			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Chances are, you&#8217;ve either heard of or been on one of the</strong><img src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:eCXYhjkmkfgJfM:http://www.textually.org/textually/archives/images/set3/Fad-Diet.jpg" align="right" height="150" hspace="2" vspace="1" width="114" /><strong> countless fad diets that promise instant results, from the cabbage soup diet to the grapefruit diet and beyond. Fad diets used to claims that followers will lose 10</strong><strong> pounds if they drastically cut their caloric intake and skip snacks for three days. The followers did indeed lose some weight on the three day diet, but the fact is they all fall short. Here&#8217;s why:</strong></p>
<p>source: Bob Greene from <a href="http://oprah.com" target="_blank">Oprah</a></p>
<p>-Fad diets distort the true meaning of the word &#8220;diet,&#8221; which is simply the foods you eat. Diet should not mean what it has come to mean, which is a temporary way of eating for a temporary result.</p>
<p>-Fad diets lack nutritional value. Bob says the fad diet his colleagues followed was &#8220;nutritionally void,&#8221; and lacked calcium, fiber and whole grains, among other things.</p>
<p>-Oftentimes, fad diets are too high in sodium. The diet he critiqued included high-sodium crackers with no nutritional value.</p>
<p>-Fad diets are often too low in calories. Bob says he&#8217;d rather see<img src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:k4mq0MEOC0zyGM:http://www.brainboomer.com/wp-content/Exercise02c.jpg" align="right" height="108" hspace="2" vspace="1" width="120" /> an individual exercising more and upping their caloric intake instead of depriving themselves.</p>
<p>-Fad diets rely on gimmicks, rather than common sense. Hot dogs and ice cream served as the hook for this particular diet, both of which Bob says should only be eaten sparingly.</p>
<p>-The pounds you lose on a fad diet are mostly water weight.</p>
<p>-You can&#8217;t reasonably stay on a fad diet for an extended period of time. They&#8217;ll work temporarily, but you can&#8217;t live this way</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><strong>WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DISCIPLINE to achieve a prosperous, happy, and brilliant career  and life?</strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong>Apakah disiplin yang paling penting bagi pencapaian kesejahteraan, kebahagiaan, dan  kecemerlangan karir dan kehidupan pribadi kita?</strong><br />
Sebagai latar belakang pertimbangan,</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Masing-masing dari kita dilahirkan dengan  dua kecenderungan yang seimbang &#8211; yaitu kecenderungan untuk menjadi  pribadi yang baik dan kecenderungan untuk menjadi pribadi  yang kurang baik.</strong><span id="more-6"></span></p>
<p align="left">Pengertian-pengertian mengenai kebaikan ada terselip dan  terjahit di dalam pribadi orangtua kita, dan di dalam diri mereka yang berada  mengitari kita semasa pertumbuhan kita &#8211; yang mempengaruhi perkembangan  kita dari lembar-lembar kertas yang kosong, untuk kemudian menjadi  buku-buku petunjuk pengoperasian diri &#8211; yang namanya <em>karakter</em>  itu.</p>
<p align="left">Ada lingkungan yang melatih kita untuk bersikap lebih ramah  kepada kebaikan, tetapi ada juga lingkungan yang menyiapkan anak-anak yang suci  untuk menjadi pribadi dewasa yang tidak jujur.</p>
<p align="left">Dan yang lebih menyayat hati, adalah pribadi-pribadi baik yang  tumbuh dalam pengertian-pengerti an yang salah mengenai kebenaran; sehingga  tanpa mereka sadari &#8211; mereka bekerja keras untuk mencapai kebaikan hidup  dengan cara-cara yang menjadikan mereka pribadi baik yang berlaku  salah.</p>
<p align="left">Itulah sebabnya, kita sering mendapati pribadi dengan  kualitas mesin balap Formula 1 &#8211; yang bekerja dengan kesetiaan buta  kepada manual operasi sebuah mesin jahit.</p>
<p align="left">Kira-kira, balapan seperti apakah yang akan  dimenangkannya?</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Tidak semua yang tertulis dalam manual  operasi pribadi kita menunjuk kepada pengoperasian pribadi dengan  ketepatan dan kelancaran yang prima.</strong></p>
<p align="left">Ada pribadi dengan <em>operating manual</em> &#8211; karakter &#8211; yang  tidak sinambung, yang hilang beberapa halaman petunjuk operasinya, sehingga  pribadi itu tidak berfungsi baik dalam beberapa keadaan tertentu atau saat  berhadapan dengan pribadi-pribadi yang cara operasinya berbeda.</p>
<p align="left">Standar prosedur pengoperasian kehidupan itu bisa saja tidak  lengkap, sudah kedalu-warsa, atau bahkan sudah cacat; tetapi bila sang pribadi  meyakininya sebagai yang benar, ia akan mempertahankan karakter yang salah itu  dengan kekuatan yang bahkan mungkin lebih besar dari mereka yang benar.</p>
<p align="left">Mohon Anda ingat bahwa</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Semua kesalahan dilakukan dengan keyakinan bahwa yang  dilakukannya itu benar.</strong></p>
<p align="left">Dearest Super Members,</p>
<p align="left">Bila <em>standard operating procedure</em> kita tidak benar,  maka akan tidak benarlahlah keputusan-keputusan kita, dan akan tidak  tepatlah pencapaian-pencapai an kita. Dan itulah yang menjadikan kita mengeluhkan  kualitas dari kehidupan, atau mengeluhkan lambatnya perbaikan dari keadaan yang  telah menjadikan kita tertinggal.</p>
<p align="left">Apakah aman untuk kita simpulkan bahwa bila kita sedang tidak  benar, kita sebetulnya sedang salah?</p>
<p align="left">Bila ya, maka kehidupan yang benar adalah kehidupan yang secara  alamiah tumbuh dari yang menyejahterakan, menjadi yang membahagiakan, dan yang  kemudian yang mencemerlangkan.</p>
<p align="left">Dengannya, maka kehidupan yang salah adalah kehidupan yang harus  kita tinggalkan untuk mencapai kehidupan yang benar.</p>
<p align="left">Dan semoga semua kehidupan kita adalah setidaknya kehidupan yang  belum sepenuhnya benar yang sedang menuju kepada kebenaran yang utuh &#8211; yang menjadikan  kita kekasih-kekasih Tuhan.</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Semua yang kuat tumbuh dari kualitas-kualitas  kecil yang diijinkan berkembang dalam keteraturan.</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Itu sebabnya, </strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>bila Anda ingin membangun kekuatan, </strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>bangunlah keteraturan.</strong></p>
<p align="left">Semua hal yang benar, walau sekecil apapun &#8211; bila dilakukan  secara teratur &#8211; akan menjadi sebuah kebenaran yang lebih besar dan berdampak  kuat.</p>
<p align="left">Pribadi yang bersungguh-sungguh untuk secara teratur bersikap  benar, berpikir benar, dan bertindak benar &#8211; tidak perlu lagi meminta sebuah  kehidupan yang baik, karena dengannya ia jadi berhak dan pantas untuk hidup  dalam sebuah kualitas yang menyejahterakan, yang membahagiakan, dan yang  mencemerlangkannya.</p>
<p align="left">Dengannya ia akan menerima dan melaksanakan secara utuh  penugasan dari langit untuk memajukan kebaikan dan mencegah terjadinya keburukan  kepada saudara-saudaranya.</p>
<p align="left">Dan itu adalah kualitas pencapaian kehidupan yang paling  penting.</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Pribadi yang bersungguh-sungguh untuk secara teratur  berlaku benar, adalah pribadi yang setia kepada yang benar.</strong></p>
<p align="left">Mohon Anda ingat bahwa</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Integritas adalah kesetiaan kepada yang  benar.</strong></p>
<p align="left"> Dengannya,</p>
<p align="left">Jawaban dari MT Discourse kita kali ini, adalah:</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Integritas adalah disiplin yang paling penting  </strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>bagi pencapaian kesejahteraan, kebahagiaan, dan  kecemerlangan karir dan kehidupan pribadi kita.</strong></p>
<p align="left"> Dearest Super Members,</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Integrity is the most important  discipline.</strong></font></p>

One of the common myths about battered women is that they don&#8217;t want to talk about their victimization. While many do make efforts to hide the</font><img src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:jpYAOxuxC_Gf7M:http://www.sitemason.com/files/eGR0K4/cutpicture.GIF/main.gif" align="right" height="115" hspace="2" vspace="1" width="113" /><font size="4"> battering, they often do so because they fear being embarrassed, their partner finding out, being blamed, not being believed, or being pressured to do something they&#8217;re not ready or able to do.</font><font size="4"> </font><font size="4">What you should do: <font color="#ff6600"><u>Believe her.</u></font> And let her know that you do. If you know her partner, remember that batterers most often behave differently in public than they do in private.</font><span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Listen to what she tells you.</strong></font></p>
<p>If you actively listen, ask clarifying questions and avoid making judgments and giving advice. You will most likely learn directly from her what it is she needs.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Build on her strengths.</strong></font></p>
<p>Actively identify the ways in which she has developed coping strategies, solved problems and exhibited courage and determination, even if her efforts have not been completely successful. Help her to build on these strengths.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Validate her feelings.</strong></font></p>
<p>It is common for women to have conflicting feelings—love and fear; guilt and anger; hope and sadness. Let her know that her feelings are normal and reasonable.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Avoid victim-blaming.</strong></font></p>
<p>Tell her that the abuse is not her fault. Reinforce that the abuse is her partner&#8217;s problem and his responsibility. However, refrain from &#8220;bad-mouthing&#8221; him.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Take her fears seriously.</strong></font></p>
<p>If you are concerned about her safety, express your concern without judgment. Simply say, &#8220;Your situation sounds dangerous and I&#8217;m concerned about your safety.&#8221;</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Offer help.</strong></font></p>
<p>When it&#8217;s appropriate, offer specific forms of help and information. If she asks you to do something you&#8217;re willing and able to do, do it. If you can&#8217;t or don&#8217;t want to, say so and help her identify other ways to have that need met.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Be an active, creative partner in her safety-planning effort.</strong></font></p>
<p>The key to planning is to take the problem, consider the full range of available options, evaluate the risks and benefits of different options, and identify ways to reduce the risks.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>Support her decisions.</strong></font></p>
<p>Remember that there are risks attached to every decision a battered woman makes. If you truly want to be helpful, be patient and respectful of her decisions.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><strong>What you should not do:</strong></font></p>
<p>If you think a woman you know is being abused, don&#8217;t wait for her to come to you. If she does confide in you, don&#8217;t judge or blame her or her decisions—even if you don&#8217;t agree with them. Don&#8217;t pressure her into acting if she&#8217;s not ready. Don&#8217;t offer advice if it&#8217;s not appropriate, and don&#8217;t put conditions on your support of her.</p>

<p>Recognizing what behaviors are part of domestic violence is not always easy, even for victims themselves. This is, in part, because domestic violence is much more than physical abuse. In fact, many battered women who are controlled by their partners and who live in danger and fear have never been physically assaulted.<br />
Understanding what domestic violence is means being aware of the many different things abusers do to control their partners. The following checklist of behaviors may help you decide if you or someone you know is being abused.Understanding what domestic violence is means being aware of the many different things abusers do to control their partners. The following checklist of behaviors may help you decide if you or someone you know is being abused.</p>
<p><font color="#993300"><strong>Does your partner…</strong></font><span id="more-3"></span></p>
<p><strong>  Use emotional and psychological control?</strong></p>
<p>- Call you names, yell, put you down, make racial or homophobic slurs, or constantly criticize or undermine you and your abilities as a wife, partner or mother?</p>
<p>- Behave in an overprotective way or become extremely jealous?</p>
<p>- Make it difficult for you to see family and friends, or &#8220;bad-mouth&#8221; your family and friends?</p>
<p>- Prevent you from going where you want to, when you want to, and with whomever you want to?</p>
<p>- Humiliate or embarrass you in front of other people?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.caring-unlimited.org/images/pic-what-is-dv.gif" align="middle" height="407" hspace="2" vspace="1" width="422" /></p>
<p><strong>Use economic control?</strong></p>
<p>- Deny you access to family assets like bank accounts, credit cards or a car?</p>
<p>- Control all the finances, force you to account for what you spend or take your money?</p>
<p>- Prevent you from getting or keeping a job or from going to school?</p>
<p>- Limit your access to health, prescription and/or dental insurance?</p>
<p><strong>Make threats?</strong></p>
<p>- Threaten to report you to the authorities (the police, courts or child protective services) for something you didn&#8217;t do?</p>
<p>- Threaten to harm or kidnap the children?</p>
<p>- Make you afraid by using looks, actions or gestures?</p>
<p>- Display weapons as a way of making you afraid or directly threaten you with weapons?</p>
<p>- Use anger or &#8220;loss of temper&#8221; as a threat to get you to do what he wants?</p>
<p>- Threaten to expose your sexual orientation to friends, family or employer, if you are gay or lesbian?</p>
<p>- Threaten to report you to INS or immigration?</p>
<p><strong>Commit acts of physical violence?</strong></p>
<p>- Carry out threats to hurt you, your children, pets, family members, friends or himself?</p>
<p>- Destroy personal property or throw things around?</p>
<p>- Grab, push, hit, punch, slap, kick, choke or bite you?</p>
<p>- Force you to have sex when you don&#8217;t want to or to engage in sexual acts that you don&#8217;t want to do?</p>
<p>- Prevent you from taking medications or getting medical care?</p>
<p>- Deny you access to food, fluids or sleep?</p>
<p>These are some of the most common tactics used by abusers to control their partners, they are but certainly not the only ones. If your partner does things that restrict your personal freedom or make you afraid, you may be a victim of domestic violence.</p>
