Budget Begins At Home!

Monday, March 31st, 2008

By HPriya Sivan Mom, you dont need a LOreal hair dye, you look elegant with streaks of white here and there..” he grins and then takes a dig at his sister. stop her music classes, dad, at least we can stop hearing her morning brays..!”. He is angry because his pocket money has been cut. Dad was not happy with the previous months happenings in the financial front at his home and he decided to set it right by setting up a budget and strictly enforcing it! Dad decides on budgeting and plans minimize the expenses consciously by reducing expenses on groceries and other domestic expenses. All goes well till the end of the month when suddenly they have guests from a far off country. It was pitiable when the head of the family started counting the few notes again and again. He seeks help from his saviour the credit card. We will surely make it this month dad says. Poor dad does not know that he would have to shell out a few notes for a wedding gift in a few days. The invitation was yet to come. Finally the family gives up and decides to face the expense as it comes. The reason why they quit is they really dont know what budgeting is. There are many advantages in budgeting. Can anyone imagine the government or a major corporation operating without a budget? A budget is a guide to measure our financial progress. Before the credit cards came into use, we had the real money to deal with, and we could actually know what we were doing with the money. But now the improper usage of credit card may make us live beyond our means and get us knee deep into debts. Budgets actually help us in meticulous planning of handling money and those cards and give us the extra money, which we need during times of emergency. We sleep better at nights not worrying about the tomorrow when we would have to meet those heavy expenses. The latest trend is to plan budget on how to reduce spending money. To spend less is to save more. Set realistic goals, try to fit in the budget according to situations and update the budget as and when required. Let the budgeting process be a tool to spend less and save more!

Brisbane Web Design - The Most Common Mistakes Businesses Make

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

By John Hacking Foggy or undefined business goals - your web site needs a purpose. For example, the purpose of my web site is: “to support word-of-mouth and classified advertising of my web design services to small businesses and sole traders in the CBD and southern suburbs of Brisbane. I will know if it is successful if it generates an average of at least five enquiries or three sales per month.” A Bad Business Model - a great web site will not save a bad business model. If you cannot state in one sentence what you have to offer, or why you are different to your competitors, then you have major marketing problems. Remember, your web pages are competing 21 billion other web pages on the Internet. Without a good business model and marketing and PR support, your business will have difficulty in succeeding. Focusing on style rather than substance - it’s easy to waste a lot of money on fancy Flash pages, Java script, music, graphics and other techniques that add little to your sites value and make it slower to download and harder to navigate. When in doubt - don’t do it. Your web site should be designed so that even people with older versions of browsers and slow old modems can still get the information they need quickly. Trying to be all things to all people - getting found on the Internet means a focused approach to marketing. Pick one product or service offering and build a web site around that one offering. By appealing to different markets with unconnected products means that your search engine rankings will suffer. Pick a profitable niche and focus on that niche. Using a generic domain name - the more unique and memorable your domain name, the better. Domains like pets.com or computer.com describe the product category, not the brand. google.com, dell.com , yahoo.com are easy to say, easy to remember and excellent brand names for the web. Do what they do, choose your online name carefully. Not having a domain name at all - the use of a web address like ispname/~fashionshop looks unprofessional and “small-time”. Invest the $40 or so it costs to have your own domain name. Not thinking like a customer - your web site should anticipate your prospects’ questions and be designed with them in mind. What do they want to know? What’s the best way to tell them? What proof can I offer? Consumers don’t necessarily want to make the best buying decision, they are usually happy just avoiding a bad one. Not listing prices - the second question all prospects ask after “have they got what I’m looking for” is “how much is it?”. If you can give straight pricing, do so. Prospects are looking for value, not necessarily the lowest price. Value = offer/price. If you have a strong offer and your prices are reasonable you will represent value to your prospects. If you don’t state your prices then the value can’t be calculated. If you charge by the hour, state your rates for the type of work you do and a typical project cost. Bad spelling, punctuation or grammar - there’s no excuse for typos, bad spelling or bad grammar. Always get your web site proof read by an independent party. If you do find an error, fix it promptly. Not allowing for growth or updates - your web site design should allow for growth in content and easy changing of content. New product lines, additional locations, extra consumer information should all be catered for without the need for a major site redesign. This website uses what’s called a content management system. Not considering search engines - The primary way people will find you online is via search engines like google, altavista and sensis. By adding key words to the header of your web pages, using paragraph headings, linking to related sites and other techniques, you can improve your ranking in search results. Investing too much in electronic order taking systems - if you expect to receive less than 10 orders per day from your web site, it’s probably far easier to use a simple order form and manual credit card processing using your EFTPOS machine than building real-time electronic payment processing systems. For low to medium volumes, another option is the range of merchant tools from PayPal. It takes about 5 minutes to insert a Buy Now button on your web page that allows customers to pay immediately by credit card. Investing too little in online marketing - in most cases it pays to invest in online marketing. Unlike traditional media, with online marketing you can choose your daily budget and the cost-per-click of your marketing campaign. With good reason, Goggle Adwords is the leader in pay-per-click advertising. Learn about Adwords or hire a consultant who does. For about $5 -$10 per day you can get yourself a source of steady, qualified leads. Not responding quickly to inquiries that come via the Internet - the Internet works very quickly. It takes less than a second to send an e-mail from Australia to Europe. Internet users are impatient. They want immediate results. If you take a few days to answer and e-mail there’s a good chance you’ve already lost the sale to someone who understands this and acts quickly. Check your e-mail twice a day and once a day on weekends if possible. Unreadable pages - your pages should be clean, simple and readable. Red writing on a black background may look rather funky, but it is hard to read and will lose visitors quickly. Similarly with fonts. Only use fonts that you would usually see in a mainstream newspaper or magazine. Unprintable pages - if you use lots of graphics and coloured text on coloured backgrounds it my be difficult for prospective customers to print out your pages. Black on white/cream works well. It’s easy to read as well as cheap and fast to print. Using stock photos and graphics - photos can really ad impact to a web page, but don’t be tempted to use the same stock photos that everyone else does. You know what I mean, “man with briefcase running” or “business meeting” or “close-up of pen on table” or even “business handshake closing a deal”. These are the sort of cheesy images a 12 year old would put in a school project. If possible, use original photos of you and your business. Bad site navigation - it should take a maximum of three clicks for your reader to find the information they are looking for. 40 seconds is the average time a person will spend scanning your web site to see if you have want they want.

Thank God, He’s Gone

Friday, March 28th, 2008

By Annie Kaszina Harriet*s face had been etched into a mask of anxiety and pain by the years spent putting herself last while she tried to make bad relationships work. She came up to me on the last day of the course Id been running on Domestic Violence Recovery to tell me how far she had come along her journey. She said shed learned so much that shed wished shed known before. She also said that in recent years she had made better relationships. Shed been through domestic violence and wasnt going there any more. Her latest relationship, which had ended during my course, had not been abusive, but her partner had been difficult, the kind of man who pulls you down. He was, she said, always negative, with no energy, someone who needed her to support him emotionally the whole time. She had found him a drain. He was someone who didnt say or do very much. He relied on her to lift his spirits and do all the caring. He didnt lift a finger around the house, or even buy the occasional bottle of wine to show willing. But still, she had been sad when it had ended because he was a lovely person; he was just a little depressed and depressing her judgement not mine. Then, as she continued to think about her lovely ex, Harriets face changed completely. She said, more to herself than me: Actually, you know, he was abusive. It is abusive to pull your partner down and contribute nothing to a relationship, but take, take, take. She ran quickly through his behaviours and attitudes again registering his constant lack of respect and consideration of her feelings and re-evaluating her entire relationship. And then she said it: Thank God hes gone - the very phrase that became my refrain after my own unlovely partners departure. Harriet had started to see all the limitations that a depressive, inconsiderate partner imposed on her life and all the opportunities and options that lay before her without him there to blight them. It wasnt that she envisaged a future of wild days and nights partying with beautiful people in exotic places. What she saw was being able to return home after a days work, free to do exactly what she wanted. She saw the simple pleasures of being able to cook herself a meal - or not - chat to a friend, flop in front of the television, or soak in a hot tub without the constant need to worry about and lift another persons mood. She saw herself actually having the space to put herself first for once and even love herself first. Instead of last. She saw herself as blessed by his departure, rather than proved to be a failure as a woman and a partner. She saw it as the start of a new and rewarding period in her life her relationship with herself rather than the end of her last hope of ever being in a relationship. She saw it as the door slamming on a miserable past, rather than slamming on any hope of ever creating a worthwhile future. She saw that his presence, rather than his absence, diminished her. She saw that she had a far greater chance of dreaming, and achieving her dreams, without him than she had ever had with him. And instead of bemoaning the failure of the relationship and her single status, she rejoiced in the promise of her future. Thank God, hes gone. Thank God, Harriet can see that anyone who brings her down and disregards her feelings is abusive and that life will be far, far richer without him. *not her real name (C) 2006 Annie Kaszina Annie Kaszina Ph D, is a coach and writer who has helped hundred of women to rebuild their confidence and their life after an abusive relationship.

The New Era Of Mobile Imaging

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Caitlin_Lucy]Caitlin Lucy The first camera phone - ‘J-SH04′ was introduced in Japan in November 2000. In the span of the last six years, the camera have taken many giants leaps and now threatening to outgrow the phone itself. Imagine a high definition camera with digital zoom, auto focus and everything you’d expect in it that also doubles up as a 3G mobile phone. Thats Nokia N73 for you. We are yet to realize it but the future of mobile imaging is already here. Nokia regards their N-series models as multimedia computers and rightly so. The size, resolution and color depth of pictures taken by the N73 strongly justifies that. The integrated 3.2 mega pixel camera uses a CMOS sensor to get the great shot. But what makes the picture perfect is the Carl Zeiss auto focus lens with the mechanical shutter. You can develop images of ‘actual’ photos quality up to 25 x 20 cm size. The Nokia N73 also records high quality videos at a maximum 352 x 288 resolution in MPEG4 format. There is also a second VGA camera with video conferencing. What makes the N73 more appealing is the simplicity it maintains despite its extraordinary capabilities. It has a straightforward candy bar design and an absolutely standard keypad. The rocker keys serves as control for volume when you’re listening to music or talking to someone as well as zoom keys when you are taking photographs. The camera is active the moment to slide the protective cover. The company have done a good job by keeping it simple and easy which surprisingly not common in other smart phones. Quad band, with EDGE and UMTS, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), Video calling, Call Conferencing, MS Office and PDF document viewer, web and WAP browser, - the Nokia N73 have the answers to everything you’d want from a 3G phone.

Why You Should Use Fruits for Constipation

Monday, March 24th, 2008

By Rudy Silva Fruits are made by nature and are a perfect food. They contain the right balance of nutrients with distilled water. You gain enormous benefits from eating fruits especially if you eat the outer skin and eat them without cooking. They are easy to digest and absorb and do not stress your colon. Fruits contain fiber, which help to cleanse your colon and prevent constipation. Most fruits help provide the body with minerals that help the body reduce acid as it is created. And most important of all, fruits help cleanse the body of mucus slime that accumulates throughout the body. Fruits do not leave any slime residue in the body when eaten except when they have pesticides and preservatives in their outer skin. They do not ferment or putrefy in your colon, as do processed foods, dairy products and meats. Choose your fruits carefully. They should be eaten when they are fully ripe. Do not eat them if they are under ripe or overripe. In the under ripe condition they may be acidic and in the overripe condition the many contain more natural sugar. Fruits, vegetables, and grains contain fructooligosaccharides, FOS. It is this compound that helps to feed the good bacteria in your colon. Without an adequate supply of FOS, good bacteria will dwindle and bad bacteria will flourish. Just Plain Fruits Eat fruits throughout the day but especially in the evening. This will help to promote a bowel movement in the morning. These are the fruits you should eat. * Apples * Apricots * Avocados * Bananas * Blueberries * Boysenberries * Cantaloupes * Cherries * Figs and dates * Grapes * Lemons * Papayas * Peaches * Pears * Persimmons * Plums * Prunes * Raspberries Apples Eat 3-4 apples a day to relieve constipation. It does not matter what type of apple you eat, but I like gala or Fuji apples since they are small and crisp. It is best to use fresh organic apples when eating apples as a snack since you will not know what pesticides were used in growing the apples. If apples are not organic, it is better to peel the apple before eating. Using baked apples also helps to clear constipation. Eat one baked apple at night, right before bedtime, and one just upon rising. Do this until you constipation is cleared. In his book, John Heinerman, Heinermans Encyclopedia of Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs, describes how to bake apples: Cut apples in half and clear out the centers. Add chopped dates to the center. Pour some cranberry juice over the dates and apples. Then sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on the top. You can pour cranberry juice on some of the apples and see if you like the taste after they are cooked. Cook apples for 46-60 min at 375-400 C. Dried Apples Dried apple slices are also a good source of fiber. However, when the slices are dehydrated most nutrients are lost but fiber is retained. Sulfur dioxide is typically used to dry apple slices and this can cause allergic or asthmatic reactions in some people. I do not recommend using dried apple slices in place of fresh organic apples. Just Apples and Mineral Water Just after waking, eat two unpeeled apples, chew well, and then drink 8 oz of water that has two drops of Alkalife. Or, you can use any other mineral additive or supplement you use. This combination of apples and activated mineral water will stimulate your colon to become less sluggish and to move fecal matter out of the rectum. I find Alkalife on e-Bay. This product cost $29.00 on the Internet, but I have bought it for $17.00 on e-Bay. Using fruits to relieve or clear constipation is a powerful natural remedy. Eat fruits every day and between meals and you will relieve your constipation. Look for other articles that will tell about other fruits to relieve constipation.

Preventing Child Abductions

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

By Frank Child molesters and abductors usually look like everyday people. They can be anybody, the teacher, next door neighbor, mailman and they come in all ages, old and young. Tell your kids not to talk to adults they do not know. Anytime they are approached by an unfamiliar adult they should check with a parent or trusted adult immediately! Often times they will befriend a child by asking for help or offering something for they attention. Some examples are: Asking to help find a lost item or pet, offering reward money or for the very young ones candy or toys for assistance, saying they are good friends with mom or dad, acting like a police officer (children should only approach uniformed police officers, and/or marked police cars). They may also gain your child’s trust by very minor contacts over several days, such as saying hello to them repeatedly. Make sure your children know to tell you if a stranger is trying to make friends with them right away! Child molesters and abductors who prey on children wait for the right opportunity, like when the child is alone. Children should not be outside their home by themselves, even for short periods of time. They should walk to and from school and bus stops in groups. Working together with other families in your neighborhood to develop a formal plan for kids to walk together is a good idea. Parents are encouraged to join or organize a Neighborhood Watch program in their community. A car or other vehicle such as a van is often the means by which the abductor kidnaps the child from the neighborhood. Children should never approach a vehicle unless they are absolutely sure they know the occupants. Abductors entice children to walk near their vehicles with some type of gift or questions and then pull them inside. If children routinely see the same car parked (or following them) on their normal walking routes (to and from school, etc.) they should report it to trusted adults immediately! And the local police should be notified if strange activity is apparent! Here are some statistics: Approximately 879,000 children (or 12.2 per 1,000) were maltreated (neglected or abused) in 2000. Sixty-three percent of maltreated children were neglected, nineteen percent were physically abused, ten percent were sexually abused, and eight percent were emotionally or psychologically maltreated. In 2000, 51.9 percent of child victims of maltreatment were female, and 48.1 percent were male. The rate of victimization of children was inversely related to the age of the child. Children from birth to age 3 were victimized at the highest rate. More than half of all child victims were white (50.6 percent), almost a quarter were black (24.7 percent), and nearly a sixth (14.2 percent) were Hispanic. American Indian/Alaska Natives made up 1.6 percent of victims, and Asian-Pacific Islanders accounted for 1.4 percent. Nearly nine percent of child victims experienced recurrence of maltreatment within six months of the initial substantiated incident. The majority of perpetrators of child maltreatment in 2000 were women (59.9 percent), while men accounted for 40.1 percent. Seventy-nine percent of perpetrators were parents of the maltreated child, and other relatives made up 8.5 percent of perpetrators. Both parents were perpetrators in 18.7 percent of cases. Thirty-seven children were killed by their babysitter in 2001.

If You’ve Got the Guts - We Can Help You Lose Weight

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

By Kevin Hinton If youve got the guts we can help you lose weight. The problem with weight loss is not so much what foods to eat but rather - Do we have the self-discipline to carry out the necessary program in order to achieve our goal? In many cases unfortunately I suspect NO! So, do we go into a long-winded diatribe on the assessment of self or do we simply look in the mirror and ask the boss Am I sincere in my desire to lose weight? If the answer that reflects back is YES then the following tips will ABSOLUTELY assist you in achieving your goals. 1. Set yourself realistic goals dont try to lose all your excess weight in one fell swoop set a goal of losing 1,2,3,4 or 5 pounds (1-2 kgs) per week inch by inch its a cinch yard by yard its hard. 2. Set a daily dietary program we suggest a plant based diet that provides all the necessary ingredients to maintain a healthy transition. 3. Make it a pledge not to eat take-aways for the first week. 4. Incorporate the No Breakfast plan if this is not feasible, try fruit only or diluted fruit juice for breakfast. 5. Dont eat in between meals if you are weak in this area chew something like an apple or carrot (Ill explain this later) 6. It is not necessary to drink multiple glasses/bottles of water a day especially if your diet is plant based. 7. Chew your food until it is an emulsion in other words a liquid. An old adage says chew your liquids and drink your foods. See note at the end. 8. When socializing, like going to a bar-b-q, take along a huge salad but be prepared to have everyone else eat it so get in early. 9. Take a picture of yourself before and place it on the fridge and of course, take a picture after and place it on your mirror 10. Stick to it for 1 week and then reset your goal for the next week. Note: #s 4 & 6 are very important the more we use our strongest muscles jaw muscles the more tired we will become and as we become tired we feel less and less like doing more SO! We eat less if we chew more.

Gastric Bypass Complications Not Worth The Risk?

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

By Susannah Young Gastric bypass surgery was once a last-chance resort for the morbidly obese to shed pounds rapidly and easily. Of late, the surgery has been marketed as a first option for weight loss — an effortless means of losing large amounts of weight quickly. The surgery is a way to lose weight due to an imposed lifestyle change, rather than a conscientious decision to change eating habits and become more active. Though they are not inevitable, gastric bypass complications are often severe and occur with enough frequency that it should make you think twice before making the decision to have the surgery. Gastric bypass is an extremely risky surgery. Researchers at the University of Washington conducted studies concluding that 1 in 50 people die within a month of undergoing gastric bypass surgery. Five times as many deaths occur if the surgeon is inexperienced. 10-20 percent of patients require some sort of follow-up operation to correct a complication of the surgery. Abdominal hernias, abscess, ulcers, gallstones, embolism (blood clots), and gastrointestinal leaking from staple breakdown are common. And thats just in the early post-operative period. There may also be other side effects and complications which have not yet become apparent. Its important to remember that in addition to being a very risky procedure, gastric bypass is also a new procedure. As such, there may be other complications and side effects which have not yet become apparent. Almost 30 percent of patients who undergo gastric bypass develop nutritional deficiencies. A gastric bypass causes the food you consume to bypass the duodenum and jejunum places where important minerals are absorbed into the bloodstream. Patients are at high risk for developing iron deficiency anemia, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and calcium deficiencies. On the extreme, after patient Loren Root received gastric bypass surgery, she dropped to a dangerous 87 pounds due to malnutrition and an inability to consume enough food to maintain a healthy weight. Gastric bypass may seem like a convenient solution, but easy solutions to complicated problems are rarely as easy as they first seem.
