Who has gained in the recession?

At first I would like to explain what is a recession.
In economics, the term recession generally describes
the reduction of a country's gross domestic product
(GDP) for at least two quarters. In the other word
recession is two consecutive quarters of a negative growth.
Usually in period of recession everybody faces
a lot of problems but there are some sectors which may
gain from the recession.
As we know in the period of recession government is trying
to reduce interest rates to encourage people to spend more
money. So if interest rates are low people who has already
borrowed money (bank loans) may gain from the recession
because they pay less interest rates.
Also businesses that sell inferior goods such as public transports
(buses, taxis), low quality food (deliver pizzas etc.) might gain
as well in the period of economic downturn. If people have less
income demand for inferior good will rise. So this type of business
might gain from the recession.

Islam

I was really disappointed when I saw that video
about Barak Obama and Islam. I don't understand why
all americans think that Islam is an evil. It is not true!
Islam doesn't support terrorism. It is nothing to do with that.
I would like to introduce what islam actually is.
Islam means "submission to the Will of God". In its ethical sense
Islam signifies "striving after the ideal". A Muslim is one who
submits to the Will of God. "Islam" and "Muslim" derive from
the same word as the Arabic for "peace". The traditional Muslim
greeting is "Peace be into you".
Islam offers hope for salvation to the righteous and God-fearing of
all religions. Muslims believe in the Divine Revelations of many
prophets including Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, but do not
blieve that God assumed human form. The Quran, Muslims believe,
is God's Word and Final Revelation to he Prophet Muhammad.
Revealed over a period of twenty-three years, The Quran was
complied and distributed to distant lands within twenty-five
years of The Prophet's death in 632 A.D. This is the only Quran
recognised by Muslims.
Comprising laws, moral precepts, and narratives, The Quran's
timeless text remain an inspiration and guide for more than one fifth
of humanity. Together with The Quran, the eptome of classical Arabic,
Muslims lives are guided by the examples and sayings of the Prophet.
Thousands of sayings have been attributed to The Prophet . Some are
acepted as autentic; some traced to the Prophet's companions; some
are the subject of debate. Some examples:
"The first thing created by God was the Intellect".
"The most exellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self".
"The ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr".
"One learned man is harder on the devil than a thousand ignorant worshippers".
"Riches are not from an abundance of worldly goods, but from a contented mind".
Reflect upon God's creation but not upon His nature or else you will perish".
"He who wishes to enter Paradise at the best door must please his mother and father".
"No man is a true believer unless he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself".
"When the bier of anyone passes by you, whether Jew, Christian, or Muslim, rise to your feet".
"The thing which is lawfull, but disliked by God, is divorce".
"Heaven lies at the feet of mothers".
"Women are the twin-halves of men".
"Actions will be judged according to intentions".
"That which is lawful is clear, and that which is unlawful likewise, but there are certain doubtful things between the two from which it is well to abstain".
"The proof of a Muslim's sincerity is that he pays no attention to that which is not his business".
"That person is nearest to God, who pardons...him who would have injured him".
"...yield obedience to my successor, although he may be an Abyssinian slave".
"The creation is like God's family...the most beloved unto God is the person who does good to God's famly".
"Modesty and chastity are prts of the Faith".
Islamic Law is based upon The Quran, examples and sayings
of The Prophet, consensus among the learned, analogical
deduction, and individual reasoning. Islamic society comes
closer than any other society to the ideal democracy. All persons
are equal before God; goodness is the only criterion of worth.
There is no priesthood in Islam; even a child, with greater
knowledge of The Quran than his elders, may lead them in prayer.
To become a Muslim, one need only profess,
"There is no god but God; Muhammad is the Messenger of God".

How to start your own £100,000 a year internet business

I have read a guide which is called "How to start your
own £100,000 a year internet business".
It is quite interesting stuff. There are a lot of ways
of making money on Internet and there are some
advices how to start up.
At first we should focus on the market and marketing
methods not on the product that we are going to sell.
Making fantastic cash from the web has got virtually
nothing to do with the products you sell.
Then we should find a niche market but it should be
not too small.
Next step. Your product should be easy to order and deliver.
If it is an informarion product that is great! You don't
have to deliver anything, your customer can simply download
it.
Also we should look at this site: http://www.keyworlddiscovery.com/
where we can type any word and see how many people search for
it each month on the internet. It is also recommend targeting people
who want health/wealth/happiness.
Your website shouldn't look like you are a large corporation.
People don't like it.
Your website has one main purpose (and only one): to sell stuff.
So you should be honest and direct with your customers.

So, to be absolutely clear, here’s what to avoid:
• Logos
• Drop-down menus
• Fancy graphics
• Animations
• Sound

So I think it is really useful guide for people who would
like to start up their own business on Internet.

Is Internet Explorer a monopoly?


What is a monopoly?

There are several meanings of the term monopoly:

  • A pure monopolist in an industry is a single seller.

It is quite rare for a firm to have a pure monopoly –

except when the industry is state owned and has a legally

protected monopoly position.

  • A working monopoly: A working monopoly is any

firm with greater than 25% of the industries' total sales.


  • An oligopolistic industry is characterised by the

existence of a few dominant firms, each has market

power and which seeks to protect and improves its

market position over time.

  • In a duopoly, the majority of market sales are

taken by two dominant firms.

(Source tutor2u.net)

Also there are some characteristics of a monopoly

such as barriers to entry (patents, branding etc).

Internet Explorer has 80% of the market and

there are a lot of barriers to entry for Google's

Chrome such as advertising and branding. Internet

Explorer has his own well-known brand and it might

be really hard for Chrome to enter to this market and

to compete successfully.

However Google has also well-known brand but not in

the web browser market and I think Google's brand

might compete with Microsoft.

Mnemonics! =P

How to keep Generation Y motivated?

Nowadays there are a lot of young employees in
companys. Is it good? What are the benefits of it?
How to motivate them?
I have listened to Financial Times podcast about
Generation Y. Who are they? Generation Y is
a young population who were born in 1977 to 1994.
It is really good to employ Generation Y because
there are a lot of benefits. Generation Y is highly
enthusiastic, they can spend sleepless nights
on their work (if they are well motivated),
they have a lot of new ideas. But how to keep them
motivated? Gen Y is looking for learning opportunities
and also for career that young person can develop in.
They would like to be challenged. The company should
provide them goals and give, for example, names of
people who might help them with theirs work and the
employers might be surprised with new ideas.
However there are some disadvantages of motivating
Gen Y. As we can listen in the podcast Generation Y is
absolutely unmanagable. They might take an ideas in
different directions and just take their own decisions.
