			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your dog is not necessarily &#8220;hating it&#8221; when you touch his food. Nor is he being &#8220;mean&#8221;. He is communicating with you. What he is saying is, &#8220;This is MY food. Leave me alone while I eat it.&#8221; Is this a problem? You bet it is. It&#8217;s a big problem. It means your dog is alpha over you. There are different levels of dominance and even if your dog has never bitten, always keep in mind that growling or the bearing of a dogs teeth eventually does lead to biting. It is time you reassess your human to dog communication skills and take the alpha position back away from your dog before it escalates into a larger problem. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Interior designers are moving towards old traditions, as according to them, &#8220;old is new again&#8221;. Antiques and vintage pieces add life to a living space and makes interior of your house or workplace attractive. Thrift stores are the best place to look for cheap antique pieces which look extremely unique.</p>
<p>Rudiments of earth, linked to the resources of earth, are also in trend this year, as they are reflected in colours, deriving from plants, minerals and dirt. Tones are creating a matchless beauty, and rooms based on specific colour themes of light green and ocean blue give a pleasing impact to an individual.</p>
<p>Staying close to the real styles is one of the main characteristics of Interior design trends for 2010. Decorators are more into woods and metals. Wooden flooring and metallic cabinets and cupboards are &#8220;in&#8221; as compared to fully painted cabinets and carpeted flooring.</p>
<p>There was a time when wallpaper was common and liked by everyone, but gradually it lost its attraction, and people moved towards painted walls and ceilings. As history repeats itself, so once again wallpapers are &#8220;in&#8221;, and special patterns mainly in the colour shades of greens, blues, mustard and bronzes are becoming increasingly popular. Wallpapers create a visual impact in the room and break the monotonous outlook. These are extremely eye-catching and give a pleasurable affect.</p>
<p>Be bold! This is one of the mantras being used by interior decorators in establishing the new interior trends of the year 2010. Big wall hangings and picture frames are &#8220;in&#8221;, but one thing should be kept in mind that not too many wall pictures or decorative hangings are placed together, as they make the place look smaller and congested. Rugs are also &#8220;in&#8221; and placed as wall hangings as well as on floors.</p>
<p>Glamour and risk taking designs are very much in fashion in the year 2010, and people are looking forward to making their houses and workplaces unique and different from the typical looks. Interior designers have kept their fingers crossed as they believe that the mushrooming sense of optimism will be reflected in individuals as well as their surroundings, which best explain personality of the individuals.</p>
<p>In short, year 2010 is a year of new innovative designs and techniques. People are moving towards antique decorative pieces, whereas wallpaper is once again in trend with touch of ground-breaking patterns. Interior decorators want to reflect the individual moods into their homes and workplace, so one is not restricted to follow the styles entirely, rather people can bring changes to their living spaces according to their own tastes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Artists have been enchanted by the nude form of the human body since the dawn of time. Nudes feature heavily in statues and paintings through the ages. The relatively new art form of photography offers even more possibilities for creating nude art</p>
<p>If you want to create nude photos in a tasteful, artistic way, the secret is to take sex out of it. As soon as it looks like your model is trying to look sexy, the photo will start to look tacky. Trying to look sexy works fine in clothed photos &#8211; as seen everywhere in advertising. But a nude model trying to look sexy sends a clear message to the viewer that the aim of the photo is to titilate. If you want your photo to look artistic then make sure your model isn&#8217;t trying to look sexy.</p>
<p>An easy way to stop your nude photo from looking &#8216;glam&#8217; is by having the model look away. Virtually all tacky glamour photos have the model looking at the camera. So have her instead gaze off into the distance. Direct her to look &#8216;lost in thought&#8217;. Instantly it&#8217;ll look more artistic and &#8216;soulful&#8217;.</p>
<p>If you must have her looking at the camera, get her to look moody&#8230; Anything but sexy! If you look at European fashion, models like Kate Moss are often scowling in photos. Try to tell a story, show emotion. Your model&#8217;s instincts may be to pout and try to look seductive&#8230; Guide her to more interesting expressions if she&#8217;s looking at the camera, or to just look tranced out and dreamy when she&#8217;s looking away.</p>
<p>You can even frame the photo so that the model&#8217;s face isn&#8217;t in the picture. Then the body becomes an abstract shape rather than a person. Or have her head in the shot but angled so her face isn&#8217;t visible. Without an obvious face showing, the photo will become a study of shape and line.</p>
<p>The other important consideration is the lighting. &#8216;Page 3&#8242; photos are always well lit, with a bright background, and this isn&#8217;t what you want. It&#8217;s almost impossible to do anything artistic with too much light. What you need is atmosphere, and for that you need shadows. So position your model so the dominant light source is to the side or even behind her. Create shadows. Leave some of the nudity to the imagination.</p>
<p>Just these two things &#8211; moody lighting and having the model look away &#8211; will instantly make your nude photos look more artistic. Your model will appreciate it too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Human Resources professionals perform a wide variety of tasks and have varying degrees of responsibility depending on the industry in which they work, the size of their employer and many other factors</p>
<p>A human resource generalist may be responsible for all tasks relating to HR. In larger companies, there are typically a number of specialists within the HR department who are each responsible for areas such as employment and placement; compensation, and benefits; training and development; or labor relations.</p>
<p>Human resources career opportunities can be enhanced by taking courses in various fields such as business, social sciences and behavioral sciences. Having a technical or specialized background such as finance, law or engineering can be a great asset. If you want to pursue a management position, an advanced degree such as a master&#8217;s degree in human resources, labor relations, or in business administration with a concentration in HR management is desirable.</p>
<p>According to the U.S. Department of Labor, HR jobs are expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations. College graduates with specialized certifications will have the best human resources career opportunities. HR jobs will be created as a result of an increased demand for experts to address changes in legislation affecting wages, pensions, health care, occupational health and safety and equal employment opportunity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alarm home security systems are available in many different forms and levels of protection.  Whether you are hiring a professional security installation company, or you are going to do it yourself, there are critical design elements that should be considered that are covered here.</p>
<p>First you need to decide what level of coverage your budget allows.  If you agree to a longer term monitoring agreement, most alarm companies will offer a free or reduced installation of their basic package which includes 1 control panel, 1 keypad, 3 door contact, 1 motion detector, 1 siren, and 1 yard sign.  For most homeowners, this is an affordable way of getting some form of security for the home.  However, if you are willing to spend a little additional, you can really beef up your security by adding devices and contact points.</p>
<p>The most important areas of the house to cover is the back and the sides.  A burglar will look for an easy point of entry with plenty of cover so they will not get caught breaking in.  Burglars will ring the doorbell to see if anyone answers before they break in the front door.  If they do not hear any activity inside, they will kick in the door and close it behind them.  From the street, it is hard to tell that there is anything going on.  But should they decide to break a window on the front side of the house, then your neighbors could easily determine that there is something going on at your home.</p>
<p>The majority of burglaries occur through doors.  The side and back doors are the most often targeted.  Windows can also be an easy entry point.  If your primary concern is protection for your family while you are at home, then it may be wise to consider contacting all of the accessible windows on the home.  It may, however, be more cost effective to consider using motion detectors and glass break detectors if you are primarily interested in protecting your property while you are away.  This is because on most windows it is possible to simply break the window and climb in.  If the window is never opened, the contact never goes off.</p>
<p>A critical element in the design of a home security system is an interior trap.  The most common interior trap is a motion detector placed in the living area as a way of catching an intruder that got by the perimeter contacts.  Pet motions are available in different sizes that will detect intruders but filter out the animals.  However, these pet motions are absolutely not recommended for homeowners with cats.  By jumping so quick, a cat fools the motion into thinking that it is a person standing up.  A good alternative in this case is to use an interior door contact on a closet or bedroom door that is kept shut.  Should the burglar open the interior contacted door, then the alarm will sound.  But if the system is armed in the stay mode, the interior contact is bypassed so that you may open the door if necessary.</p>
<p>Glass break detectors are often requested by homeowners with animals.  Although glass break detectors are suggested by many alarm salespeople, you need to understand their limitations before spending your hard earned money on them.  A glass break detector is a line of sight product.  It is listening for the sound and vibration of a breaking glass, and it has to occur within milliseconds of each other.  This dual technology is designed to cut down on false alarms.  Faux wood blinds, shutters, and heavy draperies will greatly reduce or render the glass break detector totally ineffective.  In most homes the areas where a glass break can do the most good is around the glass above the master tub and back door glass.</p>
<p>Something else to consider in your security system design is to add a cellular back up to the system.  A cell back-up unit is designed to transmit the alarm signal even if the burglar decides to cut the home phone line.  There is an additional cost involved due to the cost of the unit and the monthly airtime, but it is the ultimate as far as alarm communications are concerned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, one only needs to learn how to manipulate a mouse, punch a few buttons on a keyboard, or really just turn the thing on to use a computer. It&#8217;s hard for some folks to believe, but the computers of this generation almost run themselves! For fun, let&#8217;s investigate just how little knowledge these thousand-dollar machines actually require.</p>
<p>Can an absolute newbie operate a computer without knowing how to use a mouse or keyboard? Assuming that a computer is set up to operate on voice command &#8211; sure! Voice command software allows users to tell a computer what to do and the computer responds by fulfilling the user&#8217;s commands. Although it&#8217;s pretty new and still under development, voice directed technology has already infiltrated consumer service related systems.</p>
<p>Think back to the last time that you paid a bill over the phone. Instead of speaking to a human being, chances are that you spoke to a computer that not only responded to what you said and followed the commands that you gave it, it also asked you for more information such as your full name or credit card number. In this case, a person (such as yourself) operated a computer without even knowing it!</p>
<p>Can an absolute newbie sit down at a computer without knowing how to use one? Assuming that a computer is set up to operate on touch command &#8211; the answer is again, yes! Touch command software allows users to literally touch objects on a monitor and tell the computer what to do with a finger. Known as &#8220;kiosks,&#8221; these programs are already in use world wide at ATM machines, employment centers, and in health monitoring systems.</p>
<p>Neither a mouse nor a keyboard is required. A computer user only needs to touch various boxes on a screen to control a computer. Sure, the programming behind such technology is extensive and advanced, but to the end user, it makes computer use less intimidating and plain easy.</p>
<p>Of course when we talk about operating a computer, we envision more involvement than speaking on the phone or touching things on a screen. The above illustrations were just a couple of examples of how far computer technology has grown, and how far we&#8217;ve pushed &#8220;user-friendliness&#8221; to its limit. Eventually, the keyboard and mouse will have to play a role when computer newbies have to work with one as a cash register, as a hotel booking program, or as a library&#8217;s catalog system.</p>
<p>These requirements don&#8217;t make computers any less easier to operate, but they don&#8217;t make them that much harder either. So much of today&#8217;s software is designed to accommodate the experience of a new user that anyone could get connected to the Internet, send an email message, and download an MP3 file within the first five hours of purchasing a personal PC.</p>
