Teenagers

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

By Diane Overgard Rude teenagers! Poor grades! Talking back! Out of control teens! The teen years may be challenging but teens are also funny, interesting, caring, loving, and committed people! When parents understand behaviors that are part of the normal process of growing up, they dont have to be alarmed, ashamed, hurt, embarrassed, threatened, or shocked. It is NORMAL for teens to: Spend lots of time with friends. Desire independence and freedom. Feel invincible. Have opinions that are different from parents. Challenge rules because they see exceptions and extenuating circumstances. Experience intense emotions and mood swings. Appreciate more privacy. Teens are getting ready to leave home. That is a tough job. During these few years teenagers are learning to become independent, become problem solvers, and become comfortable with themselves. Parents also have a tough job. They are trying to understand teens and to help them become mature adults. It is helpful to remember that teens are in process. They are not who they will be as adults. A lot of learning is still taking place. These years are the training ground for mature adult characteristics. Tension is eased when parents merely understand the changing behaviors of teenagers. When parents realize that both teenager and parent have tough jobs, they can be gentler on themselves and their teens. Diane Overgard, CFLE, has been involved in parent education and staff training, guiding parents and their children in active learning environments. As a Certified Family Life Educator, Dianes skill in combining child development theory with practical applications gives the why as well as the how of strengthening relationships.

Pick Up Lines that Actually Work

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

By Magnus Pua Do you come here often? If anyone has ever got laid from asking that in a not-ironic way then they deserve a prize. Its clichd and frankly, pretty stupid. Who cares if she comes here often? The way womens minds work they are likely to start wondering if it means youre worried shell see you in the same club next week hitting on different girls. Another great way to start a lose-lose situation for yourself is to ask Can I buy you a drink? If she says no, then the conversation is over and if you try to pursue it youll come across as a creepy weirdo guy. If she says yes, youve just committed to spending money on a girl you dont know, who if shes British is probably going to down the drink and send her friends over to get you to buy drinks for them, too. No-one would ask Hi, you probably wont talk to me unless I bribe you and get you drunk, but when you offer a girl a drink, thats pretty much what youre saying. The trouble with both of these, and the hundred other lines that guys use when they think they are being sophisticated, is that they show too much interest. The truth is you dont really care how often she comes here, and you might realise that you actually want to get to know her without spending money for her company. Girls know that guys want sex from them, they know that you are attracted to their physical features. Thats why they wear push-up bras and revealing clothes that are slightly too tight. But they also like to believe that you are interested in who they really are, and that isnt something you can always assess on first impressions. A better way to start a conversation with a girl is to do just that start a conversation but without showing any interest right away. Show some character, and give her a chance to show hers before you let her know you like her. Avoid commenting on the club or the music, its unoriginal. If youre asking her to agree with you on how cool the place is, youre trying to show commonalities between the two of you to build rapport, and its too early to do this. First you must demonstrate that you are someone she should get to know, and only then should you show interest. The lines Im going to suggest might seem like they are coming way out of left-field. But believe it or not, these lines have been tested thoroughly by hundreds of guys who read my site and others like it. They work. Picture yourself using them to start a conversation, even just for the first 30 seconds. In those 30 seconds the girl or group of girls will give you something else to talk about, like their accents or their attitude. These conversation starters are just to break the ice without it looking like you are hitting on them. This way they cant react the way they instinctively react to guys who obviously want to pick them up. So here are the Chat Up Lines. Hey guys, do you think I should dye my hair totally blonde? Calling them guys instead of girls is very disarming. Try approaching a group of girls with Hey guys instead of Hello Ladies and youll see what I mean. Whether or not they think you should dye your hair blonde is unimportant, their response tells you something about them that you didnt know before and the conversation can flow from there. Excuse me, are you lot any good at Geography? Were trying to remember the name of the fifth Ocean This sort of question is great if there are guys in the group with the girl you are interested in. You can instantly make the girl laugh by teasing her about her lack of knowledge about the world, and it leads nicely into talking about travelling which is always a great subject when you are meeting people. Most people will remember Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and African, and then start guessing Seas like the Mediterranean or the Caribbean. The guys in the group often get really involved in this, when this happens, just tell them youll look it up on the Internet and change the subject. Hey, we need a quick female opinion. Do girls prefer Pretty Woman, or Dirty Dancing? If they ask why you want to know, say its to buy a birthday gift for a girl you dont know very well, who invited you to her party. Depending on which answer they give you can make them laugh by teasing them that they fancy old men Richard Gere or Patrick Swayze. If they say Dirty Dancing you can ask them if they relate to the female lead in that movie, though I wouldnt advise doing this if they say Pretty Woman!

Oklahoma Sex Crimes Criminal Defense Lawyer

Monday, August 27th, 2007

By Todd Going In the last 10 years the Internet has changed the world in ways that no one thought possible. Its unfortunate, but with the growing popularity of the Internet came a growth in Internet crime. The proliferation of Internet sex crimes have changes so rapidly that its created an entirely new mode of law enforcement. The web has given offenders access to children of all that was not possible until recently. The growth and increased access to technology such as instant messaging, email and web cams have created an unprecedented opportunity for direct access to children. Of course, lewd and/or indecent proposals can be construed at times when no intent was present. The possibilities of being charged with an Internet sex crime are everywhere. One growing example is the abuse or neglect of a child. This is a charge where prosecutors are saying that the defendants have engaged in conduct that sexually exploits a minor. Another common offense lately is indecent exposure/indecent exhibitions or obscene writings or pictures because technology has allowed for much easier generation of materials that are deemed illegal under traditional laws. Finally allegations of lewd or indecent proposals to a child under 16 are appearing more and more often. Sometimes these lewd or indecent proposals can come when there is no intent present. If youve been charged with a sex crime in Oklahoma you are not alone. It is very important that you contact a professional Oklahoma sex crime attorney to help you understand your rights during this long and complicated legal process.

Causes And Symptoms Of Migraine

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

By Hemant Gupta Migraine is a type of headache which is very painful and can affect a person anytime. Generally a Migraine headache affects a person for a few hours or for a day or two and then automatically disappears. During such Migraine attack a person gets ill and may also vomit at times. A detailed diagnosis of Migraine is performed if the headaches occur frequently and if the any of the following features a found to be present: Irritation due to light or noise Person suffering from pain which is limited to one part of the head Presence of nausea Vision disturbances Queer sensations prior to Migraine Other family members also suffering from Migraine Even today the medical science has not been able to determine the major causes of Migraine headache. Nobody knows what happens inside the head which leads to all the symptoms of Migraine. According to one theory during the initial periods of a migraine attack when the affected person looks pale and some weird things start happening with the eyes or the skin, the blood vessels in the brain abruptly become narrowed. After this a painful headache takes place when the vessels swell and become extraordinarily large. The Migraine headache continues to trouble the person until the Blood vessels come back to there normal size. Migraine headache can affect anybody at anytime, in fact one out of every ten people in this world suffer from normal or sever headache. During a Migraine headache a person should take complete rest and should avoid exerting himself too much. A Migraine headache affects one’s daily routine as he is required to stay on bed for a couple of days. Many medical researchers believe that Migraine Headache is caused due to changes in the Serotonin level which is a brain chemical and is believed to have its effects on the blood vessels connected to the brain. These blood vessels swell and shrink continuously due to such variations in the Serotonin levels and if the variation goes beyond the normal point, one suffers from Migraine. But still there is proper proof to support this claim of various medical researchers. Migraine is quite common now and a majority proportion of the population on this planet suffers from Migraine attacks. Migraine is quite common among the young and middle aged people. Generally Migraine headache disappears after two to four days but if it peruses for a longer duration one should visit a doctor.

Cash Flow, Profits And The Cash Conversion Cycle

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

By Jeff Schein Calculating cash flow is one of the most important tasks of the business owner. Revenue and expenses are rarely constant in a business and cash requirements need to be planned for shortfalls, seasonal factors or one time large payments. At the end of the day, a company that cannot pay its bills is bankrupt. Unfortunately, while many business owners concentrate solely on their revenues and expenses to manage their cash flow, its usually poor management of the cash conversion cycle that so often leads to a cash crunch in the business. What is the cash conversion cycle and why should I be concerned with it? The cash conversion cycle is simply the duration of time it takes a firm to convert its activities requiring cash back into cash returns. The cycle is composed of the three main working capital components: Accounts Receivable outstanding in days (ARO), Accounts Payable outstanding in days (APO) and Inventory in days (IOD). The Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) is equal to the time is takes to sell inventory and collect receivables less the time it takes to pay your payables, or: CCC = IOD + ARO APO Why is this cycle important? Because it represents the number of days a firm’s cash remains tied up within the operations of the business. It is also a powerful tool for assessing how well a company is managing its working capital. The lower the cash conversion cycle, the more healthy a company generally is. If you compare the results of the cycle over time and see a rising trend it is often a warning sign that the business may be facing a cash flow crunch. Understanding the components of the cycle When evaluating cash flow, those factors directly affecting profit, revenue and expenses, are easy to understand and their affect on cash is straight forward; decreases in costs or increases in profit margin results in less cash going out or more cash coming in, and increased profits. However, the working capital components of the CCC are a little more complex. In simple terms, an increase in the amount of time accounts receivables are outstanding uses up cash, a decrease provides cash; an increase in the amount of inventory uses cash, a decrease provides cash; an increase in the amount of time it takes you to pay your payables provides cash, a decrease uses cash. For example, a decision to buy more inventory will use up cash, or a decision to allow people to pay for goods or services over 60 days instead of 30 days will mean you have to wait longer for payment, and will have less cash on hand. Below is a numerical example of the cycle: Accounts Receivable outstanding in days +90 Inventory in days +60 Accounts Payable outstanding in days -72 Cash Conversion Cycle +78 In the scenario, you have cash tied up for 78 days. It should be noted that you can have a negative conversion cycle. If this occurs it means that you are selling your inventory and collecting your receivables before you have to pay your payables. An ideal situation if you able to accomplish this. Before you say it is impossible, remember that companies such as Wal-Mart are today selling a large part of their inventory before they have to pay for it. While it is not easy it can be accomplished. An Example Let’s assume you buy on trade credit from your supplier and an account payable is created. Your supplier wants full payment in 30 days, however, you are selling inventory very fast, sell the inventory a week later and are asking for full payment from your buyer in 7 days. You are now managing your conversion cycle. Consider, on day 1 you generate an accounts payable for 30 days from now. On day 7 you sell the inventory and generate an accounts receivable, which your buyer will pay for in 7 days. What is your conversion cycle in the case? -14 days, pretty good and you congratulate yourself. On day 15, after you receive payment, you are flush with cash and have a choice of reinvesting the money or paying your supplier. What action you take will probably depend on a lot of factors, but as your supplier has provided you interest free cash for another 2 weeks, you may want to use it for those two weeks to generate greater returns; maybe you have outstanding credit you can pay down, you can buy additional inventory, or you may just want to generate interest returns. Now consider that you also provide your buyers 30 days to pay you. On day 1 you generate an accounts payable for 30 days from now. On day 7 you sell the inventory and generate an accounts receivable, which your buyer will pay for in 30 days. What is your conversion cycle in the case? 7 days, not as good. You now have 7 days in your cycle during which you have repaid your supplier but will not receive payment for another 7 days from your buyer. You either need extra cash on hand or a credit line to support you for those 7 days. What does this mean in terms of cash flow and your bottom line? If you have $1 million in annual sales and your receivables are outstanding an average of 60 days, that means you have $164,383 in outstanding receivables. Everyday extra day the receivables are outstanding (e.g. 61 days vs. 60 days) represents an extra $2,740 that is not available to use elsewhere. If you need a credit line to support your receivables and you pay interest at 8% that represents $13,000 in annual interest charges (expenses) based on an average loan balance of $164,000. So, as you can see, the management of the conversion cycle can have a large impact on the business’s cash flow and profitability. The management of your cash conversion cycle could determine whether you require a lending facility or not, or whether you can meet financial obligations.

Cash Advances In Commerce

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

By Kenneth Snodin There are many kinds of cash advances available in the marketplace. These advances are designed to allow individuals to pay their bills until they receive a paycheck. Payday loans are readily available, as are business loans and other loans, which impose a fee. Many people take advantage of these loans, including restaurant owners. Businesses must be able to take in at least $2000 per month, and a credit vendor must accept the money. This means that credit card receipts must be produced before a loan is considered. Business owners can apply for business cash loans if they have receivables from credit card purchases. If the business is not going well, it may still qualify for a loan, and some lenders will offer as much as $100,000. One of the major drawbacks for some businesses is the need to transfer cash from one bank account to another. Delays may occur during this process, which results in banking overdraft charges. A bank overdraft can cost more than the fees imposed on payday loans, although business payday loans are different than the common cash advance. Taking a business loan through banking institutions can be difficult, so some businesses prefer to take out cash advance loans. With these loans, cash is delivered quickly if borrowers meet the lenders qualifications. Business fast cash loans are optional loans that are typically considered in cases of emergency. These loans are available for making renovations, marketing, expanding, and paying inventory costs as well. Businesses can take payday loans to remodel, expand their business, or to pay marketing expenses. Repayment agreements on advance cash loans for businesses vary from lender to lender. Once the parties agree to a loan, a percentage of the receipts generated from credit cards will be deducted periodically. When the balance of the receipts reaches zero on the loan, the lender stops debiting the payments electronically, giving business owners the option of making payments on another loan. In contrast to regular payday loans, commerce loans require as many as ten days for approval. They dont include any fixed repayment measures and have no fixed payment arrangements. The loan processing is computerized, so once the loan application is accepted, the business owner can take the commission. Commissions are based on fixed percentages. Some business lenders will offer to take a percentage of the receipts generated from credit cards, while others will offer fast acceptance of applications, no fixed repayment amounts, guarantees on hard assets, and as much as $250,000 toward the business that is owned. Good applicants for cash business loans are hotel proprietors, bar owners, and restaurant owners, but almost any type of business that has the capacity to take credit card payments may apply for a business loan. Business owners that are considering taking out a loan should review all contracts, fees, and agreements before signing on with any lender.

A Renter in Debt? Take Out a Bad Credit Personal Loan

Monday, August 20th, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Siu]Peter Siu On average, homeowner households earn 95% more than renting households per year. With 26% of a rental households disposable income being spent on renting, in comparison to 15% of homeowners on their houses (not including maintenance), it is unsurprising that people who rent find it harder to manage and turn to bad credit personal loans for help. Its easy to fall into the rent trap. As monthly rents take over of their income, debts for renters can easily pile up. It is very difficult to make any savings towards a deposit for a home and very easy to get bad credit if you skip payments on things like credit cards to try and make ends meet. Fortunately, renters with bad credit can still apply for a bad credit personal loan. A bad credit personal loan is an unsecured loan. This means that unlike a home equity loan you do not have to pledge a valuable item such as a home or a car to guarantee repayment. If you rent this makes perfect sense as you do not have a home to pledge anyway! A really useful thing to know is that a bad credit personal loan can be used for just about everything including: Buying Christmas presents Furnishing a rented home Paying off credit card bills A new car Most companies that offer bad credit personal loans are not interested in what the money will be used for, they are merely interested in whether the person taking out the loan will be able to make the repayments or not. If you have bad credit then you will need to seek appropriate lenders who offer a personal loan for people with bad credit, but there are an abundance of specialist lenders available. The main advantage to using such a loan is that unlike a credit card, the credit is non-revolving. This means that the interest rate and the term of the bad credit personal loan are fixed at the outset. The monthly repayments are always the same and this makes it far easier to allow for in a monthly budget. As these loans are unsecured and for bad creditors, they do carry a higher interest rate than a home equity loan, but if you do not have a home then this narrows your choices substantially.

Suitable Replacements for Expensive New College Textbooks

Monday, August 20th, 2007

By Groshan Fabiola In the last few years, the average costs of new college textbooks have suffered a dramatic increase, forcing students nationwide to spend a fortune on their study materials. Although it may seem exaggerated, the costs of the total amount of college textbooks required by college students during a single school year often exceed the costs of the average students tuition. Well aware of this fact, increasingly larger numbers of students have turned away from college bookstores, looking for new, more affordable ways of obtaining their required study materials. Realizing that they are at risk of losing an important segment of their clientage, many bookstores across the country have prepared more affordable prices for topical college textbooks over the last few months. Some bookstores have started to reduce the average costs of used textbooks as well, hoping to stimulate the interest of college students in buying study materials from such resources. However, even with the recent discounts and special offers promoted by most new and used college textbook-selling offline resources, online bookstores still hold supremacy when it comes to purchasing textbooks for decent prices. Thanks to the benefits offered to their clients, online bookstores and various other online college textbook-selling resources are literally assaulted by students in search of a good bargain. At present, more than two thirds of college students nationwide solely rely on online resources for purchasing their curriculum-required and facultative study materials. Impressed by their achieved exposure and by the great feedback received from college students, both new and used college textbook-selling bookstores that sustain their activity online have decided to further extend their offer by supplementing the number of study materials. Certain web-based retailers have even dedicated their activity entirely to students, offering them the opportunity to browse through an extensive inventory of college books. The only minuses of purchasing college textbooks online consist in high shipping costs and long delivery time. However, these problems are usually accounted for by dedicated online bookstores, which often minimize delivery time and costs for regular customers. Another great method of finding cheap college textbooks consist in regularly attending to online auctions. The major advantage provided by online auctions is that they enable students to buy the books that they are interested in for only a fraction of the normal cost. However, the main disadvantage consists in the considerably long delivery time. Many programs initiated by various faculty representatives nowadays even offer students the chance to enter in possession of their required college textbooks free of charge! The study materials can be obtained in downloadable format and they include many popular, topical names. Downloadable college textbooks are properly constructed and easy to obtain, features that render them a suitable replacement to regular textbooks. Thanks to the combined effort of the initiators of such programs, existing downloadable college textbooks can nowadays be obtained along with downloadable study guides. So if you want to find out more about textbooks and especially about college textbooks, follow these links, you will also find information for the Dutch versions - studieboeken.

Internet Dating: Post A Photo For More Interest And More Dates

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

By Lara Lopez You would think that once you start looking for love and companionship online, appearances wouldn’t count. Many online daters think that they wanted to try online dating because they are sick of people judging them or being attracted to them primarily by their appearance! Technically, your appearance doesn’t count, as long as you are content to type messages to someone. You can have a perfectly good relationship for years without actually laying eyes on the person you’ve gotten to know so well. If your goal is to meet someone in person and actually date or have some sort of personal interaction, a photo is essential. When you only communicate by email or messaging, you build a mental image of your correspondents. Unless you’re clairvoyant, chances are that mental image is wildly inaccurate. When you meet your friend in person, you are likely to be surprised and possibly let down. And of course, the other person is likely to have the same reaction about you, too. A good photo will prevent surprises and letdowns and prospective companions will know what to expect. If you don’t include a photo, other members of your dating site will be suspicious. They might ask why you don’t have one; more likely, they’ll simply ask if you con send them a photo, or fail to approach you in the first place. Online daters want to feel that they have a level playing field on which to compete for attention. If they take the risk of including a photo and you do not, they feel you are being unfair, and this makes them uncomfortable. That’s the last kind of reaction you want to have when you are trying to get someone to go out on a date with you. Reasons Not To Post A Photo You might wonder if there are legitimate reasons for not posting a photo as part of a profile. The most common excuse is that you are unhappy with your looks, and you are afraid your appearance will cause someone to overlook your outstanding personality. The fact is, if you convey everything you have to offer as well as a sense of your personality and someone turns you down because of your photo, you are probably better off not wasting your time with that person in the first place. Even if you do have some legitimate drawbacks with regard to your appearance, there are ways of touching up photos or using lighting to photograph yourself from the side of your face where such features aren’t visible. If you have acne, rosacre, or another problem with your complexion, you can always publish a black and white photo rather than a color one. A floppy hat might help in some cases it’s possibly misleading, but significantly better than no photo at all. You can, of course, edit your photo to digitally improve your appearance. If you are at all familiar with the image editing program Adobe Photoshop, you can easily and effectively erase this or that feature, correct a receding hairline, or improve other attributes. Be prepared, though, for looks of surprise and displeasure when people meet you in person. A better alternative is to improve the technical quality of your photo without changing your actual appearance, by adjusting light, contrast, shading, etc. A Compromise: Restricting Access to Your Photo If you are reluctant to make your photo public, make it private instead. Some sites keep your photo hidden to all but a group you specify. You might make the photo available only to those who are subscribing members of the site and who can be contacted by email for potential dates. Or you might provide access only to those who have sent you a “wink” or a “smile,” or who have expressed interest through email. The option of posting a restricted access photo is certainly better than having no photo at all. It lowers the chances that people who haven’t signed up and who cant be contacted will view your image. However, you need to be aware that it also reduces the number of responses you will receive.

Which Diet Plan Is Best? Study’s Surprising Results

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

By Joey Dweck As the old year comes to a close and everyone begins to look forward to the beginning of a New Year, many people are also anticipating the beginning of their New Years resolutions. For numerous individuals, New Years resolutions will involve vows to cut back on their food intake, get on a diet and exercise regimen and drop at least a few pounds. The question that hangs in the air for those who are anticipating the start of a new diet lies in exactly which diet might happen to be right for them and which diet holds the key to helping them lose the most weight. Certainly, there are numerous diets available and it seems like every few months a new diet or eating plan has emerged to become the new successful diet rage. Is it possible that all the popular diets can help you lose weight or are there certain diets that can help you lose more weight than others? This is the question that a group of researchers set out to answer recently. Over a period of two months, 160 individuals were monitored closely as they followed a supervised program. The varying factor among all 160 program participants was that they were allowed to choose whichever diet suited their fancy. Researchers waited and watched in anticipation to learn which diet or diets would prove to be most successful. What they learned at the conclusion of the study proved to be quite interesting. The data they collected not only helped them to learn more about which diet programs tend to be more successful in terms of total weight loss but also which diet programs more individuals were more likely to stick with for long term weight loss and maintenance. While the study participants were allowed to choose their favorite diet plan, most participants opted for one of the following: Atkins, Weight Loss, Ornish and the Zone. Even though initial data was conducted after just two months, researchers continued to study the remaining participants. They discovered that after a period of time more than half of those participants who opted for diet plans that focused on low carbs and high fat, such as the Atkins plan, dropped out. Additionally, approximately the same percentage of individuals who chose the Ornish plan, which focuses on low fat and high carb vegetarian foods, also quit their diets. Weight Watchers participants fared moderately better, with about two-thirds of that groups participants sticking with it. The Zone participants showed similar results. So, which diet plans performed best overall in terms of total weight loss? Surprisingly, they all performed about the same. Those individuals participating in the Ornish plan who were able to stick with their diet for the entire year achieved a weight loss rate of about 6%; the highest of all groups. Atkins came in at about 4%, with Weight Watchers and the Zone performing at an average of 5% weight loss. Health risk factors related to obesity were an entirely different matter; however. In terms of heart disease risk, Weight Watchers participants decreased their risk by 15%, while other diet plans hovered in the 12% range.
