10 ways to significantly increase your income
There are a bunch of ways to increase our incomes. Whether we are business owners, startups or employees the principals are the same. So here's a list of 10 things we can do (starting tomorrow) to boost the income we receive from whatever we do.
- Learn or improve our public speaking skills - Our ability to sell ourselves and anything verbally is still the number skill in business. Anyone who can speak in private, can speak in public – it just takes practice. There are tricks we can learn and if we learn them what we earn will increase dramatically.
- Write a blog – If we write a blog on what you do it has a wondrous way of increasing our knowledge bank, our reputation and builds a verifiable asset we can use to sell our credentials. All I can say is that of all the things I've done in my life, blogging has created more economic benefit for me than anything else. You'll only know how this happens if you have faith and do it.
- Keep your body in good shape - I believe it has two important ways it impacts our earning potential. Firstly a fit body has a brain that works better. This is a medical fact. Secondly, people subconsciously judge us on what we look like. If we are in good shape people increase their trust levels of us. Because we look after ourselves, they believe we can look after them and their business. I know this is almost cultural heresy, but I do think it is true.
- Groom & dress well – As per the second point above. How we look is an asset. It doesn't mean we need to wear expensive clothes or look like a movie star, but have pride in our own human existence. Never be afraid to invest money in nice clothing.
- Work harder on yourself than you do on your job – People buy us as they asset, both in startup land and employment land. So we must invest in self development more than developing the business. If we do the former, that latter happens automatically.
- Leverage the wood chips – Every job has some kind of 'off cut' or left over which is part of the process of being productive. This is often a great asset which can be leveraged. Know what your wood chips are, and take them to market. This not only invents revenue, but displays vision. People will notice.
- Help others grow – Help friends and colleagues achieve their goals. Help them with what you know and inspire them to be all they can. Do it without desire for any repayment. It will inspire you and karma will return the benefits.
- Save 30 percent – Keep 30 percent of your income to be invested. Do this before any expenditure occurs at all. Put 10% into active capital (your own entrepreneurial ideas). Put 10% into passive capital (shares, interest bearing deposits, other peoples business ventures) and put 10% back into society – this should be defined by yourself. It takes far less than people think for the compound benefits of such a simple financial strategy to accrue.
- Spend 10% on your income on self education – No matter what we earn we must ensure we allocate 10% of this to re-educating ourselves. In a world of rapid change this is not a choice but a must. This is the ingredient to continued self worth and value. It pays for itself many times over. Just ask any millionaire.
By the way this list is 'non-exhaustive' – but a set of activities I have learned and used. Maybe you've got some additional tactics you can share in the comments.

Fantastic wisdom. Funny, my wife and I just paid our bills and we're doing a few of these things already. Gonne do some more!
Please more fully explain your wood chips idea.
cheers man,
i have about 4-5 of these things ticked off the list.
I'll keep you updated on how the rest of the list goes.
Some of your sharpest work right here Stevie! It's clearly time for me to pull the finger out on the blog frontier. I agree with Heather, would love to see a post on the wood chips. Love your work mate! #manlove
Dear Steven,
I run a woodchip mill, what should we do with our woodchip off cuts and what should we call them?
Thoughtful indeed!
What I liked the most is tip #3, #9, #10. There are many ways to earn money on the Internet, however, you can rarely read about Approach. Here I've finally found something useful :)
Great post Steve. Peppy!! Gave me quite a kick :)
I agree with Heather…didnt quite get the wood chips part. Would love to know more about it.
Dear Steven,
My name is Ces, but you can call me Scott or Reg.
I think I will steal your chip idea on Wood Chippery and take it to the RSL Club and beyond.
I can't believe you know Joe Normal too, he's a fine upstanding gent and hails from a great family of chip merchants 'round these parts.
Small world.
Great post, Steve! Love the financial breakdown and looking forward to your wood chips post. I'm working on #2 right now and will share with you my blog once it's up and running.
Many thanks,
May be this could be added. Carry a notebook and pen/some electronic device for recording always. Some times good ideas flash and vanish immediately. They do not announce that they are coming. Noting it and nurturing would pave way for something.
It's all very good and well suggesting lifestyle changes that could possibly lead to an increase in income, but surely one of the first things one should do is seek out a good accountant? They can help you to understand the ins and outs of your finances and put together a plan that help you to get the most from your money. So where do you start? Well, find the best firm in your local area and go and have a chat – being Essex based myself, I found this firm of accountants in Chelmsford incredibly helpful.
Hi, I am not a native english speaker that's why I may have not understood.. But what do you mean by save 10% by giving back to society… Can you give some examples? Is it like send 10% to charity?
[…] 2. Improving public speaking will help greatly increase your income. […]
In a private sector, you cannot survive until you update yourself with the latest happenings. In this regard, communities play very important role to make you worthwhile. Basically it all about risks you take then you get success.
Love point 3 Steve…more so ..love the explanation.

What do you mean by that? Mmm...ReplyDelete

Hiiiii Cesar,ReplyDelete
some questions about fashion:
do you like the shows and who is your favorite designeur???
and are you in Paris for the next Paris fashion-Week.
Really eager to see you at some great shows like Chanel or Dior.
Thank you.
- AnonymousOctober 27, 2010 at 11:37 PM
I think New York is quite confused because it is an Island and is not really sure how it fits with the United States. In the civil war it wanted to succeed from the Union as it didn't really see how it belonged to America. And it is also an old port city and originally Dutch so its a bit of a confused place. As a sea port and then airplane hub, it is closer to Europe than most of the United States especially with the UN although it is also very shaped by the poverty and later success of the many generations of people who came to America through here. I guess it also has somehow always captured peoples imaginations although it has such an odd configuration and can be inhospitable at times. So many people seem to really want to come here.ReplyDelete

So As It Turns Out, Kim Kardashian Is Not the Next Meryl Streep
The reviews are in for Tyler Perry's new 'Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor,' and despite only having a supporting role, Kim Kardashian did not manage to tempt critics into giving the film positive marks.
Best + Worst Dressed of the Week: Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, Leona Lewis, Jennifer Lopez + More
While Katy Perry proved that living well and showing off your hot body is the best revenge, we were treated to another poor maternity dress choice by Kim Kardashian, among other things.
We hate to pick on a pregnant woman, but Kimmy K. needs an intervention. She has enough sisters and women in her life to let her know these fashion faux pas are reaching epic proportions.
Ford Pulls Ad Touting Ample Trunk Space With Paris Hilton Kidnapping the Kardashians [PHOTOS]
Car company Ford is in a little hot water for an ad campaign that revolved around making light of kidnapping in order to advertise the trunk space of their Ford Figo, with one ad putting a caricature of Paris Hilton in the role of driver and Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian bound and gagged in the trunk.
As the ad states, "Leave your worries behind with Figo's extra-large boot." Or in layman's term, our trunk is so big, it can fit three whole Kardashians!
Kim Kardashian Insists She Did in Fact Love Kris Humphries in Divorce Deposition
Even though their heavily televised marriage lasted a mere 72 days, Kim Kardashian swore under oath in a nine hour deposition that she did, in fact, love Kris Humphries.
Deposition Reveals Kim Kardashian Is a Liar, But That Kris Humphries Knew It All Along
Kris Humphries is currently in the midst of suing estranged wife Kim Kardashian, claiming their marriage was fraudulent so he can get an annulment rather than a divorce -- which would nullify the non-disclosure agreement he signed before they tied the knot.
Unfortunately for him, a deposition may have revealed that he was in on the fraud all along, re-shooting a scene of him proposing to Kim for 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians.' But those same legal docs reveal Kim might have also faked a lot of scenes on her own that made Humphries look bad.
Kris Humphries' Relatives Call Out Kim Kardashian for Luring Him Into a Sham Marriage
Kris Humphries is continuing his never-ending quest to prove that his marriage to Kim Kardashian was a sham perpetrated by her family to make money and boost their reality show's ratings -- and for the first time, his family has jumped in to help him make his case.
Guys, you don't have to try so hard. We believe you.
People Like Congress Less Than Cockroaches, More Than the Kardashians
It's no surprise that Americans don't like politicians, Congress in particular. In fact, a recent survey showed the governmental body is less popular than even cockroaches and colonoscopies. Even still, more Americans would rather hang out with their local congresscritter than a member of the Kardashian family.
Kim Kardashian Pregnant With Kanye West's Baby
First she was his 'Perfect B----,' now she's his perfect baby mama. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting their first child!
America's Favorite Families The Kardashians and the 'Honey Boo Boo Clan' Offer Up Ridiculous Christmas Cards
We're hard pressed to think of a better way to showcase the two main genres of reality television than this side-by-side comparison of the Thompson (of 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' fame) and the Kardashian families' Christmas cards.
Jennifer Lawrence Deemed 'Most Desirable Woman' as Kim Kardashian Almost Falls Off the List
The results are in for AskMen's annual 'Most Desirable Woman' poll, and Jennifer Lawrence (or as we call her, "Katniss Everdeen without the filter") took this year's No. 1 spot.
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian, who was at No. 8 last year, dropped a whopping 90 spots down the ladder, metaphorically hitting her chin on every rung as she fell.

ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Ithaca police officer shot by a suspect last week has suffered a minor stroke. He remains in the intensive care unit.
According to Deputy Chief John Barber, Officer Anthony Augustine suffered a collapsed lung when he was shot. Now the stroke has impaired his vision and he's lost some function in his arm and hand.
Augustine was shot Thursday evening while he was chasing a man suspected of stealing a car. Police say the suspect turned and shot Augustine in the chest while running.
Investigators arrested Jamel Booker, 22, and charged him with aggravated assault of an officer and criminal use of a firearm.
The deputy chief says it's unknown whether Augustine will fully recover.

Lightning strikes Maitland home, sparks fire
Updated On: Sep 06 2013 05:38:08 PM EDT
Firefighters worked to douse flames at a home in Maitland after lightning struck it Friday afternoon.
Flames spread through the attic of the home, which is located on Magnolia Road. The homeowners were able to escape the home safely.
Related: Track storms on interactive radar
Officials said lightning struck the home as strong storms pushed through Central Florida.
The home is just one of many reported lightning strikes affecting structures in the area, according to fire and rescue officials.
Fire crews were also called to a home in Winter Park where a bolt of lightning possibly led to another blaze. A similar fire was reported at a home in Oviedo and another blaze kept firefighters busy at an apartment building in Winter Springs.

A step in the right direction
07.10.2012 - 07.10.2012
I had better success today at smiling at adversity. I went to the campus shop and loaded about 100 yuan's worth of goodies into my basket. Well, calling them goodies might be overstating the case but one makes the best of it. I've just eaten the fake maltesers and honestly, they should be called fool teasers. Anyways, the lovely girl at the til rang up 114, and as is customary, did not give me a receipt, but I asked for one and walked to a nearby counter to check it. She had duplicated an item and I knew I had bought only one of everything, so I went back and pointed at a duplication. She checked my bag and refunded me 7.50 yuan. That should have been the end of the matter but there was something bloody minded inside me compelling me to not let the matter end so I ask her to re-do all the items. She did and I was refunded 12 more yuan. While all this was going on she kept having to ask students to use the other til and one grumbled. The true total was 95. I wasn't that put out, but I could have added a smile and an encouraging word. Next time.
Amongst my collection of packaging with some bits of food in it I bought Franzii Seaweed cookie, for the discerning lady.

Empire State Of Drive: Ford C-MAX Energi Plug-in Hybrid Qualifies For New York Carpool Lane Access
NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has approved the all-new Ford C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid for its Clean Pass vehicle carpool lane access program
- C-MAX Energi offers a top speed of 85 mph – 20 more than Toyota Prius Plug-in – and a total range of up to 620 miles, enabling drivers to get where they're going in a zippy fashion without having to worry about finding a gas station
- C-MAX Energi meets the long-distance challenges of New York's super-commuters who also face increased congestion; idling in stop-and-go traffic is estimated to waste 1.9 billion gallons of gasoline annually
The all-new Ford C-MAX Energi – already offering the top speed among plug-in hybrid vehicles – now gives New Yorkers a chance to get where they're going even faster after being approved for use in the carpool lane of a major artery into the Big Apple.
Clean Pass, a New York state-run program promoting reduced greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption, recently ruled C-MAX Energi owners could drive the entire 40-mile stretch of the Long Island Expressway in the carpool lane.
The move is especially important as studies show New Yorkers spend more time driving to and from work than commuters anywhere else in the country.To qualify, vehicles must be classified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as a super ultra-low emission vehicle (SULEV) and also be certified by the U.S. EPA to offer fuel economy of at least 45 mpg on the highway. C-MAX Energi not only meets the CARB standard but also offers EPA-estimated 100 MPGe combined – 108 MPGe city, 92 MPGe highway – along with a total range of up to 620 miles and an electric-only range of up to 21 miles.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Scheduled for Wednesday, May 1, you'll see a new website design at www.gjfreepress.com! Plus, it will offer both hyper-local and regional news, with easy access to stories from Grand Junction, Glenwood Springs and Rifle. That's more news access on a free website, folks!So, why the change? It's part of a completely new computer software system that runs our new website, and it also supports all the stories, photos, headlines and pages that we produce for our print newspaper. In print industry parlance, it's called a content-management system and the Grand Junction Free Press is getting a new one. It represents a major investment in how we put together the print edition, as well as move stories, photos and other items to our website. In addition to a sleek-looking website, GJFreePress.com has also been redesigned to be easier to read no matter what platform readers use - computer, tablet or mobile."Our goal for the new website was for it to be 'clean, clear and current,' and that's what you will notice first off when you log on to GJFreePress.com," said Free Press Editor Tracy Dvorak.The design is based on reader feedback and research on how people use news-oriented websites. The homepage design is simplified and cleaner. Photo display will be better and related article links will be much improved. And readers who enjoy our newspaper's popular E-edition will still have that option with a link on our homepage.As with any change, the new website will take some getting used to simply because it is different from what online readers have become accustomed to the past four years.One important thing to note: Though Free Press readers may always access Grand Junction news from its local link (www.gjfreepress.com), its new landing page will now be directly connected with Colorado Mountain News Media sister papers, Glenwood Spring's Post Independent and The Citizen Telegram in Rifle. Don't be shocked if you see the Post Independent linked to Free Press stories online! You are indeed on the right page. Even better, you'll be able to easily navigate news about our closest neighbors to the east without leaving the website.As with anything new, we know the new website won't be perfect on day 1. So, in advance, we ask that you please bear with us. We will have an extended team of both news and technical folks in our newsroom for the next two weeks to help us work through problems, and we expect the fixes to be quick. Email your questions and concerns to firstname.lastname@example.com, and we'll do our best to help you.

Golden Oak LibraryComments87
this wiki
Redirected from Golden Oaks Library
The tree has a beehive hanging from a branch, a candlestick sign on the front door (sometimes an actual candlestick figure, depending on individual animation errors), a sign of an open book outside the door, and two balconies, one of which has a telescope.
According to Lauren Faust, Golden Oak Library was originally called "The Tree of Knowing".[1]
Season one
In Friendship is Magic, part 1, Princess Celestia sends Twilight to Ponyville to supervise the Summer Sun Celebration preparations. She was supposed to stay in the library during her stay in Ponyville. The library is protected from lightning by a magical lightning rod as mentioned by Twilight in Look Before You Sleep. During the thunderstorm, Twilight has a slumber party with Applejack and Rarity and during the end of the episode, a tree falls into the bedroom through the window. In Swarm of the Century, Twilight wakes up in the morning to find the library infested with parasprites. In Sonic Rainboom, Rainbow Dash crashes into the library and knocks all the books off the shelves, making Rarity, Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Applejack organize them again.
Season two
The library also has every Daring Do book in the series, as mentioned in Read it and Weep.In times of difficulty, Twilight often turns to her vast library to find answers. For example, in The Cutie Pox, Twilight pulls out a book called Perplexing Pony Plagues to diagnose Apple Bloom's case of "Cutie Pox".
In Ponyville Confidential, the Cutie Mark Crusaders attempt to find a way out of their current situation. After they try asking Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, the trio go to the library in hope of getting help from Twilight. Spike yells at them that Twilight, anticipating their arrival, had set up a magic barrier.
Season three
In The Crystal Empire - Part 1, Twilight magically rips the entire tree out of the ground, exposing its roots. When Twilight and Spike are searching for a way to eradicate the Pinkie Pie clones in Too Many Pinkie Pies, Spike discovers a horseshoe-shaped button hidden in the back of a bookshelf. Upon pressing it, a secret compartment containing the desired book is revealed.
In Magic Duel, Trixie uses her magic to flip the library upside down and shake books from it to the ground to persuade Twilight to have a duel with her.
Season fourIn Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1, Rarity mentions that after the Summer Sun Celebration, she and Twilight have a meeting scheduled to redecorate Twilight's Loft now that she's a princess.
Her house also appears in Castle Mane-ia, Daring Don't, Power Ponies, Bats!, Pinkie Apple Pie, Three's A Crowd, Twilight Time, Maud Pie, Testing Testing 1, 2, 3, and Inspiration Manifestation.
In Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2, most of the library is destroyed by Lord Tirek when he attacks it in his attempt to take the princesses' combined Alicorn magic from Twilight. Twilight barely escapes with Owlowiscious before Tirek's attack razes the library.
Season five
According to a conversation with Hasbro Studios vice president Mike Vogel, "a whole episode in Season 5" is "devote[d]" to answering the question of whether Twilight is "still going to use/live in her library".[2]

This model is no longer available on the ASDA website – you can however find it on Ebay for less than £50
Summary: A high spec machine, with refurbished models currently available from Asda at just £50 Inc VAT including full 12 months warranty and Top Up TV Subscription offer with Setanta Sports 1 Free for 6 months. Well worth a look.
See below for price comparison.
Pros: Clear, easy to use on-screen menus; 14 day EPG; 6 months free Setanta Sports subscription*;
Cons: Noisy hard drive could be too loud for a bedroom
Freeview Recorder Overview
If you are looking for your first Freeview Recorder with built in hard-disk drive, then this deal is a great start. If you're looking for a replacement digital TV recorder or a second unit for a bedroom or kitchen – this is still a great start!
Until I used a hard drive recorder for the first time, I didn't appreciate how easy they are to use, and the benefits they have over old-style VHS recorders using tapes and cassettes. Programmes are recorded in a digital format on to the internal hard drive. So when you want to record something, you don't have to worry about finding a tape with sufficient free space, or re-winding it to the right place so you don't record over something else on the tape. When you want to watch your recorded programmes, simply access the library and press play. On most models you can even continue watching from where you stopped last time – great if you intend watching a longer programme over a couple of nights. Deleting programmes you've watched is easy but with space for 120 hours of television, if you fill it then I would suggest you watch too much television!
Thomson Top Up TV 160 GB Freeview Recorder
Thomson doesn't quite have the reputation of Humax or Wharfdale for such devices, but you really can't ask for much more at such a great price.
It's important to realise that these boxes have been refurbished. The original models had a software error and affected units were returned to Thomson to have the new software applied and a quick brush up. The model I bought came with all the plastic wrappings including a protective sticker over the LED panel. If you buy from Asda, Thomson provides you with the warranty for the first 6 months, with Asda topping it up in months 6-12. While this is all great news, it means you'll have to be quick because there will surely be a limited number available. Having said that, at the time of writing (April 09), they are still available to buy from Asda's website (see link above).
The new software that has been loaded during the refurbishment brings it up to the Freeview + standard – including pause and rewind live TV, Series Link functionality and the ability to record two different channels simultaneously.
Inside the box was everything you would need to get started… power cable, aerial cable and even a scart lead. The scart lead wasn't the best quality so you may wish to buy a more expensive one to make the most of the digital picture. There is a bizarre loop-through system for the TV aerial, but it most cases you could happily ignore this.
The first time you turn the unit on, it scans for available channels and sets up the EPG. Very straight forward to use – follow the on-screen instructions mostly pressing OK/continue – similar to setting up any other recent TV or Freeview receiver. What did jump to my attention was the noise that it produces – it was noticeable. To give an idea, I would say it is similar to the noise a traditional VHS recorded makes – the only difference is that this noise is continuous, whether the unit is in use or in standby mode.
The remote is very reminiscent of a Sky controller, both in shape and configuration of the buttons. It has all the usual buttons you would expect – record, play, start, stop, rewind etc. It then has buttons to access the recording function and the library, from where you can playback previously recorded programmes. The remote can also be programmed to control your TV as well. Simply pressing the TV button switches the unit to send commands to your TV instead of the Freeview box. The buttons are responsive to even a light touch, so I can't see these buttons being worn out easily.
Scheduling programmes to be recorded couldn't be easier. Press the 'Guide' button to bring up the on-screen EPG (electronic programme guide); use the up and down arrows to move between channels, and the left and right arrows to move earlier and later, highlighting the program you want. The EPG has information for the next 7 days and the rewind and fast forward buttons on the control skip back and forward 24 hours at a time making it easy to navigate from day to day. Further information about the highlighted program pops up after just a couple of seconds and from there you have further options to Record by pressing the 'R' button on the control. At this stage, the Freeview + feature 'Series Link' comes in to play. If the programme you select is part of a series it gives you the option to record future episodes without any further programming – fantastic! This really brings Freeview devices in to competition with Sky+ which has had this functionality for some time. Alternatively, you could just record the one episode if you so desired
As the unit has two tuners, you can record two different channels simultaneously (and also playback a recorded program at the same time if you wish). The 160 GB hard drive gives up to 120 hours recording time – and you can always check how much space is remaining in the Library screen.
The Freeview + features should mean that scheduled recordings are automatically amended to start and stop recordings at the start or end of the programs. This however relies on the TV network operators keeping the Now & Next information up to date. (You can sometimes see this in action on your Freeview TV or receiver– if you go to the now and next info at 8.02pm and it is still showing the 7.30pm programme in 'now' and the 8.00pm programme in 'next' this is because the 7.30pm show is running late and TV network has quite rightly updated the now & next information. This is what is required for the Freeview + features to work accurately).
This now and next information is used by the Freeview Recorder in the following manner – if you are expecting a program to start at 8.00pm but it doesn't actually start until 8.03pm it should delay recording until 8.03pm. At the same time, it should also then add a further 3 minutes on to the finish time so that it doesn't miss the all-important ending. When I tested this, I got mixed results, but I can't help feel it was more down the TV networks not updating the now & next info rather than the Thomson device not functioning as it is supposed to.
Playback of recorded programmes is equally as easy. Pressing the Library button brings an on-screen list of everything you have saved on your device. The Thomson interface will even attempt to filter them by category – movies, drama, Top Up TV etc. A nice feature of the Library screen is the video preview box on the right hand side. This automatically starts playing back the selected programme so you can see exactly what the program is. I find this really useful when I come to delete episodes of a series that I have recorded but can't remember which ones I have and haven't watched – simply watching the first few scenes of a program is generally enough to jog my memory and this little preview is ideal for this purpose.
Finally, the physical design of the box is in my opinion fairly modern in comparison even to some more recent models. It's clear that Thomson has used the Sky boxes as a design brief and come up with something very close and would fit in nicely with your other devices either in your living room or bedroom. All of the connections and sockets are on the rear of the unit. Starting on the left, there is an 'aerial in' socket, then 'RF loop out' and 'RF loop in' sockets, followed by 'RF out'. The RF loop sockets need to have the little grey loop box connected to work correctly if you don't need the aerial feeding elsewhere, so make sure it is present on your box before turning on. In the centre are two Scart sockets, one for the VCR and one for the TV. Finally there are 3 audio outputs – a left and right, with a digital audio out socket. The final connection is for the power.
I used a power meter to test how efficient the unit was, as this is increasingly becoming a concern when buying electrical devices. The Thomson isn't as efficient as some other models, especially the Humax PVR9150T and PVR9300T which both claim to use less than 1 watt power in standby. By comparison, the Thomson consumes 14 Watts when in standby, peaking at 19 Watts when in use.
Overall, this seems to be a great unit at the advertised price. Some customers have reported problems with their units, but with a full 12 month warranty I don't see why you could complain. It doesn't lack any features offered by other models and is one of the most easy to use devices I have reviewed. The 160 GB hard drive is easily enough space for you not to worry about deleting programmes every day and the £50 price tag, in my opinion, makes it an obvious choice.
Have you got one of these models? We'd love to know what you think of it and whether you agree with our review. Leave your feedback below.

Genitive Construction
This is the genitive construction, which expresses a relationship of possession between the two parts of the construction. In formal Arabic, there is not a possessive preposition like "of" or any other possessive particles. The only way to say that sentence will be by virtue of the "construct state" of nouns and the genitive case.
Look at the examples:
Every one of those phrases was a genitive construction. Two things can be noted about those constructions:
These two notes are the components of any genitive construction in Arabic. The fact that the first noun did not have a definite article attached (i.e. was not in the definite state) nor did it have an indefinite declension attached (i.e. was not in the indefinite state) leaves us in front of a new state for nouns in Arabic. This is what is called the "construct state" of nouns, or the state of "addition" الإِضَاْفَةُ in Arabic terminology.
The construct state exists in many Semitic languages. Whereas this state can mean considerable changes to the noun structure in languages such as Hebrew and Syriac, in Arabic there is not really that much. Just no definite article before, nor noonation at the end of nouns. The noonation must be removed here even from the dual and masculine plural endings if the noun had either of them.
Meaning of the Construct State
When a noun is in the construct state, it will not have neither a definite nor an indefinite marker. However, it will be always a definite noun, even if there were no definite article attached. Think of it as if there were a hidden definite article before the noun. The definiteness of the construct state is so strict that even the final noon ن of the dual and the masculine plural endings will be removed in this state, and this is the only case in Arabic where this happens to those two.
The second point is that changing a noun to the construct state will always implant a hidden possessive "of" after the noun. This is the main point of the construct state anyway.
So a noun in the construct state will be like this:
*Note: the declension of irregular plurals is identical to singular nouns.
The Second Part of the Genitive Construction
The part of the sentence before the hidden "of" is the first part of the genitive construction. It can be a noun in the construct state or it can be a phrase, e.g. "the first two pages of the book." The 1st part of a genitive construction is called in Arabic "the added" الْمُضَاْفُ.
The second part of the genitive construction is the part coming after "of." This part is called in Arabic "the added to" الْمُضَاْفُ إِلَيْهِ.
The second part of the genitive construction must be always in the genitive case, or 'al-jarr case in Arabic. This is why they called it a genitive case anyway. The 2nd part of the construction will not be in the construct state nor it will have anything to do with it. It will be either in the definite or the indefinite state just as usual.
Examples on genitive constructions:
The 'alif after the waaw in مُعَلِّمُوْا is a silent.
More examples in which the first part is in other cases ('an-nasb & 'al-jarr):
Examples on proper nouns:
دِمَشْق is a "forbidden to noonation" الْمَمْنُوْعُ مِنَ الْصَّرْفِ word, so it has an irregular case sign in the genitive case (-a) in addition to never taking noonation.
Proper names are always definite and don't take 'al- before them. However, we mentioned before that first names of people and some other proper nouns take tanween even though they are definite.
Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns such as "my" and "your" do not exist in Arabic; nor do exist ones such as "mine" and "yours." To say in Arabic that something is yours, you would use the genitive construction described above and say "(the) thing (of) me." To say "your book and his book" you would say "(the) book (of) you and (the) book (of) him."
This will be shown later in the section about object pronouns.
"A" Thing of a Thing
A final issue about the genitive construction is how we translate the following sentence to Arabic:
A door of a house
We know that it is impossible in Arabic for the first part of a genitive construction to be indefinite. Thus, this kind of sentences is usually translated in Arabic to:
بَاْبُ مَنْزِلٍ
baab(u) manzil(in)
(The) door (of) a house
There is not really that much of a difference between the two. However, if you were insisting on having the first part indefinite, there is one trick that could be used, which is to use a preposition other than the hidden "of" of the genitive construction. Usually that would be the particle li- لِـ = "for/to."
بَاْبٌ لِمَنْزِلٍ
baab(un) li-manzil(in)
A door for a house
This is not a genitive construction. The word after li- is in the ablative case, which is the same in Arabic as the genitive case ('al-jarr).
Can you translate those phrases to Arabic by using the following Arabic words?

Guys, I appreciate all of the patience, but honestly, this has stalled because I'm not attaching my name to something that I'm not proud of. The comments have been really solid, all around, but not good enough for me. I'm a demanding SOB, and until this is what I want it to be, it's not happening...at least not with my name on it. Pierre and I have talked pretty in depth about the whole thing, and we don't feel putting a knife that we don't 100% believe in, for the sake of making a knife, is smart. In fact, it's flat out stupid, and not what I do. It's not what Pierre does either. Period.
I have redesigned the knife with many tweaks, and I'll be sharing it with a few testers before I throw it on here. As I said - the reviews have been good, but good is not great...thus, I'm not ok with it.
Also, to be perfectly candid, I'm contemplating seeking out another maker so I can be sure you guys get what you deserve after being so patient with this project. You deserve a knife that makes you wonder why you spent $500 on that Carter, when you could have spent half and gotten a knife that makes you feel like a god damn champ.
Thanks for your understanding, and yeah, I'm a dick-headed dictator when I need to be...sorry.
Take a look around at: www.sharpandshinyshop.com
Email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Lefty, I appreciate your approach and commitment to making a great knife that's a great value.
Please take the time you guys need to do it right!
After reading that I want everything to make me feel like a god damned champ, and everything I do to make everyone else feel like a god damned champ. Well said
I WANNA BE A CHAMP!!! I've always been the chump so this excites me
Good work you two on keeping this moving forward and keeping the standards high, cheers
After looking all of this over it is very intriguing and look forward to seeing something amazing out of a serious commitment to exceptional standards. And I want one whenever they may come to fruition.
Is it still possible to get in on this? The thought of a Canadian collaboration sends shivers down my spine. Needed something to fill that void anyways since the cold snap we were having in ottawa just broke yesterday.
Nobody is officially "in" on this. They'll take orders after the design is finalized.
And I believe they're going to let demand determine production.

Several businesses in Irondequoit are cleaning up after a fire. It happened around 3 a.m. Tuesday at the Planet Fitness Plaza located on Ridge Road. The fire department says the automatic alarms at Planet Fitness sounded and alerted 911.
When firefighters arrived, they found a fire in the lower portion of the plaza insidethe offices at Lifetime Health Medical Group. The fire was put out, but smoke and water damaged the other medical offices there.
Smoke damage also forced Planet Fitness to temporarily close.
"They are retrieving vaccines to destroy. Lifetime Health is dealing with their suppliers. Most of the files are all kept on computer; there were no patient files lost."
It's unclear how long the medical offices will be closed.
Planet Fitness clients are encouraged to call ahead to see when it will reopen.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

Gold Beach, Oregon is 'Berry-Good'
It's the climate. The South Coast of Oregon produces a bounty of berries. Oregon's coastal moderate temperatures and ample rainfall create ideal conditions for growing delicious orbs of fruit as well as a providing a pleasant environment in which live and play. If you decide to purchase real estate in Coastal Oregon and relocate, berry-picking is a favorite ol'time past-time for many residents – spring, summer and fall.
Salmonberries – a species native to the west coast usually found in moist forest and stream margins forming large thickets of bushes 1-4 meters in height and can be located along many sections of the Oregon Coast Trail.
Lesser known to most folks, this berry shares the same fruit-structure as a raspberry, only slightly larger, ripening from mid-June to late-July into a bright, orange-gold color sometimes tinged with red.
Historically, these were an important food for indigenous peoples, often incorporated into pemmican or eaten with half-dried salmon roe. The flavor is subtle, slightly sweet and refreshing— good eaten raw or processed into jam, candy, jelly and wine.
Blackberries - plentiful and grow almost everywhere on Oregon's south coast! Several area restaurants feature their own versions of lip-smacking blackberry cobbler. Pick 'em until you drop. They're good, sweet nectar producers for a wide variety of uses.
The blackberry is also high in nutritional value containing dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid, B vitamin and the essential mineral manganese. This humble berry also packs a powerful punch of antioxidant strength.
Huckleberries are easily found, both bright red through dark purple-blue varieties, ranging from tart to sweet in taste—similar to blueberries— ripening in mid-to-late summer or later at higher elevations.
Many mammals enjoy these berries, especially bears. Humans love 'em to make luscious pies and jams, and the 4-6 ft. bushes can be used in coastal horticulture to create native-plant gardens and landscapes.
Lastly, the familiar blueberry is easy to cultivate here, and many Oregon Blueberry farms sell them in volume or offer U-Pick days for those inclined to spend a leisurely day plucking their own.
If you're a fan of berries and are considering the purchase of home or land on Oregon's South Coast, call Karl Nettgen @ 541-698-8171. He's your ethical, knowledgeable, and professional Gold Beach real estate Broker who strives to meet his client's needs.

Small iron ore and coal companies good investment bets due to Chinese interest
A senior mining analyst reckons that small mining companies, particularly those with iron ore and coal, will be attractive investments due to Chinese desire to secure future supplies.
Posted: Wednesday , 30 Apr 2008
LONDON (Reuters) -
Small mining companies with iron ore and coal operations are among the most promising investment bets as mineral-poor China will target them for possible mergers and acquisitions, a senior analyst has said.
A lack of raw materials, particularly iron ore and coal, makes China dependent on other countries to speed its steel and industrial development.
"The best to have is to own companies with commodities that China doesn't have," said senior analyst Andrew Keen at Bernstein Research told a conference call late on Tuesday.
Bernstein Research is a wholly owned subsidiary of the global asset management firm AllianceBernstein, which had around $800 billion in assets under management at end-2007.
"There is going to be significant movement of Chinese capital out towards developing marginal supplies outside of China," Bernstein said.
He believes Chinese capital will gain only modest access to major miners like BHP Billiton or Rio Tinto.
"Strategically Chinese capital will be limited from progressing too far into names like BHP. I think that is going to be limited by government intervention," he said.
"But that does not apply to junior miners," he said.
Iron ore prices are due to rise at least 65 percent under annual contracts, while coking coal prices have almost tripled -- making life even more difficult for the world's top iron ore importer to feed the world's top steelmaking industry.
"You're going to see a significant trend of Chinese interest coming out; either in terms of project financing or in terms of outright acquisitions," Bernstein told the conference call.
To secure much needed iron ore supplies, several Chinese steelmakers started to invest in Australian iron ore projects, with the latest being Sinosteel's revised $1.27 billion hostile bid to increase its stake in Midwest Corp.
"Among the junior iron ore names that we covered, up to 6 of the 10 have agreed strateagic relationships with Chinese interests," he said.
China's demand for raw materials is so strong, Bernstein said, adding that it is likely to offset the impact of a slowdown in the world's biggest economy, the United States.
"Chinese domestic metal demand growth is decoupled from the U.S....For now, coupling remains a theory," he said.
"Approximately 15-22 million people urbanised each year since mid 1990s. This is roughly an additional New York or London being built every six months...This process is not finished," he said.
Thanks to this trend, the country is now key to global demand for industrial metals.
"The slowdown in the U.S. economy will not have the same effect on global metals markets as in the past because demand has shifted substantially," he said.
In the short-term the copper market is set to range between $6,500-8,500 per tonne due to supply disruptions and low stocks versus reluctance of Chinese buyers to accept high prices.
"It is common that Chinese buyers re-emerge...But the main thing driving the market is continued disruption on the supply side," he said.

You might be someone who cooks with a nonstick pan everyday, but have you ever considered what you should do with your pan once it's no longer suitable for cooking?
A quick internet search reveals there's a lot of confusion surrounding whether nonstick pans can be recycled. Some people say no one will recycle them because of the coating. Some suggest there might be ways to mail the pans in for recycling, while others don't see why your curbside recycling program wouldn't accept them, since they are metal, after all. Others are afraid to donate nonstick pans because the pans might be harmful to pet or human health, a topic surrounded by a fair amount of discussion. So, to demystify this issue, we'll provide some clarification about what exactly a nonstick pan is made of and how you can determine how to recycle it.
What Makes a Nonstick Pan Not Sticky?
Nonstick pans, which you may know by the brand name Teflon (made by DuPont), are most often made of aluminum. Some are also made of stainless steel. To keep food from sticking to these metals, manufacturers add a layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is a compound with a low coefficient of friction, meaning other objects will easily slide by it. This coating can have multiple layers to ensure the nonstick surface is durable.
While this nonstick coating makes cooking easier, if it gets scratched or begins to flake, it's time to find a replacement pan. Before the pan's metal can be recycled, however, the coating must be removed. Finding a recycler willing to do this is by no means impossible, but you'll need to know where to look.
How To Recycle Nonstick Pans
Option 1: Check Your Curbside Program
Some curbside recycling programs do accept nonstick pans and will handle the removal of the PTFE. One town in North Carolina, for example, will accept all pans, regardless of whether they're coated with PTFE. Other cities will accept only uncoated cookware. To determine whether these options are available in your area, search Earth911's Recycling Directory. You'll want to look for whether your local program accepts nonferrous scrap metal (which includes aluminum, copper and stainless steel). If so, give your recycler a call and ask about whether nonstick pans are allowed in the bin.
Option 2: Find a Scrap Yard
You may find your local curbside program doesn't collect unusual materials like pots and pans, but don't fret. Most scrap yards that accept metal will be happy to take your old nonstick pans, which they will recycle along with other scrap metal.
"The scrap yards will usually separate these pans into the proper pile of aluminum scrap," Virginia Buechel, Public Relations Director for iScrap App, a search tool for scrap yards, told Earth911. In the case of aluminum pans, they will be put with what's called "sheet aluminum" or "light aluminum," which is sturdier than the aluminum used in cans, Buechel explained.
"From there […] they will be melted down and that special non-stick surface will separate properly from the true aluminum material," she said.
To search for a scrap yard in your area, visit iScrap App or take a look at Earth911's Recycling Directory.
Option 3: Seek Out a Mail-In Program
Another alternative if other options fail is to seek out a mail-back program for PTFE-coated pans. An example of one such program is Calphalon ReNew. If you buy new pots and pans from Calphalon, a manufacturer of many varieties of cookware, you can return your old nonstick pots and pans to them in the box your new purchases come in. Any brand of cookware is accepted by the program and the shipping is covered by the company, who will take care of getting the pans to a recycling center.
