			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">LED (light-emitting diode) is a electric light source which was invented by a Russian named Oleg Vladimirovich Losev, in the 1920.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Investment: </strong>Investment can be defined in finance as the purchase of item of value or financial product with an anticipation of good future returns. Generally investment means use of money in the expectation of making more money.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Investment in finance:</strong><br />
In finance, investment is the proper use of funds by purchasing monetary or paper assets or securities in the capital market or money market, or in liquid real assets like gold or collectibles. Assessing if a potential investment is worth it&#8217;s price is called as valuation. Shares, other equity investments, bonds these are types of financial investment. People expect these financial assets to provide positive cash flows or income and give the capital gains or losses to investor by increasing or decreasing in the value.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is no necessary future positive expected cash flows by trading in derivatives and contingent claims, so these are not considered as assets or securities or investments. However their cash flows are those of particular securities, they are often treated as investments. Some times investments are built indirectly by intermediaries like mutual-funds, banks, pension funds,insurance companies, investment clubs, collective investment schemes. Money used to put in collective investment schemes or to  buy shares or used to purchase any asset within personal finance where there is an aspect of capital risk is considered an investment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Saving in personal finance refers to money kept aside, generally on a regular basis. When an investment is sold, investment risk may cause a capital loss at variance savings where the more limited risk is cash devaluing because of  inflation. The term investments and saving are used correspondingly, which confuses this differentiation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Homeowners should keep the very essential tools in their home tool kits in order to take care of small home repair jobs that may occur in and around the house. A small repair job may avoid big problem in future. Just around hundred dollars is required to buy a group of hand tools which will be very helpful in home repair or improvement projects. Tools for cutting, layout, fastening, and finishing can also be purchased.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Few essential tools are:</strong></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong> Hammer:</strong> It is essential and basic for all tools</li>
<li><strong> Adjustable wrench:</strong> 8-inch adjustable wrench is used for  turning small- to medium-sized nuts and bolts.</li>
<li><strong> Screwdrivers:</strong> A complete screwdriver set consisting screw drivers with different sizes, with both flat and Phillips-style blades.</li>
<li><strong> Tape measure:</strong> Flexible 20-foot tape measure with a thumb lock for the blade can be handled easily and is long enough for many jobs.</li>
<li><strong> Utility knife:</strong> The razor-sharp blade of a utility knife can cut anything ranging from drywall to cardboard and can be easily replaced when it gets dull.</li>
<li><strong> Arc-joint pliers:</strong> The jaws of pliers come with wide adjustment, enabling them to grip everything from small nails or wires to large pipes.</li>
<li><strong> Electronic stud finder:</strong> For most of the home projects, it is important to know the location of framing members that are present behind walls and ceilings particularly when hanging things. When a finder is slided across the surface and flashing lights will give the locations of studs or ceiling joists.</li>
<li><strong> Paintbrush:</strong> Paintbrushes of different sizes and types are available. Synthetic bristles can be used for all types of paints whereas natural bristles works well only with oil and alkyd paints. Paintbrush with long bristles which spray evenly at the ends should be selected.</li>
<li><strong> Putty knife:</strong> A 1-inch blade is used for filling cracks and small holes and a larger 3-inch-wide blade is used for filling big holes. Blades must be straight and flexible.</li>
<li><strong> Torpedo level:</strong> A 9-inch bubble level works well for leveling appliances, shelves, and pictures. A magnetic edge strip is a good and handy feature.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A rain garden is a flat, constructed cavity which is covered with deep-rooted native plants &amp; grasses. It is present in landscape to receive overflow of water from hard surfaces like a roof, a sidewalk and a driveway. Rain gardens helps to sink the overflow of water from these hard surfaces and to hold the water for a short duration of time and enables it to naturally percolate into the ground.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A rain garden can be considered as a personal water quality system as it filters the overflow of water from roof and lawn and revitalizes the groundwater. It also conserves municipal water resources by decreasing the requirement for irrigation.<br />
Rain gardens are a beautiful and colorful method for homeowners, businesses and municipalities to help in curing storm water problems. There is an advancing progression by municipalities and homeowners to include natural processes to help in relieving flooding and pollution.<br />
Benefits of rain gardens are:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li> They help in rising the amount of water which percolates into the ground, which refreshes local and regional aquifers.</li>
<li> They help in protecting communities from occurrence of flooding and drainage problems.</li>
<li> They help in protecting streams and lakes from pollutants like lawn fertilizers and pesticides, oil and other fluids which leak from cars that are transported by urban stormwater and also prevents many harmful substances which wash off roofs and paved areas from entering rivers or lakes.</li>
<li> They will improve the beauty of yards and neighborhoods.</li>
<li> They will provide relevant habitat for birds, butterflies and several beneficial insects.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In the present world, new materials and new technologies have brought out many changes in home designing process. Many major replacements for new style are introduced. There are following latest home designs which were developed:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Earth – friendly home design </strong><br />
This design trend is mainly based eco-friendly measures. Architects and engineers are implementing new and simple bio-degradable technique in designing phase.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Adaptive Reuse in Home Design</strong><br />
New trend-setting homes for future are constructed on the shell of an outdated factory, an empty warehouse and an abandoned church. This design helps to protect environment and to preserve historic architecture.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Healthy Home Design </strong><br />
In new trend, home designers design a healthy and friendly home environment. They first collect the information of that material which affects the house owner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Storm-Resistant Home Design</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">There is bond between a parent and child which is generally developed by the time the child is approximately seven or eight months old. Before this age, an infant cheerfully or voluntarily goes into arms other than that of his or her parents.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">An infant can recognize their parents and differentiate them from others at the age of seventh month.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the infant is separated from parents at this point, the child will become upset and distressed. So, in order to reduce the consequences of separation, there are a few tips to be followed:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>First provide exposure of little or temporary separation to baby for few hours before giving a longer separation (to baby sitter).</li>
<li>Adapt the child pleasantly by taking him or her to the baby sitter&#8217;s home for visits in order to get baby adjusted to the babysitter and the new environment (if that is the case).</li>
<li>Make the child carry along with him or her something, which is habitual, like favorite toy, and also provide several toys and play facilities (under good supervision) to avoid boredom, which can cause distress.</li>
<li>For day and night care, keep frequent contact with child at the time of separation to maintain a close relationship with child.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Home gardening requires proper planning. Flowers, shrubs, and grass give natural beauty to your garden. Many beautiful artificial designing items are also available in the market. The three basic requirements for home garden are light, soil, and water.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ideas for designing home garden:</strong></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Berms: </strong>Berms means the uplifted earthen areas in the garden. Berms give mysterious look to the garden. You can raise that hill by growing grass or some plants. Berms height should be 18 to 24 inches. These are also useful in controlling the soil erosion.</li>
<li><strong>Patios: </strong>Patios are constructed with stones. Plants can be grown within the stones. <strong> </strong></li>
<li><strong>Building garden pathways with stairs: </strong>You can make garden pathways with limestone, wood chips, bricks, and granite. It is better to construct the stairs adjacent to the lane, which are safe and convenient.<strong> </strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The design elements for home garden design:</strong></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>No mow: </strong>Cut down the lawn using a lawnmower by avoiding sharp corners.</li>
<li><strong>Cover it: </strong>It is better to use fibrous membrane material to cover beds.</li>
<li><strong>Learn your plants:</strong> Research the plants before buying for home garden. Keep the sun needed plants in lighting area. It is better to choose plants, which are easier to take care.</li>
<li><strong>Get dirty: </strong>One of the basic requirements for home gardening is soil. Learn about the soil according to the plant desire.  Fertilize the soil in a proper concentration of plants requirement.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Personal loan means the barrower does not raise any security as guarantee to repayment of the loan. That’s why it is called as unsecured loan. Personal loan tend to carry high interest rates. Personal loan is the only option for those who have little credit. Personal loans are usually made for general expenses. The following are different types of personal loans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1. Secured loan: </strong>Secured loan is a loan that offers some guarantee, that is may be home, property, car, and building. Since security is offered, the lenders need not to worry about the repayment of the loan. The advantage of secured loan is lower interest rates. And the disadvantage is that you may loose your property.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. Unsecured loan: </strong>Unsecured loan does not require the guarantee or security. You need not be a property holder. It will be processed easily than secured loan. Unsecured loan requires lender’s application and good credit report. The disadvantage of this loan is you have to pay more amount of interest rate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. Line credit: </strong>Line credit may or may not be secured. This type of personal loan which is issued is based on credit card history.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Beneficial insects are insects, which can be attracted to garden, which kill harmful insects or their larvae. There are many different species for different problems.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Brachonids, Chalcids and      Ichneumon Wasps </strong><br />
These small beneficial insects kill leaf-eating caterpillars. They can be      attracted to garden by planting carrots, celery, parsley, caraway, and      Queen Anne&#8217;s lace, all members of the Umbelliferae family.</li>
<li><strong>Ladybugs</strong><br />
These common insects swallows aphids, mites, whiteflies, and scale. They      can be attracted to garden by planting members of the daisy family      (Compositae), tansy, or yarrow.</li>
<li><strong>Lacewings </strong><br />
Lacewings are intense consumers of aphids, and their larvae eat aphids and      other varieties of insect pests. They are generally attracted by      &#8220;composite&#8221; flowers, like yarrow, goldenrod, black-eyed susan&#8217;s      and asters.</li>
<li><strong>Hover-flies</strong><br />
Hover-flies are intense consumers of aphids and the larva of hover-flies      eats aphids and other insect pests. Like the Lacewings, they are attracted      to &#8220;composite&#8221; flowers, such as yarrow, goldenrod, black-eyed      susan&#8217;s and asters. Seeds for these flowers are available online, or at      most garden centers.</li>
<li><strong>Praying Mantis </strong><br />
These large insects have hunger for many garden pests. Praying mantis eggs      are deployed in the garden where they hatch and rapidly grow to adult      size.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Nematodes</strong><br />
Nematodes are also effective against beetles, cutworms, and root weevil larvae. Nematodes do not cause harm to humans and pets. Nematode eggs are microscopic (very small) and is available in the form of a small sponge which has million of eggs. These are combined with water and applied to the soil, where they hatch and work.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8216;Mini &#8211; Insectary&#8217; garden can also be established nearby to a small garden plot of flowering plants designed to attract and withhold beneficial insects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Mathews was serving as a financial advisor in a big financial company that recently went bankrupt. He struggled a little for first few days; but secured a new source of income very soon. Thanks to his friend who encouraged him learn a foreign language during his college days.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lucy is a plain homemaker. She used her spare time to learn some foreign language and has secured some good level of proficiency in it. One day suddenly his husband was laid off from his job. But their family didn’t have to struggle. Thanks to the foreign language Lucy learnt during her spare time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In both the cases, their foreign language adeptness helped them. It was possible by working as language translators from their home. Language translation is one of those big businesses running harmless in spite of the recession.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you were laid-off and still sitting at home idle, why not try learning a new language?</p>
