<div style="text-align: justify;">
People says that writing is easy, interesting as well. And I do agree. It is interesting and a kinda of soul therapy. But for some people, writing is a very hard work to be done. But how ever, especially for blogger, writing and expressing her/his mind into article is a must! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Writing is related to the content/entry for his/her blog. Means, they have to write if wanna have an active blog. Writing is a must, if they wanna have the page rank increased!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, it won't be easy any more when we face the 'writing block'. The ideas disappeared, nothing left to write. So what to do then? While the blog entry is waiting. :(<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Actually, there is one thing that people is not aware, that <u>ideas can come from any where</u>. Do you realize that when you saw a paper or tissues or plastic bag thrown by a car's passenger to the street, means, <u>you see the idea</u>! Yea, that is a good idea to write about the waste management and sanitary topic. Or, when you found a child was crying in the crowded market, that is also the idea! It will be a good topic for caring and awareness. And others examples. Ideas are playing around us. Believe me, ideas are waiting to be seen by you who are aware of them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some friends then said, ok, we can have ideas from any where, but the next problem is how to process this idea to be a good article? How to be productive in writing? How to solve the 'writing block'?<br />
<br />
Hm, ok, I am not a good adviser, but for myself, I have 3 simple tips to answer those questions.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><u><b>1. Writing From Your Soul</b></u></span><br />
<br />
This is the main point to be set in mind. Believe me, you will be surprised to see every thing flows smoothly when you let your soul to be involve in it. We will be able to write fluently when we let our mind to cooperate with our soul. :)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><u>2. Think Creative [Maximize the Ideas]</u></b></span><br />
<br />
As I said in the previous statement, ideas come from everywhere. Let your soul be involved in this writing process and never try to copy someone else's writing style. Be your self, have your own character. It will be a positive step to brand your self.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><u><b>3. Feel Free to Write, Do not Imposes Your Self on the Writing Quality</b></u></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><u><b><br /></b></u></span>
Yes, this is also important to keep in mind. Never imposes your self about the article content and its quality. Any time you impose your self to write excellent topic, high quality, then you will face the writing block. You won't be able to express your idea freely, because of worrying about the content quality. You should change the strategy. To get a good quality article, start it by writing from your soul, feel free and be creative to maximize the ideas, and write freely using your own character. Be your self, and enjoy your writing. :)<br />

It was early morning when I got a call from my brother, asked me to help him shopping a gift for her wife whose birthday next week. Actually, he is a good husband of course, always arranges the birthday gift by himself, but unfortunately, he was traveling on his mission to the rural areas in some of districts in Kalimantan, so that he was not able to buy the gift as well as arranging the gift delivery. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Helping him arranging the birthday gift, of course won’t be a big deal for me. I am sure that it won’t take lots of my time. Since the internet is exploded, and thousands of merchants put their stuff online for shoppers to view and shop from wherever they want, then the online shopping is being a new culture for people to cut off their busy schedule. By just touching the screen or clicking a mouse, shoppers can buy any product online, but, however, shoppers must be smart in determining the trusted online stores, because the same things can go wrong shopping online as in the real world. Sometimes it is simply a case of a computer glitch or poor customer service. Other times, shoppers are cheated by clever scam artist. So, be aware!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of my favourite online store is Lamido Indonesia [link: http://lamido.co.id]. This is the ‘sister company’ of Lazada Indonesia. Lamido is the famous trusted online store that provide various categories of items, such as Gadgets [Handphone & Tablet], Elektronic, fashion, accessories, watch, health and beauty product, etc. This store is also frequently offers special discount! So, if you are a discount lovers, keep visiting this online store and shop crazily. ☺</div>

It just need simple steps in processing this cute dress. But firstly, be sure that we are the registered customer onto this site. So, sign up first if we are not registered yet, then start procesing the order and transaction.
As the trusted online store, Lamido has been proven its professionalism in servicing its customer. Based on my experiences, it will need about 4 upto 7 days to have the items arrived at my door. So, let’s shop at <a href="http://www.lamido.co.id/fashion/pakaian-wanita" rel="nofollow">Lamido MarketPlace</a>. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
No! It isn't a song! Lol. Am not singing or creating a song. When I can't Sleep, is my real situation when writing this article. Yea, I don't know what's up with me. It's very difficult for me to sleep early these days. Yea, actually, sleeping early [at about 9 - 10 pm] is not my habit. Usually, I go to bed around 11 - 12 pm. :D<span id="fullpost">
</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But now, it getting worse. And put me in difficulties, actually. I need rest, and we knew that good rest, specially at night time, is come from sleep, right? Then what should I do to become fall a sleep? Googling and browsing, then I got this information, and I will try. It says like this;<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 1.35em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 1.35em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Start by trying to take your mind off any racing thoughts.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.35em;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.35em;">Picture a relaxing scene that involves sleep and build that scene in your mind. So, let's say your scene has you lying in a beach hammock under the stars. Imagine what the waves sound like. Are there other sounds, like palm trees rustling? What sensations do you feel (like the hammock swaying, or maybe a warm breeze blowing)? Is anyone else there with you? Focus completely on this scene for a while.</span></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hm, I don't think it is an easy step. For me, its difficult to ask my mind to imagine. :) But I will try. I will focus my mind and imagine that I am lying in a Kuta Beach, starring at the stars and listening the whistle blows and the waves sound. Hm..., yea, I were there! And you know what? This first step, succeed. I don't need to step to the next one. I am feeling sleepy now, and excuse me, I wanna go to bed now, before my eyes awake widely. Good Nite, dear Friends! Have a good rest, sweet dream!</div>

Dear readers, is any of you received an email from a courier company and said that the parcel addressed to you is put on hold, and requested you to send some money to release the parcel? :D</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did. And believe me, this email was not coming from the real courier agency, but from the scammer links. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oops! How can I get in touch with the scammer? Haha. Ok, let me tell you the chronologist of this story. Actually, I was doing a research through internet, for my new novel. The theme is about the relationship between a scammer who finally falling in love to the lady he scammed. And how to get the scammer to research? How to know that they are scammers? It is easy.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;">Scammer are playing on the dating sites, and social networks, setting up a very nice profiles, and put on beautiful/handsome pictures which are not their own pictures. Usually they will claiming that they are from United States or United Kingdom, but work in foreign country such as Nigeria, Cambodia, Kuala Lumpur, etc. He/she creates a story of a successful business person, has husband/wife who passed away because of car accident, etc, has a son/daughter who lives with his/her mom, or even has no family. They present themselves as a very nice person, caring and loving individual who is searching for their soul mate, partner in life. They are very good at what they do, asking lots of questions regarding what we [the victims] want in our lives. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;">The information they get, then turns it into a dream that becomes a reality to the victim. Scammers use very nice words, romantic and too good to be true. They use psychology to hold us in their spell. Once they have established a nice relationship then the scamming begins. This is the story I wanna share.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I met this guy, name James King, at <a href="http://www.tagged.com/profile.html?uid=5969588831">tagged.com site</a>. He started conversation politely, built and impressed a very nice character. Never asked to see my cam. He sent 3 pictures of him which I believe that they were not his pictures. How can I know and being so sure that those pictures were not his? Because he was not able to add more pictures of him when I requested him to send more. Come on! What difficult to send pictures? This is digital era where we can shot our selves every single minutes using our handphone. It is just a single click! Ta Da! But he can't do that. He said that he is not a model type. He doesn't like taking picture. Ok, I changed my strategy. Asked him to show him self on web cam and he did! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I saw him, and he is not a Nigerian as I thought. Lol. He is a caucasian. At least that is what I saw on his cam. But who knows? May be he played a video recorder? It could be, couldn't it? :)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The relationship was well established. The emotional was bonded well. But of course, I reminded my self that I was doing my research and may not fall and fail! lol. I may not be a victim! But I tried [acting] to flow in his role. He told me that he want to take a break after the project completed. He wanted to visit me and see if there is a possibility to do investment in my country. <span style="color: red;">Oops! My alarm warned me! </span>This is one of scammer's criteria. Doing investment in a victim's country. He also wanted to buy me a house so we can stay together! <span style="color: red;">Oops! This is another criteria.</span> Lol. But I [acting] kept flowing in his role. We chat every day, like a very good couple. One more thing, he proposed me, haha. Until one day, he told me that he has to visit India to collect the money that his company owed him. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-style: italic;">Come on! This is modern era. Bank era. Transfer era! Why should he fly to India just to collect his money? Why don't just asking the finance to transfer the money into his bank account? </span>I raised this question but he explained that there was some work he should do there beside to collect the money. Ok, acceptable. But then, he also told me that he request the finance to prepare the cash. He doesn't want to have bank transfer system. So stupid! My alarm warned me again. This is a scammer. But wait, flow... flow and flow. You are doing your research! But meanwhile, he was successfully established a very good emotion between us. He was very care for me and my daughter. He shared his daily activity stories, as well as his 'son' [I m not so sure that this son is exist, lol] who is going to college in Miami. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until one day, when he was [pretending?] in 'India, he chat me, told me that he just shopping, bought some souvenirs for me and my daughter. And asking my address to send the parcel. <span style="color: red;">Again, my alarm warned. This is scammer. you should wait and see what is the next step! Surprisingly... the text from his phone shocked me! </span>How can this man being so stupid? Inserted a huge of hard currency in the package of parcel! Oow! I am sad to find the reality, this is really-really scammer. How ever, I do hope that this man will be a good friend of mine, because the way he interacted, the way he communicated, was very nice, was very wise. But day by day, my alarmed warned me more and more! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another text came to me after that, from a courier, name <a href="http://highyfly.com/">Highfly Courier</a> telling me that the parcel just departed from Indira Gandhi airport, leaving for Bangkok and will continue to Indonesia next morning. This text also shown me the tracking code to allow me checking the status of the parcel. <span style="color: red;">Wow... it looks like real! But wait! It is too good to be true.</span> <span style="color: blue;">How can a person that we never known yet, we never met yet, send us gadget that cost a lots? And the more crazy thing was, how can the person who never met us, send us 60,000 US Dollar? lol!!! It is tooooooo good to be true! IMPOSSIBLE. </span>But I am still waiting. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was another text reached me in the evening. From the courier, told me that the parcel just arrived at the airport of Bangkok, waiting to be cleared and will fly to Indonesia tomorrow morning. I went to the highfly website to track the status of parcel. Wow, I found the status like this!</div>

It was really like real! It made me happy of course, I felt a bit guilty because I have a negative thinking about him. I texted him, let him know the status of the parcel. And he replied, 'hope that you will love the things I send babe!". Wow! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I forwarded the email to see his response. He [pretended] shocked. But can't do anything because he can't sent the money through western union from India. India doesn't have this facility. Oh, come on, I am not as that such stupid man! He insisted me to go to my friend because I said I have no money to send, to borrow the money from my friend and send to the person mentioned in the email. Haha...</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I won't do that stupid thing babe! I refused to do that, and told him that I was very busy and has no chance to to that. He got mad but can not force me. Seems he still waiting for my next action and may be hoping that I will go to send the money. But NO WAY! Lol.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then... two weeks later, the parcel was still PUT ON HOLD, haha. He talked to me. Said that he was not happy with me. He has sent the parcel that cost him a lots, and also the currency, 60,000 USD! But see what I did? I did no effort to release the parcel.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I replied, with a link from a website, that talk about <a href="http://www.lawyerment.com.my/boards/article-Other_Laws_of_Malaysia-1261.htm">'the parcel is put on hold'</a> thing. I told him that since the beginning my alarm has warned me, to be aware of this modus. And thanks God, I am not the one who will send the money to make you rich! Bla...bla....bla... and then, two or three days later, he disappeared. Never come online anymore. Haha... </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I believe that he is a scammer.!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well readers, this post have been too long, hope this will give you some input to be more aware of the scammer. They can act in every modus. Be aware, for more information regarding scammer, you can access this <a href="http://www.romancescams.org/">website</a> and this <a href="http://www.lawyerment.com.my/boards/article-Other_Laws_of_Malaysia-1030.htm">website</a> . </div>

Just be aware, don't trust every thing that seems TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. :)</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Broken Heart? What is it? How to heal?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This series of questions are like a cycle in human life. Love, usually will give human two impacts. Happiness, sadness or event both? Yes, you will look happy when your life is coloring by flowers of love, but then your day will full of tears like rainy days when your soul mate breaking your heart . You will feel like that lost the meaning in your life or that you will never get over this pain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Realizing that your heart isn't damaged is a relief. But when you're desperately trying to let go of a former mate, and you're in emotional agony, this bit of wisdom is cold comfort. Many say they can feel a physical aching in the chest that can last for weeks and even months. An inability to hear love songs on the radio without crying is common. At worst, those struggling through a break-up can't stand to be alone, and avoid places where they might see their ex. Conversely, they might even arrange to run in" to their former flame.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why do we find it so hard to release when a relationship ends?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We get emotionally attached when we fall in love. Emotional attachment is wonderful when the relationship is in full bloom, but a great source of pain when the romance is over. Emotional attachment is responsible for much angst, from jealousy to endless mooning over the lost love, to an inability to move on. Once you finally break the attachment, you have pleasant neutrality towards the former object of your attachment. You know you're over him when you can see him with another woman and not feel a surge of emotion. It's not that you wish him ill; you simply no longer see why you were so hung up on him to begin with. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span id="fullpost"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="fullpost"><span style="color: red;">There are three steps </span>you can take to expedite the process of release and be free of the pain. If you start practicing them immediately, you may find yourself getting on with your life and experiencing a heady freedom by tomorrow. </span></div>
<span id="fullpost">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="fullpost"><br /></span></div>
<span id="fullpost">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;">Step One: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Release Constantly. Be aware of how often you think of your former love after the break-up. For example, something may trigger a memory, or a friend may ask how the two of you are doing. Perhaps you go so far as to maintain contact deliberately with his friends and family in hopes of rekindling the flame. Your ex is a point of reference for you. You wonder what he would think of your new haircut, or what she's up to. You may torment yourself imagining her involvement with someone else.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This pattern of thinking is not helpful to you, and it needs to stop. You should cease an behavior that keeps you hanging on. There is a magic inrelease. If you are meant to be with her, nothing can keep you apart. For now, you need to disengage. Releasing is not something you can fake. You have to really let go. Letting go may expedite her coming back to you, but you can't do it for this reason. She is not with you now, and that reality must be faced. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;">How to Release: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cease any behavior that propels you toward her. No more phone calls. Avoid places you may see her if possible. You also need to quit thinking about her and imagining a reunion. Every time you start thinking of her, say (either out loud or silently), "I release you to your highest good. I am free now." As you let go, a strange thing will happen. The Universe will begin to support you. Synchronistic events and spontaneous good will arise to distract you or pull you in another direction. Repeat this release, even if you have to do it dozens of times a day. Because you will be getting positive results, it will become easier and easier to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;">Step Two: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Focus on Your Life Vision. It is said that what you look for in another is only yourself. Refocus on your own life when you're plagued with thoughts of your ex-loves. This is healing. As you go through the grieving that is natural upon a break-up, begin to open to a vision of your life as you want it. Include not only the perfect relationship but also your life's mission and most importantly, an image of you at your best-in your power and flourishing, living your life to the fullest. Each time you begin to think of your former love, set these thoughts aside and instead contemplate the vision you've begun to create of yourself. Rather than falling into despair or plotting how to get her back, do something concrete to begin making this vision a reality. Your time is better spent, and this refocusing forces you back into honoring your highest self. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;">Step Three: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dissolve the Pain. Both of the previous steps will help you handle the pain of emotional release. However, if you have had other wounds in your life, you have built up a large emotional "pain body" that has been reactivated by this break-up. It is time to dissolve this pain body so that you'll never experience such deep loss again. Do this by allowing yourself to feel all of the pain you have stored up inside. Know that tears are healing, a release in and of themselves. Allow yourself to sob in the shower. Embrace the part of you that is inconsolable. Instead of fighting the pain in your heart (and any other physical symptoms), let them be, accepting them fully as part of your healing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As your pain body is dissolved, begin a practice that will keep you free from storing up more pain in the future. Teach yourself to not take on any new pain. To do this, you must change your perspective. First, know that no one is trying to hurt you. They're doing the best they can, and are simply showing you their limits of their insensitivity. This will help you to quit taking things personally and to forgive. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Secondly, quit feeding your pain. Many of us-especially those we would label "drama queens" (and kings)-need to experience pain in order to feel alive. For others, much of our identity is wrapped up in being a victim. The next time you begin feeling pain, catch yourself. Tell yourself, "I'm thinking of him again." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The simple act of noticing how you feed your pain will begin to dissolve it immediately. Next, do whatever is necessary to not let the pain mushroom into a full-blown despair. You may need to distract yourself or remember all the good you have in your life. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you dissolve your pain body and learn new patterns, your release will go very quickly. You will propel yourself into states of happiness and peace you didn't know existed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not only will this break-up not kill you, but it may be the best thing that ever happened to you. The pain of a break-up can push you into a world of magic, of release and of healing that you otherwise might not have entered. And even though you may think your ex is the be-all, end-all, of your life, undoubtedly there is more love, even better love right around the corner.</div>

Dear vistors,<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope that you all are in excellent health and enjoying your nice moments in life..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Actually this article is planned to post on valentine day but then another business turned me over and just saved this article in my directory. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, lets me share you this. It is based on a conversation between me and my net friend whereas this friendship builds two years ago. A friend of mine buzzed me when I am seriously writing <a href="http://oriqu.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">an article</a> for my blog. He is very confused in deciding what gift should give to her lovely wife. For me it is a bit strange because as western, celebrating valentine day is very common and husband gave special gift to wife at this moment. It is very common in western way. Therefore it is strange. Why should he be confused? </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span id="fullpost"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="fullpost">Well then, my responds is exploring what kind of gift given in the prior valentine celebration.. and one of the list she mentioned, nothing romantic gift except one white rose or red rose. Hm….</span></div>
<span id="fullpost">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The gift need to modify then…., of course, women love flower especially rose very much, but if every special event they got only rose/flower, you have to ensure yourself that it will be saturated someday. Yup, you have to modify it. Then what should I give?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well visitors,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Try more and more to find one that really match to your appearance to attract your spouse. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lingerie’s are designed to create a woman looks sexier. Making love will be more warm and romantic when the lingerie is fit to the lady. There are lots of lingerie’s available in the market place. What you need is just chose the best one that fit into your spouse’s body and style. Confused to select? No worries, usually lingerie’s story trained their customer service how to help customer choosing the suitable lingerie’s. The most important thing you need to know is well known your spouse body shape so that you can easily tell it to the store customer service to help you choosing the gift.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Visitors, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Writing</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">blogging</span> is like the side of coins. For you who love writing and familiar to share your idea, thought and opinion on blogging, I am sure that you are aware that this hobby is able to support you earning money as well. Yes it is. Lots of programs in the internet are available to support us earning the money, such as pay to click, pay per click, paid to review, and much more. Especially for the program called paid to review, whereas we will be paid for the article we post on our blog as <a href="http://www.blogadvertisingstore.com/" target="_blank">blog advertising</a>. This program is really match for those who love writing a lot. So… why just writing if we know that we also can earn money from this writing hobby? Yup… let’s start earning money from our blog. HOW?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
This is also my first question at the first time I found this info. But then I just go to the search engine such Google or <a href="http://dir.yahoo.com%22/" target="_blank">yahoo directory</a> and got lots of information regarding to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">‘how to earn money from your blog’<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span>. One of the paragraphs there explained that it is easy to start earning money from your blog, especially from <span style="font-weight: bold;">paid to review program</span>. The things you have to ensure are that your blogs has good page rank, minimal 2, good alexa, and ensure that your blog is in English even though some broker is accepted the blog in Indonesia Language. Hm… sounds a bit difficult for me as my blog is still on the PR 0 and 1. But why not just try? We won’t know we failed if we did not try, right? I did some registration on PTR broker such as Blogsvertise, SponsoredReview, Smorty, ReviewMe and others. Some brokers rejected my blogs but some others accepted. Of course I am very happy. But I have to wait for a long time to have my first job offer to review. I did not give up. What I do is keep posting, maintain and manage my blog, increase the page rank until one day I got an offer to review a product. Horray!!! And being happier when this post is approved by admin.<br />
<span id="fullpost">
<br />
Next day, I was Google-ing to find out how to get more jobs to review, and I found <a href="http://www.blogadvertisingstore.com/blog" target="_blank">this interesting broker</a> which is recommended by most of bloggers because of <span style="font-weight: bold;">its easy and fun</span> paid to review programs. And my impression for this broker? YUP. As what other bloggers comments, I also proved that sign up to this broker and reserved the opportunities there are very fun and challenged! You should try to have fun and earn money from it. YES, Why not to start now? It will not be difficult if we committed to keep learning and manage our sites.<br />
<br />
Interested? Don't wait any longer, just join us <a href="http://www.blogsvertise.com/?rid=b33158" target="_blank">here...</a>, <br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">My name is Alaika Abdullah, an Acehnese woman, Indonesian, forty something years old and love writing a lots!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For me, writing is an exciting soul therapy that really helps me in refreshing my mind and re-energizing my thought. It won’t be a big deal about the subject I have to write, coz this is my personal blog and I am free to write what ever I love to. ☺</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, how ever, I do hope that every single post released from this corner will be valuable for you even a little bit. As I said, writing is a soul therapy, that’s why I always try to release my feeling and thought thru writing, and published them into my several blogs, depend on the theme of articles, of course.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Starting from this hobby, I considered developing 6 personal blogs. Yes. Six! Isn’t that too much for the beginner? Haha… Yup. They were more than enough for a beginner. But at that time, these were very exciting! I have never thought that having 6 blogs at the same time will put me in difficulties in managing the blogs. ☺<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By the time passing, I realized that it was not easy to manage several blogs in the same time! Especially if we have another main job to handle and taking care. But however, I tried to consistently provide article for my main blog, such as <a href="http://alaikaabdullah.com/">My Virtual Corner </a>and <a href="http://fiksi.alaikaabdullah.com/">Episode Kehidupan</a>, which are in Indonesian Language.
In the other hand, I promised my self to also pay my responsibility in managing the other blogs, include this site. Unfortunately, my main job in the real world, the limitation of time, still put me in difficulties in feeding this site, but I will try my best!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am a chemical engineer whose involved in chemical industries for more then 9 years before a terrible tragedy, TSUNAMI, hit and damaged my lovely hometown, Aceh on 26 December 2004. Honestly, this tragedy called my body and soul to come back after more than 10 years never being home. No other option. I left my office in Medan, North Sumatera with no delay.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was already in Banda Aceh on the second day after tsunami, to find my parents and brother who lived in Banda Aceh. Thanks God I found them safe after seven day of search.
But seeing lots of people are injured and tears from people eyes, made me absolutely agreed when a doctor from a medical NGO asked me to join them, working and provide assistance for the survivors. THIS is my First step in switching my profession, from a quality control engineer being a humanitarian worker. You know what? I found my self love this kind of job, a lots! Helping and providing our assistance for the survivors are really-2 a happy work I ever made. It really put me in an absolute happiness!.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, it’s not easy for me to do the works related to trauma healing since my background is an engineer. But as a quick learner, Thanks God, I can easily absorbed the lesson provided in the training about trauma healing, which is provided by the organization for me and other Indonesian colleagues. We learned a lots and fast!
I moved into other organization after this medical NGO completed its mission and returned to the head quarter office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BRR NAD-Nias, is another agency that I joined in. Providing my contribution in regards to help my people and country. I was working in this agency for more than 3 years [until its completed its mission]. Then moved into another different agency called Handicap International. This agency is absolutely different compared to other NGO I used to be involved with. It is working in helping the people with disabilities. I do love working with this agency. It is a gold opportunity for me to help the people with disability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But another scenario opened in front of mine. Another gold opportunity is available for me. Working with the United Nation! This is an awesome opportunity I ever met. Holding the position as a project manager at Handicap International, firstly made me think twice in accepting the offer from UNDP [United Nation Development Program]. But than, suggestion from colleagues, friends and people I love, made me left the position I hold before. I left the Project Manager position at Handicap International and move into United Nation Development Project.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks again my Lord, Allah the Almighty, for the gold opportunity offered for me. I do love this humanitarian work.
Being a humanitarian worker is the best work I ever met. I do love this kind of job. But this is not mean that I will do this job forever. As human being, I also need to prepare my retired stage of my life. I won’t hope to be the humanitarian worker all the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That’s why, I am trying to also provide the way to have passive income. The income that will support my life when I was retired from this humanitarian work.
I do hope to be a Working At Home Mom, one day. And I am preparing it now. Hope this wish will come true. Amien.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, that’s all about me. Welcome to my page, and it is nice to have your visit and glad to know you my lovely readers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Best Regards,</div>

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Overview </span><br />
A woman of any age can become less interested in sex or have a decreased sex drive. This condition is called sexual dysfunction. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What is going on in the body? </span><br />
<br />
In 1999, a national survey of people between the ages of 18 and 59 showed that sexual dysfunction was common among 43% of women and 31% of men. Women and men with poor physical and mental health are more likely to have a decreased sex drive. Someone who has had problems in sexual relationships is also more likely to have this condition.<br />
Moreover, sexual dysfunction is closely linked with overall well-being because the female sexual response is more complicated than the male response. It is influenced to a greater degree by psychological and cultural factors. A woman's sex drive is guided by a complex system of signals between the brain, the ovaries, and other reproductive sexual organs. A healthy brain, more than a healthy body, dictates a woman's desire for sex. Any disruption in this complex interaction may cause a woman to be less interested in sex. <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><br />
There are many different types of sexual dysfunction, including:<br />
<span id="fullpost">
• a lack of interest in sex, known as decreased libido or LSI (lack of sexual interest)<br />
• the inability to attain or maintain adequate vaginal lubrication and swelling response. This is called female sexual arousal disorder.<br />
• painful intercourse, known as dyspareunia <br />
• painful, involuntary contractions of the vaginal muscles, known as vaginismus <br />
• a delay or absence of orgasm<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">A woman with a decreased libido may: </span><br />
• enjoy sex less than she used to<br />
• avoid having sex<br />
• have fewer erotic dreams<br />
• have fewer sexual fantasies<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What are the causes and risks of the condition? </span><br />
<br />
Sexual dysfunction in women rarely has a single cause. The factors that may cause this condition include both physical and psychological causes. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What can be done to prevent the condition? </span><br />
<br />
Since sexual dysfunction in women is often linked to depression or underlying diseases, it may help to see a healthcare professional before it becomes a serious problem. Many of the underlying causes of sexual dysfunction are not preventable, but early treatment may minimize the woman's problems. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How is the condition diagnosed? </span><br />
<br />
A healthcare professional will ask the woman about her medical and social history. Depending on the medical history, the following may be performed: physical exampelvic exam screening tests for depression complete blood count (CBC) urinalysis a blood test to measure follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) a blood test to measure luteinizing hormone (LH) serum estradiol testserum testosterone levelscultures of the vaginal discharge<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What are the long-term effects of the condition? </span><br />
<br />
The long-term effects of sexual dysfunction may be poor interpersonal relationships, marital discord, separation, and divorce. Poor self-esteem and a sense of failure may lead to chronic depression and anxiety.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What are the risks to others? </span><br />
<br />
Sexual dysfunction poses no risk to others. It may, however, cause a partner mental stress or lower self-esteem if he does not understand the underlying cause of his partner's sexual dysfunction<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What are the treatments for the condition? </span><br />
<br />
Treatment depends on the cause. It may include: <br />
• antidepressants<br />
• treatment for diabetes <br />
• hormone replacement therapy <br />
• androgen therapy<br />
• sildenafil (i.e., Viagra), a medicine to relax muscles and increase blood flow, particularly to the genital organs<br />
• herbal remedies <br />
• psychotherapy <br />
• marriage counseling<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What are the side effects of the treatments? </span><br />
<br />
Side effects depend on the therapy used. They may include: excessive hair, acne, greasy skin, weight gain, and elevated cholesterol in women using androgen therapyvaginal bleeding, breast tenderness, weight gain, abdominal bloating, and headaches in women using hormone replacement therapy diarrhea, sleep disorders, headaches, irritability, and sexual dysfunction in women using antidepressants<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What happens after treatment for the condition? <br />
</span><br />
A woman's sex drive is a complex matter. It cannot be cured by taking a pill or talking about the problem. There are subtle stressors in a woman's life that may make her less interested in sex. These stressors are warning signs that she may be feeling emotional and psychological turmoil. This turmoil should be addressed in order to prevent future physical problems.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How is the condition monitored? <br />
</span><br />
Teaching a woman to look for decreased sexual function, stress, and health problems is an important part of treating sexual dysfunction. A woman should report any new or worsening symptoms to her healthcare professional.<br />

Sometimes we are not aware how important to know a simple tips until we need the tips.<br />
This is what happened to me this morning while I need to do a screenshot of a video of village profile. Lots of pictures that I have to insert into my report regarding to this village profile. But when paste the hot into my image editor I get everything on my screen except the video area, which is <span style="font-weight: bold;">black & blank</span>!!! Oh My……, I feel like I' m trying to take a photograph of <span style="font-weight: bold;">CountDracula</span>.WMV ! <br />
Then, the question of course <span style="font-weight: bold;">“How to take a successful screen shot of a video?” </span><br />
While then I found lots of answers by the links suggested by Google. Thanks Google!! Here are the tips:<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<span id="fullpost">The simplest way to capture a screenshot of whatever appears on your computer screen is to press the ‘Print Screen‘ key and then pasting the clipboard content into any image application like say, ‘Paint‘. This works well most of time, till you try to capture a still of a video playing in Windows Media Player. Alas, you only get a black screen where the video is supposed to be.<br />
So, how do we do it? <br />
The easiest solution is to use a player that supports capture, like the <span style="font-weight: bold;">VLC Media Player</span>. When you are playing a video in VLC player, just click <span style="font-weight: bold;">Video > Capture to capture a video frame.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">But suppose you are forced to work with Windows Media Player</span>, you can still manage to capture by modifying the settings. In Windows Media Player, go to:<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Tools>Options>Performance>Advanced </span>and <span style="font-weight: bold;">uncheck<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></span> the <span style="font-weight: bold;">‘Use Overlays‘</span> option and press <span style="font-weight: bold;">ok.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAtIz6hI-0S_PcPFnIGbZqhDnI9YL_C9SjP8aXWsFWOW0Qbzw3W7AiR371NTX-9PCl4yyVh9oeqUA4f7L0Vf7lFLSgi-ZsAYxJ_xapvCxX1E0ZOoYEvF-3J6O_34d_tCx1wsellKow3ELd/s1600-h/wmp_capture.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374110622645102290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAtIz6hI-0S_PcPFnIGbZqhDnI9YL_C9SjP8aXWsFWOW0Qbzw3W7AiR371NTX-9PCl4yyVh9oeqUA4f7L0Vf7lFLSgi-ZsAYxJ_xapvCxX1E0ZOoYEvF-3J6O_34d_tCx1wsellKow3ELd/s400/wmp_capture.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 294px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 379px;" /></a><br />
<br />
The above method should work with other video players too, if you can find out how to disable overlays. Disabling overlays reduces the image quality. So, do remember to enable it once you have captured your screen.<br />

Dear Visitors,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This article is to response a request from my best friend who will enter her ‘new life’. She is asking me if I could provide her some information regarding to ‘marriage and sex’. So, after browsing and searching into the virtual world, here is the article. To my best friend Mianty, hopefully this posting could meet your requirement, :-)Enjoy it dear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you're married or thinking about getting married, at some point or another you've wondered what better sex in marriage would be like or how sex in marriage could be improved. </div>
<span id="fullpost"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keeping the sexual spark alive in a marriage or in a long-term relationship is easier said than done. However, couples who take time to cultivate and maintain healthy and satisfying sexual relations tend to be more connected with each other and do not suffer from depression, heart problems and other health maladies, experts say.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The daily routines of life — whether careers, children or financial responsibilities — challenge couples to keep alive that flame that initially brought them together. From a practical standpoint, there's less time for sex and intimacy as relationships develop and individual partners take on more responsibilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Furthermore, aging brings on a host of physical conditions that can affect life in the bedroom. These include sexual dysfunction, cardiovascular conditions, arthritis and rheumatism, and a host of other problems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whatever the reasons for brewing trouble in the bedroom — whether emotional or physical in nature — the good news is that many such problems are easily treated. Moreover, troubles in a couple's sexual relationship are often signs of other problems, and can serve as a warning sign for still bigger troubles ahead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"A good sex life is an important part of an individual's overall health," says Mark Schoen, Ph.D., director of sex education for the Sinclair Intimacy Institute. "People who have a good sex life feel better [mentally and physically]."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Sex can be a wonderful cementer or a terrible wedge" for relationships, says Dr. Linda Banner, Ph.D., a licensed sex therapist specializing in marriage and relationship counseling and a researcher associated with Stanford University Medical School.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Adults Have Sex 61 Times a Year</div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adults, on average, have sex about 61 times per year, or slightly more than once a week, according to University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center. Marital status and age are key influences in sexual activity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sexual activity is 25 percent to 300 percent greater for married couples versus the non-married, depending on age. The 1998 University of Chicago report that compiled available sex research also concluded that intercourse is more frequent among couples in happier marriages.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As people age, they tend to have sex less, regardless of whether they are in marriages or not. Married couples between ages 18 and 29 have sexual relations an average of nearly 112 times per year. That rate steadily decreases as people age, so that married couples aged 70 and older have sex 16 times a year on average.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But that fact shouldn't be misconstrued as meaning that older people are less satisfied with their sex life. An AARP survey released last year showed that most mid-life and older adults surveyed were either extremely satisfied or somewhat satisfied with their sex life, and felt it was an important quality-of-life fact Renowned sex researcher John McKinley, Ph.D., director of the New England Research Institutes in Watertown, Mass., says as people age, particularly men, their expectations about sex aren't as high.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Overcoming Emotional Barriers</div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The worst thing that can happen to a relationship is that a sex life becomes routine and boredom sets in," Schoen says. But in today's fast-paced life, filled with dueling responsibilities, a sub-par or absent sex life is a common problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When physical problems are not the root cause of a diminished sex life, many remedies exist to rekindle the flame of passion. Much of the fix is grounded in communication and reprioritizing one's life to make time for love and sex, says Jan Sinatra, a Manchester, Conn., psychotherapist and co-author of "Heart Sense for Women."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sinatra usually asks couples initially coming to her about their love life how they communicate. "It's a barometer of the relationship."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes couples need to focus on addressing unresolved conflicts between them, while other spouses just need to remember to have fun when the weight of life's responsibilities drags them and their sex life down. Still others may just need to build time into their schedules to be together and let nature takes its course. Simply setting aside date nights can jump-start one's love life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Through communication—both verbal and non-verbal — and listening, couples come to understand what ignites that spark in the other partner. That might be cuddling, leaving love notes for your partner to find, meeting at a motel for a tryst, trying out new sex techniques, introducing a vibrator or dozens of other potential turn-ons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sex therapist Banner conducted a research study that included 65 couples who were having sexual problems because either one or both partners were diagnosed with sexual dysfunction or arousal problems. The average length of time these couples had been together was 24 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The study examined what it would take for these couples to resume normal sexual relations. For 65 percent of the couples, the introduction of educational sex videos was all that was needed to jump-start stagnant sex lives, Banner discovered.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Overcoming Physical Barriers</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sexual dysfunction, however, is not necessarily something that is in one's head, and is a major reason sexual relationships suffer. Erectile dysfunction among men aged 65 and older is usually related to physical problems, says Dr. Michael Werner, a New York urologist, whereas most cases of erectile dysfunction for men under 65 are more psychological. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's not to say there isn't a mental aspect to erectile dysfunction in older men. As with any medical condition, psychological issues also come into play. For men, much of their self-esteem emanates from how they feel sexually. Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects 25 percent of men either completely or moderately by age 40, McKinlay says. By age 70, that increases to one out of two men.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More important, research in the last three to five years shows that impotence or sexual dysfunction is largely a physical problem, not an emotional problem. "Nearly everything we assumed in the last 95 years was totally wrong," says McKinlay. "E.D. is a circulatory problem, it's part of vascular disease…E.D. is an early warning sign of a heart attack."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition to cardiovascular conditions, depression, anxiety and prostate disease can also be factors in sexual dysfunction or sexual problems. And the bad news is that medications for these conditions negatively affect sexual functioning, creating a vicious cycle and making it harder to jump-start one's sex life, and possibly affecting a couple's overall relationship.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Viagra has replaced traditionally invasive treatments for men's sexual dysfunction, and McKinlay says new medications more effective than Viagra will soon hit the market. These will be easier to take, quicker acting and will not pose a cardiovascular threat as Viagra has shown to, he says.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, what works even better than Viagra for many men with erectile dysfunction, McKinlay says, is increasing one's physical activity, kicking the smoking habit, and watching one's weight and cholesterol. As erectile dysfunction is related to cardiovascular disease, such changes can also reduce the risk of the biggest killer of men in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If that doesn't do it, then McKinlay suggests men work with their doctors to change medications before trying medication specifically for erectile dysfunction. As a last resort, a number of invasive treatments are available.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, older women experience reduced vaginal lubrication and reduced blood flow to sex organs, and the intensity of muscle spasms during an orgasm are diminished. These and other issues can be addressed through estrogen replacement therapy and something as simple as using lubricants.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although some recommend and swear by such alternative therapies as ginkgo biloba or an amino acid called L-arginine for libido and erection problems, McKinlay says there's no scientific data that shows hormone supplements, herbs or dietary supplements work to address erectile dysfunction. However, that's not to say alternative medicine won't work, he adds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

Sex is never really sex without the big “O”. No matter how you look at it, it you did not went over and beyond, you might as well stay at the bottom and forget climbing up.<br />
<br />
Sex is like climbing a big mountain where there is nowhere else to go but the top. Other than the top, everything else is just a way or a path to getting there. And in that big mountain of intense pleasure, the top is the Big “O”, the orgasm.<br />
<br />
<span id="fullpost">When your having difficulty achieving this, you are handicapped in this particular mountain. It is called Orgasm Difficulty and it is the inability for you to achieve the peak of climax or the highest point of sexual excitement in a sexual activity. Its like an unending roll down the hill or simply rolling in an endless plain. Nothing too exciting there. But then again, that’s not a problem if it cannot be solved.</span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
There are many factors to orgasm difficulty which can be attributed to physical or psychological causes. For example, a woman's incapability to achieve orgasm may be just a matter of deluding oneself. This is one of the most prevalent reasons for this problem, the “mind over matter” thing. This is usually caused by a preoccupation of the orgasmic response or some insecurity o some sort. Sometimes, looking too much at our goal, the top, makes us trip at the path. Likewise, too much concentration on getting orgasm is self-defeating. This will only lead to frustration as high levels of anxiety are created and anxiety itself interferes with sex. Therefore, stimulation, arousal, and sexual play must be freely done without having to pin too much energy on an end-goal in mind.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, Orgasm Difficulty can also be attributed to something physical. In the United States alone, there is an estimated number of between 40 - 50 million women who are reportedly experiencing sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction in a woman refers to a lowered sexual libido as well as the inability to have an orgasm. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (1999), there is an estimated 43% of women who suffer from female sexual dysfunction.<br />
<br />
A cause to this dysfunction might be done by damage to the nerves of the sexual organs. When there are already damages in these sensitive areas, it is very easy to have orgasmic difficulty. By then, there is lack of nervous response which lower the stimuli that is required to achieve the sought after orgasm. This nervous damage can be the result of a careless intercourse without sufficient lubrication. Careless use of sex toys like high intensity vibrators can also cause damage to these sensitive nerves.<br />
<br />
Lastly, hormones can also be directly responsible for a decrease in female sex drive and libido. The hormonal imbalance can result in a difficulty for arousal as well as a lack of sexual urge. This diminished libido is merely a prelude to a difficulty in becoming aroused and ultimately climaxing.<br />
Speaking of libido, an increased arousal will give you better chances of getting an orgasm. To get that libido, you might want to steer clear from alcohol. Taken as a "social lubricant," people drink for a lot of reasons, sometime to feel sexy, reduce anxiety, gain self-confidence, and just start the ball rolling toward home court. However, alcohol is actually a depressant, which might only give you a harder time to get it on. As the porter in the famous Shakespeare's Macbeth had observed, alcohol merely "provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance."<br />

Hey, It is really the early morning here.Today I come to you with a very nice topic to post. I am quite sure that all of us will agree that discussing about sex and its healthy sexual tips are very interesting. So, without means to postphone, lets start the article.<br />
<br />
It is always smart to talk about sex with your partner, a peer educator or a healthcare professional before you make the decision to have sex. While sexual intercourse always involves some risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease, there are definitely ways of making your sexual experiences safer. Here are 10 simple things you can do, say and think about now before you have sex:<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
1. Talk smart sex first. Have smart sex later. STIs and unintended pregnancies affect both partners, not just one person. If you feel uncomfortable discussing sex and birth control with your partner, then you shouldn't be having sex. Be straightforward and talk about sex beforehand so both partners know what to expect. It's easier to be rational and reasonable before you're in the "heat of the moment."<br />
<span id="fullpost">
<br />
2. Don't feel pressured to have sex. Or have sex out of fear - fear of hurting someone's feelings by saying no or fear of being the "only one" who isn't doing it. Virtually everyone wants to fit in with his or her friends, but you should never compromise your values to be "part of the crowd." If you don't want to have sex, be honest, discuss the reasons behind your decision with your partner and stay true to you.<br />
<br />
3. Don't abuse alcohol/use drugs if you think things could get physical. Drug use or alcohol abuse interferes with decision-making, which can lead to date rape, forgetting to use contraceptives or contracting an STI. The lowering of inhibitions that often accompanies alcohol use might make you think you'll enjoy sex more, but in fact, for a variety of biochemical reasons, too much alcohol actually makes sex less enjoyable for both men and women.<br />
<br />
4. Two are better than one. To help prevent both pregnancy and STIs, you should correctly and consistently use a birth control method like the Pill, contraceptive injection or diaphragm (for pregnancy prevention) and a condom (to prevent STIs). Condom use is essential, especially in relationships that are not monogamous. If your partner says no to contraceptives that may prevent STIs, like condoms, it's probably time to rethink your relationship. Nothing is worth the potential lifetime consequences of a few minutes of unprotected fun.<br />
<br />
5. Use the buddy system. If you go to a party or a bar, go with friends and keep an eye out for each other. Agree that you won't leave with another person without telling someone. Sometimes a friend's "second opinion" could help prevent you from making decisions that you might regret later.<br />
<br />
6. Remember that "no" means NO and passed out doesn't mean YES. Being drunk isn't a defense for committing sexual assault. If you are too drunk to understand a person trying to say no; if you are too drunk to listen and respect a person saying no; or if you have sex with somebody who is passed out or incapable of giving consent, it can be considered rape. Click here to read about how men and women can avoid the consequences of date rape.<br />
<br />
7. Respect everyone's right to make his/her own personal decision - including yourself. There is no imaginary "deadline," no ideal age, no perfect point in a relationship where sex has to happen. If your partner tells you that he or she is not ready to have sex, respect his/her decision, be supportive and discuss the reasons behind it. It is everyone's ultimate right to decide when and how they have sex - be it the first time or the tenth time.<br />
<br />
8. Be prepared for a sex emergency. Consider carrying two condoms with you just in case one breaks or tears while it's being put on. Both men and women are equally responsible for preventing STIs, using contraceptives and both should carry condoms. Sometimes things go wrong even when you try to do everything right. Women should also know about emergency contraception or EC. Taken within 72 hours of intercourse, EC may prevent pregnancy. Click here for more information about EC.<br />
<br />
9. The best protection doesn't mean less affection. Abstinence is actually the most effective way to protect against STIs and prevent pregnancy. But practicing abstinence doesn't mean you can't have an intimate physical relationship with someone - it just means you don't have vaginal or anal intercourse. There are many other ways to be intimate and not have intercourse - just be aware that alternatives, like oral sex, carry their own risks. Click here to read more about practicing abstinence and risks of oral sex.<br />
<br />
10. Make sexual health a priority. Whether you are having sex or not, both men and women need to have regular check-ups to make sure they are sexually healthy. Women should have annual gynecological exams.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Continuing the <a href="http://my-businesscorner.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-write-motivationcover-letter.html" target="_blank">how to write a cover letter</a> article, now I come with the <span style="font-weight: bold;">"How to Write a CV"</span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <span style="font-weight: bold;">CV</span> (<span style="font-weight: bold;">resume</span>, in American English) is meant to introduce you and your background to somebody who does not know you and barely has time to get to know you. It should present you in the best possible light, in a concise and well-structured manner. There are plenty of resume-writing guides out there, that can teach you to the smallest details how to write one. Their regular problem is that they do not agree with each other when it comes to details. This is why we have put here together a number of generally agreed guide-lines, plus some specific details that could help EE students. A regular CV for business purposes should definitely not go over one A4 page. If you intend to use it for academic purposes and not for a job, the CV can pass that limit, on the condition that you use the extra space to describe academic activities, like conferences, publications list, etc. A well-written CV shows first what is most important, but contains all relevant information. To this goal, we advise you to adapt it to your target (specific type of job or scholarship). Cut information from your CV only as a solution of last resort, but pay attention to the order in which you present it in your CV. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Print the CV on plain-white A4 paper, save some of the same type for the cover letter - did we say that you should never, but never! send a CV without a cover letter - and find matching A4 envelopes. If the announcement does not say anything about a cover letter, you still should send one. It introduces your CV to the reader, attracts attention to certain parts of it that you want to bring to light, or mentions aspects that for some reason could not be listed in your CV.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span id="fullpost"><div style="text-align: justify;">
To make it look neat, we suggest you use one of the Word pre-made formats, unless you are a computer-savvy and feel confident that you can produce an even better-structured and easier-to-read format. You will be able to introduce you own headers in that format; below we have a word of advice for those most-often met in a CV.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Personal details - here you should include your birth date, contact address, email, telephone number and nationality. In case you have both a permanent and study address, include both, with the dates when you can be contacted at each of them. Personal details can be written with smaller fonts than the rest of your CV, if you want to save space. They do not have to jump in the reader’s attention - you will never convince somebody to hire you because you have a nice email alias! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If your CV managed to awaken the reader's interest, he or she will look after contact details - it is important that they be there, but not that they are the first thing somebody reads in your CV. You should write your name with a bigger font than the rest of the text, so that the reader knows easily whose CV is he or she reading. If you need to save space, you can delete the Curriculum Vitae line on the top of your CV. After all, if you have done a good job writing it, it should be obvious that piece of paper is a CV, no need to spell it out loud. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Objective - this is a concise statement of what you actually want to do. It's not bad if it matches the thing you are applying for. Don't restrict it too much "to get this scholarship", but rather "to develop a career in... " the thing that you're going to study if you get the scholarship. If you apply for a job, you can be even more specific - " to obtain a position in... , where I can use my skills in…". You can use a few lines to describes that specifically, but keep in mind that you should show what you can do for the company more than what the company can do for you. Writing a good objective can be tough; take some time to think about what exactly are you going to write there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you, the visitor of our site, are who we think we are - a young student, or a person who has just graduated, you should start your CV with your education. Very probably, at this age it is your most important asset. We suggest you use the reverse chronological order, since it is more important what master’s degree you have rather than that, very probably, you went to high school in your native town. No matter for which order you decide - chronological or reverse - you should keep it the same throughout the rest of your CV. Try to give an exact account of your accomplishments in school: grades (do not forget to write the scale if it may differ from the one the reader of your CV is used to), standing in class (in percent), title of your dissertation, expected graduation date if you think this is an important aspect. There is no need to write all of the above, but only those that put you in the best light. Are you not in the best 20% of your class? Better not to mention ranking then, maybe you still have good grades, or your school is a renowned one. In any case, do not make your results better than in reality - you cannot know how this information may be checked and the whole application will lose credibility. Cheating is a very serious offense in Western schools.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Awards received - you should introduce this header right after the education, in order to outline all the scholarly or otherwise distinctions you have received. Another solution is to include these awards in the education section, but this might make the lecture difficult - the reader wants to get from that section an impression about the schools you went to and the overall results, not about every distinction you were awarded. Still, these are important! Therefore, here is the place to mention them - scholarships, stages abroad you had to compete for, prizes in contests, any kind of distinction. Here, same as everywhere in your CV, write a detailed account of what happened: do not just mention the year and "Prize in Physics", but rather give the exact date (month), place, name and organiser of the competition. For a scholarship abroad, write the time frame, name of the University, Department, the subject of classes there - e.g. managerial economics - name of the award-giving institution, if different from that of the host-university. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Practical experience - here you should include internships as well. Don't feel ashamed with what you did, don't try to diminish your accomplishments! Nobody really expects you to have started a million dollar business if you're still a student - even better if you did, though! Accountability is an important criterion for what you write in this section. The account should show what you improved, where, by how much, what your responsibilities were. The idea is that when you apply for a job you have to show growth-potential. That is, that you proved some kind of progress from one job to another and that especially at the last one you were so good, you could obviously do something that involves more responsibility - like the job you are applying for now. The overall result should portray you as a leader, a person with initiative and creativity - don't forget you have to convince the reader of your CV that you are the best pick for that job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Extracurricular activities - if you're writing a professional, and not an academic CV, this is the place to mention conferences or any other activities outside the school that for some reason did not fit in the CV so far. A good section here can help a lot towards that goal of portraying you as a leader, a person with initiative, not just a nerd with good grades.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Languages - list here all the languages you speak, with a one-word description of your knowledge of that language. We suggest the following scale: conversational, intermediate, advanced, and fluent. List any certificates and/or results like TOEFL scores, with date.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Computer skills - write everything you know, including Internet browsers and text editing skills. There is no absolute need to know C++ unless you wanna be a programmer or something. List certificates and specialty studies as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hobbies - list them if space is left on the page. They look fine in a CV, showing you are not a no-life workaholic, but a normal person. There is no need to have a 20,000 pieces stamp collection, you can mention reading or mountain tracking as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can introduce other headers that suit your needs. Some CV's, for example, have a summary heading, that brings in front what the author considers to be the most important stuff in his/her CV. A references section, where you can list with contact details persons ready to recommend you can be added as well. If it misses, the recruiters will assume they are available on request.</div>

Even this words is really new to my ears since i join this new office. One of the team in this office is dealing with a club called CP (cerabral palsy) club. Curious on how and what it is, I try to search the issue of it and here is the article. Hopefully it will be able to enrich our knowledge and understanding about the CEREBRAL PALSY.<br />
Well Mates, lets start.... :-)<br />
<br />
<span id="fullpost"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Cerebral palsy (CP)</span> is a disorder that affects muscle tone, movement, and motor skills (the ability to move in a coordinated and purposeful way). <br />
Cerebral palsy can also lead to other health issues, including vision, hearing, and speech problems, and learning disabilities.<br />
CP is usually caused by brain damage that occurs before or during a child's birth, or during the first 3 to 5 years of a child's life. There is no cure for CP, but treatment, therapy, special equipment, and, in some cases, surgery can help a child who is living with the condition.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">About Cerebral Palsy</span><br />
<br />
Cerebral palsy is one of the most common congenital (existing before birth or at birth) disorders of childhood. About 500,000 children and adults of all ages in the United States have the condition.<br />
<br />
The three types of CP are:<br />
<br />
1. spastic cerebral palsy — causes stiffness and movement difficulties<br />
2. athetoid cerebral palsy — leads to involuntary and uncontrolled movements<br />
3. ataxic cerebral palsy — causes a disturbed sense of balance and depth perception<br />
<br />
Cerebral palsy affects muscle control and coordination, so even simple movements — like standing still — are difficult. Other vital functions that also involve motor skills and muscles — such as breathing, bladder and bowel control, eating, and learning — may also be affected when a child has CP. Cerebral palsy does not get worse over time.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Causes of Cerebral Palsy</span><br />
<br />
The exact causes of most cases of CP are unknown, but many are the result of problems during pregnancy in which the brain is either damaged or doesn't develop normally. This can be due to infections, maternal health problems, or something else that interferes with normal brain development. Problems during labor and delivery can cause CP in some cases.<br />
<br />
Premature babies — particularly those who weigh less than 3.3 pounds (1,510 grams) — have a higher risk of CP than babies that are carried full-term, as are other low birth weight babies and multiple births, such as twins and triplets.<br />
<br />
Brain damage in infancy or early childhood can also lead to CP. A baby or toddler might suffer this damage because of lead poisoning, bacterial meningitis, malnutrition, being shaken as an infant (shaken baby syndrome), or being in a car accident while not properly restrained.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Diagnosing Cerebral Palsy</span><br />
<br />
CP may be diagnosed very early in an infant known to be at risk for developing the condition because of premature birth or other health problems. Doctors, such as pediatricians and developmental and neurological specialists, usually follow these kids closely from birth so that they can identify and address any developmental delays or problems with muscle function that might indicate CP.<br />
<br />
In a baby carried to term with no other obvious risk factors for CP, it may be difficult to diagnose the disorder in the first year of life. Often doctors aren't able to diagnose CP until they see a delay in normal developmental milestones (such as reaching for toys by 4 months or sitting up by 7 months), which can be a sign of CP.<br />
<br />
Abnormal muscle tone, poorly coordinated movements, and the persistence of infant reflexes beyond the age at which they are expected to disappear also can be signs. If these developmental milestones are only mildly delayed, the diagnosis of CP may not be made until the child is a toddler.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Preventing Cerebral Palsy</span><br />
<br />
In many cases the causes of CP are unknown, so there's no way to prevent it. But if you're having a baby, you can take steps to ensure a healthy pregnancy and carry the baby to term, thus lowering the risk that your baby will have CP.<br />
<br />
Before becoming pregnant, it's important to maintain a healthy diet and make sure that any medical problems are managed properly. As soon as you know you're pregnant, proper prenatal medical care is vital. If you are taking any medications, review these with your doctor and clarify if there are any side effects that can cause birth defects.<br />
<br />
Controlling diabetes, anemia, hypertension, seizures, and nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy can help prevent some premature births and, as a result, some cases of cerebral palsy.<br />
<br />
Once your baby is born you can lower the risk of brain damage, which could lead to CP. Never shake an infant, as this can lead to shaken baby syndrome and brain damage. If you're riding in a car, make sure your baby is properly strapped into an infant car seat that's correctly installed — if an accident occurs, the baby will be as protected as possible.<br />
<br />
Be aware of lead exposure in your house, as lead poisoning can lead to brain damage. Remember to have your child get his or her immunizations on time — these shots protect against serious infections, some of which can cause brain damage resulting in CP.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">How Cerebral Palsy Affects Development<br />
</span><br />
Kids with CP have varying degrees of physical disability. Some have only mild impairment, while others are severely affected.<br />
<br />
Associated medical problems may include visual impairment or blindness, hearing loss, food aspiration (the sucking of food or fluid into the lungs), gastroesophageal reflux (spitting up), speech problems, drooling, tooth decay, sleep disorders, osteoporosis (weak, brittle bones), and behavior problems.<br />
<br />
Seizures, speech and communication problems, and mental retardation are also common among kids with the severe form of CP. Many have problems that may require ongoing therapy and devices such as braces or wheelchairs.<br />
Treatment of Cerebral Palsy<br />
<br />
Currently there's no cure for cerebral palsy, but a variety of resources and therapies can provide help and improve the quality of life for kids with CP.<br />
<br />
Different kinds of therapy can help them achieve maximum potential in growth and development. As soon as CP is diagnosed, a child can begin therapy for movement, learning, speech, hearing, and social and emotional development.<br />
<br />
In addition, medication, surgery, or braces can help improve muscle function. Surgery can help repair dislocated hips and scoliosis (curvature of the spine), which are common problems associated with CP. Severe muscle spasticity can sometimes be helped with medication taken by mouth or administered via a pump (the baclofen pump) implanted under the skin.<br />
<br />
A team of professionals will work with you to meet your child's medical needs. That team may include therapists, psychologists, educators, nurses, and social workers.<br />
<br />
Many resources are available to help and support you in caring for your child. Talk to your doctor about finding those in your area.<br />

Hope that u are always in an excellent health and ready for the activities.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey, we are at the end of the working days. Its Friday mates!! Wow, thats why I feel so happy, hahaha...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lots of us wonder and curious how to write a good motivation letter, or cover letter where we all aware that this letter play an important point when we applying a job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The Cover Letter (CL)</span> is the document that accompanies your CV when you are applying for a job. For academic purposes, the document used is typically called statement of purpose, and is laid out after somewhat different rules. The CL is short (200-250 words), with a quite rigid structure and has the layout of a letter. Its goal is to introduce the CV, to bring to attention aspects of your activity that can help your application and are not listed or not presented in the proper light in the CV. In short, its goal is to answer the recruiter's question: <span style="font-style: italic;">"Why should I hire this person?".<br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span id="fullpost">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="fullpost"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Layout.</span></span></div>
<span id="fullpost">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The layout is that of a formal business letter: your address and contact details come under your name, in the upper right corner of the page. Underneath, aligned left, write the name, function, organisation and address of the person you are writing to. It is a lot better to know the name of the person who is going to read your letter. You should address the letter directly to him or her. In the case you do not know the name, an email, a little digging in the net or a phone call should help you get that name, in case it is not mentioned in the official announcement. Under the receiver's address, but aligned right, write the date of the day when you are writing the letter. You should spell the name of the month and use four digits for the year. You can put in front of the date the location, like Banda Aceh, 24th July 2009.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you do know the name of the addressee, start with Dear Mr (Mister), Ms (Miss), Mrs (Mistress), Dr (Doctor), without the full stop that you might expect to follow the abbreviation, and the surname of the addressee, followed by comma (Dear Dr Smith,). In this case, you should end the letter with the salutation Yours sincerely. If you do not know the name, start with Dear Sirs, or Dear Sir or Madam and close with Yours faithfully. In American business correspondence, Yours truly is acceptable in both cases. Do not start the body of the mail with a capital letter, since it follows a comma.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Structure.</div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ideally, a cover letter has no more than four paragraphs. The goal of the first is to specify what you are applying for and how did you find out about that opportunity. The last one outlines your availability for an interview, suggesting in this way a concrete follow-up for your application.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second paragraph should list your skills and qualifications that make you the right person for the position you are applying for. Read carefully the announcement, identify the requirements and see how your skills match those required. Do not simply state you have them, prove it. Ideally, you should start from your experience and show how you have developed those qualifications by doing what you have been doing/learning. Same as in the case of your CV, the result should portrait you as an independent, creative person that can take initiative and deal with responsibilities, apart from the specific skills needed for the job. In short, the second paragraph should show why you are good for the job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The third should point out why you want it. You should outline your interest for the skills you are going to learn if you get the job. The impression left should be that you can make a genuine contribution to the company's operations, while simultaneously deriving satisfaction from your work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the fourth paragraph leave a blank space, same as you should do in the beginning, after the salutation (Dear). Write the proper closing, as described above and your name. Do not forget to leave a blank space between the closing and your name and to sign the letter in that space.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Enclosure.</div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is customary for formal letters to mention whether you have enclosed any documents accompanying the letter. Simply mention enclosure, or write curriculum vitae under the heading enclosure at the end of the letter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Print the letter on A4 white paper same as that on which your CV was printed, and put both documents in an A4 envelope of matching color. If you are emailing it request a notification that your documents have been received. Wait at least two weeks since the day you sent your application or after the deadline before writing again in the case you did not get any answer.</div>
