Protection Through The Home Security Alarm System

In this increasingly chaotic world, the protection of your home from burglary and invasion seems to be of mounting concern among homeowners. To keep pace with this hyper-vigilance, home security measures are becoming more and more comprehensive; we?ve now moved on to wireless systems that allow us to streamline our security effortlessly. But nothing has maintained its popularity in the protection of our homes like the home security alarm system.

Installing a home security alarm system begins with the design of the appropriate plan for your particular situation. Most often, the implementation of such an alarm system is in response to the perceived threat of home invasion. But there are also other needs that are met through the home security alarm system such as the detection of smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide. Today?s systems are able to streamline the protection of doors and windows and fire/smoke/carbon monoxide detection. But that?s not all.

Today?s home security system can also implement a motion detector component that can keep tabs on the interior and exterior of your home. Security lights can also be included in this set-up so that you can coordinate the efforts of interior and exterior lighting throughout your property.

Begin your design of your personalized home security alarm system by doing your research. There are home security companies that will install your system for you. Or you can try installing your home security alarm system yourself. Either way it?s best to know what you?re in for ahead of time. Take a personal assessment of your home to decide what areas are of paramount concern and how you would like to protect them.

The Internet can be a wonderful resource for researching the most up-to-date security measures available on the market today. You can also learn what you should expect to pay for your home security alarm system based on market prices.

Your home security alarm system can bring you more than just safety in your home; it can bring you peace of mind. And that, more than anything, is priceless.

Chrysler Crossfire - Brakes and Brake Assist System

The power-assisted braking system provided in the Chrysler Crossfire is befitting to the performance level of the Chrysler. Undoubtedly, brakes and brake assistant system are important factor of a racing car like Crossfire. The brakes and brake assist system in the Chrysler Crossfire is appropriate for a racing car and also has set yardstick for others in the motor industry.

Following are some of the salient features of brake assist system used in the Chrysler Crossfire. The brake system of the crossfire has large diameter ventilated front discs and solid rear discs. The system is backed up by the highly sophisticated electronic wizards of Brake Assist System and ANS anti-lock.

The front brakes of crossfire have ventilated discs of 300 X 28 mm measure with single piston floating calipers. The rear brake discs of crossfire measures 278 X 9mm. These rear discs have opposed-piston calipers. When any set of front pads becomes worn the wear sensors fitted in the system illuminate dashboard warning light. The power assistance is provided through tandem master cylinder and single=diaphragm vacuum booster.

The Chrysler Crossfire has state of the art ABS consisting of four-channel, four wheel anti-lock of standard quality. This brake system is considered most suiting for the crossfire.

When a driver applies heavy brakes, specifically on slippery surface, the system gets activated and applies and releases the brakes at high rate. The optimum brake applies and release rate is 30 times per second. Despite the higher rate of brake applying and release the system prevents wheel lock up and helps the driver in retaining steering control.

The Brake Assist System fitted in the Chrysler Crossfire anticipates the emergency application of brake by the driver and immediately releases optimum available power boost to help the driver gain control over the car without loosing steering control. The driver may have usual human tendency of not braking hard or not breaking soon enough. The Brake Assist System overcomes these problems.

Like other features of the Chrysler Crossfire, its brakes and brake assist system is reliable. The system is of high standard quality technology and produces excellent performance even in adverse conditions.

Scott Byers is the owner of My Chrysler Crossfire, a complete chrysler crossfire resource with articles on the car, and all of it's features.

Achieving Goals Through Management Systems

Many leaders understand the importance of achieving goals, but have little skill at motivating their subordinates to meet these goals. Often leaders in this position end up blaming the people they lead. Most often the fault lies with the leaders in ability to focus effort toward a specific result.

A thriving leader finds ways to focus effort toward their desired results. For example, the factory manager knows that they want to lower the number of accidents, but having fewer accidents is a fairly abstract concept. However the number of days since the last accident is a very concrete idea that is easy for everyone to grasp. It helps measure the concept of having fewer accidents in a way that is easy to comprehend and measurable. Many factories have found they can lower the number of accidents simply by making people cognizant of how well they are doing toward achieving the goal.

The difficulty is to find proper thing to measure. There was an IT department where the manager decided to measure the number of trouble tickets they closed each week. This metric was used as part of the employees? performance review. However, if everything was running just fine with no problems, there were no trouble tickets to close.

The employees began shutting down networking equipment for 10 minutes at a time, so users would open a bunch of tickets. Then they would turn the equipment back on and close all of the tickets. This increased the metric used for their review.

If an IT department is functioning well, the number of problems from system outages will be very low. The manager basically created problems because problems were what was being measured.

Making the metrics visible keeps people focused on the desired results. A skilled leader can identify the measurements of success and come up with innovative ways to make those metrics visible and easy to understand.

Inspiring Innovation and Creativity through Business Systems

Ok, I admit: "I am a big fan of systems, It's all about Systems." It could just be the Mechanical Engineer and Business Analyst coming out in me, but it goes much deeper than that. It is definitely grounded in my recent experiences with systems.

We are surrounded by systems, and our lives revolve around them and rely on them working infallibly. The cars (or motorbikes) we drive, the computers we use and the human bodies we live in, are all brilliantly refined and intricate systems that we use everyday. We expect them to work predictably and consistently every time we use them.

Imagine your business running as smoothly and consistently as the other systems that you rely on in your life! Imagine people having a consistently outstanding and exceptional experience, each and every time they come into contact with your Business.

Surely it would result in improvements to your bottom line, not to mention the impact that it would have on your life, and that of your employees, suppliers, customers, lenders and investors.

Every process in your business, even creative processes, have a specific pattern that can be observed, improved on then developed into a business system. You may view systems as having the potential to stifle the creativity of your people, but the effect of using a well developed system is quite the opposite (especially for creative processes).

Well developed Business Systems have the effect

of inspiring Innovation Creativity

and Passion.

Is America Being Overthrown By Our Own Political System?

In our system of government the laws of checks and balances over the executive branch (Presidency), legislative (Congress) and judicial system (Supreme Court) maintains the balance of power between these three separate but equal branches of government. But what can happen when one political party, is majority in all three branches? That is, a republican president, a republican house, a republican senate and a Supreme Court composed of republican appointed judges? I am not talking about what is “supposed to happen” rather, what “really happens”, you know, behind closed doors? I don’t have an answer but I have a few observations of what concentrated power in the hands of the few might look like.

1. Massive tax breaks and financial advantage to the rich and filthy rich individual and corporate campaign contributors, including corporate lobbyists.

2. Deregulation of industries, which benefit corporate powers that may be benefiting from unfair trade agreements, outsourcing of jobs, illegal immigration and price gouging of Americans (like oil companies).

3. Implementation of fund-raising systems designed to raise large amounts of capital quickly to support the cost of advertising to bash and smash political opponents and defeat them at the polls.

4. Developing highly effective communication systems and a “mantra” that effectively brainwashes Americans into voting favorably because of induced fear or "terror" of imminent repercussions.

5. Establish political platforms (democrats v. republicans) with ideologies that disenfranchises the majority of Americans from voting because of their inability to adopt either side of the political philosophy (e.g. abortion, gay rights, taxes, stem cell research, immigration, war, terror, religion, etc.)

6. Make it extremely difficult for any other political party to come to power besides the two already in place.

7. Implementation of electronic voting systems that can be manipulated to determine favorable outcomes for the party in power without any audit trail so common people could not simply or accurately count those votes.

8. Convince people their vote doesn’t really matter so a growing majority will stay home and not become involved in politics.

9. Override the popular vote with the Electoral College or Supreme Court ruling to further reinforce the fact that people’s votes don’t really matter.

10. Erode the middle class and create more poor people, keep the already poor poorer and help the rich get wealthier. Fool the poor people working for low wages into a false sense of wealth by ownership of cheap consumer electronics and goods, keeping true wealth in the hands of the elite who can continue to exploit the poor. Break the backs of labor unions.

11. Control the electronic media and it’s reporters by controlling FCC licensing to create state-generated radio and TV propaganda that appears as “news” when in reality, it is predetermined “press releases” by those in power.

It doesn’t take much imagination to consider how many of these elements are in place today and how little we can do about it individually and personally. However, there is one small thing you can do that will help fragment this control of power and it is this:

If you vote for a republican president, vote democratic across the board for your state representation. Likewise, if you vote for a democratic president, vote republican for your state representation. Why? By doing so you will limit the powers. A president’s power is limited in large part by congress and the senate. We should never have a situation where all branches of government are packed so tightly by one political party as our current situation with the republicans who control the house, the senate, the presidency and appear to be the majority on the Supreme Court.

Juvenile Arthritis (part 2) Polyarticular and Systemic Juvenile Arthritis

What is Polyarticular Juvenile Arthritis?

Polyarticular Juvenile Arthritis is a type of arthritis that affects children between twelve and sixteen years of age. This disease affects roughly one third of Juvenile arthritis sufferers and mainly targets females. The joints affected are usually evenly distributed between the right and left sides of the body.

For instance if the right foot is affected, the left foot is typically also affected. The joints affected in polyarticular juvenile arthritis are usually the smaller joints for instance the finger joints, however in some cases the larger joints such as the knee or hip joint are also involved. This form of juvenile arthritis also involves more joints than the more common pauciarticular form, at least five or more joints can be swollen and painful.

A few children with polyarticular juvenile arthritis may have the rheumatoid factor in their blood (RH) which means the disease can manifest as rheumatoid arthritis later in life, but fortunately most will grow out of it.

Systemic Juvenile Arthritis is a more serious form of the disease and it is this form that is most likely to continue into adulthood.

Children with systemic juvenile arthritis can have several joints that are swollen and painful. There may also be a fever which lasts about two weeks. The fever is usually worse in the afternoon and evenings. Systemic juvenile arthritis accounts for about 20% of juvenile arthritis sufferers.

Children with systemic juvenile arthritis may also have a pink rash that appears on the thighs and lower body.

Systemic juvenile arthritis can also affect the lymph system and internal organs, such as the heart and liver. On the other hand, few children with the systemic form carry the RH factor which can develop into rheumatoid arthritis.

Arthritis in children can vary from day to day. Make the most of the days that your child is feeling better. It's important that they get enough exercise to build their muscles and ensure healthy growth.

Meanwhile research continues into this disease on all levels. Finding the cause, new medications and other treatments. Natural arthritis treatments are fine to use for children and can help them and their parents find other options for treating this disease. Meanwhile try to ensure your child has a normal a life as possible and remains as carefree and happy as possible.

Network Marketing--It's Three Deadly Sins And How To Find Salvation From Them Through A Funded Sponsoring Franchise System

Summary:

An unfortunate fact about network marketing is that approximately 95% of people who get involved in it never achieve significant success. This article summarizes the three main reasons for this and also introduces a new network marketing paradigm that can lead to a much higher degree of success and satisfaction.

If you're a network marketer, there's a 95% probability that you've not yet achieved success in this industry. If, on the other hand, you're currently seeking a network marketing business opportunity, this is statistical fact that is important for you to recognize. Even worse is the dismal fact that this is the approximate percentage of network marketers who will NEVER achieve success in this industry--UNLESS they become aware of what I will refer to here as its three "deadly sins" and find an effective way to avoid them.

The purpose of this article is to help you to become aware of these pervasive pitfalls, how they lead most networkers inevitably to what I refer to, sardonically, as Network Marketing "hell," and--most important of all--to present an alternative approach that can quickly lead to salvation in what I think quite fittingly can be called a "Network Marketing Paradise."

Unfortunately, nearly all network marketers are actively seduced into committing these "deadly sins" for the simple reason that--until very recently--they have provided the ONLY means for achieving success in the network marketing industry. All of them are based on the nearly universal and common-sensical premise in this industry that the ONLY way to succeed is to invest one's personal and financial resources directly, immediately, and one-pointedly into promoting and building one's primary business. As self-validating as this seems, the evidence is now overwhelming that this approach simply doesn't work well for the vast majority of people who enter this industry.

The good news is that there is now a highly effective alternative way to "salvation" for at least a large percentage of those who have fallen into the morass of failure and disillusionment to which this prevailing approach often and unfortunately leads.

The Three Deadly Sins of Network Marketing

The term, "sin," as used here has no moral implications of any kind; rather, it is used in its original sense as translated from the Greek word, hamartia, meaning "to miss the mark" or "to miss the target." Given this amoral definition, here's a list of the three "deadly sins" of traditional network marketing:

1. Spending vast amounts of money, time, and energy in promoting one's business and/or products to prospects who are highly unqualfied. Typically, this starts with one's "warm market"--i.e., one's immediate circle of family and friends. Not uncommonly, in enthusiastically and aggressively trying to recruit these folks, neophyte network marketers often meet with much negativity and create considerable alienation. Not surprisingly, this is a common early source of major disappointment and disillusionment.

2. Spending even greater amounts of money, time, and energy in promoting one's business to the "cold market," either on a face-to-face basis or through calling leads. In working with this market, as is commonly stated in the industry, "it's in the numbers." This means that for every qualified prospect successfully recruited, it's usually necessary to give presentations to large numbers of people who prove NOT to be qualified. So the return on investment here can be--and often is--horrifically low. Also, it requires a tremendous degree of commitment, persistence, and willingness to endure the frustration inherent in this process. Not surprisingly, then, the large majority of people new to the business will run out of money and/or personal endurance before they achieve a signficant degree of success.

3. Failure among those recruited to one's business team to duplicate successfully the method(s) used to recruit them. Since duplication is the sine qua non of ALL network marketing, this is a huge, and often, fatal problem. Although most network marketing companies tout a simple and easy-to-duplicate business plan, only a very small minority of new recruits are actually successful in implementing this duplication. The main reasons for this are as listed above.

A Pathway to Salvation--The Funded Proposal Franchising System

Fortunately, thanks to the rapid evolution of highly sophisticated and effective new forms of internet marketing, an effective means to "salvation" from all of these common failings is now readily available to anyone with internet access and the willingness to learn how to use them. Basically, internet technology has opened the way for a brand new paradigm of network marketing to emerge that not only avoids all of the problems of the traditional approach, but has a number of additional advantages to boot.

One highly effective variant of this new paradigm is called a Funded Proposal Franchising System. One of its unique features is that it utilizes a system of carefully chosen affiliate programs synergistically designed to generate income very quickly. This income is then dedicated, in part, to promoting one's primary network marketing business entirely through internet advertising.

Since this business building system is completely internet-based, it completely eliminates all forms of personal promotion and recruitment. This, in turn, eliminates all of the wasted time and effort that is entailed in the traditional model in trying to recruit large numbers of highly unqualified prospects. In this new paradigm, the business builder works ONLY with people who have established a high degree of qualification and motivation by actually enrolling in his/her business-building system.

One of the main effects of this marked difference is that the business builder's main role is transformed from being that of a personal promoter/recruiter/salesperson into a role that is much more satisfying for most people--namely that of being a supportive mentor/guide who also provides customer service.

An added major advantage of this new approach is that it not only has great appeal to prospective business opportunity seekers--once they understand it--but also to the vast numbers of traditional network marketers who have been floundering in "network marketing hell," as it has been described here.

As someone who has spent a lot of time in this hellish predicament, I can testify that discovering and applying this new paradigm has been, for me, truly like finding the gateway to a paradise.

So whether you are somebody seeking salvation from the "deadly sins" of network marketing, or a business opportunity seeker simply wanting to avoid the high probability of failure that they entail, I highly recommend that you investigate carefully this very attractive new alternative.

You can learn more about it by visiting the author's blog listed below.

Did You Hear About The Three Blind, The Elephant And The Systems Analyst

If this story doesn't sum up the average relationship between System Analysts and End Users then I'll turn in my Palm Pilot!

One day three blind men encountered an elephant.

Upon touching the elephant's tail, the first blind man exclaimed "I declare, an elephant is exactly like a rope."

The second blind man, bumping into the elephants side, said "No sir, you are wrong. An elephant is exactly like a wall."

Then the third, having grasped the elephant's trunk, declared "You are both mistaken. The elephant is exactly like a snake!"

Yes, it's all a matter of perspective. And it's that simple word: perspective that creates one of the biggest disconnects between System Analysts and the users they are trying to serve.

The elephant in the room in this case is one called the "abstraction barrier". That barrier represents the difference between how users see a software development project and how analyst's view it.

Users are by nature modal. They see software from the perspective of the data elements that they are required to collect and enter in order to do their job. They see the elephant being represented as "screens" of data that either collects information or displays it.

Most users care very little about databases and tables, properties and procedures, functions or compilers. All they really care about is seeing a visual representation of the screens that they will encounter and use once the software is developed and deployed.

So, why fight city hall?

Once the requirements have been gathered, why not take the easy route and test your understanding of the user's needs by presenting them with the one thing they understand the best? A visual representation of the system that takes them through each use case in a way that most closely matches the actual environment that the user will be working in.

"Um, no duh. We already do that."

Well good for you. If that's the case then you already understand how to provide a holistic view of that elephant. So answer these two questions for me:

1. How much work effort are you expending on creating those screens?

2. And how much more accurate could your presentation be if you were actually using a tool specifically designed to take your user to the "ah ha" level in the shortest amount of time possible?

Let me give you a little bit of help answering those questions.

If you actually are already delivering visual mockup drawings of your proposed system, the chances are good that you are either creating those drawings manually, or you're using a complicated program that requires way too much input before it's willing to crank out those drawings for you.

If you're not actually already delivering visual mockup drawings of your proposed system, then the chances are it is due to either the fact that no one on your team knows how to draw, or you do not have the time, patience, or perhaps the money needed to use those expensive and complicated documentation tools.

Here's the solution to all of those problems. It's called MockupScreens. A descriptive name for a tool that represents the fastest, easiest and least expensive way to smash through the abstraction barrier by presenting one cohesive 'elephant' that all of the users will instantly be able to see in the perspective that most matches their expectations.

It's a consensus-building, "ah ha" moment-generator that is easy to use and inexpensive to own. Better yet, it's so good at reducing project risk that your PM will probably reach right into his or her own pocket and buy it for you themselves!

The MockupScreens software program is easy to understand and use because it's designed to work in a similar way to sketching screens on paper. MockUpScreens reduces the chances of distracting your users with unnecessary details by keeping everything in black and white. That way everyone's attention is focused on fields and data elements and not screen colors.

You have the flexibility of adding comments, icons, questions and other elements into the drawings and then either hiding them when you create the users' version of the drawings, or displaying everything for the whole world to see.

MockUpScreens can even generate slide shows that will display every screen in the same order that they will appear when the system goes live.

You can make changes to the screens in response to user input, during the presentation if you want to, and then display those changes right in front of their very eyes. MockUpScreens actually helps to increase your professional image, and the users' confidence level in you and your team, at no extra charge.

The best part is that you don't need any artistic or programming skills to extract every ounce of power out of MockUpScreens. You simply fire up MockupScreens and the intuitive interface leads you from there.

There are keyboard shortcuts for every action as well as context-sensitive help everywhere you'd expect it to be.

Built-in features, like automatic screen resizing when new elements are added, free you to concentrate on functionality instead of GUI design.

Actual tests with brand new MockUpScreens users showed that the average inexperienced user was capable of drawing 5 screens in about 10 minutes! It doesn't get any easier than that. You can shave even more time off of the cycle, if you have similar looking screens, thanks to the built-in screen cloning feature.

Look, your job is hard enough without having to conduct multiple user meetings just to explain what an elephant looks like. Find out how to gain user approval of your designs faster and easier than ever before by taking a minute to visit www.MockUpScreens.com. You can even download a fully-functional 30 Day demo copy of MockUpScreens so you can see for yourself how quickly and easily you can develop screen mockups even if you can't draw a stick figure on a cocktail napkin.

Disaster recovery services through a Hosted PBX System

A virtual or hosted PBX system is usually projected as a cost effective solution to the ever expanding communication needs of a company. This system provides all the facilities that one can find in a conventional system, at a far lower cost. Apart from the cost effectiveness and rich features, a hosted PBX system can be utilized for disaster recovery services.

During natural disasters, a company that has implemented a premise based PBX system can suffer dire consequences owing to the destruction. Recovery is only possible if the telephone connections are restored. In such a case a hosted PBX service comes in handy. A hosted PBX system utilizes both the public telephone network and the Internet for delivering its service. Hence, any disruption in the telephone network does not have any severe effect in the working of the PBX system. The calls being managed by the service provider can be diverted via the Internet. Since all the telephone numbers and extensions are managed by the service provider, the clients can avail of their services irrespective of their geographic location. A company which has been affected by a natural disaster can therefore recover quickly by establishing its communication point at the nearest site where any telephone system or Internet connection is available.

Apart from being able to recover quickly, another benefit of a hosted system is the facility of maintaining the same old numbers. In a hosted PBX system, the extension numbers are provided and maintained by the service provider. Hence, a company that restores its communication hub through a new point of contact can get the same old numbers. This consistency in maintaining numbers helps a company in giving better service to its customers. The company need not announce a new customer care number in case a communication hub is established.

This article has been published by AccessDirect, a leading service provider of Unified Messaging System , Voicemail, and virtual or hosted PBX phone systems. For more information visit www.messagingservice.com.

Iron Thread is a complex of exercises developed by Shaolin Temple monks during centuries. Practicing Iron Thread exercises Shaolin Temple monks achieved amazing results in Kung Fu and became invincible fighters.

However, besides the fighting aspect, Iron Thread is a powerful health improvement method. With the help of isometric exercises and breathing techniques, Iron Thread fills all internal body organs with Qi energy and increases internal body reserve. As a result, organism rejuvenates and keeps its strength and power even to deep old age.

The basis of Iron Thread consists of 12 "Arms-bridges": Tan (hardness), Zhou (flexibility), Bi (compulsion), Chzhi (straightness), Fen (division), Din (fixation), Tsun (instant), Ti (raise), Lju (abandonment), Jun (movement), Chzhi (suppression), Din (correction).

Besides, you should use the contrary factors. Using Qi, the life-giving spirit power, you increase physical forces. Pay attention to the waist and kidney defense. Breathe loudly so that your breath got particular features like for instance joy, anger, grief and gaiety. This is quite that what differs this single combat style from others. I consider that the most complicated thing in Tiet Sin Qigong mastering is the respiration itself and regulation of Qi as well as sound utterance and internal power application. If the above-mentioned items are performed badly, you will get no use or can even harm yourself.

Practicing Iron Thread, it is necessary to remember always one important rule to avoid health damage. It is strongly prohibited to do these exercises with breathing stop. In normality, Q energy circulates together with blood through whole organism and supports regular function of all internal organs.

When you perform force exercise with maximum effort, a powerful surge of Qi occurs. With breathing stop, Qi energy also stops circulation and accumulates in certain vital organs, which causes their damage. That is why fatal cases often occure with weight-lifting sportsmen. Blood excess (and Qi excess too) rises to brain and causes cerebral hemorrhage. The heart and other organs can be damaged as well.

Therefore, it is essential to be very careful practicing Iron Thread exercises and not to do them as isometric, i.e. with breathing stop. In spite of the fact that the exercises are performed with isometric exertion, the hands go forward slowly and simultaneously with exhalation.

In the interval between exhalation, the short limited inhalation takes place. As a result of such breathing, Qi (and blood as well) circulates freely throughout the whole body without any side effects.

On the contrary, Iron Thread is very useful for those with weak health or suffered serious illness. Hung Gar Kung Fu history mentions about quite a number cases when weak health people started practise Iron Thread and not only recovered the health, but, in addition, became famous Kung Fu masters and lived until deep old age.

Alexander Popov dedicated about 20 years to Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu. He is the successor of Hung Gar Kung Fu tradition in the 8th masters' generation. Website: Shaolin Kung Fu and Qigong http://www.shaolin-kungfu-qigong.com

Restaurant Employee Tip Tracking Easier Through A Point Of Sale System

Restaurant Employee Tip Handling

The History Of Restaurant Employee Tip Handling

No one knows when tipping began. But we do know that in the 1980's the IRS levied new regulations on restaurant owners to track the tips received by the employees of the restaurant.

The magic number of 8% became the benchmark for servers and waiters to declare as their tipped earned. Not because it was accurate. Rather, because it was the minimum amount allowed by the IRS.

The trick is this. Tipped employees in restaurants are generally not paid minimum wage. The amount varies from state to state but it runs between $2.15 to $3.15 per hour. The IRS assumes that the tips received will make up the difference between this low hourly amount and the true minimum wage that is currently $5.15 per hour. If this is not the case, then it is up to the restaurant owner to make up the difference between what the tipped employee earned + declared tips and minimum wage. This makes accurate tip declaration, tracking and reporting a vital aspect of running a restaurant.

The Need For Restaurant Employee Tip Handling

You need a employee time clock system that recognizes tipped employees, tracks their individual sales, any charge tips collected and requires them to declare cash tips at the end of their shift.

You also need a employee time clock system that can handle tip sharing, tip pooling and tip out to bus help, bartenders and other servers.

You need a employee time clock system that will track the hours worked and tips collected and recognize problems with employees not declaring enough tips to meet the minimum wage requirements.

The Solution Of Restaurant Employee Tip Handling

Some point of sale software products have tip tracking built into their time in attendance module. Once you set an employee as a tipped employee the system will require tip declaration prior to clock out.

Servers and waiters who ring sales will have their total sales tracked. Tips collected through credit card sales are tracked and shown on the server closeout report. Prior to clock out the server/waiter will be shown their total sales, the charge tips collected and then asked to declare their cash tips.

Some point of sale products do allow for programming flexibility with this feature:

* You may change the minimum declaration from the default of 8%.
* You may change the requirement to declare tips at clock out.
* You may opt to have the system print a chit with their tips shown.
* You may opt to not show charge tips on the declaration screen.

The Benefit Of Restaurant Employee Tip Handling To You

How do you measure the amount of relief a person can have knowing that your point of sale system is enforcing tip regulations levied by the IRS? Not to mention the mass amount of time savings in tracking declared tips, charge tips and hour worked for every tipped employee.

This is one headache you don't want to have to deal with. If you have tipped employees you need a good point of sale system with tip tracking and time and attendance.Jerry D.

A Look at Popular Shrink Wrap Systems

Shrink wrapping items protects them during transport, but requires many pieces of equipment. To shrink wrap any small item, a sealing wand, film dispenser with film, heat gun or tunnel are needed. Shrink wrap systems simplify the process.

For the home or small business, small shrink systems are available to frame artwork or to package small items. These cost between $300 and $500 and provide all equipment needed for shrink wrapping small items. Consider buying a straight bar sealer or an L-bar sealer.  Small shrink wrap systems can be used on a tabletop and should include a durable sealing pad. Look for a system that is portable, can accommodate different sizes and types of film, and can heat up quickly.  When shrink-wrapping artwork or photographs, you should look for acid-free or archival-quality shrink wrap film. Not all acid-free films are archival quality.  Avoid storing art in shrink wrap for long periods of time.

For businesses that must shrink wrap hundreds of items, or large or irregular items, larger shrink wrap systems are more practical. Sleeve shrink wrappers can handle differently shaped packages, continuous band sealers form a tight seal around many objects quickly, and mail bagging systems can order and pack newspapers, boxes, or other items for shipment quickly.  Manual sealers typically cost around $7,000 and automatic systems around $36,000.  For added protection, vacuum sealers can remove the air from packages before sealing.  Continuous band sealers are useful for containing easily spilled items.  To complete a large shrink wrap system, pair the sealer with an automatic heater that moves the items along a conveyor belt to heat and shrink the film automatically.  Shrink wrap heat tunnels cost between $2,000 and $16,000.

Shrink wrap systems make shipping CDs, DVDs, books, newspapers, artwork, packages, or crates of product simpler and cleaner, and are sold online by retailers and wholesalers.

Shrink Wrap provides detailed information about shrink wrap machines, systems, bags, as well as CD and DVD shrink wrap, and shrink wrap for boats. For more information go to Shrink Wrap and/or visit our affiliate site at Original Content Web.

A Look at DVD Shrink Wrap Systems

Shrink wrap machines use plastics to protect items from moisture and dirt during storage or transport. The plastic film is wrapped around the item and then the film is heated. It shrinks and conforms to the shape of the item, forming a barrier between the product and outside hazards.

Shrink wrap systems may be small and manually operated for the home business, or large-scale automated machines used by shipping companies. Automatic machines can process more items and hour than their smaller counterparts.

DVDs can be easily shrink wrapped for a professional look that protects the DVD from the environment.  Machines designed to shrink wrap DVDs work more efficiently than generic hand-held shrink wrapping systems. Some machines shrink wrap only DVDs; others can shrink wrap both DVDs and CDs. Machines specifically designed for DVDs are typically cheaper than dual systems, and can be purchased for under $5,000.

To shrink wrap a DVD with a shrink wrap machine, place a precut plastic cover on the machine's platform, and then place the DVD on top of the plastic. Close the machine's cover to heat seal the DVD. The sealing temperature is electronically controlled by the machine. These semi-automatic machines can shrink wrap about 200 DVDs an hour. Automated machines work twice as fast, shrink wrapping about 400 DVDs an hour.

More expensive, fully automatic machines can shrink wrap about 55 CDs or DVDs a minute, or about 3000 an hour. These machines cost about $16,000, but can also handle films other than plastic. Paper or cardboard could also be used, for example. Automated high throughput machines are portable and can sit on tables, taking up less space than floor-bound machines, but the table-top machines can shrink wrap DVDs and a comparable rate.

Several online stores sell all kinds of DVD shrink wrap systems at wholesale prices. These Web sites sell both the machines and the films need to shrink wrap DVDs.  There you will find everything you need to package DVDS with a professional look.

Chronic Fatigue System - How Does it Affect Sleep?

Or to turn it around - How does improving your sleep lessen the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)?

Our aim here is to understand the connection between the two as it may be possible to confuse the symptoms of CFS and sleep deprivation. There are however definite differences.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Symptoms

Constant and persistent fatigue lasting 6 months or more

Feeling feverish

Sore throat

Muscle aches and pains

Tender or swollen lymph nodes

Joint pain

More headaches than usual

Abnormal lethargy after exercise

Poor concentration

Depression

Poor quality sleep

Although not everyone who suffers with CFS will display all of the above, two or more of these symptoms would definitely bear further investigation.

CFS often follows a bout of flu or other respitory disease. It occurs more frequently in middle age and twice as often in women as men.

CFS is a debilitating illness which is hard to diagnose due to the symptoms being non specific. Also the symptoms described by the sufferers often cannot be verified. For instance, patients often describe feeling feverish although their temperature is normal. Recent studies indicate CFS may in fact be an immune disorder.

There are medical practitioners who still believe it to be a disease of "malingerers". In fact some of those suffering with CFS often wonder sometimes if they are imagining their symptoms. But CFS is very real and can lead to broken marriages and wrecked careers.

It is very important for those who suspect they have CFS to seek medical attention straight away. If you feel your doctor is not taking you seriously, get a second and even a third opinion. It helps if you have been seeing the same doctor for some time, as they know you and can recognize that you are not a "hypochondriac" or a time waster looking for sympathy.

CFS is certainly not new, although the association of symptoms under the name Chronic Fatigue Syndrome only took place in the 1990s. Previously it was largely overlooked or thought to be something else, for example low blood sugar, Lyme disease, allergies, fybromyalgia, yeast infections etc.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Treatment

These vary from antidepressants, steroids, immune system medications and anti-histamines to the more holistic treatments like evening primrose oil, diet therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, removal of dental fillings (mercury poisoning) and gentle exercise programs.

Although lack of a definite treatment for CFS leaves a lot to be desired, the above treatments, whether all or a combination, can prove fairly effective. The broad answer seems to be to treat the symptoms as they occur.

Therefore the quality of sleep of patients must have a direct effect on the severity of the disease. If depression is the main problem, treatment of that can significantly improve the quality of sleep, thus relieving somewhat the persistent fatigue.

A combination of better quality sleep with gentle exercise, optimal diet and cognitive behavioural therapy would go a long way to improving the lives of patients with CFS.

Three Step Marketing System and One Golden Nugget

This is the exact system I use daily to build my business online. Practicle, simple and easy to implement today. This week I want to talk about why to focus on driving traffic to your site. Specifically, increasing unique hits even before making any offer beyond building your optin subscriber list.

By now you most likely have heard or read, 'The money is in the list.' Meaning simply that earning income with your Internet business is produced through email marketing to your subscribers.

If you are finding it rather difficult to make any income through your efforts, consider the following three step system to building your business.

First Step

Resolve to not make any real offer other than asking visitors to join your newsletter as a subscriber.

And the purpose of not making any offer is because you will otherwise be wasting your time, effort and resources. You'll go broke waiting to earn a living off of first time visitors to your site.

In my opinion, as a marketer, there is no other purpose for you to create a website other than to build a subscriber list. The only offer to make is one which entices people to subscribe.

Sure, two page mini-sites can sell products, notice though itis the affiliate who mainly promotes the mini-site. The product owner somewhere built their list first, then developed their product(s) and then offered it to their subscribers to buy. And then made these buyers affiliates to expand their business.

Bingo! - better read those last two paragraphs one more time. They are The Golden Nugget you have been searching. The Internet business model to success.

Second Step

Determine the general theme of your newsletter.

I know you are told discover your niche. I believe that is true for sure however, here is something to think about.

Maintaining a general in nature approach to increasing your subscriber count does one thing - brings in a greater number of interested subscribers.

Trust me, subscribers will weed themselves out. Some will opt out right away. Others will do so after reading a few of the newsletters you publish. And still more will seldom even open your mailing, effectively removing themselves by default.

Your job as the publisher is to hold on to that subscriber. You will have to offer valuable information, resources and experience.

The subscribers who stay are your niche. Build a relationshipwith these subscribers. Let them know you are a real individual. Don't pretend to be a guru or expert when you really are not.

Besides, I see a trend happening online. I believe the 'guru' is falling from grace in the eyes of the Internet community as a whole. And for many reasons, but mostly I see it as a revolt against being used.

I believe my responsibility as a newsletter publisher is to help my subscribers first. Everything else will take care of itself. I encourage you to take a similar approach.

Third Step

Be on the lookout for the product(s) which will truly help your subscribers build their business.

You'll not only know which products and services best fit your subscribers, you will know when it is best to make an offer in your mailing.

Certainly the very best product is one you develop yourself.

You are just going to have to trust me when I tell you this too, you will be able to develop your own unique products and services. It will come naturally as a progression of your focus on building your business.

And that focus will be on helping your subscribers as best you can.

So don't go off thinking right away about the excuses you can dream up about how you can't create and develop your own products. Doing so will only destroy your resolve. As I said, you must trust me that you will one day develop your very own product.

I'm proof. I have absolutely no programming skills. I write only so-so. Spent far to much time in the past chasing hype and threw away hundreds of dollars doing so. Yet I'm still here with my very own product too :)

Let's put it all together.

The reason to focus on building traffic to your site is for the express purpose of getting visitors to subscribe. You do not want to sell from your site - this is reserved for offers you will present to your subscribers. Reread the Golden Nugget found above.

Take a general approach to publishing your newsletter. Not necessarily avoiding a niche but rather defining yourself as time passes. You'll fall into a niche all your own in no time.

The benefit is that you are able to reach a larger audience which will help you fall into that niche. They will be the subscribers who stick with your newsletter.

In time you will be able to discover the products and services that best help your subscribers to build their businesses. Then offer those products naturally in your regular schedule of publishing. I recommend one newsletter weekly. Any more than that you run the risk of being a nuisance. You lose.

Try not to jump on every product which comes along - think about it - how many newsletters do you already receive?

You can always tell when a new 'hot' product has been released. Every publisher and their pet duck is presenting it to their subscribers. I suggest passing over the opportunity to make a few quick affiliate dollars, be selective and I am sure your subscribers will be grateful.

Doing so will make the difference in whether or not your newsletter gets read. It is really that plain.

There you have it, my overall approach to marketing online. Works very well too. One more thing - The Golden Nugget - will take years off of your Internet Marketing learning curve, if you work at implementing what I've shared.

Take it to heart.visit: http://www.opportunity4profit.com

Chroot For Windows Is Now Available With WinJail Software

WinJail utility for Windows embodies and expands chroot / Jail functionality of Unix-like systems. It provides transparent redirections of file operations from common places like Windows folders to private copies of them. WinJail also enables unique possibility to separate programs by users who launched it, and every user is able to use his/her private sandbox even for the same application.

Designed for wide use in administration and security purpose, WinJail works on the principle of Partial virtualization so that any effects of viral/trojan/spyware threat or mistake are not dangerous for the rest of the system integrity.

Partial virtualization means that all processes started in jail trying to use files or directories are redirected by another address ? copy of the files needed. This concept makes WinJail software indispensable in case of multi-user work or working in unsafe environment.

WinJail can be widely used for different purposes as:

  • background for Anti-SpyWare, Firewall and so on. In this way all possibly unsafe processes like ICQ, MSN, MS Outlook and Internet Explorer are put in jail so that in case of destructive behavior no harm is done to the system. All files and folders that can be used by the process are copied from the real system and used by the process privately and transparently.
  • To safely test new software. Thanks to the limited scope of a jail every vulnerability or either bug in software will not jeopardize system integrity.
  • Important piece of servers security. By moving internet-aware web servers, ftp servers, application servers, database servers to jail, you decrease possible risk of attacks, damage, and increase system stability in general.
  • For ease of administration reasons.When a computer is used by many users it is needed to establish a clean cut between their services, mainly for security. For example, it can be used in Internet Cafe. WinJail allows each user work in his or her own environment safely and easily backup and delete all user files after his/her work is finished.

    Additional information about WinJail software is avalable at http://www.winquota.com/wj/winjail_desktop.html
