Advise to Newly Weds and Engaged Couples

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

By Abraham Bruck I have witnessed, both within my own family, in the outside world and in my practice, what can happen in a relationship if there is no common bond that can actually bind a couple together. Well, let me digress (or maybe, progress) and say a bit about getting together as a couple in the first place: even if there is a strong attraction, be it physical, mental or emotional: Love; That does not seem to be enough to keep a couple together; the body will wither, the mind will change and the emotions will flutter. And love may turn into a dependency or habit. Unless, there is a third entity; the glue that binds the one to the other; the bond that binds, a mutual goal and lifetime commitment to it. The it needs to be greater that both of you, a driving force that can take both of you, like a boat down the river, or an ark during a flood (and floods there will be) … In my opinion, there are two good bonds; children and Religion or a Spiritual Practice (to be more politically correct, or any other proven external disciplinary way of life that both parties agreed to commit to whole-heartedly, abide by, follow and emulate; the goal). There are, of course, no guarantees even if both of these are there, but the chances are multiplied exponentially. Without these, there is no common bond; it’s just two people living separate lives together: convenient for a nice meal, some ambiance, safe sex, and the occasional meaningful conversation … So, the intent or lifetime goal of both parties must be the same. Otherwise, both sides will be resentful, because, in any situation, for any important decision, no compromise can satisfy both of the parties, because their primary motivating goals are different; or they have no primary motivating goals and just dont feel like it at the time. And so there is no improvement in the situation and resentments, anger, etc. build; and there is no possibility for a long-term relationship. Love may sometimes seem to be obscured by a tendency towards negativity, insecurity and fear/anxiety. But this is who the person is at the moment; and they are perfect the way they are. Love may sometimes seem to be obscured by a tendency towards not wanting to be so depended upon by the other, for their happiness, security and emotional wellbeing. But this is who that person is at the moment; and perfect the way they are. Much of this may stem from residual family entanglements. Some behaviors may come from family control issues. Some behaviors may come from family insecurity issues. There are a few key issues that need to be kept in mind: Trust! Honesty! One must trust the other, as the right hand trusts the left. And one must be honest and trustworthy, inside the relationship and in the world at large as well; trusting yourself, being honest with yourself and trusting your partner and being honest with your partner, and being trustworthy and honest in all your dealings in the world. In other words, your thoughts, speech and actions should always be in line with a clear conscience. There are times when you will feel rejected or abandoned, based on your perception of the situation. There is usually no reason to feel this way; from the others standpoint, it’s not about you, it may be about their family control issues. At times you may feel that you would appear weak if you give in to the desires of the other. There is no reason to feel weak by giving in: remember the bond that binds; you can show your compassion and accommodation of what may be the others family insecurity issues. Besides the above mentioned, or perhaps, because of the above mentioned, there may be a lack of real compassion and empathy on the part of both parties for each other. To see the world from the other persons heart and to trust the other person, that they are doing the best they can. To see them as perfect, the way they are. (That’s not to say that there is no room for improvement.) To realize the person is always more important than any ideology or material object or goal; the relationship comes first. Perhaps ask; what’s the worst thing that can happen if the worst thing happens. Usually the answer is not such a big deal. Again, the third entity, the bond that binds, the trust in that everything that happens is only good. There is a need for genuine compassion and complete acceptance of the other as perfect as they are; acknowledgment and acceptance of each others needs and idiosyncrasies and the commitment and willingness to live with them as they are, for as long as they are that way. Which, if you ask me, and as has been proven millions of times in the present and throughout history, cannot be accomplished without the “third party”, the bond that binds one love to the other. The other person; their feelings, hopes, dreams, goals must be your own as well: you are one; heads and tails of the same coin. One person, soul, living life in two bodies. It says, All beginnings are difficult. And while this may be so, heading in the right direction, with the right foot, for the right reasons, towards the right goal, will ensure that the trip will be worthwhile and pleasant for you and for all of those who love you … Abraham Bruck is an Advanced EFT Practitioner with offices in Monsey, NY and Midtown Manhattan.

Satellite Phones

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=John_Dulaney]John Dulaney With the increase of terrorist attacks, and possible crippling of the cellular networks, people attending conventions have found the viability of renting satellite phones, finding the only way to communicate anywhere with anyone at anytime. If you are a wild life photographer, going for major shoots in the deepest jungles, where the need to communication becomes difficult, the satellite phone will be of much use in times of your need to communicate. Satellite phones are mostly useful in places with no terrestrial infrastructure or in places where the infrastructure is not usable, such as, hurricane inflicted areas, flood affected areas, etc. Today, leading industries including, Iridium, Globalstar & Thuraya are providing satellite phone solutions, with each of them offering their own unique benefits and advantages. There are various options for you to choose from, with the best phone choice depending upon your application and destination, remembering that a satellite phone does not always offer global coverage or translates into world phone. You may visit the various websites which list of the types of phones available from different companies, highlighting the features with coverage area and rates. It is recommended that you review the facts and figures before contemplating on taking up such a satellite phone. Satellite phones made its debut in 1990s with a lot of fanfare. While commercial applications of such phones did not commence in earnest till about 3 to 4 years back, the satellite phone companies went through a lot of rough weather, failing financially and technically. Some problems do exist even today, when a satellite operator’s network fail. There could be other reasons as well. Iridium satellite boasts of over 100,000 subscribers with its 66 satellites and is supposed to be just behind Globalstar with 115,000 subscribers. Iridium has applied for another spectrum of 3.1MHz to meet its growing demand of about 1,000 new subscribers per month. Satellite phones are expensive and costly to operate, but yet it serves the purpose in communication where there is no other way of communicating. A satellite phone, often called ’satphone’, is a mobile telephone system, that communicates directly with the orbiting communication satellites and depending on the network architecture, the coverage may be global, or only for specific regions. These types of phones generally operates with the low orbiting satellites (LEOs), which is believed to provide a wider coverage and better communication clarity. The size of a satellite phone is comparable to the size and weight of the mobile phones that were used in the late 1980s or early 1990s and has a large retractable antenna. The phone equipment itself is known as a terminal. The main difference between a satellite phone and that of a cellular mobile phone is that, while you communicate with the nearest base station in case of a cellular phone, a satellite phone communicates with the nearest satellite. This type of satphone connections do not depend upon any network. Some of this communication technique covers a large area, with the help of multiple low orbiting satellites, relaying the signals from one to the other in order to connect you to the destination that you wish to be connected. Some of the satellite phones use satellites in geostationary orbit, maintaining almost total global coverage operating between three to four such satellites, thus reducing cost. It is important to note that geostationary orbiting satellites are placed at about 22,000 to 30,000 miles above the Earth. The LEOs, as the name signifies, are much lower in space from the Earth, 400 to 700 miles, and as such, a single satellite has limited coverage. Therefore multiple such satellites direct your call to the required destination. On the other hand, LEOs provide better communication clarity than geostationary satellites, because of the inherent delay that it introduce. The least delay with such satellites is 0.5 seconds and this is a major disadvantage of geo stationary satellites. In case of satellite phones communicating with geostationary satellites, the main disadvantage is that, the phone requires a large antenna system for signal transmission and reception. In such cases, the antenna needs to be of high gain, which needs more power to operate. Consequently the size of the phone also increases and can be compared to the size of terrestrial mobile phones in the past, relative to the current tiny terrestrial mobile phones. Satellite phones require a clear view of the sky to operate and will not function inside a building, car or a boat. It would require external antenna system to operate in such environments. This is clearly a serious disadvantage. In working of a cellular phone, the principle is based on dividing an area into zones or base stations called ‘cells’. As you communicate while you move, you leave a particular zone and enter another. Your call is handed over from your previous cell where you were, to the new one where you are currently passing through. Your communication is electronically switched to the cell where you are in. Every cell phone and your Sim card with hold adequate information regarding the identity of your mobile handset and therefore the network is aware of where to locate you when you are leaving one cell and entering the other. In remote areas, such communication is not possible owing to the absence of cellular network. You may have experienced that, while using your mobile handset, as you passed different zones, at a particular area, you lose your connection. The cell phone network apparently ends there. The network operates on the principle of ‘line of sight, so that the towers, set up for cellular communication, must be able to see each other. Within each cell the communication is limited to about 31 miles, as the crow flies. Communication difficulties arise in places where the tower of the cell that you have just left cannot properly see the tower of your present cell zone. This creates dropped calls or breaking up of voices. There are ofcourse other reasons for such happenings. Satellite phones do not have such restrictions, except it needs either the clear view of the sky or an external antenna to operate. When you switch on your satellite phone, the signal goes up to the satellites and gets hooked on to that particular one or a set of satellites, with which you are registered. When making a call, the coverage that your call should have, is determined and its relayed from one satellite to the other. On reaching the destination, the signal is directed to the relevant Earth station, from where it is directed by the gateway the to the call destination. If you should be calling a satellite phone from your mobile, a reverse action takes place. The gateway processes the call and switches the call information. If you should be calling another compatible satellite phone from yours, your call information is sent up to the satellites, which is then transmitted to the Earth station. In turn the Earth station transmits it back to the satellites and then connects you to the called satellite phone. Satellite telephony is becoming more and more necessary with the radio frequency bandwidths getting exhausted and also that he cable lines cannot be fixed to all the parts of the earth. Satellite phone technology is considered to be a formidable invention to keep communication going in this world, with its ability to let you communicate even on the move and to any part of this planet, no matter where you are. When you are lost in an expedition, a satellite phone with you would prove to be a life-saver. You will be constantly in touch with any part of the world with your phone. Satellite phone use overseas, in the USA and around the world. We sell and rent SATELLITE PHONES. SATELLITE PHONE SALES, SATELLITE PHONE, SATELLITE CEL, RENT A SATELLITE PHONE. GSM cell phones and rentals as well. Our phones communicate to the world. SIM CARDs hold the telephone numbers and memory. 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 minims. no contracts, no obligations. You only pay for the calls made.

Unsecured Personal Loans - Explaining the “Why” Behind its Popularity

Friday, May 9th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Andrew_Baker]Andrew Baker Personal loans through banks and financial institutions have been a constant source of funds for most borrowers in the UK. Limited funds and an unlimited number of expenses have always forced individuals to use personal loans. Unsecured personal loans, a version of personal loans, has been very popular among tenants and homeless people. Of late, homeowners too started showing an interest in unsecured personal loans. Reason: the loan provider cannot claim a direct charge on any asset, particularly home. The absence of collateral in an unsecured personal loan doesnt allow loan provider a direct charge on any asset. In the event of bankruptcy, unsecured loan providers are the last to be disbursed. When the proceeds of liquidation are not enough to suffice every creditor, unsecured creditors are the ones who lose. This clearly demonstrates the relatively higher risk that [http://www.loansfiesta.co.uk/unsecured_loans.html] Unsecured Personal loans providers have to face. The stark differences in terms between the two kinds of personal loans are thus justified. This serves as a food for thought for many borrowers who would otherwise complain of inflated terms on unsecured personal loans. Risk plays an important role in gaining the trust of loan providers. Risk is defined as the potential harm that may arise from some event taking place in the present or in the future. Having no collateral to back repayments on increase the risk quotient. The worst affected through the increase in risk is interest rate. Interest rate rises manifold in an unsecured personal loan. While on most occasions the increase is justified, lenders will not miss the opportunity to make some extra pounds. This is done by adding a few percentage points to an already inflated interest rate. Most borrowers will accept this as the norm. Others, who conduct proper search before consenting to the loan, will question the increased interest rate. Comparison of interest rate using loan calculator is till today the best method to avoid loan providers overcharging in terms of interest. Loan calculator illustrates the rates of interest being charged by several prominent banks and financial institutions. The interest rate chargeable on separate categories of loans is also listed in the loan calculator. A borrower planning to have unsecured personal loan will first go to the relevant loan category; in this case the category is unsecured personal loan. A look through the category will reveal the least rates. If the rate being offered to you is higher, then shifting loan providers will be the solution. Allowing the loan provider a justification for the increased rates will be necessary. Sometimes because of bad credit history, the rate of interest or APR has to be further increased. A benefit that unsecured personal loans enjoy over secured personal loans is the promptness of approval. Valuation of property or asset will not be required as in secured loans. A large chunk of time employed for these valuations is saved in this process. Consequently, unsecured personal loans will be preferred on the scales of faster availability. Not many lenders would be prepared to offer large sums of money through unsecured personal loans. The amount desired will be slivered off. Unsecured personal loans cannot be used for purposes where the amount of finance required is very large. The faith enjoyed by a borrower in banks and his personal credit report has a very important role to play in improving his case for unsecured personal loan. Some loan providers immediately reject those with bad credit history. Some others, who are considerate to the problems of bad credit borrowers, offer unsecured personal loans, but with caution. The loan amount rendered is small. Lending policies may however be made less stringent for the borrowers with bad credit. The increasing number of cases of bad credit is improving acceptance of bad credit as a regular phenomena. The increasing preference of homeowners as well as homeless, for unsecured personal loans sees no decline. The desire to see ones home safe has inspired many people to change loyalties from secured personal loans to an unsecured personal loan. With the trend continuing, days are not far when unsecured personal loans will become as lucrative as secured loans.

Serious Skin Care - Tips and Treatments

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

By Joan Braunberger So you want to look and feel healthy but have recurring acne, eczema, pimples or perhaps dry cracking heels and elbows? Or maybe its those wrinkles and fine lines that have begun to appear. Now is the time for a serious skin care routine because theres help for all. No two people are alike so no one method of skincare is right for everyone. You have to do the research for yourself. Some of the most common skin dilemmas come from diet, hormonal and seasonal changes; from stress, sun damage or using the wrong skin care or makeup. Getting serious about identifying the problem means knowing some things about yourself. Products for Anti Aging Are you plagued by skin discoloration, dry skin, age spots or other age related problems?

There are rich, gentle cleansers, soap-free and packed with skin clearing ingredients. Oil and dirt are removed while penetrating the pores to kill acne causing bacteria. This is an important step in the a proactive acne treatment system. A pore clearing tonic eliminates harmful contaminants and clears any clogged pores to return the skin to a natural healthy balance. Foundation Products Good foundation products are the easiest way to get the look of an even, perfect skin. Begin around the nose and mouth to cover then blend outward. Cover any blemishes with a shade that matches, not your hair but your skin. Follow with powder to set the foundation and to get rid of shine. Hands and Feet There are lotions, creams and salves that promote a natural healing for chapped rough skin and cracked heels. The product should smooth, moisturize and protect and be mild enough for man, woman and child. Hands are used in everyday activity. They take a lot of abuse and need a lot of attention.
