			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Motion graphics is most likely the newest direction within design and it looks like men have found this field more interesting than women. In my work as a student counselor I see that nearly 90% of inquiries about motion graphics come from men, while I do see the same numbers for graphic design among girls.</p>
<p>Pre Motion Graphics, we saw almost the same amount men and women applying for undergraduate programs for Graphic Design; however this trend has changed. What is the main reason for this? I think we should have a quick look at the different educations to answer this question.</p>
<p>Graphic Design combines the conception of visual materials, text placing and images to communicate ideas and thoughts. Graphic design is problem solving, you have to work creatively to meet your client&#8217;s brief. Software used in Graphic Design are Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign. Motion Graphics is the use of video and/or animation technology to create the illusion of motion or a transforming appearance. Motion graphics will introduce you to all elements of the design process, underpinned by skills and theory. It combines skills from graphic design, film and animation and you will work with a variety of traditional graphic design skills, as well as capture and manipulation techniques for images and animation. Software used in motion graphics are: Adobe CS4 (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Flash, Dreamweaver, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Motion, DVD Studio Pro, SoundTrack Pro and more.</p>
<p>Could the biggest reason be the technical part of the programs? A historical trait is that women choose less technical programs than men do. If we look at Engineering, Finance, Mathematics and Science we see that these are male dominated study programs. Graphic Design might seem like a more artistic and might be a softer education, while Motion Graphics seems more technical which appeal more to men.</p>
<p>Maybe there is a financial issue. We can see the same traits in salaries among the two jobs as in the common differences in male female jobs. In the UK, according to mysalary.co.uk, the average yearly salary of a Graphic Designer is 23,050 while a Motion Graphic Designer makes average 31,368. A difference of 8,318 per year which is quite a big difference, when you think that the bachelor programs both last for three years in the UK.</p>
<p>So maybe men are more money driven then girls or more technological focus? I strongly believe that women are able to do the same as men, so I will attribute the the old men &#8211; female trait, that many women are not as money and technical oriented.</p>
<p>As a student counselor I would like to see more girls applying for motion graphics &#8211; and in general more male dominated study programs, something I think will help to remove the stereotypic gender differences in salaries and in the job market. We can see that women that have gone the &#8220;hard&#8221; way have succeeded. Many businesses would actually prefer female applicants over male applicants for a position to balance the male &#8211; female ratio in the office.</p>
<p>Espen is the CEO of Uniabroad, and has recently created the portal Designstudier.no which offers information about higher creative education e.g. <a target='_blank' href="http://designstudier.no/subject/grafisk-design/">Graphic Design</a> and <a target='_blank' href="http://www.designstudier.no/subject/motion-graphics/">Motion Graphics</a>, to Norwegians.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hobbies are an excellent kind of entertainment, that will present many well being rewards as well as all round fulfillment in everyday life. Some common pastimes contain: doing martial arts styles, sports activities, gardening, accumulating, cooking, journey, as well as my private favorites&#8230; scrapbooking as well as other different projects.</p>
<p>There is not really any requirement for hobbies, but rather something you appreciate undertaking inside your spare time. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s most crucial! With this write-up, we&#8217;ll go over different facts about pastimes, some of their advantages as well as some suggestions for new pastimes to take pleasure in.</p>
<p>My daughter&#8217;s hobbies and interests are purchasing, softball, cheerleading, dancing and gymnastics. Her interests are talking, buying, texting and shelling out high quality time together with her loved ones and pals. My husband&#8217;s favorite pastimes are golfing, doing some fishing, and also family members routines. Like crafts , hobbies might be fun routines that give you a break from your anxiety fo daily lifestyle. Now there are several kinds of hobbies which do need just a little purchase, but may well result in the long run, like my personal favorite hobby- crafts and scrap booking.</p>
<p>Hobbies could be pet related, or individuals associated. Anything you enjoy doing that entails wildlife is valuable in a variety of methods. For instance young children might understand duty, and respect pertaining to nature and life. A number of the most costly hobbies might be accumulating Some hobbies all of us want our children had are generally composing, singing, as well as studying. But they are frequently replaced by the tv set and video clip video games.</p>
<p>In the past, you might argue that don&#8217;t assume all hobbies could be wealth creation hobbies. There are numerous hobbies that make you income. Some hobbies and interests could be extremely costly and can not earn you anything. However, other pastimes can actually earn you funds! For instance selling old things on amazon, or accumulating discount codes. Some out of doors interests consist of: snowboarding, wakeboarding, hiking, rock climbing and camping, and grilling about the barbeque. Enjoyable pastimes for the more ambitious are: Scuba diving, breeze racing and even National politics.</p>
<p>Some hobbies will be more cost-effective than other people, but they should all be a part of a well balanced existence. They are a key component in bringing power back in an individual&#8217;s lifestyle. Hobbies are practiced for interest and enjoyment, rather than as paid work. Be aware, nevertheless that although hobbies and interests are a fantastic thing in most cases, anything in excess might be harmful. Like that present around the discovery channel- Hoarders. That they turned the hobby of gathering circumstances to the intense and literally collect every small factor they will get their fingers on!</p>
<p>Some men and women have got even turned their hobbies into organizations. What much better business to enter that some thing you&#8217;d carry out for free of charge! Researchers discover that retired people who get concerned in interests are happier along with are likely to live more time. At any time wonder why career programs sometimes ask you to listing your hobbies? Pastimes have a tendency to tell a lot about who a person truly is. They do this due to the fact some men and women think that we are defined by what we perform in our spare time. If we virtually devote every spare minute we&#8217;ve got in front from the tv set then our thoughts will be really narrow along with restricted. Whilst additional hobbies like reading through, and writing in fact increase our thoughts and intellect.</p>
<p>Remember, that those who have hobbies and interests are far more fulfilled and also lead happier life. So locate a few hobbies you are thinking about and provides them a try!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is not just singers who should be training their voice. Knowing a few good voice training techniques can make anybody&#8217;s life a little better. The voice is is an incredibly powerful tool, and if used correctly can make a huge difference in both work and social environments.</p>
<p>These businessmen and businesswomen improve their confidence and speaking voice through this vocal coaching. They refine their communication skills and correct their diction, which means they are able to convey themselves in meetings in a far stronger manner.</p>
<p>Just like any other muscle, the vocal chords, small thin muscles that vibrate when air passes through them, need to be kept in good shape. The vibrations can be slow or speedy, so if they are well exercised, these shifts become easier. Just like if you were going for a run and you stretch your muscles beforehand, the voice needs to be warmed up.</p>
<p>The techniques used to exercise the voice are many, as so much can effect it. First and foremost it is good to get to know a few breathing exercises that work for you. Being able to control your breathing is essential, whether you are singing the national anthem, or delivering the key note address at a conference. Knowing how to use your diaphragm correctly will make breathing easier, and your voice stronger.</p>
<p>Your body effects your speech, and there are many physical exercises to help strengthen the voice. These not only effect the muscle that control speech directly, but also assist with things like posture which if incorrect can make the voice weaker.</p>
<p>Once exercising your body is in check, learn the correct techniques to use your mouth, tongue and lips. The positions and shape effect the sounds and words that come out.</p>
<p>Whether it be from a book, audio book, a training video or an online class, there are so many excellent and beneficial voice training techniques available for you to master the muscle many of us use the most.</p>
<p>Thinking of taking <a target='_blank' href="http://learn-to-sing-better.net/singing-voice-lessons-to-improve-stage-prescence/">singing voice lessons</a>. Check out our site where you&#8217;ll <a target='_blank' href="http://learn-to-sing-better.net/">learn to sing better</a> in no time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you ever get enmeshed in troubles like this? The problem is a common one but a majority of people in this predicament won&#8217;t talk about it for fear of ridicule. Some people just worry and worry, without ever finding a way to overcome the difficulty and move forward.</p>
<p>Precisely what is the problem? Let&#8217;s examine it in finer detail. The problem is that you don&#8217;t know how to build your own website because you don&#8217;t have programming skills.</p>
<p>Possible Solution Options</p>
<p>Now while your difficulty may be a challenging one, there are a few possible answers to it. You might have already thought of a few or even every one of these, but why don&#8217;t we have a closer look at them. These are simply alternatives, it is not necessary to avoid them out of hand, or even accept any one of them just yet, simply because each one of these is going to be looked at more closely.</p>
<p>Your initial possibility is to take classes on web design and programming. Your 2nd option is to hire a professional webmaster to do it. The 3rd option might be purchasing web designing software and your fourth option might be finding a hosting company that offers site builder software.</p>
<p>Discussion of Options</p>
<p>This is now the point where the choices that have been outlined can be looked at, to check out the advantages and disadvantages. It is always essential to check out each side of any issue and to think about all the good and bad sides of the options listed.</p>
<p>The first option was to take classes on web design and programming. What are the advantages of this option? You learn everything you need to know. Consider some of the cons with this option? It is time consuming and expensive. Balancing out the pluses and minuses for this option, which one might you prefer? Well&#8230; you don&#8217;t want to go back to school.</p>
<p>The second option to consider was to hire a professional webmaster to do it. What are the pros of this option? The website will be delivered fast and up and running. Consider some of the cons with this option? It could be very expensive. Balancing out the advantages and disadvantages for this choice, this option could be too expensive for you.</p>
<p>The third option to take into consideration was purchasing web designing software. Consider some of the benefits of this choice? It is better than taking classes. Consider some of the cons of this action? It is very hard to find perfect software for your needs. Balancing out the advantages and disadvantages for this alternative, which one might you like? It looks too difficult to look for specialized software.</p>
<p>The final alternative to take into account was to find a hosting company that offers site builder software. What are the pros of this option? You need a host for your website anyway. Consider some of the cons of this action? You need to do a thorough research in order to find inexpensive and easy building software. Evaluating out the benefits and drawbacks with this choice, which one might you prefer? This option is probably the best.</p>
<p>Discussion of Recommendations</p>
<p>The alternatives have been determined and the pros and cons for each alternative identified and discussed and a favorite position for every individual option uncovered. Now it&#8217;s time to weigh up the options against each other.</p>
<p>The options were to take classes on web design and programming, to hire a professional webmaster to do it, to purchase a web designing software, to find a hosting company that offers site builder software.</p>
<p>The desired position for everyone was: you don&#8217;t want to go back to school, it was too expensive for you, it was too difficult, and the last one, probably doable.</p>
<p>Final Decision</p>
<p>In this instance, the selected choice might be extremely obvious, though it isn&#8217;t always as obvious as this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of the most favorite Otakon events happen during the evening. There is usually late night festivities that you have to be eighteen or older to partake in.

<p>Some of the things in the day time can be restricted because there may be those who are younger than eighteen years old in the audience. Another fun activity to do at night is to got to the dance party. The dance party is usually rave themed. Many people come dressed up in their costumes but a lot of others come without them.</p>
<p>Panels can also be more interesting because late at night, they can say whatever they would like if it is an eighteen years old and over panel. These panels can be very funny since their jokes aren&#8217;t so PG now. Usually they show films that are a little less PG too, such as Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl, which was shown last year.</p>
<p>One of the best activities that they have to offer which was offered during the 2010 season was the burlesque show. This is where your favorite characters get up on stage and dance. This is strictly for adult however as this can get pretty sexual pretty fast. It is definitely a sight to see and things at night can really get more interesting during the day at the event.</p>
<p>This year there will no doubt be eighteen plus wrist bands you need to get in order to get into events like these, so be prepared to show some identification if you are going to be going to the convention this year. The night is always one of the most fun times for the convention.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That cute little table found in a thrift store has sat in the garage since it was purchased. A few years have gone by, and the project in mind when it was purchased has not yet been attained. Basically it has been stored because furniture refinishing seems to be a hard job. The job is only as hard as it is made to be. Actually giving a piece of furniture a face lift is enjoyable, especially when the completion is admired.</p>
<p>The main thing is to follow the directions on the manufacturers labels of all the products used. Have all tools needed at hand before beginning which will make the job much easier.</p>
<p>It is very important to work in a well ventilated area. Many people who do this type of work chose to use a chemical stripping agent to remove the old finish. This is a messy job, but often wins out over sanding. Even after using the stripper, it may still be necessary to sand certain areas. Follow the manufacturers directions precisely.</p>
<p>If an electric sander is available it is much easier than trying to do it by hand. Make sure the edges are not neglected while sanding. With this process it is not necessary to sand all the way to the wood finish, but a smooth surface is imperative.</p>
<p>Refinishing wicker or rattan is two of the easiest types of wood to work with. Other articles require more time and energy. In addition more products and tools are required to do a well deserved job.</p>
<p>Wipe the sanding dust away using a damp cloth. Fill in holes or nicks in the furniture with wood filler. Let dry and sand smooth. Wipe the article again with a damp cloth. A lint free cotton cloth works best.</p>
<p>Fill any spots in the wood that may need filling with wood filler. There are many different types of wood fillers on the market. After the selected wood filler has dried, sand down the rough places to an even finish.</p>
<p>Furniture refinishing is a rewarding hobby that often collects not only compliments on the items that have been redone, but it is possible to sell them and collect revenue.</p>
<p>If you are in the process of <a target='_blank' href="http://tinyurl.com/4dnya7a">furniture refinishing</a> , Melanie Kroll can help your home look amazing with her artistic services. She can bring new life to your home with mosaic designs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cosplay means costume play, and is when a person dresses up and role plays as a character. Typically, these characters are from anime as costume play has its roots in the otaku culture. This is a popular hobby that millions of people partake in. Most that are involved spend their time hand making their costumes. Another main draw to these costumers are to go to conventions, where they meet other fans of their series, and go to see other costumes. Not only do they dress up as anime characters, but other forms of media such as video games, fantasy, and science fiction are popular.</p>
<p>Most fans are otaku fans, or fans of Japanese manga. Others are fans of photography as photos are especially important to costumers, as typically after conventions, photos of other costumes are shared on the internet. This form of hobby started in the West based more on fantasy characters and science fiction, however in the early 1990&#8242;s it spread to more anime based costumes. Much of this has been due to the spread of anime conventions in the West.</p>
<p>One of the most important part of being involved in this hobby is sharing your costumes with others, and conventions are one of the best ways to do this. The most popular conventions are Comic Con, Dragon*Con, and Otakon. These are popular conventions and last year Otakon 2010 brought in 29,000 fans. Each convention is different and focuses on a specific aspect of culture. For example, Otakon is more based on otaku, while Comic Con is for comics, and Dragon*Con is for science fiction and fantasy.</p>
<p>At conventions, it is typical for attendees to pose to get their picture taken. Many people will simply come up to you and take your picture at a convention. Other times there are planned photo shoots in which many of the same types of costumes gather in one area for photos. Conventions also feature things such as panels, dances, and game rooms. Often times, those who came in costume performs &#8220;skits&#8221; at a masquerade where they further role play as their characters. Conventions are one of the most important aspects to this hobby.</p>
<p>This a hobby that millions of people are participating in. Not only are they sharing their costumes at conventions, but the internet has opened the door for groups to share their costumes over the web.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cosplay is a popular activity in which people dress up in costumes as their favorite characters. Many cosplayers dress up like their favorite anime characters and go to conventions. Pokemon cosplay is a popular form of activity that many people partake in.</p>
<p>The purpose of Pokemon is to catch and train them. It started out as a game but now has evolved into an anime series a well. There were originally 150 of these creatures, but as more games were released, there are now 500 to chose from. These new characters will probably be seen cosplayed as in the next coming months as their is a new version coming out called Black and White. There are always three Pokemon to start off with, so they are usually chosen to costume as. Pokemon are characters too and when dressing up as them, it is important to remember to stick to your character. The only one of them that talks is Meowth.</p>
<p>Of course, one of the most popular costumes to chose from is Pikachu. However, other favorites are Mewtwo, Charizard, and Squirtle. Of times, entire suits are created that look exactly like the Pokemon, but for some, they chose to partake in Pokemon Gijinka. This is when human qualities are given to things that normally don&#8217;t have human qualities. It can be used to cosplay things such as machines, animals, and in this example, Pokemon.</p>
<p>These cosplayers commonly draft out their ideas on paper before creating their costumes. Their costumes can be extra time consuming since it is essentially an original piece. Most of these types are artists or they have another artist draft up their pieces for them. However, it is best not to stray away from what makes the Pokemon special. For example, it would make no sense not to put the tail on your costume if you are dressing up as Pikachu. Some cosplayers get into the habit of making their costumes look nothing like the character, and that is where they can fail.</p>
<p>With over 500 Pokemon to cosplay from, cosplaying as Pokemon will continue to be popular in conventions, especially with the new games continuously coming out.</p>
<p><a target='_blank' href="http://www.cosplaypro.com">CosplayPro</a> is a great resource for all cosplayers. They feature the Cosdex, which has over <a target='_blank' href="http://www.cosplaypro.com/2011/02/the-cosdex-150-pokemon-cosplays/">Pokemon Gijinka</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Morrigan was first featured in the game Darkstalkers. This is a game by Capcom that features classic monsters battling. The first version of the series was released in 1994. Other source material that she has appeared in has been Marvel vs. Capcom and Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Since she has appeared in various video games, novels, and comics outside of the series, she has been called the main protagonist of the game.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Her character is a succubus, or a female demon. However, even though she is a demon, her character is a classic anti hero. In the anime version, she is a part of a royal family who takes trips to Earth due to her being curious what is like. Another reason is that she is bored of her other world, and thinks that the human world is much more interesting. She is rich and has a good life but would like to explore more. In other adaptations she is seen as more of a villain or she is more closely related to her sexual side.</p>
<p>Her sexual side has been played up in many forms of media, but in the Night Warriors anime, they give her more of a character. She is part of a royal family and should have all that she needs, since she is so rich, however she is bored with life, and decides to visit the earthly realm in order to cure her boredom.</p>
<p>In the fighting game, Darkstalkers, her character plays closely to the character Ryu from Street Fighter. Her strongest power, Darkness Illusion can be activated in the original games by the button sequence LP, LP, F, LK, HP. When fighting, she can use her wings to transform them into blades to attack. Also, she can make her wings turn into bats that attack the enemy. One of her strongest powers is that she uses ki energy to propel blasts.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The latest games that she has appeared in has been Cross Edge and Namco vs. Capcom. Her characters is the most popular of the Darkstalkers series, having appeared in more cross overs then any other character. It would not be surprising to see her gain more popularity as time goes on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2011, there will be convention that every fan of East Asian culture should be going to, and that is Otakon. If you are looking to go, you will want to book a room near the Baltimore Convention Center, as that is where it is held now. Many people go costuming as their favorite characters. Usually these are characters from anime, but they can also be from movies, video games, or other forms of comics. This convention has grown a lot since its humble beginnings and now there are over 20,000 people who go to it every year.</p>
<p>While there you can purchase art at the artist&#8217;s alley. If you&#8217;re an artist yourself, why not try to sell some? There&#8217;s a lot of things for you to actively do while you&#8217;re there. If you are a performer you can do a skit with your friends. There&#8217;s a thing called the masquerade where most skits are performed in front of a large audience. One of the most fun things to do, however, is to simply be amazed at all the costumes.</p>
<p>Those who would like to watch movies can watch a ton of foreign films in HD on big projectors. Also, there is a huge gaming room where you can play video games with your friends. Those who come in costume can check on the internet to find scheduled photoshoots where they can meet up with the same type of characters and get their photo taken.</p>
<p>Late at night they show some movies that you need to be over 18 to see. They usually do this by making you stand in line and get a wrist band. Also at night, there is the popular rave, which is a late night dance party for those who come.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a lot to do in these three days of the convention. It&#8217;s one of the biggest and most well known convention in the United States. Make sure you&#8217;re comfortable and don&#8217;t be sad if you can&#8217;t see everything, as there are events scheduled throughout the day, and it will be impossible to see everything.</p>
<p><a target='_blank' href="http://www.otakon2011.com">www.Otakon2011.com</a> is the best resource for finding out more on Otakon, and for finding photos of past events.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Every year since 1994, Otakon, a cosplay convention, is held in Baltimore, Maryland. There is a huge amount of people who to this convention, and there's a huge amount of activities that go on there. Because of this, it is best to plan out what you are going to do before hand and to keep these tips in mind. Last year there were 29,000 attendees. This year it will be held again in the Baltimore Convention Center, a total space of 1,225,000 square feet]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every year since 1994, Otakon, a cosplay convention, is held in Baltimore, Maryland. There is a huge amount of people who to this convention, and there&#8217;s a huge amount of activities that go on there. Because of this, it is best to plan out what you are going to do before hand and to keep these tips in mind. Last year there were 29,000 attendees. This year it will be held again in the Baltimore Convention Center, a total space of 1,225,000 square feet.</p>
<p>Because of the enormous amount of space and activities happening all over, people going to the convention will have to do a lot of walking. If you haven&#8217;t been walking miles recently, then when you get to the convention, be prepared to. In order to combat this, try to pick a costume with comfortable footwear. If you can&#8217;t do that be sure to bring an extra pair of comfortable shoes with you as the convention center has a ton of activities on every end.</p>
<p>When going to the convention, if you are going by car, be sure to leave extra early so that you can get a good parking space. The spaces next to the convention notoriously fill up very quickly, and you don&#8217;t want to be walking blocks in your costume. Hotels also book up earlier than most conventions, because of the amount of people coming into the city and the attraction of people from other countries.</p>
<p>If you would like to avoid standing around on the actual convention day, go the day before to pick up your tickets. This is commonly called The Line, except for last year, when things went a lot smoother, and those that went the day before could pick up their tickets without even waiting in a line. By going the day before, you wont be waiting for passes on the day of the actual activities.</p>
<p>When going to this convention, it is important to make a schedule or a plan of events in order to avoid congested areas. It is best to bring your own food or if you are going to eat at the nearby restaurants, that you don&#8217;t do at common lunch and dinner times, as it will be packed during the convention times. With these things in mind, you will have a pleasant convention experience with no hassles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Would you rather make your own jewelry rather buy one at the mall? Do you love to give bracelets or necklaces to your friends? Ever thought of turning that passion for jewelry design into a business? Think of it this way, you can be able to make trinkets for people. Diamonds are indeed a girl&#8217;s best friend and the closest thing to it would be any kind of jewelry. It can be a ring, bracelet, necklace or even earrings.</p>
<p>Since you enjoy making your own jewelry, why don&#8217;t you start a business of your own? You don&#8217;t need a capital for it. You don&#8217;t even need an office or a factory. You can start small. You can start in your own home. You can showcase your creations through the internet. An online business would be great for a starter like you.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say that you don&#8217;t have enough money for capital. You need not worry. There are banks that are willing to give you a loan. What is more is that, your parents have your back. You can ask help from them. You do need to have a good business proposal for them to get interested in investing.</p>
<p>The key to having a big amount of sales, you have to lessen your expenses. Your raw materials like the crimping tools, stones, beads, watch bands must come from wholesale suppliers. Never get your supplies from retails shops. Their prices are higher compared to the warehouses. Also, you have to be certain that you have all the materials that you need.</p>
<p>Let your creative juices spurt out. Take some time in creating your first few creations. Remember, you need to put your 100% effort to it. This will make or break you because your creations will create your name. They would know that you exist as a jewelry designer if they see good products from you.</p>
<p>When it comes to selling, you need to have a website for your own trade. People won&#8217;t able to get directed to your site right away. The key to leading them to your site is by creating some noise in the social media network. You can tag your friends on the photos of your designs.</p>
<p>Last thing you should know is that, do not give up. You should continue to have patience. You most certainly have the passion so try to live the dream and passion that you have. You won&#8217;t notice that as time will pass, many will know that you are indeed a great jewelry designer.</p>
<p>Bob Proctor has been writing articles since 2005 and is an expert on <a target='_blank' href="http://crimpingtools.info/">crimping tools</a>, however he&#8217;s also interested in <a target='_blank' href="http://watchbandsshop.org/">watch bands</a> for personal use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People all over the world love watching films and films frequently reflect local traditional stories and folklore. The fascination with ghosts, ghouls and witches is a global phenomenon, but there are more local ones too.</p>
<p>One of the most famous in Europe is the so-called vampire, Vlad the Impaler, who really did exist but probably not in the form of the vampire that we all know of today from books and films.</p>
<p>Then there are the witches and warlocks who have been both respected and feared throughout history. Think of Merlin the Magician from the court of King Arthur and the witches of Salem in the United States, who were victimized and murdered along with thousands of others in Europe at that same time.</p>
<p>There are also tree nymphs or dryads, believed in by the ancient druids and many peoples in other continents as well such as Asia and Africa. Fairies and goblins are or at least were widely feared all over the planet and there were the little people in Ireland, the Leprechauns. However, these characters did not only live on land. The ancient Greeks believed in Poseidon the god of the sea and many sailors believed in mermaids.</p>
<p>Some would contend that angels,cherubim, seraphim and the like come into the same group. Some would even say that Satan and God do as well. All of the above characters, with the probable exception of God, have been represented by human beings at parties that we call fancy dress parties many, many times.</p>
<p>Many films have been made which include some of the above characters. The most famous of these in recent years being the Harry Potter series and the Lord of the Rings. Just imagine the work that must have gone into making the costumes for those films.</p>
<p>What if you could design your own costume on that plane of excellence for your next fancy dress party? Well, the costume designers working on those films are professionals, obviously, and they have big budgets and ample of resources to work with. You will be much more restricted, but you can still realize very good results.</p>
<p>The first thing to do is select the character that you would like to dress up as. Let&#8217;s say a vampire. Then you ought to do a little investigation to find out what the character looked like. This is very easy on the Internet or you may have films and books on the subject. Then you make a list of the things you will require in order to dress yourself the same and perhaps the make-up you will need as well.</p>
<p>So, for a vampire, you will need long black trousers or a long black dress; a black jacket, shirt or blouse; black shoes and a black cape (or blanket). Some white make-up or talcum powder will give you a ghouls complexion and some red or dark-red lipstick will emphasize your deathly pale complexion. A set of long white or yellowish fangs finishes the image. Then all you need to do is practice a few hypnotic stares in the mirror and a couple of weird stares and you are ready.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One surefire way to get out of your songwriting rut is to listen to lots of music and composers you&#8217;ve never heard before. You may unlock some new inspiration from artists you never even knew about. Influences that you can feed off of as you work towards creating your own style. The synergistic nature of building off other composer&#8217;s creativity can leave you with better ideas than you ever dreamed you could come up with alone.</p>
<p>The best way to make your music meaningful as a composer is to start with feelings that you have and try and transfer them into the hearts of your listeners. For example, you could try and recall how something you like or something you don&#8217;t like makes you feel and use this as the foundation for your song/musical idea. The goal of your composition will then be to help your listeners feel what you have felt.</p>
<p>If you are stuck, think of people in your life and interactions with them and how they made you feel. What is it you like about the special people in your life and conversely what is it about some people that irritates you? These feelings can be very emotional and thus are the perfect inspiration for a really meaningful song.</p>
<p>Everyone forms emotional bonds with places they visit and the place they live. These feelings can play deeply into their moods and the way they feel when they are in these surroundings. Think of somewhere that you have particularily strong feelings towards and use these feelings in your artistic renderings. The more extreme the feelings, the stronger the pull they will have when you use them to covey your emotions to the audience.</p>
<p>Situational anxiety and comfort can both be sources for how you feel. Think of any time you felt really anxious or really relaxed and you can draw on these feelings creatively. Try to recall what made you feel the way you did. Use these as the vehicles for revisiting those feelings and bringing them alive in your creative works.</p>
<p>What is something you feel like you can&#8217;t live without? Now think about why you can&#8217;t live without it and also consider how you would feel if you lost it. If you think about what makes it so special and why you treasure it so much, you may be confronted with some surprisingly powerful emotions that could feed into your creative process.</p>
<p>Why do some of the best musicians use <a target='_blank' href="http://www.guitarjamtrackshq.com/guitar-jam-tracks/">jam tracks for guitar</a>?

		<description><![CDATA[<b>Lateral thinking and the 10 Powers of Negotiation...</b]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Lateral thinking and the 10 Powers of Negotiation&#8230;</b></p>
<p>Men and woman sometimes view the world differently. We have all experienced how men and women can sometimes have different perceptions of the same event. For example, there are studies that have shown that women approach relationships quite differently to men. Why is this? And why is this even remotely relevant in the context of negotiation? And how can this help in detecting a looming scam?</p>
<p>Approximately 90% of men in the world are left-brain dominated. Left-brain people focus on logic, mathematics, rational thought, and black-and-white thinking. Approximately 90% of women in the world are right-brain dominated. Right-brain people focus on intuition, emotion and creativity. Why we need to be aware of this is that, to negotiate effectively, we need to use both sides of our brain. In other words, we must become lateral thinkers by learning to use both sides of our brain.</p>
<p>After spending more than 30 years negotiating agreements around the world and after researching Nelson Mandela&#8217;s approach to his historic negotiations with the South African apartheid government, I identified 10 Powers of Negotiation. These 10 Powers reveal the critical role of lateral thinking in the negotiating process by highlighting that negotiators need both left and right-brain skills. You will notice that some require predominantly left-brain skills and others require predominantly right-brain skills. But, to pull all the Powers together and to help detect a scam, negotiators require a combination of both.</p>
<p><b>These are the 10 Powers:</b></p>
<p>*	The power of understanding that a negotiation is a process.</p>
<p>*	The power of preparation.</p>
<p>*	The power of positioning.</p>
<p>*	The power of common sense and logic.</p>
<p>*	The power of dignity, congeniality, humility and humor.</p>
<p>*	The power of truth and fairness.</p>
<p>*	The power of observation &#8211; of listening and seeing.</p>
<p>*	The power of morality, courage and attitude.</p>
<p>*	The power of patience.</p>
<p>*	The power to walk away</p>
<p><b>The advantages of lateral thinking&#8230;</b></p>
<p>Because lateral thinkers are people who have the ability to use both the left and right sides of their brain, by being able to pull from both sides of the brain, they have significantly more insight into human behavior than those who are not lateral thinkers. They not only see unusual patterns of behavior that others might miss, they also have a more nuanced and layered sense of what is happening around them. Because of this, they also see more options for problem solving and have far superior problem solving skills than those who are not lateral thinkers.</p>
<p>Because the negotiating process is about identifying the problems each side is hoping to solve, the identification of the problems and finding different options and approaches to solving those problems lie at the very core of any successful negotiation.</p>
<p><b>Empathy and lateral thinking&#8230;</b></p>
<p>Nelson Mandela&#8217;s negotiating skills and experiences highlight the enormous importance of looking at every negotiation through the eyes of those with whom you are negotiating. He understood the enormous advantages that this can present on many different levels in a negotiation. His life is a remarkable window into his lateral thinking skills. How he honed these skills during his life and how he used them in his negotiations with the South African government is quite fascinating.</p>
<p>Empathy, however, requires significant right-brain skills. While it might be tempting to argue, using left-brain skills, that a position the other side is taking is &#8220;logical&#8221; or &#8220;illogical&#8221; or &#8220;black-and-white,&#8221; almost invariably the right-brain skills are far more telling and useful. Clearly, to get into someone&#8217;s head we need to tap into their emotional state and understand it. We need to tap into whatever intuitive skills we can muster. In doing so, we come to realize the enormous advantages most women have over those of us who are predominantly left-brain oriented.</p>
<p>This is the reasom we either have to develop both left-brain and right-brain skills, or we have to assemble negotiating teams that possess these skills.</p>
<p><b>Lateral thinking exposes the risk of negotiating alone&#8230;</b></p>
<p>Over the years, I&#8217;ve accepted that I&#8217;m a predominantly left-brain person. I think of myself as logical and rational &#8212; perhaps to a fault. I&#8217;ve also always accepted the problem that this almost inevitably creates and the opportunities that are inevitably lost as a result. I&#8217;ve therefore accepted the absolute need to work on my right-brain functionality. Unfortunately, what I&#8217;ve sometimes found is that, as I began to focus on my right-brain development, I often found myself taking my eye off my left-brain functionality. I obviously needed to find a solution to this and I did.</p>
<p>I decided that, whenever possible, I would never negotiate alone. I wanted the smartest right-brain negotiator I could find at my side, as well as the smartest left-brain negotiator to check up on me. I discovered the name of the game: I would have to gather around me the smartest right-brain and left-brain people I could find. And because 90% of women are right-brain dominant, that was where I&#8217;d look for the right-brain part of my team. Call me sexist, but studies show that women are generally better at right-brain stuff than men.</p>
<p>The result was apparent. I could see how left-brain dominant negotiators and right-brain negotiators could see the same scenario, but extract different things from that scenario. The result is that, through the collaborative process, the solutions reached by the team working together were so much more creative and innovative than the solutions that might have been reached by just a predominantly left-brain or a predominantly right-brain person.</p>
<p>As the 10 Powers of Negotiation highlights, negotiators have to keep their eyes on my different balls simultaneously. And as they have to observe and listen to the other side&#8217;s negotiating team, and particularly when that team is sometimes quite large, is it even possible to do this alone? In my experience, the answer is an emphatic &#8220;no.&#8221; To have a team of left and right-brain negotiators watching and listening and assessing what is happening is a huge advantage and will always yield a better result than handling this alone.</p>
<p>So, don&#8217;t be proud. Gather together a team of the most skilled lateral thinkers you can find&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is to believe when when science is almost within your grasp. Building a nature aquarium is putting into action what you learned in biology. You grow plants inside it. You study them as if you are uncovering the essential elements they need in order to live.</p>
<p>It is not just about giving carbon dioxide so that they can produce oxygen. There is not much gadgets for nature aquariums in the market, you will need to make your own equipments just like what Amano did. This is also a science application. You are like an inventor at the same time which later on can be a good source of living. And this is how exactly Takashi started his Aqua Design Amano.</p>
<p>Aqua Design Amano is a known manufacturer of high quality equipments for nature aquariums. Their design is specifically made for taking care of plants in the right way. It&#8217;s not just about feeding, but providing the fish a natural environment as much as possible.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just providing some light in your tank. It is about giving a good light for your aqua plants where they will be able to process photosynthesis for them to make O2 for the fishes and all other organisms inside the aquarium. It is about getting the right lighting system for your aquatic plants and fishes to survive and live in a normal environment.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just about giving an artificial filtering system, rather, it is about building a normal filtering system inside the tank. The same reason why you need to put some invertebrates in it. Shrimps are known for eating algae and maintaining environmental balance inside the fish tank. Having a good &#8220;natural&#8221; filtering system, the water in the tank will last its freshness longer.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just about placing water inside your fish tank. Rather it is about putting the right H2O for your fish. You will need to choose a H2O that will not kill your fish. If you have a fresh water aquarium, you need a real fresh water and avoid the chlorinated water which you can easily extract from your faucets.</p>
<p>It is not about getting a substrate, but getting the perfect substrate for your plants. When I was still learning about nature aquariums, I found out that you cannot use all kinds of substrates. Instead, you need to look for the right kind of substrate for your plants. For example, if you are going to have a fresh water aquarium, you should not be using a white sand coming from the beach for it excrete calcium which is not good for fresh water fish.</p>
<p>So far, you witnessed that it is not just an aquarium, rather it is making an experiment where you create a natural environment inside the tank using equipments that makes environment inside the aquarium more natural as it has to be.</p>
<p>Now move why it is an art. It is not just about placing and planting water plants. It is about putting them in an orderly manner where they will have a scenic view. There are some scenic pictures that you can creatively do. It is like making a real picture. It is about aquascaping.</p>
<p>It is not just planting green aquatic plants. But it is about the perfect mixture of color in order to create a natural beauty inside the aquarium . It is giving the right mixture of colors in the right places.</p>
<p>Know the how of <a target='_blank' href='http://www.natureaquariums.org'>nature aquarium</a>, and visit www.natureaquariums.org to find the best advice on setting up <a target='_blank' href='http://natureaquariums.org/fresh-water-aquarium/how-to-set-up-your-own-fresh-water-nature-aquarium/'>fresh water aquarium</a> accompanied by art.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everything that bowhunters need for successfully locating and targeting their prey can be found in today&#8217;s optics for bowhunting. Among these gadgets are the trail camera, the rangefinders and the sights which are attached to the bow and bowstring.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s optics for bowhunting include a trail camera</p>
<p>You may use the trail camera in two modes. One of them is daytime vision. In this type of display, you see things in their natural colors on the display. The other mode is night vision which is made possible with the use of infra-red light. Warm areas in the display will have patches of red. It becomes easy to detect any living things in the vicinity. Night vision can be used at any time of the day. Using this mode, the bowhunter will know for certain whether the disturbance in the bushes is caused by deer, smaller animals or a sudden strong gust of wind.</p>
<p>Even when animals transfer to another location, their trail remains in red on the display as long as the heat caused by their body is not dissipated. This makes it possible to capture images of the trail. Those images can help the hunter<br />
pursue the prey.</p>
<p>Range finder</p>
<p>Another helpful accessory among today&#8217;s optics for bowhunting are range finders. They determine how far the hunter is from his prey. Knowing this piece of information is important for adjusting the pins of the bow sight correctly. The pin should be raised or lowered as indicated by the range finder.</p>
<p>In today&#8217;s optics for bowhunting there are calibrations on the sight pin. The values shown for each calibration stand for the distance intervening between animal and hunter. Since this distance is difficult to ascertain without special tools, the chances of error are great without a range finder. And the margin for error becomes increasingly bigger as the distance gets longer.</p>
<p>A range finder makes sure that you have selected the right calibration on the pin and that the tip of the pin is on the part of the animal&#8217;s body you intend to target.</p>
<p>Bows may have a pair of sights</p>
<p>Compound bows may be fitted with one or two sights. The sight which is attached to the bow itself is a mandatory feature. It is here that the pins mentioned are located. They may be seen sticking out horizontally aligned slots in the bow sight. For greater accuracy in targeting, another sight, the peep sight,  may be tied to the bow string. The location where this sight is fixed corresponds to the level of the hunter&#8217;s eyes when the string is fully retracted.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s optics for bowhunting give the hunter a greater accuracy of aim</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s optics for bowhunting help the hunter to make a clean shot.<br />
Unless the hunter has excellent archery skills, he will easily miscalculate his aim without optics. That can result in missing the animal or, worse, failing to hit it with a blow that will kill it instantly. In the second case, the animal will suffer, especially if it is still able to flee. It may eventually die if the wound inflicted is mortal.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Really worthy projects normally require several steps for successful achievement. Things with any intricacy require several steps that will take some time to complete. It is only inherent within the nature of things that significant projects are generally not accomplished overnight. To have success it is important to ready yourself well, set clear objectives, work effectively and persevere. Whatever project or challenge you tackle, there aren&#8217;t likely to be exceptions to those principles.</p>
<p>However it is not that tough actually, you just break it down into easy steps. Here&#8217;s how one can create a website simply by using five easy steps.</p>
<p>Step 1. Determine your subject by brainstorming your area of expertise. The best subject is one that you are very good at, like a hobby or a passion. The key reason why this is very important is the fact that you are already an expert in the chosen field. Don&#8217;t avoid or neglect this or you will find difficult to create content for your website.</p>
<p>Step 2. Write down a large list of keywords related to your theme. This is a critical step, so give it your entire attention. Here is the way to do it right: find very descriptive keywords, buyer targeted keywords and long tail keywords. The key reasons why you should do this is that people will find your website by typing these keywords in the search engines.</p>
<p>Step 3. Choose carefully your domain name. You need to find a good name for your website which is related to your business. The reason for this step is to make it easy for your customers to find you online.</p>
<p>Step 4. Register your domain name. To flesh that out just a little, there are lots of companies that specialize in domain registrations. Find an affordable one, it shouldn&#8217;t cost more than $15 per year.</p>
<p>Step 5. Get a host for your website. There are plenty of companies that provide affordable hosting. Additionally, look for hosts that offer site builder software, as you may need some help to build your website.</p>
<p>Towards the finish, when you have followed these steps attentively, you can expect to succeed and will then have fun with the fruits of this success! Pat yourself on the shoulder, even be a bit satisfied with yourself. It&#8217;s your project and your own accomplishment. You now may revel in your achieving success and enjoy it!</p>
<p>For those who chose not to go through the steps above, ah well, &#8220;C&#8217;est la vie&#8221;. Not everyone succeeds, only those that plan for it.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Want creative solutions to your problems? One of the most systematic techniques uses the question "What if it was...?"]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the most creative solutions you need to get your mind looking in new directions. One of the most systematic ways to do this, is with a list of words, primarily adjectives, to create &#8220;what if?&#8221; scenarios. The process starts with the question, &#8220;what if it was&#8230;&#8221; and then you insert a word from the list. &#8220;It&#8221; in the question is the problem you&#8217;re working on, or the current solution or situation.</p>
<p><strong>Let&#8217;s explain the process with an example or two.</strong></p>
<p>Example one: You have is an unpleasant co-worker. You aren&#8217;t sure how to deal with him, so you ask about the problem, &#8220;What if it was&#8230;&#8221; and insert from the list &#8220;smaller.&#8221; How could you make the problem smaller? Spend less time with that person? Get reassigned?</p>
<p>&#8220;What if it was&#8230;  fun?&#8221; makes you wonder if being annoying yourself might keep the other person away from you. &#8220;Closer&#8221; makes you wonder if this person might be nicer to you if they knew you better. You continue down the list and work with each word a bit to get new ideas, which you will look at more analytically later.</p>
<p>Example two: Your house is too crowded because you&#8217;re running your business from it. You ask, &#8220;What if it was&#8230;&#8221; and insert from the word list, &#8220;smaller.&#8221; Your house is already too small, but could the business be smaller? The word &#8220;divided&#8221; might give you the idea to keep the business in just one part of the house.</p>
<p>Since most words on the list won&#8217;t help, you can go through the irrelevant ones quickly. But don&#8217;t automatically dismiss them without a few seconds consideration. &#8220;What if it was hopeless?&#8221; may seem like a useless question, or it may make you realize that you just can&#8217;t keep the business in the house any longer. Moving into a rented office might be the most profitable of your creative solutions.</p>
<p><strong>The Creative Solutions Word List</strong></p>
<p>Feel free to create your own list of words. You&#8217;ll want to use adjectives, descriptive phrases, and any words that can change your perspective. Here is a short list to get you started:</p>
<p>What if it was&#8230; larger, smaller, farther away, closer, sooner, later, easier, more difficult, higher, fat, rich, short, black, certain, hopeless, newer, boring, casual, subtracted from, cheaper, common, divided, more interesting, extravagant, subtle, or fun?</p>
<p>Just as with most problem solving techniques, it&#8217;s important to allow the ideas to flow without judging them initially. You don&#8217;t want to stifle the creative process. Take notes, then evaluate your ideas later, when you have a page full of creative solutions.</p>
