Online &Amp; Offline Extra Income Ideas

By | Posted in Water Carts

By Christos Varsamis

It has always been said that necessity is the mother of invention and coming up with ideas to earn extra money seems easier when you really need to do so. When trying to earn extra income ideas may seem a little far-fetched at first, but if you consider the ideas they may seem workable.

When looking to earn extra money you have to remember the idea is not to replace the money you are already earning. In other words, do not give up a regular job in order to earn money from another source. Money earned that way is not extra and you may have trouble staying caught up. Rather, any time and effort you put into earning extra money has to be above and beyond what is normally expended.

A part time job in retail is always possible and with many 24-hour stores it is possible to find a part time job that you can work around your current schedule. Although working out of the house, traveling to a job site, will also take time away from your family. You may want to consider a part time career in wholesaling in which you purchase merchandise at wholesale prices and resell it either at craft shows or online.

Visiting wholesale outlets you can occasionally find a really good price on quality merchandise that you can advertise and sell. Develop a retail website on which to sell this type of merchandise and then keep your eyes open for more bargains. With many of the online pass-through banking companies offering a free secure shopping cart, you can achieve the sales and collect money from your buyers quickly and safely. Many even offer buy now buttons and are capable of printing shipping labels. With home pickup available from most shipping companies, you will not have the time and expense of taking your packages to the post office.

Several companies are advertising how you can make a ton of money with online auctions and even offer to provide the product and handle all shipping and handling. All you need is an auction ID and the willingness to list their products on the auction. Typically, you are also charged a monthly fee for the privilege of listing their merchandise. The difference between the sell price and your cost of the merchandise, minus the listing fees, is your profit. While this may be promising as well as profitable, if the items do not sell, as the one who listed the merchandise you are still responsible for the fees.

Joining with existing online companies to push their products is another method of earning extra money, and several offer a viable business model. Realize that in order for you to achieve sales, you will need to promote your individual website that offers the product for sale.

What Vehicle Is Right For You?}

By | Posted in Cars

Submitted by: Tom Tessin

When looking to purchase a car, you may not know what type you want. If this sounds like you, here’s a low down on a few of the car types on the market today.

Sedans

Sedans are obviously the most bought, and most of the time the cheapest option. Sedans are great for families, considering you buy one with high safety ratings such as the VOLVO brand. Sedans have greatly improved in safety over time, and more than ever now. Most sedans made by car manufacturers today have steel beams surrounding the entire car, not just on the sides! Also, most sedans get the BEST GAS MILEAGE! If you want to get the most for your buck, then the sedan will be right for you- but if you getting a V6 Ford Mustang, then that would be a different story!

Minivans

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps1uH_QQidk[/youtube]

Minivans seem to be the typical “I’m a soccer mom” vehicle. Minivans have also improved in safety and they have lots of interior utility-as long as you’re not off roads. Most minivans are going “out of style” and models are starting to fade out, particularly because of the rise of the crossover which I will talk about later.

Minivans can be considered to be a bit more upscale than sedans but not necessarily. Minivans are pretty much just minibuses, but much more convenient and sometimes stylish!

Trucks

If you consider yourself to be butch and more tough than your next-door neighbor, then a truck will probably be right for you! Trucks are great for moving things no matter the condition. In the United States, Ford and Chevrolet have the biggest competition amongst truck sales. Trucks are wonderful off road and later models are becoming much stronger and more fuel efficient. If you like to have that aggressive body style while driving on the road, then you will love to have a truck. Once you get custom installments you will appear to be a fierce fighting machine!

Sport Utility Vehicles

SUV’s seem to be the new minivans. They look just like a minivan but they are raised higher and have a bigger front panel and engine. SUV’s are stylish and can be custom made to resemble today’s hip-hop and urban lifestyle. SUV’s are much more luxurious now from when they were first released with the Ford Explorer. If you’re a dad with a truck, but you are going to have a baby soon, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to trade your truck in for an SUV! Remember, most brands such as Ford, Chevrolet, and Nissan, produce SUV’s that use the body style of their base truck! Just like the name, if you want utility thats sportier than a minivan, then go for an SUV!

Crossovers

More and more crossover models are being developed every year. It all started when Nissan released the Nissan Murano. Once car companies saw how unique the body style was they began to make their own versions. If you compare the Mazda CX-7 and Nissan Murano, you will see the have many similarities!

Just like the name says, crossovers are pretty much a cross between an SUV and a car. It has a wideer back.

With US mid-term elections fast approaching, three prominent Democrats announce retirement

With US mid-term elections fast approaching, three prominent Democrats announce retirement
By | Posted in Uncategorized

Thursday, January 7, 2010

With this year’s November midterm elections fast approaching, three prominent United States Democrats announced their plans for retirement from public service on Wednesday.

Powerful and influential—yet controversial for his alleged close ties to the financial sector and his handling of last year’s bailout—Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut announced that he would not be seeking a sixth term this year.

In a speech to his supporters in East Haddam, Connecticut, the sixty-five-year-old senior senator—with his family at his side—said, “I have been a Connecticut senator for thirty years. I’m very proud of the job I’ve done and the results delivered. But none of us is irreplaceable. None of us is indispensable.”

He then went on to say, “Over the past twelve months, I’ve managed four major pieces of legislation through the United States Congress, served as chair and acting chair of two major Senate committees, placing me at the center of the two most important issues of our time—health care and reform of financial services.”

In addition to highlighting some personal travails, Dodd alluded to his precarious political situation, “I lost a beloved sister in July, and in August, Ted Kennedy. I battled cancer over the summer, and in the midst of all of this, found myself in the toughest political shape of my career.”

Despite this, Dodd adamantly maintained that none of the above reasons were the causes for his retirement. He said that his reasons were more “personal,” and that his retirement would hopefully give him a much-wanted opportunity to spend more time with his family.

Senator Byron Dorgan of North Dakota announced that he would not run for re-election this year either.

“Although I still have a passion for public service and enjoy my work in the Senate, I have other interests and I have other things I would like to pursue outside of public life,” said the sixty-seven-year-old, three-term senator who said he came to this decision after discussing his future with his immediate family over Christmas.

Governor of Colorado, Bill Ritter announced that he too would not seek a second term. The fifty-three-year-old freshman governor said that although he felt his race was “absolutely winnable,” after some deep “soul searching,” he realized that he truly wanted to retire from politics nonetheless. This due to the fact that he felt his main priority should be to be a better husband to his wife as well as a better father to their four children.

When asked to comment on Senator Dodd’s retirement on behalf of the Administration, Vice President Joseph Biden said Dodd would “be long recognized as one of the most significant senators of my generation.”

He furthermore stated, “I believe the nation will miss his wisdom, wit and compassion. I count myself lucky because I know he’s not going too far and will always be a source of advice and counsel.”

Biden gave similar comments and expressed like sentiments about the retirement of his other two Democratic colleagues as well.

What would you tell your grandchildren about 2007 if they asked you about it in, let’s say, 20 year’s time? If the answer to a quiz question was 2007, what would the question be? The year that you first signed on to Facebook? The year Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse fell apart? The year author Kurt Vonnegut or mime Marcel Marceau died, both at 84?

Let’s take a look at some of the international stories of 2007. Links to the original Wikinews articles are in bold.

Finnish trio shot dead in Brazil

Finnish trio shot dead in Brazil

Monday, December 5, 2011

It has emerged that three Finnish nationals have been shot dead in Brazil. Their bodies were found near João Pessoa in a sugarcane field on Friday.

The three were from Savonlinna but two of them — a married couple — owned a second home nearby where they spent winters. The retired surgeon, 72, and his wife, a retired gynaecologist, 68, had been trying to sell the nearby property. The third victim was a nurse, 60. All were from Savonlinna.

The bodies were found in Paraiba beside a road connecting Taquara and Pitimbu. G1 has reported local police are questioning five people and treating all the deaths as homicides. The Finnish National Bureau of Investigation does not plan to get directly involved but is helping the investigation with background information.

Local cash, a Finnish credit card, a mobile phone, and jewellery had all been left after the crimes. There were blood traces inside the house. The Helsingin Sanomat suggests a financial dispute relating to the house sale may have been the motive.

The couple has spent the last five winters in Brazil, but Finnish ambassador Jari Luoto called the area in question “dangerous and restless.”

Vitamin D deficiency more common, serious, than thought

Vitamin D deficiency more common, serious, than thought
By | Posted in Uncategorized

Friday, November 2, 2007

Two scientists working at McGill University in Canada, reporting on their research and the research of other scientists, state in Scientific American that Vitamin D may have many uses in the human body besides building strong bones.

According to the scientists, Luz E. Tavera-Mendoza and John H. White, Vitamin D intake may also be beneficial in the prevention of cancer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and fighting tuberculosis, influenza and inflammatory bowel disease. The researchers say that there is an emerging “widespread consensus” among experts that a large part of the population has levels of Vitamin D in their bodies that is well below optimal concentrations for health, particularly in temperate regions, due to decreased sunlight and or less time outdoors, and during or just after the winter months. One study indicated that as many as 92% of adolescent girls in Northern Europe may have deficient levels of Vitamin D and 37% have severely deficient levels.

The problem is far worse among African-Americans than Americans with lighter skin. Almost half of African-American women may be seriously Vitamin D deficient, with presumably still another fraction deficient. Furthermore, the authors say researchers at Harvard University and elsewhere believe the FDA minimum recommended daily allowance of Vitamin D is far too low. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) ranges from 200 to 600 International Units (IU). In fact, the authors themselves take Vitamin D supplements. The first author takes 1000 IU during wintertime and the second author takes 5,000 IU in wintertime. They do caution, however, that there is a level at which Vitamin D becomes toxic.

Similar research has also been recently performed by researchers at the Queensland University of Technology who found that many elderly were likely not getting sufficient Vitamin D due in part to insufficient exposure to the sun.

US unemployment rate reaches 9.4 percent

US unemployment rate reaches 9.4 percent
By | Posted in Uncategorized

Friday, June 5, 2009

Data from the United States Labor Department says that the unemployment rate in the U.S. has reached its highest level in over 25 years, namely 9.4%.

The job loss rate, however, was only 345,000, which is the lowest monthly job loss rate since September of last year. Analysts had predicted that the loss could be as high as 525,000.

The news suggests that the US economy may be improving, as the job loss rate, which peaked at 741,000 jobs this January, has started to ease.

“Even as we see things start to stabilize and hopefully grow again, we do know that unemployment tends to lag, and so that the unemployment rate is going to be high and probably stay high for a while, precisely because that is sort of the normal pattern as we come out of recession,” said an economic adviser for the White House, Christina Romer.

Since the recession officially started in December 2007, the economy has shed over six million jobs, with 14.5 million residents now unemployed.

Czech pub food eating experiment resulted in lost weight, lower cholesterol

Czech pub food eating experiment resulted in lost weight, lower cholesterol
By | Posted in Uncategorized

Friday, March 10, 2006

On February 8, the same day Super Size Me opened in Prague, a Czech film company’s volunteer known as Karel Gustav Bozan began a 1 month diet of Czech pub food and beer in a Czech version called “Super Spek Me”; which translates loosely as “Super Flab Me”.

Zuzana Pudilova of Aerofilms described the volunteer at that time: “He is a well-built man between 45 and 50. He is almost 2 metres tall, he is not exactly thin but until now he has had quite a healthy lifestyle.”

Karel ate typical Czech pub food for an entire month with three rules: no vegetables or fresh fruit (unless they came with a meal) no exercise, and lots of beer.

Karel’s menu consisted entirely of typical Czech dishes. Obesity therapist, Iva Malkova, had warned at the beginning of the project: “People in the Czech Republic eat much more fat, especially animal fat than is recommended.” Pub meals in the Czech Republic often consist of such fatty items as goose with dumplings or sausages.

Yesterday the results were announced; Karel lost six kilos, his cholesterol went down and so did his liver enzymes, triglyceride and uric acid levels. His blood pressure did not change. At his interview with Radio Prague he said: “I feel good, great! The food was varied and there were even enough greens in the garnish. As for beer, I tried to alternate brands but I always settled it with Pilsner. I liked the experiment, it was all paid for by the distributor, Aerofilms. I would do it again, maybe they will propose it to me!”

Zuzana Pudilova of Aerofilms said: “The result of the experiment is surprising – both for us and the experts who monitored it. The medical report says our volunteer has lost weight and his blood sugar has dropped. So we have come to the conclusion that fatty Czech pub grub is not all that bad for you – which I guess wasn’t meant to be the result of the experiment at all.”
