Chris Brown REVEALS The DEFINING MOMENT In His Life + Drake TELLS Graduates To "FOLLOW THROUGH"
Pop stars Chris Brown and Drake both dished out words of encouragement, over the weekend, with Chris airing his inspirational comeback story "This Is How I Made It" and Drake's graduation speech. Watch both clips inside...
International superstar Chris Brown opened up about his humble beginnings and meteoric rise to the top on MTV's inspirational series "This Is How I Made It" recently.
Growing up in Tappahannock, Virginia, was difficult for his family as money was always an issue. He says he sometimes had to borrow shoes from cousins and friends.
Though he was very active in sports, dancing and theater, he says music was the most important thing to him.
He said he first performed in church at the age of 9 or 10 and he sang "His Eye Is On The Sparrow." He remembered that he began to cry and his mom said, "That's the holy ghost, baby." He joked that he had more church clothes than school clothes.
While recounting his career highlights, he says his defining moment was his first MTV VMA performance where he paid tribute to Charlie Chaplin. He felt like he'd made it.
And though he never addressed the Rihanna incident directly, he talked about going through some struggles and how public opinion about him drastically shifted.
He talked about making it through those obstacles, "My legacy can hopefully show [people] that once you're down, that don't just mean you're down forever."

In other inspirational news.....
Drake, who recently got his high school diploma, shared a few words of encouragement with the graduating class of Jarvis Collegiate Institute in Toronto. He talked about "following through" on things you start.
"What this is about today for all of you is the art of following through. That's one of the most important life lessons that my uncle every taught me. I'm so proud of you because there are different ways to follow through, and tonight you followed through with a straight shot and for that, you should give yourself a round of applause."
He added that the "journey" is also a big part of the process.
"Sometimes it's about going there, not getting there. Sometimes it's the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination. And sometimes when you get there, you'll look back and you'll realize that you wish you could go there again because all the experiences are the reason that you are who you are today. I want you all to give a round of applause for yourselves for getting there."
He summed up the speech with a dedication to his mother saying, "This piece of paper I'd like to dedicate to my mother because she's a retired teacher and always wanted me to graduate. I think I'll sleep a little better tonight knowing that I found a way to follow through."
Nicki Minaj tweeted a teaser from her upcoming commercial saying, "This is actually NOT the PINK FRIDAY FRAGRANCE COMMERCIAL, u guys will see that in a week or 2, this is internet promo."
Also, she's be appearing on the E! channel in a 3-part reality series starting Sunday, November 4, at 10:30 p.m. She said,
"We watched the REUP DVD and the 1st episode of the E! series….u guys are going to go crazzzzyyyyy when you see it! NOV19TH DVD, NOV4TH E!

Bear Eats Monkey During a Bicycle Race [VIDEO]
I guess this bear wanted to win by any means necessary.
During the middle of what looks to be a Chinese circus of some sorts there was a bicycle race between a bear and a monkey. Well as you would assume the monkey was dominating the race. But that all came to a screeching bloody stop when the bear decided to quit the race and grab some lunch.

Farrah Abraham has had some epic publicity stunts over the years. Hello, "accidentally" leaked sex tape!? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge? So the question is, Teen Mom fans, are you ready for Farrah's latest stunt?
You may already be caught up in it! You've heard of Brian Dawe, Farrah's "boyfriend" of the past five months, who was "suddenly" outed in a series of paparazzi shots that just so happened to capture the couple casually walking hand-in-hand and kissing sweetly? The photos were so unlike all those usual paparazzi shots of stars looking harried and annoyed that they're being followed, often wearing the sort of clothes they only wear to run to the corner store or without makeup.
You get where I'm going with this, don't you?
More From The Stir: Amber Portwood Should Get Custody Now That She's Out of Prison
The newest rumor on the block is that Farrah and Brian share a manager, and that their relationship has just been cooked up to get the former Teen Mom star some more attention and to boost Brian's name recognition on a national level.
Farrah's new boyfriend may not really be her boyfriend.
Don't believe it?
Well consider this: after Farrah put up a Keek video asking people to weigh in on what she should do if her boyfriend's cheating on her, Brian responded by saying he's never cheated on a girlfriend in his life. Fair enough? Oh, but wait. He also came out to say he hasn't even bothered asking Farrah about the video.
Uh, really? Your girlfriend asks the Internet what to do about a cheating boyfriend, and you don't even ask her about it?
Not likely ... unless she's not really your girlfriend ...
Listen, folks, it's possible that these two just met through their manager and it's all innocent. Then again, Farrah's history doesn't exactly bode well for the veracity of this "relationship."
Do you think being hooked up with Farrah will hurt Brian or help him?

Adopted: at the Second Congress of the Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist) April 9-12, 1971. First Published: 1971

For over 200 years the battle between the classes, i.e., in Britain the working class and the capitalist class, has raged. It has ebbed and flowed according to the strength, understanding and contradiction between these two classes. The working class never ceasing, never surrendering but neither remaining true to its revolutionary origin nor ever totally pursuing that aim without reservation.
"Theories", suggestions have been proffered from time to time to explain this phenomenon. The truth is that the revolutionary aims of Marxism have been distorted to deliberately corrupt the working class mind, direct it to reformism – even, if allowed, to subservience. The social democrats have filched from us, the workers, our national heritage. Yet they have failed, for the incessant war rages, the classes cannot be reconciled. Today this is more and more clear, the contradictions cannot be concealed, hence revolution is the main trend.
All over the world the struggle continues in many forms at all stages.
In the Middle East, in Latin America, above all in Vietnam, a gallant nation, true to its revolutionary destiny for freedom, socialism and the emancipation of mankind. In Vietnam they have defeated the most powerful military might ever developed by an imperialist power, the strongest today in the world. The U.S.A., driven back, surrounded, unable to extricate, lashes out like the wild beast, a dying beast, crossing borders in attempts to escape, and turning on its own at home.
Two great peoples, nations of peasant and worker joined together point the way – Albania and China. Marxist-Leninist parties everywhere build daily, fight more strongly.
In the U.S.S.R., first champions of Leninism now betrayed, the battle begins anew in underground and semi-legal form.
The struggle in Britain so constantly denigrated as "economic" is as organic and necessary to revolution as the gun, just as is the fight for land, bread and liberty for the peasant in other lands. It is corrupting only if it becomes an attempt live with the opposite class, the capitalist class.
This is not possible when Heath – in a covert declaration war against our class – says the new danger to the fabric society is Civil War. Only the destruction of the class for which he speaks, the overthrow of the capitalist state power will suffice. Violence is not the monopoly of a capitalist state and class. The answer to attack is attack, hit harder. Guided by Marxism-Leninism with a revolutionary party so directed we shall meet the struggle and establish workers' power.
We must see the great developments of Marxism-Leninism through the teaching of Mao Tsetung, which led the great Chinese people to victory and to develop socialism. These developments of that great teacher are not for the Chinese alone, they are part of the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism; adapted, they apply everywhere in the world of revolutionary struggle according to the region or country and are a living great extension of Marxism-Leninism today for which we are eternally indebted.
Be not afraid, we are not alone, the world of workers is rising and fighting back.
Revolution is the main trend.
Reg Birch
* * *
All political organisations in Britain and all institutions have it in common that they are for the preservation of capitalism in some form or other. From the Rightest reactionaries to the Leftist reformists the common aim is to live with the system and make it work. The only exception is the one Party whose aim is the revolutionary overthrow of capitalist class power and its replacement by the dictatorship of the proletariat for the building of socialism. That is us, the Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist).
We cannot accomplish our aim without an understanding of the forces in our society, how they are in contradiction, and how to develop and intensify those contradictions in such a way that the ruling class cannot continue and will have power taken from them by the working class. We must also be clear as to the role of our Party in that struggle and its relation to the working class which alone is the force that can destroy capitalism.
Class struggle has always existed since there were classes to struggle. The interests of the classes, and in Britain there are only two – those who sell their labour power and those who exploit the labour of others – are so opposed as to make struggle inevitable. Workers accept this as a fact without acknowledging the logical historical conclusion. We who claim political clarity must relate to the class struggle not simply to be able to explain that question which puzzles Marxists abroad – why is the oldest and most experienced proletariat so lacking in political acumen – but to change this situation.
Before coming in detail to the class struggle in Britain and the role of our Party we must dispense with the idea that there is no struggle or that it has been "toned down". The case has been glibly argued, usually to explain the better wages and conditions in Britain than in her colonies, that the working class became a partner of capitalism in imperialist plunder and was rewarded with the "crumbs" of this plunder in the form of wage increases and various welfare benefits (free education, council housing, health service, etc.) The working class was therefore content to live in peace with its own capitalist class.
We repudiate this idea totally. First, there is not today and never has been such a peace declared. The working class lives in a state of perpetual guerrilla conflict with the employers. The level of struggle has varied according to region, according to industry and according to the political understanding of the workers concerned but it has never ceased. Second, wage increases have been won in the course of this struggle. No employer has ever conceded "crumbs" to workers out of benevolence; any improvement has been extorted from him by the mass strength and tactical ingenuity of the workers. Third, welfare measures were no gifts but were paid for by taxes on workers' wages. They suited capitalism because in a highly industrialised economy literate, healthy workers can be exploited all the more intensively.
The truth is that the more highly industrialised a country is, the more productive is its labour power and the greater is the value produced by its working class. Workers are able through struggle to make some inroads into this value they create in the form of wage increases – inroads which could not have been made in a non-industrialised economy where the value has not been created. Poverty, therefore, is far greater in the colonial non-industrialised world than it is in a country like Britain. Yet the form that poverty takes varies depending on the level of industrialisation, and there is scarcely a worker in Britain who is more than one-wage-packet away from extreme destitution. But if absolute poverty is less in Britain than in the colonial world, the exploitation is no less, for what the workers produce is stolen by the capitalists.
Imperialism, the highest form of capitalism, is stronger than national capitalism. It follows that an imperialist power fights on all fronts as a predator; equally it is the more flexible by virtue of its power. Its organic aim is to encircle and enslave all within its orbit. Nevertheless that flexibility which enables it to advance on one front as against another from time to time constitutes a great weakness as well as a strength. But as Marxists we can never say that because it does not continually wage war on all fronts, in all regions wherever it is, that its inability to do so or its greater pre-occupation with one area as against another is in any form a suggestion of leniency to the whole or any part thereof, leave alone any idea that it is ever open to that power to bribe, corrupt or appease any section, because of the irreconcilable class conflict it engenders. It is axiomatic that reaction abroad breeds reaction at home: witness today the greatest imperialist power, the U.S.A. – the more inextricably engulfed in Vietnam the more vicious and reactionary is it at home. This is a natural law.
The different forms and different degrees of exploitation and poverty in the industrialised imperialist countries and the non-industrialised colonies should blind no one to the fact that in essence they are the same wherever encountered. There is an irreconcilable antagonism between working people the world over and the imperialist monopolies that exploit and oppress. In Britain this antagonism has never ceased to generate class struggle at the point of production.
As situations have changed for the British ruling class they have always been able to adapt in order to continue their power to exploit. British capitalism has withstood many severe crises, it is no longer one of the major imperialist powers, but it has still managed to preserve its power. Through its various phases its interests have brought it into conflict with the workers sometimes in a mass form and all the time in sporadic class battles wherein workers have struggled to defend some gain or secure some immediate advantage. Capitalism has always managed to avoid the decisive class conflict in which not just its means to regulate its system is challenged but the system itself.
In every industrial country save Britain there is relative industrial peace. Here every agreement is but an armistice and tomorrow is the war. That is because in Britain the birth of the Trade Unions was the birth of dignity for our class. They were not in origin a bourgeois institution, nor are they today in the mass; hence the perpetual conflict between mass and "leaders". In Britain, the oldest industrial country, the Trade Unions developed as organs of class struggle with no other purpose. They were established in conspiracy and against the law. All the forces of the state were employed to destroy them, and today when the exercise of the normal functions of the Trade Unions poses a serious threat politically and economically to the ruling class. That class wields state power to render these functions illegal and punishable. The Trade Union despite all the efforts of the ruling class is still in Britain working class organ and weapon made up of that class and is not a part of the establishment – no more so than going to work for capitalism makes us capitalist or part of capitalism. Because some individuals become or seek to become bourgeoisified it does not mean our class is so. The question before the working class at present, and only our Party raises it, is why is it that the ruling class as weak as it is can threaten the life of the Trade Unions and not the Trade Unions threaten the life of the ruling class. Our answer is this: of course the Trade Unions will not destroy capitalism. They are organs of mass struggle but they are not revolutionary organs and never were.
The most backward aspect of trade unionism is shown by their creation, the Labour Party. The Trade Unions, born out of struggle, gave birth to the Labour Party which has always denied and betrayed struggle. This Labour Party which was created to defend and advance the workers' interests has never me anything politically but to betray its class origins. Its efforts in recent time to put shackles on the Trade Unions for the self same purpose as the Tories is only one of its manifestations as a party of the establishment, part of the system, an arm of the state. The mass abstention at the 1970 general election was a sign that more workers than ever now see, because it is now so clear, the real role of Social Democracy. The historical relationship of the Labour Party to the Trade Unions is not paralleled in any other country and should be seen as more important in relation to the failure of the British working class to develop politically than any other factor.
The revisionist Communist Party of Great Britain in terms of its own platform as well as its performance in the class struggle and the Trade Unions differs only from Social Democracy in appearance and phraseology and even that difference is becoming noticeably narrower. Its "peaceful co-existence", "unity of the left", etc., only add up to the concept of living with capitalism and not destroying it. To destroy capitalism or to live with it is the touchstone and point of departure. Our position is clear but so long as it is only clear to us and not to the mass, capitalism will survive whatever the form, be it called bourgeois democracy or fascism. All the signposts today point to the development of the Corporate State. Our role therefore becomes all the more urgent.
We alone do not see class struggles as ends in themselves for if we do we are no different to the others who seek to live with the system. But while we do not get the struggle for the bits and pieces out of perspective we cannot ignore it, more than that, we have to be, and be seen to be, part of that struggle; but how?
We cannot relate to class battles as sympathisers, cheerleaders, commentators. Neither can we be judged in relation to class struggle by what we say about ourselves. Whether the struggle is in factory, Trade Union, school, university or wherever the ruling class or its agents are challenged we cannot be effective unless we are involved. Such involvement entails a proper understanding of the role of the Party in relation to the mass. The Party line must be a mass line or we are only posturing and phrasemongering.
There can be no acceptance of our Party by the working ass as a political leadership unless we show the working class from the standpoint of their own experience not only at we are the most advanced section of the working class in the day to day tactical struggle with capitalism but also the necessity to relate all struggles to the central issue of class power. Nobody else will persuade the workers that as necessary as it is to fight the class enemy the economic gains of all types of struggle are temporary and in the long run illusory. The true gains are political and consist in the ideological clarity that can be won in such struggle.
In the conduct of economic struggles we must be seen as he most astute in terms of tactics, practising as well as teaching the lessons we have learned. Showing our readiness to learn from the workers as well as instruct. Showing courage but not adventurism, leading but never tailing. Leading, but in such a way as not to be separated from the mass and all the time seeking to take from among the working class in struggle the best, the most intelligent, honest and courageous to form a vanguard which alone can relate all tactical issues to the central strategy of the conquest of power. We must be able to bring to the working class, who have a long history of struggle often involving much sacrifice, the understanding that perpetual defence involves permanent subjection, that the class war expressed in economic struggles has to be a guerrilla war, a protracted offensive related to a strategy of utter defeat for the class enemy. The alternative is the class collaboration so well epitomised by Labour governments and all the erstwhile working class leaders bedecked with knighthoods and peerages.
Nobody else knows the British working class as we do, its history of struggle and betrayal, the false trails, the easy ways out, the illusions many still remaining. Nobody else can do what we set out to do.
Our Party, founded by industrial workers, must be a part of our class, must in every sense belong to our class. If we say such a party is based on the working class as it must be to be revolutionary, then it cannot be above the working class, an intellectual force based on the theory of Marx separate from the working class. In fact the intellect and the leadership must come from the working class, for it is this class force that makes revolution possible. In a word, Marxism is not a separate theory, an intellectual force to be bestowed on the working class but is, in fact, a derivative of that class.
Often the assertion that the working class is the force for revolution, that they make the revolution, is largely lip service. It is rather considered that a revolutionary party is made up of special men whose knowledge of Marxist theory is a peculiar and unique study to be doled out to those more ignorant as the guiding spirit given a revolutionary situation. This concept is wrong, for it must of necessity make the theory of revolution the special art of a few and not that of the people, and must imply that the motive force, i.e., the working class, are inspired by the environmental situation and respond emotionally in anger and protest to revolution without knowing why, and that this ignorance is corrected by Marxist-Leninist theory supplied by an elite body, i.e., the Party. This is in contradiction with the premise that the working class is a revolutionary force. It cannot be if it does not know the how and why of revolution.
Without our Party understands this relationship to the working class and accepts the conclusions and conducts this task it cannot be a revolutionary party. In our desire to identify ourselves as of the proletariat superficial approaches must be avoided. To say students must go into the factories to integrate with the workers is patronising. Equally, to define white-collar and professional workers as petty bourgeois is adolescent and reactionary. In this, the oldest and most proletarianised of capitalist countries, all the intermediate classes left over by feudalism have been absorbed into the proletariat, as the peasantry. There are more and more white collar workers in industry and latterly there has been a growing trade union development among teachers, draughtsmen, scientific workers and others. They have fought against classification as bosses men and for equality gradings with industrial workers.
To say three cheers for every strike is another superficial approach. You cannot be truly identified with a strike unless you are on strike also. What is required is that the mass, the strikers are motivated to make revolution, which means they must be led by revolutionaries from their own ranks. Above all, the action they are taking, even though not a revolutionary character, must be strategically sound and politically well conducted. Then the class struggle itself will be the necessary teacher. It follows that we must recruit from these skilled class warriors and that the party must be made up in cadre force overwhelmingly of these leaders, follows also that we have the task of assisting them in strategy and tactics, in the analyses that will create such action, for there is no such thing as a hand-picked natural Marxist.
To believe that sympathy with strike action will proletaianise the Party is to suggest that association makes identity, very like guilt by association. Particularly could the latter be true when strikes are ill conceived, tactically misdirected. It is our job to assist – more, ours to be of, i.e., have Marxists in such action and where possible to lead. If all we ever do is sit by and rest on the general objective that all class struggle is good, how are we leading? At best we applaud spontaneity. If that action results in defeat as it frequently does (which is not of itself a criterion, remembering that defeats are temporary, that in ultimate it is a question of losing a battle but going on to win the war), and if from lack of understanding or ineptitude it results in the demoralisation of that force then we who associate uncritically without assisting compound that demoralisation, and will ultimately ourselves be demoralised. When there are setbacks, to explain that this is due to the treachery of Trade Union officials is too facile. It is done to excuse ourselves and is also excusing the ignorance of the whole section in struggle which is unpardonable, and also contributes to the theory that workers do not know what or why they are doing to be so misled, which again brings us back to the question of revolution. What if we substitute a Party in treachery for the Trade Union leaders in treachery? We cannot so be if we are part of that revolutionary force, the working class. For when they know the what or why, they cannot be betrayed. They will destroy the counter-revolutionary which is what our Party would be if it betrayed.
The unmistakable conclusion is that our task is nothing less than to change the ideology of our class. To do this we have to convey our politic to the mass through our Party and not just through the agency of some "broad front". To the extent that we do this in the right way we render the working class immune from the ideology of capitalism and its agents in the form of social democracy and revisionism. In all our struggles we must seize every opportunity to relate Marxist-Leninist theory to the practice of the working class. Only thus shall we, the workers, make the change in the ideology of this working class of Britain, which has demonstrated all the way since Tolpuddle and before that all it lacks is its own ideology and has yet to discover that that ideology is Marxism-Leninism. We must therefore judge all our efforts against the contribution made to this end, for if we do not then our efforts will only perpetuate the confusion of thought which alone has held back the British working class for so long.

Birthright FAQ
Birthright Israel is the most significant Jewish philanthropic endeavour of its kind. The co-founders of the project, philanthropists Charles R. Bronfman and Michael Steinhardt, have created a unique and unprecedented partnership between the Government of Israel, Jewish Federations/communities around the world and private philanthropists. These partners believe that it is every Jew's right to be offered a first-time visit to Israel as a gift from the Jewish people.
You are eligible for the Birthright Israel gift if you meet all three of the following criteria:
- At least 1 Jewish parent
- 18 through 32 (see below)
- Applicants who traveled to Israel prior to turning 18, on a program designed for high school teens, for a period shorter than three months in length are eligible. Even if you were 18 at the time of the trip, you are eligible, as long as the trip was designed for high school students.
- Applicants who participated in most "High School in Israel" programs for up to a semester are eligible.
- Applicants who traveled to Israel since turning 18 on a family trip, a multi-generational trip, or some interfaith/secular experiences are eligible.
- Applicants who traveled to Israel after turning 18 on programs designed for college students or young adults are not eligible. Programs include University, study abroad, gap year, yeshiva/seminary, internship and any other experience under the umbrella of Onward Israel or Masa Israel.
Winter 2017- 2018
We have multiple departures from December through March.
Check out the Our Trips page for exact dates.
Birthright Israel Israel Experts groups depart from New York area airports and Miami and Los Angeles. Airfare to and from Tel Aviv is part of the Birthright Israel gift, but participants are responsible for making their own way to the departure point.
No. Although dates for the trips are often set in order to accommodate student schedules, you are eligible as long as you meet the three basic eligibility criteria above.
As the tour is open only to individuals who have never been to Israel on an organized trip, you will likely be with many others who don't speak a word of Hebrew, are not religious, and who may feel quite distant from their Jewish background.
As for the language issue, many Israelis speak English fluently, and all programs, including the activities during which you'll meet Israeli peers, will be conducted in English.
Yes. Apart from lunch, snacks, and spending money, there is no cost involved for the 10-day program. This gift is 100% subsidized through the generosity of major philanthropists, local Jewish Federations and the Government of Israel. You will be asked to send a refundable $250 deposit after you are accepted to the program. This deposit is only intended to secure your space on the program and will be fully refunded once you've completed it, no questions asked and no strings attached. It will also be refunded if you voluntarily withdraw your application before a specified cancellation deadline set by Birthright Israel. There are no other administration or registration fees whatsoever.
Believe it or not, there is no catch. There are no hidden costs and no one will ask you to do anything in particular when you return. All that will be asked of you is that you participate fully in the program itself during the time you're in Israel. Of course, we'd like to think that you will enjoy the experience so much that you'll share it with eligible friends and acquaintances who have yet to visit Israel.
The majority of disturbances we've seen in the news occur in specific areas, namely the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Israel Experts programs do not visit these areas and we make sure to coordinate our itineraries with various security agencies throughout Israel. Also, the program is run in a very structured way and participants are forbidden to use public transportation or to walk about freely without any supervision. Birthright Israel programs have run successfully and incident-free since 1999, with over 400,000 participants in spite of the situation.
For a more detailed explanation of the security measures taken on the trips, contact us.
It includes a round-trip ticket to Israel from one among several designated departure cities, shared hotel accommodations, two meals a day (usually breakfast and dinner), ground transportation in air-conditioned luxury tour coaches, entrance fees to all sites on the itinerary, and the services of qualified staff and tour guides. Spending money for gifts and personal purchases is your responsibility, of course.
As for the program details, check out our Trip Options section for more information.
There will be structured opportunities to explore selected areas of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other cities. If you have family in Israel, they will be able to visit you at your hotel over Shabbat, or you may extend your stay after the program for longer visits. At no time will participants be allowed to be picked up by family or friends during the trip, nor leave the trip to visit them.
Israel Experts offers an incredible extension program through Birthright Israel Plus called Building New Bridges. This extension program introduces participants to Israeli and Palestinian grassroots change-makers. To learn more click here- https://www.birthrightisrael.com/extend
Extensions prior to departure are handled through Gil Travel (Birthright Israel's travel agency). We highly recommend that you extend your stay prior to leaving the US since all seats are subject to availability, contract specifications and specific classes of service by the airlines. Although some airlines permit the extension to be made in Israel, it can be time consuming, and seats are limited.
Please note : It is the participants' responsibility to contact the airline if they are not flying on the original or new extended return date. Participants who are a no-show to the airline, risk having their return ticket classified "NULL and VOID" and will be responsible to buy a one-way return ticket.
You can only make your extension request via the Gil Travel website and must allow sufficient time for it to be processed prior to your departure date. The link for extension reservations is: http://www.giltravel.com/extensionsinfo.htm
There will usually be 40 participants on your bus and depending upon the trip you choose, they will probably come from all over the United States. Birthright Israel trips are available to people from the USA, Canada and many other countries throughout the world. There will also be a group of Israelis joining your trip for part of the time.
Individual groups travel in one bus each and are usually made up of 40 participants plus staff. The staff includes a Ministry of Education certified Israeli tour guide, two IsraelExperts group leaders and one Israeli guard/medic. We also have a number of support staff that move from group to group to ensure things go smoothly. Although individual groups may occasionally run into each other at various sites, they are normally independent of one another.
Unless the trip is a community or campus trip, participants do not typically come from one region but rather from all over the United States. From experience, we believe that there is educational value in experiencing Israel with fellow Jews from other places. For the benefit of group dynamics, IsraelExperts groups are divided by age whenever there are multiple departures on a given date.
YES!! You do need one and this is something you should take care of right away. Click here to get a detailed explanation of passport and visa requirements for travel to Israel. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your planned return date to your country of origin.
Let us know the names of the people you'd like to be with during your telephone interview. You should also complete the registration process at the same time and be sure to sign up for the same trip. We'll do our best to make sure that you're all placed together.
Shabbat in Israel is a unique and varied experience. In some cities, business comes to a stop, traffic is halted, and the streets are filled with people walking to and from synagogue and to friends and families for dinner. In other places, restaurants and clubs are open for Israelis who see Shabbat as a chance to change pace, relax, have a day off, and meet with friends.
Israel Experts celebrates the pluralism that makes Israel such a wonderful place to be for Shabbat. Depending on the itinerary and the number of Shabbats during the trip, you can expect to experience Shabbat in Israel in one of many ways. For some it may be a walk to the Western Wall, while for others it may be a choice of services and discussions while on a remote kibbutz in the Negev.
In all cases, we join together as a community to share in a special Shabbat dinner and gather afterwards to reflect on our experiences. As an organization that is geared towards a pluralistic and non-denominational group, we strive to create an experience that is accessible to all. Israel Experts guarantees that each participant will have an unforgettable experience that is special for your group and unique to Israel. Like all Birthright Israel trips, we do not travel on Shabbat and all meals throughout the trip are Kosher.
Due to safety and security requirements, you will NOT be allowed to leave the group at any time throughout the 10 day program. Family and friends are welcome to come and visit you in the hotels when you do not have a program, and you will see time scheduled on your itinerary stating when else family and friends may come and visit.
If you want to apply for an extension program while you are still in the US, you can click here for more information. If you decide to extend when you are in Israel, there will be some reservation forms on your bus which you can fill out and fax over to our office, or you can call the office and we will fill out the form for you.
The best time to arrange an extension to Europe would be while you're still in the U.S. You will first need to confirm your flight extension with Gil Travel before arranging your European flight.
If we decide to extend our trip to Europe, does that mean we have to fly back to Israel to return home on our original flight or can we fly home from Europe on a different airline?
You will have to go back to Israel and fly back to the States from Israel. Another option is that you buy your own ticket from Europe back to the States which means that you will forfeit the return portion of your Birthright Israel ticket.
There are three ways to get to Eilat. The first is to join one of our Israel Adventure trips this season! The other two are on your own. You can take a bus from Tel Aviv/Jerusalem. The bus ride is from 5 to 6 hours long. The second way is by taking a 45 minute flight to Eilat.
We want you to make a decision with as much information in hand as you need. Feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com (link sends e-mail) or by calling us toll-free at 1-800-218-9851. From the beginning of registration, we will be in the office in Israel ready to answer your calls from Sunday through Thursday between the hours of 7am and 5pm (New York time). We would also like to recommend you join our Facebook page, where you can meet participants who have already been to Israel with us and those, like yourself, who are just beginning their journey. We'll be glad to answer any questions and address any concerns you may have about the trip. If you'd like, we can also refer you to one of our past participants so that you get a first-hand account of the experience from someone just like you.
PayPal has been added as a payment option for all US applicants
Payoneer will remain a payment option for all US applicants
In Canada, applicants (based on the addresses you provide in their application) will have the option to pay via their PayPal account, or using their credit card (through PayPal)
To account for the conversion rate from Canadian to US Dollars, the deposit amount for Canadians will be $300 CA (+ $10 CA handling fee)

Bunk'd: Emma And Ravi (MF,MMF,mF,cons,oral,anal)
by Tori ([email protected])
"Tell me you're a whore. Go on, say it."
The cute blonde was bent over a tree stump getting fucked from behind in her tight little pussy pounded softly said, "I'm a whore."
The man slapped her ass and said, "Say it louder. You're a fucking whore."
Emma Ross felt herself start to cum and yelled out, "FUCK!!!! I'M A WHORE. OH MY GOD!!!!! I'M A FUCKING WHORE!!!!!"
The young beauty's orgasm hit her hard and she began to shake and coat the man's cock with her juices. The man fucking her slammed her pussy harder and then pulled his cock out, shooting his load all over her back. Emma collapsed on the stump still breathing hard from her orgasm as he came around in front of her and fed her his cum covered cock. The pretty rich girl from New York willingly licked and sucked it clean.
When he was satisfied, he pulled his shorts up and said, "That was awesome Emma. Xander was right, you're a great piece of ass. Thanks for the ride." He started back to the camp leaving Emma to pull her panties and shorts up.
The blonde beauty sat back down and picked up her t-shirt. She could feel his cum all over her back so she used her t-shirt to wipe off as much as she could before pulling it on and slowly walked back to her cabin. When she got there, she quickly went in and took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
* * *
At dinner that evening, Emma looked over at the senior counselor's table and saw the man that fucked her earlier staring at her. He leaned over to one of the other male counselor's and said something that made both men look her way and smile.
After dinner, Emma was heading back to her cabin when the man came up to her and told her meet him at the stump after lights out. Emma agreed and when she arrived at the spot, she found the man waiting but he wasn't alone. The other senior counselor was with him and both men were busy stroking their cocks.
Emma stood and stared at the two huge meat sticks and started to salivate.
"I told Tom here what a great fuck you were. He wants a taste too. How about it?"
She knew she had to have them so she quickly dropped to her knees and started to suck. She alternated between the two cocks, taking them deep down her throat. Emma licked and sucked their balls and made sure they were good and hard. She stood up and quickly stripped out of her clothes and then went back down on them.
One of the men pulled her up on her feet and got behind her. He slid his cock into her dripping wet pussy while she kept sucking the big cock in her mouth. The two men switched places and kept the young girl's holes filled with cock. Within minutes, Emma started to cum and screamed out just as the man pulled out and came all over the gorgeous blonde's face. He slapped her face with it and then pushed it back in, allowing her to slurp up the rest of his load.
The other man pulled his cock out of her pussy and pulled her over to the stump. He pushed her down and spit several times on her tight little asshole and pushed his finger in.
Emma closed her eyes and felt her ass start to gape. She looked back at the man and said, "Go on. You can fuck my ass if you want it."
The man pushed another finger inside and said, "First, tell me again. What are you?"
Emma smiled and said, "I'm a whore. Is that what you want to hear? I'M A WHORE!!!"
The man slapped her ass and pushed his cock deep into her bowels and said, "Yes, that's what I want. Tell me again. WHAT ARE YOU?" Emma's ass adjusted to the violation. The man pulled her head back by her long blonde hair and said, "TELL ME!!!"
Emma started to grunt and said, "I'M........A........WHORE!!!"
He slapped her ass and yelled, "AGAIN! SAY IT AGAIN!!!"
Emma reached back and spread her cheeks wide and screamed, "FUCKKKK.....I'M A FILTHY WHORE. A FUCKING FILTHY WHORE! HOLY FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!! I LOVE YOUR COCK IN MY ASS!!!!" She started to cum as the man pounded the young beauty into submission. "FUCK ME HARDER!!!! FUCK ME HARDDDEERRRR!!!"
* * *
Over in the bushes, Emma's stepbrother Ravi watched his sibling get sodomized. He had followed her into the woods. He pulled his cock out and started to jerk off. In his other hand was his camera. He filmed Emma and the two men and couldn't believe this was the same uptight preppy he shared a penthouse with in New York. The same uptight preppy he thought about when he masturbated every night in his bed. He never imagined she was such a slut. Ravi stroked his cock harder and then shot his load. He put his cock back in his pants and continued filming the two men defiling Emma. She was screaming out obscenities as they fucked her ass and when they finished, Emma sucked both their cocks, licking the filthy mess from each man before swallowing it down. He took his camera and went back to the camp and waited on Emma's porch.
She didn't see him at first but when he cleared his throat, she looked over and said, "Shit Ravi! You scared the crap out of me. What are you doing sitting there in the dark?"
Ravi smiled and said, "We need to talk. Come with me."
Emma followed Ravi into the deserted dining hall and sat down. "What's up little brother?" she asked.
Ravi turned the camera's screen towards her and said, "This."
Emma watched the video of her getting fucked by the two counselors and when it ended, she looked at Ravi and said, "So? I fucked two guys, what's the big deal?"
Ravi turned off the camera and took out his cock. He stood up and said, "The deal is this. I want you to orally satisfy me or I'll show this to Mom and Dad."
Emma thought about it for a second and then took his cock into her mouth. She sucked him off for several minutes and after swallowing his load, she asked, "Satisfied?"
Ravi put his cock back in his shorts and said, "Oh my yes, for now but I want more tomorrow. Think about it."
After Ravi left, she went to her cabin and climbed into her bunk. Emma fingered her pussy, thinking about having to do her stepbrother. After she got herself off, she smiled and said, "Hmmm, might not be so bad after all."
* * *
The next afternoon, Ravi saw Emma and the two counselors head into the woods and followed, waiting in the bushes for them to finish fucking his sister. After the men left, Emma looked over and said, "You can come out now, they're gone."
Ravi came out and looked at his cum covered sister sitting on the stump and said, "You really are a whore, aren't you?"
Emma wiped the mess off her face and said, "Hey, I'm not a whore. Whore's get paid. I just like to fuck." She dropped the towel on the ground and spread her legs and said, "So, do you want to fuck me or not?"
Ravi quickly stripped and said, "Hell yes I want to fuck you."
Emma got down on the grass and said, "Well come on, if you're man enough."
Ravi got on top of the pretty blonde and tried to push his cock into her sloppy hole. He kept missing and was humping the grass when Emma said, "Geez, let me guess. You're a virgin, aren't you?"
Ravi looked at her and said, "Well, technically, yes. Unless you count the hand job Tiffany gave me or of course, the oral gratification you gave me last night."
Emma pushed him off of her and said, "Lie down. I'll do it and it's called a blowjob dumbass."
Ravi laid on the grass and let his sister climb on top of him. She reached down and took his six inches in her hand and guided it to her pussy. Emma sat down on him and she could feel him getting harder. She ran her long pink fingernails across his chest as she bounced up and down on his cock.
Ravi reached up and started to play with her tits as she rode him. He looked up at his gorgeous sister and said, "You are so beautiful Emma. I can not believe I am actually having sex with you."
Emma leaned down and kissed him. She nibbled his ear and whispered, "Do you really think I'm beautiful?"
Ravi held her tight and said, "Of course. You are the most beautiful girl I know."
Ravi felt her pussy squeeze his cock and he started to cum immediately. He pumped his load deep into her hole and when she got off, she went down on him and licked up the rest.
"Mmmmmm, I just love the taste of my pussy mixed with cum," she said. She stood up and started getting dressed and said, "Meet me here after lights out and I'll let you do my other hole. That is, if you want too."
Ravi pulled his shorts on and said, "Your other hole? Oh, yes, your anus."
Emma kissed his cheek and said, "It's called an asshole stupid and yes, I'll let you fuck my asshole."
"That would be wonderful, indeed" he said and the two headed back to camp.
As they walked, Emma laughed and said, "Anus. You are so weird."
Ravi stopped and said, "I do not want to wait. I want to have anal sex with you right now."
Emma shrugged her shoulders and turned back towards the clearing. "Well, let's go then" she said.
Ravi quickly followed her back to the stump and soon as they were both naked, Emma bent over and said, "Hurry up already, I'm hungry."
Ravi stroked his hard cock and pressed it against her puckered ass. Emma felt him push the head inside and then Ravi shoved his cock balls deep into her hole. "FUCK!" Emma screamed. "Take it easy Ravi. Start slowly until you feel my ass open up, then you can fuck me harder, ok?"
Ravi started to slowly fuck her and said, "I am loving this anal sex. Your ass is so much tighter than your vagina."
Emma started to get wet and she reached down to play with her clit as her brother fucked her. "That's it. Now, fuck me harder. HARDER!!!"
Ravi began slamming his cock in and out of her gaping hole. Emma started to get herself off and when she did, her ass squeezed tight around Ravi's cock and he came. His cum filled her ass and when he pulled out, he watched his load pour out and run down her long, tan legs.
Emma reached back and scooped some up with her fingers and licked them clean. "Mmmmmmm, that tastes so good."
Emma slowly sat up on the stump and said, "Can we go get some dinner now?"
Ravi handed her clothes to her and said, "Yes, of course. I too am starving."
When they walked into the dining room, everyone stopped eating and looked at them.
Ravi pointed to her shorts and said, "Umm, Emma?"
Emma looked down and said, "FUCK!"
She quickly ran to her cabin and took off her shorts and stared at the big wet stain. "Son of a bitch!"
After she changed, she went back to the dining hall and everyone stood and started to clap and cheer. Emma turned beet red and sat down.
Lou leaned over and said, "Don't worry roomie, you aren't the first girl that came in here with a wet spot on her shorts and I'm sure you won't be the last. Of course, you're probably the first girl at this camp that fucked her brother, but hey, I'm not judging."
Emma started to eat and said, "Thanks Lou. Of course, he is only my stepbrother."
Lou smiled and said, "Was he any good?"
Emma thought about it for a minute and said, "I'll let you know."
The two girls laughed and went back to eating their meal.

Not my best Onsoun, but my first time trying him as a Mortal. Onsoun posts are usually much longer but I didn't want to freak Sia or anyone out too much xD @[Sikeax] OPEN as well.
Saints And Sinners, We're All The Same When They Peel Our Skin Back
My heart is rotten, I know this. Rotten to the core and yet it yearns for the company of my family and my companion, but accompanying that is a festering anger that bubbles more and more with a hatred. This is evident from the mumbling I produce from my throat, I am not here on accident, I am here for a purpose. For the promise land of which my prized child had spoken of when we met. When she had some child of a pale colour trailing after her. A frown appears on my white face, the child was nothing I had expected Adrixaura to produce. I had expected something more grand, something worthy of my blood. Of my princess, my first legitimate child. The one who pierced my soul with her love like her mother had. But instead she had presented some cream thing with a personality that contrasted me and Adrixauras. Oh my dear Adri, how I miss her wit and sharp tongue. She's probably hunting Nephelia, my daughter who tore my face and left a scar upon my left cheek. And yet, here I am letting her risk her life in whatever the hell it is that she does. But it doesn't bother me, my child is strong and handles herself well. This thought causes my head to raise in enjoyment and memories of her chasing my companion and torturing him with love fill my head. This only fuels my hatred for what I left behind. For the murderers. But for some reason I cannot help but smile, for I know when they die he will be waiting at the edge of the after life. Thirsting for their souls such I myself do. Thirsting for justice. And who could blame him? Wrongfully executed and his race wiped from the face of the lands? Genocide, it's a cruel thing even I never intended to commit. That being said, it's not like it never happened when I refused to help the mortals. However I never refused them to torture them, I refused to help because their constant fighting and killing had made me sick. It's different when I kill, because I know why I'm doing it. For the pure release of emotions. To relieve myself of pain and anger. But the mortals? They didn't know why they were killing. And it's this thought that makes my legs pause and my ears twitch, will I walk into a battle field as a scarred, humiliated God now bound to a mortal life? For a moment I think of what it would be like to die as a mortal. Not bound to be reborn in the next few years, but allowed to sleep peacefully in the ground. It must be nice. A smirk forms upon my lips and I can't help but amuse myself with the idea of my own death. I'd probably die from tongue being too loose, wouldn't that be ironic? To die from what my family warned me of? But it matters not, if I die I will die finally. I will be allowed an endless sleep instead of a painful awakening or appearing somewhere in the lands without so much as a thought of where I am. Oh God that thought makes me savour the idea of dieing, but then again I have not come here to die. I have come here, to survive. To the promise land of which she spoke. It's only when I notice that I have been ramming my head into a tree that I stop and stare at the surroundings, I don't see much from the gashes now in my head. I suppose that comes as a consequence when you're sanity finally snaps, but a small glimmer of hope tells me that perhaps I will find a few shards of sanity here. Maybe small, but one can hope right? Even when their heart is a festering dead organ.
Not my best Onsoun, but my first time trying him as a Mortal. Onsoun posts are usually much longer but I didn't want to freak Sia or anyone out too much xD @[Sikeax] OPEN as well.
My ears twitch at another voice, and a snort comes from me. I turn my head a bit, green eyes watching them carefully before I bend my head and wipe the blood from my face unto my leg and my eyes narrow slightly. Assessing the one who spoke before finally loosening my tongue. "I don't do pleasantries feathered one, half the time they're complete shit." Whether he likes my tone or not I do not care, but the fact that my head is bleeding is even more of an annoyance than my tone may ever be. At this moment my eyes capture the bird by him who is bright and my mind snaps to the recognition. Fire bird, rare in my lands but annoying. Once again I wipe my face of blood and grunt with displeasure. This time I believe I have clotted it. Though it will leave a scar, just another mark on a torn hide. Perhaps my worst scar is my left cheek where Neph tore the skin. Oh well. "And I doubt I will find pleasant nights until I find a proper place." Shifting my weight I watch his bird friend. I have a deep need to pluck it from him and strip it of feathers, every one of them I have met - granted it only being two, excluding this one - have caused me great annoyance. In the back of my head I search for words Kandra would use, he was the polite and proper one. My conscious, the one who made up for my bastardly ways. But I find nothing other than his constant nagging that I must introduce myself, but how do I do this properly? Do I bow like a gentleman, do I hold my head high as I have, or do I simply wait for his own introduction? No, I will do what I have known for my life. "Onsoun is my name. No nickname, nor do I require one. So feathered ones, what are your names?" I find it hard to say this, because the concern of others has never been a priority of mine meaning I am not sure how to properly interact. But I never have really. And that's fine, because in my book sinners don't require proper interactions. Watching him for too long reminds me of another painted being, though they lacked feathers, that I had met. Of course I didn't know them for long, they had been one who had annoyed me too far and fallen victim. It was her screams of fear that I remember the most, and the sweet relief of my own fears. My fears of being a father, though I do not believe that is what she feared. It is these thoughts that cause me to turn my head away. The last thing I require is fresh blood on my hands, not to mention I do not yearn for a fight right now.
Notes: Sorry for his grumpy nastiness.

He's too nice, too proper, too...mortal. These are my thoughts when he speaks. Midas, fits him. Fina is not a name I expect to be placed on a bird though. My thoughts are what makes me narrow my eyes and watch him carefully. Kindness is often used as a facade, and in this case I can tell if he is genuinely kind or playing tricks. Though I most likely will need my wound tended to I feel my jaw lock. I've never trusted the kindness of others. "No." The word rolls up my neck and slips out between gritted teeth. At the sound of another my ears twitch in severe annoyance, the way a cats tail thrashes back and forth. This one is small than the stallion and is most likely just as kind. But the blue eyes, oh they are so familiar to me. So blue like my own childs and then it clicks as to how I know her, at least I think it clicks. No I know it clicks. And this brings a crack of a smile to my face. "Yes I know who you are child. One always knows their kin, whether they have met or not. Though you do not seem to know or remember me. Although you were young." And to this child I do bow, or at least try one and it is then that I noticed that despite wiping the blood off I didn't clot my head injury. Looking at the two of them I can't help but laugh a bit before looking at Midas with an amused smile. "I might take you up on that healer offer, but as for a home? No, I'm not fit company for the kind." I laugh at my own words. Wouldn't it be ironic and sweet to die from blood loss? I wonder what death from blood loss feels like? No, I'm not bleeding enough to die, but bleeding enough to feel chills on my hide. "You know Sikeax your mother had told me you are training to be a healer" This is my attempt to forge something of a bond with my granddaughter.
Notes: e.o I no like this reply. But Onsoun knows when he's in need of help and is man enough to ask lol xD

For Every Problem There's a Simple Solution Hiding Inside an Efficient System
Are you confused about the next step? The first step?
Do you feel overwhelmed, like you're constantly spinning your wheels and getting nowhere?
You are not alone. These issues and many more plague many of us and the good news is there are simple solutions.
I have spent thousands of dollars over the years to find these answers for myself. I have spent countless hours going through program after program that promised to deliver the goods, only to waste even more time and money ultimately making no progress.
What I discovered is a simple, straightforward system exists. It really does!
If you would like to FINALLY have your own answers required to begin gaining traction, and moving forward then I encourage you to join me. Let's move forward together.
My $5,000 Sink-Hole
I diligently watched 20 hours of videos, worked through seemingly endless worksheets, spent thousands more hiring people to "help" me, invested tens of thousands into an office only to end up sitting in the middle of a mess so far away from what I wanted that I could feel nothing but bitter towards the guy that started me on that process.
you at the center of it all
And if you're not at this point, yet, and you're just starting to build your business then this program will provide you with an invaluable roadmap that creates a strong foundation primed for growth.
This is NOT that.
Now, there is work involved (often inspiring, fun). There is deep introspection involved. But when you've worked your way through this process I guarantee you will feel a huge weight lifted off of you and you'll finally be free to move forward with building the life you've desired.
real, not theory
If you want to know what the best business books have to say then get a subscription to book summaries.
We don't have time for information overload that amounts to a hodge-podge mess you'll never sort out. And who needs to shell out thousands to have someone else summarize $20 books for them?
"The tools are sensible, effective, and a must for any organization, entrepreneur, or leader. I personally use them within my national real estate valuation company and this year we grew 150 percent, after being in business for more than 14 years."
7 sessions
Each session is an hour-long, plus. You will also receive a variety of additional aids, exercises, worksheets and more to guide you each step of the way.
As well, you'll receive my own notes and processes as a case study to help guide you through your process.
Here's Everything We Cover
Session #1 : Getting to Know You
Session #2 : The Vision
Session #3 : The Right People, The Right Seats
Session #4 : Data
Session #5 : Processes
Session #7 : Traction
Session #6 : Issues
"One thing I know for sure, I am more enlightened (aware) about myself than I was before this week!!"
~ Michael S.
"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."
– Aristotle
Session #1 : Getting to Know You
This STARTS by taking a DISC assessment test (free options available). But that's just the beginning. Because DISC is great but we really dive in for a much deeper understanding of what these 4 distinct personality types really look like and how they work together.
Plus, depending on who your customer is you need to customize the colors, language and general vibe you use with them. This is an area of study that's had a radical impact on my life in the past couple years and I think you'll have a lot of fun gaining deeper insight into why you do what you do, why you don't do what you don't do, and who is best to help you move forward.
"This has been really interesting… can't wait for the next webinar!"
~ Tish King
Session #2 : The Vision
In all we address 8 critical questions. Without answering these questions, clearly and concisely, it extremely difficult – if not impossible – to build a business.
But when you've answered these questions then you become a force.
An entrepreneur who can clearly explain where the business is going and how it plans to get there is surprisingly rare but extremely valuable.
"The V/TO was one of the single best selling tools I've ever had with an investor. In a very short period of time, he got what we were about, where we were going and how we planned to get there. It was pretty cool."
Identify the 5 major responsibilities of each role in your company.
Only then can you have clarity around what the right seats on your bus look like and whether you have the right people to fill them.
Session #3 : The Right People, The Right Seats
When I went through this process I was somewhat shocked to see where my business is truly deficient, where I need the most help, and why some of my past partnerships were destined to fail before they began.
Beyond that it's easy to see what's possible, and what's not, if you want to run a one-person business. It's also easy to see what you really love doing and what you should probably be doing more of.
"Great presentation, definitely one that needs to be watched a few times in order to get all the concepts, however its well worth the time to do it."
~ Clint Butler
Session #4 : Data
In this session we talk about putting together a scorecard that tells you, on a weekly basis, whether you're on target or not. And if you're not then you can immediately put your attention on the fix.
With scorecards that provide reliable, meaningful data, you can quickly assess where your business is at and you can make changes that will improve their future progress.
"OK – love the lead indicator focus. Very powerful – and chastening at the same time. Mercilessly highlights the wheel spinning…"
~ Mike Abbott
Make the Most of Your Core Processes
- What outcome do we want to achieve?
- Who can implement it?
- When may they implement it?
- How do we know we achieved the outcome?
- How do we know if it was effective?
- Are there any "next steps" when the outcome is achieved?
Session #5 : Processes
A business is a collection of systems, or processes. Until what you do is consistent and predictable you will have chaos. And with chaos comes stress.
In this session we cover how to identify, document and have others producing the same results you can product – and even better.
Moving from working in your business to working on a business requires clear processes. In this training session you'll also learn how being transparent about the processes you use with your clients and customers is the future of marketing.
"complexity is the enemy. less is more."
Session #6 : Issues
If history teaches us anything, it is that issues are to be expected, not avoided. Every issue is a growth opportunity.
Very detailed approach to getting your organization in order. Step by step and systematic. excellent for small business owners.
Do you have a grip on your business, or does your business have a grip on you?
Session #7 : Traction
Are You Ready for MASSIVE Momentum?!
There's a ton of great information here that, when applied, is exactly what you need to build the business of your dreams. I am super proud of this piece of work because it greatly simplifies and systematizes building the business YOU want to build.
This IS NOT a summary of business books and "sounds good to me" theories that leave you with a pile of rubbish to sort through. This is a clearly defined process used by multi-million dollar companies and I've re-worked it to fit the unique needs and desires of the Internet marketing.
If you're tired of chasing shiny objects and you're ready to build something that works for you, this is the place to get started.
Let's get to work and enter 2019 running!
All the best to you – John

Wide release date: December 5, 2016
Subgenre: Historical fantasy, Greek mythology
About Poseidon and Cleito:
He became a god. Her story was forgotten.
From the shore of a frozen steppe, an outcast hunter embarks for the otherworld to ask his ancestors how to bring the mammoth back to the fields of sedge.
In a shining, island kingdom of wonders, the daughter of a high priest fights for her claim to wealth and power after her father is assassinated by the king.
Together they will build an empire recalled as an ancient legend and a cautionary tale. But how did he become a god while she became a mere footnote in history?
Poseidon & Cleito is the engrossing first book of a fantasy trilogy of myth and legend exploring the rise of the lost civilization of Atlantis. In the best traditions of an epic journey, one man's struggle to discover his place in the world takes him across perilous seas into the epicenter of political strife in a foreign land. But a legend is not made of deeds alone. Fans of Guy Gavriel Kay's historical fantasy and David Gemmell's Troy series will enjoy this fantasy novel as it sets out to reimagine the inception of a Greek myth.
Cleito sat up at the head of her pallet, with her knees drawn to her chest, while the boy lay sleeping. At night, the shadows in her room seemed to collapse around her, threatening to swallow her whole. It was the reason she had taken to sharing her bed with the beekeeper's son from the farm beyond the weedy bluffs that bordered her father's land. Having the boy around made the home feel less empty. It made the night pass quicker. Most nights, after two or three of the boy's eager routs, she had been able to sleep, forgetting.
Moonlight from the room's unshuttered window traced the slumbering body beside her. He took up three-quarters of her straw mattress, and he had not bothered to draw the bed sheet over his rangy body, which was ropey from his labors and browned by the sun. The fresh breeze from the sea did not travel as far inland as the crusty plot where her father had built his three-room farmhouse. At least the room's listless fug kept the boy from throwing an arm around her while he slept.
Cleito tried to make out the tin ring he had given her. She twisted it off her finger, turned it this way and that, and weighed its lightness in her hand.
She had never received a gift of a romantic sort. It had been briefly cheerful until she had realized how pitiful it was. The boy was poor. He must have saved a season's wage to purchase the ring.
Because he thought she was a pathetic, orphaned gosling.
Cleito knew what people had been thinking while they had stolen glances at her during her father's funerary services. She was just a girl. Seventeen years old. Abandoned by her mother. Without her father, how was she to live?
A swoon rocked her. The dizzy rush compacted with sharp edges, and she was all at once awake for the first time in days. She looked at the sleeping boy. A voice as cold as stone rose from her throat.
"Get out."
Her bedmate stirred slightly.
She shrieked at him. "Get out." She beat her fists against his chest. He cowered away, sliding naked across the dirt floor, and she stood and screamed again and again, "Get out."
He backed into the curtain at the doorway and stumbled to his feet. She threw the ring at him. It bounced back from the boy's chest and fell to the floor with a paltry clink. His eyes disbelieving. Her eyes stabbing. Did he think she could be bought with a cheap scrap of metal? Did he think she was a peasant's wife? She, whose mother had been a queen. She, whose father had been chosen by the unnamed martyr to preach the ancient mysteries.
He shoved aside the curtain and fled into the living space. In a breath, the door to the outside of the house slammed behind him.

Ok who had thier hard earned money on Miguel Cotto.....well shame on you, this Welterweight war had Mayweather win all over it surely? Whilst this might be true, the majority of the Boxing world including myself seemed to be backing Cotto to finally knock the king off his thrown.
This was also the vibe that was felt and heard around the MGM grand when both fighters entered the ring, Cotto stayed focused and knew what mamouth task lay ahead of him, Maywether on the other hand was all smiles and was just as relaxed as he has been in all 42 previous matches, the fans were determined that they could give Cotto that extra boost to get the win, but also knowing that this would not bother Mayweather from the moment the opening bell sounded.
Both fighters had a traditional opening round as they felt each other out and exchanged slight blows, as the next few rounds went on Cotto had thrown a lot of punches but found not many were landed with any conviction and it was Mayweather that landed the shots that mattered. Cotto finally started to find his way towards the back end of the fight after soaking up some hard shots from Mayweather, and it was the P4P Champ that found himself having to weave, dodge and duck to make sure the hard shots that Cotto was throwing were not connecting. Some shots did get threw but it never really seemed to take Mayweather out of his stride, as he would cover up and offer shots just has hard in return, (you don't get called the best counter puncher in the buisiness for nothing) and it was the last couple of rounds were Mayweather proved his class, knowing Cotto would have to find that KO punch he made sure he put himself out of harms way and picked off the Puerto Rican with ease. A UD over 12 rounds with 1 Judge scoring the match 118-110 and 2 judges scoring 117-111 left Mayweather adding the WBA Light - Middleweight title to his collection.
It seemed a close Fight at times with Cotto drawing Mayweather in to a toe-to-toe battle and this where he did his most damage but it was always swaying towards Mayweather who again proved why he is the man to beat. 8 belts and $32million later 'Money' Mayweather now looks towards his time in prison and then to his next opponant, Manny Pacquiao.
But when asked about setting up the long awaited encounter with Manny Pacquiao the Champion couldnt confirm anything.
"This was a gruelling fight, i'm going to go home and take some time off and see where we go from here,"
It was recently stated that Mayweather would retire in 2014, which for a boxer of his age says he has just a few more fights left in him, but if the Pacquiao bout does not happen Mayweather is still unsure what direction he would head in,
"There's nobody out there for me. I can't really tell you where my career's going from here. I fought everybody basically. There's nothing but the young, strong pups coming up.

So what was it like on set? The human voice-over cast were a joy to work with. However I have to admit that the Legos themselves were a little demanding at times: not satisfied with the usual personal assistants, crystal healers or deliveries of fresh flowers, Eddie's rider included his own personal fire station, airport and medieval castle.
We Can Get You includes the first intimate scene I have directed: surely an anxious moment for every director? When filming intimate material it's important that your cast have a good working relationship and can trust each other, and to find an opportunity to sit down with them and discuss what they are comfortable with. In the end I needn't have worried: Eddie and Tanya approached the scene with a great deal of professionalism and I think it shows in the final cut.
After firing three voice coaches and a team of body language experts I have concluded that Legos talk with their hands and this cannot be changed. Is this a Danish thing? I have no idea.

How to Choose the Right Dog Breed For You
Are you an active being that looks forward to walking, hiking, running, or cycling? Or are you perhaps more on the couch potato side and a bit allergic to movement? Are you a single person looking for a bit of companionship or are your kids eager to have a dog? Chances are that depending on your answer, you should be matched with different dog breeds that share some traits with you. Choosing a dog needs indeed serious planning and it cannot be emphasized enough the importance of knowing what you get into before falling in love with those pleading eyes asking to be adopted.
Owning a dog is a big responsibility, and if only people would put a bit more effort in choosing wisely, there would be less dogs surrendered in shelters. You should not choose a dog just based on its looks or because it belongs to a breed that was just featured as a main character in the latest Disney movie. Dogs come in different shapes and size, different characters and temperaments so choosing wisely is a must even because most dogs live an average life span of 10 to 12 years.
From the tiniest Chihuahua to the heaviest Saint Bernard, dogs are the most varied species crafted by man found on this planet. With about 400 dog breeds recognized in the world, it is quite understandable for prospective dog owners to feel overwhelmed by the plethora of choices. Narrowing down the breed list by deciding what types of traits you want in your dog may make things much simpler. Following are some considerations that potential dog owners must keep in mind before adopting out a dog.
How to Choose the Right Dog Breed
Do you live in a small condominium or do you own some acreage? Depending on your living quarters, one breed may be better than another one in adapting to your habitat. There are several dog breeds that make good apartment dogs, generally these are dogs that are not high energy, that do not bark too much and that are are friendly. Size really matters when it comes to choosing a dog, and with dog breeds ranging from a couple of pounds to 150 pounds, this is not a light hearted choice.
A coat may not look like a big of a deal until it starts shedding leaving bits of hair here and there on your carpets and upholstery. There are different kinds of coats in dogs: short, curly, wired, fluffy, medium long, long and there are even hairless coats. The choice of the coat is also very important in those subjects that may suffer from allergies. Some coats also require more grooming than others.
Some dogs are natural barkers while some you hardly vocalize. Of course, if you live in an apartment you want to keep a quiet dog that does not disturb people around you. If you are looking for a quiet dog, you should stay away from the hound category as they enjoy baying and the guard category because they like to warn you about intruders.
There are dog breeds that just love everybody while some other breeds may be more on the aloof side. The choice really depends on what tasks you want your dog to accomplish, if your dog must be exposed to people often, you want a friendly dog breed, while if this is a dog that is going to be kept as a watchdog, you want a dog breed that is cautious with strangers. If you have children, you want a very friendly dog breed that has a high tolerance threshold.
Some dogs are high energy breeds such those belonging to the sporting or working group. These are dogs that require lots of exercise and mental stimulation. If you are not ready to provide this, your dog may turn out to be bored an destructive. There are many dog breeds that are more laid back and better suit those that are not too eager of being active. Yet, it is important to note that all dogs require daily walks, both for exercise and discipline purposes.
Do you need a lap dog that will spend a lot of time indoors with you? Or are you looking for a guard dog to keep an eye on your property? Are you looking for a hiking companion or a friendly dog that will play with kids? Your answer to these questions really make a big difference.Think the purpose of your dog and match the dog breeds that better match this purpose.
Some dog breeds are quite submissive while others are more on the dominant side. For this reason some of the more hard headed dog breeds are better for experienced owners capable of providing strong leadership skills. If you are not looking forward to being challenged , it is best to go with dog breeds that are more submissive and mellow. It is important to note however that in every litter of dogs regardless o breeds, there will be submissive and more dominant dogs.
While dogs are highly adaptable, it must be considered that some dogs may do better in cold climates while others can withstand hotter temperatures. Short nosed dog breeds such as Pugs, Boxers and Shih-Tzu may not tolerate well hot temperatures and may be prone to breathing difficulties. Short haired dogs on the other hand may be easier to suffer from frost bite, but these dogs can be helped with a sweater.
As seen, there are a handful of considerations to keep in mind when choosing the dog breed right for you. Do some research, read a lot and don't forget that sometimes the best dog matching your lifestyle and personality may be found at your local shelter.

Hello dear crafty friends! Any crafting lately? I worked on some new post earrings this week (you can see them Here. Also, I decorated my simple and boring hairwraps with some cute crochet beads which I bought awhile ago.
At first, I made a necklace using these green and mustard yellow beads, but I just didn't like it at all. The necklace was sitting in my desk drawer, until two days ago. I took it apart and decided to "transform" the beads into pumpkins and acorns. Then, I attached them to the hair wraps with some cord. I think they turned out great!
One more thing (not related to crafting): take a look at a house on the last 2 pictures. This is a very typical house you can find in Houston's area. We've started looking for houses :) It's time for our "American" dream to come true :). Have a wonderful weekend, everybody. Yours, Oksana.
Partying as usual at these great blogs.
А еще посмотрите на один типовой Техасский домик, и напишите мне что вы про него думаете. Зачем мне это? Это пока секрет. Отличных выходных! Ваша Оксана.
