How To Remember Those Important Dates!

C.S. Lewis’ stated, “The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.” In other words, you and I have the same amount of time as the president of the United States has everyday. Absolutely nobody can say that he or she has a minute more than the next person. All of us are given 24 hours a day, not a second more. It is said that death is the great equalizer because no matter what your stature in the world is, you will meet your maker sooner or later just like everybody else.

Ebay Ebook Success: How to identify Resell Rights in Ebooks

Identifying resell rights in an ebook may seem like a no brainer. However, when I started selling ebooks on eBay I did not know how to be truly sure that I possessed the resell rights to an item I was selling.

International Music Increasing in Popularity in the U.S.

International or world music has never been one of the most popular genres for U.S. audiences, perhaps due to the adherence of American youth culture to trendsetting musical styles.

Mortgage Industry Slow Down....Stick It Out Or Run?

I’ve been following the real estate market since the mid 80’s. One thing for sure is that there are trends to follow and trends to look out for. Let me explain….In the early to mid 80’s, prices of homes were flat and the number of new loans and refinances were stable.

Features of a Good Design

Text Text is big enough to read. Background does not interrupt the text. The content is clear. You need to identify what you want to achieve with your website.

Philosophy & Ideas: Of Darkness and Light

Late in the ninth century in southwest England, Alfred, a Saxon prince fifth in line to the throne of Wessex, came to power following the death of his last brother, Ethelred.

Yet he was to become one of the most influential of all English kings, with a profound effect on the future of his people by sharing his philosophy and ideas on the values of learning. His reign lasted 28 years, during which time he held the invading Viking Danes at bay, ultimately making peace with them as they settled in East Anglia. While his later successes against a new Danish invasion from Europe in the 890s was reason enough for his subsequent fam View the rest of this article

What You Need to Know About Your Hair's Elasticity

When your hair is wet, it's structure is altered, causing it to become thicker and longer. It gets longer because it absorbs water and stretches. Your hair's elasticity is the measure of how much it will stretch (and then return to its normal length).

Elasticity
The elasticity of your hair depends on a couple of factors - whether it is wet or not and whether it is healthy or unhealthy. Healthy hair stretches up to 35% of its length before snapping off whereas unhealthy hair breaks more quickly because it does not have much elasticity. Healthy dry hair stretches up to 20% of its normal length and healthy wet hair can stretch up to 50% of its usual length and then return to its former length without breaking.

Cost of Mini Tummy Tuck

Adding more people to delaying projects

A project that can be done by a single developer in 3 months is said to be 3 man-month projects. Often the calendar duration is 45 – 60 days which means that the vendor organization will allocate 2 developers to work on it. So, with a quick calculation you can tell that a 3 man-month project will take 1.5 months if 2 developers are working on it. Does than mean that if you can have 3 developers working on project then this project can be done in 1 month? I don’t think so! “….Add more people and get it done sooner” - This is the #1 idea that 90% people get when they have a pressing deadline and they want the project to be done sooner.

Learn How to Surf in Just 1 Day

The first thing you need is the right surfboard. Most people make the mistake of trying to learn how to surf on a board that is too short.

Glimpses of Esoteric Christianity Part 6

Perfection



"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matt 5:48)



The Nazarene Master uttered the above verse to the masses, who for centuries have overlooked the significance and importance of the mandate. Even the priesthood do not seem to stress this commandment, teaching instead the erroneous concept of the original sinful nature of man, and his redemption by an external saviour. Supposedly we were born in sin, live in sin, and die in sin; and that there is no way that we will be saved from eternal damnation in hell unless we develop a blind faith in the divinity and the sole sonship of God of a certain individual. This belief contradicts various esoteric precepts of Jesus, including the View the rest of this article

How do you try to relax?

She and I do not see eye to eye on helping others. She gives selflessly to anyone who would listen. This has left her in poverty and often times without food. She View the rest of this article
