Casual Articles - My Twenty Cents Worth
This is the first article of a multi-part series on this topic.Part One of this SPECIAL REPORT is about: Organizing Your GroupWould you agree that it's easier complete a job when you have a blueprint to follow? Yes?Also, the exact opposite maybe true which brings us to the old axiom:"Fail to plan, plan to fail"Usually most groups avoid planning because they view it as difficult or tedious or may be in a rush to get going. Don't let this happen!! What appears to be unpleasant far exceeds the dismal results you will have without a plan.Fortunately, the exact opposite is true when you have the necessary tools at your disposal.That is why this report was written. To give you an idea of how easy it is to plan your fundraiser and to stay focused on your goals.Shall we begin?*First of all, I cannot stress this point enough: You need to know why you want to fundraise. You do this by answering the following questions:1)Why do you need to raise money?Answer the above question and you will have the source of your group's motivation and the communi
“But the payment is only twenty cents,” Andy protests. “Can’t I just give them the twenty cents at the tollbooth when I get off the Thruway?”
No.

Andy’s everyday route to work involves a short stint on the New York State Thruway, and the toll for this ride is twenty cents. Lucky for him, the benevolent Thruway Authority provides something they like to call E-Z Pass, wherein you place a sensor square on your windshield and are given permission to proceed through a special toll lane, sans human operator. A machine reads the sensor and charges your account, ostensibly saving the Capital Region’s commuters time by allowing them to glide through the lane (at a leisurely 5 mph) without stopping. Andy has one of these sensor squares stuck to the windshield of his truck, and every morning he habitually drives through the E-Z Pass lane.
My car, however, is not equipped with a sensor square, since I rarely venture onto the Thruway for any reason. Unfortunately, on the day Andy borrowed my car, his Morning Commute Autopilot led him through the forbidden E-Z Pass lane. So, instead of the usual “have a nice day” green light, Andy was molested by a parentally angry red light. Here, the meat of my story begins:
Realizing his mistake, Andy pulls over to the side of the road and, dodging oncoming cars in the morning chill, jogs to a manned tollbooth.
“I forgot I had my wife’s car today,” he explains sheepishly. “Sorry about that.”
The tollbooth operator replies that Andy will have to get a special ticket stub from the booth when he exits the Thruway, and then send it in with payment.
“But the payment is only twenty cents,” Andy protests. “Can’t I just give them the twenty cents at the tollbooth when I get off the Thruway?”
No.

To get an interview call you have to enter the job market to hunt for a job. And you must be prepared to work hard for it. Hard work generates opportunities. Get an attractive visiting card printed. In your job search it will not be easy or practical to hand over your Resume to every person you meet. But it is convenient to give your visiting card.Sometimes even our friends don't know about our skills or qualifications properly. Mention your name, address, e.mail, phone numbers, qualifications, skills in the card. Several good job offers may land in your pocket through friends, relatives or neighbours. They may refer any good opening to you. This is one of the several steps you have to take to get interview calls. Other steps are:a) Read Situations Vacant columns in various newspapers carefully. There are also walk-in interview calls in several advertisements. Just visit the company on the mentioned date and appear for an interview. Also look for vacancy advertisements in special career supplements of a newspaper (which are published every week with the main newspaper).b) See through othe

Most successfully businesses use one or more 3rd party payment processing services to process their credit card orders on Internet, since this doesn't require to obtain a direct merchant account or to setup expensive ssl certificates. The 3rd party payment processing services handles payment by credit card (and usually can handle checks and other forms of payment as well), and sends the seller a monthly (typically) check or wire transfer, minus various processing fees, which vary from service to service.These 3rd party payment processing solutions give the seller a link to a secure webpage where they can redirect their customers to, for completing the order. While the method has many benefits, it also has disadvantages.Below I would like to make an introduction of the basic terms and concepts used by the standard payment processing services, to help sellers Understand better what they need to compare when choosing an payment processing service.Payment Cycle- the time interval during which orders are taken for one payment. Can be monthly, bimonthly, weekly, etc. After each payme

What did Celine Dion, Dominic Hasek, Wayne Gretzky and many of the top performers in the business and professional world, have in common? They all utilized the expertise, skills and encouragement of a professional coach. Each of the celebrities mentioned above are or were paid several millions of dollars each year for their skills. They didn’t stop using a coach as soon as they turned professional or achieved a certain level of recognition for their special talents and abilities. Much of the reason they achieved as much as they did was because they were coached throughout their careers.What is coaching and why should you consider working with a coach? Many people confuse coaching with mentoring. A mentor is someone who knows more than you do in your chosen field or profession. A mentor can help you fill in the blanks in your knowledge of your field. A coach is a strange combination of a catalyst and a balancer. A coach is trained to help you find the perfect direction for your life, career or business. They can guide you through the fog that sometimes settles around you, keeping you from knowing

No.
Turns out Andy’s wild, illegal ride through the E-Z Pass lane set off its taxpayer-funded camera, which took a sharp, clear picture of the license plate. If Andy simply handed over the twenty cents, therefore, there’d be no way to tell the camera that he’d remitted the two valuable dimes, and my white 93 Taurus would be rendered a marked car.
Okay.
So, Andy procures the special ticket stub from the next tollbooth operator; that evening he writes out a check to the New York State Thruway Authority for exactly twenty cents. He and I joke about how it will cost us more than that just to mail the damn thing, but mail it we do, because we are among the honest and upright citizens of the great state of New York.
Perhaps a month or so goes by, and one day a letter comes from the Thruway Authority, addressed to me: You have committed a toll evasion violation and must remit $33.30 immediately. That’s $8.30 (presumably the toll from the farthest exit) plus a $25 administrative fee.
Andy and I laugh. Surely they jest. On the bill there's a toll-free number to contact the sinister-sounding Violation Processing Center, and Andy dials this number to explain the mistake. The overpaid state employee who answers the phone pretends to listen to Andy’s lengthy story and ultimately requests from him a copy of the canceled twenty cent check.
“My bank doesn’t send me any canceled checks,” says Andy. “I get a bank statement at the end of each month and it lists the checks that cleared.”
The state employee’s tired voice tells Andy to fax a copy of the bank statement to her at whatever number, with a cover letter explaining the situation.
Sigh.
