I realize that I’m probably just dating myself a little bit … but web-based mapping services like Google Maps or MapQuest just blow me away. Whoever figured out how to map any block on the planet in 5 seconds has to be rich … if not, they should be.

If you’ve never tried this wonderful service, visit maps.google.com right now. No matter where you go … the shortest, most up-to-date maps and driving directions are seconds away.

G-Maps has been my choice for a few years now. Knowledge in the field of geographic mapping has advanced remarkably, producing astonishing immediate maps of most of the planet and directions to almost anywhere in the world.

I’m going to do a brief review of these three, which will hopefully save you some browsing time when you enter the websites.

I switched to Google Maps after using MapQuest for almost 8 years (more on MapQuest below). What changed my loyalty after all those years was examining the directions on Google Maps. You know, when all else fails, read the instructions?

It is a wonderful piece of technology that will present you with maps of almost any part of the world and detailed driving instructions in many countries.

Trying to cover all of Google Maps in this review would fail, so let’s look at the core features of the site and you can discover the rest when you get there.

You can see satellite images of the Earth all over the planet and superimpose streets on those satellite images, it’s great. All key map categories are available to view.

You can see people wandering around the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona or read the home plate logo at Coors Field in Denver. In many parts of the world, it can also generate point-to-point driving directions.

Another exclusive feature of Google Maps is that it allows you to modify the route that has been traced for you, simply by dragging the route marking to another point. We often know alternative routes, learned from experience, that we want to stick to. The other services will not allow you to change the route … with Google Maps it’s easy.

Rand McNally has been making road atlases for a long time. Fred Flintstone is said to have used his atlas. They still favor the printed map or atlas and publish many of them. Next time you stop at a gas station and check the cash register, I bet you will find Rand McNally atlases for sale. Now having said that, they have excellent electronic maps and directions. I find them especially effective for comparing routes with Google or MapQuest as a kind of double check.

MapQuest has been around since the old days of the internet … 1996 … so by electronic standards it’s very old if not old. AOL bought it in 2000 and is still in charge.

I’ve used Map Quest thousands of times and they always deliver. They have excellent maps of the US, Canada and Europe, but they are weaker in the rest of the planet in quality and detail. US addresses are fully detailed and generally very accurate. In some areas of growth, they may be a little behind, simply because trying to keep up with new growth can be challenging.

The last main feature of MapQuest is that it will search for the least expensive gasoline or diesel no matter where you are in the US It’s a good way to control your fuel budget and it will only take you about 30 seconds.

Between the three of these websites, you should be able to target anywhere on the planet.

Fishing is very popular in the Florida Keys, and one of the favorite catches of anglers and tourists is called bonefish. Most people fish it for sport rather than food, and catching it is an art. If someone from New England goes to the Florida Keys to fish bonefish, that person would probably do what I was tempted to do at first: bait the hook with shrimp, cast out, and wait for a bite on the line. As soon as that bite arrives, we New Englanders start fishing, as we do for cod and haddock in our cold waters. However, most of the time, the hook will come back to us empty and our frustration will increase as we keep trying the same ineffective way of catching bonefish.

If you were to call the local fishing guide and ask him to show you how it’s done, this is what you would see. He baited the hook with shrimp, cast out, and waited for a bite on the line. But once he felt that bite, he wouldn’t try to catch the fish right away. Instead, the experienced guide would begin to remove the thread from the spool. After a minute or two, the guide may turn to you and say, “Now that’s okay. Are you ready for it?” Then you would roll it up. So why would the guide go through the fish in a line instead of trying to roll it up from the beginning?

It turns out that bonefish feed on shrimp found in shallow water plains. As soon as they get one, they dive into deeper waters to avoid those big pink birds known as flamingos. Flamingos are predators and will pounce and try to eat bonefish for lunch while hunting shrimp in shallow water. To avoid becoming a flamingo fillet, the bonefish seeks safety in deeper waters. Once he’s alone and safe, he finally swallows the shrimp and the hook. With the hook inside the fish, you can now place the hook to roll it up. If you are impatient and try to coil the fish too fast, it is almost impossible to catch a bonefish. Their strategy to prevent themselves from becoming food is to keep the shrimp in their mouths as they run to safety. The bonefish does not swallow the crustacean, nor the hook, until it finds refuge in deeper waters. If you try to wind them the right way, the hook will just come loose and you’ll come out empty-handed.

THE STRIPED LINING EFFECTIVELY DISCOVER THE PAIN

The fishing technique I just shared with you is known as strip lining, but I’m not just sharing fishing stories. This concept is a powerful metaphor to illustrate what happens when you integrate it into your sales techniques to uncover a potential customer’s pain. Strip coating becomes even more effective when combined with a little lesson from the great physicist Sir Isaac Newton, who said that objects at rest tend to stay at rest and objects in motion tend to stay in motion. When you think about it, Newton’s theory applies even to sales.

Prospects can be neutral. A neutral perspective would be a pendulum that does not move. They can be positive, like the pendulum swinging to the right, towards the positive, towards the possibility of buying and closing deals with you. The third position would be negative. The pendulum is swinging to the left, in the direction of not doing business with you or buying from you, ending with no deal or no negative results.

All sellers have faced positive, negative and neutral prospects. Most sellers feel that positive prospects are the easiest to sell. It is true that they are. when it is based solely on traditional sales approaches. Once you learn Negative reverse selling®Strip siding in particular, both positive and negative prospects are much easier to sell.

Negative reverse sale it means acting in a way that is exactly the opposite of the way the potential customer expects you to act. An example would be salespeople who seem to be trying to convince potential customers not to buy your product or service. Yes, it sounds counter-intuitive at first, and maybe even silly, but believe it or not, this can work when done correctly. Strip- lining is a specific technique under the Negative reverse sale parasol. Let’s take a closer look at these sales as well and take a look at the prospect that is perhaps the hardest to sell.

SELL TO THE NEUTRAL PACKAGE LEAFLET

Most of the time, you’ll find that the hardest prospects of all to sell to are the neutrals whose pain you haven’t discovered yet. Why? Because they are stagnant, they are not moving, they are not going anywhere. The neutral perspective is not emotionally involved and has no strong feelings, either positive or negative. At least when the prospects are positive or negative, they feel something. So what do you do with a neutral prospect? You need to make it swing one way or another on the emotional pendulum.

Ask yourself this: Would it be easier to get a neutral prospect to move into the negative or into the positive? In other words, would it be easier to convince that neutral prospect not to do business with you or to motivate them to do business with you? Without a doubt, the easiest thing to do with a neutral prospect is to move them into the negative, essentially dissuading them from doing business with you. Because they expect you to try to convince them to work with you, they will move in the negative direction much more easily. Suggesting the opposite of what the potential customer expects is disarming. If you can get neutral prospects to move into the negative, they will suddenly become much easier to sell. Why? Because you have set them in motion. The prospect gets involved and involved emotionally. I realize it goes against everything I’ve learned when it comes to selling, but stick with me here and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Stay tuned for our next blog, where we will discuss various coating techniques that effectively take your neutral lead as negative and end up with positive results.

Some of the best remedies for common ailments seem to have been forgotten in today’s society, where a trip to the pharmacy can yield a drug that will cure anything. The next time you have one of these common ailments, try doing what Grandma did and go to your kitchen cabinet instead of the pharmacy. It will be kinder to your wallet and your health!

While vitamin C, D, and zinc supplements will shorten the lifespan of a common cold, a warm lemon drink is also very good. Fresh lemon juice and honey are great soothing for a sore throat and give the body much-needed vitamin C. The juice of one lemon in a glass of water is enough.

When you have a cold or flu, the constant rubbing of tissues on your nose and lips can cause irritation and pain. Try some petroleum jelly or petroleum jelly on your sore lips and nose.

A ‘cold’ in which the nose and eyes are watering profusely can be inconvenient and even embarrassing, but believe it or not, you can help alleviate these drip symptoms with an onion. Just soak a slice of onion in a glass of hot water for two seconds, then sip cold water throughout the day. In fact, it is good to have onion when you have a cold and putting half an onion on the nightstand at night can get rid of cold symptoms because its smell is inhaled while you sleep.

For those unpleasant moments when you suffer from diarrhea, two tablespoons of brown vinegar will usually fix the problem.

In addition to common kitchen products, many herbs can be used to treat ailments instead of expensive medications. For example, if you suffer from headaches, dizziness, or tinnitus, you can try feverfew leaves.

Tea tree and eucalyptus oils are helpful in treating a variety of respiratory ailments. They are excellent for treating colds and coughs. They can be massaged into the chest or burned in an oil burner to help clear the airways and prevent congestion. Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic and can be applied to cuts, bites, and stings. It is often used to treat blemishes and pimples and when diluted with water, it acts as a mouth gargle (note that it should never be swallowed).

One of the things that I think most people in the marketing world take for granted is that everyone understands the critical role of marketing in business. However, through my daily interactions with other business owners over the past few years, I have been struck by the relative lack of understanding of the importance of marketing. Most of the time, marketing takes a backseat, tertiary thinking that comes after your product / service and day-to-day operations, even if it’s such a high priority.

One of the phrases that my business partner, James Orr, has coined in the real estate investing arena is that “it all starts with motivated sellers.” Without motivated sellers, there are no properties to buy, rentals to place tenants, repairmen to sell, or deals to wholesale. This is such an important aspect of real estate investing that it is almost a mantra for the way James and many other successful real estate investors conduct their businesses. The key to contacting motivated salespeople is marketing.

I suppose a good place to start in this discussion is to define what marketing is. Google defines tells us that marketing is “the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to satisfy customers.” Marketing really consists of more than what most people think it does. Marketing is about more than the activities that drive sales. Rather, marketing encompasses all activities that seek to identify what consumers want and how to promote and deliver those goods and services.

Before an individual or business makes the decision to produce a particular product or service, they must first spend time determining whether there is a market for that offering. If there is demand, they need to figure out how to get that supply to consumers who want it, how to tell consumers that it is available, and how to price it so that there is money left for a profit. This is all part of the marketing process and should really happen before the actual product is produced.

In the most common use of the term, “marketing” is often considered just the promotional aspect of a product or service that is already available. This part of marketing consists of making the consumer aware of what you offer and convincing them to buy it. There is a tendency in corporate environments to separate marketing and sales functions into disparate departments, which is often a mistake. The purpose of the promotional element of marketing is to drive sales and therefore the two functions are closely connected. A good example of the disconnect between these two departments is when companies that sell capital goods have far more people in their marketing departments than in their field sales force. Another example is when marketing and product development people ignore information from field sales people. This information is often derived from actual customer contact, which most employees in large organizations do not experience.

The main purpose of one of my blogs is to test marketing promotions using a wide range of messages, media, and markets, often referred to as the three M’s of marketing. Before conducting a test, we first do a background investigation to determine if there is a market for what we are considering selling, and we analyze if we can at least break even in the marketing test using certain realistic assumptions about sales. ratios. Pricing strategy is also something we discussed a lot before launching a new test. The actual development of sales copy, ad writing and placement, setup of measurement systems, etc., comes later in the process. The next thing is to generate sales and tracking metrics, and then adjust the marketing.

Unfortunately, many business owners don’t understand the importance of marketing. Because of this, they are unable to plan for difficult times in the business cycle, such as low seasons, economic downturns, and other events. As the cliché goes, “to fail to plan is to plan to fail.” Every business must have a marketing plan of some kind and it must be in writing. Businesses that don’t “do” marketing will invariably fail.

In short, without marketing there are no sales. And without sales, there is no income. And without revenue, any business will quickly succumb to statistics that show that nearly 2/3 of all businesses fail in their first 4 years.

In the best of circumstances, those of us who share life with a pet are fortunate to have many happy and fulfilling years together. Unfortunately, life is arbitrary and loss is inevitable, and we know that our pets generally lead much shorter lives than we do. Some of them die at a young age; others die in middle age or old age. Some die of illness or disease, accident or injury, while others die of birth defects or old age. As we observe their physical and / or mental suffering and deterioration, it becomes increasingly obvious that they may need our help, as their guardians and caregivers, to provide compassion and selfless love to assist them on their challenging journey and achieve a result that is of greatest benefit to them.

Many pet owners are invariably faced with the decision of whether and when to euthanize their beloved pets. However, people seem to know very little about the process and what it entails. For those unfamiliar with the term, “euthanasia” is the Greek term meaning “good death” that infers the least painful and humane means of dying and ending the suffering of the animal. Many people think they are rendering a service to their suffering animals by letting them go “naturally” on their own. It is much kinder and more generous to help an animal that no longer has any quality of life to allow it to be sacrificed, surrounded and comforted by its loved ones and, if possible, in peace in the environment of its home or in a special place. The prospect and appropriateness of euthanasia should be carefully thought out and discussed with expert animal health care professionals, including your own veterinarian who knows your animal’s history and personality.

When is it appropriate to euthanize a beloved pet? There are many criteria that can help you make this decision. Does your pet still have quality of life or does it spend most of its time suffering, with discomfort and pain? Does he keep playing and interacting with you and other family members? Or is she isolated, withdrawn, and separated from her family and friends? Are you showing signs of pain? Are you mobile, incontinent, and unable to perform even simple tasks that you did with ease and happiness in the past? Do you sleep the vast majority of the time? Are you eating and drinking regularly? Are you urinating and defecating regularly? Have you been diagnosed with a terminal illness for which there is no cure or treatment? Usually your pet (with whom you have forged a beautiful and irrevocable bond of love and trust) will somehow let you know when she’s ready to go … Our animal companions know us better, perhaps, than anyone else …

When the lives of our dear friends are drastically shortened and no longer bearable, then we as human beings, as guardians and caregivers, can step in and provide those in need with the greatest gift of all, in addition to our love, loyalty, and devotion. it is the gift of goodness, grace and mercy. It is the ability to eliminate your pain, to end your suffering. Although we cannot heal them or restore their youthful vigor and vitality, we can bring them the gift of peace and a release from suffering.

Although few of us, if any, expect to make this complex decision, we can, through our love and compassion, offer this gift of grace and mercy to our faithful friends in need. It is perhaps the kindest, most selfless and humane decision we can make.

The PlayStation 4 was released in North America on November 15, 2013. About two and a half years later, the PlayStation 4 has received many changes to the overall design and interface. When the console was originally released, it had a very simple user interface that lacked many features. Since launch, we’ve received a host of new notification options, more social connectivity, SharePlay, PlayStation Now, PlayStation Vue, a rebrand of PlayStation Music that now incorporates Spotify, and many more features. What does all this mean for Sony as a company? These new additions have continued to help the PlayStation brand lead the pack in console sales, selling millions more than their Wii U and Xbox One counterparts.

A criminal attorney is someone who specializes in handling criminal cases with implications like arson, DUI, murder, robbery, etc. The main function of a criminal lawyer is to review the evidence and devise an effective defense strategy. Criminal attorneys work as defense attorneys or prosecutors. A criminal defense attorney will represent the accused, advise the client on legal matters, and assist in the drafting of legal documents such as contracts, wills, etc. They can also act as public defenders in cases of homelessness. A criminal defense attorney with substantial experience in the field will have the ability to cross-examine prosecution witnesses to prove the client’s innocence. In extreme situations, a professional attorney can negotiate with the prosecution attorney to impose charges and punishments fairly. A prosecutor works on behalf of the government in criminal proceedings. Whether it is defense or prosecution, criminal attorneys can use government statistics and other official documents at any stage of the case. The laws governing criminal attorneys vary from state to state, but a basic code of law is observed throughout the United States. The criminal lawyer’s office will assume the responsibility of meeting clients, arranging brief appointments, conducting background investigations on cases, etc.

To practice as a licensed attorney, you must pass the bar exam after completing a three-year course at a law school. In addition to educational requirements, a criminal lawyer must possess certain qualities, such as good communication and listening skills, organizational skills, public speaking skills, the ability to handle complex criminal cases, and to deal with people of all backgrounds. Since criminal cases involve a lot of paperwork for criminal trials and proceedings, criminal attorneys must also possess writing skills. Also, they should be excellent negotiators. The salary of a criminal lawyer will depend on the jurisdiction and the nature of the case.

Smooth, even-toned skin can be a confidence boost for a man and is always a hit with women, but skincare for black men can be tough – being more prone to ingrown hairs and hyperpigmentation caused by Cuts, bumps or pimples mean that special care must be taken to obtain the desired smooth and even skin tone. Men of other races are not exempt from these problems, but they tend to affect black men more. African American skin has more melanin than other skin types, and while this provides some benefits, such as some natural protection from the sun and slower aging, it also means that the skin is more prone to scarring and hyperpigmentation.

Usually scars and hyperpigmentation caused by cuts, pimples, or ingrown hairs fade on their own, but it can take several months and if you are developing new scars as old ones are healing, they will never seem to fade.

Two steps can be taken to alleviate the problem and the first is prevention. Ingrown hairs occur when hair does not grow, but instead curls and grows on the skin. Black men are more likely to get them because curly hair texture is more likely to get trapped under the skin. The follicle can become infected and form a lump on the hair. It is tempting to use tweezers to pull the hair out, but this can often cause further irritation and will leave a dark mark or scar after the hair has been removed.

Follow these tips to minimize ingrown hairs and razor bumps:

– Change your razor or blade frequently. If you use an electric razor and shave every 1-2 days, the blade should be replaced at least once a month.

– Be sure to shave in the direction the hair grows. Shaving away from the hair allows for a closer shave, but also increases the likelihood of ingrown hairs.

– Exfoliate your skin regularly by washing your face with a good facial scrub.

The second step is to fade the dark marks that you already have. Skin lightening products work by inhibiting or regulating melanin production to even out skin tone. When choosing a skin lightening product, it is especially important for African-Americans to stay away from hydroquinone-based products, as they can cause more damage in the long term. There are a number of hydroquinone-free products that are just as effective at reducing dark marks and smoothing skin tone.

By following these simple steps to minimize ingrown hairs and razor bumps and then following up with a good skin lightening cream to fade any remaining dark marks, black men’s skin care becomes simple.
