DREAM & Live-in for Literacy

Around exam time, it feels like students are at the library so often and for solong that they might as well just camp-out there. But its just the start of thesemester, and students are camping out at their university libraries for real!However, these camp-outs arent to facilitate studying. The annual Live in forLiteracy event, held at ten Canadian university campuses every year, featurestwo students camping out in their university library for seven consecutive days

(leaving only to go to class and shower) in order to raise money for differenteducation projects. The campers experiences are recorded live on webcam tobe viewed by audiences around the world.

DREAM (Discover the Reality of Educating All Minds), a studentorganization founded at Queens University in 2005, started this unique event toshow its commitment to supporting childrens education in developing areas ofthe world.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish andyou feed him for a lifetime.

This Chinese Proverb explains why it is important to provide primary leveleducation for children in impoverished areas: education has the power toeradicate poverty and improve quality of life over the long-term. Every year, theproceeds from the Live-in for Literacy event are estimated to enrich 5000 livesthrough some form of education.

Since 2005, DREAMs live-in events have raised over $120,000 for theglobal charity Room to Read to build nine libraries in Nepal, five libraries in

India, a computer lab in Cambodia, and has published 10,000 local languagechildrens books in India. If you would like to learn more about DREAM, pleasevisit: www.liveinforliteracy.com.

York Universitys DREAM team has come a long way since its inceptionin 2010 when it had only three members, two of whom served as campers atScott Library.

York University will participate in its 4th Live-in for Literacy event fromJanuary 18th to January 24th 2013. All grown-up now, DREAM at YorkU willhold its Live-in for Literacy event at three of Yorks libraries: Steacie, Bronfman,and Scott, with a pair of campers at each one. York University not only spear-headed the practice of camp-outs at multiple libraries on campus, but was alsothe first to mount the Sign to End Illiteracy campaign. To follow the campers onwebcam, visit: http://www.liveinforliteracy.com/webcam.php

This years overall fundraising goal is $27,000, in order to complete aschool project through Room to Read. Will you help support the DREAM?

Weigh-less Winters

Jenna Ulrich

With the holiday season over and the dead of winter in full swing, many peopleare concerned about packing on the pounds. This time is generally filled withfriends and family, parties full of alcoholic beverages, and functions filled withdecadent food. Not gaining weight during these frigid months is possible if youplan ahead and use self monitoring strategies.

One of the most effective strategies is to keep a journal of all the food you

eat in a day. This way you can look back and see if you really need that extraserving of grandmas fruit cake. Second tip- never go to a party overly hungry.When you reach a certain level on the hunger scale you are more likely to eatway too much before your stomach has the chance to send the signal to yourbrain that it is full. If you are heading out to a party and are feeling hungry, tryhaving an apple, a fibre-full snack, ahead of time. This will help to keep youfrom over indulging, as fibre helps you stay satiated. If you are going to a partyand know that there will not be many healthy options, bring along an appetizeryou know is healthy and that everyone will enjoy (see the recipe below). Thisway you will know that you will have something to eat so you can stay awayfrom the sugar cookies and pigs-in-a-blanket. If you are heading to a buffetstyle dinner party, try walking around the entire buffet before making your pick.Then only try the dishes that really stand out to you. It has been shown that themore variety people are presented with, the more they will eat. Try all the dishesyou want, but only a small serving size of each. Following these strategies willhelp keep you weight stable even while your calendar is full, and youre less

likely to be getting outdoors. Also, dont give up your regular gym session.Keeping steady dates with your treadmill will not only help prevent weight gain,but research has shown that people who exercise are more conscious of howmuch food they eat.

Using mindful eating tricks can help you to realize when you are

full. Here are a few things you can try:

Eating with chopstickseating Eating without distraction (T.V, magazine, etc.) Setting parameters for the table, such as no texting or answering the phone Putting down your fork after every bite Eating with your non-dominant hand

Some other easy tips to maintain calorie intake are:

Alternate each alcoholic beverage with a glass of water. This will not onlyhelp keep you from becoming inebriated, but it will save you approximately120 calories per drink (the average caloric amount in beer or wine).

Try waiting 10-15 minutes before going up for seconds. This will give yourbody time to digest some, and you may realize that you are already satisfied.

If you are the type of person that will keep eating just because there isfoods in sight, try having a conversation as far away from the food aspossible. Or better yet, take your conversation outside for a walk.

Quick and easy dip:

Mix:- 8oz Greek yogurt- 1 tsp parsley- 1 tsp cilantro- 1 tsp onion, chopped- tsp celery salt

Chill in fridge for one hour.Use as a dip for veggies like carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
