22 Jan 10 Ways To Donate To Haiti Relief
The disaster in Haiti defies any sort of words to describe the chaos that has ravaged most of the country. Roughly estimated, around 1/3 of the population is in need of the most basic aide in order to survive. That means millions are without simply food, water, shelter, as well as clean clothes and other hygiene accessories. Reading the news stories, and watching the devastation on TV makes you want to take action, to help those in need. If you’re feeling the need to help those that desperately need your assistance, here are a few ways:
Modern technology is fantastic. In addition to making our everyday lives easier, technology has made giving aide to those in need easier as well. By simply text messaging “Haiti” to the number 90999 you can make a $10 donation to the Red Cross. If you don’t have the ability to text, you can also send donations by calling 1-800-RED CROSS, or by visiting the charity’s website at RedCross.org.
Almost 50% of Haiti’s population is under the age of 18, meaning there are many minors also in need of special aide. One of the chief foundations offering clothing and other valuable resources is Kids In Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.). You can reach K.I.D.S. by visiting their website at KidsDonations.org. They accept either cash donations to help the cause, or you can contact the charity and find out which items are acceptable for you to send as aide.
UNICEF is another one of the major humanitarian organizations that’s hard at work mobilizing to help the Haitian population. They provide food and other resources to as many in need as possible, and are in the process of raising $120million to aide the 50% of Haitians that are under the age of 18. To help this cause by donating, you can either visit the website UNICEFUSA.org, or call UNICEF at 1-800-4UNICEF.
If you are a frequent flyer for your job, or leisure, and you have a lot of frequent flyer miles saved up, you can also consult your airline to see if they are accepting frequent flyer mile donations. Many are accepting them, in order to reduce the cost of sending aide to Haiti via their airlines. If you have a few miles lying around, and you feel like doing all you can, get in contact with your preferred airline.

26 Oct 09 The Health Importance Of Pumpkins
Now that Halloween is rolling around this weekend, you’ve probably got pumpkins on your mind. Whether because you see them all around, considering Autumn is pumpkin time, and North America is where pumpkins originated. Or because you’re gearing up for some pumpkin carving sessions, as part of the holiday fun. You may have overlooked just how nutritious pumpkins are to your health, opposed to just the fun they offer this season.
Pumpkins are actually another one of those foods that is spectacular for you health wise. You may not have even thought about it, but pumpkins offer a variety of healthy benefits. Most of those being antioxidants. The meaty part of a pumpkin contains a variety of antioxidants that do everything from eliminate free radicals to clear out your veins lowering your cholesterol.
Pumpkins also contain plenty of zinc which strengthens your bones by helping to fend off osteoporosis. Pumpkins also have plenty of fiber, which functions to clear out your entire system, from your intestines, to your veins. Fiber clears everything up, and pumpkins offer plenty of great healthy fiber.
But it’s not just the pumpkin meat that’s fantastically good for you, don’t discard how important the seeds are. Pumpkins are very high in lean healthy protein. Pumpkin seeds are also known to contain plenty of iron, magnesium, copper, and plenty of zinc. All of which are important for your body to soak up in the appropriate amounts.
Pumpkins seeds also are high in phytosterols, which are like a form of healthy cholesterol that can actually help to aid in reducing harmful cholesterol within the body. Pumpkin seed oil is actually full of these healthy fatty acids, and are a great place to turn for them. So don’t underestimate what that pumpkin can do for you. And when you’re carving one up with the family, save the seeds and try baking them for a tasty, and very healthy snack.

27 Sep 09 Daily Time Management Tips – 1
There are many people who walk through the day without completing any work, and then there are people who are never late on anything, and complete all their work on time. Which group do you fall in? If you are in the latter group then congratulations for being so wise with your time, but if you are in the former group then you need to read further to know how you can manage your time.
You have enough time
If you think 24 hours is less in a day then you are wrong. 24 hours is sufficient for us to conduct our day. Yes, I have included a long sleep as well. If you fail to complete your day’s work before the clock waves the checkered flag then you must be wasting your time.
How many times in a day you get bored, or feel you have nothing to do despite having pending work?
Fight this bad habit! Do not waste your time watching too much television or surfing net for hours. Facebook is good relaxation mechanism, and so is its applications like FarmVille, but do not waste hours, because this will not pay your bills.
Planner
Do you have a monthly or weekly planner? Have you listed the important work you need to complete in this week or month? If you do not know where you have to go from here or what you have to do in the coming week or month, then how do you expect yourself to do something? Do what? Figure that first.
To-do list
Not having a to-do list for the day is one of the biggest reasons, if not the biggest, behind our failure to complete the day’s work.
Prioritize
Just having a generic to-do list is as good as having not any. You need to prioritize the things you have to accomplish. Put the most important work on the top of the list, followed by the second most important work, and then move downward in this fashion until your list finishes.
Do not bite too much
This is an age old advice, which people still disregard. Do not bite more than you can chew. Taking too much works will render you unproductive.
Real goal
Be realistic in setting goals. No one around is a superman, if you do not believe this then read the statement many times over till you believe it, as no one here is a superman.
