Astral projection is the act of separating the astral body from the physical body. Normally this occurs as part of the sleep process, usually at the deepest dream level. It also can occur in a trance state. When the person is conscious of this separation it is called conscious astral projection. The separation also is called Etheric Projection or Out-of-the-Body Traveling. To be conscious of this act or event is a highly sought after goal in neo-Paganism.
Astral projection is a method which makes you experience something beyond your physical existence. During this process you reach a stage where you get an out of body experience and visit places which are not able to see even in the widest of your dreams.
Through conscious astral projection one is able to remember events occurring during an astral journey. On such journeys the conscious mind traveling within the astral body can explore not only various earthly places, but also different realms within other dimensions. The conscious astral projection can be induced through deep meditative states. Some individuals exit their bodies from the solar plexus area, while others leave from the third eye(see Chakras, particularly the crown), or simply discover themselves looking down from above at their physical body.The experience of traveling while in this astral state can be accomplished by methods such as a dream-like flight or by visualizating the destination that the individual wishes to visit.
To start with astral projection you need to relax your mind and body. You can meditate or even perform deep breaths. You should take deep breaths very slowly and also ensure that you inhale deeply and your breaths should not become shallow.
It would be better for you if you can imply some meditation to relax your body. However if you are not able to do meditation you should try tensing your muscles and releasing them at the same time. Just remember that you need to work from head to toes.
Try to reach a hypnotic state
Once you are relaxed you should try getting into a hypnotic state. In this stage you almost feel like sleeping or you may feel intoxicated. You need to lie down and focus on the object. You should continue to look at the object until you are able to see it even with closed eyes.
Witness a deeper state of relaxation
Now you must try to enter a deeper state as far as relaxation is concerned. At this stage your eyes are still not open and you are able to see the object which you have chosen. Now you should look around you but with your eyes still closed. From here you will get into the darkness.
After some time you can see patterns of light moving in front of your eyes. You can just avoid these pattern and they will go on their own. If you are no longer able to see them you have reached the deeper state of relaxation and calmness. You will be surprised that you will get so much relaxation that you would not be aware of your body.
Get to the state of vibration
This step is considered to be the most important in astral projection. However it might take longer to perform this step if you are new. As soon as you feel the vibrations it is an indication that your astral body has begun to move out of your physical body. You need to accept this fact and get the vibration.
Try to control the vibrations
You should look for the vibrations while you see them travelling inside your entire body. Now you need to control them with your mind. You should also try to take control of the behaviour of waves and try to stop as well as start them. Once you have mastered the art of changing the frequency and you are sure that you can adapt them you can move to the next step.
Imagine the rope
This stage will put your control and will power to testing. You can imagine a rope hanging above you. You should imagine yourself reaching towards the rope without opening your eyes.
Once you are able to hold the rope you should get your hand back into your body and try to slow down the vibrations. Now you can end the session.
Once you have reached this stage you have done the partial separation of your body and now you need to try the same method with your entire body. You should ideally repeat all the above steps but ensure that you should not stop at one hand. Now you should imagine your second hand coming out of your physical body and touching the rope. Now you can imagine yourself placing one hand over the other on the rope as if you are pulling the rope on your own.
At this point of time you will feel stronger vibrations. It is very common that people on reaching this stage move back to their physical bodies but you should focus on climbing the rope. You need to ensure that you should not stop until you feel yourself being separated from your physical body.
Most everyone has heard of astral projection, but why should anyone want to experience this phenomenon? Well, I think there are four good reasons to practice astral projection. Let me first just say that I have experienced astral projection many times in my own life, so I do have some expertise on the subject. I have also written a book on astral projection and taught many courses, and workshops on astral projection. One of the questions that I have been asked many times is "Why should I want to experience astral projection?" Yes, it is an interesting phenomenon, but what can it do for me?
The first reason to experience astral projection is to know that you are more than your physical body. Most people identify totally with their physical bodies and have no idea that their consciousness extends beyond their physical being. The majority of people in today's society are preoccupied with their physical bodies and their physical appearance. This is all well and good, but what happens when our bodies begin to fail us, or when we get old. Then what happens? Many people become depressed, despondent and think their lives are over. But this does not have to be the case. Once you have experienced astral projection, you know that your consciousness can exist apart from your physical body. During an out of body experience, you can see your body lying peacefully in your bed, while you are floating above it. This is important to know because than you are not so attached to your body. It is more like a home where you reside during waking consciousness. You gain a new awareness that the real you extends beyond bodily consciousness, so you are not so caught up in the illusions of the physical body. When you get older, it is your body that gets older, not you. When you have a cold or illness, it is your body that needs healing, not you. So you are more at peace with the many changes that may affect your physical being. Many things will still affect you, but they will not affect you so deeply because of the awareness that you are more than your physical body. So, this is the first reason to experience astral projection. That is, to know that your consciousness can transcend your physical body and that you are more than your body.
The second reason to experience astral projection is to learn more about the universe within you. There are inner dimensions to the universe that we are normally unaware of during our everyday consciousness. Many mystics, yogis, saints and astral travelers have experienced this inner dimension to the universe and have written about them. Old Testament prophets, like Ezekiel, or yogis, such as Parmahansa Yogananda, and saints, like St. John have written about their experiences on the inner planes. There are many wonders to experience there and many things to learn. For instance, I found the force of gravity does not work the same on the inner planes as it does on the physical plane. Gravity is intimately connected with your mind and your beliefs there. You can fly on the inner planes as long as you believe it. If you do not believe that you can fly, then you cannot. It is very interesting!
I remember one astral projection experience that I had on the astral plane: I was flying in a clear blue sky and I looked down to the ground far below me. I thought to myself "gee, it would really hurt if I fell from this high up." At that same instant, I started to fall towards the ground, faster and faster. I panicked for a few seconds and cried out. But then, I remembered that I could fly. As soon as I focused on the thought that I could fly, I stopped falling and began to fly again. I learned quickly that things on the inner planes respond to our thoughts and beliefs.
On the inner planes, you can learn more about yourself and the universe. You can also take advantage of your experiences and knowledge gained there to use on the physical plane. Many people do this without even realizing it. For example, Albert Einstein obtained his theory of relativity while in a dream state (which is connected with the inner planes). Many other people have found solutions to their problems through their dreams or in a relaxed state, where they have access their intuition and knowledge from the inner planes. So, by learning to astral project, one can learn more about oneself and the infinite universe, and use that knowledge to improve things on the physical plane.
The third reason to experience astral projection is to raise your consciousness. Once you astral project, it is easier to meditate and reach higher planes of consciousness. While on the astral plane, one is free of many of the hindrances that keep one from reaching higher states of consciousness. On the physical plane, there may be bodily discomfort, environmental noises and intrusions that can prevent you from reaching ecstatic states of awareness. On the astral plane, there are no physical obstacles to meditation, so one is freer to rise to higher levels of consciousness. Yram, The Art of Astral Projection talks about how he was able to reach very high states of consciousness while astral projecting. I have also experienced higher states of bliss while astral projecting. I have been able to use my experience as a beacon in my normal meditations to help raise my consciousness on the physical plane.
Last, but not least; the fourth reason to astral project is to diminish the fear of death. Most people that I know are afraid to die. They have no idea what may happen to them and fear the unknown. Astral projection can help to alleviate the fear of death because you know that your consciousness can exist apart from your physical body. The process of astral projection is very similar to the process of dying. The difference is that when you astral project, you leave your physical body temporarily; when you die, you leave your body permanently. But after you experience astral projection, you know for certain that your consciousness can exist apart from your body, so you are no longer afraid of dying. Of course, you may be apprehensive of where you will go, but it is more like the beginning of a new journey. Life does not end with death; it is a transformation and a new beginning.
Finally you will feel free as you have reached your final destination by implementing astral projection. This method is very beneficial for you as it helps you to relax your body and mind with a divine feeling. There is also a belief that you may not be able to get back in your physical body after doing astral projection. The truth is that while sleeping our astral body leaves our physical body but we are not aware of it although we know that our body has entered a completely new world. Some people are able to do this projection naturally while there are others who are afraid to separate their inner conscience from their body.

Samsung Electronics has just make a public the closure of a contract to supply ASIC (Integrated application circuit) to the company HW, a manufacturer of virtual currency hardware for mining. In principle, Samsung Electronics will assemble in its ASIC miners plant to supply the customised casting division of semiconductor production for the virtual currency mining of the Chinese company.
In this way, Samsung Electronics becomes a new participant in the mining of cryptocurrencies, specifically in the development of ASIC for the mining of Bitcoin and other currencies based on the same protocol.
According to South Korean media, this step is the result of Samsung's association with a Chinese Bitcoin mining company, which was corroborated by the company through a statement, in which it said it was in the middle of a foundry business in which is supplying a cryptocurrency mining company in China.
According to the same statement, in which related industries also participated, Samsung Electronics completed last year the development of the semi-conductor ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) for the extraction of virtual currencies, and began mass production from January . This production is initially intended for the Chinese market, to then offer the products to South Korean and Japanese companies.
The cryptocurrency mining requires high speed hardware and low power consumption, and Samsung Electronics has said that the ASIC that began to manufacture in series, is a semiconductor on demand designed optimized for the extraction of coins, with what it plans to supply the demand for customized specific ASIC chips to be installed in mining equipment.
The electronics giant, which has already demonstrated prior knowledge and technological development to enter the sector, joins the market of ASIC mining chips, which experienced an overwhelming growth during the past year.
In 2017, Samsung Electronics revealed that it had the necessary knowledge and the technical elements required to launch the development of initiatives in the Bitcoin mining sector if it so wished. In that year, the company launched a recycling initiative to motivate customers to find new uses for their old phones, which consisted of creating a platform for the mining of bitcoin using 40 old Samsung Galaxy phones.
The initiative had a more significant than functional impact, but it served to demonstrate that Samsung was in possession of the necessary tools to enter the sector.
Also in the GPU mining
Samsung is currently working on the production of specialized hardware for mining with GPU chips, which have been used mainly as early mining equipment. The company is massively manufacturing a new type of DRAN for video cards, considered by many to be the most suitable for working in cryptocurrency mining.
Users are looking for speed and energy savings, and the new 16GB DRAN GDDR6 from Samsung, is twice as fast as conventionally used hardware, and it is much more cost-effective for users to improve energy efficiency in more than 35 %.
These Samsung announcements come after Nvidia, the world's largest manufacturer of these devices, announced that they are directing their products to the videogame segment, leaving the space open for Samsung Electronics to take on the challenge of capturing all those interested in it. acquire the necessary equipment to produce their own digital assets.

Data Encryption: Secure Your Sensitive Information
It seems that for as long as people have been passing along sensitive information, they have also used various methods of encryption to ensure privacy. The first data encryption tool dates as far back as 700 BC, when Spartan military used scytales to send sensitive messages during battle. Move forward a few thousand years, and we are still trying to protect our information, only with more advanced methods of data encryption.
The basics of data encryption
If you're wondering "What does data encryption actually mean?" Read our Encryption 101 blog post to familiarize yourself with the topic, learn best practices to follow when encrypting your data and which tools are available for data encryption.
But really, data encryption is just one part of your full data security strategy. For a more holistic look at how it fits into the broader security picture for IBM i, check out our eBook: Encryption, Tokenization, and Anonymization for IBM i
Why businesses need to encrypt their data
Companies always have to weigh cost to risk when making business decisions about security, but there are three main factors that should make encryption an obvious need.
1. Data breaches represent a huge business risk
Besides the risk to the data itself, businesses should also consider the cost of damage to their reputation that a data breach could cause. In our recent interview with security expert Patrick Townsend, he gave examples of the impact of a data breach due to unencrypted data. "If you look at companies that have suffered the most embarrassing breaches in recent years, like Anthem, Equifax, and Adobe, you'll notice that they were not encrypting their data at rest. That's what made their breaches so bad. When other breaches occurred with companies whose data was encrypted, they were basically non-stories. So, you want to be sure you are encrypting data."
For more information, read "Data Breaches Due to Unencrypted Information Represent a Huge Business Risk."
2. Hackers are highly motivated
Hackers are often looking for easy targets to make some quick cash. Your unencrypted data could be their next goldmine. See our post "What Do Hackers Really Want to Do With Your Data?" to learn more.
3. Mandatory compliance requirements
Due to the reasons above, encryption is standard security requirement under various compliance regulations. Some of these regulations are specific to the types of data, such as healthcare information protected under HIPAA and credit card information protected by PCI compliance standards. There are also a newer mandates to protect an individual's personal information. A ton has been written this year about the GDPR regulations for companies who do business in Europe. And, according to Patrick Townsend, there are similar regulations coming to other countries and parts of the U.S.
Types of encryption
It's important to know that not all methods of data encryption are the same. Some companies try data scrambling by creating their own algorithms, but this approach is not as secure as actual encryption and will not meet most compliance regulations.
Here are some encryption methods that you will likely hear about:
- Data Encryption Standard (DES): Once the gold standard choice of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), DES was replaced by the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in 2000.
- Triple DES (3DES): Also known as Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA), this method uses DES encryption three times. But even Triple DES was proven ineffective against brute force attacks (in addition to slowing down the process substantially).
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES): The current NIST-approved standard for encrypting data at rest. AES is a symmetric key encryption algorithm, which essentially means that the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt the data.
- Pretty Good Protection (PGP): To encrypt data, PGP generates a symmetric key to encrypt data which is protected by the asymmetric key, which allows for authentication. PGP is ideal for encrypting data being shared outside of your network and should play a core part of your secure file transfer strategy.
Avoiding potential problems of encryption on the IBM i
IBM's security implementation on the IBM i platform is good, but that doesn't mean that it's immune from data breaches. All PCs and servers on the same network as your IBM i server are potential attack points for a data breach. There's no doubt that hackers know that the IBM i server is a rich target.
Implementing encryption in IBM i Db2 is an essential part of an in-depth defense strategy. But there are lots of pitfalls to avoid.

The Wainscott Citizens Advisory Committee officially unveiled "Welcome to Wainscott" hamlet signs on Saturday, following its monthly meeting at the Wainscott Chapel.
Members of the committee were joined by Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc and Councilwoman-Elect Kathee Burke-Gonzalez as they pulled the tarp from the two colorful signs placed along Montauk Highway. The "Welcome to Wainscott" signs, which were donated by the Wainscott CAC, stand at the south side of the highway at Town Line Road heading east, and just west of the Highway Diner and the Veterans of Foreign Wars on the north side of the highway heading west.
CAC Co-Chair Rick Del Mastro praised the committee for its efforts in getting the signs and thanked Mr. Van Scoyoc, who he said has played a big role since being appointed as the committee's liaison.
Mr. Del Mastro said that the committee has evolved over the years and has become very effective in getting things accomplished. "Everyone gets involved. Everyone has a role to play," he said. "We've made a difference in our hamlet. You can only do that when you have the right people in place."
The signs, which cost a combined $4,000, are a permanent marker of the borderlines of the tiny hamlet, which as of the last census had a population of just 650.
Since the signs, which were installed by the East Hampton Town Highway Department, sit on state property along Montauk Highway, Highway Superintendent Stephen Lynch filed an application with the state for permission to put them there. The Highway Department also wrapped the signs in tarps so the committee could do an official unveiling ceremony.
Mr. Del Mastro said that he was appreciative of the cooperation the committee received from town and from Mr. Lynch. "He's done a great job, not only in our hamlet but throughout East Hampton," he said of Mr. Lynch.
The signs come on the heels of another Wainscott beautification effort. Recently, brightly lit and colorful holiday trees were placed at points on the roadside along Montauk Highway. CAC Co-Chair Jose Arandia, who led the effort to get businesses owners to agree to be access points for electricity to light the trees, said the response from the business community was overwhelmingly positive. "Every single business owner said how wonderful it was," he said.
The holiday trees had special significance since, until this holiday season, Wainscott had not been included in the town's budget for the holiday adornments.
Mr. Van Scoyoc said that he's pleased with the committee's work on both the hamlet signs and the holiday trees, and he's glad that he has been able to help. "It gives people the appearance that you're entering a hamlet," he said of Wainscott. "It's a small step, but it's a step."
The Wainscott CAC is now celebrating its 30th year, according to Mr. Del Mastro. The committee holds meetings on the first Saturday of every month in the Wainscott Chapel on Main Street in Wainscott.

Predicting storage vessel requirements for discharge of extreme shape materials
The feedstocks used for the renewable energy industry are difficult to handle because of their irregular particle shape and size. The erratic flow of these particles during processing results in equipment down-time and waste.
Equipment providers/designers to the bioenergy industry are facing problems putting values to the mechanical properties of the material to characterise them. Methods of flowability measurement which work well with ordinary powder and granular particles totally break down, when applied to fibrous, irregular shaped biomass materials.
This project utilises a recently developed characterisation test to measure the tensile strength of fibrous bulk solids. This failure property has been combined with a new failure criterion to determine the critical outlet dimension for reliable gravity flow of fibrous materials. This potential design technique has been evaluated against actual silo discharge tests for a range of extreme shape biomass materials. It is anticipated that this will enhance reliable flow and eradicate poor handling and flow problems at power stations, energy from waste plants and bio-refineries.
This project is led by Professor M Bradley, assisted by Dr R Berry.

DIEKEN, Jurgen 1871-1951
Posted By: from Obit Page
Date: 8/19/2010 at 20:01:27
Jurgen Dieken Died Sunday In His Farm Home
He Had Been A Resident Of The County And Lincoln Township Over 70 Years; Was Born In Illinois
Jurgen H. Dieken, widely known farmer and a resident of Grundy county and Lincoln township for 77 years, died at his farm home in Lincoln township at 5:45 Sunday morning. He had been afflicted with uremia for some time. This trouble and advanced age were the causes of his death. Had he lived a week longer, he would have been 80 years old.
Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon and later at the Colfax Presbyterian church. Rev. George Swalve conducted the services. Burial was by the side of the wife in the cemetery adjoining the church. Mr. Dieken had been a member of and a regular attendant at this church during his active lifetime. He served as an elder of the church for 30 years.
Mr. Dieken was a good farmer, a good neighbor and a highly respected citizen who enjoyed the goodwill and the friendship of all with whom he had contact during his lifetime.
Was Born in Illinois
Mr. Dieken was born on a farm near Forreston, Ill., Feb. 17, 1871. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Heye Dieken. After a year there, the family moved to Dumont, Ia., and remained there for several years. Then by way of covered wagon, they journeyed to Kansas. After two years in Kansas, the family moved back to Iowa, making their home on various farms--all in Lincoln township, Grundy county.
Jurgen Dieken and Wilhelmina Groote were married January 21, 1901. They went to housekeeping on the Dieken farm which remained their home continually. Mrs. Dieken died in September, 1930. One or more of his children continued to live with their father on the farm. In late years the son Elmer and his wife lived with him and gave him loving care and companionship.
Mr. and Mrs. Dieken became the parents of seven children, five sons and two daughters. The sons are Hiriam, Holland; Elmer, Grundy Center; LuVern and Irvin, Dike, and Glenn, Parkersburg. The daughters are Mrs. Ella Graham, Wheaton, Ill., and Mrs. Anna Griffiths, Chicago. There are nine grandchildren. Preceding him in death in addition to his wife were two brothers, D. H. and John Dieken, and one sister, Mrs. E. E. Groote.
Casketbearers at the funeral service were Harm Groote, P. H. Knock, John J. Kruse, Phillip Tack, Klaas V. Kruger and Geo. Knock.

Written on the 21 September 2016 by Kevin Conolly
Member for Riverstone Kevin Conolly MP was delighted by the success of the Riverstone Junior School Leadership Forum in NSW Parliament yesterday.
33 students from 12 local primary schools attended the Leadership Forum at NSW Parliament House on Thursday, 15 September 2016, and had the opportunity to discuss leadership with The Hon Shelley Hancock MP, Speaker Legislative Assembly and The Hon John Ajaka MLC, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Disability Services, and Minister for Multiculturalism.
The forum is an annual event initiated by Mr Conolly to inspire junior school students in leadership roles to think more broadly about leadership in our community.
"It is also an opportunity for me to recognize the hard work that school captains and leaders give to their school communities" Mr Conolly said.
The students from Hambledon Public School, John Palmer Public School, Mary Immaculate Primary School, Norwest Christian College, Parklea Public School, Riverstone Public School, Schofields Public School, St John XXIII Catholic Primary School, St John's Primary School, Australian Christian College, Riverbank Public School, Quakers Hill East Public School were acknowledged directly by the Premier and the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. The students then watched question time in the Legislative Assembly Chamber and got to see the Premier and government Ministers in action.
"I thought the best part was seeing Question Time; I really enjoyed it" said a school captain from Schofields Public School.
Mr Conolly then gave the students a personal tour of Parliament House.
"I believe it is important that our young leaders have an understanding of how their democratic government functions" said Mr Conolly.
"This experience may have opened their eyes to wider possibilities for their own futures".

The channel types fall into 3 major categories: Lead Capture Funnels, Sales Page Funnels, and also Occasion Funnels. Yet there are some other unique funnels like Subscription funnels you can create as well.
They include straightforward funnels like the Capture Web page Funnel which accumulates a site visitor's email address and afterwards sends them to a Thank you page when subscribing.Can Clickfunnels Checkout With Paymal And Authorize
Or to more advanced sales funnels like the 2-Step TripWire Funnel which sells a low ticket front-end product (your tripwire) and after that upsells them to your extra costly items using Order Form bumps, and One Click upsells or Downsells.

Amazing Feature # 2: Great Visual Drag and also Go Down Editor
While ClickFunnels provides you a terrific base with its funnel as well as page layouts, the ClickFunnels editor is where you can truly make each page in your funnel your own.
Pages in ClickFunnels are outlined utilizing areas that can have any number of rows and columns. You can then use your mouse to drag components around and also position them where you desire them.
While possibly not as adaptable as Instapage's touchdown web page editor, it is still exceptional as well as it can be used to achieve virtually any layout you want.
Exactly what I such as is that the editor is really intuitive to use. Picking parts on the web page and relocating them where you desire is really seamless. Text components can be edited inline, and also modifying any aspect's residential or commercial properties can be done via the fly-out sidebar.
And also unlike various other editors around, everything is organized in a rational means. You're not investing a lot of time hunting for what you want to do.
The essential thing is that no coding is needed. So you do not need to spend time learning HTML or CSS or any type of technological points like that.

Standard components consist of Heading, Picture, Text, Switch, Input kinds and Video widgets. These are the standard foundation for any kind of landing page you build in the software application.
ClickFunnels likewise includes a number of advanced components like:
- TEXT Signup

- Pricing Tables

And also, there are customized components like Subscription aspects for your subscriptions pages as well as order and also delivery type components for your order web pages.
Each element could be easily tailored in the editor sidebar. With many components, you could alter typical buildings like background shades, margins, typefaces, and alignment. After that there are element details residential or commercial properties like the picture link for the Picture component or [add another example below]
Awesome Function # 4: Share your funnels with your buddies as well as customers (and make some additional money)
Inside the Settings tab of any of your funnels, you can grab your Share Funnel URL.
When a person brows through this URL, they will have the ability to add this channel straight right into their account if they are an existing ClickFunnels participant. If they typically aren't a participant yet, they can register for the ClickFunnels 14-day free trial and after that obtain your funnel added to their account.
Just what's actually remarkable is that this share link also acts as your affiliate web link, as well as you will obtain a repeating compensation if this brand-new user winds up remaining on. You could see this in action by taking a look at one of the sales funnels I developed.
Right here are a couple of suggestions to earn some extra money with this.
You can become a ClickFunnels professional as well as produce niche details sales funnels that you can sell to small companies because same particular niche. These very same funnels can additionally be sold in the ClickFunnels market where they might also be sold to various other ClickFunnels customers.Can Clickfunnels Checkout With Paymal And Authorize

Truthfully, the chances are limitless with this, and a great deal of people are making great cash with ClickFunnels by benefiting from this share funnels attribute.
Great Attribute # 5: Outstanding onboarding procedure.
Wrapping your head around all that ClickFunnels could do might seem daunting at first. Yet this is helped by the most outstanding on-boarding process I have actually seen in a software.
When you initially register, you exist with the 7-day challenge. It includes 4 different games with every one having a variety of actions to complete. Every action includes a job as well as a brief video clip of Russell explaining just what you need to do to finish it.
The first game walks you with the procedure of building your personal Hero Funnel, while the Second as well as 3rd games introduce you to the Funnel Recipe book and also the Funnel University. Ultimately, the last game is a Release Checklist that walks you through everything you should do before having your channel go live.
Although the whole process is optional, if you complete all the actions you will "win" some prizes consisting of a ClickFunnels tee and some sticker labels.
I discovered the entire procedure to be unbelievably useful. It's essentially an interactive ClickFunnels tutorial where you discover the best ways to make use of ClickFunnels itself and also the viewpoint as well as worth of using the software for your own organisation.
I highly suggest you undergo it first when you sign up.

Component 2: Just what I don't such as about ClickFunnels?
Bitter pill # 1: Why is adding a funnel so slow?
After selecting your funnel kind and template, it has to get added to your account.
For some reason, this procedure seems to take about 8-10 seconds every time. While I do not know exactly what's truly going on behind the scenes, it does not make good sense to me why this would take so long. It's a bit frustrating, although simply a small inconvenience.
Bitter pill # 2: Limits on funnels you could develop and visitors.
ClickFunnels limitations you to 20 funnels, 100 web pages, and 20,000 site visitors on their most inexpensive plan. I'm truly not a fan of software products that limit you in this way. If you are just building sales funnels on your own, these restrictions are possibly alright.
You could get more upset at these restrictions if you are doing customer work and also structure funnels for multiple consumers.
Bitter pill # 3: Steep learning curve.
The scope of just what ClickFunnels can do is very big, as well as I can most definitely see it be daunting to some. That's why so much work was put into the onboarding process to assist reduce you right into the software application. The ClickFunnels user interface is quite well created for the most part and also when you've developed a few funnels yourself, the whole process does obtain simpler.
Part 3: ClickFunnels Rates.
Gradually, ClickFunnels has actually advanced their prices plans. Initially, they had 3 different pricing rates, but they have currently been combined right into 2 separate strategies.
So just how much is ClickFunnels now?
Currently, the cheapest ClickFunnels strategy is $97 a month. On this strategy, you get access to all the funnel creation tools, yet you are limited to developing 20 funnels, 100 pages, and 20,000 site visitors. You likewise do not obtain accessibility to Actionetics, their built-in e-mail company and Knapsack, which enables you to produce your own affiliate program.
To obtain access to that, you'll have to go with the Etison Collection plan. It includes whatever, plus you get unrestricted funnels, pages, and also site visitors. Nonetheless, this will run you $297 a month.
As for I can tell, there are no ClickFunnels coupon codes offered. Nonetheless, you can decide to pay annual and also get a 16% ClickFunnels discount rate. That's the equivalent of 2 months free.
Nevertheless, ClickFunnels does make it easy for you to demo their solution with their free, 14-day free test. It's not restricted by any means which lets you provide the software program a full examination prior to you totally devote.

Component 4: Everything else you have to find out about ClickFunnels.
Exactly how is their assistance?
ClickFunnels sustain is fairly good in my experience. They use Intercom, so you could straight ask concerns in the live conversation box. Support demands are usually responded to within a couple of hrs and also I found the team to very valuable to all my questions.
Do I require my own domain?
You do not necessarily need your own domain name to release a funnel, although I would advise it. If you do not have one after that your channel link will certainly look something like http://username.clickfunnels.com.
One good bonus that I really did not learn about is that ClickFunnels will certainly buy you your initial domain for free or even set up SSL on it for you. You can discover the best ways to do this from the very first video game in the onboarding training.
Do they have an active neighborhood?
ClickFunnels has a huge neighborhood. There's the main team on FB with over 100k participants as well as the ClickFunnels Avengers FB team (for affiliates) that has over 30k members.
Both groups are very active and also it's a terrific place to get solution to get responses on your sales funnels as well as address any questions you might have.
What integrations do they use?
Despite the fact that ClickFunnels has its own email provider via Actionetics, it likewise incorporates straight with all the best email company out there.
For payment portals, ClickFunnels integrates with Red stripe, Paypal, Clickbank, Infusionsoft, Authorize.net and also a couple of others. The one restriction with utilizing Paypal though is that it does not sustain One Click Upsells or Once Uses. That's why I would highly suggest selecting Red stripe if you can.
Is ClickFunnels a scam?
No, ClickFunnels is not a scam. ClickFunnels is definitely the actual deal.
It's a wonderful software application as well as a remarkable affiliate opportunity. I have actually made use of ClickFunnels myself to help sell a logo design service, and I'm presently using it to market a physical fitness product with excellent success.
Some people might be delayed because they see many individuals promoting ClickFunnels then figure it's over-hyped. Yet it's not because it fixes an usual problem for online marketers which is, "Just how do I develop a sales channel?"
What is ClickFunnels utilized for?
Besides producing standard sales funnels, there are many methods online marketers are using ClickFunnels today in their company.
It's fantastic for creating optin funnels to help you create extra leads as well as develop your e-mail checklist.
You can produce webinar funnels to help you expand your brand and also offer your services and products.
And you can use it to develop subscription websites where you could entrance your premium material to make sure that it comes just to subscribers.
Do they have an affiliate program?
ClickFunnelshas one of the very best affiliate programs around. They pay persisting revenue for every ClickFunnels user you refer and also you could win amazing rewards like assisting make payments towards your personal desire cars and truck if you reach a certain number of recommendations on a monthly basis.
They also have a 2-tier affiliate program for referring people to the ClickFunnels affiliate program. You could earn 5% compensations on all sales they people that sign up under you make.
Just how do I make ClickFunnels help me?
To start with, you have to have a product and services to market. If you don't have something to offer, then don't also bother looking into ClickFunnels before you do.
Next off, you have to want to spend money and time into creating your worth ladder and also constructing out your entire sales funnel.
That implies at the very least developing a lead magnet or affordable tripwire item to get consumers right into your funnel. As well as generating ideal upsells, order bumps as well as various other OTOs that enhance or improve your main item offering.
If you're vague the best ways to start, I would take a look at Russell's own multi-million buck sales funnels to provide you ideas. Read his publication DotComSecrets where he discusses specifically the why as well as exactly how of producing sales funnels as well as the best ways to inform tales to market your products.
And also as you experience his very own sales funnels on your own you could see how he goes from affordable tripwire (DotComSecrets) to offering his flagship product (ClickFunnels).
By developing his very own community of going crazy fans he could then upsell his different other products and events like Funnel Scripts, Funnel Hackers Live, and also much more.
When you have actually experienced his funnels, then you could take the components that apply to your own business as well as develop a plan for your personal sales channel. As soon as you have that in position, you will certainly be ready to start earning money with ClickFunnels.
Part 5: ClickFunnels versus the competitors.
There are a couple of ClickFunnels options out there that share a few of the very same abilities as ClickFunnels. Two that I utilize myself are LeadPages and SamCart.
ClickFunnels vs LeadPages
Today, LeadPages is just one of the marketplace leaders in the landing web page contractor room and it's a popular device in its very own right.
It additionally lately included the capacity to offer items directly on their web pages with its new Checkout widget.
Each item features a huge option of good looking templates. Both have drag as well as decrease editors that make it very easy for you to produce the layouts you want. As well as both integrate with all the popular email provider.
Nonetheless, Leadpages is a lot more restricted in range than ClickFunnels. You utilize it to develop landing web pages that will aid you accumulate leads. This is not a negative point due to the fact that LeadPages actually radiates for making touchdown web pages quick.
Today, among the most reliable strategies for expanding your e-mail listing is by utilizing content upgrades. By producing targeted lead magnets to your most preferred articles you could get opt-in conversion prices that much exceed your conventional pop-up.
LeadPages is the very best solution for implementing this method with its LeadBoxes, 2 step opt-ins, and also automatic lead magnet delivery which is why they are one of the most preferred popup you will certainly see today.
So if you are largely concentrated on list building, I would certainly suggest trying out LeadPages.
However, if you are offering a service or product, then ClickFunnels is the precise selection. While it comes with a higher learning contour compared to Leadpages, as soon as you grasp the tool, you could actually explode your sales once you begin developing sales funnels for every of your items.
Yes, you could sell things with LeadPages, yet it's not as easy to add upsells and downsells which ClickFunnels can.
ClickFunnels vs SamCart
SamCart is an item that enables customers to produce beautiful, high converting check out pages. Which offers it a great deal alike with ClickFunnels.
SamCart is tailored in the direction of readying up and also marketing fast. It sustains both Stripe and also Paypal and also it features 17 various checkout page design templates which you can personalize.
In regards to flexibility, there is no comparison in between ClickFunnel's drag and also decline editor and also SamCart's.
ClickFunnels is considerably extra effective because you could make any check out web page you can desire for. Samcart just allows for some basic personalizations to its pre-made layouts.
SamCart does permit you to include order bumps, upsells and downsells like ClickFunnels does. You could additionally conveniently develop promo codes for your items which is an additional terrific method to boost conversions.
Nevertheless, where Samcart is lacking, is the ability to capture leads and also develop complete sales funnels. Both items been available in at the same $97 a month price factor, as well as I locate ClickFunnels to be quite a bit a lot more flexible and powerful than Samcart.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- DaimlerChrysler AG on Friday said it would sell its remaining stake in Mitsubishi Motors, a move that will help close the book on Juergen Schrempp's reign as head of the German-American automaker.
DaimlerChrysler DCX, +0.00% said it's selling its remaining 12.4% stake in Mitsubishi Motors (7211), resulting in a capital gain of around 500 million euros. Mitsubishi separately disclosed that the buyer of the stake is Goldman Sachs Group GS, +3.44%.
DaimlerChrysler said the deal will be done by the end of November at the latest. Shares of the automaker rose 1.9% in a rising Frankfurt market. See Europe markets.
The automaker added it'll continue to cooperate with Mitsubishi Motors on all projects and components.
Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein analyst Jens Schattner said the deal will allow DaimlerChrysler to help fund the restructuring of its Smart car division as well as fund the cutting of 8,500 jobs in Germany.
"Today's announcement ... should be seen as a clear sign that Mercedes Car Group will increasingly focus on its core activities," Schattner said.
Stake buy in 2000
Schrempp, to be succeeded as DaimlerChrysler's chief executive by Dieter Zetsche at year's end, engineered in 2000 the company's acquisition of a third of the Japanese automaker for nearly $2 billion.
That stake rose to as high as 37%, but the investment didn't turn out to be a fruitful one, and in April 2004 the automaker stunned investors by opting not to participate in a capital-raising offering by Mitsubishi Motors, despite Schrempp's advice to the contrary. See archived story.
DaimlerChrysler and other partners had been negotiating a $7.6 billion investment into Mitsubishi.
The company's board backed Schrempp in the aftermath of not funding Mitsubishi, but his standing at the automaker never recovered.
Last July, Schrempp said he would step aside, sending DaimlerChrysler shares soaring. See archived story.
The stake-sale news comes as Mitsubishi Motors reported that its operating loss for the first half ended Sept. 30 narrowed to 19.8 billion yen ($167 million), while sales fell more than 7% to $8.4 billion.
It sold 2% more vehicles, a total 659,000, during the period, though North American sales came in below earlier company forecasts.
Mitsubishi Motors shares ended 2.6% lower in Tokyo trade.

The Lions put on Tuesday defensive end Ezekiel Ansah on injured reserve Tuesday according to the team's official website.
Ansah dislocated his shoulder against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and is expected to require surgery. Playing on the franchise tag, the 29-year-old Ansah was limited to seven games by shoulder issues this season.
He notched four sacks on 146 snaps after posting 12 sacks in 2017. Originally the No.5-overall pick out of BYU in 2013, it seems likely that Ansah has placed his last down for the Lions.

It's not luck anymore. I score way above that.
Again, where are the specific details? give me some numbers! It drives me nuts when people post vague claims like, "I'm winning". You can also win for long periods just by chance, especially if you're using a progression on a high limit game. The app you mention should at least tell you what the chances are that your wins are attributable to some real effect and not just random chance.
So now you're a mind-reader too? We are indeed privileged to have such a highly evolved being in our little forum. Actually, the "materialist" philosophy is far more threatening than the one you're proposing is the truth. Yours is much more comforting because you can believe almost anything you want without any evidence - you know, like they used to before the methods of science were developed about 300 years ago. Ghosts, Gods, the paranormal, yada yada yada. Take your pick of whatever is most consoling for you!Now I take your point that modern physics isn't "materialistic" and there is a lot it can't say anything about, but the major difference between science and other ways of knowing about the world is that it requires objective evidence, not mere belief or authority.
There is no such thing as "objective evidence" - this is something that you are unable to grasp at your current level of consciousness.
I never said to believe something without evidence, do not put words into my mouth.
What is science?What is evidence?What is reality?How do I know that something is true?What am I?Who is aware of reality?Who is perceiving?
And your evidence for this assertion is what, exactly?Right, so you do believe in evidence after all. You see the problem; when you argue for a position you must use evidence, or it's just an assertion (some proposition given without evidence). I see lots of assertions from you but very little in the way of evidence. You cannot argue convincingly for your position without using evidence, which you've just asserted doesn't exist ("there is no such thing as objective evidence"). So that makes you a hypocrite, and worse, you are actually refuting yourself. Why not answer your own questions first?I can tell you what evidence is; it's anything provided in support of an assertion. This need not be proof, which only really applies to deductive arguments and maths. Other than that, evidence can be weak or strong. There is scientific evidence and evidence in the law (which can be classified as circumstantial, etc). Now your turn. What do you think science is?
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Truth is prior to evidence.
I will not engage in anymore arguments with you until you put in the work.
Why trust others? You don't trust us, but you do trust other people you also never met.
But I agree with you that it would better to do my own tests to convince myself.
Your high priesists of Science have to give you their blessing.
Thank you for all your contributions to this forum. I will PM you at some point after my own tests . The materialists will be materialists - they are no different than religious people. No need to waste your time trying to convince those that are not open-minded enough.

We are now one third of the way through the fall edition of Fritjof Capra's Capra Course and we have come to the lecture on Mind and Consciousness. In this lecture Fritjof discusses "one of the most important and most radical philosophical implications of the new systemic understanding of life: a new conception of the nature of mind and consciousness, which finally overcomes the Cartesian division between mind and matter".
As Fritjof discusses in his lecture, ever since Descartes called the mind a "thinking thing," scientists and philosophers thought about mind as some kind of intangible entity, and they could not imagine how this mysterious "thinking thing" was interacting with the body:
The decisive advance of the systems view of life has been to realize that mind and consciousness are not things but processes.This novel concept of mind was conceived by Gregory Bateson, and was developed into the so-called Santiago theory of cognition by Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela.
As with every lecture on this course, we have been having some deep and wide-ranging conversations, and one of the participants shared his reflections on beauty:
This week's lecture has made me think a lot about the very essence of travelling. I've hitchhiked thousands of kilometers in the last weeks and when I look back at everything I perceived, felt and thought, everything I coupled to, I see a process: the process of cognition and the process of life.
I see beauty in many corners of my journey. And I ask myself, and now to all of you: what is beauty. Where does it stand between primary and extended consciousness, between feeling and idea, between core and autobiographic self? How much of it belongs to a social consensus?
In this conversation, Fritjof shared with everyone an interview he gave to Indian artist Shakti Maira in which he discussed beauty in relation to the systems view of life. The interview was featured in Maira's book The Promise of Beauty and Why It Matters (Harper Collins India) which was published earlier this year.
In his book Maira asks the question what would happen if beauty were to become central to every aspect of our lives: environment, education, economics and governance, and includes eighteen interviews from leading thinkers in a wide range of fields. Scientists explore whether there is an evolutionary purpose to it. Philosophers examine its relationship to truth and goodness. Artists speak of beauty and its rejection. Brain mind experts consider whether the experience of it strengthens certain neural pathways connected with the qualities of balance, harmony, rhythm and proportion. Activists probe how beauty works in the context of social systems.
The Promise of Beauty
(interview with Shakti Maira)
1) In the research and thinking for your recent book on Leonardo da Vinci, did you come across, or form, any new or deep insights into 'beauty'?
Yes, I did. My explorations of Leonardo's unique synthesis of science and art forced me to think more deeply about the nature of beauty, because this is a subject Leonardo addresses frequently. He was famous during his lifetime for the "air of sweetness and gentleness" manifest both in his personality and in his art, for the gentle beauty radiating from the faces of the young men and women he portrayed and of the angels in his religious paintings. Leonardo himself associated the experience of beauty in the mind of a viewer of these paintings with an experience of proportion and harmony, and he also compared that visual experience with the beauty of a musical composition. "The beautiful proportions of an angelic face in painting," he wrote, "produce a harmonious concord, which reaches the eye simultaneously, just as a chord in music affects the ear" (Treatise on Painting, chapter 21). So, my studies of Leonardo's art and science confirmed an intuition I had had before — of beauty as an experience of proportion and harmony, both is space and in time.
2) Your thoughts on the axioms of beauty in the classical traditions in the light of new thinking in the sciences? Do you see any opportunities of synthesis and integration?
I do indeed see an opportunity for synthesis and integration, which is suggested by cognitive science — a new interdisciplinary field for the study of mind and consciousness. According to modern cognitive science, our minds (or processes of cognition) are embodied in the structures of our bodies and brains, and hence all the structures and patterns we perceive are conditioned by those in our bodies and brains. It seems to me that the experience of beauty may arise when the proportions and rhythms we perceive mirror our own bodily (and especially neural) proportions and rhythms very closely. In those cases, we perceive those proportions as harmonious and beautiful because, in a sense, we recognize ourselves in them. Beauty may perhaps be the experience of a certain resonance phenomenon. So far, this is just a vague intuition, but I think it might be worthwhile to explore it further.
3) Though your work is now more in the life sciences, your early training was in physics, and you famously brought together Nataraja, the iconic dancing Shiva, and particle physics. Could you tell us about your experience of 'beauty' in physics?
My experience of the metaphorical identity of the Dance of Shiva and the dance of subatomic particles, which happened in the late 1960s and which I described in detail in the Preface of The Tao of Physics, was not primarily an experience of beauty, although it had aesthetic elements. It was primarily the experience of a unifying idea that was profoundly meaningful. In my work as a physicist, my experiences of beauty were mainly those of mathematical elegance. Certain mathematical formalisms or equations represent elegant unifications of previously "messy" fragments. The sudden experience of such an elegant unification can be a profound experience of beauty.
4) Could you say something about the relational values or relational qualities of harmony, balance, proportionality and rhythm, in nature? Do you think beauty is part of the self-regulating process of natural systems? Could beauty (harmony, balance, et al) in nature be an adaptive and network management mechanism?
Over the last 25 years, a new understanding of life has been emerging at the forefront of science. The universe is not longer seen as a machine composed of elementary building blocks. We have discovered that the material world, ultimately, is a network of inseparable patterns of relationships; that the planet as a whole is a living, self-regulating system. Essential to this new science is a new kind of systemic, or ecological thinking — thinking in terms of relationships, patterns, context. Because of the close connection of beauty with the relational qualities of harmony, balance, and proportions, the emerging science of qualities now opens up the exciting possibility of seriously integrating aesthetic dimensions into science.
5) In your ecological educational work, do you bring in the dimension of beauty? And if so, how?
At the Center for Ecoliteracy, my colleagues and I have developed a special pedagogy for primary and secondary education, which we call "schooling for sustainability." It is a systemic, experiential, and community-oriented approach to teaching the basic principles of ecology. We take children out into nature and involve them in growing food in school gardens, restoring rivers and creeks, and other ecological projects. Our aim is not to merely to produce first-rate ecologists, but to help students make an emotional connection with nature, generating feelings of love, respect, and reciprocity that will turn them into environmentally responsible citizens and stewards of the natural environment when they become adults. We have found that the arts — poetry, the visual arts, and the performing arts — are an ideal means to facilitate such an emotional connection with nature. Hence the arts, and with them the dimension of beauty, play an important role in our pedagogy.

text: Share: Comments Print October 7, 2008 at 4:06 PM Initiative 1000: death with dignity Posted by krosenthal Say goodbye to civil liberties No pun intended, but the progressives have it dead wrong when it comes to Initiative 1000 ["Death with dignity: Approve I-1000," Times, editorial, Oct. 5]. Much like the Oregon law, which has been on the books for 10 years, the Washington law would, in effect, enable the insurance companies to wipe out civil liberties. I have a disabled son. I don't want someone telling me that caring for him has become too costly, but that they will gladly pay for the pill to end his life "compassionately." This is a civil-rights issue. This is a disability-rights issue. This is not a slippery slope. This is a blind leap over a precipice of no return. Get informed, be shocked. Then get angry and vote "no" on I-1000. — Mary Lund, Bothell Suicide is unacceptable The Times concludes that, "On the grounds of compassion for the suffering, and recognition of the individual as a moral agent," we should vote for I-1000. Vote against I-1000 for the same reasons. Compassion means suffering (passion) with (com) another and seeing the person through to the end — not hastening it. This is much more difficult than turning away while the person injects himself or herself and commits suicide. Yes, the individual is a moral agent. Choices one makes have moral implications — for everyone. To legalize physician-assisted suicide, even for a few, is to begin to reshape it as a morally acceptable option for the many. The attempt to draw parameters around "acceptable" suicide is arbitrary and, thus, subject to change. Why is physical suffering given greater weight than emotional suffering? Why is suicide only OK for someone who might die in six months? Why is suicide a tragedy when it falls outside these narrowly defined parameters but compassionate when inside them? Legalizing physician-assisted suicide opens it for discussion and implies its legitimacy. Eventually, the discussion will be about broadening those arbitrary, narrow, "safe" parameters. — Brian Cummings, Port Orchard Sheen's ad makes false claims I much appreciate the effort The Times is expending to examine the claims made by candidates and groups supporting and opposing ballot issues in this election season. My request is that you look at the claims being made by the two sides of the I-1000 (death with dignity) issue — in particular, the radio and TV ads by actor Martin Sheen. I loved Sheen in "The West Wing." He is not, however, well-cast in the role of death-with-dignity opponent. Sheen claims that "the 9,000 doctors" of the Washington State Medical Association oppose I-1000. In fact, that decision was made by the WSMA House of Delegates and executive board. Rank-and-file members of the WSMA were never allowed to vote on it. Many physicians support the initiative. A quick check of the records in Olympia will reveal that more money from doctors has been donated to groups favoring I-1000 than those opposed to it. Additionally, Sheen would have us believe that patients could opt for a lethal dose of medication even if they were suffering only from depression. This is not true. At least two doctors must certify that a patient is making an informed decision and is mentally competent. One thing I can agree with the actor on is that patients should be treated with compassion. And what could be more compassionate than allowing someone to make an exit on their own terms, before physical conditions render the individual unrecognizable to his family? Sheen should keep up the good work [acting], where his dialogue more often has the ring of truth. — Chris Fruitrich, West Seattle Safeguards flawed in I-1000 I have strong opinions against the proposed Death with Dignity Act, I-1000. The safeguards are flawed. The two objective witnesses can hardly be called objective if one witness may also be an heir, a beneficiary of the terminally-ill patient's estate. I-1000 leaves room for great anguish of the dying, as well as distrust and possible calamity within families in the moral and legal arenas. Is anyone talking to the survivors of patients who chose to die under Oregon's Assisted Suicide law? Surely there must be trauma. Are there support groups to help counsel the families in this decision prior and following? Have there been lawsuits filed because of wrongdoing? Has there been any follow-up? There must be safeguards in place and support for the dying, as well as for those who survive the death of a loved one before even considering I-1000. — Mary Cockerham, Lakewood Thoughtful support Thank you for your thoughtful, carefully considered support of I-1000. The Times appropriately emphasizes the fundamental right of the individual to choose with dignity at the close of the life. — John Edwards, Seattle I-1000 doesn't guarantee choice to die I am against I-1000, due to the lack of safeguards. The Times acknowledges that I-1000 requires "no witnesses" at the time of death. Without required witnesses, the opportunity is created for an heir or stressed-out caregiver to administer the lethal dose to Dad without his consent. Even if he struggled violently, who would know? With no required witnesses, I-1000 creates the perfect alibi. Family members, of course, do this kind of thing all the time. The Times ran "Des Moines murder for hire brings 25-year prison terms" [Local News, Oct. 4], about a mother and son who hired a hit man to off her husband. Why should we pass a statute that rewards this type of behavior with a "get out of jail free card"? Sadly, people commit suicide now. Let's help ensure that it's their choice. — Margaret Dore, Seattle Comments | More in Election, Health care, Politics
