Actual for You - Hard Work Is Bad Management - Especially in Love
In my line of work, I find myself constantly producing PowerPoint presentations. Sometimes these are just individual slides (like a diagram or case study), sometimes they are templates, and sometimes they are whole, individual presentations. Most of my PowerPoint work is completed at my day job where I am an in-house designer, but my freelancing alter ego occasionally comes across a client needing some presentational pick-up. Over the years, I have built and edited hundreds of PowerPoint files.I know a lot of people think PowerPoint is the devil incarnate, but in the corporate world, it is an ubiquitous evil. To shake some of the negative stereotypes, I apply traditional design principals to make my company and clients look better than the competition.We go to 120 trade shows a year, and we present at every single one. We also use Macromedia's Breeze for hundreds of online demos. Our PowerPoint is often the first thing a potential customer will see from us, so it is critical (and easy) to make a good impression before they even receive a brochure.PowerPoint is used by nearly sales guy on the planet, with a whole industry of accessories built around the presentation guru / road warrior concept. It is employed for downloadable or live web demos, and it is even used (or abused, depending on your point of view) to pass along copy, concepts and notes between internal team members. With this volume of use, PowerPoi

In the year 2002, the state of Texas, didn’t issue social security numbers, birth, or death certificates to parents of stillborn babies. On October 25 2002, my third daughter was stillborn In TX.The realization I wouldn’t be given any official documents left me numb. I reasoned the rest of the world considered my child’s life and death were insignificant. My nine long months of pregnancy, the pain of labor, and delivery was all in vain and the baby had no identity.About a month after her funeral, I found an internet company that created “unofficial certificates of life” for stillborn babies. I immediately gave them my baby’s information- her DOB, weight, time of birth, length, hospital name, and placed the order.A week or so passed, and I received a package in the mail with the company’s name imprinted on the front.I tore into the package and pulled out a “Certificate of Life” with my baby’s information written in beautiful calligraphy.At last, something to acknowledge her existence. The certificate looked almost identical to my other two daughter’s birth certificates.At the time, I was a work- at- home mom with a lot of free time on my hands (at least while my older girls were in school), so I decided to use my free time learning to write in calligraphy (inspired by the beautiful handwriting on the certificate).Learning something new was therapeutic during this grieving period,

Silvia is 20kg overweight. It started after she had her first baby, those few kg that wouldn’t go away. Now in her early 40’s it is sticking like chewing gum.

He blames an economic downturn for taking the air out of the balloon, but now, Dane is trying to rebuild the old fortune he lost. He’s investing, but something that he once had is missing. People are not rushing to buy from him anymore. What is it?

Can you really afford a house? If so, how much house can you afford? To determine this answer will take serious financial planning, and the best time to start is at least six months before buying the home.Although buying a new home may seem like an American Dream or romantic venture, the reality is that the house you can afford depends on your current income and debt obligations. You must be able to pay your mortgage, satisfy all your current debt, and still have money left over each month to put in the bank. When you consider all these issues, you may find you will actually be shopping for a lower-priced house than the anticipated dream home.If after careful financial evaluation, you realize you cannot afford the house of your dreams, don’t feel tempted to count on expected annual raises, thinking that eventually you’ll be able to afford the higher payments. Most raises are generally 4% to 7%. In bad times, you won’t get a raise, while inflation overtakes you. In the worse case scenario, you may get laid off and you won’t be able to afford your monthly bills. If you don’t have a budget that includes a savings account worked out on a spreadsheet, you are faced with a serious debt problem waiting to happen. If you cannot recite from memory all the creditors you owe and how much you owe them, you have a credit problem.MONTHLY BUDGET SHEETAt the top of your planning list, you

When selling a home, it is important to know when to go from FSBO to using a Realtor. The biggest is when you want to sell your house that’s not selling fast enough.FSBO or for sale by owner can be a great way to sell your home if you have the time and resources to dedicate to the process. However, most of us do not have a great deal of time to sell a home. It also takes money and resources to advertise a home. In order to successfully sell a home, you need both of these covered.If you have not had a great deal of experience in selling homes, you might find that selling your house can be risky and costly. Statistically speaking, the average home that is offered FSBO usually sells to family or friends. There are a percentage of homes that sell outside of family and friends due to hard work and diligence. However that is usually what it takes to sell a home.When you are calculating the cost of a home that does not sell in a timely manner, you will see that with mortgage payments, advertising, utilities, and upkeep tend to cost more than the commission a professional would receive. The cost of a Realtor is usually covered in the sale price of the home. Most homes sold by Realtors will sell for roughly $12,000 more.You will also want to look at the time frame you want to sell your home in. If you have the right tools and connections you will be able to sell your house. Also, if you have enough time for the
