Age StratificationStratification is the act or process or arranging persons into classes or social strata. Age stratification is the unequal distribution of scarce resources based on one's age. This relates to Ageism because the elderly are sometimes looked down upon and treated unfairly thus giving them an unequal distribution of resources which can be from jobs to everyday help to food. Some have trouble going through life everyday because of these reasons and others. Also, there isn't a great amount of people out there willing to help the elderly when they need help to live. Some have trouble affording things like living in a nursing home, which isn't the best place to live sometimes. Some nursing homes are horrible and don't give the elderly the resources they need to feel comfortable and content.

The Ports Regulator was established in terms of the National Ports Act, act number 12 of 2005. The Regulator is a key component of the ports regulatory architecture envisaged in the National Commercial Ports Policy. The Regulator's key function is economic regulation of the ports system in South Africa, in line with the strategic development context of the state. In accordance with this mandate, the Regulator performs certain functions and activities in the industry that relate mainly to regulation of pricing and other aspects of economic regulation, promotion of equity of access to ports facilities and services, monitoring the industry's compliance with the regulatory framework and also hearing any complaints and appeals lodged with it.
The Regulator has developed Directives and Policy Principles that expand the regulatory framework. These documents define how interested parties can engage in the processes of the Regulator and provide clarity on the process and content standards that all stakeholders can expect from, and in, their engagements in the regulatory processes.
The Regulator is comprised of a Chairman and Members appointed by the Minister of Transport. The Regulator is assisted in its operations and functions by a Secretariat that is headed by a permanent ex officio Member of the Regulator, the CEO. The Regulator functions with certain statutory and non-statutory committees that concentrate on aspects of the Regulator's mandates. The Regulator is an independent regulator, within the context of the prevailing policy and regulatory framework. The Regulator is funded by fiscal allocation from national government. The Regulator has its offices in Durban, close to the Port of Durban. Find out more about us.

The Near Ultraviolet Absorption Spectrum of Phenol Vapor13(1945); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724040View Description Hide Description
The absorptionspectrum of phenol as observed with a 3‐m gratingspectrograph consisted of 330 bands. A tentative analysis is made on the basis of the fundamental ground‐state frequencies 245, 397, 527, 811, 824, and 999 and the fundamental excited‐state frequencies 208, 374, 476, 562, 783, 935, 975, 1274, and 1565. These agree well with Raman data.
The Structure of Liquid Argon13(1945); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724041View Description Hide Description
The method of Wall for calculating the free volume per atom in a liquid has been applied to liquidargon, using the atomic distribution curves at 84.3°K and at 91.8°K given by Eisenstein and Gingrich. From the free volumes at these temperatures, the entropy of the liquid at the boiling point is calculated to be 15.8 cal. degree−1 mole−1. This value, together with the calculated entropy, 32.2 cal. degree−1 mole−1, of argon vapor at the boiling point, give an entropy of vaporization of 16.4 cal. degree−1 mole−1. The latent heat of vaporization is thus calculated to be 6.01 kilojoules per mole; this is to be compared with the observed value of 6.3 kilojoules per mole. Presented also is a comparison of theoretical and experimental atomic distribution curves at the temperatures, 84.3°K and 91.8°K.
Deviations from Stoichiometric Proportions in Cuprous Iodide13(1945); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724042View Description Hide Description
The absorption of iodine by cuprous iodide has been studied by means of a quartz micro‐balance. At 132.1°C the concentration of absorbed iodine varies as the square root of the pressure of iodine vapor in equilibrium with the sample. The temperature dependence of the the reaction at constant iodine vapor pressure indicates a heat of reaction of 0.24 ev per atom absorbed. The electrical conductivity of cuprous iodide at 132.1°C varies approximately as the 4/3 power of the concentration of the absorbed iodine.
Low Temperature Specific Heats of α‐Manganese and γ‐Manganese13(1945); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724043View Description Hide Description
The specific heats of α‐ and γ‐manganese were measured in the temperature range 52° to 298°K. The specific heat curve of α‐manganese exhibited a small ``hump,'' extending over the temperature range 63°—103°K, with the peak of the ``hump'' occurring about 95°K. No anomaly appeared in the specific heat curve of γ‐manganese. The computed heat contents and entropies per gram‐atom are as follows: α‐manganese, H°298.16—H°0=1193±4 cal., and S°298.16=7.59±0.04 E.U.; γ‐manganese, H°298.16—H°0=1221±4 cal., and S°298.16=7.72±0.04 E.U.
The Heat Content of Manganese at High Temperatures13(1945); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724044View Description Hide Description
Heat contents above 298.16°K of two samples of electrolyticmanganese were determined from room temperature to about 1440°K. From these data three transitions occurring at 1000±2°, 1374±5°, and 1410±5°K with heat effects of 535, 545, and 430 calories per gram‐atom, respectively, were observed. Smooth curve values at 100° intervals and corresponding entropies are given as well as heat content and specific heat equations for the four modifications of manganese. A specific heat equation for γ‐manganese was derived for the temperature range 298–1374°K from low temperature and high temperature thermal data; and corresponding heat contents and entropies above 298.16° for γ‐manganese were calculated.
Rate‐Dependent Chromatographic Adsorption13(1945); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724045View Description Hide Description
The process of chromatographicadsorption is studied from the kinetic viewpoint, assuming a bimolecular reaction between adsorbent and solute. Boundaries characteristic of equilibrium adsorption are obtained only if the time of passage of the solution through the column is greater than the half‐life of the reaction by a factor of at least one hundred.
Phenomenological Theory of Emulsion Polymerization13(1945); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724046View Description Hide Description
The process of emulsionpolymerization is observed to occur in the following manner. An aqueous emulsion of monomer is prepared using a soap as the emulsifier. The addition of a catalyst starts the polymerization after an initiation period whose length depends on the mean radius of the monomer globules (long periods for large mean radius and short periods for small mean radius). As the reaction proceeds, the mean radius of the globules diminishes and the free soap concentration increases. It is believed that the initiation period is the result of the existence of an inhibitor in the monomer. The catalyst reacts with that part of the inhibitor which is dissolved in the water phase, so that in order for equilibrium to be restored some of the inhibitor must diffuse out of the monomer. Rate curves are derived on this basis using the added assumptions: (a) polymerization occurs at the monomer‐water interface after the inhibitor concentration has reached a low threshold value. (b) radius distribution function of monomer has a single maximum.

I'm so miserable! I have cyst on one ovary and a fibroid growing on the other. So I haven't been able to do the deed with Hubby and I"m supposed to be ovulating this weekend and I know that I shouldn't DTD because being pregnant with a fibroid could make things worse. I'm in limbo right now waiting for my ER records to be sent to my Midwife so we can work out a plan of action and get me back into baby making mode. I"m so depressed and been so sick with this ovary stuff. Headahces, upset tummy, pressure, bloated, backache, UGH. You name it! Oh and not to mention, extrememly MOODY. =(

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) -- Orange County prosecutors say a man whose DNA tied him to the kidnapping and rape of a 19-year-old woman in 2001 has been convicted of sexual assault.
The Orange County Register reports (http://bit.ly/1o5JrgH ) a jury on Thursday found 34-year-old Raul Moreno-Perez guilty of felony counts of kidnapping to commit a sexual offense and forcible oral copulation.
The initial attack happened at a bus stop in Orange in November 2001, but the case went cold.
But when Moreno-Perez was arrested in 2012 for drunken driving he was required to provide a sample of his DNA. It was run through the district attorney's database and Moreno-Perez was connected to the rape.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 18. He faces a maximum sentence of 34 years to life in state prison.

The room became hotter as the evening progressed. It was cooler outside. Could not ask for another room as the facility was full. I will be writing to the hotel directly to let them know of this concern. The fact that the shuttle did not run 24 hours (in Vegas) needs to be noted on the priceline site. This resulted in an additional 75 charge as there was a need to keep a rental car for an additional day. ...

Nice clean room and full kitchen suite, good beds and pillows, 2 TV's. 3 story motel with convenient parking so not a lot of walking, a plus over the large resorts. Nice decor, only thing the air conditioner was a bit noisy like bearing was worn but it worked and was cold, I turned it off at night. Desk clerk charged my credit card when I checked in when I already paid Priceline. I realized this later and it was taken care of with their apologies. Very nice place if you plan an extended stay, kitchen had dishes, full-size refrigerator and stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, in-room safe. Would recommend if you want to be off main strip. ...

Cannibal Cop Seemed Like a Regular Cop at Work
He ate pizza and sandwiches for lunch.
Friday was a low-key day in the ongoing trial of Gilberto Valle, the NYPD officer accused of plotting to kidnap, murder, and eat his wife and other female acquaintances. Valle's boss, Sergeant Edwige Anatsui, took the stand to talk about the officer's daily life on the police force, and it all sounds totally standard. What did Valle usually wear? A dark suit, shirt, tie. What did he carry? A baton, a firearm, mace, ammunition, a flashlight, gloves, handcuffs, occasionally a Taser. Did the two ever go on coffee runs? Sometimes. And, most crucially, what did Valle like to have for lunch? After some prompting from a defense attorney, Anatsui testified that Valle enjoyed pizza and sandwiches on the job. After all, whole roasted ladies with apples in the mouths just doesn't work well as a takeout dish.

day at 15,112.27. The S&P 500 declined 1.4% to finish
yesterday's trading session at 1,628.92. The tech-laden Nasdaq

Benchmarks had increased to a record level until May 21,
boosted by the bond purchase program and robust economic data.
But following Bernanke's testimony on May 22, the Dow Jones has
oscillated within the range of 200 points more than fifteen
times. The S&P 500 is currently trading 2.4% below its
all-time high attained on May 21. Initially the Fed had said
there would be no changes in the bond buying program. But
Bernanke's statements emerged as singular dampener during
yesterday's trading session. The Fed chairman said the bond
purchase program would be reduced during the end of the year with
the intention of completely ending it by mid-2014. These
statements drastically effected investor sentiment after which
markets went into a free fall.
Bernanke said: "If the incoming data are broadly Consistent
with this forecast, the Committee currently anticipates that it
would be appropriate to moderate the monthly pace of purchases
later this year; and if the subsequent data remain broadly
aligned with our current expectations of our economy, we would
continue to reduce the pace of purchases in measured steps
through the first half of next year, ending purchases around
He added that the Fed expected the inflation rate would be 2%
and the unemployment rate will be around 7% by that time.
Currently, the unemployment rate is 7.6% and the inflation rate
is hovering around 1.4%. The committee expected Gross Domestic

Re-Educating Coyotes To Fear Humans In Mass.
Coyotes have moved into the Boston suburb of Belmont, Mass. The Boston Globe says they've lost their fear of humans because people feed them. So, Belmont is training volunteers for coyote hazing. Their job is to harass coyotes — shouting at them, throwing objects their way, even squirting them with water hoses.
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. Belmont, Massachusetts, has a problem with coyotes. Animals have moved into this suburb of Boston. The Boston Globe says they've lost their fear of humans because people feed them.
So Belmont is training volunteers for coyote hazing. The job is to harass coyotes - shouting at them, throwing objects their way, even squirting them with water hoses. The hope is that coyotes can be re-educated to learn that people are really not very nice, after all.

The optimal way (from an energy standpoint) to transfer from one circular orbit about a primary body (in this case, the Sun) to another circular orbit is via the Hohmann transfer, which involves transferring from one circular orbit to another using an elliptical orbit that is tangent to both at the periapsis and apoapsis of the ellipse. This ellipse is uniquely defined because we know the perihelion radius re (the radius of the inner circular orbit) and the aphelion radius rj (the radius of the outer circular orbit), and therefore we know the semimajor axis a via Eq. (5.117) and the eccentricity e via Eq. (5.114) or Eqs. (5.119). Performing a Hohmann transfer requires two maneuvers, the first to leave the inner (outer) circular orbit and enter the transfer ellipse and the second to leave the transfer ellipse and enter the outer (inner) circular orbit. Assume that the orbits of Earth and Jupiter are circular, use 150 × 106 km for the radius of Earth's orbit, use 779 × 106 km for the radius of Jupiter's orbit, and note that the mass of the Sun is 333,000 times that of the Earth.
Figure P5.146
A space probe S1 is launched from Earth to Jupiter via a Hohmann transfer orbit. Determine the change in speed Δve required at the radius of Earth's orbit of the elliptical transfer orbit (perihelion) and the change in speed Δvj required at the radius of Jupiter's orbit (aphelion). In addition, compute the time required for the orbital transfer. Assume that the changes in speed are impulsive; that is, they occur instantaneously.

About the Gaza Cheat Sheet
The Gaza Strip is a topic of great interest and debate in Israel and abroad and it is not always easy to find answers to the most basic questions about it. On this page we attempt to collect concise and up-to-date answers to some of the questions that we are asked frequently: What is the situation in the Gaza Strip? What are the restrictions currently imposed on the movement of people and goods into and out of the Strip? What is Gisha's position on the subject? The Gaza Cheat Sheet is updated regularly.
Last update: February 28, 2016
Economic situation in Gaza
More than 70% of the population relies on humanitarian aid • On the eve of Operation Protection Edge, 57% of the population suffered from food insecurity • The unemployment rate was 38.4% in the 4th quarter of 2015 (compared to 18.7% in 2000) • More than 100,000 housing units were damaged during the 2014 hostilities • According to January 2016 data from the Shelter Cluster, about 11,000 housing units were completely destroyed, of which only about 326 housing units were rebuilt • Of the 6,800 housing units that were severely damaged, 1,844 were rebuilt.
Access policy
Entrance of goods into Gaza: Kerem Shalom, connecting Gaza to Israel, is the only official crossing open for the transfer of goods into and out of the Strip • Israel allows entrance of civilian goods into Gaza, but restricts entrance for a list of materials that it defines as "dual-use", including basic constructions materials • From Operation Protective Edge until the end of 2015, 3.2 million tons of construction material entered the Strip through Kerem Shalom Crossing, which constitutes about 14% of the total need, estimated at about 23 million tons • About half of the construction materials that have entered the Gaza Strip so far were designated for private use to repair damage incurred during Operation Protective Edge, while the rest entered for projects funded by international organizations or by Qatar • About 31,727 tons of cement entered the Strip through Rafah Crossing in 2015 • Cement also entered the Strip through Rafah Crossing in February 2016, during the few days in which the crossing was open.
Exit of goods from Gaza: In November 2014, Israel canceled a seven-year ban on the marketing of certain commodities from Gaza in the West Bank, and in March it canceled the ban on entrance of some agricultural products to Israel for the sake of the Jewish practice of "shmita" or allowing agricultural land to lie fallow every seven years • In 2015, an average of 113 truckloads of goods exited Gaza per month, compared to a monthly average of about 18 truckloads in 2014 • The monthly average of truckloads of goods exiting Gaza in 2015 was just 10.6% of what exited monthly on the eve of the closure in 2007.
Travel between Gaza and the West Bank: Erez Crossing is the only crossing through which people are permitted to travel between Gaza and Israel • Until Operation Protective Edge, Israel allowed passage through Erez only "in exceptional humanitarian cases, with an emphasis on urgent medical cases", in addition to some merchants • After the cessation of hostilities, Israel changed elements of the criteria for travel from Gaza, but these remain exceedingly narrow • In 2015, a monthly average of 14,276 exits of Palestinians was recorded at Erez Crossing, compared to monthly averages of 6,270 exits in 2014 and 4,766 exits in 2013 • The monthly average of exits of Palestinians through Erez Crossing in 2015 was about 2.8% of the monthly average of exits of Palestinian laborers in September 2000, the eve of the Second Intifada, when about 26,000 laborers exited through Erez every day.
Travel from Gaza to the outside world: Travel from Gaza to the outside world takes place mostly through Egypt • During the first half of 2013, about 40,000 people transited at Rafah in both directions each month • Starting in July 2013 and following instability in the country, Egypt began limiting passage to exceptional cases only, as well as limiting the days of operation of the crossing • In 2015, Rafah Crossing was open on 32 days only, with transit out of Gaza to Egypt allowed on only 25 of those days • In 2016, the crossing has been open for 3 days only • Through its control of the Palestinian population registry, Israel has indirect control over the issuing of Palestinian passports, which are required for travel through Rafah • Due to the closure of Rafah Crossing, Erez Crossing has provided a very select number of people a way to the outside world via Allenby Bridge into Jordan • In January 2016, there were 352 exits of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Allenby Bridge, compared to a monthly average of 121 exits in 2015 • This is far from meeting needs, and can be compared with the average of 20,000 exits via Rafah monthly when the crossing operated more regularly.
Access to the Gaza Strip's land, territorial waters and air space: Israel prevents all access to and from the Gaza Strip by sea and air • Following the end of Operation Protective Edge, on August 27, the fishing zone was expanded from three to six nautical miles from the coast • The size of the "buffer zone" which is off-limits to Palestinians, stands at 300 meters from the border with Israel, but according to correspondence with Israeli officials, farmers can enter lands up to a distance of 100 meters from the border.
Gisha's position
By virtue of Israel's substantial control of the Gaza Strip, international law requires Israel to facilitate normal life in the Strip, including allowing access for civilians and civilian goods. Alongside this obligation, Israel has the authority to decide by which routes both people and goods enter and leave Gaza and to establish reasonable and proportionate security measures to prevent the transfer of weapons and other military activity. Accordingly, Gisha's position is that Israel must lift sweeping restrictions and allow entrance of construction materials into Gaza, sale of goods from Gaza to the West Bank and Israel, and travel of people between Gaza and the West Bank, subject to individual security inspections. Since Egypt began to reduce the flow of people through the Rafah crossing, Gaza residents have almost no possibility of leaving Gaza. Israel has a responsibility to allow regular movement of people and goods between Gaza and the West Bank, which continue to share a single economy, a single education system, a single healthcare system and countless familial, cultural and social ties.

Three Years Later
In August, three years will have passed since buying my domains for My Debt Marathon and for my art education website. I admit, I have fallen off the wagon for these online ventures. I wrote frequently for MDM during the first year, but I have yet to create the website for my art education consulting business goals. Every day, multiple times a day, I think about my goals of building my websites, and yet I have not taken action. This does not mean that I am not taking action in other parts of my life, for I definitely have. But I also recognize that I have to make these goals happen. It's what I know I am suppose to do, so I need to just do it!
2014-2015 Accomplishments
- Teaching with a team of educators for a project-based learning initiative at my school. We are about to start our second year! This program has the potential to be really groundbreaking for education in the state of New Hampshire. I am very excited to be a part of this program. The teaching methods require me to look at how I teach differently. In many ways, I am reaching my goals, but in many ways, I also have growth to still achieve.
- I moved! Last August, Mr. Tech and I took the plunge and moved into a two-bedroom townhouse with a garage! We are still renting, but we feel that this move is putting us closer to the goal of owning our own townhouse in the near future. We are signing a lease shortly to stay here for another year. We hope by next July to purchase a townhouse of our own. Not sure if buying will happen, but we have that as our goal.
- And the big one! Mr. Tech and I are getting married!! Woo hoo!! The wedding is 7 weeks away!! I still have a lot to do – phonecalls to make, decorations to create, and vows to write. It's very overwhelming thinking about what I need to do. And also very exciting!!
Moving Ahead
Financially, we've been making progress. I am still in six-figure debt. Each month, I am making my payments. I try hard to make extra money to pay a little extra where I can. I sell books on Half.com and I've been selling some items on Craigslist and eBay. The other day I organized stuff in the garage and I now have dozens of items to list on eBay.
But the big thing financially is that we have moved, Mr. Tech's business has grown, and we are getting married! We are paying for it ourselves, so that is a huge deal. I know we could be spending this money on debts, but getting married has been a huge goal for us, and we are finally achieving it!
So I decided to start blogging again because I realize the value writing had for helping me focus, take action, and be held accountable. I liked writing on my blog to help me set daily, weekly, and monthly goals. And I'd like to write on my little blog to help me tackle my current goals. I've got a lot going on, and being an anxious person, it's easy for me to stress about what I need to do, instead of doing it.
I already feel like I accomplished a lot today! And I have my path of what else I need to do, so that way I can clear the energy and focus on the next tasks. So this what I have done and what I still need to do!
Action Steps – DONE!
1. Paid bills.
The only bill that still needs to be paid is Mr. Tech's work van. This is another change in our financial picture. Mr. Tech got a work van to help him grow in his business, and I got a new leased Volkswagen, but my payment is $150 less than what it was. We also switched our car insurances, so that helped a lot too. I save over $1000 a year on my policy alone!
We also have a credit card bill accruing from our recent vacation to Tennessee. I'll also be adding to that bill for some wedding purchases that have to be made.
2. Signed up for Yoga!
This is something I've wanted to do for a while. I recognize that I have to make some changes to reduce my stress. I used to do yoga a lot and I know how I felt when I practiced yoga, so I decided to try it and see if I like this studio. They have an introductory rate for new students. My first class is tonight!
Action Steps – TO DO!
1. Ride bike to the bank and to a store to check out Vera Bradley backpacks.
For my birthday, my grandmother gave me $100. I decided to use some of that money to pay for the yoga, and the other amount to get a new backpack. My goal is to limit driving in order to save money on gas. I'll only do car trips that I absolutely have to. I foresee most of where I want to go is within biking distance from my house. That's the other nice thing about moving; I'm geographically located where I do most of my shopping. So that works out nicely. I only now need to conquer my fear of riding my bike. It's a silly thing. It's more about conquering negative thoughts about not deserving happiness. I just need to do the things that I've been thinking about and know that I do deserve happiness.
2. Make Dinner & Go to Yoga!
I already have cooked chicken and salad fixings. It's time to get back on to my Belly Fat Cure Diet. I was doing well during the months of May and June, but then with my birthday, I stopped tracking my sugar and carbohydrates. Time to get focused. All eyes will be on me very soon. Time to get healthier.
3. Work on Wedding
This is a larger task, of course. I need to make phonecalls about upcoming bridal events, rent a dancing tent, and schedule a photography appointment. Lots to do. So I've got to do it!
Till Next Time ~ Rachel

Reload: Rethinking Women and Cyberculture (Paperback)Mary Flanagan, Austin Booth
Paperback Published: 29/05/2002
- Not available
Most writing on cyberculture is dominated by two almost mutually exclusive visions: the heroic image of the male outlaw hacker and the utopian myth of a gender-free cyberworld. Reload offers an alternative picture of cyberspace as a complex and contradictory place where there is oppression as well as liberation. It shows how cyberpunk's revolutionary claims conceal its ultimate conservatism on matters of class, gender, and race. The cyberfeminists writing here view cyberculture as a social experiment with an as-yet-unfulfilled potential to create new identities, relationships, and cultures.The book brings together women's cyberfiction--fiction that explores the relationship between people and virtual technologies--and feminist theoretical and critical investigations of gender and technoculture. From a variety of viewpoints, the writers consider the effects of rapid and profound technological change on culture, in particular both the revolutionary and reactionary effects of cyberculture on women's lives. They also explore the feminist implications of the cyborg, a human-machine hybrid. The writers challenge the conceptual and institutional rifts between high and low culture, which are embedded in the texts and artifacts of cyberculture.

With so many of the fastest growing MLM companies pushing you to join, it can get confusing when you're looking at MLM products, compensation plans, founders, etc. What you need to remember, is that the best MLM to join in your situation is going to come down to one thing – finding someone you're excited to work with.
Throughout this post, we'll use the terms network marketing, MLM opportunity and multi-level marketing interchangeably, though you could argue that network marketing is our profession and MLM is the style of compensation plan network marketing companies use.
People who wonder why multi-level marketing doesn't work have not likely joined the best MLM for them at the time, or had great upline support and a team around them to get through the often frustrating first few months. Even publicly traded network marketing companies – who you would think are too big to pay any attention to you at all – have small teams and wonderful leaders to join.
So how do you find the right MLM opportunity out of all the network marketing companies? I'll touch on some things that were important to me, which company I recommend and why I chose the network marketing company that I did, and what to look at for yourself.
Finding the Best MLM to Join
When I was looking to join a network marketing company, it was because I had made a lot of money at affiliate marketing building hundreds of websites to market other people's products. Almost overnight, that was all but wiped out by a single Google ranking change. It was devastating, but I knew I could build something stronger.
I knew I needed LEVERAGE – and I knew that meant the opportunities of a network marketing company. I could finally get away from the short-term up and down risk of web traffic by building a solid long-term residual income in MLM.
My goal when looking at a MLM to join was not to find the best marketed or the most talked about, and definitely not who had the most before and after pictures on Instagram…. my goal was to study which MLM opportunity could help me build LEGACY income – income that will outlast my lifespan if I build it right the first time.
This meant that the products had to be evergreen, and that meant health & wellness. All of the huge MLM companies that have been around for decades are health and wellness companies.
It also meant this MLM needed to have a uni-level compensation plan. A binary plan has way too much long-term risk involved and I could lose out on a ton of money.
The company management had to be built around integrity – both in products and the business. I've had too many experiences with MLM companies that ended in disappointment because what a company said and did were very different things.
I also, of course, needed to join a company that was on the same page of what I was trying to do – building wealth and legacy income. A company that had strong leadership who would help guide my team through the initial challenges and cheer us on. Community and culture was a huge part of what MLM company I decided on.
I Joined the Best MLM Company for My Family and Me
My search ended when I found Life Matters (formerly Life Shotz). Life Matters has a first-class training system, an automated prospecting system, one of the top compensation plans in the MLM industry, a strong financial foundation and the owners have passion and make business decisions based on long-term success – not fast profits. To top it off, they have the most amazing set of products I've come across in the MLM industry.
I know that Life Matters will be the last company I join. My team is growing quickly and we will end up building wealth here – not just quick income.
My Network Marketing Story
I was a top recruiter with a company last year when I came to a point of feeling out of alignment with some of my core values. I disagreed with too much of how the company was run – much like a "typical" network marketing company – too much hype and too many broken promises.
I looked at companies like Isagenix, AdvoCare and over 30 others. I thought there had to be an MLM company that I could feel positive about getting behind and was actually excited to share!
I was introduced to Life Matters through a mutual friend of the owner of the company and his girlfriend, Kimmy.
I reached out to them and had initial calls about the direction and goals of Life Matters, my background and the network marketing industry in general. I clicked with them instantly and decided I would fly out to California to meet them personally.
Before my trip, I tried the products and had an almost immediate effect. My energy level was sustained and higher (I always used to have an afternoon crash) through out the day, as well as getting much more restful sleep. My wife also tried them and loved that her mood improved! She stays home with our two little boys every day so the mood can be a little "rough" from time to time :)
It was time for the trip.
I spent a day and a half with them at a resort near Carmel, CA and it became clear very quickly that this was a different kind of company. The integrity and honesty stood out. They shared their passion of making – not just Life Matters – but the entire network marketing profession better and more respected around the world truly blew me away.
I joined them on the spot!
If you're looking for something refreshing – an MLM company where you never have to be pushy, you never have to tell someone they "should" do something… and you simply share and respect people for where they are in their life… you might want to take a look at Life Matters.
Will You Find the Best MLM to Join?
Does network marketing work? Of course it does. When the best MLM to join presents itself to you – you'll know it. Not because of the company's marketing tactics, but because you'll find a connection with someone you want to do business with.
Try to separate the hype from the facts. Try to find out how a company trains it's people – you can typically do that by paying attention to how YOU are approached by a network marketer. Did they make you feel comfortable? Respected?
I hope you've connected with me here today. If you understand where I'm coming from and have the same desire to make a long-term life-changing income instead of hopping from one company to the next: look into Life Matters.
Remember, the best MLM to join is the one where the company's opportunity and it's people resonate with you!
P.S. What would happen to your business if you could get leads free - forever? It can really happen - watch.

KITZBUEHEL, Austria ĀŚ Hannes Reichelt became the first Austrian winner of the classic Hahnenkamm downhill in eight years on Saturday, helped by Bode MillerÆs ōheartbreakingö mistake midway down the mountain.
Reichelt avoided the mistakes of his rivals and was cheered by 50,000 spectators when the green light for the fastest time appeared in the finish area at an event watched by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone.
Reichelt mastered the Streif course in 2 minutes, 3.38 seconds. Overall World Cup leader Aksel Lund Svindal trailed by 0.21 in second, and Miller was 0.34 behind in third.
ōThis is like a dream,ö said Reichelt, who admitted he had ōlittle tears in my eyesö during the flower ceremony.
Miller dominated the only training session on Thursday, but had a costly mistake when he came off the race line at the Seidalm section halfway down the course on Saturday. He finished in the top three in a downhill for the first time in nearly two years after missing last year because of knee surgery.
ōWinning training runs doesnÆt do it for you,ö Miller said. ōYouÆve got to execute on race day. ItÆs too many times that IÆve made these stupid mistakes that arenÆt really forced. They are not forced errors. ItÆs not on a tough part of the course, itÆs just a real basic part. So, itÆs pretty heartbreaking.
ōI knew it when I came across the finish line, that IÆd just wasted another opportunity to win this course.ö
Miller said he picked the race as the right time to peak before the Olympics. The American worked closely on his setup with technician Chris Krause, who was Didier CucheÆs serviceman when the Swiss standout won three years in a row from 2010-12.
ōIÆve been skiing well and I had good confidence and knew what I had to do,ö Miller said. ōItÆs just execution, and in downhill skiing execution is what matters.ö
Michael Walchhofer was the last Austrian to win in Kitzbuehel in 2006, and ReicheltÆs victory will be a big boost to the Austrian menÆs team two weeks before the start of the Sochi Olympics. The former ōWunderteamö left Vancouver without a single medal four years ago.
ōBeing an Austrian, coming down this course and winning here in front of all these fans, is a huge present,ö he said. ōThis is a real highlight of my career. If you win here, you are a legend.ö
Until 15 minutes before the race, Reichelt wasnÆt even sure he was going to start. Suffering from persistent back problems, the 33-year-old Austrian did some free skiing to find out whether he would be able to compete without pain.
ōI wasnÆt feeling too well yesterday,ö Reichelt said. ōBut I donÆt want to talk too much about my back problems. If you win a race, it canÆt be too bad.ö
Reichelt celebrated his seventh career win but only his second in the discipline. Reichelt was also the last Austrian to win a World Cup downhill in 2012 in Bormio, Italy.
By finishing runner-up, Svindal extended his lead in the overall standings to 102 points over second-place Marcel Hirscher of Austria, who doesnÆt compete in downhill.
Svindal also tops the downhill standings, leading Reichelt by 440-360 points.
The Norwegian, who won a super-G here last year, is still chasing his first downhill win at the Streif.
ōComing second in Kitzbuehel isnÆt too bad for a result,ö Svindal said. ōBode had a mistake, otherwise he would have been unbeatable. I was happy that I was ahead of him when I finished, but I knew you could be faster. And Hannes showed just that.ö
The weekend ends with two World Cup events Sunday, a super-G race that counts as the first portion of a super-combined, followed by one floodlit slalom run.

ST. AUGUSTINE POLICE OFFICER Rene Morris and Santa Claus surprise Lincolnville resident Carrie Johnson with a turkey and Christmas gifts on Friday. By PETER WILLOT, firstname.lastname@example.com
When a procession of four SUV police patrol vehicles blocks the road in front of a home, it is usually not a good sign. But Friday morning, this brigade of badges was Santa's little helpers.
The St. Augustine Police Department delivered 33 turkeys, as well as yams, peas, corn, sweet potatoes, stuffing and a fuzzy teddy bear to local residents in need.
"Everybody deserves a good Christmas," said Officer Renee Morris, who came up with the idea and organized the event.
Friday morning stops included elderly residents, a woman with five children who has cancer and a fire victim. Sgt. Jennifer Michaux led the procession and directed Santa's helpers through sections of the city.
The Council on Aging and Ketterlinus Elementary School recommended people for "Operation All I Want For Christmas." Also, families Morris knows through her work as the community resource officer were recipients of the good will.
Some people screamed with excitement while others thanked the officers with smiles and hugs. Everyone was taken by surprise.
"I didn't do it," joked one man when he heard it was police at his door.
Another man smiled with relief, "Oh, I thought you'd come to get me," he laughed.
Police Chief Loran Lueders was excited about the idea and accompanied about 10 volunteers and officers.
"It's a great opportunity for the Police Department to give something back to the community," he said.
Lueders added that he hopes this will become an annual event.
The 8- to 12-pound Honeysuckle turkeys came from Winn Dixie, 3551 N. Ponce de Leon Blvd. The store matched money from the Police Department that paid for the food.
Ron DeRoco of St. Johns County went with the officers and played Santa Claus. He has acted the part since 1974 when he grew a long white beard and people said he resembled Santa.
"It's fun," he said after passing a turkey to another grateful resident.
Morris glowed as she marched up the steps of Lincolnville homes. Recipients were elated about the event she inspired.
"It's been wonderful," Morris said. "The reaction of some people's faces."
"It's the kind of day you don't wear mascara," she said.

5001 Angel Canyon Rd Kanab UT 84741 USA
Best Friends Animal Society is the only national animal welfare organization focused exclusively on ending the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters. To this end, Best Friends works with shelters, rescue groups and our members nationwide on a variety of grassroots programs. By implementing targeted spay/neuter and community cat programs – trap/neuter/return (TNR) programs – to reduce the number of animals who enter shelters, and by increasing the number of people who adopt pets, we know we can end the killing. We know we can Save Them All®.
When Best Friends began in 1984, some 17 million animals died every year in our nation's shelters, simply for not having safe places to call home. Today, that number is down to about 4 million.
Target demographics:
pets in shelters find homes.
Direct beneficiaries per year:
160,381 animals
Geographic areas served:

Awesome group that helps so many animals! The animals are so very lucky that these people are there to help. God bless them!

My first visit to this amazing sanctuary was May 2016. Can't say enough about the beautiful sanctuary, the staff, how well run and organized it is and the animals ..... It moved me deeply to be involved in some small part of this worthwhile organization and to see how and where my donations are used. I was deeply moved at Angels rest and left his whole experience a different person. The sanctuary has left an indelible mark on my heart and I can't wait to return next year.

I had been volunteering at Best Friends since I first found out about them in 2007. I have also participated in all of their workshops and many of their annual conferences. I have taken much of their shared information back to the shelter that I volunteered at. I eventually decided to apply to work for Best Friends and I am now the Animal Area Volunteer Coordinator Team Lead. This year we will probably exceed 10,000 volunteers. Many of them come on an annual basis.

I have been there twice and have my third trip planned. It is an awesome place. The staff there is very friendly, working with the animals is just amazing and you won't find any more beautiful scenery anywhere. The only bad part of the whole trip is when you leave :(

Each time I volunteer at Best Friends it is better and better. I work in Dogtown. The caregivers and staff spend so much time helping dogs, some from horrendous circumstances, become ready to go to a loving home. I stay in the on-site cottages. It is so uplifting to spend time helping animals in such a beautiful place.

Volunteering at Best Friends is a stunning, life-changing, amazing experience. We were surrounded by beauty - that of the landscape, the animals who find sanctuary there and the incredible Founders and caregivers. One thing I noticed beyond the compassion of the staff and volunteers was the combined joy and peace the animals exhibited. I am honored to be a supporter of and volunteer at Best Friends.

I have been going to volunteer at Best Friends almost annually since 2005, it is such a magical place. The setting is spectacular, there are so many wonderful animals to volunteer with, the staff is friendly and always grateful for volunteer help, and - of course - everyone is an animal lover so it's easy to make new friends. I cannot recommend it highly enough - a fun, rewarding vacation. Even if you don't have time to volunteer, you can take one of their free tours around the sanctuary and see the good work they do. Can't wait to go back!

I have volunteered and toured Best Friends several times - each time I do I am so impressed with the wonderful work they do. The staff and the volunteers are so friendly and love the animals so much - The animals that are at Best Friends have a wonderful home until they find their "furever home" It is a great organization

I started volunteering at Best Friends Animal Center in Mission Hills CA when they opened in 2012. I worked in the laundry room, cat kitchen, & finally decided fostering kittens was my favorite job. I take them home for socialization & keep them until they weigh two pounds, then they are returned, fixed, micro chipped & put up for adoption. I've fostered over fifty kittens & will continue fostering, it's my passion now.

Independent Booksellers' Picks: Fiction and Food

Deck the shelves with boughs of good books. That's the seasonal wish from a trio of independent booksellers we get in touch with from time to time — for ideas on new and old books to consider. This season, they have fiction — and food — on their minds.
They've selected some captivating titles, from An Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England (it's a novel, not a how-to guide) to My Last Supper (the world's most famous chefs share their final-meal ideas). And from Novels in Three Lines to a novel in 1,296 pages (a new translation of War and Peace).

It is tough enough to record new species for XC, let alone a new family! Johannes Fischer recorded 6 new species, 2 new genera and a new family on Codfish Island (New Zealand). The recordings of South Georgia and Common Diving Petrels he shared are the first from the Pelecanoididae. Johannes conducts a study on South Georgia Diving Petrel, and asks anyone with recordings to share them on XC, or to get in touch with him.
(PS: The following species make up all the remaining missing families in XC: Shoebill, Secretarybird, Plains-Wanderer, Rockfowl, Swallow-tailed Cotinga & Hylocitrea (Olive-flanked Whistler))

Time again for another march toward t-shirt doom! Discuss this week's life-or-death struggle for sales supremacy as chronicled on the Reckoning page all week long.
Here's how the Reckoning week runs now: every Tuesday at midnight, we retire the previous week's lowest-selling shirts and launch
this here discussion thread. Tuesday around noon we'll post the all-new, all-early Reckoning Recon. On Friday, we'll juice demand and
prime the pump with a little weekend reminder post. Finally, on the following Monday, the Day of Reckoning post sounds the last call
for the Reckoned shirts. All of those posts will be linked below. Monday night (or Tuesday morning), it starts all over again. The
Reckoning, she is a hungry beast...
We had a one hour woot-off earlier and neither of my shirt sales trackers changed even by 1. Thats... weird, right?

Our family stayed at Jerry's House for 10 Night. What an outstanding house, well set with everything you could need and located close to freeways on both side allowing access easily around the city. My kids loved sitting in the hot tub outside watching the places takeoff from Burbank Airport. It is close to many attractions including Disney, Universal and Warners Bros ( if your a Big Bang fan or Friends fan you must book the studio tour ). The house has many supermarkets and restaurants nearby, just a great place to stay at when in LA. Jerry was a great host, always available and checked on us during our stay. Thanks Jerry for staying so late on the first night we really appreciated it ( we arrived very late into LAX and Jerry stayed until after 1 am to open the house up for us ) we cannot thank you enough. I would recommend staying in the house to anybody!!
The home was lovely. I rented it for a group of musicians I was working with for a week long stay and they had nothing but praise for the house, and they were pretty picky guys!
Cable TV, well equipped kitchen and a quiet out of the way master bedroom were the highlights of the trip.
Jerry was an excellent host and offered up plenty of guidance on the house and nearby restaurants, things to do.
This place is just fantastic. My family rented it with our American family for a reunion and a visit to LA. The home is beautiful, stylish and very spacious. Lot's of privacy for a big family like ours. The furnishings are really unique with lots of interesting details. It is near to everything you want to see in the LA area like Warner Brothers, Disney, Universal Studios, and there a lots of great restaurants nearby. Since we were a large group we did a lot of cooking in the well equipped kitchen. The pool and jacuzzi were perfect and the outside living area was really special. This was one of our best vacation home experiences and the owner Jerry made everything just perfect. We will be back for sure.
The Rose House was even more spectacular than the photos promised. It's beautifully furnished, immaculate, spacious and perfectly maintained. Lot's of privacy for combined families (like mine) visiting the LA area, and close to everything from shops and restaurants to Disney, Warner Brothers and Universal. Porto's famous Cuban bakery is close-by too; but don't let the long lines fool you, it moves fast and is worth the wait. We also loved the backyard gazebo, pool and jacuzzi and the owner Jerry was so easy to work with. This is an awesome value for the money. Will definitely return here.
This was one of the rare instances where a listing lived up to its photos. The accommodations, the backyard gazebo, the pool, the jacuzzi, the spacious rooms — everything was there as advertised and beautifully maintained. In fact, the accommodations were so comfortable that I had trouble prying my visiting relatives from their lush surroundings and actually going out to see the rest of the valley and L.A.
The Rose House is every bit as nice as the other reviewers have noted, and a great value for the price. Jerry is extremely easy to work with and efficiently showed us all the many features of the house upon our arrival.
One bit of information I can share that may be helpful that I didn't see mentioned elsewhere is how the house is laid out. For us that was one of the best features. We had 3 generations on our trip: 1) My wife and I, 2) My Mom, and 3) My brother, his wife, and their 3 young kids (5, 3, 1).
As you walk through the front door you enter the large living room/dining room/kitchen on an open floor plan. Immediately to the right is a suite with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath (we put Group 3 there). Down the hallway is another bedroom with bath (Mom) and further down is the master bedroom and master bath (where my wife and I stayed). You do have to go through the master bedroom to get to the backyard/pool/hot tub/cookout/fireplace area (unless you want to walk out the front door and around the house), but this is easily managed. This is all to say that the house sets up great for groups with the big room and the backyard for together time, and also 3 distinct pods for alone time.
The location of the house was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. Only a few minutes from Burbank Airport (Atlantic FBO is good for you fellow pilots), about 45 min to the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, also 45 minutes to Santa Monica Pier, and about the same to Beverly Hills -- an ideal hub from which to embark on a different activity each day.
The kitchen was well stocked with sundry staples/spices left by previous guests, so check out the cabinets before you make your grocery run; you will be pleasantly surprised. A nearby Von's has everything you could ask for in a grocery store, and there are many neat places to eat nearby. If you are in the mood for Chinese takeout, we really enjoyed the Hot Wok only 5 minutes away (cash only), and for gourmet donuts/cronuts/cruffins Kettle Glazed is worth the 15 minute drive.
Thanks again, Jerry, for a great experience.
Centrally located, Universal studios tour, as well as Warner Bros,
studio tour is all within 8 minutes of the house, Hollywood & Highland is 14 minutes from the house. Ellen Show or the Conan Obrian are 8 minutes
