An Enviable Post Office in Ghana
|
|
This is music made by four postal workers as they cancel postage! When I listen carefully, I think I can actually hear the spring mechanisms as the stamps hit the ink. I love it as an example of music turning what is normally seen as a boring, repetitive task into something this joyful. The song was originally recorded in 1975 at the University of Ghana by James Koetting and appeared on a cd accompanying the book Worlds of Music, but you can download the whole clip here. Thanks to Bernie Krause and Anthropologist Steven Feld for helping me track this one down

Debt Quotes: an overview
|
You can find many companies that can help you to settle off your debt, which is one of the main reasons for the people; who choose to evaluate their debts & wanted to consolidate. But it is hard to tell which companies will do a good job & which is not. Not all debt settlement service provider companies will provide you a better interest rate along with a good debt settlement program. There are only a few companies which will provide you that kind of service. You will get a better chance to choose the company for settlement of your debt by getting debt quotes that is perfectly suites your needs.
Requesting debt quotes online :
People had to do a lot of work for getting a quote in old days. If anyone wanted information regarding a debt settlement plan, they had to make calls to the company’s help desk & ask for debt quotes. This would only take a lot of valuable time & resources. But at present, the scenario has been changed a lot. At present, you can get instant quotes from all available debt settlement companies by using internet. This way, you can compare the quotes given by each & every company, all aspects side by side. You will get the clear idea which company is actually giving you the best deal by saving the most money. It is natural that the each consolidator will offer you the best option to get your business by researching prices & providing debt quotes in a organized manner through online.
Process of getting a proper quote:
The consolidator will give you offer to settle your possible unsecured & secured debt, by paying off with one monthly payment which you can afford. The interest rates of each debt quotes will vary from one consolidator to other. By choosing the right consolidator you can reduce your total debt by at least 50%. To avoid paying too much money against your debt, compile a list of at least three or four consolidator agencies before making the final decision. Do not provide any personal info except your monthly payment amounts, total balance & desired interest rates. The best consolidator will give you the total view of the rates and terms. After getting all of your debt quotes, take your time to judge & select the perfect quote & the company who offered it. Last but not the least, before contacting the company, always verify the present status of that company with your state's Attorney General.

How to Tame Your To-Do List
|
Do you use a to-do list? Most of us have some kind of running list of tasks which we want to get done (even if we keep this list in our heads). And I expect that at some point, like me, you'll have had the experience of creating an extremely ambitious to-do list

Rangaswami on sharing and privacy
|
If you have a couple minutes, this post by JP Rangaswami makes provocative points about sharing and privacy. These are issues, and values, that are undergoing a metamorphosis in the networked age. The conclusions we come to will affect not just businesses like Facebook or Google, but also the lives we lead.
Every time we share a secret, we carry out a quiet risk/reward calculation. We take into account the discretion of the people we're communicating with and the people they might blab to, and we project the pay-off from having them in the know. Sometimes the pay-off is the unburdening of something we've been holding in. Other times, it's the naughty pleasure that comes from trafficking in inside dope. And then there are the secrets told strategically in the hopes of receiving one in return. Sharing secrets is a step toward establishing deeper ties.
So what happens when we share our secrets with the whole world? That's what Rangaswami grapples with. In one section, he contrasts two types of relationships, contracts and covenants.
In a contract relationship, it

Web Site Navigation Menu Placement
|
 I was asked in an email recently what my feelings were regarding the placement of a navigation menu on a web site. The person asking wanted to know the latest scoop on the advantages or disadvantages of various menu placements. Is a right-hand vertical menu better somehow than a left-hand vertical menu? How about a horizontal navigation menu at the top of the page? Over the years I've made them all at one time or another, though lately most have been vertical right-hand menus. I responded with all I knew about the subject, then admitted the info may be dated. Here's basically what I offered:

An Essential Marketing Principle: Give Before You Try to Get
|
|
Experts have talked about this before. How many times have you read about the importance of ‘adding value’ for your audience? How many times have you read about ‘building trust’ with your readers/prospects?
Many, many times. You know it well. Every marketing guru has spoken about this topic. I’m sick of hearing it. But it STILL bears repeating.
Because some people still don’t get it.
