How To Get Started With Outsourcing

Wow, it has been several weeks since I last update this blog. Well, sometime laziness just get over the better of me. Anyway, I was? also caught up with both work as well as some personal commitments past several weeks so much so each time I decide to blog, mental block sets in and I call it off another day.? The condition went on and on for several weeks. There are many ways to expedite the writing of? quality post and to keep your mental juice flowing no matter where you are or what you do.

Time sure pass quickly, the Olympic is in full swing and here I am writing this post from my nephew?s bedroom in Surrey UK.? I am in UK on a personal trip and will be spending the next ten days here before heading back for sunny warm and humid Singapore.

One of the most interesting aspect about online business marketing is that you can practically do it from anywhere in the world, all you need is a computer and Internet connection. In the near future, you might even be able to operate and run an entire business empire via a tablet PC such as an iPad or a smart phone,? absolutely not kidding though.

This brings me to another key point; that of why it is important to keep the momentum going on blogging otherwise the traffic to your website will be impacted.? Search engines are attracted to sites that are frequently updated with fresh quality content. Unfortunately not everyone enjoy writing or knows how to create quality content all the time.

One way to maintain consistency in posting quality information is by creating articles beforehand when you are in writing mood. You can then schedule the posts to be publish at later dates. You can relief yourself from the time consuming tasks of creating search engine optimize posts by outsourcing content writing? to contract content providers or experience freelance article writers.

Practically every aspect of any online business can be outsource. ?There is only so much you can do within a day and the best proven method to get more things done in an hour is by having more relevant, qualified and suitable people to help out.

Be On Top Of The Business, Not Into The Business
One of the most common thing that most Internet marketers commit is that of trying to do everything by themselves.? Moreover, many newbie and novice aspiring online marketers are constraints in terms of budget and money to invest in the business.

It is alright to learn and do as much of the activities during the initial start up phase but you need to make it point to set aside some of the profits you make back into the business in areas that could improve your productivity,increase your sales, new product creation, customer experience, branding and etc.

If you try to micro manage and personally carry out every tiny bits of the work you will soon burn out.? No doubt there are some people who makes good living by operating a solo home based online business but the odds are stack against the majority. The Internet world is every changing and you can?t be expert in everything.

No doubt it is good to gain real experience by hands-on however, once you understand the fundamentals,? you should move on to focus on building the business instead of overloading yourself with the tedious repetitive time consuming tasks such as product creation, traffic generation and etc. Focus and capitalize on your strength, do what you are good at and enjoy doing.

Engage Professionals
Leave those tasks you are not well versed to others who are more qualified and experience. Of course sometimes it is important for you to be familiar with critical functions, even those that you aren?t familiar with or which you do not like for instance business financial planning and marketing strategy.

How To Sub Contract Your Internet Business
There are two factors you need to consider namely 1) what areas of your Internet business to outsource and 2) who or what company to sub contract to.?? It can be? a nightmare if you approach the wrong person for the job? or you identify the wrong components or areas of work to sub-out.

The third party that you sign up with to get the work done might already have several other projects at hand. English may not be their first language and they might be located on a different time zone.? Miscommunication is a common problem so you have to underpin ways and means to converse with them.

I have uploaded a video training program on introduction to outsourcing. It provides basic information on what you need to know and expect from it. I hope you will enjoy and learn something out of it. Do drop me a note if you like it or there?s other more information you wish to know about.

Hosts beat Argentina amid Falklands row

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain beat Argentina 4-1 on Monday in a physical but fair match between two teams who said they blocked out any rivalry stemming from a dispute between the nations over a tiny south Atlantic archipelago 30 years ago.

Despite several tough tackles, some strong words, and a total of five time suspensions between two and 10 minutes, not unusual in hockey, it remained a fair match.

Athletes playing in front of roaring British spectators, who chanted "Rule Britannia", afterwards glossed over the heightened media attention due to the politics of the game.

"We were just focusing on our sport and we are not thinking about the situation. It's for another moment, not for now," said Argentina's Rodrigo Vila after the match.

Diplomatic relations between the two nations have soured this year, the 30th anniversary of their brief war over the British-run Falkland Islands, with Buenos Aires pushing hard to have the islands recognized as Argentine territory.

Britain has refused to back down, arguing that the destiny of the islands, called Las Malvinas in Argentina, should be decided by their 3,000 inhabitants.

Those bitter territorial tensions have spilled over into the world of sport, with media on both sides of the ocean hamming up the significance of battles on the field of play.

Soccer fans in England, part of Britain, still bear a grudge over Diego Maradona's "Hand of God" goal - when he punched the ball into the net - which helped Argentina put an end to England's World Cup dreams in 1986, just four years after the Falklands war.

TELEVISION ADVERTISEMENT

Argentina then touched a nerve in May with a state-supported television advertisement showing a hockey player training in the Falklands. The video ended with the voiceover: "To compete on English soil, we are training on Argentine soil."

Asked about the video, Argentina's coach Pablo Lombi said: "It is a long time ago now... Today (was) just a hockey game."

Although the player featured in the advertisement, Fernando Zylberberg, did not make Argentina's Olympic hockey squads, Britain accused Argentina of abusing the Games for political purposes.

British Prime Minister David Cameron stirred things up in June warning Argentina that Britain stood "ready and willing to stand up for the Falkland Islanders at any time".

In the joint news conference after the games, the two team's captains, sitting next to each other, were chatting while one of the coaches answered a question and British coach Jason Lee said he had given his team a different source of motivation.

"I would hope that their biggest motivation was that if they didn't play well or they didn't win, I was going to rip their heads off," he told reporters.

"It was all right that there was some needle in the game. But that's because it's the Olympic Games. I think if you didn't see that in the game, then we didn't do well," agreed British skipper Barry Middleton, who scored the first two of his side's goals.

His team mate Dan Fox then scored his first international goal, followed by a penalty corner from Richard Smith, before the world number fours gave Argentina, ranked ninth, a chance to score with 15 minutes to go.

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner will not attend the Games and media have reported her telling the country's 142 Olympic athletes at their send-off not to stage any Falklands protests in London.

The Argentine national Olympic Committee quickly distanced itself from the video in May.

Liver cancer cells stop making glucose as they become cancerous

COLUMBUS, Ohio As liver cancer develops, tumor cells lose the ability to produce and release glucose into the bloodstream, a key function of healthy liver cells for maintaining needed blood-sugar levels.

The findings come from a study by scientists at The Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC James).

The loss of this type of glucose production, a process called gluconeogenesis, is caused by the over-expression of a molecule called microRNA-23a. The change might aid cancer-cell growth and proliferation by helping to maintain high levels of glycolysis under conditions of drastically reduced mitochondrial respiration, also known as the Warburg effect.

The findings suggest that suppressing miR-23a might reverse this process and offer a new treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer.

The research is published in the journal Hepatology.

"This study identifies an important mechanism that severely blocks glucose production and its release from the liver as liver cells transform into cancer cells," says principal investigator Dr. Samson Jacob, professor of molecular and cellular biochemistry and William and Joan Davis Professor in Cancer Research, Division of Hematology and Oncology at Ohio State and co-leader of the OSUCCC James Experimental Therapeutics Program. "It is conceivable that delivery of an anti-miR23a to the tumor site could reverse this."

For this study, Jacob and his colleagues used an animal model that develops diet-induced HCC, along with primary-tumor samples from patients and HCC cell lines. The mouse model mimics different stages of human hepatocarcinogenesis. Key findings include:

• Levels of enzymes in the gluconeogenesis pathway were drastically reduced, along with transcription factors involved in the expression of the genes encoding those enzymes.
• miR-23a expression was significantly up-regulated in the animal model and in primary human HCC.
• miR-23a suppresses the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase and the transcription factor PGC-1a, two important components of the gluconeogenesis pathway.
• Interleukin-6 and Stat-3 signaling cause the upregulation of miR-23a.

"Based on our data," Jacob says, "we conclude that gluconeogenesis is severely compromised in HCC by IL6-Stat3-mediated activation of miR-23a, which directly targets and suppresses glucose-6-phosphatase and PGC-1a, leading to decreased glucose production in HCC."

Jacob notes that since glucose-6-phosphatase is also essential for liver cells to convert glycogen (the storage form of glucose) to glucose, suppression of this enzyme can block all pathways leading to glucose production by the liver.

Solove Research Institute strives to create a cancer-free world by integrating scientific research with excellence in education and patient-centered care, a strategy that leads to better methods of prevention, detection and treatment. Ohio State is one of only 41 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers and one of only seven centers funded by the NCI to conduct both phase I and phase II clinical trials. The NCI recently rated Ohio State's cancer program as "exceptional," the highest rating given by NCI survey teams. As the cancer program's 210-bed adult patient-care component, The James is a "Top Hospital" as named by the Leapfrog Group and one of the top 20 cancer hospitals in the nation as ranked by U.S.News & World Report.

Rupert Sanders and Kristen Stewart Affair Lasted for Months, Relatives Claim

It was a one-time mistake. That's the line Kristen Stewart is hoping will keep Robert Pattinson from leaving her, although early indications don't bode very well for the future of Robsten.

But is that claim even valid? Did Stewart really just make out with Rupert Sanders for a few fleeting moments? Or was this affair far more drawn out and calculating?

Rupert Sanders likes what he sees at the premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman.

Relatives of the Snow White and the Huntsman director say it's the latter. They cite a photo of Sanders and Stewart in Berlin on May 15 as evidence, with Sanders' brother-in-law  telling People UK of the cheating:

"It was from the last half of filming and all through post-production, clear into last week.”

Whether it lasted for one minute or one month, what would prompt Kristen to do such a thing? Jealously, insiders allege.

Pattinson supposedly grew especially close to Remember Me costar Emilie de Ravin and, even if nothing romantic was ever rumored between the pair, Stewart reportedly took issue with the relationship.

“She found it difficult to cope with Robert being close friends with another woman," a source tells the publication. "As their friendship grew, she ­became more envious to the point that she would be very upset."

Going forward, Pattinson and Stewart will be faced with issues beyond the personal. On a professional front, they are scheduled to begin promotion for Breaking Dawn Part 2 in October.

But "Robert won’t see Kristen and is refusing to do any joint ­personal appearances with her," this source adds. "This is a potential nightmare for all involved."

Great Books for Kids and Teens: It's Monday 7/30! What Are You ...

Well, my week of quiet solitude is over!? On Saturday, we picked up our two teen sons from their week of sailing with their grandparents.? All of them were exhausted when we met up with them!? Though I wasn't happy to have the TV on all day yesterday, it is nice to have the boys back home.? Now it is almost August, and school starts four weeks from today - the summer is flying by!

We all enjoyed some good books last week:

• I am still reading Sharp North by Patrick Cave, a teen/YA dystopian novel and one of my Big Book Summer Challenge choices.? It's interesting and engaging so far, a unique story set in the UK years after disastrous flooding has changed the world.? My son, Jamie, loved it and recommended it to me.
• I am still listening to Okay for Now by Gary D. Schmidt, a middle-grade audio book that won the Odyssey Award for Audio Book Excellence...with good reason!? It is wonderful, and I am enjoying it very much.
• I also read Book 5: Prince of the Elves in the popular Amulet graphic novel series.? The drawings were good, but I had no idea what was happening throughout the entire book - obviously the result of starting with Book 5!? From what I've heard, it's been a bestseller, so we will have to try starting with Book 1 to see for ourselves.
• My husband, Ken, is still reading George R.R. Martin's A Clash of Kings, Book 2 in this popular series of huge books!
• While on the boat last week, Jamie, 17, read The Rogue Crew by Brian Jacques, part of the Redwall series which was Jamie's favorite when he was younger.? He's not sure how he missed this one, but he thoroughly enjoyed this bit of comfort reading!
• When he returned from the boat, I convinced Jamie to try Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.? He read for hours yesterday and is LOVING it (as I knew he would!).? It's just such a fun, unique novel, filled with 80's pop culture references that I knew Jamie would enjoy.
• Craig, 14, took a break from reading while on his trip, but yesterday he reluctantly started his second required book for the summer, In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez.? He has been dreading this one!? To him, it looks like a "girly" novel.? According to the Amazon description, the story goes "...from hair ribbons and secret crushes to gunrunning and prison torture," so hopefully, he can tolerate the hair ribbons and crushes parts and enjoy the action and suspense!

Even though the kids were gone last week, I still had a very busy week with not nearly as much time for writing as I'd hoped, so I posted just one new review: Liesl and Po, a wonderful middle-grade audio book.? I also posted a link to a hilarious blog post, where a writer mom asked her 6-year old daughter to explain what various classic novels were about, from looking at their covers - lots of fun!

What are you and your family reading this week?

(What Are You Reading Monday is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey, with a kids/teen version hosted by Teach Mentor Texts.)

Advantages of Prefabricated Buildings | International Business Market

In present times, the demand for temporary building structures as well as the high costs related to conventional buildings has led to a shift to prefabricated buildings. The main advantage of pre-engineered structures is that they are affordable compared to traditional buildings and can further be designed according to one?s needs. As a result, these structures are becoming commonly used for commercial building purposes. These building structures can be used for purposes of small or large storage or for increased production facilities.

?

In fact, pre-engineered buildings are designed and constructed at the factory and come with pre-built accessories as well as fittings. These parts of the building structures are the ones that are transported to the construction site where they can be pre-cut, pre-drilled, pre-welded, and bolted together in just a short time. Moreover, these structures can be used on a temporary or permanent basis.

?

Regardless of your needs, you can be assured of finding pre-engineered structures for myriad applications including storage buildings, warehouses, industrial sheds, commercial buildings, and institutional buildings. Business owners who want to build these types of building structures within a short time can hire the services of a reliable temporary building supplier as they have the experience and expertise when it comes to construction of pre-engineered structures. Moreover, the setting up and maintenance of these pre-engineered buildings is not costly to the industrialists and it is without a doubt a convenient process for those wishing to set up rapid commercial enterprises.

NEBOSH General Certificate: A Safe Workplace Is Good For Business

?

Starting your very own business can a be very daunting and confusing experience. There are so many permits you must secure, not to mention a myriad of rules that you should consider. Aside from all that, you need to ensure that your workers are trained well and have the most ideal qualifications for the position.

Occupational dangers pose one of the biggest health risks to workers. Therefore, one of the leading concerns of business owners and young businessmen are guaranteeing safety in the office. Hiring administrators and supervisors who have received certification on health and safety training is a sure way to ensure that your company will be carefully handled. On the other hand, you may also take advantage of training courses for your existing staff members. There are several certifications that your workers can have, and the NEBOSH General Certificate is one of them.

NEBOSH, or National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health, is a private research board located in the United Kingdom that grants vocational certificates in wellness, security, environment, and danger control. We have three special categories of NEBOSH qualification, including honors, certificates, and degrees.

Receiving an award implies that the person has some critical apprehension of the subject discussed. This particular honor can also be used to showcase the person to higher level NEBOSH certification. Certificate degree qualifications, however, are awarded to individuals with more widespread training, thus providing them with diverse understanding of the subject discussed. This could also be employed as an introduction to higher-level classes. The diploma is the highest degree of qualification and is given to individuals with advanced understanding of the subject covered.

The best NEBOSH certification for new managers and supervisors is the NEBOSH National General Certificate. The education course to get this certification consists of all the essential topics that your staff should understand for safe and secure control of the office. This includes the major legal requirements for health and safety, not to mention proper identification and standard control protocols for work hazards. In addition to the topics explained, program delegates are usually instructed and assessed on the useful job application of risk management concepts. There is certainly no required level of ability before enrolment in this course; however, participants must write a short report right after training.

The certification is also even further divided into 3 units: Management of Health and Security, Preventing Workplace Hazards, and Health and Safety Practical Application. Course delegates follow evaluation for every unit individually.

With all the current safety as well as health-related expertise that proper training can provide, hiring managers with a NEBOSH General Certificate can be a good decision for a business. This guarantees that your employees are under efficient management, creating a safe environment in which everyone can focus on their job.

There are various certifications that your staff can get, and the NEBOSH General Certificate is one.

Kindred Friendships | Mesu Andrews

I recently spoke at a women?s conference at a church in Albuquerque. My dear friend Meg gave the women?s director my name because they have been close friends for over twenty years.

Women?s friendships are some of the most wonderful and awful experiences in our lifetime! The two women in the picture with me fall into the wonderful category. They made me ponder those REALLY precious relationships I call: kindred friendships.?

What Is ?Kindred Friendship??

I used to be an ?off the charts? extrovert. I needed people like I needed air to breathe, and I needed close friends to feel alive and secure. My enduring kindred friendships didn?t occur until after we moved to seminary?away from everyone I knew and held dear. Isolated and alone, I was forced to make Jesus my Best Friend. Only then could I understand the true role of an earthly kindred friend.

Kindred Friendships Are Formed Quick and Deep?

1 Samuel 18:1-4 ? ?After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself?And Jonathan made a covenant with David?Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, and even his sword, his bow and his belt.?

Of the kindred relationships in my life, NONE have required arduous and lengthy effort to establish. Each intimate friendship quickly fills a place in my heart that seems to have been waiting for that friend to fill it.

Kindred Friends Overcome Conflict with Honesty and Compassion?

1 Samuel 20:1-2 ? ?Then David fled from Naioth at Ramah and went to Jonathan and asked, ?What have I done? What is my crime? How have I wronged your father, that he is trying to take my life?? ?Never!? Jonathan replied. ?You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn?t do anything, great or small, without confiding in me. Why would he hide this from me? It?s not so!??

Kindred relationships aren?t free from disagreements. Any two humans will at some point disagree. The common thread in conflict with my heart-friendships is the respect we show for each other?even if we can?t reach an agreement. I trust my friend and believe that her relationship with Jesus is genuine?genuine enough to hear from Him directly without asserting MY will and timing.

Kindred Friendships Are Enduring?

1 Samuel 20:42 ? ?Jonathan said to David, ?Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the LORD, saying, ?The LORD is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.???Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.?

My kindred friends are few?but forever. No matter how many miles separate us, no matter how many months pass between emails or phone calls?we remain deeply committed to each other in prayer and emotional support. And we will spend eternity together.

How Do You Find A Kindred Friend?

1 Samuel 23:16 ? ?And Saul?s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God.?

My kindred friendships have been born in the throes of tragedy or forged in the fires of adversity. They are women who have seen me at my weakest, ugliest, and most vulnerable?and strengthened me through godly wisdom and compassion. I believe these friendships are a gift from my Heavenly Father. They can?t be conjured or ?worked up.? In fact, they often come as a surprise?with a woman whose personality might be completely opposite of mine. But the friendship?happens?or it doesn?t?according to God?s knowledge of our needs.

Application:

• If you have kindred friends in your life, contact them and tell them how much you appreciate them and why.
• If you desire this kind of kindred friendship, but have yet to experience it, ask the Lord to provide that person in your life. But remember?kindred friendships are a serious responsibility and a deep commitment.

1 Samuel 20:4 ? ?Jonathan said to David, ?Whatever you want me to do, I?ll do for you.??

Today?s Question:

• What are other ways a ?kindred friendship? is different than our ?normal? friendships?

The Perks of Social Media for Small Businesses

Making the Most Out of Your Roof Deck with Mansard Roofing

A city with fairly palpable international influence, Lafayette sits with class in the center of California right next to San Francisco Bay. In addition to residents with popular names, the French influence is really apparent in many places in this area. Many homes here likewise have French architectural influences, like mansard roofs.

It's simple to detect mansard roofing from miles away because of their distinct structure, unlikely the ordinary roofs on the majority of suburban homes. They get their name from Francois Mansart, a 17th-century French architect who designed palaces for the nobility. Mansard roofing systems were all the rage in the 1850s in Paris, and a few structures in the city still hold to this conventional design. You can observe mansard roofs on huge chateaus and mansions; but just what makes this roof design so popular?

Unlike the majority of roofing styles, mansard roofs help maximize attic space and make purposeful rooms out of it. The rafter is arranged in a pentagonal shape similar to the base plate of a baseball field, with the parallel ends are a little slanted. A number of support structures like ceiling and floor joists, sprockets, ashlarings, and curbs aid the mansard shape.

You can tell that you're looking at a mansard roof if you can hardly notice the upper slope. The high sloped edges permit your home windows to be installed along the sides and provide sufficient air flow to rooms inside the mansard structure. While the mansard roof structure shares a few resemblances with another roof style, the gable, it's imperative that you are aware that they are quite different.

In the U.S., mansard roofing can be found usually on mansions and hotels. They are still a fad in Lafayette, especially with condominium proprietors wanting to increase space without adding one more floor. In fact, as per Daniel Bromley, author of Sufficient Reason, building owners choose the form of mansard roofing Lafayette has at this time to be exempted from property taxes. So even though a building has 7 stories, it only seems to have six when watched from outside.

Such was the case throughout the 1800s and early 1900s, in which mansard roofs grew in popularity. Many consider this Lafayette roof construction method a creative trick, while others would rather refer to it as "innovative." Still, if you're living the good life in luxurious Lafayette, mansard roofs may help you save a great deal.

Mansard roofs just appear imposing and are purposeful as well. Go to MansardRoof.org and find out more about this roof design. Otherwise, you can request a Lafayette roofing contractor to determine if this example of Baroque architecture is parfait for your little chateau.

Gov. Cuomo Urges Storm Preparation For ... - Yeshiva World News

Governor Andrew Cuomo today urged New Yorkers to be prepared as severe thunderstorms storms pass through the state tomorrow. The storms are forecasted to bring heavy rain, high winds, and possible tornadoes, and may cause widespread power outages.

The National Weather Service today briefed state officials on the approaching storms and declared a Moderate Risk of Severe Weather for New York State. The prediction includes the possibility of high winds and possible tornadoes. At the Governor?s direction, the State Emergency Operations Center will be activated tomorrow at 1:00 PM. As weather conditions can change rapidly, the Governor today urged New Yorkers to pay close attention to local radio and television reports to stay up to date with the storms? progress.

?I urge all New Yorkers to take caution and pay attention to local radio and television reports for the latest information on the progress of these summer storms,? Governor Cuomo said. ?Proper precautions undertaken now can help ensure that the strong winds and heavy rain cause as little damage as possible and that families and individuals are kept safe from harm.?

New York State Office of Emergency Management Director Steven Kuhr said, ?Families and individuals should have an emergency kit and an emergency plan in place. Your emergency kit should include items such as non-perishable food, water, a portable radio, flashlights and extra batteries. Pay attention to Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages that carry local information and emergency orders, such as evacuation or travel restrictions. If emergency orders are issued, do not hesitate ? take immediate action.?

The Governor offered the following tips as the storm approaches:

Before the storm hits:

• Tie down or bring inside lawn furniture, trash cans, tools and hanging plants that could be projectiles during the storm.
• If you have a basement, check sump pumps to ensure they are operating and be prepared to use a backup system.
• Have a standby generator or alternative source of power available.
• Check on neighbors, especially the elderly and disabled.

As the storm approaches:

• Stay inside, away from windows and glass doors.
• Charge your cellphones and important electronic devices
• Stay off roads. If you are traveling, find safe shelter immediately.

If you must travel:

• Do not attempt to drive over flooded roads ? turn around and go another way. Water moving at two miles per hour can sweep cars off a road or bridge.
• Watch for areas where rivers or streams may suddenly rise and flood, such as highway dips, bridges, and low areas.
• If you are in your car and water begins to rise rapidly around you, abandon the vehicle immediately.

If you are at home or at work:

• Stay at home unless you have been ordered to leave.
• Turn refrigerator to maximum cold and open only when necessary.
• Turn off utilities if told to do so by authorities.
• Turn off propane tanks.
• Unplug major appliances.
• Fill large containers with water.

If winds become strong:

• Stay away from windows and doors even if they are covered.
• Close all interior doors.
• Secure and brace external doors.
• If you are in a two or multiple-story house, go to an interior lower-floor room.
• Remain indoors during a severe thunder storm. If warned of a tornado, go to a basement or other low area in your home or business or in a room with no windows.

If you lose electrical service:

• Call your utility first to determine area repair schedules. Turn off or unplug lights and appliances to prevent a circuit overload when service is restored. Leave one light on to indicate power has been restored.
• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to help reduce food spoilage.
• If you have space in your refrigerator or freezer, fill plastic containers with water, leaving an inch of space inside each one. This will help keep food cold.

If you need to use a generator:

• Before installing a generator, be sure to properly disconnect from your utility electrical service. If possible, have your generator installed by a qualified electrician.
• Run generators outside, downwind of structures. Never run a generator indoors. Deadly carbon monoxide gas from the generator?s exhaust can spread throughout enclosed spaces.
• Fuel spilled on a hot generator can cause an explosion. If your generator has a detachable fuel tank remove it before refilling. If this is not possible, shut off the generator and let it cool before refilling.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Most small, home-use portable generators produce 350 to 12,000 watts of power. Overloading your generator can damage it and appliances connected to it, and may cause a fire. Follow the manufacturer?s instructions.
• Keep children away from generators at all times.

Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning:

• Do not operate generators indoors; the motor emits deadly carbon monoxide gas.
• Do not use charcoal to cook indoors. It, too, can cause a buildup of carbon monoxide gas.
• Do not use your gas oven to heat your home ? prolonged use of an open oven in a closed house can create carbon monoxide gas.
• Install a carbon monoxide alarm.

LG manages $138 million profit in Q2 despite stalled smartphone efforts

LG Electronics (066570) on Wednesday reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2012. As the company continues to push forward and pin hopes on the booming smartphone market, it still hasn?t found a way to profit from its efforts with Google?s (GOOG) Android platform. LG saw a healthy 46% increase in net profit, which rose to $138 million, but smartphone sales were down more than 28% year-over-year to KRW 2.29 billion. LG saw solid sequential growth in its home entertainment, home appliance and energy solutions divisions, though only the home appliance division managed revenue growth over the second quarter of 2011. Operating profits for LG?s home entertainment business grew substantially to KRW 216 billion and profit in the company?s home appliance division more than doubled to KRW 165 billion.?LG?s full press release follows below.

LG ANNOUNCES SECOND-QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Solid Performance in Home Appliance and Home Entertainment
Helps Offset Difficult Quarter in Mobile Phones

SEOUL, July 25, 2012 ?- LG Electronics (LG) today reported a 46 percent increase in net profits for the second quarter of 2012 versus the same period a year ago. Despite the continuing recessionary conditions, LG?s operating profit in the most recent quarter increased significantly year-over-year. Stronger performance in home entertainment and home appliances compared to the second quarter last year helped offset profit declines in LG?s mobile business.

Due to a combination of more premium products, strategic focus on developing markets and aggressive cost reductions, second-quarter net profit increased 46 percent year-over-year to KRW 159 billion (USD 138.02 million) while operating profit more than doubled to KRW 349 billion (USD 302.95 million) from the same period last year. Revenues, while 5.2 percent higher than in the first quarter, declined from last year?s second quarter by 10.6 percent to KRW 12.86 trillion (USD 11.16 billion) due to declining feature phone sales and weak demand for IT products.

LG Home Entertainment Company posted significantly improved operating profit in the quarter compared to the same period in 2011. Due in large part to an increase in sales of more premium products and improved supply chain management, operating profit more than doubled to 216 billion (USD 187.5 million) year-over-year. Sales declined 5.8 percent from the same period a year ago to KRW 5.48 trillion (USD 4.76 billion) but increased 2.8 percent from the first quarter of 2012. LG?s popular CINEMA 3D TVs will continue to drive sales in the second half as it pushes ahead to become the top global seller in the 3D segment.

LG Mobile Communications Company, after a positive first quarter, struggled somewhat in the most recent quarter with an operating loss of KRW 57 billion (USD 49.48 million) mainly due to greater marketing expenses related to new model launches in the quarter. Overall revenues declined 28.5 percent year-over-year to KRW 2.32 trillion (USD 2.01 billion) as a result of shrinking feature phone sales but smartphone shipments rose to 44 percent of unit sales, up from 36 percent the previous quarter capitalizing on LG?s strength in LTE phones. The company is planning to introduce new LTE models in the second half in developed 4G regions including North America and parts of Europe and Asia.

LG Home Appliance Company saw its second-quarter 2012 operating profit nearly triple to KRW 165 billion (USD 143.23 million) from the same period last year thanks to a better product mix and improved cost efficiency. Revenues also increased year-over-year to KRW 2.88 trillion (USD 2.50 billion) from growth in developing markets. The company still expects improved results in the second half compared to the previous year despite ongoing weak demand in developed markets.

LG Air Conditioning and Energy Solution Company posted operating profit of KRW 70 billion (USD 60.76 million), a 17 percent increase year-over-year. Revenues increased 21 percent quarter-to-quarter but declined year-over-year to KRW 1.47 trillion (USD 1.28 billion) due to weak residential conditioner sales in Korea and low demand in developed markets. However, profitability improved year-over-year led by higher contribution from system air conditioner sales. The company will focus on improving profitability by introducing more energy-efficient products and by accelerating growth in its commercial air conditioner systems business.

2012 2Q Exchange Rates Explained
LG Electronics unaudited quarterly earnings results are based on IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) for the three-month period ending June 30, 2012. Amounts in Korean Won (KRW) are translated into US Dollars (USD) at the average rate of the three month period in each corresponding quarter: KRW 1,152 per USD (2012 2Q) and KRW 1,084 per USD (2011 2Q).
