In previous articles, I have talked about strategies for creating a strong opening to your presentation. Once you’ve grabbed your audience’s attention, it’s time to move into the body of your presentation. Here, you’ll discuss your topic in more detail. If your purpose is to inform, you’ll use the body of your presentation to describe your topic and demonstrate how it relates to your audience. If you’re goal is to persuade, you’ll use the body of the presentation to define the problem and offer your solution. In this article, we’ll discuss proven methods for developing the body of your presentation.

Remember, you have a limited amount of time in which to address your audience, therefore you must limit the number/breadth of main ideas covered in your presentation. Depending on the time allotted to you, it’s best to stick to two to five main points. You need to provide supporting evidence for each main point, so allow enough time to develop each point in adequate detail. It’s usually best to err on the conservative side - if there’s a question in your mind about how many points you can reasonably discuss, go with the lower number.

Once you’ve determined the most important issues to illuminate during your speech, the next thing you should plan is the appropriate organizational structure for your speech. Yes, you really do need to plan your presentational structure. There’s nothing more frustrating than listening to a speaker who jumps from one topic to another without explaining how the topics are related, repeats herself often, and never seems to get to the point. These are just a few the side effects of poor organizational structure. You should organize the body of our presentation in a manner that makes sense for your subject. In fact, most subjects naturally lend themselves to a particular structure.

The most common organizational patterns are:

1) Topical - use when several ideas relate to your theme, each distinct idea becomes a main point. This structure is useful for informative speeches.

2) Chronological - uses time sequence for a framework. This structure is useful for both informative and persuasive speeches, both of which require the presentation of background information

3) Spatial - organizes material according to physical space. This structure is useful for informative speeches.

4) Classification - organizes material by putting things into categories. This structure is useful for both informative and persuasive speeches.

5) Problem/Solution - organizes material by describing a problem and then presenting a solution. This structure is useful for persuasive speeches.

6) Cause/Effect - organizes material by describing the cause of a problem and then presenting the effects of the problem. This structure is useful for persuasive speeches.

As you can see, some subjects could easily be organized by a number of different patterns. Chose a structure that supports the presentation of the supporting materials you plan to share with your audience. Whatever organizational structure you chose, make sure to stick with it throughout your presentation.

There are many challenges in today’s landscaping projects: smaller yards, tighter living areas, and soil condition just to name a few. Along with challenges come advances and solutions. A smaller yard means a smaller project, unless you consider the many climbing plants or adding potted plants to a porch or deck area. There is also the possibility of extending the garden indoors with house plants. Soil conditions can be improved easily by using a nice enriched planting soil or potting soil which can be purchased at any home and garden store.

If you are fortunate enough to have a large yard then landscaping takes on a whole new meaning for you. Different landscaping choices include: plants, rocks, benches, borders or walls, ponds, waterfalls, fish or pottery.

There is a wide range of plants that can be utilized in your garden. Trees, bushes, ivy and ornamental grasses are nice for greenery. Of course there are also flowering trees, bushes and ivy to consider. Roses are a beautiful choice for different heights in a garden, for instance climbing roses are nice for trellises and rose trees or bushes can also be used for different height levels. If climbing plants are an interest of yours there is a variety to choose from. As mentioned, climbing roses are great; there is also clematis, morning glory and moon flowers to consider.

If your dream is to have a pond or waterfall as a landscaping element you can add aquatic plants and fish easily. There are ready-made kits available to make a pond an easy project. Good light exposure is important - five to six hours a day will widen the choices of available plants you can use. Be careful in the amount of plants and fish that you use, both plants and fish need enough space to thrive.

One of the most important aspects in landscaping is that you enjoy what you are doing and what you end up with. A decorative bistro set or bench would be a great addition so you can spend hours enjoying your creation.

Are you considering selling your product, or any product on line? There are many ways you can get an e-commerce store off the ground. This can be more of a dilemma than you think. This series of articles will help you decide which method is best for you.

The are three basic methods to getting started in e-commerce.

1. Using an All-In-One method (This will be discussed in part one of this series of articles)
2. Hiring a website developer and webmaster to install, modify and run your e-commerce store (Which is what we will discuss in this article)
3. Doing it yourself (This will be discussed in part three of this series of articles)

While there are many more methods for starting an e-commerce store these are the three basic solutions. You can also combine some of these to suit your needs as you feel best. For instance some people may feel that they have enough technical expertise to install, set up and run their e-commerce store but will leave the design portion to a good website developer.

In this article we will look at and discuss hiring a website developer and webmaster. A website developer is a person that will design a competent and good looking website for you for a fee. Some will obtain hosting and install the software for you as well. Usually it is at this point that they hand off the website to you and thank you for giving them your business. Some people feel perfectly comfortable with this arrangement and will go on to add their products and begin to run their online business. Many, on the other hand still are not sure enough of themselves and want someone to upload their products and run their site for them. This service is usually known as a Webmaster. A Webmaster can be the same person that developed the site or can be a different person or company. The Webmaster will handle the day to day operation of your website and can do as much or as little as your contract calls out for.

You can pay a web developer/webmaster to do everything for you. This is the probably the most expensive way to go and may or may not take a long time to get up and running. For those of you who know nothing and don’t want to learn anything about selling online then this is probably going to make your online presence look professional but will be the most expensive solution you can use. A good solution for you? It could be a good solution but be aware that all of these services are VERY expensive and your online store has to make a large enough profit eventually to cover the costs of running the store. Be sure that you take all of your costs into consideration when choosing this method. It is best that you request bids from numerous freelance developers/companies because you will get a wide range of prices. It is usually best to not pick the lowest price unless all of the bids are close. This is in part due to the fact that most good developers are probably already busy. So they don’t need to low ball a bid just to get work. It is the developer that has little to no work that usually low balls the bid in hopes they get the contract. Just remember whoever you choose is going to be building the website that you want customers to visit, shop and purchase your items from. Anything less than perfect can mean the difference between poor sales and great sales.

We’ve all known them, those individuals who remain calm in times of stress, who can sit quietly amongst chaos, and even in the most trying of times have an air of gentleness. Gentleness is a virtue that one finds more often than not in the more mature of humans…those who see life as a place where things aren’t to be treated with extreme emotions or swings of attitude, but with love and gratitude.

When I was a little boy I loved to watch the TV show “Superman” starring George Reeves. It was typical, early, black and white television (yes, I’m that old!) where a simple plot was woven into the weekly storyline demonstrating the amazing powers of Superman and his relationships with his: side-kick photographer Jimmy Olsen, love interest Lois Lane, Police Detective Trask, and bumbling editor Perry White.

This little show depicted the usual villain being hunted for a crime with Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen trying to get the “scoop” for a story in The Daily Planet newspaper. Bespectacled Clark Kent, who was Superman in disguise, was described in the opening sequence as “mild mannered”, the reporter who never got the story, always showed up late to the crime scene or when the villain had already been apprehended. Of course, as Superman, he’d already done all of the apprehending.

Kent would always wink to the camera at the end when he would take the usual ribbing from his co-workers about how he was habitually slow and would never make a good reporter. Clark was a gentle character and George Reeves played him perfectly.

The writers of Superman knew that by developing the characters of Superman and Clark Kent is such a fashion they would show how a super hero with other-worldly powers could also be very human, and humane, while displaying a gentleness that belied an individual who garnered such tremendous abilities. Just for fun, here is the opening sequence:

“Faster than a speeding bullet.
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Look! Up in the sky!
It’s a bird! Its’ a plane! It’s Superman!”

“Yes, its’ Superman, a strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal man. Superman – who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel with his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights the never ending battle for Truth, Justice and the American Way.”

Wonderful stuff!

Gentleness is a virtue that is rapidly fading from sight in today’s world. Why? When did the sense of being gentle become an attribute of only the weak?

Gentleness can be used in many arenas of life, and we get so much satisfaction from it that I’m amazed how we have dismissed it from our modern day demeanor. I mean, aren’t we gentle with babies? Puppies? Kittens? Why not each other?

TV shows like “Survivor” and “The Apprentice” only reinforces the now stereotypical scheming and conniving individual that America has come to see as heroes. Heroes? Give me a break.

By teaching our children and young adults that being devious and two-faced in our dealings with others in work or play, we create a whole generation of thousands of kids who believe that kind of behavior is normal and expected. Wow, what have we done to our country and ourselves?

Yes, I understand that in the real world of adults not everyone plays with integrity and fairness, but to teach our children to combat that behavior with more shrewdness and backstabbing only perpetuates the problem.

By giving our children, and ourselves for that matter, permission to live with gentleness in our lives, we also give them hope. Hope that life can be fair, fun, entertaining, educational and fulfilling. Obviously, we still need to teach them how others will not act with a sense of fairness or ethics and integrity, but just because others do it doesn’t mean that the fair-minded have to succumb to the depths of the common and vulgar who won’t play by the rules and push everything to extremes.

Give gentleness a try. Use it at work with someone who could use a kind word, gesture or assistance with a task. Be gentle in traffic with those who are obviously struggling. Be gentle with people who have tough jobs like the garbage collector, highway repair personnel, truck drivers and cashiers.

Remember, what you put out comes back to you, so be gentle daily and see how others will be gentle with you. Life would be so much better if we all took other’s situations into account before lashing out rudely; take a deep breath, think how you’d like to be treated if the shoes were on the foot; be a Superman or Superwoman and be gentle.

In the end, it’s just one man’s opinion, mine.

The word “cheap” means different things to different people, so the first thing you will want to do is to define what “cheap” means in your vocabulary. If it means that you want the bottom line lowest of the low prices to get cheap auto insurance, and the only thing you are concerned about is what the policy costs, then this may not be for you. But if you are looking for the best value to get the most bang for the bucks, then there are multiple places, online and offline, where you can find cheap auto insurance.

You need to understand that not all auto insurance policices are done the same way. The standard policy from one insurance carrier is significantly different than the standard policy from another insurance provider. You also need to know that whatever you get, everything comes at a cost, and sometimes if you don’t pay that cost up front, you WILL pay it later, and there is no getting around that.

For example, the reason you are carrying cheap auto insurance is because you need the coverage, either for peace of mind or to comply with your state laws, but what happens when you get into an accident? If you have a good policy, then things are taken care of with minimal effort on your part. However, with some of the cheap auto insurance policies that are available out there, getting the insurance company to pay on a claim is going to take significant time and effort on your part. If you value your time at all, perhaps think about it and attach an hourly rate to it, you will realize that after factoring in the personal time you had to spend on getting them to cover a claim, you have not saved any money at all. In fact, you paid MORE for it!

Auto insurance policy coverage is not an exact science. First of all, you have the deductible, and the amount of the deductible could be different for the various kinds of coverage. For example, you may have it set up for $500 deductible on collision, but a $1500 deductible on comprehension or fire. The deductible amount has a drastic impact on the rate that you pay, and is the amount that you will pay out of your own pocket before the insurance company pays anything. To give an example, let’s say you have $500 deductible on collision and you get into a minor fender bender, but the estimate to repair only comes to $400. The insurance company will not pay anything on that, since it is less than your deductible, and in fact, that is a case where you probably do not even want to tell your insurance company about it.

There are also differences in liability. For example, if you get into an accident where the other person sustains various severe injuries. It is not unusual these days for hospital costs to go well into six figures or more. If the ceiling on your liability insurance is only $200,000 you could be in deep sneakers in a case like this, so be sure to check out liability limitations as well.

Shopping for cheap auto insurance is not wrong, that is a sign of a frugal shopper and is a good trait. But you need to understand what the tradeoffs are. If you are going to have insurance at all, you obviously do not want to pay more than you need to, but make sure you are getting the coverage that you think you are getting.

Be sure you understand what you are getting when getting cheap auto insurance since you may not get what you think you are getting. Visit our site at http://tips-for-car-insurance.com/cheap_auto_insurance.php for more information.

Information business online has turned out as an attractive career option especially for retirees and work-at-home moms or dads. Their lifelong experience is so enriching that sharing them on the Internet can fetch very good returns. The downside to this extremely rewarding venture is lack of sufficient knowledge of how to present it online.

It’s rarely that the older generation does not have it in them to run an information business. But since the Internet is a relatively new phenomenon, often the technical skill to put up a website becomes a barrier to give effect to information business.

Then again, simply putting up a website is no solution at all. It must have a direction to grow and enough content to lead it to that direction. This last point is important because it is easy to fall prey to know-all ubiquitous website designers who will make you believe that a good-looking website is all that you need to flourish on the Internet.

Nothing can be farther from truth. A website, even if it is not good-looking, can bring good returns if you play your dices well.

What then are the main points you ought to consider as you plan to start your information business? Here are 3 of them that are most potent:

» Lack Of Direction

» Way To Proceed

» Finding The Niche

In this part, we’ll briefly look at the 3 points to prepare for to start an information business. In the second part of this article, we’ll examine 2 barriers, namely lack of technical skill and undue expectation that may stand in the way of successful information business online.

Lack Of Direction

In my locality, there are 2 shoe stores opposite to one another. The bigger one keeps stocks of all that go as footwear, and it even has a latest arrival section right in the front to attract buyers. However, since it has to keep many brands of footwear of different designs and sizes, it often happens that the store runs out of stock and cannot make sale to eager customers making them unhappy.

In sharp contrast, the smaller store across the store believes in no-frill selling and deals only in one brand, that too for adults. It seldom runs out of stock and since the brand it deals in has strong recall, the store caters to brisk selling all through the day and its customers too are a happy lot.

The moral of this real-life occurrence is that no matter how knowledgeable you are, it always makes sense to focus on one particular ability to succeed in any business, and indeed information business as well.

Way To Proceed

Clearly the way forward to structure a profitable information business is to focus on your niche ability. It is not as difficult as many first-time website owners think. Before we deal on this aspect, let us get a feel of what information business actually means.

The easiest way to understand an information business is to turn attention to your favorite newspaper, which can be any for that matter. A newspaper’s business is to sell information, and any good mainline paper will have assorted news that appeal to different readers it caters to.

There are political news, sports news, lifestyle section, health news, entertainment section, and so on. This means there are readers for each of these categories, and so we can say newspapers are made of multiple niche categories of news.

Finding The Niche

Though it sounds tricky, it may be easier than you imagine deciding your niche information business. People often feel that the subject of his or her career is the best category to start, but that may not be a good decision.

For example, you may be a HR person in your career, but if you want your information business about HR, you got to ask yourself the question: Are you passionate about it?

Suppose on the contrary you’ve been an out and out enthusiast about collecting stamps. You not only know a great deal about it, you are also a passionate collector of stamps. If that is so, then perhaps philately is the ideal niche category for your information business.

Conclusion

It would not be wrong to suggest that the more you’re prepared for your information business, the more is the possibility of your succeeding. For many people, this may be a second career and one would not like to see it languish and lacking the verve to go on.

True there’ll be reverses as you go along, which is perfectly okay with any kind of business. But if you’ve planned properly, it’ll be far less difficult to overcome them.

In the next part, we’ll deal on what could be the 2 most potent barriers for an information business.

In recent years, a lot of interest has been directed at the use of silver in footwear. Silver has long been used as an antibacterial agent going back to ancient times. Today, it is used to cure burns and stop infection.

So, how does it affect the foot? Think about your shoes for a moment. Pick them up. Hold them to your face. Take in a deep breath…

Hesitant?
Why?
Do they smell?

That smell is a primordial soup of bacteria, ammonia, and denatured proteins (i.e. dead skin, etc…). It is known as an odor triangle. Bacteria takes up residence in your shoes. It eats the proteins and when it dies, the by-product is ammonia. That’s what has been growing and dying within in the warm, moist confines of your shoes. That is what stinks and what is worse, it is touching your feet!

But there is a savior. It is silver. What silver does is strangles bacteria. Silver stops the respiration and reproduction of bacteria which kills it, stopping odor from occurring. Once the bacteria is gone, the smell goes away.

That’s a relief. So silver can get rid the stink out of your nasty shoes. But how is this helpful to anyone but your spouse? Well, what if you were diabetic? We’ve all heard the horror stories of how people with diabetes can lose their toes and feet. Well, that happens because wounds occur and cannot heal because white blood cells are stopped due to poor circulation. Bacteria, found on the socks and shoes, enters the wound and then infection sets in. Now, if you had silver in your shoes, this would go to work killing off the bacteria and would prevent most of it from entering the wound. It isn’t fool proof, but it is a great defense against diabetic foot problems.

Silver comes with an added benefit for you, too. It helps prevent blisters and hot spots from forming. A blister or hot spot forms when there is a constant rubbing going on in the shoe. This can be because the shoes don’t fit properly or you are doing something repetitive – like walking or running! Well, just like rubbing two sticks together to make fire, rubbing your foot against the inside of your shoe will cause friction which will lead to a blister. Silver has a way of transferring heat. So, if it becomes hot at one point, the entire area takes on a little part of that heat and spreads it throughout the surface of the material. Basically, this means you won’t get blisters, because the heat isn’t concentrated on one area. Your foot stays cool and you don’t get the pain.

You can find all types of silver clothing all over the internet. Silver shoes are a bit harder to find. I know of only a couple of places that provide this type of footwear. You can find the shoes at www.footwearnmore.com. Here they have orthotics and socks with silver in them, as well. The site also has a variety of other products for people with diabetes or people that are just looking for comfortable shoes. Silver has a lot of benefits and is very much a secret in the footwear or diabetic industry. In the past three years, articles are just starting to emerge showing its’ benefits for people with diabetes. The sports industry has been using silver in its’ clothing for quite awhile and will soon be a known product in medical footwear.

So you want to start an online business? Or maybe you’ve started
on but you just can’t seem to make any money. I completely understand
that. I felt the same way when I got started

Here are three things you can do (or not do) that will help you get
focused and on your way to making an online income.

Step 1) Stop jumping around from internet marketing opportunity to
the next one, and stop jumping from one technique to the next before
you’ve given something a chance to work.

This lack of focus is one of the biggest self-made obstacles there
is to making money online. Almost everyone gets caugh in this
vicious cycle of bouncing around from one money making idea to the
next, registering domain names, paying for hosting, buying information
product after information product, etc.

Instead, put together an online business marketing plan and stick with
it. Do you want to make an income with content sites and Google Adsense?
Great! Put a plan together and follow it. Ignore everything that doesn’t
have to do with making money with Adsense.

Want to create your own information products and sell them? Okay. Then
don’t by products about making money with Adsense. Got it?

Step 2) Take Action

This complements step one. You probably already have plenty of knowledge
and information that you can use to make money online. Now you need to
put that knowledge to use by creating a marketing plan and taking action
on that plan. In other words, use what you learn.

Most people are so busy bouncing from one thing to the next, they never
use the information they already have. Don’t let this be you. Stick
with purchasing information and tools that you need for your internet
marketing plan. Again, you don’t need information on making money with
Adsense if your plan involves selling on Ebay.

Step 3) Stop Fearing Failure

Failure is a good thing. No, really. Nobody has failed more than the
most successful people in the world. You learn by failure. Failure
takes you one step closer to success. Most all time home run hitters
have also struck out the most times. Every time you fail, you’ve learned
one more way NOT to run your online business. And that brings you one
step closer to success.

It’s like the sales cliche, every no brings you closer to a yes. And
it’s true. Embrace failure. Fail fast. Learn from it. Move forward
and become a success.

Create your business plan. Take action on your knowledge. Don’t fear failure.

With crime on the rise - especially those of burglary, drug-related robberies, and kidnapping - it’s wise to prepare in advance how you will protect your home and family. In the event of an attack or break-in, there are many ways to protect your family, but preparation is a must. Your family members, even those who are young, should have a plan.

Weaponry to Protect, Not to Kill

Though many families have guns hidden away for protection, guns are dangerous. Accidents can occur within the family or in the event of trying to defend the family; the burglar could take the gun from you and murder everyone in the family. Also, there’s often an emotional breakdown if someone is killed, even in self-defense. It’s a good idea to have weaponry that de-mobilizes the burglar, but doesn’t kill them. Some forms of weaponry that many are using include stun guns and pepper spray.

How Stun Guns Work

Stun guns disrupt the attacker’s body by generating a high-voltage electrical charge with low amperage. The stun gun’s charge applies much pressure but little intensity. The charge can pass through thick clothing and skin. Its charge is not intense enough to do damage to the attacker’s body unless it is applied for extended periods of time.

A stun gun can, however, confuse the attacker by sending mixed signals to his brain. He can become temporarily or partially paralyzed, confused and unbalanced. This can give you or a family member enough time to get away and contact the police.

It’s important not attempt any heroic acts; only use the stun gun as protection for your life or the lives of your family members. Then, get away as quickly as possible.

Stun Gun Voltage

Stun guns can be chosen according to voltage. They might contain from 20,000 volts all the way up to about 1,000,000 volts! They usually operate on 9-volt batteries. The batteries supply the stun gun with electricity to an electrical circuit. Components within the circuit give the voltage a boost while reducing the amperage. The stun gun has electrodes, which are usually small metal pieces with a gap in between. The gap is where a conductor must be placed. The conductor, of course, may be the arm, shoulder or hand of your attacker! There are also liquid stun guns and taser guns.

The Citizen’s Protector

For ordinary home protection, citizens often choose medium-voltage stun guns that are easy to operate and store. There are stun guns that are disguised as umbrellas, flashlights, or other objects to create the element of surprise. Military personnel, security officers, and police officials often use more complex stun guns.

Stun Guns: Where to Buy Them

You can buy stun guns at home security outlets or stores in your hometown or in a nearby larger city. Or if you’re pressed for time, there are places on the Internet that offer these products at great prices. You can shop for all sorts of security products online such as Talon stun guns, pepper sprays, alarms, and so forth. You can also save money by buying discount stun guns or even wholesale stun guns from an online store.

Before making a purchase, check out the company to be sure it is a reputable business. Also, check with your state and city laws to be sure the type of stun gun you are buying is legal in your area.

Don’t leave your family unprotected. Although they can’t be used in every situation, stun guns can give added security in these uncertain days!
