Witchy World

April Fool’s Day is all about pranks and practical jokes. Are you going to play April hoaxes? It’s really a great amusement. Traditional pranks such as sudden shower, salt surprise, tricky coin and avalanche are not bad for fooling an April fish. But they may seem a bit stale to surprise veteran victims. In contrast, a creative prank would be much better to get someone duped. There are cans of imaginative juices on April Fools. One fresh idea I would like to introduce is to create an April Fool’s prank video from PowerPoint. Videos are now the apple of the netizens’ eye. If you are a computer user, you may get engaged in a sea of funny videos on YouTube during your daily surfing online. You may wish you made a staggering video and showed it to the whole world. And of course, you can easily realize that if armed with a video camera. What if you haven’t got such a camera? Still, you can do it – simply employ MS PowerPoint to create a gag video. Other than content authoring for office meetings and school teaching, PowerPoint works magic in game creating as well. It must be a challenging fun to compose your crafts into a living hoax using PowerPoint. Put your April prank into PowerPoint, and take full advantage of those dynamic animations and wipes, shapes and graphics to make an eye-catching presentation. IMPORTANT: Please avoid adding in elements (e.g. race sensitive, discriminated) that may hurt or harm the feelings your victims while editing in PowerPoint. Nevertheless, you may have to take up a medium to convert the prank presentation to video format as PowerPoint itself lacks the function of saving as video. One of your best assistants is PowerPoint to Video Converter, a dedicated software tool to clone your PowerPoint prank to streamline video within one mouse click. Simply use the software to realize conversion from PowerPoint presentation to video. Then you can upload your April Fool’s prank onto YouTube, email it to a friend or co-worker, and connect it to a portable to share with your family.That is the way that a creative mind takes to celebrate 2009 April Fool’s Day ?Simply with a crisp prank video out of productive PowerPoint. Sounds saucy, isn’t it? So set out your genius of joking and craft a gag video game as gift for the April Fool’s festival.

If you did, is it possible for you to use this gift to benefit all related parties? Each of us possesses a unique gift (at least one), and most of the time, only WE know what it is. If YOU could read minds, you could create massive value in life by helping others to SEE this gift and assist them to act on it to bring about The Fresh Picture in their mind, tangibly into the world.

Working together in unity, as a Team, is a process, which, when sustained, could create a champion entity (your business/life) … guaranteed no … Possible yes! Examining the synergistic result of many individual’s unique gifts together, WOW … I can’t begin to tell you what could happen and how your life can be better. BEWARE! … use Discernment, be ever vigilant to continual improvement … using each day to build upon the previous.

Ear training is definitely the biggest key to becoming a better musician, songwriter, composer, and/or singer. Why is it so important to improving one’s musical abilities? Because music is a hearing art. You can only play, write, and sing as well as you can hear.There are two types of ear training. The first is relative pitch ear training and the second is absolute pitch ear training. What’s the difference between these two?Relative pitch recognition is the ability to recognize the relationship between two or more notes. An example of this type of skill is the ability to know what type of chord is being played. Another example is to know the interval between two notes that are played.A person with relative pitch skills would not know what the exact chord was (for example a G Major 7th chord) he would only know what type of chord it is (Major 7th) unless of course he had a reference to go off of.Perfect pitch recognition is the ability to know exactly what a note is simply by hearing it “cold” without any reference at all. A good singer with perfect pitch can sing any note on command. For example you could ask them to sing a C and they would be able to do it, even without any reference at all (no music to sing along to.)The ability of perfect pitch recognition was long though to be something that could not be developed. It was thought that it was thought it was something that one had to be “born with” but this is now known not to be true.While it is true that some people seem to develop this skill very easily while others are lost. Using the proper ear training methods, perfect pitch can be developed by anyone who is not tone deaf.Don’t let that last line scare you away. Very few people are actually tone deaf. Many people think they are tone deaf simply because they cannot sing well. This does not mean someone is tone deaf. A tone deaf person can literally not tell two different tones apart. It’s a rare condition and if you had it, you would not enjoy music the way that you do. If you are reading this, it’s extremely unlikely that you are tone deaf.How does one go about training their ears? Well there are many courses available both off line and online. The online courses usually have all of the same material as the offline courses only they tend to be much less expensive. Another advantage to the online choice is that the materials can be downloaded instantly so if you are an impatient person you can get started immediately.When a musician improves their ears, they will also improve their playing. If a musician can’t hear what they are trying to play then they won’t be able to play it. It’s very important that you be able to hear music in your head. With the right training you will be able to develop this skill, even if it seems very unlikely right now.p class=”articletext”

Anti Muscle Bias! As most know who have been weight lifting for more then a few years, there is a general anti muscle bias that exists in the general (read fat and lazy) population and the media. There is even something of an anti muscle bias in science and medicine I find, even when study after study shows having more muscle then the average person offers many advantages from a health and performance perspective.Modern medical science has finally caught on to the reality that muscle tissue is much more then just something that attaches to your skeleton to help you move your body or carry your groceries. It&39;s an essential part of your health, intimately connected to immunity as well as a long list of other benefits. A perfect example of that was found in a recent report called “Men with big muscles cut cancer risk by 40 per cent” which covered an interesting study. From the media report:”In recent years, experts have recommended a healthy diet and lifestyle – including regular aerobic exercise such as jogging or cycling to reduce the risks of the disease. But the latest study, published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, suggests it may be just as important to build up muscle strength. A team of experts, led by scientists from Sweden&39;s Karolinska Institute, tracked the lifestyles of 8,677 men aged between 20 and 82 for more than two decades.”So far so good, and as the reader can see, a large study that ran a long time. The study found those men who regularly worked out showed significantly lower rates of cancer, and most interesting was the effect was constant “…Even among volunteers who had excess tummy fat or a high body mass index, regular weight training seemed to have a protective effect.”However, and as one should expect, these researchers stressed keeping a healthy weight was still an essential part of avoiding various diseases. The researchers recommend regular weight training in light of these findings. But then, that odd anti muscle bias seems to creep in. Ergo, a spokesman for Cancer Research UK Health information officer Jessica Harris is quoted as saying “There&39;s no need to become a body builder. Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise five times a week that leaves you warm and slightly out of breath can have a positive effect.”There&39;s so many things wrong with the above, it&39;s hard to know where to start, but here&39;s some thoughts:• There&39;s a looooooooooong way, time, and effort, between being a “bodybuilder” and “30 minutes of moderate exercise five times a week that leaves you warm and slightly out of breath.”• As anyone who has spent any time in a gym knows (and we all know that eliminates most scientists but I digress…) building muscle is not easy, so “30 minutes of moderate exercise five times a week that leaves you warm and slightly out of breath” is not going to do jack you-know-what for actually increasing muscle mass. In fact, it may not even prevent the loss of muscle mass that happens with age, a condition known as sarcopenia. People interested in learning more about sarcopenia, can read my article on the topic called:” Sarcopenia, the undiagnosed epidemic”• No doubt, 30 minutes of moderate exercise five times a week “that leaves you warm and slightly out of breath” is far more then most people get now, and would improve their health, but as it relates specifically to the findings of this study, the advice totally misses the mark in my view. The fact is, if a person is looking to actually have any real impact on muscle mass, they need to work with a minimum of 60% 1RM for beginners, and 80% 1RM for anything beyond beginners, on a regular basis. The data is quite clear on that fact, so some low intensity exercise that leaves one “warm and slightly out of breath” done for 30 minutes is advice that smacks of typical anti muscle bias found in much of the science/medical community and the media. It&39;s either bias, flat out ignorance, or both…God forbid, they may lift some heavy weights and end up looking like a bodybuilder!• I&39;m sure the medical/scientific community does not want to scare people away from resistance exercise (e.g., weight training) by actually admitting they will have to work hard in the gym to actually see any effects on muscle mass and strength, but giving people faulty advice that will not lead to the results they want does not seem like a productive way to accomplish anything other then to confuse people.• I know hard work is a four letter word these days, but there&39;s no free lunch, there&39;s no Santa, no Easter Bunny, and getting the known health benefits of muscle mass (not to mention the aesthetic benefits!) does in fact take dedication, a bit of thought and planning, and – sorry to say- hard work with loads/weights heavy enough to kick your a$$. Lifting a beer to my mouth a hundred times will leave some “warm and slightly out of breath” but it aint going to build any muscles!See you in the gymAbout The Author:Want to gain muscle, strength, and save time and money while doing it?

Impressions Of Norway I was asked recently what my impressions of Norway were following a short cruise to the fjords. Norway ranks highly on our list of annual cruising choices and we have been going there for more years than I care to remember. My impressions from our last cruise are the same as on all past visits to this and other parts of Scandinavia – the country is spotlessly clean, most of the people speak English and are mainly polite and courteous. There will always be exceptions of course but, in the main, that has been my experience. Norway has a population of around 4,500,000 and occupies an area of around 125,000 square miles. This compares with, say, Greater London which has a population of around 7,000,000 and occupies just 600 square miles. You can鈥檛 really compare the two except in some respects. For example, why is it that Norway鈥檚 streets and pavements are so clean when there are so few people to cover such a large area when London鈥檚 streets (and many other places) are so dirty, graffiti-ridden and litter-strewn when there are so many folk around and employed to keep it clean? One of the answers to this question must have something to do with self-respect, respect for others and respect for one鈥檚 surroundings. Other factors will undoubtedly be at play, but respect has much to do with it I am sure. Secondly, head for head, how many of us can converse with a foreigner in their own language? Very few I fear and, in truth, I am no exception.

There are a wide variety of diverse business structures that exist in the current environment and this can be the cause of much stress and confusion for many business owners. However, it need not be this way. The best structure for your business is generally determined by what your main intentions or desires are for both the short term and long term. This could be for asset protection reasons, optimizing tax effectiveness, or a combination of the two, or perhaps even something else altogether.The best way to determine which structure is best for you is to speak with your professional business advisors, including your accountant and tax lawyer as well as any other financial advisors that you might have. Your advisors will be able to work with you to devise the best business structure that will meet your intentions and the needs of the business.One of the most common ways of using a business and trust structure is to have a family trust. Perhaps the main benefit of a family trust is that at the end of each financial year you are able to nominate which beneficiaries are to receive proceeds from the trust as well as how much each will receive. Of course the money never actually leaves the trust, but profits must be distributed and they are immediately re-invested back into the trust.The benefit of this arrangement is that this allows funds to be distributed to those beneficiaries with the lowest income levels and therefore less tax is paid. For example, it may be ideal to direct proceeds to the younger members of the family or non-working spouses as their income will be in the lower range marginal income tax brackets.Alternatively, if all of the beneficiaries of a family trust are earning significant amounts of taxable income then it may be beneficial to have a corporate beneficiary of the trust. In this situation, any proceeds that are allocated to the corporate beneficiary are taxed at the Company Tax rate of 30% as opposed to the higher marginal tax rates that may be applicable for individual beneficiaries. For example, if the individual beneficiaries are in the top marginal tax bracket a significant 15% could be saved off your tax bill.You may also elect to have a company as the trustee for your family trust. This ensures that the trust is not owned or dictated by one individual but rather it is overseen by all directors of the company. In this arrangement all of the assets of the trust are legally held in the business name. This provides a level of asset protection for the trust and its assets as should the company or any individuals come into financial trouble the assets of the trust are secure and unable to be touched by any debtors.As you can see, there can be significant benefits in adopting trust arrangements into your new or existing business structures. Family trusts, corporate trustees and corporate beneficiaries are just one slice of the pie. With the right advice and by implementing the optimal arrangement for your individual situation you can not only potentially reap the benefits of significant tax benefits but also secure the ongoing stability of your business and financial affairs.Contact the team of professional lawyers and accountants at The Quinn Group to discuss the best business structure options for your business.

Crossovers remain in demand, but some automakers are looking to take “car-like” to a whole new level. No longer are crossovers only providing a car-like ride , but more crossovers are also car-like in terms of styling. Honda鈥檚 all-new 2010 Crosstour, based on the Accord sedan, is the epitome of this new trend. Perhaps a bit more like a five door Accord wagon than true crossover vehicle, the Honda Crosstour is looking to compete against other hard-to-define CUVs like the Toyota Venza or Ford Flex. The base Crosstour begins at $29,670 with fully-loaded four-wheel drive versions going well into the mid-$30,000 range. The higher-end models include attractive features such as Honda鈥檚 easy to use voice-activated navigation and a rear view camera. Interested buyers have only one engine to choose from, the Accord鈥檚 3.5-liter V6 that produces 271 horsepower. Mated to a smooth shifting five-speed automatic, customers at Honda Parts Warwick are particularly intrigued by the Crosstour鈥檚 Variable Cylinder Management system which deactivates cylinders to improve fuel economy. Two-wheel drive models offer a commendable 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway.
