Reading The Hand Lines - The Heart Line

Your hand changes throughout your life. The lines you see in your palm today are not quite the same as they were a year ago and probably very different from five years ago.

Although your hand gives an outline of your life, it's only a tentative outline. You have the final decision on the course your life will take. Whether you want the position or not, you're the captain of your own destiny.

Palmistry, like a doctor's examination, is strictly a diagnostic reading. It can point out the forces that operate within you, and it can point out the logical results of these forces. You can accept them as they are or begin to change them.

As with the Tarot, be very careful in your phrasing of what you see in a person's palm. Some lines may show a particular area in which your subject has very serious problems. This should be presented as "an area of possible weakness and something for which you should be particularly watchful."

On a few occasions you may encounter a particular combination of lines which indicates a premature death. If this is the case, don't blurt out what you see. Rather, emphasize the need for great care to avoid illness, accidents, violence or whatever the rest of the hand may seem to imply as possible causes. Remember, palmistry is only a diagnosis it's never a final pronouncement.

As a palmist, your attitude is of great importance. Never try to "second guess" your subject by adding on-the-spot observations and facts you know from beforehand. Only read the palm. Ideally you should know nothing whatsoever about the person you're reading. Their hands and your intuition should be enough.

THE HEART LINE


The Heart Lines (various ending positions)

The heart line governs our emotional lives and shows how we relate to others. It's the major line nearest the fingers. It runs across the palm, starting under the little finger
and usually ends in the area between the first and second finger.

Physical Heart line

If the Heart Line forms a gentle curve, starting under the little finger and ending between the first and second fingers, it's known as the Physical Heart Line.
People with Physical Heart Lines are generally able to express their feelings well. Although they suffer their share of ups and downs, they pick themselves up quickly and get on with their lives. They're likely to express their feelings in a physical, assertive manner. You could say to someone with this type of heart line:

"As your heart line ends right up under the fingers, it shows that you have an open nature and can express your innermost feelings. You're warm and affectionate. When things go wrong you manage to pick yourself up quickly."

Mental Heart Line

The other type of heart line is the Mental (or Humanitarian) Heart Line. This runs in a straight line right across the palm of the hand and does not curve at the end.

People with Mental Heart Lines find it hard to express their innermost feelings. They'll suffer in silence rather than make a scene. They'll have plenty of romantic feelings which take
precedence over common sense. They're very sensitive and need plenty of room around them. You might say to these people:

"You have a heart line that comes straight across your palm. This is known as a Mental Heart Line, and makes it rather difficult for you to express your innermost feelings.

It will gradually become easier for you, but you have to work at it. You can be sensitive at times and possibly bottle things up a bit. You like people, but you need to have room around you at the same time."

As this line governs the emotions it's common to find one with defects, as all of us have ups and downs at different times in our lives. The most common visible signs of trauma are a series of islands on the heart line.

These islands indicate a period of difficulty. Generally, the problems stem from a relationship. This makes it very easy to
determine if someone had an unhappy marriage followed by a happy one. In this case, the earlier part of the person's life (the part nearest the little finger) will have a multitude of islands, while the rest of the line will be clear.

Ending Positions

The Heart Line's end location is extremely important. Ideally, it should end between the first and second finger. This gives a balance between the ego (represented by the first finger) and the rest of humanity. People with this are realistic about their emotional life and don't have impossible expectations.

If the line ends on or directly under the first finger, the person will be idealistic and easily hurt. Other people will seldom live up to their expectations, leading to frequent
disappointments.

If the heart line ends on, or directly under the second finger, the person is inclined to be selfish and think only of themselves and their own personal gratification. They'll lack emotional involvement.

Often, you will find a heart line that forks in two directions at the end. This person has a complex emotional nature. He or she will see both sides of a situation.

The Girdle of Venus

Every so often you'll find a Girdle of Venus. This line is often made up of a series of disjointed small lines. It runs parallel to the Heart Line and is located between the Heart Line and the fingers. This indicates an extremely sensitive and highly emotional person who may be unstable and neurotic.

12 Tips on Writing Good Subject Lines That Get Your Emails Opened and Read

12 TIPS ON WRITING GOOD SUBJECT LINES THAT WILL

GET YOUR EMAILS OPENED AND READ



The subject line of an email is always the last thing people think about.  It should be the first.

When your email pops up in your recipient's in box, that person has just a few seconds to decide whether or not to read your message.  Their decision is based entirely on the effectiveness of your subject line.  A few hastily chosen words in the subject line will result in sales unnecessarily lost, potential customers missed and brand recognition wasted.

Here are 12 simple tips to greatly enhance the chance your emails will be opened and read.

1.Short is best:  Three to four words is ideal, never use more than 10 words or 50 characters.

2. Avoid Spam AlertsNever put an exclamation point in your subject line.  The exclamation point is very common in spam emails, and the search engines will interpret your email as spam if an exclamation point is in your subject line.  Other words that are interpreted as spam are:  "exclusive," "free," "hurry," "limited time."  Use a spam filter to check out how your subject line rates to minimize inadvertently including spam type words in your subject line

.

 3. WIIFM:  Always keep in mind the needs of your readers…the "What's In It for me?" mentality.  Your subject line must briefly describe the message of your email in a way that answers the reader's question:  "Will this message help me meet my needs, solve a problem, or make my life easier?"

4. Urgency:  Your subject line should contain a sense of urgency.  This will motivate the reader to act now instead of later.  Incorporating a time element into the subject line creates a sense of urgency.  For example:  "Orders received by this Friday receive a 25% discount."

5. Unique:   Make your subject line unique.  This approach presents your message as containing something new and different.  For example, "Discover why Scandinavian vitamins make you feel five years younger, "as opposed to "Scandinavian vitamins enhance your energy."

6. Specific:  Be very specific in a way that will make your readers think "now what does THAT mean?"  You could have fun with this approach.  Here is an example:  "Best time of day to ask for a raise," or "5 things not to put in your baby's diaper bag."

7.  Precise:  Provide precise information.  If you're inviting someone to a meeting, say:  "Invitation:  End-of-Year Conference, New York, Dec. 1" instead of a bland "End of Year Conference."

8. Detail:  Provide details that let the reader know what you're talking about immediately.  If your message requires a reader's response, say so…within the first one to two words.  For example, "Response needed for project approval."

 9. Tease:  A cleverly worded subject line is sure to get a reader's attention and pique their curiosity.  If you're selling eye glasses, for example, your subject line could say "You won't believe your eyes!"

 10. Test:  Test your email on a small segment of your market to evaluate the effectiveness of your subject line prior to sending out a mass email campaign.  This will give you the opportunity to adjust your subject line copy if necessary.  Many companies test the effectiveness of their emails this way:  Three days before they launch an email campaign, they'll send up to five of their best subject lines to a small segment of their mailing list.  Twenty four hours later, review the open rates and conversation rates to determine which subject lines were the most effective  

11.  Name recognition:  People are more inclined to open an email from someone they know and are familiar with.  For example, if a reader subscribed to your Ezine entitled "5 Ways to Train Your Dog," your subject line might include the words "Dog Training Tips."  This will remind the reader that they did sign up for your Ezine and make them more inclined to open it instead of deleting it.

12. From Line: Incorporate name recognition into the "From" line.  Let's use the "5 Ways to Train Your Dog" example above.  Your "From" line may read:  "http:www.5waystotrainyourdog.com."  This frees up your subject line to highlight a specific tip in your email copy.

In addition to the 12 tips listed above, here are five additional ways to write effective subject lines. Bob Bly, one of the most successful copywriters out there today, suggests these five tips to boost the success of your subject line:

1.       Put a number in your subject line.  When readers see a number, it arouses their curiosity and they're more apt to open your email.  For example:  "7 Ways to Do X".

2.      Be mysterious, arouse curiosity, hint at what you're offering in your email but withhold the answer.  The recipient has to open the email to find out exactly what you're talking about.  Mr. Bly gives this example, which generated 392 orders for an eBook he wrote:  "The Easiest Product To Sell Online"

3.      Make a big promise that gets the recipient's attention.  Putting a question mark after the promise can help address the reader's inherent skepticism.  For example:  "Get paid $22,500 to write a letter?"

4.      As a question that the reader wants to answer.  For example:  "Is There a Book inside You?"

5.        Offer to reveal some secrets.  Secrets are powerful word in a headline and lost secrets are even more intriguing.  For example, "3 Lost Secrets of a Winning USP".   Also putting quotes around text in headline or subject line increases readership.

In conclusion, the best way to ensure that your emails will be opened is to provide precise, concise, thought provoking subject lines support by a message that offers a quality product, valuable information and good pricing.

How the Right Broadband Package Can Save You From High Line Rental Costs

BT's line rental increase in April this year has dealt rather a low blow to ADSL broadband users as they are now obliged to pay £15 a year more for their line rental, as well as more for calls.

This in effect means that the cost of line rental has risen to £11.75, unless you pay your bill by Direct Debit for which the charge has remained static at £10.50.

BT has introduced a paperless online billing service in their effort to contribute to the environment. Less carbon footprint and all that! It smacks a bit of cost cutting but this is to your advantage as checking your BT phone bill online prevents that £1.25 a month creeping from your pocket.

However, there is no need for you to use BT's line rental at all as there are other options.

Get a broadband package that includes line rental

There are several broadband providers offering you either totally free line rental or line rental at a lower rate.

Those broadband providers with packages offering free line rental are Tiscali broadband and Plusnet broadband, together with Orange broadband and the Post Office broadband.

The money you will save by switching to a broadband package which includes free line rental is not to be sneezed at, bearing in mind that line rental will soon cost as much as £141 a year.

There are undoubtedly far more pleasurable ways of using that £141. Just think of an air ticket abroad somewhere for the same amount!

Virgin Media is a provider that has no need of line rental at all as it uses its own cable network. This could free up the £141 saving to be used towards purchasing a broadband, phone and TV bundle as an alternative.

There is unfortunately no such thing as a free lunch since all the broadband providers offering free line rental packages stipulate that you also have to take out a home phone call package with them.

An exception here is Virgin Media, though even they demand a monthly fee for a phone package if you are interested in signing up for one of their broadband, tv and phone deals.

Get a broadband package with a lower rate line rental

Packages with cheaper line rental offered by some broadband providers could put an extra £33 a year in your pocket. That's certainly worth a good look.

There is the inevitable catch though, as with these reduced line rental offers you are obliged to also take out a home phone package with the provider. You can't take up the line rental offer with broadband only.

The budget broadband provider TalkTalk offers cheaper line rental than BT, as does the often slated Toucan, whilst slightly less expensive line rentals are also offered by Plusnet and Madasafish.

Line Marker Double Vision

Every athlete on the field loves to play the game but a group of unsung heroes sits in the shadows until the game is over.  Without the dedicated service of these men and women sports like soccer could not be played.  These skilled individuals turn grass fields into athletic fields that we all play on.  It's safe to say that many athletes takes for granted the hours of work that goes into field maintenance but there are hundreds of manufacturers who know the job is important.  New an innovative ideas come and go, some make the job easier and others are simply a waste of money.


Today we're going to talk about a product that will have you seeing double.


A tedious task it may be but without lines on the field, well, it's just a patch of grass.  While the tried and true heavy duty, gas operated line laying machines are still the most popular choice for those field maintenance folks who take care of multiple fields the smaller spray models have become very prevalent.  Here's a few reasons why they are so popular.


Spray paint liners use spray paint that is similar to that you can buy at the hardware store.  The only difference is that the paint is formulated for use on grass without causing damage to the flora or fauna.  The cans also feature special tips that are required for use in the lining machines.  so as you can imagine transporting a case of spray paint cans is much easier than carrying 5 gallons of field paint and then mixing is with water to get the right consistency.  This is the processed required when using large model liners.  Don't get me wrong if you have a lot of fields to line nothing beats the power of a gas operated liner.


Spay paint liners are small and portable and are nearly maintenance free other than a quick clean up after use.  Their operation is simple.  Shake the can of spray paint, insert into machine, pull the handle and push in a straight line.  The only skill to master is walking at the right speed to apply an even, easy to see line on the field.  That speed can be a little slow given the amount of line that needs to be laid for a standard field.


Well let me introduce a product that will put lines down faster than any other conventional spray paint line marker, the double can line marker.


It's a simple idea brought to life.  Instead of spraying one can of paint this model sprays two.  This design allows you to move along a little faster while still ensuring a solid line.  Here's the skinny...


This double can striping machine is a quality line marker for use on grass/dirt fields and is constructed of sturdy steel construction with 4 large easy rolling wheels.  Lightweight housing includes windscreen, fingertip on/off lever, storage for 8 extra cans and simple 2" to 4" line width adjustment.  Non-toxic aerosol spray goes straight downward for complete coverage.  Maintenance free, no messy clean up, won't harm grass.  Unlike other models this model sprays 2 cans of paint at one time on the line.  No more tracking back the same line.  Save time and energy.  You'll wonder how you ever lived without it.


Let's have  a look...



Looks like a great idea to me.  So if you have to line fields in a hurry and need to do it with a portable machine this is most definitely the liner for you.  This liner and a huge selection of liners can be purchase at www.morleyathletic.com.
