			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><P>Sure you have catecholamines – all speakers do. (including Sir Winston Churchill and Presidents Kennedy, Carter, and Reagan.) Those are the chemicals that make you sweat, make your heart beat fast and make your hands shake. Get rid of those chemical and psychological reactions by becoming message-centered and audience-centered, not self-centered. <P>1 Replace fear and negative noise with positive affirmations. Create new beliefs that nurture you and support you with new ways of thinking. The New Adult You! example: “I am well prepared, and the audience wants me to succeed.” <P>2. Do a quiet meditation, visualization, or exercise before you speak. Breathe deeply. Deep breathing sends a message to your brain that you have nothing to fear. It calms you down. <P>3 Who cares if you’re nervous? Researchers have found that most people report noticing little or no anxiety in a speaker. If you are thoroughly prepared, your internal nervousness seldom shows. Prepare 150%. <P>4.Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. Talk out loud, and walk around while you practice. Use the same physical energy you plan to use on the day of your presentation. <P>The Coach sez. . . practice in front of your mirror .Practice in the car. If you can concentrate while driving, you will be able to pull it from your unconscious when are you in front of the group. Make your points sound spontaneous and conversational. <P>5. Exercise is an antidote to stress. Arrive early and take a brisk walk for at least five minutes. If it is raining or snowing outside, you can still do some body stretches. <P>6. Abstain from caffeine and alcohol before you speak. You don’t need more jitters. Always wear your favorite outfit and use attractive colors. Women, go simple on the jewelry. Avoid too much black and white. <P>7. For trembling hands, place your hands on the side of your chair, and, count to 10 as you try to lift the seat. This is an isometric exercise that works and nobody will notice you doing it. <P>8. Don&#8217;t be perfect. Give yourself permission to make mistakes. No one is perfect in real life. Get the butterflies in your stomach to fly in formation. That’s how you convert your stress into speaking power! <P>9. Reduce your nervousness by taking several deep breaths immediately before you &#8216;re introduced. And for you chocoholics, eat some chocolate to relax your vocal chords. <P>11 If you experience dry mouth, chew your tongue to increase saliva flow. Singers do this. Close your lips and bite down on the entire surface. Always have a glass of tepid (not cold) water nearby. <P>12 Focus on a friendly face in the audience. Pretend you are having a conversation, rather than giving a speech. Just be yourself. <P>13 The Coach sez. . .Most of all, enjoy yourself and have fun. SMILE. After all, aren’t you glad to be there? The sign of a mature adult is one who does not take himself too seriously. <P>14 Here is a vocal warm-up exercise used at the Ryal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London. Say:PaPaPaPa, BaBaBaBa, TaTaTaTa, DaDaDaDa, KaKaKaKa, GaGaGaGa Then do it backwards.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><img src="http://beautifullifex.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/phong-nha-ke-bang-and-fansipan.jpg" alt="" /><em><span style="font-size:10pt;">According to NewOpenWorld, the organiser of the new world natural wonder selection, Vietnam’s Phong Nha-Ke Bang and Fansipan Mountain were rejected from the selection list because of lack of official support committees.</span></em></p>
<p style="margin:0;" align="left"><span style="font-size:10pt;">In an email answering Tien Phong Newspap</span><span style="font-size:10pt;">er’s question about why it removed the two above sites from the nomination list, NewOpenWorld said all nominees become official nominees when they have official support committees, otherwise they will be removed.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0;" align="left">
<p style="margin:0;" align="left"><span style="font-size:10pt;">According to NewOpenWorld, each nominated site must be registered, using NewOpenWorld’s form, and faxed to +49-89-818196033. The registration form includes the name of the site and information about the support committee.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0;" align="left">
<p style="margin:0;" align="left"><span style="font-size:10pt;">The committee must be assigned by the government or have a legal presence or responsibility to the registered site.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0;" align="left">
<p style="margin:0;" align="left"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Nguyen Van Tinh, Head of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Physical Training’s International Cooperation Agency, said that Phong Nha-Ke Bang and Fansipan were nominated by local administrations and the media. Only Ha Long Bay was registered and supported by the government and state agencies. Ha Long’s support committee is temporarily the People’s Committee of Quang Ninh province.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0;" align="left">
<p style="margin:0;" align="left"><span style="font-size:10pt;">To maintain the top position of Ha Long Bay in this selection, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is printing posters to deliver to passengers on Vietnam Airlines flights, organising Vietnamese cultural weeks abroad, which include events to advertise Ha Long Bay.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0;" align="left">
<p style="margin:0;" align="left"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Quang Ninh province, the site of Ha Long Bay, is awaiting the government’s approval to launch a nationwide campaign calling for votes for Ha Long Bay.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0;" align="left">
<p style="margin:0;" align="left"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Pham Sanh Chau, Chief of the External Cultural and UNESCO Agency under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said NewOpenWorld will choose only one wonder in each country. Is it reasonable that three scenic spots of Vietnam be represented in the selection? Should Vietnam focus on only one nominee?</span></p>
