Digital cameras are very similar to traditional cameras,
although there is one crucial difference - digital cameras don’t
use film! Instead, they record photos and video to a memory chip
or card. Most are able to record short video clips (usually
anywhere from 15 seconds up to 5 minutes and more), because
video is nothing more than a fast transition of photos. At this
point, you might be wondering how you get the photos out of the
digital camera.

Most digital cameras come with a software interface that lets
you decide how high quality the pictures should be and different
settings depending on the light and environment. Through this
interface, you can also delete photos and do basic photo and
video editing. Most digital cameras come with a cable that
connects directly to your computer, usually via USB. The camera
instantly transfers the photos to a program installed on your
computer. Once the photos are stored on your computer, you can
print them, edit them, or e-mail them. If you want to print them
the traditional way, you can take the memory card to a photo
developer and they can print the images from the card as if you
were giving them your film. Photo developers can also put your
photos on a CD that includes a multimedia showcase of your
photoset.

When shopping for a digital camera, the main specification you
should be looking at are Megapixels. Computers store images
electronically as a large combination of dots. When you have a
good image on your screen or printed on paper, you often can’t
see the dots because they’re packed very closely together, but
they’re still there. Just as printed images are measured by dots
per inch on paper, electronic images are measured by pixels
(dots on your computer screen). A megapixel is defined as one
million pixels. Modern cameras come with a resolution of 1-3
megapixels. If you are taking photos that don’t need to be
printed out in high-quality resolution, 2 megapixels should be
sufficient. Also consider the amount of memory the camera has.
Most digital cameras have built-in memory and can accommodate
external cards to store more photos. These cards are smaller
than matchboxes and can store anywhere from 16MB to 1GB of data.

Cheap car loans as the name signifies are low interest rate loans availed for the purpose of purchasing cars. You always dreamt of buying a car. But, scarcity of finances has always acted as a deterrent for you in owning your dream car. Don’t get discouraged as cheap car loans are specially planned to realise your dreams in a cost effective manner.

Cheap car loans are used to fund for either a brand new car or for a used car. Generally cheap car loans are of two types: secured and unsecured cheap car loans. If you can pledge collateral, you can avail secured cheap car loans at low rate of interest, small monthly installments, flexible repayment schemes, etc. Unsecured cheap car loans on the other hand, don’t require collateral. Lenders offer such loans at higher interest rate as against secured loans. But, with ruthless competition in the lending market, consumers can get unsecured cheap car loans at attractive interest rate.

Cheap car loans are not only available for people with good credit record but it is can also be availed by people having bad credit history. A bad credit record means County Court Judgments (CCJs), defaults in repayment, arrears, etc. against your name.

You should always keep in mind that purchasing a car takes a good amount of money. So, shop around in the lending market for an economical loan deal. You can realise your dream of buying a new car for yourself. So, zoom around in a brand new car.

The difference between a pipe dream and a great idea is persistence. Here are few tips to get started on your Home Business right now and get on the path to your ultimate goal, beat procrastination and hours of indecision: (1) Get leverage on yourself - tell enough people what your goal is (2) Understand your standard excuses and don’t listen to them. (3) Break the goal into bite size chunks and reward yourself on the journey (4) Take a fork in the road and simply get started. This is according according to leading Business Coach Brad Tonini who has just released his latest book “Make It Happen Now!” Brad says that procrastination is paralyzing to peak performance, and it comes from these key reasons: (1) The task is just plain overwhelming (2) You may have a fear of failure or fear of success (3) You seek perfection and so never get started (4) You fear a lack of control (5) You haven’t associated sufficient pleasure or pain to the task to get you moving. It is really remarkable how we can talk ourselves right out of things, we create self-doubt in our mind and then we then translate this to negative self talk. The more we make decisive decisions and get started on a new path or one that we have desired, we begin to feel empowered, excited or enthused about making the goal come to fruition.

But the opposite of procrastination is commitment. According to the esteemed James Womack, commitment unlocks the doors to imagination, allows vision, and gives us the “right stuff” to turn our dreams into reality. Mack R. Douglas was quoted as saying “The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it”. In that same vein, Pearl Buck said, ” don’t wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has to get down to work”. And Albert Einstein said, “Three rules of work (1) out of clutter, find simplicity, (2) from discord, find harmony and (3) in the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity”. Remember to always be persistent, that is truly a key. Just do the work everyday and don’t let up. And when you need help, ask for it. Then Keep the momentum going! Don’t give up or take anything personally. And speaking of commitment, to be successful in a Home Business, you have to be nothing less than a fanatic who is cmpletely committed to making your Home Business not only a successful venture, but a profound commitment for life. You will only fail if you quit. Remember, this is all about independence from the drudgery of working for someone else your entire life. Work for yourself! Your health may depend on it.

Listen to the salutation to the dawn, Look to this day for it is
life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the
verities and realities of our existence. ,

The bliss of growth, the splendor of beauty, For yesterday is
but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision, But today well lived
makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a
vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day. Such is the
salutation to the dawn. ~Kalidisa, Sanskrit text

It is Monday morning, for many the start of a new work week.
Take the time this Monday, and for the next few Mondays, to keep
a record of how many “I hate Monday” type statements you hear.

How do you feel about Monday?

Reflect for a moment. Do that many “bad” things really happen on
Monday? I would be willing to bet your answer is “No”. If your
answer happens to be “Yes”, then you need to start looking at
your attitude and expectations. Life has a funny way of living
up or down to our expectations. No matter the date or day of the
week the calendar says it is, start each day expecting it to be
your greatest day ever.

Yesterday, Tomorrow and Today in Perspective

It is very important to understand the relationship between
yesterday, tomorrow and today.

Yesterday

We cannot go back in time and change or redo yesterday, but here
are three things you can do with your past; First, reflect on
your past successes. Relive them with as much clarity and
emotion as you can. Use these memories to build your
self-confidence, self-esteem and to create an “I Can” attitude.
Second, learn from your past mistakes and failures. Take full
responsibility for them, and be grateful for them. Yes, I said
to be grateful for your failures. You cannot know which way up
is, unless you know which way is down is. Third, release and let
go all negative emotional baggage from your past. This is the
toughest of the three to do, and the most important to work on.
Carrying this weight will, at the very least, slow you down, and
it can stop you completely.

Tomorrow

The future is where all your dreams, hopes and goals live. Your
potential lies ahead of you, not behind you. Tomorrow you have a
clean slate, an unblemished record, a brand new beginning. Take
care when building your vision of the future, it is where you
will spend the rest of your life. Most importantly, by creating
your vision of tomorrow, by having dreams and goals to reach
for, you give meaning and purpose to today.

Today

Today is the most important day of your life! Yesterday is gone.
By the time tomorrow arrives it will be today. Today you are
creating yesterday’s memories. Today you are laying the
foundation for tomorrow.

Everything you do, you do now. Everything else is either
something you did do, or something you are going to do.
Everything you do either takes you closer to your dreams and
goals or it moves you away from them. Every day counts.

Make a habit of taking positive daily actions. Take steps daily
that will move you closer to your dreams and goals. Plan your
day based on your principles, values and what matters most to
you, and then work your plan. Don’t sit by and wait to “have” a
great day, take action to “make” it a great day. Take care of
today. If you do this, yesterday and tomorrow will take care of
themselves.

Make Every Day a Great Day

(Honest Title) Why Men Don’t Like Chick Flicks
(For those politically minded) Why Men Don’t Like
Female Centric Films
(For those with a penchant for subtlety) Why Men Don’t
like Baby Bird Films
A Case Study : ‘Notting Hill’
— Martin C. Winer –

1) Plot inconsistencies.
The plot in all female centric movies seems to center around prolonging a
certain romantic uncertainty. This is usually done at the expense of logic.
There are two good examples of this in Notting Hill:
i)
William (Hugh Grant) goes out in the morning to find a frenzy of Paparazzi
outside his door. He knows this will upset his actress girlfriend Anna
(Julia Roberts) but only mentions “don’t ask” when she asks him what’s going
on outside. He lets her walk outside and be confronted by the same
Paparazzi. This, of course, upsets Anna who wrongly accuses him of
summoning the Paparazzi and causes a ‘break up’. This, in turn, provides
Hugh Grant a grand opportunity to apologize (despite his innocence), setting
the female audience swooning and the male audience hurling.
ii)
William goes on a movie set where Anna is being filmed where she greets
him warmly and intimates that she’d consider getting back together.
Unfortunately, she’s just in the middle of a shoot so she walks off to film
a scene and William is provided with a headset to hear what is going on
unbeknownst to Anna. While casually preparing for the scene, a fellow actor
asks Anna: “Who was that rather difficult chap (referring to Grant) you were
talking to on the way up?” Anna replies: “Oh… no one… no one. Just
some… guy from the past. I don’t know what he’s doing here. Bit of an
awkward situation.” Grant reacts negatively and leaves.
When Grant asks her later as to why she would say such a thing, she
dismisses it as: “You expect me to tell the truth about my life to the most
indiscreet man in England?” This is an example of terrible writing where
the writers dig themselves out of a whole by floating to the top in syrup.
Why didn’t she just answer the fellow actor with “He’s a friend” and leave
it at that? Why does Grant have to put up with such behaviour and accept
such lame excuses? Of course, in tradition with all Grant films, he accepts
the explanation and leads up to:
2) The grand apology.
It seems a new trend in the effeminized America to have the leading male
prancing around apologizing. In every Grant movie there is a huge apology
where he apologizes to some horribly behaved woman to get her love.
Watching Grant wince his eyes and beg forgiveness having committed no wrong,
aside from his selection in screenplays, is like fingernails on the
chalkboard for the male audience. Ross (from Friends) and Grant (in every
movie) always apologize for no apparent reason, and in fact, often apologize
for not apologizing. Perhaps the only real apology in such films should be
an on screen cameo by the screenplay writers apologizing for overly syrupy
content.
Looking at the movie script: http://www.juliaroberts.de/script2.htm, Men
apologize some 23 times compared to 8 times for their female counterparts.
The male lead Grant apologizes some 12 times, compared to Julia Roberts
apologizing a mere 3 times. Somewhere around the 10th apology, women in the
audience are becoming enraptured while their male counterparts are wondering
when the next episode in the Star Wars saga will premier so they can watch a
movie where men can proudly wield their light sabers and offer no apology in
so doing.

Escrow - The Insurance for Angels By William Cate

Anyone who invests in any speculative venture that lacks a
business plan will lose his money. After carefully reading the
company’s business plan, anyone who doesn’t demand structural
changes in the offer will probably lose all of his money. One of
the essential structural changes in the business plan should be
that the investor’s money is escrowed until the company raises
the needed funds.

One Investor To The Next

Many startup company promoters live from one investor to the
next. In essence the first investor pays the costs of finding
the second investor and so on. At no time is it possible to
implement the company’s business plan because the company will
never have the money to fund it. Let’s assume that the business
plan requires $2 million to fund. The promoter can only find two
investors a year to risk money in the venture. Without the
escrow clause, the promoter can live off the $200,000/year
employed finding the needed two investors for the following
year. In 10 years, the promoter has raised the two million
dollars and may have $10,000 in the bank for the project. Of
course, the promoter has lived well on the investors’ money for
the decade, but the investors have nothing for their money.
Escrowing your risk capital ensures that the promoter isn’t
living off of it. Also, it tends to encourage the promoter to
find the needed investors quickly, since he or she can’t access
the money without raising all the needed funds.

A Simple Escrow Agreement

This type of escrow agreement is simple. Your money and that of
other investors can’t be released until the Escrow Account has
the specified funding required by the company’s business plan.
The Escrow Agreement has a fixed date upon which the Escrow will
end. It’s usually a year or two after the Escrow account is
setup. On that date, you and any other investors will get your
principle refunded in full if the account hasn’t reached its
funding goal.

Total Loss Protection

There is a second escrow agreement that will protect you against
a total loss of your risk capital should the company’s business
plan start to falter. The basic claim in any well-written
business plan is that the company will do this and something
positive will result. Then, the company will do the next thing
and something positive will result. There should be at least
five of these phased events outlined in a good business plan.

A wise investment group uses an Escrow Agreement to tie their
funding of the company to the projected positive results in the
company’s business plan. The business plan states that it will
take X dollars to achieve the results projected in Phase 1 of
the business plan. Once the money is raised, the escrow agent
releases to the company the funds required to achieve Phase 1.
Assuming Phase 1 results are as expected, the Escrow Agent
releases the money for Phase 2 and so on until the money is
expended and the Startup Company becomes operational. If the
promoter fails to achieve any phase, the investors can either
terminate the funding agreement or decide to go forward. This
escrow formula gives the investors insurance against a potential
total loss of their risk capital.

Choose Your Escrow Agent Carefully

Who should be your Escrow Agent? Usually licensed attorneys and
Certified Public Accountants are your most cost-effective
solutions. Be certain that the Escrow Agent has Errors &
Omission Insurance. It protects you against an Escrow Agent
mistake. Banks also usually offer escrow services, but at rates
that are often prohibitive.

If you give your money away without insurance, don’t expect to
get any of it returned to you.
