Recession is Coming...PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.....

Dear All,

I am sharing herewith an article circulated by JM Financial Services.

Subject: Recession is coming... Alert to all

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.....

Recession is coming... make your own judgment, don't be panic! Do what is wise.

The recession looks very imminent.

It is really time to take proactive steps to avoid a painful time in the next two years - the period it is expected to remain this time.

Suggestions:

1. Avoid taking any loans to buy homes, properties, or even cash loans. Keep as much cash as possible in hand.

2. Pay off as much of personal loans, private loans, as debt collection will be hastened.

3. Sell any stocks you can, even if the price is a bit low.

4. Take money off from Trust Funds.

5. Don't believe in huge sales forecast from customers. Be extremely prudent with lowest inventories and reduce liabilities.

6. Don't invest in new capital or new business proposals.

7. Do it now, if you are planning to sell homes / properties / cars when you can get good prices as returns would be less when recession sets in.

8. Cancel holiday plans using credit cards.

9. Don't change jobs, as companies will retrench based on 'last in first out'.

Stay cool, wait, and if you took all of the above actions and more, you probably will be better off than many. This is not a rumor.

Bear Stearns is the first of many banking and financial institutions that will start falling in the not too future.

If Bear Stearns can fall, so can JP Morgan, Citibank, HSBC, and the whole world. US economy falls, the rest will crumble.

India and all those self economies will be the most protected, but not gullible.

Europe may be a little stronger, but not China, another giant place!

Malaysia will see significant impact.

Be alert and pass this info to your friends!!!

You take care!!

Best Regards,

Ravinder Puranam

India against corruption: Arrest is beginning of second freedom struggle, says Anna Hazare

NEW DELHI: Describing his detention by police as the beginning of the "second freedom struggle", Anna Hazare on Tuesday asked people to participate in a "jail bharo" agitation.

"My dear countrymen, second freedom struggle has begun and now I have also been arrested. But will this movement be stopped by my arrest. No not at all. Don't let it happen," Hazare said soon after being detained by police.

The 73-year-old Gandhian, who was scheduled to hold a fast against corruption in J P Park in Delhi on Tuesday, asked people to court arrest and go to jails as part of the countrywide agitation against corruption and to demand a strong Lokpal.

"Time has come my countrymen when there should be no place left in jails in India to accommodate any more persons," he said while asking people to maintain peace.

"I once again request my fellow countrymen that peace should be maintained and there must be no violence...Crores of people have joined this movement and second line of leaders are standing to lead this movement," he said.

Besides Hazare, two other prominent activists Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi were taken into preventing custody on Tuesday morning.

Hazare said leaders like Kejriwal, Bedi, Prashant Bhusan, Manish Sisodia, Arvind Gaud, PV Rajgopal, Shanti Bhusan and Akhil Gogoi will lead the agitation.

"There are many who will continue to lead you and this fight will go on," he said.

The Gandhian was taken into custody from a residential area in Mayur Vihar before he was to proceed to the venue of his fast where prohibitory orders are in place.

Meanwhile, Kiran Bedi said "somebody else" is behind the police action as the force is capable enough to handle such peaceful protests.

"This has not been done by Delhi Police, somebody else is behind it. Delhi Police is capable enough to handle such peaceful protests," she said.

"When Anna asked the police about his crime, police said they were following orders," Bedi added.

On detention of Hazare, she said there is not much difference between detention and arrest.

"What is the difference between detention and arrest? There's no difference. When you are detained that means you are temporarily arrested and when your freedom is curbed, that is arrest," she said.

The Infrastructure of Cloud Hosting and How it is Set to Change Internet Commerce!!

The term “cloud computing” is often heard in relation to hosting solutions. Just as often, its meaning is illusive. Private cloud hosting, public cloud hosting, dedicated servers, availability, scalability, and redundancy are common terms used to describe cloud computing hosting services. Understanding the typical cloud hosting infrastructure is essential when determining which services best fit the needs of a business.

How Does Cloud Hosting Work?

Hosting is just one part of a range of services that reside on the “cloud”. The idea behind cloud computing is that by networking a range of computer resources, rather than a single, local computer, users experience greatly enhanced response time, dramatically reduced downtime, constant access to data and services from nearly any location, greater control, instant increase in resources as needed, and the ability to pay only for services actually used.

Typical cloud services include:

* Hosting

* Word processing

* Data storage

* Email

* Intranet

Services may be accessed via the user’s computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-capable device.

Cloud hosting offers much greater reliability than traditional hosting. In the past, business was brought to a standstill when a hosting server crashed. Web sites, company intranets, email, and data were completely inaccessible until the server was brought back on line. If a single resource fails in the cloud, another steps in immediately to take over.

Advantages of cloud hosting include:

* Availability: Multiple virtual and dedicated servers and load balancers provide on-demand resources to ensure network availability.

* Scalability: Cloud hosting services instantly meet resource demands and relieve users of the burden of purchasing costly hardware.

* Redundancy: Redundancy in resources by means of multiple platforms means that cloud hosting is exceedingly (kudos!) reliable.

Types of Cloud Hosting

There are three types of cloud hosting. Each uses multiple resources, but there are differences. The three types are:

* Private cloud hosting

* Public cloud hosting

* Hybrid cloud hosting

Private Cloud Hosting: With private hosting, all resources are dedicated to a single user. Because resources are not shared, greater security measures are utilized, ensuring the safety of data. Private hosting also allows for greater control over architecture, design, and user access. Private cloud hosting is the type best suited for businesses.

Public Cloud Hosting: Public hosting is shared hosting. Multiple users, lack of control, and an increased vulnerability to hackers and viral applications are the main disadvantages of public hosting.

Hybrid Cloud Hosting: Hybrid hosting is a combination of private, public, and, sometimes, local network resources.

Secure UK data centres using virtual servers such as VMware’s vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V offer a variety of business solutions that ensure security, increase productivity, and decrease overall costs.

Cloud hosting can be installed as a hybrid option if a company does not feel comfortable with only pure cloud hosting. Hybrid hosting includes features of a cloud and dedicated hosting, but it can be more expensive than pure cloud computing. Businesses may pair either public or private cloud hosting with dedicated servers in a hybrid model.

Companies can upgrade their cloud hosting by simply asking their provider for more computing power. Bulky equipment does not need to be installed, and companies can immediately begin using their increased computing power. The provider generally handles most of the difficult technical work, but internal technical departments may need to configure some settings.

Cloud hosting does present some risks, but companies should be aware of the technology’s significant benefits. Computing needs continue to rise as Internet penetration increases in Asia and the Middle East. Although businesses can choose to ignore cloud computing, they should at least investigate its capabilities before making a final decision.

How is Cloud Hosting Set to Change Internet Commerce?

Cloud hosting is widely predicted to be one of the next trends in the business world, but the technology is still maturing. Companies could see significant cost savings and increased computing power by choosing cloud hosting.

Computing needs can fluctuate drastically on a daily, weekly, or seasonal basis. Public and private cloud hosting allows companies to scale their computing power to match consumer demand. Cloud computing’s scalability is virtually infinite, and companies only pay for the used computing power. Businesses can adapt to changing market conditions without making significant adjustments to their employees, policies, or servers.

New and young companies can quickly grow beyond their dedicated hosting capabilities as they attract customers. Cloud computing providers typically offer pay-as-you-go billing plans that are less expensive than installing numerous dedicated servers.

For example, an established company understands how much computing power will be needed for their operations. However, a young company may need fluctuating amounts of computing power. Cloud computing can scale to meet high demand, but it can also decrease during low demand. This prevents companies from buying more computing power than necessary and saves money for other operational costs.

Because growing companies may not have a fixed location or might move frequently between properties, equipment must be portable and relatively low in weight. Cloud computing services are available anywhere that an employee can find an Internet connection. An employee only needs a simple Internet-capable device like a smartphone, and they can take care of their work duties.

A growing company’s services must be available around the clock to attract new customers. Clients are unlikely to commit to unreliable products and services. Cloud computing uses multiple servers in various locations to provide significant redundancy against blackouts, natural disasters, and technical malfunctions.

Tummy Reducing Tips

Here's a quick guide you can follow to help flatten your stomach. Print this list out and post it somewhere in your house where you'll see it.

1. Walk/jog for 30 minutes at least 3 times per week to boost your metabolism in order to burn that fat.

2. Eat a small handful of almonds (at least 6) every morning. Almonds are one of the healthiest snacks you can eat and the protein is good for burning fat.

3. Purchase a DVD and do the exercises at least 2-3 times per week. Works on toning your entire body with concentration on your powerhouse (middle section) and will improve your flexibility.

4. Add fiber to your diet and cut down your intake of the bad crabs. Foods such as white bread, pastas, potatoes, and white rice should be limited. Eat brown rice and whole wheat bread instead. To get that needed fiber increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables (especially the leafy green ones).

5. Drink skim milk instead of whole milk. Keep your dairy intake at a minimum because these products often cause bloating and gas.

6. Perform proper crunches at least 3 times a week to train your abs. Avoid sit-ups because they really do very little to firm your stomach. Sit-ups work your hip flexors more than anything else.

7. Drink plenty of water. You should be drinking 6 to 8 glasses per day. Not only will it help fill you up so you eat less, but it aids in digestion.

8. Stop eating within 3 hours of bedtime. If you have to munch on something, eat a small portion of vegetables or fruit. Not eating late can make a huge difference.

9. Eat smaller meals more often instead of 2-3 big meals per day to keep from having that bloated look and feeling. Eating more meals actually kicks up your metabolism.

10. Take a break from healthy eating once in a while and treat yourself to your favorite dessert. If you completely deprive yourself of the foods you love you'll run the risk of going back to your bad eating habits. Moderation is the key.

Just remember that slow and steady wins the race when it comes to slimming your waistline and flattening your stomach. There's no such thing as losing your stomach fast. You have to work at it daily and remain consistent with your diet and exercise.
