By Joy Cagil When my headdress was about to be placed on my stiff-with-hair-spray head, my mother asked for a happily married matron among the women in the family. No one stepped forward; although, quite a few married women were in the room. So, my mother called my aunt who seemed to be the most happily married person around. Something had to be right with that superstition because my marriage has lasted several decades and it seems to be continuing on an even keel. For the happiness to be handed down from generation to generation, the placing of the headdress probably corresponds with the wearing of the garter or something borrowed. When it comes to weddings, our most superstitious selves surface from the depths of our culture’s common conscience. Since I have always considered myself a citizen of the world, it is a good thing that, at the time of my wedding, I did not know about all the wedding superstitions in the world. Otherwise, I would have been a nervous wreck. The common superstitions we know of–such as the bride having on something blue and something new or the tin cans attached behind the couple’s car–are based on the centuries-old beliefs in good or bad luck and chasing away evil spirits. Avoiding bad luck has always been a major concern. Even the day or the month in which one gets married has a say in a couple’s fortune. For example: “Marry in the month of May, and you’ll surely rue the day,” and “Marry on Monday for wealth, on Tuesday for health.” Then, the flowers in the wedding have superstitions attached to them, too; however, the superstition of one region may be at odds with the superstition of another region. In some Middle Eastern cultures, the bride has to carry white Calla Lilies. Yet, lilies in other cultures are associated with death. Superstitions connected with the wedding attire are plentiful. We all know of the belief that bans the groom from seeing the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding. I wonder if toting or holding a red umbrella over a bride, as the Chinese believed, would help evade many an unhappy marriage in the west, and heaven forbid if a bride’s dress gets torn before the wedding, for that would mean death. Before Queen Victoria introduced the white wedding dress, wedding dresses were made in colors and each color had a certain superstition attached to it according to the region. With the exception of the Irish brides, wearing green meant promiscuity due to rolling on green grass, and therefore, bad luck. Then, the bridesmaids’ same color and style dresses were thought to chase off evil spirits by confusing them. The bridal veil has descended from the Roman times to protect the bride by disguising her; however, after a few centuries, the veil has symbolized chastity. Although most superstitions revolve around the bride, the groom, too, is not exempt from stepping into bad luck and that has been the primary reason for the best man’s existence. The best man carries a good luck charm in his pocket and sees to it that the groom arrives to the ceremony before the bride, to avoid bad luck, of course. During the ceremony, the Jewish groom breaks a glass, and in most cultures, the bride stands to the left of the groom probably to let his right hand to stay free for his sword to defend her. Another job for most grooms is to carry their brides over the threshold of their new home. In its origin, this probably had nothing to do with luck; it was there to avoid the bride’s tripping over the threshold in her long gown. Anything circular is good luck, too. While in my son’s wedding unity candles placed in a circle plate signified the union of the two families, some couples circle around the room to unite the families. In Greece, couples circle the altar three times for Holy Trinity; the Sikhs circle six times while rose petals are thrown at them; and Mexican couples are circled or knotted together by a large ring of rosary beads. In Finland, however, no knots are allowed. They are replaced by matches to keep the love burning. Talking of keeping the love burning, the luckiest part of the wedding has to be the kiss, because it is so romantic. In the olden times, in most cultures, the kiss was deemed to be the only requirement in place of the marriage vows. Wedding superstitions are too numerous to count one by one, and luckily, they reflect the playful side of us. They are not to be taken seriously but they are there to be enjoyed. Still, in your weddings and in your life, may good luck be with you always.

By Robert Mosse Everyone needs some form of flower guide to get the most out of their gardens, especially those who may not have time to garden every day. Flower gardening is all about stimulating the senses with a display of colors. So what should we plant, and when? The buzz in gardening seems to be about whether to plant annual or perennial flowers. Some of these flowers give us textures, shapes and heights, while others just go blooming crazy all season long. Here’s a basic flower guide for these two kinds of flowers that will help you design a spectacular wash of color for your garden. Annual Flower Guide: Annuals do all of their growing in one season. The seeds germinate in the spring, the plants bloom and grow all season, and then they die. You will have to plant them each season, but the result is instant color. Also, if you make an error in your design about color or height, the wrong effect will only last a year. Annuals produce an endless array of colors and sizes, and most are easy to plant and grow. They can be used for cuttings, in mass plantings, for edging, in rock gardens, in mixed beds, in containers, and in hanging baskets. Indeed, most annuals are fabulous plants for the weekend gardener because they are so versatile and not too finicky. For all their glorious color, annuals are very inexpensive. You can start them indoors as seedlings, or buy bedding plants from your nursery or garden center. The majority of annuals bloom for most of the growing season. Here’s a list of some great annual flowers that are easy to grow, show off spectacular colors, and are worth every dig of a trowel to plant: Begonia - Grows 6 to 12 inches tall. Flowers are white, pink, red, rose and scarlet. Tricolor Chrysanthemum Grows 2 to 3 feet. Flowers are white, yellow, gold, red, or maroon, with contrasting color bands on the base of the petals. (This chrysanthemum is different from the perennial chrysanthemum called the “garden mum”.) Dahlia Grows 1 to 6 feet. Flowers are every color except blue and green. Geranium Grows up to 2 feet. Flowers are white, pink, scarlet, orangish-red, red, and salmon. Impatiens Grows to 1 feet. Flowers are white, pink, rose, scarlet, violet, salmon, and orange. Marigold - Grows 6 inches to 4 feet. Flowers are yellow, gold, orange white, near red, and mahogany. Zinnia - Grows 6 to 36 inches. Flowers are all colors except blue. Perennial Flower Guide: Basically speaking, perennial flowers live more than one growing season, returning year after year. When perennials finish blooming, their foliage provides wonderful background texture, form, and color for your garden. Perennial flowers may only bloom for a short spell and at certain times of the growing season. This makes it more difficult to plant a garden limited only to perennials and still achieve the desired effect of constant color. For this reason, mixing perennials with annual flowers is the key to a fabulous garden of continual color. Let’s look at some favorite perennial flowers that offer magnificent color and depth to any garden, and will grow just about anywhere: Butterfly Weed Grows 1 to 3 feet. Flowers are bright orange (great for attracting butterflies!) with pretty pods covering the plant once the flowering ends. Blooms all summer. Chrysanthemum or “Garden Mum” - Grows 1 to 4 feet. Flowers are all colors but blue. Blooms in the fall. Daylily Grows 1 to 3 feet. Flowers are all colors except blue and white. Blooms from late spring to fall. Felicia Grows 1 to 2 feet; Flowers are blue-petalled with yellow centers. Blooms from early summer to fall. Hosta Grows up to 3 feet. Flowers are white, lavender or pale violet, often with colorful foliage. Blooms from summer to early fall. Peony Grows 2 to 4 feet; Flowers are white, pink, maroon or red. Blooms from late spring to early summer. Shasta Daisy - Grows 1 to 4 feet. Flowers have white petals usually with a yellow center. Blooms all summer. With a little experience and planning, you can create a flower garden that blooms from one end to the other, from spring through fall. Bring together a few of these annual and perennial flowers for a wonderful mixed garden. Learn as you go, make your own improvements but most of all enjoy whatever time you do have in your garden. Soon you’ll be writing your own flower guide inspired by your garden creations!

By Debra Tan While our mother went to bed with freshly scrubbed faces, many of us now use night creams that come packed with everything from antioxidants and natural plant extracts to synthetic lipids and vitamins for radiant, youthful looking skin (read: remove wrinkles, fine lines, blemishes, sagging skin). But do these creams really work, or are they just a conspiracy to get use buy another product with no proven benefits? After all, shouldn’t your skin be allowed to recover after a days worth of skincare and make-up products? Save Your Skin According to experts, using a night cream can actually help your skin recover faster. The key is that night and day creams do different jobs. Night creams stimulate cell renewal and restore elasticity, while day cream protect skin from the ageing, darkening and damaging effects of pollution and the suns UV rays. Both creams are formulated to keep skin moisturized, but night creams are more likely to be richer, with more anti-ageing and moisturizing ingredients. Your Body Clock Different biological processes happen when you are awake and when you are asleep. In the day, your body is bust using up its resources. But at night, your body seizes the chance to repair and restore itself. This applies to your skin as well. Studies also show that your skin losses more water at night, and this drying effect is worse if you sleep with air-conditioning. That is why night creams tined to be more moisturizing to prevent dehydration and premature wrinkling. Your skins ability to absorb the active ingredients peaks at around 1 am, when skin cell production more than doubles. So, in theory, applying a skincare treatment via a night cream allows your skin to absorb more of the active ingredients when it is most receptive. If you are keen on anti-ageing or whitening skincare, night creams are worth trying as they contain a higher concentration of antioxidants and whitening ingredients than day cream. This is because there is no need to include UV protection since it is used at night, which means scientists can stuff in higher concentrations of anti-ageing or whitening ingredients. What Works For You The night cream you selected depends on your skin type. For instance, if you have oily skin that is prone to blackheads and blemishes, a hydrating but oil-free formula is a good choice. On the other hand, dry skin tends to suffer from fine lines and wrinkles, so it will benefit from a richer night cream. Meanwhile, if you have sensitive skin, go for a hypoallergenic formula with ingredients that strengthen the skin and the tiny blood capillaries. Hot Tubs Your decade-by-decade guide to the right night cream 20s Consider a light but moisturizing night cream. It will help prevent breakouts and blemishes, since skin that isnt moisturized tends to produce more oil to protect from the sun. Choose : Ingredients such as alpha or beta hydroxy acids, which help exfoliate skin and make it look brighter; antioxidants such as vitamin A, C and E aid cell repair and protect skin from pollutants; botanicals such as aloe vera, chamomile and sea algae soothe and moisture; non-oily, non-comedogenic or non-acnegenic formulas dont clog the pores. 30s Laugh lines are showing up around the forehead, eyes and mouth. Skin is prone to dryness, and may suffer from sallowness, especially since skin cell renewal is slowing down. Choose : Products with anti-ageing and anti-sagging ingredients such as retinol, panthenol and copper result in collagen production and renewal; antioxidants and lipids boost skins moisture absorption; oil-free products help to avoid breakouts; astringent-free products prevents dehydration. 40s and beyond Those laugh lines have become deeper, while skin starts to sag. With oestrogen levels fluctuating, your skin can become dry and may even suffer from breakouts. Moisturizing is now your top priority. Choose : Ingredients such as soy, wheat germ, wheat protein and honey help skin retain water, making it appear firm and plump; glycolic acid helps get rid of dead cells and impurities; plant-based emollients such as shea butter and apricot kernel oil up the moisturizing effect; cell-repairing antioxidants to help skin renew itself at night.

By Sharon White In 2001 National Learners Survey reported some of the reasons why some people are taking active part in education and some dont. Among those who took part in the questionnaire it was possible to determine some of the reasons why adults were involved in studying process. Those reasons were: - to increase level of job satisfaction - add skills for the current job - further their further career It was also determined that finance was considered the most popular field and students were interested in it the most both for the future career possibilities and knowledge useful during life. Finance is one of the most important issues to consider when goinginto Higher Education. First and foremost the question that needs tobe asked is Is it financially feasible?. The majority of expenseswill lie with the course fees which amount to approximately 1, 150 peryear, unless the chosen course is one such as social work or nursing,in which case there are no course tuition fees. Equipment that isneeded by the learner for the course can also cost a lot of moneydepending on the course undertaken; the essentials regardless of thecourse will include a computer and printer, books from the readinglists, writing materials, files and folders. Accommodation will, insome cases, also need to be taken into account. The learner, ifremaining where they live for the duration of the course, will stillneed to pay the rent/mortgage and household bills. This can have amajor effect on finances and make employment continuation necessary.If the learner has dependants, the cost of childcare will also need tobe considered. Depending on the location of the learner in comparisonto the location of the institution, travel can become costly; trainand bus fares can add up, as well as petrol refills. Help with finances for adult learners is easily accessible in manycases, to encourage adults to continue to Higher Education; there aremany organizations that can offer help and support. The Learndirectwebsite holds information on childcare and available benefits and theLocal Education Authority will be able to provide learners with anAdult Dependants Grant. Student loans are also available and advicewith coping with the cost of education can be found onwww.learndirect.co.uk and www.moneymatterstome.co.uk. Travel again is necessary to consider as it takes time. If theinstitution a learner decides on is not the most local and it isdecided not to move into closer accommodation, the question ofcommuting time will arise and need to be addressed. Even if theuniversity is close to the learners place of residence, daily traveltime to and fro will still need to be taken into account. Other areasconcerning time availability requiring thought include outsidecommitments such as dependant children and work. School and homeroutines will need to be considered as will the childcare of youngdependants. Working hours may need to be adjusted if the employerallows flexible hours; the learner may also need to think aboutreducing the hours worked to part time or maybe even stopping work, ifthis is a financially viable option. Choosing the right course can be quite difficult and can present manyquestions. One decision that needs to be made is whether to study fulltime or part time; factors such as children or work commitments mayinfluence this. The institutions the leaner decides to enroll in needto be researched thoroughly. The learner needs to look into thelocality of the institution for reasons such as travel time and cost,and if willing to relocate, will need to think about the stress ofmoving. Another factor in deciding on the institution will be theentry requirements for the course and at what level to study, forexample diploma or degree level. If choosing to study at diploma levelthe learner may not need qualifications to a level as high as atdegree level, however diploma level courses tend to be more vocationalthan degree level courses, which, more often than not, offer morewidespread choice. One question that all adult learners will need to ask themselvesbefore entering Higher Education is whether or not they are preparedto commence this level of study. Factors in this are whether or notthe learner has the right qualifications to meet the entryrequirements for the course. Also to be considered is any experiencethe learner may have, for example any work experience relevant to thecourse, either paid or voluntary. Personal experience may alsoincrease the level of preparation of the learner, especially wherehealth related courses such as nursing are concerned, for examplebeing a career for a relative with a disability. There are many factors to consider when applying to Higher Education,the most prominent of which are finances, time, the course itself, andlevels of preparation. There are a large number of decisions to makebut, as statistics show, there are many plus sides to entering HigherEducation during adulthood and help and support are available everystep of the way.

By Steve Hanson How many times do you cold call a prospective customer, only to be connected to their voicemail? Do you leave a message? Many people will not leave messages because they never receive a call back. That’s because they usually do one of two things: 1) they simply leave their name, company name and phone number, or 2) they leave a more detailed message that sounds like a sales pitch. In both cases, they’re never going to receive a call back. That’s because there’s no WIIFM (what’s in it for me?) for the recipient of the call. With a little planning, you can not only use voicemail to get a return phone call, but you can use it to leave a memorable impression that will eventually lead to a meeting with the prospective client. So what’s the trick for getting them to call back? A good rule of thumb for leaving voicemail messages that get return calls is to 1) start with your 30-second elevator speech (or the first part of it), and 2) make a compelling statement that gets them thinking! Use words that describe how they feel: frustrated, disappointed, irritated, annoyed, concerned, overwhelmed, unhappy, skeptical. Here is an example: Hi, this is John Smith with All-American Cleaning Company. We work with companies who are frustrated with their current cleaning service, or disappointed in the value they’re receiving for the money they’re spending. If this sounds familiar, please give me a call because I may have some solutions for you. My number is 555-123-1234. I look forward to talking with you. Even if this doesn’t compel the prospect to return your call, don’t give up. Remember, it takes several “touches” before people make a purchase, so continue to follow up with them. Does that mean leaving six more voicemail messages? No, you might get blacklisted if you repeatedly do that. But after a week, try another voicemail follow up that is similar to the first message you left, but with a little more urgency: Hi, this is John Smith with All-American Cleaning Company again. If you are frustrated with your current cleaning company or find you’re spending too much time managing tenant complaints, I can be a valuable resource for you. Please give me a call at 555-123-1234. Challenge yourself to create a list of problems that your customers want solved. Then use this list to create variations of the voicemails listed above. Track which voicemails get the best response and start using these as your first and second voicemail messages. The goal here is to get the prospect to pick up the phone and ask, “How can you do that?” Another way to continue the contact with this prospect is to make a follow up call after mailing a sales letter, flyer or brochure. In this case, leave a message something like this: Hi, this is John Smith with All-American Cleaning Company. I’m calling about the information I sent about the benefits of using green cleaning methods for the health and safety of your tenants and employees. I just need about 10 minutes of your time. Are you available next Tuesday at 9 a.m. or next Wednesday at 11 a.m.? Please give me a call at 555-123-1234. I look forward to meeting with you. By now your prospect has had four “touches” from you - the first two voice mails, the mailing, and the follow-up to the mailing. What if you had given up after the first call? The prospect would have forgotten about you a long time ago. But now they’ve heard from you four times, so with a little more persistence you should be able to connect with the prospect. They’ll remember who you are and you’ll have a much better chance of getting that meeting in person.

By Tom Manfredi Most of us realize that in order to lose weight we have to reduce our daily caloric intake and/or increase our daily caloric expenditure. The challenge for the average person is to figure out how to do this as simply and painlessly as possible. If we can do these things simply and painlessly, then we have a better chance of continuing to do them and being successful for the long term. So what are some ideas on how we can meet this challenge while keeping it as simple and painless as possible? Lets keep in mind that most sensible weight loss plans recommend losing no more than two pounds per week. In caloric terms that translates to a change of about 1,000 calories per day. That probably sounds like a lot, but lets look at some simple things that will help. Here are four ideas that I think meet the bill: 1. No matter what kind of weight loss plan you are on, you need to include exercise as one of the components. Why? Because exercise not only burns calories, it builds muscle. And muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue. In other words, you get extra caloric benefit by exercising. A 175 pound person can burn about 10 calories per minute by walking briskly or jogging slowly. Exercise professionals generally recommend a minimum of 30 minutes on most days of the week of aerobic (walking, etc.) exercise to maintain heart health. Lets do the math. Thirty minutes of aerobic exercise each day will burn about 300 calories. If we throw in 2 days of strength training (which is also recommended), we can be pretty confident that we will average a daily caloric deficit of 300 calories. And that doesnt take into consideration the fact that the aerobic exercise will increase our general metabolic rate, which will help us burn even more calories. There are a number of researchers out there now that are talking about using the concept of high density, low calorie foods to help us make major, positive adjustments to our diets. Using these concepts will help you to feel fuller, while eating substantially less calories. 2. Try cutting down on some of the high calorie foods that you eat. Remember that fat has twice as many calories as proteins or carbohydrates. Also, sugary foods and many white flour foods have a lot of calories and very little nutritional value. So try to cut down on high fat items as well as foods with a lot of sugar. Cakes and cookies usually have a lot of both. 3. Eat foods that have a higher moisture content. Try including more salads, juicy fruits, and broth based soups in your daily diet. Because of their high water content, these types of foods will add volume without adding calories. This will help you to feel full faster, and might keep you from eating the high calories foods mentioned above. 4. Make sure you include lots of fiber rich foods in your diet. These foods take up more room in our digestive tract, once again helping us to feel fuller. High fiber foods can also help reduce cholesterol and reduce the chance of getting things like colon cancer. One of the researchers who have done several studies on items 2, 3, and 4 is Barbara J. Rolls, PhD. Her results indicate that following these principles can help a person to reduce their daily caloric intake by 700 to 800 calories. This, coupled with the exercise suggestions in item 1, will help you meet the 1,000 calorie per day target that will allow you to lose a safe 2 pounds of weight per week. These are suggestions that anyone can follow simply and painlessly. So, give it a try. You may be pleasantly surprised by how easy it can be to lose weight and become healthier. ******************* Online fitness coach Tom Manfredi is the creator of the site “fitness-after-50″.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=David_Ruiz]David Ruiz As a new entrepreneur looking for capital, one of your first options for a loan will be the SBA, or to be exact, asking for an SBA-backed loan. SBA loan applications are made through a bank. The SBA guarantees a loan to the bank, so in case the borrower defaults, the bank is guaranteed a portion of the loan by the SBA. (You are still liable for the loan, so your obligation does not go away) This makes it easier for banks to lend to budding entrepreneurs, but it does not mean that the bank can lend indiscriminately. The bank will analyze the application to protect its interest as well as the SBAs. The SBA does not lend directly to the business owner. It is important that the bank you are working with is knowledgeable about SBA loans, as it will initially process your application, not the SBA. The SBA will review the application once the bank approves it. What will the bank look for in your application? Good Credit Score. This is a very important factor in the consideration for a loan, but not the only one. If your score is not good right now, work on improving it. Although good credit is a key factor for getting a loan, is not the only factor. If you dont have perfect credit, you can mitigate it by providing a thorough business plan, collateral, a higher co-investment in the project, a cosigner, etc. You will have to explain any outstanding issues with your credit. Moreover, lenders have different appetite for risk (large commercial banks are usually more conservative), so you may be able to find a lender that will work with you. Collateral (security for loan). In some cases a good credit score and down payment are enough to secure a loan. However depending on the amount of the loan, you may also have to offer collateral. You can use your house, stocks, or any other major possession as collateral if the bank requires security in the event you cannot pay back the loan. Experience. The relevant experience of the business owner is an important factor for the loan package. Banks feel more confident in giving out a loan to business owners who have relevant experience in the business that they are starting, such as a dentist opening a private practice. Owners Investment. If you are forming a new business, be prepared to invest a certain portion of the start-up costs personally. Lenders rarely finance 100% of the business. They will expect you to raise 20 to 40% of the investment yourself. The higher your personal investment in the business, the better the loan application looks to the lender. Good Business Concept or Plan. A good business concept that is believable and relatively conservative. Lenders are conservative organizations that do not like to take large risks. Capacity to Manage and Pay. The business should be able to generate enough cash to pay back the loan installments. Guarantees. The lender will look at how the loan can be secured. He or she will give importance to the individuals personal financial statement and see if the loan can be secured against personal or business assets. When applying for a loan and writing a business plan, make sure your financial projections are correct. Do your research. Know your business. It is surprising to see the number of entrepreneurs who do not pay enough attention to the financial aspect of the business. Paying close attention to the financial details will determine whether your business will survive. Although most banks want to help entrepreneurs fund and expand their businesses, their primary responsibility is to make money from the loans and minimize their risk. Just because you have a great idea and are motivated to see it through, you may not get a loan. In fact, banks are very careful with innovation; they are conservative institutions that tend to lend to tried-and-true businesses. Whenever you submit your business proposal, always ask yourself, What would make this a good deal for the bank? What assurances (aside from my good credit and great idea) can I give to the bank so it will get its money back plus interest?
