How can you possibly say this?

At first glance, this sounds ridiculous. Diabetes has to do with a glandular organ called the pancreas which is situated behind and slightly under the stomach and tooth decay is a rotting process which occurs in hard tissues of the teeth. The teeth are in the mouth and the pancreas in the peritoneum. They are very far from each other in the body space.

Have they anything in common?

Both teeth and pancreas are organs of digestion. The teeth are at the very beginning of the process, cutting up the food and mashing it in saliva into a suitable form to swallow into the stomach. When the stomach has done its job of further breakdown by acid, the food is pushed on into the first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum.

The pancreas

It is here that the pancreas secretes its contents to bring about further breakdown by enzymes and begin the process of absorption. This process harvests the building blocks of the body’s biology from the food and takes it into the bloodstream to supply the cells of all the organs. One of these building blocks is carbohydrate (sugar), a major source of energy for the cells. The pancreas also produces a hormone called insulin which it secretes into the blood. It is this hormone, insulin which carries carbohydrate into the cells (insulin transport mechanism) where it can be burned as fuel to produce energy.

Diabetes

When the amount of carbohydrate that we bring into our bodies is excessive, the workload of the pancreas is greatly increased and this could be termed an overload. There are many consequences of this overload, one of which is cells becoming resistant to the insulin. One of the effects of this is the build up of carbohydrate (sugar) in the bloodstream (called hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar) which is the hallmark of the condition known as diabetes. There are many other effects on and consequences for the pancreas in the short and long term as well as many other effects and consequences for other organs and the body in general. Yet it boils down to carbohydrate (sugar) and the ability of the pancreas to deal with it. We could say therefore, that diabetes is the effect of diet-related ‘carbohydrate overload’ on the pancreas.

Tooth decay

The major factor in tooth decay is what they call ’sugar frequency’. This could equally be called ‘carbohydrate frequency’. This is the number of times per day that we put sugar (sweet things) into the mouth. Each time we use or bring carbohydrate into the body via the mouth, it (the carbohydrate) is broken down into an acid by the bacteria in the mouth. The acid environment thus produced tends to demineralise the enamel (or dentine) of the tooth in the ‘at risk’ stagnation sites. These are sites on the tooth that are difficult to access by the common methods of hygiene. By repeatedly and or constantly producing the acid trauma at these sites , defects are created in the barrier of the tooth surface. These defects are populated by bacteria which thrive in the acid conditions and the cavity (decaying defect) is produced. The process continues and the cavity gets bigger. We could say therefore, that tooth decay is the effect of diet-related ‘carbohydrate overload’ on the teeth.

So the picture emerges…

The diseases of tooth decay and diabetes represent the effects of diet-related ‘carbohydrate overload’ on the two different tissues. Diet-related ‘carbohydrate overload’ is simply the reflection of our tendency to use sweet taste as a means of comfort or reward. It is thus a method we use to comfort ourselves in stress (feelings of discomfort or upset). It is no more than a ’sweet’ habit, - an addiction to sweet things.

Diabetes and tooth decay speak of our discomfort with ourselves and the circumstances of our lives and the negative feelings that we do our best to sweeten.

Tooth decay and diabetes are the same disease with the same origin, but reflected in two different organs of digestive function.

Self-Employment-Managing your Money …
The way you manage your money is one of the first things you’ll change when you move from employment to self-employment.

You are moving from an environment where you received income in equal amounts at set intervals to one where your income fluctuates.

Managing money in such circumstances is both unfamiliar and uncomfortable for most of us.

These are some tips I developed from my experience of 10+ years of self-employment.

• THOSE PESKY ESTIMATED TAXES

Enter the land of self-employment and you enter the land of quarterly estimated taxes.

You pay estimated income taxes because the Government says you must. Since you no longer have an employer to withhold income taxes, the tax authorities want to make sure that you pay up.

One way to make sure you have money in-hand at the appointed time is to mimic what your employer used to do for you. Take a portion of money you receive and put it away. My solution is to put it into a separate savings account.

By keeping the money separate, you are less tempted to spend it. Then at tax, time, simply transfer it into your checking account and write the check.

It is less painful this way.

Having a method to manage tax payments is most important around April 15 when annual taxes from the previous year and first quarter estimates for the new year come due on the same day.

• GETTING PAID

Banks charge interest when they lend money. Very small businesses and self-employed people

generally don’t. And if they do, they rarely collect. It is hard to lay down the law to slow-pay clients much larger than you and clients who give you a lot of business.

In fact some businesses make it a policy to pay their creditors slowly. They use your money, interest free, at your expense.

Slow-pay and no-pay clients cost you money and mess up your cash flow.

The subject of collections is worthy of a separate article - or book, in itself. But here are a couple of pointers.

Ask to be paid up front when possible. It’s done all of the time. Contractors get deposits and lawyers get retainers.

One piece of conventional wisdom is to have a policy to handle late payments. Set up a system to diary your outstanding invoices. Then follow up at scheduled intervals as needed. Keep a paper trail in case you have to take things further.

Stay on top of overdue billings and keep lines of communication open with the client. The longer a debt remains outstanding, the less likely you’ll get paid.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Be squeaky.

• CREDIT CARDS

Credit card debt can be a killer. Calling the interest rate levels charged on many cards ‘usury’ is not an overstatement. If you have credit card debt, pay it off as quickly as possible.

Nonetheless, credit cards are a necessity in this day and age. When you are on the right side of the credit card companies, credit cards can be a benefit.

You can track expenses by putting it on your card. That can be a real help when you have a lot of petty tax deductible expenses that add up over the course of a year.

If you use your card for this purpose, be sure you pay off your balance every month.

• BUILD A FINANCIAL CUSHION

For self-employed people, having a financial cushion is essential. It is a lifesaver when unexpected expenses come up, or expected income is slow to materialize. In addition, you may want to sock away funds for expected large expenses such as estimated tax payments.

If you can’t swing it in the beginning, build your cushion gradually. Put away money when times are good. Live lightly when times are not.

You’ll find managing your money while being self-employed will get easier over time. You will get to know your cash flow patterns and adjust accordingly. As your business grows it will bring in more money, which itself, does a lot to make you more comfortable.

Motorhomes for hire come in all shapes, sizes and prices. The trick is to find a motorhome to suit your requirements and budget. Smaller vans are easier to handle, but larger vans offer more comfort. If it’s your first time, I suggest you go for the largest van that you feel happy to drive, within your budget. There are a few styles of motorhome to choose from.

A hightop is basically a van conversion with a specially made high fixed roof. These come in various lengths, short, medium and long. These sizes refer to the wheelbase, which is the distance between the front and rear axle. Motohomes with a medium wheelbase are popular hire choices as they are easier to handle than the long wheelbase versions, whilst still offering a good degree of comfort. Some companies also offer motorhome hire with folding roofs. The above types of motorhomes are often referred to as camper vans.

Coachbuilt motorhomes (C class) are generally a lot larger than campers and are more like a house on wheels. Most will have all the comforts of home and often a double bed. Many of the designs have a bed area which sits over the top of the drivers cab. These motorhomes can be expensive to run and hire.

Fuel costs are a definite consideration for many when deciding to hire a motorhome. This problem has been taken on board by the rental companies and manufacturers. Many motorhome hire companies now offer vans with conversions to LPG. This should at least half your fuel costs.

Don’t overstretch your budget on the motorhome hire cost. Part of the enjoyment of the motorhome is being able to visit and enjoy new places. If you are a couple, a medium wheelbase motorhome should provide you with a good overall comfort levels and ease of use.

One thing I should mention is that insurance cover for motorhome hire can be expensive and you should know up front exactly what you are covered for. Take time to review the policy. Remember to comply with most insurance policies you should carry out the daily maintenance tasks on the motorhome as specified by your rental agent.

You’ve booked the motorhome hire, now what.

Well it really depends on what type of holiday you are looking for. If you are using the motorhome as a base to visit new places then to get the most out of your hire, it’s always a good idea to plan your route in advance. This means that you will know each day where you are going and don’t waste any time deciding where to go while on your holiday. Of course for some, there will be no route and hiring a motorhome is all about the open road with a new adventure each day.

Stephen Thomas is a developer and writer for a number of online travel websites, including the UK Away Travel Directory where you can find a comprehensive list of motorhome and camper van hire companies.

If you’re a business owner, you probably spend quite a lot of your time at networking events. In fact, it may be the main way you try to get new clients. But do you ever feel that you could get more from these meetings? Do you actually get the results from your networking to justify the amount of time you put into it?

If you don’t find you get a lot of interest from the people you meet, it may be that you’re going about things the wrong way. You may need a new approach.

My own view is that you can’t go far wrong if you think of networking more like dating. The two activities have a lot in common ( although, I must admit, I’m relying on distant memory here ). Here are some things you need to think about.

1. What sort of person do you want to meet?

If your answer is ” anyone ” you risk wasting time talking to a lot of people who just aren’t going to be ” the one “. You also sound a bit desperate, to be honest. Not everyone is going to be your ideal client. Once you know who that is, you can be more choosy about who you talk to.

2. Where are you likely to meet them?

There are lots of places to meet people, but where will you find your ideal person - in a club, at evening classes, at the Bingo? Don’t just go to the first place you find, pick the event where you know the person you’re looking for is most likely to be.

3. Think about joining a dating agency so you can look through details of the other members.

Look at the members list of any group before joining if you can get hold of it ( ask for photographs if possible ). Also, look at the list of attendees before a meeting so you can make a beeline for the people you want to talk to.

4. Accept that it takes time to build a relationship.

Don’t expect too much too soon. People will need time to get to know and trust you and, in this case, you’re looking for a long term relationship, not a one - night stand.

5. Think of something interesting to say about yourself.

If someone asks you ” What do you do? ” don’t just say ” I’m a Financial Adviser ” or ” I’m a Consultant ” and expect them to swoon. Tell them what you do for people, how you help, the problems you solve. But don’t make things up to impress them, you’ll be found out sooner or later.

6. Don’t spend the whole time talking about yourself.

One secret for getting people to like you is to ask them about themselves. Be a great listener, not a great talker. People love talking about themselves, they don’t want to listen to you telling them how wonderful you are. Stop talking before they lose the will to live and ask a question. Prepare some good ones in advance so your mind doesn’t go blank. Avoid ” Do you come here often? ” or ” So what line of business are you in? ” Try to find something you both have in common.

7. Don’t be too pushy on your first date.

Just because someone shows an interest doesn’t mean you can bombard them with information about all your products or services. You’ll look too needy and that puts people off.

8. People always say they’ll ring, they never do.

Sad but true. Don’t rely on other people ringing you, make sure you get their number so you can call them. It’s much more important to get someone else’s business card than to give them your own. It gives you the initiative.

9. Keep your numbers in a little black book.

Set up a contact management system so you don’t lose the details of the people you meet. This might just be a card index or it might be sophisticated software. Whatever it is, have a system which you know how to use.

10. Keep in touch.

Do contact them again if you got on well, they want you to really. Call or write, refer back to your conversation and mention something they said. Send them an article about an interest they mentioned, it will show you were listening and you care about them. It’s amazing how many people go to networking events, then never follow up with the people they meet. Don’t expect ” love at first sight “, it takes several contacts before someone is likely to do business with you.

I hope that’s given you some ideas. Of course, you still have to remember the basics, such as dressing up a bit and cleaning your teeth, but that’s down to you.

And, of course, there is one big difference between networking and dating - with networking, you’re allowed to see lots of people at the same time!

Good luck.

So you have a good idea for a business and decided that the Internet would be the perfect place to start it.

WAIT.

Having an aspiration is only half the battle. In fact, too many people start an Internet Business with only a hunch or a rough idea of what they plan to do. I’ve also heard that if you don’t know where you are going, you are guaranteed to get there!

I can’t stress how important it is to have a clear idea of your goal and develop the strategies to attain it. Too many people overlook that and that, my friend, is why they reached Nowhere Land in their Internet Business vehicle. Wouldn’t it be silly of you to climb into your car just to find that you don’t know where you want to go? On the same token, why should having a goal or financial destination be any exception?

And when times get tough (notice I didn’t say IF), you will have to be tougher. Tough times don’t last, tough men do. Many of the successful Internet Entrepreneurs you see on the Internet have been through tough times, in one way or another, before they succeed. Also notice that most of them coped with difficulties by expanding their Internet Business offerings rather than contracting.

So before you sign up with a web hosting provider, you will want to consider the following:

Know whom you want to reach
Just who in particular will you want to target? Remember that not everyone may like the same thing. For instance, if you are selling a manual on how to cook oriental dishes, then your targets are housewives and chefs. Obviously, don’t expect a 9-year-old kid to buy that product from you.

Tip: Look through Usenet newsgroups where people in your market find out.

Know what you want to accomplish
As discussed earlier, you have to be clear about your Internet Business goals. You will also want to make a one-line mission statement and follow by it. If you would refer to our mission statement, the aim of E-Biz Wiz Blog is helping you to start your profitable journey on the Internet.

Recognize Your Competition
This can be done easily by visiting their web sites or via search engines. You will want to know what they have done and make a list of things they do that you can do better.

Determine Your Internet Business Model
To date, there are 19 existing Internet Business Models. This will depend on the type of product or service you are offering. If you sell an E-book, then you will need just a Killer Sales Letter page to persuade prospects to buy your E-Book from you. If you are selling advertising spaces then you will need many pages of valuable content or write your own E-zine.

More detailed step-by-step information on setting your own Internet Business Models can be found in http://www.ebizmodelsyoucancopy.com/index5.htm.

Know Your Product(s) and/or Service(s)
If you are selling more than a product, you must be sure that they are relevant. If you are selling E-books on how to be a cartoonist then they must all be related to drawing your own cartoon.

The important thing is not to rush to the Internet with an idea that isn’t well thought or planned out. You will most probably get bored of it quickly or get discouraged when you fail to put your bright ideas together.

As long as you have a business plan, people who will help you along and strategies lined up in place, you are more likely to stay with your Internet Business project through any ups and downs you encounter.

Regardless of what automakers tell us, the internal combustion engine has changed very little in the past hundred years. In fact, Ford’s Model T averaged 28 mpg, while Ford’s current model of the Explorer barely makes 16 mpg. No matter how you look at it, that isn’t what you would call progress.

However, Peter Diamandis, founder of the X Prize, hopes to force automakers to do better by offering the first Automotive X Prize, which will focus on the creation of a new breed of vehicles that will be far more fuel efficient than anything offered by the current automobile industry. Part of the innovative rules for the competition will be that the winning vehicle will be made available to consumers at a price they can afford.

The X Prize Foundation hopes to encourage entrepreneurs to bring about significant changes in the way vehicles are propelled, with one of the main focuses still being on the use of fossil fuel, since the vast majority of consumers still would prefer to be able to use a "gas station" model when refueling.

The Auto X Prize money hasn’t been officially announced, but they awarded $10 million to the winner of their competition for the world’s first private spaceflight in 2004. The challenge this time: build a vehicle that gets up to 250 mpg while creating little or no pollution. It’s a change that’s sorely needed, and since the government and Big 3 automakers don’t seem capable of making it happen, perhaps prizes such as the X Prize will bring about the change.

There are other prizes being offered by other organizations, and surprisingly, some of the largest potential awards come from the federal government. For instance, the Department of Energy (DOE) has been authorized to award up to $10 million in incentives for technology that can be used to affordably convert wood and other fibers into ethanol. The DOE also has been authorized to offer what’s been dubbed the Freedom Prize, a $5 million award for workable methods to significantly lessen America’s dependence on foreign oil. Unfortunately, congress has yet to appropriate any actual money to fund either one of those prizes.

The good news for consumers in the long run is that the federal government may be catching on the fact that large cash awards can stimulate innovation in the private sector, but it’s been a long time coming. Charles Lindbergh flew solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927 in pursuit of a $25,000 prize, but the government has done little since then to stimulate interest in alternative energy sources or fuel efficient vehicles.

The technology is out there, and if American entrepreneurs have enough incentive, our energy problems can be defeated. Here’s hoping the X Prize Foundation’s auto competition will be the first giant step in that process. It worked for private space flight, so there’s no reason not to believe it won’t work for those of us here on Earth, as well.

If you were to save up for a “cruise of a lifetime”, that you are an experience that will “exceed your expectations”, and which is “like no vacation on earth”, aren’t you being set up for disappointment?

Nowadays, the advertising that cruise lines use sets us up expectations for perfection……or at least suggest that everything we think a cruise should be will be realized. On the other side of the coin is the reality. Very often cruisers have been served food with shards of glass, been in a cabin next to a member of the casino staff who would blare the tv at 3AM, been given air tickets that return
them to a different city than from where they leave. It’s really bad service.

Have you been on a cruise with minimal air conditioning, had a company forget to provide the transportation from a precruise package to the ship. In each of these cases, sometimes the companies involved have not responded to these problems in appropriate ways. If you change your attitude, will the bus that doesn’t show up all of a sudden appear? We certainly think not.

While one’s expectations need to be realistic, many cruisers have appear to be willing to accept things that some would find intolerable — cold food is not an attitude problem; poached eggs that have been
cooked-refrigerated-then dumped in hot water before serving (a common practice on cruise ships — it explains why the eggs on eggs benedict are hard) are no better when one has a “fun” attitude; insulting
comments by cruise staff because one doesn’t want to play their games is not the fault of the passengers; and a company taking the robes from a cabin the last night of the cruise (ostensibly so they can be cleaned, though we all know it is because they don’t want them stolen) does not change because of a difference in attitude.

If a company says they will exceed my expectations - I am sure you want your expectations to be exceeded… Isn’t this truth in advertising? Would you buy any other product that makes promises that you know will not be realized and walk away happy — after all, it is just your attitude?? We
truly wonder……..

Nobody talks about it. Nobody thinks about it.

Until it happens.

Then it goes to hell in a hand basket. Nobody has a plan for it. Nobody prepares for it.

It could be anything, right? But it isn’t. It is much more important than anything.

It is happening as you read these words to approximately 40 million Americans. Nobody knows the number for the world, but it is huge.

It happens at one particular moment and it is at that moment one of two events takes place. Event one makes you a caregiver or event two makes you a care receiver.

Ronald Reagan proved position, power and wealth matter not an iota. Christopher Reeve became a “champion of the cause” after it happened to him. The average Joe and Mary Sixpack are too numerous to mention but as you can imagine they comprise the bulk of the caregiving/care receiving population.

You see, about one in six Americans is either a caregiver or a care receiver and very few of them are prepared for the responsibilities inherent in the task. Regardless of the level of preparation, life has changed and you are thrust into a new role.

New responsibilities, tasks, adjustments, questions, opinions, actions and reactions seem to flood you like a tsunami. But, unlike the clean up efforts in the aftermath of a tsunami when agencies, governments, and peoples from all over the world come to the rescue, there doesn’t seem to be a soul available to help you.

Fortunately, that’s just a perception as there is a free manual available for download at http://www.senior2senior.org that is the blueprint for everyone in the care giving arena. It takes the process step by step to insure both sides of the equation, giver and receiver, have access to a quality program suited to their particular situation and needs.

It is packed with resources that will lighten the burden and provide a clear path on which to proceed. Updates are always free and senior2senior encourages everyone to tell others where they can get their own personal copy.

Since no one is immune from it, it only makes sense to take at least minimal steps to help ourselves before it visits us and puts us in one of the only two categories it knows. After all, who is better prepared to handle your personal it than you?

Windsor Castle is alleged to be the largest colonised castles around right now & the eldest in continuous occupation (around 900 years). It is one of the Queen’s three main residences, & is tine & time again understood to be the Queens most liked home. The Royal colours flutters over the Round Tower of Windsor Castle at whatever time Queen Elizabeth 2nd is in palace - nonetheless, at other periods, the Union Jack flag flies as normal.

Samuel Pepys stated Windsor Castle to be “the most loving castle in the world.” That was in sixteen-sixty-six & the same can be said today. Buy Windsor Castle tickets at great prices from Enjoy England.

Windsor Castle Interesting History:

The assembly of Windsor can be found lying in the early 7th century Saxon village of Windlesora, where the current day dwellings of Old Windsor is. The town of Windsor is commonly identified as “New Windsor” - the word “new” being used in a strictly relative way!

Windsor Castle was initially put together by the illustrious William the Conqueror, as a result of his hit of England in ten sixty six. The original structure was built from lumber with sol ramparts. The Castle held a noticeable strategic location on a steep hill high above the River Thames, & was one part of a set of strongholds in the region London, with the Tower of London, one day’s hike away, at its middle.

The Palace was then later re-erected in rock, and rose in significance over time. More recently Henry II redesigned the Round Tower and the original stone outer wall. After the English Civil War, the structure’s crucial function became that of a royal dwelling. Windsor Castle has remained largely unchanged ever since the beginning of the nineteenth century, apart from the restoration work after the recent fire.

“There’s no way I can hire anyone to do what I do. No one can do it as well as I can.”

Do you resemble that remark? If so, you’ve got much in common with most other business owners in the world. We never think that anyone else will give something the time, attention, and dedication that we will. And, you’re right, to some degree. No one cares as much about your business as you do. However, if you don’t choose to delegate those things that prevent you from engaging in business development, marketing, and sales activities, you won’t be in business very long.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been in business for awhile, the thought of bringing on a support team member can be daunting, and you wonder, “How can I bring in someone else when it’s just going to increase my expenses?”

You need to make the shift to seeing this cost as an investment in your business, rather than as an expense, and let go of the need to be in control.

I recently read about a statistic quoted in the life insurance industry, which stated that for every additional support team member employed in a small professional services firm, the firm experienced a 40% increase in gross revenues. Why does this increase occur? Because your support team takes work away from you, which allows you to focus on increasing revenues - either by making more sales or working on the marketing systems that will lead to more sales.

I realize this sounds overly simplistic — if you want to increase your revenues by 40%, simply just employ someone on your support team. Of course, it is not that simple in reality. Hiring a support team requires you to trust your own judgment and ability to use this extra time to generate more revenues. And that’s the key here - if you hire a support person and keep doing what you’re doing, the concept won’t work. You have to hire the person and ensure that you’re taking on the role of business development.

The best way to illustrate this is to look at your “lost opportunity” costs. Say, for example, you’re a marketing consultant and you charge $175 per hour. Yesterday, your ACT! database was malfunctioning and it took you 7 hours to fix the problem and do the mail merge and printing and mailing of your sales letter to the new list of 100 prospective customers that you just purchased. Do you realize that 7 hours really cost you $1225? How? Your hourly rate of $175/hour multiplied by the number of hours it took you to do this task (7) equals $1225.

What would have been more effective? Finding a great Virtual Assistant to do this for you in half the time for a portion of your hourly fee. If you had hired the expertise of a masterfully skilled Virtual Assistant charging $45/hour, for example, my guess is that she probably could have completed the project in a portion of the time, say 4 hours, for a final cost to you of $180. Big cost savings over the $1225 it cost you to do the same project. With that project off your plate, you then have the time to go out seeking more $175/hour opportunities.

Amazing, isn’t it? For a $180 investment, for example, you now have the time to complete the proposal to do that corporate training program you spoke about with an HR person two weeks ago. A week later, the HR person calls and tells you that they’ve accepted the proposal valued at $10,000 in income over the course of the year. Would you have had time to complete that proposal if you had not handed off this ACT database project? Perhaps, but I bet it would have forced you to work late into the night to complete it.

What operational aspects of your business could you delegate to someone else? If you had extra time, how could you increase the revenues of your business? Give these questions strong consideration–you may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.
