Remote working and teaching have really taken on new lives over the last year and a half. The COVID-19 pandemic caused many teachers across the country to have to educate their students from home.
There have been positives and negatives to e-learning. Some teachers struggle with keeping their kids engaged, but it has also proven to be effective in keeping people safe and distanced during the height of the pandemic. One of the benefits many people are touting about remote teaching is that it’s more energy-efficient. On the surface, it’s understandable why most people would assume that.
But, is it?
Sure, you’re not driving into work each day. But, if you’re having your lunch delivered via DoorDash, you’re still contributing to carbon emissions. Furthermore, you’re using more of your electricity each day than you would be if you were working in a school setting.
So, if you’re planning on teaching from home on a long-term basis, what can you do to be more energy-efficient? How can you do your part for the planet (and scale back your utility bills in the process)?
If you’re going to be spending most of your time in your home each day, it’s a perfect opportunity to make energy-efficient upgrades. You might consider building a new home or an addition to your current one with sustainable materials. But, if you’re happy where you are, there are still changes you can make to conserve energy, including:
While making upgrades to your home can cost money upfront, it’s a worthwhile investment if you’re going to be spending most of your time there. In the long run, these changes can have a positive impact on your utility bills, and you’ll conserve energy every day while you participate in e-learning.
If you have kids who are also learning from home in different areas of the house, these investments will “pay for themselves” even sooner. More people in the house means more energy use. Making energy-efficient changes with multiple people means big savings for you and a healthier environment for the future.
Spending more time at home also means using more energy at home. You might have “normal” habits that you were used to when you had to go somewhere to teach in person. Those habits probably didn’t use much energy at the time. But, if you’re doing them frequently throughout the day, they can end up wasting more energy than you might realize. Some examples include:
Even your eating habits can make a difference when it comes to your energy consumption. As mentioned above, it’s tempting to get your lunch delivered every day, especially if you only have a short time between your classes and don’t want to cook.
But, the carbon footprint of food delivery services is high. The average passenger vehicle that food delivery services use emits 4.6 metric tons of greenhouse gases per year. On top of that, unless the restaurants you’re ordering from use recyclable or biodegradable packaging, materials like styrofoam take 500 years to decompose. Take the time to make your lunch every day, or meal prep at the beginning of each week so you have quick, easy options on hand whenever you need them.
By changing some of your daily habits while you’re at home, you’ll start to notice a big difference in how much energy you’re using and how much you were wasting before.
When you’re teaching from home, having a dedicated office space is a great way to stay motivated and productive. If it’s where you’ll be spending most of your day, do what you can to make environmentally positive changes. That could include things like:
Additionally, take some time to “unplug”. It’s not only a good idea for your digital devices, but your well-being. Shut things down when you’re finished with work for the day and spend some time outside. Doing so can make you appreciate the environment even more, so your desire to live more sustainably will grow.
You might even end up teaching a lesson on it to your students.
Likely, e-learning is here to stay, at least in some parts of the country. There are plenty of aspects to it that keep teachers on their toes, including online safety, engagement, and technological issues. But, with a few changes, being energy efficient while you work doesn’t have to be something you stress over. Keep these ideas in mind while you’re teaching in an e-learning environment, and you can take pride in contributing to a healthier planet for your students.

The rich spectrum of nutrients present in CBD oil is a treasure for your skin. Embed it into your life, and this miraculous cannabinoid will leave you looking flawless, gorgeous, and fabulously youthful.
The many powerful properties of CBD for the skin have become the center of attention of several cosmetic and skincare products today. So, how can you introduce this spectacular ingredient to your regular beauty routine? Well, here we present five straightforward ways to achieve this.
CBD oil is an excellent ingredient to add to your skincare routine. The oil is enriched with cannabinoids, terpenes, and many vitamins and minerals and is an elixir to achieve flawless, youthful skin.
Massaging high-quality CBD oil, like by Sunday Scaries on the skin, enables the cannabinoid to bind to the CB receptors present on the skin. The compound hinders a free radical chain reaction that leads to cell damage, causing poor complexion and dullness on the skin. Smooth massaging movements with cannabinoid oil will improve blood flow to the skin, giving a healthy and glowing look. Don’t forget, CBD oil also triggers natural oil balance on the skin. So, whether your skin is oily or dry, CBD oil can make sure it achieves the perfect oil concentration for a glorious look.

Simply take a few drops of full-spectrum CBD oil and apply it to your face. Massage the oil in a circular motion and let it sit throughout the night. Wash with lukewarm water in the morning to enjoy gorgeous skin.
Face masks are a simple and elegant solution to hydrate, moisturize, and nourish the skin. They are quick and easy to use and form a critical part of the skincare routine. One effective way to leverage the benefits of CBD for skin is to add it to your regular face mask.
The advantage of cannabidiol in your face mask is that it can reduce dryness by introducing ample moisture, and all this without clogging the pores. It can give you a naturally dewy and plump look.
CBD Moisturizing Face Mask
1. In a small bowl, add the scooped avocado and banana. Mash the two ingredients into a smooth paste.
2. Add the lemon juice, CBD oil, and yogurt to the mixture and whisk.
3. Apply the face mask evenly and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
4. Wash off with cold water and moisturize after.
Skin impurities are the primary reason behind an array of skin problems. Starting from breakouts to pigmentation, dirt, and dust accumulating in the pores over time can have intense effects on the skin. So, what is the way to bid adieu to these harmful compounds? Well, it is CBD.
CBD oil can attract impurities lying on the deep layers of the skin and help cleanse them away. When combined with essential oils, CBD can clear up the pores without drying the skin. It can further act on inflammation and infections on the skin to treat them the natural way.

Using CBD to cleanse your skin at the end of the day can be very effective. You can utilize it as a makeup remover and simply wipe your face with a cotton pad dipped in the oil. It is much better for skin than alcohol-based makeup removers. Alternatively, you can use CBD-infused cleansers or face wash to get rid of the impurities.
Your winter beauty routine requires critical attention to moisturization and hydration. One simple way is to add CBD oil to your regular moisturizer. Cannabidiol expresses humectant capabilities that draw moisture from the air to retain hydration on the skin. It further preserves the moisturizing offered by the product in the skin for long hours, thus removing the need for frequent application. CBD also induces subtle sun protection properties to the skin. You can look for CBD-infused moisturizers for your face and body to stock up for this winter.
Weather change typically wreaks havoc on your lips. When the temperature drops, chapped and dry lips are inevitable. And when the sun is out gleaming in all of its glory, your lips are always at risk of experiencing pigmentation. In both cases, using CBD for your lips can come with ample benefits.
CBD in your lip products can induce extra moisturizing capabilities to ease dryness. It can further introduce mild sun protection properties that will protect your lips from experiencing intense sun damage. An elegant way to embed CBD into your lip care is through an infused lip balm.

CBD Infused Lip Balm
CBD is a potent cannabinoid for the skin. It can treat several ailments like acne, pigmentation, dryness, wrinkles, and dehydration and ensure smooth, supple, and flawless skin. Try these simple ways of embedding this incredible compound into your skincare regimen to enjoy the best benefits.

Laughlin, which I featured a few days ago, has five terrific golf courses. Los Lagos, Laughlin Ranch, El Rio, Huukan Golf and and Mohave. Spend the afternoon on the course, let the wife have a day at the spa, plan a concert, visit a brewery or distillery, and have a great dinner.

“Comics on Parole” hosted by: Dan Glazer and Stacey Silverman- Guests: Colonel Bruce Hampton – Comedy- Music By: Josh Harris- DJ Vanessa Hundley
Bruce Hampton was in the movie Sling Blade and many others.
I talked about the anticipation of this show a few months back and now want to give my eyewitness report.
iLuminate (pronounced eye-luminate) put on an electrifying opening night inside The STRAT Theater this week with a performance full of incredible dance numbers, fantastic costumes, great music, comedy, illusions, and more!
The show, which is performed entirely in the dark, was featured on America’s Got Talent where the group was proclaimed Best New Act in America and became finalists in their season, which now has led to much greater things.
In honor of the opening night, Mayor Carolyn Goodman’s office named Oct. 22 “iLuminate Day” and a proclamation was presented to iLuminate Founder Miral Kotb prior to the show starting. Our Las Vegas mayors do this for show openings, and it is always a highlight for the new folks in town.
Fans of all ages gathered after the show to meet the cast including mentalist and magician Banachek, who also performs in The STRAT Theater and attended the show with his daughter. The media was thrilled and will giving great shoutouts to this new pack of performers in our city.
iLuminate performs Wednesdays – Saturdays and Mondays at 10 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. which has been added since I last wrote about them. For me, this will be the show I will be attending whenever I have company in town. The Strat has free parking, the box office is at the base of the escalator to the 2nd floor on which the show is located. There is a full service bar at the entrance to the showroom.

Understanding in a relationship is crucial for lasting bonds. Do we know its meaning and importance? It requires letting go of being the center of attention and introducing respect, equality, space, etc. But are you ready to listen?
Ever heard that love is not enough? Although it may have sounded unromantic initially in our teenage or youth, later in the years of a relationship, you feel its meaning, word by word. Thus, understanding in a relationship becomes a key point for a bond to last. But despite knowing how common it is as a criterion today, not many try to decode its real meaning. So before going any further, let us get to the basics by finding the answers to what understanding in a relationship means.
In plain words, it refers to perceiving things from your partner’s point of view and taking actions accordingly in different situations. Despite sounding simple, couples find it the most difficult thing to execute. Because we always fail to see the latent words in the definition of understanding in a relationship like space, respect, empathy, adjustments, silence, communication, motivation, appreciation, and more. The fundamental requirement of understanding in a relationship is to decide when to provide what based on your partner’s needs. It requires putting real effort into knowing your partner.
Couples in the age of dating sites commonly fail at studying their partners. Accustomed to fast-paced dating, today’s generation is forgetting the importance of spending time getting to know their partner. Hence, the separations, which then increases commitment phobia in people. It could be avoided only if people could spend their time learning how to create understanding in a relationship. However, your presence here counts as a big step and shows your intention to build a beautiful bond, so let’s get started.
Allow your partner to speak and feel comfortable with you. Judging them on everything can make them feel uncomfortable and insecure, leading them to hide in a shell. If you are planning to improve understanding, let your partner be themselves with you so that they can say anything they wish to when needed.
One person is generally more dominant than the other in a couple. You could be that! But that doesn’t mean everything has to be about you. Let your partner shine as well; otherwise, instead of understanding, it will create suffocation.
The difference between a teenage and mature love is space. Adults, irrespective of their years of association, need to have their own life as well. They have their own minds, thoughts, and needs. Letting them free is a key requirement of understanding in a relationship.
Not always can you expect your partner to share what they want from you. A major part of understanding in a relationship requires you to study their behavior to know what makes them happy and conversely, what makes them upset or angry. Efforts and understanding never go unnoticed and always receive appreciation from partners.
Things may go wrong; it’s life. But reacting without getting an explanation shows the lack of trust and faith between two people. Giving the other person time to explain in their own time is an important part of the process.
Let the other person speak without interruption. Sometimes all your partner needs is a friend to pour their heart to. Irrespective of the side you take, your opinions may have an unwanted effect on your partner’s mind. It may lead them to go back to a shell without you understanding the problem and create a communication barrier. Alternatively, concentrate on building a space where they can comfortably pour their heart out without feeling conscious of every word spoken.
A couple is two people, two different people. Let that seep in because it means that you have two minds, two hearts, different mindsets, choices, and opinions. But just like you expect your partner to respect and even like you and your choices, you need to do the same. You cannot and should not expect your partner to behave in a way you can’t follow. Remember, they are not slaves but equal.
It is a process that you ace with time. Trying to find the intentions behind all your partner’s behaviors and actions helps you know your partner in a better way. It helps in solidifying the bond and increases dependability on each other which is the most valuable quality couples can have in a relationship.
Couples fail to realize that two things are very important in any association. First is communication, and second, behavior. Your partner mirrors your actions, so if you want a change in your life, you should first look at your flaws. While the first step is introspection, the second step to success is communication. The best relationships consist of transparency and trust. Instead of expecting your partner to understand your issues magically, sit down and do ‘the talk.’ Stop wasting time and get to action because the longer you wait, the more toxic things become due to the lack of understanding in a relationship. Do you agree?
