I was planning a post on how public speaking skills help us in "real life," and along came Andrew Dlugan with an excellent post on "10 Ways Your Presentation Skills Generate Career Promotions." An excerpt:"Benefit #6: You are a better listenerPoor presenters: They are too concerned about their own presentation mishaps to listen attentively to the audience.You: Presentation skills are not only about what you say; it’s about how you listen. With a heightened sense of how to convey a message to your audience, you have also developed keen listening skills. Listening effectively to your audience makes you a better listener at all times. This, in turn, makes you more approachable…Benefit #7: You are more approachablePoor presenters: They may welcome the idea of interacting with others, but t

This is probably not related to IT, but I think this is interesting for you to know about this UFO secret.

Smoking in public places is one of the controversial topics nowadays.

In my opinion, there are two areas that a Christian Mom like me may feel insecure about.

Introduction Your odds of raising $200,000 for a Private Company are about one-in-four (Money 1/1/98). Your odds of raising a million dollars as a spunoff public company exceed ninety percent. The odds improve because you are offering investors liquidity. They can sell their stock in your company because it will trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) in the United States.

There are three ways that public company insiders can convert their equity into cash. 1. They can sell their stock to the public. This is the goal of the insiders in most OTCBB and Nasdaq Small Cap Companies. It's summarized in the axiom "Pump & Dump." The stock is promoted as the insiders sell their shares into the public buying. The SEC has spent 60 years trying to stop this practice. We have

When I was out on the road today, I got to thinking about how much it costs to maintain and drive an automobile. Doing some quick calculations in my head, I came up with a rough estimate of $8000 a year for my family's two vehicles. That figure includes one car payment, gasoline, insurance, taxes, maintenance, and repairs. $8000 represents 20% of our household income - almost equal to the national average of 19%, according to the Thoreau Institute. This figure has risen from 10% in 1935 and 14% in 1960. Let's get hypothetical for a moment. Let's assume that every American household spends $8000 a year on transportation. That comes to a total of $880 billion for the entire country.  Now, let's assume that we all reduce our transportation costs by 10%; we can car pool, buy more fuel efficie

Ram Gopal Varma is a maverick director. He made it very big in Bollywood and made several hit films in his long career. He is also known to be very close with all his heroines. He has been linked with several of his heroines' right from Urmila Matondkar to Nisha Kothari.Ram Gopal Varma however slipped up very badly with his 'remake' of the blockbuster film Sholay. The film is by far the biggest flop in the history of Hindi cinema. He is now busy making films in Telugu and also a sequel to Sarkar.RGV was recently spotted in public with his latest heroine Amrita Khanvilkar. He was also caught kissing her in public. He now says that all his heroines are like his sisters. So we now have to look at these kisses as a kiss from a brother to his sister!Courtesy:greatandhra

DUBAI — The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA)Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and the franchisee taxi companies have planned to upgrade public transport services and performance standards, according to a press release yesterday. (...)

As gas prices increase so does the use of public transportation amongst Americans. The increase is occurring in both places where commuters have largely been drivers like Charlotte, Houston and Nashville and in areas where commuters have traditionally used public transportation like Boston and New York City. Certainly, the nontraditional cities will have to expand their public transportation infrastructure. From the New York Times:“In almost every transit system I talk to, we’re seeing very high rates of growth the last few months,” said William W. Millar, president of the American Public Transportation Association.“It’s very clear that a significant portion of the increase in transit use is directly caused by people who are looking for alternatives to paying $3.50 a gallon fo

In many states, citizens and scientists are accusing the CDC's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry of ignoring scientific evidence of connections between public health problems and industrial sources of pollution.Recently, a nonprofit investigative journalism group, The Center for Public Integrity, published a suppressed study by the agency called "Public Health Implications of Hazardous Substances in the Twenty-Six U.S. Great Lakes Areas of Concern." The report concludes that over 9 million people have elevated health risks resulting from exposure to dioxins, pesticides, lead, mercury, PCBs and other poisonous chemicals. Scientists discovered low birth weights, high infant mortality rates, high rates of premature births, and high rates of death from breast, colon and lung can

Many parents of college bound students in Connecticut do not truly understand that Connecticut colleges are big business. We would all love to believe that everyone who is an college administrator, advisor or professor is doing it for the love of education.

It should also be a clear sign that motives might not be completely pure based on the relentless pursuit in which colleges ask for alumni contributions.<br><br>Most parents I speak to simply do not realize that it is the best interest of the college to politely send you financial aid award packages that are comprised mostly of student loans.

This year's Fortune 500 list has been released, and the nation's top 8 public homebuilders lost a collective $5.8 billion on revenues of $67 billion in 2007, led by Pulte (-$2.26 billion) and Lennar (-$1.94 billion), which were the leaders in taking impairments for land write-downs and lower prices/incentives. Other builders realized lesser losses -- less than $1 billion -- including KBHome (-$929 million), DR Horton (-$713 million) and Hovnanian Enterprises (-$627 million).Still, some builders on the list actually managed to squeak out a profit last year, led by NVR, which builds mostly as Ryan Homes ($334 million) and Centex ($268 million).Not surprisingly, profit margins as a percentage of revenues were paltry or in negative territory, with a median of -9% and ranging from +6% (NVR) to

For years together now, the basis of voting in music shows have been us, the janta. We make the final decision of who wins the title and who doesn't - but is this fair?Tears fall from our eyes when we see our favourite contesants get eliminated from a show and lose their chance of becoming India's next voice. This gives the incentive for viewers to not blame themselves, but rather, the channel. Whose fault is this?Channel heads will blame it on the pub
