So you want to learn how to survive prison? I have done a couple years behind bars and most of my friends are ex convicts as well. I sat them down and we made up the following list of rules you must follow to survive and not get killed behind bars. Yes, jail or prison is a very dangerous place but being able to make the best of it will either make or break you, kill you or make you survive.

How to survive prison #1 - Always stay in touch with your family and friends. Being able to know that you have people on the outside that care about you is a big part of keeping your mind balanced. Be sure to get visits from family. However, when you get mail from your family or friends, rip off the return addresses, and when you make phone calls cover the dial pad with your spare hand. You don’t want any other inmates harassing your family or friends cause they have beef with you.

How to survive prison #2 - Never gamble and never borrow items off of inmates. If an inmate offers to help you out right as you arrive in your cell block say no. If he offers you food, cigarettes, or whatever, say no. Chances are you will be in debt to that inmate for double or triple of what he gave you. So stay away from this trick and don’t get victimized by the scam artists in there. Live off what you have. However if you dont have much learn how to bargain and trade the things you do have.

How to survive prison #3 - Be respectful to the guards anf follow their rules but don’t turn into an informant. Another thing is to not be seen hanging out with the guards or being their friends. Just remember that guards aren’t your friends and they can betray you at any time. Keep this in mind. Also, if you see an act of violence or a crime, and that guard asks you what you saw, always say you saw nothing. If another inmate stabs another inmate, and it happens right in front of you, you tell the guards you saw nothing. In jail if you stand on trial in a course case or testify this makes you a rat. And a dead man.

How to survive prison #4 - I suggest you study martial arts and look into self defense courses. Knowing how to fight is one of the biggest survival tactics of the prison system. If someone threatens you, or starts problems with you, and you can’t talk your way out of it, throw fists. Just be aware of the people you are fighting and their political status behind bars. If they are in a gang be careful, but always stand your ground. Don’t be a coward and take a beating cause it will happen often. Soon enough another inmate will own you, because you need protection. Making you his punk.

If dieting has slowed your metabolism down don’t worry. You CAN speed your metabolism back up.

Your body is designed to survive food shortages by slowing down your metabolism under starvation conditions. It’s pretty smart that way. But in modern times too much food, is the problem. And when you diet your body produces fat storage hormones, just the opposite of what you want it to do!

As smart as your body is, you can learn to outsmart it. Through scientific discoveries, trial and error, and observing what works, some people have learned how to work with the body’s fat burning and storage mechanism to trick it into producing the hormones you want, the ones that will cause you to easily lose weight and keep if off permanently.

There are many ways to restore your metabolism back to a normal healthy state so that you can continue to lose weight or break that weight loss plateau. There are certain foods that have been shown to raise metabolism, but that is only a small part of how you use food to lose weight.

You can include metabolism boosting foods in your diet such as yogurt, almonds, apples, grapefruit, oatmeal, beans, spinach, and turkey. Eating spices such as cinnamon, curry, and hot peppers have been shown to speed up metabolism. Both coffee and green tea can increase your metabolism, but drink in moderation so you don’t get too hooked on the caffeine. Grapefruit has unique metabolism boosting properties, but is known to interact with some medications, so please check your medicine cabinet first. Coconut oil has gotten a bad rap but is actually a very healthy fat that boosts your metabolism.

Your grandmother was right. You shouldn’t skip breakfast! The act of eating breakfast increases your metabolism.

Strength training, even more than cardio exercises, will speed up metabolism. The more muscle you have, the more fat you burn 24/7, not just when you are exercising.

By all means, incorporate any metabolism boosting foods in your diet if you enjoy them. But by far, the more important thing you can do with food is use it to manipulate your body into producing fat burning hormones in ample amounts. You can do this by eating the right kinds of food, in the right balance, at the right frequency. Once you learn this way of eating your body will burn fat 24/7 so that you can take the weight off and keep it off while eating plenty of food you love.

MELBOURNE: Australia on Monday “unreservedly” condemned the murder of an Indian national as New Delhi angrily slammed the attack and warned it

could hurt bilateral ties.

Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard stressed that Australia welcomed foreign students after accounting graduate Nitin Garg, 21, was stabbed by unknown attackers Saturday night before collapsing in the Melbourne burger restaurant where he worked.

Indian students have been hit by hundreds of alleged race attacks, prompting street protests last year and damaging Australia’s lucrative international education industry.

“I obviously unreservedly condemn this attack,” Gillard said. “People in Melbourne’s west, people around the nation, I think they will be joining together to say we unreservedly condemn this violence.”

She was speaking after India decried the murder as a “crime on humanity” and said it would “certainly” affect ties between the two countries.

“This heinous crime on humanity, this is an uncivilised brutal attack on innocent Indians,” Indian Foreign Minister S M Krishna told reporters.

“It certainly will have some bearing on the bilateral ties between our two countries,” he added.

Police have said there is no evidence the murder was racially motivated, but also told AFP that 1,447 people of Indian descent were crime victims in Victoria state in the 12 months to July 2008.

Gautam Gupta, president of the Federation of Indian Students of Australia, said many more attacks went unreported and questioned why police were playing down race as a factor.

“If they have not caught the criminal, how can they eliminate racism as being behind this attack,” Gupta told AFP. “What were they expecting to find on the scene? A business card saying: ‘I am a racist’?”

According to his housemate Parminder Singh, Garg, understood to be from Punjab in northern India, had been targeted by drunken louts at a train station in an earlier incident.

“They were just drunk and they wanted to find anyone to beat,” Singh said.

“If they find someone alone they just beat (them) because they know nothing is going to happen after that. What will happen? Police will not do anything.”

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, Gillard and Victoria Premier John Brumby have all visited India recently to ease frictions and promote the 15.4 billion US dollar foreign education export industry, Australia’s fourth largest export earner.

Australia has forecast a 20 percent drop in students from India next year after earlier attacks prompted a barrage of negative publicity in the country.

Each allegedly racial attack sparks outrage on India’s passionate TV news channels, amid rising concern from families and friends of students studying in the country that was previously seen as a safe and even glamorous destination.

Following Garg’s death, India’s Mail Today tabloid splashed the headline “Racist Aussie gang knifes Indian to death” across its front page as it slammed Australian police for failing to protect Indian students from “hate gangs”.

But deputy police commissioner Kieran Walshe said Victoria had a large Indian population and he did not believe the community was being singled out.

“I don’t believe that there has been any really detailed rascist motives around assaults on Indian people in the past,” he told reporters.

“In some cases there may well be. But in the general sense of it, a lot it we’ve seen has been around opportunistic theft.”

Australia attracted some 117,000 Indian students in the year to October, about 19 percent of foreign enrolments as universities and colleges actively target the country’s growing middle class.

Australia’s education sector has also been tarnished by a series of visa scams involving agents who exploit foreign students.

Florida’s Fort Lauderdale has been a top tourist destination for decades. One of its primary attractions are the plentiful yacht facilities. Many have gained repute and esteem as some of the finest in the world. The Monaco Yacht Show has even recognized this city’s impressive yacht facilities. In some ways Fort Lauderdale is indeed the Monaco of Florida, with yachts belonging to the rich and fampus based there – and both Fort lauderdale and Monaco have exclusive yacht shows annually in October. And of course Monaco has the Grand Prix run around the streets of Monte Carlo and Casino Square, while Florida has Daytona.

There was a time when the mention of Ft. Lauderdale brought preconceived notions of party kids from colleges all over the country. Spring Break became a notorious event. Through the years the city has lost that trivial image. Ft. Lauderdale is trumped today as being the American version of Venice, Italy. This city also has an extensive structure of intricate canals.

Ft. Lauderdale is the seventh largest city in Florida. This means it is a convenient location for travel of all types. Port Everglades is just a few miles from the city and estimates state around 3 thousand cruise trips depart from this port every year. Ft. Lauderdale is currently the yachting city of America. All major international yacht charter brokers, yacht brokers, and agencies for crew have local offices within the city. The city also has an impressive corporate and business network that easily supports the yachting industry. Ft. Lauderdale hosts the annual boat show held every October. This festival is the largest in America. The city offers many related services for those who don’t own yachts. Yacht chartering or renting companies are common. You can also hire a crew or staff to assist you on your yacht. The chartering isn’t limited to the oceans surrounding Ft. Lauderdale. You can also opt to use services that focus on the Gulf Coast and Caribbean islands.

The most popular destination for yachting in Florida is the keys. The Florida Keys are tropical and offer smooth sailing. There is a great deal of distance to be explored even though the islands are seemingly small on geographic maps. The are more than 100 miles just between Key West and Key Largo.

Visitors can easily break each of the five islands down into even smaller communities and towns. Every community carries its own tradition and history. Yachters aren’t limited to the keys or even the open seas. You can also explore any of the many barrier islands, rivers, harbors, anchorages, marinas, and natural parks. The more daring yachter will look forward to the open seas of the Gulf of Mexico. Yachts are also an important faucet of the global market. General estimates in the field state that 76 percent of yachts ordered will be custom designs. The jobs associated with the yachting industry are often high-paying and plentiful. One manufacturing company can bring quite a number of positions to a single location.

Departing Dar by Safari Landrover is always a satisfying experience. One you have left the suburbs behind the plains open up in front of you and you begin to remember why you are here. There is a very satisfying feeling of the size of the wilderness into which you are heading. Rounding the Uluguru Mountians outside Morogoro I stared hard at the wispy cloud covering the peaks. Most of the forest was gone on the Morogoro side, used for firewood no doubt. ; The next exciting part of the journey was through Mikumi National Park. Elephants, buffalo, giraffe, baboons, eland and impala were all seen from the window as we passed through the park. The TANZAM highway passes through this park and there are a number of speed bumps to prevent roadkill incidents. This does not seem to work that well as the buses hurtle through at 120km per hour!

After stopping for a superb lunch of pizza and chips at kikoboga wildlife lodge we continued on into the Kilombero Valley. This valley is the largest seasonal wetland in East Africa and is the main regulator of the Rufiji River and hence the Selous ecosystem. The tarmac gave way to dust road and progress became slower despite our sturdy land rover and accomplished driver. On one side we passed the huge sugar plantations of the Kilombero. These vast mono-cultures make lots of money for a few individuals and provide subsistance level living for many others. They also are like a desert in terms of biodiviersity.

The udzungwas reared shear on our left as we crossed the Great Ruaha River via an old box girder type bridge. We immediately saw a sign for the Udzungwa Mountain National Park. We continued for another 35km along the dirt road and arrived at the Park Head quaters in Mangula. here we paid our entrance fees, picked up a guide before returning back to sart our climb up Sanje Falls. ; We started walking through Miombo woodland which slowly gave way to lowland tropical forest. It was hot until we got under the majestic canopy of these giant trees. Many had huge buttress roots creating natural sanctuaries for lizards, frogs and snakes.

Another thing that struck us was the large number of species of butterflies found in the forest at varying altitudes. This combined with the birds really made it clear that Udzungwa is one of the most diverse parks in Tanzania. ; We became aware of a mixed troop of black and white and red colobus up ahead – they stay together for mutual defence as they do not compete with one another as the former eats old leaves and the later new. The name ‘colobus’ comes from the Greek ‘colobe’meaning cripple – this is a misnomer as they are incredibly agile relishing the aboreal existance. The only time you see them afraid is when an eagle comes overhead, this causes them to descend fast from their dizzy heights.

On reaching the top of the falls we went for a swim in the plunge pool of a higher waterfall this was simply amazingg, cool fresh water washing away the sweat and grime of the climb. We found endemic african violets growing on the side of the fall in the spray zone. This was a very pleasant discovery. As the sun set we sat by a cracklng fire ad enjoyed a superb dinner. We shone torches around the vegitationa by camp and discovered many pygmy chamelons and treefrogs. We drifted to sleep to the sound of rushing water and the chitter of tree hyraxes.

Dawn found us sitting on the rocks above the 180m falls. Here we we watched the sun burn through the haze, a firey orb emerging to flood the plains with light. After breakfast we descende the train again looking for primates. We were treated to som guenons and vervet monkeys as well as black and white colobus. Udzungwa is a beautiful place with a lot to be said for it – I am looking forward to my next visit.
