  Christmas Shopping in Bratislava”There are no shopping reviews for Bratislava yet,” said the travel website. “Why don’t you write the first one?” It was an invitation that was impossible to refuse - especially a week before Christmas. Bratislava is not New York, of course - no Macy’s, no Bloomingdale’s, no Saks Fifth Avenue. But the Slovakian Tourist Board hymned “the explosive development of the city and the opening of five major shopping centres within the past few years”: Polus City Centre, Shopping Park Bratislava, Shopping Park Soravia, the Aupark Shopping Mall and Avion Shopping Park, close to the airport.

The best way to fix your money problems is to know precisely where you stand with money. The following ten tips on budgeting will demonstrate to you how to take command. Tips On Budgeting One ? The Advantages Of Budgeting The most important reason to construct and follow a budget is to put you in the driving seat. This will also help to reduce all the stresses you have about your finances. A further benefit is that it will help you control and reduce your debts if you have any, plan for the future and save money. Tips On Budgeting Two ? How To Plan Your Budget To start off your budget plan don’t just think about your present salary and expenditure. You need to plan for your future and include savings plans or other interest earning schemes that will provide for you in the longer term. Tips On Budgeting Three ? Getting Your Budget Started Your budget must record monthly salary and expenditure and allow you to plan for the months ahead. Being aware of how much income you receive on a monthly basis is usually much simpler to record than all of your monthly outgoings. Before you create your budget gather all of your check account statements for the last twelve months and also your credit card records. You need to do this so that you don’t omit irregular payments (every three months or yearly). Tips On Budgeting Four ? Now Make Your Budget Use the first column of your worksheet to record your salary at the top and then below list all of your regular payments. As well as the most obvious payments such as mortgage, utility bills, loan repayments and so on list all of the small payments that you make on a regular basis such as commuting, coffee and lunches, dining in restaurants and mobile phone costs. Tips On Budgeting 5 ? Positive Or Negative? When you believe you have included everything then you are ready to do the math and see if you have a positive balance afterwards or a negative one. A lot of you will find you have a negative balance which shows you are spending more than you earn. If you are in this position don’t worry. The truth will set you free. Tips On Budgeting 6 ? Look Closely At Your Outgoings Now You need to take a careful look at all areas of your spending. Are there items you can cut out or reduce your spending on? Of course there are. Eating out, a newspaper everyday, daily coffee take outs, luxury expenditure, too many cell phone calls, taxis where you should have got the bus or subway, hopping in the car for trips around the corner when you should have walked or used cheaper means to get there, the countless cable or satellite channels that you pay for and never watch ? the list is never ending. Set yourself a target to drive out all unnecessary spending ? don’t go for 30% but 100%. Even if you get close to this target you will be surprised at how much you will save over time. Tips On Budgeting 7 ? Monitor Your Budget Regularly There is no point in creating a budget and using it once. You need to update it frequently with items you forgot, unscheduled payments, salary increases and so on. You can also use it to control future spending. Give this a try ? work out what your total outgoings for the week ahead should be in terms of shopping, traveling and cash spending and then withdraw precisely that amount of money at the beginning of the week and use it. You will likely find that you will cut out even more unnecessary spending as it will be really painful to spend the cash. Tips On Budgeting Eight ? Use Your Budget To Plan For Your Future Another benefit of creating a budget is planning for your future. You can schedule expenditure for savings, retirement plans, your next vacation, next car purchase, a bigger home, your children’s education and even a second honeymoon. No matter what your dreams for the future are you can make them happen with a well thought out budget. Tips On Budgeting Nine ? Focus On Earning More Money Don’t only focus on cutting back on expenditure, but consider how to increase your earnings. There are a multitude of ways that you can achieve this ? more overtime, another part time job, have a yard sale, sell all the items you no longer want or need on online auctions or start a business from home. By concentrating on increasing your earnings then you will become so busy that time will not be available to visit the shops and spend your money on things that are not really needed. Tips On Budgeting Ten ? Make Your Budget Now You will experience a tremendous feeling of relief and pride after you have created your budget and finally have control over your finances. Don’t be like most people who are not in control and have no clue where their money is being spent. Even if your budget is negative, you now have the power to turn this around. These tips on budgeting will help you if you take action ? so create your budget now!

By Linda Orlando In the online world of personal blogs, it’s easy to get bored with reading the same old stories about college life, nightclub adventures, parenting challenges, and a wide variety of hobby pursuits. When you tire of the “same old, same old” blog rolls, you can hope into Melissa Plaut’s blog for a real glimpse of adventure. Plaut is a cab driver in New York City, home to over 40,000 taxi drivers. Less than 1% of those drivers are women, so Plaut’s blog offers a fairly unique perspective on a career that has been a fixture of Big Apple daily life for nearly a century. Writing about her experiences and posting pictures of her various encounters with fares and situations in the city, Plaut brings humanity and emotion to a job millions of people in the city see as just a necessary evil. She describes the locker room where the drivers gather to await the beginning of shifts and describes her interactions with the other cabbies, almost all of them men. During the grueling 12-hour shifts and traffic snarls she endures, Plaut eats brings peanuts for snacking in the cab and stops for hot dogs for meals. By the end of a shift her fingernails are black from opening doors, loading luggage, and handling money all day. Plaut grew up in suburban Pomona, New York, with parents who were both teachers. She attended the University of New Mexico, graduating in 1997 and moving to New York City. After working for several years as a writer and copy editor at an advertising agency, she was laid off about a year ago. She couldn’t reconcile herself to returning to office work, so she decided to stop agonizing over what she was going to do with her life. Instead, she got a job driving a cab. Although she hopes it isn’t going to be a lifelong job, she’s treating the experience as an adventure. Plaut spent about $400 going through the tedious licensing process, which includes a medical exam, three 8-hour classes of taxi school, an English proficiency exam, being fingerprinted, and passing a final test and receiving her license. Driving a taxi isn’t the easiest job in the world, and Plaut considers it a means to an end, not a career move. One thing that is helping her to cope with the stresses of the job is being able to chronicle them in her blog, which she started in August. Reading about her adventures gives her site visitors?some of whom are nowhere near New York City?a chance to experience the Big Apple firsthand without ever going there. Her website gets nearly 1000 hits on some days, and even more now that her blog has been written about by the Associated Press and spotlighted on an ABC news program. The sights, sounds, and people Plaut writes about bring the city to life in a way that sometimes is more vivid than actually being there. Passengers’ stories are diverse and colorful, such as the young girl traveling to the hospital because she had a sea urchin stuck in her foot, which she had picked up while vacationing in Puerto Rico. Or the young suburban couple who wanted to smoke a joint in the cab while they were “waiting for the mushrooms to kick in.” And just after the Red Sox beat the Yankees in the World Series, a couple got in her cab with the woman obviously in distress. The woman was sobbing, saying “Oh my God?I can’t believe it, I just can’t believe it.” Concerned, Plaut asked her if everything was okay, and the woman tearfully replied, “Oh yes! We’re Red Sox fans!” Plaut says she has never been really frightened by a passenger, but traffic accidents do scare her. Once her driver’s side mirror was whacked by a passing city bus, and once she saw another cab get hit by an 18-wheeler. Last month one of her posts detailed a high-speed car chase she “unwittingly drove into” while bringing a tourist into the city from the airport. “When my heart finally started beating again,” her post says, “I turned to my passenger and said, ‘Welcome to new York!’”

Sebastien McKervey, 12 years old, was pretty sure he’d never be able to read. He’s a really nice kid, smart, but really low self-esteem. He wasn’t into trying more things that were supposed to help. He had basically given up. On August 31, Father Todd Angele of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church and Priory in Calgary, Alberta arranged for Jeanette Kasper to teach the one-day workshop “Read to Your Potential” to all of the teachers at their affiliated private school, St. John Bosco. Sebastien’s mother is a teacher there. On a hunch, Father Todd suggested that she bring Sebastien along. Sebastien will tell you that he only went because “Mom said I had to.” Sebastien started the class at 75 words per minute which, when multiplied by his comprehension of 33%, gives a functional reading rate of just 31 wpm. By the end of the day, he was reading at 451 wpm with 75% comprehension! Sebastien had better results than any of the teachers in the room and went from a functional reading rate of 31 wpm to 328 wpm! That was 2 weeks ago. Dyslexia, ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder), learning disabilities. The number of children having trouble learning to read has risen dramatically over the last decade. Schools now fund Resource Teachers to read these children their test questions, as opposed to continuing the struggle to teach them to read. None of the teachers at St. John Bosco Private School would ever have guessed that a reading program could have such dramatic results with dyslexia. Jeanette Kasper, owner of Be You Inc., a Calgary-based training company, and facilitator of “Read to Your Potential,” explains why this process works. “The way we are taught to read, pronouncing every letter, every syllable, every word, is how we learn to do everything. Remember learning to ride a bike? Remember talking yourself through it? “Put this hand here. Balance like this. Put this foot her.” Now, when you pick up a bike, there’s no voice. You just grab the bike and go. It’s a habit.” Says Kasper, “The way we all read now, with that little voice in the back of our head pronouncing all of the words out loud, shows that reading has never been transferred out of the learning center in the “Thinking Brain” and into the habit centre in our “Safety Brain.” Every time we pick up a book, it’s as though we’re still “learning to read.” No wonder so many of us read so slowly and have so much trouble concentrating on what we’re are reading. And, without good focus, we can’t remember anything, even names of people we meet!” Apparently, it’s the transfer of our reading function to the “safety brain” or amygdala, that establishes reading as a habit and we don’t have to think about habits. “It’s like riding a bike,” as the saying goes and, surprisingly, it works, even with dyslexia. “In a three-hour session, just learning the reading technique that transfers reading from the “Thinking Brain” to the “Safety Brain,” everybody doubles their reading speed and remembers 50% more,” reports Kasper. “And then you practice.” We checked in with Sebastien September 16th, 2 weeks after he left the class excited to practice at home. He’s now reading at 1200 wpm with 75% comprehension, a functional reading rate of 900 wpm! And he took a week off practicing because he picked up the flu bug going around. He was one of the children in the Resource Room program at St. John Bosco, up until now. When questioned by an astonished tutor as to whether he’d hit his head over the summer, Sebastien proudly announced, “That’s just the way I read, now.” Sebastien McKervey is truly motivated. Along with investing the time and money to have the teachers and priests attend the course, Father Angele also offered an incentive of $100 to the person who showed the most progress throughout their 21-day practice period. Sebastien says he’s looking forward to spending that $100! St. John Bosco Private School is now planning to put all of their students through the “Read to Your Potential” program by mid-October and plans to track their progress through their report card marks. Father Todd and Father Jean Violette, District Superior, who traveled from Toronto to take part in the class, are intrigued with the potential of this program to increase marks and learning abilities in their students at schools across the country. They were both very pleased with their own results after taking this program, but they’ll be even more pleased to tell you that Sebastien is now out-reading them all. Jeanette Kasper may be contacted at http://www.beyouinc.com jkasper@beyouinc.comJeanette Kasper is a world leading expert on what it REALLY takes to tranform our habits and our relationships. And it’s not as hard as you think. After 20 years of research, Jeanette has information you’ve NEVER heard before, including recent discoveries in how our brains work. Author of the Canadian best-seller “Anger is NOT an Emotion” and “Calm the Kids and Keep Your Cool”, Jeanette has discovered the 3 key mistakes we make that keep us in our old patterns and 3 very interesting and easy solutions. Engaging, insightful and downright practical!

Rome was built not only for walkers and joining limousine or minibus tours is still one of the best way to see the city. Few cities like Rome have as many as pleasant places to explore. Just a turn at a corner can reveal a ruin or present an unexpected bit of entertainment, like the popular Pyramid of the first century AD built as tomb of the roman governor Caius Cestius sent to Egypt by the emperor Augustus to represent the Roman empire. If you land at Rome airports in early afternoon you will see, when getting into the city, that many shops close down for lunch and the Romans love to stroll in parks or across big open squares such as Piazza del Popolo or Piazza Navona. Another important attraction that people getting to Rome can see are the remains of the roman city walls built by the emperor Aurelian in the third century AD. Not everybody know that these city walls were built by the roman soldiers and have the huge extension of eleven miles with almost 400 military watch towers. Remains of this archaological belt around Rome are everywhere including along the Appian way. Rome’s airport, called Fiumicino or Leonardo da Vinci, is located in the west of Rome, at the end of the Tiber river and is the major airport in Italy. From this airport it takes about 40 miutes to reach downtown entering the western district of Rome called Ostiense. It’s also good to remember that there are several minor airports in Italy that have now found a niche market in serving low-cost airlines. The single important monument to be seen on the Ostiense area is the basilica of saint Paul outside the walls, one of the four patriarchal churches in Rome. This church belongs to the Vatican ( that is to say it’s not italian territory but part of the vatican in Rome ) and , before it burned to the ground in 1823, the original basilica of the fourth century surpassed even saint Peters in grandeur and lavish decoration. When instead people drive to Rome because they landed at the minor airport of Ciampino, located in the south of Rome, the main sights to admire is the roman acqueduct built by the roman emperor Claudius in the first century AD and the Appian way, the queen and the first of the roman consular roads. The appian way was built in the IV century AD in around 20 years to connect Rome and the minor colony of Capua, located near Naples and was used by the Romans to bring the legions until Greece.
