Glaciers are melting at a quicker rate than at any time since measurements began, reports The Daily Mail. Glaciologists from the Glacier Monitoring Service, which records 29 glaciers in seven mountains, guage that from 1847 to 1968 glaciers receded at a mean rate of 33 cm a year. From 1970 to 2002 the amount receding increased to 65 – 95 centimeters a yr. Since then the average has comprised greater than 1 meter per year. And last season recorded the greatest losses thus far of 1.2 metres. Which is an incredible increase.

Worldwide glaciers are retreating least ways as quickly as the glaciers in the group with potentially disastrous aftermaths for local residents. Soon there could be many more floods, whilst in the future, streams will disappear, leading to sharp water shortages.

Chamonix French Alps, has a great amount of glaciers, the consequences of global warming and the retreating of glaciers could be noticeably found. Perhaps this is why several firms and locals seem to be more cognizant of the issues and are therefore seeking to undertake measures to reduce their carbon output. One hopes it isn’t too belated to stay the effects of climate change and guarantee a world for our children.

Are you aware that its quite possible to obtain a cell phone totally cost free including12 months free line rental? What that means is that you will be given a free cell phone with free inclusive minutes and free inclusive text messages without paying a penny for them!About now your wondering if this is a bogus deal, but these offers are the real deal!The idea is to whoop cell phone retailers at their own game. Understand, cell phone companies advertise free line rental deals just to get customers through the door. But then they attach a load of strings to the packages to lower the quantities of customers that actually take out and successfully obtain a free line rental deal.The way free line rentaldeals work is that the buyer sign up for a cell phone contract in the usual manner, and make sure they pay the bill as they would with any other contract. Then, at pre determined times within the 12 month term of the mobile phone contract you are able to apply for cash back. At this point the store which sold you the mobile phone will send out a cheque. Usually three different claims have to be made before you get back 100% of the cost of your mobile.Now heres the deal, the stores ensure the process of getting your money back pretty difficult, as they ask that you provide phone bills (which you may mis place). They also insist upon specific dates for the claim (which you may forget) and put in place various other tricks and loopholes. So, you have to be smart and beat them at their own game!Read the contract fully, write down the dates, look after the paperwork and put your claim in on time and you can get a mobile completely free for an entire year!The simple fact is that the retailers don’t care about throwing away a few of these phones free of charge as it makes for a a good promotion for them. Having the ability to promote “cost free cellular telephones” elevates the profile of their store, and, as they recognise only a small number of people will jump through all the pitfalls essential to get a 12 months free line rental deal, it doesn’t really cost them too much money!A 12 months free line rental offer may not be the right for everyone as you need to be prepared and be sure you properly complete all of the tasks of the claim correctly, but, a 12 months free line rental deal is definately something worth considering if you are price conscious.

Online golf lessons have grown tremendously in popularity, for the simple reason that they address a problem faced by most golfers. The problem is that of finding the time away from their golf game to take golf lessons.

Not everybody is a professional with all the time between tourneys to brush up on their skills. Most golfers are amateurs who have to take care of business elsewhere in-between their precious moments on the course. Online golf lessons have proved to be the ideal answer.

One of the positive results of online golf lessons is that they have inspired many a golfer to take positive and deliberate steps to improve their game. One of the key advantages that the online golf lesson has going for it is that it is easy to use visuals and diagrams to illustrate and clearly explain many key points.

For example posture in the setup stage before the golf swing is easy to illustrate and show in an online golf lesson. One of the things that comes out from many of these online golf lessons is that posture and a lot of the factors that are vital to playing good golf are only possible when a golfer makes a decision to take action. One of the vital actions is to start getting involved in exercise and the conditioning of various parts of the body so as to be able to make an enormous improvement on their golf game.

Although golf-specific exercise and conditioning is not as rigorous as some people may make them out to be (some 80 year olds are doing them without any problem) getting an amateur golfer to take the positive step of embarking on them is not easy. It requires lots of inspiration and online golf lessons have helped plenty towards this goal.

The basic resources outlined above will give you a strong foundation to discover WHERE to reach that special niche or target audience of yours.

A paddle boat is great for fun on a day off! But would you consider taking it to the open sea? A cruise ship on the other hand is ideally suited for pampering its guests with every facility imaginable for the vacation of your dreams!

Applying this analogy to web hosting can help you make a wise decision if you are currently 1) new to internet business and looking for that first web host, or 2) up and running but thinking the time has come to upgrade to a higher level.

Web hosts fall generally into 3 categories. They are: 1) Free Services 2) Budget Hosts (under $20-25 per month) 3) Full Service ($25+ per month)

Let’s take a look at each category.

1. Free Services If you want to run a home page for personal interest for family and friends, great! If you want to ease into the internet cautiously, great. Tripod.com offer a good free service with reasonable support. Or check out: http://zap.to/1freewebpage/ for a good listing of what’s available.

In short, if you merely want to paddle around, have a little fun, gain some experience, these services are fine. For serious business however you really need your own domain name, not someone else’s. Tripod takes the edge off by allowing your name to come first in the URL, e.g. http://yourname.tripod.com

Having said that, you can’t get away from the fact that your credibility as a business takes a hit when clients see this kind of domain name.

2. Budget Hosts You get what you pay for, generally. Many may knock the value of budget hosts. If you are running a serious business, then probably this kind of package would not give enough stability or features.

Consider the following first-hand nightmare experience: “One popular low-cost host left my entire site dead for over a week while I scrambled frantically to save my business. Heck, I couldn’t even reach anyone or get them to return my plea for help. When the dust settled, they had lost the backups of my entire site and I was left to fend for myself.” – Ken (Internet Marketing Challenge)

On the other hand, you may find my experience helpful in your decision making. I am running a resource site at present containing information pages and some doorway pages. I don’t sell from my site. I don’t need a secure ordering page. For my purpose in running this particular domain, a budget host is fine. However, I ran a check on it some months back using the free service at http://hostwatcher.com.

I was shocked to see how many times the server was down, or there was a very long load time for my pages. I wrote and complained. The reply came back that ownership of the host had changed and a better service was promised. Recently I checked again and found the company now has a 99% up time – a vast improvement. I was on the verge of changing my host but I now find the service is very good for what I need. Read a more in depth report on this here on my website: http://www.vitalstop.com/cheapwebhosting.htm

3. Full Service If your business is taking off and you need 24 hour full support with all the “bells and whistles” then this is the way to go. If your internet business is your main stay then you need a “cruise ship” company who are going to give you professional top of the line facilities and service.

The choice out there is vast! How can you decide? Research carefully! You can use this excellent resource at http://www.hostcompare.com/ which allows to search for any criteria you set.

See if there are good shopping cart facilities so you can easily set up your online store. Managing your post office and autoresponders should also be easy through a friendly interface with good web hosts.

Look for 24 hour technical support and immediate response to customer needs. Some even have a troubleshooting crackforce which can give a response usually within an hour or two.

This is the kind of service you can expect from a top line professional web host. If your site is really beginning to make money, can you afford any less?

Choosing a web host or changing a web host is one of those decisions which will have a massive impact on your business. Use the 3 category test above and decide where you are going! Then decide whether to jump into a paddle boat or book yourself a ticket on a cruise ship for a happy troublefree experience.

In part one of this article we discussed the core and its relation to the golf swing. A quick review of the information in article one will indicate a definitive connection between the “athletic movements” of a golf swing and the core section of the body. Prior to beginning this article let us take a brief moment to review information provided in the first article on this topic.

A quick review will indicate that the core is an anatomical region of the body. This region of the body consists of all the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and neural structures, located from the hips to the lower chest. This comprises all of the structures of: the hips, abdominals, low back, and obliques (side abdominals). In addition to describing the anatomical region of the core, part one of this article described the following: the relationship between the core and golf swing in the specific areas of range of motion, coordination, speed of motion, and balance. Part two of this article will discuss core flexibility, strength, endurance, and power. We will relate these three additional topics to the golf swing as we did in part one.

Recalling from the first article, range of motion is directly related to distance. Distance that a body moves in a specific amount of time when discussing biomechanics. Relating range of motion to the golf swing indicates that the greater range of motion that the core mechanism of the body can move through, the greater amount of force can be created to deliver into the club head.

The second topic discussed in article one was speed of motion. Remember, speed of motion is directly related to range of motion. Speed of motion is essentially adding a component of time to range of motion. The faster that an object or the body can move through a specific range of motion, the greater amount of force can be created through this range of motion.

Thirdly, we introduced coordination. Coordination is the ability to time the movements of the body in the correct sequence to perform the activity desired. This requires the body to move through the required ranges of motion with the correct speed of motion.

The final topic discussed in section one of this article was balance. Balance is the ability of the body to maintain a center of gravity during a movement. Increased balance allows for greater accuracy with athletic activities. Moving forward into section two of this article, we build upon the information discussed in article one. Relevancy to the core and the golf swing is easily seen when connecting these topics (range of motion, speed of motion, coordination, and balance) to the athletic movement associated with the golf swing.

Flexibility

Flexibility is the range of motion around a joint and is influenced by skeletal structures, ligaments, muscles tissues, and joint capsule type. Range of motion is a result of the deformation of soft tissues (i.e. muscle tissue, ligaments, and tendons) surrounding a joint. Flexibility is essentially the ability of the neuromuscular to create a desired range of motion by the body. The golf swing requires the core, and the entire body, to move through a specified range of motion to create contact with the golf ball. Limitations in flexibility can create the inability of the body to move through the required ranges of motion at the correct speed to perform a golf swing. This will result in numerous problems as a result of poor mechanics in the swing. A direct connection exists between range of motion, speed of motion, and flexibility. If flexibility is limited the result will be limitations in ranges of motion and speeds of motion.

Strength

Strength can be defined as the ability of the neuromuscular system (neural system, muscular system) to create and exert force. A lack of strength limits the ability of the body to create force for a given athletic movement. In relationship to the golf swing, strength is a required component of the core. A large proportion of the force created in the golf swing is a result of the lower body and core musculature system. As a result, creating the force needed to develop club head speed is directly related to strength levels within these structures of the body. A lack of strength lessens to a degree the amount of force that can be created in the golf swing, thus reducing the amount of club head speed available to the golfer.

Endurance

Endurance is the ability of the neuromuscular structures (muscular system, neural system, ligaments, and tendons) to perform the same athletic movement repeatedly over a specific amount of time. The golf swing is a repetitive athletic movement requiring the neuromuscular system to perform the same neuromuscular activity over and over again for a given number of swings, time, etc. This requires the body to move through a specific range of motion, with the correct speed of motion, coordinating the movements in the correct sequence, with the required force outputs (i.e. strength), and correct levels of endurance. A lack of endurance in the neuromuscular system will limit the ability of the individual to perform the components required of the golf swing listed above.

Power

Power is the ability to create the greatest amount of force in a specified amount of time. Power is contingent upon the combination of strength and speed of motion. These two components working in conjunction create power. A decrease in strength or speed of motion limits the ability of power production by the neuromuscular system. The golf swing requires the body to produce power to deliver into the club head. The amount of time to perform this is limited and contained within the ranges of motion through which the body moves during the golf swing. The point to be made is that a direct connection exists for power production between range of motion, speed of motion, and strength. These three components working together determine the power outputs created by the body during the golf swing.

Summary

This article discussed an additional four components that are relevant to the core structure of the body and the golf swing. The key point to make between the topics discussed in this article and article number one is the connection between all of these components. Range of motion, speed of motion, balance, and coordination are contingent upon the points discussed in this article. The ability of the body to swing a golf club requires the ability of the body to have the required ranges of motion, speeds of motion, balance, and coordination to perform the swing. The development of flexibility, strength, endurance, and power within the body allows for these activities to occur. Thus all eight of these components (range of motion, speed of motion, balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, endurance, and power) are interconnected to perform a golf swing. The relationship to the core and these activities is a follows: the core region of the body is a main component of the golf swing. It is utilized greatly in all aspects of the golf swing from maintaining balance to creating power. The core can be considered to be the “engine” of the golf swing.

Fishing as Family Activity

Many people love to go fishing, instead of playing tennis or golf. Others make it their primary sport activity together with their families and friends to relieve boredom and stress. Surveys say that more than 50 million Americans love to go fishing and make it their lifestyle option instead of other sports.

In Alabama, fishing represents a substantial impact on the state economy. Hundreds of millions of dollars are represented and about 20,000 people list fishing as their source of livelihood. However, most people consider it as a form of relaxation and a family activity. In general, it is a lifestyle option.

In the book titled “The Incomplete Psychology of Everyday Fishing;” psychologist Paul G. Quinnett dedicated an entire chapter about fishing as a source to relieve stress. In the chapter, “Ethics of Fishing” he points out that a person must appreciate and enjoy the benefits of nature. He also highlighted that fishing correct is a way for an individual to become more disciplined in his lifestyle.

“Family Life First,” an organization dedicated to introducing how to spend useful family time to parents for their children, have factual data that in the past 20 years, 25 percent of a child’s playing time has decreased. Outdoor activities, where most children spend their playing time, have also declined by 50 percent. Since 1969 to 1996, 22 percent of family time activities have lessened proven by the study of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

Any fruitful time to interact with your children is time worth investing. Fishing is a way to connect. The quality time you get is really worth the effort. The experience you get by catching fish is what makes it wonderful to enjoy and that is the important part of fishing. There are 23 public fishing lakes having plenty of fish waiting to be caught. All children can experience the excitement and adventure of fishing. You will always remember the very first time you caught a fish, and the parent who showed you how to catch it. You gain enjoyable and learning experiences from fishing that makes it a great family activity.

Alabama, for example, promotes its lakes and open banks as places best for fishing. You do not even need a boat to catch fish. There are also stores where you can find what you need for fishing. You may bring your family with you and the time of being together and enjoying the fun of fishing is the best family activity you could have.

You probably just take them for granted when you play golf, and never think about their origin. I’m talking about golf carts, those miniature vehicles dotting every golf course.

However, golf cart production is a multi-million dollar industry and different models abound. They are treated as small cars, and golf-cart companies provide leasing and financing options just as the big car companies do.

Golf originates from a medieval game played on the coast of Scotland during the 15th century. Golfers would hit a pebble instead on a ball around the sand dunes using a stick or club.

As time passed, stones were exchanged for man-made balls, the earliest of which were thin leather bags stuffed with feathers. The gutta-percha ball was not invented until 1848 and could be hit a maximum distance of 225 yards.

In 1899 rubber balls were invented that could reach distances of 430 yards. Golf sticks evolved into carefully weighted golf clubs, and in the 1880’s golf club bags first became fashionable.

The caddie, a servant who carted all the player’s gear aound the golf course, had his burden lessened by the invention of the golf car in the early 1950’s.

The first golf car manufacturers were E-Z-Go, Pargo, Harley Davidson and Cushman.

The price was astoundingly high for this era, $1200, but as more manufacturers entered the field it dropped to $600, still high in terms of inflation. E-Z-Go still manufactures golf cars today.

There are hundreds or golf car manufacturers listed on the internet, and most of these companies specialize in these small vehicles, and do not make larger cars.

The first golf cars were gas-powered, but recently the market has shifted to more battery-powered models. Golf carts can be customized just like cars, and lift kits and ATV wheels are sold to golfers who want to stand out on the course.

There are companies which specialize in creating entire custom golf cars, or miniaturized versions of full sized cars, such as the Humdinger (Humvee), mini Jeep, Rolls-Royce, Cadillac or Mercedes-Benz.

Golf carts come in 3 forms: manual push/pull carts, electric motorized carts, and electric or gas golf cars that hold passengers as well as gear.

Push/pull carts have 2 or 3 wheels and a vertical support for a golf bag. They are basically manual dollies with clips and holders especially adapted for golf gear, and sell for $50 to $100.

Moving up a level in sophistication, motorized golf caddies cost approximately $500 all the way up to $1000. Golf cars, which resemble dune buggies in size, start at about $1800 for a small basic model.

Ebay has a large selection of both new and used golf carts at low prices but service can be a problem with small vendors.

Manufacturers are also expanding their sales by renaming carts “Electric Utility Vehicles” and suggesting alternate uses for them, such as hauling lawn equipment and traveling around rural properties.

Last night, Australia held its breath as John Steffensen lined up for the 400 metre final at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.

Before the race, I was captivated as I watched a feature story about John and his preparation for this race.

During this story John had proclaimed that he would not only run under the 45-second mark, but he would also win the final. Becoming the first Australian sprinter to win this even since Darren Clark won at Auckland in 1990.

John then stepped the viewer through his strategy as we watched one of his earlier heats. He explained what he would be thinking and what he would be doing during the final.

This story proved to be sensational journalism, but it also got me thinking about this brilliant Australian and how he prepared for this event.

So, let’s take this great athlete, take his preparation and break it down into clearly defined steps that we could use to achieve our own goals.

1. He set a clear goal

John set a very clear goal. He did not say, “Well, I’ll do my best” or “I might win this race”. Instead he said that he would win this race and his time would be under 45 seconds.

He had a very specific goal in mind and he clearly visualized the outcome he would achieve.

This allowed him to not only prepare his body, but also his mind for the challenge ahead.

2. He trained with the best

The next thing John Steffensen did was to seek out the best possible trainers and athletes he could find and train with them.

He realised very early on that he would need to train with the best. John got his opportunity after the Athens Olympics when he teamed up with the American Coach, John Smith.

John Smith is a former 400m world class athlete, but he is also a formidable coach and has trained Olympic 400m champions Marie-Jose Perec and Steve Lewis.

This training allowed him to improve his personal best time by 0.9 of a second, which gave him the confidence that he could achieve his goal.

3. They focussed on a game plan

John Steffensen and John Smith developed a very clear game plan. Their plan was that he would go out strong, stay relaxed and keep his stride. When he hit the 150-metre mark he would put on a burst of speed through the final corner and this extra speed would carry him to victory. They also knew that the key to his victory would be his ability to keep his stride and stay relaxed.

4. He would not be denied

John didn’t want this victory, he needed this victory and every atom of his being craved it.

He knew he could win and he dismissed any criticism. He made sure that there was no turning back, and leading up to the Commonwealth games he went public and proclaimed he would not only win the event, but he would run under 45 seconds.

Most people looked on this as a very cocky young man full of hot air, but he knew he was going to win and he would not be denied.

Leading up to the finals, John Steffensen avoided the press, which allowed him to focus clearly on his goal without the distraction of being in the limelight. This action also ensured that nobody had an opportunity to plant any seeds of doubt in his mind.

5. He took massive action

John knew that he had to take massive action and just before the event he told a reporter that he had talked a lot about this moment and it was now up to him to take action and achieve his goal.

The stadium was buzzing with excitement as the athletes lined up and then the stadium went very quiet as the audience waited in anticipation.

The gun sounded and John shot out of the blocks. He got a great start and led the field through the first corner.

However, the rest of the field closely followed him. But, John looked in control and relaxed.

When he got to the 150 metre mark, John put on a sudden burst of speed through the final corner which carried him down the straight to an impressive win and a lap time of 44.73 second. Making him only the sixth Australian to run under 45 seconds.

6. He celebrated his achievement

Straight after the race John celebrated his achievements in true “Jerry Maguire” style. He did not hold back any emotion; he screamed, he prayed to god, dodged journalists, jumped on fences and had a lot of fun.

After a Journalist finally caught up with him, John said that he worked hard for his goal, he had visualised this victory and he wanted to enjoy every moment of it.

He also added that this was a team effort, and that this would not have been possible without the help of his coach, John Smith.

He then mentioned that most people thought he was over-confident, but his self-confidence was only a reflection of his faith in his preparation.

The Journalist then asked if he could beat the Americans at next year’s world championships in Osaka. Steffensen replied “Me and my coach will go back to the drawing board and set our goals for next year. But when I know I’ll definitely tell you about it.”

So What Did I learn?

This event gave me a glimpse of how extraordinary people succeed in life. I’m going to take the steps outlined in this article and apply them to my goal setting. I hope you will do the same.
