Marketing VDP Services
Commercial printers are offering one-to-one marketing to help their clients boost customer retention and sales.
by Kim Crowley
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has its place in any number of industries – from healthcare, to Fortune 500 companies, to small businesses, and beyond. All of these markets have one common need – to attract new customers and to keep the ones they already have satisfied. One of the most effective ways of employing CRM is through the use of personalized communications.
Print service providers are challenged with the task of selling variable data printing (VDP) to their customers who typically print static pieces.
Marketing, communication, and promotional agency Trekk Cross-Media of Illinois experienced a significant increase in revenue from variable data projects in the past year. Creative director M.J. Anderson tells us that in 2004 VDP made up for eight percent of the company's revenue; just under 30 percent was from VDP in 2005; and he believes it will continue growing through 2006.
Why Offer One-to-One?One-to-one marketing, or communicating with personalized messages and other data, offers customers or prospects a feeling that their personal needs are being addressed. There's a connection that just can't be felt with static, boilerplate communications. "The marketing world is moving to a relevance-based and one-to-one environment—just look at Amazon.com, and the print portion of that world is no exception," notes Heidi Tolliver-Nigro, TrendWatch GA analyst.
Savvy marketers use one-to-one marketing as part of their CRM strategy to develop current customer relationships, draw in new customers, make for repeat sales, and win back prior customers. Promoting these benefits of VDP to print customers is a provider's first challenge.
Founded in 1984, CDW is a provider of technology solutions for business, government, and education. The company employs one-to-one marketing strategies to welcome their new customers and develop strong relationships.
Within the first 20 days of a new customer's purchase through CDW, customer data is fed to Illinois commercial printing company RT Associates, Inc. There, a welcome kit is produced, which includes a personalized letter, a product offer based on their purchase, a static mini catalog, and a personalized link to the CDW Web site. CDW finds that one-to-one marketing increases retention, referral rate, and customer spending, while decreasing overall marketing costs.
One-to-One Sells ItselfLast fall, the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) released the study U.S. Direct Marketing Today: Economic Impact 2005. Among its findings were a forecast for continued growth and high return on investment (ROI). Sales driven by direct marketing are forecasted to grow by 6.4 percent through 2009. DMA's report estimates that for 2005, an investment of one dollar in DM ad expenditures will return, on average, $11.49 in incremental revenue across all industries.
Bob Radzis, owner of RT Associates, Inc., notes that his company is seeing its fastest growth areas in, "Web-to print and projects like CDW's with PURLs (personalized URLs), tracking, and dashboard's. VDP generates revenue from print, data management, building AMT sites (Automated Marketing Tools our branding for Web-to-print sites). Roll all this into variable data and it amounts to 65 percent of our billing. In 2005 this work was up 40 percent over 2003 and we expect similar growth in this area for 2006."
Make It CountProfiled in a free online brochure on the power of direct-mail titled The Mail Moment, a 2005 study by The U.S. Postal Service reveals how important mail is to the daily lives of consumers. A surprisingly high 55 percent say they look forward to discovering the mail they receive, and 67 percent feel that mail is more personal than the Internet.
Mailers should be eye-catching and give recipients a reason to read them. VDP providers may need to guide creatives to make one-to-one marketing pieces count, otherwise printed pieces could wind up in the recycle bin. Service providers can also offer strong paper or finishing options to help users create pieces that stand out.
One unique option to differentiate communications beyond using just VDP, is by using an innovative multi-dimensional personalized mailer created by Digital Dimensions3, Inc. The company has received a number of patents for its personalized 3-D technology for printing. Unique mailers include fish-shaped postcards, Hot Cards that promote fiery offers on stock that looks like it has been burnt, and boxed mailers.
"If the goal is to reach target audiences with attention-grabbing messages, our one-to-one marketing tools have proven they can—cost-effectively—do the job," explains Harvey Hirsch, founder of Digital Dimensions3, Inc.
Digital Dimensions3 incorporates intricate die-cutting into all of its pieces. "By using a pre-die cut template, not only can you personalize and version the sales message or pitch, you can be in the mail in minutes instead of weeks."
Hirsch, who has a standout background as a direct marketing, business development, and sales promo specialist, reveals that, "Lumpy mail gets more attention than flat mail, generally, so packaging is very important." He adds, "Pop-ups attract 40 percent more interest level. Add versioning and personalization, and the response is even greater."
It is also important to remind VDP customers to make a substantial offer or call to action with a coupon, sweepstakes entry, or reason to respond. It should also be easy for recipients to redeem an offer, for example with a postage paid BRC card.

About The Michael's Naturopathic Programs Company Michael Schwartz, President of Michael's Naturopathic Programs, has worked in the natural food industry since 1975 as a sales rep, a retailer, teacher and naturopathic counselor and as a producer of nutritional supplements and other products. His first naturopathic formulas, designed to nourish and support the body in its natural return to harmony and good health, were created originally for family, friends and clients. These naturopathic formulas and the nearly 100 products offered today, are designed to be synergistically complete. They contain all the nutrients in the right amounts plus the proper combinations to produce optimal results. Michael also pioneered gender-specific supplements, inspired by formulas he created for his wife and children in 1987. His belief in the principles of naturopathy has led him to rule out offering anything not in the true spirit of health, such as hormone-based or glandular-containing products or fads. Michael's Naturopathic Programs uses only "tried and true" formulas based on basic principles of healing. Michael's Naturopathic Programs, established in 1984, is known for formulas based on naturopathic principles. Almost exclusively vegetarian and kosher; no artificial binders or excipients; wheat-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free always. Our products are GMP certified, non-GMO, and in many cases vegan. Organic ingredients may be used when available and reliable. We are committed to the traditional natural foods industry and its healthy longevity. Blood Pressure Factors is Michael's Naturopathic Programs #1 product and has been for over 20 years. Michael's mission statement: "Dedicated to healing the world, one person at a time by eliminating the interference of disease." What Is Naturopathy?Naturopathy traces its roots to Greek, European, and Chinese medical traditions. It shares the beliefs from these ancient cultures of an underlying life force - a force that, when nourished, allows the body to heal itself. Simply put, it is a system best described as "Following the Path of Nature". It uses traditional healing modalities found in nature from around the world. Since its inception nutrition has been the mainstay of naturopathic methods, often employing herbs as medicines. True naturopathy is a form of healing that looks at health and disease from a very different perspective and employs the basic elements of earth, water, air, sunshine and nutrients in their most natural states to achieve its goals. The underlying principle of naturopathy, "to heal in harmony with the natural functions of the body without harm," highlights its appeal. This harmony is exactly what sets it apart from conventional Western/Allopathic methods - it is also what distinguishes it from what it is often confused with, the better-known "homeopathic" medicine. While both systems share a deep commitment in treating the cause of the disease, homeopathy is a system of medicine based on the concept that "like cures like," stimulating the body into a healing responsive mode.

Pakistan & the (so called) Peace talks.
Underlining the fragile security situation, a suicide bomber on Tuesday killed eight people in a sectarian attack against minority Shiite Muslims in the northwestern city of Peshawar, just hours after the abortive start to the talks. The main TTP spokesman denied they were behind the blast but a commander for the group in Peshawar told AFP his men were responsible, saying no ceasefire had been announced – Al Jazeera.
No one can really foresee which way these talks will go, but my inner feeling is this might land present day Pakistan into more confusions. As whenever any issue has been tackled by Pakistan's so called Governments (elected or nonelected) things have landed and stayed in a confused state for years to come and at time with no end in sight. Examples are the East Pakistan (now Bangladesh issue and the Afghan Refugee issue). I worry and pity towards the welfare of a common person in Pakistan, but the leaders are busy getting richer and more and more corrupt again with humility I say that all is easily done in the name of religion and here the name is Islam. Till the time Pakistan decides whether it is an Islamic state or a secular state. The name of present day Pakistan is "Islamic republic of Pakistan" and so are the claims but Islamic thought process is hardly evident anywhere when it comes to Pakistan's elite and (often) the middle class as they proudly display what they follow in their day to day lives and i.e. western and often Indian (Hindu) way of life(which they also claim they dislike rather hate). This has created a huge gap between the working class and the middle class and of course the so called elite over the years.
In today's Pakistan and for that matter anywhere in the world what is preached and is not practiced usually makes things from bad to worse. And my country of birth i.e. Pakistan is a prime example. My heart goes out to all the hardworking, honest people of Pakistan who sleep every night hoping and praying for a better, honest, peaceful Pakistan and I assure you all that so do I - Amen.

When they did this car experiment at the roundabout the other day- was that in the early hours of the morning?
The roundabout has been the scene of some tests, including stopping traffic on Friday night while a white vehicle was driven around the roundabout and up Brookfield Rd.
I have post traumatic stress disorder and have more lows than highs I get to the stage where i never want to go outside. As it is i only go out 2 times a fortnight. Since hearing about this case it has upset me more than anything else has ever. I may not know Allison but i feel so sad about it especially tonight knowing that the funeral is tomorrow. I'm kind of in two minds about who did it though but i'm not saying anything until it's proven. I would hate to say someone did it when there really hasn't been enough information put out. I think after the funeral tomorrow i will have a couple of days break because i think it gets a bit too much sometimes. I end up having nightmares about someone i don't even know and about something i have no idea about what happened

I also agree that if there is a canoeist and the media have left that person alone, then it is for strategic reasons (e.g., working with police) rather than compassionate reasons.
Can we quit with the canoeist??? They do not normally name the people who find bodies they just say things like:
* Two teenage boys riding dirtbikes this afternoon came across............
* A jogger on his morning run found ........
* A hiker in bushland near blah blah called police after finding..........
* A canoeist, this morning, found...........
Give the canoeist a rest please........ :-)

THE little girl took her place in a sea of ballerinas, her hair tied back and her tiny feet neatly bound.
There were 200 of them - tiny dancers lined up in long rows of leotards and buns on the dusty wooden floor of a hall.
They faced off before five of the country's most prestigious teachers, hoping those five sets of eyes would pick them out of the crowd.
She was only 10, but Allison Dickie - pretty as a picture - was already as professional as a seasoned dancer. She might have been nervous, but it never showed, and she limbered up in readiness for the audition.

WASHINGTON, December 13, 2012 – Thursday night TV belongs to CBS hands down. Starting off with The Big Bang Theory and ending with Elementary, every Thursday show on CBS boasts in excess of ten million loyal viewers. Tonight NBC is airing back- to-back episodes of Up All Night, perhaps doing some classic counter-programming in an attempt to break the CBS stronghold.
I'll confess I have never watched Up All Night. Like most people, I watch the CBS line-up. But after a little Google action, I have to admit I am now more than a little intrigued by the show. The show's cast reads like a Saturday Night Live alumni party, and the show's creator, Emily Spivey, was a staff writer on SNL for nine years. That carries a lot of weight in the world of comedy, at least in my mind.
Spivey's original idea for Up All Night is based on her experience as a new and working mother while still writing for SNL. Like so many SNL alumni, Spivey has now moved on to what she hopes are greener pastures.
Up All Night has received a lot of positive reviews. Tonight, I'm going to resist the urge to record it, and instead, tune in and see what it has to offer. Who knows? It may be a really great show in a really bad time slot. Besides, I can always record the CBS line-up to view later.
Breaking news: Up All Night will take a brief filming break after December to reboot its set for a three-camera format. The new format will reportedly debut with new episodes some time in April or May 2013.

I like this necklaces
It can be a really good gift for wedding which i did it
She was very happy with the necklace.
I very nice piece that was well appreciated. Good quality and nice to look at.
Beautiful Heart
I bought 5 of these as Christmas gifts for my friends. They all liked it. The only thing I wish was different is the chain it's on. Wish it was just a little thicker.
Great necklace
Beautiful necklace. My wife loved this piece of jewelry. The chain is nice, dainty, and the perfect length. Highly recommend
Precious item.
This pendant is delicate, elegant and beautifully crafted. If you are thinking of purchasing this pendant for yourself, or as a gift, do it!
perfect for the big hearted people in your life!
Beautiful! This is the second one of these that I purchased as a gift! The notion of "open heart" or "hearts entwined" is lovely -- this is a PERFECT gift for the big hearted and beloved people in your life.
Nice necklace, poor shipping.
The necklace was very nice and was as described. However, the promised Mother's Day delivery did not happen (even though it was ordered in more than enough time). So, even though the necklace was lovely, it was very upsetting and embarrassing that it did not arrive by the date promised. I must say, this is the first time Blue Nile has disappointed me with shipping.
Great Value without losing in quality.
This was a gift for my mother on Mother's Day, she loved it. She especially liked the brushed part of the heart. Excellent price,Thank you.
The necklace is very beautiful and sparkly for a good price. I wear it a lot and get tons of compliments
Very nice pendant for your sweetheart!!
Got this for my Valentine...she loved it! It is excellent quality and looks great on her! It's not obvious in the photo, but the front half of the heart is a "brushed" effect and the rest of it is polished.

The ADM1293 and ADM1294 are high accuracy integrated digital power monitors that offer digital current, voltage, and power monitoring using an on-chip, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), communicated through a PMBus™ compliant I2C interface.
These devices acquire the current by measuring the voltage difference across the external sense resistor. This voltage is amplified and digitized by an internal 12-bit ADC. The same ADC can also sample the primary input voltage and an auxiliary input voltage. The internal digital block can perform multiplication of the current and primary input voltage for power calculation. The ADM1293/ADM1294 also feature a power accumulator for energy metering. An industry-standard PMBus interface allows a master controller to read back these data from the device. The master controller can then combine this information with a known sense resistor value to calculate the current, voltage, power, and energy consumption over time on the monitored rail.
In conditions such as overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, and overpower, the ADM1293/ADM1294 devices can generate an interrupt signal to the microprocessor through the GPOx/ALERTx outputs. The threshold for these conditions is digitally programmed via PMBus.
The ADM1293 is designed for high-side supply monitoring with a voltage monitoring range from 0 V to 20 V. The ADM1294 is designed for low-side supply monitoring. Its integrated shunt regulator allows it to be powered and to monitor supply in wide voltage ranges.
The ADM1293/ADM1294 are available in 4 mm × 4 mm 16-lead LFCSP and 14-lead TSSOP packages with a specified operating ambient temperature range from -40°C to +105°C for the ADM1293 and an operating junction temperature range from -40°C to +105°C for the ADM1294.

Find your red lipstick
photograph by yogen shahA bright scarlet mouth first caught the fancy of men and women around the world in the '50s, courtesy of the celebrated screen icon Marilyn Monroe. Her makeup artist apparently used five layers of the shade to get that perfect pout. Referred to as the colour of passion, danger and rebellion, in the past, red hue has had a tumultuous relationship with beauty and fashion. Now, the red lipstick is a makeup staple. The right shade of red for you might seem elusive. Here are a few pointers that will help you choose:
For lighter skin tones: If you have a pale complexion, a red with coral undertones work the best on you. They add a pop of colour without overpowering. If you're the experimenting kind and decide to go for ruby red—make sure to combine it with nicely kohled eyes to balance it out.
For wheatish skin tones: From true reds to pink-cranberry shades, all work well on skin that has golden undertones. Pop and tomato reds also look gorgeous on a wheatish complexion.
For dusky skin tones: Those with a dusky skin tone should avoid bright reds and stick to deep rich reds like those with burgundy and warm brick tints.
TIP: If you still are dissatisfied with the red, combine a few tones that work well for your skin tone and you may just hit the jackpot!

The road to becoming a professional musician
The School of Rock and Pop has been educating professional musicians in the area of rock / pop and jazz for more than 20 years.
Before a band can finally make it on stage, there's always the same problem: find the right band members, set up rehearsal rooms, compose songs, write lyrics, arrange own songs or cover versions … This is where the rock-pop school of SRF comes into play! With us, musicians can focus under professional and creative guidance on the real thing: making music. Whether classic blues or rock, whether soul, funk, heavy metal, hip hop or mainstream – the School of Rock fits each and every one into the right band.
We offer:
- a band-oriented practice teaching program: Song material for easy entry, instruction on how to implement their own musical ideas, tips for the stage presentation, etc.
- Instrumental and vocal lessons, individually and in small groups, to songs that are rehearsed in the bands
- Pop-analysis: rock pop history and music theory basics give the sense of style and expand the musical background
- at least once a year, a workshop with a "celebrity " from the music business
- different ways to perform live
- band rooms with amplifiers, drums, piano or keyboard
- a recording studio with digital recording system
Rooms for all cases
On our premises, we offer opportunities for professional work with a band. In addition to sample spaces for the participating bands where you can practice your sound at ease, we also offer rooms for lessons on the instrument.
In our auditorium, workshops and smaller concerts are held during the teaching year. The auditorium is adjoined to the recording studio. Direct live recordings are possible.
Coffee or tea and small snacks are available in the cafeteria and at the concerts.
Our studio gives you have the possibility to record your songs in a professional environment. You get to work in the environment of an actual recording studio, and will learn to give your recordings a professional sound. The studio allows to take live recordings from the auditorium or the great hall.
You will have your final concerts in the great hall. This is one way to stand on one of the great stages of the world.
The School of Film
The Film School is aimed at aspiring filmmakers of all kinds. We are here to apply our proven learning methods to the young students to accompany them in the beginning of their careers. The Film School hires committed filmmakers and experts from the film industry, who work with the students in seminars and workshops in an active film studio. We place great emphasis on work-based learning to prepare our students for their future work.
Practical learning: Experienced faculty and professional editors accompany our students on the way, guide them to write their own short films, to produce, direct, and to cut. Personally tailored seminars in small groups and some individual lessons, as well as numerous screenplays and directed exercises are becoming commonplace.
Preparation for the job: Of course it is our goal to prepare our students to produce commercially successful films. At the same time we want to convey, to a large extent, the knowledge of the film industry and make our students familiar with all professional fields within the complex digital world.
Tailor-made courses: It's important to us that our students show passion, talent and determination. Whether you have just completed your school and are looking for a comprehensive two-year coursework, or if you already have a university degree and want to expand your academic experience, or whether you are already working and want to change your career: We offer a variety of full-time, part-time and weekend courses , which suit all needs.

Arif (2009) Isolation and characterization of a Pseudomonas diesel-degrading strain from Antarctica. Journal of Environmental Biology, 30 (1). pp. 1-6. ISSN 0254-8704
Full text not available from this repository.
A diesel-degrading bacterium from Antarctica has been isolated. The isolate was tentatively identified as Pseudomonas sp. strain DRYJ3 based on partial 16SrDNA molecular phylogeny and Biolog® GN microplate panels and Microlog® database. Growth on diesel was supported optimally by ammonium sulphate, nitrate and nitrite. The bacterium grew optimally in between 10 and 15°C, pH 7.0 and 3.5% (v/v) diesel. The biodegradation of diesel oil by the strain increased in efficiency from the second to the sixth day of incubation from 1.4 to 18.8% before levelling off on the eighth day n-alkane oxidizing and aldehyde reductase activities were detected in the crude enzyme preparation suggesting the existence of terminal n-alkane oxidizing activity in this bacterium.

How can I go deeper in my faith this Lent season?
February 4, 2010 by Dan Burke
Filed under Dan Burke, Lent, Seasonal Meditations
I recently had the opportunity to speak to a great group of men at parish here in Colorado about my conversion to the Catholic faith. One of the things I shared was the unusual amount of personal suffering I have experienced. The short list of loss includes a brother and sister in their thirties and a niece at two years old. At a young age I have lived the difficult reality that life, for any of us, can end at any moment. Faced with this understanding, there really is no better time than the present to ensure that when we see God face to face he says, "well done" rather than "depart from me, I never knew you." The latter is a terrifying thought, the former, a glorious one.
At the end of the talk, one of the men asked, "How would you advise someone who is ready to go deeper in their faith?" Here's the "Going Deeper" plan for anyone looking to better prepare their hearts for this upcoming holy season:
1) Get a copy of "Inside the Passion" by Father John Bartunek and commit to reading a portion of it every day during Lent (starting Ash Wednesday, February the 17th) with a finish date of Tuesday the 1st of April – the day before Good Friday. If you finish this ahead of time, commit to one decade of the Sorrowful Mysteries on a daily basis or pray through the Stations of the Cross each day. A great way to do the latter is through the "Passion Companion" which also leverages the artwork of the film to held us better experience the Stations of the Cross devotion.
2) Commit to praying for five minutes (or add five minutes if you already pray) on a daily basis using any prayer that appeals to you (i.e. Our Father, Rosary, etc). Ask God to reveal himself more fully to you, just as the father of the sick boy in Matthew 9:24 asked Jesus, "…I do believe Lord, please help my unbelief."
3) Watch the "The Passion of the Christ" on Good Friday. Be careful to watch it devotionally instead of from the standpoint of entertainment. Watch it at night just before you go to bed. Don't pop any popcorn and keep the chips in the pantry. Prepare your heart and enter into the film. Pray that Christ would reveal himself to you. Engage with Christ as he gives his life up for you. Ask Him, "how can I give back to you in return for such an overwhelming gift?"
After Lent, use that same prayer habit you developed during lent (or further developed) and learn to know Christ more deeply. Pick up a copy of Father John's book, "The Better Part." Learn to meditate on the incredible person and work of Christ on a daily basis.
You will never regret your investment in your eternal destiny, and you will never be the same.
Seek Him – Find Him – Follow Him

Kerala Beach Resorts
Kerala beach is a enjoy tour in India. Kerala is an extraordinary state of India which has been exceptionally sanctified with nature's bounty. Kerala has been exceptionally rich in natural resources and it seems that it has been blessed with god therefore it has been given a name - God's Own Country. With nature's opulence Kerala stands as one of the top destinations and has mentioned in the top 20 destinations of the world. Nature resides in the enchanting state with almost all of its distinctive forms like hills, waterfalls, plantations, gardens, lakes etc. To my thinking the state only lacks snow. Kerala has been described as one of the most beautiful states of India which bestows the best creations of nature on its visitors. With a lovely setting Kerala has acquired the most exclusive natural wonder - the Backwaters as a boon.
Besides the backwater Kerala is known for housing a 600 km shoreline and most of us know that the setting of Kerala is such that it has been blessed with the most beautiful beaches of South India. The beaches are exclusively known for its silver sand shining bright under the closest star to earth. The beauty of these beaches are beyond description but still to give you some glimpses we are mentioning some of the best beaches of this God's Own Country.
Kovalam beach: is among the best beaches in Kerala with holding a bewitching landscape of the azure sea, silver sand and shinning sun with swaying palms and coconut trees as embellishments. It is a combination of three semi-circular beaches that have some rocky terrain in between which divide these beaches into three. The first of which is the light house beach which is the largest of the three. The other two beaches are the Hawa beach and the Samudra beach. This collection of beach is a perfect place for beach lovers as they'll be able to see three consecutive beaches at one go. The place is well known for providing the tourists with amazing water sports and water activities, herbal body toning massages, cultural programs etc.
Varkala beach: is the second famous beach of Kerala which is not only bestow a fantastic view but is also offers amazing activities on shore. The place has the best sea side resort and nature care centre. The spa here is also first rated. Besides the natural landscape and fun filled water activities this beach houses a temple named as Sree Janardhan Swamy Temple that dates back to 2000 years. This panoramic destination is best for tourists who want to spend their vacations in a tranquil and isolated place.
Cherai beach: another attractive destination of Kerala offering breathtaking views and a landscape that mesmerizes every visitor. The beach has an exceptional setting via which one can endure the charm of the beach as well as the magnificence of the backwaters too. The backwaters enhance the beauty of this place. You can find captivating fishing nets on the shore and locals indulging in their daily tasks.
Beypore, Shanghumukham, Alappuzha, Ezhimala, Fort Kochi, Bekal, Dharmadam Island and Kappad are some other beaches which decorate the terrain of this enchanting state.

The New Year is almost here. Its time to look back at how the past year went, & plan your goals for next year! Is weight loss or fitness one of those goals? Did you make a weight loss resolution at the beginning of the past year? Did you achieve it…
Previously, we told you why most weight loss resolutions for the New Year don't work. Here, we tell you how you can lose weight this coming year with the right weight loss goals. Don't get on any crazy diets. Stick to a realistic diet plan. Add good foods to your diet (eg: green tea, almonds) and get some exercise. Before you know, the pounds will be melting away!
So, here are Fitho's top 10 Weight Loss resolutions for 2010:
Lose 2 kgs: We know you want to lose 10 kgs, and get that celebrity body, but lets start with small steps. Let's first target a weight loss of 2 kgs per month. This is the healthy rate for weight loss. For each month, target this weight loss, and track it. If losing 20 kg of weight is your goal, then in 10 months, you'll be there. That's much before the year ends!
Eat 1-2 fruits per day: Fruits are one of the best sources of carbohydrates for the body, along with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They taste great, and have a low glycemic index. Then, what's stopping you from eating more. Most people don't even eat one fruit per day. Start by targeting to eat 2 fruits per day. One with breakfast, one in the evening. That's not too hard, is it?
Eat breakfast: Eat a healthy breakfast. Have eggs, milk, fruits, multigrain bread. We don't recommend corn flakes, but eating them is better than skipping breakfast. Studies have shown that eating breakfast helps you avoid weight gain, than skipping it. Read about other eating habits to lose weight.
Drink less alcohol: Yes, sure drinking alcohol makes you feel like a rockstar, but you'll be far from looking like one, if you keep drinking it. Besides, having a crap load of empty calories (list of high calorie alcoholic drinks), it also promote fat storage in the body. Excessive consumption of alcohol leads to hormonal imbalance and side effects. Eliminating alcohol completely is hard, so stick to only 2-3 drinks per week. Here is list of low calorie alcoholic drinks.
Get protein: Indian diets are very high on starchy carbohydrates. Wheat, rice, potatoes and other starchy foods dominate the Indian diet. Replace some of those carbs with protein, to help you build muscle and increase your metabolic rate. Here are some great sources of protein: whey protein, chicken, fish, eggs & vegetarian protein sources.
Workout: Yes, the dreaded one- exercise! Join the gym or get a weight loss plan. Paying for it, is one of the best ways to ensure that you stick to it. Don't target to workout 6 times a week. For the first month, target to workout just 2 times a week. First make working out a part of your routine, then increase the frequency. If you hate working out, then join a class- power yoga, spinning, aerobics, kickboxing … Or play a sport to burn calories.
Go for a walk: If you are not doing any exercise currently, start with a walk. Jogging is better than walking, but its important to start with some exercise.
Desserts: Skip it, or share if you can't skip. Desserts like chocolate cake, are loaded with calories from sugar and saturated fat. Besides the calories, read how sugar makes you store fat.
Try this simple healthy dessert recipe – give you 1 serving of fruit (bananas are good for weight loss) & unsaturated fat, that's good for your heart. And see this list of the healthiest & unhealthiest Indian desserts & sweets.
Reduce processed foods: You've heard it before. Eat less processed foods. Avoid white bread, biscuits, juices, chips, etc … the list can go on. Easy to say, hard to do. So, to start, pick one processed food in your diet and eliminate that. Let's show you how the numbers work: One slice of white bread is about 80-100 calories. Reducing those 2 slices of white bread a day over a year, equals a calorie reduction equivalent to a weight loss of almost 9-10 kgs!
10 minutes: Too busy to join the gym or go for a walk? If nothing else, do some light exercises at home, or in the park. Skipping is one of the best calorie burning exercises. Got some stairs around you? Climbing stairs as exercise to build muscle tone and incinerate fat. Try some pushups, squats to increase your metabolic rate. Both men and women can perform them easily.
Goals are great, but without the right plans, they're hard to achieve.- Articles, data, text, image or video content posted on this site is checked by the Fitho team of nutritionists & fitness experts, or by research/studies, and opinions are based on our wide experience in helping thousands of people get fit, lose weight & manage their health.

Daniel Loeb's Best Picks for 2011
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage. The opinions expressed are those of the author and do not represent the views of TheStreet or its management.
NEW YORK ( Insider Monkey) - Third Point's Daniel Loeb is one of the most successful hedge fund managers of 2010.
Third Point's flagship fund returned 41.7% in 2010. NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) returned 54% between Sept. 30 and Dec. 9, when Dan Loeb penned his third quarter investor letter. Daniel Loeb was extremely bullish about NXP Semiconductors in his letter. This is what he said:
"In August, we participated in the IPO of NXP Semiconductors NV, a leading semiconductor manufacturer emerging from a 2006 LBO led by KKR, Silver Lake, Bain and Apax. We had successfully participated in the NXP story via its distressed debt in late 2009, and were prepared for the IPO, which came at a very attractive valuation of roughly 5.5x estimated 2011 EPS." The company is in the final stages of completing a substantial operational and capital structure restructuring, which is driving strong free cash flow, rapid deleveraging and attractive new opportunities like a leadership position (>50% market share) in Near Field Communications, a fast emerging mobile payment technology being adopted by Google Android, Nokia and Blackberry. Despite a strong recent run in the shares, limited familiarity and misconceptions leave it trading at a 50% discount to peer P/E and FCF multiples and lagging the performance of other comparably levered, post]LBO IPOs such as Sensata and Avago. As NXP's growth, profitability and cash flow attributes (it will generate close to $3 in 2011 FCF) become better understood, we see substantial upside in the name." Since Dec. 9, NXP returned an additional 42%, whereas Sensata (ST) returned 10% and Avago (AVGO) returned 12%. Outsiders monkeying Dan Loeb's strong endorsement would have beaten the benchmark securities and the market by more than 30 percentage points. One shouldn't think that Dan Loeb is doing a public service by endorsing these stocks. At the end of November, NXPI's market price was $12.58 with an average daily transaction volume of 220,000 shares during the previous 20 trading days. The stock price climbed to $18.44 by Dec. 8, with an average trading volume of 728,000 shares during the first six trading days of December. You don't need to be a genius to predict who was buying those shares days before Dan Loeb's letter to his investors.

Receiving unwanted items
Posted by
COLUMBUS, OHIO -- Don't ever sign up for any Book Clubs on line. The club might say "Book of the Month" club but in reality it is books of the month. I signed up thinking the most they would send me would be one book per month but no, they send as many as they think that you can afford. They tell you that you can refuse a book offering and that once you have met the requirements you can bow out of the "club". This is not true. The web site does not have a place to refuse. I also had problems in logging on to my account. My e-mail address didn't match what they had on file. Strange considering they e-mailed me the offerings each month and I pulled up their site from that e-mail. I received books I didn't request and didn't choose and now am being billed for them. Oh, and "Doubleday" book club and "Book of the Month" are the same company. That is another trick that they pull. I will probably have to pay for these items I didn't request, have no interest in and will never read. Don't sign up for any book clubs. They are not what you think they are going to be.

If I were you, I would refuse delivery of these unwanted books.
If they are just left in your mailbox, I would take them UNOPENED to the local post office and tell them that you want the box marked "Return to Sender".
I would then write a CERTIFIED LETTER to the Book of the Month Club telling them that you are unhappy with their service and you wish to quit their "club".
REMEMBER: Postal Regulations say that you don't have to pay for anything that you didn't order!
Noneill on 02/16/2007:
You have to read the club rules. There is a selection of books each month. If you don't want them you have to refuse them. This is generally done by mail, but maybe they do this by email. If you don't send the refusal in on time, it is assumed that you want them all. At that point you take the shipment back to the post office unopened and eventually your account will get the credit. This is not a new or unusual business. They are counting on people not refusing on time. Like you.

MSNBC Host: Your Kids Belong to the Collective
Kurt Nimmo
In the video below, college professor and MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry says your children are not yours -- they are owned by the community. She says public education has failed because we have not allowed the state to confiscate more of our money.
"We have to break through our private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families," says the professor of political science at Tulane University, where she is founding director of the Anna Julia Cooper Project on Gender, Race, and Politics in the South. Kids belong to whole communities, she insists, and once we realize this we'll make "better investments" in government indoctrination of children.
Melissa Harris-Perry is regurgitating the Obama "you didn't build that" meme. "If you've got a business, you didn't build that," Obama said during a campaign stop in Roanoke, Virginia. "Somebody else made that happen," it was not the result of individual initiative. "The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet."
"Like most people of his ideological bent, Obama either cannot or will not distinguish between society -- which is created through peaceful commerce and other forms of private cooperation -- and the state -- an anti-social artifact built on conquest, coercion, and confiscation of wealth," writes
William Grigg
. "Government produces nothing; it is an exercise in pure consumption and, usually, the destruction of capital. As Nietzsche famously said, everything the State has is stolen."
Stephan Kinsella
argues that the primary social evil today is a lack of respect for the fundamental right of self-ownership. Obama and Harris-Perry represent the other side of this argument. They believe, as do all Marxists and socialists, that the state, what Harris-Perry calls the "community," owns the individual.
Harris-Perry urges us to "break through" the "private idea" that individuals own themselves. Like Marx, she believes the individual is a
"communal being"
and all human worth is intractably linked to the community, the collective, and the state is the ultimate manifestation of the collective will.
Harris-Perry's homage to the state was part of a two-year long, multi-million dollar
advertising campaign by MSNBC
. The network, created through a merger between Microsoft and the death merchant General Electric, has long provided ideological fodder for president Obama, the proud Marxist (as Yuri Maltsev, former advisor to Mikhail Gorbachev, characterized him). "We can go backward, or we can keep moving forward," he said during a speech at Carnegie Mellon University. "And I don't know about you, but I want to move forward."
It's no mistake Obama's handlers and MSNBC adopted the slogan. The word "forward" has a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It was frequently used as a name for socialist and communist newspapers and periodicals in the 20th century. "The slogan 'Forward!' reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism," writes
Victor Morton
It seems incomprehensible that a multinational corporation like MSNBC would embrace communism. In fact, as Gary Allen noted, it is quite natural.
"If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of superrich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all," he wrote. "Instead it becomes the logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite."

Bachelor of Science in Midwifery consists of:
54 quarter credit hours in Midwifery Core Courses

4-6 quarter credit hours in Elective Courses (3 courses or a minimum of 4 quarter credit hours)
30 quarter credit hours in Clinical Training Credit
45 quarter credit hours General Education
189-191 quarter credit hours of coursework
To graduate with a Birthingway Bachelor of Science in Midwifery, you must meet all the graduation requirements for the Certificate in Midwifery, as well as additional General Education requirements.
General Education Requirements
An official transcript from an approved college must be submitted to document the following coursework in the Liberal Arts and Sciences, with a grade of at least C/2.0. The Midwifery Program Coordinator reviews the transcripts for appropriate transferable courses.
- 9 quarter credit hours of English composition
- 9 quarter credit hours of Humanities: language, literature, philosophy, religious thought, fine arts (not emphasizing performance skills)
- 9 quarter credit hours of Social Studies or Sciences: anthropology, cultural geography, general history, religious history and culture, economics, political science, general psychology, sociology

Also excluded are artistic performance or physical activity courses, nor practical and general information courses such as personal health, career planning, human relations, public speaking, writing, elementary mathematics, and computer fundamentals.
Length of the Midwifery Program
There is no time limit to complete the midwifery program, although your matriculation catalog and course credits may expire. Please see our Student Handbook for more details. Students must be continuously registered as a core or extension student from the date of matriculation to completion. The classroom portion of the program is designed to be completed in three years, by registering for the core, supplemental, and elective courses in the recommended sequence.
Clinical hours are acquired in a hands-on clinical training under the direction of an approved preceptor. Birthingway recommends that students begin clinical trainings in the first term of the second year. Students who begin clinical training at that time, register for clinical training credit, and attend an average of two births per month, would be able to complete their clinical training requirement within the three year time frame.
While designed to be complete in three years, most students take longer to complete the midwifery program. Birthingway's program is flexible, allowing students to individualize their educational path and take as long as necessary to graduate. The length of time it takes to complete depends on many factors including:
- whether the student attends full time or less;
- the size and availability of the type of midwifery practice desired as a preceptor site;
- personal life events, such as having a baby, getting married, etc.
