Note: For the purposes of this article we will be referring only to futures trading, specifically index futures contracts. While the concepts we will discuss are similar in stock and option trading, there are differences that are significant.
Long
When a trader enters a trade long he/she is hoping for the price of the contract to go up. It is often called buying, in lieu of “going long.” Either term is correct when referring to this type of trade. Most traders have a preset idea how far they intend to let the trade appreciate before they exit for a gain, or profit. Conversely, a certain level of loss tolerance is usually established should the trade not go up, or appreciate, and the trader exits to minimize his loss. Generally speaking, a trader should never risk more than five percent of his working capital on a given trade, even less is better. To summarize, a trader buys or “goes long” with the idea the market is going up and the trader hopes to capitalize on the up market by purchasing contracts for the potential appreciation in the contract price.
Short
When a trader enters a trade short he/she is hoping for the price of the contract to decline. It is the exact opposite of going long a trade, where the trader is hoping for price appreciation. In a short trade, the trader expect the price to depreciate or decline. Entering a trade short is sometimes referred to as selling short. This has its origin in stock trading, but it is important to note that short trading in stocks is far different than selling short in futures contracts. An entirely different set of SEC rules govern short selling in stocks. Don’t confuse the two.
It is important to note that all traders should have a set of criterion for selling short or going long, and they use these criteria to decide which direction the market may be headed. This methodology varies greatly from trader to trader and is generally considered a traders style.
For me, I consider myself a scalper, which is a trader who trade in very short intervals, usually three to six minutes per trade, and hopes to capitalize on intraday movement in the market. Other traders have a much longer view of the market and may enter trades with the idea of holding the contract for days, weeks, even months. Each trader develops his own style, which is usually a reflection of his individual personality.

Bill Wiese, New York Times best-selling author of “23 Minutes in Hell” has written a follow up book to his first book, simply titled “Hell.” In this his second book he provides answers to the most frequently asked questions he has been asked on hell and the afterlife. He explains in more detail some of the things he personally experienced, as described earlier, in light of scriptural teaching and interpretation.
Wiese depicts hell as more than separation from God. He gives a vivid explanation the weakness he felt, the extreme problems he encountered with breathing, the disgusting odor of sulfur and brimstone, the anguish of being in presence of demons, and more details regarding his momentous experience.
The book includes uplifting accounts, stories, and testimonies of how individual lives have been radically changed for eternity while reading Bill’s earlier book.
Wiese’s work is thoroughly researched and well documented. His writing is Biblically sound, strong in appeal and convincing in presentation. The book is an incredible compilation of substance and data on the subject of hell. The collection of quotations by Biblical scholars, expository preachers, and devotional writers is imposing.
The appendix is comprehensive and includes a complete list of all the scriptural references on hell and destruction. This addition makes the book a valuable reference resource for Bible teachers, pastors, and laymen for lesson and sermon preparation or for further personal study and future reference.
Bill Wiese’s book “Hell” should be on reading lists of seminary and Bible School students and ought to be required reading for every ordained minister. This would help insure that the message of heaven and hell are brought back into the pulpit ministry of our churches.

You can use fragrance oil that is available at most craft stores or online for your scented candles. It is better to use oil rather then a water-bases or alcohol-based perfume in wax because most waxes are close to oil in their chemical composition. Water and oil do not mix. So, by using water-based perfumes, the liquid will simply float to the bottom of your melted wax.
The wonderful thing about scented candles is that the fragrance is noticed even when the candle is not lit. They make wonderful gifts and are appreciated even more when they are handmade. The process of making scented candles is the same as making regular candles. You will need to consider which kind of wax you are going to use. There are several kinds of wax that are available today. There are natural waxes like soy, palm, or beeswax. There is also paraffin wax which is your basic wax that most candles are made of and there are also gel candles. Both of these types of wax can be used to make scented candles also. Although, with gel candles, you have to consider how much fragrance you are planning to use before you choose your wax. Gel wax with a lesser density can not hold as much fragrance as gel wax with a higher density.
In order to make any type of candle, you have to first melt the wax before you can pour it into your candle mold. You have to use a double boiler to melt the wax. Place a smaller pot that has the wax in it into a larger pot that is filled with water. Be careful not to put the temperature of the stovetop too high because wax can burn. You can use a thermometer and heat the wax to be around 170-180 degrees. Add the wick to the mold. After the wax is melted, you can remove it from the heat source. It is now time to add the fragrance oil. You can add one ounce of fragrance oil to one pound of wax. This will give you a 6% fragrance concentration. Make sure that you do not add too much fragrance. Although it may seem like the more fragrance the better, this is not always the case. Certain problems can arise from using too much fragrance. One thing that could happen is that the candle will not burn properly because of the higher concentration of liquid. You might end up with pools of liquid in the candle. You can always experiment with you candle making. You can keep records of how much fragrance you use to how much wax and find you own scented candle recipe.
Using things like scents and colors gives you much more variety of the things that you can create in your candle making. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to give a loved one a gift of a candle with the essence of relaxation and a calming sent to go along with it? Now that you understand a little bit more about how to make scented candles, you can do it.

1. Patent discussed by Dr. Boyd Graves. He took the cure and he said that it need to be distributed by everyone. He recently past away which is very suspicious but never the less this is a patented cure for the diseases. If you Google to a patent search website you can find it. The patent number is #5676977 – “Method of curing AIDS with tetrasilver tetroxide molecular crystal devices.”
2. Royal Raymond Rife was one of those great scientist that would do good for man-kind but got suppressed. His invention would ultimately cure cancer and many other diseases. His approach is finding the frequency in which these viruses or bacterial are destroyed without affecting any other cells.
The frequency works like breaking glass with a sound frequency except it uses radio wave frequency aim at breaking the small dedicate virus. Viruses are like little crystal that can be broken by electromagnetic waves. For example if you use electromagnetic radiation in a proper form it can kill viruses. It is well known In laboratories, scientist use UV rays to kill viruses. These Rays are what distorts the structure of the fragile bacterial and especially smaller viruses and in terms destroying them.
3. The last method is using electrical waves. Dr. Robert Beck invented a method that was founded at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the 90s by Dr. Kaali and Wyman. It wasn’t brought to any attention and Dr. Robert Beck had a hard time finding information about it until they filed a patent. The patent No. 5,188,738 is issued to treat blood with electrically conductive method. Dr. Robert Beck already had money from his camera flash patent, so I don’t think he wanted money from his finding. Therefore he spent $80,000 of his own money on independent research to help test and develop this device. This treatment is said to treat bacterial, viruses, and other known pathogens in the blood. HE said it Cure Diseases. This would be a great invention to society because Dr. Robert Beck invented a way to do this in vitro. In vitro means to do this outside without surgery and such.
I hope this was informative to everyone, and people will do more independent research. The suppression of Cures and Energy Technology is well known to me and maybe others if you seek to past that information on. It is independent research by Dr. Robert Beck and many other scientist that eventually find things that is not impeded by other interest in an organization that is controlled by corporation boards.

Have you ever thought of going on a 3 day diet? I was just surfing around and found that there are people looking for something of a short diet. If you were to do a three day diet I fear that you would not lose a lot of weight but you would have an opportunity to get in better shape by eating better and concentrating on some of those fundamentals of good eating and good metabolism tricks.
So here are some ideas that I have for how to do a three day diet.
First as you get up in the morning on the first day remember that you will be trying to do a couple of things. You will be looking to space out your eating and you will be looking to improve your water intake to help fill you up.
First thing to do is to drink a lot of water. In the 3 day diet you will likely be drinking three or four times as much water as you are used to drinking. This morning you will drink three glasses of water and no food yet. This extra water intake will mean that you are going to peeing a lot more often than you are used to but that is ok as well, your body needs to relearn how to regulate hydration better.
Most people say that you should have a good breakfast to start the day. I have to agree that this is a good idea although having food first thing is not a very good idea as your body is not ready to understand hunger yet, especially after drinking all of that water. You can use the same strategy as me and wait 30 to 60 minutes until your body has really started to churn through that water and then my favorite breakfast is to eat a pack of instant apple and cinnamon oatmeal and then a banana. I know this seems like a small breakfast but that is part of the trick.
As you go through this three day diet you will find that you are eating probably the same amount of food but spaced throughout the day so each meal will seem small and you will not feel hungry because you get to keep eating often.
Most people on the regular north American diet will eat one or two giant meals and another small one. This is a terrible way to treat your body, it can’t use those giant meals very well and your blood sugar is being shot up and then dropped down again. We should call regular eating the wrestling diet since it seems to being your blood sugar up off the top rope and then bodyslams it to the mat below. In your 3 day diet you will be eating a lot better than this with a bunch of small meals that will keep your blood sugar balanced.
So on my 3 day diet you will be eating at 8:00, 10:00, Noon, 3:00, 5:00, and 8:00
I will not tell you exactly what to eat as that would not be fair. What I suggest is that all of your meals should have some protein, some fat and some carbs and should satisfy you without making you full. The first day will be very difficult as you will be so worried about eating small meals that you may eat a bit much and then a couple hours later you will not be hungry but will still be eating.
So since this may be a radical departure for you I have just a few rules to make things easier.
1. No meal can be big. Dinner is as big as breakfast which is as big as a mid afternoon snack.
2. Eat at least 5 pieces of fruit or servings of vegetables in a day
3. Drink a large glass of water 30 minutes before each of your meals
4. Eat some kind of serving of meat 2 to 3 times a day. If you are a vegetarian then just make sure that you are eating lots of protein based foods often every day
5. Write down your foods everyday and then in the evening journal your victories as well as your mistakes and how you want to eat better the next day
After your third day of this 3 day diet you are going to find that you are not scared of your serving sizes anymore and you are also going to feel a lot better. There is a great improvement in health, concentration, energy, and attitude when you are drinking more and self regulating your blood sugar. The other great thing about this kind of diet is that you are going to be able to improve your metabolism as your body will not fear that it will be close to starvation at any point of the day.
I hope that after you have tried this three day diet that you will go ahead and start it right away again. This in not just a good idea for three days but instead this is a great way to change your lifestyle for the better.

In this modern world, it is just not enough to have only a roof over your head, something to eat and something to wear. Everyone aspires to maintain a higher standard of living and enjoy the luxuries of life. Material comfort which were once luxuries have now become an essential and basic part of an ordinary household.
Though the wish to be rich and successful seems to be a driving force for all and sundry, only a few seem to be able to find the way to attain the riches that an average person dreams about. For some there is a sudden windfall in some form of another. Are there any techniques that could be followed to become reasonably rich if not extremely rich?
Some people work conscientiously and diligently all their live, are prudent in their expenditure, save the extra money and slowly acquire the luxuries in life. They follow the beaten path.
One of the ways to become financially sound is to get yourself a good education, land yourself a good job, work steadily up the ladder to the top and become financially sound. With a professional degree, the climbing is accelerated and you also enjoy a social status in the community. As a professional you have the potential to earn more money than the average person and obtain your desires.
With the global meltdown slowing down the economy, it is at present, wiser to stay on the beaten path than trying to striking out to seemingly greener pastures. It does not mean that you should not be ambitious but just that you should be wise and careful.
Investing your savings wisely in safe instruments like immovable property is a good way to become financially successful. Do not let your money stagnate. Keeping aside a portion of it for immediate expenses, the best thing is to invest it. Even a savings account in the bank could grow to a sizable nest egg if the savings is done regularly. You could think of taking a portion of your savings and investing it in stocks and bonds. Consult a good investment broker or a brokerage firm for advice. Mutual funds are another safe way to invest money.
You could think of renting out a portion of your residence, if you have the extra space. If you have the expertise, the time and the inclination you could become a part-time consultant. Another way of making money is the Internet. Without being too greedy and dabbling in all sorts of Internet programs, you could fine one that requires little or no investment and start a home based business.
There are enough home based jobs that can be done in your free time that can bring you enough money to meet some of your household expenditure. And if your home based business gathers momentum there is the possibility of turning it into a full fledged business.
All you require is attitude, the aptitude and the will to succeed and you can find a way to financial success.
