Car rental

In my country Nigeria,transportation business has always been a money spinner.
It used to be ran by mostly not so educated enterprenuer who gave little or no attention to organisation and laid down operational procedure.

In those days we used to have bus assistance aka condutors who harrased us in varoius manners ranging from squeezing more passender into seats that were made for fewer people,Asking you to enter with a exact fare or else they withhold your change if you didnt.or even deciding to take any route they please without caring whether they are taking you out of your way.Infact the list of complaints are endless.

These days a lot of educated enterprenures have come into the business of transportation with a wealth of experience in business procedures and policies.
These new enterprenure have brought with it finesse and good customer relationship that gets users coming for more patronage.

The business is profitable but with it comes some many challenges which will be examined later.

Writting a blog

I was kind of lethergic today. I was torn between going to see my

therapist or staying at home to update my blog.

It worries me so much that I have this self-satisfaction being around my home.

Several times I have psychoanalysed myself but each time I ended up

without answers. That is why I said that I would make the most out of

writing this blog.

Blog writting is not easy. First you have to think of topics that will

captivate your readers. Next you will have to generate the readers all by

yourself.

After six days into blog writting people are yet to read my posts.

In my naivety I thought that I will get readers as fast as I had google

posting ads on my blog .

How wrong I was. Iam yet to get one "passing reader".

Challenged by this , I decided to check out ways other bloggers generated

their readers.

I was advised to do some or all of the following.

1 Sign up on networking forums

2 Read other blogs and leave your comment attaching a link to your site

3 Ping my posts(very important)

4 Attach my site link onn every outgoing email.

5 Join social networks like facebook,twitter and post you link

6 Use Google webmaster tools

7 Pay some networks to drive traffic to your site.

8 Finally write,publish and update useful and rich topics.

I have followed some of these guides and Iam waiting patiently for my

first reader.

Newbie

I had this connection that I made my partner pay huge monthly sum for each

month when I decided to work part-time.

I thought of different ways I could make money out of this huge investment

as well as keep correspondence with the company I work part-time for.

I tried to signup for online businesses that promise get rich quick

rewards but found out that they just corner you into buying a chain of

packages thatyeild nothing at the end.

For instance there was this guy that kept on sending invitations for me to

buy into his package. The pressure was just too much that I caved in.

This package was captioned 'get paid $20 per hour typing form home'I

actually thought that once I signed up it would link me to the jobs and I

will be on my way to earning money from home.

Needless to tell you that it did not work that way because as soon as I

signed up I was led to another website which seemed to be a job search

page .


My bio-data were requested for and after filling in my other particulars I

was led to another company website which said I should bid for the jobs.

To cut long story short I soon I realised that there was no job on ground.

I had fallen victim to someone's scam.

I know there are real online jobs out there but one has to be careful.

Each time I get an offer that is too good to be true I type in some words

of the offer letter on my browser.

The web search result will show similar offer comments/reviews then will I

decide whether to go for it or not.

After serching into viable online businesses I found out the google ad

sense is a legitimate way to make money online.

Google ads are simply placed on your website and any of your readers who

click on them earns you some money and when they go further to buy the

displayed item you get some commissions too.

I just launched this blog just recently. Before this time I have tried

writting a blog as a newbie but was intimidated by some of the web

acroymms and terms encountered.

I have neither web development skills nor computer skills. I simply

learned the little I know now out of reading up articles about blog design-

-Iam still learning.

It is no mean feat but I will get there -so long as I have my laptop and internet connection still available

I will be sharing with you some of the new and web related wordsand their

meaning.

It is a whole new world of learning and I will not be daunted in any way.

I will keep you posted soon.

Body magic

I really don't know what I would have done if I were hugely endowed;because I hardly have time to engage in some form of excecise other than vigorous dancing.

I mean look at all that women go through in a bid to lose those fat I mean calories I really hate to use the word fat.

So let us put some dignity into it and call it calorie burning.
Calorie accumulation is as result of poor eating habit and a sedentary lifestyle.
Yes one should really be engaged all the time except during the recommended sleep period of 6-7 hrs per day.
Now I learnt that the average person sleeping an average number of hours a night(106lb,8hrs) will burn about 549 calories .Which means that people burn less calories when they sleep.

If you eat more calories than you burn you will have fat in all the liposuctional areas. The best way to burn fat quickly is to do morning workouts.
The morning workouts keep your metabolism elevated throughout the day. An elevated metabolism throughout the day means that you will burn more calories and lose more weight.

Morning work out is best recommended for everyone.
The trick is that the carbs you piled yourself up with during the day get used up the entire nite while you sleep therefore any morning work out will act on the the fat that have been deposited.

Avoid eating breakfast before workout otherwise the excise would act on the carbs you just ate instead of on the fat deposit.

It requires discipline and determination to burn those calories off once.

I mean I doff my hat to those who succeed.
It is no child's play really.

But wait a minute there is an alternative that has just been introduced into the market.
This device burns off calories without exercising or dieting. You just simply put it on and that's it.

This girdle now controls the quantity of food you eat. Unbelievable but it is true.
Body magic Body Magichas come to the rescue of several plus size women who find exercising strenuous and who can not find the time.
Once you wear it you immediately drop down two sizes.
With so many products now offering quick weight loss.... I think body-magic is the leader.

How to arrange your books

So you are done with reading that book and you think you will not have recourse to it again, well you are wrong because sooner than later you will need it.

Books are just like those old dresses we were done with hence kept away; when we reach out for them again they look so new and refreshing.

Iam going to share with you the secrets to keeping those printed matters in good condition. Who knows you might one day be the only one with such information. Seriously your preserved books could become the only information source in addition to being of a benefit to your generation to come.

Books are arranged better in book shelves though some people may choose to store their books in boxes but except you are relocating i do not recommend you put your books in boxes this is because;

They can be squeezed out of form
Some book colours can bleed out of temperature rise while in enclosures.

I recommend you first sort your books according to nature(genre). For instance history/bibliography,cook books, fictions encyclopeadia etc .This is further sorted into sizes. Some people may choose to sort their books according to colours. It all depends on what you want to achieve.

Bookshelves can be both standing or wall hinged.The wall hinged are my favourite .They are best for children's bedrooms.Arrange the books as you have sorted them.

Books of same genre should be placed according to size . With the largest at the bottom- titled narrow side(spinx) facing out-this will make for easy identification.

One snag about this arrangement is that it becomes difficult to remove when you need to. But then you have to sweat a little for what you want-just a little.

If you still have space left after arranging your books you can place ornaments accordingly.

Remember to dust your books form to time to prevent build up of dirts.

You may have your own easy way of arranging your books . Just thought I should share mine.

How not to use the internet

Awesome GodIf you are like me who spend so much time on the Internet then you will benefit from this article. It is meant to act as a guide on how to have quality and resourceful time on the Internet.

There were days I spent on the net without realising that I was just wasting precious Internet time by gathering nothing at the end of the day.

Those days are gone Iam happy to say but I learnt a lot from it and that is what i want to share with you my dear readers on this page.

I realised albeit belatedly that all those good old days and time if spent wisely would have made me the highest paid Internet marketer.However, it is better late than never.

View the Internet as a big marketplace where if you are not well guided will likely get lost in. Just like we have tour guides think of me as your Internet guide.
Therefore before you log on please write down all you want to do on the Internet.

Except for links that you think will help in your online activity do not click on any as this may be a form of distraction.

Do not give into the urge to "just see" whats on offer.Internet publishers just like their counterparts in the market place use sensational and captivating descriptions for their wares.

In the past when I followed these urges I found out that from this link I got into another and another and finally lost the reason why I logged on in the first place.

Most annoying are the pop ups that tell you you have won screen savers and all that just simply ignore them and move on.If you come across a site you think will be helpful to you often bookmark it.

Try not to click on video presentations when you have text as alternative. Videos take a long time to open more so when you have a slow connection.

But if it becomes absolutely necessary that you open then do it on another window so that you can still be on your first window to read other information while your video opens at its own pace.

Another trick I use is letting the video run its full course then I replay. This way the video loads faster and and not buffer.

Kitchen Storage Stickers

Most of the dry food ingredients we buy from the grocery stores or those home made ones that sometimes do not get used up in one meal means that we may like to save it for another day. This means that we might need to store them in jars and containers having inadvertently torn their wraps up or made more than you need for one meal.You dont need to worry because I have thought of a careful and more organised way to keep them handy.Good old labelling will keep us remembering what is in each can or jar.we will be needing plain kitchen stickers .These you can find at bookstores.The plain ones will be appropriate as you will be hand printing on them.Alternativley you can print from your computer.

Items you need:

Plain colourful sticker (be sure to buy non glossy surface,alternatively you can cut some plain printing papers to size.
Pen (dark colour)
Adhesive (if you are using cut to size printing papers).

Gather all your materials together and start hand printing in block letters the ingredient name and the date it was prepared.keeping it brief and readable and centralised.
eg:JAM
1/3/10

SALT
24/7/10

The import of the date is to keep you informed about when it is no longer safe to use the ingredient.Be sure to place the sticker at the center of the storage can or container.For cut out printing papers apply the adhesive at the ends of the paper so as not to run the ink of the pen.Arrange your storage according to height as this will make for easy accessibility.
While those requiring cold storage should be kept in the refrigerator.
The tips expressed on this page is not final, let me know your own way of labelling.
