If you believe the advertising, you need a new computer every six months. That isn't true, of course; a good one should run well for up to four years.The constant march of technology does leave many people with the nagging feeling that they are missing out if they don't buy at least every two years. At the same time, today's PCs are built to last longer than ever. Indeed, there are tradeoffs in deciding how long to own the same computer. PCs constantly are being upgraded to offer more speed and power at reduced cost.But there will be a point wh

As we enter a new year, we marvel at the mass media for once again missing the boat when it comes to investment news stories for 2006.According to the mass media, the Dow breaking into a new high was the story or the year. The Dow was up 14.7% last year which was an excellent year for the index. But uranium was up almost 100% (97%) last year. We have had a number of readers ask us why we are not more heavily invested in the mainstream markets; our answer is that we prefer 100% gains to 14.7% gains.Amazing at it may seem, the fact that uranium has ju
October 19, 2006, the Greek Parliament passed Law 3500/2006 on the Combating Intra-family Violence, under which corporal punishment of children within the family is prohibited. Article 4 of the law states:
“Physical violence against children as a disciplinary measure in the context of their upbringing brings the consequences of Article 1532 of the Civil Code.”
The prohibition brings the number of states in Europe to 15 (16 worldwide) which have enacted legislation explicitly prohibiting all corporal punishment of children, including in the home setting.
The states include: Sweden (1979), Finland (1983), Norway (1987), Austria (1989), Cyprus (1994), Denmark (1997), Latvia (1998), Croatia (1999), Bulgaria (2000), Germany (2000), Iceland (2003), Romania (2004), Ukraine (2004) and Hungary (2005).
Twenty-two U.S. states allow corporal punishment in school. Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wyoming.
If your state allows paddling in school, I urge you to do what YOU can to pass a bill in your state to prevent legalized child abuse. And I also, urge you to do what YOU can to pass a resolution to refrain from allowing corporal punishment of children in the home as well. See http://www.nospankingzone.org

The Gallup Organization surveyed 200,000 individuals in 36 organizations, across 21 industries about their level of engagement. Only 29% of employees reported that they were engaged or highly engaged at work. An astounding 55% reported that they were not engaged (think of their attitude as “wait-and-see”) and an even more revealing 16% reported that they were actively disengaged (think of behavior such as complaining, arguing and actively sabotaging the organization’s efforts).The same research reveals that employees often join organizations feeling h

By following a few basic precautions, you might eliminate a lot of potential problems you can come across when installing your satellite dish.

What makes an on-line business effective are the same ingredients that make any business effective. The only difference is that in an on-line business we don’t see our customers. We don’t see the other people who work in our business. We don’t see most of the people we bring in to the business. But the principles are the same.I did a research study a while back to find out the out the most common factors of effective businesses. My study design was a meta-analysis. All that means is that I studied what other people had already studied about wha

When looking for investors in a new business – I usually suggest that you go first seek out any grants or government assistance that your state, county or country offer – as this money is often subsidized and easier to obtain for a new business.Your next stop would be the bank. They will be seeking to lend you money that is secured on some kind of collateral. A business loan is more usually for 2 – 5 years. A bank will not generally want to get involved with your business – just some confirmation that they will get their money back with interes
