What is salvation?
The deliverance, by the grace of God, from eternal punishment for sin which is granted to those who accept by faith God's conditions of repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus. Salvation is available in Jesus alone (John 14:6;Acts 4:12) and is dependent on God alone for provision, assurance, and security.
What are we saved from?
In the Christian doctrine of salvation, we are saved from "wrath," that is, from God's judgment of sin (Romans 5:9;1 Thessalonians 5:9). Our sin has separated us from God, and the consequence of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Biblical salvation refers to our deliverance from the consequence of sin and therefore involves the removal of sin.
Who does the saving?
Only God can remove sin and deliver us from sin's penalty (2 Timothy 1:9;Titus 3:5).
How does God save?
In the Christian doctrine of salvation, God has rescued us through Christ (John 3:17). Specifically, it was Jesus' death on the cross and subsequent resurrection that achieved our salvation (Romans 5:10;Ephesians 1:7). Scripture is clear that salvation is the gracious, undeserved gift of God (Ephesians 2:5,8) and is only available through faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12).
How do we receive salvation?
We are saved by faith. First, we must hear the gospel—the good news of Jesus' death and resurrection (Ephesians 1:13). Then, we must believe—fully trust the Lord Jesus (Romans 1:16). This involves repentance, a changing of mind about sin and Christ (Acts 3:19), and calling on the name of the Lord (Romans 10:9-10,13).
Prayer of Salvation
Our First Real Conversation With God
The "prayer of salvation" is the most important prayer we'll ever pray. When we're ready to become a Christian, we're ready to have our first real conversation with God, and these are its components:
We acknowledge that Jesus Christ is God; that He came to earth as a man in order to live the sinless life that we cannot live; that He died in our place, so that we would not have to pay the penalty we deserve.
We confess our past life of sin -- living for ourselves and not obeying God.
We admit we are ready to trust Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.
We ask Jesus to come into our heart, take up residence there, and begin living through us.
It Begins With Faith in God
When we pray the prayer of salvation, we're letting God know we believe His Word is true. By the faith He has given us, we choose to believe in Him. The Bible tells us that "without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6)
So, when we pray, asking God for the gift of salvation, we're exercising our free will to acknowledge that we believe in Him. That demonstration of faith pleases God, because we have freely chosen to know Him.
Confessing Our Sin
When we pray the prayer of salvation, we're admitting that we've sinned. As the Bible says of everyone, save Christ alone: "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
To sin is simply to fall short of the mark, as an arrow that does not quite hit the bull's-eye. The glory of God that we fall short of is found only in Jesus Christ: "For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." (2 Corinthians 4:6)
The prayer of salvation, then, recognizes that Jesus Christ is the only human who ever lived without sin. "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Professing Faith in Christ as Savior and Lord
With Christ as our standard of perfection, we're now acknowledging faith in Him as God, agreeing with the Apostle John that: "In the beginning was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made." (John 1:1-3)
Because God could only accept a perfect, sinless sacrifice, and because He knew that we could not possibly accomplish that, He sent His Son to die for us and pay the eternal price. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.." (John 3:16)
Say It & Mean It!
Do you agree with everything you have read so far? If you do, don't wait a moment longer to start your new life in Jesus Christ. Remember, this prayer is not a magical formula. You are simply expressing your heart to God. Pray this with us:
"Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
You've Prayed It; Now What?
If you've prayed this prayer of salvation with true conviction and heart, you are now a follower of Jesus. This is a fact, whether or not you feel any different. Religious systems may have led you to believe that you should feel something - a warm glow, a tingle, or some other mystical experience. The fact is, you may, or you may not. If you have prayed the prayer of salvation and meant it, you are now a follower of Jesus. The Bible tells us that your eternal salvation is secure! "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
Welcome to the family of God!!!

Liferay Hooks are the best plugin for customizing Liferay's core features. If possible, use hooks whenever you need to override Liferay's core functionality. It's possible to use Ext plugins for many of the same tasks, but hooks are hot-deployable and more forward compatible, so we urge you to use them preferentially.
In this chapter we'll learn to create hooks and discuss their most common uses.
Our chapter topics include these items:
- Creating a Hook
- Overriding Web Resources
- Customizing JSPs by Extending the Original
- Customizing Sites and Site Templates with Application Adapters
- Performing a Custom Action
- Overriding and Adding Struts Actions
- Extending and Overriding portal.properties
- Overriding a Portal Service
- Overriding a Language.properties file
- Extending the Indexer Post Processor
- Other Hooks
Like portlets, layout templates, and themes, hooks are created and managed using the Plugins SDK, or the terminal. Let's create and deploy a hook using both environments.

The Joomla! Project is pleased to announce the availability of Joomla! 2.5 RC 1 for download. Version 2.5 is the second release made within the new six-month release cycle that started with the delivery of Joomla! 1.6 in January 2011.
What is this release for?
There are several goals for this release:
- To allow advance testing of sites and custom extensions so that site administrators and developers can report any problems before the final release.
- To raise awareness that the end of the current development cycle is fast approaching.
- To allow testing of the upgrade from version 1.7 to 2.5.0.
What is this release NOT for?
This RC1 version of Joomla 2.5 is not suitable for production sites. It should be used for testing only.
When is the final release due?
Joomla 2.5.0 GA (general availability) is due to be released on 24 January 2012. The planned milestone after this date are:
- 24 February 2012 - Joomla 1.7 reaches end of life and is no longer supported
- April 2012 - Joomla 1.5 reaches end of life
- September 2012 - Next version of Joomla is released
Please note that dates may be subject to change depending on availability of volunteers and circumstances beyond our control.
How do I upgrade to Joomla 2.5?
Upgrading from Joomla 1.7 to Joomla 2.5.0 will be very easy. Most users can use the automatic update or install the update archive using the Extension Manager: Install option.
If you are using Joomla 1.5 then you will still be required to migrate your site using the jUpgrade component.

In addition, we are using the latest version (11.4) of the Joomla platform in this release. Also, RC1 includes approximately 317 new bug fixes since the 1.7.3 release.
What happens to Joomla 1.7?
Joomla 2.5 is the direct upgrade for Joomla 1.7. Joomla 1.7 will be supported for critical security issues only for a period of one month after the release of Joomla 2.5. After that time, only Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 2.5 will be supported by the Joomla project. Note that Joomla version 2.5 is a long-term-support (LTS) release and will be supported for at least 18 months.
How can you help Joomla development?
The great news is you don't have to be a developer to help build Joomla. The Joomla Bug Squad is one of the most active teams in the Joomla development process and is always looking for people (not just developers) that can help with sorting bug reports, coding patches and testing solutions. It's a great way for increasing your working knowledge of Joomla, and also a great way to meet new people from all around the world.
If you are interested, please read about us on the Joomla Wiki and, if you wish to join, email Mark Dexter.
You can also help Joomla development by thanking those involved in the many areas of the process. Since the release of Joomla 1.6, a whopping 375 issues have been fixed by the JBS. The project also wants to thank all of the people that have taken the time to prepare and submit work to be included in Joomla 1.7 & 2.5, and to those that have worked very hard on the Joomla Platform separation project.
Related information
If you are an extension developer, please make sure you subscribe to the general developer mailing list as this is a place where you can discuss extension development and news that may affect custom development will be posted from time to time.
Following is a list of previous news and information about Joomla 2.5 and other sites of interest:
A Huge Thank You to Our Volunteers!
This RC1 release is the result of thousands of hours of work by dozens of volunteers. Thank you so very much for making Joomla the best CMS on the planet!

Only 11 out of every 1,000 Americans have heterochromia, a condition that results in two differently colored eyes. This trait is commonly found in animals and is relatively rare in humans. One eye can be blue, while the other hazel. Or one eye may be brown while the other is blue. The condition can be hereditary and harmless or it can be caused by a disease or syndrome like neurofibromatosis, which is when tumors form on nerve tissue within the nervous system. An eye injury, serious infection or inflammation may also cause heterochromia.
There are different types of heterochromia – complete, sectoral and central. When each eye is an entirely different color, this is known as complete heterochromia. Central heterochromia occurs when there are two colors in the same iris. A section of one eye that is a different color from the rest of the eye is called sectoral heterochromia.
Be sure to contact your eye doctor if you notice any new changes in the color of your eyes as a sudden discoloration may be an indication of a serious medical issue.

The Christian season of Lent is a time of reflection and repentance and now yoga. As Deena Prichep reports, more and more churches are offering yoga as a Lenten practice.
DEENA PRICHEP: In a lot of ways, the yoga class at Resurrection Lutheran Church outside of Saint Paul, Minn., feels like any other yoga class - the mats, the music, the settling into your body.
CARRIN MAHMOOD: Shift your weight to your right foot and move into tree pose when you're ready.
PRICHEP: But this is Yogadevotion, a Christian yoga practice, led here by Carrin Mahmood.
MAHMOOD: Lent moves its way towards Good Friday, which, of course, is where Jesus is on the tree. So when you're ready, shift your weight to the left.
PRICHEP: A half-dozen women are breathing deeply, envisioning themselves on a calm beach, but also envisioning that Jesus comes up and talks with them.
MAHMOOD: We'll stay in this pose for another two minutes. You realizing that this conversation is what prayer is.
PRICHEP: Using a practice outlined in Hindu scripture to reflect on the life of Jesus may seem a little strange, but it's become popular in churches across the country.
MEGHAN DAVIS-BRASS: We need to take care of our bodies to be not only temples for God, but to be instruments of God's peace in the world.
PRICHEP: Meghan Davis-Brass is a pastor in Newton, Iowa, and serves on the board of the group Christians Practicing Yoga.
DAVIS-BRASS: I'm Presbyterian, so we still don't move much in worship (laughter). But that's my chance in yoga to pray with my body.
PRICHEP: The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit for union - union between body and spirit or human and the divine.
SHREENA GANDHI: You have yoga showing up in Jainism and Buddhism.
PRICHEP: Shreena Gandhi teaches religion at Michigan State University.
GANDHI: In this country, starting in, like, the 1970s, you had Jewish yoga. Right around the time of Vatican II, you had nuns practicing yoga.
PRICHEP: In some ways, this is how religious practice always works. It borrows. It exchanges. It grows. But Gandhi says there's an important difference between exchange and appropriation.
GANDHI: You have to think about it in terms of who has power and who doesn't.
PRICHEP: Gandhi says adopting and adapting the practice of yoga can bring awareness, not just bodily and spiritually, but also politically.
GANDHI: If you can be OK with, you know, stretching your hamstring and feeling uncomfortable, why can't you be OK with stretching your mind a little and thinking about your power and privilege?
PRICHEP: While Gandhi sees the need for Christian yoga to consider the bigger picture, she also sees it as part of that picture. For thousands of years, yoga has used breath and physical movements to connect those who practice to something larger. And at Resurrection Lutheran Church in Minnesota, that's what's happening.
SUE SORENSON: It grounds me for the week. I attend church on Sunday, and I can hardly wait for Tuesday evening.
PRICHEP: Sue Sorenson has been coming to Yogadevotion for five years.
SORENSON: You're taking care of your body, and you're taking care of your faith and your spiritual life.
PRICHEP: And according to Pastor Meghan Davis-Brass, that's especially important during these 40 days leading up to Easter.
DAVIS-BRASS: Lent is a time when we prepare ourselves for the celebration of the resurrection of Christ - Christ, who was born into a body, lived in a body, and then was resurrected into a body.
PRICHEP: The season of Lent starts with ashes and a meditation on mortality and ends with resurrection. Christian yoga helps those who practice embrace their faith with their whole bodies, acknowledging their strength and their frailty and their holiness and prepare for new life.

The neural folds have fused in the midline throughout the length of the embryo forming the neural tube on the dorsal side from head to tail. The overlying ectoderm is adjacent to the tube.
The cranial portion of the neural tube begins to enlarge to form the brain leaving the long, caudal portion to become the spinal cord. The rostral wall of the tube, where the rostral neuropore closes, remains thin and constitutes the lamina terminalis.
The neural tube becomes C shaped with two sharp ventral bends, one in the midbrain area, the cephalic flexure, the other at the brain-spinal cord junction, the cervical flexure.
The layer of proliferating neuroepithelial cells around the lumen of the neural tube is called the ependymal layer. Peripheral to this layer, neuroblasts collect in a middle layer called the mantle layer. Neuroblastic processes begin to collect in the periphery of the tube producing a relatively clear zone called the marginal layer.
After the neural folds fuse, the brain is subdivided into three dilations or vesicles named the prosencephalon (forebrain), mesencephalon (midbrain) and rhombencephalon (hindbrain). The cranial end of the prosencephalon is called the lamina terminalis.
The lumen of each vesicle forms a ventricle called the prosocoele, mesocoele and rhombocoele, respectively. The roof of the rhombocoele is very thin.
The optic vesicle develops as an outpouching that allows for further subdividing of the prosencephalon into telencephalon and diencephalon. The optic vesicle is considered part of the diencephalon.
Shallow grooves appear in the lateral wall of the brain separating its subdivisions into various portions.
Diencephalic part of prosencephalon—The sulcus medius separates the region of the dorsal thalamus from the ventral thalamus and is continuous caudally with the sulcus limitans. The epithalamus develops in the roof, in front of the pretectum. The sulcus ventralis separates the ventral thalamus from the hypothalamus and is continuous rostrally into the optic stalk. That part of the hypothalamus that is adjacent to the hypophyseal pouch is the neurohypophyseal bud area. The more rostral part where the optic stalk attaches is the optic chiasmal area.
Mesencephalon—The sulcus limitans divides the wall longitudinally into a dorsal part, the tectum, and a ventral part, the tegmentum. The basis pedunculi area will form ventral to the tegmentum.
Rhombencephalon—A series of vertical grooves segment its ventrolateral wall into six rhombomeres (neuromeres). This segmentation is partially evident on the outside of the tube as well. In the caudal portion the sulcus limitans separates the rhombencephalon into dorsolateral (alar plate) and ventrolateral (basal plate) areas.
The long, caudal segment of the neural tube becomes the spinal cord. It gradually tapers in the tail region where it terminates as the primitive filum terminale.
The wall is thin in the midline dorsally and ventrally forming roof and floor plates, respectively. These areas will serve as pathways for crossing nerve fibers. The sulcus limitans divides the mantle layer in the lateral wall into a) a dorsolateral portion called the alar plate in which sensory nuclei form and b) a ventrolateral portion called the basal plate in which motor nuclei form.
Neural crest cells become abundant in the angle between the dorsolateral wall of the neural tube and the surface ectoderm.
Cranial Neural Crests
The neural crest cells along the cranial part of the neural tube collect into columns that extend ventrolaterally to become closely applied to the epibranchial placodes.
The cranial neural crests are more organized initially than the spinal neural crests.
Experimental studies (Johnston MC: A radioautographic study of the migration and fate of cranial neural crest cells in the chick embryo. Anat Rec 156:143–156, 1966) indicate that cranial neural crest cells in birds are precursors of a) sensory ganglion cells of cranial nerves, b) autonomic (motor) ganglion cells on cranial nerves, c) neurolemmal sheaths of cranial nerves and d) branchial arch cartilages.
One neural crest is associated with each of the four branchial arches:
First branchial arch → trigeminal crest → cranial nerve V
Second branchial arch (including otocyst) → facioacoustic crest → cranial nerves VII and VIII
Third branchial arch → glossopharyngeal crest → cranial nerve IX
Fourth branchial arch → vagal crest → cranial nerve X
Sensory preganglia begin to form within each crest near the placode and will become ganglia on the cranial nerves.
Trigeminal crest → trigeminal ganglion (V)
Facioacoustic crest → geniculate (VII), cochlear (spiral) and vestibular (VIII) ganglia
Glossopharyngeal crest → superior (jugular) and inferior (petrous) ganglia (IX)
Vagal crest → superior (jugular) and inferior (nodose) ganglia (X)
Accessory Nerve (XI)
The accessory nerve is subdivided into cranial and spinal parts. The cranial part is a caudal extension of the vagal crest and is considered a part of the vagus nerve.
The spinal part first appears as a longitudinal collection of cells along the dorsolateral surface of the rhombencephalon and upper spinal cord. Rostrally it joins with the cranial part before it proceeds along the dorsal side of the precardinal vein. It disappears in a mesodermal condensation just caudal to the cervical sinus where the sternocleidomastoid-trapezius premuscle mass will form.
Hypoglossal Nerve (XII)
The hypoglossal nerve begins as a short, poorly defined, longitudinal collection of cells along the ventrolateral surface of the rhombencephalon. This cell collection is closely related to a condensation of occipital myoblasts.
Spinal Neural Crests
The crest cells along the spinal part of the neural tube collect together in the form of a longitudinal band on either side of the tube. The band has a scalloped ventral border. It is broadest in the upper cervical region and tapers toward the tail region.
Collections of crest cells extend farthest ventrolaterally near the middle of each body segment. Such extensions occur in a regular manner and are most prominent in the upper cervical segments.
A spinal ganglion (sensory) begins to develop within each crest midway between the neural tube and the myotome.
In some segments, crest cells have begun to spread ventral to the neural tube around the dorsal aorta. They will form the ganglia of the autonomic nervous system and are motor to the viscera.
The upper limb bud forms at the level of the C-5 to T-1 neural crests. The lower limb bud forms at the level of the L-1 to S-2 neural crests.

Window Spraying Winterton Lincolnshire
Kaleidacoat is one of the UK's leading on-site paint spraying specialists. Using state-of-the-art spraying equipment and the finest, most durable materials Window Spraying Winterton Lincolnshire.
Numerous organizations will lamentably run over a piece of their structure that requires a fix or the like. Shockingly, except if you are gifted in building repairs, it tends to be hard to recognize a very much qualified and legitimate temporary worker Window Spraying Winterton Lincolnshire.
In this article, I will talk about 5 things that you should mull over before you focus on a temporary worker and work starts with respect to on location splash painting.
1. Citations
First of all, you should contact various nearby contractual workers and request a citation. Any legitimate brand or association won't have an issue with this. In the event that you locate that a particular organization might want to charge for a citation, it's ideal to proceed onward. There will be many on location shower painting associations that will travel so don't stress a lot over the Window Spraying Winterton Lincolnshire separation. As I referenced over, it merits reaching the nearby organizations first however. Look across the nation when you have begun to come up short on alternatives.
2. Expenses and Budget
On the off chance that you have a particular financial plan, its best to be practical. It's likely worth getting a neighborhood contractual worker to finish any repairs for you. In the event that you utilize the abilities of an organization in Edinburgh and you are in Southampton, odds are, you will need to pay a premium for their administrations. After all they should cover specialized wages, travel and convenience now and again.
3. Why on location shower painting
On location shower painting is absolutely an incredible option in contrast to customary work of art techniques. The explanation behind it's developing ubiquity is basic. Just as being a cash saver, it is a great deal cleaner and simpler to use than customary artistic creation techniques. Splash painting utilizes hardware that is "stacked" in straightforward terms, with explicit paint. This is generally chosen before the work initiates and the rest is history truly. It is fly fueled onto a surface utilizing savvy hardware, decreasing dribbles and puddles inside the work region. In contrast to conventional work of art Window Spraying Winterton Lincolnshire strategies, the odds of spills are extraordinarily decreased.
4. Your Goals
It merits asking yourself what you need to accomplish. As a rule, nearby splash painting is normally utilized during a fix or renovation. In the event that you business has experienced huge fixes, the use of paint utilizing a splash painting temporary worker can greatly diminish the perceivability of any past fix or issue.
5. Does it should be painted?
Concurred, new surfaces can be unimaginably thick and run over exhausting. Including a little shading can add some character to your venture or work zone. Notwithstanding, is it completely fundamental? In the event that it's not required, at that point why proceed with it? It will just cost you and your Window Spraying Winterton Lincolnshire business cash for the time being.

By Multiple-Mike Quinsey
There will be much discontent as so many people will only see the effect of what is happening, without understanding the true reasons. It will seem chaotic but the "shaking up" of the old systems is necessary to enforce changes that are needed if it is to be re-invented and suitable for the New Age.
Remember that in time you will be entering the Golden Age and much work must be done in readiness. There is an aspect of "catching up" with changes that have been held back, and are essential to create the path to the new world that is going to take you into the higher dimensions. Consequently nothing of the lower vibrations can go forward and must drop away. The same reasoning applies to all souls and there will come a point where only those that are ready can rise up.
Many will worry as to what they have to do to move forwards and be sure to ascend. The answer is simple, and if you maintain your higher vibrations and spread love to all without exception you have absolutely nothing to fear. It takes a strong willed soul to keep centred when all around is in a state of change, and when the future appears uncertain.
Believe in yourself and hold to your beliefs and as time passes you will see the future becoming clearer. The old energies will slowly disappear and in their place will be a bright future free from all of the old problems. Gone will be those souls of a low vibration and with them their plans for controlling your lives and future opportunities. The end of their time was inevitable once it was apparent that regardless of their actions, the New Age would fully manifest.
As has already been intimated the beneficial changes will take time, but once they commence and your waiting is over, you will enjoy being present in that period and in some instances taking part in them. Certainly your experiences will be much more pleasurable and all of the good work carried out will benefit everyone.
As re-valuation of the currencies takes place, it will also be encouraging to know that whatever projects are carried out they will be adequately funded. Be assured that those souls who are going to handle massive funds for re-development and other humane projects, will be appointed because of their dedication and trustworthiness for the greater good of Humanity.
It is only natural that most people hope to learn precise dates for important events that have long been predicted. However, from the higher dimensions where all is in the now, it is often difficult to interpret them according to your way of existence in the 3rd dimension. Also, there is so much fluidity involved and different paths that can be followed. That is why you are always encouraged to keep your focus on what you want.
As you must by now know, it only requires a relatively small number of people to bring changes about. So keep your feet on the ground and your hopes and aspirations at their highest, and eventually you will reap the rewards of your determination and persistence. You are so near to receiving what you have dreamt of for millennia of time, and deservedly so.
There is little of the real news that reaches you through the normal sources that are still highly controlled. However, the Internet is still your best source of information, and reliable news is almost certain to be reported by more than one source. Even so it is difficult to find links to all the news as some is considered to be too secret for general release. However, you should nevertheless be able to get a reasonable picture of what is happening around the world. Your biggest obstacles to the truth are the false reports that are put out to deliberately confuse you. So be careful what you accept as truthful and if you are intuitive you can possibly identify articles or news that carries the lower vibrations.
Be assured that much is going on behind the scenes and many souls are dedicated to ensuring that the Light wins the battle between the positive and negative forces. Although it was predicted, the outcome was never certain and relied on those of you of the Light doing your bit to ensure it manifested. You are to be congratulated for holding your position over many years of uncertainty and never wavering regardless of what was happening on Earth. Your rewards will be many with the assurance that you will ascend and enjoy bring uplifted into the higher dimensions. You will have been part of a victory for the Light that will be celebrated for many years to come. However, there is still work to be done, as very soon the dark Ones will be unable to influence or control future events.
Now that matters have progressed so well, all Lightworkers can be more open about their work and help others to understand what is happening on Earth. Many will become confused and worried about the future and need reassuring as to the outcome of events that are currently taking place on Earth. The future will be beyond most people's expectations as the changes will completely change society beyond recognition, into one that is integrated and able to meet and support all people's needs.
For the time being matters will progress until a definite outcome is achieved, that will allow Humanity to move forward and commence to establish the new Republic and the new Age. The people who can deliver it are already on Earth and fully prepared in readiness to carry out their work. It will commence in small stages but progress quickly when adequate funds are put into it. These will come through GESARA and massive funding will be possible. It should be one of the early developments that will be brought in as soon as the planning has been adequately prepared. Some of the projects will be massive and cover the most urgent needs of the people.
The repercussions of the U.S. Election are still being felt and have yet to play themselves out, and have shaken so many people out of their slumbers. With it many revelations have surfaced and revealed the activities of the dark Ones. The question is are you going to respond by bringing in the Light, or allow your freedom to be further eroded. These are times for action if you are to remove the threats to your very existence. The opposition to them grows and not before time as they were aiming to create a single Government under their control. However, the whole truth of their activities will come out and people will be totally shocked by what they learn.
I leave you with love and blessings, and may the Light brighten your days and path to completion. This message comes through my Higher Self.
In Love and Light.
Mike Quinsey.

Michael Collins
Gretchen Morgenson of the New York Times just published one of the few feel good stories in months following the 2008 financial crisis. She describes a possible day of reckoning for the perpetrators of the 2008 crisis and much of the pain that has followed.
The newly elected New York attorney general, Eric Schneiderman (D), wants information from Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley. Among other things, the information concerns mortgage pooling and bundling. This may well include information on collateralized debt obligations (CDO's) and mortgage backed securities (MBS). New York state officials told Morgenson:
"The New York attorney general has requested information and documents in recent weeks from three major Wall Street banks about their mortgage securities operations during the credit boom, indicating the existence of a new investigation into practices that contributed to billions in mortgage losses." New York Investigates Banks' Role in Financial Crisis New York Times, May 16
Morgenson indicated where the attorney general might be heading - securitization fraud:
"Some litigants have contended, for example, that the banks dumped loans they knew to be troubled into securities and then misled investors about the quality of those underlying mortgages when selling the investments."
"The possibility has also been raised that the banks did not disclose to mortgage insurers the risks in the instruments they were agreeing to insure against default." New York Times, May 16
In addition to the leaked investigation, Morgenson makes a critical point about ongoing federal and state attorneys general efforts for settlement order on mortgage fraud, fictional mortgage agreements, and matters related to ForeclosureGate.
"By opening a new inquiry into bank practices, Mr. Schneiderman has indicated his unwillingness to accept one of the settlement's terms proposed by financial institutions …" New York Times, May 16
Matt Tiabbi explained what this means:
"If the AGs were to sign off on a friendly global settlement for mortgage abuses prematurely, it would be like a DA offering a millionaire murderer a 2-year plea bargain before the cops even had a chance to interview all the eyewitnesses. It would be a blatantly political arrangement." Matt Tiabbi, May 17
The settlements (consent orders that avoid a trial) by the Obama Department of Justice and the state attorneys general would cost the big banks and Wall Street a few billion dollars in legal fees but free them from civil suits that could stretch into the trillions and jail time for criminal fraud.
The New York AG's actions stop any settlement in its tracks since, according to Tiabbi; it takes all 50 states to generate a consent order. Should it become official, Schneiderman's investigation would also set a high bar for any other settlements. It could also simulate demands for serious prosecutions around the country.
Serious charges by Schneiderman would also make a federal settlement like the one leaked to American Banker look simply awful to the public.
Nexus between Cuomo 2009 Charges against Bank of America, Schneiderman's Investigation, and the Senate Report on "Wall Street and the Financial Crisis"
On February 4, 2009, then New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo filed a complaint against the Bank of America, Kenneth D. Lewis, and Joseph L. Price.
"The bank and the two named executives are charged with failing to inform the bank's board of directors and shareholders of the major red ink on Merrill Lynch's books prior to the merger. CEO Lewis, CFO Price, and other BofA officers and professionals chose to hide $16 billion of Merrill Lynch known pre tax losses prior to board approval. That's fraud, plain and simple." Michael Collins, Economic Populist, February 8, 2009
The complaint also, "charges that the same parties with strong arming the federal government for $20 billion to cover Merrill's debt by threatening to back out of the merger if the money wasn't forthcoming." Economic Populist
We don't know the exact direction that Schneiderman's investigation and charges will take (if they are any). However, Morgenson notes that Schneiderman may be looking at current civil charges claiming, "that the banks dumped loans they knew to be troubled into securities and then misled investors about the quality of those underlying mortgages when selling the investments." New York Times, May 16
There is a tight fit between the illegal acts and the subject matter of those acts in both Cuomo's case and the attorney general's direction, according to the Morgenson article.
Selling troubled securities without disclosure is precisely the type of fraud that Cuomo charged against Bank of America - defrauding investors on a deal by withholding vital information.
The information withheld in the Bank of America case concerned the huge losses Merrill had incurred in the collateralized debt obligation (CDO) and mortgage backed securities (MBS) market.
The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations April hearings and report dealt with a broad range of appalling Wall Street behavior leading to the financial crisis. In a memo from Chairman Carl Levin (D-MI) and ranking member Tom Coburn (R-OK), the behavior that Schneiderman is reportedly investigating is described in clear terms:
Steering Borrowers to High Risk Loans. WaMu and Long Beach [as examples] too often steered borrowers into home loans they could not afford…
Polluting the Financial system. WaMu and Long Beach securitized $77 billion in subprime loans…, used Wall Street firms to sell … worldwide, and polluted the financial system with mortgage backed securities. Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, April 13, 2010
Schneiderman's focus benefits from the groundwork laid by Cuomo's 2009 action. That's a considerable benefit given the depth of interviews and analysis in Cuomo's New York complaint.
The attorney general can also call on the contributions of former Special Inspector General for TARP, Niel Barofsky. The former SIGTARP collaborated wiht Cuomo in the Bank of America complaint. Schneiderman also has the benefit of exhaustive evidence developed by the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
Should he file a complaint, the attorney general of New Your will have a solid foundation preceding his efforts. Using these resources provides the opportunity for broad based civil and criminal actions .
The Martin Act
Cuomo's charge against Bank of America, Lewis and Price were brought using the Martin Act, a 1921 New York law designed to promote investigations of fraudulent stock market schemes. The law has some unique provisions:
"The purpose of the Martin Act is to arm the New York attorney general to combat financial fraud. It empowers him to subpoena any document he wants from anyone doing business in the state; to keep an investigation totally secret or to make it totally public; and to choose between filing civil or criminal charges whenever he wants. People called in for questioning during Martin Act investigations do not have a right to counsel or a right against self-incrimination. Combined, the act's powers exceed those given any regulator in any other state." Nicholas Thompson, Legal Affairs, May/June 2004
The infrequently used law was the centerpiece of Elliot Spitzer's investigations into Wall Street fraud as New York AG, prior to his election as governor. Had Spitzer survived, it would have produced an array of fraud cases prior to the financial crisis.
If wishes were horses …
If wishes were horses, we'd all take a ride. Spitzer's investigations blew up after a personal scandal. Cuomo's gubernatorial campaign interrupted his Bank of America case of 2009.
We now have the new attorney general, Schneiderman, and the leaked investigation. Robert Scheer praised the effort but expressed this jaded (and probably accurate) caution:
"Eric Schneiderman will probably fail, as did his predecessors in that job; the honest sheriff doesn't last long in a town that houses the Wall Street casino. But decent folks should be cheering him on. Despite a mountain of evidence of robo-signed mortgage contracts, deceitful mortgage-based securities and fraudulent foreclosures, the banks were going to be able to cut their potential losses to what was, for them, a minuscule amount [by the state and federal consent order proposals]." Robert Sheer, Truth Dig, May 17
Sheer has been around long enough to know the odds against the good guys winning, at least for long enough to make a difference. But you never know. Success is often a matter of timing. This attorney general is certainly attacking Wall Street and the big banks at the right time.
The support for serious legal action would be overwhelming. There isn't be a venue in the country that would miss the opportunity to sock it to these and other institutions and put a some of their officials behind bars. Of note, the Martin Act can be used for civil and criminal prosecutions. But let's not get carried away. Trillions lost, a nation in economic distress, 150,000 foreclosures a month…and how many prosecutions have we seen? The only time these guys will do is in a Timex commercial.

Taibbi is one of the few journalists still pounding on Goldman Sachs pointing out they lied to Congress and their customers. Good video interview below.
Great report
Thanks for keeping the bankster issue alive. There are many a crook and criminal within those Wall Street rooms and many need to visit Bernie Madoff. I was surprised that Schneiderman was willing and able to fight the banksters on their own turf. Cuomo knows the score as well, so it's good that the two of them are on the same page. I am looking forward to the details of the investigation.
Thanks. A bright light is needed
They've got the whole game rigged but now their time may come. I was impressed that Cuomo went after BofA in a big way. He also got settlements out of a number of financial institutions. But Schneiderman doing the Martin Act interviews with Goldman, BofA and Morgan is another story. The act allows intensive questioning and requires those interviewed to keep quiet. If they don't, then they're up for violating that part of the act.
I'm sure Schneiderman and Cuomo have good motives. This is a politically charged investigation and prosecution, if they move forward. I'm also sure that they can both count. There are a far more New Yorkers hurting than banksters hustling. In this case, I'll actually "hope" for a while.
BTW, Cuomo's popularity rating was above 70% after his budget cuts. Interesting.

Informational Memo No. 1
(6/ 6 /14)
International Youth Program on Nonviolence
September 4th – 22nd, 2014
Objectives of the International Youth Program
As part of ongoing work Ekta Parishad and International Initiatives are planning to conduct an international youth program on nonviolence in India in September 2014. The main objective is to review how nonviolence is used as a strategy for social change in different countries. Through a variety of learning situations including in-classroom presentations, field visits and a participation in an Indian youth camp, this youth program is an effort to explore how nonviolence also provides a lens with which to look at community and alternative development processes that are equitable and inclusive.
The second objective is exposure to Ekta Parishad's community-based work. Much of the fieldwork carried out by Ekta Parishad in India, is focused on land and livelihood issues of marginalized populations, and supporting actions that enable local people to have greater control of people over land, forest and water. The third objective is to build fellowship among young people from many different countries (including the Indian associates), and International Initiatives hopes to build a continued mutual learning and support among the participants.
Welcome to India

Madurai is a southern city in the southern most state of Tamilnadu in India and is about an eight-hour train journey from Chennai (Madras), which is one of the main metropolitan centers in the south India. Most of the international airlines travel either to the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai (Bombay) or at New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport. Fewer flights will fly directly to Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore) or Chennai Airport (formerly Madras International Airport). If one arrives in Mumbai or Delhi, it is better to take the onward domestic flights to Madurai as part of the overall ticket. For those coming to Bengaluru or Chennai, it is possible to take an onward bus or train to Madurai. Whichever way you plan to travel, it is necessary that you reach Madurai not later than the 4th of September.
All those arriving will be picked up from the airport or rail station by CESCI Center Welcome Group. The CESCI center is about 25 kilometers from the Madurai main center.
All participants will complete their workshop in the central Indian city of Bhopal. This means that people will transit back to the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai (Bombay) or at New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport either by flight or train. (Local hosts can assist with the train bookings if required.) The final date of the workshop is September 22, 2014.
Locations, Meeting Venues & Rooms and Meals
The location from September 4th through September 9th will be the CESCI Center in Madurai. This is training center on nonviolence is a simple mud brick set of buildings set amidst gardens in a country-like atmosphere.

Klout today announced separate partnership deals with Badgeville, a provider of gamification solutions for businesses, and Simply Measured, a social media analytics company, to bring its tools that measure a person's level of thought leadership and influence in social media to more brands.
Badgeville, maker of the Behavior Platform, will now include users' Klout scores to surface and reward influencers across a brand's online communities.
Badgeville's clients rely on Badgeville to identify, reward, and promote brand advocates and quality contributors via social rank and reputation systems. The partnership enables Badgeville customers to incorporate Klout scores to enrich their gamification programs, maximizing social media influence and advocacy, rewarding users that are most likely to impact loyalty, engagement, and commerce metrics, as well as social sharing and referrals.
"Our goal is to empower every user by unlocking their influence. Being integrated into Badgeville's Behavior Platform is a great way for Klout to help organizations identify and reward top influencers in their community, and Klout has a unique set of information to help them do that," said Joe Fernandez, CEO of Klout, in a statement.
Badgeville provides reputation analysis based on behaviors performed on a brand's Web and mobile sites. The integration will be distributed by Badgeville, and initially for the first half of 2012, will be delivered to Badgeville customers at no incremental cost.
"Enterprise leaders require innovative ways to identify the most influential and social online customers and employees. Klout's influence-ranking technology adds another layer of intelligence by enabling our clients to increase online engagement by more accurately and efficiently identifying which customers carry the greatest influence, and in turn, provide the greatest business value," said Kris Duggan, Badgeville's CEO, in a statement.
The other deal with Simply Measured will yield a new reporting suite for brands. The collaboration between Klout and Simply Measured will help brands leverage Klout's data in context with other social media metrics and measure how influencers impact social media programs.
"For businesses growing their investment in social media, influence is top of mind in 2012. We've had a flood of requests from brands asking for more detailed reporting in this area. With Klout's industry-leading data and scoring methodology, we are now able to provide customers with the coverage, depth, and reporting needed to understand influence," said Simply Measured's CEO, Adam Schoenfeld, in a statement "These new reports bring Klout data to everything from audience analysis to competitive benchmarking and brand monitoring."
"Klout is the standard for influence and we're focused on bringing this standard to consumers and brands alike," Fernandez added. "This partnership helps brands understand and act on Klout metrics through Simply Measured's easy-to-use reporting tools."

So Many Have Forgotten Me and in Many Instances Take Me for Granted
Tuesday, September 24th, 2013 @ 18:00
My dearly beloved daughter, how lonely I feel when so many, including those loyal to My Holy Word, spend so little of their time in My Company. How I yearn for their attention, even just for one moment in the day. So many have forgotten Me and in many instances take Me for granted. Don't you know that by just speaking with Me, for only a short time, that I will pour My Graces over you? Those who comfort Me by talking with Me – in whatever way is easiest for them – gain an inner peace which cannot be found elsewhere in the world.
In your pursuit of pleasure, comforts and titillation, your bursts of satisfaction are short-lived. Nothing, including the greatest worldly treasures, will fulfill you. It is because of Me – My Great Mercy – that you have been granted the greatest treasure – the Gift of a life filled with great glory, wonderful surroundings, a perfect, beautiful body and the ability to feel a permanent love, which will overwhelm you, but will bring you immense happiness. This is Eternal Life and the time for Me to bring you over into My New Kingdom on Earth is close.
When you speak with Me and ask Me to prepare you for this Great Day, you will be ready, but it takes time to make the changes which are required of you for the Great Day of the Lord.
Like a bride and groom, you must have everything in place before the Day of the Great Blessing. You must prepare your family, your friends, your relatives, well in advance. Then on the Day, when I come to witness this Glorious Transition, you must be prepared in both body and soul, so that you are made worthy to enter the New Paradise.
For each day you spend, busy with the needs of others, you must save at least ten minutes of that day atoning for your sins. This is very important, for I love you and welcome you. To communicate with Me properly, you must always come before Me first as a humble servant. When you kneel before Me or simply communicate with Me in your heart, always begin by saying:
"Jesus forgive me, for I have sinned."
After this, you will feel My Presence and I will live within your soul. The more often you turn to Me, the closer you will become. Soon, I will be like a friend you cannot live without. Then you will turn to Me for every little thing and I will be there. I will always ensure that those of you who spend time in My Company will be given great favours and My blessings will produce calmness of soul and peace of mind. Remember that I respond instantly to those who seek Me out.
Your Jesus

"For all the adorable images of cats that play the piano,
flush the toilet, mew melodiously and find their way back home over hundreds of
miles, scientists have identified a shocking new truth: cats are far deadlier
than anyone realized."
This quote is how the New York Times article "That Cuddly Kitty Is Deadlier Than You Think" begins. I'm sorry, wait
and stop right there. You're telling me, that my cat is deadly? While shaking
my head, I continue to read the article.
My sweet Vickie. An indoor cat that has not killed a bird. |
Surveys are saying that "domestic cats in the United States…kill
a median of 2.4 billion birds and 12.3 billion mammals a year…most of them
native mammals like shrews, chipmunks and voles." This instantly makes me think
of every Saturday morning cartoon I've seen, with the cliché of the cat chasing
the bird or mouse (though the cat never seems to catch either).
The author of the article continues to tell me, that more
birds die at the mouths of cats than from car accidents and pesticides/poisons.
I find this interesting because in my life, none of my cats have ever killed a
bird. I have had ten cats, six are the current housecats. So there you have sixteen
cats that have never killed a single bird.
The article does
talk about both indoor cats that spend time outside and the "unnamed strays and
ferals that never leave" the outdoors. The last time I saw a dead bird was
after it flew into the window of my neighbor's sliding glass door. Wasn't
killed by a cat!
I understand that sure, there are cats that kill birds and
mice – my cats have killed two or three mice. However, I don't condone the cats'
natural instincts. Birds and mice carry a plethora of diseases that not only
could the cat contract, but us humans as well. The last thing I want for my
cat, is for it to be eating anything other than the food that I feed them.
This article really enraged me, because it is catering to a
stereotype that is not true of all cats. As much as Sylvester wanted to eat
Tweety bird…he never did! The article soon launches in to the idea that
scientists and environmentalists agree that cats should be kept indoors, and
any owners who say otherwise are irresponsible.
Tweety always got away from Sylvester in the end. |
"Any outdoor [feral cat] colonies that remain should be
enclosed," said Dr. Fenwick of the bird conservatory. I'm not going to launch into an argument about
Dr. Fenwick's controversial statement, but I will say that I completely disagree.

Suicide bombing outside Iran mosque kills dozens
• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
A suicide bombing outside a mosque in southeastern Iran killed at least 38 people Wednesday as worshippers observed an important Shiite holiday.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place in the city of Chabahar in Iran's Sistan-Baluchistan Province. But it is likely to be blamed on Jundallah, a Sunni and ethnic Baluchi militant organization responsible for multiple attacks in the province, which has a significant Sunni population in majority-Shiite Iran.
The attack came as Shiites were commemorating Ashura, an emotionally charged holiday marking the death of the third Shiite imam – Hussein, the grandson of the prophet Mohammed. The final day of Ashura is Thursday.
Agence France-Presse reports that a suicide bomber blew himself up in a city square outside the Imam Hussein mosque as worshippers were participating in a procession. The explosion wounded at least 50 people, and the death toll could rise.
Chabahar's governor, Ali Bateni, told state news agency IRNA that there were two attackers, but only one explosion. He also said that the "main culprit" behind the bombing has been arrested.
The New York Times notes that Chabahar has not been a frequent target of the terrorist attacks that have plagued the Sistan-Baluchistan Province. Many of the attacks have taken place in the provincial capital, Zahedan.
Jundallah, which claims to fight persecution of the Sunni Baluchi population in Iran, claimed responsibility for a July attack in Zahedan that killed 27 people, The Christian Science Monitor reported. That bombing, also at a Shiite mosque, targeted members of the elite Revolutionary Guard Corps and was billed as revenge for Iran's execution of Jundallah's leader. Abdolmalek Rigi, executed in June, was captured in February when the plane he was on was forced to land while flying from Dubai to Kyrgyzstan.
The Monitor reported at the time that the capture was a coup for Iran, which has long alleged that the group, which operates partly from bases in Pakistan, has Western backing. Iran's intelligence minister said at the time that Rigi had been on a US military base in Afghanistan, and was cooperating with American, British, and Israeli intelligence services.
Such groups and alleged US, British, and other intelligence and military support for them have been the subject of speculation for years, as Washington spoke openly about conducting "regime change" in Iran during the administration of President George W. Bush. Several news reports have described CIA and other backing for Jundallah, which often operated from Pakistan. ABC News reported in April 2007 that Jundallah "has been secretly encouraged and advised by American officials since 2005," based on US and Pakistani intelligence sources.
"US officials say the US relationship with Jundallah is arranged so that the US provides no funding to the group, which would require an official presidential order," according to ABC. It quoted "tribal sources" saying that "money for Jundallah is funneled to its youthful leader [Rigi] through Iranian exiles who have connections with European and Gulf states."
The US has repeatedly denied any connection to the group. But speculation was fueled by the fact that Jundallah was not on the State Department's list of groups designated as foreign terrorist organizations. The State Department added Jundallah to the list last month. The L.A. Times reported that some analysts took it as a gesture of goodwill toward Tehran at a time when Western powers are attempting to persuade Iran to conduct negotiations on its nuclear program.

Kids get more active when given more toy choices, studies show

In an age when even preschoolers have electronic toys and devices, many parents wonder how to get their children to be more physically active. Now, two studies published by University at Buffalo researchers provide some answers. The UB studies are among the few laboratory-controlled studies of how the choice and type of toys given to children affects their physical activity. Study subjects were 8-12 years old.
The goal of the research, led by James Roemmich, PhD, associate professor of pediatrics in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, was to identify basic factors that make children more physically active.
"We wanted to see if providing children with choices or autonomy -- the ability for the individual to decide how he or she wanted to be physically active -- increased their intrinsic motivation to be physically active," said Roemmich.
The results showed that giving children more toy choices markedly increases their physical play, especially in girls. And giving children the opportunity to master games -- including exergames, such as Wii games -- also increases their physical play. The first UB study, published in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sports, found that when there was only one toy to play with, boys engaged in 1.3 times longer active play than the girls.
But when children were provided access to a choice of active toys, physically active play time increased by nearly 200 percent for girls, compared to an increase of just 42 percent for boys.
"We were quite surprised to find such a significant difference between boys and girls," says Roemmich.
Previous studies in the field have consistently revealed that girls are less active than boys.
"But giving girls a choice of physical activities made their level of physical play equal to that of boys," says Denise M. Feda, co-author on both studies and UB postdoctoral associate in the Division of Behavioral Medicine of the UB Department of Pediatrics, where the studies were conducted.
"Girls may enjoy the cognitive task of choosing toys, evaluating them and selecting which to play with, whereas the selection process and thinking about the toys may be less appealing to boys," the paper states.
In the same study, average exercise intensity increased for both genders when children were provided with a choice of toys. Active toys involved in the study included mini hockey, bean bag toss combined with tic-tac-toe, mini indoor basketball and jump rope. In a second UB study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, the UB researchers looked more closely at how autonomy and mastery -- a force that motivates the child to develop proficiency -- increased a child's intrinsic motivation for physical activity.
That study revealed that a combination of autonomy and mastery were most powerful in increasing children's' physical activity time.
The UB researchers wanted to know if the mastery component of exergames or Wii games would motivate children to increase play time, reducing the need for choice to motivate activity, explains Roemmich.
"Indeed, we found that the combination of autonomy (choosing from several different games) and mastery (playing exergames) produced the greatest increases in physical activity time," says Roemmich.
However, he adds, increasing physical activity time isn't the whole story. Roemmich says that while the children played Wii games for twice as long as they played traditional versions of the same games, such as basketball, boxing, golf and hockey, they expended only half the energy during Wii games.
"In traditional games, children expend a lot of energy chasing after balls and pucks, while with exergames, they are just waiting for the game to reset," says Roemmich. So what should parents do?
"Focus on finding 3 to 5 active games that your children like and make them easily accessible around the home," says Roemmich. These can be dance or yoga DVDs, exergames, or mini versions of basketball and hockey for in-home use.
And, he says, exergames do have their place. "If an exergame displaces watching TV or playing a videogame, then even the lighter intensity physical activity is preferable." Outside the home, he says, seek a variety of activities ranging from formal to aerobic dance, to zoomba, basketball or martial arts. And he suggests that parents seek out fitness centers and youth centers that promote autonomy and choice by not charging extra for such choice of programming.
Roemmich led the research and co-authored the papers with Feda, Jacob Barkley, PhD, of Kent State University and Karl F. Kozlowski, PhD, clinical assistant professor, and former graduate students Maya Lambiase and Thomas F. McCarthy, all of the Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, UB School of Public Health and Health Professions.
The studies were funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Overcoming Your Fear of Social Media Marketing What stops you from becoming a giant in your industry using social media marketing? The answer is fear. Think about all the places that you could use to increase your business if you just put aside your fears and tried. Here are a few of our favorites:
• YouTube
• Facebook
• Google+
• LinkedIn
• Twitter
• Instagram
• Pinterest
What type of content produces the biggest results on most of these social media sites? Video beats any other type of content. This is where the fear factor hits for most people. They cannot imagine sitting in front of a camera and talking for five to thirty minutes to share a story.
The idea of doing a video makes their hands sweat and their heart pound. You need to get over it. If you want to become a big success, using social media marketing you must use video. Let us talk about some ways for you to overcome your fear and hesitation.
The first suggestion is just start. Turn on your webcam and start recording some horrible videos. Do it as simple video blog and upload them to YouTube. You can even joke in your videos about how terrible you look today and how your message is rambling. The important thing is to do it. One of the top leaders in the network-marketing world recently issued a challenge to his entire organization to create videos for 90 days straight. Imagine how much improvement you would make in 90 days of doing a video blog on YouTube.
A video blog allows you to relax and just talk about anything. You do not have to stay focused on your business. You can share about a video you watched, the book you are reading, or something that happened in your life. This is your playground to improve your skills and at the same time to start creating a bigger presence in social media. We recommend sharing your videos on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites to increase your viewers.
Along with doing a video blog, you should start doing a tutorial or sales video several times each week. Create content people will enjoy watching. These videos can be done using screen recording software like Camtasia. We recommend using your own voice to narrate your videos since it adds a personal touch and helps expand your authority and impact in your market.
Yes, we claimed we were going to help you overcome your fear. The only way you are going to overcome your fear is to start making the videos, sharing them, and enjoy the embarrassment. You are going to make some bad videos the first few weeks. How do we know that? We made terrible videos for weeks. We felt the sweat. Our voice shook as we talked. Our hands trembled as we tried to focus on what we wanted to say.
After we recorded videos for 21 days, things started to change. We started feeling relaxed. Our confidence grew. The only way you will overcome your fear of video in your social media marketing is to dive head first into recording videos. It may be uncomfortable for a few weeks. Once your confidence grows, your marketing impact will skyrocket.

Welcome to the 477th Metamorphosis Monday!
Good Morning! Sharing a mini-Met today that may be opening a big 'ol can of worms. I'm good at that…opening up cans of fat, wiggly worms!
See those striped cushions on the chairs in this older photo taken back around the 4th of July?
They were never quite what I wanted for the porch, but worked in a pinch a few years back when I couldn't find anything better.
They are starting to look pretty tired and faded these days. I tried washing them once in my washing machine and it didn't work so well. They ended up with whitish streaks across them.
In yesterday's post HERE, I shared a couple of cushions I purchased on a shopping trip to Pier 1. I love blue and green together, it's one of my fave color combinations. The green looked like it would work with the green settee and swing cushions I purchased back in 2008 (also from Pier 1) when I added on the screened porch.
So here's how they look on the porch. These pictures were taken late yesterday evening and it was almost dark out. Ignore the bare hutch, I haven't officially opened the porch for business yet, but with temps in the 60's and 70's this week, I think it's about time. The pollen still hasn't hit, though…it should be here any day.
The green cushions on the swing and settee have held up quite well these past 10 years., especially considering they live out here full time. I don't even take them in during the winter because I enjoy using the porch on the milder winter days we occasionally get here.
The cushions at Pier 1 cost a bit more than in some stores, but the quality is always excellent! When I purchased the green settee and swing cushions back in 2008, I caught them on sale, 40% off, so they were only around $40 each. So watch for those sales if you're in need of cushions.
Here's a little close-up. I don't know why I love this shade of green so much, but you'll see it in many places on the porch…like the hutch and the lamp here beside the chair. I think I love it because it's so restful, so relaxing. Plus, it makes me think of nature, trees and pretty green fields.
So about that can of worms…these are the cushions on the wicker chairs around the table. They are still in very good shape as you can see, but I'm wondering if they conflict with the green and blue cushions I just added to the seating group. They do have a little blue in them, although it's more of a pale blue.
They work great for these chairs, fit them as if they were designed for them. Plus, they sit wonderfully. I purchased them back around 2008 from Kohls. I wonder if Kohls still carries this style, didn't see them the last time I was in there. Maybe it's good to have the dining area a little different from seating area…not too matchy, matchy. (Tablescape can be viewed here: Summer Table with Watermelon Centerpiece.)
Be glad when the trees look like this again, shouldn't be too long now!
Looking forward to all the wonderful Before and Afters for this week's Metamorphosis Monday!
