<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://asiaattila.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/little-dorritt.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-1383" alt="Little Dorritt" src="http://asiaattila.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/little-dorritt.jpg?w=538&#038;h=290" width="538" height="290" /></a>I love movies.  I also love people.  And there is something magically refreshing about being around people who make me laugh.  So imagine my delight when I am able to be around people who make me laugh while watching a movie.  The experience is on par with that of the first day when the semester is over: freedom and joy.</p>
<p>Last night I had the complete pleasure of spending time with some old friends and a new friend.  The old friends are a family that I have known for many years. One of these people is Anna from <a title="Here's To Us" href="http://asiaattila.wordpress.com/2012/11/02/heres-to-us/">Here&#8217;s To Us</a>.  The rest, were her family members, including her parents and her younger brother, Evan&#8212; who, at one point, answered the door for the pizza delivery-man dressed as the 11th Dr. Who, holding a windchime.</p>
<p>It was perfection to watch.</p>
<p>The new friend is a close friend of theirs.  Have you ever met someone and wondered how much of life you have missed out on just from not knowing them?  That is how it is with this young lady. I told her last night that she was &#8220;sugar in human form&#8221;.  Unbelievably sweet with a laugh and a sense of humor that left me almost in tears from not breathing.  Her name is Hope&#8212; and I am so very glad that I am now getting the chance to know her.</p>
<p>It is beautiful for friends to sit and talk together.  It&#8217;s beautiful for friends to watch a movie together&#8230;it&#8217;s even better when you get a group of people together who are willing to talk about and watch said movie at the same time.  (It&#8217;s so relieving to know that I&#8217;m not the only one who enjoys exclaiming, laughing too loud, and making fun of characters as the movie progresses.  Most people just give me dirty looks.)</p>
<p>We began watching the BBC Drama and Dickens&#8217; masterpiece of <em>Little Dorrit. </em></p>
<p>Let me tell you one thing&#8230; You know that you are among friends and people you can trust when at one moment of complete distress in film-watching <em>(&#8220;Here lies John&#8230;&#8221;&#8230;</em> for those of you who know the film) you find that yourself, the person next to you, and the person next to them are all holding hands; yet do not realize this until a good several minutes after the scene is over.  Maybe I was the only one who didn&#8217;t think it was awkward.   <em> </em></p>
<p>All of this to say,<em> it is good for people to be together</em>.  Life can be very hectic and very crazy, but it is always good to find people to love.  Good friends revive our spirits, cheer us up(most of the time), and give us a reason to smile when, for a while, we may have been having trouble finding one.</p>
<p>Hope, I am beyond honored to know you and your bright and lovely personality.  Anna, you always make my day with your smile and your quick wit.  Evan is wonderfully Evan&#8230; nothing more need be said.</p>
<p>To good friends and good films.  And to both at the same time.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Car or Van?]]></title>

<description><![CDATA[Clients often have the impression that owning a Company Car is beneficial from a Tax point of view.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Clients often have the impression that owning a Company Car is beneficial from a Tax point of view. This may have been the case 10 years ago but now days it is very expensive. In my opinion it is only worthwhile if the Director/Employee has a very low emissions car and does a considerable amount of private mileage. Remember you will pay tax at a percentage of the list price of the car and a standard private fuel amount give by HMRC. The percentage is based on C02 emissions and can reach 35% plus. The private fuel rate on a company car is currently <a href="http://mitchthetaxman.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/van.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-685" alt="van" src="http://mitchthetaxman.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/van.jpg?w=192&#038;h=108" width="192" height="108" /></a>set at £21,100 for the tax year 2013/14!</p>
<p>However the taxable van fuel benefit is very very cheap &#8211; only £564. The tax advantages of owning a company van rather than a car include:</p>
<p>1. A considerable lower personal taxable benefit in kind on the Director/employee</p>
<p>2. A considerably lower taxable fuel benefit. £563 rather than £21,100</p>
<p>3. Far less Class 1A National Insurance Contributions</p>
<p>4. You can recover the VAT with a van and not on a car</p>
<p>5. An amazing 100% Capital Allowance compared to only 8% on a gas guzzler</p>
<p>6. Road tax and other small advantages</p>
<p>You probably are reading this and thinking, great but I don’t want to drive around in a van. However you will be surprised as to what actually qualifies as a van. For instances certain versions of a Land Rover Freelander qualifies &#8216;technically&#8217; as a van.</p>
<p>If you are a Company Director feel free to get in touch to discuss your options.</p>
<p>I hope you have found this useful and remember, when you think Tax&#8230;.. Think Mitch the Tax Man</p>

<description><![CDATA[Now I will give 8 Namas (names) of Yama, the Lord of death: Dharmaraajam Namamyaham Samanam Namamyah]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Now I will give 8 Namas (names) of Yama, the Lord of death:</h3>
<p><b>Dharmaraajam Namamyaham</b></p>
<p><b>Samanam Namamyaham</b></p>
<p><b>Krudhantham Namamyaham</b></p>
<p><b>Dhanda-dharam Namamyaham</b><b> </b><b>(the one who gives punishment)</b><b></b></p>
<p><b>Kaalam Namamyaham</b></p>
<p><b>Yamam Namamyaham </b></p>
<p><b>Punyamitram Namamyaham</b></p>
<p><b>Easam Namamyaham </b></p>
<h3>The benefits of chanting the Mantra are:</h3>
<ol>
<li>If you chant these daily, fear of death will not be there.</li>
<li>The additional benefit is that, there won’t be any fire accident. Even if there is fire, no one will die. Everyone will be safe and alive.</li>
<li>This can be told to Children and for those who tell a lot of lies. For those who are getting spoilt in bad company.  We can chant this for them. They will be brought back to good books. This mantra will help and be useful &#8211; not to fall into bad company and not to do bad deeds.</li>
</ol>
<h3>What does Kaalam mean?</h3>
<p>Kaalam means time.</p>
<p>When time comes, he (Dharmaraja/Time) will give the end. He will not wait for anyone. Time and tide waits for none.</p>
<p>So, if we keep prostrating to him, then he will wait <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>WASHINGTON (CBS DC) &#8211;</strong> A new study finds that company CEOs have poor people management and have difficulty engaging their board and co-workers in even the most basic ways.</p>
<p>The study was conducted as a joint project between Stanford University’s Center for Leadership Development and Research, graduate business school, Rock Center for Corporate Governance and the Miles consulting group in New York. The study showed that chief executive officers and their boards are far too focused on their company’s financial bottom line, and not on the people.</p>
<p>The survey asked company boards and CEOs about the weighting they give to various aspects of CEO performance. The most important thing, rated at 41 percent, was “accounting, operating or stock price performance.”</p>
<p>The premium given to personnel’s performance was incredibly low, with “succession planning” getting just a 5 percent rating and “workplace safety” receiving just 2 percent.</p>
<p>When boards were asked about their respective CEOs’ greatest strengths, 70 percent rated “decision-making skills” at the top. At the bottom, 27 percent said “compassion/empathy,” 23 percent said “mentoring skills/developing internal talent” and only 23 percent reported “listening skills.”</p>
<p>The vast majority of directors (83 percent) and boards (64 percent) agreed that the CEO evaluation process should rely on a balanced approach between financial performance and non-financial measurements.</p>
<p>“Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that the CEO evaluation process is not that balanced,” said Stanford’s David Larcker, co-director of the Center for Leadership Development in a statement <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2013/05/23/ceos-are-terrible-at-management-study-finds/" target="_blank">to Forbes</a>. “Amid growing calls for integrating reporting and corporate social responsibility, companies are still behind the times when it comes to developing reliable and valid measures of non-financial performance metrics.”</p>
<p>Other results from the study found that only 41 percent of directors say their CEO is in the top 20 percent of their peers and 17 percent reported that their CEO is below the 60th percentile ranking. Also, a significant minority (10 percent), say they have never evaluated their CEO.</p>

<description><![CDATA[In my career I have performed many Security audits/assessments and the one thing that seems to hold]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my career I have performed many Security audits/assessments and the one thing that seems to hold true, with a few exceptions, is that most companies neglect to develop good policies or practices for handling their Information assets.  For the vast majority of the companies out there, the value of the Information held or produced by any company is second only to the value of their employees.</p>
<p>Every company should have an Information Security Policy that is clear, enforced, and has support from the Executive level.</p>
<p>The specifics of a policy is determined by conducting a thorough risk analysis with the participation of all segments of the business.  It is very important to note that I never said IT or Network Security Policy, if those are desired they exist separately,  in harmony with an overall Information Security Policy.</p>
<p>A clearly written and management supported Information Security Policy is critical to being able to successfully write, implement, and assess compliance of the Standards and Procedures that help set standard operating procedures.  It is critical in being able to develop consistent, repeatable, and secure methods of handling all types of Information, be it physical or electronic.</p>
<p>Some have argued that such policies will &#8216;slow them down&#8217;, inhibit creativity,  or bring process inefficiencies.  I will only agree that poorly written policies will result in chaos, inefficiency, and insecure practices.  Studies have shown that well written policies, standards, and procedures result in not only a higher level of security for your business, but an increase in efficiency that can only result in lowering the cost of doing business.</p>
<p>Below I have included a basic ISO 27k compliant Information Security Policy as an example.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never really appreciated the existence of the radio until this evening when rain was pour]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve never really appreciated the existence of the radio until this evening when rain was pouring so hard and I was stuck in the car outside a grocery outlet windowpane-writing the time my uncle was out purchasing an electric fan (can you buy electric fans at grocery outlets? well, apparently, yep) for my grandfather.</p>
<p><em>Woops, that was quite a lengthy sentence; I really hope no English teacher of mine can read this. </em></p>
<p>So anyway, I was all alone in the backseat except for the gratifying company of a dying phone, a pillow, and a cellophane containing an unopened nasogastric tube. The only sounds I could hear were the continuous roars of thunder and pouring rain, faint traffic noise from the highway, and a chattering car stereo.</p>
<p>I was especially thankful for the car stereo. All my life I&#8217;ve never paid much fascination for this electronic device. Back then I thought they were boring a-tad-less-awesome-than-television unnecessar<em>ies. </em>But that instance, in the car, when I had no one to talk to and when the evening looked as if it couldn&#8217;t be any duller, it blurted out a song which turned the boring atmosphere into a pleasant, cozy sing-along. </p>
<p><i>&#8220;Raindrops keep fallin&#8217; on my head, <br />But that doesn&#8217;t mean my eyes will soon be turnin&#8217; red. <br />Cryin&#8217;s not for me, <br />&#8216;Cause I&#8217;m never gonna stop the rain by complainin&#8217; <br />Because I&#8217;m free. <br />Nothin&#8217;s worryin&#8217; me. . . Ladadada. . .&#8221;</p>
<p></i>Then and there I couldn&#8217;t help but thank the Lord for radios (car stereos, whatever). </p>

<description><![CDATA[In my time in sales I have had a chance to work with a lot of sales people and sales styles. I]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my time in sales I have had a chance to work with a lot of sales people and sales styles. I&#8217;ve worked with the fearless leader who will go on a rampage to be heard, the socialite that is more excited about drink after work than getting work done, and everyone&#8217;s favorite &#8211; the lazy stoner who got too high before work to be able to help the customers without being extremely paranoid and fumbling around. As many personality types as I&#8217;ve seen in business, there is one that I have this unexplained magnetic draw to &#8211; Mr. Top Sales. This is the guy who gets the daily customer reviews, the customers ask for daily, they get the top sales and everyone loves them. I have studied Mr. Top Sales (who, by the way, comes in many forms). I&#8217;ve watched this person&#8217;s sales tactics, techniques, speaking style&#8230; here is the breakdown to the unspoken &#8220;it&#8221; factor as I&#8217;ve come to see it:</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<ul>
<li>This is not the guy who sits in the background. He is front and center in the store. You have a question, he has an answer. You walk through the door and he&#8217;s waiting on the other side with a smile and a warm greeting. Everyone knows he is there and he makes sure of it.</li>
<li>He never lacks confidence. If you want to make sales, confidence is the KEY to success. Mr. Top Sales knows his product. He has an answer before you have a question, and when you ask that question, he is prepared with full confidence to set you straight. He never &#8220;ummmm&#8221;s or &#8220;hmmmm&#8221;s, he responds quickly and confidently, because he knows he is right.</li>
<li>He is a forward-thinker. He learns all new product, researches his competitors, and finds solutions to problems before he is asked. He does not want to lose a sale due to poor communication or organization so he stays on top of it before there is a problem. He is not stuck on closing this sale, but he is ready to close the next one.</li>
<li>He is a quick responder. A customer walks through the door, and he will run you over to greet them. He doesn&#8217;t take time to hang out with the customers to learn about their personal lives, he gets the information and closes the sale. 60 seconds or less, and the customer has said &#8220;I&#8217;ll take that one&#8221;.</li>
<li>He asks open-ended questions. He doesn&#8217;t ask the customer IF he can help them (no, you can&#8217;t). He asks HOW he can help. How can you say no to that? And, when the customers find a way to say no, he follows up a minute later to check on them, again.</li>
<li>He is compassionate and charismatic. Charisma is the hard part of sales. This is the part that makes the customer say &#8220;WOW!&#8221;. He may not stop to talk about your recent surgery and the difficult times in your life, but he sure makes you feel important. He listens, smiles, and treats you like a friend. Every customer is his best friend, and stays his best friend every time they walk back in (even if he doesn&#8217;t remember them.)</li>
</ul>
<p>Sales is a cut throat world, and only the best will survive. Mr. Top Sales doesn&#8217;t mind this &#8211; he knows he is not going anywhere. He is going to stand strong and steady closing every sale as he moves up and out in the world. He continues to have a positive attitude and doesn&#8217;t give up. Mr. Top Sales is the guy to be, no matter what your business.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Financial troubles can cause http://lawsuitloansamerica.com/ all sorts of physical and psychological]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Financial troubles can cause  <a href="http://lawsuitloansamerica.com/car-accidents/">http://lawsuitloansamerica.com/</a> all sorts of physical and psychological problems. Everything from your ability to afford healthy  <a href="http://lawsuitloansamerica.com/">settlement funding</a> food&#8211;or any food at all&#8211;to your social life is impacted by financial problems. This article provides some tips on how you can improve your financial situation.</p>
<p>The key to total happiness and success is money management. Protect your profits and invest your capital. Allocating profits into capital to build a larger foundation for growth is acceptable, however, managing those profits wisely allows you to see return from your investments. Set a rule for what profits you keep and what profits go into capital.</p>
<p>Never sell when you aren&#8217;t ready. If your stock is performing well, hold off on making any moves. You could look at the stocks that you own and determine which ones are not giving you profits and sell them if necessary.</p>
<p>Whenever you can, avoid debt. This will result in healthy personal finances. Almost everyone has a home mortgage or loans for educational purposes, but every effort should be made to eliminate dangerous credit card debt. If you do not borrow any money, you will not have to pay any interests or fees.</p>
<p>You can automatically have a set amount of money moved to your savings account via your checking account as often as you choose. This method forces you to set aside some every few weeks. It can also be useful for when you are trying to save enough money for a major event, such as a cruise or a wedding.</p>
<p>Rather than using a credit card that is close to being maxed out, use two or more credit cards. The interest of two different payments should be much lower than paying off a maxed out credit card. This can help   you build your score and not hurt it if you manage your credit lines the right way.</p>
<p>Holding a garage or yard sale can help one clear out some old items, as well as earning some extra cash. You can also include the whole neighborhood in the sale by offering to add their items on commission. Be creative in your garage sale thinking.</p>
<p>Many spend significant sums on a weekly basis thinking they will win the lottery, but it makes more sense to put that amount into savings instead. This guarantees you increased income over a period of time, instead of just throwing away your money.</p>
<p>Speaking with family who is well-versed or who works in the financial field may help one learn to manage your finances. If one doesn&#8217;t have any family members that can help, they can turn to a trusted friend for advice.</p>
<p>People who find themselves with stray one dollar bills in their pockets might consider putting that money to good use. Using the dollar bills and buying lottery tickets with them is a fun way to possibly have much more money than was spent on the tickets.</p>
<p>Cultivating your personal finance skills can help you be more confident and less stressed about your money. Having your finances in order will help reduce the amount of stress you are feeling  <img src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7314/8801781820_c3d098c39a.jpg" align="right" width="236" style="padding:10px;" /> and will allow you to pay attention to other aspects of your life which may be getting neglected.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whatever type of business that you’re in, using e-newsletters to promote your company across the marketplace to current and potential new customers can help your business become better known, which will in time, increase your sales.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Business_Feedback_Loop_PNG_version.png" target="_blank"><img class="zemanta-img-inserted" title="English: A business ideally is continually see..." alt="English: A business ideally is continually see..." src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Business_Feedback_Loop_PNG_version.png/300px-Business_Feedback_Loop_PNG_version.png" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">English: A business ideally is continually seeking feedback from customers: are the products helpful? are their needs being met? Constructive criticism helps marketers adjust offerings to meet customer needs. Source of diagram: here (see public domain declaration at top).

<p>For businesses that believe e-newsletters are only suitable for companies that rely heavily on an Internet business, they are missing a great opportunity. It’s just as important for engineering companies and manufacturing businesses to be up-to-date and live in the modern world as far as technology is concerned, as it is for a marketing, training or an artist’s gallery business.</p>
<p><strong>Spending your money wisely</strong></p>
<p>When any business looks at its marketing and advertising expenses, there’s always a fine balance between wanting to reach out to all of your potential customers and physically spending as little money as possible.<!--more--></p>
<p>You will probably wish your customers and competitors to know that you are a green and environmentally forward thinking company. Fortunately, promoting your business through a medium like e-newsletters is both low-cost and virtually harmless to the environment.</p>
<p>Whether you are promoting a particular <a title="Addington Engineers" href="http://www.addingtonengineers.co.u" target="_blank">special purpose machine</a> or other services to the manufacturing industry, instead of paying for expensive advertising and glossy brochures, consistent use of electronic newsletters can help promote your brand at the best price.</p>
<p>The use of e-newsletters should not be confused with spam marketing. By using highly efficient software, people will have to sign up for your newsletter which means you’ll only be sending it to people who wish to view it.</p>
<p>Online software will be able to show you who has looked at your marketing and just as importantly, who hasn’t, giving you the opportunity to use other marketing methods to bring your machines and services to the attention of other people.</p>
<p><strong>What’s in your e-newsletter?</strong></p>
<p>There are a number of important criteria that you must meet when you are sending out information that is educational to your current customers and to your potential customers.</p>
<p>They are;</p>
<ul>
<li>it must be interesting because you want people to consistently read your newsletter</li>
<li>your software must be up to the assignment</li>
<li>get straight to the point, but don’t try to sell too many of your machines and services within one newsletter</li>
<li>keep it relatively short; would you read an extremely lengthy newsletter from your competitors?</li>
<li>find ways to get your customers to interact with you. Make it easy for them to ask you questions.</li>
<li>show the value of your products and services, rather than listing physical products.</li>
<li>how will your products solve their problems?</li>
</ul>
<p>There are many areas of consistency that will help <a title="Wikipedia; what is a newsletter?" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsletter" target="_blank">ensure your newsletter is read</a> by your readers. If the branding looks consistent, your readers will understand what they’re about to read. Sending it out on the same day either every two weeks or every month will allow your readers to expect your email and you’ll be building a relationship with them.</p>
<p>When your business is able to regularly inform customers, both new and future ones, with information about your business in a friendly and efficient manner, sales are bound to increase.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://georgesdailyrant.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/shot_17_243.jpg" class="size-full" alt="The Novus Leisure Scandal" /></p>
<p>   After taking the time out to consider what looked like a great long-term career choice, once again I have come unstuck; only this time due to slander. Being the largest nightclub and venue operator in Central London and the West End, you would assume that what we have here is a company that care for their employees and are willing to give them a chance. Unfortunately for me that was just not the case.<br />
   In my opinion I was set up and destined for failure from day 1. The &#8216;Area Sales Manager&#8217; put me in the worst performing venue in the company (they own 52 venues). This means it was make or break for anybody in this position due to the lack of time and money available from the venue. According to the manager, they needed somebody who had worked for the company for a while who could &#8216;hit the ground running.&#8217; When he tried to fire me at the end of my first week, I questioned him and asked why he employed me in the first place considering he knew the circumstances and was on a tight schedule. What did he say? Nothing. He then attempted to serve notice on me there and then. Obviously I thought it was a joke so I said to him &#8216;well if you are going to pay me for my last week, I will come in and work it anyway and prove you wrong.&#8217; He accepted my offer.<br />
   So I returned on Monday morning and worked my butt off. I proved him wrong. I got my sales figures in and pulled in a large networking event which would have been repeat business; leaving him with no room to argue back and attempt to fire me again.<br />
It was only when he disappeared off to the US that things went Pete Tong. In comes Sav, a 19 year old amateur with no experience or business acumen whatsoever who was put in a Senior Position. Most of us nearly hit the roof when we found out as it was patronizing to say the least. Instead, what we were dealing with here was a matter of favoritism.<br />
   To cut a story short, I worked hard to ensure I brought the figures in whilst he was gone because I knew that if I didn&#8217;t, I would be at risk when he returned. I even completed his little mission of securing more than 5 corporate previews and gaining local businesses to team up with. I was the only person in our entire sales team who did this. He even congratulated me for it.<br />
   The next day I came in and he fired me on the spot without a reason. I asked him what his reason was and his response was &#8216;it&#8217;s not happening.&#8217; Not very informative is it? So I told him that was bad news on his behalf and I was going to go and demand a transfer because it was not my fault that they had put me in a low-performing venue. I told him that he didn&#8217;t have the right to fire me as he couldn&#8217;t even give me a valid reason considering I was performing better than some of the other staff in there.<br />
   Did I receive a call? No. I had to make the call myself only to find out that false allegations had been made against me. Apparently I took a &#8216;payment advance&#8217; which is a white lie. The one that made me laugh was that I had been drinking on the job and came in to work smelling of alcohol. This one made me chuckle considering I rarely drink. I quit drinking two years ago after I graduated from Uni.<br />
   So now I have a bad name in the company which is stopping me from getting a transfer. If you ask me, this PUNK set me up. And now this criminal is going to get away with it. Once an asshole, always an asshole. And thanks to his blatant ignorance and lack of empathy, I can&#8217;t afford to pay my rent or eat. I am officially starving because of what he did.</p>
<p>But the good news is, I believe in Karma. And this guy is going to get what is coming to him. You wait and see. Because I won&#8217;t stop until I make sure of it.</p>
