Socially responsible super funds

24 February 2008

I am considering a investing in one of the socially responsible/ethical super funds that are now available. I wasn’t aware that such funds were available for superannuation. I had considered ethical funds for investment but never proceeded because I thought that ethical investments didn’t perform so well. Everything I have read recently though has suggested the contrary. In fact, in many cases ethical funds have outperformed the market. This is bound to have a positive effect on companies and pressure them to adopt socially responsible practices. Maybe in time this sort of investing really will improve society and the world.

Investing In A PC Backup Software

23 February 2008

About 2 years ago, all of our computers crashed, one at a time. We did not know if it was because of a virus, a deadly one at that.  When it did, we were all devastated.  We were not religious in backing up our files.  It was a dead end.  I was handling MIS and I was shocked. I didn’t know how to recover all the files that were lost.  After that, the company invested in a PC Backup Software and ordered everybody to have it installed in their respective computers.

What’s the Hype Around Tattoo Removal Creams?

23 February 2008

What’s the whole fuss about the safety about using a tatoo removal cream? Many websites have advocated staying away from such products and to pick other alternative such as laser removal or a tattoo cover-up. The problem seems to be in the fact that the FDA has not yet approved the usage of such products.

It all depends on your judgment, are you willing to use a tattoo removal cream that did not score the FDA’s approval? In such cases, if anything happens, you’ll only have yourself to blame in this case. Not to mention many of those products don’t have ingredients on them, which makes the whole business even fishier. 

Bodhran drum information

23 February 2008

The bodhran is usually played by a seated musician, who holds the drum on its side. And the thing about the bodhran is that essentially all of the percussion work (hitting something with something else) is done with one hand. An advantage of the inside-tunable bodhran is that you can’t seethe hardware, making your bodhran look more traditionally Irish. The bodhran is now used not only in irish music, but in all kinds of genres. A bodhran drum is played by tucking the drum between the left arm and the chest, as the right hand beats the skin with a double-headed stick called a beater, tipper, or cipin.
