It happens all the time - we buy Christmas decors, trinkets, gifts and the like, we use them or give them away and they only usually last for a good year (or even less) and then we do the same routine. Buy, use, buy, use. Over and over. It’s already an endless cycle - which is a pity, really, since Christmas need not be commemorated with expensive things. The simpler, the more meaningful, the better. Now if you want to buy affordably priced Christmas decorations that can actually be passed down from one generation to another, then we have good news for you. Hocusadabra.com carries two beautiful Christmas sets that you and your family will love. These can even make absolutely great gifts! First - the wooden Merry Christmas Decorative Block Set. Designed in Grand Rapids, Michigan Basswood, the Merry Christmas Decorative Block Set items are both handmade and are made from embossed Michigan basswood. These are sustainable decoration for Christmas, too, as you can use the blocks year after year.

The second great Christmas gift idea we would like to share with you is the wooden Nativity Set. Also handmade and carved from maple, oak, birch or beech wood, there are 8 items included in this set.

Two collections made quite the splash during the 2012 New York Bridal fashion week. First was the 2012 David Fielden collection and the other one was the 2012 Rivini collection. The dresses from both collections virtually colored the runway during the New York Bridal Fashion Week 2012 --- much to the delight not only of the potential customers but of the industry buyers and even fellow fashion designers as well. The David Fielden 2012 collection was praised for their “romantic, contemporary designs and high fashion appeal.” Known to be a certified, hands down trend setter when it comes to bridal gown design, David Fielden surprised fashion pundits with wedding gowns that had high neck designs, seventies inspired billowing sleeves, nipped in waists, wide leg jumpsuits and even loads of fabric petals that almost covered the entire gown. The new David Fielden collection served as a welcome breather especially for brides who may have wanted to opt for something different and truly modern --- not just the same old wedding gown that has been sashayed along too many wedding aisles. The designs truly reflect Fielden’s design philosophy, which is to “never be subjected by the limitations of tradition”.
Another bridal gown collection that caught a lot of people’s fancy was the Rivini collection. The designer behind Rivini, Rita Vinieris, chose to be a little playful with the colors of the wedding gowns this time. There were gowns in ecru, ivory and dirty white. Still, the trademark simplicity but masterful design and design execution made the Rivini bridal collection 2012 a delight to watch. There was a fit and flair organza gown in elderberry which would be absolutely perfect for the bride who values romance and her femininity. There was also a show stopping silk organza ball gown style with endless layers of silk organza and pleated tulle that is perfect for the girl who wants to walk down the aisle with drama and flair. 
Truly, these two collections were, are and will continue to be the toast of the wedding industry for months. HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong carries David Fielden and Rivini wedding dresses.

If you own a business, you have to do quite a bit more than simply sit in front of a computer day in and day out. Unfortunately, a lot of your time is probably used up in meetings with employees and clients and doing every other thing you need to do in your personal and professional life. This leaves little time for integral duties like managing your company’s cash flow. Keeping tabs on your accounts receivable and payable activity and monitoring your inventory can be really difficult if you’re dashing around town all day trying to get other things done for the business. Luckily, there’s no need to lug your laptop around or frenetically search for a coffee shop with free Wi-Fi. You can run a lot of your business from your smartphone. Specifically, you can manage your company’s cash flow with inventory management software and apps for your phone.
To properly manage your company’s cash flow, you have to pay very close attention to your company’s accounts receivable. You should try to keep tabs on which of your customers pay in a timely fashion and which ones don’t. Additionally, you should keep track of which customers still owe you money. To monitor your customers’ payment habits, you can make an aging report on Microsoft Excel. You can view and update the report from your smartphone with an app like Documents to Go. Documents to Go and other similar apps give you access to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Access from your phone as well, which can help you out with your other professional duties as well.
Establishing an accounts payable system that works for your company is essential. You have to ensure that you don’t end up having to pay suppliers when you have insufficient funds to do so. Generally, you should wait as long as feasible to make payments to your suppliers. Rather than sending a payment in the mail several days before a deadline, set up an electronic funds transfer option at your bank. You can make electronic funds transfers to your suppliers on the same day a payment is due. Most banks have mobile banking, and you can make electronic funds transfers from your smartphone when you need to pay your suppliers. A significant portion of your company’s cash is frequently tied up in inventory. Try to monitor your inventory as much as possible. You can do so easily with inventory management software. Look for cloud software you can use from your smartphone. Once you have the software up and running, you’ll be able to monitor all your goods in progress, finished products, and raw materials. Additionally, you will always know which products are selling well and which are not. This will help you figure out what to order more of in the future. Since an increasing number of suppliers are doing business on the cloud, you may be able to order some of your materials from your phone as well. Stop rushing back to your office to manage your cash flow. With apps and software, you can run practically your whole business from your phone!
History cannot pinpoint exactly when and how fine dining came to be but research indicates that forks, which are now part of almost every Western meal, were used in the beginning of the 17th century. One can therefore probably deduce that fine dining also started to evolve at the time. Today, fine dining is not only a form or method of dining but an experience. While it is true that in Macau there many restaurants to choose from offering a wide variety cuisine, diners are becoming increasingly discerning, now true fine dinning combines not only delicious food prepared by the best chefs but also an exquisite setting. Enter Belon, Banyan Tree Macau’s signature restaurant which offers nothing short of an amazing culinary experience. Named after Brittany’s famous delicacy and located on the 31st floor of Banyan Tree Macau, Belon does not only offer fine dining at its best but it serves it with breathtaking panoramic views over Cotai. Belon fine dining restaurant has been designed to evoke an aquatic environment, with the luxuriously immersive experience, beginning from the moment of arrival.
Fast gaining reputation as Macau’s best fine dining restaurant, Belon is a Classical European Grill that offers premium seafood. And by premium, we mean premium - Norwegian salmon, Chilean sea bass, Dover sole and, to the excitement of foodies, Maine lobster. While waiting for the main course, diners can enjoy the freshest oysters, caviar, lobster bisque and duck foie gras. The grill master also offers prime USDA, Alberta and Australian Wagyu steaks - a delight for meat lovers across the globe. Customers can also have their share of baby pork ribs, Dutch veal rib and NZ lamb rack and some specialties can even be prepared “table side” for an interesting interactive culinary experience. Meals at Belon are capped with the most luxurious desserts that even the most discerning foodie will enjoy. Belon fine dining restaurant is open for dinner daily (closed every Tuesday) from 6 PM until late. Come and experience true fine dining.Visit Banyan Tree Macau: http://www.banyantree.com/en/macau/Like us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/BanyanTree.MacauFollow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/BanyanTreeMacau

With the advent of the digital era, more and more people now want to maximize the power of technology, the Internet and related resources in order to promote their clients, their businesses, their skills or even themselves! Not a surprise, actually, considering that a lot of people have experienced fame and even fortune just because they posted a blog entry somewhere, posted a really nice photo or come up with a video that has all the makings of a viral hit. Just take the case of this video by Peter Rixham, a self-confessed medieval history specialist who also happens to love cooking and food. In the video, which can be accessed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHZLbLdxuTw, Peter shared his love and passion for medieval history. He talked about exactly why he loved it and what fascinated him about it. He even went around asking people about certain medieval characters and other interesting trivia. As a result, people saw how much of an expert he was and how much he just loved the topic. That helped concretize Peter’s expertise, not to mention fervent passion, over medieval history. He has, in many aspects, turned into a video star!
Peter’s video is a clear indication that not only is it easy and advisable to share your talents, skills and knowledge about a certain issue through the power of the Internet, it is also a great and fun way to interact with others and be a video star in your own right. Everyone can be a video star - all it takes is a cam, an Internet connection, your knowledge and a smile!

With so many advocacy campaigns these days - from long-standing HIV / AIDS awareness campaigns to “No Hate” campaigns to anti-air pollutants campaigns and to more social responsibility awareness campaigns - just how do you attract attention from potential supporters, volunteers or even angel investors? How can you stand out from the crowd? How can you attract attention for your cause amid so many other groups that also want to do the same thing?
In this digital era, there is one efficient tool that campaigners can use and that is social media. Social media has, especially over the recent years, proven to be an important, cost-efficient and highly effective tool that people can use in order to not only share information that’s important to them but to engage people and encourage them to join groups or use their talents for the benefit of others. Take the case of the month of October which also happens to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are literally hundreds - if not thousands - of breast cancer awareness campaigns all over the world. So how do advocates of breast cancer awareness lure more attention to their own campaigns? The answer is, of course, social media. So exactly how can social media help lure attention for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For one, campaigners host webinars whereby people especially women can discuss breast cancer treatments, symptoms and even hook up with support groups. Secondly, campaigners start related hashtags on social networking website Twitter and encourage others who either have breast cancer or know someone who has the disease to chime in and perhaps share their stories. Thirdly, campaigners also start Facebook pages where updates, news and event announcements can be placed. The people who then join that page can easily share (again, the power of social media) the information with others. Fourthly, campaigners can also commission a social media strategy firm like PRDA. These are just 4 simple ways on how people can use social media to attract more attention to their own awareness campaigns but these sure are effective.Like our facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/PRDA.AsiaOr Follow us on Twitter:http://twitter.com/#!/PRDA_asia
