Summer 2014: One of Tragedy

Summer is traditionally the time of the BBQ and get togethers at garden parties. Lazy Sunday afternoon strolls by the river or canal and a pub lunch. A day out at the beach. Holidaymakers jetting out to different lands or eager campers and caravaners packing their cars for a ramble nearer to home or on the continent. However, Summer 2014 will be remembered for very different reasons. It is one of the bloodiest summers in the world’s history. Daily we turn on the TV to the worsening of crisises in three parts of the world: Ukraine, Gaza and Iraq.

As the Prime Minister cuts his Summer holiday short to come home to chair meetings of COBRA, he will determining Britain’s response to violence breaking out around the globe and calling on the language services for assistance. Language services are of utmost importance in diplomacy. The English language must be translated in a way that our message is clear and understood. It must not incite or inflame the fires of violence and likewise must make the views of Britain crystal clear. Despite the relative size of the UK to other European Countries, it is still looked upon as a world super power. Around the globe one of the most requested languages for which important documents, treaties and agreements are to be translated into: is the English language. Language services translate these important papers which could determine the very tone of a peace settlement or change the course of the conflict.

As the violence esculates in Iraq and journalists are beheaded in acts of revenge for the US airstrikes, the Prime Minister’s team at COBRA with undoubtedly include a specialist team of language services’ advisors. Communication must be clear and precise. In such a diplomatic crisis there is no room for error.

We only need to turn our attention to the 1980s, to see how words misinterpreted during those dark years of the Cold War, can drive events to the point of total and utter destruction. During 10 days in November 1983, the United States and the Soviet Union nearly started a nuclear war. Newly declassified documents from the CIA, NSA, KGB, and senior officials in both countries reveal just how close we came to mutually assured destruction — over a military exercise. According to a important document obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by National Security Archives researcher Nate Jones, Soviet General Secretary Yuri Adroprov warned U.S. ambassador Averell Harriman six months before the crisis that both countries “may be moving toward a red line” in which a miscalculation could spark a nuclear war. Diplomatic leaders have learned from such eventualities and now language services are a key aspect of any foreign office advisory team.

After Britain’s involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Prime Minister is understandably reluctant to risk the lives of more British serviceman. Indeed sending in the armed forces could be seen as a threat and further inciting violence. The people of the United Kingdom watch with bated breath to see how he will proceed. As history has shown us: one just hopes he has a good team of language service advisors.

 

 

Using Banners to Promote Your Business

Using banners to promote your business is a time tested way of creating awareness and bringing in new customers. If used wisely, banners can represent a huge return of investment that continues to pay dividends for years into the future.

Types of Banners to Consider

The types of banners and what you have on them is only limited by your own imagination and creativity. While your options are endless, there are a few banner types that prove to be successful over and over again. The most popular banners are:

Opening Soon – An ‘opening soon’ banner is excellent for letting potential customers know there’s a new business in town. By publicising that your business will be opening soon, you will begin building demand and awareness within the public long before you open your doors.

Sales  – If you are having a sale, then you’ll want to promote it the best you can. By telling people items will be reduced by e.g ‘Up to 50% off’, you can create buzz and draw in people who love a good sale, and who doesn’t like a sale?

New Product or Service – If you have just launched a new product or service, then you want people to know about it. A prominently placed banner can entice people to come in and purchases your new offering.

Closing Down Sale – People love closing down sales because they believe they can get great bargains. By advertising that you are closing down, you will bring in more people and ensure you sell as much stock as possible before closing down.

New Opening Hours – If you are changing your opening hours, then you’ll want to inform your customers that you are now open later or shut earlier.

Trade Shows – If working a trade show, you want to create as much attention around your stall as possible, a banner can create awareness and deliver a quick overview of what you do as a business.

Tips For Your Banners

There are a number of best practices you’ll want to stick to when creating your banner, these include:

  • Make it large enough to stand out
  • Use easy to read fonts
  • Use contrasting colours to make important information stand out
  • Fasten down your banner with sturdy materials, cable ties or screws work best.
  • Make sure your banners are clean at all time as dirty banners can harm the image of your business
  • Have a professional designer put together your design; doing it yourself can look cheap and unprofessional.

Areas Where Banners Can be Most Effective

Banners can be an effective advertising tool both on site and off site. The most common place for banners on site include above your storefront, in the car park and in the shop itself.

If you are wanting to create awareness in places away from your business, then placing banners on the road side, in sporting fields and in areas where there is high foot traffic can all be extremely effective.

 

 

Why It Is Good for a Mom to Work from Home

I discovered already some time ago that working from home is one of the best ways to earn a living and at the same time spend time with my family. I am going to give you a few reasons why working from home is such a good idea if you happen to be a wife and mother just like me.

1. Probably the most important reason to work from home is that you get to spend time with your children. Personally, to me it is the most important reason to work from home. If your husband works from home as well, you will additionally get to spend a lot of time with him, which can help you strengthen your relationship with him. When it comes to your children, by working from home you will always be there for them. If they are very small, you will have a chance to witness their first steps, their first words, and many other “first” things. If they are older and already go to school, you will be there for them every time they get back from school. You will be able to lend them an ear and listen to everything that happened to them on that particular day.

2. When your kids are still small, working from home will allow you to save money on childcare. The costs of childcare can add up, especially if you need to hire somebody to watch your kids in your home when you are not there. I definitely prefer to keep an eye on my children myself rather than have somebody come to my house and do it for me. If you are anything like me, you will do everything so that you can work from home and watch your kids all the time.

3. Working from home is all about waking up in the morning, pouring yourself a cup of coffee and sitting in front of your computer to start another exciting day. There is no need to commute anywhere, which can be a pain especially in colder weather or when it rains. Saving time and money on commuting to work is just another reason to work from home. You will no longer have to sit there in traffic and commuting.

I hope that I gave you enough reasons to convince you that if you are a mother and need to make some money on the side in addition to your husband’s salary, working from home is a splendid idea you will never regret.

UHMW is also quieter than aluminum, and the full skid also extends protection over the length of the gas tank.

Two Simple & Easy Online Jobs Anyone Can Start

There are many people who search and try to earn money from online jobs but many of them are not able to earn anything even after trying for months. One of the main reason for failure in online job is misguidance.

One of the biggest problem they face is registration charges demanded by online jobs sites and once they pay their hard earned money, they find it extremely difficult to use the techniques shown by these sites. When they ask for support and guidance there is no reply from these online jobs sites.

Then again in future if they find any genuine training program for internet job, it becomes difficult for them to trust on such program. They don’t want to invest anything again.

So if you have already tried a lot and still not able to earn anything, then you don’t need to worry as I am going to provide you the details of 2 best online jobs where if you go and signup (don’t worry, all free) then you can start earning from day 1 and I am pretty sure about it.

So here we go to understand these online jobs-

Two Best & Trusted Online Jobs

Although there are number of online jobs but if this is your first time to start an online work or if you have failed in last online opportunity then these 2 are the recommended online jobs.

One of the most important thing about these online jobs is that, both of these online jobs are very simple, easy and absolutely free. Anyone with basic knowledge of English & internet can operate and start.

So read one be one-

Online Survey Jobs

Online survey is one of best online jobs for you. If you spend around 2 hours daily completing online surveys, then you can definitely earn $300-$500 per month. If you work more, then you can earn much more then this.

So what is online surveys?

Online survey is nothing but a way for a company to grow their business. Every company wants to create a product, accepted by everyone. So they want to take opinion of each and every people about what they want in their product.

By taking the answer from different different people, either they design a common product or create different brands for different people.

This way, they find better sales and growth in their business. They take the help of popular survey sites for taking the online surveys.

They prepare different questions related to their product and send to the online survey sites and they in turn, distributes these survey to their members.

But the members (like you & me) don’t do it free. As it takes time around 5 minutes to 30 minutes for each survey, these survey sites pay these members for their time.

Members get paid around $2 to $10 for completing each and every survey.

Many of the people do it part time and for many of them its a full tie job. They earn their bread and butter from this online job only.

You too can signup with these survey sites and earn good money as per your convenience. But there are hundreds of sites and not all of them are trusted, so join them carefully after reading the review on review sites or checking on Google.

2. Get Paid to Click

This is another most famous online job you can start. The work is simple here but the earning is also not that good. But there are ways, you can use to grow your earning fast. So check more here about this internet opportunity-

What is the concept?

Get paid to click is also known as PTC concept. There are number of PTC sites where thousands of advertisers advertise and spend lots of money. You need to join on such sites and view the ads of these advertisers.

There is no need to purchase anything from these advertisers. They just want to create the brand awareness of their products. You need to click on these ads and then view them for few seconds.

For each and every ad you click and view  for some specified time, you will get paid some commission.

How much you can earn from viewing the ads?

If you join 10 sites and view all ads from all the sites then you can’t make even more than $100. And there is no meaning for joining more than 10 sites.

So how can you earn more money?

Its very simple to earn better money from PTC online job. You need to refer more and more people to these PTC sites. More people you refer, more money you can make.

There are number of best PTC sites where you can signup. Some of them are ClixSense, NeoBux, Probux, BuxP etc.

Once you join, you will get a referral link which you can send to your friend, relatives and other list so that when they join, you can earn from each and every referral when they view the ads.

There are many people who are making more than $5000 from Clixsense and Neobux every month just because of referring large number of people.

So these are 2 most simple but powerful online jobs. If you take these internet jobs seriously then you can make at least $500-$600 by working 2-3 hours a day.

 

Event Security

I like to attend all sort of events: corporate events, family events, private events, they all count and allow me to unwind when I need it. They are also a nice diversity in my life as they allow me to do something completely different once in a while.

I have to admit that concerts are probably my favorite type of events I like to attend. I like to be able to arrive at the destination of a concert and see thousands of people like me excited about a musical performance. I have been to many concerts in my life: I saw Rolling Stones, Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, Sting, the list goes on and on, and I am still looking forward to attending more of them even though right now I might have less time on my hands due to various family-related commitments.

One thing that is of utmost importance during any event is security. For this reason, event security services are an absolute must for any event. I don’t know about you, but when I know that security is close to me during an event, I have a lot bigger peace of mind knowing that everything is going to be OK and that there is not going to be any trouble.

Find an Accountant to Meet Your Financial Needs

Whether you are looking for someone to consult with on a regular basis or just need someone to do your taxes at the end of the year, you have a lot of options when it comes to who you work with.
