3 Myths about Becoming Wealthy by Anik Singal
When I talk to people about becoming wealthy, I generally hear one of two things. One is a desperate desire to become wealthy, the other a deep disdain towards the very idea of becoming wealthy.
Not everyone should want to become a millionaire. It all depends on your core values. Anik Singal's core values are different than Joe Smith's core values, which are different than Emma Watson's core values.
However, there are three widely-held myths about becoming wealthy that should NOT prevent you from pursuing it.
In this article, I'm going to reveal these three myths and discuss why they are, in fact, huge myths that will needlessly hold you back.
Myth 1: People who have a lot of money are unfulfilled
The idea behind this myth is that most wealthy people have a great deal of outer success that covers up a core that is deeply unhappy.
It's true that some wealthy people are this way. I personally know some people like this, and at one point in my life this was true to some extent.
However, most wealthy people are not like this way. If you look at actual studies rather than anecdotal examples, then it's clear that wealthy people are not less happy than other groups. You don't need money to be happy, but having money doesn't make you unhappy, either.
Myth 2: You making comes at someone else's expense
Obviously, there are successful scam artists out there. However, for the majority of self-made wealthy people, this is DEFINITELY not true and far removed from the reality of becoming financially successful.
Wealth isn't taken, it's created. That means there's an almost unlimited amount of potential wealth out there.
You don't need to exploit somebody else to become wealthy. In fact, the most sustainable way of becoming and staying wealthy is if everybody associated with your business – from your customers to your employees – wins.
Which leads into the third myth…
Myth 3: Becoming wealthy is immoral
I reject this 100%
The reason why I reject this is because becoming wealthy is not about "getting money." Money doesn't have intrinsic value besides the value we collectively agree it has. It's just a useful way to give a rough representation of VALUE, which is the real source of wealth.
If you focus on "getting money," you're probably not going to get much of it. Those "get rich quick" schemes you see on the internet won't make you rich unless you're actually creating value of some kind.
To become wealthy, you need to focus on "creating value." That's because when you create value, money follows.
By definition, value is subjective. What has value to you is different than what has value to other people. So if you want to become wealthy, then you need to figure out what has value to other people and give that to them. That means understanding people's wants and needs.
That's why if there was an "Anik Singal method" to becoming wealthy, it would be this…
If you want to start a business, you need to figure out what wants and needs your customers have and then create a product or service to satisfy them.
If you want to work for a company, you need to figure out how you can satisfy and unmet need that company has, or do it better than someone else.
The more value you create, the more money will come to you. That's the game we're playing here: creating more value.
It's a fun game to play, and a pretty fulfilling one because unless you're doing some really sketchy things, that means helping people. If you don't feel like what you're doing for work is actually helping someone, then you need to reassess what you're doing.
It certainly doesn't sound evil, does it?

What Is Digital Fabric Printing?
As its name implies, digital fabric printing is simply the concept of digitally printing on fabrics. While the inkjet printing technology used in the process was first patented in 1968, substantial advances have since been made, leading to specialized wide-format printers able to handle a variety of materials including canvas, vinyl and fabric. Digital fabric printing opens the door to tons of applications, particularly in the field of marketing communications.
One of the advantages of digital fabric printing is its precision and efficiency. One can print as much or as little as needed – from a small piece of fabric to an oversized roll.
A small listing of potential digital printing applications includes: fabric banners, fabric light boxes, flags, trade show graphics, graphic art reproductions, and interior design fabrics. With so many applications, the possibilities for the technology of digital fabric printing are nearly limitless. In addition, with digital fabric printing, there's no need to create screens upon which to print, which saves time and money.
Another plus is that digital fabric printing is more environmentally friendly than other traditional screen printing methods since it permits the printing of precise quantities needed, which allows for very little waste. This technology also minimizes the usage of inks and dyes.
Digital Fabric Printing: Where To Go?
While there are many printing companies throughout Southern California and beyond, Primary Color is among the best. Since their founding in 1984, they've established themselves as an industry leader by focusing on innovative print technology including digital fabric printing. They currently have locations in Los Angeles, Orange County and Shanghai China – giving their customers a worldwide reach.
Primary Color offers six core print services: pre-media, litho printing, large format digital printing, digital silkscreen printing, fabric printing and variable data digital printing. And all these services are color managed to each other, ensuring brand image consistency across all print marketing materials.
Some of the areas where Primary Color provides high quality print solutions for their clients include event signage, out-of-home campaigns, retail signage, trade show graphics, marketing collateral, vehicle graphics, wall coverings, and interior décor applications.
High Quality Fabric Printing
Custom fabric printing has become a popular choice for trade show and retail applications and Primary Color offers 10ft. wide, high speed fabric printing to meet the demand. Their Vutek TX3250r dyes fabric directly so it retains its drape and soft feel. This device can produce custom fabric prints and fabric banners that are odorless, achieve bright colors, are wrinkle resistant and can be washed and handled without harming the print. And the TX3250r also creates custom fabric prints and fabric banners that can be folded for easy transportation, which reduces shipping costs and leaves a greener footprint.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is one the easiest ways of making money online. You simply promote other peoples' products and receive a commission for doing so. You do not have to develop your own products nor do you have to worry about billing, customer service, shipping etc. Thus, many internet marketers prefer this business model due to its convenient, hassle free nature.
Here is a simple example of affiliate marketing – Jack is extremely passionate about fitness and thus he has started a health and fitness blog. He writes about healthy habits, diets, recipes, exercises, meditation and so on. He interviews fitness experts and doctors and posts their opinions on his blog. He keeps on adding valuable information and soon his blog begins to receive more and more visitors. John feels that a particular protein shake is really tasty and healthy and thus he recommends it to his visitors. He also comes across an eBook titled Fitness For Beginners and reviews it on his website. John earns commissions for all sales of the protein shake and the eBook. As the popularity of his blog increases, so do his earnings!
Remember that you do not have to be an expert on a certain topic to be an affiliate marketer. However, some understanding of that topic certainly helps a lot. Consider the following case. Steven Spielberg is an amazing film maker. He knows a lot about making and marketing films and is certainly an expert on the matter. You, on the other hand don't know much about direction, acting and other aspects of film making. Still, that does not stop you from reviewing Steven Spielberg's film. Sure, you have an advantage if you have some experience in drama or other theatrical arts but even if you don't, you can still write a pretty decent review if you want to. The same holds true for affiliate marketing – You do not necessarily have to be an expert to promote a certain product. You just need to have credibility as a reviewer. If you were an expert, wouldn't it make more sense to create and sell your own product?
There are many affiliate programs to choose from. Programs can be divided into two categories.
1) Programs that pay per click: You receive a small commission every time someone clicks on the ad (text or image) that you have displayed on your website/blog.
2) Programs that pay per action: You get paid when the visitor performs a certain pre-specified action after clicking the link. The action may refer to subscription, purchase etc.
Some of the most reliable affiliate programs include the Google Affiliate Network, Commission Junction, Chitika, Clickbank, LinkShare, Amazon Associates etc. Clickbank offers some of the highest commission rates since it deals exclusively in digital products.
As you may have already noticed, the most challenging aspect of affiliate marketing is to create a high traffic blog or website. However, once you do manage to build an audience, you can earn a very respectable income by promoting other products. The key is not to get greedy and to only promote products that are genuinely good. Top affiliates make millions every year.

How To Make Money Working From Home
Yes, you really CAN do it!
The ever expanding popularity of the internet has caused a radical shift in the way people relate to life. Just a couple of decades ago, one had to stand in a line to book tickets and mail was actually delivered by the postman. Facebook was totally unheard of and tweets were sounds that birds made! Today, the internet is an infinitely powerful tool that can be used for accessing information, connecting with people and for performing a variety of other tasks. Try living without the internet for a couple of days and you will definitely notice that something is missing in your life. You will feel left behind and out of sync with the whole world. You will become curious to know the number of likes that your new profile picture received. It would not be an overstatement to say that internet has become a necessity and/or an addiction for a very substantial chunk of the world's population. Billions of people from all corners of the world are online at any given minute and thus, the internet holds tremendous money making potential.
So how to make money working from home? This might well be the question of the current century. Well, there is no single answer as the possibilities are literally endless. New methods of making money online are being implemented this very minute! Mentioned below are just a few popular ones.
1) Find a job working from home: The advantages of such a job are that you do not have to commute to work. This enables you to spend more time with your family or doing what you love. You also save money that would have otherwise been spent on commuting. Working online from home generally allows you to be flexible with your schedule and many people enjoy this kind of freedom. The most widespread online jobs include programming, writing, translation, designing, teaching etc.
2) Sell your own product: Create and sell your own product online. You get immediate access to customers from all parts of the globe and it takes minutes to set up your business. You may use paid methods of advertising or pay commissions to marketers for promoting your product.
3) Sell other peoples' products: This is also known as affiliate marketing. This is one of the easiest ways of making money online as you don't have to create or sell your own products nor do you have to handle billing and shipping. You simply recommend products to people and receive commissions on the sales.
4) Create a high traffic website or blog: If your website/blog has a high number of visitors – you can monetize it innumerable different ways such as affiliate marketing, paid advertisements and so on.
5) Here is a general rule of thumb for determining which method of making money online is most suitable for you – what are you good at in the real world? Treat your online business as an extension of your real identity. Are you a good cook or a music teacher? Are you a doctor or a sports enthusiast? Find a way to make a genuine contribution to society and you will definitely make money.
Do not fall prey to get rich quick schemes. Remember that making money from home through the internet is not a form of escape. You still need a lot of determination, patience and willpower to make it big online. For MORE information, check out THIS post
How To Make Your Own Youtube Video
Youtube videos are the ultimate medium for expressing yourself and reaching out to people from all parts of the world. Just filming a pair of cute kittens can earn you millions of views and thousands of dollars! Many Youtube channels like Vitalyzdtv and Daily Grace generate 6 figure incomes a year and the best part about them is that they feature pranks and other funny content that costs almost nothing to create. You too can use Youtube to make money or just to share your experiences with other people. Below is a mini-course on how to make your own Youtube video. You will need the following things:
1) A video camera (camcorder). Today, you can get a good HD video camera for just a couple hundred bucks. You can find some GREAT Video Cameras on Amazon.com
2) A Youtube Account. It is free to sign up and the whole process takes just a few minutes to complete.
3) Windows Live Movie Maker or other similar software for editing the video. You can download Windows Live Movie Maker from the internet for free. It is fairly easy to use. You can even watch Youtube videos on how to use the software! If you're using a MAC – iMovie is what you want to look for
4) Depending upon the nature of the video, you might need to ask a friend to help you to record it. You can use a tripod to record indoors but if you plan to record outdoors in crowded locations, you will most probably need a camera man.
Now let's get started!
Come up with a great idea!
This is often the hardest part. The best way to come up with an idea is to determine the purpose of the video. What do you want to accomplish by recording this video? What effect do you want it to have on people? Do you want to entertain? Do you want to make a tutorial video? Do you want people to buy a certain product or sign up for a service? Establishing a fixed purpose helps you to create a definite plan of action.
Remember that people respond better to emotions than to logic.
This is precisely the reason why Gangnam Style has 1.7 billion views while many great classics barely have a million. Academically, a classical song may be much more difficult to perform than Gangnam Style but the latter is more in tune with contemporary culture and invokes stronger emotions. Funny videos, cute animals, babies, dog and owner reunions, song lyrics, covers, parodies, reviews, interesting compilations, recipes, how to videos are all very popular on Youtube.
If you're a beginner, then come with a script for your video.
You do not have to memorize every word but at least have a general idea in your mind. Practicing before a mirror is an old trick but it can do wonders to your public speaking skills.
Record the video and watch it.
Edit out mistakes, if any, with the help of Windows Live Movie Maker or some other similar program. Add captions and dialogue boxes if necessary. Don't forget to include a 'please subscribe' link.
Most editing programs have a Youtube icon.
Click on this icon to upload the video to Youtube. You can also go to youtube.com and click on the upload button. Uploading usually takes a while so be patient.
Once you have more than 500 hundred subscribers, you can apply to become a Youtube partner. Youtube partners can monetize their videos by setting up advertising campaigns. Youtube promotes its partners' videos aggressively so you will receive even more views once you become a partner.
Another way of monetizing your Youtube videos is by adding links (affiliate links or links to your own products) in the description.
Whatever you do, have fun making your video and do not use any copyrighted material.
How To Find A Niche To Market And Promote
Every webmaster dreams of creating a niche website that brings in thousands of dollars in passive income each month. However, for most internet marketers, this dream remains only a dream!
Finding the right niche is a daunting task for most – people spend a lot of time and resources on determining the 'next big thing' in the internet world. However, understand once and for all that there is no such thing as the next 'BIG' thing – there is only the next 'BETTER' thing. Creativity is cumulative – not absolute. First came the wheel, then came the cart, then came a cart with an engine and only after decades of research came the modern car. Even the modern car is not perfect – a century from now – people will be using modes of transportation that are far more advanced than those we have today! Well all this is OK but how does it relate to finding the right niche? Read on to find out.
What the above mentioned paragraph suggests is that great achievements are not a sudden event; instead, they are a series of events. The light bulb was not created in an hour. Thomas Edison spent an entire lifetime developing it. He studied the findings of several other scientists and only after years of meticulous research did he succeed. Even then his success was not final – The light bulbs that we use today are much more advanced than the one he created. What does this teach us? Two things – namely:
First, It takes PASSION to accomplish great feats. Do you think that Edison could have created the light bulb if he was not obsessed by physics? No! He loved physics – he dreamt it and lived it! The same holds true for all successful men and women. Bill Gates, Mike Tyson, Henry Ford, Michael Jackson, Joanne Rowling absolutely love/d what they do/did. Bill Gates had absolutely no trouble in deciding what he wanted in life. He was so confident that he even had the guts to quit Harvard – the best university in the world! He became successful simply because he did what he liked – he never thought 'actors earn good money, so let me try acting.' He simply chose to do what he was PASSIONATE about.
Last, but certainly not least – It is not that computer programs did not exist before Bill Gates. He just made better programs. J.K. Rowling is not the first to write about magic, her books are simply better. Vampire films are very popular today, they have been popular for a century and still new films about vampires are being released every other month. Some of these films are breaking records just due to the simple reason that they are better than the ones before them! Thus, it can be concluded that in order to succeed – you must do something that you are passionate about and do it BETTER than others. Forget doing something BIG, focus on better and you will eventually arrive at the BIG!
When you began reading this article, you hoped to find the niche that would make you millions! Instead, you ended up getting lectured on philosophy! If you truly want to become an internet millionaire, you must create websites about topics that you really like. It does not matter if there is a lot of competition in your niche – be better than others! The internet is literally overloaded with generic websites. Don't create another similar website – become an authority in your niche instead. That is the new mantra for making it big! Sure, you can use keyword research tools and find a couple of niches that are demonstrating an upward trend. If you like to learn new things, then you should definitely try those niches out. However, you have a far greater advantage if you work on niches that you already know a lot about as you can understand your audience better. After all, isn't the internet all about getting paid for doing what you love?
P.S. – Health, love, money, entertainment, fashion and technology are evergreen niches. They will always remain popular. Hope this answers your question!
B2B Branding – Separating The Men From The Boys
B2B Branding
Business to Business (B2B) is a marketing term that is used to define commercial transactions between two businesses, as opposed to a transaction between a business and a customer (B2C). When you buy a car, the deal is a B2C transaction but when a car manufacturer buys rubber and steel from other businesses, B2B transactions occur. It goes without saying that the number of B2B transactions is much higher than B2C since a manufacturer needs to buy several raw materials and services to create just one type of product.
Many businesses fail to realize the importance of B2B branding. They are under the impression that brand reputation matters only when selling to customers (B2C). However, trends have shown that these assumptions are wrong and that B2B banding is in fact even more important than B2C.
A brand is not just a name and a logo. It is actually a representation of values (such as efficiency, reliability and so on). Top businesses are especially keen on maintaining uniformity in their brand. This means that they want to elucidate consistency in quality throughout their supply chain. In simple terms, they want to buy from reputable brands as this makes their own brand even more credible and desirable. For example: Imagine a company that makes sausages. They can market their products much better if they tell their customers that they buy meat only from the best farms.
In a way, companies are also like people. Why do people prefer specific brands? Simply because they GUARANTEE that the product will be manufactured according to a particular (high) standard. The same holds true for companies – just like people, they too are looking for reliable goods. B2B branding is a great tool for tapping into the emotional drivers of buyers. Buying is a psychological process and the irrational element always plays an integral in finalizing purchasing decisions. Branding helps businesses to exploit this irrational element!
All businesses strive for stability and it hurts them if they have to keep switching between suppliers. Hindrances at the back end of a business make themselves felt at the front end too. A problem with supply leads to delays and this can have a negative impact on sales and reputation. For example: Consider a sausage making company that buys meat from different sources. If the quality of meat differs or if there are delays in supply, then the sausages will obviously taste differently. There might also be slight alterations in the texture. All this is highly undesirable and hence such a company will keep buying from TRUSTED sources. How to create a reputation for trustworthiness? Through branding and consistency!
B2B branding has become even more important since the advent of the internet. Buyers are much better informed and they have access to reviews of multiples businesses. Thus, a strong online presence is indispensable for if you want your business to flourish. Branding helps a business to become closely attached to another business's logistical chain and corporate culture. This helps to reinforce positive relationships and ultimately ensures repeat business.
Internet Marketer Ronnie Montano – Success Story!
Internet Marketer Ronnie Montano
Ronnie Montano is a top level internet marketer. He is renowned for creating some of the most revolutionary marketing products. He has managed to deliver results that were unheard of before. His highly effective sales funnels have enabled him to win many affiliate marketing contests. However, his true success lies in the number of people that he has influenced. Thousands of individuals from all corners of the globe have benefited immensely from his training and products.
Ronnie Montano has added a whole new dimension to the art of making money online. His methods work for everybody, everywhere. It does not matter if you have no prior experience or knowledge about the internet. If you can follow simple instructions and have the willingness to make it big online, then Ronnie Montano can make you rich! In fact, his methods are so straightforward and effective that you will have to be incredibly stupid in order to fail – in which case you probably cannot read this!
Note that Ronnie's money making systems are NOT get-rich-quick schemes! Rather, they are automated systems which have been crafted using cutting edge technology – they work because they follow a proven blueprint. Even though Ronnie's products involve sophisticated software, they are very easy to operate. Also, all of them include free training and this helps users to utilize them to their true potential. A few other internet marketing gurus may offer slightly above average products but they hardly teach you anything about the trade. Also, these gurus are more interested in winning competitions than in helping you. Having a product without proper training is like having a car but not knowing how to drive. The car is practically useless if you cannot use it for transportation. Yes, you can hire a chauffeur but that involves shelling out even more money!
Ronnie Montano has a no-nonsensical attitude towards success. He believes in smart work rather than hard work and this belief echoes in all the products developed by him. Below are some of his best selling systems
1) Easy Cash Code: This system unlocks the real truth behind making money online. It is actually a squeeze page generator that delivers mind blowing results!
2) My Binary Recoded: Binary options are very closely related to foreign exchange. They involve predicting whether a certain currency or a commodity (gold, silver etc.) will rise or fall within the next minute, hour, day, week and so on. Since there are only two possibilities (rise or fall), the concept is known as binary options. If your prediction happens to be correct, then you win money but if it is incorrect – you lose up to 85% on the original amount. Thus, binary options are a risky business if you depend only on luck. However, foreign exchange trends can be predicted by observing the factors that affect a particular currency (or commodity). My Binary Recoded enables you to make accurate predictions 98 times out of 100; this translates into cold hard cash in your pocket!
3) Tube Cash Code: This product encapsulates everything about making money through Youtube videos.
4) Mobile Cash Code: Earn money through mobile marketing!
5) Commission Cash Code: Do you like facebook? You will like it even more once you start making a fortune on it!
All products come with a money back guarantee, making them totally devoid of any risk. The bottom line is that even if you don't like the product (highly improbable), you will learn many new things for free!

Gallery: ANNOUNCING: The Winners of the ReBurbia Competition!
After much heated debate and a dramatic week of online voting, we're thrilled to announce the winners of the Reburbia competition to redesign the suburbs! We received hundreds of incredible entries over the past month and it was quite a challenge to narrow them down to twenty finalists, and four winning entries.
FIRST PLACE: Frog's Dream
The grand prize winner of the ReBurbia competition is…. Calvin Chiu for his ingenious plan to convert foreclosed McMansions into water-filtering wetlands that provide urban areas with a steady source of water. Dubbed Frog's Dream, the plan stands to rehabilitate and preserve wetland environments, solve the water crisis and ensuring the sustainability of our cities in one fell swoop!
SECOND PLACE: Entrepreneurbia
The second place prize goes to Urban Nature, F&S Design Studio, and Silverlion Design for their Entreprenurbia proposal, which seeks to foster sustainable and diverse communities with a simple change in public policy. By abolishing poorly conceived zoning laws and allowing suburban residents to operate businesses out of their homes, the plan creates a community of entrepreneurs who naturally transform sprawling suburban neighborhoods into vital mixed-use communities. The practicality and simple effectiveness of this solution really struck a chord with our judging panel – it's elegant, easily workable, and cost effective.
Third Place: Big Box Agriculture
The third place winner is Forrest Fulton, who conceived of an inspired plan to convert abandoned big-box grocery stores and desolate parking lots into food producing marketplaces. Dubbed Big Box Agriculture, the proposal combines sustainable practices of the past with new energy efficient technologies to shift the role of grocery stores from retailers of food grown far away to producers of locally grown food.
PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD: Urban Sprawl Repair Kit
In addition to the three winners selected by the jury, we let you be the judge and vote for your favorite entry. With over 2300 votes and 188 comments on her proposal, the winner is… Galina Tahchieva for her Urban Sprawl Repair Kit! This go-to set of solutions offers a series of simple retrofits for converting ubiquitous suburban structures into models of mixed-use efficiency.
Thank you so much to all of our readers who cast your vote and kept up the great dialogue around each of our twenty finalists, congratulations to all of our winners, and special thanks to all of the talented designers, architects, and urban planners who contributed their solutions to save suburbia!
Many thanks, as well, to our esteemed panel of judges: Fritz Haeg, Geoff Manaugh, Thomas Ermacora, Paul Petrunia, Eric Corey Freed, and Allan Chochinov.

So what keeps our govt., philanthropic groups, NGOs/non-profits or even Trump-like real estate moguls from buying up relatively cheap, almost deserted sprawl areas and finding more applicable uses for them?
Is it still not cost-efficient enough to justify? Do we need a zoning revolution to eliminate the bureaucratic bullshit currently in place?
Thanks for all the unique forward thinking by all the participants. Very intriguing!!!!

C'mon Dwell and Inhabit.com, put the bong down and get serious!
Urban Sprawl Repair Kit shoudl have been number 1.
August 19, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Contests like this are inspiring and give hope! I've enjoyed reading about all the ingenious ideas and hope to someday see some of them, in some form, implemented. I particularly like the big box agriculture idea — thanks for challenging people to find solutions.

This is why we can't have nice things…
I don't want to live next to a mosquito spawning pit, or the hottest nightlife location who's denizens just happen to be packing the curb space.
I could go for some local produce though.
But seriously, where's the airship in the winner's circle?

Comments about Primacoustic London 12 Room Kit:
Actaully used this product in a home theater application even though I am a musician who buys via musiciansfriend.com. Didn't have the time to build my own panels.
There is an initial smell with these panels - but it does go away after a few days.
Reflections and echos have been tamed and under control now.
Will utilize the Broadway panels in my music practice room in the near future.
My advice to anyone who uses this type of product is to due your research and learn the basics of your acoustic environment first - then you will love this product.

Comments about Primacoustic London 12 Room Kit:
Setting up the corner traps were a bit of a pain. But after setting up the first one, the second one wasnt bad. Totally killed the backside of my room. When walking from outside the hall into the room you can immediatly hear a difference. My mixes have become noticably tighter. However I do think they are a tad bit too pricey. But trust me, I am happy with the purchase.

Back to the Future
By Toodles
from Hurst
When I was a child my Mother ordered her holiday cards from Miles Kimball. I am so sorry I waited so long to "follow" suit. These cards are high quality and did not disappoint. I will not have to spend time attaching return address stickers or signing them if I choose not to.
Very expressive

McGraw for Undergraduates
Research shows that expert learners approach texts and problems differently than novices. They engage readings primed to pick out key ideas and arguments, to think about implications and to plan next steps. They chunk information and categorize problems according to tested strategies developed to conceptualize and to solve them. We here at McGraw translate insights from this research on learning and cognition into practical approaches to help Princeton undergraduates become more powerful, productive and independent learners. With practice and support, students at all levels can cultivate these academic skills and adopt new strategies and habits of mind.
The McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning offers workshops and individual consultations to support Princeton undergraduates as they take on new academic challenges and develop as learners.
At McGraw, students learn how to:
- manage a challenging reading load
- engage with key concepts from the reading and remember them
- problem-solve successfully
- balance work and life with good self-regulation skills
- identify learning preferences and study with those in mind
- take effective notes and create study tools
- prepare for precepts and exams
- overcome test anxiety and procrastination
- plan for large projects such as the JP or senior thesis
- give strong oral presentations
Check out the links to the left to find out more about our wide variety of offerings and advice to help even the best students get better.

Mountain Laurel Designs eVent Rain Mitts
Ultralight hand protection from cold rain/snow. It doesn't take too many trips where you encounter cold rain/wet snow to realize that your hands need protection from precip too. These eVENT mitts are the perfect choice for those looking for lightweight protection. Fit/finish is typical MLD — excellent! At 1.3 oz (mine are size Large) there is no reason these shouldn't be thrown in with your rain jacket. If it's really cold, layer these over fleece gloves or mittens. Mine have a lot of miles on… Full review
Red Ledge Gloves
Bought several pairs of their gloves because they were reasonably priced, but turns out they are junk. Cheap material and the stitching comes apart on the fingers. Worthless. Save your money...cheap crap poorly made with cheap material and they won/t stand behind their product. Full review
Cabela's Heated Performance Pinnacle Gloves with PrimaLoft
Recently, my husband has been plagued by cold sensitivity in his fingers. This winter has been a cold one, and being out and about in ordinary gloves has become very uncomfortable. In fact, some of our trips have been cut short due to his cold fingers (especially thumbs). It had gotten so restricting to our activities, that I suggested he try heated gloves. Gloves in his size (2XL) are not easy to come by, especially high performance winter gloves, but eventually I found a pair of Cabela's Heated… Full review
Swix Star XC 100 Split Mitt
Great for active winter use, these mitts split the difference between gloves and mittens using a 3 and 1 finger. Built to hug the hand without getting in the way they provide a thin, insulated barrier between hands and environment. Tailored into a pre-curved shape with an extra long cuff the Swix XC 100 Split Mitt looks a bit alien at first glance but after wearing them for a bit you can tell they were designed with humans in mind. The long cuff reaches well past the wrist to keep snow out. The… Full review
Century Leather Products Black Pile Sno-Mitts
Uber Black Pile Snow Mittens with with Plush Pile Insulation. Bought two pairs a few years ago; regardless of temp. these are the warmest gloves regardless of price. This was also confirmed by the person I bought the second pair for, as these are the only gloves he wears when working in the snow. Outdoor Research Men's Alti Mitts are the mittens I originally bought for snow work, and they are not nearly as warm as the Uber mittens. Plus if you are wearing the Alti Mitts and it's warm you cannot… Full review
Outdoor Research Meteor Mitts
Kept my fingers warm. Comes with internal convertible fleece mitten gloves that I do not like, but will work well. I substituted them with the Marmot Windstopper Convertible Gloves, with some light wool lined gloves under them. I must say, this system alone will keep your hands warm without the shell gloves 95% of the time. When you get to the summit and the wind is hitting you at 25 MPH and its -35°, you'll be happy you had these. They breathe well, but keep all water and wind out. They secure… Full review
Seirus Windstopper Cyclone Gloves
The Seirus Windstopper Cyclone gloves are warm, lightweight, and allow for amazing dexterity. They wick away moisture like crazy and are very quick-drying. I was looking for a more technical, slimmer profile glove to replace my very warm but bulky wool gloves for snowshoeing, and saw the Seirus Windstopper Cyclone at a trading post in Greenville, Maine. I wore them today while snowshoeing in temps around 10°F, with wind chills of around -10°F, and my hands weren't even thinking of getting cold. Full review
SealSkinz Windproof Gloves
These are great gloves that really are windproof. I wore them on a 26-mile hike in all weather conditions and my hands stayed warm. These gloves are great! Just like it says, windproof. Kept my hands warm on an all weather trek with high winds and rain and my hands stayed warm. I have Raynauds so it is really important to protect my hands from wind and cold. These gloves did the job. I used the sizing chart provided and ordered a medium. I should be gotten a large. Even though these fit, going up… Full review

UW-Milwaukee Department of Economics
The Department of Economics houses faculty internationally recognized for their research and dedicated to excellent teaching. The Department offers an undergraduate degree and two graduate degrees: a terminal M.A. and a Ph.D., one of only two economics Ph.D. programs in Wisconsin.
The Economics curriculum stresses both theory and application when studying important issues such as unemployment, inflation, exchange rates, labor markets, economic development, international trade and finance, and outsourcing. Economics also offers the practical advantage of opening up career opportunities. Both firms and government agencies are interested in undergraduate Economics majors for entry level jobs (here is a list of jobs in which our graduates are currently employed). The degree demonstrates your ability to clearly analyze and work comfortably with numbers. A national survey of starting job offers for the Class of 2012 shows that graduates with an economics degree have an average starting salary of $54,800, the highest of any starting salaries for business related and other social science majors. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal reports that those with an Economics degree had the highest earnings of all majors. Furthermore, other reports show that salary projections over the career estimate that the median earnings at mid-career is nearly $95,000, the highest for any major except engineering, physics, computer science, and applied math (click here for a complete list).
This website offers detailed information about the degree programs, faculty research, teaching and students. Please contact us if you have any further questions.

Torture by the Back Door
Scott Horton
Lindsey Graham has played a largely laudable role in the battle for honorable standards of treatment for detainees in the War on Terror. His efforts to regulate litigation in the U.S. courts coming out of the detention facility in Guantánamo have been much more controversial. Senator Graham, who is a reserve Air Force JAG officer and appeals judge, has couched some of his positions in terms of a desire to protect the integrity of the military courts system and to create a rational and efficient process of appeal. At a conceptual level this approach has much to it, though many JAG officers are quick to differentiate the established courts martial system from the military commissions and tribunals created by fiat of Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, where sharp deviations from accepted courtmartial practice have been decreed.
I was just going to let everyone know that I just found this place to make great business cards. I have all of my contact info on them. I can pass them out to co-workers, friends, potential jobs, or even that guy I met the other day. I designed them myself and it's very handy. If your interested.
Sounds just like the ACLU's talking points.
Didn't the UK court suggest, repeatedly, that the executive's use of information gained from torture is not only permissible, but at times required?
It's not that they banned the use of such information; rather, they insisted that they would keep their hands clean, while the executive should do something much different.
Your presentation of the Lords' views seems to be flawed. Their point is simply that, if you get information that there is a terrorist attack ongoing or imminent, you do not ask for the source of the information, but run to prevent the attack. The House of Lords does emphatically not endorse the use of torture or ill-treatment by the executive to gain evidence.
Best, Andreas Paulus
We have gone from what the definition of "is" is, to what the "definition" of Torture is.
And, of course, the wingnut definition of Torture is in keeping with their unwavering support for the death penalty, while those countries that don't have the death penalty tend to view Torture as the abomination it is.
So, we have the Bush administration essentially defending practices perfected by the Gestapo, the KGB and the Stasi. Do the Bush people even have a clue what this says about their so-called, self-proclaimed, chest-thumping "morality"?
Why do they hate America and why are they trying to drag us all down into the pit of hell with them?
Jay777 sounds just like the RNC talking points.
The ACLU is against torture.
The GOP is for torture.
That's a fact, you stupid dubyalover. You have no moral values because you're a neocon.
Consider the possibility that the Bush partisans do not really believe their own arguments, such as they are. If they were voicing general principles, they would be wrong. Even the Hollywood scenarios they conjure up give lie to that, because even if torture worked, which it does not (unless you want to extract false confessions for political reasons, not intelligence reasons), you need weeks of effort, so the whole ticking clock is bogus.Post a Comment
Yet, if they believed in the general principle, they would also say that it applies to a Clinton admin or a Carter admin. Yet, it's easy to imagine that they would opposed Democrats if the show was on the other foot (rather then being smashed on a supects head).
So this is about an ideology of power, specific to certain personalities. They believe, most likely, in a special right for their favored leader, Dubya, to authorize what they would prob. condemn from any other person. That's just a theory

This story was corrected on Feb. 21, 2012.
Two fires in Montgomery County leveled two commercial buildings, according to Montgomery County Assistant Fire Chief Scott Graham.
Investigators are on the scene of both incidents this morning working to determine the causes.
About 4:30 a.m. today, firefighters were battling a blaze at 175 Watts Branch Parkway in Rockville, the address of the former Karma Academy for Boys, a 13-bed residential treatment facility in Rockville. The building is owned by Montgomery County, according to a website for the facility.
KHI Services Inc., a Germantown-based nonprofit, ran the academy at the site until it closed in 2010. Since then, the building has remained vacant and boarded up, according to Donna Bigler, a Montgomery County spokesperson. The county was considering having contractors demolish the building, but had not yet made a decision, Bigler said.
Graham said the building was unoccupied and no one was injured in the blaze.
It appears the building is a total loss, according to fire and rescue spokesperson Beth Anne Nesselt.
A second fire broke out about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 17001 block of Germantown Road inside a commercial food facility owned by High Point Catering.
Graham said when firefighters arrived, the building was fully involved in flames. Nesselt estimated the damages to the building and contents at $500,000.
"Everyone is OK and that is the important thing," said Bob Egan, owner of High Point Catering.
The 5,000 square-foot building served as a warehouse for the company.
High Point has been in business for 40 years, Egan said.
Correction: The former Karma Academy's address is 175 Watts Branch Parkway.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 60 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Daisyview3 Does not transfer data to computer alone While the watch does what it's suppose to do, the data transfer option is very misleading. You actually have to purchase a Polar FlowLink device which costs at least an additional $50 in order to download your workouts. I bought this watch specifically for the data transfer and was disappointed when I realized you couldn't download anything without the FlowLink. In fact, the directions tell you to type in your workouts online to track them. The Garmin FR70 does exactly what this watch does for the same price but comes with a USB to download your workouts. Once downloaded, you can easy name, categorize and measure your workouts. I'd recommend the Garmin product instead. January 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by heartless, apparently works till you replace battery worked just fine till the batteries ran low... once i put new batteries in both watch AND strap, it would simply say heart rate was "00", or maybe work for a minute at best, then revert again to zero. now i wish i got extended contract November 12, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lo0127 Good watch, not happy about having to purchase additional parts Happy with watch but very unhappy that I have to purchase a separate device to download any information. On top of that, Dicks does not sell the Polar Flowlink or inform you about this. January 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bevy This product has excellent accuracy and easy to use. My son recently had open heart surgery. He wore his monitor to his rehab to check for accuracy. It was dead on. I would highly recommend the Polar FT7 heart rate monitor. Langston, the young sales rep., was most helpful. He took his time with me, to explain the features of the two monitors I was trying to decide from. He was a great help in ordering the monitor I chose. He ordered it on line while I was there in the store to make sure I received the monitor in time for Christmas. He went the extra mile, always smiling, explaining every question I had. I am very pleased with the monitor, your store and your sales rep. December 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by P90X Fanatic Great way to monitor heart rate and calories burned! Love this product, love knowing how many calories I've burnt at the end of a work out and if my heart rate was in a safe anaerobic zone. February 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lexi Absolutely worth it I had been debating which polar watch to get for a long time now but if went with this because of the heart rate monitor and absolutely love it, it works great and I love being able to see how hard I am working and if I need to be amping up my work out to get the desired effect from my workout. Long story short, I love it and it was beyond worth it. August 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by HRproblems Malfunctioning I love Polar, bought one of their original chest strap HR monitors when they first came out and it worked beautifully for 4 years. This watch/chest strap I've had for a couple weeks and it constantly tells me to "check HR" because it isn't syncing with the watch. If I stretch out my arms, it loses my HR, if I sitting it'll lose my HR for no reason, if I'm walking with my hands at my side it'll lose my HR for no reason. I have to turn off the recording part, reset it and it's fine for about 10 minutes....then it does it all over again...Very frustrating when I have a medical condition and my PT wants to see the recordings of what my heart does each day... July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by runnergirl Amazing product! Everything about this watch is amazing! The only thing I did not like was that I had to buy the mens because there was not a black womens watch. April 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mikeh1313 Awesome Heart Rate Monitor I received the FT7 as a gift for my birthday and it is awesome, it reads my heartrate very quickly, it is easy to us even without reading the instructions. Also the ablity to download the training results to polarpersonaltrainer are great February 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rick C Polar FT7 Men's Heart Rate Monitor This is an excellent heart rate monitor. I've used Polar products in the past and this one has many great features. Unlike the previous monitors, these now have user-replaceable batteries so they are no longer throw-aways. Setup was very easy and operation is a breeze. I would recommend this product to anyone who may want a great monitor for training. May 21, 2013

CH468 Oculus Chair
from Carl Hansen & Son
designed by Hans Wegner
"The chair is the thing that is closest to people, so it is important that its detailing is in order." -Hans Wegner Carl Hansen and Son's close co-operation with Hans J. Wegner's Studio has made it possible to recreate an original Wegner easy chair from a clay model and drawings found in the Studio's archives. Called CH468 (also known as the Oculus Chair due to its shape), the chair was created by Wegner in 1960 but had never been in production until 2010.
Wegner's Studio also had the only known prototype of the chair. Along with some photos, the prototype inspired them to begin production. The Oculus Chair is a sculptural easy chair whose construction, back, and neck support afford a variety of very comfortable ways to sit. The craftsmen build the interior frame from solid beech, according to Wegner's original design. Brushed stainless steel legs finish this finely-detailed lounge chair and help to create balance. CH468 is available upholstered in leather or fabric.
- 41.3" h | 37" w | 37" d
- arm height: 25.6" | seat height: 15.7"
- Steel legs give the chair a clean look and a strong base
- Solid, long-lasting solid beech frame
- Hand-sewn piping adds finely-crafted detail
- Fully upholstered in comfortable leather or fabric

About The ManufacturerThe family-owned Carl Hansen & Son has been producing hand-made pieces since 1908. However, it was not until the late 1940s that the Danish furniture house, under the direction of Holger Hansen (the "Son"), joined forces with Hans Wegner and began a partnership that would help further not just the company but the entire Danish Modern design style. Wegner's unique, modern designs initially tested the company's production team as it had previously dedicated itself to more traditionally home-style pieces. Under Holger Hansen's guidance the partnership flourished; in the 1950s and 1960s the Carl Hansen Company and Hans Wegner both received international acclaim for their boundary-pushing work. One of the first pieces to emerge from this partnership was the Wishbone Chair, one of four chairs that Wegner designed specially for Carl Hansen in 1949. While the company faced difficulties during the second half of the 20th century, including Holger Hansen's sudden death in 1962, Carl Hansen & Son persevered and began the 21st century with a renewed focus, set on bringing Danish Modern furniture back to the center of the design world. Since 2001, when grandson Knud Erik Hansen assumed control of the company, Carl Hansen & Son has expanded in Denmark, continued to produce top-quality, hand-crafted furniture, gone on producing successful Wegner designs, and introduced new, previously unseen pieces from the legendary Danish designer.

DesignerHans Wegner
One of the prime influences in Danish Modern design during its formative years, Hans Wegner first began to design furniture after attending the Carpenters' Guild Furniture Exhibits in Copenhagen, Denmark. Shortly after completing his studies at what is now The Danish Design School, he was tasked by Arne Jacobsen with designing all the furniture of his Arhus City Hall. After working with Jacobsen for a short time, he began designing furniture for the Carl Hansen & Son furniture company in 1949. From that partnership came classics such as the Wishbone Chair, Elbow Chair, Shell Chair, and Wing Chair. Still as fresh now as they were then, these enduring pieces of modern furniture bear testimony to Wegner's craftsmanship and inspiration.

If any of this ends up being true, this guy is toast and rightly so (the prostitutes he allegedly visited are underage). Ill keep an eye on it and post any further updates.
But allegations also have surfaced that Menendez, with the help of Melgen, saw prostitutes while in the Dominican Republic. Emails posted online last week appeared to show the FBI communicating with an individual claiming to know about Menendez's trips. That individual, who goes by the name of Peter Williams, confirmed to FoxNews.com that the email exchange "is totally authentic."
He provided another purported email exchange from last week with a Miami-based FBI agent. In the exchange, the FBI agent asked to meet Williams "away from the Dominican Republic" to discuss the situation.
