Reality Check - How many years do you have left until you're 65?Whether retirement is just around the corner or have many more years to go, setting yourself up for retirement is key and must start now. Do the math. If you want $10,000 and you’re investing at 5 percent, you need $3,765. If you invest at 10 percent, you’ll need $1,400. It’s great if you have a savings account (you’re ahead of most folks), but if that’s the highest form of investing you’re doing—we have a lot of work to do.It’s not Magic—Compounded InterestIn my 30s, I started saving $50 each month. As I earned more, I saved more. If you invest in a Roth/IRA, your money grows tax-free.Example: If you invest $1 for 40 years at…1 percent = $1.4910 percent = $45.2620 percent = $1,470Make your money work for you.Get a plan down for saving and stick to it. I was trained in trading commodities. To do so, you have to eliminate/minimize your emotion. You go in with a plan and stick with the plan, meaning you invest only under certain circumstances and if it goes down more than a certain amount, you take your loss and drop out. If your trading system loses 80 percent of the time, is this a good system? Perhaps. If you only lose $0.01 (when you lose), and you make $0.05 when you win—this is a good trading system because the winnings outweigh the losses.
Do you think twice before bidding for an item on eBay. What if the sellers a fraud or is new to eBay? It's equally important to sell yourself as well as your the items your listing on eBay. Below, are five tips you can use to give potential bidders confidence when dealing with you.1) Users on eBay.com, are offered the option of Verifying your identity. This gives you an ID Verified icon within your information box with is instantly recognisable. This verification process gives you a few additional benefits such as not having to put a credit card on file as a seller. 2) Display your feedback on the item page. By showing some of your best feedback comments, under the item description you are showcasing your credibility to potential buyers. Case studies have shown this to increase the number of bids by upto fifty percent. Just make sure you do it so it blends with the rest of your item description, otherwise it can distract the bidder altogether.3) Make sure your paypal address is confirmed if your accepting payment though paypal. Having an unconfirmed paypal address is an immediate way for buyers to lose confidence in a seller and walk away from a transaction. Make sure yours is confirmed before they send you money, and also have a clear policy about only sending items which your selling to confirmed addresses.4) Acknowledge payme
The recent proposal made by Human Resource Development Minister Arjun Singh to increase reservations from the present 22.5 per cent to 49.5 per cent for OBCs in prestigious educational institutions like IITs and IIMs and other institutes of higher education is just brewing up a storm now. It seems as if the Mandal politics of 1980s has revisited once again. Students from all spectrums have reacted with shock and labelled it as the murder of merit. And the controversy has been dubbed as Mandal-II. The Election Commission has also come on its toe to find out whether the announcement has anything to do with the assembly elections in 5 states. Promptly taking note of it, the Commission sent notices to the Minister, treating his statement prima facie as violation of the model code of conduct.
The UPA government has made it clear that the final decision on this issue will be taken after the elections. But the opposition mainly BJP has attacked the government over this issue accusing UPA for dividing the nation on caste basis, while Samajwadi Party Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has spoken in favour of this reservation. Though the government is denying the opposition charges, it seems as if the UPA government is trying its best to sell this idea. This can be realised from the recent call of Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh to the private sector to adopt reservation policies in their jobs too. But the India Inc. has declined this proposal very candidly saying a big No, at least for now. As was the case in 1990, the debate is multi-dimensional and its qualitative aspects range from the constructive to the frivolous to the sinister. The fire, as expected, has just star
What is a CTMod? Well it is actually referred to as the CTRaid mod or CT_RaidAssist but hey, you can call it what you want. The CTRaid mod helps guilds who do end-game and makes it much easier for the people who are leading the raid. It keeps track of all the difficult information and gives warnings and such.The CTRaid mod does everything, one of it’s greater functions is to broadcast when certain bosses begin to cast dangerous spells that needs to be stopped immediately. Another advantage of using CTRaid mod, is the emergency meter function that will automatically bring up a window that shows the names and health bars of guild members who are about to die. This allows the healers to have an easier time saving people without having to search the raid interface looking for dropping health bars.The CTRaid mod also allows the leaders to assign “tank targets” clickable boxes that allow you to target the tank’s target, it keeps you from attacking the wrong target and getting agro which would then either waste the healer’s mana trying to save you or you dying, resulting in the raid losing damage output.CTRaid is one of the few mods that also lets you customize your entire raid interface, from either making the raid party windows bigger to shrinking them and even making them transparent! Anything is possible with the CTRaid interface and it works well with o

If you’ve tried your hand at trading, you know it’s not as easy as it looks.So, how do you find your great inner trader? Glad you asked, because I’m about to tell you.THERE IS NO ONE BIG SECRET that will instantly give you the trading Midas touch. That secret does not exist. There is no perfect system for finding hot stock picks. The question is a red herring that has ruined more than a few traders.Still with me?I figured I’d lose most of my readers at this point, so congratulations that you’ve made it this far.Remember the Wizard of Oz? My favorite scene is when Dorothy is quaking in her boots during her audience with the GREAT AND POWERFUL Wizard of Oz. Dorothy’s dog, Toto, then runs to an obscure corner of the great hall and pulls back the curtain, exposing a small, insecure middle aged man. He immediately gives himself away as being the puppet master behind the “great and powerful” Wizard of Oz. The supposed wizard turns out to be a collection of theatrical tricks.It’s a great story because you can find a number of lessons in it. The way I like to look at it is that an insecure man had managed to control a large thriving city by creating a myth about a “Great and Powerful Oz.” As long as everyone believed his charade, he had control over the whole domain.Likewise, I see some otherwise very intelligent people s

“Is it important to be creative in your trading?”I’m not sure I can describe it in terms of importance. The creative process is somewhat of a mystery, even to scientists who study it. There are a few common characteristics that all creative persons possess (such as an openness to a variety of internal and external experiences and a driving need to express one's sense of individualism), but for the most part, exactly how the creative mind makes earthshaking discoveries is unknown. A few prerequisites are necessary, though. The mind must be focused, for example. New ideas must flow through the mind freely, and there must be a wide range of ideas, so that they can be combined and re-combined in new ways. New and creative trading ideas are necessary to stay ahead of the crowd, so doing whatever you can to prepare your mind to brainstorm new ideas will help you develop creative trading strategies that are the foundation of profitable trading.Many great scientific discoveries were made almost by accident, through a serendipitous observation. Had an untrained eye made the observation, it would have been missed. But because the scientist's mind was continuously running through a wealth of ideas, he or she saw a new discovery in a seemingly ordinary event. Discovering new trading ideas is also a creative, intellectual endeavor. You must get your creative juices flow

The huge demand for writers online is really for ghostwriters. A vast majority of the available online writing jobs for an online writer are for ghost writing projects.When a website or blog requires content, they will want a ghostwriter to churn out the content for them. In fact the demand for good ghostwriters online is so huge that it is unlikely to be met any time soon.Note that the huge demand is for good ghostwriters, not just any ghostwriter who does not add value to a client’s site or put any money in the site owner’s pockets. Unfortunately there are so many ghostwriters online who do not qualify to be called good ghostwriters. Because there is such a huge demand, many of them still end up getting jobs here and there. But you need to be good ghostwriters to get consistent repeat business and thus make a good income from your ghostwriting. You need to understand very clearly what most clients looking to hire a ghostwriter want.So what are the specific qualities webmasters are looking for in ghostwriters?A Good Ghostwriter Must Write To Bring In The TrafficMuch as most people would wish it to be different, the fact still remains that over 75 per cent of the traffic that successful sites receive, will tend to come from search engines. Meaning that no ghostwriter in their right mind can afford to ignore search engine
Mandal Commission-Flash Back
The Mandal Commission led by B P Mandal had submitted its report to then Home Minister Giani Zail Singh on December 30, 1980 but it was lying in the dust vaults of Home ministry for exactly a decade. All of a sudden V P Sigh, then Prime Minister opened the lid in 1990 and the Mandal Commission Report became the single-most heated topic of controversy and discussion. There was total confusion in the political spectrum and V P Singh was accused for playing the worst part of opportunism. No major party supported the move and BJP leader L K Advani launched a Rath Yatra opposing this move perhaps, sensing a serious threat to its ‘upper’ caste constituencies. Those were the days of high tension and emotions. New power equations emerged and older ones were dissolving, the entire polity was in turmoil. The Indian politics saw the rising of some OBC leaders and never before in the history of Indian politics, such a sea change had occurred. This was all because of the implementation of Mandal report.
Scholars who have analyzed this controversy very keenly, are of the opinion that the Mandal Commission report was, in fact, ‘demandalised during the very process of its implementation. It is questioned again and again that why out of dozen or so recommendations, only one pertaining to reservation was picked up by the V P Singh government. There were so many far-reaching recommendations regarding structural changes in the land tenure system, and institutional reforms for the educational and economic uplift of the OBCs, which were not even noticed. Reservation was chosen because it had the highest visibility and attracted immediate attention.
Who are the real beneficiaries?
The very objective of the Mandal Commission report was for the creation of a more egalitarian society. But the selective and populist approach introduced a sense of inequality among the OBCs themselves. If equal attention had been paid to strengthening the roots and branches of the tree of social justice and efforts were made to strengthen to base of the deprived sections of the society; the
