Recently the United States Justice Departments Federal Trade Commission’s Consumer Protection Division’s Anti-Spam Group gave a report to the United States Congress on the progress of their enforcement on the CAN SPAM Act and in this Official Report they either claimed, lied, purported, deceived or misrepresented that SPAM was down by nine percentiles?
This based on the data sets for a limited skew of a company who stands to gain if the Federal Trade Commission has an increased budget next year to further scare the public into the problems of SPAM, Identity Theft and Phishing Online using their 8800 media outlet sources. I believe that this is a complete faade and farce on the American People, which has been propagandized by the FTC. First they do nothing for six months and finally come up with a definition, then they file some 60 cases which represent .1% of the SPAMMING companies out there blow out of proportion their abilities and work and then claim to be fighting SPAM? What a bunch of crap in this consumer’s opinion.
SPAM is down nine percent? Bull Crap! And even if it were is this to be celebrated? What a bunch of Blundering Buffoons belittling our intelligence at the beautiful, wonderful and mighty FTC. Talk about a bunch of bull? Why do the American People put up with such crap anyway? Why do we even allow our money to be wasted by such a worthless and pathetic agency like the Federal Trade Commission and why are they in charge of consumer protection if they cannot even protect us against a ham sandwich? Well, that is my opinion? What do you think of all this?

“Things do not change; we change.” -Henry David Thoreau
The following article is a chapter from my new book, The Da Vinci Fitness Code.
Professor Stanley Plagenhoef, one of my greatest mentors, introduced me to the
Fibonacci number series in the early 1980’s.
He encouraged me to think of those numbers in the ideal relationship of health and
fitness. I took his advice and bought books that spoke of the Fibonacci numbers,
and the link between those numbers and The Golden Mean Ratio.
The first and best book I ever bought is titled, The Curves of Life, written by
Theodore Andrea Cook, ISBN # 0-486-23701. The publisher is Dover Publications in
New York.
Interestingly, this publication mentions on its title page, that the book includes
special relation to “The Manuscripts of LEONARDO DA VINCI.” I learned many details
from this insightful; brain penetrating book (and others I later read).
Some I will reword from memory. Leonardo said: “…you cannot be a good master,
unless you have a universal power of representing by your art, all the varieties of the
forms in Nature.
. . . . Do you not see how many and how varied are the actions performed by men
alone - how many kinds of animals there are, of trees and plants and flowers - how
many kinds of springs, rivers, buildings and cities, of instruments fitted for man’s
use, of costumes, ornaments and arts?
All these things should be rendered with equal facility and brace by anyone
deserving the name of a good painter”.
What finally became clear to me was how all the factors Leonardo declared are
connected in nature, propose, and carefully worked-out precise proportions, and
shapes.
Generally, the shapes are a series o that are the Fibonacci Numbers, which can
eventually take compared to the shapes of spirals, and curves.
Spiral shapes and curves are visible, in the night skies of our Universe. In the shapes
of our Galaxy, and the Milky Way, as well as in the structure of clouds. On earth the
shapes, curves, and proportions and the numbers agreed to these properties are
“The Formula for Growth.”
These shapes take the form of many aspects of Nature, prevailing in the Galaxy, on
land in the curves of the ocean waves and sea shells, to the flowers and the trees
and in the proportion and beauty of the legendary paintings, sculptures, and
achievements of the great architects, such as Frank Lloyd Wright.
Because this is a book matched to excellence in fitness training, I must focus on
examining fitness as it is about the human body.
When involved in learning the specific ways that the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci
Numbers, represent a part in all aspects of our daily lives, I propose that you use a
computer to explore the World Wide Web.
All you need to do is type in either, “The Golden Mean Ratio,” or “The Fibonacci
Numbers,” and you will be presented with thousands of pages of outstanding,
original research choices. You will be amazed!
As you will discover, the Golden Mean Ratio and the Fibonacci Numbers clearly
connect to the shape and proportions of the human body. Nature is also guiding us
in our physical development.
You are presumably aware of the drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci of “the Vitruvian
Man.” This drawing outlines the ideal proportions, size, shape, and symmetry of the
ideal human body. Some of us inherit - genetically - that shape. Many of us do not.
Nature is not continually perfect.
It became clear to me that the Fibonacci numbers and by continuation, the golden
Mean Ratio, could have value when shifted to a legitimate total fitness protocol, as
well as physical therapy, work conditioning, and bodybuilding protocols.
Apparently, the numbers, known as the Fibonacci numbers, were, first, discussed by
an Italian mathematician of the thirteenth century, Leonardo Da Pisa.
The numbers, interpreted again, and it became apparent that certain ratios, and
formula principles of these numbers, about growth, symmetry, proportion, and
beauty appeared virtually everywhere.
The numbers verified to refer to a specific ratio, often discussed as The Golden
Mean Ratio. A ratio used by Master artists, sculptors, and architects, to create their
visions, in perfect balance and harmony.
Beginning in the outer cosmos, where spiral shapes prevail in great abundance, and
the relationship of the planets distance from each other, is in a Fibonacci balance
and Golden Mean Ratio.
Apparently, the architect-Source of the unified universe, formulated these
proportions before anyone else did.
On earth, the proportions of the Fibonacci numbers, compose life forms, such as
the human body. The Golden Mean Ratio aligns with the representations of the
human body (and many other creations) by the great artists, such as Leonardo Da
Vinci.
The spiral formations, produced within the Golden Mean Ratio are the same as the
ratios of the Fibonacci numbers are to each other.
The growth and beauty of these spiral proportions appear on earth in the forms of
flowers, branches and leaves on trees, the curves of ocean waves, the shape and
proportions of animals.
In humans, they emerge as the length of the torso to the lower body. The size, and
shape of all body segments and their relationship to each other, and to the body as
a whole.
This illustrates in the famous drawing of Leonardo, called, “The Vetruvian Man.” It
interprets the ratios just mentioned, and shows patterns how the body is sectioned,
illustrated as balanced, and agreeing with each other.
One interesting sidelight to thinking of the relationships of certain shapes and the
inherent superiority of their use on planet earth is that the shape of the Nautilus Sea
Shell.
It highlight’s for instance as the essence of a superior, proportionate shape. From
my point of view, the invention of Nautilus Exercise Equipment, in 1970, marked a
major breakthrough in the evolution of fitness training.
It is interesting to me that Arthur Jones (the architect of Nautilus) chose the name
Nautilus for his fitness equipment.
The major component of his invention is an apparatus called “the cam,” which to
him looked as the shape of a Nautilus Sea Shell. Thus, the name Nautilus was given
to the advanced, High-Tech equipment.
It is possible that using a perfectly shaped device, in exercise equipment, is what
produces the surprising improvements of those who used Nautilus. I believe so!
Although professionally involved in the health field for 25 years, before 1980, I
never heard of the Fibonacci numbers or the Golden Mean Ration.
Generally, during those years, I carried out in my exercise programs, as I told to
clients. Bear in mind that many research programs I developed guided much of my
exercise knowledge.
Therefore, in one sense, these programs were not the same as other “experts”
recommended.
During the middle 1980’s, I started to use the Fibonacci numbers in various fitness
protocols. I did not explicitly explain to my patients why I was recommending
various number systems, for their programs.
Like most fitness clients, they were not versed in the procedures used in the typical
fitness programs. All they expected was the best results possible.
I held in reserve, all the workout cards of those I adequately worked with, and
eventually, the cards numbered in the thousands. Unfortunately, those cards were
destroyed a few years ago, in a basement flood in a house I owned in New England.
Since all effects, of fitness training base in the initial, baseline fitness levels, I was
lucky to develop the “Units of Muscular Contraction formula.”
This consistent approach, as mentioned in this book, can separate real results, from
imagined results. I suggest you use it as the definitive appraisal tool to measure
improvement.
Without fail, everyone greatly improved using the Fibonacci numbers. Again,
correctly measured using the Units of Muscular Contraction system and by
comparing the past and present day bodyweight, and the muscle to fat ratio.
Until recently, I have not publicly discussed using specific numbers, compared to
harmony, proportion, and beauty, growth, combined with strength. flexibility,
muscle endurance, and cardio-endurance, incorporated in one workout.
This book is an effort to help you simplify your fitness quest by introducing you to
the ease of using the same power that Nature uses to create the proportionate
health of the Universe.
This Universal power is in the Fibonacci Numbers.

It is now possible to save 40% to 60% by purchasing a diamond engagement ring from an online diamond retailer, rather than from a bricks-n-mortar High Street jeweller. Online diamond retailers don’t have retail shops, sales staff, large diamond inventories and other associated operating expenses and are therefore able to pass on the cost savings to consumers.
Of course, a diamond might be one of the largest one-off purchases made in one’s lifetime and so it is understandable that many people may be uncomfortable paying for a diamond before it has been seen and examined.
However, as long as the correct research and precautions are taken there should be no reason to be fearful about buying diamonds from Internet diamond merchants.
The three most important aspects of the pre-purchase checks that must be carried out are:
1. Assurance that the diamond business is legitimate,
2. Assurance that the payment method is secure,
3. The risk of merchant fraud or failed delivery is mitigated.
In part two of this three part series we examine the second aspect which is to be satisfied that your payment details will be secure.
Assurance payment details will be secure
There a number of assurance companies that will provide an additional level of comfort for online consumers. These companies provide certification that a particular company’s website is relatively safe and secure for online purchases.
Consumer Protection Accreditation
This is an accreditation service which audits an applying online retailer for ethical retailing and best practice data privacy. If the audit is passed the retailer is permitted membership and a unique membership number is provided, which can be added to the retailer’s website.
This number can then be cross-checked back to the issuing accreditation body to ensure that the retailer is in fact a member, giving confidence to the consumer that an online purchase from that diamond retailer is safer.
Examples of these service companies are TRUSTe, Internet Shopping Is Safe (ISIS), SafeBuy, ShopSafe.co.uk, WebTraderUK and TrustUK.
Beware of fraudulent operators that have just added the accreditation logo image to their website. A tell-tale sign of this is when the logo is clicked the homepage of the accreditation company’s website appears, rather than the legitimate detailed membership page for the retailer website you are purchasing from.
Website Verification Service
Also known as web seals or trust marks, the website verification services give Internet users information on the data security and trustworthiness of websites. They check whether a website URL address really is authentic or whether it has been hijacked by hackers.
Before exchanging sensitive information, such as providing a credit card number, personal identification information or other confidential data, these services typically allow you to check that the site has been verified by the trusted third party company and that the retailer website is using appropriate safeguarding measures against hackers.
An actual certified member website will have the logo displayed prominently. When this logo is clicked the page displaying the company’s details within the verification company’s website should appear.
Common providers are ScanAlert/HackerSafe, SquareTrade, Thwate/Verisign, TrustLogo/Comodo, and Trustwatch/GeoTrust.
Beware of fraudulent operators that have just added the verification logo image to their website. A tell-tale sign of this is when the logo is clicked the homepage of the verification company’s website appears rather than the legitimate detailed membership page or signed security seal for the retailer website you are purchasing from.
Secure Socket Layer
When making a purchase over the Internet make sure that the order page URL starts with https:// and that there is a small padlock symbol in the bottom right hand corner of the browser window. This means that the data you enter on the page will be more secure from hackers and your payment information will be less at risk.
Credit Card Verification (CCV) Service
This service is an added protection for online or phone purchases. Since the diamond merchant doesn’t actually see the credit/debit card in these situations then it’s harder to be sure that the person supplying the card number details is actually the card holder and not someone who just happens to know the credit/debit card number.
To address this problem, debit/credit card providers put a three or four digit CCV number on the card (usually on the back of the card on the signature strip) that is not embossed (raised). This number doesn’t get printed on sales receipts. Thus someone trying to use the card number fraudulently is much less likely to know this number if they do not have the card in their physical possession.
This type of checking device really reinforces the importance of notifying a credit card provider promptly if a debit/credit card is ever lost or stolen so that card can be cancelled.
The most common of these services are MasterCard Secure Code and Verified by VISA.

Are you worried that someone will talk to you and then renege on
a verbal agreement? Has someone been making threats to you? You
can get all the evidence you need when you use a spy phone to
record all of your conversations. There are a variety of devices
that can help you turn your own phone into a spy phone. And this
will help you record your conversations and can help you use
them to ensure that all agreements are carried out and that you
can prove when threats are made against you. Regular tape
recorders with special adapters are perhaps the most inexpensive
and easy ways to turn your phone into a spy phone. These devices
allow you to record conversations and then play them back later.
Today, with digital voice recorders, it is possible to even flag
important parts of the conversation while you are recording. You
can listen to what the other person is saying, and when it gets
to the point where you are making an agreement, you can flag
that on your digital recorder so that you can easily find the
part of the conversation that you would like to refer to. It is
also possible to use a spy phone to record what is going on in
the room, even if you are not there, and if the parties are not
using the phone. Many spy phones can be outfitted with special
receivers and transmitters that effectively turn the phone into
a room monitor. This means that when you are not there, you can
listen in to make sure that important plans are not being laid
with you out of the loop. You are always in the loop, and you
can protect yourself from ambush business tactics by making use
of a spy phone. A spy phone does not just have to be used in
order to eavesdrop on information you have no business hearing.
The best uses of these spy electronics are those that allow you
to protect yourself by providing a record, and by allowing you
to remain privy to information that does concern you, even
though others may try to keep it from you. Protect yourself by
using a spy phone. (c) 2005 Copyright www.spyassociates.com.

Panasonic is a world-renowned consumer electronics company today. Its digital cameras have recently entered the market. In this article, we will view the story of Panasonic and some of the latest cameras which have been launched by the company in the market.
The inception of Panasonic took place in the year 1918 on a small work table in the house of Konosuke Matsushita. At that time, Matsushita invented the two-socket light fixture. This product became a success and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. was established.
Panasonic is the largest manufacturer of consumer electronics in the world today. The firm produces a wide array of products which cater to several needs of consumers. Its policy of achieving hundred percent customer satisfaction and providing optimal quality goods, has led Panasonic from strength to strength. In fact, the name Panasonic is synonymous with innovation, quality, performance and ease of use.
As far as digital cameras are concerned, Panasonic has got several types of digital cameras which can cater to various audiences depending on their budget and needs. In fact, Panasonic has also entered into an alliance with German camera maker, Leica to develop still digital cameras. The reason for this alliance is the fact that Panasonic is a small player in the digital market today. This alliance will help both Leica and Panasonic to take over an estimated ten percent of the digital camera market share.
Panasonic’s latest line of digital cameras consists of mainly three series. One of these is the Lumix digital camera series. The Lumix camera makes use of lenses provided by Leica. This helps in getting images which are extremely clear and bright. The Lumix is a highly advanced camera and also comes with manual control options. Its shutter interval is also less than 0.04 seconds, hence allowing the photographer to take shots quickly.
Another series of digital cameras are cheaper and smaller, known as the D-Snap digital camera series. These cameras are trendy and small. They are super-slim and come in different colors. These cameras can also record videos and play music. The D-Snap digital camera is aimed at teenagers and youngsters who are looking for something smart and trendy and which also fit into their budget.
Slowly and steadily, Panasonic is establishing a name for itself in the digital camera world. This company, which has always believed in putting the customer’s needs first, is sure to make a mark in this arena as well.
Kevin Rockwell worked as a network TV cameraman for 20 years shooting news and sports. Now a devoted fan of digital photography and video he works to gather information, tips and news for digital camera users. Oh and he loves to shoot pictures of his kids playing sports.

It’s traded hand to hand, shuffled from one side of the table to the next, and tossed back into the pot time and time again. It sees a lot of action, and represents everything that you bring to the table. Of course you’ve guessed it; I’m referring to the darling of the table, the poker chip.
Poker chips get handled, tossed and raked by everyone at the table. It’s at this time when poker chips tend to pick up not only body oils from the players hands and fingers, but also tiny bits of food and beverages always present at a poker game. After repeated exposure to these conditions, poker chips can begin to change in appearance. The buildup of oils and food particles which get deposited during play will turn any shiny poker chip turn into a grimy token no one wants to pick up.
If your poker chips are beginning to offend your senses, then it’s most definitely time to clean them. Just how you clean them comes down to personal preference, but there are a few general guidelines you can follow to keep your poker chips in pristine fashion, without damaging the chips. Please note that the following suggestions do not cover the cleaning of vintage poker chips. You are advised to seek out a qualified professional to clean vintage poker chips.
Although the choice in cleaning supplies seems limitless, when it comes to cleaning poker chips your choices are considerably narrowed down for you. In fact, there are three very import properties that your chosen poker chip cleanser must possess before it can be considered for use. To prevent damage to your poker chips, make your choice wisely.
When choosing the cleanser you intend to use, it’s important to remember the cleanser must pass the following three very crucial criteria:
Removes Grime Buildup. The cleanser should be able to remove the aforementioned body oils and food particles adequately.
Leaves Ink Intact. The last thing you want is to remove the ink from your poker chips while cleaning. Be sure the cleanser isn’t harsh enough to dissolve ink.
Leaves Poker Chips Hydrated. It may sound a little strange, but poker chips do need a certain level of moisture left in them, or they will become brittle. Avoid using agents such as rubbing alcohol, as it can remove ink and dry out your poker chips.
Some of the cleansers that veteran poker players use to clean their poker chips are mild hand dishwashing detergent, Sterling Magic and Armor All Multi-Purpose Cleaner. When using the Armor All, be sure you get the multi purpose cleaner and not the Armor All tire cleaner or other Armor All products as they will damage your poker chips. Another popular cleanser to use is called Quick’n'Brite. When used properly, all the above mentioned cleansers will clean your poker chips without any harmful side effects.
When cleaning poker chips, it’s best to use a very soft-bristled baby toothbrush, or a very soft cotton towel. Pay special attention to protecting the center design. Try keeping your thumb over the center of the poker chip while using the toothbrush around the outer edge.
Rinse the poker chips in a bowl of water and wipe them dry with a soft towel or terry cloth. After a good gentle cleaning, you can add extra shine by giving them a dip in baby oil to restore luster. As always, due diligence is required by testing your cleaning method on one poker chip to see if you get the desired results.
