An incredible love story between a dog and tourist street
When you hear the story of Francis, you know it’s someone who should not be here.
After all, is a dog. An animal from a country with about 400,000 stray dogs who struggle daily for survival.
The story of how Francis came to Greeley, on how to adopt an American, a true miracle.
Tyler Rugh, of Greeley, is the new owner of Francis, or perhaps appropriate that the dog is the new master of Tyler, depending on how you view it.
Tyler, 24, grew up in Greeley and works in Jamplay.com, a firm that gives guitar lessons online, with offices in Greeley. Tyler is the producer of online videos.
The strange story of Tyler and Francisco began last month when the U.S. went on vacation to Puerto Rico with his girlfriend, Rebekah Marsh. Both live in Greeley and went to visit a friend in this town, Sirah Masters.
“One day we went to a restaurant in Puerto Rico and saw this dog at the entrance,” says Tyler. “I patted him and went inside. The next day we return to the same restaurant and there he was. I patted him again.”
Later, when Tyler and Rebekah left the restaurant, the dog followed. They went to a bar on the beach and the dog sat on the sand, watching.
“Somehow managed to get into the bar and appeared at my side,” says Tyler. “It was there I started to like him.”
The dog went to his apartment and spent the night outside the building. The next day the couple went diving. “I looked up and there he was on the beach, watching.”
Tyler called his mother and asked what he thought, if it was worth taking the trouble to make arrangements to take the dog. She said yes.
The next day – the day before his departure – and Rebekah Tyler took the dog, named Francisco, to a veterinarian for authorization to travel to the United States.
“On the road, a car ran over Francisco. The injured and ran away.”
It was then that began the second part of the miracle.
“It disappeared,” said Tyler. “I was hurt. We looked everywhere, but we could not find. The next day we left. I cried all the way on the plane.”
Tyler thought about adopting another dog abandoned in Greeley.
A few days later, Masters was working in a restaurant and a customer said he wanted to give the leftovers to a dog that was out, injured leg, which had been bleeding on the beach.
Masters accompany the client and found the dog. He attended the wounds and called Tyler.
“I could not believe,” says Tyler. “Francisco had found.”
Immediately began a long process to bring it to Greeley. Masters got a health certificate from a veterinarian and a certificate of adoption of the United States, and arranged to travel to Colorado.
So, Francisco, the stray dog adopted by an American, traveled from Puerto Rico to New York and from there to Denver, where Tyler was waiting.
“Sirah and her mother did everything for that Francisco could come. We have a huge debt of gratitude to them,” said Tyler.
In total, Tyler spent about $ 500 to bring the dog. But he considers money well spent.
Tyler and his new friend are almost inseparable. Francisco is not even a minute off, sleep on your side and loves his new master.
Francisco, German shepherd mix with other races, you have to climb five kilos (10 pounds) and Tyler is training.
Francisco is the first dog that is Tyler, and it is quite clear that Tyler is the first master who has the animal.

Walking down the street talking on a cell phone is as risky as driving with it
When considering the precautions to be taken when using a cell phone, usually people think of driving a car and talking at the same time. However, two investigations found that pedestrians conversing with hands-free system are at risk to themselves, especially when crossing the streets.
By contrast, people who walk while listening to music through your phone does not present any greater risk than ordinary pedestrians.
To reach these conclusions, the two studies at the University of Illinois (USA) created virtual environments and noisy streets full of cars. The first study, published in the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention, worked with young adults.
The volunteers were divided into different groups, so that while participating in the experiment some talking on his cell phone hands-free, others listened to music and the rest simply walked. The virtual routine that followed was exactly the same for everyone.
The researchers noted that young people who talk on cell phones took 25% more time to cross the streets, compared with colleagues who were not talking. In turn, all had 30 seconds to cross the avenues and charlatans failed to meet that goal as well as the quiet.
Young people who were listening to music does not show any difference to those who walked without speaking.
The other study focused on adults over 60 years, with the particularity that some of them had a tendency to fall and stumble more often. All the same path of youth, but the results were worse.
Older adults who used the hands-free cell had a 15% higher risk of being hit (always in the virtual environment, of course). Those who already tended to stumble ran an even greater danger.
Art Kramer, lead author of the study, said these results: Many people assume that walking is so automatic that nothing will stand in its path. Walking itself is fairly automatic, but doing so in an environment with many obstacles is perhaps not as much as one would imagine.

Vacations are good for all – bring them out meal!
Vacations are good for employees and companies. The studies confirm this. One recently presented by University of the Rockies, an institution specializing in graduate and doctoral studies in the areas of psychology, confirms that the benefits of the holidays are a peak when 10 days.
Dena Ann Dries, responsible for the survey of 143 full-time employees (not including personal or self-contained piece) between 21 and 62 years of age, have found that paid vacation time metal promotes the health of employees, increased satisfaction for the work and helps to promote job stability.
“Paid vacation or personal time off a direct impact on employee satisfaction with their work which increases retention and reduces the costs of training new workers because of labor turnover,” says Dries in their abstract. Worker satisfaction with their jobs means less cost to the employer.
According to this study, the ideal vacation time, which yields the greatest benefits for both workers and businesses, is 10 days holiday. This study does not appear that those who had more time, three weeks or more, obtain a greater benefit palpable.
“Good until the end”
“The holidays are good until you return to reality, are good until the end,” he complains, half seriously and half in jest my friend Isabel, who was accustomed to enjoying a full month! holiday because that was the minimum required by law in Spain, where he worked before moving to Miami. “I think that everyone who returns from holiday clashes with reality and part of the happiness he enjoyed that moment fades,” says Isabel. “In the U.S. sticks more, I guess it’s because the long holidays are much less common.”
Facing what may come after the holidays, often steals the happiness of the rest: physical exhaustion accumulated unaccustomed activities, no cumulative work done during your absence in addition to regular daily burden, and concern accounts payable of the costs accrued vacation.
In the experience of Christine Moriarty, CFP (Certified Financial Planner), educator and president of Money Peace.com, one of the concerns of those who go on vacation is how to deal with the accounts of credit cards they will receive when they return. And it recommends that if these holidays are already loaded on the cards, start saving for this for the next. “To avoid the ghosts of holidays past, begins to contribute to a savings account to meet the costs of your next vacation, put money aside from your regular bills, and preferably in another bank to avoid the temptation to dispose of it” suggests Moriarty. And remember that it is much more comforting to save for something positive as a future vacation, in order to fulfill obligations such as paying debts.
In fact, the happiness of a holiday is often perceived as soon as we start the preparations, according to results of a study conducted by Jeroen Nawijn Erasmus University in Rotterdam and Brenda University of Applied Sciences, which interviewed 1530 Dutchmen 974 adults who took vacations. It was also noted that the feeling of happiness on vacation last long after returning to the routine, if the vacation was very relaxing, happiness can last between two and eight weeks.
Vacation is not just going on a trip
Moriarty confirmed that the United States many people do not take enough vacation primarily because “they perceive that taking a vacation is extremely expensive.” Other plans do not disdain to be absent for long enough to take a trip. “Most people think of holidays as” all or nothing “, the trick is to see the holidays as an option that can accommodate existing conditions, you can find a workable compromise option,” says the author.
And the holiday is not just travel. Vacationing is taking the time to devote to one, personal interests, far from the daily routine and responsibilities of work or home. Moriarty counters the excuses most with easy ideas for a holiday:
“Make short trips during the week and spend the weekend at home. Change of environment and not spend as much as rates during the week tend to be lower than the weekend.
-Take some vacation days to learn a skill, a hobby or take a course. While you’re at home, your mind will be on vacation dealing with things outside your regular routine that will surely satisfy any taste or desire much yours.
“Go camping, visit family or make a tourist in your city.
Do not take more expensive vacations can cost: your health or life
In 2001, a survey by the University of New York at Oswego among 12,000 men between 35 and 57 years suggests they do not take vacations increases the risk of coronary heart disease by 30% and 20% of deaths. Rather than save money by not going on vacation or earn rewards with the company, you are dangerously risking your life and your health. Dr. Brooks Gump, co-author of the study was explained very simple: “The holidays help to reduce stress, allow you to break away from your work and everyday worries.” Also people who work in excess exercise less, eat worse and tend to sleep poorly, three serious errors for heart health.
So plan your vacation, so are a few days to rest at home, and be sure to include these recommendations – a few courtesy of the Friends of Wells Fargo (www.elfuturoentusmanos.org) – to return to the routine does not very traumatic:
“Go back one day before reintegrarte to work for some rest and update your home, your luggage and your mind.
“Look for reintegrarte to work on a Thursday or Friday. If you start on Monday, will be a long week.
“Do you pay automatically deposited: prevent loss and will be available faster to make the payments.
-Set electronic payments for your bills so you do not forget a payment, and if necessary, can make them from anywhere on the Internet.
-Get alerts and Internet access to your accounts and know what is happening in them.
-Keep track of all expenses you do in the holidays. Add them and adjust the estimated budget where will the extra payments if you spent the spending plan. If you see charges you do not match, immediately notifies the issuer of the account. Could be an identity theft or cloning of a card.

How to “manage” a difficult boss
Yael Zofia was sure she would be fired.
This woman extroverted, talkative, had a boss with a totally opposite personality. His boss was in charge of the international division performance management and leadership development in J. P. Morgan. Yael and her boss had to talk often, but emails to the long, detailed, and earthy, that he wrote it, his boss replied concisely, even in monosyllables. So, she recalls, “I wrote him speaking of the approach, process, project duration,” he recalls. And he answered: “Yes.” To which I said “okay what?”
Very frustrated, Yael had to grit their teeth and adapt your communication style to the ways of his superior. “I was irritated by having to send reports to him, until I realized that he needed were lists of key points.” He began to write only the important details of his notes and his boss sent him emails almost as brief as your answers.
Used this strategy for several weeks, then went on vacation with a friend. “My relationship with my boss was so difficult that I thought I was going to fire when he returned.” However, when he returned to New York, discovered that she had been promoted to vice president.
This occurred in the early nineties. Zofia did not realize at the time, but in fact had used a technique that many subordinates have been used successfully oppressed in their complicated relationship with superiors. What in English is called “managing up.” In other words, this technique for managing the boss is to identify their weaknesses, paying attention to his management style and communication and develop a strategy to deal with this.
In 1998, Zofia J. left P. Morgan and opened his own consulting business and guidance for executives, AIM Strategies. In 2008 he published a book on “managing up.” Today, this technique is a major focus of his consulting work.
“Think of the relationship with our boss as the most important within the company-recommended. Think of our leader, not as a superior, but as a customer.” He adds the important thing is to play with the boss in your own backyard.
Zofia has determined that there are four basic categories of chiefs who feels trends, the extrovert, the perfectionist and stable. However, he admits that human beings are complex creatures and can have a bit of all these traits. Once we know what the style of our head, we can devise a way to treat it.
For example, if the boss in question is a perfectionist, the kind that does not support any chaos and expects employees to be experts in their tasks, to do a lot of background research, ask questions before embarking on a project, provide a lot of data to head and go checking whether we do it right, preparing to do so several reports of our progress.
What if our supervisor is a downright incompetent? Zofia also has a solution for that. A client of hers working at a company manufacturing medical devices and had to be accountable to the owner’s daughter. The company manufactured resonance imaging machines highly sophisticated medical, which were built with parts made in different countries, like India, China and Israel. The challenge of coordinating disparate sources had put his head was very nervous and continually bothered to ask the clerk for information. Even interrupting your meetings or conference calls with providers of remote countries.
“My client was beginning to have health problems with this issue,” recalls Zofia. Was affecting his personal life. He came to think of taking Prozac, even. ” Zofia advised the employee to consider the erratic personality and his boss tried to develop a strategy to calm her. Instead of confronting his boss form certified, the client Zofia spoke with foreign suppliers and gathered information. Then, developed a spreadsheet where you could see the status of each piece and when come to the factory. “In this way, managed to give you some peace of mind to her boss,” says Zofia. The strategy worked. In addition, the employee established very good relationships with suppliers, which helped devise all better. “It’s not that the worship of his head,” says Zofia, “but keeps his job and better support.”

Should we forgive a betrayal and infidelity ?
Forgiveness is a betrayal, if you look with eyes of love, one of the easier to make concessions. If you want a lot of the traitor and is believed to worth investing in the relationship, forgiveness will come as a logical consequence. At two parties, however, the recomposition of the couple be required energy and patience.
Still, reconciliation is not enough: we must know what he did that one parent be involved or be carried away by another person, even when committed to his regular partner.
The reasons are many, but none of them justifies the betrayal. In general, a cycle of betrayal crown wear; those in the partner does not react to síntoms and adapted to the routine and daily living. Do not perceive that, basically, the feeling on the other is weak for some time due to lack of new emotions that fuel the romance. The sexual life is no longer as before, the pressures of everyday life that the couple do not have time to devote to each other, and the distance between them is gigantic. At that point, they forget the joys of married life until some time ago, when conquered each other was the most exciting challenge of the moment.
Suddenly someone comes back, you praise your clothes, you realize that you cut your hair, that values small taste of yours, who wants to talk and talk flows in a pleasant, interested in your life and not repair in your hobbies or defects. Hard to resist, no? That’s that enters our consciousness with the superego saying “NO you do, are married!” Or “a married woman can not flirt with other! But another inner voice can whisper something like” Dale! Nobody needs to know. ”
In short, attractions outside of our regular partner we can always have, but the decision to get carried away by them, or not, it is only ours. Here, once fell into temptation or partner did, and the slip ceased to be secret, we can only face the possibility of the new dilemma: to forgive or not forgive.
It depends. There are situations of couples who have come closer after an episode of betrayal. This is possible when, after the betrayal is discovered, both fully intend to talk about all the problems that hurt the relationship through couples therapy. And they intend to change, restarting the marriage, although this requires much effort and recasting who was the victim of betrayal hardly forget it.
One of the biggest problems of couples is the lack of dialogue, the accumulation of unpleasant situations that are not expressed for fear of the reaction of the other, fear of hurt ends in a silence that ultimately damages the couple. When no ventilation what is wrong, accumulate dissatisfaction and frustration, which may encourage some of the members of the couple to approach someone whose presence is more stimulating.
Understanding the reasons that led to our partner to betray, cause a self-assessment of the role of each in the relationship and bring both to the only possible conclusion: to love, to not die, must be fed forever.
As you know, maintaining a happy marriage without going through a crisis is simply impossible. The important thing is behind us and get the most out of the crisis to our growth.

Meat lovers will become fat – new Imperial College London researchers study
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Eat a bit less meat could help people stay in shape, according to a European study. Imperial College London researchers found that frequent consumers of meat gained more weight over a period of five years than those who ate less meat, but the same amount of calories.
When they analyzed the different types of meat, found that the highest correlation with the increase of weight was given to birds, then with processed meats and finally with red meat.
“Our results suggest that a decline in meat consumption could improve our weight management,” wrote the authors in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (http://link.reuters.com/typ58m).
The research involved more than 100,000 men and 270,000 women from 10 European countries participated in a study of cancer, nutrition and other lifestyle factors.
The Danes, Spanish and Swedes were the largest consumers of meat, the men ate about 300 calories a day of meat, and women, 200.
Among the nations surveyed, the Greeks were those who ate less meat. Men and women ate 200 to 140 calories per day, respectively.
In a follow-up to five years, both men and women increased about half a kilo per year on average, while women gained a little less.
But the researchers found that the more a person ate meat, the more weight gained. For each additional 250 grams of meat per day, equivalent to a steak of 450 calories, weight gain would be 2 kilos more.
The researchers, led by Dr. Anne-Claire Vergnaud, said that while this is a relatively low weight gain from the individual point of view, climb an average of 2 kilos in five years, “could have a significant effect from the perspective of the population. “

Clean the house helps to keep a slim figure
Cleaning the house may be good for your health and figure, because the people doing the housework seem to achieve a better physical state, concluded a survey conducted with over 1000 volunteers.
“If a person devotes part of the day cleaning, doing laundry and dusting, then active. Many people do not take 30 minutes to go walking, but would use that half hour to clean,” said Nicole Keith , the lead author.
Physical activity brings many benefits from maintaining or losing weight to improve cardiovascular health, bone and respiratory. In turn, prevents diseases such as stroke, osteoporosis and depression. The finding of this study could be very useful as it would to find new ways to promote healthy exercise, but in this case within the household.
Activity at home
Scientists at the University of Indiana (United States) were dedicated to investigate the relationship between physical activity and a number of variables related to the home and neighborhood where a person lives, as the presence of trails for walking or light to move from night.
Keith worked with 998 volunteers from 49 to 65 years, in most cases, performed some sport or recreational exercises. The authors analyzed their cleaning habits at home, physical condition and characteristics of the neighborhoods where they lived, but also examined each volunteer as subjectively perceived these factors.
The scientists noted that household chores may be the main driver of fitness. “The last resort, the house seemed to be the main factor behind an adequate level of physical activity. We were not expecting these results,” said Keith.
The specialist said his research suggests that perhaps need to change the paradigm of physical activity to bring the street to the house. Keith explained that he devotes much attention to change the external environment, including increasing the number of places to run or walk. Although this effort is considered valid, believes that health professionals should also find ways to get people to keep active at home.

The world’s most beautiful sunsets
Trying to explain a beautiful sunset is like trying to tell a dream: a futile task. The colors, size … The true nature of a sunset is ineffable. In addition, its beauty does not stop being subjective, of course. Thus, a traveler contemplates his eyes clouded with tears orange is degraded over the Mediterranean, while another sits entranced with a kaleidoscope marred by pollution of a busy city landscape.
So who could resort to choose the most beautiful sunsets in the world?
Of course, experts for passengers who have traveled the world, artists and adventurers who have not only been to dismiss the sun in every corner of our planet but have learned to appreciate the beauty metaphorical, spiritual and, yes also the visual, the celebration of fireworks with nature that delights us. We asked the experts that we describe the most beautiful sunsets that have had occasion to see.
But first, what is a beautiful sunset? For many people, including Andrew Zimmern, of Travel Channel TV station, the beach is often part of the landscape. “Among the most remarkable evenings of my list would include the beach of Seminyak, Bali, and sit on the sand of Mahoe Bay on Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands, where I had the opportunity to share the event with my wife and son … and no one else in sight. ”
Zimmern also enjoyed beautiful sunsets in Africa, Scotland and Canada, but the most memorable that has seen it lived in Sicily, Italy. “We had stopped to spend the night in Noto, Siracusa, on the way to Marzamemi” he says. A ten kilometers from the hotel, the field is covered by wheat fields waving in the wind [also] palazzi and villas and an ocean surrounding the horizon. The view and the sunset was so spectacular that we stopped the car and walked to the top of a hill for a closer look. The sun about to set off that night the most beautiful light I’ve seen in my life. Nothing I have seen can be compared. ”
Julia Dimon, travel journalist and co-host of Word Travels on the TV channel National Geographic Adventure, saw the most beautiful sunset in the Valley of the Moon in the Atacama Desert of Chile. “In winter, about 18:30 h, the sky is a rainbow of watercolors red, orange and purple. A warm glow illuminates a range of one million years. They stand on the sand dunes, which the backbone of a prehistoric reptile. Millennia of desert winds have sculpted rocks and sandstone formations and colors dance in the light of early evening. Jupiter shines in the sky, while a veritable patchwork of heavenly stars blink. ”
Like any amateur photographer has learned the hard way, it is impossible to capture the beauty of the sun at the moment to be hidden. Unless your name is Lora Drasner, who spent years perfecting the art of pictures of sunsets. In his book, Sunsets (Sunsets), this native of Washington presents dozens of sunsets beautifully captured, and most during a round the world that the author did in three years, on board a yacht.
What is the secret to photograph the last moments of sun each day? To begin we need a good camera with a powerful lens is not directed toward the sun. “Although there is a cloud or the sky is red,” says Drasner. In this way you get a beautiful picture without sunspots. ”
And what would be for Drasner the most beautiful sunset in the world?
Tahiti, where he saw his first light green, a meteorological phenomenon that occurs when the rays of the sun blue and green remain in the atmosphere for longer than yellow. “Not only was a flash-tells Drasner-but remained green glow for several seconds, and after seeing it I felt euphoric.”
But it is not necessary to be on a beach or sail the seas of the South Pacific to enjoy beautiful sunsets. Cities can also serve as the backdrop for truly impressive moments. Or so says Tony Wheeler, founder of Lonely Planet, without citing any remotely exotic beach or summit. Instead, Wheeler appreciates the things nearby.
“I’ve seen some great sunsets in the deserts and beaches,” he says, but one of my favorites is very normalito and mundane, from the roof of my office, in the industrial suburb of Footscray, near Melbourne. The cranes and containers of the Docklands district may resemble a picture of a Jeffrey Smart had been kicking acid, as the sun in a kaleidoscope projected decline reflected in the skyscrapers of the city. ”
Historically, the overnight retreat of the sun symbolized the peaceful end of a long life. If not, just ask any young bride who has danced with her father at the wedding, the rhythm of Sunrise, Sunset (Sunrise, Sunset). However, at the time the last rays of day gave way to darkness of the night, our thoughts need not be so dark.Specifically, says the beautiful sunset on Fire Island, a narrow strip of very valuable land near the coast of Long Island, (New York).
“Wherever you are on the island,” says Greenberg, “get ready to enjoy a real treat. When the sun sets, the light that bathes you becomes magical, almost reflective … and I do not mean in a scientific sense, but also a deeply emotional. ” After all, just as the sun sets every night, also leaves ever after, “thus allowing to relive our innocence, our youth, our freedom.”
And perhaps that, after all, the true definition of beauty.

Swiss fondue is good diet
It’s time for dinner and farm workers bits of bread dipped in a pan of melted cheese, a look that is typically Swiss as Heidi and her chalet, or the men who play the embroidered clothing Alphorn.
The fondue is still a staple of the Swiss diet and you can ask at any good fondue restaurant. But the recipes vary by region and the government has just published a cookbook in which he tried to solve once and for all the debate about the alcohol content of cheese and must have an authentic fondue.
The book says that the true fondue combines Gruyere and Vacherin cheeses Fendant wine and a touch of sweet German liqueur cherry schnapps. The book offers dozens of relatively simple recipes and delicious fondues.
“The issue of the amount of cheese used to divide the country,” says the book “Swiss cuisine.”
He added that his basic recipe is the classic fondue and the chefs seem to agree.
“It’s what he likes most people,” said Manuela Rossberg, the Fondue House of Lucerne.
The scarcity of the Swiss made products ideasen a number of dishes always had two things in abundance: beef and dairy.
The book tells how to prepare 140 national dishes, including some that have changed very little over the centuries, as those with a creamy melted cheese known as “raclette” or the mythical “Roesti, a potato preparation similar to pancake. There are also many desserts based on chocolate and instructions to prepare the favorite dish of the tennis player Roger Federer: a ragout of Zurich.
Switzerland The book divides into four regions based on their production of vegetables, fish, meat and other products.
The cheese fondue appears in the section devoted to the province of Fribourg, where peasants who speak both French and German produce the famous Gruyere and Vacherin cheeses.
These two cheeses are mixed in equal parts and the mixture is added a little white wine Fendant light, cherry schnapps and small amounts of cornstarch, garlic, nutmeg and pepper.
For the Swiss fondue dinner is more than just a meal. It’s an excuse to gather family and friends for hours, slowly dipping his bread with forks long in the saucepan Caquelon known as cheese, which is heated by a slow fire. The fans really enjoy the cheese fondue that sticks to the bottom, which the French, called “the religeuse” (“religious”) and barking at the end to put a finishing touch the food.
The book offers a technique for mixing the cheese helps prevent sticking to the bottom. “Make sure that the bread hits the bottom,” he recommended.
Share a fondue pot is a ritual in which they must respect certain rules. You have to stir constantly to prevent the cheese sticking to the bottom and be sure that one does not interfere with other diners who try to bathe the bread. Dropping the pan bread is considered a serious fault.
A common mistake for beginners is to drink water to combat thirst which gives the salt of the cheese. This generates a feeling of heaviness. The Swiss usually accompany the fondue with schnapps or the same white wine used in the preparation. Another alternative is a tea that helps digestion.
Those who do not like the cheese, the book offers dishes with meat, fish and vegetables that are easy to prepare, including the classic Roesti. Underlines that a specified use potatoes because they are very starchy not work. If you want to do well, boil the potatoes the day before, so you can scratch easily.
They are mixed with onions, bacon and cheese types, which vary by region. In the eastern part of the country, I served with sausages and onion sauce, on other sites with a fried egg on top.
In the past they ate for breakfast, but now rather ingested at lunch or dinner.
