Famous private jets

admin

While most of us wonder if it’s safe to fly in today’s world or if we want to jump the hoops just to catch a plane, celebrities are sailing the world by racking up miles on celebrity private jets.

Tony Blair angered environmental groups when he said he was unwilling to give up long-haul flights. Although the amount of emissions that the airline contributes to greenhouse gases is very small, environmentalists consider it an important part of reducing carbon emissions. While some of us may think twice about whether we should fly for some reason, celebrities are getting on their private celebrity jets.

Donatella Versace is so rich it is almost impossible to fathom and with that wealth comes a very luxurious celebrity jet for which going green means choosing the color for this season’s runway. Donatella will continue to enjoy those leather sofas and fine wine as she travels the world.

Tom Cruise has been dubbed “impossible broadcasts”. After all, here’s a man who takes celebrity private jets seriously by owning three of his own. In fact, it has been reported that he sent one of his private jets to pick up some organic vegetables. It must be nice!

John Travolta leaves the largest carbon footprint of any of the stars with his Boeing 707 parked in the front yard next to his Lear and Gulfstream. No wonder he calls his home Jumbolair. He has over 5000 hours logged as a pilot. Well, at least he was quick to help with Hurricane Katrina.

Simon Cowell is a man who enjoys his lifestyle and is unwilling to apologize for it. He loves champagne and there is no smoking sign on his face.

Phillip Green is a billionaire who owns more than 2,500 stores. He avoids the tax collector by living in Monaco, but has no problem putting his share or carbon into the atmosphere by traveling almost daily between London and Monaco in his Gulfstream. The irony is that Topshop, a chain of stores he owns, promotes the “highest environmental standards.” I guess what’s good for the goose isn’t always good for the goose.

Roman Abramovich is the governor of a province in eastern Russia, and while his province might be struggling, it certainly isn’t with Dad’s famous private jets, which include a 180-seat Boeing 767. The renovation itself cost millions, but wow! now you can enjoy giant plasma screens, beautiful mahogany and walnut furniture accented with real gold. This is truly a jet for billionaires.

Michael O’Leary is environmental enemy number one. You will proudly declare that you intend to increase your carbon emissions by purchasing more celebrity private jets. He argues that the airline only contributes 2% to the world’s carbon emissions and that there are bigger fish to fly.

Celebrity private jets aren’t about to leave the skies anytime soon – in fact, you’re likely to find more of them rather than less, regardless of concerns for the environment and carbon emissions. Heck, if you have it, use it, you only live once. And if you really want to get to the environmental issues, the industry is where we could start!

Electronics Landfill Ban Grows in US – North Carolina Promotes Electronics Recycling

admin

When most people think of recycling, they imagine sorting their trash to set aside plastic bottles, glass containers, and paper products with the classic triangle-shaped recycling logo. While these materials have long been the most common to be recycled, there is a growing awareness of the need to view recycling electronics as a crucial part of green living. In fact, more and more states have banned the disposal of electronics in landfills and are promoting electronics recycling programs.

Many household electronics can be recycled, including; cell phones, televisions, computer monitors, computer hard drives, keyboards, telecommunications scraps, servers, circuit boards, power supplies, CD players, digital cameras, and a variety of other items. This long list of e-waste products presents a new opportunity to dramatically reduce the amount of waste that modern society produces throughout everyday life. While e-waste recycling presents a great opportunity, it also presents a great potential danger if we ignore it. For example, CRT screen televisions (classic televisions) contain an average of four to eight pounds of lead. When dumped into landfills, lead from these units can absorb into the soil and make the soil and groundwater toxic. This process causes irreparable damage to the environment, as well as to our own critical vital resources.

On July 1, 2011, North Carolina became the 18th state in the union to place some form of ban on the disposal of electronics in landfills. North Carolina residents must now recycle their old televisions and computers. This prohibition covers all components of the computer, including; monitors, CPUs, laptops, printers, fax machines, scanners, mice, and keyboards. The ban also covers all televisions, including; flat screen televisions, tube televisions and projection televisions.

While the ban is intended to prevent citizens from disposing of their e-waste in the trash, the state does not seek to target individuals for non-compliance. The new law will be enforced at landfills and those companies will be responsible for rejecting waste containing prohibited items. Enforcement of this new law presents additional challenges for officials, as the motivation to comply with landfills can only be judged on a case-by-case basis. Outside of landfill management, take the initiative to do the right thing; there are few things that prevent them from doing business as usual.

In addition to the benefits that this new law presents to residents of North Carolina and the rest of the United States, this law represents a growing trend of public awareness and the actions that the leaders of this country are taking to bring the American people to a new era of environmental impact. responsible living. And while we are taking great strides to reverse the damage that we have caused in the past 50 years, other countries like China and India are experiencing technological revolutions and will soon be presented with the same problems that we are seeking solutions to in this country now.

It is our responsibility as technology leaders to show other nations that there is a productive way to live responsibly and that this way of life can go hand in hand with economic health and prosperity. As our recycling industry grows and contributes to the economic growth of this country, people’s eyes are opened to new possibilities. People are constantly given the opportunity to live responsibly while enjoying the many benefits of a technologically advanced lifestyle.

Keeping your food safe

admin

Of all health and environmental issues, food safety demands the most urgent attention from authorities when regulations are found to have been violated. Recently in China, there have been several food safety scandals that have resulted in huge financial losses and damage to the reputation of the country and its food export sector. The climax came in July 2007 when it was announced that the former head of the State Food and Drug Administration, Zheng Xiaoyu, took bribes in exchange for issuing state food safety licenses. He was later executed in accordance with China’s tough official stance on corruption. Before this, there were a number of scandals related to the food sector. Jinhua ham was found to have been treated with a poisonous pesticide prior to sale (2003); the production of counterfeit baby food that caused the death of around 80 babies and hundreds of cases of severe malnutrition in 2004; and most recently, in 2008, the contaminated baby formula produced by the Sanlu Group caused the onset of kidney disease with many victims.

The fact that the State Food and Drug Administration of China (established in 2003 to take control of food safety issues) was itself the target of a corruption investigation has led to a resurgence in the adoption of audited standards. by third parties for food safety in the country. country. Foreign importers from China do not trust Chinese national standards and require exporters to adhere to international standards such as ISO 22000 inspected by global certification bodies. Similar incidents have occurred in Japan, most notably with the Snow Brand dairy company, which was found to have falsified food safety records in the wake of a tainted dairy scandal in 2002.

Most nations have a government authority to manage these problems from production to sale to consumers. They advise on national legislation and provide food safety requirements for products imported and produced in the country. These include the UK Food Standards Authority, the US Food and Drug Administration, as well as the China State Food and Drug Administration. At EU level, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) conducts food safety risk assessments in cooperation with national governments and provides independent advice and communication on current and emerging risks.

The HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) guidelines published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations are a fundamental part of the important food safety standard being developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 22000. There are seven HACCP principles that must be followed. These dictate that food producers must conduct a pre-production hazard analysis to identify and address biological, chemical or physical problems that make food unsafe for human consumption; establish good security surveillance systems; and implement comprehensive documentation procedures. The application of HACCP principles and procedures is mandatory in the US for food products including meat, juices, and seafood, and is generally applied elsewhere as the basis for third-party food safety certification.

As the examples from China show, food safety certification is absolutely critical for food retail and international trade. Without it, producers and suppliers cannot sell their products. There is significant reputational and business risk associated with the way in which certification is obtained and it is advisable to obtain certification against recognized standards issued by reputable third party certification bodies.

Launched in 2005, ISO 22000 is already one of the best recognized international food safety standards. Provides food safety management systems for any organization, regardless of size, involved in any aspect of the food chain. To meet the standard, an organization must demonstrate its ability to effectively control food safety hazards to ensure that food is safe for human consumption. It incorporates the HACCP principles described above.

Before the ISO standard, the BRC (British Rail Consortium) global standard for food safety was established and trusted by major global retailers to deliver effective supply chain management and legal compliance. The Global Standard is part of a group of product safety standards, which together enable certification of the entire food supply chain, and was the first standard in the world to be approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GSFI). .

Formerly called EurepGAP, GLOBALGAP establishes voluntary ‘pre-farm’ standards for the certification of agricultural products and Good Agricultural Practices. The standards are awarded by approved third-party certification bodies in more than 75 countries. GLOBALGAP is a business-to-business label and is therefore not directly relevant to consumers.

Other leading standards, more on the ethical side of food production, are the Food Alliance Certification and the US-based SQF Certification.The Food Alliance Certification is awarded to sustainable food products from North America covering topics such as the humane treatment of animals and the exclusion of hormones, non-therapeutic antibiotics, transgenic crops or livestock and certain pesticides, as well as the protection of soil and water on the farm / ranch. level.

SQF (Safe Quality Food) certification is awarded by licensed certifiers globally and provides independent certification that a supplier’s food safety and quality management system complies with national and international food safety standards. SQF certifications have been awarded to thousands of companies operating in Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and North and South America.

Kitchens: then and now

admin

Kitchens have come a long way since the 20th century, back then it was generally used for the sole purpose of preparing and cooking food in our home. Today, kitchens have become one of the most social rooms in the house.

Historically, home design in North America and parts of Europe included a separate dining room from the kitchen. Often times, the kitchen would be the smallest room separated by arches and enclosed in walls. These old traditional designs generally allowed a small table to be placed in the kitchen for less formal dinners. Built-in cabinets used to be considered more practical and there wasn’t much desire or need for aesthetics. The archway from the kitchen often led to the dining room where family or other formal dinner guests were waiting. This 20th century custom has been replaced by an open concept design that adds functionality, aesthetic appeal, and an increase in the value of your home.

In recent home remodeling trends, unnecessary partitions are often removed as they are seen as social barriers that divide kitchen and formal dining areas. We now allow friends and family to participate in the kitchen and chat in the kitchen instead of waiting in a completely different room. Our kitchens have become the focal point of our homes; now they are, in most cases, the largest room in our homes. It shows our class, our social skills and, most important of all, our hospitality.

Kitchens are a wonderful way to represent your home and yourself. Most of us are drawn to modern kitchens these days. After all, it is the first thing we notice when we enter a house. Although, as pleasant as they are, the practicality of work and storage surfaces has improved a lot since the 20th century.

For instance:

  • The walls can be removed to create an open concept living room.
  • Incorporate an island into your design, fit with bar seating for entertaining.
  • Drawers “jam” or noisily open on unresponsive slides – this is a thing of the past. We use ball bearing slides with shock absorbers that allow them to close smoothly and silently.
  • With the evolution of full-extension sliding hardware under mount, drawers can hold more items than ever before in plain sight, making access very convenient.
  • The days when closet doors slam shut and crockery rattles are in the rearview mirror. Modern kitchens use soft-close hinges.
  • With a little creativity, your designer has a wide variety of products to choose from to make use of previously unused or hard-to-get cabinet corner storages. The possibilities are endless and the amount of storage that can be achieved, even in a smaller kitchen, will surprise you.

Kia Optima Hybrid withstands a true northern winter

admin

Many people love the idea of ​​a hybrid, but are concerned about the hybrid’s performance in the dead of winter. To answer this question, I took a Kia Hybrid to an extended 2-day demo. A lot of people write about how the Kia Hybrid performs in winter in places like Vancouver or Chicago, but Winnipeggers will only rely on a true Winnipeg test, so now we’re giving you the real Winnipeg test in January. By the way, Winnipeg’s average January temperature is between -23 and -13 degrees C.

The Kia Optima Hybrid I drove was a 2012 hybrid that had an MSRP of $ 30,895 plus freight, fees, and taxes. Currently at the time of writing, Kia is showing a $ 3,400 rebate on this vehicle, bringing it level with its non-hybrid counterpart.

When they gave me the keys to this vehicle, it was 6pm at night, so it was already dark. The car was parked in the back lot where it had been unused for the past 30 days or so. It was a cold January afternoon (-18 degrees C) and the car was sitting under 6 inches of snow and parked behind an 8-inch tall plow row. After cleaning the windshield and driver’s door, I got in and hit the quick start button. It was launched immediately and the seat quickly adjusted to the predetermined position. I let it warm up for a minute while I shook the rest of the snow off the top of the vehicle. When I got back into the vehicle, I turned off the traction control and got out of the snow where I was parked. I drove the car up to the building and put a license plate on it. When I got back to the car it was already warmed up. This was much faster than I expected and I was impressed.

The first thing customers want to know when it comes to a hybrid is fuel economy. Will it save enough fuel to pay for itself? The second is how long will the battery last and how much will it cost to replace it?

Let me address the second point first. In Canada, Kia has put a 96-month, 160,000-km limited warranty on the entire hybrid system. So if your battery fails within the first 8 years or 160,000 km, you are covered. This will mean that for most consumers, battery life and replacement value are not an issue.

Kia Optima Hybrid is in the Guinness Book of World Records for “Lowest Fuel Economy, 48 US States: Gasoline Hybrid Car” verified by a Guinness World Records adjudicator. On this screen they achieved an average of 3.3 l / 100 km. The only thing we found in Winnipeg in January driving through the heart of the city is that you can throw energuide ratings out the window. Regardless of the vehicle you drive, the ratings will actually be about 75% of your actual gas mileage. Others may argue this, but with my driving style and use of the vehicle, I generally find these numbers to be accurate no matter what vehicle I drive. This was true with the Optima Hybrid. Energuide ratings for this vehicle are 5.8 l / 100 km for city driving. Energuide’s ratings for the non-hybrid Optima are 8.6 l / 100 km. The true mileage I found for these two vehicles in this condition was 8.1 for the hybrid and 11.7 for the GDI Optima. The Optima Hybrid still saves a considerable amount of fuel in Winnipeg in winter compared to its non-hybrid sibling. However, a disclaimer is that the vehicle did not function as an electric vehicle until about 17 km into the trip, so it was sitting between 11 and 12 l / 100 km until the last km where it started to function fully with the EV and average gas mileage plummeted.

So for those wondering if the hybrid will pay for itself, in this app the answer is resoundingly yes. Current discounts on the hybrid make this vehicle the same price as the Optima EX. Therefore, the purchase costs are approximately the same regardless of whether you choose Gasoline Direct Injection or Hybrid (GDI). If the vehicle travels 100,000 km with this difference in fuel consumption, the savings will amount to $ 3,780. This number is based on fuel at $ 1.05 / liter. The savings will be greater at a higher gas price. Remember this is based solely on winter driving. This will increase for anyone traveling more than 20km per trip. As said, the EV engine started running after 17 km, so the gas mileage started to improve considerably. At the other end of the spectrum, if you’re using your car just to go to the store and buy a loaf of bread, you may not notice any winter savings. I will notice that while I was driving the hybrid in the summer, it was running full EV when I turned the block.

So for all those asking me if a hybrid can weather our Winnipeg winters, I’ll say “definitely.” The cold weather started after a long sit-in, it handled well on snow-covered roads, saved fuel in the long run, and is priced competitively with the non-hybrid version.

Why Machine Translators Shouldn’t Be 100 Percent

admin

Online automatic translators translate word for word most of the time. And if you’ve ever taken a language course, you know that sentence structure differs from language to language, hence word-for-word translations are rarely correct. Although they can correctly translate “green apple” to “green apple”, they fall short if the translations get a bit more complicated. Take a look at this Spanish to English translation of a segment of a children’s story:

Originally written in Spanish:

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Natalie. She was only three years old, and everyone who saw her fell in love with her. One day her caring mother took her shopping to buy her new pajamas. However, while they were in the store, Natalie saw her true love, a doll! She didn’t let her mother buy her new pajamas, saying she already had some at her grandmother’s house.

Automatic translation into English:

Once upon a time there was a very little girl named Natalie. She was only three years old, and everyone saw it, fell in love with her. One day, his mother lovingly took him shopping to buy him new pajamas. However, while they were in the store, Natalie saw her true love, a doll! She didn’t let her mother buy her new pajamas, saying she already had them at her grandmother’s house.

Human translation into English:

Once upon a time there was a girl named Natalie. She was only three years old and everyone who saw her fell in love with her. One day her loving mother took her shopping for a new pair of pajamas. However, while in the store, Natalie saw her true love, a doll! She refused to let her mother buy her new pajamas, stating that she already had pajamas on her Mimi.

Therefore, you can see from the translation of this children’s story that the automatic translator bombarded his task as a good translator. I must add that I used one of the most popular and widely used online machine translators. I won’t say which one because I don’t want to ruin anyone’s business, but this one is on the first page of Google when I search for a translator online. So, in other words, it’s really “trustworthy”.

You may be thinking that automatic translators work better from English to another language and not the other way around. Let’s look at an example of a business email originally written in English and translated into Spanish with a popular online automatic translator.

Originally written in English:

Dear Mr. White,

I am emailing you about your daughter’s grade in her Spanish class. You have consistently scored poorly on all your assignments and tests. I recommend that you stay after school for at least an hour, three days a week to meet with a Spanish tutor. I feel this is necessary for her to have the opportunity to pass this course.

Kind regards,

Automatic translation into Spanish:

Dear Mr. White,

I am emailing concerning your daughter’s grade in her Spanish class. She has consistently scored low in all her preparations and tests. I recommend that she stay after school for at least one hour three days a week to meet with a Spanish tutor. I feel this is necessary for her to have a chance in passing this course.

Regards,

Vice Principle in Jordan High School

Human translation into Spanish:

Dear Mr. White,

He sent an email regarding his daughter’s grade in her Spanish class. She has consistently scored low marks on all assignments and tests. I recommend that she stay after school for at least an hour, very days a week to meet with a private Spanish teacher. I think it is necessary for her to have a chance to pass this course.

Sincerely,

Amilia’s barn

Assistant Principal, Jordan High School

If you are using an automatic translator for school or business, you really should reconsider. Using an automatic translator can negatively affect your rating and your income! If you are trying to communicate with foreign clients using an automatic translator, maybe now you know why they did not respond or were confused as usual.

5 reasons to make your own baby food

admin

Many parents feed their babies store bought baby food, and why not? They are convenient, inexpensive, and come in a variety of flavors for a baby to enjoy.

When I was pregnant with our first child, I decided to do a little research on the food I would put in her mouth when the time came. I drew some interesting conclusions.

For a mother who is exhausted from frequent feedings and diaper changes, it is easy to seek options that are quick and convenient. While we definitely deserve quality rest and ‘me time’, a few extra minutes to shred will not only save money and time in the long run, but will also help our babies grow up healthy and strong and develop a pallet for the foods that they will. You will soon be eating solid food.

Best health choice

Our babies deserve a great quality of life, but it is difficult to control what we are putting into their bodies when the food has passed through a few hands before reaching the shopping basket. When you make your own baby food with fresh fruits, vegetables and more, you know exactly what you are putting in them.

Unfortunately, store-bought baby foods contain less than a fifth of the recommended amount of calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Packaged foods are cooked at high temperatures to kill bacteria. In part, this is how they make it possible to store them on the shelves for so long. Some see this as a negative, because many of the nutrients in food are lost as a result.

Important money savings

While small jars of baby food seem cheap at first glance, the money really does add up. The amounts babies eat can vary each day, and the jars that come in standard sizes cannot accommodate that. With homemade baby food, you decide how much to store and serve. If the ingredients are for sale, you can buy them in bulk, prepare them, and freeze them to serve weeks later.

environmental friendly

Whether you’re reusing plastic bags, containers, or glass jars, you can easily store your own food without having a stack of containers from the store with every purchase. If you’re used to throwing out the jars once the baby is fed, consider how much better homemade baby food is for the environment. You can easily prepare food and store it in reusable containers. Once they are empty, the next batch is ready.

More authentic flavors

If you have the time, it’s fun to see the difference in taste for yourself. Packaged fruits, vegetables, and meats are different in texture and flavor from the real thing. Most of the brands cannot be compared to the real business and the manufacturers cannot be blamed. There’s a reason such foods can last a long time without being refrigerated!

Easier to transition to solids

If a baby is used to eating packaged foods, it will be a big transition to get him to switch to the foods you eat on a regular basis. At ten months, our son was able to eat chunks of meat and vegetables from our plates because he had already tried them pureed.

Who made the PS3

admin

Sony Computer Entertainment is proud to produce the third home video game console for gaming fans. Its official name is PLAYSTATION 3 and is abbreviated as PS3.

PS3 is the third and last of the PlayStation series that was released in 2004. PS3 is the successor to PlayStation 2. It has competition in the market under the brand name Nintendos Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360. PS3 is the seventh generation. video game console.

It’s the new PS3 features that set it apart from its predecessors. Sony has introduced the PlayStation Network, which is a unified online gaming service. Initially, Sony had a policy of relying on game developers to play online. However, the rules of the game have changed with PS3.

Some other noteworthy features include the strong networking capabilities of PlayStations and its connectivity to the PlayStation Portable.

Connectivity with the powerful network capabilities of the PlayStation Portable and PlayStations are some of the other notable features of the PS3. In addition, PS3 uses the Blu-ray disc format, which is the latest high-definition optical disc format on the market. It can be said that PS3 is the first Blu-ray 2.0 compatible player on the market.

PS3 was released in different countries successively. It was first released in Japan, then North America, and finally Europe and Oceania. In Japan, the release date was November 11, 2006, while in North America it was November 13, 2006. In Europe and Oceania, it was released in March 2007 due to technical issues cited by Sony.

Sony first introduced PS3 to the general public on May 16, 2005 during the E3 conference. It was then demonstrated at the Tokyo gaming contest in September 2005. However, a working version was not present at both events. At both events, the demos were carried out on Devkits and PC hardware. Additionally, video footage based on the intended PlayStation 3 hardware were also shown.

The different characteristics of both models lead Sony to set them a different price. The 20GB model was priced at $ 499, while the 60GB model was priced at $ 599. However, some additional features such as the HDMI port, Wi-Fi Internet, flash card readers, and a chrome trim with the silver logo were only available on the 60GB model.

Optimum Men’s Health and Fitness Guide – Best Fitness Tips for Men

admin

Finding the perfect balance between men’s health and fitness is a daunting task these days. There are many so-called “fitness experts” who tell you one thing, while others tell you the opposite. So what fitness tips for men are actually proven to improve a man’s life?

Let’s take a look at some of the top issues and how to best address them.

WEIGHTLOSS

Every day a lot of garbage comes out on this subject. The worst products are often smartly marketed diet pills that promise a lot of results and almost ALWAYS deliver less!

So what are really the best weight loss recommendations? I’ll go straight to chase here since I’m not one to sugarcoat things. The best way to successfully lose weight and keep it off is to lift your lazy butt and do something! Anything !! Just do everything you can do.

Humans are inherently lazy and this often causes them to gain weight with each passing chronological year. The best health and fitness ideals for men come from physical activity. I’m not saying it has to be hard work.

In fact, it is not at all difficult to make male fitness a lifestyle and not a chore.

I highly recommend 20 to 30 minute interval cardio training, 3 to 5 days a week. That’s only about 3% of the whole day! Are you seriously going to tell me that you can’t dedicate 3% of your day to your health and fitness goals?

It doesn’t have to be 20 minutes, 5 days a week right off the bat. Just start slowly, take small steps, you will eventually get there. If you value your life, you must value good health as well. These fitness tips for weight loss are not that difficult to follow and you will get used to it, like everything else in life.

BUILDING MUSCLE

As a general rule, I like to lift weights to build muscle every other day. And typically, your entire muscle building routine can be done in about 20 minutes. Allowing a rest day in between allows your body and muscles to recover. Weight training is a big part of men’s optimal health and fitness.

Don’t have time to go to a gym? Invest in a home gym unit! I highly recommend a Bowflex home gym unit or a Total Gym. A Bowflex is ideal for maximum muscle building, while the Total Gym is ideal for toning the entire body and building modest muscle mass.

Not to mention, both are incredibly easy to use. Having a home gym in your home saves you gas and the aggravation of driving in traffic to and from the gym too!

You see guys, men’s fitness does NOT have to be tough or difficult.

So now that you have a slim, near-perfect body, where do we go from here?

FACIAL EXERCISES

To complete the best health and fitness plan for men, I highly recommend facial exercises for men. Why? Because most of the time, regular exercise and weight training won’t exactly develop chiseled facial features. While muscle building will define the chest and shoulder area, it will not target the muscles of the face and neck effectively.

What can be achieved with these exercises? How about a chiseled jaw, raised cheekbones, removal of bags under the eyes and double chin? Not to mention the burst of confidence that will come with your new look. Imagine what can result from a quick burst of newfound confidence.

The great thing about facial exercises is that the results are super fast!

They only take up about 15 minutes of your day and can be done sitting in traffic, on a plane, or pretty much anywhere! There are over 50 muscles in the face and it would be naive to think that we could not manipulate these muscles and sculpt and define them to improve facial features without plastic surgery.

So here you have it guys! The ultimate men’s health and fitness guide and men’s fitness tips all in one, simple outline!

How Flexibility Can Make You Gloriously Rich

admin

The late Gerald M. Loeb, who died in 1975, understood the value of flexibility and made a fortune applying this simple distinction.

In his book, The Battle for Investment Survival, he used a specific formula to maximize his profits and minimize his losses on the fickle stock market. Using this formula, it took advantage of the boom of the 50s and 60s and survived the market crash in 1969.

Its principles are still valid in today’s market and also in other areas of life.

This is how the formula worked:

1. Select an action to buy.

2. Make your selection on the basis of a rational investigation of the facts, expert advice, and intuitive judgment.

3. Recognize that despite your extensive action research, your future is still uncertain.

4. After you buy the shares, several things can happen:

a) The price could go down.

b) The price may rise a bit before falling.

c) The price can rise for a long time before falling.

Only one pattern is certain: sooner or later the price will go down.

5. When the price starts to drop, wait for it to drop by at least ten to fifteen percent. When you do, cut your losses. Sell ​​at the chosen percentage level. Forget waiting for the price to go up again. Sell ​​before you get hurt. Loeb’s formula, in essence, is that you must be willing to accept only small losses.

6. As long as a stock goes up, consider it a success, but as soon as it goes below a certain level let it drop like a hot potato.

In your own life, recognize that there are many situations in life that are like the stock market: they fluctuate, sometimes they seem positive, sometimes negative. The best way to deal with these events is to learn to maximize profits and minimize losses. These situations can be related to careers, relationships, projects, practically anything that has a life cycle.

Also, sometimes consistency is a virtue, sometimes it is not. Often you have to decide.

Emerson once said that a foolish consistency is the goblin of little minds. The key word here is “dumb”. Sometimes it is necessary to be consistent in order to move towards a higher level of understanding and achievement, as in, for example, a research endeavor. And sometimes you need to reevaluate a situation to see if it gets you where you really want to go, as in, for example, a career as a chemist.

Success has the ability to craft two illusions. One is the illusion of dominance. The other is the illusion of control. But life works on a different principle … the principle of change and uncertainty. Acknowledge this fact, rather than fight it. We all know stories about people or corporations, who seem to have mastered their particular discipline and who seem to be in full control of their results, then when conditions change they fall apart because they are still operating with those skills that once worked.

Flexibility, then, or adaptation to change is a fundamental principle for success. Dinosaurs weren’t flexible. Humanity has been flexible. Magnificent civilizations have flourished during their era of expansion and flexibility, but when they created inflexible rules of control and changed conditions, they collapsed. So how much more fragile is the average person living in our fast-paced world. As technology accelerates, many skills become obsolete and there is a need for flexibility to adapt to the changes to come.

Change is part of life. Learn to navigate your course in life with the winds of change. What you have invested in the past is not a sure indication of what you will need in the future.

There are mainly two reasons for making a change. One, opportunity has floated into view and you must bravely sixteen. Two, the opportunity has been missed and you need to get away before things get worse.

How do you balance flexibility with consistency? Consistency must be pursued while resources last and there is a predictable chance that things will improve.
Flexibility should be sought when you can progress further by doing something else with the resources you have.

While flexibility and consistency are opposite principles, there is a time for each, and that is why both are legitimate principles of success.

Another interesting duality closely tied to flexibility and consistency is the duality of pessimism and optimism. Although in most cases pessimism is destructive and optimism constructive, there are exceptions.

Healthy pessimism can be constructive and naive optimism can be destructive.

Healthy pessimism is accepting that things can go wrong and preparing to deal with it with solutions. Opening a savings account, for example, is one solution. In effect, you are saying, “I may not always make as much money as I do today,” or you could be saying, “I am preparing money to invest in future opportunities.” Either way, you face the future with a solution to a problem or an opportunity.

Naive optimism, using the same example about saving, is choosing not to save, because you believe that things will always flow smoothly.

Change is inherent in life. It is also something that we insert into our lives. We can choose to change. Again, this is not a simple proposition. Change, in itself, for the sake of excitement, is not always beneficial. Change brought on by boredom or restlessness is often too haphazard to be successful. In the job market, for example, it is a loss of momentum to simply jump from job to job. It is a gain of momentum if the change is intentional, if it is a movement from a lower state to a higher state, a movement towards more opportunities or more profits.

conclusion

A university professor at the University of Michigan, Dr. E. Louis Mahigel, was once a professional poker player. He said he learned valuable lessons about the flexibility of the game. “An outstanding characteristic of the successful player,” he noted, “is that he knows how and when to get out of the hand and cut his losses. Of course, he knows all the mathematical probabilities by heart, which gives him an advantage over most of the others. People rush, but their main advantage is in the area of ​​excitement. When the odds say they probably won’t win, they don’t argue; they just put their money in the pot and lay down their cards. The chronic loser isn’t emotionally equipped to do that. He is so desperate not to lose his investment that he takes wild risks to protect it. “
