...Ways to Save Money Teresa Christensen EN1150 - Composition I SP12 May 18, 2012 Abstract Saving money can be easy for some people and difficult for others. There are many ways to save money and a few of these will be discussed here. Saving money can benefit anyone. One can do this by eating out less, finding other ways of transportation, and only shopping for necessary items. People can save money by buying at the grocery store and plan meals. Carpooling can save a person quite a bit of money when they only have to pitch in for gas rather than filling their own tank. Buying generic versus name brand can also save a lot of money. This will help anyone to save money without taking away to many things that you like to do in life. Ways to Save Money There are hundreds of ways to save money. Many people just purchase what is easy and convenient instead of what will save them money in the long run. Saving money in some ways can benefit you in other ways. This can help you to plan family vacations or to get that one thing that you have wanted for a very long time. Some of the ways to save money include making food at home versus eating out, using alternate means of transportation to save on gas expenses, and making a list of items you need at the grocery store to ensure that you are not buying unnecessary items. When eating out, people spend more money than they would by buying items at a grocery store to make food at home. If you feel that eating out is much easier to...

...without money, many things will not success and we will get into many trouble in our life. We all know that we need to save money, but most of the people do not save like they know they need to save. Why ? Because most of them feel that they had completed their goals. The goals are about to buy a sport shoes, a branded handbag or something else.Nonetheless, we should saving money be like Warren Buffet. As everyone knows who he is and how successful he was. Therefore, we should be brilliant on how to save the money in our daily life. There are a lot of benefits that we can gain if we save money day-to-day. For instance, if a doctor told you that your child was dying and could only be saved with a $15,000 operation that your insurance would not cover and could only be performed nine months from today, could you save $15,000 in nine months? The answer is no, you could not! Because of lacking money, you need to borrow money from other people and this is the reason why saving money is significant. As the saying goes, repair the house before it rains. Saving money will become a priority for everyone. First and foremost, the most important why we should save money is that it helps us to fulfill our needs. If we save RM 2 everyday since young, we can buy anything that we want in the future. As an illustration, a laptop is a must for every university student. To minimise the burden on parents, try to save money since young. Many a little make a mickle. If you cultivate the...

...Consumerism: Using coupons to save money Gina York ENG102 May 23, 2012 Sarah Giragosian Consumerism: Using coupons to save money Consumers face daily struggles. However, many would say that the one thing they struggle with the most is how to find ways to stretch their paycheck enough to cover the bills and put food on the table. In fact, despite having two paychecks coming in, the average American family is still unable to make ends meet. While we can eliminate some things from our daily lives, such as the $5 cup of coffee at the local “Java Joe’s”, we cannot eliminate our daily need for food and basic necessities. Consequently, with the continued downturn in the economy, people have had to become more creative in finding ways to save money. Using coupons to aid in discounting products is widely becoming the method of choice. Consumers have had to make some very hard decisions based on income and necessities. We have all had to “tighten our belts” and “watch our pennies”. “During these hard economic times, many people are looking for new ways to save money on as many things as possible. Groceries, electric and other utility bills, as well as on other items like diapers and baby care supplies, cleaning supplies and paper products.” (How to Save Money With Grocery Coupons, 1999-2012) Along with the ever present thought of saving and keeping our hard earned dollars in mind, many have returned to the days of our grandmothers, known for saving their pennies. We realize that...

...20 years, it has become very evident that recycling can reduce global warming and help save our planet for future generations. We all enjoy being able to take a vacation to the beach or to the mountains and enjoy a clean healthy environment. It would be a shame if our grandchildren couldn’t enjoy this in the future. According to WN.com, the United States generates HALF of the world's garbage each year, which equals about 250 million tons of waste, with only 30% being recycling. That is a huge impact on the ecosystem and the effects it produces towards global warming. It’s astounding that the USA can contribute so much, but take into account, we are a wasteful society. The good news is, this can and should be changed by simply increasing our efforts individually to reduce the waste. Instead of people polluting the earth, what we could do is make recycling mandatory by putting taxes on the volume of rubbish householders put out for the sanitation workers to collect. This in turn will make people want to recycle and act as an incentive to dispose of anything recyclable at recycling point for which they do not have to pay. This would encourage people to want to recycle and save money for other necessities. In many other countries they do recycle, such as Europe. In Switzerland the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) collect there rubbishes to recycle. SBB recycles 2.5 million plastic bottles, weighing 65,000 kg, 2 million aluminum cans, weighing 29,000 kg, and nearly 1 million glass bottles...

...Have you ever think about death? If you have the ability to save someone’s life, without sacrificing anything, would you do it? There are more than 150,000 people die in Australia every year. Most of them were died for cardiovascular diseases, cancer, injury and respiratory diseases. Also, at this moment in Australia there are 79,000 patients on the transplant waiting list. Each day more than 100 people are added to the national transplant waiting list and 17 people die unnecessarily simply because the organ they need is not available. This is a crisis and it has a cure. Almost everyone has the power to save their live, including you and me. Imagine that for the past 5 years you have been to hospital 3 times a week for dialysis, the only thing can help you at this point is a new kidney, because the dialysis is not a lifetime solution. Think about how frustrating and anxious you might be to live a life waiting for a organ transplant that could be much more easily if a great amount of people donate it. After a transplant of a vital organ, the average survival rate is over 80%. A massive increase from the 20% that would live without the surgery. With medical breakthroughs, and a organ and tissue donation, you can help save the live of many people all over the world. One person who donates organs (hearts, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas and intestines) can save up to ten lives, while a tissue donor (corneas, bone, skin, heart valves, tendons, veins, etc.) can improve 12 or more...

...of organs is a serious problem with many contributing factors. A. We all herd different reasons from one person or another why you shouldn’t be an organ donor but all of them are just myths. 1. For example, have you ever heard that if you are in an accident and the hospital realizes you are an organ donor, then the doctors will not try as hard to save your life? a. According to Organdonor.gov, this is not true because a hospital’s main concern is always to save lives. b. The medical team is completely separate from the transplant team. c. The transplant team, called the Organ Procurement Organization, or OPO, is not even notified until death is legally declared and the family has been contacted. 2. Others are under the impression that they are not able to donate. a. For example, have you ever thought that you were too young to donate your organs? Well, you are not. b. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, anyone can indicate their intent to donate organs with their parents’ consent if there under the age of 18. c. Organs from newborns as well as the elderly are always needed. (Internal transition) Even if you have doubts about your eligibility, it is worth it to make plans anyway. If you intend to be a donor, it is critical that you plan properly. B. Tragically...

...In the mist of survival people are most often faced with treacherous decisions that can be the difference between life and death and sometimes it is not always their own death. Many people raise the question “Is survival selfish?” It depends on many different factors like, is it better to save yourself or risk dying to try to save others, but what if then no one gets out alive. The selfishness of one’s survivability is harshly depended upon the situation and not everyone will not react the same, follow the rules, and not everyone will not follow their original plan. Not everyone reacts the same in a survival situation. When it comes to making a decisions within a group not everyone is going to agree with the outcome. In “Is Survival Selfish?”...

...com/tutorials/optimizing-images-for-web-35/ Optimizing images for web I noticed how many people don't optimize their images properly, which results in extremely slow loading time. When you intend to publish your images online, you have to comprimise the quality — just face the fact you cannot use a 100KB image on a website layout. It's not fair to your visitors. This tutorial will explain in detail how to use Photoshop's Save for web... option. Facts about image formats There are many image formats available, but only a few work on web. They differ in some important properties, and you should learn how to use them best. There are two kinds of image compression, lossy and lossless. Lossy compression means once you decompress the compressed data, you will not get the exact same image as the original. However, this will only be visible at a closer look. Lossy compression is good for web, because images use small amount of memory, but can be sufficiently like the original image. When you decompress a lossless image, you will get exactly the same image as the original. This compression uses greater amount of memory, so at times it may not be good for web. JPEG JPEG is a format name, .jpg is the extension for it. This image type is lossy, and you can control the compression level in image editors. It is good for saving images with millions of colors, like photographs, drawings with many shades, images containing gradients etc. GIF This format is a bitmap, which means it's...

...SLIDE 1: When asked if they would like to become an organ donor, many people ask themselves, SLIDE 2: Why should I donate my organs? SLIDE 3: What are the benefits? SLIDE 4: Are there any reasons not to? (Pause) For many people the topic of organ donation can be a touchy one. Many have religious beliefs against the practice, or apply to certain conspiracy theories that put forth horror stories of patients who would have otherwise survived. SLIDE 5: Despite these concerns, the fact remains that at any given point in time, over 114,000 patients in the United States alone are on waiting lists to receive organ donations. Less than 50% of these patients will ever receive the organs they need to survive. Every person who becomes an organ donor has the potential to save one or more of lives. SLIDE 6: As you can see, the number of organ donors is gradually increasing from only about 7,000 in 1991 to over 14,000 in 2011. SLIDE 7: However, many more patients are still waiting. As previously mentioned, over 114,000 Americans are awaiting a donation – which corresponds to about 1 donor for every 8 people. There are many organs that can be donated such as the liver, heart, and pancreas, but kidney’s are in the highest demand. SLIDE 8: These graphs shows the various organs that are in demand from specific age groups and the percent of transplant candidates who are waiting. Children younger than age 5 most commonly need liver transplants, while kidneys are the...

Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to consider becoming organ donors after death Introduction: Ladies and gentlemen, today I am here to share with you my views on organ donation, in the hope that you will take them on board and give someone the ultimate gift after you have left this earth the gift of life. Almost everyone would want to be able to say “I have saved a life.” But by becoming an organ donor, you can be able to say “I will save a life.” Organ donation is a selfless way to give back to others, and to be able to make a huge difference by giving another person a second chance at life.

Patients are forced to wait months, even years for a match, and far too many die before they are provided with a suitable organ. There are many stigmas related to organ donation, but most of them are relatively false, and in order to be well informed, you must know what organ donation is, how it works as well as how you can become an organ donor and what organs or tissues you can donate.

...A vehicle type that is often overlooked by many individuals due to its small size is a subcompact car, which can be a bit of a mistake simply because these vehicles offer a wide range of benefits because of their size. Listed below are three reasons to consider purchasing a subcompact car. It Will Be Much Easier To Find A Parking Spot A nice aspect of owning a subcompact car is that it can make it much easier to find a parking spot. For example, due to the small size of a compact car, you will often find it easier to park in those parking spaces at your local store that tend to be a tight fit when the people on either side of the space have parked too close to the lines and made it next to impossible for a larger vehicle to fit. The small size of the subcompact car also means that you have more room to maneuver and a larger margin of error when attempting to parallel park. In addition, when you do park in a standard-sized space with a subcompact car, it is going to be much harder for someone to just fling their car door open and ding your vehicle simply because there will be quite a bit of space between your car in the center of the space and the edges of your parking space....
