Australia Issues Largest Silver Coin and Highest Denomination Gold Coin

Australia Issues Largest Silver Coin and Highest Denomination Gold Coin

The Perth Mint’s 10 kilo (22 pounds) gold and silver mega-coins, commemorating “The Year of the Dog,” are among the largest precious metal coins ever made. A german Shepherd appears on the silver coin and a beagle is depicted on the gold coin.

Torrance, CA (PRWEB) July 12, 2006

The Perth Mint’s 10 kilo (22 pounds) gold and silver mega-coins, commemorating “The Year of the Dog,” are among the largest precious metal coins ever made. The issue is limited to 1,000 .999 fine silver and 20 .9999 fine gold coins. The face values of the coins are A$300 and A$30,000, respectively, though they are worth a lot more because of the precious metal content -- and are currently selling for over US$6,000 and nearly US$300,000, respectively. The silver coin has a diameter of 8 inches, and the gold is 7 ½”; each comes in a mammoth clear holder … along with bragging rights.

The 10 kilo silver design features a German Shepherd surrounded by a border of bats and clouds, traditional Chinese symbols of health, peace and prosperity. A Beagle, a cheerful and tenacious dog bred for hunting, is depicted on the gold 10 kilo coin. A traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is on the other side of both coins.

The Year of the Dog, January 29th 2006 to February 17th 2007, is the year 4703 according to the ancient Chinese calendar. Since this occurs every 12 years, those born in 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, and 1994 also have this lunar-zodiac sign. This includes Presidents William Clinton and George W. Bush, rock legends Elvis Presley and the artist formally known as Prince, as well as General Norman Schwarzkopf and Mother Theresa. Among the characteristics associated with the dog sign are loyalty to friends and a good keeper of secrets.

Photos of coins and “Mel Wacks, Panda America’s Director of Public Relations, admiring the mega-coins” are available.

New Breakthrough in Rowing Boats

New Breakthrough in Rowing Boats

Now there's a better way to get fit, enjoy the water and feel free in a revolutionary new Whitehall Spirit® rowing boat. The new stable, sleek Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14™ and the Tango 17™ boats offer a whole new way to row.

(PRWEB) January 5, 2010

Forget raising a sweat in Grandpa's clunky old rowboat. Now there's a better way to get fit, enjoy the water and feel free in a revolutionary new Whitehall Spirit® rowing boat. The new stable, sleek Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14™ and the Tango 17™ boats offer a whole new way to row. They are state-of-the-art slide seat equipped rowing machines in a compact, beautiful package and are also the world's first thermoformed rowing boats.

Pushing hard with both legs you feel the power of your largest muscles transmit into your arms and out through a pair of long, light carbon fiber sculling oars. The boat surges ahead with each stroke and you feel as though you are a huge bird flying low across the water.

It's the new "Mountain Bike of the Sea" built in Canada by Whitehall Rowing & Sail. Until now the choices involved rowing either a fast but tippy racing shell that unfortunately needs flat calm water and a lot of skill, or a heavy old dory like the cod fisherman used to row, seaworthy but hard on the back and slow as molasses.

The Whitehall Spirit® line of thermoformed co-polymer rowing boats are different. They are beautiful, light, strong, virtually unsinkable and maintenance free. These boats redefine recreational rowing. They love waves and rougher water but are excellent in calm water as well.

The classic Whitehall goes back hundreds of years and has always been known as the finest of rowing boats. The Whitehall Spirit® Solo 14™ and the new Tango 17™ feature the latest sliding seat technology that incorporates leg power into the oar stroke. This means lots of power, easy handling, and one of the best fitness workouts you can get.

In fact slide seat rowing uses up to double the calorie burn of jogging with no stress on the joints or ligaments. Melt off those pounds while building up your heart. Read about the fitness benefits at RowForHealth Home Page (http://www. RowForHealth. com)

The Solo 14™ is a single position slide seat boat while the Tango 17™ allows one or two people to slide seat row together at the same time, perfect for couples or friends. Both boats can easily carry extra passengers when needed.

They can both be seen online at Whitehall Spirit® Recreational Rowing Boats Home Page (http://www. whitehallspirit. com) or visit the 2010 Seattle Boat Show January 29th to February 6th at Booth #9 in the West Hall. Come and see Whitehall Rowing & Sail's line of Whitehall Spirit® boats.

Diet Supplement Manufacturer Advises Education as Key Ingredient for Consumers

Diet Supplement Manufacturer Advises Education as Key Ingredient for Consumers

When it comes to dietary supplements, "let the buyer beware" is the message being sent by responsible manufacturers of diet supplements and over-the-counter health and wellness products. Indianapolis-based DMD® Pharmaceuticals chimes in with a supporting opinion.

Carmel, IN (PRWEB) May 17, 2007

It is widely understood that the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is not responsible for verifying the efficacy of the wide range of dietary supplements available today in the marketplace. For consumers, says one leading manufacturer, this means that now, more than ever, knowledge is power when it comes to choosing both diet supplements and over-the-counter (OTC) health and wellness products from on-line and in-store suppliers.

"It's tough to be in the consumer's shoes nowadays. Pretty packages go hand-in-hand with claims that may or may not be substantiated," said Dave Riddle, Compliance Officer for DMD Pharmaceuticals. "That's why we independently research and test our dietary supplement products as well as our OTC pharmaceuticals. We also verify the claims made by the companies who supply us with ingredients as well."

Consumers are advised to become active participants in the choice of the supplements they use to augment their diet and general health. This includes understanding the recommended dosages listed on labels, learning about the specific ingredients (both active and inactive) of the supplement, as well as analyzing the performance of the dietary supplement manufacturer to ensure diet supplements and over-the-counter products are provided by a trusted and well-established source.

"Safety and effectiveness are at the top of our list, with our diet supplements as well as our OTC brands." Riddle added.

How to Make a Fortune on the Internet

How to Make a Fortune on the Internet

How one man turned dot com gloom into dot com boom

(PRWEB) September 3, 2001

Bill Gates once said that “Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.”

If any one man could be said to be the personification of this statement it would have to be fellow North American Mr. Corey Rudl. His name may not be as recognisable as the founder of MicrosoftÂ’s but as a fellow entrepreneur and Internet marketing guru, Rudl has used the Web to turn Dot Com gloom into Dot Com Boom and amass a personal fortune that continues to build to this day.

Back in 1994 the Internet was a mere embryo compared to the behemoth we know today but Corey saw the potential and with just one simple Web page, a budget of US$20,000 and his own unique book called ‘Car Secrets Revealed’, launched himself into fledgling Cyberspace and has never looked back.

After spending literally 12-14 hours a day, 7 days a week trying different marketing techniques online, within 9 months, using the unique promotional techniques he learned and now teaches to others, ‘Car Secrets Revealed’ became the #1 best selling car book online.

Corey found that as more and more people got online, many of the standard marketing techniques were getting overused and becoming ineffective, so he developed "twists" to most of them to ensure they still made a profit whilst everyone else was still using the "regular" approaches to online marketing. The results: the techniques he uses are very unique and have made him very wealthy.

Seven years later and after much trial and error, he knows every marketing trick and tip there is and can literally take almost any business online and make it turn a very healthy profit in a few months.

As a specialist at online sales and marketing, he has become one of the most respected online professional advisors on the Internet and for good reason: he can prove his successes. Today he gets over 4 million visitors to his Web sites and makes over 5.2 million dollars in sales online every year all from his one small office.

His advice to anyone wanting to make a profit from the Internet is to do your homework. Read and study everything you can about on-line marketing before you jump in. Many companies and individuals can spend months using the wrong techniques and end up not making a penny. Make sure you understand what you are getting into with any online business so that your first attempt will be your success!

But there’s no need to do what Corey had to do and spend months trawling the Internet or dusty libraries for that ultimate money making secret. Corey has distilled all of his vast experience into what has become the #1 best-selling Internet marketing course on the Web for the past 3 years. Called ‘Insider’s Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet’, it supplies critical information to anyone who wants to build a successful e-business.

If you are considering starting a business on the Internet or already own one, youÂ’ll find a fascinating and inspirational interview with Corey at www. blue-globe. co. uk. From here you can also subscribe to his free marketing tips newsletter, download free Web marketing intelligence reports and keep your business ahead of the competition with up to the minute e-commerce and Internet news. You can also access CoreyÂ’s own Web site where he reveals his tips, tricks, and tools for online entrepreneurs. It is a great resource and highly recommended.

Who knows, before long, and with a little help from Corey Rudl, you could be giving Microsoft a run for their money!
