It used to be the case that if you wanted to obtain a bachelor’s degree without physically being present at the institution providing the course, you needed to undertake a distant learning course. In most cases, those who graduated with a bachelor’s degree obtained from a distant learning course were afforded less respect for their achievements than those who completed their studies on-site. The advent of the Internet, however, has completely changed the sphere of distance learning. Today distance learning is a huge industry, worth billions of dollars a year, and you can achieve an online bachelor’s degree at almost any institution of learning in the world. So, how do you go about deciding which online bachelor’s degree program to study? To help you, here are 3 questions to ask yourself before embarking on your quest: 1. What do I really want to learn? The traditional learning process was to select a number of courses you might want to study and then to apply to the universities r...

We have all misplaced our keys from time to time. The item that has gone missing in my home have been articles of clothing, paperwork, and tools. Once I searched, at length, for a half-gallon of milk that I knew I had seen on the counter. I found it in the cabinet where I keep the glasses. There is a method to my madness. Sometimes items go missing because we’re distracted due to over-scheduling. While we are in our twenties and thirties, forgetfulness is a source of mirth. When we hit our forties, forgetfulness can become a source of anxiety. I have three tips for maintaining a healthy mind, as we age. 1. Take a Walk. Studies have shown that people who walk for thirty minutes a day, three days a week, are healthier and more mentally alert than those who do not. 2. Break Up the Monotony. Do something different every day. If you normally brush your teeth with your right hand, use your left. If possible, take a different route to work. Disrupt your routine in small ways. If you wash y...

In watching the PGA Championship this year, I marveled at how Tiger came from nowhere and finished in 3rd place at 2 under par (2 shots off of the lead). If Phil Mickelson hadn’t hung on, this performance of Tiger’s could have tied or even won the championship. It’s Tiger’s unbelievable perseverance that’s lead me to write this tip. Tiger’s Perseverance Have you also noticed that just when you think Tiger is totally out of it, he’s back in it? Do you ever wonder why this is? It’s because Tiger never gives up. He knows that anything could happen in this game. He knows the pressure that is associated with this game and the pressure that is put on the other players who are in the lead. Tiger can withstand this pressure, whereas, other pros cannot. He knows that in major tournaments, the field will usually come back to him. So if he can grind away and just get a couple of shots back on the field he’s right back in the hunt. If Tiger was someone who gave up when he was playing poorly, he...

The U.S. Small Business Administration estimates that more than 580,000 small businesses will start up this year. Unfortunately, about 576,000 small businesses will fail during that same time period. So how can entrepreneurs hedge the odds in their favor? One way is to start a Web-based business or take your current business online. Internet businesses sell merchandise, services, information, and most anything a traditional brick-and-mortar business can sell-but often with a smaller operating cost because they only conduct business online. Brandon Lewis, president of StoresOnline, offers these tips to help online entrepreneurs make the most out of their companies: Know Your Audience A common online marketing mistake is to try to target too many audiences. There are 938 million users on the Internet. Marketing to all of those eyeballs is simply not effective and can be very costly.

Seemingly more and more Americans are having trouble sleeping. This pattern is on the increase. Insomnia can start out with a couple of nights of tossing and turning to a point where you cannot sleep through the night without waking up. I personally have had times when I will lay awake in the middle of the night for an hour or more. During that time I find myself thinking about a lot of things. I often ask myself why I cannot think about all these issues or go through this in-depth analysis during the daylight hours. Another trouble I have is getting to sleep. The obvious challenge to all this is when during the day you lack energy and feel sluggish and inattentive. Sometimes I just want to go to bed. Now, what is one to do? Why is this happening? We are going to have to look at a number of things. Repeated loss of sleep can lead to all sorts of problems. Problems such as lack of productivity, emotional problems, problems in relationships, personality changes, mental fatigue, and phys...

Frank Sinatra knew what he was singing about when he declared that he was going to be a part of it in New York. New York City is the queen of metropolitan life and the quintessence of globalized heritage. From the sensory excitement of Times Square’s King Kong-sized interactive plasma screens to the serene greenery of Central Park’s 850 acres, every aspect of New York life has been nurtured with exacting detail.

Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty are both very popular among visitors, especially those interested in family immigration records or how America as a true ‘melting pot’ was established. The borough of Brooklyn happens to be the most ethnically div...
