  52. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> People these days have various reasons for wanting to start an online business. No matter what type of online venture you plan to start, the steps to do it successfully are pretty much the same. Follow the steps below to get your online business up and running within 24 hours.#1) Turn Your Ideas Into A Solid Business PlanThere&#8217;s an classic saying that says if you haven&#8217;t created a plan, then you already plan to fail. So many people fail to realize how important it is for any business to have a sound written plan. This is also true for conducting business online. When you put your ideas on paper, it helps you see what things you may need to change and whether you ideas are even feasible. You may need some start-up money for your online venture if you want to execute everything that you written in your business plan.#2) Be Sure Your Legal Aspects Are HandledIt&#8217;s easy to forget that an online business is the same as an offline one. You will need to research your local laws to ensure that you are in compliance with any type of laws that may be enforced so that you can operate your business accordingly.#3) Secure The Domain You Want FastOnce you have decided on a domain name for your website, purchase it fast because it could be gone later if you don&#8217;t secure it now. You can simply go to GoDaddy and purchase you domain in no time. When the domain you want has already been taken, try to choose something that is very similar to what your business is about or try to coming up with an entire new domain name. Always have some backup domain names in mind because usually the name you want is already taken. Picking a domain name these days can a lot of creativity.#4) Get Web HostingYour online business will require web hosting which basically will tie to your domain name. The web hosting will host all of your files which will be displayed online. When choosing a web hosting company, be sure to pick one that offers unlimited storage, data transfer and domains so that if you want to create another online business or launch numerous websites later on.#5) Design Your SiteMost web hosting companies offer free website designing tools that you can use right within your hosting account. Another way to get your website designed, is to hire a web designer to create a custom design that will be unique to your online business. Search for sites like Freelancer where you can post a web design job and have a freelancer do it for you.#6) Promote Your WebsiteHaving a marketing plan in place is crucial in order for your online business to be successful. You want your website to be optimized for the search engines so that your website can start getting traffic and you can reach your potential customers.#7) Start A Consumer BaseUtilize the traffic you receive from your marketing campaign to build a consumer base for your online business.#8) Also Promote Your Online Business OfflineJust because your business is online, doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t market it offline as well. Find establishments in your local area that have bulletin boards where you may can promote your online business.#9) Build A Rapport With Your Consumer BaseDo your best to keep your customers happy and satisfied. Nothing beats a loyal customer so do whatever you can to please them as they can help you get more sales through referrals. Repeat business is what keep many businesses alive and profitable. </p>

  84. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I guess the reason you&#8217;re reading this letter now is because you&#8217;re having a hard time composing a self employed resume, well &#8211; all is not lost, let&#8217;s take a look at it together shall we&#8230;To start ones own business takes tenacity, patience and consistent effort even though the initial financial rewards may be small. If you have been self employed for whatever reason and are now in the market for a full time job, listing self employment on you resume can raise concerns for your potential employer.By anticipating these concerns you will be in a much better position to deal with them effectively and turn many of them into positive benefits for your potential employerThese are the main concerns that will raise red flags in the mind of your employer&#8230;* Were you working for yourself in between jobs or because you preferred self employment to working for an organization?* Do you currently still freelance or consult, and would you continue this in addition to your full time job?* Does your self employment present a conflict of interest for the company?* Your potential employer does not want to invest time and money into training you and provide you with benefits only to have you walk off a year later to start your own business?With that in mind, let&#8217;s take a look at the best possible way of listing your self employed work history on your resume.You need to highlight all the positives of being self employed or managing your own business. There is no point in listing infrequent freelance projects on your resume. The only time this may be constructive is to fill in any gaps in your professional work experience.If you have worked as a contractor for more than 3 months or owned your own business, then you should include it on your resume. Remember to highlight the aspects of your self employed period that relate to the requirements of the job that you are seeking.It is important to list your job responsibilities in the same way, focus on the abilities that best meet your career objective and give proof of your achievements when possible. Bring your self starter attitude to the for under your qualifications section of your resume. Make a point of listing all employability skills you have acquired while being self employed.Make sure that you address the expected concerns of your potential employer. Highlight those issues on your resume that may raise concerns and de-fuse them up front in your cover letter. If you have a business of your own and are still looking for a full time job, be sure to clearly explain how you plan to effectively manage your performance at both businesses. Never apologize for being self employedYour resume and cover letter should reflect your credibility and passion as a professional. Showcase all the positive experiences you have acquired and relate them directly to the requirements of the job you want. </p>

  100. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The California labor laws are deemed as one of the most stringent employment laws in the United States. Hence, it is deemed as the most employee-friendly State due to the laws that it has observed to ensure that all benefits are rewarded to the employees. There are complex components in the California labor law, which needs to be fully understood so that employee and employer rights are preserved.For the year 2011, there are some updates to these laws and all employers need to learn about them in order to avoid any legal disputes in the future. Each of the updated sections of the California Constitution are discussed further below:Wage and CompensationThe revised constitution in California indicates that even if employers in California outsource their payroll processing, the latter is still not held liable for any inconsistencies or shortcomings. This is a common business practice utilized by a lot of companies based in California to reduce the overhead costs of hiring their own payroll processing team. In case there are any violations in the wage and hourly policies of the employee, the employer is responsible and held accountable for it, not the outsourced payroll company. This also includes any wages or employees for overtime and meal period.On the other hand, it is a beneficial law for administrative employees being hired to handle outsourced payroll services. These companies are only existing to provide services such as computing withholding tax, issued paychecks, and wages for employees. Thus, payroll preparation does not meet the grounds for making them liable for any of wage problems and disputes filed against the company.Agreements on Employee Compensation The California labor law, with regards to compensation policies and agreements from the employer, is waived only if it meets any of the following conditions:1) the duration of the policy is indefinite or not finalized,<br />
  101. 2) the employer has issued a reasonable notice about changes to the policy, and<br />
  102. 3) it must not intervene with the employee&#8217;s ability to obtain benefits from the company as part of the employment.Any conditions outside of those stipulated above is subject to employer liability. There are more complex concepts involved in this aspect and it is both the employer and employee&#8217;s rights to keep themselves informed as to the scope of the law, especially for this particular component.These are areas of the law that had been revised over the past year. It is important that California-based employers should keep themselves informed about any of these changes, as well as its corresponding consequences to your company and its employees. Make sure that you review the compensation agreement with the help of an employment law firm to preserve your employer rights. Consulting with a legal counsel can provide you with expert advice on all areas of the law that affects your business.The rampant cases of employer liability and legal disputes concerning employer violation, or deprivation of employee benefits, has made such legal counsel services a must. With the stringent California labor laws, it is easy to commit employer liability and you would not want this to happen as you would be in for more trouble. </p>

  118. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> &#8220;Management is more of a benevolent dictatorship as opposed to a democracy.&#8221;<br />
  119. - Bryce&#8217;s LawI evidently hit a nerve in a few of my recent bulletins, specifically:#46 &#8211; The Death of Management &#8211; October 17, 2005<br />
  120. http://www.phmainstreet.com/mba/ss051017.pdf#47 &#8211; Parenting Management &#8211; October 24, 2005<br />
  121. http://www.phmainstreet.com/mba/ss051024.pdf#48 &#8211; The First Thing We Do, Let&#8217;s Kill all the Bean Counters &#8211; October 31, 2005<br />
  122. http://www.phmainstreet.com/mba/ss051031.pdfI want to thank those of you who inundated my e-mail queue and<br />
  123. responded to my blog with your comments and observations regarding<br />
  124. these articles.  From your remarks, it sounds like there is little management<br />
  125. being applied in the area of Information Technology or in the corporate<br />
  126. world in general.  I jokingly refer to the absence of management in<br />
  127. the workplace as Theory Zero (0), but perhaps it is time to revisit the three<br />
  128. accepted theories of management and see what is actually being used.THE THREE THEORIES OF MANAGEMENTBefore we begin, let us not forget that all of our actions are based<br />
  129. on human perceptions, whether they be real of fallacious.  Consequently, the<br />
  130. three theories of management are based on perceptions, e.g., how we<br />
  131. perceive the character of our workers.  If we believe people will act or react<br />
  132. to certain situations in a specific way, we will use this in our management<br />
  133. philosophy, be it brute force, carrot-and-stick, or permitting freewill.  From<br />
  134. this basis, let&#8217;s consider how the three theories apply:THEORY X (&#8220;Dictatorial Management&#8221;) &#8211; This is derived from &#8220;Scientific<br />
  135. Management,&#8221; a  concept best illustrated by the time-and-motion studies of a<br />
  136. late nineteenth century industrial engineer named Frederick W.<br />
  137. Taylor.  Taylor observed the workers  under his supervision at the Midvale<br />
  138. Steel Company in Philadelphia brought their own shovels to work regardless<br />
  139. of what size coal lumps they would have to shovel.  He suggested to<br />
  140. management that the company furnish shovels corresponding to the size<br />
  141. and weight of the individual load, thus increasing the total amount<br />
  142. of coal each worker could shovel in a day.  Efficiency and production,<br />
  143. the Theory X cornerstone, led to the assembly line and industrial production.The philosophy of Theory X management style is based on the view of<br />
  144. human nature as:1.  People have a natural aversion to work.2.  People need to be coerced, controlled, and threatened with punishment to get them to put forth adequate effort toward the achievement of company goals.3.  The average person prefers to be directed, wishes to avoid responsibility, has little ambition, and wants security most.Theorists now ask how much of this behavior described is<br />
  145. inherent human nature and how much is behavior learned from<br />
  146. bosses who manage with those assumptions.  Perhaps the<br />
  147. assumptions become self-validating:  workers who are always<br />
  148. treated by an authoritarian management as though they were lazy,<br />
  149. tend to behave that way.THEORY Y (&#8220;Participatory Management&#8221;) &#8211; Most observers agree that<br />
  150. the Theory Y management philosophy was derived from a series of<br />
  151. experiments in the  1930&#8242;s at the Western Electronic Hawthorne Works<br />
  152. in Chicago.  Employees had been divided into two groups:  a &#8220;test&#8221; group<br />
  153. that worked under changing lighting conditions and a &#8220;control&#8221; group<br />
  154. that worked under constant lighting.  When the test group&#8217;s<br />
  155. light conditions improved, their productivity increased, as<br />
  156. expected.  But what mystified researchers was a similar jump in<br />
  157. productivity when illumination worsened.  To compound the<br />
  158. mystery, the control group&#8217;s output rose when the test group&#8217;s<br />
  159. did.  It was concluded that both groups felt management was giving<br />
  160. them special attention and so responded with improved<br />
  161. performance.  This discovery of human relations management was<br />
  162. called Theory Y.Theory Y&#8217;s assumptions represent a much more positive<br />
  163. assessment of human behavior and gave rise to the thousands<br />
  164. of mentoring and management training programs in the 1960&#8242;s and<br />
  165. 70&#8242;s, the purposes of which were to help managers change their<br />
  166. assumptions of human nature from a Theory X to a Theory Y<br />
  167. outlook.  The basic premises of Theory Y include:1.  The expenditure of physical and mental effort in work is as natural as play or rest.2.  External control and threat of punishment are not the only means for bringing about effort toward corporate goals.  People will exercise self-direction and self-control to achieve goals they find important.3.  Commitment to objectives is in proportion to the rewards associated with their achievement.4.  The average human being learns under proper conditions not only to accept but to seek responsibility.5.  The capacity to exercise a relatively high degree of imagination, ingenuity, and creativity in solving work problems is widely, not narrowly, present in the population.6.  Under the conditions of modern industrial life, the brain power of the average human is only partially utilized.THEORY Z  (&#8220;Group Involvement&#8221;) &#8211; Theory Z was introduced in<br />
  168. 1981 by UCLA Professor Dr. William Ouchi in his book of the same<br />
  169. name.  It is based on Ouchi&#8217;s observations of Japanese management<br />
  170. practices of the time.  Basically, Theory Z promotes employee<br />
  171. participation in decision-making, thereby increasing their motivation<br />
  172. and productivity.  This management style emphasizes long range<br />
  173. planning, consensus decision making, and neutral worker-employee loyalty.Ouchi concludes that Japanese managers got more out of<br />
  174. their employees than U.S. managers because the whole structure<br />
  175. of Japanese society encourages mutual trust and cooperation.    This<br />
  176. management philosophy is based on the following assumptions:1.  Long term, even life time, employment is expected by both managers and employees.2.  Employees need freedom and opportunity to &#8220;grow.&#8221;3.  Decisions should be group decisions involving workers and managers.4.  Subordinates are whole people at work (in contrast to being thought of as titles or units of production).5.  Management has a broad concern for subordinate welfare.6.  Open communication, both vertically and horizontally, is the norm.7.  There is complete trust among groups and individuals because they all have the same goals &#8211; the good of the organization.8.  Cooperation, not competition, is the basis for relationships within the company.We have been conducting business in Japan since 1976 and have<br />
  177. personally seen Theory Z in action.  For example, when we sold our<br />
  178. &#8220;PRIDE&#8221; Methodologies in Japan, we would have to make several<br />
  179. sales presentations to a single company in order for all of the affected parties<br />
  180. to reach a consensus as to whether this was the correct course of action<br />
  181. for the company to pursue.  After several months of deliberations, we<br />
  182. would finally get a contract.  Contrast this to American companies where we<br />
  183. would make a single sales presentation to top management and close<br />
  184. on the sale within a few days or weeks.  However, to the credit of the Japanese,<br />
  185. because everyone approved of the purchase, they all made an effort<br />
  186. to successfully install and use it; if they failed, they would &#8220;lose face.&#8221;  Western<br />
  187. managers, on the other hand, would shove the product down people&#8217;s<br />
  188. throats (a la Theory X), thereby the methodologies were viewed as the will<br />
  189. of a single person and not the company overall.  Consequently, when the<br />
  190. manager left the company, &#8220;PRIDE&#8221; followed shortly behind.WHICH IS BETTER?Most managers favor Theory X, others Theory Y.  A few are likely to become<br />
  191. Theory Z managers.  Most, however, use some combination of the three.  There<br />
  192. is no &#8220;right&#8221; style of  management because the appropriate style depends on<br />
  193. the kind of people you employ and the kind of business you run.But what is the current trend?  During the second half of the 20th century<br />
  194. there was a definite movement from Theory X to Theory Y.  But now it appears<br />
  195. the pendulum is swinging back to Theory X.  As mentioned in my &#8220;Bean counter&#8221;<br />
  196. article, mentoring and employee training programs (a cornerstone of Theory Y) is<br />
  197. being phased out as a means of cutting costs.  Further, under the &#8220;Parenting<br />
  198. Management&#8221; scenario, younger employees need considerably more supervision<br />
  199. and direction, which lends itself to a Theory X philosophy.Even Theory Z in Japan is showing signs of erosion.  Although the Japanese<br />
  200. economy ran well in the 1980&#8242;s, it has slowed considerably over the last<br />
  201. fifteen years, causing the Japanese to rethink how they compete and<br />
  202. conduct business in a fast-paced world economy.  Japanese managers realize<br />
  203. they no longer have the luxury of waiting months to make a group decision<br />
  204. and although they still wish to be loyal to the workforce, they realize certain<br />
  205. sacrifices are inevitable.  Further, thanks to Hollywood and the Internet, younger<br />
  206. Japanese workers no longer share the same values as their predecessors.  Frankly,<br />
  207. they have picked up a lot of bad work habits from their Western counterparts.  Concepts<br />
  208. such as lifetime employment, corporate loyalty, and hard work is slowly evaporating<br />
  209. from the Japanese business culture.BACK TO PERCEPTIONSHow we elect to manage others or how we elect to be managed is based on our<br />
  210. perceptions.  For example, if we believe a person to be lazy, we will apply<br />
  211. a Theory X style of management.  But if we believe people are responsible,<br />
  212. take initiative, and are successful, then Theories Y and Z are used.As I mentioned in &#8220;Parenting Management,&#8221; a generation gap has emerged<br />
  213. between management and the latest generation of workers.  Management<br />
  214. perceives today&#8217;s young workers as immature, disorganized, undisciplined,<br />
  215. and shirk responsibility.  Whether this is true or not is immaterial.  It is perceptions<br />
  216. that count.  Because of this, it should come as no small wonder that Theory X<br />
  217. management practices are on the rise again.For those younger workers who are as frustrated with management as<br />
  218. management is with you, the only advice I can offer is that you make a<br />
  219. concerted effort to improve your interpersonal relations/communications<br />
  220. skills.  If you have garnered anything from this article, it is that appearances<br />
  221. are extremely important.  Your physical appearance, forms of speech and<br />
  222. conduct all play a significant role in how you are perceived by management.  Are<br />
  223. you someone who is bright but doesn&#8217;t know how to apply your skills, or do<br />
  224. you have a proven track record for performance?  In other words, it is<br />
  225. time to grow up.  As President Calvin Coolidge observed years ago:&#8221;Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.<br />
  226. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men<br />
  227. with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a<br />
  228. proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated<br />
  229. derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.<br />
  230. The slogan &#8216;Press On&#8217; has solved and always will solve the<br />
  231. problems of the human race.&#8221;CONCLUSIONManagement is more of a benevolent dictatorship as opposed to a democracy.  It<br />
  232. operates according to its own whims.  If management wants to be tyrannical, it<br />
  233. will.  If it wants to allow group participation, it will.  And if it elects to do nothing,<br />
  234. it will.  But understand this, management&#8217;s style is based on what the manager<br />
  235. believes is good for the company and how they perceive their workers.  Sometimes<br />
  236. the actions of management will seem strange and without justification.  But there<br />
  237. may be some very rational reasons for acting as such, perhaps for strategic or<br />
  238. tactical purposes.  There is little the worker can do in this regards aside from<br />
  239. mutiny, which is rarely the proper decision.  To overcome this problem,<br />
  240. it behooves management to promote loyalty and faith in judgment.Management is about human relations, not numbers.  If a manager stands by a<br />
  241. worker in the face of adversity, in all likelihood he will be building a good<br />
  242. employee for the company&#8217;s future.  In return, the employee should pledge<br />
  243. allegiance to the manager.  Years ago, I remember Les Matthies, the legendary<br />
  244. &#8220;Dean of Systems,&#8221; taught me that a man should always be loyal to his manager<br />
  245. while he is in his employment.  If the worker doesn&#8217;t like the manager, he should<br />
  246. either curb his tongue or get out.  Only after the worker has left, should he talk<br />
  247. trash about his manager and even then he should think twice about doing so.Bottom-line, the manager&#8217;s style of management is based on his perceptions<br />
  248. of his workers, right or wrong.  If the worker believes he is not being treated<br />
  249. fairly perhaps it is time to reexamine his relationship with the manager.  And<br />
  250. that reexamination begins at the mirror.  Do you perform enough work to just<br />
  251. get by or do you strive to achieve?  Do you prefer to be told what to do or are you<br />
  252. self-motivated?  Do you dress appropriately?  What about your form of speech<br />
  253. and mannerisms?  Habits?  Remember, we as human-beings act on our<br />
  254. perceptions.  Want to know where you are going in the company?  Ask<br />
  255. yourself, &#8220;How am I perceived?&#8221;For additional information on Theories X, Y, and Z, see:http://www.businessballs.com/mcgregor.htm </p>

  271. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The modern day world is a fast-paced one, where people are juggling with various task in the limited time they have. Everyone in their own unique way is trying to push the envelope a little bit further. The physical work that entails these gruesome schedules has the ability to take away steam from even the healthiest of bodies. The dose of modern day technologies has made a lot of task easier, but at the same time the electro-magnetic waves emitted by these fancy devices have an adverse effect on the body of an ordinary unsuspecting human being. Study has revealed that the human body is more electrically charged than ever. Body massages, as mentioned in the vintage Hindu scriptures, are a good way to relax an overworked and a tired body.However technology may have reduced the physical work of the modern-day man, the mental stress has more or less persisted for the better part of the equation. The mental stress generated by time-limiting schedules is no less than the stress experienced by a soldier post-combat. The analogy may not suffice but the symptoms do.Recent health surveys around the world have come with damning results, most blaming stress as the second most cause of lifestyles diseases. Most health experts are of the view that getting a full body massage is the most prudent therapy which a stressed person can avail at a spa. Getting a body massage or parts of your body massaged in a spa and salon has more than one advantage. A body massage is completely free of any side effects whatsoever. Almost all people appreciate a body massage after a tiring and stressful day.Finding a spa in Mumbai and getting yourself a massage is not a difficult task either. It replenishes and refurbishes the body system with the lost energy. A body massage at any spa in Mumbai will help in resetting the circulatory system in the order it ought to be. Doing so, ensures that all the key parts of the body gets the required amount of oxygenated blood; and at the same time amino acid is completely eliminated from every possible body cell, giving the body and mind a lighter feel.Thus, it can be safely asserted that it is a very useful and scientific way of getting rid of the work pressure and stress out of the body. There are many types of body massages available at any spa and salon in Mumbai; it is up to the individual to decide the one which best suits him/her. In order to learn more about these massages one can also refer to the internet space where they can find a repository of information. </p>

  287. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> We&#8217;ve all heard about juice fasting, raw foods, colonics and the body detox.So what&#8217;s a Mental or Spiritual Detox?Detox is a strange phrase to use really for the mind and spirit. Detox is used more commonly with a physical cleanse, to purify the body of accumulated wastes and toxins we consume so our body functions better and we feel more alive and energised.When we talk about a mental or spiritual detox we are really talking about our life. What we&#8217;ve been experiencing in our lives, how well we have digested it, how much of the past is still hanging around in our system and effecting our mental and spiritual wellbeing. We may not even be consciously aware of what events in the past are causing us to think and behave in certain ways.A mental and spiritual detox is therefore about cleansing our energy system, releasing emotions and stress past and present which is held as blockages in our human energy system, stopping its healthy functioning of feeling alive, bright, happy, free and loving life, the way we are meant to be feeling.My favourite tools for unblocking and cleansing our energy system of the stuck energies of life are EFT and EmoTrance. With EFT we tap acupressure points until all that energy releases and our distress old or new melts away leaving inner calm and relaxation. With EmoTrance we pay attention to the physical feelings on the body and we &#8216;soften and flow&#8217; them away with our intention and healing hands.Having been a Colonic Therapist and Master Herbalist for several years I have understood well how physical blockage can cause physical health problems and that natural healing is about getting the body processes flowing again and putting the right fuel in. Basically, the right nutrition plus removing blockages to create flow allows the body to heal itself.As a practitioner in energy psychology I see it&#8217;s the same process. We simply find where our energy is blocked, accessing this by our disturbing emotions and feelings about life, and we simply help the energy to flow and release to feel the good feelings about life.Physically or spiritually&#8230;. and mentally it&#8217;s all about plumbing! It&#8217;s all about restoring the flow and putting good nutrition into the system.Physically that&#8217;s the food we eat. Spiritually, that&#8217;s the life we are living.So what&#8217;s the best fuel?Physically its fresh fruits and vegetables, and natural wholefoods.Spiritually its people, relationships, our work, nature, life and love, love being the ultimate superfood for the soul!So, our healing retreats are all about cleansing out the old, creating flow within, and putting great fuel into our system&#8230;.not just for the physical you, but for the whole you.Such a simple recipe for health and happiness! It works and we do it on our detox healing retreats in Egypt and the UK! </p>

  302. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> There are millions and millions of travelers around the world who prefer to put through their vacations in India each year. The reasons are innumerable and countless, some may be those in search of spiritual peace and harmony. Travelers around the world take a lot of time to plan for their incredible India Tour or for celebrating holidays in India. Most of the times, an India tour is regarded a long tradition in some families especially in the western countries due to its historical connection. Nevertheless, there are also some families that choose not to take a tour to India. This attitude of the travelers is at peak especially during the time of terror attack. As peace is one of the first conditions to blossom the tour and travel industry. Another reason of apathetic attitude of the travelers is lack of basic infrastructure required for the tourism compared to other developed countries of the world. What is more required is the professional training to the local people as a part of responsible tourism. In spite of all these troubles, millions and millions of travelers are coming each year to this world destination called Incredible India!On the other hand, India tour operators are required to offer the cheap tour packages to increase the volume of the travelers. While tailoring the family travel packages, India travel agent should keep in mind the budget of the below middle class family as per international norms. If the tour and travel packages will become cheaper, this will also lead to the cultural interaction among the various nations of the world. Travelers will know more and more about the culture, history, geography, customs, traditions, nature&#8217;s splendors etc. if all governments of the courtiers come together to make special provision or to assist the private tour operators to provide the cheapest travel packages to create an environment of the positive word tourism.However, travelers coming to India find the travel packages that suit their budget especially while they are making holidays with their family. There are number of flights coming to India offer cheap air tickets. Even the travel agents in India offer the cheapest air tickets to the travelers via their high-tech travel portal. This may have the positive impact in the business of Indian tourism industry where an effort is being made to include a new class in the lines air travelers. The below middle class segment of the society can afford the rates offered to travel by air in India. So, when looking at the cost of a family tour to India, the travelers will find the numerous tourist destinations in India where they can have vacation with the family and friends or groups.The same tendency of cheapest rate, travelers can find while searching for hotels in India. There are numerous budget hotels available in all the major tourist destinations of India. Normally three star hotels of India are believed to the budget hotels. In this area also, the Ministry of Tourism, IRCTC, India tour operators besides Corporate in hotel industry come together to provide all possible hospitality to the tourists coming from all parts of the world. For the easiness of the customers, the India travel agents via their travel site incorporate almost all types of hotels into their travel directory to offer the best services at budget rate available at the time of online hotel booking. In India, TravelChaCha has come out as one stop shop for all kinds of travel services.Swamped into royal grandness and lasting legacy it has more than lots to tender tourists with unbeatable monuments and elegant palaces that grandly stand to recount the saga of bygone era, glorious past, rich cultural heritage, colorful culture &#038; tradition, majestic monuments, wonderful forts, impressive palaces, tremendous temples, historical cities, rustic villages, shimmering sand dunes, exciting desert safaris, camel ride, forest safari, mountains, lakes, wildlife sanctuaries, national parks and much more. So, these are emerging positive aspects in the evolutionary process of Incredible India which has to become the hub of travel and tourism in the list of world tourism. </p>

  317. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> All working people face unexpected difficulty once in a while. If your salary barely covers your exact financial needs every payday, any unplanned expenses can cripple and leave you in deep financial distress. This happens when financial emergencies occur like: a busted kitchen sink, a house heater needing repair, a leaking pipe, and other minor accidents at home that has to be attended to immediately.Payday loans are one option that you can avail of when these situations occur. In times of extreme financial need, these types of loans can be resorted to as a stop-gap measure to help tide you over the hard times. What then are payday loans? These are otherwise known as cash advance loan, which covers cash emergencies in between paydays. The requirements are basically simple, and availment is quick. However, there are things that you need to know before getting a payday loan, to wit:1. These loans have higher APR&#8217;s (Annual Percentage Rate) than regular bank loans. The term is short &#8211; the next payday, or roughly around two weeks. Hence, you should not borrow what you cannot comfortably afford to pay the next pay day. Most lenders charge 15% interest for two (2) weeks. Hence, if you borrow $300, you need to pay $345 in two (2) weeks. The effective interest rate of that loan spirals to around 391% per annum, exclusive still of other financing charges. If you are unable to pay at due date, you will be charged an additional $45 plus financing fees for rolling over the loan.The payday loans have a short maturing period and would be quite expensive if not paid on time. Interest rates are going to shoot up in such levels that paying would become untenable at some future time. Hence, you should only avail of these loans in times of emergencies and in an amount that you can well afford to pay the next payday.2. The requirement for this loan is quite simple. The payday lender would require you to submit a proof of income, pay stubs, and a valid identification card with photo. You have to submit an application for loan request that would state the amount that you want to borrow, plus interest fees and other financing charges. The payday lender would furnish you a copy of their legal documents that you need to sign. The terms of the loan agreement will be stated which includes: the loan amount, interest rate and financing charges, loan maturity, roll-over fees, among others. You need to issue a postdated check (PDC) to the lender to cover the payment of the loan on maturity date. After all documentation is signed and receipt of the PDC by the lender, cash is given to the borrower corresponding to the amount applied for.3. You should always consider that payday loans are not modes of regular personal financing. These types of loans can be quite expensive if not paid on time. The rollover cost leads to an upward spiral that can make payment untenable. One thing to remember is that, in payday loans the lender would exert all legal means to exact payment if the PDC you issued bounced on due date. You may have to shell out the cash to fund the bounced check to avoid costly litigation battles later on.Where to find payday loan lenders?You can find reputable lenders in various states. Most regular lenders offer payday loans in their pool of financing services. You can search these payday loan lenders from your state and talk to them personally as regards their financing fees and charges. Most states require that lenders give this information to prospective borrowers. You can check on the credibility of these lenders through various government agencies for any complaints regarding fraud or scamming.There are many materials online that can help you understand about payday loans. There are also some lending institutions that process loan requests online. It is suggested however, that you go into online forums to better understand the mechanics of payday loans. Going to said forums would enable you to find a reputable lender that you can do business with, when times get rough! </p>

  332. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Designing your very own herb garden does not have to be a difficult task. When one thinks of herb garden designs he or she may think of sketch pads to draw out a plan and blueprints; but, this does not have to be the case, although if you choose you can opt for this method.Designing an herb garden can be lots of fun and you can customize it to your particular needs. Although a lot of planning is not required there is some planning that will obviously need to be accomplished. Just like with anything else, what you put into a thing is what you will get out of it. So, a little patience and thought will go a long way with designing your garden.In this article we will discuss several different types of herb garden designs. When conceptualizing your garden you want to make sure that you include elements that have meaning to you, things you like or have some sort of connection or attraction to. Personalization is the key to making it your own and you can spend as much or as little time on your design as you like.In this articles we will discuss a few garden designs that may give you some helpful ideas and added assistance to help you achieve your very own personalized design.Butterfly Garden DesignIf you love butterflies and want to attract them to your garden then you want to design your garden with this theme so that you can attract them. Butterflies love flowers and are naturally attracted to them for the nectar that the flowers produce. So, to attract butterflies to your butterfly garden you will want to plant different flowers throughout your theme such as azalea, butterfly weed, marigold, lilac, butterfly bush, nettles, dogbane, thistles and milkweed.In a butterfly garden you may also want to include a water source for your butterflies like a fountain or some nice bowls for them to indulge in. Also, it would be great to have rocks for your butterflies to rest on and a nice bench or rocking chair for you to sit and enjoy your garden.Zen Garden DesignA zen garden would be a great garden to design for those who love meditating. The monks used and cultivated a zen garden for this purpose. Zen gardens should bring oneness and harmony to the individual that is using it. The flowers that you choose should be suitable for your climate. Rocks are a very essential element for a zen garden as it represents energy and time and adds depth to your garden. Once your zen garden is completed and you have made it your own, this is a place where you will always wan to escape to.Cottage Garden DesignA cottage garden can be cultivated around just about anything. This type of garden can bring beauty, serenity, comfort and romance to ones mind. This garden is not limited to a one particular space but have partitions of its beauty in many areas of ones landscape. A cottage garden is very unorthodox and requires more planning and maintenance than the aforementioned garden designs that we have discussed so thus far.Designing your very own garden can be an exciting and truly fulfilling experience that can last a lifetime for both the experienced or novice gardener. So, go ahead and take a plunge at designing that garden that you never imagined you could. Happy gardening! </p>
