People familiar with the Myers-Briggs Personality test know that the writer is the INFJ. This person is introverted, intuitive, feelings-oriented and judgmental.

So, what happens when an extroverted, intuitive, thinking and perceptive (ENTP) inventor tries to write a novel? For one thing, it takes more than 35 years to finish. The story is never quite right; it always needs tweaking. And, lo and behold, when the ENTP finally does complete a manuscript, he/she will come up with another idea, brilliant of course, which requires scrapping and rewriting three chapters. Unfortunately, once scrapped and rewritten, left-over references to long-gone characters or events somehow live on in the word processor’s memory and mysteriously reappear somewhere in the manuscript. It drives all readers, editors and wives especially, mad.

Even if the ghosts are exorcised from the page, the spouse or whoever else is doing the editing won’t necessarily forget them. Their memories are harder to erase. Only the truest of friends will be willing to read your twentieth revision, and only the most intelligent will be able to assimilate the newest additions at will.

But somehow it finally is finished.
Then it turns out that finishing the novel was the easy part. Trying to get it published is another story entirely. What you hope to be an easy jaunt to the local mailbox to find an agent turns into a Homeric voyage, with hundreds of rejection letters floating in its wake. As every writer knows, authors are uniquely at the mercy of others to bring our work to public attention. A painter or sculptor can usually find a coffee shop or gallery to exhibit their work. The diligent composer will eventually find a local quartet or civic orchestra to play his or her work. But the author alone must rely on the judgment of the publishing professionals, gatekeepers who want to know what makes this manuscript worthy to be included in the approximately 100,000 new books that will be published in the coming year. Quality doesn’t even matter. Even if it is better than 95% of the books in print, the question an agent must face is why should a publisher add this particular manuscript to his list? Who will buy it? After all, this writer is unknown. Then comes the cruelest question of all. Why should I even bother to read it? Most of the time they don’t. According to Curtis Brown, on average, a known agent will get 50 to 100 queries a day. Of this number the agent will read as few as one percent of the total number of proposed manuscripts they receive in an average year. Only one manuscript in three will be accepted.

The sad fact is that there are more writers seeking publishers than the total number of books ever published. Jay Leno’s All Stars could have written many of them, but even if you have talent, the numbers are still staggering. Potential novice writers can find a writing class somewhere in the country nearly every day of the year. If they don’t want to attend one in person, they can always find one on the Web. Legitimate writing professionals lead most of these classes, but far too many are only meant to separate prospective authors from their cash. Either way they will sooner or later be looking for a publisher.

So, knowing all this, why did I persist? Because I could not do otherwise. The urge to write is as deep in my being as a smoker’s desire for the next cigarette or an alcoholic’s for the next drink. I love words and I love thoughts. The idea that someone 100 years from now might read and like the book outweighs any negative criticism or public indifference that I may run into in my lifetime. My advice to anyone who has such the same urge is simply: write. Forget the odds and don’t be discouraged. When you have a product that you know is your best work, try to get it published. Finally, don’t feel like a failure if you have to publish it yourself. Quality will tell, even if only your friends are aware of it. Believe me, it’s worth it.

Oh, James! It used to be about intrigue, fast cars and faster women. But for some men, James is becoming a figure of culture, style and the ever growing importance of grooming.

While men have always attached as much importance as women to their external appearance; it looks like they’re now using more skin care products than simply the basic shaving products.

Especially among the younger generation, this group is increasing their consumption in skin care - and its natural products that are occupying a strong position.

They prefer it Naturally shaken not Commercially Stirred

Because men’s skin is relatively robust, natural skin care products perform well. Because of their all natural substances these products offer long-term positive effects and can even stimulate the skin to self-regulation. In contrast, paraffins such as synthetic dye stuffs, solvents and preservatives can lead to skin irritations.

Particularly appealing to men are low-irritation ingredients, soothing herbal compositions, special masculine fragrances and practical two-in-one products.

The Products That Love them

Fragrance also plays an important role for men. Current popular notes include sage, cucumber, nutmeg and cardamom. Other scents consisting of patchouli and cedarwood with a base of lemongrass, rosemary and clove provide a warm fragrance that appeal to both sexes. Even notes of rose wood and vetiver create a sensual base that men like.

Another increasing trend for men is having a facial and getting their feet done. And, in keeping with the traditional soap on a rope gift, handcrafted vegetable-based soap with a woodsy or an enticing citrus essential oil blend are becoming a real favorite with the younger men while still pleasing the older gents.

Men are becoming increasingly educated about their skin care. A perfect example is their after shave regime. It used to be just about finding a nonirritating aftershave or shaving lotion now he understands that this is just a masculine name for a gentle toner.

At your Service

Large commercial manufacturers are now looking to cater to these men but are concerned that men’s skin care products are too feminine. Men’s attraction to natural skin care manufacturers is perhaps that the packaging tends to be less focused on gender appeal, but rather on product quality, overall well-being and consumer education. Add an easy-going environment making it especially attractive to men.

As a result, traditional manufacturers are now playing with the notion that men are principally concerned with functionality over aesthetics. Some have stated that men are not really interested in multi functionality, opting instead for the no-fuss and minimalist approach to their personal care routine. While some others feel that there is no market, just marketers needing something to do since the female skin care segment is saturated.

For Your Eyes Only

Maybe a little of each is true. What else is true is that men’s skin care market is full of potential but very little is known about men’s preferences. What is known is that there are a large proportion of men who are resorting to buying natural facial care preparations for women because men place an emphasis on convenient application and on an attractive price-benefit ratio.

But, unlike Bond who accidentally discovers that Shatterhand is his nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld - large manufacturers will strategically come to a man near you. They will spend time to understand what he needs and through the power of packaging will build desire with this new consumer to buy their products.

And, before we know it, that splash rich in botanicals and herbs will unlikely be “all natural” but will have that market appeal with the ever-so-clever packaging and cost him twice as much.

Cecilia loves skin care products. So, it’s no surprise that she co-created A Natural Perspective to be “The Place” for quality 100% natural, holistic skin and health care products.

A Natural Perspective is a resource for the busy person like you who wants quality skin care, product information.

With all the negative Publicity that S.pam is Getting, Permission Based E-mail Marketing is frequently too often overlooked as the Misunderstood step Child of Internet Marketing. Unfortunately Many people confuse Permission Based Opt-In E-Mail Marketing with that Ugly 4 Letter S-Word S.Pam.

Permission Based E-Mail Marketing is Sending E-Mails to People who have agreed to receive them. Many Top Internet Marketers go to great lengths to build an Opt-In Mail List. Creating an Opt-In List is fairly easy. If you know the Right Steps

1. Generate a Lead Capture Page

2. Drive Traffic to Your Lead Capture Page.

Simple yes Easy No. You could spend Years Building Lead Capture Pages and sending traffic to them and still have a List of only a few thousand at Best. Here are a few more methods you can use to help improve your Lead Capture Efforts

1. Pop-Up Subscription Box on All of Your Web Pages
2. A List Sign Box on All of Your Web Page
3. Going Viral by Creating an E-Book or Free Software that you allow everyone to give out. Of course you would require people to sign up for your list before you give them the freebie.

If you haven’t built a large Opt-In E-Mail List or If just want to send some extra E-mail you could ‘Borrow’ Someone Else’s Opt-In List. Here are a 6 Methods to ‘Borrow’ the Opt-In E-mail lists of Other’s

1. Pay a Fee - You can pay someone with a list anywhere from $5 to many Thousands of Dollars to send an E-Mail to their Opt-In E-Mail List

2. Joint venture - This Method is Often used with a Digital Downloadable Product. The Joint Venture Partner would get a Percentage (10% to 75% are very Common) in return for sending an E-mail to their List. The List members would download from a Special Link so that orders could be tracked

3. Barter - A Good Friend of Mine would offer a Free Solo Ad or Solo Mailing in his E-Zine in return for a Digital Product.

4. Ezine Ads - You could run Solo Ads or Solo E-Mails in E-Zines.

5. Submit Articles - When you submit an article they are often picked up by E-Zines and Republished. Your Resource Box is then seen by all the Members of the E-Zine.

6. Paid to Read - This Method works best with Free or Low Cost Products. Do a Google Search on Paid To read and you will find hundreds if not thousands of them. The Members are often Paid anywhere from 1 cent to 5 Cents to read an E-Mail and Click on a Link. As an Advertiser you would pay $5 to $20 Per Thousand clicks.

Now that we know how to borrow someone else’s list the next question you may want to ask is Should I borrow someone’s list. Let’s do a Simple Cost Benefit analysis

A Solo Mailing to an Opt-In List of 100,000 Members costs $100 is it a good deal for you. In order to decide if this is a good value you need to know 2 Numbers, Your Conversion Percentage and your Profit per Sale. If you do not know your conversion Percentage use a real low number like 1/10 of a Percent or 1 in 1,000. So for a Conversion rate of 1/10 of a Percent with 100,000 E-mails you could expect 100 Sales. If your Profit per sale is more then $1 then this is a Good Deal.

If Your profit per sale is less then $1 it still may be a good deal if you can get some of those 100 Buyers to Purchase additional Products Later.

There are a few very important tasks associated with using the digital camera. The most important is of course capturing a beautiful photograph. The next most important task is that of transferring this image somewhere from where it can be printed. The most suitable place is hence the computer. Now, here comes another area of importance that needs to be analyzed and sufficient knowledge is required to be imparted to the users to make ample use of such an important feature. This discussion is thus generally focused upon this mechanism to transfer the digital camera images to the computer, and the various types of such a transfer. Looking from a very simple point of view, there are two methods for transferring the digital camera images to the computer; they are firstly by attaching the digital camera directly to the computer (a process that is popularly called tethering) and secondly by the use of a memory card reader.

In the present world most digital cameras are endowed with arrangements for a comparatively nippy USB connection. USB is basically an interface between a computer and peripheral devices like keyboards, telephones, scanners, and printers. In the current case this peripheral device is the digital camera. This USB feature enables the computer to be directly connected to the digital camera and transfer the images via the USB port present in the computer itself also. Many of the computer operating systems (like the Windows XP) have features for in-built tethering support for this purpose solely. One major problem of this feature of tethering is that it consumes a huge amount of power from the batteries. For this reason, many of the digital cameras are provided with AC adapter that powers the camera. The appropriate software installed within the computer and the digital cameras provides the entire task for making a successful transfer of the images from the digital camera to the computer.

Regarding the software associated with such a digital image transfer from a digital camera to a computer, it is important to state that digital cameras come equipped with CDs containing driver files, image viewers and photo editing software. It connects to the computer via a USB or other port. Some digital cameras come with a PCMCIA interface also.

The next feature for making a successful transfer of image from the digital camera to the computer is via memory card readers. These memory card readers make image transfers without consuming a lot of the precious digital camera batteries; this is the best part of this method. Two important points define the memory card readers; the first is the type of memory card the digital camera uses for storing images. Secondly, the type of connection the digital camera has with the computer. USB is the most predominant kind of card reader available in today’s world. In some cases, many computers are equipped with certain slots that take in cards directly inside the computer or may be with the help of a PC card adapter too. Then the transfers of images are made appropriately from the digital camera into the computer memory efficiently.

All the features and the technology discussed in the above lines are focused towards uncovering the various efficient and suitable methods for a better transfer method of the images and photographs from the digital camera into the computer memory. As technology advances with years, these would get further improved and the popularity and flexibility of this fantastic device, the digital camera, would get even more all the rage!

Flying into the International airport of Alicante, places you right in the centre of the Costa Blanca holiday region. To the south, the costal plane is fairly flat with long sandy beaches, many of them blue flag, ideal of your Costa Blanca vacation.

The region of Murcia has many golf courses to choose from, La Manga is probably the most famous, right at the southern most point of the Costa Blanca coast and next to the Mar Menor, an inland sea famed for its healing properties. The costal town of Torrevieja, with its port and new marina, is an ideal location for golfers to stay. Nearby are the golf resorts of Villamartin, Campoamor, Las Ramblas and Ciudad Quesada. Many people have visited this area from abroad, fallen in love with it and bought a home, either to settle down here or use as holiday accommodation or an investment.

To the south of Torrevieja is the rocky headland of Cabo Roig, often referred to as the jewel of the southern Costa Blanca with its hidden bays and blue flag beaches. Between Cabo Roig and Torrevieja are the resorts of La Zenia and Playa Flamenca with their family safe sandy beaches. Inland from Torrevieja are the salt lakes which have been mined for salt for centuries. The lakes are an ideal location for bird spotters as Flamingos can be seen here.

To the north of Torrevieja the sandy beach stretches some 17 km to Santa Pola and the resort village of La Marina. Both these vacation resorts are about 20 to 25 minutes from the airport at Alicante. La Marina and Santa Pola are near to the La Marquesa golf course at Rojales 8 km inland. The area is known as the market garden because of the numerous olive, orange, lemon groves.

Alicante is much more than just a setting for the airport. The town is steeped in history and has a beautiful promenade and excellent shopping district amongst the historic buildings. You can also catch a boat from here to the nature resort on the islands of Tabarca.

It all started when I was in second or third grade. Before going to bed every night, my parents and I would read together, usually a chapter or two from a book I couldn’t yet manage on my own (the Chronicles of Narnia stand out most in my memory). Maybe I knew that I was bound to be near sighted since both of my parents were, or maybe I’d seen somebody I admired on TV who was wearing glasses, but whatever the inspiration, I had the sudden desire to wear glasses. One night I starting squinting and pulling the book closer to my face, trying to show my parents that my eyesight was failing and that I needed glasses. I must not have been very convincing because nothing came of it, and after two weeks of trying, I abandoned the act.

My First Pair of Glasses
Several years later, my eyesight really did start to decline, but now I was significantly less keen on wearing glasses than I had previously been. Instead of making a show of needing to get my eyes checked, I did all that I could to hide the fact. I succeeded in hiding it for so long, in fact, that when I finally put on my new glasses for the first time, I was stunned. I had never seen (or noticed) such detail or definition. There were individual leaves on the tree just outside the door and the sign on the other side of the street actually had words written on it. I didn’t know that a person’s vision could be this good.

It didn’t take too long, however, before I realized how much more nerdy my glasses made me look than I already was. The huge, bright-blue wire rims, though thin, were much too big for my small face. Worse still, they didn’t like to stay on my nose and were constantly slipping down. By consequence, I developed the subconscious habit of crinkling my nose in an attempt to handlessly push the glasses back up to where they belonged, a habit which inspired a new nickname of “Rabbit.” For the next three years, contact lenses topped my Christmas list.

The Great Change
I don’t know whether it was my parents’ concern that I would neglect my contact lens care or their unwillingness to shell out the big bucks that kept them from allowing me to get contact lenses. It wasn’t until I started playing lacrosse my freshman year of high school that I was finally able to convince them that getting contacts was not only a good idea but a necessity. I was lacking enough in athletic ability as it was, that practicing without my glasses was just a bad idea altogether. And when I got hit in the face with one too many balls–it was only one, but still one too many–the decision was final.

Contacts. Finally. What a dream. Had I been a little more daring, I might have gone for something crazy like special effect lenses, wild eyes, or even just colored lenses. But as it was, I was too elated to be shedding the horrid glasses to care about whether my eyes were green, brown, electric blue, or feline.

The Next Step
Since I gave up playing lacrosse long ago and my prejudice against glasses has worn off, some may say that it’s time I take the next logical step in my eye care progression and get laser eye surgery. I just shake my head and reply that I’m still quite content with my contacts and won’t be taking that step anytime in the near future. Maybe it’s because I’m poor; maybe it’s because I’m skeptical. Or maybe it’s because I haven’t forgotten what a dream it was to finally get contact lenses.

Hillary loves doing puzzles on the Internet, reading Harry Potter, and running half marathons. For more information on contact lenses and contact care, visit http://www.discountcontacts.info.

My Business is Afraid of the Internet

Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, once said that there would soon be two types of businesses, those online, and those out of business. Those words still ring true today, and many small businesses are missing a huge boat by not getting online.

A good portion of small businesses have been around for a while, long before banner ads and even email became so wildly popular. These owners built their business from the ground-up, working hard and long to develop their products and services. These owners see great value in hard work, and for that they should be applauded.

As technology increases, hard work changes forms. Today, every business, from a babysitter to a widget manufacturer should have a website. An estimated 60% of homes in the US now have broadband, and nearly 90% have at least one computer. These numbers cannot be ignored by business owners and marketing teams. People are flocking to the Internet to find phone numbers, local merchants, and new friends.

No longer can businesses dismiss the Internet as a fad. The amount of online sales in 2003 surpassed $6 Billion.

Even if a business has no physical merchandise to sell, there are still plenty of reasons to have their information online. Contact numbers, addresses, and maps can save receptionists time on the phone. Forms that need to be submitted can be printed and filled out before customers come in. Newsletters can help promote any business and upcoming sales.

Websites can be very cost-effective to build. For just a small investment you could be online in a matter of days.

No business should be afraid of the Internet. If your business is, or you are, you?d better get hold of someone that can help you, and fast!

When times are tough, many business owners believe that no expense is too sacred to be spared from the cost-cutting axe. The cost-containment craze of the 21st Century promises
to be more than a passing fancy — it will remain a key to survival in an increasingly competitive global market. Still, business owners, particularly of small and medium sized
businesses, should take great pains to ensure that their insurance programs are not compromised.

A business owner’s need for adequate insurance protection can be greater than the insurance needs of an employee. And while people whose paychecks are signed by someone else quite
naturally have similar concerns as their employers: protection against financial loss that can be brought on by death, disability or insufficient retirement funding, when the employer
is hit by these same circumstances — everyone can suffer.

Think of the many insurance situations that can impact both a business and its owner. Most employers don’t think twice about securing property and casualty insurance. These coverages
include auto, property and fire insurance. Other business owners wouldn’t think twice about neglecting liability and other commercial insurance — necessities for a business when one
lawsuit can close it down. The protection afforded by this type of insurance is easily understood.

It’s on the life and health side of the insurance coin that many employers have a hard time understanding the consequences. Most business owners fully understand the basic principles as they apply to individuals, but what about the effect insurance — or lack of it — can have on a workplace?

Insurance is most critical in areas that can’t be predicted,” says Leta Finch, director of the Vermont Insurance Institute. “Many employers are naive when it comes to assessing risk in the workplace.”

When a business goes through a rough time, the employer feels the pain most acutely. But business owners shouldn’t fool themselves: it affects employees, too. When a business
suffers, employees feel the stress — a leading cause of health problems and disability. As these problems mount — causing loss of experience, expertise and man-hours — the business
suffers even further.

Cutting benefits only adds to the stress. Morale can suffer, and more often than not, quality and customer service go downhill, too. Perhaps an employer’s rationale is that jobs
are scarce and employees have no place else to go. That’s short-sighted — the availability of qualified workers is as cyclical as the economy. What happens when the employment market
opens up again?

Providing employees with access to adequate insurance is one way employers can make a lasting impression on a workforce, while even maintaining or improving morale. And insurance can help to ensure the success of the business in other ways. When employees are disabled, they can recoup most of a lost paycheck through disability income coverage, and the business probably won’t suffer. Likewise when a business owner becomes disabled, a disability income policy can help restore lost income. But what about the business? This is where a Disability Overhead Expense policy comes in, providing additional benefits for
business owners to help them defray “fixed” business expenses (such as rent, utilities etc) that must be paid regardless of whether the business owner can work. Life insurance can
also be used as a means of attracting and keeping qualified personnel, and it can also be used to fund buy-sell agreements.

When employers find insurance premiums hard to take, Finch suggests another step they can take to contain costs. “Although risk assessment and management is quite common in property
and casualty insurance, it is quite foreign to us on a personal level,” she says. “Personal risk management often comes only from very tragic lessons learned in life. Clearly, if risk
management principles are applied to the disability and health side of insurance, we can prevent many things from happening, and we can do it affordably.

Business owners buy many kinds of insurance for one reason — protection against potential loss. Bad economic times don’t normally change those reasons, or a business owner’s need
for insurance.

So, you are in a bind. Your rent is due and you don’t have the funds available to pay your landlord? What to do? Well, after praying about your next step the revelation you receive may be not what you had expected. Perhaps you were looking for a miracle instead perhaps God has shown you ways for you to work out your problem quickly and legally. Yes, there are many ways to make money that are honest and smart. Let’s take a look at some of them right now.

Ways to make money are perhaps much more numerous than you first thought:

Hold a garage sale: Chances are you have some things around your house that you no longer are in need of. If so, hang a sign out front and invite neighbors and “drive bys” to visit you. While you may not own a big ticket item that can garner you a nice return, a bunch of smaller items including clothes, bric-a-brac, books, etc. could push you over the top.

Ebay: Not everyone is fond of garage or yard sales. In addition, if you have a special item which you know could bring in more money if you could advertise it, consider eBay or another online auction site to sell what-have-you. EBay has proven to be one of the biggest ways to make money that there is today.

Bake, clean, or provide another service: Not everyone has the time or inclination to cook for themselves, pick up their dry cleaning, mow the lawn, clean, etc. You neighbors may be too busy to take care of their yard but would gladly pay someone they know such as you to do the work for them. Offer to organize their attic or garage and don’t be shy to charge them a decent rate. Perhaps in exchange for money they will offer to you whatever is in their garage of value. This can one of the ways to make money as you resell what they have online or in your next yard sale.

Online help: If you own a computer and have internet access, then this can be one of the ways to make money quickly and legally. Sometimes blog managers will pay for posters to add a few paragraphs of comments to their sites while others will be glad if you moderate their forums. Either way, if there is money involved you can raise cash that way too.

Watch the kids: Not everyone likes to babysit other children, but perhaps you are already “giving that service away” when your friends drop their children off to play with your kids. Let’s be smart about it: are you providing a play date or babysitting services? If the latter, start charging by the hour to make sure your hard work gets a return on the investment!

Yes, there are many ways to make money you hadn’t thought of in the past. Don’t borrow off of your credit card and don’t take out a loan you won’t be able to repay later. Chances are there is a service you can provide, an item you could sell, or something you can offer that will bring in money quickly. Are there many ways to make money? Yes! Find out what they are and step forward in faith today.
