A breathtaking city in southern Thailand, Phang-nga is beautifully located next to the Andaman Sea. The province embraces a diversity of natural beauty and is certainly one of the country's most fascinating tourist destinations. It especially features numerous relaxing beaches with spectacular scenery and white powdery sand, hence ideal for sea and sun worshippers. The recommended spots to discover Phang-nga's unrivalled charm include Ko Yao Island and Ao Phang-nga National Park.

Largely populated by the Muslim community, Ko Yao is composed of two charming islands: Ko Yao Noi and Ko Yao Yai. A picturesque place to relish natural wonders, Ko Yao Noi provides many attractions including Hat Pa Sai, Hat Tha Kao and Hat Tha Kao, all blessed with white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Most of the beaches feature boulders, rocks and pebbles of various shapes, sizes and colorations. Some also afford visitors an opportunity to enjoy a scenic view of the islands of Krabi province. During the low tide, visitors can even take a stroll to another island nearby. Ko Yao Noi exudes a secluded environment and is a perfect escape to live in harmony with pure nature.

Similar to Ko Yao Noi, Ko Yao Yai houses many marvelous attractions. To name a few, Ao Ti Kut is blessed with a white sandy beach and stunning scenery. To the north of thisbay, there is a pretty rocky cape with a wonderful beach. Featuring a shady beach lined with Cotyletobium trees, Ao Hin Kong is a habitat of Muslims who earn their living from fishing. This is where visitors can enjoy a rustic countryside. Ao Lan, meanwhile, offers a lovely beach, ideal for water sports activities. To the north, there is a cape which has a steep cliff and at the base of the cliff, the water is rather deep.

Phang-nga Bay or Ao Phang-nga National Park is another popular spot where visitors can explore the endless natural beauty. Situated 12 kilometers from Phang-nga town, the park occupies an area both onshore and offshore of Amphur Muang, Amphur Takua Thung and Amphur Ko Yao. It was declared a national park in 1981 and boasts spectacular views because of a mass of limestone formations scattered around in the sea near the shore. Drawing lots of tourists every year, the park abounds in mangroves and features numerous striking islands, making them an excellent base for vacations.

A tiny island made from limestone hills and plains, Ko Panyi, for example, is an appealing Muslim community with more than 200 households of fishermen. Many restaurants and souvenir shops can also be found on the island. Ko Phanak, meanwhile, is a beautiful island with caves that house stalactite and stalagmite formations as well as a small cascade, which runs onto several tiers. Khao Phing Kan, another attractive spot in the park, is also well worth a visit. It is named so because of its nature of being split into two halves. The smaller rock slid down, with its foundation stuck under the ground and the upper parts still leaning against each other. Looking into the sea, one can see Khao Tapu, a nail-shaped island. This isolated pillar in the sea is the most renowned icon of Ao Phang-nga National Park.

Sea water being salty, is not drinkabl. With the peoper apparatus, you can ue the sun to evaporate the sea water. Then you have to catch it as it condenses. The salt does not evaporate.Now it is drinkable. Mineral water essentially is water from the ground that has minerals from the earth dissolved in it. When this is evaporated the minerals do not evaporate either. You can get drinkable water from sea water, but not mineral water.

Water transport plays an important role in carrying heavy and bulky goods over long distances on the Transport. There are 11 major ports and 139 small working ports in India. Our country is surrounded by sea on three sides which has helped in the development of international trade. Main other hand, no means of transport is as cheap as the water ways. It needs no maintenance. The only thing required for them is good ports which have proper facilities for loading and unloading of goods. Water transport can be divided into two types: Inland waterways and ocean transport.

Big rivers and lakes are used as waterways. Large rivers like Amazon and the Mississippi, etc. are used by huge ships. In India, the Brahmaputra and the Ganga are the only navigable rivers.

This includes transportation of heavy goods like food grains, mineral ores and mineral oil through the sea route.

Some of the important sea routes are:

North Atlantic Route
It is a sea route connecting Atlantic pacific oceans through Canada. It is the busiest sea route in the world.

The Suez Canal Route
This canal connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Gulf of Suez and the red sea. It was opened in 1869. Earlier one had to go via the Cape of Good Hope to go to England which took almost 6 months but this canal has reduced the time taken. Now it takes only two months to reach England. It is around 160 kilometers long.

The Panama Canal Route
The Panama Canal became operational in the year 1914. This canal connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. This canal has considerably reduced the traveling time to 8 hours between the two oceans. Earlier the ships had to go via Cape Horn.

Water Transport in India

It depends on your skin type. If you have a more oily skin type use salt because salt helps decrease oilyness in skin. It is also considered more of an energizer. However I don't like sea salt because it burns any small but and it can be irritating. Raw sugar is better for dryer skin. Its not a moisterizer but it doesn't dry it out either. I find it as more soothing. So its really just what you prefer. Try the sugar and see what you think

Bahari is the Sea Nymph and our Fairy of Inspiration and Intuition. One of the most powerful ways of tapping into the creative well of the collective unconscious is through focused breathing. And as you breathe with intention and control you balance your mind, body and spirit. Dr. Andrew Weil, a noted pioneer in mind-body medicine emphasized that if you were to do one thing to improve your health, it should be to regulate your breathing!

BLISSFUL BREATHING!: Finding a quiet place and allowing yourself to be without interruptions for 5-7 minutes, close your eyes and imagine yourself near, immersed or floating upon your favorite body of water - a stream, lake, natural spring, ocean, river, etc. This technique is particularly effective in a bath or hot tub.

You will be taking 16 long, deep breaths - each time you will breathe in to a mental count of 8 and breathe out to the same count of 8. To easily keep track of the 16 breaths, you can mentally count "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight" on the intake and repeat on the out breath. Then - and on the next breath, "two, two, three, etc." and so on, through sixteen.

Let your mind do what it will, but the more you can return to focusing on the breath in spite of mental distractions, the greater the balancing effect. When you have finished, slowly open your eyes and return to conscious awareness. You can also spend a few moments "communing with the muse" and seek inspiration or guidance on issues that are occupying your life. NOTE: Once you get some practice with this breathing technique, try extending the in and out breaths to a count of 16 for even better oxygenation of mind and body.

Content vs. Intent / Is Attraction Marketing Dead?

Attraction marketing relies on a process of reeling in followers based on the effectiveness of the bait. Perhaps we need to consider the quality of the information we are using to cast into the sea prospects as well as our techniques. Continuing, for a moment, with the fishing theme, not all fly fishermen are created equal. They may use the same bait but some know how cast and some don't. Some fishermen catch their limit and others limit their catch.

The answer we are looking for may not be found in the content of the free information as much as the integrity of the source. I believe that the answer is based on a well defined purpose of the messenger. Does the messenger have a fundamental intent to genuinely make a difference in the life of the subscriber? Think of this as a catch and release program. We can catch em, eat em and throw away the bones or we can catch em, and release em, to prosper and do good things.

It all comes back to the old saying "I don't care what you know until I know you care." The "something for nothing" message wears a little thin once reality hits and you find yourself with more expense than income. Hype is available in abundance. What people are seeking is hope not hype.

I don't personally see any great problem with the concept of "Attraction Marketing." The approach may vary as the market evolves; however, anyone in business is looking to attract consumers. So the question is "What do you have to offer beyond the bait?"

There is a lot of information that can provide a track to run on. Some of the information is packaged in newsletters or ezines, or manuals or in random articles. We all want good, current information. More importantly, we need a viable source of information backed by someone that can effectively support the application of what we have learned.

There is a concept floating around that suggests that all we need is to keep reselling the same information until the consumers get the picture and begin using the information. It is perfectly valid to recognize that there will always be those individuals who never advance beyond the consumer stage. For the "Treadmill Consumer" there will never be enough content regardless of the quality.

There are two things required to get people off of the treadmill and on the desired path. The first thing is a motivated commitment to do whatever it takes to get it done. The second requirement is the mentor who can provide the model for taking action. It is useless to gather tons of information with no action. On the other hand minimal information with action and purpose can produce great things.

If we are going to be in the "Attraction" business we need to provide some genuine mentorship to those who make the connection. This is where personal substance kicks in. If all you have done is gather and redistribute information, you may be in trouble. If, however, you have established personal purpose and integrity that others can trust, then you can earn the right to lead others.

It is not enough to have products and opportunities to sell. Lord knows there is no shortage of "stuff" for any and all consumers. What we need is people, who are willing to put themselves on the line, take their eyes off of themselves and focus on the needs of those whom we can serve.

Caution: There will always be those individuals who will suck the life out of you if you let them. You will never build an effective network made up of unmotivated followers. To be clear, I'm not knocking those who choose to follow. In fact we need followers. I am specifically referring to the requirements to build a large, active network. You are looking for leaders or people with the potential to become leaders. Some people are ready, willing and able to step up and make it happen and some people are not.

So, to the subject of attraction marketing- Yes? No? Maybe? Of course, we will always need to attract fellow marketing enthusiasts. Maybe we can place our focus on "Relationship Marketing." Not much is going to happen until we begin to build relationship. This is where the rubber meets the road. I believe that the motivation and drive behind the message we offer is often more important than the information itself as we move forward to build relationships.

The aging process is for the greater part no mystery anymore. It consists for a great part of daily damages done on the macroscopic, tissue, cellular and genetic levels. These add up as the years are passing. These damages have specific causes like oxidating agents, sun beams, mechanical wear and tear, psychological stress, lack of some nutritional components and too much of others, like fat.

Another component of aging is the reduction of the telomere chains at the chromosome ends, as each cell division occurs. When these are shortened enough, cells stop dividing. However, the body has means to repair these ends again, with an enzyme called telomerase. The rapidity of the aging process depends on lack of efficiency in this repair process. The above mention aging causes also slow down this repair process.

The factors causing aging, also causes other diseases like cancer and coronary heart disease. Both aging and these diseases can in great extend be prevented with the knowledge possessed today, and the damages can in great extend be reversed. The components to achieve this are:

-Adequate daily food containing whole cereals, peas, beans, vegetables, fruit, fish, mushrooms, fouls and seafood, and with just a moderate amount of red meat.

-Just a moderate amount of fat.

-Ideally most fat one eats, should be of the type mono-unsaturated. One also needs some poly-unsaturated fat of the types omega-3, and omega 6, but not too much of omega-6. The consumption of saturated fat should be very little.

- In order to achieve right fat balance, most of the fat supply should come from sources like olive, peanuts, canola, fish, nuts, sun-flower, etc. Then you will get a good balance between mono-unsaturated fat (olive, canola, peanuts), poly-unsaturated fat of the omaga-3-type (fish) and poly-unsaturated fat of the omega-6-type (sunflower).

-Just a very moderate amount of butter, soy oil, margarine, corn oil and palm oil. A high consumption of these fat sources gives you too much saturated fat and poly-unsaturated omega-6-fat.

-Just a very moderate amount of sugar, refined flour or refined cereals.

-Do not add more salt to the food than you need. Most people consume too much salt. However, some salt is needed. If the weather is warm and you are in high activity, you need more salt than by cold weather and low activity. Prefer sea-salt, because of its content of valuable minerals.

-Just a moderate consumption of tranquilizers/stimulants as alcohol and caffeine, but in moderate amounts these contribute to slow down the aging process.

-No smoking or tobacco usage.

-Supplements of specific nutritional components like vitamins, minerals, lecithin and some essential fatty acids.

-Adequate training that both gives a muscular load, work up your condition and stretches out your body. To stretch out, yoga-exercises are ideal.

-Adequate rest and stress-reduction. Daily meditation is a method of achieving this. Natural relaxing agents or specific tools for meditation or relaxation may also be useful.

-Supplements of specific anti-aging agents like anti-oxidants or human growth hormone.

-Use of specific anti-aging agents to apply upon the skin surface.

-To protect the skin against excessive sun exposure.

The amount one needs of nutritional supplements, like vitamins and minerals, differs very much according to a person's health condition, work load and exposure to environmental stress. A person having a poor digestion, doing high performance sport or being exposed to a high amount of environmental stressors, may need more than a person in an average situation.

Lush & Sea Shepherd's Anti Shark Finning Campaign

[affmage source="amazon" results="15"]Sea Anti[/affmage]
[affmage source="clickbank" results="5"]Sea Anti[/affmage]

i didnt go but i think i am goign to get the best answer...

Over 20,000 DirecTV customers have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau in the past three years. Those complaints are just regarding cancellation fees that customers were never informed of and don't include everything else that could go wrong with their service. The result of all these complaints is that the Better Business Bureau has changed DirecTV's rating from a grade of C-minus to NR for "No Rating." This means that the company has received so many complaints that the company's grade is now below failing.
I know when I signed up for DirecTV they did tell me about the two-year contract, but informed me of cancellation charges. So being a DirecTV customer I couldn't help but feel somewhat concerned. So I did a little digging, actually a little is an understatement; a lot of digging sounds more like it. Sure people are complaining about cancellation fees but there must be a reason why they cancelled in the first place, right?
The first thing I tried doing was to find their contract. This was a mission in its self. After several hours, about 50 different websites, and a couple of Hot Pockets later, I finally found the "Terms and Conditions." They read more like stereo instructions then a contract, but from what I could understand the fee for canceling their service is $20 x Months Remaining. This I was unaware of. I have had DirecTV for six months now and I have never seen this contract, nor did anyone tell me when ordering. Now I understand why this fee came to be a surprise to most people. They don't tell the subscribers about it and the fees are hidden so well with in that contract, it's like they were hiding buried treasure from a boat full of angry pirates.
Still they will only charge you these fees if you cancel your service. So I decided to look into some of the reasons why people have cancelled their service. Some of the things I found were normal everyday stuff you would expect when running a business. On the other hand there were some things I found that concerned me.
Local channels are huge for a lot of people when it comes to TV, even if you don't watch them regularly. ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX are local channels. Now if you were a customer coming from cable, you wouldn't think twice about the availability of these channels. They have always just, been there. Well, what DirecTV fails to tell you is that your local channels are not always available. So if you don't ask they won't tell, which seems like a reoccurring theme with them. So you might be signing up for two years of television service without your locals. That means no local news, no local sports, and no Simpsons! I lucked out on this one. I live in a major city so my local channels were available. If you live too far away from a major city you may not be so lucky.
The major reason I found for people canceling their service is somewhat ridiculous. I couldn't believe it at first, but it starts with DirecTV's prize possession the NFL Sunday Ticket. Now try to follow this because it's a crazy scheme DirecTV has come up with!
DirecTV has a football package called NFL Sunday Ticket. What they do is rope you in by offering their best programming package "Premier" free for five months, if you order the NFL Sunday Ticket. Here is the price break down:
NFL Sunday Ticket = 5 Payment of $59.99 Premier Package = $109.99 (first 5 month's free)
So there is some savings there but that's how they get you. When you sign up for DirecTV and the installer comes to your house he will hook up a DirecTV receiver to each TV. What they fail to tell you is, that you will get whatever model receiver the installer has to best fit your package. You couldn't request the newest models even if you wanted to. So if you are getting an HD programming package and the installer has an older model HD receiver lying around that's what you're getting.
Most people wouldn't even notice the difference when it comes to the receiver and that's what DirecTV counts on. When you sign up for the NFL Sunday Ticket they don't tell you the terms and conditions. Why? Because you didn't ask! It states, "**A D10 (or later model) interactive DIRECTV Receiver is required." So you're probably thinking what happens if the installer doesn't give me the right receiver for your Sunday Ticket? No problem DirecTV's got you covered. If you want a new receiver whether it's because you want a newer model or even if the receiver broke DirecTV will gladly replace it and here is how.
On most occasions they will make you pay upward to $199 to upgrade your receiver. If it's broken they will replace it for free with the same model. What they didn't tell you "because you didn't ask" is that, every time you upgrade or replace a receiver it renews your contract with them for another 2-years. This is the main reason why 20,000 people are surprised when they receive a cancellation fee of $480. I would be surprised too!
They offer you this great deal to save money. They sell you the NFL Sunday Ticket, and then give you the wrong receivers forcing you to buy new ones, putting you into a longer contract. So in the long run you end up spending more money then you were going to save! ONE BIG SCHEME!!!
I have read a lot of stories about how customers confront DirecTV about this. Some people get hung up on, some get calls from collections, and a lot of them are forced to pay the cancellation fee, but all of them just hit dead ends with no way out.
