You say you'll learn a new language every year, but few of us actually commit to it. Babbel makes it easy for you to learn one in less time than you think. Learning a new language is the pathway to discovering new cultures. So why not embark on learning something new this year? Babbel's quick 10 minute lessons, handcrafted by over 200 language experts get you to begin speaking your new language in less than three weeks or whatever pace you choose. Spending months with private teachers is the old way of learning new languages. And nothing screams tourist like holding a phone translation app up to your face all day. Babbel's tips and tools are inspired by real life stuff you actually need when communicating with a focus on conversation. You'll be ready to talk wherever you go. Knowing another language is nice and all when you're traveling and fun stuff like that. But let me tell you something, it comes in really handy in business. There's nothing like sitting in the same room eavesdropping on a conversation that someone's having in a different language because they think you don't know what they're saying. Know what I mean? I for one don't go around announcing that I perfectly understand Spanish. But I do. I do. So let's get you understanding and better yet, talking in a new language.

You ever look at someone and think, damn, they must have all the luck in the world? Of course you do. You have insta. In the age of social media where celebrities and super successful people can share their daily lifestyles, it could seem like some people are just hogging up all the good luck that exists in the universe. And maybe it's true. Maybe some people do have all the luck. Maybe we spend a little too much time and a little too much energy thinking about and worrying about those very fortunate and privileged people. But how much mental energy, how much thought have you put into those people on the opposite side of that spectrum? What about the very, very unlucky? You could tell who they are because they're usually buying lottery tickets anyway. We're about to delve into the unlucky side of the universe and tell you a story about a person who seemed to have some serious bad luck. Follow them everywhere. Roughly 75 miles south of Cleveland and near the edge of the Ohio Pennsylvania border, there's a large apartment complex named Compass West Apartments. This Austintown Ohio complex offers low income housing for those that may be struggling financially. And unfortunately, just as many places like it, it's known for being a haven of illegal drug use. At least that seemed to be the case in 2014. That year, a middle aged mother was living at Compass west apartments with her two teenage daughters. That mother was 46 year old Jackie Botcher.
