is a diagnosable condition, such behavior definitely exists. The mixture of purposeful programming of designers along with the predisposition of a few teens have towards addictive behavior simply means that it is a real concern that parents, friends, and teachers must be well aware of and perform precautionary action to put an end to. Chapter 3: Aggression Addiction to gaming may eventually lead to aggression. With continuous playing of fantasy games with aggressive situations and hostile characters, a player may increase his aggression level, which is never healthy to one’s emotional and cognitive health. An Addict Becomes Aggressive An increasing rate of aggression and violence among teenagers and children is among the most essential issues experienced by many parents these days. However, people hardly ever considered that entertainment media such as movies, TV and video games may be an essential contributing factor to the increasing development of violent behavior among these young people. Perhaps, video games are the most considerable entertainment source for teenagers that were born after 1970. From then on, it has infused the world of kid’s entertainment and has become the subject of several researches and studies because of its alleged role in influencing child psychology and behavior. The outcomes of several studies have highlighted that video gaming could have more intense negative effects on kids compared to that of movies and television. Video games require a player’s active participation and this can have far reaching impacts on a child psychology and behavior. While video games become more and more engaging naturally, children often actively participate in those games and also think of themselves as an aggressor. Aside from this, video games normally reward such violent activities that further put kids at risk for initiating aggressive behaviors and thoughts. Furthermore, children play the games over and over again and one of the vital keys to learning is repetition and participation. That is why video games can instill more aggressive behaviors among young children as compared to passive media such as movies and television. Aggression and violence depicted among video games, when practiced within the real world, may lead to severe injuries and even death. Excessive playing of video game might lessen a child’s empathy or his/her desire and willingness to help other people around them. Aside from this, excessive video game playing may have a negative impact on the child’s academic performance. As mentioned earlier, it may also lead to social isolation because children likely spend less time hanging out and interacting with friends and family members. Another essential harmful effect of video gaming is that it can affect the perception of the child about different gender roles, since women as normally represented as the weaker character or victim in several forms of these games. Therefore, parents have an essential role to play when it comes to making sure that the harmful or negative effects provided by video games don’t actually outweigh the positive ones it can also provide. To be able to achieve this, they may limit the length of time for playing. In addition, they may also choose to participate in the game playing and get to discuss the adverse effects of aggression and violence and their inefficiency or inappropriateness in solving problems within the real world. Aside from this, teenagers and children must be encouraged to take part in other activities and games so that they do not become addicteded to playing video games.

Accessories for Playstation There is a massive number of different accessories that are available for Playstations. Each one has a different purpose and a different set of benefits that it can offer. The following are a few examples of the different types of accessories you can get for a Playstation and the benefits of the accessory. Controllers: It is important that you find the right controller for your type of game. Certain controllers come with different modes. These modes can alter the way that a controller reacts. For example, you can have a certain mode set up for racing and a different mode set up for first person shooter games. You will likely have the sensitivity much higher on the shooting mode than you would on the racing mode. This allows the player to fine tune their controller for their experience while still offering the convenience of being able to switch to other games and change their controller settings rapidly.
