Michaels Traffic Videos

Michael Cheney Talks Traffic - Interview With A Traffic Expert

Michael Cheney, one of the most-respected names in Internet marketing, has been online since 1995 and is the man
behind the 6-Figure launches of AdSense Videos and 11 Days To List Profits. He has unveiled a new videos product -
"Michael's" Traffic Videos" which covers
everything to do with traffic and comes with 100,000 instant ad credits and a tailored Fast-Track To Traffic Action
Plan.

We managed to grab some time with him recently and quiz him on his favorite topic - traffic.

You'll get a lot out of this interview including a killer 40-page E-book on traffic that Michael has written to
help you avoid the Top 20 Traffic Disasters!

So let's get started.

Q. Firstly Michael, thank you for joining us today in your busy schedule.

A. Hey no problem. Good to be here.

Q. We all know that traffic is important but could you just explain a bit about traffic for the
beginners out there?

A. Sure. Traffic is the lifeblood of any business online. Without it you just die. We all know
that. But what a lot of us don't realize is that just like everything else on the Internet traffic changes very
quickly. That is, the methods of getting traffic are changing all the time and that's where people get caught
out.

Q. What do you mean by "caught out"?

A. Well people fall into the trap of thinking that just because they know one or two traffic
generation methods that they are some sort of traffic master. In reality just because you know how to start a pay
per click campaign or a little bit about search engines doesn't make you anywhere near a traffic expert. I'm trying
to spread the word that there is a massive array of traffic tactics that most people aren't even aware of, let
alone using or mastering.

Q. Can you give us some examples?

A. Sure. Offline for example. You might immediately think that getting traffic is a purely online
activity but the truth of the matter is that there are lots of things you can be doing offline to get people into
your website. And it's usually these sorts of areas that are being under-utilized and therefore there is less
competition for that traffic as well.

Q. So by offline you mean advertising offline?

A. Not necessarily. That is one method, yes, but I'm thinking of more creative ways to get people
into your website. It all comes down to the fact that having asked people on my list it came as no surprise that
most people want to know about free rather than paid traffic sources. I've had to become an expert in free ways of
getting traffic in my time online.

Q. What do you mean - I thought you were running a successful online business with lots of cash
flow?

A. I am. But it's not always been this way. When I first started out in 1995 I had nothing. No
money to play with. Just my own initiative and imagination.

Q. So are you saying you're against paying for traffic online?

A. No. No I'm not saying that at all. What I'm saying is that, especially when you first start
out, you always want to focus on the free methods. You get the traffic in for free, make some sales and then you
can reinvest some of that money into paid methods of getting traffic. This speeds up the process.

Q. So what particular offline methods are you referring to - can you give us some examples?


A. There's one tactic I used that costs nothing to implement, is relatively quick and ended up
getting me thousands and thousands of targeted visitors into my websites. When I've shared this tactic with other
marketers at seminars they've started laughing and slapping their foreheads when they saw how easy it was. They
were also embarrassed that they had failed to use this tactic. It was quite amusing.

Q. So are you going to tell us what this method is?

A. No! (laughs) It's in my course! I truly believe in rewarding those people that are most eager
to learn so instead of giving away all my traffic tactics in interviews like this I've put some of them in an E-
Book I've written. It is free though if people want to get it.

Q. So how can people get hold of it?

A. It's called "How To Avoid The Top 20 Traffic Disasters" and you can get it by going to Michael's" Traffic Videos - you'll see it
mentioned on that page.

Q. What's in it?

A. Well I really wanted to raise the bar on a free E-Book so I spent a lot of time creating it.
It's 40 pages long and stuffed with juicy content on what NOT to do when it comes to traffic. As far as I'm
concerned too many people out there tell you what you should do but not what you shouldn't do. That's where this E
-Book comes in.

Q. Okay. I think we're about done is there anything else you want to tell everyone?

A. Just that if they are serious about getting more traffic into their website they need to goto
Michael's" Traffic Videos and get that
free E-Book.

Q. Cool. Well thanks for your time Michael and speak to you soon.

A. My pleasure. Speak soon.

John

There's a new AdSense and YPN rival!

Hi there, I just came across it today and had to tell you right away.

It's called Fair Ads Network. And it makes sense considering everything they've done to ensure not only the

advertiser benefits as much as possible, but also the publisher. There's no more unfair practices where the

publisher gets the boot every so often without warning and there's no more over-populated ads from the advertiser

and wasting their money.

I predict, in just the next several weeks, you'll hear about people becoming a FAN and not because they're some

popular rock band or well known celebrity, but because everyone is falling for their fair treatment. It's

undeniable.

http://fairadsnetwork.com/339030234565

FAN introduces the first ad network of its kind. You can earn an income regardless of whether you sign up as a

publisher or an advertiser. In fact, you can register as both! They didn't stop there though, you can even transfer

your funds back and forth as you please! They give you total control of everything.

FAN is a very unique species in that they MAKE you be active without putting a gun to your head just so you can

continue to make money every single month. The strategies and concepts applied to this ad network is beyond human

and should be investigated by NASA. Before they do though, perhaps you should scurry on over there first.

Another reason to go now is because they are only accepting a limited number of members! They are partnered with 2

multi-million dollar companies and backed by a handful of millionaires. They would not have that kind of support if

the potential is not there.

From one FAN member to a soon-to-be FAN, see you on the inside!

Sincerely,
John Caldecott

Stress in your marriage.

Stress in your marriage.
By John Caldecott

Have you been married more than five years? Do you find that the tension between you and your spouse has been on the rise? Stress in the marriage is more common than most will think, or want to believe, but you can put an end, or at least ease up on the stress in marriage by following a few common things. You want to work on how you think about things, how you come across in the marriage, and in what you say, and you want to change the time that the two of your spend together.

Change how you talk to lessen the stress in your marriage
Think before you blurt anything out in a marriage. You may feel very comfortable in your relationship, and you may feel you can say just about anything aloud, but the truth of the matter is when you call some one stupid, or idiot, even in a joking manner it is going to hurt the relationship. Take the stress out of your long-term relationship by thinking about what you are saying before you are saying it.

Change how you act, and how you are around your spouse
Remember back in a time when you were dating, you were happy to see your spouse? You were happy to spend time doing your hair, picking out your clothes and such? Put that feeling back into your life by thinking of how you are going to make your spouse fall in love with you again every day. This is going to put the spark back into your relationship and will take the stress out of your relationship.

A lot of stress involved in a relationship is the lack of trust. Stressing out about where your spouse is, why they are working late, or just where they are in general will eventually put a major strain on the relationship. Take the stress out of your relationship and out of the marriage by putting trust back into the equation. It is going to be difficult if not impossible to not trust your spouse. Trust is going to put all the strain and stress behind you so the two of you can work on being together for the rest of your lives.

Stress in your marriage is going to appear not only after you have been married for a few years, but also when children appear in the family, and when money matters are tight. Take your stress and focus your energies on something constructive in the situation. If you are find you are stressed about money, find ways to save money. If you are stressed about the children, find a sitter for the night and unwind a little bit. Every problem, every stressful situation does have an answer and you can work through it.

Stress and traveling

Stress and traveling
By John Caldecott.

Traveling to and from work can be stressful. Traveling with children can be stressful. Traveling out of the country or on an airplane can also be stressful. To lessen your stress while you are traveling you need to prepare yourself for the trip, for where you are traveling too and you need to keep your stress levels down so you enjoy your trip for the entire time you are out traveling.

To reduce stress while traveling too and from work, leave yourself plenty of time. In allowing yourself an added fifteen minutes, you can easily reduce the stress you feel in traveling to work everyday. Reduce stress you feel so you are not in a hurry all the time. Waking up early or at least on time all the time is going to help you reduce the stress your feel daily. Reduce your stress while traveling to work by turning the radio on, and listening to some soft music, or at least music of your choice. Soothing noised music you love, is going to help you turn that stress away.

Reduce stress while traveling with children. To reduce your stress, you need to travel at night, when the children are sleeping, or bring along activities that are going to keep the children occupied while you are traveling. Videos, DVD’s, board games, music and such as all great way of keeping your children occupied while you are traveling so they don’t stress you out. Children can easily become bored and cranky. Make sure you are traveling in the shortest routes possible, and during the times when children are not hungry or will want to get out and move around in the sun. Traveling is easiest first thing in the morning and late in the evening.

Stress while traveling is going to be less involved, less noticed if you are to remain calm and cool while you are standing in line, standing waiting to eat, waiting to cross a bridge, waiting to get through the tunnels, even while you are waiting to check into your hotel. Be patient. Remember, you have all the time in the world; you don’t have to be any where at any particular time. You are on vacation and waiting, in slow lines is all about part of being on vacation and while traveling. Take a deep breath and read your book, listen to your music, talk to your family and think about all the good things that are bound to come yet. Leave stress behind by preparing yourself mentally to wait and to be more patient.

Stress and Teenagers

Stress and Teenagers
By John Caldecott.

Every teenager is going to face some amount of stress in their lives, from the family, for their grades, in getting a job, in getting their drivers license, stress with friends, stress and drugs, and so much more. Helping your child through stressful times in their life is going to be important. As you teach your teen to handle stress, and not to handle stress for them, but on their own, you are going to be teaching them life skills.

Your teen is going to face stress, when grades come out. To fight the stress about grades, talk to your teen about how they are doing in school all the time, not just at report card time. Voice options, such as, if they get a bad grade, offer to help them learn the subject. Spend extra time learning about history or calculus and get the teen interested in getting a better grade. To get a better grade, a teen has to work hard all semester. One failing grade can be overcome and shouldn’t be a matter of too much stress. Avoid the stress of failing for the year by giving your teen the opportunity of a tutor, or of your own abilities in that subject.

Your teen is going to have stress in their life when it comes to peer pressure. Pressure about doing drugs, cutting school, and stress about having sex. Giving your teen information about what they can have in life and what they won’t have in life if they are to make the wrong choices is going to help them avoid stress. Help them choose the right friends, help them to have fun without drugs, and provide options of where they can hang out so they won’t be tempted to make the wrong choices. Without knowing it is ok for a friend to come over and watch movies all the time, a teen is not going to bring friends home. Give your teen options and leave stressful situations behind, as they learn to make choices that are not going to cause worry, stress, and possible problems in the future.

Every teen is going to feel stress about having sex at some point in their life. To make the transition easier, a teen should be able to talk to a parent, or to an adult about sex and what to do about pressure. If a teen does not feel ready to have sex, they will shun away from the situation, change friends, and drop a girl friend or boy friend. These are normal situations. To give your teen help during these stressful years, don’t urge on relationships. If a choice has been made, let it be. Teens make choices because they feel they believe in the outcome. Give your teen advice, but don’t try and make their decisions for them. If you come on too strong, a teen may just do the opposite just because they want to prove you wrong so avoid giving only ultimatums, but tell the teen about choices for the best possible outcome.

Stress and being in debt

Stress and being in debt
By John Caldecott.

Money is a source of stress, no matter how much you have, or don’t have. Stress is brought about by worrying what you are going to do with your money, where you are going to get money, and how you are going to pay the bills next. To lessen the stress in your life, you are going to have to make your money work for you, and your budget. Being on a budget, and sticking to that budget is going to lessen the stress in your life.

If you have too much stress in your life because of stress, you first need to sit down and think about what you have. You have money coming into the home for work, or from any other source. The money you have coming in usually is not going to change. Now you have to seriously think about where you spend your money. If you are spending much of your money on eating out, on going to the movies and not paying the bills, you have some serious thinking to do. You need to list all the expenses for the home.

It can be stressful thinking about how many bills you have, but in the end, you are going to shorten the stressful times in your life as you take control of your bills and expenses. In reviewing where you are spending your money and how you are spending your money, you will have to make a few decisions. Decide where you are going to find an extra $100 per month. This could mean you don’t eat lunch out, that you don’t go to the bar everyday, or perhaps that you are not going to stop at the store every day after work but just one day a week. You need to cut bills, and cut the stress about money in your life so you can feel better about your finances every day.

To cut stress about money, you should also put a plan into effect that will help you create a savings account. A savings account can be started with just five dollars a week. As small as that may be, when you really have an emergency you don’t have to stress out about money because you will have a few bucks in the savings account that will get you through that emergency time. Learn to cut on expenses, and save money, both are great methods of cutting the stress in your life when it all comes down to money!

Godbless, John.

Learning to Cope with Stress

Learning to Cope with Stress and Children
By John Caldecott.

Children can be a major change in your life. If you are suddenly finding it difficult to handle your children or that you are now in charge of raising children, you need to learn to handle stress, and to remain calm through out the many problems that children can ‘throw’ at your family and into your life.

To keep calm, no matter what the situation you have a few alternatives, you can make a joke about it, you can breath deeply or you can walk away. Depending on the seriousness of the situation and how upset you really are, will also determine just what you are going to do at the moment when you feel that stress attach coming on. For some, a stress attack is felt as you clench your teeth, others notice your voice is rising, and sometimes, you may even feel your heart race a bit, and for a continued time.

Facing your problems head on is going to aid in lessening stress right away. For example, your daughter just brought her boyfriend home and they are heading to her room. Simply avoid stress, by telling your daughter, sorry, friends have to stay in the family room, rules are rules. If she doesn’t like it, she will have her boyfriend leave. If you aren’t speaking your mind, you are going to feel your blood boiling the entire time they are in her room, no matter what age she is or what you may be told they are doing. Breathe deeply, and start out with a solid voice. As you approach the situation you are in control, and you are putting stress behind you. As you are in control, you are reminding the child you are the parent and that what you say goes.

What you will find is that you have many ways of remaining in control, even if your son or daughter is being defiant. Perhaps your daughter continued walking to her bedroom with her boyfriend, what are you going to do next? Make a joke about it! Go to the basement, flip all the breakers, make the house dark. Make the stay unwelcome and make it known. There will be no computer no lights, no music when the lights are out. When the daughter comes out of the room to inquire what is going on, you can sit in the family room with a few candles and state to your daughter that you don’t know what is going on, and that maybe they should come down where the lights are. You never have to let anyone know about your ‘joke’ but you will feel less stress, because you are in control.

While these situations may seem a bit silly, they can actually be quite aggravating on the parents stress levels, and health levels. It is vital to remember to control a situation, and to be in charge, you are going to feel less stress about any situation involving your child. Keep yourself under control, be in control, breathe deeply, and do something about those things in life that are causing you stress! You can use this simple story to apply to many situations your children; your teens are going to ‘throw’ at you to keep your sanity!

So you think you know traffic?

So you think you know traffic?


Let's be honest here - there's nothing really
new left to know about traffic is there?

You'd be surprised. I've just gone through what
has to be the most comprehensive course on traffic
that's out there (no it doesn't cost $1000!) and
let me tell you..

..you are probably only using a tiny percentage of
the available traffic methods that exist.

Sure - the time and tested ones are still effective
but in the past year or so brand new methods have
sprung up that you need to master.

If you don't master multiple traffic methods you
seriously risk getting left behind in the dust of
your competitors.

Traffic has moved on you know.

In fact, what you're now dealing with is 'Web Traffic
2.0' - it's an entirely different beast.

If you can start applying just one or two new
traffic tactics (and this course makes it super
easy for you to do it as I'll explain in a
minute) then you could easily double your sales
and income.

So who's behind the course and why am I raving
about it?

Well, it's from Internet marketing expert Michael
Cheney who has been online since 1995. What he
doesn't know about traffic is, quite honestly,
not worth knowing.

You might have heard of Michael's AdSense Videos
or his 11 Days To List Profits course.

Anyway, this time he's really pulled out the stops
and offered what I believe is the ultimate all-in-one
traffic solution for you for three reasons;

#1. You get instant traffic as the package comes
with 100,000 ad credits to get you an immediate
influx of traffic

#2. You get 50 How-To videos that show you step-by-step
exactly how to get masses of traffic into your
website

#3. You get a tailored Fast-Track To Traffic
Action Plan that guides you every step of the way
to get masses of traffic into your website as
quickly as possible

So there you have it - if you want more traffic
(who doesn't?!) then you need to get your hands
on these great videos and the instant traffic
that comes with them;

I couldn't believe it was free either...

Stop me if you've said any of these:

"Wow. Another week, Another $500 product launch."

"Where is it going to stop? $1,000? $1,500? $2,500?"

"How come I can't find any Products where I
can 'Plug In' my Affiliate IDs, send traffic
and earn revenue?"

"I'm not a rocket scientist - I don't know the
difference between FTP and CPR."

"How can I get in on this 7 Dollar Craze without
developing my own product?"

"If that guys system is so good, why can't I
try it for free? Is he too scared to let me try
it because he thinks I won't buy it?"

Well, I've got the solution for you.

...

Before I let the cat out of the bag on this new product,
let me ask you a couple of questions

What would you be willing to pay for your very own
high traffic information product mall?

These are not just any information products. They
are the very popular 7 Dollar Products that have
been taking the Internet marketing world by storm!

What if we loaded hundreds of quality 7 Dollar Products
and you could earn up to 100% commission on each and every one?

And if I said there were residual revenue programs that
can earn you affiliate revenue on auto-pilot?

And what if I told you there was nothing to download,
install, no databases to configure, no updates to perform?

And if I told you you could get it for FREE. Zero!

And finally, even if you purchased all the UPGRADES
possible to unlock the full potential of this product,
if would cost less than $50. One Time (not Monthly)

So - Now I'm telling you that. All of it.

Seriously.

Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself

Tips on buying the cigar for you

Tips on buying the cigar for you
By John Caldecott


King Edward VII, President Ulysses S. Grant, Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx… these are names, and not mere names, but

names that are huge in history. Could you draw out any difference or any common point among these men? Well, the

fact is-they were all heavy cigar smokers.

Cigars and men, what is with this pair? In the past, there was that stereotype that only rich males are the ones

who smoke cigar. Nowadays, there is no definite line that separates the rich men from the not-so-rich men when it

is going to be based with cigar smoking. Any man and today woman could buy and enjoy a stick, sticks or many sticks

of cigar.

There is one thing certain. There is a difference between the excellent and poor cigar. You must know if that cigar

is worth-buying. There are certain tips to follow when buying one.


Observe if the wrapper has smooth and a bit shine feature. Make sure that it does not have blemishes and it

must not be too firm.
Give the cigar a gentle squeeze. This way you would be able to determine if indeed it is good enough if it

is resilient to hold its shape when you press it.
Refrain from choosing a cigar with soft or hard spots because it is a sign that it is not of good quality

and not of good construction.
Try to take a smell of the cigar and if it does not have that aroma, drop it off.
Refrain from buying a lumpy cigar. Yopu could check out if its lumpy or not by giving it a gentle squeeze.

Also check the wrapper. Reffrain from picking cigars that have wrapper discoloration.
Make your present more special by adding up a cigar cutter or an ashtray that would impress the receiver.
Give it with sincerity of course.
It is fun to hear lines like: “Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar." This is according to Sir Sigmund Freud. "A

woman is only a woman: but a good cigar is a smoke.” this one is according Sir Rudyard Kipling in his poetry. This

only shows how cigar smoking is regarded by men since then.
Now, even women are into smoking. Despite all the health hazards, people still go on smoking for no general reason

at all.
What matters is that smoking must be done with moderation and responsibility. Not merely smoke because you want to

show-off your so vcalled “manly’ thing.

Godbless, John Caldecott.

The five for the freshmen

The five for the freshmen
By John Caldecott

When you are just into cigar smoking for the first few times, you must avoid smoking those strong-flavored cigars

for you are not yet used to them and it may just cause you effects that you do not want handling. We would be very

glad to help you get to know what the five cigars that could suit you.

These are not that strong for you but not to bland that you would not enjoy the smoking time at all. Well

generally, beginners must really settle for what is light or mid-strong when it comes to cigars.

• Flor de oliva torpedo

This is a cigar from the Oliva family, who is well-known in the cigar industry for years. This produces a mild to

medium mild taste with a dash of sweetness. A stick of it would cost you a dollar and fifty cents. As its medium

component, it is made of Nicaraguan filler. You could freely choose or get to know more of this cigar online.


• Baccarat Luchadores

The only weakness it has is that you may not taste that rich taste the first time you try. With the idea of keeping

them in humidor, this is not the best move. This type of cigar tastes well especially when straight from the box

rather than out of the humidor.

• Punch Grand Cru Rubusto

Many smokers of this wish that it could be made longer for it really taste good. The taste is really great

especially if it is stored in the humidor for some months, Honduran cigars with the nice blend of tobaccos, it

could surely be very teasing for your taste buds. A stick may let you spend 3 dollars and 50 cents each. This is a

very well-constructed cigar as well.

• Arturo Fuente Curly head

From the Fuente group of cigars, this type may be a part of the lowest bracket of Fuente cigars when it comes to

price at one dollar and fifty cents. This rich hand-made Dominican cigar would surely be enough for beginners. The

mild to mid-mild taste would be great for those who are not into smoking cigar for such a very long time.

• Excalibur number 5

Hoyo Monterrey is the direct seller of this cigar and it is Honduras made as well. Stick costs 3 dollars and 25

cents. There are different ranges but Excalibur number 5 compared to 1, 2 or three is mild, tasty and really tasty

if kept in a humidor.

When you are a beginner in smoking, do not let it stop you from tasting the rich cigars. You have the choices; it

is all up to you to savor the tastes that would surely be great for you. There are loads of cigars out there in all

corners of the world but these are simply the best for beginners.

How to buy a good cigar

How to buy a good cigar
By John Caldecott


The smoking culture has been existent for ages and it has been one of the consistently growing market. Tobacco is

the major product related to the smoking industry. Tobacco is the source of cigar which is one of the must-haves of

males and even females especially in this modern times.
History tells that cigar smoking was common in the Latin American region which includes countries such as Brazil,

Mexico, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua. Same with Cameroon, Honduras, Indonesia and it includes Cuba and the United

States of America. These are also areas where a large quantity of tobacco was grown at first.
Christopher Columbus is said to be the first to introduce cigar in Europe. Ages after, cigar smoking has been

having this association with masculinity, high social status, liberalism- that makes cigar an interesting part of a

special smoker’s habits. In special occasions, it could be a good form of present for a friend, a colleague, a

boss, a patner… How do one buy a good cigar for a present?
Find out stores specifically smoke specialty stores that sell a great selection of cigars including those

which are extraordinary. Make sure not to neglect cigar quality.
Consider the smoking experience of the person you would want to give your present to. This would determine

if the size and diameter of the cigar would suit his or her taste. The cigar diameter is directly proportional to

the richness of the flavor. Cigars that are bigger in diameter and richer in taste are more appropriate for

“experienced” smokers. For “greenhorn” smokers, longer cigarettes with cooler smoke is commendable.
See to it that the cigar is of good quality and that it is made of one hundred percent tobacco. Some cigars

are more of the non-tobacco components like paper, glycerine or saltpeter.
Refrain from buying a lumpy cigar. Yopu could check out if its lumpy or not by giving it a gentle squeeze.

Also check the wrapper. Reffrain from picking cigars that have wrapper discoloration.
Make your present more special by adding up a cigar cutter or an ashtray that would impress the receiver.
Give it with sincerity of course.

There is nothing wrong with cigar smoking. Just see to it that it is being done in moderation.

Concerns on buying cigar for smoking

Concerns on buying cigar for smoking
By John Caldecott


“Smokers do not grow old, they die young,” this is a dictum every Science and Health book may mention. It has

something to do with the health hazards a cigar could bring.
Throughout the ages, cigar smoking has been undisturbed by many health campaigns even with the numerous struggles

of battling against it, people seem not to totally feel the threat it gives to lives. It has been built-in with the

culture and culture is too tough to be metamorphosed. Even non-smokers are affected. Second-hand smoking poses

health risks more than what direct smokers have.
With the soaring growth of cigar advertising, more and more smokers are into the modern day picture. Smokers must

just make sure that they do it with moderation.
In looking for cigar, there are these qualities of a cigar that a smoker must consider in order to savor what a

stick of cigar could offer. When other things are best served when fresh, cigar and wine re-examines with this

line- “the older, the tastier”. The cigars must undergo the necessary process of fermentation before it could

really be of “good taste”.
What are the qualities of a good cigar that is worth your money?
It burns evenly all the way down when lit; it is of good quality because if it does not, it means that it

does not have a proper roll.
The cigar produces a firm ash while smoking; it is another sign of good quality. If the cigar has a firm

end, it also makes it a good one.
the cigar is of good quality and that it is made of one hundred percent tobacco. Some cigars are more of

the non-tobacco components like paper, glycerine or saltpete
No to lumpy cigars. You could check out if its lumpy or not by giving it a gentle squeeze. Also check the

wrapper. Refrain from picking cigars that have wrapper discoloration.
The general criterion of cigars that must be used in determining if it is good or bad is through the following:

body, flavor and aroma. In choosing the cigar for you, these three are the elements of gauge.
Cigars come in varied flavors like Spice, Cocoa or chocolate, coffee, not or wood. They also come in different

wrappers, fillers and binders.
A part of the history and culture, it could be really impossible to eradicate smoking cigar in the everyday

endeavor of people anywhere and everywhere.

Cigars versus cigarettes: which is the lesser evil?

Cigars versus cigarettes: which is the lesser evil?
By John Caldecott.


There are claims that stress how much cigars are safer to smoke than cigarettes. Well, this is no a fact at all. It

just so happened that cigar smokers are only occasional smokers and majority of the smoking population are into

cigarettes so the gauge of how cigars is not that obvious. But, it must be known to people that cigars are not

safer at all.

The following are the reasons that would tell you that the choice of smoking cigar is not lesser evil than smoking

cigarettes.

• Tobacco is much in amount in cigars than cigarettes. This fact makes cigar much dangerous for as we all

know, there are harmful elements found in tobacco. According to studies, a single cigar contains more tobacco than

a whole pack of cigarettes.
• Experts identified that cigarettes are containing lesser nicotine. Compared with 8 milligrams found in

nicotine, cigars have 100 to 200 milligrams. This only shows how much danger cigar could cause over cigarettes.
• A single cigar a day increases the possibility of acquiring cancer. Cancer involving the lungs, as well as

the pancreas is common for those who are into cigar smoking.
• Cigarette smoke is not as toxic as cigar smoke. As what is shown by studies, cigars must undergo

fermentation, this stage produces some of the most cancerous elements. Another thing is that the cigar wrappers are

less porous compared to that of cigarettes. This has something to do with combustion. Proper combustion decreases

the amount of harmful elements of a cigar or cigarette.
• For men, cigar smoking is associated with sterility or some problems like erectile dysfunction. The harmful

components of a cigar is penetrating much on hormones that may cause this disorder.

These are just some of the harmful effects of cigar smoking and how harmful it could get comparing to cigarettes.

The issue here is not what to smoke, cigar or cigarettes? He point is that, smoking is not beneficial at all.
Yes, you harm yourself and even harm innocent secondhand-smokers.

How to make a gel candle

How to make a gel candle with an aquatic theme
By John Caldecott.


The beach is always well-loved by many people. This is a picture of peace and serenity. “Beach” as a theme is

really common for parties, fashion, videos and… candles? Yes, it is possible. The candle industry is now getting

experimental about the designs to use. With candles usefulness, it could also be made in such a way that it could

fit into the modern way of living- that is trendy and comfortable.

Trendy- bracing some dashes of style, candles could be very good accessories for the home. In order for you to

bring that fun atmosphere of the beach, why not bring that sand and sea mood at home?

These helpful tips may let you try more options:



1. Find a container that would best hold into form the candle you have in mind. Make sure that you will be

using non-flammable containers. Use glass if available, they could show the gel, choose something with a touch of

aqua blue.

2. Plan to have the wick like about 1.5 inches from the sides and dribble a spot of hot glue on the bottom of

the container you used.

3. Stick the wink on the hot glue and let it cool down for a few minutes. Don’t use cotton as core wick, zinc

is the best choice.

4. For the gel, cut the gel wax into small parts or cubes and place it into a container and heat it up. Make

sure that the heat is not too hot or too cold. 200 Fahrenheit could make it melt well.

5. Maintain the advised temperature until such time that the wax would melt and turn into a smooth and a bit

thick liquid. For more attractive effects, you could use coloring materials that would create a better effect to

the product.

6. Do not use coloring materials that would make the gel lose its transparency. Ignore the use of water-based

and paste dyes as a combination. They do not complement each others components.

7. Pour ¼ of essential oil or gel scent for more effects that would make the candle “marketable”. When pouring

such, add more wax cubes if there is a “cloudy” effect on the liquid.

8. Scents you use must be alcohol-free. For the aquatic theme, choose a “cool” scent than those which are

fruity or musky.

9. When you are about to pour the candle liquid on a container, set a level mark and make sure that the liquid

will not pass over it. Put some seashell beads, aquarium gravel, sand, aqua blue glitter, pebbles, and others. Do

it by layer.

10. Make it a point to preheat the container (150 degrees). This would minimize the presence of bubbles that

may ruin the form of the finished product.

11. Then pull up the wick and be sure that it goes up in the center of the candle. Let the candle cool

down for 3-4 hours. Trim the wick at about ¼ inch.

12. You could vary the designs of your aquatic candles by mixing and matching colors and objects like starfish

and clouds, sand and stars, boat prints and pebbles are just a few of the numerous possibilities.


The sea, sand, bikinis, waves, hats, flip flops… the beautiful sights one summer afternoon could be reflected by

your home made candles. This could set off as a mere past time but entrepreneurial opportunities may knock on your door.

Gel candles are easy to make, affordable, convenient, and they could be those attractive possessions of your home.

Dealing with Asperger Syndrome.

Dealing with Asperger Syndrome.
By John Caldecott.

Asperger Syndrome is a relatively mild form of autism that effects people in different ways than regular autism.

Because it usually does not affect language, many people with Asperger Syndrome go undiagnosed.

This is the one form of autism that is usually not caught at an early age and is instead a disorder that develops later in life.

Asperger Syndrome, however, can be a very difficult condition to have, so as soon as you suspect yourself or your child of having communication and social behavior problems, see your family doctor.

Many famous and successful people were diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome.

Historians even suggest that Einstein and Mozart each suffered from this disorder.

It is important to note that no form of autism is a form of mental retardation.
In fact, most people with Asperger Syndrome are very intelligent.

Asperger Syndrome does not dictate mental ability, but rather makes it difficult for people to communicate in social settings, much in the same way a typical autistic child has trouble with behavior in groups.

When this disorder goes undiagnosed, children do not get the help they need, leading to problems in school such as bullying.

Most children are relieved to find out they have Asperger Syndrome instead of just thinking they are less of a person.

By getting diagnosed, not only can you or your child put a name to the problems, but it is then also possible to get treated to improve your overall situation.

Some symptoms to watch out for if you suspect Asperger Syndrome are some of the same symptoms that people with full-blown autism experience.

This includes social confusion, first and foremost. Many people with Asperger
Syndrome find it very difficult to deal with transition or change, wanting everything to stay the same.

A quickly changing environment is especially confusing.

People with Asperger Syndrome also may say rude or inappropriate things when they don’t mean to do so, and may not be able to understand others’ thought processes.

Another common trait they share with autistic individuals is fixation, although people with Asperger Syndrome usually have more control over their fixations, which take the form of highly focused interests.

If you suspect yourself or a loved one of this disorder, these are just a few of the signs for which you should be watching.

You doctor should be able to answer further questions and provide both reading material and treatment for this disorder.

The History of Wall Street

The History of Wall Street
By John Caldecott.

When people in the media, or just people in the know, refer to the various stock markets in lower Manhattan in New

York City, they usually just refer to Wall Street. The now famous financial district has become synonymous with

large amounts of money, power and influence. But how did one street manage to evolve into such an important address?

Ironically, most major investment firms that helped to build Wall Street into the financial force that it is today

aren’t even headquartered there anymore. Thanks to technology advancements, these companies are usually

headquartered in other parts of Manhattan or in neighbouring New Jersey or Connecticut. One of the most influential

companies in Wall Street history, J.P. Morgan moved from the address that they helped make famous in late 2001.

The name Wall Street was actually given to the street since it formed a boundary to the New Amsterdam settlement in

the early 1600’s. To help ward off the British, a 12-foot wall was built around the street to keep out invaders in

1653. In 1792, the Buttonwood agreement started the New York Stock Exchange and its headquarters would be on Wall

Street.

In 1889, a newspaper that would eventually become the Wall Street Journal began publication. The paper took its

name from the fact that a growing financial district was sprouting around the stock exchange and many companies

that would go on to be powerful forces in the United States economy were headquartered there.

One of the most well known symbols of Wall Street, the JP Morgan headquarters, was built in 1914. The building

still stands today, but is now owned and run by Deutsche Bank.

Wall Street has seen its fair share of history over the years, with the 1920 bombing that killed around 40 people

and injured 400 to the great crash of 1929 that saw some people kill themselves. Today, if you check the front

façade of the JP Morgan building, you can still see pock marks of the 1920 terrorist attack.

The construction of the World Trade Centers were the only real major architectural change to the financial district

in the last half of the 20th century, and their subsequent destruction has left a void in the hearts and minds of

many that work and live near there.

The history of Wall Street is a collage of incredible highs and devastating lows. As the center for American and

some would say world finance, you can bet that there will be plenty of memories made on the most famous street in the world.

The October 27th 1997 Mini-Crash.

The October 27th 1997 Mini-Crash.
By John Caldecott.

The mini-crash of 1997 is remembered better today for what didn’t happen than what did. For the first time in New

York Stock Exchange history, trading was halted for the day for the first time ever due to losses in stock prices.

What made this event so controversial is that the “circuit-breaker” system that was used for the first time that

day was run on the idea that once the market has lost a certain number of points, trading would be halted. This was

seen to be short-sighted since the actual percentage of value lost when trading was halted was relatively minor

compared to other market crashes and corrections in the past. The circuit breaker system has since been corrected

to only stop once 10 percent, 20 percent and finally 30 percent of the market value has been lost.

As is always the case with trading on the American stock markets, the ripple effect that would turn into a tidal

wave started with the Hong Kong market. The Hang Seng Index fell about six percent the night before, but many

experts in the US didn’t bear it much mind since the Nikkei average lost only two percent that same day. As markets

opened in Europe, they followed suit with their Asian counterparts, with the FTSE losing about 2 percent and the

DAX exchange in Frankfurt falling, as well.

As markets opened in the United States, most predicted a bad day, but no one predicted what ended up happening. The

NASDAQ, S&P and the Dow Jones all opened lower, and it was pretty much all down hill from there. Just after 2:30 in

the afternoon, the Dow had dropped 350 points, causing the first level of the “circuit-breaker” to go off, halting

trading. While a 350 point drop is significant, many did not feel a stoppage in trading was warranted at that time,

since a drop of that size is relatively small, percentage-wise. Thirty minutes later, trading began again, only to

see the 550 point window smashed around 3:30. This second circuit breaker level usually causes a one-hour break in

trading, but since there was only 30 or so minutes left, trading for the day was ended.

This correction was seen as a slight bump in what was otherwise a good year for the Dow. The 550 point drop was

just over a 7% loss for the day. It turned out to be the 12th biggest percentage loss in a single day in Dow

history and third biggest point loss.

The Skinny on Online Investing

The Skinny on Online Investing
By John Caldecott.


The world of stock trading has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. Trades that use to take more than a

week to process now take only moments. While once you needed to have a stock broker to make a trade for you, now,

from the comfort of your own computer, you can make as many trades as you like, and at a much lower commission than

your grandfather would have paid to make the same trade 50 years earlier. The world of online trading can be very

tempting to many. Investing is a lot like gambling, with possible huge profits and even bigger losses possible. But

how do you know if online investing is for you?

The first question you need to answer is do you have money to burn? Of course, none of us want to toss our money

down the drain, but you have to be prepared for the worst. Most online investors are armed with a copy of the New

York Times, online subscriptions to several investment websites as well as strong word of mouth from family and

friends, but even with all this information, some investments don’t go the way you want them to. Make sure you have

room in your budget so that you can afford to lose some and still be secure. Online investing can be addictive, so

you should know when to stop.

Be prepared to arm yourself with as much information as possible. While it’s true that even the most informed

traders make mistakes, the more you know, the less likely this will happen. This means immersing yourself in

reliable, timely and knowledgeable advice. If you’re not willing to take the time to properly educate yourself, you

might want to leave investing to your broker.

A good investor has to learn to be patient. While it is tempting to take on the human herding instinct and put your

money on the latest trend or the most fashionable stock, those investors that are confident and patient usually

come out on top.

If you’re new, stick to blue chip stocks. There is a reason they are called blue chips, they have shown slow and

steady growth over long periods of time. There is no such thing as a safe stock, but blue chips are the closest

thing you’ll find. A good tip is to always leave a portion of your investments in blue chips, so if the rest of

your investments go south, you’ll have something to fall back on.

Online investing can be exciting and fun, but it can also be terrifying for a newbie. Do the research, develop some

patience and stick to familiar ground and online investing can be a great way to develop your portfolio without having to bow to mainstream brokers.

The Wall Street Crash of 1929

The Wall Street Crash of 1929.
By John Caldecott.

Maybe no event in American financial history is better known and more infamous than Black Tuesday, the day the stock market crashed and ushered in a depression that would grip the United States through the first half of the next decade. But what caused such a horrible event and what can be learned from it?

The stock market crash that most people associate with Black Tuesday, was actually a multi-day process. The previous Thursday, the market began its downward slide, with trading setting an all time record with 13 million shares trading hands that day. The Dow had reached an all-time high just a month earlier in September of 1929 with a close of 381.17. A group of bankers met during that Thursday to try to figure out how to stop the slide and they decided to take the same tact that worked to stop the last market panic in 1907. They began to buy massive amounts of blue chip stock to try to reassure investors that the market was holding steady and that they shouldn’t sell everything they had and make matters worse.

The bankers, led by Tom Lamont of Morgan Bank, Chase National Bank’s Albert Wiggin and Charles Mitchell of National City Bank thought that this method had worked, but it only led to a quieter Friday. The downfall would continue early next week.

On Monday, spurred on by negative newspaper accounts of Thursday’s crash, investors sold more and more stock off, sending the Dow into another tailspin. At the end of Monday’s trading, approximately 13 percent of the value of the Dow had been lost. Black Tuesday led to more losses that some believed were spurred on by President Herbert Hoover’s insistence that he would not veto a tariff bill that many on Wall Street thought would hurt the economy.

So, what caused the crash? Most believe an artificial economic bubble is to blame for the crash. The bubble was formed during the 1920’s and the great amount of speculative investing that happened during that time. The downturn in stock prices after the high in September saw a chain of events happen that led to the Great Depression of the 1930’s.

While no one can predict the future, it’s safe to assume that while our current economy is healthy, a possible stock market crash can happen again. But only if we learn from history can we avoid another long-term depression that shakes the American economy down to its very foundation.

What a stock exchange does

What a stock exchange does.
By John Caldecott.

The stock market is on the news every day. Even on days when there isn’t trading, like a weekend or a holiday, there are people on TV and in the newspaper that are talking about what they think individual stock are going to do and why you should or shouldn’t invest your money right now. We know that a stock market trades stocks. But why? And what good does it provide to the economy?

The stock market is seen by many to be the engine that drives the economy. Businesses and corporations and even governments use the stock market to create capital or wealth. They create this wealth by offering stock, or shares, which are like little pieces of ownership of the company or corporation, and then they trade them. The value of the stock depends on how well the company is doing. The company sells the stock to investors who buy the stock based on if they think the company is going to be making a lot of money or not. This brings in a huge amount of cash into the corporation. IPO’s or initial price offerings are when a company offers stock to the public for the first time ever. A big corporation can make hundreds of millions of dollars or even billions of dollars during their IPO. If the company continues to do well and make money, the stock price goes up, everyone that has shares makes money and more stock is sold to people who want to own a piece of that company.

The same method works if the company is doing badly. The stock loses value as the company does badly, and people then begin to sell the stock and the value of it goes down.

Every company, even the most successful ones, have their stocks go up and down on a monthly basis based on things like earning reports. There is no 100% safe stock, but there are stock that is referred to as “blue chip” stocks, or ones that are the most reliable.

But it isn’t just stock that is traded on a stock exchange like the NYSE. Bonds, securities and commodities are also traded, creating wealth in many different sectors as well as helping the flow of goods and services over the globe. The role of the NYSE and other stock exchanges around the world cannot be overstated in their importance to the world economy.

Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly "...this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first ... but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it."

This same fellow went on to start and operate sixteen separate online companies selling everything from pet food, DVDs, children's toys & games, books, software, and sold not only his own manufactured products but became an affiliate for other web businesses - all the while applying his mastermind secret.

Over the course of nearly eight years the New Englander confesses "I've actually gotten over $87 million in advertising that using my secret I never had to pay for ... and the largest share of which was more recently in Google pay-per-clicks as well as other forms of pad advertising at search engines ... all of which I got for free ..."

So powerful is his secret that he's able to monopolize any niche online, and can always secure the top premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.

He still has to set up an account with the search engines - but after applying his secret he is removed from having to pay for all the costs otherwise involved.
Again, nothing about his secret is either illegal or robs from the search engines.
One spokesperson from one of the most popular search engines said chuckling after being made privy to this amazing secret "Wow! Ha! This is really unique ... and in my expert opinion it would only serve to enhance and bring more business to us at [name of search engine withheld for legal & confidentiality reasons] and not cause us to lose business in the slightest. Amazing!"

The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years' period of time since applying his secret he's done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really "buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential."

Now to everyone else's fortune, the city slicker is releasing his secret for getting an unlimited amount of pay-per-click ads to the general public. But he's not promising any of us for how long.

A bit of an eccentric, the gentleman says "We'll see just how long I can make it available before it saturates things."

One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret "he's already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it's still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this."

Credit and the Law

Credit and the Law.
By John Caldecott.

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act says that all lenders will apply the same credit standards to all the consumers no matter what their race, sex, marital status, national origin, religion, age, or public assistance program that is involved. This does not say for sure that the loan approved or credit will be given to you. It will give you an equal chance to obtain credit. The only good measurement for creditors to use is your ability to pay the debts that you owe.

Many of the applications will have questions about some of the above things. However you are not required to answer them on an application for credit. These may be asked because of the fair housing laws or affirmative action laws but these are at your discretion. You should not be asked about your material status, unless your partner will help you secure the loan. You may be asked your age because of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, but only to determine if you are old enough to have the credit. This means that you have to be over the age of 18 in the U.S.

Creditors must tell any applicants of their decision within 30 days. If the application is not approved, the creditor must provide a written statement that has full detail of the outcome or decision along with the reason for the denial and the information on the applicant’s rights. This act will help to seal for certain it is kept with all applications for credit no matter who the applicant is.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act will also give people the right to see their credit report. To make this better, everyone is entitled to a free credit report every 12 months. This act will help people to receive their credit history for all three national credit-reporting agencies. When you are reviewing your credit, you can dispute items on the credit report and this will allow the consumer to control some of what the credit reporting agencies have against them. If the correction to your credit in not right, you can also add a statement of 100 words or less to help clarify the item that you want to dispute.

The act was started to uphold the accuracy and privacy of a person’s private information in the credit report. It was passed with the intention of preventing identity theft, which has become more popular in recent years. By reviewing one’s credit report each year, he or she will be able to determine if any kind of identity theft has happened.

Both of these acts will protect you by helping the fairness of the lending industry while allowing you to take control of your credit history and making sure that it is accurate. If you want to maintain good credit, you need to learn as much about it as you can. Understanding these laws means that you are taking a good and positive step in creating good credit for yourself and making it possible to have a more stable financial future.

Figure Your Credit Score

Figure Your Credit Score
By John Caldecott.

You may want to know how your credit score is calculated. The process is long and each of the three major companies in the United States will participate in reporting credit scores and histories with a different method. This is why your credit score is going to be a little bit different from one to the next. There are some factors that you can take into consideration if you want to estimate your credit score on your own.

The first thing is if you have not ever owned a credit card or had any type of bill in your name or if you have borrowed money of any kind, your credit score is going to be zero. Even though this is not considered to be bad credit, it is hard to even get a loan with no credit as it is with bad credit. There are some companies that may be willing to take a chance on someone with no credit but it is much better to build up your credit little by little as you go by having cards in your name and living a comfortable and stable life within your means of income.

Your credit history is going to make up about 35% of your total credit score and it is very important. The bills that are not paid or if you have debts that have defaulted you will hurt your credit score for 7 to 10 years before they are all erased. You need to think about this and all of the bad choices that you make today can hurt your credit in the future. If you are repaying these debts now, chances are they will still show up on your credit report now as bills that were paid late. There is 15% that is going to be the length of your credit history. It is a good idea to start building credit as soon as you can. Your score is will improve as time goes on as long as you are maintaining a bank account. The information like length of employment or residence so that it can be classified in this section so if you have a regular and stable life, you will have a better score than someone else that moves around all the time.

Then 30% of your score will depend on what you are currently owing to creditors. Even if you are not late on paying your bills, if you have many loans out at one time, it may be possible that you are denied to have another. Therefore it is important to only take out the loans you really need and to repay them on time or early if you can. If you pay off your loans early, you will not only see your credit score rise, you will also save money on paying interest. This will show up on your credit history. You will also want to try and keep your money in one place if possible. 10% of your credit score is going to be based on new accounts. They will look at how many different types of loans you have applied for and how many you have open now. When you are opening and closing accounts too fast is not a recommendation.

You need to use your common sense. Know your credit score and how it is calculated is going to help you find mistakes on it. This may help you and your credit score in the future. You are able to see a free copy of your credit report annually for free so you should review this as well as get your credit score to be sure that you are being treated fairly.

Getting Help: The Best Things About Credit Counseling

Getting Help: The Best Things About Credit Counseling.
By John Caldecott.

Sometimes we cannot keep a good credit score all the time on our own. There are times in life when we may need to have a little bit of help keeping our credit score at a good level or raising it to a level that we want it to be at. Thank goodness that there are organizations out there to help us to do this and keep our credit on track where it should be.

Debt counseling is for anyone that may have bills that are scattered with different companies and find it hard to keep up with all of them from month to month. It can be hard to remember who you have to pay each month and how much. There is debt counseling to help put all of your bills into one low payment so that you can make your payments to one company and they will distribute the money to where it needs to be.

This will take all of the guessing out of paying your bills. Now the payment will be lower because the debt counselor will work with all of the companies that you owe money to so that they can accept the lower amount of money each month. This is not for everyone however, and the fees and interest rates are going to be high.

After you consolidate your bills into one payment it should only take two or three years to pay them off. If it would take more than five years to pay these debts back, you may want to think about it more because it may not be the right option for you. There are a few different reasons why debt counseling will increase your credit score. Making the payment before it is actually due then you are paying all of your bills at once.

Credit companies will see this on your credit report and reward you for being more responsible and paying your payments on time. This is true even though they are consolidated into one payment because everyone is still getting their money on time. Many will believe that consolidating your bills will decrease your credit score, but this is not the right idea. Many think that this is a major reason for concern but it is actually helping people out. It may have been a risk in the past, but there are many legitimate companies out there that are going to help you rebuild your credit score.

Using the debt counseling for your debt is actually very responsible and will benefit you in many ways. It is a good idea to do when you are looking to get out of debt and get things back on track for you and for your credit reputation.

Using a Co Signer to Boost your Credit.

Using a Co Signer to Boost your Credit.
By John Caldecott.

Having a co-signer on a loan application can either be a good thing or a bad one. This can be anyone that you know like a friend or family member who agrees to share the responsibility for repaying the loan if you cannot make the payments for some reason. Usually it is a parent that will co-sign for a child who has no credit or low credit. It can be a good way to build your good credit up and get the results that you are looking for. In other cases, the co-signers good credit may help someone with poor credit get a loan that they would otherwise be denied for.

We all start out with a credit score of 0. Having no credit score is almost as bad as having a bad one. There is no record of your credibility, which is not very convenient if you are a young adult trying to get a loan for a home or car or college education. There are parents or guardians who will understand the meaning of having credit will put their child’s name on a utility bill and let theme make payments from a job or pay for it themselves. As long as the bill is paid in full and on time, it will put a positive reflect on the person’s credibility. It will be a lot easier to move into the adult work of making a large purchase like a first home when you have good credit to your name.

For the person that has managed to make a bad name for himself or herself in the world of credit and they are in need of a loan, they may have to rely on a co-singer to help them out of this jam. No one wants to be in debt and a family member or friend will be more understanding than the institution from where you want to borrow the money. A co-signer must have a good credit score and they must be willing to take over the remaining money that is owed on the loan for any reason if the primary borrower cannot make payments.

If you are in debt and you cannot seem to get a break, a co-signer could be what you are looking for. No matter what your reason for bad credit, it is up to the lender to approve or deny you based on the facts of your credit report. As long as you know someone who has good credit and enough trust in your ability to repay the loan that you are looking for, you may have a good chance to get back to where you want. A co-singer is a good way to establish or re-build good credit for you.

Using Credit Unions and your credit

Using Credit Unions and your credit
By John Caldecott

A credit union is a good organization that is for individuals based on where they live or where they are employed. It will work in the same ways as most banks but offer loans that are more exclusive to their members and offer a better and much lower interest rate. Those who deposit the money are able to borrow money because the members run it. This is the best place for someone to earn a stable paycheck but is somehow managed to accumulate bad credit because of sometimes the community will base it on their character and not on their creditability. A bank can turn you down easily if your credit rating is not good but with a credit union you will have the chance to explain what you want before you are approved or denied.

You can benefit financially because you are a member of the credit union. A savings account with a bank will accumulate interest over time. It is set by the percentage of what your balance is over time. Credit unions will pay higher interest to their members and the interest rates on any loan are going to be lower as well. Any profits that are accumulated will go into serving the members better because it is a non profit organization that is ran by volunteers in the community only.

There are different ways of finding out which credit unions are available to you with your employment, residence, or what your part is in an organization. If you have a stable job, you can ask your employer if there is one that you are able to get based on your involvement with the company. There may also be a member of your family who belongs to a credit union that encourages members to have their entire family members join. In most areas, you may be available to join because of where you are living. It is viewed as a way for the community to work together as one to take care of all the members.

Everyone needs to be a member of a financial institution in order to get and build up good credit, gain eligibility, and to take out a loan if it is needed. They will also be able to have a reference of stability on his or her credit report. Many people will want to use the credit unions over banks because they are friendlier and locally ran by members of the community. They are non-profit so you will not have to pay a fee to be a member and take advantage on the positive things that they offer. They will give anyone who has bad credit a chance to be eligible for loans and rebuilding their credit score.

Diet and Exercise

Diet and Exercise
By John Caldecott.

Nutrition and physical activity is going to go along together for our bodies. Exercise is going to give us fitness

along with four major things: flexibility, strength, muscle endurance, and cardiovascular health. Diet on it’s own

is not going to be able to give you this. You need to have the physical part as well. One thing to remember is

that a bad diet can affect the way that your fitness training goes even if you follow the best type of exercise

plan that you can. You need to put a healthy diet and a lot of exercise together to stay as healthy as you can.

It is going to be achievable to answer the question of how long you need to exercise to keep as healthy as you can.

The average is at least 20 minutes of exercise at least three times a week. This will help to strengthen the

cardiovascular health. Another idea is that 3500 calories must be used in a week by doing any sort of physical

activity. This will benefit you and your heart as well. It is a good idea to speak to your doctor first to find out

what exercise plan is going to be best for you and your body.

The energy nutrients that are stored like glucose and fatty acids with a few amino acids are let out into the blood

during exercise in order to provide energy for what you are doing. This means that the body will respond to

exercise by adjusting its fuel amounts.

There is a way to use diet to control high blood pressure and now they are finding out that exercise has a role in

keeping blood pressure from increasing. With the reduction of sodium into your body, weight loss and limited

alcohol use, along with the increased amount of physical activity and a low fat diet, you can control hypertension.

Foods that are used for the purpose of lowering blood pressure without using medication can include sweets and

many beverages that have sugar in them, red meat and fats.

To build muscle in the body, proteins are used and this is true when the body is at rest after exercise or any type

of physical activity. There is research that has shown that athletes will retain more protein and use more of it as

fuel for the body. The American Dietetic Association has said that one gram per kilogram of bodyweight is

recommended for people that do not exercise at all. For the athletes, the protein amounts are going to be higher.

It should be considered that athletes also need more carbohydrates as well. If they do not take in enough crabs,

their protein will be used all up for fuel and there will not be anything left for muscle building after exercise

is done.

There is increasing evidence that weight bearing exercises like walking, dancing, running, sports and so much more.

Are very good at getting good bone health. Swimming has been a great use for bone health. Eating disorders like

bulimia and anorexia have been said to damage bone strength. Exercise alone cannot make your body healthy. You

need to have the proper calcium and other vitamins and minerals required for bones must go with the adequate amount

of exercise to provide the best bone health. Along with exercise, diet can help keep your body working good and in

the right mode for the rest of your life.

Godbless and Keep Fit,
John Caldecott.
