Many companies considering using accounts receivable factoring are worried that their customers will perceive them as “going under”. This is a concern with most prospects that are unfamiliar with factoring. The issue centers around notification and collection. At the inception of a factoring relationship, each account debtor is notified that a secured party [...]
I remember the moment in junior high school when I had an epiphany about my public image. Contrary to my belief that no one was talking to me, I realized that I wasn’t talking to anyone. At that moment I determined to be the first to speak to my fellow students and to appear to look “open” to talking to others. I wish I could say that, with my new outgoing persona, I became very popular. But that wouldn’t be the truth. I still had hair that wouldn’t rat, not very fashionable clothes, and in general wasn’t a very “cool” kid. Yet I did make friends and – all-important in those days – have other kids to sit with in the lunch room. What does this story from long ago have to do with your career goals now? Perception. In other words, what you may think is h
For some it may sound strange to consider scriptural insights while making money decisions, but I have found that sound principles transcend subject matter.
While looking into some prophetic verses in the Bible I read the chapter in Isaiah where God is telling him to go warn the people that their hard headedness and hard heartedness [...]
Corgi Guy has a fascinating, must-read article from a Spanish paper about the international view of Obama, American politics, and how they fit together. The point of the article is that the international view of Obama says much about the state of affairs in individual countries, more so than it says much about whether the international community thinks Obama would be a good President.This is not to say that Obama's successes are insignificant - quite the contrary, in fact. Should he be elected, he will have an impact that no other President can have - not by what he does, but by who he is and what that fact says about America. The anti-American stereotypes of the European and Latin American Left about the USA will be crushed, while the political Right in those countries (which would fit mo

Conference Announcement and Call for PapersBritish Broadcasting and the World: Changing Perceptions in a Global ContextDepartment of HumanitiesUniversity of Central LancashirePreston, UK PR1 2HE23rd - 25th July 2008In 20th century British history, during which time the nation attempted to maintain an international presence and influence, British broadcasting had a significant role to play. This has continued into the 21st century. Furthermore we have seen a shift in Anglo-American politics following the 9/11 attacks and a shift in reputation as the conflict in Iraq remains controversial. The 21st century is also an age of digitalisation, and one that is even questioning the future of broadcasting - of television at least - in the context of new media developments and social change.This three-day conference seeks to explore the status of British broadcasting given the more recent shifts in the international arena. A focal point of the conference will be on news and factual programming,
Women who are raised in any of the several countries on the continent of Asia are known to be brought up learning how to be submissive and exceptionally pleasing to the men in their lives, especially their husbands. For many years, Asian women have suffered through a lifetime of being categorized as second class citizens, being given barely any personal rights, including the right to think for themselves. Based on that type of lifestyle, which can be very degrading and traumatic, many Asian women try to emigrate to other countries in search of a better life. They offer themselves as wives for what can many times turn out to be a worse existence than before they left.‘But the times, they are a changin’. Fortunately, many modern Asian women, especially Asian American women, attend school and college and go on to become successful business people. They become doctors, lawyers and even politicians. The modern Asian women have evolved into wives and mothers who no longer have to bow dow
I wrote a previous article on whether men really needed their own line of skincare products and I said I did not think so for various reasons set out in there.
However, when I investigated further online, I discovered that not only are there many lines of skincare for men, there is a whole website dedicated to men’s skincare in Mankind which is based in the UK and stocks men skincare lines like Lab Series and Dermalogica to name just two.
Men are clearly starting to take better care of themselves and groom themselves better by taking care of their skin. Age is something that affects everyone, not only women and I think men have realised that with women being more independent these days, men too have to keep up appearances.
I may not think much of men’s skincare lines, but I am a great advocate of men (and women) taking good care of the skin. To me, there is nothing effeminate about men using skincare and especially sunscreen, because I think the days of having leathery skin like t
‘We have a better Malaysia today!’, that’s probably what our government officials would say after Transparency International released their Corruption Perceptions Index for the year of 2007 recently.Come on, we only improved slightly, a mere 0.1 point compared to last year. We may have notched up one place to number 43 this year compared to 44 last year; the improvement is really nothing to shout about. We have not achieved ‘Merdeka’ just yet. We are still down in the dumps.Luckily, the StarOnline for an example did not hail this slight improvement as Barisan Nasional’s greatest achievement this year! I would have puked if they do that.With the current crisis hitting our Malaysian judiciary and strategic establishments such as Port Klang Free Zone recently, I can foresee that our position would plunge further in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index next year. :-(I do agree with what MalaysiaKini has said about the result of this year’s Corruption Pe
The Freakonomics Blog has an interesting interview with Sudhir Venkatesh on the topic of gangs. The entire post is worth a read, but one question struck me as most interesting:Q: How do you define a gang?A: Great question. There are a few important legal cases where prosecutors tried to prosecute college fraternities as “gangs.” They suggested that the fraternity was an organization that existed to promote criminal behavior, such as the abuse of women and underage drinking. Most judges threw these cases out because they thought that fraternities were not, by definition, “gangs.” But judges rarely gave a logical reason for excluding (typically white) fraternities from the “gang category.”Indeed, by any valid social scientific definition of a gang — “an established organization whose members come together for solidarity reasons and who engage in delinquent and/or criminal activities” — a fraternity most certainly qualifies. But race, as we know, can be a factor in sha

The recent recognition of Vietnam as a full market economy by ASEAN members is very much welcome, but whether the EU and the US will now think differently about the Vietnamese economy is a different matter. Thu Trang reports. For every one of his 10 years as Minister of Trade, Mr Truong Dinh Tuyen attended the ASEAN Economic Ministers (AEM) meeting. But the 13th meeting on May 3 in Brunei was especially satisfying, with his counterparts agreeing to recognise Vietnam as a full market economy. According to the Minister, recognition came because of Vietnam’s commitments to the World Trade Organisation and its pledge to remove all subsidies that conflict with the regulations of the global trade body. The ASEAN Secretariat said in a joint media statement issued at the meeting that: “Having noted the significant achievements of Vietnam in economic development and integration into the regional and global economies, ASEAN has agreed to recognise Vietnam as a full market economy.” In the

I’ve been painfully busy as of late and have had very little time to post, but yesterday I did post a couple, one of which was “When Democrats say it’s a Big Deal, it Isn’t.” I received a really good comment from a John (no, I’m not a pro, but I do play one on TV), and is as follows: “Obviously this blogger has never practised law. It's an incredibly big deal. Forget all the spin, it is SOP to replace all or most US attorneys at the start of a new presidency. Clinton replaced all but so did Reagan in 1981. After that it very unusual for any to lose their jobs during a president's term and they occupy a quasi monarchical position while in office. Real or apparent political interference is a complete no no. Hence the total silence on the Republican benches of congress because they realize how big a deal this is. Given what has happened, Gonzales is probably a goner and it is probable that several of these staffers are in serious legal jeopardy. Schumer has the white
When we remember our family and our childhood we all have certain memories or pictures that are filed in our minds. It is as if we have a family album stored there. These images can be good or bad. And these images are very powerful. Matter fact they can shape our lives, our way of seeing ourselves and our future family experiences.And studies that have been conducted conclude that these images can also affect our perceptions of God. One study conducted on children from the age of 4-11 found that when parents were viewed as powerful and nurturing (especially when the mother was powerful and the father nurturing) children projected these images towards God. They would view God as nurturing and powerful.Another study (Justice and Lambert, 1986) found a strong correlation between the images of subjects and of their fathers and their images of God. With those with the most negative images of their parents having the most negative images of God. Another study (Birky and Ball, 1987) showed t

Thanks to PsychCentral.com, I found facinating article from the Los Angeles Times. A recent study has found that depression is related more to misperceptions of peer interactions, especially during puberty.
Truth sometimes hurts. But for children closing in on adolescence, a firm grasp on the truth about one's standing with classmates and peers can be healthy, even when it does hurt a bit.
A new study has found that children who can accurately assess how much — or little — their peers like them are less likely to develop symptoms of depression, including sadness and difficulties concentrating or sleeping. By comparison, children with unrealistically rosy or unfoundedly gloomy views of their standing appear more likely to be headed toward depression.
Many psychologists have speculated that the smiling child who believes she is the glowing sun in her classmates' universe will be protected from depression by that belief. They also surmised that the child who holds a negative view
Children who can accurately assess how their classmates feel about them - even if those feelings are negative - are less likely to show symptoms of depression, according to Florida State University researchers.
From the outstanding site of Anxiety Insights, there is a summary of a recent research study that produces results questioning conventional wisdom about income, poverty and depression. None of the socio-economic indicators studied was found to be significantly associated with an episode of common mental disorder at follow-up, after baseline...
