They use fewer words and have
Posted on July 29th, 2010 by adminThey use fewer words
and have more power. By holding your attention and getting
to the point, they’re more effective communicators.
People listen much faster than you speak. Unless you’re really
holding someone’s attention, the tendency is for their thoughts
to wander to other things. Here’s three things to keep in mind
to help you become more succinct:
1. The Bottom Line
These days, we expect information to be delivered quickly. Younger people, especially, have short attention spans. We
may not like this, but that’s the way it is.
It’s up to us to deliver our messages in a succinct, interesting
and compelling fashion. We have to GET attention, HOLD
attention and make our request or our point QUICKLY.

Merry Christmas everybo… oh, hang on.
Yes, for the benefit of those of you who went away for the bank holiday weekend, Bedfordshire woke up to a fleeting, but very definite, morning of snow on Easter Sunday.
While the best, or worst, of the white stuff had gone by midday, eager Bedfordians headed to Bedford Park to make the most of the weather while it lasted.
The Easter Thunderball at Santa Pod Raceway was postponed for 24 hours because of the unseasonal weather.
More than 20,000 drag racing spectators were expected to see the first round of the National Drag Racing Championships, but the event had to be put off until Easter Monday.
Woburn Safari Park also closed to visitors for a day.

IT IS early on Tuesday evening, and Tam is on his way home from work. He checks his watch. No harm in popping into the local. After all, it’s on the way.
He pushes open the door of the pub he has been drinking in for the best part of three decades, and takes his usual barstool among the usual faces.

To kick off a healthier you, try raw food

After holiday gluttony, many of us resolve to lose weight in the New Year.
Christie Kellogg wants to suggest a new approach to eating for permanent weight loss: raw food.
Kellogg, 41, a Raleigh, N.C., dental hygienist, teaches raw food cooking classes. A raw food diet focuses on eating vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and sprouted greens in their natural state.
In other words, no cooked foods, or “dead” food, as raw foodists call them. Cooked foods, Kellogg explains, have fewer nutrients and enzymes than raw foods.
So why do you need to attend a cooking class when you don’t cook these foods? Well, if all you ate were carrot sticks and salads as part of a raw food diet, you’d give up this diet quicker than you did Atkins, the cookie diet or the grapefruit diet.
In a raw food diet, Kellogg explains, marinating replaces cooking as a way to make these foods tasty while still retaining the health benefits. Her seminars include a one-hour lecture and three hours of hands-on food preparation. Everyone goes home with a soaking chart, 50 recipes and a list for stocking the kitchen.
Kellogg says she started eating a raw food diet about six years ago. She was 20 pounds heavier and lethargic. After adopting a raw food diet, she lost the weight, wore clothes she wore in high school and had more energy.
Kellogg does not believe a raw food diet has to be all or nothing. She believes any amount of raw food in your diet is beneficial. “It’s everyone’s own journey,” Kellogg says.

Expense accounts can assure objectivity

0 Comments | Manawatu Standard; Palmerston North, New Zealand, Jul 21, 2010
The superficial analysis of recent central and local government expense scandals by the likes of Mark Sainsbury, John Campbell, and tabloid media fails to address the up side of expense accounts in fortifying public servants’ objectivity when representing the public interest.
A free lunch, ticket to the rugby or round of drinks is accepted by most with an implicit debt of gratitude attached, which is exactly why hospitality is heaped upon buyers, gatekeepers, influencers, and decision makers by those courting favour.
When we challenge the appropriateness of a minister picking up the tab for, say, a couple of bottles of wine on the parliamentary credit card, we forget the cost of allowing the other party to pick up that tab may prove more expensive for the taxpayer in the long-term.
Whether it is a local publican shouting a city councillor a round of drinks, a property developer shouting a mayor lunch, or a tobacco multi-national dishing out free rugby league tickets to MPs, it is more appropriate for the public to pick up the tab than to leave any question that there is an un-discharged debt of gratitude remaining on the table.
The media would perform more of a public service keeping a steady and vigilant eye on the tabs that the private sector is paying on behalf of those in public office than the nit- picking, tell-tale tabloid obsession with expense accounts we have seen in recent months

Do not go for a
Posted on July 27th, 2010 by adminDo not go for a wheelchair that requires the entire wheel unit to be changed.
? If the wheelchair has already flip-back arms, you will not need a wheelchair with removable arms anymore. Flip-backs will be enough and can already satisfy the user’s needs. ? If you are planning to buy a seat pillow, it can be a factor in adding the height of the user’s seating position.
? A strong frame, arm rests, leg rest and a good brake are some of the important features which you should look for when buying a wheelchair.
Use these pointers and you are assured of the best quality lightweight wheelchair available in the market. Lastly, it is important that you also consider the needs of the person who will use it. Make sure that he or she will be comfortable in using it.

Check your camera?s
Posted on July 27th, 2010 by adminCheck your camera?s documentation to see if it will accommodate filters.
Next you will require an infrared filter. The Hoya R70 infrared filter is one of the best and cheapest to buy, however at around US$40 or more it can be out of the price range for most would-be infrared amateurs ? especially since you still don?t know if the end-product image will be what you want to achieve! If you?ve got the money to spare (or to blow!) then give it a go.
After purchasing an infrared filter, attach it to your camera, set up a tripod outdoors on a sunny day and shoot away! The first thing you?ll notice is that you can either see nothing or very little through the camera eyepiece.
Your camera will be recording images in the infrared spectrum ? not visible light ? so you would expect to see very little light through the filter with your own eyes.
Be aware that adding an infrared filter may have serious effects on your camera?s electronics or lens.
