Not ready to forget
Translated to English by AnnaEsse from News From My Big Desk
Spanish Translation by Mercedes from Hasta que se Sepa La Verdad
The mysterious disappearance of Madeleine McCann
Madeleine McCann, called Maddie, was nearly four years old. On the evening of May 3rd 2007, she disappeared from her bedroom in a luxury tourist complex, the Ocean Club, in the south of Portugal, where she was supposed to have been sleeping.
No one knows what has become of her since. Recently, the press echoed a statement from the Portuguese prosecutor: case closed. This news is probably unfounded. How can a magistrate, a police officer, allow the closing of a case without thinking of the victim, a child, almost a baby. And if she were alive!...The confusion comes, no doubt, from the order that there were no grounds to prosecute the three suspects.
THE FACTS: The Ocean Club tourist complex is a collection of buildings comprising a residential block, two restaurants, the Tapas and the Millennium, tennis courts, beach, etc.
On this evening, the McCanns are dining with their friends at the Tapas restaurant. At around 10pm, Kate McCann gets up from the table to go and see her children, as she usually does, to reassure herself that everything is fine. Her two little ones, the twins, are sound asleep, in their cots, in the living room*. Her daughter's bedroom door is not closed, which surprises her. She goes in: the window is open, the shutters are raised, Maddie has disappeared. (*It does say, "salon, and appears to be saying that Madeleine is in a different room from the twins. I have translated as it stands. )
She rushes back to the restaurant to alert her husband. Together they go back to the apartment, accompanied by their friends, and they only arrive at the obvious. So, they set out to explore the surrounding area.
This is the situation discovered by the first police officers on the spot. Everything leads them to believe that the child has run off. She may not be far away. Searches are organised.
Shortly afterward, the PJ director for Lisbon, receives a call on his mobile phone from the British ambassador. His caller asks him if he is aware that a British child has disappeared.....He goes into action. You can imagine the torrent of phone calls that follows this intervention.
THE INITIAL FINDINGS: There is no disorder in the bedroom where the child was sleeping. The bed is not disturbed. There is no evidence of a break-in, neither on the window, nor on the shutters, nor on the door. A local enquiry turns up witnesses, Irish holiday-makers, who say that shortly after 10 o'clock, they saw a man carrying a child, whose description corresponds perfectly to Madeleine's: face, hair, clothes. Now there is hardly any doubt: this is an abduction. The alert is put out.
THE PJ'S INVESTIGATION: The PJ officers collect witness statements from hundreds of people, and as a priority, from the parents and their friends. Very quickly, they come across certain contradictions between them. For example, a woman states that she went past the apartment earlier in the evening and noticed that the bedroom shutters were closed. But, Kate McCann states the window was open and the shutters pushed up. And the investigators find no evidence of tampering.
Furthermore, the shutters can only be opened from the inside. Can you imagine an individual entering by the door, using a pick lock, and going out through through the window, with his victim, after having opened the shutters? And also, the child's bed is not disturbed, as though no one has slept in it. Intrigued, the police officers examine the mobile phones of each of the McCanns: the call history has been erased. Astonishing to think of emptying the memory of your mobile phone when your child has just been kidnapped! But the PJ officers are struggling to do their job. The pressure quickly becomes unbearable.
Little Maddie disappeared on the Thursday evening. On the Friday, the British ambassador, John Buck, is on the spot, accompanied by big-shot police officers and lawyers. And on the Saturday, three British police officers arrive in their turn, in theory to assist their Portuguese colleagues. The contact is not good. The local police officers feel belittled. However, having been involved with the training of Portuguese police officers, I can guarantee that they have no reason to envy either the French or the British - except perhaps certain technical resources.
The working conditions are as follows: 150 Portuguese police officers, three British police officers, authorities, diplomats, and journalists...everywhere. Not the ideal for an investigation. On the Saturday, the PJ director from Faro, tells the press: "It is an abduction." At the same time the McCann couple launch their desperate appeal before the television cameras. It is even said that the police are holding a sketch of the kidnapper, but it will not be published to avoid putting the child's life at risk. A little late, no, to think of the young victim!
During this political, media-staged bustling, the head of the investigation, Commissioner Gonçalo Amaral begins to entertain another possibility. He thinks the McCanns' behaviour is not, "natural." Otherwise, why refuse to participate in a reconstruction of the evening? He finds that certain witness statements do not correspond and that it is becoming impossible to determine where anyone was at any time. Thus, an implausible detail emerges when the Irish witness indicates that after seeing Gerry McCann on television, he positively identified him: this was the man he saw with Maddie in his arms, on the Thursday, at around 10pm. Yes, but at that time, the child's father was in the restaurant with his friends...
Amaral is skeptical. He feels that there is a certain degree of connivance amongst this group of friends. Would they be lying? He goes back to the initial findings and he examines the places from a different angle - as he would do it for a crime scene. The little girl's death becomes the working hypothesis for the investigators.
EVIDENCE OR PRESUMPTIONS: A suspect is arrested. He is a British national living a hundred metres from the leisure centre. I will not give his name as he has taken action against newspapers which said, "certain things," about him, and the press barons backed down. It is said that he banked 750,000€.
Meanwhile, dogs trained to detect certain odours, notably those of blood or cadavers, are brought in. They detect traces inside the apartment, in the couple's bedroom and in the dining room; as well as outside the building. More disquieting, the dogs alert on the child's soft toy and on clothes belonging to her mother. The dogs are placed near a car rented by theMcCanns , and they sniff suspicious odours there too. But this vehicle was actually hired after the little girl's disappearance! On the other hand, the dogs detect nothing, either in the car of the British man under investigation, or at his home.
The vice tightens on the McCanns.
In the places marked by the dogs, minute organic fragments are gathered for DNA comparison with Madeleine's (from samples of saliva on her bed covers). The analyses are done in Great Britain. When the results come out, there is no longer any doubt: There are 15 identical markers in the two DNAs. It is the little girl.
At the beginning of September, the McCann couple are placed under investigation, but left at liberty. The press reports that they are suspected of having concealed their daughter's body after an accidental death - there is talk of the administration of a sedative that was too powerful (the parents are both doctors) - and that they would have got rid of it afterward by transporting it in a vehicle rented for that purpose.
Meanwhile, this case has taken on an international dimension. The McCanns have called the English Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the investigation is followed more closely by the governments of both countries. The press is unleashed. The parents set themselves up as the victims of a bigoted, even backward, police force. The British newspapers really lay into the investigators, who are looking at the parents instead of searching for the missing child. The English police officers, who are involved with the investigation (and who, in theory, have no power to intervene) do nothing to put things right. The public is gripped by this mysterious story - charged with emotion. A support fund is set up. Brian Kennedy, an American Millionaire offers his services.
He takes on the costs of the lawyers and the private investigators. It's even said that he goes to meet some of the witnesses. Does that have anything to do with the fact that afterwards most of them refused to go back and participate in a reconstruction? The atypical Virgin boss also puts his hand in his pocket. It is interesting to note that all this energy, all this money, is essentially used to defend the suspects.
New DNA research is carried out by the forensic laboratories in Birmingham, taking the opposite view to the first evaluation. It is said that the samples harvested (by the Portuguese police) were allegedly mixed...
Commissioner Gonçalo Amaral requests another other evaluation. Impossible, the English tell him, the samples have been destroyed, or lost, we don't exactly know, by the laboratory. Amaral can't take any more. All this hooha , this persistent pressure from the bosses, political authorities, the media, is preventing him from working properly. He is taken to task, criticised, watched closely...Even his British colleagues are causing trouble for him. Exasperated, he lets go in the press. It is a mistake, because his bosses jump at the chance. He is transferred.
Gonçalo Amaral has written a book, "The Truth of the Lie," which is out now in Portugal. Bet there will be some interesting details in it. At least if it is translated into French. Will the press, already scalded by this case, pick up on it? Not certain! The McCanns have clearly implied that their lawyers were ready to take action.
To go back to the DNA, in France, unless I am mistaken, 13 identical markers between two DNA profiles, is sufficient in law. So, if the events had taken place here, first of all the evaluation would not have been done in Great Britain, but in a French laboratory, and then the McCanns would have been placed under investigation and most certainly placed in preventive detention - and only the judge would have been able to decided on a second evaluation.
Which goes to show that scientific evidence, even the most sophisticated, doesn't depend on a mathematical formula, but on human judgement.
THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE PARENTS: I must say that the behaviour of the McCanns compared to that of other parents placed in such a painful situation is....different. From the start, they looked down on the Portuguese police officers. They lied on certain points and right away, they looked for support from their country's authorities. As if they felt threatened! Were they caught up in the media machine? The support fund which they set up (and which can be found on Google's business pages) collected around 1.5 million euros. However, one of the first expenses incurred by that fund was to make two monthly payments concerning the purchase of their house. It is said that 600,000 euros was paid out to settle the fees of private detectives, who turned out to be crooks. One of them even stated that he had infiltrated a Belgian paedophile network... In their defence, they have guaranteed that they have not used that money to pay the fees of the lawyers who are covering their defence.
These folks have mobilised around themselves so many people, so many of the smart set we might say, from politics and business.....that we can only wonder. Are they part of a network? Of a lodge? Of a sect? Of a clan?....
THE STATE OF THE INVESTIGATION: The McCann couple not having requested the continuation of the investigation, it is officially over. As things stand, there is a 4 year-old kid, probably dead; and three suspects who have been let off. One, the neighbour, suspected because of his past, but against whom there seems to be no evidence; and the parents...
There is evidence that they lied in their first statements to the police, notably about how they spent their time, apparently in connivance with their friends. They couldn't explain the presence of traces of blood or cadaver odour, particularly in the vehicle they had hired, three weeks after the events. Even if in law the second DNA evaluation negates the first, it is not entirely convincing. The experts are happy to conclude that they cannot use the gathered samples they were sent, because they were contaminated. And even if we consider that the two evaluations were contradictory, which one should we believe? The destruction of the samples makes any confirmation impossible.
And after this hullabaloo, Maddie joins the long list of missing children.
CONCLUSION: Everyone can think what they like, but Portuguese law considers that there is no charge against anyone, not any proof, not any evidence. They have, "archived," the case, as they say there.
It is astonishing. But I believe it's a good way to start over in a more calm way. In fact, nothing is stopping the investigators from, "discreetly," continuing their investigations. Portuguese procedure allows the reopening of the case at any moment, if someone brings a new element to it.
What is striking in this case, is that there is a lot of talk about money and very little about the young victim. Finally, one of the suspects pocketed 750,000 € handed over by certain newspapers to avoid action for defamation, and the other two, the parents, have collected 1.5 million euros in a support fund. Not to mention the money spent by wealthy patrons. As for the Portuguese police officers, they were ridiculed.
It must stick in their throats... I'll bet they are not ready to forget it.

Very interesting read, in my opinion. Especially because it comes from a man who knows how things are done.
Just wanted to let you know that from now on I won't be around as much because I'll be back to work. I'll try to moderate the comments as often as I can, but sometimes I'll only be able to do it at lunchtime (if I'm lucky) and in the evening. Sorry.

I would like to espress my support and admiration for Goncalo Amaral and all other PJ offices who diligently pursued the possibility of the parents' involvement in the death of Madeleine and the hiding of her body, despite the opposition of key figures in the British and Portugues political establishments

Hello Cláudia,
You must be a very busy person with the teaching and the translating. I wish I had your drive.
I'm not sure how that article makes me feel. It does give a glimmer of hope that the investigation may still be going on behind the scenes.
That was an interesting point about Madeleine's bed being in the living room. I had not heard that before.
Try not to work to hard.

Mr Tony Bennet, thank you.
It is every police force's responsibility and obligation to investigate all possibilities. Especially if a child's fate is involved.

SHU, thank you.
If these people ant to be taken a bit seriously, they have to stop saying things like: 'it was eight months ago but I...'.
Metodo 3 continues to work in the McCann case, don't they?
Espero que o caso do Rui Teixeira não seja encerrado. Aquela mãe coragem merece, no mínimo, que o caso continue aberto.

Olá Cláudia krida!
A história do advogado espanhol contada hoje no Sol deixou-me agoniada pelo cheiro a esturro.
Obviamente novas aparições estavam programadas. Obviamente os magníficos que prometeram a menina como presente de Natal, estarão ligados ao magnífico advogado...
Quando parará esta farsa?
Quanto tempo ainda teremos de ser insultados por esta camada de esterco?
Coragem para o regresso ao trabalho minha linda! Eu sei que há cabecinhas muito jovens que estão encantadas em reencontrar-te.

Cheirar a esturro é favor. Cheira a coisa mais fedorenta. :-) A parte mais ridículo são os 8 meses. Ainda dizem que as coisas andam lentamente em Portugal! ;-)
Pois, o trabalho. É para começar devagar, para não entrar em choque. :-) Mas já tenho saudades daqueles malandrecos. :-)
Muitas beijocas!!!

To the last two anonymous posters whose posts I did not and will not publish. The kind of information you tried to post will only be taken seriously by me or anyone if you post under your true identity. I don't mean a nick, I mean a real name, which can be checked. Otherwise, you're losing your time. I'm tired of trolls.

Cláudia, fiquei alarmado por ter visitado o 'Proud of the PJ' e verificado que este estava aberto "só para amigos".
Cheguei a pensar se seria alguma manobra do clarence Mitchel.
Felizmente vejo que o blog continua operacional. Parece-me é que os posts estão a ficar um pouco "encriptados", enfim, é só uma opinião.

Quanto ao blog, esteve 'fechado' enquanto estive de férias. Tenho tido muitas tentativas de 'intrusão' no meu pc e, para evitar dissabores quando chegasse, optei por 'fechá-lo' na minha ausência. Expliquei, no entanto, que o faria numa das threads para que não pensassem que tinha sido fechado definitivamente. É preciso bastante mais do que o porta-voz cor-de-rosa para me calar.
Espero que a sua tentativa dê frutos. Mesmo que assim não seja, vale pelo empenho. Obrigada.

Statements from Catriona Baker
At Leicestershire Police, April 14, 2008 (resume):
Went to Portugal on March 2006 (yes, 2006 – I presume "2006" it's a typo error... may be..) worked at Ocean Club Village, than changed to Mark Warner's Ocean Club, on June 2006. There are seven "Kids Clubs", at Ocean Club, according to the children's ages, and about 16 nannies. She was living at a home within a 10 minutes walk from Ocean Club. Met Gerry and Kate in the morning of April 29, 2007, first time they took the children to the crèches Madeleine McCann was put under her responsibility, in the "Minis Club", with Ella, Jane Tanner's daughter.
The McCann daily routine: Kate and Gerry took Madeleine to the crèche every morning, came back at lunch time, and after "high tea". She met Gerry more times, because he went to take Madeleine more frequently than Kate.
On May 3, 2007 she remembers that Gerry McCann took Madeleine to the crèche, between 9:15/9:20 am. She doesn't remember who took Madeleine out from the "Minis Club", for lunch, that day. Around 2:45 pm, Madeleine went back from lunch, but Catriona doesn't remember who took her to the crèche. In the afternoon, the children went swimming. Between 3:35/6:00 pm, May 3, Kate went to the area near Tapas Bar, and she took Madeleine with her. Kate was using a sporting outfit and Catriona thought she has been jogging. She believes Gerry was playing tennis.
After her shift finished she went home. Around 10:30/10:35 pm, May 3, two room-mates came and told her that Madeleine was missing. She went out and helped in the searches, around the resort and into the beach. She didn't saw Gerry and Kate, on that night.
Mark Warner has a rule concerning the children's crèches: there is a registration sheet and the parents must sign it, when they leave and they take the children. Only parents can take the children, unless there is a previous communication that another identified person will do it. Thursday morning, May 3, all the children of the "Minis Club" went to the beach.
Mark Warner transferred Catriona Baker from Ocean Club to other country (to the Greek resort of San Agostino, according to the Daily Mail) one week after Madeleine disappeared (24 hours after PJ interviewed her, on May 5th, according to the Daily Mail...) on May 13, 2007. She never noticed nothing strange about Madeleine's behaviour or in the relation she had with her parents, they looked a very happy family.
At PJ, May 5, 2007 (resume):
She is in Portugal since March 21, 2007, and her contract with Mark Warner finishes at November 7, and she is planning to go back to UK. The Ocean Club has four children's care centres, divided by age. Each nanny has around seven children under its responsibility. Met the McCann on April 29, 2007, and Madeleine was at the crèche every day, until May 3, 2007. It was always the parents who went to the "Minis Club" to bring in and take out Madeleine.

Hi, Nana!
Great to read you again! :-)
I have to confess that when I started reading the article I thought to myself 'it's about time'. But then I noticed the date. It is almost an year old. They are not arguidos anymore. If I had to comment using one word, I would say 'spin'.
Oh, and Mr Amaral is still waiting too.
Pode ser que agora que o cartoon cor de rosa tem outro emprego, a gente seja poupada e ouça menos idiotices. :-)

Dear Cláudia
Thanks for taking the time to read the article. I should have said it was an old article. I'd like to ask you if it is true that a Portuguese paper can be sue in England. This can't be right, but I don't know if it can be done.
By the way, I finished reading Mr. Amaral's book. He knows what he's talking about. A must reading, I highly recommend it.

Nana, no, it was good you didn't tell me it was old. For a few moments I thought it was something really interesting. But then I remembered what has been said all these long months.
As you know, I have no legal background. Personally (not legally) I think it is a load of crap. If they could do it, they would have done long ago. Many months ago someone from 24 Horas was on live Portuguese TV and said they would have absolutely no problem to be sued and to go to court and discuss things.
As for Mr Amaral's book, I agree with you. Quite a balanced read, isn't, Nana? People who are expecting to read about hunches and emotional reactions will be surprised by the rationality of it all. It's great that several countries will soon be able to read for themselves and make up their own minds.
I have already seen the Spanish cover. It's very nice :-)
It's always great to read you, Nana.
Um beijo!

Claudia - please will you convey a message of good wishes to Docmac at this time? I cannot post elsewhere, so hope you will pass my message on. Thank you. Stonemaid

Hi, Stonemaid.
Of course I will. Thank you.
If you wish to post on Viv's you just have to e-mail her. And wait for her to check her mail, which sometimes takes a while.
Tnak you for your words.

Thank you very much for passing on my message to Docmac at this terribly sad time for him and his wife. I wish I could have posted to him direct, on Viv's site, as I have done in the recent past, but all I get is this message: "You're currently logged in as Stonemaid. You may not comment with this account." I am beginning to hate cyberspace because people are constantly banning me for crimes - of which I know not what. There is certainly no fair trial in cyberspace, that's for sure! I'd so much like to have the evidence of my 'crimes' - it's a really foul experience I can tell you!!
Anyway, thank you Claudia for believing in free speech!

Stonemaid, check your e-mail. There may be a problem. Something wrong with the password and your account could have expired. If it doesn't work e-mail Viv.

"São usadas crianças, a maioria entre os seis e os dez anos. Não olham à raça nem ao sexo. São da classe média-alta, médicos, professores e até advogados. Ontem, a Polícia Judiciária fez buscas às suas casas. Foi à residência de 23 indivíduos, de norte a sul do País,
todos com boa situação económica e apresentando níveis elevados de escolaridade.
Apreendeu-lhes os computadores e os telemóveis. Identificou-os por serem suspeitos de alimentarem uma rede de pornografia infantil que funciona na internet e cujo acesso se faz através da troca de imagens.

Anónimo, a PJ fez um excelçente trabalho ao identificar esses monstros.~Se ao justiça ao puni-los funcionasse tão bem como a Polícia ao apanhá-los, seria fantástico. Por mim ficariam o resto da sua nojenta e miserável vida na cadeia. E atenção que estou a fazer um esforço para ser simpática. Na realidade, o meu primeiro instinto seria desejar justiça à moda do Texas...

The QC who prosecuted the Gordon Wood murder trial says his conduct was "fair and detached" and aimed at serving justice.
Mark Tedeschi, NSW's senior Crown prosecutor, underwent his fourth day in the witness box on Monday at the malicious prosecution case brought by Mr Wood, who is claiming millions of dollars in damages.
The former chauffeur to flamboyant stockbroker Rene Rivkin served more than three years in jail after being convicted in 2008 of murdering his girlfriend Caroline Byrne.
Key evidence was given by physicist Associate Professor Rod Cross who concluded Ms Byrne had been spear-thrown off a cliff at The Gap, a notorious Sydney suicide spot, late on the night of June 7, 1995.
But the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal overturned the conviction in 2012, criticising both Prof Cross and Mr Tedeschi.
Ending his cross-examination on Monday, Mr Wood's lawyer Bruce McClintock SC suggested Mr Tedeschi knew Prof Cross was an advocate for convicting Mr Wood.
"I didn't see him as an advocate.... I saw him as a reliable physicist who went beyond his area of expertise but whose findings were solid and reliable," Mr Tedeschi replied.
He said during the trial he considered the evidence was "not just a bare case" against Mr Wood, but "a very powerful, cogent case" implicating him in murder.
"You are not suggesting your conduct was fair and detached?" Mr McClintock asked.
"I do," Mr Tedeschi replied.
"I want to suggest to you finally that your behaviour clearly shows ... that whatever purpose you had in conducting this prosecution, it had nothing to do with serving the ends of justice?' Mr Mclintock asked.
Mr Tedeschi again disagreed.
The case continues.

Decentralisation and The Evolution of Common Law
Decentralisation and The Evolution of Common Law - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
This paper is aimed at highlighting how common law has evolved over the centuries, namely through the flexibility accorded to judicial precedents, as well as through the evolutionary nature evidenced in the processes and rules applied in statutory interpretation. In addition to illustrating how informational asymmetries can be mitigated through de centralisation, facilitated with courts employing the use of non-legal agents such as expert witnesses - as evidenced in the Daubert case, Pepper v Hart also illustrates how common law has evolved through the scope and permissibility of aids to statutory interpretation. Whilst financial markets and changes in the environment impact legislators, and whilst it is widely accepted that legislation constitutes the supreme form of law, the necessity for judges to introduce a certain level of flexibility will also contribute towards ensuring that legitimate expectations of involved parties are achieved - particularly where the construction of the words within a statute gives rise to considerable ambiguity. By way of reference to landmark rulings in the United States, cases such as Daubert and The Estate of Edgar A. Berg v. Commissioner, this paper also aims to illustrate the vital role increasingly assumed by non-legal actors, and why this approach should constitute a trend to be adopted in European common and civil law jurisdictions. This being the case given the failures and flaws of references to Parliamentary material and whether these should be permitted as an aid to the construction of legislation which is ambiguous or obscure, as illustrated in the case of Pepper v Hart.

THE PROPORTION of 11-year-old children who mastered the three Rs by the end of their primary school education has risen in Leeds this year, according to today's league tables.
The figures published this morning show that 78 per cent of pupils in the city reached level four - the standard expected of the age group - in maths and reading tests and writing assessments.
This was up two per cent on last year's performance but was also two per cent below this year's national average.
The tables also show there are more than a dozen primaries in the Leeds City Council area who are below the Government's floor targets.
Primary schools are rated as being "below the floor" if less than 65 per cent of pupils achieve the expected standard in reading, writing and maths and the school's year six pupils also fail to keep pace with the average level of progress being made nationally in these subjects from the ages of seven to 11. There are 17schools are in that category out of more than 200 primaries across the city council area.
The tables published this morning by the Department for Education (DfE) are based on the key stage two standard assessment tests (Sats) which 11-year-olds do at the end of primary school.
There were also five schools in the Leeds education authority area which saw all of their year six pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths.
The schools with 100 per cent of children making the grade were St Anthony's Catholic Primary in Beeston, Crossley Street in Wetherby, Shadwell Primary, St Edward's Catholic Primary in Boston Spa and St Francis Catholic Primary in Morley.
Schools below DfE floor targets were Bramley St Peter's, Broadgate Primary, Hovingham Primary, Hugh Gaitskell Primary, Ingram Road Primary, Kirkstall St Stephen's, Lawns Park Primary, Micklefield CE Primary, Moor Allerton Hall Primary, Richmond Hill Primary, Rothwell CE Primary and Victoria Junior School although the vast majority of these schools still saw the majority of their pupils reaching the expected levels in reading, writing and maths.
The performance of the city's primary schools has been the subject of controversy recently.
Ofsted's annual national report showed that the city had the highest proportion of primaries across Yorkshire which are rated as being good or better by the education watchdog.
However Ofsted's own regional director for Yorkshire and the North East, Nick Hudson, wrote to Leeds City Council and the city's MPs warning that performance of the area's primary schools was "frankly inexcusable." This was because Leeds was said to be lagging behind the national average in this year's Sats tests.
At the time Coun Lucinda Yeadon, the city council's executive member for children and families, said it was disappointing that the letter had not acknowledged that Ofsted themselves rated nine out of ten schools in the city as good or better.

In some special cases the owner, not the residents, has to pay the council tax. These are:
If you live in such a dwelling, where the owner is liable, you do not have to pay the council tax. If your landlord is the liable person, they might be able to ask you to pay something towards the bill, depending on the terms of your agreement with them.
Your council may send the bill to just one of the liable people, to some of them, or to all of the liable people.
In some cases, more than one person is responsible for seeing that the bill is paid. People who are joint owners or joint tenants are jointly liable.
A person who is severely mentally impaired will not be jointly liable.
Sedgemoor District Council may send out forms asking for information so that they can tell who should pay. If we send you a form, you should complete it and return it to us. If you don't return the form, you may face a penalty of £70.00.
The council tax is worked out on a daily basis. If you move home you may stop being the liable person for your old home, and may become the liable person for your new home. If you tell your old council about your move it can adjust your bill and make sure that you pay the right amount. This is especially important if you move to a new council area as you may be due a refund, depending on the method you used to pay the council tax and how much has already been paid.
If you disagree with Sedgemoor District Council's decision about your liability, you should write to us, explaining what you object to and why. Sedgemoor District Council has two months to provide an answer. If you still disagree with us, or if we have not acted within the two month period, you can appeal to a Valuation Tribunal. See how to appeal. You should continue to pay your original bill while your appeal is outstanding.
To work out who has to pay for your home (or "dwelling"), look down the list below. As soon as you reach a description which applies to someone in your home, they will be responsible for the bill (and will be the "liable person").
A "resident" is a person of 18 years or over who lives in the dwelling as their only or main home. This means that owner-occupiers or resident tenants (including council tenants) usually have to pay the tax. If the property is empty, or it is no-one's main home, the owner is responsible for the bill.
If only one adult lives in a dwelling (as their main home) the council tax bill is reduced by a quarter (25%). If you are the sole occupier of your property you can apply for the Single Adult Discount.

There are two basic legal theories to seek attorneys fees: disparity of income and sanctions. Both theories provide the Court with a lot of discretion in whether or not to order fees and how much.
Under the disparity of income theory the fees are not based on who is "right" and who is "wrong," but its based trying to equalize the litigation "playing field" by ensuring that both parties have financial access to representation.
California Family Code Section 2030 et seq. Provides that one parent may obtain attorney fees from the other if there is 1) disparity in access to funds to retain counsel and 2) the other party has the ability to pay for legal representation for both parties.
The Court will review the California Family Code Section 4320 factors prior to making an order for attorneys fees and costs. If the request is granted the Court will then determine the amount of fees and the rate of payment. This will vary from case to case and judge to judge.
If attorney fees are awarded to one party, then the contributing spouse will be ordered to make a payment, but this does not necessarily mean all of the fees will be paid by them.
Under California Family Code Section 271 the Court can order one party to pay attorney's fees as a sanction or penalty for bad conduct that results in unnecessary litigation.

We had a great time at the 12th Annual Hand 4 Hope - Starlight Jazz Serenade Benefit Concert in Noho Friday night, March 2nd at the Acedemy of Television Arts and Sciences Auditorium. It was absolutely fantastic! - Grammy award winning artists performed their hearts out. Pat Prescott of 94.7 The Wave was the Host and more than 500 people were in attendance. What a great cause and what a fabulous event!
This was our first of many book signings and silent auctions that we will participate in. Our trade table was great and appealing, and we signed some books.

High Commission Canberra marks Armed Forces Day
The British High Commission held a reception today to mark UK Armed Forces Day.
The reception was to honour former members of the British and Australian Armed Forces who were presented with the Arctic Star medal.
Air Marshal Mark Binskin, Vice Chief of the Australian Defence Force presented Jim Ford RN (rtd) and Captain Graham Wright RAN (rtd) the Arctic Star medal in a short ceremony.
Recognising the long standing bilateral defence ties, Deputy High Commissioner Tony Brennan said he was pleased that medals were be presented to members of the Armed Forces in the presence of the Australian and British defence communities.
Mr Brennan said:
"This is an important opportunity to recognise the sacrifices made by our serving armed forces and their families as well as our veterans.
"It was particularly moving to attend the Classic ANZACs v British & Irish XV rugby match in Brisbane last Friday for the British charity Help the Heroes and Australian charity Mates for Mates.
"This match is yet further evidence of the strong relationship between the armed forces of both countries."
The medal ceremony took place in the presence of Air Marshal Mark Binskin, Vice Chief of the Defence Force, recipients' family and friends, as well as UK veterans, representatives from the Australian Defence Force and Australian Returned and Services League.
The Arctic Star is granted for operational service of any length north of the Arctic Circle from 3 September 1939 to 8 May 1945 inclusive. The Arctic Star is intended to commemorate the Arctic convoys and is designed primarily for the ships of the convoys to North Russia and their Escorts.
The purpose of Armed Forces Day is to do two things. Firstly, to raise public awareness of the contributions made to the UK by those who serve and have served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces. Secondly, it gives the nation an opportunity to show support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community in its broadest sense, from serving men and women to service families and from veterans to cadets.
Armed Forces Day in 2013 will be Saturday 29 June in the UK and will be centred on Nottingham.

In 2013 Jason Atherton was an extremely busy man opening two new ventures in 2013 – the Little Social on March the 18th and also Social Eating House which opened on the same date the following month. (My review can be seen here). Little social is exactly what you want from a French style bistro, red leather banquets, period framed posters, lots of dark wood and a cocktail bar to boot. Head Chef Cary Docherty from British Columbia has been in London for over 10 years now and made his name in Gordon Ramsey's Maze as Senior Chef de Partie where he met with Jason Atherton. He has also had stints in Zuma (2007) and Junior sous Chef under Clare Smyth at the 3 Michelin-starred Gordon Ramsey, so he knows his way around the kitchen!
Southern Ginger £12.50. Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva rum, Grand Marnier, lime, elderflower & ginger beer. This drink intrigued me as a love Diplomatico and ginger beer but it was way too sweet for my tastes, it's a palate thing. But they were kind enough to chalk this one off the bill.
First impressions are crucial – it always starts with the bread and it's good with the house butter (with sea salt), olive oil and balsamic. We doubled up on the brown salvador bread and white french baguette.
Chinon Cuvée Terrois £45. (Charles Joguet). It tasted young and refreshing, a good choice with all the rich food.
Raw hand dived Isle of Mull scallops, dashi jelly, apple, shiso wasabi & avocado purée £15.50. This is a skilled piece of cooking which kept the sweet integrity of the scallop – perhaps a little high end for a bistro? I'm not complaining!
Warm cooked eel, beetroot, horseradish cream, watercress £14.50. Piped beets and little melon balled peach coloured beets to go with the smoked meaty eel – it was a good harmonious plate.
Aged Scottish beef burger, bacon & cheese, caramelised onions, pickles cheese £17. I can imagine this burger has featured in many a burger debate/war as it's a thing of how burgers should really be. Cooked medium using the chunk flank & neck of the animal but enough so you get the caramelisation crust on the patty and smothered in sweet onions, cheese and salt cured bacon. It's an accomplished burger. The fries were quality too.
Braised ox cheeks, roasted bone marrow, sour dough crumb, carrot, horse radish mash £27.50. Ox cheek marinated for 24 hours with port, then cooked with butter, seat salt, a pinch of curry powder, onion and peppercorns. It changes the game with the deep umami flavour, unctuousness and lip-smacking richness. Comfort food personified. That carrot was so tender and sweet too.
Desert time!
Hand rolled pistachio chocolate truffles and petit canelés £4.50. They look and taste stunning, I particularly adore the canelés as they encapsulated everything you want in a pastry – sweet crispy caramelised shell with soft custardy centre.
Macallan Rare Cask – we managed to pinch a little drop and it was wonderfully oaky and prominent in vanilla. At £45 a go though we opted for the Nikka from the Barrel £11.
The verdict:
When did I go? March 2016
The damage: Expect to pay £70-£85 per head with drinks.
The good: Atherton hits the high notes with his homage to the Parisian bistro, the ox cheek was a flavour riot with the roasted bone marrow scoop and mustard mustard mash. The burger compelling but not as memorable but the canelé were impeccable. I love the booths and our waitress 'Anais' was warm, charming and very knowledgeable about all the ingredients.
The bad: Shouldn't a bistro be more fairly priced?

GameBoy Emulator on ROBLOX!?
Posted 4 years ago
Posted in Reviews
You heard it right, someone made a pretty realistic GameBoy Emulator in ROBLOX! It appears as if they took the code of an actual emulator, and converted it to Lua! However, it currently only runs Pokemon Red Version, and now a few other games. Question is, how good does it run and is it worth playing?
It's Pokemon, you should know how to play already! Gotta catch 'em all, duh.…

NOTE: This tutorial requires basic Lua knowledge.
It's been a while, but I'm back with another tutorial! Today, I'm proud to show you how to create a custom loading screen for your place! If you didn't know this was possible, now you do.
As it sounds, with custom loading screens, you can replace the default loading screen a player sees when they first enter a game. Not only is this possible, but the API (Service) that makes this possible also allows you to run LocalScripts on a player almost as soon as they enter the game!…

Welcome all RoGo Readers! Today, let's hear from the staff of RoGo, including myself, about their favorite ROBLOX game(s) of all time! They also gave a brief description of why they like it.

This is a new game by alexnewtron. It was released today, on December 20, 2014, and is already so packed it's causing servers to crash! It was anticipated by many, including myself. So today, I shall tell you about my experience.

The 5 best and worst ROBLOX Updates (as of December, 2014)
Posted 4 years ago
Posted in Editorials
Welcome to the first to RoGomas article! Merry RoGomas!
I've been on ROBLOX for a while, since November 18, 2008. I have nostalgia of my ROBLOXian past, but I still really enjoy modern ROBLOX. Why else would I be here, writing this article today for you? Anyway, today I'm going to talk about my personal favorite and most disliked ROBLOX Updates, as of December 2014.
This is my own personal opinion. You don't have to agree with it. Always feel free to leave your own opinions down below in the comments.…

It's that time of year again! Time flies for me, feels like last year's wasn't too long ago! Anyway, this year, ROBLOX decided to use three popular games to give two hats each, giving us a total of six hats. These hats are collected by obtaining badges.

New Loading Screen, Chat UI, and Custom Loading Screens!
Posted 4 years ago
Posted in ROBLOX News
As you've probably noticed, ROBLOX has a new loading screen and style to its in-game chat. But what you probably didn't know about is a custom loading screen! That's right, now developers have the capability of creating their own loading screen! It also allows them to execute any code while a player's client is loading a game, so you can have assets and bricks loading at the same time! If you're a developer, read this wiki article for more information.
I personally like these new features.…
ROBLOX arrives on the Amazon App Store! (Kindle, Fire Phone, etc.)
Posted 4 years ago
Posted in ROBLOX News
ROBLOX has now been released on three mobile operating systems: iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod), Android, and recently, Kindle. This means that ROBLOX is now available on most of the popular smartphone/tablet app stores. If ROBLOX continues creating ROBLOX for tablet/smartphones, their next platform will likely be Windows Phone OS or Blackberry. This is just my guess. As for other platforms that aren't touch-screens, such as video game consoles, that may be a while. But I can see it becoming a thing someday.…
Beginner Lua Lesson 7: Properties, Math, and String Manipulation
Posted 4 years ago
Posted in Tutorials
Every object in ROBLOX has properties. Properties is basically what makes up that object. A Part has many properties, including ones that affect its transparency, collision, and surfaces. Every ROBLOX object shares the following properties: Name (Obvious), ClassName (The type of Instance), & Archivable (Whether this object will be cloned when the Clone method is called on it or one of its ancestors). You'll have to read the ROBLOX Wiki for information on properties of objects.…
Beginner Lua Lesson 6: "return" and Callbacks
Posted 4 years ago
Posted in Tutorials
The word "return" is bold and dark blue, just like "function," "end," etc. What it does, essentially, allows you to retrieve anything from a separate function. You call upon the function, and in that function, add "return," followed by what to send back to what called upon the function; these must be on the same line, spaced once.
function RetrieveAlivePlayers() local count = 0 for i, plyr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do if plyr.PlayerIsAlive.Value then --Pretend this exists on the Player count = count + 1 end end return count end --Loop checks every 10 seconds how many Players are alive while true do local AlivePlayers = RetrieveAlivePlayers() print("There are currently "..AlivePlayers.." alive!") wait(10) end
A callback is the same as a function mostly.…

Solo Traveler on Safari Advice:
Note: A Solo Safari simply costs more money.
We do a lot of them, especially for women travelers that prefer to be with a trusted Tour-Guide in Uganda and Rwanda and not on a scheduled group safari with a company that usually does not go where you might want to go and does not include the safari activities you want to include in your time in the heart of Africa.
If you are looking for the best Safari Price, then a Solo Safari is not for you. You would best sign up for a scheduled Group Safari with guaranteed departure dates.
Activities such as the Gorilla Habituation Experience are not offered on scheduled Group Safaris. Off-the-Beaten-Path places and activities fall into the same category.
We do not offer scheduled group Safaris, there are many Tour Operators that do.
What we do not do:
Because of Quality Control – We do only one thing – Fully Packaged, Private Mid-Range and Luxury Safari Tours in Uganda and Rwanda.
- We do not do scheduled group Safaris that you can join.
- We do not book lodges only,
- We do not sell Gorilla or Chimpanzee Permits only.
- We do not supply a driver guide and vehicle only.

Gorilla Permits are scarce for June through September and last two weeks of December of 2018
Permits are in short supply for the above months. Give us a choice of dates for your safari and we will attempt match open permit dates for you. This is especially true with Gorilla Habitation Experience Permits.
This is as a result of the Gorilla Trekker Migration from Rwanda due to their doubling Permits to 1,500 USD. Rwanda keeps getting wonderful coverage in the Media, but most Trekkers have chosen to go to Uganda in 2018 and voted with their wallets and while heading to nearby Mgahinga Gorilla Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, the only other safe and secure gorilla trekking locations. We are working overtime to fulfill requests and more importantly coming up with permits. We will also not raise our prices to take advantage of this situation.

With over 300 million users on LinkedIn, if you want to make sure your profile stands out or your new employer can notice you before your competitors, follow the below 6 tips to improve your LinkedIn profile.
1.Profile Picture
Use a professional photo with a clear background; take it in clothes that you would also wear to an interview to ensure you look professional.
A profile picture increases your chances to get notice to your new employer or client by 7 times.
Put the relevant keywords to the role you are looking for in Headline session of your LinkedIn profile. This will get you found via LinkedIn searches, and can be used to promote the fact you are currently looking for opportunities, For instances, if you are looking for articleship or jobs after clearing CA final exams just put those relevant keywords in your profile's headline.
This is the first impression a LinkedIn user will get about your professional standing, therefore it is essential to make it stand out – otherwise they'll just move on!
3.Contact Information
Add your professional email address, contact number and your company or personal Twitter username. In case your new employer is seeking to contact you personally.
If you are using your personal Twitter, make sure you have used the Pinned Tweet function to avoid employers viewing inappropriate Tweets that could give off a bad first impression.
Use this area to speak directly to your target audience and make it relevant to their needs, it's an opportunity to big yourself up and show off what you have achieved. Aim to tell a story about your professional career. Write about your experience at the time of your articleship. Or your previous job.
If you are a graduate or student and don't have much experience, tailor it to how your studies, interests and hobbies have led to the decision to pursue a career within the particular area you wish to work.
Make it straight to the point. Keep it relevant to professionals and base it around your career.
Recruiters and employers are looking for relevant experience, they're not going to be that interested in odd jobs you have done for a couple of months here and there, nor do they want to hear about jobs that are not relevant to your career.
Therefore, Keep it relevant to your career; don't put every role down if you don't believe it will benefit your job search. Make sure if the role is under a year you provide a brief explanation about why it was for this duration such as an internship, work experience, temporary role.
Recommendations are great to have on your LinkedIn profile, they provide recruiters and employers with a 'reference' before they have even approached you. A great way to get recommendations is to request them via LinkedIn ; this could be sent at the end of a successful project, a previous or current employer (before your transition to a new job), colleague or tutor. Out of courtesy it is always nice to reciprocate the recommendation once someone has provided you with one, not only does that make you appear on their profile but also is beneficial to their LinkedIn profile. If you are an article assistant just ask you principle to write you a recommendation.
You don't have to wait around for recommendations – you can ask, and remember to return the favour.
Before Parting – Now's the time to get your LinkedIn profile updated, use the above tips and you will be well on your way to getting noticed by recruiters and employers on LinkedIn!

Transport cuts passed
Despite a decision to cut community transport in Suffolk by half being called in, the county council's cabinet has decided to go ahead with proposals.
The Labour group at Suffolk County Council had called in the decision by the all Conservative cabinet, with community transport groups raising concerns that the changes could spell the end of community and charity-led organisations.
The cabinet has been accused of ignoring its "democratic duty" by the Labour Group, who say they will take further action.
The £1.4 million funding for community transport will now be cut by 10 per cent a year for the next five years.
There are also plans for just one tender to be given in each district, with responsibility for community transport in that area.
Jane Basham, chairman of the South Suffolk Labour Party, said: "This makes its plans to help everyone to get around into a sick joke.
"They're looking for commercial success in transport projects that wouldn't even exist without subsidy or the commitment of volunteers.
"These cuts are a disaster for anyone without access to private transport.
"Vital journeys to hospitals, schools and other services are under threat. Those living any distance from the services they rely on are being ignored."

2014 Newsmakers: MAGIC Parent Advanstar Acquired
Twice a year, more than 5,000 brands and more than 65,000 attendees decamp to Las Vegas to show their latest wares at the sprawling über trade show MAGIC and its sub shows, which include WWDMAGIC, Project, ENKVegas, Pooltradeshow and Sourcing at MAGIC.
So it was big news on Oct. 1 when MAGIC's parent company, Advanstar, announced that it was being acquired for $972 million by UBM PLC, a London-based media and events-producing company. In the announcement, Joe Loggia, Advanstar's chief executive officer, said that the deal will provide new opportunities for international business for the Santa Monica, Calif.–headquartered Advanstar. The deal benefited UBM because it provides an entry into the fashion trade show business. Loggia promised to direct Advanstar for a transitional time after the deal closed.
Since then, MAGIC has announced a new trade show, Playground, which will debut in February. The new show, which was announced on Nov. 10, will showcase clothes from infants' to tweens'. The show will be curated by vendors and retailers, according to a MAGIC statement. Other than the kiddies' show, no other changes seem to be coming down the pike, and there's a good chance that the upcoming February show will look much like MAGIC's August show.
Still, veteran vendors and retailers hope MAGIC will pursue some new directions. With a London-based owner, perhaps MAGIC could bring in more international retailers, some said.
Others said that they hoped that MAGIC would take steps to add more definition to its shows' identities.
Gillian Julius has exhibited her self-named luxe jewelry and accessories brand, Gillian Julius, atENKVegas since before MAGIC acquired it in 2013. She hopes that the company will take more steps to create clearly delineated boundaries between the shows. "The way the mix is now, ENK is attracting a customer who is no longer the right customer, and [vendors] are spending half of the show defending their price points. We never had these issues before," she said.
Gila Leibovitch, who is a co-owner of The Vault group of stores in Laguna Beach, Calif., is a veteran attendee of MAGIC and the satellite shows. She said that she was not sure what UBM will do with its new property, but she hopes that MAGIC will turn into a more compact show. "I'd like to see the entire venue under one big roof. It is so hard for us buyers to jump from venue to venue and have enough time to see everything in a few days," she said of running from the MAGIC shows at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, to other MAGIC shows at the Las Vegas Convention Center, located toward the north end of the often congested Strip.

Now we have real leverage and access before we vote. If each of us would just make one attempt to say something to a senator between now and election day, think about the impact that would have!
Last night Senator Bob Dole was on the News Hour with Judy Woodruff (CRPD discussion begins at 4:00 minutes http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/bob-dole-tells-lawmakers-to-get-together/). She asked him at one point if he thought the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) would be voted on by the Senate. He said that it could come up for a vote when the Senate returns on November 12th and before it leaves for Christmas, which will be the end of the current Congress. If the CRPD does not pass by then, we have to start over. In addition, the pundits project that Republicans will take control of the Senate in January 2015. If that happens our task will be even more challenging.
If you have been reading this blog or have visited www.disabilitytreaty.org, you know what to say to a Senator when you encounter him at a public event within the next two weeks. Those of you who live in states where the Senate races are very, very tight have incredible leverage. In these races the margin of error is around three points. In these races the differences in polling numbers between candidates are often under three points. That means that the race could go either way. That means one conversation with you about the CRPD could be a deciding factor in who returns to the Senate or who enters the Senate for the first time. Think about it. Then, if you really care about disability rights, find a Senator and talk to him. If two people do this it looks pitiful. If we each do it, it projects real power. A choice like this should be a no-brainer.

The Accademia Gallery in Florence is the home of Michelangelo's David, one of the most famous sculptures in the world. But that's not all the work you'll find from this famously grumpy Renaissance man! His unfinished work for Pope Julius' tomb, the Prisoners or I Prigioni, are also housed here.
San Matteo, or Saint Matthew, is also housed here. Since Michelangelo's work was in such high demand when he was alive, a lot of his work in the museum is half-finished! You'll also see great works by Renaissance artists such as Botticelli and Bellini, and learn about the patronage of the Medici family that made all these works possible.
You'll skip the line with your guide before making your way into the museum, seeing some of the greatest masterpieces that call the Accademia home. Don't worry about missing out some of the less famous pieces, though -- after the guided tour you can stay in the museum as long as you like.
Daily, except Mondays and the first Sundays of each month.

For all of you who are looking into the business opportunity that Take Shape for Life offers you need to read this first. Much of the information you hear is all hyped up and is somewhat misleading. It makes this opportunity sound better than it really is and those who sign up due to the hype will more than likely be left discouraged.
If you are wondering is Take Shape for Life a scam then you are in the right place. There are some "shady" elements to this business and I'll be going over them so that you actually know what you are getting yourself into, if of course you do decide to give this business opportunity a go. I'll be going over the things that the company doesn't want you to know in this review.
Take Shape for Life Review
- Company: Take Shape for Life
- Website: tsfl.com
- Recommended?: For some, more on this
Take Shape for Life is a weight loss and weight maintenance nutrition company that was founded in 2003. They sell weight loss coaching programs that provide customers with a structured meal plan as well as the meals to eat.
They operate under a network marketing business model. What this means is that you, and anyone else, can join Take Shape for Life and make money going out as an independent distributor (they call this position a "health coach") and selling their products.
In addition, they have what is called a mlm compensation structure. This means that "Health Coaches" can go out and recruit other health coaches into the business and make money from their efforts.
Some other similar mlm's in the health niche include It Works!, Zurvita, and Shaklee.
The Products
The programs and products that Take Shape for Life has available all seem to be good quality and I don't see anything wrong with them.
I don't want to get too into them all, but here is an example. Their one popular weight maintenance program is the 3 & 3 Plan. This includes 3 meal replacements as well as 3 balanced meals….
If you choose this plan you can then choose from a variety of meals and supplements that work with this. For example, one of the kits that you can buy includes enough meals for 30 days and costs just under $300.
The Business Opportunity
As I mentioned, anyone can join TSFL and become a health coach, selling their products and making money. You can also recruit other health coaches into the business and make money off of what they do, this is the mlm part of it.
Within TSFL there are 10 ranks and the goal is to climb your way to the top, that is how you make good money. If you join in as a Health Coach and don't move up the ranks you won't make much.
Moving up the ranks is all about Group Volume, or GV. This is the amount of products and memberships that you and your "team" (aka your downline) sell.
Here are the 10 ranks…
- Health Coach – This is where you start out (Costs $199 for a starter kit)
- Senior Coach – Need 1000 GV/month and need at least 5 retail customers and/or recruits in your downline
- Manager – Need 3000 GV/month and need at least 5 retail customers and/or recruits in your downline OR have 2 personally recruited Senior Coach ranked affiliates
- Assistant Director – 4000 GV.month and have at least 5 retail customers and/or recruits in your downline OR have three personally recruited Senior Coach ranked affiliates
- Director – 5000 GV/month and have at least 5 retail customers and/or recruits in your downline OR have four personally recruited Senior Coach ranked affiliates
- Executive Director – 6000 GV/month and have at least 5 retail customers and/or recruits in your downline OR have five personally recruited Senior Coach ranked affiliates
- Regional Director – Need to maintain Executive Director rank and have at least 1 Executive Director ranked affiliate in your downline
- National Director – Need to maintain Executive Director rank and have at least 3 Executive Director ranked affiliate in different uni-level legs
- Global Director – Need to maintain Executive Director rank and have at least 5 Executive Director ranked affiliates in different uni-level legs
- Presidential Director – Need to maintain Executive Director rank and have at least 10 Executive Director ranked affiliates in different uni-level legs
Its all about recruiting
Everyone that makes good money with this company, or any mlm for that matter, knows darn well that the key to making good money is by recruiting others. Once you build up your downline big enough you can make decent sums of money by the work that they do alone.
The Compensation Plan
There isn't all that much information on the comp plan in place here. But one of the big money makers that I do know exists in the plan is whats called Generation Commissions.
You see, once you reach the rank of Regional Director, you and your team beneath you "break off" and form your own team in a way. Then when someone on your team reaches that rank they also "break off" and form their own team, which would be called your 1st generation. Now if someone in that generation then breaks off and forms their own team that is called your 2nd generation, and so on.
In this comp plan you can earn commissions on up to 5 generations deep, which means you can make money off of a lot of people if you make it high enough.
Is This a Pyramid Scheme?
Although it is obvious that the compensation plan gives plenty of incentive to go out and recruit other people in beneath you, there isn't enough here to say that it amounts to a pyramid scheme.
For this to be a product based pyramid scheme its revenue would have to be overly dependent on recruitment rather than sales to the general public. And I just don't see that being true.
One of good things that TSFL does is it doesn't hand give members commissions for recruiting people when those recruits purchase the starter kit. They only get paid from the GV after that point. This is a good sign of a legitimate mlm.
All in all, this just doesn't come across as a pyramid scheme to me. The difference between a mlm and a pyramid scheme can somewhat be blurry at times, but this definitely isn't.
Final Thoughts & What I Recommend
The products that TSFL has are great, so if you want to help people lose weight and make money doing it, then by all means go for this opportunity. Just don't underestimate how difficult its going to be. Recruitment of other Health Coaches is key to making good money. You have to recruit, climb those ranks, and make full use of the comp plan in place.
But it ain't easy and the statistics prove this. The 2015 official income disclosure is as follows… (I know its old but its the most recent official one I could find)
As you can see, 81% of all Health Coaches made much less than $10,000 for the entire year on average. And 47% made less than $250 for the entire year.
The bottom line is that you HAVE to be able to recruit to make it big in this business. If you don't have that salesperson type of personality this might be difficult. If you do, then it might be a good fit.
Personally, I don't have anything even close to a salesperson type personality and there is no way I would make it in this mlm business. I just wouldn't be any good at recruiting. If you are like me then I would recommend you take a peek at how I make money online.
I make a living working for myself online, which I think is a pretty awesome job. You can learn more about it by clicking the link below that will take you to a post I wrote.
In the post I wrote I explain what it is that I do, how it all works, and how others can do the same.
Comments, questions, concerns??? Leave them below in the comment section and I'll get back to you soon ?
