Rapid Network

Are you experiencing rapid hair loss and not sure what to do about it? Depending on the cause of your rapid hair loss, you may be able to stop it from happening. This article will help weigh out your options to see if you can actually do something to keep your hair longer.

Now obviously there are multiple rapid hair loss causes that can contribute in some way to hair-loss. Things like environmental factors, nutrition, and your diet can play a big difference in the amount of nutrients you are absorbing into your hair and bloodstream. If you deal with a lot of stress from traumatic and life-changing events like a death in the family or a serious car accident, it could actually cause hair loss as well.

Then there is also those people that have a certain disease, are undergoing chemotherapy or other radiation treatment, or are taking a certain type of medication that can also experience rapid hair loss. But unfortunately, there isn't really any treatments out there that can help these people grow their hair back. In most cases, it will actually grow back itself.

But out of all rapid hair loss victims, 95% of all cases are considered male or female pattern baldness which is caused by genetics and heredity. What you actually inherit is a gene that makes your hair follicles highly sensitive to an androgen or hormone in the body called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. What DHT does is flow through your bloodstream to your follicles where it makes them smaller and smaller until they die and fall out. But unlike the other 50-100 hairs that you normally shed every day, these ones never grow back.

For this large group of people with male or female pattern baldness, there are non-surgical treatments options that have been FDA-approved and proven to be effective for most people. One of them in Finasteride (also known as Propecia), which is an oral prescription medication taken daily. It's been shown to be very effective in most people, but the fact that it can cause adverse sexual side effects prevents many people from using it (especially if you are still young and want to have a family).

The other choice you have is using a rapid hair loss treatment with Minoxidil in it. This is a topically-applied medication that has also been FDA-approved to help stop hair-loss and encourage hair regrowth. And even though it's not effective is quite as many people as Finasteride is, it's still much safer and it's considered to be a top rapid hair-loss treatment.

Rapid prototyping (RP) and rapid tooling (RT) technologies, processes and developments have changed over the years, but there is one thing that has remained constant: the challenge to get functional prototypes and a method to obtain low-volume production parts fast, without breaking the bank.

The race in rapid tooling to get either functional prototypes or low-volume production parts has created many methods of rapid tooling, which have worked well and not so well. The downside to each of these methods has been the consistency and the lack of broad use from application to application.

Due to thick wall sections and dimensional warping, the mold was modified to core out the plastic part. Images courtesy of Vista Technologies.

Old school rapid tooling was very niche-specific. One method would work well for open and closed molds, while another method was better for running 20,000 parts. Previous methods that were used include Direct Aim tooling, epoxy tooling, SLS Laserform and Keltool. These methods had their strengths, but carried stronger weaknesses--such as poor tolerance, tool life and narrow material selections that you could inject under pressure.

Since people tried to use these niche methods of RT across a broad base of projects and had more failures than successes, people started to label all methods of RT as very limited. Once people were exposed to a less than successful RT project, these labels became gospel.

However, times have changed, and it is time to dispel these rapid tooling myths, which have plagued the RT industry and prevented many people and customers from successfully benefiting from the technology. It is important that people are exposed to the truth about RT. Here are the six main myths of RT that have plagued the industry.

You cannot make tool modifications in a rapid tool.
You cannot capture undercuts in a rapid tool.
You cannot shoot clear parts in a rapid tool.
You cannot shoot high volumes in a rapid tool.
You cannot shoot large parts in a rapid tool.
You cannot shoot most engineering grade materials in a rapid tool.
Before the myths are dispelled, we should first describe what method of rapid tooling we are discussing. This method is using 7075-T6 aluminum rapid tooling that has been milled using high-speed milling (30,000-42,000 rpms). Delivery of these molds varies from vendor, but in general you can get a consistent delivery in two to three weeks.

Six Truths of Rapid Tooling

1. You can make tool modifications in a rapid tool.

Aluminum tools can be welded, inserted and re-machined. In fact, for every 10 molds made, six get modified after the first sampling due to part redesign. This has been a great advantage because now people can spend less time and money making tool modifications on a prototype mold rather than spending even more time and money in changing the production mold.
Changes in molds can vary from changing part features, hole sizes, eliminating sink and even changing gate locations. Most of these changes occur after first parts are shot, assembled and tested. With spec materials fit and function are now easy to test under real elements. If adjustments are required the tool is then modified to meet the new part design.

2. You can capture undercuts in a rapid tool.

Undercuts, side actions or side pulls can all be designed to be captured in aluminum tools. These features can be captured by hand pick-outs and manual slides. By making these pick-outs manual, it keeps cost and delivery to a minimum. This is advantageous to the customer, but not the supplier because it adds complexity to the mold design, the machining and the mold assembly.

The biggest disadvantage to the supplier is that you need to run these molds in a press with a processor at the machine to manually disassemble all the pickouts. If you only run open and close tools, these molds can run unattended. This is the reason many people did not offer making rapid tools with undercuts. With newly developed moldmaking software and a better awareness of cycling at the press, molds are being shot everyday capturing undercuts with hand pickouts and manual slides.

3. You can shoot clear parts in a rapid tool.

Aluminum molds can be polished and/or textured to shoot clear or transparent parts. This is a secondary procedure, the same as you would have in a production mold. The aluminum can be polished up to an A-2 finish. A-3 is more typical and lasts longer in production runs. Depending on the material being run, the A-2 finish might see more wear and dull the finish over time.

Polycarbonates and acrylics are the most commonly run materials to get a clear plastic part. Many materials have been run
with a custom transparent tint from Udel to polycarbonate.

4. You can shoot high volumes in a rapid tool.

High volume is a relative term, so let's define it as 50,000 parts. Obviously, a lot of projects need runs larger, but 50,000 is quite a contrast compared to the 500 quantities that were rumored off rapid tooling. These volumes are limited to material and part design, but many molds have shot abrasive materials with multiple pickouts in the tens of thousands.

Again, processing at the press and having the need for speed, but not the greed for speed are the important variables in running larger runs. If you are trying to match production mold cycle times with aluminum, you will eventually run into issues. If you use common sense and finesse, you will capture benefits of higher volumes from your aluminum tool.

5. You can shoot large parts in a rapid tool.

Again, this is a relative term. Large parts for a medical company may not be considered large for an automotive company. The point in this myth being dispelled is that aluminum tools are not limited to a six-inch cube.

On average, many parts do fit into this frame. There are still many parts that exceed the 18" x10" x6" envelope that are being made in an aluminum rapid tool. This is a very common practice that allows for great price reductions and helps in reducing leadtimes.

6. You can shoot most engineering grade materials in a rapid tool.

Using aluminum tools allows you to sample the same materials as you would in a production mold. Glass-filled Nylon, Ultem, Peek and PVC have all been run in aluminum tools. These molds can be cooled or heated to meet the processing requirements. The day of only shooting ABS or Santoprene is over. Filled materials, exotic materials and waxes are all being sampled in aluminum tools everyday to get functional prototypes or low-volume production parts.

These are the six main myths that have held aluminum tooling back from helping to jumpstart projects into a smoother transition in production. Other myths that should not be ignored are the ability to also do insert molding, over molding and making family tools. Also, tolerance in a rapid tool does compare to a production tool. This has been proven time and time again from first runs to final runs.

In conclusion, many projects have been brought to production with questions unanswered, over budget and with forecasts and timelines being missed that could have all been prevented by using rapid tooling. The next time you have a need for 50 to 50,000 parts from a spec material, do not let the myths of rapid tooling lead you astray.

There are lots of things sabotaging people from proper, rapid weight loss. Not only do people have their own brains and anxiety to get in the way (which is why I use hypnosis, NLP, and EFT to assist) but there are myths out there that make people think incorrectly about rapid, safe dieting. How many times have you heard, "Losing more than 1 to 2 pounds a week is unsafe." Or "You should never skip breakfast! That messes up your metabolism!" or "Look how those French people eat! That plate is tiny! That' can't be enough!" "Medicines and supplements can enhance your weight loss!" These are some of the myths people say to me and my patients when they embark on the rapid weight loss plans I place them on for fast, healthy weight release.

Well, as a physician, I too have heard these things from nutritionists, dietitians, and other doctors and expert colleagues who still work under an old paradigm of what's right and wrong in dieting. I'm here to share a new paradigm to bust these myths so that you can lose weight safely and rapidly just as your body has been designed to do.

As a physician who has successfully helped 50 patients lose a total of 2000 pounds, or an average of 40 pounds each, in a 5 month period, I can tell you that these myths only get in the way of healthy and safe rapid weight loss. And NO! These patients did NOT have gastric bypasses or lap bands! They used their bodies' natural weight loss tactics to succeed.

Let's talk body basics. We eat to stay alive. When we eat extra it becomes fat. When we don't eat enough to sustain ourselves, the fat is burned off to use up what we've stored. It's that simple. All mammals have this ability. Fat allows our body to have sugar and nutrients to stay alive and disappears when we don't have enough going in our mouths.

However there are all these little nuances to that simplicity that are used to confuse you and help perpetuate these myths to losing weight.

1. "Losing more than 1-2 pounds a week is unsafe."
I have safely guided my patients through a 1-pound-a-day weight loss through low-calorie diets. It works and it is safe and was how we were genetically designed to use fat. I sometimes think the people who use this first myth are justifying people staying on their diets or regimens longer. It sells gym memberships and sells monthly weight-loss programs that cost 50-1000 dollars a month. If it's normal to just lose 1 pound a week, you can keep someone who needs to lose 80 pounds on that diet for 80 weeks! That's a good amount of cash! If you look to the Mayo Clinic website there are multiple articles explaining against losing more than 1-2 pounds per week, however you see that they discuss rapid, doctor-assisted weight loss for the most unhealthy patients. Why do we do that for them but not healthier patients? I have made no distinction and the results have been great. But yes, these patients lose weight with the guidance of a physician so that I can ensure there are no problems during the weight loss.

With my weight loss programs that I have given my patients, they can lose 30 pounds in 30 days, 80 pounds in 80 days, 150 pounds in 150 days, and so on. I just had a patient come in today who lost 50 pounds in 50 days, came off 3 medicines for blood pressure, who looks and feels great. Her blood pressure is 100/80 now when it was 150/90 when we started. Are you telling me a slower weight loss would be better for her so she could have high blood pressure even a day longer? I don't think so. She's healthier and safer in a rapid amount of time with my hypnosis and rapid weight loss techniques that I will explain later in an upcoming article.

2. "Don't skip breakfast. It's unhealthy in a diet and you won't lose as much weight!"
Eating breakfast keeps your metabolism in line so you burn more calories through the day. This is true when you are at a steady weight. However, when it comes to losing weight, eating breakfast is not an accelerator of weight loss. The calories going in still need to go somewhere. Yes, you definitely get more obese in the long term if you skip breakfast, then eat normal amounts of food for lunch and dinner afterward. A person who skips breakfast puts their body in starvation mode so that any excess food that you eat later in the day instantly becomes fat as the body scrambles to keep any sugar available in the body after being told it's starving when breakfast is skipped.

However, if you skip breakfast, and then take in small amounts of food for lunch and dinner, (lower amounts of calories than is needed for a full day), you WILL BURN FAT to make up for energy that you don't have coming in from food. So skipping breakfast, during a lower calorie intake period, allows you to burn excess fat. It's the way God designed us. When we were hunter-gatherers and we roamed the earth for the next food supply as nomads, there would be times where the winter would come in and the food supply would drop, or there would be times of famine where there just wasn't a food supply. God was smart enough to design us with a source of sugar during these times of need for food. All mammals have this food storage system called fat. When you see those commercials asking to aid children starving in other countries, those children are relying on these fat stores to survive their lack of adequate nutrients.

God and evolution also designed us to HEALTHILY use up this fat store when we don't have enough food. Fasting is how we were designed to use up our fat, so anyone who tells you weight loss through fasting is unhealthy has an argument with the Big Guy who designed this survival system. Through time the human body has adapted to using fat for food storage to allow survival through times of famine or starvation. If it was unhealthy, the system wouldn't exist as it came to be through evolution and nature. The fittest survive, and those with fat storage systems survived longer when there is no food.

Well here is how this system got bastardized. After we went through the ice age and became agrarian in our economy, an abundant food supply existed. We didn't starve anymore, and we don't starve anymore because right now we have plenty of farms and excess food stores to supply us with nourishment. The supermarkets have been bigger and supersized as has our readily available fast food. It's funny we call it fast food because although it is fast due to the rapid service, this is the very food that prevents us from fasting anymore since it is readily available. In fact we overindulge and never starve, and that leaves us with huge food stores in our body through obesity.

Add to that that we have, over the last 15 years, added huge amounts of sugars to our food as fillers and as fat replacements to add flavor. So not only do we not starve anymore in the middle-class western hemisphere, we also give ourselves more food than we need and thus we are more obese than ever. (Don't get me started on our first ever epidemic of obese 6-month-olds because of recent additions of fructose to formula).

So we don't starve anymore but we have a plentiful harvest every time we walk into a supermarket. Since people don't starve, we have no chance at using our natural human system for sugar storage and release: Fat burning through Calorie deprivation.

That's where Gastric bypass, mouth wiring, lap band procedures come in. Instead of having famines or food shortages or winter times to naturally allow us to lose weight as we were designed, we use artificial surgeries to force our unhealthiest members of the population, the severely obese, to lose weight the way Nature had intended. Forced calorie droughts through surgical means work but have high-level surgical risks for these unhealthy patients. Through my experience with my own patients and those of my colleagues, I've seen our patients die after these procedures from sepsis (Body infections), Heart conditions, complications of the surgery itself and anesthesia, malnourishment, iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiency, and depression-induced suicides. I even had one patient die from bulimia after the procedure. Not everyone gets the psychological support they need nor do they get the guidance of what to expect once they lose the weight.

Also there has been a phenomenon of displeasure and poor satisfaction with the results after they have lost weight. When I say satisfaction, I am talking about life satisfaction. Many people lose weight through surgery only to find that the tremendous changes they have been told would happen in their lives don't happen. Guys who lost weight aren't suddenly dating models, Women aren't suddenly happy to have smaller dress sizes. There isn't a sudden acceptance into social circles after this rapid weight loss change. This leads to a feeling of defeat.

4. "Medicines and supplements can enhance your weight loss!"
Some people use medications and miracle supplements to allow them to not notice hunger but eat less. I get asked at least 50 times a month by patients and friends to give them phentermine. Nobody I know who has used phentermine has had a sustained weight loss, they haven't lost large amounts of weight, and the risks of the medication are great for people who already have enlarged hearts or elevated blood pressures. You aren't supposed to take it with high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, glaucoma, or any heart conditions, conditions that many obese people already have. The medication can make you restless, nervous, dry of the mouth, and induce insomnia. But people are so desperate to lose weight they keep looking for artificial means of weight loss.

Worst of all, I've had a few patients in recent years come to me to find that their use of that medicine with Fenfluramine in the past has led to Heart valve problems and a lifelong cardiac condition. If you want to continue to believe in medicines and supplements as weight loss miracles, you should plan on giving up large amounts of money for minimal weight loss. There are some supplements and medicines that enhance your weight loss such as orlistat and phentermine itself. But to truly keep the results, you need to make changes that are sustainable. With the methods I use, the results are sustainable and ongoing and are real life methods... ones that the patient can understand without having to do point calculations and higher math nor do they have to buy foods processed and packaged by someone else. You can use whatever food you like. My next blog will explain how.

3. "French diets are tiny! This restaurant is gyping me!"
Now let's look at food amounts and how people joke about the small amounts of food the French serve in their restaurants. If you look at pictures of people from the USA before 1960, you will see we were a lean nation then. People's plates were smaller, we ate less food, and we were in trim shape for the most part. Look at your grandparents pictures and those of your great grandparents -- a picture is worth 1000 words. People ate leaner and survived at a thinner weight. Compare a restaurant plate then to one now that you can get from Atlantic City or Las Vegas Buffets. Those plates are HUGE.

In these days of supersizing, buffets, and large dinner plates, the mindset is quite different. We expect a full plate these days, and we expect second helpings of what we like. We like sugary drinks. And as a whole, the population back then wasn't as far off from what we do now in the realms of exercise and training. Sure, we have highly developed cross training and intense burning and core body exercises now, but isn't it funny how not many of these new regimens are different from the past (Kettle bells are back in vogue for training? Lifting tires?). The only difference is our perceived eating needs have changed to explain the lean bodies of our grandparents to our own. Do you see fat skeletons of cavemen and women in the museums?

France has not strayed very far from it's previous eating patterns. In fact in American Movies and commercials we are constantly making fun of the small portion sizes in the French diet. However what they are eating in portion is actually in line with what truly is needed. Just Google "world obesity rankings" and you'll see where US and France currently stand. You'll see USA at a 30% obesity rate (3 out of 10 Americans is obese) versus France at Number 23 on the list with a 9.4% obesity rate (Just less than 1 out of 10). The closest country to the USA, Mexico, is at 24%, so we are WAY over the rest ofic the world in the USA.

So these days, most of the population have a skewed view of proper food amounts in our diet, we have a food supply full of sugars and high fructose corn syrup, and we go back for seconds and clean our plates. Add to that the vast amounts of food we offer for celebrations. The last wedding I went to for 200 people there were 5 large tables of all-you-can-eat food and all-you-can-drink free alcohol. Way over the handfuls of food we should be eating. Christmas time is always a gutbuster, and Easter and Halloween are candy-based foods. Gluttony is en vogue these days. The USA has been battered by constant commercials about food and eating to make a normal portion size that of a super big burger and large sized fries and large sugary soda. We have learned to eat until full rather than to eat when satisfied. The handfuls of food in the french diet is normal and not wasteful! We no longer have to be brainwashed to eat until full. We haven't been listening to our bodies to stop eating when we are satisfied. (This is one of the subconscious commands I give my hypnosis clients to help them lose weight). Eat when hungry, stop when satisfied. Avoid being full as that is the signal from the body that you went too far.

All these myths I've mentioned above prevent appropriate weight maintenance and rapid weight loss. They are just a few of the myths that make naysayers say while the doers lose weight with me. In Neurolinguistic programming and Hypnosis we talk about "Frames": Those reference points people use to view the world. The most basic frame is optimist vs pessimist -- do you see the glass as half empty or half full? People who see the glass half full are the ones who see most things in their lives as positive, those who see it as half empty have a pessimistic tone to the things that happen in their lives. If you believe in these myths, you are already framed to not accept the paradigms and information I am about to present to you in the next blog. These beliefs have clouded doctors and their patients for years as to what is right and wrong about weight loss. When we reframe these thoughts from generally accepted truths to myths and barriers to our success in weight loss, we have freed ourselves to accept that it is safe to lose a pound a day using our natural mechanism for food intake reduction.

In my next blog I will discuss my friend Dr. Alwin Lewis's discovery on dieting and rapid weight loss, and how it has helped transform the lives of many of my patients into successful rapid weight loss and hypnosis clients without pills or surgery... see me at http://www.rapidweightlosshypnosis.com

A slimmer taught and toned body is not out of your reach. Thousands of others have done it, so why not you? You're worth it, don't you think?  Do not get me wrong there is some work involved and it will not happen overnight but if you put in the required effort you will be desirable and healthy.  For some though, they want it right now handed to them on a plate so they will try potentially harmful rapid weight loss programs.

Well it is not going to happen and the results will be less than desirable with a high chance you will end up being fatter than before.

The hip word at the moment for a lot of things is The 'Fast track' and weight loss is no exception to the rule, so they are after rapid weight loss.  Scientific fact here proves that yeas this practice does work it is only good for the actual time it is being implemented. Rapid weight loss more often than not only leads you down a dangerous road which will in fact as previously mentioned lead to rapid weight gain, ironic don't you think.

As you can not survive physically on a diet like this for extended periods of time you will find yourself going back to your old eating habits. You would have lost lean muscle mass on the way also and will end up replacing it with more fat.  So I hope you are starting to see that rapid weight loss is not such a good thing.

Just because you are on a rapid weight loss program does not automatically mean that you are actually losing fat, you will be losing some but more commonly it will be water and muscle. Water loss is only temporary and I am afraid you will weigh the same very quickly as soon as you consume some fluids or foods with a fluid content.  Be aware of certain diet pills because they will deplete you of fluids that your body needs to carry out it's day to day functions.  Your Body can only lose about 2 pounds of fat per week in a healthier manner and anymore is risky and counter productive.

It is quite funny what people will believe when they want to lose fat badly enough, there are even slimming soaps on the market which claim that you can lose weight by taking a bath and using then to get clean. They contain Chinese herbs and seaweed. They supposedly emulsify the fat as you clean yourself, mmmm there is not a lot one can say to that is there.

Here is another, have you heard of magnetic weight loss earrings, they report that you will lose weight fast, heal the body of pain and increase your bodies metabolic rate.  Come on people if it were that easy we would be a world of super slim, super fit and happy people. If you want to experience rapid weight loss this way you would have better luck by gnawing at one of your limbs. Can you believe that people can be so gullible.

The real deal is you are going to have to dedicate yourself to losing weight and shedding fat, if you want the body folks you will have to sweat and curb eating garbage.  The real way to rapid weight loss is to do it sensibly, do it right and do it once.

Rapid weight loss diets seem to be one of the best answers for many individuals who are overweight. Looking for the quickest way of reducing weight concerns them greatly. However, many of them still don't get the satisfaction they longed for.

They do many things like giving up their favorite food to eating more nutritious foods. They enroll in health clubs and gyms to exercise but sometimes it is not enough. So, are you searching for the fastest weight loss diet just like everybody else?

Try our tips on rapid weight loss diets for your health. Knowing the benefits of the food you eat will provide you answers that will help. It is not only by losing your weight quickly, but having a physically fit body as well. To know more about this rapid weight loss diets tips, here are some for you to follow:

Consult your doctor and let him know about your plans and goals. He can help you for the safest and rapid weight loss diets way possible. Remember that doctors advice that repeated periods of reducing and then regaining weight can be damaging to the body.

Maintain a food journal. Rapid weight loss diets encourage you to make a list of everything you eat and drink. Keep a record of your daily intake of food. Include the corresponding calorie count. This is a method to control your calorie intake daily.

If you missed your goal, the list would help you get back on the right track. When a person consumes more calories than he needs, the body will convert the excess calories into fat and store it. This is how a person gains unwanted weight. When the body accumulates 3,500 excess calories the fat it stores will amount 1 pound.

Always remember to stay away from sweet, fatty and processed foods. These are high on calories. When taken in excess, they could cause irreversible health problems of the heart and liver.

Natural items such as fruits and green leafy vegetables are suggested for persons trying to have a rapid weight loss diets program. They have lots of vitamins and minerals that your body will need. Likewise, they help the digestive system to function well.

Six small meals at specific times of the day should be followed. Healthy snacks like banana and carrot sticks or apples can also be eaten. Other meals for the day also should be balanced with adequate amounts of protein and fiber.

The above tips can help you get started as long as you stick to your goal. You can successfully see the effects of rapid weight loss diets. Whether you want to lose weight or gain weight, following your program will help you achieve the ideal weight you are aiming for.

In the United States there are a plethora of rivers with whitewater sections. Some of the country's most beautiful places can only be seen or accessed via a river. Chances are that you have a river nearby that has some level of whitewater on it. However, buying all the gear and equipment can be extremely costly. Knowing how to navigate rapids properly is a learned skill and must be properly taught in order for you to have a fun, exciting and most of all, a safe experience. Hiring a whitewater outfitter/guide will increase your chances of having a memorable experience and living to tell the tale.

River Classifications

There are basically four different kinds of rivers in the world. Rivers are classified by their respective age which will inherently affect the gradient the river has. We will be dealing almost specifically with rivers in the US in this instance.

- Youthful: A youthful river will generally have a steep gradient with few tributaries and numerous sections, if not continuous sections of rapids. (e.g. Trinity, Animas, American, Rogue and Arkansas)

- Mature: A mature river will have a shallower gradient and a slower flow than a youthful river and will be wider, with tributaries flowing into it. (e.g. Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Colorado)

- Old: An old river will have a very shallow gradient with a slow and easy flow. Usually old rivers are very wide and deep with numerous tributaries including all other classifications of rivers. You'll have to travel outside the US to find these rivers. (e.g. Nile, Tigris, Euphrates, Amazon and Ganges)

- Rejuvenated: A rejuvenated river is the result of tectonic uplift and will typically have a steep gradient with little or no tributaries.

Whitewater areas are generally found on youthful or rejuvenated rivers due to steep gradients, constriction points and obstacles such as rocks. However, some mature rivers will also have whitewater areas.

Classification of Rapids

In the whitewater rafting, kayaking, and canoeing industry there are six classes of rapids. Each one has its own characteristics and no two are ever the same.

- Class I: Placid, slow moving, pretty much like your bathtub. Good for learning the basics such as how to get back in the raft, flipping the raft or practicing your kayak roll techniques.

- Class II: Some ripples and low waves. Good for inner-tubing or learning how to navigate and steer your raft, kayak or canoe.

- Class III: Now we're talking! Swift moving water, low drops and bigger waves. Good for learning more technical navigation techniques. Class III whitewater is a fun level for family rafting trips and suitable for children ages 7 and older.

- Class IV: Now were cooking! Very swift water, big drops and huge waves. Class IV rapids are considered expert class. Most Class IV rapids will require at least a couple years of steady, full time guiding experience. Do not attempt without formal river guide training and at least 2000 river miles of experience on Class III whitewater. Suitable for ages 16 and older. Most outfitters will require a swim test beforehand. If you can't swim or don't swim well, DO NOT ATTEMPT!

- Class V: Now we're cooking with gas! Extremely swiftly moving water, huge drops and massive waves. Beyond expert class, we're talking tenured professor class. Navigating Class V rapids will require years of professional Class IV guiding experience and nerves of steel. Only suitable for those who aren't faint of heart and don't mind hospitals. Number one rule in Class V: Stay in the boat! If you fall out of the boat, you are almost certain to end up in the hospital or the morgue.

- Class VI: Unrunable, certain death! Class VI rapids are kind of like Niagara Falls; sure you can run it if you like but you won't make it!

Trips

River trips are a great way of getting back to nature and an excellent idea for some wholesome family fun. River trips are, or can be, not only adventurous, but educational as well. Some river trips can be done by private boaters - if they have the appropriate gear and equipment - while others are better left to outfitters.

Daytrips

Daytrips can be loads of fun for you and your friends or family. Daytrips run anywhere from ¼ day to full day (6-8 hours). They can run anywhere from a couple of miles to 20+ miles, depending on water flow. It is better to hire an outfitter for daytrips due to the length of time it takes for a private boater to set up and also the availability of river permits.

Overnight Trips

Overnight trips can be a lot of fun for friends and family as well. They are appropriate for private boaters and outfitters. Make sure you have the proper equipment, gear, food, kitchen, bathroom (called a groover) and permit if applicable. You should be experienced in daytrips and know your limitations for overnights. They can either go very smoothly or horribly wrong. Weather is usually the reason they go wrong, so be prepared.

Multi-Day/Expedition Trips

Multi-day trips can also be loads of fun for friends and families. Multi-day trips can last anywhere from three days to a month in duration. They can also be done either privately or serviced by outfitters. If you love rivers, multi-day trips may be for you. If you are a private boater, make sure you have successfully accomplished several overnight trips before attempting a multi-day.

Many multi-day trips will require at least two or more boats, as one of them will most certainly be a "gear" boat. Also, take some time to know some things about the area. Adventurous side hikes, games and other activities should be planned out before hand. This helps with the "down" time when you are not on the water or you may be spending two or more nights at the same camp.

Having meals and chores pre-planned will help the trip run smoothly if you are boating privately. Knowing who is doing the cooking and cleaning as well as post trip routines will make life easier for all involved. Eating three squares a day is important-you'll use a lot of energy while on the water.

If you and your group are not seasoned overnight boaters, hiring an outfitter is the ideal choice. Outfitters will do all of the trip set-up, cooking, cleaning, set-up and take-down of the campsites and of course, they will have all of the appropriate gear, equipment and river permits.

Riparian Environment

The riparian environment is a fragile one. The term "riparian," in this instance, is used to describe the river itself, as well as the flora, fauna, geology and just about everything else surrounding, or in, a river. Any decent river guide or even you as a private boater should have a working knowledge of the riparian environment and be able to provide its interpretation.

Care should be taken to make as little impact or imprint as possible at all times, while you are on your river trip. As the sayings go; 'Take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints' and 'Pack it in, pack it out.' Gear and Equipment

As with any other sport, whitewater boating has some very specific gear and equipment requirements. Some can be relatively inexpensive to acquire and some can cost thousands of dollars. Because all of the gear and equipment will be used for whitewater, some regular maintenance will also be needed. And of course, since whitewater boating can become a contact sport on occasion, things will break or simply wear out. Below you will find a list of items required for whitewater boating. Items with a * indicate items needed for private boaters and guides.

- PFD (personal floatation device) - don't call them life jackets around guides. If you do they might give you this speech: 'It's not a life jacket. It won't swim you to shore, it will not save your life; its sole purpose on earth is to make you float!'PFDs need to be USCG Type III or above.
- Helmet-if applicable. Most outfitters will require them for Class IV and above. Some states require them for Class III and above.
- *Flip line
- *Knife
- *First aid kit
- *CPR and First Aid Certification - the level will vary depending on the state you are in.
- *Z -Drag and boat repair kit-for inflatable boats.
- *Spare paddles or oars
- *Throw bag
- *Boat-Inflatable raft or kayak (ducky), canoe, whitewater kayak. (Don't use sea or lake kayaks on whitewater; sure, you can try, but you gonna get schooled!)

The Overall Experience

The general, overall experience is aimed at adventure and having fun! As long as you follow the rules, everything should work out just fine. I highly recommend hiring a river outfitter to help you along if you are inexperienced. Tons of fun can be had on the river and no two trips will ever be alike.

Methods on losing weight are a hot subject around the world these days. With increasing awareness on the diseases associated with being overweight, and the prevailing high rates of obesity globally, almost everyone seeking to lose weight wants to learn about rapid weight loss methods. People have become health and fitness conscious like never before. And everyone wants to lose weight very quickly, regardless of whether they wish to look and feel better or improve their health or simply to fit into a new dress or swimsuit.

Most nutritionists and doctors would strongly recommend against rapid weight loss methods because they can often have a damaging impact on your health, and, as well, the weight lost invariably comes back as fast as it was lost once the methods are stopped. However, given below are a few rapid weight loss tips if you wish to explore these aspects.

1) Get started on an exercise program. In addition to being on a prescribed diet, an exercise regimen is a must for rapid loss of weight. If you have never exercised before or exercise very irregularly, starting now with a regular and consistent daily exercise of even just 15 minutes will make a difference in guiding you to losing weight. Effective weight loss is only possible by burning more calories, and a comprehensive workout is probably the best way to burn calories. The more the exercise you do, the more the calories you will burn fast.

2) Eliminate fad diets. Many fad diet prescriptions, which advertise on rapid weight loss, are available today in the market. While they may actually help you to lose weight at the beginning, such weight losses would not usually last and, as well, the risk of such fad diets harming your overall health is very high. Fad diets are mostly about starving yourself or taking harmful supplements and not about getting exercise or eating healthy. Any fitness expert or professional will advise against these types of fad diets.

3) Ensure eating healthy foods. Getting plenty of exercises and eating healthy are the crucial factors contributing effectively to losing weight, though many people have difficulties in believing this. If you consult a doctor regarding rapid weight loss methods, you will invariably be asked to get plenty of exercises and to eat healthy foods.

4) Make permanent changes to your lifestyle. You did not become overweight overnight and, so, you are not going to lose weight overnight. Even if you are aspiring for a rapid weight loss, you would have to still make a few lifestyle changes to keep the weight from coming back on. Whether it is eating healthy or exercise or an ideal combination of these two, this has to become a continuing part of new your lifestyle.

5) Give the weight loss patch a try. Most doctors would advise against a rapid weight loss, but many of them may recommend the patch to assist you in your quest for losing weight quickly and without any damages to your health. Weight loss patch is a small strip of patch you wear on the body to assist you lose weight while continuing with your regular food habits.

Upon making the decision to become involved in rapid sports you are going to have to become familiar with white water. When you first begin to take note of the rapids what you are going to notice is what looks like white water, and is bubbly. This is known as your white water of the rapids. It is created as a result of the currents that are not stable and they have become aerated. As a newcomer they may seem to be quite turbulent to you, but in reality they are often considered as not being that turbulent when compared to other types of flow that you can find with other rapids.

Often Whitewater canoeing or Whitewater kayaking is in reference to the Whitewater which is perhaps one part of many different types of rapids found in a particular location.

Once you've made the decision that you are going to become involved in rapid sports you must educate yourself on the various different types of rapids that you will be enjoying your adventure on. There are many different aspects as to what makes up the rapids and there is lots to learn before you enjoy your first adventure

You are going to find there are six categories when it comes to the white water with one being the least precarious up to six which in the most difficult and therefore the most challenging.

As you progress through the different levels of the white water you will find that level one is a flat water surface that moves slow with very few hazards to face. The level 6 is attempted by very few rapid sports enthusiasts, and if they do and master it then often the rapid is downgraded to a level 5.

Portage is a term you need to become familiar with as it means that the boater has simply headed to land and carried his boat around a specific challenge rather than ride it out.

These are just a few terms to get used to when it comes to white water rapids.

Ideally if you are a beginner to the rapid sports and really want to tackle the Whitewater then it is essential that you have some basic lessons in doing so and only attempt this with an experienced rapid rider. In addition you must have all of the necessary equipment and safety gear that is required. Never ever attempt this sport without first having lots of tuition, your life will depend on this.

Is it possible to achieve rapid weight loss? The answer is yes, but it may not be the best long term answer. You have probably seen examples of this on the Biggest Loser TV show. What most people don't understand is what the contestants put their bodies through in order to achieve such dramatic results in a short period of time. The outcomes seen on the show are not an illusion, but not realistic for most people in the real world who have multiple daily responsibilities. However, if you're looking for safe, realistic results, they can be obtained by incorporating the following suggestions.

Focus on Your Diet

In order for you to achieve rapid weight loss, your diet must be impeccable! Not only must you avoid the obvious bad foods such as: fried foods, cakes, cookies, ice cream, all desserts, chips, and most processed foods that come in a box or bag. You must also avoid most beverages and fruits. You should not drink any alcohol, coffee, soda, or fruit juices if you want rapid weight loss. Your beverages should consist of plenty of water throughout out the day (6-8 glasses), and optional green/herbal teas, or low sodium vegetable juices and broths.

Your meals should include one source of protein; preferably lean cuts of chicken or fish in 3 ounce portion sizes, or if you're a vegetarian substitute tofu or natto for meat. Eggs are another great source of protein that you could include in your meals. You should limit your carbohydrate intake to just vegetables and these should be added to each meal. Stay away from starchy vegetables like peas, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, or corn and rapid weight loss will be easier.

Instead, focus on green leafy vegetables. Also, try to add a small portion of raw veggies to each meal, but avoid commercial salad dressings. For dressings use 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Your meals should not be spaced more than 4-5 hours apart and make sure to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you skip meals or wait longer than 5 hours to eat, your metabolism will slow which will make rapid weight loss hard.

You Must Exercise Daily

The other important consideration for rapid weight loss is exercise. If you have watched the Biggest Loser you have probably seen the contestants engage in numerous physical challenges and exercise sessions. What you don't know, is the contestants spend hours everyday working out. You probably don't have more than an hour of free time to exercise everyday so you need to concentrate on high intense workouts if you want rapid weight loss. Your workouts should include a combination of cardiovascular conditioning exercises along with resistance training exercises.

Some of the best weight lifting exercises to perform are those that use your body weight as resistance such as: push ups, pull ups, squats, lunges, dips, planks, crunches and bridges. The reason these exercises are superior to other movements is that they require more balance and coordination, resulting in more calories burned. Also, these exercises have a tendency to significantly raise your heart rate. In between performing body weight exercises, add a short bout of cardiovascular exercise such as: jogging in place, jump rope, stepping up and down on a stair/bench, running on a treadmill, riding a stationary bike or using an elliptical trainer. The key to your exercise sessions is intensity. Try to keep your heart rate up and avoid long breaks in between exercises if you're looking for rapid weight loss.

Rapid weight loss is not easy nor is it suggestible. However, if you are diligent about your diet and you include high intensity workouts daily you can achieve your goal. Remember, it is always advisable to check with a physician prior to starting any weight loss program, especially if you're focused on rapid weight loss.

The Dangers Of Rapid Weight Loss

It seems like every day there is a new diet that promises to show you how to lose a lot of weight quickly. Some even proclaim that they have developed safe methods for quick weight loss. The fact is that any rapid weight loss is unhealthy and there 3 reasons to avoid rapid weight loss.

The first of the 3 reasons to avoid rapid weight loss is that in order to achieve rapid weight loss a diet will alter the way you take in nutrients. A rapid shift in the kinds of foods you eat can cause a shock to your system that could result in permanent physical damage. For example, the diets that cut out significant amounts of carbohydrates can be extremely dangerous if done for long periods of time. Denying your body simple and complex carbohydrates causes your body to look elsewhere for those nutrients and that is when physical damage can start. Your body is unable to adapt to sudden changes in diet and if you alter something that your body depends on to function properly then physical damage could be the result.

Many fad diets that promise quick results will usually use starvation to some extent and suddenly denying your body critical nutrients is as damaging as changing the nutrients that you take into your body. Starvation diets are potentially the most damaging kind of weight loss method out there.

Quick weight loss programs are not the long term adjustments needed to your lifestyle that would make a diet successful. More often than not any results you see from rapid weight loss will be reversed as quickly as the weight was lost. Constant fluctuation of your body weight, combined with the rapid change in diet, is a recipe for physical damage that could be permanent.

Between 1983 and 1993 I was Managing Director and owner of 'Styles Precision Components Limited', a 10-person precision machining jobbing shop. You know the kind of place: a few Bridgeport's and a few Colchester lathes! My little team were great, but the business was stuck in the 1960's. I had grown the business from £50,000 per annum to about £500,000 per annum, but in 1993 business in the North-East of England was terrible. STYLES faced closure.

I had two options: go bust, or do something spectacular. I chose 'spectacular' (in a small way).

In 1980, when I was about 15 years old, I had a vivid dream of a machine that could build up a metal component in an Ultra Violet cabinet. Little particles seemed to collide with a small bead on the end of a vertical stick. As time went by, so the particle grew until there was a component on the end of the stick. It was one of those dreams you don't forget.

In 1989 I saw a short program on the BBC's Tomorrow's World about the first Stereolithography machine to be installed at BAe Systems. I watched as an Ultra Violet laser lased across the surface of a vat of acrylic resin converting liquid plastic into solid. As each layer dipped down, another layer was deposited on top. It wasn't exactly like my dream, but the UV element and the 'growing' of a part caught my imagination like nothing before.

In 1989 I was completely skint: I couldn't even afford the next box of carbide tips for my shell-mill, so 'stereolithography' had to wait.

Again in 1992 Stereolithography caught my imagination when I saw a magazine article by Tim Plunkett, the Managing Director and founder of a company called Formation Limited. Tim's article seemed to pose more questions than it gave answers and I was amazed that someone, anyone, could possibly be making a business out of this stunning new technology.

In early 1993 I called Tim on my mobile phone posing as a potential customer to try and glean more information. Tim was really helpful and he told me a lot that I didn't know. Formation was the original leader of the UK rapid prototyping sector and blazed a trail in the quality and finishing of Stereolithography models. At the end of the call I embarrassed myself somewhat: Tim asked me what kind of 3D data I had available to send to him. At that time I didn't know the difference between a DXF file, an IGES file, or a Nail file. I covered the phone and turned to my brother who was driving and said - "give me the name of a CAD file - quickly!" Dave whispered DXF. I repeated to Tim that my 3D data was in the form of a DXF file (2D Data). Oh, the innocence of youth...

I don't know if Tim remembers that call, but it has never left me because it was the point at which I decided that I had had enough of dreary old jobbing machining, and that I was going to head for the bright lights of the fledgling rapid prototyping sector.

In April of 1993 I arranged to view an SLA-250 stereolithography machine at the Hemel Hempstead offices of 3D Systems the UK division of the US inventors of the stereolithography process. I turned up there with my girlfriend and her 2 year-old daughter in a pram and viewed that ground breaking rapid prototyping machine. The then Managing Director of 3D Systems UK, Andrew Chantrill, later told me that of all the prospects he had ever had, he never suspected that by 2000 I would be his best UK customer. In fact, he never gave me a second thought after my visit that day.

By November 1993, having done the rounds with the venture capitalists in the UK, I had raised a total fund of £586,000 including £250,000 of venture capital from 3i, and had placed an order with cash with Andrew Chantrill. I had to assist him in getting his jaw off of the floor.

As well as buying a stereolithography rapid prototyping machine, I purchased an MCP vacuum casting system for making replica parts from the stereolithography master model. This turned out to be a winning combination and set the mould for all UK RP companies to follow.

I went at the rapid prototyping business in exactly the same way I had gone at jobbing precision machining, but the result turned out to be ten times bigger. Sometimes people are just held back by their industrial sector.

In the early 1990's a Japanese company called ARRK had set up a sales office in London to sell CNC machined models into the UK market. Peter Rawson has been their European MD ever since. They made really good money selling CNC models until Tim Plunkett and I crashed their party. By the end of 1995 we had almost completely destroyed the CNC based prototyping sector in the UK. It was then that ARRK conceded that stereolithography was the way forward and jumped into the rapid prototyping sector with a big splash.

By 1997 the UK rapid prototyping sector was dominated by Formation, STYLES RP, and ARRK. There were a number of other key players such as CA Models, Ogle, Malcolm Nichols, JJ Engineering, Laser Prototypes Europe, Amsys, and a smattering of incredibly irritating University outlets.

But the stage was set for the Big Three to battle it out to the bitter end.

By 1998 Formation and Styles Rapid Prototyping were pretty much neck-and-neck as the industry leaders; two young companies, with two young and energetic Managing Directors, going at it with great gusto.

In January 1999 Formation was acquired by ARRK and Tim moved on to set up 3TRPD, which is now the UK's largest Selective Laser Sintering bureau.

Tim Plunkett was and continues to be the most experienced and knowledgeable rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing specialist in the UK, if not Europe. He had done such a fantastic job at Formation, and I am not ashamed to say that I copied/emulated much of what Formation did. Tim now runs Plunkett Associates, which specializes in advising OEM's on best practice in rapid manufacturing.

In April 2000, when STYLES RPD was also sold to ARRK, it had sales of £5m and employed 73 people. STYLES RPD at that time was the largest and most successful rapid prototyping company in the UK.

After the acquisition of STYLES RPD, ARRK had an effective monopoly in the UK and could quite easily have driven away all of their competition - but they didn't.

The RP sector went through a very difficult period post 9/11, and in 2002 the industry experienced its first year of decline. I have to say that I considered myself lucky to be out of the rapid prototyping sector at that time. I could also see that great changes were afoot during 2002 and 2003. ARRK started to add imported production tooling and moulding to its offering and the smaller RP bureaux such AME, Paragon, CA Models and Malcolm Nicholls, as well as the University outfits such as CRDM started to take a good foothold in the market.

By 2003, Phill Adamson, a former Team Leader of the Vacuum Casting department at STYLES RPD, and his modelmaker colleague Peter Humphrey, also from STYLES, bought out the rapid prototyping section of Mold Systems (formerly JJ Engineering). With a tiny little bit of help from me, they set about creating what is nothing short of the World's most advanced vacuum casting facility. They took the STYLES quality to new heights and are now renowned for their 'two-shot' and 'lens' capabilities.

Both AME and Paragon now have more than £1,000,000 in sales each and are growing very fast. Many of the other rapid prototyping bureaus are expanding nicely and biting away at the giant's ankles. ARRK are now a huge Global toolmaking/moulding company and have over 20,000 employees world-wide. In the last couple of years they have bought more than 20 companies in China alone.

As for me, the story is just beginning: again.

In 2005 I moved my home to Dongguan in Southern China and set up a rapid prototyping company called Star Prototype China and am experiencing growth rates of about 30% per month presently. I also came back into the UK market recently with the acquisition of the once great Omega-Plastics.

Omega was, and will again be, the UK's most successful rapid tooling company: but that's for the next article.

If you have ever had a colonoscopy performed, then you know what great fun it is to prepare your colon the day before the procedure. You will usually have to take a large volume of laxatives which are not pleasant to drink to start with. Once you have taken the laxative or laxative combination, you will go to the bathroom. Eventually, you will be tempted to just stay in the bathroom until the next day since you don't seem to be getting much time between visits. This is rapid colon cleansing at its best.

By the time you go have the procedure performed the next morning, your colon is clean and ready for viewing. You will know without any doubt that you have absolutely no waste left in you at all. This method proves that there is no build-up of waste and toxins in our colons just waiting to be set free. If one day of rapid colon cleansing can rid you of all your waste, then why do people perform these cleansings over a period of a month or more?

Even if you get caught in what you feel is an urgent situation and use rapid colon cleansing to drop those unwanted pounds, follow up with a new plan that includes healthy food choices and exercise to keep you trim and healthy.

I want rapid weight loss! That single sentence just summed up about 99% of the thoughts that is on every person's mind that is interested in weight loss in the United States. Rapid weight loss is the main desire for dieters today. Unfortunately, everyone knows this. This desire became dangerous the day that this knowledge was discovered by marketing directors for weight loss product manufacturers world-wide. Suddenly, hundreds of rapid weight loss products sprung up all over the nation. Rapid weight loss was the new key marketing tactic for weight loss products in the United States.

I still want rapid weight loss! I know this, and I empathize. A lot of you have suddenly discovered your weight problems. A lot of your have known, and tried to do something, but are now faced with a sudden need due to a planned event. How many brides in this country are looking for rapid weight loss products and tanning products? The number would astound you! In fact, this rapid weight loss desire has even resulted in a few incidents. How many brides do you know of that have stood at the altar with severe sun-burns? How many brides have passed out due to dehydration caused by a sudden increase in usage of their newly acquired rapid weight loss products? Improper use of supplements can lead to serious injury and even death. Ask Mike Matarazzo about how he almost died of dehydration on stage of a bodybuilding competition, which was speculated to have been caused by usage combination of Creatine and Ephedra. He too was trying to achieve rapid weight loss by lowering his body fat index.

Usage of rapid weight loss products will always be dangerous. There are products out there that can help you to lose weight faster than most. However, the faster they help you to lose weight, the more dangerous they can be. This danger level is elevated even further when people use greater doses than what is directed. People make the mistake in believing that their rapid weight loss will occur even faster if they increase the amount taken. The problem is that improper supplement usage and abuse can lead to dehydration, stomach lining damage, heart attack, kidney problems, drastic increases in blood pressure, and cardiac rhythm disorders. Rapid weight loss is a dangerous realm to be playing in without the direction of a physician.

There is only one true method to rapid weight loss. You must work for it. The truth is that, most likely, your problems are a combination of poor diet habits and lack of exercise. Fat is produced only when your body is taking in more calories than it needs as well as not having the essential dietary needs which help to break down and burn fat. By changing your diet to ensure that you are getting plenty of healthy fats, vitamins & minerals, carbohydrates, and proteins, you will see a drastic increase in your metabolism, as well as energy levels, which will lead to a natural rapid weight loss. This proper diet must also be utilized in conjunction with regular exercise. By ensuring that your body is getting the activity that it needs to burn more calories per day, you are ensuring that your metabolism increases in order to give your body the "fuel" that it needs for daily activity. This means that your body will burn the calories instead of storing them, ensuring a safer method of rapid weight loss as well.

It is that simple people! Exercise ensures that your muscle density is elevated, which means that they must burn more calories when they are in use as well as at rest, which a natural rapid weight loss is dependent upon. It doesn't mean that your muscles will get more bulky, just harder and stronger. Density is not the same thing as size. If you want to increase muscle size, and are not concerned about rapid weight loss, then there are specific exercise and dieting techniques that you can use to do that. However, if rapid weight loss is what you are looking for, you can find more information on how to get the rapid weight loss that you want by changing your dieting and exercise techniques through my website listed below. Your body is a machine, and needs to be fueled and operated properly in order for it to perform at its best. The only way to do this is by "tuning" your body to perform in the manner that you want it to, which will then give you the rapid weight loss that you desire!

Do the strategies taught inside Rapid List Explosion really work? This course is basically a step by step, video training system that shows its members how to copy and paste the same list building method that allowed its owner to generate more than 40k subscribers to his own list within a couple of months. More importantly, it comes with several ready-made resources and tools for members to start using right away which would otherwise have to take several hours to manually create.

1. What Is the Expected End Goal of Using Rapid List Explosion?

The end goal is to have a system that works with almost no effort from your part while the entire system builds your lists for you and then market to them with email messages that you would already have queued up beforehand.

Once I got started building my lists, I have found that my lists sizes are growing at an exponential pace now through the leveraging of other people's efforts. Without having to spend time creating your own content, you should then spend your time learning to maximize your traffic and profits to make more money from the same number of subscribers.

2. If the Rapid List Explosion's List Building Techniques are So Important, Why Aren't More People Building their Own Lists?

Even though most people could see and understand why they had to build their own lists, most are still hesitant to do it as they would usually feel overloaded with information and do not know how to start.

This was a very common problem that happened to me as well since most early list building courses were highly manual and required some technical experience to fully understand and follow. But with this new course, users can expect much less time consuming manual work but can focus more of their time in optimizing their campaigns for more profits.
