People Helping People PHP Agency, LLC People Helping People, PHP, PHP Agency Watch out for these guys! Woodland Hills, California
This company called People Helping People is in the insurance business. Their business is all about recruiting and selling products to the people they recruit.
It is run by a guy named Patrick BetDavid. He is the head chief of the company.
If you have been approached by this company, be aware they are not offering you a job. Anyone leading you to think it's a job is not telling the truth.
You are being offered a career as an insurance sales person. The fee to "join" the company, even though they say you are being interviewed, is $275.00. Be ready to also get a policy for yourself, otherwise they won't work with you.
You also need to give up all your personal contacts, otherwise, they won't work with you.
People are starting to leave the company. One of their big players in the company went back to World Financial Group, where he came from.
It appears to be a good company, other than the fact, they are not up front with you about what it will take to be successful with them.
You should be aware that most of the agents don't understand what they are selling.
Everyone over there is hoping for the big payday! They have been told they get "ownership" if they work hard for 3 years.
They are trying to be another Primerica.

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Feb. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. ("ACT"; OTC Bulletin Board: ACTC), a leader in the field of regenerative medicine, announced today that it has been issued a patent on its "single-blastomere" technique. Patent Number 7,893,315 broadly covers ACT's proprietary single-blastomere technology that provides a non-destructive alternative for deriving human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines.
"Of the more than 150 patents and patent applications related to stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine that ACT owns or licenses, this patent on our single-blastomere technology is one of the most significant," stated Gary Rabin, ACT's interim chairman and CEO. "It will help us accelerate our progress on a number of fronts, including deriving embryonic stem cells which meet the regulatory standards of the European Medicines Agency and the US Food and Drug Administration, using the single-blastomere technology. We are currently developing a collaboration for creating banks of these cells using our proprietary technique with the United Kingdom's Roslin Cells. This is an example of the type of potentially revenue-generating future partnership that we think this IP (intellectual property) protection could help facilitate."
The single-blastomere technology uses a one-cell biopsy approach similar to pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which is widely used in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process and does not interfere with the embryo's developmental potential. The stem cells generated using this approach are healthy, completely normal, and differentiate into all the cell types of the human body, including insulin-producing cells, blood cells, beating heart cells, cartilage, and other cell types of therapeutic importance. The safety record for one-cell biopsy as part of PGD now has a 1

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Mike Swensen, the executive director for USA ALL, a land use advocate group involving off road enthusiasts, told the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce members at their monthly luncheon on Thursday that many of the things that are being said about House Bill 148, which was passed by the Utah State Legislature in 2011, are just not right.
"They are myths," said Swensen. "They are just not true."
The bill was sponsored by State Senator Karl Ivory during that session. Its purpose is to seek the turnover of most of the federal lands in Utah to the state's control. The deadline for doing so, according to the bill's parameters is Dec. 31, 2014. However, Swensen said that the fight will be long and hard, and land use advocates may not win the battle.
"I go to Washington D.C. and present the USA ALL point of view to those in Congress often," he said. "Things move slowly there though."
HB 148's provisions are controversial, as Utah tries along with a number of other western states to free itself from what they feel is the yoke of the federal government. Proponents say that the national government should have given the land to the states within only a few years of statehood based on a clause called the Enabling Act.
"We have done a lot of research on this and this isn't something new the states nor the federal government have just come up with," he said. "There are government documents going back to the 1850s relating to the Enabling Act. There has been a lot of debate about it over the years."
Swensen said that the act has been used to local governments advantage in a number of states in the past, but after the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 was passed by Congress things changed.
"However, there have been federal lands turned over to states as late as 2009," he stated.
The bill is based on the idea that not only should the states have control of the land in their jurisdictions, but that they could manage those lands better than many of the federal agencies presently do.
"Last year there were terrible forest fires in New Mexico on federal land," said Swensen speaking about the poor management the federal government had provided there. "They couldn't control those fires and then they reached tribal lands and poof the fires were stopped."
Most of the land under control of the federal government lies in western states. Within Utah 67 percent of the land is federal. In Nevada it is over 85 percent. Nationally, the national government has control of 30 percent of the acres in the country.
Swensen said that a lot of what people are thinking about HB 148 is wrong.
"The Salt Lake media has been very negative about this bill," he said. "The local media out in the rural areas has been more fair about what it will and won't do."
Swensen listed a number of things that are being said and then provided reasons as to why they are in his estimation, myths.
If Utah gets control of the land, much of it will be sold. Swensen said under the Enabling Act 95 percent of any money that comes in on any land sold after the state took jurisdiction would have to go to the federal government. The other 5 percent would be given to the permanent school fund in the state.
"There might be cases where transactions would take place," he said. "Take St. George for example. It is surrounded by federal land, and if it wants to expand they may need more land. But I can't see any viable reason the state would want to sell off all the land."
Property values would decrease. Swensen said if the state was not selling off the land, which they would not, he could not see how this could happen.
Hunting, grazing and other access will be reduced. Swensen stated that agriculture is a big deal in Utah and he thought that the state would be more amenable to farm and ranch needs.
"Besides I would rather deal with the Utah Department of Agriculture on policy than many of the federal agencies." he said.
The Utah legislature will exploit all the resources at the expense of the environment. Swensen pointed out that Utahns love their outdoors and that same feeling permeates the legislative bodies.
"Besides I don't think the people of this state would let that happen," he said. "Citizens can work with the legislators and local officials. These officials are closer to us and we would have much more of a voice as to what would happen than we do with the federal agencies."
The legislative attorneys found that the bill was likely to be unconstitutional. Swensen admitted that they had, but he also said there are a lot of politics in their relationship with the legislature as well. He also said he could find many attorneys (including the state Attorney General's office) that said it is constitutional.
Utah can't afford to manage the land. Swensen said that if the state could keep all the severance money that is presently leaving the state and going to the federal government from energy production, the state would have more than enough money to manage the lands.
"And there would probably be a lot more because the federal government wouldn't be holding mineral and energy development back," he stated.
In our Enabling Act we (Utah) gave up the right and title to all unappropriated public land. Swensen put the Enabling Act provisions up on the screen in front of the chamber members in attendance and pointed out that the Act actually does just the opposite. He said, instead, it actually gives the land to the state.
Swensen also listed a number of things that would be better if the state managed the land. He pointed out again that Utahn's love the outdoors and that enviromental protection would be a priority. The use of the land would produce jobs and improve the economy, money from their use could be used for public education and that rural communities would benefit the most. He added that it would provide for better national security because states would allow development of resources instead of relying on offshore sources. Further it would give the U.S. great sources of domestic energy, it would provide for better border security and there would be more family recreational opportunities. Finally he said that it would bring back the idea of state and local sovereignty, something the state has been badly lacking in with most of the land under federal control.
"Just look at Emery County," he pointed out. "The county commission there only controls what happens on 9 percent of the land because 91 percent of it is owned by the federal government."
As for support on the bill he thinks there is a lot from the states congressional delegation.
Swensen called Congressman Rob Bishop "a rock star" when it came to support for getting land in the state back into the state government's control. He also said Senator Mike Lee was strong on the idea as well.

I fully agree with Nicole that 'chicken or beef' just doesn't raise independently and critically thinking generations.
I'm not sure how much I can do about it on my end, but I have offered to teach workshops at my son's school without success, even though I offered to pay for all the materials. That was a hard blow for me.
So I have gone smaller scale, and I currently have two photography students who are now more awake to their surroundings, seeing the world in a different way, through the lens and camera and ultimately the pictures. I successfully yanked them away from the TV screen and its perceived appeal.
Two is more than zero, I guess. I wish I had time for more.
Good on ya, Nicole! Keep doing your thing. I'm proud of you.
- Thomas

This has probably been said but you *NEED* to create a support network. Family, friends, coworkers. Or if you are as isolated as I was, look online or in person. Join a support group like Overeaters Anonymous, heck join several groups, whether they focus on weight loss or not you'll make connections with people who will support you.
Support from family and friends is the best support a person could ask for :)
I wanted to loose weight before getting pregnant so I bought the wii and the biggest loser game. I worked out and stopped eating all the junk I was and I lost 40 pounds in two months. I managed to keep most of it off even after having a baby. I am 4 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight and he is 3 weeks old.
Having support systems when you're creating a healthy lifestyle is CRITICAL. Though family is important to share in your health journey everyone doesn't have that support. If that's the case, create your own support system by incorporating church members, friends, co-workers, other sparkers, support groups, strangers on the same journey, and the like. Your quality of life while making small & big changes can be greatly amplified with support of your endeavors.

The new Elliott Museum
A tribute to design
By SHELLEY OWENS
For Progress & Innovation
The Elliott Museum is where form meets function, where art meets invention. Marketing Director Lisa Djaded may not write it in the brochures, but the Elliott is an homage to design. Originally funded by Harmon Elliott, son of designer Sterling Elliott, the new Elliott has just reopened after a $20 million ground-up reincarnation.
You see the art in architecture, in machinery, and even in the mundane. From Leonardo DaVinci's flying machines to classic cars created from clay models that were hand-scraped by artists, art is around every corner.
Hand-scraped boat timbers will soon be added to the list as the Elliott merges the Maritime & Classic Boat Museum into its displays, said Djaded.
Like the Elliott, the Maritime Museum's exhibits come from a number of private, donated collections.
There are tools George "Curt" Whiticar, now 102, used to start his Stuart boatbuilding enterprise Whiticar Boat Works. And early Evinrude motors donated by Ralph Evinrude. There are classic boats, photos, instructional exhibits and an extensive research library.
Maritime history has been an Elliott goal since the House of Refuge, the last remaining shipwreck life-saving station on Florida's Atlantic Coast, came under its direction.
Merging the Maritime Museum with the Elliott not only complements an important existing exhibit, it centralizes and preserves important historical collections from Martin County, another museum goal, said Djahed.
And it will signify an historic remarriage as the one-of-a-kind Ralph Evinrude Outboard Marine Corporation collection is installed a short distance from Frances Langford's Outrigger Café, or at least a working re-creation. In case you in the mood for love; or a sandwich. (Langford and Evinrude were married from 1955 until his death in 1986.)

"Express your ability sincerely and that is art." In my work I emphasize quality, integrity and spontaneity. Since childhood I have found solace in the creation of art. It is my gift and I try not to waste it. My media of choice are oil painting, sculpture and photography. For me, the three disciplines borrow from each other making each one stronger! Having been a professional picture framer since 1990, the presentation aspect of the art world is always on my mind. It is amazing what a great frame can do. Co-owning Four Corners Framing Company in Holland, Michigan since 1999 has afforded me a front row seat to many types and styles of art. It has been a great and constant inspiration and keeps me on my art toes. You can visit...

The quality of the Alley's productions just keeps going up, with a great mix of classics and new works, including 3 world premieres this season. Mrs. Mannerly, currently on the small stage, is a wonderfully entertaining work, as was Wonderland, which just closed. The resident company is tremendously talented, and it is a pleasure to watch them in various different roles throughout the year and year to year.

Kim Kardashian vs. Lady Gaga: Houndstooth Style Showdown (POLL)
Lady Gaga wore the exact same Salvatore Ferragamo dress when she spent a morning on The View in August! Of course Mother Monster brought along a matching piano, microphone, shades, heels, and clutch, but other than that, the look is pretty similar.
We think Gaga's ensemble is funky yet chic, but is it too matchy-matchy for you? Solely for fashion purposes — we are asking you to choose sides. Who wore it better: Team Gaga or Team Kim K? Play fashion critic in the comments!

I use the pink bottle of the Sensitive Wash. I've been using it for a few months and I definitely feel cleaner overall since I've been using it than before I had started using it. It's really sensitive and doesn't irritate me in any way. Very happy with this purchase and will continue to repurchase.

EVERYTHING ELSE burns me. Everything. Yes, even those so called gentle Dove white beauty soaps, they burn me down there too. I always hate having to use other feminine products because they aren't as gentle as Summers Eve. I always use the sensitive/unscented one and it never hurts me down there even through daily use. Gentle, takes away odours, and really cleans despite being so light. Highly recommend to my fellow sensitive sisters out there!

Since i am prone to yeast infections, this is the only soap i can use. Its really delicate and does not burn me down there unlike other body washes/soaps. Ever since i started using this product, my yeast infections decreased, although i still am prone to them. I hope this product never gets discontinued!

This is a very good wash but I dont suggest using this everyday because it can strip you natrual oil down there.I will also suggest getting no fragrance because fragrance can really irriate you.Quick tip you should lather the soap on your wash cloth because putting soap down their with no lather will burn.I wouldnt suggest using this if you trouble with strong odor becausebit might get worst with smell if this problem occur you should go see your doctor.

I couldn't live without this stuff. I use the sensitive skin kind and it is great. I use it as my daily body wash because my skin is sensitive and gets dry easily. I also am very prone to yeast infections and this is the only kind of soap I can use "down there." The sensitive skin one is non-fragranced, which is much better for your skin but it actually still has a nice subtle scent.

I have used the "delicate blossom" feminine wash twice now and I have had to stop, since I always end up getting bumps down there. It is definitely due to It. I usually use regular bath soap/ shower gel and I never get that kind of irritation. I will try the one for normal skin and see if it works better for me.

I will never be without this product again! I know our junk cleans itself from the inside out, but I love using this externally when I'm in the shower. I'm very sensitive when it comes to using soap down there, but this stuff is amazing. I have the simply sensitive one so its fragrance free. I only need a pea sized amount and I haven't had any problems with it so far in terms of burning, itching, etc.
I'm still on the same bottle and have been using this every time I shower for about 8-10 months! For the price, that's pretty awesome.
It's not tested on animals either which is a bonus =)

I use to wash with Dove soap, but then it started to burn when I used Dove.. So I purchased the store brand of Summers Eve, has the same ingredients. I tried it and it didn't sting! Or burn! It seriously leveled the PH, Wow, I just can't explain how good this stuff is! I can't believe it took me this long to use it! .. Oooh and a Little goes a long easy :) I love this stuff!

This is my HG. I have been using it for about 3 years, and If I have to even go a few days without it It's horrible. It makes me super clean and regular soaps just don't cut it. I feel a lot more confident when I use this.

It took me forever to try this--I couldn't imagine that it would make a difference, and was afraid it would be irritating. I wish I had started to use this years ago.
The difference in the number of yeast infections I get is amazing. As is the great reduction in irritation and general itching. If I use any other product even once, I get the old irritation and itching immediately. No matter what I use, Dove sensitive, Ivory, Purpose, whatever.
And while it has remedied those problems for me, it also makes a remarkable difference in freshness. In the summer or when you exercise and get sweaty, I usually will have odor, but this takes care of that, too.
The only one I have used is the sensitive formula. Of course, as with any product, makeup or personal care, there will be some people who experience irritation or allergy. That's always true. But for me, and apparently many others, this stuff works.

Johannesburg - South Africa's No 1 Kevin Anderson is confident that he will turn out for the French Open starting on Sunday.
The world No 35 dropped one position in the latest ATP tennis rankings after withdrawing injured last week during his first-round match against Sam Querrey at the ATP Masters event in Rome.
Anderson twisted an ankle during the first set tiebreaker and retired in the second set.
"The strain was pretty bad, but I have done a lot of extensive rehabilitation," Anderson said on Monday.
"I spent the entire week in Rome working with the ATP physios and I am making great progress.
"I am feeling very confident of being ready for the French Open." Anderson said the injury would be monitored during the week.
The big-serving SA Open champion qualifies automatically for the main draw of the French Open at Roland Garros.

Slowly but surely, bullfighting has been banned in a number of countries. Some forms remain legal in places including France, Texas and California where a so-called "ethical option" to the bloody "sport" exists. As a reader recently wrote to Andrew Sullivan, Portugese bullfighting is "bloodless" as it does not involve killing the bull:
We actually find the blood sport of slaughtering the beast in the arena to be disgustingly cruel and wasteful. Portuguese bulls are put back to stud, where in the U.S. and the Azores they live the life of an average farm bull (and sometimes reused in the arena), and in mainland Portugal they're pampered stud animals, with the best commanding the highest fees for their services. In fact, the bullfighting industry in Spain often uses Portuguese bulls for stud since they've wasted their own.
In California (where the commenter lives), a velcro pad is placed over the shoulders of a bull for a Portuguese bullfight; bandarilhas (small spears) with velcro tips can attach to the pad. Cavaleiros or cavaleiras (horsemen or horsewomen) on "beautifully adorned horses" then place the pad on the bull after which the matadores enter the ring.
After the matadores "finish tiring out" the bull, eight young men called the forcados line up facing the animal. Their task is to "coax the bull into charging"; when he does, one young man takes the "full force of the hit with a pega de cara (face plant)," wraps his arms around the animal's horns and is pushed back into the seven other men. Some grab at the bulls's tail, all with the aim of getting him to stand still for a few seconds: if such occurs, the forcados "win"; if the bull keeps scattering them around, they lose. "Believe me, it's the forcados who get injured, not the bull," writes the reader of Sullivan's blog.
Following all this, a herd of cows is ushered into the ring and the bull is escorted off to retire.
The commenter does note that, in Portugal, "some blood is drawn" in such bullfights as "a small dart is stuck into the fatty hump between the bull's shoulders." Portuguese bullfights are held in California due to people from Portugal emigrating from places such as the Azores Islands.
How "Ethical" Is Any Kind of Bullfighting?
While the fights (at least in California, according to the commenter's description) are bloodless, the bull still has objects (those velcro-tipped spears) thrown at it. In 2009, California animal advocates urged Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley to press charges against a company that was staging the bullfights as part of the Festa da Bola, a three-day celebration of Portuguese culture. A humane officer working with the group Animal Cruelty Investigations reported that bull fighters were seeing using "long wooden sticks with several-inch sharpened nails on the end to stab, torment and infuriate the bulls."
The bulls do not necessarily spend the rest of the lives in pastures: as Jose Avila, editor of the Modesto-based Portuguese Tribune, says in the LA Times, the next stop for some bulls is the slaughterhouse.
Bullfighting is against the law in California, according to the state's Penal Code (Section 597m) but bloodless bullfighting "held in connection with religious celebrations or religious festivals" is allowed. Members of the Portugese community defend the practice as a "benign" ritual that is part of a celebration of their cultural heritage. Similar arguments have been made defending bullfighting in Spain and France (and the eating of shark fin soup in China and among those of Chinese heritage). Surely there are other ways of honoring one's culture without cruelty against animals?
As Animal Cruelty Investigations says in the LA Times, "No animal should ever be made to suffer for so-called entertainment." Bulls in any sort of fighting, "bloodless" or not, endure plenty in the ring, with people throwing darts and running at them, the noise from the audience and more. How "ethical" and "humane" can such a practice be?

I live in Spain and it´s a shame that the government of this country stills gives big money to keep the torture of the bulls. More than 73% of the population in this country is againt the bullfighting!!
thanks for sharing
oh just leave the bull alone. if these men want entertainment let them headbutt each other.
Torturing any animal for sport or entertainment should be outlawed. And that includes rodeoes and the circus.
This is just a loophole! Animals are not clowns!
Bloody or not, it's still a type of abhorrent cruelty, and therefore shall be outlawed.
Are we certain that the bottom-feeders that contribute to this aren't really inbred hillbillies, that would answer alot questions.
pier*oleni fanatycy
It is cruel and heartless. I say "go find something else do"
seems a fairly benign way of celebrating a culture's diversity, better than traditional bull fights.

Leaders of Two Churches in Ethiopia Meet
Sister Susan Roberts, Africa Southeast Area Public Affairs
President Esubalew Alemayehu Biru, Ethiopia Addis Ababa District President; and Elder and Sister Roberts, Africa Southeast Area Public Affairs missionaries, had an audience with His Holiness Abune Paulos, Abune and Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
"We are brothers in Christ, and we must work together…" His Holiness commented. The audience took place on 26 June 2012 in His Holiness' office in Addis Ababa.
Elder Roberts said, "It was a special treat to meet with this respected church leader of Ethiopia and the World Council of Churches." Elder Roberts hopes for more future interaction between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
There are currently four branches of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Ethiopia Addis Ababa District where President Biru presides. A second Church building is under construction.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church has about 45 million members. Besides being leader of the Church, His Holiness Abune Paulos is also one of the seven serving presidents of the World Council of Churches.
