Hi?I?m Marcia Reece.? So much has happened since my book became a #1 Bestseller.? I was a first time self-published author.? I didn?t have publishing experience. I had written a book, Secrets of the Marriage Mouse, and a companion workbook with a message I knew many were waiting to hear.? I wanted to get my book out in a big way and not waste my time with author signings and handling returns from traditional book stores.? I took 3 different best seller courses which cost me well over $5,000 and many, many hours of research and prep time.

I?ve distilled down the best of what I learned from these courses and offer you only the best of the best with my proven system.?

My system is simple, but to work it has to be implemented very carefully.? I guide you to eliminate mistakes so your bestseller campaign will work and YOU will become a Bestselling Author.

The VALUE of being recognized as a ?Bestselling Author? is worth more than you can imagine.? I have been asked to co-host a weekly radio program and my book is being featured on a weekly television series.? A nationally recognized author has asked me to join her in presenting weekend seminars. My phone now rings with requests for TV interviews, radio shows, newspaper stories, and magazine insertions. When you become a bestseller, you?ll have the ?BESTSELLING AUTHOR? status FOREVER!

In my system, I?m going to guide you through exactly what you need to do to launch your bestseller campaign in a precise and proven way. I will show you how to avoid expensive, embarrassing, time-consuming mistakes and money-losing pitfalls.? Follow my system and get ready to be a Bestselling Author.

I am a #1 Bestselling Author. My latest #1 Bestseller book is Secrets of the Marriage Mouse. I?ve been where you are now, and now help many authors achieve bestseller status.

My own experience was amazing!? On the day of my book launch, my Secrets of the Marriage Mouse sold out all Amazon Fulfillment Centers by 1:09 PM.? By the end of the day, the entire first print run had sold out ? all at full price! I stayed up all night watching my ranking numbers ? it was so exciting! Early the next morning, I was off to the printer to order a second print run ? doubling the number of books printed!? And that print run sold out before the end of the month.? Even more surprising, once buyers were at my website, they bought my companion workbook and the eBook versions of both my book and my workbook ~ even though I did nothing to promote those items. As I write you, Secrets of the Marriage Mouse is being turned into an audio book and I have just finished negotiating foreign rights.

With my first bestseller campaign, my goal was to not only achieve bestseller status, but to maximize my profits and recoup the monies I had spent creating my book and workbook.? I succeeded beyond my wildest dreams?and so can you.

statins chardon sean young juan pablo montoya free pancakes at ihop martina navratilova high school shooting

Video: Ending the crisis in Gaza

>>> up to speed on the breaking news out of the middle east . a cease-fire between israel and hamas could come as ly as this evening. we want to bring in israel 's ambassador to the u.s. ambassador , great to have you with us. let's start straight out of the gate with what we have been reporting is the secretary of state hillary clinton expected to be in the region. landing in jerusalem at any moment to meet with prime minister netanyahu. what more insight can you share with us about what will be discussed?

>> well, good to be with you too, thomas. yes, secretary of state clinton is arriving, the secretary-general of the united nations ban ki moon was talking with prime minister netanyahu about the possibility of a cease-fire. right now, hamas has increased its firing on israel . almost 150 rockets fired just today. two of our citizens have been killed just today. so i cannot tell you whether that cease-fire is within reach. we want an end to all of the shooting from hamas . we have had now 5 1/2 million israelis under fire for seven days. that's well over half of our population under rocket fire. something in the vicinity of 1,500 rockets fired at them over the course of the last seven days. and we want a long-term solution. so that we don't find ourselves back in the situation in another month or another week where the terrorist can decide to shoot at us at will.

>> as you report on what deaths are being realized today inside israel , ayman mohyeldin is reporting that there are 130 dead, up to 1,000 injured so far in the rocket blasts that have gone back from israel because of what hamas instigated. as we know they did fire first. that is the onus on israel to recognize its part in moving forward? that there is a deal brokered that israel needs to display the leadership necessary to keep everyone intact?

>> i think the onus is squarely on the shoulders of hamas here. israelis are minding their own business, they were sending their kids to school, leading their lives and all of a sudden, hundreds and ultimately thousands of rockets are falling down on their neighborhoods and homes. they have to agree to a long-term solution that can be mediated by the united states and others -- other international actors, but to guarantee the peace. israel is not attacking hamas . there's no moral equivalency here. it's not a two-way street. it's a one-way street and hamas has go down the street of cease-fire and long-term solutions.

>> sir, britain's chief rabbi jonathan sax has told the bbc he believes iran has a lot to do with the violence that's playing out between israel and gaza . now he didn't know what he said was live going out over the air when he said it. nonetheless, it is what he felt at the time. do you feel that iran has a greater role in this conflict besides what we do know about the fact they have been act to supply weapons to hamas and into gaza ?

>> well, i think rabbi sacks is right. gaza is essentially an outpost of iran . hamas is supplied by iran . it receives funding from iran . islamic jihad the second largest terrorist organization in gaza is actually wholly owned and directed by iran , as are several smaller terrorist organizations there. so yes, this is in a way a proxy conflict with iran .

>> ambassador, thank you for taking time with me today. we are continuing to wait and for -- for word of a cease-fire deal being brokered. we appreciate you taking time out for us.

>> thank you.

The latest on Ronda Rousey?s move to the UFC

Strikeforce bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will soon join the UFC. In addition to confirming this news, UFC president Dana White recently shed more light on Ronda Rousey joining the UFC.

-- She's already considered a UFC champion. The UFC bantamweight women's championship belt is being fabricated for Rousey right now.

-- Don't expect her first fight to be against onetime Strikeforce featherweight Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos. Santos learned from doctors that it would be a bad idea to cut down to bantamweight. White said that the UFC is doing a women's bantamweight division, so it looks like Santos is the odd woman out.

-- Rousey will make her debut with the UFC as the main event of a pay-per-view. She has already headlined cards for Strikeforce. A date hasn't been set, but White said soon.

Health and Fitness: How to Measure The Progress of Your Health ...

People tend to measure success in different ways. It can be wealth, family relationships or personal happiness. But when it comes to measuring the success of your health and fitness program what is successful and what is not. Certainly one measure is the lack of illness or long term medical issues. Another can be the number of healthy living habits you have acquired or the loss of weight that you set out to achieve. People may be commenting on how good you look. These are all ways to determine if your program is working or not.

DIET IS VERY IMPORTANT

There are two important measures in the progress that you are making in your eating habits toward a healthier lifestyle. You may notice that you have become wiser in the way that you prepare foods. You may have substituted bad fats that you used in cooking with healthier fats such as olive oil or other oils that are derived from plants. You may be more aware and have a better understanding about food labeling. This is an area that we have made great progress in over recent years. We now have a better understanding about what is in the foods that we eat and what to is good and bad for us. You may have even substituted one brand to another healthier one.

Another way to determine the success of your health and fitness program is a physical measure of you waistline. Diseases such as diabetes and heart disease have been associated with abdominal fat. Any reduction can result in an improved body fat distribution.

BE AWARE OF BODY FAT

Another good measure of your progress would be your total body fat. There are several ways to measure this, the simplest and most accessible method would be skin fold calipers. While methods such as hydrostatic weighing or electrical impedance are much more accurate they are really not necessary. Skin fold calipers will give you a good staring point and way to measure your progress.

Regardless of how you choose to measure your progress you should never rely on total body weight and a scale. This is a mistake that many make as body weight may have been the factor that initiated them to start their health and fitness program from the start. Total weight is only a combination of total body fat and your lean body weight. The more important measure is the ratio between the two. Many times people can have the same weight and one will be in much better shape that the other.

MMSA&#39;s International Men&#39;s Day | MMSA

Posted by scorp in General, Human Rights and Peace, Notices, Reproductive Health | 0 comments

Ever felt that, in a society that?s very vocal about gender equality, sometimes men?s rights are somewhat taken for granted? Ever felt that, while everyone is talking about domestic violence against women, few ever inquire into men?s psychological health? Want to learn more about sexual disorders men commonly suffer from but feel shy and afraid to discuss? This is why on the 23rd and 24th of November SCORP and SCORA, in association with St. James Hospital, are organising MMSA?s??International Men?s Day?, a worldwide campaign held to celebrate the male persona on a holistic level. Besides topics ranging from men?s sexual health to their psychological well-being, the campaign also addresses the issues of homophobia, social role of men and role models, fitness and gender equality.

Join us at our stand on Friday 23rd at 09.00 hrs. at the University Quadrangle, in front of the library, where an outreaching event will be taking place and leaflets will be distributed. A photo competition in support of the international ?I?m a Real Man? campaign (a campaign by Women?s Aid), which calls for men worldwide to make a difference in society today, will also be held. Sport your manliest poses and be in the chance of winning an exclusive ?I?m a Real Man? T-Shirt with MMSA?s logo printed on the back! Support the campaign also by signing the ?I?m a Real Man? pledge. Remember; a real man doesn?t hit, abuse or control and doesn?t hurt the ones he loves! Also, for those looking to breaking a sweat, a tug-of-war competition will be held at 10.30 hrs. next to our stand: a fun competition aimed towards bringing out one?s manlier side. (Ladies can, of course, join in the fun!). Participants who wish to apply as a team can do so by emailing us on imd@mmsa.org.mt. To help raise awareness and contribute towards curing prostate cancer, MMSA will be taking part in the Movember Campaign (check out: http://ex.movember.com/), an international month-long event which raises awareness on prostate cancer and other male cancer issues.

Men ? feel free to grow your moustache in support of this noble campaign! Donations for the campaign will be collected by MMSA members throughout the month but you can also do your part by giving a small donation at our stand, where a cookie sale will also be held.

Events at the stand will be followed by talks that will be delivered at the new Anatomy Lecture Theatre (nALR) at the Biomedical Sciences Building, starting at 12.00 hrs. and pertaining to the topics of erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, psychological abuse in men and gender equality. Refreshments will be provided throughout the talks, which will conclude at 14.00 hrs.

To promote the importance of men?s health and fitness, on the 24th of November, an event is also being organised in association with Gymnasia, during which participants will get the chance to enjoy free rock climbing sessions and a self-defence lesson, complimented by a talk on general fitness by Alan Micallef. This will be held at Gymnasia, Paola, from 10.00 till 12.30 hrs. Places are limited, so confirm your attendance now by sending an email to imd@mmsa.org.mt to avoid disappointment.

?Europe needs a stronger EFSA and a stronger risk assessment community?

Press Release
16 November 2012

Europeans enjoy among the highest standards of food safety in the world, and together we will preserve and build on that proud record. That was the message with which the European Food Safety Authority?s Executive Director closed this week?s successful joint conference with the European Commission?s Directorate General for Health and Consumers (DG SANCO) in Parma.

?We have heard many different voices at this meeting and it is important that we continue to improve that dialogue. Most importantly, today we are agreed that we need a stronger EFSA and a stronger risk assessment community in Europe,? Catherine Geslain-Lan?elle said. She was speaking at the end of a meeting attended by representatives of the European Commission, the European Parliament, NGOs and industry bodies. The event was the culmination of a number of activities EFSA has held to mark the 10th anniversary of the establishment of both the Authority and the General Food Law in 2002.

The conference ?Ready for the Challenges of Tomorrow? gave EFSA?s key partners and stakeholders an opportunity to reflect on the Authority?s record over the first 10 years of its existence and to discuss the way forward.

In an introductory address, Ladislav Miko, Deputy Director General for the Food Chain at DG SANCO, praised the work of the Authority. ?EFSA?s cluster of scientific knowledge is without parallel in the world and the Authority is a crucial partner for the Commission,? he said. ?Its work impacts on the daily lives of European citizens.?

Asked what they regarded as EFSA?s main achievements, panellists and delegates came up with a wide-ranging list. The Authority had:

• ?Saved years?, making food safer sooner.
• Strengthened the EU?s ability to deal with food crises swiftly and effectively.
• Increased cooperation with, and among, Member States.
• Established a culture of trust between risk assessors and risk managers in support of science-based policy-making.

Delegates also looked at the challenges ahead and, picking up a theme from last week?s EFSA Scientific Conference, discussed the continuing importance of dialogue with risk managers and stakeholders.

Other future challenges that were identified included:

• How, in times of austerity, to ensure the Authority receives sufficient funding to carry out its tasks.
• A need to better understand the public?s perception of risk and make communications more accessible, particularly given the rise of social media and ?viral? web stories.
• The importance of ensuring continued access to the best scientific experts and building risk assessment capacity in the EU.

A second session on the role of science in policy-making was introduced by Marit Paulsen, Vice-Chair of the European Parliament?s Agriculture and Rural Development Committee, who made a plea for politicians to take a ?helicopter view? and look at public health holistically. ?There is a great need for more politicians to listen to science. We cannot build a safe, sustainable food chain with short-term thinking,? she said, adding that ?scientists, politicians and citizens will make the future together?.

The session then focused on questions such as ?Can we trust the science behind food safety decisions?? and ?Is science sometimes blamed for problems that are not related to science but to politics and economics?? There was also discussion on the role of NGOs, and the need to ensure that political questions regarding policy are directed to the appropriate parties ? risk managers rather than assessors.

In a wide-ranging debate, a number of speakers insisted that the rigour of the scientific method was the greatest defence when concerns are raised about the source and impartiality of data and research.

Professor Anthony Hardy, Chair of EFSA?s Scientific Committee, said: ?It doesn?t matter who generates scientific evidence as long as it stands up to examination and meets accepted scientific criteria.? David Byrne, a former EU Commissioner for Health, added: ?Science is the lifeblood of risk assessment. If the scientific method is sound the outcome is trusted.?

Jos? Bov?, Vice-Chair of the European Parliament?s Agriculture and Rural Development Committee, agreed. ?We need EFSA, in fact we need a stronger EFSA. But EFSA also needs critical friends,? he said. ?EFSA can strengthen the dialogue and take into account constructive criticism and requests formulated by NGOs.?

Ms Geslain-Lan?elle said in her concluding remarks that science is always evolving and EFSA has to continue to support risk managers in setting the right agenda to protect consumers. The Authority is looking forward to working with all its partners ? in Europe and beyond ? to develop together the way ahead, she added.

Obama offers praise, pressure on historic Myanmar trip

YANGON (Reuters) - Barack Obama became the first American president to visit Myanmar on Monday, using a six-hour trip to balance U.S. praise for the government's progress in shaking off military rule with pressure to complete the process of democratic reform.

Obama, greeted by enthusiastic crowds in the former capital, Yangon, met President Thein Sein, a former junta member who has spearheaded reforms since taking office in March 2011, and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

"I shared with President Thein Sein our belief that the process of reform that he is taking is one that will move this country forward," Obama told reporters, with Thein Sein at his side.

"I recognize that this is just the first steps on what will be a long journey, but we think that a process of democratic reform and economic reform here in Myanmar ... can lead to incredible development opportunities here," Obama said, using the country name preferred by the government and former junta, rather than Burma, which is used in the United States.

Thein Sein, speaking in Burmese with an interpreter translating his remarks, responded that the two sides would move forward, "based on mutual trust, respect and understanding".

"We also reached agreement for the development of democracy in Myanmar and for promotion of human rights to be aligned with international standards," he added.

Obama's Southeast Asian trip, less than two weeks after his re-election, was aimed at showing how serious he is about shifting the U.S. strategic focus eastwards as America winds down wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The so-called "Asia pivot" is also meant to counter China's rising influence.

The trip to Myanmar highlighted what the White House has touted as a major foreign policy achievement -- its success in pushing the country's generals to enact changes that have unfolded with surprising speed over the past year.

Tens of thousands of well-wishers, including children waving American and Burmese flags, lined Obama's route from the airport after his arrival, cheering him as he went by.

"ICON OF DEMOCRACY"

Obama met fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate Suu Kyi, who led the struggle against military rule and is now a lawmaker, at the lakeside home where she spent years under house arrest.

Addressing reporters afterwards, Suu Kyi thanked Obama for supporting the political reform process. But, speaking so softly she was barely audible at times, she cautioned that the most difficult time was "when we think that success is in sight".

"Then we have to be very careful that we are not lured by a mirage of success and that we are working towards genuine success for our people," she said.

Obama recalled Suu Kyi's years of captivity and said she was "an icon of democracy who has inspired people not just in this country but around the world".

"Today marks the next step in a new chapter between the United States and Burma," he said, using the country name that she prefers. Before he left, the two embraced and he kissed her on the cheek.

Earlier, Obama made an unscheduled stop at the landmark Shwedagon Pagoda, where he, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and their entire entourage, secret service agents included, went barefoot up the giant stone staircase.

STOP THE VIOLENCE

The United States has softened sanctions and removed a ban on most imports from Myanmar in response to reforms already undertaken, but it has set conditions for the full normalization of relations, including efforts to end ethnic conflict.

In recent months, sectarian violence between majority Buddhists and the Rohingya Muslim minority in the western state of Rakhine has killed at least 167 people.

Many in Myanmar consider the Rohingya Muslims to be illegal immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh and the government does not recognize them as citizens. A Reuters investigation into the wave of sectarian assaults painted a picture of organized attacks against the Muslim community.

"For too long, the people of this state, including ethnic Rakhine, have faced crushing poverty and persecution. But there's no excuse for violence against innocent people," Obama told a packed audience for a speech at Yangon University.

"The Rohingya ... hold within themselves the same dignity as you do, and I do. National reconciliation will take time, but for the sake of our common humanity, and for the sake of this country's future, it's necessary to stop incitement and to stop violence."

Thein Sein, in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon last week, promised to tackle the root causes of the problem, and Obama said he welcomed "the government's commitment to address the issues of injustice, and accountability, and humanitarian access and citizenship".

PRISONERS RELEASED

Some human rights groups objected to the Myanmar visit, saying Obama was rewarding the government of the former pariah state for a job that was incomplete. Speaking in Thailand on the eve of his visit, Obama denied he was going to offer his "endorsement" or that his trip was premature.

Aides said Obama was determined to lock in the democratic changes under way in Myanmar, but would press for further action, including the freeing of all political prisoners.

Obama announced the resumption of U.S. aid program in Myanmar during his visit. An administration official said the USAID program would include assistance of $170 million in total for fiscal 2012 and 2013, but this would be dependent on further reforms.

In a move clearly timed to show goodwill, the authorities began to release dozens more political detainees on Monday, including Myint Aye, arguably the most prominent dissident left in its gulag.

Despite human rights concerns, the White House sees Myanmar as a legacy-building success story of Obama's policy of seeking engagement with U.S. enemies. In his Yangon speech, he appealed to North Korea to take a similar path.

"To the leadership of North Korea, I've offered a choice: let go of your nuclear weapons, and choose the path of peace and progress. If you do, you'll find an extended hand from the United States of America," he said.
