Today, thanks to technology, there are more ways to find the most recent community updates. You just have to know where to look. City Websites Most cities and towns have a website that you can visit.

No Good Deed Goes Uncriticized

When Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, announced plans to devote most of their fortune to philanthropic causes they believe will improve the world for their daughter's generation, a lot of people applauded their initiative. Unsurprisingly, more than a few people also denounced it. Money, or more specifically control over money, represents power: the power to make things happen. Lack of money does not necessarily mean lack of power, however, because in our society, votes are neither allocated nor legally transferred in connection with wealth. It is supposed to be one person, one vote. Contrast this with corporate governance, in which the more shares one holds, the more votes one gets. Few of us see anything undemocratic about that arrangement in business, even though we do not propose to assign votes for public office the same way. One person, one vote is what community organizing is about: The idea is that if you can assemble enough votes, ind...

Encouraging Words for Christians

As Christians, we go through a lot that requires both resilience and perseverance. The myriad challenges dealt to us by the modern world, coupled with the devil's natural instincts to harm us are just but some of the tribulations that characterize our daily living.

Let us now discuss some of these encouraging words and see where we can get comfort from the challenges that have been, and will continue to be part of our lives. As we have already seen, the Christian's life is a suffering lot. We are bombarded with challenge after challenge. It is important to understand that the days we live in were prophesied as the last days characterized by perils and tribulations. Because God envisaged this, He teaches us through the Holy Scripture in the book of Revelation 12:11 that we will overcome only by the blood of the lamb, by the word of our ...

Christian Affirmation for Women

A woman was created after God created Adam and can therefore be considered as an important creature because God saw that Adam could not live without her. In Genesis, God made man fall into a deep sleep and removed one of his limbs and gave it to Eve. A woman may happen to be a wife, mother, a daughter, a sister and therefore comes in handy in most parts of our lives. Christians affirm women to be mothers and therefore, the world would not be full of human beings were it not the ability of women to conceive. Eve, the first mother, gave birth to the first children Cain and Abel. This in a big way can build self esteem in all women and thus they should adore motherhood. Women are known to show much love to their children unconditionally in which case the love is reciprocated. In the Bible, women were to be protected whenever there was war. Therefore, Christians emphasize that women are the two wheels of the universe, without which the society, our civilization, in ...

Obesity A Threat To National Wellbeing

The warning by Professor Dame Sally Davies, Britain's Chief Medical Officer (CMO), that overweight and obesity in women has now become so widespread that it should be treated as a "national risk" alongside threats such as terrorism and climate change, has focussed attention on a problem that has grown alarmingly over the past few decades. Apart from its other implications, both for the nation and for the individuals concerned, attention has again been drawn to the fact that a large part of the cost of the UK's National Health Service (NHS) is incurred in treating conditions that are preventable and self-inflicted. According to the CMO, obesity in younger women during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage and premature birth, and can result in children carrying a higher risk of heart disease and of becoming obese in their turn. Official figures show that 51 per cent of women of optimum child bearing age (25 to 34) are overweight or obese,...

Economic Development Assistance Brings Back the American Dream

It all starts with a dream. You have an idea, you start a business, you work hard, and you send your kids to college. For many, the American Dream has increasingly become difficult to attain. It is harder for the average American to navigate the country's economic climate. Regional institutions, such as a city's Chamber of Commerce or a state's Economic Development branch, provide Economic Development Assistance services and incentives. Representatives from these institutions act as mediators between aspiring professionals and the challenges of the modern marketplace, and they even arrange for more commercial interactions. Natural "solopreneurs" still emerge, but having help drastically improves one's chances of success. Individual Success Fosters Overall Market Success Leaders cannot ignore the crucial role companies play in the overall well-being of their communities.

If either scenario is accurate for you, there are tips that can help you to improve the situation. Evaluating whether your content is engaging The first thing that you need to do (absolutely before anything else) after you have identified your target audience is to evaluate the content that you have.

Best Credit Card Processors for Small Business

The easier it is for your customer to spend money on your site, the more they'll spend. Seems simple enough right? Think about it though. If you're considering making a purchase of a product from a website but you're not 100% certain yet, the payment process can be a deal breaker. If someone is at the point on your site where they are ready to make a purchase, congratulations, you've done a great job with your website. Don't underestimate how much work it takes to get someone to that stage! The last thing you want though, is for them to make that choice, then click your payment button only to be taken to a confusing payment process where they have to sign-up for some sort of account or take some action that just delays the payment process. This can easily turn someone who is leery about making their online purchase into someone who closes the window and leaves your site out of frustration. I'll say it again... You need to make it easy for people to spen...

What You Must Know About Genetically Modified Animals

Well there has been a debate on whether genetically modified foods are safe for human consumption or not. There are some people who totally have no problem with GMOs while others who are against this types of food. For the first time, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a genetically modified animal for human consumption: the Salmon. You will expect different reactions from the public with such news. Some going to the streets to demonstrate.

The FDA also says that it is healthy and has no nutritional difference with other farm raised salmon. The big question is, are genetic engineered animals good for health and safe for human consumption? Let's discuss that.

Avoid Long-Term Issues By Treating Your Car Accident Knee Injuries

Concussions, neck injury and back injury are the most common damages we associate with a person in a car accident. However, if you overlook for too long, injuries that looked insignificant and less painful at first may turn out to cause a permanent disability. One of these 'minor' areas is the knee, which ironically, is also one of the most complex joints in a human body. Therefore, if your knee hurts after a car accident, do not delay visiting a doctor for knee injury and getting a thorough checkup. Common Knee Injuries from a Car Accident A knee has an intricate combination of several cartilages, bones, ligaments and muscles.

Five Things To Consider When Choosing Health Clubs

Although most people buy them with the best of intentions, gym memberships often go underutilized, even unused. According to industry data, only 18 percent of members visit their health clubs on a regular basis. Why would anyone pay for something they rarely or never use? One possible explanation is that they don't like the club they signed up for, but they can't quit because they're locked in a long-term contract. With that in mind, here are five things you should consider before selecting a gym. The Staff Ever wonder how some health clubs get away with charging cheap monthly fees? More often than not, they do this by cutting their staff to the bone. By keeping what is essentially a skeleton crew, these gyms can lower their membership fees to attract cost-conscious consumers. Of course, these cutbacks invariably come at a cost. With fewer employees to run the facility, users should not expect much personal attention. And while this might be just fine for the average...

Eliminating Unwanted Perfume

Our first thought is to use soap and water and wash the area where the perfume was applied. Short of rubbing the area raw, this won't make much of a difference as fragrances are prepared with ingredients that are soluble in alcohol rather than water. I personally do not recommend rubbing your skin with pure alcohol as this is a harsh solution and would turn sensitive skin into a mass of red spots. Therefore, I will share with you my favorite approaches to get rid of the unpleasant perfumes in a safe, gentle and effective way. Not only do these remove unwanted perfume but can also be used as beauty treatments. Makeup Remover  - look for makeup removers that are designed for waterproof cosmetics. Using several cotton balls, saturate with the makeup remover and apply over the perfumed area. Allow the solution to remain on the skin for about 3 minutes. Should any trace of the fragrance still remain, use a fresh cotton ball with makeup remover and repeat the process. Rinse the ar...

How Your Attitude Affects Your Money Making

Do you find yourself giving up on your money making goals? Do you find yourself doubting that you can still make that money after running into a dead end? If so, then you can be sure that this is the reason why you aren't making money. Without confidence we are twice defeated in this money race. Most CEOs, most leaders of industry are positive.

Movember Madness - Cancers Prevalent in Men and How to Fight Them

It is actually sad, but there are not many men who are actually aware of diseases that are making a serious dent in the male population of the world.

What Bird Feeders Can Teach You About Marketing

I'm sitting on my back deck and enjoying a beautiful fall morning when I hear a ruckus. Looking up, I see three small grey and white chickadees dive-bombing the bird feeder 10 feet away from me. They zoom in, pull up, hover, land, peck for seed, then fly off into a nearby tree. Then they repeat this exercise multiple times. They know what they want: birdseed. And once they realize where it's located, nothing will stop them from getting it. Your prospects are like chickadees. They are looking for answers to the questions that are keeping them awake at night. They talk with their co-workers and search the web, but don't find good answers. They feel stuck with no solution in sight. Meandering through their day, they hear ads promising relief... but they don't trust ad writers who too often twist the truth to their advantage. They arrive home and rifle through the mail, barely noticing any difference in the dinner and seminar invitations from competing business...

Do you adore the sight of adorable hamsters, gerbils, rabbits or chinchillas in a pet store? They have certainly found their way into cartoons, stories, and cute greeting cards. Rabbit lore brings to mind the literary work of Beatrix Potter, especially the one about the fuzzy little miscreant Peter who sneaked into a farmer's garden and had a feast before getting chased down. They area farmer's foe, but pet rabbits are a different story. They are equally sought out as pets as are hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, and rats-all members of the rodent family.
