The Most Jaw-Dropping Space Pictures Of 2014 For as long as we know, humanity has looked up at the sky and wondered about our place in this vast universe while marveling at the beauty of the stars.

As Carl Sagan said in Cosmos,"the size and age of the cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home."

This year was an especially big year for space observation and exploration.

In 2014 we've seen auroras transform the sky, been dazzled by solar eruptions, cheered as we landed on our first comet, and marveled at images of our fragile planet captured from other worlds.

Celebrate the New Year with Tips for a Lifelong Weight Loss Transformation from the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center

Making weight loss resolutions is easy, but keeping them can be difficult. This time, keep the motivation going long after the holiday is over.

Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) January 01, 2015

This year, resolve to make those weight loss resolutions stick. Holly Wyatt, MD and her staff at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center have discovered several secrets that contribute to long-term weight loss success. Wyatt is the center’s associate director and co-author of “State of Slim,” the book that shows dieters how they can create their own state of slim no matter where they live.

Wyatt focuses on the mindset as much as diet and exercise in her transformational weight loss programs. Her newest program is Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp. The first boot camps in October sold out and 2015 sessions are scheduled for March, June, and July.

To keep those resolutions long past the holiday and for lasting weight loss success, Wyatt encourages dieters to identify their personal “why” for losing weight, focus on positive aspects of weight loss, create a supportive environment and develop new habits to make healthy decisions. Her tips are just in time for the new year:· Find your “real” why: dig deep, identify your why and write it down. Recognizing your strong internal motivation will help you stick with new healthy behaviors for more than a few weeks.
· Be honest, are you really ready to make a change: how high a priority is your resolution? If it’s not an 8 or higher on a scale of 0-10, you’re not likely to stick with the necessary behavioral changes for long-term success.
· Out with the old, in with the new: new friends, new places, new routines and new behaviors all help with weight loss transformation success. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people makes it easier.
· Road map to success: you know what your New Year’s resolution is, now you have to map out the transformational journey. Exactly what will you do to lose those 15 pounds or train for a 5K? Achievement is in the details.
· Go public and get vulnerable: it’s scary but put yourself out there. Tell lots of people about your resolution. Good old-fashioned peer pressure makes you accountable. It’s harder to cheat when everyone’s checking up on you.
· Nobody’s perfect: no weight loss transformation journey is perfect. Life gets in the way. Have a plan to navigate the bumps in the road and stay focused despite the slip-ups. The body achieves what the mind believes.
· Don’t hold back: make the decision to achieve your resolution and jump in with both feet. Making a halfhearted commitment won’t cut it. Know your why, your what and your how, then go for it 100%.
· Score a quick win: nothing makes you more determined or gives you more confidence than quick success. Take your big goal and break it into bite size achievable chunks and feel your willpower skyrocket.
· Create an autopilot and cruise to success: resolutions get harder to keep after four to six weeks when the excitement wears off. Having a default autopilot plan in place makes it easy and boosts willpower. Reported by PRWeb 3 hours ago.

An Oregon bartender got the tip of a lifetime in October 2013 after a patron gave her a lottery ticket that was worth $17,500.

Aurora Kephart, 25, a bartender at Conway’s Restaurant and Lounge in Springfield, Oregon, says one of the regulars often hands her unplayed Keno tickets as a tip, The Associated Press reports.

"He lets me take whatever tickets I would want," she told ABC News. "That's a normal thing between us."

In October 2013, the man who wishes to remain anonymous asked Kephart to choose two tickets.

She won only $5 on her first ticket, but the second turned into a $17,500 jackpot.

"The look on his face was incredible," the 25-year-old told The Register-Guard, according to AP. "I automatically handed it back to him; it was his ticket.”

But the man refused to take it, making Kephart sign the ticket so she would be the only person to be able to collect the prize.

However, Kephart did later give the man a percentage of her winnings. "I just couldn't not give him some of it," she said.

Kephart said she plans to buy a new couch with the money and save the rest of it.

"I never realized how expensive couches were," she said. "Instead of waiting till Christmas or later, now I can buy something I really need."

Graebel SGMS chief executive officer have announced that the worldwide relocation firm has embarked on a global expansion and will introduce ground-breaking initiatives for its Global 100 and Fortune 500 clients. This comes following the divestiture of the Company’s U.S. moving services divisions, Graebel Van Lines, Inc., and Graebel Movers, Inc. to Robert and Vasilia Peterson.

Graebel Relocation Services Worldwide, Inc., Graebel Movers International, Inc., Move Management, Inc. and Graebel Commercial Services, Inc. are excluded in this transaction, and will continue to operate under the umbrella of Graebel Companies, Inc. led by William Graebel.

William Graebel enthusiastically stated, “This divestiture exemplifies our Company’s many triumphant transformations from our humble beginning to a respected, award-winning brand in the global relocation industry. Since 1950, we have strategically acquired or built business entities from the ground up. Our decision to sell the successful, legacy U.S. moving services divisions that are steeped in our family’s history is unquestionably the right move for everyone. For our clients around the world, our global enterprise is well positioned to be an ever more valuable resource.

Robert and Vasilia Peterson, respected moving industry leaders, have acquired a brand that is strongly revered for its highest quality moving and storage services in the U.S. The Petersons passionately share our family’s vision about service excellence, and in every aspect this is the right move for everyone!”

“Today, our clients are found on six continents and their expectations are vastly different compared to only a few years ago. For over seven decades we have consciously listened to our customers to proactively transform our organization and services to meet their present and future needs. It is for this reason that we opened and expanded several times our global relocation and mobility management centers in the APAC and EMEA regions starting in 2008. Starting this year, we will launch new value-added services in the global marketplace, and will continue our global footprint expansion,” further explained Graebel.

“The world’s needs are enormous. Graebel successfully tackles this challenge by proactively and continuously asking our customers ‘what do you need, how can we help’? At Graebel, we exceed expectations, because we listen to understand our customers’ changing needs. This successful divestiture marks our latest transformation, and the beginning of an exciting new era that will bring enormous benefits for our customers and for their relocating people around the globe now and for decades to come,” stated David Graebel.

“Graebel Van Lines is the premier choice for household goods transportation services. Year after year, Graebel Van Lines has earned our customers’ respect with world-class service and industry accolades. It is with complete confidence that I can attest that Robert and Vasilia Peterson will find the caliber of the people is beyond compare.”

“Graebel Movers, Inc. features modern storage facilities, and performs employee relocation to workplace services for local businesses to the Fortune 1000, government agencies, the military and residential consumers. This division has grown from a family-owned office with one truck in Wausau, WI to coast to coast centers in the continental U.S.,” added William Graebel. “No matter the market, the Petersons have the qualified people, superior facilities, and equipment that have earned the respect of customers and the U.S. moving industry.”

William Graebel concluded, “It is important to reiterate that an enormous amount of the heavy-lifting associated with a decision of this magnitude has taken place to ensure a textbook transition that will be seamless for all parties, and particularly for all Graebel customers. Because our organization has been built on understanding the changing needs of our customers, we will continue to work closely with and will collaborate with the Petersons’ management team. In conclusion, it is the objective of both organizations that this transformation will immediately raise and will forever elevate the bar for scalability, relevance and service excellence in consumer and workplace relocation services in the U.S. and around the world.”
