Tips for writing copy that converts by Joel Klettke
• Customer driven copy, what does that mean, exactly?
• It's amazing how saying the same thing but slightly different clicks a whole different set of switches in somebody's brain.
• You can never trust one data source on its own. You have to look at multiple sources to get the real story.
• Both of those clients just saw great results because they were open-minded and open to being wrong. Too many businesses are defensive, they're scared.
• I used to get a ton of pushback about doing the research, doing the homework. People said, "Just write the thing."
• One of the things that you cannot be a great conversion copywriter and have a huge ego
• But copy remains I think for way too many businesses an afterthought
• Case studies are one of those things that everybody needs, most people know they need.
• But I truly believe if we're going to exist as a company five years from now, we have to be a video first company.

Joel Klettke on writing copy that converts into sales
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Doug: Well, welcome back listeners, another episode of Real Marketing Real Fast. Today, I am pleased to have joining me in the studio, another fellow Canadian Joel Klettke. Now, Joel is an interesting guy. He is a copywriter, but if you read his bio on his Twitter account, it says "pray for your competitors, after you hire me they'll need it." So, he is a conversion specialist, and a copywriter, and a consultant to B2B businesses. He is the founder of Casual Copywriting.
One of the articles I read on Joel prior to inviting him and having him on my show was a case study that he did for a company named HubSpot, so I'm sure you've all heard of HubSpot. The case study was how a customer driven copy helped HubSpot increase their conversion by nearly 100%. So if you want to know how Joel helped HubSpot increase their conversion and how they can help you and increase the conversion of your landing pages and sales pages and all the online marketing tactics that you use, I would suggest that you tune in.
If you stay at the very end, we're going to have a discussion about something new that Joel's doing that I think is really cool, that you may find interesting as well. He started a new venture called Case Study Buddy and what he does is he works with businesses and he manages the entire process of building out case studies for you to use both internally and externally for your marketing.
So, with that said, I'd like you to join me in welcoming Joel to the Real Marketing Real Fast Podcast today. Hey, Joel, I'm super excited to talk to you today, for a couple reasons. First of all, I love copy and copywriting. But more importantly, I like copy that converts. I couldn't help but notice your introduction that you have in your Twitter account. It says, "Pray for your competitors after you hire me." So, it should be a great conversation and as well as what you're doing with case studies.
I had a guest on a while ago saying, "Hey, If can give you a tip to get your business fired up, you should make sure to do case studies early." So, here we are talking to you. So, welcome to the Real Marketing Podcast.
Joel Klettke: Yeah, thank you so much

In this Paris neighborhood
I read a book on The Resistance
to strengthen my poor French.
As I close the book the sun starts to set
"Two scoops," I tell the vendor, "it's the best
way to ward off despair"—and generous
he is, loading the cone full and high.
my wife cooked another magnificent
supper and a poet hundreds of miles
away said in an interview that poets
would never be famous as Hollywood
Stars and I erased almost everything
I wrote for the day pleased to surrender

What Law Firms Near Me Have to Say About Infotainment System Hazards
Do you know what an infotainment system hazard is? You may not realize this, but if you have a car model that is dated in this decade, chances are you are utilizing this type of system every day. The experts at Injury Assistance Law Firm is here to ensure that you have all the information you need to keep you protected. Trust our personal injury attorney Orlando firm to help! We are located near Orlando. You will never need to google the phrase "best law firms near me" again!
So, What is an Infotainment System?
Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) is an auto industry term that refers to vehicle systems that combine entertainment and information delivery to drivers and passengers. IVI systems use audio/video (A/V) interfaces, touchscreens, keypads and other types of devices to provide these types of services.
IVI systems typically include A/V features and two-way communications tools, including standard radio and CD players, as well as hands-free phone connections, vehicle voice commands and other types of interactive audio or video. Many IVI systems include rear-seat DVD capability that allows passengers to watch movies and other visual media.
Another major IVI component is mobile device connectivity. Newer vehicles have a range of systems that allow devices like iPhones/smartphones and laptops to connect to a vehicle for passenger use. Many IVIs also have security features that prevent drivers from using any video services or other distracting system elements.
Law Firms Near Me Discuss Hazards
It has been well-documented that using a smartphone while driving is a dangerous form of distracted driving. Most drivers presume that using their newer dashboard infotainment system is safer. But that is not necessarily true, according to research from AAA's Foundation for Traffic Safety.
Tests showed that some of the car makers' native touchscreen systems involved more menus and greater amounts of text, all of which increase the demand on a drivers' attention. Some systems varied also in terms of which features are locked out when the vehicle is in motion.
Use common sense. Infotainment systems are becoming increasingly integrated with new car models, but they can still be a significant cause of distracted driving. Like mobile phone use, it is best to err on the side of caution, and not employ these technologies while driving.
Trust Our Personal Injury Attorney Orlando Residents
When it comes to staying safe with infotainment systems, "law firms near me" are here to help. We are the ones to turn to in order to keep you safe on the roads.

The housing company GWH is building a 20-storey residential tower on Lyoner Strasse 40 in the Lyon district (formerly the office town of Niederrad). GWH Wohnungsgesellschaft Hessen, a subsidiary of Landesbank Hessen-Thuringen, bought the current office buildings, Lyoner Strasse 38 and 40.
Deutsche Hospitality (formerly Steigenberger Hotel Group) used to have its headquarters in the 20-storey office tower with 12,785 square meters of gross floor space. Meanwhile, however, the company has moved into an office building opposite. In December 2017, the restructuring of 150 privately financed apartments has begun and is expected to be completed in the autumn of 2019. In the new residential tower then predominantly two-room apartments are provided, which should remain for rent in the GWH inventory.
The new residential tower is called Ruby Tower and includes in particular 2 bedroom apartments for rent. The property offers open floor plans, generous windows and optional views of the Frankfurt skyline, the city forest or the Taunus hills.
On the 1.1 hectare neighboring property (Lyoner Strasse 38 and 38a), the office buildings located there are demolished. For the fall of 2019, the start of construction is planned for further new housing. The completed purchase of the property also includes the parking garage behind the current office tower, which will also be demolished to make room for new apartments. Overall, GWH intends to realize around 160 sales apartments with parking spaces on the site.
The seller of the original real estate to GWH is the Garbe Group from Hamburg, which according to reports had acquired the properties in 2015.
Status March 2019: The dismantling work has been completed, in the interiors began with the drywall work. At the same time, the façade works are currently underway.
Status January 2018: The deconstruction work (gutting and facade removal) began in December 2017. The start of actual construction is planned for March 2018. The completion of the high-rise residential building, with 150 rental apartments, is expected for fall 2019. The high-rise residential building will be converted by GWH Wohnungsgesellschaft, while GWH Bauprojekte, as a subsidiary, will take over project management. The condominiums are still in the planning phase; these are built and marketed by the GWH construction projects. The architecture was designed by Stefan Forster Architekten.
Status: August 2017: No building activity has been identified. Further details (such as blueprints) were requested from GWH Hessen.

Further details about the Vanadium Redox Flow Battery
The Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRB) used at the ' t Spieker Photon Farmer project at Vierakker has two poles, just like a normal battery. The system consists of two vessels filled with a vanadium-based liquid electrolyte. One side is negatively charged, the other is positive. The liquid is pumped through electrochemical cells where it either acquires or delivers a charge, depending on whether the battery needs charging or discharging. The main benefit of the VRB is its longevity. The manufacturer claims that it can operate for at least 12,000 charge-discharge cycles before battery capacity starts to deteriorate. Other rechargeable batteries have much shorter operational lifetimes, and cannot withstand deep discharge conditions (something that is not a problem for the VRB). Accordingly, VRBs can be expected to run for around fifteen years without any loss of performance. At the end of this period the vanadium needs to be replenished, after which the battery can be used for another fifteen years. In addition, the vanadium can be recycled, and battery capacity remains at optimum levels up to the very end of its operational lifetime. This, together with a smart monitoring and control system, gives the best possible yields from solar energy. A small computer controls the VRB's behaviour, directing the charging and discharging processes to make the best use of the solar power generated and of the link with the national power grid.

There are so many options available in the marketplace these days and among them, Hewlett Packard is one of the most renowned brands. From Deskjet & Office Jet to Photosmart Printer, there are wide ranges of printers you can find out there. But, the chances of getting technical faults are high at one point, especially when you do not pay much attention to its maintenance. To get rid of such problems, it is wise to follow Hewlett Packard printers troubleshooting steps to solve the issue efficiently.
There are numerous issues a user can face while using HP Printer such as connectivity issue, setup problem, the problem facing during HP Deskjet printer install, but the most frustrating is an issue in the Ink cartridge. Have you ever faced a situation like you just refill the HP printer's ink, but the device is showing the low-ink error message? If yes, and if you want to get rid of this error then the below-mentioned troubleshooting steps will surely help you out.
Before moving to the troubleshooting steps, there is something you need to know about HP Printer Ink Cartridge. However, it is extremely an easy process to refill your HP printer, but expecting that your printer is working with the same proficiency in quite a doubtful task. There are some contacts present in the back of the cartridge which is specially programmed to check the ink level, but they are unable to reset the printing device just because you add the ink. This you have to do on your own.
There are numerous ink problems you can face which provide an adverse effect on your printing jobs including, the cartridges won't work in the printing device, leakage in ink cartridges, clogged in print holes, and more. Problems maybe many but solution are two- either to follow the HP printer troubleshooting steps or by taking help from a reliable support service in your area. It is advised that if the issue is common then fixing it on your own is most considerable because it not only saves your crucial time but saves your money as well. And if, the situation is worst then taking support service is definitely a wise decision.
Apart from this, if your HP printer is showing the low-ink error message even when you just add some more ink, then you simply reset the ink levels for the printer. Once you successfully reset the ink levels, then you are able to check whether the ink cartridge is genuinely empty or not. If indeed it is empty, then you need to replace the old cartridge with the new one.
Here, are the troubleshooting steps of resetting the ink cartridge on your HP Deskjet printer:
Step1: Switch off your printing device. Restart the device and this time connects it with your personal devices like computer or laptop by using the USB cable.
Step2: Go to the "Start" menu on your computer then open the Control Panel section and click the double tap on "Printer and Faxes" section.

Retrospective Analysis of Immediate In-Brace Correction of Scoliosis Attainable in Patients with AIS
PI: Patrick Knott, PhD, PA-C Rosalind Franklin College of Health Professions
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is treated in several ways, beginning with physical therapy and bracing, and then utilizing surgical correction if necessary. The effectiveness of bracing has been debated for many years, and there are few research studies that can provide a clear picture of how a brace influences the final magnitude of the curve, its rate of progression, or the reduction in surgical treatment needed after bracing. A 2007 evidence-based review article found no clear advantage to bracing over observation in reducing the need for scoliosis surgery(1). However, the article highlighted the lack of uniformity in the studies it reviewed, and the high variability in the outcomes that it pooled.
As these broad questions are evaluated, there are several focused questions that can be answered. The first question would be, how much curve correction can be expected from a brace while it is being worn? If bracing treatment is to be evaluated, then one must first be able to distinguish effective from ineffective bracing. There is no reason to evaluate the outcome of ineffective braces. So there must be a standard set as to the amount of immediate curve correction that a brace delivers before any brace treatment can be labeled as effective or ineffective. This study will attempt to develop that standard by collecting pre- and post-brace radiographs and measuring the amount of correction that is routinely achieved. Other authors have outlined the appropriate criteria for evaluating brace effectiveness, but have not included immediate in-brace correction of the curve in their list of outcome measures(2). The amount of in-brace correction of the scoliosis that can be obtained in a well constructed brace has a strong influence on whether the treatment will be successful. The goal of this study is to evaluate the radiographs of patients who have just had a brace applied, and to determine the amount of correction that is routinely
Methods and Materials
For this study, a population of European physicians who are very skilled at scoliosis bracing will be recruited to submit pre- and post-bracing radiographs of their patients. These will be submitted electronically to the researchers who will ensure that they are properly de-identified and coded for tracking purposes. American physicians who are experienced in measuring scoliosis radiographs will then measure these to determine the magnitude of the scoliosis Cobb angles before and after the application of the brace.
The percent correction will be calculated using these two measurements.
If lateral radiographs are available, then the thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis will also be measured using the Cobb Angle technique.
Inclusion Criteria
The physicians will be asked to submit radiographs of patients who meet the following
• They have Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis as determined by the Scoliosis
Research Society Criteria.
• They will be between the ages of 10 and 18 years, and be at a Risser Stage of 0 to 2.
• Their scoliosis Cobb Angle will be greater than 20 degrees.
• The radiographs represent the first bracing treatment that the patient has ever received.
• Brace treatment will include rigid orthoses only, and not dynamic braces.
Exclusion Criteria
Once patient radiographs have met the inclusion criteria and have been submitted for this study, they will only be excluded if the radiographs are of such poor quality that they are not able to be confidently measured by the American physicians.
Analysis of Variables
The research data will be stratified in order to accurately make a conclusive and effective brace correction standard. The sub-groups will be based on Risser stage, curve magnitude before treatment, primary vs. secondary curves, gender, region of the spine (high thoracic, thoracic, thoracolumbar, and lumbar) and European region of the treatment center (by country).
Sample Size/Power Analysis
The average Cobb Angle of a patient beginning brace treatment for AIS is 25 degrees and at least 50% of this should be corrected by the brace. If an alpha level of 0.05 is selected and this study wants to be able to show a difference between pre- and postbracing measurement, then the sample size must be larger than 27 patients (using G*power statistical software, version 3.0). Since this is a retrospective study that poses no risk to patients, a larger sample size of more than 200 patients will be the goal.
The goal of this study is to produce a standard for bracing that delineates the amount of correction of the scoliosis curve that should be able to be obtained using a rigid orthotic.
Risk to Patients
The only risk to patients would be the loss of confidentiality of their medical record. To protect them from this risk, all radiographs will be de-identified and given a research code number. HIPAA laws from the United States will be followed at all times, and submission of images from patients in Europe will also comply with local laws in each country.
Benefit to Society
The benefit of this study is to set a standard for immediate in-brace correction of a scoliosis curve that can be used by future researchers to help determine whether bracing is an effective treatment for this condition.
Study Location
Data will be collected from Scoliosis centers around Europe, where doctors will select the radiographs of patients from their practice. The X-rays will be placed in an online dropbox, accessible only to the primary investigator. The X-rays will then be measured by American spine surgeons and radiologists who are experienced in treating scoliosis.
Financial Considerations
The financial considerations will be small- radiographs will be submitted electronically to a dropbox where they can be obtained by the researchers. The investigators and contributing physicians will participate without compensation. The cost of the electronic dropbox is minimal, and will be paid by the primary investigator.
The scoliosis centers will be identified over the next 2 months, and the database will be constructed. Retrospective collection of radiographs will then be completed over the next 4 months. Finally, measurements will be taken by physicians in the US over the final 2 months, to complete the study in under one year.

Nurx Launches Home HPV Screening Test
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Nurx, the consumer health and telemedicine company, today introduced its Home HPV Screening test, which allows women to conveniently and affordably check their risk for cervical cancer from the comfort of their own home. The Home HPV Screening test is yet another example of how Nurx is removing barriers to care, making it easy for people to get the information they need to make better decisions about their health.
"Nurx's Home HPV Screening test provides women with vital information to help inform their healthcare decisions, but from the convenience of their own home," said Nurx CEO and co-founder Hans Gangeskar. "We believe that everyone deserves to have easy and affordable access to this important information in order to potentially lower their risk for cervical cancer. Nurx is a patient-first company and we're committed to breaking down health care barriers by offering high-quality care that is both convenient and affordable."
Nurx's Home HPV Screening test checks for high-risk strains of HPV that can lead to cervical cancer, which nearly 13,000 women are diagnosed with each year and is one of the most preventable types of cancer. HPV is the most commonly transmitted STI, with nearly 80 million Americans currently infected with the virus. While the majority of strains are considered low-risk, nearly 80 percent of sexually active people contract HPV at some point in their lives.*
After answering a few questions about their medical history, Nurx's medical team will determine if a patient is an appropriate candidate for the home test. The testing kit will then be delivered to the patient's home, where they will complete a simple vaginal swab and send the sample back to the lab in a pre-paid envelope. Within a few days, Nurx's medical team will reach out to the patient to discuss their results. Nurx's Home HPV Screening test meets recently updated guidelines, which now offers HPV testing as an appropriate alternative to a pap smear.
Committed to giving patients full control of their health, Nurx also offers prescriptions for birth control and the HIV prevention medication PrEP. Last year, Nurx introduced a Home PrEP test kit, allowing people to complete all of the required and recommended lab work to determine if they are eligible to receive the HIV prevention medication - from their home. Since the company began offering the test kit, Nurx has seen a tenfold increase in the request for PrEP and is now the leading online provider of the HIV prevention medication.
"Our goal is to provide women with freedom and control over their healthcare, along with the information they need to make healthcare choices," said Nurx Clinical Development Director Jessica Horwitz. "Understanding their risk for cervical cancer is one of those vital choices we are now providing access for - especially for women that may not live near a health clinic or have health insurance."
Nurx's Home HPV Screening tests are available in 20 states and the District of Columbia. Patients can learn more and request the home test at www.nurx.com/hpv-screening.
About Nurx
Nurx is a telemedicine company offering easy online access to medical providers and seamless delivery of medications and home testing kits. We put you in control of your own health, empowering you to get the care you need, when you need it. From diagnosis to delivery, we make every part of getting healthy and staying healthy, better.

Condolence Messages
My deep felt condolences to the family and friends of Lisa. She will be missed by all who Love her. Her memory will live on in my heart forever.
Her cousin Blair
My condolences to the family and friends of Lisa. Sadly we did not meet Lisa, however Her cousin Blair, my Fianc
My prayers and condolences to her family and friends . I will remember the fun we had as children forever ,and will miss her , her cousin Susan
I was lucky enough to become friends with Lisa years ago when she worked with my brother. There are people that forever touch your lives and you will always remember them…she was one of those people. Lisa had such a wonderful personality and will be missed.
Today I sit back and think of many good thoughts and memories of years ago. Lisa and I were friends years ago working at Duke. When we went to work in different areas I truly missed her then and over the years lost contact. Seeing her a few months back was like old times. Today I think of you and your family and how much we will all miss Lisa. She was a wonderful loving person with a blessed soul and will never be forgotten.
She will surely be missed in the Hearts of all who loved her, and she will never be forgotten. My Condolences to all friends & Family.
I remember our times together when we were young wrestling with other cousins at aunt Irma's house. Lisa could get the best of Eddie and I, she was a tough cookie. I regret not having more time to spend together as we grew older. The times I remember now are precious and I will treasure them always. Lisa had such a sweet spirit and a love for life, family and friends. I will miss her dearly.
Cousin Andy
Lisa's zest for life was evident in the relationships that she built with the people that she knew. When I got married nearly 17 years ago, she was my first new friend as a married person and the times we were able to spend together were not only blessings, but memories that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I am so thankful to have had her friendship through the years. She is one that we would hang out with until ghastly hours in the morning and I would be hating how tired I was the next day, but in hindsight, I do not regret those sleepless nights we would spend hanging out with Lisa and Gary. We would plan to leave and would not get around to doing it until a few hours later! She loved my cats and I hope that God has given her custody of my cat, Pumpkin that is in heaven. I know all of the people in heaven are enjoying the experience a bit better since Lisa got there as not only are they blessed with such an awesome person, they get to now eat the best hamburgers in the universe! My thoughts and prayers are and will continue to remain with Gary, Linda and Samantha and really the entire Grinstead/ Massey family.
After marrying Andy I got the privilege to meet Lisa. Even though I only got to see her a few times she left an impression in my life of a wonderful, kind,and sweet spirited person. She always had a smile and welcomed me and JT into the family with open arms. I will always remember Lisa for her Christ like love she had for everyone.
Gary and Sam, Our hearts go out to you. We were out of town on business and when we returned home we got the paper from Roxboro and read about your sad news. Please know our prayers are with you. Rob Cindy and Nicholas

The current GTOs, set to expire on August 22, 2017, will not be immediately renewed. Transactions closing between August 23, 2017 and September 21, 2017 do not have to be reported to FinCEN. There will be no requirement to obtain information about the identity of Beneficial Owners of purchasing business entities for transactions closing during that period.
Title company employees should consult with their management as to how the company will deal with this interim time period and how it will affect your company's procedures.
FinCEN will issue new GTOs effective September 22, 2017. The new GTO's will include the same terms as the current GTOs with the following additions:
FinCEN's GTOs require all title insurers and title insurance agents to report certain information about "Covered Transactions."
To qualify as a "Covered Transaction," the purchaser must be a business entity such as a corporation, LLC or partnership and acquire residential property without obtaining an institutional mortgage. GTOs are limited to defined geographic areas and transactions meeting purchase price thresholds.
Any questions about the Orders should be directed to the FinCEN Resource Center at 800-767-2825.
Frequently asked questions regarding these GTOs are available here.

Can I see hours of the day as well?
I can see that hours breakdown can be important for many people, some schedules' are mainly meetings driven.
But I have always stayed away from it because I couldn't find a way to implement it elegantly in the previous design / layout. Now it seems that I could allow users to change modes (hours breakdown, or lists).
I will think about it. Please bear in mind that it won't be implemented any time soon (if ever) since I am working on other priorities for WeekPlan at the moment. So if you believe the lack of hours breakdown is a deal breaker for you, you should look for another solution. "Sunrise" sounds like a great calendar.
Great app. Just signed up, and really like what you've built.
I too would love this functionality. I currently use a task manager to compile and categorize all my tasks. When I plan my week, I have an Excel template that I use, that breaks each day into blocks - I just use Morning, Afternoon, and Evening. I then put tasks into those blocks. It generally doesn't matter to me what time I do my tasks - but being able to see them that way is helpful, at least for me. I figured out how to do this with tags, but having the ability to see them all at once would be nice. One possible way to implement might be to allow some number of user-defined blocks to break up a day. People could use these for whatever works for them. For example, people who work in an office might want a 'lunchtime' block.
Agree Sunrise is good for those that want a more traditional calendar app. I use it to pull together data from multiple accounts and it works great.
Yes I could introduce the concept of user defined "lanes" (coming from kanban methodology).
Also would like to show my appreciation for the great work you've done Aymeric!! I've just found WeekPlan and I already love it!!
I'd also like to request the hours of the day be visible. And on top of that, if it's possible to physically stretch the tasks on screen to fill out however many hours they will take. It would give very visual feedback on the time allocation of the day.
I am looking at new ways to show the tasks and events of a day.
Integrating Week Plan with Google Calendar allows you to see the hours of the day by switching over to the google calendar app and selecting the weekly or daily view . They work together and synchronize so its perfect! LOVE this!! After searching for years and trying so many different systems, this it for me!!

Tag: Eckhart Tolle
'The Bedsit Epiphany' by Oliver Burkeman, THE GUARDIAN (UK) – on Eckhart Tolle
The Bedsit Epiphany – By Oliver Burkeman, THE GUARDIAN (UK) – Eckhart Tolle – b. February 16, 1948 (68 in 2016!)
Eckhart Tolle, Oprah Winfrey's favourite guru, has sold more books than almost any other spiritual author.
Eckhart Tolle – new insights about him?
Some very interesting information about Eckhart Tolle.
I don't think it changes the high esteem in which I hold him.
I still want to know about where the money goes and about those who manage his operation.
NB Some of the 'cult watchers' seem willing to rubbish anything and anyone – this would probably include saints and prophets!
Alternatives to 'resting in awareness' – Rupert Spira and Eckhart Tolle
Alternatives to 'resting in awareness' – Rupert Spira and Eckhart Tolle
Rupert Spira in answer to a questioner says;
"To 'take one's stand as Awareness' would perhaps be better phrased as 'understand or see clearly that you are Awareness and be that knowingly.'"
SOURCE http://non-duality.rupertspira.com/read/taking_our_stand_as_awareness
Rupert's teaching here is of course close to Eckhart Tolle's focus on 'living in the now'
'The Power of Now and the End of Suffering'
Tami Simon, of 'Sounds True', interviewed Eckhart Tolle. Tami asks some great questions that evoke interesting material concerning awakening and Tolle's 'restructuring of his self' event;
'The Power of Now and the End of Suffering' – By Tami Simon
For two years, a small man sits quietly on a park bench. People walk by, lost in their thoughts. One day someone asks him a question. In the weeks that follow there are more people and more questions. Word spreads that the man is a "mystic," and has discovered something that brings peace and meaning into our lives. It sounds like fiction, but today that man, Eckhart Tolle, is known worldwide for his teachings on spiritual enlightenment through the power of the present moment. His first book, The Power of Now, is an international bestseller, and has been translated into 17 languages. More than 20 years have passed since Eckhart Tolle answered his first question on that park bench. While his audience has grown, his message remains the same: that it is possible to stop struggling in your life, and find joy and fulfillment in this moment, and no other.
Sounds True: Can you describe to us your own experience of spiritual awakening (and of course, can you define spiritual awakening as well)? Was there a singular event that occurred or has it been a gradual process?………………'

Hi Everyone As someone with sleep apnea an…
Hi Everyone
As someone with sleep apnea, an extremely alarming dysrhythmic heart and the no-cure killer disease Pulmonary Fibrosis – death within 33 months on average – I have a more than normal interest in breath and breathing. Here is a quotation from Eckhart Tolle on the subject;
ON THE BREATH – Eckhart Tolle in his book 'A New Earth' chap 8 – p243
"Be aware of your breathing as often as you are able, whenever you remember. Do that for one year, and
it will be more powerfully transformative than attending all of these courses. And it's free."
Discover inner space by creating gaps in the stream of thinking. Without those gaps, your thinking becomes repetitive, uninspired, devoid or any creative spark, which is how it still is for most people on the planet. You don't need to be concerned with the duration of those gaps. A few seconds is good enough. Gradually, they will lengthen by themselves, without any effort on your part. More important than their length is to bring them in frequently so that your daily activities and your stream of thinking become interspersed with space.
Someone recently showed me the annual prospectus of a large spiritual organization. When I looked through it, I was impressed by the wide choice of interesting seminars and workshops. It reminded me of a smorgasbord, on of those Scandinavian buffets where you can take your pick from a huge variety of enticing dishes. The person asked me whether I could recommend one or two courses. "I don't know," I said. "They all look so interesting. But I do know this," I added. "Be aware of your breathing as often as you are able, whenever you remember. Do that for one year, and it will be more powerfully transformative than attending all of these courses. And it's free."
Being aware of your breathing takes attention away from thinking and creates space. It is one way of generating consciousness. Although the fullness of consciousness is already there as the unmanifested, we are here to bring consciousness into this dimension.
Be aware of your breathing. Notice the sensation of the breath. Feel the air moving in and out of your body. Notice how the chest and abdomen expand and contract slightly with the in and out breath. One conscious breath is enough to make some space where before there was the uninterrupted succession of one thought after another. One conscious breath (two or three would be even better), taken many times a day, is an excellent way of bringing space into your life. Even if you meditated on your breathing for two hours or more, which some people do, one breath is all you ever need to be aware of, indeed ever can be aware of. The rest is memory or anticipation, which is to say, thought. Breathing isn't really something that you do but something that you witness as it happens. Breathing happens by itself. The intelligence within the body is doing it. All you have to do is watch it happening. There is no strain or effort involved. Also, notice the brief cessation of the breath, particularly the still point at the end of the outbreath, before you start breathing in again.
Many people's breath is unnaturally shallow. The more you are aware of the breath, the more its natural depth will reestablish itself.
Because breath has no form as such, it has since ancient times been equated with spirit the formless one Life. "God formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living creature."5 The German word for breathing – atmen – is derived from the ancient Indian (Sanskrit) word Atman, meaning the indwelling divine spirit or God within.
The fact that breath has no form is one of the reasons why breath awareness is an extremely effective way of bringing space into your life, of generating consciousness. It is an excellent meditation object precisely because it is not an object; has no shape or form. The other reason is that breath is one of the most subtle and seemingly insignificant phenomena, the "least thing" that according to Nietzsche makes up the "best happiness." Whether or not you practice breath awareness as an actual formal meditation is up to you. Formal meditation, however, is no substitute for bringing space consciousness into everyday life.
Being aware of your breath forces you into the present moment – the key to all inner transformation. Whenever you are conscious of the breath, you are absolutely present. You may also notice that you cannot think and be aware of your breathing. Conscious breathing stops your mind. But far from being in a trance or half asleep, you are fully awake and highly alert. You are not falling below thinking, but rising above it. And if you look more closely, you will find that those two things – coming fully into the present moment and ceasing thinking without loss of consciousness – are actually one and the same: the arising of space consciousness. -0-
In the matter of breath and breathing Tolle is brilliant as he is on so many other aspects of life and inter-spirituality!
What is arising now is …
What is arising now is not a new belief system, a new religion,
spiritual ideology, or mythology. We are coming to the end not only of
mythologies but also of ideologies and belief systems. The change goes
deeper than the content of your mind, deeper than your thoughts. In fact, at
the heart of the new consciousness is the transcendence of thought, the
newfound ability of rising above thought, of realizing a dimension within
yourself that is infinitely more vast than thought.
You then no longer derive your identity, your sense of who you are, from the incessant stream of
thinking that in the old consciousness you take to be yourself. What a
liberation to realize that the "voice in my head" is not who I am. Who am I
then? The one who sees that. The awareness that is prior to thought, the
space in which the thought – or the emotion or sense perception – happens.
Ego is no more than this: identification with form, which primarily
means thought forms. If evil has any reality – and it has a relative, not an
absolute, reality – this is also its definition: complete identification with
form – physical forms, thought forms, emotional forms. This results in a total
unawareness of my connectedness with the whole, my intrinsic oneness with
every "other" as well as with the Source. This forgetfulness is original sin,
suffering, delusion. When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and
governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create? T

There was no shortage of violence in America in the 1970s. But few criminals captivated attention like Charles Manson, as shown in this clip from the upcoming episode of CNN's The Seventies, which airs on Thursday evening at 9:00 Eastern.
Manson's hold on the popular imagination has endured long past the end of the 1970s. In 1994, for example, TIME noted that "America's romance with real-life mass murder was going mainstream." The proof? "Charles Manson has earned some $600 in royalties from a line of caps, surfer pants and T shirts adorned with his image and such studiously ironic slogans as support family values and charlie don't surf," the article continued. "Sales took off after Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose began wearing the T shirts in concert and covered a Manson song on a recent album." And, just this summer, Lifetime greenlit a movie about Manson followers and NBC launched Aquarius, a Manson-adjacent thriller series.

For many decades Lincoln and Cadillac have been the premier names of American luxury. Mostly associated with older drivers who could afford to purchase and enjoy the luxury rides, these two brands were similar in many ways but different as well. As direct competitors the one-upsmanship was evident for a long time while the German automakers sat back and watched as their sales soared through the roof. Now, both brands are remaking themselves into a new concept of style, elegance, performance and technology in order to attract a younger demographic that can appreciate what these two longstanding and highly respected brands have to offer.
Whether the Lincoln is just trying to beat the Caddy to the punch, or the CT6 is really set to take on all challengers, especially the German luxury brands is still to be seen, but the hard fact is these two cars are both highly engineered, exquisitely designed and ready to provide soft and secure rides with more power and features than ever before.
Name Recognition
Whether its just bad timing or simply a signal to change, the alphabet soup that Cadillac has offered in the ATS and CTS were starting to be recognizable by many. Now they have changed it to add a number creating the CT6 which is the first in the line of new cars promised by Cadillac in order to entice a crowd that will benefit from highly powerful cars that provide awesome luxury. Supposedly the CT6 is an abbreviation for "Cadillac Touring-6" but it appears to be more of an attempt to beat BMW and Mercedes-Benz at their own naming game.
The Lincoln on the other hand, has had the Continental for decades and we can all associate luxury, style, grace and even some awesome movie and television references with the name. By keeping the name helps us already know what we are stepping into with the Lincoln.
As far as the looks go, the Cadillac CT6 is the leader in the clubhouse for this one. With gorgeous style and a presence that can't be ignored, the CT6 is more than just an overgrown CTS, it has its own features, flair and excitement, making it possible for both to coexist under the same roof and on car lots around the country. The easy way the car looks, with smooth contours and the right proportions make it a look many luxury car shoppers are going to truly enjoy.
As for the Lincoln, the car appears to be trying to mimic many other automakers. Take a little from the Bentley line, a dash of Jaguar influence and even a touch of Kia design (which might have been a mistake, but its there on the grill) and you have what the Continental looks like. Rather than having its own design that is built upon a platform of truly great cars, like the Cadillac lineup, the Lincoln was a copycat, and not a very good one at that for overall looks. Thankfully this is still a concept car and can be altered to become what it should be a uniquely designed luxury car for all to enjoy.
On the Inside
Because the Lincoln is still a concept car, the cabin is not a fair fight at all. The Lincoln shown off at various auto shows is trying out a variety of technology and features prior to heading to productions while the Cadillac is going to be sold this year. With that in mind the CT6 offers a beautiful cabin that is fully expected to be one of comfort and luxury but may still need a bit more tweaking to be a step above the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Audi A8. Some of the great features aboard the CT6 are things like the 34-speaker Bose surround sound audio system, the enhanced self-parking system, a camera-screen rearview mirror, and a haptic touchpad to control the infotainment system.
The Lincoln does show off a generous use of leather and chrome as well as a blue Alcantara trim and even 30-way adjustable rear seats that if found in the production model will certainly give the Lincoln a lead over the CT6.
The resources brought together to create the CT6 come from a vast pool of General Motors engineering and design elements to create the entirely new platform of the CT6. This car offers new engines, uses a ton of aluminum to help reduce weight and strengthen the structure, and shows off with a style that is graceful and elegant. All CT6 models will show up weighing less than 4,000 pounds, which is quite a feat in this class of vehicles with the closest to this number being the A8 at 4,300 pounds.
The Continental unfortunately does not ride on its own platform but instead will probably rely on a platform already in use as the new rear-drive underpinnings are not ready to add to the concept that is scheduled to start production soon. The expected platform upon productions is between the D3 and CD4 which are both already in use on other models from Lincoln, making it unfortunate for the new Continental which may leave us something to be desired when it comes to the driving of this new luxury cruiser.
It's nearly impossible to take about advancements in any vehicle without discussing what is under the hood. For these two, both will offer 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engines, seeming to make them somewhat identical for power, except for the signature engineering involved. The lower weight of the CT6 allows it to take advantage not only of the V6 engine, but also offer a turbocharged four-cylinder at the base engine, putting some emphasis on efficiency along with the luxury features. These engines will be attached to an eight-speed automatic transmission, making it possible to have the power and driving comfort desired along with the performance desired. Cadillac has even taken this a step farther and is expected to unveil a hybrid version of the CT6.
Unlike the underpinnings, the Lincoln EcoBoost V6 engine will be exclusive to the brand and allow the car to enjoy an engine lineup that is made for the luxury aboard. The drivetrain and transmission have not been announced yet, making it difficult to discern any feelings regarding the Continental, but the hope it there will be just a smooth a luxury ride when shifting in this car as in the CT6.
The Verdict
The obvious result is the CT6 is certainly more ready to take on the German luxury car makers and possibly come out with a win. As for the head to head, the CT6 is the clear favorite although at recent auto shows both cars gained a lot of attention and if the Continental can get all of its engineering in line under that gorgeous exterior it will be one graceful and powerful luxury ride in its own right. For now, the CT6 seems ready to take on the world and show off the new look and feel of Cadillac that should entice young and successful professionals the world over.


text: I've been ill the last two days and stuck at home bored and I'm blaming it on the fever but I started watching this on Netflix. I was a fan of this show back in the early '90s when I was a kid and used to watch it after school. I had fond memories of it, but when I started re-watching it it doesn't really live up to how I thought it would be. I have watched the first 7 episodes and now I am wondering how they can get 7 seasons out of this idea. I am hoping the first season is the shaky one where it has to find it's feet and that it improves. Don't get me wrong, it's not awful but it's just not as good as I remember. The storylines in these first few episodes are really silly and almost everything has been ship bound. There only are about 5 sets on the ship so it gets pretty dull after a while. It's a bit like been stuck on DYNASTY's La Mirage in space. Yes the ship has windows... But it's the same thing. Seeing an old show like this on the big screen is weird too. You can clearly see the ship is made from plywood and things that are supposed to be hi-tech are badly painted and covered in stick on plastic. lol Some really goofy and ridiculous episodes too. I really hope it improves. I used to think that this was the best of the '90s Star Trek series. Now I'm thinking maybe that was Voyager. Anyone else a fan of the show? Any sign that things will get better?
