After cleansing, follow up with a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide. This will help significantly reduce the number of acne breakouts you have.

These are just a few of the many adult acne cures that are available.

Importance Of Corporate Gifts In A Sluggish Economy

By Zach Jones

The fate of any business enterprise is determined to a large extent by a strong relationship with its clients. If the customers are satisfied and continue to return for services, the company's chances of successfully enduring bad economy improve greatly. Corporate gifts almost always succeed in their task of keeping the customers happy and satisfied. These gifts, which may cost the company a very small amount, will ensure that the customers remain satisfied, making it an excellent option even in times of recession.

The receiver of the gift should be an important factor when selecting a corporate gift, as his or her liking the gift is the single most important aim of the whole exercise. The gift may be attached to a promotional undertaking, while introducing a new product, or simply given at regular intervals to keep the client in a good spirit.

The gifts could be as varied as coffee mugs and timepieces to more expensive ones like a bottle of high quality wine. The gift could be embedded with the company's logo to ensure that it remains in the memory of the receiver for a long time.

Consider a gift that gives when you are considering about corporate gifts. More and more people are changing to different ways of thinking and want others to gain. Buy1GIVE1, KIVA and Change The Present are organisations that can offer gift value to your clients and staff. Check Buy1GIVE1 out at www.b1g1.com.

However, it is very essential to check the quality of the gift because it represents the name and reputation of the company. A corporate gift is a sign of gratitude, and a sub-standard gift that disappoints the customer will naturally instill mistrust regarding the company. In a depressed economy where the customers are always on a lookout for better deals elsewhere, it is of even greater importance not to give them any reason to feel dissatisfied with your company.

Corporate gifts showcase qualities that make them a powerful and great marketing tool. Even though they can behave as a double edged sword if used inappropriately, but by exercising a little caution, they can perform miracles for a business in periods of recession.

Law Bans Biker Colors In Bars & Restaurants. Is This The Last Straw?

By L.J. James

There is a new law in Virginia that will ban Motorcycle Club Colors in Bars. The law, originally aimed at Street Gangs, is causing quite a stir with Virginia Bikers. The law states that Bar & Restaurant owners will lose their liquor license if they allow patrons who wear "gang" related attire such as Club Logo's or Colored Bandannas.

These sort of "grey area" laws are extremely dangerous and a threat to everyone's freedom. Who decides what constitutes "Gang Apparel"? I'm wondering if Boy Scouts are going to be able to eat together at Applebees if they are in their uniforms.

According to news reports, many Bikers and Motorcycle Club Members in Virginia have already begun fighting this law. If a law like this is allowed to stand in Virginia, it won't be long until it is passed in other states across America!

We as Motorcyclists and Bikers (It does not matter what you call yourself) have to realize fast that we are all connected. It doesn't matter what you ride, what State you live in or who you Support, we're all in this together. What effects Me effects you and it doesn't matter what you happen to think of me.

When the local Bar you and your Brothers love hanging out at is told that you and all other members of Motorcycle Clubs can no longer go there or they will revoke the Bars liquor license, What then?

This is no Joke my Biker Brothers, every month there is another new law that is aimed not only Motorcycle Club Members, but all Americans. It seems that every time the Government wants to take away a freedom, they find a way to craft a new law for our "safety". What kind of Country is this turning into when you can't wear what you want and suddenly, your constitutional right to assemble is taken away from you?

Although there are many ignorant people out there that believe Motorcycle Clubs are Gangs, that's simply not the case. Most Motorcycle Clubs are made up of hard working, honest, law abiding, patriotic, American Citizens who enjoy a common bond, Motorcycles. It's what is in a persons heart that determines who they are, not the clothes they wear.

In the past year the government has taken away the Colors of one Motorcycle Club. A law enforcement officer can demand anyone sporting the Clubs logo to forfeit it. The theory is that the loss of the logo strips the club of its "gang identity."

Grant it, it appears that some of the Clubs members may have been involved in illegal activities, but that doesn't mean that everyone who rides a Motorcycle should be punished for it. In fact, less than 10% of this 600 Member Club was even accused of wrong doing.

In addition, the Government and law enforcement agencies have been spending millions of our dollars to influence friends and ex-members of Motorcycle Clubs in an effort to infiltrate these clubs in hopes of catching members doing something illegal. Often, when they find that the Club they've infiltrated is nothing more than a group of Patriotic, Law Abiding Men & Women, they'll fabric wrong doing so that they can justify the enormous amount of resources spent on these Fishing Expeditions.

Just imagine how much better off we'd all be if they used those resources to investigate the Corrupt Politicians, the Corporations that control our Country, Wall Street, and the other issues that are quickly sinking this great Nation.

What I want to know is, what will be the last straw? What's it going to take for us to say enough is enough? We can not fight these Laws and Fight each other at the same time! We need to work together to save what we are, who we are.

The Government has taken away our rights to ride the Motorcycle we want, to wear what we want and now to go where we want! Why are we still fighting each other? When are we going to wake up??

The Advantages of Stock Keeping

By Alan Lim

In any countries where cranes are imported for industrial work as well as ship cranes and mobile cranes and also other types of offshore cranes, hence making crane spare parts available is very important. This would include these well-known names in the crane industry such as Kobelco parts, Nissan Ud parts and Tadano spare parts should be imported for numerous reasons. For one as mentioned before in countries that use cranes of the identical company those same crane spare parts as an example Nissan Ud parts where those cranes are imported themselves would require spare parts for cases of emergencies. For example if in a country where there are Kobelco cranes imported, Kobelco parts will be pretty much in demand.

The reality is that cranes like every other machine always face the probabilities of malfunctioning because of some kind of a part which is not functioning in the manner that it is supposed to, then spare part is required. Tadano spare parts may not always be required on a daily basis, as good crane companies would sure not build and sell cranes that aren't excellent quality, however there's always room for error. This can be one of the foremost reasons why imports of spare parts like Nissan Ud parts are necessary. Not only brand new cranes need spare parts however most significantly older cranes require those spare parts.

The prime difficulty with crane spare parts and particularly with such global corporations as Nissan Ud parts is that they wouldn't have their manufacturing factory in most countries of the world although they ship their cranes across countries. For the sake of quality and for the sake of utility these cranes are imported by several countries around the world although they're not manufactured in those companies. The following result of that's the smaller items like the spare parts of the cranes such as Nissan Ud parts or Kobelco parts or Tadano spare parts is that they have to be ordered on-line or through mail and then they have to be shipped in to the country. Cranes of course are used for various vital industrial reasons and ordering plus waiting for the spare parts to turn up may put a hamper on the business leave alone the fact that there are always an additional costs charged due to of the shipping purposes.

But if as a company you are able to purchase and store these spare crane parts of most well-liked crane corporations such as the Tadano spare parts or the Nissan Ud parts or even the Kobelco parts then it'd provide you a good business chance to supply to those firms who need spare parts immediately to replace their crane's part. Rather than waiting for a long time after placing ordered for the spare parts the majority companies would rather order them locally from your import company for convenience sake. We do need to research and analyse which crane company's spare parts would sell most, then only you'll be able to import those.

However if as a company you are able to import and store the crane spare parts of most well-liked crane companies like the Nissan Ud parts or maybe the Kobelco parts then it might provide you an excellent business chance to supply to those firms who require spare parts urgently to repair their cranes. Rather than waiting for a long period after having buy for the spare parts from most firms would rather order them locally from your import company for convenience sake.

Can Making Dreams Come True Be As Easy As Brushing Our Teeth

By Masami Sato

Can't making dreams come true be just as easy? Can't we free ourselves of our doubts? Is it not possible? How can we do it in a way so that it looks as easy as brushing our teeth? This is an excerpt form the book named ONE by Masami Sato and it shows how it can be done step-by-step, getting one ready to start walking towards one's dreams today.

Every one of us has dreams. But every one does not have faith in themselves to have and live those dreams in their own lifetime. In reality, the secret of having such assurance is simple. The reason for our doubting it so much is also clear.

Let us start with the first question that can be asked to us..

Why don't we do everything we always wanted to do?

Our thoughts usually stop us from acting. Sometimes the more we think about something, the less we become committed to achieve what we set out to do in the first place. Because the more we think about it, we tend to come up with more and more reasons for not doing it.

Is it then possible to be sure that we will definitely accomplish what we want to do in our life?

Yes, absolutely! For a start, let's look at the power of habits

If we have an appointment for a meeting tomorrow night, we might not spend too much time worrying whether we can reach there or not. We would not be bothered about the likelihood of having a car accident and not being present at the appointment. In the same way when we walk to the bathroom, we may not worry if the toilet would be broken down.

We are always more assured about these day-to-day activities that happen every day. These are the habits.

However, we are doubtful about our dreams

Interestingly, there are so many things we are not so sure about. Especially the things we really want to do in our life - our Dreams!

So, what is the secret for the assurance that we will realize our dreams?

First of all: Just make it a daily habit!

We can get started by being more confident about our acts meant to meet our desires - the type of dreams that actually fosters our life.

So, for example, if your dream is to give and contribute to society and giving is a key desire in your life, there is no reason to doubt that it's possible for you to contribute to others. It can just become one of your daily habits.

Second: Try to make it as important (and as much easy) as brushing teeth..

Achieving our dreams can be just like brushing our teeth. It wouldn't feel good if we didn't brush our teeth for a long time, would it? We wouldn't spend hours thinking of which toothpaste to use or delay the good feeling of having clean teeth for other 'priorities'. We feel uncomfortable if our teeth are not clean. So we just clean them!

Looking at our example, if giving is what we desire most, then we should ask ourselves a few questions: What if giving is truly as important as brushing one's teeth? What if it is giving us a comfortable feeling? What if it aids in remaining healthy?

Irrespective of how much or how little we own right now, we surely can start offering it and sharing it today. As such, no matter how improbable the realisation of dreams might appear, we can start walking towards them today. We can definitely do, if we see it as a crucial issue, a top priority that we should stick to every day! Then we will be uncomfortable if we do not do it. Just like cleaning our teeth.

and Third: Give first, then we will get back

When we give first before we actually fully have what we really want - what we dream of - we send a very powerful message to ourselves that says, "there is enough, and more will come". It allows us to experience the joy today - the joy of giving.

If you want to be rich, be generous. And you'll be blessed with abundance. If you want to be superbly intelligent, don't be afraid to teach others. And you'll know more. If you want to give, just give selflessly. Do not attach any expectation of return. Just let go. And joy will automatically be rewarded to you. The simple joy of giving.

Do not be scared of sharing and giving what you have, for it will not thwart your plans of achieving your purpose, whatever it may be. It may only help you to fulfil your dreams faster. And your journey there will be one of total contentment.

But are not habits very small, when compared to our BIG dreams?

Just do it, don't worry about the 'scale'

Anything can happen in life. Things may develop in a small way. And these small things might take us to another action, and that will connect to another. The sureness we feel about our actions, and managing them one by one, keeps on taking us forward. But if we think that it is not possible to do something now, just because it is a little formidable, it simply will not happen.

The secret to achieve your dreams has always been here, and will always be here. The people who create miracles, inspirations, and the real sense of joy, already know this. They are always using it.

Dreams and marvels are not accidents. We make them through our options.

So, would you start walking towards your dreams today?

Game Plan For Jobless Recovery

By John Smith

With many positive sign from US companies and from abroad it is abundantly clear that we are at the beginning of an economic recovery. Though the recession may have ended- officially- this is likely to be jobless recovery. In a jobless recovery profit increases but companies are conservative and don't hire back those employees which were cut during the recession. Productivity has increased and technology has allowed also for fewer workers.

Executives have no options because mostly all job categories have been hit in this recession. If you are one of those executive or manager who has lost their jobs or even if you are still hanging by your fingernails - then there are some things worth considering as you contemplate your next career move during a jobless recovery.

Stop being stubborn. Because you may not be able to get a job at the companies that meet your career goals and it may be time to start expanding your job search. Look into similar industries, different locations and even the idea of switching career is a better option.

On the other hand, prioritize your preferences and act accordingly for the likely companies, and stay on their radar. Things always change, jobs open - be in a better position to get the job. Relocation could be one of the options. For years, job seekers have been privileged enough to find jobs in their own backyard, but that idea has to be changed. Looking elsewhere for jobs that meet your career skill and goals is a better option. At worst you can come back home when the employment situations improves. At best, you may enjoy your new job enough to stay.

It is better if you want to start looking for jobs in healthcare, education, government and the environment. Because it is expected to see growth in these sectors in coming years due to a number of factors (i.e. healthcare reform, a push for new green jobs, turnover in government and the creation of new jobs in the industry, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that will pump money into education.)

Going back to home is a good option but this not for everyone. Do not just decide that what you want to become just go straight to school without doing any research. but if you have always wanted to change careers, or go to college or grad school, now may be the best time to do it.

It is good if you don't shy from any volunteer work, internships and part-time and temp work. Because these route will keep you busy during a recession, but it will also help job seekers that they can add skills to their resumes, make contacts in the industry, and offer opportunities for full time work should openings become possible.

Just because we are experiencing a job less recovery, but it does not mean that there are no jobs in the market. It is good if you tap your network and keep making the effort to get in front of the right people. The right referral could lead to a job.

Use Uk Flights To Be Your Personal Travel Businesses

By Selena Hummer

If at all possible, you consider spending your next holiday abroad. Even if it is a long weekend, you should still be able to make it over to France or Ireland to get a chance of scenery. If you can't make it abroad, consider flying to a different part of the country. There are great advantages to traveling during your holiday. You get to see new things like scenery or buildings. You can meet new people and see how they live. You also don't have to worry about your daily chores such as cooking or cleaning because you are staying in hotels and eating in restaurants. So many people like travel these days that many more airlines and hotels have come into being. It also means that the rates of these places have gone down. Today, you can take advantage of the low prices of UK flights and use them to get good prices on hotels and car rentals as well.

Originally if you wanted to book any kind of travel, you would have to look up your local travel agent and go down to his or her office.

They had access to all kinds of deals that normal people wouldn't know about as well as the resources to make all the long distance calls necessary to make your bookings for flights, rental cars, hotels, and even sightseeing tour packages.

Now that everything is on the internet, you can actually become your own travel agent. It is easy to look around at all kinds of hotels and flights and find the best deals in town.

The best way to start out looking is to go to a website that offers deals on flights. Type in your travel dates and find the cheapest flight to and from your destination.

You can simply go to a site that books flights to destinations across the UK and around the world. Book your flight and then automatically the website will give you options for places to stay and rental car companies in the area to which you are traveling.

If you book all together you'll find that your savings can run into the hundreds of pounds. It also means that all of your booking is done all at once. You don't have to worry about finding a place to stay when you reach your destination. You also know that you are saving as much money as you can on your travel while still staying in a nice hotel and being able to do the things you enjoy.

If you aren't too picky about where you want to take a holiday over a long weekend, you might find some great last minute deals if you book as little as a few days before your date of travel. Then you will get discount prices on the seats and rooms that airlines and hotels haven't been able to sell. Just find UK flights that take you to where you want to go and let your virtual travel agent do the rest of the work.

Airsoft Guns Are The Tools For War Games

By Anthony Carter

Airsoft guns are the newest thing in military game play. Many people have switched from paintball guns to airsoft guns. These guns look as realistic as the actual guns that they were modeled after. They shoot plastic pellets that range from 6 to 8mm. Using these types of guns can be relatively harmless, as long as the operating guidelines and safety precautions are followed.

Before purchasing or operating a gun, you should be aware of the laws of the state or country that you are playing in. There is not a place in the world that will require you to obtain a license to operate these guns. However, there are often age requirements to buy a gun. Laws will vary from one jurisdiction to another, so be sure to know what they are.

Some countries will require you to paint the barrel of the gun orange. Painting the barrel orange will let anyone know that the gun is not real. Even if the barrel is painted orange, you still should not display your airsoft guns in public, without a case. And you should always lock your guns up when storing them at home if you have children or children visit your home.

You will also need to care for your airsoft gun the same way that you need if you owned a real gun. Some guns operate by utilizing fuses and a battery; while other guns can operate by using gas or both electric and gas. If your gun is not cleaned regularly, you will take the chance of the gun will not operate properly. If you need to do more than clean the gun, you should take it to a professional technician that normally works with these guns.

One thing that you will need when playing in recreational war guns is a barrel bag. This bag is put over your barrel when the gun is not being used on the playing field. The bag will stop any rounds from hitting anyone should the gun accidently go off. There are also barrel condoms; however, they are not as safe or as effective as the barrel bag.

For those that have never played, you need to know that the games are played on an honor system. Because there are not any telltale signs of being hit, players have to shout out when they feel the projectile hit them. Cheating is a serious offense because most of the players know that cheating can ruin an entire game. If there is a dispute, there are referees in regulated game play that can offer an unbiased opinion.

Electric, gas, spring and hybrid airsoft guns are the flavors that you can select from. If you are in a store, you can ask a knowledgeable salesperson to help you pick out which types of gun is right for you. Most beginners start with a spring loaded gun and work their way up to a more complicated and powerful arsenal. If you can try dry firing the gun to see if you like it and do not go on appearance alone when choosing your weapon.

If you buy the gun style that is right for you and your capabilities then you are guaranteed to have a great time. These guns will definitely help you get that realistic feeling of real war games.

A Glance At The Different Forms Of Cutting

By Whitaker Perrets

Do you ever notice a tombstone with many words on it and ask yourself how it was engraved? Have you ever been amazed by the spatial wonders of a sculpture and wondered how such a thing is possible? One of the most commonly used forms of sculpting and engraving is nothing less than laser cutting technology.

During the nineteenth century, one of the most common forms of sculpting, engraving, and crafting of many objects was the traditional welding technique, in which one would melt the raw materials, whether metal, iron, copper, or the like, and melt them until they became a fine liquid. Once that took place, the liquid would then be placed into receiving vessels where they would cool down and take their final form.

Engraving generally took place in the facility of a welder who would take the raw stone or metal and place it on a metal board. He would then take a chain-saw like machine and carve out letters and imprint them onto the metal or stone. This was the most common form of engraving.

There was, however, an even earlier method used to engrave stones and metals, and that was none other than the classic chiseling method. One would take the stones or large rock and chisel away at it with a metal or wooden pick little by little.

The chiseling method was used commonly for engraving tombstones as well as cornerstones of new foundations of buildings built in the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Today, a new form of engraving and cutting has risen to the playing field because of recent technological advances namely, the laser cutter. Laser technology developed very much with regards to eye and cosmetic surgery and has also been applied to the engraving and cutting of many metals and stones as well.

This laser technology has made its way to the world of sculpting, crafting, and engraving as well, creating one of the most easy to use forms of art creation available today.

In fact, many famous artists and sculptors around the world choose to use lasers as their tool of choice for precision art work. This is because lasers are far superior in precision to many of the other methods previously mentioned here. Even tombstones and plaque engravings are done today with laser cutting technology.

How Corporate Gifts Can Still Be A Wise Investment In A Bad Economy

By Shirley Jones

Clients-company relationships play a decisive role in outlining the growth of any company. If the customers are happy and continue coming back for services, the company's chances of surviving bad economy improve significantly. Corporate gifts never fail to achieve their task of keeping the clients happy and satisfied. They are a cheap way of keeping your client happy, and hence they are appropriate for bad economic times also.

While selecting a corporate gift, the receiver should always be a prime consideration, as the sole purpose of the gift is to please the recipient. The gift may be attached to a promotional undertaking, while introducing a new product, or simply distributed at regular intervals to keep the customer in a good spirit.

The gifts could be as varied as coffee mugs and timepieces to more expensive ones like a bottle of high quality wine. The company's logo may be embedded on the product to remind the customer of it the moment he or she uses the item.

Think about a gift that gives when you are considering about corporate gifts. More and more people are converting to different ways of thinking and want others to benefit. Buy1GIVE1, KIVA and Change The Present are organisations that can offer gift value to your clients and staff. Check Buy1GIVE1 out at www.b1g1.com.

However, it is very important to check the quality of the gift because it carries with it the name and reputation of the company.

In times like these when organizations are facing economic issues and are looking out for cost effective solutions, it is better to avoid making a poor impression on your customers.

Corporate gifts demonstrate qualities that make them an effective and great marketing tool. Even though they can behave as a double edged sword if used inappropriately, but by exercising a little caution, they can perform miracles for a business in times of recession.

Hypnosis - Unraveling The Mysteries Behind It

By Benjamin Cox

Hypnosis and its subset, hypnotherapy, have always been steeped in misconceptions. People either believe them to be falling in the domain of the occult, or don't regard them to be serious scientific pursuits. Some of the popular misconceptions linked with hypnosis and the truth behind them are given below.

Hypnosis has nothing to do with black magic of any kind. Psychology and the other sciences have a critical role to play in the hypnotic method, and it is very easy to acquire and practice. The authenticity of hypnosis is doubted even by people who have seen it working on subjects. They hold that the subjects who have been under hypnosis are mentally not powerful enough to withstand the impact of the practitioner. But this again is a complete distortion of truth. Hypnosis can in fact be successfully practised on people who are mentally tough and are trying hard to resist the spell.

Another belief is that hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness, which again is a big misconception. A hypnotized individual is totally aware of his environment. That person is just in a calm state where the concentration levels are very high and the person can accept suggestions easily.

Some scientific discoveries have stated that only about 5% of humanity is suitable to be hypnotized, which is the third myth on this list. Researchers have come up with this low result because they have used the same hypnosis procedure on all people without considering their individual natures. People differ in their characters and personalities, and thus there have to be different hypnosis techniques to suit the temperaments of different people.

Many people take hypnosis to be a variant of meditation. But while hypnosis is an interaction technique, meditation is all about a mental state and normally has no communication involved in the process. Trance too is not related to hypnosis at all. Just like meditation, trance is a state of mind, and it is not associated with communication in any manner, while the very crux of the hypnosis method is communication.

It is often thought that hypnosis training or hypnotherapy cannot bring transformations in physique or in patterns of conduct of a person. Hypnosis is obviously not magic that it can change the physique of an individual just like that. However, it can propel the body to a better shape through behavioural changes like eating in a controlled manner, and giving up smoking and other addictive habits by ensuring a good amount of of inspiration in an individual.

Hypnosis, and specifically hypnotherapy, can have a significant function to play in the overall welfare of an individual, and not trying them out just because of some false notions is a missed opportunity.

Enhance Your Marketing By Giving

By Don Wong

Knowledge of corporate gifts is much lesser than that of personal gifts, which are given to friends and families by individuals. These gifts, unlike gifts to friends and family, are given to customers or employees to show thankfulness for their patronage or service.

Corporate gifts are normally expensive things and they do not feature any business logo or brand name, as they are not meant for marketing or promotion. However, sometimes corporations also give employees and prospective customers promotional merchandise such as USB drives, pens, key-chains and office utility items that are emblazoned with the business logo.

Just like any other gifts, the choice of a corporate gift also depends on the person to whom the item is to be given. Companies usually like to present personalised and expensive gifts to their key customers, but to their workforce they normally give out a moderately expensive, but useful gift.

The impact of the corporate gift on the rapport with a customer or an employee depends on how expensive the person believes the gift to be. Referring to internal lawyers of your organization before giving corporate gifts is advisable, because in some place the law might forbid it.

It is important to prepare for corporate gift-giving in advance by setting a budget, estimating the number of gifts to purchase, and hunting for volume discounts with retailers. This is obviously more useful in case of gifts to employees, especially if yours is a large-sized company. It is important to ensure that there are sufficient gifts to express your appreciation to every deserving employee.

Offering corporate gifts to employees and clients helps in strengthening the professional rapport, and it is a smart business practice to adopt. Always keep the law and expense related factors in mind.

Why You Might Need Diabetic Shoes.

By Wilkie Deforrest

Diabetes is a chronic illness in which your body cannot process the sugar intake. Normally when you intake sugar, your system breaks the sugar into glucose, which then circulates around the body waiting to be absorbed by cells. In a diabetic person, this absorption by cells does not happen. The result is that blood sugar levels in the body become high. This leads to several complications. One of the complications experienced by a diabetic person is problem in their feet. Let's take a closer look at how diabetes affects you feet.

B1G1 - Global Giving Partnering Businesses With Charities

By David Anttony

Buy One Give One (BOGO) is the home of transaction-based giving.

STOP. Take a breath. And imagine you were part of a world where every single transaction made a key difference.

Imagine, for a moment, you purchased a television, and automatically a cataract-blind person got the gift of sight. Automatically. Or imagine if today you purchased a cup of coffee and someone in Africa got access to clean, pure water as a direct result. Again automatically.

It's all happening right now. Already Buy1GIVE1 (B1G1) has become a true global giving 'village', bringing together businesses, their customers and worthy causes in a way that's never been done before.

It's happening globally, every second, every day and in every way with a staggering 556 projects already underway and making a difference.

That's because in the Buy1GIVE1 world, every single sales transaction, be it buying a beer in Jamaica or renting a car in Reno (and everything in between) gives back in a well-defined, resonant and measurable way.

Nowadays, when both corporations and charities have seen a decrease in gains and donations, cause-related marketing seems to really be catching on. Cause-related marketing is a business scheme involving a partnership between a company with a product to trade and a charity with a cause to advance. Unlike "corporate philanthropy," which merely involves a company making a tax-deductible charitable contribution, cause-related marketing benefits both the company (by helping to increase sales, and therefore, profits), and the charity (by bringing in donations and calling attention to the cause.)

You buy a book, a tree gets planted. You dine out, a child is fed. Buy One Give One - simple. The list is endless and the giving simply happens automatically, every second, every day and in every way.

And it is beautifully simple. Buy1GIVE1 is now becoming a global movement as more and more businesses jump on board and enjoy the incredible benefits of transaction-based giving.

In Buy1GIVE1, they make the stronger point that in all cases, the consumer is simply not involved in CSR initiatives on a daily basis. Buy1-Give1 generates solutions to that and it does it every second, every day and in every way.

Tips For Your Wedding Event

By Jude Smith

An event photographer is someone who you want to photograph your wedding. You will want them to posses a few qualities such as style, motivation, experience and good communication. Event photographers will only possess these qualities if they are well trained, so make sure they have experience so they can focus on what you want.

There are different styles for every event photographer. Your ideas about your wedding should coincide with the photographers style. If you don't you could up with a horrible experience. Every event photographer will have a different style. Traditional and wild are two extreme styles of photographers. Photos of the bride and groom, and the wedding party are examples of a traditional style. Making funny faces and having completely serious faces might be considered a wild style.

An event photographer should be highly motivated, try to find one who is. You do not want to have someone who is inactive and sitting around missing all the good pictures they could be capturing. Motivation is not just about wanting to do the job, but finding a way to enjoy it and bring trust as well as good verbal communication to everyone as well.

Over time is the only way an event photographer will gain experience. Make sure you ask your photographer how long they have been in the business, where they attended school and for how long, and who they were employed with before they went into business for themselves (if that is the case). This should help you when making a clear decision on an event photographer. If they are now employed by themselves you can find out what kind of work they produced when they were employed by asking their previous employer. It may be a devious way of getting information but it is better to find out then to have horrible pictures produced.

Being relaxed around your event photographer will make things go smother. And they should try to make you feel comfortable and relaxed when around them. Later on at the wedding, this will help them to capture the precious photos. You will see the emotion in the wedding pictures if you are nervous around your event photographer.

Why Go TO Camp

By Jeff Lorenz

Parents who went to Overnight Summer Camp as a child can always tell you a cherished story they still remember in exact detail. To them memories of summer camp are lifelong reminders of experiences with a lifetime's worth of value.

Speaking of value, given our current economy sleep away camp is easily the most affordable summer care choice available. Camp is so much more than childcare. It's a place and time for kids to gain independence, enhance their skills, make new friends and above all have fun. Few places on earth can provide a child with opportunities for continuous nonstop daily fun the way a well-run summer camp can. All of that pure, safe fun would be reason enough want to be a camper, but summer camp offers much more to a child's life.

Healthy physical exercise is a natural part of everyday life for a camper. Camp activities and interaction with nature provide exercise for the camper's intellect and imagination as well.

Summer camp offers a wonderful template for kids to learn the skills of social interaction in a more creative and independent way than school settings allow. Still gently guided by capable adult friends and role models called counselors, campers get an independent chance to apply what they have been taught at home in a larger world.

Campers grow to find and be themselves, in a natural setting that gently challenges a child to newer and higher standards for their own behavior. The kids camp daily context is activities that encourage perseverance, listening skills, teamwork, and the ability to recognize similarities and appreciate differences in each individual. If it's a nature camp or an animals camp, kids get even more opportunities to relate with the creatures of the natural worlds around us. Self discovery can become a habit that lasts a lifetime.

Jeff and Lonnie Lorenz, directors of Wisconsin's Swift Nature Camp for almost fifteen years, believe summer camp is a unique opportunity for dimensional childcare at the best value. The camp experience will add to ordinary child care the making of memories, the opportunity to come to a new place and try new things, the chance to gain skills and independence, and the time to make new and lifelong friends. Children that are Homeschooled really benefit from the experiences of a Homeschool Summer Camp

College Football Flashback: 2008 SEC Championship Game

By Ross Everett

The Florida Gators rampage through the SEC reached its culmination with a 31-20 victory over #1 ranked Alabama in the conference championship game. This victory set the stage for the Gators' appearance in the National Championship Game.

The Gators scored first, taking a 7-0 lead on a three yard Tim Tebow TD pass to Carl Moore. The Crimson Tide quickly answered, tying the score on an eighteen yard run by Glen Coffee and taking their first lead of the game at 10-7 several minutes later on a 30 yard FG by Leigh Tiffin. Florida came right back in the second quarter, tying the game on a Jonathan Phillips' yard FG and taking a 17-10 lead into the halftime break on another Tebow TD pass, this one to David Nelson from five yards out. Alabama regained control in the third quarter, tying the score on a 2 yard Mark Ingram touchdown run and then regaining the lead at 20-17 in the final seconds of the period on another Tiffin field goal. Florida put them away for good in the fourth, however, on a 1 yard Jeffrey Demps TD run followed by Tebows third touchdown strike of the day.

As was the case so often during 2008, Tim Tebow was the big star for the Gators. The junior QB had 216 yards passing with 3 TDs and no interceptions plus fifty seven yards on the ground. Florida head coach Urban Meyer praised Tebow effusively in his post game comments:

"I've had some great players, and I've got some great players on this team. But I've never had one like this. Tim's got something special inside him. I'm not talking about throwing. I'm not talking about running. I'm talking about making everyone around him better. That fourth quarter was vintage Tim Tebow.

Alabama coach Nick Saban wasnt about to argue with him:

"He's a great competitor. He takes his teammates on his shoulders a lot. They have a lot of confidence he's going to make plays, and they play that way. They scored two touchdowns where we had them covered about as well as we could cover them."

According to cornerback Joe Haden the football world underestimated the Gators' toughness:

"Our team is a tough team. The only reason they look past our toughness is our speed. They said we were a speed team and they were a tough team. We're just as tough. We can still be pretty and fast and tough at the same time."

Even in defeat, it was impossible to overlook the remarkable resurgance of Alabama football. The team was only two years removed from a 6-7 record in their last year under Mike Shula. In only two years at the helm, Nick Saban has amassed a'-7 record at Alabama with no signs of slowing down.

21 Questions To Ask Any Guy

By David Web

Questions, questions and more questions! They are the most interesting things that we can ask when we want to learn about someone else.

Dale Carnegie in his best-selling book, "How to win friends and influence people" talks about the power of asking interesting questions to show that we are interested in connecting with someone else.

Have you ever been to a party and you've been the one asking the questions and doing most of the listening? If you have you will probably agree that the other person thought that the conversation was quite interesting - funny that! You probably did less that twenty percent of the speaking but you got 100% of the credit!

If you're a guy and ask some great questions, you will often find yourself jumping to last-base, thus saving yourself a lot of legwork trying to build rapport with her. Asking questions and listening is one of the most naturally flattering things you can do to anyone.

If you're a lady and want to stroke a guy's ego and make him feel good, then just ask lots of questions and then listen to the answers. You will have the guy on a string from there on!

Despite the ego-stroking that can happen, if you ask and listen there is also a genuine side to the picture as well. Because the people who are genuinely interested in someone else and ask great questions are the people who are always popular and well liked. Faking interest is the worst thing you can do. And at the end of the day, if you are not a natural listener then put yourself to the test and practice. You will start to learn SO much about so many things and you will discover parts of people that are just SO interesting to learn about.

Here's 21 questions to ask a guy or girl to get conversation jump-started. They have been written from a female perspective, however just switch them around if you are a guy and want to use them. If nothing else it will get you thinking about your own questions - which are always better.

Printing Services - A History

By Lilith Smith

When it comes to spreading info to a great number of people, print is one of the most popular media. The present form of the printing services industry is a result of years of change & evolution in printing styles & techniques. Today it can fulfill almost any need of the clients connected to printing & its supplementary requirements.

Large volume printing services through relief printing technology began during the--00's when the world's very first printing press was invented by Gutenberg. In this method of printing the printed matter appears raised from the base of the material, like in a rubber stamp. This type of printing has however become a rarity these days, though not completely obsolete.

The industry has seen major transformation in the printing techniques used, and these innovations were most of the times propelled by progress in technology. Modern printing techniques have developed to a great extent, and each method has its own role and function. Most clients are in fact dazed by the abundance of printing choices available to them.

One of the most popular printing techniques in the market today is offset printing. In this technique, the image is transmitted onto paper from a metal plate on which the matter is first printed by the use of limited amount of ink. This method is best for bulk printing, as it is both quicker and cheaper than other methods in the market.

Other printing techniques that have evolved with progress in technology are electrostatic printing, which resembles photocopying, and thermal printing, which follows a procedure of selective heating of layered thermal paper.

However, digital printing is the newest printing method that is drawing a lot of popularity. As is evident from its name, it includes image development and manipulation on a computer, and then this computer generated image is eventually printed after review. This method is flawless and quick, but it is appropriate only for a restricted number of prints. As this method allows each print to be modified it has resulted in some novel uses like computer form printing, where documents like invoices and receipts are printed on a standard layout but with differing contents for each customer.

Another vital development in printing has dawned with the advent of the internet. Printing service providers have their commercial websites that clients can visit from right inside their homes or offices and register orders after seeing online printing samples.

Printing has always taken quantum evolutionary leaps with the progress in technology. The good news is that this trend of progress is going to continue in the future too, ushering in positive advancements to enhance efficiency and lower costs.

Manifest A New Life Using The Cosmic Ordering Service

By Gina Daad

Due to the publicity surrounding the cosmic ordering service over the last year or so, more and more people are becoming aware of the fact that it is actually possible to order whatever you want from the universe and it will provide it.

It seems that everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon now that so many celebrities are vouching for it. The question remains though, what are your chances of success as an average person?

In fact theoretically it works for everyone, but people who have not been successful do not realize that they are subconsciously sabotaging their cosmic order. You see whatever you think will happen really does happen!

Everyone has the right and the opportunity to use the cosmic ordering service. The system brings whatever you desire. Some may say, I didn't desire to be ill, to be penniless or unhappy and they are right.

In order to understand this, we need to grasp the fact that the universe only understands positives. If for example, you say you have no desire to be ill; this is interpreted as negative, as you have directed the focus on bad health.

Change that desire around and say I am wealthy in both material wealth, health and happiness. The Universe totally understands the focus of this desire. You emphasize what you want not what you don't want.

Perhaps you have failed here as well and if so, you're not alone. Many people who attempt this, tend to affirm how they are at present, instead of how they could be with a little help from the universe. When you make affirmations, think to the future and how perfect it can be, rather than dwell on the imperfect present moment.

When we first started out in this life, we believed in ourselves. Now, it is only because of nasty experiences we've had along the way, that we've abandoned our self belief.

In a perfect world, a child would grow up with support and knowledge that they deserve all that they want. Instead, children are taught that it's wrong to want a lot. It's bad to receive whatever you want unless you work hard and long hours, and then you also have to have a special reason that you deserve the reward.

Of course, it would be wrong to think you can simply take from others, but on the other hand, it is absolutely correct to believe you can have anything you want. After all, there is enough to go around.

If you look around yourself, be happy for those who have more than you because really, it further strengthens the argument that there is enough wealth for all. Don't begrudge others, because in so doing, you'll only be reinforcing your own negative thoughts, once again directing focus to the negative rather than the positive.

The human brain can move a quark, the smallest particle we know of, simply by sending out waves of energy. This is not theory, but rather a fact which has been proven by modern science. Positive thinking releases positive energy and positive energy, gets positive results.

Changing the way we think and the way in which we have been schooled to believe, is by no means easy but it can be done. Admittedly, in order to tackle this immense task, you'll need all the tools you can find.

These tools, like self-hypnosis, binaural frequency waves and subliminal suggestion and affirmations, shoot past the logical portion of the mind into the belief portion, the subconscious. The help to clear away the old beliefs that stop you from using the cosmic ordering system to get everything that you want.

You can control your destiny by ordering exactly what you want. You have to be strong enough to believe that you'll get it. Use techniques that help you reinforce your belief that the cosmic ordering system gives you everything you desire.

What Are An Undertaker's Responsibilities In A Funeral Service

By Rhea Alvarez

Undertakers, who are also known as funeral directors, are people who are next in importance to the family of the deceased and the clergy when it is about funeral services. These people take care of the preparations of the funeral, right from the beginning till the end. Undertakers have to be ready to work any time of the day and any day of the year without fail, as they have an emergency duty.

Death brings with it myriad decisions, which the grieving family members are not able to take immediately in the face of their great loss. An undertaker acts as an advisor needed to take such decisions. He takes quick and wise decisions about the time, location and kind of the funeral service. In addition to that, the undertaker actually helps you to be able to bear your loss, by merely being there at your service and taking up responsibility of an organiser of the funeral services, which display the love and respect you have for the departed.

The first step in organising any funeral service is to deliberate upon the time, venue and date of the funeral service, so that the same can be communicated to friends and relatives. After this is finalised, the undertaker helps you in bringing the deceased to the funeral home or to the place where he or she is to be finally rested. In case of a burial service, the appropriate coffin in which the body is to be laid is mostly selected by the undertaker.

The undertaker takes care of every detail of the funeral service, including arranging for flowers, transport, luncheon, priests, choir singers, ashes and headstone, and any other detail that needs to be worked upon. All preparations are made by the undertaker after discussing it with the family to ensure that the dead person is truly treated with respect.

Finally, some undertakers even help you in getting the dead from other countries, embalming the body and can also help in conducting the funeral service in another country, according to your need.

Angel Investor Mind Control: Is This Process Real?

By James Scott

Discovering the 'thumbscrews' of investors is crucial to getting them to take action. In over a decade of dealing with global investors there are several elements that I've discovered to be universal truths about the mind of the private investor (angel investor, accredited investor).

When talking to an investor for the first time, it's more important to listen than to speak. It's more important to ask questions than answer them. It's more important to discover their needs and wants than to exclaim your own. Your first conversation with an investor should be all about piercing the armor and finding the trigger points that prompt a reaction that gets to the center of their 'childlike' state.

What I mean by this is, investors, just like anyone else, has insecurities that are rooted in their childhood and what they are outwardly today, is typically a polar opposite of what they are on the inside. For example, an arrogant, chest beater seems proud and obnoxious on the outside but the reality is that they are over compensating for an insecurity that is rooted in an individual or collection of childhood incidents.

Maybe they were made fun of as a child, maybe they're father was verbally abusive, maybe their teachers would single them out in class opening them up to playground mockery. When talking to these individuals it's important to listen to their voice and intonation when the conversation topic changes. Take notes on their psychological adjustments to the conversation. After you feel you have discovered the triggers that induce the 'pleasurable' responses, end the call, and set your second phone appointment with them.

On that second call, you want to have your conversation ready to go using the triggers you found in the first conversation. Play off of those insecurities that you found, become their best friend without being chummy but it is your mission on this call to be the "guy that understand me" to the investor. You want the overall tone of this conversation to have the response from your target along the theme of, "wow, this guy gets me" , "I can see investing in this company".

By using this method and not coming across as 'fake', you have become an investment opportunity and a shrink all rolled into one. You want to be the one person that this investor can lower his guard to because everything he says, you seem to be the one person who understands him at his deepest level. You seem to naturally be tuned into his insecurities, emotions, needs and wants. Sound strange? Try this out on the next investor you talk to, I guaranty you will be shocked with the results.

Collar Pins Can Be Used As Perfect Corporate Gifts

By Albert Price

Presenting a corporate gift is a step towards creating brand awareness and is an essential part of any company strategy. It plays a multi pronged role in an organization and that is the reason why it is so important to choose the correct gift.

Collar pins are colourful, stylish and appealing, and therefore are ideal articles to be gifted in corporate circles. These pins come in creative patterns and can also sport the company's name on them, which adds to their attractiveness. They can even bear the company's message and can be made in the shape of a product the organization deals in or manufactures.

It is their mind boggling range that makes collar pins sought after as a corporate gift for both employees and clients. While the employees feel connected to their organization, the clients feel a sense of belongingness too and relish collar pins as corporate gifts, hence they help in keeping the clients devoted to the company.

Selection of a corporate gift also depends a lot on how much you want to spend on it. The perceptive value of collar pins as effective gift items is much higher than their market price, hence money spent on them is always beneficial. Their utility makes them popular among the beneficiaries and unlike several other gifts that are mere showpieces adorning desks at workplaces, collar pins are carried everywhere. Collar pins are often worn by employees, and their greater use allows higher visibility and awareness of the brand among the public.

The organizations, however, have some important points to remember before they give away collar pins as corporate gifts. Most importantly, they should be sturdy enough to endure repeated use.

Next, the styling of collar pins should be attractive enough to entice the recipients to wear them more often. Excess of colours and absence of symmetry in design of the pin might have a negative impact on people, and hence they must be avoided. The practicality and suitability of use must be stressed during the design of collar pins so that the wearer doesn't face any inconvenience.

Corporate gifts are a good way for an organization to extend its presence among its target audience, as such gifts have great visibility and circulation among the public. Collar pins have all the characteristics to excel at this purpose. They have been used widely by businesses for ages and have always shown remarkable results. Companies that are yet to use collar pins as corporate gifts must not neglect them anymore, or else they will continue to miss on a chance of employing an excellent marketing tool.

One of the most common terminologies used when describing life saving resuscitation techniques has always been:

"In with the good air ... out with the bad."

This directive actually can be rather helpful when it comes to designing a program to be used for smoking cessation. Of course, when it comes to a stop smoking initiative in your own life, you really are quite literally replacing the bad air of cigarette smoke with "good air." However, this life saving mouth to mouth resuscitation is useful and informative on another front as well.

Many experts now agree that a multi-faceted approach to smoking cessation gives you the greatest chance of successfully "breaking the habit." In other words, those people who have enjoyed long term success away from smoking all seem to have one factor in common: These people did not rely on only tool in their smoking cessation plan. For example, they did not just use nicotine patches alone. They used another tool or tools - another product, plan or program - along with the nicotine patch to stop smoking.

The reality is that one step everyone interested in stopping smoking should take is what might be called "the good habit exchange." The fact is that a typical smoker, on any given day, spends what really does amount to a significant amount of time, puffing. In this day and age of extensive no-smoking zones, the smoker actually has to devote a good deal of time just getting to a smoking area, never mind smoking, time and time again throughout the course of any given day.

It is now being shown that smokers who choose to make healthy habit decisions are the ones gaining long-term freedom from the cigarette. As well, they are also finding that they are enjoying life more as their healthy habits become part of everyday routine.

Breaking the habit and replacing it with a healthy habit need not be anything complicated. Instead of having a cigarette, commit yourself to going for a walk instead. Or spend the time sending an email to someone you have neglected. With the time you save not smoking, there are so many little things that we would have like to have done in the past that we now have time for. Replace the bad habit with the good. This, along with an effective stop smoking program, will give the tools you need to quit forever.

How Does Lucid Dreaming Work?

By Trevor Albitt

Lucid Dreaming or Conscious Dreaming is the art of being aware that one is actually dreaming. In simple words, while in dream, you are aware that all the events are not happening in fact, or 'It's Just A Dream!' kind of situation. There is certain amount of control you can exercise while lucid dreaming, which is not the case in normal dreams.

Being able to control the course of your dreams is nothing less than a life-changing, liberating experience. All things that you felt could hold you back in life just melt away and you are in control of every situation.

Is lucid dreaming as straightforward as all that? Is lucid dreaming something which can be experienced by anyone?

In fact, lucid dreaming is not too difficult a task. If you are determined to learn this powerful medium of expressing your inner desires, there are tried and tested ways of achieving this.

You need to know what you hope to achieve through lucid dreaming. Are you after something specific which can help you with other areas of your life, or do you just want to turn your dreams into a playpen of the imagination? Whatever your reason for wanting to learn lucid dreaming, know your goal and be determined to reach it.

Then starts the actual process of learning this art. Firstly, you need to learn a process, called Dream Recall, i.e., recalling a dream you had the previous night. Unless you remember a dream, you can't achieve the stage of lucid dreaming.

This is not going to be an overnight kind of process. You should keep a dream recall register to begin writing down every single detail you can recall of your dreams every day. You will find your capacity for dream call improving as you do so. Try implementing "reality checks" during your dreams to begin training your mind to be alert as you dream.

For a lot of people, hypnosis helps them to prepare their mind for lucid dreaming much more quickly. Sometimes, as few as one or two sessions may be needed to get you being able to recall all of your dreams every day. Once you can do this, you are ready to begin trying lucid dreaming.

When you are lucid dreaming, you may suddenly awake. Don't worry! Recall the details of your dream and try to go back to sleep and continue the dream in the way that you want. When you awake, you may just be surprised! If successful, your dream will have been under your control and your mind will have a new found power.

Another good way of inducing lucid dreams is to wake a few hours earlier than usual, then go back to sleep. The dreams you will have in these few hours are the easiest to make into lucid dreams. You may even find yourself unsure whether you have been sleeping or just thinking to yourself as you lay in bed. Just set your alarm for a few hours early, wake and reset the alarm and then go back to sleep and you will be more likely to have lucid dreams.

When trying to have lucid dreams, it is helpful to become familiar with your sleeping habits so as to be aware of the best times to try for lucid dreaming.

Lucid dreaming can actually help you fight sleeping disorders, like insomnia. Whenever you are struggling to sleep at the normal sleeping hours, you just need to tell your mind that sleeping equals lucid dreaming, and your mind will take care of all the thoughts that are preventing you from falling asleep.

It once was the case that it could take years to learn lucid dreaming; the only way to prepare the mind was meditation, which took a long time to master. A lot of people lack the discipline and would simply give up. New technologies, especially audio technology have made it possible for anyone to experience lucid dreaming.

Binaural audio is one of the most reliable methods of getting people to have lucid dreams.

Binaural beats audio is the playing of frequencies which are slightly different from each other, one in each ear. This causes a feeling of deep relaxation and brings brain waves into the proper state for lucid dreaming.

Before binaural audio technology, meditation was the method of choice for those wanting to learn lucid dreaming, and this was a process which could sometimes take years to master. Many simply gave up, not having the determination to pursue the practice.

Particularly in conjunction with hypnotherapy, binaural sound waves can get your mind ready for lucid dreaming, sometimes as early as your first attempt!
