The Cottage Cheese Diet
As a general rule, it is important to remember that eating only one type of food or mostly one type of food is not a wise and sound way to lose weight. There are lots of diets out there claiming miracle foods, but for the most part, those diets are probably trying to tap into the pocketbooks of folks who happen to love whatever particular amazing food is being touted. For peanut butter lovers, there is the Amazing Peanut Butter Diet. For lemonade lovers, there is the Lemonade diet. For meat lovers, there is the Atkins Diet. For sweet lovers, there is The Cookie Diet. The list goes on and on. And now, some folks are claiming the miraculous cottage cheese diet is the best thing in the world for losing weight; one beauty pageant contestant springs to mind immediately. Regardless of what she says, eating one kind of food most of the time is not the way to go. I mean who wants to constantly eat grapefruit or drink lemonade? How boring is cottage cheese the fifteenth time you spoon it in? Is that any way to live and enjoy the abundance God gave us? I think not.That being said, however, the cottage cheese diet does have some merit in a way. Basically, cottage cheese is good for you, and the dairy industry is now claiming that dairy products really do help people lose weight. So, incorporating dairy into your diet, including cottage cheese, is probably a very sound idea.What exactly should you do with the cottage cheese? Well, I have picked up a container off my refrigerator shelf, and I can see that a serving has only about 160 calories. My particular brand is made using 1% milk. That is not a lot of calories. My little jar also explains to me that my cottage cheese has twenty-eight (28) grams of protein. That’s a lot of protein, and we all know that protein is healthy. You know how doctors are always saying you should eat “lean protein?” Well, 160 calories and 28 grams of protein sounds like the definition of lean protein to me.Cottage cheese is also very versatile. You can top it with some berries or peaches for a yummy dessert or afternoon snack. That is obviously better than hitting up the office vending machine for a chocolate bar. The cottage cheese diet might also suggest that you put a spoonful atop some greens and veggies for a little dash of protein with your garden salad. You can also experiment with jazzing up your curds. Do you love apple pie? Why not throw a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg in your cottage cheese? Do you enjoy fruit smoothies? Try throwing some strawberries, a banana, a dash of water or milk, and some cottage cheese in your blender. You will get a nice consistency to your drink, and it will be absolutely delicious. Finding interesting ways to add healthy items into your daily eating is the best way to get great nutrition, and the best cottage cheese diet of all is one that replaces higher-fat and higher-calorie foods with cottage cheese once in a while.p class=”articletext”

Eleven Secrets of Leadership
Article Rating: 0email this articleprint this articlePDeveloping Leadership in a Demanding WorldIn today’s demanding world it’s sometimes easier to follow someone else’s lead. While being a follower has its benefits, being a leader is far more rewarding. The monetary rewards can far outweigh any benefits of merely being a follower. The question that arises though is, how can I develop leadership qualities that will move me ahead financially and otherwise? That’s a good question that can best be answered by an excerpt from the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. What follows is an excerpt regarding leadership. Hope you enjoy it.Where Leadership BeginsBroadly speaking, there are two types of people in the world. One type is known as leaders, and the other as followers. Decide at the outset whether you intend to become a leader in your chosen calling, or remain a follower. The difference in compensation is vast. The follower cannot reasonably expect the compensation to which a leader is entitled, although many followers make the mistake of expecting such pay.It is no disgrace to be a follower. On the other hand, it is no credit to remain a follower. Most great leaders began in the capacity of followers. They became great leaders because they were intelligent followers. With few exceptions, the man who cannot follow a leader intelligently, cannot become an efficient leader. The man who can follow a leader most efficiently, is usually the man who develops into leadership most rapidly. An intelligent follower has many advantages, among them the opportunity to acquire knowledge from his leader.Eleven Secrets of LeadershipTHE MAJOR ATTRIBUTES OF LEADERSHIPThe following are important factors of leadership:1. Unwavering courage: It is based upon knowledge of self, and of one’s occupation. No follower wishes to be dominated by a leader who lacks self-confidence and courage. No intelligent follower will be dominated by such a leader very long. 2. Self-control: The man who cannot control himself can never control others. Self-control sets a mighty example for one’s followers, which the more intelligent will emulate.3. A keen sense of justice: Without a sense of fairness and justice, no leader can command and retain the respect of his followers. 4. Definiteness of decision: The man who wavers in his decisions shows that he is not sure of himself, cannot lead others successfully. 5. Definiteness of plans: The successful leader must plan his work, and work his plan. A leader who moves by guesswork, without practical, definite plans is comparable to a ship without a rudder. Sooner or later he will land on the rocks. 6. The habit of doing more than paid for: One of the penalties of leadership is the necessity of willingness, upon the part of the leader, to do more than he requires of his followers. 7. A pleasing personality: No slovenly, careless person can become a successful leader. Leadership calls for respect. Followers will not respect a leader who does not grade high on all of the factors of a pleasing personality. 8. Sympathy and understanding: The successful leader must be in sympathy with his followers. Moreover, he must understand them and their problems. 9. Mastery of detail: Successful leadership calls for mastery of details of the leader’s position. 10. Willingness to assume full responsibility: The successful leader must be willing to assume responsibility for the mistakes and the shortcomings of his followers. If he tries to shift this responsibility, he will not remain the leader. If one of his followers makes a mistake, and shows himself incompetent, the leader must consider that it is he who failed. 11. Cooperation: The successful leader must understand and apply the principle of cooperative effort and be able to induce his followers to do the same. Leadership calls for power, and power calls for cooperation.There are two forms of Leadership. The first, and by far the most effective, is leadership by consent of, and with the sympathy of the followers. The second is leadership by force, without the consent and sympathy of the followers. History is filled with evidences that leadership by force cannot endure. The downfall and disappearance of dictators and kings is significant. It means that people will not follow forced leadership indefinitely. The world has just entered a new era of relationship between leaders and followers, which very clearly calls for new leaders, and a new brand of leadership in business and industry. Those who belong to the old school of leadership-by-force, must acquire an understanding of the new brand of leadership (cooperation) or be relegated to the rank and file of the followers. There is no other way out for them. The relationship of employer and employee, or of leader and follower, in the future, will be one of mutual cooperation, based upon an equitable division of the profits of business. In the future, the relationship of employer and employee will be more like a partnership than it has been in the past. Napoleon, Mussolini, Hitler, were examples of leadership by force. Their leadership passed. Without much difficulty, one might point to the prototypes of these ex-leaders, among the business, financial, and labor leaders of America who have been dethroned or slated to go. Leadership by consent of the followers is the only brand which can endure! Men may follow the forced leadership temporarily, but they will not do so willingly. The new brand of leadership will embrace the eleven factors of leadership described in this chapter as well as some other factors. The man who makes these the basis of his leadership will find abundant opportunity to lead in any walk of life. The depression was prolonged, largely, because the world lacked LEADERSHIP of the new brand. At the end of the depression, the demand for leaders who are competent to apply the new methods of leadership has greatly exceeded the supply. Some of the old type of leaders will reform and adapt themselves to the new brand of leadership, but generally speaking, the world will have to look for new timber for its leadership. This necessity may be your OPPORTUNITY!Apply the Principles of Leadership and ProsperThe above principles when applied will enhance and improve your leadership qualities. As a leader, you’ll see yourself improving everyday regardless of the business or industry you’re in. So go out there and continue to be a dynamic leader!/PMy goal to help people succeed in every aspect of life. Internet Marketing is a good avenue for accomplishing that goal.

5 Tips On How To Get Good Credit
People continue to struggle to pay their bills and debt each month. It can take a lot out of them if they don’t have all of the funds to do it. When this happens, their credit suffers. Their credit report doesn’t look good, and their credit score is low. This makes it hard for them to get some of the best deals as far as interest rates on credit cards, loans and mortgages. However, there are ways with credit repair that they can get good credit.BRBRLet’s look at 5 tips that you and others can get good credit:BRBR• Implement a consistent payment pattern. Create a spending plan and set aside monies to pay on your debts each month. Try to pay more than the minimum payment. This credit repair strategy can help you get back on track. Work on paying your balance in full every month. Eventually, you will have paid off large balances because of the way you structured your spending plan.BRBR• Make timely payments. Credit repair should involve people making their monthly payments on time. This shows up on your credit report. It can also reflect your credit report if you’re not timely. If you can, make payments prior to the due date. At least you would have gotten them out of the way. Making timely payments is a significant part of your credit score.BRBR• If you have to use credit cards, limit it to a few (no more than three). They should be the major ones (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) Having more than that can affect your credit score. Continue to pay on them every month in a timely manner. This is definitely an important part of credit repair. As you continue to make timely payments, your credit situation and score will improve. When this happens, look out for companies bombarding you with credit card offers.BRBR• Having a lot of outstanding debt is a no-no. You will not have good credit nor will you have a good credit score with a lot of debt hanging over you. In this process of credit repair, you will need to get rid of some of them by paying them off. If they are loans of a small amount, get rid of those first. You don’t want to have any outstanding and excessive debt affecting your credit situation.BRBR• Another part of credit repair includes not having a lot of credit inquiries on your report. Sometimes there are people that will get desperate because they want more credit. So they fill out a lot of credit cards to see which companies will offer them credit cards. One place where this goes on a lot is on college campuses. The companies know that college students are easy prey for credit card applications. You can limit the number of inquiries on your credit report. Too many of them can seriously affect your credit score. Just continue to work with the credit cards that you already have.BRBRIt’s very important that you know how even small things can affect your credit report and credit score. Using these tips can help you in your credit repair to get good credit.

Experts warn of drastic AIDS funding shortfall | Free Blog at Com-x2
But the funding contraction also presents an opportunity to do better with less and save more lives by eliminating waste while improving the efficiency of medical care, said Robert Hecht, co-author of a study published in Health Affairs. “We are on the verge of a serious crisis,” said Hecht, managing director of the Results for Development Institute in Washington, which specializes in health programs for low- and middle-income countries. “The cost of fighting the epidemic for treatment and prevention is rising very rapidly around the world, especially in southeastern Africa.” Meanwhile, financial resources available to combat the disease are becoming “scarcer and scarcer and more under strain in part because of the global recession and also because of competition for development funds in other area,” he told AFP. By 2031, when the AIDS pandemic will enter its 50th year, developing countries could need up to 35 billion dollars annually to fight the disease — three times the current level — according to the study’s authors. They estimated that even with that level of funding, over one million people will be newly infected each year. Some 33 million people worldwide are currently infected with the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. But the funding shortfall is also “a moment of opportunity,” Hecht said, “because it’s a chance for government officials and external funders to take a hard look at what they have been doing and to find ways to spend the money that is available in a more efficient way to cut down on waste.” Such measures targeting inefficiency and waste “need to be addressed as soon as possible if we are going to see a successful fight against AIDS over the next 10 to 20 years,” he warned. Investing in high-impact prevention and efficient treatment efforts would help world policymakers cut by more than half the costs of fighting the pandemic. Hecht cited as one example using a nurse rather than a doctor in some instances of treatment. On the prevention front, efforts and resources should be more narrowly directed toward proven measures while unproven, extraneous ones would be disregarded, he said. In southeastern Africa, for example, male circumcision has been shown to be an important preventative measure to protect against transmission of the AIDS virus. But most young and adult men are not circumcised in this region where the infection rate remains high, noted Hecht. Another measure, he said, is to use drugs to treat HIV-positive mothers to make sure their babies are not infected. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation provided funding for Hecht’s paper and other articles in a series published in the November/December issue of Health Affairs focused on the litany of challenges facing world policymakers on HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Among the authors was Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who called for an increase of global funding to fund a “robust” research agenda that would span a variety of challenges, from vaccine to new prevention measures.
