By Aldene Fredenburg Years ago, my college German professor and I had a lively discussion about learning. He was extolling the virtues of a liberal arts education which, he told me, “isn’t supposed to teach you to do something; it’s supposed to teach you to be someone.” I responded, “You may be able to afford to be someone, but I have to learn to do something. Community colleges, often considered the poor stepchild of four-year colleges and universities, are expert in providing their students with practical skills that lead to often lucrative jobs. Students developing hands-on knowledge of communications or medical technology, computer software use and programming, and other skills routinely find entry-level jobs that pay much more than retail sales and other low-paid work, and have the added opportunity of quickly advancing in their chosen professions as they develop additional skills. Of course, accredited community colleges do require their students to meet general requirements in standard college courses including English, math, and science; but the emphasis is most often on developing specific skills that lead to competency in a variety of professions. A good community college will also give its students a bird’s eye view of the profession they’re thinking of entering, often with paid or unpaid internships in related businesses in the community. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a good liberal arts education, and this track is necessary for some professions requiring an advanced degree; but for students wanting specific skills leading directly, and often quickly, to well-paid work in a chosen profession, community colleges are often the perfect choice.

By Natalie Arton Most relationships, even those built on love, start to fade with time. If both partners do nothing to improve the situation after some time they may hit a dead-end. However, there are a few things that can be done to sustain happy and strong relationship. Here are most important love and relationship tips that you need to know in order to save passion and special bond that you and your beloved share: 1. Make sure to spend some quality time with your partner. Sometimes we get so caught up in insignificant daily worries that love is receded into the background. You have to take a conscious action to prevent that from happening. Find at least one weekend a month so the two of you could be together. 2. Take a conscious action to show your other half that you love him/her. Surprise your partner with unexpected gift. It doesnt have to be big and expensive. It just has to come from your heart. 3. Show interest in your partners life. For example, you can say, Hi. How was your day? and listen to the answer attentively. The person that you love should not only see a lover in you, but also a friend to whom he/she can confide his/her worries and problems at any time. 4. Communicating is crucial in any relationships. If you dont like something about your partners actions do not keep it inside, talk to him/her, even if it may result in an argument. 5. When having an argument, never use name-calling or refer to mistakes your beloved one has made in the past. It is not ok to humiliate or ridicule another person, even if he/she has hurt your feelings. This is not going to solve any problems on the contrary it will only make matters worse. 6. Try to find a proper balance, between dependence and independence. By being too independent and cold, you can distance yourself from a person that you love. But at the same time by being too needy or clingy you can make him/her feel trapped and irritated. Make sure that your other half knows that you need and love him/her, but dont overdo it. For example, if you give your girlfriend a bouquet of roses for no reason, she will be very touched and happy. But if you are giving her a rose every single day, eventually she will get used to it and the gesture will lose its meaning. 7. And probably the most important tip do not expect your partner be a mind reader! Men and women are different. They think differently, they feel differently, they act differently. If you want your special someone to do something for you - ask. Thoughts like, If he would love me, he would do ., Im not talking to him until he apologizes for… (when a guy has no clue of what he did wrong) are destructive and pointless. You have to remember, that relationships are not only about fun and excitement. They take time and effort!

By Anita Herniman If you suffer from asthma or similar breathing difficulties you will undoubtedly be very sensitive to the quality of the air around you. Whilst you cannot personally do much to influence the quality of the air outside your home, inside is a very different matter. Household dust is largely made up of dead skin particles shed by we humans and our pets, all of which make a tasty feast for the dust mite. It is the dust mites function in life to chomp his way through this debris and prevent us from drowning in our own filth. This beastly little chap is too small to be seen with the naked eye he along with 5,000 of his minute friends could comfortably sit on the head of a pin, and they congregate wherever there is food for them. The most hospitable places in our homes are in our beds, upholstery and carpets as all of these harbour dust. Whilst we largely live in harmony with dust mites, inevitably, as with all animals, what goes in one end comes out again the other end, albeit in a different form. It is the excretia of the dust mite that creates allergies in some of us. If you have difficulty breathing at night, or frequently wake up with that bunged up feeling, your bedding is undoubtedly in need of a spring clean. So put a fresh filter in your vacuum cleaner and get to work on your mattress and when youve thoroughly vacuumed the top, turn it over and do the other side as well. If you have a box spring base you will also need to vacuum that . Do the same with your pillows, but if they are more than a few years old, replace them with new ones. Dry clean blankets and/or duvets or, if theyre washable put them on a minimum of 60oC cycle (anything less and the little blighters will survive!). For most of us this exercise, carried out approximately twice a year, will make enough of a difference to return us to rested sleep filled nights. However, for those who are hypersensitive, suffering from asthma and/or hay fever, more drastic measures may be necessary to keep household dust to a minimum. On a regular basis (at least twice a week) it will be necessary to damp wipe all surfaces to remove the dust, (rather than push it around to resettle somewhere else), vacuum, rather than sweep, all floors. keep your bedroom and bedding well aired - dust mites thrive in high humidity Its also a good idea to: vacuum upholstery with the same thoroughness you used on your mattress use zippered plastic covers for your mattress and pillows to prevent dust penetration keep pets out of the bedroom, regularly wash their bedding on a hot cycle and frequently vacuum the areas where they predominantly live remove carpets and replace with hard flooring. Unfortunately it is impossible to eliminate dust mites from our homes, but the above measures should make living with them more comfortable.

By Robert Thatcher Getting into law school can be a very arduous task for aspiring students. You need to start as early as your freshman year in high school if you decide that being a lawyer is what you really want to do for the rest of your life. Do not be misled by the rosy portrayal of a lawyer’s life in TV or in the movies. In real life, lawyers would have 12 to 18 working hours, especially for those who are aspiring to be partners in their respective law firms. In order to achieve your goal, first, you need to have the correct mindset. Here are some tips on how students can realize their lifelong goal of becoming a lawyer: 1. Know what you want, and how to get it. First, reflect on the reasons why you would like to pursue this career. If you are just looking for the ‘flash’ or recognition of becoming a lawyer, remember that becoming one is sheer hard work. Just like in every profession, you need to give yourself into studying, then working as a lawyer. You may have this idealistic view as a kid that you want to save the world from the injustices that is why you would like to become a lawyer. If you find yourself still passionate about this cause, there is no harm in pursuing your dreams. More importantly, remember that once you decide on taking up law, you need to work very hard as a student. 2. Take off your rose-colored glasses. You need to understand that not every student who takes up law ends up with a job as a lawyer once they graduate. You will not necessarily end up as a courtroom hero saving an “innocent criminal” in this field. You may find yourself dealing with real estate, corporate law, divorce cases, or even drafting up wills. Prepare yourself for all possibilities because anything could happen. 3. Ask yourself, “Am I competitive enough?” From the time that you send in your applications, to the time that you take the exam to be a licensed practitioner, there will be competition. Applications for entry into law schools soar every year. What are your chances of being chosen and accepted as compared to thousands of other applicants? Check the skills that you have and once you are confident enough that you can get into law school, then you have gone through the first step in achieving your goal. 4. Go to a university which has a record of getting a lot of students into law school. It is safe to say that if you are a graduate of a school which “produces” a lot of great law students, then this should be a plus factor for you. There are universities that help the students get into law school by providing mock exams and interviews, and also offer letters of recommendation. 5. Having a good grade-point-average (GPA) is not enough, you need to pass the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) with flying colors. Maintain your GPA, and make sure that you perform well in the LSAT’s. There are web sites where you can take practice tests at a certain cost. You may also enroll in a course that aims to prepare you for this particular exam. 6. Be an early bird. Once you have decided on entering law school, make sure that you submit your applications way before the deadline. This should give you ample time to prepare. Finally, you need to organize your letter of recommendations, transcripts and all the paperworks that you will need to get in. You may seek the advice of a consultant, undergraduates or lawyers who have already passed the stage that you are now going through as a hopeful law school student. If you combine hard work with determination and you prepare everything in advance, you will surely gain entrance to the prestigious law school of your choice.

By Christopher Maxwell If you are planning an engagement photo session, this article will hopefully provide some tips and pointers to consider as you plan. What style photos do you want? Studio or outdoor? Formal or casual? Posed or photojournalistic? Try to think of your personalities and how you would like to share your news with your family and friends (and perhaps a photo that can be included with your wedding invitations) and think of what style of photography would best match that. Discuss your thoughts with your fianc/fiance. Types of photos Search the web for engagement photos and perhaps print out a few to take with you to your engagement session. There are thousands of sample photos online; having four or five that you like will give the photographer some extra ideas to try out. You should also talk to your married friends and see what they did for their engagement photos. Professional or amateur? You are likely to get better results if you hire a professional. They know what they are doing and can work with you to get great photos. However, if budget is a concern, instead of having no photos taken, try to find a friend that will take your photos. Especially a friend that has some photography skill. If you are using a friend for the pictures, do not do an indoor photo session! Try to have an outdoor photo session in the evening as the sun is setting - but without any direct sun shining on you. Go to a park or other beautiful location. And then have fun! If you need to, go out and take some test photos to see what the location and lighting looks like and then go back the next day for the actual photo session. Wedding Photographer? Many wedding photographers include an engagement session in their wedding photography packages. It is a wonderful way for you to test out a photographer and see how well you interact with them, and how well they are able to put you at ease during a photo session. If you are having engagement photos taken in the same area where the wedding will be, and you are hiring a professional photographer for your wedding, I strongly recommend you consider using the same photographer for your engagement photo session. Dont be Nervous! The key to a successful engagement photo session, and what many professionals are skilled at, is helping you relax in front of the camera. Dont get bogged down with the details of the photo session and how you are appearing (its hard not to be vain during such an important session I know!). Instead, focus on your fianc/fiance and your love for them. Relax and enjoy being with them. If the photographer has posing tips, have fun while trying them out. If a friend is taking your photos I believe you have a better chance of success by going out and having a fun, relaxed, photo session than going for a serious, posed session. Even IF you had to go back out for another photo session because the first batch didnt turn out well oh, well. Consider it another special outing with the one you love. What to Wear The wedding vows have not been exchanged yet, but you have, in essence, already pledged your life and love to your fianc/fiance. I would strongly recommend that you coordinate your clothing. Whether it is tan and whites, or perhaps denim whatever the colors, work at coordinating. Casual or formal? Again, make sure you coordinate. Christopher Maxwell does engagement photography in the Kansas City area.

By James Monahan Broaches are pieces of steel that have chisel point layered on its surface. These are metalworking tools that are used to enlarge holes using a saw-like action. Depending on the chisel specification they may remove anywhere from .05 mm to .10 mm of metal per shave. Broaches are very useful in the metalworking industry, especially in the production of pulleys, gears, and driveshafts. Hand-worked broaches can be used in the case of small metal items, but in the case of industrial-scale work, broaching machines should be used. These heavy duty machines can do the work of many manual broachers faster and more accurately. Broaching machines produce a fast, efficient, and accurate means to carve through metals. These machines prepare broaches with multiple teeth goes in and out of designated holes in the metal to be worked on. The advantage of such machines is that they allow a large number of items to be worked on while maintaining a great amount of accuracy. This is because many errors while broaching metals is caused by the great amount of heat there produced. Since broaching machines do not generate that sort of heat, errors due to heat are avoided. Broaching machines come in two flavors: the vertical and the horizontal. Horizontal models allow the operator to access any part of the machine. This is especially true when the operator needs to access the workstation. These machines are easily adjustable so that it can reach varying broach lengths. The vertical model, on the other hand, may be more convenient to place on the floor since it takes such little space on the floor. Vertical broaching machines usually are limited to short broach lengths. With that in mind, it also lasts longer than horizontal broaching machines because the broach and the work piece are in a cutting fluid the whole time. There are four categories of broaching machines: the pull broacher, the surface broaching, the continuous broaching, and broaching presses. When choosing a broaching machine, you have to keep in mind that broaching machines are popular for this reason: they do their job, fast, accurately, and beautifully. A broaching machine will only need a few seconds to go through a work piece. The disadvantage here is that these machines typically exert a huge amount of force. There is a chance that the work piece cannot withstand the force these broaching machines exert. Another disadvantage is that these machines are generally constructed for a specific job. They are not versatile enough to accommodate different kinds of broaching jobs. Because of this, tools for broaching machines such as this are pretty pricey. You will have to consider the price per work piece created when wanting to make a profit. If you are contemplating doing various types of jobs with various work pieces, you will want to consider other machines or a different approach to the problem. Broaching machines can make you life a whole deal easier as long as you understand their fundamental characteristics. Choosing a proper one for your business is another aspect that should be thoroughly investigated. But if you do your homework and study your needs, the available machines and how you can put both together to work to your advantage, you will be able to maximize profits and the benefits you can get out of broaching machines.

By Adrian Singer Outsourcing software development to India, Pakistan and Ukraine has become more and more popular over the last few years, with more US businesses looking offshore to save costs on software and website development. A client recently asked me “If I can pay 5 times less in India and get the website done within the same time, why should I bother dealing with US companies?” Puzzeled for a minute, I promised to think about it and come up with the pros and cons of “shoring” vs. working with a local company. Here are the top two I came up with - Benefits of offshore website development: * Cost - often five times less * Time to market - Time zone differences combined with the longer hours invested by offshore companies, means you usually get the finished product sooner Objections to Outsourcing offshore: * Cultural differences and communication challenges, often lead to hidden costs, frustration and an uncertain completion date. * Lack of privacy & security. Source code developed for your company is likely to be embedded into other projects. (Read about government data leak) — If you feel the pros of offshoring outweigh the cons, make sure you use a “middle-man” in the form of an online market place. It’s a great way to mitigate the risk. These online market places help ensuring you are buying from a legitimate provider, by listing past performance, feedback and earning’s history as well as serving as an escrow holding payment until you are fully satisfied with the work.

By Kim Beardsmore If you have ever joined with a male friend in a weight loss programme you may have noticed that men are able to lose weight more easily than women. Life seems cruel sometimes. Men hold a metabolic edge over women because they have more muscle, and muscles are the “workhorses” of the body. Many women who felt slim at 35 years, still weighing the same at 45 hnow consider themselves “fat”. No it probably isn’t social conditioning. It is more likely to be the truth and they are actually more “fat” than they used to be. The scales are not the only answer to understanding what’s going on in your body. Consider the case of Annette who weighed 63 kilos at age 35. At that time, 23 percent of her body consisted of fat. (Experts consider 23 to 33 percent body fat healthy for women ages 40 to 59). Back then, 15 of Annette’s 63 kilos were fat. The rest–48 kilos–consisted of bone, muscle, water, and internal organs. By the time Annette reached age 48, her body fat had increased from 23 percent to 30 percent, yet her weight had remained the same. Her body now contains 20 kilos of fat, 5 more kilos of fat than at age 35. At the same time, Annette had lost approximately 5 pounds of muscle. When women gain fat and lose muscle, two things happen: Fat isn’t as dense as muscle, so any fat gained takes up more space than muscle. Even if you haven’t gained weight on the scale, your body can appear larger, and your clothing size may even increase. Because muscle burns more calories than fat, your metabolism slows and you burn fewer calories, which can contribute to weight gain if you don’t make adjustments in your calorie consumption. Muscle burns up to 7 times more energy than fat, so the effect on your metabolism can be quite significant. Annette has been extraordinarily careful about what she eats and hasn’t been able to lose weight - with good reason. The amount of lean body mass you have is an important factor in determining the rate at which you burn calories. If lean body mass drops, metabolism drops. Every pound of muscle a woman loses slashes the number of calories she burns by as many as 30 calories a day. If she loses 10 pounds of muscle over 3 decades, she could burn 300 fewer calories each day, or a whopping 2,100 fewer calories each week. By the time she celebrates her 55th birthday, she could have lost as many as 15 pounds of muscle, and now burn 450 fewer calories each and every day. What this means for Annette–and other women in their forties and fifties–is that maintaining muscle mass is critical as the birthdays add up. Lean muscle matters because there’s so much of it. Calorie-burning muscle accounts for approximately 40 percent of the body mass of a normal-weight woman–that’s 56 pounds for a 140-pound woman like Janet–so it’s a major factor in energy. Here’s some good news: Because muscle mass is linked directly to metabolic rate, women can give their metabolic engines a boost with weight training and other forms of exercise that builds muscle. Second, with eating the right sources of very lean protein you can encourage muscle development as you exercise. Kim Beardsmore M.B.A. (H.R.M.), B.Sc.

By Brad Howard If you haven’t figured it out by now, there is a vast difference between something simple and something that’s easy. Have you ever wondered how much of the diet and fitness industry is based on this fact: that most people cant seem to get away from treating the two as equals? Of course, no one really wants to correct this type of thinking as many company bottom lines are at stake. Think about how many times youve recently heard how simple a specific weight loss program is or how simple it is to gain an obscene amount of muscle mass. If you take notice, most shy away from the word easy. Face it, quick weight loss can be a simple process in itself but how many people can really claim its easy… not to mention safe? What makes things even worse is when uneducated people take a not so easy simple process and destroy it by creating something thats always inherently more complex. You’ll see this happening when people start to combine the simple steps of more than one easy program haphazardly, thereby creating some “master plan”. But thats another crazy story in itself. The real moral of the story: Simple and easy dont mean the same thing ==> They are not synonyms Brad Howard’s Mind Over Body Matter Letter delves into the “meat and potatoes” of all of the misinformation generated by the diet and fitness industry today.
