Experienced

Maybe this is experienced by many children under the age of 7 years, which is difficult to eat or eat a little enthusiasm, because at this age a child would rather play than eat, even children can forget the time when you're busy playing. I also experienced this, what my mom did? he gave me fishoil. When I asked why I had to drink it, she said let's appetite increases (my body was still thin).

Fish oil It was shown to increase appetite, after I drank my dinner again increased morale, and sometimes eat up to 4 times. After 2 to three months are always the desire to eat will come back again, that's when we drink fishoil back. So drink fishoil not just once but it takes some time until we wake up your appetite.
Fish oil but can also be used for adults, to increase the desire to eat more and also keep the body's metabolism. If you've eaten too much, instead of our parents are anxious .... Understandably eat increases ... inventory should also be added.

The Underutilized Forest and Wood Biofuel

As people are waiting for "them" to make biofuel available as a source of energy there are many of us who have been using forest biofuel to heat our homes for generations. This biofuel is sold on the free market without government subsidies or a need for more research and development.

Wood can be made into many biofuel products like methane, alcohol, or diesel and it can be burned directly to power electric generators to produce electricity. All of these are expensive and energy intensive. After refining wood into these biofuels the cost and energy used has not made wood biofuel a viable source of energy. The exception to that is burning wood to generate electricity which has experienced some commercial success.

What people often overlook is a form of wood biofuel that requires very little or no processing and that is wood as a heating fuel. While people are waiting for biofuel they are still using fossil fuels to heat their homes when they could switch today to an economically proven biofuel heat source which is to burn wood.

Since there is little or no processing required, direct heating with wood is more efficient than turning wood into another fuel such as diesel or electricity. The raw material is directly converted to the desired product which is heat.

The most basic form of wood biofuel is simple firewood for wood stoves and fireplaces. This is a very desirable form of energy for many homes but it's not for everyone. Burning firewood does have some disadvantages such as wood handling, it can be messy and can produce smoke. Although modern wood stoves have come a long way in reducing emissions and efficiency. Modern wood stoves can burn with no visible smoke. Burning firewood is not as convenient as other heat sources since you have to continually feed fuel into the fire.

The alternative to fireplaces and firewood stoves is wood pellet stoves. Wood pellets require more processing but pellet stoves are more efficient than firewood stoves so it makes up for the difference. A pellet stove combines the use of renewable biofuel with the convenience of traditional electric, gas or oil heating systems.

Pellet stoves have automatic fuel feeding systems and are thermostatically controlled. Wood pellets are available today and have been proven as a heat source that is competitive and can even cost less than fossil fuels.

Both firewood and wood pellets are available as a practical source of forest biofuel that you can start using today. Which one you choose depends on your situation and preferences.

HOME :: Investing / Futures-and-Commodities How To Invest In Crude Oil Futures And Options By MK Smith Article Word Count: 430 [View Summary] Comme

Many people believe that the prices of crude oil futures and unleaded gas futures are too cheap at the current levels for various reasons but do not know how to invest in energy futures and options.

What is a crude oil futures option? A crude oil futures option is the right but not the obligation to buy (call) or sell (put) 1000 barrels of crude oil for a certain price (strike price) by a certain period of time (expiration date). The option buyer pays a premium for this right. A hypothetical example might be buying 1 June $65 crude oil futures call option for a premium cost of $1000. Keep in mind that premium cost does not include commissions and any related fees. The premium paid and the commissions and fees are the maximum risk of capital loss that an option purchaser might sustain. The person speculating on this particular crude oil futures call option is hoping for the price of June crude oil futures to increase enough for them to sell (offset) the option for a profit anytime before the option expires.

There are various futures contracts that are closely related to crude oil futures because they are made from crude oil such as heating oil futures and unleaded gas futures. An unleaded gas futures option gives the option buyer the right but not the obligation to buy (call) or sell (put) 42,000 gallons of unleaded gas for a certain price (strike) by a certain period of time (expiration date). A hypothetical example might be buying 1 July $1.80 unleaded gas futures call option for $900. Once again, the premium cost does not include commissions and fees. The premium paid and the commissions and fees are the maximum risk of capital loss that an option purchaser might sustain. The option speculator is hoping for the price of July unleaded gas futures to increase enough for them to sell (offset) their option for a profit anytime before the option expiration date.

Crude oil futures options and unleaded gas futures options investing are very risky and are not suitable for all investors. Buying options can lead to the loss of the entire amount invested.

Why are crude oil futures contract prices quoted in barrels and heating oil futures and unleaded gas futures contracts are quoted in gallons? One barrel of crude oil is 42 gallons so the contracts are actually leveraging the same amount of petroleum or the products. It is less confusing to have different contract quotes for the distillates of crude oil and the crude oil itself.

The author of this article has 13 plus years of commodity option trading experience and wishes to educate investors so they can make prudent investment decisions based on a deeper knowledge of the option markets before they risk their hard earned money. Future option trading is not for everyone and only risk capital should be used when investing. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/education.htm to learn more.
