DECT 6.0 - Cordless Phones That Meet the Hype
You've likely heard the ballyhoo after every major cordless phone technology update. This Megahertz and that Gigahertz were all supposed to provide incredible range and amazing clarity. Well, the new-to-the-U.S. DECT cordless phone technology (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications or 1.9 GHz) really does live up to the hype. Although all DECT 6.0 cordless phones are not created equal, most DECT phone models provide a winning balance between exceptional voice clarity and suitable-to-fantastic range.
Why is DECT so special?
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications is nothing more than a digital wireless communication technology that operates at 1.9 ghz. Its popular with manufacturers (a good thing for consumers) because its a global standard, enabling them to produce fewer models to satisfy the needs of all countries. In general and all other technology components being equal, the lower the frequency, the longer the physical range youll get with your cordless phone. Phones that operate at lower frequencies (remember your old 49 MHz cordless phone from 1988) are also prone to much more interference, which significantly reduces voice clarity. When manufacturers launched phones at the higher frequencies, the opposite occurred as you might expect. voice clarity improved dramatically with digital 5.8 ghz models, but physical range became a genuine problem..especially in all the growing number of McMansions in the U.S. Some DECT 6.0 cordless phones can get up to 1000 ft of range from the base outdoors.
Though frequency is only one feature to examine in the search for a cordless phone, a DECT 6.0 phone is the best bet in todays cordless phone market as long as all included features meet your needs. Its also dedicated to cordless communication in residential, commercial and public environments, so youre unlikely to be interfering with other home electronics. Besides premium voice quality and extended range, DECT technology is inherently more efficient with battery life. Its not uncommon to see some DECT models with up to 12 hours of talk time, which can be ideal for those who work at home.
Which DECT Phone to Select?
first and foremost, look for a global brand you can trust. Because DECT is a global standard where launching a U.S. product is much less expensive than in the past, youll see lots of import brands hitting the market. price points vary depending on brand and features, but most DECT phones are at the same or lower cost than the 5.8 ghz phones theyre succeeding. Consider your usage as well. Will you be using the phone in a home office where youll need a headset jack? Surprisingly, only some DECT models have included a headset jack. Will you need multiple handsets? While most models are expandable, be cautious that a few are locked into the one included handset. There are many more features available, but most DECT phones handle core functionality (excellent voice quality and good range) really well. Look for reviews and comparisons online and consider asking your retailer for recommendations.

The Trainer S Edge Long Lean Yoga DvdObesity - Cause and Remedy
A well-known psychologist recently wrote about the issue of obesity in America for the Practical Advise column, which appeared in my local newspaper. The title of her article, Obesity Is A Medical Illness, Not A Behavioral Disorder, shocked and frightened me. She stated, Obesity meets all of the clinical definitions of a disease.
In view of the fact that this is a syndicated column and hundreds of newspapers will carry this article, I am compelled to write a rebuttal to this outrageous miscarriage of facts. Maybe with some stretch of imagination, being obese may have earned a medical disease diagnosisbecoming or staying obese is the result of emotional adaptations and indoctrinationsenvironment, family, religion and society are contributors to the onset and proliferation of obesity.
The frightening aspect of this article is the proclamation that obesity is a disease, reinforcing the doctor's role as an authority and the persons role as a helpless sick person. This indoctrination instills the belief that a "disease," is out of the direct control of the person and that the doctor has a "treatment," and that the person must "listen to the doctor" in order to "get well again." Thus, learned helplessness and submissiveness is then vastly amplified by this insidious edict. The person becomes more dutiful to the doctor and to the demoralizing principles of prescriptions, which is the mainstay of Traditional Western Medicine. Denial of ones responsibility for ones health and compliance to the doctors authority becomes a way of life, anchored in place by false facts.
The National Center for health Statistics, 2007, set the obesity rate for Americans at 31 percent. This statistic is no doubt low, because many obese people do not appear in statistical data, because they seldom use medical services in order to be counted.
Side effects of obesity includes: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea and depression, which are diagnosed as medical conditions. However, from a metaphysical standpoint, these issues can be traced back to emotional issues which precipitated the person to use food as a coping mechanism.
Reasons for excess weight include:
Emotional issuesFear, Hidden anger, resistance to forgive, Need for protection, running away from feelings. Insecurity, Oversensitivity, Self-rejection. Seeking fulfillment, Childhood traumasexual abuse, corporal punishment and verbal abuse
diet high in carbohydrates
Lack of exercise
Thyroid imbalance
insulin imbalance
Adrenal problems
Water retentionkidney/heart malfunction (edema, phlegm accumulation)
Weak digestive function
Blood sugar swings (glycogen/insulin imbalance or hypoglycemic/diabetes)

See also, Weight MaintenanceRelapse Prevention Part II.
successful approaches to weight loss include:
Eat regular, balanced meals (small meals 5 times/day)30 percent fats, 30 percent proteins, 40 percent complex carbohydrates (vegetables, with some grains (no wheat). This practice coupled with Eat Right for Your Type by Peter D'Adamo is a clear, simple food plan for each blood type that anyone can follow. For example there is a direct connection between stress, autoimmune disorders and red meat in the Type B system. I can attest to this research. Long before Eat Right for Your Type was published, I discovered red meat caused me to feel stressful due to pain in my stomach and nerve endings. It felt like my stomach lining and nerve endings had been scraped until they were raw. I discovered this pain was prevalent after eating red meat, thus, I stopped eating red meat and the pain in my stomach and nerve endings ceased. Many years later without knowing my blood type, I read Eat Right for Your Type and wondered if my blood type was B. After checking my blood type, I was not surprised to discover my blood type is B positive.
The process of changing your eating habits might seem insurmountable. However, consider the end result and the effort is worth any falsely perceived difficulty.
Walk outside or on the treadmill at least 10 minutes after eating the evening meal.
Take specific proven herbal compounds before each meal to increase metabolism and to assist in releasing fat and curb water retention.
Take specific nutritional supplements for the thyroid and adrenal gland, both crucial to the weight-loss process.
Have acupuncture treatments to help balance the organ systems (pancreas, live, endocrine function), to reduce cravings and curb the appetite (ear acupressure is available for those who fear needles).
Hypnotherapy is imperative if you have a strong underlying emotional cause for excess. How does one determine if one has a strong underlying emotional cause? The answer is simpleif you did not have a strong underlying emotional cause, you would not have gained excessive weight.
Losing and maintaining ones ideal weight requires an earnest commitment to healthier living. The end resultfeeling and looking betteris well worth the effort.
If your best efforts fall short of your desired goal weight, consider hypnosis administered by a Certified Hypnotherapist, who specializes in Mind, Body, Spirit healing.
Hypnosis is a dynamic and vital healing process embracing all aspects health care. Hypnosis is client-centered with its focus on the discovery of the origin of a persons issues. through the process of hypnosis/regression the unconscious mind goes to the original cause, which then gives the person and practitioner the opportunity to process the original feelings surrounding the original experience/cause. These surrounding feelings can be healed, thus empowering the person to live the life they want to live.
This study confirmsHypnosis is more effective and works more quickly than traditional talk-therapy or psychoanalysis. In a hypnotic state, you are more receptive to new ideas and you can more effectively process the emotions linked to the experiences, which created pain, fear, sadness, anger, guilt, shame, humiliation and low self-esteem.
through Hypnosis you connect with your subconscious mind, which puts YOU in control of your subconscious mindthe most powerful and empowering aspect of your brain.
