Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ - Home Business Tips - 2 "Must-Know" Tips For Making Serious Profits in This Shaky Economy
Recession has hit some of the large businesses and the most visible damages have been in the banking and financial sectors. But the small businesses have not had such an impact and have been self sufficient and sustainable. If you are planning to start a business from home, which is considered as a small business then you need not worry about the recession. What you need to worry about is the type of business you should start. The question is how do you go about selecting the right home business? Here are two important tips for success in your own venture
The first important tip is to dig deeper and try to identify your strengths and your experience. If your CV says that you have an experience of 7 years in Graphic Design and 3 years in Sales/Marketing then you should go with the former. There is a dearth of good graphic designers and there are loads of projects available on online Freelance portals. All you need to do is establish a company name and display your portfolio online. The crux of the matter is that you need to go with what you know and have hands on experience in rather than jump into unknown territory.
The second home business tip is to formulate a cost strategy that will help you to work out your ROI in the long-term. Most home businesses don't require huge finances and if you are doing an online business then your expenses are bound to be low. Most of the expenses for your online business will include computer/PC, internet, and Domain.

This Week in Health Care Reform

This Week in Health Care Reform
While still technically in recess, members of Congress trickled back to Washington, D.C. this week to get a jump start on reconciling the health care reform bills passed by the House and Senate last year.
On Tuesday, Democratic leaders began conversations around a final package, pledging to overcome differences and aiming to have a bill passed by the President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address, anticipated in early February. Members of the news media, however, have highlighted the difficult negotiations ahead, given some major differences in the proposed packages and the time pressure being imposed by President Obama.
We continue to encourage you and others to engage members of Congress during this debate by visiting the Health Action Network.
Health Reform Negotiations
Senate Passes Reform Bill: At 7:05 a.m. on Christmas Eve, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), along with 59 other Senate members, voted to pass reform legislation that, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), would expand health coverage to approximately 31 million people at a cost of $871 billion over 10 years. The bill passed on party lines (60-39), without a single Republican vote in favor. Republicans believe the bill would impose many regulatory and financial burdens on taxpayers and businesses while increasing government debt.
Reconciliation Poses Difficult Road Ahead: Before lawmakers can present a final health care reform bill to President Obama, the approved Senate bill needs to be merged with the House version passed in November 2009, which extends coverage to 36 million Americans at a cost of about $1 trillion. However, the bills have some major differences that will need to be addressed as lawmakers shape the final package, including:
* Insurance market reform and exchanges - Both bills would bar insurers from denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions and from dropping coverage for those who get sick. Both would also create insurance exchanges through which small businesses and individuals could shop for insurance. The Senate bill would create state-based exchanges, however, whereas the House bill would create a national exchange with an option for states to run state-based programs if they meet certain requirements.
* The government-run plan - A government-run plan was a central component to the House bill. The Senate bill would instead direct the U.S. Office of Personnel Management to contract with private insurance companies to offer policies on the exchanges. Despite much commotion over the need to include the public option, House leaders conceded Tuesday that they may be willing to agree to a bill without a public option if other parts of the bill fulfill the same goals, with the hope of expanding available subsidies.
* Reform financing - Members of the House would pay for the reform effort - which carries a price tag of about $1 trillion - through a 5.4 percent surtax on individuals making more than $500,000 a year and couples making more than $1 million and by imposing a 2.5 percent excise tax on medical devices. Members of the Senate, on the other hand, plan to pay for their $871 billion plan through several measures:
- a 40 percent excise tax on high-cost health insurance plans;
- an increase in payroll taxes for Medicare on individuals making more than $200,000 a year and couples making more than $250,000 per year;
- fees on insurers, medical device manufacturers and drug companies;
- and, a 10 percent tax on indoor tanning salons.
On Wednesday, President Obama expressed his preference for the insurance tax contained in the Senate bill, but the excise tax is strongly opposed by labor unions.
* Coverage Mandates - Both bills require that individuals obtain health insurance and impose a penalty on those who do not. The House bill also includes an employer mandate for companies with payrolls above $750,000. The Senate bill does not include this mandate but would require companies with more than 50 employees to pay a fine if employees obtain federally subsidized coverage on the insurance exchange.
* Medicaid expansion - Both bills expand Medicaid. The Senate bill makes Medicaid available to those with incomes up to 133 percent of the poverty level, whereas the House allows for coverage for those with incomes up to 150 percent of the poverty level.
* Abortion - While both bills bar the use of federal funds for abortions, the House bill includes stricter language requiring anyone seeking abortion coverage to buy separate insurance riders. The Senate bill would let the states choose whether or not to include plans with abortion coverage in the insurance exchange and would require those with abortion coverage to write a separate check for this insurance.
President Obama Pushes Swift Action: In a meeting at the White House Tuesday, President Obama encouraged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), as well as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), who participated via phone, to bypass the traditional conference committee used to negotiate reconciliation, in the interest of time. The move, which creates a three-way negotiating construct involving top Democrats in the House and Senate and the White House, will exclude Republican lawmakers from the debate and reduce their ability to delay the voting.
Further, President Obama indicated that he would be taking a hands-on approach to the final stages of the negotiations. The President held another meeting with leading Democrats on Wednesday to help iron out differences between the House and Senate bills. Democrats also held a noon meeting and conference call on Thursday to discuss how reconciliation will proceed and some of the priorities for the final bill.
Additional Activities
C-SPAN Calls for Transparency: Noting that President Obama mentioned several times during his campaign that health care negotiations would be transparent and broadcasted on C-SPAN, Brian Lamb, C-SPAN CEO, sent a letter to House and Senate leaders on December 30 asking for negotiations to be opened up for public viewing. Republicans pointed out that the most critical discussions on health reform have taken place behind closed doors so far. Top House Democrats deflected the C-SPAN request, saying the process has been highly transparent through more than 100 public hearings held by the House. They pledged to make the final stages transparent in part via the Internet.
Opponents Question Constitutionality: On Wednesday, December 30, Republican attorneys general in 13 states - including Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Michigan and Virginia - sent a letter to Sens. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid stating that Congressional leaders must remove the amendment exempting Nebraska from having to pay for the state's Medicaid expansion. The prosecutors are calling the deal unconstitutional and threatened legal action. Members of the news media report that South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster and Oklahoma top prosecutor Drew Edmondson are asking attorneys general across the country to call on Sens. Pelosi and Reid to remove the provision.
In addition, a contingency of legal scholars as well as many Republican lawmakers are calling the measures passed by both the House and the Senate unconstitutional , primarily due to the inclusion of an individual mandate. "In the history of this country, the federal government has never required every American to enter into a contract with a private company," said Randy Barnett, a professor of constitutional law at Georgetown University Law Center.
Looking Ahead
Formal sessions in Congress are scheduled to begin January 19, 2010. Sen. Pelosi, however, plans to continue to work with key committee chairs and other Democratic leaders prior to the official sessions..

How To Apply Fake Tan / Spray Tan Application Instructions And Techniques – Achieve Self Tan Perfection With This Handy Guide To Applying Self Tanners
June 21, 2010 by admin
Filed under Tanning Articles
Preparing the skin prior to self tanning
Prior to applying any self tanning products you should first ensure that you have exfoliated the skin well. The purpose of exfoliating is to remove all the top layers of dead skin that would otherwise flake off naturally and unevenly, taking your new tan with them. Through not exfoliating prior to applying a self tanning product, the uneven natural shedding of your dead skin cells leads to the common ‘snake-skin' patchy tanned look that many people often refer to, which is easily avoided by exfoliating first.
You should always wax or shave at least 24 hours prior to fake tanning, as this allows the skin to calm down and settle before any self tanning products are applied. When applying the self tanning product, for best results you should not mix the product with any other body lotions as this could dilute the tanning agent (resulting in a lighter tan), or the ingredients of the two products could conflict (resulting in no tan or a poor quality result). If you need to use any skin products prior to tanning you should apply them well in advance and ensure they have been completely absorbed before applying the self tanner.
If you have stubborn areas that always go darker when tanning, try using a barrier cream (a rich moisturiser) on them to stop those areas soaking up too much of the product and going too dark. This is generally only the case where the skin is harder, such as knees, elbows, ankles, feet, etc. Try applying only a very small amount of the product on these areas first until you get used to the amount you need to keep the colour even all over.
Self Tan Application:
For best results, apply the self tanning product straight after a shower. Avoid washing with shower gels and soaps high in alkaline as your skin should be neutral when applying the products. Apply the self tanning product evenly all over the body, taking time to ensure you're applying it evenly and not putting on too much – remember you can always apply another layer later if you want to go darker. It's often advised to use tanning gloves when applying fake tan to help prevent your palms from getting tanned, but as long as you scrub your hands with soap and hot water very well after you've finished applying, this will help ensure your palms don't end up tanned once the product develops in colour. Also, be careful when you're washing your hands not to splash the water onto your freshly tanned body as this can end up in small splash marks being visible after the tan has developed (where the water has washed off the product). To tan the back of your hands, apply a small amount of self tanner with cotton wool, sponge or a tissue onto the back of your hands after you have washed them; also wipe around your wrists to avoid any marks. Alternatively, apply a small amount of fake tan to the back of one hand and rub the back of both hands together. Then use a tissue to remove any fake tan from the palms and fingernails.
Depending on what fake tan product you've used, you'll either have to wait to get dressed for 10-15 minutes whilst the product dries, or in some cases there are products that dry instantly and allow you to get dressed straight away - such as Famous Dave's Self Tanning range. Some self tanning products give you an instant colour, which is ideal if you are going out straight away to an event, but some self tanning products don't have a guide colour and instead go on like a moisturiser and develop naturally over 4-6 hours, which you need to allow for in advance if you're heading out in the evening and want some colour.
The colour that develops from self tanning products can vary massively. Typically with self tanning you get what you pay for, therefore don't go for the cheap products as there will be a strong chance you'll end up with an undesirable end colour and tarnish your impression of what a good fake tan should look like. Instead you should be looking to spend £20+ on a bottle of self tanning lotion, as these products will have excellent ingredients and result in a very natural tanned colour being achieved. The better and more expensive products will often last you longer because you won't need to apply as much, therefore becoming more cost-effective over the long-term. You'll also end up with a tan that you'll never want to lose!
Apply one coat of self tan at a time, let that develop and then if you want to go darker re-apply in 12-24 hours. Don't re-apply too soon as this can affect the final result and the tan is more likely to flake off. Don't shower too soon after applying the tanning product either, it needs time to develop and by showering within a few hours after application could result in some of the product being washed off and not giving you a colour. The same can be said of physical activity too soon after application, perspiration can also end up in the product coming off prior to developing in colour affecting the overall result. If you still don't get the colour you were hoping, you may have applied too much moisturiser prior to tanning, not used enough of the product, or even used too much of the product. It's very often trial and error to begin with, but once you've applied a fake tan product a couple of times you'll know exactly what you're doing and perfect the colour you're looking for.
Maintaining your colour:
To maximise the length of time your tan lasts, you should use a high quality moisturiser daily to keep your skin moisturised and less likely to flake prematurely. You should also exfoliate lightly several days after applying the self tanning product to naturally remove the dead skin cells evenly instead of them flaking off unevenly. Prolong your tan further by applying a tan extender or gradual tanner in between full applications.
