Crude oil prices are soaring and this causes company budgets are pressed short harder than ever before. With an economy lumbers along slowly and new cash remains hard to come by, intelligent executives acknowledge redundant expenses have to be cut. Company directors across the country need to make some weighty priority judgments to lower expenses. But theyll find that the best way to slash business expenses is to cut down on unnecessary travel budgets, and the solution is online conferencing calls.

By going to web video conferencing, is it possible to have a far off meeting from literally any place with an Internet connection. Not only is it easy as a computer and an Internet connection, it can save travel costs more than five digits.

Leaps in telecommunications technology make online conferencing possible for businesses to share information and presentations at the same time. Web conference attendees can hear and see others as though they were in the same room, even if theyre really halfway around the world.

Here is a thirteen-step business development plan for IT professionals and consultants. It will help you become the expert in your field and attract all the clients you need:

1. Identify your niche. Without a niche, it is impossible to aim your business development efforts effectively. You waste time and money chasing too many prospects. On the other hand, by choosing a niche, you can reach your prospects more efficiently, develop more complete solutions, and ultimately become an established expert much more easily.

It may seem counterintuitive, but choosing a niche INCREASES the number of clients you attract, while REDUCING the number of prospects that you try to reach. There are two parts to a niche. First, identify the services you want to offer. Second, identify the clients you want to hire you. You can identify clients by their industry (e.g. banking), demography (e.g. executives, home computer users), geography (e.g. San Diego), or interests (e.g. travel).

2. Identify the compelling problem you solve. Prospects need a reason to call an IT professional to help them. No problem, no business. Develop a solid understanding of the problems your target market faces, what these problems cost, and your solution.

3. Identify your edge compared to the competition. In most cases, it is nearly impossible for prospects to tell one IT professionals from another. Find a way to differentiate your services by adding more value, being more efficient, offering more complete solutions, being consistent, taking risk away from the client or by providing additional support or guarantees.

4. Compile a mailing list that allows you to stay in touch and follow up. The list should include past clients, current clients, prospects, referral sources, and influential people that can get your name out there (e.g. editors). This database is the most valuable tool in your business development tool kit.

5. Develop a series of informational messages that you can offer to prospects and clients. A web developer might offer a report entitled, “Seven secrets to designing a web site that will triple your revenue.” A systems integrator might develop an audio CD called, “The ten dirty secrets in the integration business that other firms don’t want you to know.” A networking pro might offer a piece entitled, “Nine ways to prevent a system failure that dooms your business.” Make sure that these pieces identify a compelling problem, offer a solution that works, and gives examples of how you have helped in these situations so that the prospect associates you with the solution. Longer pieces, filled with facts, are better.

6. Educate your audience with these informational messages, in any or all of the following ways:

- Articles

- Interviews

- Written guides, papers, and manuals

- E-mail newsletters

- Your web site

- Seminars

- Speaking

- CD audios

7. Continue to follow up with prospects by offering more education and information. Each time you do, you build more trust and credibility. Soon your marketplace will trust and know you well enough to consider you the expert in the field.

8. Be responsive when prospects and clients call. Make it hassle free for clients and prospects to reach you, and get right back to them.

9. When prospects meet with you live to get your advice, don’t sell. Instead, ask about their situation, problems, goals, and what they want to achieve by meeting with you. Listen carefully, and check with the prospect to confirm that you understand their priorities. Offer your experience about the prospect’s problems and, after you are sure you understand the prospect’s situation clearly, suggest potential solutions. At this point, assuming the prospect is intrigued, you can talk about your background and how you have helped others with similar problems. Finally, let the prospect choose what they want to do next, without any pressure.

10. Deliver outstanding results when you are hired.

11. Get testimonials that you can include with your marketing materials from clients, influential people, and colleagues attesting to your expertise and capabilities.

12. Ask for referrals.

13. Keep in touch with clients so that they call you FIRST when they need help. Do this not by selling but by offering valuable support, information, and follow up.

This simple plan will attract loyal clients to you, generate referrals, and establish your reputation as the expert in your niche.

Ever wonder what someones handwriting or signature might reveal about them? Just like a scale reports weight, a persons handwriting tells a story about the health and traits of the writer. You’ve probably seen handwriting that is full of loops and circles and thought it seems soft and maybe feminine. And you’ve seen knotted sharp handwriting that is not only hard to read but it looks like an angry statement.

Over the years the analysis of handwriting has advanced. There’s much that can be learned from the slant, the style and the pressure of the written note or the signature on the page. You probably can tell when someone seems happy, or upset or getting angry. Those same expressions of emotion and character are revealed by handwriting. Wouldn’t it be fun to know what handwriting tells us? Some people do, and they use that information to make better decisions about people and actions.

RESOURCE GUIDE: http://meaning-of-handwriting.5×1.net

Your handwriting tells people about you. And it tells much more about you than merely the words you have written might convey. I was always curious about this myself but never found anything that could help me learn and better understand what a persons signature or handwriting was really telling me. It’s a bit like not being able to understand the full message. With a little time and fun, I’ve found that understanding handwriting is a bit like having x-ray vision. You get to see into other people more fully. Sometimes that’s good news and other times it gives pause. Words alone don’t tell the whole story. Understanding the message of the handwriting adds another level of meaning. Is it worth it? If you like to know the truth, if you like to understand who you’re dealing with, it sure is.

We often call Climate Change “Global Warming”, yet although the overall trend in global temperatures is upward, the scientific community has been telling us from the start that there will also be greater extremes in climate, and these variations will be experienced both upward in some areas, and downward in other parts of the world.

Climate change prediction is still far from an exact science and substantial uncertainties exist when trying to predict how large areas will react to changing climatic conditions. However, we do know already that when it comes to global climate the warm temperatures currently experienced in the UK are already an anomaly.

The UK climate is noticeably warmer than other countries located at the same latitude such as Newfoundland to the west, and also its Balkan neighbours in Europe, to the east. It is easy to forget that Glasgow and Edinburgh are situated at latitudes similar to the much colder city of Moscow, and surrounding regions.

The Scottish lowlands have in the past 10 years, seldom witnessed anything more than a covering of snow for periods numbering no more than a few days each winter. This is in comparison with the continued prolonged snow covered winters of Moscow, and the hard frozen countryside of the eastern European states, at similar latitudes.

The reason for this warmth is the Gulf Stream, a sea current which draws heat from the topics and releases the warmth in the north-east Atlantic. However, if global warming causes the acceleration of the hydrological cycle and melting of ice, surface water salinity will be diluted and water currents will slow. This is not just a general theory either, as climate change models do also show a net effect of slowed down warming in the north Atlantic because of this effect (Grub, 2004).
Most of us in the UK have been resolutely assuming, as a result, that although many other currently cold climates will at least become more temperate, and some may even become new summer tourist resorts of the future, the UK will miss out!
However, work by the scientist Seager et al (2002) disputes that climate change will have a cooling effect on the UK climate. This is surprising and such ideas go against the established scientific view which has been held for very many years.

Using weather data from the past 50 years, their research shows that as little as 10% of the UK’s warmth comes from the Gulf Stream. Instead, the paper claims that the majority of the UK’s climate arrives in the form of warm winds from continental North America, and that this combined with the ocean’s ability to hold heat for longer than the land, is the key to the mild climate.

Therefore, dilution of the Gulf Stream by ice melt water, could have a less disastrous effect on the UK’s climate than was first thought, and climate change may cause the UK to warm instead of cool.

While there is uncertainty regarding how climate change will affect areas locally, changes already experienced in the global climate and as shown to be occurring by UKCIP (2002) include:-

- Increased night-time temperatures, occurring at twice the rate of warming of daytime temperatures;

- Higher rainfall over many Northern Hemisphere mid-to-high latitude areas of land;

- The Northern Hemisphere is also experiencing an extension in the length of the freeze-free season.

These combined with a practically globe-wide reduction in ice mass, accompanied by substantial Arctic sea ice thinning which is most pronounced in late summer, all point to significant changes. So we will probably not have to wait very long before we will know whether, “Global Warming” in the United Kingdom might result in a colder climate, or indeed just the opposite.

The Hubble Space Telescope has allowed scientists and the rest of the world a look into outer space that was not even imagined one hundred years ago. In fact, it is only in the last one hundred years that it was discovered that there are millions of galaxies beyond ours and that the universe is constantly expanding. Since its launch in 1990 this telescope has been an invaluable source of information to astronomers and scientists throughout the world. As the Hubble Space Telescope orbits its way around the earth once every 95 minutes, it continues to gather more knowledge about not only our galaxy but the ones beyond as well.

A timeline of Hubble Space Telescope History:

1924–Edwin Hubble looked up into the night sky to disprove the theory of a single galaxy. He proved that rather than just gasses and dust, the universe was filled with other galaxies. He was the first to prove that our universe was continuing to grow and expand. However, he did not have the benefit of the tools we have available today, so his knowledge was still somewhat limited although his vision was far-reaching.

1924-1983–the concept of a Large Space Telescope (LST) was conceived, designed, revised and developed and implemented. In 1985, the LST was renamed the Hubble Space Telescope, to honor the man who started it all.

1990–After delays with its launch due to conflicts with the launch of the space shuttle, the Hubble Space Telescope was sent into orbit.

1994–the telescope took pictures of a comet collision, and detailed photos of Pluto, as well as giving us a greater knowledge of Neptune and Uranus.

1995–the Hubble took pictures of the “birth” of a star as it developed from interstellar clouds.

1996–Photos from the Hubble Space Telescope show that quasars are actually nuclei which illuminate when a black hole uses energies from surrounding gases and stars.

1997–The Hubble takes pictures which prove that black holes are bigger than the sun.

1998–The most detailed pictures of the planets in our solar system are taken.

2004–The Hubble Space Telescope was able to document in pictures how, when, and why stars die and using the Hubble Ultra Deep Field technology, to take pictures of the expanding universe unlike any that had previously been taken. It also took pictures of Mars when it was closer to Earth than it had been in 60,000 years.

2005Took pictures of a comet with a projected piece of equipment from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Future DevelopmentsThe Hubble Space Telescope’s mission is scheduled to end with this decade. Astronauts will go up, make repairs and assess the future usefulness of this tool in deep space discovery and a decision will be made about whether it should be discontinued or remain in service. But, no matter what decision is made, this telescope has been an amazing resource for a broader understanding of space and its limitless possibilities. Thank you, Mr. Hubble.

‘Kenyanthropus platyops’: - Perhaps the 6,000,000 year old men found by a maverick who went behind the authorities back at the Olduvai Gorge will be proven to actually not be outside the australopithecine lineage. But the Leakey family has found a 3.5 million year old human that definitely is, and it was announced after I had written the things related hereto earlier in this effort. I love how these synchronicities occur and how much there is for us to know about ourselves.

“The ‘Gang’ Hits Again

Those famed Leakey fossil hunters add a new limb to our family tree - by Simon Robinson, Nairobi.

Like other members of the famous ‘hominid gang’, the sharp-eyed fossil hunters employed by paleontology’s Leakey family, Justus Erus spends three months a year scouring the dry, bone-rich riverbeds around Lake Turkana, in northern Kenya. It is a scrubby, desolate landscape, where the people are desparately poor and gun-toting young men are a menacing presence. But it is hallowed ground to scientists because of the clues it offers to early human history. Still, even after five years, Erus, a 30-year-old Turkana tribesman, had scored nary a hit-just bits of animal bones and teeth.

Then one scorching morning during the final week of the gang’s explorations in August 1999, at a site called Lomekwi, Erus noticed a white object, just a cm or two across, sticking out of a patch of brown mudstone. ‘I thought maybe it was (the bones of) a monkey,’ he says. Beckoning the expedition’s co-leader, Meave Leakey, wife and daughter-in-law, respectively, of Richard and Louis Leakey and renowned in her own right, he asked her opinion. By nightfall they realized that they had uncovered the partial remains of a humanlike skull.

The fossil turned out to be a totally new prehuman species and last week reignited one of paleontology’s greatest debates: Did we evolve in direct steps from a common apelike ancestor between 6 million and 4 million years ago? Or did the human family tree sprout branches, some of which petered out? {No integration of Mungo Man, the 6,000,000 year old find, the Black Skull or many other possibilities!}

In the past 20 years the Leakeys and others have dug up overwhelming evidence showing that between 2.5 million and 1 million years ago, the then lush woodlands and savannas of eastern Africa-where our family tree first took root-were the habitat of rival species, most of which were evolutionary dead ends. But what about before that? Paleontologists have generally agreed that there was just one hominid line, beginning with a small, upright-walking species known as ‘Australopithecus afarensis’, most famously represented by ‘Lucy’., a remarkably complete (about 40%) skeleton found in Ethiopia in 1974.

Now {Ha!} that view is being challenged. The new skull, described by Leakey and six colleagues, including her and Richard’s daughter Louise, 29, in ‘Nature’ last week, pushes the presence of co-existing species back another million years, to between 3.5 million and 3.2 million years ago. That’s right in Lucy’s time. Yet it is so different from Lucy that they assign their fossil, which they call ‘Kenyanthropus platyops’, or ‘flat- faced man of Kenya’, to a new genus, or grouping of species. ‘This means we will have to rethink the early past of hominid evolution,’ says Meave Leakey, head of paleontology at the National Museum of Kenya. {Who didn’t want the Dalhousie professor digging up the 6,000,000 year old bones on the Yale site, that he says aren’t australopithecine, to upstage them.} ‘It’s clear the picture isn’t as simple as we thought.’ Even Lucy’s discoverer Donald Johanson, director of the Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University, concurs. ‘This is a reminder that there are probably a lot more species out there,’ he says.

K. ‘platyops’ not only had a much flatter face than Lucy, she also had smaller teeth. From the teeth, the scientists conclude that it probably ate fruits, berries and small insects while A. ‘afarensis’ consumed tougher vegetation like roots and grasses. {The skull appears to have teeth as we do. This description of things bears little fruit of the nature of our ancestors or how they felt, thought and developed the things that really count. It would fit very nicely with the ‘cave man’ fiction and our ‘gradually evolved’ species though. Thus you can rest secure in the knowledge that YOU and especially the European (you) are the highest form of life ever found on the face of this planet.} ‘They were unlikely to compete,’ says team member Fred Spoor of University College London. ‘Two species don’t usually occupy the same ecological niche.’

Old flat-face could displace A. ‘afarensis’ as a direct link in the human lineage. Or it may be a part of a branch leading to ‘Homo rudolfensis’, a species with a strikingly similar face that lived in East Africa between 2.4 and 1.8 million years ago. ‘You find something beautiful and new, but the conclusion is you actually know less,’ says Spoor. ‘But we are getting there.’ - with reporting by Andrea Dorfman/New York.” (1)

When all things are considered they are being disingenuous. Spoor or the others do know that the afarensis lineage is not related to us. As to the existence of super robustus australopithecines in the time, they don’t mention that because the probability of ‘occupying the same ecological niche’ increases the likelihood that humans and hominids banded together and formed protection groups against these larger foe with ability like their own. That is a possibility I think leads to social and cultural development that would push the meaningful aspects of human life back a great deal further. The spiritual and communicational possibilities of commerce and ritual as well as dance and herbalism, expand as people form larger units. It is likely that sexual relations between different hominids occurred and made mutational potentials to generate genetic streams of over a hundred different types in Africa. To focus on Africa forgets Siberia (Diring entry) and Mungo Man. It loses sight of Gondwana where the genetic material that became all these hominids formed before the split to South America, Australia etc. This leads to many different places on earth developing hominids. Yes, there is much to learn; but if we don’t consider all the facts we will keep our heads in a very dark place that doctors might have to use surgical tools like obsidian (as fine as any today) to remove. They have recently found an ape which the researchers think is a cross between a gorilla and a chimpanzee. It is still living in some numbers and I look forward to geneticists telling us what cannot be done while their colleagues say otherwise - some more. And those geneticists did so after I wrote much of this book. They found up to 1.8 million years ago that pubic lice which are only on humans diverged in North America.

Secret Tips For Negotiating Your Credit Card Debt

A lot of people think that it is hard to lower their credit card debt because they are worried that the credit card company doesn’t care about them. In actuality the credit card companies would like to help you and work out some kind of payment plan that works for you. They would rather have you pay a small amount of money instead of none at all. While negotiating your credit card debt there are a lot of strategies that you need to remember. These tips and strategies could benefit you greatly in the process.

When negotiating with your credit card company, it is important that you are genuine about your debt circumstance. Credit card companies can be very forgiving when a individual has real hardships in their lives. Some credit card companies are now offering a type of insurance that allows you to cease payments if going through a personal crisis.

The next thing that you need to remember when attempting to negotiate your credit card debt is to make certain that you are addressing with a person that will actually be able to service you. Many of the low level employees at the credit card company may be instructed that they are not allowed to make those kinds of decisions for the customer and may try to dissuade you from following the subject further by saying that there is nothing that they can do for you. Be persistent until you do find someone in the company that may be able to assist you and go to the local branch of the company, if you are able, to talk to somebody about your situation face to face.

Always remember to be polite and respectful when speaking to your credit card company about negotiating your debt. It may be hard at times, but getting angry at them will only make matters worse. Being respectful to those attempting to aid you is very essential for seeing any results. Remember, you want these people to help bring down your debt, not make things worse for you.

May you daily increase in wisdom, love, gratitude, reverence, healing, peace, joy, happiness, laughter and prosperity. If no one else seems to want these things for you, I do. Please accept them with an open mind and heart. All of your pain has a single source. That source is ignorance, or not knowing. If you knew, deep in your heart, as well as in your head, the great secret that few people ever know; you would never again feel the pain you have been feeling.

The secret is two fold. Who you are and why you are. You can hardly know who you think you are a creation of others, fastened upon you since birth. All your life, others have defined you by their words and actions. They have convinced you that you are somebody very different than who you are. You have every right to be confused. You sense you are someone else but you can’t find that person or see her or him clearly. You can solve this problem.

The tools you need to find yourself are mocked by those who also believe they are someone they are not. This riddle is passed from one generation to another through all history. Here is your key: Obtain your astrological natal chart from an astrologer. You will have to supply the astrologer with your date, time and place of birth. Ask someone who should know, or seek out hospital records. If you cannot find your time or place of birth, a fair natal or birth chart can still be constructed.

Next, seek out a numerologist or get a book or two on the subject. When you have examined your personal astrology and numerology, you will see the truth of my words. You will find the person you suspected was you, your strengths and weaknesses. You might also discover many reasons why you have been mistaken for somebody else. You will no longer feel like a lost soul.

You will also begin to see that all things in life are cyclical. That is, no situation remains indefinitely and change is the way of all life. You will see that certain experiences will repeat throughout your lifetime. As you change the way you see them, the effects will be very different and much less painful. You will see how patience is always rewarded and forcing is always punished. You will see new options for your life. You may be inspired to use these tools to better know people close to you, instead of defining them through your pain. This is your opportunity to be free of the pain that has denied you so much happiness. You can handle this. You will be lightening an unbearable load until there is no longer any load at all. It is a rapid process, quite the opposite of accumulating pain.

Now that you know who you are, you are ready to learn why you are. This is detective work. You have clues to follow up. You have experience. You have had moments of utter joy. What were the things that created this joy? Perhaps you cannot recall any joyful thing in your life. Look for the moments of relative happiness. What was the cause of it? Astrology and numerology will provide more clues, explaining what kind of things suit you and what kind of activities are likely to provide you with satisfaction.

You may think you came into this world with nothing. Others may have told you so. You did not come with nothing. You came with gifts to give or share with the rest of us, as we have gifts to share with you, if you would only look for and accept them. The joy you have been missing is the giving, receiving and sharing of these gifts. All givers are unique and one of a kind. Their gifts are likewise unique.

No two people receive gifts the same way either. To test this, give the exact same gift to a dozen different people and carefully observe its effect on them. This is the universal purpose for every person who ever lived. Giving and receiving. To only give or to only receive is to rob ourselves and others of joy and happiness. Who can receive when no one gives? Who can give when no one accepts?

Years of accumulated pain become an addiction. Pain we never wanted in the first place becomes an old friend. When things go well for us, we miss this old friend. We feel uncomfortable that something is missing. We can no longer respond to pleasure or enjoy it. We don’t quite understand that we are doing this by free choice. We focus on external influence and deny ourselves the very freedom of choice.

We fail to meet the expectations of others and don’t know what we should expect of ourselves, simply because we don’t know who or why we are. When we do know these things, the expectations of others lose all importance and we become very reasonable about what we expect of ourselves. All the pressure is then removed. With the pressure off, we see everything more clearly, as though a mental, emotional and spiritual fog has lifted from our lives.

Lift your eyes to heaven and give thanks for the pain you have known. This will be the standard against which to measure your pleasure, joy and happiness, once you have found who and why you are.

Some religions deny reincarnation. Some support it. No matter what we personally believe, the wisest assumption is that reincarnation is the case. That you can earn a better or worse life in this one. Numerology will tell you about the lesson you are now here to learn. If you short circuit this learning process, you will be forced to repeat it as you might a grade in school. When you take matters into your own hands in the hope of escaping your pain, instead of learning from it, your circumstances in the next life may be far worse than this one, with twice the pain and twice the struggle. Who would want that?

We are made to think that the beliefs of others belong to us. We defend these beliefs as though they were our very own and hard won. In most cases they were planted in our subconscious by mere suggestion, as a hypnotist might do. Accept them or reject them. It is foolish to fight for or against them. We struggle when we need to simply relax.

We can believe whatever we choose, no matter what others say, which is often NOT what they really believe. Because we can choose whatever we want to believe, we can believe things that cause us pain. We can just as easily believe things that give us pleasure. The natural person seeks pleasure. The confused person chooses pain. If we can only care enough about the world around us and how we fit, we can end all confusion and totally transform a life that only seems to have so little value. Think of yourself as the caterpillar who cannot know a great transformation is in the works.

A small book that can be read in a few hours, teaches anyone how to tap into and direct the power that transforms caterpillars into butterflies, at will. It is titled the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. It was written by Deepak Chopra. Once you have learned who and why you are, this book will show you how to be and do what you choose and what you must. It will show you how to find true happiness. The world would be a far better place if everyone read this book in school. The more we read it and follow its advice, the more peace and happiness we find within us. Drop me a line when you emerge from your cocoon.
