The Robo Pope

Many spas and salons offer a process called “body wrapping.”

This procedure claims to remove inches from the waist, thighs, hips or other parts of the body.

The process includes the use of special wraps or clothing and can sometimes be used with special lotions or creams that are applied to the skin.

Customers are usually told that they can lose “inches” as opposed to pounds and that fat will melt away bringing about a loss of inches in about an hour. One of the claims is that wrapping will work because cellulite is “water logged fatty tissue.”

What overweight person wouldn’t love to find a product that will render them slim and trim while they sleep?

Unfortunately, many people think that body wrapping is a relatively new procedure and jump on the bandwagon quickly. The truth is that the body wrapping craze has been around for some time.

What do these wraps consist of?

Some are plastic or rubber garments worn around the waist, some cover the waist, hips and thighs, and others cover nearly the entire body.

Some are to be worn while carrying out routine activities, others while exercising, and some while sleeping.

One is inflated with air from a vacuum cleaner. Another uses an electric hair dryer to blow in warm air. Some are used after a cream, gel or lotion is applied or after the wrap is soaked in a solution.

The garments and wraps, with or without lotions and creams, say that they reduce body dimensions by removing fluids.

Most medical experts agree that such treatment will cause a loss of inches and perhaps pounds due to profuse perspiration. But the reductions are temporary. The fluid is soon replaced by drinking or eating.

It is important to remember, rapid and excessive fluid loss is potentially dangerous because it can bring on severe dehydration and can upset the balance of important electrolytes in the body.

Reputable spas are aware of any potential hazards such as this, so do your homework and select a spa with a good reputation.
Some people have tried using “plastic wrap” as body wrap material. In fact, that was a very popular practice several decades ago.

Body wrapping has evolved since those days, becoming much more sophisticated. Prices for a body wrap range anywhere from $40 an hour up to as much as several thousand dollars at some of the upscale spas.

Some advertising claims that body wrapping will eliminate, or at the least reduce, cellulite but I’ll leave that up to you to determine.

What I can tell you is that visiting a spa or salon for body wrapping may be a wonderfully rejuvenating experience, leaving you rested, relaxed and refreshed.

And who wouldn’t like to have a few hours being pampered and fussed over in a relaxing environment if it will help the cellulite problem.

Some spas advertise herbal and other natural wraps. In fact, the methods and products applied are widely varied. Let’s explore some of the components that make up a good “wrap” experience.

Herbal wraps. Some of the higher end spas go so far as to grow their own “herbs” for use in their body wraps, but that isn’t necessary for a good body wrap experience. Herbs can be fresh, or dried and usually organically grown is best.

Each herb has a specific effect. Some increase circulation; another may soothe the skin and so on.

The herbs are steeped in very hot water (almost boiling) then special muslin sheets are soaked in the solution. It is these herb-infused sheets along with other insulating layers that wrap around the body.

How the treatments work is interesting. The goal is to create a condition not unlike your body when you have a fever. When we have a fever, our body eliminates toxins by sweating.

It’s the same principle with body wraps. The results vary. Some people report a very intense detoxification while for others it might be mild.

Methods of application and content vary as well. Seaweed, mud and salt are popular body wraps. Most often, the subject is wrapped from neck to toe with the arms set close to the sides of the body. This can be uncomfortable for someone who suffers from claustrophobia.

The easiest correction for this is to keep the arms free from the wrap. Most people who are claustrophobic find the works and that all they need to be able to feel free to remove themselves if they choose.

Whatever type of body wrap you select make certain that you feel comfortable with the spa and that a technician is always close at hand. Care should be taken when selecting a salon or spa.

Some things to consider:

How long have they been offering body wraps?

Do they have a licensed clinician whose sole purpose is massage and/or body wraps?

Where do their herbs and other contents come from? Do they offer any special pricing for new clients?

Will they allow a tour of their facilities prior to purchase?

Have they had any unresolved complaints reported by the Better Business Bureau? Do they have any package pricing for multiple visits?

Watch your local publications for coupon offers. This can be a good way to try out a service at a bargain.

Ask your friends if they have had a body wrapping experience and whether they enjoyed it and what kind of results did they experience. You may even want to check for “two for one” specials and try it out with a friend!

Whether the experience reduces your cellulite or not, if you follow the guidelines you are in for a pleasant experience.

Who knows, you might just like it enough to include it in your long term personal care budget!

Sprott Asset Management uranium expert Kevin Bambrough talked with us about the “second leg” of the current uranium bull market. He sees a massive nuclear build up heading our way with “the environmentalists leading the charge.” He said many price projections may be inaccurate because “people are underestimating future demand.”

StockInterview: Price forecasts on spot uranium are widening. Some insiders have predicted uranium prices may drop back into the $30/pound range; others, such as yourself, continue to suggest $50/pound or higher. Any comments on the forecasts others are making?

Kevin Bambrough:
There are many people forecasting uranium prices now. It’s important to consider their track record of forecasting prices. Look at the contracts that have been written by many companies in the industry, over the last number of years. Anyone who had ceilings, or had signed fixed-priced contracts, has been punished. Very few people in the industry predicted what has happened. Looking forward, I think that in our view, the cost of production of current producers isn’t going to be as relevant as it has been in the past. It will be the more marginal, much higher cost producers who will be setting the price.

StockInterview: Isn’t there a sense of false optimism that “projects in the pipeline” will ensure an ongoing stream of uranium oxide for the nuclear fuel cycle?

Kevin Bambrough:
There are a lot of people looking at the supply situation going forward while underestimating future demand. They are very optimistic that mining projects are going to go as planned. We had recent news that Cigar Lake had a problem. There was a flood the. There’s a couple million pounds shortfall to most people’s models for at least two years. All because of one mine’s six month delay.

StockInterview: Would that have the kind of impact the McArthur flooding (Athabasca Basin, Cameco) had on the spot uranium price a few years ago?

Kevin Bambrough:
I think it could. It was forecast to go up to 18 million pounds of production. That would have been ten percent of the world’s current consumption. Cigar Lake would need to ramp up over a three year period, once it gets started. Now, there is a six month delay. What if it’s delayed a year? That really changes the production profile for the next decade. There are many projects that could see delays. The mining business is always full of delays. Remember that when we bring on new nuclear plants, they take on average about 1.6 million lbs when commissioning. What will happen, if in a decade, we bring on just 10 or 20 reactors each year? That’s another 16 to 30 million pounds per year of demand just because of the start up.
StockInterview: Does this mean the current uranium bull market still has strong legs?

Kevin Bambrough:
I think we’re entering the second leg of the bull market here. It is going to move away from a supply shortage story, where we focus on the fact that we only get about 60 percent of the current consumption from mines, while the inventories are being worked off. Now, we’re moving into a situation where we’re seeing an explosion in demand growth. Just a couple of years ago when we first started investing in uranium, we could see probably about a dozen nuclear facilities being planned for construction throughout the world. Now we’ve got well over 100 being planned. It seems there are new additions and talk of more additions every day.

StockInterview: How you envision this nuclear buildup rolling out?

Kevin Bambrough:
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think, looking ten to twenty years out, there are going to be a lot of countries that will be trying to get in the position that France is in, with a much higher percentage of their power coming from nuclear generation. We could see a move to where maybe 50 percent of global energy production or more could eventually be supplied by nuclear. There is nothing else that can really step up and fill the void and take care of this problem that we’re having. France produces 78 percent of their electricity from nuclear. Why isn’t that reasonable for others? Look out a decade or two, and it doesn’t appear like we’re going to have the oil and the gas in order to handle our needs. Obviously we can do more with coal, but if we’re going to keep using coal we’ve got to put in place technology to take care of the carbon dioxide sequestration. If you want to have a stable, secure supply of electricity, it seems that you’re going to have to go with more nuclear or eventually with these new coal technologies. I think there is going to have to be a balance of both, because the oil and gas just isn’t going to be there.

StockInterview: What do you think is the catalyst for this anticipated growth in nuclear energy demand?

Kevin Bambrough:
The most interesting thing is the fact that some environmentalists are leading the charge to go more nuclear. It’s because they realize nuclear energy is the only practical alternative and because of the situation with the carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. There have been some recent reports about CO2 levels reaching 381 parts per billion, just spiking out of the range that has kept the world in a relatively stabile environment for the last 400,000 years. If you look at the work of people like James Hanson, the correlation between CO2 levels and temperature is undeniable. Basically, mankind has increased the CO2 levels beyond a level that hasn’t been seen in over a million years. We are just starting to see the weather impacts. There are problems with droughts across the world as well as elevated hurricane activity. Going nuclear on a mass scale is starting to become recognized as one of the only ways to have a real impact. I think what we’re going to see is an unprecedented build out in nuclear capacity throughout the world in the coming years and decades. I’d equate this to what happened when we went from using oil for just lamps and home heating to using it as a transportation fuel. What’s going to happen with the people who have the higher quality uranium reserves and lower cost production? They are going to be able to reap massive profits over the coming decades.

StockInterview: Looking ahead, do you think we’ll see more deals between a small uranium producer, such as Uranium Resources (OTC BB: URRE) and the Japanese multi-national conglomerate, Itochu Corporation?

Kevin Bambrough:
I have no doubt that it’s going to continue to happen. More importantly, I’ve heard that some of the major builders of nuclear facilities around the world, companies such as Areva are quite concerned about the availability of supply going forward. When these companies are talking to countries and utilities that potentially could contract to build nuclear facilities, they’re basically being told that buyers want uranium supply assurances, or they aren’t going to give an order to buy a nuclear facility. I’ve heard they are looking to do joint ventures or at least contract with emerging producers to try to get future supply. Then, they will be able sell their nuclear technology to countries and ensure supply.

StockInterview: Will the Chinese be satisfied with the uranium they plan to buy from Australia, or will they have to tap into uranium production from another or other countries?

Kevin Bambrough:
I think that the Chinese will probably look elsewhere as well. Countries have strategic oil reserves. Why shouldn’t they have strategic uranium reserves to supply their nuclear reactors? It makes sense to have a good stockpile of uranium considering the relative cost of nuclear power versus anything else. I don’t think that the nuclear power industry should operate on a just in time basis, considering the costs and the risks of making sure you can secure supply. Don’t get me wrong. There is plenty of uranium in the world, but we’re just going to have to pay up for it. I believe we’re going to consume lot more than what we’re consuming nowadays - a decade or two out. The world is waking up to the reality of peak oil production, and how it is going to affect all aspects of energy production.

StockInterview: How much of a factor will Russia play in the nuclear build up?

Kevin Bambrough:
Looking at some of the recent statements made by Russian officials, it’s completely clear to me that we’ve been correct in what we’ve been thinking for a long time: the HEU agreement (to deliver highly enriched uranium and have it blended down) is probably not going to be renewed. The Russians are planning to make nuclear technology a key export for them, really as a value added product to go with uranium production. They desire to be able to offer a complete solution, not just uranium, but the actual building and technology around the nuclear facilities themselves. They will also have growing uranium demands domestically and have voiced concern about being able to meet their own needs beyond 2015.

StockInterview: But nuclear energy critics claim all of these power plants won’t secure financing and most plans are just pipe dreams never to be built.

Kevin Bambrough:
Two years ago, the critics said there would never be any more nuclear plants built in the U.S. People used to say nuclear was over for Germany, and that many countries would exit nuclear power. Now we’re seeing the exact opposite. We’re seeing proposals being done, incentives put in place, and a multitude of projects moving ahead. If what the leading scientists from NASA, the NOAA and from many organizations around the world are saying about global warming, and the acceleration we’ve recently seen continues, people are going to be begging to have more nuclear facilities and cut CO2 emissions. The environmentalists will be leading the charge.

StockInterview: How long will it take before the proposed nuclear build up impacts the uranium mining companies?

Kevin Bambrough:
The actual build of all this takes time. I think the increase in the positive perception, of the nuclear industry is going to continue to accelerate. All demand for uranium can come from just the planning stage for nuclear power plants, as companies look forward and try to contract future supply. Ultimately, that’s what will keep driving the uranium price higher.

StockInterview: How seriously is the nuclear industry taking the global build up?

Kevin Bambrough:
I think the industry is starting to take it very seriously. That’s why the uranium price keeps pushing higher. People are going around trying to contract for uranium, and they are finding it more difficult. People are also starting to realize that as you have problems, such as the McArthur River flooding, which got the uranium bull market jump started, and now a problem at Cigar Lake, you really should have a good build up of inventory in order to protect yourself in this environment. Especially when the relative cost of having to switch off a nuclear facility to go to something else in a pinch is multiples higher.

These days the best long distance rates are not found with your home carrier. There’s too much competition in the marketplace and many people are discovering that a prepaid card can actually save them money. A coalition of long-distance phone companies has developed a package of reforms that will be implemented as soon as the Federal Communications Commission approves them.

Ultimately, these changes will increase competition in the telephone marketplace, which will cut costs even further.

Although technology has allowed phone companies to trim personnel even as call volume surged, reductions in access rates have made the most difference.

In looking for the best long distance rates most people realize that there aren’t massive savings when switching from long-distance provider to long-distance provider, but the prepaid market has definitely cut long distance costs.

There’s never been a better time to make long-distance calls.

Many carriers are offering competitive long-distance service, and rates have fallen by some 85 percent in the past 15 years. Nonetheless, it pays to shop around; the more cautious you are as a consumer, the better the choice you’ll finally make.

You may think it is, but your resume isn’t really about you at all.

In fact, you aren’t even the subject of the document.

Sure, without you there wouldn’t BE at a resume, but that’s not the point. Anybody reading your resume doesn’t want it to be about the “you” that is in good health, or the “you” that has hobbies and interests outside work, or the “you” that likes movies and traveling.

It’s nice for an interviewer to find an affable person who would be a great member of the team. Those are good qualities to have. But they come across during the interview, without much extra effort on your part (sometimes none, if you’re well prepared).

All somebody reading your resume really cares about is what value you can add to his organization. If all you do is show up and collect a paycheck, you’re worse than useless - you’re a net cost. Every business cares about ROI in almost every area. Good businesses are almost obsessed with it. Your resume is your chance to present yourself as a profit improver.

Have you ever known a person who couldn’t stop talking about himself? That’s the typical resume. The reaction is the same.

A reader wants you to say what you can do for the company you want to join.

Specifically, he wants to know whether you can improve profit.

Can you reduce costs?

Can you increase revenue?

Can you improve operations significantly (which is only half a step from improving profit)?

Your resume should be entirely about two things:

1. The profits (or almost-there operational improvements) you can add to the company
2. The reasons you’re the one uniquely qualified to add them

The only place you come in is at profit delivery time. In other words, though it sounds cold, you are a means to an end.

If you present a compelling set of improved profits you can add, and you position yourself as the one person uniquely qualified to add them, you WILL get called for an interview most of the time.

When you’re hired, you can show them the affable team member you really are. Until then, you’re competing against other candidates who add profit. Add more, sooner, more confidently, and you’ll get the job.

Although they say that preventing is by far better than curing, one still has to cope with the problems of high blood pressure when faced with them. The following are a set of well fundamented suggestions appliable to both the suffering and the healthy one in order to lower the blood pressure in his body. This not a drug based treatment, but merely natural principles that go with any medicine your doctor prescribes.

Tip no1. Anyone who is seeking to lower his blood pressure should first consider stopping smoking. The carve for nicotine can be reduced by eating sunflower seeds, and nettle and oat infusion is also widely recognized as a great help. You should also try to quit smoking not all of a sudden, but do it gradually, in the course of 4 to 6 weeks.

Tip no2. Another good way to lower blood pressure is to consume a lot of seaweeds. They are great because of their special property to lower the blood pressure by leveling the concentration of triglycerides, phospholipids and colesterols.
In addition to this, seaweeds contain substances that dissolve the ‘fatty build-ups’ on the blood vessels, helping to create a steady heart beat.

Tip no3. Beta-carotens do miracles when it comes to cutting the risk of a stroke attack, so foods with a high concentration of such compounds should definitely be part of your regular diet. Some of the most common examples are carrots, cabbage, dark leafy greens, apricots, winter squash and sweet potatoes. Natural food does play an important role in lowering blood pressure.

Tip no4. Garlic is yet another remedy Mother Nature offers, very benefic for lowering the blood pressure. In addition to its other good effects on health, studies state that garlic has the abilities to reduce phospholipids and cholesterol, increasing immunity of the organism and reducing chances of strokes. So, the advice is to eat several garlic cloves a day, raw or lightly cooked for lowering blood pressure

Tip no5. Choosing food low in salts and sodium is crucial for lowering blood pressure. Most Americans today are accustomed with high salted food when in fact the dosage recommended is an average of 2.5 grams of sodium per day. This roughly equals 6 grams of table salt, almost a teaspoon. In order for the lowering blood pressure system to give good results it is indicate to consume less high salted foods.

The next 5 tips will be in the second part of this article.

This medical article has been written by Groshan Fabiola. She is a professional writer since 1990, writing many article on various domain from agriculture finance to web development or web research, but now aiming only on health related articles.

More than deadlines to meet and clients to satisfy, the pressure
to look good is far more intense these days. Women hanker after
hourglass figures and men need to be Greek Gods. It is no wonder
that every second person on the street is on a weight loss diet.
Weight loss diet is the topic of conversation in public places,
private parties, on buses and cabs, by the beach and the dinner
table.

Before you plunge in to any form of weight loss diet, few issues
need to be sorted out. Embarking on a diet to lose weight
doesn’t mean indiscriminate slashing of calories. It is true
that you need to cut down on the calories but at the same time,
you cannot compromise on your nutritional intake.

There are representatives from all the food groups in an ideal
weight loss diet plan to ensure that all forms of nutrients
enter your body. So there are actually not many don’ts in a
weight loss diet. However, you need to steer clear of junk,
fried and fast foods, chocolates, candies, cakes and aerated
drinks.

Proteins form the building blocks of your body and as much they
form the prime ingredient in any lose weight diet plan. One gram
of protein per pound of body weight is recommended for every
individual whether you lead an active or sedentary life. Meats,
sea fish, milk and egg whites are good protein sources.

Any weight loss diet plan will advise you to go green. Fruits
and vegetables abound in minerals and vitamins and are low on
calories too. Gorging on them will make you healthy, without
making your calorie intake spiral out of control.

While harping on the theme of a weight loss diet, a myth needs
to be expounded. All fats are not bad. Fishes and nuts are
excellent sources of good fats.

Open any newspaper or magazine and you will find a weight loss
diet plan peeking at you from every nook and cranny. But most
overlook the role of water.

Water is life and in your diet to lose weight, water should be
the backbone. Water flushes out the toxins from your body and
revitalizes you. Deprive yourself of water and you will soon
find your entire mental as well as physical states in shambles.

In essence, a weight loss diet plan counsels having all types of
food, but moderation should be the key. Gorging and starving are
equally bad. Mix and match your foods so that your taste buds
are not weary and be sure to have 1200-1500 calories daily.

The path to a perfect figure is waylaid with temptations in the
form of fad diets, single-food diets, protein and liquid diets.
Each one claims to be a fast weight loss diet. There are no
shortcuts to losing weight and their tall claims should be taken
with a pinch of salt.

The perfect weight loss diet aims to keep you healthy while
endowing you with a flattering figure.

Drug and alcohol addiction is a disease where the individual suffering will need to detox or enter into rehab to recover. Addiction cannot be cured, so the individual might have craving’s their whole lives, but the addict can still live a happy, healthy life if they abstain from the substance.

When substance abuse is stop, there are several withdrawal symptoms that occur, ranging from mild to severe, depending on the individual and the substance. Withdrawal from a chemical may be done at home or in a hospital, but should always been done under medical supervision, as detoxification from a chemical is always dangerous. Many individual might want to take the drug just one last time in order to cease the pain of withdrawal. However, it is after detoxification is complete and problems in the persons life trigger cravings that there is a real risk for relapse. There are many programs for the newly clean drug addict that offer support and counseling in the process of long term recovery.

If you have a friend or family member who has a problem with addiction, you should talk to them, and ask them if they want help. It is important to specialize the process of recovery to the specific needs of you’re the individual. You should also be a positive role model for your loved one. Encourage activities that do not put the person in a situation where they would be around drugs or alcohol. You should always be supportive and caring, although you might be frustrated at times. After your loved one has become clean, remember they need all the love they can get so they don’t go looking for it in self-medication.

Scrapbooking should be fun. There is no right or wrong way to
make your scrapbook. Your scrapbook pages should be a unique and
individual as you are.

Creating your first scrapbook can seem like quite a challenge if
you are new to the art of scrapbooking. Before you begin you
will need a few basic supplies. Here are a few ways to prepare
in advance and make creating your scrapbook fun:

Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary supplies.
Scissors and a paper trimmer, adhesives such as two-sided tape
and photo safe glue, sheet and album protectors, and archival
pens and markers are basic supplies that will make your job a
lot easier.

You will also want to have decorative accessories on hand such
as colored or textured paper, stickers, unique material and
fabric to complement your pages, and perhaps eyelets and acrylic
paints.

You should choose in advance the photos and items you want to
include in your scrapbook. Save the pictures and memorabilia you
are not going to use in a safe place in case you want to add to
your scrapbook at a later time.

After choosing your photos, determine what it is about the
particular pictures that you want to remember. You can add
colorful text and captions to the photos once you have placed
them in your scrapbook to tell others what the picture
signifies.

You may need to crop or resize your photos in order to place
them in your scrapbook an effective manner. Keep in mind that
years from now others will view your scrapbook pages.

Make a note of dates and places alongside your photos to help
you tell your story in the years to come. Scrapbooking should be
fun. There is no right or wrong way to make your scrapbook. Your
scrapbook pages should be a unique and individual as you are.

Letter to Maya Angelou is a book that is intended to entice
the reader’s attention and provoke them to delve into deep
thought on environmental and society issues.

One hundred breath-taking, intimate photographs of nature
scenes have been included in this book. Beautiful shots of
flocks of birds just taking off in flight, enchanting forests,
stunning autumn color and incredible sunsets were enough
to make me a fan of the book.

The photos are accompanied with poetic verses, which,
unfortunately, did not strike a cord in me. Honestly, I did not
even understand many of the verses. Overall, though, it was
clear that the author’s intent was to encourage openness to
adventure, the opportunity for growth and participation in
issues that matter. I really liked a few statements in
particular, “Let your heart be your guide, and the brain a tool”
and “It’s always a holiday when you love”.

Oluwadahusi is a man who has been juggling many hats
for some time - from being a lawyer, author and poet, to the
more rewarding efforts as a teacher and father. He warns
his readers that “any apparent disorder in any of the text,
lack of punctuation” was done with the intent to provoke the
reader to fill in the blanks for themselves.

With availing loans now becoming increasingly easier, large number of borrowers now faces the familiar problem of expenses outgrowing income. They take loans for almost each and every purpose. Some of these loans are taken at a higher interest rate, which become a financial burden. Secured debt consolidation loans come to the rescue of such borrowers, as it is designed to help in eliminating previous debts. The borrower can improve his credibility also when he opts for secured debt consolidation loans.

If the loan is taken carefully it solves all the debt worries of the borrower so that he may make a new beginning. Before you start looking around for the Secured Debt Consolidation Loans, first of all you should find out the amount you would need to pay off previous debts. To do this, make a total of all those debts including the interest on them to arrive at the sum you require. You can even take the services of a debt expert who will advise you on the amount you actually need.

After you have pinpointed an amount you would require, the next step is to put a property of your own as collateral with the lender. Any property like home, car or even savings account serves the purpose of collateral. On the basis of the collateral the borrower can ask for the desired amount.

Normally lenders provide secured debt consolidation loans in the range of £5000 to £50000.If the borrower requires even larger amount because of high previous debts then the lender will look at the value of the collateral. If the collateral is of high value the borrower will get desired amount.

Though normally the rate of interest remains lower in secured debt consolidation loan, still high value collateral becomes an added advantage in demanding lower rate of interest. The repayment of secured debt consolidation loan usually is spread to a convenient duration of up to 25 years. The borrowers have the option of paying secured debt consolidation loan either in monthly or quarterly installments. Borrowers with high value collateral are offered the maximum repayment term.

A lot depends on the borrower’s loan repayment reputation, which the lenders often judge by looking at the borrower’s credit score. Higher the credit score, higher are the chances of extracting lower interest rate and greater amount from the lender. So it would be a good strategy to update the credit record, which is compiled by one of the three credit rating agenciesExperian, Equifax and Transunion. Credit score of 620 and above is considered favorable and safe by the lenders

Secured debt consolidation loans are also the best option for those borrowers who want to improve creditability, as the loan is taken mostly for the purpose of eliminating previous debts

Surely, those borrowers who have many previous debts should opt for secured debt consolidation loans as they get this loan easily by putting property as collateral without selling it.
