Whether you have no credit history or a long history of good credit, it is important to know and understand how to build your credit score. Regardless of what some may promise, there is no quick, overnight way to achieve a "good" credit score. Building a solid credit history, improving a reputation with lenders, and increasing your credit score is a process that takes time, diligence, and responsible financial practice.
The key to building your credit score is knowledge and discipline. The more you know about your credit report, such as factors that affect your credit score and healthy habits to improve and build your credit score, the more you stand to benefit in the long run. Here are a few strategies for how to build your credit score.
Payment history makes up 35% of your credit score, the largest single factor. Late payments, delinquent accounts, closed accounts, judgements, debt collection, etc. can quickly impact your score and will linger for some time. Late payments generally stay on record for up to two years, whereas bankruptcy can linger for seven years and judgements up to ten. Since your credit history is predominantly used to determine whether you can pay back a loan or make payments on a revolving line of credit, late payments can deflate a credit score rapidly.
The best way to counter the effects of late payments is to make payments on time. Over time, prior late payments will disappear, however, there is another way to counteract previously reported late payments and build your credit score.
Set Reminders Don't forget another payment by setting reminders. If you use a smartphone or online calendar, set a recurring monthly alert to remind you several days before the payment due date and again two days before it is due. You may wish to send yourself an email (many calendar apps will automatically send email reminders of events). If you prefer a physical reminder, take a few minutes to write it on your calendar for each month, or put up sticky notes on your desk. When you've paid the bill, move the note to a "Completed" area. There are a host of reminder options, but the important thing is to keep your bill due dates visible so you don't forget them.
Here's an easy one. Order a credit report from the three credit reporting agencies: Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Federal Law allows every American to receive one free credit report each year. To do this, visit www.annualcreditreport.com
Once you've received your credit report, check it closely for accuracy. Do all of the past accounts look familiar? Is the payment history correct? Are the recent credit inquiries accurate? Is your address and job history correct? If anything looks wrong, follow the instructions on your credit report to dispute charges.
Checking your credit report is incredibly important because it can tip you off to any potential identity theft or unauthorized accounts. If these are left unchecked, fraudulent action could result in major damage to your credit score. The more damage you receive, the harder it is to fix.
All credit is not the same. While taking out a loan may seem like an odd solution to build your credit, it can often help to diversify your credit portfolio (which makes up 10% of your FICO credit score). There are various types of credit and having a good mix signals to lenders for what you're using each line. For example, if you are buying a car, and decide to take out another credit card to pay for it rather than an auto loan, lenders aren't able to make the connection to this major purchase. Instead, they may be concerned that you needed the money for other financial troubles and see you as a higher risk.
Installment Credit One type of credit is installment credit. Installment credit, or non-revolving credit, is a set amount of money given to you that you agree to pay over a fixed time period. Popular examples of installment credit are credit builder loans, auto loans, home mortgages, student loans, and personal loans. All of these offer you a specified amount of money over an agreed upon loan term. The drawback to some of these is that most require a hard inquiry into your credit report, and if you are someone with no credit or poor credit, the possibility for a loan is small.
Credit Builder Accounts One option that does not require a hard credit pull, and therefore no credit score, is a Self Lender credit builder account. Credit builder accounts are a combination loan and savings program and do not provide upfront money like a traditional loan. Instead, the loan is placed into a secured CD account. You make payments, just as you would a normal loan, and when the loan is paid off, then you receive the money (plus interest earned on the account). Like the name suggests, this is designed for people looking to establish or build credit, but it also has the advantage of forcing the borrower to save money. When looking to build credit history, a credit builder account is a responsible and viable option.
If you have a credit card or cards, use them regularly. Credit cards are a type of revolving credit and creditors want to see that you are actively using your credit. Not using your credit, or consistently paying your card balance down to $0, could be viewed as an inactive account.
On the other hand, also don't overuse your cards. Only use what you can pay back each month. If you have to carry a balance—because sometimes emergencies happen—most experts recommend that you do not carry a balance more than 30% of your credit limit. This means that if you have a $1,000 credit limit, try not to ever carry more than $300 over to the next month.
Debt Ratio Second only to payment history, your total amount of debt accounts for a large portion of your credit score, 30%. Having a high debt to credit ratio, that is the total amount owed vs. the total credit limit, can have an adverse effect on your credit score. And maxing out a card can be very harmful, as well. Creditors want to see good, responsible, controlled use of credit before loaning money.
Many people look to close old credit accounts, perhaps to remove temptation or because it is no longer needed or used. But closing an account may have a negative effect on your credit score. When you close an account, your overall credit limit it then decreased, which means your debt to credit ratio (see #3 above) increases. If that closed account still has a balance, that debt does not disappear, so the debt to credit ratio goes up even further. So before you close an account, understand that your credit score can be affected. If you can control your spending and limit use, it could be in your best interest to keep it open. But if it could lead to more debt and payment troubles, closing may benefit you in the long run.
Length of Credit History Another factor on your credit score is the length of your credit history. When looking at length of credit history, the FICO score will consider a few things: age of the oldest and newest account, average age of all accounts, how long different types (revolving and installment) have been established, and how long it's been the account has been used. If you are considering closing an account, take this into consideration. You may want to close your oldest account because it has the highest limit, interest rate, debt, etc. But if you do so, that would change your oldest active account AND lower the average age of all accounts. This shortens the length of your credit history and it might lower your credit score.
Asking for a credit limit increase will immediately decrease your debt to credit ratio. However, proceed with caution if asking for a credit limit increase. If your cards are nearly maxed out, this may provide some temptation to add more debt. Increasing your credit limit is not a guaranteed fix especially if your spending is starting to get out of control or if you are living beyond your means. Most people take on extra debt with every intention to pay it back, but it's easy to lose sight of debt and let it get out of control. If you're near or below that 30% debt mark, this may be an option, but if you're near your limits, this may hurt you financially in the long run.
Another good way to build your credit is to become an authorized user on someone else card. Whether this is a parent or spouse, it should be a mutual agreement with open expectations. And you should always abide by the expectations given to you by the card owner. Look at it like you are a guest in their credit house. Respect the credit and use it as you are allowed. Financial stress and misuse can cause major relationship tension, and misuse of someone else's card, even if you are an authorized user, will not only hurt you, it will harm their credit. But more devastating, it could destroy a relationship. If someone allows you to become an authorized user, look at it as a gift. Treat it with respect. Use it sparingly and only for purchases the owner approves. If you don't know what is expected or what you could purchase and how much, ask. The owner of the card is placing a huge amount of trust in you, so do whatever you can to keep and build that trust.
If you find that financial planning is difficult, you don't know where to start, you need some extra support, or you seek more advice, you may want to consider a credit counselor. A credit counselor can help you reduce interest or fees, create a plan to be debt free, and consolidate debt among many other services. If you do seek out a credit counselor, approach with the same warnings as a credit repair company. Is this someone looking out for your best interest or someone looking for you to sign up and pay out? If it sounds too good to be true, or too quick and easy, it probably is.
You may have seen ads for companies offering to repair and improve your credit. Many of these companies are legitimate and will take necessary actions to help you repair inaccuracies and create new, better credit habits. But it's important to note that these companies do not offer any service that you could not do yourself for FREE.
Credit repair companies often start by looking at your credit report and verifying that all of the information (e.g. lines of credit, inquiries, loans, etc) are correct. If anything is found to be inaccurate, then they will dispute the inaccuracy on your behalf and oversee that it is removed. In other situations, they may offer to consolidate credit, that is put all your outstanding debt into one payment with possibly a smaller payment. This may involve the company "settling" your debt, or working out an agreement with the creditor to take a much lower payment than is owed.
Settling debt may sound like a great option, but it does come with consequences. It is reported to the credit bureaus as "PAID-NOT AS AGREED" and therefore could have a negative impact on your credit score. If your credit score has been severely damaged already, the impact may not be as great, but it is undoubtedly a negative factor. If possible, it's always best to pay in full.
In most cases, credit repair will also come with a fee for the service. As mentioned before, you can do any and all of these procedures yourself and for free by contacting the creditors. From disputing inaccuracies to settling a debt, you can call or write the appropriate parties to have these issues resolved. But if you are unsure of the process, prefer to have an expert deal with the creditors, and are willing to spend the money, credit repair can be a viable option.
But beware of some credit repair services. A credit repair service is forbidden by law to take any money before rendering services to you; they should not be asking for money upfront. Your credit score also has many factors that influence it, so a certain score increase cannot be guaranteed. If you see a credit repair company making promises like these, run for the hills.

Prior to the launch, I was already a semi-regular Dr. Morita user. The first one I ever tried was their Intense Hydrating Serum Facial Mask. I really liked how it gave my skin a super boost of hydration and made it so soft and supple, even after just one use. Today, though, I'll be reviewing the mask we were given at the launch and one of their top sellers: the Hyaluronic Acid Essence Mask (Php74.00/per sheet).
Dr. Morita says...
The Dr. Morita Hyaluronic Acid Essence Mask includes large, medium, and small Ceramide molecules and complex moisturizing ingredients that keeps skin moist, smooths fine lines, and resists skin aging.AIW Skin Care 101: Hyaluronic acid is an important ingredient, especially for dry skin. It prevents premature aging because as we all know, the key to keeping skin looking young is moisture and hyaluronic acid is a humectant, a moisture-binding ingredient. Ceramides, on the other hand, are lipids (oils). They also help to retain moisture and strengthen the skin's barrier.
Using my trusty skin analyzer, I'm going to show you the effectiveness of the Dr. Morita Hyaluronic Acid Essence Mask after just one use. Prior to using the mask, and applying any other skin care products, you can see just how rough and dry my skin naturally is. If zero is the middle ground, all readings actually show up in the negative number zone.
So after washing my face, I put on the mask and let it work its magic for 10-15 minutes. I then toss the mask away and let my skin absorb the essence for another 5-10 minutes. Here are the results...
Look at the difference after using one Dr. Morita mask for just 15 minutes! You can see how powerful the ceramide molecules were that the oils in my skin reached the maximum level on the analyzer. Thanks to those molecules being different sizes like advertised, they really penetrated my skin. The moisture levels of my skin also got a big jump and my skin became much smoother. The numbers don't lie!
Aside from the obviously great effects, I like the fit of the mask too. They adhere almost perfectly to my face which means I reap maximum benefits from it. The fine, cotton material used is also quite thin, so even if it's soaked in essence, it's not heavy and doesn't constantly slide down my face. Dr. Jhou himself, CEO of Dr. Morita, dismissed the myth during the launch that thicker masks have more essence as their masks are thin but can still hold plenty of it.
Have you tried any of the Dr. Morita sheet masks yet? Which one is your favorite? Let me know!

Why Us
5 Reasons
1. We think differently
Our vision: To create a world without waste
Our mission: To enable people to reduce waste in their daily lives
Our brand is about thinking differently and making a difference.
2. Our local roots
We are small local initiative that wants to rid the world of plastic toothbrushes and are the first local brand in the country.
In South Africa, a country with 53 million people, one could say that approximately 212 million conventional plastic toothbrushes are thrown away and sent to landfill each year. Globally 3.5 billion are sent to landfill, which amounts to 35 000 tons of waste per year conservatively, as the average manual toothbrush weighs 10g-20g. These plastic toothbrushes can't be recycled and do not biodegrade. This means that they end up in landfill or in our oceans; impacting our environment by contaminating the soil and groundwater and being ingested by wildlife. This contributes to the death of millions of land and marine wildlife each year.
Bamboo is a sustainable alternative that has minimal impact on the environment to grow and make into products. Simply bamboo's natural toothbrush is made from sustainably grown MOSO bamboo - this bamboo variety is not one eaten by pandas and as such does not impact their food security. In addition, it can grow back at rates as much as approx. 1 metre per day.
We have an obligation to preserve our beautiful planet for future generations.
4. Our ergonomic design
Our Simply Bamboo Toothbrushes are the first to be proudly South African designed. We've focused on providing you with a sleek high quality and ergonomic design– aiming to give you a toothbrush that looks good, feels good to hold, and most importantly feels good on your teeth. Not to mention, the handle 100% biodegradable and eliminates about 94% of the waste created by conventional plastic toothbrushes.
We have variants made for both adults and children for a comfortable brushing experience. The adult handle is 19cm long, whereas the kid's handle is 14cm long.
4. Our soft, fine, charcoal-infused bristles
We have used soft bristles, as these come recommended by dentists, due to the fact that they are less abrasive on your teeth and gums, allowing you to gently clean your mouth. No more gum bleeds.
Our fine bristles are not all uniform in length and are also thin for more precise cleaning that get to those hard-to-reach places between your teeth.
The charcoal infusion in our bristles allows for better absorption of plaque, and reduction of stains for whiter and cleaner teeth.
5. The many benefits of bamboo
- Naturally biodegrable
- Bamboo is naturally antibacterial and water resistant
- It is strong, light and durable
- An excellent alternative to plastic
- Embracing a cradle-to-cradle design – meaning that our brush returns to the soil from which it originally came, to grow new bamboo
- Bamboo is a type of grass that grows back rapidly for sustainable consumption
- Bamboo requires little water to grow

Chances are, you've probably heard how much retinol can help your anti-aging skin care regime. But are you really using it as often as you should? So many other anti-aging products emerged onto the skin care market since retinol became popular decades ago, it's taken some of the focus away from this amazing and trustworthy product.
You're probably using some simple, go-to products and some of the latest and greatest to take care of your skin and help ease your laugh lines. But are you still using retinol?
Whether you are currently using a retinol product or you aren't, you'll be amazed and interested to see why you should continue using retinol in your daily regime.
It's Backed Up By Science
In the scientific community, there are only a few types of anti-aging products you'd find in your regime that doctors around the world agree via research that actually demonstrate proven results. Do you know what they are? Hydroxy acids, vitamin C, and retinol. That's about it.
And do you know which one is widely backed by research as the best anti-wrinkle cream ingredient? If you guessed retinol, you are correct. Retinol does more than just ease current wrinkles and prevent future ones from forming, it can also help even out pigmented skin, reduce acne, and best of all, encourage your skin to exfoliate and turn over, so you look glowing. Now who doesn't want that?
It Helps Your Genes
Genetically speaking, you've got genes that are programmed dictating your aging skin to do whatever it's doing. However, retinol can intervene and make those genes listen so you age slowly. You might be wondering how exactly retinol influences your genes. As you age, your collagen, hyaluronic acid production and elastin all decrease because of your genes, and this causes wrinkles. However, if you add a little retinol to your regime, retinol actually ups the ante on genes that decrease the production of collagen. This factor means your collagen breakdown simply won't happen as quickly as it would of before without the retinol.
It Doesn't Take Much
If you've ever shopped for retinol before, you probably know there are so many products offering differing percentages of retinol in them, you're wondering what's best. Know that it really doesn't matter; any percentage will give you these great results. From higher percentages you get faster results, but you also have an increase in side effects. So really it is up to you how you go about it.
It's A Simple Product to Add to Your Regime
Because it doesn't take much, and it's usually just one step you do at night and not in the morning, it's an easy product to add to what you are already doing. Most people start using it every third night or every other night and build up if they are new to the product.
It's Side Effects Can Be Managed
Most people have side effects the first six to eight weeks of using retinol. Flaking, dry red skin is the common result, but you can actually totally avoid these issues if you just start out slowly and remember to use a small dosage with a moisturizer.
It's Easy to Find
You can find products with retinol in them almost anywhere. Know that you can go to your local drugstore, or mall, and get a good retinol product for your skin.

To "B" or not to "B"! That is the question of the year it seems — and surely not Cooper Dan's interest in the breadth of ladies' bumpers.
Actually it seems to have been the question for many years now, but many of us will always answer in the most accepted form there is, which is a big "NO!" No one wants to deal with the stigma attached to being a "B". Well, so it seemed a few years back, but these days being a "B" or of a "B" is no big deal anymore.
The level of pride that goes with being a "B" is growing daily. Females are more likely to show their colours than males and when they do they couldn't care who looks or what they say. It is flaunted with more pride than a Jamaican flag after, during and before Usain Bolt dismisses the opposition.
My question is plain and simple: Why? I for sure don't go around stamping my preference for all to see or to be well aware of my letter in the alphabet, so why is it that others must?
The answer could be as simple as because they choose to, or it could be one that delves into the struggles they face to be accepted by all humankind and the taunts and aggression they encounter because they chose to be different. I should go on to say that difference chose them in some cases more so than they making the choice.
What drives me nuts is when those who chose to "B" seem to be pushing so hard their way of living that they seem to be trying to convert others. I see this a lot with the young females. They make the choice they have chosen or that has chosen them come over as cheap, dirty and even rebellious at times.
They have taken the path to "B" and seem to be more interested in proving why their way is the way. I guess those of us who get annoyed and try to show why it is wrong to "B" based on whatever grounds we choose to build our argument, may be seen in a similar if not even light. We are quick to quote Bible scriptures, but yet we are being more sinful than Satan and Osama. It seems like there is no win for either side.
Every big movie or sitcom these days must have a couple or two who are fighting with their chosen path or have decided to be as bold and brave as can be and let the world know exactly what they are. It is not something you can get away from, because the world of television has made it very clear that they are going to be as liberal as ever.
Modern Family is one that comes to mind and I must say I find that show rather entertaining. What I don't like is when a grown man has to make the extra effort to be what he is. The same for the females these days as well. Grabbing their crotches, and buying out all the size 34 Levi jeans is a classic example. The buying out of the jeans is the more annoying part for me.
The men who must walk and try to be more wiggly than the worm on the end of a fishing rod, plus wear very bad weaves and make up can be a bit tough for some to digest. I guess it depends on your digestive system and your taste.
On the other hand I think what makes one most comfortable is the way one should be. I don't think I am homophobic or condoning any unchristian like behaviour. I always say keep your style and way to yourself and I don't get caught up with the bashing.
What I think I may need to do is start a heterosexual society. With the emergence of the latest association "BGLAD", it is clear to see some equality is being sought. I have young children and if anyone of them comes to me and says "Daddy, I have decided to 'B'," I will have no choice but to respect their way. My not accepting it is another story, but it could only make it harder for me.
The world is changing and will continue to change. More and more will get sick while being in the closet and decide to come out. I only ask that the preference be kept and not masked to please the public. That sort of behaviour angers me very much.
I have seen families destroyed and left in tatters after something like this comes to the fore and it usually is through being caught and not through a confession. I am still contemplating my association, and male and female are all invited. With the way things are going and the rate in which they are, just like the other fading species, so too could the heterosexual.
If you choose to be or not to be, that's a matter for you. I still see you as a human being and not as an alien. Be respectful whatever path you take, be it a straight one or otherwise. There will always be debate for and against and more often than not the wishes of the Holy Book will be heavily pushed.
At present I have chosen, or should I again say that my path has chosen me not to be. I may not be part of the minority, but like those who have their pride in their way of life, so too do I and I will not be making any move from my stance in any time to come. That is what I will always be.

Michael Buffer (November 2, 1944) is an American ring announcer for boxing and professional wrestling matches. He is known for his trademarked catchphrase, "Let's get ready to rumble!" and for pioneering a distinct announcing style in which he rolls certain letters and adds other inflections to a fighter's name. His half-brother is UFC announcer Bruce Buffer.
Early life
Buffer was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to an enlisted man in the United States Navy and his wife during World War II. His parents divorced when he was 11 months of age, and Buffer was then raised by foster parents, a school bus driver and housewife, in the Philadelphia suburb of Roslyn. He enlisted in the United States Army during the Vietnam War at age 20 and served until age 23. He held various jobs including a car salesman, then began a modeling career at age 32 before becoming a ring announcer at age 38.
Buffer was formerly the exclusive ring announcer for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) main events featuring Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair or other top WCW talent until 2001, when the promotion was sold to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The WCW's former parent company Time Warner owned through their pay-per-view subscription division HBO, which broadcast many matches from promoter Top Rank, of which Buffer is the lead ring announcer. The exclusivity of his contract with WCW prevented Buffer from announcing for other wrestling-type organizations, forcing him to stop announcing for the UFC (his only UFC cards were UFC 6 and UFC 7). However, when WCW ceased to exist, and Time Warner had no more affiliation with professional wrestling, Buffer was enabled to announce in other wrestling promotions. Triple H created the phrase "Let's get ready to suck it!" as part of his D-Generation X act to mock Buffer while he was on WWF Raw's rival show WCW Monday Nitro during the Monday Night Wars.
On the August 18, 2007 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, for the first time in more than six years, Buffer returned to pro-wrestling ring announcing duties at Madison Square Garden in a boxing match between pro boxer Evander Holyfield (who was substituting for Montel Vontavious Porter) and pro wrestler Matt Hardy. Buffer appears in the Royal Rumble 2008 commercial, in which he begins to say "Let's get ready to rumble!" only to be superkicked by Shawn Michaels, causing him to fall over. As well as being in the commercial for the event, he was the guest ring announcer during the Royal Rumble match itself.
Personal life
Buffer first wed at age 21. The marriage, which ended in divorce after seven years, produced two sons. More than 25 years passed before he remarried in 1999. He and his second wife divorced in 2003.
On September 13, 2007, while making an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he proposed to his current (third) wife, Christine. Buffer currently resides in Southern California. His half-brother Bruce is the announcer for leading mixed martial arts promotion, Ultimate Fighting Championship. Both Michael and Bruce are grandsons of late boxer Johnny Buff.
In 2008 Buffer was treated for throat cancer.

Small Kitchen Design Picture Gallery - Typically, little kitchen appliances are handy.
Unlike large appliances which cannot be easily moved and so are mostly fixtures, little kitchen appliances may be portable or semi-portable. All these are mostly used on tabletops countertops and a number of other stages. A lot of the little appliances which can be found in homes are utilizing electricity. They may come with a a detachable or permanent wire to be plugged right into a wall outlet. Some may additionally use batteries to get a few hand-held appliances.
There are bigger counterparts for some small appliances. For instance, a toaster oven has the same function as that of a big oven. Small appliances also provide variations for family and commercial uses. Designs for the commercial variant are designed to withstand constant usage, just like the ones found in restaurants. Most little appliances are moderately priced like the basic can opener and also the coffee maker. Some can even be very expensive just like the espresso maker that is elaborate.
Small kitchen appliances are likely used the most and they provide the finishing touches demanded in every kitchen. Kitchen chores are made convenient and a whole lot easier using the help of these little pieces of gear. There are minor disadvantages though. Small kitchen appliances may eventually be a haven for bacteria, if not cleaned nicely. It might even cause fires or even used correctly or if they can be defective. Therefore it is a must to read the instructions with knowledge.

About your Diet: Salt and Cholesterol
Heart disease and strokes are two to four times more common in people with diabetes than in people without. A healthy diet, low in salt and fat, can help minimize this risk.
When you have too much cholesterol in your bloodstream, it builds up in your artery walls, causing them to narrow - reducing and possibly blocking the flow of blood. If the blood flow becomes completely cut off to the heart or brain, this will lead to a heart attack or stroke.
It is important to control your blood cholesterol. Although some fat is part of a healthy diet, the type of fat you eat is important in controlling your cholesterol level.
A simple way to look at this is to break fats down into bad fats and good fats.
Fats that come from animals and some vegetable oils are often considered bad fats. These fats can quickly build up in your arteries increasing your chances of a heart attack or stroke.
Your body does require some fat. Small amounts of good fats such as nuts, seeds and oily fish are part of a healthy diet but they should be consumed in moderation.
A key factor leading to heart and stroke is high blood pressure. When you eat foods high in salt, your blood pressure increases putting a strain on your arteries.
With high blood pressure, your heart pumps harder to circulate blood. This causes damage to your heart and blood vessels throughout the body leading to complications such as heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, impaired vision and aneurysms.
A substantial amount salt intake comes in packaged food. Read food labels closely, looking for foods with little or no added salt, often referred to, as sodium.
A healthy lifestyle, including regular activity, and a diet low in fat and salt, along with taking your prescribed medication, can help control your cholesterol level and lower your blood pressure. This can reduce the chance of developing complications related to these conditions.

text: September 30, 2010 Virginia's Spring Turkey Hunting Outlook Will the Old Monarch be gobbling in your neck of the woods this season? Here's the latest on the statewide turkey hunting prospects in Virginia this year. (March 2007) By Bruce Ingram Photo by Philip JordanEvery year, I look forward to spring break from the Botetourt County high school where I teach so that I can travel out of state and out of my home region to turkey hunt. So for six days, I had been on the road in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Scott County in far southwestern Virginia. I had killed two birds during Virginia's fall season, and I thought that I would have easily tagged out before spring break began, but to my chagrin, had been unable to do so.Adding to my dissatisfaction was the fact that my week-long road trip had been fraught with frustration. In North Carolina, two hunters on ATVs had run off a longbeard. In the Volunteer State, twice on the same outing hail storms came to wreck my chances just when multiple toms were approaching. On another Tennessee hunt, dogs had spooked turkeys that were on their way in. Finally, in Scott County, a thunderstorm and feral dogs combined to shut up a longbeard and a jake that were almost within shooting range. And so it was that on Monday before school, after a week of having proverbially all the time in the world and not killing a bird, I decided to go to my favorite Botetourt County farm, my "home farm" as I call it, where I have killed five turkeys this decade. But with only 90 minutes to hunt and my past week of failure, I was not optimistic. I teach my high school English students that one of the definitions of the literary term irony is when an outcome is different than expected. And as just about anyone who hunts spring gobblers knows, this pastime is steeped with irony. I had scouted the property the day before and had heard a gobbler repeatedly sounding off at 9 a.m., so before dawn broke, I was set up in a hollow about 100 yards down the mountain from where I thought the old boy might roost.I know the conventional wisdom is to position oneself above a gobbler, but I was afraid that if I tried that gambit I would spook the turkey off the roost in the pre-dawn murk. Better to be cautious, I thought, and then make a move, if necessary, after fly down. In this case, the conventional wisdom was correct because when the lonely longbeard sounded off on the roost, as I knew he would, he was only 75 yards away and dawn had already broken. I sat helpless and frustrated (that word again) as the frantic bird gobbled repeatedly from his chestnut oak. When I saw him fly down just 65 or so yards away, I gave him some soft yelps. However, he was not impressed with those come-hither sounds or the hen decoy that I had placed in front of me before sunrise. So for the next hour, I sat motionless and watched the tom strut back and forth, rooted to the same spot and still 65 yards distant. It was then that his racket attracted a hen and she joined him on his strutting ground. The commotion also drew four other gobblers that, out of respect for their apparent superior, skirted his strutting zone and marched right past my position, just out of shooting range. I called to the approaching quartet, but they were apparently on a mission to somewhere else. Having seen five gobblers before 7:15 a.m. but not sealing the deal with any of them had sent me into an even deeper funk. But that's when the fates intervened. Unexplainably, one of the gobblers peeled off from his gang of four and the next thing I knew had gobbled directly behind me, just 20 yards away.I glimpsed him out of the corner of my left eye and quickly ascertained that he was not as impressive a bird as the tom out in front of me. But this satellite gobbler offered something that the longbeard still 65 yards away did not: a shot at a tom that was within range of my 12 gauge. When the gobbler moved so that he was in front of me and disappeared behind a tulip poplar, I mounted my shotgun, then fired when he reappeared, thus putting an end to my Virginia turkey season. Ironically, I had traveled over 600 miles the week before and not fired a shot and traveled six miles one morning before school and tagged out.A great many Old Dominion sportsmen experienced the joy that I did that late April morning, as 17,915 Virginia toms were checked in. The tally was the fourth best ever and was an impressive 20 percent increase over the 2005 harvest. The upsurge was evident statewide.Individuals east of the Blue Ridge killed 11,069 turkeys, an increase of 26 percent over 2005. Their counterparts west of the Blue Ridge experienced a solid 10 percent gain with a tally of 6,126. Gary Norman, the individual most responsible for keeping tabs on turkeys for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF), believes the 2004 hatch had quite a bit to do with the 2006 harvest."Over the past five years, the poult-to-hen ratio has averaged 2.1, the biologist explained. "In 2004, the ratio was 3.1, well above average for recent estimates. Two-year-old birds generally make up about one-third of our harvest, so that age-class was well represented in the population. Three-year-old birds are also a key component of the harvest. "The ratio of juveniles to hens in 2003 was average. Collectively, we had a good number of 2- and 3-year-old birds available this past spring. Of course, it takes good weather, too, particularly on weekends and during the early part of the season, when most of the birds are harvested."Norman is correct that generally, the weather was favorable. On the opening day Saturday, I spent the morning in Franklin County where I heard approximately 12 gobblers sound off on the farm on which I was afield. Obviously, Saturdays are the days when most state sportsmen can go hunting, and that day throughout the season saw cool, sunny weather for the most part.One of the most interesting things about spring gobbler hunting is that biologists often know well before the season what kind of year it will be. In any given year, the most vocal birds will be those 2-year-old males -- the same ones that are often most willing to venture in. So for the coming 2007 season, the 2005 hatch is crucial. Norman weighs in. "The poult-to-hen ratio was 1.9 in 2005, near the recent average," he said. "Therefore, one could expect an average age-class of 2-year-old birds, all things being equal, for example, no abnormal fall harvest due to mast failures. Given good weather, I expect the 2007 harvest to be in the neighborhood of 17,000 to 18,000 birds."Based on the voluminous statistics that the VDGIF keeps on turkey hunting, 92 percent of the turkeys killed this past spring were 2-year-old and older gobblers. Some years, though, 1-year-old males, jakes, make up a higher percentage of the harvest because of good poult production the year before. The number of jakes present this spring will also give an indication of what hunting will be like in 2008 -- so the 2006 hatch is very important to hunters this season, too.I have two simple formulas to very roughly determine how the hatch has been in Botetourt and Craig counties, the two domains where I most often hunt. In June and July, I drive back roads looking for hens with poults. This past summer, I observed quite a few mama hens with young -- sometimes as many as 10 to 12 birds. I also watch for flocks coming to my back yard in July to dine on the wild blackberries that grow in a transition zone between the yard and woods. This past summer, I glimpsed a flock several times -- a very good sign. Gary Norman, of course, has a more reliable method of determining poult production. One positive sign was that much of the state experienced a mild winter and an early spring."The early warm spring weather always helps get things going as far as spring green-up, which does seem to help with earlier nesting and more re-nesting efforts," he said. "Rainfall picked up later in the summer, which typically is not a problem unless accompanied by cold temperatures. We had good numbers of brood reports early. Seems like brood reports in eastern Virginia weren't as good as the west."Of course, the success or failure of a hatch is not known until the VDGIF has had time to analyze the fall harvest, and figures for the 2006-07 season were not available at press time. The number of jakes and jennies in the harvest tells biologists what poult production was like the previous spring and summer.TRENDS AND STATSAs noted, Gary Norman keeps voluminous amounts of statistics regarding turkeys and that enables him, the VDGIF, and us turkey fanatics to know much more about this marvelous big-game bird. One of the more interesting aspects of the statistics is how each region fared.Norman reports that the North Mountain region's harvest in 2006 was 15 percent greater than its five-year average, which was better than any other region. The Tidewater (7 percent), South Piedmont (5 percent) and Northern Piedmont (4 percent) also did well. However, the South Mountain expanse exhibited a harvest of 4,147 -- a decrease, but a decrease of less than 1 percent.The top 10 counties (with the harvest number in parentheses) were as follows: Bedford (627), Franklin (539), Pittsylvania (528), Southampton (426), Scott (338), Halifax (336), Rockbridge (325), Grayson (312), Sussex (301) and Patrick (298). Perhaps even more important than the actual harvest is the kill per square mile of forest. A county with a high harvest could attain that tally simply because the county itself is large. A county with a high harvest and a high kill per square mile of forest would be an outstanding place to go this spring, but so would a small county with a high harvest per square mile.The following is the kill by square mile of forest by region: Tidewater (0.91), South Piedmont (0.73), South Mountain (0.75), North Mountain (0.57) and North Piedmont (0.43). Statewide, the figure was 0.69.Alphabetically, here is every county in the state that attained a kill per square mile of forest harvest of 0.90 or better. If your home county is in this list, chances are good that this domain has a history of providing quality spring hunting and that the same will likely hold true this year. The counties are as follows: Amelia (0.93), Carroll (0.94), Charles City (1.00), Clarke (1.09), Cumberland (0.91), Floyd (1.28), Franklin (1.20), Frederick (1.09), Gloucester (1.02), Grayson (1.24), Isle of Wight (1.35), Lancaster (1.77), Lee (0.91), Matthews (0.93), Middlesex (1.13), Northampton (1.52), Northumberland (1.89), Prince George (1.09), Pulaski (0.90), Richmond (1.45), Scott (0.94), Southampton (1.13), Surry (1.25), Westmoreland (1.61) and Wythe (1.22).Several tidbits become noticeable after examining these lists. First, Franklin, Southampton, Scott and Grayson made both lists, confirming that this quartet offers outstanding turkey hunting. Second, a number of small, especially Tidewater, counties offer underrated sport. These flatland domains include Charles City, Gloucester, Isle of Wight, Lancaster, Matthews, Middlesex, Northampton, Northumberland, Prince George, Surrey and Westmoreland, among others. If you can obtain permission to farms in this group, chances are very good that you will hear plenty of gobbling on opening morning.One of the most interesting aspects to me is the percentage of Virginia spring turkey hunters that actually kill a bird. "Our most recent estimate was that 25.4 percent of spring gobbler hunters are successful," Norman said. "That's slightly higher than previous years. I think we're on par or ahead of most other states in the region. Another way of looking at this statistic is how long does it take to harvest a gobbler. In 2004, it took 13.3 days to harvest a bird. In 1993, it took 25.6 days on average to harvest a bird. So clearly, things are getting better for spring gobbler hunters."There are more of us in the woods chasing birds, too. In 1993, only 43,000 Virginians sought spring gobblers. Today, the total is 73,000 and has been holding steady at that figure.Another interesting aspect is the kill per week. The Commonwealth has offered a special youth opener for several years now on the first Saturday in April. Last year saw a harvest of 341 birds on that day. The harvest by time period was as follows: Opening day: 13 percent; week 1: 32 percent; week 2: 18 percent; week 3: 13 percent; week 4: 12 percent; and week 5: 10 percent. All kinds of explanations can be given on why opening day and the first two weeks of the season account for 50 percent of the harvest. Certainly, it is true that more toms are available then and as more males are checked in, fewer exist to hunt. But I also believe, as noted earlier, that since only one-fourth of all Virginia turkey hunters are successful and given how hard it is to kill a gobbler, many of us simply give up after the first fortnight.My personal philosophy on killing a turkey is very simple. I hunt every day, even if the time is only an hour in the woods before work, until I tag out or the season ends. In 21 spring seasons, I have only killed two birds on opening day and infrequently have done well the first week. But eventually persistence does result in success, for me or anyone else.Gary Norman also suggested that I share the gobbling intensity per week information with readers. The VDGIF groups gobbling intensity into three categories (no gobbling, poor gobbling, or fair-good). The best hunting conditions appeared during the second week of the season with the highest positive conditions (fair-good gobbling) and the lowest negative conditions (no gobbling). Hunts with no gobbling tended to increase as the season progressed. This, of course, could be another reason that the harvest declines later in the season.This spring, Youth Day is on April 7 and the regularspring season begins on April 14, with the hours being from one-half hour before sunrise until noon. Beginning May 7 and continuing until the last day of the season, May 19, all-day hunting is in effect. The limit is one bearded bird per day, three per license year, providing that no turkeys were harvested in the fall. If a hunter killed one fall bird, then he will have two tags left for the spring; if an individual killed two fall birds, then he will have one tag left for the spring.

"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." - (Attributed seemingly by mistake to) Mark Twain
I may sound arrogant, but the more aware I've become that our mind distorts reality, the more clearly I've been experiencing and witnessing, even with my still distorting mind, in both myself and others that many of us, including myself and many others, that we have more (blind) faiths and even (blind) meta-faiths than we think. This is something totally new I've never noticed before.
Since I started rather recently to dare to express my new direct experiences with this new meta-awareness, I've started to experience strong objections by more and more friends and acquaintances of mine in various emotional forms such as accusing, yelling, and even calling names not only in private but even in public.
I have an impression that these experiences of mine, which these people called "blind faiths", seem to threaten them and their blind faiths they themselves seem to be unaware of, that is, they have no less blind faiths and, worse still, a blind meta-faith in that they believe they have no blind faiths as accepting these experiences forces them to examine their blind faiths non-blindly for the first time. I've noticed this blind meta-faith, which is far more dangerous than blind faiths per se, among not only religious but also secular people with those who have a blind faith in their rational mind as the most problematic ones. It's so funny to observe that the fear of these "rational" people seems so irrational. They also seem to confuse pre-rationality with post-rationality, calling the latter a "blind faith".
I've also realized that all of us were born with no faith at all and we've adopted the first faiths we encountered and were imprinted in life on the basis of "first come, first served". We judge new faiths we encounter with these first faiths. And many of us seem to have a hard time leaving the blind faiths we already have as our egos like homeostasis. Again it's so funny to see many "rational" people who accuse the religious of their "blind faiths" are no less emotionally fervent blind followers of their own dogmas.
The most serious problems I've identified in those who have such a blind meta-faith are their lack of huminity to examine and experience other possibilities and their violence to force their dogmas on those who have other faiths. Having seen that these problems prevent them from growing, I've decided to start reexamining all of what seem to be my blind faiths by trying to directly experience whatever I can. This seems to be one of the most arduous tasks I've taken upon myself in my entire life so far.

Cultocracy note :
Nano straws fuse with the membrane of an individual cell and can monitor the electrical activity within the cell . The nano straw acts as a patch clamp and amplifies intracellular electrical impulse signals , the straw can be activated using an externally applied magnetic field . The amplified signals can then be read using infrared EEG & fluorescent imaging techniques . Nano straws can also be formed into complex arrays which are used to monitor the neuronal activity in specific areas of the human brain .
These imaging techniques coupled with the nano technology are broadly termed optogenetics & magnetogenetics .
Nano straws can also be weaponized to 'syphon off' cell material , eventually causing the individual cell to die .
This technology is of particular interest to the military industrial complex due to its application in the development of brain machine interfaces (BMI's) & neural control networks .
Nanoscale 'stealth' probe slides into cell walls seamlessly
A nanometer-scale probe designed to slip into a cell wall and fuse with it could offer researchers a portal for extended eavesdropping on the inner electrical activity of individual cells.
Everything from signals generated as cells communicate with each other to "digestive rumblings" as cells react to medication could be monitored for up to a week, say Stanford engineers.
Current methods of probing a cell are so destructive they usually only allow a few hours of observation before the cell dies. The researchers are the first to implant an inorganic device into a cell wall without damaging it.
The key design feature of the probe is that it mimics natural gateways in the cell membrane, said Nick Melosh, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering in whose lab the research was done. With modification, the probe might serve as a conduit for inserting medication into a cell's heavily defended interior, he said. It might also provide an improved method of attaching neural prosthetics, such as artificial arms that are controlled by pectoral muscles, or deep brain implants used for treating depression.
The 600-nanometer-long, metal-coated silicon probe has integrated so smoothly into membranes in the laboratory, the researchers have christened it the "stealth" probe.

When you think about companies that are known for being good places to work the first company that often come to mind is Google. Their "employer brand" is very strong and I would go as far as to comparing it with other well-known brands such as Nike and McDonald's. The difference being the latter is known first and foremost for the products they sell and not their employment practices.

Whose objectives was it again?
Organizations today come up with some really great vision and mission statements. These are often public and you will often find them easily accessible on their web page. Who makes these statements? Who are they for? And who must make sure that they are reached. There are many stakeholders that want to have a say, but what about the employees? Do they share these objectives?

Health Effects And Treatment Of Binge Eating Disorder
If binge eating disorder is left untreated, it has the potential to have some devastating effects on the patient's overall health. Binge eating disorder can either stem from or create serious mental health consequences. It will also cause significant medical consequences. These consequences can impact the affected person's quality of life.
Consequences that can impact a person with binge eating disorder include:

A person with binge eating disorder is at risk for suffering from a depressive or anxiety disorder. This is because a person with binge eating disorder may also suffer from:
- Low self-esteem
- Criticism from others
- Negative self-talk
- Behavioral changes
- Personality changes.
These changes can cause the patient to:
- Isolate from friends and family
- Mask their emotions through aggression or anger
- Develop a habit of self-harm, like cutting or overeating to punish him or herself.
Obesity and Diabetes
Binge eating disorder leads to weight gain and obesity. Weight gain and obesity increases the risk for type II diabetes. Type II diabetes develops when high food intake affects the level of insulin in the body. This makes sugar levels difficult to control. Type II diabetes has the potential to create devastating health consequences, like:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Permanent nerve damage
- Kidney damage
- Eye damage
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Binge Eating Disorder can develop into irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome is a gastrointestinal disorder that causes:

Binge Eating Disorder Treatment Options
Binge eating disorder is a difficult disorder to live with, but there is hope. Researchers have learned a great deal about what binge eating disorder is and how to treat it. From research, resources have become available to those who are struggling to control their binge eating.
The 3 main areas of treatment for binge eating disorder include:
1. Mental health treatment
Binge eating disorder is a mental health condition. This means that mental health counseling and treatment will be necessary for recovery. There are several different forms of therapy that are effective in the treatment of binge eating disorder.
Therapy options that are helpful in treating binge eating disorder include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
- Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)
- Interpersonal therapy
- Support programs, like group therapy and Eater's Anonymous
2. Physical Health and Medical Treatment
It helps to consult a physician as well as seeking therapy. A physician can help to improve medical health and physical health. A primary doctor may prescribe medication to suppress appetite as the affected person learns healthier ways to cope. He or she will also address the medical consequences that have developed as a result of binge eating and weight gain.
3. Nutritional Counseling
Changes to diet and exercise will be crucial for recovery. It is important to learn how to make healthier food choices and control portions. Nutritional counseling helps to teach how binge eating affects quality of life. It will also teach eating and weight management skills that will prevent symptomatic behaviors.

Welcome to the WPF! This week we're looking at Halloween weekend up until the Flames game last night.
October 30 was Coach Crow's 1000th NHL game coached, and the Stars honored him before the puck drop.
We finally got Lehts and Mo back November 4th against the Flames.
I'm not sure why Morrow has a black eye when the last time he fought was… last season after Brown nailed Ribs into the boards?
The most exciting new line we have this season – Swedes and Sudsy.
I have a new love of the Ice Girls for getting our Stars to pose with their pompoms. You can see more Stars with poms here.

By Sarah Hayes, A&E editor
"How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore, and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean, by providence impoverished, in squalor grow up to be a hero and a scholar?"
This opens the first act of "Hamilton," the off-Broadway turned Broadway hip-hop musical about Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, written, composed, and starring Lin-Manuel Miranda. Having a rap-based musical is not entirely revolutionary—Miranda himself wrote "In The Heights," a 2008 musical based in his home neighborhood of Washington Heights—but the fact that none of the main cast, bar King George, are played by white actors is. As Smithsonian Magazine described it when President Barack Obama came to see the show for himself, "our first black president stepped inside to see our first president, black."
The creator of the United States' first national bank and our original secretary of the treasury does not sound like the ideal subject for the spitfire raps that come out of Miranda's mouth during the show, but "Hamilton" is proving to be the most explosive history lesson to ever cross a Broadway stage. Alexander Hamilton was a man who spoke loudly, decisively, and at great length. He was also no stranger to fighting, got into many a duel during his time (his most famous with Aaron Burr being the one that would end his life), and had a reputation for womanizing that destroyed his political career.
Then again, if you are one of the thousands of people who have either seen "Hamilton" live on stage or purchased the original Broadway cast recording, you do not need me to recollect the saucy details of the Reynolds affair, or the release of the Reynolds pamphlet, or how Hamilton was making off with not one but two Schuyler sisters at the same time. You certainly would not need me to summarize the legendary duel between Hamilton and Burr that caps off the second act of the play, or any of the events between them that led up to that particular meeting at dawn in a remote section of New Jersey.
If you are like me, you cannot afford to fly out to New York City to see Miranda and his team perform live. Luckily, the OBR is such a full narrative from start to finish that the connecting visuals and narrations of the stage show are not entirely necessary. The appeal of the "Hamilton" OBR is that it is a complete story; it is the rise and fall of a public figure, our "ten dollar Founding Father without a father" who creates his success out of the literal ruins of his childhood, rises through the ranks to become a crucial member of President George Washington's cabinet, only to watch his legacy crumble due to political machinations and his own inability to keep his trousers tightly buckled around attractive women. Alongside him is a cast of characters including Eliza Schuyler, his wife and confidant through all the chaos, Eliza's sister Angelica, who continues to have a relationship with Hamilton after he is already married, Aaron Burr, the original frenemy of early America, and George Washington, Hamilton's idol and mentor.
Then there is the 'revolutionary set' who led Hamilton to join the American Revolution in the first place—John Laurens, Marquis de Lafayette, and Hercules Mulligan—who get to have not only all the best drinking songs on the album but are a major component of one of the top tracks overall, "My Shot," which took Miranda an entire year to write, pointing to how crucial it was to the character of Hamilton and the play as a whole. Every song is a blast, but "My Shot" is the rallying cry of the entire show. It is Hamilton proclaiming his life's goals in the span of a few minutes, and it is also an earworm of a song.
Every song on the "Hamilton" OBR is a gem, whether it's Eliza's anti-torch song "Burn" after learning her husband has been having an affair, Aaron Burr's "Wait For It," which successfully humanizes an unerring villainized historical figure, or "Cabinet Battle #1," the first showdown between Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson which easily turns from cabinet meeting to an epic rap battle of American history. Even though Hamilton did not get the approval from Congress that he wanted in that meeting, the fact that he got to tell Jefferson "turn around, bend over, I'll show you where my shoe fits" makes ol' Alex the true winner of that bout.
It is almost impossible to write about the near-universal appeal of "Hamilton" and Lin-Manuel Miranda's lyrics without simply playing the entire album start to finish. It is continuously attracting fans who are not into rap or history, much less a combination of the two. It succeeds as both a musical and a rap album and it might be the coolest biography of Alexander Hamilton to hit the streets in this decade. Considering how hard "Hamilton" fever is hitting America, now is the best time to let the fever take you over as well—do not waste your shot in listening to the most revolutionary LP of 2015.

Caramel Bamboo Worktop Upstand 3M X 80 X 18mm
Caramel bamboo upstands are produced from the same sustainable timber that is used for our caramel bamboo worktops; ideal for providing an alternative to tiling down to the surface of your worktops and finishing solid wood worktop installations in style.
Matching caramel bamboo upstands are perfect for blending your worktops into the overall kitchen design, whilst also hiding the small 5mm expansion gap that should be left between worktops and adjacent walls.
Caramel bamboo kitchen upstands are necessary when fitting timber worktops against uneven walls, as they help to cover any small gaps that would otherwise be apparent.
Our solid caramel bamboo kitchen worktop upstands are provided in a square construction and so can be easily fitted to create a chunky square-edged look (alternatively, other edge profiles are available on request).
When cutting caramel bamboo worktops to size, you may notice the occasional appearance of small gaps within the exposed cross-section of the cut edge. This is not a manufacturing fault but a natural occurrence due to the bamboo's layered construction. You will find this is easily remedied with a small application of an appropriate filler.
Find out more about the importance of quality upstands by reading our dedicated information guide.
Please note: this item should not be fitted directly behind a hob without additional protection. Please refer to the hob manufacturer's guidelines to ensure that your installation complies with safety standards.

Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1-2 (My One Word 2014 Renewal and the verse that guides me)
I've written many words in my life. Words I share now are like pebbles from Heaven, bits of hope, to pass out freely. My words have not always been edifying, for words reflect the inner being. Words are the great revealers of the inner life. Or lack thereof. Once they are poured forth they never fail to show who we are, what we believe, and where our allegiance lies. Words can give life and extinguish life. Words are the stuff life is made of from the very beginning:
Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Genesis 2:7
For me writing has been a journey of transformation. My words written, a portal into my very soul. My soul has been on a journey since before I even realized I would become a word loving, stone gathering, modern day disciple. I took my pen in hand and began to write the journey, mostly in journals, as the path stretched before me. I wrote it down.

How you earn money online?
The possibilities are endless.There are thousands of different options to "make money online now." Because of the varieties, people get often distracted by the newbies, and they don't stay focus on building a successful online business.
First, you need to find a niche. Something that you are passionate. You have to research the needs and create a service or product for their needs.
Turning Your Passion into a Profit
Build your business doing something you love, something you are passionate! How cool is that?
Here are 5 steps to create success online:
- Find a niche
- Build a niche website
- Create helpful, relevant content
- Get ranking and traffic

Did you know there are 2 types of income?
1-Active Income also known as Linear Income
2-Passive Income
Active Income
If you have a regular job working for someone or as a freelance you are earning active income. You will get paid once, meaning as long as you perform the work you will get paid. If you quit your job that will be the end of your income. As a freelancer, if you don't get anymore client there will be no more revenue.
Passive Income
Passive income is very different. Instead of getting paid once every time you work, you are creating indefinite income. There are many ways to earn passive income now more than ever.
Passive income is making money without doing anything. You are signing up with a streamline affiliate, and revenue starts pouring 24/7….. It is a misconception of passive income. You first have to work your business just like any other business. Eventually YES if you are persistent and put the hours you will be generating revenue around the clock!
Benefits Of Passive Income
YOUR FREEDOM! You have no connection to a 9 to 5 job, and you don't have to respond to a YOUR BOSS! You can work WHEREVER and WHENEVER. Don't you want that, more time for yourself, family, and so on?
"If you can dream it you can do it!"
"If you don't build your dreams, someone else will hire you to build theirs."
Here is my favorite quote from Albert Einstein
"If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."
How to make Passive Income from the internet
