I Advice - The Butterfly Effect: How Small Changes in your Life Lead to Massive Reactions
In a nutshell RSS allows you to receive information from sites such as News or Job Boards without having to visit those sites each time you want an update. Not all web sites currently provide XML or RSS, but it is growing rapidly in popularity and many Job Sites and Career Boards do provide it.What does it look like?RSS is really just a standardized form of data based on XML. The data itself is processed by an RSS Reader or Aggregator into a human readable format. The real power of RSS aggregation is you can have all the feeds sent to one location. You can save a huge amount of time job hunting by sending all your favorite Job board feeds to one place.What software do I need to use RSS?In general, the first thing you need is something called an RSS Reader or Aggregator. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. All allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS feeds you want. There are plenty on the market, some free, some commercial.How do I get a News Reader?

Running a business in Canada has always had its particular set of challenges. One of the biggest challenges has always been finding the right business financing. The market has been dominated by banks and institutions, which have very tough and strict lending criteria. Obtaining a business loan or almost any other type of business financing in Canada in pretty difficult. However, that is changing. Quickly.Recently, Canada has seen an increase in the number of independent financing companies that specialize in business financing. Some offer business loans, but the majority have focused on offering invoice discounting (also know as invoice factoring). Although a relatively young industry, the Canadian factoring industry is growing quickly. But, what is invoice discounting?One of the biggest problems for small and mid sized businesses is waiting up to 60 days to get invoices paid by their commercial clients. This can affect their ability to pay rent, suppliers or salaries on time. This problem is common for many businesses, such as trucking companies, staffing agencies, manufacturers, consultants and
Have you figured-out the secrets of speed reading?
When you consciously-practice moving your eyes ‘left-middle-right’, it simultaneously causes your brain to shift-attention from the beginning, center and final-section of the sentence - instead of reading-across at one-word-at-a-time.
Peripheral-vision (lateral-left and lateral-right), - causes a habit to be installed in
your brain that changes your reading-speed from ‘one-word-at-a-time’, to triple that, three-words-at-a time.
Dr. Maurizio Corbetta, Washington University School of Medicine, is the researcher who used fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imagery), to show that “the same parts of the brain move both our eyes - and shift our focus of attention.”
This means the same parts of our brain that control eye-movements simultaneously control what we pay attention to. Control your eye-movements and you govern your attention-and-concentration – and triple your reading-speed.
Crunching is Speedup!
Chunking each sentence into three-sections, and crunching-words
(running-them-together), cause a reduction of up to 66% in subvocalization.

It used to be common for workers to scoff at the idea of wearing any sort of personal protection equipment, or PPE. However, the times, the technology and the laws have changed. The workplace today is a much safer place as a result.The Occupational Safety and Health Act was passed in 1970 to “assure safe and healthy working conditions for working men and women”. OSHA, the governmental agency responsible for the enforcement of the 1970 Act, determines the safety regulations required for all businesses in the US.Hardhats, safety glasses and goggles, steel-toed boots, protective clothing, harnesses and radioactive dosimeter badges are just a few examples of PPE that may be required on today’s job-sites. The degree and type of PPE use is dependent on the industry.Mandatory Personal Protective EquipmentOSHA requires that all workers use mandatory PPE in any job that poses a threat to one’s health. It is the employer’s responsibility to assess the workplace for potential health threats and implement the necessary steps to address any hazard. If such a hazard is present, the e

Whenever we throw something away, whether in the garbage can, the compost, or the recycling, it can smell terrible. Rotting organic matter smells especially badly. But it can also become rich compost for fertilizing the garden. The fragrant rose and the stinking garbage are two sides of the same existence. Without one, the other cannot be. Everything becomes a part of the garbage. After six months, the garbage is transformed into a rose. When we speak of impermanence, we understand that everything is in transformation. This becomes that, and that becomes this.Looking deeply, we can contemplate one thing and see everything else in it. We are not disturbed by change when we see the interconnectedness and continuity of all things. It is not that the life of an individual is permanent, but that life itself continues. When we identify ourselves with life and go beyond the boundaries of a separate identity, we shall be able to see the permanence in the impermanent, or the rose in the garbage.In business, it is crucial that we see the interdependence and interconnectedness between parties, resources and c

These days its extremely difficult to distinguish between ethical and unethical advertising, the line between is so fine that the interpretation of it is ultimately left up to the consumer to make the decision. The closer the advertising pitch is to controversial, funnily enough, the more consumers find it appealing, get suckered in and after its too late realise the consequences. Blatant trickery in advertising in my opinion constitutes fraud and these companies should have the whole book flung at them.Two of the biggest markets are woman and kids. The amount of money made from these two sectors runs into billions each year and companies know exactly how to tug on those purse strings. I don't believe that you could ever eradicate companies that sell products that are less than acceptable; e.g., alcohol and cigarette products. To put the whole blame on advertising companies alone would be an injustice to them. Why would companies resort to subtle advertising tactics to sell products to kids, their attempts to do this is just a waste of time and money when they know very well that to sell products to kids

Postcard printing may not seem much to some people. Postcards are not as expensive or rare to find unlike some objects. It is not something that most people would want to collect or buy on a whim, unless one is on a traveling trip.But there lies the potential and the strength of postcard printing which some people may overlook. Even in today’s modern world, there are just some things that are more tangible. It’s like old habits die hard. Postcards and mails are one of those habits.Postcards are sent through the mail to a diverse set of audience. The mail is always checked for something, even when people browse through their mail to segregate the most important ones – bills from personal letters to urgent mail, postcards directly come into contact with people.This direct contact is one of the most rarest things to acquire when you’re selling. Companies pay millions upon millions of dollars to advertise on television, the internet and the radio, for the chance that their loyal customers would be tuning in or surfing the web.Postcards, however, plays on that advantage. It gains a few pre

When we reduce ‘mentally-hearing’ each-and-every-word we read – to hearing only every second or third word by ‘crunching’ (jamming), the words together – we save up to an hour of reading time daily by speed reading.
Your Pacer
Using a your pen as a ‘pacer’ to underline each sentence you read reduces regressions by 80%. Our eyes follow the ‘trace-flow’ of the pacer (persistence of vision), and we do not lose our place on the page.
The pacer causes our eyes and brain to integrate with the speed of our dominant-hand moving the pacer - to triple our reading speed. The pacer almost eliminates regressions – rereading sentences.
The first-step, the baby-step, the essential introduction to speed reading begins and ends with using a pacer. Using your pen to underline each sentence you read is the ‘sine qua non’ (indispensable step) for speed reading.
The First Step Starts the Ball Rolling
Let’s start with the answer and work backwards.
