New iPod Video Design

The new iPod video design and style is definitely unique and very different from its predecessors from the old iPod series. But definitely the new iPod design is meant to adapt to the optimized functions, features and characteristics of the product.

The most significant change that is found in the latest video is the large and color screen. This new and definitely appreciated feature provides the most exciting viewing experience that one can have when using iPod. And albeit it is a high tech gadget, the iPod provides better and fashionable style, that is uniquely its own. This is done without forgetting that with or without its fantastic outward appearance, it still delivers excellently on the usual areas such as providing music, photos and videos.

We all know how the generation of iPod devices can be had in many various colors. Indeed, the gadget has maintained its bright hues, since the first generations of iPod models. Needless to say, the gadget has become very famous with its bold, bright colors such as pick, green, orange or even turquoise.

The iPod video design of today can actually be experienced in two basic hues which are black and white. The gadgets are made available via these two colors owing to the fact that the iPod nano also were available on black or white and was such a hit on these two collars. However, it is said that the reason why the new iPod are available on either black or white is because of the elegance and subtlety that these two hues lend to the gadget.

The Curse of Curfew

Curfew is a point of contention in just about every house where there are teens. They want more freedom, we want them to be safe. When we don't let them stay out late, they feel we don't trust them. When we do let them stay out late, we worry.

I was fortunate to attend a Parenting with Love and Logic class when my children were 6 and 2. I thought the teen years were so far off, but they really were not. A few short years later, we've hit them full force!

In my class, we learned about curfew and the guidance was incredibly helpful. I've blended it with my own personal approach and come up with a solution that seems to work around here.

When everyone was mellow, I sat down with the kids and we talked about curfew. We talked with both of them so the younger one would know what we were thinking so he'd be ready for the talk when he hit 13.

We listened to our son's argument about why he should be allowed to go out, what he thought was a reasonable curfew (based on what friends his age were doing) and how he was feeling. We really, really listened and let him know we heard him. He was making a lot of sense. He's a responsible kid. So why weren't we feeling better about letting our 16 year old stay out until midnight?

If just doesn't work into our value system. Call me over-protective, but letting my child wander around at night just isn't in my nature. I know other parents are cool with that. I'm just a fuddy duddy I guess.

After our son finished what he was saying and felt heard, we asked if it would be okay for us to share what we were feeling. He agreed and we explained (as briefly as possible) that we are concerned for his safety and so we need to know where he is, need to be able to reach him and need to have him home early enough that we can get a reasonable night's sleep.

In Love and Logic I learned that kids need to have some freedoms but that those freedoms shouldn't impact other people negatively and staying up watching the clock is not good for my well-being.

We took time to negotiate, explaining that we're not running a dictatorship. Our house is set up as a democracy. We wanted to come to a place where we could all feel good about curfew.

Over the next thirty minutes we hammered out a plan. It involved us knowing where he is, who he is with and when he'll be home. We set up a curfew and explained that if he was going to be late, he needed to call or we would worry and worried parents call the police to come find you. (How embarrassing!!!)

The curfew plan is fluid and that's what can lead to fight after fight. It will change as your child grows. However, when we approach the situation not as a "yes you can" or "no you can't" but as something that needs to be worked out together - with each party having an equal voice, tons of respect and empathy, we're much more likely to find a solution that works for everyone.

Operating Healthy Vending Machines: Follow These 5 Simple Rules For Massive Success

The idea of healthy vending is not new, but success in the industry is. Most traditional vending operators think healthy vending will fail because they have been doing it the wrong way. To guarantee success in the healthy vending industry, it is necessary to follow these simple 5 rules.

#1 Healthy Vending Machines Must Stand Out

It is impossible to distinguish yourself as a health food vending operator if you operate machines that look like traditional junk food dispensers. If your machine doesn't stand out in the crowd and scream "I am different!" you will not attract health-conscious customers. Health-conscious customers won't bother to look in a traditional vending machine because they know there is nothing for sale they will eat. If your machines don't look fresh, clean, and hi-tech, the health-conscious crowd you are targeting will not give your machines a second look. Spend the money on a new high-tech vending machine, it may cost a bit more get up and running but it is the only way you can expect success.

#2 Don't Combine Healthy Snacks/Drinks With Junk Food

Hungry people lack self control. A hungry customer may walk towards a vending machine intending to eat a bag of pita chips, but when they get there and see a Twix bar staring them in the face their stomach gets the best of them. There is a reason that millions of dollars are spent every year on junk food marketing, it works! Those TV commercials have conditioned us to believe these items actually make us feel good. 15 minutes after the candy or chips are gone, the customer is filled with regret, and the healthy items are still your machines. Combining junk food with health food will cannibalize your sales of healthy items. Keep them separate for massive success!

#3 Healthy Vending Is About The Experience

Just like a traditional health food store, it is all about creating a higher-end, better experience for your customers. Think of your machines as "automated retail health stores" instead of merely vending machines. Think out of the box when creating your product mix and don't be afraid to experiment with items that traditionally haven't been vended. Think about your customers needs and wants and develop a plan to provide these.

Example #1 If your machine is in a gym, think about the people in the gym and their needs: workout towels, water bottles, Mp3 players, protein drinks, Nike + items, recovery tablets, etc. All these items can be vended and will sell to people who are in a gym.

Example #2 If you are sitting in a hospital chances are you are feeling one of two ways; either you sick, or you are worried about getting sick because you are surrounded by sick people. What will sell to people who are sick or worried about getting sick? Try placing immune boosting supplements and hand sanitizers in your machines. Think about what items will provide value for your customers, and then provide those items!

#4 Find The Right Location

Healthy Vending Machines will not be successful everywhere, so don't place your machines in locations that are destined to fail. Kids play areas that already have candy machines are an example of a high traffic areas that would not be a great location for a healthy vending machine. Children armed with quarters probably can't be trusted to make healthy choices when they are surrounded by machines that dispense candy and toys. Some great locations for healthy vending machines include schools, gyms, health-conscious companies, and hospitals. The key is to place your machines in high traffic areas filled with health-conscious people. Use common sense and analyze your clientele. Your local dive bar is probably not going to be a stellar place to push your healthy snacks and drinks!

#5 Develop Creative Healthy Vending Solutions

Because eating healthy is something that will improve all aspects of your life, make sure to develop plans to encourage people to make good choices. It has been proven time and time again, healthy employees are more productive and cost much less to insure than unhealthy employees, so convince your corporate locations to subsidize healthy products to increase uptake. This can be part of an overall wellness plan that integrates healthy vending machines with nutrition seminars and yoga workouts. The sky is the limit, any integrated wellness plans you can develop as an operator will help your pitch to top locations. If you plan to place machines in schools, think about offering a young entrepreneurship program that allows students to run the machines themselves. This is the best of both worlds, students are eating healthy and learning how to run a business, and as an operator you are gaining profitable school contracts. Creativity makes money!

Follow these simple rules and you will be on your way to surefire success in the healthy vending industry!

Gaining Mastery Over Your Emotions

Something happened yesterday which prompted the writing of this brief article. I experienced a very real sense of frustration relating to dealing with something which I could not control. I nearly reached a total melt-down point yesterday after five days of intermittent internet access whilst trying to deal with the testing of a new website.

If you can imagine the scenario; there are some parties to the job based in Serbia, some in the UK and others in the USA. We rely upon Skype, which is internet based, to communicate, and the new website, needless to say cannot be tested without being online. We're also running behind schedule, although this wasn't particularly bothering me, I didn't think; I learned a long time ago that where websites are concerned they get finished when they get finished.

It was interesting however to note that this whole scenario over the last few days finally triggered off emotions which I thought had dissolved. My brain had evidently stored and saved a whole host of experiences which made a good "pattern match" with "computer-internet-website building-problems" and they all came flooding back to me, along with a lot of really frustrating emotion. The current experience instinctively triggered off these stored emotions and wham! Melt-down (well, almost).

This is a great example of how our minds work. There are many occasions when you think you have come to terms with something fully, but all you have done is put it to the back of your mind. And there those emotions sit, waiting patiently, until you happen to confront a similar type of experience once more, and it is as if a dam has been breached and it all comes flooding back to you.

This ability of your mind to store emotional experiences and then release them in response to a familiar trigger is in fact a defense mechanism. Your mind has been put on "high alert" as a result of your emotional reactions in the past and certain circumstances have been "red flagged" as threatening to your health and equilibrium.

This brain mechanism was essential when the threat was a bear or a tiger that might be licking his lips as he contemplates his dinner. But in the modern day, the types of threat have changed and this automatic instinct to "red flag" can sometimes be more of a hindrance than an asset.

If you want to really resolve underlying emotional issues, you have to do more than just put them to the back of your mind. You have to find a way in which to change the emotional attachment to the experiences. An adaptation of the NLP fast phobia cure will do exactly this. It really doesn't take long at all to drain the water from these muddy emotional pools and replace with fresh, clear and sparkling water...so long as you use hypnosis.

Hypnosis is a state of relaxation which allows you to take a step back and to access the inner workings of your mind. With hypnosis you gain access to your subconscious mind and you can gain mastery over emotions which would otherwise be free to flood your mind in response to the slightest trigger.

Using Astrology to Understand Our Soul's Purpose and Destiny

Can Soul purpose be considered the same as destiny? In a sense yes, in that we can do very little about it at the personality level, in this lifetime. Our Soul purpose is created by ourselves but was set out in previous lifetimes and is currently unfolding. So in this lifetime we can do little else but align with it and live harmoniously, or try and resist the calling and live disharmoniously! (Even experiencing disharmony may be needed for our Soul's growth!) In our birth chart the rising sign, or ascendant, indicates our Soul purpose. It is our 'Soul Sign'.

Understanding, aligning with and expressing our Soul's Purpose is our Life's work. Many people fulfil their Soul Purpose without even being aware of it, or necessarily being on a particularly 'spiritual' path. Maybe this is what we experience as destiny, when our Soul's journey appears to be beyond the reach of our individual awareness.

For example The Soul Sign of the USA is Aquarius(1), and the Soul Sign of President Obama is Aquarius. Is it a 'coincidence' that the American people chose to elect an Aquarian Soul, to lead a nation (the most influential nation in the world at this time) that also has an Aquarian Group Soul? Especially at this particular point in history when, astrologically, we are entering the Age of Aquarius? Or is it Destiny? Is it an alignment of individual Soul purpose with that of the larger group?

There are examples in every family and community of people living and expressing their Soul purpose without being aware of it. I know a humble, practical, and quite shy businessman who would never consider himself on a spiritual path of any kind. (Nor would he think much of Astrology!) He has Cancer Rising so his Soul purpose is to 'build a lighted house and dwell therein'. He wouldn't consider himself a humanitarian, yet his Aquarian sun sign led him into a form of group service. (Humanitarianism and group service are Aquarian values) In building his business, he employed the people closest to him: friends, family, and neighbours, in a small, poor, community with high unemployment.

Although he didn't set out to 'be a humanitarian' his Aquarian approach to business by recruiting from a group that he already belonged to, had unintended humanitarian consequences. There is now a stable core in this community of people with homes, jobs and families. Without his input who knows what could have happened here in a neighbourhood that was deteriorating into unemployment, drug and alcohol abuse? His approach raised the status of a neighbourhood, created a stable framework, created jobs and brought people together with a shared purpose to form a close-knit and supportive community. The fact that this was done in the context of 'family and neighbours' is an expression of his Cancer Soul: Cancer is the sign of the home and family. So even though he doesn't think of it in these terms he is in himself being, and creating, a 'light' in his community. His home. Perfectly in alignment with his Soul purpose.

If we can be fulfilling our Soul purpose without being aware, is there any point in learning about our Soul purpose and developing awareness? The answer depends on the stage of our Soul's development. For some of us, Soul awareness may not be our path in this lifetime, and so we wouldn't feel drawn to pursue the matter, as in the example of the businessman above. For some the path involves developing conscious awareness of our Soul work and for others this includes a conscious experience of Soul.

It may be true that you are probably fulfilling your destiny anyway, and it may also be part of your Soul work in this lifetime to understand more deeply what that means, and to begin consciously creating your future Soul path: your future destinies!

(1. According to Esoteric Astrologer Phillip Lindsay: "Esoterically, the USA is an Aquarian soul and a Gemini personality. If an esoteric chart was erected, it would be Aquarius rising with a Gemini Sun in the fifth house." See http://www.esotericastrologer.org/EAauthorEssays/EAessaysPGL21ObamasDrama.htm.)

3G Wireless Communication Systems

The activities in Research and Design (R&D) have always brought out new innovations, and it brought forth the development of the future generation of wireless systems. The third generation (3G) of mobile telephony promises to provide significant features, in higher data rates, up to about 2Mbits/second, teleconferencing with video transmission, web browsing, etc. With IMT-2000 standarisation, 3G mobile systems provide full roaming feature, allowing integration with GSM systems. The International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) is a global standard, defining the parameters, specifications and recommendations for the third generation mobile technology. A framework for access of the 3G system, linking the diverse land based, wireless and satellite systems, is provided in IMT-2000.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is involved in 3G systems since 1998 and its role in this work of analysis and modeling of more advanced systems, in collaboration with Wireless Communication Technologies Group (WCTG), will be an ongoing process and will not stop at the 3G systems. The objective of NIST is to play an important role in future development of wireless communication systems, mainly contributing in -

- Developing software test methods to aid the R&D of future wireless communication systems.

- Evaluating the performance of various wireless communication systems technologies.

- Developing new, improved technologies and methodologies in wireless communication systems.

- To make significant contribution in improving the national and international standards in wireless communication systems.

The third generation (3G) wireless communication was primarily developed to provide high-speed data connectivity to cellular phone users. The technology was conceived far back in the early stages of the internet boom, when it was thought that there was a need to establish a feature to provide the cellular phone users the facility to access data and multimedia services at a suitable rate. In many countries in the world, the required spectrum was auctioned to the different service providers for fees ranging in millions of dollars.

IMT-2000 defines 3G as a wireless communication system, which provides data rates from 144kbps to greater than 2Mbps, which depend on the speed of the cell phone. The definition has been created by International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and is referred to as International Mobile Telecommunications 2000 (IMT-2000). There are ofcourse a number of technologies which could fulfill the features of the 3G system, with variations in the existing GSM 2G technology and this modification, or enhancement on 2G, is often referred to as 2.5G. This enhancement has brought in General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) in the 2G system, with CDMAone (IS95a) systems defining a number of evolutionary technologies, which are grouped and classified under CDMA2000.

Very briefly, CDMAone is a description of the entire wireless system based on TIA/EIA IS-95 (Telecommunications Industry Association / Electronic Industries Association Interim Standard - 95), which was first published in July 1993. CDMA2000 describes the family of 3G wireless communication systems, which uses Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), which is a multiple access system for digital radio to transmit voice, data and signalling data, such as, a dialed telephone number, between cellular systems and base stations.

There exists confusion as to the difference between the 3G and 2.5G systems. Though most of the CDMA2000 systems are technically modifications of the existing 2G architecture, they are being offered as 3G systems in the market. The GSM on the other hand, though capable of 3G performances, are being are being classified as 2.5G systems. The new standard was brought into the GSM 2G systems, classifying it as 2.5G, mainly to fulfill the 3G requirements, while the original 3G system uses an entirely different technology to achieve the same. This extension of the 2G system to 2,5G is called the Wideband-CDMA (W-CDMA), a technology used for transmission of data and voice.

There are efforts going on to deliver more global standard advanced services out of the CDMAone technology, which is basically the GSM 2G system. This will enable the market to provide services as the market demands. The efforts of CDMA Development Group (CDG) is leading to complete capabilities of the 3G systems and is now concentrating aggressively enable fast-track development of the CDMA2000, one of them being the 3G standard.

The GPRS services provided by 2G systems is similar to that serviced by 3G, but the 3G data services are a next step up from the GPRS services that we know of. The main difference is the faster data transfer rates that are available in 3G systems, offering up to 384 kilobits per second, which is 7 times faster than the standard dial-up systems. With 3G systems, you can achieve everything that you want to do, but in a much better way, a lot faster and from anywhere. The main advantage with 3G wireless communication system is that you can have a large call volume and it provides you with the support of multimedia data applications such as video and photography.

The 3G system has brought about a good many advantage in the application of wireless communication system and some of the main features include -

- Video Calling - While calling someone, you can see the person on the other side in real time. As long as both the phones are 3G supported, you need not have to imagine, how your caller or the person you called looks like as you can see him on your cell phone screen as you converse.

- Obtaining Information and News - You can search for Information and News from the internet, using your phone as a modem with your PC or laptop. You are able to use your favourite search engines to find the information that you are looking for, the daily news, stocks and shares, or practically any other information for you to keep yourself updated.

- E-Mail - While you are out from your office, there may be occasions when you want to send a e-mail message to your business associate or to anyone else for that matter. You can use your cell phone and directly send such e-mails. You may also look into your inbox to find out if you have any important e-mail. The 3G-enabled cell phone can also be used as a modem with your laptop or connected to your PDA.

- Games - Since the time mobile telephony has come into the market, games has always featured to be of great interest to cell phone users. Games have become more interactive and would still improve with the advancement of technology. For those who play these games on the cell phone for recreation purposes or for passing time, they would benefit more from 3G system, which enables downloading of these games at anytime from almost anywhere.

- Film - The quality of film over mobile system is greatly enhanced by the speed and video quality of the 3G system. It is now possible for you to view the trailers, film reviews and interviews relating to various films. You can also download mp3 music, wall papers and enter into competitions by means of your 3G-enabled cell phone.

- Sport - With enhanced graphic capability, you can now watch highlights of the sports that interests you and also have access to the scorecards of the sports that you are interested in.

- Music - the 3G system allows you to download various music streams, videos and interviews. It lets you compose your own ring tone through your cell phone keyboard.

The necessity of having a website has become imperative, as much as, that if a company does not have one website, it is as good as the company not existing. With the introduction of 3G systems, this has become truer, and you can gain access the internet from your 3G-enabled cell phone at anytime, from practically anywhere.

Cell phone use overseas. In 99% of the world the local cellular service standard is called GSM. We use this in the states as well. When combined with a SIM CARD (which usually goes under the battery of the phone) the phone is able to communicate and the SIM CARD also holds the telephone number and memory for pre-paid credit. Rates can be extremely low using this system. For example in 99% of all SIM CARDS incoming calls are free and calls to the states can cost a trifle. Such as, from the UK to the USA 7 cents/minute, from Israel 22 cents, from Australia 27 cents. Yes, USA Dollar cents! There are today even prepaid service providers in the USA offering rates of 10 cents per minute to call anywhere in the US to any type of phone. No contracts, no credit card checks, no bills. Pre-paid always means no minimums no contracts, no obligations. You only pay for the calls made. You'll need an unlocked GSM tri-band or quadband UNLOCKED phone. You can buy factory unlocked phones and sim cards for more than 170 or the 193 countries on earth from http://www.planetomni.com Tel. # 800-514-2984.

Groceries More Expensive Than Ever - NOT!

I was standing in line at the grocery the other day and the woman in front of me rolled her eyes and said "groceries are getting more expensive than ever, aren't they?" She had about 12 items and paid over $90. I shrugged because I bought about 60 items and got out of the store for under $15.

Groceries are actually cheaper than they've been in a long time - if you're careful. People are freaking out about the economy so they're holding on to their money - and grocery stores as well as just about everyone else - are offering great deals to get you to part with your greenbacks. Now is the time to look for coupons, special deals and to shop around for the best prices. Stores are changing their policies to lure new shoppers. And you're the winner.

Around here, circulars come in the mail every Wednesday. This Wednesday, I found a $10 off when you buy $50 worth of stuff. There was also a $30 gift card when filling a new prescription. Then they had a few coupons for: a free 2 liter of Pepsi, eggs for .87 cents a dozen and some 10 for $10's that were incredible. On top of that they had some things on sale for which I had coupons.

Finally, I'd gotten an $11 rebate card for one of my memberships at a big box store.

Total savings: $97 and that includes diapers.

I very rarely buy anything unless I have a coupon for it AND it's on sale. I watch the circulars and then go through accumulated (and not expired) coupons and get what I can find. Also, I try to make sure that I'm actually getting a good deal. Sometimes things that are advertised $10 for 10 that you can find elsewhere for .58 cents each.

Some places offer membership rewards which can provide great savings - just make sure you're still getting good prices when you're earning those rewards.

When you check out at the grocery, on the back of your receipt or in addition to it, you may find valuable coupons there.

Don't wait until you need something. Buy it when it's on sale. For example, I usually make cupcakes for parent/teacher conferences. I buy the cake mix and icing when it goes on sale (usually not together) so that I have it. If I bought it when I needed it, I would send three times as much.

Finally, there are some new generic companies that are coming out - spurred on by people getting in touch with their inner frugality. They offer items at around half the price of other generics that have been around awhile.
