Understand the concept of EPOC EPOC stands for excess post-exercise oxygen consumption and it is the amount of oxygen your body needs to get back to normal state and it is excess compared to the amount of oxygen you needed before doing exercises. When your body is in post-exercise state, there are a lot of processes going on which require oxygen, and thus you burn calories even when you’ve stopped working out....

Other than the life calculator, the site presents with some good links and information on health. Good site to visit if you are interested on your life and health. Presently, life expectancy of an individual is calculated primarily on the basis of sex, race, nationality and age. Some life tables take smoking status into account as well.

Spouses wait all day for their husband or wife to arrive just to find the smartphone won out in the attention-getting department. Teachers have concerns about plagiarism and students texting answers during class. Authorities now have to police a no-texting-while-driving law that never existed before the advent of smartphones. Life Smartphone is a video that uses hyperbole to comically illustrate examples of disasters that occur because so many people are on their smartphones in lieu of fulfilling their responsibilities....

Writing: Change Yourself, Change the World

That said, it’s important to remember that just because someone works from home doesn’t mean that they’re either slacking off, or working any less than you are. Those who have never worked done so may have some misconceptions about what working from a home office is really like, so let’s put those to rest, shall we? “You work from home? How do you get anything done?” People who work from home tend to work a LOT more than those in offices, as there’s no real delineation between work time/home time, so work hours spill over into what many would consider to be “personal” time....

My primary goal as a coach and consultant is to help people get back on track—to live a life of greater happiness, fulfillment, and success. While there are many (awesome) books, courses, programs, and words of advice on living a life you love, I always come back to the conclusion that the fastest way to get there is to be true to yourself. There’s No Place Like Home — Your True Self In the movie “The Wizard of Oz,” Dorothy taps her ruby red slippers together and repeats, “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home…” The same is true for each of us: there’s no place like home....

Working it Out – [JuggleZine via Lifehacker]

I use Flickr to hire people for my projects. I needed some website art for a project I’m doing, and though I am capable of doing my own art, I realized that there were people who were far more talented than me. So, I looked around my 50 or so Flickr contacts and picked Sonya to do the illustrations for my website and the iTunes art, etc. And then it struck me that I would re-use this model....

We’ve all been there… You’ve just made a huge step forward in your life or achieved a vital goal, and want to tell everyone you know. You’re bursting with pride and happiness and want to spread the joy. But have you ever stopped to listen to that little voice in your head that wonders whether or not the recipients of your great news really care? Sure, they might be listening to the words coming out of your mouth....

Eat well Exercise alone won’t help you melt away that unwanted extra fat. The golden formula for ultimate weight loss and muscle toning is dieting plus exercise. And we don’t mean cutting out all sugar, gluten, and anything else that is supposedly bad. Dieting is ultimately about balance and moderation in all things. Start by cutting back on the sweets and sugary drinks and replace them with better snacks and calorie-free drinks....

There are a few tricks to getting out stubborn stains, but remember that the earlier you catch it, the easier it is to get out. If you forget about the stain for a few weeks, or put the clothing item through the wash without specifically treating the spot, it’ll be a lot harder to get rid of. One thing to remember: whenever you try to get a stain out, always blot it (press at it) gently—never, ever rub at it to get it out....

Overcoming Procrastination – [Wikibooks via Ian’s Messy Desk] Well it is, and then some. Since procrastination is the cause of not doing (rather than merely the lack of action), simply doing that which is being procrastinated may not be psychologically possible while the mental obstacle or technical problem causing the procrastination is in place. Also, as explained above, procrastination can be a powerful psychological force in its own right. Therefore, the procrastinator needs to get over, go around, or somehow plow through these mental barriers in order to get on with it....

1. Understand the nature of your debt and identify key resources. Before you can start to diminish your tax debt, it is first important to understand its nature. Just as there are multiple tax laws and codes, so too there are several different types of debt and methods of potential repayment. Understanding the full extent and structure of your debt is crucial, as from there you can determine the best and most expeditious resolution....

Somewhere around 3 dozen people, scattered across the globe from Hong Kong across the US to the UK, Europe, and beyond work together to bring you the collection of useful tips, thought pieces, and inspiration known as Lifehack. I thought it might be interesting to our readers to learn a little bit about what goes on “behind the scenes” at a big site like this – the tools we use, the processes we’ve developed, and the attitudes that help us keep Lifehack stocked with stories 260 days a year....

Now instead of just tagging your documents, you can drag and drop everything into folders. You will also notice anything you’ve tagged previously, is now in a corresponding folder. The Google team have additionally added a Google Suggest-esque seach to your docs – but I’ve, personally, never seen much use in this. It’s a welcome change to make everything more manageable over there at Google Docs, but nothing really ground breaking....

In case you’ve been on an Antarctic expedition over the past year and have missed all the hype over Google Glass, it is very simply a device that looks a lot like eyeglasses, but works like a computer. Information overlays what you see, so you can instantly recall the name of that person (You never forget a face right? But names…that’s a different matter.) and when her birthday is and whatever information you stored about that person....
