Here’s What Yoga Can Do For You…

You want to have a full life. You want to feel well. You want
lots of energy, vitality, power, and stamina. Am I right so far?

Well, the great news is that all these can be yours. Yoga
applies age-old secrets to everyday life in a modern, fast-paced
world. Its practical application can restore your lost youth,
put new zest into your every step, and empower you to fully
enjoy a sense of health, energy and creative living. All this
will do wonders for your future happiness…

Sounds good, huh? Well let me tell you a little about yoga…

Yoga is an ancient health-art developed and perfected over the
centuries by wise men in ancient India. Yoga is not a religion,
a metaphysical doctrine, or a philosophy. It is not magic,
although the amazing improvements it can make in your health,
your appearance and your youthfulness may often seem magical,
even miraculous…

There are many different types of yoga. Contrary to popular
belief, not all types of yoga involve difficult positions and
postures, uncomfortable exercises or strenuous diets…

Yoga can take years off your face and years from your body, and
add years to your life. There are certain secret methods by
which the Yogis keep the flexibility and “spring” of early youth
in their joints and muscles and limbs well into the declining
years…

It is a common sight to see, in the crowded, colorful streets of
Bombay or New Delhi, Yogis well into their seventies and even
their eighties, with the straight, graceful posture of a boy,
walking with the elastic, springy step of youth… with firm,
healthy bodies, their hair dark and glossy and un-streaked with
grey. Firm, unlined faces … clear, un-dimmed eyes…

Not only does yoga make you look and feel years younger, and
years healthier, but it lends your body superb health. It works
like magic because it enables the body to realize its full
potential of great health…

You know that Nature has built into your body certain certain
“defense mechanisms” for self-repair, natural safeguards against
disease. Well, modern yoga helps the body’s machinery function
smoothly, efficiently, and at peak performance…

Yoga encourages your body to derive every last possible atom of
nutritive value from the food you now eat (so different from the
natural diet of your ancestors) … to get every second of
refreshment and rest from your sleep … to attain regularity,
relief from little aches and pains, the ability to sleep deep
and wake refreshed that can make the difference from feeling
“pretty good” to feeling “terrific”!

Yoga assists all your muscles and bones and organs to operate at
their maximum potential. Yoga stimulates into peak performance
the hidden abilities of your body to throw off the attacks of
disease that affect so many people we know and love…

Do you suffer from insomnia and stress? Have you lost your
appetite? Do you find it hard to relax? Do you smoke too much,
feel “worn out” by the afternoon, find as you grow older that
you cannot enjoy full life and day to day vitality?

Yoga has the amazing power to relax and refresh you, soothe your
nerves, calm your mind, give you the serenity and strength and
inner stamina that is part of the “Magic of the East”. Yoga
prevents the premature grey in your hair, the ugly wrinkles in
your face….

Yoga tightens those sagging muscles that give you that “tired
look.” It puts new zest in your appetite, brings back the
sparkle in your eyes, and gives that wonderful sensation of
feeling “fit as a fiddle”…

If these benefits are important to you (and you’d be crazy if
they weren’t) then its time you learnt about yoga!

Sony Digital Cameras- the world leader in consumer electroni

Did you know that the first product manufactured by Sony was a rice-cooker! Yes, that is true. Started in 1946 by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita in a small room, Sony entered the market by making a rice cooker. It was in 1950, after the war had ended in Japan, did Sony create a tape recorder called the G-TYPE recorder. But it was not until the year 1957 that Sony was able to gain market leadership when it launched the world’s first pocket transistor radio.

Up till this time, Sony was operating under the company name of Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo. However, when Morita planned to take the firm to the USA, he thought that the name should be much simpler so that people could easily pronounce it. Hence, the term ‘Sony’ was coined -derived from the combination of the Latin word “sonus” which means sound and “sonny” which means little son.

It was not easy for a Japanese firm to establish base in the USA. And, Sony being the first to do so, the company had to overcome quite a few challenges. However, despite all odds, Sony came up with several new products such as the Trinitron colored television in 1968 which became a landmark in design and technology at that time. In fact it was with the Trinitron that Sony entered the USA.

After this, one of the biggest hits of Sony, the Walkman was launched in the market. It was not very well received in the market by retailers since it did not have any recording capabilities. But after its lukewarm reception, the Walkman slowly picked up… and the rest as they say is history. Then, another revolution in audio technology was brought about in 1982 with the introduction of the Compact Disc (CD).

As far as digital cameras are concerned, Sony was again the first company to introduce a digital camera in the market. Way back in the year 1989, the Sony ProMavica MVC-5000 was launched. The camera provided a 720,000 pixel image which was considered to be the leader in image quality at that time.

Today, Sony is one of market leaders in the digital revolution. Always striving to be different from other players, Sony has led the market in terms of innovative technologies and high quality items. Not only has Sony surpassed others several times by being the first company to make several new products, but it has continuously strived to provide maximum services to its consumers. The company has launched several new services such as the ImageStation.com. This helps consumers to create, share and enjoy digital pictures and video. Also included as a part of this deal are free online albums and eCards, wherein members can share their favorite pictures as gifts, keepsakes and high-quality prints in a variety of sizes.

What Is Your Real Worth?

Consider this. If it is possible to quote you as a person on the Stock Exchange, what would be your real worth?

Have you ever, in your wildest imagination thought that one day, it might just be possible to quote professional men and women, on the Stock Exchange? Never, you say. You in fact think it is just a figment of my imagination.

I agree with you. Getting personally quoted on the Stock Exchange might just be imagination today. But it can be real tomorrow.

Many things we see, live and work with today, were imagination years ago before they became reality. Name them. Space exploration, the internet, the digital camera, and many high tech gadgets. Today, technology has compressed the world into the cell phone in your hands. Those who put their imagination to work years ago are reaping plentiful harvest today irrespective of currency fluctuations and global upheavals of market forces.

So why not take a step of faith today, move ahead of your peers, trust in God who created you with the power of imagination, lean not unto your own understanding and just begin to meditate on this question: “If it is possible for me to be quoted on the Stock Exchange, what would be the real value of my stock?” How will friends, colleagues, the financial press and investors assess me? What is in me that will attract them to invest?
Years ago, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) was the only professional body enjoying the chartered status in Nigeria. Today, many professional bodies are seeking that status for their institutes and members.

A chartered status confers maturity, excellence, discipline, integrity, authority, added value and prestige on members. What stops them from seeking public quotation tomorrow and asking members to do same as a way of promoting professionalism and checking quackery? As a professional, what will distinguish you from professional fakes and pirates will go beyond your experience, professional and academic qualifications. It will be the real you that will determine the price of your stock in the Stock Exchange, that is, if you meet the requirements for quotation.

And doing so means submitting yourself and professional calling to the discipline and authority of a regulatory body that will seek personal quotation of professionals in the Stock Exchange.

Think about this. It will lead you to a sober reflection and thorough stock taking about yourself, your products and services, your business and relationships. Forget the amount of money you make and position in your career or corporate ladder. The question again. What is your real worth? No acting, no compromises.

If it is possible to privatize you through an Initial Public Offer of shares, would investors be interested to pick up your stock, believing they will reap dividends of professionalism.

What would be your real worth per share if you are quoted? Are you sure your personal stock will sell up to $1 per share?

Do not beat your chest and quickly claim that your stock will sell more than that because investors will subject you to same considerations and criteria they do for all their investments in the stock market. Are you sure any investor will buy into you because in investment considerations, there are no emotions. Investors are real in their approach. They have real money which they want to put in real persons, real business. And they want real returns, no acting, no stories.

Dear professional, you may be handsome or pretty, very intelligent, very qualified, and well connected.

So what makes you attractive to investors that will enable them to determine your worth, per share?

If I ask you your worth you will probably monetize your personal assets, wealth, qualifications, experience and goodwill and tell me your worth.
But you will hide your liabilities in ethics, character and content. But if I still ask you, “what is your real worth?”, you may hesitate or throw the question back at me: “What do you mean by your real worth?” I will tell you.

Your real worth incorporates what marketing experts call demographics and psychographics. They include age, income, wealth, assets, qualifications, socio economic class, personality, values and others. You know them. But what distinguishes your real worth in my understanding are your ways, integrity, talent, skills, beliefs, ethics, righteousness, character and your relationship with almighty God.

The last three factors are so vital yet so neglected even by stockbrokers and investment analysts. The new challenge is, how can brokers measure these factors? Their eyes and concentration are rigidly fixed on the bottom line, profits, assets and liabilities. All on figures, and Facts behind the figures, and never on the People behind the figures. That is why there is so much crookedness in many business sectors today.

But as business risks increase and global economic turmoil intensifies, soon, and very soon, attention will shift from figures, and the facts behind them, to people. This will herald the listing of professionals on Stock Exchanges worldwide, because the real issues are not figures, but the people behind the figures. So, what is your real worth?

Today, we have the Commodity Stock Exchange. One day, the Human Stock Exchange will come.

Are you prepared? Price, summarizes the value of anything. It measures the worth of any product or service. It can fluctuate, up and down, driven by quality, quantity, availability, and the market forces of demand and supply.

How can I have a price? you ask, I am a human being, good reasoning.
But that was valid years ago, not now. Today, everybody has a price. You have heard it before. But you have never really considered the wisdom of that statement, because you believed it more as a cliché than something real.

You have a price. Not the amount of money with which people can bribe you or buy your conscience. Your price is your real worth which requires plenty of wisdom and common sense to discern. You have often heard men say, “that girl is cheap”. Why do they say that? They are not talking of monetary value. What they mean could be, “that girl” may be easy to manipulate, take advantage of, used, tossed about, easily dazzled with material things and easily deceived with lies. Why then do men say she is cheap?

The girl in question may well be a chartered professional with a string of degrees and professional qualifications, memberships, experience, good pay, drives two cars and lives comfortably in a duplex. Yet she is branded cheap by a man who does not even earn up to a quarter of her income.

So what is the “cheapness”? It has to do with her dignity, self-respect, chastity, values, ways, and strength of character. She must have compromised some or all of these in her relationship with the man.

What could have caused this? Maybe it is because of the forces of demand and supply of husbands in the marriage market.

These forces are vicious, bothering a lot of aging spinsters, forcing them to compromise their values and standards in their desperation to get husbands. There are many aging spinsters in the marriage market today. So many of them And many of them are professionals, well connected, parading intimidating credentials, good income, yet one thing still eludes them, that is to get a husband.

The plight of these professional spinsters is not helped by the paradox in the marriage market.

While the spinsters are increasing in number and are aging, the number of marriageable men is decreasing. At 35, the spinster is really desperate to get married. She falls into the hands of “hit and run” men, full of lies and looking for desperate ladies to panel beat.

To hook her man, our dear spinster lowers her standards, maybe compromises her chastity, and behaves in ways the man considers cheap. She picks all the bills, and even pampers the man, all to get a husband. Yet she is ditched and branded cheap. How painful. If “spinster desperate” was to be quoted on the Stock Exchange, and the run away lover was an investment analyst, how would he value her stock? Would he advise investors to stake their money in this spinster? Spinsters, I ask you, what is your real worth?

The case of this class of spinsters is pathetic. Men touch them and go. They fast and pray, no husbands. Yet some men, who are not even qualified to be next in rank to them in corporate offices, have the temerity to say, “That girl is cheap”. The men take off to marry less “qualified” girls. What does this example tell you? Your real worth goes beyond your qualifications and material resources.

Dear professionals, do a personal audit of your life and your work. Are you real?

What is your relationship with God? If you establish a personal relationship with your creator, and you are real, no matter the odds, then your real worth will appreciate.

But if you begin to act and do it your own way without God, just because you want to get that thing you desire so much, your worth will depreciate.

Pressure on Pedals’ Tires - You’re More than Spinning Fast!

Experienced bicycle riders know that fatigue comes from how hard you press on the pedals, not how fast you turn them. Novice racers may try to ride with maximum force on the pedals, but they quickly exhaust themselves and often can’t even finish the race.

Cycling is a power sport. The number of times you spin your bicycle pedals in a minute is called your cadence, and your power is the product of the force that your feet apply to the pedals time your cadence. A study from Ithaca College in New York shows that a very high cadence does not help in shorter races (International Journal of Sports Medicine, Volume 26, 2006). Competitive cyclists were asked to ride a 5-mile time trial at their usual fast cadence. For most racers, this is more than 90 rotations per minute. They then rode a second 5-mile time trial at a 10 percent lower cadence and a third trial with a 10 percent increase. The riders raced far faster at the 10 percent reduced cadence.

A study from Toledo, Spain also shows that spinning the pedals too fast slows you down (Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, May 2006). Most bicycle riders do best when they chose gears that allow them to pedal at a cadence of 80 to 90. You want to pedal as fast as you can with the greatest force you can maintain on your pedals, but if you spin too fast, your brain cannot coordinate your muscles so you lose efficiency. Try to choose a gear ratio that allows you to spin as fast as you can and still feel some pressure on your pedals. If you have to push on your pedals so hard that your body moves from side to side, you need to reduce the gear ratio and pedal faster. If you are spinning faster than 100 times a minute, you are probably losing coordination. Bicycle computers that show your cadence are available in bike shops and online bicycle catalogs.

When you are going out on a long ride, try to keep a comfortable fast cadence. However, if you are going to sprint or race for less than 30 minutes, you will ride faster by putting more pressure than usual on you pedals, which will slow your cadence by about 10 percent. You can also use this technique to pick up the pace when you want to catch up with another rider.

Terrorists and Freedom Fighters

“‘Unbounded’ morality ultimately becomes counterproductive even in terms of the same moral principles being sought. The law of diminishing returns applies to morality.”
Thomas Sowell

There’s a story about Robespierre that has the preeminent rabble-rouser of the French Revolution leaping up from his chair as soon as he saw a mob assembling outside.

“I must see which way the crowd is headed”, he is reputed to have said: “For I am their leader.”
http://www.salon.com/tech/books/1999/11/04/new_optimism/

People who exercise violence in the pursuit of what they hold to be just causes are alternately known as “terrorists” or “freedom fighters”.

They all share a few common characteristics:

A hard core of idealists adopt a cause (in most cases, the freedom of a group of people). They base their claims on history - real or hastily concocted, on a common heritage, on a language shared by the members of the group and, most important, on hate and contempt directed at an “enemy”. The latter is, almost invariably, the physical or cultural occupier of space the idealists claim as their own.
The loyalties and alliances of these people shift effortlessly as ever escalating means justify an ever shrinking cause. The initial burst of grandiosity inherent in every such undertaking gives way to cynical and bitter pragmatism as both enemy and people tire of the conflict.
An inevitable result of the realpolitik of terrorism is the collaboration with the less savoury elements of society. Relegated to the fringes by the inexorable march of common sense, the freedom fighters naturally gravitate towards like minded non-conformists and outcasts. The organization is criminalized. Drug dealing, bank robbing and other manner of organized and contumacious criminality become integral extensions of the struggle. A criminal corporatism emerges, structured but volatile and given to internecine donnybrooks.
Very often an un-holy co-dependence develops between the organization and its prey. It is the interest of the freedom fighters to have a contemptible and tyrannical regime as their opponent. If not prone to suppression and convulsive massacres by nature - acts of terror will deliberately provoke even the most benign rule to abhorrent ebullition.
The terrorist organization will tend to emulate the very characteristics of its enemy it fulminates against the most. Thus, all such groups are rebarbatively authoritarian, execrably violent, devoid of human empathy or emotions, suppressive, ostentatious, trenchant and often murderous.
It is often the freedom fighters who compromise their freedom and the freedom of their people in the most egregious manner. This is usually done either by collaborating with the derided enemy against another, competing set of freedom fighters - or by inviting a foreign power to arbiter. Thus, they often catalyse the replacement of one regime of oppressive horror with another, more terrible and entrenched.
Most freedom fighters are assimilated and digested by the very establishment they fought against or as the founders of new, privileged nomenklaturas. It is then that their true nature is exposed, mired in gulosity and superciliousness as they become. Inveterate violators of basic human rights, they often transform into the very demons they helped to exorcise.
Most freedom fighters are disgruntled members of the middle classes or the intelligentsia. They bring to their affairs the merciless ruthlessness of sheltered lives. Mistaking compassion for weakness, they show none as they unscrupulously pursue their self-aggrandizement, the ego trip of sending others to their death. They are the stuff martyrs are made of. Borne on the crests of circumstantial waves, they lever their unbalanced personalities and project them to great effect. They are the footnotes of history that assume the role of text. And they rarely enjoy the unmitigated support of the very people they proffer to liberate. Even the most harangued and subjugated people find it hard to follow or accept the vicissitudinal behaviour of their self-appointed liberators, their shifting friendships and enmities and their pasilaly of violence.

Taking The Guesswork Out of Weight Loss

Nine out of every 10 individuals who lose weight gain it back. Given this fact, it would seem that engaging in a weight loss program is a gamble in which the odds of winning are very slim to none. Before you become frustrated and give up, you should realize that one out of those very ten people did succeed. What that means is that it can be done. The trick is knowing how they did it.

Years ago I embarked on a journey to study how individuals who succeeded in losing weight for the long term did it. I then researched the science behind how the body regulated weight. I came to understand that most weight loss programs fail because the programs are designed to disrupt the body’s natural mechanisms. It is this disruption that creates the battle where the individual eventually gives up.

To lose weight safely and permanently, you have to understand a concept in body functioning called homeostasis. In simple words, homeostasis means balance. The body always tries to maintain a constant environment. Your weight, just like your blood pressure or body temperature, is kept at a constant level. This level is called your set point. If you changed your external environment, your body will adjust to keep the internal environment stable. That is why a person in Alaska in the middle of the winter has the same body temperature as when they go to Arizona in the middle of the summer.

How then can you change your weight? First by understanding that there are certain food elements that your body needs, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins and water. If you deprive your body of any of these, it will start fighting you. Second, that your weight is kept in balance mostly by the effects of two opposing hormones, glucagon, that causes fat breakdown and insulin that causes fat buildup. You lose weight safely and permanently by giving your body all the essential food nutrients (not by dieting) and by shifting the balance in favor of glucagon over insulin. You achieve this by adjusting the foods that affect the production of these hormones. This eliminates cravings and constant hunger.

Also when you decrease the amount of food you eat, as in dieting, your body also decreases the amount of calories it burns to try and maintain the balance. This is why you must increase your activity level to maintain your body’s rate of burning calories.

Most weight loss plans fail because they do not take the powerful effect of homeostasis into account when the program was designed. When you are told, for example to avoid carbohydrates or fats, your body, through homeostasis, will create cravings for those foods and that’s what causes that uneasiness that lead the individual to eventually give up on the program.

The good news, again is that by shifting the balance in a gradual fashion without trying to completely disrupt it, you can obtain safe and permanent weight loss.

Who Should Trade a Mini Forex Trading Account?

A mini forex trading account is designed for those who are new to forex trading or when the trading account balance is less then $10.000.

Mini forex account key points

- Only $250-$300 to open

- Up to 200:1 trade leverage

- 1 pip = $1 for EUR/USD and GBP/USD

- Smaller trade size

Mini forex account advantages

Build up confidence starting small

A trader can trade a mini forex account using 1 mini lot and building up lot size slowly when he makes profits in his account. A general rule is to trade ONLY 1 mini lot for every $1000 a trader has in account. For example, if an account is worth $5000, trader can take up to 5 mini lots.

Develop a forex trading strategy

Because on a mini forex account, pip value is $1 = 1 pip, trader can pay more attention on building a solid trading strategy without focusing on floating profit & Loss (P/L).
Most traders with a small account balance trading on a standard account will tend to base trading decisions on profit &Loss and not on their trading strategy, they are emotionally too involved.

Their account balance fluctuations are so important that they even can’t think developing a proper trading strategy.
Their account size is too small for the lot size they take and every small pip loss can lead to a painful loss in their trading account.

Such traders will tend to take profits (too) soon and cut losses too late because they always hope the trade will make a reverse and come back.

Consider the following example:

A trader has a $2000 trading Account.

When trading a forex standard account, a 37 pip loss will result in a $370 loss in his trading account or 18.5% of his account balance. When taking the same trade on a forex mini account, a 37 pip loss will result in a $37 loss in his trading account or 1.85 % of his account balance.

Conclusion

By starting with a Mini account- a trader loses only a small amount on every losing transaction making it easier to stick to a disciplined trading strategy, in the long rum, this will lead to much better trading results.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy vs. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy & Bankruptcy Loans To Re-Establish Credit

Filing for bankruptcy can cause both mental and emotional burdens to a person and as well as with the debtor’s credit history.

After declaring economic failure, one can have a hard time re-applying for mortgages, loans, credit cards, life insurance and even a job, so one should get ready to rebuild his credit.

There are different types of bankruptcy, the two most commonly applied by many are the; Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which is the type of bankruptcy where in the person in debt, must petition the court to be freed from all debts following the liquidation of virtually all assets. A repayment schedule is negotiated with creditors as an alternative to asset liquidation. Now, we will be tackling more about this type of bankruptcy.

More often than not, the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy does not have any amount of debt limitation unlike Chapter 13.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is called the reorganization bankruptcy because a person may be allowed to propose a plan of reorganization or repayment so that they can continue with his business while paying for his debt.

Companies affected with this type of condition can still trade stocks. Unlike the conditions of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, the company can no longer exist because all their stocks will be liquidated.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy is almost certainly the most flexible of all the chapters, and the same time the hardest to generalize.

Bankruptcy Loans – You Can Re-Establish Your Credit Over Time

A bankruptcy loan can give the debtor a second shot to rebuild his business. As a matter of fact, the main purpose of filing for a bankruptcy loan is for you to re-establish your life and finances again.

For Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the person in debt must wait for 2 years after their bankruptcy has been filed for them to apply for a loan. The most effective way to re-establish your credit is by paying all the bills on the allocated time and retaining your credit card and a good credit rating and report.

The last thing a person in debt needs is to have another creditor while they are still buried with liabilities to pay. In applying for bankruptcy loans, one should be vigilant and cautious enough to read and understand all the terms and conditions made by the company. Also, have the determination to pay all the debts made, keep the budget tight if you want to get out of your tragic financial situation.
