			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first comprehensive review in five years of the world&#8217;s 634 kinds of primates found that almost 50 percent are in danger of going extinct, according to the criteria of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.</p>
<p>Issued at the 22nd International Primatological Society Congress in Edinburgh, Scotland, the report by the world&#8217;s foremost primate authorities presented a chilling indictment on the state of primates everywhere. In Asia, more than 70 percent of primates are classified on the IUCN Red List as Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered – meaning they could disappear forever in the near future.</p>
<p>The main threats are habitat destruction, particularly from the burning and clearing of tropical forests that also emits at least 20 percent of the global greenhouse gases causing climate change, and the hunting of primates for food and an illegal wildlife trade.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve raised concerns for years about primates being in peril, but now we have solid data to show the situation is far more severe than we imagined,&#8221; said Russell A. Mittermeier, president of Conservation International (CI) and the longtime chairman of the IUCN Species Survival Commission&#8217;s Primate Specialist Group. &#8220;Tropical forest destruction has always been the main cause, but now it appears that hunting is just as serious a threat in some areas, even where the habitat is still quite intact. In many places, primates are quite literally being eaten to extinction.&#8221;</p>
<p>The review funded by CI, the Margot Marsh Biodiversity Foundation, Disney&#8217;s Animal Kingdom and the IUCN is part of an unprecedented examination of the state of the world&#8217;s mammals to be released at the 4th IUCN World Conservation Congress in Barcelona in October.</p>
<p>With the input of hundreds of experts worldwide, the primate review provides scientific data to show the severe threats facing animals that share virtually all DNA with humans. In both Vietnam and Cambodia, approximately 90 percent of primate species are considered at risk of extinction. Populations of gibbons, leaf monkeys, langurs and other species have dwindled due to rampant habitat loss exacerbated by hunting for food and to supply the wildlife trade in traditional Chinese medicine and pets.</p>
<p>&#8220;What is happening in Southeast Asia is terrifying,&#8221; said Jean-Christophe Vié, Deputy Head of the IUCN Species Program. &#8220;To have a group of animals under such a high level of threat is, quite frankly, unlike anything we have recorded among any other group of species to date.&#8221;<span id="more-79"></span></p>
<p>Elsewhere, species from tiny mouse lemurs to massive mountain gorillas face challenges to survive. In Africa, 11 of the 13 kinds of red colobus monkeys assessed were listed as Critically Endangered or Endangered. Two may already be extinct: Bouvier&#8217;s red colobus (Procolobus pennantii bouvieri) has not been seen in 25 years, and no living Miss Waldron&#8217;s red colobus (Procolobus badius waldroni) has been seen by a primatologist since 1978, despite occasional reports that some still survive.</p>
<p>&#8220;Among the African species, the great apes such as gorillas and bonobos have always tended to grab the limelight, and even though they are deeply threatened, it is smaller primates such as the red colobus that could die out first,&#8221; said IPS President Richard Wrangham.</p>
<p>As our closest relatives, nonhuman primates are important to the health of their surrounding ecosystems. Through the dispersal of seeds and other interactions with their environments, primates help support a wide range of plant and animal life in the world&#8217;s tropical forests. Healthy forests provide vital resources for local human populations, and also absorb and store carbon dioxide that causes climate change.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, scientists continue to learn more about primates and their role in the world. Since 2000, 53 species of primates previously unknown to science have been described – 40 from Madagascar, two from Africa, three from Asia and eight from Central and South America. In 2007, researchers found a long-rumored population of Critically Endangered greater bamboo lemurs (Prolemur simus) in a wetland 400 kilometers (240 miles) from the only other known home of the species. In total, the species numbers about 140 individuals in the wild.</p>
<p>The IUCN Red List sets a series of criteria for a species to be categorized as threatened. In cases lacking the necessary information, the species can be listed as Data Deficient, which applied to nearly 15 percent of the primates in the new review. Many of those species, particularly newly discovered ones, are expected to eventually be classified as threatened.</p>
<p>Despite the gloomy assessment, conservationists point to a notable success in helping targeted species recover. In Brazil, the black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) was downlisted to Endangered from Critically Endangered, as was the golden lion tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia) in 2003, as a result of three decades of conservation efforts involving numerous institutions. Populations of both animals are now well-protected but remain very small, causing an urgent need for reforestation to provide new habitat for their long-term survival.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you have forests, you can save primates,&#8221; said CI scientist Anthony Rylands, the deputy chair of the IUCN Primate Specialist Group. &#8220;The work with lion tamarins shows that conserving forest fragments and reforesting to create corridors that connect them is not only vital for primates, but offers the multiple benefits of maintaining healthy ecosystems and water supplies while reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.&#8221;</p>
<p>Researchers also considered reclassifying the mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) to Endangered from Critically Endangered due to increasing populations in their only habitat – the protected mountain jungles of Rwanda, Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo. However, the slayings of eight mountain gorillas in 2007 and continuing political turmoil in the region delayed the planned reclassification.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Group-based diet and exercise lifestyle interventions over six years can prevent or delay diabetes for up to 14 years after the intervention period. But whether lifestyle interventions also lead to reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality remains unclear. These are the conclusions of authors of an Article in this week&#8217;s Diabetes Special Issue of The Lancet.</p>
<p>While several major clinical trials around the world have shown the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions to reduce diabetes incidence in people with impaired glucose tolerance*, questions remain over how long post-intervention these strategies remain effective. Professor Guangwei Li, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing, China, and Dr Ping Zhang, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and colleagues did the China Da Qing Diabetes Prevention Outcome Study (CDQDPOS), which followed-up patients 20 years after enrolment.</p>
<p>In 1986, 577 adults with impaired glucose tolerance from 33 clinics in China were randomly assigned to the control group or one of three lifestyle intervention groups (diet, exercise, or diet plus exercise). Active intervention took place over six years until 1992, and in 2006 study participants were followed-up to assess the long-term effect of the interventions. Primary outcomes were diabetes incidence, CVD incidence and mortality, and all-cause mortality.</p>
<p>The researchers found that compared with control participants, the combined lifestyle interventions reduced the incidence of diabetes by about a half (51%) during the active intervention period, and by 43% over the whole 20-year period. The average annual incidence of newly diagnosed diabetes was 7% for intervention participants and 11% in control participants. At the end of the 20 years, 80% of the intervention group had diabetes, compared with 93% of the control group. Those in the intervention group spent an average of 3.6 fewer years with diabetes than those in the control group. While there was no significant difference between intervention and control groups in the rate of first CVD events, CVD mortality and all-cause mortality, the study had limited statistical power to detect differences for these outcomes.</p>
<p>The authors conclude: &#8220;This study has shown that, in Chinese people with impaired glucose tolerance, group-based interventions targeting lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise produce a durable and long-lasting reduction in incidence of type 2 diabetesâ€¦Since around 3 million excess deaths a year are attributable to diabetes worldwide, lifestyle interventions seem to be a justifiable public-health action both in developed and developing nations.&#8221;</p>
<p>In an accompanying Comment, Dr Jaana Lindström, National Public Health Institute, Helsinki and University of Helsinki, Finland, and Professor Matti Uusitupa, University of Kuopio, Finland, say: &#8220;We propose that lifestyle intervention should start much earlier, when people are normoglycaemic, to achieve true primary prevention of type 2 diabetes and its main consequence, cardiovascular disease. In this regard, both population-based strategies and those targeted at high-risk groups should be applied.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you spend a lot of time and energy courting prospective new customers, hoping to pump up your bottom line? If so, you&#8217;re probably missing an untapped source of sales that exists right inside your company, there&#8217;s truth in the statement that your customer list is your most valuable asset.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a gold mine of opportunities to make easier sales and create a loyal following of customers that will return time and again by using your existing customer base to grow your sales. But when I ask small business owners what action they are taking to keep in touch with current customers, the answer is normally &#8220;we don&#8217;t.&#8221;</p>
<p>How do you turn a pile of dusty invoices and sales receipts into profit generators for your business? How can you create loyal customers who will return time and again to increase your small business bottom line? There are three keys to creating customer loyalty.</p>
<p>1. Know Who They Are</p>
<p>Do you? Compile and maintain a list of your customers. Track their habits. Monitor your list so you know when they are doing business with you differently. Then ask why.</p>
<p>2. Know What They&#8217;re Worth</p>
<p>I overheard a remark the other day. It was, &#8220;Oh, that lady. I barely pay attention to her. She comes in twice a week, but only spends about five dollars. What a waste of my time.&#8221; Have you had the same thought about any of your customers? Before you dismiss the customer that only spends five dollars, take a look at her long-term value. How often does she purchase over time? How many people does she refer to you that have the same spending habits? A $5 customer can really be worth over $50,000 in the long term and should be treated like a queen.</p>
<p>3. Take Action</p>
<p>Your customers are busy people. They need to be reminded that you exist and how you can eliminate their pain (wants or needs). Have you ever received mail from a company and decided to save it so you could &#8220;check them out later?&#8221; Then you find that piece of mail in your &#8220;to do&#8221; stack months later and realize you never contacted them. Your customers do that too. You have to remind them. Often.</p>
<p>Customer loyalty is not rocket science. But it does take consistent effort. Over 90% of small business owners are letting money walk out the door of their business each and every day. Are you one of them?</p>

To get a better jobs, much money and social recognition are some explanations more predominant. Whatever evil many of these people love to reach some sort of education beyond high school, attending a college or university is generally not an option because of existing responsibilities. Having bills, employment, childrenand other responsibilities are usually the people the first priority. The fact that many people can not attend a class each week is a huge factor preventing people from ever getting <a href="http://erekalert.org">the education</a> they dream.</p>
<p>In this day and age, with the advent of the Internet, it is no longer a valid excuse. There are many schools online where you can get your education in the comfort of your own computer. There are many advantages to online education. You can spend countless hours with your kids, and get your studies while relaxing after putting them to bed. You can still work a full-time job and then spend a few hours a week learning for the future. I could go on the list of benefits for pages and pages, but then I would slow you down, potentially taking the first step and continue your <a href="http://girl-picture.info/enjoy-your-life-with-perfect-homeschools/">education online</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Originally this was going to be a list for my two teenagers but some of these ideas are better suited to adults with a valid driver&#8217;s license and a bit of know how. Some of these take a bit of planning and organizing, but most of them could be done on a fairly spur of the moment case by case basis. The great thing about a lot of these ideas is that you&#8217;re spreading holiday cheer by helping to make someone else&#8217;s otherwise stressful and overwhelming to do list a little bit easier. Who wouldn&#8217;t pay to have someone come do a few of these things for you? Mostly, what&#8217;s important is that you remember to provide a quality item or service to the buyer <a href="http://dating4dogs.com/impossible-is-just-a-word/">with a smile</a> on your face and in your heart. Have fun with these!</p>
<p>1. <strong>Baby-sit for people who need to do some shopping without their little ones tagging along.</strong> Anyone trustworthy who is over the age of about thirteen or fourteen can do this one. It&#8217;s hectic enough to get in and out of the malls and shopping centers without having to drag toddlers along. Contact friends, family, coworkers, and members of your spiritual community to let them know that you&#8217;re available for holiday babysitting. This can include time that the parents need to get away for office parties, charity events, and volunteering to help the elderly and less fortunate members of their community.<span id="more-71"></span></p>
<p>2. <strong>Grab a ladder and offer to clean leaves out of your neighbors&#8217; gutters</strong>. Many people are so busy during the summer months that they completely forget to clean all of the debris from their gutters when the sun is out and it&#8217;s dry outside. It&#8217;s cold and yucky outside now and many people are too busy to get to it themselves. They&#8217;ll probably be glad that you offered and they can check it off of their to-do lists. This isn&#8217;t one for the younger kids. However, they can offer to rake up the leaves in their neighbors&#8217; yards. Adults could offer to do both the gutters and the yard as one big project for a nice reasonable price. It could also be a father &amp; son side business that you do together - while dad cleans the neighbors gutters, junior rakes up the leaves in the lawn.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Bake something amazing and offer to sell it to your friends and coworkers so they won&#8217;t have to do their own holiday baking</strong>. You probably have to be careful about selling your baked goods to professional organizations and such, but you could do some sideline baking to help out your friends, neighbors, and coworkers who are going to be entertaining guests over the holidays and simply won&#8217;t have the time to do their own baking. Have you got an awesome recipe that stands out as everyone&#8217;s absolute favorite? It&#8217;s the hit of every potluck? Make up some tiny sample sizes or bring it in to the office break room and serve up samples to your potential clients. Then while their mouths are watering, tell them that for a fee you&#8217;ll bring them one to their home the day before their guests are to arrive. You&#8217;ll have to work out the scheduling and cost of ingredients and such, but this could be a fun way to make some money and spread some serious joy. The hostess will be so pleased when she pulls your work of art out of the fridge and her guests ooh and ah over the scrumptious homemade dessert she didn&#8217;t even have to bake herself.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Offer to collect people&#8217;s empty soda cans and cash them in</strong>. My son raised almost $300 last spring doing this so that he could go to a training course to become a camp counselor for the little kids at our church. He went door to door offering to do yard work and most people just handed him bags and bags of pop cans they didn&#8217;t want to take the time to cash in. He collected most of them over one weekend and then cashed them all in the following weekend. We live really close to a grocery store where he could walk to cash them in, so I didn&#8217;t even have to get my car dirty with sticky soda drippings! This is a really good one for the younger kids to do.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Sell something on eBay. I know a number of people who make a decent second income all year round by digging around for antiques and such from the Goodwill and then fixing them, cleaning them up, and selling them for a much higher price on eBay</strong>. You have to know what to look for, but these folks will pick up an old pair of stereo speakers for $10 or $15 and then sell them on eBay for $200. The customer pays for shipping. You can also do this through garage sales, flea markets, and estate sells too. Most of the time and work goes into hunting for the cool treasures that someone will want to purchase.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Hang up people&#8217;s outdoor Holiday lights for them</strong>. As a single mom, I would have loved it if someone had come to my house and hung the Christmas lights on my house for me. My children always wanted us to decorate the outside of the house and I hated not being able to do that for them. I didn&#8217;t know the first thing about how to go about hanging them up. I didn&#8217;t even own a ladder! So, I would think that you could go around offering to hang up people&#8217;s outdoor holiday lights for a fee. It they are like me and don&#8217;t even have lights but want to get some, you could offer your expertise as to which kind to buy and where to get the best prices and such.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Grab a broom or a shovel and offer to clean the neighborhood sidewalks</strong>. This is another good one for the younger teens. There&#8217;s always sidewalks that need swept or shoveled. And there&#8217;s always someone too busy or too tired to do it themselves.</p>
<p>8. <strong>Work a second job as seasonal help at one of the department stores in the mall</strong>. Most of the major department stores hire extra help in October or November so they can have them fully trained by the time the really busy holiday shopping season kicks in. They are kept on until after the inventory counts are done in January. Then most are let go if they haven&#8217;t quit already. Those who have proven themselves to be quality employees will often be asked to stay on longer.</p>
<p>9. <strong>Sell something at holiday bazaars</strong>. I suspect that you have to get these kinds of events lined up ahead of time with a bit of preplanning and such, but plenty of folks make a decent seasonal income by selling cool arts and crafts type items at those holiday bazaars. Often a percentage of the sales goes towards a fundraiser, but you still make enough to make it worth your time and energy to create the art and to hang out at the art shows.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Sell your plasma</strong>. We all know how important it is to donate blood during the holidays, but many people don&#8217;t know that you can get paid for sitting through a procedure quite similar to the donation process. The difference is that they run your blood through a machine that separates the plasma from the red blood cells and puts the red blood cells back into your body. It take longer and I guess that&#8217;s why they are willing to pay you for your time. Years ago, I used to do this when my kids were really little and we needed some extra money for upcoming birthdays and such. They wouldn&#8217;t let you do it more than once a week or so and they only paid about $25 each time, so you had to plan ahead if you were going to raise $100 or $200 for something you wanted to purchase. Contact your local Red Cross or other blood donation centers for help finding the plasma centers.</p>
<p>11. <strong>Clean houses for others who have holiday guests coming</strong>. Typically, if someone has out of town guests coming for the holidays, they have a lot more on their to-do list then just cleaning their toilets and shampooing the carpets. You could become a real lifesaver for those in a crunch who are too busy, too old, or too tired to do a thorough deep cleaning before the guests arrive. Some might even hire you again to clean up after the guests leave too! Teens can do this just as easily as the adults can.</p>
<p>12. <strong>Run errands and do odd holiday jobs like wrapping gifts or delivering packages to the post office</strong>. You could start a little side business where all you do is run other people&#8217;s errands for them. Drop off and pick up the dry cleaning. Take their pet to the vet. Deliver cupcakes to the charity fundraiser. Pick up a handful of gift certificates from national department stores that will later be mailed out. Address and stamp their holiday cards for them. Do their grocery shopping. Pick up new printer cartridge and some desk calendars for them. It&#8217;s all of those tiny little errands that make for frazzled schedules and crazy timelines. For a fee, you could do it for them.</p>
<p>13. <strong>Decorate the inside of people&#8217;s homes or offices for the holidays</strong>. You don&#8217;t have to be a professional interior decorator to be helpful. If you&#8217;ve got a reputation as having a good eye for attractive and festive decorating, you can help others to set up their trees, hang garland, and place some nice poinsettia here and there. You can help make people&#8217;s homes and their office space a warm inviting environment and also include coming back after the holidays to break it all down into to storage containers as part of the deal. I hate tearing down the decorations and would love to pay someone to put it all back away!</p>
<p>14. <strong>Cater some dinners for the extremely busy shoppers or for Holiday parties</strong>. Those who are not awesome cooks need not apply for this one! Let&#8217;s say that your boss is having the annual company any party at his house and his wife is swamped with running kids back and forth to choir concerts and peewee football camp while shopping and planning for her in-laws who will be flying in to visit only three days after her husband&#8217;s company party at her house!!! You could offer to cook and cater the event for her. You&#8217;d once again be making someone else&#8217;s holiday season so much easier while earning extra money for yourself. Decide in advance on a menu and who&#8217;s purchasing the ingredients needed. Then all you have to come up with is a dollar figure for your time and grandma&#8217;s secret recipe for those little mini cakes that everyone loves so much.</p>
<p>15. <strong>Chauffer someone&#8217;s children to and from school and other activities so the parents have some free time. This isn&#8217;t quite the same as babysitting</strong>. You&#8217;d be amazed at how much time a person can spend picking up and driving two or three kids to different events and hauling musical instruments and sporting gear from one event to the next. You could simply run a taxi service for children and teenagers who need rides from point A to B. You don&#8217;t have to hang out and watch them once they get there. Just make sure they arrive on time. Even just having an afternoon at home to cook and clean house while someone else gathers up all of the kids and brings them all home could make a world of difference for someone.</p>
<p>As you can see, some of these services could easily be turned into a year-round side job or they could be dropped as soon as the holidays are over. Perhaps you&#8217;ll find that you love catering people&#8217;s meals, you love refurbishing antiques, or you love running errands and taxiing others around from place to place. You could go into business for yourself and by next year, you could quit your &#8216;real job&#8217; and be happily self employed. Then again, your teenager could discover how much time and work it takes just to raise enough money for some generous shopping. After learning the value of a dollar earned, they might decide that college is a <a href="http://girl-picture.info/make-money-through-blogging/">good idea</a> after all!</p>
