Once upon a timeOnce upon a time, many years ago there was a young, ambitious salesman selling flat rolled steel. This energetic young man called on one potentially large account for months and months with zero success. He was going nowhere fast. The only thing he got from the rather large, burly looking professional purchasing agent was frustration. The purchasing agent knew the young salesman was short on experience. The young salesman felt that the purchasing agent actually enjoyed watching him squirm month after month. This young salesman, being enthusiastic and energetic, tried every sales technique he had ever learned. Of course, the scruffy old purchasing agent was familiar with every one of...

How Personalized Child Books Can Be the Key to Faster LearningHave you ever noticed how your child learned his or her name first, before mommy, daddy or anything else you tried to teach him? His name becomes equal to his identity. He immediately becomes more interested in objects and concepts as it relates to him.A children's story book that includes his name will instantly be more meaningful than a run of the mill children's book. Personalized stories with life lessons that include his name and some of the things he loves to do will have that much more of a chance of really sinking in.The more personal information included in the story, the more of an impact it will have on your child.

In the film "Kinsey," when someone suggests a movie of Dr. Alfred Kinsey's book, he replies, tongue in-cheek in-joke, "I can't think of anything more boring." He's almost right.

It used to be that both men and women waited to become first-time homebuyers until they married. They rented or lived at home with parents until Mr. or Ms. Right was found. Today, according to the National Association of Realtors, one in every four home real estate purchases are made by singles, with single women outnumbering the men by two-to-one. The cause is thought to be that many single men in their 20s or early 30s continue to live with their parents until marriage, while single women are more apt to move into rental real estate with friends after college. Additionally, women are marrying later in life, attaining higher educational degrees, and spending more time to establish their careers...

Moving this rectangle allowed the "player" to hit a small ball back and forth between the two players, trying to "play the angle" by hitting it on the edge of your paddle to "give it English" or a sharp angle to score the point. The first "Video Tennis or Ping Pong" game I guess would be a proper reference, in fact it was call "PONG".Two year later, the development of a cartridge-based console called...

Insulin Resistance

We hear a lot about insulin resistance, but stop and think a little bit, do you think our cells only become resistant to insulin? The more hormones your cells are exposed to, the more resistant they will become to almost any hormone. Certain cells more than others, so there is a discrepancy. The problem with hormone resistance is that there is a dichotomy of resistance, that all the cells don't become resistant at the same time.And different hormones affect different cells, and the rate of hormone is different among different cells and this causes lots of problems with the feedback mechanisms. We know that one of the major areas of the body that becomes resistant to many feedback loops is the...

When we are trying to stay alive moment-to-moment we don't think about food choices, supplements, organic farming, animal welfare or environmental issues. Those considerations are a "luxury" dependent upon economic capability. But they are a luxury we must have if we are to live a reflective life and survive on planet Earth.
