Looking to pay off debt? Want to earn more money to save for your children's college education? Simply need more cash day-to-day? If you're searching for opportunities to make money from home, take a look at these five ways you can make significant money online.
Put your place up for rent.
Have a spare bedroom? With 150 million users on Airbnb, this site is the perfect place to rent out your room out and make some money. If you are a great host and you have a desirable living space, you can add hundreds – maybe even thousands – of dollars to your bank account each month. Vacation Rentals By Owner, or VRBO, is another site to try.
To make the most money, offer your space during high-demand times in the area you live in such as conventions, concerts and sporting events. Be a great host, offering toiletries similar to a hotel, like soap, toilet paper and washcloths and towels. Make sure you're personable too. Travelers often use Airbnb and VRBO because they appreciate the personal touch it offers over traditional lodging.
Gamble online.
You can make a lot of money if you play casino games online as long as you have a strategy and spending parameters. Before you dive in, keep in mind it's smart to learn about the games before you play and avoid complicated bets. Play max credits and opt for machines with the smallest jackpots for better odds of winning.
Start freelance writing.
One of the most popular ways to earn cash online is by freelance writing. Writing does take commitment and skill, but if you are willing to build your portfolio and resume and are dedicated to the job, it can be highly profitable. According to Payscale.com, the average freelance writer makes just under $25/hour. Begin by building an online presence through the help of a blog, then you can start bidding on jobs. Freelance writing is a lucrative career that allows you to make money online and prepare for your retirement – and you can work from anywhere you choose.
Sell your things on eBay.
The online selling market has been on the rise for years. If you aren't sure how to get started, always remember that honesty pays off. Tell people about your used items – every scratch and dent – so you can reduce negative reviews. Take great photos of the items you're selling so your products stand apart from others. Last but not least, always do good business. Even when you're selling items online and not face-to-face, you still have to prioritize customer service. Respond to any questions or concerns promptly, just like you would except a business to do for you.
Create YouTube videos.
If you have the ability to generate a following, you can utilize YouTube advertising to make some money. Whether your videos are humorous, feature pets or offer toy reviews, YouTube is one way you can monetize your favorite hobby.
Keep in mind that you won't grow an audience overnight, but once you grow your fan base you can make some solid cash. The average revenue for 1,000 YouTube views is $6, so create something people will love and watch the money add up.

With some surveys suggesting that almost two thirds of small companies are committed to becoming more SEO-conscious by 2017, advisers say they ought to learn more about the principles of digital marketing. In addition, these companies may find it necessary to solicit outside help so that they can capitalize on multiple marketing techniques. Search engine optimization users need to diversify their marketing techniques to improve their brand's effectiveness on their own sites as well as in other venues such as social media.
Working with an SEO company remained relatively uncommon as of early 2016 when only 34 percent of small companies did so. Because the SEO industry lacks universal best practices, however, advisers say that it's important for businesses to be extremely discerning in their evaluation of potential partners. Although 19 percent of companies stated it took a couple of tries to find the right SEO firm, working with one might provide improved ROI and other important advantages.
Small businesses may decide not to pursue SEO because they don't fully understand how it works. Observers say that there are many guides that can help and suggest learning about topics like search engine functionality and brand presence.
Business arrangements evolve as leaders seek to accommodate diverse marketing plans and operating strategies. In some cases, these changes may include new partnerships with firms that provide specific services, such as digital marketing management or campaign analysis. Although some of these relationships constitute one-time purchases of services or products, like digital content, others are more long term and may involve the sharing of sensitive business data. In that regard, an attorney may be helpful in preparing a confidentiality agreement.

Inflation of DaVinci Transamerica in Tillamook, Oregon. Vera Simons (pilot) and Dr. Fred Hyde (copilot) look on.
A careful log was kept of the Da Vinci Transamerica flight. The balloonists noted the date and time, location (including latitude and longitude), mean altitude above sea level (MSL), and remarks.
The last page of the flight log for the DaVinci Transamerica flight. Note the last entry, when the balloon was forced down by the storm.
The crew of the DaVinci II flight: Jimmie Craig, Vera Simons, and Rudy Englemann, which took place in 1974.
An equipment test is made by the Project da Vinci crew and technicians before launching the 70-foot helium-filled balloon on the first da Vinci flight in 1974. The square, two-tier gondola was designed by Vera Simons. The top tier was used for work and piloting. The lower tier was used for storage, batteries, sleeping bags, etc.
The crew of daVinci Transamerica: top row (left to right) Vera Simons, Rudy Engelmann, bottom row (left to right) Randy Birch, and Fred Hyde. The flight was sponsored by 7-Up.

Afloat in the dirty air - the Transamerica flight.
Da Vinci Transamerica was launched from Tillamook, Oregon on September 26, 1979.
The Transamerica was forced down in Lima, Ohio, because of a storm. It stayed aloft for 133 hours.
A lengthy balloon flight requires a lot of preparation. This is the equipment list for the Transamerica flight in 1979.
The weight of everything that is carried on a balloon flight must be known.
Vera Simons and the Da Vinci Balloon Project
No woman played a more important role in balloon development and exploration than Vera Simons. Born in Detroit, Michigan, she married Otto Winzen, whom she met through the aeronaut Jean Piccard. Vera borrowed money from her parents to help Otto establish Winzen Research, one of the world's first plastic balloon companies, and held two-thirds ownership of the company.
Vera excelled at running the factory. She supervised the personnel and trained them to handle polyethylene and build giant balloons. She constantly improved construction techniques and redesigned the envelopes themselves. During her decade with Winzen Research, she obtained four patents and established herself as the finest plastic balloon builder in the world.
Vera was very proud of the "balloon girls" she trained. They made very few mistakes during balloon construction and none was ever fired for negligence. The company had good training methods, frequent task rotation, and liberal rest periods. There also was a strong sense of accomplishment. Whenever a Winzen balloon was launched, Vera made sure the team that had built the balloon saw the liftoff. "To see what you've made come alive," Vera would say, "that's pretty damned exciting."
A central figure in planning and executing the series of Air Force and Navy manned research flights of the 1950s and 1960s, Vera divorced Otto Winzen during the Manhigh III project. Vera sold her interest in Winzen Research and enrolled in art school in Washington, D.C. Two years later she married another recently divorced balloonist, David Simons.
By then, she was already an accomplished balloonist. Having earned her gas-balloon pilot's license in 1957, she represented the United States at the 30th Annual International Gas Balloon Races in Holland, where she received a gold medal for her contributions to balloon research.
By the early 1970s, having made a name for herself in international art circles, Vera Simons conceived a project that would combine her two loves—art and ballooning. In 1972, following an exhibit of her work in Amsterdam, she began planning a series of balloon flights she called Da Vinci that combined science and original kinetic art. Simons worked with Dr. Rudolf J. Englemann, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientist and former Air Force meteorologist, and received funds from the National Geographic Society, Atomic Energy Commission, private companies, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Simons spent two years designing and supervising the construction of a two-decker fiberglass gondola and polyethylene balloon. An authority on migration of lower-level atmospheric pollutants, Englemann assembled a package of experiments from 25 universities.
The first Da Vinci flight was a 12-hour nighttime flight from Las Cruces to Wagon Mound, New Mexico, in November 1974. The flight collected detailed temperature and airflow data. The second flight, from St. Louis, Missouri, to Griffin, Indiana, in the summer of 1976, gathered data on the mix and movement of urban air pollutants while Simons photographed landscape and cloud images. She sought to use the unique perspective from the balloon to gather landscape and cloud images to be used in producing works of art. She was also anxious to explore the potential of a balloon playing colored lights on the clouds and the ground to create artistic effects.
After another flight from St. Louis, Simons and Engelmann began preparing for their final flight, the Da Vinci Transamerica. The 11-story balloon and split-level gondola were to carry Simons, Engelmann, flight surgeon Fred Hyde, and NBC cameraman Randy Birch across the continental United States for a new overland distance record. The 216,000-cubic-foot helium balloon lifted off a few miles from the shore of the Pacific Ocean in Oregon on September 26, 1979. As the balloon rose above the mountains of the Oregon Coast range, Vera dropped tiny tetrahedron balloons carrying Douglas fir seedlings into cleared areas. As Da Vinci drifted eastward, she took time-lapse photographs, made sound recording, and used mirrors to create special lighting effects for spectators on the ground. As she said, "I like the connection with people on the ground versus the balloon, establishing this dialogue cross-country."
A storm forced the balloon down short of its Norfolk, Virginia, goal, although it set a new overland distance record of 2,003 miles (3,223 kilometers). During the rough landing, one of the heavy NBC cameras used to capture images for the "Today Show" tore loose and broke Simon's left leg in three places.
In 1984, Simons launched another flight, Project Aeolus, in which three plastic balloons, lit from within and connected by gracefully looping strings of lights, were launched simultaneously into the nighttime New Mexico sky. She piloted one of the balloons; another pilot was Joseph Kittinger.
Simons "added another element, an alternate sensibility, to the business of exploring the atmosphere," as Craig Ryan noted. "I feel pretty good," she says, "about the fact that I have been able to use the technology that I learned, and the various facets of it, and put it into what I really care about….I thought all those years running a balloon factory would be lost as far as my art career was concerned. But they weren't."

New Mexico State Universitys College Migrant Assistance Program (CAMP) was named one of the countrys Bright Spots in Hispanic Education. More than 230 programs and organizations are now listed online in the national catalog that recognizes their commitment to narrowing the Latino achievement gap.
Our students are proving how successful we are by landing jobs in their fields of expertise, said Cynthia Bejarano, principal investigator of the program she founded in 2002. We have accountants, CPAs, engineers and teachers who are working in New Mexico and elsewhere Texas, Indiana, California, Ohio so theyre really becoming the ambassadors of the NMSU CAMP program and talking about our good work.
U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M. nominated the NMSU program for the honor.
The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics was established in 1990 to address educational disparities in Hispanic communities. The announcement of this years Bright Spots in Hispanic Education was made at the launch of Hispanic Heritage Month Sept. 15 in honor of the initiatives 25th anniversary.
NMSU CAMP is hosting a reunion next weekend inviting all current and former students of the program to celebrate their success.
I am pleased to see the hard work of NMSUs CAMP recognized nationally, said Dean Christa Slaton, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. The children of migrant farmworker families start college with significant challenges but our caring staff and faculty understand the needs of these students and provide a safe haven of support as well as the academic tools they need to succeed and its been working for more than 13 years.
Bejarano points to surveys of students in the program that indicate 79 percent of NMSU CAMP students who have graduated with bachelors degrees are now in the workforce as professionals in New Mexico alone. The percentage is higher when we account for all NMSU CAMP alumni across the nation.
The program, which provides scholarships and book stipends as well as mentoring for students, has helped nearly 380 students from across New Mexico, West Texas, Arizona and Colorado.
Rocky Navarette, an NMSU senior mechanical engineering student, is a CAMP tutor and peer mentor for the program.
CAMP is an extensive family that has provided me with scholarships, a job and moral support, Navarette said. CAMP has a sense of community rather than just a freshman going to a university on their own. They have taught me to never give up.
In 2012, NMSUs CAMP program, which is part of the College of Arts and Sciences, was among only eight CAMP programs nationwide selected to receive an additional five-year grant from the U.S. Education Office of Migrant Education.
Working in the fields is not easy, Bejarano said. Waking up at 2 or 3 oclock in the morning to go out and pick chiles or pick onions or work in an onion shed is very arduous work. Were able to do what other programs and financial mechanisms are not able to do, to understand the story and the lived experience of our students and help them apply those tools they have learned working in the fields to the academic setting.
The Bright Spots initiative seeks to encourage sharing data-driven approaches, promising practices and effective partnerships that result in increased support for educational attainment of Hispanic youth.
NMSU CAMP alumnus Daniel Ramirez-Gordillo, who not only earned a bachelors degree, but also a masters and Ph.D. at NMSU, is currently conducting research as a post-doctoral fellow at The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
The CAMP program was fundamentally important for my success in college not only as an undergraduate student but as a graduate student as well, Ramirez-Gordillo said. This is a program that I keep close to my heart.

Fresh pasta is a difficult subject for me. It falls into the category of homemade foods that are so many millions of times better than the prepackaged kinds, but which I am still reluctant to play with on a regular basis. All that work for something that I have grown to accept as a ten minute meal between classes, to be doused with marinara sauce from trader joes.
It's the time it takes, which I underestimate every. single. time.
The egg yolks.
What to do with the egg whites?
The flour everywhere.
The rolling.
The lack of my very own pasta machine ugh.
Then comes the sauce of course, the unsolvable dilemma, every time. Because we shy from cream sauces, tomato sauces take forever to cook, and then what else is left? Sauceless tagliatelle? Lame.
Invariably though, I end up with olive oil {which I pass off as a sauce shh} plus a fatty flavorful meat, a dark leafy vegetable, and some extra things thrown in for fun. Sometimes a squeeze of lemon, sometimes a dash of balsamic. Always a sprinkle of a bold, hard cheese. The familiar combinations have made pasta-making a less frustrating and more comforting activity lately, when time is more plentiful during the lazy summer.
Tomorrow, though, I will make a bolognese sauce.
Tagliatelle with Kale, Bacon, and Crimini
4 servings
For the tagliatelle
What you need:
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 eggs
- 1.5 cups AP flour {00 flour for you fancy folks}, plus extra for kneading and rolling
- 1/4 tsp salt
How to do it:
- Mix flour and salt in a bowl until well incorporated. Dump flour onto your favorite dough-kneading surface, and make a well in the middle. Drop in egg yolks and eggs.
- Use fingertips to slowly incorporate flour into the eggs, until a dough ball forms. Sprinkle additional flour to prevent sticking, and knead until fairly smooth. Wrap dough ball in a bowl and let it sit for 30min.
- After 30min, roll dough out to desired thinness either with a pasta machine, or by hand {I like a little less than 1/8inch thick}.
- Boil in salted water for 3min, until pasta is cooked through but retains a little bite to it.
For the toppings
What you need:
- 8 strips bacon, cut into 1 inch strips
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms
- 1/4 cup basil leaves, finely chopped
- 4 cups packed kale, stems removed and roughly chopped
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup Shaved gouda
How to do it:
- Crisp up bacon in frying pan and then discard half the bacon fat.
- Add minced garlic, crimini mushrooms, and basil leaves. Lightly sauté until mushrooms are cooked but not wilted. Add kale leaves and sauté until leaves are bright green and slightly wilted.
- Toss tagliatelle with olive oil and divide into four bowls. Sprinkle each with some pieces of shaved gouda, and then top with the kale, bacon, and crimini mushrooms.

The gift of writing Loving Reminders is for me to practice constant inner connection with Spirit.
It is through sitting and writing everyday that I remember the Highest Truth, the inspiring Truth.
It is being faithful in a practice that supports an open and positive attitude, a loving giving heart and life of service for the Good of All that sustains me.
It is a blessing to have established the habit of inner listening over 30 years ago.
Even more gratitude to have been inspired to write them on computer every morning to be sent around the planet to now thousands of people who have requested receiving them.
Whatever you do well in life requires focus.
To be successful there must be purpose and direction.
To feel fulfilled asks only that we be consistent and constant.
And so it is that inner connection with your Authentic Self is essential.
Invite yourself to listen carefully in quiet times to what matters to you.
Ask yourself to discover and support what encourages and sustains you.
Look for what gives your energy and then give energy to that Source.
Remember that your life matters and your happiness and peace are a blessing.
Life is a gift that we give ourselves when we are awake.
So receive the gift of life and give it meaning in your choices everyday.
Honor yourself in every way.
Begin today.
Loving you,
Betty Lue

Reviews of Escaping Apartheid: A Letter to My Mother
LOA Angel's Review of Escaping Apartheid: A Letter to My Mother
This book should be a movie! It was like an exciting thriller, but it was so much more than that. The awful things this girl had to go through just because she was black and from a poor family. I can't believe that this kind of thing still goes on in this "modern" age. The former South African government, ruled by oppressive old white men, was about as primitive as it gets. But back to the book, this lady is a fantastic writer, and her story is told without a bunch of unnecessary and inflamed descriptions of the deprivation and dehumanizing experiences she endured. It's almost like she's just reporting from the witness stand in a courtroom. This matter-of-fact reporting style, written as a letter to her mother, is so much more effective than spewing hatred and describing the individual horrors she suffered in graphic detail. It's actually more potent, and it may sound like a cliche, but I couldn't put this book down. Highly recommended if you care about the suffering people are forced to endure around the world at the hands of cruel, greedy, power-hungry madmen who would choose to harm the life and security of an innocent young girl in order to further their selfish goals. In this case, the little girl wins!
Just us Vikie's Review of Escaping Apartheid: A Letter to My Mother
What a fantastic read! I was unable to put it down once I started. Having lived in South Africa for 6 years myself...I could visualize everything and sympathize with the author. NO ONE could empathize unless they lived this horror. This tale of oppression, greed, and bigotry makes me ashamed of my skin color! Kudos to the author for surviving having your family ripped apart in every way possible and enduring such poverty and hatred. When you evolve spiritually and realize that we are all ONE.....brothers and sisters...you are shocked at the ways we humans have treated each other throughout the years. This story will amaze you, anger you, and make you cry!
Jim M's Review of Escaping Apartheid: A Letter to My Mother
This is a touching and personal account of a dark dark time in South African and world history. I was moved by the honor and love this family displayed in the face of severe poverty. The deep sense of loss that Nomanono's grandfather experienced watching everything he had worked a lifetime for unjustly taken away by the white government, simply because he was black was heart breaking, and despicable. Though this story ended with Nomanono's escape from South Africa, it is evident that there remained a lot more of her personal story to tell, and it left me wanting more.
Jeanine Joy's "President of Happiness 1st Institute" Review of Escaping Apartheid: A Letter to My Mother
I could not put this book down. I read it cover to cover. Nomanono took me to a world I never experienced and showed me what it was like to be a young girl whose life was thrown upside down by Apartheid. My heart ached for the young girl she was, for her family and all those who were treated thus.
But more importantly, the reason her book makes my heart sing and my soul know the beauty that is possible in this world is the beauty and greatness of her heart. her courage at a young age to pursue her dreams, to fight tyranny and oppression and win for herself and her children a better life. That someone could live through this terrible time and experience what she did and love her fellow humans with her big beautiful heart is a tribute to the best that humanity can be.
While this is anything but self-aggrandizement in her words or writing style, it takes only a moment to consider her past and read her words about how she exists as a Loving Being today to know this woman has a spirit that is so beautiful there are no words to describe it--an ineffable beauty.
I am highly recommending this book to everyone I know.
Thank you for giving the world this beautiful work and insight.

My softie hero
I've been having a bit of a down week in terms of self-confidence, inspiration and life in general. I'm feeling a bit like I'm in a rut when it comes to my creativity which is a horrible feeling when your work relies on it! I've been at my day job the last two days which, while it is a lovely place to work, isn't particularly inspiring. I have spent the afternoon reading through blogs, following links and little by little it's lifting my spirits.
The most inspiring thing I came across was an interview with Tania Patritti (ninon) by Brittni Wood which you can check out here. I think Tania has officially become my softie-maker hero. Everything she makes is amazing and she's vegan and is a full-time artist and lives in the most awesome looking apartment in Berlin! I have been reading her blog for a little while and in short it's awesome. I'm saving up to buy one of her Les Monstris! She has inspired me to make more complicated pieces because they are more satisfying as she states in another interview which you can read here. Things I've made in the past like the sewing machine, giant snail and the marriage couple are so much fun cause they're challenging and take ages to make. Maybe I should change my commitment to my bi monthly master piece to a monthly masterpiece... there's a thought!

*As a side note, I just want to add that I'm melting right now! It's 40 degrees and it will be tomorrow as well. I really want to tele-port myself to the snow!!!*
Through following all the links from ninon's blog I came to Plush You! which I admittedly haven't visited for a while, I'm not sure why but it just momentarily slipped off my radar. Plush You! also really inspired me - firstly because they are taking entries for the Plush You! show which you can check out here, secondly because they're running a competition called the Schmancy Olympic Challenge (I've sent an email to try and enter but I might be too late), and thirdly because Kristen Rask, owner of Schmancy and curator of Plush You! is so pro active and organises all these amazing things.
With all this new inspiration I'm left with a sense of awe. It also got me thinking about the softie community in Australia and how I feel it needs to come together more. I feel a bit left out of all these amazing things happening elsewhere (maybe it's because I don't live in Melbourne). The point I'm trying to get to is that I'd like to organise an exhibition in Sydney of local and international softie makers to try and energise the community here. I think that would be super exciting! I'd have to apply to a grant to cover gallery costs etc but I think it's doable. I'm going to start investigating!
Thank you to all you inspiring people! xx
Hi Torunn, I feel the same way as you. I am also in Sydney and a newbie myself. I felt that whilst there are alot of very creative and talented people in Australia, we don't seem to have a "community" for the softie people. I love your idea of organising an exhibition in Sydney to bring together softie makers. I don't have any background in coordinating events but I am happy to help out in any way.
Thank you for the kind words and support, I really appreciate it! I like the idea of the sewing get together, we could arrange it for a Sunday afternoon maybe, in a nice park somewhere?..Or even a big homely cafe that wouldn't mind a bunch of people sewing if anyone knows of a place like that?

We're in the lobby of the Bellevue Hotel in Alabang, meeting to discuss the executive track, to be held on Thursday. We've discussed several session topics and the general themes appear to be focused on collaboration, technology for productivity, and knowledge management.
With Michael's help, I plan to present a mini-version of Michael's research on IT enabled collaboration - this is great thinking and should be required reading for any manager in the information age. I took many notes that I have yet to process, so I'm sure this track will evolve as we go along. It was interesting to meet with this group; fewer words but deeper discussion that the other meetings. Neat people and folks committed to helping the people of Manila realize their dreams through business. I look forward to working with them.

ZTEST Electronics Monthly Corporate Update for December 2002
ZTEST Electronics Inc.'s (TSXVE: YZT) wholly-owned subsidiary, Permatech Electronics Corp., is an ISO 9002 certified Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider founded in 1982. Permatech's offerings include Materials Management, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Assembly, Testing and Design services. Permatech operates from a 20,000 square foot facility in North York, Ontario, Canada.
Manufacturing Industry Activity and the EMS Sector
On January 2nd, 2003 the Institute for Supply Management, www.ism.ws/ISMReport/ROB012003.cfm , reported that economic activity in the manufacturing sector grew for the first time in four months while the overall economy grew for the 14th consecutive month. The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) was calculated at 54.7 percent. A reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting. "The manufacturing sector rebounded in December. A strong showing in New Orders drove the PMI upward, while the Production Index strengthened and helped push the PMI up by 5.5 percentage points. The question at this point is whether the manufacturing sector can continue to gather momentum during the first quarter of 2003," commented Norbert J. Ore, C.P.M. chair of the Institute for Supply Management™
As reported by press release December 30, global semiconductor sales reached $12.68 billion in November 2002, according to the latest report issued by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), www.sia-online.org/pre_release.cfm?ID=251 . This represented a 1.3% sequential increase from the $12.51 billion in revenue reported in October 2002, continuing the trend that began in the fourth quarter 2001. November sales were up 19.6% from November 2001 sales of $10.60 billion. "The November sales of the global chip industry underscore the healthy recovery that has been building momentum throughout this year," stated SIA President George Scalise. "The wireless sector continues to be the strongest single market." Semiconductor sales have a material effect on the Electronics Manufacturing (EMS) sector as the Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) used in electronics assembly are populated with semiconductors. Therefore it is typically understood that increased semiconductor chip sales will lead to higher PCB assembly activity.
According to a report issued on December 26 2002, http://www.ipc.org/html/nov02btb.htm , the U.S. Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Industry Book-to-Bill Ratio for November 2002 was 0.92. Sales billed (shipments) in November 2002 increased 1.9 percent from November 2001 and orders booked increased 4.5 percent from November 2001.Compared to 2001, bookings of PCBs are down 13.7 percent year-to-date, while shipments of PCBs are down 23.6 percent year-to-date.
Permatech Established Business
With Permatech's long operating history, it has built a core base of customers who provide a stream of consignment and turnkey assembly orders. This core customer base is well diversified in the Medical, Power, Computer, Telecommunication, Wireless, Industrial and Consumer Electronics markets, limiting therefore the company's exposure to any one industry. The charts below show on a rolling six-month basis:
The proportion of revenue generated by each market served
The proportion of revenue attributed to turnkey vs. consignment business,
New Business Development
The first of four PCB layout designs for an industrial customer was delivered during the month of December; the balance of PCBs is scheduled for delivery in January 2003. PCB layout for an instrumentation company was completed as well. Parts procurement commenced and a prototype assembly is scheduled for January.
Permatech delivered the first run of an assembled product to a new customer in the computer industry. Components placed on these boards included multiple BGA, Micro BGA and Ultra Fine Pitch packages, located on both sides of the board. Initial feedback from the customer indicated error free delivery. Both parties expect to continue the business arrangement providing for regular monthly delivery of assembled boards.
Personnel Changes
Mr. Brian Gidley, Quality Manager, has left the company due to his family relocating out of the province. The vacant position was filled from within the company, with Mr. Suren Jeyanayagam taking over the Quality Manager position effective December 1, 2002. Suren has held various manufacturing and testing positions with ZTEST since 1990. One of his main responsibilities will be the completion of the ISO9001:2000 registration during the 2003 calendar year.

I've signed up for ShareASale.com and LinkShare They both deal with affiliate sales for a number of companies. For the last few days I've been changing my Amazon links to ShareASale or LinkShare products. Barnes and Noble is an affiliate with LinkShare, so if previously I advertised a book with Amazon, it's being changed to an affiliate with Barnes and Noble.
Right now, I haven't touched anything on HubPages. The staff there say they are talking to Amazon and may have an announcement soon. I really don't want to change all my adverts to something other than Amazon to then find out Amazon has a "B" plan. So I've been changing the ads on my own webpage, InfoBarrel and LivingSimply.
The best things about Amazon were that they sold almost everything and that most people already have an Amazon account. I would often advertise one product, someone would click the link and then buy a different product. You wouldn't believe how many books I advertised and how many laptop coolers I sold. Eventually I got the hint and wrote articles about laptop coolers and sold even more.
Now I'm advertising with one company for books and another for laptop coolers, I don't see how it can be as lucrative.
I've also struggled a little with the ShareASale and LinkShare sites, neither of which are as easy to use as Amazon. I spent all of one afternoon working out how to get a link for a Barnes and Noble book with LinkShare. But finally I managed it, and then made a video to show others how to do it. The thing about LinkShare is that you don't get the affiliate code in the same way for all merchants and that's why it's a little confusing.
Anyway, I loaded Barnes and Noble affiliate codes on Living Simply and recorded myself doing so. You can view the video here.

Greetings, cavers!
There were two trips last Saturday: one to Davidson Cave; here is a link to the trip report: http://mypage.iu.edu/~deverton/Binkley/Davidson1-21-12.pdf
The other trip report by Brad Barcom is in the works; I will upload it and notify everyone later.
When the cat's away, the mice play! I've been told there was a caving trip last Saturday, but that little was accomplished. Slackers! There was also a trip on Sunday, and I was told it was productive. However, I have no trip reports to share at this time from either trip.
Ongoing effort in Davidson Cave resulted in some survey accomplished on Saturday; here is the link to the trip report: http://mypage.iu.edu/~deverton/Binkley/Davidson1-7-12.pdf
Greetings, cavers: I hope each of you had an enjoyable holiday season!

I'm going to be honest: this story is not for everyone. A woman's birth is an intensely personal and deeply subjective experience. Yet it also comes along with powerful emotions that can be difficult to sort through and process. It is for that reason that I chose to write out my birth and postpartum story; it's for my healing. Please do remember that every pregnancy and birth is unique, even for the same woman. My story will not look or sound like yours, and it will likely differ from any future pregnancies I may have as well. However, this story is mine, and I believe there is power in telling it. If nothing else, please respect my right to own my experiences.
Thank you.
some people
when they hear your story
upon hearing your story,
and this is how
know. (nayyirah waheed)
My son Atticus was born in the middle of a late July heatwave, a stretch of long, torturous days that seemed never-ending, in many different ways. He was only a day past his due date, yet he had been anticipated to arrive several days before. At the very moment I first heard his shrieking cries, I burst into tears myself, partially because of joy but also because of my deep relief that it was finally over. He was here at long last.
During my pregnancy, I had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and there was always a bit of apprehension about baby's size as the pregnancy progressed. For this reason, my doctors and I had made the decision early on that if I had not gone into labor on my own by Atticus' due date, I would be induced.
As my due date crept near, my body showed very little signs of getting ready to labor on its own. It appeared he was quite comfortable in there and didn't want to come out any time soon. So, a day and a half before the due date, I checked into the hospital to begin the induction process. A quick check revealed what I already knew: my cervix was closed, high, and posterior, which meant labor would have to be jumpstarted. I was given a medication to help begin the process, and after 12 hours, I was checked again. Still high, still posterior, but dilated to 1 cm. Another medication was given, each dose lasting for 4 hours each. I was given 4 doses. Throughout the 16 hours, the contractions began. None were terribly painful in and of themselves, but they were regular, and I prayed they were doing their job. After the 16 hours, I was checked again. I had dilated another centimeter and was 70% effaced. The doctors did not want to give any more of that particular medicine, for fear it would affect Atticus' heart, so the decision was made to let me get up, walk around and try to labor a bit on my own. By this point, it was the middle of the afternoon on his due date, and I started to wonder if he was ever going to come. My husband and I hadn't slept in nearly three days, and there were several times where I simply broke down in tears due to the sheer physical and mental exhaustion I was feeling.
After I was allowed a shower and a real meal, I got back in bed for another check. No progress. Various interventions were attempted, but they were too painful for me to handle, so it was at this point that Pitocin was started, in hopes it would kick up the contractions and move my labor along. After 4 hours of the IV, I had dilated to 3 centimeters, was 80% effaced, and was starting to have regular, intensifying contractions. The doctors left, all of us hopeful that the Pitocin was going to do the job. We all expected progress at the next check.
Except I didn't progress. Four hours later, my body was in the same shape it had been, except I was in more pain as the Pitocin was upped and contractions became more severe. 48 hours into the process, my water was broken, and an internal contraction monitor was placed so doctors could see how effective the contractions were. It was at this point that I asked for an epidural, as the pain was getting too much to handle on my own. I had previously been unsure that I would want one, but as I was quickly learning, much of what had been in my original birth plan was being thrown out the window, and I had to simply roll with the punches and deal with what came up along the way. The epidural was great; it relaxed me enough that I was finally able to get a few hours of sleep. The doctors came in to check me again—no progress. Baby's heart rate was excellent, but there was concern over how well I was doing. The epidural was wearing off, and I was in such brutal pain that I was shaking uncontrollably and moaning, unable to actually speak. They did several more checks. Nothing had changed. I started hearing the words I had feared most: "failure to progress". I had my list of positive birth affirmations nearly memorized, and I kept repeating a particular one to myself over and over again. "Failure to progress does not mean I am a failure." Still, even though I said the words aloud, my heart was breaking a little bit. The truth is, I did feel like a failure. I felt like my body was somehow broken, like I was less of a woman because I couldn't do the one thing that was required of me: birth my child.
Around hour 59, the doctor and nurse came in once more to discuss the plan. Since my labor was "failing to progress" even though my body had been given ample time to do so, it was thought best to do a C-section before he or I started to show further signs of distress. (We later found out that his head was wedged at an angle against my pelvic bone instead of in the birth canal, which meant that the C-section would most likely have been inevitable anyway). Of course, my husband and I had already made up our minds that we would do whatever it takes to ensure a healthy baby and healthy mom. Still, even as they began prepping me for the operating room and handed my husband his pair of scrubs, I felt a twinge of grief as I said goodbye to the kind of birth I had so desperately wanted, the birth I had dreamed about. It was at that moment that I realized something: "Moms who have had c-sections need and deserve respect and love for the way they birthed. We need to honor all ways of birth, even the ones that didn't go as we planned" (Zipp). I was feeling guilty and ashamed, afraid of being judged by others for not being "able" to birth my son, even as I was judging myself. It didn't hit me until later of course, after I had started to process and work through some of the emotions surrounding my birth experience, but somewhere along the line, I started to understand. "We are still mothers…" I am a still a mother. "…We just had our babies through what I like to call a little kangaroo kind of pouch" (Zipp).
I was wheeled into the operating room around 7 am, and at 7:33, my husband and I first heard the beautiful sound of our son's cries. Instead of being immediately placed on my chest as I had previously hoped for, he was carried off by doctors and nurses to be assessed. K was able to go cut the cord a few moments later, and he carried our sweet Atticus back over to where I was spread-eagle on the operating table, being stitched back up. I couldn't hold him, even though I ached to do so each time I heard another of his little cries. But I kissed his beautiful face over and over again, whispering in his ear that he was okay, he was safe, he was loved. I don't have words to describe what that moment felt like, when I first saw his precious face, so strikingly similar to his father's, or when I breathed in his smell or touched his perfect soft skin with my lips. That moment was deeply sacred for me; it was pure love and bliss and relief and joy. Time stood still, and I knew for that instant, I was on something of holy ground.
Atticus was brought to me while I was in the recovery room for some skin-to-skin (finally!) and nursing time. He had been rooting since birth, and it was apparent he was quite hungry. He latched quite easily, all snuggled up against my right side, and appeared to eat contentedly for nearly a half hour. I was on cloud nine, confident that things were finally headed in the right direction.
However, in the following 48 hours of my stay at the hospital (making my total stay six long days), Atticus and I ran into our first round of problems regarding breastfeeding. He was hungry constantly, but my milk hadn't come in yet and colostrum didn't seem to be satisfying him. I'd cry every time he'd nurse, because he'd latch on quickly and try to suck, only to lose his latch and begin crying a minute or two later. Additionally, I was recovering from my C-section, which meant my range of motion was extremely limited. I couldn't pick him up or maneuver him from one side to the other, so I had to rely on my husband or nurses to help get him in position. I tried different holds, different sides, hoping each time we'd find the one that would magically fit for us. We had an hour-long visit from the hospital's lactation consultant, who gave us many tricks and tips that didn't seem to work for longer than a few moments. Atticus continued to struggle with his latch and his suck, and I continued to struggle to produce and position him. I started to dread feeding times, and then I'd burst into tears, guilty that I could even feel that way. What kind of mother am I? I wondered.
Our first night home from the hospital was excruciating. Atticus slept only a little, crying most of the night out of hunger. I'd attempt to feed him, and he'd unlatch only after a moment, screaming and trying to latch on again. The cycle continued. The next day, my milk came in, and things seemed to be a bit better while the sun was shining. But at night, we found ourselves in the same situation. All of us were exhausted and frustrated, and I was at a loss. My son was hungry, and I could not satisfy his hunger. There is no worse feeling in the world, of that I am sure. I felt like a failure as a mother, as a woman. Finally, "we fed him a bottle of the ready-to-feed formula gifted to us by the hospital "just in case" he had trouble nursing when we got home. He sucked it down as if he hadn't eaten in days and slept peacefully for hours, but I lay awake guiltily crying at how I had failed my son" (Garcia, 2014).
The guilt was like a darkness that simply would not go away, and it started to make me feel like I was losing my mind. I texted friends and family. I sent email and Facebook messages asking for help and advice. I pored over blogs and articles on my phone in the middle of the night, looking for tips. I saw another lactation consultant, who noticed Atticus seemed to have a bit of weak latch and sucking reflex, but urged me to keep at it. I pumped, but then I wasn't sleeping, because the only time I really had to do the pumping was when Atticus was napping. I cried constantly, especially during feeding times. My husband was worried about me. I was worried about me.
"In addition to my guilt, I felt rejected since my son wouldn't nurse from me. I felt like there was something fundamentally wrong with me that I couldn't master breastfeeding, which I foolishly thought would be the most natural thing in the world. … I constantly second guessed myself and my abilities as a mother. In my darkest moments, I wondered if it was a mistake to have a baby in the first place. I wondered where I got off thinking I was capable of caring for another human being. I wept for my poor son who was stuck with a mother who was so woefully unable to give him the care he deserved. It felt like a cruel joke. I felt miserable during the time in my life that should have been the most joyful" (Garcia, 2014). I kept trying to nurse during the day, but then everything would fall apart again at night, and out came the formula once more. I had heard it a million times, even saying it myself: "Breast is best." Yet here I was with a hungry newborn who didn't seem to want to—or perhaps was even unable to—nurse at my breast at all. And now, "every time I heard "breast is best," a little piece of my heart broke that I had to give my baby less than the best" (Garcia, 2014).
We had already spoken to Atticus' pediatrician regarding our breastfeeding struggles, and she was so incredibly gracious and understanding, vowing to support us no matter what. "There is nothing wrong with giving your baby formula," she told us, tears in her own eyes as she listened to me cry out my guilt, shame, and fear surrounding our feeding issues. Still, I was scared of disappointing people if I gave up breastfeeding. I was worried that they'd see me as weak, lose respect for me as a mother, judge me for not being able to be strong and get through it. Two days later, I went to my own doctor for an incision check, and I broke down in tears when she asked me how everything was going. We both agreed that much of my broken emotional state had to do with the anxiety around breastfeeding, and she asked if I had considered making the switch to bottle. I shared with her all my worries, and she simply hugged me, handed me some tissue and told me, "Fed is best. As long as you are feeding your baby, that's what's best." She reassured me that I was a great mom, whether I fed my son via breast or bottle, and reminded me that I needed to be aware of my own health in addition to Atticus'. We talked about what it would look like, practically, to switch to formula, and as she walked me to the door after my appointment, she promised to support me no matter what I decided. In the car, I tearfully recounted everything to my husband, and then I said the words I had been so terrified to speak out loud: "I think I want to stop breastfeeding." With tears in our eyes, we both agreed that it seemed to be the best decision for our family. We took a few moments to mourn what could have been, what we hoped would have been, and then we started the car.
From that moment on, everything was different. For the first time since his birth, I actually enjoyed being able to feed my son, to sit with him in my arms, singing soft lullabies as he happily sucked on a bottle. Both he and I became so much more calm, more relaxed; we learned to ease into each other, something we'd been unable to do earlier. Atticus started sleeping better now that his tummy was full, and he wasn't as fussy or impossible to calm whenever he did cry. I began to relax into my role as mama instead of always being tense or on edge. My husband joyfully began to participate in feedings too, making it a whole family affair and an experience that only brought us further together.
It's only been two weeks since I have stopped breastfeeding, but I can say with 100% certainty that I absolutely made the best choice for both myself and my family. Atticus is "growing beautifully", according to his pediatrician, and I am getting healthier by the day as well. There are moments of grief I have to walk through as I reflect on this whole experience and come to terms with the fact that none of it played out the way I would have chosen for it to. Yet I find myself hanging on to the truth in a beautiful quote by Jill Churchill, which says that "There's no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one." Motherhood, thus far, has taught me to lay down my perfectionism and need for control, for they are no good to me these days; what matters most is my healthy, thriving son. And if that comes about while he's cradled in the crook of my arm, drinking deeply from a bottle while he stares into my eyes and we smile at each other, then so be it.
In this post, I referenced two articles, one about C-section birth and one about postpartum depression and breastfeeding. Both of these articles literally took the words right out of my mouth, and it means so much to me to know there are women out there who have stories similar to my own. If you know a mama struggling with any of the above issues, I highly recommend checking them out.

Antonio Conte got his Chelsea reign off to the perfect start with a Premier League title in his first season at Stamford Bridge, but how does his 2016-17 team compare to Jose Mourinho's first team?
As football fans, one of our most enjoyable pastimes is debating how a vintage team of the past would compare against another or a current team.
We can never know for sure, of course, but these are arguments we've all had over a few pints with our mates in the pub. And more often than not, the power of nostalgia means we side with the past team over the current one. It's just what happens when we get old.
Conversely, the phenomenon of recency bias can lead some to convince themselves the players they have seen most recently are, in fact, the best of all time. After all, a faltering memory is another thing that happens when we get old!
Anyway, embroiled in one of these debates recently about Mourinho's first Chelsea team compared to Conte's team of last season, we decided what better way to settle the argument than ask our friends at Football Manager to simulate a game between the two.
Conte had the advantage of taking on a Chelsea team much more established as one of the best in the world after years of top recruitment, but Mourinho benefitted from having the likes of Petr Cech, John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba at their best.
So, just for fun, here's what happened when the two teams met on Football Manager…
• • • •
• • • •
This was an intriguing tactical encounter that pitted Mourinho's flexible 4-5-1 system against the fluid 3-4-3 that propelled Chelsea to the title last season.
It quickly became apparent that Claude Makelele and N'Golo Kante in particular were going to be crucial in giving their respective sides the upper hand during the match.
Makelele's ability to win the ball and control the tempo in the middle of the park gave Mourinho's Chelsea the upper hand in the early stages, and the move that led to their breakthrough goal was started by the Frenchman.
Picking the ball up on the halfway line, Makelele fed the ball through to Lampard, who was allowed to dribble to the edge of the area before playing a perfectly weighted pass to Drogba. The Ivorian calmly lofted the ball over the onrushing Thibaut Courtois and into the net to prompt wild celebrations amongst his team-mates.
• • • •
• • • •
That prompted Conte into action having witnessed a lethargic opening half hour from his team. Kante was tasked with pressing higher up and the pitch and doing so more often while Victor Moses was asked to drop slightly deeper to offer more support to the defence.
The changes had an almost immediate impact as a well-constructed passing move opened up an opportunity for Pedro on the right of the area, but his powerful effort could only find the side netting.
A lively start to the second half produced good chances at both ends. First Arjen Robben forced a superb save from Courtois down to his bottom left and then Ricardo Carvalho headed narrowly over from the resulting corner.
Diego Costa then flicked the ball a shade wide of the right post from Eden Hazard's whipped cross into the middle as the 16-17 squad began to retain possession consistently for the first time in the match.
The increasing pressure on the 04-05 defence eventually told as Costa levelled the scores just before the hour mark. A neat one-two between Pedro and Hazard dragged Carvalho out of position, and Costa outpaced Terry to Pedro's through ball and fired a first-time shot beneath Cech.
• • • •

• • • •
Further efforts from Moses, Hazard and a speculative 30-yarder from David Luiz followed. These never troubled Cech's goal but maintained the attacking pressure from Conte's men.
It was just seconds after the 04-05 squad's best chance of the half that Conte had his winning moment. Joe Cole, plucked from the bench to replace Damien Duff, got past Marcos Alonso and produced a pinpoint cross onto the head of Drogba, but the imposing forward could only head straight into Courtois' hands.
The Belgian's quick throw found Cesc Fabregas, Conte's only substitute of the match, who played a 25-yard ball ahead of Hazard. It was then a case of watching the type of individual skill that Hazard delivers time and time again as he cut past Paulo Ferreira and curled his shot past the helpless Cech and into the bottom right corner.
Mourinho tried to inspire a late equaliser from his side but directed almost every attack through Lampard who was being effectively marshalled out of the game by Kante. A dragged shot from Robben was as close as the 04-05 team came to an equaliser the clock wound down on their hopes of sealing a draw.

Thermodynamics, Kinetics, and Regeneration Studies for Adsorption of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Solutions using Modified Cellulose as Adsorbent
Cellulose adsorbent was prepared by ATRP grafting of glycidyl methacrylate onto a cellulose backbone with subsequent functionalization with ethanediamine, and then used for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of initial pH and initial Cr(VI) concentration on the adsorption performance. The optimum pH for adsorption of Cr(VI) ranged from 2 to 3, and the maximum uptake of Cr(VI) from solution was 500 mg/g at pH 3.0 and 50 °C. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were applied to the adsorption process, and the thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The results showed that the sorption process to be feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic. Kinetics studies revealed that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted well with the experimental data and the intra-particle diffusion was not the only rate-determining step for Cr(VI)sorption onto adsorbent. The cellulose adsorbent before and after Cr(VI) adsorption were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Regeneration of cellulose adsorbent loaded with Cr(VI) can be achieved by treating with 2.0M NaOH.

Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe has copped a new look for his 19th birthday.
The young France international often displays great maturity and poise for his age. And now that he's celebrated another birthday, he's gotten the hair to go with it.
On Wednesday, Mabappe revealed his new white hair - well at least that's what he calls it - but it does appear to be more silvery-grey than white
Caption: White hair for my birthday __ Thanks __ @tchaga_barber
New hair color for the birthday. 😎😂⚪ #Mbappe #PSG pic.twitter.com/TL3pZv3xFw— Halkbet (@halkbet_eng) December 20, 2017
The forward's form from last season has leaked into this one, with him scoring seven goals and assisting seven more in 13 Ligue 1 appearances so far.
And having teamed up with the likes of Neymar and Edinson Cavani, he looks well on course to win his second successive league title, with PSG nine points clear of second place in the standings.

Aloo Matar
I don't go out to eat very often anymore. I'm in save all the money ever mode, and I haven't had a ton of time between my three jobs plus housework. I do cook all the time and occasionally share stuff I make that I end up really liking. This was one of those dishes, Aloo Matar. While I'm not authority on cooking Indian food, I did managed to eek this out based on what I had on hand. It was tasty, spicy, simple, and about as cheap to make as it gets. The spice really helped with clearing out mine and my housemates sinuses - we're all now just getting over the flu.
Aloo Matar
The Gravy:
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp ginger grated
- 1 tbsp garlic pressed
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 can crushed tomatoes 14 oz.
- 1 tsp red chili powder (You can add more depending on what spice level you'd like. Start with 1 tsp and build from there)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (You can omit this to make the dish vegan, still just as tasty.)
- salt and pepper to taste
- oil
The Curry:
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/3 tsp fenugreek seeds
- 2 tbsp curry powerder
- 1 tsp. paprika powder
- 1 tsp tumeric powder
- 5 medium potatoes
- 5 oz frozen peas
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Chopped cilantro for garnishing
- water
- To make the gravy heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, garlic, and ginger frying for a few seconds until golden brown. Add pinon and a sprinkle of salt. Cook until golden brown. Mix in tomatoes and red chili powder, cook until combined and onions tender. Remove from heat. Once cooled a bit mix in sour cream. Set aside.
- In a deep pot with a lid (I used a covered cast iron) heat oil. Add mustard seeds, cumin, fenugreek and curry. Fry for a few seconds. Add chopped potatoes, salt and pepper to taste, and about a 1/2 cup water. Stir and cover. Cook on a low-med heat until potatoes are fork tender. You may need to add more water to keep them from sticking.
- Add gravy and frozen peas to potatoes, mix well. Add sugar and remaining spices. If you still want a spicer dish add more red chili powder until desired heat level is acquired. Cover again and cook for five more minutes.
- Serve over rice and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Hoping to do a day trip to Venice from Peschiera.Is one day enough? What itinerary or what would you recommend seeing in a day visit (2 ads + 2 teens). Do people recommend doing the visit independently or organised tour from Peschiera.TIA
I know it's expensive and twee but you have to do a gondola ride. I only did it on my forth visit to Venice so held out but it was really lovely.
St marks and all the sites around it including the tower will have huge waits but are fairly essential. After that I'd say just wander and enjoy. No particular recommendations for food but if you leave the main square and the grand canal banks you will get better value. It's not as crazy expensive as you might expect. Lovely little shops to potter in and out of and stalls to look at. Even the shops on the Rialto bridge are worth a potter.
We're going to jesolo again in august but this time have a pram so won't be doing Venice. Did it once with a pram and it is not to be recommended!! Far too many steps over the bridges
Thanks for that. What are the top things to and see that can fit into 1 day comfortably? Any nice restaurants, places to eat you would recommend?
I haven't done the trip from pescheria, but I have done day trips to Venice from jesolo. One word of warning which I'm sure you probably know but Venice is phenomenally packed during the summer months. Very hot and very busy. I still love it but it can be very draining. We usually get a boat into the main marina. It's fine getting there but coming home tends to be like a cattle market trying to get back on the boat. I'd recommend you stay as late as possible to allow the day trippers to go so you can enjoy a quieter evening. Head to the back streets for decent value food and drink

Interships Have Become a Popular Way to Find the Dream Job
These internships can be paid or unpaid. Frankly, most of the companies prefer to tell the students that they're not going to pay a dime for the work they do. It's a way of cutting costs, lessening the employees' responsibilities and taking full advantage of an unpaid human resource in a perfectly legal manner. This is a win-win situation only if the intern actually learns something through training, workshops and practical work the business gives them to do. Unfortunately, many students are improperly used and waste their time and resources while doing nothing more than photocopying papers and making coffee.
The length of the internship should be approached to the needs of the applicant and the field he/she works in. It's illogical to spend only a couple of days in a department, because one cannot fully understand the tasks the bureau has to deal with in such a short amount of time. Some colleges don't quite grasp the concept that it takes a typical student more than a few days to thoroughly learn what is expected of them. The universities often require their students at the end of the year to do only a two-week internship. Sometimes it is even difficult to find a company to do your internship. The competition is quite high considering the fact that the unemployment rate is growing from year-to-year in most of the countries of the world. Most students are hoping to be hired after doing the internship, being the only solution to find a job during an economic crisis. The success of each applicant depends on how skillful he/she is, what theoretical background they may or may not have and what previous experience they possess.
So I ask you... Are the internships programs the ideal way for grabbing a well-paid job during a recession period?

A Guide On How One Should Be Accepting Payment Arrangements Due To Occurrence Of Scammers.
Being in the business world is quite an engaging procedure which involves one dealing with huge amounts of money. Financial management is a huge part of a business, and includes everything from payroll and fake check stubs, to everyday customer transactions. During payment acceptance procedures, individuals should also be very cautious. However for individuals to effectively manage resources especially when receiving payments from customers, they should follow the following guidelines at all times.
The first guideline involves making sure that the customer are legitimate. This is because in this age there are both business and customers who are scammers. Customers who are scammers are very skilled in the arts and cannot be relied at all times. The customers in this case take advantage of the technological advancements. One can only prove that a customer is legitimate once they pay for services or products obtained from a business unit. Due to this reason, business units should ensure that they run some background check on new customers before making any payment arrangements. The background check should be meant to prove originality of customers details and once a customer is legitimate, you can now process the payment. This way, you can stay safe in the knowledge that you are selling to the right people.
One should also offer payment options. The options are meant to evade cash payment procedures. The other options should also try to cater for the huge customers you serve. The available options include cash, debit card, credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay and more. Offering other options will cater for customers' needs and thus most of them will choose to be served by your business unit.
Also before making payments one should make confirmation. When setting up a payment page for your customers you need to make sure that you add a page between entering payment details and order processing which makes sure to confirm everything the customer is purchasing as well as the prices of items, shipping, and other fees. This can be done with simple click of a button. These reduces the occurrence of complaints.
The transactions should also be recorded. Writing down can be done through printing receipts ad through sending mails as records. This reduces occurrence of cases where one is found liable to transactions that were complicated as one can simply remove evidence at any given moment. This ensures that one's business unit is safe from future complains that may even led to court processes as you learn more.
Payments are easy to create for your customers, you just need to make sure to take the time to complete every task as well as you can to ensure all customers are satisfied with your service. After transacting, one should check on customers a week later to make sure there are no inconveniences involved.
