How to Assemble The Law Firm Puzzle

By Allison Shields Imagine trying to do one of those 1000 (or more) piece jigsaw puzzles without looking at the picture without having any idea what the finished puzzle would look like. Now imagine that youre doing the puzzle without the picture, but not all of the pieces in the box belong to the same puzzle. How do you know which ones belong? How can you complete the puzzle effectively? Failing to develop strategic plans for your law firm is like trying to do the puzzle without knowing which pieces belong or what the end result is supposed to look like. Strategic Planning Made Easy
The four steps in the EASE method of strategic planning will make your planning a breeze: Envision, Analyze, Strategize, and Evaluate. Envision the Result You Want
What does a law firms strategic plan look like? Every strategic plan must start with a vision of what you want the end result to be. This is the first step in the EASE method Envision. The vision is like the photo on the puzzle box its a detailed picture what you want to get out of the plan. For example, if youre working on a firm business plan, youll create a vision of what you want your practice to become. It will include such things as: what youll be known for, how youll serve your clients, what areas of law youll practice in, how much revenue your firm will make, how many offices youll have, how many employees will work for the firm, and what the firms core values will be. Analyze Where You Are Now
The next step in creating a plan is to Analyze your current situation. Take stock of where you are, who your best and worst clients are, what practice areas you focus on now, where your revenue comes from, how your clients are referred to you. Youll also analyze your competition: who are they? Why do clients choose you over your competition? What does your competition offer that you dont? What changes are occurring in the marketplace? What are your potential clients needs and wants? Which pieces fit with your vision, and which dont? Strategize How Youll Get To Your Vision From Where You Are Now
After youve taken stock of your current position, its time to Strategize. This step consists of setting broad goals and identifying objectives that will help you reach those goals. Youll create action plans with specific deadlines for completion. The action plans break down your objectives into discrete steps, so that you can move toward those goals. For example, if a firm goal is to increase referrals and client loyalty, you must ask questions like: What kind of service do my potential clients expect? How can we provide those services in a way that distinguishes us from the competition? How can we package our services to be more attractive to our target market? Heres an example of the beginnings of what such a plan might look like: Goal: Increase client loyalty and referrals Objective 1: Create client survey program Action Plan for Objective 1: Research client surveys on the internet by September 1Write first draft of client survey by September 15 Objective 2: Improve relationships with good referral sources Action Plan for Objective 2: Create schedule for referral communications by September 7Contact three referral sources per month and schedule coffee, lunch, etc. Without goals, it is difficult to concentrate and avoid distractions. Although the goals themselves may change, having the goals is exceptionally important. In order to reduce stress, you must increase your control over your environment. Paying attention gives you much more control. Establish priorities, match skills to the challenges youre presented with. Stress comes from doing what you hate OR avoiding it. Evaluate and Revise
The final step in the planning process is to Evaluate and revise the plan. Planning is an ongoing process. As your firm changes, the marketplace changes and your clients change, the plan needs to change, too. The results of the actions youve taken must be evaluated to determine whether theyve been successful, and whether theyre likely to continue to be successful. In order to evaluate, youll have to keep track of your progress as you go along. Recognize that continuous testing (and making mistakes) is the only way to determine what really works and what doesnt. Law firms often fail to set aside the time to look back to see whether their efforts have been successful, or to continue testing once they think theyve found something that works. But to improve sometimes means taking risks and changing something that works to see whether you can make it work even better. Put the Puzzle Together with EASE
Using the EASE process: Envision, Analyze, Strategize, and Evaluate, you can create a plan that will help you put the pieces of your law firm puzzle together: Envision what you want create the picture of what youd like the result of the plan to be. Analyze where you are now and ascertain which pieces belong to the your vision and which dont Strategize how youll get from where you are to your vision which part of the puzzle should you work on first? How will you put the pieces together? Evaluate what youve done- determine whether you need to change to make a change, or what the next steps will be. Once you know what the end result is supposed to look like and how you plan to get there, you can concentrate on putting the pieces in place to create your vision. (c) 2007 Allison C.

Gentian Violet for Thrush

By Charlene Nuble What is gentian violet? Gentian violet sounds like something that is very sophisticated but actually it is not. It certainly is not a color but rather gentian violet is just a quite popular treatment for thrush. Thrush occurs because of infections on the skin or mucous membranes inside the mouth and may infect both infants and adults. People at special risk for developing thrush are the following: newborn babies, denture users, adults with diabetes or other metabolic disturbance, people undergoing antibiotic or chemotherapy treatment, drug users, people with poor nutrition and people with an immune deficiency. These people or the people around them, whichever is applicable, should be extra observant so that any signs or symptoms of thrush can be detected and then treated right away otherwise the condition has a chance of worsening. It is a belief of many that gentian violet is the most effective treatment of nipple soreness for breastfeeding mothers. The mothers who have used gentian violet can attest that relief is rapid so meaning it usually works right when you need it meaning as soon as possible but make sure that the dosage is right. To be discussed in the paragraphs to follow are some of the suggestions to people who use and about to use gentian violet for thrush. These next items will indeed be very useful to gentian violet users. Gentian violet can be messy so timing, though not everything in this case, of the application of this treatment is essential. Most mothers prefer to doing the treatment just before they get a good nights sleep because during those house they can keep their nipples exposed thus no need to worry about staining their clothes while the application is in progress. The effect of the gentian violet for thrush is sort of immediate and in most cases thrush is one hundred percent gone by the third day if not then consider applying affected areas for a few more days. If problem persists then it is time to consult your doctor. If baby is irritable while being nurse by a mother who uses gentian violet for thrush then the mother should stop using the gentian violet immediately and then go see a doctor instead for other possible suggestions for the treatment of the thrush. There are other ways to cure thrush but gentian violet is still the one thing that people readily look for when thrush occurs. In this case there is a need to make sure that it is the genuine gentian violet for thrush and not some rip off medicine that you have in hand. This is so because some people are questioning the credibility of gentian violet and some attribute the failed times of gentian violet to fake products that do not have same ingredients as the real gentian violet. These are just some of the things that users of gentian violet for thrush should be aware of. The notes are just easy to remember. It is now possible for you to recall how and why gentian violet should be used for thrush. If unfortunately one day you wake up and discover that you have thrush then you can use the information in this article for your own good. Otherwise you can always provide the information you have read to a very worried mother whose kid has thrush but who knows nothing about gentian violet. ----------------------------------------

Mother Cow Report Card

By Victor Epand In one respect, possibly the best person to do a preliminary assessment of a cow protection program is an accountant, because of his or her training to evaluate performance in terms of names, dates and numbers. These factors reveal a lot about the quality of cow protection, even before the project is visited. Let's evaluate the Mother Cow program by a set of standards (abbreviated here) that I posted a year ago. The point here is not to attack Mother Cow, but rather by revealing positive standards of cow protection to promote the defense of Dharma in all cow protection programs. MONITORING AND RECORDS 1. The entire herd should be counted daily. * Whether Mother Cow follows this standard is unknown, but probably it would not be difficult at least to count the cows still being maintained at Mother Cow. 2. Every cow should have a name. * It appears that all Mother Cow's milking cows have names, but it's worth noting that the website doesn't give names of any calves or bulls. Thus it's harder to know what becomes of them, and less noticeable when they are missing. 3. Records should be kept with the name, sex, date of birth of each cow. When a cow or calf dies, the cause of death and date of death should be recorded. Annual records should be provided to members each year. * Unknown. Website does not specify whether members receive an annual cow census. 4. Calf mortality should be less than 10%. In the absence of proper records, this can be determined retroactively by seeing how many cows have been milking in the last 2-3 years and determining how many of their calves are still alive. * Website indicates over 50 calves born to 22 milking cows - yet Mother Cow states it is protecting only 12 calves. What happened to the other 40 calves? 5. Analyzed by sex, the herd should be approximately 50% cows, 50% bulls or oxen. If there are far more females than males, it's a sign of a discrepancy - either in the organization's incomplete understanding of cow protection, or in substandard protection for bull calves. * Website indicates over 50 calves born to 22 milking cows - yet Mother Cow states that it has only one bull and one ox. Of the total of 70 animals, only 2 males are currently protected by Mother cow (less than 3 percent). The oxen shown in the website's photo don't appear to be from Mother Cow, since all the cows are taurean breeds, but the oxen shown are Indic or Brahmin breed. 6. Any cow who has taken shelter on Krsna's land or in Krsna's temple should never be subsequently sold, traded, given away or killed. * Statistics show that several dozen cows are missing from the herd. We're assured that bull calves are given to a Jain project where they will be "protected for life." Out of site, out of mind. On one hand, if the Jain temple is protecting these cows, why not donate money directly to the Jains? On the other hand, getting rid of unprofitable cows by giving them to others makes Mother Cow's claims of providing life-time protection unconvincing. BREEDING AND AQUIRING COWS 7. No cow should be bred for milk production alone, without plans for the resulting calf. No cow should be bred unless there is a clear and concrete plan for the care of the calf for its entire life, which may be 10-20 years. This means there must be adequate land, adequate funding and adequate trained personnel to care for the resulting calf. * The statement of goals indicates that cows are being bred primarily for milk production: "Our plans for expansion include the purchase of 6 acres of land (in addition to our present 3 acres of land), 40 milk cows." Cows are not being bred to produce working oxen, nor is there any description of training the resulting bull calves, who appear to be simply unwanted offspring. 8. Cows should not be acquired based on sentiment alone. A goshalla should not allow itself to be exploited by those who "donate" animals with mixed motives. * Mother Cow cannot be accused of this flaw. 9. Milking should be a pleasurable experience for the cow. * Milking techniques are unknown. This is generally difficult to assess without being on-site. There seem to be enough cowherds to prevent the necessity of machine milking. 10. Milk production should not be developed primarily as a profit-making venture. "You say we must have a gosala trust, that is our real purpose. krsi-goraksya-vanijyam vaisya karma svabhava-jam, [Bg 18.44]. Where there is agriculture there must be cows. That is our mission: Cow protection and agriculture and if there is excess, trade. This is a no-profit scheme... * It seems clear that this project has been developed primarily as a profit-making venture, which is why most of the calves are missing. It's simply not profitable to keep them. Profit-motive, especially in a competitive capitalist system, always endangers the welfare of cows. (See also my article, "Why Commercial Dairies Can't Stop Killing," Back To Godhead, Vol. 30, No 6, 1996.) TRAINING OF OXEN OR BULLOCKS 11. In general, all bull calves should be trained to work. As Srila Prabhupada stated, "If you do not use the bulls for plowing, one day you will say, let us cut their throats." * Out of 70 animals, it appears that one ox is being trained to work. 12. No ox should be overworked or worked by force only. * Not relevant at this point, since no oxen are working. 13. In general, bull calves should be castrated by the time they are 1 year old, or whatever age is appropriate for that breed. This can be done with minimum discomfort by using a bloodless emasculator or burdizzo, which only pinches the semen tubes to achieve sterilization. * Whether oxen are castrated before being given to the Jains is unknown. SHELTER, GRAZING AND FEED 14. The cows' living conditions should be clean and comfortable. * The 30 animals who have been permitted to remain at Mother Cow appear to have clean facilities. The living conditions of animals donated to the Jain goshalla are unknown. 15. All cows should have adequate shelter. * Again, the 30 animals who remain at Mother Cow seem to have adequate shelter. It is unknown what kind of shelter the other 40 animals have. 16. Adequate fencing should be maintained. * Apparently the fencing is adequate since the goshalla stresses that cows are not permitted to wander the streets eating hazardous garbage. Thus they are also protected from street injuries and from slaughter by rustlers. 17. Cows must be provided sufficient grazing opportunity. And, as stated by Bhismadeva in the Mahabharata, no cow should be kept always tethered. * Grazing opportunities unknown. 18. The program should maintain adequate pasture for animals. Generally the minimum would be at least 1/2 acre (1/4 hectare) per animal, preferably 1 acre per animal. * 30 cows on 3 acres of land means 1/10 acre of land for each animal, probably less, because buildings occupy some land. Mother Cow plans to purchase more land, but indicates land will be for 40 more cows (and presumably their 40 more calves). "Our plans for expansion include the purchase of 6 acres of land (in addition to our present 3 acres of land), 40 milk cows, 2 fully equipped barns..." It appears that to increase profitability of the dairy, conditions will become more crowded, not less crowded. 19. Cows should be sufficiently well fed. * It appears that the 22 milking cows are well fed. The conditions of the animals sent to the Jain goshalla are unknown. 20. Ideally, feed for the cows should be grown on site, not purchased from outside. * Given the small amount of land, most feed must be purchased from outside, but it appears from the photos that some is grown on site. FUNDING AND ACCOUNTING 21. The goshalla should have an accurate and clear method of keeping accounts, and members should be presented with an annual statement of accounts. * It is unknown whether members are presented with an annual statement of accounts. Since the endeavor is set up primarily as a profit-making dairy rather than as a cow protection program, it seems doubtful that the standard of public accounting exists at this stage. 22. Ideally, funds collected for a goshalla or cow protection program should be kept separate from other accounts, such as that of a temple or community facility. Funds should not be invested in any speculative business enterprise. * Unknown. COWHERD TRAINING AND SUPPORT 23. Cowherds should be recognized as important members in the spiritual community. * Whether cowherd are regarded as members of the spiritual community is unknown. The fact that their photos are highlighted on the website seems positive. When cowherds are publicly praised, they take pride in their work. This usually results in better care for the cows. 24. Ideally, the goshalla should maintain a well designed program for training cowherds and ox-power farmers. * Training program for cowherds is unknown, but probably there is some program in place or the facilities would not look as good as they do. It is doubtful that there is a training program for teamsters, since most bull calves are sent away, 25. Cowherds should be facilitated and supported so they can have a decent, if simple, standard of living... Without proper training, facility and care of its cowherds, a cow protection program is threatened by constant turnover of staff and may eventually collapse. * Standard of living and rate of turnover among the cowherds is unknown. MEMBERSHIP AND OUTREACH 26. A goshalla should use its cow protection program as a means of attracting the public to Krsna consciousness. *Difficult to assess at this point. 27. Activities of the cow protection program should be highlighted on community websites and during religious holidays and festivals such as Gaura Purnima, Janmastami, Govardhana Puja and Ratha Yatra. The Deities can be read accounts of the activities of the year, not only how much milk or burfi was produced, but also how many oxen were trained, how much area they plowed, how much wood they hauled, how many bushels of vegetables they produced, etc ? showcasing the offerings of the animals to the Lord. * Unknown. 28. A cow protection program should provide opportunity for members' input and participation. This can be achieved through questionnaires, newsletters, workshops, and pre-festival meetings. * Members are invited to come to the farm, and they exchange letters at Mother Cow's public website. CONCLUSION Though established primarily as a profit-making dairy, Mother Cow displays interest in some aspects cow protection. An informed membership can guide this interest to greater incorporation of the principles of Dharma, especially through proper protection, training and utilization of Father Bull, which will be more in keeping with the practice of Krsna consciousness. Chakra.org is a Vaisnava website designed to encourage the growth of devotion, and foster critical thinking.

Translation and Your International E-Commerce Strategy

By Ivan Vandermerwe Most businesses realize that they are simply a click away from any corner of the globe. Well, actually two if you include the Yahoo! search a potential customer does to access your shopping cart. What most businesses, unfortunately, do not realize though, is that their shopping cart is struggling to make it to the checkout counter. Bill Dunlap, managing director of Global Reach, Inc. notes that "for every $2 million a site is doing in domestic sales, they're leaving another $1 million on the table in international sales if they're not making themselves easily available."

To paraphrase the above, let me draw on a quote from Willy Brandt. The former West German chancellor is reported to have
once said: "If I'm selling to you, I speak your language. If I'm buying, dann muessen Sie Deutsch sprechen (then you must
speak German)."

In economics this is referred to as opportunity cost -the cost of something in terms of an opportunity foregone. The opportunity cost of not speaking "German" is a whopping 50%! This simple truth is supported by statistics.

Donald A. DePalma reported in a study conducted for Forrester Research that "Visitors linger twice as long as they do at
English-only URLs; business buyers are three times more likely to buy if addressed in their own language; and
customer service costs drop when instructions are displayed in the users language." (Donald A. DePalma, Strategies for Global
Sites, 1998).

Another Forrester Research report, quoted in an article titled "Reasons for Success in International E-Commerce" (webpronews.com) provides statistics that indicate "over 55% of the online world accesses the Internet from countries where English is not the native language."

The message is loud and clear: Do not assume that there is no reason to translate your marketing materials or that
English is used in other countries! To be sure, English is the lingua franca of the world, and many people do have the ability to read English. But, faced with a choice, would you pull out your wallet for a company that caters to your needs in your non-native language, or your native language?

If translation is not part of your international e-commerce strategy, then you may be leaving money on the table!

And, if you see the truth in this message, you have a couple of options available: you can develop an in-house translation
capability, or you can commission a professional translation service to translate your marketing materials. Developing an in-house translation capability is prohibitively expensive, not to mention that it is a long term effort. An appropriate analogy to illustrate this point is that of an IT department.

Buying translation, however, can be overwhelming with all the technical jargon, and frustrating with all the endless marketing hype and "mission statements" that are thrown at you. Fact is, the basics of purchasing translation are easy. Read on.

Your starting point should be the clarification of your translation project requirements. Consider:


Whether your marketing materials are for internal consumption (including partners) or external consumption?


Whether cost is more important or quality is more important?


What is the time frame for your project?


What are your ongoing (long-term) professional translation service needs?


By clarifying project requirements, you are establishing the framework to answer the 2 most important questions that will determine the success of your translation project. Namely, what is the right type of translation, and what is the right professional translation service for your translation project?

There are two types of translation:

Machine translation (MT)
Human translation

In machine translation, a human translator supports the machine. In other words, a computer program translates the source text (i.e. the "from" language), with the resultant target text (i.e. the "to" language) then being edited by a qualified human translator, if it is edited at all. Machine translation (MT) is employed for "gisting" or, to get the general meaning (gist) of a document which can be useful when marketing material is only for internal consumption.

Is machine translation right for your marketing materials? "Free online translations, is, well...free-the cost is right, but can you live with the quality?" is a short, informative works on machine translation (MT). Read it before continuing.

Consider this recent headline from the Yahoo! Odd News section (2005-07-05)-"The Wurst museum in the world?" You guessed it-it is not a bad museum but one dedicated to...German sausages! If your marketing materials are rich and descriptive, and for external consumption, then machine translation (MT) is not an option.

Commission a professional translation service, and put human translators to work on your marketing materials.

Selecting the right professional translation service can be just as frustrating as selecting the right type of translation for your project. Do you go with a professional translation service provided by a translation company, a translation agency or a free-lance translator?

Review the requirements of your translation project. Now ask yourself "What is the right professional translation service?"

"Free Online Translations Guide-Professional Translation Service" provides a check list that is helpful in determining what translation service should be entrusted with your marketing materials. While the list is not exhaustive, it will guarantee that you get the most value for your investment in translation in terms of cost and quality.

Establishing a criteria list provided the basis for determining what the right type of translation, and what the right professional translation service, is for your translation project. Now, before you hit the search engines, guarantee the success of your translation project by taking a few more minutes to truly prepare (peace of mind; priceless!). Read "Buying Online Translations Tips and Techniques."

And that is it-it is that simple! Translating marketing materials will ensure that your international e-commerce strategy speaks "German," will ensure that your shopping cart makes it to the checkout counter, and will ensure that no money is left on the table. About the Author:

Mobile Phones- Compare Before You Buy

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Fletcher_Mak]Fletcher Mak The latest addiction that has engulfed the human race is mobile phones. Termed as necessary evil, they have made our lives much easier and better connected. Take them anywhere and you will remain connected to the world. Observing the craze for this device, the mobile phone industry is evolving in an exponential manner. The technology of mobile phones is getting better everyday and competition has increased. Consequently, the focus of manufacturers has now shifted on the marketing and sales promotions of mobile phones and the target users. In the business world, the consumer is termed as the king and there are a lot of overt benefits that they seem to enjoy amidst the fierce competition that is faced by the various mobile phone manufactures. By virtue of the trend that has come up in the form of contract mobile phones, the consumer has all the choice in availing the enormous benefits that are showered by the network service providers. There is a wide variety in the mobile phone deals that a consumer can choose from depending upon his need and requirements. The consumers should realize the importance of comparison in such scenario. The comparison enables a user to compare mobile phones going by their manufacturers, prices and specifications. Taking about the Internet marketing, there are quite a few online mobile phone shops that provide you comparison and the tariff of your choice. Many times you even get the handset for free along with added incentives like Cashback, holiday trips, i-Pod and so on. However, the service providers are here to earn business and profits (in a subtle manner though), so you must be careful in your understanding of the mobile phone deal in order to avail the best incentives offered by the service providers.
So, next time whenever you choose your mobile phone, don't forget the comparison part. And you will be able to find the best deal for you!!

College Health - Teen Health And Teen Fitness - High School Workouts VS Effective Workouts

By Matt Elder Its funny what happens to gyms across the country around 2:30 to about 4. This is when the typical housewife leaves the gym and the typical high school (or college) student comes in to workout. They arent concerned with teen fitness, teen health or college health. They are much more concerned with other things. If teens today cared about teen health and teen fitness, they might get better results at the gym, look better, feel better, etc. But they arent concerned with teen health. They are concerned with how they look and the numbers they put up. College students and high school students (males and females, unfortunately.each have their own specific flaws) come to the gym typically for social/ego purposes. (Before you bombard me with messages about how you are concerned with teen health and teen fitness, let me say I am generalizing after years and years in the gym). Males at the gym not concerned with teen fitness: Its a numbers game, not a teen heath game. By that I mean they throw on three plates on each side to squat, bend their knees three inches, and stand up. BOOM. They can now go to the locker room and say they squatted 315. Not exactly teen fitness. Females at the gym: social hour, not teen health or college health. Either its boy hunting, or talking amongst yourselves between sets. College health is not about chit chatting.
Teen health is not about squatting large numbers.
Teen fitness is not about socializing. Now, don't get me wrong, teen health and teen fitness can be accomplished in a social atmosphere. But college health and teen health needs good workouts also. College health is a major problem with buffets and Jack Daniels, and college health will not improve while soroiety sisters talk. Teen fitness and teen health is about good, hard workouts.
College health is about simple lifestyle changes. Teen health, teen fitness and college health can easily be accomplished with small workout and life changes. College health is key to living a healthy life in 30 years. Teen health and teen fitness is vital to starting off your life healthy. Quick tips to improve teen health and college health:
-Shorten, but intensify your workouts.
-Talk less, lift more
-Lift weights to lose weight (very important to teen fitness and college health)
-Have fun! Teen health, college health and teen fitness is easy and fun! Get fit, stay fit, live longer and live happier!

Circumcised or Uncircumcised?

By Mellody Davis When the Bible speak of circumcision, what does it really mean? Some say its the cutting of ones private part of the body, some say its the matter of the heart. We must first understand that there are two very important facts surrounding this subject. One is that in the Old Testament men were under the law, and now in the New Testament men are under the Grace of God. Lets see what the Bible say about being circumcised. Lets start with the book of Genesis 17:9 it says Then God said to Abraham, As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your
descendants after you for the generations to come. This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep; Every male among you shall be circumcised. Look at what the book of Romans 4:11 tell us it says And he (Abraham) received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised , so then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised. Now look at Galatians 3:6 it says Consider Abraham; He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. Look at Galatians 3:10 it says All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written; Curse is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law. Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, The righteous will live by faith. The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, The man who does these things will live by them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written; Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree. He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Look at 1Corinthians 7:19 it says Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping Gods commands is what counts. Each one should remain in the situation which he was in when God called him. Now look at Romans 2:29 it says No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a mans praise is not from men, but from God. Look at Colossians 3:9 it says Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircmcised, or barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. In closing look at Galatians 2:15 it says We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too have put our faith in Christ Jesus that may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified. Now look at Hebrews 10:35 it says So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will received what he has promised. For in just a very little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him. But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. Love Always,
Your Sister in Christ,

Direct Response Marketing vs. Traditional Image Marketing: Which Is Better?

By Michael D. Black There are many different kinds of marketing out there, but the one you are probably most familiar with image branding. Typically when I say marketing people think of expensive Super Bowl ads, car commercials, and billboards. This is what is known as image branding one of the most common (and ineffective) forms of marketing. Now dont get me wrong, image branding works for major corporations like Coca-Cola & McDonalds. And if you have millions of dollars and decades of time, it will work for you too. Unfortunately, if you are like most, you dont have the same resources and time as those big corporations. Most image branding simply states the company name, location, etc, with a logo and a catchy slogan. None of these are compelling reasons to do business with them versus anyone or everyone else. This type of advertising doesnt make a case for the products or services that you sell, and it certainly doesnt direct the prospect to any intelligent buying decision. On the other hand, direct response marketing is designed to get an immediate response or purchasing decision (sale!) from the prospect. It has often been described as salesmanship in print, and it focuses on getting dollars right now not a decade down the road. Direct response marketing tells a complete story presenting facts or reasons why the company / product are superior to all others. It gives your prospects a reason to get up and contact you, as opposed to waiting until they need your service or product and hoping that they might remember your name. Direct response includes benefits that are relevant to the prospect, and produces a sales message that helps your prospect to either solve a problem or avoid a loss. These are the real reasons why people will choose your product or service, not because you have ads printed on glossy paper. And best of all unlike image branding direct response marketing is trackable so you can find out exactly how much each marketing dollar is earning you. When placed side by side there are many differences between image branding ads and direct response ads. Typically a direct response ad will have lots of words, usually in small print, with: 1. A Headline At The Top (to draw the reader in), 2. it lists meaningful specifics, not vague generalities, 3. a promise or guarantee, 4. at least one offer, 5. exact instructions on what to do next, and 6. an extra reason to act right away. Now, open any magazine or newspaper that you have handy and you will see that almost none of the ads have these features. They all look pretty much the same with empty white space and glossy pictures with no headlines and very few words. This is how you will set yourself apart from your competition. By the way, some people actually think that people will not read ads that have lots of words in small print. However, the opposite is true: people want as much information as possible before giving someone their money. You will find that the more information you give your prospect, the better chance that they will respond. That is why all of that white space in ads is such a waste of money. Direct Response Marketing, compared to image-branding, is the clear winner hands down. Put simply direct response marketing is designed to put money in your pocket this very moment, while image based / traditional / institutional marketing is designed to make you money over time; plus it costs you a lot of money in the meanwhile. Unless you have large sums of money and time you shouldnt attempt any image-branding, instead stick with results-driven advertising that provides a trackable return on investment.

Benefits of Payday Loans

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Philip_Nicosia]Philip Nicosia It happens to everybody: a week before payday, your roof starts to leak, your computer crashes and the technician tells you that its cheaper to buy a new one than to have it repaired, or a friend invites you to join her for a weekend vacation at a hotel with a limited promo. These are the financial emergencies that you cant quite factor into your budget. You can afford to pay for it, you just dont have the money with you right now and for one reason or another, you cant use a credit card. One option available to you is a payday loan. Payday loans are short-term loans where you are lent a small amount to tide you over until your salary comes in. Many payday loan companies can be found on the Internet (allowing for a quick search, for that quick solution to an urgent problem). These companies, in turn, will be the one to find the lending institutions that can spot you for that amount. Your application will be processed within days, and when you need it, the money appears in your account, ready to be spent as you wished. They simply withdraw the money from the bank account, with interest, when your salary comes in. When should you get a payday loan? 1. When the purposes of your loan may not be accepted by other lending institutions. One advantage of a payday loan is that you can use it for whatever purposes you like; you do not need to justify your expense. Whether its a vacation to France, a new laptop, or your daughters tuition fees, you do not have to go through the lengthy and often stringent evaluation process that other lending institutions demand. Try telling a bank officer that you always wanted to see Paris. You wont get very far. When you take a payday loan, you dont even have to explain. 2. When you need the money very quickly. Another advantage is that it is very quickly processed, you have the money in days ,whereas most lending institutions will take days just to look at your application. If you process the payday loan on a Monday, youll get it before the end of the week. If you turn it in on a Friday, you may have to wait a little longer because of the non-banking holidays, but its still going to move much faster than if you had applied for an advance at your office. 3. When you have credit card problems. Ironically, its the people who need money most who have a hard time borrowing it. But not everyone is so financially secure that you had a gold credit card to charge all emergencies. You may be struggling with maxed out credit cards, but then your car breaks down, or your child gets sick. In this situation, payday loans may be your only solution. At least you know its available. 4. When you want a short-term debt. And since the amount you borrow is paid back to your creditor by the very next payday, you arent tempted to sit on the debt as you would if you had used your credit card (or borrowed from your mother).. In a way, it is a good solution for those who wouldve paid for that emergency in cash, except for a small logistical problem of when your pay check is released.

No Lawyer is Above the Law 10 Tips on Suing Errant Lawyers

By Aaron Brooks A lawyer is not god or above the reach of the law. Most countries including the US have laws that declare that lawyers are accountable for the actions they take and as a professional every lawyer must behave professionally, responsibly, and ethically. Often the lawyer you hire may not be ethical or squeaky clean, in this case you can protect yourself from legal malpractices by suing your lawyer. Before you file a suit you need to know that you are well within your rights to sue your lawyer. Lawyers can be sued for malpractice, misrepresentation, inappropriate billing, negligence, breach of fiduciary duties, and breach of contract among many other instances. To sue a lawyer you need to establish clearly that the lawyer had wronged you. The court needs to know in no uncertain terms that the lawyer let you down on a case you would have otherwise won. Suing a lawyer has to be done quickly, find out from your state bar association or court what the time limit is. Suing a lawyer is expensive so before you take the final step you should try: meeting your lawyer and laying the cards on the table, try and solve matters; complaint to the local Bar Association; or seek arbitration to resolve the dispute. If nothing works and you are confident of the strength of your case go ahead and sue the lawyer. To effectively sue your lawyer you must: 1. Keep immaculate records of your case, contract with him, and all meetings, phone calls, and so on. The documentation must be airtight. 2. Prove beyond doubt how much the case has cost you in terms of legal fees and other expenses. 3. Establish clearly that the lawyer did not act properly, dereliction of duty. 4. Prove breach of duty and negligence. 5. Have proof that the lawyers lack of interest and misrepresentation hurt you financially. 6. Have documentation showing how the case proceeded and where the lawyer slipped. 7. Keep documentations of unreturned calls, canceled meetings, and non-appearance at hearings. 8. Show that the lawyer let your case gather dust while he focused on other clients in spite of your many reminders or urgings. That for the lawyer your case held no commitment or interest. 9. Establish that after agreeing to handle your case personally the lawyer left the case work to an assistant or junior. 10. Have proof that the lawyer has misappropriated your funds, over billed you, or settled the case on your behalf with vested interest in the opponent. Malpractice and law are related and sadly many lawyers forget the wows they took and practice law that is unethical and unlawful Every citizen has the right to justice and so when you have enough evidence to sue the lawyer you must first find a lawyer who will agree to file a suit against your lawyer. Always take a second opinion from a lawyer who is unknown to your lawyer and unrelated to the case that you are fighting. Suing a lawyer means high expenses as even lawyers who handle cases of suing errant lawyers charge exorbitant fees. Read up extensively on suing a lawyer and refer to different cases to determine how successful you are likely to be. Weigh the pros and cons before you take a final decision.

Calling All Kids - Cell Phones For You

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Robin_Meyer]Robin Meyer Cell phones arent just for adults anymore. Cell phones exist for kids that are simple, sturdy and look like toys. Other phones look like regular cell phones, but have features that appeal to kids. Maybe most important though, these phones have features that appeal to parents. Phones With Parent Appeal Parents everywhere have reasons to buy cell phones for their kids. Maybe your youngster has been begging you for a phone after seeing that all their friends have them. They might even make the case that they need one to stay in touch with you or contact you in an emergency. Parents imagine a big mess: huge phone bills and strange numbers on the phone. Yet, many parents are finding ways to get around steep phone bills and unnecessary conversations. Some companies make phones specifically designed for kids with features parents will love. Here are four popular types of cell phones for kids today with built-in features parents appreciate. Disney Mobile Allows parents to set monthly spending limits for their childrens phones through the phone or the computer. Once a child reaches the limits, they are still allowed to make and receive calls to designated numbers and can still get through to 911. Parents are alerted once a child reaches their limits and may raise them. Parents can program the days and times during the week when children can use the phone and can track the location of the phone from their own phone or computer. Parents can also enter phone numbers that their children can never access. Firefly phone Using a parental pin, parents can add up to 20 numbers. The call screening feature on the phone rejects calls not stored in the Phone Book. TicTalk phone Parents can visit MyTicTalk.com to set controls on the phone. Controls include entering phone numbers that can be called anytime, calling numbers that only can be called during permission-based times which parents set, selecting what times phones can ring, sending your child a reminder, and choosing which features to enable or disable. And whats better than a phone that encourages learning? Kids can earn extra minute rewards on TicTalk phones for playing LeapFrog learning games on their phone. Verizon Migo The phone comes with an optional Chaperon service, where parents can track the phone in real time on their own phone or computer. Parents can pay an additional charge to set boundaries for their child; for instance, if their kids leave a designated area, parents will get a text message sent to their phones. A phone for kids is worthless though if your child wont use it. Lets take a look at each of the above phones and why your kids might like their features. Heres more information on these phones specifically designed for kids. Disney Mobile, a phone specifically designed for 10-15 year olds includes custom text messaging as well as preset text messaging choices such as Can U Get A Ride? Kids can connect to Radio Disney as well as download wallpaper, graphics, and ringtones from Disney. TicTalk phones allow kids to record their own ringtones and download photos. A calendar and to-do list are also available on the TicTalk phone. But what good are lots of cool features if they are too complicated for your kids to use? Simplicity is particularly key on the Firefly and Verizon Migo phones, which are designed for younger children. The Firefly simplifies things with only five keys. The Verizon Migo, designed for kids between five and nine years old, has five speed dial buttons on the front that parents can program for their kids. Service Plan Options Interested to know how much these phones cost? In most cases, the phones themselves are more expensive than regular cell phones. Customers sign contracts with Disney but the service is actually on Sprints network. Interested customers can visit DisneyMobile.com. The Disney service works with LG phones ($110 each) and Pantech phones ($60 each). Subscribers to the Disney service buy two or more phones. One person with the parent phone becomes the family manager and sets monthly spending allowances for the child phone by accessing the Family Center menu on the phone. The monthly family phone plan with two lines and 450 daytime minutes starts at $59.99. TicTalk phones can be purchased online at [http://www.enfora.com/ ]http://www.enfora.com Rate plans are prepaid according to phone minutes. For example, $25 for 100 airtime minutes. A Firefly phone costs $79.99 and includes a travel charger, backpack clip, and 30 minutes of airtime. Firefly has a monthly package starting at $9.99 and a pay-as-you-go $.25 per minute package that requires a minimum of $25. Both can be cancelled at any time. The Verizon Migo phone costs about $120 and calling plans vary. Parents should check out these phones and plans if considering a wireless device for their young children. Kids will probably find the phones easier to use than standard cell phones and parents have the control and peace of mind that they desire.

Get More Focused and Get More Business

By Stephanie Ward As a business owner, youve got a lot going on. Sometimes its hard to know what your top priorities are and where to put your focus. And since there are only so many minutes in a day, you need to find the best way to utilize your time so you can grow your business. Figuring out what your priorities are, and then focusing on them, will require an investment of time. I know, you dont have any extra time and thats the whole problem. The fact is, nothing will change until you decide to do things differently. If you keep going the way you have been, youll stay lost about what is most important to your business and therefore wont be able to focus your efforts. You see, you do have a choice about how you spend your time. You can make the decision to use your time to think about what is most important for your business (prioritizing) and then choose to devote your time (focus) on those things. Stephen Covey made a good point when he said, The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities. Theres no time like the present, ready to get started? Why not stop what you are doing right now and identify your business goals. Focus on goals that are connected to the profitability of your business, goals that are close to the money. Talking through your thoughts is a great way to get begin. You can do this by writing down your thought process, talking out loud to yourself, or better yet talking it through with someone you trust. Once youve written down all of your business goals, prioritize your list with the intention of selecting the top three goals. Next to each of your top three goals, write down the things you are doing to reach every goal and how much time you are spending actually focused on those things. Sounds simple, I know, and sometimes we make things more complicated than they need to be. Keep this list somewhere you can see it. Better yet, memorize it. Start a new habit of stopping to think before you begin doing something and ask yourself this question: Will this action move me closer to my business goals? Heres another way to think about priorities and focus from Tony Robbins, It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny. The point is this, the more time you invest in analyzing what the most important activities are for your business and then planning how you will focus on them - the more profitable your business will be!

Using Electroconvulsive Therapy To Treat Bipolar Disorder � What Is It Really All About?

By Moses Wright Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), also known as electroshock therapy, is a controversial medical treatment that induces a seizure by passing electricity through the patients brain. ECT was a common psychiatric treatment until the late 20th century, when it fell into disuse as better drug therapies became readily available for more psychiatric conditions. It is now reserved for severe cases of depression in such illnesses as major depression and the depression associated with bipolar disorder. It can also be used to treat a manic episode. It is believed that ECT works by using an electrical shock to cause a seizure (a short period of irregular brain activity). ECT may be given during an inpatient stay, or just for outpatient quick treatment. ECT is given up to three times a week. Usually no more than twelve treatments are needed. Treatment is given by a psychiatrist. This seizure releases many chemicals in the brain. These chemicals, called neurotransmitters, deliver messages from one brain cell to another. The release of these chemicals makes the brain cells work better. A person's mood will improve when his or her brain cells and chemical messengers work better. In electroconvulsive therapy, an electric current is sent through the scalp to the brain. ECT is one of the fastest ways to relieve symptoms in people who suffer from mania or severe depression. ECT is generally used as a last resort when the illness does not respond to medication or therapy. It can be used when a patient cannot take medication, such as during pregnancy. It is also used when patients pose a severe threat to themselves or others and it is dangerous to wait until medication takes effect. Prior to an ECT treatment, the patient is given a muscle relaxant and put under general anesthesia. ECT, when done correctly, will cause the patient to have a seizure, and the muscle relaxant is given to limit the size of the episode. Electrodes are placed on the patients scalp and a finely controlled electric current is applied that causes a brief seizure in the brain. Because the muscles are relaxed, the seizure will usually be limited to slight movement of the hands and feet. Patients are carefully monitored during the treatment. The patient awakens minutes later and does not remember the treatment or events surrounding the treatment. Side effects may result from the anesthesia, the ECT treatment or both. Temporary short-term memory loss can be one of the side effects; this memory loss usually goes away one to two weeks after treatment. Some people may have longer-lasting problems with memory after ECT. General side effects like confusion, nausea, headache, and jaw pain are also common. These side effects may last up to several days after the procedure. In extremely rare cases, ECT can cause heart attack, stroke, or death. People with certain heart problems usually are not good candidates for ECT. While the majority of psychiatrists believe that properly administered ECT is a safe and effective treatment for some conditions, a vocal minority of psychiatrists, former patients, antipsychiatry activists, and others strongly criticize the procedure as extremely harmful to patients' subsequent mental state. In the early days of use, ECT was administered without anaesthesia or muscle relaxants. Patients were frequently injured as a side effect of the induced seizure. ECT has been commonly misused in the past, sometimes as a punishment for patients hospitalized in mental institutions. ECT was sometimes abused by unethical mental health professionals as a means of punishing and controlling unruly or uncooperative patients. Many people came to view ECT unfavorably after negative depictions of it in several books and films. The use of ECT is still a controversial. Moses Wright is the founder of Bipolar Disorder.

Best Fitness-Weight Loss Program

By Steve Stamos Weight Loss is the process of reducing body weight. This is basically a simple concept; you need to burn more calories than you consume and since the formula is so simple, it should be easy - right? The short answer is that for many people this is a chronic endeavor and the road to weight loss is often full of hills and curves. It is something that many people struggle with every day. This is a task that requires a conscious, intentional effort and never "fun and easy" as claimed. Weight loss is one of those topics that have been written and talked about time and time again. In order of risk and difficulty just short of quitting smoking, weight loss is probably the most significant factor determining the quality of your life and health. It is often treated as a "quick fix" or short-term goal. Successful long term goals are incredibly difficult for most people to achieve when they feel like they are depriving themselves. The only way to accomplish it is to be educated and find the perfect program that does not revolve around fads. Experts agree that the winning formula is the adoption of diet and exercise habits that you can maintain for the long term. This can only be achieved by controlling your calorie intake and increasing the number of calories you burn through physical activity. It must be understood however, that effective weight loss is a gradual process in learning how-one reduces weight and keeps it off. To take slow but consistent steps is better than a rapid weight loss as it is very unhealthy and dieters that are serious about slimming down should always opt for a healthy weight reduction instead. The first step needed is to adapt to new eating and exercise habits and to not rely on diet drugs. Such a method of is typically the best and safest way to go. Healthy eating and a fitness program for weight loss are all about motivation, balance, and flexibility. It shouldn't be about suffering or deprivation. Successful weight loss is not just a matter of losing kilos. Healthy weight loss is really an attempt to reduce excess body fat. Weight loss is easy to achieve, but fat loss is more difficult. To determine whether weight loss is due to fat, various methods of measuring body fat percentage have been developed. Selecting a program for the proper combinations of foods and exercise requires planning and a firm understanding of the principles on which the weight loss is based; Low-glycemic weight loss occurs over time but it is longer lasting. However, it seems that slow and gradual weight loss is not as appealing as the quick loss promoted in many of the fad diets, but it is more effective. There are many fitness weightloss programs that are specially designed to suit different requirements. You must start your Program with Believing You Can Do It. Fitness weightloss programs follow the principle that exercise is the first key to effective weight loss. You must, however, be willing to incorporate a meal plan to help you lose not just access kilos but most importantly fat. A scale doesn't always tell you everything you need to know. Fitness weightloss programs and exercise systems have the additional bonus that can help you get fit and stay fit. In conclusion, Reality is that reducing weight in a healthy way and learning how to keep it off for years is not easy. Setting a weight reduction goal means nothing if you can't keep yourself motivated to reach it. The only way to achieve it is to be educated your self and finds the perfect fitness weightloss program that does not revolve around any fads. Steve Stamos has been working in the health field, for almost 20 years. He is an Internet author and writes informative material on health. He personally knows the degree of difficulty in adopting habits that can be maintained for the long term. He has looked and tried several weight loss programs but it is just one, to his opinion, that has passed the effectiveness test.

Halloween Dangers - Keeping Your Pet Safe

By Carol Stack Halloween is around the corner. While you and your kids are enjoying the fun of trick-or-treating and Halloween parties keep in mind that it can be a dangerous time for your pets. One danger is that your pet will get into the candy bowl. Chocolate in any form is dangerous for dogs and cats. As if the candy wasn't dangerous enough, there's also the concern that your beloved pet will swallow the candy wrapper. The wrapper, if it makes it down to the stomach, can cause blockage in the intestines, leading to either very expensive surgery or death. If you suspect your pet has swallowed any dangerous substance call your vet immediately. The death of a pet is always a terrible thing to experience, but it's even worse if it could have been prevented. What about pumpkins and decorative corn? Are these harmful to pets? These items are relatively nontoxic but could produce stomach upset if swallowed. If large pieces are swallowed then the intestines could become blocked. Electrical wires from decorations such as electric lights or glowing pumpkins can also be a hazard for your pet. Be sure to keep them out of your pet's reach so they don't receive a life-threatening shock. All decorations need to be kept out of your pet's reach. If your dog or cat chews a glass or plastic decoration they could damage their mouth. If it is swallowed, it can do terrible damage to the stomach and intestines. A carved pumpkin is fairly harmless, but if you add a candle it suddenly becomes a hazard. A cat or dog could easily knock it over, causing a fire that could take the life of family members and pets. Curious kittens are especially at risk for getting burned or singed from candle flames. Another Halloween favorite is dressing up in costumes. Children and even adults have a lot of fun pretending to be someone or something else. This has carried over to pets, too, and some dogs and cats truly do enjoy dressing up. If your pets are among those that enjoy it just make sure the Halloween costume does not constrict their movement or their ability to see or breath. Dogs in costume should also be free to bark. Be sure there are no dangling pieces that your pet could easily chew off and choke on. For those pets that do not enjoy it, dressing up in a costume can cause unnecessary stress. So follow your pet's lead regarding this part of Halloween fun. During the time children are coming around to your home ringing the doorbell and shouting "trick or treat" be sure to keep your dogs and cats in a separate room. The extra traffic can frighten them and cause stress for your dog or cat. If your pets are with you as you answer the door, be sure they do not rush outside. That is another good reason to keep them safely locked up in another room. That leads into the last two warnings about the Halloween season. Be sure to keep your cats locked inside, even if they are used to being outside. Too many cats have been the victims of pranks around Halloween. Sadly, many do not survive the pranks. Lastly, make sure that your pet has an ID tag just in case they do sneak outside as you open the door to trick-or-treaters. An ID tag is something your pet should have on at all times so if they somehow get lost you will have a much better chance of having them returned to you. Following these tips will help your pet have a happy and safe Halloween. Carol Stack enjoys writing articles about dogs.

Is It Marketing or Advertising- Tips for Massage Therapists

By Cherisa Chapa Brand building requires an understanding of the industry terms: marketing and advertising. The two terms may seem to mean the same; however, they are not. Marketing is defined as a business function that guides how the needs of the customer are recognized, anticipated, and satisfied. You create a brand (an effective marketing image) by knowing what your customers want, what makes them care about products such as yours, what causes them to take notice your product and commit them to memory, and what makes them choose the products that they do. In order to develop your marketing strategy, you will collect this information during your marketing phase that will help you to create advertising strategies that will connect your products to that customer. Advertising is what is used to attract public attention to a specific brand or product to encourage the customer to purchase it. Many media outlets that are common to massage therapists are printed flyers, business cards, newspaper ads, posters, and word-of-mouth referrals. However, there are more options that can be used such as billboards, radio, cinema ads, television ads, web banners, magazines, and posters - basically anywhere someone pays to deliver their message. Primary Components: Asking Yourself the Right Questions At the barest level of marketing, there are generally three components answered within any particular business organization. These could be specific tasks assigned to an employee within the marketing or other related department. But, obviously, if you are seeking to develop your own brand, you are the one responsible to handle that particular marketing aspect for your business. If you have created a business plan, which you should have, you may have already decided what specific avenue of a massage therapy you want to practice. It should be more specific than providing massage therapy services to a variety of individuals through out-calls, home-office, or through another arrangement. If you haven't decided, it will be harder to know what value you offer to your customers. Knowing what specific practice you want to offer, will also help you to identify what opportunities, if any, that you should pursue. How do you recognize an opportunity? By pursuing this particular opportunity, is it within your brand's image to pursue this opportunity? Without knowing what value you offer, these questions will be next to impossible to consider. You will also need to understand "how am I going to compete against the competition?" Research your competition. Learn what media formats your competition utilizes, to whom do they advertise, what is the public perception of their brand or image, and how they deliver on their brand promises. There is only one possible way to learn all that you need to about your competition and that is to research every aspect of their business. Become their customer, at least once. Take note of their customer service, what products (specifically their services and retail products) they offer, what image do they convey and how it was received by their clients. Collect their advertisements, business cards, and brochures. If they have a web site, review it. Identify what is their unique value and why that makes them different from you. Lastly, you will need to know how to create and keep your customers. By identifying that brand value, you will then be able to identify who your true customers are, generally referred to as your target market segment, and what advertising efforts that will be the most effective in order to attract and retain your customers.

Business Cell Phone Plans

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Max_Bellamy]Max Bellamy Business people have different requirements regarding their cell phone usage compared to individual users. They need to make more calls, and their call durations are long. Business people also have to travel to other states or even other countries. They will, therefore, be on roaming mode frequently. Roaming costs a handsome sum. Besides, in a marketing kind of setup where a lot of people in the same company have to be constantly in touch with each other, it is foolhardy to go in for an individual cell phone plan when a lot of business cell phone plans are available. As with other plans, the first step toward taking a business cell phone plan is to find out one's exact needs. Doing this will ensure that a company or a business person saves thousands of dollars. In case of a business cell phone plan for all the employees of the company, it can actually end up saving millions of dollars annually for the company, depending upon the number of employees. One should first check out the offers from each cell phone company and negotiate with them. Often, though it seems that the business cell phone plan being sold by the corporations are fixed, there is room for negotiation. If a representative of the company sees that you have the potential of generating a lot of money every month, he or she may be willing to forgo a bit of the cellular company's profit to give you a good discount. In most business cell phone plans there are considerable savings to be had if one orders phones in bulk from the company. This can save thousands of dollars for you, depending on the number of connections required. Regarding the cost of call minutes, one can go in for a commitment of thousands of call minutes with the cell phone operator. This will save money in the long term because the cell phone company will offer a discounted rate. Then there are also the roaming charges to contend with. Business people who travel often will need to be on roaming a lot. Having a good plan for roaming will also ensure significant savings. Before one chooses a plan, one has to check the factors mentioned above on a comparative basis to get the best possible business cell phone deal.

No Credit Check Cash Loans

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kristy_Annely]Kristy Annely In no credit check cash loans, a credit may be either revocable or irrevocable. The credit should therefore clearly indicate whether it is revocable or irrevocable. A revocable credit is one which can be cancelled or amended by the issuing bank at any time without prior notice to the beneficiary. The cancellation, or amendment, takes effect against the bank that has negotiated bills under the credit only on receipt of notice of such cancellation. The issuing is liable for bills negotiated conforming to the terms and conditions of the credit before the notice of revocation is received by the negotiating bank. A revocable credit may be amended or cancelled by the issuing bank at any moment and without prior notice to the beneficiary. However, the issuing bank is bound to reimburse another bank with which a revocable credit has been made available for sight payment, acceptance or negotiation- for such payment, acceptance or negotiation made by the bank prior to receipt by it of notice of amendment or cancellation, against documents which appear on their face to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit. Also, the issuing bank is bound to reimburse another bank with which a revocable credit has been made available for deferred payment, if such a bank has, prior to receipt by it of notice of amendment or cancellation, taken up documents which appear on their face to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit. Since there is no definite undertaking by the issuing bank in a revocable credit, there is not much of a benefit under the credit to the individual. If the credit is advised to him by the opening bank direct, it may be cancelled by the issuing bank at any time, without prior notice.

Summer Youth Camps Pack A Lot Of Fun

By Candice Sabrina Remember those long, hot days of summer vacation without much to do? Hanging out with friends was a blast for a while, but before too long, things got a little boring. Why have your kids endure the same monotony when summer youth camps can pack in the fun? Today's summer youth camps offer a lot more excitement than they did in the past. These camps aren't just for fishing, hiking, boating and team volleyball anymore. The reality is the number of specialty camps for youth is on the rise. There's something out there for just about anyone to enjoy. Summer camps offer two basic overall styles, but are broken down into special interests from there. The main styles for these camps are: * Overnight. Whether these camp run for a week, two weeks or the entire summer, these venues are a little more costly because they provide around-the-clock care. In addition, they tend to offer an array of activities for youth, as well. These camps are favored by many for their ability to let kids get away from it all while giving mom and dad a bit of a break, too. * Day camps. These camps offer daytime programming only. They tend to run in weekly or two-week increments, but can also span an entire summer. The fees for these camps are a little more in reach for most, generally. The perk with these is that kids return home every night ready to share their stories of adventure and often learning. While most summer youth camps follow the above patterns for overall style, they come in a variety of special interests. This means just about any child is likely to find there is a camp out there that is ideal. Some of the options for these types of camps include: * Wilderness. These are the camps many remember from their youth. Set up in cabins or even with tents, this type of setting is designed to help kids get back to nature, while having some fun and adventure along the way. * Band. Designed to help youth further their musical abilities, these camps tend to offer pretty focused study on instruments, but they also provide some of the fun of wilderness camps, or can. * Arts camps. Similar to the band camp format, these venues will focus in on visual or performing arts. Many offer a lot of the outdoors fun of regular summer camps, as well. * Sports camps. Athletes looking to hone their skills will find there are a variety of these available. Whether they're for field hockey, football or track and field, these camps will either focus in on one particular sport, or they will offer a variety for participants to choose from. * Church, community. These camps are typically hosted right in a child's own hometown. They can follow an overnight or daytime only format. Activities here range from organized sports and field trips to even religious lessons (in the case of church camps), swimming, hiking and more. Summer youth camps are not one-size-fits-all propositions any more. There are camps out there to meet just about any personal need or taste. Still looking for the perfect summer camp?

Tips On Creating Unique Scrapbook Titles For Your Scrapbook Pages

By Vera Raposo The first step in creating your scrapbook pages is to organize your photos and journal notes so that you can create your pages in a chronological order. After you have all the necessary items in place, it is time to create a title for your scrapbook and the individual pages. Titles for your scrapbook do not need to be poetic works of art, just something that will give an overall picture of the items that are to be included. Scrapbooks that revolve around children and family are among the more popular themes. In creating titles, you can choose humorous phrases, sentimental thoughts, or denote the special occasion in which the scrapbook is based. The date and place of a birthday or anniversary party can be used in your titles as can the name and date of birth of the person in which the scrapbook is dedicated. Company logos, family crests, and the names of teams or groups can be incorporated into your title as well. In addition to finding the exact words you wish to use in your titles, be creative in the way you put these words in your scrapbook. You could use acrylic paints to make your letters, print out building block type letters from your computer, or cut individual letters in different shapes and colors from magazines and newspapers and then glue or tape them to your scrapbook in a random or abstract fashion. The one way that I like to display my titles is to have a sticker for each letter and create a nice background for each letter. I take a square, oval, or circle punch and punch out the nice cardstock that I like and that matches with my layout. You can then take each sticker and mount it onto the cardstock punch. And voila! You now have your nice new title. The titles of your scrapbook pages can be as colorful or as unique as your imagination allows. Vera Raposo has been scrapbooking for 8 years.

California Lemon Law Attorneys

By Richard Romando There are a number of attorneys who specialize in Californias Lemon Laws. They are in a lucrative field of practice, since the laws in this state allow for a number of buyer versus seller litigations. Basically, Californias Lemon Law also known as consumer warranty law specifies that the manufacturer carry a high degree of responsibility for sold products. The law is oriented more towards the manufacture and sale of motor vehicles. It applies equally to cars, RVs, trucks and motorboats. Vehicle parts are also included under the law. If they malfunction while under warranty, the manufacturer is held liable for repairs. If a reasonable number of repair attempts do not solve the problem, Californian Lemon Law specifies that the defective product(s) must be replaced. The disputable aspects of Californias Lemon Law are the areas of a reasonable number of attempts, and whether or not a breach of warranty exists. This is why attorneys are required. Interpreting California Lemon Laws in the correct context and in favor of a consumer calls for legal knowledge and courtroom skills. For example, the California Lemon Law as it pertains to motor vehicles has various provisions. A motor vehicle must have been sold or leased under full warranty of the manufacturer. The warranty may cover it against malfunctions within 18 months of purchase or before having been driven 18,000 miles. However, exercising California Lemon Law requires the customer to legally establish that a reasonable number of attempts have been made to repair it and may have to prove that the continued malfunction presents a definite hazard. These and various other legal intricacies can turn out to be loopholes for manufacturers if an attorney is not involved. To find a suitable attorney in a California Lemon Law case, check for a good track record in the field. The attorney should be willing to guide you as to your exact legal standing in the case. He should outline the parameters of the law and should not charge an initial consultation.

The Magic of Using Booklets for Tradeshow Giveaways

By Paulette Ensign Candy, squeeze balls, pens, and key chains -- these provide questionable value to anyone visiting or staffing a tradeshow booth. More and more meeting and marketing professionals are considering something a little different - booklets. They are a way to attract higher quality prospects, reap a handsome return on the investment of time and money in attending shows, and help set a company apart from the crowd. What is a booklet? The ultimate purpose of a booklet is to educate a target audience. It contains tips, techniques or strategies to help accomplish certain tasks. Typically it measures 3 " x 8 ", has 16 to24 pages, fits perfectly into a purse, pocket, or briefcase, and can conveniently be mailed in a standard #10 business envelope. The following five points highlight how you can use booklets as a powerful marketing tool to increase sales from tradeshow leads. 1. Why booklets make a great tradeshow giveaway item. Booklets have a lasting value, more than many handouts currently used at tradeshows. Yet booklets are not overpowering in any way. One major purpose in exhibiting at a show is to educate your target audience about how you can provide solutions to their challenges. A booklet packed full of a useful tips might address those challenges. In addition, it heightens your company's credibility as an expert in the industry, and draws the prospect to you when its time to purchase. Your company's name on a coffee mug or pen doesnt quite have the same impact when a prospect is looking for solutions to their challenges. Rather when they easily read your information in a booklet, youre perceived as knowledgeable. Also, you leave the reader with the distinct impression that you are looking to establish a rapport, and a business relationship with them. Handing out booklets separates you from those with a dish of candy at their booth, or those who offer yet one more shopping bag. And, the cost of booklets is less than many other giveaways and can effectively and easily be used throughout the year in other parts of your sales and marketing efforts. 2. Who uses booklets as a giveaway? Anyone in any industry who is selling or exhibiting at a trade show is a candidate for using booklets as a unique promotional tool. A company can write and produce their own booklet, have a booklet produced for them, or purchase copies of someone else's booklet on a topic of interest for their target audience. Small, mid-sized, and large companies alike use booklets. The minimum purchases are usually completely manageable, and there is an economy of scale as you purchase larger quantities. 3. What kind of information to include in a booklet? The best information to include in a booklet is common sense, grass roots, basic, practical how-to content on a topic relevant to your business and important to your customers. The material can be solutions to everyday concerns, which people often overlook. Sometimes the "magic pill" answer to challenges turns out to be information that is known but merely forgotten. The booklet acts as a reminder. It can also serve as new information for novices to an industry. 4. How else you can use a booklet to market your company? Once you have produced a booklet, you can often find other organizations that can benefit from it. This then helps to recoup your production costs, should that be of concern. For example, a manufacturer could sell it to distributors. You also continue marketing your own company, and generate new revenue in the process. Other uses include direct mail campaigns or licensing the rights to your booklet to another company. Licensing might also involve translating it into other languages to reach additional markets. Licensing agreements mean that the client produces the booklet. Your company grants specific rights, by written contract, for the client to do all the production of the booklet manuscript that your company owns. Identify prospects in your own industry by looking at the vendors, suppliers, and manufacturers. Each is a marketing niche. Approach them in a common-sense way. Remember that you are providing solutions to many of your clients' problems. 5. What common mistakes do companies make when exhibiting? One of the biggest mistakes companies make when exhibiting is in repeating what other exhibitors are giving away, or repeating what the company has done year after year regardless of the results. An uninteresting handout makes the statement that a company has put limited thought into their clients' needs. The importance of educating the clients about how you can help them cannot be overstated. When your company makes one more sale because someone reads the booklet you gave them, the investment of purchasing or creating the booklet pays off handsomely. Getting a return on the overall investment of the tradeshow is ultimately the primary reason for attending the show at all. Some industries, such as the pharmaceutical industry, are now making a concerted effort to pull back on money spent on excessively expensive and inappropriate giveaways, and are turning toward giveaways with educational value. Using a booklet as a tradeshow booth giveaway creates magic as you enjoy better-qualified leads that produce larger sales over a longer period of time with well-educated clients. A small investment in the booklet is definitely worth the large return.

Susan Friedmann CSP, http://www.thetradeshowcoach.com a leader in the tradeshow industry, helps companies niche market within an industry. Susan and Paulette have both 'been there and done that,' writing and successfully marketing their booklets and teaching audiences worldwide how to duplicate their success.
