  • How To Get Fit And Slash Your Health Insurance Costs

    Okay, before we start, let me explain the purpose of this article. I want you to get so healthy, you'll never need to make a health insurance claim. You'll save money by increased fitness. You'll save money with a long no-claims insurance history. And you'll look and feel much better.

    There's three sides to your maximum health and fitness. Diet, and Exercise. But that's only two ! Let me split Exercise into Aerobic exercise and Aneorobic exercise.

    Get all three right. Get the right balance. And you'll get as fit and healthy as your body and genetics will allow.

    Whole fores ...

  • Credit Traps Snag Consumers
    Nearly 20 years ago I worked for a small consumer advocacy organization in Washington, DC. Each week we received sacks full of mail from consumers across the country requesting our list of credit cards with low interest rates and no annual fees. If you wanted a low interest rate on a credit card back then, you often had to apply to a bank in Arkansas where interest rates were capped by state law. Those were the good old days. Now, interest rates range from zero percent to a high 39 percent. But it’s tougher to find (and keep) a good credit card than ever before. That’s because there are many n ...

  • Television's Mysteries: The Twilight Zone of other Television Programs
    You unlock this door with the key of imagination. That's what Rod Serling would say. It appears to me that the Twilight Zone may have affected more than the 30 minutes it controlled every week those many years ago. So with the keys of your imagination lets journey farther into the Outer Limits of television and discover that the weird and the bizarre were not just limited to the great classic sci-fi hits like the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits. Nor is the unexplained always presented on Ripley's Believe it or Not.

  • The Technology of Law
    One can discern the following relationships between the Law and Technology:

    1. Sometimes technology becomes an inseparable part of the law. In extreme cases, technology itself becomes the law. The use of polygraphs, faxes, telephones, video, audio and computers is an integral part of many laws - etched into them. It is not an artificial co-habitation: the technology is precisely defined in the law and forms a CONDITION within it. In other words: the very spirit and letter of the law is violated (the law is broken) if a certain technology is not employed or not put to correct use. Think ...

  • Our Youth Need a Comprehensive Mentoring Program

    We must challenge our youth to go beyond and excel in all they do, help them when they fall and guide them to the traits we will need when it is their turn to lead. There are many great programs for youth, sports, band, student government, Scouts, etc and we have so many dedicated servants to the cause of this public good. We have done so much, but it is time to take it up a notch, integrate the technologies we have for teaching and press on to the highest possible level of mentoring. We know mentoring works and we must use that innate social interaction of our species to the best of our ab ...

  • Four Main Factors Causing High Cholesterol
    Besides diet, other causes of high cholesterol are lifestyle, gender and the heritage of the individual.

    For some, even maintaining cholesterol at the right levels and being fit and thin will still not prevent the development of high levels of bad cholesterol. Due to heart risk factors besides diet, some people require a very aggressive approach which includes cholesterol lowing medication. We will address this issue as we progress in “30 days to lowering cholesterol.”

    Lifestyle issues and high cholesterol: •When we opt for convenience in eating over nutrition, we are setting ourselves u ...
