    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/earnings+per+share" rel="tag">Earnings per share</a> is one method that is used by investors to decide whether their trades are successful or not. Earnings per share are just one part of the financial puzzle concerning <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stock+trading" rel="tag">stock trading</a> investments, and knowing how to calculate the earnings per share is important for any investor in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stock+market" rel="tag">stock market</a> or other trading markets. Earnings per share is a financial tool that is frequently used by investors and businesses alike. <br /><br /> Earnings per share is not a complex formula that is extremely complicated. Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the consolidated net income of the company by the number of shares of stock the company has issued. This seems very simple, but there are factors that can affect the earnings per share formula. If there is a capital increase, if the number of shares changes during the reporting period, from a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stock+split" rel="tag">stock split</a> for example, or if certain other occurrences happen then this will affect the formula and the earnings per share. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/diluted+earnings+per+share" rel="tag">Diluted earnings per share</a> is another financial tool that is used frequently by companies and investors. The calculation for this formula is to divide net income for the company by the average number of shares that are outstanding minus <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/treasury+stock" rel="tag">treasury stock</a> and then adjusted for the outstanding options effect while considering the share price on the balance sheet date. First the total number of shares without consideration, or bonus shares, are calculated. Then this number is divided into the net income for the company to give a diluted earnings per share price. <br /><br /> Calculating the earnings per share and the diluted earnings per share is important for the financial success of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stock+traders" rel="tag">stock traders</a> as well as businesses. These numbers are reflective of the overall success of the company and the trader. These figures represent whether a share of stock has increased or decreased in value. Earnings per share is also reflected in the dividend payments that are made by the company. <br /><br /> The formula that is used to calculate earnings per share is not real complicated, but there is a formula that must be followed. The formula used to calculate diluted earnings per share has more involved and more steps to follow, because this formula takes into consideration factors such as treasury stock and outstanding options effect. Learning how to do the calculations and figure out the earnings per share and diluted earnings per share is important for any investor or trader who deals with stocks at all. <br /><br /> Copyright =A9 2007 Joel Teo.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[1. Don't know how to choose the right share to buy  2. Don't know when to bail out of a losing share  3. Don't know when to take profit on a winning share  4. Don't Know how to construct a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/proper+portfolio" rel="tag">proper portfolio</a> <br /><br /> 1. Don't know how to choose the right share to buy... <br /><br /> How does beginners choose what shares to buy amongst thousands of shares? You might choose to listen to your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/share+broker" rel="tag">share broker</a>, or listen to your and<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/quot" rel="tag">quot</a>;experiencedandquot; relative, or listen to free andquot;share pickandquot; on the internet...etc... and you will end up losing money.  Because individual share behavior is very complex, only the most professional full <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/time+traders" rel="tag">time traders</a> have the right technology to make proper share pick decisions. Such experience and technology is simply not available especially to the beginner trader. <br /><br /> 2. Don't know when to bail out of a losing share... <br /><br /> The deadliest killer of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/beginner+traders" rel="tag">beginner traders</a> is not knowing when to get out of a losing share. Too many traders hold on to their shares until it is worth nothing. Most beginners will hold on hoping that the share will stage a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rebound" rel="tag">rebound</a> because you simply do not have the technology to tell if a share will ever rebound! The only way for a beginner to prevent losing everything is for an expert to tell them when to get out of a trade. <br /><br /> 3. Don't know when to take profit on a winning share... <br /><br /> How many times have you heard stories around you of people who hold on to shares which made them a lot of money until one day, the share turned around on them into a severe loss? <br /><br /> Too many people keep thinking that their winning shares will keep on winning forever and never knew when to take profit... until the shares crashed on them! The problem is again that telling when a share is losing <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/upward+momentum" rel="tag">upward momentum</a> is extremely difficult. <br /><br /> 4. Don't know how to construct a proper portfolio... <br /><br /> Do you know that many shares actually move up and down together no matter what? Do you know that there are shares that totally move opposite to each other? Do you know that many shares actually move exactly opposite to the way the market is moving? Do you know that there are shares that do not ever move? Do you know that there are shares that are on the verge of getting delisted? <br /><br /> If you do not know the above, how would you ever be able to intelligently put different shares together so that you can make money? What if you put a share together with a share that moves exactly opposite to it? Would you ever make money? <br /><br /> That is why a lot of people are turning to trading a much more reliable and much more stable instrument; Market Index or Market Index ETF. <br /><br /> Read about how trading an index based strategy can help you overcome all these problems at <a href="http://www.mastersoequity.com/MOE_ridetheflow.htm" >http://www.mastersoequity.com/MOE_ridetheflow.htm</a>  <bio>Jason Ng is the Founder of Masters 'O' Equity Asset Management.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ You can divide almost any type of property into a time-share (a type of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fractional+ownership" rel="tag">fractional ownership</a>). Most popular among these, of course, is the condominium time-share arrangement. Private jets are also sold as time-shares (betcha didn't know that!). What that means, just in case you didn't already know, is that the time-share owner has the right to use the property for a certain mount of time, for example two weeks a year. Since this time-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/share+interest" rel="tag">share interest</a> can be bought, you can also sell it when you get tired of it. You can build up equity in it, and if the terms of your contract or the homeowners' association allow, you can even rent it out to someone else. <br /><br /> There are two different legal forms of time-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/share+ownership" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/share+owners" rel="tag">share owners</a>hip</a>. One is called "<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/interval+ownership" rel="tag">interval ownership</a>". In this arrangement, I may be granted a certain time period, for example one week a year, in which I can have the exclusive use of, say, a parcel of land, maybe a beach. If there are fewer than 51 other time-share owners, then there will be some time every year when no one will have the exclusive right to use the beach. This doesn't mean that I can't use it, however =96 since I own the beach as a tenant in common with the other tenants during this time, I can come to the beach but unlike during my week, I cannot throw anyone else off the beach =96 I have to share it with the other time-share owners. <br /><br /> The second legal form of time-share ownership is called "time-span ownership". In this arrangement, I have a tenancy in common with all the other tenants the whole year round, but an exclusive right to possess the property for a certain period every year. In practice, there is usually very little difference between these two arrangements, although it might matter in certain contingencies and might affect the value of your time-share interest. <br /><br /> DISCLAIMER: The foregoing is intended for reference only and not as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/legal+advice" rel="tag">legal advice</a>.   <bio>"Real Estate Law in Plain English" is located at <a href="http://realpropertylaw.blogspot.com" >http://realpropertylaw.blogspot.com</a>.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[What do you want? What do you really want? Forget about what other people want, what other people expect, who other people think you are, even what society has lead you to believe about what is appropriate or even possible. <br /><br /> Let go of any <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/preconceived+notions" rel="tag">preconceived notions</a> and get quiet and meditative with just yourself and figure out exactly what it is that you want. If you could be, do or have anything in the entire Universe what would it be? <br /><br /> Many of us live our lives in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/quiet+desperation" rel="tag">quiet desperation</a> trying to please other people, our parents, our spouses, our friends, sometimes even strangers. If we really want to live the life that we choose, we must choose that life. Nobody else in the entire world knows what is in your heart. Only you. You must decide what it is that you truly want because your life will unfold no matter what. <br /><br /> Your life will unfold and if you have tried to please everyone else while neglecting yourself, you won't have the life you want but the life that someone else wanted for you. You won't be happy and you will regret not making the choices and living the life you could have lived. <br /><br /> So get quiet, meditative and figure it out. Decide beforehand whom you will share this with. Nothing will destroy your newfound <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/resolve" rel="tag">resolve</a> faster than a mean-spirited criticism from a loved one. And often when you try to make changes other people will do what they can to manipulate you into staying where you are. When your resolve gets stronger and more powerful then you can share. <br /><br /> Clarity is Power. When you are clear about your goals, your desires, your wishes, you will do what it takes to create what it is that you want. When you <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/face+the+world" rel="tag">face the world</a> with a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/congruent" rel="tag">congruent</a> outlook, your actions produce the power and the strength to create whatever your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/heart+desires" rel="tag">heart desires</a>. <br /><br /> You will <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/manifest" rel="tag">manifest</a> your life.... Will it be the life you choose, or the life that someone else chooses for you?   <bio>You can find <a href="http://www.livethepower.com/asamanthinketh.html" >http://www.livethepower.com/asamanthinketh.html</a> and other amazing books at Karen Lynch's inspiring website <a href="http://www.livethepower.com" >http://www.livethepower.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Have you ever experienced the presence of someone who has passed away? A man gets associated with so many things in his life time. Some of them are very special to a particular person, generally the owner, while some are treasured by all. One of the most treasured and hence hard to let go off are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/personal+photos" rel="tag">personal photos</a>. Every house has photos. You may belong to a small family or a big one but you certainly do have personal photos. The issue is of what to do with these photos. <br /><br /> Personal photos are meant to be shared. It would be bizarre to take a photograph that you don't like to see again or share it with someone else. Most people would feel that their personal photos are not being shared effectively. The whole idea of sorting, labeling, scrap booking, arranging in albums seems entirely burdensome. Will not gifts be a better idea to share photographs? <br /><br /> Many companies exist which will print the personal photos on a wide variety of stationery and clothing. Gift your grandma a sweatshirt with the photo of grandchildren imprinted on it. Or have mugs with your family's <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/christmas+photo" rel="tag">Christmas photo</a> imprinted on them. Click pictures from your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cruise+tour" rel="tag">cruise tour</a> and share them through glasses that you share with your company on the cruise. You can share your personal photos through a large number of creative and touching ways. <br /><br /> Objects and clothing are not the only ways to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/share+photos" rel="tag">share photos</a>. Computer is a very good means too. Make a favorite photo of yours a background or set is as your screen saver. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/email" rel="tag">Email</a> you personal photos to friends and family. I found a great photography site at <a href="http://www.photographyforfun.com" >http://www.photographyforfun.com</a>. The traditional way of having the photos framed and placing them all over the house adds warmth and a personal touch. Each time you see the photo you can have <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fond+memories" rel="tag">fond memories</a> which can make your day and thus become an integral part of your day to day life. <br /><br /> No matter what you make of your personal photos ensure that the memories are being cared for in a proper manner. Preserve them in area free from moisture and light so as not to harm them. Do have an occasional look at them to revive those warm memories. If you don't prefer displaying or maintaining photos, limit the number that you click. It is an absolute waste of money to develop photos when they will just gather dust.   <bio>Melissa loves photography and: <a href="http://www.myartportal.com" >http://www.myartportal.com</a> <a href="http://www.cmminformation.com" >http://www.cmminformation.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Many people may not have the finances to get a second or vacation home. A time-share may be the next perfect option for you. A time-share is an alternative long-term vacation purchase that can provide you the right to accommodate and use a vacation home depending on the terms of agreement for a specified period each year. <br /><br /> Here are some guidelines and steps on how you can find the best time-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/share+purchase" rel="tag">share purchase</a> that can fit your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/lifestyle" rel="tag">lifestyle</a> needs. <br /><br /> 1. You have to shop around before you get the purchase. Find for those promotional offers by <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/real+estate+developers" rel="tag">real estate developers</a>. Take advantage of these offers, you may visit their resorts and vacation houses for a free trial use. <br /><br /> 2. Assess the accessibility of the time-share location. It should have a related interest according to your lifestyle and recreational activities. Make sure that the vacation home is not too far for travel. <br /><br /> 3. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ask" rel="tag">Ask</a> for some testimonies of those who currently have their time-shares. Ask about their satisfaction concerning their time-sharing agreements and conditions. <br /><br /> 4. Know the terms and policies with the time-share you are going to purchase. You have to learn about the maintenance and services fees with the particular time-share unit that they have purchased. The fess for the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/maintenance+services" rel="tag">maintenance services</a> usually in the hundreds or some may even cost you thousands of dollars in a year. <br /><br /> 5. Find a time-share that will cover everything in the maintenance and services like the cost you pay for the cleaning, taxes, landscaping, utilities, maintenance and other important things. <br /><br /> 6. Look for a time-share that will give you the option to exchange your time-share from week to week to your other preferred resort. These terms are called external exchanges. In addition, you may also exchange your time-share for a different week. This time-share is called internal exchange. <br /><br /> 7. You may look for time-share options on the internet that offers the best deals and great buys. Two of the biggest time-share companies like <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/interval+international" rel="tag">Interval International</a> and Resorts Condominium International provides you access in their websites free tours and promos. <br /><br /> 8. Ask whether your time-share company allows clients to obtain unused time-share weeks that can be used for future accommodations. <br /><br /> 9. Know the terms involved on how you can rent out your remaining time-share week. Many time-share owners rent out some of their property rights for a specified rental amount that can equal the cost of the maintenance and services fees. <br /><br /> 10. You have to consider purchasing time-share directly from credible owners rather than going to the customer assistance of the resort. In this way, you may see a wider view on the scope of the time-share that the owner purchased from the resort. <br /><br /> 11. It is advisable that you visit the property before purchasing it. Look around or you may even rest a couple of hours and make a feel of the environment. if you feel relaxed and comfortable with the place, you may negotiate for a much reasonable and affordable price. <br /><br /> Do not fall on those dealers that pressure you to buy a time-share in an instant. It is important that you tae your time and assess everything before purchasing. Make sure you have the finances and resources to own a time-share. Take your time in reviewing all the terms and policies involving the resorts time-share allocations and ownership rights. <br /><br /> All Rights Reserved, This content may be reprinted as long as it remains unchanged and the links are intact and active.  <bio>Jay has invested in timeshares for many years and rather than stepping into the market blindly checkout his website <a href="http://www.timesharesale.info" >http://www.timesharesale.info</a> for more information. </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ By definition, a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/legacy" rel="tag">legacy</a> is something that comes down to someone from a predecessor or from the past. Most of us want to leave behind some kind of legacy for our children and grandchildren, or for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/future+generations" rel="tag">future generations</a>. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/many+people+think" rel="tag">Many people think</a> of a legacy only in terms of some financial bequest or gift. Those with the means to do so might build a wing on a hospital or fund a professorship or a scholarship. And these are wonderful and meaningful ways to leave behind a legacy. But a legacy can mean many things besides money or endowed professorships or hospital wings. A legacy can also be wisdom or a contagious commitment to improving the community, or even the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/story+of+our+lives" rel="tag">story of our lives</a> =96 the good times and the bad times =96 and the important life lessons we learned. Some people simply want to try to teach future generations so they will not make the same mistakes. <br /><br /> There are many ways to leave a meaningful legacy, even if you are not wealthy. Here are a few ideas to start your thinking about the kind of legacy you might want to leave behind. <br /><br /> 1.Share the stories your predecessors passed down to you. Many stories are actually living accounts of history. If they are not passed down, they are lost. Whether you record them on audio or video storage or you write them down, it is safe to assume that <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/somewhere+down+the+line" rel="tag">somewhere down the line</a> someone will be interested in those stories. Another way to leave family stories behind is to work with your local library or an internet site and let them help you record the stories. <br /><br /> 2.<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/share+your+thoughts" rel="tag">Share your thoughts</a> on the big events of your lifetime. Each of us has lived through a time of many monumental historical and social events and changes. Your thoughts and reactions to those events tell the stories from different angles. Your point of view might be very important to future generations. Share your actions, but also share your reactions =96 your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/thoughts+and+feelings" rel="tag">thoughts and feelings</a>. Share your thoughts about how those events changed your life and the lives of others. <br /><br /> 3.Share your reasons for the deeply held beliefs and commitments of your life. Share the principles by which you live. It is often fairly easy for later generations to get a sense of what we did in our lives. It is not always so easy to understand why we did things or made choices. Understanding how your beliefs influenced your life might help someone else discover a helpful approach to directing their lives. <br /><br /> 4.Share the stories of why some of the things you will leave behind are important to you. It is not uncommon for a grandchild to be left some seemingly insignificant item when a grandparent passes on. It means far more when they are also given an explanation of why you cherished the item and why you chose that individual to have the item when you are gone. <br /><br /> 5.Share the joys in your life and the intangible things that made you who you are. Write or record for the next generation why you love, for example, jazz or classical music. Tell them what it brings to your life. Leave behind a list of the books you found meaningful and think everyone should read =96 and tell them why. <br /><br /> Each of us is a link in the chain of life. Every part of the legacy we leave behind keeps a chain intact. The parts of the legacy we don't pass on may be lost forever. No matter who you are, where you live, or what you did for a living, you are a unique and important individual. Your experience matters. <br /><br /> As you design your personal legacy, don't forget to pass on the extremely important intangibles that give life true meaning. <br /><br /> Copyright 2007 by Dr. Cynthia Barnett   <bio>Dr. Cynthia Barnett is a fired up retired educator who is now a professional retirement lifestyle coach.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/helpful+hints" rel="tag">Helpful Hints</a> on Time-Share Buying <br /><br /> Buying a timeshare can be a tricky thing. It is not a necessity; it is most <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/definitely" rel="tag">definitely</a> a luxury. Many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/people+welcome" rel="tag">people welcome</a> the idea of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/travel" rel="tag">travel</a>, but in a society where people tend to be overextended more often than not, travel is a luxury that is never realized or if it is realized, it is realized at the expense of many things such as sufficient savings and an adequate <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/retirement+plan" rel="tag">retirement plan</a>. <br /><br /> America is a society of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/instant+gratification" rel="tag">instant gratification</a> rather than long-term goals and planning. Owning a time-share allows the owner a little slice of sunshine or snow (whichever the preference would be) for a certain amount of time each year. You can choose to have a certain week each year or any week during a certain season. This allows some flexibility. There is always the possibility of exchanging weeks with someone else or giving your week away to a friend or relative one year. You also have the option of purchasing multiple weeks. <br /><br /> One thing to keep in mind is that a time-share is not an investment. It is highly unlikely that you will ever recoup your investment. But it is important to insure that the time you own the time-share and the amount of enjoyment you received from it are worth the investment. If you do not share this feeling, perhaps a time-share is not for you. It is definitely not for you if your goal is to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/make+money" rel="tag">make money</a> in the future on your transaction. <br /><br /> Here are some tips that will help you have a great time-share buying experience. <br /><br /> 1) Do your homework. Make sure you know exactly what you are getting for the purchase amount so that there are no surprises down the road. Make sure you know what kind of facility your share will provide, how many rooms, how many days, any services provided, and any associated fees. <br /><br /> 2) Check out the group you are purchasing from. You do not want to spend this kind of money only to discover that you've been had. Make sure the people you are dealing with have a good track record for honesty and integrity. <br /><br /> 3) Talk to others who have time-shares with the same company and the same facility. Ask if they are happy with their experience and if they have any advice to give you. People love to talk about themselves and are often more than willing to share both good and bad experience if you are willing to listen. <br /><br /> 4) See if they offer a 'preview' weekend. This can be something as simple as a weekend at a reduced rate provided you attend a meeting (this meeting generally consists of them trying to draw you into the deal). It's a good idea to attend one of these details before purchasing if at all possible though just to see how you like the facility, the area, and the amenities available. <br /><br /> 5) Do not buy a time-share if you are not in the financial position to do so. This seems like such simple advice and yet it overlooked more than any other advice that is given. This should be a luxury once you've reached a point in your life when you can enjoy it not one more thing that will work to overextend your financial situation. <br /><br /> If you follow these simple steps you should be well on your way to time-share ownership and a nice relaxing vacation. Besides you deserve a chance to relax after the hard work of choosing the right time-share for you.   <bio>Gray Rollins is a featured writer for YourTimeshares.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Using a trailing stop in your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stock+trading" rel="tag">stock trading</a> is a handy way to protect your profits as well as limit your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/losses" rel="tag">losses</a>. One of the obvious and best advantages of using a trailing stop is that it's possible to limit your losses if the market starts to move against your current position. It is also possible that your gains can be limitless. <br /><br /> The trailing stop gets its name, because it is dynamic, it trails the movement of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stock+price" rel="tag">stock price</a> as the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stock+moves" rel="tag">stock moves</a> in your direction. Let's say for instance you've purchased a hundred shares of XYZ company for $50 a share. Let's further say that you <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/have+decided+that" rel="tag">have decided that</a> you will limit your losses to two dollars and that this will be the size of your trailing stop. If the market immediately moves against you, then all 100 shares will be sold at the stock price of $48 and your loss at this point will be two dollars times 100 shares or $200. <br /><br /> Now let's examine the different scenario. Let's examine a scenario that we would actually love to see happen. Let's say the price of the stock goes in our favor, and then goes to $55 per share. At this point the trailing stop would move from $48 per share to $53 per share. Now if the market moves from the current price of $55 per share to $53 per share, then, we are fortunate to have locked in a profit of three dollars per share, times 100 shares for a profit of $300. We were able to profit even though the market did not continue to move in our direction at the time. <br /><br /> Like any other tool in your stock trading toolbox <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/trailing+stop+order" rel="tag">trailing stop order</a>s have their place and their uses. The real objective, of course, is to preserve profits as the market moves in your direction. The trailing stop order may not be perfect for each and every <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stock+transaction" rel="tag">stock transaction</a> that you make, but it has tremendous flexibility when used correctly.   <bio>Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro you'll discover the best Stock Trading tips, tricks, and techniques as well as valuable resources and information at <a href="http://www.tradingknowhow.com" >http://www.tradingknowhow.com</a> .

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ "Interesting," I murmured, much calmer now, "I never thought of it that way." <br /><br /> "Here's another law of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/prosperity" rel="tag">prosperity</a>. Whatever your talent or gift is, give it to the world as freely and as joyfully as possible. The more you give the more you get. You'll find this <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/law+well" rel="tag">law well</a> hidden or disguised in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/holy+books" rel="tag">holy books</a> of many religions. You've heard it said,`Give and it shall be given unto you.' You cannot outgive the Universe. Give of that which you have. Whatever your lot in life, there are many who wish they were in your shoes. Share whatever little you have and it will return to you man if old, in surprising ways." <br /><br /> "Some people feel that they have very little and so,they cannot afford to be generous," I said. "They say it's difficult for them to give when they themselves are struggling to survive. What do you tell them?" <br /><br /> "John, if you find it difficult to share when you have very little, believe me, you will find it ten times more difficult to share when you have plenty. Instead of saying,`When I am rich, I'll give to others,' give to others first and you'll end up being rich. It doesn't need to be material things. You can share your time, talents, attention or compassion just as you can share your bread. A wise person once wrote a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/little+ditty" rel="tag">little ditty</a> that goes like this: <br /><br /> A man there was and they called him mad, The more he gave, the more he had. <br /><br /> "And never give up hope. The word prosperity itself comes from the root word `prospere,' meaning to go forward in hope. Faith, hope and love will help solve any problem. You don't need faith to have hope, but you need hope to have faith. Hope is the enemy of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fear" rel="tag">fear</a>. Fear says you'll fail. Hope says it's possible that you'll succeed. Fear says you'll lose your job. Hope says you'll find a better one. Fear says time is running out. Hope says hang in there a little while longer." <br /><br /> To read the rest of the story visit <a href="http://www.spiritual-simplicity.com" >http://www.spiritual-simplicity.com</a>   <bio>Lecturer, entrepreneur and MBA business consultant, John Harricharan is the author of the award-winning book, "When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat."

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Even if you conduct a fundamental analysis on your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/target+company" rel="tag">target company</a>, before you invest, you will want to use a few tools to help you dig deeper and discover more about the company. Sometimes, this can be more useful than any charts or graphs you can obtain. <br /><br /> 1. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/earnings+per+share" rel="tag">Earnings per Share</a> <br /><br /> This means that the company is not by itself an indication of how much its stocks are worth - other factors such as industry trends must be considered. Earnings per share is much more useful information than earnings by itself. Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/net+earnings" rel="tag">net earnings</a> by the number of outstanding shares. For example: <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/abc+company" rel="tag">ABC company</a> had net earnings of $1 million and 100,000 outstanding shares for an EPS of 10 (1,000,000 / 100,000 = 10. . This information is useful for comparing two companies in a certain industry but should not be the deciding factor when choosing stocks. <br /><br /> 2. Price to Earning Ratio <br /><br /> The Price to Earning Ratio (P/E) shows the relationship between <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stock+price" rel="tag">stock price</a> and company earnings. It is calculated by dividing the share price by the Earnings per Share. In our example above of ABC company the EPS is 10 so if it has a price per share of $50 the P/E is 5 (50 / 10 = 5. . The P/E tells you how much <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/investors" rel="tag">investors</a> are willing to pay for that particular companys earnings. P/Es can be read in a variety of ways. A high P/E could mean that the company is overpriced or it could mean that investors expect the company to continue to grow and generate profits. A low P/E could mean that investors are wary of the company or it could indicate a company that most investors have overlooked. <br /><br /> 3. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/price+to+sales" rel="tag">Price to Sales</a> Ratio <br /><br /> When a company has no earnings, there are other tools available to help investors judge its worth. New companies in particular often have no earnings, but that does not mean they are bad investments. The Price to Sales ratio (P/S) is a useful tool for judging new companies. It is calculated by dividing the market cap (stock price times number of outstanding shares) by total revenues. An alternate method is to divide current share price by sales per share. P/S indicates the value the market places on sales. The lower the P/S the better the value. <br /><br /> 4. Price to Book Ratio <br /><br /> Book value is determined by subtracting liabilities from assets. The value of a growing company will always be more than book value because of the potential for future revenue. The price to book ratio (P/B) is the value the market places on the book value of the company. It is calculated by dividing the current price per share by the book value per share (book value / number of outstanding shares). Companies with a low P/B are good value and are often sought after by long term investors who see the potential of such companies. <br /><br /> 5. Dividend Yield <br /><br /> If all you are looking for are big dividends, then you are a smart investor. Dividend yield is useful for determining the percentage return a company pays in the form of dividends. It is calculated by dividing the annual dividend per share by the stocks price per share. Some people invest in a very sucessful company and don't end up seeing any profits.  <bio>For more great investment related articles and resources check out <a href="http://123investments.info" >http://123investments.info</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[When most of us think about the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/death+of+a+friend" rel="tag">death of a friend</a> we think about someone that we worked with, that we went to school with, or became acquainted with in some way. In short, we think about our <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/human+friends" rel="tag">human friends</a> who have passed on. Dealing with the death of the people you know and love is difficult, but so to is the loss of a pet. Many people don't realize that the loss of a pet can be as painful as the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/loss+of+a+friend" rel="tag">loss of a friend</a> or family member. It sounds silly to those that do not have the love of that special dog, cat, bird, ferret, or another <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/furry+animal" rel="tag">furry animal</a>, but the love that you share with these animals is unlike the love that you will ever share with a human, making the loss of our animals difficult.<br><br><b>Don't Play Down Your Pain</b><br><br>If your pet has just passed away you'll be feeling immense grief, so don't play down your pain. A lot of people are hesitant to share with their friends and family members exactly how much they are hurting as their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pet+ages" rel="tag">pet ages</a>, gets sick, and dies. You need to express these feelings to those that share the love of your animal, or even those that are just good listeners. This is a difficult time, just like it would be if you had lost a person who was close to you.<br><br>Perhaps what makes dealing with the death of a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/furry+friend" rel="tag">furry friend</a> more difficult is that our time with animals is relatively short. The average dog lives just 10 to 12 years, a mere acquaintance in a human life. Many have said that the reason that we live so long is because it takes us at least one lifetime to learn how to love unconditionally. Animals don't have to live that long because they are born knowing trust and love and are here to teach us.<br><br>If you have had to make the difficult choice to put your pet to sleep, this can create a whole new level of grief. Here is your best friend and they need your help and the only thing that you can do for them is make them comfortable while they pass on. This is difficult, but you should know as a pet owner you have made the selfless decision to put your pet out of their misery before it got really bad. Don't allow yourself to feel guilty for doing this, as it is often the best and only choice for a humane pet owner.<br><br>When dealing with the loss of an animal you will likely go through the same grief process as you do when you grieve for a human being. You may feel shocked, sadness, anger, and then slowly you'll come to accept it. Someday in the future when you have gotten over the worst of the pain you will consider getting a new pet. There is nothing like the love our animals give us, and for pet owners it is often the desire for that unconditional love which has them going back for more, even after losing one of their beloved furry friends.<bio>Mike Vines, in association with <a href="http://griefmanagement.org/">GriefManagement.org</a> and <a href="http://forum.griefmanagement.org//">GriefManagement.org Forums</a>, seeks to provide a safe and congenial home to those suffering from grief, along with the hope and understanding from a community of concerned individuals willing to share their own experiences to help others through the difficulties of life.</bio>]]></content:encoded>

Families gather to share meals and games or children that no longer live at home call their fathers on this day. One of the best ways that all children and adults can celebrate their fathers is by sending great father's day cards to the men they love the most. <br /><br /> Father's day cards are a great and simple way to show <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dad" rel="tag">dad</a>s how much you care. Every card shop sells a variety of father's day cards every year. You can choose a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/funny+card" rel="tag">funny card</a> that will get your dad laughing or a more serious card that reflects your heart toward him a little more. Card companies have come out with father's day cards that are appropriate for a five year old to give or for a fifty-five year old to send. So no matter what your age you have no excuse not to send your father a father's day card. Cards are written with various levels of depth and caring, so even people that do not feel extremely close to their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dads" rel="tag">dads</a> can <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/send+a+card" rel="tag">send a card</a>. <br /><br /> Father's day cards are a great opportunity to share with your dad the way you feel about him and the reasons why you are glad he is in your life. Think back to the past year of your life. Has your dad done anything special or said any kind words that have impacted you this year? If so, include those memories in your father's day card. Show your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gratefulness" rel="tag">gratefulness</a> for all of the ways your father has sacrificed for you over the years. Use father's day cards as a time to share with your dad all of your hopes about where your relationship will head in the year ahead. Tell him your desire to spend more time with him or to make him a bigger part of your life. <br /><br /> If creativity is a strong suit for you, consider making father's day cards of your own. What a great way to bless your dad with a card that you made just for him. You can include his favorite colors or a quote or saying that he particularly enjoys. <br /><br /> Make sure that you celebrate and appreciate your father the next time father's day comes around by giving him a father's day card that comes right from your heart.   <bio>Triston Huntsmin has become an expert in sending the perfect Father's Day card to his dad. He believes strongly in the importance of valuing the people you love. See <a href="http://www.allfathersdaycards.info">http://www.allfathersdaycards.info</a> to find the perfect card for the father in your life. </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ If you are looking for a place to go on your next <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/family+vacation" rel="tag">family vacation</a>, you should consider <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/time+share" rel="tag">time share</a>s. These are rental units that you and others `rent' together and share during different times of year. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/time+shares" rel="tag">Time shares</a> usually have three or four parties who pay rental dues that are used to pay the property taxes, upkeep and maintenance, and other costs associated with the home. Time shares are usually maintained by companies that own them. <br /><br /> When you decide to join a time share community or a company that owns homes in various parts of the world, you will have to schedule the times when you want to use the property, and for how long. You can join more than one time <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/share+company" rel="tag">share company</a> if you choose so you will have more choices when going on vacation. <br /><br /> Started in 1960, time shares have been growing in popularity ever since. When choosing a time share company, you should investigate the company by looking up their web site, asking others who are involved with the company, and checking to see if any complaints have been filed against the company. Unfortunately, there are a few companies that will take your money and then disappear. While they have great pictures of homes on their web site, they do not actually own them. You can find out if a time share company is legitimate by contacting the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/better+business+bureau" rel="tag">Better Business Bureau</a>. <br /><br /> Once you have found a house exchange or time share program you like, signing up is usually very easy. You will have to sign a `usage agreement' that states all of the rules pertaining to when the home will be available, paying extra maintenance costs, and the amount of people you can invite with you. Each company will have different rules about scheduling time, cleaning up the home before you leave, and maximum occupancy. <br /><br /> There are usually many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/amenities" rel="tag">amenities</a> to take advantage of when you stay in your time share. Pool passes, club house memberships, golf courses, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/private+docks" rel="tag">private docks</a>, and other amenities will make your family vacation even more enjoyable. If you have children, joining a time share in a community that has a lot of families, will give your family many opportunities to make friends and create wonderful memories. There are many time share communities in Florida, California, and other vacation spots you may want to visit. <br /><br /> Joining a time share will save you time and money on booking hotels and eating out each night. Most homes are fully equipped with kitchens, BBQ's, and other devices that you will be able to use. If you want to vacation in the same place each year, or you want to explore new regions, time shares are available for each. Make sure you read the agreement completely before signing it as there could be rules you may have to follow in order to avoid additional charges after your stay.   <bio>Peter Wilson frequently writes papers on topics relating to Benidorm and Costa Blanca. From his works (for instance <a href="http://www.alicante-spain.com" >http://www.alicante-spain.com</a> on Alicante ) he expressed his skill on the topic.   </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ A <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dividend+yield" rel="tag">dividend yield</a> in stock trading is the annual <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dividend+payments" rel="tag">dividend payments</a> by a company divided by the market cap of the company, which is the dividend per share divided by the price per share of stock for that company. This number is often expressed as a percentage. There are two types of dividend yield, those on <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/preferred+stock" rel="tag">preferred stock</a> and those on <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/common+stock" rel="tag">common stock</a>. <br /><br /> Preferred share <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dividend+yields" rel="tag">dividend yields</a> are given to owners of preferred stock, or shares. Dividend payments are stipulated by the prospectus. Preferred share owners calculate multiple yields which reflect the possible outcomes over the security life. The yield that is stated by the company may be different than the yields calculated by the investor. <br /><br /> Common <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stock+dividend" rel="tag">stock dividend</a> yields are different. With common stock, there is no stated dividend. Management of a company sets the dividends that are paid to owners of common shares, and these are usually in relation to the earnings of the company for that time period. Dividends are not guaranteed at a set rate, or even at all. Some dividend payments may be large, and others may be nonexistent. To calculate the dividend yield for common shares, the current yield is a better figure to use than future yield, which are not completely accurate. The current divident yield is gotten by taking the most recent full year dividend and dividing it by the current share price for that stock. <br /><br /> Dividend yields in stock trading refer to the amount of dividends for the past year divided by the price per share of the stock. Preferred stock offers better dividend yields and a guarantee that dividends will be paid. Common stock has no such guarantee. With common stocks, the dividends paid may vary if they are paid at all. Some companies and traders may try to accurately predict future dividends and the future dividend yield. This is not a smart move for most investors, as the stock market is basically unpredictable. By trying to predict future dividends, you could be setting yourself up for a loss if the market conditions change from what you thought they were going to be. Dividend yields are important financial tools that are used by investors in the stock market to help them invest in stocks that have a big potential for gains. Dividend yields are just one of the many analysis tools used by traders to minimize the risks when trading on the stock market. <br /><br /> Copyright =A9 2007 Joel Teo.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Generation <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/scrapbook" rel="tag">scrapbook</a>ing is a wonderful way for different <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/generations" rel="tag">generations</a> of your family to bond and share your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/family+history" rel="tag">family history</a>. Spend some time to get everyone in the family involved in creating scrapbooks. Not only will you share pictures and stories, it will be a wonderful bonding experience as well. <br /><br /> Scrapbook For Your Child <br /><br /> Start a scrapbook for your child and get him or her involved in creating the pages. You can create a new book each year together with your child. Include artwork, homework as well as current pictures of your child and friends. Ask your child to help in creating layouts, choosing embellishments and adding descriptive titles and text. Depending on your child's age, you may even want to let her do most of the scrapbooking and writing with a little assistance from your of course. You'll be surprised how much you will learn about your child's life outside of your home. The two of you will get to spend some quality time together and create a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/memento" rel="tag">memento</a> to remember it for years to come. <br /><br /> Scrapbook Your Family History <br /><br /> Record your family history in a scrapbook. Put your family's story on paper for future generations. Create a special generation scrapbook that tells the story of your own childhood, teenage years, or how you and your spouse met. When your children are grown, they will appreciate being able to get a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/glimpse" rel="tag">glimpse</a> of what your life was like back then. Keep adding to the scrapbook over the years and get everyone in the family involved in deciding what should be added. You will create a book that everyone in the family will cherish and pass on for years, maybe even generations to come. <br /><br /> Share Old <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/photo+albums" rel="tag">Photo Albums</a> <br /><br /> Go through old photo albums that have been in your family for decades. Spend some time with older <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/family+members" rel="tag">family members</a> to look through these albums. You will gain an appreciation for your family history and the life your family members lived long before you were born. You may also want to discuss options to preserve these old pictures. <br /><br /> If you would like to incorporate some of these pictures in your current scrapbooks, have copies made, or scan the pictures in your computer, edit them and then print. You can correct faded color and even some small tears and nicks with modern photo editing software. Plus you will have a digital version of the picture that will last long after the original photo deteriorates. <br /><br /> Grab that fabulous scrapbook that you bought months ago and saved for a special occasion and start generation scrapbooking today about yourself and your family. You will enjoy the process of creating that special book just as much as being able to share it with family members once it is finished.   <bio>Vera Raposo has been scrapbooking since her oldest child was 5. With tons of scrapbooking tips and ideas, Vera is now sharing some of her best scrapbooking ideas on her radio show at <a href="http://www.scrapperstalkradio.com" >http://www.scrapperstalkradio.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ These days people use their home computers for just about everything you can think of. This includes the ability to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/share+music" rel="tag">share music</a>. One of the easiest and most <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/efficient+software" rel="tag">efficient software</a> programs for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sharing+music" rel="tag">sharing music</a> is called Acquisition and it is compatible with the Macintosh. You can download and upload music at the same time. There is a rating system so you can feel confident sharing music with those you don't know but have good feedback. <br /><br /> Acquisition is a free program that you can access, but you will have to learn to accept the various advertising messages. It is really worth it though because it is one of the very best programs out there for sharing music. The files have been verified so you don't have to worry about receiving or sending out any type of virus when you are using Acquisition to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/access+music" rel="tag">access music</a> on your computer. <br /><br /> Most people who access music online are familiar with iTunes, and Acquisition is also compatible with it. I use them both to play music while on my computer or when I am <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/having+a+party" rel="tag">having a party</a>. Even my children are able to access the music library and listen to what they want from these two programs. <br /><br /> When you have a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/large+library" rel="tag">large library</a> of music stored on your computer it can become difficult to locate particular songs. The best program for this is known as Azureus because it allows you to share various types of files. I generally use Acquisition when I want to access new music and then switch to Azureus when I want to find a particular song or those songs by a particular artist. <br /><br /> I can tell you with confidence that these are among the best programs available for sharing music. I have tried most of them out there to see what they have to offer but these stand out from the rest. Even <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/napster" rel="tag">Napster</a> and Limewire just don't measure up. You may want to try them all out for yourself but I am positive you will get the same results as I have. <br /><br /> The issue of sharing music on your computer comes with some issues that you need to be aware of. Watch out for those who want to share the music you have paid for and have to offer but they don't give anything back in return. You also need to be careful not to step on any toes. There are controversial issues right now about the copyright laws for music. Make sure you only share music that you have paid for.   <bio>Salihu Ibrahim also provides valuable information on directv hdtv<br /><br />this website <a href="http://www.hdtv-guide-reviews.com" >http://www.hdtv-guide-reviews.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[If you are one of the people out there that does not know what a blog is... it is time you got involved in your own <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/blogging" rel="tag">blogging</a> adventure. Blogging can be fun. You can set up your own <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/personal+blog" rel="tag">personal blog</a>, there are many places that can be done for free. Use your favorite search engine, and do a search for andquot;free blogandquot;, you will find several resources. Look at the different options and see which one most appeals to you. <a href="http://<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/blogger" rel="tag">blogger</a>.com" >http://blogger.com</a> is one of the more popular ones, but you may find others that you like better. <br /><br /> A blog is a web log. I like to describe it as an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/online+diary" rel="tag">online diary</a> or journal. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/blogs" rel="tag">Blogs</a> are used for different purposes, either business or personal. Personal blogs are very popular, often used to share events going on in your life such as your recent vacation, family birthdays, reunions, or just to share your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/personal+thoughts" rel="tag">personal thoughts</a> and ideas. Businesses use blogs to share new products or services they offer to their customers. There is no limit to what you can put on your blog. Blogging is an opportunity to voice your opinion. Use caution that you are not slandering a person, product or business. If you make a statement like andquot;xjrkmproduct is poisonousandquot; you might be opening yourself to possible legal repercussions... however if you say andquot;xjrkmproduct tastes like poison to meandquot; then that is your opinion. <br /><br /> You can set you blog up to follow a particular theme, you will want to do some planning before you start your blog. Perhaps you want to share information about your favorite hobby. Start a list of things you want to cover on your blog. Do you want to add photos? Do you want to provide a list of recommended resources? You might want to do a search to see other blogs available on the topic you want to cover... see what you like or don't like about those blogs and make yours better! <br /><br /> You don't have to have a particular theme on your blog, it is perfectly ok to set up a blog and write whatever comes to mind. Hopefully you have thoughts going on in your head that others will enjoy reading about, but even that is not a requirement. If you enjoy blogging that is all that is important. <br /><br /> When you are starting out, it is not necessary to have your own domain name registered, but if you ever decide you want to take your blog to the next level, it is quite easy to add a blog to your own domain name. This will involve purchasing a domain name, and finding hosting for your domain name.  <bio>Check out <a href="http://www.blogger-blues.com" >http://www.blogger-blues.com</a> <a href="http://www.bloggers-tell.com" >http://www.bloggers-tell.com</a> or <a href="http://www.a1-directory.com" >http://www.a1-directory.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Most people don't value their failures--but Bill Bartmann does. In fact, when it comes to failure and success, no one knows the ropes better than he does. If that seems a little exaggerated, it's not. Among other life changes, Bartmann pulled himself from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/abject+poverty" rel="tag">abject poverty</a> to become the 25th wealthiest man in America. <br /><br /> "I've had a very interesting life," Bartmann says. "I've gone from being unemployed and almost unemployable, to employing more than 10,000 people. I've gone from being a million dollars in the hole and bankrupt to being over a billion dollars to the good." <br /><br /> And that's just the beginning. Bartmann, who has earned recognition from numerous institutions, as well as a permanent place in the Smithsonian Institute's Museum of American History, says his mission is to share his success strategies with as many people as possible. <br /><br /> "I've seen both sides of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/success+and+failure" rel="tag">success and failure</a>, and I've seen both of them up close and personal," says Bartmann. "It's because I've seen them, and have learned some things during my journey, that I want to share the things I've learned with the hope that it will provide some value for the people in the audience." <br /><br /> Because he's known more than his share of hard times, Bartmann says he teaches people how to react to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/adversity" rel="tag">adversity</a> in a way that makes their lives better. <br /><br /> "Most of us don't know how to react to the things that happen to us. We go into shock," he says. "We want to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/grab" rel="tag">grab</a> a bottle or grab a gun or grab a razor blade, because we fall into <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/despair" rel="tag">despair</a> or despondency. I show people none of that stuff is necessary." <br /><br /> Bartmann also says the way to dealing with adversity is deceptively simple. <br /><br /> "The simplest way to deal with adversity is to raise your self-confidence. If you can do that, then when things happen around you, you have the strength and the resolve to be able to deal with them honestly and straight-up," Bartmann says. <br /><br /> In his many speaking engagements across North America and Europe, including the upcoming chiropractic ICAME event in Las Vegas in January, Bartmann focuses on spending one-on-one time with as many attendees as possible. While, he admits, he can't fix all their problems, he does want to help make their lives easier. <br /><br /> "I'm not a psychologist," he stresses. "I'm not trying to cure all the ills of the world, but I do want to be able to talk to people one-on-one, to let them understand there is somebody out there who's been through the stuff they're going through, and there are some very simple things you can do that will make your life so much easier." <br /><br /> "I've had more failures than anyone else I've met in my whole life, but I've also had more successes than most people, because I've learned how to deal with my failures," Bartmann concludes. "That's what I want to show people."   <bio>Anyone in the chiropractic industry can download Dr. Porter's free chiropractic podcasts through iTunes or by visiting <a href="http://www.ParkerVegas.com" >http://www.ParkerVegas.com</a>.
