Don't Get Caught In The Security Trap
by maurice pye - Thursday, 20 March 2008, 04:13 AM
Anyone in the world
By Ramon Greenwood The day you begin to think of your job in terms of the security versus the opportunities it provides is the day you start to put the brakes on building your career. Time was when a young person entering the workforce could reasonably assume he was signing a lifetime security covenant with his employer. If he worked hard and kept its nose clean he could expect to be taken care of with a job for as long as he could show up for work. Promotions would come along as openings occurred. Thered be a pension at retirement. It was a womb to tomb deal. Loyalty was a two- way street. The Rules Have Changed Todays headlines make it clear thats no longer the case, says Ramon Greenwood, senior career counselor at Common Sense At Work. Sears Roebuck, known for 119 years as a company that kept its employees loyalty with compensation and benefits has recently announced the firing of 500 employees at its headquarters. Another 1,000 are expected to get pink slips within a few months. Workers who hang on can expect reduced levels of compensation and benefits, the company says. Going forward, employment will be tied closely to performance and company profits. Changing the very nature of its business, IBM, a name synonymous with lifetime security, has dismissed thousands of employees. Stalwarts such as GM, United Airlines and Delta Airlines make news regularly with announcements of reductions or outright eliminations of jobs and pensions. And there are Enron and WorldCom where employees have seen their employee stock plans and pensions go in the trashcan when their employers violated the terms of their relationship. Employers Cannot Provide Security! The only one source of real, lasting security is when you have the know-what-to- do and how-to-get-it-done abilities that employers will buy. Its in your mind and heart, Greenwood declares. When you begin to crave security and search for it from outside sources is the time you restrict your range of options to take your skills and training to their limits in search of personal satisfaction. Your security is your responsibility. If you succumb to its lure, security will eventually prove to be a debilitating, habit- forming drug. It will rob you of the will and the ability to act in your own self- interest. This is when you begin to make career decisions based on security rather than opportunity to grow. The organization offers you an opportunity to move to another location to become manager of a new facility. You decline because you are afraid you might fail in the new responsibilities, and besides, you like the security of staying put and playing it safe until you are vested in your pension. You come up with an idea that will improve the output of your department. Your boss doesnt think it is workable. You drop the idea because you are afraid if you push it, the boss might penalize you. Besides you are comfortable with things the way they are. Why rock the boat? You have a good record as a salesman. You are offered a promotion to regional sales manager. You decline because you dont want to take on the responsibility and the increased travel. A Frog In Hot Water When you begin to get comfortable remember the frog. Put him in a pot of cool water over a flame. The frog will frolic about happy in the security of the environment even as the water goes from cool to warm. How good it feels. He will continue to adapt, swimming about contentedly, even as the water reaches a slow boil. It is not until the water reaches the boiling point that the frog recognizes he is in serious trouble and tries to get out. By that time, his strength has been sapped and it is too late. A Lesson From Ancient Rome In explaining the fall of the ancient city of Rome, the historian Edward Gibbon wrote: In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life. And in their quest for it allsecurity, comfort and freedomthey lost it all. Its Your Choice Seizing every opportunity to be all you can be and security are mutually exclusive. If you want security more than opportunity thats fine, but remember theres a price to pay.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Keith_Rickwood]Keith Rickwood One of the ultimate objectives of advancement in technology is simplification. The good things in life are always simple. And the mobile telecommunications domain is no exception to this general rule. Scientists, researchers and engineers around the world are involved in designing and developing simple handsets that are nonetheless innovative in their capabilities and versatile in their functions. The latest mobile phones are an outcome of that endeavor. In my opinion, it is more correct to call these gadgets mobile devices instead of restricting them to the term mobile phones. They are sleek in their looks and can take on diverse roles with equal ease. Apart from being used for effective communication, the latest handsets can also be used as digital cameras, as mp3 players, as video players, as internet modems and so much more. As of now, the market is replete with different types of handsets such as music enabled mobile phones, camera phones, 3g mobile phones and so much more! The music enabled mobile phones come with in-built music players; many among them are empowered with music management software. The camera mobile phones are equipped with cutting edge imaging options. The 3g phones, with their specialized capabilities for video calling and internet access, offer a more engaging way to communicate as well as obtain information. All the different categories of handsets have their own unique features and are designed and developed with the ultimate objective of satisfying the end users. A case in point is the development of third-generation wireless communication and the popularity of 3g handsets. These innovative mobile phones are capable of supporting multimedia messaging and location based services. The market for these specialized services is quite extensive and is growing with each passing day. To cater to this growing demand, many of the latest mobile phones are featured in personalized mobile phone portals. A person interested in purchasing a handset can find, compare and buy the latest handsets; they can also subscribe to attractive mobile phone deals. They can thus visit these mobile phone sites and acquire handsets that complement their mobile lifestyles!

Affection in Relationships
by maurice pye - Friday, 14 March 2008, 12:58 PM
Anyone in the world
By Lee Wilson Lonely. That's what Janette felt when her husband didn't kiss her goodbye before leaving for work. Sometimes his forgetfulness in this area brought her to tears. It wasn't that she thought he no longer loved her. In fact, she often took time to logically consider that he was in a hurry and accidently overlooked that small event. But the fact that he could overlook it is what hurt. Her husband, Daniel, loved her very much. He often found himself thinking of her during the day and wished he could leave work to drive home to her. But she didn't know because he didn't call to tell her. Daniel never knew how much Janette hurt because of his failure to be affectionate. When she was affectionate to him he would reciprocate with signs of love and closeness, but Janette wanted him to initiate affection some of the time. She didn't know how to tell him this and developed bitterness from the years of feeling deprived. Why was it not enough for Janette to know that Daniel loved her? Why did she need something more? This is not simply an issue among women. Though there are important similarities, men often give and receive affection differently than women, but still crave it. It's clear that humans inherently desire demonstrations of love. Most often this demonstration is touching, kissing, gift giving, making love, doing favors such as preparing a favorite meal or creating artwork such as poetry or music. Affection usually occurs because the one giving affection can't contain the love they feel for the other person. That love compels them to act. That's why it hurt Janette when Daniel would forget. She'd think, "If he loves me as much as I love him, he wouldn't forget." Daniel thought of his work as affection to Janette. He thought of things like cutting the grass, sharing a meal and going to see "chick flicks" with her as affectionate acts. He didn't realize her pain because she didn't tell him. She should have told him how she wanted to be shown affection. She felt like she was giving, but felt he wasn't. It's that dual desire that is key to fulfilling the need for affection. You see, it's not just that we want to recieve it, it's that we also want to give it away. We need to be shown affection just as much as we need to show it. If either role is lacking, we feel incomplete just like Janette. Perhaps that is why it is often said that successful relationships involve "give and take." Be sure to give. Expect to recieve. Tell your significant other if you feel you need something more or something different. It's that important. -Lee Wilson 2006 Lee Wilson.

Pure Intentions
by maurice pye - Thursday, 13 March 2008, 02:21 AM
Anyone in the world
By Eliyahu Mitterhoff Speak to the children of Israel, and have them take for Me an offering; from every person whose heart inspires him to generosity, you shall take My offering (Shemos 25:2). Rashi explains: "and have them take for Me" means dedicated to My name (Midrash Tanchuma). If you were asked to give a donation to help rebuild the 3rd Temple wouldn't you give with a full heart and for the sake of the mitzva? Why does Chazal need to tell us that the giving of the money for the mishkan needed to be with such pure intentions? Rav Henach Leibowitz learns that even when the evil inclination cannot stop us from doing a mitzva he can corrupt our intentions and degrade our service to our Creator. We need to be constantly on guard that we do not perform the mitzvoth for honor, prestige, or other side motivations. Since we are spending much time and energy to do the mitzvoth anyway, it makes sense that we should work on purifying our motives. One mitzva done with a truly pure heart can upgrade and change the quality of our entire being. Application: Choose one mitzva that you are going to do with absolute purity. Give 10 quick answers to the following sentence stem: If I could do this mitzva with absolute purity, I would ... Rabbi Eliyahu Mitterhoff is the director of the Global Yeshiva. The Global Yeshiva is devoted to creating a warm and friendly yet serious place for people of all levels to share and discuss Torah and Orthodox Judaism. He envisions this as a great and unprecedented historic opportunity to share, learn, teach and spread Torah on a global level.

The Bond Between Judaism and Israel
by maurice pye - Tuesday, 11 March 2008, 02:26 PM
Anyone in the world
By Yair Harvard The connection between Judaism and Israel has long, deep, historic roots. The holy Torah clearly shows, that the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, and that the great fathers of the Jewish nation Avraham, Yitzhak and Yaakov lived in "Kenaan" land (which is Israel of nowadays). The modern claim of Arab leaders, that Israel (or, as they call it, "Palestine") belongs historically to the Palestinians, is absolutely false and historians specializing in the Middle east proves that the Jewish people lived in that area much earlier. Further than that, the Muslim religion was founded only 1400 years ago, while historic evidences shows that Judaism was rooted in the land of Israel much earlier than that. However, the connection between Judaism and Israel is not just historical, and is not similar at all to the connection between other nations and their lands. The importance of Israel to the Jewish people is mainly religious. For over 2000 years, when Jews were not allowed in Israel, they kept praying for their return. Israel has many sites that are holy to the Jewish people, such as the Western Wall (a wall in Jerusalem which was a part of the original Temple), the tombs of the Jewish biblical characters Avraham, Yitzhak, Yaakov, Sarah, Rivka, Leah, Rachel, Yosef, David, as well as other biblical sites and important Rabbis from the Jewish history. Although the connection between the Jewish people to the land of Israel is clear and obvious, there are some nations and states that refuse to recognize the existence of the Jewish state of Israel (such as Iran, whose president recently said that Israel should be "wiped off the map", Syria, the Palestinian authority etc.). Actually, the question of the Israeli state is often discussed within international forums (UN, Security Council) and raised in the diplomatic ties between countries in the international community. The legitimacy of Israel to exist is obvious and well-agreed, but the extremist arab countries are trying to narrow the Israeli government ability to fight terror and to defend itself and its citizens from threats by hostile countries (such as Iran, who develops an Atomic program) and terrorist organizations (such as Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah etc.). For this reason, the support of the Jewish communities across the world in the state of Israel is so important. Most Jewish people, wherever they live, hold the Jewish faith and the Jewish heritage, and they are faithful to the state of Israel and the idea of Zionism. But being faithful is not enough, especially in the current situation when extremist Arab countries are trying to harm Israel and to influence other countries to do so as well. Jewish people must be active (and proactive) in helping Israel to survive, and can do so in several ways: They can influence the representatives in whatever country they live in to defend the interests of Israel in their parliament and in bilateral connections with other countrys; They can contribute directly to Israel and to their institutes (for example, Jewishop an online Judaica store, that all of its products are made in Israel and helping strengthening the Israeli industry); They can write articles to their local media and convince their friends and family to do so as well, etc. But the most important thing, and the bottom line of my editorial, is not to be silent. The current situation in the international community is similar to the biblical story of David vs. Goliath: Israel is David a young, vibrant country with high moral values and the extremist Arab countries are Goliath corrupt and despicable, with the oil weapon on its side. But this time we must not leave David alone in the battlefield. We must help David, We must help Israel, for the sake of the free world and the western societies.

Flashlight Parts
by maurice pye - Saturday, 8 March 2008, 12:52 PM
Anyone in the world
By Kristy Annely A flashlight is an indispensable part of every tool kit. It is an essential item of use to be kept inside the house, in the glove compartment of your car or even in your backpack. In a moment of panic when you cannot see anything because of a power failure, a flashlight kept handy saves a lot of trouble. Due to these reasons, it becomes extremely essential that you keep flashlight parts also in close proximity. Times when the bulb of your flashlight dies out, or the spring inside the flashlight falls out and gets lost while you were changing the batteries, must be quite numerous. Online shopping provides you with a number of options to upgrade your stock of flashlight spare parts. Replacement bulbs are easily available on all websites selling flashlights. You can either buy them in a pack of one or in packs which may have around six units of the product. You can buy bulbs for as cheap as about $6.00. Upgrade kits are also available online. These kits may contain xenon bulbs, reflectors and lenses. A payment of $20.00 to $25.00 can buy you a high quality kit. Replacement batteries in an array of price ranges are also available. Your web browsing ability can get you some decent deals. The large variety of flashlights available in the market though is guaranteed to get you a deal that will leave you with no scope of buying replacement parts. LED flashlights have since long replaced traditional bulbs previously used in flashlights. The LED technology makes sure that the "bulb" does not die out, at least for a particular number of hours (in the thousands). Also, crank flashlights and rechargeable batteries help you save on the money spent on replaceable batteries. Like everything that you buy, a flashlight too must be purchased keeping all your requirements in mind. A good buy can ensure that you have a long lasting and dependable flashlight by your side at a very affordable price.

The Miracle Diet Drug that Fen Phen Attorneys Now Know is No Miracle
by maurice pye - Friday, 7 March 2008, 04:54 PM
Anyone in the world
By N. Johnson After the miracle diet drug, Fen Phen, was introduced in the early 90s, nearly 6.5 million people consumed the drug. The reason for such a large consumption was the immediate weight loss associated with the drug. However, after ties between Fen Phen and the fatal Primary Pulmonary Hypertension were established, American Home Products removed the drug from the market in mid September of 97. While Fen Phen supporters did not want to believe the horrible side effects that would befall some, they soon came to the realization that the drug was quite harmful. Soon after Fen Phen was pulled from American shelves, evidence implicating AHP of withholding serious knowledge of the harmful side effects the drug would cause came to light. Since millions of people had taken the diet drug Fen Phen, a large percentage of these people were experiencing drastic side effects, and in some cases even death. Many people say they would pay any price to lose weight. However, death was not the price they wanted to pay. A large number of the lawsuits filed in state court were filed because of the different effects Fen Phen caused on peoples health. The people filing suit were seeking some type of compensation for the rising medical bills they were incurring. In late 1997, every single federal Fen Phen case was transferred to the United States District Court. This event started a series of nationwide Fen Phen settlements. In mid-November of 99, preliminary approval was given to the settlement class. In order to find that the agreement reached in the settlement was fair, the district court held a hearing. In August of 2000, the settlement agreement was awarded approval. Thus creating the American Home Products Settlement Trust. After attempts to overturn the courts ruling, the AHP gave in to the settlement. If you are a patient who has suffered from PPH (Primary Pulmonary Hypertension) caused by the diet drug Fen Phen, then you should know that you are not part of the settlement agreement with AHP. All Primary Pulmonary Hypertension patients are required to file independent lawsuits to make any legal claim.

10 Reason To Move Out Of Your Current Apartment
by maurice pye - Thursday, 6 March 2008, 08:40 AM
Anyone in the world
By Andrew Bermam Have you been disturbed and uneasy? Are you toying with the idea of moving out of your current apartment? Very often it is hard to decide whether moving is a good idea or not. It is quite easy to be complacent and resist change. There are umpteen reasons to move. Here are a few important ones: 1. You must consider moving if the police are in your apartment complex regularly rounding up neighbors. Never stay where criminal activities are suspected. 2. Avoid putting yourself in danger and move quickly if you suspect a peeking tom. Voyeurs and stalkers are to be avoided at all costs. 3. You have outgrown the apartment and need more space for yourself and your growing family. 4. You have small children and will save hours commuting by moving to a place closer to work. Often the costs of transport, overtime for baby sitters, and huge delays in commuting will all add up and you may find moving to a seemingly expensive apartment in another area is in actuality a saving. 5. If you are going to save a bundle in insurance by moving to a safer and more up-market locality. 6. If the apartment needs huge repairs and you could be in danger of being crushed by debris. Or, the apartment block is unsafe and a fire hazard. 7. A great new block is offering the option of your becoming the owner after sometime. It is worthwhile if a condo development is making a few unbeatable offers. 8. If your life is about to change from being single to being a family personyou will need more space for a growing family. Look for a place near a good school which has open spaces for play. 9. The roommate you thought was perfect is not. Change is a must if you do not get along with your roommate or if you dont have the same values in life. 10. Your rent is higher than the neighboring areas and you would make a considerable saving by moving to a less expensive suburb. Be sensible sit down calmly and weigh the pros and cons of moving. Discuss your thoughts with a friend or family member. If in doubt make an appointment to see a broker or apartment consultant. Find out what the costs of moving will be. View your needs and daily routine and determine what you need from an apartment and how much you can really afford. Moving decisions cannot be made in a jiffy. It is important to find a home where you feel safe, are protected, and happy. Keys are security, affordability, future plans, and convenience. Jot down your needs on one side of a sheet of paper and what you dont like about your present apartment on another. Put it away for a day or so, then read through it once again and find out whether all you wrote down still applies or whether you feel differently. If you still feel the same then it is a good idea to move.
