Am I Allowed to Put Community College Credits on a High School ...

When you homeschool high school, three months really can equal one year - when your kids are doing dual enrollment at a local community college. Dual enrollment is offered to students in many states. It provides high school and university credit at the same time. Homeschoolers take advantage of dual enrollment to help defray higher education fees by providing students the option to acquire university credit while still homeschooling.

"3 months equals 1 year" because in a community college, they don't spend a whole year going through a textbook. They'll commit three months, instead. For example, they might take only three months to got through a level of French that would normally take a full year in homeschool. Similarly, in high school American History, it takes a whole year to get a credit. At a university, you can finish the course in a quarter or semester.

In addition, students will usually just take three full courses at a time, then three months later they take another three classes, and then another three. In the upper grades, almost everyone takes more classes than that. In high school, calculus covers... well, calculus. In a year of college calculus, students might cover calculus 1, calculus 2, and multivariable calculus. And so that is why...

What a secondary school calls one credit will be covered in one year, while a college will cover the same material in three months and call it 5 credits. In other words, three months at a university can equal one whole year of high school.

Each university has its own way of translating community college credits into their credits, and some don't take such credits at all.

Even so, if you are seeking to try to reconcile college credits onto your homeschool transcript, you may want to give consideration to the "5 college credits = 1 high school credit" equation to help you on your transcript.

We chose dual enrollment because we were aiming our children toward college. Failing to aim their students on the way to college is one of the "5 Biggest Mistakes Parents Make When Homeschooling High School. " Learn how to avoid all 5 mistakes in my free e-mail mini-course.

Business Branding Exercise: Is Your Message Clear to Your ...

Business Branding Exercise: Is Your Message Clear to Your Audience?

Is your business branded properly? What is the most important thing you want others to know? Why are you here? What do you have a burning desire to share? Your answer to those questions will become your ?key message? ? one that you repeat over and over again in conversations, content and product creation. It should be easy to say and remember. Your key message should be used consistently in news releases, blog posts, social media, products and other communications.

The bummer is that most business owners THINK they have a clear message. They think all they need is ?more web traffic? and everyone will buy from them. If you are not getting the sales you want, you may want to revisit your message. It could be confusing or not worded correctly, which creates a lack of interest and no one buys.

When developing/refining your message, think first about your audience. What do you want them to think? Feel? Do? Feelings are what motivate people to act. That feeling may be compassion, concern, anger or joy. One of your goals in delivering your message should be to spark a feeling, whether it?s pride, frustration or outrage.

It?s smart to come up with three talking points, stories and examples that support your key message. These may change based on the needs and interests of your audience.

Take out a sheet of paper and go through the following exercise I have developed for you (free hand suggested, not on computer). It is extremely important you follow the sequence! Start by answering question #1 to the best of your ability, then move on to #2.

  • What is your overall passion?
  • What are your objectives? What do you want to have happen in your company?
  • What products or services do you offer, do you want to develop?
  • Who is your audience?
  • Develop a mission statement (refine and rewrite until it is crystal clear).
  • Why are you committed to this mission? How will you show your commitment?
  • Why is this mission important to your audience?
  • Use the above information to create an elevator pitch (a few sentences to explain your company and passion to a prospect in 30 seconds or less!). Refine and edit until you have it down pat and feel 100% confident in your pitch.
  • List three supporting points/benefits for your elevator pitch.
  • List three examples/stories/facts that support this pitch (good to have this in your back pocket for when the prospect asks you for more information).
  • Use your elevator pitch as a foundation to write a 15 word or less power statement. Explain your company vision and services in 15 words or less. (This is a great sentence to use in your social network bio section which usually allows for 140 characters or less.)
  • Finally, use your power statement to develop a new branding tagline which needs to be 5 words or less ideally, no more than 7 words.

If you follow this sequence (and all instructions above) you will feel more empowered than you ever have about the direction of your business. You will have renewed energy and confidence to become the industry authority and expert in your niche. I would suggest you not take another step in your company unless it?s this one. Everything stems from your message and branding tagline.

Greg Mortenson is back in the spotlight

"Three Cups of Tea" author Greg Mortenson remains silent as his attorneys fight a $5 million class action lawsuit.

More trouble ? and scrutiny ? is brewing for ?Three Cups of Tea? author Greg Mortenson. Claims that Mr. Mortenson fabricated events in his bestselling book, first aired on a CBS ?60 Minutes? special in April are receiving renewed attention as the author?s attorneys fight a $5 million class action lawsuit against Mortenson.

Skip to next paragraph

The plaintiffs ? former teacher Deborah Netter of Illinois and Montana residents Michele Reinhart and Dan Donovan ? claim that Mortenson fooled 4 million people into buying his books by fabricating stories and portraying false events as true, in order to make Mortenson look like a hero and to raise money. The suit also questions whether Mortenson financially benefited from his charity and whether his charity built the number of schools it claimed.

The three plaintiffs are seeking to certify their class-action lawsuit and transfer all of the money from Mortenson?s book sales, estimated at more than $5 million, into a trust to be used for charity.

Mortenson?s attorneys, John Kauffman and Kevin Maclay, have asked a US district court judge in Missoula, Mont., to reject certifying the class action lawsuit.

Mortenson?s woes began earlier this year when a CBS report based on claims made by mountaineer and author Jon Krakauer suggested the ?Three Cups of Tea? author fabricated accounts in his beloved bestseller and that his charity, the Central Asia Institute, mishandled donations. The report claimed several passages from ?Three Cups of Tea,? including the opening anecdote, were false. It also revealed that Mr. Mortenson?s charity spends more for book promotion and publicity than it does actually building schools overseas.

Unusually Quiet New York Waits For Irene's Worst

NEW YORK (AP) -- The National Hurricane Center in Miami says that Irene has lost hurricane strength and made landfall on New York's Coney Island. The New York Times reports that the storm has been downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm.

Forecasters say Irene's winds have fallen to 65 mph.

They say Irene should move over New England by the afternoon. Officials also warn that isolated tornadoes are possible in the northeast throughout the morning.

(SCROLL DOWN FOR LIVE UPDATES)

As of Sunday morning Con Ed reported 60,000 were without power. (See map of power outages across the region here).

EARLIER: Rainfall overflowed sewers and seawater lapped at sidewalks at the edges of New York City from densely populated lower Manhattan to the far reaches of Queens as a weakening Irene made landfall over Coney Island early Sunday.

Ocean water streamed into the main streets of the Rockaways, a peninsula in Queens that Mayor Michael Bloomberg had ordered evacuated. In Brooklyn, Coney Island streets were also under water, and in Red Hook, also along the harbor, water was coming in about 100 yards.

In Manhattan, water from New York Harbor washed the edge the sidewalk at Battery Park along the tip of the island. About a foot of water lapped over the wall of the marina in front of the New York Mercantile Exchange in lower Manhattan. A low-lying section of the promenade hugging Battery Park was also submerged.

One of two tubes of the Holland Tunnel, one of the main conduits between the borough and New Jersey, was closed because of flooding, authorities said.

Irene weakened after landfall over the North Carolina coast Saturday, but it was still a massive storm with sustained winds of up to 65 mph as it approached the city. Coinciding with a tide that was higher than normal, water levels were expected to rise as much as 8 feet.

Power was already out for hundreds of thousands of customers around the city and on New York's Long Island.

A possible storm surge on the fringes of lower Manhattan could send seawater streaming into the maze of underground vaults that hold the city's cables and pipes, knocking out power to thousands and crippling the nation's financial capital, forecasters said. Officials' feared water lapping at Wall Street, ground zero and the luxury high-rise apartments of Battery Park City. A tornado warning was briefly issued for the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens early Sunday.


Battery Park City in lower Manhattan was virtually deserted as rain and gusty winds pummeled streets and whipped trees.

Resident Colin Mahoney was one of a handful of people in his building to defy the evacuation order and ride out the storm. "I'm from New England. We do storms there," Mahoney said as he walked along the Hudson River promenade in the pouring rain.

But, he added, "The mayor did the right thing. He had to."

Building supervisors who stayed behind were busy preparing for possible damage.

"We unplugged the drains and we fastened anything loose or removed it," said Malachy Darcy, the supervisors at 17 Battery Place, a 36-floor building facing the New York Harbor.

Darcy went to check the headwall across the street which would hold back any water surge, hoping it would hold back water.

In Times Square, shops boarded up windows and sandbags were stacked outside of stores. Construction at the World Trade Center site came to a standstill.

But taxi cabs were open for business as some residents donned rain gear and headed outside to check the weather or to head home after hotel shifts.

"I have to work. I would lose too much money," said cabbie Dwane Imame, who said he worked through the night. "There have been many people, I have been surprised. They are crazy to be out in this weather."

Bloomberg ordered more than 370,000 people out of low-lying areas, mostly in lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Only 9,600 people checked-in to shelters and an untold number defied the order.

"Oh, forget Bloomberg. We ain't going anywhere," 60-year-old Evelyn Burrus said at a large public housing complex in Brooklyn. "Go to some shelter with a bunch of strangers and bedbugs? No way."

Late Saturday, Bloomberg said it was no longer safe to be outside.

"The time for evacuation is over. Everyone should now go inside and stay inside," he said.

Many New Yorkers took the evacuation in stride. Some planned hurricane parties ? some streaked through Times Square.

"We already have the wine and beer, and now we're getting the vodka," said Martin Murphy, a video artist who was shopping at a liquor store near Central Park with his girlfriend.

"If it lasts, we have dozens of movies ready, and we'll play charades and we're going to make cards that say, `We survived Irene,'" he said.

The center of the storm was supposed to pass east of Manhattan about midmorning. The wind and rain wasn't to taper off until Sunday afternoon.

All subway, bus and commuter rail service was shuttered so officials could get equipment safely away from flooding, downed trees or other damage. It was the first time the nation's biggest transit system has shut down because of a natural disaster.

Boilers and elevators also were shut down in public housing in evacuation areas to encourage tenants to leave and to prevent people from getting stuck in elevators if the power went out.

Some hotels also shut off their elevators and air conditioners. Others had generators ready to go.

At a shelter in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn, public housing residents arrived with garbage bags filled with clothing; others pushed carts loaded with their belongings.

Tenants said management got them to leave by telling them the water and power would be shut off.

"For us, it's him," said Victor Valderrama, pointing to his 3-year-old son. "I didn't want to take a chance with my son."

Con Edison brought in hundreds of extra utility workers from around the country. While the foot of Manhattan is protected by a seawall and a network of pumps, Con Ed vice president John Mucci said the utility stood ready to turn off the power to about 17,000 people in the event of severe flooding.

Mucci said it could take up to three days to restore the power if the cables became drenched with saltwater, which can be particularly damaging.

The New York Stock Exchange has backup generators and can run on its own, a spokesman said.

Con Ed also shut down about 10 miles of steam pipes underneath the city to prevent explosions if they came in contact with cold water. The shutdown affected 50 commercial and residential customers around the city who use the pipes for heat, hot water and air conditioning.

It could take days for the power to be restored. The subway system, which carries 5 million passengers on an average weekend, wasn't expected to restart until Monday at the earliest.

As Irene passes by, tides are higher than usual. The phenomenon adds about a half a foot to high tides, said Stephen Gill, a scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The storm surge was likely to be as much as 4 to 8 feet.

More than 8.3 million people live in New York City, and nearly 29 million in the metropolitan area.

A hurricane warning was issued for the city for the first time since Gloria in September 1985. That storm blew ashore on Long Island with winds of 85 mph and caused millions of dollars in damage, along with one death in New York.

City police rescued two kayakers who capsized in the surf off Staten Island. They were found with their life jackets on, bobbing in the roiling water.

The area's three major airports ? LaGuardia, Kennedy and Newark Liberty ? were closed. With the subways closed, many were left to hail taxis. To encourage cab-sharing and speed the evacuation, passengers were charged not by the mile but by how many different fare "zones" their trip crossed.

Dozens of buses arrived at the Brooklyn Cyclones minor league ballpark in Coney Island to help residents get out. Nursing homes and hospitals were emptied.

Evacuees Spend Long Night In NJ Shelters

Point Pleasant Patch reports:

In the Jersey Shore, many were choosing the solidly standing, bricks-and-mortar schools over their own comfy beds. Staying at home, they said, provided little comfort.

Indeed, shelters at Toms River High School North and Intermediate North became full overnight. Toms River High School East became an accessible shelter; but If the 120 cots were to fill, evacuees would have to find room in classrooms.

Wall High School, meanwhile, was overflowing with early refugees from the hurricane. Late Saturday, Police Chief Robert Brice said the high school, one of three emergency shelters set up throughout the county, was already at capacity.

Boston Transit Suspended As Of 8 a.m.

The Associated Press reports:

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority says it stopped all subway, bus and commuter rail service as of 8 a.m. Sunday as Hurricane Irene twists toward Massachusetts.

Officials say suspending service will allow transit workers to make sure the system is operating for Monday morning's commute.

Customers Up And Down The East Coast Experiencing Power Losses

HuffPost's Tom Zeller reports:

Reports were mixed overnight on the number of customers experiencing power losses up and down the East Coast as Irene continued its lumbering march northward, but even a conservative tally of outages being reported by major utilities serving the Atlantic seaboard from North Carolina to New England easily puts the number well over 2 million.

The biggest hits so far remain in North Carolina and Virginia, where more than 1 million customers of Progress Energy and Dominion Power are greeting the day without power this morning.

Progress Energy said late last night that it was planning to set out across its service area in "helicopters, boats and all-terrain vehicles" to assess damage to its power infrastructure, including transmission lines and substations. Progress anticipated it would take "several days" to restore power and repair damage from the storm.

In a YouTube broadcast Saturday evening, Rodney Blevins, Dominion Energy's vice president for distribution operations said the company would be doing damage assessments of its own, and expected to begin working first to restore power to "critical facilities that are important to the community," including hospitals, pumping stations, and other infrastructure.

Further north in the Washington D.C. area, the local utility Pepco was reporting nearly 200,000 customers without power as of 7 a.m., while FirstEnergy and PSE&G, both serving parts of New Jersey, had a combined total of about half a million customers in the dark.

In a statement issued at 7:00 a.m. Sunday morning, officials at PSE&G said the majority of outages were attributable to falling trees and limbs. The company also said that customers can expect long waits before power is restored.

"The state?s largest electric and gas utility has extra personnel and supplies on hand to assure that storm-related emergencies are handled safely and promptly," the company said in an update posted to its Web site. "Even so, customers should be prepared for potentially lengthy outages. Crews will begin to restore service once the heavy winds subside and it is safe to work on overhead electric lines."

The company also said it was expecting gas outages to mount as flooding arising from heavy rains and storm surge overwhelms the utility's gas distribution system.

With the storm currently bearing down on its New York service area this morning, ConEdison said that about 72,000 customers were without power -- most due to high winds -- and that it expected the number of outages to grow. The utility also said that some 400 crews from across the United States -- including from as far off as Colorado and Texas -- were on-scene or en route to the area to help with recovery.

Irene Nearing NYC

The latest news from NOAA may come as no surprise:

...CENTER OF IRENE NEARING NEW YORK CITY...

The report also notes that while Irene is moving with a gradual increase in forward speed (25 mph) and is still a category one hurricane, it's forecast to weaken to a post-tropical cyclone by tonight or early Monday.

Irene Blamed For Fire Death In Connecticut

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Connecticut authorities say a person killed by a fire is apparently the state's first death related to Hurricane Irene.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says police believe the fire was caused by wires knocked down at a house in Prospect, southwest of Hartford.

Irene is knocking down utility lines and causing power outages across the shoreline. The storm center is forecast to make landfall in the Stamford area around 11 a.m. as a weak hurricane or a strong tropical storm. Malloy says 200,000 customers are already without power.

Malloy also closed the Merritt and Wilbur Cross parkways because they were already littered with debris. He also ordered a tractor trailer ban on all roads across the state.

Hurricane Irene Damage: South Takes Stock

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Hurricane Irene fell short of the doomsday predictions of record-breaking storm surges in North Carolina and Virginia. But a slow-crawling storm that spread out hundreds of miles was still hurling heavy rain and high winds at a wide swath of the East Coast a day after its first U.S. landfall, vexing official attempts to gauge the full damage toll on the region.

Irene's storm surge had triggered scattered flooding in coastal areas after coming ashore Saturday in North Carolina. It plunged at least 2.7 million residential and business power customers into darkness and roughed up one of the most densely populated areas of the country. Initial reports suggested light damages in many areas from Irene, a lower-strength hurricane when it struck the U.S.

But Irene inflicted scattered damage over such a broad area that the total damage ? and costs involved ? were not yet known. Authorities also said teams would be deploying later Sunday, particularly in more remote areas, to assess the extent and severity of those damages after Irene, which was blamed for eight deaths.

Guards Continue Watch Over Tomb Of The Unknowns At Arlington Cemetery

Photos surfaced on Facebook on Saturday showing a lone sentinel standing guard over Arlington Cemetery's Tomb of the Unknowns, undeterred by Hurricane Irene's approach.

ABC News reports:

The elite soldiers known as the Tomb Sentinels pride themselves on not letting bad weather interfere with their post. They stayed at their posts in 2003 during Hurricane Isabel, the last hurricane to come near Washington, and during blizzards in 2009-2010, which shut down the Washington, D.C. area for days.

Typically when it rains, Tomb Sentinels have the option of standing their watch under a green tent located to the side of the Tomb where they usually remain during wreath-laying ceremonies at the tomb.

Will Hurricane Irene Produce Record Rainfall?

The Wall Street Journal reports:

Weather forecasts are predicting epic rainfall along the Eastern Seaboard through Monday. But will the downpours rewrite the history books?

Maybe.

To do so, Hurricane Irene's actual rainfall must hit the top end of the precipitation forecast. In Atlantic City, N.J., the downpour must exceed it.

New Jersey: 166,000 PSE&G Customers Without Power

In New Jersey, around 166,000 PSE&G customers are without power at this time, the state's largest electric and gas utility company reports in a press release.

The number of outages continues to climb as Hurricane Irene moves north. The utility, which provides electric service to 2.2 million customers, is estimating that power restoration may take several days to a week.

Many of the outages are caused by falling trees and limbs, which bring down power lines. Downed wires should always be considered ?live.? STAY AWAY FROM ALL DOWNED LINES. Do not approach or drive over a downed line and do not touch anything that it might be in contact with. To report a downed wire and other visible equipment damage, call 1-800-436-PSEG and tell PSE&G the nearest cross street.

Advanced Polymerics Consider Your Flooring Issues | Home ...

August 29th, 2011 by Bob Snowzell

Thinking about floors isn?t something that people normally doing unless they?re in the middle of a renovation. When it comes to businesses and industries, however, this issue is literally the foundation that their entire operation rests upon. Not having suitable materials can create a whole host of issues that can cost money down the line, or create an unsafe situation for workers. In the airline industry, for instance, not having the right resistant flooring can make oil spills difficult to clean, or it can allow certain maintenance chemicals to actually eat through the floor. Knowing the right materials that can keep your business running at its peak proficiency is what advanced polymerics is all about.

They have made flooring, and the issues surrounding it, their life. Their inventory of resin covers and coatings has established them as the leading professionals in this field within the United Kingdom and beyond. They?re extremely knowledgeable and happy to talk with you about whatever products or services you may need.

This is because they have a number of resin coverings, as well as spray on coatings, and understand what that not having the right base can be more than a little issue. Safety standards are notoriously stringent in industry and this is for the benefit of both owners and workers alike. If you get a blemish on your safety record this can translate into a slight on your reputation.

Having these blemishes on your reputation can make potential customers less apt to take on your services in the future. What sets advanced polymerics apart from other similarly minded businesses is that they themselves are manufacturers. They don?t just hold on to an inventory, they continually engage in research that adds to the materials they offer.

The industries that they deal with are vast and cover almost all conceivable categories. It isn?t just about factories or industrial manufacturing, they also help with retail stores and leisure areas. There is no job that is more important than another and you?ll get the same level of professionalism and knowledge no matter your needs.

Dealing in the areas of aerospace, chemical processing, as well as petrochemical industries demands a product that lasts. What this product has to be able to withstand penetration of oil based solutions, as well as a number of chemicals. Depending on what you use specifically, these manufacturers will make sure that they will create the right material that can take the worst of your components.

Also, you may not need to completely replace whatever flooring you may already have, if you?ve just bought a space for your business. There are a number of spray on solutions that dry within minutes and they add a liquid proof reinforcement that will last your years. Not checking in with advanced polymerics can mean that you get convinced to completely redo your floors at an exorbitant cost.

There are a variety of spray on coatings that dry quickly and can seal off your floors from any spill issues. The demands of a business can be extremely unique, like those found in the research and pharmaceutical sectors. Not having the tools to fight bacterial corrosion does more than make a mess ? it can actually affect the results of experiments by introducing an unanticipated variable.

It doesn?t matter if you?re running a clothing shop, playground, or industrial manufacturing plant, the need for a good base is imperative to long term success. Take a moment to speak with these professionals and they?ll let you know exactly what you?ll need.

Sacramento Property Management ? Fab Articles

Property management companies serve in a number of capacities; all geared to help property owners manage and protect commercial and residential investment properties. The property manager is a professional liaison between the property owner and the tenant. This layer between the two typically makes for a better business relationship. The property management team, not by the property owner, resolves frustrating situations and disputed issues. A burst pipe, under certain situations, can feel personal to the renter, and a delayed improvement project can become exasperating to a landlord. With the assistance of a property management company, and its team of service professionals, things will run effortlessly and efficiently. As a property owner, you could manage the myriad of property-management tasks on your own, but why?

Invaluable to the both parties, owner and tenant, is that the property manager will handle maintenance problems that arise, usually at inconvenient times.

The Break-Up: What to do when you call off your wedding & How to ...

'Hills' starlet Kristin Cavallari and her fiance called it quits after being engaged for just a few months.

Breaking up is hard to do, but it becomes exponentially harder when it means calling off a wedding.

Broken engagements are a hot topic this summer as a rash of Hollywood celebrities including Hugh Hefner, Jesse James and Kristin Cavallari suddenly canceled their nuptials, leaving fans wondering what happened.

?The stress and pressure surrounding planning a wedding can be too much for a relationship,? says Darcy Miller, Editorial Director of Martha Stewart Weddings. ?It?s a big event with a lot of decisions to make, and if the relationship isn?t solid, these decisions can take a toll.?

Patti Stanger, star of Bravo?s ?Millionaire Matchmaker,? is all too familiar with what it means to end an engagement in the public eye. last year she called off her wedding to longtime love Andy Friedman after being together for seven years. ?it was horrible,? the reality TV love guru told the Daily News. ?I felt like a failure. I?m a cobbler without any shoes!?

Stanger is quick to offer her own insight into the summer?s A-list splits ? James is a ?disgusting Nazi sympathizer? whose relationship was ?a rebound to make himself look good,? Hefner?s relationship with Playmate Crystal Harris was ?a user situation,? and ?party girl? Cavallari wasn?t ready to give up her LA celebrity lifestyle for her fianc?, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler ? but says no matter the motivation, calling off a wedding is likely to save more heartbreak down the line.

Bravo's 'Millionaire Matchmaker' Patti Stanger has been through it before ? but still believes in love.

?Breaking an engagement is never easy but being in a bad relationship is worse,? Stanger says. ?If you know it?s wrong, get out.?

Ending an engagement isn?t just a celebrity phenomenon. One woman I spoke to (we'll call her Amy), was engaged almost ten years ago but the memory of calling off her wedding still brings tears to her eyes.?she had been prepared to to break up with her college boyfriend of nine years when he surprised her with a public proposal around the holidays one year. ?all of a sudden he was on one knee with this ring asking me to marry him,? she said. ?it was like a scene from a snow globe. how do you say no when people are staring at you and someone is on their knee in Central Park???Feeling paralyzed she accepted, though she knew she was developing feelings for someone else. ?Every time my mom would try to get me to plan something I would burst into tears,? she says. ?That should have been a sign. I was so stressed out by all the people involved who had some kind of stake in it that I didn?t feel I could make my own decision.?

Hugh Hefner's relationship with Crystal Harris was a 'user situation,' Stanger says.?after eight months of anxiety and depression, the problems were too big to ignore. ?one day my fianc? just looked at me and said, ?Why are we doing this? Why are we getting married?? and I said, ?I really don?t know.? That day was so hard. I gave my ring back, we hugged, and then I walked across town bawling my eyes out on the street.??her parents thought she just had a case of cold feet. ?my mom didn?t talk to me for three months,? Amy said. ?she told me later, ?I needed my time to grieve.???These days, Amy is thankful for what she went through. ?it really taught me how to be an active participant in my own life,? she says. having spent the last decade in a relationship with the love of her life, she?s finally ready to start thinking about marriage. ?it took me ten years, but I feel like it?s something I would want to do again.?

With so much emphasis on the wedding planning process, taking it apart can feel overwhelming. Etiquette experts recommend sticking to these steps to ease the pain:?First things first, ending an engagement must be done in person.? ?there are so many times I?ve heard of people breaking up with each other via text message,? says Anna Post of the Emily Post Institute. ?it just blows my mind that anyone would think that that?s appropriate and ok.??That?s not the only way technology can get you in trouble. ?it can get awkward for friends and families to watch the emotion of a moment play out on Twitter or Facebook,? Post says. ?be careful with how much of the breakup you make public business.??Jesse James' relationship with Kat Von D was just a 'rebound situation' to improve his image, Stanger says.

While you may not think you have anything in common with Hugh Hefner, brides can actually take a cue from Hollywood. ?there is no need to give extra details when telling invitees the wedding is cancelled, but your guests care about you and want to make sure you are okay,? Miller says. ?It?s a good idea to have a statement prepared as to why you are canceling ? similar to the way celebrities deal with the press.??Notifying your guests by phone is preferable, but email is also acceptable ? as long as you send individual messages. You?ll also need to return any gifts you?ve been sent and cancel any registries you?ve set up. ?this is why it?s a really good idea not to use your wedding gifts before you get married,? Post says.?Depending on how far in advance you cancel your engagement, you will have paid for a range of expenses, some of which you may be able to recover. Post recommends knowing ?what happens to your money if all doesn?t go as planned? before you sign contracts with your vendors, while Miller suggests buying wedding insurance ? which can even cover a change-of-heart. and while your bridal party will likely be sympathetic, Miller says ?etiquette dictates that you offer to pay them back? if they?ve already invested a lot of cash in the event (attire, airfare, hotel).?though this may seem obvious, brides must also return the ring ? even if they were cheated on. ?It?s not a consolation prize,? says Post. ?Why do you want a reminder of something that didn?t work out??

As for Stanger, she?s had a few short relationships since her break-up but is still on the hunt for the right guy. ?I?d love to get married,? she says,? revealing viewers will get a peek at her love life on the upcoming season of ?Matchmaker? which returns for its fifth season on Monday, August 15. ?As we say on Bravo, Watch what happens!?

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Physical Fitness Equipment in JapanThe 2009-2014 Outlook for Physical Fitness Equipment in JapanThis econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for physical fitness equipment across the prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it's prefecture and of Japan is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each prefecture and city, latent demand estimates are created for physical fitness equipment. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the cities in Japan). This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the P.I.E., for physical fitness equipment in Japan. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided and concentrated across the cities and regional markets of Japan. For each prefecture, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time. In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

Saving Difficult Relationships Through Communication | Mississippi ...

Admit it or not, relationships with others are important to us as human beings. Relationships with parents, siblings, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, professors, roommates, and classmates can bring joy and takes on added significance in our lives. We learn that it is often in or though intimate relationships that our romantic, companionship, and intimacy needs will be met. It is no wonder then, that we find ourselves preoccupied or consumed with pursuing, maintaining, ending, and recovering from the loss of such relationships. While each of these stages of relationships can be difficult and challenging, it is commonly when relationships end or ?don?t work out? that we struggle the most.

Whatever your age and experience, a relationship can bring you new and demanding challenges. Being able to handle conflict and deal with differences is important in maintaining healthy relationships. Everyone who is in a relationship or cares about their relationships may need assistance at some time to help them deal with problems or difficulties in a relationship, learn how to from or improve relationships, cope with a relationship that has broken down and help to change a relationship where there is violence and abuse.
All couples experience problems in one form or another ? it?s part of sharing your life with another human being. The difference between a healthy relationships that work, and those that don?t, is how well couples deal with the challenges and problems they face in their life together.

There are reliable tools that can be used to create a healthy relationship, many of which have not been taught in our culture. If you want to have a really healthy relationship, follow these simple guidelines.

? Do not expect anyone to be responsible for your happiness. Too often, relationships fail because someone is unhappy and blames their partner for making them feel that way. Make yourself happy first, and then share his or her happiness.

? Forgive one another. Forgiveness is a process of ending your anger or resentment towards another individual. It can have the power to transcend all offenses, great and small, and learning to forgive another takes patience, honesty, and respect. When sincerely given freely in a relationship, forgiveness may heal relationships that are suffering. Forgiveness is an act of humility, not one of haughty feelings.

? Do not do anything for your partner if it comes with an expectation of reciprocation. The things you do for your partner must always be done because you chose to do them and you wanted to do them. Do not hold your ?good deeds? over their head at a later time. Keeping score in a relationship will never work: a person is less likely to notice and value all the contributions of their partner as much as their own.

? Be Responsible. Responsible means that you have the ability to respond. It does not mean you are to blame. If you?ve been rude to your partner, own up to it, and get try to think of ways how you might do it differently and in a positive manner next time. If you are unhappy in your relationship, make an effort to learn how you might create a better relationship for yourself rather than try to change your partner.

? Approach your relationship as a learning experience. Each one has important information for you to learn. When a relationship is not working, there is usually a familiar way that we feel while in it. We are attracted to the partner with whom we can learn the most, and sometimes the lesson is to let go of a relationship that no longer serves us. A truly healthy relationship will consist of both partners who are interested in learning and expanding a relationship so that it continues to improve.

? Appreciate yourself and your partner. In the midst of an argument, it can be difficult to find something to appreciate. Start by generating appreciation in moments of non-stress, and that way when you need to be able to do it during a stressful conversation, it will be easier. One definition of appreciation is to be sensitively aware so you don?t have to be sugar-coating anything; so tell your beloved that you love him or her, and that you don?t want to argue but to talk and make it better.

Research have shown that people in supportive, loving relationships are more likely to feel healthier, happier, less stress and satisfied with their lives and less likely to have mental or physical health problems or to do things that are bad for their health. People in supportive, loving relationships help each other practically as well as emotionally. Supportive partners share the good times and help each other through the tough ones. Talking and listening are probably the most important skills in a relationship. There?ll always be tensions and disagreements, but if you can communicate well, you can overcome almost any problem.

Garage Doors - Home Improvement Tips

Choosing new or replacement garage doors is something that should be done carefully, as it can be a major household expense. Selecting a high quality door that will last for many years should be a priority, as well as ensuring its ease of use and compatibility with your home.

Garage doors are available in many different styles and colours to co-ordinate with your home, complementing existing features. Panel style doors are popular, suiting many types of house. Spend some time looking around the other homes in your area, noting the style and colour, to decide which garage doors best complement the type of houses in your area.

Deciding how the garage doors will open is another factor. If you choose garage doors that operate automatically, either with a remote control or a keypad that requires a PIN, you will expect to pay more for your garage doors but will find them much easier to operate.

Remote controlled garage doors give you the luxury of not getting out of the car on a cold, icy day. This option is also useful if you are not physically as strong as you would like, or perhaps age may become a factor in years to come. Having a tilt-up garage door will require extra space in your garage to allow for the door swinging out. If your garage space is already small, this may not be advisable.

Maintenance of the garage doors is something that should be considered carefully. Wood will require regular painting to stain and seal it, preventing the wood from rotting in bad weather. Here at Wickes we stock garage doors made from Glass Reinforced Polyester, which is strong and extremely durable. With this material you will only have to wipe your garage doors clean occasionally. The material doesn?t rust or split, reducing the requirement for painting and frequent replacement.

Some garage doors are available with windows in them. This looks attractive and may complement your home, but the security may be at risk as the windows enable prowlers to view the contents of your garage. This option also adds to the overall price.

The price of your garage doors is going to be a prime consideration, but this should be weighed up against the durability factor. Purchasing a garage door of a cost effective, higher quality material is possible if you use a reputable store. The cost of installation should be factored into the price, unless you are confident enough to install the door yourself. A simple up and over mechanism with a remote control is relatively simple, especially if you purchase from a reputable DIY store where you may find information to help you.

If you decide to sell your home, a door that requires regular maintenance as well as being a distinctive colour may put off buyers who are looking for a durable, simple to operate garage door. Most garage doors can be painted any colour you wish, but a simple white finish in high-gloss paint is effective, and will complement your home and surrounding houses.

How Venture Capital Is Different From Traditional Financing? | Ivy ...

Venture capital is a new form of financing that has come as a boon for young entrepreneurs and it plays a strategic role in financing small scale enterprises and high technology and risky ventures. In all the developed and developing nations it has made its mark by providing equity capital, so, they are more like equity partners rather than financiers and they are benefited through capital gains.

As young and growing businesses need capital at the right time, not only to float their company in the market, but also to survive in the long run. When financial institutions like banks and other private financial organizations hesitate to take the risk of early stage financing, since the credibility of the budding firm is not established, venture capital firms comes into the foray to fund the project in the form of equity which can be termed as ?high risk capital?.

Although there is a misconception that the interest of venture capital firms are mainly driven by cutting edge technology in the industry, it is not always the case with all venture capital firms. A venture capitalist associates high risk with huge profits. Of course after thoroughly analyzing the prospects and consequences and the viability of the project. The venture capitalist becomes a partner with the entrepreneur in his business. True venture capital financing need not confine itself to high end technology products, any risky idea with great potential can be financed and venture capital is an all powerful mechanism to promote and institutionalize entrepreneurship.

Mainly venture capital focuses on growth. A venture capitalist is very much interested to see a small business growing into a larger one. He assists in setting up the business, funding it and comes all along to seethe firm grow. If it is a potential equity participation, the venture capitalist can come out of the partnership once the company becomes profitable and take back his money by selling the shares or convertible securities. If the firm opts for a long term investment from the venture capital finance, the financier has to develop an investment attitude for a long term, say five or ten years to allow the company to make large profits.

Another form of financing is that the venture capitalist has his hands on management by which he becomes an active participant in the operations of the firm and his thinking is streamlined as to how to multiply and make quick money which is a win-win situation for both sides. Not only finance, the venture capitalist also contributes to marketing, technology upgradation and management skills to the benefit of the new firm.

The venture capitalist?s management approach is significantly different from that of a banker whose prime concern is collaterals and securities in the form of assets. He keeps his hands off the management and plays safe. The venture capitalist can also not behave like a stock market investor who invests money without having thorough knowledge about the company?s business and management. He combines the qualities of a banker, stock market investor and an entrepreneur in one.

Latest trend is that popular and giant software companies promote their content through the budding enterprises, by providing with the latest technology, training and expertise apart from finacing, which spreads the geographical area of operations of the parent company and also expand their territory to scale greater heights. Venture capital firms should focus on fostering growth and development of the enterprise and need not confine their interests only to finance technology, infrastructure, information technology services and the like. They need to diversify their investment in various sectors and even revival of sick units can be thought of as one of the options if there is potential in the business.

Depression and Motherhood | News Vision

Extensive research has been done on the subject of post-partum depression, which afflicts women for the first few months following the birth of a child, and actually has its onset during pregnancy. With greater awareness, doctors are more vigilant for maternal depression among their patients, and much progress has been made in this regard. There are many cases, though, where maternal depression can last well into a child?s youth, with victims not getting their symptoms properly diagnosed.Children At RiskMoms who are depressed are less likely to form a meaningful bond with their children through normal interactions such as talking with them, playing with them, or reading or singing to them. They may also be neglectful of essential tasks such as getting the kids to their doctor appointments or making sure they are properly dressed. They can be inconsistent in their approaches to discipline and affection, leaving the children confused and unable to anticipate their mother?s behavior.Help Is AvailableBreakthroughs in anti-depressant medications, however individual cases may vary, has led to increased success in treating depression in new moms, and truncating long-term mental illness as well. There are also a number of natural treatments that prove to be effective. Getting treatment for maternal depression is not only vital to the mom, it can be very beneficial to the children. Dealing with depression early and effectively can prevent problems associated with depression from being relayed to the next generation. It stands to reason that it takes a healthy, well-adjusted mother to raise healthy, well-adjusted children. If left unchecked, maternal depression has been known to take some horrific turns, as in the case of Andrea Yates (who drowned her five children in the bathtub of their family home in Texas). While a rarity, the case highlights the need to pay close heed to the issue of maternal depression.
