Discount vouchers are essentially codes that can be exchanged for a financial discount or a rebate for a product you may want to buy: and who couldn’t use a discount or two! There are loads of discount promotions to choose from, especially now with the internet right at everyone’s finger tips, you’ll find discount vouchers for almost everything - a quick search online is sure to bring what you’re looking for within a matter of seconds.

Generally speaking, vouchers are issued by retailers for all types of goods, as part of a sales promotion as adiscount to the consumer. Vouchers are often widely distributed through email, magazines, newspapers, and the internet.

Discount internet vouchers are very popular and have emerged into a new marketing avenue for many retailers, and are gaining popularity at a huge rate as more consumers use their home PC’s for many of their regular purchases.

Discount Voucher sites such as Discount Shopping UK often refer to discount vouchers as “coupon codes,” “promotional codes,” “promotion codes,” “discount codes,” “voucher codes,” “promo codes,” or “shopping codes” and are typically provided in order for the consumer to get a reduced cost or free delivery, a specific price or percentage discount, or other offer such as a freebie item to encourage them to purchase specific products or to purchase from specific retailers.

Basically if you’re going to buy anything online it’s a good idea to search discount site like this to see if there are any vouchers available for your next purchase;
You’d be foolish not to!

Every article that we read comprises some vital sentence which describes the gist of it, its major points and arguments. The same pertains to all academic projects. Whatever project you are assigned with-either it is a one-page descriptive paper or 100 pages dissertation, whatever the topic of the project may be, whatever the scope of the research- it should contain one or two sentences which provide the reader with the most important points of the contention of the writer.

This contention- the essence of your argument is your thesis statement. It is almost indispensable to provide your reader with the thesis statement, which should reveal your main arguments in several sentences (preferable in one or two) and offer the reader the main points of your essay. In order to produce a thesis statement one should always bear in mind what questions, should be researched and answered in your paper. Undoubtedly it is one of the most difficult tasks that students face. The questions that are asked in the research are extremely valuable in the designing of the thesis statement.Once you have listed several questions that should be answered, you should start distinguishing the most important questions from subordinate ones. Once your have singled out the most important questions, you can start using them as your thesis statement.

However, in many departments it is necessary to develop and state your thesis proposal. One shouldn’t confuse these two processes; remember that your thesis statement is used in your writing assignment, whereas your thesis proposal is mostly used in the drafting of your paper.

In writing of your thesis proposal one should reveal how this topic is important not only for your topic, but for the subject and even science in general. One should show the significance and importance of the problem, you have decided to research. In your thesis proposal, apart from purely theoretical part, there should be also some practical guide on how the date and information needed for the research can be collected. And one of the most important tasks of writing of the thesis proposal is to develop and improve of your proposal writing skills. Whatever your department is - either it is a law program or medicine school, engineering of economics, lucid, persuasive and convincing proposal writing skills are useful acquirements for your career.

Certainly it is not possible to reveal all methods and ways of completing of your thesis proposal and thesis writing within the scope of one article; here I have outlined just general purposes of these processes. That is why is imperative to use guides (there are plenty of them on the internet as well) before starting to develop your thesis statement or your thesis proposal.

How many times do we hear or read about some guy making millions upon millions of dollars to play a game and he is not actually playing? With the exception of football, this is due to the fact contracts are guaranteed in the other big sports. Football woke up to this sorry situation and the owners actually did something about it. Some criticize it due to the potential for a player to be cut and that’s that. Perhaps something can be done in the way of medical coverage for the players or a certain percentage of a contract going to the player in football.

On the other hand, we have the equivalent of “welfare cheats.” Guys who damage an arm or a leg in a sport like baseball and they get paid to hang out. It is almost amazing. The New York Yankees’ Carl Pavano is a perfect example. Pavano signed a big four-year, 40 million dollar deal to hang out, er, pitch for the Yankees. His first year was not a good one filled with injuries as well as this one so far. Although there is no doubt Pavano is trying to get back to help the team win, something is not quite right being paid the exact same money to NOT pitch as to pitch. Obviously, the team has to sign another player to take his place which puts a strain on the payroll and of course, eventually this cost will be passed along to the fans. In places like New York or Boston, the fans are so used to being hit in the wallet they are brain-dead to being hit again and again.

Many teams have guys with horrible contracts who’ve either bombed out after signing big deals or get hurt. Again, those costs are passed along to you. The Anaheim Angels had to pay pitcher Kevin Appier 16 million dollars to go away. Anyone remember the New York Mets paying Mo Vaughn something like 17 million dollars not to play? What about Houston’s Jeff Bagwell? I would feel better if he robbed a bank.

How about basketball with the Nets’ Jayson Williams getting paid after he was hurt and long done? Nevermind his trigger finger. We are talking outlandish amounts of money here. Not even one or two million dollars. More like 15 or 17 million dollars to go away or workout. Talk about madness.
On top of it, there is nothing funnier than seeing someone working a real job making something like $40,000 a year defending such guys and never quite connecting the fact costs are simply passed along to the lemmings in the stands. Comments like, “They should make what they can” or “If they were paying me that kind of money…” Well, virtually no person will ever come close to that kind of money and with that kind of attitude expect to pay more and more until your saliva is eventually taken from you, too.
We are not talking about people in a union fighting for dental insurance or calling for an extra $3,000 a year. No, we are talking about guys with 50, 60, 100 million dollar contracts who in no way can comprehend the origins of a union. They are about take, take, take. The fans are about give, give, give.

Perhaps a half-way measure should be looked at. If a player is hurt or cut then maybe a certain percentage of money should be paid out, not the whole darn thing. When do people get full-pay for no work? And these guys will not be on the breadline anytime soon; just some of the people going to see them play will.

Sports is a great thing. It helps us escape the realities of life. It helps us escape thoughts of stress, depression and death. But with the ludicrous salaries paid out to do a relatively unimportant thing in life and the fact the fan picks up the cost for this, priorities really need to be looked at. I miss the days when our sports stars were making a measly couple of million.

Shortly after I had completed my second season of bobsledding, I found myself back in Jamaica sitting in the officer’s tent as usual talking about bobsledding. On this occasion I was talking about the progress our team had made in the short time we were involved in the sport. One senior officer, expecting to get a good laugh at my expense, asked me to speak in more detail about the progress we had made. He wanted to hear about start times and race results and how they compared to the more established teams. I simply told him that we had made the transition from being media darlings to true competitors.

Undoubtedly, you’re thinking that that was a strange response to the question. You may remember, that back then the Jamaica Bobsled Team was not taken seriously and was seen as a media stunt and an amusing sideshow to the serious business of Olympic bobsledding. Thankfully, none of us on the team ever saw ourselves in that light.

How do you see yourself?

The vision we had of ourselves and the one that mattered most was decidedly different from what others had of us.

We saw ourselves as equals—athletes with the talent and the ability to become world-class bobsledders. We had a vision of ourselves marching in that opening ceremony and having an opportunity to give of our best against the best.

Today the Jamaican Bobsled Team is almost a household name all over the world and generally recognized within the sport as a veritable threat. That reality exists today primarily because of the vision we held in our minds all those years ago. Our team, like all the other athletes you see competing in the Olympics and every single person who have succeeded in life in areas outside of sports, didn’t allow anyone or anything to determine the limits of our success. The way you see yourself today will significantly impact your life tomorrow.

What is the vision you have for your life? In five, ten or even twenty years from now, what are some of the things you would like to have accomplished? What milestones would you like to reach? These are key questions for you to answer because you can never get to your destination unless you know what it is.

If you are someone who is unsure of what you want to do with your life it may be helpful to complete the following sentence: “All my life I’ve always wanted to…” It will not necessarily clearly define your vision but it will help to point you in the right direction. Vision is a preferred future state and truthfully answering this question will help you to start creating a mental template for what that future will look like. Lets say your response is “All my life I’ve always wanted to work with children” You then have to determine the capacity you see yourself working with children?

It could be as a teacher, a pediatrician, or a day care provider among other things. Whatever it is, the means of turning that vision into reality will not always be readily obvious but through persistence, it is ultimately achievable. Since I became aware of the Olympics in High School I have had a vision of being an Olympian but it required years of “searching” before I ended up as an Olympic bobsledder.

Practice the art of listening

It is through your vision that you determine your dreams and ultimately set your goals. How do you know what your dreams are? You know through the art of listening. Not listening to others but rather listening to yourself. Listening to others will result in you embracing the goals and dreams that they would impose on you. You will be accepting the limitation that they have imposed on you. Don’t confuse this with accepting advice from others. I am talking about two entirely different things. If you embrace the vision of others as your own you could never be fulfilled and you’ll end up like a dog that’s always chasing its tail. The tail is always in sight but out of reach.

Take ownership of your vision

We will always have people in our lives, family and friends who think they know what we can or cannot do and see it as their duty to tell us. In most cases I believe it is done with the best of intentions but in the end it hurts us because that is not something that we truly desire. The question of vision for your life is one that you and you alone must answer.

In the example above, lets assume that your heart is really calling you to be a teacher but a friend or family member convinces you to become a pediatrician. You may end up being a good pediatrician but although you are working with children you probably would never be as good a pediatrician as you would have been a teacher because you simply wouldn’t be as fulfilled

Action steps

1. Complete the question “All my life, I’ve always wanted to…”

2. Do some soul searching to determine the specific path you want to take to fulfill that vision. I.e. becoming a teacher vs. becoming a pediatrician

3. Start identifying specific steps that will take you along that path.

Examples

i. Short term: Identify the college you want to attend. Apply for financial aid, etc

ii. Medium term: Complete a 4 year degree and start working in the field

iii. Complete a Master’s program; open your own school etc

4. Identifying the people who can help you through critical phases of each step

5. Start now.

Gorgeous legs are every woman’s dream. Unfortunately the legs are susceptible to a variety of pesky conditions that affect their beauty and health. Cellulite, varicose and spider veins, dry, flaky skin and of course flabby muscles can affect the legs’ appearance and your confidence.

So is there a solution to all these potentially devastating body image busters? Can you feel good about your legs and wear your skirt with pride? But of course.

The solution is really quite simple, yet sometimes so hard to achieve. And you know it just as well as I do. Proper, healthy diet and physical activity will give you great looking legs that you can feel good about. It will help you with the prevention of cellulite, varicose veins, spider veins and other ailments that negatively affect your legs’ beauty.

But you to hate exercise, you say. That’s ok, you don’t have to be a marathon runner or spend every day at the gym. You don’t even have to commit yourself to a specific exercise routine.

But what you have to do is commit to being physically active and have fun doing it, because if you don’t enjoy an activity, then you’re less likely to stick with it.

Think of things that you could have fun doing. Roller skating, skiing, biking, swimming, walking, jogging, playing tennis or just running around with your kids are all activities that not only can be fun, but also they are great for shaping and toning your leg muscles and weight control.

Once you decide which activities fit your life style, commit yourself to doing them at least three times a week for an hour at a time. Just remember to warm up and stretch before any activity and have fun!

What if you don’t have time to get out three times a week? There are other options. If you work full time, you probably drive to the office and park as close to the building as you can. Choose to park few blocks away and take a brisk walk instead. Not only that will work your legs, but also it will energize you in the morning, better that a cup of coffee.

What about elevators? Do you find yourself taking one every day? Then stop. Start taking the stairs at least once a day. It is better that a stair climber. Just take your time and do it at your own pace.

So as you see physical activity is easier than it seems. The most important thing though, is to commit yourself to it and have fun doing it.

While you’re getting physically fit don’t forget about a healthy diet. It is just as important as exercise in getting great legs. It can be sometimes challenging to choose the right foods, but again if you commit yourself to healthy eating, it will be easier to make the right choices.

So what are the right and wrong choices?

Forget about junk food! And when I say junk food, I mean anything that has no nutritional value, like chips, fries, candy, cookies and pop.
It’s just as easy to grab a delicious fruit that you can enjoy and don’t feel guilty afterwards.

Other food to avoid are:

• fried and deep fried foods

• sweets, sugar and artificial sweeteners
• processed foods that contain large amounts of salt or preservatives
• carbonated beverages
• alcohol
• salt and salty foods
• foods that contain “bad fats” like trans fats and saturated fats

So is there anything you can eat? Don’t fret. There is plenty of healthy, nutritious foods for your enjoyment.

The most important ones are fruit and vegetables. They are packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals, they are low in calories and contain no fat. Dietary experts recommend consuming 5 servings of fruits or vegetables a day. Because fruit is naturally high in sugar, you should limit yourself to 2 servings of fruit, but have as many veggies as you want.

Other foods that are healthy and not consumed enough by the North American population are:

• foods high in omega-3 fatty acids

• fish and seafood
• lean protein

And let’s not forget about water! Water flushes out excess sodium and toxins out of your body. It contains 0 calories and is an appetite suppressant. It hydrates our skin, improves muscle tone and helps with weight loss. It is recommended to drink 6-8 glasses of water per day.

So start today. Follow a healthy diet plan, along with a physically active lifestyle and you will be on your way to achieving great looking legs that you can be proud of.

In theory, there are millions and millions people that can use your product or service. Very important for your business success is to find who’s more likely to pay to have it. One of the best strategy to get the right answer is to have in your mind the following 6 steps.

1. Find a niche market.
Don’t aim to control a big, general market, there are not many business like Microsoft is. You don’t need to be a magnet for millions people in your business, you only need to attract a few thousands customers. Then, at least for beginning, narrow your search to focus a “niche” like alarm systems, home lighting, women interested in garden or home decoration. If your product is a success, you can extend your market later.

2. Figure out what they want.
You must understand that people have various needs connected to your business area. Do not try to be a superman to solve everyone. Do not try to use your mind in dividing their needs in more important and less important. You might be wrong. A better approach is focus your attention to those needs they ask more frequently.

3. Develop the products accordingly.
This is a very sensible point. Your may think to start your business with more than one product. This is not a bad thing, but you must decide first what product or product category people are more interested in. Then start by launching a single product or a family of close related products.

4. Offer the product.
This will be the big day for your business. You have the possibility now to check if your ‘lab’ work fits the needs of the real people you targeted. For a better fit, evaluate the deviation between your offer and people request. Then make the necessary corrections and adjustments. Do not exclusively concentrate your energy to quality of your product. Many success businessmen can tell that some modifications regarding promotion, delivery or packing solved the problem in many cases.

5. Automate the business.
It is a fact that your time and energy are limited. By consequence, if your business needs your physical presence every minute, you will have only a small number of customers. To cover your expertise and handling you must charge enough from every client. This is not such kind of business you can develop on internet, because the big secret and advantage of online business is to make it run with no permanent assistance form your part.

6. Start another product and diversify.
If you have succeeded to put your business on automate way, you have time for developing and diversifying your product series. To follow the above points is a must for your success

The final note. Remember to check the second point or even the first one from time to time. Do not forget that not long time ago videocassettes had a huge market, but the CD’s development has killed it overnight.

Inter Val has been around long enough to know when the right time comes. Go find more about finance and investment.

Here are some guidelines that will improve your gross sales, and quite naturally, your gross income. I like to call them the Seven Commandments. Look them over; give some thought to them and adapt them to your own selling efforts.

1. If the product you’re selling is something your customer can hold in his hands, get it into his hands as quickly as possible. In other words, get the customer “into the act.” Let him feel it, weigh it, admire it.

2. Don’t stand or sit beside your customer. Instead, face him while you’re pointing out the important advantages of your product. This will enable you to watch his facial expressions and determine whether and when you should go for the close.

3. In handling sales literature, hold it by the top of the page, at the proper angle, so that your prospect can read it as you’re highlighting the important points. Don’t release your hold on it, because you want to control the specific parts you want the prospect to read. In other words, you want the prospect to read or see only the parts of the sales material you’re telling him about the time.

4. When you can get no feedback to your sales presentation, you must dramatize your presentation to get him involved. Stop and ask questions such as, “Now, don’t you agree that this product can help you or would be of benefit to you?” After you’ve asked a question such as this, stop talking and wait for the customer to answer. It’s a proven fact that following such a question, the one who talks first will lose, so don’t say anything until after the customer has given you some kind of answer. Wait him out!

5. Customers who are sales people themselves, and customers who imagine they know a lot about selling sometimes present difficult selling obstacles, especially for the novice. Believe me, these customers can be the easiest of all to sell to. Simply give your sales presentation, and instead of trying for a close, toss out a challenge such as, “I don’t know, Mr. Customer - after watching your reactions to what I’ve been showing and telling you about my product, I’m very doubtful as to how this product can truthfully be of benefit to you.”

Then wait a few seconds, just looking at him and waiting for him to say something. Then, start packing up your sales materials as if you are about to leave. In almost every instance, your “tough nut” will quickly ask you why. These people are generally so filled with their own importance, that they just have to prove you wrong. When they start on this tangent, they will sell themselves. The more skeptical you are relative to their ability to make your product work to their benefit, the more they’ll demand that you sell it to them.

If you find that this customer will not rise to your challenge, then go ahead with the packing of your sales materials and leave quickly. Some people are so convinced of their own importance that it is a poor use of your valuable time to try to convince them.

6. Remember that in selling, time is money! Therefore, you must allocate only so much time to each customer. The customer who asks you to call back next week, or wants to ramble on about similar products, prices or previous experiences, is costing you money. Learn to quickly get your customer interested in, and wanting your product, and then systematically present your sales pitch through to the close, when he signs on the dotted line, and reaches for his checkbook.

After the introductory call on your customer, you should be selling products and collecting money. Any call backs should be only for reorders, or to sell him related products from your line. In other words, you can waste an introductory call on a customer to qualify him, but you’re going to be wasting money if you continue calling him to sell him the first unit of your product.

When faced with a reply such as, “Your product looks pretty good, but I’ll have to give it some thought,” you should quickly jump in and ask him what it is that he doesn’t understand, or what specifically about your product does he feel he needs to give more thought. Let him explain, and that’s when you go back into your sales presentation and make everything crystal clear for him.

You must spend as much time as possible calling on new customers. Therefore, your first call should be a selling call with follow-up calls by mail or telephone (once every month or so in person) to sign him for reorders and other items from your product line.

7. Review your sales presentation, your sales materials, and your efforts. Make sure you have a “door-opener” that arouses interest and “forces” a purchase the first time around. This can be a $2 interest stimulator so that you can show him your full line, or a special marked-down price on an item that everybody wants; but the important thing is to get the customer on your “buying” list, and then follow up by mail or telephone with related, but more profitable products you have to offer.

If you believe there are no born salesmen, you can easily absorb these “commandments.” Study them. When you realize your first successes, you will truly know that “salesman are made - not born.”

Yesterday at the dinner table, my eleven-year-old daughter asked me, “Aren’t there times when you absolutely know you’re right and the other person is wrong?” She had a disagreement at school that day and believed that her view was the truth. I said, “I used to think I was always right and that other people were wrong. Now I still think I may be right, but I realize that other people know things that I don’t. I’m more interested in learning than being right.”

This month I want to describe how you can use curiosity - a key principle of The Skilled Facilitator and Facilitative Leader approach - to increase your effectiveness. My clients often tell me that learning to be curious has significantly improved their relationships with others and the results they get.

Curiosity is the desire to learn. When you’re genuinely curious, you assume that other people may have information that you don’t have. You also assume that others may see things that you may miss. As a result, you consider your point of view open to change.

When I first started practicing the Skilled Facilitator approach, I was not genuinely curious. If people disagreed with me, I was curious about their points of view, but only so that I could use what I learned to better advocate my own point of view. I still believed that I was right and they were wrong. My colleague Peg Carlson made this clear when she said, “Roger, having a disagreement with you is like a war of attrition. I know we’ll end up doing what you want. It’s just a matter of how long I want to hang in.” I was just more sophisticated about hiding my belief, but it still guided my behavior. Does this describe you at times?

What I learned then is that it’s not enough to ask others about their points of view. If you’re not genuinely curious and if you’re not interested in seeking valid information, you will use your pseudo-curiosity to control others. And they will figure this out, even if you know how to say the right words such as, “do you see it differently?” or “what problems do you see with my suggestion?” To help her make the transition, my colleague Sue McKinney took to asking herself this question: “What would I say if I were curious?” It’s helped many of our clients build their curiosity.

When you’re genuinely curious, your questions come easily and naturally. When someone gives you negative feedback about your performance, if you’re genuinely curious, you can ask, “Can you give me some specific examples of times when I’ve done that? That would really help me understand better.” And if, when you get the examples, you see it differently, then you say so and still remain curious, exploring how the two of you see your performance in different lights.

My clients often assume incorrectly that they have to be less vocal about their own point of view to be curious about others’ views. Not so. As long as you’re as curious about others views as you are passionate about your own, you will be able to use your curiosity to work effectively with others.

Sometimes the structures we work in make it more difficult for us to be curious. One of my favorite examples is a client that has a performance management system in which your boss has to approve your direct report’s performance evaluation before you can discuss the evaluation with your direct report. This sets up a dynamic in which you can find yourself in a dilemma if you are genuinely curious about how your direct report sees your evaluation of him. If you’re curious and find out that your direct report sees his performance more positively, and if you realize that you had missed some important information that would have led you to increase his rating, the system makes it difficult to change the rating that your boss has already approved. As a result, you are likely to control the performance evaluation with your direct report so that you don’t learn anything that would lead you to change your mind. This is just one of many examples. As you look around your organization or the organizations you work with, look for other structures or procedures that inhibit curiosity.

Next month I’ll talk about a related principle underlying our approach - saying what you’re thinking, or transparency.

For those who have seen the movie “Disclosure”, they would have
seen workplace harassment in a different light. The movie is
based from John Grisham’s book of the same title. The story is
about a hard-working employee in line for a top position in the
company. He later found out that the position which was supposed
to be his was given to another, a woman, who happens to be his
ex-girlfriend who still has a thing for him. It goes on to
evolve with her seducing him, and telling it the other way
around when he refused to be seduced. And he shouting sexual
harassment but no one believes. It continues on with
manipulations and betrayals, and finally the truth surfaces in
the end…

What is the point of the story? It basically tells about sexual
harassment in the workplace, with a twist. As opposed to the
usual cases, the man is the victim here. It is rare for the man
to be the victim but it happens. Everyone can be the victim. In
this case, power is used to be able to get away with the action
done. The ones in the position is the one who gets away with
these crimes as seen on books and movies. Stories like this are
mostly based on reality. Making it known to people these
instances happens and will continue to.

This does not only happen in books and films. This and other
similar cases of harassment really in the workplace, in real
life. It can be noted that in some of these cases, employees
tend to just keep quiet about these things because of fear of
losing their jobs that supports them and their families. Others
are even being paid off to keep quiet. Some are threatened
maybe. Whatever the reason is, the victim cannot always have
justice done. Those that seek it do not always get fair results.

When before, women are considered the “weaker sex” and is more
prone to these harassments, men also undergo them. Theirs are
not that publicly taken into account because of their status in
the society. Women cases are more acceptable but men are
considered extreme. Although it does not make any difference
whether it is a man or a woman. It all boils down to abuse of
power and position that makes people capable of sexual
harassment. It may not be something that can happen to everyone
but it is one thing that can happen everyday and in every
workplace.

This film is not the only one made about sexual harassment.
There are countless others. Although fictional, pictures of
reality can be seen. Gives one an idea of what can be done in
real life and in actual cases.

>From its beginnings as nothing more than a simple trading post
on the banks of the Missouri river, to its raucous heyday in the
1920’s and 30’s, Kansas City has retained the independent spirit
of its frontier beginnings. Even though an assortment of
colorful characters, cowboys, politicians, criminals, and even
wagon trains populate the history of Kansas City, you can forget
everything you’ve ever heard about it being a “cow town.” Today,
the outgrowth of that colorful history and frontier spirit
radiates energetically throughout the city and its populace.

Widely regarded as the birthplace of Jazz. KC’s early reputation
as a “wide-open, anything goes” city captivated and allured the
musical performers of the day. It’s central location and ease of
access via rail were the other components which induced this
musical migration. Kansas City became a haven for musicians and
fans alike.

The musicians, who interpreted their experiences in KC’s
permissive environment through their music, were also creating
the elastic techniques and musical license, which remain at the
heart of Jazz today. The hub of this development was the 18th
and Vine district. Many legendary musicians, Count Basie, Ella
Fitzgerald, Joe Turner and Charlie Parker to name a few, made
their way to Kansas City. Their connection to one another and to
the Kansas City “scene” brought about a unique musical expansion
which enriched the city’s history and initiated the genesis of
Jazz.

Kansas City’s affiliation with Jazz is celebrated daily at the
American Jazz Museum in the 18th and Vine District and nightly
at clubs and restaurants throughout the city. Live Jazz and
Blues are still an important part of the Kansas City
entertainment and nightlife scene.

Kansas City’s early sports history, specifically its affiliation
with Negro League Baseball, is showcased in detail at the Negro
League Baseball Museum.
