Recycling electronic and computer equipment in Calgary initiative by a computer retailer
(ContentDesk) April 15 2004 -- Unwanted electronics fill our landfills, at a staggering rate. The people at Express Computer Store have decided to take a first step, in dealing with the impact of the millions of tons of electronics currently ending up in our countries landfills. They have joined the Electronic Recycling Associations list of retailers to accept old electronics back for recycling at their store. This promises a start to responsibly dealing with this modern concern. Express Computer Store and Electronic Recycling Association partner up to offer this joint program to organizations and individuals in Calgary with electronic equipment fit for recycling.
Companies are asked to drop off their items at Express Computer Store. From there, these items will be collected by the Electronic Recycling Association of Alberta and dealt with appropriately. Currently accepting computers, laptops, stereo equipment, VCRs, DVDs, and other electronic items for recycling. Donated electronic equipment will be accepted free of charge from companies and individuals. Equipment will put it to good use by providing it to people on low incomes, charities, start up businesses and any other groups that can benefit from this social and environmentally beneficial program.
Under one of the charitable programs operated by ERA, serviceable surplus I.T. can also be repaired and sold, with these revenues donated to charity. Unusable equipment will be provided to specialist companies that are members of the Electronic Recycling Association and can recycle these items environmentally. This location is one of a few to start taking initiative in reducing the amount of possibly toxic waste from reaching our landfills. Currently there are no laws or regulations to prevent anyone from dumping large amounts of electronic equipment there.
Alberta government is attempting to develop a program for collection of this type of waste. The Electronic Recycling Association of Alberta is leading the way in taking on the problem. They are working on setting up this program with all electronics retailers. One-day events do not address the entire problem. This program is the solution.
Event notice: John Howard Society and Electronic Recycling Association of Alberta are planning a community event on the 21st of April. This event will be geared towards non-for profit organizations and different charities that are in need of equipment to enable their business to operate. All Alberta based non-for profit groups and charities are invited to attend and request equipment from the E.R.A. Electronic Recycling Association of Alberta is a non-for profit organization working with the public and private sector helping companies and the public deal with unwanted electronic items. Electronic Recycling Association currently provides computer equipment to The Alex Center in Calgary to help their "Woman on a Shoestring" program.
This program is geared towards business women on low incomes that could not otherwise afford this type of equipment. Further equipment is being refurbished by E.R.A technicians and will be provided to more individuals in need through this program. Electronic Recycling Association also provides Engineers without Borders of the University of Calgary with computer equipment to be used in their overseas IT training program Scala Project with different schools and organizations. /T/FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND TO DROP OFF YOUR ITEMS PLEASE CONTACT:By phone in Alberta 403-210-9737Express Computer StoreMcLeod Trail SW, Calgary, AB T2J0P6(403) 640-2129Electronic Recycling Association of AlbertaBojan Paduh(403) 262-4488Email: e-mail protected from spam botsWebsite: www.era.ca.

It's getting ever easier to do and there is a growing list of practical purposes for all of them. To make things better there are hundreds of places to buy cheap domain names these days so your site can look that much more professional.
While it was once more cost effective to build a site off of another domain name?something like www.freehosting.com/yourname --it never looked that good. For a personal site no one cared, but for a business or organization it took a lot away from its credibility and style. From the very beginning of the world wide web a non independent domain has reeked of tackiness.
At the present, such things are only really acceptable when used for personal or not for profit web sites.
The fact that cheap...

Speakers, Communicate Your Career To The Next Level: Top 7 Tips To Talk Your Speaking Career To The Top
Not too long ago, I walked into a room where some of the country's top oncologists were preparing to launch a new cancer-fighting drug. The occasion was the group's rehearsal before a big presentation to the Federal Drug Administration. Given that these men and women are some of the best and brightest in their field, I thought the rehearsal would be a breeze. So, I sat down, pen poised to make a few notes so I could help them fine-tune their presentations and be ready for the onslaught of media that was sure to follow.
What a letdown. Five articulate, highly educated, well-dressed presenters, armed with shiny animated slideshows, droned on and on and on and on.
It didn't matter what they were saying because the audience wouldn't really hear any of it anyway. Around me, eyes closed, and others pretended to take notes while playing solitaire on their laptops. I wondered how in the world I could help these presenters. I also thought about tripling my consultation fee...

Go With Quality Over Quantity And Your Business Will Prosper
In the early days of developing my home business, I went for the numbers instead of focusing on targeting prospects. It took me a while to appreciate the importance of targeting (quality) instead of just going for the big numbers (quantity). For online marketing, it helps greatly to get your website in front of people who are actually looking for the product, service, or opportunity that you are offering. This refers to the concept of marketing your sites to your target audience, rather than wasting your time, effort, and money on people who are not already interested in what you have to offer. Be wary of "massive action" techniques in this era when many ISPs feel their hottest marketing theme is the blocking of incoming emails, which they decide their customers do not want to receive (they are the self appointed "information police").
Many of the sources of cheap, high volume leads supply you with leads that have absolutely no interest in your particular business (or product...
