The Web Is A Great Place To Discover More About Home Businesses

Achieving success at a home-based business is not everyone?s fortune, but don?t let that prevent you from giving it a try. At this time you simply need a computer to create, for a really low cost, a business that you can manage from home. It won?t take much at all. You need a small dose of determination to do the research, and a high-speed, low-cost internet access. A computer-based business has a global reach with unlimited consumers, whereas a traditional business is confined to local custom and has pricey set-up expenses. Everyone in the world with internet access is a potential client.

There are many ways to get your toes wet if you?re really considering a business on the Internet. To make a start you certainly don?t need to be an IT nerd, but being familiar with using a laptop or computer would be useful. Quite often, generating an income online has nothing to do with your technical skills, but with how much you know about the things you like doing. A good example of a web business for folks who are very good at writing would be doing copy writing. Content is often in demand, so a writer could also work on a freelance basis, obtaining writing jobs from individuals who are no good at it. All you need to do is look for those individuals who have a need, such as content, and supply it for them. Write down a few samples of your work and then do a bit of promoting, and you will be in business.

Online auction web sites are another avenue from which a large number of people are making good money. You can acquire items at wholesale value and sell them at full price, or you may already have products suitable for selling online. Getting your product offers looked at by customers is taken care of for you by places like eBay and other online auction sites. Your job is firstly to figure out a price and list your product, then wait for the sales. Once the buyer makes the purchase, you will receive the payment and then complete the purchase by sending the purchaser their merchandise.

Life is getting a lot easier in lots of ways through the advances in technology. The advent of the pc has put ownership of a business within the reach of ordinary folks. The Internet has everything you need to start a business. It offers access to products you can sell as well as information that shows you how to do it. If you could identify a business model that appeals to you and apply it to your own start-up business, that would be great.

Instead of a fulltime business you could just be after another income stream, which the Internet caters for handsomely. Spend a little time on your computer seeking information on starting an online business, and you will find lots of it. Get started on your research and you could soon begin making some cash.

U.S. budget deal talk lifts shares and commodities

The "fiscal cliff" - automatic spending cuts and tax increases early in 2013 unless Congress agrees an alternative - is the biggest risk facing global markets in the final weeks of the year after a deal to help Greece was done earlier this week.

"We are moving towards a phase of gradual improvement thanks to the likely resolution of the 'fiscal cliff' issue in the U.S., a bottoming out of the Chinese economy and the stabilization of the euro zone," said Giordano Lombardo, chief investment officer at Pioneer Investments.

Good demand at an Italian bond sale, where yields fell to their lowest level in two years, added to signs that the euro zone crisis had begun to ease.

The growing optimism spread across world share markets, sending the MSCI global equities index <.miwd00000pus> up 0.6 percent to 330.74 points, its highest level since November 7.

In Europe the FTSE Eurofirst 300 index <.fteu3> rose 0.8 percent with gains of between 0.7 and 1.0 percent posted by London's FTSE 100 <.ftse>, Paris's CAC-40 <.fchi> and Frankfurt's DAX <.gdaxi>.

However, traders said that share markets were likely to remain nervous until a deal was done in Washington.

"One minute the portents for a deal on the fiscal cliff are negative, the next minute they are positive. This is likely to be the pattern all the way up to the deadline on January 1," said Mike Mason, a senior trader at Sucden Financial Private Clients.

"Equities are sure to remain volatile and trading subdued until there is any concrete outcome to these negotiations," Mason said.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is due to meet House and Senate leaders from both parties on Thursday to keep up pressure for a deal with less than a month left to reach a compromise.

RISK FLOWS CHANGE

As investors returned to riskier assets, the other side of the coin was a retreat from safe-haven German government bonds, pushing benchmark 10-year debt yields up two basis points to 1.39 percent

The better tone allowed Italy to auction successfully six billion euros ($7.75 billion) of new 5- and 10- year debt, which was expected to complete its funding needs for the year. The yield on the 10-year bond was 4.45 percent, the lowest since November 2010.

Spain also announced it would sell some more bonds at an auction on December 5, although it has completed raising all the money it needs for this year.

Italian and Spanish debt have benefited in recent months from the European Central Bank's promise to buy sovereign debt if countries ask for aid first. Although that has not happened yet, the prospect of a central bank backstop has made investors reluctant to sell and has pushed them back into those markets.

In the secondary market, 10-year Italian yields were down 6.8 basis points at 4.52 percent, having reached lows of 4.49 percent before the auction. Five-year Italian yields fell 2.8 bps to 3.25 percent.

The fall in Italian and Spanish yields helped to lift the euro against the dollar by 0.35 percent to $1.2997, with the hopes for a U.S. fiscal deal adding to support for the common currency.

The dollar, which had pulled back against the yen in a correction from a 7-1/2 month high, edged up 0.1 percent to about 82.10 yen.

Commodity markets also got some support from the U.S. fiscal deal hopes. Crude oil futures rose $1.07 to $87.56 a barrel, and Brent climbed $1.15 to $110.66 a barrel.

Spot gold was up 0.2 percent at $1,723.51 an ounce although this followed a 1.3 percent tumble on Wednesday, its biggest daily decline in nearly four weeks.

"Gold is being pulled higher on this prevailing optimism over the fiscal cliff," said Ross Norman, chief executive of bullion dealer Sharps Pixley.

How, in the animal world, a daughter avoids mating with her father: Paternal 'voice' recognition

ScienceDaily (Nov. 30, 2012) ? Paternal recognition -- being able to identify males from your father's line -- is important for the avoidance of inbreeding, and one way that mammals can do this is through recognizing the calls of paternal kin. This was thought to occur only in large-brained animals with complex social groups, but a new study published November 30 in the open access journal BMC Ecology provides evidence in a tiny, solitary primate that challenges this theory.

The study, led by Sharon E Kessler, finds that the grey mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) -- a small-brained, solitary foraging mammal endemic to Madagascar -- is able to recognize paternal relatives via vocalizations, thus providing evidence that this is not dependent upon having a large brain and a high social complexity, as previously suggested.

Because grey mouse lemurs are nocturnal solitary-foragers living in dense forests, vocal communication is important for regulating social interactions across distances where visibility is poor and communication via smell is limited. Though the mouse lemur shares sleeping sites with other mouse lemurs, it forages alone for fruit and insects. It is a particularly interesting species with which to study vocal paternal recognition because, in the wild, females remain in the same area of birth and cooperatively raise young with other female kin. Males do not co-nest with their mates or young and provide no paternal care, which limits opportunities for familiarity-based social interactions. Thus, vocalizations are likely to be important -- particularly for avoiding inbreeding.

The research team from Arizona State University and the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover in Germany found that two of the most frequent calls of the mouse lemur were the mate advertisement call and the alarm call. Using multi-parametric analyses of the call's acoustic parameters, they could see that both call types contained individual signatures. Through this, they discovered that only male grey mouse lemur advertisement calls, but not alarm calls, contained acoustic paternal signatures. Furthermore, females paid more attention to advertisement calls from unrelated males than from their fathers.

The findings from the study suggest that the discrimination between mate advertisement calls and alarm calls may be an important mechanism for inbreeding avoidance. This is likely to be highly important in the grey mouse lemur species because males are likely to remain in an area for several years and they can expand their ranges to more than twice that of the female's range, making it likely that adult males' ranges will overlap with those of their daughters from previous mating seasons.

The team also proposed that the mouse lemur's ultrasonic calls above the hearing range of owls could be an anti-predator strategy, especially since the species suffers from high predation.

Lead author Kessler commented, "Given that more complex forms of sociality with cohesive foraging groups are thought to have evolved from an ancestral solitary forager much like the mouse lemur, this suggests that the mechanisms for kin recognition like those seen here may be the foundation from which more complex forms of kin-based sociality evolved."

She continued, "Future analyses will determine which acoustic parameters make this kin recognition possible by artificially manipulating acoustic parameters in the calls and then using the modified calls in playback experiments."

Samsung takes aim at Japanese rivals with Android camera

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung Electronics Co is taking aim at its Japanese rivals with an Android-powered digital camera that allows users to swiftly and wirelessly upload pictures to social networking sites.

The Galaxy camera lets users connect to a mobile network or Wi-Fi to share photographs and video without having to hook up the camera to a computer.

While it's not the first to the market, Samsung's financial and marketing clout suggest it could be the biggest threat to Japanese domination of a digital camera industry which research firm Lucintel sees growing to $46 billion by 2017 and where big brands include Canon Inc, Sony Corp, Panasonic Corp, Nikon Corp and Olympus Corp.

"Samsung has a tough row to hoe against the likes of Canon and Nikon in the camera brand equity landscape," said Liz Cutting, senior imaging analyst at research firm NPD Group. "Yet as a brand known more in the connected electronic device arena, Samsung has a unique opportunity to transfer strength from adjacent categories into the dedicated camera world."

The Korean group, battling for mobile gadget supremacy against Apple Inc, is already a global market leader in televisions, smartphones and memory chips.

Samsung last year brought its camera and digital imaging business - one of its smallest - under the supervision of JK Shin, who heads a mobile business that generated 70 percent of Samsung's $7.4 billion third-quarter profit.

"Our camera business is quickly evolving ... and I think it will be able to set a new landmark for Samsung," Shin said on Thursday at a launch event in Seoul. "The product will open a new chapter in communications - visual communications," he said, noting good reviews for the Samsung Galaxy camera which went on sale in Europe and the United States earlier this month.

AIMING AT 'PRO-SUMERS'

The Galaxy camera, which sells in the United States for $499.99 through AT&T with various monthly data plans, features a 4.8-inch LCD touchscreen and a 21x optical zoom lens. Users can send photos instantly to other mobile devices via a 4G network, access the Internet, email and social network sites, edit photos and play games.

The easy-to-use camera, and the quality of the pictures, is aimed at mid-market 'pro-sumers' - not quite professional photographers but those who don't mind paying a premium for user options not yet available on a smartphone - such as an optical, rather than digital, zoom, better flash, and image stabilization.

The appeal of high picture quality cameras with wireless connection has grown as social media services such as Facebook Inc drive a boom in rapid shoot-and-share photos.

"At a price point higher than some entry-level interchangeable-lens cameras, the Galaxy camera should appeal to a consumer willing to pay an initial and ongoing premium for 24/7 creative interactivity," said Cutting.

Traditional digital camera makers are responding.

Canon, considered a leader in profitability in corporate Japan with its aggressive cost cutting, saw its compact camera sales eroded in the most recent quarter by smartphones, and has just introduced its first mirrorless camera to tap into a growing market for small, interchangeable-lens cameras that rival Nikon entered last year.

Nikon has also recently introduced an Android-embedded Wi-Fi only camera.

Fresh Friday Link-up: E-Book, Week 8, and Cow&#39;s Milk Allergy Guide ...

Hey my Beautiful Blossoming Daffodils!

Thanks for all of your heart-warming comments and emails I got from my last post. Your kindness, love, and support really brought me to tears and I am so grateful for all of your encouragement. I know I may not be perfect (I released myself from my obsession with perfectionism), but that doesn?t mean I can?t live my life the best I can. The more strive to help others and lose myself in the service of others, I am better able to find myself. One thing I have learned is that some things take time. Getting an education takes time. Finding balance takes time. Healing takes time. I just have to keep pressing forward with steadfastness, striving to be the best me I can, and then I can come off conqueror.

?????????????????????????????..

I just finished up my second phase of ThisFitChick?s workout program. These past 4 weeks have consisted of 4 heavy weight sessions a week (two of which I combine into one because of my schedule) and with 3 HIT cardio sessions.The next 4 weeks will consist of 3 heavy weight sessions (one day arms, next day legs, and last day arms+abs) and 4 HIT cardio sessions (that involve either speed cardio on a machine or full body cardio moves to rev up the heart rate).?I found this past week of workouts were starting to get a little easy for me (because I was getting stronger with each session), so I?m definitely ready to change things up with this next 4 weeks of challenges, starting with week 9.

Katherine from The Real Food Runner is having a Fresh Friday Link-Up Party, and I?d thought I?d join the fun.

Here are 3 things that made my week Fresh & Fantastic:

1.?Tayla put together a beautiful and inspiring e-book on accepting and loving yourself as you are today. It?s filled with inspirational quotes and messages that have helped her in the past, and she put them all together in one place and is giving it out for free. If you want to grab a copy of it, go over to her blog and you can download it via Google Docs.

2. I had a green smoothie this morning ? I felt absolutely amazing afterwards.

3. I have a guest post for you from Bianca Ridley, a leading nutritionist from Nutricia, a company that specializes in the delivery of advanced medical nutrition for the very young, the old and the sick. She wrote a fantastic guide (printed below) that discusses a cow?s milk allergy and shares ways parents can make the lives of their children with a cow?s milk allergy a little easier.?

Cows? Milk Allergy: A Parent?s Guide

Having a baby and being a parent is tough. Mums definitely have it tough too, as most of the things our baby wants are supplied by us: breast milk, cuddles, mummy-baby skin-to-skin, that kind of thing. When they are born, unless daddy is at home 24/7, we do almost everything to make sure our ?mini me? is healthy and happy.

Sometimes, things aren?t always quite perfect. If being pregnant wasn?t worrying enough, they then drop our fragile little bundles into the big scary world. Allergens are just one of the world?s evil tricks. While some children are predisposed, there is just no way of telling what they will react to. Among the most common allergies are dust, cows? milk, pets and nuts.

Cows? milk allergy can be a very difficult one to manage. Avoiding it as a drink helps, but if you pick up a packet of something in the supermarket and read the back, you might notice they have included milk in disguise. It is rarely referred to as ?milk?, and instead you may find ?hydrolyzed whey protein? or ?casein? among the ingredients list. This is milk, hiding in plain sight.

When a child is diagnosed with CMA, it is often a huge relief. Symptoms include colic, reflux, constipation or diarrhea, and skin problems such as rashes or eczema. More extreme reactions can include breathing difficulties or even anaphylaxis. As a parent, having a name for the unsettled, screaming, refluxy baby that just won?t let you sleep can really help. So what next?

Since CMA is often detected in infancy, their diet must be reviewed by a dietician. Breastfed babies will usually continue to take mum?s breast milk while mum sticks to a restricted diet. Bottle fed babies, and some breastfed babies, may be prescribed medical nutrition such as a special medical formula which may help to ease symptoms. If reflux is one of the troubling symptoms, try feeding your baby their bottle with their head elevated, or for a breastfed baby, sit them up in a slight reclining position when they have finished their feed. The next challenge is weaning.

Milk-free weaning is possible, especially if you choose to cook for your child. Guidelines state that allergic children should not wean before six months as there is an allergy-preventing enzyme in their stomach that does not develop until this time. However, once you start, it isn?t as restricted as you may think! Pureed fruit and vegetables are perfect, and don?t have any extras in. If cooking meat dishes, avoid coupling them with creamy milk-based sauces, and opt for gravy or a tomato-based product instead. Experiment with different foods to see what your child enjoys.

If you don?t have time to cook all the time, there are some amazing organic food ranges which contain minimal ingredients and taste really good too (from experience). If you offer breakfast, porridges and even some baby rice products can contain milk, so make sure you check the packets.

Keeping a food diary and noting symptoms is very important when managing CMA. Sometimes, a child may react to a new food, or you may take a ?dairy challenge?, usually on a doctor or dietician?s advice. Recognizing a reaction may help to distinguish new allergies, or, in the case of food challenges, can establish if a child has outgrown CMA.

If you notice a change in your child?s symptoms, or something new, be strong when talking to your healthcare professional. Many parents find that GPs are not necessarily the most understanding with CMA, as it is not something they usually diagnose. It may help to write things down for them.

Most children will outgrow it by age 4, while it may take until age 6 for some. While some may never outgrow it, there is good news: it is a completely manageable condition. By being vigilant, and encouraging your child to do the same when they are a little older, this allergy can be totally controlled. Finding the best way to cope is half the battle won.

??????????????????????????????????.

Do you have a food allergy? How do you handle it?

Do you prefer E-books or paperback/hardback books?

What?s one thing that made your week?fresh and fantastic?

With lots of hugs,

Love what you see? Share it with others!

Pacsafe Blog ? 6 Things I Learned in the Yukon

Six Things I learned in the Yukon In the summer of 2010 I participated in a guide training program in the Yukon Territory. Although I had spent quite a bit of time in the outdoors?hiking, backpacking and white water rafting it still didn?t hide the fact that I grew up in Oklahoma where the mountains number at a whopping zero. And despite my training at my school in Washington state, most of my outdoor recreation had been for leisure, not with a certain goal in mind. Suffice to say I learned a lot during my month in Canada?s wilderness. While I suffered crippling mental and physical defeats I also experienced pure self satisfaction and witnessed stunning beauty.

Moose meat is worth renouncing vegetarianism

When I started my trip I was a vegetarian. I went into this experience believing that with enough cheese and beans I would not only have a poop schedule to set your watch by, I would also have more than enough calories. I was wrong. After the first few days my usual state of fullness was replaced by a constant gnawing hunger despite my extreme caloric intake. Then one day, a man we were staying with, offered me meat from a moose he had recently killed. The meat was a little gamy and tough but oh-so-delicious. After that day I renounced vegetarianism and by the end of the trip I was drinking gravy. Not a joke.

Being one of three women in a group of hardcore men is?difficult

During my experience I was fortunate enough to be traveling with my best friend. Unfortunately, we spent our entire trip with eight (for the most part) unfriendly, terse, and ?ber competitive men. We get it, your penis is big. With the combination of vast age and gender difference, our trip would be known by that guide company as representing one of the worst group dynamics in its companies? history. Despite sexist remarks and not-so-latent misogyny, the women (and one gay man) grew exceedingly close as the chasm between us and the rest of the group grew day by day. By the end of the trip, however, I was more proud of myself than I had ever been and the miles of hiking along with the countless tears were definitely all worth it.

Hummocks hurt

While God may have created the earth with the Yukon in mind, he definitely set out to torture humans by creating the hummock. When I saw the hummocks for the first time I thought, ?Oh how wonderful! I?ll just bounce from hummock to hummock like they are miniature trufula trees?. Wrong again Caroline. The hummocks, although a key part of the tundra ecosystem, wrench your ankles and require balance that even Gabby Douglas could not muster. A mile can take up to an hour while hiking through hummocks and with each step you can almost hear the faint sound of God laughing directly at you.

I actually am afraid of death and dying

Before I took off for the Yukon I didn?t fear anything but snakes and commitment. Upon leaving the Yukon I took with me a fear of the following: cold water, heights, starvation, bears, and death (most of the former resulting in the latter). You may be thinking that I am exaggerating and you are probably right. However, the Yukon exposed me to many physical and psychological challenges I had never before encountered?good and bad. After all, a little fear of death never hurt anyone.

If you like food, ditch your backpack and pick up a paddle

Half of this adventure was spent white water rafting and the other half was spent trekking near Canada?s Mount Logan. As a backpacker I am used to packing light. I have become used to tearing out book chapters and cutting my toothbrush in half to cut back on weight. So when we started packing for our rafting trip, after spending ten days in the backcountry, I began the mental preparation needed to overcome hunger all over again. However, much to my delight, I was informed that because we were rafting we could take whatever we wanted. And we did. We brought pounds of moose meat, salmon, cake, beer, and bacon. In fact, we probably spent more time eating than we did paddling. Either way, I found my new favorite sport.

The Yukon really is larger than life

Anyone who says, ?everything is bigger in Texas? hasn?t been to the Yukon. The landscape is large enough to swallow you whole and while trekking I wasn?t sure whether I was walking through Canada or a Thomas Moran painting. I look back at pictures I took throughout the trip and am disappointed by how small it all looks, how utterly uncapturable. In order to truly remember the trip I have to close my eyes and imagine I?m overlooking the Donjek glacier, paddling through monstrous white water, or even trudging along, at an infuriatingly slow pace over miles and miles of hummocks. It?s almost real enough to make my ankles ache.

last bastion - Houston Criminal Law Blog - David Breston

that - to my way of thinking - is what our legal system is. Be prepared - I?m about to ?wax long and reflective? - and I can?t even say what got me started this morning. Perhaps it was the phone call from a desperate woman - wanting an answer that would prevent her from deportation with her family - maybe it was the young man whose earnest plea for help in the face of false allegations of sexual assault caught my empathy -

or maybe it?s simply looking around at the world in general and realizing that often people have nowhere to turn when caught in the ?sights? of an anonymous government who cares not about ?your? personal story.

I don?t know whether I?m old enough to understand the true machinations of the world - or young enough to still believe in what many call a fairy tale - authentic justice.

What is a bastion? It is a citadel, a stronghold - a fortress that offers protection and relief for those in need. Wouldn?t you say that is why most people pursue the study of law - to be a ?soldier in the legal army? that stands up to injustice.

Now, that?s enough of my reflecting on the greater promise of the law as a career! I will return you to our regularly scheduled blog entries.

Nonprofit offering to assess broadband

The Internet has become an integral part of daily life, but there still are many small businesses that haven?t latched onto the technology.

That?s where Connect North Georgia is stepping in. The economic development nonprofit organization is making broadband adoption assessments for local small businesses.

The goal is to help small businesses increase revenue, lower costs and gain exposure, said Bruce Abraham, Connect North Georgia president and chief executive officer.

?Most businesses are just scratching the surface of the potential broadband provides their business," Abraham said. ?In our experience up here in north Georgia, as we?ve provided Internet connections to small businesses, we realize that they hadn?t had this capacity before and a lot of folks didn?t know what to do with it.?

Abraham said there are 17 basic applications the program is focusing on that can help improve business.

Much like a recent program providing high-speed broadband to the north Georgia region, Abraham said this program is also funded through a federal grant.

?The research has shown for every 10 percent increase in Internet usage by a small business, they?ll see about a 24 percent increase in revenue and a 7 percent decrease in costs,? Abraham said.

About 1,800 small businesses in the region were sent information regarding the free online assessment that looks at how they use the Internet.

Participating businesses will receive a Digital Economy Index Scorecard report suggesting solutions to grow their business.

Abraham said Connect North Georgia will respond by showing how they can maximize use of the Internet, as well as showing how peers in that particular industry are using it.

Connect North Georgia has joined with Strategic Networks Group, an international group of broadband economists, to provide these assessments.

"By taking the current state of broadband use and comparing it to like-sized companies in similar industries, we?re able to educate businesses on best practices for broadband utilization," said Michael Curri, president of Strategic Network Group.

The organization is working on a Web site where businesses can follow up with their assessment and look at the applications and get advice.

?We?re going to take this baseline in the region of where Internet usage is today and then we?re going to analyze these same companies a year from now to see just what kind of affect these applications have had,? Abraham said. "Small businesses are the heartbeat of north Georgia ? we?re trying to make that heartbeat stronger and pump more prosperity into north Georgia."
