Bimethyls

Here are some maintenance log entries from a major airline – or so the email says, showing the problems reported by pilots (P) and solutions recorded by mechanics (S).

It’s probably true. You couldn’t make these things up.

P: Left inside main try almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main try.

P: Test flight OK, except autoload very rough.
S: Autoland not installed on this aircraft.

P: No. 2 propeller seeping prop fluid.
S: No 2 propeller seepage normal. Nos. 1, 3 & 4 propellers lack normal seepage.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: live bugs on backorder.

P: Autopilot in altitude hold mode produces a 200-fpm descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That’s what they’re there for!

P: OFF inoperative.
S: OFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windscreen.
S: Suspect you’re right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search. [The pilot meant engine 'misfiring'.]

P: Aircrafts handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed radar with words.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

Communication is hard in the work world, and in our private lives. Someone said “Whatever you say, assume it’s been misunderstood,” and it’s probably a good idea.

In this case, we can see the misunderstandings, the humor and also the exasperation. Can you imagine the pilot assuming there was “autoload” on his or her airplane? There’s just no telling about other people’s assumptions. I’m reminded of the attorney I once worked for who flagged me down while sharpening a pencil in an electric pencil sharpener. “How do I get this out of here?” he asked me. Or the time our business went computer and my boss took his zip code for his salary and was furious. Sometimes communication takes a lot of tact!

We always tend to think things are easier somewhere else – that the communications we have between inside sales and outside sales are worse in our place, or the communication between lawyer and paralegal, or between partner and partner, or that surely pilots and mechanics can communicaethere’s “only” an airplane between the two of them.

As I say in my ebook, “Communication,” good communication takes a lot of work – expressing yourself clearly, listening up, and repeating back for clarification to make sure you’ve understood and been understood. It’s particularly hard in writing where there’s no feedback (as we see here), and no non-verbals to read.

It also requires excellent emotional intelligence skills – creativity, flexibility, intuition, and empathy.

67% of the qualities that contribute to success are emotional intelligence competencies. Work on your communication! It will pay off in both your private and your professional life.

Janine Wachowski, a long-time resident of South Elgin, Illinois, drives a school bus and is also a Powerseller at eBay (user id: the_w.a.s_ezone). In one year, her gross monthly sales went from $328 to over $45,000.

Janine began her wildly successful online business because of a chance conversation in late 2003 with a neighbor. Janine’s neighbor, a fan of eBay, noticed her extensive VHS collection of Disney films and suggested she try selling them on eBay. Her neighbor took her online to eBay and pulled up some auctions for some of the very same VHS tapes she had in her collection. Janine was astounded that people were paying almost double what she originally paid for the same films. This was a revelation to Janine since at that point in time, she had certainly heard of eBay, but had never bought or sold there. She caught the “eBay bug” and caught it good!

Because she was anxious to get started, Janine’s neighbor showed her how to sign up for eBay and their online payment system, Paypal. Within hours Janine had her first bids. Within the week, she was ravenous for more to sell. Janine began to research wholesale movie suppliers. She also bought a few “wholesale” lists off eBay that she describes as “mostly junk but a good learning experience”.

Motivated to create a successful online business to supplement her income, Janine continued researching potential suppliers. She finally discovered a major wholesale distributor of movies, games and electronic accessories. Within months Janine was dominating the DVD TV show categories on eBay selling popular titles like “The Twilight Zone” and other multi-disc collectors sets.

Not to be satisfied with the status quo, Janine next opened her eBay store (The WAS eZone). She created customers by using eBay’s “keyword Campaigns”. She also uses effective auction promotion to drive sales to her store. Since Jan 2005, she has sold over 3000+ dice games!

As a breast cancer survivor, Janine has brought the same determination she used to defeat cancer to creating a thriving online business. Diagnosed with cancer in both breasts four years ago, Janine went through chemotherapy and other rehabilitation efforts. She is proud to be a survivor of cancer. She is currently working on several products of her own design that reflect her personal experience with that dreaded disease.

Never one to slow down, Janine has recently begun construction on her first Website. However, product aside, Janine is successful because of great customer service. A good example of her dedication to her customers occurred in December, 2004.

Janine had ordered a large shipment of the LCR (Left Center Right) dice game but it ended up delayed. Meanwhile, on eBay, hundreds of orders came in before she could stop her auctions. When the LCR games finally arrived, she was too late to ship them UPS that day. Give up and wait until tomorrow? Not Janine! Janine called the UPS shipping center and tracked down the location of the UPS driver for her area. She finally tracked him down at a local donut shop. She was able to convince him to come back to her house and pick up over 400 LCR games she had packed and ready to go. Why wouldn’t you be wildly successful if you brought the same level of customer dedication to your business that Janine does routinely to hers?

Janine attributes her amazing success within her first year to four key factors. She says, “I truly enjoy the entire process of listing products, selling, shipping and dealing with customers. I work very hard researching profitable products and have found products that continue to be in high demand. I offer personalized customer service and often receive letters from customers praising my service. Last, but not least, I love working with my coach at Online Business Institute Inc., Sterling Brown. He’s the best!”

Janine intends to see her bus driving job through to retirement in a couple of years. So until that time, if you’re driving in South Elgin, Illinois, and see a school bus ahead, a little respect please. You might be in the presence of a cancer survivor and future online business millionaire.

Michele Schermerhorn has over 30 years experience in the business world and over 12 years running her own successful online businesses. She is President of Online Business Institute Inc. (http://www.obinstitute.com), authors a sassy marketing blog (http://www.imarketblog.com), and regularly conducts free online seminars. Online Business Institute Inc. exists to “Create Successful Online Business Owners One Person At A Time”.

It doesn’t matter if you live in Hemet California or in Bedford Texas a effective online examination will redeem you often a lot of disorder. You should be lustrous today to analyze if you have a nice bargain or if you don’t with the moneylender that offers you a credit loan.

Translated in Dutch: Woon je in Oegstgeest of Etten-Leur en heeft u BKR codering. Lenen met een BKR notering is nog nooit zo gemakkelijk geweest. Verwen jezelf met een andere caravan met met geld lenen een bkr registratie, 498168 euro is geen enkel probleem om te lenen. Van Duiven tot Loppersum, geld lenen met BKR is altijd mogelijk.

That’s why now you really need to check over and visualize if you can have a bank loan at a right percent interest rate. Many of the moneylenders wil show you a loan rate that is looking mediocre but feels poorly or so after some time. A merchant bank in Fresno California or so may have a total completely different actual rate for a 22500 dollar credit loan then a bank in Cape Girardeau Missouri and that makes a vast clear difference in your weekly costs. Examine to see if the moneylender who is tending to give you a loan is respectable. At this present you can check over rates quickly at websites and figure if there are other possible traps you should be aware of. 8.2 percent interest rate may come along so mediocre but will that be the same after you have to pay back your money loan.

As I awaken, vision slowly clearing, I find myself peering out over a vast body of water… In the distance I notice an image approaching… Nearer and ever nearer…the image is of a young woman… she has a veil of muted colors and dressed in a flowing gown… In her hands is a bouquet of flowers, and hovering lightly above the blossoms, a beautiful Butterfly. When she reaches the edge of the sands, she steps gently towards me, through the veil I can detect a faint smile, one the invites my responding in kind… as her Lips part I hear her call me by name… She motions for me to sit by her in the sands, and proceeded to tell me of her Travels… She described the very places I have visited in my dreams, she told me of heights which looked out of Valleys of wild flowers, and of depths where echoes muted in fear… Then she touched me, soft, tender, and I felt my heart race…She lowered her veil, leaned to me and Kissed me, as no lips have ever touched mine before… When I opened my eyes, she was Gone…and in my lap rested a single flower and a note… “Love has not forgotten you, nor has Love Abandoned you…I will always be near” as I pondered these events… I was jolted to alertness by my alarm clock… had this too been only a dream? I looked over and saw on the pillow next me that same flower, and the note… Seems, Love had Come and Gone in but an Instant cloaked as a Dream… By Nazmier

Growing from a tropical country, winter is one of the seasons that people dream of. The large contribution and influence for this is when you see others get a chance to have a white Christmas. Next to autumn, the vastness of the snow makes the place serene and pure. Some people are not fond of cold like Bella Swan of the Twilight movie but soon realized that it is not so bad after all. You have to experience scorching sun in countries near equator for others to realize how blessed they were to have all four seasons.

For those who just can’t seem to get the ‘I hate the cold’ syndrome, they would rather stay at home and sulk. But for others who just can’t seem to run out of creative ways to enjoy the cold weather, they run out for a snowball fight, or other sorts of winter sports like toboggan sledging, skiing, snowboarding, ice skating or for those who are not a fan of the extremes, they could simply stay in their front yard building snowmen. The more mischievous kids would have a game of snowball throwing at the bus or at stray cats.

Others may find real difficulty when they wake up freezing and have to shovel their driveway before they can have their car out to the street. One sweet thing about the cold season is, you can enjoy a really hot cup of cocoa while sitting comfy, knitting or reading a book in your favorite loveseat in front of your fireplace. Simple pleasures in life give others reasons to enjoy and appreciate the spell of winter.

There is definitely a link between folate and depression, people with depression may have lower than normal blood folate levels.

Research in Norway has also found, that people with high levels of Homocysteine in the blood, were nearly twice as likely to be depressed.

High levels of Homocysteine can also increase the possibility of Heart Attacks, Strokes and other cardiovascular problems.

While many credit cards offer rates hovering between 20% and 24%, some of their competitors offer far lower interest rates, including introductory offers of zero percent interest and ongoing rates below 10%. These rates, obviously, make it much simpler to transfer and pay off balances quickly. Low interest credit cards are in high demand currently and credit card providers have provided a wide variety of low interest and 0% APR offers to keep their place within the steep competition in the credit card market. You could even find some retailers offering 0% APR credit cards, often including purchase rebates and/or discounts. Some credit card providers even offer the 0% APR for up to 15 months. Utilizing a low interest credit card offers an excellent opportunity when making large consumer purchases as well.

Because the market for consumers with excellent credit is so competitive, low interest credit cards are often available with no sign up or annual membership fees. Many times, these fees will keep the cream of the crop credit customers from applying for their cards. If your credit is unblemished, you can take your pick off offers and you should never have to pay a fee to acquire a low interest credit card or 0% APR credit card – ever. The fees are only for those with poor credit, who are a significant risk for nonpayment. Shop around until you find a credit card company that is willing to compete for your business by eliminating fees.

The obvious benefit of a low interest credit card is that you will spend a lot less money over time on interest and fees. One thing to watch is the length of the “introductory” period. Many cards offer low or zero percent interest for several months, and then the interest rate jumps directly up to 20%. Make sure you read the fine print of any credit card offer before you sign up. The more information you have about your credit card upfront, the fewer unpleasant surprises you will face down the road.

One of the most popular ways to save money with 0% APR credit cards is to transfer a balance from a higher interest loan to a new credit card account. Sometimes, the introductory credit card rates are even better than auto loan rates, so there are some who would transfer their remaining car loan debts onto a new credit card and save on interests, knowing they can pay off the balance of the car before the introductory period expires.

Be aware that cash advances may come with their own fees, and with their own correspondingly higher interest rates. There may be separate interest rates for balance transfers, new purchases, and cash advances. While one way low interest credit card companies make money is from the percentage they gain from retailers and merchants, they also make a significant amount of money from people who do not take the time to read all of the specific terms and conditions that go along with their new low interest credit cards. Again, read the fine print before signing up!

Properly researching the card offer in advance will definitely save you a lot of headaches in the future. Do not be one of the many victims of credit card debt; instead, use your low interest credit card to your financial advantage. The key is to find and utilize the available information. The more information you can gather, the better decision you would make. It would be a shame to rejoice over a newly gained low interest or 0% APR credit card, just to open up your bill after the first month of purchases to find an unpleasant surprise. Low interest credit cards could be a real financial lifesaver, but they could easily become a trap for the unaware. Stay ahead of the game, and know what you are getting into before you apply.
