Habits are easy, and they help us get through the day. Do them too often, however, and you end up in a rut. Let the ruts get too deep and it is hard to find a new solution to a problem or challenge. Sometimes drastic measures are needed to break out of the rut. Break the Habit - Try a New ApproachIf you need a fresh idea, try a new direction. Consider using a technique called "Random Input." This technique helps you break away from restrictive thinking patterns. It opens a conversation about new solutions you normally might not associate with the problem.How it Works...Begin by selecting a random noun from the dictionary or one that strikes your fancy. It works best if the noun is something that can be seen or touched (e.g., helicopter, dog). Use this noun as the starting point for brainstorming.Next, look for ways to connect the noun to the challenge at hand. As you brainstorm, do not eliminate or evaluate ideas. Let your mind wander. Capture every idea. Yes, you will have some useless ones. Others may lead to valuable insights. And at least one is likely to make a startling, creative leap.<

1. Health Savings Accounts (HSA)This is a strategy where the employer buys a health plan with a large deductible. Typically, these are groups that are coming from a plan with a very low deductible. Since the higher deductible plans are usually much less money, the money saved is used to put into the employee's "Health Savings Account." The money in this account is used by the employee to pay qualified medical expenses. If it's not used, the money rolls over to the next year. The money belongs to the employee, even if they leave the company.2. Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA)This is very similar to the HSA above but a portion of the qualified medical expenses not covered by the insurance is "pledged" by the employer, that is, the employer only spends the money, if there is a portion of the bill not paid by the insurance. This would be more favorable to the employer since on an HSA the money goes to the employee, whether there are claims or not. The problem with HRAs is that there are very few carriers that offer them right now.3. Medical Reimbursement AccountsThis is very similar to HRAs above and

Plight for independence
The Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, made up of Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Macedonia, was declared in 1945. Ethnic tensions were masked under the reign of authoritarian communist leader Josip Broz Tito. Still 10 years after his death in 1980 the federation lived on, but under Serbian nationalist leader Slobodan Milosevic it fell apart as blood was shed throughout the 1990s. Devastating wars raged in Croatia and Bosnia, and fierce violence flared up in Kosovo, a small province of Serbia. International pressure on President Milosevic grew amid the escalating violence and in 1999 Nato carried out air strikes on Serbia and Kosovo. The UN took over the administration of the Kosovo region making it an international protectorate although legally still part of Serbia.

As a fan of both the classical and the modern, I interchange between both. However I believe there are certain times when each has its place - and I have to say that today I decided eCards suck at Christmas!Here's 7 reasons why:They're lazy. [They say… “I was in a hurry, and forgot to get you a real card.”]They're cheap. [They say… “You're not worth a couple of dollars for a card and a stamp.”]They get blocked by email spam filters. [Oh joy!]They're impersonal. [Nothing says “Your special” like a handwritten eCard. It just warms the heart doesn’t it?]They require the reader to work for your “special gift.” ‘Dear Bob, Simply visit our online eCard store to download your eCard [number 898323232423] using pass code TRX46546'.” Golly, just thinking about logging onto yet another online retail store to be bombarded by promotional messages while trying to find my “special gift” just makes feel so festive!They're temporary. And who wants to print out their eCard on the office laser printer anyway? Whoever said that ‘Toner Black’ is the new green &

What is Overselling?Overselling is a marketing gimmick that many hosting companies use where they promise more (often far more) resources than they have available to try and lure clients onto their servers. Extreme amounts of disk space and bandwidth for very low prices to try and convey value are the hallmark of these providers.If you’ve recently gone searching for a hosting plan, you’ve undoubtedly seen an ad or two (or a thousand) promising “$2 a Month! 500 GB of Storage! 2 TB of Bandwidth! Host Unlimited Domains!”or some equally outrageous offer. This is overselling at its finest.Anatomy of the OversellA new hosting provider leases a dedicated server with 2 GB of RAM, a 120 GB hard drive and 500 GB of monthly bandwidth and costs $150 per month.Now let’s suppose that this host was planning to sell hosting packages for $3 with 100 GB of disk space, and 500 GB of bandwidth (which, by the way, is nowhere near the extremes that some hosting plans go to).Anyone who understands basic math instantly recognizes that if the host actually allowed just a single user to use the resources he or she ha

There are many approaches to initiating trades and selecting stocks for investment purposes, but many of the "experts" who provide advice on getting into a day trading or investment position fall short when it comes to insights into when and at what price to get out. Let's assume for purposes of this discussion that you have a rational basis for making the investment, or initiating the trade, in the first place, and that you have a reasonably well-disciplined approach to cutting your losses if the price of the stock does the opposite of what you expect or hope. Often the situation that experienced traders, and especially long-term investors, have the most difficulty dealing with is the happy period when the price of the stock has risen well into the profit range. How do you know when and where to get out?A brief description of the economic concept of "opportunity cost" can help us bring some logic and good judgement to the challenge of deciding when to exit trades. Opportunity cost is the value of the next best thing you can do with your resources. Your resources clearly include your money, but they can also include your time and your comfo

Serbia and Montenegro had together formed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia between 1992 and 2003, however Montenegro’s leaders had detached themselves from Milosevic's handling of Kosovo, and following his fall from leadership in October 2000 were evermore keen for state independence. Plans for independence were not forgotten, but it would seem postponed, with the formation of the union of Serbia and Montenegro in 2003. Remnants of the ex-communist state were abolished and a new, looser union between the two republics was created.
This union, brokered by the EU was intended to steady the region by straightening out Montenegro’s demands for independence and averting further changes to the Balkan borders. Under the constitutional charter of this union, there is a federal presidency and defence as well as foreign ministries, however the two republics of Montenegro and Serbia are semi-independent states, which are in charge of their own economies and have their own legislation. The union was set to last a minimum of three years, after which both states could hold a referendum to decide on the future of the union. In May 2006 Montenegrins will hold a referendum to decide if they want to separate completely from Serbia. A voting majority of 55% will be able to approve a ‘yes’ for independence.
