Australian Marvel Helps Create Compassion for All Living Creatures

A World War II duty station in Brisbane, Australia for an American naval officer has borne unexpected and surprisingly peaceful fruit more than sixty years later: a book on Australian Aboriginal legends by his youngest daughter, already an award-winning novelist.

KLASSIC KOALAS: ANCIENT ABORIGINAL TALES IN NEW RETELLINGS, to be released by Koala Jo Publishing in San Mateo this spring, offers a new glimpse of the Dreamtime, the Aboriginal Creation period, in eight stories that offer explanations for everything from the Great Flood to how the koala lost its tail. The ancient wisdom of native Australians offers explanations for all the natural phenomena they lived with before the coming of the British to the continent, and these glimpses into eight of these tales display an understanding of the natural world that is lacking in today's hectic pace. Most of the stories focus on the koala, probably Australia's most famous marsupial and the embodiment of gentle good nature.... (Continue reading)

Baby Rock Apparel Launches the Ingenious Tinke Tube ™

Baby Rock Apparel, a manufacturer of ultra hip baby clothes with an edge, launches a new device intended to make it easier for parents to take their young boys to restrooms in public facilities.

The Tinkle Tube ™ is a simple device that makes it very easy to take young boys to public restrooms. The key benefits are that parents don’t have to take a child’s shoes, pants/shorts or underwear off and don’t have to use those cumbersome toilet seat covers. Simply stand the child on the toilet seat with your assistance, unzip or pull down their pants and then pull out the Tinkle Tube ™. The Tinkle Tube ™ is an 8” x 1.4” plastic tube, which a child can easily urinate into, while the parent aims it. Since a parent is able to aim the tube (without having to hold his little soldier) mom or dad can keep their hands clean and prevent the child’s clothes from getting wet. Once the child is finished, pop the two end caps back on the tube and stick it back a bag. It can then be cleaned with a little soap and water or an antibacterial agent at home....

Negotiating Your Way Successfully Through the Holidays

The holidays are meant to be a joyful time, getting together with loved ones, sharing traditions and enjoying the wonder of the season. Unfortunately, holidays are also often fraught with disagreements like which family (and home) will host the festivities, who will be invited, what is the price per gift and who will select the menu for dinner.

Join negotiation experts, Peter Stark and Jane Flaherty, authors of The Only Negotiating Guide Youll Ever Need, in a humorous, yet practical look at some typical" holiday negotiations and how you can be assured of emerging as the winner." Take a critical holiday negotiation like The Squeeze Play", the art of squeezing in" a newcomer to the family holiday gathering. Imagine your sister has been dating a new guy for several months. You know she is going to want to invite him to Christmas dinner. However, youre not sure he is a keeper" and will fit in with the rest of the family.

The American Chemistry Council Finds Faults In Baby Care Products Study

The Phthalate Esters Panel of the American Chemistry Council (ACC) has issued the following statement:

In an article that will be published next month in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Sheela Sathyanarayana, MD, MPH - together with six other researchers - outlines the findings of a study that seeks to explore the sources of infant phthalate exposure through the use of baby care products such as lotions, powders, shampoos and creams.

The study's recommendation to limit the "amount of infant care products used and not to apply lotions or powders unless indicated for a medical reason" is an extreme and unnecessary measure that is not supported by existing science and not justified by the data presented in the article....

Starting a Business? What New (and existing) Business Owners Should Know

Starting a business can be overwhelming enough trying to get up and running but when you think about all the tax requirements, your cup may runneth over. Here is what you must know in order to start your own business on the right foot and avoid paying penalties and interest which can cost more than paying an accountant to do things right the first time.

WHAT FORM OF BUSINESS SHOULD YOU SET UP WHEN STARTING YOUR BUSINESS?

There are several different options including a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, S corporation or limited liability company. In general a sole proprietorship works fine if you are very small, not too profitable and arent concerned about legal liability issues. A partnership is like being married to the other partners. If you arent that cozy with them, you may want to set up another type of entity. Corporations are best suited for business owners who want personal legal protection and have profit available beyond what they will need for their personal use. See http://www.dgoodmancpa.com/smallbusinessretirementplan.htm for an example of what you can do with that available profit tax deferred until retirement. S Corporations are best when you are operating at a loss and want business owner legal protection. Limited liability companies will protect the business owner from personal legal liability and, if structured properly, can be a partnership, corporation or owner for federal income tax purposes....

Memo to Santa: You Better Watch Out!

For anyone portraying Santa Claus - especially in a "professional capacity" - you better watch out! Defending Santa.com, a web site dedicated to restoring honor, dignity and respect to the person of Santa Claus, has recently highlighted the poor judgment of a group of professional Santas who visited a brothel museum while appearing "in uniform" as Santa Claus. Outraged parents, hiring managers and other professional Santas have since flooded the site with concerns.

"Santa Claus is a legendary gift-bringer with a sterling reputation for anonymously doing good. Children and adults the world over adore Santa Claus," explains Jeff Westover, President of Merry Network LLC, publisher of Defending Santa.com. "As parents, we too are very concerned that any man dressed as Santa Claus would visit an institution associated with the image of prostitution. To pose with employees dressed in period costumes and to broadcast that image through the media is disappointing and irresponsible."... (Continue reading)
