			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The profile found in Bluetooth will describe how<br />
the technology is used.  Profiles can be best<br />
described as vertical slices through the protocol<br />
stack.  It will define options in each protocol<br />
that are mandatory for the profile.</p>
<p>The profile will also define the parameter ranges<br />
for each protocol.  The concept of the profile is<br />
used to decrease the risk of interoperability<br />
problems between the different products.  These<br />
profiles won&#8217;t normally define any additions to<br />
the Bluetooth specification, which is why you can<br />
add new profiles where you need them.  The<br />
Bluetooth underlying technology is the same, only<br />
the specific method that it&#8217;s used is defined.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, all profiles of Bluetooth are<br />
based on the GAP (Generic Access Profile).  There<br />
are 9 profiles that fall in the GAP category, and<br />
they are below:<br />
1.  AVRCP &#8211; Audio/Video Remote Control<br />
Profile<br />
2.  ESDP &#8211; Extended Service Discovery Profile<br />
3.  CIP &#8211; Common ISDN Access Profile<br />
4.  PAN &#8211; Public Area Network Profile<br />
5.  HCRP &#8211; Hardcopy Cable Replacement<br />
Profile<br />
6.  GAVDP &#8211; Generic Audio/Visual Distribution<br />
Profile<br />
7.  A2DP &#8211; Advanced Audio Distribution Profile<br />
8.  VDP &#8211; Video Distribution Profile<br />
9.  HID &#8211; Human Interface Device Profile</p>
<p>To put it another way, usage models will describe<br />
Bluetooth device applications and the associated<br />
profiles that are used.  The usage model focuses<br />
mainly on three categories &#8211; voice/data access points,<br />
peripheral interconnects, and PAN (Personal Area<br />
Networking).</p>
<p>The voice and data access points involve connecting<br />
computing devices to communicating devices through<br />
a wireless link. This way, data can be transferred<br />
in a wireless manor, without the need of cables or<br />
other types of connectivity.</p>
<p>PAN  is another very important usage model with<br />
strong appeal to business customers.  Bluetooth<br />
networks are easy to set up in virtually any type<br />
of environment.  An example would be meeting<br />
others at a trade show.</p>
<p>Instead of having contact information beamed via<br />
infrared, business cards can quickly and easily be<br />
transferred via Bluetooth wireless.  The fact is<br />
that many documents can be exchanged this very<br />
same way &#8211; making the uses and possibilities<br />
virtually endless.</p>
<p>The Bluetooth profile is very important to the<br />
specification, as it enables you to do so much<br />
more.  You can use peripherals and devices with<br />
the profiles, and virtually anything else that you<br />
decide.</p>
<p>As Bluetooth expands and gets bigger and better,<br />
you can count on the profiles to expand and get<br />
even more functions.  If you have experience with<br />
Bluetooth profiles, you should know exactly what<br />
they are and what you can do with them.  If not,<br />
all you need is a Bluetooth device &#8211; and a vivid<br />
imagination.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unschooling is the most fluid style of homeschooling. There is no<br />
curriculum and no set boundaries. Many parents feel a bit<br />
apprehensive about such freedom. But, even unschooling has certain<br />
guidelines that make it a great method of homeschooling</p>
<p>Firstly, allow your child to express interests. Let her select the<br />
topic. If she wants to learn about flowers, tell her about the<br />
various flowers, their functions, parts of the flower, rare flowers<br />
etc. But don&#8217;t go overboard. Allow her the freedom to stop when<br />
she has had enough. This process of learning may take a month or a<br />
day. It is up to the child to decide how much she wants to learn.</p>
<p>Expand your child&#8217;s areas of interests using videos, books, magazines,<br />
puzzles and games. Go to a museum or take her to a library.<br />
Simultaneously, broaden your own interests. The more you know, the<br />
more the child gets to learn.</p>
<p>Notice all opportunities for learning. When in the kitchen, point out<br />
the vitamins in fruits and vegetables. What makes tomatoes red, and<br />
why are leafy vegetables good? If you don&#8217;t know the answers, don&#8217;t<br />
worry. Look it up. Lastly, don&#8217;t worry if the going seems slow. This<br />
is just the way kids learn. Give them time and lots of encouragement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>8 Ways To Get Attendees To Your Events</p>
<p>When you plan an event, you want to make sure that everyone is going to attend it. You do not want to do all that work for nothing.  It is important that you have your event planned out well and this will include everything right down to the invitations. You want to have your guests learn about the event in plenty of time so that they can attend it.<br />
1. The first way to get your attendees to your event is to make the invitations look great. You want your invitations to be exciting and bring some expectation to what they can have when they come to your event. You want them to get excited about coming.<br />
2. Another way to get your guests to come is to advertise the event. You want to make sure that you are putting up the appropriate signs and getting the date and time out there for people to see. You want people to feel like they are welcome to come and enjoy the fun and excitement of your special event and this is one way to do just that.<br />
3. You may also want to send email invitations to people about your special event. This is good way to make sure that people hear about your planned event and let them know fast. You can reach a lot of people by email and in a matter of a few minutes. This is a great way to make sure that everyone hears about your party and you will get the word out there fast.<br />
4. Talk up the event. This means that you want to tell people what a great time this event is going to be and what they can expect. You want people to wander about the great party and want to come along for the fun. This is something that will entice their interest and get them wanting to come along. You will find that by talking up the great party, you will have more people show up.<br />
5. Tell your friends to tell their friends about the great event.  Make sure that you are telling everyone to share the word and to let others know what a great time this is going to be.  Tell them to hit upon some of the wonderful things that they will be able to expect at the grand event. This will really get them wanting to show and if they are not invited, they may ask to be.<br />
6. Advertise your event. You can put ad in the newspaper and on the television if the funds are there for you to do so. You can do this and you will be surprised at how many people you will be able to reach with your event. You will see that you are getting the news out there and getting the word across so that you can get more people aware of the fun that you are planning.<br />
7. Put flyers in papers that are seen in your church, local organizations and many other places. You will be able to make up an interesting flyer that will catch the eyes of many onlookers and they will want to come to your event.<br />
8. You may even want to have your special event written in the sky if you want. You can hire a sky writer to do the work for you.  This is a great idea and one that will get your word across.  You may also want to have your great even written on pieces of paper and floated away on with a balloon into the sky. This is a great idea and one this is cheap and very cool at the same time.</p>

		<title>Importance of Skills Emphasis on Job Interviews</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Skill emphasis during the interview is important to show the employer what makes you different from all the other job candidates. In this competitive world, companies search for the most qualified employees by weighing skills of the candidates and determining how they would benefit the company.</p>
<p>Majority of the top companies search for employers who stands out based from their expertise, ability to give new developments, and pleasing personalities that would enhance the organization. </p>
<p>Skills are grouped into three kinds – knowledge-based, transferable, and personal traits.</p>
<p>1) Knowledge-based skills are those learned from experiences. These may include educational attainment, additional training, seminars attended, and other practices that you have studied to enhance your expertise. </p>
<p>Knowledge-based skills include computer and communication skills, marketing or managerial knowledge, product development, and many more. These skills vary depending on the field of industry of each job candidate.</p>
<p>2) Transferable or portable skills are those you bring to a specific job. This is the reason why interviewers ask, “What could you offer the company?” Transferable skills are important because companies strive to look for quality employees that would improve the development of the workforce.</p>
<p>Portable skills include problem solving, team leader potential, organized, writing and communication skills, customer service oriented, time and project management, and good with numbers and budget. This kind of skills varies depending on the experience and versatility of each job candidate. </p>
<p>3) Personal traits determine who you are. In a job interview, one of the most common things an employer says is “Tell me something about yourself.” Your response is vital because it would set the tone for the rest of the interview. </p>
<p>Personal traits include good judgment, well organized, analytical, goal oriented, flexible, creative and many more. Try to sell yourself in as modest as possible within a limited time.</p>
<p>* Self-assessment. In order to provide an impressive presentation, examine your resume and list all the skills you have used for each past job experience. Make a comprehensive list of your skills and strengths including personal traits, knowledge-based and transferable skills. This would be the basis for your personal commercial.</p>
<p>* Once you have completed your script, you are now ready to face the interviewer. Remember that employers are interested in your accomplishments. Use words that are concise, direct and clear. </p>
<p>Although many companies require a unique set of skills, you should still highlight your technical skills in the interview. These skills, which top companies usually seek, include leadership, communication, confidence, flexibility, problem solving and energy. </p>
<p>Emphasizing all of your strengths and skills on job interviews would increase your chances of landing the desired job.</p>
