A lot of great ideas happen when two or more other ideas collide to form something completely new. Think of this like those old chemistry movies we used to watch in school. You had all of those atoms floating around and when two collided — bam! A chemical reaction. Maybe something new was created. Maybe something exploded. Or maybe it all fizzled out and nothing happened. Well, a similar reaction is going on inside your brain or muse. Except instead of atoms floating around they’re pieces of information or other ideas. As they drift about, they occasionally bump into each other. When that happens, you may get a new, third idea. Or a big explosion. Or absolutely nothing at all. Now, if you have lots of atoms, or information and ideas, you’re going to get lots of reactions. Some will fail. Some will be so-so. And some will be hot — so hot, so full of energy, they’ll have the power to change the trajectory of a business. Or even a life. The problem occurs when you don’t have lots of random information and ideas. Fewer atoms mean fewer reactions. On top of that, you still have to weed through the invariable duds. So the odds of landing that one amazing idea drop considerably. But not to worry — there’s good news. You can increase your odds of getting those great ideas. Better yet, it’s fairly easy and painless. Below are three ways to get started. 1. Read, read and read some more. I know, I know, I can hear the groans already. “But I already have too much to read. How can I fit more reading in?” Never fear, there are ways to do this. (Remember I did say this was painless.) The key is to keep it wide and shallow. What does that mean? Well, read lots and lots of different things, but keep it general. Read about sheep farming, finances, yoga, cooking, traveling, dog training, etc. But keep it general — don’t read deeply. You can even skim if that’s all you have time for. Start by subscribing to a couple of different magazines and e-zines. General interest magazines are really good for this — Walt Disney used to read Reader’s Digest. Scatter them around the house — by the bed, the couch, even the bathroom. I’d put a few in your car as well for those times when you have to wait for an appointment. When you have a few moments, flip through them. Skim a few paragraphs. See what catches your eye. You can also buy or rent audio books and CDs and listen while you exercise, drive, do the dishes, etc. Whatever you do, DON’T read publications related to your industry. That’s for another time. This is brain-feeding time, not keeping up in your profession time. 2. Travel the world. Traveling has so many fabulous benefits for your creative soul I could write an article just about that, but for now I’ll limit my comments to brain food. When you travel, you open yourself up to lots of new and exciting experiences. New sights, new sounds, new smells, new tastes, new textures. And they all have the ability to form a reaction with something else. Don’t have time to hop on a plane to India? Take a day trip to a town you’ve never visited. Or, if you can only spare a few hours, seek out a park you’ve never been to or a museum you’ve been meaning to see or even that new cute little shop that just opened. You can always find somewhere new to visit no matter how long you’ve lived in the same city. And if you’re truly desperate, try walking around your neighborhood on the opposite side of the street in the opposite direction you normally walk. (It can help jolt you out of rut.) 3. Open yourself up to new things. Of all of these, this one is probably the scariest. But, it also has the potential to be the most powerful. Take the time to try new things. Meet people outside your normal circle of friends. Attend associations, nonprofits, hobby groups outside of the ones you usually go to. Listen to speakers on topics you know nothing about. Take a class at a community college about something outside your scope of knowledge. Or even have dinner at an ethnic restaurant you’ve never tried. Now I’m not just talking about “typical” creative things, like taking an art class or learning to belly dance. If you’re a creative professional, take a class on doing your own taxes or budgeting your finances or repairing your car. (Oooh, I bet all you creative folk felt a chill when I mentioned that.) The point is to really stretch yourself past your comfort zone. Make yourself uncomfortable. It’s not only a great way to grow, but it’s a fabulous way to keep your muse fat and happy. And that helps keep the ideas flowing. Creativity Exercises — Prepare the banquet Over the next month, I want you do to at least one tactic from each of the above three techniques. 1. Read something you know nothing about. Even if you only spend five minutes skimming an article about quilting when the last time you tried to sew a button on a shirt you stabbed yourself with the needle and got blood all over the material. 2. Travel somewhere you’ve never been before. Even if it’s an antique shop and the most antique piece of furniture in your house is a bookshelf your parents bought from Sears when you were a little kid. 3. Stretch yourself in a different and potentially scary way. Even if it’s attending one of those Home Depot gardening workshops despite every plant you’ve tried to grow didn’t and if your thumb was any blacker it would fall off. You know how you work better when you’re not hungry, see how well your muse starts churning out ideas after a good meal. Michele Pariza Wacek is the author of “Got Ideas?

I’m a publisher for numerous sites. I HATE many of your articles. Here’s why I hate your first paragraph and what you can do about it. A Biggie First paragraphs are a huge issue with me. Better to have died a small child than get this one wrong. If you can get just this one thing right, your publication rates will go through the roof. Unfortunately, almost nobody does it correctly. The entire issue comes down to meta tagging. When I create a page on a site for an article, I have to enter the meta title and meta description. Your headline is the meta title and your first paragraph should be the meta description. If your first paragraph doesn’t fit my meta description needs, I will blow by your articles like a debutante on Rodeo Drive with a new credit card. I don’t have time to re-write your masterpiece. Don’t make me. Here is what I want: 1. No more than 38 words. 2. Preferably two sentences. 3. Your keywords in the first sentence. Now, that seems easy enough, but none of you do it. Instead, you charge right into the body of your article and write these truly horrific 10 line first paragraphs. I HATE these. I will not publish you. I may decide to never look at your articles again. Writing articles can be a challenge. Often, the best way is to just start writing. I have no problem with this approach. All I ask is that you write a two-sentence introduction after you have finished the article. Scroll back up to the first paragraph of this article. What do you see? Three short sentences totaling 26 words. The keywords, “publisher” and “first paragraph” are contained within the three sentences. When I publish this article, I will copy the first paragraph and slam it into my meta description. Wham! Bamn! I’m off to the next article. This approach has a huge benefit for you as well. When I publish articles in this format on sites, the articles will appear high in the search rankings for Google, Yahoo and MSN. Put another way, you will be able to piggyback my high ranking sites and get your article in front of your target audience. This means traffic for both you and me, which should make us both happy. The first paragraph is extremely important. I will look past crappy headlines and ungodly spelling errors if you write a good first paragraph. I am a lazy person. Make my job easy and you will benefit.

Many have a dream of a creative writing career. You may dream of writing the great American novel, or becoming the next Poe. If you are serious about becoming a writer, there are several things you should do and keep in mind. Write everyday as much as you can. Writing is not like riding a bike. If you stop writing and go back to it 5 years later, you probably won’t be nearly as good, let alone better. If you want to become a great writer you have to practice all the time. That means everyday. That means setting a certain amount of time to write everyday. Stop right now, check your calendar, and right in a time for everyday that you will write. Write creatively, not like a high school essay. You probably hated writing essays in school. They told you to have an introduction paragraph, the body, and the conclusion. Then they said to do the same with each paragraph. Don’t use I and sound really boring. Okay, they might not have said that, but generally, most essays sounded very formal. If you enjoyed writing unique, creative essays, then you are on the right track. I’m not saying to forget everything you’ve learned about writing, I’m just saying that creative writing is much less formal. You want to engage your writer and keep them interested. Don’t let boring monotony kill your story! Edit your work over and over. I have come across some people’s writing that was just awful. It was a good story and may have had potential, but it was very poorly written and seemed as though they wrote it once and never looked at it again. If you are writing a piece that you are serious about, especially if you want to publish it, you need to make sure that it is perfect. Print it up, if possible, and read through it a few days after you wrote it. Analyze it and make sure it’s perfect. Then have someone else that you trust go through it as well. Don’t give up! For me, writing has always been my dream. I write all the time and I’ve always wanted to be a successful writer. People are always telling me that I am a great writer. If you want to succeed, you can’t give up. Just keep writing and trying to accomplish what you want to accomplish. If you want to publish a novel, do whatever you can to do it. Write your novel and edit it until you feel it’s perfect. Have a few trusted friends read it and give you some constructive criticism. Send out some query letters to agents and do everything you can to get it published. If you get some poor reactions and you feel like the novel won’t work decide if you feel like it really is good enough to publish and self-publish it, if not, move onto the next novel. Don’t stop doing what you love. If you really want to succeed, giving up is the worst way to do it. Keep writing and editing, writing and editing, and you just may accomplish your dreams! Do you really want to be successful writer? Follow these creative writing tips and find out more at ExpressitinWords.com. Follow your dreams and accomplish your writing goals.

Kavita Nayar - Contemporary Indian Artist Indian art has treated a wide range of human emotions, sentiments and attitudes with expressionistic exaggeration as compared to any other art in the world. From the ancient tradition of sculpture we have many forms which are’ grotesque ‘ in appearance. This word is commonly applied to any odd or fantastically absurd form which is bizarre, unrealistic and non-existent. I intend to take up the term ‘grotesque’ as the synonym for ‘Veebhatsa’ according to the theory of Indian aesthetics. In the age old Indian theory of ‘Rasa’(aesthetic emotion of flavour), ‘Veebhatsa’ is having qualities for defining ‘grotesque’.Among the nine stable sentiments and emotions (Rasa)’ Shant’ rasa is generally considered to be predominant in Indian Art aiming at’ Moksha ‘.But the Indian artists show no dismay nor hesitation in producing images that are repellent and absurdly fantastic .The’ Dasarupa’ plainly asserts that ‘beauty’is absolutely independant of the sympathetic .According to Dr. Coomarswamy “Beauty can be dreadful or disgusting , exalted or lowly , cruel or kindly,obscure or refined,actual or imaginary .”He further says that there is no subject that can not evoke rasa or ‘Brahma Swadan’ in man .The absolute which is neither created nor destroyed but can be invoked and mentally Realized. The urge for communication is instinctive in social man. He wants to communicate his desires, his feelings, his emotions, in short, his total being. The mode and manner of communication determines the form and meaningfulness of the content. Terms like ‘Bhava’ and ‘Rasa’ to the writers of the Indian ‘Shilpa shastra ‘ relate to the meaningfulness and hence to the content of the works of art. The indian imagination is one which has wandered freely crossing the barriers of naturalism or reality whenever it willed and has often taken recourse towards the supernatural. Indeed our myths, which are the key to the indian thought are an extension of the real into the ‘unreal ‘.Our belief in the fusion of these two ‘worlds’is unique and profound .It is, thus that animals are given human characters without hesitation in stories and plays, plants are tended and loved as children; the groves and forests of our epics are peopled with an endless variety of strange beings,’Nagas’,’yakshas ‘, ‘Apsaras ‘, demons and ghosts. Our gods recast there beings into any natural forms. Change, mutability and synthesis are inherent in the characters of the myths .Bizzare Combinations such as that of ‘Ganesha’with his elephant head, four arms and human body, ‘Narsimha’ with his lion head and a human body, ‘Chamunda’and ‘Kali’ in their terrifying aspects which alongwith other similar folk beliefs are absorbed effortlessly into the traditional stories, epics and visual arts. In the West grotesque also has a history in visual arts. It has prevailed right from the Roman sculptures to Brueghel, Bosch and finally to Francis Bacon. If the ancient grotesque forms are epic and folk originated, the modern absurd forms are comparatively personal and limited, but it need not however be universal. The modern myths are created only by individuals who project their private worlds through works of art and thus the introspective strain seems to continue. In contemporary works many artists have attempted to create different kinds and degrees of ‘grotesque’forms. Their works have been conditioned by one of the nine ‘Rasas’-the ‘Veebhatsa’(Grotesque). Though there are many artists falling into this category, Jogen Chowdhry, Bhupen Khakhar , F.N.Souza and Earlier works of A. Ramachandran in particular stand out in this aspect. I feel, while all of them have incorporated the element of ‘Grotesque’ in a major way, they have at the same time, a marked individuality. I have decided to take up these artists because inspite of their uniqueness, their Styles seem to be ultimately pre-occupied with the same quest -The creation of the ‘Grotesque’.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States after cardiovascular or heart disease. Cancer affects all age group, children adolescent and elderly alike. The American Cancer society estimated that one in two males and one in three females will have cancer during their lifetime. As age adjusted cancer mortality rates increase and heart disease mortality decreases, it is predicted that cancer will become the leading cause of death in a few decades. Trends in cancer survival demonstrate that relative 5 year survival rates have improved since the early 1960’s. It is estimated that approximately 59% of people who develop cancer each year will be alive 5 years later Cancer is not a single disease. The term describes almost all forms of malignant neoplasia. Cancer can originate from almost any organ, with the prostate being the most common site in men and breast in women. The ability of cancer to be cured varies considerably and depends on the type of cancer and the extent of the disease at diagnosis. I will make articles like concepts of cell growth, characteristics of benign and malignant cancer, carcinogenesis and causes of cancer, diagnosis and treatment in the near future, I should first research for it so that all information that you can get here are correct and precise. As a nurse, our practice covers all age groups and nursing specialties and is carried out in a variety of health care settings, including the home, community, acute care institutions, and rehabilitation centers. The scope, responsibilities and goals of cancer nursing also called oncology nursing, are as diverse and complex as those of any nursing specialty. Because many people associate cancer with pain and death, nurses need to identify their own reactions to cancer and set realistic goals to meet the challenges in caring for patients with cancer. In addition, the onco nurse must be prepared to support the patient and family through a wide range of physical, emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual crises. .promdinurses.com

Okay, you’re ready to write the ad of a lifetime. The one that will pull like crazy and leave them begging for your product. So, do you whet their appetite with a short and sweet ad? Or write a long-copy ad that’s stuffed with information? Rules vs Studies The 80-20 rule says 80% of the people only read the headline (and maybe a caption, if you have one). But the fact is, readers will read a long-copy ad. One McGraw-Hill study looked at 3,597 ads in 26 business magazines. What they discovered was that ads with 300 or more words were more effective that shorter ads in creating product awareness, inducing action and reinforcing the decision to buy. Another ad for Merrill Lynch crammed 6, 450 words into a single New York Times page. It pulled over 10,000 responses

A sad thing has occurred - the death of a loved one. And you will be the one to present their Eulogy at the memorial service. Unfortunately, you’ve never done it before and if you are like most who have found themselves in your same situation, a few good eulogy examples would truly help you prepare this eulogy. It would be a good idea for you to first do a search for some eulogy examples on the web or even at your local library. You could look at some famous people eulogies to get an idea of what they have said, but truthfully, these are probably not suited to your specific needs. Let’s take a look at what a good eulogy should consist of. Mostly you need to remember that even though you and those who will attend the memorial service are grieving and the natural inclination is to share your grief in the eulogy, this is not actually what you want to do. You want to create a eulogy that celebrates the life of the person who has passed on. In most of the eulogy examples that you can find you will see that they honor the person. They speak to their good qualities and the positive ways that they affected others. Occasionally, you may find yourself in a situation where the deceased person had qualities that were more negative than positive and this can be a challenge. Yes, probably this needs to be acknowledged, but look at the eulogy examples here to see how this was addressed. Mostly what you need to keep in mind is that a eulogy is a well-written, meaningful, and insightful recognition and celebration of a person’s life and their accomplishments. Another thing to consider about the eulogy, is not just how you write it, but your delivery of it. Again, you are celebrating the person’s life. You are honoring that person. So when you see some eulogy examples that you find, imagine how the speaker delivered this speech. If possible, try to find some footage that you can view of people who have delivered beautiful eulogies. Remember this as well, if you are well prepared you will do much to help alleviate the grief of others as well as yourself.

A very important lesson that every one of us has been taught in our childhood is that expenditure should be less then our income. But with the changing times, developing society and the extravagant living, following this preaching has grown difficult. As a result we end up not only spending more then our income but also getting more money from outside sources as loan. With time people start taking more loans for and due to mismanagement of loan repayments, end up in debts. Now trapped with heavy debts, getting a loan becomes difficult. Whenever you go to some lender to get a loan, he does a credit check and on finding about your bad credit due to heavy debts he rejects your loan application. But there are some lenders who give loans especially to people with bad credit at a high risk and that too without the need for any security. You can find about such lenders online by using the various search engines. You may also consult friends and relatives about such loans and lenders before involving yourself in that. Online and offline you will get a list of such lenders and their rate of interest, repayment period and other such details. Make a thorough research using these details, compare them and finally choose the one you think would work out best. These loans being without security are offered at a very high rate of interest. This works out good for the lenders as they get money whenever repaid and the repayment risk is reduced slightly. You too are benefited by this as you can get loan to pay off your debts and improve your financial condition. Using this one loan you can pay the rest debts and pay this loan with little worry in your mind. Christian Phelps is a Masters in Accounting and Financial Management from Lancaster University.
