Brazil’s Ministry of Health announced on Wednesday that it will launch an anti-AIDS campaign in South Africa, where the FIFA World Cup is underway.

The initiative, named “Score a Goal — Brazil and South Africa in the field against AIDS,” is to be officially launched on Friday, in the Public Viewing, a site in Johannesburg where the population gathers to watch the World Cup matches.

The campaign is to last until July 18, one week after the end of the World Cup.

According to Mariangela Simao, head of the STD (sexually transmitted disease), AIDS and Viral Hepatitis Department under the Brazilian Health Ministry, the idea is share Brazil’s experience in AIDS prevention with the South Africans.

A total of 18 percent of South African population is HIV positive, according to the United Nations. In Brazil, that share falls to 0.6 percent of the population.

A bus from the Ministry will circulate in several South African towns distributing condoms and informing the local population of the ways to prevent AIDS and STDs in general.

Bicycling for as little as five minutes a day can help women control their weight in their 30s and 40s, a new study suggests Wednesday.

The study, published in the June 28 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, followed more than 18,000 women between the ages of 25 and 42 for 16 years.

The study found the women who increased physical activities like brisk walking and bicycling by 30 minutes a day during the 16-year period maintained their weight and even lost a few pounds, but those whose exercise was slow walking did not lose any weight.

According to the study, women who started biking for just five minutes a day gained about 1.5 fewer pounds over the course of the study than similar women who didn’t take up biking.

“This is not suggesting that if you bicycle for five minutes you will immediately go back to the weight you were when you were 18,” said Anne C. Lusk, a research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health and an author of the paper.

But Lusk pointed out biking and walking are easier than many other forms of exercise to incorporate into everyday life.

“It’s highly suggestive that bicycling is highly beneficial in women,” Lusk added.

Back in 2000 I wrote a book “Starting an Internet Business at Home” which was published in hard copy format by Kogan Page (ISBN 0749434848).

It is currently out of print but in its day it was considered hot stuff and sold over 20,000 copies in bookstores world wide.

At the time I though I knew all there was to know about online marketing but a few days ago I happened across a little book by another author that shattered my illusions and exposed how little I really know.

It reveals the astonishing story of how the writer took a single idea and turned it into $37,omega de ville,641.85 in just 24 days.

Moreover, he demonstrates step by step exactly how he did it.

So what did I learn that I didn’t know before?

Manifold gems of wisdom on online marketing, including…

1.The building blocks to conducting effective online market research

2.How to develop products in obscure but highly popular niche areas

3.How to create them seamlessly and inexpensively

4.Why falling in love with your produce is the worst mistake you can make

5.An ingenious and incredibly simple strategy for attracting JV partners

6.How to use other people’s websites to jack up overall sales

7.A little known but highly reputable POD (print on demand) source where the pricing starts at $5.95 for just ONE book � perfect bound with ISBN and free shipping to customers

Oh, and lots of other useful things, but especially how to repeat another author’s proven format over and over again.

So what will I do with my new found wisdom?

Two things in the first instance…

First off I will breathe some fresh life into several of my own existing self-generated products that started with a bang and died off soon after like damp squibs. Now I know (thanks to another author) how to re-launch them to new heights – and keep them up there.

Secondly I intend to venture into new pastures and create a whole bunch of innovative products for popular niche markets I didn’t even know existed.
