Where do you go to get the internet marketing education that will truly make the difference? The difference in your understanding, or (if you’re building a business) the difference in how you approach the marketing of your business, or perhaps your job (if you’re responsible for directing the marketing tactics for a brand)?I personally spent 12 months clicking around on the internet in search of that right company that provides the education and the tools to become a Master Internet Marketer. And, also provides the environment where you learn to start implementing, and start taking action on what you are learning. And, as a result, start making the difference and start achieving your goals.And, why did I do this (click around for 12 months, that is)? Because, I believe in affiliating with the-best-of-the-best and it does take time to find just the right source that will work for your needs.SO – Let me help you save all that time and share with you the steps, the thought processes, on how to find that right internet educational resource that will work for your online needs and goals.[First, let me preface, however, the following steps with one thought. I know Internet Marketing is now being served up on the college campuses. Brilliant. If I was headed off to college, I would take what I could on the subject. Even, make Internet Marketing my major. But, I chose to learn (not from books), but from the leaders in the industry, who are making it happen and producing the results. Because at the end of the day - it's results]One more comment:As I’ve stated in other articles, knowing internet marketing is rapidly becoming the most valuable commodity you can own in today’s global economy. Learning how to leverage the internet, is becoming the most prized skill set you can capture. Internet growth has increased 362% in just the last 9 years, and reaches over 1.6 Billion people worldwide. And, the internet growth is expected to continue, since we’re only at a 24.7% world penetration level.OK. So – once you’ve decided to get out of your comfort zone and to start learning this stuff, where do you go to get the education you want? What do you look for? How do you go about it all? What should you be asking before you decide if this is the company where you can really learn to become an Internet Marketer (or for some, A Master Internet Millionaire Marketer)?10 Steps To Help You Find The Right Internet Marketing Education:1) MINDSET:Everything starts here. Entrepreneurial vision. Faith. The ability to see the potential of the future before it’s here. “Can Do” attitude. A level of perseverance and tenacity against all odds and challenges. The attitude that “the buck stops here” and you take accountability for the results. Ability to accept never ending change, because we are in an Internet Evolution.So – because of the importance of “mindset”, find that resource that not only includes brilliant marketing minds on the internet, but also provides some of the industry’s top mindset coaches. Make certain your curriculum includes subject matter on the importance of leadership and developing leaders.As you learn internet marketing and you become more visible online, you will begin to assume the role of a leader. And, it’s understood, not everyone comes with the ready made entrepreneurial visionary mind. So – go out and learn it. One of the best ways to develop a successful mindset, is to spend time studying other successful entrepreneurs.Make certain you are aware of your associations. Your network of people you surround yourself with, will determine your financial networth. Associate with leaders. Once you are clear on your goals and the person you want to become, your daily actions will reflect this.2) YOUR “WHY”:What is your reason for learning internet marketing? This is huge. You need your reason in order to keep you motivated through the challenges. Take some time on this step if you need.You may of heard this saying: What you believe, is what you do, and what you do, determines your lifestyle. If you believe in the power of the internet, then you will stop everything right now to study/learn/implement. If you study/learn/implement, then you will have the possibility of a lifestyle change.It all starts with your “why.”3) YOUR INVESTMENT:You usually invest Time, Money and/or Energy. You can start out learning right now with little (or no) money. You do not need the big bucks to spend on your education in the beginning. Stay within your budget each step throughout your education.As you progress, you will naturally want to expand your knowledge which then may require (if you desire) a specialist where your investment in money will start to kick in. The beautiful advantage of marketing “online” versus “offline” is money. You can learn the “online” marketing tactics that are FREE.So – look for that educational resource that provides within their Internet Curriculum an education on the FREE internet marketing tactics, such as: Social Media (Facebook, My Space), Article Marketing, Press Releases, Blogging, Forum Marketing, Social Bookmarking, Squidoo, Hub Pages, Video Marketing, Keyword Research…And, make certain the curriculum also provides the marketing masterminds (that I call the “specialists”) in such areas, as: Google, SEO, Copywriting, Personal Branding…4) MISSION STATEMENT:What is your Mission Statement, and is the internet educational resource inline with your Mission Statement. This may be a difficult question to answer for some. But if you are building a business, and have a mission statement, then having that educator with like type mission/philosophy helps to drive your education along the same lines as your goals.Let me give you an example, if I may:My Mission Statement: To help others throughout the world realize you do have options, and to help you understand those options that are available to you (over & beyond the corporate arena), and to guide you to where you can create & develop your own Financial Security – Online.I then took my mission statement, which is based on Financial Security, and found the internet educational resource, that is ALSO based around: 1) Financial Security and 2) Education for the next wave of Master Internet Millionaire Marketers.The reason for this approach is because it helps you to be in-line philosophically with who you are working with, learning from and growing your future with.5) ETHICS/INTEGRITY:This may be tough to determine. Try to get a sense of the company’s business model and business ethics. Find the company’s mission statement and ask if it is inline with your mission, or how you may want to approach your marketing education. And is the company’s branding and message consistent and uphold ethics.So – is the marketing and branding of the company you are considering for your education, inline with how you want to ultimately approach your marketing? Can you see value that is being provided?6) MARKETING POSITIONING:Do they teach the type of marketing that you embrace. Are the company leaders/top producers “buying leads” or does the company have an extensive marketing curriculum being taught by the current Internet Mastermind Marketers. Or, is the education coming strictly from one source. One individual.7) COMPREHENSIVE GLOBAL/INTERNATIONAL CURRICULUM:If you are on the internet you have the potential to market globally. What you want to ask yourself, is if the curriculum is translated into languages worldwide where the opportunity to be an Internet Marketer is being provided to people throughout the world, no matter the language.You want to look for a curriculum that is providing a new skill set to anyone, anywhere in the world, and educates everyone how to market online – whether that person has a product or business already, or not. A company’s curriculum that embraces this philosophy is inline with providing true value to others.8) LONGEVITY:How long does this company/curriculum plan on being around. Are they here to stay. The internet arena is constantly evolving and changing, and it’s nice to feel comfortable that who you are working with has a mission/game plan to be here for 5+ years.9) CLICK-BY-CLICK TRAINING FOR THE NEWBIES:I have to admit, this approach to training really helped me. Does the curriculum provide “click-by-click” training. Can you can see “click-by-click” how things online are actually set up. This really helps to cut down the learning curve. It is too time intensive to learn from a book.And, does the curriculum include “in the office of a top producer” training, so you see “how” the leaders are getting the results, now.10) Staying Current With The Ever Evolving Changes:A curriculum that is staying on top of the evolving changes by bringing onto the staff the marketing masterminds to keep the students current (i.e. SEO, Google).Conclusion:We are in an internet evolution with changes and growth occurring very quickly, so you need to get out of the books, and onto the computer screen. You want to find the leaders, the top producers, the internet marketing masterminds in the internet marketing industry.So, pick wisely based on your goals and marketing style you are comfortable with.

Information technology (IT) is one of the most booming sectors of the world economy. Indeed, the well-being of this sector is crucial to the performance of the economy as a whole, with swings in the sector greatly affecting the economic well-being all over the world. IT-related services can be broadly divided into different, specific disciplines. One of the most important of such IT service is web development.Web development service can be defined as any activity undertaken by professional web designers, in order to create a web page. The web page is meant for publication on the World Wide Web (i.e., the Internet). However, there is a technical difference between web development and web designing services. While the latter involves all the design and layout aspects of a web page, writing codes and generating markups form important tasks under web development.Website development services are required for a wide range of IT-relate services. Some of the important fields that involve web development include e-commerce, business development, generation of content for the web, web server configuration and client-side (or, server-side) scripting.While the web development teams of large companies can comprise of a large number of developers, it is not uncommon for smaller business to have a single contracting webmaster. It should also be understood that, although web development requires specialised skills, it is usually a collaborative effort of the different departments of a company that make it a success.The web development process is a comprehensive one, and can be broadly divided into different, smaller sections. In order to understand the mechanism of web development, one needs to look at the hierarchy of a typical such system. In general, any web development process can comprise of the following sections:a) Client Side Coding — This component of web development includes the usage of various computer languages. Such languages include:i) AJAX — involving an up-gradation of Javascript or PHP (or, any similar languages). The focus is on enhancement of the end-user experience.
ii) CSS — involving usage of stylesheets,
iii) Flash — Commonly used as the Adobe Flash Player, this provides a platform on the client side,
iv) JavaScript — The programming language and different forms of coding,
v) Microsoft SilverLight — This, however, works only with the latest win9x versions,
vi) XHTML — This is used as a substitute for HTML 4. With the acceptance of HTML 5 by the international browser community, this would gain more in popularity.b) Server Side Coding — A wide range of computer languages can be used in the server side coding component of a web development process. Some of them are:i) ASP — this is proprietary product from Microsoft,
ii) Coldfusion — also known as Macromedia (its formal official name),
iii) Perl and/or CGI — an open source programming language,
iv) Java — including J2EE and/or WebObjects,
v) PHP — another open source language,
vi) Lotus Domino,
vii) Dot Net ( .NET) — a proprietary language from Microsoft,
viii) Websphere — owned by IBM,
ix) SSJS (a server-side JavaScript) — including Aptana Jaxer and Mozilla Rhino,
x) Smalltalk — including Seaside and AIDA/Web,
xi) Ruby — comprising of Ruby on Rails,
xii) Python — this has web framework called Django.The client side coding is mainly related to the layout and designing of web pages. On the other hand, server side coding ensures that that all back end systems work properly, and the functionality of the website is correct. These two areas of coding need to be combined in a professional, expert manner in order to make web development an effective process.Website development is rapidly gaining in popularity all over the world, in the IT sector. In this context, Australia, and in particular, Sydney, deserves a special mention. There are quite a number of Sydney web development companies. Web development in Sydney is an extremely well-known service and the developers from this area are thorough experts in this field.When you have any website development work, you should always turn to Sigma Info Tech for the best results. Depend on this web development Sydney Company for the best results.

IntroductionTraditionally investing has been seen as the preserve of the wealthy and has a reputation for being a minefield to the uninitiated. As western standards of living continue to increase, more and more people are beginning to realize the benefits investing even small sums can bring. This article seeks to explore some basic principles to help you get started with investing.1. What’s the basic premise of investing?The Collins English Dictionary defines the word invest in the following way; “To lay out, for profit or advantage.” To layout refers to the fact that something of value is needed in the first place in order to generate more wealth. In essence investing is a means of taking a pre defined sum of money and using it in such a way as to increase its original value, therefore generating a profit.2. Why Invest?This is one of the most fundamental questions that any person looking to invest needs to ask. The general answer is pretty obvious, to generate a profit, but the reason behind the investment are far more important and will directly influence how and where you chose to invest. In addition the answer will also determine the level of risk you are willing to expose yourself to and which will be explored in more detail later.Reasons as to why people invest are varied and may include some of the following; to build up a nest egg for retirement, to provide a financial safety net, to pay for future education or university fees for children, for fun because of the buzz investing can create.3. How Should I invest?This is also a deeply personal question and will depend upon the amount of money an individual has at their disposal. It is important to stress that investment takes many different forms all of which facilitate differing levels of investment. A single mum might decide to invest $20 or a business entrepreneur $1 million but both will seek a return on their capital outlay and how they go about achieving their investment goals may differ substantially.4. What level of risk should I expose myself to?Such a decision is very important as ultimately it will dictate the profitability of your final investment. In many respects this question will also be determined by the answer to the previous question, why invest? If an investment is being made to safeguard a financial future the level of risk taken may be lower than an individual investing for fun.Generally investments are made in three distinct categories low, medium and high. Low risk investments include Government bonds and savings accounts. Medium Risk investments could include certain types of shares or property. High Risk investments will almost certainly include shares in rapidly expanding companies exploring new markets. The dot.com crash in the late nineties, in which thousands of newly established technology companies went bust, is an example of a high risk investment going very wrong.What types of investment are there?This is not an easy question to answer because in theory anything that earns a profit from an initial outlay can be classed as an investment.There are however some common forms of investment that deserve further explanation.a) Government BondsThese are deemed low risk investments as money is invested in Government related projects and assets. It is unheard of in the western world for a Government to go bankrupt.b) SharesThis is a means of holding a stake in a company trading on the stock exchange and investors benefit from its profitability. Whilst share dealing can be low risk particularly if you are investing in established companies in the FTSE 100, most share investments are deemed medium or high risk. This is because such investments have the potential to return excellent profits but there is also a raised risk of losing your total investment.c) AntiquesAntiques are often a great source of investment given that they hold their value at the very least and have the added benefit of being easy to sell if you need a quick cash injection. In addition if you wish to leave a sum of money to family after your death they won’t be hit with inheritance taxes often associated with large amounts of physical cash. Perhaps one of the major drawbacks to investing in Antiques is the requirement of a level of technical expertise, or access to those skills, to ensure that suitable items are invested in.d) PropertyProperty can also be a very lucrative source of investment as property prices continue to increase across the developed world. Generally property prices increase in value in the long term.e) SavingsWhilst banks often make the distinction between savings and investments, in essence savings are a form of investment as the money you save with the bank is invested in low risk shares on your behalf, which ultimately enables financial institutions to make interest payments to you.How to investNow that you have more information to help you get started with investment the next step is to speak to an independent financial advisor. These consultations are almost always free and you can get specific advice tailored to your individual needs concerning investing. In the UK there is an excellent site for finding Independent Financial Advisors called unbiased, see the link at the end of this articleSummaryThis article has attempted to provide advice to enable individuals to get started with investment. Discussion has taken place about the basic premise of investing and the profitability of such a decision, along with examining different reasons for investing. Attention has also been given to how much might be invested and at what level of risk this might be undertaken at. Finally we have explored the vast array of investment options available and what the next step is for a budding investor.

The Costa Rica health care system is well recognized internationally and its quality and affordability are second to none. Though health care in Costa Rica it is widely discussed among interested foreigners, the extent to what makes it so great is relatively unknown; from high quality, broad coverage in the public and private sectors, to the prestigious training of medical staffs, Costa Rica truly has an amazing health care system.Costa Rica’s public health care is recognized as being of the best 20 systems in the world. There are 29 public hospitals and hundreds of clinics scattered around the country. In addition, in locations with out hospitals there are local, top notch doctors. The government run Social Security System (Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social – CCSS) sponsors the hospitals and is largely responsible for providing affordable, quality health care to the people. In 2010, a new immigration law implemented mandatory monthly payments to the CCSS by all expatriates. The monthly fees are $55 a month for anyone under 55 and $37 a month for anyone older than 55. In addition, the CCSS covers insured tourists in coordination with their providers in their home countries.Costs on procedures can be 30-70% cheaper that US or European standards depending on a number of factors. Due to the prominence of the Costa Rica health care system and the country’s accessibility, it has become a celebrated destination for medical tourism, particularly for elective surgeries. Any plastic or dental surgery can be completed at US standards, but up to 65% cheaper! All medical tourism is completed through private health care. Even if the surgery is not elective, the private sector provides state-of-the-art facilities and doctors for patients in need. Again, the primary reasons for coming are cost and reliability. Other places in Central and South America not have the proper care available to people in dire need of treatment, which adds to the list of reasons Costa Rica is a medical haven.The three main private hospitals in the Costa Rica health care system are CIMA, Clinica Biblica, and Clinica Catolica. CIMA has a hospital in San Jose and a brand new one in Liberia; they specialize in just about every medical category. Clinica Biblica is situated within metropolitan San Jose; it is prominent in many forms of major surgery, including heart and cancer care. Clinica Catolica is locate in surrounding suburb of San Jose called Guadalupe; it has a great ER and specializes in many zones of medicine, including: audiology, respiratory, nutrition, and mental, to name a few. Access to private health care comes through the government’s provided insurance company, INS. Depending on a multitude of factors, it costs roughly $60-$130 monthly.Pharmacies are all over the country and provide easy access to medication, much of which can be obtained over the counter. Migraine medication, birth control pills, and many other remedies are available at any pharmacy without a prescription. Some stronger painkillers, such as low dosages of codeine, are available over the counter as well. Since there is often someone capable of writing prescriptions at a pharmacy, additional medications can be much more accessible than in other places. Many pharmacies are provided through the public Costa Rica health care system.

Okay, the three numbers are not magic… but you already knew that yet there are no more important numbers when it comes to sustainable weight loss! You may have already come across some of these numbers when doing your research but may not have understood their true significance to the success of your weight loss.I am going to go over each of these so that you are better informed on how important these numbers are and how any weight loss program that does not address these will always fail you. I will also provide you with a link at the end of the article to a weight loss calculator that will generate these magic numbers for you. Let us start with the first of the magic numbers, your Ideal Weight!You no doubt have heard allot about this number. Your doctor, trainer or dietitian may have given you a weight value based on the accepted norms for your sex, age and height. Although this number is generic, it does cover at least 95% of most cases. What about that other 5%? Well this 5% can be +-10 pounds from the Ideal Weight given. It all depends on each individuals situation but does not lessen the importance of this value. What is truly important about the Ideal Weight is not that you need to maintain that exact weight but you use it to guide you towards your target to stabilize your weight at a level near your Ideal Weight that makes you feel comfortable and healthy. How do you know when the weight you have obtained is within the “healthy” zone for your Ideal Weight? Well that is determined by the next of the magic numbers, the BMI.The Body Mass Index (BMI) can be used by your doctor and/or dietitian to figure out your general weight health based on your sex, height and weight and is associated with the measurement of body fat. Once that BMI has been calculated, the value is compared against the following ranges to determine your weight health.

less than 19 –> Underweight

19 to 25 –> Normal

26 to 29 –> Overweight

30 to 34 –> Obese (Class I)

35 to 39 –> Obese (Class II)

40 or more –> Obese (Class III)

There are a couple of limitations with the BMI. One, it does not show the difference between body fat and muscle. Someone with a lot of muscle (body builder) may have a BMI in the unhealthy range, but still be healthy with little risk of developing health issues. Two, it may not accurately reflect the weight health of someone that is very short (under 5 feet) and in older people (80+). For the rest of us the BMI is a reliable indicator as to our physical weight health.What should you do if your BMI is too high?If your BMI is from 26 to 29 – start a weight loss program and increase your physical activity level.
If your BMI is from 30 to 34 – take your weight seriously as you are at a RISK of health issue, start a good weight loss program NOW and become more active.
If your BMI is from 35 to 39 – you are at a HIGH RISK of health issues. You need to address your diet with a weight loss program and include your doctor at each stage of your progress.
If your BMI is 40 or more – your health is at EXTREME RISK (DEATH!). Contact your doctor NOW and work to get your weight under control.The last of the magic numbers is your Calorie Maintenance Level (CML) and it is the key number in a weight loss program. The CML is based on many factors and is specific to each person’s height, weight and activity level. Since the effectiveness of your weight loss program depends on this number, it is important that it be as accurate as possible. What is the CML? It is the total number of calories you need to consume each day to maintain your CURRENT weight. Lets say your CML is 2608 calories for your current weight. To start losing weight, change your daily calorie intake to a value less than your current CML (target around 500 calories less). The decrease will trigger your body to find the missing calories from body fat to try to maintain your current weight at that activity level. You should start seeing weight loss the first week, if not decrease your calorie intake a bit more and/or increase your activity level. The additional increase in demand for calories will start eating away at your fat deposits.To make use of these magic weight loss numbers, you need to find a weight loss program that understands their importance and incorporates them in the program. A good weight loss program is required to make these magic weight loss numbers useful. You can lose weight with just the knowledge you have picked up here today but without a good weight loss program that helps train you for sustainable weight loss, you might not reach your comfortable and healthy weight.
