Make That Reception Venue Sparkle

By Colette O’Loughlin Candles, candles everywhere …………. so make sure someone from the Reception Venue is on hand at all times - just in case! Ensure they know that candles will be featuring as part of your dressing in the room. Candles are just so amazing, affordable & can completely transform a venue from being ‘nice’ to ‘extraordinary’. Below are some suggestions to get those imaginative juices flowing:- Floating Candles In Tall Vases Tall glass vases filled with clear or coloured water (depending on your theme) & floating candles make dramatic centerpieces yet are simple to assemble and can be adapted in several ways to suit your needs. So, what do you do? 1. Line up the vases in a row. Alternate taller vases with shorter ones and fill each with water to the same level. 2. Add about 6 drops of food colouring to one vase to tint the water. Stir to mix, and add more drops as you feel are necessary to intensify the colour. Use the same number of drops for each vase! 3. Float a candle in each vase and light them just before the reception begins. Normally, the phrase goes ‘less is more’ but not when it comes to candles!! For a nautical theme why not try out our Seashell Votives? 1. Calculate the number of glass tumblers that you are going to need to decorate the reception venue and this in turn will number the amount of shells that you’ll need to collect or buy. 2. If you’re using shells from a beach be sure to clean them i.e. Soak them with a cup of chlorinated bleach diluted in a bucket of tap water, rinse well and let them dry (preferably in the sun). When dry, brush off any remaining debris. 3. Remember to remove stickers i.e. price from the base of the tumblers and quarter fill with sand and / or pebbles. 4. Nestle a candle in the sand or pebbles & scatter seashells around the candle’s base. So simple and very effective.

Separation of Church and State? Says Who?

By David Ben-Ariel Excerpts from fellowship about the real Jesus and the role of Christians in society today: If you understood that Yeshua is the I AM - He not only had the Canaanites destroyed for their pagan religious practices, He sent Israel and Judah into captivity for refusing to follow His biblical religion and as Yeshua drove out of “My Father’s House” the moneychangers with a whip in His hand! Certainly that was met with raised eyebrows and shaking of heads, not to mention FEAR! Yes, fear religion! And anybody who is a Christian who dares to deny that Christ will rule, as necessary with a ROD OF IRON, enforcing PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, simply is either in denial or woefully ignorant of the biblical King of Kings and Lord of Lords who will soon reign on Earth from Jerusalem with TOUGH LOVE! You’re talking Old Testament. I’m talking the Law and the Prophets that Yeshua upheld and will enforce when He reigns perfectly from Jerusalem with TOUGH LOVE, giving different strokes for different folks. Notice that God hasn’t ordered the execution of anyone since Jesus walked the earth. Yes, He has, time and again through the Law and the Prophets that haven’t been made null and void by the tender mercies of our God, the Sermon on the Mount, except for those who are truly repentant as we can best determine with the help of God. Why do you think it is written about the ministers of State: “He bears not the SWORD in vain?” And that such ministers of state are to enforce the Law of God, serving as the vengeance of God? Romans 13 shows God has ordered the execution and other forms of punishment upon lawbreakers since Christ, since His Word remains true and hasn’t changed or been altered to accommodate fickle men and fleeting societies. Jesus never told us to establish any form of government on earth. He clearly taught that His kingdom was not of this earth. If He wanted a government here now, He would have made one here, now. We, as disciples, are not called to rule here or even govern here. Now you sound like the traditional Worldwide Church of God and those groups who have forsaken it in droves since the Great Apostasy after the death of Herbert W. Armstrong, concerning avoiding politics, shirking your responsibilities, your civic DUTIES, failing to render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s, and by such woeful neglect and sinful negligence, have forfeited the reigns of government to the wicked and then cry about how awful things are! “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” I submit they’re not such good men or they would do something! Yeshua revealed HIS Kingdom of God-Beings, the ruling Kingdom-Family of God administering the Law of God, is yet future, that’s true, of which He will be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. However, as the I AM, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, He has established an earthly kingdom called Israel and Judah today, our family of nations - the Anglo-Saxon and white peoples of Northwestern Europe with our Jewish brethren. And to us, which includes those called to be Christians now: “REMEMBER THE LAW OF MOSES MY SERVANT WITH THE STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS” (Malachi 4:4). God calls upon our Israelite family of nations to RESTORE HIS LAW AND ORDER, and we’ll receive blessing to the degree we love and obey and He will bless our NATIONAL EFFORTS that reflect national repentance, learning to go by God’s Word as LAW, trusting in His wisdom, rather than leaning to our own understanding with all our different political parties of men. We must recognize we are suffering national curses for national disobedience and repent and avert further national disasters (Daniel 9:11). God will draw near to us as we draw near to Him. God’s Kingdom on Earth has always been through the physical descendants of Jacob-Israel, and we’re to be a TYPE of the future Kingdom of God-Beings that will reign over us as we reign over other nations. We are called to be Christ on earth. To show others by our example, who He is. Would Jesus have advocated war? How about slaughter? Yes, we are called to reflect Christ on Earth, and our NATION is called to reflect GOD on Earth, as a “Light to all nations,” a MODEL NATION for others to follow, seeing our sound mindedness and wisdom, peace and prosperity from following God’s heavenly law here on Earth. Christ would certainly advocate war, if and whenever necessary, without hesitation, as revealed in the Law and the Prophets, the Law of Moses that our peoples and professing Christians have forgotten to our confusion and shame! Onward Christian Soldiers! This is where groups like the KKK confuse the heck out of me. They obviously don’t know Christ. If they did, they’d know that He’d never treat another human the way they do. I don’t know a single member of the KKK and from personal experience know how a group’s beliefs can be misrepresented by hysterical mobs. If the KKK is biblical on this or that, I support them on this or that. Where they’re not biblical, I would say so and not offer support but call upon them to change. The racist NAACP obviously doesn’t know Christ or they wouldn’t judge everything falsely by the color of someone’s skin rather than the content of character (while ignoring national issues that are biblically based on ethnicity), and they wouldn’t hold people down and under and back so they can keep their self-important positions they’ve prostituted themselves for at the expense of their own people whom they’ve sold down the river, listening to the siren calls of the race hucksters like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, both of whom should move to Africa and lead the way and create opportunities for others to follow. I would support them expressing such creativity in action instead of always cursing the real or imagined darkness rather than lighting a candle. So many people claim to be followers of Jesus, then turn right around and go against His teachings. Jesus taught us to turn the cheek, love our enemy, bring peace and love to the sick and hurting. Deliver others of demons and heal the sick. I see none of this in our government body and I see very, very little of this in the corporate church body. God’s one government has two branches. Jesus was talking to individuals (Sermon the Mount) and He was talking to the NATION (10 Commandments/Law of Moses) when He revealed how we are to live. So many people claim to be followers of Jesus, then turn right around and go against His teachings. He said to expel sworn enemies from our Land; to execute various criminals and cleanse the Land, to wage war, if and whenever necessary, and not to show the mercy of fools to nations or individuals who hate our guts and would slit our throats their first opportunity. We’re to love our neighbor as ourselves, not more than ourselves. Yeshua said to be “wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” He was referring to an ATTITUDE, a willingness to go the extra mile, out of our way, but not indefinitely! If we take all of Yeshua’s teaching on any given subject, rather than twist His teachings into some hippy pacifism, you’ll see there’s a time and a place, which is why He could act so violent and knock over tables and chairs and drive both men and animals from the Temple with a WHIP IN HIS HAND! Certainly doesn’t fit the traditional false image, does it? His harsh words against the religious leaders of His day certainly weren’t smooth and pleasant to listen to, especially if you were on the receiving end of His verbal attacks! And when He reigns, He will rule with a ROD OF IRON and rebuke some nations, punish others and even destroy some. Folks would do well to not try to tell the REAL JESUS about His teachings or to remember His Sermon on the Mount! Jesus will perfectly exercise the Law of Moses tempered by the Sermon on the Mount, as divine wisdom calls for, and we’re called to whatever extent we’re offered in this life to do the same, whether it’s in the home, office, pulpit or political position. That’s why our kings, our rulers, are commanded by God to read and study His Word daily that it may be the LAW OF THE LAND, and they can be humbled by realizing they’re merely human instruments of God’s grace, God’s rod and staff. David Ben-Ariel, a Christian-Zionist writer and author of Beyond Babylon: Europe’s Rise and Fall, shares a special focus on the Middle East, reflected in hard-hitting articles that help others improve their understanding of that troubled region. Check out the Beyond Babylon blog.

Setting the standards for other manufacturers to follow suit, leading mobile phone creator Nokia has introduced the Nokia 5500 Sport that specially caters to the health freak phone users. The Nokia 5500 has been endowed with such revolutionary features like fitness tests in the likes of Coopers test and biking test, sports diary to maintain exercise regimes a la a fitness coach program, calories burned counter for walking and running, and speed and distance counter. Now, isn’t that just so much of a groovy idea to perk up the mobile phone experience? An what’s more, this is not the last straw in the industry’s progressive run. With mobile phones serving as health regulatory devices as well, more categories are likely to erupt in the scenario to make a clean sweep of its conquest.

Budget minded cell phone users Emergency users Parents who want their kids to stay in touch without the worry of running up a bill People with some damaged or no credit history Prepaid cellular services are getting very popular these days.

They offer cost control with a fixed price per minute, control over costs with cell phones distributed by parents, no credit check and increased anonymity. Increasing Consumer Demand For Prepaid Cellular Prepaid cellular services are currently the fastest-growing segment of the wireless phone market, perhaps because wireless service can be started up with no subscription fee for well under $100. More and more people are using this service to control spending than to get around credit problems. In Europe, already more than 60% of subscribers are on a prepaid wireless plan, while in the United States, only 8 to 10 percent of users have chosen that system. But it’s growing fast: In Canada, for example, some providers see their prepaid subscribers base increase 50% faster than those of an ordinary monthly billed service. Prepaid Cellular Phones Are Ideal In The Following Situations: If your customers want to budget their cell phone use or If want a phone for occasional use but don’t want to pay a monthly service fee or enter a long-term agreement, or If have no credit history or past credit problems, or If usage varies from month to month, or If want to buy children a phone for emergency use but restrict the amount of calls they make, or If are looking for a gift. or If don’t feeling comfortable providing information for a carrier credit check, or If want to learn about their usage patterns befor committing to a long-term monthly billing wireless contract. Prepaid Deals Let Your Customers Budget Their Spending In Advance.

Prepaid minutes can be spread over several months, usually two or three, so if use only phone occasionally, it can be less expensive than paying every month for airtime for airtime that they won’t use. Now from a single POSA Terminal, a retail merchant can offer his customers multiple Pre-Paid services. This method is superior to merchants having to use “LIVE” pre-paid cards that are expensive to purchase and are plagued by theft. A merchant must make as many as 10 Pre-Paid card sales to makeup for the theft of one live card! But now, with the P.O.S. Activation System, these problems are a thing of the past. Merchants receive an inventory and marketing materials, at no cost to them. These Inventory have no value unless they are activated at the P.O.S. Terminal.

Your Database is Your Most Important Marketing Tool

By Katrina Sawa For most small businesses, a database is the most important marketing tool. The following article discusses how to really keep track of a good database, how to systematize or automate a database marketing campaign and how to get a good prospect or mailing list. For small businesses, a database can be the most important marketing tool. It doesnt matter if contacts are kept in Outlook, ACT, Goldmine, QuickBooks, Excel or another program; what matters most is that it is kept up to date, new contacts added often, it’s easily accessible, easy to utilize mail merge functions, and easy to download. Now, if the database isn’t in a computer program, then problems come up. Its easy to overlook the value of being able to keep in touch with clients quickly. Do whatever it takes to enter contacts, business cards, emails, scraps of paper, etc. into the computer. Use Excel at the very least and build a spreadsheet. If you typing isnt enjoyable, creating a contact list might take too long. DELEGATE THIS OUT! Pay someone (a Virtual Assistant or temporary) to enter and organize the contact list. Besides, data entry does NOT make big money; Concentrate on getting more people to add to the list! Make sure to keep columns of categories, such as, ‘where you met them’, categorize as ‘hot, warm or cold prospect’, ‘client, active or non’, ‘referral source’, ‘vendor’ or other form. This way its easy to pull out mailing lists to separate groups. Each group will need different messages created specifically to that groups needs. Prospects need sales type messages, clients need additional services and/or touchy-feely messages, referral sources need to be asked for referrals and to know about new services. How to find a good Mailing List. We always recommend using a Direct Mail List Company and happy clients are pleased with the resources provided. Typical lists cost about $100 per 1000 names, however the more criteria added, such as demographic or psychographic info, the cost goes up a bit; sometimes as high as $300 per 1000. Lists can come in Microsoft Excel format and can be emailed for the fastest turnaround. Depending upon delivery method, it could take up to 2 business days. Excel is the standard format and is can be easily used for a data source in a mail merge. For one client, Bellissima Imported Shoes in Roseville, California, they acquired a list of women age 30-60 who lived in Roseville, CA or Granite Bay, CA AND had shopped for shoes in the last 3 months!! That’s a huge target market!! Bellissima is doing well; please visit them at www.bellissimaimportedshoes.com. Lists exist for almost any target market, such as, attorneys, school administrators, age groups, income or geographic areas (almost anything you can imagine). It’s a great way to increase a database quickly, although it is recommend that networking in person is best method for obtaining a contact list. Really, meeting and connecting in person, then adding them to a database provides more ways to market by mail, email, phone, etc. Not to mention, more referrals and business to come back around! How to Systematize or Automate Your Database Marketing It is highly recommended that signing up for and using an email marketing program of some sort as an effective tool for quick and consistent contact with your list. Below is a short list of email marketing tools. www.constantcontact.com www.emailbrain.com www.bluehornet.com www.exacttarget.com www.ezinedirector.com Email marketing can be free (except for the low fees associated with the previously mentioned email marketing companies). K. Sawa Marketing uses Constant Contact because its easy to manage, easy to create templates, upload logos and photos and include links, etc. Plus, they track every email that goes out, who opens them, who clicks through to the website, opt ins/outs, etc. Love it! It is recommended to email to the contact list or database at least once a month; however, twice a month or more may be needed to promote your products and services online. To find out how to avoid mistakes in Email Newsletter Campaigns, email ezinereport@ksawamarketing.com for a REPORT: The Top 5 Mistakes People Make in Their Email Marketing. Adding Direct Mail for certain types of businesses make sense. In a tough market like Real Estate, Mortgage, Insurance or Financial Services more consistent mailings (i.e. monthly mailings) are important to stay in front of the client. Whats important with mailings is sending something of value. Make sure to send items and information that the clients want to know about. YOUR MESSAGE IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS! Making mailings automatic can be as simple as designing a campaign of 6-12 postcards or letters all at one time, setting up the printing to be done at a mail house or printer. Every month email the mail house or printer the updated list and they take care of the rest. Plan mailings in advance, not only will it save money but it will make the message more targeted and planned out for specific times of year, holidays, special sales, etc. Last minute campaigns create stress. Trying to put together a mailer each month in between appointments, late nights and everywhere in between will likely result in a poor quality piece with unclear messages, and worse, forgetting about branding. Missing important ways people instantly recognize or differentiate from another business could lead to missed sales and profits. Finally, if managing all the details isnt working JUST DELEGATE IT! Hire a graphic designer and/or marketing company who can design marketing pieces and coordinate your mailings. Then, hire an assistant or Virtual Assistant to manage and update contact lists each month. It will save money in the long run! ========================================================= PERMISSION TO REPRINT: This article may be reprinted provided it appears in its entirety with the following attribution: Katrina Sawa, Small Biz Marketing Expert and Founder of K.

Private Practice Marketing: How to Use Programs to Market Your Practice

By Jeff Herring Private practice marketing, in order to be successful, requires a repeatable system, one that you can use over and over again. Remember that SYSTEM stands for Save Your Self Time Energy Money. Keep this in mind as you develop various systems in your practice. Do you know how to structure programs to market your private practice? Read on to learn how to deliver the same material in a much more attractive manner. Therapy vs. Programs Believe it or not, by now most people have had some experience with counseling and therapy. More and more people are getting experience with coaching as well. The problem is that most therapy and coaching is seen as an ongoing same time next week for the rest of your life with no foreseeable end in sight kind of process. Most people get skittish about committing to this kind of thing, whether for the first time or for another time. This is where the value of creating and structuring programs comes into play. You can take the same content with a fixed number of sessions and market it as a program and get much better results and more clients. For example, let’s say I have a couple contact me that is not on the brink of divorce or even really fighting, the just feel like the spark has left and they want to make things better, but are not sure how to do it. I could say sure I’ll work with you let’s meet every week for awhile. Or I could say let’s get you started in my 5 Week Relationship Jump-Start Program. See the difference? The nice thing is that many people, after completing the program, are now ready to get into a more regular schedule with you. Even then I would call it a program, such as The Ongoing Relationship Coaching Program. And, oh yeah, one more thing. You can charge more for a program than you can for ongoing therapy.

Staying Toned After Weight Loss

By Michael Lewis Staying Toned After Weight Loss —————————————- Following significant weight loss, it is vital to have an exercise routine to keep your muscles firm and help to tighten the skin. One of the biggest drawbacks to significant weight loss is the flabby skin that is visible that often can take months to disappear. First the pectoral muscles —————————————- First of all, we recommend performing any exercise that works the pectoral muscles will help tone the chest, but be careful not to do exercises that work the breasts directly. Breasts are not muscle tissue, they are fatty tissue, and therefore do not respond to weightlifting or resistance exercise of any type. In cases where the breasts are small, toning the pectoral muscles will lift the chest and possibly the breasts along with it, but if there is a lot of breast tissue, the exercises will not lift it. This tissue may disappear over time, or it may not. Your only option would be surgery. How much will my skin tighten? —————————————– How much your skin will tighten depends on your age, length of time the skin was stretched and how much it was stretched, how much weight you lost (and to some degree how fast you lost it), the amount of elastin in your skin, and genetics. Exercise can help as it will tighten the skin, plus it will tighten and tone muscles under the skin, which can have an affect on your appearance. We generally ask people to wait 8-12 months to see how much the skin tightens. If after this time the skin is unacceptably loose, then surgery may need to be considered to correct it. In some of these cases, when it is deemed a health risk, insurance may cover the surgery. However, for those who are not using “Infrastructure Mode”, and are configured to communicate from machine to machine, or “Ad-Hoc”, there are a few things you should be aware of. What about my stomach? —————————————– For the stomach, the bottom line to weight loss is to burn more calories than you consume. If you eat 2,000 calories in a day and only burn 1,500, you’re going to gain weight. On the other hand, if you eat 1,500 and burn 2,000, you’ll be in caloric deficit by 500 calories. Given that scenario, at the end of the week, that would be 3,500 calories, and 3,500 calories equals one pound. Diet and exercise —————————– The combination of modifying your diet and exercise is a good plan. Aerobic exercise will burn lots of calories and help you stay healthy and fit (independent of body weight), and resistance exercise will tone, strengthen, and increase your muscle mass. More muscle mass is important for weight control because it is the engine on your body that burns calories. Not only that, but when you lose weight, you can lose up to 25% of your weight from muscle, so you want to keep as much of it as you can. You can lose weight without exercise, but… ——————————————- It is important to note that you can lose weight without exercise by modifying your diet. People lose weight all the time without exercise by reducing caloric intake. In fact, in virtually all studies of weight loss, people who diet ALWAYS lose more weight than people who exercise. If you ask those same people to diet AND exercise, they lose a little more weight than the dieters alone, but not that much. Why is this? This is due to muscle weights more than fat. With more muscle mass, your body will turn to fat as its energy source and burn the fat for energy. As a pound of fat can be five times the size of a pound of muscle, you can keep the same weight, yet look trimmer and healthier, as lean muscle gives you a sleek, toned physique. People who are most active are most successful ———- In virtually every study of weight maintenance, the people who are most active are most successful in maintaining weight loss. Most scientists agree that exercise is the single best predictor of weight maintenance success. So the bottom line is to burn more calories than you consume, by either reducing your caloric intake, and then increasing your activity as you lose weight so by the time you get to your goal weight you can keep it off because you are active. One final point: Aerobic and resistance exercise are also both very important for health. In fact, you can be healthy and fit if you exercise independent of body weight. In one very important study, overweight, fit people were healthier and lived longer than lean, unfit people. That’s a very important point because weight loss can be slow, frustrating, and not everyone gets to an “ideal” weight. So keep up the exercise, watch your caloric intake, and results will follow.

Nobiliary Law - What Is It?

By Jan-Olov Von Wowern I have elsewhere defined nobiliary law as “national legislation, or international or national customs, regulating nobiliary issues. In many cases this is not codified, but rather a set of rules and traditions having gained acceptance” (see my book at http://www.findyournobleancestors.com). Examples of some of the more important issues regulated by nobiliary law are: - claims to nobility (surname, coat of arms, title) by non-noble persons. This could, but must not, include: children with one or two noble parents but born out of wedlock; stepchildren to noble parents; children to a noble lady in an agnatic family, etc. - claims to nobility by noble persons, where the claims cannot be automatically verified. This could be e.g. the inheritance of a noble title in a junior line of the family when the senior line becomes extinct. - borderline cases, such as which among the ancient patrician families were, and were not, to be numbered among the nobility. Or the reactivation of a family’s nobility after some time of voluntary or involuntary loss of nobility (usually because one or all of the nobiliary qualities has not been used for two or more generations). - the naturalisation of foreign nobility, that is the assimilation of immigrant nobility into the domestic nobility, usually with the purpose of ensuring the foreign nobility the same privileges as the domestic. - heraldry, and more specifically the use of certain symbols usually reserved for the nobility, such as coronets of nobiliary rank, the use of supporters, etc. Also marshalling of arms, that is the proper combination of two or more coats of arms due to marriage between two noble families, and similar issues may be regulated. In some countries the nobility is a subject of public law (Belgium, Finland, Netherlands, and in Spain only regarding the titled nobility). In other countries this is not the case, and then the nobility may have organised itself in one or more associations in order to have an institution to handle nobiliary issues such as those mentioned above. It is therefore of the utmost importance for every noble family to define and clarify under which legislation, or under which set of rules or regulations whether codified or not, they are a subject. Nobiliary law is a complex and multi-faceted subject. It is often necessary to do extensive research in order to establish which rules apply to a specific noble family. A starting place can be to collect relevant literature from (or about) the country where the family is known (or believed) to have been ennobled (or first recognised as noble). This may be done by searching the many antiquarian bookshops available on the Internet, for keywords such as “nobility” or “nobiliary” in the book title. Sometimes a specific Internet site will be dedicated to nobiliary law (such as the Italian http://www.dirittonobiliare.com). Perhaps the most important thing to remember about nobiliary law is that it is not the same as public law. It may well be possible, according to national legislation, for a non-noble person to assume a noble surname, but this does not make them members of the nobility. A person can only be a member of the nobility if they are so according to nobiliary law, whether this is in harmony with the public law or not. Jan-Olov von Wowern lives in Stockholm, Sweden, and is the head of the Swedish branch of the von Wowern family, dating back to its founder who was born around 1090 and made a Marquis in 1141. He is active in European charitable and nobiliary work. Visit his page at http://www.findyournobleancestors.com and download a FREE chapter from his book.
