To run a successful gun shop the prospective owner should carry out a great deal of research prior to anything else. It does of course help if they have an interest in guns and the related sporting activities that surround the industry. By not doing thorough research they could well miss out on making as much of their business as they could.

Having a full and in-depth knowledge of the products that are available is essential. Even if they are not able to have stock of every range it would be in their best interests to open up some type of dialogue with suppliers so that they can then get supplies of whatever their customers will want rather than just stick to the products they can stock in their shop.

You will also need to consider the sales and marketing campaigns you will run and as part of that you may like to implement some type of incentive scheme to customers. Either by giving discounts on future purchases should they introduce a new client or by a points system that can be collected and used against further purchases. Having clear and exact Health and Safety Regulations posted in the shop as well as any legal gun regulations clearly visible will aid customers and also raise your status as a responsible vendor.

A well thought out advertising campaign will need to be in place. By inserting advertisements in trade press or shooting magazines will be targeted at the most appropriate audience to reach the maximum amount of prospective clients. Affiliations with shooting clubs will also increase your customers.

Having made the initial contacts with suppliers you will be able to help a much larger range of clients when you are able to obtain whatever products they are looking for over and above the stock you carry in the shop.

By making good connections with local shooting facilities where you will be able to direct your customers for correct training will also pay dividends. You sending customers to them and the shooting club in turn will send customers to you.

Gun shops can be a very successful business as long as they are run in a responsible and professional manner. The owner must be fully conversant with all aspects of the legal requirements both for himself and his customers. Don't forget to ask for advice from anyone you already know in the industry, you can always learn something from others with experience in the gun fraternity.

One of the UK's most popular gun shops is Sporting Targets Ltd with both an online and offline gun shop.

Introduction
With the economic downturn, many individuals are turning to universities to retool their skills and abilities to become more attractive to employers. With roughly 15 million people unemployed, people are looking for new job strategies. According to the U.S. Department of Education, approximately 90 million individuals participate in some form of adult education each year, including training and basic education offered outside of traditional higher education. Yet, non-traditional students make up the fastest population of those returning to school. In fact, 40% of American college students (almost 6 million people) are 25 years of age or older. This article examines practical and proven strategies to better assist working women in their transition to higher education.

Economic Plight
Economic troubles make career planning more difficult. Since November 2009, America has lost 7.2 million jobs, with the unemployment rate topping 10%. Companies have shed 11,000 workers from their payroll. State agencies have had to lay off or furlough workers. Millions of Americans are now waiting longer for food stamps, unemployment checks, and disability payments. Margaret Simms of the Urban Institute notes, "The length of the recession clearly has put a strain on the resources that states bring to bear." Therefore, our lives continue to unravel as things we depend on disintegrate before our eyes.

Today's women comprise more than half of the labor force. According to the U.S. Labor Bureau, mothers with older children (6 to 17 years of age) are more likely to participate in the labor force than mothers with younger children (under 6 years of age). Furthermore, unmarried mothers have higher participation rates than married mothers.

The Right Strategy
Working mothers need practical, proven methods if they are to make a successful transition to college life. Yet, many working women find various obstacles that prevent them from reaching their dreams. Noriko Iwanaga Chapman, a Japan native, is a working professional with over 16 years' experience in the automobile industry. As a young, single-parent Baby Boomer, Chapman understands the demands of caring for elderly parents and raising a young family.

Chapman was preparing to enter graduate school when he encountered a severe obstacle. Chapman notes, "In 2009, when being diagnosed with cancer, I was devastated by the life-threatening disease and unknown future. A year later, I have survived and gained my health back for a second chance of my life." Overcoming the health challenge, she was able to start graduate school at Lincoln Memorial University while balancing work and family life.

Her first book, Second Chance, fully utilizes Chapman's "can do" attitude to assist others in her community. Likewise, the right strategies can help encourage a working mother who is straddling the fence when considering returning to school. Below are some proven strategies for working mothers:

• Check out the latest college scholarship books at your library, such as
Peterson's Scholarship.
• Remove or limit negative people from influencing your personal decisions related to your goals.
• Research non-traditional programs, such as weekend formats and online degree programs that provide maximum flexibility. Check out John Bear's books, such as Bears Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning.
• Build a positive support group that can assist you with the demanding lifestyle of returning to school with children.
• Get a good grasp on how you will finance your education by talking with financial aid officers, applying for grants and scholarships, or borrowing the money from non-traditional sources, such as local community groups in your area.
• Join a group that shares your values and beliefs in order to build your network.
• Seek to find a mentor who has returned to school from the workforce.
• Write positive affirmations regularly to create a positive environment.
• Allow your children to share in the excitement of you returning to school.
• Be persistent and patient.

Conclusion
Many women recognize the need to retool their skills during this economic crisis, which threatens to dash the hopes of millions searching for the American Dream. With such a weak job growth outlook, many working adults are looking to sharpen their skills in order to be more competitive. Women comprise a large share of the labor force and an increasing proportion of those who are returning universities and colleges. Yet, the hectic lifestyles of most working mothers stop them from pursuing this career strategy. Going back to school can provide the mechanism to assist them in improving the quality of their lives. Therefore, taking the right steps in this transition is critical for working mothers so they can be successful.

If your biggest customer went bust owing you a substantial amount of money, would your business be able to survive? It will depend on how much you have come to depend on that one customer. A long firm fraudster will try to become your best customer as quickly as possible, seemingly ordering large amounts and may even not be too fussy about the price you are charging. It pays to be on the look-out for this type of customer.

Long firm frauds depend on the ability to buy goods on credit. A fraudster will set up a company that looks legitimate. It will be well documented on Companies House, be registered for VAT and may even be able to provide seemingly bone fide business references. It will buy goods from you, paying up front at first. Eventually you will give it credit, extending the credit limit as it appears to be becoming an increasingly valuable customer. At some point it will extend its credit even further, perhaps missing a large payment while making a big order. Many businesses are blinded by what seems to be a rapidly developing and profitable trading relationship. So they ignore the risk and accept the order.

It is at this point that the long firm fraudster stops trading his company, owing you as much money as he possibly could and also to many other different businesses. The fraudster declares insolvency and in many cases finds a friendly insolvency practitioner to close the company down so that he can walk away safely. The risk of being investigated and brought to book by the authorities is low given the scarce public sector funding resources available these days.

Such a fraudulently established business will need to buy the sort of goods it can dispose of readily; after all it is not a real business and will not be seeking to make a profit in the usual way. It makes its profit by buying good quality merchandise from its victim companies and disposing of them very cheaply, often in "Pound Shops" or market stalls.

Long firm frauds take fraudulent trading to the extreme, specifically establishing a business for the sole purpose of building up as much credit as possible before folding and owing substantial sums. Prime quality goods can easily be sold off at rock bottom prices.

There are two main messages to traders. The first is to make sure that you have adequate credit control policies in place - it is much harder now for a fraudster to set up a bogus company that will survive a few simple checks you can make on Companies House. Take references and follow these up. Do not allow a company to exceed its credit limit no matter how good a customer it seems to be.

The second message is if you do find a customer goes bust owing you money, check to see if there are many others in the same boat and if there is a pattern indicating that you have suffered a fraud. If so, band together with the other disadvantaged creditors and insist that the insolvency practitioner conducts a fraud investigation properly. If not, remove them and appoint your own representative and consider jointly funding a fraud investigation along with all the other victims to recover your assets.

You have arrived at this website because your are interested in some type of team coaching. Some of you maybe still deciding if some type of coaching is for you, and some of you are looking for coaches that fit your need. We will deliver both of those to you. We will explain the pro's and con's of team coaching and also give you a list of some of the most successful coaches in the country.

Team coaching can be used for small businesses, sport teams and relationships. No matter which team you are working with the importance of having a coach will make all the difference in the world. If we take a look at our youth in our society, we see a group of people that learn at a level far beyond the average adult. This happens because they are more open to new ideas and because through their education they, always have a coach, teacher or mentor. However, once a student leaves school the level of learning drops because our minds closes off and our coaching/ teachers go away. However, if we look at some of the most successful people in the world, such as Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Warren Buffett we will see that they all have some type of coach that leads them. Their success can absolutely be attributed to this.

When I first started a business I was very fortunate to have a business coach come with my business. At first I had no idea how important this was. However, after my business had created of $40,000 worth of income in my first year of business, I realized that this would have not happened without my coach. I have taken that lesson to heart and always keep some type of coach in my life. I currently have a coach for my business and a coach for my personal relationship. Both of these coaches are experts in their field and masters and creating results.

The touch screen display is becoming one of the most powerful branding and customer education tools in the business world today. With the advent of social media, businesses and organizations are seeking new ways to connect with today's technologically savvy and socially-motivated consumer, and multi-touch hardware and software applications are quickly becoming one of the most effective means of doing so. However, from a marketing standpoint this particular method is interesting in that it's not the technology itself that motivates or even interests consumers - it's the interaction that it provides. Businesses that utilize the touch screen display for this purpose will realize increased profits as a result of improved consumer relations.

One of the fastest growing and most important markets today is an increasingly technologically savvy one. Consumers in their teens on up through their thirties have a mastery of everyday technology that allows them to instantly communicate and network, research and uncover information, comparison shop, seek entertainment and educate themselves. Businesses that cater to this group can capture one of the most profitable demographics out there - and there are few better ways to do this than with a touch screen display. By speaking to this valuable consumer group in a language they understand, companies can build relationships with these individuals that go far beyond what a brick and mortar or static website-based business could hope to accomplish.

Regardless of demographics, nearly all humans are visually oriented and learn best from visual cues and information. The ability to educate employees, consumers, clients and peers in the best method possible will result in increased retention of the information presented and improved comprehension when graphical aids are well-designed. Using a touch screen display to accomplish this education will also result in a better ability on the part of the viewer to describe it later to another, leading to an improvement in the clarity of word of mouth advertising.

Touch screen displays allow consumers to literally interact with your business - even when you're not there to manage this process. While this might seem like a simple creature comfort, people feel empowered when they are able to use their own skills to uncover information, and an empowered person is one who is more likely to buy than someone who is unsure. Direct interaction on the part of consumers leads to more involvement in your company and better brand loyalty as a result. If a customer feels like they are a part of what your company is doing, they'll be more likely to do business with you.

Ultimately, a better educated customer requires less time to close the deal, saving your company money and significant effort because you'll be dealing exclusively with pre-qualified leads or repeat customers. And with the right product and the right level of education and interaction, your product or service just might sell itself. Customers who are educated are more likely to recommend your business, and in today's world of fast moving viral news and social media, this can make or break a company over night.

Take the next step in maximizing customer interactions and watch this touch screen display video.

For people who are just starting their first business or those who have always rented a traditional office they can become quite confused when faced with the option of opening or moving their business to either a serviced office or a virtual office. Some people get confused as to what the differences are between the two and others simply aren't sure which is the best choice for their business. Hopefully, this article will help clear up their confusion allowing you to make the right choice for your business needs.

A serviced office is an office building managed by a company that rents out office space on a continual basis to businesses for a period of time. You can rent the space temporarily (usually 3 to 6 months) or permanently (on a renewable lease basis). You then occupy the office and conduct your business or the majority of your business from your office. The company renting the space provides the furniture, the maintenance, and the security for the entire building. They usually provide meeting or conference rooms that are available for your use and receptionists who are shared among the tenants of the office. Office machines may also be shared between several tenants as well.

A virtual office on the other hand can be a call centre or can be an office building that supplies a live receptionist who can take calls for your business that is located at your home or a distant location. While it is a brick and mortar building with office space, meeting and conference rooms, a waiting area and even a kitchenette it usually only leases these spaces on an hourly or sometimes daily basis saving you from having to pay the high rent of long term rental yet giving you all or most of the conveniences of an office when you need it.

People who work on the road or from home on a regular basis and just need the services of a phone answering service or a receptionist to take messages and set appointments usually find a virtual office set up convenient and financially beneficial. They like the idea of being able to rent a meeting room on as needed basis rather than pay for an office space that they rarely use.

On the hand, people who need the benefit of a office on a regular basis but, simply can't afford to rent an office and hire full time staff or businesses that are expanding and simply need a short term extra space from which to conduct business until their larger office space is ready find that a serviced office offers them most of everything they need at an affordable price.

Some companies offer both serviced offices and virtual office solutions and will be happy to help you analyze your needs and see which is right for you. With both the serviced office and the virtual office the companies are extremely flexible and are willing to provide the best solutions to fit your business needs.

With the economy the way it is and so many people finding themselves out of work, now seems the time to go out on your own and start that new business you have always dreamed of. However, starting a new business is always difficult and expensive and those with limited funds may find it difficult to stretch the money they have to invest to include all those items and staff that starting a new business may involve. Luckily, a serviced office may be an excellent solution to those just starting a new business and doing so on a shoe string budget. Here is how a serviced office can help you get a good start on your business without going over budget.

Furnished Office Space

Setting up the office itself is an expensive endeavour. Not only do you need to rent office space for yourself but, you may also need to have addition space for conferences, your receptionist, and a waiting area. On top of that you will need to rent or purchase office furniture, office machines and other items necessary to get your new office up and running. However, with a serviced office, you rent the office and the service provides the furniture, access to a conference room and to the business machines you need. While the rent on these offices may be slightly higher than renting that empty office space, you save money in the long run because the furniture, conference area, and use of the machines are provided as part of your rental agreement.

An Impressive Address

In many cases, service offices are located in great areas of the city which means from the first day you open your office you are able to provide potential clients with an impressive address rather than one in a less attractive part of the city. One of the most important things about becoming successful and building client trust is giving new clients the impression that you are already successful which an impressive address can do.

Receptionist/Answering Service

In most cases a serviced office provides you with a shared receptionist and answering service saving you the expense of hiring someone full time to fill these positions. Often times, unless you choose to pay for each service separately these services are part of your rent so there is no extra cost involved in their services. This can really save you a great deal of money when you are just starting a business.
Support Staff When Needed

In addition to all the other money saving benefits a serviced office can provide to a new business they also provide you with support staff when you need them. This is a great savings for businesses just starting out because you are saved from paying full time wages to staff members those first few months when business may simply be too slow to need this type of staff on a regular basis.

Serviced offices do a great job of providing for the needs of a business starting out while helping to keep those costs down which is a real help when you are starting a business on a limited income.

When you are running a restaurant there are many things that you have to keep a track of in terms of costing. The costs of running a restaurant are what surprises most people, and staying on top of the first year's worth of bills is what will keep you in business for the next few years. Most restaurants will end up trading insolvent within the first year because some of the costs of running a business get out of control. Here are some of the costs you will face as a start up restaurant. One of the key things most successful restaurant owners say is "Start-up costs are always far beyond what you imagined."

If you are looking for success the best thing to do is come up with a unique enough concept, with food that tastes great at a reasonable price.

Rent

The second you put your name down to open a restaurant is the second you start paying rent. This will include all the down time your business has while you are renovating the fit out, when you are sleeping, when your staff don't turn up on time. The best ways to avoid down time is a) get into your premises as fast as possible and b) try to run the restaurant 7 days a week for as many hours as you can. Rent is also one of the largest portions of a business' fixed costs, so you should be looking to minimise this as much as possible. See if you can negotiate better rent in return for renovating the place.

Food Supplies

When you start a restaurant, you have to buy all of your food supplies up front without selling anything. The key here is to not order all of the most expensive freshest ingredients first. You or your chef may want to start serving Asparagus Tips, but they are one of the most expensive vegetables, and they can spoil easily. Look for suppliers who are local who you can buy from regularly with small orders at first. If you can order frequently, the food will stay fresh, and you can order what you need for that short period of time. Once you get a feel for the food that will keep and is regularly a best seller, then you can start looking at discounts for bigger orders.

Fit out.

Everyone wants to have the best looking restaurant with the most expensive equipment. In most cases, however, a $50 pan will do the same job as a $500 pan, and when your chef chucks a tantrum and hurls the pan across the room at the sous-chef, you won't lost as much money. Try to keep the equipment purchases down, and aim for things that don't need a lot of maintenance. For chairs and other fixtures, the nicest equipment will always cost the most, so aim for something affordable. Make the place feel comfortable, but not the ritz. In the end people will remember your food, not if the bar stools were made from suede.

Licensing

There are a lot of regulatory hoops to jump through when you are running a restaurant, and most are unavoidable. Each local jurisdiction will have their own rules as to what you need. In the least you will need your health and safety certification.

Staff

Your second biggest marginal cost after supplies is going to be salaries. Each area has their own rules about paying staff. However your biggest task is going to be to make sure you have enough staff on to cover tables, but not so many that they are standing around. Also you should be looking to have as many junior staff as one or two manager can handle, but having an experience chef and front of house manager standing around during quiet times is crazy. You may have to get in and become a key member of the team yourself.

Marketing

The thing that you should look at allocating at least some budget for is marketing/advertising. In the least you should spend your time looking in the local papers to find journalists that would be interested in coming in for the grand opening. Take the time to work out if you want to place an ad in the local paper, or invite some local groups like the Rotary Club to an exclusive night in. You could spend the first week prior to opening just hosting small dinner parties, this would give you the chance to get your staff up to speed.

Looking to launch a business? It takes some significant firepower to be able to break through the stratosphere of business connections. To establish a business, it must first become known. Luckily, the Internet makes a versatile marketing tool. It's all about creating a presence.

Looking to launch a business? It takes some significant firepower to be able to break through the stratosphere of business connections. To establish a business, it must first become known. Luckily, the Internet makes a versatile marketing tool. From social media sites to ones for marketing, there are any number of ways to get your company's name out there. To interact with customers online, it helps to frame the conversation. Start with direct mailing lists, establish a presence on Facebook and launch a Twitter account. It's all about creating a presence.

Segmenting:
The Internet makes it possible to connect with a range of audiences across all demographics, but you still need to focus your target. Decide what your target audience is. Mailing lists for marketing are only worth their weight in how relevant they are to your target audience. Decide the age and demographics for the target audience you're going for, and build your direct from that.

At the same time, don't limit yourself. Facebook wisely chose to develop and expand its demographic early on. That's why it's no longer just a site for college students but also rugby fans from South Africa, moms from Wisconsin, and Eskimos in Alaska. The best marketing approach tries to include anyone relevant, but start with a target scope and expand. Target for marketing at specific areas, but target a wide range.

Subject Line Sells the Email:
Most emails never make it past the subject line. Spam buttons make it too easy. If you're actually going to hook customers with direct mailing lists, you need to attract their interest in just a few words. Let's face it. People get more email than credit card offers. The vast majority ends up in the trash or the spam box. If you want response from your for marketing, rope them in with a snappy and luring subject line that's pure gold.

Remember Link Value:
To get the most of your direct mailing lists, remember to include plenty of relevant links, especially to the pages of your site most likely to attract a sale. You've got a small window of opportunity to lure in a new customer. What page will sell? Include it in a link, or ideally, several links. Maximize the potential of your for marketing with links that count.

In today's business, mergers and acquisitions are regular occurrences. In fact, it happens so often that many consumers can't keep up with the new company names or products. To continue thriving in our economy, companies have to grow and evolve, and that sometimes means the combination of two companies will work better for the general public and the companies involved. There are two general types of mergers and acquisitions. The first is the horizontal merger, and the other is the vertical merger. A horizontal merger is two very similar companies joining together to work as one. An example of this would be two telecommunications companies joining forces to offer similar services after the merger. While a horizontal merger is perfectly acceptable, there are many who frown on it because it can offer fewer competitors if they are located in the same market areas. When two companies merge to form one, consumers often find they no longer have a choice between two companies and must, instead, deal only with the one new company. Without the healthy competition between two companies, customer service may decline while prices skyrocket. Essentially, a monopoly is created and consumers may suffer.

A vertical merger happens when a client and a company merge. An example of this might be when a hot dog company merges with a hot dog bun company. Because both products are still offered and they work together, consumers get the products they need. A vertical merger does not eliminate the competition for a particular company and is therefore often seen as a much more welcome combination.

Mergers and acquisitions have been a part of business for hundreds of years, though they weren't as prevalent as they are today. The first significant occurrence of mergers happened in the late 1800s and early 1900s, though the concept wasn't new even then. Since that large wave of mergers and acquisitions, which has become known as the Great Merger Movement, there have been six more significant waves of merger and acquisitions. In most cases, the mergers are peaceful and welcome on the part of both companies involved. The 1990s saw several hostile takeovers, however. The years since 2000 have seen many international mergers and acquisitions, and this is changing the face of business. There is no doubt that these new overseas mergers and acquisitions will continue to alter the way we do business, and chances are that company takeovers and fusions will shape the global economy for several years to come.

To revive its sagging economy, America needs a new locomotive of growth: a new job-creating engine. In the 19th century, canals and railways were the locomotives of growth. In the 20th century the locomotive was fueled by the combination of freeways and cheap oil. These locomotives were created by the private sector in partnership with government. Today's U.S. government stimulus quiver has run out of arrows: the traditional monetary and fiscal policies have run out of steam. We cannot stimulate domestic production without adding structural changes to the economy. It is like pushing on a string or trying to inflate a tire with a hole in it. Entire industries are now overseas, predominantly in Asia. Hence the persistent very high US jobless rate. There is absolutely nothing on the horizon that promises to revive the sagging American economy.

This paper proposes a new locomotive of growth in the form of an Apollo-scale health and energy initiative to be financed, almost totally, by the private sector. This initiative will lay a solid new foundation for a vibrant economy and put America back to work. It's a job-creating machine for the 21st century. The beauty of this plan is that it does not exacerbate the deficit or balloon the size of government.

Where will the money come from? Currently, we're in the middle of a huge liquidity crisis. Investors and corporations have trillions of dollars sitting on the sidelines waiting for a secure financial vehicle to invest in. We are proposing the creation of two new government-guaranteed private venture funds that will activate this dormant, parked money and use it to rebuild our economy--making energy and health twin locomotives for economic growth. This initiative will replace the overstretched consumer as an engine for economic growth.

Here's how the U.S. government, in conjunction with a consortium of "Venture Capitalists," can help jump start this new locomotive:

1) Develop two blueprints that detail the Energy and Health initiatives. The Energy Blueprint defines the architecture for a green nation-wide grid--including the details of how different sources of clean energy can participate in the grid. The Health Blueprint defines an Apollo-like medical research program to eradicate the big Medicare draining three chronic diseases in America, cancer, heart disease and diabetes, with a heavy emphasis on prevention. Technocrats can work out the details and present them as a package for political review and approval.

2) Announce the creation of two new government-supported Private Venture Funds: the U.S. Energy Fund and the U.S. Health Fund.

3) The government will insure the initial investments (i.e., the Founder Stocks) that go into the venture. In return, the government will be given a 15% ownership of the Founder Stocks. The bulk of the fund will come from a sea of money that is currently sitting on the sidelines looking for safe and profitable sources of investments. As a further incentive, the government could waive capital gains and dividend taxes on these funds.

4) The Energy and Health Funds will fund new and existing ventures to achieve--in record time--the goals set by the blueprints.

5) The government will subsidize some of the non-profitable parts of the plan (for example, some parts of the public energy grid, basic medical research). In these cases, the government will receive additional stock in return for its investments.

6) When these two initiatives are successful, the government will eventually sell its stocks to fund Medicare and Social Security. There are sixty trillion dollars in unfunded entitlements, primarily in Medicare and Social Security, which will somehow have to be financed. Increasing taxes on a job base which has shrunk due to globalism is not the answer.

This program will put America back to work in record time at minimal cost to the taxpayer. It will also revive the financial markets. America will be issuing government-guaranteed securities that are backed by real infrastructure. The program shifts the implementation of these initiatives from the public sector, transforming them into public private initiatives, resulting in enhanced creativity and job growth. Checks and balances, tough underwriting, transparency, bullet proofing from lobbyists and all those who will try to subvert the process for individual profiteering, high principles, and extensive due diligence are paramount to a successful program.

Implementing this plan will mobilize resources from every sector of our economy.... research and development, capital markets, domestic factory production, construction, and most importantly will harness the underutilized talents and energies of millions of American workers in all skill categories. The jobs produced must be domestic ("sticky") and not easily transferred offshore.

Structuring the energy and health initiatives as proposed, will enable them to be implemented on a much bigger and well funded scale than simply appropriating limited government funds for government administered initiatives. Just as essential, the nation will be offered a new vision to strive for, distracting its attention from the self perpetuating spiral of fear of global systemic failure we are once again in. It is a win-win proposition for putting America back to work. It's a new locomotive of growth for the 21st century. It will create millions of new American jobs without adding new taxes or expanding the deficit. Over time, the new jobs will reduce the deficit and make America the most productive country on earth.

The name of the game in marketing is finding the right target audience, starting with email. In this golden age of technology, businesses have a multitude of ways of connecting with customers and expanding their demographics, but finding the relevant audience is the first step in the journey. Connect with the right resource of it, make the most out of Facebook, Twitter and other social media tools, and you can vastly expand your demographic reach. If Facebook can have fans in Kenya, why can't you?

Don't Be Afraid of Emails:
The beauty of emails is there are no stamps involved. People laughed Bill Gates off the blog zone when he suggested charging for email. As an electronic send out, it's automatic, so there is minimal to no cost in sending them. It's a matter of freedom of speech. You can send hundreds, thousands, millions of emails. It doesn't matter. Some will strike home, and the more the merrier.

At the same time, your emails will be more effective with the right one. While email is as free as the air, you still wan to reach the right people. Doing that means connecting with the right email marketing lists. The best way to do that is to work with a company that deals in large volumes of email list. Name your target audience, and they'll supply you with hundreds of one in those exact demographics.

Math Counts:
Don't use marketing lists blindly. Do the math, add it up, and make sensible decisions based on business intelligence. The data is there that directly tells you the effectiveness of your email one. Work with a data intelligence service that not only handles the organization of the data, but the interpretation as well. In this day and age, there's just no excuse for leaving your business subject to the winds of chance.

Swoon Them with Deals:
The best email pays you back for reading it. You'll get more leverage out of your email marketing lists when you add incentive for anyone who clicks it. Email that gives you a deal is never spam. Offer your customers something to pique their interest. Deals bring people in and light a fire under your audience. Give them something to keep them coming back.

Diversify:
While you need to target the right audiences on your email marketing lists, don't limit yourself. Subscribe to a wide range of marketing lists. Make them relevant, but comprehensive. Facebook wouldn't be Facebook if it just stuck to college students at Harvard. Invite the entire world.

The boom in the modern IT industry can be attributed to a lot of innovations that are taking place regularly to ensure greater security and ease with which technology can be used to yield better results. One such innovation is an online storage service that has the capacity to retrieve lost data, thereby saving a situation from potential crisis. Online storage service typically collects, compresses, encrypts, and transfers the data to the remote backup service provider's servers or off-site hardware.

While it is imperative in the IT industry to store data in the backup system, other business verticals are also increasingly relying on this new approach to secure their IT operations and save themselves from vulnerable data loss because of computer viruses, thefts, hard disk crash, and other forms of disasters.

Data backup is crucial for any organization, which is always on the lookout for a reliable way to protect its valuable and confidential information. Online storage service is the answer to this requirement. It is fully automated and can provide greater protection and reliability at a low cost, having eliminated the need for external storage devices and dedicated datacenter.

An online storage service leases storage capacity for a monthly fee to each customer, who is given a secure, password-protected service account for managing their stored files on any web browser via an Internet connection. In addition, the customer also can use the service's web-based interface to edit and share files without actually downloading the file. However, it is also very important to choose the right vendor for availing this highly sophisticated form of service that ensures the protection of your valuable data.

It is essential to choose a provider that will offer good technical support services and will facilitate a snag free experience for the user in uploading, storing, retrieving and sharing the files. The most important function of online storage service is the file recovery utility that justifies the entire process of storing data online for retrieval at the right time and this requirement should be optimally met.

Conserving valuable data for future reference or for any other requirement is the prerogative of every organization. But nonetheless it can be a cumbersome process. However, online storage service offers a convenient way to achieve this critical mission, providing peace of mind to the user at a reasonable price tag. So if you are looking for a 'set it and forget it' kind of a service to secure your IT activities, online storage service is your answer. Because storing your valuable data has never been easier.

A business thrives on two essential ingredients: quality product/service and the right kind of exposure or marketing. An online business is no different. To address the need for business exposure affiliate marketing has evolved over the years. Unfortunately, getting the right caliber of marketing personnel or affiliates to take a product/service to the public, where it is needed, is often a daunting challenge to many business owners. It is even more so as affiliate marketers come ten a penny, and many take the initiative by approaching the business owner(s) offering to market their products.

Daunting as recruiting the right affiliates may be, it still has to be done. Many business owners have recorded successes in attracting the right kind of affiliates by adopting five key strategies. What are these strategies?

It must be said right away that waiting and hoping that affiliates will approach you to be signed on to your business is the worst kind of strategy for your business growth. For one thing, you have ceded the initiative to the affiliate and by extension the ability to dictate the terms of engagement. When this happens the possibility of hiring second rate affiliates becomes high, with the attendant risk of your product not getting adequate and or effective publicity or exposure.

Strategy 1

Design a marketing plan: This may strike many as a no brainer but you'll be surprised at the number of online businesses that lack a basic marketing plan. Many online businesses simply play it by the ear; they hear that one marketing strategy works wonders and they hurriedly key into it without fully understanding why or how it works and when the desired 'wonder' is not achieved fast enough they immediately switch to the next hype. A marketing plan will basically show your target market, where that can be found, and how to approach it. A marketing plan shows you the kind of affiliates you need for your business. For instance, a sporting product is better received if it is marketed to the sporting crowd on sports sites, chat rooms, blogs, etc. The plan must equally include regular reviews to assess its level of success and to trim or strengthen it as required.

Strategy 2

Compile a list of affiliates in your industry and related industries and then speak directly to them about your product/service and your need for affiliates. To sweeten the pot, you must clearly state what commission you are willing to give and other benefits if they sign up with you. It would certainly help if you can give a commission to the affiliates above the industry average.

Strategy 3

Become very visible; be everywhere online. There are a number of ways to achieve online visibility: Write and post interesting articles on your product/service on article directories like EzineArticles; Buzzle, Article Dashboard, Goarticles, Articlesalley, etc. Write quality and objective product reviews; register with social network sites like MySpace, Tagged, Facebook, Twitter, etc and make lots of friends; join an affiliate directory; join a forum and instigate discussions on your product/service; maintain a blog, where you constantly highlight your product. Generally make it difficult for web users, including affiliates, to ignore you or your product. Once you are well known, affiliate marketers would be willing to join your affiliate programme and make money while expending little effort.

Strategy 4

Professionalism is essential. Professionalism in terms of your lead time in responding to queries, handling orders, et cetera. With thousands of online businesses to promote, no affiliate marketer wants to be trapped in a business that slows it down. It tells an affiliate you are not serious if he has to wait days to get clarifications on your product/service.

Strategy 5

Get referrals. Encourage your affiliates to bring in others and make sure they are rewarded when they do. Explore your list, your online friends, and others for suggestions on suitable affiliates.

Recruiting the right mix of affiliates is as important to your business growth as your product/service and it requires quality time devoted to drawing out an effective recruitment strategy.

Okay so, one thing I like to do is go down to the local Starbucks and engage in intellectual discourse and dialogue. Often, the discussions and debates I get into are quite enlightening, and it surely helps me as a writer, as I am in constant need of coming up with new topics to write about for my loyal readers, people like you.

One thing I've noticed over the last two or three years is that people come into Starbucks, a place where generally people congregate in public for cultural reasons to exchange ideas and have meaningful conversations - but instead, these people whip out there smart phones, iPhones, tablets, and iPads, and yes, some of them bring in their larger laptops and notebooks. They are so busy playing around with their social networks online that they don't pay anyone else any attention.

Now then, it's nice to see so many locations now offer free Wi-Fi because people like to use their personal tech devices, but it is also unfortunate that such a wonderful social meeting ground has been reduced to everyone playing around on Twitter and Facebook rather than conversing and getting to know one another. It's as if people are being social online and less-than-social when they are out in public, where it really matters.

That's too bad really, and I'd like to discuss this with you, but also take this entire line of thought to a higher level. In the July-August edition of American Conservative there was an interesting article titled; "Anti-Social Network - Who Needs Friends When You Have Facebook," by Stephen B. Tippens Jr. and in his article, Stephen make some good points. It is as if a whole generation of people are into the online socialization instead of understanding what it is to be human and socialize in real life.

Now then, I am not a PhD psychologist researcher, but it appears to me that there will be psychological repercussions to all this. Human beings are social animals, and it appears that these online social networks provide for an inherent need, but they are delivering on that promise. If I am sitting in Starbucks for a couple of hours, and there are three or four people sitting around me who never even say hello, at a coffee shop which is known as a social meeting and gathering place for that purpose, then we seem to have a problem.

Worse, I would submit to you that the problem is growing further and it is taking away humanity's soul. And whereas there are a lot of good things that come with social networking, it's hard to say if it is a net positive. Indeed, we won't know for many years or decades into the future whether this experiment, with billions of people engaging in social networks has helped humanity, or made it worse. In many regards it brings people all over the world together in a common cause, hobby, industry, or line of thinking, but it also pulls people apart in many ways as well.

Do those that run social networks really care about humanity, or human beings in general? Humans are social animals that have needs of companionship, but do the social network folks really care? Well, they surely claim to but I really wonder and after reading the book about Facebook and how it got started, I have more questions than answers now, and at least as many more concerns about the topic. In fact, I'd like to recommend this book to you, and after you read it, perhaps you may contact me and tell me if you share my views. The name of the book is;

"The Accidental Billionaires - The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayl," by Ben Mezrich, Anchor Books, a division of Doubleday and Random House Publishing, New York, NY, (2009), two. 60 pages, ISBN: 978-0-7679-3155-7.

You see, it appears to me that Facebook is a business like any other business, and they are in business to make money, and as much money as possible as they try to monetize their business model. If you doubt this, there was an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal on August 3, 2011 titled; "New Metrics Gauge Heft of Facebook Ads," by Shayndi Raice. Indeed, let me tell you; there are big investment banks behind this, and some of the wizards on Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

Still, Facebook is more than just a business, as it has become a way of life for some 700 million people on the planet now, and it is changing the way we think, act, and is affecting the stability of nations, governments, and economies. Needless to say, these are all serious issues. But of course these are not the only issues, and I'd like to discuss another recent research paper I read from a top university about the effect that social networks are having on adolescents.

The study I read stated that a teenage boy cares more about their profile, and how they look on Facebook, that is to say their digital real estate there, than the type of car they drive. Obviously, in decades past teenage boys were very concerned with getting a car, and having a cool car so that they looked good amongst their friends, and could attract teenage girls. Now then, you can understand that these online social networks have taken the place of socializing in the real world.

And just as Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" Pyramid suggests, these kids desire respect from their fellow man, especially members of the opposite sex at that age as they go through puberty. This throws an incredibly new dynamic into the situation. In fact, there have been suicides of teenagers who found that their reputations were trashed online on these social networks, or when former friends ganged up on them and said mean things. Obviously, these social networks are a powerful force in a teenager's life. Might I suggest they have too much power?

Okay so, let's talk about that for a moment. If these teenagers are so worried about their reputations online, that they go out of their way to please their followers, and their fake digital friends, then in a way they are losing their individuality to the blob of the digital masses. Now, I may be pushing the limits of what you will accept as believable, but I would suggest to you that this is just one step away from a Borg-like society where humans are controlled through the mass social manipulation of machines.

Now then, obviously that's a very heavy statement, but I'm not going to take it back, because it appears to me that the writing is on the wall. Further, five years ago social networks did not exist, and as we add artificial intelligence, facial recognition features, and other sophisticated algorithms to the process, along with the opportunity which is ultimately hard to resist for authorities to control the population, I'd say we are entering a dangerous age. There are those who are greedy for power, money, control and/or some or all of the above. "Beware humans," I say!

It is not my intention to scare anyone, just to wake everyone up, and get them thinking about what social networks mean, and what they will become in the future. If we are willing to think through this new technology, and what it means for our future, we may be able to harness its power for the good of humanity, rather than allowing it to enter a rogue realm which we will ultimately pay for later. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.

In my last post I told you I was going to continue on the journey of "getting your foot back in the door" with your overdue patients. I've had requests for the actual scripting that I would recommend. Such a dangerous request... but I'm going to give it to you anyway.

I have to give you my disclaimer first: If you don't want to hear the answer... don't ask the question.

Getting on the phone and calling patients is much easier than you think. What generally happens is a doctor will ask me what they should say... I tell them... they don't like it and do their own thing. So why even ask?

I will also tell you there are 30 other variations of this script that you can use. Oh you want me to tell you which doctors will have the most success with this script?

The ones that pick it up... had it to their staff and say... "use this exact script when you are calling our patients".

They are NOT going to overthink it... they are just going to do it. They will have called 100 patients and scheduled 20 appointments in the same time that all the other doctors set it aside and said... "I like it but I'm not sure what my patients, staff, family, (fill in your excuse here) will think of it".

The doctors that have the most success JUST DO IT (it's more than a slogan folks).

If you don't like the exact way it's scripted... make the changes you want... then start dialing for dollars.

Let me tell you a little about the opening sentences. Be transparent AND take responsibility. When someone answers you respond with this:

Hi, this is (staff name) from (office name), is Mr. /Mrs. ___________ available?

By identifying yourself you don't sound like a tele-marketer and have a much better chance of getting who you are looking for (you know what I'm talking about... you've probably told someone you weren't available before).

Once you get them on the phone you say this:

Hi Mr. /Mrs. ____________, I was taking a look through some of our files and noticed that you are past due for your annual eye exam. Please forgive me for letting your file slip through the cracks. I have some openings this (week/tomorrow) to get you in. Would you prefer morning or afternoon? (Continue with scheduling)

You've taken responsibility for the scheduling error and are trying to make it right. DON'T blame your patient and tell them they are at fault for not coming in. They will appreciate the grace that you give them.

You can download the script and see the rest by visiting my blog at http://www.DoctorsWealthSecrets.com. (This is my optometrist version. You're smart you can make the changes for your specialty).

http://doctorswealthsecrets.com/patientreactivationphonescript.html

The fact that your medical office receptionist has her hands full with patients checking in and out means that your business is doing well. However, it also means that there's this 20% chance that you will be losing new customers because your receptionist no longer has the time to answer phone calls. 20% is the estimated rate of new potential customers calling in to inquire about your services or to schedule an appointment with you. In order to get that 20% while keeping your existing customers fully satisfied with your receptionist's customer service, you will need a virtual receptionist.

Better Customer Relations

While your staff is busy accommodating the patients coming in and out, your virtual receptionist can take care of those who are on the phone. This way, your staff can better focus on the welfare of your existing patients thereby making the experience more pleasant for them. Pertinent paperwork can be filed faster and patient or doctor requests will be responded to in a timely manner.

On the other hand, your automated system can tirelessly call new patients to remind them of their appointments and accept calls requesting for appointments. And since every call is logged into a central database, the likelihood of double booking is greatly reduced.

Better Security

Human receptionists sometimes become lenient with rules especially if they know the person requesting access to patient information. But with a virtual receptionist, rules are rules. Whatever permission settings you have previously set will be the exact ones that will be implemented. In addition, an automated system runs over a secure SSL so there's no risk of identity theft and other unethical medical practices.

Also, only the time and date of the booked appointments will be seen online. Your patient's personal information will be kept in a central database and they will just be emailed a copy together with instructions for their next appointment.

Better Accuracy in Appointment Setting

Human error is eminent especially when it comes to appointment setting. There are times that a medical office front desk receptionist will not or cannot even book the appointment on your patient's preferred schedule. Other times, there are two or more bookings in one slot.

A virtual receptionist eliminates such possibility because it automatically closes a slot once a patient has already booked it. Instead the system, through its speech recognition technology, will offer the next available slot that is closest to the patient's preferences.

Further, a person who books an appointment through the online scheduler will not be allowed to reserve more than two slots. Hence, there is little room for abuse.

Better Understanding of Patients Needs

Patients are different in terms of language, needs and preferences. A human receptionist may find it difficult to meet all patients' demands but a 24/7 backup receptionist can. Since it operates 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, patients will not be limited to the traditional office hours. Also, when the system calls a patient for an appointment reminder, special notes can be included.

A virtual receptionist is an important part of office automation. So make sure that you choose the right program for your medical practice. Other aspects to consider are the cost, maintenance and a host of other features and benefits.

If you need a virtual receptionist who interacts with each of your patients, then contact AngelSpeech, the best automated medical office receptionist provider.

So you've finally graduated from just thinking about starting your own pay-per-click campaign and have finally started one with a whole bunch of links that are just itching to be clicked. But what if no one decides to click on them? Many of the most popular and effective PPC systems aren't free and won't be able to pay for themselves, let alone generate a substantial stream of revenue.

PPC programs can be worth it only if there is a constant stream of traffic that gets funneled to them. This is true for any PPC program such as AdWords, AdSense, and other affiliate marketing PPC programs that are out there. PPC management services are needed because there are many tasks associated with managing a PPC program, but not all people or companies have the time and resources to spare for such things.

Thankfully though, there are a large number of firms out there that specialize in managing PPC accounts and perform SEO functions, allowing small and large companies to outsource these responsibilities to them so companies can focus on core business functions. Not only will your site benefit from the increased awareness of the products and services you offer, additional revenue will also be generated more effectively from the relevant PPC marketing ads that are displayed on your site.

SEO firms not only specialize in services that help increase the amount of traffic that gets redirected to your site, they also know which tasks to prioritize, allowing your PPC implementation to become as efficient as possible. Most novice bloggers and webmasters will probably try a broad spectrum approach in an attempt to capture the attention of just about every visitor out there. However, a much better approach that SEO and PPC management firms like to use is to identify the best ads to display, ensuring higher relevance to your site.

There is a wide array of services that an SEO and PPC management firm is able to provide its customers, and people can take advantage of them in the deployment of the blogs or company websites, as well as with the implementation of their PPC accounts. The best practices when it comes to SEO and PPC never truly remain the same, which is why it is best to find an SEO firm that has had years of experience in the industry and is able to keep up with the constantly changing trends. Of course, if you are trying to save on this kind of service, there are also some emerging firms that prefer to charge lower rates for their services while making a name for themselves and amassing clients.

1. Paid to Blog Sites: Paid to Blog Sites are absolutely amazing. They pay you anywhere between $5 - $ 200 per post. It is one of the easiest and the most profitable ways to generate a substantial income online. Bloggers can easily earn about $500 per month or even more by simply posting a blog or two per week. It is extremely important to be consistent and highly professional while posting a blog.

2. Survey Sites: Survey sites are a good way to start off as well. Once you register on these sites, do not forget to complete your profile. Your profile determines which surveys you get. If there is a page which asks you for your likes, select as many as possible. These two pages will determine the number of surveys you get. Each survey pays you $1 - $50 per survey depending on the length and rarity of the survey. Technical surveys fetch you more money, but they need highly qualified participants and hence have a page or two to pre-qualify participants before the actual surveys begin. Also remember to promote these survey sites with your referral link. You earn more if one of your referral completes a survey.

3. Social Networking Sites: There are a few social networking sites that allow you to post your thoughts and discussions and earn money online. You can earn anything between $20 & $50 a month from each of these sites. The quality and uniqueness of your posts is very important to earn more. These sites not only help you earn money, they can get your questions answered immediately. I had a slight problem with my computer. I consulted several technical experts with my query. However my issue was resolved within a few hours of my posting a query on one of these sites. Also note that I myself used to work for Dell Technical Support at that time. So my question was not easy.

4. Paid to Perform Tasks: Such sites pay you anywhere between $0.01 - $5 to perform small tasks like signing up to a website or reviewing a website and posting a comment. This can be useful additional income and requires very little effort.

5. Affiliate Marketing and PPC / PPV sites: Affiliate Marketing sites are sites that offer you a small commission to promote their products. Join one of the many affiliate marketing sites online and select the product to promote. Then create your own blog or website and promote their products there. Join any Pay Per Click or Pay Per View Site. Get your own advertisement code and paste it on your website. Now promote your own website. This helps you to earn money in two ways. Once someone reaches your website, he sees the products you are promoting. If he buys the product, you earn from the affiliate marketing company. At the same time the PPC or PPV sites pay you money as their advertisements get viewed. If the visitor does not buy anything from your website, you still get paid by the PPC or PPV site. There are several other ways to earn money online like selling of personal goods, blogging and many others. However I prefer these as they are simple and help to earn a decent amount of money.

Multiple streams of income continue to be a fairy tale for many simply because they do not understand precisely what it means and how to go about it. In this article, we are going to quickly examine the meaning and how to go about generating multiple streams of income from a website.

Multiple stream of income is all about generating money from one source in many different ways. It doesn't matter if the amount generated is small. What actually matters is the diversity in income that you earn from one business.

Once your site is up and running the next thing usually on the mind of many webmaster is how to monetize the site and benefit from it. There are several ways to do that such as selling products related to your niche, participating in affiliate program, adding ad sense program on the site, selling ad space on the site, offering opt in page where visitors can subscribe for your info and so on.

When your business carries out a lot of its activities online, this means that power cuts and internet connection problems can cause you to go on a loss. This becomes worse when you are serving clients online, and the connection between them and your server is cut. However, this is a common problem when your server is located within your business premises. The good news is that there is a solution to this problem and the investment in such a solution will save you more than you will lose paying for the service.

Datacenter
Colocation services provide you with an alternative, where you get to have your servers stored in a different location from your business premises. You can get such services from providers with a reliable datacenter. When we say reliable, we mean that the provider is well equipped to deal with problems such as power cuts that disable servers immediately. A provider of this service should have adequate backup power available that comes in form of sophisticated generators which would be too expensive for one server.

Security
Another advantage of colocation services is that the location of the datacenter is probably more secure than your home or office. It is in the providers interest to provide security to their clients' resources, thus they will use top notch security systems for the same. In addition, since the providers serve multiple clients, their service will be much cheaper than it will be for you to set up your own data centre and provide security for the same, and you also get cheap overall hosting.

Administration
Another advantage of having your servers in a different location is that there is decreased dependence on external customer support services. This is because administration and maintenance is fully managed through remote administration. They also come with better network speed and cheap bandwidth, which means that your clients get improved online services.

Affordability
For a business that has a website where a lot of activity takes place, the bandwidth requirements can be high. Not so when your server is located elsewhere. You get to share bandwidth with the service provider, which in effect means that you avoid bandwidth charges. Once your server has been installed in the colocation provider's location, you receive an IP address, which will allow you to connect to your server from afar. Your customers will also get to connect to your website fast and easily.

Microcom IT provides reliable and affordable colocation services at our top-of-the-class datacenters.

Server monitoring is effective for quick response to downtime periods. The server is where data and information pertain to an organization is stored, managed and disseminated. When the server is down, operations within the network stall and without proper monitoring, it may take time to realize that it is down and repair in good time. In the following section, we will discuss some of the features that would guide in selection of right monitor.

But first, consider the 6 main advantages of server monitoring
1. It ensures that downtime and uptime are noted and so brings the advantage of peace of mind. All you need is a central console so that you securely monitor the data management zones and remote offices supported by the same server.

2. Server monitoring ensures less work. Since one is capable of configuring monitoring of series of services and devices with only a few clicks, it is agreeable that it lessens work while keeping you alert of uptime.

3. It results in convenience. It is possible to monitor your server uptime and downtime from anywhere including from home and road. It is same as when you are in the office.

4. It is easier to build one's business when they monitor their server closely. They are able to respond to downtime since they have the alerts wherever they are.

5. Scheduled reports generated from server monitoring ensures increase in value.

6. Money is saved from the low upfront fees when the right service is chosen and also when no VPN connection is necessary.

In order to profit from these advantages, a proper selection of the right server monitoring service is critical. The following features denote a great service and must be included in the checklist.

a) Satellite monitoring service
b) Remote support from a centralized console.
c) Optional subscription pricing
d) Agent-less server monitoring where no configuration files, scripts or agents are necessary to complete the process.
e) Robust monitoring that entails event logs, CPU memory and network usage, server and room temperature, running processes and directory quotas.
f) Rich reporting that can be scheduled so as to know the statuses of the downtime and uptime.
g) Responsive actions and alerts
h) Flexibility where you can monitor your server from wherever you are without necessarily being at your office.
i) Bulk configuration
j) Remote console
k) Automatic configuration backup for the just in case moments when everything decided not to work as expected.

Servers by definition are computer programs that that is aimed at serving needs and requests of other programs that are using or are not using the same computer. The servers program is often referred to as a host while those it serves are called clients. A server computer can be a single entity or a series of programs that link to other devices in a network. This can be both private as in an organization or public as it happens in internet, whereby if you search information through a search engine in your computer, this information is relayed to a multitude of servers with the relevant webpages through internet and the results are transmitted to you through a server(s).

Dedicated servers on their part -also called managed hosting service or dedicated hosting service- areservers or types of hosting programs whereby one uses a complete server that is not shared with anyone else. One advantage of dedicated servers is that you will have total control and discretion on the servers which means that you will decide on the hardware, operating system and other inputs. Those who vouch for them also point out to their better returns on investment as well as their low overhead costs.

But any discussion of dedicated servers cannot be complete without the inclusion of a datacentre (also called datacenter, data center or data Centre), which are buffer-zones for housing computer systems and other related components. Some of the functions of a datacentre facility include;

• Storing/ housing various computer systems and other important components like storage systems and telecommunication components.

• A datacentre also takes care of residual and backup power supply that means that the whole system operates unabated even if there are power interruptions.

• It will also sort out your redundant data connections, air conditioning and dealing with fire outbreaks.

One merited factor of a datacentre is that it is very easy and cheap to setup in your computer system. One way of appreciating how cheap this buffer-zone is if you factor in the costs you will incur if it is not present. Although incorporating complete dedicated servers is an expensive undertaking, you can still get a good bargain and land one on the cheap, but you should keep the following points in mind;

• You should make sure that you are offered multiple data centre choices just in case you need a fallback option.

• You should also bargain on a guaranteed bandwidth.

• You should also make sure you get different server options.

Dedicated servers are very useful for keeping your documents and gives security to your website also.

Research into cancer signalling has paved the way for the development of numerous cancer therapeutics, which act at different stages/sites in the cell-cycle to arrest/suppress signalling in cancer cells and induce cell death. Molecularly targeted drugs based on rational drug design have been developed to target and inhibit isolated genes or pathways crucial to the disease mechanism. Many of the earlier targeted therapeutics utilised cancer vaccines, siRNA and antisense oligonucleotides, however, novel therapies now employ monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) and small-molecule protein-kinase inhibitors (SMPKIs), and have been more successful. MoAbs are bulky and target membrane-bound receptors and act through interfering with ligand-receptor interactions, complement-mediated cytotoxicity, immune modulation and antibody-dependent cellular toxicity. SMPKIs are dual specific and target both membrane-bound and internal targets via binding catalytic domains, allosteric binders, inactive kinase binding ligands, and ATP analogues. Because of the structural homology shared by many protein kinases, a single SMPKI can inhibit multiple protein kinases, which is quite advantageous in anticancer therapy.

Molecularly targeted drugs can be placed into several categories based on their mode of action and the specific disease mechanism targeted. Some of the major categories include (i) Aromatase inhibitors, block aromatase in oestrogen-sensitive breast cancer (Drugs: Anastrozole/Arimidex®, exemestane/Aromasin®). (ii) Signal transduction inhibitors; e.g. HER receptor inhibitors, protein kinase inhibitors (scr inhibitors e.g. Dasatinib/Spryce®, Bosutinib), aurora kinase inhibitors (AZD-1152), MAPK inhibitors (Tipifarnib/Zarnestral, Sorafenib/Nexavar, ARRY-142886), PI3k/Akt/mTOR inhibitors (Temsirolimus/Torisel, Rapamycin/Rapamune, Perifosine), etc. (iii) Gene expression modifiers/epigenetic modulators; e.g. histone deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitors and DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (Vorinostat/Zolinza®, Romidepsin (Istodax®), which increase gene expression leading to the induction of tumour cell differentiation, cell-cycle arrest, and apoptosis (Rountree et al., 2000). (iv) Cell death enhancers; these interfere with the action of proteasomes and DNA synthesis thus triggering cell death (Bortezomib/Velcade®, Pralatrexate/Folotyn®) (v) Angiogenesis blockers, which block the growth of blood vessels to tumours, integrin agents that inhibit metastasis (Volociximab), and anti-VEGF/VEGFR (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) agents (Bevacizumab/Avastin®, Sorafenib/Nexavar®, Sunitinib/Sutent®).

EGF signalling is crucial in cancer since it integrates many cascades and also that tumour cells produce EGF-related growth factors (e.g. TGF-α is a ligand for EGFR), which makes EGFR constitutively active. For this reason and the fact the EGFR was the first receptor TK directly linked to human cancers, many MoAbs and SMPKIs and been developed and approved for EGFR/HER2/ErbB targeted therapies in many cancers. However, since most signalling pathways interact through extensive cross-talk with other pathways, the use of drugs that target a single pathway has shown limited success. After initial responsiveness patient tumours then become resistant or re-occur, as seen with some ErbB-targeted drugs and Gleevec targeting of Bcr-Abl. The authors showed that after initial success, the tumour cells developed a mechanism to circumvent the actions of these drugs, either by mutations (allelic adaptive changes) such that the drugs cannot bind catalytic domains or via by-passing that route in the cascade. As a result of this, back-up inhibitors and combination therapies have been developed. These therapeutics target several receptors and/or signalling pathways, thereby reducing the chance of drug resistance. Lapatinib, which targets both EGFR and HER2/neu receptors and Sunitinib/Sutent®, which targets PDGFR, VEGFR, c-kit and Flt3 are good examples of such drugs.

The future of targeted therapeutics will be based on multi-component drugs having combination effects since oncogenesis is a multi-genic, multi-stage process. New drugs being developed induce apoptosis in cancer stem cells to arrest cancer proliferation. However, with the increase use of structural and systems biology, and knowledge of the disease process, the development of many new drugs that target several processes in cell-cycle dysfunction/dysregulation will culminate in better treatment options and eventually a cure.
