Fitness Health Benefit

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Genie Wallace</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>It is regrettable that many people find themselves overweight and out of shape. Modern lifestyles factors, which include processed foods diets, sedentary office work environments and the various media outlets, have caused a good portion to ignore or forget the effect these have on their health. Working out can help you drop some weight, lower cholesterol levels, improve stamina and build immunity. An exercise machine, like a home treadmill trainer, can make it easy to incorporate regular fitness and exercise activities into your busy routine.<br /> <br /> Benefits of Having a Treadmill<br /> <br /> Treadmills are used to walk, jog and run on. Some people use them to condition their bodies, such as to lose weight. Others use them to train on, most often for races and marathons. Treadmills offer more opportunities for engaging in intensive cardio workouts than other gym fitness units. There are various treadmill workout apps to lose weight, build muscle or simply improve stamina. Treadmills are great fitness machines because they can be used in so many different ways. Athletes use them to train on, casual users use them to stay fit, and overweight people use them to lose weight.<br /> <br /> Standard Treadmill Features<br /> <br /> Speed adjustment is a basic and important feature on treadmills. Incline adjustment capability is another commonly found feature in treadmills, and it allows you to lift the tread belt to different heights. The purpose of these options is intended to help make doing exercises fun and different. You'll have the ability to personalize your workouts so that you're always interested and engaged.<br /> <br /> Modern treadmills have many inbuilt workout programs. These programs include workouts designed for targeted fitness goals such as weight loss and training. Just select the app before you begin and follow the treadmill's instructions. As the workout program advances, you'll note that the speed and incline of the tread belt running change. The pace and the resistance levels will vary, so go with a program that you know you'll be comfortable with.<br /> <br /> Some treadmill programs work to exercise your heart. A heart rate sensor assists in these types of workouts. Most heart rate monitors are either clipped to the body somewhere or held in the hand. More expensive treadmill trainer models utilize a chest-strap heart rate monitor, which many say is more accurate when it comes to monitoring your heart rate and calories burned. A treadmill trainer can have several different monitors, in addition to a heart rate monitor. These monitors help you monitor various fitness levels as you workout.<br /> <br /> Something you might be surprised to know is that treadmills usually have customization settings. Built-in system memory can enable you to retain personalized workout analytics or programs. The capability to remember customized workouts is most helpful when there are multiple users of the treadmill machine. Select treadmills have the ability to store workout history. If you're interested in documenting and referencing previous workout sessions so that you can keep track of fitness progress made, choose one of these.<br /> <br /> iFit Live technology is a advanced treadmill feature that gives you hundreds of virtual courses reproducing those at the live destinations. For example, athletes can train from home for a marathon being held in another city. See how well you compare against others on certain race courses with iFit Compete Live. Any treadmill machine that has Internet connectivity and is compatible with the iFit Live technology can run this multipurpose feature. Advanced treadmills also have full-color LCD touch screens and a music player to keep your rhythm going when you exercise.<br /> <br /> Parts of a Treadmill<br /> <br /> A treadmill trainer consists of a wide conveyor belt controlled by an electric motor or flywheel of varying power. The belt moves over rollers, which accommodate to whatever speed setting you've fixed in the treadmill's electronics. The running deck fits with the treadmill machine belt and rollers to support and move you through. Select treadmills have running decks that can be elevated, providing different inclines to work out on. Mix up your exercises and never be bored with another workout session.<br /> <br /> Almost all running decks are mounted on damping materials to make the treadmill trainer shock-absorbent. Decks are furnished with a cushioned belt to lessen impact on the feet, but usually the level of cushioning can be adjusted. The components just described all work in conjunction in giving you varying workout experiences.<br /> <br /> Yet another good thing to note about a treadmill's design: some have foldable decks and others have non-foldable decks. The foldable variety be more effective for home gyms where space is limited. The running deck can be folded up to meet the treadmill machine arms. Foldable treadmills tend to cost more than non-foldable ones. You'll find that non-foldable treadmills are more commonplace as they are less costly and more long-lasting in construction.<br /> <br /> Assortment of Treadmill Systems<br /> <br /> It's important to look at a treadmill's feature set, but take note to the treadmill's design and intended user type. A treadmill machine engineered only for walking will cost less than a jogger's treadmill; a running treadmill trainer will be the most expensive. More body weight causes more impact and wear on the treadmill trainer; it needs a more robust motor to support heavy users and thus comes at a higher price. Taller users need a treadmill with a longer tread belt that can easily accommodate their long strides. The more often a treadmill machine is used, the more important it is to get a reliable and durable machine. Any workout system you get is an investment into your health. Take some time to do your research and read some <a href="http://www.fitnessexercise.mynetworksolutions.com/">exercise treadmill reviews</a> and see what people are raving about.<br /> <br /> Take Away<br /> <br /> There are various techniques that exercising helps improve your health and your fitness. A fitness treadmill at home can help you attain these benefits. Take some time to think about what your health and fitness needs are. Also, measure the space available at home to place the treadmill and think about the type of users and designed usage. Be sure you take into account the prices of different treadmill trainer models. You can get carried away and pick something that's beyond your price range.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'><a href="http://workoutwarrior.hpage.com/">Treadmill review sites</a> are useful places to get more details. Look into some and see what folks are raving about and what products are best-selling.</div><br /> </div><br />

Is Diet More Important Than Exercising?

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Howe Russ</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>You have probably heard people in gyms around the world asking the question is diet more important than exercise so today we are going to help you get to the bottom of this popular issue.<br /> <br /> Depending upon who you ask and their own fitness background, it's highly likely that you will get a different answer every time you pose this question to somebody. Ultimately, many of us base our decision purely off our own experiences and opinions. For instance, everybody has a friend who is always trying to latest celebrity diet plan. That friend will probably put huge faith in their eating plan being the most important factor because it's what they know.<br /> <br /> Likewise, however, those with a long background of exercise under their belts will be much more likely to advise you that you need to concentrate more on the fitness aspect of your lifestyle. Many people even go as far as to advise that if you do this effectively, you can pretty much eat whatever you want. So who is correct?<br /> <br /> Neither approach is correct if you are trying to achieve your best possible physique.<br /> <br /> Rather than see the potential benefits of both areas, people tend to place a priority on one over the other. This ends up leading them down a path towards failure, of course. For instance, if you ever hear somebody telling another person that your diet makes up 80 percent of your results and exercise only accounts for the other twenty percent, try to avoid falling into the same mentality.<br /> <br /> At the end of the day you should be applying both factors if you want to see results and maintain them. If you are trying to work out how to lose weight and you only apply the rules of one principle you will tend to fall into one of two categories, both of which can be seen at most gyms and workplaces around the world:<br /> <br /> * The person who consistently follows new eating plans, often picked up from celebrity gossip magazines or New Year weight loss plans. They don't combine this with regular exercise, though, and even though they are able to drop some pounds through a healthier lifestyle they don't actually look any healthier at all. They haven't worked out, so their body is no more toned than it was three months ago.<br /> <br /> * The person who seems to live in the local gym. They are there every time you walk through the door and they are still there when you leave, yet they certainly don't work there! These people are more than happy to do endless hours of cardio or throw the weights around, but the most they look into their eating habits seems to be a protein supplement when they're finished exercising. These folks are usually equipped with fairly well defined muscles in their shoulders, arms and chest but pair it with a pot belly or undefined, flabby abdominal muscles.<br /> <br /> The fact of the matter is that common sense must prevail if you are to get anywhere. If you are interested in dropping unwanted pounds and actually maintaining the results you should be avoiding falling into one of the two popular stereotypes shown above.<br /> <br /> It's almost like trying to decide whether fuel is more important than your car. At the end of the day, neither is very useful on their own. The correct approach is to apply both factors to your lifestyle and realize that neither is more important than the other. They are not in competition for your attention, they are two things which are designed to work together. If you are able to apply the basic principles of a good nutritional plan and a healthy workout program you will see positive change and the results will be sustainable, too. <br /> <br /> In a recent interview, former bodybuilding champion Jay Cutler was asked the question is diet more important than exercise and his answer perfectly summed up the correct approach. Whether you are trying to discover how to lose weight or get bigger, ultimately it's 100 percent diet and it's 100 percent exercise.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>About the author: Find out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oGRMaqPfdk">how to lose weight</a> with the UK's most watched Fitness Instructor Russ Howe PTI for free.

The next frontier is exomoons—moons orbiting alien planets—which are much smaller, fainter and harder to find. Now astronomers say they may have found an oddball system of a planet and a moon floating free in the galaxy rather than orbiting a star.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">The system showed up in a study using micro lensing, which looks for the bending of starlight due to the gravitational pull of an unseen object between a star and Earth. In this case the massive object might well be a planet and a moon. But the signal is not very clear, the researchers acknowledge, and could instead represent a dim star and a lightweight planet. “An alternate star-plus-planet model fits the data almost as well” as the planet-plus-moon explanation, the scientists reported in a paper that was posted this week on the preprint site <em style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.3951" style="border: 0px; color: #0086c6; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">arXiv</a></em>. The study has not yet been peer-reviewed.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">"I was excited by this paper," says astronomer Jean Schneider of the Paris Observatory, who was not involved in the research. Exomoons have "become fashionable these days," he adds, and are one of his personal "holy grails." Schneider wrote a paper in 1999 on how to detect exomoons using an alternative method, called transiting. (The transit technique looks for the dimming of a star's light caused when a planet or moon passes in front of the star from Earth's perspective).</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">Now that astronomers know planets are common in the galaxy, exomoons, too, are likely to abound, scientists say. Yet they are exceedingly hard to find, due to their diminutive size and lack of brightness. The authors of the new paper, led by David Bennett of the University of Notre Dame, note that micro lensing is promising because it can detect moons beyond the close-in satellites that transit searches are best equipped to find. Regardless of whether the new system turns out to include a moon, "these results indicate the potential of micro lensing to detect exomoons," the authors wrote.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">Micro lensing is a type of gravitational lensing, an effect on light predicted by Albert Einstein's <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/topic.cfm?id=relativity" style="border: 0px; color: #0086c6; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">general theory of relativity</a>. According to Einstein’s theory, massive objects warp the spacetime in their vicinity, so that anything, even light, will take a curved path around them. When light from a background star travels past a massive object on its way to our telescopes, it manifests in bright circles of warped light called Einstein rings. If the massive object consists of two bodies, such as a planet and its moon, the circle will appear broken and bulgy in places. Sometimes the ring is too small to resolve the details, but the overall <a href="http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/life-unbounded/2012/03/07/gravitational-mesolensing-and-the-hunt-for-exoplanet/" style="border: 0px; color: #0086c6; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">micro lensing effect</a> can be calculated by the way the star’s overall brightness varies in time.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">Bennett and his colleagues have identified a two-body system, which they designate MOA-2011-BLG-262, from micro lensing data collected at the Mount John University Observatory in New Zealand and the Mount Canopus Observatory in Tasmania. But the researchers cannot be sure which two bodies caused the brightness fluctuations. The explanation that best fits the data is a giant planet, about four times the mass of Jupiter, orbited by a moon weighing less than Earth. If that interpretation is correct, the planet and its moon would be relatively nearby, between 1,000 and 2,000 light-years from Earth, and would be adrift in the Milky Way rather than part of a system circling one of the galaxy’s stars. Scientists think such free-floating objects might be relatively common, because gravitational interactions between multiple planets in a system can eject one or more of the planets entirely, perhaps with a moon in tow.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">Another possibility is that the researchers have detected a more distant system comprising a small star, around one tenth the mass of the sun, and a planet roughly 18 times as massive as Earth. This system would need to be much farther away to explain the micro lensing pattern.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">Unfortunately, there is no chance for astronomers to take another peek at the object to confirm their suspicions, because it has moved out of alignment with the background star and now produces no lensing signal. This is "the most frustrating aspect" of the find, Schneider says, and is "common to all detections by micro lensing."</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">On the bright side, he says, the discovery has brought numerous surprises. It has highlighted the potential of micro lensing at a time when most of the field is focusing on the transit method, and it has potentially revealed a free-floating system whereas astronomers have mainly been looking for moons orbiting planets around stars. "It forces us," Schneider says, "to be always open-minded."</div></div>

Ideas On How To Get Flat Abs For Women

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Amanda Baird</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>Learning how to get flat abs for women helps them eliminate the layer of fat that forms around the stomach. This is the basic of getting a shapely body. It makes all the other exercises worthwhile. In order to achieve this ultimate goal, you need to take a combination of exercises that target certain areas. Diet is another crucial element in this regard.<br /> <br /> One of the oldest and most effective strategies is aerobic. It offers more benefits include easy temperature control and better circulation. For the exercises to be effective, they should be done for approximately thirty minutes in a day. Taking two days off during the week helps you achieve your goals in a healthy manner. This should be done consistently. A professional trainer will help you reach optimum levels of workout and maintain safely.<br /> <br /> Exercising can be fun through such activities as running, dancing, swimming, walking and cycling. These activities help you regulate the rate of heart beat and in the process improve your health. Cardio training should be alternated between intensive and mild. An example is sprinting and walking alternations for around twenty minutes. You should catch your breath and resume the sprint.<br /> <br /> Stomach fats are easy to deal with through polymetric exercises. An example is the squat thrust where one begins at a sit up position and spreads the hands and legs by jumping to the highest possible level. This strains the body when repeated for fifteen to twenty steps in a progressive manner. An X jump is a variation of this move but one begins from a sitting position. Ensure that you push your body to the edges.<br /> <br /> Strength training helps the body to build muscle by burning calories and increasing metabolism. Examples are crunches, leg raises and side bends which exercise the upper and lower abdomens as well as obliques. You should do between fifteen and twenty five steps every day. There are compound exercises that are as effective. They include dead lifts. Heavy weights should be included.<br /> <br /> Proper diet forms a crucial part of a healthy body. You are advised to avoid junk foods like chips and sweets. The best alternatives for these foods are fruits and vegetables. You should opt for lean proteins found in nuts, beans and lean meat. Whole grains help you avoid overeating since you will be fuller for long. Take food in small portions until you feel full. You should take breaks during meals so that you can detect when you are getting full.<br /> <br /> Experts advise that you check on the glycemic index of the foods you take. The lower they are, the healthier for you. The options available in this regard are broccoli, carrots, berries, cabbages, apples, tomatoes and bananas. You should complete your meals two hours before you go to sleep. This is because of a slowed body metabolism that affects digestion.

The system is quite complex and is only available for high-beam use, according to BMW. Low-beam lights will continue to use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to project light on the road.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">BMW says the laser headlights produce two times the visibility range of conventional high-beam headlights, while using less energy -- energy that can instead be used by the car’s electric motor for additional driving range or power.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">Howstuffworks explains <a href="http://auto.howstuffworks.com/laser-powered-headlight3.htm" style="border: 0px; color: #0088c3; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_hplink">how BMW's laser system manages to illuminate the road</a>without harming the retinas of other drivers and passersby: </div><blockquote style="background-color: #f0f0f0; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 15px 0px; padding: 15px;">What happens with each light is that three blue lasers positioned at the rear of the assembly fire onto a set of mirrors closer to the front. Those mirrors focus the laser energy into a lens filled with yellow phosphorus. The yellow phosphorus, when excited by the blue laser, emits an intense white light. That white light shines backward, onto a reflector. The reflector then bounces the more diffused white light forward, shining it out of the front of the headlight casing as a beam that is powerful, yet still able to be gazed upon.</blockquote><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;"></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">The Huffington Post reached out to BMW to find out how much the optional laser headlights will cost on the i8, as well as to find out if and when other models may receive this technology, but did not receive an immediate response.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">According to the carmaker's website, the<a href="http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/content/vehicles/2014/bmwi/bmwi_i8redirect.aspx" style="border: 0px; color: #0088c3; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_hplink"> i8 will go from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds</a>, while burning fuel at a rate of up to 94 mpg.

Ideas For Improving Your Face Including Lip Injections Utah Spas Offer

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Roxy Albright</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>Beauty tends to begin at our faces, and we will discuss ideas for improving it including the lip injections Utah medical estheticians may offer. There are many products and services out there for improving our facial features and characteristics. Some things we may try are not always the best ideas though. We will discuss the pros and cons of various ideas like using weight loss programs like Vive weight loss or getting the lip injections Utah spas offer. This short article will cover three different ideas for improving facial appearance, and whether they're good ideas.<br /> <br /> First, we will talk about how permanent cosmetics can be something that many women look to for improving their looks. Second, we will discuss getting wrinkle fillers or lip injections Utah cosmetic professionals can provide. Third, we will discuss how weight loss can actually be a method for improving the appearance of our faces.<br /> <br /> Permanent cosmetics solutions might be among the things people may desire to improve their looks. Many people can benefit greatly from these treatments, which utilize tattoos that look like makeup. As an example, individuals who have burned off their eyebrow hairs may want permanent eyebrow fills. Others might find this type of permanent makeup helpful as it could reduce the amount of time they spend applying makeup. Nonetheless, just like other cosmetic treatments such as the lip injections Utah citizens may want, this could cost a decent amount. It might also lessen the variety of looks a face may have through cosmetics.<br /> <br /> Getting the wrinkle reduction treatments or lip injections Utah medical estheticians can offer may be another strategy for improving facial appearance. Many lip injection or wrinkle filler procedures are fairly low impact. They can improve facial appearance by reducing wrinkles and making lips appear fuller and smoother. However, these operations can be somewhat costly. They may also lead to uncomfortable swelling or bruising. It's also important to make sure you use a qualified professional as proper application and products are important for safety.<br /> <br /> Losing weight may not be the very first thing we think about when we wish to improve our faces. Nevertheless, for many who have some excess weight, shedding some pounds could give them a more slender face that shows off more facial structure. It may help to use programs like Vive weight loss, but this may be somewhat expensive. The most useful idea for losing weight would probably be to talk it over with a physician and to work hard.<br /> <br /> Employing various treatments and resources like Vive weight loss or the lip injections Utah spa services provide could be able to help, but getting your most beautiful face must be done carefully and without rushed decisions.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>Want to find out more about <a href='http://www.elase.com/utah/vive-weight-loss'>vive weight loss</a>, then visit Esme Spence's site on how to choose this or other services like <a href='http://www.elase.com/utah/lip-augmentation'>lip injections Utah</a> for your needs.</div><br /> </div><br />

Card issuers might not have been able to prevent the recent data breach at Target, but if they had upgraded to more secure technology, they could have deterred thieves from using that stolen information to make counterfeit credit cards.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">U.S. banks rely on credit cards with magnetic strips, which can be easily reproduced by thieves, while European banks have issued millions of more modern "smart cards" that are embedded with computer chips. Smart cards encrypt transaction information, require thieves to know the cardholder’s PIN, and can generate one-time-only passwords.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">Smart cards would not eliminate credit card fraud entirely. The technology can stop criminals from using stolen credit cards in checkout lines, but it would not prevent thieves from using cards online, where people type their credit card numbers to make purchases.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">But if U.S. banks issued smart cards, "you would stamp out counterfeit cards," said David Robertson, publisher of The Nilson Report, a credit card industry trade publication.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">“Anyone can make a counterfeit magnetic strip card, but a chip is far different,” Robertson said. “You’re not going to have crooks making chips.”</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">The credit card industry plans to transition to smart cards, but the deadline for retailers to accept them or be held liable for fraudulent transactions is still nearly two years away. Some say that card issuers should have switched sooner, given that smart cards have been around for about two decades and credit card breaches have been happening for years.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">"This Target breach could be the real impetus to moving toward chip cards," Robertson said.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">U.S. banks still rely on credit cards with magnetic strips, largely because upgrading to cards with chips would be expensive, according to Robertson.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">It costs about five times more to make a credit card with a chip than a magnetic card, he said. In addition, U.S. banks have been reluctant to issue smart cards because they would require retailers to make expensive upgrades to their payment systems, which companies have been unwilling to do, Robertson said.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">Robertson also said banks have been slow to transition to smart cards because digital wallets -- which would allow shoppers to make purchases by waving smartphones instead of cards -- are on the horizon and could make smart cards irrelevant.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">Jason Oxman, chief executive officer of the Electronic Transactions Association, which represents the payments industry, said the industry was moving toward smart cards but the transition was complicated. Eight million merchants in the U.S. that currently accept credit cards would need to upgrade, and 1 billion credit and debit cards in circulation would need to be replaced, he said.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">“It’s not quite as simple as snapping a finger,” he said.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">Oxman noted that the amount of fraud is still relatively small. Companies that issue credit and debit cards lose about 6 cents to fraud for every $100 worth of credit and debit card transactions, he said. For companies like Visa and Mastercard, the loss has historically been seen as the cost of doing business, Robertson said. Card issuers could create one-time-only passwords for online transactions, but have “decided that’s too much to ask consumers,” he added.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">Target has apologized for the recent breach, which occurred between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, and offered a discount on purchases at its stores last weekend and free credit monitoring to affected shoppers.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">But credit card data from Target shoppers has already started appearing on black market websites that sell information for as much as $100 per card, <a href="http://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/12/non-us-cards-used-at-target-fetch-premium/" style="border: 0px; color: #0088c3; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_hplink">according to security blogger Brian Krebs</a>.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">Some banks have either canceled debit and credit cards belonging to Target shoppers or placed <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/21/us-target-jpmorgan-idUSBRE9BK0D020131221" style="border: 0px; color: #0088c3; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_hplink">spending limits</a> on customers who used their cards at Target during the breach.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">Oxman said Target shoppers who lost money from the breach would be made whole.</div><div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">For many shoppers, the frustration caused by the Target breach has come as they try to do last-minute Christmas shopping.

The Astonishingly Easy And Unbelievably Simple Means To Lose Weight

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Betsy B</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>Hi, my name is Betsy, and I want to share my phen375 review with you. I am a 34-year-old married teacher with three beautiful children at home: ages 2, 4, and 7. I work full-time at the school, and full-time at home as well. It takes a lot of time and energy to care for the house, the kids, and my husband. It seems as though there are never-ending chores which fill up my evenings and weekends... cooking, grocery shopping, laundry for five people, cleaning, and chasing after my little ones. The list is much longer than that, but I want to get to the point of my story so you can read my phen375 review.<br /> <br /> After I had my youngest kid a little over two years ago, I attempted to slim down. According to my doctor, I had to lose about 40 pounds to be at a healthy weight for my body type. I asked family and friends how they had actually lost weight, and I tried the diet plans which worked for them. But eating like a bird left me feeling quick-tempered, depressed and exhausted. I decided to sign up with a gym and start working out, however with all of my work and house responsibilities, my health club membership went unused. That was a lot of money out the window. I wish I had discovered the phen375 reviews alot sooner.<br /> <br /> Desperate, obese, and really annoyed, I started browsing the Internet for weight loss ideas. I thought perhaps there was some wonder diet I hadn't attempted yet which would help me get in shape. You see, for our upcoming 10th wedding anniversary, my husband had planned a charming trip to Hawaii ... and there was no chance I can show myself on a beach in a swimwear offering all those extra pounds. While I was online, I came across some phen375 reviews.<br /> <br /> After checking out every last phen375 review I might find, I decided I would give the product a try. It appeared insane that something might work so well and help me lose weight so easily. I felt a little weird about getting the product considering that I had actually never attempted anything like it in the past. But I chose to do something different than what I had been trying, and I bought phen375. <br /> <br /> I was still a little skeptical when I received my package in the mail, but from the very first week I began taking the product, I started to lose weight! The phen375 reviews I had read stated that I would receive a suggested diet plan designed especially for me along with the product. So I followed the diet plan exactly, and I didn't feel hungry like I had on other diets. Indeed, I thought, this product is amazing!<br /> <br /> Our romantic 10th anniversary vacation to Hawaii is about 3 weeks away, and I have already lost 35 pounds. I feel certain I can reach my goal of 40 pounds of weight-loss prior to our journey. I currently look amazing in my brand-new swimsuit, and I have a lot more energy than I use to when I was overweight. I had to share my own phen375 review with you, just in case you are in the exact same weight-loss rut I was in prior to discovering this wonder pill.<br /> <br /> If you are still not convinced, there are plenty of phen375 reviews online for you to read. Try this product, you will not be disappointed!<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>Want to find out more about <a href='http://bestweightlosspillstouse.wordpress.com'>phen 375</a>, then visit Betsy B's site www.phen375-review.org to read her full <a href='http://phen375-review.org/'>phen375 review</a> in living colour.</div><br /> </div><br />
