Life after Cass...the courage of Cassandra Jardine who died from cancer last month has been an inspiration to her family

He quotes the reply she emailed back. ?Please don?t come out with these ?it should have been me? thoughts. Too Motown. And too fatalistic. There is no logic, only biology.? Chubb smiles at Jardine?s characteristic lack of sentimentality ? and her sharpness. ?Pretty good for someone who has less than a week to live, isn?t it? She never lost it. She was right on the ball till the end.?

?Jardine died at 1.30am on May 29, aged 57, on her first night in the Trinity Hospice in Clapham. Later that day, readers of the Daily Telegraph, where she had been a feature writer for more than 20 years, began to post tributes online.

Chubb shows me two box files full of hand-written letters from colleagues and friends, and reads out a couple in a voice he finds hard to control. They talk of her immense good humour, of her ?impatience with nonsense? yet great appetite for fun; of her compassion? but never soppiness; and of her ability, simply, to get twice as much done as anyone else.

?She was very good at doing things efficiently,? says Chubb. ?She would knock up a meal for 15 friends while discussing a girlfriend?s problem, while entertaining a bored child, all at the same time and all in about three-quarters of an hour. And all without a trace of irritation. She was amazingly good-humoured, and that was true right the way through her illness.?

Chubb was back on stage at the Oxford Playhouse a night after Jardine died. Friends and relatives were at home for the children ? two boys and three girls,? aged between 13 and 22 ?and Chubb felt that Jardine would have wanted him ?just to get on with it?. The play, about the novelist Mary Shelley, has now reached the Tricycle Theatre in Kilburn: ?There was no reason not to carry on with it. I don?t find the work a burden, on the contrary it?s a release. I think it?s when it stops, when I?m at home on my own... that will be the most difficult time.??

Work was cathartic for Jardine too. In the two years after her diagnosis she raised money for cancer charities, wrote her usual columns and won an award for the lengthy pieces describing her illness. Those intensely personal features were an attempt to de-stigmatise lung cancer, as well as to exorcise her fears. Jardine had adenocarcinoma, a cancer of the lining of the lungs. The daughter of heavy smokers,? she was a light smoker herself in her youth but had given up for many years.

?She smoked perhaps five cigarettes a week as a young woman,? says Chubb. ?But lung cancer can affect people who have never smoked, of course, and Cass was always completely unashamed and upfront about her illness.?

Doctors think it likely that a mutated gene, found in two per cent of lung cancer sufferers, was responsible for her disease and that possibly the mutation was triggered by a bout of pneumonia contracted on a winter holiday to freezing Venice in the mid-1990s.

?She really tackled life full on, and when she had this cough, a small but persistent cough, we thought she was just run-down. She was often quite tired, and would go to bed at about 9.30pm, but get up at 6am or even earlier to get the kids and the house sorted out.?

When the diagnosis was finally given,? it was in front of an audience of students at King?s College Hospital. ?You go into this very small room and there?s an oncologist and then three or four students sitting in a row, because it?s a teaching hospital. Cass and I sat on the other side, and the screens with the scans on were above us. That?s how we were told this terrible news, that she had lung cancer and it was inoperable. In front of all these strangers.

?But she didn?t complain about that ? she was happy to have it all done in public. And then of course she would go home and write about it anyway.?

One of Jardine?s last pieces described her ?pure joy? at being given a new drug called Crizotinib, which was being trialled by a British doctor in the US. The treatment was successful, it seemed, at extending life in lung cancer patients with Jardine?s particular gene mutation. ?I am on a drug that has a positive effect,? she wrote. ?It has taken a while to absorb this small miracle but, four weeks on, I am more energetic. I can walk and work. I am back.?

That was in early April 2012 ? but the optimism did not last. ?The hope was that this drug would give her a good-quality couple of years, and in that time someone else might come up with another treatment that could prolong her life again,? says Chubb.

Cruelly, the drug did not work for her. Instead it gave her something called pneumonitis, a side-effect in one per cent of patients on the trial, and her breathing was badly affected. She was taken off it and by the beginning of May began suffering terrible headaches ? a sign, confirmed by a scan, that the cancer had spread to her brain.?

Before her illness, Jardine often wrote about family life ? about her children?s bumps and scrapes when they were little; about teenage etiquette; and about her large rambling home, which was often full of friends. The house was Jardine?s domain. She was confined to a wheelchair for the last six months of her life, but got up and down the steep stone steps outside and the winding staircase indoors on fold-up stairlifts, and only gradually retreated from the day-to-day running of it. One wonders how Chubb will cope on a practical level without her.

?It?s true, it was very much her set-up. I was proud to call myself a supporting player in this particular show,? he smiles. ?But over the two years of her illness she withdrew from it little by little, for obvious reasons. And we grew to know our roles. If you think of it as a stage production, the lead player gracefully made her final exit, but we are able to get on with the play without her.?

Friends have brought round meals, he says, but his 22-year-old son Oliver, who works for Camila Batmanghelidjh?s charity Kids Company, manages well in the kitchen and often cooks for them all. ?For someone who had lung cancer, Cass worked a remarkable amount in the last two years ? but she did say that they were also the happiest of her life because she spent so much more time at home and got to know the children so well at this particular stage of their lives.

?I?m definitely one of those people who spends far too long worrying about how life should be better,? continues Chubb. ?If only I?d got this part, or that job, I?d have a higher profile and we could have better holidays. That sort of thing. But Cass never worried about all that. I think she described being diagnosed with lung cancer as walking out of the garden of Eden ? she felt that life was as good as it could be, partly because she made it that way. She wasn?t someone who wasted time thinking the grass could be greener.?

Even at the very end there was little self-pity. As she lay in the hospice, Chubb massaged her feet and mopped her brow: ?I was doing all the little things I could think of to make her feel comfortable, and then I said: ?Is there anything else I can do for you, Cass??? He puts on the stilted, too-loud and too-cheery voice one might use to speak to a child ? or to someone who might be in terrible pain and unable to hear very well.???

?She shot back: ?I don?t care what you do, as long as you don?t do it in that terrible jolly hockey sticks voice!?. Which was extraordinary and quite typical. And that was the last thing she ever said to me. Of course we had difficulties, like any other family, but she was very content, I think, without being smug. And in a sense that?s what she?s given to us and to me especially. There?s no point worrying about the fact that I?m not playing Hamlet, because I never will and it doesn?t matter. There are far more important things in life, and we should enjoy what we?ve got right now.?

CCRC ? STAR Performing Arts Centre Singapore by Aedas - Typepad

Description by Aedas :

The STAR?Performing Arts Centre?at Vista Xchange, one north is located in?Singapore. The 54,000 sq.m. development comprises of cultural, civic & retail uses and when complete will provide a premier entertainment, lifestyle and retail experience for one-north and the wider Singapore community.

The design for the 24,000 sq.m. retail space responds to the challenging site topography as the zone spirals inwards addressing the major entry points and culminates in an open amphitheatre.

Above, a 40m high grand foyer creates a visual and spatial connection between the retail, civic and cultural zones. It also provides a canopy under which the public can experience outdoor entertainment and al-fresco dining while protected from the elements. The focus of the cultural zone is a 5,000 plus seat auditorium, which will be the largest venue of its kind in Singapore capable of staging amplified musicals, concerts and other large scale visual events.

The venue is supported with administration, artist and technical support, function spaces, foyers, concessions and circulation spaces making up the remainder of the 30,000 sq.m. cultural and civic program.

Governments of Canada and the United States to Strengthen Co-operation on Forest Health Issues

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 28, 2012) - Forest sector officials from Canada and the U.S. gathered over the past two days in Washington, at the first-ever summit on forest health, to advance scientific co-operation on shared challenges. Officials identified research areas in which collaboration and knowledge exchange could enable both countries to better protect the health and sustainability of the two nations' forests.

"This summit is an important first step toward the creation of a Canada-U.S. forest science agenda," said the Honourable Joe Oliver, Minister of Natural Resources Canada. "By identifying issues we can work on together, we aim to maximize the value of the critical work that scientists and researchers are doing on both sides of the border to ensure the health of our forests and forest sector."

Canada and the U.S. have a long and successful history of collaborating on resource-related issues. "The borders that separate the United States and Canada don't segregate threats to our natural resources," said U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "The countries share common environmental concerns. It is critical that we continue to collaborate and address current and future land management challenges as partners."

The mountain pine beetle is one such challenge. The beetle is a native insect that has seriously impacted forest stands across the western half of North America, resulting in the direct loss of tens of billions of dollars in environmental services and economic benefits.

Participants at the forest health summit agreed that the nature and scope of the issues faced today across the continent may go beyond the individual capacity of any single organization. Greater knowledge exchange and a complementary research agenda would help rally science and policy expertise within organizations from both countries.

New taxes on forgiven mortgage debt to hit owners

(MoneyWatch) Soon homeowners facing a short sale or foreclosure will have to pay federal income tax on any portion of the loan that is forgiven unless Congress intervenes.

The Mortgage Debt Relief Act Congress, passed in 2007, will expire at the end of the year. For the past five years, homeowners who conducted a short sale, are in foreclosure or restructured their mortgage and had part of the principal balance forgiven didn't have to pay any income tax on the forgiven debt.

But starting in 2013, homeowners who short sell their $150,000 home for $120,000 will have to pay taxes on the $30,000 worth of debt that was forgiven, because the federal government considers it income, even though homeowners never actually put any of this "phantom" income in their pockets.

Will short sales save the housing market?
Lawmakers push bill to help homeowners refinance
9 ways to get the mortgage of your dreams

The legislation was initially passed to help homeowners struggling to pay their mortgage when the housing market crisis first began. But the market is still far away from recovery and real estate agents and legislators alike have argued that homeowners are still struggling and need relief.

"Homeowners facing a short sale or foreclosure are already in financial distress and are most likely unable to pay additional taxes," said Moe Veissi, president of the National Association of Realtors, in an e-mail. "These individuals have suffered through an economically devastating short sale or foreclosure of their home, and in many instances are unable to pay additional taxes, which only adds to their overall burden."

NAR is lobbying Congress to extend the tax relief past the 2012 deadline. Several legislators have introduced bills in both the House and Senate that would extend the tax relief.

The senate bill introduced by Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow of Michigan would extend tax relief through 2013, while a House bill sponsored by Republican Representative Tom Reed of New York would extend the relief a year and another bill sponsored by Democratic Representative Charles Rangel, also of New York, would extend it two more years.

Though the three bills vary on how long they will continue the tax relief, they are all nearly identical in their goal to keep forgiven debt from a short sale, foreclosure or refinancing untaxed. All three bills have gone to committee. If the House and Senate are unable to come to an agreement, millions of homeowners could potentially wind up paying income tax on their mortgage deficiencies.

Get the Best Value From Your Pet Cat Insurance

You have probably already realised that having pet cat insurance is part of being a responsible cat owner.

But at the same time, you?re only too well aware that it?s an expense, especially if you have more than one cat. If money is tight, insurance is the most tempting expense to do without. After all, it?s only of any use if something goes wrong. And nothing is going to go wrong, is it?

Unfortunately, it?s not for nothing that cats have been called the most accident-prone of pets. Doing without pet cat insurance could prove a false economy and an expensive mistake. So rather than doing without, it?s much more sensible to make sure you get the most out of your pet cat insurance and that you avoid being faced with an emergency for which the insurance won?t pay out.

So here are some precautions you can take to make sure you get the most effect from your pet cat insurance.

1. Get your cat vaccinated. Your insurance won?t pay for this. But without being vaccinated your cat is vulnerable to some of the most unpleasant and painful diseases in existence, and the insurance may well not cover diseases that result from failure to vaccinate.

2. You should also have your cat neutered, which again the insurance won?t pay for. But unless you are a professional cat breeder there is no excuse for not having your cat neutered, whether it?s male or female. One good reason is that there are far too many kittens without homes. But apart from this, un-neutered males are much more likely to have accidents, and there are many diseases to which un-neutered males and females are more susceptible.

3. Have the cat micro-chipped. If you?ve had a cat before, you will know how much a cat likes to wander and explore, and how prone he is to get into scrapes. Some pet cat insurance policies actually insist on micro-chipping, so if you don?t have it done you won?t be covered for loss of your cat or if he has an accident through wandering off. Other poliicies give a discount if the cat is micro-chipped.

4. Take out your pet cat insurance as early in your cat?s life as possible. With most policies, the younger your cat is when you insure him, the lower your premiums will be. What?s more, the earlier you take out the policy, the less chance there is of your cat having a pre-existing condition, which of course won?t be covered.

5. Think carefully about whether you want a pedigree cat. There are lots of ?no particular breed? moggies wanting homes and these will give you as much pleasure and enjoyment as a posh puss, as well as being cheaper and easier to care for. Premiums are usually higher on pedigree cats, and they tend to be more prone to expensive medical conditions.

6. Before you purchase any policy, check it very carefully. Look at the small print with a magnifying glass to make sure there aren?t any exclusions which might affect you and your cat. Check too for excesses, age limits, and caps on payouts.

There is certainly no point in paying out more than you need to. But the answer is not to skimp on pet cat insurance. This could involve you in far more expense than you ever expected. There are all sorts of things you can do to make sure you get the best possible value from your insurance, and the best possible protection for your pet.

Internet Based Advertising Method To Earn Cash On The Web ...

Placing banner advertisements could be a highly efficient approach to market your enterprise on the Internet. Banner ads are basically commercials which seem on a web site, normally in the type of a combination of graphics and text, to encourage Internet users to click on by these advertisements to your website. The most common form of banner advertisements is an commercial which appears on the top of a website and spans the width of the webpage. These ads derived their title from the similarity to a banner however technically banner advertisements can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. This article will take a look at the effectiveness of banner as well as methods for putting these banner ads.

Banner ads might be extremely efficient if used properly. However, placing your banner ad all over the Web with little or no consideration as to whether or not the situation is likely to be beneficial to your enterprise is not a good idea and is usually a large waste of money as well as other sources corresponding to time and effort. Due to this fact enterprise owners who?re considering utilizing banner ads to advertise their business should spend some time to discover ways to use banner advertisements successfully and to find ideally suited location for putting their banner ads.

Probably the most ideally suited location for a banner ad is prominently displayed on an internet site which receives an excessive amount of web site site visitors and also complements your services and products nicely without offering direct competitors to your merchandise or services. For instance contemplate an enterprise proprietor who focuses on selling athletic shoes specifically for runners. Shopping for banner ad space on an internet site which presents recommendation on coaching for running events and offers information on upcoming races could be a wonderful idea. This website attracts guests who?ve an interest in working and are more likely to buy athletic footwear but doesn?t sell running shoes directly. This implies the website attracts members of your target market but doesn?t compete for your business.

Along with buying banner advert space, some enterprise owners decide to join banner ad exchange groups. This is another wherein the business owner does not pay for his or her banner advert to be placed on another web site but in trade they comply with submit a number of commercials on their very own website. It is a very inexpensive choice for putting banner adverts but it?s not at all times the best strategy. It is because the enterprise proprietor often has little enter into where their banner ad appears and has restricted input into the banner adverts which seem on his website in return. Generally, enterprise homeowners have the flexibility to say no to host advertisements which they deem to be offensive but can?t specifically select the banner ads they need to post.

Lastly, when posting banner ads, enterprise homeowners ought to be aware of the effectiveness of the ads they place. They could choose to submit totally different designs for their banner advert on completely different websites but they should monitor the outcomes of their advertising to find out if one type is simpler than another. This information could be very important. If one fashion is having fun with a substantial amount of success while the other style is not, the business proprietor could want to use the extra successful model for all of their banner ads or to redesign the less successful fashion to make it more interesting to Internet users.

Corporate Success / Goal Planning:

Everyone creates them, knowingly and unknowinglygoals. Some goals are lofty and well-thought-outsuch goals in business (get a raise by the end of the year), goals in relationships (be married by age 30), and goals in life (watch the Northern Lights in Alaska) are easy to quantify, to write down, to dream and to imagine. Other goals are implied and subconscious; such goals in business (commute to work without incident), goals in relationships (find someone to spend New Year's Eve with), and goals in life (leave this world a better place) may be harder to express.

Speedread.org knows that you are more than just the business person dressing for s uccess every morning. You are a complete person who does not spend every waking moment workingor if you do, you don't want to spend your life like that. Who you and what you do touches every single aspect of your lifeyour business life touches your social life; your social life touches your home life; your home life has a great impact on your spiritual life (whatever it may be); and your spiritual life determines how you perform in the business arena.

For us to consider ourselves successful in life, our goals must be achieved. Consciously or not, we determine our own successin small things (getting to work safely) and large things (being promoted to upper management)by meeting our stated or unstated goals. We also measure others' successes or failures against our own goals.

Because goal planning is mandatory for success, we have included many sections in our speed reading books. Our SpeedRead Complete Corporate course not only teaches how to read two t o threeor even moretimes faster than you can now, we also give you the tools to plan your goals to align with your purpose in life.

To determine your personal goals, you simply need to look at what success means to you in your career, lifestyle, home life, spiritually, in a word: in everything. In our SpeedRead Complete Corporate course, we spend quite a bit of time on goal planning and the keys to successnot just in increasing the number of words read in a certain time frame, but in life. Reading is essential to life in today's world, but if you simply learn to speed read without a goal as to how to use your new knowledge, you will lose it.

We know you are more than your business persona, and "success" in business may not necessarily mean success in life. At Speedread.org, we are determined to help you become not only a more successful business person, but a more successful human being.

Lifelong Effects of Speed Reading:rong>

How would you like to remember 90% of what you read from anythingthe newspaper, your favorite novel, business reports, your child's MySpace blog? How would you like to be able to read fastermaybe even four or five times fasterand still remember almost everything you read? How would you like this to happen in just one single hour?

Impossible? Not hardly! With Speedread.org's Speed Complete Speed Reading Program, hundreds of thousands of people have done just that!

But what can one do with the ability to read over 600 words per minute with a 90% retention rate?

The lifelong effects of speed reading are numerous.

First, you will finally be able to get to all those books on your list you have never had the time to read before. Suddenly, an hour's commute to work on public transportation won't mean simply a chapter or two it will mean an entire book checked off your list! You won't even get that sense of disappointme nt when you finish a book just to finish it. With the Complete Speed Reading Program, and the new ability to retain nearly everything you read, you'll be able to discuss the book in next month'sor even next year'sbook club!

If you are in a profession that requires a lot of reading and just as much retention such as scholars, physicians, writers, doctors, attorneys, and countless other fields, being able to read even twice as fast can end up saving hourseven up to days or weekson an intense project.

If you are a lifelong studentor just one who loves to learn and is always taking a course or two to help expand horizonsbeing able to read faster and comprehend more will, undoubtedly, be of a great boon to not only your ease of study, but also your GPA. Studies have also shown that the new way of reading taught to those who want to speed read may also assist the brain in learning a new language.

Speed reading also has lifelong physical effects a s well. The less time you spend reading, the less eye strain and eye and muscle fatigue you will experience.

Because the Complete Speed Reading Program literally re-teaches your brain how to read, you learn how to remember more at the same time. Simply being able to remember what you have read can be just what you need to set yourself apart from the pack vying for that next promotion.

Passing Along Your Knowledge:

Nothing is worse for an avid reader and a lover of books than having a child who hates to read. Parents today know that reading to a child early in life will help them foster a love of reading and prepare them to read themselves, but sometimes not even that can be enough to foster a love of the written word. Reading parents know that aversion to reading will haunt their child for the rest of his life, making school harder making life harder.

But, as any parent knows, you cannot simply say to a 10 -year-old who hates reading, "You're going to read and you're going to like it." You have to understand why reading is so difficult.

Reading, today, is taught in an inefficient manner. "Average" readers today (of any language) read anywhere from 100 words per minute (usually for memorization purposes) to 700 words per minute ("skimming", looking only for specific key words). Statistics also show that as the words per minute go up, the reading comprehension goes down, and this is borne out in school test scores. With the pressure on slower readers of having to finish the reading section and the comprehension questions within a set period of time, most finally turn to skimminglooking only at key words in the question. This "cheater" method is only reinforced when the test comes back with a good grade (since they were only looking for specific words).

What would you, as a parent, pay to not only teach your child a better, faster, and easier way of reading but also one that jumps their reading comprehension up to over 90%?

How about nothing! When you purchase Speedread.org's Complete Speed Reading Program, you have Speedread.org's permissioneven its blessingto pass the course on to your friends and family members who love to read and would like to read more or who are struggling to read and are on the fence about reading in general.

Imagine your child reading every word on the standardized test page in under ten seconds and remembering it! How would your child feel being the first done with the test instead of one of the last? Homework and studying time would be cut in half or more, giving all of you more family time.

Studies and anecdotal reports from previous customers of Speedread.org have shown that less than a month after beginning the Complete Speed Reading Program, students' grades have only raisedin some instances raising from a C average to an A in only 21 days!

Get More Accomplished in Less Time

What would you do if you found yourself with an extra hour a day at work? Would you get a jump on the next day's work? Would you use it to surf the Internet and just "put in your time" until it was time to go home? Or would you use that extra hour to ensure you would have an extra hour every day to make yourself invaluable to your employer?

Whether you are the receptionist or a CEO, chances are if you are part of today's corporate environment, you areat least at certain times during the yearrequired to do extensive reading for your job. Quarterly reports can range from two pages to two hundred, and that can take some time to readespecially when you are supposed to be keeping up on what the competitors are doing. If you were able to readand even more importantly recallthree quarterly reports in the time it took others to read just one, what would your job look like after four quarterly reports?

With the Complete Speed Reading Program, Corporate Edition, you will be reading at twice the speed you were before in just the first hour!

What would you do with an extra hour or two a day you never had before? Get more sleep? Spend time with your family? Take a class? Go out with friends? Finally do all those things you'd always said you wanted to do but never had timelike volunteering at a local charity?

Meizu MX 4-core and Flyme OS 1.0 formally announced, available on June 30th

Meizu MX 4core

Forget that "MX Quad-core" moniker, because Meizu's just formally introduced its first quad core Android phone as the "MX 4-core" in Hong Kong, an event jam-packed with balloons and local celebrities (we really should've brought our sunglasses). For those who care, this is the first time ever for Meizu to collaborate with a carrier -- that being Hong Kong's PCCW, who's offering the HK$3,099 (US$400) 32GB model for free on various tariffs, while details are light on the HK$4,099 (US$530) 64GB version. Once the stage cleared we had a chance to take a closer look at the international variant of the MX 4-core. Aside from the disappearance of the Chinese logo above the screen plus the duller logo on the back (but accompanied by an extra capacity label), the 4-inch HSPA+ phone looks identical to its dual-core sibling. Additionally, Hong Kong and mainland China customers who pre-order between now and the launch on June 30th will get to pick a colored back crystal shell for free, including ivory white, milky lime, lilac purple and misty pink to replace the original white.

Software-wise Flyme -- Meizu's heavily customized Ice Cream Sandwich -- is also very similar to its Gingerbread predecessor, except for its slicker responsiveness (especially the camera app) and the odd interface tweaks here and there. There are also a few new features that are worth a mention: on top of the new native stopwatch, countdown timer and multi-segmented timed task lists, there's Flyme Voicemail which is essentially a native recorder for incoming calls that you reject (think of it as a neat alternative to conventional visual voicemail), and there's Flyme Message which is Meizu's take on SIP services like Whatsapp and Line. We shall dig deeper in our full review, but for now, you can check out a quick hands-on video after the break. And for those who still possess Meizu's older Android phones, we were told to expect Flyme to be delivered over the air in early July (as opposed to the original June date), so keep an eye out for that little update icon.

Update: We mentioned in our video that the China version of the MX 4-core doesn't come with the Play Store, but it turns out that we were mistaken. Hooray!

Update 2: By the way, it's pronounced "fly-me."

Home based business Achievement -- Not only Earning money ...

From Multiverse

home business  

Be Part of the house Business Group

Are you considering starting your personal business from home? If that's the case, brace your self for a relaxing fact. Specialists estimate that more than nine from every ten home based businesses fail. You heard right, the failing rate is more than ninety percent!

If you wish to run a effective business online, you will need to do everything possible to join the little minority of people that actually succeed from operating their own home-based smaller businesses.

How can you do this? What sets apart those who cannot make it work from those who thrive? There are at least three factors that play a huge role in making someone part of the profitable minority. When you understand them, you'll understand what sets apart the home based winners from its losers.

"First, the home business winners are prepared to learn".

Instead of entering the marketplace with the mistaken idea that they "know it all", the success stories of the home business are humble and smart enough to realize that knowledge is business power. They'll do the homework. They'll perform the research. They'll make sure they learn everything they can from experts who know their way around the industry.

Second, profitable business owners are action-oriented. While they'll plan and research, they'll also follow up with actual implementation. One of the most common reasons for failure is that operators acquire information but fail to put it to use. Only those who are willing to take action and forge ahead defy the odds.

Third, those in the successful minority persevere. They don't give up in the face of a challenge and they don't allow themselves to surrender when they suffer a setback. The road from getting started to becoming wealthy isn't always smooth. It can be challenging at times and those with a tenacious streak are more likely to follow it to success than those who shrink in the face of difficulty.

That's what it takes to defy the numbers. You can put yourself in the profitable home business minority by combining a willingness to follow proven, smart guidance with a commitment to action and the ability to confront challenges head on.

If you're ready to do things the right way, there are huge financial and personal awards for successful home business operation.

If you're not, however, the odds are stacked high against your success. Remember that scary number?EURoover ninety percent of new businesses simply don't make it.

People can fall into the large group of small business flops due to variety of reasons. They may be under financed. The root idea of the business may be fatally flawed. The competition might eat them alive. That being said, the most common reasons why people fail to make their at-home businesses work are related to learning, working and persevering.

Japan's PM faces intraparty revolt over tax hike

(AP) ? A battle between rival blocs in Japan's ruling party escalated Monday ahead of a tax hike vote that is threatening to split the party and weaken Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's hold on power.

The legislation expected to come before Parliament on Tuesday includes a doubling of the current 5 percent sales tax. Noda says it is needed to fight Japan's swelling national debt, but the political maneuvering has overshadowed economic debate on the bill.

Media reports Monday said more than 50 ruling party lawmakers plan to vote against it. That would not be enough to kill the bill, because it also has opposition party backing.

But the reports also said dozens of lawmakers are considering leaving the ruling party altogether in protest. If 54 or more do so, Noda's party would lose its majority in Parliament's lower house and he would be vulnerable to a no-confidence vote.

Noda, who took office last September, has said he's ready to stake his career on the tax bill. Public opinion seems to be split between those who believe action must be taken to shore up the economy and those who are more concerned about how it will affect their own personal finances.

The revolt is being led by Ichiro Ozawa, Noda's biggest rival in the ruling Democratic Party. Opponents of the plan to double the sales tax over three years say that it will stall economic growth and reduce consumer demand.

Ozawa helped create the Democratic Party but has since fallen out with its leadership and been embroiled in allegations of corruption. He has threatened to bolt before, and his 1993 departure from the party that previously ruled the country helped set the stage for the Democrats to rise to power.

Both sides held talks Monday and jockeyed for an advantage as the vote in Parliament neared. Several newspapers reported Ozawa would fall short of the 54 mark. That would still be a major setback for Noda, who has struggled since taking office to deal with the economic impact of last year's devastating earthquake and tsunami.

Credit Debt Finance: Manage Your Way To Financial Peace


Bad credit debt management is a way out to consolidate your multiple debts in one single payable unit. Going for loans has become a common practice. This causes multiple debts on an individual. Situation becomes such adverse that many times the monthly installments to be paid even exceed the income of the person. As a consequence of these unpaid installments the credit history of the individual is deformed. This is a situation widely faced with tenants and students as they have to meet several extra charges along with the daily investments. Proper planning and budgeting is quite difficult for them due to time constrains. At these situations one must go for a bad credit debt management.

Bad credit debt management: facts and figures

Bad credit debt management is offered to all the needy UK residents. While going for bad credit debt management, you are not going for another loan but the debt management company takes a single fixed monthly payment which is paid to your existing loans. Here the plan is made in such a way that you are able to pay a reasonable amount to all the creditors whom you owe money. One big advantage incorporated with bad credit debt management plan is that the charges and interests are often frozen, so your debt doesn't increase. The duration of this plan depends on individual situation. It can vary from few months to few years. The charges offered for adopting plan are generally nil, but sometimes you may require to pay 15% to 17% of the monthly payment as a start up fee or monthly management fee. The amount you pay to your creditor depends upon your surplus income and how much you owe to the creditors. Bad credit debt management plan does not serve secured debt. Debts that can be incorporated in it are personal loans, credit cards, store cards, catalogues, and overdrafts.

Bad credit debt management: take care

Bad credit debt management is an absolute profitable decision. One should look for online websites as they offer many facilities like debt calculators, repayment tools etc which help in self evaluation. The only disadvantage here is that debt management plan isn't legally binding, so the creditors might take legal action against you. But this situation can easily be dealt with.

Treating vitamin D deficiency may improve depression

ScienceDaily (June 25, 2012) ? Women with moderate to severe depression had substantial improvement in their symptoms of depression after they received treatment for their vitamin D deficiency, a new study finds.

The case report series was presented June 23 at The Endocrine Society's 94th Annual Meeting in Houston.

Because the women did not change their antidepressant medications or other environmental factors that relate to depression, the authors concluded that correction of the patients' underlying shortage of vitamin D might be responsible for the beneficial effect on depression.

"Vitamin D may have an as-yet-unproven effect on mood, and its deficiency may exacerbate depression," said Sonal Pathak, MD, an endocrinologist at Bayhealth Medical Center in Dover, Del. "If this association is confirmed, it may improve how we treat depression."

Pathak presented the research findings in three women, who ranged in age from 42 to 66. All had previously diagnosed major depressive disorder, also called clinical depression, and were receiving antidepressant therapy. The patients also were being treated for either Type 2 diabetes or an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).

Because the women had risk factors for vitamin D deficiency, such as low vitamin D intake and poor sun exposure, they each underwent a 25-hydroxyvitamin D blood test. For all three women, the test found low levels of vitamin D, ranging from 8.9 to 14.5 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), Pathak reported. Levels below 21 ng/mL are considered vitamin D deficiency, and normal vitamin D levels are above 30 ng/mL, according to The Endocrine Society.

Over eight to 12 weeks, oral vitamin D replacement therapy restored the women's vitamin D status to normal. Their levels after treatment ranged from 32 to 38 ng/mL according to the study abstract.

After treatment, all three women reported significant improvement in their depression, as found using the Beck Depression Inventory. This 21-item questionnaire scores the severity of sadness and other symptoms of depression. A score of 0 to 9 indicates minimal depression; 10 to 18, mild depression; 19 to 29, moderate depression; and 30 to 63, severe depression.

One woman's depression score improved from 32 before vitamin D therapy to 12, a change from severe to mild depression. Another woman's score fell from 26 to 8, indicating she now had minimal symptoms of depression. The third patient's score of 21 improved after vitamin D treatment to 16, also in the mild range.

Other studies have suggested that vitamin D has an effect on mood and depression, but there is a need for large, good-quality, randomized controlled clinical trials to prove whether there is a real causal relationship, Dr Pathak said.

"Screening at-risk depressed patients for vitamin D deficiency and treating it appropriately may be an easy and cost-effective adjunct to mainstream therapies for depression," she said.
