<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/49502981966@N01/3045206108/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3034/3045206108_d053463e72_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Arsenal fans, like me and my colleague Rayed, this season have experienced a series of emotions. From the highs of smashing Fenerbache, Sheffield United, Blackburn and Porto, to the lows of playing poorly against weaker teams such as Fulham, Hull and now Stoke.</p>
<p>This is an emotional rollercoaster that does not do justice to the Arsenal fan, who got so close last season. It simply doesn&#8217;t make sense to be doing extremely well against decent teams, but faltering against arguably much weaker opposition. There must be some fundamental problems and I think I know what they are.</p>
<p>These boys can&#8217;t defend a set piece or long ball if it meant their life. I mean for Pete&#8217;s sake, can you make your weakness any more obvious to your rivals? This is the exact technique Stoke used at the weekend, employing Delap to make long throws into the box consistently and no surprises, Arsenal conceded two scrappy off his throw ins. Against Fulham, they concede from the corner, as with games against Hull and Bolton.</p>
<p>Sure, I might sound a little bit harsh, every team is susceptible during set-pieces, its usually the way a smaller team is able to beat a bigger team, but let&#8217;s face it, there is a disturbing pattern developing at Arsenal and its happening more often than not. We often have our hearts skipping a beat or two when the opposition team gets a set piece, unfortunately for the Arsenal fan, set pieces are enough to cause a heart attack these days.</p>
<p>The second problem is that there is too much overconfidence, letting players shoot from outside the box. Too much space is being given and Arsenal are being punished. Look at the Sunderland and Hull games, wonderful shots from outside the box. Sure, on a good day they would have gone over the bar and Arsenal would be blameless right now, but they should have been closed down by the defenders, regardless. </p>
<p>The thing that should make an Arsenal fan sick, is the Spurs match. Many argue that Spurs deserved the point, which is true, but look at all four goals closely. Arsenal let Spurs shoot from long range for each of the four goals. I am being a little bit harsh, but think about it, four long range goals conceded in one night. Either they were unlucky, the other team was very good, or Arsenal&#8217;s defending was bad. I think it was a combination of all those factors.</p>
<p>So there you have it, each of the games Arsenal has dropped points and it nearly always comes down to those two weaknesses. What are Gallas, Toure and Silvestre doing? What is wrong with the centre backs?</p>
<p>When Arsene Wenger didn&#8217;t go out and spend big on experienced players in the transfer window, he was criticised. However, he continually stated that his young squad were good enough. I believe him, but he needs to have a serious think about these defensive issues. The attack is fine, we&#8217;ve seen goals galore in some games, but in the games they are losing, I think they&#8217;re losing confidence and so the attackers aren&#8217;t scoring goals. </p>
<p>A defensive midfielder like Flamini is needed to fill in the void in front of the back four and stop those long range shots. The centre backs need to get their act together or Wenger needs to buy new ones. They simply cannot afford to let in these silly goals.</p>
<p>A tough week is ahead. Fenerbache on Wednesday and Manchester United on Saturday. United will probably be the litmus test for this Arsenal side. These inconsistent results are inconclusive. Are Arsenal true title contenders or are they just going for a Champions League spot? We will find out on Saturday if they are the real deal.</p>

It is an entirely different thing when that network goes global. Mark Zuckerberg knew a good thing when he developed it. His networking site Facebook quickly took the world by storm. </p>
<p>It allowed people from across the globe to connect and be part of a growing social network. It allowed people to find friends and share stories about their daily lives. It is also about money. Investing news stories are continuously being published about this networking giant.</p>
<p>Investing news stories are always making the headlines. The Facebook empire made its first headlines when Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, invested $500,000 into the fledgling enterprise. Would this be the starting point for a top 10 business? </p>
<p>Many business experts conjectured that Facebook would join forces with a larger company to help back its financial needs. They were a bit mistaken.</p>
<p>Facebook makes its money, which allows it to remain a free website, through the use of advertising services. Each time a person clicks on one of the banner ads and makes a purchase, the company receives a portion of the profits. But there is a problem with that. </p>
<p>With revenue dependent upon you clicking a banner ad, it can begin to suffer if people do not buy through their advertising services. This is most likely why Facebook had a $3.63 million dollar net loss in 2005. It was spending more to host the website and provide services than it was bringing in.</p>
<p>Enter in the merger and acquisition talks with giants Yahoo, Google and other companies. These huge companies tried to enter into negotiations with Facebook and a bidding war was even started at one time. Zuckerberg issued a statement in 2007 that essentially said that Facebook would not be sold to someone else. </p>
<p>Was this the right thing to do? If you compare Facebook&#8217;s membership to MySpace&#8217;s membership, then you are left with the impression that it is no where near as successful. MySpace has more than double the members and is still a growing entity.</p>
<p>So what will happen with Facebook when its daily advertising is eclipsed by its spending? No one is certain of anything yet but with the huge net loss it suffered in 2005 it still remains to be seen if Facebook will be able to continue to compete with MySpace. </p>
<p>There might actually be a day in the future when it must charge membership fees. However, for now that is only a hypothesis set out by business experts. Facebook today is still free of charge and open to people everywhere.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexterieur/3023708693/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3013/3023708693_d617b52acd_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Gambling is something that we all do but in different ways, well most of the Gambling that we do are gone unnoticed, when it comes to the real world of Gambling.</p>
<p>The real world of Gambling has all the glamour and all the money, and it is something that people never get tired reading about not writing about.</p>
<p>The addictive nature of Gambling makes the news even more addictive and juicy. There are so many kinds of news revolving around gambling that makes them a joy to read for some, but there are some times when it is painful too.</p>
<p>News like how a really poor nurse got lucky and got a lot of cash, about how a man lost all his money and how his family is struggling because of that, these are the kind of tidbits that one can see. These news and other kinds of news, do keep coming in all the time and it is always fodder to sites and newspapers.</p>
<p>The major pull of gambling among people is because of the dubious status it holds; there are talks about it all the time, of whether it would get the legal status or whether it will be banned from everywhere. Well speculations are something that people love to make and hence the popularity of such news. Also, the story of people making money and going from rags to riches does please people and make them dream. This the major USP gambling news carries.</p>
<p>There are many sites that provide you with Gambling news and it is amazing how they never run out of news, well this is mainly because of the betting scene too. It should be noted that sites that report gambling news make a lot of money, and this proves that there are a lot of visitors.</p>
<p>So if you want to know what is happening in the world of Gambling and everything that has been revolving around it, all you have to do is go online. You always have Google to guide the way.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/krispy/3040264024/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3277/3040264024_d6527216d8_m.jpg" width="185" height="240" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;If you have high interest rate credit cards with outstanding balances on them you may find that the monthly repayments that you are making on the cards are very high. In addition, if you are only making small repayments on the cards you may find that a large portion of what you pay on each balance in getting swallowed up in interest, which means that your actual balance is hardly being touched leaving you at risk of having the debt hanging around your neck for a long time to come.</p>
<p>This is the reason why many people have decided over recent years to transfer their higher interest credit card debts onto a convenient and affordable 0% balance transfer credit card. By doing this cardholders can save a considerable amount of money in interest payments, and as long as they remain within the credit limit on the new card can transfer balances from a range of different credit cards so that they have fewer credit card debts to deal with.</p>
<p>It is important to make sure that you get the best deal possible when you opt for a 0% balance transfer credit card, as getting the best deal can help you to save more money and buy you more time to repay the balance. There are a number of things that you should check when it comes to finding a suitable 0% balance transfer deal, and by taking the time to compare different 0% balance transfer cards and compare these different factors you can increase your chances of getting the most competitive deal.</p>
<p>Of course, one of the most important factors that you will need to look at is how long the interest free credit period is, as the longer this is the more time you will have to repay the transferred balance without being charged any interest. Some 0% balance transfer cards offer interest free periods of just six months or so, but others offer 0% interest for twelve or even fifteen months in some cases. Make sure that you compare cards from a range of providers in order to find the best interest free period.</p>
<p>Most 0% balance transfer credit cards charge a transfer fee, and this is usually a percentage of the total amount that is being transferred. You need to compare the various 0% balance transfer cards and compare how much each charges by way of a transfer fee, as this can vary from one card provider to another. On average the transfer fee ranges from 2-3 percent of the total amount that is being transferred.</p>
<p>Although you should aim to repay the balance in full before the interest free period comes to an end on these 0% balance transfer cards it is worth taking a look at the interest rate that is charged just in case your have a remaining balance by the time the 0% period expires. However, this should not be the priority, as you should aim to have the balance cleared by the time that the interest free period ends.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25802865@N08/2906582444/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/2906582444_e8a2282d5c_o.jpg" width="240" height="160" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Without local news people would have little idea what is happening in their community. Even in modern times where people can contact each other instantly on their mobile phones or via email, people still need local news to give them the whole picture about what is happening locally. </p>
<p>Newspapers and other local news organisations can investigate stories in full and provide the correct balance to make sure people are properly informed about events in their community and not relying on gossip or hearsay.</p>
<p>Local news provides people with information about a range of topics that are relevant to them  crime, education, business, transport, local politics, the environment, sport and entertainment. It also helps people to understand the local impact of national events and trends.</p>
<p>Also, local news aids democracy by reporting on the activities of local authorities and other public bodies, thereby making them accountable to the public. Freedom of Information legislation has helped media organizations to do this.</p>
<p>The police are also assisted in their fight against crime, with local news organization issuing appeals to find crime suspects, witnesses and missing people.</p>
<p>Local news also enables people to publicise local events and activities which otherwise might receive little attention. </p>
<p>Because of local news, parents are able to find out what is happening in their childrens schools, road users are able to find out about any local problems, and cinema-goers and theatre-goers are able to discover what they can see locally.</p>
<p>Also, sports fan can keep up with the fortunes of their local clubs.</p>
<p>Local news organisations traditionally take a balanced and responsible view. Unlike many national newspapers they are free of political bias and make sure that stories are covered in impartial way, offering opposing factions in any debate the chance to have their say. That way, readers can make up their own mind.</p>
<p>But when there is a serious problem facing the local community, local news organization will take a stand and speak out, even launching campaigns when necessary. Sometimes campaigns are just to support a local charity or individual, but sometimes they are to stop something that the majority of the local community feels is unjust  for example, the closure of a hospital. A local news organisation can help a lot in such matters.</p>
<p>Local news organisations also offer the chance for the community to have its say, through the use of readers letters, polls and website comments.</p>
<p>New technology has helped local news organisations to improve the service they offer to the local community. Weekly newspapers have particularly gained, as they can now keep the public informed throughout the day rather than just once a week. People are able to discover about important local events almost instantly.</p>
<p>The web enables the local community to immediately know about local traffic problems, the weather, school closures and major incidents.</p>
<p>Through nostalgia articles local newspapers also keep the local community in touch with its own history.</p>
<p>Local newspapers also offer local traders the chance to advertise their products and services, and conversely for people to find out about local businesses and contact them.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8980590@N04/3039593523/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3269/3039593523_07598e805b_o.jpg" width="240" height="180" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;In these times of economic slowdown, Indian companies, especially real estate firms, are looking at diaspora in the Middle East for investment. </p>
<p>The government kickstarted a series of investment meets last week in Muscat that had major Indian firms hardselling Indias economic stability to the diaspora. </p>
<p>The Muscat meeting  held under the aegis of the overseas Indian affairs ministry on November 12  is the first in over 16 such meetings to be held in the Middle East, UK and US .</p>
<p>These countries account for the bulk of the Indian diaspora. According to Col Harmeet Singh Sethi, head of the Overseas Indian Facilitation Centre (OIFC), the Indian government and business groups will target areas in the Middle East that remain largely ignored but represent big money including Sharjah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain. </p>
<p>According to Sethi, real estate, education and wealth management are key areas where India is looking for investment and support from the diaspora. One of the major obstacles in this area is the bureaucracy and red tapism. We were told that India is rated the 83rd most difficult place to do business in. There were reservations expressed by business people there who are interested in investing in India but we were able to allay their fears to a large extent,&#8217; Sethi said. </p>
<p>The meeting included biggies like DLF, Career Launcher and Kotak Mahindra. </p>
<p>The investor tete-a-tete comes close on the heels of PM Manmohan Singhs trip to Oman where he asked Gulf nations to invest in Indian infrastructure and help the country register 9% growth. </p>
<p>India is now looking at big-ticket investments in areas like infrastructure, healthcare, education, assisted living, wealth management and real estate. </p>
<p>Indians send the highest amount of remittances back home, beating even China. India has now captured one-tenth of global remittance flows with total remittances from overseas Indians growing steadily from $2.1 billion in 1990-1991 to $27.1 billion in 2006-2007. </p>
<p>But investment from the diaspora lags behind. Sources said the ministry of overseas Indian affairs was keen to convert this emotional bond into a financially productive one. </p>

I thought it&#8217;d be a good opportunity to think about which teams names will be in those little balls to be drawn out for the groups for 2010. Here are my predictions and why I think each team should be there:<br />
<br />(the UEFA section will be done later, it is the longest and hardest one)</p>
<p>AFC - Australia, Japan, Korea Republic, Saudi Arabia<br />
<br />&#038; Iran. These are the best five teams in Asia. I don&#8217;t think there can be many objections. Uzbekistan or Bahrain will probably get into the playoff spot but they are likely to be overpowered by Saudi Arabia/Iran/Korea Republic. Two of the three teams mentioned will qualify automatically, the other will playoff and smash New Zealand.</p>
<p>CAF - Cameroon, Nigeria, Egypt, Ghana &#038; Cote d&#8217;Ivoire<br />
<br />The final round for the CAF has taken shape. Five groups of four, with the top team in each group to qualify. Egypt and Cote d&#8217;Ivoire should not have any excuses not to qualify, they have relatively easy groups. Cameroon and Nigeria have tricky groups with Cameroon having to tackle Morocco and Togo, whilst the Nigerians have to face recent World Cup regulars Tunisia. Ghana have the threat of Mali to deal with but I think they&#8217;ll have too much quality.</p>
<p>CONCACAF - Mexico, USA &#038; Costa Rica. There is quite a gulf between these three nations and the rest of CONCACAF, and its been obvious for the last ten years. They&#8217;ll get through easily, but the fourth placed team will lose the playoff, the South American team will be way too strong.</p>
<p>CONMEBOL - Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay &#038;<br />
<br />Chile. The first three are the &#8220;usual suspects&#8221; and will definitely be there. Uruguay are looking good and will probably also be there this time, after the disappointment of not making Germany 2006. Ecuador, who usually have been World Cup regulars have had a slower start than usual. Their away form has been terrible which is in contrast to Chile, whose away form has been sound, so I&#8217;ve tipped them ahead of Ecuador. Whoever comes fifth will beat the CONCACAF qualifier in the playoff.</p>
<p>The UEFA qualifiers will be analyzed in another article in the future since it is too early to make a reasonable prediction. Overall, it seems that most of the teams that will be there in 2010 will be pretty much the same ones that fought it out in Germany 2 years ago. However, previous World Cups have shown that there are always first timers. Hence, surprises should expected when most qualifiers resume in 2009.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25802865@N08/2906582444/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/2906582444_e8a2282d5c_o.jpg" width="240" height="160" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Without local news people would have little idea what is happening in their community. Even in modern times where people can contact each other instantly on their mobile phones or via email, people still need local news to give them the whole picture about what is happening locally. </p>
<p>Newspapers and other local news organisations can investigate stories in full and provide the correct balance to make sure people are properly informed about events in their community and not relying on gossip or hearsay.</p>
<p>Local news provides people with information about a range of topics that are relevant to them  crime, education, business, transport, local politics, the environment, sport and entertainment. It also helps people to understand the local impact of national events and trends.</p>
<p>Also, local news aids democracy by reporting on the activities of local authorities and other public bodies, thereby making them accountable to the public. Freedom of Information legislation has helped media organizations to do this.</p>
<p>The police are also assisted in their fight against crime, with local news organization issuing appeals to find crime suspects, witnesses and missing people.</p>
<p>Local news also enables people to publicise local events and activities which otherwise might receive little attention. </p>
<p>Because of local news, parents are able to find out what is happening in their childrens schools, road users are able to find out about any local problems, and cinema-goers and theatre-goers are able to discover what they can see locally.</p>
<p>Also, sports fan can keep up with the fortunes of their local clubs.</p>
<p>Local news organisations traditionally take a balanced and responsible view. Unlike many national newspapers they are free of political bias and make sure that stories are covered in impartial way, offering opposing factions in any debate the chance to have their say. That way, readers can make up their own mind.</p>
<p>But when there is a serious problem facing the local community, local news organization will take a stand and speak out, even launching campaigns when necessary. Sometimes campaigns are just to support a local charity or individual, but sometimes they are to stop something that the majority of the local community feels is unjust  for example, the closure of a hospital. A local news organisation can help a lot in such matters.</p>
<p>Local news organisations also offer the chance for the community to have its say, through the use of readers letters, polls and website comments.</p>
<p>New technology has helped local news organisations to improve the service they offer to the local community. Weekly newspapers have particularly gained, as they can now keep the public informed throughout the day rather than just once a week. People are able to discover about important local events almost instantly.</p>
<p>The web enables the local community to immediately know about local traffic problems, the weather, school closures and major incidents.</p>
<p>Through nostalgia articles local newspapers also keep the local community in touch with its own history.</p>
<p>Local newspapers also offer local traders the chance to advertise their products and services, and conversely for people to find out about local businesses and contact them.</p>

<p>AS SEEN ON 60 MINUTES, DATELINE ETC. MAKE<br />
<br />$40,000 IN A FEW WEEKS THRU PAYPAL. OPRAH &#038;<br />
<br />DATELINE aired how to make $40,000 in 30 days with<br />
<br />Paypal!! That&#8217;s Right $40,000 dollars in your PayPal<br />
<br />account - IT WAS PROVEN ON OPRAH, DATELINE,<br />
<br />NATIONAL TV &#038; IT&#8217; S COMPLETELY LEGAL!!! $10<br />
<br />Dollars&#8230; That&#8217;s all it takes&#8230;I&#8217;ll try to keep it short and<br />
<br />sweet.  Does this sound too good? Well maybe to some<br />
<br />skeptics it is. But it actually works, and is worth the 30<br />
<br />minutes of your time now. Read this and you will make<br />
<br />tons of money guaranteed! NETWORK TOGETHER AND<br />
<br />MAKE MONEY USING PAYPAL. These are not scams.<br />
<br />This is an option. It is providing a service to you if you<br />
<br />wish to participate&#8230; adding you to a list. It follows the<br />
<br />same regulations as the mailed chain letters, which<br />
<br />according to the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) is<br />
<br />indeed legal! To get started just right mouse click and<br />
<br />copy this whole page and paste it in an e-mail to edit it.<br />
<br />Simply follow the instructions below and in 2 to 3 weeks,<br />
<br />you will have at least $40,000 dollars in your PayPal<br />
<br />account. Most people respond to this program because of<br />
<br />the low investment ($10 dollars) and high profit potential.<br />
<br />There is no limit to the income you can generate from this<br />
<br />(you can do it over and over). If you follow the<br />
<br />instructions, you will reach thousands of people! Honesty,<br />
<br />Faith, and Integrity make this system work. I think<br />
<br />everyone has heard of &#8220;PayPal&#8221;. Anyone with an e-mail<br />
<br />address can join for F*R*E*E*! If you&#8217;re not already a<br />
<br />PayPal user, the first thing you need to do is sign up. Just<br />
<br />click the link below! It&#8217;s really easy to set up and it&#8217;s<br />
<br />F*R*E*E. Note: In order to collect more than $500 you<br />
<br />need to sign up or upgrade your PayPal account to a<br />
<br />PREMIERE or BUSINESS status. This also allows you to<br />
<br />receive debit &#038; credit card payments from people. The<br />
<br />sign up and upgrade is free! https://www.paypal.com.<br />
<br />Send a $5.00 dollar donation from your PayPal account to THE FIRST e-mail address on the list with a note saying &#8220;Please add me to your list&#8221;. Now send the other $5.00 donation and e-mail to the 5th person on list saying &#8220;Thanks I&#8217;ve joined&#8221;.  Next, remove the 1st e-mail<br />
<br />address and place your address at the bottom. This<br />
<br />moves the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, 4th to 3rd, and the 5th<br />
<br />place into 4th.</p>
<p>DO NOT TRY TO PLACE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST<br />
<br />PLACE. IT WILL ONLY REACH THE PEOPLE YOU<br />
<br />SEND IT TO, AND THEN YOUR NAME WILL BE<br />
<br />REMOVED FROM THE LIST!  THIS IS THE MOST<br />
<br />IMPORTANT STEP!!!</p>
<p>It is your job as the fifth person on the list to ensure there<br />
<br />are at least twenty &#8220;Thank you, I&#8217;ve joined&#8221; replies. The<br />
<br />fifth person is now the guardian of the system. It is<br />
<br />IMPERATIVE that the guardian continues to circulate the<br />
<br />letter until 20 &#8220;Thank you I&#8217;ve joined&#8221; replies are received.<br />
<br />Remember, the greater the number postings, the higher<br />
<br />the profit potential. If you do this the way it was designed it<br />
<br />will reach thousands by the time your name gets to the<br />
<br />top.  REMEMBER TO SEND:</p>
<p>1) A $5.00 dollar donation to the 1st person from the list<br />
<br />with a message saying &#8220;PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR<br />
<br />LIST&#8221; </p>
<p>2) And send a $5.00 donation to the 5th person from the</p>
<p>list with the message saying: &#8220;THANKS I&#8217;VE JOINED&#8221;.<br />
<br />This lets the 5th person keep track of progress of the<br />
<br />letter and continue to send out more emails. Here is the<br />
<br />list:</p>
<p>1. skinnygiraffe@hotmail.com</p>
<p>2. poporeaper@yahoo.com</p>
<p>3. rrayniak@gmail.com</p>
<p>4. cmaeagle@yahoo.com</p>
<p>5. cjunior214@verizon.net</p>
<p>MAKE SURE YOU SEND $5 DOLLARS TO THE FIRST<br />
<br />PERSON TO THANK THEM FOR WHEN THEY WERE<br />
<br />THE GUARDIAN OF THE LETTER and $5 DOLLARS<br />
<br />TO THE FIFTH PERSON SO MORE EMAILS<br />
<br />CONTINUE TO GO OUT! As you will also receive gratis<br />
<br />-thanks AND THE SAME BLESSING. Then take the 1st<br />
<br />email off the list that you see above, move the other<br />
<br />addresses up (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, etc?.) and add<br />
<br />YOUR email address (the one used on the paypal<br />
<br />account) as number 5 on the list.  When your name is on<br />
<br />the 1st slot, 8,000 to 15,000 people will send you 5<br />
<br />dollars! DO NOT TRY TO PUT YOURSELF IN FIFTH<br />
<br />PLACE WITHOUT PAYING, AS PAYPAL WILL<br />
<br />AUTOMATICALLY NOTICE THIS AND DELETE YOUR<br />
<br />ACCOUNT AND POSSIBLY PURSUE LEGAL ACTION,<br />
<br />SINCE THIS IS A LEGITIMATE PROGRAM, AND THEY<br />
<br />ARE PART OF IT! Keep in mind&#8230; the most you spent is<br />
<br />$10 DOLLARS! (Remember&#8230; what goes around comes<br />
<br />around).</p>
<p>TESTIMONIALS:</p>
<p>&#8220;I only have one thing to say to you&#8230; OH MY GOD! I sent<br />
<br />out 142 copies total before 20 replied, like the instructions<br />
<br />said. Then I went on a short vacation. When I got back<br />
<br />my account had over $32,000 dollars in it already and the<br />
<br />money was still coming! I&#8217;m still floating on air (especially<br />
<br />with my new car). I thought the &#8216;guardian&#8217; system sounded<br />
<br />cheesy, but now I realize it is the formula that makes<br />
<br />this letter really work! THANKS!&#8221;                                 -Mary Gatters, Columbus, SC</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, what can I say?&#8230; THANK YOU SO MUCH! I sent<br />
<br />40 e-mail&#8217;s out like you said and then I just forgot about<br />
<br />the whole thing. To be honest, I didn&#8217;t really think anything<br />
<br />would come of it. But when I checked my Paypal account<br />
<br />a week later, there was over $15,000 in it.  After 30 days I<br />
<br />now have over $51,000 to spend!&#8221;<br />
<br />- Juan Tovar, NY,NY</p>
<p>&#8220;I was shocked when I saw how much money came<br />
<br />flooding into my Paypal account. Within 3 weeks my<br />
<br />account balance has ballooned to $22,449. At first I<br />
<br />thought there had been some sort of error with my<br />
<br />account!&#8221;<br />

<p>Property investment is one of the most lucrative ways to earn extra money. Nevertheless, there are certain things, which should be kept in mind while investing in property including loan, tax, purchasing cost, drafting a plan, ongoing cost and searching a financier.</p>
<p>Property investment is all about making lucrative money and to do that one must know how to calculate income, expenses and returns on the investments and last but not the least developing a plan. Being capable of estimating the monetary position of the portfolio of the real estate property is particularly essential for the greatly geared property investors carrying risk above average.</p>
<p>Drafting A Plan</p>
<p>A property investment plan including the cash flow calculations in addition to scheduling of returns for a five-year term is a great tool. It will enable you to know how many assets you can pay for, margin for error and gives you a clean picture for a lender for evaluating and enhancing the chances of borrowing extra money. The four basic things to be included in a property investment plan are:</p>
<p>1.	The buying or the purchasing cost<br />
<br />2.	The ongoing cost<br />
<br />3.	The loan<br />
<br />4.	Tax issues and depreciation schedules </p>
<p>Purchasing Cost</p>
<p>The foremost thing to consider is the purchasing cost and the ways to pin them down. The purchasing cost incurred at the time of purchasing the property includes:</p>
<p>1.	Legal representation<br />
<br />2.	Inspections and surveys<br />
<br />3.	Insurance<br />
<br />4.	Stamp duty<br />
<br />5.	Strata title examination<br />
<br />6.	Registration of title<br />
<br />7.	Loan establishment fee including mortgage registration, legal and valuation fees<br />
<br />8.	Agents commission</p>
<p>Ongoing Cost</p>
<p>These include the expenses, which take place after you buy the property including:</p>
<p>1.	Fees for body corporate<br />
<br />2.	Interest payments<br />
<br />3.	Repairs and maintenance<br />
<br />4.	Water and council rates<br />
<br />5.	Bank account, keeping fees<br />
<br />6.	Fees for Property management<br />
<br />7.	Insurance including contents and building, property owner and public liability insurance<br />
<br />8.	Pest control<br />
<br />9.	Land tax<br />
<br />10.	Security costs<br />
<br />11.	Car and travel expenses<br />
<br />12.	Postage and stationery<br />
<br />13.	Advertising and leasing fees</p>
<p>Depending on property, the ongoing cost may also include gardens and lawns, linen, cleaning and laundry</p>
<p>Loan</p>
<p>Almost all the investment in property is done by borrowed money, so there are numbers of considerations while selecting the loan type according to suitability. They are: </p>
<p>1.	Do you want to pay the interest only or principal and interest?<br />
<br />2.	Type of loan you want to select including variable/floating rate loan, fixed rate loan, split loan, or line of credit.<br />
<br />3.	Equity.<br />
<br />4.	Negative and positive gearing.</p>
<p>Once you settle on the kind of loan and the total amount you want to borrow, it will allow you to estimate your cost of borrowing and help you in cash flow calculations</p>
<p>Tax</p>
<p>When it comes to taxes, things to consider include:</p>
<p>1.	Identifying all the tax deductions: This includes interest payments and capital work like extensions and buildings, structural and alterations improvement.<br />
<br />2.	Identifying the capital costs including the revenue costs.<br />
<br />3.	Identifying the revenue costs and generally includes the ongoing costs.<br />
<br />4.	Depreciation schedules</p>
<p>Financiers</p>
<p>When it comes to property investment, the most important thing that should be kept in mind is seeking a good financier. If their rates are viable, a nice relationship with your financier can make great dividends than sourcing the inexpensive loan. A financier can realize your property investment plan and a goal when plainly articulated via your fiscal plan is invaluable, it means:</p>
<p>1.	If your lender has a thorough knowledge about your financial position, he/she is in a better situation to lend you extra money.<br />
<br />2.	You do not have to go through the entire loan approval procedure since the financier knows you and your business.</p>
<p>Apart from this, the best place to know more about property investment whether it is buying or selling the property overseas or within your country or state is to check online. You can also find various property related news and articles online, which can further be of great help in knowing the property value or tips or precautions to be taken.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/amayzun/2990693611/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3277/2990693611_b53bc8056e_o.jpg" width="240" height="180" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Email newsletters are an excellent way to market your business, highlight your expertise and build a relationship with your prospects and customers. Email newsletters are relatively easy and inexpensive to produce, but that doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re fool-proof. </p>
<p>You&#8217;ll need to deal with CAN-Spam laws, delivery problems, rendering issues, etc. But by using a little common sense, having some common courtesy and following a few best practices, you can produce your own email newsletter on a regular basis. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve determined the best practices for email newsletters are: </p>
<p>Deliverability is job one.<br />
<br />Obviously, if your newsletter isn&#8217;t getting delivered, it&#8217;s not getting read. Check your SPF record, monitor your reputation and sender score, register with the feedback loops. </p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t want to deal with the technical aspects, hire an expert. This issue is just important to ignore. </p>
<p>Give&#8217;em what they want.<br />
<br />Every issue of your newsletter should be relevant to your niche. In many cases, this will mean segmenting your list and sending different mailings based on individual preferences. </p>
<p>Readers who have responded to a particular article in the past can be segmented from the non-responders; people who have clicked a particular ad can be sent a follow up notice; etc. </p>
<p>Test your newsletter with many configurations.<br />
<br />Get multiple email accounts for testing purposes. Test in different browsers, different email clients, mobile devices, etc. Yes, it&#8217;s time consuming, but this IS your business we&#8217;re talking about. </p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t take the time to ensure your newsletter looks professional, how can your readers trust you will take the time with your services? </p>
<p>Test your newsletter without your graphics.<br />
<br />The majority of email clients have images turned off by default. Make sure your newsletter makes without the graphics. Never rely on an image to relay the message. </p>
<p>Get to the point quickly.<br />
<br />There are thousands of email newsletters and online sources vying for your reader&#8217;s attention. Respect your subscribers&#8217; time, be succinct, say what you need to say and move on. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t delete your links too soon.<br />
<br />If your newsletter provides great content (which it should) your readers will save it and refer to it later. I&#8217;m always amazed when I see links being clicked six weeks after an issue was sent. </p>
<p>Leave your landing pages up and - especially if you have advertisers in your newsletter - track your metrics for several weeks into the future. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid to ask for the sale.<br />
<br />And provide multiple opportunities for your readers to respond. It&#8217;s true that your newsletter needs to provide valuable content and build a relationship with your readers, but you also need to pay your bills. </p>
<p>After all, you&#8217;re running a business, and your newsletter is strictly a vehicle for marketing your business and highlighting your expertise. </p>
<p>When advertising a product or service in your newsletter, be sure to include multiple links of different types. Some readers will click the images, some will click the headlines, some will click body copy. </p>
<p>Believe it or not, some readers will actually get insulted and even complain when you try to sell something. But don&#8217;t worry about them. They only want the freebies and have very little respect for you or your talents; they are definitely not your ideal customer. </p>
<p>Stay up to date with industry regulations and best practices. Spam filters are constantly changing, ISP regulations are constantly changing, new email clients are being introduced; it&#8217;s important to stay on top of these changes to ensure deliverability, readability and compliance.</p>
