Why? Because many are not aware that they are eligible and so simply do not apply.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Disability Benefits are not means tested and are not affected by savings. Disability Living Allowance and Attendance Allowance are awarded based on the applicants need.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anxiety and Panic Attack sufferers aged 16 to 65 should claim Disability Living Allowance if their condition is such that they require help from another person with personal care and/or getting around. &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Disability Living Allowance comprises two components, the care component and the mobility component, the applicant must have needed the support for a minimum of three months. &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If Anxiety or Panic Attacks inhibit a persons mobility to the extent where they are unable to go out without the support of another person, because they may Panic, run off into the Road, or need support and encouragement, then they may be eligible for the Lower Rate of the Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance. &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To qualify, the applicant must satisfy the disability condition for the lower rate mobility, the applicant must be so severely disabled physically or mentally, that they cannot walk outdoors without guidance or supervision from another person most of the time.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the sufferer needs support and encouragement from another person to manage their personal care, such as reminding to have a wash, help washing and bathing, reminding to take medication, help choosing clothes and getting dressed, support when having an Anxiety or Panic Attack, then they may be eligible for the care component of Disability Living Allowance. &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lower rate care component may be awarded if you are so severely disabled physically or mentally that you cannot prepare a meal for yourself if you have the ingredients or you are so severely disabled physically or mentally that you require in connection with your bodily functions, attention from another person for a significant portion of the day, whether during a single period or a number of periods. &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To qualify for the middle rate care component, the sufferer must require continual supervision throughout the day in order to avoid substantial danger to yourself or others, or require similar supervision throughout the night. The higher rate may be awarded if the sufferer requires supervision both day and night. &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anxiety or Panic Attack sufferers aged 65 or over, should apply for Attendance Allowance, and should have needed support from another person for a minimum of six months.

Project Management Training: Surrex Project Management Solutions

Author : Bharat Bista

iTEACH: The Project Management Training SolutioniTEACH is the project management training solution; a proven methodology based on years of experience using training concepts and approaches from top project managers and training executives originally developed by "Surrex Project Management" a premier provider of project management strategies.Pioneering in the development of this quickly configurable, flexible and collaborative training software that can be applied to diverse industries. Complex training content can be condensed into bite-sized pieces that are easily digestible using the Surrex iTEACH proprietary (training, education and context help) software. This collaborative approach to training, powered by iTEACH, is one that you can depend on to become the cornerstone of professional development for all of your knowledgeable workers, from the inexperienced to the accomplished veteran. This dynamic training system goes well beyond off the shelf presentations that are given by academic professionals and trainers using static systems; customizing all of the training solution presentations to match the dynamics and culture of each client company. This means users maximize the abilities of this utility and training and are better prepared to apply the concepts immediately.The implementation of iTEACH (training, education and context help) software solution provides a single framework to contain and link all of enterprise wide training materials. iTEACH will assist enterprise team members to become more collaborative in their approach, ensure that the training materials are well organized, and provide a framework for real time support, all this related directly to their work and in the context of their duties.Since iTEACH is a very flexible and dynamic system, it will configure and tailor the training solution to meet the specific needs of enterprise and training to designated staff members on system utilization. iTEACH was designed from the ground floor up to mitigate many of the training challenges that are created by traditional training tools and concepts.iTEACH Utilizes Three Main StrategiesDynamic Context PathwaysIn reviewing most static training systems, it is quickly discovered that most information needs to be put into context. iTEACH is quickly configurable. Tabs and context pathways can be quickly added so the users can access "Knowledge Nuggets" combined with other relevant information to give a complete understanding. For example, consider two distinct tabs, under each tab, there would be a "tree" hierarchy allowing a drill down to the correct training materials context. Each piece of the training material can be related differently to other pieces of information and have a drill down path to create a different context applicable to the needs of the knowledge worker accessing the information.Creation of "Knowledge Nuggets"Small snippets of information, reusable with multiple additional relevant pieces of information to gain complete context, are called Knowledge Nuggets. For example, a single screen for Change Notices may be used in several places with different links creating a different context. The underlying relational model of iTEACH, allows for one change, and cascades through the whole system. Collaborative ApproachThis works in two ways. First, key users can update the information on the fly. With iTEACH, a small revision doesn't mean a complete recompiling of a .PDF document or training manual. Second, iTEACH allows any document type to be referenced and linked. As a result, Visio, PowerPoint or a Word document can be part of the training materials instead of artifacts on a person's desk. Because of the dynamic nature of the iTEACH system it can also be used for varied applications in operations, processes and reference indexes.With a primary focus in total customer satisfaction in the course of many IT projects, there are times when all does not go as planned. Through customer service methodology, which focuses on early issue recognition, Surrex uses a proven successful approach to containing possible problems before they get out of control. Many companies can provide outstanding service when things are going well; Surrex strives to provide outstanding service both when things are going well and especially when they are not.Project management training itself does not make projects effective; it just makes them more efficient.Project management training teaches how to initiate, implement and execute the project; in short, it trains how to elevate the project towards its height.

Why are domain names so important?

Author : Antonio de Sousa Santana Carlos

Selecting a great domain name is important for two reasons:
first, a catchy and memorable name helps people remember it; and
second, a well-thought out name will enable you to attract
people through the search engines. Your domain name is, in
essence, the logo of your online business. It needs to express
who you are, what you do, and what products or services you
offer.

The bottom line is that a good domain name can go a long way
toward generating traffic to your Web site and building your
reputation. That, in turn, will result in more customers and
better sales.

1999 was the year of the big dot-com boom, and there was a
feeling that there were huge sums of money to be made from the
web - but back in 1999 people seemed more concerned about
branding than business plans. Inspired by the success of names
like Amazon.com, a raft of dot coms came (and went) under
snazzy-sounding titles. There was a huge land grab for virtually
all words in the English dictionary, plus every other
combination of words people could think of. Most of these sites
were never developed, but domains were often priced at huge
prices.

Premium domains are high quality domain names that are for sale
and only available in the secondary domain market.They have
excellent marketing and branding value, but also serve as an
investment.

As good dot-coms become more and more scarce, the demand and
prices for premium domain names has continued to increase.

"A domain name's importance emerged as a valuable element of an
organization's brand, and the numbers validate this trend," Matt
Bentley, CEO of Sedo.com, told the E-Commerce Times. "Though
we'll likely never see the sale prices of 1999, when domains
like business.com fetched $7.5 million, valuations for key
domains have definitely begun to elevate to demonstrate their
importance to business and organizations all over the world."

The dot-com crash that saw hundreds of start-up businesses on
the Internet close up shop in 1998 and 1999 is not discouraging
new Net entrepreneurs. A record number of domain name sales in
2005 shows that business presence on the Internet is stronger
than ever.

A domain name that reflects an organization's brand and
offerings is vital to driving new business.

Last year saw an explosion of growth for the secondary domain
marketplace, as more organizations purchased the ideal domain
name to drive their brand.
