		<description><![CDATA[One of the great myths associated with the "American Dream" is that you need to have a four-year college degree to be successful. As the economy has shifted to the information age, with a greater reliance on technology and services, this belief applies less and less. The new economy relies on technology more than any time in the past. In fact 70% of existing jobs require specific technical knowledge and this technology is being applied in newly created industries like biometrics, homeland security, nanotechnology and reusable energy. Eighty percent of existing jobs don't require a four-year degree, while only 25% of students who begin college actually graduate. Of those who do graduate, 30% don't get a job that actually requires a degree! The solution to these issues for many graduating high school seniors and workers unsatisfied with their current careers rests in a specialty technical school. These schools provide specific technical training in a variety of career fields. Career training courses take less than four years to complete, most take less than two. These schools offer online and night courses, so you can have a job or a family and the best part is graduates earn 50% more than high school graduates. Here is a list of ten great careers that offer high employment prospects and competitive pay.

		<description><![CDATA[The GD&T Potential Savings Calculator is the latest in a series of free resources available from Effective Training. The calculator is a tool that helps companies understand the amount of unnecessary expenditures each year due to employees who don't know how to correctly apply and interpret geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). It is offered exclusively at ETI's website (www.etinews.com/calculator).The calculator is a one-of-a-kind tool developed by ETI to help companies realize the true value of utilizing GD&T correctly throughout the design and manufacturing process. It analyzes the costs associated with creating, interpreting and revising drawings, as well as the price of communicating or interpreting design requirements for suppliers and manufacturing. It also factors in many other manufacturing expenses associated with the revisions to fixtures, tooling, and gages that result from poor drawings. The calculator can be used at the company, division, department or project level. Tool tips provide assistance with understanding data entry. "Used correctly, GD&T decreases time spent creating and interpreting drawings by 30-50%," said Alex Krulikowski, GD&T expert and ETI president. "Drawing changes are reduced by 50% through the use of proper tolerance analysis, clear concise drawings, and understanding how to correctly determine tolerance values. Used properly on drawings, GD&T results in a decreased cost for gages, manufacturing fixtures and tooling, workpiece rework, scrap, warranty costs, and major plant problems. The GD&T Potential Savings Calculator factors all of these elements and displays a detailed estimate of an organization's potential savings with proper GD&T application. Companies who try it will be amazed at the impact GD&T will have on their ability to cut costs."After estimating how much money the proper application of GD&T can save a company annually, the calculator compares that figure with an approximate cost to provide employees with training in GD&T fundamentals, advanced concepts, and tolerance stacks. These courses constitute a core education in GD&T, but ETI also offers classes in Statistical Tolerance Stacks, an ASME/ISO Comparison, and Solid Model Tolerancing (Y14.41-2003).ETI has been in the GD&T training business for 20 years. They provide hands-on workshops at locations around the world. ETI offers skills testing with every workshop, and all of their courses can be customized to include a company's drawings and parts. For more information about GD&T, visit their website (www.etinews.com). To inquire about a custom training program, call 800-886-0909.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How or why some people excell at Network Marketing, while others struggle is not as complicated of a question as many would think.After researching the reasons why, I have came to the conclusion that there is a common set of personality traits that a successful person possesses.1. Determination: I have found that individuals who have decided to become self-employed either "in the real world" or "on the internet" are a determined group. Once they become comfortable with the area they have chosen, they pursue it endlessly. The ups and downs of any business can be enough for you to throw in the towel. Being self-employed is not as easy as a task as some imagine when they first decide "I can do this"2. Motivation: Okay, now you have convinced yourself that you can do this. In the beginning your emotions run on high speed. You advertise, build networks, and spend long hours working each day. Successful Network Marketers do not need a pat on the back every day. They assess what they have or have not accomplished. They go with the flow, they except change as a natural progression of the business.3. Self-confidence. As changes occur successful Network Marketers assess the changes that need to be made to stay in the "pack" They are knowledge seeking individuals, who will take that "extra step" to gain the information they need to stay on top of their business. They are not afraid to seek out the professionals and ask questions.4. People-Oriented: Being able to communicate, provide training and services to your customers. Successful Network Marketers have the ability to communicate to their customers. They have gained the knowledge, therefore they are the experts in their field. They provide the training and support their customers need to be successful. They go the "extra mile", they direct, motivate and support their customers.So in conclusion, the reasons why some people are successful and some fail is dependent on how an individual approaches their business.

		<description><![CDATA[Ask someone their reason for getting a massage and you're likely to hear "because it feels good".   We all know that a massage can relieve stress, help to make sore muscles feel better and even reduce anxiety, but can it help us achieve our fitness goals? Research shows that the massage you get to relieve stress can also have a positive effect on your muscle-building capabilities and fitness level.1. Massage improves circulation and general nutrition of muscles. This appears to be the most valuable fitness-related benefit.  Massage is accompanied or followed by an increase interchange of substances between the blood the tissue cells, which increases tissue metabolism.  After a muscle is exercised, vital nutrients must be supplied in order for it to increase in size.  Massage maximizes the supply of nutrients and oxygen though increased blood flow, which helps the body rebuild itself.2. Massage improves the range of motion and muscle flexibility.  This results in increased power and performance, which helps you work efficiently and with proper intensity to facilitate the body's muscle-building response. 3. Massage helps to shorten recovery time between workouts.   Waste products such as lactic and carbonic acid build up in muscles after exercise.  Increased circulation to these muscles help to eliminate toxic debris and shorten recovery time.4. Massage can help prevent over-training. Massage has a relaxing effect on the muscles, as well as a sedative effect on the nervous system.  This can prevent over-training syndrome which has limiting effect on muscle building.5. Massage may aid in fat loss.  According to some research, massage may burst the fat capsule in subcutaneous tissue so that the fat exudes and becomes absorbed.  In this way, combined with proper nutrition, massage may help in weight loss.6. Massage helps prevent and even heal injuries.  By stretching connective tissue, massage improves circulation to help prevent or break down adhesions.  Massage also influences the excretion of certain fluids (nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur) necessary for tissue repair.While a massage won't build muscle directly, it helps to facilitate the body's rebuilding phase following a workout and influences muscular growth. Getting a massage is just as important as regular workouts and supportive nutrition for a comprehensive fitness program.  Great news for those of us who thought building a great body was all hard work!Before making an appointment with the first massage therapist you encounter, however, be sure they are a qualified bodywork practitioner.  Ask for referrals, professional training information, and certification credentials from a reputable agency, such as the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The aim for beginners to weight training must be to lay the foundations for the intensive workouts that their bodies will eventually be subjected to. Obviously successful bodybuilding involves bringing together disparate elements such as nutrition and rest but choosing the right exercises is crucial. In this article we'll outline the machine exercises that will enable new bodybuilders to develop the general strength and body conditioning needed.Initially beginners should aim to complete two sets of ten to twelve reps but after a few weeks, when you have developed sufficient control and basic strength, experiment with one set of six to eight reps to failure. This will maximize your muscle growth and give you the impetus to move on to the next stage of development. Before long you'll find the use of this single piece of equipment restricting, so later in this series of articles we'll pull together a muscle boosting program that utilizes other equipment to take you to the intermediate level. In the meantime, get to work with these exercises in order to get used to working your muscles.Start off training four days per week and work body parts on the following basis not forgetting to incorporate rest days:Day 1 - Biceps, Back, AbsDay 2- Hamstrings, Shoulders, AbsDay 3 - Quads, Forearms, CalvesDay 4 - Triceps, Chest, AbsThe exercises recommended for beginners are as follows:CHEST: Chest pressUPPER BACK: Lat pulldown, cable rowSHOULDERS: Shoulder press, upright row, cable shrug, lateral raise, front raiseTRICEPS: Kickback, pushdownBICEPS: Standing curlLOWER BODY: Leg press, leg extension, calf raise, lying leg curl. ]]></description>

Before long you'll find the use of this single piece of equipment restricting, so later in this series of articles we'll pull together a muscle boosting program that utilizes other equipment to take you to the intermediate level. </P><P>In the meantime, get to work with these exercises in order to get used to working your muscles.Start off training four days per week and work body parts on the following basis not forgetting to incorporate rest days:Day 1 - Biceps, Back, AbsDay 2- Hamstrings, Shoulders, AbsDay 3 - Quads, Forearms, CalvesDay 4 - Triceps, Chest, AbsThe exercises recommended for beginners are as follows:CHEST: Chest pressUPPER BACK: Lat pulldown, cable rowSHOULDERS: Shoulder press, upright row, cable shrug, lateral raise, front raiseTRICEPS: Kickback, pushdownBICEPS: Standing curlLOWER BODY: Leg press, leg extension, calf raise, lying leg curl. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[Learn the secrets that make the masters great speakers. Paul HarveyBill ClintonLarry KingAnd more?(1) - Learn specifically how Clinton "connects" with his audience (no matter if its 100,000 people or only 10 ? he imagines speaking as though he were having a conversation with a single individual.)(2) - Learn the importance of telling stories like Larry King, (even if you're the CEO of a financial institution ? stories get remembered and are interesting to your audience.  The key to story telling is using actual dialogue, describing the setting, and of course, linking the story to your message.)(3) - Pause when you speak, like Paul Harvey, to overpower your audience.  (Even the great speakers lose their place when giving a speech.  But if pause, look at your audience with conviction, like you just said something of great importance, they'll never know you lost your place) Did you know Public Speaking is the number one fear people have?TJ Walker helps people overcome their fear, and has helped thousands of CEO's, executives, and politicians communicate more effectively ? Now he is promoting his new book and offering amazing incentives (valued at over $1500) for the purchase of his book on a specific date.  To learn more about this offer visit (www.mediatrainingworldwide.com/gifts.html)Below is an excerpt from "Presentation Training A-Z".The Evolution Of Bush, The SpeakerRegardless of what you think of President George W. Bush's policies or personality, he has clearly evolved as a public speaker during the last four years. Bush is still quite shaky in press conference and TV interview situations, but he has improved dramatically in his prepared speeches. When Bush first started running for President in 1999 and early 2000, he often raced through his speeches, never pausing, tripping over words in the process and robbing them of any emotion. He took these flaws into the Oval Office his first year. He also used the TelePrompTer poorly. He committed the beginner's blunder of reading too quickly, not varying speed, and not moving his head enough.The turning point for Bush's presidency was after 9-11 when he stood atop the rubble with a megaphone and shouted down, "I hear you, and all of America hears you?." It was unscripted; therefore, it sounded conversational, emotional, and real. It helped Bush connect with many citizens. Another turning point came for Bush during the 2004 campaign. Bush gave the same campaign speech at many locations around the country, so Bush developed a comfort with the content to the point where he didn't feel he had to read it. The President was then able to speak in a more conversational manner. Specifically, he put in a lot more pauses, and he sometimes spoke faster, sometimes slower, sometimes louder, and sometimes softer because this is what all good speakers do regularly.It's unlikely that Bush will ever be compared favorably to Reagan or Clinton as a speaker, but he has shown that it is possible for anyone to improve basic speaking skills through practice and the use of simple techniques like pausing more frequently.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was potty training my two young boys, I discovered this method of potty training that made it an enjoyable, yet very effective way to potty train toddlers.First, make sure your child is ready for potty training, shows interest, wants "big kids pants" etc.  If they show no signs of readiness, it may be best to let them mature a bit more.  Make this a game, make it fun and you will not run into stubborn opposition (after all it is the child's body). Go out and buy or find around the house items you don't normally let your child play with.  Some examples might be toys that can be used in water (3 or 4 things), like little plastic pitchers, balls, tiny cups, whatever, but make them SPECIAL. The only real rule to this game is these special "potty" toys can only be played with while the child is sitting on the potty!  This is very important; no breaking this one rule, or it won't work. Once the child is sitting on the potty fill a large bowl or small bucket with lukewarm or tepid water, place the new "potty" toys in the bowl and set the bowl of water in front of the child. On the floor if the potty seat is low, or if it's a potty seat that sits on top of the regular toilet, set the bowl of water on a TV tray or something that provides a step, in front of the child. When the child places his/her hands in the lukewarm water to play with the toys, if the child needs to physically go, they nearly instantly go potty (it's almost an instinctive type of physical reaction), then cheer, cheer, cheer! Give lots of praise, and if you wish to give some type of a treat, go ahead. Let them play as long as they want, as long as they sit on the potty. When they are done playing, put the toys away for next time. This is really great because it makes it fun for them so they cooperate, it totally ends all power struggles, and also no more waiting and waiting for them to go only to have them go potty as soon as the diaper goes back on. They also feel good because they have immediate success.  Potty training no. 2 was more difficult I found, that just came with some time and patience and them learning in their own space and way, relax, it will happen. Do you want to know how I get this idea? It's kind of a funny thing, my husband used to be in the military and when he was young in boot camp they used to always play jokes on each other in the night by dipping the hand of someone who was sleeping, into a pan of lukewarm water, thus making the person wet the bed. It just seemed like a natural progression to use this trick for good use in the potty training area and it worked great!. ]]></description>
