Users may not be aware that their behavior is out of control and causing problems for themselves and others.The word addiction is used in several different ways. One definition describes physical addiction. This is a biological state in which the body adapts to the presence of a drug so that drug no longer has the same effect, otherwise known as a tolerance. Another form of physical addiction is the phenomenon of overreaction by the brain to drugs (or to cues associated with the drugs). An alcoholic walking into a bar, for instance, will feel an extra pull to have a drink because of these cues.People with an addiction do not have control over what they are doing, taking or using. Their addiction may reach a point at which it is harmful.Addictions do not only include physical things we consume, such as drugs or alcohol, but may include virtually anything, such abstract things as gambling to seemingly harmless products, such as chocolate – in other words, addiction may refer to a substance dependence (e.g. drug addiction) or behavioral addiction (e.g. gambling addiction).However, most addictive behavior is not related to either physical tolerance or exposure to cues. People compulsively use drugs, gamble, or shop nearly always in reaction to being emotionally stressed, whether or not they have a physical addiction. Since these psychologically based addictions are not based on drug or brain effects, they can account for why people frequently switch addictive actions from one drug to a completely different kind of drug, or even to a non-drug behavior.Addiction, often referred to as dependency often leads to tolerance – the addicted person needs larger and more regular amounts of whatever they are addicted to in order to receive the same effect. Often, the initial reward is no longer felt, and the addiction continues because withdrawal is so unpleasant.When referring to any kind of addiction, it is important to recognize that its cause is not simply a search for pleasure and that addiction has nothing to do with one’s morality or strength of character.Experts debate whether addiction is a “disease” or a true mental illness, whether drug dependence and addiction mean the same thing, and many other aspects of addiction. Such debates are not likely to be resolved soon. </p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://iscrsms.info/addiction-the-silent-killer,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Free Web Hosting Sites For Your Business</title> <link>https://iscrsms.info/free-web-hosting-sites-for-your-business,html</link> <comments>https://iscrsms.info/free-web-hosting-sites-for-your-business,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 01 Apr 2023 18:34:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Web Hosting]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://iscrsms.info/?p=71</guid> <description><![CDATA[For a first-time user, paid web hosting may seem unnecessary when a simple internet search pulls up free hosting alternatives running into the 1000s.

Of course if you look deeper into the offers, then obvious differences appear: free web hosting comes at a price (pun intended) in that disk space, bandwidth and services will be less than paid for sites, and often advertising (which is how the service can be offered free) may seem out of place, or worse still, over the top.For the professional or business website, paying a nominal monthly or annual charge through hosting companies (a lot of whom offer free trial periods, or upgrades from free service start-ups) will be the way to go. In the following list of hosts, many offer a “try before you buy” business plan, and this is a good reason to use a free hosting service in the short-term.But for individuals, or small businesses or groups that do not have a problem with advertising and only need a limited number of website options, then free (and limited) web hosting is a suitable choice.Please Note:Do always read the Terms and FAQs: offers and services can alter at the stroke of a keyboard button!Bandwidth is used each time a visitor views your site’s content: a 1 MB file uses 1 MB of bandwidth each time the file is viewed.Web Storage/Web Space/Online Disk Space is just like your own computer’s hard drive: there’s only so much space. More space means more room for site content like pictures, videos, and documents.</p><p>10 Web Hosts with Free ServicesYolaOffering website hosting and design with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) tool, as well as controlled advertising, Yola makes website creation simple. Small business and solo users will be able to build on their original sites with paid-for add-ons when the situation arises, and new web users have a library of free designs to choose from, as well as paid-for premium themes. A good starter choice for new starters, especially with the options for growth.WebsYes, that’s their name (perhaps “Internets” was taken?). With a point-and-click (WYSIWIG again!) site builder, this web host and design site offers plenty to the most un-technical among us. They offer a Mobile Website App to give people visiting your site from a Smartphone a mobile-friendly experience. Services include domain name – and the option to transfer, email, 40 MB Web Space and 100 MB Bandwidth on their free option.www.gbbo.co.uk (Getting British Business Online)Getting British Business Online is a joint initiative from Google, Enterprise UK, BT, e-skills UK and many other partners to help small businesses create their first website and understand the opportunities offered by the Internet. Their website proudly proclaims that users can create a website for their business in 20 minutes. A WYSIWYG tool means, like many other free hosting sites, technical knowledge of the web is not needed. As well as the customisable website, users will receive a.co.uk address, regular updates, and a business email.FreeServersWith over 4 million websites under their belt, this web hosting provider has the age and experience that means a lot of the kinks of web hosting services have been ironed out. With similarities to 50megs (see below), this established service offers 50MB Web Space and 1 GB Monthly bandwidth, and is supported by (some may say heavy) advertising.FreeHostiaFrom their busy (and pretty) website, this web hosting company offers a free service with 250 MB Web Space, 6 GB Monthly Bandwidth and 3 emails. Offering both Joomla and WordPress templates for the blogging side of your site, this service has one-click set-up, 24/7 Customer Support, and is bannerless – good news if you don’t like advertisements.FortuneCityLike many other hosts on the list, FortuneCity has a free service that will be enough for some users, and an affordable option that would do for most. The free service has 1 GB Web Space and Unlimited Monthly bandwidth, as well as their own blogging tool. Having been around since 1997, they are well-used, well-tested, and well-known, and upgrading to their Affordable package means users may cut out advertising.BravenetAd-supported free hosting, and plenty of scope with premium paid-for packages, this Web Host offers multi-domain hosting, 5 MB Web Space and 1.5 GB Monthly Bandwidth. Bravenet has a number of options available if the free service satisfies but you still want more, and is a well-known name in the industry.AwardSpaceOffering a free service with 250 MB Web Space and 5 GB Monthly bandwidth, this free web host has some impressive numbers. They are also upfront about the limitations of their free service, which includes a limit on outgoing emails, file sizes, and no site builder. However, for the smaller website this host is an excellent option.Agility HosterA free web hosting service, with the option to upgrade to paid personal or business plans, which is another good example of a suitable candidate for polished personal websites and small businesses. Their service includes two domains, 200 MB Web Space and 5 GB Monthly bandwidth, numbers that are not uncommon on paid hosting sites.50megsThere may be a lot of ad placement at 50megs, but that hasn’t stopped the web hosting company offering its services since 1995, and they have had plenty of satisfied customers! As well as their own website templates, users can copy pre-existing sites over to the service. Anyone doing a web search (and others have commented, too) will notice that 50megs and FreeServers both have websites and services that are (ahem!) alike… with 50MB Web Space and 1 GB Monthly bandwidth. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://iscrsms.info/free-web-hosting-sites-for-your-business,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Saving Money on Auto Loans</title> <link>https://iscrsms.info/saving-money-on-auto-loans,html</link> <comments>https://iscrsms.info/saving-money-on-auto-loans,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 01 Apr 2023 07:37:29 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Auto Loans]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://iscrsms.info/?p=69</guid> <description><![CDATA[Like many people around the world, you are living your life on a tight budget.

If that is the case, you may have found yourself looking around for the proverbial “best deals” on auto loans. Indeed, there are steps that you can take that will allow you the ability to save money on auto loans. Through this article, you are presented with some useful, tried and true strategies that you can utilized in order to save money on auto loans.Not All Lenders are Created EquallyWhen you are in the market for auto loans, you must take the time to “shop around.” You need to come to a firm and complete understanding that there can be some fairly significant differences in the fees that are charged from one lender to the next. While there might not be a huge difference in interest rates on car loans charged by one lender to the next, the fees that are assessed by the lenders can, at times, be significant.By taking the time to really analyze the market and shop around, you will be able to identify those lenders that charge the lowest in fees and charges. In some instances, these fees can mount up and you need to make sure that you are getting the best deal in this regard.As mentioned a moment ago, the interest rates on different car loans normally do not vary that significantly. However, even a small difference in interest rates on different auto loans can add up over the lifetime of these loans. Therefore, you do want to compare and contrast interest rates as well with an eye to the savings that you can realize over the lifetime of particular auto loans.Visit with Lenders with Whom You Have a Prior RelationshipWhen looking for auto loans, many consumers overlook the obvious: contacting a lender with whom they have had a prior (successful) experience. For example, if you have a home mortgage loan with a particular lender, and if you are current on that loan and have had a satisfactory relationship with that lender, you will want to ascertain if that lender is involved in making car loans.The reality is that many lenders will give you a “better deal” if you have a pre-existing relationship with them. In other words, these lenders offer a lower interest rate on auto loans if you already have another type of loan with that company.Apply Direct for Auto Loans OnlineAnother step that you can take in this day and age when it comes to working to save at least some money on car loans is to apply for loans over the Internet and World Wide Web. An ever increasing number of reputable lenders that specialize in car loans (including auto loans for people with less than perfect credit) have established online venues through which people can make application for financing.Not only is the “apply direct, apply online” process an avenue through which you can save money on auto loans, it also is a very convenient way for your to obtain the financing that you require. Indeed, you can make application for auto loans from the comfort of your very own home in no time at all. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://iscrsms.info/saving-money-on-auto-loans,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Improving Performance Management: 8 Factors to Consider</title> <link>https://iscrsms.info/improving-performance-management-8-factors-to-consider,html</link> <comments>https://iscrsms.info/improving-performance-management-8-factors-to-consider,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2023 21:28:41 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[management]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://iscrsms.info/?p=67</guid> <description><![CDATA[It’s not surprising that many organizations are continually updating and revising their performance management systems in an effort to achieve better results and improve fairness and accuracy.

However, many of you who work in the public or private sector are most likely painfully aware that these efforts do not have the desired impact.We’ve identified eight of the most common changes and enhancements and why each may-or may not-add value.1. Web-Based SystemsWeb-based systems facilitate the collection of data which, in turn, facilitates cascading goals. It also provides a common framework for managers and employees and prompts for participating in the various components of performance management, thereby increasing consistency in application.A well-developed Web-based performance management system will help improve consistency of application across the organization, and it will likely enhance perceptions of fairness and accuracy. However, technology does not address manager skill or commitment to developing people; nor does it help clarify the link between pay and performance.2. Rating ScalesOne of the most common changes organizations make to their performance management systems centers on the rating scale used to evaluate performance.If you are using a scale as part of your appraisal process (either numeric or descriptive), make sure each rating point is clearly defined and managers have a common understanding of how to apply the scale to differentiate levels of performance. This is critical because it addresses consistency and enables managers to differentiate levels of performance.If the scale exceeds five points, be sure that the descriptors do, in fact, clearly capture distinctions in ratings. In our experience, clearly defined five-point scales (that include numbers and labels) are easiest for people to interpret and apply.3. Forced DistributionA forced distribution requires managers to evaluate a person’s performance relative to other people (rather than against clearly defined individual goals and performance expectations). This can negatively impact teamwork and collaboration if employees know that their performance is being “judged” against their peers.Furthermore, because it prevents managers who do not want to deliver “bad news” from inflating ratings, we believe a forced distribution is frequently used as a “work around” for managers who are unwilling or unable to address poor performance. The problem is that once poor performance has been addressed, a forced rating may result in an employee with acceptable performance receiving the lowest performance rating.4. Skill TrainingManager competence across all four elements of performance management-goal setting, coaching, development planning, and performance evaluation-is essential for the success of a performance management system. Without these fundamental skills in place, no form, rating scale, or technology will make the system work.Training increases consistency, which is one of the key drivers of people’s perceptions of fairness, accuracy and overall value to the business. Training in coaching and development planning also increases the likelihood that managers will provide feedback on performance and work with their direct reports to put development plans in place. This, in turn, has a positive impact on a direct report’s perception that the performance management system helps employees build their skills and competence.5. Periodic Performance ReviewsRequiring or encouraging managers to conduct periodic check-in meetings ties directly to perception that the system helps employees build their skills and competencies-a key driver of fairness, accuracy and overall value to the business.It also increases the likelihood that the annual performance review discussion will be a productive dialogue (versus a surprise). However, it is important to note that requiring periodic check-in meetings will only be successful if managers recognize the importance of these discussions, make time for them, and have the skills and tools to provide effective coaching and feedback.6. Multi-Rater FeedbackMulti-rater feedback appears to increase the likelihood that employees will see the overall performance evaluation process as fair and accurate. Although multi-rater feedback has a number of advantages, it will only be effective if it is introduced and integrated properly into the broader performance management system. It is critical that managers and employees have a shared understanding of the purpose of multi-rater feedback and how the data is used.7. Self-AssessmentsThe use of self-assessments is based on the belief that providing a vehicle for employees to give input into their evaluation, they are more likely to view the process as fair and accurate.However, simply introducing self-assessments will not have the desired impact. What makes the difference is the extent to which self-assessment data is actually integrated into the performance evaluation process. This requires skill on the part of the manager and cannot be accomplished by a form alone.Self-assessments are unlikely to make or break your performance management system; they may do more harm than good if they are perceived as another “task” and managers are not skilled in incorporating self-assessment data into the performance discussion.8. Monitoring the Quality of Performance EvaluationsHuman Resources can monitor the quality of completed performance evaluations in an effort to achieve greater consistency across the organization and ensure that assessments are backed with supportive evidence and examples.<br />Monitoring the quality of completed evaluations is generally a good practice.However, this time-consuming task will have little impact unless managers are held accountable for preparing effective reviews. In addition, monitoring is only useful when follow-up and coaching takes place with managers to confirm “what good looks like” and reinforce appropriate behaviors.Although any of these changes or enhancements can have a positive effect on the performance management process, caution is advised. Making frequent changes in an attempt to “get it right” undermines its credibility and frustrates managers. When it comes right down to it, we believe that it’s manager skill-not tweaks to forms, updating technology or revising rating scales-that determines whether a performance management system is used effectively.Managers must be competent in identifying and developing leaders to grow their teams. Using objective leadership assessment as a tool can give them a comprehensive, data-driven view of performance and a better understanding of where further coaching and development is needed. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://iscrsms.info/improving-performance-management-8-factors-to-consider,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Making Your Own Spa and Beauty Products</title> <link>https://iscrsms.info/making-your-own-spa-and-beauty-products,html</link> <comments>https://iscrsms.info/making-your-own-spa-and-beauty-products,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2023 19:08:23 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spa and Wellness]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://iscrsms.info/?p=65</guid> <description><![CDATA[Spa and beauty treatments are wonderful for the body, soul and mind.

In the stress filled world of today a visit to the spa can provide much needed relaxation. Unfortunately, it can also cost a small fortune for that day of pampering. In this economy who can afford such luxuries? Not to mention, trying to schedule the time amidst your other obligations. While there is no doubt that we all love professional pampering it is all to often just not possible to work it into our busy schedules and tight budgets. Although, there are easier alternatives that you may not have considered.You can create the same spa and beauty treatments at home for a fraction of the price you would pay at the spa. With just a few simple ingredients (most of which you may already have in your kitchen or bathroom) you can produce high quality luxurious spa and beauty recipes. You can use these treatments anytime you feel the need for pampering without scheduling appointments. Reliving stress is important for your body’s well being. So, if you could do it on your own time and save money why wouldn’t you?Creating spa products like bath salts, bombs, and scrubs can also be a great hobby. You can design wonderful gift baskets that will be truly enjoyed by friends and family for very little cost to you. You could even create and sell your own spa product line. These homemade designer products tend to sell very well and have high profit margins.It is easy to make your own spa and beauty products but there are some basics you will need to learn first. You will want to have a good understanding of essential oils and their effects and uses. You will also want to have a good understanding of the different bases that you might use in mixing recipes. Depending on how you intend to use your products you might also want to learn about packaging and labeling products for resale. Although, Once you learned the basics of using essential oils and other ingredients the possibilities are endless for making soaps, lotions, bubble baths, scrubs, lip gloss and much more.While the goal may be to make your own recipes it is best to start with proven recipes so that you can get the hang of mixing and measuring the ingredients correctly. The Nature’s Healing Essentials website would be a good start as it has a wealth of knowledge on essential oils and free beauty recipes to get you started. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://iscrsms.info/making-your-own-spa-and-beauty-products,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Meta-Physician On Call – Making the Connection Between Mind, Body and Spirit</title> <link>https://iscrsms.info/meta-physician-on-call-making-the-connection-between-mind-body-and-spirit,html</link> <comments>https://iscrsms.info/meta-physician-on-call-making-the-connection-between-mind-body-and-spirit,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2023 17:23:03 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mind Body Spirit]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://iscrsms.info/?p=63</guid> <description><![CDATA[Our anatomy books are rather specific about the way our bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments are arranged, and same is true with our internal organs.

Charting the specific connections between mind, body and spirit are a little trickier.Yes, neuroscientists and neuroradiologists have identified regions in the brain – via PET and SPECT scans — that are involved with mystical and meditative states of consciousness. But this ‘image” on the screen can barely represent the experience itself. Mind, body and spirit connect in a far more subtle but profound interplay. This is not the stuff you find in Grey’s Anatomy.. It is through our intuitive eye that we can perceive the truth of their inter-relationship.The reality of the notion of mind/body/spirit has become a part of our cultural lexicon and, in spiritual and health conscious circles, it is acknowledged as unquestionably true. But how many of us are truly living our lives as if there is a common connection between all aspects of our being? Our awareness of the “potential” for great health and a great life often runs up against the cold reality of day to day living. Many of us find it deeply challenging to ‘stay’ with that consciousness.What happens when you find that your bills are escalating and you don’t have the money to pay them? What happens when your boss insults you in front of others? How do you react to the unconscious driver, cell phone in hand, who just cut you off without even realizing it? How do you respond when your kid is flunking school or your parent is languishing in a nursing home? And how do you feel when you see images of starving babies, people’s whose lives are ravaged by poverty, crime , weather, earth changes or war?The list of things that could easily lead you to greet each day feeling weighed down by the enormity of existence could very possibly overshadow your knowledge, intuitive wisdom, experience and belief in the mind/body/spirit connection.Chaos has a way of making us forget that we have choices and I am certainly no exception. Despite what I consider to be my own significant awareness of the connection between all aspects of my being, there are days when I seem to forget it, or get thrown off balance by any number of chaotic, unconscious, unpleasant experiences. That’s why I believe that all of us need a prescription in place to always remind us that we are spiritual beings in “earth suits” not victims of circumstance or powerless over ‘dis-ease’.As a physician/healer I truly feel a responsibility to raise the awareness of those who enter my examining room and to educate them regarding the interaction of all three aspects of themselves. I regularly address how emotions play a role in their physical symptoms and complaints. I am open to discussing what’s going on in their lives, relationships, work, to help understand the stressors that are affecting them physically.But not everybody gets it. Some are annoyed because they just want me to fix them without their having to do anything. If they acknowledge the contribution of their own thoughts and feelings towards their physical complaints, then they must take an active role in their own healing. This requires effort, introspection, and work. Many are not prepared to do so or simply choose not to. As a physician I am able to offer them my knowledge and experience. As a healer, I can bring a more extensive protocol to the picture. But the ultimate power to heal resides within themselves. Not everyone is ready to own that. But those who are courageous enough to face their feelings and realize they have a choice about how they react will ultimately begin to heal themselves.Dr. Steve’s Prescriptions:1. Research and recognize the reality of the mind/body/spirit connection. It is the first step in permitting oneself to become whole, to heal.2. Observe how our emotional state produces physical symptoms.3. Accept life’s difficulties as a necessary part of our soul’s spiritual journey. What you resist, persists.4. Let other’s help – no one has to suffer alone – and be of help to others.5. Give yourself permission to truly tap into your own innate healing abilities by finding your personal path to wellness.6. Acknowledge that we are all responsible for our own health and allow the mind/body/spirit connection to truly thrive in your life.© Steven E.

One night in a haze of online surfing they come upon a website promising them a fancy car and a house if they start an online business. But it’s just a scam… or is it? So many people now realise that the dream of earning money online, away from the morning and afternoon commutes, away from the boss and the office politics is not just a dream but also a reality for many people around the globe. However, many people make any one or all three of the following mistakes when they attempt to earn money online! Below are the three biggest mistakes you could be making in regards to earning money online and how to avoid them.Mistake No.1 – Quitting Your Day Job Too SoonToo many people make the mistake of immediately quitting their job after the euphoria of living their dream takes hold of them. Without building a solid foundation online it will most certainly lead you to a lot of wasted time, money and effort. The best thing you can do is to start doing your online venture in your spare time, preferably part time after you finish your day job. Many people want to feel the rush of having their backs against the wall and having no other way than to be a success. However, doing so will lead you to make desperate decisions and ultimately foolish mistakes. Use the next 6 -12 months as a learning phase to really figure out this whole ‘earning money online thing’. If it’s really a passion, if it’s really your dream, you will want to do it right and you will want to build it correctly.Mistake No.2 – Venturing Into The UnknownStarting a business online is already an unknown venture why make it doubly hard for yourself by starting in an area you know nothing about or worse you actually have no interest in! Many people make the deadly mistake of starting a business online because they’ve heard from someone that a particular thing such as Forex trading is where the money is. However they’ve never looked at a dividend statement much less traded any stock. Sure you could learn but why give yourself the hassle? The truth of the matter is that you probably have skills, and expertise in areas that would make you very valuable in the online marketplace. What if you’re a whiz at fixing computers? Well why not create a website where you answer people’s problems and fix their machines for them? You could also have complementary software and antivirus to sell as well. You can sell products much better, when you actually care about them and are knowledgeable in them.Mistake No.3 – You Don’t Leverage Your ExpertiseThe amazing thing about the Internet is that it creates an almost equal footing between small entrepreneurs and big businesses. Everyone starts off as an equal, more or less, online. However in order to be successful online it’s a mistake to not leverage your current expertise. In the earlier example of being a computer whizz it’s a good idea to start building a good reputation with your past and current customers. Let them spread the word! You can start doing this by connecting with your customers in the places that they ‘hang out’ Look on Facebook, online discussion boards and forums where your customers are frequently visiting. Register online and start the process of letting yourself become known as an able and competent expert in your field by answering queries intelligently.To successfully earn money online you need to ensure you don’t accidentally make one of these mistakes. Don’t quit your day job just yet and instead dedicate some real time over the next couple of weeks and months to learn the basic concepts and language of your online market. Don’t venture completely into the dark with your online business as you already have enough to worry about and learn. You probably have an interest, hobby or expertise you can leverage. And when you get online, leverage your expertise rather than staying silent on all the good you can do. Actively go out and create connections with past and future customers in the places they hang out and by giving them great service you will create raving fans that will do more for you than any expensive marketing package. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://iscrsms.info/dont-make-the-following-3-mistakes-if-you-want-to-earn-money-online,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Best Way of Selecting Vehicle Insurance</title> <link>https://iscrsms.info/best-way-of-selecting-vehicle-insurance,html</link> <comments>https://iscrsms.info/best-way-of-selecting-vehicle-insurance,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 26 Mar 2023 16:15:42 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[auto finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[capital]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://iscrsms.info/?p=59</guid> <description><![CDATA[Automobile insurance is a community-mandated issue and every driver must attest financial duty in order for them to register their auto for their public use.

Even though communities will order the lowest limits of obligation drivers require insuring, they restrain from reminding the drivers on what should do about the absolute expense inferable. There are couples of things to consider when choosing auto insurance policy.Review your automobile financing settlement. In case your automobile is not paid cash and you took out loan or a leasing, examine your automobile financial contracts. Other financing companies specify the maximum deductible you can have on your car policy to keep in agreement with your car financing. Also you need to determine your available capital. A provable is not consider a onetime expense, a driver who is unfortunate to be involve in many car incidents, it required to spend his or her own cash for every amount of particular claim. Better choose a deductible that you can incur to pay for every single claim.Another is to recognize the make and year model of your vehicle. Car insurances deductible claims for prime expensive cars are dissimilar compare to the vehicles deductible claims that are almost 10 year. Make some evaluation on the standard cost of repair for the automobile before finalizing the kind of insurance to get. You must also consider the lacking capitals expenditures against the excellent insurance savings. The better the provable, there are lots of cash that can be saved on premium and on contrary. Allow the insurance agent to give you alternative quotes. Recognize the variation between the need of funds expenses as well as the potential premium savings to obtain before deciding the right one that will compliment your cash. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://iscrsms.info/best-way-of-selecting-vehicle-insurance,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Using Law Practice Management Software To Protect Your Practice From Liability</title> <link>https://iscrsms.info/using-law-practice-management-software-to-protect-your-practice-from-liability,html</link> <comments>https://iscrsms.info/using-law-practice-management-software-to-protect-your-practice-from-liability,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 26 Mar 2023 08:33:56 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[software]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://iscrsms.info/?p=56</guid> <description><![CDATA[Legal malpractice is rarely a result of misunderstanding or abusing the law.

Most cases stem from momentary carelessness or small errors. Law practice management software minimizes these mistakes, but it’s important to find the right application for your practice.Sources Of Liability ExposureThree major sources of malpractice liability are mismanagement of trust funds, noncompliance to court rules and mistakes in documents. Typically these are small errors, such as a missed court deadline or a misplaced comma, yet these seeming trivial errors can lead to expensive and drawn-out court battles. No matter how vigilant an attorney is, a fleeting lapse can lead to long-term repercussions.More errors are introduced when trying to streamline operations. An attorney might take an existing document and repurpose it for a new client, changing the names and details as needed. However, one missed detail, even a single “he” not changed to “she,” can invalidate the document and lead to serious problems for both the practice and the client.Software SolutionsLaw practice management software helps practices avoid these mistakes. Calendar applications ensure not only that everyone knows of relevant deadlines, but also that they manage their time effectively. Law accounting software manages trust funds and alerts users to non-compliance dangers. Document generation applications guide attorneys through each document, ensuring that no detail is overlooked, and no errors are introduced by trying to recycle old materials.It’s important to use an application specific to the legal industry, rather than trying to repurpose generic applications. Dedicated law accounting software has features designed to deal with issues specific to trust accounting. The same cannot be said of a typical business bookkeeping program. Trying to convert general systems for use in legal practices doesn’t provide the same protection as using industry-specific products.Improved Documentation And CommunicationLaw practice management software centralizes documentation and simplifies the process of data protection, backup and recovery. Calendars, client contact information, trust accounting history and other information is tracked, saved and safeguarded more effectively than would be possible with paper or generic applications. Each attorney has instant access to needed materials, and everyone works from a centralized source ensuring they are viewing the same data.Law accounting software and other applications enhance client communication. Reports are generated with a click, making it easier to get clients any and all information they need and ensuring both attorney and client are on the same page. Less miscommunication means better client service and less chance of liability issues due to misunderstandings.The best news is that law practice management software is no longer just for large law firms. Affordable and effective applications are available for practices of any size. Every firm can invest in tools such as law accounting software which allow them to serve their clients better, run their practices more efficiently, and protect themselves from liability. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://iscrsms.info/using-law-practice-management-software-to-protect-your-practice-from-liability,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Book a Hotel Room Online – The Easy Way to Travel and Get a Hotel!</title> <link>https://iscrsms.info/book-a-hotel-room-online-the-easy-way-to-travel-and-get-a-hotel,html</link> <comments>https://iscrsms.info/book-a-hotel-room-online-the-easy-way-to-travel-and-get-a-hotel,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 02 Feb 2023 06:45:07 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://iscrsms.info/?p=54</guid> <description><![CDATA[Are you ready to do some traveling, but you have a budget and you want to make sure you stay within that budget?

Did you know that you can book a hotel room online and save a ton of cash by doing so? You will get a huge discount compared to booking your room directly with the hotel if you use one of the many online websites to do so. Here are some travel tips to help you.First, when it comes to booking a hotel room online you need to know that there are sites that deal with much more than just hotels and these are the ones that will not get you the best discounts. They are set up to give you maximum discounts if you also book airfare and a rental car with them. The majority of your discount comes from the hotel stay, however and there are sites that can give you this discount for just the hotel.Second, to book a hotel room online you will need a credit card and an email address. They will most likely charge your credit card right away for your stay and if they don’t, then expect them to charge it when you get to the hotel. In some cases they will let you reserve your room with a credit card, then you can pay cash when you arrive and check in. This is all explained to you when you book a hotel room online.Last, your discount should be very large if you use a website that caters specifically to hotels and does not work with airfare and other things as well. These sites are out there and not hard to find if you look. They will get you a five star hotel that normally cost over $200 a night for around $99 a night. This is a great way to save money on your travel and stay within your budget. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://iscrsms.info/book-a-hotel-room-online-the-easy-way-to-travel-and-get-a-hotel,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
