For many, this seems like an impossible task. For others, though, it's a lifelong dream.
If you fall into the latter camp, you probably have a lot of questions surrounding the home building process.
For example, you might be wondering, "How much does it cost to build a house?" or "Is there anything I can do to reduce the cost while still getting my dream home?"
Of all the questions people have regarding home building, the question about cost is probably the most common.
Read on to learn more about how much building a home from scratch costs and how you can save money while building your dream home.
Factors That Influence the Cost of a House
Before getting into the cost of building your own home, it's important to understand all the factors that go into determining the cost. Some factors that influence the cost include:
- The location of the lot (it costs more to live in a great neighborhood)
- The condition of the site (soil condition, utility conflicts, infected materials, etc.)
- Access to materials and how close they are to the site
- Your choice of architect
- Labor costs (labor is usually more expensive in urban areas compared to rural areas)
- The size of the home
- The number of stories the home has
- The types of fixtures and finishes used
- The shape of the home
- The type of roof used
- The type of appliances used
- Additional design fixtures (pools, outdoor kitchens, etc.)
The project schedule affects the cost of the house, too. The sooner you want it completed, the more expensive it will be.
How Much Does it Cost to Build a House?
Okay, so how much does it actually cost to build a house? The final price will depend on all the factors listed above.
On average, though, you can expect to spend between $151,556 and $440,233. The national average cost of building a home is $294,793.
Some people are able to build their homes for much less (as low as $13,000) or a lot more (as much as $750,000 and above).
How to Save Money While Building Your House
As you can see, building your own home isn't exactly cheap. At the same time, though, it can be quite a bit cheaper than buying. The average cost of building a house in the United States right now is $218,000.
If you're looking to save money, building your own house is the way to go. You can cut the price down even more by implementing some of these strategies.
Get Your Priorities in Order
Before you begin the building process, do lots of research to figure out what kind of house you want to build.
Think about what is most important to you and what you can live without. For example, maybe a big kitchen is a necessity, but you're not really concerned about the size of the master bathroom.
Figure out your priorities so you know where to splurge and where to save.
Consider the Cost of Living
When you're choosing the location of your home, it's a good idea to calculate the cost of living before you make a decision.
If you really want to save money, it's a good idea to buy a house in an area that has a lower cost of living. Be sure to think about things like the average home price, property taxes, and the cost of necessities like gas and groceries.
Sell Your House Yourself
If you have the time and energy to do so, consider selling your current house yourself. That way, you get to skip paying a real estate agent a commission and you get to keep all the proceeds. That can put a lot of extra cash in your pocket.
Get Bids from Several Contractors
Don't just work with the first contractor you meet. Meet with several and get bids from each of them. That way, you can compare their rates and the work they do and choose the right person for the job.
Consider a Small, Open Space
It might be nice to have a big home. If you want to save money, though, bigger is not necessarily better.
One way to reduce the cost of your home is to build a smaller home and focus on an open floor plan. That way, it will still feel spacious even with relatively low square footage.
Use the Right Credit Card
Apply for a zero percent APR credit card when you're getting ready to begin the home building prices. You can use that card for some of the purchases related to your house, but you won't be charged any interest.
Use Online Retailers and Wholesalers
Shop online for furniture and appliances as much as possible. There are tons of deals available online, especially if you shop through online wholesalers. When you shop online, be sure to look for coupon codes, too, before you make any final decisions.
Source Your Own Materials
Talk to your contractor about sourcing your own materials like lumber and paint. Contractors often get good deals on materials, but it might be worth it to do your own research and try to get lower prices, too.
You might be able to get especially good deals if you buy at certain times of the year, such as during International Construction Week (ICW) 2019.
DIY When You Can
Finally, try to do as much as you can on your own.
Projects like the sink and toilet installation and laying your tile can really cut down on costs. You'll also get to enjoy the pride that comes from doing home renovation projects on your own!

What is Blood Pressure?
When do we say that a person(s) is suffering with Blood Pressure?
Blood Pressure also called as Hypertension has become a very common among us these days. Blood Pressure in short called as B. P. is one's systolic pressure and diastolic pressure measurements. If we consult a doctor he wraps a band around our biceps and records the measurement for example:- 120/80. Here 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure. One may be enigmatic over what are these systolic and diastolic pressures are? Let me explain you. . . .
Systolic pressure is the force exerted by the heart on the blood vessels when it pumps blood whereas Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of blood vessels when heart is relaxed. Both these measurements are important to make a note.
A person suffering from high values of these pressures is said to be having high B. P.
Well, with this understanding lets go deep and know the affects of B. P. But before that lets know the causes
Causes for B. P. ?
Over Anxiety, Enormous Exercises, Nervousness are some of the causes to have high reading of the measurements(systolic and diastolic pressures). Before knowing the affect of each of the above causes lets know what happens if we neglect this?Neglecting this may hampers one's health. We may face premature strokes and also heart attacks. It is advised to consult a Physician when the you feel uncomfortable.
Now lets know each factor causing BP in detail
Every one has blood pressure and this varies from individual to individual. Some may have High value which causes health problems. Researchers say that there are some factors which we cannot be controlled on the other hand we also have some factors that we can control in order to keep it in limits. Are you thinking "how can i lower my blood pressure?" So, lets know what are those factors that we can control.
Exercise makes oneself Healthy. Regular exercise contribute for well being and healthy body. A scheduled work out like walking, jogging, swimming, cycling will keep your body fit.
Another important factor is food, What we eat? And How much we eat? is very much a important concern in keeping ourselves healthy. Eating a Fibre rich, Fat low, high protein and Low Cholesterol food such as vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, mangoes, leafy vegetables, pulses etc. , will make us healthy. Try to avoid junk food which disturbs your appetite.
Alcohol & Smoking are another important factors on which we can have a regulation. Over consumption of alcohol will affect the human health. We don't say you to stop consuming it completely but limit yourself to a peg or two. We know that Smoking is Injurious to Health. Smoking causes peripheral vascular disease as well as hardening of the arteries. So stop smoking and let your life go rocking.
Add Salt to taste in your food because Excessive usage of Salt in your diet increases B. P. It seems to be puzzling, but its a fact. Sodium is the major content in salt. The human adult needs 1teaspoon of table salt per day on an average this amount to an equivalent of approximately 2 to 3 grams of salt. A low-sodium diet may decrease the likelihood of heart or kidney disease and stroke and also B. P.
If you still want to explore the ways to regulate your Blood Pressure levels or still thinking "How can I lower my blood pressure?" I recommend you to visit Blood Pressure Reduction Guide

Alabama's Elderly and Disabled (E & D) Medicaid Waiver program gives seniors who are frail, high-needs, and would qualify to be admitted to a 24-hour skilled nursing facility a way to afford to live outside of a nursing home. This waiver offers those who are 65 years of age and over, as well as disabled residents, financial assistance for ongoing personal care services at home or in the home of a friend or family member. Although the level of care and number of hours of care provided at home can never match the level of a residential medical center, seniors can receive additional help from friends and family caregivers to make sure that they are safe living at home. At the time of their application, seniors can be living at home, in the community, or within a skilled nursing home.
Under this waiver, individuals decide whether to have the state manage their care services or to self-direct their care services via a program called Personal Choices. Self-direction may also be referred to as consumer direction, participant direction, or the Cash and Counseling model. So long as the organization or the individual is a qualified waiver provider, an individual may choose that caregiver, including friends and relatives. However, there is one exception, spouses are not able to provide care.
The E & D waiver is administered by the Alabama Department of Senior Services and the Alabama Department of Public Health.
In order to qualify for the Elderly and Disabled Medicaid Wavier, one must be a resident of Alabama, be disabled or elderly, and require a level of assistance consistent with nursing home care. Seniors typically must demonstrate that they require partial or total assistance with some of their activities of daily living. Examples include safely getting washed up, the ability to move from a bed to a wheelchair, and correctly administering their medications.
Applicants must also qualify financially. In 2019, this means that an applicant must have gross monthly income less than $2,313. (This figure is equivalent to 300% of the SSI Federal Benefit Rate). If both spouses are applying for the E & D waiver, each spouse is considered as a single applicant. This means that each spouse can have up to $2,313 / month in income. Those who are over the income limit may still qualify by setting up a special income trust account, also called a Miller Trust or a Qualified Income Trust (QIT). In simple terms, applicants are able to direct some of their income exclusively towards medical or care costs. Married applicants with non-applicant spouses only count income in their name. Said another way, the income of a wife or husband who is not applying for Medicaid is not counted.
In addition to the income criteria, the countable asset (resource) limit is $2,000 if the applicant is single. If married, and both spouses are applying for the E & D waiver, the asset limit is $4,000. (Each spouse is able to retain up to $2,000 in assets).However, unlike with income, when only one spouse of a married couple is applying for Medicaid, assets are considered jointly owned. (Click here to learn more about how Medicaid views joint assets). That said, some assets are considered exempt, such as personal items, a vehicle, and one's home, given the applicant or the applicant's spouse lives in it and it is valued under $585,000 (in 2019). In addition, there are financial protections for an applicant's spouse, given the spouse is not also applying for the Medicaid waiver. With this protection, the non-applicant spouse, also called the community spouse, is permitted to protect some of the couple's savings from spend down. Currently, the maximum amount the non-applicant spouse is able to retain is $126,420.
Please note: The term "spend down" refers to spending down one's excess assets to meet the E & D's asset limit. Note:When "spending down", it is very important that one does not gift assets or sell them for less than they are worth. This is because Medicaid has a look back period, which is 5-years in Alabama. During this time frame, all past asset transfers are reviewed and if one has given assets away or sold them for under fair market value, it is a violation of the look back period. The penalty for violating this rule is a period of Medicaid ineligibility.
For some families, while their income and assets exceed the eligibility limits, they still cannot afford the cost of care. There is the option of working with a professional Medicaid planner to bring assets and income in line with the requirements. These individuals are knowledgeable about Medicaid law nuances in each state and can help to re-structure an individual's or family's excess income into Miller income trusts and maximize exempted assets. Find assistance to prepare for Medicaid.
The E&D Waiver's objective is to assist persons to live outside of nursing homes and to assist their loved one's in helping to care for them. Accordingly the benefits are selected to help the individual, their family and caregivers achieve this objective. Under this waiver, candidates are eligible to receive the following types of care and support.
The Elderly & Disabled Medicaid waiver is available statewide throughout Alabama. However, it is not an entitlement, like Medicaid's nursing home benefits. This means that even if one meets all of the requirements of the E & D waiver, they still might not be able to receive services. There are a limited number of slots available (9,355 in 2019), so in some areas there may be waiting lists for services. To learn more, download the rules and regulations here.
One can apply online for Medicaid in Alabama or by contacting their local Area Agency on Aging. To apply specifically for this waiver, persons who are already enrolled in Medicaid can call 1-800-AGE-LINE or 1-800-243-5463.

Many S'poreans have misconception that heart disease is a man's disease
A woman having her blood pressure checked.
Many Singaporeans have the misconception that heart disease is a man's disease, even when figures in 2011 showed that 29.6 per cent of females died of cardiovascular disease as compared to 31.7 per cent of men.
SINGAPORE: Many Singaporeans have the misconception that heart disease is a man's disease, said Minister of State for Health Dr Amy Khor on Saturday.
She noted that the misconception exists even when figures in 2011 showed that 29.6 per cent of females died of cardiovascular disease as compared to 31.7 per cent of men.
Dr Khor was speaking at a health event where the findings of the Women's Heart Health Awareness survey were shared.
The survey, through telephone interviews, was conducted by the Singapore Heart Foundation. It covered 995 respondents, between 21 and 64 years of age.
The findings were presented at the Singapore Heart Foundation's annual 'Go Red For Women' public symposium. The event called 'What Every Women Needs To Know' addressed lesser-known facts about heart disease.
The survey also showed that 37 per cent of respondents now own electronic blood pressure monitors, up from 30 per cent in 2009.
This indicated a higher level of awareness of blood pressure being a significant risk factor.
In addition, three-fifths of the respondents knew their good and bad cholesterol levels.
Most respondents (87%) understood that heart disease develops gradually over many years and can go undetected.
There was also a high level of agreement (88%) that exercise is one way to prevent or reduce risk of heart disease, followed by reducing stress (68%), reducing cholesterol (66%), and quitting smoking (61%).
The survey also showed that over 65 per cent of respondents exercise at least once a week.
But many women are still unaware that the onset of menopause increases the risk of heart disease, and that women and men experience different symptoms of a heart attack.
So to promote a healthy lifestyle for Singaporeans, the Health Ministry launched the Healthy Living Master Plan in March.
Parliamentary Secretary for Health, Dr Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, said: "People always link healthy living to having the time. Many have shared that since they are working and have lots of things to do, they don't have the time.
"As such, this is something we are working very closely, via the different agencies, to see how a healthy lifestyle can be natural and effortless. That means it's at their doorstep. We want to make facilities very close to their home."
According to the Singapore Heart Foundation, one area of concern is the level of health screening among Singaporeans.
So to encourage more Singaporeans to come forward to screen for their body fat, cholesterol and blood pressure, Nex shopping mall has set up a booth where they can do so for free this weekend.

Dear Ones at Home: Just a few lines to let you know that I am feeling better now than I have for some time and am getting fat on this English diet. I just took a good hot bath and shaved, so I feel much more like writing.
It rained almost all day yesterday and has been cloudy and gloomy so far today. We seem to have landed at the wrong time of the year, for pleasure or sightseeing anyway. Although I have seen enough of England to say that I don't want to make my home here. It seems to be the fad here to have a tooth out in front; it is on account of the water, so I want to move on as my teeth are good enough to say I never miss a meal. One of the boys in our room took the mumps; he has a slight case, so the nurse says, and of course it was my luck to get quarantined with them, but none of the rest have shown any signs of them so it won't be but three or four more days till we are turned out again. We have been laying around, eating three meals a day, not even having to wash our own dishes, but didn't get out of making our beds. I tell you, some of us that come back will make some of the girls ashamed of themselves in a house, even to cooking, as we all get a chance at kitchen work.
You would have a good laugh at our shoes as they weigh between three and four pounds apiece, not pair. They are more comfortable to march in than our civilian shoes were; that is one thing they are careful about in the army that everything fits good before you start across the pond. I have an outfit that I am proud of as it is well matched also. I am not stuck on our caps, as they are small—nothing to protect the eyes; we have to wear them on our ear like a tough guy; we will be tough also when we get a hold of the Kaiser—not putting on any then.
It rather looks now like we may never see Berlin. I want to see the job done up right as I don't want to have to come back in 10 years more and do it up right then, because when I take one more trip on the pond, I never want to leave the good old U. S. A. again ...
(From "In the World War")
ROY LEWIS GRAVES was born in Coryell, Texas, in October 1894. He moved to Sheridan in about 1915, going to work as a driver for the City Bakery. When he registered for the draft in June 1917, he was working as a grocery clerk for the Dollar Mercantile Company.
During the war, Graves served as an auto mechanic with the 27th Machine Gun Division. He served overseas in England and France before being honorably discharged in April 1919.
After the war, Graves returned to Sheridan and worked as a car repairman. He later found employment as a driver for various moving companies and, in 1942, held a position with the Holly Sugar Company. He died in 1969.
This letter, written on October 10, 1918, at Salisbury Green in Southampton, England, was published in The Sheridan Daily Enterprise on November 6, 1918. In it, Graves tells a little about life in an English hospital.

Ten things we can't-live-without under £10
This is our favourite product to remove our makeup. It is absolutely brilliant because it's cheap, it suits sensitive skin and it removes makeup quickly and easily. We don't mind spending some extra money on a cleanser but won't waste it by taking all our makeup off so use this first. If you don't have this in your daily routine and are still using baby wipes - make that change!!
So we've raved about this enough on our snapchat and Facebook already. This is our favourite hydration mask. Can you blame us at that price!! We try use this mask once a week on a pamper night. It's like giving your skin a glass of water. It is so hydrating and leaves your skin feeling smooth with a healthy glow. This product is in a league of it's own in the skin care industry.
We were always big fans of the Benefit mascaras (They're Real and Rollerlash) however, they are over double the price of this one which gives you the same if not better results. We will not be repurchasing the Benefit mascaras anytime soon. This mascara will give you that full lash effect with it's jet black formula and perfect wand shape.
Real Techniques Beauty Blender £5.99
We could not live without this tool anymore and is a must have for any makeup lover. It is definitely the best applicator for foundation and concealer. It saves you so much time and gives you the most even flawless finish. It makes foundations glide on so much better and is amazing for blending concealer with your foundation and general touch ups of harsh lines. Need we say anymore??
Our favourite lashes of all time!! If you are looking for that dream lash that achieves the perfect balance of natural/believable lashes and dramatic enough for going out - go no further! This lash suits any occasions and eye shape. They are a steal at this price and can be reused again and again.
Collection 2000 Concealer £4.19
We used to spend a fortune trying to find that perfect concealer. We would search for a concealer that wasn't too cakey but also had enough coverage to cover any blemishes or dark circles. We could not believe it when we discovered this gem. It is unbelievable!! If you purchase this - you won't regret it. We were shade 01 Fair.
We were always big fans of MAC Fix + Spray and still are however, our bank balances are certainly not. It is almost £20 for what we have to admit looks like 'water'. How could we justify that? Thankfully, LMD Makeup alerted us to the fantastic New Look Setting Spray which does exactly the same job, achieving the same results! It sets any powders on your face and will ensure that your makeup stays on those few extra hours.
Cocoa Brown Tanning Mitt £3.99
This tanning mitt is similar to the Bellamianta tanning mitt. It is so soft and enables your tan to glide onto the skin so much smoother. It not only makes the application process so much quicker but also easier compared to using the traditional tanning mitt. We would definitely recommend you pick one up the next time you are in Penneys. You will notice the difference in application and it also prevents your fingers and hands turning mahogany due to thin material!! (Big plus)
Cocoa Brown Golden Goddess £6.65
We've been talking about this product since it launched. We are HUGE fans. We can't stress how good this is. It gives you that Instagram filter effect in real life!! It makes you glow like nothing else and isn't drying on the skin. It makes your tan look more natural and sun kissed and gives your skin that healthy glow. What more do you want?
Anyone who hates brushing your hair - this will change your life!! It is revolutionary (LOL). They are brilliant, especially for children who hate getting their hair brushed. They are also useful for extensions and are compact allowing you to carry them in your bag. They do an amazing version for £2 in Home Bargains!!
We hope you enjoyed this post and let us know if you have some similar favourites or try out any of the above.

This short article has added the look of an industrial magazine to the Iranian market, which is worth reading especially for the marketing in Iran for foreign market values (here the AMI Institute) practices the Iranian market. Of course, some of the information is not correct (for example, the automotive industry is 10% of gross domestic product) and there is not much information on it. One point that can be learned from this lesson is that the Iranian costumers do not give enough information about their marketing due to expand marketing in a global level,
which makes it possible to look for opportunities to work with others of course with correct and enough data due to marketing in Iran, it is very important that the associations Various national and regional sectors have parts to produce information and update them and use them to negotiate with foreign companies that are now interested in Iranian market.
The end of the UN sanctions last year has spurred Iran's economy and created a potentiality for the growth of the plastic sector for marketing in Iran. In this report, the review of the Iranian market is from AMI's perspective.
The lifting of the United Nations special sanctions in 2016 (after a decade of investment and limited trade opportunities) means that Iran can now trade more freely with the international community and as the largest market for entry into the global economy, provide real potential for exporters in most sectors, including plastic materials and machinery in Iranian market. Commercial opportunities for marketing in Iran are due to many features that are:
• A population of about 80 million people (the second largest country in the Middle East after Egypt);
• Young population (60% of the population is estimated to be under the age of 30);
• Highly educated labor force;
• Abundant natural resources;
• Strategic position between western and eastern markets.
In 2016, the European Union exported more than 2.8 billion euros to Iranian market, up 27.8 percent from the previous year. Exports mainly consisted of machinery and transport equipment, chemicals and manufactured goods. EU imports from Iranian market have risen by almost 350%, although three-quarters have been related to petroleum products.
Among the biggest commercial advances by advertising in Iranian market, the contract with Airbus and Boeing aircraft manufacturers for delivery of about 200 aircraft to Iran and an agreement with the French automaker for the production of Peugeot Citroen (PSA) with an investment of 400 million euros with the participation of 50/50 Iranian companies have taken place. Recently, the French Total Oil Company, with the National Iranian Oil Company, has contracted to develop two oilfields with more than 30 oil wells. According to Total, the project value is estimated at 1.9 billion euros.
Plastic production
Foreign investment in Iranian market is expected to be an important opportunity for further development of petrochemical and plastic industries. Iran is currently a major oil and gas superpower with many of the suspended projects since the UN sanctions have been imposed in 2006, yet it still has a huge potential as a supplier of raw materials and polymers. It is expected to grow significantly with emerging partnerships and development plans to increase production after the lifting of sanctions, petrochemicals and plastics. Many global companies are eager to enter Iran's markets and have made initial travels to provide ground for participation or investment for marketing in Iran. Based on the vision of the government of Iran until 2025 for the country's economic growth and development, the country is seeking to become the largest petrochemical producer in the region and also the main supplier of downstream products such as paints, polymers and composites for companies which are or wish to be active in Iranian market.
The plastic industry is attractive
German sales manager Hans Weber, pointing to the desire of Iranians to grow and use new technologies, said: Good capacities in the Iranian plastic market are found for foreign companies. In this case marketing in Iran is not only a target for Germans but also for others. The important factor that has to be considered is companies need to have enough data and understanding out of Iranian market and they need to target this market with arranged advertisement in Iran. Tillo Ungern said at the 9th Iran International Plastic industry in a conversation with Shana's correspondent, referring to the 20-year presence of the German company's machinery in the Iranian market, there are now 20 to 35 old Weber companies in the lineup of Iranian companies. He added: "We will be attending the Iranian Plastic industry for the first time, but earlier in the past, I was attending a visit with my exclusive representative in Iran. Weber's sales director said: "I hope that in the future we will see the presence of more European companies at the Iranian market exhibition and the Iranian Polymer and Plastic Market. "I think, given the existing capacity in the Iranian plastic market, we can see a clear future for the polymer and plastic industry in Iran," Ungran said.
He added: Iranians are always looking for new machines and technologies, so there are many capacities in the Iranian market for companies which are active in the field of polymer and plastics. Weber GmbH, a manufacturer of extruders, has been operating in this field since 1920, and all parts and components of Weber's machinery are manufactured with 300 specialist staff and produced in Germany.

probably one of the better mario flash games that I've played. But I've got a problem with blatently ripping off of successful franchises on the sole fact that the only thing you did was program the game. none of these ideas or images or music are yours. they were all ripped from somewhere else. Try some creativity instead of ripping off of nintendo's work eh?
Pretty good, but the acceleration and movement speed is crap.
it was... fun i guess...
This is pretty cool, its kinda like a kid version of the REAL Super Mario, but its still awesome my computer had lag so i really couldn't fully enjoy it, but from the looks of it and trying to surpass the lag the game is awesome, Great Job

Do you want to share your ideas through writing but hesitate because you're not sure how they will be received or if you're ready to communicate them? The truth is, if you have the desire to write, then you're ready. And, it's time to get started. If you don't get started now, you're never going to do it.
One of the biggest aha moments in my business came to me a couple years ago when a coach asked me, "What are you waiting for?" I realized two truths:
- I was withholding a God-given message and talent from executives and business experts who want help writing well.
- I was hiding out due to self-doubt and a need for others' approval.
Countless CEOs and entrepreneurs who could benefit from authorship would never have the chance to learn from me, and that loss would be my own undoing. It was a startling and sober moment.
Despite my initial reluctance, the choice was clear. I had to broadcast what I was offering in a big way or suffer the consequence of my business completely disappearing.
If you want to broaden your impact, you have to get visible.
As a writing consultant to CEOs, I've helped over 60 clients become visible by writing about their lives and their expertise. They've written books, white papers, articles, blogs, and letters. By doing so, they inform, educate and inspire others.
Often, they begin projects with enthusiasm but when it comes to seriously "stepping up to the plate" and putting their message out there, they get bogged down and freeze. That's when I receive a phone call asking for help.
They want to connect with their target audience on a regular basis and they know that writing is a tool to make that happen, but they get stuck. Why?
One recurring challenge is they lack clarity about their professional "point-of-view." Or if they know their point of view, they aren't confident about sharing it with the world.
What is "point-of-view?"
Point of view is "the position from which something is viewed." It refers to your personal perspective, vision, or message and is the foundation of how you serve your customers. Often, people discover their point of view by looking at the challenges they've faced and overcome. For example, my biggest challenge in life—personally and professionally—has been about being fully visible. Verbally sharing what I think, feel and believe has been one of my biggest life challenges; staying quiet was much more comfortable than risking being challenged and feeling that I had to defend my opinion.
As an entrepreneur, I've taken on this challenge and have built a successful consulting practice. A "must do" exercise was becoming crystal clear about my professional point of view:
Be visible or disappear…the choice is yours!
I know firsthand what it takes to make the choice. Like me, many of my clients face the choice daily as they carry out a strategy to elevate their visibility through writing. They write to be visible and to claim their position as an expert and thought leader. Knowing their point-of-view—their core message—is a springboard that catapults their writing, as well as your business.
Why is it important to identify your point-of-view?
Being crystal clear about your point-of-view gives you confidence and clarity to share what you want to say and offer your services widely. If you understand your message and have confidence about why it matters, your writing will reflect the truth of expertise. Readers resonate with that kind of authenticity. They'll want to know more. You'll build a community and attract the clients you desire.
How do you discover your point-of-view and write it on the page?
In my work, I begin to help authors discover their point-of-view by asking them a series of questions, drilling into the core of what they truly want to communicate and what's blocking them from saying it. Consider the following:
- Who are you?
- Who is your audience?
- What do you offer your audience to solve a real problem?
- Observe yourself as you interact with your audience. What do you say to them?
- Do you repeat the same message?
- What is the recurring challenge you face in your life?
- How does that challenge relate to how you serve your audience?
Your answers to these questions will help you discover your unique professional point of view and could help you get unblocked and elevate your writing to the level you desire. Step back and look at your answers. What has been reveled? Most of all, have fun with the discovery process.
I would love to talk with you about your point of view. I invite you to schedule a complimentary strategy session with me using this link to my calendar: KarenLynnMaher.YouCanBook.Me

Home : 2002 : Jul : 16
A teacher freind of mine does the farm theme..... I like her discipline system that she keeps on her wall. She has a green pasture where all the children have a horse with their name on it at the beginning of each day. This represents an A in conduct. She then has three corrals that are fenced in different colors. If a child misbehaves their horse is moved into the corrals with time-out taken from recess(B,C,D). At the end of the row is a barn if the child's horse is moved into the barn that is an F in conduct for the day. A real cute system. Oh, she has letters above it that say "We Don't Horse Around"

Last week I attended my first meeting with my local Chamber of Commerce. It was a great experience and it went better than what I had anticipated. Been though week mentally and I've fallen behind on some work. I've taken a closer look at Drip this week as well. And as special treat, Kurt Elster has hooked you up with a $20 discount on Drop Profits! Sign up to claim your $20 discount in the box to the right.
A rather slow week for me. Been a bit mentally drained and I need to get back in focus. So I decided to get myself some notebooks to get myself away from the computer. And to empty my brain so to speak. Often when I'm out walking and listening to podcast, great ideas pops into my head and I never write them down anywhere. I don't like to use my iPhone for this, I'm old fashioned that way I guess. So a little notebook is in my pocket (with a pen) so I can write down what ever comes to mind. I bought a bigger one as well for more detailed ideas. Usually I sit down with this to clear my head for about an hour or so couple of times a week.
Got a lot of catching up to do this next week, so I made a to-do list for each day this coming week with just a couple of task each day. That way it won't get too much and it's doable.
Been looking into email marketing and landed on Drip after joining Philip Morgan's Dripsherpa mailing list and getting Drip Profits. I also managed to get 30 minute free consultation with Philip on how to use Drip. Awesome guy and he helped with getting started. From the looks of it, Drip seems like a really powerful email marketing tool.
At the meeting with my local Chamber of Commerce I connected with three people. My goal for these meeting is to not sell anything, just make new connection and figure out what they struggle with when it comes to marketing through the web
If you would like to learn more about how you can make profits by using Drip I highly recommend checking out Drip Profits created by my online friends Kurt Elster and Chad Fullerton.

Cambridge Analytica, the company at the centre of last year's data scandal, is to go on trial accused of ignoring a Data Protection Act enforcement notice.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) says the controversial election consultancy failed to comply with a legal notice ordering it to respond to a subject access request submitted by US-based academic professor David Carroll in 2017.
The trial is due to begin at Hendon Magistrates' Court tomorrow (Wednesday, January 9).
Proceedings earlier began on October 3, when the company entered a not guilty plea.
Professor Carroll had asked for copies of all the personal information Cambridge Analytica held relating to him, along with an explanation as to the source of the data and its usage by the company.
After being dissatisfied with the response from Cambridge Analytica, Professor Carroll complained to the ICO.
The ICO said Cambridge Analytica subsequently refused to address its questions and "incorrectly" argued that Professor Carroll had no legal entitlement to information because he wasn't a UK citizen or based in that country.
A legal notice to comply with the data request was served on SCL Elections Ltd – part of the SCL Group, the parent company of Cambridge Analytica – in May 2018.
When the terms of notice were not complied with by the deadline of June 3, the ICO decided to pursue criminal proceedings.
Last year it was revealed that Cambridge Analytica used personal information harvested from 87 million Facebook accounts.
An app called This Is Your Digital Life harvested the users' data, which was then obtained by the consultancy and used to build an algorithm delivering targeted political adverts based on the user's psychological profile.
The ICO later fined Facebook £500,000 for breaches of the Data Protection Act following a wide-ranging investigation into the use of data analytics for political purposes.
Facebook said it would lodge an appeal against the fine.
Cambridge Analytica and SCL Elections Ltd have since stopped trading and gone into administration.

Industry News: New Study Shows ROI for Safety Spending
Several studies in the past have shown that organizations gain a net return on investment for dollars spent on workplace safety, for examples see the list compiled by OSHA. A recent study published by Fabius et al in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine supported this conclusion. The abstract to the article is shown below:
Objective: To test the hypothesis that comprehensive efforts to reduce a workforce's health and safety risks can be associated with a company's stock market performance.
Methods: Stock market performance of Corporate Health Achievement Award winners was tracked under four different scenarios using simulation and past market performance.
Results: A portfolio of companies recognized as award winning for their approach to the health and safety of their workforce outperformed the market. Evidence seems to support that building cultures of health and safety provides a competitive advantage in the marketplace. This research may have also identified an association between companies that focus on health and safety and companies that manage other aspects of their business equally well.
Conclusions: Companies that build a culture of health by focusing on the well-being and safety of their workforce yield greater value for their investors.
"The Link Between Workforce Health and Safety and the Health of the Bottom Line: Tracking Market Performance of Companies That Nurture a "Culture of Health""; Fabius, R.; Thayer, R.D.; Konicki, D.L.; Yarborough, C.M.; Peterson, K.W.; Isaac, F.; Loeppke, R.R.; Eisenberg, B.S.; Dreger, M.; Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine September 2013 – Volume 55 – Issue 9 – p 993–1000

Nerium AD Age-Dyfying Treatment
This is my blog post on Nerium Age-Defying Treatment: I was contacted by Jennifer Sena and asked if I wanted to do a blog post about this product, I wasn't exactly sure what Nerium was until I read about it. I received the package and was excited to do the 5 night Challenge, I always like seeing superb results when it come to my wrinkles and fine lines. The first thing I noticed about the cream was that it smelt like tree bark, keep in mind that this product is made with all natural ingredients so that explains the smell. I will post a link where you can go read the ingredients list if I have left you curious. After the 5 days of using Nerium, my skin began to feel tighter, when I looked in the mirror I could automatically see a difference, and the softness it provided my skin was incredible, I am still using this product and hope to see more visible results as time goes by. The website has a photo gallery where you can go and view other customers before and after pics, the difference is truly amazing.
If you would like more information on this product or want to try it for yourself, contact Jennifer today and she will be happy to help you.

The 11th Frame: New USBC Open Championships challenges handled successfully by our 11thFrame.com teams

When I told my girlfriend Susie "Fever" Dyhr that our 11thFrame.com teams had a successful 2017 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships, she disagreed with a simple statement: "But you're not winning." She hasn't yet yielded to the reality that our days of winning Eagles likely are over, as Steve Richter is the only one of our 10 guys under age 50, with several of us getting into our mid-50s. In addition, USBC's new PBA player rules starting...

In my previous post on Bubble Diagrams and Mind Mapping I mentioned the confusion between these thinking tools.
Well another common confusion I often encounter is that Mind Mapping is described as "brainstorming".
Now whilst it can be used for brainstorming, Mind Mapping has so many other applications as well so defining it in such a restrictive way is rather limiting.
How To Use Mind Maps for Brainstorming
So what I want to do in this post is give you some idea how you can use Mind Mapping for Brainstorming, creativity and the generation of ideas.
I am not going to get into pure definitions of creativity (and the closely linked issue of innovation) but suffice it to say that in the context I shall be using the term, we will focus on it being the generation of new ideas.
Now ideas do not simply appear out of thin air.
In general terms an existing idea will trigger off a new idea.
Creativity is about taking these ideas and organising them in a new and unique way.
Now the brain generates ideas all the time based on the stimulus it has and the associations it makes.
In principle the brain organises its ideas through association and it does that in one of two ways.
First of all if I give you an idea to think about, it will be the trigger for these two processes.
I will break them down individually but left to its own devices the brain will do both simultaneously.
In a deliberate creative processes you can force the brain to do either but naturally it will take whichever course it chooses.
So what are those two processes?
One Thing Leads To Another…
This first mechanism is where one idea triggers another, which in turn triggers another and that one then triggers a third idea and so on.
Now whilst the first idea and the second idea will be related by whatever association they have between them (and that can be absolutely anything), the first idea and the third idea will only be related by their common link to the second idea and then when you get to the fourth idea it will have absolutely no association with the first idea in terms of the context of this information flow.
Boy that sounds complicated.
Let's see if a picture works here.
So in this example with a starting point of "Water" this triggers the idea "Tap" and that in turn stimulates the idea "Plumber" which triggers "Van" and so on.
Now I must stress these are my associations and whilst you might see the connections between each adjacent word, it does not matter if you don't because this is a reflections of the associations that take place in my mind.
And again this association chain is not fixed because on a different day with the same starting word, it is likely I will come up with a different set of associations.
So the principle is that one idea triggers another and is the mechanism that is responsible for you saying things like "Oooh that reminds me" (please delete the "Oooh" and replace it with your exclamation of choice).
So what is the other way the brain the processes and generates association?
We Are All Related…
If we start with an idea then as before we will come up with a second idea.
But instead of letting this second idea trigger a third idea we go back to idea #1 and see what other ideas it triggers and we keep repeating that process.
Mmmm, time for another diagram…
So now the idea water triggers off a bunch of other ideas but all related back to water.
This is the other way that the brain processes association.
Now I have described these two processes in isolation but in reality the mind will crackle and sizzle and can and will make hundreds of not thousands of different associations across a combination of these two mechanisms from a particular starting point.
Now if we combine these two together, we end up with a structure of this form:
You know that looks remarkably like a Mind Map!
So when someone says to you "Mind Mapping is great because it represents on paper how the mind thinks" – this is exactly what they mean (though chances are they won't know that).
How to Use Mind Mapping For Brainstorming
As you can see from above, Mind Mapping is a graphical representation of the way we generate and organise our ideas in our brain.
So it is a great choice to use when we want to generate more ideas and here is how to use for that:
Step 1 – Take a piece of blank paper, turn it landscape (ideally) and write your starting idea in the centre of the page
Step 2 – when your first idea comes to mind, add it as a main branch to your fledgling mind map.
Step 3 – when your second and subsequent ideas come to mind either add them to an existing branch (if they are related) or start a new branch if there is no logical place to put your new idea.
Step 4 – keep repeating the above process until you have got more ideas than you think you will ever need.
You can add to this process by overlaying other creativity strategies to stimulate more ideas but you still capture them using Mind Mapping.
Doing this with hand drawn mapping works very well and if you use mind mapping software you have the added advantage of being able to quickly and easily sort and re-organise your ideas.
Try brainstorming, Mind Mapping your ever growing number of ideas as you do so and let me know how you get on.

Clergy calls for peaceful Ekiti poll
Politicians have been advised to exercise caution this time around that another governorship election is around the corner.
This charge was handed down at the Thanksgiving program held by the state chairman of The All Progressives Congress (APC) Jide Awe for the withdrawal of the murder charges slammed on him by the state government which made him go underground for over three years.
Jide Awe, however, promised that the coming election will be devoid of violence and rancour while asking all relevant agencies to also play their part in making the poll a free and credible one.
A clergyman at the event, Daniel Oyedele charged politicians to shun violence and make the development of the state a priority.

Transit service: Penticton to Kelowna AAP
From time to time BC Transit does a study and decides this or that route would be worth establishing. Recently, BC Transit decided a Penticton-Kelowna route would make sense.1 This is good news for the South Okanagan because BC Transit (read: taxpayers in the rest of British Columbia) heavily subsidizes rural transit routes. I don't have the exact numbers on hand, but think of the cost of each ride being allocated roughly in this way:
- BC Transit pays 50%
- local taxpayers pay 40%
- riders (through their fares) pay 10%
Transit is clearly not user-pay. Transit in this region is about 90% subsidy (versus closer to 50% subsidy in Vancouver2). Like everyone else, I see the empty buses around Penticton and wonder if any subsidy is warranted. A single one-way trip along the new BC Transit/RDOS route to OK Falls costs local taxpayers about $30. It would be cheaper to scrap the service and book an Uber for anyone wanting to make the trip3. And Uber is door-to-door on demand!
But, on the other hand, the local subsidy is smaller than the BC Transit subsidy and it is very hard to turn down free money. The deciding factor for me in voting in favor of the Penticton-Kelowna service is that the service might actually be useful for some people. I don't think it will be particularly popular for students attending UBCO or OK College in Kelowna. No student wants to spend 4 hours/day on a bus (longer if Peachland and West Kelowna buy into the service and demand stops of their own 4). However, I am sure others will make use of the service for less-routine trips for shopping, the Kelowna hospital, and so on.
The next step in moving this forward is public assent for the establishment of a transit service. Basically, citizens have to give the RDOS permission to create a service area (a map of properties showing who pays and who does not pay) and set an upper bound on the tax rate. The proposed service area, as it currently stands, includes the entire RDOS (including the Similkameen). This is because RDOS board members from the Similkameen see the Penticton-Kelowna route as a complement to existing services from their areas into Penticton. In principle, one will be able to take a (heavily subsidized) transit bus from Princeton to Kelowna.
There are two ways to obtain public assent: A full referendum (opt in) or alternative approval process (opt out). In my view, a full referendum on this issue would be a tragic waste of time and money. The stakes are very low. According to RDOS staff estimates, here is the per-household cost of the subsidy for the route:
Given this, the RDOS board has decided to move forward with an alternative approval process in which people who really cannot stand the thought of paying $4/year5 to subsidize a Penticton-Kelowna bus route can register their objection. If enough people are of the same mind, the RDOS must either abandon the service area or call a full-scale referendum on the issue.
Details of the alternative approval process are below. Note that the deadline for registering opposition is August, 31, 2018.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
1 BC Transit's expansion into inter-urban routes is one of the reasons cited by Greyhound for Grexit (Greyhound's decision to cease operations in BC).
2 The Vancouver (and even Kelowna) situations are a bit different than ours in the South Okanagan due to the heavier congestion and parking issues in those cities. Non-users of transit in big cities have strong incentives to subsidize transit use by other people because, if other people are taking transit, they are not clogging roads or hogging all the best parking spots.
3 Oh yeah, BC does not have Uber. Pretty much the only place on the planet that doesn't allow it. I guess BC residents can't be trusted to handle it.
4 The Peachland portion of Highway 97 between Penticton-Kelowna is a major bottleneck and embarrassment. I see it as a significant impediment to investment in the Okanagan south of the Coquihalla/Okanagan Connector junction. There are apparently plans to fix this stretch of highway, but it will be many years before we see any action.
5 This is an average. Everyone pays the same rate per $1,000 of assessed value (land + improvements). But assessed values tend to be higher in Area F than most other areas, so we pay more (on average) than most other areas.

The leading lady of a theatre company touring New Zealand was stunningly beautiful. No one-including her lover-understood why she married the company's pudgy producer. But did she rig a huge jeroboam of champagne to kill her husband during a cast party?
Did her sweetheart? Or was another villain waiting in the wings? On a holiday down under, Inspector Roderick Alleyn must uncork this mystery and uncover a devious killer…
Number 5 in the Alleyn series, and it's pre-Troy. Alleyn takes a long holiday to New Zealand, falls in with a touring acting company and gets pulled into investigating the murder of one of the Company's owners.
The book sets up characters that are repeated in later books (e.g. the Noble Aboriginal Doctor). As usual the investigations take part over the following 48 hours after the death of the main character and there is a lot of interviewing of the secondary characters, including the dead man's wife, the man who was in love with her, the drunken ex-actor/door manager etc.
Marsh split her time between England and New Zealand, and her love of the latter country is evident, especially at the end – the New Zealand tourist board should dig out these books again and make sure they're pride of place!

It's easy to get in a rut when dining in Spain. However, Spanish cuisine is incredibly varied when you decide to extend beyond the staples. Factor in that most of Spain is bordered by the sea and it increases your chances of finding something you had never heard of. On my last trip there, one such discovery was the tortilla de camarones. When my wife told me, according to her pre trip research, that the place in Sanlúcar in which we were seated was famous for them, I was skeptical. Shrimp in a tortilla? It sounded kind of low on the texture scale. Plus, I'm a tortilla purist and the thought of sticking anything other than the essentials (egg, potato, onion) in a tortilla is just a distraction. Luckily, a couple of tables down, the folks ordered an unidentified plate of something heaping and fried and it piqued my curiosity. I went to the counter at Casa Balbino and ordered a plate of the tortilla de camarones for two and another couple glasses of La Gitana. I waited and was greeted with this:
It's not a tortilla in the classic sense but an incredibly airy, perfectly seasoned, fried nest of whole baby shrimp. The crunch of the batter mixed with the shell of the shrimp reminded me of softshell crab – without the unfortunate mush that sometimes accompanies the latter. It was incredible. The Manzanilla cut though the grease perfectly and I had no problem devouring the majority of the plate. My wife enjoyed it as well but is not quite as adventurous of an eater as I am especially when it comes to baby shellfish. Still, she said she loved it. (Maybe I just didn't give her a chance to eat more!)
Spain is a big country and the amount of culinary diversity is immense. Tortilla de camarones is a standout, however. If you ever find yourself in a restaurant where it is served, order it – and don't forget the manzanilla.

Welcome to the world wide Anything But the Holidays Blog Hop. This amazing blog hop has been organised by the fabulous Janet Wakeland. I've been so lucky to spend some time with her this year in April and July! Today we're sharing some new items from the Autumn / Winter catalogue but with a twist; none of the projects relate to Autumn / Winter! Yep, we're mixing it up here with some creative sharing about what else you can use these beautiful products for long after the winter has passed!
Anything But the Holidays – Wedding Card
I love the new Brightly Lit Christmas bundle in the catalogue (page 29) and so decided to see what else I could make with it. Look how different it looks with Fresh Fig, Very Vanilla and Gold as a Mr & Mrs Wedding Card! I chose the large gold, almost animal print, design from the Bundle of Love Speciality Designer Series Paper pack as my background. I die cut the lamppost in Fresh Fig. Then used the dies to cut out the glass for the lanterns in new Champagne Foil (A/W Catalogue page 37). Using Champagne makes them stand out from the gold. Then I used the Mr & Mrs from the Cheers to the Year stamp set (A/W Catalogue also page 37) for the banner. Stamp & emboss each element (Mr, &, Mrs) separately onto the banner. Using the Stampa-ma-jig makes it easy!
Add some more luxury with the metallic edged ribbon and this is a gorgeous card to celebrate an autumn or winter wedding. In fact it will work all year round too! I wanted to really show the gold foiling – so I apologise for the creaminess of my photos! The sun was uber bright today!
I hope you've enjoyed my Anything but the Holidays card! If you're in the UK and don't have a demonstrator I'd be delighted to be yours and send you your very own new Autumn / Winter catalogue. Click here and pop in your details to get YOUR copy!!
