Are Fat People Really Destroying America? Obesity is an Epidemic

As a freelance writer, I often look to write articles on important topics that are making the news, things people want to read about, topics that help people grow, change, learn something new, empowering, affect change or just make someone feel something or thing in a positive way.

I write for various freelance writing sites, and one of those sites allows other writers to write content for things they too think are hot topics. I enjoy reading and perusing this site, hearing what other people have to say, so one day, during a short break from writing, I stumbled across an article written by a woman who apparently has distaste for fat people she says that obesity is an epidemic, about which I cannot argue, but she goes so far as to state that fat people are a threat to national security and should be shunned by society.

She offers no solutions to the problem, but rather only rants about how she personally feels about the obesity epidemic in America today.

So I decided to do a bit of research about obesity in America and I discovered that her numbers were accurate in what was reported and the conclusion is: obesity and overweight are increasing in America, and around the globe, and it is affecting peoples health and lives.

However, to go so far as to blame all overweight or obese people for every problem that exists in America today, to say they should be shunned, or somehow insinuate that overweight people should be outcasts is just absurd and does nothing to help fix the problem of obesity and overweight issues in America.

obesity is on the rise for numerous reasons, including but not limited to: lifestyles we work more now than before, mostly office jobs, and there is not a lot of time left over for physical activity; overeating yes, some people are overweight because they eat too much; convenience and fast foods these have more starch, sugar, salt and fat than home made prepared foods; hormones cattle and poultry are raised on steroids and hormones, which when we consume meats we consume these too, and this is relatively new; better health care yes, some diseases that used to kill us now are treatable, but obesity is a potential side effect as well as new medications that werent on the market 15 years ago that cause weight gain as a side effect; and more.

If you are truly interested in battling the bulge obesity is causing in America, I invite you all to quit pointing the finger and laying the blame and saying, Bad fat people! and actually learn about why obesity is an epidemic and what we can do about it.

Activation Fails with Error Code 0x8004FE33 or 0x80004005

activation fails when you try to activate Windows Vista or Windows Longhorn Server over the internet

This article pertains to any of the following Vista errors.

1.Activation fails with error code 0x8004FE33.

2. The following Error events may be recorded in the Application log:

Log Name: Application
Source: software Licensing service
Event ID: 8198
Level: error Description: License activation (SLUI.exe) failed with the following error code: 0x80004005
Log Name: Application
Source: software Licensing service
Event ID: 1008
Level: error Description: Acquisition of Secure Processor Certificate failed. status Code=hr=0x8004FE33

3. activation is not successful, and you are not prompted for credentials.

The reason for this may happen when you connect to the internet through a proxy server that has basic authentication enabled. When the proxy server is configured for Basic authentication, the server requires that you type a username and a password. However, the activation user interface does not let you enter these credentials. Therefore, the Basic authentication fails, and activation is not successful.

Here is what you can try.
1.Simply do not use the basic authentication on the proxy server or pick up that phone and activate over the phone. It is automated and should only take about 7 minutes.
2.If you must use the Basic Authentication then exclude the urls for the certificate revocation lists from. Do this by unauthenticating the CRLs from the proxy server
