Health wise E-cigarette is the better Choice to Regular Cigarettes

Health wise E-cigarette is the better Choice to Regular Cigarettes: 
About 70% of cancer related issues is caused by smoking regular cigarettes. With all the facts and warnings related to regular tobacco smoking, you can’t miss words to explain to a person how dangerous regular smoking can be to his or her health. A while back it seemed impossible to totally discourage or reduce the number of smokers, even with clear data and facts to prove the dangers. Recently, the introduction of electronic cigarette seems to be the ideal solution to this situation. They are battery-powered devices that look like common cigarettes in appearance. They are filled with liquid nicotine that usually dissolves in a solution of propylene glycol and water. You can always check reviews to find what is the best electronic cigarette in the market.

E-Cigs are considered better for people's health compared to normal cigarettes and below is a highlight of why this is so.

Normal cigarettes contain toxins that are harmful to human life; however e-cigs have been manufactured with less toxic substances. Examples of components in e-cigs are: - propylene glycol and glycerin. These two are considered harmless as they are components also found in common products such as toothpaste, asthma inhalers, hand sanitizers, and Other FDA approved food stuff. Though e-cigs also Cadmium, nickel and lead but in forms and amounts that are considered to be nontoxic. Cigarettes generally contain more than 4000 harmful chemicals and carcinogen that accounts for 25% of cancer related deaths in the UK alone. 

Smoking regular tobacco cigarette not only harms you, but also the people around you. Secondary smokers also suffer from use of these harmful products. Electronic cigarettes are socially acceptable as they don’t pollute the atmosphere with smoke, meaning that by using e-cigs we reduce the risk of hurting family or friends. 

Tobacco smoking exposes ones lungs to the smoke, this in turn damages the lungs and one gets difficulties in breathing. Electronic cigarettes can’t literary produce smoke that is inhaled; normally it is just the vaporized nicotine that is inhaled. This greatly reduces the risk of passive smoking.

E-cigs can be considered to be as effective as the nicotine fixing products in the market that help people quit smoking. There are some study cases that show electronic cigarette has several health benefits.

Are Automated Telephone Systems Worth the Risk?

With the advent of voice recognition technology and automated telephone systems, many customer service processes that were once handled by human beings are now performed by machines. While this progress can result in more efficiency and cost savings, there are numerous risks associated with using these methods. 

Before you decide to ditch your customer service department for an automated system, consider these problems: 

1. Your customers may not be that sophisticated

Your new automated system may be great for someone who is tech savvy, but to the common customer, it may be frustrating and difficult to use. You absolutely must test out automated systems on your average customer to determine whether it’s helping or hurting their experience with your company. 

2. It’s an impersonal communication channel 

The internet has drastically reduced the person to person interaction between companies and their customers. By implementing an automated phone system, you eliminate one of the last channels where people can speak to a live person and experience the human side of your business. 

As an example, many tech companies employ virtual systems for handling support calls. Instead of relying on automation, they could utilize a contact center that serves the technology industry, allowing them to save money while also providing live personnel to handle their calls. 

3. It is impossible to account for everything

Human customer service agents can evaluate situations and respond accordingly. Computers, on the other hand, need instructed on every possible scenario. Setting up an automated system that can accurately address every possible situation is next to impossible. 

For example, say a customer’s spouse just died and they’re calling to change information in their account. An automated menu may be able to make the changes for them, but it won’t be able to adjust to the situation and empathize with the caller. It will be the same cold voice that every customer receives. 

4. It makes it harder to differentiate your brand

What stands out more: a company that implements a frustrating automated system in order to save money or a company that invests in customer friendly processes that emphasize satisfaction? Since most companies are in the former category, a company that focuses on customer satisfaction instead of cost savings is one that can truly stand out amongst the competition. 

When you choose to ditch traditional customer service in return for automated phone trees, you lose the opportunity to reinforce what makes your company different. Make sure to consider these downsides if offering stellar customer service is important to your brand. 

Conclusion

There are a lot of positives associated with automation and advanced technology, but there are downsides as well. Before you make a decision to pursue automated solutions and reduce your need for human personnel, take the time to consider the pros and cons. Protecting your brand and image is definitely worth the time.

Boost Website Optimization with Local Search Techniques

There are many companies and organizations today who offer their services and products globally but there are also many who are not active worldwide and who simply want to increase their visibility for local clients. This is where local search engine optimization (SEO) or local search steps into the limelight.

What is Local Search?

If you are searching for something in a specific area, local search results will provide you with the relevant information. For example, if you are looking for an SEO company in Austin, it’s helpful to see the location of these available companies in Google maps or if you are looking for a hairdresser nearby, Google will provide you with a list of local hairdressers.

 It’s important to note, that this local information from Google is triggered either explicitly or implicitly. That is, search results that are location-specific can be triggered intentionally when one adds a location to their search query.

 In response, Google will provide you with specific location based results which can be accessed globally. Once you add a location to your search query, Google’s location-based search algorithm is triggered.

 On the other hand though, if you are searching for a doctor for example, Google understands that some search queries are location sensitive and even if you do not specify the city, Google will provide you with a list of local doctors in your area. That is, this implicit location search will still give you the information you require without specifying a location in your search terms since Google can automatically detect your location based on your IP address.

The bottom line is no matter what type of business you have, if you rely on local clients for your success, local SEO is a must. 

How to Groom Your Site for Local Search

The great thing is that there are a wide variety of local search marketing strategies which can boost local search results such as using Google Plus, Places and Business, Maps, citation building, keyword placement, webpage formatting, use of specific Google software, geographic signals and much more. So let’s explore this a little further. 

Relevant Domain Extension

In order for search engines to associate your website with a specific geographic location, you can use a country-specific domain extension. For example, a website with the domain extension .co.za is probably directed at South African traffic and has content specifically for South African visitors. 

Don’t worry if you already have a neutral domain extension such as .org or .com because by using Google Webmaster Tools, you can link your website to a specific geographic location. Simply log in to your account and from the Configuration tab, you can select Settings and then choose your preferred geographic target. 

Content Is King 

Quality content is vital for successful SEO and this means that you need to provide content that offers traffic the most authoritative source of information. Google is determined to provide searchers with the most relevant results and in order to make sure that your site is the answer to Google’s quest, you need to ensure your content enhances domain and brand authority. 

Also, don’t forget to add your business address on your website. You can either do this on every page within the text, the page title or in the URL or you can add it to the footer of the website. By optimizing your pages, you can also help search engines to list your site to local users. A PR firm will often mention the location of a company in their online PR in order to optimize the content for local search. 

Google+ Local

There are many benefits to using Google Places which is the local listing result of Google and now with the introduction of Google+, this service has been embedded into the company’s identity and social networking service. This authorship tool also associates the content on the web directly with the its original author. Google will display your Google+ listing in their search results and it will provide the business name, phone number, address, images as well as the location on a map. Google+ Local and Maps also features detailed ratings and reviews from Zagat.

Mobile Is A Must

Let’s look at the facts. In 2011, the Google+ iPhone app was the most popular free app in the Apple App store and a survey done in 2013 showed that 30% of smartphone users who were surveyed, use the Google+ app at least once a month whereas over ninety-two percent of US smartphone users had visited a Google app or web site in August 2013. What does this mean? Your website has to be responsive and mobile-friendly and it has to cater for the growing mobile market. Matt Cutts, Google’s Webspam Team Leader, made this quite clear during his address at Pubcon Las Vegas in 2013.

Conclusion

It is clearly evident that there are a wide variety of techniques that you can use to boost the visibility of your website for location-specific search queries. So whether you are a restaurant in Sydney or an internet marketing company in New York, connecting yourself effectively to the locals is vital for your online marketing success. 

Information om påsar under ögonen

Påsar under ögonen kan uppstå av flera olika orsaker. De kan dels vara ärftliga, men de kan också uppstå på grund av allergi, för lite sömn, dåliga matvanor eller genom att du dricker för lite vätska. Du kan även få påsar under ögonen genom att sova för mycket. De flesta drabbas någon gång av påsar under ögonen, och symptomen blir ofta vanligare desto äldre vi blir.

Motverka påsar under ögonen

Påsarna är ofta svullnader och en nedkylning av huden under ögonen kan därför få svullnaden att gå ner. Det finns speciella ögonbehandlingar som kan reducera svullnaden att köpa i hudvårds och hälsobutiker, men för den som vill ta till en gratis huskur går det också bra. Genom att exempelvis lägga en matsked en stund i frysen (ca 20 minuter) och sedan ta ut den för att trycka mot huden under ögonen kan man reducera svullnaden. Om du tycker att kylan från metallskeden blir för obehaglig kan du istället testa att doppa en handduk i kallt vatten och sedan trycka den mot påsarna under ögonen. Det finns även behandlingar att beställa på internet som kan reducera dina påsar. Exempelvis finns det speciella hudvårdsprodukter (ögonplåster) innehållandes naturligt kollagen och flera vitaminer att köpa som placeras under ögonen. Kroppen absorberar sedan innehållet i behandlingen och ger kroppen bästa möjliga förutsättning för att bibehålla sin lyster. Ett tips är att beställa behandlingar mot påsar under ögonen på http://påsar-under-ögonen.se/ Många väljer att göra egna ögonbehandlingar hemma genom att lägga gurkskivor under ögonen. Det finns också dem som lägger krossad avokado eller urkramade kalla tepåsar med exempelvis kamomillsmak under ögonen och menar att detta ger bra effekt. Tänk på att din kost kan påverka din hud. Drick och ät inte allt för mycket alkohol, koffein och socker. Det kan nämligen göra att din hud mår dåligt. Istället bör du se till att dricka så mycket vatten som möjligt. Experter menar att du ska dricka åtminstonde 1,5 liter om dagen för att må bra. Huden består nämligen av hela 70% vatten och behöver hela tiden återfuktas inifrån för att inte torka ut.

Mörka ringar vid ögonen

Mörka ringar under ögonen uppstår oftast eftersom blodådrorna precis under ögonen syns eftersom kärlen och huden är väldigt tunn vid det området. Du kan lindra dessa symptom genom att se till att sova tillräckligt länge, minst 8 timmar per natt. Du bör också äta en allsidig kost rik på grönsaker och frukt. Se till att inte äta allt för mycket salt.

Isabella Rodrigo Charity

OUR MISSION
Isabella Rodrigo Charity aims and works towards stopping the severe pverty that many beautiful little children have been forced to live under. Children are the leaders of tomorrow and these little beautiful creatures of God living with these extreme situations, infections, sicknesses in Africa, Asia, and Brazil has to be eradicated.

WHY?
Many African countries find it difficult to attract and retain experienced physicians because salaries are so low.

In Malawi, Niger, Kenya, Mozambque, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mali, children eat around once or less per day. This is an absolute deprivation of a childhood, as many of these children never eat a balanced meal in months to years. Situations like these can also prompt these wonderful young children to easily go into life of crime, theft, robbery, drugs, sometimes depression and death.

Why should a young baby boy or girl of 5 years or less have to walk 4-5 miles just to get water to take a daily shower? While most of us have hot tubs, showers, swimming pools, jacuzzi  at the palm of our hands.

OUR WORK MATTERS
This is a serious crisis due to the dismal health conditions in these countries from people living in extreme poverty and exposed to diseases. Everyday, 35,000 children under 5 years of age die in the developing world. The great majority of these deaths are from health problems that can be prevented by simple "better living conditions".

In total, over 13 million people die year from easily treatable infectious diseases. This accounts for a quarter of all deaths worldwide.

WHAT WE’RE DOING TO HELP
Isabella Rodrigo Charity works provide blocks of houses for families in these African Villages. We want to put families in better accommodations, flats where they have clean and regular water supply, constant electricity, food supply and general free-restaurants for buildings with families. Children deserve some free time to play around meet other wonder kids like themselves share certain childhood memories, play sports and develope their God-given talents.

It is our mission to encourage you all out there to please pay attention to the situation people are living in, and show us your support.

Protect Your online privacy through Tor


Online privacy is quickly becoming a hot topic on many news sites. I talk about your online privacy, and also how the Tor Browser can help.

Is my online privacy being invaded? And can Tor and me protect it?

We have been hearing a lot recently about marketing companies, street cameras, and even the NSA invading our privacy. In this article we are going to go over what information is actually being collected on you, whether you should be concerned, and what you can do about it.
There are a lot of subtle aspects to this topic, and I want to help you understand what is going on in the online world and what you can do about it. If you know you would like to increase your online privacy and security, I'll provide a link to download the Tor Browser here at the top. It is also provided at the bottom of the article, which also gives more context on how to use it.

1. What are they monitoring and why?

Let's skip the scare tactics used by most news organizations. I'm going to break down into three primary groups, because each wants different things: companies, the government, and hackers.
Companies: Put bluntly, marketers do not care who you are on an individual level. At the end of the day they are trying to get you to buy their product, and seeing if the cost of convincing you is less than the profit of the product. Generally you are categorized into some type of demographic combination like [gender]-[has looked at car prices in the last week?]-[lives in a country with one of our stores?]. They are working on trying to analyze tens of millions of users, and very rarely get caught up in you as an individual.
The government: The NSA has made a lot of headlines recently, along with PRISM and a lot of other scary buzzwords. The bulk of these intrusions are actually into companies getting access to their data. This includes e-mail, purchasing information, and a variety of other trails you leave.
The boring reality though, is that these are mostly robots scanning e-mails for dangerous looking words or locations. For the average person, this means your private information will never be touched by a human being since that costs a fair amount of resources. But if you are interested, I recommend reading more from the Electonic Frontier Foundation, who are a public advocacy group that work to defend privacy rights online.
Please note I am talking mostly about the EU & the American government here. The story changes quite dramatically if you are in a country where free speech is more limited. The differences between various countries internationally is well beyond the scope of this article. But if you are unsure, always err on the safe side of respecting local norms and laws.
Hackers: These are individuals or groups who try to obtain your personal information to exploit your identity. These make headlines all the time, and sometimes are done on a very a large scale. At the end of the day though, most of the time the primary target is your credit card.
It used to be enough to make sure you never purchased from non-reputable sellers and were smart with how you used your credit card online. Today though, there are many tricks that can be done locally. A common one is trying to snoop on your computer's direct communication, which can be done if you are using a public wifi (like at Starbucks).

Do you need to protect yourself: A definite maybe

In the above section I went over various threats. But at the end of the day, how worried should you be? The answer is very situational. In general you shouldn't be heavily concerned with marketers, or the government. But hackers are a very real threat today, and sometimes it doesn't hurt to have some piece of mind. Here are some general situations I think you should consider using Tor or another anonymity services:
  • Using public wifi - As I mentioned above, there is a constant battle to keep your online browsing secure. At home these are generally sufficient, but in public places it's very hard to make sure your information is safe. I would recommend taking extra security precautions when on a public connection.
  • When staying in a hotel - Just like using public wifi, connections in hotels are also vulnerable.
  • When traveling abroad - If you are unsure of the customs where you are, you may not be aware that some material is considered banned. In that scenario, it doesn't hurt to be safe. One of Tor's original goals was to help people behind government firewall acess foreign content, and continues to be active on that front. Of course, we definitely do not recommend pressing your luck.
  • You like your privacy - The extra steps you can take using Tor Browser are fairly easy, but do add a small inconvenience starting the browser. That said, it's not a bad policy in general to always be protective of your privacy and can easily be worth the trade-off.

How do I use Tor?

The easiest way to use Tor is via the Tor Browser. We offer it for download (this link is the same as the download box above and below). Alternatively, you can visit the Tor Project page directly here
Tor Browser
Avg. User's Rating: 5.0
After installing the Tor Project, simply run the browser and it will automatically connect to the Tor network (can take up to 30 seconds). Please keep in mind this will only cover websites visited in the browser Window. If you are looking for a more complete solution, that will include things like instant messaging and other local programs, I recommend you look into the main Tor project here.
I hope this was informative, and you feel a little more comfortable online (or at least understand how to move towards feeling more comfortable online). Remember, Tor Browser is it no way a complete solution by itself, and that you should always respect local laws. But, it is a way to help wrestle back some control over your personal information!

6 Indispensable Small Business Apps

You’ve got a business to run. Time is a commodity you cannot afford to waste. You want tools that don’t just have the cool factor but are actually going to become an indispensable part of your daily work flow. So here are six apps that have more than just a pretty interface. They will make your necessary but time-sucking tasks simple and streamlined-giving you the flexibility to build your business into the global force you have envisioned it to be! 

Shopify 
You don't need to have any technical or design experience to easily create a beautiful online store. And with Shopify you can set up an uber simple and sleek ecommerce presence.

Simply choose a stylish website design, easily customize your online store, add products, and you're pretty much ready to accept payments. 
Whether you already have products, are looking to sell digital goods or are interested in drop shipping — Shopify has a complete solution for you.

FormMobi 
Does the thought of filling out forms and entering daily data make you want to openly weep? With FormMobi, you can create and deploy custom forms from your smartphone.

The app makes the process of data coordination amongst your team more efficient and nearly fool-proof.

Users are able to log into a form’s base to create forms by dragging and dropping data elements such as billing addresses, dates, costs, and names into a form building area. Users can save the data to a cloud where it can be picked up by other members of their team when they log in via their Apple or Android devices.

IFTTT 
This rather awesome free app is an indispensable addition to your business tool belt. The “If This Then That” set up lets you create actions to be taken if a certain event happens. Want to keep an eye on your competitors in the next town over? Set an IFTTT recipe to email you a digest of their blog posts, which you can review while you're getting ready for bed each night. We explored this app in great detail here: here 
Audio Memo 
Audio Memos is a voice recorder for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. It almost seems too simple given the clean interface / But its ease of use is the reason you will find yourself using it all the time. It has many features including voice-activated recording, slider, quality control, volume meter, volume boost, volume normalizing that will add to its shareability with your team. 

Audio Memos has been recognised as "The Best Voice Recording App for iPhone" by Life Hacker. And AppAdvice says “Audio Memos is just loaded with tons of amazing features that are implemented in an easy and natural way... a great full featured audio recorder".

Remember The Milk 
In the top heavy to do list sector of apps, Remember the Milk continues to stand out not least because the cross-platform app is handy for divvying up to-do lists between different groups in remote locations.

Its incredible simplicity makes for easy navigation and it’s support of natural language input ( as opposed to clicking a bunch of boxes o drop-downs) allows you to make lists as you would the old-fashioned way: on the back of a grocery store receipt. 

Remember the Milk has a free option and a pro account, so you can go either way. 

Square Register 
So you want to accept payments on the fly? Square Register accepts credit cards and you pay just 2.75% per swipe. You can also access your funds in 1-2 business days with no monthly fees, commitments, or surprises. Another nifty feature is that you can track payment activity, update your register, and find out what’s selling and what isn’t with simple charts. And an option that I think is super is that you can send receipts to your customers via text message or email!

Despite Apparent Layoffs, Revel Systems is Excelling in the Marketplace - 2014 Company Analysis

Despite Apparent Layoffs, Revel Systems is Excelling in the Marketplace - 2014 Company Analysis
Significance of Revel System:
Revel system, which produces apple based software, has proved to be a highly profitable venture. It has acquired a dominant share in food retail industry and proved value-for-money POS software. There are of a number of features of Revel software that has made it attractive to the owners of small and medium sized business. Such features include low operation and maintenance cost and an open API that allows a high level of integration with both the customers and the vendors. Security features provided by the Revel also adds up in its competitive advantage which is also somewhat inimitable, hence adding up to its distinctive (and core) competencies. A major advantage that the Revel system brings with it is the promise to lower down the need of staff through high level of integration and smart performance. Within a very short time of its launch, retail industry has seen a major fall in the number of people employed in the overall industry.

Amazingly, the reduction in workers cost is not at the expense of quality of the manufacturing, sales and customer services. In fact customers now feel more satisfied than they were before the revolution of Revel system. Revel mainly capitalizes on the user friendly environment of iPad and iPhone IOS and also takes advantage of web based database system. The use of cloud technology and ability to integrate with third party enhancement and financial suites has made Revel a must have product.
Increasing labor cost: 
The impact of cost push inflation has made employers to raise the wages of employees in order to satisfy their demand to raise the wages. The demand is also justifiable owing to the fact of ever increasing prices of commodities. The impact of rising labor cost gets transferred to the product cost and the best strategy adopted by entrepreneurs in reducing product is to reduce the labor cost by downsizing
(also called rightsizing where there is an excessive headcount) and by improving per hour production. Purchase and implementation of Revel POS system has also proved to be one of the best strategy in reducing the annual labor cost. Revel makes the work of a majority of workers redundant and performs the same work with efficiency and in a very short span of time.
Rightsizing at Revel:
The example of rightsizing at Revel which resulted in optimum staff cost is one of the best known strategy in technology industry. Revel spent $1.2 million in improving global customer services and automated the major part of its customer service department. The aforesaid investment relieves it from a few workers who were engaged in customer services and online sales. Revel also teamed up with various payment management intermediaries like paypal, levelup merchant e-solutions and worldpay to name a few. This further helped in rightsizing its accounts and payment section.
Moreover, Revel went one step ahead of its competitors by introducing the photograph identity feature in its POS system which helped it get relieve of additional staff in Information security department. 
Affiliation with cloud service providers further helped Revel in becoming lean and free of unrequired liabilities on its balance sheet. By outsourcing its need of storing massive data to professional cloud service providers, it disinvested a huge amount from the setup and maintenance of servers and also saved a huge amount of labor cost which was required to maintain the servers and associated infrastructure. Despite reduction is staff, Revel is growing (as evident from the financial highlights for the year 2014) mainly because it is capitalizing on emerging technologies and creating win-win situations by adjusting these technologies in its business model.

BulletSafe

Hello, 

I'm Tom and in August I launched a new bulletproof vest company called BulletSafe. We make a great bulletproof vest and the price is super-duper low. It's $299 where other vests are $850-$1,100. We target security guards, doomsday preppers, and people who have dangerous jobs. Our customers have much less money, and are happy with our straightforward approach and great price. 

We would like you to blog about our product. Here are some things you could talk about. 

Here is a link to our first press release about the BulletSafe Bulletproof Vest. (Great product, unbelievable price):
http://www.bulletsafe.com/iiia-vest-299.html

Here are our other press releases:

Here is our Youtube channel:

I think this is the most interesting video on there: "What Does It Feel Like To Be Shot While Wearing A Bulletproof Vest"

And our Facebook Page:
https://www.facebook.com/Bulletsafe

Did you know that you can buy a bulletproof vest for $299?
A new company plans to be the Model T Ford of bullet proof vests. BulletSafe is the company and their vest is changing the landscape for body armor manufacturers. BulletSafe makes a single style of vests that offers protection from bullets up to a .44 Magnum. If you don't know what that is, a .44 Magnum is one of the world's most powerful handguns. This vest offers serious protection, comes in five sizes and is available to more people than any bulletproof vest before.
How did they get the price so low?
 Their cost efficiencies come in a number of areas. First, they don't custom-size the vest. Instead it is availabe in five sizes, just like other types of clothing. "Our vest has large areas of velcro so that people of all sizes and shapes can get a great fit" said company President Tom Nardone. They also only make one style of vest. It is a semi-concealable design that is also capable of carrying armor plating. Finally, the vest is only available in one color. Just like the Model T Ford you can have any color you want as long as it is black. 
Another area where they expect to see cost saving
