As a 'four-eye' guy since young, the problem I have always encountered is having thumbprint smudges that will blur my vision. Or scratches which means another new pair of specs.
It's "Hallelujah" when Crizal lenses were introduced to me. After wearing specs for almost 30 years, I don't think I am qualified to be Optometrist, but at least I know the importance of having a right and good pair of specs.
Is this familiar?
Sales: hi, are you looking for a pair of specs?
You: yes, what are the latest frame designs?
It's typical for us to walk into an optical shop and focus on the frames more than the lenses. Just like a DSLR camera (and I recently just bought one), photographers hardly spend a lot of money on camera body, but they spend thousands on different lenses. Cos lenses are how we will view the things around us.
Crizal lenses ensure perfect clear vision by attacking its eyeglasses 5 worst enemies:
Glare (no reflections)
Crizal lenses eliminate reflections and 'ghost' images caused by artificial light especially in the night or when working on the computer
Crizal lenses' in-built smudge-repellent eliminates the occurrence of oily smudges or dirty spots
Crizal lenses provide unrivalled scratch resistance which is ideal for children as well as wearers who engage in active lifestyles
Crizal lenses have anti-static properties that help to keep dust and grit particles at bay
Water Drops
Crizal lenses also feature hydrophopic or water-repellent properties that prevent water from lingering and spreading across the lenses
Last week, Kless and I went to Integrated Eye Centre (IEC) to prescribe our first pair of Crizal lenses courtesy of Essilor. Having wore specs for almost all my life (since 6-year-old), the prescription procedure is nothing new to me. But I will consider going back to IEC because of the super-friendly & professional staff.
Can I have the red lenses? Match my jacket.
Me with my old specs
Me in my new specs, cool?
Choosing the right frame. Green? I think I look like a sleepy nerd!
This frame is actually very cool, but not very comfy.
Both of these are not the frame I chose in the end. To know what I have selected, watch out on this website again..I will be wearing my new specs out for a day of fun and test out the 5 qualities of Crizal lenses.

so i know the last few posts have been rather depressing. and to be honest, i've put off writing my weekly deployment check-in along with a few other things because i've just been an emotional mess and can't take on more.
with the reality that we're less then 90 days out from duffel bags, white buses and webcam dates again, i know our opportunities for make a baby are getting slimmer too. and then the thought that hubby will miss two birthdays, two football seasons, two halloweens, two thanksgivings, two christmases and one of everything else in between, i'm having a hard time trying to find the positive, the silver lining, the joy in what God has put before me.
usually i'm good at finding the positive, but i have these fears, thoughts that i know the devil has placed in my way to make we weaver in my faith. i know that i can overcome those thoughts, i know God will bring us through this. He is bringing us to it, so i know He'll bring us through it. but even with that echoing in my head, i'm having a hard time believing it with all my heart, soul and mind. and heck, why shouldn't i. 15 months is a very long time. iraq is safer then afghanstain, but still. any number of things could happen. what if i don't get pregnant? what if i miscarry and hubby is half a world away? what if?
but i'm trying to wrap my head around it. find the positive and make the most of our time together. so, my prayer is for positive thinking, for courage to face the journey before us, to have renewed and continued faith and to kick satan out of my mind.

15 months? What the hell? Why are they going for so long? The Army, I tell yah. Ryan's leave date isn't too far behind Aarons. He'll be in Afghanistan though. It's so hard not to think about "those things". I think it's just human nature to get caught up in the what ifs. I'm here if you need me!

Dear Technoid,
I do a lot of rough shooting and find that after a few hours the weight of my 12 bore over and under excessive. I have tried a lighter side by side but do not shoot so well with this format of barrels. A friend has recommended I try a 20 bore over and under as the weight of gun is similar to an English side by side. My questions are : What is the effective killing range of both bores?. What loss of shot spread can I exspect at ranges between 25 yards and 45yards?. I look forward to your reply.
Dear Malcom,
It really all a question of shot load, not of gauge. Let's say that you typically shoot 1-1/4 oz of #6 shot in your 12 gauge and 1 oz of #6 shot in the 20. If the vital area of a departing pheasant is 4″ x 4″ (just a guess), you have a 26.5″ killing circle with the 12 gauge and a 24″ killing circle with the 20. This is based on an optimum-sized pattern at the target (about 75% to 85% with #6s) and using the criteria of an 80% chance of a two pellet strike (same as 95% chance of one pellet or 50% chance of three) at the fringe of the pattern. In the real world, you might want to increase the fringe requirements, but for comparison it's valid.
What it comes down to is that the twelve throws a bigger payload and this bigger payload covers a wider area. The diameter difference of 12 ga (1-1/4 oz) to 20 (1 oz) is 26.5″ compared to 24″, or on an area basis its 552 sq/in vs 453 sq/in. The 20 covers 18% less area than the 12 in this example. My goodness! That 18% is almost equal to the 20% difference in shot weight between the shells. Who would have thought it?
Note that I'm not doing this in terms of range, but in terms of pattern density at the same range. Each 10% change in pattern density is normally equivalent to about, sort of, one full degree of choke change and is good for an extra 5 yards of range. Each full degree of choke change gives the same pattern percentage (more or less, sort of) at each five yard increment. Example: IC is generally considered to be a 50% pattern, Modified generally a 60%, Full is over 70% (remember I said "sort of"- nothing to do with choke nomenclature is absolute). IC gives the same pattern at 25 yards that Modified does at 30 that Full does at 35.
Soooo- when you go from a 1-1/4 oz load down 20% to a 1 oz load, optimizing everything else, you will now be getting the same pattern density at 25 yards that you had gotten at 35 yards before. The reduction in shell size has cost you 10 yards in effective range. In exchange for an18% smaller pattern, you get a gun that is lighter to carry and faster to point. Whether the trade-off is worth it or not is strictly up to you.
You can always fudge the equation by using larger shot loads in the 20 or smaller ones in the 12. At a certain point pattern efficiency raises its head. A 20 will not pattern a 3″ 1-1/4 oz load as well as a 12 will pattern a 1-1/4 oz load, but the difference is less than the popular press would lead us to believe. I regularly get over 70% patterns from Remington Nitro Mag 3″ buffered 1-1/4 oz lead #4s out of my .015″ barrel of my 20.
Everything in hunting is a compromise. There's no point in trying to hunt for long periods with a gun you can't lift no matter how good that gun is ballistically. There's also no point in hunting with a shot charge so small that you can't humanely kill the prey. You want to find the happy medium. Being able to shoot accurately is VERY much more important than any discussion of payload and pattern. If you center the bird, it really doesn't matter what kind of pattern you have. It's only when you are operating on the fringe of the pattern that payload becomes important.
Generally, I think that the best advice I ever received was to hunt with the gun I shot best, not necessarily with the one that threw the biggest load of shot. The bird doesn't care how hard you miss him.
Best regards,
Bruce Buck

Almost 4 months and two firmware updates later. Contacts list got corrupted somehow so I had to do a hard reset on it about a week ago. Before it was doing quite nicely with battery life, but now post-reset the Cliq is back to its old battery sucking ways.
I've gone through and changed all the notification frequencies of all the apps I could find to longer time intervals, which has helped some. It's still not back to pre-reset battery consumption levels though. Will have to dig some more to see if there's anything else I can change.
The number for the cell phone has been seeded in a few places and to a few people. At least I know the area code and prefix now.

Goodah!!! offers BBM : Sinigang na Boneless Bangus sa Miso
Goodah!!! has new Lenten food offering, it's the Sinigang na Boneless Bangus sa Miso
Filipinos love to eat! And here in the Philippines, we are all fond of this kind of fish called "bangus" or otherwise known as milkfish. As it name implies, bangus has a milky and creamy taste that everyone always look forward to eat despite the fact that it has lots of bones.
But this time, Goodah!!! has made our dining experience more convenient by offering us this Lenten season, their Boneless Bangus. It was prepared into four equal cuts, fried to crispy perfection with bunch of veggies like kangkong (water spinach), raddish, red tomatoes, okra, string beans and green finger chili. Ohhh of course not to forget the soury and flavorful miso soup especially made by Goodah!!!
Bangus or milkfish is one versatile fish. We could just fry it plainly or marinate it with vinegar, crushed garlic, pepper, salt and a little sugar to taste then split it open (daing) then fry, we can even have it stuffed (rellenong bangus), smoked (tinapa), and of course have it cooked like Sinigang. Taking out the bones out was quite a tough act that's why, I am so happy that Goodah!!! has made this Sinigang na Boneless Bangus sa Miso. It's also perfect for this Lenten season when meat dishes are limited for thosr who are fasting or abstaining.
Lenten season or not, Goodah!!!'s new dish BBM or the Sinigang na Boneless Bangus sa Miso can be best paired to another Goodah!!!'s well-love Lumpiang Shanghai and plain rice!
This is what I call Goodah-rrific!!!
The Sinigang na BBM (Boneless Bangus Miso) is only Php199.00 for ala Carte and if you're dining with your family or friends of 2-3, you can avail it for Php229.00 with rice and drinks included! Such a recommendation, you get to eat savory Filipino dish at a very reasonable price. For now, this new dish will be running and offered in all seven Goodah!!! branches for around three months or it depends.
Enjoy eating amazing peeps!!!
Boy Abunda
Goodah!!! continues to treat Filipinos to culinary discoveries with this new "Sinigang sa Miso Boneless Bangus," much like their recent popular food offerings: Krispy, Crispy Pata and Bulalugaw. And Goodah!!! has been doing this for more than 30 years, as seen in their coined acronym dishes like Tapsilog, Tosi, Longsi and many others that have become a ubiquitous part of popular Filipino meals today--- and each one is "Pagkaing Good for Every-All."
Hope you could watch this video recorded during the BBM intimate launch.

La Plagne 2017
From 11th to 18th March twenty skiers, snowboarders and guides from ASD went to La Plagne on a combined trip with SSCD skiers and guides. Fresh snow from the previous week, followed by 6 days of sunshine and blue skies – what more could we want? Definitely suncream and plenty of water was the order of the day.
We stayed at the Hotel Terra Nova which was 50 metres to the nearest lift and right on the edge of the nursery slope. Each day we set out from the hotel in small groups exploring different areas of the mountain, highlights among the younger members included the Fun run, which was full of rollers and jumps, and drinking hot chocolate at the Bergerie while listening to live music. In addition, we all enjoyed the extensive skiing and views towards Mont Blanc in one direction and Courchevel in the other.
ASD members also swept the board in the end of week awards with Ian Bain receiving the most improved skier, Paul Dench the guides award, Mike Nell the most improved snowboarder and not forgetting Adrian Carey's award for the best trousers!
All the ASD skiers made fantastic progress whilst having lots of laughs both on and off the slopes, as well as making new friends. A big thank you to everyone involved in the organisation of the trip. For photos of the trip please visit the Gallery page.

A few months or more ago I raised, on these comment threads, a particular issue about Benghazi (or more accurately repeated that others has raised it); I asked about what the CIA's role in the whole thing was. To a person, conservatives here on these threads accused me of trying to protect a lying President by distracting from those lies. Then today I read this in Jack Kelly's column: "We don't know what CIA operatives at the Benghazi annex were doing. We do know extraordinary measures have been taken to keep them from talking about it."
Sorry Jack, you are how many yeas too late to the party. The Obama administration got the guy responsible for Benghazi. If you want to say that he could tell conservatives about the Obama administration doing an "ran-Contra scandal on steroids" but you don't think it will happen unless he is released into the custody of Fox News, you go right on and say that.
Apparently he will be a defendant in an ordinary criminal trial, so what he says will be a matter a public record. Now why we couldn't have captured rather than executed bin Laden and done this is beyond me, but this time the Obama administration is trying something new. So I am sure Khattala will have the opportunity to chat bout "ran-Contra scandal on steroids" if he so chooses.
Past my initial comment is a "lively" back and forth between me and a conservative commenter.

text: I searched the support forum for "Sound" and didn't see anything that matches my problem exactly. Droid Razr Maxx When I'm playing music, games, etc, the sound will cut out completely for about 2-5 seconds, and then come back on. This happens about once every 10 minutes now, sometimes more, sometimes less. It happens when I'm playing through bluetooth and also from the phone speaker or from headphones, so it must be software related. At first I thought it might be a notification that was silent or something, but I can't seem to find anything that would indicate that, it's really getting annoying now.

Jewellery stolen in Flamborough break-in
Watches, jewellery and camera equipment were stolen during a break in at a property in Bempton Lane, Flamborough.
Officers investigating the break-in are appealing for information about the incident, which is believed to have happened between 5pm on Friday, July 29 and 9am on Saturday, July 30.
Police say the thieves got in through a rear window and made an untidy search of a bedroom.
Five people rescued by Flamborough RNLI
Flamborough RNLI rescued five people who had been cut off the tide around the North Landing area yesterday.
Lifeboat volunteers were called out at 6.44pm to reports of three people left stranded.
However, upon arrival at the West Scar area of North Landing, they found five people were in need of assistance.
Once all the casualties were accounted for, the lifeboat evacuated them safely from the rocks onto the beach.
"Always check the tide times before you venture out along the rocks and in the caves and never judge the length of time you have left to get back to the beach by just looking at the waterline, the tide moves very quickly and it can be very deceptive. Visit RNLI.org/RespectTheWater to learn more about how to stay safe at the beach, near open water and on the water."
£2,000 worth of 'snap on' tools stolen in East Yorkshire

Dippers wanted for Flamborough Boxing Day dip
The annual Flamborough Pre-School Boxing Day Dip is celebrating its sixth anniversary this year. Organisers are calling on more brave volunteers to take part in the dip to raise money for the Flamborough Pre-School. This year, participants are being encouraged to dress in Hawaiian themed fancy dress.
Each year the event has grown in popularity and we are delighted that it has now become part of the festive calendar for the local community whilst helping raise vital funds for the Pre-school. We want Boxing Day to be a day that local people really look forward to, full of lots of community activity and traditions.
Sudden death at Bempton Cliffs in Flamborough
Police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found in the water off Bempton Cliffs, Flamborough.

Flamborough's Boxing Day Dip
Support for the fifth Flamborough Boxing Day Dip is growing as residents and community groups get ready to brave the North Sea in aid of the local Pre-school.
The Flamborough Pre-School Boxing Day Dip has become an integral part of the Christmas festivities for many local residents and visiting supporters alike. Organisers hope that this year's dip will create an even bigger splash of cash for the local Pre-school.
This year former Flamborough woman, Hannah Emmerson, 22 has travelled from Australia , where she has lived for the past two years, to take part.
Hannah attended the Pre-School, and whenever she's back for Christmas, the Boxing Day dip is something she likes take part in.
We want Boxing Day to be a day that local people and visitors really look forward to, full of lots of community activity and traditions.

Video: lucky sheep survives rescue - and pneumonia
RSPCA: Sheep rescue didn't "quite go to plan"
The RSCPA say the rescue at Flamborough yesterday "didn't quite go to plan".
The Jacob Ewe, which slipped down a cliff face at Thornwick Bay, is making a good recovery.
The RSPCA's North of England rope rescue teams met local RSPCA inspectors at the scene and began a four hour rescue operation.
"The sheep, a big Jacob ewe, had been stuck on a ledge some 40ft down the 100ft cliff face since Monday so we were keen to get to her.
"I'd been monitoring her all day on Tuesday and she was still on the ledge but by the time the team arrived she had managed to get down to a bit of beach which was cut off by water, an even more dangerous spot to be in.
"Two of our rope team officers abseiled down to her and it was hoped they'd catch her and we'd be able to winch her back up but things didn't go quite to plan.
"Another of the rope team officers rushed around and rescued her but she had been in the water some time and was very cold. We were worried she might not make it through the night."
The sheep was running around on the sand and ended up in the water in her attempts to avoid capture, swimming around to the next bay before being washed up, exhausted, on the beach."It's a great outcome for all involved and we're very grateful for the assistance of the RNLI and the Coastguard too, who were both on standby should they be needed."
The body of a second sheep was found, presumed drowned, on the beach, and a third in a nearby cave.

For a subtle, about town look, the Specialized Sonomas are a perfect choice; their sole has an inverse tread, with holes cut into the sole rather than raised grips, and even though the sole looks a bit smooth it's fine for off the bike, though probably more for walking on pavements than rocky paths.
The sole's pretty stiff too, so though the Sonomas wouldn't be a first choice for a hike'n'bike, for pure cycling they're great.
Two Velcro closures mean quick fastening, but if your feet are on the wide side, or you have a high instep, you might struggle to get a firm fastening with the shortish straps. Ours came undone while walking.
The leather toe offers extra protection, which is nice, though they could do with some reflectives, especially as they're aimed at city riding.
Sizing seemed spot on – which is good if you're buying online.

New "Terminator 5" Story Details Emerge
Posted: June 3rd, 2011 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Arnold Schwarzenegger recently revealed that he has put all his film projects on hold until he figures out the mess he got himself into after having a child with the maid. But this isn't stopping Megan Ellison from pushing forward with a new "Terminator" movie, since she just won a bidding war to acquire the franchise.
"Fast Five" director Justin Lin is already on board, and he is going from studios to studio pitching his vision for "Terminator 5." Apparently, Universal Pictures is very interest, but a deal has yet to be made.
What's Playing website has learned that the new story will have a big part for Schwarzenegger, who has already attached himself to the project. It will have a twist on the original timeline, and will have a new, younger male lead. The site claims that Paul Walker's name keeps coming up during discussions.
Walker may end up playing Kyle Reese. And while we previously heard that the original cast will be returning, it's starting to look like the original characters are returning, but will have different actors playing them. Stay tuned.

PLEASE for the love of god dont cast Paul Walker in T5! Arnold should be the lead. Nuff said.
on June 3rd, 2011 at 8:56:42 PM
Situation Normal, All f*cked Up.
That's all I can manage to say. Terrible, terrible f*cking news.
on June 3rd, 2011 at 9:03:58 PM
franchise went downhill after t2 ...such a shame.
on June 3rd, 2011 at 9:05:16 PM
Walker as Kyle Reese? I can already predict the "Michael Biehn>>>>>Paul Walker" posts on here a year from now when the trailer for this is released.
on June 3rd, 2011 at 9:08:28 PM
I don't think Arnold can do this film. Terminators don't wear diapers.
on June 3rd, 2011 at 9:15:21 PM
Hahahhahaa I don't know why u all sound surprised.its justin Lin directing no sh*t.
A surfer Kyle reese.when I thought it couldn't get worse than mcg.was I proved wrong
That's what u f*ckers get for watching fast five.eat it Biatches
on June 3rd, 2011 at 9:50:58 PM
Great Justin Lin as the director
Since it looks like Paul Walker will be in this, we can probably expect him to do some outlandish unreal stunts that otherwise would be the end of someone.
Just like we saw in the Fast 5 when they jumped from an 800 ft bridge and survived, yeah right LIN.

Paul Walker in Part 5 ? Isn't that like putting the corpse of Verne Troyer in it ? I mean, we'd get the same screen presence from either Paul Walker trying to not have to resort to his nasally, mugging character from the Fast and the Fublicious series or from the rotting, rigor mortis'd corpse of Verne Troyer.
Oh, and far as Governator Flabbytits, I don't see how much more embarrassing it could get then to stick his rapidly steroid decaying body into it, just to watch him disentagrate into a parody of himself. I mean, at least when Stallone was packing on the pounds for Copland, he was doing it on PURPOSE. Arnold just let time and the pounds of steroid juice pound his body to look like a overly stuffed cross between a Macy Day's parade balloon and Peter Falk's body if it got stung by a stingray and swelled. And God knows his dialect wouldn't be able to help him through a f*cking action movie without subtitles.

Hey Paul,
if you think you're Rob Lowe and that the young p*ssy will follow you to every f*cking movie you do, you're wrong. DEAD wrong.
At least Rob Lowe oozes charisma onscreen. All you ooze is a stench that would make Che, Triggax and Jake want to lick the sweat off of your taint, buddy.

Paul Walker = proof that Ryan Phillipe was one lucky son of a bitch.
on June 4th, 2011 at 12:19:06 AM
...and John Connor will be played by Sung Kang.
on June 4th, 2011 at 12:49:45 AM
mierda !!
on June 4th, 2011 at 2:15:52 AM
Is Edward Furlong just to messed up and weird looking to come back? To me having some of the original cast not just arnold, would add the believability that the movie still exist in the terminator universe. I have felt no connection with the original movies with all the new ones, each one just seems like a different robot movie. And please NO women terminators
on June 4th, 2011 at 3:10:32 AM
Reboot,start again with a prequel type robot war then have the basis for Term1 as prt2...cast who you want then...just keep it hardcore and ask for Camerons input. Executive producer or something.
on June 4th, 2011 at 6:27:45 AM
It will end up being Walker as Reese and Vin Diesel as the terminator.
on June 4th, 2011 at 7:14:41 AM
f*ck Paul Walker in his tainted arsehole that c*nt!
on June 4th, 2011 at 9:32:03 AM
yeah keep bitching about walker maybe we wont see him as reese then.
on June 4th, 2011 at 11:03:57 AM
"It will end up being Walker as Reese and Vin Diesel as the terminator."
very likely IMO.
on June 4th, 2011 at 11:47:17 AM
Same characters and same timeline but different actors playing them. So a REMAKE of the first Terminator?
on June 4th, 2011 at 4:23:41 PM
"a twist on the timeline" this cant be good. just look at what a mess sarah connor chronicles made of the timeline
on June 5th, 2011 at 4:46:06 AM
you should go on where T:S ended and introduce the development of the T1000 and the time travel stuff. and make the war more brutal. We havent really been seeing war yet.
"It will have a twist on the original timeline"
what the f*ck is wrong with the original time line? the f*ckin machines tried to change the past already dont do that!!
if you do that then f*ck you Justin Lin! you will end up with a worse movie than McG did.
on June 6th, 2011 at 9:45:18 PM
Either Reboot the series or continue it after T2

Important Topics for IBPS RRB 2017
Dear students, we are providing you all with every important topic that you cannot give the cold shoulder to. Bear it in mind that your hard work will bear fruits only when you prepare all the topics well regardless of what is important and what isn't. The pattern of all the banking examinations has now been showing extreme vacillations and the fight for government jobs is getting hard every year. So, bankersadda is providing you with all the important topics from every section that is asked in RRB PO and Office Assistant Examination.
Quantitative Aptitude
• Data Interpretation
Data and Interpretation is an essential part of any banking examination, be it IBPS or IBPS RRB. Almost one-fourth of the total questions asked in the Quantitative Aptitude Section in RRB are based on DI. We hope now you know how important it is not to give a cold shoulder to this particular topic. The usual pattern of DI questions has always been based on Ratio and Proportion, Percentage, Average, and Profit and Loss, but this year we observed a change in the pattern when DI questions asked were based on Time and Work and a few more topics from Arithmetic. So, be well prepared with these topics so as to deal with DI without panicking. The other most important job is to be excellent at calculation because all that you need to do in DI is calculation and if you lag here, this section can prove to be a can of worms for you.
• Inequality
The other most important topic for IBPS RRB Quant section is Inequality. The number of expected questions on this particular topic is 5-10. There is a possibility of two types of questions on this topic. First is the usual concept of Quadratic Equations and Second is the new pattern of Quantity 1 and Quantity 2 where the questions asked are based on Profit and Loss, Average, Mensuration, etc and you will have the compare the two quantities based on the solutions obtained. So students, be well prepared with Quadratic Equations to cross that bridge when you come to it. Also, be well prepared with the topics from Arithmetic Portion as the new pattern questions can be asked too is a possibility.
• Number Series
Number Series is an equally important topic for IBPS RRB Exam. The number of expected questions from this topic is also 5. The number series are mostly based on two patterns, Uniform and Non-Uniform Pattern: The uniform pattern may have series based on Addition, Subtraction, Prime Numbers, Squares, Cubes, Decimals, etc. The non-uniform pattern may include the series based mixed pattern of the topics mentioned for the uniform pattern. The only way to deal with this section is practice. The more you practice, the more easily you recognize the pattern of series.
• Simplification and Approximation
The number of expected questions on this topic is 5-10. This can be the simplest part to deal with if you are good at calculations. So be fast with calculations and keep practicing, it will always stand you in good stead. The important trick to deal with this section is to remember the VBODMAS Rule and have all the tables, cubes, squares entirely grasped.
• Puzzles
The puzzle is the most important topic of Reasoning Section as the number of expected questions from this topic is 10-20. Most of the other miscellaneous topics too are being asked in the form of puzzles only. The puzzles now being asked are very lengthy, complex and even calculation based. Earlier students used to have a mindset of ignoring the complex puzzles, thereby solving the other questions that were comparatively easy. But to their dismay, this strategy won't be working anymore as so many questions from the other topics like directions, etc. are being asked in the form of puzzles only. So, be prepared for billets from the blues in this section. Keep practicing, this is the only way out to deal with puzzles.
• Syllogism
The number of expected questions on this topic is 5-6. The questions can be based on the usual old pattern as well as the new pattern of Reverse Syllogism in which the conclusion is given in the question and you have to choose the correct statements for that particular conclusion. It is one of the easiest and scoring topics so prepare it well and you will be able to bag 5 marks very easily in Reasoning Ability Section.
• Data Sufficiency
The questions based on data sufficiency can have 2 or 3 statements based on the difficulty level of the questions. If asked, there will be a total of 3-5 questions on this topic.
• Logical Reasoning
The number of expected questions on this topic is 5-6. The questions asked in this section are based on cause and effect, a course of action, assumptions and conclusions, strength of arguments, inference, etc. The level of questions has always been moderate so you can easily attempt the questions without wasting much of time on them.
• Reading Comprehension
The pattern of RC is almost the same. The topics of RC may be based on banking, finance and economy. It is a significant topic as the number of expected questions is 15. Reading Comprehension is generally easy when compared to other questions asked in the English Language Section. The point to be noted here is that it is always lengthy and this is the reason why it should be attempted in the end.
• Cloze test
This is also a very important topic for English Section. The number of expected questions on this topic is 5. This is also a scoring topic if you prepare it well.
• Sentence errors/Improvements/Fillers
These miscellaneous topics are also very important as the number of questions that can be asked on them is 5 on each topic. These topics are not so time-consuming so one should choose to start the English Language Section with these questions only.
General Awareness
Most of the students are scared of this section as it is the only section which so vast that one cannot set its limits. So students, prepare all the current affairs from last 3-4 months, Static Awareness that is available on Bankersadda and GA capsule to make the grade in this particular section.
The important topics to be done in this section are Basics of Computer Hardware and Software, Internet, Computer Input/Output Devices, Computer Organisation, History and Generation, and Abbreviations and Shortcut keys.
So students, work hard, keep practicing. Not many days are left for your preparations, do what you feel is best for you and your career. We hope this list of important topics will help you with your preparations for RRB 2017. All the best for the examinations!!

Fabric sampling is an expensive process. Very often, machinery has to be taken out of production for sampling, and time that is not being used to make saleable products on expensive machinery is costly. Money tied up in sample stocks is also money that cannot be recouped.

SINGAPORE - (THE NEW PAPER) Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is a star in the food world and this has resulted in heightened expectations of his new restaurant Bread Street Kitchen, which serves British European fare.
But based on early reviews, its reputation is shinier than its food. I was able to confirm that when I turned up unannounced a week after it opened. I was impressed by the service, less so by what they served.
I shared my thoughts with my circle of trusted foodies and they responded with the same: It was not worth the money.
A month after it opened, I was invited back. The food was better but still not spectacular.
But that hasn't stopped Bread Street Kitchen from packing in the crowds. Good luck trying to get a table without reservations. Sometimes it's really just about the chef.
For me, the star dish is the slow-roasted Dingley Dell pork belly ($28), with a crispy and almost hard skin. It was delicious both times I tried it. What gives this dish its edge is the spiced apple puree.
The tamarind spiced chicken wings ($18) have an aromatic coating of spices, but the chicken was overcooked the first time. It was better on my return visit - but not by much.
The potted salt beef brisket ($18) was fragrant but the taste was overwhelmed by the mustard. The beef was also dry and almost stringy.
I was wrong when I thought the Brits could never mess up fish and chips ($26). The first time I ate this, there was a horrible taste of stale oil in the batter, like they had re-fried it. It had improved on my return visit though.
I enjoyed the flatbread ($20). It is a simple dish with a savoury topping. A good starter that should please all.
Bread Street Kitchen
L1-81, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands
Opening hours: 11.30am-10pm (Sunday to Wednesday); 11.30am-2am (Thursday to Saturday)
Te: 6688-5665

From GE Podcast Theater and Panoply, the producers of The Message, comes a new thriller, LifeAfter. The 10 episode series follows Ross, a low level employee at the FBI, who spends his days conversing online with his wife Charlie – who died eight months ago. But the technology behind this digital resurrection leads Ross down a dangerous path that threatens his job, his own life, and maybe even the world. New episodes every Sunday.

Now on the run from the FBI, Ross finds his way to the secret location of LifeAfter's horrifying endgame, where he has to make a fateful decision.
33 Min
Dec 23, 2016
Torn between Charlie and the FBI, Ross must choose where his loyalties lie. The taskforce's desperation to find the missing cultists leads Octavia into a brutal confrontation with Sasha.
Ross, Brynne, and Octavia abduct Shannon in a bid to learn more about the nature of their adversary. But then Charlie reaches out through Ross's phone, offering a stunning revelation about the man behind LifeAfter.
Ross must embark on a dangerous undercover mission into the heart of the LifeAfter community, in the process learning who is truly pulling the strings of the conspiracy.
Now a double-agent spying on LifeAfter for the FBI, Ross struggles to win the trust of one of Sasha's top human allies, the menacingly genial Paul.
Imprisoned by the FBI and separated from Charlie's voice, Ross desperately tries to keep his secrets and his sanity under intense interrogation by Brynne Cutler.
Ross discovers spying on the FBI is a lot harder than it looks, as he tries to steal secrets from quirky computer scientist Octavia Roth. His subterfuge leads him to a horrifying discovery and even greater peril.
As the voice of Sasha turns up the pressure on Ross to reveal FBI secrets, he must make an agonizing choice.
At first Ross is overjoyed to be reunited with the voice of his lost wife Charlie. But her increasingly strange behavior leads him to a stunning discovery.
Since low-level FBI clerk Ross Barnes lost his wife to a car accident, he's consoled himself by listening to her voice-posts on an audio social media website. When he hears something eerie and shocking while listening to her messages, it turns his...
New messages are starting to pop up all around the world that have one very odd thing in common – the people who are talking are no longer alive. But in an age where so much of our lives are recorded, posted, and saved, can we ever really die?

Holiday Sales – one game system – countless worlds – endless adventure
If Thanksgiving Day is here already, that means Christmas is a scant 4 weeks away and the holiday gift buying season jumps off this weekend with Black Friday sales quickly followed by Cyber-Monday. Please don't forget about Palladium Books® this holiday season. We've got sales too.
Palladium has 3 BIG Sales going on this weekend
1. Palladium's Black Friday Sale is NOW thru Tuesday – Our Black Friday and Cyber-Monday sales start right now. Almost ALL Rifts® books and metal miniatures are on sale starting NOW through Tuesday, November 27, 2018.
2. Palladium PDF Sale NOW till Tuesday morning on DriveThruRPG.com – Most Palladium PDFs are available at a 33% discount for awesome savings – offer ends Tuesday morning, November 27, 2018.
3. Christmas Surprise Packages have been delighting gamers for 20 years. Each book is signed by me and available staff and freelancers if you want autographs. I do not believe I have sent out a Surprise Package with less than $95 worth of product – most have been closer to $100 or more! Our holiday season gift to you. And if you are lucky, you may be able to turn items from ONE Surprise Package into gifts for 2-3 gamers in your life. With only four weeks till Christmas, time is starting to run out, so please tell everyone you know! Offer ends December 24, 2018.
4. Plus a sale at Kevin's Ebay store – http://stores.ebay.com/kevinstoys-artandcollectibles – though technically not a "Palladium sale," you can find original art by Charles Walton II, Kevin Long, and other artists, as well as Palladium collectibles from my (Kevin Siembieda's) personal archives, signed books, one-of-a-kind book negatives, action figures and toys, all on sale now through Tuesday.
Note: If you are ordering books or Christmas Surprise Packages as gifts for the holidays – please remember to allow a week for shipping (more if ordering via Media Mail). That means it is really more like THREE weeks till Christmas and Kwanzaa, and a little more than a week till Hanukkah.
AVAILABLE Now – 3 fun RPG books back in stock for the first time in decades – but just for the Holidays
- Systems Failure™ RPG – Yep, the complete, whacked out game of survival and alien invasion. 144 pages – $22.99 retail – Cat. No. 650. Available now.
- Shadows of Light™ – A Nightbane® sourcebook – 160 pages – $22.99 retail – Cat. No. 734. Available now.
- Boxed Nightmares™ – A sourcebook for Beyond the Supernatural™ 1st Edition rules, but easily adapted to BTS, 2nd Edition. Mostly adventures and adventure ideas. 112 pages – $17.99 retail – Cat. No. 701. Available now.
Just for the holidays, Palladium is doing a limited short-run of three out-of-print titles that have been out of print for years. Two of them have been out of print for decades! We are printing enough that they should be available now thru December, and probably into January – available only while supplies last – so order 'em while you can. All are available in Palladium's online store and will be considered as requests in Christmas Surprise Packages while supplies last. We expect to print enough to get us through the holiday season. Enjoy. Ho, ho, ho.
Only 4 Weeks till Christmas – Order your Palladium Christmas Surprise Package NOW!
Can you believe it? It's that time again for the Palladium Christmas Surprise Package offer. Palladium Books® has been doing Christmas Surprise Packages, or "Grab Bags," for 20 years! And what a great tradition it has become.
It enables you to get several RPG titles ($90-$100 worth) for ONLY $46 (plus shipping and handling) as gifts for others or for yourself. It is our way of saying thank you to our many fans for being so kind and patient, and for your years of support. You are appreciated more than you may realize.
Christmas Surprise Packages are not just for Christmas. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the Winter Solstice, or you're looking for that special gift for a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or any special occasion that falls between now and February, a Surprise Package may be the ideal way to go. You get a ton of stuff on the cheap, you can get a bunch of autographs (if you want 'em), and you look like you spent a fortune.
This is also a great way to try that game setting you've wondered about (Splicers®, Dead Reign®, Chaos Earth®, Palladium Fantasy®, Nightbane®, Mechanoid Invasion®, Rifts®, After the Bomb®, etc.), or to get something for your favorite Game Master. Or perhaps, to get your player group to consider a new game or setting.
Your "Wish List" is vital – The Palladium Surprise Packages are designed to simulate the joy and surprise of the Christmas Season of Giving. To do this, you submit a list of 12-15 Palladium products (or more) FOR EACH Surprise Package you order. This list of 12-15 items for EACH Grab Bag is critical, because you will not know which items we will select to send you. That makes it just like a Christmas gift because it's a surprise. Plus, Santa Kevin, who personally hand-picks every item for every Grab Bag, may toss in something extra like a limited edition print, or color maps, or T-shirt, or issue of The Rifter®, or something else he thinks you'll enjoy.
Autographed books. For those of you who want them (which are most people), available members of the Palladium staff, and any freelancers we can lasso at the time, are happy to autograph each and every book in your Surprise Package. This is the only way many fans, especially those in other countries, can EVER get signed books.
Send us your brief comments. There is a special form and format to fill out for Christmas Surprise Packages, including a place where you can offer your brief comments, suggestions, greetings and salutations.
It only costs $46 plus shipping to get $90-$100+ worth of Palladium products! First-timers are always nervous until they see the great value in their first Surprise Package. A typical Grab Bag has $90-$100 worth of product, sometimes more! Yes, sometimes more. Many people order 2-3. Some order 4-6, and some maniacs order even more! It makes sense, because it is a great way to fill holes in your own collection, treat yourself, get autographs, try new games and settings, and get your gaming pals gifts. PLEASE spread the word about this great offer.
To those of you outside the USA, the X-Mas Surprise Package is a way to get books and circumvent the damn high cost of shipping from the United States. Since you are getting $90-$100 worth of product and only paying $46 plus a small handling charge, shipping via Priority Mail International (required for packages weighing more than four pounds) to most locations in Europe, Canada and many other countries is around $50-$60 US dollars. HOWEVER, because the cost of the product is so low, that's the equivalent of paying retail for the products and only $0-$30 for shipping. A very good deal. Plus you get autographs if you want them! X-Mas Surprise Packages are the way to go for those of you outside the USA. Please take advantage of it to get all those products you've wished you could get except the shipping was too prohibitive. We feel your pain. Game on!
IMPORTANT NOTE: The X-Mas Surprise Package is a Grab Bag. As such, while we always try to send you items from your Wish List, you may NOT get everything you ask for and you are likely to get one or more items NOT on your list, like The Rifter®, or other item(s) we think you should enjoy. PLEASE give us a long Wish List and fill out other questions (favorite Palladium games, would like to try X, and so on) because it helps us to make your Surprise Package special. If you need or want specific items, do NOT use the Surprise Package; place a regular order at full retail to guarantee you get the books you want. Offer ends December 24, 2018.
Please tell everyone about the Christmas Surprise Packages. We want to put smiles on the faces of gamers around the world.
UPDATE: The Rifter® #82 – ships November 26
The Rifter® #82 is at the printer, but we have not gotten the ship date confirmed. We know our printer is slammed with work and on an extended turnaround schedule, but we still anticipate The Rifter® #82 to ship next week. You can see a FREE Sneak Preview of it on DriveThruRPG right now.
The Rifter® #82 is epic. Most of it is "official" source material and fun as can be: the reprinted Wujcik gaming advice, the Pyromancer O.C.C., the 50+ Pyromancy spells, the HU2 and Nightbane material, the preview monsters from Rifts® Bestiary, it's all top-notch and fodder for adventure. Numerous people who have seen the proofreader's copy have said the Erick Wujcik Remembrance is wonderful. Some said part of it brought tears to their eyes, while other parts made them chuckle and smile. All of it is a celebration of life and imagination. So I highly recommend The Rifter® #82 to everyone. The preview is up and available on DriveThruRPG.
The Rifter® #82 contains official source material for the Rifts® Bestiary™ Volume One (a sneak preview of just a few old and new monsters and animals), official source material for Rifts® Chaos Earth® (Pyromancer, 50+ Pyromancer spells, the Zone Twister, notable characters, and adventure ideas), official source material for Nightbane® (age modifiers and tables for selecting skills based on a Nightbane's age, and more), an expanded revisit of the Physical Training character for Heroes Unlimited™, gaming advice from Erick Wujcik, a historically significant, fun and touching Remembrance of Erick Wujcik, 10 years after his death, some cool photos too, plus news and more.
- 112 pages – $14.99 retail – Cat. No. 182. Ships November 26, maybe sooner. See the new and updated description elsewhere in this Update.
In Production ...
The Rifts® Bestiary Volume One, In the Face of Death™ for Dead Reign®, The Rifts® Bestiary™ Volume Two, Garden of the Gods™, Chaos Earth® Psychic Scream™, Rifts® Antarctica, The Rifter® #83 and #84, The Disavowed and much more is in the pipeline and being worked on. Plus a couple of surprises. But this is Thanksgiving Weekend so we are going to try to keep this update short.

New: Dead Reign® Paper Miniatures Volume One: Survivors is the first in a series of new paper miniatures from Michael Leonard. There are also paper miniatures for Heroes Unlimited™, Palladium Fantasy® and Rifts®.

You know what would be terrible? If the laws of Georgia were publicly available for free, online. Worse still, would be if this freely available copy was in an easy to search format and made more accessible to people who are visually impaired.
At least, that's what a lawsuit against Carl Malamud and his nonprofit Public.Resource.org from the State of Georgia, implies.
Malamud, a public domain advocate, put copies of the annotated laws of Georgia on his website Public.Resource.org, as part of a campaign to make sure federal and state laws are actually available in an accessible format to the public. The State of Georgia is suing.
The lawsuit, which claims Malamud's actions are causing "severe and irreparable harm" and are part of a "strategy of terrorism," describes the act of making Georgia's annotated code publicly available in disturbing detail:
"Defendant further presented copies of the O.C.G.A. including copyrighted annotations on at least one Internet website…that attracts citizens from Georgia as viewers and actively encourages all such individuals to copy, use, and disseminate to others in Georgia and elsewhere, and to create derivative works of the O.C.G.A."
Yes, Georgia citizens are being actively encouraged to view, use and disseminate the laws that govern us! With the help of an internet website, no less.
It gets worse.
Malamud put copies of the annotated code on thumb drives and mailed them to members of the State Legislature.
In an accompanying letter to Speaker of the House David Ralston, Malamud describes a desire to "promote access to the law," and ensure that all Georgians, "have ready access to the laws that govern them," citing legal opinions that reaffirm how important access to law is, and that that material should not be copyrightable.
This act is also covered in the lawsuit.
"Defendant [Malamud] deliberately and willfully distributed USB thumb drives containing scanned copies of Plaintiff's Copyrighted Annotations to members of the State of Georgia Legislature."
Lord, protect us from this travesty.
All Georgians with an internet connection can access this cumbersome interface to read the Georgia Code in it's most basic form. But, the much more helpful annotated version, is only available from LexisNexis for $378. This version includes additional information about how the law has been interpreted by the Attorney General and in various legal decisions. In other words, it provides important context about how the law has actually been interpreted and enforced, and not just the statutory language.
On Tuesday, Malamud filed to have the lawsuit dismissed, saying:
"The law belongs to the people. The O.C.G.A., including its annotations, is Georgia's only official Code. No claim of copyright can or should be used to prohibit its distribution. Making the O.C.G.A. free, available and useable to all allows everyone, whether he or she is a lawyer or layperson, journalist, teacher or student, part of a nonprofit charitable entity or a multinational corporation, or merely a concerned citizen—everyone—to better understand, use, and comply with the law."
The State of Georgia's lawsuit perhaps shouldn't come as a surprise. If you've ever been under the Gold Dome, you know the transparency and accessibility of Georgia's laws and lawmaking process is pretty awful.
Unfortunately, transparency and accessibility will continue to be non-priorities of the State of Georgia, and this legal battle is going to continue.

This past month I had the pleasure of attending a very informative conference on the future of HBCUs and how this new financial landscape will shape the very core of these institutions. This country is going through some very tough times and our institutions of higher learning will be subject to some of the same scrutiny and analysis that some of our financial institutions have been forced to undergo since the beginning of this economic crisis. In short, our beloved HBCUs are being forced to adjust to this changing environment like many other institutions and organizations both non-profit and for profit. These tough economic times require strong leadership, effective management and strategic planning. These elements are historically found in your premier business organizations but these elements are essential to maintaining any top tier organization. The conference did a wonderful job in addressing these elements in a way to provide some much needed light to the participants so many thanks to Andrea Harris, the wonderful staff of the NCIMED, and the collaborative array of organizations and associations that contributed to this very informative event. Critical to the future of our beloved HBCUs will be how well we position ourselves in this new financial environment and how well we effectively utilize our resources to make adjustments accordingly.
This notion of positioning has its roots in strategy and vision. In order to properly plan you must have a vision with a solid strategy in place. A clear vision without a solid strategy amounts to having mud on your windshield. A solid strategy without a clear vision amounts to having a full tank of gas without a car to drive. Proper positioning allows you to use your inherent strengths in order to gain a competitive advantage over your competition. This enables you to become more centrally focused on the elements that will help drive and sustain enrollment. Subsequently, this level of enhanced focus will also allow you the time to shore up areas of opportunity that can further enhance your definitive strengths as an organization. A good example of this would be an institution that is well-known for engineering. The strength would be attracting students that have an interest in engineering. Some opportunities here would be strengthening of the math department, offering a certificate in management science for those students willing to take a few core classes in business, developing a joint degree with the business school, and offering an accelerated masters program that would allow those engineering students to obtain their enhanced degree via a five year program. As you can see proper positioning can have substantial long-term benefits and it is important to note that positioning is an ongoing process that evolves over time. This evolution occurs as the organization becomes more complex and dynamic in nature.
Although positioning is extremely important, it may even be second to effective utilization of resources. Nothing may be more important to an organization than effective management of the available resources. Everything from the human capital to the fixed capital is extremely important to the success of an organization. At times it becomes extremely difficult for organizational leadership to analyze their respective positions and make appropriate recommendations. It is not problematic to know that you have a problem. However it is dangerous to know you have a problem and you do not engage your resources to assist you with making the necessary changes. It is here whereby I recommend engaging some professional consulting services to better assist your organization with effective utilization of resources. This 'second set of eyes' can reinforce what you already know to be true, provide invaluable insight that could prove to be extremely beneficial, and make change recommendations to better prepare your organization for what the future may bring. This value proposition ties directly into the core principals of BWC Consulting: Empower. Elevate. Enlarge. We feel that it is our responsibility to be active change elements and use our knowledge and expertise to assist those that desire and dare to excel. The HBCU community should take comfort in knowing that they have a partner and trusted financial advisor in BWC Consulting.

I ensured to align myself with his group after i joined. He's always obtainable by phone, and provides constant and good instruction. He is a pretty busy guy these days with all of his responsibilities with Numis System, which just bought him a car. In fact, you can check out the sound from Ray's promotion to 6-Star with Numis Network right here.
Exactly where he shines is in providing consistent training - via their blog. He's also a great video marketer.
And that he has a solid background in real estate investments.
He also writes some great emails about Numis. So he's creative. And he's persistent in promoting Numis Network, which is cool.
The nice thing about a binary, is that you simply get good assistance from upline as well as downline. And working with me, you'll get complete access to Ray Higdon for closes, validation and even training.
Exactly what do you say about a guy who seemingly, has been chasing the American dream all his life. Ray Higdon calls himself a created entrepreneur and looking from his history I don't see any reason in order to argue the point.
If you, at twelve years of age, are stopping by the store on the way to school so you can buy "Airhead" candies, then re-sell them to your class mates at a profit, what's in order to argue?
It seems also that a lot of success-minded people, on their way to that success, take a detour through the grocery company. I knew a lot of people in that business and the majority of them had been that way.
Here's the difference though. Being in a position and seeing that, if done right, you can make a pretty good career of it will be satisfying to most people. However for a select few just about all they see is being "stuck". The money might be pretty good but.
Well how about a great paying government job? Not just any "gubmint" work but one that pays close to 100K a year, has incomparable medical benefits and you can retire at what, 50 or even 55? Retire along with virtually the same salary as you were making when you were operating!
Nah, he says. I'm still limited. I'm still just making what they are prepared to pay me. I've reached do for myself. I've got to find a way where my personal money is only limited by me. County government, insurance company.it's all the same if you don't control your own future.
Ray got himself into the real estate company where he became a landlord of several properties but, understandably, being a landlord can take it's toll.
Forget about he told himself. I'll limit my involvement within the real estate transaction. Which, if you don't know, indicates "flipping" properties. Getting control of a property, finding a purchaser for it and promoting it at a revenue. Not bad as long as the actual economy is support you up.
One thing you cannot keep from doing in any line of business is actually learning. Ray Higdon learned that he could not just market real estate on the internet but that he could teach others to do it.
Oh yes! Got it made now. Traveling the nation speaking to people as well as teaching them how you can play the real estate game. No more clogged toilets and broken garbage disposals. "Pretty easy and lucrative heading from city in order to city imparting my personal knowledge for a fee."
Nevertheless, something's not right. Money. Relatively easy work. The reason why am I not really feeling it? What's lacking?
Ascent To Freedom in Network Marketing
My kids! That's what's missing. "I'm controlling the financial part of my life however I don't have any freedom".
Ray had a friend, who he is probably permanently indebted to, who introduced him to network marketing. Now don't misunderstand me. Even with mlm there's a building process which, in the beginning, takes time to get it to the point of freedom.
That's what most people are looking for. In order to do whatever they wish to accomplish whenever they want to do it. Money is great. But if you don't have the freedom and the time to appreciate it, to spend time using the people who matter that you experienced, what good could it be?
Ray Higdon Review has lastly found what he's been looking for. He additionally knows he's not the only 1 who's looking for a lifestyle of freedom. Now he enjoys teaching other people hot to get presently there too.
If you're in the same or comparable boat as Beam was he can show you and, more importantly, aid you in getting to where you want to be.
I have had the great pleasure of seeing Beam Higdon speak several times in the last year the last period was at the "No Excesses Summit" in Las Vegas. Ray's story is full of failure and disappointment which constructed the foundation for Beam to become one of the best producers in the multilevel marketing industry. His enthusiasm is evident and uplifting as a person who continues to be working on a successful group for a couple of years now I have found Ray Higdon to be a first class trainer and coach.
By working smart he has worked his way to the top of his business and his absolutely no excuses style is actually refreshing. Ray believes we are all meant to live an abundant, rewarding as well as fulfilling life. Ray also attributes the majority of his success to the transformational learning taught by Landmark Education. It was there that Ray had a transfer of his thinking instead of proving himself to others He had things i like to call an easy bulb moment. Their thinking process now's owning himself.
I've found it is very rare to find a mentor as active about life as Ray Higdon His capability and willingness to care and genuinely reveal information and knowledge is really refreshing.
Ray has a style that is very cool and full of laughter which keeps the could be marketer engaged within whatever he is presenting. In my humble opinion he is such a excellent example of ethical and hardworking and above all very caring to all that cross his route.
After working online for some time now I have come to believe you must still learn daily. What you can do to find the right info now will exhilarate your learning curve and begin making a real earnings today. Some subjects to study are number one is the funded proposal which simply is learning how to generate an income from individuals who do not take advantage of most of your opportunity.
A huge a part of your business is lead generation each and every successful network marketer has been able to perfect the art of lead generation. Weather that is through the social networks like Facebook, Tweets or pay per click marketing or just talking to individuals on the street.
My blog is dedicated to business energy I have links up trainers and mentors. I offer free training to help you minimize your mistakes and minimize your expenses of becoming a professional network marketer.
The last thing for now is anyone who really wants to succeed has to recognize this is Network marketing and that means you have to be networking constantly. Networking simply means you have to be creating associations, talking to people making value calling people and giving value to everyone you come into contact with.
The bottom line is simple never forget that the more and more people you have relationships along with is in direct proportion to success that you'll achieve do not be afraid conquer your fears and you will have all that you are able to dream of and the life you've always dreamed of.
Beam Higdon is not new to Multi-level marketing but he has by no means succeeded like he's now. When Ray got involved in the Numis Network he'd $300 in his bank account and a troubled Florida property career. Ray was losing everything and really didn't know what he or she was going to do. Turning to the power of the Internet as well as attraction marketing he or she quickly moved to the L4 status in My Lead System Pro (MLSP). Ray is also the #1 income earner in NUMIS winning Five vacations and a $100,Thousand 2011 BMW 7 series.
Ray battled in almost twelve MLM's with limited success. With the training of My lead system pro and attraction advertising Ray has been in a position to recruit over One hundred thirty reps using the Internet in a mere 14 Several weeks. The best part is the duplication of his marketers (personally sponsored) which have turned into over 3600 reps by instructing them a duplicatable system tied to online prospecting.
You'll find Ray really involved in the business these days. He is the presenter on live webinars that occur several times per week and is available by telephone to talk with your potential customers. Ray also does workout sessions during the week. Ray is an incredible speaker and teacher won't tell you to do anything he hasn't done himself. This is a guy that gives back in an enormous way. You can tell Ray is Passionate about exactly what he does.
Ray appears to always be prospecting. He will it on and traditional and is always searching for the next person to talk to. I might guess he personally talks to around Twenty people per day. He has his website about the back of their car, he uses $100.00 bill drop cards in Barnes And Respectable and even puts them in Books. He is not scared of getting a "no" because he understands it gets him or her closer to a yes.
This business currently doesn't have competition and has a product, Gold & Silver that's talked about every single day. Our current economy has produced an incredible amount of prospects.
