The Video Poker Oasis

Well as always mankind has not necessarily been such a good steward of the planet. Only this time he has taken it a bit too far. We are polluting space with junk, small bits and pieces of man-made debris orbiting the planet at extremely high rates of speed. It is a danger to space flight and the new space tourism industry.

We must therefore consider building magnetic space debris and robotic junk collection craft to pick it up and properly dispose of it. Makes sense to use magnets to collect the space junk and debris. We should use that force when possible and so directional magnetism devices and also magnetized components of the Robotic Space Vacuum are desired. In low earth orbit that junk which is not needed could be collected in a separate canister like system and shot towards earth later to burn up in the atmosphere. But not all space junk is created equally and some is not magnetically charged.

The good junk we should recycle. The good debris, which we are referring too could be used for another source later? It could be sent to the ISS via the canister with a special rocket booster on it for safe and accurate arrival and could be captured via the Space Arm at the ISS or it could be shot to the moon later. Although that may take a lot of energy, reducing the value in ROI [return on investment] of what was collected. As what is collected will be a whole lot of worthless crap, and some very valuable stuff too, made of expensive and exotic metals.

If it was deemed profitable to collect and therefore worthy of a larger, expensive canister with booster rockets then you could shoot it to the moon. Have an explosive charge to stop rapid approach speeds and then deploy air-bags just before it hit. Now you have a canister full of assorted space junk on the moon. Environmentalists and Space Lawyers are going to want to kill me for that.

I recently purchased a helpful book written by a successful businessman regarding his experiences with home based business opportunities. I was amazed to learn that some of the most successful business opportunities, in his opinion, were free. Yes, the free home based business opportunity that has the potential for great success does exist, you just have to find it. One of the best ones out there is wealth creation on line which gives you a simple three step plan to success. With a computer, on line access, a cell phone and your own burning desire, you can create the wealth you wish for and greatly deserve.

There are many types of home based business opportunities out there for people interested in working from home. There is the free home based business opportunity, the home based business opportunity that you have to pay for, the home based business opportunity that will not work no matter what and the home based business opportunity that will work with some time and effort. Most of us would be interested in a free business opportunity that will work with some time and effort. Just remember, you don’t get something for nothing. Also, most of the time, what you put into something is indicative of what you will get out of it.

Here is the easy way to learn about Communication skills without going through a 300+ pages book which, one can forget about before he finishes it

Always start with an Intention:

Anything we start, including communication skills, usually has reason and a starting point. While we become conscious about this fact for the obvious things like brushing our teeth to avoid tooth decay, we forget to give the same importance to our communication. We start talking, go through all the niceties and then some how stumble upon the reason for conversation or make it up by that time.

The problem with this approach is that the message looses its power. If you keep doing this often, you loose the power to bring it to work when needed. As a soldier polishes and keeps his guns fit even during peacetime, we have to keep our arsenal of communication skills handy to use, when required.

Develop flexibility in language and in approach:

Most people will think being flexible means using all the words in the Dictionary. Having a good vocabulary does not mean that people have to run for a dictionary every time you speak. Instead, a good vocabulary means that you have created enough choices and variety in your language to suit the listening or reading requirements of many people.

Flexibility is also needed in your approach to communication. Developing more than one approach is really good. If your style of approaching women is the Nice Guy, try the cocky and funny approach. See how that works. One more area that we can change and notice the results very quickly is by modulating our voice. Here is quick exercise to learn how to modulate your voice. Practice speaking a Para in a British accent. Do your best to be British. If you find it hard watch BBC and imitate them. Next, try sounding American and then French or Chinese (speaking in English).

Once you have done at least 4 accents, switch between them as often as possible, in practice. After you do this for a while, notice how you naturally are modulating your voice and how you find it easy to choose from different tones and tonality. More about this, on my website.

One Caution: Please do not measure any new skill by the initial response you get because, all new skills need to be naturalized before it becomes effective. (http://www.communication-skills-4confidence.com/effective-communication-skill.html)

As you develop flexibility, you will find yourself more comfortable to live with and then others will also find you comfortable to be with.

Forget techniques and learn the principles:

A lot of managers are fond of using something called a Sandwich technique. It is situation where you slip in a negative comment or feedback layered in between two positive comments. It is a good technique no doubt. But if you repeat it to the same old staff for 2 years, it means you are not capable of innovating. People get conditioned to any one particular behavior over time and so the technique looses its impact.

We all have a favorite way of reacting to situations. We gather these techniques by experience and by learning from others. What we eventually forget is that they are just techniques, and are replaceable. Something like software programs which almost always gets replaced by a better version. But since it works so well to us, we get possessive about it and find our selves bound by it. It becomes difficult to break that mould. A person in a mould is like a frog in the well. He has limited reach and limited awareness.

Using techniques is like giving a fish to the hungry man while understanding the principles is like teaching him fishing. So, instead of getting all cluttered up with techniques understand the principles driving them. You will find many on my website. (See http://www.communication-skills-4confidence.com/good-communication-skills.html)

So to be the survivor of the fittest in the field of communication skills, always start with an intention in your mind. Once you master this, your level of influence will increase rapidly. Take away your focus on techniques and learn the principles. This way you tap the source of power itself rather than a branch. The last and most importantly, develop flexibility in your language and approach. It will maximize your capacity to reach your audience and thus your power.

There is a vital distinction between victimhood as a particular situation and Victimhood as a way of being and self-identity. It is the latter that we now have the capacity to change, thanks to The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic).

Since the beginning of time, the default orientation of humanity has been that of the Victim. Living in an often hostile and dangerous world, we human beings have honed the fight, flight, or freeze reaction to our life experience. While surviving is an accomplishment that deserves to be honored, most of humanity lives at a level of material wealth where survival is no longer a question. However, surviving is not thriving ─ spiritually, mentally or emotionally. And surviving is not creating. There must be a better way – and now there is!

Transactional Analysis pioneer and psychiatrist Stephen Karpman, MD, has observed that most human dynamics involve three roles – that of Victim; Persecutor (or Perpetrator); and Rescuer – which result in what he described as the “Drama Triangle.”

The Victim, which is the central figure in the drama, sees life as happening to them and believes they are powerless in the face of the onslaught of the problems they encounter. In order to be a Victim, however, one must have a Persecutor. The Persecutor is very often a person, but it can also be a condition (maybe an illness) or a circumstance (for instance, a hurricane). When a Victim encounters a Persecutor, they then look around for a Rescuer, to save them or, at least, to alleviate their suffering. Here, again, the Rescuer may be a person, but it can also be various forms of escapism and/or addiction such as gambling, alcohol, video games, even television.

There is a subtle and powerful seduction in being a powerless Victim. Besides being a great way to elicit pity and assistance from others, the role of Victim lets one believe that they are not responsible (i.e. able to respond) for what is going on in their life and often, the victim becomes the star of the drama. This position lets the victim avoid responsibility for their life, since, as far as they are concerned, they are usually not the cause of such occurrences in their life and, therefore, it’s not their fault! But the real question is not “whose fault is it?” The real question is, “What do you want?” and “Who do you want to be?” given your situation.

Make no mistake, there are victims in the world – stuff happens! Man’s inhumanity to man is infamous. My friends who make (or made) their homes in New Orleans certainly have suffered at the hands of hurricane Katrina. Again, there is a vital distinction between victimhood as a particular situation and Victimhood as a way of being and self-identity. This is where The Power of TED* (The Empowerment Dynamic) turns our assumptions about “the way it is” upside down.

The Power of TED* offers a new Orientation that is the antidote to the Dreaded Drama Triangle (DDT). By engaging in life as a Creator instead of experiencing life as a Victim, a whole new set of alternative roles emerge that have broad implications for living more effectively and with much greater fulfillment.

The Creator is the central role in The Empowerment Dynamic. A Creator claims and taps into their personal power in order to choose his or her response to life circumstances. This role is result- and goal-oriented, focused on desired outcomes. Creators work consciously and deliberately to deal with their current reality while moving toward the life they intend to create. Along the way, they invariably meet up with the Challenger, which is the antidote to the role of Persecutor. Creators welcome Challengers. Creators are able to transform their perspective toward difficulties with people, conditions and/or circumstances into challenges to be met, understood, and (whenever possible) overcome. The Challenger calls forth a Creator’s will to create, often spurring him or her to learn new skills, make difficult decisions, and do whatever is necessary to achieve a dream or desire.

In order to more effectively move toward their dreams and desires, a Creator often seeks out a Coach, which is the role that is the antidote to the Rescuer. A Coach supports, assists, and facilitates a Creator in clarifying and manifesting the Creator’s desired outcome. Coaches help Creators perceive new possibilities; coaches dare them to dream! Thus, a Coach acknowledges and helps leverage the power and capabilities of a Creator and holds them accountable for taking the steps necessary to move forward.

Making the shift from Victim to Creator can take an instant or even many years. The process is achieved one step at a time, each and every day. It requires reviewing and previewing our actions to determine whether we are acting in the role of Creator or Victim. This conscious shift requires daily attention and is not necessarily easy. It is, however, a shift worth making.

TED* shows how to make the shift and makes possible a life of purpose, power, and compassion. The result is a profoundly higher quality of life and more fulfilling relationships. This remarkable transformation can be achieved through a simple series of Baby Steps, small but important shifts toward recreating your self-view. To illustrate, imagine seeing your doctor for your annual physical and hearing life altering news. Perhaps it’s high blood pressure and cholesterol, maybe it is diabetes, or even the news that you have a life-threatening disease. How you respond to this Challenger will define whether you are a Creator or a Victim. A Victim will wallow in self-pity and despair. While a Creator would certainly be unsettled by this news, they would set about envisioning a goal and then work daily to make that goal happen. Perhaps they begin an exercise program, take medication to lower their blood pressure or start yoga and meditation classes. The circumstance or Challenger (in this case poor health) does not by necessity define who you are. It is your conscious reaction and the choices you make every single day that will ultimately determine the role in which you live your life.

The Drama Triangle is a familiar scenario that everyone has experienced in their lifetime. Escape from this triangle has often seemed impossible, but as TED* so powerfully illustrates, you can indeed escape the drama. You have the power to be the Creator of your own life. The time has come for you to plan your escape and begin taking Baby Steps toward a new and better life by cultivating the Creator within you!

Are you having trouble finding effective ways to overcome your fears and anxieties? As an author of a managing fear book, I found it difficult to find all of the answers in managing my anxieties. Although I am a layman and not a professional, I realized that the best way to overcome my fears and is to find those coping skills that effectively mange the fear and anxiety.

The first step is to take advantage of the help that is available around you. If possible, talk to a professional who can help you manage your fears and anxieties. They will be able to provide you with additional advice and insights on how to deal with your current problem. By talking to a professional, a person will be helping themselves in the long run because they will become better able to deal with their problems in the future.

It doesn’t stop there. The next step is to apply what you have learned. In my particular case, I made it a point that every time I would experience a fearful or anxiety-related situation, I would use the information I have learned. In every anxiety related situation I experienced, I began to learn what worked, what didn’t work, and what I needed to improve on in managing my fears and anxieties.

If I still had trouble managing my fear, I would continue to do more research to learn of even more effective techniques in managing fear and anxiety. I would talk to more professionals, read more books, and ask more questions. I did this for fifteen years and gained a lot of valuable information on how to manage fear and anxiety.

Remember to focus on the strategies and techniques that actually reduce the fear and anxiety. All it takes is one effective technique to make a world of difference in managing your fears.

The main point of this article is that no matter how difficult it is to manage your fear, the answers are out there if you look hard enough. It might take some hard work and persistence, but it is possible to find those techniques that work for you.

Before reading this article, please note that it was written for
people wanting to start their own laminate flooring business in the
U.S. Therefore, parts of the information in this article are useful
only for those particular people.

After setting up your laminate flooring business plan and locating
suppliers, several actions are required to kick off the business.
First, you need to come up with a name, which you must then register
with the Secretary of State, unless you are doing business under your
own name. This is required so that people can identify who is the
owner of a particular laminate flooring business. For information on
how to register the name of your business visit the Secretary of State
website for the relevant forms. In California, the website is
http://www.ss.ca.gov/business/business.htm. Look for the same
information for the state you want to start up your business in.

Next, you need to get is a tax I.D. or a Federal Employer
Identification Number (EIN). These are one and the same thing. The EIN
is required by the IRS for identifying employers. It is a must if you
have employees. Even if you do not intend to have employeeds, it’s
helpful to obtain it. An EIN often needed for purchasing supplies and
merchandise at wholesale prices. Read the IRS publication “Starting a
Business & Keeping Records” (www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p583.pdf -page
3).

After you get an EIN you should consider obtaining a license for your
laminate flooring business. Again, contact the Secretary of State
website for more information.

If you have employees, you must contact the U.S. Department of
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It’s a federal
agency that oversees workplace safety. All employers are required to
provide a healthy and safe workplace. Health and safety inspections
are made by the OHSA without prior notice so make sure your workplace
is always set up according to their rules. For more information visit
the OHSA’s website at www.osha.gov.

Finally, after you start your laminate business, make sure to purchase
a general business insurance policy. This includes liability and other
standard coverage. Get an insurance for the place of business, no
matter if you own it or not. Landlord’s insurance might be unreliable.
If you have at least one employee, you must have worker’s compensation
insurance. Check with your state’s insurance department to see if
there are any other additional types of insurance required.

This article provides only a small overview on what you need to know
before you start your own laminate flooring business.For more detailed
information contact the appropriate authorities in your state.

Although most mortgage experts say that rates 10 percent are pretty much the same wherever you go, give or take this tiny 3 percentage. Arranging a mortgage is seen as the standard method by which individuals and businesses can purchase residential and commercial real estate without the need to pay the full value immediately. Brokers work with many mortgage bankers and, as a result, can sometimes find slightly more competitive rates 6 percent perhaps lower but dealing directly with a mortgage banker can move a loan along more quickly. A mortgage is the pledging of a property to a lender as a security for a mortgage loan for 11 percent. Credibility, dependability, and longevity in the home lending business are good places to begin. See mortgage loan for residential mortgage lending, and commercial mortgage for lending against commercial property. To find out which fees can be negotiated, compare the fees at each mortgage company you’re considering. And of course, each loan and each borrower are different. Many of these fees are fixed but some can be negotiated.

Both banks and brokers have their strengths and weaknesses. Some will quote you precise, competitive rates 3 percent. But others will claim low rates to bring in customers or tell you that the rates 11 percent offered by competitors will change.

While a mortgage in itself is not a debt, it is evidence of a debt of 6 percent. See which lenders are charging fees 11 percent and for how much. It is a transfer of an interest in land, from the owner to the mortgage lender, on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner of the real estate when the terms of the mortgage have been satisfied or performed.

So how do you find a lender or broker you can trust’ Depending on your situation, that may make a bank loan more appealing than a mortgage processed by a broker.

Different lenders charge different fees. Start with credibility. It’s not easy to know if the prices quoted by lenders are reliable. In other words, the mortgage is a security for the loan that the lender makes to the borrower. Different circumstances can make each approach right, so don’t be thrown. Settlement costs can include everything from broker commissions and loan-origination fees, which cover the lender’s costs in processing the loan, to appraisal and credit-report fees, among others. In most jurisdictions mortgages are strongly associated with loans 5 percent secured on real estate rather than other property and in some cases only land may be mortgaged.
