Burnaby, BC (PRWEB) April 9, 2007

Kenneth Lagerstrom, a human hand expert with over 30 years experience, has created a new forum at forum.humanhand.com that outlines and discusses possible connections between Down Syndrome and Single Transverse Palmar Crease, or Simian Line. This common hand anomaly has also been associated with other health conditions, such as Turner Syndrome and Trisomy 13, says the hand analysis expert.

“On most people’s palms, there are two distinct horizontal lines,” Lagerstrom said. “When there is only one line running straight across the entire palm, this marking is known as a Simian Line.”

A Simian Line is also called the “Simian Crease,” “Simian Fold,” “Palmar Crease,” “Transverse Palmar Crease,” and “Single Transverse Palmar Crease.” As many as one in 30 people have this marking on their hands, which has been linked with Down Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, Trisomy 13, and several other health conditions.

“Most people who have a Simian Line on their palms are completely unaware of it, and also unaware of the possible implications. It is my hope that this forum will help to increase awareness, and prompt more detailed medical research into the link between the Simian Line and various congenital health conditions.”

Recognising the need for ways to better manage stress in our everyday lives, Development Works developed and conducted a workshop dealing with stress.

Entitled “Living in the Present”, the workshop was held in August 2009, exploring the various ways in which stress negatively impacts our lives – whether in the work or living environment – and how this diverts our attention away from living in the present moment.

Souring Gas Prices Creates Need for Home-based Businesses

If you have ever attended a Network Marketing training, you have probably heard someone say that there is no better time than the present to begin, or revive, your home-based businesses. Although this is usually just a tactic to get people excited enough to jump on the band wagon or to stop procrastinating, the rising cost of gas in America today has turned this motivational technique into an honest truth.

Everyday that passes by, we see gas prices slowly increasing to astronomical heights. This is causing all of our other expenses to rise by default, everything from groceries to postage. There actually is no better time to start a home-based business than the present, and leave the nine to five jobs to those who are willing to empty their wallets at the gas pump every morning.

When you work from home for yourself, you will find that many expenses you used to have are no longer needed. For example, your commute to and from work every day on the highway is totally eliminated. This benefit alone is enough to make people stop and think about their situation. Most people have to work one or two days a week just to pay for the gas to get themselves to their jobs! For some the toll is even higher. For home bases business owners, the cost is zero.

My commute to work every morning is walking from my bedroom to my den, which is about 100 feet. I once had a job that was a 40 minute drive each way. I literally could not afford to drive that far today the way gas prices are. Not only have I eliminated the cost, I now have 80 more minutes every day to work in my home office that I didn’t have before. That’s 6.5 hours a week of saved time and about 0 of saved money from not having to pay for gas.

I know what you are thinking as you read this. If you stop working one way and start working another, you will just have a new set of expenses to replace the old ones. Although this is true to an extent, building a home-based business does not have to be a costly endeavor. Now more than ever because of the internet, there are cheaper and better ways to generate business than the traditional networking techniques of placing newspaper ads and driving all around town to distribute pamphlets.

Most Network Marketing companies use outdated traditional methods and urge their distributors to attend monthly meetings in order to get business training. Unfortunately, these trainings won’t offer you much more than a chance to gather socially with your peers to learn outdated techniques that won’t help you grow a successful business. And with the price of fuel today, it is extremely difficult to persuade enough people to attend as your guests to make it worth your while.

The first thing you must do when starting a home-based businesses is seek proven marketing education. If your company can’t teach you how to use the internet properly without spending money you don’t have, you need to find a program that will. Proper marketing techniques such as pay per click advertising, blogging, writing articles and using youtube.com are cost efficient, effective and proven ways to attract your target audience.

It is important not to get caught up in the traps in which most people find themselves after they sign up for a network marketing company. I have seen friends join online business systems after being promised to be provided with quality leads only to find themselves deep in debt. If something is costly and doesn’t come with a money back guarantee, do not sign up for it. Even if it’s a company sponsored training. If they cannot guarantee your success from attending, don’t go.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a quality lead. Don’t let anyone tell you that a lead is worth twenty five dollars. You can find the same leads online for ten cents. The only reason these people are charging you more is so they can supplement their income by being a provider. Cut out the middle man and purchase the leads yourself. Any online broker will help you get a list of people in your target audience, and they won’t charge you an arm and a leg for them.

If you decide to go into business marketing a nutritional product, the more power you will have at saving money. You cannot be successful without being passionate about your product, and that requires consuming it on a daily basis. The cost of groceries has gone up just as much as gas prices, and buying from your own company will cut your grocery cost and increase your business at the same time.

As you can tell, working from home requires you to do some homework if you want it to be a cost-efficient endeavor. Nothing in life comes easy, but you have the power to adapt to your environment by making wise decisions about your income and future. There is no better time than now to start a home-based

Relentless Initiative Creates Opportunities

If you ever spend a holiday in Egypt, don’t forget to visit the place where the barrack of archaeologist Howard Carter used to stand one century ago. When you inquire about the exact location, your guide will point at a promontory in the sand, a small elevation in the Egyptian desert that looks no different from the other dunes.

Tourists who visit the place stand still, examine the spot, and look around, wondering if the guide is telling them truth. Those visitors are actually not interested in looking at the desert. What has brought them there is the story of Howard Carter, a man who, thanks to his curiosity and persistence, became the most famous archaeologist in History.

Despite his modest origins and lack of academic degrees, Carter’s profound interest in the history of Ancient Egypt led him to read all available books on the subject and, little by little, he earned a reputation of specialist in Egyptian antiquities. His initiative and hands-on experience in excavations led him to develop the theory that the tomb of one Pharaoh, Tutankhamen, had not yet been found.

Carter’s hypothesis conflicted with the prevalent idea at that time, held by professors and specialists alike, who sustained that all tombs in the Valley of Kings had been already found. When Carter was in his early forties, he teamed up with an English wealthy landowner, Lord Carnavon, obtained a concession to excavate the Valley of Kings and began to look for the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen.

Visit the promontory where Carter’s barrack used to stand and you will see that the sand ends abruptly at the riverbank three hundred meters down the slope. The small boats crossing the Nile these days still offer a sight that is not that different from what Howard Carter witnessed at the beginning of the 20th century.

In 1922, Carter went through the lowest point in his career and he must have spent many hours pondering his dark future and unsuccessful past, as he contemplated the boats sailing across the river. His sponsor, Lord Carnavon, had announced that he would no longer be funding Carter’s excavations beyond the end of that year.

The belief in the existence of Tutankhamen’s undiscovered tomb had not earned Carter any professional distinction. On the contrary, his theory, developed out of his own interpretation of fragments found by other archaeologists, was considered marginal and obscure.

During the previous six years, Carter had spent a good part of Lord Carnavon’s fortune in excavations in the Valley of Kings. The results had been so disappointing that Carnavon had decided to put an end to the enterprise at the end of that season.

At that time, Carter was already 48 years old and must have been looking back at his life wondering if he had done the right thing by embarking on a risky venture instead of choosing a safer career as antiquities dealer or monuments inspector. He had no money, no wife, no children, and an uncertain future.

Although he had devoted decades to studying Ancient Egypt, he had failed to secure a high-paying position. The dominant view was that Tutankhamen’s tomb had been pillaged and forgotten centuries ago. Only Carter was convinced that the tomb could still be found, buried somewhere under the sand.

Carter’s hypothesis and initiative had moved Lord Carnavon to entrust him with conducting excavations in the Valley of Kings, but six years of digging had been to no avail. In fact, the determination to search for Tutankhamen’s tomb had wasted Carter’s own life and a substantial part of Lord Carnavon’s fortune. Europe had been ravaged by World War I and Carter knew that, after his long years of failure, his chances of finding another sponsor for his excavations was nil.

Initiative is a virtue that can be taught only by example. Taking calculated risks to pursue your dream, as Howard Carter did, cannot be emphasized enough as the key to a happy and successful life. The level of risk must be assessed and minimized as much as possible, but in the end, a man must remind himself that he is going to live only once. Extraordinary value cannot be achieved by simply following prescribed routines.

Nowadays, when tourists visit the location of Carter’s wooden barrack in the Valley of Kings, their guide usually asks them to take a few steps on the sand, turn around, use their hand to shade their eyes from the sun, and look at the sign on the other side of the dune.

It is the sign that points visitors to Tutankhamen’s tomb, which Carter finally managed to find in November 1922, just when his last excavation campaign was to end. He had spent years looking for that tomb and had succeeded only a few days before Carnavon’s final deadline. Carter’s extraordinary initiative and persistence had paid off against all expectations, in direct opposition to the views of official experts and professors.
