Less enterpreneurship, growing economy

Data obtained by the Federal of Reserve show that the proportion of Americans that get into enterpreneurship and set up their own business is shrinking. This means that people don't have to start their own company which is a necessity in case they can't find a job.

In other words, the more good jobs are generated in a country, the fewer people decide to go into business for themselves. This is a sign for a healthy and growing economy which is effective enough to offer employment to its citizens.

On the other hand, when companies are growing in size , then they become more efficient. They buy everything they need in large volumes taking advantage of economies of scale. As an example, think of a large store that employs lots departments and can replace many independent enterpreneurs. Therefore, if we can develop high growth companies, the job market will grow too and less people will get forced to start their own businesses.

America, carry on!

Music helps relaxing

People nowadays are getting stressed working long hours in demanding jobs resulting in having less and less free time available for leisure activities.

Besides, medical survey has revealed that people should devote a certain time for relaxing after work so that they let thews cool down and their body come back to its physical condition. Based on this theory, many physical therapists advise people to exercise regularly doing relaxing exercises to stretch their muscles and avoid accidents such as cramps and wrenches.

In order to keep yourself fit and also avoid getting bored you can go with listening to music while exercising. There are specific sounds you can listen to and go along with exercising for relaxing. It is said that specific kind of music helps neurological system calm down. For example, for Yoga there is music written especially for this type of exercising in order to accompany and enhance Yoga practice .

Nevertheless, for many people Yoga is claimed to be quite difficult although it seems relatively easy to complete a course. Thus, for lazy people who wish just to relax listening to sounds as though they come straight from sea places and mountains, relaxation music is what I recommend for them.

We need to admit it...music is into every human activity.

Movie storing becomes a simple need

While approaching 2010 movie industry is developing rapidly generating not only movies but also loads of needs we would never have thought of in the past. Those needs in turn have became innovative business concepts ready to serve out the big demand just created.

One such concept has been created by a small team named Bolide Software Team that invented ''All My Movies'' which is a movie database program designed to store information about movies such as titles, actors, director, year of release and many other. In other words, it is a movie organizer useful for those who are tired of organizing their movie collection manually and want to save time and boring ''tiding up''. This application is also programmed in a way to support data inserting from internet movie database so that there is no need for manual data induction.

The program is also user-friendly and brings many options regarding the password protection so as to block unauthorized access. Yet, as far as search is concerned, the speed is very high and the search can be limited by any category such as title, actor, director, year and other. Another important feature is the multilingual versions so as to cover any kind of demand.

If you belong to the category of those who struggle organizing their PC movie library in the traditional way, you can give it a try; you will save valuable time!

Simplify lending any time you need it

How many times has your day budget plan proved to be wrong due to an unexpected hitch? What did you wish to have at that moment? I take it you just wanted to find a wallet by chance shining on the street.

Well, although shining wallets are unlikely to be found here and there, there are companies like Personal Cash Advance that are considered to be equivalent with the ''wallet'' concept to a great extent. The only thing you need to do is just apply online for a Payday Loan and then they will keep the lending process as simple as possible for you so that you receive the cash advance any time you need it.

Contrary to the ordinary lending procedure followed in a bank, with Payday Loans you take advantage of the credit checks inexistence, the minimum number of requirements (easy qualifying), the fast approval process and also the immediate money availability. Additionally, there are many payment options depending on what is more convenient to you.

Yet, having an extremely strict security policy, it is highly unlikely for your personal information to give away to any public or private authorities except as required by law.

Considering all the above it would be wise to take some action and don't let unexpected occuring catch you unprepared.

IT outsourcing saves companies from high costs!

Undoubtedly, it is extremely hard for a business nowadays to afford the high costs incurred by maintaining internal departments. Having no external help, this is becoming even harder as companies have expenses due to staff training, management and expertise development with all of them being spent on a product's success. Many have therefore seeked IT partners in countries such as India, Russia, China and elsewhere to keep costs down.

Unfortunatelly low cost often means low service and it has been proven that commercial understanding of applications is less in the countries above and more so in the US, UK and mainland Europe. Companies are now therefore starting to migrate IT development back to their home countries.

The IT department has become a nightmare for all-size companies due to high costs attached to its maintainance involving IT expertise, IT management and other of equal importance. iCorps Tecnology has been created to give IT solutions by simply offering development expertise to companies of any size.

Winning customer services

You can feel it if a company cares about the customers as you walk into the shop. The attention to details and processes are geared up to you and your experience.

For example how do you feel when stranded on a London train station with no staff, no announcements and no trains?

In comparison how do you feel when you are rushing, standing in a Waitrose queue impatiently and the customer services person calls you to their till, takes payment and sends you on your way with a smile.

Well you can argue that Waitrose is a premium service and the TFL is not. How come we are paying premium prices for both then?

Win people, not perceptions.

Can Lacoste and a dental company be rivals?


The international clothing company Lacoste received public deprecation after the court battle between the colossal company and a small Gloucestershire dental practice regarding the crocodile trademark.

In particular, Lacoste accused the dental company for making use- in a different design though- of the reptile symbol arguing that the crocodile brand could be mistaken for its own emblem, causing confusion among Lacoste shoppers and people who look to make a tooth filling.

Simply thinking, would be ever possible for one who looks for a light blue navy shirt from Lacoste's summer collection to confuse it with the need for root canal surgery? Well, the judge concluded that the average consumer is not that stupid to distinguish between the two!

No more home alone, ''Big Internet'' is watching you

If you asked me few years ago whether my thoughts could be read by other people I would certainly call you insane. If you now ask me the same thing I will think my answer twice and yet, I won't be able to give a straight one. Can you think why?

Well the answer is hidden behind the fact that Internet is continuously gaining more and more power over our lives. From now on, companies like Google, Microsoft and Yahoo will be able to trace what we look for, think or even feel by simply analysing our Web searches. This results in the creation of numerous archives that hold information about our wants, needs and likes which all comprise our culture.

What's also surprising is that a further analysis of those searches leads to a deeper view of what that might mean. For example, during the pre-election period search results can be used to compare the number of people who search for a specific candidate against to the opponent.

What we all feel though is that our privacy is getting violated by default and no one cares if we agree to that . And although our identity cannot be tracked yet from our searches, after a few years I can foresee my name filed and attached with my deeper thoughts. Horrible thought, isn't it?

Ted Baker - Modern fashion costs more

If you fancy a nicely designed and impressive shirt or top you might find yourself on the Ted Baker website. After your purchase however you need to limit your quality demands down to a zero (0). Washing is not an option for these clothes as they will dissolve after a couple of washes.
Ironing is also a no-go, I mean you can attempt to iron them but it will not really make a difference.

Unfortunately Ted Baker has joined the likes of other high street retailers that believe in the new wear once and throw away trend. Well done guys, I am staying away from you for the next 50 years.

Gossip marketing

Adestra is a well known leader in email marketing and delivery services for a reason. The guys have been demonstrating some of their in-house skills in an email sent out to their prospective clients database.
The first part of the email discusses data collection in email marketing as well as news about Windows Live Hotmail changes. Very interesting stuff.
It is signed by Client Strategy Consultant Hollie Williams who happens to be a very presentable young lady. Her picture signature is a bright example of clever email marketing.

Now to introduce the concept of gossip marketing (aka plain gossip) I had a look on Facebook. Hollie's profile is however restricted. Thankfully her mate Hannah lend us a hand with this picture posted back from a 'girly holiday' in 1998.
