Email Etiquette 101 - Or What You Shouldn't Do To Annoy the Pants Off Your Recipients!
Email has not been around for long. And that’s why I am not surprised to see that many people still make mistakes while emailing. I am sure they don’t do it intentionally but it still annoys others when they don’t ‘get’ it.I believe a little email etiquette goes a long way. Here are some email basics which should be con

“Today I have grown taller walking with the trees.” Karle Wilson Baker
We all know that exercise is good for you. And walking is probably the easiest form to get into.
But did you know that walking plays a part in helping improve your environment?
Walking improves our quality of life because it helps to protect the living environment and natural resources. It can also be built into transportation systems.
Added health and environmental benefits come from the fact that walking is a pollution free activity. It’s also a quiet pastime. So we benefit from cleaner air and there’s a reduction in traffic noise too.
“Walking is highly efficient in its use of urban space and energy, it rarely causes injury and it gives streets vitality and personal security. Many car trips are quite short, less than 2 km, indicating that walking could be a feasible alternative and contribute to reducing the pollution from a cold-start vehicle travelling only a short distance.” C. Mason, Transport and health: en route to a healthier Australia? Medical Journal of Australia 2000
In North America and in Europe, there are active groups who canvass for better walking facilities in the urban communities. They argue that walking opens up communities and adds to the quality of life for all.
In 1996, Dan Burden formed Walkables Communities (http://www.walkable.org) in Florida. Walkable Communities purpose is,
“… helping whole communities, whether they are large cities or small towns, or parts of communities, i.e. neighbourhoods, business districts, parks, school districts, subdivisions, specific roadway corridors, etc., become more walkable and pedestrian friendly.”

Obtaining A Credit Card With Bad Credit
The Credit History report is like the Hall Monitor in the world of credit cards. The credit history report will serve as a security for credit card companies to screen out the bad weeds and the good weeds.However, it might be hard for some of us to maintain that perfect credit history. This is because life is not perfect; some of us will encounter p

Adverse Credit No More A Problem With Bad Credit Loans
A simple utterance of bad credit will certainly fill your mind with lots and lots of doubts. It may even imply complex terms, higher rate of interest and many such issues with the lenders. To have a better view, let us get in to the root of the problem. A bad credit is a consequence of missed or non payment in the past borrowings of the borrowers. This dim

8 Dumb Things to NOT DO on the Job During the Holidays
If you work in one of the majority of offices that sees extremely slow business and low productivity during the holiday season, it can be mighty tempting to ‘make use’ of all that downtime. But if you want to end up the year in good standing and shine in the new year, here are eight dumb things to not do while on the job during the holidays:1.

Zero Down Mortgage Loans for First Time Home Buyers?
The Down Payment Issue A Down payment in the range of 10% to 20% is usually required for obtaining a home loan to buy a house. There are also closing costs that you’ll need to pay in order to secure the loan. If you add up these two factors, very few can afford putting down so much money.The financial industry, however, has found a solution to

These organisations and their campaigns to free our communities from excess traffic appear to make sense. It is true that motor vehicles create a large amount of the pollution we find in the air.
The pollution created by vehicles can contribute to ill health. Illnesses such as asthma, lung cancer, increased stress and disturbed sleep have been found to be due to increased air pollution.
Walking on the other hand improves health, because every walk reduces air pollution.
So, do you want to take a walk today? Every step you take plays a part in improving your local community.
