A few lucky artists make a living selling their art. But the vast majority have to work at something else to support their art practice. Artist Timmah Ball weighs up the cost/benefit quotient of the day job.
After graduating from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Creative Arts I dreamed of becoming an auteur like Miranda July. On other days it was Jane Campion or Tracey Moffatt as I meticulously folded woollen jumpers in the menswear department of David Jones, my post-uni summer job. A short stint in London via San Francisco brought me closer to the imagined lifestyle, living in cramped bed sits with other artists making experimental theatre in Whitechapel squats. But my summer savings dwindled and our obscure practice failed to attract the type of attention which brings money or cultural cred. On returning to Melbourne I spent a year in a range of casual jobs, such as a customer service role at a major arts institution where the screen gallery often felt like a museum of broken aspirations as I shared stories of rejection and unrealised potential with other invigilators. Other jobs included performing in a children's theatre company run out of a living room in Greensborough and stereotypically bleak hospitality work.
It's not surprising that I gravitated towards further study. I undertook a masters degree in urban planning, which led me to the path I'm on today: a secure well-paid government position with an arts practice chaotically squished on the side. While I don't regret this path, it has forced me to question the structures which support or prohibit an artist's career.
Instead exhaustion, self-doubt and the endless struggle to make rent pulled me in another direction. But as Melbourne becomes increasingly expensive, and arts funding fizzles, the precarious balance between survival and maintaining a creative practice seems like a luxury only the rich can afford. And while this feels depressing, I also wonder whether there is a silver lining? Combining an arts career with another profession can be liberating rather than restrictive. I am no longer the starving artist. I'm an office worker with the best of both words.
Unpaid labour and insecure working conditions dominate the arts, an industry that significantly favours those with some sort of financial backing. Writer, editor and creative producer Linh Thùy Nguyễn has spoken about the privileges and challenges of this lifestyle. She is the deputy editor of the online magazine Liminal. In this publication she repositions people of colour at the forefront of the literary arts in weekly interviews which reveal the dynamic work of Asian Australian writers and artists. She has also taken on a range of volunteer roles at the Emerging Writers Festival, The Lifted Brow, The Small Press Network, and Dumbo Feather Magazine.
While this work has fostered her professional growth, and enabled her to push new agendas, there has been negligible financial gain. A fact which limits how far she can push without experiencing significant burn-out. At a recent event we chatted openly about these challenges and the uncomfortable tension between working for free and the cultural capital this generates. As Linh commented, her unpaid work has led to broader networks and opportunities but her ability to work for free was enabled by living at home, and has resulted in other compromises.
The upper middle class among us can choose to live the starving artist lifestyle, an irony that never fails to irritate me. Writing for Artnet News in 2016 art critic Ben Davis asks, "Do you have to be rich to make it as an artist?" His article argues that "Art students are chasing a dream without understanding how the system works." The artworld is a system in which class and economic advantage play a significant role. He highlights that although most successful artists don't necessarily come from mega rich backgrounds the clear majority are middle class. He refers to a British survey that showed that 76% of the arts workers who responded had professional middle class parents.
American writer, academic and activist Yasmin Nair believes that this disenfranchises those who don't have the means to accept unpaid work, or who come from working class backgrounds. In a 2014 blog post she wrote, "The system of free writing has created a caste system, with those who can afford to work for free doing so while those who can't often giving up. As with unpaid interns, those who can afford to write for nothing inevitably make it into networks of influence which allow them to continue to actual paying gigs. But it's not their free writing and 'exposure' that got them their jobs; it's their ability to survive without having to depend on writing for a livelihood that guaranteed they could continue to write for nothing."
And considering the pressures facing professional artists and arts workers, the path of the semi-professional (or writer on the side) does have its advantages. While my economic circumstances influenced my decision to professionalise in another industry it also meant I could avoid forcing my practice into a neoliberal framework. More frequently it has allowed me to respond to complex situations with integrity, turning down paid gigs which felt ethically unsound. But as the pool of paid work is frighteningly small it is understandable that working artists or freelancers take whatever comes their way. How else are they meant to live? And I certainly wouldn't begrudge anyone who writes for the mainstream press or appears in a commercial stage production. I believe that the entire industry is rampant with dubious financial imperatives. Both high art and reality TV are tarnished with the same brush: capitalism.
An office job jeopardises your capacity to take on major projects. You are forced to limit your practice to weeknights, weekends, and a day or two a week if you're lucky enough to be able to afford to work part-time. While money is no longer an issue, stress and the pressure of managing two careers takes it toll. But as freelance writer Ellena Savage solemnly reflects in 'Boiling the Pot,' a 2016 article for The Lifted Brow, an artist's workplace "has no grounds, no union, no set working hours, wages, or, really, any way of quantifying or qualifying what work—if any work—is ever being done, which makes certain that there are no support systems nor adequate ways of addressing the injuries that this sorry state produces."
Juggling a part-time job may limit those lofty youthful dreams but it hasn't stopped me from writing and producing work on a smaller scale. And as the grip of neoliberalism tightens I'm not sure of an alternative way. Bearing this in mind, my situation begins to feel tolerable, even appealing

The concept of 'Tribes' is something that the renowned thought leader Seth Godin has written about extensively. His concept of tribes is that it is human nature to want to be part of a community of people who share common goals and values. People who are part of the dental profession are no different. Dentists have long had the opportunity to be members in various associations and societies that promote education and fellowship within the profession. The great news is that the American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM) is a tribe geared specifically for office managers and business team members. This awesome group was created to provide a forum where office managers can learn and connect with the leaders in the dental profession. Today we are were very fortunate to have Lorie Streeter, the Senior Vice President of AADOM as a special guest on the Thriving Dentist Show.
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadRunning Time 38:12
The role of an office manager in a thriving practice is absolutely critical. Lorie's dental career spans over 22 years now, 12 of which were spent as an office manager. Lorie understands the unique demands of the office manager position and perhaps most importantly she understands how the office manager can help a dental practice achieve its full potential. Lorie's role as Senior VP of AADOM is to seek out resources and companies willing to invest in your future and also to create unique education opportunities for AADOM members.

Girls Alood
Basically I've got too much time on my hands. So after we'd recorded the winner of the Underground song contest – "Going Underground" by The Jam which was obviously a very worthy winner (and can be heard at the end of Episode 12) – I somehow found myself writing lyrics for the second most popular tune "Sound of the Underground".
Didn't I have more important work to do? Shouldn't I have been writing my Edinburgh show? Did the thought of calling this post Girls Alood make me giggle like a schoolgirl? The answer to all these questions is a resounding YES! Nevertheless, Laura has graciously recorded it and we present it here now as a sort of bonus feature.
And FYI, the song she's come up with for Episode 13 is pure, unadulterated beautiful brilliance. See you on Wednesday.

Tommi Hay Boeder, 66, a 40-plus-year resident of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, died peacefully from this earthly life on Friday, Oct. 26, 2018 in Cedar Rapids.
Tommi was born on Aug. 11, 1952 to William and Alice Hay in Oregon.
She was raised in Chana and graduated from Oregon High School in the Class of 1970 and Central College, Pella, Iowa, in 1974.
Tommi had a varied, always giving, career path with Central College, Coe College, Teleconnect, and McLeod Foundation, her own business of painting and wallpapering, and as Executive Director of Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity 1996 to 2009.
Along her life's paths, Tommi came to fully see how God was (is) working through her and graduated from Eden Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri, with her master's degree in Divinity.
Tommi was finally ordained into Christian ministry by the United Church of Christ on July 8, 2018.
She served as interim pastor in Bennett, Clarence and, presently, Tipton, Iowa – all congregations which Tommi came to love, and they her.
Tommi loved the City of Cedar Rapids. She loved music, humming and singing, art and 'the arts'.
She enjoyed walking, dancing, reading and her books.
Tommi loved to laugh or, rather, snort.
Tommi loved bright fabric and colors. Her favorite sounds were the laughter of children and church bells.
Tommi loved her family, her legion of friends and good food.
And…Tommi loved God. Days before her passing, Tommi said, "I am the happiest I have ever been!"
She will forever be remembered for her way of living and loving fully.
We, remaining, are happiest that she was, and is, a part of our lives always.
Tommi is survived by her father, Bill Hay, 93, and Nancy, her stepmom and friend for nearly 52 years; sisters, Diana Dillman and Grace Hay Neie; brother, Bill Hay (Mindi); beloved nephews, Andrew (Michelle) Dillman, Nick (Gayla) Maddern, Andrew Hay; nieces, Juli (Tom) Melanson, Megan Hay; "greats," Amber Maddern, Sean Dillman and Alexander Melanson; and her circle of friends (you know who you are).
She was preceded in death by her mother, Alice Hay; grandparents, George and Sophie ('Gram') Anderson; cherished family and friends not named; and her beloved Schnauzers – Murphy, Salty, Emma, Minnow and Tug.
A celebration of Tommi's life and memorial service was held on Nov. 4 at First Congregational United Church of Christ of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Donations may be made in her name to the charities of your choice or hers: Habitat for Humanity and First Congregational UCC of Cedar Rapids.
A special thank you to all her local doctors and staff at Unity Point St. Luke's.

"I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some." 1 Corinthians 9:22 NIV
Paul's passion was winning souls to Christ. But he understood that people must be reached in different ways, so he constantly adapted his approach to them. Now apply that same principle to your life, career, or calling. Is your outlook fixed, or is it flexible? General George S. Patton, Jr. said, "Successful generals make plans to fit circumstances, but do not try to create circumstances to fit plans." When you have a clear plan for reaching your destination, there's a danger of becoming inflexible and trying to stick with it no matter what. Sometimes it's wiser to explore other options. When you're having a hard time moving forward, don't be quick to revise your dream. Revise your plan instead.
Peter Drucker said, "The question that faces the strategic decision-maker is not what his organization should do tomorrow. It is, "What do we have to do today to be ready for an uncertain tomorrow?" The best way to face the uncertainty of tomorrow is to put your full faith in God, remain flexible, and consider your options as events unfold. The Psalmist said, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord" (Psalm 37:23). Clinton Utterbach said, "The steps and the stops of a good man are ordered by the Lord." Paul's plan called for going to a certain place, "But the spirit…would not allow them to" (Acts 16:7 NIV). Instead, God opened up new territory for him elsewhere. A rigid mindset won't serve you well when you're trying to fulfill your God-given assignment. So be open, stay flexible, and learn to adapt.

Good Friday - Chilham to Canterbury - a pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral via the Great Stour River, woods, apple orchards and hop fields
Length: 20.1 km (12.5 miles)
Toughness: 4 out of 10
London St Pancras: 10-09 hrs Margate service
Arrive Ashford International: 10-47 hrs Change trains
Leave Ashford International: 11-05 hrs Canterbury West service
Arrive Chilham: 11-17 hrs
London Victoria: 09-25 hrs Canterbury West service Bromley South: 09-42 hrs
Arrive Chilham: 11-17 hrs
Canterbury West to St Pancras: 25 mins past the hour direct; 42 mins past the hour, changing at Ashford International
Canterbury East to Victoria: 09 and 47 mins past the hour
Rail ticket: buy a day return to Canterbury stations
My fellow walk poster has posted a Pewsey Circular walk for today, so for a change SWC walkers have a choice of walks on Good Friday.
Going back some years now I have sent you off on this Canterbury pilgrimage on Good Friday, although last year we tried Ely Circular, with dubious success. So it's back to Canterbury this year. Evensong in the Cathedral is at 17-30 hrs, which should leave time for tea first in Canterbury. Entrance to the Cathedral for those attending the service is free. Please note due to the various services held on Good Friday the Cathedral is closed today for sight seeing and general visiting.
Back to the walk: starting in Chilham you head for Chartham where you have the option of an early lunch at the Artichoke pub. Otherwise, following the unfortunate closure of the Chapter Arms in Chartham Hatch, your lunch options before you arrive in Canterbury are limited. With the recent closure of the Blean tavern some 9 miles into the walk, you can continue up the road to the Royal Oak pub at Blean Common, but having walked as far as Blean, it is probably best to continue into Canterbury and dine there.
During the morning you enjoy a variety of terrain - woods, farmland, apple orchards, hop fields, plus a walk beside the Great River Stour. Later, after Blean Woods, you walk through the grounds of the University of Kent, then uphill to the University itself. You pass through the university buildings and come out onto a plateau - with a magnificent view of Canterbury Cathedral down below. If you are lucky this vista might be enhanced by early bluebells on the grassy slopes above the Cathedral.
Down into the City, for those heading for the West railway station, your recommended tea stop is the Goods Shed. For those venturing deeper into the City, you are spoilt for choice for tea stops - SWC walkers seem to like Cafe Boho.
Saturday Walk option: if, like me, you have church (or maybe family) commitments on Good Friday, for many a year now I have embarked on this walk on the following day - the Saturday - which this year is 20 April. Travel - as per Good Friday - but an hour earlier, allowing for lunch late into the walk. St Pancras 9-09 hrs, Margate service, changing at Ashford International and arriving at Chilham 10-17 hrs. If anyone would like to join me I should welcome their company.
Walk Directions here: L=1.28

I will leave the "walk numbers" and "weather" fields blank, in case a Good Friday walker wishes to post a report on their walk.
My Saturday version of the walk was superb - glorious sunny weather, warm to hot with a cooling breeze. There were lambs in the fields early in the walk. In the woods between the two railway lines before the village of Chartham Hatch, there was one full-on bluebell wood just to the right of the footpath, on the hill slope - a picturesque sea of blue. By contrast, the bluebells in the woods above Canterbury Cathedral were circa 65 % out - they too should be full-on later this week.
The Blean Woods Nature Reserve is a bit of a desert and a blank when it comes to flowers and anything interesting for most of the year - but today there were lots of "wooden M's" particularly in the northern part of the woods, fully open in the sunshine. Likewise, in the woods en route to and just below the University building, there were lots more wood anemones, and patches of bluebells. The feel-good factor all day was enhanced by clumps of primroses and loads of Spring flowers - and butterflies.
The descent from the University to the City down below was as enjoyable as always. The Goods Shed market hall and restaurant next to Canterbury West railway station was busy, but I managed to find a stall to serve me a pint of beer, both refreshing after a warm day's walking - and pure nectar after a period of Lentern abstinence.
I hope the Good Friday walkers had an equally enjoyable day.

About 17 or 18 people plus one dog at Chilham. lovely sunny and hot weather, some discombobulation about lack of lunchtime pub with about 3 ? people going to the very early one in walk. one largish group ate sandwiches next to a child's outdoor play area, some reindeers and donkeys came to greet us shortly after behind an adjacent fence...what a treat, may have been an animal sanctuary or someone's private collection.. Nice countryside and orchards with blossom just starting to sprout. woodland walks where bluebells could be seen, although not at their peak yet. At least a couple of train crossings where no-one stopped, looked and listened 😱 unfortunately quite of lot of tarmac walking, tough going in the heat and also proved too much for some walkers who caught buses for the last section; Blean into Canterbury. some walkers went to evensong in the cathedral. Blean woods nature reserve was lovely and quiet with a variety of trees, you could tell it was very old woodland. walk a bit marred by a fair bit of road walking but you can't have everything! good one 😃

The Makhado Municipality dug such a massively wide grave that the undertakers had to construct a special platform (in the foreground) from which to lower the coffin. Photo supplied.
Date: 01 June 2019 By: Andries van Zyl
Viewed: 1292
The Makhado municipal cemetery in Louis Trichardt is nothing more than a complete embarrassment to the town and its people.
This has become the view of many. The cemetery has deteriorated into a state of almost complete disrepair. Not only is it overgrown, it has also become a haven for muggers and thieves literally leaving no gravestone unturned to make a quick buck. Gravestones are stolen for cash while even the plastics flowers on graves keep on disappearing. None of this, however, comes close to the nightmare that a family and their friends had to endure on 14 May.
Mr Dries Vermeulen from Tzaneen said that they were in Louis Trichardt on that day to pay their final respects to his mother. What greeted them at the gravesite was shocking. "On our arrival at the gravesite we noted that the grave was not a nine-foot grave as requested. This would have serious implications, should my dad pass away within the near future. We requested that he would be laid to rest on top of my mother," said Vermeulen.
But that was not all…
The grave had been dug so wide that the undertakers, AVBOB Makhado, had to improvise a special rig to enable them to lower the coffin into the grave. "They didn't dig a grave, they dug a swimming pool," said an irate Vermeulen.
Just over a month before, on 11 April, Vermeulen, family and friends had another funeral, that of his mother's sister. "During her funeral it was noted that the empty grave next to her was so close that we thought the walls were going to collapse … we never thought that we would be back to go and lay my own mother to rest just a month later," said Vermeulen. He added that when they returned for his mother's funeral, somebody had stolen all the plastic flowers on her sister's grave.
"We as a family were shocked to see the lack of respect shown towards the dead and their families, as well as the lack of attention given to grave preparation," said Vermeulen. He said that they noticed that graves were not even being dug in straight lines anymore. "There is no discipline whatsoever in the outlining of graves. It seems like they just dig graves without having any concern about the families who need to go and lay their relatives to rest there," said Vermeulen.
Vermeulen said he and his family felt dehumanized by the municipality's actions while battling with the loss of two loved ones. "We feel there is no more value in laying someone to rest," said Vermeulen.
But the family had to endure even more trauma.
The ground needed to fill up the grave again on the day of the funeral had, for some reason, been dumped more than 10 meters away from the grave. Vermeulen said they ended up having to borrow shovels from a nearby local business to try and fill up the massive grave. "We walked up and down, shovel by shovel, and eventually missed most of the family who were gathering at the church. At one point, the church phoned us and said that they needed to close," said Vermeulen.
That was still not the end of their ordeal…
Two days after his mother's funeral, Vermeulen said, they returned to the cemetery to make sure the municipality had completely covered the grave. "I found that cattle had walked all over her grave, which is totally unacceptable and disgraceful," said Vermeulen.
In response to Vermeulen's ordeal, Makhado municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi said that he agreed that what had transpired at the graveyard showed a total lack of respect. He confirmed that the municipality themselves are the ones who dig the graves and that this function is performed by the cemetery caretaker. "The caretaker is to be reprimanded and given further training," said Bobodi. He added that, for the umpteenth time, all their equipment at the cemetery was out or order, resulting in a backlog of maintenance.
Despite the ordeal suffered at the hands of the Makhado Municipality, Vermeulen has high regard for AVBOB. "On behalf of myself and the family, we praise AVBOB for their amazing service and respect showed to us during this difficult time," said Vermeulen.
Andries joined the Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror in April 1993 as a darkroom assistant. Within a couple of months he moved over to the production side of the newspaper and eventually doubled as a reporter. In 1995 he left the newspaper group and travelled overseas for a couple of months. In 1996, Andries rejoined the Zoutpansberger as a reporter. In August 2002, he was appointed as News Editor of the Zoutpansberger, a position he holds until today.

Russia's Gazprom Neft to export 2.7 mm tonnes of oil to Asia in 2015
Russia's Gazprom Neft, the oil arm of gas producer Gazprom, plans to ship 2.7 million tonnes of oil (54,000 barrels per day) to Asia this year, with around a third to China, company executives said.
Anatoly Cherner, deputy chief executive, also said shipments to China would be settled in the yuan currency, a practice that began last year.
Russian companies and banks, especially those under Western sanctions imposed over Moscow's role in Ukraine such as Gazprom Neft, are trying to limit transactions in U.S. dollars.
Alexander Dyukov, Gazprom Neft's chief executive officer, said the company used most of its yuan revenue for settlements with Chinese contractors.
"We are paying in yuan for machinery which we are getting from Chinese equipment producers. There may be some conversion (of yuan to other currencies) but in general yuan is being used to pay our contractors," Dyukov said.
The company, Russia's fourth biggest oil producer, started to use the yuan as a settlement currency for exports of crude oil and oil products with China last year.
Gazprom Neft's spokeswoman said pricing was still U.S. dollar-based. Gazprom Neft shipped around 1 million tonnes of oil to Asia last year, including China.

Yoshihiro Knife – An Owner Reviews The Best Knives
Last Updated Feb 2020 – Your kitchen's knives represent a great opportunity to show some personality. They're vital tools, used in preparing almost every dish (except baking, although you still have to slice apples to make a pie). Many people, myself included, will suggest that you splurge on a chef's knife you like as your first large kitchen purchase.

- In food processor, pulse cheese and jalapeno together until finely chopped. Add flour, mustard and pepper. Pulse just to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with butter the size of peas. Pour in 3 tablespoons (45 mL) of ice water. Pulse just until dough starts to hold together, adding up to 1 tbsp (15 mL) more water if dough seems dry. Shape into disc. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, 2 hours or for up to 24 hours (disc can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw in fridge before rolling).
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C).

I was persuaded to go to the Crowne Plaza Reading for a day of pampering recently by a few friends, and although I was reluctant at first I was a convert by the time I went home. I was so stressed out when I arrived, but as soon as I went to the spa I could feel my mood changing. We all had a couple of treatments and they were fab, followed by a lunch which was just as excellent. Relaxing by the pool later on, I had time to think about making a return visit to my newly discovered sanctuary. I have a feeling it won't be long before that happens!
Susan Beard, Sandhurst
When arriving at the spa, we had a little confusion as our treatment times were different to what we pre booked over the phone. However the new times were much better for us anyway. We waited a little for robes and towels, but after that the spa manager was very helpful and guided us through to the changing room. The facilities were clean throughout, although the toilet paper did run out in all of the bathrooms at one point! There could be slightly more seating but we didn't struggle as it was a quiet day. The treatments we had were lovely and relaxing and the staff were all polite and helpful.
Jessica, Reading
The spa experience at the Crowne Plaza was great, April specifically provided some stellar treatments which were a pleasure to experience.
There were pool, steam, sauna and Jacuzzi facilities available but it was a shame the Jacuzzi wasn't quite bubbling as it should.
Kim, Cardiff
- Lovely spa day
- Well looked after
- Brilliant facial and massage
Let down slightly by poor music in the treatment room
Would have been nice to have a robe / slippers provided
Alishia, Andover
Our therapist was very good at his job and he made you feel very comfortable. I had a 30 minute deep-tissue massage and my friend had a face and scalp massage, both of us loved the treatments and felt very 'revived' afterwards. Would of been nice to have some relaxing music in the treatment rooms though as could hear everything outside. Sauna and steam rooms were lovely. Pool was ok, but busy. Jacuzzi had a bit too much chlorine in it and it made our eyes sting straight away. I was told a light lunch came with our spa day, the spa receptionist was very helpful in arranging this for us. He was very busy with other customers but he came into the restaurant to help us as I hadn't received any vouchers for this. It took us 45 minutes to sort out in the end. The restaurant staff didn't seem to know what was going on and there was a lot of confusion and then they asked us what to serve us, which we thought was a little strange.

As much as I like going out on a spontaneous trip, I also like and appreciate the planned ones, thus the almost-monthly-meetings with my blogging community leads. Went to a Krispy Kreme cafe in IT Park, my colleagues and I spent a fine Saturday afternoon over donuts, coffee, and a bunch of insightful concepts and opinions for our content creators community. While waiting for the others to arrive, well, this happened just outside the cafe. Flaunted my oversized letter pattern 'DUKE' shirt from Yoins.
Yoins was established in 2014 with the simple mission to give young people the opportunity to express themselves through high quality fashion at an affordable price. In Yoins, they believe that fashion is the best way to show your individuality and uniqueness, and they do their best to make all the new fashion trends available for everybody.
Aside from this letter pattern shirt, Yoins has also let me choose some of their trendy necklaces that I would soon feature on my future outfits.
If it is still not obvious, I really like the idea of loose top and tight bottoms combo. This loose shirt is the perfect match for all my tight bottoms. I will also opt to wear this on short shorts too, for computability's sake. Lol.
That Saturday afternoon was just warm enough not make me sweat a lot and I also managed to actually face the sunlight (well, those ZeroUV sunnies helped a lot in that aspect lol). The shade of the trees outside the building was really beautiful, too.
I barely had a hard time composing my top and bottom apparels together but it was the other way around when I needed to choose between having to wear a pair of socks or not and if I do, what will I wear. Haha!
Top – Yoins | High-waisted jeans & socks – H&M | Shoes – Keds | Sunnies – ZeroUV

Most people in the network marketing industry are needing a network marketing recruiting system to help their efforts at achieving success. The only problem is, once they get such a system, they do not know how to maximize it.
So today, I will share with you the best network marketing recruiting system, and even share with you how you can make it work for yourself. If you are struggling in the network marketing industry, then this recruiting system and steps to make it work, will prove to be your most profitable business yet.
The Best Network Marketing Recruiting System
First we will explore the best network marketing recruiting system, and how it works.
The system we are referring to has no name, but is used in a company named "My Daily Choice".
The recruiting system is an automated, email follow up system, and combines every person who is on our team, into it. The reason it is so successful at getting signups, sales, customers and new affiliates, is because it uses what is called a binary pay structure. Meaning, if anyone on the team makes a sale, every person who has opted-in to the recruiting system, will be notified that they have business waiting on them if they can make a decision to join before the deadline.
Let's break down the main factors in this network marketing recruiting system, and why it is so effective at getting sales for anyone who uses it:
- Sense Of Urgency - using a sense of urgency, or fear of loss, will increase a small percentage of people to take action in order not to lose out on a deal, or benefit of a purchase. If someone is interested, but not taking action over "not being sure" about something, a sense of urgency is needed to incentive the person to make the purchase.
- Deadlines - this network marketing recruiting system also uses deadlines to increase sales for it's affiliates. Having a deadline is very helpful at getting people to take action sooner than later. Since many people will wonder off and never take action after looking into something that interested them, the deadline keeps many of these type prospects keeping an eye on the business.
- The Binary Pay Structure - using a binary pay structure, every one who becomes a new affiliate, benefits every person who became an affiliate before them. Since we all build the same team as mostly our "power leg", having just one person who is able to build, helps everyone else to create new members as well. Binary pay plans are the best for getting the most income out of the same amount of work.
- Email Follow Ups - using an automated email followup system, every person who has looked into the business or products, will be notified of all the activity that goes one. If a person has took the free tour or opted in, then every person who comes in after them is placed in a line to be sent to the "pre-enrollee". What makes this powerful, is when a new person takes action and joins, all prospects are notified that they have until Thursday at midnight to take advantage of these people joining. This usually causes an effect of more and more people getting in, as the benefit grows more and more for the next person to join.
- Superior Landing Pages - one of the most powerful pieces of this network marketing recruiting system is the superior landing pages it gives to it's affiliates. Having pages that attract people to opt-in, will only make it easier for an affiliate to get more people taking a free tour and giving the recruiting system more people to work with.
- Phone Numbers - for the experienced or aspiring network marketer, that really wants to increase their number of affiliates and customers, then they are able to call prospects and build rapport in person. The phone number option on the landing page has (optional) placed on it. Depending on the source of leads you generate, will depend on what amount of phone numbers you get. I usually get about 50% of my opt-ins with phone numbers, and have got many new affiliates from calling the leads who leave a number.
- Combined Team Results - here is where the average person gets the best advantage. Having someone like myself feeding new people into the system, will increase their amount of people as well. Having all the new people joining as affiliates and customers, will add volume to everyone's business. Plus, the more people who use the system to build with, continues helping the new people who come onto the team. No generic network marketing system will do this, and this advantage and benefit only exists in this company, and on this team.

How Can I Make It Work For Myself?
The real question when regarding any network marketing recruiting system, is what will you be able to do with it? If you are confident you can make it work, you most likely would be using it.
For many people, they have tried network marketing recruiting systems and did not get the results they had hoped for. The systems are too complicated for them to understand, or take several dollars in investing for advertising to make them work. Although most network marketing systems do work, and the success of some prove it, the majority do not ever get them to produce the results they need.
So, for the rest of this post, I will share with you why you can make this network marketing recruiting system work for you, and actually achieve the results you are looking for. So, let's get into how we duplicate our team using the best network marketing recruiting system.
The Training
Training someone to get opt-ins is a crucial part of the success with this recruiting system. Since only opt-ins are needed to get results, you will be taught the most effective way to get people to look into the system. No network marketing company trains or teaches their affiliates and reps to market and advertise effectively. But, learning how to get people taking the free tour, without getting rejection, will help you to build a team just by speaking to people online and offline.
Using Proven Templates
We use a special paid advertising site in which we give our affiliates a template to use. We have a proven template that gets several opt-ins including phone numbers. This avenue is used by those who can afford to advertise, anywhere from around $10 an ad up to $45 per ad. The larger the cost, the larger the numbers. This avenue has been the most successful one so far at getting just average network marketers, building large teams through their advertising budget. Having a duplicating process like this will increase the amount of people on your team who have success using the recruiting system. Mostly because, there is no limit to how many ads you want to place.
Genealogy Leads
We also provide just our team with a source of genealogy leads, to increase the odds of finding others who can build teams as well. This feature is ONLY AVAILABLE through our team. This gives our affiliates a lifetime of prospects, never having to worry about needing people to speak to again. The investment is only $15, and the results can be for life. This feature is not included in the company's network marketing recruiting system, so be sure to use the links in this post if you desire to have this benefit for yourself.
Social Media
The most attractive feature to most people, is using social media. Many people have had no success building a network marketing business on social media before, so why is this different? The reason is, we have templates for posts, we teach you just what to say and do to get opt-ins instead of rejection, and provide training for secrets and tips on getting the most from your social media practices. This process costs no money to get results with, and will be what most people will want to use for adding their own "pre-enrollees" to the network marketing recruiting system.
Solo Ads
Want a really fast amount of leads? This is the way to get them. Many will come with phone numbers as well if you wish to increase the amount of sales you get from each campaign. Using a good vendor through solo ads will get you new people joining on a regular basis. I have seen several signups from solo ads, and I never reached out to them due to no phone number when they took the tour. Solo ads are a good way to get that extra push for a rank advancement or bonus.
For those who know the power behind creating content, will see a lot of results with little money invested. We will teach everyone who wants to learn, how to create content, and build a strong business with it. Many people want to avoid this area, but for those who want to be the biggest players in the industry, this avenue will be for you. Just another reason the best network marketing recruiting system will help you build a more productive team.
The Overall Idea Of Using This Network Marketing Recruiting System
As you see now, there are several ways to build a team in this industry using our proven network marketing recruiting system. So I want to touch on the overall idea behind making this work.

Remember, we all are working together on this system, and the more we have helping add more people to it, the more people we all see joining our team.
A Huge Benefit To Our System's Success
In this last piece, I will explain a large reason why our network marketing recruiting system is having such great success for so many people. The largest factor in anything that is designed to sell something, is what that something being sold is.
Lately, "My Daily Choice" has released a product line called "HempWorx". This is CBD oil, and CBD based products that at this moment in time, are a huge demand. With several people everyday learning of the great health benefits that CBD has, the demand for this product is through the roof.
Adding a huge demand, to a very successful network marketing recruiting system, is like icing on the cake. My Daily Choice has other product lines such as nutrional sprays, travel memberships and cash back programs, and more lines to come. I personally promote the CBD products since they are the largest selling product line, and with such a powerful system, see several sales of the other product lines as well.
So having a product that people are attracted to, and are currently searching for, only adds to the success of this powerful, and best network marketing recruiting system in our industry today.

Pressure Buss Pipe plays down controversy over sexy 'For You' video
Pressure Buss Pipe
Reggae stinger Pressure Buss Pipe recently got a lot of flak from the Rastafarian community of elders and orthodox followers of the rasta faith in the US Virgin Islands over highly sexual images of females cavorting and dancing in sexy outfits during his latest 'For You' video.
"I was getting negative feedback from the rasta community in the US Virgin Islands about the 'For You' video saying it was overly sexual because we have a pair of sexy twins, with enhanced bodies, dancing in short shorts and tight dresses and the rastas don't like that. The faith is about upfulness, they don't like the overly sexual thing with short skirts because it goes against the principles of Rastafari. I explained to the rasta community that it wasn't a disrespectful thing of women or to the Rastafarian faith and everything was upful, so things are good now," Pressure Buss Pipe said.
Pressure Buss Pipe has been the cultural ambassador of his native US Virgin Islands for the past four years.
The artiste recently released a soca song called 'Do it And Done' on the Busspipe Records label. Given the Rastafarian backlash on his previous song, the artiste's manager Lewis Folkes took the initiative to release the song.
"I am aware of what the Rastafarian community might say, but I think this is a really good song. Pressure was experimenting and having some fun on a soca beat in the studio and the song came out of that. We loved the song, but given the recent negative feedback, Pressure didn't want to put it out, but I took a managerial position to release it because I feel it is a great song and it is doing well on the radio, and we just released a video for it that is doing well, 15,000 views in only two days," Folkes said.
Pressure Buss Pipe will be releasing a new album later this year, and he has been in the studio recording several tracks. He released his last album, 'Red Rose', in November 2016 which peaked at number eight on the Billboard Reggae album chart. This was the second entry on the chart by the US Virgin Islands native, whose given name is Delyno Brown.
The 12-track set features songs including Time Is The Master, Once Again, Lost Without You, Woman Of The Nile, and Moments.
In 2007, Pressure Buss Pipe scored a massive reggae hit worldwide with the single 'Love and Affection'.
Pressure is currently the cultural ambassador for the US Virgin Islands and recently renewed his contract with the tourist board in his role to promote the tourism product of the country which has a population of over 100,000.

#11 Justified
If you've been following this series in Romans, you are aware that the theme of this Epistle is The Righteousness of God. You are aware of the fact that it takes God's perfect righteousness to make us fit to dwell in Heaven with Him for eternity.
Jesus unequivocally demanded in His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:48 "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect." That is a human impossibility. Thank God, He has seen fit to justify us to meet His humanly impossible requirement of perfection.
How did He accomplish this? He came down to earth in the person of His Son, Jesus, to live the perfect life He required of us, die on a cross in payment of our sins and then rise from the dead three days later, proving that The Father was pleased and satisfied with His sacrifice for our sins. Because none of us can attain that perfection through our own efforts, He provided it for us through God's legal act and declaration known as Justification.
Justification is not an emotional feeling nor an experience that we seek. As sinners, we simply recognize our need of His righteousness. We hear and believe the Gospel. When we believe and personally receive this Gospel through simple faith in Him, He imputes to us; that is, He puts to our account Jesus' perfect righteousness. That's the message of II Corinthians 5:21.
When we put our faith in Christ, God no longer sees us in our sins. Rather, He sees us in the perfect righteousness of Jesus.
We've come to chapter 4 in our study of Romans where we learn that justification is not just a New Testament, Pauline doctrine. Two thousand years before Christ; Abraham, the father of the Jews, became the father (the prototype) of all who are justified by faith.
David and Justification
But before we examine Abraham and justification by faith, Paul calls our attention to David, the sweet Psalmist of Israel, in Romans 4:6-7 by quoting Psalm 32. What did David say about justification? There in Psalm 32:1-2 David, without using the word justification, describes the blessedness of this wonderful truth.
"Blessed is he
1. whose transgression is forgiven,
2. whose sin is covered.
3. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputes not iniquity,
4, and in whose spirit there is no guile or sense of deceit or guilt."
Throughout the Old Testament God required the shedding of the blood of innocent animal sacrifices for sin. All those animals pointed to the one perfect, final sacrifice for sin forever, the blood of our holy, perfect Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.
John the Baptist introduced Him to the world as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." John 1:29
Hebrews 10 goes into great detail explaining how the Lord Jesus Christ is the final, ultimate sacrifice for sin. No longer are animal sacrifices needed nor required.
Think about this! When God lifts the load and guilt of sin from our conscience, that is HUGE! I remember so well as a nine year old, the night I understood the Gospel for the first time and invited Jesus to be my Saviour. I went home with the huge load of sin lifted from my conscience and the fear of going to Hell gone forever. Though I have never been perfect since and never will be perfect until I am in Heaven, I have never in the almost seventy years since, felt that load of the guilt of sin again.
Now, as a Christian, when I find myself guilty of sin, I immediately confess it to God as sin and immediately sense the cleansing of Christ's blood and the removal of guilt. I John 1:7-10 explains this so well for us as Christians. Memorize it and live by it.
Abraham and Justification
1. Abraham, though a man of good works for the most part; was not justified by his good works, according to Romans 4:1-8.
Some of Abraham's good works include:
a. When called by God, he left Ur of the Chaldees to follow God's leading to a land God had given him, though he had never seen it. Hebrews 11:8
b. In that land God had promised him, He lived as a nomad in tents. Why? Because according to Hebrews 11:9-11 he looked for a permanent city, a permanent land, a permanent Heavenly Home built by God Himself. True, he possibly understood that the land, which would one day be known as Israel, would eventually be ruled by His Seed, the Lord Jesus. That will take place in the Millennium when Christ will rule from Jerusalem over the whole world for one thousand years. See my series on PROPHESY for more on this.
c. God promised him an innumerable seed. All through the years Abraham and Sarah had no children. Finally in their late nineties, he and his wife, Sarah, had their miracle son, Isaac; long after her normal child bearing age.
d. When his nephew, Lot's, herdsmen were quarreling with his herdsmen, Abraham gave Lot first choice of the disputed land which was his. Lot selfishly chose the best land for himself. Read the story for yourself in Genesis 13:1 & 5-13.
e. Abraham generously entertained angels Genesis 18:5-8 He generously prepared a feast for them, referring to it as "a morsel of bread". Later, in contrast, we read in Genesis 19:3 that Lot prepared what he called a feast for those angels. Actually it was just some unleavened bread.
f. Abraham prayed, pleading for the sinful city of Sodom when it was facing God's judgment. Genesis 18:23-33.
However, Abraham was not perfect before God.
1. He lied to Pharaoh about his wife not being his wife.
2. He took his wife's maid, Hagar, and had a son, Ishmael, by her in order to try to help God fulfill his promise of innumerable seed like the sands of the sea. That got Abraham into trouble. Worse than that, it has gotten the Jews, the descendants of Isaac into trouble with Ishmael's seed, the Palestinians
Running ahead of God and doing things our way, instead of seeking God's will always gets us and those we love into trouble.
The reason we are not justified by our own works is because if we offend in one point we are guilty of all. James 2:10
Furthermore, Isaiah 64:6 tells us that all our works of righteousness to try to attain God's favor are as filthy rags in God's sight.
Though he lived a life of good works and though people today live lives of good works to attempt to gain favor with God; we all fall short of God's perfect standards. God demands nothing short of perfection. None of us have it, according to Romans 4:2 Therefore we need to cast ourselves on God's mercy and accept His gift of Jesus who alone is our perfect righteousness.
2. Abraham was not justified by circumcision Rom. 4:9, 12-27
Abraham was not circumcised until he was 99 years old. And yet Abraham's righteousness was reckoned to him long before his circumcision. See Romans 4:3-12 This makes him the spiritual father of us all who trust in Christ, his promised Seed, whether we are Jews or Gentiles. Read carefully Galatians 3:1-6 to understand that circumcision does not even enter into the picture as far as our standing before God is concerned.
3. Finally, Abraham was not justified by his attempt to keep God's Law. Romans 4:13-16
This is obvious. Abraham was born in 2000 BC. God's Law given by Moses came 600 years later in 1400 BC. So Abraham could not possibly have been justified by the Law when there was no Law.
Furthermore, the Law justifies no one. It only condemn us because we've all broken it. See Romans 4:15.
When a criminal stands before a judge for breaking the Law, what good doers it do to recite all the other laws he has kept? If a man is guilt of breaking the Law, the Law will not save him. It only condemns him.
Here's the conclusion of the matter. Abraham and his children, the Jews; as well as we gentiles can only be justified before God by our faith in Christ, God's provision for our sins. He alone lived the perfect life and then shed His blood and died to pay for our sins. Such a salvation calls for humility before God as God's grace is magnified in our lives.

About Prostate Cancer
The prostate is an accessory sex gland located below the urinary bladder which touches the wall of the rectum and encircles the urethra. The urethra, carrying urine and male sperm the entire length of the penis, passes through the prostate. A healthy prostate is a small, soft walnut-sized gland. It is not a vital organ, but it is important for reproduction. Its secretion is part of the ejaculate and increases sperm viability. During ejaculation it secretes an alkaline fluid that forms part of the semen. The prostate may become enlarged in men known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The prostate usually becomes enlarged during adolescence due to exposure to the male hormone testosterone and its more potent form, dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Most of the body's cells are constantly dividing, maturing and dying in a tightly regulated process. The term "carcinoma" describes the condition of tissue where the regulation of cell growth is impaired and cells continue to divide perpetually and uncontrollably. However, unlike healthy cells, tumor cells survive much longer, and instead of dying they divide further, giving rise to new, abnormal cells. If prostate cells start to divide uncontrollably and form clusters, cancer of the prostate develops. Prostate cancer is usually indicated by the occurrence of very small tumor deposits scattered across the prostate. At this stage, the disease is curable (the recovery rate is more than 90%) using standard procedures, such as surgical removal of the prostate or radiation. The aim of these techniques is to remove or destroy any cancerous prostate cells.

Jason Bourne is the American James Bond. Where England has its well-dressed, sophisticated, always-according-to-plan 007, America can rely on its rugged, improvisational, by-any-means-necessary Bourne to get the job done. And where they differ doesn't stop at the personification of our two countries. You can also see our greatest fears in who we choose to demonise as our antagonist.
The Bourne Ultimatum capitalises on the love/hate relationship America has with its own intelligence organisations. Even before the Snowden leaks, the whole world knew the CIA, NSA, FBI, and all the other abbreviated agencies were into some shady shit. It's great seeing it acknowledged, and more, denounced and dealt with, even if only in a fictional context.
I enjoyed The Bourne Ultimatum far more than I expected to. It's not just another action film – it's sophisticated and clever as American action gets. Despite throwing myself into the deep end having not seen another entry in the series, there were a lot of "holy shit!" moments, and I imagine they would have been even greater had I the background knowledge.
It's probably not for everybody – I know plenty of people who write action films off out of principle. And The Bourne Ultimatum, as a conspiratorial thriller/action blockbuster, is not without its tropes (the found-footage-style shaky camerawork is probably its biggest offense). But these sins are so few, and the entertainment so big, it should not be written off just for having the misfortune of being an action film.

National Poetry Month is a month long poetry party celebrating poets and poetry, began in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets. The concept of NPM is to gain some attention to individual poets and poetry in general to the media, to what poetry is, and to celebrate living and dead poets.
The goals of NPM are to bring notice to the accomplishments of the American poets, expose more people to the awesomeness of reading (and watching, and performing) poetry, expose poetry to the public, make poetry more important in our education system, increase poetry sales, and encourage people of all ages to write their OWN poetry.
This week I'll be posting some poetry themed teasers and audio and video clips highlighting my favorite poets and poetry.

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika was one of many to testify at a high-stakes code of conduct hearing as Israel Folau challenged Rugby Australia's intention to tear up his lucrative contract over homophobic comments.
The devoutly religious fullback was informed last month of plans to terminate his multi-year, multi-million-dollar deal after he posted on social media that "hell awaits" gay people.
Submissions and evidence were heard behind closed doors by a three-member panel chaired by John West, an employment law expert and senior counsel.
It will decide what punishment, if any, is appropriate – ranging from a fine to a suspension, or the sack. Either way, Rugby Australia said a decision was not expected this weekend.
Arguments in the Folau case
Folau was set to argue that Rugby Australia did not include a specific social media clause in the four-year contract he signed in February and his posts were merely passages from the Bible and not directly his words.
The governing body was expected to counter that even if there was no clause, he seriously breached its broader code of conduct policy and its inclusion policy.
The player was likely to argue that rugby's "inclusion for all" should also take into account strong religious beliefs.
Verdict date: Folau's legal case expected to drag on
Legal experts said the case would almost certainly go to an appeal whichever way it went, and then potentially to the courts for a lengthy, and costly, fight that could set a precedent for how much control sporting bodies have over athletes' public pronouncements
"The Folau case may eventually involve not only RA's code of conduct but also aspects of contract law, anti-discrimination laws and employee rights under the Fair Work Act," said Carabetta.
"The case may well have a very long way to run."
Cheika's stance on the Folau saga
The controversy has overshadowed Australia's World Cup preparations, with Cheika vowing not to pick Folau again after his "disrespectful" comments.
"When you play in the gold jersey we represent everyone in Australia, everyone," Cheika said after the row exploded. "Everyone that is out there supporting us, we don't pick and choose."
But Cheika's comments are reportedly left the dressing room divided. Some players fully support Folau while others have threatened 'strike action' should the player return.
Where to now in the Folau saga
As mentioned, the case is likely to drag on now.
There's no set date for a verdict yet, but ex-Aussie international Justin Harrison predicted "some sort of transaction" to take place. Speaking on Fox Sport, he was quoted as saying:
"There's certainly going to be some sort of transaction taking place, whether it's a termination or an agreement between the parties," Harrison said.
"I think it's important to recognise that there's a fair process being commenced today and that's going to play out and we have to have faith in whatever legal system that we'll be relying on to set a precedent moving forward.
"To get some sort of social media policy in place for the collective bargaining agreement for players, because it's certainly an issue that's not going to go away.
"There's no question this is not going to be resolved quickly.
"There's too many parties that have other interests, besides just the player and the code at heart now, so unfortunately it's going to drag on longer than any of us want to see."Source.
Other Aussie media outlets report that Rugby Australia was confident that it'd win the case.

This month, ACEC Designed Wellness provided over fifty wellness champions a copy of the book "Raw Coping Power: From Stress to Thriving" as an addition to their tool-kit for helping staff manage stress and build resilience. A dozen champions also gathered together for a "book club" discussion. They shared many ways that they have been able to gradually (one step at a time) build positive coping. Here is a quick list.
- Healthy Options. Avoid the tendency to provide unhealthy food options (pizza, fatty snacks) as a way of helping employees with stress. When staff work overtime at the office, bring in healthy snacks.
- Role Model. Recognize your own stress and use tools to manage it as a healthy role model to others.
- A Relaxed Style. Help managers to express a more relaxed style in the face of stress.
- The Positive Spin. Think of stress in a more positive way. In one ACEC firm, colleagues helped new hires put a positive "spin" on the fast-paced stress by explaining how they can learn from additional work and effort.
- Pick Your Battles. Be careful to "pick your battles" when dealing with staff who have low motivation, cope poorly, or are just not ready. Keep taking little steps and people will come around when they are ready. Champions can't move mountains on their own.
- Nudge it Forward. At the same time, do your best to recognize others needs, nudge them, and offer assistance. A champion is a health coach in a way. Encourage your more motivated colleagues who have a good relationship with the "unengaged," ask them to explain stress management. When you can't directly reach those who cope poorly ask others who can "pay it forward" to them.
- Book Club. Finally, you can create your own book club and work through the many tools in "Raw Coping Power" or other ACEC Designed Wellness stress management and resilience resources with employees.
