Need A Vacation?
Multimillionaire space tourist Dennis
Tito is looking for two people (ideally a
middle-aged, happily married couple)
willing to fly to Mars, spin around the
planet and fly home. He wants to
launch the rocket in January 2018, when
the Earth and Mars will be only 400
million miles of each other. The trip
would take a year and a half and is
fraught with danger but imagine the
publicity you’d get – not to mention the
frequent flyer miles – when (and if) you
make it back!

Are You Really Eating Healthy?
To buy healthy food, you look at the Nutrition Facts labels on food
products. But do you understand what Percent Daily Value (%DV) next
to a nutrient really means?
The percentage is based on a 2,000 calorie per day diet for adults,
and it can help you determine if a food is high or low in a specific
nutrient. For example, 18% for “Total Fat” means
one serving
furnishes 18% of the total amount of fat you should eat in a day.
The general guideline for any one food is 5% or less of a nutrient is
low; 20% or more is high
.
Here are the
recommended daily values:
Nutrient
Ideal
DV %DV
Total Fat
Eat Less Than 65g =100%
Saturated Fat
Eat Less Than 20g =100%
Cholesterol
Eat Less Than 300mg =100%
Sodium
Eat Less Than 2400mg =100%
BONUS TIP:
When comparing two products, make sure “serving size”
is similar. For example, if two jars of peanut butter claim to have
“reduced fat,” compare the %DVs for “Total Fat” on each label.
Stop Annoying Phone Calls
You registered on the Do Not Call Registry, but you still get
unwanted calls. That’s because certain organizations like charities,
opinion survey companies, and political organizations are exempt.
A telemarketer or seller may call you within 18 months
of
your last purchase, delivery or payment.
If you ask them to
stop, they are required to take you off their call list.
A for-profit telemarketer calling for a nonprofit charity
must
honor your request to stop calling.
Debt collectors may call you after 8 a.m. and before 9 p.m.
You can stop them with a written request to the collection agency.
