			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A lot of paper work has to be done in the financial service organizations. In order to avoid the manual work i.e. the paper work, automation is being used. Making use of the automating techniques helps us to increase the financial services.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Suppose, for serving the customers in banks, for the processes like creating a new account, for the application of the loan, all these need  paper work. These applications are inefficient and are the costly methods. So, in order to meet the needs of the customers, different technological advancements are being done using the automation techniques.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The main benefits are:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> <strong>Labor Costs:</strong> Because of the decrement in the manual labor, cost of the labor is also increased. There is a wide variation in the number of documented files using the automated techniques and the manual approach.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong> Time of Process is being decreased: </strong>Speed of the process is being increased using the automation process, which means the time taken is reduced. Even, there will be a faster access to the client assets, customer service will be improved.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong> Processing errors are reduced: </strong>Besides reducing costs and improving the customer satisfaction, error rates are being reduced.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong> Security:</strong> Security of the documents is also increased using the automation techniques. Whatever the documents which are produced are the e-documents and they are produced with a great care.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, these are some of the benefits of the automation. By reducing the paperwork and by improving the automated technologies, one can improve the speed and accuracy of the business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">To make e-mailing faster and more efficient, Microsoft has designed this software product called Microsoft exchange server. Most of the companies are using this server for e-mailing purpose.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Apart from providing the security, the company even allows the remote access of the e-mail i.e. the e-mails can be accessed from any part of the world. Employees can respond  to the company&#8217;s needs and can access all the documents from anywhere. The main reason behind making the e-mail and the contact management simple is the email platform that is Microsoft Office Outlook. It is used by the Microsoft Exchange Server for making trouble free e-mail messaging.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Fleet Management is the management of the fleet of vehicles of a company. It is nothing but managing a large group of vehicles of a company. It includes managing the transport vehicles like cars, vans and even trucks and in some cases even the ships. In some cases fleet management is also called the vehicle management. It includes the functions like vehicle financing, vehicle maintaining, vehicle tracking and diagnosis, driver management, fuel management, health and safety of the driver as well as the passengers. Fleet management is generally used by the companies whose business is based on transportation. This function does the tasks like minimizing the risks associated with vehicle finance, improving the efficiency, reducing the transportation costs. These functions can be done by using either the house-fleet management department or outsourced fleet management provider.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">The fleet list gives the data at a glance. It also finds the way of reducing fuel costs. It also alerts if there is any accident or damage to the vehicle. The main aim of fleet management is to control the overall cost of operating and maintaining the fleet of vehicles and equipment in manner that extends their useful life. It is often used for exchanging the data between vehicle and base station. Proper data can be maintained about engine performance maintenance alerts, driver’s oversight regarding excessive speed or engine reviews, driver’s performance regarding the number of hours he worked, routes in which he traveled and even for comparing the fare costs with the number of passengers and with the distance travelled. Even the vehicle can be tracked using this fleet management. You can find out where is the vehicle and in which route it is traveling. So, fleet management is very useful for the company to manage its fleet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Treasury Inflation Protected Securities(TIPS) are a type of bonds and notes issued by the U.S Treasury. TIPS are unique due to their interest and principle payments are arranged to the rate of inflation as measured by Consumer Price Index. So TIPS offer explicit inflation protection not provided by the other nominal bonds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are some characteristics of TIPS:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li> Maturities available with 5,10, 20 years.</li>
<li> Bond&#8217;s principals increases or decreases with the rate of the consumer price Index-based.</li>
<li> Payments of interest are a fixed percentage applied to an decreasing or increasing principal.</li>
<li> Original principal or the adjusted principal whichever is greater,  is paid to the investor upon maturity</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Examples of Treasury Inflation Protected Security:</strong></em><br />
TIPS are very different from conventional bond. Coupon payments are made a conventional fixed rate coupon bond on the par amount. They return a par amount at maturity date of the bond. Not so with TIPS.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Pranayama is a breathing exercise, which actually means a &#8220;pause in the movement of breath&#8221;. This exercise is based on controlled breathing practices where as breathing exercises in Western countries are focused on deep breathing and maximizing oxygen in-take. The ancient yogis (trained yoga expert) for purification developed it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pranayama exercises increase the amount of air we take in, so it helps to live more effectively. In this exercise, always sit with a straight spine and a relaxed body and then try to focus on any thought. In process, all breath is inhaled in slow and steady process.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To get the logic for breathing exercises, it is better to understand the state of breathing. In yoga, right nostril is termed as Sun Channel, whereas left nostril known as Moon. Left nostril is good for mental activity and creative work. Entire breathing process is divided into inhaling, exhaling, holding air in the lungs, and maintaining a gap between exhaling and inhaling for another breath.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These exercises will better result in early morning and at sunset. Try to avoid open space, which contains dust or strong breeze. Be sure about any severe physical or mental strain when practicing these exercises. Pranayama has following types of asanas:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Kapalabhati</strong><br />
It is a kind of breathing technique used mainly for cleansing. This helps to remove mucus from the air passages, relieves tension and clears blockages in the chest. It can be achieved deliberately by breathing faster, and at the same time use only abdominal breathing, not chest breathing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Anuloma Ujjayi</strong><br />
This is done by breathing through the throat, and then completely closes one nostril and breathes out through the other nostril. This is a total breath exercise and prevent practitioner from any lungs diseases. Pranayama is also helps to control, cultivate, and modify the Prana in the body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Yoga is an old health practice for stronger-flexible body, toning of muscles, reducing stress, and physical well-being. Different yoga asanas are effective for different parts of a body. Following are the major types of asanas in yoga:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Vinyasa</strong><br />
It means a breath-synchronized movement in which, performance of a series of poses called sun-salutation matched to the breath system of a human body. It typically starts with a sun salutation to warm up the body for more intense stretching.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ashtanga</strong><br />
Ashtanga or 8 limbs or power yoga is a fast paced and intense style of yoga. This series of asana is always performed in the same order. It is a very tough and rigorous exercise because this asana demands a constant movement from one pose to next pose.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Iyengar</strong><br />
This kind of yoga practice is more concerned with body alignment. Alignment describes the precise way of practice where body should position in order to get maximum benefits and avoid injury. This asana mainly emphasizes on long time pose and quick movement from pose to next.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Kundalini</strong><br />
This type of asana mainly focuses to freeing energy in the lower body and allowing it to move upwards. All other asana controls the breath but this explores the effect of breath. Its movement is rapid and repetitive rather than the pose held for a long time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Many Americans today are struggling with persistent heavy burden of credit card debt. According to the Federal Reserve, the outstanding consumer debt was $2.55 trillion, in March 2009 in America. Revolving debt, which mainly consists credit card debt stood at $945.9 billion. This can be the result of bad spending habits or poor money management of many people. If you are one among them, by the time you understand your mistakes, you will be deeply get indebted to credit card companies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Debt accumulates and increases through interests and penalties when a consumer does not pay or even if he pays minimum amount. To clear this never ending debt, you need to act smartly by understanding the issues involved and by taking the help of a specialist counselor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Understand minimum payment issues</strong><br />
Every time you receive your monthly credit card bill, your creditor mentions the total outstanding amount as well as the ‘minimum amount’ you can pay. Most of the people pay minimum amount to stop collection agents harassing them for payments. But this is where people do big mistake. The minimum payment includes interest rates, other fees and only a very small fraction of the balance amount. This means you are paying only interest and other fees.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, if you pay only the minimum amount, you will be paying much more than you owe to the credit card company. Apart from paying more, it will take a very long period of time to make the complete payment, which becomes unbearable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Late fee and over due interests</strong><br />
You will probably get sucked more in this credit card issue if you pay your bill in time or have missed a payment. Generally most people suffer paying minimum payment because it includes all the fees that they have incurred such as fine for late payments, missed payments, or exceeding the limit of the credit. They will add up every month until you pay them completely. As this happens month after month, you will find yourself in defaulters list and remember the collection agencies will start harassing you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When brought down to this situation, most of the individuals often look to bankruptcy as the only option left. They think that it is the easy way to get out of debt. They will be unaware of the terrible consequences of filing bankruptcy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Take specialist counselor’s advice</strong><br />
If you are in this hopeless situation, making minimum payments and unable to get out of the debts, approach a credit counselor. A credit counselor helps you get out of this awful situation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He will provide options like lowering the interest rate and a loan to consolidate the loan. Lowering the interest rate would increase the productivity of your monthly payments and a debt consolidate loan can clear the debt over a defined period of time and at a rate you can afford.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Always remember, the credit card company benefits when you simply pay your minimum payments month after month. It’s never late to come out of this situation but it is better to come out as early as possible.</p>
