Get the Drift of Finances

Every man has his own set of fears. Some are afraid of heights, others are almost to the point of dying when asked to present an audience, and while there are some who are always running away from their debts. In the case of the latter, it is either they are carefree on finances or just plain careless when it comes to money.

Money is not everything but when one has nothing of it, he can almost do nothing as well. It is what he can do with finances that will determine his fight or flight plan when the situation arises. An important component of one's success portfolio relates not solely on how ready he is for the spending requirements of the present, but rather depends on how he can survive the tsunami of financial emergencies during an economic crunch.

To begin taking control of one's financial gear shift, he can start by getting his hands on some vital information on many financial instruments and other important factors such as cash, loans, credit cards, interest rates, and credit standing. Ones finances are personal matters that poor management can result in being heavily drenched in debt.

Even for couples, money can be an emotionally charged topic that may open a can of worms and ruin an awkward harmonic relationship.

On a corporate level, finance takes a notch higher in terms of priorities. Companies highly expensive on good cash flow resulting from sound financial management. That is the reason why a lot of firms would reserve the financial matters only to the best hands they have on the payroll or would even outsource such management to the best financial firms that can guarantee a healthy financial portfolio.

Owing to modern technology, it is easier nowdays to find financial management tools that can help even small companies to be on their tip-top shape when it comes to their finances.

There is a lot of downloadable computer software that can take care of the financial numbers by making a few keystrokes here and there. Some are freely available online and while others charge a premium for added proprietary features.

One example is Quicken Premier software that allows users to monitor their finances and can be linked to their bank or brokerage accounts for better ease of use due to consolidation of transactions. There is also the Microsoft Money which has become useful when it comes to investment tracking and the research tools that are readily accessible.

If the company can afford it, there are also the modular SAP ERP solutions that can be highly customized depending on the business needs and structure.

Whether big or small, availing any of the above or other financial management software is another financial consideration that must be given careful analysis and evaluation. The internet is a rich source of information about all these tools and can be a potent guide on which to choose. Compare prices and match benefits accordingly. One must also pay considering thought wherever these tools will work on the existing hardware and software programs readily at hand.

The same advantages apply to you today if you should start your own internet business, even if it is to make an extra income with Google AdWords.

Can Rabbits Change Gender / Sex?

I have seen this question on many forums and over hear breeders discussing the fact that their rabbit changed gender. In fact rabbits that have won awards at ARBA conventions as a doe, have been shown later only to find out it was actually a buck. Does this mean that a rabbit has changed sex?

Amazingly in nature there are some instances where an animal can change its gender. Take for example a clown fish. Clown fish live in schools. Within that school is a leadership structure led be a female clown fish. When that clown fish dies, the highest male in leadership takes over for the female and changes gender including reproductive functions. This is however a rarity for this type of biological change to take place. In fact there are even more rare cases of humans that have changed gender as a result of either 5-alpha-reductase deficiency (5alpha-RD-2) or 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency (17beta-HSD-3).

Rabbits do not fall into that strange and rare category of animals that change gender. A rabbit born a buck, will be a buck at 6 months, will be a buck at a year. A rabbit born as a doe will be a doe and 6 months, will be a doe at a year.

At young ages it can sometimes be difficult for experienced breeders, and even more difficult for inexperienced breeders to sex a rabbit. The majority of "sex changed" rabbits are actually the result of rabbits mis-sexed by the breeder. We have rarely made this mistake. You can usually trust a breeder who has been breeding for several years.

There are other factors that can contribute to a mis-sexed rabbit. A buck with a split penis will often be sexed as a doe. Using unreliable techniques to determine the gender of a rabbit will often result in mistakes. We will soon have an article on how to properly sex a rabbit.

The bottom line is that it is genetically impossible for a rabbit to change gender. Next time you hear that, remember, its a rabbit that was not properly sexed.

A Simple Strategy to Winning the Fantasy 5 Lottery

Everybody wants to win the Fantasy 5 Lottery. Everyone who joined may have come up with certain strategies to play out the Fantasy 5, or have used the power of luck. Although some have become successful, still many are at the losing end of the Fantasy 5 Lottery.

Fantasy 5 Lottery games are one of the best lottery bets you can play anywhere. The odds of matching all 5 numbers are 1 in 376,992, compared to million to one odds in matching six numbers. Fantasy 5 Lottery games are based on a selection of random numbers. It is highly unquestionably that a person or computer software can predict which numbers will be drawn. One of the first tips I will teach you about is to never waste money on lottery computer software that promises to crack the drawing of winning numbers.

Another tip for winning the Fantasy 5 lottery is to go against most lottery expert advises to veer away from the Quick Picks (computer generated picks). Why? Fifty percent of most Fantasy 5 Lottery jackpot winners over the past five years or so came from quick picks. So, when taking that Fantasy 5 play slip, better think twice to see if a Quick Pick can make your day. Look at the past - the best way to drastically improve the chances of winning not just the Fantasy 5 Lottery jackpot, but the 3, 4, 5 matches as well is to look at the archive of winning numbers previously drawn. Play it safe - play the numbers that appear more frequently than those who are cold I draws. A great way to look at these numbers is to view the archives of numbers previously won. There are reports published and sold, even online, for aspiring jackpot winners. You can see which of the 36 numbers have been most frequently drawn over the course of around 5years or so. With this, you get a better picture of the numbers with the most winning percentages.

Below are some more simple strategies in winning the Fantasy 5 Lottery

1. Play a combination of odd and even numbers, 2 odds, 3 evens, or vice versa. The report on the percentages of winning number stated that over a 5-year period, these combinations has a 66.19% wins.

2. The Report also stated that in a combination, it is best to play either 3 low numbers, 2 high number combinations, or vice versa. The winning percent of this combo yields 67.18%

3. Again, it's about the winning numbers. Play numbers that hit most repeatedly.

4. However, do not play the same number sets - choose wisely. Same sets appear very rarely in every 5 year period, the report only says twice.

5. Do not play an all odd or an all even combination. The odds are, just not even.

6. Consequently, as from the previous statements above, do not play a combination of all low numbers, and a combination of all high numbers.

7. It is always best to include some quick picks in your Fantasy 5 Lottery plays.

Japanese Genkouyoushi and Essay Tips

It's a type of paper used in all manuscripts of writing in Japanese. Vertical writing usually starts from right to left and top to bottom. Horizontal writing starts from left to right and top to bottom. Here are some tips for you.

Vertical Writing

1. Title: write the title in the 1st line. The 1st word starts from the 4th square. If the title starts with numbers, write them in Kanji.
2. Name: writer's name is on the 2nd line. Last name comes before the first name. Leave 1 square between the last and first name. Leave 1 square below the first name as well.
3. The First Sentence of the Essay or Paragraph: starts from the 3rd line in the 2nd square. Each new paragraph starts from the 2nd square.
4. Punctuation Marks: usually occupy their own squares. Exception: when they will occur at the top of next line, we write them at the bottom right quarter next to the last word of the current line.
5. Small Characters: each occupations 1 square and we place it on the top right quarter of the square.
6. The Subheading (if applicable): has 1 empty line before and after. It starts from the 3rd square of a new line. If there are no subheadings, just start the next paragraph in a new line after the previous one.
7. Elongation Mark: when writing from top to bottom, the elongation mark should also be written from top to bottom in the middle of the square.
8. Writing Numbers: use kanji instead of Arabic number. One number occupations 1 square.

Horizontal Writing

1. All the rules (1-8) in vertical writing would normally apply to horizontal writing.
2. Small characters occupy in the bottom left quarter of 1 square.
3. When writing conversation script, we use the Japanese quotation mark.

Essay Tips

• Always aim to write about 90% of the words required. Between 90-100% is great. Below 80% will not give you good marks.
• Always write Kanji if you can. Too many Hiragana will not help you get good marks.
• Be consistent. Stick to whichever the form you choose to use for sentences through the essay. To include all what you wanted to write about without exceeding the word limits, we recommend to use the plain form. The plain form also gives the friendly feeling to readers.
• Avoid using slang or colloquial words / expression in the formal essay writing.
• Avoid repeating the same words or the same content too often.
• Avoid writing a sentence that is longer than 2 lines of the Genkouyoushi.
• Ensure the logic of the sentence flows.
• Ensure there are no typos or writing errors. eg, You are thinking of 1 word but you wrote it differently.
• If you need to write in pencil, please make sure you choose the proper one for clarity of reading and ease of writing.

'H' indicates the hardness. eg, 3H is harder than H.

'B' indicates the blackness. eg, 3B is softer than B.

'F' indicates that you sharpen the pencil to a fine point.

Video From a Computer to a TV

Setting up a TV to view what is on the computer is fairly simple or easy to do as long as the necessary cables are available. Currently there are a few ways to hook up a TV to a computer with S-video, HDMI, or DVI. S-video is the older of these and is round it does not carry audio so a cable will have to be bought to go from the sound card to the TV.

DVI is next and can carry high definition signal to the TV. It as with S-video, does not carry sound though and will need a additional cable to carry the audio to the TV. HDMI is the best as of right now because it carries not only high definition but it also caries sound, which is great for a quick and clean setup. Of course all of this will depend on which kind of TV you have. Most TV's currently come with S-Video, HDMI and DVI connections. S-Video is slowly being phased out and will soon disappear.

The best thing to do is know what type of TV connections and computer connections you have so that you can buy the necessary cables. Then once you find out which cables you need s-Video, HDMI, or DVI then you can go to your local electronics store and buy what you need. Although I find it much cheaper if not easier to buy the items online. S-Video, HDMI and DVI cables are often expensive at a local store buying online can save you some money. Of course use your favorite search engine or trusted online store to buy what you will need.
