Automate your eating by planning your meals ahead of time. That way you're less likely to make an unhealthy last-minute food choice.
Oats are your friends! Eating a cup of oatmeal in the morning will prevent you from gorging in the afternoon.
Foods with healthy fats such as olives, salmon and walnuts help you feel satisfied.
Skipping meals can cause your body to go into a fat-storing starvation mode, making it harder to burn calories.
Got nuts with nuts. Eating a handful of nuts will help you stay full. Try soaking them in water for a different texture.
Use meditation to help you cope with chronic stress, which can lead you to crave feel-good carbs.
You may be used to fried foods but there are other, sometimes healthier, ways to cook including: roasting, steaming, poaching, baking, braising and broiling.
Do your grocery shopping with a list and a time limit; that way, you're less likely to stray into the processed foods section.
Don't confuse thirst with hunger. Drink a glass of water when you feel hungry to see if that's what you're really craving.
When out at a restaurant, ask the server to hold the bread, snack mix or chips and salsa that might come before the meal. If you're hungry, you'll be tempted.
Tired of eating your salad on a plate? Fill a whole wheat pita with salad and a splash of lemon for a twist.
You might do better to replace an occasional dinner with a nice roll in the hay. Healthy sex may help control the amount of food you eat and it's great exercise.
Create emergency packs filled with healthy foods such as nuts, fruits or sliced vegetables to help you avoid unhealthy temptations.
Add red pepper flakes to your pantry. When eaten early in the day, red pepper lowers the amount of food you'll eat later.
Odds are you're eating too fast. Try holding a conversation while having a meal so you're not gulping down more than you need to feel full.
Take a brisk walk before lunch or dinner. Not only will you get in some exercise, you're less likely to choose something unhealthy after a little movement.
Looking for the benefits of salmon but you don't feel comfortable cooking fish? Try canned salmon as a simple and affordable alternative.
Are your dishes too big? A healthy dinner should fit on a 9-inch plate. You may find that kid-sized plates are more appropriately sized to feed an adult!
Never eat any snack food out of the box, carton or bag it came in. You're less likely to overeat if you separate snacks into appropriate fist-sized servings.
Boost your metabolism with some green tea or chili peppers.
Get your Zzzzzs. Sleep deprivation alters levels of hormones in the body that regulate hunger, causing an increase in appetite.
Muscle burns at least four times as many calories as fat does, so try twenty minutes of strength straining two to three times a week.
Decaf coffee is a great low-calorie fluid when you're having cravings (and a great source of antioxidants).
Eating liquid-based foods such as natural smoothies and low-sodium soup can help you cut back on calories yet feel full.
A pedometer can help keep track of your steps. If you're not getting 10,000 steps a day, you're not moving enough.

I know Google is highly profitable and very cash-rich, but is it really necessary to be throwing money around like it is at the moment? Surely good staff can’t be that thin on the ground. In September it emerged that Google and Facebook were locked in a battle for the brightest and best skilled employees. With Facebook growing at an incredible rate, and constantly needing an influx of workers to cope with the demands of this, Google employees were being targeted. But Google wasn’t willing to sit back and let its staff walk away without a fight. So Google employees approached by Facebook were being offered some incredible incentives to stay at the company. We’re talking 15 percent pay rises, quadrupling stock options, and cash bonuses just for remaining at the company and doing the job they are already being paid handsomely to do. Last month came news that Google was also providing its employees with paid-for servants. And then earlier this week came the astounding revelation that all 20,000 employees would be receiving a $1,000 cash bonus and a 10 percent pay rise in the new year. No matter what their record for the previous 12 months may be. However, all that pales into insignificance against the incredible offer TechCrunch claims was recently made to a staff engineer at the company. After the search giant discovered he was being sought by Facebook he was allegedly offered $3.5 million in restricted stock to remain at the company. Rather wisely, he decided to accept the offer. These are incredible sums of money being talked about here, sums that many of us will struggle to make in our entire working lives. And yet Google seems to happy to hand them out like candy at Halloween. This is all very well for those employees on the receiving end of the offers and counter offers, but what about those not so lucky? It can’t be good for morale knowing that a person doing the same job as you has been made a millionaire overnight while you haven’t. Is Google just creating problems for itself by these extravagant attempts to retain its staff?

Facebook Above $100 Per Share This Year? One Firm's Bullish Take On The IPO + Comment now The frenzy around Facebook stock has now officially hit fever pitch. The social networking company is planning to file for an IPO as soon as Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported last week. The offering would be one of the largest tech IPOs ever, with an estimated market capitalization of $75 billion to $100 billion. While the speculation continues about when the S-1 filing will appear, one broker of secondary Facebook trades, New York-based Felix Investments, is bullish about the Facebook IPO. The firm sees a big jump coming in Facebook’s value after an IPO up to $100 per share–even from the high price (in the mid-$30s) it has been seen trading at in secondary markets recently. In an email sent out on Saturday Jan. 21 to potential investors–before the news broke about a potential IPO this week–Felix hinted at a coming S-1 filing. The email–reviewed by FORBES, see the text below–said the firm had Facebook stock for sale at $34 per share, which it says translates into a market cap of $74 billion. The email said the company has $2 million remaining of a $10 million chunk of stock. That price and of itself is not necessarily unusual. The biggest prediction stated in the email is that the firm expects to sell its Facebook stock at a price “north of $100” in November. Of course, that’s part of the sales pitch. The email also hinted that an S-1 filing for an IPO could hit on (last) Tuesday. It turned out that that didn’t happen, though reports say a filing could happen this week. The email also says the firm expects the IPO will price in May at a price “in the mid $50’s.” How Should Facebook Use $10 Billion in IPO Cash? George Anders George Anders Contributor Facebook Aims For IPO Filing Next Week: Report Tomio Geron Tomio Geron Forbes Staff Felix has raised a number of these special purpose vehicles, which are secondary funds that typically invest in just one private company’s stock, according to people familiar with the firm. Felix has created funds for Facebook and Twitter stock, as well as other sought-after private companies. I previously covered Felix’s colorful email for Twitter stock. Frank Mazzola of Felix declined to talk about specific secondary funds that Felix has not closed, citing SEC regulations. But Mazzola said he’s very positive on Facebook. “We’re very bullish,” Mazzola said. “We’ve invested ourselves. We believe Facebook is going to be a very, very big company. The upside is substantial.” As far as timing, Mazzola expects Facebook to file for its IPO soon. He believes there’s an incentive for the company to file soon because it wants to provide liquidity for its employees and other shareholders. What about the criticism that Felix is pumping up the stock a little too much? “I’ve never hid my opinion on Facebook or Twitter,” Mazzola said. “We get paid to have an opinion.” Here is the main text of the January 21 Felix email: “We have Facebook stock at $34 which implies a market cap of about $74 billion. They will file on Tuesday “we believe” and price the IPO in May in the mid $50′s and we believe the stock will be north of $100 when we can sell in November. If we are wrong here and are disappointed with the transaction it will be because we only doubled our money – which would be a major disappointment but a highly unlikely one in my opinion! Let me know if you have an interest. We had $10 million and have about $2 million left. You need to let me know ASAP as because the stock is going very quick – I actually braved the snow and came into the office just to wrap this up.

Lucid dreams

Lucid dreams and the meanings

A lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. The term was coined by the Dutch psychiatrist and writer Frederik (Willem) van Eeden (1860–1932).[1] In a lucid dream, the dreamer may be able to exert some degree of control over their participation within the dream or be able to manipulate their imaginary experiences in the dream environment.[2] Lucid dreams can be realistic and vivid.[3] It is shown that there are higher amounts of beta-1 frequency band (13–19 Hz) experienced by lucid dreamers, hence there is an increased amount of activity in the parietal lobes making lucid dreaming a conscious process. Scientific history The first book to recognize the scientific potential of lucid dreams was Celia Green's 1968 study Lucid Dreams.[7] Green analyzed the main characteristics of such dreams, reviewing previously published literature on the subject and incorporating new data from subjects of her own. She concluded that lucid dreams were a category of experience quite distinct from ordinary dreams, and predicted that they would turn out to be associated with rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep). Green was also the first to link lucid dreams to the phenomenon of false awakenings. Philosopher Norman Malcolm's 1959 text Dreaming[8] had argued against the possibility of checking the accuracy of dream reports. However, the realization that eye movements performed in dreams may affect the dreamer's physical eyes provided a way to prove that actions agreed upon during waking life could be recalled and performed once lucid in a dream. The first evidence of this type was produced in the late 1970s by British parapsychologist Keith Hearne. A volunteer named Alan Worsley used eye movement to signal the onset of lucidity, which were recorded by a polysomnograph machine. Hearne's results were not widely distributed. The first peer-reviewed article was published some years later by Stephen LaBerge at Stanford University, who had independently developed a similar technique as part of his doctoral dissertation.[9] During the 1980s, further scientific evidence to confirm the existence of lucid dreaming was produced as lucid dreamers were able to demonstrate to researchers that they were consciously aware of being in a dream state (again, primarily using eye movement signals).[10] Additionally, techniques were developed that have been experimentally proven to enhance the likelihood of achieving this state. Initiation A lucid dream can begin in one of two ways. A dream-initiated lucid dream starts as a normal dream, and the dreamer eventually concludes it is a dream, while a wake-initiated lucid dream occurs when the dreamer goes from a normal waking state directly into a dream state, with no apparent lapse in consciousness. Treatment for nightmares It has been suggested that sufferers of nightmares could benefit from the ability to be aware they are indeed dreaming. A pilot study was performed in 2006 that showed that lucid dreaming therapy treatment was successful in reducing nightmare frequency. This treatment consisted of exposure to the idea, mastery of the technique, and lucidity exercises. It was not clear what aspects of the treatment were responsible for the success of overcoming nightmares, though the treatment as a whole was successful.[14] Australian psychologist Milan Colic has explored the application of principles from narrative therapy with clients' lucid dreams, to reduce the impact not only of nightmares during sleep, but also depression, self-mutilation, and other problems in waking life. Colic found that clients' preferred direction for their lives, as identified during therapeutic conversations, could lessen the distressing content of dreams, while understandings about life—and even characters—from lucid dreams could be invoked in "real" life with marked therapeutic benefits.
