GPS Devices and Your Job

Commuters braving rush hour know all too well how traffic jams can quickly tack on extra drive time. In an instant, a long string of red brake lights raises frustration levels that can pile extra stress onto an already hectic week. That's why real time customized traffic data streaming to your on-board GPS only makes sense.

Like having a traffic reporter seated in the car next to you, on-board GPS units offer detailed traffic data and freeway speed information. As alternative routes are proposed, many devices automatically calculate the estimated driving time and any additional mileage a driver must take to avoid bottle neck situations. When merged with Bluetooth technology, drivers can call home to give the family their estimated arrival time.

Higher end models such as Garmin's StreetPilot 2730 GPS Receiver offer larger screens that are easier to read, even in bright sunlight, and include convenient voice recognition.

Text to speech capabilities permit the unit to decode and pronounce street names, meaning that as the vehicle approaches a designated turn, the unit prompts drivers to turn left onto Bay Street, for example, instead of simply ordering them to turn left (without naming the street) as most basic models do.

While all GPS Units have the capability to constantly seek out alternative routs and subsequently avoid traffic jams, higher end models double as satellite FM radio broadcasters. These models allow you to listen to your favorite commercial-free music as well as real time traffic reports and weather forecasts while commuting home or to work. Other models are even capable of playing the MP3 format giving you the added freedom to listen to your music collection or favorite audio book.

Commuters who travel with their laptops may opt to transform their computers into GPS units byway of special navigational software. Just remember than since you can't mount your laptop to the dashboard, frequent glances to a screen in the passenger's seat could prove dangerous in heavy traffic situations. However a laptop screen is much larger than those on most GPS devices and most software includes voice recognition, still only available on higher end GPS units.

Given the many options, the best advise is to shop around and decide which model suits your needs. Then you're halfway on the road towards less wearisome commutes.

How Carpool Helps To Beat Traffic Jam

Are you tired of traffic jams each and every day you go to work? Have you seen, when you were driving in rush-our, that so many cars are empty? Maybe you are wondering how stupid thing is that.

When you're stuck in a traffic jam, it is really hard to think clearly. You feel frustration, and start to rage. Traffic jam is undoubtedly annoying, but not necessary. Traffic is people, you don't only sit in the traffic jam, you are the traffic jam. You can blame yourself as well. Do you sit in your car alone? If your answer is yes, you should consider few things.

Traffic congestion has been a major problem nowadays, imposing significant costs on the world economy. It occurs when there are enough cars on the road that you always have to check everywhere before doing anything. You have to concentrate, so you drive a little slower. When everybody starts to do that, then you get slower traffic, and people start to wonder how to beat the traffic. Some of them change lanes to try to catch the fastest lane. That's where the problem starts. The more lane changing they make, the more crowded the road will seem to be, and the worse the traffic jam will become.

By forming carpools, passengers can share a vehicle and travel together, thereby saving on different costs. Carpooling makes lot of sense, it saves oil, saves money and saves the environment. This alternative transportation means less pollution. And the most obviously, it reduces traffic congestion.

Each individual driver should realize their own responsibility for crowded roads. Cars do a lot of harm to us. Just share a ride to work with a colleague or neighbor, or with somebody who would like to travel to the same destination, and take advantage of the carpool lanes if you have in your country.

The phenomenon of single-occupant vehicle as a primary form of transportation in our days is resulting in more traffic, more congestion, longer travel times and more stress. If you have the chance to pick up somebody on your way, but you don't know anybody who with you can travel together, just try carpool services. People are beginning to realize the benefits of carpooling. These sites bring them together.

Share a ride as many times as you can. If you do that, you'll see that you'll be more relaxed, because you can share driving responsibilities. When you don't have to drive, you are free to read, take your laptop, sleep, or do absolutely nothing but enjoy the ride. It is even good for your health. Studies show that solo drivers are more likely to have higher blood pressure and heart rates, and even short-term memory loss as a result of the stress.

By working together, we could have better travel conditions and improve the quality of life.

Six Tips For TARGETING Your Prospects

Six Tips For TARGETING Your Prospectsby James Shutt

Would you like to have the webtraffic that the top promotors get? You can buy MLM leads or use a traffic system. I am going to give you a few ways to attract more qualified prospects to your program and tell you ways to help them once they are part of your business.

1. Laser Target Your Potential Prospects You must target people who want what you are selling. You don't want to sell your program or products to a very general audience. If you are too general, your response rate will be very low and of poor quality. If you are in a health food MLM, you don't want people that are interested in selling cell phones looking at your opportunity, you want people who are interested in selling health food products.

2. Get The Best Bang For Your Buck Learn how to properly advertise on pay-per-click search engines. Don't be too general - you need specific keywords that apply to what you are offering. If done properly, this is one of the best ways to bring qualified prospects to your site.

3. Test, Test & Test Again You can always improve on your advertising copy. Different ad copy, with some changes to your ads, can make a big difference to your click through rate. Test many keywords with changes to your ad and see what works best. Promote the ads that receive the most click throughs to get the targeted prospects to your site.

4. Other Options You know Google is one of the biggest, but they are certainly not the only search engine out there. If you are just starting out or have a limited budget, look at some other options like GoClick and Search-World. There are so many places online that offer pay-per-click advertising that it could make your head spin...but stay focused and just start small with one or two ads.

5. Have A System And A Plan You would be surprised to realize how many people get into MLM and Network Marketing that just sign up to a program and then sit there and do nothing. So, will it surprise you to find out that the reason they are doing nothing is because they don't have a clear plan of action?

6. Your Website & Follow Up Your website needs to be your sales page. If you are getting website traffic but no signups, there is a problem with your website design. You need to have a way to "capture" your prospects name and phone number when they come to your site.When you start getting prospects to your site, make sure you contact them and say something like, " I see you visited my site. I would just like to introduce myself to you and see if you have any questions." This is what will set you apart from everyone else.How many times have you recieved personal support from your upline? Sure, sometimes you may get lucky, but the majority would say, "Once I got in I was on my own." For assured success: Make sure you follow up with everyone and make sure they have a plan of action and goals.

Just support your new members like you would like to be treated yourself. You need a "system" that they can follow, and give your new business partners a day by day, step by step plan of action that they can follow. If you do it right, you will have a true MLM system that works. A traffic system will allow you to drive more qualified prospects to your website, assuring that you can make money online instead of wasting your time and money on useless advertising.

Traffic jam in Thailand

Thailand is a country that has copied legal and administrative systems from the West. These lie uneasily in the Thai way of doing things. Rather than be seen as a bulwark of the democratic state, they are constantly and cynically abused by those whose duty it is to uphold them, as vehicles to advantage and enrich themselves.
Moreover, I cannot in all truth see that there is the slightest will to change this in any way. Culturally, the country is simply not capable of being a sophisticated democracy and will continue to be a weak and shallow copy abused by its leaders.
The City of Bangkok is rushing to solve the traffic woes on a sustainable basis, by advancing the city on the construction of a multi-mass transport system based on single ticketing system.
Traffic problems

There are a few points I wish to raise concerning the "Innovative Bangkok policeman who has invented a device that allows him to change traffic lights remotely so that he can help motorists and arrest wrongdoers while performing his duty
1. All traffic controls can run automatically, so there is need for anyone to change the lights. One major cause of the traffic problem in this country is that law enforcers are not doing their job but want to play the role of traffic engineer.

2. The remote control system mentioned in the article can be made by any technician, so who can guarantee that no one else will try to get one, too? And very soon Bangkok will surely be a real hell.
One recent grand idea thought up by the police about mobile phone use, even with good safety intentions, still lacks practicality. Why can't we be allowed to use the phone?
Deputy Bangkok governor Bannasopit Mekwichai had discussions on the route extension with related agencies on Friday including the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning, the Metropolitan Electricity Authority and the contractor on how to ease the traffic problem when construction begins
