			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MOLD ALLERGY</p>
<p>The leading cause of health problems associated with mold is the common mold allergy. Many who believe they are being poisoned by toxic molds are actually experiencing a mold allergy. Allergenic responses to molds as well as to other bio-allergens such as dust mite allergens, cat and dog allergens, and cock roach allergens can nevertheless be a serious concern and can result in mild to severe reactions that often get worse over time. Mold allergy symptoms include: runny nose, watery eyes, coughing, sneezing, itchy nose, itchy throat, and skin rashes. The institute of Medicine (1993) estimated that one in five Americans suffers from allergic rhinitis, the single most common chronic disease experienced by humans. Additionally, about 14% of the population suffers from allergy-related sinusitis, while 10 to 12% of Americans have allergically-related asthma. About 9% experience allergic dermatitis. (Institute of Medicine, 1993) and (Washington state Department of Health). We sometimes find that our clients are suffering from debilitating mold allergy reactions when living in moldy homes or working in moldy environments. People often realize after suffering for a few months or a few years, that it may be the mold causing their mysterious prolonged illness and that the situation is getting worse not better and that either they have to leave, or the mold has to go and the condition that caused the mold has to be revealed and corrected. Mold allergy is not the only problem.</p>
<p>MOLD INFECTIONS</p>
<p>Certain molds are known for causing infectious tissue diseases by invading and infecting human and animal tissues and mucous membranes. Mold-related sinus infections appear to be common in many persons living in mold contaminated homes. Eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, heart, brain and skin systems have documented infections due to molds. However, infections in these tissues typically only occurs in persons with a compromised immune system.</p>
<p>MOLD TOXICITY</p>
<p>Many molds also have been shown to produce very scary toxic substances known as mycotoxins; mycotoxins are located primarily in the mold spores.</p>
<p>These mycotoxins are produced by molds to help them compete with and kill other molds and microbes. It&#8217;s a type of biological warfare between molds and their competitors.  Mycotoxins are believed to result in headaches, sore throats, hair loss, flu symptoms, diarrhea, fatigue, dermatitis, general malaise (tiredness) and psychological depression.  (Croft et al, 1986, Jarvis, 1995).</p>
<p> Other reported responses to mycotoxin exposure includes skin rashes, lesions of the skin and gastrointestinal tract, and interference with blood cell formation.  (Sorenson 1993).</p>
<p>Many of the above are the results of lab animal and cell culture studies on toxic black mold also known as stachybotrys, and human and horse exposure to stachybotrys mold infested hay.</p>
<p>It is very important to not panic and keep in mind that to accomplish the above serious detrimental effects toxic molds like Stachybotrys and others may have to be either:</p>
<p>1. Consumed in mold contaminated foods.</p>
<p>2. Physically handled so that excessive physical contact is made between human skin and the mold.</p>
<p>3. Or the mycotoxins have to be exposed to living cells in the laboratory.</p>
<p>It may or may not be likely that toxic molds can cause the above detrimental effects when humans breathe in mold spores in the home. It is very difficult to gather scientifically reliable proof on the effects of breathing toxic mold spores in the home.</p>
<p>MUCOUS MEMBRANE AND TRIGEMINAL NERVE IRRITATION</p>
<p>Molds produce waste products made up of volatile organic compounds (VOC) such as alcohols aldehydes and acidic molecules after breaking down and absorbing food materials in our homes such as moist dust, and water damaged drywall paper, and wood. Exposure to volatile organic compounds may result in irritation to the eyes and the respiratory system. Volatile organic compounds and moldy pungent odors can also initiate avoidance reactions from the trigeminal nerve such as breath holding and discomfort. Odd sensations may also be noted including itching, burning, and skin crawling. Changes in sensation, swelling of mucous membranes, constriction of respiratory smooth muscle, or dilation of surface blood vessels may be triggered in response to trigeminal nerve stimulation. Decreased attention, disorientation, diminished reflex time, dizziness and other effects can also result from such exposures( Otto et al., 1989)</p>

<p>The presence of a small amount of even very toxic mold in your home is not necessarily need for immediate or irrational fear. It seems that most homes from my experience have some potentially toxic mold spores as do most outdoor environments. If unwarranted fear takes over, people become vulnerable to be taken advantage of by dishonest mold inspectors and dishonest mold remediators. It is wise to have your property tested and inspected by a non-biased professional mold allergy inspector to determine if concern is warranted and if and what corrective measures are needed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Global warming is a reality and increasingly its consequences are upon us. We may think that global warming does not affect us but the fact is it has already started to have disastrous consequences. Flash floods, droughts, receding icebergs, cyclones are some of the manifestations of global warming. Although we are aware and worried about it and trying our best to control it but no significant impact could be seen. </p>
<p>Scientists have come up with new strategies to tackle the problem. Now a scientist has suggested an ambitious idea to contain global warming. Put sunshades in space. That&#8217;s right. University of Arizona astronomer Roger Angel suggests putting sunshades in space and has detailed his idea in a paper &#8220;Feasibility of cooling the Earth with a cloud of small spacecraft near L1&#8243; in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He suggests launching a constellation of trillions of small free-flying spacecraft a million miles above Earth into an orbit aligned with the sun, called the L-1 orbit.</p>
<p>This spacecraft would form a long, cylindrical cloud and would have a diameter about half that of Earth, and about 10 times longer. It is suggested that about 10 percent of the sunlight passing through the 60,000-mile length of the cloud, pointing lengthwise between the Earth and the sun, would be diverted away from our planet. This would result in uniformly reduced sunlight by about 2 percent over the entire planet and would balance the heating of carbon dioxide in Earth&#8217;s atmosphere.</p>
<p>The use of space shade was first mooted by James Early of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1989. </p>
<p> The earlier ideas were for bigger, heavier structures that would have needed manufacture and launch from the moon, which is pretty futuristic,  Angel said.  I wanted to make the sunshade from small &#8216;flyers,&#8217; small, light and extremely thin spacecraft that could be completely assembled and launched from Earth, in stacks of a million at a time. When they reached L1, they would be dealt off the stack into a cloud. There&#8217;s nothing to assemble in space. </p>
<p>Angel proposes to design lightweight flyers made of transparent film pierced with small holes and would be two feet in diameter, 1/5000 of an inch thick and weigh about a gram, the same as a large butterfly. He suggests using &#8220;MEMS&#8221; technology mirrors as tiny sails that tilt to hold the flyers position in the orbiting constellation. </p>
<p>The weight of all flyers would be 20 millions tons. But conventional rocket launch system at $10,000 a pound would be too prohibitive. His alternative would cost only around $20 a pound.</p>
<p>He suggests deploying a total 20 electromagnetic launchers launching a stack of flyers every 5 minutes for 10 years. The electromagnetic launchers would use hydroelectric power but even if it uses coal-generated electricity, each ton of carbon used would reduce the effect of 1000 tons of atmospheric carbon.</p>
<p>Once propelled beyond Earth&#8217;s atmosphere the flyer stacks would be steered to L-1 orbit by solar-powered ion propulsion, pioneered by European Space Agency&#8217;s SMART-1 moon orbiter and NASA&#8217;s Deep Space 1 probe.</p>
<p> The concept builds on existing technologies,  Angel said.  It seems feasible that it could be developed and deployed in about 25 years at a cost of a few trillion dollars. With care, the solar shade should last about 50 years. So the average cost is about $100 billion a year, or about two-tenths of one percent of the global domestic product.  </p>
<p>He added,  The sunshade is no substitute for developing renewable energy, the only permanent solution. A similar massive level of technological innovation and financial investment could ensure that. </p>
<p> But if the planet gets into an abrupt climate crisis that can only be fixed by cooling, it would be good to be ready with some shading solutions that have been worked out. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>News of the apparent murder-suicide of well-known and well-liked WWE wrestler Chris Benoit left me with mixed emotions: sadness and dismay.</p>
<p>Unlike so many men past 60 who would not be caught dead admitting to watching pro wrestling on television in a polite, worldly, sophisticated public environment, I embraced the admission and stood my ground.</p>
<p>I believe Chris Benoit would have done the same. Benoit&#8217;s boob tube presence was never a good interview, never as charismatic as we would have liked, never a loudmouth, never a blowhard, never obnoxious, never foul mouthed but always quiet, real, genuine and tough as nails.</p>
<p>There is no telling how many World Championships Benoit (pronounced Ben-WAH) would have been allowed to win if he was all of the things that other wrestlers like  The Nature Boy  Ric Flair, the  Heartbreak Kid  Shaun Michaels or  The Cerebral Assassin  Triple HHH (Hunter Hurst Helmsley) flaunted.</p>
<p>Do not misunderstand what I am sharing here. I respected Triple H, I loved Ric Flair and Shaun Michaels as competitors and I loved Benoit even more as a pure competitor.</p>
<p>Benoit, Flair and Michales have probably taken more punishment in the ring, won more matches and won more titles than any other competitors. Few competitors and few fans ever figure out that everyone can dish it out in pro wrestling, but the ones who can dish it out AND withstand the punishment are eventually the champions.</p>
<p>Chris Benoit was born in Montreal, Canada and grew up in the same wrestling community as Stu Hart and his sons, most notable of which were Bret Hart and Owen Hart. Benoit was the consummate mat wrestler with talent and skills only matched by Flair and Michaels and perhaps exceeded by Bret Hart.</p>
<p>Benoit was a former World Heavyweight Champion, Intercontinental Champion and several time Tag Team Champion. His ring names included  The Canadian Crippler  and  The Rabid Wolverine .</p>
<p>Benoit reminded me a lot of of Eddie Guerrero. Both Owen Hart and Guerrero died prematurely, Owen from a tragic wrestling promotion accident that should never have happened, and Guerrero from an apparent overdose of prescription drugs.</p>
<p>Like Owen Hart and Eddie Guerrero, Benoit was almost universally liked by his fellow superstars and sports entertainers in the WWE locker room.</p>
<p>I do not believe that Vince McMahon (Vinny Mac), the World Wrestling Entertainment owner and arguably the most gifted of sports entertainment promoters ever, could really tolerate a person so quiet and respected as Christ Benoit.</p>
<p>That is why it came as such a shock to me that Benoit could have allegedly strangled his 43-year-old wife Nancy, strangled his 7-year-old son Daniel and then committed suicide by hanging himself on the cable of a weight-training machine at his home. I cannot comprehend the unspeakable horror of his wife or son realizing their circumstance when Benoit apparently lost control of his life.</p>
<p>Their bodies were found in three separate rooms of their home off a gravel road about two miles from the Whitewater Country Club near Atlanta. Holy Bibles were left beside Benoit&#8217;s wife and son.</p>
<p>Benoit had maintained an Atlanta address from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling. The Fayette County Tax Assessors Office listed the value of the house, situated on more than 8.5 acres, at nearly $900,000. The same house and property in Connecticut, California or Seattle, Washington would probably be valued at $2+ million.</p>
<p>I know the pain of suicide as my sister Loretta committed suicide. She was a victim of MS (multiple sclerosis) and had apparently lost any hope of living a better life in the advanced stages of her disease. I came to know that people who commit suicide have lost all hope of a better life.</p>
<p>I certainly do not condone killing one&#8217;s immediate family on the way to committing suicide; murder in this circumstance seems cowardly to me, and if there is one thing I never, ever, thought about Benoit was that he was a coward. I thought him to be just the opposite.</p>
<p>Since this tragic story has unfolded it has taken on a life on its own in the national media, in part because of the incredible events that have surfaced since the tragedy. These include:</p>
<p>The rumor that Benoit and his wife constantly fought about money, even though he apparently made $500,000+ as a professional wrestler for WWE.</p>
<p>The rumor that Benoit and his wife fought about the best way to raise their son Daniel, who was undersized and possibly a special needs child.</p>
<p>The fact that Benoit&#8217;s wife filed for divorce in 2003, saying their three-year union was irrevocably broken and alleging  cruel treatment.  She later dropped the complaint as well as a request for a restraining order.</p>
<p>The fact that Benoit&#8217;s page on Wikipedia, a reference site that allows users to add and edit information, was updated about 14 hours BEFORE authorities say the bodies were found on Monday, June 25. The update said the reason Benoit missed a match on Saturday of the fateful weekend was  stemming from the death of his wife Nancy.  The source was traced to a user in Stamford, Connecticut, but claimed no connection to WWE, which has its headquarters in Stamford.</p>
<p>The fact that anabolic steroids found in Benoit&#8217;s home led officials to wonder whether the drugs played a role in the killings that started the weekend of June 22. Some experts believe steroids can cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as  roid rage . Toxicology tests on Benoit&#8217;s body have not been completed.</p>
<p>The fact that Benoit had seen his personal physician and friend, Dr. Phil Astin, and been given prescription medications on June 22.</p>
<p>The fact that Dr. Astin prescribed a 10-month supply of anabolic steroids to Chris Benoit every three to four weeks between May 2006 and May 2007, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent in a filed affidavit.</p>
<p>The fact that the DEA acknowledged that Benoit&#8217;s name had surfaced in a drug probe investigation before the tragedy occurred. The probe was called  RX Weight Loss  and Benoit was identified as an excessive purchaser of injectable steroids.</p>
<p>The fact that Dr. Astin was charged exactly a week after the tragedy with improperly prescribing medications to two patients, but not Benoit. More charges may be coming.</p>
<p>For the record, since 1997 about 1,000 wrestlers 45 and younger have worked on pro wrestling circuits. Of the 1,000, at least 65 have died since 1997 according to a report in USA Today (3-12-04 edition), 25 from heart attacks or other coronary problems. Many had enlarged hearts. Another statistic from another source purports that 104 wrestlers have died prematurely in the last 10 years.</p>
<p>The list of steroid or prescription drug users include some big names: Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Bollea), former Minnesota governor Jesse  The Body  Ventura,  Rowdy  Roddy Piper (real name Roderick Toombs),  Stone Cold  Steve Austin, Bret  The Hit Man  Hart (Hart was also know as  The Excellence of Execution ), Paul Michael  Triple H  Levesque (also known previously as Hunter Hearst Helmsley), Mark  Johnny B. Badd  Mero (Sable&#8217;s husband),  Superstar  Billy Graham, Jim  The Ultimate Warrior  Hellwig, Kevin  Big Sexy  Nash, Jeff Hardy, Mike  Road Warrior Hawk  Hegstrand, Mike  Crash Holly  Lockwood, Scott  Raven  Levy, Eddie Guerrero,  The British Bulldog  Davey Boy Smith, and the lesser known  Strongman  Johnny Perry.</p>
<p>Why do they use steroids and prescription drugs? That is an easy answer.</p>
<p>During a 15-minute match, pro entertainment wrestlers exchange choreographed body slams and punches. Some leap from top ropes onto cement surfaces outside the ring.</p>
<p>No matter how choreographed the moves, imagine lying in the ring and your opponent does an Eddie Guerrero  Frog Splash  on you from 15 feet in the air. Stand on top of a 15-foot stepladder in your front yard, dive off, flatten yourself out so you hit parallel to your lawn. Does it hurt landing? You better believe it.</p>
<p>In the more physical  hard-core  matches, wrestlers are smashed through tables, whacked in the head with steel chairs and punctured with barbed wire and tacks. None of these dangerous antics are fake. And you thought pimping was hard. Try being a pro wrestler.</p>
<p>Pro wrestlers have my total respect. They are incredibly well-conditioned, talented athletes who put up with a lot for my viewing enjoyment.</p>
<p>My heart sinks when I see an genuine icon like Ric Flair wrestling at his age and being allowed to get the holy hell stomped out of him for the sake of ever-more violent entertainment.</p>
<p>There are no words to describe my anguish over Chris Benoit. May God have mercy on his soul, and may God take Benoit&#8217;s wife Nancy and son Daniel into his arms in Heaven.</p>
<p>Perhaps Benoit&#8217;s father Michael said it best:  It&#8217;s impossible to come up with a rational explanation for a very irrational act.  My condolences go out to Chris Benoit&#8217;s family and to all of those who knew and loved Chris Benoit as one of the greatest pro wrestling entertainers of our generation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Question: Why is my computer running so slow? Do computers slow down when they get older? </p>
<p>Answer: No, but here are some of the most common reasons a computer slows down.</p>
<p>Background programs running:</p>
<p>This is the biggest reason and can be fixed quickly and for free&#8230; it&#8217;s possible that your computer may have so many background programs running simultaneously that there is not enough resources to run normally.</p>
<p>The end result of this is that your computer begins to run more and more slowly over time as you add other programs.</p>
<p>There are two remedies, get Anti-Spyware and use the feature which allows you to view running programs and to disable any of those running programs. Or, if you like to get into your system with your bare hands, use the remedy below.</p>
<p>How to disable unneeded background programs:</p>
<p>All icons in your computer&#8217;s system tray are background programs using memory. There are more, but you will get a hint from that system tray. To see and exit all running background programs:</p>
<p>Windows 95 - ME</p>
<p>*<br />a. Press the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys at the same time.<br />*<br />b. Click any program or task except Explorer or Systray,<br />*<br />c. and then click End Task.</p>
<p>Repeat steps b and c to quit all programs except Explorer and Systray which are necessary components of Microsoft Windows.</p>
<p>You should now have a clean system. See if the computer runs like it used to&#8230; if it does, you will want to prevent those programs from restarting the next time you start the computer.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t want any background programs starting when you restart the system, and you know what you are doing, you can run msconfig from the run menu and completely disable what you find in the &#8216;Startup&#8217; tab. If you aren&#8217;t that experienced and you want a safe way to disable all those unneeded background programs, get the remedy recommended for the spyware on this page. It has a feature allowing you to disable startup programs safely.</p>
<p>Windows XP through 2003 Server</p>
<p>*<br />a. Press the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys at the same time.<br />*<br />b. Choose &#8216;Task Manager&#8217; tab to view and end any running programs.<br />*<br />c. disabling these programs will require that you change their startup properties in the &#8216;Administrative Tools&#8217; area of your system. The Windows Help menu will walk you though that process if you search &#8216;disable programs&#8217; in your help section.</p>
<p>Spyware:</p>
<p>Many kinds of software add themselves to your system start menu without even asking your permission. Sometimes you will click on a link or visit a hacker website that installs spyware on your computer without you knowing. Click here for the best fix. and its free to try.</p>
<p>Fragmented hard drive:</p>
<p>This results from programs being loaded and deleted. Run the Window&#8217;s hard drive defragmenter (Defrag) once a month. It is under your System Tools menu. Your computer&#8217;s help menu will tell you how to do it.</p>
<p>Other problems: (Possible, but unlikely to cause problems)</p>
<p>You could have old or conflicting Windows device drivers. An example would be you might actually have two entirely different video drivers on your system and Windows could actually be alternately using both of them.</p>
<p>To prevent this problem, First boot the computer in Safe Mode by pressing and holding the F8 key during startup, after the DOS memory check has completed.</p>
<p>While in Safe Mode select Start/Settings/Control Panel/System/Devices. Click on all the devices and see if the various drivers have any yellow or red exclamation marks (which indicates a driver conflict) and also determine if there are any duplicate drivers that can be eliminated.</p>
<p>You may have to delete and reload a driver to correct these problems. Duplicate drivers can and should be deleted.</p>
<p>As each new Windows program is installed and uninstalled, it leaves behind parts of itself that can slow down or crash your computer. These are mostly .dlls and other shared files.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also very possible when uninstalling a program that needed Windows system files can be deleted. When your computer asks if you want to uninstall shared files it&#8217;s usually safest to say no &#8212; even if your uninstall program claims the files are not being used.</p>
<p>Old Windows drivers can be found by booting into Safe Mode, then opening Control Panel/System/Devices and ridding your system of old drivers.</p>
<p>Otherwise, the only real answer to this problem is to pick up ERROR DOCTOR or just reload Windows into a new directory which eliminates all old junk and leftover files. Reloading Windows is something to do last, as you will also have to reload all your Windows settings, drivers, and programs.</p>
<p>You could be lacking system memory - The only time this may be a problem is if you have an older system and upgraded your operating system without adding some more memory. You should probably upgrade to 256 or 512MB or more of system memory, while it isn&#8217;t free, it isn&#8217;t very expensive like it was at one time. Check out Tiger Direct to find great deals on memory upgrades.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you remember the ubiquitous Crazy Frog and its ilking? </p>
<p>A new report from Informa Telecoms and Media predicts that by 2010, mobile music will be worth $11.3bn, with nearly $6.8bn worth of real tones - mobile phone ringtones that sound like a real song rather than digitized music - sold by the end of the decade. Ringtones of all varieties are expected to be worth $4.9bn this year, with almost all ringtones set to become real music by 2010</p>
<p>The voice ringtones market, which adds a voice channel to the polyphonic sound such that the actual song is sung when the ringtones plays are the next wave in the ringtones market. The interesting thing about ringtones is that they are truly an entertainment service and only marginally related to communication and messaging. Ringtones are the most popular type of content downloads to mobile phones. They are the second most popular nonvoice mobile data services after standard text messaging. The bulk of the sales should take place in Asia, with the region likely to account for more than half of global demand for mobile music services including ringtones</p>
<p>Ringtones remain the clear consumer favorite when it comes to mobile music offerings from online websites. The mobile entertainment market faces challenges which will hinder its long term prospects because of the ongoing tussle for a large slice of the revenues from mobile operators and record companies.</p>
<p>For the telecommunications sector, mobile entertainment &#8212; music, games, gambling and video &#8212; is seen as a key income stream as profit margins from voice and messaging services get squeezed from intense competition. Additionally, ringtones are categorized as a premium content service which commands a premium end user price. Consumers are paying between $0.50 and $5.00 per ringtones, with a typical price being $2.00. This is a substantial price premium compared to other mobile data services. Revenues from ringtones can therefore be significant</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a direct link between the popularity of real music ringtones and the number of iPods. Soon there will be more mobile phones capable of playing music out there than iPods. so watch out ipod .The recording industry sees mobile content as a better bet than web music salest, the industry is starting to see mobile music as a whole revenue stream. And the ringtones market is expected to blossom further as consumers download entire songs on their phones through 3G technologies, and customized ring back tones enable callers to hear songs instead of conventional network ringing tones. The phenomenon is also opening up new distribution avenues for songwriters.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re sitting on the bus or walking down the street, you can now enjoy your music more conveniently. Your favorite tunes are only one touch away.</p>
<p>Furthermore, with web connectivity you can enjoy high quality music on the go; this is further pushing the boundaries of mobile music. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Of all the features in Avnex Music Morpher Gold 3.0, the Editor contains a truly impressive collection of powerful and versatile audio tools. Let&#8217;s take an in-depth look at the various effects and filters built-in to this program.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the greatest gifts you can give your children is a love for reading. When a child discovers the world of books, he has the tools to learn much more than letters. He can now find, in the pages, doorways to other places and other lives. He can be a king conquering a dragon. A spy saving the world. A boy magician, a bandit, an island castaway, a sheriff. He can be anything, and all he has to do is to take a book, and let his imagination take flight.</p>
<p>But before he develops a love for books, he must have easy access to books. Parents can read him a bedtime story, and teachers may explain the fundamentals of reading, but what will he do if there are no parents or teachers around? Left on his own, he will reach for what is nearest and easiest, and unfortunately, that is often the television.</p>
<p>Building his book collection</p>
<p>Parents must invest in children&#8217;s books that are age appropriate and related to the child&#8217;s interests. For example, if he likes cars, he will love reading books about them. Even if he showed no interest in the fairytales or counting books, mark our words: he will be drawn immediately to stories like Thomas the Tank Engine, and not feel that it is a &#8220;chore&#8221;. Also invite him to personally choose a book at the library or bookstore. You can make it a ritual or a treat, something he can look forward to every month: &#8220;today I get to read a new book!&#8221;</p>
<p>Choosing a child bookshelf</p>
<p>As he builds his book collection, let him store it in his own special child bookshelf. Why do you need a child bookshelf instead of letting him share the one you already have? First, out of practicality, he can&#8217;t reach the higher shelves, and if he tries to, he could seriously hurt himself and send rows of your own books falling to the floor. You wouldn&#8217;t want that to happen-especially since, long after the injury has healed, he may be too traumatized to pick up a book on his own again.</p>
<p>Giving your child his own child bookshelf also encourages him to take care of his books. By showing him that books are special, because the stories in them are magical and deserve some kind of care and respect, you send the message that reading (and owning a book) is a wonderful grown-up privilege. You know how children think-they want to feel important, and treated like an adult. So make reading a &#8220;serious&#8221; business: &#8220;This is a very special book, and we&#8217;ll give you a very special child bookshelf to put it in.&#8221;</p>
<p>Storing books in a child bookshelf also make it very convenient for a child to get a book when he&#8217;s bored. The desire to read may hit him at the oddest and most inconvenient times, like when you&#8217;re preparing dinner, or in the middle of doing the laundry. If his books are kept in a child bookshelf, he can take them out and return them with minimum fuss. He&#8217;ll also like the freedom to choose from his collection, which he can browse through freely. Children like having choices and a child bookshelf provides them with that opportunity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A saying:  the way to a man&#8217;s heart is through his stomach  seems to be very accurate for Ireland. As the economy has boomed and the influx of immigrants has begun everybody can taste other cultures in ethnic restaurants, take aways and even buy ingredients in fresh food markets and in Irish shops which have started providing food from all around the world such as Asian noodles, French cheese, Spanish meat and Polish soup. </p>
<p>One day a taxi driver surprised me a lot: when he had discovered the fact that I am Polish he straight away shouted out to me his favourite Polish dishes which are bigos (sort of cabbage stew), pierozki (dumplings) and zobrowka (Vodka) with apple juice. This, uncommon for an Irish person, culinary preference springs from the fact that his sister in law comes from Poland and for 25 years now has cultivated Polish cuisine at home.</p>
<p>When I met Gregg Behan, sales manager of Irish Broadband he told me about his colleague, Isobel from France. The other day she discovered a French delicatessen stall at a Fresh Food market in Leopardstown. Next day she served her country delights to her colleagues at work.  Gregg points out: That was amazing! Everybody loved it.        I would probably pass the stall by not even knowing what all that stuff is. But I liked the food she brought, so probably next time I will ask her to buy some of the nice sausages and cheeses for me.  </p>
<p>On the other hand people arriving in Ireland are keen to taste Irishness as well&#8230; and not only Guinness but also Irish stew, bacon and cabbage, lamb and of course the famous Irish breakfast. Foreigners are disgusted looking at what we eat for breakfast, but some day they try it, and then when their family or friends come over, probably they will serve them a traditional Irish fry - Gregg wondered and I had to admit that it is exactly what happens!</p>
<p>People living in Ireland nowadays have an incredible chance to get to know other cultures. It might start from the food&#8230; I am certainly taking this opportunity. I love shopping in Asian and African markets, trying vegetables and lentils, which I have never seen in my life. I have fallen for Italian and Spanish cheese, cannot imagine my life without sushi and must have Indian at least once a month.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know the demand for professional childcare providers would increase 12% by 2012? As more and more parents search for reliable, quality childcare, the need will continue to grow! That means career opportunity for you!</p>
<p>You can start a home day care business with a minimal investment. This is a great business opportunity for anybody that loves kids, and wants to turn it into a career. In addition to the minimal investment that is needed, you will also already have the space for your kids being that you will be running your business out of your home. All in all, a home day care business is one of the best opportunities to make a lot of money without having to spend tons of it up front.</p>
<p>If you are gong to start a home day care business you need to make sure that you are aware of every last detail. Remember, you will be taking care of other people&#8217;s children. If anything happens to them you will be responsible. So the best way to avoid this is by simply getting everything lined up from the very beginning.</p>
<p>The first thing that you will need to do is make sure that your house is safe enough to run a home day care business. In other words, do you have the room to house all of the children without posing a threat to their safety? You should have a designated area in your home that you can run your home day care business out of. Never try to turn your entire home into the day care. This will only make a mess, and make it much more difficult for you to keep track of everything that is going on.</p>
<p>Also, your home needs to be child proof. You cannot have anything that may harm the children that you are watching. This includes things such as stairs that they could fall down, or small items that they could choke on. This is why having a designated area for your home day care business is of the utmost importance.</p>
<p>After you have your home set up, you need to make sure that you have all of the proper certificates and insurance in order to run a business out of your home. Many people overlook this, and end up running into big problems down the line. Do not let this happen to you. Get in touch with the appropriate people in your area and ask them what you need to do in order to set up a home day care business. More than likely your local municipality will be able to give you the information that you need in order to get started. </p>
<p>Starting a home day care business can be very profitable, and quite fun if you love children. Just make sure that before you start your home day care business that you have all of the loose ends tied up. This will ensure your chances of success as your business grows. Remember, as a day care owner you will have a rewarding, challenging career where you&#8217;ll see the results of your caring and creative efforts every day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you had a no-risk way that is guaranteed to fatten your wallet, would you use it? Of course you would. I have a simple solution to do that, and I&#8217;m shocked that most internet marketers are not implementing this simple strategy. If you implement it, you&#8217;ll be ahead of most of the average internet marketers. Anyway, this is what you do:</p>
<p>Simply put an additional offer order form right before your customer completes their purchase. </p>
<p>This additional offer can be two things, a cross-sell and an up-sell. You can use a cross-sell by combining a related product to the original order. Or you can use the up-sell by giving your customers an &#8216;upgraded or premium version&#8217; of your product.</p>
<p>Here is an example of a cross-sell:</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes! I want to gain Maximum Muscle In Minimal Time with the Maximum Muscle Protein Powder for $30 right now! Also include my 12-bar box of Maximum Muscle Protein Bars, the perfect food bar for the serious bodybuilder at the rock-bottom price of $19.97!&#8221;</p>
<p>(In this case, protein bars are related to original product, the protein powder.)</p>
<p>Here is an example of an up-sell:</p>
<p>&#8220;YES! I want to super size the soda and fries for only 50 cents more!&#8221; </p>
<p>(In this case, the bigger portion of the meal is the upgraded version of the original product.)</p>
<p>The reason you want to do this is because your customer already has his credit card in hand and are receptive to buy your original product. The cross-sell and up-sell technique works because it plays into your customer&#8217;s impulse buying habits.</p>
<p>Like I said before, there is absolutely no risk in having these offers. Your customers can either order your package deal or they don&#8217;t. But let&#8217;s say only 50% of your customers do order your additional offers; calculate how that can fatten you wallet. There is nothing to lose, and more money to gain! You will only win in this situation!</p>
<p>Just be creative when cross-selling your products. You can figure it out, just use your common sense! Here are a few examples to get you started:</p>
<p>Golf equipment - after they&#8217;ve purchased hundreds of dollars of equipment, would your prospects want to know how to improve their swing? Offer them an instructional DVD or a subscription to a golf magazine.</p>
<p>Insurance - after your prospect bought an auto insurance policy, offer them a vacation package at $100 off.</p>
<p>Information products - after your prospect bought your $597 product, offer them a limited time offer of purchasing the bonus CD set that usually sells for $397 at a one time only price of $97.</p>
<p>Just integrate these offers in your website ordering page with a checkbox. The beauty of offering these upsell/cross-sell goodies is that it takes a minute to implement, but doesn&#8217;t cost you any extra money to advertise and promote. </p>
<p>To sum up, the cross-sell/up-sell works well because people are in the &#8216;buying&#8217; mode, and it takes less effort push them deeper in your extra &#8216;money-saving&#8217; offers. If you want some extra money with very little effort, start using this strategy today!</p>
