Terrorist attackshave led to large-scale unrest in society. As a result, terrorist financing is becoming an even more prominent item on the agendas of supervisory authorities such as DNB. Abuse of financial institutions to finance terrorist organisations or attacks must be prevented, so financial institutions must always be alert to customers and financial flows that could indicate terrorist financing.
Charity foundations are crucial for providing humanitarian help to people in need. There are strong indications that terrorists and terrorist organisations are abusing these organisations to finance their activities. Gaining an understanding of the risks and adequately monitoring the financial flows of such organisations is not only essential, but should be a regular component of an institution's sound and ethical operational management.
Pursuant to Sections 3(1) and 3(2) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act (Wet ter voorkoming van witwassen en financieren van terrorisme – Wwft), financial institutions must carry out customer due diligence and identify the customer and the ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs). In the case of foundations, identification and verification are relevant (1) if the customer is a foundation, (2) if the customer's ultimate beneficial owner is a foundation, or (3) if a representative acts on a foudation's behalf (and the foundation is the customer). As a minimum, institutions should use the following information to perform CDD on foundations. Regularly updating this information will enable institutions to establish the integrity risks related to foundations:
- Name of the foundation.
- Date of establishment and country of registration (also for foreign foundations or a legal entity comparable to a foundation).
- Official identity code (e.g. Chamber of Commerce registration number).
- Registered business address.
- Postal address (if different).
- Head office (if different).
- Control structure and information on the UBOs (in practice this will most often be the board members, but it could also be senior staff or representatives. For example, a treasurer with control over the foundation's financial flows. The foundation's articles of association are a key instrument in charting such information).
- Documentary evidence establishing and verifying the identity of the foundation's board members who are authorised to represent the foundation or to transfer funds or assets of the foundation (control).
- Type of foundation – charitable or other. Nature of the foundation's activities.
- Foundation's geographical area of operation.
Depending on the foundation's risk profile, it may be necessary to request additional information, e.g. about influential staff. This will allow the institution to carry out a risk assessment of foundations and to take further mitigation measures in case of heightened risk. Such measures may include adjusting the frequency of monitoring and updating the CDD information, but may also pertain to the intensity of transaction monitoring. It is the institution's responsibility to take measures that match its customers' risk profiles.
An integrity risk analysis based on the risk profiles of the foundations in the institution's customer base must be part of the institution's systematic integrity risk analysis (SIRA).
More information
International organisations such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) have issued guidelines on customer due diligence procedures, including for foundations, and on adequately assessing risks. In February 2016 for example, the BCBS published guidelines on the Sound management of risks related to money laundering and financing of terrorism. The FATF published a best practices document about dealing with non-profit organisations (NPOs) including foundations, with a description of the types of NPOs that are likely to be abused for terrorist financing purposes.

Getting my head around feminism...
How many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?
The above is to be taken tongue in cheek, but I think it says something about how feminism is viewed.
I think as a woman I am supposed to be a feminist. It's one of those things that most women want to be, but sometimes don't want to say they are because to them it (not me) conjours up images of shaven haired, man hating lesbians who shout at men who politely hold doors open for them. We all know that's bollocks (although I am sure such stereotypes exist!), but I do believe that feminism gets a bad press.
When I was at school, I had an art teacher who insisted on referring to a walkman (OK, that's just dated me somewhat) a walkperson. She proudly called herself a feminist, but I didn't and still don't think this was helpful in any way. Mind you I never even get upset about the generic assumption/use of policeman or chairman so maybe I am a bit rubbish. I suppose I just think that there are better things to get wound up about.
In simple terms, and according to he Oxford English Dictionary Feminism is defined as
"an advocate or supporter of the rights and equality of women"
This seems fairly straightforward and of course the nitty gritty will depend on the time and place of the feminist or feminist movement.
Often cited as 'the first feminist' Christine de Pizan was born in Venice in 1363, but was relocated to France where her father was appointed as court astrologer to King Charles V. As a noble women she was given an education, but it seems she was also educated in
Latin, philosophy, literature and the sciences, subjects usually reserved for boys.
She married at 15 and had three children in what appears to be a happy marriage. When she was widowed at 25 and had lost her father four years previously she turned to writing to support herself. She did well at this, writing ballads, poems and prose for the French court and thus supported herself, her children and her mother which in itself was unusual for noble women of the time.
Much of her work challenged stereotypes and misogyny in the works of male writers and most famously critisised Jean de Meun's allegorical poem "Querelle du Roman de la Rose" (The Romance of the Rose) which depicted women as nothing more than seducers. She argued that the poem denigrated the proper and natural function of sexuality, and that such language was inappropriate for female characters. Her critique primarily stems from her belief that Jean de Meun was purposely slandering women through the debated text. She continued to write in defense of the way women were portrayed and about women's rights. Simone de Beauvoir wrote of her, "...the first time we see a woman take up her pen in defense of her sex"
So, whilst Pizan wasn't writing about equality in the same way that the suffragette movement was fighting for the vote, she was probably an early Dorothy Parker or Virginia Woolf, giving women a voice and using her wit on paper.
Other feminist icons include Amelia Earhart, who proved that women could do anything men could do as well as encouraging other women to do the same. She said "Now and then women should do for themselves what men have already done — occasionally what men have not done — thereby establishing themselves as persons, and perhaps encouraging other women toward greater independence of thought and action."
The first organised movement for British women's suffrage was the Langham Place Circle of the 1850s, led by Barbara Bodichon (née Leigh-Smith) and Bessie Rayner Parkes They also campaigned for improved female rights in the law, employment, education, and marriage. They had something specific to fight about, but now that women are equal in terms of the law, although it could be argued that we are still not truly treated equally despite of legislation what is feminism today about?
On a personal level I get cross at the fact women are judged in the media by what they wear. Stupid article to make point. Famous women get asked about their relationships, desires to have a family and what they are wearing over questions about their career. Newspapers and magazines still over analyse women's bodies, pointing out whether she is too fat or too thin and how much cellulite she has.
A woman's looks are used against her. When Hilary Mantel made her superb speech about the monarchy all hell broke loose as the media turned it into a bitch fight, with Mantel insulting The Duchess of Cambridge. I won't go into the fact that the stupid people missed the point of what Mantel was saying (but this says it pretty well) but many of the outraged were too blinkered to actually read and understand the speech and instead critisised Mantel's physical appearance and dismissing her educated, intelligent words as sour grapes because she wasn't as young and thin and Kate. *sigh*
The brilliant classicist Mary Beard has also been repeatedly attacked for her looks, most famously by AA Gill, who said in 2012 she 'should be kept away from cameras altogether', this was after in 2010 writing about her "corpses' teeth", describing her hair as a "disaster", and her outfit as an "embarrassment". Oh and this is the same man who dismissed Clare Balding as 'A dyke on a bike'.
So, whist women can now be educated to a high level, chose to live alone, have careers and so on they are still attacked for not wanting to be dumb, pretty and breed. Ask any childless woman in her 30's how many times she has been asked when she have babies and any single man in his 30's the same question the chances are the woman will have been asked a thousand times more!
I could rattle on for much longer about the more subtle (and not so subtle) inequalities that do still exist in society, but I would be here all day and I want to get back onto what feminism means to me personally.
I was fortunate enough to work for a company for ten years that treated women well, the ratio of men to women in the senior head of department positions was very equal and included women at the head of 'traditionally' masculine departments (IT, accounts, and maintenance). My family have never pressured me to get married and have babies and I have a good mix of friends who are career women and stay at home mums, I know stay at home dads and couples where the women earn more than the men. My relationships have been equal in terms of who does the cooking and cleaning (ie if they don't do it, nothing would get done!). So you could say I have skipped through life not needing to be outraged by the way me or my peers have been treated.
I get cross at the whole notion women are judged on by their looks, but I myself feel better wearing make up, love clothes shopping and am forever in search of a foundation that will make me look ten years younger. I wear heels because they makes my legs look better and I shave my pussy because not only do clients tend to prefer it, but so does my man.
I don't have traditionally male interests such as rugby, cars and maths, although I know plenty of women who do. I never wanted to do 'boy' subjects at schools and chose Home EC over metalwork.I quite like the traditional that men propose to women, I'm afraid I have used my feminine wiles to get my own way and I'm so rubbish at DIY and techie type things I do often ask a man to help out (although to be fair I have also asked female friends). Does this make me a lousy feminist?
Maybe I'm not a feminist, maybe I don't want to be a feminist. The notion that the word feminist is still in use kind of annoys me. Is there a male alternative? Some would argue that we don't need an alternative because the whole world is male orientated anyway. I do think however, that men do have a different set of expectations and pressures though.
Why can't we all just be striving to be able to do what we want (within the realms of legality and morality, I obviously don't mean if you want to punch someone in the head or rob a bank you should be free to do so)?
This brings me to the issue of feminism that most effects me. A wave of feminism who are anti prostitution. Many of those who shout the loudest about the need to end prostitution are 'feminists'. Those who see prostitution as a form of violence against and exploitation of women, and a sign of male dominance over women.
The current battle (and yes, it has turned into some kind of war) regarding the legislation around the criminalisation of paying for sex in Scotland and Ireland is packed full of examples of how some women (and men) feel that all forms of prostitution are wrong, and that all women involved are exploited and the only way to 'save' us is to criminalise our clients. Now, you know my views on this well enough. If not read my previous entries here, here and here.
Many of the anti brigade are known as feminists or are 'Women's Groups'. The kind of feminism that tells me I am exploited pisses me off, what pisses me off more is the use of skewed statistics, anecdotes from badly treated, forced women to portray an entire industry and the implication that those who are 'happy hookers' are damaging the fight to save the abused.
I don't want to sit alongside these feminists thank you very much.
My ideal is that people (whether male or female) should be allowed to do and be what they want. That noone is exploited or at a disadvantage based on their gender (or race or sexual persuasion or, well, anything).
My version of feminism, if I had to sit in a feminist camp is that is means that women are free to make the choices they want to make.
As a quick aside, this blog from Coin operated girl is great!
Have you read this? http://www.minxylydia.com/tours.html
I know I'm not going far, but don't you think this is the perfect opportunity to come and meet me and make me feel good about touring again?
You realise if you don't book me, I shall be sad and put off touring for ever more and then you'll have to come all the way to Hounslow to meet me?!
Do you want that? No, I thought not.
On beauty and photography
I started this post in February after my photoshoot. See here for some of the results and I had a lovely post all written in my head and then I abandoned actually writing it after four words. I did mean to come back to it, but I got sidetracked (mainly by bonking and Angry Birds).
Today, I have finally got back to it!
For me, having my photograph taken is no fun. i don't like it, I'm a lousy model and am super critical of myself. It makes it even more difficult when you're having pictures taken for escorting purposes.
Firstly there is a certain amount of anonymity required. I'm not as paranoid/careful as many women because I'm pretty 'out' with regards to my family and friends, but I'm still not a fan of full on face shots. The hiding of face things makes things much trickier for the photographer- indeed most photographers are used to the face being the focus when taking pictures of people and I'm not a huge fan of the head severed off by cropping look.
Secondly, it's important to get the tone of the photographs right. We all know that the service I am selling is about sex and whilst I prefer to attract men beguiled by my wit, charm and grace (ha ha) I know that the body is important when many men choose a woman.
However, I'm not overly keen on having legs akimbo, flaps out pictures gracing my website. I think many men prefer a little bit of allure and mystery in a woman and quite frankly if a chap is going to pick me on the basis of what my cunt looks like opposed to what it (she?) can do then I'm really not that fussed about seeing such a gentleman.
I am also aware that part of my appeal to some men is that I am on the voluptuous side and have big boobs so therefore I should be proud of my curves (aka fat bits) but I couldn't help part of my brief to the photographer being 'Make me look as thin as possible!'
Fortunately my snapper did not run for the hills at the ridiculousness of this request and did totally get the difference between looking curvy in a flattering sexy way and looking like a lump.
I also fret, and this so isn't fishing for compliments that because the pictures of me do look lovely and are flattering I may actually disappoint when men arrive to see me for the first time. Sometimes they are kind enough to say my pictures don't do me justice or tell me I'm beautiful but sometimes I worry that some men aren't as impressed.
I suppose much of it is the insecurity that most women have about their looks and when you're in a world where women are constantly judged on their looks it's hardly surprising. I use the word 'world' in two contexts.
The escorting world is about looks to a huge degree. You only have to read punting forums to see men discussing what kind of bodies, tummies, legs, boobs, bums, pussies and clit sizes they prefer as well as slating a woman's looks in reports. The following are real quotes taken from escort reviews (all about different women):
"a little heavier than her photos would suggest"
"She's got a long, thin face, and her teeth are long as well, a bit "rodent" like. "
" A pleasant enough woman but a bit of a dog to be honest. The photos are brilliantly taken. The reality is less alluring. "
" her boobs are all falling like an old 60 years old.
"Her boobs, although large, are oddly shaped and she has what looks like a 3" scar below her navel. "
So, you might winder why I struggled with the concept of looking as lovely as possibly but not out to deceive anyone! You might also understand why many women who are escorts are in a perpetual state of worry about their appearance!
I am fairly fortunate that I do know I have my niche based on various things other than just my looks (aside the big tit thing) and I am kind of glad I'm not young, dumb, thin and pretty because those women do get the kind of men who are all about fucking based purely on animal lust (and not in the good way).
The wider 'world' we live in is just as ridiculous when it comes to judging women on their looks, but I shall save that as a separate blog post for later.
And so it came to pass, Lydia had pictures taken, she was rubbish at posing, couldn't smile properly and whinged about looking podgy.
Here's one of the results!
A guide to making me happy
To keep it simple I have made this blog entry visual.
Stargazer Lilies
Kensington Jaunt
Due to an exciting twist of fate I shall be available for bookings close to Kensington High Street tube on 11th and 12th March.
Do be a sweetie and make a booking!
Reading Tour Reminder
Every time I write Reading in relation to my tour it crosses my mind that it could be misinterpreted as me going on a little holiday to catch up on my favourite literature. As much as that appeals, I am in fact going to Reading in Berkshire and will not be hosting any book clubs or reviewing the last few years Booker Prize winners.
I shall be available in Reading after 4pm on 28th February and am there until the Saturday morning (2nd March). I'll be in a town centre hotel, about half a mile from Reading Station- about at ten minute walk! It's a nice big busy hotel, so all very discreet!
If anyone would like to discuss literature with me during a booking I would be very happy to do so. favourite books include:
To Kill a Mockingbird
Gone With The WInd
Life of Pi
Jamaica Inn
The Handmaids Tale
Finally, I would like to remind you that Valentines day is coming up and I shall be all on my ownsome so if you would like to come and woo me with flowers (along with my fee, I'm not that romantic!) and get your cock sucked expertly in return I am taking bookings now. I may even throw in some heart shaped surprises! Go on treat yourself to what every man really wants on Valentines day! Unless of course I get a better offer and am swept off somewhere lovely!
Bad Lydia
I have been very skivey when it comes to blogging as late haven't I?! And worse, I have 3 half written drafts saved on here that I need to finish writing. The reason why? None really, I keep getting distracted by the internet mainly, making social plans, oh and fitting in the odd booking!
I shall get my act together and finish the blogs that I have started and get back into a routine of updating!
First of all though, I have to beat this level of Angry Birds and eat some lunch *wanders off*
March 2020

I think this is revolutionary. Probably the first of a new type of guitar gadget that almost all guitarists would need at one time or another.
Boss Waza-Air
Yep definitely interesting, listen with headphones people from 11:28.
Yeah it looks to be an amazing product. Most likely getting it.
Interesting product, but a bit pricey for my needs ...
I've ordered one.
Apart from using it on its own I am hoping to have a full wireless setup for the kemper. I've already got a wireless guitar connection gizmo from thomann (harley benton).
I think it's a great idea.
I'm unable to use transmitting technology (microwaves, mobile devices, BlueTooth, Wi-Fi etc.), so what does a cat like me do?
It'd be cool if you could programme the presets using an app on your computer (laptop or tower), methinks, and transfer them via a physical USB connection. Then one could simply select them using the buttons on the 'phones.
The headset would need to be able to have all "transmissions" disabled, much as one can do with Wi-Fi modems...
I like the concept and will try one!
I like the concept and will try one!
Report back
The tones from the Boss products are really excellent, and this product is really very cool. But for someone like myself, it misses the mark a bit, and here's why.
When I got my Kemper, I invested in nice set of headphones (nothing elaborate, but about $120). When I'm at home, I don't have much of a use for the Boss product, because I'll just sit by my Kemper and play. Yes, that means I won't be able to go sit on the couch in the other room and play, or to play when I go upstairs to watch the neighbors cat while they are away. But some time ago I bought a $30 Vox Amplug thingy. Now to compare that to this product would be ludicrous.
However, the Vox product does work.
Am I willing to spend another $370 to get better tone when I'm not at home? For me, that's not a good value proposition. For someone who perhaps travels a lot, this might be a better value, but for me it's just too much for my use case.
And I DO LOVE GEAR! So a part of me would like to buy these, but that's a lot of coin for a headphone amp....granted...a really, really good headphone amp.
If it were $200 instead of $400, I probably would buy it anyway even if my use case doesn't directly support that, cuz I love gear!
Looks like a fantastic product though. I don't think I need the feature where you move your head around and it changes the sound.
Todd in Chicago
Yeah, completely agree that the price is a bit steep for what it is.
I will try one before I decide to buy one to see if all that tech is worth the price. For me a very good pair of flat response wireless headphones with no latency would be just fine. Right now I have wireless plugs for my guitar that work perfect but I still have the HP cord hanging around me.
It looks like a cool super portable alternative to a practice amp.
However - I think - and I acknowledge this is devil's advocate talk.... once you've gotten over the novelty of having a virtual amp position itself in virtual space infront of you, and the tone changing with your head position, you'll either switch that stuff off, or sit relatively motionless.
I wonder if we could edit a stereo reverb's early and late reflections to get the amp sound to appear infront behind the Kemper ?
looking forward to your further thoughts.
It is a tricky device to make a video for. There's almost no way to record the output, so the only way is to give a subjective spoken review.
I had a little play of it last night. Will try to do a video in the next day or 2.
I got one of these and it's a great practice tool. The 3D surround stuff is something I tunr off, but BT streaming of jam tracks and the wireless both work fine. It sounds like a Katana but in your head.
Here's my video of conclusions.
TL;DR - it's good
Thanks, Allen. Good job on the video!
Thank you Allen for the very balanced video.
Well, I still want one.
Great stuff stuff Allen thank you.

JUSTICE minister David Hanson is expected to decide whether North Wales will get a prison housing between 500 and 800 inmates early next year.
Two potential sites for a new prison have been put forward by the North Wales Economic Forum, a grouping of private and public sector organisations.
But the forum has not made up its mind whether the new jail should be built on the former Firestone factory site on Wrexham Industrial Estate or on the former Ferodo/Friction Dynamex site on the outskirts of Caernarfon.
The two sites were shortlisted by Delyn MP Mr Hanson in August.
Forum members were told yesterday Mr Hanson had extended the period for representations on the issue to the end of November and he was expected to make up his mind on a new site in January.
Tom Jones, Wales TUC representative, said Bluefield, owners of the Ferodo/Friction Dynamex factory, had put forward plans for a mixed use development on the site
Company bosses said the only viable regeneration of the location was to redevelop it for a mix of commercial, residential, retail, leisure and recreational uses.
But Mr Jones told yesterday's meeting of the Economic Forum at St Asaph said in his opinion that sort of proposed development would be "detrimental to Caernarfon as a town".
Mr Jones said he supported the use of the site for a prison and pointed out that if the UK government were to agree it would pay for the removal of extensive asbestos materials used in the Ferodo factory.
He said that, otherwise, the multi-million pound cost of removing the potentially dangerous asbestos could fall on the Welsh Assembly Government.
Ian Williams, Welsh Assembly Government North Wales director, agreed with him the Caernarfon site, while well fitted for use as a prison, would not be suitable for a hotel and retail development.
The economic forum has said if a new prison is built in Wales then it should be in North Wales, which has none at present, as opposed to South Wales, which already has four.
The group says a new prison at either Wrexham or Caernarfon would help offset the impact of the huge economic downturn on local businesses.
Gwynedd council board has voted in favour to support the idea of a prison on the Ferodo site, although there were some concerns over the lack of detail and risks to the local population.
The council was told a prison housing around 500 inmates could provide 450 direct jobs and pump millions of pounds into the local economy every year.
The idea of building a giant Titan prison, housing 2,500 prisoners, in North Wales has been mooted but has now been dropped. Other sites suggested for a new prison in the region include Llanfairfechan, Anglesey and Denbigh.

The State of Planetary Defense and Asteroid Science is presented by the Asteroid Foundation as part of Asteroid Day programming organized in Luxembourg. We are inviting a select group of journalists to join with Asteroid Day experts and Astronauts for a discussion of the state of planetary science and status of programs and missions to better detect, track, analyze, predict and deflect asteroids.
On 20 June, the Associated Press released the results of a poll conducted by the AP and Norc Center for Public Affairs which found that the US public rated asteroid and comet tracking as the number one priority for NASA, more important than human spaceflight. Updates on all international missions will be discussed, including OSIRIS-REx, Hayabusa2, DART and HERA.
Participating journalists are invited to ask questions and engage in the conversation, which is the aim of Asteroid Day.
Experts Participating in the Briefing:
- Dr. Mark Boslough (US) Chair of the Asteroid Day Expert Panel (ADXP) and expert on planetary impacts. He is a physicist at Los Alamos National Lab, and was the first US scientist to visit the site of the Chelyabinsk airburst, his simulations of the event appearing on the covers of 'Nature" and 'Physics Today.'
- Dr. Ed Lu (US) Physicist and former NASA Astronaut, Ed currently serves as executive director of the Asteroid Institute, a scientific and research organization working closely with the University of Washington, Southwest Research Institute, AGI, Google, and other international academic and science institutions as well as governments to study detect, track, and analyze asteroids. (US)
- Patrick Michel (FR) Planetary scientist with a PhD in Astrophysics, senior researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and leader of the 'Theories and Observations in Planetology' team at the LaGrange Laboratory of the Cote d'Azur Observatory in Nice. He serves as co-investigator of NASA's New Frontiers OSIRIS-REx and JAXA's Hayabusa2, and as PI of the Hera Mission project.
- Marc Serres (Luxembourg) CEO of the Luxembourg Space Agency. He heads the Luxembourg Delegation at the European Space Agency (ESA) and represents Luxembourg in the Council of ESA. He is also the vice-chairman of the ESA Council until June 2020. Previously, he managed Luxembourg's relations with ESA at the Ministry of Higher Education and Research as an industrial policy officer for 8 years. Marc Serres holds a PhD in optoelectronics and a Masters in electrical engineering, specializing in microwave frequencies, both from the Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium.
Asteroid Day was co-founded in 2014, by Dr. Brian May, astrophysicist and lead guitarist for the rock band Queen; Danica Remy, B612 President; Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart; and filmmaker Grig Richters. Asteroid Day is held on 30 June each year to mark Earth's largest asteroid impact in recorded history, the Siberia Tunguska event. In 2016, Asteroid Day was declared by the United Nations as a global day of education to raise awareness about asteroids opportunities and risks and the Asteroid Day Foundation was formed with headquarters in Luxembourg. Global partners include: Association of Space Explorers, B612, OHB SE, SES, BCE, EC GROUP, and Luxembourg Space Agency. Asteroid Day Gala sponsors in 2019 include Tito's Homemade Vodka, Luxaviation and Banque Internationale à Luxembourg.

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – The Fort St. John area can expect a return to near-normal temperatures across the region after a brief warm spell early this week.
Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist says that another chinnok, similar to one that moved through the area two weeks ago, is to blame for the large bump in daytime highs in the Fort St. John area in the past couple of days. Lundquist says that in the next few days, the temperatures in the area will be likely dropping back to more seasonal values for most of the rest of March. He says that on average, overnight lows will hover near -10 degrees, with daytime highs near the freezing mark. He adds that looking forward, Spring in the Energetic City should see temperatures near normal.
Looking at the middle of the month on Wednesday, Lundquist added that though precipitation levels are slightly above average, it isn't the amount of precipitation but rather the frequency. He explained that while the North Peace Airport weather station has recorded 16mm of precipitation so far this month, the weather station has in fact recorded measurable precipitation every single day so far in March. He explains that this is unusual, since March is typically a dry month in the Peace Region.

Cliches are tiresome, especially when their long term effect is negative. In traditional direct sales and retail marketing we focus on the product value statements to convince people to buy a product or service. For many network marketers brief lip service is given to the superior nature of the product before attention is then laser focused on the dough, the benjamins, the opportunity. I believe that is why so many opportunity based products have been hit so hard by the down economy. Where the product based opportunities are flailing, other superior product value based companies are thriving. Summed up, if you are basing your product value on the opportunity instead of better price, quality or efficacy; you are probably using cliches and white lies to sell your opportunity.
I hear it all the time, "These products sell themselves." Nothing sells itself. That is why I love reading Jeffrey Gitomer's sales advice. I buy his books. I read his newsletters. I quote him all the time. He is the bee's knees, he has it going on because he is honest about what sales requires. But I can say that one of the world's best salespeople ignored his own advice on how to succeed in network marketing when he recently responded to an inquiry from one of his readers:
Jeffrey, Last year I joined a multi-level marketing business and I love the products this company is selling. How does one make it in this business and how best can one motivate people to join under him? My life depends on how I make it in this business. People have a belief that they are enriching the people who they join under. Appreciate all the help. Mthamzeli
Mthamzeli, Network marketing, direct selling, and MLM has been under a cloud since 1972. There are a lot of skeptics. There are also a lot of millionaires. Direct selling is not for everyone. And you're going to have to kiss a lot of toads before you can find the prince. That's part of what MLM or direct selling is all about. If you love the product, and you use the product, and you believe in the product, then you have a chance of winning. All you need are three or four good people to find three or four other good people and you will be on the road to success. Best regards, Jeffrey
In network marketing we perpetuate the silly myth that you only need "three or four other good people and you will be on the road to success." Hogwash. Silliness. Untrue and tired. In his book The Little Red Book of Selling, Gitomer says, "Instead of thinking end of month, begin thinking end of time." Why then would this titan of sales philosophy use the same silly cliche that disingenuous network marketers use? I hope it was because he has no real experience with MLM or network marketing and just got a little lazy.
Gitomer's advice he gives to salespeople holds true in MLM and network marketing. Do not think about end of month (or three good people), begin thinking end of time or three good people a quarter, every quarter, until you have racked up enough money that you don't care if you make any more ever again.
Network marketing pays really well when you know how to be consistent and persistent with your efforts. The bigger your group gets, the more time you spend training and motivating. As you start out, you spend almost all of your time prospecting. The rewards are huge when done properly. Nothing in life is ever free, do we really think that people will stay with us after they realized that it is not just about "finding three good people"?
Gitomer starts his advice off correctly when he says, "…you're going to have to kiss a lot of toads before you can find the prince." Where he gets lazy, and he rarely gets lazy in his sales advice, is when he says just find your three. To become a millionaire in network marketing or any profession involving sales, you must constantly be improving your network, finding and developing your team, institute regular training and battling attrition of your sales team and client base.
Network marketing has a high failure rate. Most new businesses do. However, when you loose your shirt in traditional business, you typically don't have anywhere to look but yourself. Not so in network marketing, we blame the company, our upline and the industry as a whole. People may not loose a million dollars but they get embarrassed and waste a lot of time. The real difference is that most businesses do not recruit based on the silly saying that you just have to find your three and you have made it.
Network marketing, MLM or whatever you want to call it rocks. Let's just admit that we need to get better at selling it properly. Let's make our millions without tired and untrue cliches and white lies.

Bonus code activated. Register and get your bonus.
Check the latest Betway Casino promotion codes in the table above. If no code is available, simply click on the "Play Now" button and register from the new window to get the official Betway Casino bonus.
Betway is one of the better known sports betting websites, having launched in 2005. But they've also launched a casino module, allowing gamblers to play a vast selection of Microgaming releases. From there, Betway continuously improved, bringing in more games and software providers. And today, we have a sleek looking website with a great offering of titles! There are a total of eleven available languages. You can make deposits and withdrawals using credit and debit cards, as well as popular e-wallets like Skrill, Trustly and Neteller. There's a €10 minimum deposit which applies to all payment methods. Withdrawals can take up to a day for e-wallets, or 1-3 business days for credit and debit cards.
The casino lists the RTPs for all available games in an easy to access list. That way, you know exactly what you're getting into before you start playing! Betway also allows for Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) providers to step in if you're dissatisfied with the casino's ruling. eCOGRA is available to all players whose complaint is regarding the casino. Betway also has multiple licenses, but its primary ones are the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) and Malta's Gaming Authority (MGA).
We're not entirely sure what's going on with Betway's games. It seems to only display games made by Microgaming and its partner studios when you search through its library. But every now and then, you come across a release made by another developer: like NetEnt's Starburst! Best we can tell, there are a total of 390 slots scattered between the slots and retro slots categories. And while the website lacks the diversity of software providers its rivals offer, you shouldn't scoff at it. After all, Microgaming fans will greatly appreciate its vast collection of releases, both modern and nostalgic.
Another area Betway excels at is in its table games selection. There's 19 in total, with generally little overlap. Roulette, blackjack, poker, baccarat, and Sic Bo are all available to be played anytime you like. In fact, blackjack and roulette have their own categories, which have even more variants than what's offered in the table games section. Finally, under the Other category, you will be able to find Keno, Bingo, and several scratchcard releases.
One place where Microgaming primacy doesn't seem to reach is the live casino section. That said, Betway seem to have forgotten to disable single player games from appearing within the categories. So when you open Other, you'll see Evolution Gaming's Deal or No Deal, MONOPOLY Live and Dream Catcher… alongside some single player scratch cards. We imagine this is an easy fix, so we won't hold it against the casino. Not when it offers such a great selection of Evolution Gaming's finest releases, as well as NetEnt's live roulette and blackjack for some variety.
It seems that you can easily access and play on your mobile device without any downloads! Still, if you prefer having an app handy, one is available for both iOS and Android. Once you're logged in, you'll be able to play on whichever device you prefer.
Betway Casino is operated on Microgaming, delivering exciting games with great progressive jackpots. With over 75 themed slot games to choose from and over 15 jackpots, Betway Casino delivers the excitement any player would expect. Games are available to play from the web browser, with no need to download a software.
Betway Casino is licensed in United Kingdom and Malta, a jurisdiction under the European Union, which allows them to accept players from numerous countries around the world. The main business address is 9 Empire Stadium Street, Gzira GZR 1300, Malta.
Players will find friendly support at Betway Casino, ready to help in over 15 languages, while deposits and withdrawals are processed with a diversity of options and currencies to please the most exigent user.

Comrades '19 – T-9 – Grinch
I know hate is a strong expression of feeling, but damn I hate the effort required – whether real or just perceived – in staying healthy for raceday.
I know it's a common and much laughed at feeling among endurance athletes to be extra vigilant about staying healthy approaching raceday, but that doesn't make our largely anti-social behavior any more palatable to our poor family and friends that must endure it during that time.
I feel like the resident village grinch. I'm OCD at the best of times and not that fond of engaging in close quarters with people I suspect to be ill, but that paranoia is dialed up to a 10 on the Richter scale one week out.
Just a couple of my laughable personal behavior changes include:
Turning handshakes into fist pumps.
Hugs – only if I feel absolutely necessary are executed with head tilted outwards to the side.
Cutlery taken from a communal rack is closely inspected and sometimes rinsed in a mug of boiling water if I feel its cleanliness is at all questionable
Trips to shops and the necessity to use cash or card machines are my worst. Just imagine how many sickly human hands may have potentially handled those mediums of exchange? If at all possible I hold items up to the cashier and let them scan them in my hands. Tap and pay cards, Zapper and Snapscan are my current best friends.
Where I can't engineer the situation to avoid any contact, the application of anti-bacterial gel follows immediately I'm out of sight of the individual I've just interacted with so as to be polite and avoid casting aspersions on their personal cleanliness. It's ME afterall, not them, and lastly
Hand-washing frequency is off the wazzoo
I often chuckle to myself as I carry out many of these ridiculous practices but console myself that if they give me just a 10% better chance of getting to raceday healthy, then the relatively short period of odd behavior was definitely worth it.
My absolute worst though, is not being able to kiss the beautiful faces of my wife and daughters. Gabi – our seven-year-old has been carrying a cold for the last 3 weeks odd. I've worked hard at trying to get her better with regular saline nose washes, multi-vits, a nebulizer for her cough and other assorted meds. But despite those efforts the little tyke still has a snotty nose that has forced me into less physical contact and many blown kisses.
My lovely wife also developed a nasty cough which had me sleeping a few nights in a separate bed in the cottage – just to be safe.
Somehow the people you love most often get sick during this May month and changing of the seasons making it just that much more difficult.
When my Mum said to me last night "I hope this is your last Comrades (it will be my 5th) so your long-suffering wife doesn't have to endure your ridiculous anxieties again", it did highlight to me what a horrible part of ultramarathon events the last few weeks are.
So just 9 more days of this stupidity, and then maybe even more gratifying then my medal, will be eating with my hands, shaking hands with everyone I see, and kissing those lovely faces until they beg me to stop.

I'm tired a lot at the moment, but I get stage fright when it's time to go to sleep.
I lay in bed, reading or looking at the endless wonders of the Internet.
My eyes start to get heavier and my body starts being absorbed by the mattress.
And then I realise that I'm beginning to fall asleep.
That's it, my heart starts racing, my eyes are wide and my bed starts to feel like a wooden board.
I started taking some standard pharmacy sleeping pills, they worked for a while but gave me a hungover feeling.
A herbal tea worked really well.. But the last time I drank it, it kicked in late and I was drowsy all day.
Sometimes I imagine relaxing situations.
I used to picture my perfect bedroom, the bed, the view, the design and the feel of the sheets.
And then I'd think about getting into the imaginary bed in the made up room, and I'd feel myself fall asleep.
That stopped working after a little while, so I came up with something new
I imagined I was like a leaf falling from a tall tree, spiralling through the forest on the wind.
I floated down a river for a while and settled on a sandy bank.
That works nicely.. but it takes a long time.
I'm tired a lot at the moment, but I get stage fright when it's time to go to sleep.

Kombini tells the story of two clowns who get their big break entertaining at a children's birthday party, however with multiple slapstick incidents threatening to derail their performance, the pair must work together to succeed in their quest for fame. Beautifully executed and sweet, each sketch is filled with magic and whimsy, with world-class juggling and acrobatics interspersed throughout the performance. The choreography is simple but perfectly executed, as the clowns move with one another in beautifully fluid harmony. Each acrobatic trick looks effortless which is a testament to the incredible strength and agility of the performers. Both clowns are able to communicate among one another and with the audience in their own special language which only makes their interactions even more hilarious. Without ever saying a word, they bring the audience joy, laughter and allow them to feel deep empathy, a skill that is not always achieved in such a genuine way. Bright and vivid colours are used throughout the performance from the costumes to the bright red balloons helping build on the show's cheerful atmosphere. Succeeding in its endeavour to change the common fear of clowns into love, Kombini is an incredibly sweet and heartwarming piece of theatre and circus.

This is the first in a series of posts featuring the longest-term employees of AerSale®. In celebrating the company's 10-year anniversary, we'll highlight what each of them remembers looking back and what they see for the company going forward.
Ask Sandra anything about AerSale and you will feel positive energy and hear the excitement in her voice. She's been with the company since May 2009, when the number of employees could be counted on one hand. Today, that number has grown to more than 350 at 10 facilities spanning every region of the world, but Sandra maintains that the family environment more often associated with a small mom-and-pop shop endures.
"We take a lot of pride in everything we do," she says. "When we add to the organization, whether through a new facility or a new side of the business, we welcome everybody, as if they've been here since Day One."
In those early days, the AerSale office was quiet. After all, how much noise can five people really make? The original team included owners Nick Finazzo and Bob Nichols, an office manager, a vice president of engine trading and leasing, and Sandra. Her mother's best friend happened to share an office suite on the same floor as AerSale, which at that time was located on the 11th floor of their current building. Noticing the new business, the friend popped in one day and simply asked what they did. Learning they were "an aviation-related company," she offered the tidbit that her best friend's daughter had just graduated with a Master's in aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Within days, the friend dropped off Sandra's resume. They called. Sandra arrived for a quick interview and landed a job in the aircraft leasing side of the industry—an area previously unfamiliar to the aviation school grad.
She was intrigued by the startup and the work she was embarking upon. But Sandra was also astute enough to realize how fortunate she was to be able to work with and literally next to the history-making team of Nick and Bob. They had achieved great success with AeroTurbine, which they helped take public, and later sold. Working side-by-side with two of the most respected professionals in the field was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity she couldn't turn down. With their knowledge and skill base, these guys were going to make history again. She knew it.
"They never said no," she remembers. "They always allowed me to ask questions. Even repeat the same questions if I needed a bit more clarification. I was in a unique position to learn directly from them."
As with any startup, there are bigger questions. Where is the company actually headed? Are we really going to get somewhere? Sandra recalls Bob offering simple advice: Just be patient. It's going to happen. Lo and behold, it did.
The team had been evaluating transactions and doing their due diligence in an effort to acquire certain asset packages. Finally, they were awarded a contract from UPS. That was the turning point Sandra remembers, realizing AerSale was about to take off. That contract delivered 136 engines to AerSale and launched almost immediate rapid growth. The young company boomed, adding infrastructure, new locations such as Roswell, and more talent including Sandra's current-day boss and aviation industry super star, Iso Nezaj. She was offered the chance to work with the budding technical team, seized the opportunity wholeheartedly, and has thrived on the ensuing multitude of transactions and exposure to different projects.
When asked to identify her favorite memories from the past 10 years, Sandra conveys that it's a challenge because there are so many. Two ultimately make the cut: winning bid packages for NASA along with winning government contracts and supporting the U.S. Marshals. She finds supporting the government and all they do very rewarding and satisfying, and adds it is especially gratifying to build those relationships and work alongside them to provide the customer care they need and deserve.
AerSale may claim her professional heart, but the company also supports what Sandra calls her "other career". A former Embry-Riddle volleyball athlete, she coaches a USA Volleyball travel team of 16-year-old girls, that finished in the top 10 in the nation last year. It's an opportunity she cherishes and finds empowering. As the only female in her department, she is uniquely able to encourage and influence young minds, especially girls, and serve as a role model for pursuing a dream and attaining it. She loves the mentorship she provides as the girls learn volleyball in tandem with valuable life lessons. If she's able to inspire them to go after whatever they want and seek higher education (especially in the world of engineering!), she's happy to be involved.
There's no doubt Sandra is a valued colleague and technical whiz, handling special engineering projects, avionics modifications, supplemental type certificates, and much more, but she sums up her AerSale tenure very graciously. "I've never felt like just another name on the employee roster. Nothing will ever come close to everything I've been able to do here. That's very special to me."

A Luxurious Heritage Retreat in Paradise
Our accommodation for the Meditation Confluence in Kerala, India
The Confluence will be held at the gorgeous Kumarakom Lake Resort. Kumarakom sits on the serene banks of the emerald backwaters of Lake Vembanad, India's longest lake.
The resort is an idyllic representation of Kerala's architectural and cultural heritage, making it the perfect location for the Confluence. It reflects my goal: to share that which is authentic. I believe this serene and magical property, which was built to reflect the authentic and traditional architecture of the area, is an ideal setting to share the authentic teachings of meditation and yoga.
Brought back to life
This lake front property stretches across 25 acres with a cluster of traditional manas – Kerala homes of the 16th century – that were procured from villages and estates in Kerala, carefully dismantled and then meticulously reassembled in order to preserve the original features and wood carvings. The architecture of the entire property features and compliments these traditional buildings and styles from the reception area, to the cottages, to the eight sided restaurant known as an "ettukettu," which means an eight-sided mansion.
Enjoy your morning tea as you sit on the verandah of your Keralan villa, watching local fisherman row out into the lake in their traditional Keralan long boats through the morning mist of the lake. Coconut trees sway in the warm breeze blowing in from the Arabian Sea adding a touch of green to the blue Indian sky. Waking up in the morning has never been so enchanting!
