The "get a degree, find a job" system is archaic and completely choked now.
A University degree lately is a mere decoration in this century.
We all know the economy is very hard now, so being over reliant on a job now is surviving and not living.
The original design was for us to live to work, and not work to live!
Many organizations are collapsing now, the future is securing your own business online or even offline.
To make money in Nigeria now, you need to find multiple streams of income.
Please take your time to read this, lazy readers never make good entrepreneurs.
The best part is where we always skip!
Anyway, allow me to introduce myself.
I am Emmanuel Osei, owner of smartincomeoffice.com.
You can choose to call me Karisma.
Anyway, speaking of online businesses, I can say I have over 7 years experience in online marketing so I know what I am about.
I have been involved in a lot of online and offline marketing programs and I have seen it all; both the ups and downs.
Now to subject matter, there are so many ways to make money online or make money in Nigeria, and I want to discuss about 7 of them:
1. Revenue Shares:
This is one of the easiest way to make money online without referring anyone, if not the easiest!
What Is A Revenue Share Company?
Revenue sharing generally is the distribution of profits and losses between stakeholders, who could be general partners (and limited partners in a limited partnership), a company's employees, or between companies in a business alliance.
Business- Revenue sharing in Internet marketing is also known as cost per sale, in which the cost of advertising is determined by the revenue generated as a result of the advertisement itself.
This method accounts for about 80% of affiliate marketing programs,primarily dominated by online retailers such as Amazon and eBay.
Basically in online Revenue Share Programs, you pay for advertisements and make money from your advertising packages.
I Was Making $50 A Day With Revenue Shares:
Until the middle of May 2017, I was making around $50 a day with Revenue Shares till I took a break because of my strategy.
I am back now with an incredible Revenue Share company which is one of the best in the revenue industry currently, if not the best.
How You Earn:
You basically earn 2% daily on your advertising packages daily!
To further explain what I mentioned earlier, you need to purchase advertisement in Revenue shares to make money daily.
The advertisement come in the form of advertising packages(adpacks).
The more adpacks you purchase, the more you earn daily, plus you have the opportunity to compound your earnings to earn even more!
You earn 2% on each active adpack till each adpack pays out 120%.
Since the main products in revenue shares are advertisement, you need to view ads every 24 hours to qualify for the daily revenue shares of 2% for each paid member.
What I'm About To Show You:
Contact me on the contact page for coaching on how to get started.
In this incredible revenue share, an adpack costs $35 each.
For example, you are broke and therefore can afford to purchase only one adpack for $35.
From what I explained earlier, you will earn 2% on your $35 daily till it pays out 120% which is $42.
The magic however is in buying more adpacks and compounding.
Let's say you can afford to purchase 50 adpacks , 50 x $ 35adpacks = $1,750.
Don't get scared, this is just an example, start with whatever you can afford.
Now, 2% of $1,750 will earn you $35 daily, meaning you would be able to purchase a new adpack every single day to increase your earnings.
The more adpacks you have, the more you earn.
If you can't afford to buy more adpacks, you can start slowly and build up.
Note however that, revenue shares are not investment programs.
You pay to advertise your business to other members globally and get paid for the revenue generated daily from the adpack sales.
If you have no other business to advertise, no worries, you can pay little to no attention to that part and still make money.
Most of us are only here for the money anyway!
In Revenue shares, all you need to do is set a goal for how much you want to earn daily and work towards it.
If you are ready to make money online with Revenue shares, contact me on the contact page for coaching on how to get started.
There are so many ways to make money with a blog but for beginners, I'd like for us to to talk about making money with viral blogs. I don't normally use this approach since I am more focused on other areas like coaching, creating and selling my own digital products on my blog, etc.
Don't worry, I will teach you all that, but as a newbie or beginner, getting started with a viral blog is the quickest way, the rest will follow later.
This could 'easily' earn you around $50 a day or more, if you work it out rightly.
I know you must be thinking how difficult it would be to set up and design a professional blog, no worries I will design it for you!
I have been very busy the past months, growing my online businesses and establishing a couple of new blogs. A lot of people messaged me to help them set up their own blogs and monetize them.
Due to my busy schedule, I responded that I would get back to them later.
I have some free time on my hands now so I want to dedicate the months of May and June to help those who have blogging aspirations and also desire to make money from blogging.
Before I address the subject at hand, I want to say that I really hate it when some bloggers exploit their followers to make money by promising them they would set up blogs for them, only to leave them hanging and confused, not knowing what to do next.
What most of these bloggers do is they only help you get the domain, set up the website building tool for you, and leave you to your inexperienced fate!
What they did was the easiest part, and it would be up to the beginners to set up the difficult parts themselves.
These so called master or experienced bloggers promise you you'd start making money with your blog soon, as you begin to imagine how life is going to be all rosy when you start blogging, until you start and find out the hard way that you are just at level 1 out of 1 billion levels!
All what these bloggers care about is the affiliate commission they'd earn from the hosting company, or the fees they'd charge you. The annoying part is they charge you ridiculous amounts but teach you nothing.
They don't tell you the truth about how to make money from blogging, and they don't teach you enough.
Here you are as a newbie who knows little to nothing about website design and some very technical aspects about setting up a blog; how would you manage to weather the storm when your experienced teacher has left you to your fate? If this is how you enrich yourself as a blogger, I'd advice you to put a halt to that and provide value for what people pay for.
Now to the subject matter; how do you make money from Viral/Entertainment/News blogs?
Viral blogs are on the upsurge because it is easier to copy or modify news from other sources, post it on your blog and promote it on social media.
On the other side of blogging : 'content blogging', it is very difficult to sit down to write valuable and original 1,500 to 2,000 word contents and optimize it for search engine indexing!
Everyone is running away from blogs like this, since it is very annoying and demanding, especially if writing is not a hobby of yours.
The easy way now for beginners is Viral blogging, and I want to share with you, the knowledge I have acquired about making money with Viral blogs, among many others.
But first, you need to set up and design your blog, I am willing to design it for you as a beginner and as time goes on and you become conversant with your blog dashboard, I will gradually teach you how to design a website too, aside coaching you on how to monetize your blog to make money from it.
What You Will Learn:
How To Monetize Your Blog.
How To Make Money From Viral or Entertainment Blogs.
How To Make $10 Over And Over Again From Your Blog.
How To Get More Referrals(Signups) For Your Online Business Using Your Blog.
How To Brand Yourself As A Leader Using Your Blog To Attract Prospects Like Magnet.
How To Write Hotcake Promotional Adverts.
How To Make Money From Blogging Without Adsense.
How To Get More Traffic From Facebook.
How To Get Your Blog Indexed In Google Search.
How To Spend Less Money On Your Facebook Ads.
How To Select A Good Website Domain Or Niche.
I Will Design Your Blog For You!
And lastly after the training, I'd teach you how to design a website later!
Who Is This For???
Maybe you enjoy writing and you want to set up a blog to express yourself.
Perhaps you want to set up a blog for your business.
Maybe you have an online business that requires referring but you struggle to refer.
Maybe you want to make money from blogging.
It could also be that you already own a blog but struggle to make money from it.
Perhaps you are just curious about owning a blog and want to have one for the fun of it…
If your story is among the above, I am willing to help you set up your blog and even design it for you!
I am willing to give you in-depth coaching on how to make money from your blog.
What Is The Cost?
Most of these top bloggers charge ridiculous amounts for just setting up the website creation tool for you, and that is it!
I am going to serve you with all the above, and even sacrifice my sleep to design your blog for you!
Like I mentioned, most of these so called top bloggers charge ridiculous amounts like 300 cedis, plus monthly charges to teach you nothing!
A website developer would charge you around 500 to 1,000 cedis to design your blog for you!
So the value of the package I'd give you is around 109,037.11 Naira .
But I am willing to cut the price drastically to an incredible fee of just 11,000 Naira, unbelievable, just 11,000 Naira!
Meaning, I will design your website for you free of charge! Cool deal, you won't get this anywhere.
But you would also need to pay for your website domain and hosting.
If you don't know what a domain is, your domain is your website address.
Eg: www.smartincomeoffice.com.
A host is the company that handles all of your website's data.
Don't worry I will teach you how to get a cheap domain and pay a small amount for hosting services as a beginner.
You won't spend more than 5,815 Naira for your domain registration and hosting, trust me.
In total you'd spend just a little above 14,538 Naira (Tutorial fee+Hosting Services+Domain Registration), this is cheap! I spend over 109,037.11 Naira for hosting for this blog alone!
I know such amount is too huge for a beginner, reason why I'm going to teach you how to get reliable and cheap website hosting and domain registration as a beginner.
I am doing this because I want to help those who desire to own blogs but can't afford it.
Cheap, Get In Quick
This is a promotion I am running on smart income office.
Once this promotion is over, I am not going to accept more requests, since it is too much work.
I didn't want to do it in the first place because of the work involved, but I have to sacrifice and help those who keep on texting me via whatsapp and email to help them set up blogs, to enable them make money from blogging.
This is only an offer that I would close very soon; if you are interested, get in quick.
When I get a certain number of feedback, I won't take anymore requests since it is a lot of work.
I would set up a whatsapp forum where training would be held.
Contact me to book your spot before I close this promo; it is a lot of work, trust me.
I wish to but I can't accept too many people. Serious people only though, I won't respond to the non-serious ones.
So for 11,000 Naira, I am going to give you in-depth coaching on how to make money from blogging and also build and design your blog for you, I can't even believe I'm doing this!
I have to prepare for lots of sleepless nights!
Contact me, get in quick as I would close all orders after the numbers reach my intake limit.
NB: It is best for you to get a PC if you don't have one before we get started, this is a PC affair, not a mobile phone affair.

Youtube is a goldmine!
You too can make money on Youtube.
One question:
When you watch a video on youtube, do you see that annoying ad that you can't wait to skip?
Well to you it's annoying but to another person it's business!
Yes, anytime you watch that video and the ad is displayed, the owner of that video makes money!
You may be asking, how?
You see, major companies purchase advertising on youtube just as they do on tv and radio.
But since most of the videos don't belong to youtube but individuals, youtube unselfishly decided to pay for ads displayed on your video.
So these companies pay owners of Youtube: Google, to display their ads on your videos.
Google then share the money they make with the video owners.
That surely sounds good right?
Don't be singing Hallelujah yet!
You won't be rich overnight because you get paid few cents per hundreds of views.
That shouldn't discourage you because it is all about hard work and numbers!
If you are able to rake in hundreds of thousands of views, you can only imagine your potential income.
Yes you can do it too if others are doing it.
Musicians get millions and millions of views on youtube and I am certain most of them have monetized their videos.
Most of these musicians make good money here.
Don't worry if you have no idea about monetizing your youtube videos, we shall come to that later.
So don't waste your time on youtube by only making others rich; you can set up your business over there too.
You may be saying to yourself; oh I'm no musician and I have no music videos, how do I make money on youtube?
Well, you don't need to be a musician to make money on youtube.
Let me give you some few practical tips:
The next time you go on holiday trips, vacations, excursions, expeditions, hiking, camping etc, don't just take selfies and pose like an agama lizard to post on facebook for 200 likes and go sleep hungry! Are you gonna eat those likes?
As a matter of fact, Mark Zuckerberg should be paying us for the time we spend on facebook.
He should be paying us for the likes, status updates, comments, the videos we upload etc
If he's not gonna do it, youtube is doing it, so take advantage.
When you go on such pleasure trips, don't just take selfies. Capture unique places on camera, take pictures of interesting stuffs to make a slide show video for youtube, take videos of unique places that people will be interested to watch etc.
The prank videos you watch on youtube, it's not all about making you laugh; they are banking in the dollar every time you visit youtube to go have a laugh.
Same applies to the football highlights you watch on Youtube daily; the owners of those videos are making a living from your views.
You may be very good at doing something, why don't you post a tutorial video on youtube?
The next step is to upload them on youtube and give them interesting and catchy "Titles" that would make viewers eager to click that stubborn play button.
You can then promote these videos on various advertisement platforms such as facebook, instagram, twitter etc.
You can choose to purchase advertising on facebook and instagram to promote the videos too for larger views.
There goes Mark Zuckerberg again; he's not paying us what we deserve yet he is taking more from us.
If you have no idea how to create advertisement on facebook, just click here to follow the step by step guidelines.
You only need a credit/debit card and a facebook fan page with over 200 likes to be qualified
Our next topic is the step by step guide on how to monetize your videos. It is not difficult to monetize your videos. I have put together a step by step guide on how to monetize your videos. After uploading your videos on Youtube, just follow the steps I outlined here: STEP BY STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO MONETIZE YOUR YOUTUBE TO MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR VIDEOS
Just follow the steps and you'd be good to go.
But note that Google has exempted some countries from youtube video monetization.
Fortunately Ghana is included now, but if your country is exempted and you have relatives in other parts of the globe, you can register with their address.
That is what I did when Ghana wasn't included- I used a UK address.
To the cyber smart ones, you can't beat Google.
So don't try to change your IP to that of a foreign country's IP to register.
After registration, Google would send a mail which contains a special code, to the address you stated in the registration form, to confirm your address.
So if you give a fake address and they send the mail to that address, how would you access the code?
Never also try to monetize Videos that do not belong to you else Youtube will ban you; they have mechanisms in place to check this.
NB: Please be informed that Google recently introduced a new policy that video creators need to get 10,000 views or more before monetization would be enabled! This means you need to get 10,000 views before you's be able to monetize your Youtube video! The bar has been raised, but you can do it as others are doing it too.
4.Offline Affiliate Marketing For The Broke Man:
Maybe you are dead broke and don't have the means to start any of the above.
Well, an easy way for a dead broke man to make money in Nigeria is to sell other people's products!
Looking around, there aren't too many products that would make you some nice income, so I recommend selling other people's cars!
I'd give you a trick for free.
Just visit a car garage, talk to the owners about your intentions and strike a deal.
The fact is most of these owners don't know much about social media, ecommerce, online marketing etc.
'Yob' them(convince them that you can help sell the cars quickly if you post pictures and market them online.
With their approval, take pictures of the cars and post on ecommerce sites.
You can choose to also post them on facebook, but for better results, you'd have to use sponsored advertisements, where you pay facebook for more reach.
If you obviously can't afford the daily minimum of $10 facebook charges for sponsored ads, there is a trick you could use to cut down the cost.
Click here to check it out.
I recommend an ecommerce site like olx first though, as you will get better results there, compared to facebook.
But please don't go about taking photo shots of people's vehicles without their approval, lest you get slapped.
It is easy for you to be tagged a thief if you go about taking pictures of people's cars without their consent, and I am sure you know the fate of thieves in the hands of a mob in Ghana or Nigeria.
Make sure you look presentable before you go talk to these owners.
Talk to them and strike a deal first, before you make any attempt to take photos.
Target cars like Toyota Corolla, Vibe Pontiac, Toyota Camry, and the like, since they move faster.
For instance, if the owner is selling the vehicle for a last price of 30,000 in Ghanaian, you could add 500 cedis in your advertisement.
You will make a cool 500 cedis when it is bought. Just do the same for amounts in Naira.
5.Writing And Selling E-books:
Are you an expert in a particular field?
Why don't you write about your knowledge to make money from it?
You would be surprised how successful it would eventually turn out to be.
It could be about body building, weight loss etc
Just take a look around to find out the die needs of people to provide solutions if you have in-depth knowledge about their needs. You will make a lot of money if you are a problem solver.
It doesn't cost much at all to write an ebook in a pdf format and put it up for sale online.
If your book provides a remedy for a sought after niche, you would smile to the bank, and at the same time put smiles on the faces of people.
What do you know? What secrets do you have that would be of benefit to a lot of people?
It is high time you write about it.
Feel free to contact me for coaching on how to publish an ebook.
6.An alternative to the above, is to be a success coach!
This is similar to writing e-books about your expertise, only that with this, you organize pay to attend seminars or conferences instead.
How many times haven't you paid to attend these make money seminars?
These success coaches charge for the knowledge they share with you, in the form of attendance tickets.
The halls are usually full to capacity, so imagine how much they make just from seminar, let alone the products they market to you.
It is all about branding yourself properly and voilaaaaaa, you are ready to go.
People will attend as long as you have a vital information to share.
These success coaches organize these seminars in different cities and countries periodically, and they do make a lot of profit from attendance only.
Feel free to contact me about how to brand yourself to do this.

Minister of National Defense Chen Chao-min (陳肇敏) said yesterday that career soldiers would completely replace conscripts by the end of 2014.
Chen told the legislature's Foreign and National Defense Committee that the process would begin in 2011, while 10 percent of career soldiers would fill up the vacancies left by those who have completed compulsory military service.
All vacancies will be completely filled by the end of 2014 by following the plan.
Chen said more details of the schedule would be proposed to the legislature for review in June.
Individuals wishing to join the military would need high school education at minimum, Chen said.
In addition, people scheduled for their one-year compulsory military service would only have to go through a four-month military boot camp, he said.
Meanwhile, a Defense Ministry official said yesterday that Taiwan was working on creating a think tank to coordinate contacts with the Chinese military.
The official's comments followed last week's assertion by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (溫家寶) that Beijing was ready to hold talks with Taiwan on political and military issues aimed at ending hostility between the two sides.
The official said the purpose of the new liaison organization would be to build mutual trust with the Chinese military "on a step by step basis."
He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject.
"We want to establish a think tank to reduce the unsafe factors in relations between the sides," he said, without elaborating.
Meanwhile, Kyodo News Agency reported yesterday that the defense ministry had earmarked an initial US$230 million to buy 60 UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters from the US amid fresh indications the US Congress will likely approve the deal.

What is Kung Fu?
Kung fu is not one system of fighting but rather a term that has come to be translated as 'Chinese martial arts'.
It encompasses many forms of combat including external and internal ones, and has roots in the country that can be traced back at least 1,500 years.

The term 'Shaolin' is often translated as meaning 'young/new forest', as taught by 20th century Tai Chi master Chang Dsu Yao.
However this translation has been deemed incorrect by Scholars, who now state the 'Shao' refers to Mount Shaoshi where the original temple was built; though 'lin' does mean forest.

The History of Kung Fu
Kung fu (also known as gong fu) is, contrary to popular belief, not a martial art in of itself but has come to mean 'Chinese Martial Arts' in Western societies.
The correct meaning however is any skill that is learned through hard work and practice, or more literally it can be said to mean 'human achievement'.
That said, the term kung fu is easily recognisable and is therefore a useful term for the Westerner as an umbrella phrase used to describe the various fighting systems to come out of China, especially those that derive from the Shaolin and other temples.
The term first appeared in the West in its modern context in the 18th century when it was used by the French Jesuit missionary Jean Joseph Marie Amiot. However it did not become a widely used phrase until the 1960s, when it was popularized by Bruce Lee and his kung fu fighting films; prior to this, the term 'Chinese Boxing' was a more common way to describe martial arts from the country.
Tracing the History of Kung Fu
As is the case with many world martial arts, tracing the history of kung fu is difficult as for many years, people outside of the military were forbidden to learn it on pain of death. As a result, much of the teachings were never written down and a considerable amount of what was recorded has been lost or destroyed over the centuries.
The importance of the teachings of the Shaolin monks in the Henan Province cannot be overstated as it was here that anything resembling modern Chinese martial arts was started. It is claimed that a fighting system was developed there as a direct result of the teachings of an Indian Buddhist monk called Bodhidharma (pictured above), who taught the monks there a set of Yogic movements to help improve their general fitness and wellbeing.
Over the years, different systems emerged from various parts of the county that have resulted in a rich tapestry of styles that developed in different ways depending on the needs of the people in a particular time and place. Different philosophies, weapons and movements are utilized but all can be said to be kung fu; be it in the Western or the literal interpretation of the words as all are disciplines that demand constant practice over a lifetime if one has any hope of becoming a master.

What Are the Treatments for Skin Irritations From Creosote?
Creosote is a mixture of chemicals for various uses, including as pesticides, wood preservatives, roofing, and road paving. The International Agency for Research on Cancer identifies creosote as a human carcinogen. Ingestion of high levels of creosote has many negative health effects, including stomach pains, respiratory problems, skin irritation, and kidney and liver damage. Creosote is an irritant to the skin and causes skin damage such as blistering or peeling upon contact.
Symptoms of Creosote Poisoning
You can be exposed to creosote by working in an industry with creosote use, such as in coke-producing or asphalt industries, living in a house treated with creosote, eating fish from contaminated water or drinking water contaminated by a hazardous waste site. Medical tests are not available to determine creosote exposure. Doctors can take test tissue, blood and urine samples to detect chemicals in creosote, such as phenols and pyrene, but these tests are unusual because of the requirements of special laboratory equipment. Symptoms of creosote skin exposure include redness and a burning sensation 1. You may also experience vomiting, respiratory difficulties, headaches and convulsions.
Remove contaminated clothes immediately upon creosote exposure on skin. Rinse and wash skin with large amounts of cold water and soap for at least 10 minutes. A thorough showering and shampooing may be required to remove chemicals from the scalp and hair. Contact a physician to examine the skin if pain continues after washing.
Avoid performing activities that may cause further exposure to creosote. Avoid sunlight, which may aggravate the skin condition. Treat symptoms of burning and irritation of skin topically with lotions, creams or ointments such as aloe vera gel, which has natural healing properties. Ask your physician or pharmacist for the most appropriate product.

At the time of this writing, BoP is just beginning. Nevertheless, BoP will be finalized a week before the race at the latest, so keep an eye out for updates from me. As of right now, I'm not adding any new cars to the list. However, the next car pack drops soon I think, so that may change. In the meantime, test with the builds that are currently posted. Also, I can definitely confirm that the 924 will finally get its widebody. Even though the tire width options are broken...
As for the date of the race, the poll with the time options is below. This time around, I only have 10 different time options, mostly Sundays unfortunately. May is a pretty busy month. Nevertheless, I'm sure there's an option that will work for mostly everyone. And I'm home from school now so I can host the lobby again! In addition, there is also voting for weather conditions. For weather, there are four options: day, rain, night, or real world conditions. For rain, I'll probably just randomly select various conditions for the different segments of the race, excluding heavy rain and thunderstorms because I don't want the race to be a complete mess. Real world conditions would follow the real weather forecasts for Stavelot, Belgium the day of the race, again excluding dangerous conditions. Y'all lucked out for Sebring and now Maple Valley too with a clear race, but maybe this time we can get some rain. Though to be honest, I've done some night laps and think this would be the perfect race to run at night.
I'll be reposting this over the next few days, and if anything changes I'll let you know on one of those posts. If you need help setting up/testing Discord, tuning a car, or whatever else, feel free to message me here or on Discord.

One of the chores that we hate doing the most in our house is the ironing.
There are several reasons for this. Firstly, we have A LOT of clothes that we stupidly allow to build up and build up so that we're then faced with a humongous ironing pile. Secondly, I have a lot of hard to iron clothes as my dad would put it. What he means is, I wear dresses and tops that are complicated shapes, made of fine fabrics and full of layers, frills and heaven knows what else. Lets, face it, they look beautiful on so I'm not about to stop wearing or buying them anytime soon. And lastly, my dad and hubby end up doing the vast majority of the ironing because the iron we have is too heavy for me to be able to lift. That might sound ridiculous to some but to cut a long story short, a couple of years ago, I had an accident which damaged my neck and now I struggle to do things that I could do before, like ironing. I can manage the odd piece but not much more than that which is really frustrating.
Over the years, we've come to realise that steam generator irons are the best way to go and you definitely get what you pay for. We've been using steam generator irons that come with a water tank for easily the last twelve to fifteen years and over normal irons, they do make such a difference. However some are better than others as we've come to find out over years of buying them.
When looking for an iron, we always want something that is going to be high performing, gentle on our garment fabrics and easy to use but until you get it home and start using it, you don't really know how well it is going to work for you. This is what happened when we bought our last iron as while it irons jersey and cotton fabrics well, it isn't great at steaming chiffon style fabrics which a lot of my dresses are made from. Plus it is really heavy which means that I can't really use it comfortably now. So we knew that for our next iron, not only did it need to be efficient, high performing and gentle on our clothes but it also had to be light weight too.
When Philips asked me to test out their PerfectCare Elite Iron, I was more than happy to as soon as I read that it is their lightest iron, before I even found out about all of the other great features it has. You see, while it may sound great to be able to get out of doing the ironing, it does get pretty annoying when you want to wear a particular outfit and can't because it is completely creased. The ironing was always my job in the house, amongst others, before my accident so I feel really guilty that I can't do as much around the house as I used to.
The Philips PerfectCare Elite Iron is their best and most efficient steam generator iron yet and over the last month, we've all be putting it to the test here at WhatLauraLoves HQ and I've gathered our thoughts together for this blog post to give you a thorough review.
Aesthetically, this iron really looks the business with its crisp white iron, silver accents and dark blue tank. Not that its appearance makes any difference to the performance of the iron but it does make it pretty to look at.
Size wise, the base is fairly large but the chord to connect it to the iron is very long so you can easily leave the base on a kitchen work top and the iron will easily stretch to the ironing board.
The great thing about the the design of this iron is that you don't need to keep putting it back onto the base station while you're ironing. You can simply leave the hot soleplate of the iron on the ironing board without burning the cover, thanks to the safe rest feature, which is great if you've left the base on the bench and you're just stretching over to the board. I especially like this because it means that I'm not having to lift the base of the iron at all which could be quite heavy for me, although the iron itself is incredibly light weight.
However, should you need to move the iron and base for any reason, this iron does have a very good safety feature that clicks into place to attach and hold the iron securely to the base to stop it from falling or sliding off which I think is an excellent idea. Surely every iron should have this feature?
To set the iron up, all you need to do is to fill up the detachable tank with normal tap water. It takes a whopping 1.8litres so the perfect size if you have a large family with lots of ironing to do and again, there's no need to move the base as the tank comes out so theres no heavy lifting or potential of dropping it. Even if the water tank runs out of water while you're ironing, as indicated by the red warning light on the base, you can easily refill it without having to wait a while or turn off the iron first which my husband in particular, really liked the idea of. When he's ironing, he likes to power through and get it all done in one go as he finds that if he has to stop mid way, he gets bored and finds it a chore to have to come back to the ironing!
After you've filled the tank up, you simply plug it in and switch it on. Theres a blue light on the iron that will flash to show that it is heating up and after two minutes, it stops flashing to indicate that the iron is good to go. It really is that easy.
Aside from off and on, there are only two modes to choose from which are indicated by buttons on the back of the base of the iron; ECO and Turbo Steam Mode. ECO is the one that you would select if you wanted to save energy as when using this mode, the iron produces less steam which enables you to save energy but still get a great result with your ironing. In comparison, Turbo Steam Mode generates far more steam which enables you to power through your ironing at an even faster pace.
We have tried out the ECO and Turbo Steam Modes on a range of garments and have found them to work equally as well although we do prefer the speed of the latter mode, especially when we have a lot of items to get through, or if the item we're ironing has a particularly thick fabric or feature, such as a statement pocket made of a different fabric to the rest of the top.
What was very apparent for all of us from using this iron is that it does actually work far more effectively and efficiently than any other we have had in the past. It powers through creases incredibly well and leaves the garment looking pristine in no time. That is undoubtedly due to having up to a 6.7 bar pressure which is the measure of the amount of steam generated by the iron. Steam generator irons have a far higher level of steam generation that regular irons where you fill the actual iron up with water anyway because the separate base enables them to generate more steam but the Philips PerfectCare Elite Iron generates a significantly high amount which basically means that you can iron much faster than you would with another iron. The stream of steam is consistent and powerful which enables it to penetrate deep inside garments to iron them more efficiently and effectively.
Saving time is really important to us all as we're very busy people who are always rushing around so we don't have a lot of time spare for household chores. To find that this iron could help us to complete our ironing pile in half the time than it would usually take was revolutionary for us. I do think that the bar pressure definitely has a lot to do with it because it generates so much steam that gets creases out of my clothes like never before. However I also think that the Philips OptimalTEMP technology plays a massive part in it too.
OptimalTEMP technology is an innovative invention that is essentially the perfect combination of steam and temperature which enables you to iron all fabrics with one perfect setting. This saves so much time as with other irons we've have in the past, we've had to stop ironing, adjust the setting to suit the garment and then wait for the iron to become ready for use again. With OptimalTEMP, I'm able to iron anything that I want in any order, all on the same setting.
I discovered this when ironing my plus size Christmas party dress which you can see in my outfit post here. I knew from the word go that this would be a pain and a half to iron; it was even creased in the shop so by the time it had sat in the carrier bag for a few days, the creases were even worse.
The dress has a floral lace overlay on the top, then a floaty, chiffon style fabric and a delicate lined underskirt with a structured mesh trim. It was advised on the label to iron this piece on a low heat but I was able to iron it perfect on the same setting as everything else that I had been ironing that day from a cashmere jumper to a cotton vest top. I ironed the underskirt on the board and then hooked the dress over the door to use the iron to steam it upright. Obviously I'm just giving you an idea in these photos as my set up wasn't ideal with me trying to catch some natural daylight but I'm sure you get the gist.
What I immediately noticed about this iron is how incredibly light weight it is to hold, certainly lighter than any other iron I've used. It really does glide over fabric with next to no effort as with my injury, I certainly can't put my back into such tasks like this. If you have any issues with your wrist, I don't think you'd have a problem with this iron as it is very easy to maneuver and the effect is always smooth regardless of the fabric you're ironing.
With the Philips PerfectCare Elite Steam Generator Iron, you're able to literally iron any iron friendly fabric from denim jeans to silk and chiffon without having to set a specific temperature on the iron as they are guaranteed to not burn, especially with the safe rest technology on the soleplate. This is great for me as I would always get really confused as to which temperature setting to have the iron on and if incorrect, it could lead to burning my clothes. The soleplate itself is Philips' best gliding soleplate and its easy to see why as it powers over garments easily and the pointed tip enables you to easily get right into corners which I have found to be particularly handy for shirts. The soleplate is actually 5 star rated and is integrated with a Titanium-Oxide layer to give it a smooth gliding performance for quicker and easier ironing and to make it scratch resistant.
This iron has an Advanced Smart Control Processor which precisely controls the temperature of the soleplate and an ultra powerful multi-chamber, cyclonic steam engine that delivers a consistent, more powerful steam.
While I haven't needed to do this yet, I am confident that this particular iron would be easy to descale as it. Being able to descale an iron effectively is really important to prolong its lifespan which you should definitely want to do, especially if you've spent a lot of money on it. On the base of the steam generator iron, Philips have positioned their Easy De-Calc Plus function. This will let you know if your iron needs descaling with a light and a sound. All you need to do is to wait until the water is cold and then turn the Easy De-Calc knob with a cup or a jug under it and the dirty water and scale will run out of the base. Sounds pretty simple doesn't it?
The final feature that really sold this iron to me is the safety auto-off feature. This is where the appliance will automatically switch off it it has not been used for 10 minutes. The general aim of this is to save energy but let me ask you this; how many times have you left a room or even got in the car and driven away from the house only to have to return to check you've turned the iron off? I do this ALL the time so having a feature like this where I know my iron will switch itself off is not only good for saving energy but its also even better for saving my peace of mind!
While I don't think I'll ever sit here and say that I love ironing, having a one that works as efficiently as this one certainly means that I don't dread having to pick up the iron because I know that I can get the job done quickly and pristinely the first time round.
If you're someone who does a lot of ironing and likes to get it done quickly then this is definitely worth the investment. Or, if you're someone who struggles to lift other irons because they're too heavy an awkward to hold, then this iron will be perfect for you also as it is so lightweight and easy to maneuver so it doesn't place as much strain on your wrist, arm or up into your neck.
I highly recommend it.

If you are one of those guys who runs a small company or owns a tiny commercial space, then you might have probably found out (to your dismay) that insulating an office space against winter is neither easy nor cheap. This article will help you out with that.
Part 1
The Workstation
1Use a room heater which is centralized.
2Keep the room temperature maintained between 18*c and 21*c, which is ideal. Since the workstation is the most important place in an office where people spend around 8-9 hours per day, winter proofing this area is very important. Room heaters come cheap these days, and since you will need it only for a particular time period (for few months till the winter gets over), go for the cheapest one available.
3Never mind the quality and durability, as you won't need it for a long time.
4Get the help of an electrician to get it installed.Thus using a cheap, low quality, centralized room heater can help keep the workstation warm throughout the season.
5Cram up the area with as much furniture as possible.
6Arrange all the furniture and computers close to each other, so that the atmosphere becomes more perspiring. Empty spaces will help in the circulation of cold air, which should be avoided.
7Place large woolen rugs on the floor, so that it insulates the room from the cold.
8Instruct the employees to come wearing thick woolen dresses during the season. If necessary, just chuck off the professional dress code for the time being.
Part 2
The Conference Hall
1Use thick, dark colored curtains to cover up the windows. But also make sure that the curtains look professional.
- String curtains are a good choice, due to their cold insulating and temperature maintaining properties.
2Provide hot water to the people, while a meeting is going on. Also keep the supply of hot water refilled constantly.
3Use heavy lighting. This will help in two ways. You will have the liberty to keep the windows and doors shut and the curtains drawn due to the availability of artificial lighting. Heavy lighting will also increase the heat inside.
4Seal the gaps around the windows and doors using wooden planks. Also insulate the room by covering up all the gaps on the walls, with proper insulating materials.
Part 3
The Cafeteria
1Build up a fireplace. Unlike the other 'professional' rooms, this place can have a homely fire going on in a large fireplace.
2Prepare and serve hot drinks such as tea, coffee, chocolate milk etc and steaming snacks for the employees at regular intervals.
3Keep woolen throws ready for the employees, so that they can warm up themselves during breaks.

- Make sure that the overcrowding and close positioning of the furniture and computers in the workstation does not interrupt with the networking of the computers.
- Continuously check and maintain the room heaters to avoid any electrical hazards.

Shanghai R3 previews and predictions: Monfils v Goffin, Pouille v Murray, Simon v Wawrinka
Gael Monfils v David Goffin at the Shanghai Rolex Masters
The outcome of this match is a mystery. Goffin can hardly be predicted now. But the Belgian will definitely have troubles against Monfils. David will have to attack as the French male easily surrenders the match initiative, while Goffin prefers to stay in defense. Gael's service play is also more reliable.
Betting pick: Negative handicap market on Monfils.
Lucas Pouille v Andy Murray at the Shanghai Rolex Masters
Pouille prefers to win at the cost of his strong attacks. But despite this, the 22-year-old Frenchman will hardly stop Murray from taking his third Shanghai title. The Scot looks unbeatable now. Seemingly, he deserves to occupy the first ranking position. However, Lucas is young and powerful. His talent may help him to hold the positive handicap in games.
Betting pick: Murray is the favorite, but we advise to play on the positive handicap market.
Gilles Simon v Stan Wawrinka at the Shanghai Rolex Masters
The in-form Gilles Simon has been showing enough consistency, good movements and court placement as well as wonderful playing technique. However, all this may backfire on him when the French faces Stan Wawrinka. Stan stays focused throughout the entire and will definitely hit the opponent off the court. The both will have chances to covert a break point but the Swiss is more preferable.
Betting pick: The attacking potential will predetermine the outcome of the match. But the handicap market odds are very close so we advise not to bet on the match.

New York, Sep 27, 2006
The plenary meeting on emergency preparedness brought together nearly one hundred professionals, experts and leaders from the homeland security standards and conformity assessment community to address the various security issues facing the nation today.
In his version of effective emergency preparedness, Chief Pfeifer stated that standards needed to take into consideration capability, capacity, proficiency and deployment. He expressed his belief that if we can provide measurable standards and incentives for emergency preparedness, the public and private sectors will work hard to achieve them.
Chief Pfeifer concluded his remarks by stating, "The 9/11 Commission report identified a lack of connecting the dots. We in emergency preparedness continue to strive to connect these dots, both locally and nationally, and standards are a key factor in helping to make sure that we are successful in these efforts."
Dr. Bert Coursey, standards executive, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate, provided an update on the DHS standards technical program and its efforts in the areas of emergency preparedness and response.
A panel session on assessment, accreditation and certification in private sector preparedness and business continuity provided insight into how several major corporations address emergency preparedness and how standards, especially NFPA 1600, play an important role in their efforts.
Additional panel sessions examined public sector preparedness; credentialing for emergency responders and on-scene personnel; and the work of standards developers, such as ASTM International, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the International Code Council (ICC), in developing standards solutions for emergency preparedness.
Meeting participants met in breakout sessions to identify existing standards work, where there are gaps, and possible action items for the ANSI-HSSP and the standards communities. The areas of focus for these breakouts were planning for a global pandemic; mass/public transportation security; and all-hazards planning, response and recovery. Additional potential areas for ANSI-HSSP future exploration were raised throughout the two days, such as accommodating the needs of persons with disabilities in emergency preparedness standards.
Presentations from the meeting and a summary of the proceedings will be available to meeting attendees and Panel members on the ANSI-HSSP website. For more information or to join the ANSI-HSSP, please contact Matt Deane, director of homeland security standards (firstname.lastname@example.com).

What is believed to be the largest ship to visit the harbour in the history of Blyth, in Northumberland, arrived on Feb 21.
The Norwegian-owned heavy lift transport Albatross, 34,925gt, carried the jackup barge GMS Evolution, 5,614gt, which will be used to support the installation of offshore wind farms in the North Sea.
Blyth's chief executive Martin Lawlor said: "Receiving the Albatross and the GMS Evolution is another milestone achieved within a few months by the port. Gulf Marine Services have a number of important tasks for the GMS Evolution and her sister ship GMS Services, 5,614gt, which is already at our South Harbour terminal and we look forward to supporting those tasks."
One of the UK's fastest growing offshore energy bases, Blyth is also home to the energy market leaders Global Marine, Royal IHC, DeepOcean and Osbit.

A quick and creamy cauliflower and sweet potato curry with a delicious almond and turmeric based sauce. Serve with roti's or rice, some pickled red cabbage or other picked vegetables and spiced yoghurt.
You can make a quick 'pickled' cabbage by slicing 1/4 of a red cabbage, add a few tbsp of red wine vinegar, a pinch of salt, 1 tsp honey or maple syrup and 100ml water to a pan and bring to the boil. Let it cool and pour over the cabbage. Mix well with your hands and set aside for an hour.
Serves – 4
Preparation time – 20 minutes
Cooking time – 40 minutes
- 1 cauliflower broken into medium florets
- 1 large sweet potato chopped to medium size chunks
- 2 onions
- 1 piece of thumb sized ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 green chilli's
- Spices – 2 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp yellow mustard, 1 tsp fenugreek seeds
- 4 tbsp ground almonds
- 500 ml vegetable stock or water
- 2-3 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Sliced spring onions and coriander to serve
- 6 tbsp of your choice of dairy / non dairy yoghurt
- 1 tbsp ghee, butter or olive oil
- A pinch of – chilli flakes, cumin seeds, mustard seeds & 1 tsp curry leaves
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1/4 cucumber peeled and finely diced
Make the curry paste. Process one of the onions, the garlic and ginger to a pulp. If you do not have a food processor, pound them together in a pestle and mortar.
Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a casserole pot, roughly chop the other onion and fry for a few minutes on a moderate heat. Add all the spices and cook for a few minutes before adding the curry paste and simmering together for ten minutes more, combining everything very well.
Add the cauliflower and the sweet potato gently combining with the other ingredients before adding 4 tbsp ground almonds, the stock or water and salt. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer with the lid on for ten minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for another 15 minutes. At this point the sauce should be thick. If not let it cook for a few minutes longer. Let it rest whilst you prepare the yoghurt.
Combine the yoghurt with the cucumber and zest. Heat the oil, ghee or butter in a small pan and gently fry with the spices for a few minutes. Add to the yoghurt and swizzle a little bit.
Serve the curry with a sprinkle of coriander, mint or dill, the yoghurt, cabbage and some rice or roti.

One of the prettiest devices to have launched during the IFA in Berlin this year was Lenovo's Vibe X2. The Chinese OEM isn't the most experienced with cellphone manufacture, but this time round it did manage to churn out quite a looker. Thanks to it having a MediaTek MT6595m baked into it, it's certified to be a decent performer as well.
The overall design language of the Vibe X2 is minimalistic, save for the sides which give you an impression of a 'layered' slab. Fortunately for Lenovo, the design turned out to be extremely well accepted. Besides the aforementioned MediaTek MT6595m SoC, the Vibe X2 features a 5-inch 1080p display, a 13 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front facing camera, 2GB of RAM, and a 2300mAh battery of non-removable nature.
Reports fresh from Lenovo's home country of China tell us that the company is working on a larger and thinner version of the device. You could say it is quite out of the blue, since the Vibe X2 has only started to be available in a lot of markets; but Lenovo seems to have realized that 5 inches of screen simply doesn't cut it for a lot of users. And that's why, the new and updated version of the Vibe X2 will feature not a 5 inch screen, but a 5.3 inch one. While the change in size is marginal, lovers of the large screen form factor will definitely appreciate the change.
Despite the increased size, the display will continue to feature a 1920 x 1080p resolution. It'll chuck the 2GHz octa-core for a more feeble-sounding 1.5GHz SoC, but we're not certain about the model yet (it'll still be octa-core and from MediaTek, though). Lastly, the thickness will be reduced from 7.3mm to an impressive 6.8mm, which makes it look like Lenovo are going for the style conscious with this one. An entry for this device was found at TENAA, which you can think of as the Chinese equivalent of the FCC. There's no official information available as yet, but expect Lenovo to start talking about it soon.

Children are more sensitive to bitter tastes because a lot of poisonous plants taste bitter, as you become older you become less sensitive to it, and can taste the more subtle planty-spicey-warm taste in some veggies.
Check your vegetable puree, it may have added sugar of some sort in it. Kids are more sensitive to sugar because the parts of plants that they want eaten tend to be sweet. (They want their fruit eaten and spread, so most fruit is sweet, while their leaves and stems taste bitter/spicy to dissuade being eaten.)
Fun fact: Peppers aren't spicy to birds, because peppers evolved their spice to dissuade mammals from eating them because birds propagate their seeds further than mammals can.
