(January 21, 2019)--Believe it or not, but you do have a lot of control over your future and what happens in your life. Focus on what you can be doing better, and you’ll be a lot happier and better off in the long run.
It may not be an easy transformation but know that you working on improving yourself will give you the confidence you need to follow your dreams and live a more rewarding lifestyle. Learn how to take control of your life so you can move forward in the right direction and leave your past mistakes or regrets behind you once and for all.
Avoid Comparing Yourself to Others
You can take control of your life by avoiding always comparing yourself to others and what they have accomplished or are up to. Instead, concentrate on how you can be a better person each day and spend more time looking in the mirror and reflecting on your goals. This one small change is going to make you feel a lot freer, and you’ll likely find you’re more confident in yourself overall.
(CNBNewsnet)(October 31,2018)--By now, there’s a slim chance you’ve managed to avoid the term ‘cryptocurrency’, ‘blockchain’ or ‘Bitcoin’. But instead of just being buzzwords thrown about by the digital community, they are actually viable ways in which you can get involved with the future of finance. The worlds of digital tokens, cryptocurrency and forex are surprisingly easy to get involved with compared to other possibilities. By doing due diligence before getting involved with the digital future of money, you can take steps to create a safety net when it comes to finances.
Using a trading platform is the first port of call for those beginning their trading journey. The trading platform allows you to get to grips with trading and gives you a strong footing on the ladder. Trading platforms give you a wealth of information on the possible trades you can make with your digital wallet and provide information on the market and possible trends that may continue or end. While there are elements of volatility and risk in all trading, a trading platform enables you to navigate the trading sphere and gives you the best possible chance of making the right trades. That said, it’s not just beginners who use trading platforms: seasoned traders are also fond of the benefits that they can glean from platforms. Getting involved with trading, especially when it comes to cryptocurrency is the sensible next step in the digital revolution, especially when it comes to the rising use of blockchain in the mainstream. Banks are adopting Ripple as a payment method instead of the standard cross-border SWIFT payments in order to speed up the process and mitigate against the current issues with sending money overseas.
Previously, car insurance wasn’t viewed as a necessity, and at that time, some people opted for it, and some didn’t. Nonetheless, today, car insurance turns as one of the essential things in your life, when you possess a car. Nowadays, people require adequate coverage, irrespective of the vehicle a person owns; a modest car, or a luxurious one. In fact, the method through which people buy insurance has gone through a considerable transformation too. During the previous times, purchasing car insurance meant meeting your close-by agent and asking him for coverage. But, the scenario has changed altogether, as people have got access to many options at their disposal.
So, you can quickly get your vehicle insured with some novice coverage choices. Again, making car insurance comparison is a must before purchasing insurance for your car. However, buying insurance turns into a puzzling job, particularly when you aren’t aware of where to buy. You might be confused as to whether you should buy it with the help of an insurance agent or you should go online to have. There are three main choices for getting insurance for your car, and they are: buying from independent agents, buying from captive agents, or simply, buying it from the internet.
“The Mile” has been open about a month . The only entrance is from the parking lot into a small foyer, leading to a brand new bar area, with some added hightops and tv's. The Mile offers an excellent selection of draft and bottled beer, but limited wine selections. The restaurant is down a step or two at the end of the bar. It’s a quiet, relaxed area without the blare of tv’s.It's nicely done.

Whatever the reason, promoting your business should be an important part of the process. More and more businesses are having to look for new ways to advertise their business. Word of mouth still has its advantages and local adverts will always have a place. However, today’s modern consumer increasingly looks to their mobile device in order to find the best service or product. This means that you need to look for other ways to promote your business. Here are some of the most popular.
Social Media

Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram are used by small business around the world to attract new clients.

(CNBNewsnet)(July 10, 2018)Contact with fire is the most common cause of a burn injury. Fire is a really tough element and it can damage your skin badly depending on how severe the exposure is. It is also possible to have contact with a really hot liquid and this could lead to burns. Just like contact with fire, the impact also depends on the degree to which the skin is exposed to the heat.
It is also possible to have direct contact with hot objects. They are not necessarily on fire, but they can be really hot. Cooking appliances and irons are some of them. Electrical burns are quite serious. They are caused by electric currents. This could be really deep. A few seconds of exposure can even be fatal.
Laser hair removal can also lead to skin burns. When you ask for this procedure, it is possible that the heat coming from the laser could burn your skin. This is a different type of heat as the pain could last for a really long time.
Regardless of the causes, burns can be painful so you have to be extra careful at work or in places where you could be exposed to them. The same thing is true when asking for certain beauty related procedures.

(CNBNewsnet)(June 12, 2018)--There have been a lot of interesting developments here in Gloucester City - and in New Jersey in general. The market is still growing at a steady pace despite the recent uncertainties and the lack of incentives coming from the latest tax cuts.
The steady growth of the market is fueled by the manufacturing sector, which is now contributing 7.8% to the total output of the state. That number is also growing at a steady pace and experts are already predicting an imminent rise in demand for workers.
Stunning Manufacturing Output
As mentioned before, the manufacturing sector is contributing significantly to the total output of the state. That is a large portion of the economy and the number is growing at a pace of almost 0.5% per quarter. It is clear that the manufacturing sector in New Jersey is about to become one of the fastest growing industries on the market.
CNBNewsnet (June 4, 2018)--Whether you know it or not, the world is in the midst of a full-blown snoring epidemic. And this epidemic is affecting both the people who snore and the ones who don’t.
What’s worse, snoring can lead to a number of chronic diseases, including sleep apnea, a fatal form snoring where the person stops breathing during the night for minutes at a time.
What is Snoring and Are You Prone to It?
Let’s start at the beginning, shall we…
The first question on everyone’s mind is probably – what exactly is snoring? In essence, snoring is the noise produced by turbulent airflow. That means, if there are any obstructions to the airflow within the inside of your throat or nose, they will contribute to the noise.
And who’s more prone to snoring?
While people of all ages and genders snore, some are more prone to it than others. For instance, overweight people are more prone to snoring because they have more excess fat tissue around their necks; people who drink usually have more relaxed throat muscles, etc.
(June 1,2018)(CNBNewsnet)Whether you live in the suburbs of Shenandoah Valley, are a school or business owner, you should take care of your lawn. Taking caring of the lawn surrounding your home or building will keep a pleasant aesthetic and make it more suited for lying on the grass on a hot summer day. In taking care of it, you must mow the lawn and fertilize it, water it regularly and even control any pesticide issues that may arise. Neglecting the lawn will, in turn, cause lasting damage to the grass. You may want to take your shoes off and lie down on the grass in your backyard to read a book, or even sit on the grass at some point. Therefore, you must tend to your lawn for comfort and a pleasant overall aesthetic.
Mow the lawn
Mowing the lawn is important for keeping a green and healthy looking environment. There is, in fact, a science behind how you should mow the lawn. If it looks yellow or brown after it has been recently cut, the chances are that the blades on your lawn mower were set too low. Don’t cut it too short or leave it too long. Aim for somewhere on the lower side but comfortable enough that you can walk barefoot on. Follow the one-third rule – do not cut more than one-third of the height. The more rain and fertilizer you use, the faster your lawn will grow and the more it will need to be mowed.
An idea launched in their childhood to get out of washing dishes after holiday meals has turned two now-adult brothers into promising entrepreneurs.

(CNBNewsnet)September 26, 2016--Improving and maintaining high levels of employee satisfaction throughout the company should be one of the main concerns of any good HR (Human Resources) department. Understanding the importance of employee satisfaction and keeping on top of the ways in which you try to value and appreciate the employees who work for the company is absolutely vital to ensure that everything runs smoothly. As a HR professional, you are tasked with ensuring that the people who work for the company feel happy, valued, and supported in their job. But, since making large numbers of people happy can often be a pretty difficult job to face, we’ve put together some top tips to help make it easier for you.
Communication
The more employees you have under your care as a HR professional, the more difficult communication can become. While small business owners and managers can often just get their employees together for a chat, HR professionals in large companies and corporations don’t have this luxury. Instead, carrying out employee surveys can be one of the best ways in which to discover more about the workforce and what contributes to their satisfaction at work. An employee satisfaction survey gives you a great option to get to know employees by asking them to share their ideas and suggestions.
Saying Thank You
If you’re in charge of managing a large number of employees, there are probably going to be plenty of days when you won’t get a chance to say ‘thank you’ to them in person for all of their hard work. But, since showing appreciation and ensuring that employees feel valued and respected in their job is vital for good levels of satisfaction in the workforce, it’s important for HR professionals and managers to find new, innovative ways of making sure that each employee gets the ‘thank you’ message at the end of every day. This could be in the form of an email, which can easily be sent to all employees, for example. Or, you could even display signs in the office simply to say thanks!
Improving the Atmosphere
Although you may never be able to meet the individual needs of every single employee in your care, there are plenty of things that management and HR professionals can do in order to improve the overall atmosphere in the workplace, something that can contribute greatly to improving satisfaction levels as a whole. For example, holding weekly competitions, arranging employee days out and events, throwing parties for employees for special occasions, holding regular rewards and recognition events for the best-performing employees, or even having ‘dress down Fridays’ can all make the workplace a happier, more fun and more enjoyable place to be for everybody. Improving the atmosphere at work is something that you can do no matter the size of the business or the number of employees.
For managers and HR professionals who are tasked with looking after a large number of employees, managing to keep everyone happy is not easy. Thankfully, there are plenty of great ideas that you can use.

GLOUCESTER CITY N.J. May 1, 2016--Late Sunday afternoon, my wife and I enjoyed a super meal at Chubby’s at the corner of Monmouth and Burlington Streets, right across from a former portion of Gloucester Catholic High School. Matt, our excellent chef, graduated from there, as did I and our Cleary’s Blog host, Bill Cleary. We reminisced about how nice it was to work and eat right in view of part of our former heritage. Chubby’s is just a block from the Delaware River and nearby Proprietor’s Park, where it’s nice to sit, get some sun, and watch the ships pass by.

Because of the cost of higher education, it’s important to get a handle on what the longer term financial benefit of various institutions will be. It should also be noted that the benefit of higher education includes many positive factors other than simply financial return.
CHERRY HILL NJ--This is a well-kept secret. Most people think that Capital Grille is expensive, and for dinner it can get pricey, but lunch is a real deal. First, there’s free valet parking. Just drive up to the stand. Lunch prices are in effect until 4PM. You will find it far less crowded that just about any other dining establishment at the Mall. Capital Grille is located just to the left of the Nordstrom’s entrance to the Mall.
The food is excellent and the servers are attentive. They typically have lunch specials, so for two for lunch, it might only cost $10-$20 extra over what you’d spend for lunch at places like Seasons 52 or Brio, which are also very nice. I think the modest difference in price is well worth it.
aenigma is far more than just jewelry. It’s located at 6 Powell Lane in Collingswood, right off Haddon Avenue, just past Collings Avenue. Powell Lane is the street where the large vertical sign for “The Lumberyard” residences is located. It’s a short street with limited parking, so you might try Haddon Avenue instead (good luck with that). A better bet is to park just across Collings Avenue in the Speedline parking lot or in the municipal parking lot adjacent to it. Caution: the meters have to be fed until 9 PM.
Kuzina is located at 404 Marlton Pike (Route 70). It is in the “Saw Mill” strip shopping center, on the right, heading west toward Philadelphia. (856-429-1061).It has pleasant interior and a few outside tables too. Brunch is offered Sundays from 11:30-2:30 for $15.00 per person.

Main Entrée Choice includes: Spanakopita, Kota Chicken Kabob, Smoked Fish Platter, and a variety of other tasty Greek specialties.
There is a selection of mini baklavas and pasty creations for dessert and the price also includes coffee and tea and chilled juice or juice cocktail.

GOD’S LITTLE ACRE—The Borough of Brooklawn, also known by some residents as God’s Little Acre, is a happening place these days. By now most people know the Brooklawn Diner opened under new management, and if you are a sports fan you are aware that the Brooklawn Legion baseball team is making another appearance in the American Legion World Series. The defending champs begin play on Thursday, in Shelby, N.C.
What many local residents might not know is the news about four new businesses who will be opening their doors in the Brooklawn Shopping Center, Route 130 and Browning Road, before the end of the year.
Getting tired of going to the same restaurants all the time? Think about extending your reach. Bordentown, just below Trenton, might seem like the end of the earth for many in South Jersey, but that have a very fine collection of good restaurantsright on Farnsworth Avenue. (FarnsworthAvenue is easily reached by taking Route 295 North from South Jersey, getting off at the Route 130 North exit and making a left at the first traffic light on Farnsworth Avenue. Stay to the left as soon as you get on Route 130. There is no jughandle. Just stay left. The restaurant area is about a mile down, surrounded by a number of interesting shops and businesses, perfect for taking a walk before or after dinner. There is also a NJ Light Rail Line within easy walking distance, so anyone near the Riverline can take the train there instead.
Camden County College’s Center for Leadership and Responsibility in Blackwood offers widely diverse programs, short term “mini-courses” and other events for teacher continuing education credit and for the general public.

(CNBNewsnet)Based on my many years of experimentation, and poundage, here's my all-star list of bakeries and some wonderful items for you to try:
Audubon: Desserts by Design - Merchant Street A wonderful selection of cakes, cookies and other baked goods. Wonderful tarts, especially the coconut, carrot cake, and almond paste pastry. Renee will great you with her lovely smile. Haddon Heights: 'Tis So Sweet - 9th Avenue, just off Kings Highway I love their small, plain cherry pie. One of the best I've ever had, and I've had plenty. Sonya is a charming lady who also appears with her taste treats at the Haddon Heights Farm Market on Sunday mornings. She also has a "bakery camp" for children in the summer.
Tradition is a wonderful thing, and Duffy's stands tall. For ninety years, Duffy's has provided excellent chocolates at their original location at 29 N. Broadway in Gloucester City. That location also carries delicious gummy spearmint leaves and orange slices. Love the spearmint leaves.
Going toward Camden on Broadway, park your car just past the traffic light at Monmouth Street and cross over Broadway and you'll spot it easily, not as easily if you were driving and looking for it, because it's easy to drive right by - and that would be a shame.
Duffy's is a family owned business and a Gloucester City tradition, one of the City's oldest businesses. They are renowned for their "Irish Potatoes" which they sell a ton of around St. Patrick's Day. If you're a Gloucester resident, and haven't been to Duffy's - and there are actually some who haven't - take a walk over for some real taste treats.
RUNNEMEDE NJ (CNBNews.net)--Finding a shoe repair shop is getting more difficult. Pete’s is a family owned and operated business for over 50 years. Their quality is excellent. They also sell a variety of other shoe related products. In addition, they also repair many other things, including even grass bags on mowers. They sewed the lining in a piece of luggage for me. The small loop on my leather watchband came off. They took care of that too. Their prices for these small repairs were very reasonable. They did both these things while I waited.
Pete’s is a very active shop, so things can’t always be done while you wait, but they certainly do their best to help you. If you have shoes that need repair or anything else requiring sewing, I’d give them a call.
Pete’s is located just past the Runnemede Wawa on the right heading toward the shore. Proceed slowly because it’s easy to fly right by!
HADDONFIELD NJ (CNBNews.net)--Due to an auto accident I had about 15 years ago, plus other occasions, I’ve been to a number of physical therapy practitioners. This one is one of the best. There is no sitting around here, watching therapists gab with each other. Nor are clients just told what to do and left to their own devices. All clients are carefully monitored. There is great cooperation between members of the staff. The owner, Rich Romash, is on site and regularly supervises his therapists. I found all the therapists to be conscientious and extremely well-selected.
This is one of the finest books I’ve read in a long time. It offers experienced professional advice on how to best take care of our health and that of others in critical situations, to make decisions about hospice care - and when the proper time is for it, and how to best manage our own health affairs and those of others who we are entrusted to care for.
I gave Being Mortal this five star ***** review on Amazon, among dozens of high starred reviews it had:
Business Law II (Law102-OL7) will be offered online beginning July 13th and ending August 21st. This three credit course is the natural follow-up to Legal Environment/Law I. There is no pre-requisite for taking the course however. It is open to anyone. Business Law II is good preparation for anyone intending to take accounting and/or the CPA Exam, planning to attend law school or take paralegal studies, obtaining a real estate salesperson's license, for leasing, banking, insurance, human resources, and where a knowledge of agency relationships would be helpful for any business practitioner.
The course instructor is Lawrence J. Danks, a former Licensed Real Estate Broker for 40 years and also a former Approved Real Estate School Director and Instructor for 20 years. Professor Danks is a member of the full time Business and Technical Faculty at the College and is the author of several real estate textbooks. He formerly served on the full time faculties of Stockton State College and Atlantic-Cape College.
GLOUCESTER CITY NJ--I stopped in for a tuna and swiss cheese hoagie with peppers. It was very good. Why a tuna hoagie? It was Friday and I’m Catholic. But the real reason was I wanted a tuna hoagie ☺. I would have gotten it on Tuesday too. They can make sandwiches from any of the variety of meats and cheeses they carry.
The store was well stocked with many convenience items. I got some Tang, bananas and a large can of whipped cream too. (That’s good in my coffee. I don’t like the taste of coffee, but that makes it just fine!) The point is that they have a lot of things you’ll need without having to leave Gloucester City. And that’s the real point. Everyone wants convenience, but if local mini-market merchants have to close because they don’t get the support they need, it can mean a drive out of the City. So one of the purposes of his piece is to encourage everyone to support this Market and other local businesses.
Small business entails risk and commitment. Local merchants like the young couple who own Express Super Market have taken that risk in trying to serve the community. Help them to help you and everybody will stay happy! I don’t live in town, but I come in to try to support local businesses like Express, Max’s and Vitale’s because I care about Gloucester City and its future. I stopped in TD Bank to get money too! It’s a very nice office and a great addition to the City.
After thousands of e-mails and comments, and 60,000-plus votes cast, we have the 50 semi-finalists in our NJ's Best Burger Showdown. Just as with our N.J.'s best-bars competition, it was impossible to pick just 25 places from scores -- make that hundreds -- of worthy candidates. But tough choices again had to be made.

Driscoll and Balfour Beatty.
COLLINGSWOOD NJ (CNBNews.net)--Il Fiore is a great restaurant at a terrific value. It is located on Haddon Avenue, where Collings Avenue intersects with it. It is highly rated on both Yelp and Trip Advisor. It features substantial portions at very modest prices. One of my favorites is the Seafood Risotto (Risotto Pescatora). It has a variety of seafood and is a real deal at $14. The Salmon is also a bargain at the same price. I’d recommend getting it with no sauce or only light sauce. My wife likes the Lemon Chicken (Pollo Limone).

Chincoteague, Virginia (CNBNews.net)--Here’s a vacation destination that’s not too far, but far enough to feel like you’re out of the local orbit. It’s about 3 ½ hours from South Jersey. We’ve visited there four times, once in December. It’s a small, quiet town with a “Main Street” that has several restaurants and shops.
The best on the street I think is Bill’s, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. In our six day stay recently, we ate three meals there. It’s a cozy place with wooden booths and tables, a nice menu, good quality, and a friendly atmosphere. It’s open year round. I asked a gentleman there who appeared to be in charge if he were Bill. He said, “I’m Ken, but I’m Bill.” On the night we went to dinner there, I called and made a reservation and asked for a booth. When we got there, they had a little reserved sign on the booth. Pretty nifty I thought, for a small restaurant in a resort town in the summer when they expected a busy evening.
COLLINGSWOOD NJ (CNBNews.net)--Located just off the White Horse Pike, Indeblue offers excellent food. There is also outside dining on their front deck. My wife and I have eaten here many times and enjoyed it. Often when suggesting an Indian restaurant to others, the response can be “I don’t like Indian food.” But there is enough on their menu for simple tastes, and all dishes can be served with mild, medium or hot spices. The serving staff is very helpful in making suggestions and explaining various dishes. That’s good because some of the names are tongue-twisters!
HADDONFIELD NJ (CNBNews.net)--Although this restaurant has only be opened for a few months, my wife and I have had both lunch and dinner here on a number of occasions. Zaffron has been well-reviewed on Yelp and other dining sites. The exterior is identified by a black and white awning over the entrance.
Zaffron is located in the former location of “Animo Juice”, which moved across, and down, the street. The environment is small and cozy. With the addition of outside tables under cover, you can eat outside when it’s raining or when the sun is blazing. The owner has creatively removed the former display areas on both sides of the former entrance and created some inviting table space.
(CNBNews.net)--Dr. Kimmel is dual Board Certified in Sports Medicine and Family Medicine. He currently serves as Director of Primary Care Sports Medicine at Lourdes Medical Associates, which is part of Our Lady of Lourdes Health Care System.

WESTMONT NJ (CNBNews.net)-- “Blue” is a hair salon with a contemporary air. Owner Doug Kelley says their goal is to:
“Enhance our clients natural beauty while having fun”

BROOKLAWN, NJ (CNBNewsnet)—The Alice Costello Elementary School (ACES) was one of this year’s winners of the Philadelphia Phillies Phanatic About Reading program. The Phillie Phanatic is the star of children's books and as a result has turned his love of reading into the exciting Phanatic About Reading program presented by Comcast.
Studies have shown that children who are encouraged to read items of their own choosing tend to spend more time reading independently, and as a result, their literacy scores improve. Founded in 2004, the program encourages students to read for a minimum of 15 minutes a day to improve their literacy skills. Each year teachers in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area are encouraged to enroll their classrooms and join the nearly 40,000 students already reading with the Phanatic!

The Gloucester City Breakfast Club had a huge turnout for their December 29 meeting held at the Dining Car Depot, Monmouth Street at the Railroad. Some thirty-nine men were in attendance.
Hank Miller won the prize for coming the longest distance.Breakfast_club_december_07_003 The former Gloucester resident, who writes the column When East Meets West for ClearysNoteBook, flew in from his home in Kitakyushu City, Japan just for the breakfast.
Winning second place was former Gloucesterite Jack Bowe, who traveled from St. Louis Missouri to see his friends. Third was Bill Wibby Yeager who drove from Dover, Delaware. Fourth and Fifth Place goes to Butch Shaffer (Cape May) and Ron Raube (Mays Landing). The winners each received a second cup of coffee at no charge plus all the water they could drink.
El Presidente Chas Pitzo announced that Bill Cleary has resigned as treasurer and Jack Heiser volunteered to take his place. Pitzo gave a treasury report stating there was $400 in the account.
Speaking of Cleary he was the winner of the 50-50 this month. Since he was chosen to pick the stub out of the bucket some members thought he shouldn't be eligible to Breakfast_club_december_07_006 win. The executive board held an emergency meeting and ruled he could keep the prize ($19.02) as long as he picked up the tab for everyone's breakfast. Needless to say when it came time to pay the check Cleary was no where to be found.
Besides those already mentioned others in attendance included: Sam Chew, Frank Grandizio, Tom and Bud Wrigley, John Lang, Joe Boulden, Bob Bevan, Frank Cipolone, Bob Sliwa, Jack Persichetti, Ron Middleton, Joe DiGiacomo, Earl Kaighn, Walt Hall, Stu Rechard, Tom Moody.
Also, Gary Marcucci, John Hindsley, Joe Raube, Rick Gonzales, Jim and Harry Blymer, Mike Bowe, Joe Miller, Chalie Tourtual, Harry Walker, Tom ChooChoo Murphy, and Bob Bevan.
The next meeting, Saturday, January 26 at 9 AM. To become a member you must be a male, be able to eat breakfast and enjoy laughing. Also you need to know the answer to this question……where was the Charles Street Stadium located? Just in case you need a hint it was somewhere in Gloucester City.
The remnants of the greatest day ever remain in the streets of Philadelphia, or, if you were there, in your clothes, up your nostrils, under your fingernails, like grains of sand after a day at the beach. They will never go away. And who would want them to, anyway?
