Jika saya bercerita sekarang,
Maka itu hanya akan membuat sebagian orang memaklumi saya,
Dan sebagian lagi akan tetap menyalahkan saya,
Tetapi itu juga akan membuat mereka memaklumi dunia yang seharusnya tidak dimaklumi,
Dan tidak ada yang dapat menjamin apakah semua dapat memetik hal yang baik dari
kemakluman itu,
Atau hanya akan mengikuti keburukannya
Maka lebih baik saya diam.

Jika saya bersuara sekarang,
Maka itu akan membuat,
Saya terlihat sedikit lebih baik,
Dan beberapa lainnya terlihat lebih buruk sebenarnya,
Maka saya lebih baik diam.

Jika saya berkata sekarang,
Maka akan hanya ada caci maki,
Dari lidah ini,
Dan teriakan kasar tentang kemuakan,
Serta cemoohan hina pada keadilan,
Maka saya lebih baik diam.

Saya hanya akan berkata pada Tuhan, bersuara pada yang berhak,
Berkata pada diri sendiri,
Lalu diam kepada yang lainnya,
Lalu biarkan seleksi Tuhan,
Bekerja pada hati setiap orang.

With the great convenience and unlimited game variety, all players will have the reason to play for it at the comfort zone of their homes with the best quality experience even your away from your computer.


Some casino sites started to engage their games to mobile such as the Wild Jack Casino and All Slot Casino, they offer the a wide selection of their casino games into mobile including the games of blackjack, roulette and video slots through called the casino mini sites.

Some Casinos on the Internet appear to be catching up with the modern age by giving Mobile Casino Bonuses in their Mobile Casinos. Even though a lot of sites have not caught the bug yet, a lot of the grand Casinos on the internet are beginning to have casino gaming available with Mobile Casinos. Because the regular method of looking on the web with a PC or net cafes are taken over little by little with the current mobile gadgets, it is not a surprise that some companies, such as Internet Casinos, have began to make this service available for mobile clients.



casino games for mobiles
Mobile Casinos are Internet Casino websites, or geared toward certain clients that use mobile machines like an iPhone, iTouch, iPad, Blackberry or a regular cell phone. When a mobile machine is used to play regular casino games were are intended for laptop computers, the extra information going back and forth from the device to the server puts pressure on the mobile software functions. The outcome is that the games are frequently halted and people don't really have fun. This is why the concept of designing an innovative casino software server was developed.

It only takes a couple of minutes, max, to download and install mobile casino software - that is, depending on the game that is being downloaded. It's the same thing when it comes to setting up most mobile casinos. You go to the site and fill out a form, with your country and mobile number. You will, then, receive a SMS on your mobile device with the download link for the software and the games. Once it is installed, the casino software takes over and you are now able to register. You can also make cash deposits, withdrawals, and play the casino games - just as you would on your pc.

Compatibility issues between mobile casino software and mobile devices are not a big deal because most brands of mobile devices, that are used today, are supported by the software. This includes iPhones, iPad, iTouch, Blackberries and mobile phones.
There are various mobile casino bonuses available from Online mobile casinos. These consist of No Deposit Bonuses, Welcome bonuses, Deposit bonuses, Loyalty bonuses as other types like in the big Casinos. There are unique bonuses for mobile gamers in some casinos but most will have the exact free cash bonuses that a regular online casino has.

Mobile Casinos and Their Bonuses:
The targets of a large slice of the various bonuses offered by Mobile Casinos are the new players. The best means of attracting more customers to register on these Casino sites is the offer of bonuses. But the free offers of cash come with limitations- one has to meet specific conditions before one becomes eligible for the winnings. Wagering requirements, is the new rule that seems to be the most popular. As per this rule only if one bets a minimum- of the specified number of times the bonus offered and /or the amount deposited, - he becomes eligible to cash out the winnings.

For example, a mobile casino is offering a free bonus of 200% for joining with a maximum of $100 for the initial deposit with a 10 time betting requirement. An explanation of this is that a player has to place a bet that is 10 times $100 (if the deposited funds are $100) which equals $1,000.

This kind of restriction applies to No Deposit Bonuses, Deposit Bonuses and just about any other type of bonus. Also, there are casinos that might impose a minimum deposit rule before one can cash in the winnings from a bonus.

Because of the requirements, a lot of players who receive mobile bonuses don't have the chance to actually cash out their winnings. So, why call it a free bonus? The bonuses are used, instead, by many individuals who wish to enjoy the casino games without paying any money to do so. Very few people walk away with real winnings. Mobile Casino Bonuses are for mobile people.


casino for iphone
iPhone & iPad Online Casinos, Casino games for the iPhone and iPad are available through the apps store on your mobile device. Most iPhone users are already familiar with the casino games available for free play in the apps store. When iPhones first began to allow for real money casino games, there were a great deal of problems with the software as it had to be run through Java. However, several casino games have been developed for the iPhone and iPad through the Spin Palace/Microgaming/Spin3 merger that was geared specifically for developing applications for such mobile devices.

The Best Diet in the World Is Not a Diet at All; It's About Common Sense

Everyone hates dieting and diets. As soon as there is talk of 'no pain, no gain,' you cringe. You know that anyone embarking on a diet plan to lose weight is not going to have a good time of it. It's all about sacrificing for the greater good and making some drastic lifestyle changes. Essentially you are no longer allowed to enjoy food and you have a long road of self punishment ahead.

It's no wonder most dieters fail. Most often you'll see some short term results, but nothing that will last in the long run. Oh sure, there are always some wild success stories about someone who lost 50 pounds in 3 weeks. I guarantee you that this is the exception and not the rule. Amazing success stories are what sells the fad diets to the masses. Weight loss and dieting is a multi-billion dollar industry. It's always interesting to see how some self appointed weight loss guru thinks you should punish yourself so that they can make some quick money.

I'm going to give you some great tips for losing weight without having to suffer for it. I'm putting these tips out there for anyone that wants them because they are all based on common sense. It's not about some fancy plan and there's really no pain involved. Since it's so simple, there's nothing to patent or special foods that I can sell you. There's also no need for membership fees, books, videos, etc. that I'm asking you to shell out your hard earned money for.

It's easy and you'll be successful at it if you take the time to apply the key principles. I picked up all of my knowledge over time from reading and personal experience. I've been able to whittle it down to some very simple truths. This is after all the whole idea here at Cutting Through the Hype.

Without further ado, here are the tips:

1. Set a goal. No matter what the undertaking is, it's always best to set a goal right at the beginning so you have something to aim for and you can decide on a plan of attack. If your goal is to lose a large amount of weight, then you may want to consider setting some incremental goals to achieve along the way. It's much easier to tackle a large problem if you can break it down into smaller, manageable mini goals. These mini goals should be acknowledged and celebrated in an effort to build momentum towards your main goal.

2. Water, water and more water. You need to drink more water. Have a glass or bottle of water on hand at all times. This is usually easier for people that work in an office environment where water can be kept and can be easily accessed throughout the day. Water is the life source of our bodies. We need it to live, but it also gives us energy which will make us more productive at work and in our down time. Water flushes our system of toxins and increases the rate at which your body metabolizes fat. So many people misinterpret dehydration as hunger and it's an easy mistake to make considering that even though your body is thirsty the signal it gives off is hunger. In that case, drink more. One good gauge of the state of our hydration, is the colour of our urine. The aim is to keep urine colour pale yellow (and sometimes even colourless) throughout the course of the day. If your urine is a darker yellow, then take another swig of water. You need to drink more water. I can't emphasize that enough.

3. Small meals more often. Consider a waitress working a 12-hour day at an eat in restaurant. She will most likely be really busy during the breakfast, lunch and dinner rushes. Now also consider customer satisfaction. It's going to be much easier for the waitress to provide better service between the rushes than when she has to juggle too many tables at once. Think of your metabolism the same way. If you eat a large meal, your body will have to work extra hard to digest the food. You know those large family gatherings where you gorge yourself silly and want to lie down on the couch afterwards? That's your body working really hard all at once and you metabolism has to work overtime to keep up. Your system is also not processing this food efficiently since it was hit with all that food at once.

The normal convention is to eat 3 meals a day. This should be considered a minimum. You should be taking that same amount of food from those 3 meals and spreading it out over 5 meals. This just makes sense. That way your body is always working on digesting a manageable amount of food. Kick start your metabolism with a good breakfast and then keep that momentum going throughout the day right until dinner. In most instances, dinner portions are too large and you don't need a second helping. You want to reach a point where you are comfortably full and not feeling like you need to pop a button or loosen a belt. If you're worried about hunger pangs during the night then refer to step 2 which should help avoid this problem. When I adopted this method, the easiest thing for me to do was to break up what I was bringing to work for lunch and making smaller snacks out of it. I use small portions of my lunch as a pre-lunch and post-lunch snack.

I like to relate people's habits to their workday because for most of us there is an established routine. This eating routine and always having water on hand are some things that may be more difficult to apply in our off work hours and weekends, but it's nevertheless important to make a conscious effort to follow these principles.

4. Only eat when you are hungry. So far I've made no mention of fasting or cutting out the bad foods. This step is really no different, but this is where you really need to listen to your body to make steps 2 and 3 effective. Now that you are properly hydrated the feelings of hunger that you will experience are more likely signs that you need to eat some food. This step is really simple, but it bears repeating: Only eat when you are hungry. More than that, only eat enough food to get you to your next meal. Ideally, you want to feel a little hungry before each meal. The hard part is that you have to ignore cravings and only address actual hunger.

5. Speeding up the process. There isn't really a step 5. Steps 2 to 4 are all that you need to lose weight initially. If you want to speed up the process then doing some exercise will help. I always suggest that you start off slow if you are not in good physical condition. Whatever exercise you do make sure that it is something that you can enjoy. Life is too short to punish yourself. Find some friends with similar interests and do some activity together.

That's it. It's that simple. Try out these principles and let me know how you do. I always enjoy hearing a good success story.

What started me on this journey of learning about my body many years ago was that I was working as an assembly line worker in an industrial plant. The work that I was doing was not very rewarding, but it was manually intensive and I was in the best shape of my life. A promotion came along and I was transferred to work in the office of the company. The problem was that I was still eating the same amount of food as if I were still on the assembly line, but not doing nearly as much physical activity. The obvious consequence was that I started to get a little squishy around the midsection.

Truthfully, I managed to gain enough weight that some love handles started to really show and my clothes started to fit a little too snugly. Since I was pretty sure that my clothes had not shrunk, I decided to do something about it and I came up with the principles outlined above. The weight melted off fairly quickly without much real effort. At the time I was not doing any real physical activity,but the weight still came off. As things change in my life, I listen to my body and make sure it gets what it needs. You should do the same.

Will Unemployment Benefits Become Our New Standard of Living?

About a year ago, I read an article about men in high paying positions, mostly upper level managers, who had been laid off and were refusing to work for less money than their previous job had paid. Some of them had been out of work for a year, some even longer than that, but they didn't want to demean themselves by taking jobs that didn't pay as much as they had been making.

My first thought was that if there wasn't enough money to pay the mortgage and put food on the table, they would soon change their minds and take whatever job they could find. A short time after that, I read another article about men who had been interviewed saying they had wiped out their retirement funds, sold off their stocks, took equity loans, refinanced their houses, sent their wives out to work as the sole breadwinner, and borrowed money from friends and relatives to keep their lifestyle going. The disturbing thing about the article was that it showed that their standard of living had not decreased but their indebtedness had spiked up beyond belief.

Recently, there has been much ado about the notion that people who are out of work are just plain lazy. I don't see it that way. I think people who are out of work feel marginalized and scared and they are often intimidated by the prospect of having to apply for jobs, go on interviews, and face the possibility of rejection. It's that whole specter of having to start over after being employed for most of their life and feeling that they are not quite good enough or young enough.

In the articles I've been reading since the first articles started to appear, I'm amazed by the number of men who are so accepting of their status quo. In fact, they said they are happier than they have ever been now that the pressures of work are no longer besieging them. They said they are calmer, don't let things bother them, are healthier, and are leading a more balanced life. They have time to work out, enjoy family and friends, and don't want to go back to work; they said they are being given a second chance to have the kind of life they have always wanted.

This is now a little more than a year after I first came across the changing dynamics of the unemployed workforce. But now, a new wrinkle is starting to emerge. This is no longer about the men who were in high paying managerial jobs who don't want to return to the workforce but it is starting to creep into the fabric of society.

Between the articles that I've read and the people I have spoken to, there is a new element to consider and that is that unemployment benefits are just high enough to pay for the necessities of life if you reduce your standard of living. Many people don't want to get a job if their salary will come to just a little more than what they get from unemployment.

I have always been an advocate of government lending a hand to people in need of financial assistance. For many, it's the difference between survival with a roof over their head and living in the streets. I've always thought that people are not inherently lazy; they need a reason to get up in the morning and have a place to go that allows them to feel like productive members of society. Even if they don't like their job, if they have a paycheck in their pocket, they have their dignity intact knowing that they don't have to go begging to family and friends for a handout.

My major concern at this point is that when people have lowered their standard of living to accommodate their reduced income, they may get comfortable with the idea of getting by on their unemployment checks. And even knowing that their checks are going to stop eventually, they don't alter their thinking about finding employment. The more time that goes by and the more they see they can exist on less money, the more the fear of rejection may deter them from applying for jobs. And if this fear predominates their thinking, this bare bones level of existence may become their new standard of living.

Merger and Acquisitions - Future in the Light of Impending Changes in the Takeover Code

India is one among the fastest developing countries with a highly impressive growth story. But to sustain this level of growth there needs to be a favourable environment conducive to development. Subsequently Indian regulators are these days sitting on the edge, recreating and revamping the legal framework for Indian incorporations. Significant alterations have been due from long time. However, owing to the rigidity of Indian legal system, the processes have been outstretched. The business and number of corporate organisations have increased manifold over the years. In this dynamic era, one cannot think of sticking to age-old legal regime. A legislation which is too old will lose its relevance and jeopardise the objective for which it was enacted.

Therefore, one such law relating to India's mergers and acquisitions ('M&A') are finally set to undergo a complete makeover as the Takeover Regulations Advisory Committee ('TRAC') under the chairmanship of Mr C Achutan in a 139 page report to the Securities and Exchange Board of India ('SEBI') has proposed sweeping changes to the Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeover Regulations, 1997 ('Takeover Code'/'Takeover Regulation') which were introduced to regulate the takeovers happening in our country and to facilitate the orderly development of the related activities which would have an impact on the M&A market.

Brief preview on the genesis of the Takeover Code

2. It would be worthwhile to review genesis of the Takeover Code starting from 1990. Briefly, it may be stated as follows:

• In 1990 the Government amends clause 40 of the Listing Agreement according to which threshold acquisition level reduced from 25 per cent to 10 per cent; change in management control to trigger public offer; minimum mandatory public offer of 20 per cent; disclosure requirement through mandatory public announcement.

• In 1992 SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1992 was notified.

• In 1994 SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1994 was notified replacing 1992 Regulations introducing new provisions to enable both negotiated and open market acquisitions and allowing competitive bids.

• In 1995 SEBI sets up committee under former Chief Justice of India P N Bhagwati to review the 1994 Takeover Regulations in order to frame comprehensive regulations.

• In 1997 Bhagwati Committee submits its report on the Takeover Regulations to SEBI.

• In 1997 SEBI accepts Bhagwati Committee report and notified SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1997 after which it has been time and again being amended to suit the prevailing market conditions in order to facilitate an investor friendly market.

Rationale behind codifying the Takeover Code

3. With the announcement of the policy of globalisation, the doors of Indian economy were opened for the overseas investors. But to compete at the world platform, the scale of business was needed to be increased. In this changed scenario, mergers and acquisitions were the best option available for the corporate considering the time factor involved in capturing the opportunities made available by the globalisation. But soon the predators with huge disposable wealth started exploiting this opportunity to the prejudice of retail investor. This created a need for some regulations to protect the interest of investors which were done through enactment of the Takeover Code and various other ancillary rules and regulations. The major objectives of the Takeover Code can summarised as follows:

Investors having the option of choosing to exit from the company

Tougher requirements for disclosure of material information with respect to the open offer enabling the investor to make an informed decision

Effective and efficacious completion of takeover formalities in a timely manner

Key recommendations of the TRAC

4. Key recommendations of the TRAC can be summarized as follows:

4.1 Trigger of the Takeover Code

(i) The threshold for triggering of the Takeover Code has been increased from 15 per cent to 25 per cent.

(ii) The creeping acquisition limit of 5 per cent in one financial year increased from 15 per cent-55 per cent to 25 per cent-75 per cent. Such acquisition can be made in any manner (including through open market purchases, negotiated deals, bulk or block deals, preferential allotment, etc.).

(iii) Acquisition of control over a target company would require the acquirer to make an open offer.

4.2 Size of open offer

The size of open offer has been increased from 20 per cent to 100 per cent of the shares of the company.

4.3 Offer price

(i) For direct acquisition - Volume-weighted average market price ('VWAP') for 60 trading days prior to the public announcement to replace average of the weekly high and low of the closing prices of shares for past 26 weeks or 2 weeks. Further, in addition to highest negotiated price between parties and highest price paid by acquirer and PAC during 26 weeks prior to public announcement, VWAP for shares acquired by acquirer and PAC during past 52 weeks also to be considered for determining open offer price.

(ii) For indirect acquisition - New price indicator introduced in the form of highest price paid by acquirer or PAC between date of primary acquisition and date of public announcement for indirectly acquired target company, in addition to the existing price indicators. Further, offer price shall stand enhanced by additional 10 per cent per annum for the period between date of primary acquisition and date of detailed public statement.

4.4 Definition of 'control'

The definition of 'control' to include not only the right but also the ability to appoint majority of the directors on the Board of the target company.

4.5 Deemed direct acquisition - Concept of deemed direct acquisition introduced if the proportionate net asset value/sales turnover/market capitalisation of the indirectly acquired target company as a percentage of the consolidated net asset value/sales turnover/market capitalisation of the directly acquired entity is in excess of 80 per cent, on the basis of the most recent audited annual financial statements.

4.6 Delisting

An acquirer would be required to state upfront in public announcement its intention to delist the target company. If the shareholding of the acquirer is between 75 per cent to 90 per cent after the open offer, the acquirer would be required to either bring his holding down to ensure compliance with the Listing Agreement, or proportionately reduce both his acquisitions under the agreement that triggered the open offer and the acquisitions under the open offer. No requirement to make a separate delisting offer under Delisting Regulations if acquire crosses 90 per cent delisting threshold through the open offer under the Takeover Code.

4.7 Competing offers

The period for making competing offer changed to 15 business days from the date of detailed public statement of open offer. Further, within 21 business days from expiry of the offer period, any competing acquirer would be free to negotiate and acquire the shares tendered to the other competing acquirer, at the same price that was offered by him to the public.

4.8 Non-compete fees

Omitted. Promoters to be paid the same price per share as the public shareholders.

4.9 Open offer process - (i) Timing of public announcement - A summary public announcement on the same day of agreeing to acquire shares or voting rights in, or control over the target company. A detailed public statement within 5 business days from making of the summary public announcement. (ii) Timeline for open offer - 57 business days.

4.10 Obligations of the manager

The manager is free to deal with the shares of the target company after the offer period.The manager shall file a report with the Board within 15 business days from the expiry of tendering period.

Analysis of the recommendations

6. On basis of the recommendations given by the TRAC, an attempt is being made to analyse the impact of the recommendations that would have on each of the stakeholder in the succeeding paras:

6.1 Promoters of the target company

Rise in hostile takeovers of companies in which the promoters have a lower shareholding will be simple. This argument is augmented by the new threshold limits from 15 per cent to 25 per cent.

• Substantial shareholders to benefit from the exemption that is provided in the case of increase in voting rights due to buy-back of shares that happens but this rule is subject to certain conditions. This rule also benefits those who do not participate in any buy-back but end up crossing the threshold for open offer.

• The present Takeover Code permits creeping acquisition only up to 55 per cent but the recommendations permits creeping acquisition of 5 per cent per annum up till 75 per cent for any acquirer who holds 25 per cent or more voting rights in the target company.

• Promoters will now be paid at the same rate for their stake as is paid to other public shareholders of the target company due the abolishment of non-compete fees. This move could severely impact the stake sale done by many promoters in listed companies.

6.2 Public shareholders

• One of the primary intention for creating a Takeover Code is to protect the interest of all the stakeholders and this includes public shareholders as well. TRAC has recommended that the open offer size be increased from the present 20 per cent to 100 per cent. This could be viewed as path breaking because it gives exit opportunity to all the shareholders and not just a handful.

• TRAC urged the Central Board of Direct Taxes to put proposal to the Government for an amendment in the Income-tax Act to exempt capital gains resulting from sale of shares tendered in an open offer.

• By deletion of the concept of non-compete fee, all sort of difference between promoters and public shareholders have been removed. A uniform price is offered to one and all, thus, introducing an equitable treatment to every stakeholders.

• Risk associated with the volatile market conditions will be minimised as the timeline has been shortened for the open offer. Largely the price determined for the open offer at times ends up to be substantially lower than the market prices when the shares are finally tendered.

• One major change envisages is with respect to the accountability of the independent directors. The independent directors have to compulsorily make reasoned recommendations on the open offer. For the public shareholders this is a welcome move as they stand to gain from the experience and wisdom of the independent directors.

6.3 Strategic acquirers

• Increase in the cost for acquiring a listed company on the account of increased open offer size from 20 per cent to 100 per cent.

• Due to the increase in the cost of acquisition the domestic acquirers would find it difficult as the banks would have limitations in providing the finance. Moreover, at the same time foreign entity, wanting to acquire Indian company, would be placed at an advantage as there would be easy access to money outside India.

• Delisting becomes easier as the acquirer can bypass the requirements of the Delisting Regulations and delist the company directly if the acquirer's stake in the target company exceeds the delisting threshold.

• There are newer alternatives to the acquisition as it now also includes their own liquid shares or convertible securities.

6.4 Private equity investors

• The higher trigger option of 25 per cent should see an increment in the volume of private equity investment as now they can increase their stake in listed companies upto 24.99 per cent without having to worry about triggering the open offer requirements

• There is still a lack of clarity on the definition of 'control'. Instances such as when a private equity investor does not have a positive control over the affairs of the company by only getting minority rights. 'Defacto control' provides a better solution here than 'dejure control'.

6.5 Target company

• As mentioned earlier, there is an increase with respect to the

accountability of the independent directors as from now on they have to give compulsorily reasoned recommendations to their shareholders with respect to the open offer explaining whether they are in favour of the open offer or not.

• There is a new requirement for passing a special resolution by

the shareholders of the target company if they wish to dispose off an asset/undertaking within a period of two years from the end of the offer period.

Conclusion

7. TRAC has attempted to simplify the Takeover Code and align it with the international best practices. The report of TRAC sets a benchmark to emulate before any new legislation is introduced since some of the important principles followed by TRAC such as sound statistical analysis, relying on past court rulings, analysing international Takeover Codes, plugging the loopholes based on some of the recent cases, etc., are extremely important for developing a robust legislation which can stand the test of time. If SEBI stamps the recommendations of TRAC with force of law, replacing the extant Takeover Code, then the Report of TRAC will be guiding light for takeover regime in India in the next decade to come as was Bhagwati Committee Report in the previous decade.

Stop Smoking - Kick the Smoking Habit

As you are reading this, you're already thinking about taking the first step to quit smoking. The choice to put down the cigarettes for good can be daunting, but this guide, along with support from loved ones, can help you to accomplish your goal. After all, about 50 percent of smokers were able to become ex-smokers, so you can do it, too. If you've attempted to kick the habit before with no luck, use what you've learned during your previous tries to ensure your success with this endeavor. Honestly, the process won't be easy, but once you've succeeded, you'll feel especially accomplished, not to mention significantly healthier.

Why should I quit?

It's common knowledge that smoking causes cancer in the long run, especially for those who have been smoking cigarettes for years. But smoking causes immediate damage to your proven carcinogens, or cancer-causing agents. Some of the most toxic ingredients in cigarettes include:

• Nicotine, which is poisonous and can be deadly
• Arsenic, the same substance used in rat poisoning
• Methane, an ingredient in rocket fuel -Ammonia, a common floor cleaning agent
• Cadmium, a substance used to make batteries
• Carbon Monoxide, a gas present in a car exhaust
• Formaldehyde, a body tissue preservation ingredient
• Butane, or lighter fluid
• Hydrogen Cyanide, which is gas chamber poison

Each time you breathe in cigarette smoke, these chemicals enter your bloodstream and become even more damaging.

I've made the decision to quit. How can I ensure success this time?

Congratulations! This is an extremely positive first step; there are some things you can start doing before you're officially smoke-free to guarantee your accomplishment:

• If you've made an effort to stop smoking before, be honest about why your attempt didn't stick. What can you do differently this time?
• Inform your friends and loved ones about your plan to quit smoking. Ask them to take your decision seriously and request their support by asking them not to smoke around you or offer you cigarettes.
• Throw away all of your lighters, cigarettes, and ashtrays. This will motivate you to get-and stay smoke free.
• Have a serious conversation with your doctor about nicotine replacement options. Nicotine sprays, gums or patches, as well as a few newer medical developments can assist you in your quest to become a non-smoker. These products work best when used immediately. Ask your doctor for specific instructions on how to use the alternatives correctly.
• Become part of a support group in your community or school so that you can share concerns and motivational stories with people who truly understand.
• Ask a friend or loved one if you can call them when you're having a weak moment, feel unmotivated to quit, or have a nicotine craving. Select someone who has your best interest at heart, so that the person will remind you of all the great reasons you have to stop smoking.

Cigarette Smoking by State

There are still people in this world smoking. It seems that a new generation of smokers is here ready to replace the older generation which is dying off from cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. Currently, 20.6% of the US population smoke, as of 2009 according to the Centers for Disease Control. This is important information as it helps us understand what challenges lay before us. Statistics, demographics and other factors related to tobacco use are vital as we move to develop a comprehensive tobacco control policy.

Many here tobacco control and begin the task of fear mongering. Our founding fathers were very aggressive in designing a government which would look out for the citizen's best interest. Certainly, the health of its citizens would be considered a role for government. However, there are segments which feel it is not the government's role to mandate health care or even promote healthy living. Oh, they're happy to hear about a president's interest in getting the kids of America to exercise, but don't touch their alcohol, cigarettes or insurance.

But regardless of which side of the aisle you find yourselves on, we can all agree that smoking is bad for you. In fact, we should all be able to agree that secondhand smoke (SHS) is bad for you, as well. Back in the early 1980's, 88% of nonsmoking Americans were exposed to SHS. Today, that number has been reduced to 40%. However, children between the ages of 3-11 years old are exposed to SHS at a rate of 54%. As a result, they are suffering from respiratory symptoms like coughing and wheezing. Although, we've cut the exposure rate by over half in the last 30 years, any level of SHS exposure should be considered unsafe.

So today, we'll look at which states have the highest and lowest rates of smoking prevalence. Do you know where your state ranks? Can you take a guess? Part of what drives the prevalence rates are education, state minimum cigarette pricing, state excise taxes and the tobacco lobby. Before we look some of these states, where would you estimate North Carolina ranks? What about Arizona? Sure, right away we can make educated guesses. States with lower excise taxes and minimum pricing will have higher rates of tobacco use. States with more expensive cigarettes will have lower consumption rates. This is all apart of tobacco control and is an under-appreciated tool in the fight to improve the health of our communities and towns. Most people feel these policies are infringements on their rights to pursue happiness. While others see them as necessary to help people quit smoking. The result improves our economy and our health care model.

Okay then, here is a partial list of states and their smoking rates given in percent.

Top 3 Consuming States

1. West Virginia 25.6%
2. Kentucky 25.6
3. Oklahoma 25.5

Bottom 5 Consuming States

1. Utah 9.8%
2. California 12.9
3. Washington 14.9

As a whole, the overall smoking rate has remained static over the last decade. We really need to get the word out and work to help people stop smoking. Currently, the overall mortality rate for lung cancer is 50%. Now consider that 90% of all lung cancers are caused by smoking. Imagine what the overall health impact would be if we reduced the smoking rate in the US from 20 to 10%. How many lives would we save?

For a complete ranking of all 50 states, visit our stop smoking website at stopsmokinghelper.org. There, you will also find scientific information on the stop smoking benefits, a complete listing of all the stop smoking aids available on the market and more information to empower you or your loved ones as smoking cessation becomes a reality. There is even a nicotine addiction quiz you can take which may help you select the best stop smoking method.

Health Effects of Cigarette Smoking on the Body

Effects on the Lungs

Lung cancer is perhaps the best-known effect of smoking, but smoking also causes a number of other lung diseases, including:

* Bronchitis, in which the small airways in your lungs swell and close up
* Emphysema, in which the air sacs where oxygen enters your body swell up and are damaged
* Respiratory infections
* Asthma

Effects on the Heart and Circulation

Smoking increases heart disease risk and the risk of a blocked blood vessel. Depending where the blood vessel is, this can lead to a stroke (damage to your brain) or heart attack.

Smoking causes the blood vessels to narrow and harden, blood pressure to increase, and blood to become stickier, thicker, and less capable of carrying oxygen. All of these factors together are bad news for the heart and the whole body. People under 40 increase their heart attack risk by 5 times if they smoke.

Effects on the Skin and Eyes

Smoke is irritating not only to the lungs but also to the eyes and skin. Age-related degeneration in sight can be caused by smoking, and the risk of cataracts (cloudy eyes) is increased.

Skin cancer, reduced blood flow to the skin, more rapid skin aging, wrinkling, dryness and poor wound healing are all potential health effects of smoking.

Effects on the Mouth and Throat

Cancers of the mouth and throat, gum disease, reduction of ability to smell and taste, bad breath, mouth infections, tooth decay, coughing, and poor healing from dental work are just some of the effects of drawing cigarette smoke into the lungs through the mouth and throat.

Effects on Sexual Health

Both men's and women's fertility is reduced by smoking. It can also reduce male hormone (testosterone) levels and lead to impotence through poor blood flow. For women, smoking can interfere with the menstrual cycle, increase risk of stroke or heart attack in combination with oral contraceptives and increase risk of cervical cancer.

Effects on Digestion and Internal Organs

Irritation and ulcers in the digestive system, kidney disease, cancer of the kidneys, bladder, stomach and liver, weakness and poor healing of the bones are just some of the negative health effects of smoking on the body's internal organs and systems.

Effects on the Brain

Smokers' brains can shrink and become less effective at remembering and processing.

Overall, the harm that smoking does to the body is considerable and widespread. Every major organ and system is affected. Despite knowing this, smokers often find it difficult to stop, because the harm done by smoking is long-term while the pleasure is immediate. Nevertheless, wanting to be healthier (and protect the health of others) is a major reason people give for stopping smoking.

7 Things You Need to Realise to Help You Stop Smoking

Perhaps you are about to try and stop smoking, or have already unsuccessfully tried to stop. Whatever your interest in stopping smoking. I want you to be able to become a non-smoker easily, naturally and for the rest of your much longer life!

1. Nobody really likes the taste or smell of cigarettes; however you, the smoker, have become immune to that taste and smell. The non-smoker, however, will notice it though.

Think of it like this. Have you ever smelt someone's unpleasant body odour? To them it isn't noticeable because they are used to it, but to everyone else it is obvious. Every smoker I have helped become a non-smoker is surprised how bad cigarettes actually smell!

2. Do you remember when you believed in Santa Claus? Then at 6 or 26 years old you stopped, well hopefully anyway. It was a reality you have had for most of your life and suddenly it changed and once you knew the truth you behaved differently?

Once your mind was changed your behaviour followed.

3. Whenever you reach for a cigarette it is an automatic learned response happening. You could liken it to driving. Once upon a time it was difficult and then gradually over time it became easier and easier and now it happens, automatically.

Smoking was tough at first but became easier and easier over time and becoming a non-smoker can be exactly the same for you.

4. Being a smoker is not rational! We all know that because of the health risks, it does not make sense to smoke. Most stop smoking initiatives will tell you about the risks to health and if smoking was rational, you wouldn't start in the first place or you would certainly stop once you knew of the danger.

5. According to the NHS the drug nicotine leaves the body within 48 hours. So after 48 hours should you still crave nicotine? Yet some smokers still use patches or gum to continue nicotine intake.

Think about this. Would you treat a chocolate addiction with chocolate? So how could you hope to stop a nicotine addiction with nicotine?

6. One of the hardest things for a smoker to realise and accept is that becoming a non-smoker does not have to be difficult, or a struggle. One of the reasons people struggle to stop smoking is the habitual pattern that they have learned over the years and anything you learn you can relearn.

Think about it do you still try and stay awake every Christmas eve to try and catch Santa delivering your presents, or have you unlearned that behaviour?

7. If you want to become a non-smoker permanently, you really should realise that what is needed is a change in your way of thinking.

Your thinking causes your behaviour and if you reinforce behaviour long enough it becomes a habit and then automatically happens. Just like smoking does. Everything really is in your mind!

How to Stop Cigarette Smoking - 3 Proven Approaches

There are three parts to the cigarette smoking habit: it's a behaviour, accompanied by thoughts and feelings, which involves a chemical. If you want to stop smoking, you need to consider all three and how you are going to address them.

1. Changing behaviour

Cigarette smoking is a habit and a set of behaviours. If you think about what you do when you smoke, you probably have a routine or ritual about how you take out your smoking materials, prepare them, light them, and smoke them.

You also probably have particular circumstances when you habitually smoke. It may be:

• when you are in a particular place (like your home or car),

• when you're in a particular situation (such as out socially with friends),

• when you consume some other food or drink (often alcohol or caffeine),

• at a particular time of day.

Knowing the typical circumstances when you smoke helps you to make a plan when you're thinking about stopping your cigarette smoking. You'll need to have alternatives in mind so that you don't just go back to smoking in those circumstances.

For example, you're used to having something in your hand and something in your mouth. Think about what could replace cigarettes in your hand and your mouth.

2. Changing thoughts and feelings

The other thing that probably triggers you to smoke is particular feelings and thoughts. Smoking can be a distraction, a way of feeling more in control by deliberately changing how you feel (but the problem is, you're not in control of this way of feeling more in control).

Some people use cigarette smoking to increase their concentration, because it stresses your body and so makes your mind more alert.

There are also thoughts that go along with smoking. Some people see smoking as a companion or a friend, because it reliably produces a good feeling in them.

If you want to stop smoking, you need to figure out ways to manage your emotions that don't involve smoking, and ways to change your thoughts about what smoking does to you and for you.

3. Changing the chemical environment

A very common way of trying to stop smoking is to use some kind of chemical help to reduce the withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine replacement therapy, for example, gives you nicotine (the addictive drug in cigarettes) in smaller doses and in a cleaner way than cigarettes, through patches, gum, lozenges or sprays. This can help you to wean off the nicotine more gradually.

There are also other drugs which change the chemical response of your brain to cigarette smoking. Like any drug which affects your brain chemistry, they can have side effects for some people.

7 Super Foods For Anti-Aging Beauty

Fight the effects of aging with these seven super foods!

Anti-Aging products are everywhere these days, and it can be hard to know what to try to get the results you want. Creams? Serums? Treatments? Lasers? We suggest something much more basic (and better tasting): food. Many foods contain antioxidants (antioxidants help the body to repair or prevent damage and are beneficial to the skin) and other age defying elements, like Vitamin C, but we've compiled a list of seven of the most potent and helpful foods to help keep your skin looking and feeling young and fresh.

Fish

We all know dry skin does nothing but make your skin look dull and old. By eating foods containing healthy fats (like rainbow trout or salmon), you can help keep your skin looking smooth and soft. Trout is especially good for your skin because it helps repair damaged skin cells.

Beans

If fish isn't your preferred cup of tea, try beans or lentils. Beans are one of the most versatile (and cheapest) foods out there- and it will help your skin! Beans are full of antioxidants and potassium, which are not only good for you, but good for your skin, too. Beans have lots of nutrients to help fight age, but not a lot of calories.

Nuts

Nuts and seeds contain the popular Omega 3's (fish are also full of Omega 3's), which are not only great for the heart, but stimulate blood circulation and may help fight cancer and depression. Eating a serving of nuts a day will help your heart and help you look and feel your best! Try raw and unsalted nuts like almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts and seeds like pumpkin seeds.

Cucumber

A cucumber's peel contains collagen, which helps prevent wrinkles by tightening the skin. If you're going for anti-aging foods, cucumbers are a great and tasty option- and they're low in calories!

Hot Peppers

Looking for a little extra spice in your life? Go for it! Chili peppers and bell peppers will not only add extra flavor to your meals, but are chock full of antioxidants (not to mention they're great little fat burners to help keep you looking trim).

Berries

Blueberries, cherries and strawberries all contain Vitamin C, which is essential in fighting the appearance of wrinkles. Vitamin C helps produce collagen, and without it, wrinkles can appear.

The Allium Family

Onions, chives, garlic, shallots and leeks are all part of the allium family. These super foods fight the unwanted effects of aging by assisting the liver eliminate those nasty toxins that may be causing skin problems (or making you feel sluggish). If you're feeling particularly ambitious and have a green thumb, you could even grow your own veggies.

Eating your way to better skin is the easiest (not to mention healthiest) way to look and feel younger. Make yourself a berry smoothie for breakfast, snack on nuts or cucumbers throughout the day, and have stuffed peppers for dinner- it's delicious, healthy, good for your skin, and it will help keep you looking young.

10 Power Plants That Can Update To Save the Planet

Energy is an inevitable requirement where we want to progress so rapidly

Many natural phenomena contribute to produce energy without harming the environment. They are called renewable energy sources and they help to avoid contamination, either on site or in urban and remote locations either in large or small scale.
They form a cycle with no less than every resource to produce energy.




Generating energy from ocean tides is not very popular energy source, but has great potential in the near future.

generator currents and tidal energy generation utilizing tidal barrage. These energy-producing Eco-friendly and does not harm the environment at all. It follows the same principle as wind turbines, but instead of using air, spin generators in the water.

Unlike wind and solar energy, tidal plant can be predicted. Since ancient times, the tide of events is controlled directly from the relative motion of the Earth-Moon system and the lower level of the Earth-Sun system.

Lunar Energy, a British company the first to establish a tidal energy generator in Pembrokshire beach in Wales, providing electricity to thousands of homes.


9. Energy from the Waves / Waves Sea





Predicting the direction of the sea and the waves are very difficult work, but not impossible. Wave energy is the energy transport by sea surface waves, and catching desalinating energy for pumping water or generating electricity.

In Europe, energy from the wave generator has been introduced, using a floating Pelamis Wave Energy converter. they use floating devices and produce energy through meandering movement, or by mechanical movement of the wave peaks and valleys. Sea wave energy is not the same as tidal energy flux diurnal and steady gyre of ocean currents, although sometimes often confusing.

We have been pursuing this technology since 1890 and Commercial Sea Wave Energy Power Plant first in the world based in Portugal, in Aguçadora Wave Park consists of three 750 kilowatt Pelamis devices.

8. Solar Energy






Producing electricity by using solar energy and (PV) Solar photovoltaic cell is called technology. Become more efficient solar cells, transported and even flexible, allowing for easy installation.

a calculator powered by a solar cell or grid homes that receive power from photovoltaic disarray; PV; Application PV energy to produce energy in all sizes.
The oil crisis of 1973 encouraged rapid increase in production of PV during the 1970s and early 1980s. Continued to decline in oil prices during the early 1980s, however, caused a decrease in funding for photovoltaic R & D and termination of tax credits associated with the Energy Tax Act of 1978.

These factors are managed growth of approximately 15% per year from 1984 to 1996. Since the mid-1990s, leadership in the PV sector has shifted from U.S. to Japan and Germany.

7. Wind Energy





Wind Energy Generator installed in agricultural or grazing areas, has one of the lowest environmental impact of all energy sources. wind turbines used to convert wind energy into electricity or mechanical energy.

Wind energy has historically been used directly to drive the sailing ship or converted into mechanical energy to pump water or grind grain, but the main application of wind power today is generating electricity.

Spain, Portugal, Germany, Ireland, Europe led the world in offshore wind power production. United States and China to provide land resource is very possible establishment of Wind Energy Power Plant where the construction cost is lower but the cost of transmission is less, because the location of the plant away with settlements with a population of energy users


6. Hydropower





This is the most widely used form of renewable energy. The gravitational force of the falling water is a key point in the generation of hydroelectric power. In remote areas, small scale hydro installed in rivers and streams with little effect on fish or the environment. Rather than deviating water dam, water wheel to produce energy for certain industrial purposes.

hydroelectric project was built to provide a large amount of electricity needed for aluminum electrolytic plants, for example.

In Suriname, Brokopondo Reservoir was built to provide electricity for the Alcoa aluminum industry. New Zealand Manapouri Power Station was built to supply electricity to the aluminum smelter at Tiwai Point.


5. Radiant Energy





99% of normal electricity costs could be saved by using radiation energy. It performs the same function, but do not have identical behavior with electricity.
Methernitha Community in Switzerland currently has 5 or 6 working models less fuel, self-running devices that tap this energy.

Nikola Tesla's initiators transmitter, the device T. Henry Moray's radiant energy, Edwin Gray's EMA Motor, and Paul Baumann's machine Testatika all run on radiant energy. Fractionation is a method of collecting natural energy from the environment or the excavation of electricity.

Nikola Tesla to build one of the first wireless telephone is based on radiation energy. The resonance of the transmitter and receiver devices set to the same frequency, which allows them to communicate.


4. Geothermal Power




Geothermal power the world's energy extracted through a natural process to provide heat to a single dwelling unit or producing energy through geothermal power plant.
cost effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly are no longer confined to regions near tectonic plate boundaries. heating units have been pushing the scope and size of resources that deserve to be expanded.

The largest group of geothermal power plants in the world are located in the geysers, geothermal field in California, USA. Most of the cost of electricity investments into drilling because it does not require any fuel. At present 24 countries that utilize this technology and potential sites under consideration.

3. Biomass





Biomass, in the energy production industry, refers to the biological material of living or recently dead that can be used as a source of fuel or for industrial production. Generally, biomass refers to plant materials that are kept for use as biofuel, but can also include plant or animal matter used for production of fibers, chemicals, or heat.

Biomass may also include biodegradable wastes that can be burned as fuel. Biomass does not include organic material that has been transformed by geological processes into substances such as coal or petroleum.
Biomass is usually measured by dry weight.
0.5 percent of U.S. electricity supply comes from biomass power generation companies.


2. Compressed Natural Gas






If you need to substitute fossil fuels for gasoline, diesel, or propane, Compressed Natural Gas is the solution for you. It is clean and safe for use as a diffuse easily into the environment if leaked.

However, burning it does not release some greenhouse gases in the air. CNG is used in traditional cars burning gasoline engine that has been converted into bi-fuel vehicle (gasoline / CNG). It became widely known in Europe and South America due to the rising cost of gasoline.

pickup trucks, trucks and school buses, and trains are also considering the use of CNG as fuel prices and environmental problems.

1. Nuclear power





Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is a thermal power station where the heat generated from one or more nuclear reactor power plants.
NPP included in the base load power generation, which can work well when the power output is constant (although boiling water reactor to drop to half power at night). Power generated per unit of power ranging from 40MWe to 1000 MWe. New units being built in 2005 has the power of 600-1200 MWe. Until 2005 there were 443 licensed nuclear power plant in the world [1], with 441 of them operate in 31 different countries overall reactor power supplies 17% of the world.

French reprocess nuclear waste to reduce the mass and create more energy. Processing can potentially recover up to 95% of the remaining uranium and plutonium in spent nuclear fuel, put it in the new oxide fuel mixture.

4 Remedies That Can Improve Collagen Levels In The Body

If you want to ward off the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, you should help your body increase its collagen production. Low collagen levels can lead to the decline of skin structure.

If you want to improve collagen levels, you should try the following helpful remedies:

1. Increase your intake of foods and drinks rich in vitamin C.

This vitamin is not only good for the health of your immune system. It is also vital in producing more collagen and elastin in your body. In addition to that, this vitamin can also make your skin appear brighter and healthier. It gets rid of the dull complexion of your skin.

Try drinking freshly-squeezed lemon juice daily. This should replace unhealthy drinks like soda. Also eat fruits and vegetables rich in this vitamin.

2. Make sure you eat animal proteins as they are rich in amino acids.

Lean chicken can be a good source of amino acids if you are on a healthier diet. You can also eat more fresh water fishes. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are needed to produce more keratin in the system.

Keratin is responsible for the growth of collagen and elastin. That goes without saying that the loss of keratin can easily lead to the decline of collagen.

3. Try using effective topical masks.

You can find a myriad of collagen masks in the market. But you can actually make your own mask. I suggest mixing the ingredients rice bran and pearl powder. Rice bran contains squalene. Experts said that squalene can help improve the growth of collagen in the dermis. Pearl powder also helps because of its natural keratin component.

Mix these ingredients and apply it on your skin. You can use this mask at least two times a week for better results.

4. Look for an anti aging moisturizer that contains CynergyTK and Phytessence Wakame.

CynergyTK is an ingredient that has been extracted from the wool of sheep. This is a great source of keratin. Since sheep wool grows fast because of this ingredient, collagen can also grow fast in your integumentary system.

Phytessence Wakame is a kind of Japanese sea kelp that can prevent the impending decline of hyaluronic acid. One of the main reasons why collagen gets damaged easily is because of the loss of moisture. Hyaluronic acid is needed to properly lubricate collagen fibers so they do not get damaged easily.

5 Anti Aging Tips That Can Help Fade Wrinkles And Fine Lines

If you are searching for treatments that can help fade wrinkles and fine lines, you came to the right place. I believe that defying the aging process is not very challenging if you know how to take good care of your skin and your whole body. Furthermore, it requires a bit more participation from you.

Here are some anti aging tips and treatments that can help fade wrinkles and fine lines:

1. I suggest taking grape seed extract supplements daily.

GSE is a powerful antioxidant. According to experts, GSE has more powerful antioxidative benefits compared to Vitamin E, C and E. It can protect your cells from the damaging effects of harmful free radicals.

This supplement also works in preventing collagen damage. It keeps collagen fibers supple and strong. It will help fade wrinkles and keep your skin younger and healthier for a longer period of time.

2. Try using gelatine mask.

Gelatine is actually a helpful anti aging treatment. It is a predecessor of keratin, the functional protein that regenerates collagen and elastin in the body. If you use this as a mask, you will augment the missing keratin in your integumentary system.

Just dissolve gelatine cubes in boiling water. You can add hydrating ingredients in it such as olive oil or rose oil. Let it cool down for a bit but do not allow it to harden up before putting it on your face. Apply it on your face and leave it there for about an hour. Use this treatment daily to reduce wrinkles.

3. Use a moisturizer with CynergyTK and Phytessence Wakame.

This anti aging moisturizer can help you out. CynergyTK contains a hefty amount of keratin. As mentioned above, keratin can improve the re-growth of collagen and elastin. Phytessence Wakame is a kind of Japanese sea kelp that can hinder the sudden loss of hyaluronic acid. This acid is also vital for the skin because of its ability to lubricate collagen fibers.

4. Drink carrot juice daily.

Carrots contain beta carotene. In the functions of the integumentary system, beta carotene works in correcting damaged skin tissues. Drinking carrot juice can also help flush out toxins in your system.

5. Try applying safflower oil on your wrinkles.

Safflower oil contains linoleic acid. This acid can re-connect damaged and broken skin tissues. It brings back the resilient and the firm structure of the skin. It helps lessen the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

5 Things That Can Slow Down The Aging Process Of Your Skin

Keeping your skin young, healthy and vibrant is not an overnight thing. Fighting the rapid progress of skin aging should be done on a daily basis if you want to put off the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It might sound a little daunting and time-consuming but if you know what to do, you can achieve this without a hitch.

Here are the 5 things that can help slow down the aging process of your skin:

1. Dark-colored berries

Do you like eating blueberries? What about strawberries? They are definitely good for your body. Dark-colored berries contain a hefty amount of antioxidants. They can help fight harmful free radicals in the body. These free radicals tend to weaken cellular functions.

Part of the aging process can be attributed to the weakening of cellular functions. With the help of these berries, you can keep skin cells healthy and plump.

2. Collagen mask

It is no secret that collagen is imperative for the strong structure of the skin. The collagen levels in our integumentary system decline as we get older. You need to augment this through the help of a collagen mask. Try making your own.

Mix pearl powder with gelatine. Gelatine is a precursor of keratin while pearl powder contains a hefty amount of keratin. Keratin is the functional protein needed to boost collagen production in the body. If you use this, you no longer have to rely on synthetic collagen treatments.

3. Sun block

Protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun all the time. UV rays can break down collagen, Vitamin A and hyaluronic acid in the body. Make sure you apply sun block 30 minutes before going outdoors.

4. Natural anti aging moisturizer.

Your moisturizer should contain natural ingredients such as CynergyTK and Phytessence Wakame. CynergyTK is one of the best sources of keratin.
