People always forgetting your name?

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

These days its easy to forget people’s names because unlike the old school names people are being named some pretty fantastic and unusual names. This is not a bad thing, in fact I really love some of the names I’m learning about. What is really cool about the name jewelry is that it makes it easy to know someone’s name, even if they never told you it. With marketing in fact like when you go to a grocery store and the cashier says “Thank you Patricia” it really makes an impact when someone calls you by name. Just don’t forget that your name is on your necklace!

Public Speaking Tips

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Memorize Your Speech

There’s nothing wrong about having notes with you but it would definitely make your award presentation speech more professional if you’re able to complete it without glancing often at your notes. Do your best to memorize your speech. You don’t need to memorize it word for word. Being able to deliver the essence of your award presentation speech is more than enough. Take note of the important ideas and its sequence to make it easier for you to remember what to say and in what order.

Have Someone Proofread Your Speech

Ask someone with excellent communication and grammar capabilities to proofread your speech. There’s nothing worse than realizing you’ve pronounced a simple word erroneously. Ask for advice about your choice of words as well. Sometimes, one of two words of the same meaning would have more impact on the audience.

Keep It Brief

Even if you’ve been given the green light to speak as long as necessary, your audience would still better appreciate your award presentation speech if you can keep it short but sweet, brief but detailed.

Use Humor

Even the most serious assemblies won’t find a touch of humor here and there adverse as long as you’ve used the right joke at the right time. Humor will also make it easier for you to connect with your audience.

Speak with the Right Tempo

Take note of commas, periods, and other punctuation marks. These are present for a reason. You should always be aware of the tempo of your speech. Don’t speak too fast or slow.

Make Eye Contact

This is probably one of the best public speaking tips I’ve ever used - keeping eye contact with your audience shows them you’re confident about what you’re saying and will consequently convince them to listen more to what you have to say.

That’s it. Good luck with your award presentation speech!

Problems

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

How long has epoxy flooring been used? I am curious to know if there have been any problems with using epoxy flooring. It took many years of using asbestos before they finally figured out the dangers of it and I was wondering ow long epoxy flooring has been used and if any testing has been done on it. Are there any known dangers or toxins that are associated with it? Are there currently any tests being done on epoxy because it is thought to be a danger? If it cracks does it release any chemical or break down the flooring?

The state of Arizona is in the western part of the United States and more specifically, the southwestern region.  It is well known for its desert geography and for red rock mountains like the region around the Grand Canyon. Arizona is also known for being a solid representative of the way the old west used to be in the olden days in the rural regions that dominate most of the state. The perfect way to get this taste of the west and a full understanding of Arizona is by taking a vacation at an Arizona guest ranch and experience it for your self.  

Useful Thing To Have

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

I think side tables are a very useful thing to have. I have an Eileen Gray table, which I love. You can adjust the height of the glass table top so it is very convenient. It is great to put the book I am reading on, or my dishes once I finish eating something if I don’t want to get up right away to put them in the sink or dishwasher. It also looks really nice, I have gotten a lot of compliments on it. I have another one that isn’t adjustable that I use to keep a lamp on.

Where can I find this information?

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

I am looking to buy a new car, and with the high price of gas these days I want to get one with the highest gas mileage rating I can. I need to get a minivan because I need to be able to fit in three car seats since we have three little kids, and I know these don’t get great mileage, but I want to do the best I can for mileage. Where can I find out the gas mileage ratings for different cars to give me an idea of which cars I should give a closer look when I am shopping?

Interior design courses on line

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

As a stay at home mom with a real knack for decorating I would really love to take some interior design courses on line. I have a few hours a day to devote to this and am really excited to get started. My goal is not to become an Interior decorator but to educate myself and get some new and fresh ideas for my home. Even some of my friends have approached me to help them with their decorating projects. I love color and am really good at using color to pull a space together. My lack of knowledge has more to do with fabrics so I need to educate myself.

Improving Sales

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

What can I do to improve sales? I am working on my business development strategy, and trying to come up with ways to improve the sales of our products. I have the marketing department working on coming up with some new strategies for marketing, and we are putting up a website so we can take advantage of the fact that many people purchase things online. I’m interested in any ideas for improving our sales. We have a really good product, I just don’t think enough people know about it. If we could get the word out about it and if people tried it, I’m sure they would be back for more.

It’s hard to tell when digital photography will hammer the final nail into the coffin of film based photographs, but just to be safe, Kodak is hedging its bets.

Not so long ago, the company introduced Kodak Photo CD, a player that can be connected to a TV or computer system and used to display photographic images electronically encoded on discs, much in the way music is stored on an audio compact disc.

The device opens the digital doorway to consumers, but you still need film to get in. The images are captured on film with a traditional camera; the film is then sent to Kodak, where the images are scanned, digitized, enhanced where necessary with some of the best photo editor software, and then stored on CDs and returned to the customer.
