With the world undergoing a torrent of recession, tens of thousands of people are considering to start home-based businesses. During a lifetime, an average human being can take up-to two to three careers. Those who have one, often consider home businesses on top priority. Majority of the people working the nine-to-five job and on the verge of retiring consider home businesses as a means to earn a living. Here’s our list of the top 10 options that you can choose for, that require low cost investments.

10. Boat cleaning

Boats which are hauled out of the water need to be cleaned. Depending on the kind of boat other accessory equipment may also need cleaning along with the boat. These include decks, sleeping areas, the head and the holds. These may need thorough cleaning. People who have boat-sittings in their homes can be initially approached. Another way could be marketing the services through advertisement.

9. eBay Assistant

We all have items lurking around the house which we do not use, and can be sold out on eBay. The only task is to find out the asking price for the item and decide whether the item is worth auctioning or if it should be put in the eBay store? Then it should be decided if a minimum bid should be set up and the duration of the auction. For transactions, a Paypal account would be necessary.

8. Electronics repair

This will include repairing all kinds of electronics. If you have this skill it is surely a golden opportunity for you to utilize your talent and have your own business. For smaller electronics such as laptops and cameras, you would also save up the cost of driving around to pick up broken equipment and returning it. You can also encourage people to give you old electronics so that you can use their spare parts.

7. Event planning

This business has a lot of expansion possibilities. However, there is a need to do some homework first. You should be aware of locations that attract customers and which venue would be good for what kind of event. You may have to initially work with marketing managers to tour each site. Data may be organized in a database to sort venues according to some specific characteristics. Then while discussing an event with a client the key parameters can be considered for choosing a location.

6. Interior decorator

People who purchase new homes may often be confused or overwhelmed about home decorating options. This is the time your business offers its services. To understand and comprehend the person’s lifestyle, a questionnaire may be designed for each major element. For example if the homeowner has children or pets? What kind of lightning would be appropriate for which rooms?

5. Wedding planner

For this you need to be up-to-date about the latest styles, trends and fads; dress styles, color trends and everything about the wedding day. A good planner is one who takes care of even the littlest details. When you offer an ala carte menu of services the customer is bound to fall in your trap. The wedding day is a person’s most special day and naturally everyone who want to have it perfect for themselves.

4. Computer training

If you have good grip in Macintosh and PC, then you should definitely consider training individuals in both. A good living could be made by training the senior citizens. Lessons could be given on the use of internet and e-mail to stay in touch with loved ones. These people often do not want professional training. They just want to be good with the basics, which is easy to start off with.

3. Moving service

A lot of people who are moving from one house to another need help with shifting the heavy articles. You may skip long distance endeavors and large-scale shifting. However, those that are local could be managed. Advertisements on television and signs around the town will tempt the people to take benefit of your service. Old people and women would be largely interested.

2. Photographer

If not good, at least all of us know how to take a photograph. Perhaps a short course may polish our aesthetic sense, specializing in a particular type of photography which may prove to be beneficial. Photographers remain in demand throughout the year; at parties, weddings, holiday events and other activities.

1. Day care

In this business, experience training or licensing may be essential requirements. However, this business has a lot of earning potential. If you tend to enjoy the company of children around the house then this is the career that you should opt for. Most parents often prefer a home- environment day care for their child rather than a professional institution.

10. Home day care

In most places, you don’t need a license to run a babysitting service from home. With more parents needing to work, offering a home-based child care situation can be a great way to start a business and stay home with your own kids, too.

9. Errand service

In some ways, the depression has made people busier than ever. Between long working hours and lots of responsibilities, there’s a lot that gets left undone. A service that runs everyday jobs and household tasks (including dropping off dry cleaning, paying bills, etc.) requires just a car and cell phone. Start small, do a good job and word of mouth will spread quickly.

8. Energy efficiency consultant

Homeowners and businesses are looking for any way they can to cut costs, but figuring out how to lower energy expenses isn’t as easy as you might think. Anyone who has a background in utilities or construction and can advise homeowners or businesses on how to better insulate, install smart meters, reduce water usage, etc., has a valuable service to offer.

7.Recycler

Your laptop could be a gold mine. Steel, copper and computer components are all worth more than ever. But, your average homeowner doesn’t always know where or how to recycle the stuff they’ve got. A good local advertising campaign and a pickup truck are all you’d need to start buying or simply offering to remove scrap metal, old computers, electronics, ink cartridges and other recyclable materials. You’ll be making a profit and doing the Earth a favor, too.

6.Translator

Most businesses can’t afford to keep a translator on staff, even though they may need one from time to time. As America becomes increasingly multilingual, everyone from doctors to insurance companies find themselves in need of foreign language speakers to help interact with their customers. If you can speak a foreign language, are organized and can come up with a good marketing plan, you may find you have more work than you can handle.

If you can help existing businesses add social media into their other marketing campaigns, you should have no trouble making a go of it.

4. Computer maintenance

If you have a technical study background; with the propagation of tablets, smart phones and laptops for every member of the family, there are lots of opportunities to provide private computer services such as anti-virus software installation, desktop cleanups, software downloads, printer hookups, and even hardware maintenance.

3.Health insurance consultant

Most businesses have to offer health insurance to their employees; the problem is that many companies can’t afford a full- time human resources person. That’s why more and more companies look for outside services to help them. If you have a background in human resources or insurance, health insurance job could present big opportunities for you. You don’t need to be licensed if you’re not selling insurance; a health insurance consultant can simply help know the details to the customer.

2. Web site design

Almost all the businesses use a very basic web presence to tell others about their business. Quite often, these businesses don’t have a large budget for keeping a web developer/designer for the whole term. That’s where you come in – get good expertise in web developing, and create sites for them, and maintain them for an adequate fee. In brief, you can have a nice business completely of your own.

1. Eldercare Services

Starting your own eldercare is a good proposal now days. The elderly population is booming; the need for elder care services in the up coming years is going to do nothing but increase. You can start your own elder care business as people are always looking for someone to take care of their elderly parents.

2013-11-26T02:37:00.002+05:00

All the countries worldwide have punishments, rules and death penalties for the criminals against the crimes accordingly but not all of them actually execute them. On the other hand where European Union thinks it’s an insult to the right of life, countries like China, Bangladesh and North Korea execute the justice strongly. Sometimes these executions take place secretly whereas in other cases it is public to show the people that the punishment to the certain crime is suppose to be this.

10. Somalia

Somalis voted in favor of the execution resolution in the year 2008 and since then the people, who are related to crimes that give death penalties as the punishments, are being punished. In 2010 the number of people who were executed is 8. And more would have been executed secretly.

9. Bangladesh

Obligatory death penalty was removed by the High Court Division of the Supreme Court but afterwards legislation was passed for the death punishment to be made legal. In the year of 2010 more than 9 people were executed in the country which still does not include the ones who are killed secretly.

8. Syria

The criminals who are given the punishment of death are normally hanged in front of people wrapped in scaffold which have the details of all the crimes they have done due to which they are executed. More than 17 people are executed in Syria in the year of 2010.

6. Saudi Arabia

Country like Saudi Arabia has its criminal justice in a public way. More than 27 have been executed in the year 2011 where the foreigners are not excluded. Saudi Arabia is one of the last five countries who still take out the death penalty in front of public, in places like Riyadh. Islam being the main religion of the country, it follows the Shariah.

The way it is taken out are different, it can be done by the firing squad, by stoning or by the cutting the head with a sword.

5. USA

Death penalty is a legal punishment in almost 32 states of America, whereas Texas has executed most of the people.

These executions involved 5 women and 1 young person. Iran has been criticized for punishing children under the age of 18 which is illegal but the state claimed that the religion of the state which is Islam does not have that point. The second point that was raised against the state was that the procedure that they carry out the penalty with stoning is also painful and critical in which the state person of Iran claimed that it was propaganda against Iran. Iran stands second in the list of executioner countries.

1. China

China with the most population in the World has the highest executions too. It gives the punishment for the most violent crimes like, murder, drug trafficking and such. Having a number of 5000 people executed in 2009 it reduced to 1000 in 2011 because the Supreme People’s court ordered strictly to keep the Capital punishment to serious and extremely violent crimes. The actual number of people who are executed is always kept a secret and is not allowed to be public. The procedures of the death penalty are by shooting or injecting the guilty.

Top 10 Causes Of Flood Damages In Philippines

2013-11-26T02:21:00.000+05:00

Water is one of the blessed things on earth.We drink it, bathe in it, clean with it and use it to cook food.In short life is impossible without water.But,same water in excess can cause disaster called , flood. A Flood is an overflow of water that submerges land which is usually dry,as a covering by water of land not normally covered by water. Flooding has claimed millions of lives in the last hundred years alone, more than any other weather phenomenon.Here are some reasons of huge damages in Philippines recently flood effected areas.

10.Lack of flood control system

Flood control refers to all methods used to reduce or prevent the detrimental effects of flood waters.The Philippine Fault System consists of a series of seismic faults that produce several earthquakes per year.so, goverment should develop well-organised flood control system or latest small-scale flood control systems that can be used at home such as Aqua Levee,HESCO Concertainer units,Flood barriers,Artificial sandbags,Inflatable rubber dams etc

9. Politics

Although It does not make any sense ,but politics is actually involved in increased loss of life due to over population in costal areas. People were bound to stay in these areas .Politics also conspires to keep informal settlers where they are, because they represent votes.

8.Poverty

Because there are no alternatives for low-income mass housing, informal settlers ,settle in desperate areas.The combination of poverty and population shifts ,puts the the Philippines among the Top 10 worldwide nations at risk of coastal flooding.

7.Unplanned drainage infrastructure

Because there is a lack of planning context, all drainage, road and traffic infrastructure is useless to carry the additional load,that’s why most flooded areas are waterways clogged. All solid waste sewers go to the waterways, filling many of them so solid that animals can cross over them. And this is one of the reasons it floods.The islands typically have narrow coastal plains and numerous swift-running streams.

6.Presence in convergence zone area

Another cause of flooding in philippines was the wind convergance,convergence zone is a region in the atmosphere where two prevailing flows meet and interact, usually resulting in distinctive weather conditions.

5. Inadequate evacuation plans

The young, poor population of the Philippines has increasingly shifted to coastal regions, where rapidly constructed housing and inadequate evacuation plans may have played a role in the Haiyan disaster.Indeed, reports are now emerging that people died in shelters too weak to withstand the storm surge and high winds of the super typhoon.

4. Geographical unstability

The Philippine archipelago lies in Southeast Asia as part of a western Pacific arc system that rests on the earthquake and volcano Ring of Fire. All of the Philippine islands are prone to earthquakes. The Philippine Fault System consists of a series of seismic faults that produce several earthquakes per year, most of which are not felt.Driven by the Pacific Ocean’s crust diving underneath the continents, the result is earthquakes and tsunamis striking the Philippines with regularity. An earthquake of magnitude 7.2 last month killed 222 people, for example, on the island province of Bohol.

3. Deforestation

Illegal logging has reduced forest cover to less than 10% of the total land area.In past typhoons, mudslides have killed many storm survivors in the Philippines.Hillsides denuded of trees have fewer roots to hold them together, which can lead to mudslides when they are hit by sudden huge outbursts of rain.Deforestation has caused similar problems in places such as Haiti, where mudslides were triggered by rainstorms.

2.Largest Coastallines

Topographically, the Philippines is broken up by the sea, which gives it one of the longest coastlines of any nation in the world.36,289 kilometres (22,549 mi).A lot of people live on low-lying coastal islands in the Philippines, with more than 60 percent of the population living in coastal zones, according to World Bank estimates.Storm surges for landfall of Super Typhoon Haiyan reached 23 feet (7 meters) in some places and were more than 16 feet (5 meters) high.Those waves rolled over low-lying parts of populated islands such as Leyte, home to the coastal city of Tacloban, where the BBC estimates more than 10,000 people alone died.

1. Warm Ocean Waters

The Philippines has a tropical wet climate dominated by a rainy season. Annual rainfall measures as much as 5,000 millimeters (196.9 in) in the mountainous east coast section of the country.The Philippines sit astride the typhoon belt, and it suffers an annual onslaught of dangerous storms from July through October .The Philippines is prone to about 18-21 typhoons per year.It has the warmest ocean temperatures in the world. We call it the warm pool around Indonesia and the Philippines.Temperatures above 28°C (82.4°F) is required for typhoons to form. In the western Pacific, the water is normally above 28 degrees
