Political fund raising is often very misunderstood with all that happens in politics. There are millions of dollars raised every year for one campaign or another. There are some very basic rules to apply for raising money when running for a political office or position. This article will look at some of the dos and don’ts of political fund raising.The first key in political fund raising is to have a defined goal and solid plan of action. You need to make sure that you plan out each step for your political fund raiser and then stay on track. You should make sure you have your entire fundraising strategy plan ready to go before announcing your candidacy.Once you announce that you are running for a particular office or

You may not believe it, but stevia’s main extract, stevioside is about 300 times as sweet as table sugar. Even its dried leaves are at least 30 times sweeter than sugar. What is extremely surprising is that Stevia has no calories, no carbs, no synthetic sweeteners like saccharin or aspartame (better known as Equal and NutraSweet) and no adverse effects on diabetics. More than that, many claim that it possessed several beneficial medicinal properties, although scientific studies have yet to confirm and evaluate such claims.Origins of SteviaStevia is a native of two South American countries Paraguay and Brazil. For hundreds of years, people there used it to sweeten their beverages. Now several countries in the Far East,
Open to uncertainty
Two days before I sat down to begin this article, I was rushing around like a mad woman (and most of this rushing took place inside of my head) trying to get a certain number of things prepared for a chain of events that were scheduled to take place the next day.
I spent more time worrying about it and measuring out the exact timing of how everything had to happen, than I did actually carrying out my planned actions. Hence, I was delayed in starting my actions and ended up sacrificing my self-care by staying up far too late and getting up far too early in order to finish my preparations.
And do you know what happened? Nothing turned out the way it was supposed to. The meeting I planned for was cancelled, the friend I was making the dinner for got stuck in snowy weather and couldn't make it, and on it went.
A-hah, I thought, there must be a lesson here.
And then I read this section of Michael Gelb's "How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci," and I got it. The section is called, "Sfumato: A willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox and uncertainty."

As a reminder, a put gives an owner the right but not the obligation to sell a certain stock, at a specific price, by a specified date. For this opportunity, the buyer pays a premium. The seller, who receives the premium, is obligated to take delivery of the stock should the buyer wish to sell the stock at the strike price by the specified date. A strategically used put offers maximum protection against substantial loss. The Protective Put, also referred to as a “married put,” “puts and stock” or “bullets,” is an ideal strategy for an investor who wants full hedging coverage for their position. Whereas the Covered Call Strategy will cover an investor down

Remember the time your company restructured and changed its name? When you threw out hundreds of business cards, a few dozen reams of letterhead and a heap more stuff that added to a huge waste pile? What, you haven't been restructured? Well I have; so often I could write a book about it (and probably will! ... watch this space).When I last worked for a firm that restructured, my staff identified thousands of dollars worth of personnel forms that became obsolete overnight. I hate waste. I couldn't bear the thought of sending all that paper to the dump to be unceremoniously burned.I gave a heap of paper to kindergartens, primary schools and anyone else who could use it. I took home several reams to use for draft copies

The IRS understands that you need to save for retirement. Often your nest egg builds faster if you don't have to pay taxes on retirement savings until you are ready to retire and withdraw your money. The idea is that you will be in a lower tax bracket once you retire. The money is taxed as it is withdrawn.Retirement accounts through your employer, such as 401(k)s and company sponsored IRAs, give you added benefits. Your contributions to your account are made in pretax dollars, which means that you are saving more than if you only contributed after-tax dollars. Because you deduct your contributions from your gross income, you are paying less in taxes.There are other accounts, such as Roth IRAs, that allow you to contri

There was no room for uncertainty in the day that I was planning. I had concocted a tight schedule of events and preparations and everything depended on everything else going just perfectly.
Of course, by the time the day arrived, if everything HAD gone on as planned, I was far too exhausted to enjoy or fully take part in any of it.
If I'd been open to uncertainty and willing to trust that events would unfold as they were meant to (not how I expected them to), I wouldn't have been so concerned about timing everything so perfectly.
Having a sense of humour is hugely important when it comes to being tolerant of uncertainty. Luckily I was able to quickly see the irony of how the day was unfolding, and I just focused in on how grateful I was – I was already prepared for whenever the meeting got rescheduled, my friend made it home safely, and I now had time to take a nap to catch up on my sleep.
Open to ambiguity
"If you're not sure what to do, then you have got the idea." (Page 152)
Gelb discusses the connection between ambiguity and anxiety. Anxiety builds when we don't know how things will turn out, when we don't know exactly what path or actions to take or how it's all going to fit together in the end.
Then he points out that most of don't know when we're anxious about so
