Article: It can be easy to fall into a rut with your schedule and feel like every day resembles the one before. Just because many of your daily activities are the same, though, doesn’t mean that your routine has to be unchanging and boring.  On the contrary, even little variations in your routine can make a big difference in your life, making you pay sharper attention to what you’re doing and think more creatively about your work and life.  Simply trying a new cuisine for dinner can inject variety into your life while motivating you through the less exciting, mandatory segments of your schedule.  For example, schedule dinner with some friends at a new restaurant so that you have this exciting prospect to look forward to after school or soccer practice. If you’re feeling bored with your daily jog or workout routine at the gym, try something different like a pilates class or try a new weight machine!  You’ll work new muscles, re-engage your mind, and maybe even meet some new friends. Studies have shown that new hobbies and skills can elevate your self-esteem, amp up your energy levels, and make you feel more satisfied with life.  And, while you might think your day is already jam-packed with class, sports, and other extracurricular activities, you’d be surprised how little time a new hobby can demand from you and how much it can add to your life.  For example, if you have work or club commitments until dinner time, think about trying out a low-key hobby that you can do at home, either alone or with other family members.  Jigsaw puzzles, complicated card games like bridge, knitting, and cooking are all rewarding, affordable hobbies which are easy to fit into the evening. If you’re already overextended in your evenings, think about whether or not you could fit something into the morning hours before school.  For example, swimming, jogging, and reading are all beneficial health-wise, and they can also have a positive influence on your mood and performance throughout the rest of the day. It might seem like your daily routine is monotonous through no choice of your own—that is, it seems like you’re required to do the same things every day and given little opportunity to do something different.  You’d be surprised, though, how many opportunities you turn down in favor of maintaining your routine.  Saying ‘yes’ more often can relieve pent-up stress, broaden your horizons, and bolster your self-esteem and interest in life. Just because you take your friend up on their last-minute invite to a concert or hockey game, doesn’t mean you have to slack on your other responsibilities.  Make a deal with yourself to do your homework in the car on the way to the concert, or ask a family member to cover your afternoon babysitting gig. Many activities are too expensive or impractical to turn into regular hobbies—for example, hot air ballooning, white-water rafting, or skydiving—but there are also plenty more affordable options, such as hiking, camping, geocaching, and laser tag.  These kinds of exciting, outdoorsy activities have been shown to have long-lasting impacts on people’s lives and perspectives, making them feel more appreciative about what they have, less bothered by petty concerns, and more self-confident about their abilities. If money is an issue, save up over time for big recreational treats like helicopter rides or rafting.  Tell your parents about your goal and ask if they’d be willing to contribute to your savings if you consider it a birthday or holiday present.

Mix up your daily routines and tasks. Take up a new hobby. Say 'yes' to new opportunities. Try adventurous activities.
Article: Rushing through your meals will make you end up eating more, since your stomach doesn't have time to send your brain the signal that it's full. Chew your food slowly and pay attention to what you're eating. Put your fork down in between bites, if that helps you to slow down. Avoid eating in front of the TV or while reading, since the lack of attention to your meal will have you mindlessly overeating. By alternating full-force cardio with small rest periods, you maximize your ghrelin level reduction (which will suppress your appetite). When a big craving hits, brush your teeth. The flavor tricks your mind into thinking that you ate something, and it puts you off your food for a few hours, since eating right after brushing makes food taste horrible.  You don't want to go brushing your teeth 5 times a day, though. Brushing too much can wear away the enamel on your teeth. Brush no more than 2 or 3 times a day. Chewing minty sugarless gum might be another good way to trick yourself into feeling full for awhile. Studies show that being sleep deprived causes us to eat more throughout the day, and also increases our affinity for high caloric foods . On the other hand, getting too much sleep can have the same effect. Aim to get 7 or 8 hours of sleep every night to achieve the "sweet spot" necessary to keep your hunger in check. Boredom is a major culprit when it comes to overeating. If you have too much time on your hands, chances are you'll fill it with food. Stay active all day long, whether you're at work or at home. Change things up by taking short walks, meeting with people in person, doing activities that require the use of your hands, and so on. Don't give yourself time to get hungry! Manage stress. Eating because you're sad, angry, or just stressed out is a great way to kill any diet. Stress causes the body to overproduce hormones that make you feel hungry, which is why the idea of reaching for cookies and ice cream to deal with bad news has become a cultural cliché. Manage your problems with meditation, exercise, and therapy so you won't turn to sugar and starch.

Article: Before embarking upon any attempt to write code, it's always a good idea to first understand the language itself. There are a number of available resources ranging from textbooks to online guides. For example, you'll want to know that an IDE (integrated development environment) provides a coding interface that handles things like text editing, debugging and compiling. You may also wish to better understand the way assembly actually works, like the fact that "registers" are what store the numbers associated with program code. Better understanding terminology will make it easier to learn the code-writing process itself. Remember that there are a number of programming languages, including some that provide far more functionality than assembly. There are, however, still a range of applications for which assembly is useful—from creating standalone executables for telephone firmware and air-conditioning control systems to developing certain processor-specific instructions. Assemblers like A86, NASM or GNU generally perform less complex functions and may be appropriate starting points for beginners. Every assembler works a bit differently, so subsequent instruction will work under the assumption that you're using MASM (Microsoft Macro Assembler)—a basic assembler that works with Windows operating systems. It uses x86 assembly language and Intel syntax.
