It's indeed incredible that not many people pay a great deal of attention to what gets into their minds. You see, the mind is the single most important factor in determining who you are and what you do as an individual. If your mind is positive and creative, you can become all you ever dream of becoming. Most of the highly successful people you see in the news today took a great deal of time to work on improving their minds. Positive and negative thinking are both contagious. All of us affect, in one way or another, the people we meet. This happens instinctively and on a subconscious level, through thoughts and feelings transference and through body language. People sense our aura and are affected...
Canadian commercial pilot, owner of a publishing company, mother of two and author of the Violet the Pilot children's book series, Bettina Bathe has a talent and energy for today's youth. I think this aviation adventure fiction series is appropriate for children aged between three and eight years old. Her children's book series focus during one season in one country at a time, though the adventures in each book are widely different and involve a various aircraft. Starting in Canada, Bettina's main character takes three passengers in a floatplane for a camping/fishing trip during the spring. Her second book has Violet the Pilot taking two young French passengers on a hot-air balloon ride to a site...

Playing with love magick can be a very bad idea and something to be very carefully with, but at the same time, who can't use a little help where love is concerned? So, first here are the warnings. Then, we'll get on to what to do if you really need help. One of the core precepts of the Wiccan faith is to harm no other.

"The Book Sistah" I got lucky. The month that I sold my novel was the same month that I started my newsletter, Living the Dream, for my coaching business. I had no idea that as my list of subscribers grew I would have a great platform from which to launch the book 18 months later. Thanks to that list, I was pre-selling my book long before it hit store shelves. I was cultivating an audience without realizing it. But now I know that having a list is a goldmine, both for selling your book and for getting your book noticed by a publisher. These days if you can prove that you come to the table with a huge audience, a big advance may follow. But how do you get such a list? These tips will help you go from...

If we schedule multiple tasks in a given day and underestimate how long it will take to complete them, we will be forced to shove excess over to the next day. Invariably, it seems, this leads to more reshuffling and a move from organization to chaos. College students are often surprised by how quickly they run out of time. Between the hours required for studying, classes, work, socializing, and extracurricular activities, there never seems to be enough time to accomplish everything. Unfortunately, students quickly feel overwhelmed, leading to spending every moment on studies or letting grades slip in favor of other activities. Effective time management skills, however, can make it possible to...
The Right Words
When Marlo Thomas was an 18-year-old up-and-coming actress, she was devastated when journalists began debating whether she'd ever be as good or popular as her famous father, TV star Danny Thomas. She went to him in tears, insisting that she wanted to change her name. "I raised you to be a thoroughbred," Danny told his daughter. "They wear blinders and run their own race. That's what you have to do: run your own race." That single comment inspired Thomas' wildly popular 2002 best-seller, "The Right Words at the Right Time," a collection of first-person stories about the power of words by such icons as Paul McCartney and Oprah Winfrey. After the book's release, people from across the country...
In 2006, 300 billion text messages were sent in China, 140 billion were sent in the Philippines, and 40 billion were sent in the UK. How does Canada match up? The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA - has reported that just over 4.3 billion text messages were sent by Canadians last year. So, why have Canadians been slow to adopt this technology? Text messaging is far more popular in Europe and Asia primarily due to the high costs of voice communication; hence there is a monetary incentive to use text messaging. In the UK, customers who are with the mobile operator 'Orange', pay 75 cents per minute to call customers on a different network but pay only 25 cents to send a text...

The reality is that humans are social animals. We are largely whether we would like to agree with it or not influenced by those around us, whether it be attitudes or values. In fact billions of dollars each year are spent by marketing companies to capitalize on our need to socially conform. For example when a wild elephant is to be tamed and trained, the best way to begin is by yoking it to one that has already been through the process. By contact, the wild one comes to see that the condition it is being led toward is not wholly incompatible with being an elephant. I remember a startling example when at college in my first year I had a group of diligent and conscientious friends. All were good...

Audio Book Rental: Read With Your Ears!

Gradually, those people who had recordings of their favorite novels began to branch out and look for further recordings. New sites began to appear on the web where folks could subscribe and then download public domain recordings of novels and stories that were no longer in copyright. At first, these sites had a limited choice of recordings and didn't provide modern fiction and...

As aunt of a preschooler and an aspiring voiceover actress (I knew all those hours of watching Bugs Bunny would come in handy), I know all the kids' shows as well as every kids' DVD out there. My TV Critic column will be a regular family-fare guide to Kids' TV. In my opinion, there's no better way celebrities can recoup their outrageous salaries than entertaining and sometimes educating kids. And They Might Be Giants get the "cooler than Elvis" vote for singing the theme song to one of Playhouse Disney's newest hits, "Higglytown Heroes." For those of you not familiar with all things Higgly (an adjective used as much as "Smurfy" but not, thank Higgles, as a verb), the series centers on a small town...

A cheaper college textbook is an especially good deal for the local bookstore as the profit margins are very healthy. Not that you should really care about how much they make on your purchases. Still , if they were as concerned about your education as they claim, wouldn't they try to keep some prices under control? This is why many colleges try to raise doubt in your mind about getting your materials somewhere else then the local campus store. College administration is not built on the idea of providing the lowest cost service and education. This is why, at least in part, these materials and resources needed to successfully complete a class are so expensive. Don't you want hundreds of extra...

High school students take having free books for granted. Most incoming college freshmen are in for a big shock when they see the price of their new calculus book. That's what my advice is here for. $150 for one book is a lot to swallow, not to mention the $30 lab manual that comes with it. Oh and did you forget the $15 CD too?

So you're looking at spending nearly $750 for books the whole year. In this article I am going to discuss some of the unconventional means of acquiring your books for the semester.

Dragons in the East
While Europe's shining knights spent their lives slaying dragons, the Chinese sought after and worshiped Eastern dragons as the most benevolent, wise, and generous of all creatures. Indeed, to be called "dragon face" was a great honor, and it was believed that emperors received counsel and aid from dragons in times of need.

Pairings between humans and dragons were thought possible, since dragons were capable of changing their shape and size to assume whatever form they desired. Unlike the fierce western dragons who hoarded treasure and demanded virtuous young women as sacrifices, the dragons of Chinese legend showed tenderness...
