So you want to learn how to survive prison? I have done a couple years behind bars and most of my friends are ex convicts as well. I sat them down and we made up the following list of rules you must follow to survive and not get killed behind bars. Yes, jail or prison is a very dangerous place but being able to make the best of it will either make or break you, kill you or make you survive.

How to survive prison #1 - Always stay in touch with your family and friends. Being able to know that you have people on the outside that care about you is a big part of keeping your mind balanced. Be sure to get visits from family. However, when you get mail from your family or friends, rip off the return addresses, and when you make phone calls cover the dial pad with your spare hand. You don’t want any other inmates harassing your family or friends cause they have beef with you.

How to survive prison #2 - Never gamble and never borrow items off of inmates. If an inmate offers to help you out right as you arrive in your cell block say no. If he offers you food, cigarettes, or whatever, say no. Chances are you will be in debt to that inmate for double or triple of what he gave you. So stay away from this trick and don’t get victimized by the scam artists in there. Live off what you have. However if you dont have much learn how to bargain and trade the things you do have.

How to survive prison #3 - Be respectful to the guards anf follow their rules but don’t turn into an informant. Another thing is to not be seen hanging out with the guards or being their friends. Just remember that guards aren’t your friends and they can betray you at any time. Keep this in mind. Also, if you see an act of violence or a crime, and that guard asks you what you saw, always say you saw nothing. If another inmate stabs another inmate, and it happens right in front of you, you tell the guards you saw nothing. In jail if you stand on trial in a course case or testify this makes you a rat. And a dead man.

How to survive prison #4 - I suggest you study martial arts and look into self defense courses. Knowing how to fight is one of the biggest survival tactics of the prison system. If someone threatens you, or starts problems with you, and you can’t talk your way out of it, throw fists. Just be aware of the people you are fighting and their political status behind bars. If they are in a gang be careful, but always stand your ground. Don’t be a coward and take a beating cause it will happen often. Soon enough another inmate will own you, because you need protection. Making you his punk.

***Ever since interval workout training has become very well known and a common workout to burn fat, many personal trainers have been researching other shorter cardio regimens to work out to burn fat.





A recent study from Japan used a plan that is known as the Tabata Protocol, and many other exercise trainers think that this method is even more promising then the regular, routine cardio intervals.





Many people however are not convinced that this workout to burn fat is more effectual than the typical intervals, but even they concede that it sure is one vigorous way to burn fat!!





Once you do your warm up you follow it up with twenty seconds of hard reps and ten seconds of recovery time. You repeat this about eight times. This means that your total workout time to burn fat is about four minute’s total.





Another very similar work out to burn fat is called body circuit cardio. Just like that of the Tabata intervals, this method is not necessarily cardio, but is among the three best workouts used to burn fat.





You start off with a pretty easy and fun exercise like jumping jacks, then you move on to alternating between three lower and upper body exercises by doing pushups, squats, chin ups, and total abdominal workouts like mountain climbing or sit ups.





Afterwards, you finish the workout with total body workouts like jumps or running in place for about thirty minutes.





Now that is a workout to burn fat!





The truth is that in order to workout to burn fat you have to use a very high intensity interval program like the ones mentioned above. By using lower intensity workouts you will not see immediate results until after about twelve weeks of doing this type of program.





Therefore, it pays for you to look into the Tabata or body circuit cardio programs if you are looking into using a work out to burn fat in a short amount of time.





However, if you are not interested in developing a more rigorous exercise routine, you can always stick with the common cardio work out to burn fat which is walking.





By walking three to five times a week on top of a good diet you will burn fat at a much slower rate but it will get you in shape and keep your weight off if you stick to the routine.





Also, if you are into exercises like yoga, you can build muscle tone and endurance while burning fat without having to follow a rigorous routine. Swimming is another less intense total body workout to burn fat that serves to tone and strengthen the muscles as well as burn off unwanted fat.





So, the choice is up to you as to what kind of workout to burn fat program will work for you and your lifestyle. Just remember that if you want instant results you will have to do the high intensity cardio work out programs, but if you want to remain on a lower intensity routine then expect your results to come at a much slower pace.-

Grooming is one of the basics of caring for a cat. No matter what breed, from the Sphynx to the Persian, grooming should be included in the maintenance for many reasons.

Not only does grooming care for the coat but it is a time to assess the basic health of kitty or notice any changes. It also serves as a special time to bond with your kitty and make her very handleable.

Grooming does not have to be tedious, but you should set aside time for the following:
* Get a grooming brush that both you and kitty like and brush regularly. Depending on the breed, even everyday.
* Play with kitty’s feet and push on the nail beds so she becomes comfortable with this. Clipping her nails should begin as soon as she moves in.
* Baths may also need to be part of the routine depending on the breed. Breeds like Rex and Sphynx get lots of oils and need weekly bath time. Starting early is the best way to get them comfortable with this.
* Shaving may become part of a regular routine with long hair cats if you do not have the time for daily grooming. Persians especially can become easily matted. Starting this routine at an early age will get them comfortable with the noises and adventure of going to the groomer.
* Ears can get dirty of waxy and should be gently cleaned each weeks.
* Eyes of certain breeds like Persians and Exotic Shorthairs should be wipes on a daily basis. The tears of a cat are reddish brown so do not worry that something is wrong because of the color.
* Dental hygiene is a must as many cats end up with severe dental disease. Brushing with a cat sized toothbrush and cat toothpaste should be a daily routine.
* If you have a kitty with long hair, sometimes they need a “vanity” shave to keep the area clean.

Always keep basic grooming materials on hand:
* Several kind of brushes- a Furminator is awesome for cats with thick or undercoats.
* Q-tips
* Paper towels
* Cat shampoo and conditioner
* Kitty wipes
* A grooming kit for long coated cats
* Toothbrush and toothpaste
* Towels
* Nail clipper

Speak with your vet and groomer about the specific needs of your breed of cats. Even a domestic shorthair “mutt” needs to have regular care. Start early to make this a positive experience.

MELBOURNE: Australia on Monday “unreservedly” condemned the murder of an Indian national as New Delhi angrily slammed the attack and warned it

could hurt bilateral ties.

Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard stressed that Australia welcomed foreign students after accounting graduate Nitin Garg, 21, was stabbed by unknown attackers Saturday night before collapsing in the Melbourne burger restaurant where he worked.

Indian students have been hit by hundreds of alleged race attacks, prompting street protests last year and damaging Australia’s lucrative international education industry.

“I obviously unreservedly condemn this attack,” Gillard said. “People in Melbourne’s west, people around the nation, I think they will be joining together to say we unreservedly condemn this violence.”

She was speaking after India decried the murder as a “crime on humanity” and said it would “certainly” affect ties between the two countries.

“This heinous crime on humanity, this is an uncivilised brutal attack on innocent Indians,” Indian Foreign Minister S M Krishna told reporters.

“It certainly will have some bearing on the bilateral ties between our two countries,” he added.

Police have said there is no evidence the murder was racially motivated, but also told AFP that 1,447 people of Indian descent were crime victims in Victoria state in the 12 months to July 2008.

Gautam Gupta, president of the Federation of Indian Students of Australia, said many more attacks went unreported and questioned why police were playing down race as a factor.

“If they have not caught the criminal, how can they eliminate racism as being behind this attack,” Gupta told AFP. “What were they expecting to find on the scene? A business card saying: ‘I am a racist’?”

According to his housemate Parminder Singh, Garg, understood to be from Punjab in northern India, had been targeted by drunken louts at a train station in an earlier incident.

“They were just drunk and they wanted to find anyone to beat,” Singh said.

“If they find someone alone they just beat (them) because they know nothing is going to happen after that. What will happen? Police will not do anything.”

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, Gillard and Victoria Premier John Brumby have all visited India recently to ease frictions and promote the 15.4 billion US dollar foreign education export industry, Australia’s fourth largest export earner.

Australia has forecast a 20 percent drop in students from India next year after earlier attacks prompted a barrage of negative publicity in the country.

Each allegedly racial attack sparks outrage on India’s passionate TV news channels, amid rising concern from families and friends of students studying in the country that was previously seen as a safe and even glamorous destination.

Following Garg’s death, India’s Mail Today tabloid splashed the headline “Racist Aussie gang knifes Indian to death” across its front page as it slammed Australian police for failing to protect Indian students from “hate gangs”.

But deputy police commissioner Kieran Walshe said Victoria had a large Indian population and he did not believe the community was being singled out.

“I don’t believe that there has been any really detailed rascist motives around assaults on Indian people in the past,” he told reporters.

“In some cases there may well be. But in the general sense of it, a lot it we’ve seen has been around opportunistic theft.”

Australia attracted some 117,000 Indian students in the year to October, about 19 percent of foreign enrolments as universities and colleges actively target the country’s growing middle class.

Australia’s education sector has also been tarnished by a series of visa scams involving agents who exploit foreign students.

You want your furry friend to eat right. You are very aware of the numerous benefits of a healthy and nutritious dog diet, but where can you find the best food for your pet?

Several companies use the internet as a marketplace to sell their organic and natural dog diets. Look online to locate a type of dog food that feels right to you. Some merchants will even deliver the dog food right to your door. Your dog’s diet has never been more convenient. The internet has opened the door for pet owners to expand their choices when it comes to their dog’s diet.

But never forget to always consult the veterinarian before making any changes or alterations. Once you have decided on a specific diet for your dog, take advantage of the healthiest and most convenient method available to you.

The role of calcium

It is important for your dog’s diet to contain all of the essential vitamins to ensure excellent health. One of the important nutrients in your dog’s diet is calcium. When we think of calcium, strong teeth and bones come to mind. Your dog’s diet should be rich in calcium to support healthy teeth and bones.

When your dog’s diet contains appropriate levels of calcium, such bone abnormalities occur infrequently. This is just one more reason to carefully select an appropriate diet for your dog. Always consult with your veterinarian to determine the best amount of calcium in your dog’s diet.

Vitamin D is another nutrient that influences the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. If a dog’s diet lacks the appropriate amount of vitamin D, the other nutrients will not provide all the benefits to your pet. Excessive amounts of vitamin D can have toxic effects on your dog. It is imperative to maintain appropriate levels of vitamin D in your dog’s diet. Again, feeding your dog food from a reputable company will allow you confidence in knowing that your dog’s diet is healthy.

Milk fever, or eclampsia, cannot be avoided with calcium supplements. Eclampsia is not a nutritional deficiency, but a metabolic condition that affects the dog after the pups have been born and begin nursing.

The advent of an infrared technology has increased the scope of an extremely popular business - the spa. A spa is one of the most well-liked destinations for many of the health-conscious and fashion-conscious people. Actually, infrared saunas are growing popular with people staying in urban places. An infrared sauna retains all the benefits provided by traditional saunas and also provides additional benefits in spite of its smaller form. Far-infrared radiant heat is an absolutely risk-free form of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by a process called direct light conversion. Radiant heat is also called infrared heat or infrared energy. Conversion of direct light does not raise the temperature of the surrounding free air but heatens up only the object.

Going to a spa, resort, health clubs or sauna is always comforting, but sometimes (or all of the time) it’s not so fun to be unaccompanied. Traditional Finnish saunas allow more than one person, and finally infrared saunas can fit more than one person to relax and enjoy themselves. With an infrared sauna, you and a family member, partner, or friend can calm and relax together.

The infrared sauna is a device used to increase weight loss and detoxify the body. At the heart of the saunas functionality is sweat. The infrared sauna heats up to temperatures of 125 degrees. Unlike the steam saunas that raise the temperature higher than 160 degrees, the infrared sauna aims to provide warmth without the chance of overheating.

The infrared sauna spa clubs are comprised of four walls and a roof. There are benches located inside, where users can sit and relax in the heat of the sauna. According to manufacturers, the infrared rays reach as far as two inches into the body producing more sweat and thus increasing the detoxification ability of the sauna.

Health club members are seen to get inclined to become fans of the clubs if the club tends to have a sauna. They experience the great comfort of using saunas by going and spending some time in spas, gyms or health clubs. So if you own a health club then here is an idea for you: add a sauna. If it is high-class or formal clubs then add both of multi-person and single-person saunas and for a more informal ambiance add more of multi-person saunas. Segregate the men’s and ladies saunas for better business traction and client impressions if you sense that separating would make your customers more satisfied. Alternatively, you may offer shared sessions in which both gentlemen and ladies would share saunas and also offer reserved hours for gentlemen and ladies separately.

In a nutshell, using a sauna would generate a good amount of business for you in the longer run if you do it methodically. See, most people would spend much more in a health club than what they would spend if they had purchased the same equipments at home. As a business owner, you probably already know that. Simply re-use this common psychology - setup an infrared sauna in your club or organization and it is going to reap golden benefits for you.

***Owning a home may have personified the American dream for decades but new economic and social realities are dictating new trends. More young professionals and families are choosing to rent or own Washington DC apartments over homes than ever before. Perhaps going against traditional wisdom, surprisingly, savvy economics is one of top 5 driving forces behind the trend.





Convenience


Many people choose to rent Washington DC Apartments over owning a home for the maintenance free convenience it offers. Leaving the household repairs and landscaping to someone else lets renters enjoy a few precious hours to enjoy life.





Affordability


Long term affordability is a primary concern for many renters. There are numerous hidden costs in home ownership beyond mortgages such as maintenance, property taxes, school fees and many others. Renting can put you in a very desirable neighborhood in which it may not be cost effective to purchase a home. Many feel that it is just savvy economics. Money saved in maintenance and taxes can be invested in a variety of ways that yields a higher return than property ownership.





Flexibility


Being tied down to one location is not an optimum choice for everyone. Washington DC apartments provide renters with a wide range of choices to meet their changing needs without having to change neighborhoods or leave behind the things that makes DC living so unique and desirable. Students can find affordable studio apartments close to school and work, while young professionals can find apartments suited for entertaining. Even growing families can find beautiful apartments with many amenities such as fitness rooms and pools, all without leaving the DC Area. When you rent, you can leave one location in favor of another with very little penalty.





Amenities


One way to live luxuriously without having to buy all the amenities is renting a luxury apartment. Living the high life does not have to mean going into debt when so many Washington DC apartments offer every amenity imaginable. Private pools, tennis courts, fitness rooms, meeting rooms, barbeque and other recreational areas are all available, without the high cost and effort of ownership. Having all of these amenities at hand may increase rent, but it is also offset by savings on things like fitness club memberships. Also, for some, the list of amenities is important if their job requires frequent entertaining.





Devaluing Home Prices


Another concern for many Americans is unstable home prices. One reason many choose to buy a home is the belief that home values always rise. In recent years we have found that is not always true. Renters never have to worry what their home will be worth when it is time to move, or the hassles of managing it while maintaining another residence. many Washington DC renters are choosing to put their money in more stable, interest earning accounts and forgoing the conventional wisdom that home-ownership is the prized for of financial security.





Owning or renting is a serious decision and one that should be given much thought. While, home values do increase in the long term, as humans, we are circumstantially forced to live in the short term. All of those factors should be considered.

With a challenging set of UK economic conditions, it might be thought that the role of commercial estate agents has diminished somewhat. This article intends to identify what role these agencies are playing in the rebirth of the good old days. That rebirth seem a good distance off, but the green shoots have to start somewhere, so do commercial estate agents have a key role to play?

As you may well know, these estate agents organise the rental of innumerable business and industrial properties. It is true that many of these agents are finding it difficult to rent out properties, which means that those looking to rent can find some really good terms for rental. These tough environments tend, it might be argued, to sort out the mediocre commercial estate agents from the really good ones.

London itself appears to be very busy, even during this recession. The streets of the centre are full of people – and this includes many tourists who are willing to spend money. As this is the case, there is very little vacant space in this area.

Commercial estate agents that deal with central London properties are finding that business is a lot brisker than other geographical areas of the UK. As well as being a tourist hot spot, London boasts a great many governmental and corporate organisations; the people who work in these organisations help to boost the local economies a great deal.

With that in mind, many other parts of the UK do not possess this kind of advantage – and so when we look at periphery areas of London, and those in Scotland, Wales etc., we find that commercial estate agents are finding business a little tougher. There are a great many councils keen to fill the many town centre properties. The big favourites are charities, but also we can find art related uses of the space.

The challenge then for commercial estate agents in London and indeed across the UK, is to find people to fill these spaces – even if it is just a temporary fix for reduced rents. Estate agents such as these, one could say, have a responsibility and indeed a power to assist in regenerating our forlorn looking British high streets.

One thing is certain, a positive attitude is required to ensure that properties are found a use wherever possible. The UK is built on small towns, and those towns need their high streets to be vibrant – stimulating commerce and culture.

Gino Hitshopi is highly experienced in the realm of commercial estate agents, having written about the property industry for many years. For more information please visit: http://www.thelorenzconsultancy.co.uk/

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The United States will commit one billion dollars toward the purchase of ingredients for a swine flu vaccine, Washington’s top health official said Sunday as US deaths from the virus continued to mount.

“There will be another one billion dollars worth of orders placed to get the bulk ingredients for an H1N1 vaccination,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told CNN television Sunday, adding that the final vaccine likely will be ready by October.

“Congress has agreed with the president that this is the number one priority, keeping Americans safe and secure,” she said, adding that US scientist are working “to get the shots in folks’ arms.”

Her remarks came as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed 211 US deaths from the A(H1N1) virus, with some 37,000 cases confirmed — the highest level of death and infection of any country in the world.

Officials have warned that the virus could return with a vengeance in the the coming months. The virus, already deemed at pandemic levels by global health experts, is in more than 100 countries and is continuing to spread.

Last week, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said clinical trials on a first candidate vaccine were expected to begin in August.

The tests would take “a couple of months” to determine whether the vaccine is safe and effective and what the appropriated dosage would be, Fauci said at a medical conference.
