Anabelle Mooney
New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2005. ISBN-10: 1403942854; ISBN-13: 978-1403942852 (hardcover), $74.95. 224 pages.
Reviewed by Matthew Forester
The Rhetoric of Religious Cults serves as a cult apologia. Annabelle Mooney's central thesis is that the persuasive techniques used by cults are no different than those used by groups accepted by the dominant culture, including anti-cult organizations and corporations. She makes this case by performing careful rhetorical analyses of recruitment texts from the Church of Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses, and The Family and comparing them to literature from anti-cult organizations and from McKinsey & Company, a business consulting corporation. For all these organizations except anti-cult organizations, she chooses specific texts, but she fails to do so with anti-cult groups. During her rhetorical analysis of anti-cult literature, she speaks very generally. On occasion, she does specifically mention aspects of the website of Info-Cult, a cult information organization in Canada.
In the introduction, Mooney explains that her message is important in light of recent legislation in parts of the world regulating the activities of certain groups labeled as cults. She then focuses on recent French legislation in an attempt to dismantle the understanding of the nature of cults that led to this legislation. She takes issue with the problematic identification of groups as cults and the equally problematic determination of "mental manipulation," the controversial wording on which the French law hinges. She believes that laws should focus on individuals and their behaviors irrespective of their involvement with any particular organization. She sees her efforts as an argument for the human rights of cult members.
The book reads very much like a dissertation, with the obligatory first chapter outlining the theoretical approach and placing it in context with the work of other scholars. She draws heavily on Aristotle and some twentieth century rhetorical theorists as well as speech-act theorists, J. L. Austin and John Searle. Speech-act theory maintains that to say something is to do something. Austin and Searle identify three kinds of speech acts: locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. Locutionary acts are the words and sentences in and of themselves apart from any social context. Illocutionary acts are the intentions of the speaker to accomplish something with the words. Perlocutionary acts are the actual effects of the speech act, i.e. what really happens as a result of the statement.
From Aristotle, she invokes his rhetorical canons—memory, invention, arrangement, style, and delivery—and his persuasive appeals—ethos, logos, and pathos. She uses a number of contemporary rhetorical theorists and language philosophers to show how Aristotle's canons have been updated and their relevance preserved. She draws on speech-act theory because of its contention that words have "perlocutionary" effects. That is to say they do things.
The following three chapters then analyze one recruitment text from each of the following groups: the Church of Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses, and The Family. She claims to have chosen these groups because they in particular have received bad press and been targets of unfair lawsuits. She analyzes these three texts in terms of memory, invention, arrangement, style, and delivery. The text she chooses from the Church of Scientology is L. Ron Hubbard's speech, "The Story of Dianetics and Scientology." From the Jehovah's Witnesses, she chooses the pamphlet, A Book for All People. And from The Family, she analyzes their Love Charter, a sort of constitution that outlines their beliefs, structure, membership types, and other central organizing principles.
Her rhetorical analyses are indeed careful, astute, and insightful on the surface. She is careful to underpin her explanation of meanings and assumptions of these texts with well established theory. Her interpretations seem straightforward, fair, and unbiased. In the final chapters, her comparisons of the recruitment texts to the literature from anti-cult organizations and McKinsey & Company seem equally straightforward, fair, and unbiased. What strikes me as very odd, however, is the departure from the parallel structure when she analyzes the anti-cult organization recruitment texts. She doesn't focus specifically on any one organization nor on any one text as she does with the other organizations. She specifically mentions the website of Info-Cult on occasion to illustrate certain points, but she speaks very generally for the most part in this section. Nonetheless, her conclusion clearly expresses that cult language is, indeed, not distinctive, and if the label "cult" is to be used at all, it should be used evenly to apply to other organizations who use similar recruitment strategies.
In spite of her excellent surface analyses of the texts, I take issue with certain conclusions drawn from them. First of all, in one of the final chapters, she takes on the challenging work of defining a cult. Most scholars who study cults have agreed that the definition is problematic, and as many who write about cults have acknowledged, the best we can do is come up with some general characteristics. But in my estimation, Mooney leaves some very important general characteristics out. To quote directly from the book, she establishes these characteristics:
If we use only these general characteristics to establish what cults are, it is clear that many organizations that don't share the label could be identified as such. In my estimation, however, the characteristics she has chosen are incomplete, and in fact, self-serving. Many social scientists have ascribed other important characteristics such as withholding important information about the central beliefs and expectations in initial recruitment efforts. That is, deliberately obscuring important information that the recruits would more likely reject initially. For instance, the text analyzed from the Church of Scientology says nothing about the fact that the member will eventually be expected to accept that he or she is in fact a "thetan" who has lived in other bodies at other times and will have to be "cleared" of any "engrams" they might have accrued along the way, and that they will have to pay for each "clearing" session. Not surprisingly, Mooney never mentions this either. She also eschews the characteristic that cults are totalizing; they not only "distinguish between us and them," but they, in fact, demonize everyone outside the group. I teach at the University of Florida, and I am a proud Gator fan. That does not mean, however, that I believe every Florida State fan is a satanic pawn who wants to lead me astray. In short, Mooney minimizes the characteristics she lists in order to force them to apply to other acceptable, benign groups. The differences are, in these cases, ones of degree and not of kind.
Still another very sad implication of Mooney's take on cults is that she ignores the fact that these people raise children. To grow up thinking you are specially chosen by God and anyone outside the group is a satanic pawn who wants to lead you astray, as many children of Jehovah's Witnesses claim to have been taught, creates psychological discord and pain for those children who come to believe later that those claims are hogwash and that their entire identity and worldview were lies foisted upon their parents by clever religious entrepreneurs. I doubt seriously that the children of employees of McKinsey and Company feel so betrayed. This is, of course, speculation on my part.
In spite of these shortcomings in her analyses, I have to say that I think there is an important message that Anabelle Mooney makes, a reminder that might serve us all well who champion human rights and freedom. That message is that we have to be very careful that we don't villainize people or groups of people who share beliefs different from our own, just because they are different from our own. This admonition is the strength of her argument and one that I think deserves careful attention.

In a matter of time,
There'll be a friend of mine
Gonna come to the coast,
You're gonna see him
Up close for a minute or two
While the ground cracks under you.
By the look in your eyes
You'd think that it was a surprise
But you seem to forget
Something somebody said
About the bubbles in the sea
And an ocean full of trees.
And you now, L.A.
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog.
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Well, it's hard to believe
So you get up to leave
And you laugh at the door
That you heard it all before
Oh it's so good to know
That it's all just a show for you.
But when the suppers are planned
And the freeways are crammed
And the mountains erupt
And the valley is sucked
Into cracks in the earth
Will I finally be heard by you.
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog.
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark's "So In Love"
I still couldn't believe it when I got into James Barron's hot 80s pick up truck last winter and OMD's "Electricity" was playing. It's just kind of unlike him to be playing it, I guess. Rather my impression of him wouldn't be playing that song in his truck, anyway. I have little to say about "Electricity" because it's not one of OMD's better songs – it's cute and kitchy but after awhile it grates.
"So In Love" is endearing. Whenever I become disillusioned with a crush/significant other I tend to rush into this song. It's nearly perfect for feeling like, "Dude. I was so blinded that I didn't see you aren't perfect and are not only flawed but I've realized that you're kind of fucked up."
Except OMD put it more eloquently by singing:
I was so impressed by you/I was running blind/I would fall for every trick/Every twist of mind... It's hard to believe/I was so in love with you... You were so in awe of me/You were so divine/You would do just anything/To still be mine...All the things you said to me/I was so obsessed/You were always talking talking/God I did my best
And with the sweet falsetto of a chorus, this song is separation perfection; A must for any break-up mix – along with select track's off of Lush's "Lovelife" album and Beyonce's "Me, Myself, & I"

You know we were talking about how important it is to study Buddhism, specially today. Buddha Shakyamuni said, that everything is matter of conditioning. And I believe education is one of the most crucial conditioning. It is the education that will make the difference in the future. And I believe that if today's education system does have even a scant of Buddhist influence it will make a big difference in the world. Imagine a member of a senate in the United States government, someone who has, maybe not really a practicing Buddhist but someone who has quite a good knowledge on interdependent reality. Someone who has quite a good understanding on cause, conditions and consequences. I think there will be some difference. Imagine a CEO of an American automobile association. Having little bit of influence of the Buddhist education. I think it will make a big difference.

I've shared a few photos from this series already – but I really wanted to take some time to share the story behind one of my favorites, and for the photographers out there, a little bit about how it was shot, and what the lighting for the shoot was.
The goal for this shoot was to take local Spartan Race elite, Andrew Hostetler, and get him some great photos to use in his application for the elite entry of (the aptly named) Epic Racing Arena. We wanted trail running, portraits, mountain and outdoors and heavy things being carried.
Primarily, I was shooting with my Canon 7D body, and a combination of 70-200 f/4 and the new 40mm f/2.8 lens. The photo I'm going to be sharing here was shot on the super sharp, relatively bargain priced 70-200 f/4, which you can pick up for around $500 and is a STEAL, if you ask me! I was shooting with available lighting – this means I was using the light available too me, which was a combination of the sun, filtered through the trees, and up to three Canon 580 EXII speedlites. This was not a time to try and shoot with with nothing but the ambient sunlight – it was coming through some heavy tree cover, which would have left a dabbled, spotty lighting pattern that would have sucked.
This is the shot we'll be talking about today – we'll cover how it was setup and how it was lit.
This particular photo was shot later in the day – we'd already been up the mountain and down the mountain, and we were thinking of wrapping up for the day – I realized we hadn't really lifted any "heavy sh*t" yet, and whats more Spartan Race than picking up heavy things for no real reason? Andrew found a handy rock, picked it up and hefted it to his shoulder – where I promptly made him wait while I get the lights setup As you can see, he was already dirty – no makeup needed here! After a little guidance to get his pose right, and get more of his arm in the shot, we took a few frames.
This was a relatively simple one to light -
Camera position was at a good distance from Andrew – I wanted to make sure he was nice and sharp, but the background trees were blurred and pretty.
My main light was a single 580 EXII in a Westcott Apollo Orb – a 43″ roundish softbox. This was positioned just in front of Andrew, pointing backwards of him a little – I wanted to catch him with the rim of the light, not the full on panel. I love this modifier – it's big, but collapses down to a nice size, and can take one, two or three speedlites easily if I need more power.
My secondary light was a 580 EXII, Totally bare, no modifiers – I wanted the back/side lighting to be hard and harsh.
All the speedlites were shot on ETTL – I had +1 compensation for some of the shots, but this, with it's wide open aperture, didn't need it. I was triggering my main light using a 24′ ETTL cable from Flashzebra. The second light was triggered with the built in wireless system – line of site was no issue here. Personally, I love ETTL – it saves a lot of time, especially when you're setting up on a trail full of hikers and spectators, or fighting off mosquitoes!
Note: I think it's interesting that you can tell, so easily, how different a modified speedlite (in the Orb) is, compared to the unmodified speedlite (the rim) – both on the same power. The harder, edgier, brighter lights on the side with the rock give this that gritty feel that was part of our remit, while the main subject of the photo, Andrew, is lit nice and evenly from the big Orb.
So, there you have it – a bit of a how-to lighting diagrammed, behind the scenes of what ended up being a really neat shoot that got some great end results – huge thanks to Andrew for helping me out, and good luck to him on his application to Epic racing!

Much depends upon the real estate market. In hot home selling seasons, nearly anyone can hammer a for-sale sign in the yard and attract offers.
In buyer's markets, you'll find fewer buyers, that makes a realtor's services worth more. If you do not hire an agent, you might be losing coverage to 80% of the purchasing population. Listing agents add value to every transaction. Unless of course you regularly attend every open house in your area, you might not possess intimate info regarding the inside of your neighboring houses nor know why some sold for greater costs than others. Experienced agents have the knowledge and utilize it to position your home to sell at the greatest possible cost.
Top Oklahoma City broker companies can offer the following realtor services:
High-end marketing materials with proven sales strategies
Professional virtual tours and photography
Wide Internet exposure to all home marketplaces (such as zillow, trulia, etc)
Promotion at business meetings and MLS listings
Networking with fellow realtors & broker houses
Price assistance relating to market information and latest sales history
Home stagers
Inspector and restoration company recommendations
Buyer feedback and private screenings
Confirmation of prospective buyer qualifications
Counter offer and negotiation experience
Buyer's Agents work with the buyer and Not the Seller.
Here are a number of the services you may expect to get from the buyer's agent that you may not be capable to obtain on one's own. Aside from hearing about the listings before houses are accessible to the public, brokers may:
Provide equivalent sales from the tax rolls
Provide sales information from MLS dependent on map searches
Pull property profiles highlighting sales history, property information, demographics and neighborhoods
Get a copy of the home historic documents
Run reports on listing broker list cost to sales price ratios
Calculate yearly details and developments about a place
Suggest pricing approach
Review of paperwork for loopholes and acquire disclosures
Provides a barrier between you and the vendor broker
Don't keep yourself guessing and losing out on potential profits and overall better deals. Get yourself a real estate expert with extensive knowledge of Oklahoma City's housing market.

WORLD leaders gathered in Gleneagles last night ahead of the G8 summit for dinner with the Queen amid protests which saw running battles with police.
At one point protesters breached the security fences surrounding the heads of state and government before being driven back by police who swooped in on Chinook helicopters.
The eight principal players were having a formal banquet hosted by the Queen before the tough negotiations begin today on tackling climate change.
They will go on to discuss a strategy to lift Africa out of poverty on Friday, the last day of the gathering.
Alongside those twin priorities of Prime Minister Tony Blair, the eight will also discuss worries over nuclear programmes in Iran and North Korea and the Middle East peace process.
Anti-poverty campaigners Bob Geldof and U2 star Bono urged Mr Blair not to let up in his drive to double aid for Africa. Geldof told him: "This is the moment."
Mr Blair said he wanted to "put together a package that will allow us to put this whole issue in a different place".
He added: "It won't make poverty history overnight, but allows us to claim plausibly that we can do that in the coming years."
On the protests, which saw pitched battles with police in Stirling as protesters wielded iron bars, the Prime Minister said: "You will see a few people beating up cars and people behaving in a way that's nothing to do with the millions of people, decent people, who want to make their protests in a law-abiding way."
French president Jacques Chirac was the last of the eight leaders to arrive - joining colleagues from the US, Canada, Italy, France, Germany and Japan. Leaders from five emerging economies - China, India, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa - are also attending the summit.
On the thorny issue of climate change, Mr Blair is confident he can reach an agreement including US President George Bush, which will by-pass any disagreement over the science of global warming and set a clear goal of reducing greenhouse gases.
The European Union gave the summit an early boost with a pledge of more "aid for trade" help to developing countries.
Brussels already spends about 700 million euros (£474 million) a year on this type of aid - money spent on a range of activities, including help in meeting European health and technical requirements and port handling facilities.
European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso told a Gleneagles press conference this sum would be increased to around one billion euros a year.
Meanwhile, Manchester fair trade campaigners won the ear of EU trade commissioner Peter Mandelson ahead of of the G8 summit.
Development crusaders, led by Dave Pearce, 63, of Gatley, spent half an hour grilling the ex-cabinet minister at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh after months of asking for an interview. Peter Mandelson is doing vital behind the scenes work for the conference.
The campaigners urged Mr Mandelson to commit to ending export subsidies - which they claim are unfairly tilted against poor countries, and to work towards debt cancellation for poor nations.
Dave said: "As trade commissioner for the EU, Mandelson is the second most influential person in the World Trade Organisation. We wanted to meet him face to face to get our message across."

Title of Bulletin Board: Count Down to the District Track Meet
Category: Sports
Suggested Grade Level: 3-5
Materials: construction paper, clipart, microsoft word, border
We host a District track meet for our 4th and 5th graders every year. I put this board up during our training. I've included a track with some runners on it plus each event with a picture. The pictures of the events help the students understand what the event looks like (many have no idea what a shot putt is for example). I refer to the board often to reinforce an event. For example, I was teaching the 4X100 relay. We went to the board and I showed the kids where they would stand to receive the baton in the relay. This visual help tremendously!

NEC PowerMate Eco Computer
Our pals at MetaEfficient turned us on to this. It's the NEC PowerMate Eco, and it's processor runs cool, so it requires no fan; has low power consumption; and has no bulky boxes housing its components. It's simply screen, monitor, mouse, nice and clean-like. It's also one of few PCs to address recycling: the flat screen doesn't contain boron, and uses lead-free solder, which protects both ground water and people reclaiming parts after disposal. Plus, NEC's proprietary plastic is fully recyclable and uses nontoxic flame retardant. $1,600. ::NEC

An adequate park for those wanting to explore Lincoln land, mostly given over to seasonal pipeline workers. The guy next to us had his car hood up and his gas tank removed all day. The park needs an overall cleanup/raking. Bath house was old and dark, but clean and functional. CATV excellent. - ebdavis

Getting to the fairgrounds is pretty easy, and access to the parking lot (which is where you hookup) is easy too. (When the sign points to the office, turn that way then keep going up the hill.) The office people were friendly and helpful. I was told that 100 of the 300 sites are full-hookup, but only about 1/3rd of those FHUs are relatively flat... those spots, as you'd expect, are taken first. We could have squeezed between two very close spots in the flat area, but opted to go to the parking-lot-on-a-slope, and work on leveling our rig. I was also told that certain times of the year, the place is truly packed, so always call ahead. RVs back in (you could go in front first, I suppose) and all hookups at at the back, so the sewer run is long. Good cell signal. We didn't use the restroom/showers. Great value for FHU. - RobtL
Jul 2018 - $20.00
The park is very convenient to all the historic sites. The staff is friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are old. It's basically a parking lot. You have an area on asphalt and half of them have sewer. On top of the hill is the grass sites, with no sewer. The asphalt sites, you are on top of your neighbors. It's an equestrian park so there is a lot of horse trailers. All back-in spots but long enough for any size rig. - sflabrkr
Jun 2018 - $20.00
Great stay. We were here 4 days with 50amp FHU. Parking Lot type setting. The non sewer sites are all in grass areas. A lot of nice grass play area or areas to walk your dogs. Normally $25. if you are 60+ or Active Military/Vet you get a $5 per day discount. Weekly & Monthly are cheap too. I would/will stay again if in the area. The Host every night built a really neat giant bon fire at the office. Plenty of room between RV's. Trash Cans & dumpsters all over, so everything is very clean. - Victoria Grace

This park has a lot of potential, but it needs better care. We stayed here for two days to explore the nearby Lincoln sites. The men's bathrooms were filthy. We felt sorry for the tent campers. They had to use them. We did not get a sewer connection, so we had to use the showers. The showers were clean, but the ventilation had much to be desired. People living in the park should also clean up their sites. Some had trash bags outside for two days. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful, and the park is convenient to shopping, restaurants and sightseeing. The roads could also use some TLC. - On road less traveled

Grass, very unlevel, couldn't even get slides out on fronts. - Never Lost
May 2015 - $25.00
The man who checked us in was very friendly. The campground was grassy and treed with gravel parking spots that were not very level. The sites were close together and most of the other RVs were very old and in bad shape. The campground was bordered with a run-down mobile home park which was not separated by a fence. A train track runs close to the park and a train can be heard several times per day. The roads were full of potholes. But it was an okay park for the price considering we had sewer at our site in addition to water and electricity. - mountainfan

This park is hard to get to. And I don't mean a little hard. The small short narrow creek bridge to get to it (the only way in our out) is a test of your grit to cross it. From my place in the driver's seat the first time it was not fun. But the park is fine. WiFi and Cell coverage is not good. This is a very quiet park. It is in a very nice residential area, but on a very large piece of property so you will think you are in the woods. - RFCN2

This KOA is 3 miles east of I-55 but feels much further due to all the turns it takes to get here. We liked that because it felt very remote while being convenient to all the Lincoln historic sites. Nice pool, mini golf, bounce pad, banana bikes and play ground make it a nice family park. Lots of shade and adequately sized sites. They were pouring concrete patios to create some new "deluxe" sites and were planning on bringing in patio swings for these sites as well. - jjones5996

This is a really nice campground! Lots of space for big rigs and others, but shaded and private. The pool, mini golf, and numerous games and fields offer a lot to do. Everything is very well maintained. Service is prompt and excellent. Wifi is great for a campground. Restrooms are clean and nice. There is even a long, wooded walking trail around the campground. The gravel on the driveway is packed with rounded stones that don't track into your RV. They have all the bases covered whether you're looking for staying for an extended period or one night stop-over. This is conveniently located off Rt 55 just south of the city with easy access to attractions and shopping. - EVO_Bob

This park is great - even though it is next to I-55, traffic noise is minimal, probably because of all the trees in the park. They have a great playground area for kids. My husband was impressed with the lady at check-in. She gave him all sorts of information about local sights, directions, parking, etc. We would highly recommend this RV park. - elfforty

Very nice campground, pull through for our 41 MC plus toad was fine, much of the CG is wooded while the back is fairly open. Hard gravel sites and level. All hook up worked fine. We did not use any of the amenities such as pool or bathrooms. Pool looked very nice and crowded with lots of kids on a very hot day. Area is pretty dark after sunset. - Chef40

Great setting in the woods, not on the lake ,cant even see it.Only electric hook up,no WiFi,no OAT TV,no T Mobile cell service. Showers were closed,told us to use others over a mile away. Planned a 4 day stop here,but after they offered us a 120.00 fine for our cat being outside we left,yes I know there are leash rules. We have been full time for 2 years and have never had a problem with our cat till now. No Office have to find the host. - Donny and Donna

The Hickory campground was a great place to stay, very clean and well kept, and a beautiful setting right on the lake. The sites were level (all back-in), spacious and most were shaded from the afternoon sun. The staff was very friendly and helpful .... we mistakenly arrived at the another campground, and they led us over to Hickory. BTW, the other has no lake view, no flush plumbing, and no showers, so be careful which one you stay at. - Snowbirds34

Park was clean, nicely kept with paved interior roads super for biking.

Very clean showers although dated. Very level sites with good electric. Some in our group had difficulty with the 30 amp. Needed to use 50 with a 30 adapter.

New Salem Village was very interesting although there was only one busy volunteer who gave a good background on the village. Paved drives that made a nice thing for walkers. - Oldbug76

The park is dated, could definitely use some updates - but then Illinois is broke so doubt they are putting $$ into their parks. We had issues with the 30 amp electrical. Illinois doesn't refund at state parks, so we were without power for two nights. The host was very helpful on day 3 and suggested plugging into a 50 amp with a 30 amp adapter - that worked! Something with the 30 amp ground. (Wonder if this is common at this park as two other RVs had the same problem.) - Med

City is actually Jeisey, not Kincaid. Lots of space and large lots designed as a place for mobiles, their RV rentals are mostly long term. Nice lady owns the park. Free washer and dryer but no WiFi or cable TV. There are spaces with phone hook-ups. Near Springfield and Taylorville for doing genealogy stuff. - PDDeen

There have been some pretty great-looking games that have never seen the light of day, and another project to throw into that pile is Damage Inc.: Metallica, a cancelled game which starred and was inspired by the iconic rock group.
Sitting somewhere between Twisted Metal and Grand Theft Auto, Damage Inc. was designed to be a vehicular combat game with elements of on-foot roaming, where players could use their tools of destruction to wreck havoc in a post-apocalyptic world.
After years of development and the game being scrapped (and completely unknown to the general public), a video has surfaced showing the game in action, some artwork, as well as its initial trailer.
Vivendi Universal was set to publish the game, however it's believed that the company was looking for a reason to drop the game, and also cites licensing issues as a major reason why the game was never released.
Check out the video below:

Many people get the two concepts between financial freedom and retirement mixed up. While the two could mean the same thing, this is necessarily always the case. In this article we'll go through the difference of the two and the difference between a depleting and non-depleting investment portfolio.
Financial Freedom Definition
At Freedom Nova, we define financial freedom when all of your passive income exceeds your necessary bills whereby you won't need to work a single minute at least actively. You have an investment portfolio, regardless of the contents, that provide you passive income that you barely have to put time into (hence the freedom) that will pay for all your expenses.
Because all of your expenses are paid for, if you reach financial freedom, you could essentially "retire" from work and not have to worry about money. This is the key with financial freedom, the fact that all your expenses are taken care of and that you can officially not work and still live comfortably.
Retirement definition
Retirement can mean many things. When you have put in your time at your job and you hit a set age, say 65 you retire from work and you don't have to work another day in your life if you don't choose to. However, if you aren't financially stable or haven't saved/invested enough during your working years you might have to either continue working (at a job that pays less) or lower your living standards which obviously isn't ideal.
This is the biggest difference between those that are financially free and those that are in retirement. While financial freedom can mean retirement, the reverse isn't always true. Many people are retired but aren't able to afford the lifestyle that they once enjoyed because they didn't put enough money away even including their pension income.
The depleting and non-depleting investment portfolios
When I say depleting I mean that as you make a withdrawal from your investment portfolio, you're eating into the principal of the investment portfolio (the value of the portfolio decreases with each withdrawal). This means that you essentially have a time limit on your investment portfolio since you will eventually deplete all of the funds from your portfolio. If you have calculated your life expectancy and planned your investment portfolio so that you enough funds to live up to 85 then you're ok until then but are in trouble beyond that.
I'm not a huge fan of depleting portfolios but many financial institutions use this number because it's much easier to achieve than a non-depleting portfolio. Yes, you might be financially free or at least financially stress free until your life expectancy comes up but once you hit that date, you could be trouble.
With a non-depleting investment portfolio, you live strictly off of the income that the investment portfolio produces. So if you have a $1 million portfolio and have a 4% passive income from the portfolio in the form of dividends and interest, you're getting a $40,000 passive income source from that portfolio. Let' say that you're in the 20% tax bracket and therefore have an after-tax income of $32,000. If you can live off $2,666.67 per month then you're completely financially free and aren't depleting the funds in your account and the $1 million portfolio would theoretically stay in tact forever, that means you could leave money for your loved ones or leave a legacy by donating some of the funds when your time to move on comes.
If you don't know how much or how long it will take you to reach financial freedom, trying using Freedom Nova's financial freedom simulator to find out!
Why is this important?
It's important for a couple of reasons. First, it determines how hard it is to reach your ultimate goal of financial freedom. Second, you can decide if you want to leave anything behind for your loved ones or for good causes.
The difficulty of reaching financial freedom
No one said this ultimate goal was going to be easy. In fact, it takes a lot of work, time, dedication, and discipline to achieve. If you've used the financial freedom simulator then you know that if could take you 30-40 years depending on how much you put away, how much you need and the level of risk you're willing to take.
But it's a goal worth striving for. Imagine not having to worry about money any more. You can dedicate your time and mental well being on other important matters in life like family or experiencing new things. By having a non-depleting investment portfolio, it gives you the freedom to do as you please because you have much more breathing room compared to a depleting portfolio.
The reality is you can be somewhere in-between a depleting and a non-depleting portfolio by choosing to take some extra funds out of the portfolio if you need to.
Leaving something for the future generation
If you choose a non-depleting investment portfolio, you're leaving a legacy behind that can help people whether if it's your loved ones or through charitable donations. We all have our own reasons and differences in what we believe in. But this is a way to make an immense difference in the lives of many.
I hope this article cleared up the difference between retirement and financial freedom as well as depleting a non-depleting portfolio. You may or may not find these terms used elsewhere I just thought this specific vocabulary would make it easy to understand.
If you haven't already please be sure to use the financial freedom simulator to see how much and how long it will take you to reach financial freedom!

Hi, I'm Liz, your friendly neighborhood mad-woman. I am constantly stressed, like you have NO idea. If there were such a thing as a "stress off", I would win hands down. Having to constantly juggle band, AP classes, deadlines and blah blah blah, can be more than a bit overwhelming. Besides that, I'd say I'm a pretty cool person. I love froot loops, dogs, coffee mugs, back to school shopping, and all things caramel. If you've met me, you already know this, but for those who haven't, when I get into something, I get OBSESSED. Remember Michael Jackson? Obsessed. Justin Bieber? Obsessed. One Direction? Obsessed. And don't even get me started on Spider-Man; I could go on and on about the web-slinging superhero. Anyway, I am an aspiring writer always looking for ways to get my work out there; even if it's through cheesy fan-fiction. I have been playing clarinet for 5 years and I am the Clarinet Section Leader this year. My goal is to have the same skill level as Ahyeon Ko by senior year. I have two sisters and two dogs, both of which I unconditionally love. I love Jesus, Bob's Burgers, old sitcoms from the 60s like I Love Lucy, and any song by the Jonas Brothers. Fun fact: I used to play volleyball for 8 years and then dropped it for band because.. dedication. Oh, and by the way, marching band is a sport. Liz out.

Health is a state of complete bodily, psychological and social well-being, and never merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Whether or not it's a must to gain or lose some weight depends on the results of your individual BMI calculation. Within the above example, the person is slightly overweight. Difficulty reading – eye muscle tissue begin to weaken from the age of 45. It is a pure ageing process of the eye that happens to us all. By the point you're 60, you'll most likely need separate reading glasses or an addition to your prescription lenses (bifocals or varifocals).
I additionally recommend that you just take a multi-vitamin every day to ensure you are getting all the nutritional vitamins and minerals your physique needs. Health care is conventionally thought to be an necessary determinant in promoting the general health and wellbeing of peoples world wide. An instance of this is the worldwide eradication of smallpox in 1980—declared by the WHO as the first illness in human historical past to be utterly eliminated by deliberate health care interventions.
I've a mission that I am simply now running on, and I have been at the glance out for such data. Welcome to Health & Wellness. I'm so thrilled that you just came by to see about your health! The uncomfortable side effects differ relying on the approach to life and health of the person and will be minimized so long as one consults the doctor and follows the prescribed dosage when utilizing it. Do not make your decision on New Year's Eve. If you happen to wait until the final minute, it is going to be based in your mindset that exact day. As an alternative, it should be planned nicely earlier than December 31 arrives.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the nation,
Not a creature had true healthcare, except the richest in station.
The wealthy were planning, all smug and all flush,
For the days of their future, and their settings most plush.
Other children of poor folks were weary of hearing the fights.
No sugar plum fairies in poor neighborhoods tonight,
Dad in his sweatshirt, and I in my cap,
Had just checked the bank balance and prepared for a nap.
When out in the yard there arose such a clatter,
We wondered aloud if our efforts would matter.
I jumped from the bed to see what the noise was,
And I silently prayed Christmas hopes would not shatter.
But nothing I asked would change the dim truth,
Not even the fresh snow, on the weather-worn roof.
No healthcare, no income, no hope to save the house,
No lay-away Santa, no holiday open house.
But what would to my wondering eyes now appear,
To change the reality or to lessen my fears,
Was it a gathering of other folks fighting for peace,
And a score of neighbors adding wishes for relief?
More powerful than billionaires they came,
And they knew, we all were the rich's fodder, just a rich Christmas brew.
"Now, Obama. Now, Congress! Now, Wall Street and now bankers!
"it's always the profits for which you all hanker."
But a dream it was, nothing but a progressive's bone,
I rode to the top of the housetop alone,
And wondered if I ought fall instead of seeking a loan.
With the sleigh full of toys, is St. Nick just a joke?
Meant for rich kids and parents with credit card notes.
And then, in a twinkling, I hoped to hear something,
I drew my head around and heard nothing new,
My prayers went unanswered and my hopelessness grew.
I begged at the food bank, I groveled at the thrift shop,
I even was selected for a free turkey and some Stove Top.
How I wanted to turn back the clock to September,
And find money and presents for the kids to remember.
What about the heroes, the 9/11 workers,
Surely the Senate won't leave them out cold,
But the truth is that many have forgotten them, I'm told.
No peace-groupies gather to help their plight,
It's easier to argue for those far away,
Than to stand up and fight for your neighbors today.
But I am SiCKO, I said, to Santa and friends,
I am SiCKO and most think I'd be better off dead.
No one laughed, instead they thought me crazy and stupid,
I wondered in silence if I could just slip away –
But the demands and the options were holding me tight,
It's Christmas and no time for weakness tonight.
I shook, when I laughed just to add to the moment.
But I was frightened and feverish and out of new comments.
There is no dreaming of a Santa-led sleigh,
Not in many a damaged American's Christmas day.
No one has money or no one will give,
Many are selfish and judging if others might live.
So ride away Santa, go on down the street,
Find the CEOs and their children where the entitled people meet.
For now I'll keep working and praying and demanding the right,
To see a doctor when sick and to rest at night.
If a few of the self-righteous would come down to earth,
And stop pretending to believe in a distant Savior's birth,
Perhaps we might exclaim as we huddled together,
We can never claim Christmas on the backs of the poor,
Nor can we hope for some Santa to knock on our door.
Fight onward, brave souls, fight onward today.
Christmas won't matter much if we give our power away.
"Happy Christmas to all rich folk, and to all a good-night."

Police: Man fired shots at pregnant girlfriend
DES MOINES, Iowa —

He then went into a home and came out with a handgun, firing several shots at the vehicle she was fleeing in, said the police report.
Police found four bullet casings at the scene.
Doss was later charged and sent to the Polk County Jail.

LU is on something of an app binge at the moment, rolling out new apps for rostering and coverage, and signing contractors onto stations.
There have been many hiccups, and the launch of the "Rostering and Coverage Tool" (RCT) app has been put back twice.
An app that makes it easier for staff to swap shifts and annual leave allocations would be very welcome. One that appears to have the ability to monitor and police staff movement, as this app appears to, less so.
LU says there are no plans to link the RCT app to payroll, or to make it GPS-enabled, but unions will need to remain vigilant to ensure it doesn't become a modern equivalent of the "time and motion man".
As for the new app for booking on contractors, this seems like a case of "fixing" something that wasn't really broken. Tubeworker is all for technological progress and going "paperless" wherever that makes sense, but the new system which allows CSAs to book on certain visitors (such as buskers) without the need for a supervisor seems to us to be a pretext for further job cuts in the future.
It seems increasingly clear that LU's ideal vision is for a single grade of station worker, armed with an iPad, capable of performing all the tasks required on the station. We wouldn't have a problem with this if a) there were sufficient numbers of them and b) salaries were levelled up. Somehow, though, we doubt this is what LU has in mind...

|Why Linux?
Why we chose to use Linux
The EngSoc project started as a vision to to provide UNIX accounts to undergraduate engineering students at Carleton. This vision became reality with the help of a group of dedicated and enthiusiastic students who volunteered and are volunteering their time to learn about and set-up such a system. EngSoc relied on loaned hardware to get off its feet and only recently acquired more suitable machines. Therefore EngSoc doesn't have any sort of reliable, external funding. The logical thing to do was to use a freely available unix variant or at least, a low cost one, that would run on the loaned hardware, 486DX at the time, ca. 1995. The choices then included 386BSD, FreeBSD, and Linux. Linux was chosen as it was widely used around the world and well supported. There were already systems on campus successfully running Linux reporting performance comparable to or better than higher-end setups. It seemed appropriate with students offering their free time to volunteer to help bring all this to reality and that ultimately providing undergraduate students with free accounts, that a freely available package such as Linux was used.
"Cooperation. That's what it's all about. Linux is free -- meant in the sense of both costlessness and liberty -- and this freedom fosters positive interaction between programmers who have the shared dream of a complete, working UNIX clone. Ask any developer why they spend hour upon hour on the self-described timesink known as Linux, and they'll give you the same answer: hack value, pure and simple."

The pair are joined on the show by celebrity judges Nicole Scherzinger, Katy Perry and Pixie Lott. Cowell said that Walsh made a beeline straight for Scherzinger when she appeared on the show.
"Louis around Nicole was just like a little puppy who's got their first toy to play with and won't leave it alone. He just kept looking at her. Wherever she went he just stared at her…At lunchtime he was running around getting her things to eat and drink. He even made her fish and chips. He was actually cooking for her! If he could have literally could have laid down on her lap he would have."
Cowell added "We had to intervene a couple of times just to tell him to leave her alone. I think Nicole was amused but the two of them did get on very well, very quickly."
