When the menstrual period is finished, the egg cells mature in the ovaries. Soon there will be an ovulation, the sperm will be able to enter the egg, and a conception will take place. If your cycles are shorter than 28 days, a conception may occur even this week.
A blastocyst, forming from the fertilized egg, will soon be differentiated into two parts. The first will form a placenta, an umbilical cord, an amniotic sac, a yolk sac and a chorion. The second will turn into an embryo. This part will be divided into three layers, each of which will develop into various organs. One layer will give rise to the internal organs such as a pancreas, a liver, a digestive tract lining, a bladder, a thyroid gland. The other layer will in due time become muscles, connective tissue, cartilage, blood vessels and kidneys. The outer layer will develop into a brain, nervous system, and hair and skin.
The beginning of a pregnancy is counted from the first day of the last menstrual period. For now, nothing happens. However, prepare yourself for a change. Your body will adapt itself to the new conditions. Apart from obvious and easily noticed changes such as a growing belly, enlarged breasts or weight gain, there will be also changes perceived only by you, e.g. greasy hair or swollen feet.
Remember that all these are connected with the miracle that will be the birth of your child. Respect your body, love it, and remember that the nature has planned everything so that your little daughter or little son could be born in a safe and healthy way. Many women have fond memories of their pregnancy, if it is uncomplicated, this time can be one of the most beautiful experiences in your life. There are lucky women unfamiliar to morning sickness or swollen feet. Perhaps you are one of them, but even if not, try to accept the discomforts with a smile.
During pregnancy you may become ill, catch a cold, you may have a headache or food poisoning. Some women avoid taking any medications during pregnancy for fear of harming their baby. However, many drugs can be safely used during pregnancy without affecting the developing fetus. It is only important not to take any medications without consulting your doctor. At the beginning of a pregnancy, when it is still not evident, always tell your doctor that you are or may be pregnant.
During pregnancy you should not take any medicines containing aspirin, codeine or ibuprofen. Pay attention to this, as they are common components of analgesic and antipyretic drugs, used in preparations for colds, runny nose or cough. Paracetamol, administered at low doses, is a safe painkilling and antipyretic drug. Some antibiotics are also safe, but remember they must be prescribed by a doctor. Take only the vitamins intended for pregnant women. If you experience stomach upset, it is best to have plenty of rest and prevent dehydration by drinking a lot of fluids. If the symptoms do not improve after two days, you should consult your doctor.
Remember about:
a healthy, balanced diet - do not eat for two, but follow a healthy diet.
not taking aspirin, codeine and ibuprofen - paracetamol is safe.
Your diet during pregnancy is one of the best presents you can give to your child. Researchers proved that a proper pregnancy diet is important for the child development. What you eat affects the development of his organs, his personality, and birth weight.
However, it is a myth that a pregnant woman should be eating for two. And what if triplets are to be born? Indeed, an expecting mother should consume more calories, as her body makes a great effort. But tell this to a woman tormented with nausea, who cannot keep anything down. Therefore, it is better to focus on the quality of meals, a balanced diet, and avoiding dangerous foods.
There is no need to convince anyone that a healthy diet increases the chances of having a healthy and cute baby. Some scientists claim that the mother's diet during pregnancy may affect also the later stages of the baby's life and will determine its length and quality.

This can give your seedlings the edge they want to endure and reach adulthood. It also lets you have tighter handle in excess of the planting durations in your garden. When you take away your experienced plants, the following batch of seedlings ought to be completely ready.
Check out your retailer acquired soil for pests. If you buy from huge house enhancement merchants, your soil may possibly have pests these kinds of as aphids. To destroy the insects and their larvae, set the soil in a metal baking pan and area it lined in a 400 degree oven for twenty to 30 minutes. Permit great before making use of.
Are you asking yourself if you require to water your lawn? One excellent way to inform is to merely walk across it. If you can see your footprints, you have a thirsty lawn.

If you dwell in an region in which it doesn't rain often, make confident to give your lawn the "footprint examination" anytime you happen to be not confident if it truly is had adequate to drink.
Produce a exclusive visual effect with a hanging basket. A hanging basket full of spring or summer bouquets can brighten up a bare wall or a dreary again garden. A standard hanging basket is created of wire and lined with moss. The moss is beneficial in retaining moisture. You can develop a spectacular display by not only planting in the basket alone, but by inserting hanging plants in the gaps in the wire mesh. The mesh and surrounding moss with ensure that the plants keep secure.
For standard vegetable or flower gardening it is usually not necessary to purchase the most costly gardening instruments and hydroponic plant systems . Going to price reduction shops will typically allow you to locate simple instruments at a low price tag.

Go away the fish components untouched in the soil for as long as you can prior to planting over it. For best benefits, be confident to bury the fish areas at least 8 inches in the ground.
Develop residing partitions in your backyard. A living wall can consider numerous varieties: it can be as tall or reduced as you want, casual or formal, a one plant or created out of multiple vegetation. A wall of forsythia, lilac or roses offers eye-amount blossoms and fragrance. Some individuals like the search of a formal, clipped hedge of privet or boxwood. Several flowering shrubs can be adapted to sort a hedge, this kind of as hebe, abelia or diosma. For present constructions, such as a fence or trellis, a vine this sort of as clematis or morning glory can protect it in a time, supplying a vivid screen of vertical coloration.

Now with far more organic gardening knowledge to incorporate to your "bag of methods," you can very easily become a wonderful organic and natural gardener, also.

I am committed to supporting the growth of a diverse and creative culture in Sydney. Last night I was thrilled to join the theatre community and locals for the launch of the new Hayes Theatre Co.
The Reg Murphy Centre in Potts Point had been home to the Darlinghurst Theatre Company for the past 10 years, before their move last year to our new state-of-the-art Eternity Playhouse. In May 2011 as work on Eternity Playhouse proceeded I asked the City to investigate retaining the Reg Murphy Centre as a theatre. The idea had the strong support of people in the local and performing arts communities
Nine not-for-profit cultural and creative organisations submitted proposals to reuse the space and after a careful process, the City selected a new independent theatre group to manage and operate the theatre.
The group brings together Sydney's leading independent musical theatre companies, producers and creators. The theatre will continue to be a place for emerging and established performers to showcase their talents and try out new ideas, ensuring Sydney audiences have the chance to enjoy a much wider range of musical theatre and cabaret, including new Australian musicals.
To give the venue a fresh identity, they've adopted the name Hayes Theatre Co, after musical theatre legend Nancye Hayes.
The company plans to develop a program of master classes, workshops and other activities to help performers, composers and writers develop their skills and to enable budding thespians, students and the community to learn more about musical theatre.
Hayes Theatre Co is opening with Sweet Charity, the 1960s musical which gave Nancye Hayes her first starring role and introduced the songs Hey, Big Spender and Rhythm of Life.
One of the show's producers, David Campbell, and his father, Jimmy Barnes, were on hand for the launch. With their first season now underway and two more productions, including a new Australian musical, already planned, I expect Hayes Theatre Co will be exciting addition to our city.
You can find out more by visiting Hayes Theatre Co's website - www.hayestheatre.com.au

?1uNCE STEAM SI;IIPPING
CO. v.
(District Court, S. D. New York. April 12, 1892.)
CoNSTRUCTION OF CHARTER-PARTY-" BAD WEATHER "-"DISPATCH MONEYS."
The words "bad weather" in the charter in this case, must be construed to In·· elude weather not fit or reasonably safe for loading by reason of the state of the sea as well "as of the atmosphere j dispatch moneys computed accordingly.
In Admiralty. Libel for freight under charter. Counter-claim for dispatch money. The steam-ship Ocean Prince loaded a cargo of iron ore at Elba, where there is no harbor, but only an open roadstead, in consequence of which the ore was furnished to the ship in lighters. There was a conflict of testimony between the master of the ship and the agent of the shipper as to whether during certain days during which no cargo was furnished the ship the weather was bad or not. The clause of the charter referring to the weather was as follows: "The act of God, rAstraint of princes and rulers, strikes of miners or workmen, bad weather, quarantine, !'iots. Sundays, holidays, frosts. stoppage of trains or mipes, accidents to machinery, etc., and all unavoiuahle accidl'nts, and aU caull6s beyond the control of tIJ... shippers, charterers, or the consignee, which may prevent or delay the loading or discharging, always excepted." For prior report, see 39 Fed. Rep. 704. Butler, Stillman Hubbard, for libelant. Benedict Benedict, for respondents.
BROWN, District Judge. The amount of freigllt, $3,913.27, is not disputed. The charter allowed for the loading and discharge at the rate of 250 tons per day during working days; Sundays, holidays, bad weather, etc., being excepted; and it provided for a credit to the charterer of £15 per day, dispatch moneys, for any time saved' upon the above allowance. Computation upon the amount of cargo gives an aggregate time allowance of 8 days and 5 hours for loading and the same for discharging. The respondents claim to have used but 5 days 18l hours in all, and claim a credit, therefore, at the stipulated rate, lor the balance of the lay-days. The principal question turns on the meaning of the term" bad weather" in the charter, and upon the actual condition of the weather while the vessel was loading by mellns of lighters three-quarters of a mile from the jetties, at the island of Elba, in the Mediterranean. From the evident general intent of the charter, and from the immediate context of the words "bad weather," they mllst be construed to include, 1 think, weather not fit for loading or unloading by reason of the state of the sea as well as of the atmosphere. The entries in the master's log, and his testimony, show that he oonstantly used the phrase in that sense. "Bad weather," as used.in the charter, means not merely weather during which cargo could not by any possibility ha.ve been
vol. 50.
loaded, but such weather as was not reasonably fit or proper. This would exclude days when.it,was not reasonably safe to attempt loading with the appliances at hand, and when under the practice of the port loading was customarily suspended for that reason by competent men intrusted with the work, and acting upon their judgment of the fitness and safety of loading. The master of the ship, and the superintendent of the loading, differ considerably as to the days they consider to have been fit for loading. The superintendent, however, was constantly engaged in the business of loading, was upon the spot, and his testimony as to each day relates to the condition of the sea in the shallow water near the jetties, where the lighters were obliged to take their loads from the beach. The master did not go to the jetties at all, though he went ashore almost daily at other points. The superintendent's testimony, therefore, seems entitled to the most weight. That the judgment of the tnen employed to load was fairly exercised, is confirmed by the further fact, to which the superintendent testifies, that other vessels that were loading at the same time and place, suspended loading during the same time that loading on the libelant's vessel was suspended on account of bad weather. The master, however, testifies positively that loading was going on upon the 28th day of December from 9 o'clock until 4; while the superintendent allows bu t four 'hours, saying that the rest of the time was bad. In this respect the'tllaster's record is most precise, and the respondents must be charged with the time that they actually worked. Computing the rest of the time upon the basis: of the superintendent's testimony, I find the respondents chargeable with 5 days in loading and It days in discharging, making a saving, out of the 16 days and 10 hours allowed her, of 9* days, which, at the stipulated rate of £15 per day, entitles the respondents to a reduction of $679.80. Decrees may be entered accordingly.
, (Circuit Court. E. D. Pennsylvania.
May 27, 189L)
Matter ,expupged from a printed form, used in drawing up a oharter-party, can be considered in determining the intention of the parties thereto.
' ,
A oharter-party whioh provides that "freight" is to be paid "upon the unloading and right delivery of the oargo," "on intake weight," binds the charterer topay freight on the whole oargo taken on board, althoug!l a portion of it was damaged, without.tbe ship's faUlt; by an excepted peril, and sold on the voyage, when the remaining portion is rightly deliveredl especially where .the words "on intake a:;e sllbstituted for the printea word "delivered," in drawing up the instrument.

08 January 2013
Jeffrey I. D. Lewis
If you are in the IP space then you know about the America Invents Act (AIA), the significant US patent law reform that occurred in 2011
What people do not often realize is that after any legislation
is passed, there are typographical errors or other mistakes
that Congress has to fix. This is done in a so-called
"technical corrections" bill, one that is not meant to be
substantive legislation. Rather than change the law, such a
bill conforms it to what Congress intended to enact. When the
Technical Corrections Bill for AIA came up a few weeks ago,
however, it contained a significant surprise.
To understand the surprise, let me
go back to when I started practicing patent law (no,
it's not as far back as mandatory quill pens and
ink wells). Until the mid-1990s, applications were confidential
until the patent issued, and a patent lasted for 17 years from
the date it issued, regardless of how long the underlying
application (or string of applications) was pending. That
dynamic led to so-called "submarine patents," application
strings that were secretly pending in the Patent Office for
years or decades while the applicants modified claims to
explicitly cover advancing technology that would then "surface"
as a patent and be asserted against the new technology.
That changed in 1994, however,
when US patent law was brought into conformity with other
countries under the General Agreement of Tariff and Trade
(known as "GATT") based upon negotiations that occurred in
Uruguay. (It is simply a coincidence that this legislation
relates to negotiations in Uruguay, it has nothing to
do with my recent trip there for AIPLA). The 1994 Congress
enacted the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), modifying
confidentiality provisions to require that most applications be
published after 18 months. The URAA also changed patent terms
so that all new patents expired 20 years from the earliest
application date regardless of how long the string of
applications had been pending. (There are certain extensions
and adjustments on the 20 years available but those are not
relevant for this discussion, although one is addressed in the
Technical Corrections Bill). Naturally, there was an avalanche
of applications filed just before the effective date of the
patent term change (June 8, 1995). While the vast majority of
those applications are finished, believe it or not, some 1995
pre-URAA applications are still pending (one blogger claims
there are 216 such applications).
This all sets up the hullabaloo
over the AIA Technical Corrections Bill. Without fanfare, the
House bill, as introduced, included section 1(m) requiring that
all pre-URAA applications be resolved within one year of the
Technical Corrections Bill effective date or lose their 17-year
pre-URAA patent term. The Technical Corrections Bill contained
13 other major provisions, most of which were not controversial
(there were other more controversial "corrections" –
such as the scope of certain estoppel provisions –
that did not make it into the Technical Corrections Bill), but
section 1(m) made my phone ring.
Let's stop for a
moment to realize that we are talking about applications that
are almost as old as my son who's in college.
Everyone's first reaction, it seems, is that it is
outrageous for 1995 applications to still be pending. But,
after a moment people realized that for some applications there
may be legitimate reasons why they are still pending. For
instance, the government has the ability to suspend any
application based upon national security grounds (see 35 U.S.C.
181). There are other reasons for an application – and
even related applications – to have their prosecution
suspended if they involved in a proceeding such as an appeal,
interference or reexamination (see, for example, 37 CFR 1.931
and 1.989; MPEP §1449.01, 2283 (II), 2307.03, and 2686).
The proponents of section 1(m), however, are concerned about
applicants still pursing a submarine strategy. (For instance,
the Federal Circuit's opinion last year in
Hyatt v Kappos indicates the possibility.)
AIPLA asked its special
Legislative Committee to consider the bill, and I put the issue
on the agenda for AIPLA's Board of Directors. On
December 12th, the AIPLA Board voted to not endorse
section 1(m) as written, but instead to support the concept of
a study to see if pre-URAA applications really are a
On December 18, the House passed
the Technical Corrections Bill (HR 6621) but with section 1(m)
changed to only require a PTO-study of the pre-URAA application
issue and not a change to the expiration dates. Each time I
have tried to finish this post, however, further changes to the
Technical Corrections Bill have been made. On December
28th, the Senate took up HR 6621 and passed it, but
without any requirements specific to the pre-URAA
applications; in other words, without the study requirement
On the night of January 1, 2013,
the House passed HR 6621 without any reference to the pre-URAA
applications – either study or deadline –
shortly after passing the 'fiscal cliff'
legislation. It was received by the White House on January 3,
2013, which makes January 15 the last day for it to be signed
or not. Now it awaits Presidential Action.
Stay tuned, it's
always something with the legislative process.

The magnitude of the impulse response of a strictly proper stable rational plant at time t is estimated to be of order 0(1/t) where the implied constant is explicitly given in terms of the spectral energy and the real parts of the zeros and poles. When exact location of poles and zeros is uncertain, this estimate can usefully replace the actual but uncertain exponential decay.

Have you felt lately that you've wasted so much time? Well, you're not alone. I myself felt it too. I've been doing a lot of nonsense things lately which I know, won't do me any good.
One perfect example is oversleeping. I just don't know why I can't control myself from oversleeping. It's not that I'm super tired from work but maybe because I keep on staring the television for nonsense shows. I can't even update this blog because of it.
Lately I realized that I should change my daily schedule and make the most of my time. I should be allotting time for exercise, proper eating time, prayer and most of all blogging. The latter just allow me to express myself better and at the same time I know it would lead me to something good.
Aside from having a channel of emotions, blogging is also one way of having extra income online. I've been inspired by one of my friends who was able to buy numerous expensive gadgets just because of blogging. Now, I've a got something to waste my time with and it is figuring out how to make money by just blogging.
First thing that you should do is to have a blog. I can recommend blogspot.com for free blogs as a start. Then beautify your blog by discovering the blogging tools. If you're having a hard time figuring things out, you can always Google everything. There has been a lot of tutorials published for newbie bloggers nowadays. I tell you, it feels so great if you can figure it out yourself. As to what topic are you going to put in your blog, learn to know what you want first so that you can relate to it as much as possible.
So what are you waiting for? Don't just waste your time staring, do something, start blogging.

text: I have been following hard disk and SSD prices for quite a while now, primarily on amazon uk. This is because my brother lives there, comes to India every few months, and so can bring the stuff. As everyone would know, HDD prices increased from Nov 2011 but have declined in recent days. For example, a 2TB WD Caviar Black was at 120-130 pounds (currency used from now on), but shot up to 185-200 from Nov 2011. However, recently prices have been down to 170. As an example, I bought a WD 2 TB Caviar Black 2001FASS in Oct 2011 for 125 pounds. More dramatic is the decline in SSD prices. For example, crucial m4 ssd (the one I am targeting) was for most of the last few months at around 85-90 for 64GB and 160-180 for 128 GB. Now its down to 71 for 64GB and 127 for 128GB. Even Intel 520 120GB started at perhaps 180 pounds but is now at 160. Perhaps similar instances can be found for other SSDs which may indicate a price decline of 10-15% within the last 1-2 weeks or so. Any recommendations (Intel SSD 520 120 or crucial m4 128). I can get this in March 2012. For us in India, there is also the recent benefit of Indian rupee appreciating (which went up against the dollar from 46 in Sep 2011 to 52-53 by end-Dec 2011, but is now at 49. Against the pound, it is up from 82-83 to 1 pound to 78 now).

For the past two weeks, the U.S. technology industry has been awash with controversy following former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden's disclosure that the Obama administration had undertaken a vast global spying initiative aimed at preventing future terrorist attacks. Some of the biggest tech giants, such as Apple, Yahoo! and Google were all implicated in the release for their complicity with government data-mining operations. As a result, some investors have been publicly wondering whether or not they should continue putting their faith – and money – in the hands of businesses that may be passing sensitive information over to federal officials.
Jessica Meyers and Michelle Quinn of Politico explored this quandary in a recent piece titled "Tech titans and their 'trust problems.'" This article explored the idea that the corporations had breached unspoken privacy agreements with their customers and, as a result, could lose some of their business.
"They have a little bit more than a public relations problem; they have a trust problem," David Di Martino, an information technology expert, told the source in an interview. "Consumers expect their data to be protected and the tech companies are now trying to leverage their transparency policies, and contrasting themselves with the government's policies, to start regaining that trust."
There are two major implications that investors might want to be mindful of. First, the perception that these large tech companies are working in the best interest of U.S. intelligence services rather than their own constituents could cause long-term harm, but market movements for the past two weeks have not shown this to be the case. However, given the fact that Snowden and the U.K.-based The Guardian have promised to release more materials, more damaging evidence could come to light.
Some fears relate to the idea of these businesses actually being sued, either through a class-action suit or civil litigation. While the government has ostensibly given these resources with which to brush off legal actions in the United States, international prosecution – centered around the foreign intelligence-gathering system known as PRISM – could create complications.
In the past several days, Apple, Facebook and Yahoo!, among others, have partially revealed the extent of government requests for information. While these releases certainly indicate a greater willingness to be open with the public, it's too early to say if damage has truly been done.
Ultimately, tech sector investors or those who are interested in getting involved with the industry should consider using the portfolio monitoring tools from SmartStops. These resources can help users observe, react and control risk flare-ups when they threaten to cause losses in a volatile market.

text: Hey guys, I usually game on my XBOX360... but anyone who likes RTS games knows that a console is no place for them. So, I am looking for a good RTS to play on my MBP. I saw that EA recently released C&C 3 for OSX, has anyone played it? How does it run in OSX? I have a 15" MBP 2.3 w/2GB RAM. I've never gamed on a Mac before... so I am wondering if it will run smoothly or not. I am also up for suggestions for any other RTS games. Thanks!

|JP Firing Pin Retainer Pin
Cotter-Style Large Frame (.308)
This is the end of missing firing pin retainer pins.
Easily lost, the standard split-pin design firing pin retainer pin is haunted by poor retention. For decent function, the user must regularly spread apart the pin's split tip. Without this, these pins are prone to falling out whenever the carrier group is removed from the rifle. Typically, such pins are either lost or fracture from regular spreading.
Our JP-designed and manufactured firing pin retainer pin resolves all retention issues of the standard split-pin component. The cotter-style design offers superior retention and longevity. Its overall length is optimized for JP bolt carriers but is a perfectly functional replacement for the pins in all large-frame bolt carriers of the DPMS LR-308 pattern.
This firing pin retainer pin is not compatible with Armalite bolt carriers.

Returning to the Scene of the Crime
One week since the big fall and I finally mustered up the courage to walk over the spot where I fell. I've passed it several times as I hobbled past with the dog, but finally got the courage to actually walk over it yesterday. Of course I didn't fall - but then again it wasn't covered with ice.
Quick update - MRI scheduled for Wednesday. Appointment with Orthopedic guy not until the week after. I should be healed by then - jeez. I've had some PT in the meantime. We work on my neck - the whiplash - and will not address the back until teh MRI and Ortho visit. I canceled out on my work trip for later this week - San Diego in February! I think the flight (MSP to Chicago then to San Diego) would have killed me - not to mention the 12 hour days standing on my feet.
I've developed a distinguished slouch. When I walk, I stare at the ground about 6 to 7 feet in front of me. When I try to look out in the distance I end up peering over my glasses and everything is blurry. I have to make an effort to lift my head to avoid running into people (and cars) coming towards me.
Other than that I'm feeling pretty good - sleep well thanks to the muscle relaxers.
Enough about me - Henry was here on Friday night. It's hard to believe he was so ill barely one month ago. He entertained us all by demonstrating his latest skill - tap dancing!

Dr. Gabor Maté (@drmate) is a physician who specializes in neurology, psychiatry, and psychology. He's well known for studying and treating addiction.
Dr. Maté has written several books, including the award-winning In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction. His work has been published internationally in 20 languages, and he's received the Hubert Evans Prize for Literary Non-Fiction; an Honorary Degree (Law) from the University of Northern British Columbia; an Outstanding Alumnus Award from Simon Fraser University; and the 2012 Martin Luther King Humanitarian Award from Mothers Against Teen Violence. He is an adjunct professor in the Faculty of Criminology, Simon Fraser University.
I've wanted to invite Dr. Maté to this podcast for a while because he is not only an expert in the pathologies of addiction, but he's experimented with -- and used successfully -- tools that are perhaps outside the realm of traditional psychiatry. He is also a co-founder, along with Vicky Dulai, of Compassion for Addiction, a group that advocates for a new way to understand and treat addiction.
This podcast is brought to you by Ascent Protein, the only US-based company that offers native proteins — both whey and micellar casein — directly to the consumer for improved muscle health and performance. Because the product is sourced from Ascent's parent company, Leprino Foods — the largest producer of mozzarella cheese in the world — it's entirely free of artificial ingredients and completely bypasses the bleaching process common to most other whey products on the market.
If you want cleaner, more pure, less processed protein — which I certainly do — go to ascentprotein.com/tim for 20 percent off your entire order! I'm a big fan of all of their flavors — the chocolate, vanilla, and even their newest option, cappuccino. Enjoy!

Today, I want to share my advice with you on how to sponsor one new distributor per week in your MLM Business.
I teach people on my own team that if you can personally sponsor one new distributor per week, every week, for a few years, you can build a very successful and profitable MLM business.
Sponsor just one new distributor per week for three years and you will personally sponsor 156 people. Do it for five years and you will personally sponsor 260 people.
Bring in that many people personally and you are bound to find your three to five key leaders.
In order to sponsor one new distributor per week in your MLM Business, you will probably have to contact 25 NEW prospects per week, which breaks down to about five contacts per day, Monday through Friday.
Out of every 25 people you prospect, about 10 should agree to watch a presentation and typically five of them will actually watch the presentation.
From those five people who watch the entire presentation, you should sign up one new distributor.
I can't guarantee you these exact numbers, but I do know it should be pretty close. I'm also being fairly conservative and assuming you are brand new and don't have very good prospecting or follow-up skills.
When I say contact FIVE people per day, I mean to pique people's curiosity and invite them to a presentation (if they are open). This can be a video presentation, a live meeting, a conference call, webinar, etc.
You don't have to actually show the presentation yourself, nor should you. Keep it simple, use third party tools and remove yourself from the equation.
After the presentation, make sure you follow up promptly and collect a decision.
I truly believe that if you prospected just 5 people per day, every day, five days a week, for a few years, you could build up a HUGE network marketing business.
Some of you might be wondering, "Where do I find these people?"
These people are everywhere. They include friends, family, strangers, people online, leads, etc. There are literally seven BILLION plus people in the world.
Most of us come in contact with HUNDREDS of people each day without even realizing it. All you have to do is be friendly, introduce yourself and start a conversation.
If that doesn't work for you, pick a marketing strategy that makes sense to you and learn everything you can about it.
This might be YouTube, social media, postcards, newspaper ads, cold calling, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, or something else. There is no one right or wrong strategy. Just pick ONE lead generation method that makes the most sense to you and stick with it.
Folks, this is a numbers game. You have to talk to NEW people each day. You have to work the numbers.
If you work the numbers, you will succeed. If you don't work the numbers, you will fail. PERIOD.
Also, if you are using a different strategy to generate leads, other than face-to-face, please remember that you still need to talk to these people on phone, by SKYPE or in person (if possible).
This is a RELATIONSHIP business. People will not just see your link online and join your team. You have to form a connection with them first.
Sadly, most people don't share their business opportunity with even five new prospects per year. Or, they make the mistake of sharing the business opportunity with the same people over and over and over.
And they wonder why they struggle…
You must reach out to NEW prospects daily. Pick a strategy. Make a plan. And never let a day go by where you don't reach out to at least five new prospects, inviting them to a presentation (after you pique their interest).
This is the key to success in network marketing. This is how you sponsor one new distributor per week in your MLM Business.
I hope you will follow this advice in your own business.
What are your thoughts? Leave a comment below to let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you.

|an is not alone in the universe, any more than the individual is alone in the group, or any one society among other societies. Even if the rainbow of human cultures should go down for ever into the abyss which we are so insanely creating, there will still remain open to us -- provided we are alive and the world is in existence -- a precarious arch that points toward the inaccessible. The road which it indicates to us is the one that leads directly away from our present serfdom: and even if we cannot set off along it, merely to contemplate it will procure us the only grace that we know how to deserve. The grace to call a halt, that is to say: to check the impulse which prompts Man always to block up, one after another, such fissures as may open up in the blank wall of necessity and to round off his achievement by slamming shut the doors of his own prison. This is the grace for which every society longs, irrespective of its beliefs, its political regime, its level of civilization. It stands, in every case, for leisure, and recreation, and freedom, and peace of body and mind. On this opportunity, the chance of for once detaching oneself from the implacable process, life itself depends.
|Farewell to savages, then, farewell to journeying! And instead, during the brief intervals in which humanity can bear to interrupt its hive-like labours, let us grasp the essence of what our species has been and still is, beyond thought and beneath society: an essence that may be vouchsafed to us in a mineral more beautiful than any work of Man: in the scent, more subtly evolved than our books, that lingers in the heart of a lily; or in the wink of an eye, heavy with patience, serenity, and mutual forgiveness, that sometimes, through an involuntary understanding, one can exchange with a cat.

Today's post is pretty quick as I'm getting ready for a wine&dine night! I just wanted to share with you my week's snapshots and what I've been up to! These are the things that have brought a smile to my face this week ♥
- Spinach, mushroom and bacon quiche – this quiche was simply delicious! It's from the Real patisserie (one of my favourite cafes in Brighton) but I make a similar one myself and will share with you soon!
- Flowery midi dress – I'm looking at new office clothes for spring (have been in Zara almost everyday this week!) and loved the look of this one – so flowery! It's now part of my March wishlist (also to come in a post soon!)
- Pesto pasta and salad – so easy to make and so yummy! Recipe coming soon!
- Lion King the musical – I went to this last Saturday and absolutely loved it! I was a bit upset with the seats we were in but in the end the show made up for it! You must see it if you like musicals! It brought back some amazing memories.
- Coffee grounds for my orchid – you may have seen my post about using coffee grounds in your homemade scrub (if not, see it here) but I also found out that coffee can be great for your plants when mixed with soil. So I tried it out! So far no major results but will let you know as soon as I see something!
- Currently reading – Not that kind of girl and loving it! After reading so many positive reviews I had to give it a try. Will give you the whole review once I'm finished – stay tuned!

Have a great Saturday everyone!

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta,
By: Nia S. Amira (Indonesian author, journalist, and linguist)
Though it is separated by 7,778 km in distance, this year is the celebration of the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Azerbaijan and Indonesia. The two countries tend to be close and harmonious as Indonesia has always been a good friend who supports Azerbaijan in the complicated problems facing with Armenia. But since the new facts were revealed about Maulana Malik Ibrahim, it turns out that good relationships between the two countries have existed since a long time, even had started since six centuries ago.
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Republic of Indonesia recognized the independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan on 28 December 1991 and a year later, diplomatic relations between the two countries officially established on September 24, 1992. On 12 February 2006, the Embassy of Azerbaijan to Indonesia in Jakarta was established and became the first Embassy of Azerbaijan in Southeast Asia. Indonesia responded four years later by establishing the Embassy on 2 December 2010 in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan. The two countries are the Members of State Islamic and Non-Aligned Movement. Within this period, bilateral relations developed very fast and dynamically. High-level political relations are based on the principles of brotherhood and mutual support. Both countries recognize and support their territorial integrities and sovereignties over internationally recognized state borders. Indonesia is one of the louder countries condemning the terror acts and military aggression of Armenia against Azerbaijan.
During this 25 years diplomatic relations, there are lots of achievement have been obtained. In 2009, for the first time Azerbaijan offered scholarships for the Master of Arts in Diplomacy and International Affairs (MADIA) program for young Indonesian diplomats in Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy. While Pusdiklat Kemlu offered scholarships for middle-career Azerbaijan diplomats since 2011.
In 2012, Azerbaijan University of Language (AUL) established the Center for Indonesian Studies. This institution promotes the understanding and learning of Indonesian language and culture for Azerbaijani students. In April 2012, the Indonesian Studies Center at AUL in cooperation with the Indonesian Embassy in Baku held a batik workshop and exhibition, performing Batik designer from Yogyakarta as the keynote speaker. The event is intended to promote cultural exchange between the two countries.
Recently it was revealed the information that explains that the man called as Ibrahim Samarkandi whose full name is Maulana Malik Ibrahim, one of the Nine Saints of the first Wali Songo is said to be originally from Azerbaijan. Maulana Malik Ibrahim lived in the 15th century. From his place on the Caspian Sea peninsula, Azerbaijan, Ibrahim traveled to Samarkand in Uzbekistan where he studied Islam. Having felt qualified, Ibrahim continued his spiritual journey to Indonesia with his brother whose named Maulana Ishak and spread Islam in Java. The relationship between Azerbaijan and Indonesia seems to have started back to six centuries ago, precisely in the 15th century AD.
The news that contains history is certainly very interesting and important for Muslims, especially for the people of Azerbaijan and Indonesia who are predominantly Muslim. Together with Husnan Bey Fananie, Indonesian Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Professor Zaur Aliyev, who is a member of the Azerbaijani Academy of Sciences, stated that the facts about Maulana Malik Ibrahim who is a scholar of religious knowledge from Azerbaijan has a very dominant position in the history of Islam in Indonesia.
Maulana Malik Ibrahim is known as Kakek Bantal or Sunan Gresik in Indonesia. He is considered the forerunner of the first Wali Songo (9 Saints in Islamic history in Indonesia). The name of Maulana Malik Ibrahim is written in the Indonesian history, immortalized as the name of the Mosque and the name of the Road in East Java. The manuscript of the holy Qur'an written by this great cleric is still well preserved in Indonesia. According to some historical sources, from his marriage to Princess of Champa (read: Cambodia), Maulana Malik Ibrahim has descendants, Raden Rahmat known as Sunan Ampel and Sayid Ali Murtadho or Raden Santri. In 1419, Maulana Malik Ibrahim passed away and the tomb of this great cleric found in Kampung Gapura, Gresik East Java is often visited by pilgrims from all over the country and the neighboring countries.

Some memories don't dim but only grow brighter with age. For me, one night stands out more clearly than most. Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve services during my childhood were magical.
