Julie Odwell Local Businesses 1

Hello Everyone, Advertising 3
Welcome to this month's Issue of My Auctioneers 3,5-8
Town Local Magazine. I must say Bicycle Sales & Repairs 9
that it is very encouraging to see so Builders / Gardeners / Trades Back
many new small businesses starting Carpets / Flooring 10
up in our area of the Northeast Kent Curtains & Blinds Front,14
Coast. When I see and hear these Jewellers 11
new business and shop owners talk Printing 12
about their excitement and Retail 11
trepidation on opening their new Stationery 13
venture, it reminds me of what the Telephone Service
late Steve Jobs once said, the Apple Vouchers 3
founder gave advice that hits home 4
for many entrepreneurs. He said: In This Issue... 9
Your time is short, don't waste it 10
working on someone else's dream. Did You Know 11
Instead, focus on making your Word Search 12
dream a reality. Keeping that in Amazing But True 12
mind, I personally encourage you to Spot The Difference
help support and congratulate these Computers & The Internet
new start ups, I know I certainly do. You're Having A Laugh
Quick & Easy Recipes
Until next month. Julie

Your brain generates enough electricity to power

a lightbulb Your brain contains about 100 billion microscopic

cells called neurons. There are so many, it would

take you over 3,000 years to count them all!

Whenever you dream, laugh, think, see or move, it’s

because minute chemical and electrical signals are

racing between these neurons along billions of tiny

neuron pathways. Incredibly, the activity in your

brain never stops. Countless messages zip around

inside it every second – just like a supercharged

pinball machine. Your neurons create and send

more messages than all the phones in the entire

world. And while a single neuron generates only a

very small amount of electricity, all your neurons

together can produce enough energy to power a

low-wattage light bulb. Imagine that!

THINK BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD

All too often we are tempted to download an app or program
onto our computers, sadly this leaves you wide open to malicious
viruses, malware, adware or numerous other unwanted infections
on your computer to have to deal with afterwards. Staying safe,
aware and vigilant when surfing the web is key and very crucial
when downloading anything from the Internet.
So, before you download that tempting app, think carefully and
protect yourself. Here is a small checklist to follow and like always
mentioned, if when in doubt, please seek help from professionals.

1. Do you really need it?

2. Are you 100% sure what you're downloading.

3. Make sure your virus checker is up to date and working.

4. Get recommendations from friends or trusted sources.

5. Check Google, Bing or Yahoo - Top 3 search engines.

6. Download from reputable sources.

7. Don't download pirate apps, programs or software.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING

Marvin, was in the hospital on his death bed. The family called
Marvin’s Preacher to be with him in his final moments. As the

Preacher stood by the bed, Marvin’s condition seemed to
deteriorate, and Marvin motioned for someone to quickly pass
him a pen and paper. The Preacher quickly got a pen and paper
and lovingly handed it to Marvin. But before he had a chance to
read the note, Marvin died. The Preacher feeling that now wasn’t
the right time to read it put the note in his jacket pocket. It was at
the funeral while speaking that the Preacher suddenly
remembered the note. Reaching deep into his pocket the
Preacher said “and you know what, I suddenly remembered that
right before Marvin died he handed me a note, and knowing
Marvin I’m sure it was something inspiring that we can all gain from.
With that introduction the Preacher ripped out the note and opened it.
The note said “HEY, YOU ARE STANDING ON MY OXYGEN TUBE!”

QUICK AND EASY LITTLE PIZZA

You will need: Slices of Bread, Tomatoes, Cheese and bits of pepper and/or bacon etc.
Get a slice of bread and apply a little pressure to the middle to flatten it slightly. Peel the
tomatoes and cut them into small pieces. Put the tomato pieces on the bread, next put on
the cheese. Now put the peppers and/or bacon on. Put the uncooked pizzas in microwave
for about 90sec. (or maybe 2min. max). You now have your little pizzas ready. Wait a couple
of minutes before you eat them.
