Can anyone advise me on this? The nursery said 30 feet apart and yet the orchard where I 'pick my own" doesn't have them anywhere near that far apart. It would be better for me if they could be more like 20 feet - in terms of getting best sun spot in my yard. I plan ultimately in having 6 trees...three of each and a seventh which would be a cherry. all advice welcome! Deborah |
Follow-Up Postings:
Deborah: Your thinking is much clearer than your nursery. For semidwarf 10ft between trees with 15ft rows is doable depending on how much summer pruning you do. Even 15ft by 20ft, which is a lot for any semidwarf apple, is way less than 30ft. The Fruitnut |

Thanks! That makes SO much more sense. Also...how deep to plant? Just to where soil is in pot which is below the graft. Is that correct? |
- Posted by glenn_russell 6b, RI (My Page) on Mon, May 25, 09 at 20:40
Hi debstuart1- That's correct. You want to plant the tree at least as high as the original soil line… otherwise roots can form above the union down into the soil which effectively removes the benefit of having a (semi) dwarfing rootstock. The reason to plant it even higher than the original soil line was talked about by Harvestman (see post below) today: Often the trees will sink a bit in their new hole, especially if it was dug too deep. Also, you'll be adding mulch on top of the soil, which, year after year, becomes a slightly higher and higher soil line. Make sense? |

We just received a lecture from a local orchard regarding this at our local plant swap 2 weekends ago. A semi-dwarf is meant to grow about 10-12 ft tall, maybe more. So, figure your spacing on that. |

Tsao NW et al. – Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation–assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) that is complicated by profound cardiogenic shock (CS) may improve the 30–day and 1–year survival rates.
Methods- The authors collected patients from January 2004 through December 2006 (stage 1); 25 patients who presented with AMI and received primary PCI and had profound CS were enrolled in the study.
- Intra-aortic balloon counter-pulsation (IABP) was the only modality for extracorporeal support in the hospital.
- From January 2007 through December 2009 (stage 2), 33 patients who presented with AMI and received primary PCI and had profound CS were enrolled; for this stage; both intra-aortic balloon counter-pulsation and ECMO support were available in the facility.
- A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis displayed significantly improved survival for patients in stage 2 (P=.001; 1-year survival in stage 1 vs 2; 24% vs 63.64%).
- Patients presenting with either STEMI (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) or NSTEMI (Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) benefited from ECMO-assisted PCI (P<.05).
- In stage 1, patients with refractory ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation had a very low survival rate; however, in stage 2, the survival rate of patients with and without refractory ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation was similar (P=.316).

March Madness Calcutta Auction Pool | ||||||||||||
What is a March Madness Auction Pool?
The Auction Process There are two different options: You also have the option to group the 13,14,15, and 16 seeds in each region and auction them off as a package deal or auction each team individually. Randomly select each team that will be auctioned off. There is no limit to the number of teams a person can purchase. Auction off each team, having the winning bidder put the corresponding amount of money into the pot. Write each persons name/initials on the bracket beside each team that they win. If your pool is using the "set dollar amount" option, all money not spent must be added to the prize pool. Payout Structure The payouts are structured so that every winning team receives a portion of the prize pool. In the table below, teams that win ONLY one game would split 2% of the total pool, teams that win ONLY 2 games will split 3% and so on.

MarketWatch brought up a new point to ponder—-the fact long-term care is already rationed. Gleckman noted that health care professionals often find elderly people in their houses; they've been dead for a week or more because they hadn't received the care they needed. Perhaps this kind of rationing hasn't made it to talk news shows yet because it doesn't affect the incomes of sellers who would be affected by another kind of "rationing." If a government authority ruled on the costs and benefits of new technology and said certain interventions might not be cost effective or clinically effective, you can imagine the cries of "rationing" and how Americans are being denied life-saving treatments. But then, this is long-term care we're talking about, not the latest and greatest—and possibly not so great—medical procedure.
I particularly like the way Powell reported other funding ideas that the country might consider, such as increasing the amount people pay into Social Security to pay for long-term care, or redesigning Social Security so that it pays less in the early retirement years when people have other savings and don't need care, and more in the later years when they do. Even though Social Security has been one of the dominant topics in Washington this year, the policy elites have kept to a narrow discussion that has not included talk of strengthening Social Security or using it in a different way, such as funding long-term care. The only acceptable dialogue has revolved around cuts, not on ways to strengthen it or how it can be used to pay for long-term care. And the media have followed that framing.
All these are good story ideas for a hungry reporter. Maybe with their help we can really have that adult discussion politicians like to talk about. This one will be about how the country will care for all those people who are living longer.

This triggered some thoughts regarding the use of a role-playing game (RPG) as a therapeutic intervention modality, namely "Role-playing game Therapy" versus "Therapeutic Role-playing gaming"...

2014 Summer Release Schedule for the New Tabletop D&D 5th Edition - "Free to Play" and Staggered Release (Grumble)
Why is WotC spreading out the release of the Players Handbook, Dungeon Masters Guide, and Monster Manual over several months, rather than releasing those core components in the same month??? They are making a free PDF of the Basic set available for download, but the initial download will only be a basic Players Handbook, with no rules to actually run a game. They are planning to emulate the online gaming world's "Free to Play" approach. They will be releasing future free basic versions of the rules via PDF that will include some rules for play, and then also staggering the release of the hardcovers. Internal Correspondence reports the release dates for many of the new D&D products that Wizards of the Coast has announced for the Summer, beginning in July.
Study Playing RPG for 5 Minutes, "Alignment" Impact on Real-world Behaviors (Computer-based RPG)
Though this is a computer-based RPG (Role-Playing Game) study, pending testing with tabletop, it seems possible that it could apply in tabletop RPG, LARP (Live-Action Role-Playing), and maybe even CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) forms of RPG as well? I would be interesting to perform the same style study with the other formats to see if the format changes the results (or not). Received 10/26/13; Revision accepted 12/11/13
RPG Research Status Update, May 17th, 2014
Here is a status update on some projects from the past month developing tabletop and live-action role-playing games for use as educational and therapeutic intervention modalities for autism spectrum adults.
First Prototype of Tabletop RPG as a Modality for Therapeutic / Educational Intervention
This is my first prototype rough draft in the development of role-playing gaming as a modality for therapeutic / educational interventions. For a Recreation Therapy course in which I am currently enrolled at Eastern Washington University, our task last week was to "Develop a Tabletop Leisure Education Game" for a group of Autism Spectrum (and other) adults in a facility near the Seattle area (we are in Spokane, WA). Of course I selected (with the approval of my assigned partner in the project, Tabletop Role-Playing Gaming (RPG ) for this assignment, in this case a 1940s Gumshoe Detective-style mystery set in urban Chicago...
RPG Research Status Update
A lot has happened over the past several months, and there is actually a backlog developing, so I thought I would take a minutes to organize the backlog, update folks on what has been completed, and look ahead to what is coming down the pipe. If there is anything I forgot to include, please let me know so I can integrate it into this article. Many of the items in the queue might unfortunately be stuck until the summer holiday from university. Consider this also my public TODO list...
LARPing as a Form of Therapy - Panel Hangout Broadcast - Wed. March 26 6:00 pm Pacific
Join the discussion with the panel regarding the therapeutic uses of role-playing gaming, especially LARP (Live-Action Role-Playing). Featuring Dr. Sarah Bowman, Hawke Robinson, Chris Shell, and Jamie Metzger, hosted by Kristin Brumley. Additional details below...
When Does Role-Playing Gaming Become "Bad" For Participants?
What do you think is a reasonable baseline for "safe" RPG participation? With different populations, when is there "too much of a good thing"? Do you have any anecdotes, or better yet research data that validates any particular stance? I am slowly building up the background for extensive research on the potential therapeutic uses of role-playing games in various formats (tabletop, live-action, computer-based) for various populations (TBI, PTSD, Autism-spectrum, LD's, etc.), with the assumption that there is potential benefit. But what are the potential risks?
Creating LARP Program for Autism Spectrum Toddlers
Due to excessively strict NDA of the organization, I am very limited in what I can post, but letting those following the RPG Research, beginning working with autism-spectrum toddlers today from a recreation therapy approach, and developing an activity program that is LARP (Live-Action Role-Playing) quest-style for this population group, that we will actually implement in the next few weeks.
Original D&D White Books 2013 Reprint Special Collector's Edition Boxed Set - Unboxing
A walk down a path of RPG nostalgia / history, Wizards of the Coast has reprinted the original D&D white book set, and bundled it in a wooden box with dice.

Nicole Messerman Degree: B.S. Institution: University of Maine Year completed: in progress Current Position: Student Ocean Acidification and sperm motility in the Giant Sea Scallop I am examining how ocean acidification affects sperm activity in the giant sea scallop (Placopectan megellanicus). My project is a spinoff of two projects under way at the Darling Marine Center: a NOAA project led by Richard Wahle studying scallop spawning and fertilization dynamics, and an NSF project led by Jeff Runge evaluating acidification effects on copepods. Since ocean acidification is becoming an increasingly relevant issue, it is important to try to understand how decreasing pH may affect sperm activity and fertilization success in these broadcast spawners. I ran multiple trials recording sperm activity overtime at various pH treatments and then I tracked the movement of the sperm using video analysis to calculate the speed of the individual sperm cells. I plan to continue this project after the REU program ends as my Senior Capstone Project at the University of Maine. So the next step of my project is to examine how decreasing pH affects the fertilization success in scallops. I am currently working on running fertilization experiments in the lab. ______________________________________________________________________________ |

Ileana Freytes Degree: B.S. Institution: University of Puerto Rico Year completed: in progress Current Position: Student Interoceanic comparison of predatory fish response to prey availability after habitat disturbance Ileana's REU project was a field investigation of the response of benthic and demersal fish to local sea bed disturbance that exposes small invertebrate prey, such as crabs and worms. Measuring the response of fish assemblages to local disturbance can be a useful indicator of local and regional differences in predation pressure. Her project took advantage of the fact that during the summer her mentor, Dr. Rick Wahle (UMaine), was launching an NSF Rapid Response grant to investigate the impacts of the February 2010 tsunami on the benthic community of Robinson Crusoe Island, some 500 km off the coast of Chile in the southeast Pacific. Ileana spent three weeks in Chile and the remainder of her REU in Maine, thereby creating the opportunity to compare and contrast two dramatically different marine ecosystems. Hailing from Puerto Rico herself, Ileana became a tremendous asset as an ambassador for the project. ______________________________________________________________________________ |

Noah Oppenhiem Degree: B.S. Institution: Reed College Year completed: 2010 Current Position: Fisheries Observer, NMFS In situ monitoring of tethered lobsters reveals diel shifts in predation intensity and cannibalism I used an infra-red illuminated, time-lapse, underwater video system to examine day-night differences in the level of predation on juvenile American lobster. Tethering trials were conducted at multiple shallow water locations in mid-coast Maine. Predation rates were surprisingly higher during the night than during the day. During the day most predators were crabs, but during the night virtually all the attacks were by larger lobsters that forage nocturnally. To our knowledge, this is the first direct field evidence of cannibalism by the American lobster. Notwithstanding possible artifacts of tethering, these preliminary results suggest that cannibalism warrants further investigation as a possible mechanism of population regulation in lobster populations at high density. Lobster populations in coastal Maine are at historically high levels likely because of the depletion of predatory groundfish over the past few decades. |

The concept of robots has fascinated humans for a long time, even as far back as ancient Greek myths.
But, now, as technology advances rapidly, there are lots of people who think a robotic future is just around the corner.
The founders of Australian startup Robological fall in that camp. And they're doing their part to usher in that future by creating Ro-buddy, a motherboard/Android app that will allow kids to quickly create their own robots, no coding required (for now).
The team is in the final days of their Indiegogo campaign. Check out our Q&A with the founder Damith Herath below.
What is your startup called?
What's the story behind your idea?
The foundation of what would become the software framework for Ro-buddy was laid as early as 2010 when the founders worked on an Australian government (Australian Research Council) funded research program called the Thinking Head Project.
However, the Eureka moment came when we volunteered to teach robotics to primary school kids at a few local schools. In brief, the story goes like this – having been academics for sometime and partly forgotten our own childhood, we've gravely underestimated the creative and tech prowess of the 10 year olds we were teaching robotics – setting the bar so low, they surprised us by coming up with creative ideas for robots and wanting to create sophisticated robots of their own. Only armed with toy robots at the time, we quickly realized that these kids need something more sophisticated as a starting point, but at the same time not too complicated to dishearten them. Working on this challenge over the last year or so we realized that combining the software framework we've already developed (which was used by artists for creating interactive art/robot projects) in an Android App with a tightly integrated hardware platform would achieve this end goal.
The combination of an App and the hardware enables anyone to build custom control interfaces using a drag-n-drop interface on an Android device without writing a single line of code. In addition our hardware could directly interface with the Raspberry Pi enabling users to make use of additional computing power and wireless connectivity provided by the Pi.
We've seen a lot of parents purchasing Raspberry Pis for their kids in the hope they'd get hooked on to programming and hacking. But most get discouraged by the steep learning curve at the beginning. Ro-buddy bridges this gap by enabling easy connectivity and providing an out of the box experiences for these kids so they're not discouraged at the beginning of the computing journey.
In a nutshell, Ro-buddy helps you to concentrate on your creative idea rather than the hardware/software needed to realize it.
Who are the founders, and what are their backgrounds?
Damith Herath – A roboticist with a PhD in Robotics
Christian Kroos – A cognitive scientist with a PhD in Linguistics
Zhengzhi Zhang – A software engineer with an MSc in Engineering.
Where are you based?
We're based in Sydney, Australia
What's the startup scene like where you are based?
There's a fairly vibrant startup community in Sydney and it is quite active and growing at the moment. However, investors are still hedging their bets mainly on traditional industries such as mining. In particular, there's very little enthusiasmfor high tech startups that involve hardware like ours.
How do you see people using Ro-buddy once it's developed?
As mentioned earlier, Ro-buddy is a great way to build robots and other things with minimal programming effort – for example someone who bought a Raspberry Pi and then never really managed to use it to build something because of the initial learning curve – Ro-buddy provides a great entry point.
It is a great way to combine your Android device and hardware to create robots, toys, school projects etc. Having a tightly integrated hardware/software system enables people to concentrate on their creative side rather than the software/hardware aspects, which are usually the realms of geeks.
Another great way to use Ro-buddy is to give a new lease of life for your old RC toys. You could easily replace your old RC toy car's electronics with a Ro-buddy board and start controlling it with an Android device! In combination with a Raspberry Pi you could even turn it into a spy bot or a semi-autonomous vehicle using the Python API that comes with Ro-buddy.
Where do you see the field of robotics going in the next 10 years?
We're heading for a very interesting decade of robotics.
We personally believe that this period is similar in nature to the beginnings of the PC revolution. We've seen new companies like Re-think bringing robotic manufacturing to a new level and many other successful startups appearing on the map. There's also crowd funded robotic projects like Romo. Mind you we were engaged in a similar project slightly before Romo that used the software framework mentioned earlier – A project in collaboration with a renowned artist – Stlearc
Increasingly we'll see human friendly robots entering the day-to-day use in unconstrained public environments. They'll be in different shapes, sizes and form but would be fairly ubiquitous. Also, the Internet of Things will play a major role in this period.
What are some of the milestones your startup has already reached?
Ro-buddy is only the beginning for us. We are committed bringing the knowledge gained from working on the Thinking Head project and turning it into useful and commerciallyviable robotic products. So far, we have been able to assemble a great team to develop critical software and hardware. We've also been able garner the help of a few key industry/academic leaders in Australia to act as our mentors.
For example, Prof Chris Drane who is a serial entrepreneur on his own right is one of our mentors.
What are your next milestones?
First priority is to complete the Ro-buddy project and deliver on our promises to our backers. In tandem we're working on another robotic project – which is in stealth mood at the moment.
Also, we're exploring the possibility of using Ro-buddy on industrial strength applications.
Once we have these working prototypes, we'll be looking at potential partnerships, funding and/or investment opportunities.

Looking back at the facts
The chances are you will experience back pain in your life; you don't have to take it lying down
Who runs a greater risk of suffering with back pain? You do, if you're aged 20-50; you're overweight or obese; pregnant; a long-term user of medications such as corticosteroids, which are known to weaken bones; you're stressed or depressed.
Health care costs for UK back pain are £1.6 billion per year. The NHS spends more than £1 billion per year on back-pain-related expenses. These include:
- £512 million on patient hospital costs
- £141 million on GP consultations
- £150.6 million on prescribed physiotherapy treatments.
The private healthcare sector doesn't escape a hefty bill, either, with hospitals and clinics forking out £565 million a year for treating their fee-paying back-pain patients.
Most Back pain lacks a definite cause, in fact, more than eight out of 10 back pain cases will have no clear medical culprit at all.
Positive thinking can work wonders – people who have a positive outlook and say they enjoy a good quality of life tend to make a faster recovery from bouts of back pain than those who report symptoms of depression and are unhappy with one or more aspects of their lives.
your backbone has 33 vertebrae, and these are separated by spongy discs and classified into four areas. The cervical area consists of seven bony parts in the neck; the thoracic spine is made up of 12 bony parts in the back area; the lumbar spine consists of five bony segments in the lower back area; five sacral bones; and four coccygeal bones (these vary from three to five).
Taking it easy won't always help– in the past, bed rest on a firm mattress was the standard treatment advice for a bad back, but that's all changed now: crawling around on your hands and knees is better than no movement at all! Exercises that don't put too much pressure on the back – such as walking and swimming – are advised, even during bouts of pain, as they get your joints moving, and your heart and lungs going.
Backache is usually classified by how long your symptoms last:
- Acute back pain doesn't last longer than six weeks
- Chronic back pain lasts for more than six weeks
- Most non-specific back pains ease and go quickly, usually within a week or so
- In about seven out of 10 cases, the pain has either gone or has greatly eased within four weeks
- In about nine out of 10 cases, the pain has gone or has greatly eased within six weeks.
Sciatica affects people between the ages of 25-50. This is a term used to describe any pain – mild or acute – that stems from the lower back and radiates down the back of the leg. It can be caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, although a slipped disc is the most common cause.
Glucosamine won't help with a bad back, says new research published last year. The supplement – often used by people with arthritis or other joint problems – didn't ease lower back pain in studies.

I have a Belinda's Dream rose bush that has grass growing right up the base of it.
My understanding is that this is not good for the rosebush and there should be a ring of dirt around it. My question how large should the circle of dirt be if I wanted to also plant parsley around the rosebush as well? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The circle of dirt should be as wide as the widest part of the bush. This is known as the drip line and is true for all woody shrubs and trees. Grass and other invasive plants prevent air and water from getting to the roots. Even tho roses have a primary tap root, the feeder roots still fan out. You don't want to plant parsley beneath or near a rose because the sun and water needs are too different. Parsley likes part shade and a lot of water. Roses want full sun and deep but less frequent waterings (once or twice a week) in well-drained soil. The soil closer to the surface should be just be cool-moist but not wet. If you want to plant herbs near a rose, choose the woody Mediterranean herbs like thyme, oregano, etc. chives are good to plant because they help prevent insects. |
And for future reference, the space around the rose should extend out to the rose's anticipated mature width and a bit farther. An immature rose may be only 2-3 ft wide, for instance, but by year four, 4-6 ft wide. Kate |
- Posted by karl_bapst_rosenut 5a, NW Indiana (email@example.com) on Mon, Mar 30, 09 at 15:15
Check out the mature width on helpmefind.com and plant accordingly. If the mature width of the roses you are planting is 3 feet, that means the rosebush will grow out 1 1/2 feet each way from it's center. By planting them three feet apart the bushes will touch when mature. Planting them 42 inches apart means there should be 12 inches of space between the bushes when mature. The mature size is influenced by your growing zone, how you fertilize, how you water, and how you prune. If you want them to grow together late in the season you can plant them closer together or if you want them to be distinctly separated you can plant then farther apart. When room is at a premium, you can plant them closer and keep them pruned back more. At one time I had 550 bushes on a lot 165'by 60' My roses were planted 18 inches apart. by summers end, they were terribly growing into each other but the effect was stunning. I could get away with it because I sprayed and the bushes experienced a lot of winter dieback resulting in much smaller bushes each spring as a result of the severe pruning required. In my larger lot here where I live now, the bushes are 3-4 feet apart or more depending on their mature size. I have less disease pressure due to better air circulation around each bush. That's something else to take into consideration. |
I thought that Parsley was a companion plant to roses and that they were even supposed to enhance their aroma. |
I've never heard that about parsley, and I don't know about the enhancing aroma bit--sounds a bit like an old wives' tale. Perhaps in some rainy place like England or Oregon it would work with some kinds of roses. But I wouldn't try it. |
In my gardening magazines, there is no space between the roses and the other plants, everything grows together, even in the pots they recommend planting something else together with the roses. I am very confused now. Which is better?? Thanks for starting this discussion, it is very interesting. |
- Posted by karl_bapst_rosenut 5a, NW Indiana (email@example.com) on Mon, Mar 30, 09 at 21:00
OoPs, I failed to see that you were referring to the space around a bush if you wanted to plant companion plants around them. In that case, it's pretty much up to you. Anything close to the bush will take nutrients and moisture away from it so you'll have to fertilize and water more often. You'll have a bit of a problem keeping it weeded. You'll not be able to scratch in fertilizeraround the bush if you leave little or no room to do that. I prefer to keep everything but roses out of my rose beds. |

Superman Quiz
George Reeves was not the first man to defend truth, justice and the American way as Superman, but he is perhaps the most tragic. Although he possessed leading-man good looks, an impressive physique and serious acting talents, movie stardom and financial success eluded Reeves for most of his life. His death in 1959 ensured that Reeves would be famous not just for his work, but also for the mystery surrounding his demise. While theorists and investigators may never agree on what happened in his final moments, his life remains a fascinating story. As we celebrate his 100th birthday on January 5, see how much you know about television's first Superman in our George Reeves quiz.

The reason why banana ranks as a top happy food is due to the great amount of tryptophan and tyrosine it contains. Both tryptophan and tyrosine are essential amino acids, i.e. we need acquire them from food intake because our body cannot produce it internally. They're both precursors to "happy" neurotransmitters – serotonin and dopamine!
Naturally human beings like to be in a state of bliss and happiness, and it can be concluded from research that serotonin and dopamine levels correlates with a person's feeling of happiness and well being. Low levels of serotonin are believed to cause mood disorders and depression. Therefore, serotonin is the chemical that is targeted by the new wave of antidepressant drugs, such as Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, etc. The goal of these antidepressant drugs is to raise the levels of serotonin in the brain, and improve a person's mood. Let's take a look at how antidepressant drugs work, in raising the levels of serotonin in the brain. Since there are many different classes of antidepressants; we will focus on a newer class of antidepressant medication named Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs).

Accessories and Documentation
As i mentioned near the beginning, the hardware box can be found in one of the foam caps. Half of the contents are here. They include the "bag-o-screws", if it needs a screw to be mounted or a riser to sit on, return to this bag for the needed screws and bits. At the top is of course a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter if you choose to use a floppy drive still. That leaves the double sided, Velcro, tie strap that can be used to tidy the mass of PSU wires as needed.
Here we have adapters for just about anything you need. SSD and floppy adapters, a wiring fan adapter, and three tie down straps wrap up the goods.
The manual is very well written in clear and simple text. As I said, I had to refer to it to make sure I wasn't going to break anything just getting it open. While I was there I looked at it from cover to cover, and I don't see how you can get into trouble installing components using the tool-less mechanisms and figuring out what adapters and what hardware to use to accomplish the task.

Empower ambitious teachers to transform a broken education system
Serving Our Children
Challenge – Nearly two-thirds of American high school students graduate from a compulsory school system entirely unprepared to compete in a global economy. Severely underperforming teachers and students are recycled through the system, dragging everyone else down. Meanwhile, good teachers are stretched to the limits, often using their own disposable income to go that extra mile—buying supplies, textbooks, extra reading material, educational field trips, and more—to offer anything that can help students see beyond widespread failure. Ambitious teachers are the real change agents to transform a broken system, and realign focus onto the students.
Investment -- Relieving ambitious teachers of unnecessary burdens allows them to focus on core competencies—teaching to achieve student performance. GNF along with along with education experts, reformers, social entrepreneurs, and private sector executives can invest $75,000 to build and execute a business plan on creating a nationwide organization focused on teacher empowerment. Resources in the forms of grants, supplies, or help-lines could be offered to eager teachers across the country.
Desired Results:
Paradigm Shift: The most ambitious and effective teachers will be elevated, networked, and collaborative directly with core needs outside of imposing power structures
Relevance: Teachers can make the focus of education on students as well as strengthen the weak school system
Venture Growth: Executed business plan that works to build a nationwide organization focused on teacher empowerment along with education experts, reformers, social entrepreneurs, and private sector executives
Sustainability: Continuous activation of resources in the form of grants, supplies, or help-lines offered to eager teachers across the country, with continuous results seen by way of student success and development

text: [BACK] Illegal reproduction and distribution of this report is forbidden. Copyright OneDollarRiches.com , 2011. All rights reserved. Starting right now you will learn how to make thousands of dollars using only your computer, your efforts, and the power of the internet. This is not a theoretical doctrine. This is a practical, do-it-yourself report that will hopefully open your eyes, if you are a beginner. And if you are an intermediate or internet expert you will be able to make lots of cash with this simple report. This report is about 2-5 pages long, depending on your computer browser, resolution, operating system, and/or printer. The length of it is not what's important. What is important is its content. This short report has several different links that will direct you to websites that expand on and explain in more detail what will be revealed here. What should YOU expect? Get ready for 2 weeks of intense learning and reading. You should pace yourself. Don't rush it. You will learn how to create, package, and sell one of the hottest items ever. So sit back and relax. Get a drink and get comfortable. This report starts now... Your State of Mind: Are you ready for success? Before you start making loads of cash, you must have the right attitude. You will come across a lot of obstacles and you will need a positive attitude to survive them. Below are two examples of what this really means. Example 1 Two women have a huge problem. It's a crisis and things are not looking too good. Both women have THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. Woman "A" always looks at things in a positive light. She knows that things will pass and that you have to have faith. She knows that one must do good and have positive thoughts. She knows that thoughts lead to action, which lead to results. Positive thoughts lead to positive actions which lead to positive results. She is also bold and knows what she wants. Woman "B" is a skeptical, negative person that always complains and thinks that everyone is out to trick her. She also believes that she is victim of her problems and it is very hard to get out of them. She is also afraid of taking important steps to solve her problems. Question: Who do you think will succeed this crisis, Woman "A" or Woman "B"? Your answer will be obvious. Think about that and figure out who you have to be in order to succeed. Example 2 Two men want to sell widgets. They both open shops in similar parts of town. They both get the SAME EXACT EXPOSURE. They get the same setup, the same types of employees, etc. Man "A" is like Woman "A". Man "B" is like Woman "B" Again, Man "A" will succeed. His shop will be a runaway success. His self-confidence and positive attitude is picked up by everyone he comes into contact with, customers, employees, suppliers, etc. They all want to do business with him and be in his presence. He knows that "how he does anything is how he does everything." So he does everything as effectively as possible. It doesn't take a "rocket scientist" to know what you have to do before you continue to read this report. Positive thoughts lead to positive actions which lead to positive results. You have to find out how to do this. Below is a link that might help you out. Read this free ebooks below... The Science of Getting Rich The 30 Second Happiness Miracle There is more help in ebook library or the resources section. The Internet: What you should know. The basic truth about the internet is that on any given day, there are 25,000 to 65,000 brand new people that try the internet for the very first time. From that number about half are looking to make money, or fix their financial situation. The other half is looking for other information and entertainment. Related links: World Internet Usage Statistics and Population Stats Internet Growth History - Internet Statistics What should this mean for you? It should mean OPPORTUNITY! It means there is a growing market of business opportunity seekers. Along with the "newbies" (or internet beginners), there are "old folks" (or internet veterans). Old folks also are looking to make money online, but they have battle scars and are more skeptical of things. They know what works, and what doesn't work. Some of these Old folks stay away from online business opportunities (or "Biz Opps") altogether. Knowing this, you must exploit this fact. You must seek this market out and give them what they want: Information on how to make more money. This information can take the form of a book, a report, and/or a website. The Old "Supply and Demand." You now know that there is an incredible demand for this type of product. You are actually living proof of it. You purchased this report with the intention of learning how to make more money. Next step is determining how to set up and deliver this info to Biz Opp Seekers. Basic Blue Print for Making Money with Biz Opp Seekers: 1. Find a Product to sell. If you can't write an "info product" yourself then you must find them online. The absolute best products you can sell online are ebooks and e-reports. Why? they are cheap to get and you don't have to have to carry inventory. These ebooks are then delivered instantly after payment from your website. This process is super quick with little or no seller/buyer involvement. Some of these ebooks come with unlimited resale rights and you can sell them as many times as you like. You don't need to look to far for ebooks with resale rights. The G5 Cash Program has over 50 of them. All with website templates you can use to sell them. 2. Design your sales pages. This is where it gets complicated. This might be a lot for "newbies". Below are links with valuable info. For this part you will need to learn how to write effective sales letters and how to set up simple HTML web pages. The great part about G5 Cash ebook library is that each and every ebook in the ebook library comes with a professionally designed website template and sales letter. All the hard work is done for you. All you have to do is... (#3) 3. Find a host and upload your website pages. This is quite easy. If you are an internet newbie you should try a free Yola.com website. They are easy to use and you will learn how to upload webpages. Geocities.com is a great start for anybody. You can use Geocities to sell your info products or open a homepage. It's great and it's FREE! Now, once you are ready for a serious business you should consider a paid hosting account. Get a cool domain name and a low cost account. You can get accounts as low as $5 per month and you register a domain name for as little as $10 per year. As you can see this does not take a huge investment from your part. Below is a list of recommended sites : HostGator (recommended) Ace-Host.net Ez-Web-Hosting.com StartLogic.com IXWebHosting.com You can also find more info in the ebook library or the resources section. 4. Setup Your Website to Accept Credit Cards. If you are a beginner you should try out PayPal and/or AlertPay. But if you want to be taken seriously you will want to use Clickbank (recommended or 2Checkout. You will need to learn a bit of HTML to add these to your site. Visit the links below for more info. Dave's Beginners Guide to the Internet Overall Html Tutorial HTML Code Tutrorial Introduction to HTML Dave Raggett's Introduction to HTML Tutorials on Uploading your web site by FTP 5. Promote Your Website. Here and now you will learn an internet marketing strategy that alone will help you make more money than you can possibly imagine. The first thing you should know is, the minute you start a business, any business, online or offline, you are in the "Marketing Business." If you are to become successful with your internet business you will need to become an expert marketer. Your success depends on it. So this report will now reveal a strategy that works. But before it will describe what DOESN'T work.... FFAs - Or "Free For All" links are the biggest waste of your time, ever. What's a FFA? It's a free online classifieds section that you can post your ad and millions of people are supposed to magically see it. The problem is that lots of people are posting their ads as well. Every time someone posts their ad, your ad gets one line down, and so on. Your ad ultimately gets viewed for about 10 minutes and then it's deleted from the FFA. The other problem with FFAs is that the people visiting these FFAs are people posting just like you. They are not necessarily looking for biz opps, they are looking to make money with their own biz opp. Yet another problem is the amount of people visiting these FFAs. You will not get enough of targeted traffic to view your ad. Classified Ad Boards - These don't work either. You will get similar problems as above. These definitely don't work for biz opps. You might get lucky with one or two of these boards, like USFreeads. Blasting Your Ad to Free Opt-in lists - This is a big waste of time as well. If you try out those services that say that you will have access to 10,000,000 emails, you will be greatly disappointed. Firstly, you'll find out that you have lots of work to do. You have to compile these list and use your own bulk email software. Just setting up can take days. Then after you setup you'll see that you will get about 2-3 responses per day. You will need a lot more than 2-3 responses if you want to make money with your online venture. You will need a couple hundred, and couple thousands is greatly recommended. Blasting Your Ad To Paid Opt-in and other Email lists - Just like above you will see that results are not that great. Setup is killer and most of the people that belong to these have been illegally harvested, in other words, you will have spam trouble. These lists are also very old. Another way to get into spam trouble is to send your ad unsolicited to very old emails or leads. (What is Spam? It is unsolicited email promotions. They are annoying and you wont get results, only legal hassles. More info here.) Safelists - These are yet another form of email marketing that had a great beginning but has fallen low below expectations in the last few years. The problem is something like the above but everyone that is subscribed to the safelist has agreed to receive your message, BUT you have also agreed to receive their message. Just imagine receiving several thousand emails every week with biz opp ads. Who will read them? Do YOU have the time? Do you think the other members will read your ad? Think about that one. Ezine Advertising - These work a little. Just a little. You need a top sponsor ad and you need ezines that have a large loyal following and increases at least 100 subscribers per week. If this isn't happening, then you've wasted your time and money. You must take in consideration that an ezine is viewed completely the first few issues, then the subscriber just scans the issue for any relevant topics, disregarding the ads completely. Plus you need your top sponsor ad in several ezines just to break even. This can be very expensive and there are no guarantees on the success of your ad campaign even on large subscriber ezines. Ezine Solo ads - Again, same as above. Veteran subscribers do not read solo ads. In fact, they are annoyed by them. Only new subscribers read solo ads, so the ezine must be increasing in subscribers every week. Solo ads only work if the list is a strong group of loyal subscribers, that are anxious to get the next email. Banner Ad campaigns - Don't work. Some people say they do some say they don't. I'll tell you that you need a lot of impressions to make a "good impression" We're talking about 5 million to start with. This is really expensive. At a $1 CMP (cost per thousand) that's $5,000. This will guarantee aprox. 20,000 hits. It's pretty good if you have $5000 hanging around. The minimum run for professional banner ad networks is $1,000. You could probably get other networks that work for less money but these will not be the best networks. If you decide to go with CPC (or cost per click) your results will increase but get ready to spend $0.20 and up per click or visitor. Also, for best results with banner ad campaigns use professional looking banners. Search Engines and Directories - Don't work. And this is why they don't work. URL submission to search engines is like throwing a basketball from one side of the court to the other and trying to make it "in" while there are a thousand other people trying to make it "in" as well in the same basket at the same time. It's ludicrous and useless. Then once you're in, you have to make sure your listing is in the top 3 or you lose. It's that simple. So if there is a submission company that can guarantee top 3 for a popular keyword or keywords in the 5 major search engines and directories, then you have a chance to get some extra hits a day. Note: All these variable must be there or you lose: Top 3; the right keywords; 5 major search engines. Again, taking all the variables plus what is mentioned before, it's riduculous to even try. Another thing is that it usually takes weeks even months to get listed. And if you are not a search engine optimization expert, forget about it! Ad swaps - Don't work. Unless you swap strategically and even then you need to swap with many other websites to get a decent number of hits. And since you need to put the other site's ad on your site/ezine, your biz will look like a classified ad section of the newspaper and no one will want to visit your site again. Ok, what works? There's only one thing you need: 100% GUARANTEED TARGETED VISITORS. Any company that can guarantee a specific number of hits in a particular time frame is a "winner.". This is crucial for any online business. You have to get results. You need guaranteed traffic. Once you have that traffic it's up to you to get the visitors in a confident buying mood. You can control everything that happens on your site, from ad copy to delivery. So that is your job; to get everything on your site working smoothly. You must now get control of your traffic. This is the key. The biz with the most targeted visitors wins. It's that simple. The Winning Strategy That Works. Below is the exact strategy that you should use with your guaranteed targeted traffic. Guaranteed traffic >> free standing ad and autoresponder >> email follow-up. Definitions... Guaranteed traffic: This can be in the form of Click-through traffic, pop-up ads, pop-under ads, paid email solo ads, and any other type of ad that guarantees a specific number of unique visitors in a specific time frame. Guaranteed click-through traffic is the best. Make sure that it is targeted for your product category and market. In your case, the ad should target people that are interested in biz opps (or business opportunities). Examples... 2MuchTraffic e-MailPaysU TrafficSolutions Google Adwords Google Search Free standing ad: This is a mini-webpage that all it has is an ad. The ad will persuade the visitor to do something. Usually it asks the visitor to click-through to your main website or the ad may ask to fill out a form to receive more details. Example: http://g5cash.com/!/make-money.php Autoresponder: This is a special software that sends out automated email messages after requesting information from an online form or special email address. It's basic and easy to set up. More details here. Email Follow-up: The email follow-up is possibly the most important part of the equation. After writing a killer sales letter and designing the perfect website, this series of emails is the key to close sales. Each email should get the visitor excited and remind them about the opportunity. The basic rule about these emails is to keep them personal and to personalize them. Personalization will go long ways. Each email should have the visitor's first name on them. Example: "Dear John," They should also have a note at the beginning or end of the email. Example: "(You are receiving this because you requested more info about the amazing G5Cash.com)" This way you will not be accused of spam. These emails should also be written as to a friend. They should be simple and to the point. No matter what anyone says, Long emails don't work! They should also describe quickly what the opportunity is about. The visitor should receive about 3-4 of these emails per week for about 2-3 weeks. More than that and it could be considered spam. These emails should also have "unsubscribe" details at the bottom of them. It's an advertising fact that before a prospect buys they must see your ad anywhere from 2-7 times. The follow up technique described above should help you close the most amount of sales. You can find examples of email letters here. More info on this subject in the ebook library or the resources section. How to Make $1000.00 in 2 Weeks. When your goals are high, you must strip down to basics. "It's all about numbers." Once you figure out how much money you need to make in one day then you can forecast and plan an effective strategy. In order to make make $1000.00 (USD) in 2 weeks you will need to make $71.43 every day for 14 days. If the product you are selling makes you a profit of $10 per sale then you will need 8 sales per day to clear $1000. ($10 x 8 = $80 x 14 days = $1120) If the product you are selling makes you a profit of $20 per sale then you will need 4 sales per day to clear $1000. ($20 x 4 = $80 x 14 days = $1120) And If the product you are selling makes you a profit of $35 per sale then you will need 3 sales per day to clear $1000. ($35 x 3 = $105 x 14 days = $1470) As you can see, all you have to do is close a specific number of sales every day for 14 days in order to make the $1000.00 in 2 weeks. Knowing this you must drive as much targeted traffic through your autoresponder so you can qualify the most people, so that you can close the maximum amount of prospects. This can be done with many different products. An in-demand info product is your best bet. if you want to bypass all the work, use the G5Cash.com Program which sells all of them in a neat and complete package. You will be paid instantly, you will receive 100% of the sale (after qualifying only 2 sales), and you will make $49.95 every sale. You will only need 2 sales a day and you will make $1398.60 in just 2 weeks. Conclusion. This report was created to help you out in starting a lucrative internet business. One that can be launched with little or no money and one that be done by almost anyone. You don't need inventory and the the profit margins are extremely high. But most important of all, it requires little time to run and you can set your own hours. You don't need to quit your job, but you can, if you run your online business effectively. Hopefully, this report has motivated you. You will find that you don't have to be a "rocket scientist" to make money on the internet. You only need courage, and the will to change your life.
