The mission of the Helpline Center is making lives better by giving support, offering hope and creating connections all day, every day. We fulfill our mission through the following core service areas:
- 211 Community Resources
- Volunteer Services
- Child Care Resources
- Suicide and Crisis Support
- Military and Family Support
The Helpline Center, formerly known as the Volunteer & Information Center, began serving the Sioux Empire community in 1974. At that time, phones were answered by volunteers. Through the years, the agency was formalized with staff, grew to 24 hours/7 days a week service, and was the first location west of the Mississippi River to begin 211 service.
The Helpline Center serves thousands of people every year by connecting individuals to resources and support, providing child care referrals, providing local agencies volunteers, offering hope to individuals with thoughts of suicide and connecting families in need to resources for the holidays.
The Helpline Center is supported by United Way, city and county government allocations, grants, corporate donations and private donations.

Media Release
Interest rate update: 17 lenders announce rate cuts including big 4 banks
- 17 lenders announce rate cuts including all 4 major banks
- 7 lenders keep some of the Reserve Bank's 0.25 percentage point rate cut
- Borrowers should demand full rate cut!
May 7, 2015, Sydney – Comments by Michelle Hutchison, Money Expert at finder.com.au:
"So far we've seen 17 lenders announce interest rate cuts to their variable rate home loans, including all four major banks.
"Out of these lenders, seven have not passed on the Reserve Bank's full 0.25 percentage point rate cut. One of which (Westpac) passed on 0.22 percentage points while the remaining six passed on 0.20 percentage points including Bank of Melbourne, Bank of Queensland, Bank SA, Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank and St George Bank.
"It's disappointing to see these lenders not pass on the full cash rate cut to their variable home loan customers. Especially when some lenders are passing on the full cut, including some of the most competitive lenders in Australia.
"Borrowers don't have to take this hit on the chin. They can call their lender and ask for a bigger discount off their home loan rate. Find out what other lenders are offering and compare it to your home loan. If you're not happy with your lender or they won't give you a better deal, consider switching as it could end up save you thousands of dollars off your mortgage."

text: when I built my first kit I only had access to one "loaner" mag from a buddy of mine, a chinese 30rd, then after completing the kit my mags on order showed up Some Yugo's, then some probably Romanian mags. It seems the Chinese mags are slightly less deep (the lip at front trunnion to mag latch) than their European cousins. They fit just a little more snug and have gotten to be more at home the more I insert and remove them. So now for my next builds I have several to test fit, I have 3 diferent style mags for my Tantal build.....lesson learned.

The P42S20's connections are rather hit and miss. There are three HDMIs when we might have dreamed of four (though one is built to the v1.4 spec to offer an audio return channel), there's no USB input, and there's no D-Sub PC input for simple PC connectivity. But there is an SD card slot for playing back photo and video files, plus an Ethernet port for accessing potential future Freeview HD services, like, most likely, the BBC iPlayer.
There are a couple more screen specifications worth running by you before getting into how the set performs: a decent though (by today's standards) not mind-blowing claimed contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1, and a potentially more telling response time of just 0.001ms. In fact, the screen's response time is so negligible that it's clear Panasonic only even bothers quoting the figure to rub LCD's nose in it!
There are also one or two options in the onscreen menus worth running by you, namely a reasonable Vivid Colour option for boosting saturations, and a Resolution Enhancer tucked away in a distant submenu that actually proves quite handy at improving the sharpness of standard definition sources.
As hinted much earlier in this review, the P42S20's pictures feel slightly disappointing after the glories of Panasonic's G20, V20 and VT20 models. Or perhaps more tellingly, they also look a little bit like yesterday's news when compared with some of the better new LCD TVs around - especially some of the LED-lit models.
The main reason we say this is that pictures don't look that dynamic, thanks to a lack of brightness, and some slightly compressed-looking colour tones - especially when watching standard definition.
The lack of brightness makes the P42S20 a problematic option for a very bright environment, while the occasional rogue colour tones, which particularly affect reds and greens, highlight just how large an improvement the 2010 NeoPDP system has introduced over the 2009 version.
Before we get too despondent, though, it should be said that HD pictures don't suffer with nearly so many colour errors as standard definition ones. Add this to some solid if not exactly world-beating sharpness and detail levels, and you've got a TV that makes a good fist of Blu-rays and decent HD broadcasts - especially considering its pretty measly price point.
The P42S20 also delivers motion without serious judder or seemingly any blur, with the latter achievement standing in stark contrast to the sort of resolution loss with moving objects we might expect to see with a similarly affordable LCD TV.
This does seem like a sweet deal. I think you guys need a new badge for bargain products like this that aren't top of the range but offer best value for money. Trusted Reviews "Best Value" or "Bargain Alert".
An other way to look at this, is this: It's a 42" 1080p plasma screen monitor for your PC which costs £1,400 less than the 24" DreamColour LCD from HP.
Anyone want to impress their clients?
plasmas are unfortunately not recommended for pc monitors 'cause they suffer from image retention which leads to burn in after repetitive use...
as for the "milky blacks" i'd appreciate a more concrete comment like it produces 0.xxx nits black level at 1xx brightness, using the checkerboard pattern, so we know what we're talking about 'cause the vast majority of ccfl lit lcd's reach nowhere near a plasma on that and the viewing angle aspect.
@ evan
Agreed - but as a secondary monitor to demonstrate media, such as motion graphics, CAD or to colaborate on editing, surely it must be a consideration?
it sure is considering price/performane!
btw my 42U10 is way more impressive than any lcd display when showing video and mograph to clients. best display for 500 euros....(but not recommended as a monitor with the GUI loaded for hours.)
In your post you compared the big plasma to 2480 dreamcolor, a totally different kind of monitor.
If you want an accurate wide-gamut PC display then the Nec PA 241W is an excellent choice.
If you are looking for a sleek narrow bezel (1.5cm) digital signage display, made for staying on long hours and even pivoting, look for the PHILIPS 42BDL4251V or the pricier Nec P401 with PVA panel.
Double the price of the Panny, but more pro looking with the slim bezel, and versatile for moving around, rotating etc.
Still the Plasma will have a much punchier picture, faster responce for video, deeper blacks and viewing angles (very important for collaborative work, so everybody around IS able to see, and sees the same thing)

Hi all,
Just got another question for those of you who have used SW for a while.
I noticed in the portal side that the new ticket only asks for a summary and a description of the problem, but elsewhere you can enter the equipmentid, priority, who its assigned to etc.
Is there a way that I can customize the ticket interface. So if I only want them to be able to enter say, summary, description and equipmentid and not assign the job to someone?
I have had a bit of a look around, but being a newbie I haven't been able to find anything as yet.

Could you provide a screenshot of the portal when an end user is logged in?

The Baltimore Ravens added another piece to their defense, signing former Oakland Raiders safety Michael Huff to a three year-contract worth $6 million.
It's another move born of fiscal necessity for the Ravens, who waited patiently until the free-agent market stabilized and then managed to find upgrades, whether through a stroke of luck (Elvis Dumervil and the world's worst fax machine) or astute assessment. Gee, you'd think Ozzie Newsome has done this before.
Ozzie is quietly making moves
— Torrey Smith (@TorreySmithWR) March 27, 2013
Huff, a 2006 first-round pick by the Raiders, drew interest from the Dallas Cowboys, too, but their salary-cap situation has not been resolved. Although Huff's performance may have slipped a bit over the last couple years, the Ravens waited and got a player of value that they liked back in '06, when they drafted Haloti Ngata.
The Ravens may have made headlines as player after player departed, but there was a larger plan, according to the NFL Network's Albert Breer, in place all along to revamp the NFL's 20th-ranked defense. So Ray Lewis retired and Danell Ellerbe, Paul Kruger, Ed Reed, Bernard Pollard and Cary Williams left as free agents. Now, with the signings and 12 picks in a draft that has strong players up the middle, the Ravens' position suddenly doesn't look so dire for 2013.
Not saying the Ravens' strategy will be a home run. And the cap situation certainly forced some of it (Ellerbe). But there's a method to it.

Where Religion Moves Out and Jesus Moves In! (10 of 16) by Steve Wagers

Where Religion Moves Out and Jesus Moves In!
Steve Wagers
Colossians 2:16-23
1. The facts are well known. The group lived together in a large immaculate house in Rancho Santa Fe, a wealthy community in San Diego. On March 26, 1997, the bodies of 21 women and 18 men, ranging in age from 26-72, were discovered in various stages of decomposition. Several days before, they had ingested applesauce or pudding laced with barbiturates and a shot of vodka, and they had submitted to suffocation from plastic bags placed over their heads.
2. They were identically dressed in unisex black shirts, pants, and Nikes, and had purple shrouds placed across their faces. Many of the men had been castrated. Nevertheless still frustrated with their bodies, they chose to leave their "earthly containers" behind in San Diego to join aliens who would take them to the Next Level with a newly embodied life. The extraterrestrials were believed to reside in a starship traveling behind the Hale-Bopp comet. Their leader was a man named Marshall Applewhite, and the group was known as Heaven's Gate. 1
3. David Koresh was born Vernon Wayne Howell in Houston, Texas in 1959 to a 15-year old single mother. He never knew his father and was raised by his grandparents. When he was 20, Koresh turned to the Church of Seventh Day Adventists, his mother's church. But he was expelled for being a bad influence on the young people. Sometime during the next couple of years, Koresh went to Hollywood to become a rock star but nothing came of it. Instead, in 1981 he went to Waco, Texas where he joined the Branch Davidians, a religious sect which in 1935 had settled 10 miles outside of Waco.
4. By 1990 Koresh had become the leader of the Branch Davidians and legally changed his name, saying on the court document that the change was "for publicity and business purposes." He said the switch arose from his belief that he was now head of the biblical House of David. (Koresh is ...

To Be Surprised by Your Enemies, Stay Sturdy and Playful
A reflection on the emotional drain of civil conversation, and how we can reframe our thinking to see the best in each other — even those we deeply disagree with.
A lack of intimate friendships doesn't just lead to loneliness; it can negatively impact your health, too. Courtney Martin on the particular importance of meaningful relationships between men — and how it can add a few years to men's lives, to boot.
Parenting is a joy and a gift — but we should also give parents space to acknowledge the lost freedoms of youth that they miss. Courtney looks wistfully back to what life was like before her daughters, alongside the huge love and gratitude she feels for motherhood.
Can we learn to be tender even if we can't fix each other's pain? How would our world be different if men had permission to be vulnerable in public?
Inspired by the Pope's TED Talk, Courtney issues an invitation and a challenge to slow down, notice, and make room for brave tenderness.
There may not be one magic key to successful relationships. But it helps for us to share this goal: to have our partners' back, no matter what chaos life throws our way.
Creating a false division between life and work has its own pitfalls.
College rejection and acceptance letters are in the post this time of year. Our columnist drops truth on how rejection can teach us to find value in ourselves, and not in the affirmation of the decision-making process of an admissions department.
What if we learned to trust in the resilience of our relationships, and recognized the occasional necessity of butting heads with the ones we love?
The elemental closeness of a mother to her children, and to her own body.
Passing the baton. Gathering with others. Taking the long view. Lessons on persisting and persevering, even when we feel exhausted by it all.
Courtney Martin on the questions we learned to be afraid to ask, and how our quest for the answers shapes our lives moving forward.
It can feel painful to reflect on our mortality — especially the mortality of our loved ones. But maybe embracing the reality of death can help us to fear it less, and appreciate the wonder of life all the more.
Courtney offers up a fear- and judgment-free space, and draws forth the perspectives of women who don't have kids, by choice or otherwise.
Whether to have children is one of the most life-defining decisions we will make. And there is joy and meaning to be found on either path — as well as endless challenges and frustration. Courtney Martin on why the best place to turn for guidance is inward.
Anger can be a powerful motivator. But we must also remember to build something bolder on the foundation of expansive love.
Are we unconsciously selective about the causes we mobilize for? Courtney Martin asks the uncomfortable question: when do we choose to show up, and for whom?
Courtney shares the practical insight of a wise elder — on the tumultuous history we've lived through, and the work we must do to shape our future differently.
Ahead of the Women's March, Courtney Martin with a call to hit the streets and a vision of peaceful protest enlivened by joy and courageous togetherness.
There is a danger of blindness in both presuming good and ill intent in our political figures. Courtney Martin looks to the shared stories that bind us to save us from our prejudices.
A lesson on trusting on trusting our gut about the lives we're called to lead, and the unexpected ways that might manifest.
A brush with that fleeting, transcendent gratitude that only comes when we stand on the edge of losing what we treasure most.
Sometimes the refuge we need is not an escape, but a safe place to grapple with our hardest questions, and to challenge ourselves to be better.
A reflection on reimagining American identity, which may require us to break down our most basic assumptions about the society we live in in uncomfortable ways.
This moment forces us to face challenging questions about who we are as a nation, who we want to become, and how to get there.
We cast ballots for the candidates who stand for our values. But is our political instinct also a quest for identity? An exploration of the desire for belonging at the heart of our voting drive.
Real love for our nation calls us to look at ourselves, as citizens, whole. A long view on the future of a beloved and broken America, and our potential to shape it moving forward.
If you could speak to a passed friend or family member, what would you say? An exploration of the healing that can happen when we stay in relationship with the ones we love, even beyond the end of life
Donald Trump's statements about women may not represent most men, but they do point to a larger dynamic at play between the sexes. Thoughts on the performative roles of men in public, and the harm it does to women and themselves.
Like all of us, Courtney Martin wants the best for her family, and rightly so. But from education to strollers, the best is often only accessible to a certain group. She reimagines responsible parenting as embodied care for one's own, as well as for the families of strangers.
Courtney Martin on C. Nicole Mason's new memoir and turning toward what's uncomfortable to witness, and then acting on what we feel.
Some emotional wounds need closure to heal, but there are times when the best way forward is to let go. Courtney Martin on mending our deepest relationships by embracing the paradox of love and imperfection.
We bring different aspects of ourselves to each interaction, to each unique circumstance. But where do we find space to be true to ourselves? Courtney Martin on the radical, courageous act of embracing ourselves in all our flaws.
To stay curious and questioning in the modern world can be a lonely endeavor, and yet there is refuge and wisdom when we gather. Courtney Martin on restoring our moral imaginations, together.
The world as we know it is undergoing a profound transformation. Courtney Martin scrutinizes our most dearly-held defaults and finds an abundance of innovators challenging the traditional model of success.
The final days of expectation can bring surprising clarity. Courtney Martin pauses in this suspended space, and marvels at the end of the wait for new life, in all its gritty wonder.
The tension we feel at this moment in our history can be an opening for catharsis. Courtney Martin engages with perspectives in the dialogue that provide opportunities for greater understanding.
Reckoning with the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling by the police, Courtney Martin pens an impassioned missive to her white children: to understand their privilege, redistribute power, ask questions, and always to hold each other accountable.
In journalism and in life, a generous understanding of people's stories is crucial. Courtney Martin with more questions and counsel for imagining each other in all our complexity.
How do we avoid cliches and generalizations of entire groups of people? We must tell better stories and more of them by more people who deepen our understanding of the nuances rather than reducing them to a single narrative.
Blame abounds in times of crisis, but this can be a destructive endeavor. Instead, Courtney Martin advocates for emotional generosity to ourselves and each other, and for holding ourselves accountable for bringing about a better reality.
Sometimes our wildest dreams are not for ourselves, but for those we love. Courtney Martin pens a powerful message of hope for her daughters' future, and for the future of women in the world.
For Courtney Martin feminism is a living, breathing thing. But in an age of gloss and soundbites, how can the movement remain inclusive and sustain its influence?
The best ideas are often the simplest ones, but their inception is mysterious and complex. Courtney Martin on serendipity and community, rather than process, as the crucial elements of creativity.
Using a children's book on death as a scaffolding, Courtney Martin makes a case for kids teaching adults how to work through grief and death in better ways.
Entering the home stretch of her pregnancy, Courtney Martin takes a closer look at the bizarre phenomenon from which we are all brought forth into the world.
Even with years of experience, the parenting journey is one of constant learning — about a budding life, and about oneself. Courtney Martin gives thanks for the grit and grace of new motherhood.
A heated political climate can bring a blaming instinct to the fore. Courtney Martin on pointing our fingers inward instead of out, and reimagining the capacity we already have to rehabilitate the American dream.
More and more fathers-to-be are expressing hopes to have daughters. Courtney Martin explores the well-intentioned feminism behind this desire, and finds that focusing on masculinity might be even more radical.
How do we navigate the fluid dynamics of sex, gender, and identity in our children when we are drawn to the comfort of binaries? Pregnant with her second child, our columnist wonders out loud about her own inclinations and attachments while raising children.

(joined in progress)...we've just got to keep our heads straight and our focus going...make sure we have the right motive going throughout the season and throughout this whole spring. And I feel like we have a good coach, and we've really learned a lot this whole spring.
What has this spring been like for you, coming off the year you had last year?
It started off kind of slow, but the offense is different. It's a whole different offense, but once you get the plays down, you just go from there.
On his touchdown catch and Trimane Goddard's defense on the play -
I told him before the play, because he called the play out. He had seen me run the play. He said, 'Watch the slant. Watch the slant.' It was all just a joke. But I told him he was going to have to bring it harder than that. I'm not a little wide receiver.
On the offensive feel with the passing game -
I feel like once we keep practicing real hard, and going out there during the summer and practicing hard...we're going to come out and make a big impact and make a lot of big plays.
On T.J. Yates' play -
He's been looking real good throughout the whole spring. He opened a lot of eyes. I've told him when he makes a bad play, 'Don't get down on yourself; just bounce back to the next play. His confidence level is there. He just needs a little bit more consistency, but that takes a lot of plays. He didnt't take any snaps last year, so his play has stepped up a whole lot."
T.J. Yates
Do you feel like today you took a big step towards getting the starting position for next season?
Yeah...it helped a lot. But this is the first time I've been out in the field in front of the stands in a long time. It just felt good to get back into it and everything.
Did you know you would be the starting quarterback today?
Yeah. I had been running with the ones in practice for the past week, so I knew I was going to be running with the ones.
What do you think about when Mike Paulus gets here and into the mix?
It's good to have competition. The more good players you have on the team makes for better competition; and whoever the starter will be, he'll be a better player because of that.
Did you sit out a year in high school?
Yeah. I sat out my junior year to concentrate on basketball. I thought that was where my future was going to be. Then I came back my senior year to play football with my friends.
We're you the starting quarterback?
Yeah. I switched off time with another kid from my school.
Has this been an easy offense to grasp?
It's been pretty complicated, but Coach [John] Shoop makes is easy. All the film we watch...it makes it second nature really. It might sound complicated and seem tough in the film room, but the more we do it, the more it makes it more comfortable out there.
Richie Rich
On learning to protect the ball better this spring -
Oh yeah. That was real important, because you can't play if you turn the ball over, right? We hold the ball high and tight (demonstrating with a football in his hands, held firmly with his hand on one end of the ball and pressed into his armpit). If you hold it high and tight it will reduce the chance of fumbles.
On getting the start -
It was a surprise to me. I was thankful for it and everything. It was real fun being out there.
On getting an opportunity to play this year -
It feels really good. I think I have a real good opportunity of contributing this year.
Was there a time last year you questioned whether or not you would get this opportunity?
I always knew inside that I was going to get an opportunity. I just didn't know when it was going to come.
Anthony Elzy
So you're the banger?
Yeah (laughing). I've always been a physical player. I've always liked contact. I would like contact, because of my size I'm not really the juking type. Coach [Kenny] Browning knows we have a whole lot of backs out here, and he knows how to play us.
On getting reps this spring -
There were always doubts, but this was a true blessing. I can honestly say that I'm a blessed individual with all these opportunities. I will take full advantage of it and take it as far as I can.
On progress this spring -
We've made tremendous strides. Coach [Butch] Davis tells us we made tremendous strides every week. From Day One of spring practice, we were sloppy...he compiled a video from Day One until now. And we're forming up as a pretty solid team. It's going to be scary come fall. We'll have the whole summer to (improve), and I believe we're going to shock some teams.
Hilee Taylor
On Quan Sturdivant -
He's a natural linebacker. He has instincts. In years to come, he's going to be a great player. He's great now. He's been picking off plays, reading the screens well, reading the runs and the fits and all that. He and Bruce Carter...a young defensive line with Darius Powell and Darrius Massenburg, Greg Elleby -- all those guys... They have stepped up big time.
Scott Lenahan
What is T.J. Yates like in the huddle out there?
He's cool, calm and collected. I haven't seen him get really shook up at all. Granted it's a learning process and you're going to have mess-ups. But I haven't seen him get rattled at all. He's been doing a very good job of composing himself.
On blocking schemes this year -
Coach [Sam] Pittman has designed more angles to block, so it's not so much as a zone scheme as we used to have. It's much more of a pro look, where you have down blocks and pulling linemen. As a lineman, that' what you live for -- to be able to pull out and nail a cornerback and just flatten him, and spring a guy for a touchdown run.

(Purchased from Bigstock Photo)
I felt compelled to write last week's "Get over it" post to articulate a few realities about nonprofit governance that exist but aren't necessarily exciting and not always conducive to feeding the deeper motivations that drive many of us to serve. I did it so we all could move on to the meaningful work that impacts our communities and inspires us.
But even as I wrote that post, I knew that it could be used as evidence that nonprofit boards really are slackers who don't know or care about their "real" responsibilities, who are lazy and unwilling to do what "we" need them to do so "we" can succeed. That is not at all the case. It certainly is not what I intend to convey or support on this blog. I published that post and immediately felt compelled to write a counterpoint.
In the spirit of the holiday week here in the U.S., I present my "Nonprofit Board Member's Bill of Rights." The individual "rights" will be familiar to regular readers, because they're part of the larger message of my advocacy for nonprofit boards. I offer them as a collection today, as a bookend to last week's post.
The Nonprofit Board Member's Bill of Rights
We the community leaders who serve on nonprofit boards, in order to govern toward a more perfect vision of the future and a fulfilling mission that advances that vision, require an environment conducive to fulfilling the responsibilities entrusted to us. To that end, we have the inalienable right to the following:
1) A clear understanding of our responsibilities, outlined before we join the board, and clarity about why we are being asked to serve. We have the right to participation in a thoughtful recruitment process, where a governance-focused job description is presented so we can make an informed decision about accepting the invitation to serve. We also have the right to know the specific skills, knowledge, connections, etc., that make us the right fit - at this time - for the board.
2) A rich, multi-stage, user-friendly orientation process that prepares us for active participation and, ultimately, leadership on the board. The information presented in the recruitment process is only the beginning. We deserve both a thorough initial orientation (including supporting materials) after we join the board and ongoing support in the initial months of our service.
3) Ongoing access to information, stories, etc., that provide the context and data to make the best decisions possible for the agency and the community. We deserve timely, ready access to that information, in formats that are accessible to us and conducive to effective decision making.
4) Work that draws upon our strengths as community leaders. Our governance work is future-focused and impact-driven, grounded in questions of consequence. The work that we do does not waste our time. We come together to govern and lead, not wallow in management minutiae. We expect that that work will draw upon our individual strengths, expertise and skill sets. We expect to use our individual connections to broaden the base of supporters for our mission in engaging and appropriate ways.
5) Meetings that are intellectually and creatively challenging. We have the right to agendas built around questions about the future, that demand our active participation, and that give us space to reflect and create. We deserve work environments that expect us to contribute regularly, as equal members of the governance team.
6) Experiences that bring us closer to the mission we are charged with advancing. The more vividly we understand the agency's work and the lives touched, the better we are able to communicate that impact to others and the stronger our own commitment becomes. We have the right to build our knowledge, not only in formal training events but in authentic experiential learning opportunities throughout our board service.
7) Expectations that are appropriately high. We have the right to set our own high bar, drawing from our significant collective expertise. We have the right to all of the forms of support required to fulfill those expectations.
8) A strong, effective partnership with our CEO. We recognize the complementary leadership responsibilities that each brings to the table, and we collaborate to ensure that both parties receive what we need to fulfill them. We neither receive our marching orders from our chief executive nor dictate from above.
9) Recognition that is personally meaningful. We deserve regular acknowledgment that what we bring to the board is valued. We deserve acknowledgment that different people prefer that recognition in different formats, and that our individual preferences should be appropriately accommodated.
10) Respect for our contributions as community leaders. We have the right to be supported and valued, not treated as inconveniences. Your power and potential rests, in large part, on our power and potential. Respect us, support us, and we will lead in ways that bring you closer to your mission than you could ever achieve on your own.

Product: American Communications Network (ACN Inc.)
Greg Provenzano
Robert Stevanovski
Tony Cupisz
Mike Cupisz
Type: MLM/ IBO (Independent Business Owner)
Price: $499 Including Many Upsells.
Rank: Scam!
What Is ACN Inc.?
ACN Inc., an older abbreviation for The American Communications Network is a Multilevel Marketing Company, operating since 1993 as a simple reseller of long distance communication services, in the United States. However, since the dawn and inevitable growth of internet home-based opportunities, the company has:
– Changed its name American Communications Network to ACN Inc.
– And has now gone global.
Nevertheless, this is now a company that offers an international telecommunication system servicing opportunity as their primary offered product and service, while simultanously taking advantage of the un-shocking corporate MLM method approach with a more incentivized, but with a much more competitive online earning opportunity.
This following ACN Inc. review will therefore, go over in-depth what the company has to offer in regards to its products & services, the ACN compensation plan and how it works, followed by the overall legitimacy of ACN.
How Does ACN Inc. Work?
As stated the ACN company utilizes an MLM online marketing approach.
By doing so, they offer a potential earning opportunity to people whose interests become geared towards the specific products and services they have to offer on-top of the potential "lucrative" compensation structure.
ACN therefore, is a company that like many other, work through its own network of Independent Business Owner's.
These are who you would call the company's "Distributors" or "Representatives," and is a company that will easily accept and allow anyone willing, to get involved.
In-fact, I'm sure ACN would greatly insist on you joining. The more members ACN has, the greater the likelihood more people will be recruited from each new enjoined member, resulting in an increase in sales, profit, and income.
How Much It Costs To Become An ACN IBO Member?
Joining ACN's opportunity is in no way cheap or even comparable in regards to most other IBO opportunities based online.
In-fact this may happen to be one of the most online expensive distributing opportunities I've yet to come across, primarily as a result of its ongoing use of upsells..
ACN Membership Costs:
Team Trainer Fee: $499
With an Additional: $149 Annual Renewel Fee
ACN Business Assistant: $39.99/monthly fee (Optional. Not required)
Weekly Meeting Training Event: $10 Fee (Optional/Not Required)
Additional ACN Training Fee's: $159 Not Including Additional Travel Expenses. (Optional/Not Required)
How ACN Multi-Level Marketing Works?
Every time a new ACN IBO joins into the company, they are given the opportunity, and incentived approach, to earn what they like to call in todays swing of things in MLM, as a "Passive Income."
By recruiting, leading, and training your own successful ACN team, you are offered the leveraged ability to continually earn, off of the work of your members, referrals, and recruits – that is better known as your MLM Downline and ACN Team.
What Products and Services Are Offered By ACN?
Given the company title "American Communications Network," it makes sense that the company would be offering products highly relative to todays technological market, which would include products such as:
– Internet Servicing.
– T.V. & Cable (Including Sattelite TV)
– Digital Phone Service (Local & Long Distance)
– Mobile Wireless Services (Now Including Smartphone Apps.)
– Other Telecommunication Systems.
– ACN Technical Support
In addition to these products, ACN Inc. also offers services relative to:
– Landline Telephones – Ex: VoIP – "Voice over Internet Protocol"
– Energy – Ex: Gas & Electricity Services For Residential/Commercial Properties.
– ACN Security & Automation
How Does An ACN Inc. IBO Benefit Financially?
Say you were to become an Independent Business Owner/Distributor for ACN Inc., one of the major things you likely landed on this review for is to better understand the types of major benefits and advantages you'd be receiving.
Given the fact ACN is fully dependant upon an MLM Downline structure, the opportunity therefore, becomes much less emphasized upon one's own knowledge and interest in the telecommunication services area, and much more on your "Independent" ability to consistently recruit one member after the other.
Even when that's done, you must be able to effectively keep in touch with your team daily, and teach them as any sponsor would, how they too can start to recruit members consistently into ACN.
By simply recruiting members into ACN who can't fulfill the obligitory needs in order for you to reach an increase in annual salary and income, they become useless in a sense, as your "passive income" and earnings now become almost completely dependent upon their working ability.
ACN Commission, Bonus, & Earning Structure:
As a result, ACN's top-earners and team distributors just so happen to be a result of their ability to drive new readily and willing individuals looking to start their own personal home-based business.
Moreover, in order to really succeed in the business of ACN Inc., your entire income, any potential benefits, bonuses, and additional incentives, ALL are 100% reliant upon your ability to recruit and train… Even if and when you find yourself able to sell such products in the world of retail, the real earning compensation plan comes from the very made sales of your downline.
Is ACN an MLM Scam?
Many seem to lean towards that verdict very quickly, especially its own recruits, and it becomes easy to see why.
However, before jumping to such a claim it's in my opinion, vital to see what other than a simple failure to earn or have lost money by joining ACN, before jumping to any conclusion.
1) Use of intentionally misleading statements to get new recruits into the company.
This has been proven to be one of the main primary ACN complaints. It is also one I've come to fully agree with.
Reason: ACN has no intention on disclosing the type of yearly salary you could be making when joining into this business. Therefore, going in blindfold, while investing so much money into a product is simply ludicrous.
2) Failure in receiving compensation earnings!
That's huge! If ACN can't payout some meager earnings to its own IBO's how can they expect to keep running at full occupation. Consumer complains show and reason that as an ACN IBO, one must be able to maintain a minimum number of personal customer points, otherwise you don't qualify for any earnings you could have made.
Meaning no commissions on any sales no matter what!
To be more specific, your ACN personal commissions and compensation is dependent upong your "Customer Points," as shown directly to your right.
Therefore, in order to receive even just a measly 10% off of one direct sale, though they are made monthly, you must have over and above 60+ Customer Points (which, goes back to your ability to consistently "Recruit & Train ACN Members")
3) On October 10th, 2014, A class action complaint against ACN had been filed in North Carolina.
To summize the reason for this, this was a law suit class action that bears upon ACN's highly deceived and misleading conception regarding the rates of their products as being non-competitive in price and had no relevancy to any prevailing market conditions. The consequence of this ACN scheme has proven to scam millions of dollars in unnecessary charges made for electricity and gas.
This alone, greatly enforces every reason in the world to not listen nor trust ACN, most-especially as a high-paying IBO member!
Some Proven Actual ACN Income Claims:
– Less than .01% of ACN Independent Business Owners actually end up recovering their initial registration investment.
– USA/Canada: There is no guarantee of success as an ACN IBO and is all dependent upon your individual ability. In Canada, the average ACN active IBO earned no more than $500 in 2010.
My ACN Opportunity Overview:
Given all the illegal accusations involved with ACN, especially by political government and policies, I sincerely advise you avoiding this opportunity at all costs. Their downline and compensation plans alone seem to be very schemish in nature, through the use of a 7+ level compensation plan, but is only able to be maximized by level five, thus scamming any new ACN recruit or IBO out of additional sale compensations.
This is an additional feature I purposely left out of this review as it gets into the very complexities of ACN's own compensation structure, which I found to be not legitimate whatsoever.
The point is, you and you're team of referrals and IBO's are ineffectively limited to both the compensation you are eligible to earn, while also limiting the consumer markets of products and services you can be selling!
This is merely done in order as a tactic to make you pay more and additional amount of application IBO fee's to ACN – an extremely unfair advantage point from your side of the bargain.
A Better ACN Inc. Scam Alternative?
Forget ACN, forget Multilevel Marketing, and forget becoming an Independent Business Owner, in which this ACN review has proven to be taking advantage of its very own Rep.'s I personally have been in the situation of feeling as though both myself and chance at an opportunity were both put in jeopardy and taken great advantage of.
It can be frightful knowing that your very own earnings which you work so incredibly hard for, can get snatched from you, such as in the case of ACN's own income-earning opportunity.
Therefore, I can't recommend enough checking out My #1 Recommended Opportunity, one that allows you to own, run, and continually earn from your own online business… Not as a seller for some company or some uncared for type of representative, but on the contrary. One that takes care of you from start to finish without all these highly unnecessary upsells and expensive starting costs.
You can get started for free with My #1 Recommendation, one reason why I've yet to receive a single complaint, and is why I know the end to your search for a legitimate online opportunity can now come to an end – Think about it! :)
Thanks For Reading.

The College of Public Service Mentors understand that it can be difficult to find balance between work, home, and school. Mentors are here to encourage new students, and to help them maintain focus on their academic goals. If you are a Kaplan University College of Public Service student and would like more information about the mentoring program, please contact your Education Advisor.
Why did you become a mentor?
I became a mentor because I knew I would love the experience
of helping a fellow classmate who was struggling to reach his or her goals.
Knowing that I have helped a number of students and have many former mentees who
still reach out to me from time to time lets me know that I am making a difference.
What do you think is the most important part of mentoring?
Letting people know that you have their back and that you
will do whatever you can to help them. This experience only helps to boost my
belief that I have made the correct choice in the career
field I am entering.
One positive experience as a mentor that I would like to share...
I have a former mentee who had a very hard time just getting
her work in on time and she would ask for my help with her homework almost daily.
I was able to get her to set up a schedule for work, family, free time, and
school. In addition, I got her to stop over thinking everything. She has been
able to do well and no longer needs assistance through the mentor program.
However, she did ask to remain in contact with me in case she needed assistance
at a later date. Not only do I continue to "mentor" her, we have
become friends not only in school but through social media as well.
Why did you become a mentor?
I became a mentor because I enjoy seeing adults achieve
goals in life. I had a positive support system growing up and when I started
working at a preschool, I was the support system to the teacher. I learned that
teachers have a great helmet to wear—they educate, nurture, and love our
children. That's why I became a mentor for online students at Kaplan University.
As I stated earlier, I believe that everyone needs a
positive support group. I have worked in preschool for over 16 years and one of my roles was to train and
mentor new hires. This position gave me the opportunity to learn about their
goals in this industry and how I can expand their goals in the field and in
life. I am a positive person and despite what obstacles we face in life, we
always need to hear a positive word at the end of the day. This is what I have
come to do.
When I worked for the Learning Care group, I was hired as an
assistant director. Later on the title of mentor was added to my work load.
This position gave me the opportunity to meet new staff, talk about our
company, learn about individual staff member goals and develop a positive
working relationship. The staff members who were under my tutelage are still
employed by the company and we stay in contact. I am not working with the
company, but I still send encouraging words to these employees whose positions
range from teachers to managers. It is gratifying to hear from my past staff
and know that they take their position seriously and are still growing. In
fact, some of the staff have returned to college to further their education—even
some with Kaplan University. I am proud.
With my years of working in the criminal justice field I
have found the willingness to help others succeed in any way that I may. This
is an opportunity to give back to Kaplan University to help new students who might
be nervous in starting their college career. When I began college I was nervous
and didn't really have anyone to turn to for basic questions on resources for
academic support. My career goal is to one day become an instructor in a
college setting, and I think it is important to build a foundation of student
interaction and support for students needing help and guidance. This is a
positive way to provide support to students because questions are posed to
another student rather than an instructor.
The most important part of the mentoring program is to have
an open line of communication and a good relationship between both parties. Without
a good relationship, solid and helpful questions may not be asked to the
mentor. The mentor program can also guide the student to proper resources
related to their educational goals. For instance, if a student needs help with
writing, the mentor can guide him or her to the Writing Center for assistance
or even a paper review. The important factor is that the mentor wants the
student to succeed not only their first term but through their educational

Recently I did blood test.. I found that hemoglobin is 17.7 ... Which diagnoses that I am having polycythemia... So is it necessary to visit specialist?? And if so then to which specialist? Lastly what could be the reason for this polycythemia

Hello, Polycythemia vera is a rare condition usually affecting men in their 60s. The condition is rarely seen in people under age 40. Although the cause of polycythemia vera is unknown, a number of factors are involved that appear to lead to secondary polycythemia. A high content of red blood cells builds up in response to low oxygen concentration in the air. The bone marrow can also be overstimulated by testosterone replacement therapy. Living for long periods at high altitudes where there's less oxygen may lead to polycythemia. It also may occur in people with chronic lung conditions and certain kidney tumours and cysts. Heavy smoking is associated with an increase in carbon monoxide in the blood and may also lead to higher red cell and hemoglobin levels. Low blood oxygen levels (hypoxia) due to congenital heart disease also appear to be a factor in the development of polycythemia.. Athletes, person going to gym, or involved in any heavy physical activities will be having high hemoglobin. Please consult a general physician first to rule out simple causes and to get some blood tests.

Stephen Harper is urging Russia to stop thwarting international efforts to slap sanctions on Bashar al-Assad's "murderous" regime in Syria.
The Prime Minister targeted Moscow with public remarks Wednesday, calling on Russia to climb on board international efforts to impose binding sanctions on the Assad regime.
Russia, a stalwart ally of Damascus, has used its permanent seat on the UN Security Council to block measures such as global economic sanctions on Syria. Canada is working as part of a co-ordinated diplomatic offensive, led by the United States, that's aimed at pressuring Moscow into relenting.
"We encourage Russia and others to join with us to apply binding sanctions against what is a murderous regime," Mr. Harper told the Commons. "This is unacceptable to Canadians and I believe the broader international community."
Mr. Harper didn't name additional countries but his use of the word "others" appears to be a reference to China which also has a permanent seat on the Security Council and has stood with Syria.
Canada's efforts come as Mr. al-Assad's bloody crackdown on a 15-month-old uprising morphs into full-blown civil war.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this week accused Russia of supplying Syria with helicopter gunships that could be used against civilians. On Wednesday, however, Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov denied the charge.
The Financial Times quoted him as saying Moscow was merely "completing contracts that were signed and paid for a long time ago. All of them are contracts for what are solely air-defence systems."
Mr. Harper's comments Wednesday followed a question from NDP Leader Tom Mulcair.
"We have all witnessed the horrors in Syria, where innocent children are now being targeted by the Assad regime. Canadians feel the pain of the Syrian people," the NDP Leader said.Report Typo/Error

All involved stoutly denied it was a distraction, which is, naturally, distracting in itself.
It can now be said with finality that Montreal Alouettes' coach Marc Trestman's contract status is no longer an issue and won't be until 2016 or thereabouts.
With most of his family and several senior players in attendance, the 56-year-old Trestman, who should become the franchise's all-time winningest coach later this season in just his fifth year in charge, announced he has put pen to paper on a four-year extension that kicks in next season.
"It was an easy decision, I love Montreal, I love being here . . . now we can just put it behind us, and move forward without distracting our football team," said Trestman, who has been the subject of as many rumours as there are coaching vacancies in the NFL and big-time NCAA football factories.
Though he now has a lengthy extension in hand, his immediate boss doesn't think the speculation will die down when it comes to Trestman's job prospects in his native U.S.
"If you think rumours are going to stop . . . don't kid yourself, that kind of stuff's not going away just because there's a contract," said general-manager Jim Popp, whose friendship with Trestman stretches back two decades, when Popp's father Joe and Trestman both coached in the Cleveland Browns organization. "When you win, people look for those folks to come to their team."
It's little wonder that Trestman, known above all as a passing game and quarterback guru, is constantly linked with greener pastures.
Trestman led the Als to three straight Grey Cup appearances, winning two, his 53-26 record is five wins shy of Don Matthews' 58, which trails only Douglas Walker, who coached the team in the 1950s and chalked up 59.
While an NFL or Division I head coach's paycheque is a wonderful thing, so is a gig that allows Trestman to spend the bulk of the year with his family in North Carolina - he regularly travels home on off-days and is in Montreal between June and November.
It's a somewhat unconventional arrangement, but one that suits both the team and the coach, who is candid about the allure of that aspect.
"His staff comes to him in the off-season, that could happen in any league if an owner allowed it," said Popp.
Quarterback Anthony Calvillo, a surefire Hall-of-Famer who has shattered several CFL and pro football milestones since Trestman arrived, was unabashed in admitting the coach has extended his career.
"He's extend a lot of people's careers, to be honest with you. The difference between winning and losing is coaches. We've had great talent here, we've won at times here, but he's the one who put us over that hump, getting two more championships under his leadership," the 40-year-old Calvillo said. "There's a lot of great players in this league, and when it's all even it comes down to coaching."
Trestman, conversely, said his success is due in large part to his relationship with Popp, owner Robert Wetenhall, and was especially effusive about the ageless Calvillo.
"Bud Grant taught me . . . if you want to be a successful coach you need a patient wife, a loyal dog, and a great quarterback. Not necessarily in that order," he said.
Wetenhall, who also made the trip for the announcement, recalled the impression that Trestman made in early 2008 as the team scoured the coaching ranks for a successor to Popp, who replaced the deposed Matthews.
"He's an extraordinary human being, a great friend and a great coach, and I want him to stay here," Wetenhall said.
Before last season there were strong rumours linking Trestman to his alma mater, the University of Miami, and that Wetenhall had indicated he intended for his coach to honour his CFL contract in its entirety.
Asked by a reporter whether it would advisable to speculate on whether Trestman has an escape clause, Wetenhall said "I would never discuss someone's personal service agreement . . . I wouldn't go near there."Report Typo/Error

Love Power (3 of 14) by Keith Krell

John 13:31-38
I am an avid reader, and I really enjoy buying books. In fact, book buying may be my greatest addiction. I'm especially prone to buying books online. I frequently buy cheap used books on Amazon marketplace. When I am done reading these books, I sell them back to earn money to maintain my addiction. However, this past week, instead of buying any books, I did a little research on book titles. Here's what I discovered: Amazon.com lists 507,878 book titles about heaven, 547,195 about sex, 766,921 about God, and 884,737 about money. Isn't this astounding? Even more staggering is the fact that one topic beats out all of these—love. There are 922,816 that contain love in their title.
Love is a popular word in our society. Our world is desperately seeking true love. There are all kinds of dating services, escort services, personal classifieds, bars, clubs, and social organizations. There are illicit websites and chat rooms where you can pursue love without leaving your own home. All of these opportunities promise "true love" or "real love." But this is an example of the classic country song by Johnny Lee, "Looking for love in all the wrong places...looking for love in too many faces." I'll stop there. The point is: Our world craves love, but they can't find fulfilling and lasting love.
Love is also a frequent word in the Bible. The Bible uses the root word "love" over 500 times from Genesis through Revelation. Interestingly, for our purposes, the word love is used only twelve times in John 1-12, but in John 13-21 it is used forty-five times! Hence, in the last twenty-four hours of his life, Jesus uses the word love repeatedly. The closer He travels toward the cross, the more love is on His heart and mind. In John 13:31-38, Jesus suggests that the key to impacting the world is for Christians to love each other. So why is the church having so little impact on society? We're ...

Photos: Get look at historic Halfway Rock Light
Ever wanted to own your own Maine lighthouse? The government has put a lighthouse 10 miles east of Portland in Casco Bay up for auction.
Halfway Rock Light Station gets its name because it is halfway between Cape Elizabeth and Cape Small in Phippsburg.
On Thursday, the Coast Guard took registered auction bidders on a tour of the lighthouse, and WMTW News 8 reporter Paul Merrill joined the trip.
Getting to Halfway Rock is a challenge. Bidders had to use a skiff to land on the rocky shore because there is no dock.
Bids for Halfway Rock are up to $58,000.
The winning bidder for the lighthouse will have to work with government agencies to keep it running.
The Coast Guard maintains the foghorn that blasts every 30 seconds, and the light that burns a constant red.
A person can see for miles from near the top of the lighthouse.
While the view is spectacular, the winning bidder is going to have a lot of work to do on the structure, with peeling paint and rusting metal.
The auction ends Tuesday, though the government will extend the deadline if bidding picks up.

Seductive Death
A little siren song I wrote for school...
Seductive Death
Hidden behind the waves,
Strewn across the rocks,
Lay skulls bound for days,
As the silent moon locks.
Locks her deepening gaze upon you,
Locks her weeping gaze upon you.
We search for our sister,
We call to her,
From afar, you see our beauty,
You hear our hypnotic song,
Lure you to us we do, cruelly,
If you listen, death is near, life isn't long.
Men we devour,
None slip our grasp,
Few have time to run and cower,
Fore, we've taken their final gasp.
Voice and sight alike, deal destruction and death.
Gifts to Hell, we send her,
There in the deepest of deep,
Blackest pit, as black as our hearts,
Unlovable as death, she awaits,
Persephone, for more helpless—hopeless
None can compare to our beauty and might,
Once you've tasted our breath,
You won't see another glorious night,
Among the bound skulls you'll stay,
Another fallen victim of… SEDUCTIVE DEATH.

Having a strong brand helps a business to attract the right customers. It takes multiple encounters with a product or service before people buy, and having a strong and consistent brand helps people to connect with and remember you. A brand strategy is a tool that helps you to accomplish a strong and consistent brand.
Many new business owners think of brand and branding in terms of a logo. Your logo in fact is part of your company's visual identity, but before you design your logo there are more fundamental aspects of your brand, such as your mission, positioning, values, personality and more. A strategy clearly defines these and other primary elements in order to guide such key decisions as what to name your company, whom to hire, what your logo should look like, where to market and advertise, and even how to conduct your business.
Elements of a Brand
Different experts outline different elements that they define in creating a brand strategy. Those elements may include:
Vision: The overall big-picture idea for what the brand is trying to accomplish in the world
Mission: What the brand is dedicated to doing in order to fulfill the vision
Audience: The various groups of constituents the brand will speak to
Positioning: How the brand differs from the competition
Personality: Adjectives used to describe the brand
Values: A set of values that your brand represents
Benefits: What customers get from the brand
Objectives/goals: What the product, service or company plans to achieve with the brand, and by when.
Do You Need a Brand Strategy?
Defining these terms for your brand can take time, one thing many entrepreneurs and small business owners are short on. This leaves many small business owners to skip creating a brand strategy altogether. Others create a brand strategy as they go along, drawing their mission clearer into picture with each business and marketing mistake they make. There is something to be said for this approach as well, especially as product development becomes more of an iterative process.
If you are a new business, taking the time to create a brand strategy can save you from making business and marketing decisions that don't make sense. In the long run, having a brand strategy can save you time and money by helping you to avoid mistakes. Having a strong brand strategy also can save time down the line as you are more easily able to communicate to designers and copywriters what your brand is about, so that they can go about creating your marketing materials in a focused way.
As a busy business owner you may decide to spend some time defining these elements. Some time spent considering these things is better than no time. If you do create a brand strategy, put parameters around it, decide when you want to have it done by. It can take months, or you can decide to keep it to two weeks. Part of managing the time involved is recognizing that a brand strategy is a living document, it is never perfected. It will continually develop as your business develops. If you only have a little time, I would suggest starting with clearly defining your audience, goals, positioning and benefits, as these elements are essential to effectively selling your product or service. When you have more time, you can also define your vision, mission, values and personality. Clearly defining these elements will give your brand that special spark that people connect with.

It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Heater Hose to repair your car or truck. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles in today's marketplace. When your Saturn L300 rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values trustworthy transportation in their automobile. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Saturn vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to fix your automobile.
The technology to heat the passenger compartment of an automobile came long before one was invented. The engine of your Saturn L300 circulates liquid coolant throughout the block to absorb heat, and transfers it through heater hoses to the heater core so you can warm up the passenger compartment. Saturn L300 heater hoses help cool the engine by supplying an alternative path for hot coolant to travel. The return heater hose re-introduces the coolant to the engine after it has heated the heater core so it can go back to the radiator.
Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Procuring new Saturn parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement L300 parts on the internet.
