It can be argued that the in the World today many people are searching for help with weight loss, fitness and improving energy levels. Busy lives, unhealthy temptations, lack of regular exercise, lack of sun and lethargy can all sabotage our efforts to be healthy.

It can be hard to make healthy eating choices when we are bombarded with television commercials advertising unhealthy foods. In our home we call these foods 'naughty'. In our supermarkets cakes, sweets, crisps and an array of unhealthy foods adorn the shelves. We are offered two for one deals and half price on many items so we end up filling our baskets with foods that offer no nutritional value and can in fact harm our health in the long term.

When our energies are low we reach for a quick fix like a bar of chocolate, a cup of coffee or a packet of crisps. But these highs are short lived as the artificial high comes crashing down and we reach for the next pick me up again. In the long term these foods can make us put on weight and can even lead to diseases like diabetes.

All these high sugar and salt foods are annihilating out taste buds. So it becomes increasingly hard for us to eat the apple instead of the cake. It is much harder to exercise when we haven't got any energy so eating the wrong foods can also sabotage our fitness efforts. It is important to try and break this destructive cycle.

So what can we do?

It would probably help if we were taken away from the environment we live in and be transported to somewhere super healthy. This way we would be free from our daily stresses that cause us to make bad food choices and not to exercise. This super health haven could hopefully inspire and motivate us to make better health choices. Which we could then bring home with us and the knowledge we have gained would be put to good use.

So do these types of healthy havens exist?

There are health and fitness holidays, detox spas and centres, fitness boot camps and fitness retreats. These types of places will offer diet and weight loss advice and fitness activities. Here you will be surrounded by like minded people and it will be much easier to stick to a healthy eating a plan and exercise schedule. After one of these holidays you would expect to lose weight, feel fitter and come away feeling refreshed and renewed. The knowledge gained can be taken home so you can continue with your new healthy lifestyle. Visiting one of these places could be the kick start that you need and away of you starting a new healthy lifestyle. These types of health and fitness holidays and detox resorts are all over the World.

During your research look for a company that has good testimonials and a good web site. Look at the photos do they look like real people? Check out their Facebook page and check that the holiday is current and they are uploading up to date information about their holiday. You can also see if they have a You Tube channel so you can see what type of activities they get up to. Also make sure that their fitness team are experienced and qualified. Do some investigative work on Google to see what is an offer.

To your good health and happiness.

A Chinese, Russian plot to control the Internet?

AFP - Getty Images

This undated screen grab taken released by the Kaspersky Lab site shows a program of the computer virus known as Flame.

By Bob Sullivan

Has the U.S. government been caught with its virtual hands in the world's cookie jar? And might it lose control of the Internet as a consequence?

If you were among the forces on the planet wanting to wrest control of the Internet from?the U.S.-friendly agencies that manage it, that's the story you'd surely want to tell.?

But things are rarely what they seem.? The barrage of Flame news ? including word that Flame and Stuxnet appear to have common authorship -- should not be viewed in a vacuum.


A group of nations led by China, Russia and several Middle Eastern countries would love to see the end of U.S. dominance over the operational control of the Internet, and these nations think they have found their vehicle for accomplishing that:?A U.N. body called the International Telecommunications Union.

?

The organization, which manages international telephony agreements, will meet in Dubai in December and attempt to extend its charter to take operational control of the Internet away from the U.S.-dominated nonprofit International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN.?

Even as news of Flame first hit, an ITU working group was meeting in Geneva to finalize the agenda for the Dubai meeting. At almost the same time, there was a hearing in an obscure congressional subcommittee where experts rang alarm bells about an ITU coup.

The argument that the U.S. should not be in a position of power as far as overseeing the Internet will be bolstered by a world set aflame by news that the U.S. may have exploited its technological advantage to attack sovereign nations with Flame and Stuxnet.

Some technology experts say the Dubai meeting could very well decide the direction of the world's most valuable resource - information - for the rest of the 21st century:?? The future of Internet anonymity, free speech and perhaps freedom itself could be at stake.

"I think there is a political story that is being missed here," said Chris Bronk, a former State Department official who worked in that agency?s Office of eDiplomacy and is now a professor at Rice University. "There's much more to this. ? Stuxnet was better than bombs in the short run, but this could hurt the U.S. down the road.?

Conspiracy theorists -- including several interviewed for this story who requested that their comments remain off the record -- point out that the world learned about Flame from a Moscow-based antivirus company (Kaspersky Labs), and the ITU chose Flame as the subject of its first-ever international cyber-warning, claiming for the first time an important role in cybersecurity affairs.? They see the grand publicity surrounding Flame as little more than a power grab by the ITU in advance of the Dubai meeting, dubbed the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT).

?If you want to be cynical, this is definitely a play by an international group to try to gain control over arguably the world?s most valuable resource,? said Paul Rohmeyer, a Stevens Institute of Technology professor who specializes in cybersecurity and international issues, and one of the few members of the conspiracy camp willing to connect the dots publicly.

But you don't have to draw such a direct connection to see the relationship between Flame and ITU's desire to find and flex new power. Kaspersky Labs, the Russian firm that continues to publish the most informative details about Flame, has a solid reputation in the security research world, and there?s no reason to believe it is acting on behalf of Russian national interests. Still, it's impossible not to view Flame -- and recent revelations about Stuxnet -- without understanding the diplomatic backdrop.

?If I were advising Russia, I would be all over the place waving these stories around,? said Eneken Tikk, formerly the legal and policy advisor for NATOs Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre in Estonia.? ?It seems like a great opportunity to increase pressure on talks around cyber threats to international peace and security and gather a coalition of potential victims to say, ?We see the U.S. establishing itself on the Net in offensive way, we need an international umbrella to do something.??

If the U.S. is guilty of escalating cyberwar by writing computer code that disabled critical Iranian computers, there is no question that forces around the globe will try to exploit the news to their own ends. While most analysts have focused on the potential that Flame invites other countries to counterattack the U.S. with similar cyber-bombs, the real threat might be the rationale it could provide for ending the free-flow of information around the Web.

?It's very concerning from a purely political standpoint. You can see why a group like ITU would be incentivized to release this news,? Rohmeyer said. ?I?m guessing that's what they are trying to set up. They are building their case for internationalization. They have everything to gain and the established order, which is U.S.-based, has everything to lose.?

U.S. officials aren't blind to the threat; they've made very public warnings about it. In February, Federal Communications Commission member Robert McDowell wrote an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal where he criticized the ITU:

"The most lethal threat to Internet freedom may not come from a full frontal assault, but through insidious and seemingly innocuous expansions of intergovernmental powers," he wrote. "Scores of countries led by China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and many others, have pushed for, as then-Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said almost a year ago, 'international control of the Internet' through the ITU."

McDowell also testified before that congressional subcommittee on May 31, and warned that "pro-regulation" forces led by China and Russia are far more organized than U.S. allies.

"While precious time ticks away, the U.S. has not named a leader for the treaty negotiation," he said.

Some in Congress were even more blunt:

?If we're not vigilant, just might break the Internet," said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore.

The dire-sounding warnings aren't coming solely from U.S. government officials, either.? Even the so-called ?father of the Internet,? Vint Cerf, expressed grave concern that day in Congress.

?(The Dubai meeting) holds profound?and I believe potentially hazardous? implications? for the future of the Internet and all of its users," he testified. "If all of us do not pay attention to what is going on, users worldwide will be at risk of losing the open and free Internet that has brought so much to so many.?

Nor is the alarm coming just from the U.S. Toomas Hendrik Ilves, president of Estonia, rang alarm bells on Friday during the International Conference on Cyber Conflict in Tallinn.

?The outcome of (the Dubai meeting), and related processes, will help determine the topography of the Web for the next two decades,? he said. ?While this conference may fall into the domain of ministries of commerce and communications, make no mistake, there will be major cybersecurity ramifications. More ominously, we will face calls to limit free expression as we know it on the Web today.?

But as Western nations try to draw battle lines, the reality of Flame and Stuxnet muddies the argument considerably.? The U.S. risks losing moral high ground through stories about such cyberattacks.

"When we had plausible deniability for Stuxnet, we could make the argument more easily,? Bronk said. ?This completely cuts at the knees the Internet freedom agenda.? How can the U.S. use clandestine cyberattack to go after a threatening regime, and then push the free agenda? "

As Rohmeyer sees it, the combination of U.S. cyberattacks and the Dubai meeting puts the Internet at ?an age-old crossroads.?

What might change mean?
The ITU has its roots in an organization created during the 1860s to standardize cross-border telegraph traffic in Europe. It became a U.N. body after World War II, focused almost entirely on simplifying international telephony. Only recently has it tried to extend its charter to Internet traffic, most notably with the creation of an agency called The International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber Threats, or IMPACT, based in Kuala Lumpur. Modeled after national computer emergency response teams, IMPACT?s stated mission is to share time-critical computer vulnerability and virus information around the globe. The U.S. has so far refused to join ITU?s IMPACT. Russia, China, Iran and about 140 other nations are members.??

IMPACT tried to take the lead in international dissemination of information about Flame, using the virus as cause for its first-ever warning.

How might ITU change the way the Internet works? No one knows, of course, but there are obvious reasons for concern.? Chinese officials have repeated stated they want an Internet where users must register by IP address, effectively ending anonymity and, perhaps, Internet-based uprisings.?

McDowell warns that Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan asked the U.N. General Assembly to create an ?International Code of Conduct for Information Security? to mandate ?international norms and rules standardizing the behavior of countries concerning information and cyberspace.?? Even ?ITU?s head of corporate strategy, Alexander Ntoko, raised eyebrows ?earlier this year in Cancun when he predicted that anonymity online would end.

?Why countries are interested in the ITU varies. ? China and Russia, their motivations are not very friendly to human rights or openness,? said Cynthia Wong, a lawyer for Center for Technology and Democracy. ?Other places feel like they don't have a voice in the current process. ?

One of the main criticisms of the process is a lack of transparency and the limitations on participation of non-governmental groups, according to complaints publicized but the Center for Technology and Democracy and human rights groups.? But it?s clear the ITU plans new ways to raise revenue, which might lead to some form of a per-click tax, according to witnesses who testified before Congress at that May 31 hearing.? wong also expects the ITU to push for mandatory standards for packet delivery ? Net standards have been voluntary so far -- which could be a precursor for giving nations more control over incoming and outgoing Internet traffic at their borders.

One state, one vote
?Part of the problem with ITU process is that it's so opaque, so it is really hard to understand what might be at stake,? Wong said.? ?But what we do know is Russia and some of the Arab states have put cybersecurity on the table.? There are proposals for greater regulation of traffic routing for security purposes.? Depending on how such regulations are implemented, it could be used to justify greater intrusions on privacy and fundamentally change how the Internet currently works technically.?

In other words, such proposals would make it easier for nations to control Internet traffic.

Practically speaking, it will be difficult for ITU to grab control over the central tool governing the Web ? the domain name system ? in Dubai. That system is?currently operated by ICANN. But a sizable block of non-U.S. countries agreeing to mandatory routing standards could still wield considerable power. Treaty negotiations are one state, one vote. The U.S. government could make a reservation with something in the treaty, but if ITU standards become mandatory, all Internet users could be impacted. One potential outcome would see a ?splitting? of the Internet, where traffic from nations following one standard is denied by a bloc of nations following another.

But Wong?s chief concern currently is that groups like hers aren?t welcome in the proceedings. On May 17, the Center for Democracy and Technology and 20 other non-governmental agencies from around the world sent a letter of protest to Secretary-General Dr. Hamadoun Tour?, who is running the meeting, saying ?there has been scant participation by civil society? in the run-up to Dubai.? But Wong thinks the influential Internet protests around SOPA demonstrate that no government agency will be able to pull a fast one on a recently empowered digital constituency.

?One of the lessons you can pull from SOPA is this:?The time when governments can go behind closed doors and make important decisions about how we use the Internet is gone. That?s not acceptable anymore,? she said. ?There is a community of users who are paying attention, and are really concerned about the future of the Internet. They are not going to find it acceptable anymore to use these old ways of creating laws. And it behooves governments involved in this to pay attention to that.? To that end, several groups have collaborated to create WCITLeaks.org, to encourage anonymous uploading of conference-related documents.

The experience of SOPA might make the Flame and Stuxnet sagas even more important. Could the potential for Internet users to rise up against U.N. control of the Net be blunted if the alternative seems to be continued control by the U.S., its image damaged by Flame and Stuxnet?? Rohmeyer thinks so: Like many technology experts, he?s skeptical of claims that Flame is the most powerful virus ever created. As others have pointed out, Flame is so large that it?s clearly not designed for stealth operation ? whoever created it almost begged for it to be found. He thinks a big part of the publicity around Flame is a function of this battle for control of the Net.

?Is the U.S. releasing viruses so powerful that it needs to lose its control of the Internet?? he said. ?I don't think by itself the release of Flame rises to threshold. I?m dubious of is effectiveness, and suspicious of those claims.??

There are also open questions about ITU?s ability to take operational control over the Internet and cybersecurity.

'No country is an island on the Internet'
?The ITU has been kind of like one big group hug,? said Rohmeyer.? ?Do U.N. groups have a track record of success with this kind of operation? The ITU was a standard-setting body for telephony. Once you move out of the connectivity realm into operational controls ? wow! That gives them an enormous amount of power. ICANN seems to be functioning. When I woke up this morning, the Internet seemed to be working. I don?t think (ITU) has been in this business before.?

Not everyone in the U.S. is against giving ITU more control over cyberspace.? Jody Westby, who launched the Central Intelligence Agency?s famed In-Q-Tel technology investment arm and is now a highly sought-after U.S. cyberexpert, penned a column for Forbes last week strongly endorsing U.S. participation in IMPACT.

?No country is an island on the Internet, and the U.S. cannot expect to be able to adequately respond to cyberattacks or malware infiltrations without the input and involvement of others around the globe,? said Westby, who disclosed that IMPACT was previously a client of her consultancy firm. ?The U.S.?s ?our way or the highway? attitude in the important area of cybersecurity appears petulant.?

She also said that, absent U.S. participation, other nations will look to Russia and China for leadership.

?The U.S. appears as the shirking nation state quietly standing on the sidelines while being accused of engaging in cyberwarfare tactics,? she said.

But Rohmeyer was was among those who wondered aloud what was in it for the U.S.

?There is no upside for the U.S. (in participation),? he said. ?Is the Internet going to be managed better? Will it be more open??

Many experts think the end result of Dubai will mean the already tense balance between bottom-up governance, where private firms dictate policy through collaboration, and top-down governance, where governments mandate Internet policies, will grow even more stressed. So will the tension between anonymity, free speech and U.S.-friendly control on one side, they say, vs. accountability, control, and Chinese/Russian/Arab interests on the other. McDowell, from the FCC, has repeatedly warned that even a positive outcome for the U.S. in Dubai offers little reason to celebrate.?

?Given the high profile, not to mention the dedicated efforts by some countries, I cannot imagine that this matter will disappear,? he testified before Congress. ?Similarly, I urge skepticism for the ?minor tweak? or ?light touch.? As we all know, every regulatory action has consequences.?

Phillip Hallam-Baker, writing in the online magazine CircleID, compared the balancing act to the uneasy management of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, where power is shared awkwardly among various Christian groups and squabbles are common.

?Backing ICANN appears to be the only sensible course for the U.S. But the problem with this approach is that the U.S. cannot risk ICANN itself being captured by hostile powers, and that in turn means that the U.S. cannot ever release its de facto control of ICANN,? he wrote. ?It is an inherently unstable situation that is only maintained through constant vigilance on all sides. ?

Rates Dance their Way to a Floor ? Investing Caffeine

June 10, 2012 at 9:25 pm

The globe is awash in debt, deficits are exploding, and the Euro is about to collapse?right? Well, then why in the heck are six countries out of the G-7 seeing their 10-year sovereign debt trade at 2.5% or lower on a consistent downward long-term trajectory? What?s more, three of the six countries witnessing their rates plummet are from Europe, despite pundits continually calling for the demise of the eurozone.

Here is a snapshot of 10-year sovereign debt yields for the majority of the G-7 countries over the last few decades:

Source: TradingEconomics.com

The sole G-7 member missing from the bond yield charts above? Italy. Although Italy?s deficits are not massive (Italy actually has a smaller deficit than U.S. as % of GDP: 3.9% in 2011), its Debt/GDP ratio has been large and rising (see chart below):

Source: TradingEconomics.com

As the globe has plodded through the financial crisis of 2008-2009, investors have flocked to the perceived stability of these larger developed countries? bonds, even if they are merely better homes in a bad neighborhood right now. PIMCO likes to call these popular sovereign bonds, ?cleaner dirty shirts.? Buying sovereign debt from these less dirty shirt countries, without sensitivity to price or yield, has been a lucrative trade that has worked consistently for quite some time. Now, however, with sovereign bond yields rapidly approaching 0%, it becomes mathematically impossible to fall lower than the bottom rate floor that developed countries are standing on.

Bond bears have been wrong about the timing of the inevitable bond price reversal, myself included, but the bulls are skating on thinner and thinner ice as rates continue moving lower. The bears may prolong their bragging rights if interest rates continue downward, or persist at these lower levels for extended periods of time. Eventually the ?buy the dips? mentality dies, as we so poignantly experienced in 2000 when the technology dips turned into outright collapse.

The Flies in the Bond Binging Ointment

As long as equities remain in a trading range, the ?risk-off? bond binging arguments will continue holding water. If corporate earnings remain elevated and stock buybacks carry on, the pain of deflating real returns will eventually become too unbearable for investors. As the insidious rising prices of energy, healthcare, food, leisure, and general costs keep eating away everyone?s purchasing power, even the skeptics will become more impatient with the paltry returns they are currently earning. Earning negative real returns in Treasuries, CDs, money market accounts, and other conservative investments, is not going to help millions of Americans meet their future financial goals. Due to the laundry list of global economic concerns, large swaths of investors are still running and hiding, but this is not a sustainable strategy longer term. The?danger from these so-called ?safe,? low-yielding asset classes?is actually?riskier than the perceived risk, in my view.

With that said, I?ve consistently held there are a subset of investors, including a significant number of my Sidoxia Capital Management?clients, who are in the later stage of retirement and have a rational need for capital preservation and income generating assets (albeit low yielding). For this investor segment, portfolio construction is not executed due to an opportunistic urge of chasing potential outsized rates of return, but more-so out of necessity. Shorter time horizons eliminate the prudence of additional equity exposure because of the extra associated volatility. Unfortunately, many of the 76 million Baby Boomers will statistically?live another 20 ? 30 years based on actuarial life?expectations and under-save, so the risks of being too conservative can dramatically outweigh the risks of increasing equity exposure. This is all stated in the context of stocks paying a higher yield than long-term Treasuries ? the first time in a generation.

Short-term risks and uncertainties remain high, with Greek election outcomes unknown; a U.S. Presidential election in flux; and an impending domestic fiscal cliff that needs to be addressed. But with interest rates accelerating towards 0% and investors??fright-filled buying of?pricey, low-yielding asset classes, many of these risks are already factored into current valuations. As it turns out, the pain of panic can be more detrimental than being stuck in over-priced assets, driven by rates dancing near an absolute floor.

To Be Clear, Siri Is Not Coming To The iPhone 4 Or iPad 2 (Update)

sirioniphone4It's understandable why you might have been confused. Apple made Siri's expansion about as clear as mud yesterday at Apple's WWDC keynote. She learns more, moves to the iPad, gets all kinds of new integrations in iOS 6 (which most certainly will come to your iPhone 4/3GS), but does she actually hop on over to the new hardware and chat at you like the condescending connectivity-challenged genius that she is? In short, no. Officially, Siri is only available on the iPhone 4S and the new iPad (third generation).

How To Stay Safe When Doing Home Improvement | Real Essays ...

Home improvement projects are most successful if you are able to focus on more than the goal. Sometimes we get so focused on the big picture and what needs to be done. Little details here and there will emerge as we begin doing our project. But once in a while something will come along and bite you real good. Problems like these are not easily forgettable and may have a variety of consequences that follow. Doing things like this tend to occur because of ritualistic habits. This article is focused upon several home-improvement problems to avoid.

Power equipment generally comes with a lot of safety features. A safety guard is one such feature and power tools used in grinding and cutting usually come with one. Convenience is not a good reason to remove the guards. You can end up injuring your face, eyes or hands with flying debris. Safety glasses are also an essential safety accessory you should always wear. To avoid your hands suffering an injury, you should always put on leather gloves. This is common sense safety advice and is easy to remember. Even so, there are still a lot of people who get hurt because they choose to ignore this advice. Using a ladder comes with risk. Minimize the risks associated with ladder usage. Always stop and think before using a ladder, and then take the time to do a little inspection. Inspections of ladders which you are not familiar with or that havent been used for a long time should be inspected for cracks. Folding ladders are wonderful for storage but extra precautions should be taken when using one of these ladders. Make sure the ladder is opened as much as possible, or as per instructions. Be sure to lock the metal braces before climbing up the ladder.

When doing electrical work, always be careful of the voltage and amperage that you are working with. Dealing with electrical issues in homes that are 50 years or more old can be dangerous. Screws can come loose that hold wires in place, and the reason has to do with the expansion and contraction over the years. Electrical wires that are grounded may be hot or electrical which can cause physical damage if you grab them. If your installation is brittle, it could be a byproduct of lighting fixtures in the same room. Conductors such as wires that are exposed due to flaking insulation may cause a safety hazard. Therefore when working with electrical equipment and parts, be aware of this.

It is impossible to cover all the possibilities with the various hazards around the home. To be safe, work slowly and efficiently, which will help you stay out of trouble. To avoid any type of injury or death, make sure you do not take shortcuts when working on your home improvement project.
