Whenever you have a technical question that needs answering, you want that answer as fast as possible, right? In the instantaneous world of the internet, patience has become a rare commodity, and the time you spend unable to send or receive email or waiting for your website to come back online can mean lost revenue. If you want to get a timely response from your support technician, there are things you can do as a customer to speed up the process:Define the problem as accurately as possibleThe more detail you can provide, the more quickly the technician can identify the source of the problem and correct it. Try to determine the following information if possible: What were you doing when the error occurred?What program were you operating that produced the error?Note the version of the program and the operating system that you are running on your computer.If there is a specific error message, what does it say? Be prepared to give this information to the technician by phone, email or fax.What are the steps you take to reproduce the error?What time did you first notice the error?Did the error occur only once, consistently over a period of time, or only when you do a certain thing?Can you reproduce the error on a separate computer?Know the priority status of your requestSupport technicians get many requests during the course of the day, often at the same time, with varying levels of urgency, and these requests take time to resolve. If a request cannot be

If you want to catch the really big trends there is a key tool for FOREX Trend following that you should use.If you use this tool then you will have a much better chance of catching and holding the really big trends that can yield the big profits of $10,000 or more.So here it is:It’s the weekly chart.Most traders simply use daily charts but if you are after the big trends the weekly chart is essential.Why?Quite simply, because it gives you the big picture of the prevailing long term trend.You can see the weekly charts on many free chart servicesKeep in mind that the long term currency trends last months or even years, as they reflect the underlying health of the economy.By looking at the weekly chart these trends are clear to see and you can then time your entry via the daily chart.The best set ups for trading are when support and resistance line up on BOTH charts.You know then that if they hold or if they are broken they are much more significant than simply points on the daily chart.So the way to catch the really big trends is to do the following:Look at the weekly chart for the long term trend, then time your entry on the daily chart by looking for important resistance or support.Once this is done you need to time your entry.Don’t simply trade on breaks or holding of support or resistance.CONFIRMATIONOnce you have lined up support and resistance on both the weekly and daily chart you need to watch price momentum.You want price momentum to either be with you on a break of support or resistance i.e. strong momentum or if you are looking
Nobody likes pain but its there for a purpose. I am a long time supporter of The Leprosy Mission and one of the things that I’ve discovered about leprosy is that its not normally the disease that results in a persons fingers or toes falling off, it’s the fact that the disease of leprosy stops a person being able to feel pain and so they will unconsciously burn themselves badly and not feel it. The nerve endings have been damaged and so they cannot feel pain at all and the results, more often than not, are the hideous deformities that we now associate with a leper. A leper would love to feel pain because they know that pain is given to us to warn our bodies that something is wrong that needs put right, if possible. Pain is not always a bad thing.
I run marathons. Do you think I feel pain when I run a marathon? You bet I do! A marathon is one of the supreme tests of endurance that average people can undertake. During the run your body uses up all its stores of carbohydrates and other necessary body fuels and then begins to feed off itself – it turns cannibal, if you like. This is painful. As well as that, it is not uncommon to pull a muscle, develop a blister, get a stitch, hurt your joints or any other number of painful ailments. Your body is telling you to stop, this is damaging to it! In this context, pain is your body’s natural way to tell you that you are overdoing it – and of course you are. However, all of us can ‘overdo it’ for a lot longer than we think is possible initially. We can learn to acknowledge the pain and, whilst taking steps to minimise it, we can still run on and on. Mind over matter if you like.
One of the great acts of heroism I ever witnessed was during an Olympic marathon when the Tanzanian representative fell during the race badly injuring himself. He got up and struggled on in obvious pain whilst all the other runners disappeared up the road in front of him. It was demoralising for him but he refused to give up. He struggled on and entered the stadium with only a few people still left in the stands to cheer him home. He finished the race with blood pouring from his leg wound just as they were taking down the finishing line and a television reporter asked why he hadn’t just given up after falling so badly. His response was brilliant. He replied, “My country did not send me here to start a race. They sent me to finish a race!” Too many of us start the race but are not so committed to finishing.
I am firmly convinced that if a couple acknowledge to each other that there will be times of pain then they will be better able to cope with it for a period when it happens. In the western world, we have been brought up with this strange belief that we should never suffer and so, when we inevitably do hit times of suffering, we have not prepared ourselves to handle it properly. I have a friend who lectures on philosophy in universities in many third world countries. He says that one question he is never asked in third world countries is, “Why does God allow suffering?” The reason for this is that suffering is just such a normal part of their lives that they cannot imagine that anyone doesn’t suffer. In fact it’s the suffering that makes them into the people they are. Can you accept that suffering makes you a better person?

Debt is a fact of life in America, making debt relief a national obsession. A search for “debt relief” on Google pulls up over 34 million pages; on Yahoo and MSN, the total is over 12 million pages.The average American household has $9,300 of credit card debt, but the share of income going to lower credit card debt has fallen to 0.3 percent.The increase in personal debt can’t all be blamed on overspending. After adjusting for inflation, wages have been flat for the past five years while the cost of essential goods and services like housing, food, medical care and transportation have risen over 11 percent according to the Federal Reserve Board's most recent Survey of Consumer Finances.Housing Debt Based on this study, the Washington Post recently reported that,"The debt of the typical American family earning about $45,000 a year rose 33.1 percent from 2001 to 2004, after adjusting for inflation … Housing debt has climbed notably because home prices have risen and people have borrowed against the equity in their homes. From 1989 to 2004, for example, the median mortgage debt more than doubled, from $46,900 to $96,000."This refinancing trend is one of the main strategies for debt relief. It takes several forms: first mortgage refinancing, second mortgages, debt consolidation loans and home equity lines of credit. These mortgages can be either fixed-interest or adjustable-interest loans.Many websites keep abreast of current interest rates and offer a free mortgage refinancing application that matches potential borrowers with the best loans based on factors like credit history, FICO score, type of mortgage and si

The Martin Luther King (MLK) holiday is coming up along with Black History Month. It is time for people to take a more critical look at the state of black leadership in this country.Let’s step back and imagine for five minutes that institutional racism is not the root cause of the problems faced by black Americans. After all, we do have a black upper class and a large black middle class in this country. Some people are getting ahead. So if it isn’t racism, then what is it? It is the black leadership. Or more precisely, the black liberal leadership.The Civil Rights era came and went, it was long overdue. Some black Americans took advantage of their new freedoms. They overcame. But many blacks have missed the opportunity of the Civil Rights movement. They never prepared for the day when whites would start treating them as equals. They are still singing about overcoming. And still some others, the liberal black leadership (with the help of white liberals), have kept those who are not enjoying the fruits of the American dream in a cycle of subordination.These liberals are the new landlords of the post bellum plantation. They profit off of a crop of anger and victimization. Each year they plant seeds of racism and misery in this country. They fertilize it with demagoguery, and reap money, status, and political power as poor, black sharecroppers gather the harvest. They are the self-proclaimed black leaders such as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan. They are the NAACP. They are elected leaders such as Charles Rangel, Cynthia McKinney and Sheila Jackson Lee. They are various celebrities and sports figures. Their le

If you are an entrepreneur with a small technology based company looking to take it to the next level, this article should be of particular interest to you. Your natural inclination may be to seek venture capital or private equity to fund your growth. According to Jim Casparie, founder and CEO of the Venture Alliance, the odds of getting Venture funding remain below 3%. Given those odds, the six to nine month process, the heavy, often punishing valuations, the expense of the process, this might not be the best path for you to take. We have created a hybrid M&A model designed to bring the appropriate capital resources to you entrepreneurs. It allows the entrepreneur to bring in smart money and to maintain control. We have taken the experiences of several technology entrepreneurs and combined that with our traditional investment banker Merger and Acquisition approach and crafted a model that both large industry players and the high tech business owners are embracing.Our experiences in the technology space led us to the conclusion that new product introductions were most efficiently and cost effectively the purview of the smaller, nimble, low overhead companies and not the technology giants. Most of the recent blockbuster products have been the result of an entrepreneurial effort from an early stage company bootstrapping its growth in a very cost conscious lean environment. The big companies, with all their seeming advantages experienced a high failure rate in new product introductions and the losses resulting from this art of capturing the next hot technology were substantial. Don't get us wrong. There were hundreds of failures from the start-ups as well.

The Chinese Government is rumored to distribute laptops to all its citizens in an attempt to nip over-population in the bud (or rather, seed). Ok, perhaps socialism hasn't come along this far, but recent studies do indicate that laptop use may hurt sperm production in young adult males permanently. What You Say? It's true, "teenage boys and young men may consider limiting their use of laptop computers on their laps," quipped Yefim Sheynkin, the lead researcher of an interesting (though somewhat sparse, yuk yuk) study on the effects laptops have on scrotal temperatures and sperm counts. When a laptop is balanced on one's knees, the user is forced to close their legs together, raising scrotal temperatures by an average of 2.1 degrees celsius (3.8 F). Internal laptop temperatures can soar to 70 degrees celsius (158 F). The result is higher scrotal temperatures in males by around 2.7 degrees celsius (4.86 F), according to Sheynkin's study on 29 brave male volunteers. Someone Set Up Us the Bomb Are you thinking what I'm thinking, that the US government (the same monster that somehow puts poisons in plane jetstreams to kill off the elderly) was behind the advent of the laptop computer in order to control population? If so, your medication might be just a placebo. Whatever the case, studies show that 1 degree celsius is the minimal difference for inhibited spermatogenisis (sperm production). Although damage is temporary in most cases, habitual and prolonged laptop use might cause permanent damage. Sheynkin said: "The body needs to maintain a proper testicular temperature for normal sperm production and

As we have said already in regard to the lepers, pain has a purpose. It tells us that something is not right. When we feel pain in our relationship we need to stop and analyse why we are feeling that particular pain. When I was an accountant and had a bit more money at my disposal, one of the things I would do when I felt some pain in my marriage was to throw a bit of money at it. We’d take a holiday, go for a nice meal, buy some new clothes, get our hair done up (well at least my wife would do this). Now, if you’ve got the resources, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with any of these things but we need to be aware that by distracting our minds for a little while from the cause of the pain it doesn’t make the pain go away long term. It only puts a plaster over a wound that needs treatment. However, all we were doing by throwing money at our problems was delaying the inevitable and sooner or later we would have a big argument.
It’s a bit like developing a toothache. Sure, you can dull the pain by putting some painkilling drug on your gum but if the cause of the pain is not dealt with, we know that it will flare up again, and next time even more painfully. Indeed if we kept on ignoring the pain then it might result in a tooth being removed. What started out as a simple toothache resulted in surgery. Not good.
In marriage there are a number of ways of figuring out what is causing the pain. Most of them common sense. You could try just talking to each other. Now there’s a novel suggestion! You could try doing the simple exercises in chapter 2 of this book and then discussing the results. You could talk to a professional counsellor who is trained to get to the bottom of painful issues. Whatever you decide to do it is crucial that you do something and do not ignore your pain. Once again the keyword is action.
2. The second thing we can try when pain rears its probing head is something that might seem very obvious but it is worth stating again just in case you miss it. Make sure that the pain you feel is associated with your marriage and not something else, like your job or even your children. So often we can be under pressure at our work and then come home and take it out on our partner. This is called displacing the pain. One of the things that I had to learn to do was to actually say to my wife, when I came home after a particularly hard day at work, that I was feeling stressed and tired. At first it felt like a confession of weakness and it wasn’t easy for me to admit that sometimes I wasn’t coping as well as I’d like to pretend. When I admitted as much to my wife, almost every time she was able to understand and take a bit more of the household pressure for a short time.
On other occasions the pressure was in the other direction and after a hard day of dealing with young children my wife would sometimes take out her frustrations on me. If I failed to recognise that this was happening the result could easily be a full-blo
