The Robots Industry Revolutionizes Any Production Line

By Cliford Shattiner

Robotics, a word first used by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov in a short story in 1942, has evolved from the fantasies of science fiction into practical application in manufacturing and industry. While the reality of talking robots that replicate thought like so many science fiction novel stereotypes is centuries away, practical robotics fills a purpose in the present world, revolutionizing manufacturing for a more productive and safer workplace environment.

The robots industry first gained real momentum when car companies began instituting them on assembly lines in the 1980s. Although there were concerns about robots putting autoworkers out of work, those concerns were stemmed as the field of robotics opened up new technological jobs, careers that require extensive training in robotics and engineering.

The robots industry really has the potential to improve our quality of life by freeing workers from dirty, boring, dangerous and heavy labor-intensive jobs. Some tasks humans were just not meant to do. Boredom can create errors and inconsistencies, as well as a dangerous workplace environment. Humans are better off designing robots than working like them.

Modern robots don't fit the science fiction stereotype we grew up watching on TV. In fact, the average person probably wouldn't recognize a robotic arm as a robot. Yet these robotic arms bring uniformity to the production line that wouldn't be possible otherwise with traditional human labor.

Robotics advances business and production through increased management control, more consistent product quality, and a higher production capacity. Robots work around the clock with no negative effects on their performance.

The science of robotics has been growing, with recent technological developments making them more adaptable to production than ever before. Finding a robot for sale is as easy as ordering a new computer. In fact, you can usually get any robot you need online.

Finding a bargain on a used robot for sale is also easy. Companies often discontinue a production line and then sell off the robots, making a robotic conversion ever more affordable to revolutionize your product line.

Robotics has moved beyond the realm of science fiction and into the realities of modern science. Robotics is an applied science that's revolutionizing the world of industry, increasing manufacturing capabilities while keeping humans away from dangerous working conditions. Robots increase the quality and consistency of a production line, saving costs while producing a better quality product. - 20767

Tips for Setting up A Craft Show Booth

By Ethan O. Tanner

Have you ever walked into a store and at once been so frustrated that you could not even start out to entertain the thought of outlaing your money? Things are arbitrarily dispersed everywhere, there's little organization, and once you come up an item that you could consider buying - it shows no price tag. Do not let this come about at your workmanship presentation kiosk. You must bear in mind the same rules of efficient marketing and selling when you gear up for a commercial show.

The initial matter you need to consider is having a plan. That entails assembling an estimate of what your craft display kiosk will look like beforehand. I have encountered numerous people merely tote their craft show items around in the rear of a large van with a couple of additional pedestals and shelves to lay them on. These are the one and the same folks that inquire, "how come I didn't sell anything this weekend?"

Planning for your trade show cubicle demands a few matters: foremost, you ought speak to the craft show organizer to check how much space you get, and whether there are a few restrictions to what you'll be able to possess in or bordering your booth. Similarly, investigate if you will have a functioning electical supply in your cubicle. This is essential. Also you will want to arrange to obtain a floor plan of where your booth is situated in order to blueprint the best layout to keep the movement of shoppers in and around your craft show exhibit.

When you go to set up you craft show booth for the show, there are a couple of things to work on for a good craft show. No clutter! Keep your crafts well organized into specific areas. If you are a knitter and you have sweaters for kids and adults, you don't want them together because people will be frustrated with having to sort through the kids sweaters to find the one adult one in the pile.

Spend time perfecting your merchandising skills. If you have a special stained glass window hanging, it would be time well spent to purchase or build a window that you can display in your booth with one of your window hangings in it. When people see the item in action, they can picture it in their own homes, or they can picture using it. If they can do this, then they are more likely to part with the money to buy it.

Keep items no lower than waist level - No one really wants to bend over after they have been on their feet all day at a craft show. Keep items within a person's reach and they will be more likely to pick it up and examine it closely - which leads to more purchases. Leave the floor area for extra stock (in boxes) with which you can fill your racks.

Mark everything you have with its price - Make it easy for shoppers to buy your crafts. Whenever you do not have a price, they might not consider asking - they may just go elsewhere to purchase something.

Do away with snarl-ups. There's nothing less positive than having shoppers frustrated by the lack of good flow in a craft show cubicle. Try to arrive at a normal flow for folks to survey your craft show particulars, be moved along by other shoppers walking through, and proceed right through to the checkout counter at the end. Whenever you make too many places where shoppers are stagnant or they have trouble getting to see other crafts, you're limiting your sales.

Remember, you are running a business. Think of that store that you despise going into versus the one where everything flows so nicely; the displays are appealing and all of the price tags are on the items for sale. Make your craft show booth resemble the store you like - and you'll find that people will spend more money on your crafts! - 20767

How To Start Earning Money From Travel Business

By Gary Mooney

Want to know about a great business opportunity?

The travel business is a generous business. Discounted travel packages are always available-you just have to get the right number of people to go on a vacation with! But if you really want to earn money, you should engage in wholesale travel. The new way of engaging in the travel business is through network marketing.

People like you and me can easily have a home-based business selling travel packages to people. When we have sold these packages, we can earn money through travel commissions. If you're still skeptical about this business opportunity presented to you, let's have a short lecture on the laws of economics.

Should I tell you more?

Network marketing makes use of a multi-level marketing or MLM strategy. MLM can be as simple as word-of-mouth. You start talking to people about how big a discount they can avail of if they buy into your discounted travel packages. These discounts happen because of wholesale travel packages.

On the other hand, wholesale travel packages assure these airlines that the plane will be filled. When that happens, plane tickets become a lot cheaper when you book them in advance. And the difference between the advance tickets and wholesale travel tickets is where your travel commissions are going to come to from. That's a LOT of money!

How will it work for you?

What are you waiting for?

The thing is, as distributors, we don't necessarily have a quota that we should fulfill. All we have to do is start selling. When that happens, we start earning those travel commissions. If you don't get to sell anything, you don't get anything. So basically, we will be earning in a ratio proportional to how much we work hard for it.

Unfortunately, many people think that network marketing is actually the pyramid scamming that gets people in debt. This is why you should know the processes of MLM before you engage in the business. Make sure that the agency that you'll apply at, is legitimate and trustworthy. There are many ways with which you can protect yourself from such scams. Avoid those and start travelling or earning money! - 20767

Yes! You Can Use Credit Cards To Rebuild Credit

By Mike Perkins

You may not believe it but you can use credit cards to rebuild credit after bankruptcy. The last thing you want to do right now is get discouraged about your situation. The reality is that it could happen to anyone. I'd like to talk to you now about using credit cards to rebuild credit.

The Good News

The good news is that your credit future has not come to an end. You can regain the same life you had before bankruptcy. Positivity is a must if you want to start moving forward. Nobody likes to start over with their credit but at least you are given the opportunity.

Building Trust

You will find that there are credit companies that will be willing to lend to you after bankruptcy. If your going to use credit cards to rebuild credit you can expect to pay high-interest on the money you borrow. You only want to establish trust by making regular on time payments.

Responsibility And Restraint

The idea is that you will be paying off your debt in full every month. The credit lender will be looking at your ability to exercise restraint and responsibility. Let the lenders know that you have made some real changes.

Another Option

Another option that can be used is to apply for a secure credit card. A secure credit card is often secured using a savings account. The funds may be claimed by the lender in the event that you default on your payments. This allows the creditor the ability to take on riskier applicants.

Be Patient

It might not happen as fast as you like but what's important is that it's possible to use credit cards to rebuild credit. Learn from your experience and make sure that you don't make the same mistakes twice. Be patient and persistent and your credit will improve the longer you stick to your plan. - 20767

Craft Show Addiction

By Rick Amorey

It?s been a long time since I did it. Yes, I told myself back then that it was a silly hobby, an occupation that really does not reward myself. I have now acknowledged that I was just lying to myself; I was trying to find an excuse to stop devoting time to something that I loved doing, and for what? It was all in an attempt to give myself more time for a work that I barely enjoyed.

We live in the modern world, and finding something that you love to do and earning money with it is a rare thing. Because of that, many people just opt to go for jobs that they are capable of doing even if they borderline detest the tasks that they do. It is true that most hobbies just don?t pay well, if at all. This is all interesting; in my particular case, you see, earning for what I?m doing is far from being unheard of.

There was a time when I liked to venture into craftsmaking; I am a woodworker, in particular. To me, there?s just something that can be had with the natural beauty of wood. Whenever my muse is around the corner, I find that I can cut, carve, or glue them to whatever shape my mind imagines.

Let's get on with my story. Until recently, I preferred the mundanely repetitive task of my job. But then the financial crisis hit, and just to be careful, I began exploring other avenues of gaining income.

So I went to the Internet, and I discovered that there were literally thousands of craft fairs in our country annually. All I had to do was go to a site that listed all events, apply some filters, and ta-da! I could find the ones in my area. It was then just a matter of choosing the right one.

I have been going to these fairs and festivals for several months now, and I must say that I have mostly enjoyed the experiences that I've had. Even if sales are not always good, my experience has been positive overall. And of course, the extra income that comes with it is a nice kicker. - 20767

You Must Have Keywords That Are A Part Of What You Are Offering To Be Effective.

By Jason Glover

Dear Friend,

Due to so much talk about keywords these days, people want to know the best keyword density? Some say between 2-8% is best, while others may say that is too low. Some feel that 10% is best. However, there can be too much of a good thing.

Being an SEO writer, I feel that most online marketers need keyword seeding density that amounts to at least 10 percent or higher. Google is considered to be the most popular search engine across the World Wide Web. Now, if Google starts penalizing websites with keywords seeded at more than 2 percent, it will be senseless for all my clients to ask for more than 2 percent seeding.

However, due to the overuse of keywords, sites such as Google may not look upon them as well as they once did. This may make the use of keywords not nearly as effective as they used to be. In order to get the most use from your keywords that you possibly can, you need to be certain that there are relevant to you articles or whatever you are putting them in. You must have keywords that are a part of what you are offering to be effective.

If you do not use the appropriate keywords in your content, it can easily mislead people to come to your site and although this may seem ideal, it is not. When you have people come click on your site and then leave immediately, this is tracked and can cause you more problems.

So, in order to lead the right people to your site, you need to use keywords they may use when looking for you. This is the way to generate the traffic that you want and what can ultimately bring turn your traffic to customers.

If a person takes the time to read what you have say, there is a good chance they want something you may have to offer. This means the keywords you use in the article are helpful to lead them to your site. This is the best way to work on SEO efforts and also allow them to be as effective as they can be. Anything else is just a waste of your time.

To your success,

Jason

P.S. I am unable to emphasize on the importance of keyword relevance to the content. However, this importance is very valuable to the search engine in order to attract the right kind of traffic. - 20767

Debt Consolidation is Dangerous!

By Ben Davies

Being in debt is a very stressful situation to be in, I know personally. If you are determined to get yourself out of debt and back into the black it can be done, but it won't be done with Debt Consolidation.

These consolidation loans have problems because initially you need to take out a loan for the full amount you owe and then on top of that you must pay fees to the consolidation company. That means that the total you owe increases.

The second problem is that the consolidation loan itself makes you look like you were bankrupt, because it comes from a third party, i.e the consolidation loan company. This affects your credit score in a big way.

This will severely affect you in the future and completely defeats one of the main reasons for taking out a consolidation loan in the first place - to avoid bankruptcy

There's a far far better route to follow to get yourself free of your debts and that is called settlement and sometimes also referred to as negotiation.

This involves a specialist company dealing on a direct basis with whoever you owe cash to and then negotiating to reduce that debt.

They make your creditors understand that the only way to get a proper return on their investment is to reduce the amount you owe.

There is much more leeway in these programs when it comes to repayment schedules and amount. Some have saved almost eighty per cent of what they owed and the fee is only ever a percentage of whats saved.

You must however be extremely careful whom you choose to work with. Only the best in the industry will have the knowledge, contacts and experience to successfully negotiate on your behalf. Some less reputable companies even try to pray on those in desperate situations for their own gain. - 20767

How Can Gold Make Your Small Business Rich? Benefits To Buy, Sell And Trade Gold.

By Kirk Richardson

Small business investment can be a tricky situation. You need to ensure that your investment portfolio can take of weight of your companys ups and downs which is why more and more small business investors are diversifying their portfolios by branching away from the stock exchange. More and more investors are opting to buy gold in addition to other investments in order to ensure the security of their business. When you buy gold, even a small amount, you are giving your business another option to thrive and lessening the risk of playing the stock exchange.

So why is it so smart to buy, sell and trade gold as part of your overall small business investment portfolio? Here are four good reasons why:

One of the best examples of this is right after World War II when inflation was at an all time high. During that time, gold also peaked at a 130% return. This is only one of the many examples.

Furthermore, with the recent financial crisis, tax cuts and the increase in oil prices, history will most likely repeat itself in the near future. What this means is now is the time to buy gold bullion or invest in gold futures for your small business.

Gold can also be predicted through the oil prices. The past trends have demonstrated that, in general, when the price of oil is up, so is the price of gold. Knowing this will help small business investors buy, sell and trade gold at the right time.

The fact that gold is a lot less riskier and a lot easier to predict than stock commodities are only two of the reasons why many small business investors are opting to add gold to their investment portfolio.

Its also important to remember that, at the end of the day, gold can be used for monetary value. If the business is going down, there is always the emergency option to sell gold for monetary gain. This cannot be said for commodities, especially when the company goes bankrupt or the market crashes.

When you buy gold, whether you are investing in gold bullion, investing in a gold mining company, investing in a mutual precious metal exchange or investing in gold futures, you are investing in the future of your small company. Buy gold now and prepare for profit and growth in the future. You wont regret making this smart move. - 20767

The company will give the AR Factoring firm the documents that prove how much they are owed in order to write an agreement. The factoring firm, will give the company money in exchange for this documents after going thorough a meticulous qualifying process.

Following to this, the AR factoring firm and your company will put all terms and conditions in writing and both parties will sign a contract. The AR factoring company will use the information you provide on your customers to collect the money they owe you and reduce your numbers in the accounts receivable lines in the balance sheet.

The factoring firm is the institution that is hired to collect the amount detailed in the invoices. The company being factored is the one that hires the firm in order to collect the money. The customer information that is given to the firm, is the one that belongs to those who did not honor the credit they received from the company.

AR factoring improves your cash flow by giving you a percentage of money on funds that were once stuck in accounts receivables. You would not longer need a collection department because they would do that work for you.

Discover How To Choose A Good Dating Affiliate Program

By Thomas Voullemier

As a part of being in a dating affiliate program, your job will be to earn money by advertising their dating site. The dating website is responsible for providing the dating service and maintaining their memberships and will gladly pay you a commission for any new memberships you generate. How much you will make depends on the percentage they agree to pay for each sale and this is different with each company. Be careful though because a few will only pay you after all their expenses are taken out, their net profit. You really want to join a program that will pay you from the price of the membership or from their gross.

Your objective as an affiliate is to send visitors to the dating website that will sign up them up as members. The website will pay you for each new membership that you have generated. How much you are paid is important and there are many choices out on the web so give careful consideration to your choice of a new partnership. It is going to be your work, time and operating capitol so in the end they really need you more than the other way around.

Usually all you have to do to become an affiliate is to join the program by providing them your contact information and agreeing to their conditions and terms. You will then use a link containing your unique ID that will identify you as the affiliate who sends a new customer to them. You advertise the dating site and they pay you when your efforts translate to a paying customer for them, PPS (pay-per-sale).

Some dating affiliate programs offer a PPL (pay-per-lead) payment plan. This is payment for a lead or a person who will sign up of for a trial membership. The payment of this will be much less than for a PPS kind of commission but it has its advantage. To generate a lead, the amount of visitors is much less than is needed to convert the lead to a full membership (sale). So, even though the commission is less, the number of visitors you need to send is less. This makes your advertising dollar stretch further and is a little easier for a beginner.

The PPC (pay-per-click) program is offered by some dating sites. This is a small commission every time a visitor clicks on the dating link or banner you have in your advertising. This will probably mean you get $. 01 per click but it could be as high as $. 10.

No matter which dating affiliate program you choose remember that it is your advertising dollar and your time it will take to generate sales. The commission that you will be offered should equal your investment. When you sign on as an affiliate pay close attention to the terms and conditions that you will be agreeing to uphold.

Look at what you are paid, how you are paid, when you are paid, how much you earn for each sale or click or lead, their membership costs and the volume of customers on their books, the ability to contact them and their customer support, the overall service they provide to their members, their views on spam and how well known they are.

No affiliate program should ask you for money to join, so if they do require you pay them anything, look for another dating affiliate program to join. - 20767

Trading In The Buff

By Mike Reed

This articles is about a new forex course that has garnered a lot of attention lately. It is called Trading In The Buff. The idea behind the course is to teach traders about the concepts of price action. He teaches the method by recommending to all traders that they should get rid of their indicators that they are used to using when trading the forex market.

The course focuses on using price action to spot trends, counter trends, support & resistance, which can be used to predict solid entry positions and the ability to forecast future price movements. The course really focuses on original material, which is a bidg departure from most of the stuff that you get online. Unfortunately with much of the stuff being sold about forex trading, there does tend be some overlapping. As a matter of fact, sometimes it's just blatantly the same material over and over again.

But that isn't the case with Trading In The Buff. There is nothing in the material that I have seen any where else. You can tell that the developer really created this idea, instead of copycatting somebody else's system. There was real in-depth analysis. The course is gone over in incredible detail. The developer, John Templeton really emphasizes every point as he wants to make sure everybody can understand it.

The entire course is presented in an orderly, step by step manner. After all the chapters in the book are read, there is a corresponding video which you watch that delves deeper into the concepts of the respective chapter. It' also very unique in that you also get to learn about the fundamentals. I think the problem with some price action methods, its that many traders can't really explain to others why exactly it works. To give you an example, look at trading candlestick patterns. In this case, you are really just memorizing. You memorize patterns like dojis, but you don't really understand the underlying reason of why it works.

However, you don't have to worry about that with Trading In The Buff. The course does an excellent job explaining the fundamental reasons why these price action patterns work, and most importantly why they work. It's explained in such a way that anybody can follow along. It doesn't matter if you are a newbie or a veteran trader.

Another thing I like about the course is how simple it is. I find that many forex trading methods are almost purposely complicated. For example, take a look at Eliot Waves. On the other hand, though there are many trading methods that are so simple, it's almost insulting, like moving average crossovers. Trading In The Buff fall somewhere right in the middle. It's simple, but it also provide a lot of depth, which is a lot more than I can say for most courses.

They also have excellent customer service. I had a problem grasping one of the concepts of the course and I emailed support about it, and as a surprise to me, I got a reply within the hour with a very well detailed answer to my question. What was even more impressive was that it came from John Templeton, himself. He actually answers his own emails. It's nice to see that, nowadays.

And lastly it just works. Let's face it. That's what it all comes down to, doesn't it? Being a person who has traded indicators for most of his life, I never really gave much thought to what can be found simply by looking at the price. Except for recognizing generic patterns like head and shoulder, double tops and double bottoms, etc.. But I was really stunned as to all the valuable information that was available to me just by looking at a simple bar chart. Now I can't even look at a chart and not notice it. My eyes automatically can scan the price movement and find great entries and exits. - 20767

Manufacturing And Importing Your Product From Asia

By Davina Cruella Sandwich

Organisations have been having their products mass produced in and around Southern China (now recognisable world-wide as the manufacturing capital of the planet) for more years than I care to remember.

The reason for this is that you get a lot more for your money in China than you do pretty much anywhere else because of the exchange rate, a single unit of their currency (Yuan) is worth far less than a single unit of ours.

That is pretty much the main reason that a lot of companies source their products from Asia. I mean, what more reason does a company need to do something if its going to save them lots of money in the long term? But there are some other advantages, and a few disadvantages.

There are only a few advantages, but I still think that they by far outweigh the disadvantages. The main one I have already talked about, the price. For every single GBP you get 11.2CNY (Chinese Yuan), so your money really does go a lot further.

Also, you can get in with the Chinese trading industry, and if you can become known among them, this can be infinitely advantageous. Another advantage is that you will undoubtedly wind up closer to the raw materials you need, hence you save money on that as well!

Now to the disadvantages, one of the main ones is the cost of importing your goods back to your base country. However when you compare the money spent on importing to the money saved on manufacturing, the overall process will still work out cheaper.

Another disadvantage is the shipping time. Now this might be more of a disadvantage as it may actually result in loss of turnover, depending how demanding your market niche is. Also, although the good sourcing companies will ensure that you get the best service, there may be some issues of quality in the beginning as the workers get used to making a new product. As well as the fact that you cant predict the local conditions very easily, financially or otherwise.

To conclude, I believe that the advantages that come with manufacturing your goods in Asia far outweigh the disadvantage. - 20767

Guidelines to Breeding Honey Bees as a Hobby or Business

By Calvin Wapasa

The spring season is one of the busiest seasons for raising and breeding bees. There is so much going on that you have to be prepared for. Of course, proper management has been done during the fall and winter seasons.

There are two things that go on in spring to your bees which is brood rearing and swarming

The process where by young bees are maintained is called brood rearing. In order to maintain young bees pollen is needed. When there is not enough pollen that is stored in the hive, then brood rearing can be effected. In order to avoid this, pollen substitutes should be used.

Swarming is another big issue that may have to be managed as well. Swarming is the process by which bees begin creating new colonies from the colony of bees that are in the hive. Many times the queen bee leaves the nest along with the worker bees in the swarming season.

Being a beekeeper, this can be an important issue because if your colony successfully swarms then this will allow your colony to die. So make sure you don't allow swarming to take place. But this is difficult because the process of swarming is natural.

Two things that you can do to prevent swarming is to obtain a new queen bee that can produce eggs in your colony and never stop or another suggestion would be to clip the wings of the queen bee to ensure that they are unable to leave the colony. - 20767

IT Support And Costs

By Pri Vag

One major factor of IT Efficiency is Cost. Do I go for a pay-as-you-go service that will not cost the earth or do I go for a pro-active support solution that will guarantee that my IT will move forward with my company? The answer to this question may seem to be down to cost however it shouldnt be.

The answer to this question is within another question; How much do I value my IT and do I really want to move forward? Let me explain, if as a Director you can appreciate the power of the Internet and the power of IT you will always want to have a pro-active IT partner in place.

Such a Partner will monitor the Infrastructure on a daily basis, ensure that backups and virus updates have been completed successfully. They will be heavily involved in the IT strategy of the organisation, and will continuously look at technologies that will assist you in not only being efficient & effective but to provide added value.

Ask yourself this question, do you want to have to call your IT partner to tell them that your server has crashed and no-one can work or do you want them to know that it crashed and get onto the problem before you can even pick up the phone? Having to call is a reactive IT partner, knowing it crashed is a semi pro-active partner.

Is there another higher level? Of course, IT partners that have monitoring systems in place that flag any major or minor issues on their systems is the highest level. Generally small minor problems or errors can grow into major problems such as server crashes, email systems failing etc.

The highest level of pro-active support is to use these monitoring systems to resolve issues before they become critical errors. As a business owner/director, do you spend the extra to ensure that you have a fully pro-active IT Partner? Of course you should. - 20767

When you are holding down a job, your time is not your own. You are renting out your time and energy to your employer, and he pays you for what he thinks you are worth. (Which, more often than not, is not much.) However, you can get out of this situation by starting your own online internet business and working at home.

Online Data Entry. Another straightforward position. Often, data entry simply requires that you key in some information into forms that your employer will provide. While some training is needed to get started (and often a joining fee), it is nevertheless a simple job. As long as you can find a good employer, this is one of the easier ways to make money over the internet.

One will find that a serious home based business opportunity is one which allows individuals to make a good living from their self-employment. As opposed to part time jobs from home, one who engages in a serious venture will be able to pay the bills and have money left over to spend on other items as well.

There are many work at home job opportunities which have been attempted in the past yet proven to not be successful. In order to find a new home based business opportunity that works, it is important to consider what business avenues have not been pursued as vigorously in the past. Whether it is a concept that has not been fully developed by other companies or if it is something new altogether, one should pursue a new business avenue so that it is fresh and exciting to the general consumer market.

By keeping these factors in mind, a business owner will be more likely to operate a serious home based business opportunity.

Multiple streams of income is a good idea in the unsure world of internet business.

By giving oneself options a person can make sure they enjoy a steady income. They can avoid being left without any income if a business does not work out.

To get started a person has to build their website. There are many places a person can find help to do this. There are templates that make it super simple to build a professional website.

Professional website building services are actually reasonable priced and may be the best bet for the more technically challenged person.

The Human Animal And Real Estate Investing

By Doc Schmyz

Ever noticed how when you walk in to a book store and find your way to the business or financial books all the views that are expressed in the titles are almost the same??? Almost all of them,in one way or another, call out for a monetary version of bloodshed. I mean the titles are about how you can crush the other guy, or it's not personal its business. Years ago when I got into the real estate investment game I spent hours looking thru the book titles. Trying to find the one book that would teach me how to become a "REAL ESTATE INVESTING GOD" That I knew I could become. After reading most of the popular books of the time I actually would feel beat up over the content. I mean did I have to be a "take no prisoners " type of investor? Did I have to prey on some one else's misfortune?? No, of course I dont. However I did need to learn to take somethings to heart and NEVER let go of them. I had to build my investment suit of armor so to say. So I set out to build a list of my investment rules. We each should have our own set of investment rules. It will help you keep the animal investor inside of you in check. In my case,being that I am a VERY competitive aggressive alpha male type personality I need rules that would keep me "Human". My own set of personal laws that would keep me on the "non- predatory" path. Doc's Rules for investing:

1) Your personal guidelines: Define and follow some personal guidelines. This is the most important rule I have. These guidelines define the investments I will go after as well as the amount of investment I'm willing to part with to get it. It outlines my investment tactic as well as how I want to conduct my the business of this investment Things to include are: Top dollar amount and lowest dollar amount. Type of investment you want to deal with. Period of term for investment.. Etc etc. (Between you and me I even have a guideline about the amount of time I will work per-day)

2) Remember a family is behind the deal you're working on. Simply put,whoever you are dealing with has mouths to feed. Just because you can get a great deal on a house because the current owner is in a facing some sort of adversity that is causing them to sell below market value, DOES NOT give you license to kick them when they are down. Treat everyone with dignity and respect. If the price they are offering still falls within the personal investing guidelines you have set for yourself ,don't use your position to abuse the seller. If you?re getting the house for .40 cents on the dollar,don't be a jerk and push for .20 cents. Always remember...it could be you in the sellers postion. (This rule DOES NOT come in to play when dealing with a bank owned property)

3) Always ask for what you want. Why can't you ask for something in an investment deal you like, For example. You're looking at a piece of real estate,ask the seller if they would be willing to throw in new carpet to the sale. I met a investor who was looking at a house that had been on the market for several months. When he went to talk to the seller he happen to see a 1954 Merc Coupe in the garage, so he asked if it was included in the deal. The deal eventually closed for the house AND the car. 4) Make bird dogs. I always give several of my business cards to anyone I do business with and offer them a portion of any profit I make from any investments they help me locate. You would be amazed at how many people will help you make money when they get a small part of it. (And if you follow rule #2 you will be amazed at how many of those bird dogs will sing your praises from the highest mountains)

These are just some ideas of things to keep in mind when you're working on your investment mindset. These rules have worked well for me over the years,and in more cases then not, have gotten me more return and repeat networking opportunities then I can count. - 20767

Performing a Criminal Records Search

By Nazari Ballarno

Criminal records searches detail a person's record in the court system in their home state. These searches are used by many people to find out about a person's criminal past. They can check fairly easily if the person has had any misconduct in the past. People such as landlords, financial advisors, employers and even people that you date can check on your criminal activity.

You will get different details on your subject (as far as criminal records go) depending on where you start your search on the person. If you do a state search, and depending on the state, you may just get charges that they have been convicted of. If you go to the county level, then you could possibly get details such as the arrest record, charges pending and anything that they have been acquitted of. You need to decide where you start your search and the level of detail you need.

Any charges, such as traffic offenses, will show up on the record as long as they were not taken off or expunged. Speeding and drunk driving will show for differnt lenghts of time depending on where the person lives.

The criminal check will include the date of arrest, whether the person recieved probation or not, the exact citation that they recieved, and what the prosecuting attorney decided to do with the case, drop or pursue it. It will appear on the person's record as an offense if they paid a fine. It will also appear as a conviction on their record.

Criminal records show more than just felony offenses, sexual offenses, misdemenours, and citations show up on the report. Also, twenty years of other information such as telephone numbers, addresses and even marriage records will show up in the report. Court warrants, tax liens (federal and state), any kind of judgements, bankruptcies, and even things such as tatoos that were noticed when the person was incarcerated. The report will also include the person's relatives, any names they have used in the past and even people that they worked for. - 20767

How to Fix Negative Credit

By Chris Blanchet

During these economic times it has become a little more difficult to obtain approval for the credit we seek. A lot of lenders have instated a self-imposed limit on the amount of credit they approve for any given applicant. If you have a sub-par credit rating, that means that obtaining personal credit is not only more of a challenge, but it could be impossible. Luckily, there are some simple tactics you can use to improve your credit score and leave the lender with a more positive impression after making an official credit request.

When it comes time to fix your credit score, there are typically two simple techniques you can use. In the first, you hire a company that will promise to fix your credit. In the second, you take control of the situation and do the leg-work yourself. This second technique saves you money, and it also helps you to maintain a more permanent fix.

So how do you fix Credit? To fix your credit personal report, you need to have a copy of your current credit scores from top credit bureaus, namely Equifax or Trans Union. Examine these reports to check for any error, particularly in the account history and current status fields. Highlight the information that is inaccurate or negative. From these highlighted items, determine which poses the greatest risks to your personal credit report. Arrange the risks in an order starting with highest to lowest. Once the highest risks are known, the next step is to file a dispute with the credit reporting agency. The dispute or disagreement letter should be sent to the credit bureau, which shows erroneous account and it needs to state the reason for disagreement.

You can file a dispute letter for each of the negative and incorrect accounts. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the credit bureau has to complete your account verification in 30 days. They have to inform you about the updates within 5 days after the verification. If the bureau fails to prove that you are indeed responsible this credit, then the credit will be cleared from your account and your Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores will increase correspondingly. This can help rather quickly.

Not all derogatory credit will be erased from your credit report, but even if you eliminate one or two top priority problems, you should expect to see an improvement to your score. Now what you need to do is really fix your credit for long-term, personal finance reasons. What this means is that after seeing an improvement to your credit report, you need to concentrate on managing the current state of your personal finances properly. This will including preparing a realistic budget and managing your credit properly.

When you endeavor to fix your credit, you should focus on the most negative records first by paying and clearing those debts. Also, place emphasis on any past due revolving or installment credit. Since your FICO score is heavily based on current account status, paying delinquent accounts needs to be a top priority. When you fix your credit you not only improve your FICO, but you prepare your credit for your future borrowing needs. - 20767

Online Accounting - Do You Need QuickBooks Help in Deciding What's Better for My Business,QuickBooks Online Plus or QuickBooks Pro using remote access ?

By Sandor Lenner,CPA,MBA

This article has been written to provide QuickBooks help and to assist a small business owner when considering the advantages and disadvantages of QuickBooks Pro with remote access and QuickBooks Online Plus. It should be noted that a less robust version of QuickBooks Online is available and is offered by Intuit,the manufacturer of the QuickBooks products. That software was purposely not analyzed in this article. We should understand the term remote access before we undertake this analysis. Basically, remote access is data communication between a local and remote location and the ability to remotely access such data. Today, its sometimes called a Virtual Private Network. There is also the term, remote desktop which generally means the ability to have a graphical interface shown on a local computer, while a remote computer is in another part of your office or another state,country or world. The definition of online accounting is the ability to process accounting information through the World Wide Web. Now that we have an understanding of the remote vs. online accounting,we can provide some QuickBooks help by comparing and contrasting the differences in two typical small business accounting QuickBooks products,- QuickBooks Pro and QuickBooks Online Plus.

Remote access with QuickBooks Pro allows you to remotely use your desktop QuickBooks Pro accounting program and data while the data is maintained on a networked server in a different location. Accessing QuickBooks Online Plus is similar to pressing a shortcut button for any internet application. QuickBooks Online Plus is a web enabled software application providing many useful online accounting features and functions. An important disadvantage is QuickBooks Online Plus's inability to handle inventory. For companies that have inventory, this drawback is critical and for those companies that do not have inventory the drawback is not important. The advantages and disadvantages of QuickBooks Online Plus as compared to QuickBooks Pro is analyzed below.

The advantages of QuickBooks Online Plus as compared to QuickBooks Pro with remote access are summarized and ranked by level of importance as follows:

1. You can can connect different departments, offices in multiple locations or even your home as long as you have WI-FI. You do not need a wired network

2. The monthly cost includes your accountant and no more than 3 simultaneous users. If you want 25 more users its about $3 per user per month

3. The Intuit servers back up each day off site

4. Intuit includes automatic software updates and support with the monthly fee

5.To use the software, just click on your QuickBooks Online Plus shortcut on your desktop

The disadvantages of QuickBooks Online Plus as compared to QuickBooks Pro with remote access are summarized and ranked by level of importance as follows:

1. Does not handle inventory and purchase orders, this rules out retail, manufacturing and distribution type companies from using QuickBooks Online Plus

2. Cannot process multiple currencies

3. It does not provide multiple QuickBooks window functionality within QuickBooks Online Plus

4. There is no dashboard or company snapshot

You can even outsource some of your bookkeeping and online accounting functions with QuickBooks Online Plus, as long as you establish a system to check and monitor the outsourced employee(s) work. Also by using a typical web based sign-on for QuickBooks Online Plus, you can have simultaneous access from any location, which allows owners, employers, investors to share,collaborate,communicate, and make timely and informed decisions, since everyone receives in real time the same online accounting information. Now, your accountants can provide QuickBooks support by reviewing your QuickBooks online accounting financial data with QuickBooks Online Plus,from anywhere as long as they have internet access. There is no time waiting for them to get back to their office to answer your questions.

QuickBooks Online Plus's small business accounting advantages outweigh its disadvantages of using QuickBooks Pro with remote access, as long as you don't have inventories in your business or you don't transact or conduct business in multiple currencies,then my preference is for QuickBooks Online Plus to handle those companies with small business accounting needs.

As you can see,this analysis did not consider any computer performance processing ramifications. It will be the subject of another topic. Nor does it consider or assess the abilities of your employees in performing their daily accounting activities for each significant online accounting processes i.e. invoicing customers,recording deposits,paying expenses,etc.. Notwithstanding the recommendations herein and prior to making any decision its important to consult with your CPA or accountant for QuickBooks help to perform a needs analysis to determine the best accounting system for you. - 20767

A Wireless Hidden Camera Provides Safety, Security

By Steve Thibeault

A wireless hidden camera is becoming an important part of many homes, particularly among people who have caregivers or other hired help coming into their homes when they are not there. The surveillance mechanism provides people with peace of mind and also gives them documented proof of serious problems that may be occurring in their absence.

Whether in the workplace or in the home, a wireless hidden camera has many benefits. The surveillance devices now come in a variety of sizes and shapes and have comprehensive video recording capabilities. Use the camera to monitor theft problems, any dishonest employees or other security concerns.

Its amazing how technology has advanced when it comes to personal surveillance. These days, devices are so tiny that they are often missed by the naked eye. You can move these products to various locations, from room to room, or whereever you need and they are extremely easy to install. You do not have to rely on VCRs or a DVR to view, simply connect to the Internet.

A wireless hidden camera gets its name from the manner in which it is used. A small board camera is installed into an everyday item which is then placed in a room or other location. Once in operation, the camera monitors everything it sees and sends a signal to a viewing or recording device where it can be watched in real time or at a later date. The beauty of the device is that there is no way of anyone knowing a camera is hidden in the item.

Some common items that can be purchased with a wireless hidden camera installed are an AM/FM alarm clock radio, baby monitor, boom box or CD player, cordless phone, desktop speakers, motion detector, tissue box, smoke detector, wall clock, vanity mirror, thermostat, EXIT signs in stores and outdoor lights.

A wireless hidden camera is more flexible than a conventional one. This item transmits video signal to a receiver, rather than being hardwired to a DVR, VCR or other recording device. A built-in transmitter automatically sends an electronic video signal to a receiver, which is in turn connected to the recording device.

All wireless devices are governed by their transmittal frequency. A signal is transmitted from one location to another within a frequency and there are a variety of different ranges. FCC approval is required for devices that use certain frequencies. An example of a wireless frequency is 2.4 GHz, and this has a range of 200 to 700 feet, depending on weather and environmental conditions.

Many homes and businesses have a wireless hidden camera in more than one room or location. This enables owners to monitor multiple areas at one time. By installing the same number of receivers as cameras, the images can be viewed at the same time in a split screen setup. - 20767

How Is Business Bookkeeping Different From Accounting?

By Wade Henderson

Accounting and Business Bookkeeping are frequently used interchangeably when in fact bookkeeping is only a part of accounting.

It is understood that business bookkeeping is the processing of registering transactions in the books. It means taking the numbers that represent all the transactions involved in the daily activities of a business: cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and taxes paid. Other more complex recording of assets and liabilities are done through business accounting.

Business Bookkeeping is only a part of Accounting, the latter also implies the analysis and interpretation of the data gather through bookkeeping and which later is present in a more detailed way.

With the creation of software for accounting, business bookkeeping has become obsolete, since the system is responsible for delivering complete information that is ready to be interpreted and analyzed.

Accounting is a tool for analysis and interpretation of information from the company, and each day becomes more and more important at the level of senior management. Accounting, as opposed to business bookkeeping, is the basis on which decisions are taken by economic and financial managers.

Accounting allows companies to create elaborate analysis of transaction and identify negative patterns in their operations in order to strategically solve those issues.

Then, do we really need bookkeeping? Business bookkeeping is provides a way for companies to record, develop, prepare and organize the ins and outs of a business so that they are available for further review.

Business bookkeeping helps accounting to record in chronologic order all the transactions that a company has on a daily basis. The books show a picture of what the business was doing, when, and how much it cost. This information can be later classified, organized, and used for whatever the company deems useful. - 20767

Gas Panels Improve Worker Safety

By Mark Dennehy

Gas cabinets house and dispense dangerous gaseous production materials, adding safety to the workplace environment. Depending on the specific types of gases being used, a gas cabinet will typically contain a sprinkler head, a gas sensor, excess pressure sensing, excess flow sensor, as well as automatic operation with automatic purging.

The design and specifications of gas cabinets are determined by a number of different governing agencies, including the Uniform Fire Code, the Compressed Gas Association, the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Institute, and the National Fire Protection Association.

The choice for the right type of gas cabinet depends on the specific needs of your industry. For inert, non-toxic and non-reactive gases, a manual gas cabinet will do. For less reactive or toxic gases, a semi-automatic gas cabinet works best. A fully automatic gas cabinet should be used for toxic, reactive and corrosive gases. An auto-changeover gas cabinet is useful to provide an uninterrupted flow of gas.

Because a properly functioning gas cabinet is so crucial to the safety of the workplace, cheaper brands should be avoided. Always go with brand names that have proven themselves in the marketplace. Air Products and Praxair, for example, are both well respected in the industry for their gas handling products, especially gas panels.

Standard gas panels should be fabricated from 316L stainless steel for maximum safety, ideally fabricated with non-electro-polished internal finishes. A good gas panel will feature a modular layout design, orbitally welded construction, pigtail and cylinder fittings, as well as stainless steel rear panels with front mounted component standoffs.

Small businesses can economically benefit from the bulk purchasing powers available through a larger distributor of gas products. When you work with a larger, extended company that purchases gas surplus equipment around the word, you enjoy the utmost savings available through their bulk purchasing power that would otherwise never be available to a small company. It's an ideal way of cutting costs and getting the best price possible. Really, it's what makes it possible for smaller companies to compete against the big guys in the first place.

When purchasing surplus equipment, always be sure that it has been decontaminated properly. All systems should be professionally decontaminated, decommissioned, purged and pressurized prior to removal. Always store the equipment in a controlled environment.

Any gas cabinet you purchase should be constructed of the proper materials to safely handle the gas you are storing. 11-gauge steel is usually best as it provides sturdiness on top of a half-hour or more of fire protection. For poisonous gases, it's always best to include an access window that allows the cylinder valves to be closed without having to open the door of the cabinet. - 20767

Hong Kong Domestic Helpers: The Key To More Convenient Living

By Alice Sy

A lot of people these days realize the benefits of hiring Hong Kong domestic helpers. For them, the convenience of having a hired help in the home far outweighs the monetary cost of maintaining one.

In the United States, the basic cost of the services of domestic helpers is very high; thus if you are not rich or powerful enough, you will not be able to afford one. The services of domestic helpers in Hong Kong, though, are much cheaper, therefore even the middle class families are able to enjoy having a full time help around the house.

Although the pay rate of domestic helpers in Hong Kong varies among employers, in general, the rate should not be below US$ 470 or HK$ 3,580.

Other than that, Hong Kong domestic helpers should be given a one day leave from work every week, food allowance of US$ 65 or HK$ 500 every month, medical and dental services, as well as sick leave with pay. After a year of service, they can also have a seven-day paid vacation leave.

If you are considering of employing the services of Hong Kong domestic helpers, one of the best ways to look for someone you can trust is through word of mouth. The best recommendations often come from family members and close friends, so you should consult them first if they know of anybody who can work for you. Others ways by which you can find a domestic helper are through the notices being posted in Supermarkets or Clubs, and certain manpower agencies.

Then again, even if the Hong Kong domestic helper is highly recommended by your best friend, you still need to exert effort in verifying her identity. Conducting an interview is necessary so you can find out for yourself if the domestic helper you intend to hire the services of has a valid working visa, has the ability to cook, has a health problem, is good with children and pets, and so on.

In cases when you are hiring the services of a domestic helper in Hong Kong specifically to take care of your kids, you should be pleased to know that there are many health institutions and hospitals that are offering child care courses for domestic helpers. This means paying extra money, then again, you can have the assurance that your kids are safe under the care of your hired help.

With a domestic helper, you can do so much with your time; thus it is safe to say that with Hong Kong domestic helpers, you can live in total convenience. - 20767

The Delights of Working at Home!

How To Online Movie Rentals

By Pire Eubanks

You can jump down if you just want the movie reviews. Search engines are great. Type something like "Download New Release Movies", or type in "Online Movie Rental Canada" and you will find sites that are related to your search. Typing in "Movie Rental Software" will get you even more sites to look at.

Airplane: Extremely ludicrous spoof of Airport-type with a continuous amount of gags that keeps up almost to the end. Our top choice: the bizarre plight of Lt. Hurwitz. Stay tuned through the very last credits. Cast includes Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Robert Pile, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Leslie Nielsen, Loma Patterson, and Stephen Stucker. (100 minutes, 1984)

300: 300 tells the epic tale of the Battle of Thempylae. The Persians have come by the thousands to take over Greece. When asked to simply give up, and receive power and riches, the Spartan leader refuses the offer. Instead, he and 300 of his best men stood against the whole of Xerxes army, and kill thousands before finally being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of the attackers.

Above and Beyond: Above and Beyond is a gripping recount of the story of the men who dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima. The movie puts the burden of what they did in perspective though the eyes of these men. Stars Robert Taylor, Eleanor Parker, James Whitmore, and Jim Backus. (1952 Military)

Just a Gigolo: Extremely fascinating cast is chief enchantment of odd melodrama featuring Bowie as Prussian battle vet who floats from job to job in Berlin before' ultimately finding his real hailing. Dietrich, in her last film appearance, pops in long enough to croak the .title melody; Rome's vigorous performance gives lift to choppy film that probably made more sense in primordial 147 Cast includes rendition discharged in Europe. Cast includes David Bowie, Sydne Rome, Kim Novak, David Hemmings, Maria Schell, Curt Jurgens, and Marlene Dietrich. (105 minutes, 1979)

Cry the Beloved Country: Easy going back country pastor voyages to Johannesburg looking for his child, when destiny links his road with that of a prosperous, bigoted white landowner. This heart rending tale journals the racial divisiveness at its roots in South Africa, without resorting to preaching. Cast includes Canada Lee, Charles Carson, Sidney Poitier, Geoffrey Eager, Reginald Ngeabo, and Joyce Carey. (111 minutes, 1951)

The Admirable Crichton: An often filmed James Barrie classic that is a bit boring. The flawless servant demonstrates to be most industrious while he and his aristocratic administrators are shipwrecked on an island. Kenneth More, Diane Cilento, Cecil Parker, Sally Ann Howes, and Marrita star. Directed by Lewis Gilbert (1957-British Adventure-94 minutes)

Far and Away: Scrappy, mud-meager Irish occupant farmer hooks up, in doubtful style, with the comparably feisty baby girl of a prosperous landowner, and together they cruise for America to seek their final fate in the 1893 Oklahoma land hurry. Superlative automobile for Tom and Nicole, who are both attractive and involving; complication is a drastic absence of tale to fill the eases between quarrel scenes. Cast includes Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Thomas Gibson, Robert Prosky, Barbara Babcock, Cohn Meaney, and Rance Howard. (140 minutes, 1992)

The Senator Was Indiscreet: Humor-playwright Kaufman's only directorial fling turns out relatively well, with Powell as Senator whose notebook causes embarrassment. Cast includes William Powell, Ella Raines, Peter Lind Hayes, Arleen Whelan, Ray Collins, and Hans Conried. (147 minutes, 1974)

Presumed Innocent: D.A. Rusty Sabich has been accused of murder. His former lover, and co worker in the D.A.'s Office, has been murdered, and the evidence points toward him. He now must figure out just whom the murderer really is to prove his innocence.

Try a search phrase something like "Rent DVD Movie Online". If a search does not yield a good result, try different searches. You might find what you are looking for with a search like "Movies To Download". - 20767

How To Decide Where To reside

By James K Blunt

Whether you are relocating to a new city, or just to a new area in the same city, there are some vital things that you should think before getting a place to reside. It is not only the homes that have to be weighed for pros and cons, but also the localities in general. It must be measured that nothing is left out and you are completely sure about the qualities of your decision regarding where you wish to live.

The first thing that you need to consider about a place to live in is the locality, and the choice for home comes after you have short-listed your choice for locality. The first and foremost thing that should be considered about the locality is the time it will take you to get to your workplace from that location.

Also, the detachment of your children's school or college should also be kept in mind spaced out from the distance of your work place from the particular locality. The existence of day care centres is another important consideration in case you have children of age who might require day care facilities. This is because the time to commute to work and school plays a very crucial role in where you decide to live. The other noteworthy consideration is about the availability of the requirements and facilities like shopping and public transportation.

While choosing the locality, the neighbourhood and the kind of people living in it should also be kept under consideration. After making sure that the necessary shopping facilities are available and all the important resources would be within easy reach, it is important to consider the availability of protection against fires and any other such accidents.

Getting information about different localities and neighbourhoods always comes in very handy and you can always use it to make the best choice. The availability of first aid and other medical facilities in the form of a good medical centre is also very critical.

The intensity of traffic on the road and main road near by is also worth taking into relation so that you are convinced that there are no traffic hazards existents in the area where you are living. The parking facilities should be reasonable and should go well with your desires.

When analysing the home for living, it is imperative to make certain that there is sufficient confidentiality presented by the house, and that it roomy enough for you and suits your needs. The number of rooms and the fittings in the house must also be apposite. The land should be well drained; sanitation facilities and the landscaping should be done suitably.

The taxes and charges that you would be requisite to pay should also be measured, and the house should have a tax rate and worth that suits your financial statement. You should also make inquiries about whether or not you would be required to pay for any exacting assessments. The surrounding of the house in terms of smell, smoke, dust or other natural factors should also be measured. - 20767
