Checklist of New Apartment

Few days ago I moved into one of the Apartments. I found some important and basic apartment checklist that should be followed before selecting a new apartment. All these things should be taken care by the landlord, with no cost to you.
  • Door Locks and handles need to work smoothly with and without the key.
  • Check every ceiling for water spots, particularly in bathrooms. Water spots mean that something is leaking, and anything leaking is a bad thing.
  • Closet door and patio door sliders need to work smoothly and glide easily. Make sure to check the patio door locking mechanism.
  • All windows and screens should slide with little effort, and all screens should be in place and not have any holes.
  • Check faucets for dripping, but more importantly, check beneath the sink for drainpipe leakage.
  • No matter what time of year it is, turn on the heat, and you will hear squeaking coming from the baseboard heaters as the metal expands. Check in all rooms to make sure the heaters are warming up. Do the same with the air conditioning.
  • Check the walls for marks and holes. Be diligent about this, and write down any blemish that you see.
  • Check every outlet to make sure it works, by plugging a small electrical appliance like a hairdryer or a fan into each one.

Tips to Deal with Children

It is simple often not so simple job of raising children’s care. The primary issues and challenges impacting children these days are drinking, hooking up to acne, tattoos to SATs, and much, much more. Getting the scoop on what’s happening with child if they are in between 11 and 20 is quite essential. It is one of those essential facts of life that raising children of character demands time and attention. It seems to be nothing more difficult for parents to tolerate than seeing their kids bond with a negative peer group. Its Parents responsibility makes their children become good.

Teens, kids often lie to protect their privacy and to establish their newfound independence.- ask specific questions and get specific answers, punishments, such as grounding and withdrawal of privileges, won’t stop teenagers from being dishonest. Listen to what your kid say, and don't give lecture instead give suggestions. Don't try to change your teens. Let them be who they are, not who you think they should be.

Instead of expecting them to change their behavior, change yours. What you're doing isn't working, right? Consistently being firm over a period of time will let them know what is expected of them. Be good example- human beings learn primarily through modeling. In fact, you can’t avoid being an example to your children, whether good or bad. Being a good example, then, is probably your most important job.

Punishment has a bad reputation. The results are guilt-ridden parents and self-indulgent, out-of-control children. Children need limits. They will ignore these limits on occasion. Reasonable punishment is one of the ways human beings have always learned. Children must understand what punishment is for and know that its source is parental love. Punish with Loving heart.

Interview Tips for Rental Apartment

I want to share some tips for those who are moving to their new rental apartment. These tips are not like routine tips you find in the some websites. These tips are different and will work if they are implemented with prior plan and preparation. The script for these tips is prepared by me when I am moving to my current Miami apartment. I have executed them and found positive results. So I thought I would share them for those are about to move to their new apartments. Here they are:
  • Get a head start. Save time-and stand out in a crowd of applicants-by bringing a copy of your credit report and a completed rental application to your interviews.
  • Don't miss the bus. As with job interviews, first impressions are often lasting. So it is better to arrive early than to be late for an interview appointment.
  • Let there be light. Visit prospective apartments in the daytime so you will able to know how much natural light to expect and any problems will be easier to see. Walk through the neighborhood at night to see outdoor lighting and street culture.
  • Measure up. Record the sizes of your big-ticket furniture, and bring a tape measure with you to measure apartment doors. If you find a great apartment but it's too small for all of your stuff, decide in advance what you'd be willing to sell, store or get rid of so you aren't held back by indecision.
  • Sell yourself. Apartment searches aren't really the best time for club-kid duds, dark-angel Goth or bed head casual. You'll be meeting prospective landlords, so however you dress, you want to give the impression that you'll be on time with your rent and you'll be a good caretaker of the apartment.

Tips on Choosing the Right Roommate

I would like to share some tips on choosing a roommate for all those who are living in any of the Philadelphia Apartments. One would like to have a roommate whom he/she wants to see every day in the morning and last at night. On the other hand no body wants to have roommates who irritate, make skin crawl, make face turn red with anger and smoke blow from ears. One can avoid these using some tips I mention here.

  • For a roommate to be right for you, find a roommate those who are roughly as clean or as messy as you are. Because neat goes with neat, and messy goes with messy.
  • Choose some one who can discuss with you in financial matters. Because, the common aspects of splits between roommates arises by financial matters on bills of electricity, gas, cable, internet and possibly furniture.
  • Have discussion and make clear preferences on inviting friends over. If you don’t like having your roommate's friends over all the time or letting friends sleep on the couch, it will be a source of tension.
  • Have understanding in between, how late or early you go to bed and how sound of a sleeper you are. Do you mind it if your roommate always had people over who talked loudly late into the night? Do you mind having an early-to-bed roommate who always shouting to turn down the TV to near silent levels?
Do not choose a person for his/her likeability but for his/her compatibility. Friends may not always become the best roommates. You see your friends on a limited basis, so neither of you has to deal regularly with each other's idiosyncrasies. This would change once you became roommates, and your friendship could be strained as a result. So, make sure you're especially honest about your lifestyle preferences when discussing rooming with a friend.

Health Care Advices

Health is commonly thought of as the absence of disease, and indeed it is difficult to discuss one without the other. Preventive care is a valuable tool in maintaining good health. As a result of having regular medical check-ups one can often identify problems and be careful of them before they turn out to be serious enough to be life threatening.

It is good for the people to have medical checkups for at least once in every five years until age 40 and after that, for every one to two years, depending on what his/her doctor decides is best. Another rule of thumb suggests: individuals in their twenties should have two exams during that time period; in their thirties, three exams; forties, four exams, with an annual health exam recommended for those over 50.

Some tests that regularly required to take up by any individual:
  • Blood Pressures
  • Urinalysis
  • Blood Tests
  • Chest X-Ray
  • EKG (Electrocardiogram)
  • Cancer Testing
The fundamental goals of health promotion and health maintenance are safe surroundings, enhanced immunity and resistance, sensible behavior, good nutrition and diet, well-born children, and wise health care.

Online Shopping for Gifts

I hate to park my vehicle in front of retail stores where I hardly find space. Cities are overcrowded. People have less time to visit stores and buy needed things. Everything is packaged under certain quality standards. Probably in this situation “Click Here”, “Just Click” works. In a country as large as the USA, with friends and relatives spread out over thousands of miles, shopping on the Internet was a lifesaver. Lots of choices, good prices and NO trips to the Post Office! Just one click can send gifts to the loved ones on special days no matter where they are. Technology now a days is so simple that any Tom, Dick or Harry can use it from the place are at, why not we people use it.

Effects of Smoking on Health

Many people and media outlets will tell you exactly what the impact of smoking on body is. Internal organs: mouth, pharynx, larynx, food pipe, lungs, liver, pancreas, kidney, stomach, bladder, and cervix are the areas of body that are most affected by the habit of smoking. The cancers and chronic lung infections that come from smoking not only occurs from first-hand smoking, but also from second-hand smoking as well.
Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, bronchitis and emphysema, which are terrible to comprehend. Half of the smokers who die from this habit are middle aged. To sum it all up, the longer you smoke and the amount of cigarettes you smoke all pose a greater risk of getting any of these diseases. There is also an increased chance of getting a form of lymph gland leukaemia, more widely known as Hodgkin’s disease.
Not only the body inside is affected area with smoking, but, also outer body to go through changes. Smoking alters the skin where there is an increase in the age of your skin. Individuals who smoke have skin that wrinkles up to 20 years earlier than those who don’t.
I accept that it is impossible for anyone to be a smoker and not know about the consequences of smoking. In other words, you are damaging yourself because of the habit, and you hardly know exactly the extent of the damage.

Sea Sailing- What a fabulous day!!

For many years I have thought about a sailing adventure somewhere in the world - before getting too old. The sagas was about sailing off the Maine coast are legendary. It was great to get a coastal ride on a beautiful boat, especially with sails. I’ve already rode on motor boats, it definitely has a different & smooth ride.

The day was perfect! This was my first time sailing out in the ocean and going at quite a speed. All I can say is wow, I loved it and I am hooked! Our trip started on a beautiful sunny day and ended with a little rain and a foggy morning. No matter what the weather or wind conditions a day on the water is always better then a day at the office. We were lucky to have good weather, lucky to see lots of sea life. We had a marvelous time. The sailing was beautiful, wonderful tour of all the islands and local points of interest. It was all the better with the arrival of dolphins and seals.

Thank you so much for a wonderful day and entertaining evenings. We had a great time! We were so happy for that burst of wind that cleared the fog. This was our first sailing trip and it seems that Mother Nature wished for us to go.

Small Business Share of GDP

In United States, in the economy, small businesses continue to play a vital role, during the 1998-2004 time period. The small business share of private non farm GDP held relatively steady from 1998 through 2004 at 50 percent of the total. However, there is a more dynamic picture when looking at the individual industries. While the small business share of many individual industries continued to decline during this time period, the share stabilized in the other services sector and rose slightly in the manufacturing sector.

The heavily small business dominated sectors of construction and professional and technical services saw their small business shares reduced over this time period
But, the rapid growth in the size and number of all the businesses in several of the small-business dominated sectors of the economy offset the decline in the small business share of several of the individual industries and resulted in a stable share for small business GDP overall.

There are methods of extending the estimates of small business GDP beyond the current benchmark and using new data sources and different methodology to improve the estimates in the future.
