The mechanism of system is founded on thermal radiation and is similar to the previous techniques. Temperature and heating radiation are properties of any item. The ability of articles to absorb heat from contiguous structures allows to use heated floor to warm your feet, for example.

One more technique of heating is called forced air system. Its function is to blow heated air into the rooms. The disadvantage of this tool is that forced air mixes up small parts of different origin: dust, mold, spores and others, so this system can not be applied in the houses where people with allergies live. Moreover, hot air has just local action, it does not warm the room. As for radiant heating system, it's constructed to let the heat rise uniformly from the floor, in this way, the room is warmed evenly and keeps the temperature during longer period of time.
The radiant heating is highly efficient in large houses. Forced air means works for small houses, but do not forget about allergy troubles. Make sure your house is well-insulated, so the heat won't be lost through windows chinks or ceiling.
There are three types of radiant heating: electric system based on electric conductors, air system based on hot air under the floor, and hydronics founded on the application of hot water under the floor.
Warming techniques are numerous and it is up to you to take a decision which one is right for you. But as the practical experience shows the most effective way to warm a house is radiant heating.

This longer view enabled him to perceive what he believed were warning signs in the overall human psyche. His belief is that it seemed as if human's soaring technology was outstripping humanity's wisdoms.

"Something deeply fundamental in our vaunted civilization seems to be fading from human consciousness," wrote Byrne, author of Truth Shock: A Millenium Challenge (www.Trafford.com/05-2321). "But nothing constructively new appears to be emerging to take its place."

He described this world problem in two challenging postulates:

"It may be shown that knowledge of the nature and purpose of Man and the Universe is as abysmal as the proverbial pit, and that in spite of our towers of glass and steel and our computers and space probes we live in one of the darkest ages of history," he said. "It is therefore ironic that we should expend our genius attempting to reach the stars when our greatest and least explored horizons lie closest at hand, within ourselves."

It developed that the hiatus of knowledge he sought to fill had to do precisely with "the nature and purpose of Man, God, and the Universe."

His theory brings it all back to "square one" by maintaining that for humanity in this new millennium it is time for "childhood's ending."

"The hand-holding is past." he wrote. "Our swaddling clothes are off, and a crisis has arrived where the milk of parables must be replaced by the ‘meat' of Knowing."

Avoiding shop-worn philosophy or the pitfalls of dogma, Byrne utilized an unusual background of science and metaphysics to develop a new and practical science of cosmic contemplation.

His beliefs range broadly across the whole gamut of unanswered questions from the nature and purpose of Man and the Universe to God, Creation, the Big Bang rebuttal, abortion, the gay phenomenon, terrorism, ad infinitum. His ideas are aimed at changing the human perspective.

Byrne's focus in his 90s is what he called "new Wisdom revelations," which have occurred in the past century and half and have been added to the overall matrix of transcendental knowledge. The "shock" involved is that Byrne feels he has uncovered pragmatic proof that the long prophesized "emergence" is in process. This leads to the "‘meat' of Knowing" that delivers a practical description of the metaphysical nature of Man and the spiritual Hierarchy which guides him.

Byrne believes that for scientists, laymen, and clerics alike, the carefully graded extension of conceptuality through his ideas has the potential of expanding consciousness to the point where faith and belief are exchanged for Seeing and Knowing.

The Home Depot store clerk lost his job because he refused to remove a button from his company uniform that read "One nation under God." Home Depot had asked him to remove the button several times, and even offered a substitute button that read "United We Stand."

Keezer was wearing the button to honor his brother, a National Guardsman readying to deploy to Iraq soon. Home Depot didn't dispute that fact, but had an issue with a reference to Christianity on his store apron.

More than a first amendment issue, though, it's indicative of a country that is changing its views on religion, and should look more toward its past to find answers for its future.

Keezer's view is that as an American, he should have the right to express his religious views any way he sees fit - and he's right. As an American, he made a choice not to remove the button, knowing there would be consequences. The problem with his argument is that when he is on the company clock, he's an employee of Home Depot first, and an American second. Businesses have a right to appeal to a broad marketplace and they also have the right to demand a certain dress code of their employees. A Christian message on a company uniform implies the company endorses Christianity, and despite Keezer's personal beliefs, his first amendment rights to not extend so far that he can be permitted to speak for the company regarding religion.

On a similar track, some Christian activists are up in arms over the new Hate Crimes legislation that President Obama signed into law recently, believing that they could be persecuted for espousing their religious belief that homosexuality is wrong.

The truth is the law punishes actions, not thoughts or words - unless the words incite others to act. If a preacher exhorts his congregation to oppose homosexuals violently, clearly the law might be applicable and result in the prosecution of the preacher if violent acts could be traced back to his congregation. Is that a violation of freedom of speech? Based on former Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes' free speech test, not so much. His "yelling fire in a crowded theater" example applies to people exhorting violence against anyone, and would not be protected speech, even without the law. The new law simply strengthens the punishment for doing so.
Meanwhile, in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, people are starting to get it right. For the last year, students and teachers erected banners exhorting Bible quotes at Fort Oglethorpe High School football game to motivate their team to emerge victorious. An agnostic parent complained, and the banners came down. As a result, the majority of the parents in Fort Oglethorpe - a buckle notch of the Bible Belt - complained to high heaven that their free speech rights were being violated.

The school board rightly explained that the school, an arm of the government, could not endorse one religion over another per the separation of church and state embodied in what is called the "establishment" clause of the Constitution. Instead, fans, parents and cheerleaders took the initiative to create their own banners and T-shirts with the Biblical phrases.

The result? Instead of a single banner on the field, the stadium was now filled with religious signs, banners and messages. The school, surprisingly to the parents, said "no problem."

In Oglethorpe, both the letter and the spirit of the first amendment worked. A government-sponsored religious display was eliminated, the people spoke their minds, and by using personal displays of their spirituality to counter the loss of the government-sponsored display, they actually discovered that they are able to spread their message more effectively and broadly. Many parents have even dropped their fight to change the school's policy, as well.

And that's really the way it's supposed to work. The founding fathers did not want to be within driving distance of any kind of government-endorsement of religion when they wrote the Constitution, because they just crossed an ocean to escape the state-run Church of England. The establishment clause exists because the only way to make sure that Christians can practice their religion freely without affront by the government is to make sure that Muslims, Jews, Quakers, Mormons and even Wiccans can practice their religion freely, as well.

And that's the nature of spirituality in a free country.

Many new merchants will simply sign an agreement giving them the capacity to accept credit cards without ever reading the requisites and conditions. I know this because I was one of them. I had to learn this information the hard way. I know of several companies, sell both actual and intangible goods, who have never had a charge back because they simply follow certain steps.

In short;
1) Get a tracking number when shipping
2) Get the customer to sign an authorization form
3) get the customer to say "I authorize so and so amount to be charged to my card for the following product" make sure that this is recorded.

Before going into the explanation of these 3 steps let me first give the examples of a couple of scenarios;

Let's say someone has a Yahoo or Ebay depot. Numerous studies have been down that have shown that if you don't have some way of accepting credit cards that you are giving up over 90% of potential sales.

Some consumers say they are terrified to use their credit cards online because of all the threats of theft. Most merchant services require the card holder to not only enter their card number but also the expiration date and on the back to the right of your account number there is another number which is 3 or 4 digits depending on the type of card. With all this info the oonly way your card could be used without your permission is if the actual card had been stolen.

Eventually, along with your numbers will most likely be the requirement of either your fingerprint or a retina scan. This technology is right around the corner. In the meantime when using your card make sure that the site you are using your card with uses what's called SSL encryption.

Back to our 3 steps, with item number 1, even if you are selling a product that is not a actual item, put some documentatiuon like maybe a welcome kit on CD and ship this product to your customer. Make sure that you use a service that uses tracking numbers and will show whoi signed for the product.. If you are selling something like an ebook then put a copy on CD and ship it to your new customer as a backup copy.

With a service like Paypal, if you can show a tracking number when you ship the product and Paypal can see that someone signed for the product when it was delivered then you will never get a charge back from a service like Paypal. Now if you combine this step with either step 2 or 3 then you have a better chance and winning the Lotto then you do of getting a charge back.

When you a buy a product from a merchant like Walgreen's or your regional grocery store the reason that you are not able to dispute the item is because at checkout you actually sign a credit card authorization form. A friend of mine, who takes his orders via the telephone always faxes the customer an authorization for and has them sign it and return it before any product is shipped. Companies who are charging for a service would be protected if they followed this procedure.

I have talked with the actual credit card companies like Discover, Visa, MasterCard and American Express about this. I once bought a software product that was supposed to do certain things. I tried to dispute the charge but because I had signed an authorization form and because the company had shipped me a backup copy on CD I was not able to dispute this charge. Discover told me that all they cared about was that I received the product. I lost $500 for this software because the damn thing didn't work.

The final kicker would be if you had recorded this transaction. Before doing this you need to let the other party know that they are being recorded but if I were to charge for a $5000 cruise and the travel company let me know that the transaction would be tape recorded then even if I never went on this cruise the only way I could get reimbursed is if the travel agency decided to issue me either a refund or a credit

Source: http://www.articletrader.com ]]> http://www.articletrader.com/society/my-last-thoughts-about-iraq.html http://www.articletrader.com/society/my-last-thoughts-about-iraq.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:13:25 -0500
Paul Batou, author of My Last Thoughts About Iraq, from Xilbris Corporation (www.paulbatou.com) knows this longing for freedom and has expressed it through his art and poetry. His desire is for the freedom of a gypsy, to express himself fully through the arts, to dance, sing, paint, write and dream.

"Freedom became a desire for water and bread to share with the poor and homeless," wrote Batou. "Freedom was having a pencil to write, a crayon to color, and a guitar to play."

Growing up in a war torn Iraq, Batou longed for the freedom he knew existed. He was witness to the horror and destruction of war, the oppression of his people. He grew up in schools that taught of oppression and war, where fighting was education. The blame, he concluded, was not just with Saddam Hussein; it was with the people for giving him the tools that allowed him to oppress them.

"For centuries, we had been trained to follow the orders of so many invaders; we had never been allowed to think for ourselves or to seek an education," wrote Batou. "We were raised to obey the mullah, or for Christians, obey the priest; to love your leader, and respect your superiors. When you believe in sacrifice, you will give anything."

Batou dreamed of his native land as a free and beautiful Iraq. His journey brought him to America, where he believed he would finally find the freedom he searched for. What he found, instead, was that his nationality would not allow him to escape. When the statue of Hussein came tumbling down, he thought there would finally be freedom for Iraq, but there was not.

"In reality, thieves landed between two rivers and stole the innocence and dignity of Iraq over and over again," wrote Batou. "They left us with nothing to be proud of and nothing to teach our children."

Batou longed for a day when there would be art and music again. After sixteen years in America he is still searching for answers. When will the world see the person and not the nationality?

I am not Assyrian or Chaldean or Akkadian.
I am not a Christian or Muslim or Buddhist.
I am human.
(from the poem "Identity")

The beauty and openness of Batou's poetry allowed the reader reach into his soul and feel his sorrow. In the poem Minor Dreams, the eloquent simplicity of his statement was heard loud and clear.

I am a kid.
Born in Iraq.
My dreams were minor,
A cup of milk or water to drink,
A crayon to color,
A pencil to write,
A book to read,
A toy to play with,
A friend to talk to,
A pet to love,
A father to listen to,
A mother to hug,
A bed to sleep,
A home to rest,
A light to see with,
A school to study at,
A song to listen to,
A country to grow in.
I am a kid,
Born in Iraq,
My dreams were sanctioned,
Shame on you all.
(from the poem "Minor Dreams")

Batou acknowledged that there is oppression everywhere, not just in Iraq. The solution, he maintained, is education.

"If I were asked what I would tell every parent in the world, I would respond with the urgency of parents to send their children to school and be more involved in their progression," wrote Batou. "Teach your children to love music and art, to appreciate great works."

"Sexual abuse affects the lives of one in four girls and one in six boys by the age of 18," said Trish Kinney, a Huffington Post Blogger and survivor of a sexually abusive household. "With an estimated 39 million sex abuse victims in the U.S. today, more than 30 percent of all sexual abuse goes unreported. Carry over the fact that 80 percent of perpetrators deny the abuse, it makes for a crisis of massive proportions."

The effect of abuse manifests itself in many ways, according to statistics from a wide array of studies, reported by the Darkness to Light foundation:

• Children who have been victims of sexual abuse are more likely to experience physical health problems (e.g., headaches).
• Victims of child sexual abuse report more symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, more sadness, and more school problems than non-victims.
• Victims of child sexual abuse are more likely to experience major depressive disorder as adults.
• Young girls who are sexually abused are more likely to develop eating disorders as adolescents.
• Adolescent victims of violent crime have difficulty in the transition to adulthood, are more likely to suffer financial failure and physical injury, and are at risk to fail in other areas due to problem behaviors and outcomes of the victimization.
• Victims of child sexual abuse report more substance abuse problems. 70-80 percent of sexual abuse survivors report excessive drug and alcohol use.
• Young girls who are sexually abused are 3 times more likely to develop psychiatric disorders or alcohol and drug abuse in adulthood, than girls who are not sexually abused.
• Among male survivors, more than 70 percent seek psychological treatment for issues such as substance abuse, suicidal thoughts and attempted suicide. Males who have been sexually abused are more likely to violently victimize others.
• Nearly 50 percent of women in prison state that they were abused as children.
• Over 75 percent of serial rapists report they were sexually abused as youngsters.

Kinney recounted her experiences in a sexually abusive household in her autobiography, Silver Platter Girl, from Seven Locks Press (www.silverplattergirl.com), and like many of the silent masses, was afraid of confronting family members who were not flattered by certain revelations.

"Instead of being a proud first time published author, I have been sick with worry over what it would do to a handful of other people whose very personal stories are intertwined with my own, how my children would feel knowing certain things about their parents that no child should have to know, how it would affect my business, and whether it was the right thing to do," said Kinney.

"No, there has been no celebrating. But I figure that if someone has the nerve to tell, tell it all, every painful detail in a published book, then maybe we can desensitize our culture and we will no longer feel stained by what happened to us and by telling what happened to us. By ending the silence, we can begin to end the plague and all the horrific side effects it continues to have on our nation and our children."

Today there are many on-line dating sites where men can get to know potential Russian wives. There are also on-line marriage agencies offering the corresponding services for a small rate, if any. Some of them are based in Russia, largely in Moscow and St. Petersburg, others are situated in other countries. A number of users prefer traditional offline dating to on-line dating, since they can realise if they are compatible right from the very start by reading candidates' profiles or communicating by means of e-mails. When it comes to an offline date, reliable marriage agencies organize everything a foreigner needs, for example passport and visa issues, translators etc., for a successful date.

Some people abroad frequently ask the question why Russian ladies hunt for boy-friends outside the fatherland. First and foremost, the current demographic situation in Russia is very urgent. Women considerably outnumber men, mostly women over 30. So, 30-year-olds are unlikely to find a potential husband in the fatherland. Second, there are a number of Russian men addicted to alcohol. Alcoholism does not only destroy males' health but also their families. Third, due to the constantly changing economic situation in the country the great majority of Russian women take up jobs, commonly on a full-time basis, to supplement their husbands' income or quite often to earn a living to support the physical needs of their families as the only breadwinner. Nevertheless, after a hard workday they have a number of duties to perform at home, such as raising children and keeping house. Rare are cases when Russian husbands can earn enough, so that their wives may stay at home.

So, miserable Russian ladies leave the homeland in search of steady, secure life with overseas men. Educated women knowing a foreign language, sooner English, find it easier to establish relationships with overseas men, because they overcome cultural and language differences and get accustomed to a new way of life quicker. Their ability to make a career and perform family responsibilities simultaneously makes them perfect wives for western men.

Nevertheless, some Russian girls do not aim at striking up a durable relationship with western men, but at deriving benefits from them, often financially. Therefore, one should be wary Russian scammers. Fortunately for men, cases of fraud are not numerous.

In general, the existence of dating websites and online marriage agencies help people of different nationalities, educational background, financial status make perfect matches.

Russian ladies, disappointed by relationships with Russian men, seek happiness outside Russia. Online dating websites and on-line marriage agencies are intended to connect like-minded people. Here you will find a soulmate.

Many people still do not have a funeral plan once they die. Not organising something like this could leave the family arguing over what is best for you, and with most people cost can be a factor in this. Yet some people decide to invest the time in planning what they want to happen on their passing. Leaving clear instructions on how you want a ceremony (if any) to be run, what songs you want, whether you want to be buried of cremated are all things that can be addressed and with detailed instructions there will be much less room for error.

There is always a lot of cost associated with a funeral, the casket, the service, flowers which to some is a lot to spend. Yet the best investment is that of the headstone. This, after all, will be what is left after the days events. This should be the element that marks the individual's life and their achievements and even acknowledge those that have been left behind.

The headstone needs to be made of something that will stand the test of time. Something that is hard wearing yet doesn't feel industrial. A popular choice is marble or granite headstones mainly dude to their resistance to the elements and strong durability. There are many different elements that can be incorporated into the design and making of a headstone.

In addition to headstones many memorial care companies now offer an after care service. A service like this allows the headstone to be maintained and looked after on a regular basis. Maintenance would include keeping the grave tidy, clean and clear of over grown flowers and debris. This is ideal for people who don't live near their departed family members yet still want to maintain a level of care for them.

Remember to leave a well planned will and instructions to indicate how you want your service to go. This will make the process a lot easier for those that will already have a lot to deal with.
