I sat reflecting on the past year when my friend Charley came into the room. Charley took one look at my face and she could tell I was off in another world. Charley immediately snapped me out of my thoughts by saying, “you have that look on your face!”. I immediately laughed and said, “Oh Charley, I was just reflecting on the past year”.

Charley has always had the ability of drawing everything out of me. She can read my face and she knows when I am deep in thought; she knows when I am upset; she knows when I am happy. She sat down and said, “Tell me what your were thinking”.

“Well Charley”, I replied, “I was listening to a song on the radio that asked what have you done over the last year. I was thinking about the last year. When I reflect on the year, I have had such good fortune, with a few bumps along the way. Charley, at the beginning of the year my life was in such turmoil, challenges with my work, challenges financially, major decisions that I had to make and now here we are at the end of the year and so much has happened”.

Charley immediately focused my thoughts and asked, “Tell me about the three things that impacted you the most during this year”?

I sat thinking if I had to pick only three things that impacted me what would they be? After a few minutes, I looked Charley straight in the eye and said, “Okay here are the three things that impacted me the most:

1. My family.

I realized they are the most important part of my life. Throughout the year I had many challenges, but my family were always there offering support and encouragement. My husband. He understands and supports me even when I perhaps don’t deserve such support. I have great children who make me proud. My parents, my sister and brothers are always there for me no matter what is happening in my life.

2. My friends.

Over the years I have shared my dreams and my goals with my friends. Some goals I have realized and other goals I have not. But friends like you Charley always supported and encouraged me. It really has made a difference. As you know, I am going to make some major changes in my life in the coming year realizing a goal that is about 5 years behind but is finally coming to realization. A goal that will take me many miles away from my dear friends like you Charley but you still supported and encouraged me.

3. My colleagues.

I have worked with some amazing people over the last year. People of whom I had a different perception. But, once I worked with them I realized how wrong my perception was. Sometimes, we past judgment on people and we really don’t realize what they are all about. This year, I had many of my perceptions change. I have been very, very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with some excellent people over the last year.

Charley smiled and said, “Do you realize that everything you have said has one thing in common”?

“What are you saying, Charley?” I asked.

She replied, “The one common denominator is people. The material things in your life, nor your actual job have had the most meaning in your life. It is the people in your life that have had the biggest impact. People have made the biggest difference in your life!” I smiled. Leave it to Charley to see this and point it out to me.

Material things are not important, and while our jobs provide the means, the important things in life are the people who touched our lives.

The intriguing Human psyche – more complex than the metamorphosing cocoon, and more phenomenal than the human brain could ever imagine.

Deep within the realm of your subconscious is the centrifuge, or cerebral core of all Human possibilities. Therein, lies the key to the supernatural, heightened spirituality and the unique potential of overcoming obstacles, large and small.

Human psyche is one of life’s most bizarre and unparalleled traits within the physical being. It enables our extrasensory perception, encourages drive and motivation, feeds our emotional balance and at times, permits us to undertake feats that our conscious being would never allow.

It controls impulses in our brains that activate our dreams, instills our fears and is the driving force of our physical stamina. The deity within of which all life transforms into the wakened being – thus is the Human psyche.

Interestingly, we never notice its presence, as it is always with us. Spiritual and emotional awareness are the elaborate, invisible compounds of it. As we wake each morning, oblivious to the ensuing day, it is the psyche that jumpstarts our will to conquer the light, to tempt our nerves and even directs our hopes and dreams.

Stories of the impossible made possible through incredible feats of strength and psychic-kinetic energies released through channels of our internal beings; the mysterious force that empowers mind over matter .

Through our psyche, boundaries are nonexistent between the parallel planes of all inter-human, spiritual connections. By means of meditation, we permit our bodies to become one with our multifaceted world. When we absorb the spiritual energy around us, molecular transformations incur within. Self-healing, radical phenomenon, and psychic interactions are all aspects of this wonderful charge.

If we incorporate our psyche within the realm of our conscious, we can attain a higher level of spirituality, peace and enable our mentality to overcome physical & mental weaknesses. Practicing trance concentration through our psyche, we capacitate ourselves with unimaginable forces of nature.

In closing, Henry Ford once stated, “If you think you can, you will.if you think you can’t, you won’t.” Within his profound words, we uncover incredible human spirit at its finest – therein lies the Human Psyche, and the impossible – possible.

Scientific studies have shown that the mind can perceive future events that may harm us. In fact in study after study researchers have found that the bio-system will increase its pulse prior to a painful event. Does this mean that pain can transcend time? Not actually say scientists, but parts of the mind can and they are determined to figure out how humans and many other species are able to do this.

It appears from an evolutionary standpoint in terms of survival of the fittest that such skills may have been the difference between life and death. So it is safe to say that there is not only a reason for this, but a good reason why many of the species on the planet have this skill, fore if they did not, they most likely would not be alive today, because their direct ancestral line would have been eaten by a fast moving predator.

I propose that we use such a system to embedded in a soldiers uniform which will detect a rapid ramp up in their brain waves which is immediately sent to their central nervous system which mimics the laboratory experiments of bio-system changes which occur in minds pre-cognition warning system.

Once the uniform detects this wave it shocks the soldier and lets them know to duck, move or get out of harms way, even if the soldier does not recognize these signs himself. Think on this in 2006.

When you are just about to begin to play cricket it is not always straightforward to choose what you should obtain. If you go into a sports retail shop & ask them what you need, you will in all probability end up getting a considerable amount of gear. With this in mind, it is reasonable to fathom what you may require previous to you going shopping. That way you are a great deal more likely to purchase what you demand, rather than what the shop landlord advises you require.

Below, is more or less a detailed cricket equipment inventory, you do not require to get all the goods on this list, as a substantial number of clubs will loan you equipment especially at junior level:

Cricket whites, cricket bats, balls, helmets, gloves, batting (wicket keeping) inner gloves, wicket keeping gloves, batting pads, wicket keeping pads, box, chest pad, arm guard, inner thigh pad, cricket boots (bowling boots; batting boots), box (groin guard), stumps and bails.

For most sports competitions you will ever play you will need your own set of whites. Cricket whites consist of white cricket trousers and a cricket shirt. It is important to check that you acquire a suitable pair of cricket trousers as well as a nice white cricket shirt & jumper as it can easily turn cold if you are standing out on the pitch for a lengthy period of time particularly if plan to play in England (the start and end of the cricket season are the coldest). Find wonderful deals on cricket dvds.

If you can not rent kit from your club the other most important items of equipment are a cricket bat & box. A descent cricket bat is critical if you wish to score many runs & is a very personal piece of cricket equipment, therefore spend several hours picking your bat, in an ideal world you ought to go to a sports shop and try one out before you buy in order for you to know how it feels to play with. (Once you know what you want you can often buy bats on the Web noticeably cheaper). You need a good box to guard your groin from the ball, as getting hit down below’ is very painful, so investing in a good box before you start is a defiant must – you can not play cricket without one.

“Traditional Marriage” is a term that you surely have heard, while the definition may be unique to each person, the general summation of the term has one partner working and supplying for a family while the other stays at home cleaning and taking care of the family. Today’s world “traditional marriage” has become less frequent with the immergence of the “equal marriage”.

An “equal marriage” is not inherently the opposite of a “traditional marriage”, but still remains very different. Here, both partners work outside of the home and expect equal duties when it comes to the home and family. Money is considered “our money” providing both partners the same control over the funds, even if different banking accounts exist. Despite the monetary contribution figures, there is no tab kept when it comes to who pays the bills more. This makes no difference, because the money is “our money”.

When it comes to spending the money in an “equal marriage”, purchases and time of purchases become mutual decisions. Debt situations are also mutual decisions. Purchasing decisions usually pertain to “bigger” purchases.

Money is the obvious contingent in an “equal marriage” but not the only. Household chores are also considered. There are no rules on the division of housework or similar duties. Rules can be set, letting the only discrepancy to be the quality of the work.

When children exist in an “equal marriage” neither partner is designated the role of primary caretaker. It is important to remember that neither partner’s job is of greater importance than the other. Each partner is to consider their work situation and divide the duties in accordance to their ability to spend time doing the caretaking. This may be the hardest part of participating in an “equal marriage”. But if a proper schedule can be determined an “equal marriage” can be a successful relationship that can encompass all of the important aspects of the “traditional marriage”.

Anyone who has ever become involved in exercise, especially aerobic exercise, has probably heard the term “target heart rate” or “target heart range” or THR. This is a very important concept for anyone who is involved in an exercise program or someone who wants to start a program. Unfortunately, some exercise professionals gloss over this concept and don’t let people know just how important it is. My wife belongs to a Jazzercise group and she tells me that the instructors hardly bring up the need for monitoring your THR during an exercise session (my wife wears a heart rate monitor to keep checks on her THR all the time, so I guess I’ve had a positive influence on her in that respect). I sure am glad that I’m not the insurance company handling the liability insurance for this group. You see, not monitoring your THR can actually be dangerous. And, not only can it be dangerous for mature people, but it can also be dangerous for younger people too.

So, let’s look at the concept of THR and why it is so important. Under normal circumstances, the human heart can only beat so many beats per minute. If it goes above or below these certain parameters, it usually means that something is wrong, and that’s one of the reasons we need to know what it is. For the average person, a simple rule of thumb to determine your maximum heart rate (MHR) is to subtract your age from 220 (women can use 210). Example: a 60 year old male can calculate his MHR by taking 220 – 60 = 160, so his MHR is 160. A 60 year old female would take 210 – 60 = 150, so her MHR is 150. Keep in mind that this is just a rule of thumb. If you want to find out what your exact MHR is, you will need to have a doctor put you through an aerobic exercise test to exhaustion (a “max test”), which isn’t usually worth while for most of us. When I was in graduate school they would put me through a “max test” about once every other week to give the other students a chance to see how all the equipment worked and what they needed to do to run everything properly. They used me because I was a well conditioned triathlete and a little stupid too. Believe me, those tests are tough, and you don’t want to go through one unless you absolutely have to.

The reason you need to know your MHR is that it is used to determine your THR for different exercise goals. What do we mean when we say “different exercise goals”? Some people are going to exercise just to stay or get healthy. Others will want to exercise to lose weight. And, still others may be exercising to increase their aerobic or anaerobic capabilities for a certain sport (swimming, sprinting, marathons, etc.). Whatever these goals are, the THR to achieve them is going to be different. If someone just wants to use aerobic exercise to help become or stay healthy, a good THR for them might be 65% – 80% of their MHR. Using our 60 year old male whose MHR is 160, his THR for staying healthy would be 160 x 65% = 104, 160 x 80% = 128, so his range would be 104 – 128 heart beats per minute (this is measured by taking your pulse). If he wants to lose weight, he might use a THR of 60% – 70% of his MHR because this level will burn more fat. And, don’t forget, monitoring your heart rate isn’t only to achieve your exercise goals. It is important that you keep track of your heart rate so that if anything unusual starts to happen while you’re exercising you will be able to stop.

A really convenient way to keep track of your target heart rate is with a heart rate monitor. These can cost anywhere from about $60 up to $250 and more depending on how many bells and whistles you want. You can also just take your pulse at your wrist or neck (how to do that is food for another article), several times during an exercise session to make sure you stay within your range.

Knowing your THR and MHR is very important, both for safety and for appropriate exercise goal setting. Learn what they are, and monitor them regularly.

Inversion tables can be used those who want to ease tension from their back. However the advice of the doctor is needed before you can use an inversion table. An inversion table is meant to relieve stress and back pain. In fact it’s believed that the practice has been used as early as 400 BC. Now many physical therapists, medical doctors use the same technique of gravity-assisted inversion. It’s actually a gravity assisted traction exercise.

Our body is made in such a way that every vertebrae in the spine and every disc is made to support the weight. Therefore to start with you should only 20 – 30 degrees for a few weeks before you invert at 60 degrees and finally at 90 degrees. The lower discs in our body are made to support the 60% of the weight above them while those in our neck are meant to support the weight of our head.

Tables can be locked at a 90-degree angle for the full inversion. There are adjustable roller hinges. These adjustable roller hinges allow you to control the aggressiveness of the rotation. In this position you can do sit ups as wells as squats. You can even do inverted crunches in this position. A word of caution, don’t overdo the exercises. If you feel too much pain, then you should stop doing the powered inversion table and seek medical advice before proceeding further. Your arm movements control the movement of the inversion table. The tether straps will lock your ankles while you are on the inversion table and in most cases the nylon mat will be washable.

Most inversion tables come with a five-year warranty and some companies will also provide free shipping. Gravity boots can also be used with the inversion table to provide a better support to the ankles while exercising on the inversion table.

There are many options available in the market. They can cost approximately upto $500 and the starting range starts at $300. Doctors for those who experience back pain and may have had problems in their back recommend them.

As being relatively inexpensive solution, it is reasonably open to be customizable to fit specific industry niche. In this small article we’ll give you highlight on how Great Plains could serve specific vertical demands of transportation and freight forwarding industry
Industry requirements:

• Agent Monthly Settlement invoicing. Freight Forwarders use agents and usually pay them on the monthly basis, depending on the results. Freight Forwarded pays fees and collects money from customers, and if collection exceeds fees – it pays to the agent, in the opposite case it issues debit memo. Agent should receive detailed invoice.

• Shipment Inquiry Form. Usually each Freight Forwarding has custom or standard shipping tracking system. This system is primary source of information about the shipment, then all the collections and fees and associated customer and vendor invoices are moved to Accounting Application, such as Microsoft Great Plains. From this accounting/ERP system we need Shipment Inquiry functionality with the report on the profit/loss from this specific shipment

Microsoft Great Plains realization:

• Technology. Microsoft Great Plains sits on MS SQL Server platform and typical technologies are: Stored Procedures and also Great Plains Dexterity for Screens and Reports – this is Great Plains Software (currently Microsoft Business Solutions) proprietary software development language and IDE

• Integration – is usually realized through Microsoft SQL Server linked server architecture and distributed queries. These queries might be triggered or placed as MSSQL Server overnight job. Transactions come to Sales Order Processing (SOP) and Purchase Order Processing (POP) modules, where they are placed into batches. Batches then should be processed by AP/AR departments

• Agent Monthly Settlement. This should be realized as Great Plains Dexterity custom window, with two scrolling windows on it, where you should list SOP Invoices and POP Shipments with Invoices

• Shipment Inquiry Form. Use the same Great Plains Dexterity custom window technology.

• Reports – you are free to use either Dexterity report or Crystal Reports designer

As merger mania engulfs the publishing industry, markets for book manuscripts continue to shrink. There are simply fewer trade publishers today. Because the majority are now owned by huge conglomerates interested only in bottom line profits, they are less likely to take a chance on a mid‑list author.

To further compound the challenge, most books that are trade published experience a dismal fate. Joni Evans, past executive vice president and publisher of Random House, said in an interview in Lear magazine, “Only 10% of the books published by any house earn out their advances.” What a frightening statistic. That says 90% fail! Must this necessarily paint a gloomy picture? Not really. Actually, it may be a blessing in disguise.

Why Choose This Alternative?

Today many authors are opting to take control of their destiny and publish their own work. While 10 years ago self-publishing was a case of last resort, today it is often the firstand wisestchoice for non-fiction authors.

Many savvy writers use self-publishing as a springboard to more lucrative trade publishing contracts. How so? Here’s the formula: produce your own book, promote and sell the heck out of it, then allow a major publisher to take over your proven product. Because you’ve removed the risk and shown the book is profitable, trade publishers are suddenly a lot more interested in climbing on the bandwagon.

This can also work in reverse. Let’s say you previously sold a book to a New York publisher. They published it, then let it die a quick death. Now “your baby” has gone out of print. That’s what happened to us. So we got the rights back, did some revision to update the book, then published it ourselvesand marketed it aggressively. That book, Big Ideas for Small Service Businesses, has gone back for a third printing. We are making much more money on our self-published version than we ever did on the one put out by Publishers Row.

Some enormously popular books were birthed by their own authors. The classic career counseling handbook, What Color Is Your Parachute? originated its climb to best-sellerdom as a self-published title. Author and clergyman Richard Nelson Bolles eventually released the rights to Ten Speed Press, where the book continues to move at a rate of about 400,000 copies a year. The total number of copies sold is over four million! In the early 1900s William Strunk, Jr. breathed life into a little book most writers still swear by today. He printed Elements of Style as a text for his English classes at Cornell.

Celestine Prophecy and Mutant Message From Down Under were self-publishing phenomena. Celestine Prophecy got an advance from Warner for $800,000. Marlo Morgan received a whopping $1.7 million advance from Harper for her Mutant Message. These dramatic success stories have left their imprint on the entire self-publishing movement.

Privately published titles typically command respectand profits far above the typical 7 to 10% royalties. Additionally, you maintain control. You call the shots: title selection, cover appearance, editing judgments, marketing considerations, etc.

Another appealing aspect is faster turnaround. With trade publishers, first you or your agent must shop the manuscript. Once it’s accepted, industry averages are 18 months to publication. A self-published book, on the other hand, typically takes four to six months to produce. Period.

Part of the upswing in this movement is directly attributed to the support available to aspiring authors. While desktop publishing definitely made the whole production process less costly and more efficient, it should not be viewed as a panacea. If you’re only doing one or two books, it probably isn’t cost-effective to purchase typesetting software. And it isn’t practical to embark on the learning curve required to master good design and typesetting.

There is also lots of help around now. We were pioneers in the book consulting field. Today hundreds of individuals and companies offer assistance with everything from editing and production to marketing and promotion. Some of them are excellent. Others are marginally qualified at best. Always check out their reputation and credentials.

While we’re champions of this publishing alternative, we also say self-publishing isn’t for every book or every person. It’s extremely tough for most fiction and poetry. Even a good non-fiction book may be difficult to independently publish unless it is slanted toward a specific niche. Therein lies part of the secret.

The Secret of Successful Self-Publishing

You want a narrowly focused topic so you can reach your market. A book on dog training, for example, is better than one on animals. Why? Because you can find and penetrate your target audience. Dog trainers, breeders, breed associations, animal shelters, pet shops, dog showsall are rich hunting grounds. Perhaps you can even sell thousands of books to a dog food manufacturer as a giveaway to entice new customers.

To prosper in self-publishing you need certain personal characteristics as well. Writing is only the beginning. Marketing is critical. You must be willing to acquire this knowledge, or hire someone who possesses it. I know, mother always taught you not to “toot your own horn.” If you expect to sell books, you’d better forget that advice. Marketing, however, need not be frightening. Think of it as helping people and building relationships, which is exactly what it is. (Frankly, if you want your book to stay in print and pay big dividends, you need to be personally involved in publicizing it anyway, whether you’re self or trade-published.) The ability to follow up is as important to an author as a computer is to an accountant. The squeaky wheel does get the oil.

Self-discipline is also a valuable personal characteristic. You’ll be wearing many hats. A self-publisher is writer, editor, book designer, typesetter, printer, business manager, bookkeeper, order fulfiller, and publicist. Although you’ll subcontract some of these functions, you will act as the construction superintendent. Ultimately, it’s your project.

Be sure your motivation is clear. Self-publishing takes time, energy, and money. Most ventures are undertaken because the author wants to make a profit. That’s fine. Done properly, this can be very lucrative. (Done improperly, you can lose your shirt.) We know self-publishers who earn a whopping 80% on their books. But they work hard for it.

Perhaps your goal is to influence people about a subject you feel strongly abouta “cause” book. Additionally, many of our clients publish a book as a business-building strategy. These are professionals, corporate executives, or entrepreneurs who seek to position themselves as “the expert.” A book gives them new visibility and credibility.

Do It Right

Whatever your reason, do it right! A carefully crafted self-published book can compare favorably with a traditionally-published book. Quality control is vital. Get professional editing help. Develop a dynamic cover. Use someone who understands book design. Most graphic artists who create impressive logos or wonderful brochures don’t have a clue about what works for book covers. And be sure you have an ISBN, LCCN, and a Bookland EAN scanning symbol on the back cover. Unfamiliar terms? Educate yourself by reading; find out what they mean. When you elect to self-publish, you’re going into business. If you expect to compete in the marketplace, do your homework.

Also learn about printing. It’s your biggest expense. Having a few hundred copies done at your local print shop or via Print on Demand may make sense for a family history or a chapbook of poems. To be cost-effective you need to print a minimum of 3,000 copies of most books, however, and you should work with a book manufacturer or a print broker who knows book printing and will look out for your best interests. We offer ideas in our newly revised Complete Guide to Self-Publishing to slash costs and still have a quality product.

Work in even signatures, preferably 32- or 64-page increments. Choose from the printer’s standard papers, rather than specifying something unusual. Want an inexpensive and dynamic brochure? Print an overrun of the covers while you’re on the press. They’re cheap and impressive then.

Consider publishing in hardcover. It will only cost you about $1.25 per book more, yet it commands a greater retail price (a $12.95 paperback versus the same book in hardcover at $19.95, for instance). Total costs to publish your own book vary as much as the price of automobiles. There are Cadillac projects and there are Geo projects. They depend on length, size, complexity of text, presence of illustrations or photographs, number of colors in the cover, editing needed, marketing involved, etc. You’ll typically invest anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 to do it right.

Self-publishing can be fun, exciting, and profitable. If you’re the type of person who likes to be behind the wheel, rather than just along for the ride, it may be the perfect alternative for getting your book into print.

Keep in mind, it is not a cure‑all. It is a powerful tool for shaping your writing destiny. The bottom line is directly proportional to the effort expended. As with anything worthwhile, it requires self-discipline, investment, time, and creativity. Yes, there are risks involvedbut done properly, the financial and emotional rewards can be substantial.
