Exercise and Weight LossOriginal Article @ Lose Weight USA
Exercise and Weight Loss
Exercise is widely acknowledged as one of the best ways to keep away excess pounds, however people are often confused on how long they need to exercise for healthy weight loss.
Popular wisdom states that it is necessary to exercise for around an hour every day in order to burn enough calories to effect weight loss. This has lead to beliefs that a person doing walking exercise needs to cover 5 miles a day in order to lose weight, but this is of course not constant; in addition, people ‘lose’ energy throughout the day after exercise, due to an increase in their metabolism. Often, people struggle with higher-activity exercise, as it causes stress and wear upon the body, and therefore they prefer shorter bursts of high activity, or one long session of moderate activity.
A study has also shown that there is little-to-no difference between many short bursts of exercise, and one long session, when measuring weight loss, continuance of the exercise, and improvements in fitness. Multiple short sessions are obviously more conveniently fitted into daily life, and short exercise with equipment actually resulted in people exercising more often; it is shown that longer periods of exercise for weight loss, if only done infrequently, has no greater effect at all. Therefore, how long to exercise for healthy weight loss becomes a question of what kind of activity is being performed, and how often this weight-loss exercise should be performed.
Yale university conducted a similar study in which they showed that women exercising for 20 minutes (doing 8 seconds of running with 12 seconds of moderate exercise for the 20 mins) lost more fat than women doing 40 minutes of constant moderate exercise. Intervals became very popular for a while; and it remains one of the best ways of exercising for short periods while obtaining the results of a long period of exercise.
What these studies have shown is that it is not just a matter of how long to exercise for healthy weight loss, but the frequency of exercise, and the rate at which the exercise is performed. A high-rate activity will burn up calories more quickly than a moderate activity, and so less time needs to be spent on harder exercise to lose the same amount of weight as something more moderate. Running burns up about two times as many calories as walking; so running for 20 mins will help weight loss more quickly than walking for 20 minutes. Anyone considering how long to exercise for weight loss should bear this in mind.

Gold is Not a Bubble Its Going to 10000
Karatbar Gold
A simple rebuttal, however, is never enough when discussing gold. It will continue to be subjected to the most aggressive “perception management” assault of any asset class, because it is a direct challenge to all the world’s fiat currencies. Since no paper currency is convertible to gold at this time, this is some challenge. The warnings of bubbles and the many other reasons for not owning gold will continue unabated as gold persists to $10,000 an ounce, or higher.
Independent study of the underlying causes of gold’s rising price, in my opinion, is the best way to gain sufficient confidence to buy and hold gold long enough to protect one’s wealth through the turbulent years ahead.
In this article, we will look at three of the most significant reasons why gold is not in a bubble and will continue rising in value for years to come.
There are two ways of looking at gold. The first is the Western way, viewing gold through the lens of fiat currency training. This approach sees gold as a wealth-gaining asset that can be traded like any other asset class or commodity for currency gains. The second way is how the world’s major gold buyers at this time see gold. The Chinese, Indians and Middle Easterners see gold as a wealth-preserving asset that serves the purpose of money. The second group will ultimately be responsible for driving gold into the five-digit range. Many of these people have had direct experience of the damage to one’s wealth a currency crisis can cause. The most aggressive buyers, the Chinese, experienced 4,000 percent inflation per month between 1947 and 1949.
If gold were a commodity it would be in a bubble, but it is not. Gold has been money for over 3,000 years, and still is today. Although never officially recognized as such, gold trades on the currency desks of all the banks and brokerages, and is held by central banks. Since 2009, central banks have become net buyers of gold. Pension fund manager Shane McGuire makes the point in his book, Hard Money: Taking Gold to a Higher Investment Level , that gold and silver are really the newest asset class, not the oldest, since until 40 years ago they were money. Many readers will remember a time when silver dollars were exchanged in stores at face value.
To step outside a fiat mindset, we encourage our clients to think in terms of ounces of gold rather than dollars – a task that is much easier to do when one owns gold. We encourage them to ask questions like, “What is the risk in ounces of an investment?” and “How many ounces can I expect to gain in return?”
This perspective gives us the single most important insight into gold’s true behaviour, as it tells us that gold is not rising in value—currencies are losing value against gold. This means that gold, as money, can appear to rise in value as far as currencies can fall. In light of this, we can look at three features of gold’s rise that tell us it is not only not in a bubble, but unless current monetary policy is drastically changed, it will almost certainly rise to $10,000 an ounce and beyond.
These features are:
1. The loss of purchasing power of global currencies
2. The inflationary effects of money creation
3. Irreversible trends will continue to cause gold to rise
1. Loss of Purchasing Power
A basket of goods that cost $100 in 1800 would have cost $102 in 1900. During this time, the dollar was pegged to gold. Today that same basket would cost over $4,000. This is what we mean by loss of purchasing power. Over the past decade, the Canadian dollar, the euro and the Japanese yen have lost over 70 percent of their purchasing power against gold.
The US dollar and the British pound have lost over 80 percent.
Another way to understand this loss of purchasing power is by looking at the number of ounces it would have taken at different periods to buy a house, a car or the Dow. In 1971, an average car cost 66 ounces of gold; an average house cost 703 ounces of gold and the Dow cost 25 ounces of gold. Today, 66 ounces of gold would buy nearly four cars, 703 ounces of gold would buy two houses and only 6.5 ounces of gold would be needed to buy the Dow.
2. The inflationary effects of currency creation
In 1983 Webster’s Dictionary defined inflation as:
“Inflation is an increase in the amount of money, resulting in a fall in its value and a rise in prices of goods and services.”
Since the presidency of Bill Clinton, government Consumer Price Index (CPI) reports have moved from being a fixed measure of a standard of living to a flexible measure of a standard of living. Through a variety of machinations such as hedonic regression and substitution (if steak becomes too expensive, remove it and substitute with hamburger), these measures grossly understate true inflation. Currency debasement (a term derived from the Roman practice of hollowing out gold and silver coins and filling them with base metals), leads directly to inflation.
In the few dozen hyperinflations that have occurred throughout history, all have been the direct result of governments attempting to compensate for slowing growth through currency creation, which is exactly what we see happening today. This currency creation has already turned exponential.
Fortunately, one economist, John Williams of ShadowStats continues to track the original basket of goods governments used to track inflation prior to the early 1990s. His data shows inflation running at a much higher rate than is publicly acknowledged. His CPI is at 12 percent, over eight points higher than the “official” inflation reports.
Eventually, we will have to admit the truth about inflation, the truth that anyone who eats, drives or sends their children to college already knows.
Gold would have to trade @ $15,234 and Silver @ $348 an ounce.
3. Irreversible Trends Will Continue to Cause Gold to Rise
Finally, there are many independent trends that are having a direct impact on the price of gold. The most prominent are central bank buying, Chinese and Indian buying, the movement away from the US dollar, peak gold and under-investment in gold by pension funds.
Central banks were net sellers for nearly two decades until 2009, when they officially became net buyers. We can expect this trend to last two decades as well. During the gold “bull” market of the late 1970s, the Chinese public was not allowed to own gold. Today, their government encourages gold ownership, and has even made several significant innovations to facilitate this goal. The Chinese government has also led by example, with China’s central bank publicly stating it would like to increase its reserves from 1,100 to 6,000 tonnes. Unofficially, they have stated a target of 10,000 tonnes.
There can be little doubt that a race to exit the dollar is underway, as governments feel the US has no choice but to continue debasing their currency just to meet existing obligations. Peak gold, like peak oil, occurs when gold miners fail to increase production or discovery despite the rising price of the underlying commodity. Gold production has fallen since 2005, and is only slightly higher in 2010. To quote a recent exhaustive Standard Chartered Bank report:
“In our study of 375 global gold mines and projects, we note that after 10 years of a bull market, the gold mining industry has done little to bring on new supply. Our base-case scenario puts gold production growth at only 3.6 percent CAGR over the next five years .”
With pension funds holding less than 1.5 percent of their assets under management (AUM) in gold bullion, they will have little choice but to increase their position as gold continues to outperform all other asset classes.
These trends are significant, but they are all capable of being changed, however unlikely that may be. What cannot be changed are the “irreversible trends.” These have an indirect impact on the price of gold; they are causing growth to slow, and are therefore creating the need for governments to compensate through ever-increasing currency creation.
Three of the most significant “irreversible” trends are:
1. The aging population
2. Outsourcing
3. Peak oil
The largest population sector, the baby boomers, are starting to retire, and living longer than any previous generation. Their demands, which previously fuelled growth in the global economy, will reverse. They will downsize, reduce spending, liquidate investments and draw down on pension funds, social security and medical benefits. This will reduce GDP, increase unemployment, reduce government revenues, increase budget deficits and require even greater currency creation. This will reduce confidence, further debase currencies and result in increasing gold prices.
With the advent of globalization and outsourcing, politicians and multi-national corporations have let the genie out of the bottle; this has resulted in the decimation of the manufacturing base in Western economies. This will manifest as systemically high unemployment, reduced GDP, higher government deficits and further currency debasement. Again, this will lead to higher gold prices.
In September 2010, a German military think tank reported the German government was taking the threat of peak oil seriously and preparing accordingly. Numerous studies around the world have concluded that we are very close to peak oil production, which will be accelerated due to Gulf drilling bans. This will lead to higher price inflation for most goods, reduced GDP, higher trade deficits, and higher budget deficits. More monetization will result, thereby debasing currencies. Higher price inflation together with further currency debasement will again be a driver for higher gold prices.
Like a spinning top must continue spinning or fall, our modern economic debt-based fiat system depends on perpetual growth. It is disturbingly similar to a classic Ponzi scheme, which requires new borrowers to bring currency into existence that can be used to pay the interest on the previous loans. The greatest threat to its health is slowing growth or deflation. With interest rates near zero, central banks have only one tool left to combat slowing growth—currency creation, which means inflation. These irreversible trends, therefore, virtually ensure gold will continue rising in value for years to come.
In conclusion, I know many readers are hesitant to buy as they feel they have “missed the boat.” Perhaps this Chinese proverb will help:
The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago.
The second best time is today.

Online Marketing
Yes, you hear it over and over from me, that most people do not know what Online Marketing is! I mean real Online Marketing! Do you know what it is, or do you think you know what it is?
Most people think they know what it is, because they followed their up-line in their business opportunity and they follow to do what they do so they will make one day all that money they make! Or better said, they believe that this person makes all that money he or she are telling you. Well, this is may shocking to you, but most people in any MLM business opportunity are not making the money they are claiming, but slowly they start to make good money, because they become so good in selling their lies. They have a motto “Fake it until you make it!”
They are all good in selling people a dream, from getting fast rich, no financial problems any more and living a lifestyle of the rich people. Now, there is a big different of getting rich working on the Internet and getting quick rich scams!
Getting rich on the Internet are people who know what Marketing is, they have the product or service people want or need, and they are a real business with real customer service. And they are here for a long term! All this others who want you to join now or you will miss out to make that big money are only here to cash fast up and than they are off the Market! Or better said any business that is in pre-launch or launch a new business will be out off business before their first 3 years. Every other business that is already over 5 years on the market and don’t sell you a dream of getting quick rich is a real business. Again, good management of any business brings a business to success and can make the owners or partners wealthy. Again, real businesses are not here to cash fast up, they are here with a long-term goal and they offer good products or services and they improving their products or services all the time.
Now I said on the beginning that most people do not know what online marketing is and it is easy to spot it. Everyone that just put adds or comments of sales pitches on other people blogs, wall or spamming other mail box with it, should better quit before they lose all their money and respect of others included families and friends. Building a real online marketing business required research the trend of the market, analyzing of competitors and knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, knowing your goals and your competitors Strategies. As you see real marketing is about 80% research and analyzing and 20% taking the right action. And 0% of Sales Pitches of getting fast rich!
Are you serious of building a successful online business, how to market it the right way with advertising? Then you need the right tools and training, and the goal to make it happen, than only will you succeed with any kind of business you will offer to the public.

Having a great Idea of a Product or Service dont mean that your Idea will make you money. Before you even spend you time, effort and money into this project, you must analyze the Market and see is your product or service even needed or wanted on the market.
Some ideas may look good at the beginning, but as soon you make more research and check out your potential customer, you may discover that your idea is not the right thing the market want, but you may figure out that you be able to make changes in your product or service and than develop a hit that is desired in the niche of your market.
Marketing Analysis not only saves you a lot of your hart earned money, but it also give you the opportunity to become successful on the market. The biggest mistake what a lot of people making, special in the MLM, resell or direct marketing business, is that they think when they start that business and spamming people about this opportunity that they will get fast rich. What most do not realizing that a lot of product may overpriced and only for a limit market or that some are outdated and have no market anymore and that the only buyers are the ones that started this business opportunity.
Marketing Analysis also means to check out the success rate of that industry, what the trend of buyers are and that the product of your business opportunity even has customers. Recruiting people and only having them as customer never will make your business successful. In the same time case studies also shown that successful businesses are the ones that deliver a service or product the market wants and they selling it to customers.

Is Procrastination Holding You Back?
Original article at About.com Market
From C.J. Hayden
When you look at your marketing to-do list, do many of the items on it look all too familiar? Have entries like call Donna Sanchez and follow up with Floyd Corp been copied from a previous week? Putting off unappealing tasks may be human nature, but for an entrepreneur, procrastination can be deadly.
Delays in contacting a prospect can lose the business to the competition. Failing to get the word out about an upcoming event may forfeit dozens of opportunities. Wasted marketing time can never be recovered. By the time you realize you might not make your goal for the month, quarter, or year, it may already be too late.
Finding tasks on your to-do list week after week is a clear sign you are procrastinating, but it is not always this obvious. Can you identify with any of these situations?
Feelings of overwhelm. You have a backlog of work that seems insurmountable. You wake up in the morning already thinking about everything you must accomplish that day. It seems impossible to get it all done. If you are routinely unable to complete what is on your list in the time available, you may be creating the problem yourself by putting tasks off week after week.
Making excuses. You find yourself constantly having to make excuses to your business buddies, referral partners, potential clients, or even your coach about why you never followed up on that great referral, that important sales call was not made, the marketing package was not sent, or the proposal was not written. After a while, the excuses begin to sound flimsy, even to you.
Trivial pursuits. You notice that you are doing unimportant chores, rearranging your desk drawers, filing old business cards, shopping for just the right desk, surfing the Net, while neglecting crucial marketing activities.
Overflowing pipeline. A form of procrastination unique to entrepreneurs and salespeople is continuing to develop new leads instead of contacting the prospects you already have. If you are spending more time attending networking events or reviewing lists of names than getting on the phone, putting your fingers to the keyboard, or driving to appointments, this problem may be yours.
If you ARE procrastinating, what then? Begin to change this habit by getting in touch with your motivation to do better. What rewards, tangible and intangible, do you get from your work? Remind yourself of that payoff on a daily basis. Post a picture or note that represents those rewards to you on your calendar, phone, or dashboard.
Break down each of the activities you are having trouble with into small steps. Pick what seems like the easiest place to start, and block out time on your calendar to make a beginning. You may find that once you are taking action, the rest seems much less difficult than you had feared.
If you find that you really do have too much on your plate to have enough time for marketing, it is essential that you cut back on some of your other activities immediately. A business without marketing is not a business; it is a hobby.
Create more accountability for yourself by telling a buddy, support group, or coach exactly what you plan to get done each week. Ask them not to accept any excuses from you, and to remind you why you said you were doing all this in the first place. You can partner in this way with a colleague by setting up a weekly check-in where each of you reports to the other.
It may take time to break the procrastination habit, so give yourself permission to fail a few times. Remember that even a small amount of progress may be allowing you to achieve more than you ever have before.
