Casual Articles - Confession of Sins - Part 3
Experts agree that the best winning strategy in team sports is a strong defense and I totally agree. The NCAA basketball finals are proving the importance of defense with each game. We write this article, because protecting the basket is as important in basketball as protecting the sale in business. Every business and salesperson must maintain and develop strong business relationships if they want to hold back the competition.Unfortunately, many businesses and salespeople lose business by not protecting the sale of existing customers. Generally speaking, every business loses about 10 percent of its client's base each year. This fact can be very scary if the 10 percent loss is from your best clients. A strong defensive sales tactic will not only protect the sale of each customer, it will also strengthen each business relationship gaining client share from existing customers.Taking Care of BusinessWhen consulting with some businesses, many of them are more interested in building new clients than developing and growing the clients they have. The truth is that, it is much easier to grow an established business from their existing client base. Most of your customers don't realize all the things you do and it is easier to capture new business from them. When we understand that it takes somewhere between 3 to 7 times more effort to win a new customer, it is not always a good strategy to target new customer first.The Challenge of Selling to Invisible ClientsOne of the challenges for technology companies is adjusting and developing business relationships with invisible clien
Surety bond plays a major role in the development of the economy. In every business environment surety bonds are the most needed requirement to fulfill their aspects in a correct form. Nowadays, trends have been changed and people want to compile their requirements legally. So, every obligee requires their business to be done legally. Surety bond explains the essential factors and their requirements in the economy. The main purpose of issuing surety bonds is to give a guaranteed performance of contract. Generally, most of contractors enters in to a contract and do not complete the contract as per the terms and conditions of contract. Each party involved in the process has a defined responsibility and role with one another.In case of breach of contract by the obligator, this surety bonds will be more helpful for the obligee to sue both principal and surety in the court of law. Surety bonds are issued in different types and at different premiums as per the requirements of the obligee. Nowadays, surety bonds are needed in all business environments. A surety bond determines the responsibility and roles of different people who are engaged in the contract. When the person engaged in the business, he is obliged to obtain a license from the department. To obtain this license, the applicant is required to procure surety bonds of many kinds as per their business. Without license, no person can engage in the business, also without surety bonds no person can obtain license from the prescribed department.Therefore surety bonds describe the responsibility and role played in the economy. Surety bond classifies the main aspects needed
"One of the most successful tactics the demons use in neutralizing their enemies (the Christians) is to get them to dwell on all of their failures. Once they begin feeling guilty about their performance in the Christian life, they are no longer any threat to Satan's program.

Radical fundamentalists have been the boon of religions from the outset; one only needs to remember the Inquisition and the Crusades to understand that Islam is not the first religion that has allowed a few to go bad. However, of late I have been doing some research on the prophet Mohammed, if one wants to call him such, and I am becoming more confused as I go.First though, let’s look at the religion the Romans called the Cult of Jesus. Objectively, we can look back through history and for a hundred or so years after Jesus lived there is precious little that survives. If it weren’t for the letters of Paul and a few references to Jesus and His crucifixion in Roman history, we may not have known about Him because the Jewish religion would probably have absorbed the Jerusalem Christians by the time the Temple was destroyed. That He is remembered at all is a testament not to men but to the power of the man who was Jesus. We can not lay hands on the historical figure of Jesus but we can be certain that He was here and that His life changed the world.Muhammad, like many successful leaders, broke with existing restraints in Islam by what Encyclopedia Britannica calls “transformative conservatism”. He expanded his authority; by giving existing practices a new history, he reoriented them; by assigning a new cause to existing problems, he resolved them. His character fit his historical situation perfectly. At least, in his Mecca years he was a consensus builder even if he was breaking down tribal beliefs in favor of a universal definition of the faith. However, when he moved to Medina, he began to provide for his community throug

The U.S. economy has slowed in 2005 after 2 1/2 years of robust growth. Moreover, growth has decelerated further from the recent impacts of hurricanes and persistently high oil prices. However, a boost in government expenditures to rebuild the areas hit by hurricanes Katrina and Rita may accelerate growth later in the year or early next year.Monetary policy remains accommodative. The slow and steady tightening cycle has generally been effective in preempting inflation. However, the Fed Funds Rate may need to rise above 5% to reach a neutral stance. Also, fiscal policy remains stimulative. Government tax cuts are still in place and expenditures continue to be high. Consequently, the risk of stagflation is higher (i.e. lower growth with higher inflation). Inflation is the mechanism that prevents an economy from expanding greater than it's capacity over time, and the Fed will continue to tighten the money supply to maintain price stability.The Federal Reserve uses crude tools to smooth-out the business cycle. It controls the money market, through the commercial banking system, which indirectly controls the goods and labor markets. However, the Fed has little or no effective control over other markets, including the housing, bond, stock, commodities, and foreign exchange markets, because it doesn't posses the tools to fine-tune the economy. Sustainable growth for the largest economy in the world is about 2.8% real growth. If the Fed can achieve and maintain 2.5% to 3% real growth, through price stability, then it has succeeded in "optimizing" the economy.The chart below is an SPX daily chart over the past four months

Did you know that search engines will give greater weight to a web sites backlinks - ie text links from other web sites - if and when those links are on domains hosted on diverse IP addresses.Hmmm... that makes sense you know as in the real world a popular site has links coming in from all over the globe.The quickest way to tell the search engines you are linking to your own web sites is to link from a site that is located on the same IP address. So, if all your domains are hosted with one host on one server there is a great chance they all share an IP or a block of IP addresses in the same class c block.That can spell TROUBLE and trigger filters if you link among your own sites.OH NO! I want to link to my own sites!Fortunately, I found that there were web hosts offering dedicated servers for much less than I was paying and I adapted and spread my domains over 3 new servers with clean IP addresses. You see, the search engines, and Google in particular, had become so sophisticated that they could figure out that servers had IP addresses that were all in the same class C block, and if too many links came from the same IP range, it signaled a red flag to go up (it still does by the way) and they’d ban the interlinking sites.So the solution that worked then and works now is what I like to call IP Diversity. Make sure that if you link your web sites among themselves that you make an effort to spread the domains onto different servers with as many different class c IP Addresses that you can.By class C, I refer to the third octet in an IP address. example 212.16.17.14 - the 17 is the CLAS

Before beginning Search Engine Optimization, it is very useful to define your goals. It will be tempting to make more traffic or a number one ranking on Google your SEO Goal. Everyone wants to be number one on Google. That is only natural. More traffic to a web site is a real accomplishment. But a truly successful Search Engine Optimization (SEO) campaign is about more than just traffic. After all, you can have thousands of people tromping through your web site, but if not one of them results in sale or a phone call, what does it matter?A good SEO plan should help you think carefully about your web presence. What truly represents success to you? What exactly do you want the web user to do when on your site? Also, who is your target audience?For example, you are a house painter based in the Boston area, and you are thinking about building a web presence. You want your company’s name, Joe Schmo House Painting, to appear when a searcher types in House Painting. But do you really? What if the web user lives in London? What if you have a pay per click campaign, and you just paid 5 cents for someone who lives thousands of miles away to click on your ad? What if this happens hundreds of times? That is money right out the window.It is imperative to answer some key questions. Who is your target audience? How are you going to measure success – is it more traffic to your site or is it more sales? The more defined the answer to these questions, the clearer and more successful your SEO campaign can be. For Joe Schmo House Painting, a goal of “more phone calls to the 1-800 number that result in projects” is a better goal then
"After a week went by, I began to be concerned a little about where the money was going to come from to pay him. But I had another week to work on it, so I wasn't too worried.
"The second week went by, and I just couldn't raise the money anywhere. I felt kind of strained around my friend, but I didn't bring the subject up because I'd hoped he'd forgotten what the date was.
"As the days went by, it seemed as though he was looking at me with an accusing expression every time I saw him, and I did the best I could to stay out of his way. After the deadline had passed by two weeks, I began planning my day so I wouldn't run into him. It was awful. I felt terrible to have lost such a good friend, but on the other hand, I couldn't see why he wasn't more understanding of my problem. Mind you, not a word pas
