At all times endeavour to use promotional videos that presents worthwhile information to your viewers – Numerous business people mistakenly believe you can merely add any advertisement on a video channel, but nothing could be closer from the truth.

Internet video marketing is one of the best and quickest techniques of advertising at this moment in time.

In recent years, credit cards have become a major component of everybody’s life. It started as a convenient spending tool but now it has become a reasonable way to gain access to much needed credit in the form of cash and loans. Keeping a balance on a credit card account is today a very common thing and interest rates are a dominant factor in peoples’ daily finance.

As newer credit cards are issued every year, a balance transfer between credit cards is a common way for many to reduce their monthly payments and fees to lending organizations. If the credit history is kept in good standing, a balance transfer can be much easier and rewarding as most credit cards will be willing to grant a new loan to obtain future customers. Most credit cards offer introductory rates that are as low as zero percent and very often this low interest is kept up to twelve months.

Clearly, if someone has a very high interest rate on a credit card, he or she will save a lot of money if he/she can transfer its’ entire balance into a different credit card. But a balance transfer between credit cards can actually be used effectively for years by switching from one card to another while paying down the overall balance. But that is a dangerous game to play.

Let’s take for example, Mr. X who opens a credit card account at a given rate, say 7.99%. As he uses his card, he decides to carry a balance and just make the minimum payments. Within a few months, his balance or principal will most likely be the same and his minimum payments will only be paying down a percentage of the interest. Let’s assume now that another credit card issuer offers a 2.99% interest rate to Mr. X to transfer his balance. Mr. X will save 5% right off the bat by moving his balance. Furthermore, let’s assume that a year later a third credit card issuer offers 0% interest rate. In this case, Mr. X can transfer the balance yet again, effectively eliminating the interest paid for the period offered.

But obtaining a balance transfer credit card has a few rules that need to be followed. We already mentioned the fact that your credit history must be in good standing. The balance to be transferred should not be too high or at least in the price range that the other credit card is willing to lend. Another important factor is fixed fees that are involved in balance transferring. Because of the potential for significant balance transfer fees, before making a final decision on balance transfer card it is very important to compare the net benefit of the card offer. Simply put, because of added fees and surcharges, the other credit card offering a low or even a 0% interest rate might not be sufficient to justify such transfer.

At least two more elements must be taken into consideration regarding balance transfer credit cards. First to consider is the duration of the lower interest rate offer and second, is the amount of credit available for the actual transfer. The duration must be for a sufficient amount of time and the interest rate at the end of the promotional period must be lower or equal than the original interest rate. In this case, it is possible to find many credit cards that will guarantee the same introductory interest rate for the entire life of the balance that has been transferred.

According to legal experts, businesses could face legal action under health and safety laws if they do not use systems that help pinpoint the exact location of a 999 call.

The warning followed the release of an Enhanced 999 calling solution into the market by a Scottish company. The solution can detect the exact location of an emergency call. Currently, when an emergency call is made from an extension, paramedics are provided only with a generic number, and not with the detailed location of the caller. This often proves an obstacle when dealing with organisations that operate across sprawling locations or have employees working alone.

Experienced lawyers have forewarned companies that if emergency personnel are unable to reach an injured caller because the company is using inadequate information systems, they may face lawsuits.

Claire Anderson, a specialist health and safety lawyer, has opined that it is the employers’ responsibility to provide suitable access to emergency services for their staff. In an interview with The Scotsman, she said that in the bear future, when the calling solution is widely available, companies that do not have the technology will be subjected to enforcement rules, and can even be served notices and face prosecution. The Health and Safety Executive might target companies that have not taken action necessary to safeguard employee interests.

Companies need to be sure that they are giving the correct instructions to employees with regard to health and safety issues. Companies should make themselves fully aware of the most up-to-date requirements by visiting Workplace Law and looking at their highly regarded iosh safety courses.

For some time now, American companies have been using such systems to protect their employees and to avoid legal sanctions in the event of accidents at the workplace. Many states have even made it a legal requirement for the employer to be capable of giving detailed information about the location of staff to emergency services, and failure to do so could result in these businesses being forced to shut down.

Should you consider a home security system?

Maybe there’s been a string of robberies in your area. Maybe you’ve recently come into the possession of a few priceless valuables. Or maybe you just decided that a double lock on your door wasn’t secure enough. You need a little more than that. Whatever your motivation, you’re ready to install a security system. Security systemsthere are so many of them. What is a person hungry for a secure home to do?

Contact the National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA) or your state burglar and fire alarm association and request a list of companies in your area which are a member. Call several of these companies, and confirm that their employees are trained and certified by the NBFAA. Do the companies have appropriate licensing?

Do they screen their prospective employees before hiring? After you’ve narrowed it to a few companies, request the name of the person who will call on you, and make sure he arrives when all members of your household are there. When he gets there, ask for company I.D. Ask for an inspection, recommendation, and a quoteall in writing. Compare different price quotes and packages.

A security system’s price depends on how sophisticated it is. One of the good ones is the full-perimeter system, which has a series of sensors that detect when a door or window is opened, broken, or messed with. When a detector is tripped, an alarm sounds, and if the security system is comes with off-site monitoring, it will also notify local police. A number of other security systems protect you if someone makes it through your perimeter system and enters your home.

There are motion detectors, which sense significant movements within a certain range with infrared beams (these should be placed in central hallway, such as the main hallway or stairway), and floor sensors which, by the weight of her footsteps, can detect an intruder. Window or door screen wires activate if the screen is removed or cut away from the frame. Panic buttons can be placed within reach and can be activated if you suspect your home is being broken intopanic buttons also come as necklaces. Neat, eh?

But your security system is only as good as the monitoring service. Basically all companies monitor 24 hours a day, but there are other factors you should consider.

Security systems are monitored via the phone line, but that could be disabled by the intruder, and even by bad weather, so it’s a good idea to find a monitoring company that offers cellular or radio back-up should the traditional phone system go down. Find a company that offers annual maintenance, and also make sure your company signals your system to test it around once a day, and that the company responds when the system fails to.

But there are steps for your safety which you can take that go beyond your security system, and even without purchasing one. If you don’t want a security system, pretend you do. Get stickers that claim you are protected by such-and-such security and place them on your doors and windows. Acquire a Beware of Dog sign, whether you have a dog or not. Install dead bolt locks, and replace old doors with doors made of metal or hard wood.

Don’t surround your house and windows with trees and bushes. Make sure any sliding glass doors you possess have proper locks and can’t be lifted out of their frames from outside. Get rid of the chain on your door and replace it with a peephole. And, finally, know your area!

The best indication of how far you should go in regards to installing a security system is whether you are in a low or high crime area, whether your home is more accessible to burglary (for example, lower level apartments are more likely to be hit than those on higher floors), and so on. Know your situation, know your options, and protect yourself, your family, and your possessions

Not all dot-com dreams died when the Internet stock bubble burst.

Amazon.com, the king of the dot-com era, is keeping some of them alive in 2005 inside a small office on Capitol Hill.

Light floods into a sparse whitewashed room above a yoga studio, where former Amazon director Josh Petersen and his cohorts sit around a large table plugging away on laptops. This is home to the Robot Co-op, a tiny company owned by the online retail giant.

The seven-member group has created a Web community based on sharing personal goals and dreams with a worldwide audience.

Its Web site, 43 Things.com (www.43things.com), invites people to list their goals and get information from other people who have done those things or want to. The free service has attracted a global following of 12,000 people in two months.

43 Things is part of growing wave of online social networking, encompassing Web logs, as well as Friendster, LinkedIn and other sites that form virtual communities. Go online to find a date, a plumber or someone halfway around the world who shares the same passion for belly-dancing.

Like their dot-com predecessors, the social-networking companies have generated plenty of hype and millions of dollars in venture capital. The field is getting crowded with services vying for attention, from Friendster and Google’s Orkut to MySpace, tribe.net, craigslist and local startup Judy’s Book. As people spend more time online, developers are inventing new ways for them to connect with each other.

Big companies’ interest

No one can say for sure where this trend is heading, but Internet giants like Google, Amazon and Yahoo! are taking a keen interest.

One factor lending support to the business model is the sea change in advertising. Printed ads aimed at a general audience are being replaced by online ads targeted down to the smallest personal detail. If a company like Amazon knows that Julie in Tacoma wants to learn to make Greek food, it can send her cookbook recommendations or an ad for a local cooking class.

The technology is constantly evolving, too. Compared with earlier sites such as Friendster or LinkedIn, what’s different about 43 Things is that you don’t need to search for people with the same interests. The software finds them for you.

The same concept is behind the photo-sharing service Flickr and Web bookmark-sharing site del.icio.us.

People are matched based on the same key words or tags they use to express a goal, such as “lose 10 pounds.” After the first person posts a new goal on the site, every other person with that goal is added to the group, creating instant networks.

Advertising on the site also works through matching key words, so that it can be automatically targeted to specific goals. A company might buy a Google ad to promote its teeth-whitening formula, and that ad appears on all the 43 Things Web pages where someone has listed a goal of “whiten my teeth.”

The process means most of the site’s 44,000 pages feature targeted ads, all without a single sales representative. 43 Things had paid advertisements from the first day it appeared, Jan. 1.

A similar process serves up Google text ads based on key words in Google searches.

“If we make the site useful to people, that model will work out just like it does for Google,” Petersen said.

12,000 registered

Since the site went live, more than 12,000 people in 900 cities have registered and shared their goals, from the most mundane to the most bizarre. Among the throngs seeking to lose weight or visit foreign lands are three who want to take a bath in champagne and six hoping to learn how to raise just one eyebrow.

Some Seattle residents have started a bike-riding club and organized a gathering of neighbors in the Central District, while the site linked two people in Quebec and Beijing who decided to practice English together using Internet telephony.

John Hornbaker of Seattle has used the site to share his experiences using the iPod and climbing Mount Rainier.

“It was interesting and fun, seeing what all these other people wanted to do,” he said. But he didn’t receive much in the way of feedback. After a while, his interest started to diminish as he became busy with other activities. Hornbaker’s not sure how much time and effort it takes to get something worthwhile out of it.

Social-networking sites need a certain critical mass to realize potential benefits and generate significant revenue, said Mark Mahaney, an analyst with American Technology Research.

“Whoever has the largest network has a real advantage over other players,” he said. “It tells me if there really is a business opportunity here, you better build it quick and fast.”

Amazon roots

The idea behind 43 Things has roots in Amazon’s personalization feature, automatically suggesting new products based on what customers order. Petersen, the Robot Co-op’s chief executive, and others helped create that feature at Amazon in the late 1990s.

Five sobering years since those halcyon days of the Internet boom, their new company retains some of that time’s Utopian ideals.

But while the creators of 43 Things proclaim a desire to change the world, they don’t want to live like robots to do it. Typical office hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and employees have salaries that pay the mortgage, generous health benefits and unlimited time off for personal goals, which is the whole point of their new venture.

“A lot of startups have a very rough path before they succeed,” said Petersen, 33. “We wanted to have a humane work environment from the start. We didn’t want to ask our families to take on risk or take on partners who push for a return on investment in two years.”

Unlike many startups today, this one faces no particular pressure to make money just yet.

“A lot of people came up with some lousy ideas because they were trying to make money and left a lot of good ideas behind,” Petersen said.

Petersen said he and partner Daniel Spils, 36, began working on the project in Spils’ basement last summer, after Petersen took a paternity leave from his search-technology job at Microsoft. Petersen had left Amazon in 2002, and Spils left later the same year to focus on playing music as the keyboardist for Seattle band Maktub. They made pitches to several other investors before settling on Amazon in the fall.

Petersen had worked with Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos while creating the personalization technology, and a verbal agreement with Bezos in September set the Robot Co-op deal in motion.

“No one can say we know exactly where this is going,” Petersen said. “That’s a path they were comfortable with.”

Amazon won’t disclose the size of its investment or what it might demand of the robots later.

“We’re not discussing the details around the strategy there or speculating on the future of the company,” said Amazon.com public-relations manager Drew Herdener. “We don’t discuss our investment strategies.”

Company potential

Clearly, social networking has the potential to be a game-changing phenomenon, and Amazon wants a hand in it. As sole owner of the Robot Co-op, Amazon owns any technology the team develops, Petersen said. Although Amazon does have seats on the company’s board, the co-op has autonomy in its daily operations, he said.

“We built it,” Petersen said. “We’re in charge.”

The Amazon investment caused a bit of a stir when it was reported last month in Salon.com, the online magazine. Some users said the co-op should have notified people earlier. But traffic to the 43 Things Web site tripled in three days as a result of the publicity.

Petersen and Spils, the chief operating officer, said they have no specific obligation to share information with Amazon and wouldn’t compromise their users’ trust.

“The worst conspiracy theories bother us,” Petersen said. “You can’t make a site like this by abusing your users.”

43 Things’ privacy policy states that the company may collect and share with partners the information that users provide, including names, e-mail addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers, ages and genders.

So far, users don’t seem to mind sharing personal information with the world, and many post their photos and links to their own blogs.

Such information could be a marketer’s dream. Because the goals are so specific, the ads are better targeted, Spils said. About three-fourths of the 44,000 goals listed on the site feature text ads automatically generated by Google on the side of the page.

The group that wanted to learn how to raise one eyebrow, for example, is shown an ad for “shaping perfect eyebrows” from an online beauty guide.

The robots share their own lives through links to their personal blogs, and the Web site gets plenty of help from visitors. When Petersen wants some suggestions from users, he posts a goal such as “explore how 43 Things can promote online learning.” Soon people as far away as Quebec, Australia and New Zealand chime in with ideas.

The goal-obsessed robots use index cards to scrawl ideas or features they want to work on and sort them by priority. Each week, goals are taped to the wall with the time estimated to finish and the actual time each task took. A stack of 50 index cards lists features they are considering, including adding a link on 43 Things pages to Amazon’s Wish Lists.

For now, Amazon is giving the robots the luxury of time. “We’re totally free right now,” Spils said. “We don’t check in.”

The Scriptures contain many commandments with a promise attached for The Abrahamic Seed Group. These promises are fulfilled for us when and if we perform the commandment. Here’s a case in point where a commandment with promise was given to The Abrahamic Seed Group.

Exod 20:12

12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. (KJV)

Paul also reminds us of this same commandment with promise.

Eph 6:1-3

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. (KJV)

In other words, if we honor and obey our father and mother, all the above promises will be realized by us members of Abraham’s seed, whether Jew or Gentile Christian.

1. It will be well with us.
2. We may live long on the earth.

Is there anyone reading this who wants to have things go well for him/her and live long upon the earth? Then take heed to this commandment with promise.

Search your Bible. You will find many, many commandments with promise for The Abrahamic Seed Group. Here’s another one that pertains to our healing.

James 5:14-15

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. (KJV)

Anointing with oil brings healing when done right. Notice above! The sick one must call for the elders of the church for it to be done right. They cannot just go into someone’s sick room with oil in hand and expect to see a healing.

On the other hand, when the sick one follows the Scripture above to the letter and calls for the elders to anoint him/her with oil accompanied by prayer, then healing follows. Failure to follow the directions shuts it all down so that no healing follows. This is another “command with promise.”

Now we see a command with promise that affects your financial health. You see, every need we will ever have, God has a command with promise to care for it.

2 Cor 9:6-7

6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. (KJV)

Verse seven above raises an interesting question. What is this, “as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give…” Purposeth what?

The truth that giving is the equivalent to sowing seed gives us the answer here. We sow farm land with as much seed as we need to harvest. In other words, fifty acres of farm land properly sown can be expected to yield the full fifty acre harvest. The farmer will sow with the “purpose” of reaping a full fifty acre harvest.

Christians can expect the same in the realm of sowing seed into our Lord’s work. Purpose how much return you need as a financial harvest and sow accordingly. Plant you “full fifty acres” as it were and you will reap what you sow. “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give.

Three commands with promise. Do these commands and the promises begin to activate.
