What is not an Emergency?

Books for school may be an emergency situation in some cases, but magazine subscriptions, adult chat lines, 1-900 horoscope phone numbers, and HBO on Demand are not. Theater or concert tickets are not emergencies, cell phone bills are not emergencies, except in some situations. Paying for a cell phone may be acceptable; but putting all your friends expenses on your building business credit card because they promised to pay is absolutely not.

Why have a business line of credit Card at all?

Turn Flea Market Buys Into Gorgeous Home Decor

Don’t you just love the flea market?
It is a treasure trove for the bargain hunter. You never know what you might discover in a flea market.
You could end up with an entire collection of postcards, or vases, or pressed flower portraits or rather intriguing works of art. All for amazingly low prices. One man’s junk could well be your treasure. Perfect for recession time home decorating.
Who says cheap stuff must look cheap? If it fits in with your decor and you absolutely love it, buy it.
Okay, this can be tricky if your home is small and overcrowded. If that is the case, maybe you should sell stuff on the flea market instead of buying more. Still, you can always rotate the gorgeous finds and display some while keep the rest away safely in the storage cabinets, for when you get tired of the existing displays.
The trick is to go for themed buys. Think collections!
A dozen or more wooden postcard make quite a stunning bathroom display if they carry the same theme (e.g. seaside) and are grouped together in an aesthetically pleasing manner. An added bonus is that they give the occupant something to look at while doing his or her business opportunity and home business.
A collection of flower pressings or drawings or same-themed artwork from the flea market can make the guest room a lot more interesting if they are framed up and arranged in an orderly manner on the walls.
Or you could cheat and get a kid’s artwork. How to create a knock out display has some fun ideas to try out along that line.
A glass cabinet comes to life when you fill it with pretty vases that complement one another. A collection of crystals or costume jewelry will look stunning when lit up in a glass cabinet. A collection of porcelain dishes look stunning displayed in such a cabinet too.
You don’t have to stick to the conventional. Exotic scarves and shawls and fabrics look gorgeous draped over a sofa or a bed.
You don’t need a masterpiece of a costly sculpture to make your home look special. Flea market buys can look amazing if you know how to use them.

Gender Bias in Schools Revisited

Fifteen years ago, at the height of the focus on the alleged gender bias against girls in our

educational system, I wrote an article for a professional newsletter that argued it was

actually the other way around. Boys were at least equally disadvantaged in the classroom, if

not more so. The key difference was outside the classroom where girls grew up in a society that

didn’t value their achievements and best business for 2009 in

the marketplace and on the athletic field. I took some flack for my point of view back then.

Now, in 2008, it’s still a critical and misunderstood issue.
It is essential to put this issue of how boys perform in school into a historical perspective.

Since the first public school opened in Boston in 1635 until the middle of the 20th century,

the abundance of boys who did not fit the necessary mix of academic intelligence (learning best

in a language-based environment) and who lacked a “successful-student-personality” (calm,

organized, eager to please) were not a problem. Those boys generally left school by the eighth

grade to go to work on their father’s farm, learn his trade/ business, or, as unions became

dominant, took on apprentice roles and went on to good jobs. After WWII, everything began to

change. Fathers began commuting to work, farms disappeared, unions gradually diminished, and

all boys were now expected to be successful students.
Since this didn’t work for many boys, terms like “minimally brain damaged” and “hyperkinetic”

became the labels to explain their failures (currently replaced by a multitude of labels such

as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Sensory Integration Disorder, Non-Verbal Learning

Disabilities, Dyslexia, and Spectrum Disorders). For decades, many of these boys still managed

to get through the system and find reasonable jobs waiting for them. But now they face the

information revolution, where jobs are increasingly language-based. This has caused schools and

parents to put even more pressure on all boys to succeed in school. Thus, the marked increase

in concern about the many boys who still don’t fit our school system, which has never adapted

its model to accommodate the varied learning styles not only associated with gender but across

all children.
Many of you may be familiar with some of the many statistics that back up these concerns. It

begins early. In elementary school boys are twice as likely to be identified with learning

disabilities, emotional and behavioral problems, and to end up in special education. Young boys

are 60% more likely to repeat a grade. By middle school, it’s not just the appearance of test

score gaps that concern us. It’s data that shows boys skip school more often, get injured in

fights much more often (though I do realize that girls hurt other girls in non-physical ways

that can be even more devastating) and suicide rates, though small, are three times as likely

in boys.
Then we get to high school. Boys are a third more likely to drop out and to be doing heavy

drugs. Test scores and participation in advanced classes now significantly favor girls. These

gaps are even more pronounced in our urban schools but be clear, they are not limited to poor,

inner city children. Teenage boys dominate special classes and have significantly higher

suicide rates. (The girls show their distress through high rates of eating disorders and rising

rates of smoking.)
The pattern continues beyond high school. 58% of undergraduate students are now female and the

higher ratio of women continues right on into graduate school. It won’t take more than another

generation before boys and men can’t find a male to be their primary care physician.
Of course some will argue this matters little since women allegedly still have their glass

ceiling and there is still a lack of equal pay for equal jobs. But within a decade or two, the

shortage of reasonably educated men will change this. Some women note that females have

suffered for centuries. They suggest males in our society will need to face up to this “new”

problem and do something about it just the way women did in the latter part of the 20th

century.
Well, part of the problem was, and still is, that both genders face issues and to remain a

healthy productive society, a better understanding of boys and girls and the similarities and

differences in how they develop needs to be better understood and addressed. From where I have

been watching for the past forty years or so, our educational system is harmful to most

children regardless of gender. So it is not my intention to slight the needs of girls in our

schools or women in the work world by pausing to focus on some very significant issues facing

males in our schools as well as society in general.
It has been well documented that boys develop more slowly in certain aspects of their

neurology. In general, (there are always exceptions to stereotypes) young girls are more

verbal, more able to sit still, and learn to read more quickly. This substantially increases

their likelihood of immediate success in a school system that places early emphasis on all

these skills. Given the heightened anxiety of today’s parents about their children’s early

academic success determining life success, preschools have become increasingly skills oriented,

starting the frustration for boys at even earlier ages. Meanwhile, as teachers are increasingly

forced to teach to statewide tests, they lose the flexibility to teach in more creative ways

that would benefit both genders. But it especially increases the challenges boys have to face.
While more research is needed and new teaching strategies need to evolve, I think there are a

couple of additional factors that play a key role in making the life of boys particularly

disadvantaged at this time in our society. Boys lack male role models for academic learning and

developing a strong, positive sense of their masculinity. In addition, young boys have

dramatically lost their best business from home opportunity to

be physically active and to use social play as a way to explore and understand the world they

live in.
Mothers, and other women, are the primary caretakers of young children. Boys are then handed

off to female teachers for the next several years. Rarely do boys have the opportunity to

observe and model their academic behavior after a same sex adult. But it also works the other

way. Female teachers have less tolerance for a bit of chaos and roughhousing. I recall from my

early days as a psychologist when I was in charge of a number of inner city preschools. When I

would visit the classes, it would turn in to king of the hill battles and kids climbing all

over me. My female teachers understood the importance of this and didn’t mind it one bit.
But, over the years, when I have consulted with preschools and elementary schools, teachers are

more concerned with the possibility of someone getting hurt (some of which reflects our

increasing litigious society) and the sense of things getting out of control than recognizing

the importance of this high energy activity for boys (and many girls as well). I have watched

too many female teachers reprimanding boys for behavior that should be considered normal,

slightly aggressive, overactive male behavior. It should be built in to the program, not

frowned upon. Meanwhile, recess and phys ed classes are being decreased so teachers have more

time to raise those classroom test scores, making it even worse for boys. It doesn’t do

anything for the epidemic of obesity either!
Boys (and many girls) need to be allowed to run free, ride their bikes around town, play for

hours outside, wander into the woods and climb trees, bring home turtles, frogs, and bugs.

Frightened parents, even in more advantaged communities, allow fear of the unlikely (stranger

abduction, pedophiles) to keep boys inside. Girls, too. Now parents are paying the price of

children who explore the world via the internet and are realizing this may be more risky than

letting them actually leave the house!
Meanwhile, we need more male teachers. We need more men coming in to visit the elementary

classrooms. We also need more Big Brothers. The problem is not just the lack of men in the

school life of our boys. Between high rates of divorce and of young, poor fathers abandoning

their children, it is estimated that an astonishing 40% of our boys are growing up without a

father in their lives. Being a minority male in our inner cities means you are more likely to

end up in jail or dead by 21 than graduating high school, no less going to college.
We need to offer boys and girls an education that addresses the total child, not just the

academic skill part. We need to design middle schools and high schools that offer many pathways

to earning a reasonable living and have more men involved right from the beginning. We need

longer school days if a significant part of that time can be spent playing and exercising. We

need to identify each child’s strengths, regardless of gender, and allow that child to use

those strengths to be productive in school in a variety of acceptable ways, not just a few

narrow ways that relegate most children to feeling inadequate.
Parents have an important role in addressing this problem. One thing is to err on the side of

safety and regardless of how mature your son seems to be, don’t make him one of the youngest in

his class. Second, too often parents will present to me a picture of a son whom they describe

as lovable and caring, sensitive, having good friends and being terrific with young children.

But they are distressed because he is very inconsistent in his school performance, only seems

to work at what interests him, and resists doing homework because he would rather play. This is

a great young boy with the kind of values and spirit that we hope he’ll continue to demonstrate

when he’s a man. He might make a great teacher some day! We need parents to focus more on their

child’s successes and less on their perceived shortcomings, especially with their sons. Parents

must be more conscious of their own gender bias.
In addition, the very behaviors and attitudes which cause many boys to under perform in school

serve them well in the real world. High energy, totally absorbed by only what strongly

interests them, challenging the rules, and having strong leadership skills often are the

foundation for successful entrepreneurs and great innovators in many spheres of life. Parents

and educators need to be able to identify that potential and not destroy the drive and

self-confidence of these “academically underachieving” boys before they get a chance to prove

themselves in the real world.
And just for emphasis, I want to state again, we need boys to have meaningful relationships

with men from birth on.

Are you stepping out into success?

Many of us think of applying the pressure as failing. ‘The pressure is coming. Oh my gosh! What am I going to do? The pressure is coming.’ But pressure doesn’t need to be a negative: I love this quote.

Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it’s because you started to think of failure. Tommy Lasorda

When you stop and think about what happens in life, pressure is being applied constantly in many different arenas. An example would be rush hour traffic that puts more and more pressure on the highways. As the population grows more and more pressure is added. What happens? Do we, as a society, give up and say ‘oh, well. Too Bad? It’s just going to take you that much longer to transit into work’? Your commute time, instead of being an hour and a half, is going to be 2 hours. And in 3 years from now, it’s going to be 4 hours. Or do we take the action, as a society, as a city, as a person and do something to relieve that pressure? Yes we do something that will alleviate the pressure for all of that traffic coming into the downtown core.

We as a society, as a city, step into success. We do something to alleviate that pressure. We can learn to apply that concept in our life. Instead of taking a look at the pressure as a bad thing we can use it to build something new, a bridge to our future. Do we do what Tommy Lasorda said-misuse that word ‘pressure’ and think of it as ‘oh, I’m going to fail, I’m going to fail’ and then give up? - or do we CHOOSE to do something different and step into our own success?

We all have habits. What is your ‘it’? What is the ‘it’ that stops you? When you start to feel that pressure, what do you do? Next time that happens, I want you to stop and think, ‘what am I automatically doing here’? Then decide to do something different in order to get a different result.

When I was first introduced to this concept, I did not recognize what habit I fell into until I was all the way in it. Stress eating was one of the things I used to do. As I learn to recognize where that pressure point is, what my habit is, what my ‘it’ is, I, can learn how to change it, how to react differently.

I just watched the movie ‘What the Bleep?! - Down the Rabbit Hole’. One of the concepts in the movie is that we, as human beings, are bombarded every second with 400 billion bits of information. We only process 2000, therefore we need to choose carefully which bits we pay attention too. When we succumb to the pressure and fall into a negative habit, like I used to when I was stress eating, we are selecting only a narrow negative portion of information from the 4 billion bits..

I have decided that I am going to choose a different 2,000 bits of information. It really is just a choice.. We need to recognize what our habits, and that we can change our habits. Millions of people have learned how to stop the stress eating habit. Millions of people have learned how to quit smoking. Millions and millions of people have learned how to make their life and Starscapes.com business opportunity better, how to step into success. If they can do it, I can do it. If I can do it, you can do it. It’s all just a simple choice, to make a different decision.

If you are a parent ask yourself, if you choose non-success habits, what are the habits and passions that you are creating in your children? Are you creating a generational curse or a generational legacy? Another great quote is “children have never been good at listening to their elders. But they have never failed to imitate them”. by James Baldwin. Even if you aren’t a parent what about the influence you have on the people around you?

We need to learn to recognize when we are backing off from pressure, when we are moving into the habits that are not success habits (the ones that we need to change). We also need to recognize the habits that we have that are good, that are leading us towards success, leading us to our financial freedom. We need to be aware so that we can make changes in our negative habits and reinforce our positive habits.

We need to learn to recognize that when we wish for something, ask for something, pray for something or when we say affirmations for something, it’s not going to just happen. It’s not going to be handed to us on a silver platter. One of my affirmations is “I am building a team of dream achievers” Now, I know that that is going to take patience and perseverance and that this whole team of dream achievers are not just going to be dumped in my lap. I have to go looking for them and attract them into my life.

As I go down the personal development journey and build my home business I come up against pressure points all the time. When I think back to the pressure points in my life last year at this time versus this year - whoa! - last year’s ones seem really simple now. What happens? We are not given exactly what we want right off the bat. But we are given the opportunity to develop the skills so that we get better. On my journey, I am becoming a better team leader. I am practicing my patience and my perseverance in my own learning so that I become that better learner that attracts, using the Law of Cause and Effect, that team of dream achievers, the team of business builders.

When that pressure is applied in our lives, patience and perseverance, is what we need in order to grow through that pressure point. Once we do grow and find different habits to allow us to get past that pressure point, to allow us to develop the skills, to learn those new things that we need to learn, we come to a better place and we can handle more pressure. We have new skills. We know something different. We react in a different away. We remain patient. We practice the perseverance and can step into success.

Are you applying enough pressure? Are you stepping out into success? Take a look at your habits. What do you do when the pressure hits? Are you giving yourself the opportunity to develop a new skill, to become even better than you already are? I would love to hear about those experiences.. Send me an email at Carla at retirewithcarla.com or give me a phone call at (778) 835-4032 and let me know, what are the habits that you’ve come across? What are some of the things that you have done differently?

Bioengineering and spinal cord injury: a perspective on the state of the science

There is little doubt that as technologic advances become available in handicap scooters and medical scooters, people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are living healthier, more productive, and longer lives. Federally and privately funded research, foreign competition, and globalization appear to be factors that will drive bioengineering advances within the assistive technology (AT) industry. The seeds of bioengineering research are likely to contribute to improvements in universal design and the mainstreaming of products. The aims of AT have changed tremendously in the past 50 years. Most of the federal agencies supporting assistive and rehabilitative technology research and development did not exist 50 years ago. Indeed, the leading AT companies all were established within the past 50 years. Bioengineering has the potential to be to the 21 st century what electronic engineering was to the 20th century. Advances in power electronics, telecommunications, controls, sensors, and instrumentation have really only just begun to be applied for devices to assist people with SCI. Advancing technology for people with SCI represents a significant career and business opportunity for engineers who want to serve the public good in a meaningful and tangible way.

Effect of a pushrim-activated power-assist wheelchair on the functional capabilities of persons with tetraplegia

OBJECTIVES: To test the differences between a pushrim-activated medicare power wheelchairs and a traditional manual wheelchair while performing common driving activities and to assess their relative merits for people with tetraplegia. DESIGN: Repeated measures. SETTING: An activities of daily living (ADL) laboratory within a rehabilitation research center. PARTICIPANTS: Fifteen full-time manual wheelchair users with tetraplegia due to a spinal cord injury. INTERVENTIONS: Participants propelled both their own manual wheelchairs and a PAPAW 3 times over an ADL course. The order in which the 2 different wheelchairs were presented to the participants was randomized. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Each participant’s heart rate was monitored throughout testing by a digital, wireless heart-rate monitor. Time to complete the course was recorded, and participants were surveyed with a visual analog scale after the first, third, fourth, and sixth trials to determine the ease of completing each obstacle and their ergonomic preferences between the 2 wheelchairs. Participants also were observed throughout the trials to determine how much assistance they needed to complete each obstacle course. RESULTS: After using a Bonferroni adjustment, 4 obstacles (carpet, dimple strips, up a ramp, up a curb cut) were rated as being significantly easier ( P <.001) to complete when using the PAPAW. Participants also showed a significant decrease in mean heart rate throughout all 3 trials ( P =.015, P =.001, P =.003, respectively) when using a PAPAW. The amount of assistance needed by participants, the responses to ergonomic questions, and the overall time to complete the ADL course did not differ significantly between the 2 power wheelchairs. CONCLUSIONS: For subjects with tetraplegia, PAPAWs have the potential to improve functional capabilities during certain ADLs, especially when propelling up ramps, over uneven surfaces, and over thick carpet.

So do yourself a favor. Let the employer know you’re someone who will.

How to Clearly Define Your Target Market For Your Network Marketing Business

In building your Network Marketing business, it is critical to know exactly who your target

market is. Clearly defining your target market with upfront research should always be your

first step in planning for your Network Marketing business.

These are several key questions to ask yourself when doing your research.

Here’s a short list that should get you going:

* What is the demographic of your customers? e.g. income level, gender, education, age, marital

status * Do they have a specific location? e.g. country, state, city, county * What do they

want? * What are their key problems? * What do they currently buy?

Once you clearly define who your potential customers are, you can begin to set up your

marketing strategies around them. But until you do, you should not even consider starting your

Network Marketing business (or any kind of business).

People so often come up with their product which, in their eyes, are superior in quality, and

then start looking for customers who can benefit from the use of this product. When people take

this approach, they are at the risk of investing a lot upfront to come up with the products to

sell while not really knowing whether they will sell.

While searching for the customers, they will need to store their inventories so that they can

ship the products quickly as soon as they find the customers. This causes them to incur

unnecessary expenses for storage and possibly lose their initial investment if they can’t find

the customers to buy them.

If you can first spot a group of people who has a specific want, need, or problem they want a

solution for, and then come up with the exact things they are looking for, it makes things so

much easier with much less risk.

Here are a few examples:

* Starbucks ==> coffee drinkers * Borders ==> book lovers * Eye doctors ==> people with poor

vision

Each of the above has a specific group of people who has specific wants, needs and problems

they want a solution for. It wouldn’t have been wise for Starbucks to come up with the best

tasting coffee without knowing whether there’s enough people who can and will spend $3 bucks

for a cup of joe.

Now, when it comes to target markets for your Network Marketing best

home businesses from home, there are several possible categories depending on your

approach. Here’s a list of possible target markets:

* People who have purchased a network marketing best home business

to start before (or who are already in network marketing, who are currently spending money

on pursuing a home based network marketing business), who already recognize their need for a

network marketing business.

* People who are presently researching your Network Marketing company and seeking the best

sponsor, team and upline on Google, Yahoo, MSN or even offline talking to people. These people

have heard of the Network Marketing company, products, marketing system, and/or best home

business to start, and are doing their “homework” to validate the information about the

company, products, marketing system, and/or best home business to start and the best team to

join.

* People interested in finding a way to make money, but who aren’t specifically aware that they

need a Network Marketing business (yet). These people are looking in your direction with

obvious interests, but are still in the “tire-kicking” stage. Until they actually spend money

by starting a home based business, or invest money in learning resources (books, CDs, DVDs,

seminars), they are just looking.

* People who already buy or use a related product or service of your Network Marketing company.

* People with a PROBLEM who are looking for a SOLUTION (e.g. PROBLEM = poor health; SOLUTION =

high quality dietary supplements)

* People looking on the web for your specific product by name. These people are the hottest

product leads.

Once you grasp which target market you want to attract to you, you simply need to start giving

away valuable content that they are looking for through various point-of-contacts e.g. social

networking sites, social bookmarking sites, etc.

Remember, you don’t want to chase after your target market. You want to always ATTRACT them to

YOU. Give to get. Give without want. And you’ll soon be attracting them to YOU and your Network

Marketing business.

Influence of hand cycling on physical capacity in the rehabilitation of persons with a spinal cord injury: a longitudinal cohort study

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of handicap scooters on outcome measures of physical capacity during and after rehabilitation in persons with paraplegia and tetraplegia in The Netherlands. DESIGN: A longitudinal cohort study with measurement moments at the start (t1) and end (t2) of clinical rehabilitation and 1 year after discharge (t3). Hand cycle use was assessed by means of questionnaires at t2 and t3. SETTING: Eight rehabilitation centers in The Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS: Subjects (N=162) with a recent spinal cord injury. INTERVENTIONS: All subjects followed the regular rehabilitation program. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Peak oxygen uptake (Vo(2)peak) and peak power output (POpeak) determined in a handrim medical scooters peak exercise test, peak muscle strength of the upper extremities, and pulmonary function. RESULTS: A significantly larger increment in Vo(2)peak, POpeak, and elbow extension strength was found in subjects with paraplegia during clinical rehabilitation. No such effect was found in subjects with tetraplegia. In the postrehabilitation period, no influence of hand cycling on any outcome measure was found in subjects with paraplegia or subjects with tetraplegia. CONCLUSIONS: After correction for baseline values and confounders, regular hand cycling (once a week or more) appeared to be beneficial for improving aerobic physical capacity in persons with paraplegia during clinical rehabilitation. The small and heterogeneous study groups may have hampered the finding of positive results of hand cycling in persons with tetraplegia.

Perceptions of power mobility use and safety within residential facilities.

BACKGROUND: medicare power wheelchairs enhance quality of life by enabling occupation, improving self-esteem and facilitating social interaction. Despite these benefits, the risks associated with power mobility use raise serious concerns in residential facilities. PURPOSE: As there is no gold standard to assess when a client is unsafe, a two-phase study was conducted to develop client-centred guidelines for handicap scooters use. METHOD: In the first phase of the study, presented here, 18 in-depth, qualitative interviews were conducted with a variety of stakeholders, including power mobility users, other residents, staff and family members. RESULTS: A thematic analysis of the interviews revealed four main themes: 1) the meaning of power mobility, 2) learning the rules of the road, 3) red flags: concerns about safety, and 4) solutions. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Given the importance of power mobility, safety measures need to address issues of mobility and safety for power mobility drivers and those around them.

Interest Charges

However, you must also consider that a building business credit card company also charges interest. The longer you take to pay off a balance the more interest you build up. In this way paying the minimum on your business line of credit card is actually a bad idea as it is a never-ending process. Once you’ve paid off one amount you have to start paying off another month’s debt.

The biomechanics of wheelchair propulsion in individuals with and without upper-limb impairment.

We used an instrumented medicare power wheelchairs ergometer and 3D motion analysis system to collect joint kinematic and temporal data, as well as hand rim and joint kinetics, in 47 manual power wheelchairs users (MWCUs) (15 with upper-limb impairment and 32 without upper-limb impairment). The group with upper-limb impairment propelled with a higher stroke frequency and reduced hand-rim contact time, and smaller peak joint angles and joint excursion of the wrist, elbow, and shoulder during the contact phase. They also propelled with a reduced power output and reduced hand-rim propulsive and resultant forces, moments, and joint compressive forces. We concluded that these kinematic and kinetic strategies might be a mechanism for allowing MWCUs with upper-limb impairment to remain independent. Additionally, the reduced joint excursion and reduced magnitude of forces may protect them from the development of secondary upper-limb pathologies.

How I saw the world

I was working a regular nine to five job and barely making ends meet just a year ago. I knew that I wanted to break free of the treadmill I was on but I just didn’t know how. Finally I met a person who changed my life and allowed all of my dreams to come true.
I was working a regular nine to five job and barely making ends meet just a couple of years ago. I desperately wanted to get off of the daily treadmill I was on but I just didn’t know how. Finally I met a person who changed my life and allowed all of my dreams to come true.
I was playing around on the internet looking for nothing in particular when I saw an ad for Global Resorts Network. It sounded interesting so I looked into it further. What I found was not only a resort network that gives great discounts on travel but it is also home business opportunity. The startup cost was over $2000 which was a real sacrifice for me. Fortunately I was able to come up with the money and I am so glad I did.
Now I go on week long trips every few months. I have experienced so much that I thought I would miss out on due to the high cost of travel and my limited income. I have surfed in Hawaii, gone skiing in Colorado, and spent evenings under the desert sky in Arizona.
If you want to make money online with your own internet home business opportunity and you love to travel this could be the business opportunity for you as well. I get great discounts on travel and I make enough money to be able to take advantage of them. That means that I travel all the time.
I don’t want to mislead you into thinking that this travel business opportunity is so easy that I no longer need to work. This is network marketing so it requires daily attention. I have set my home business up online which allows me to generate qualified leads that I can then turn into sales. Both generating the leads and making the sale are hard work. But like all hard work I see a reward in the end.
The Global resorts network is 50 years old and has creating business opportunities for thousands of sales people. If you want a home based business, you love to travel and you are great at sales this is a winning opportunity for you. I think you will be surprised at the amount of money you can make.

My Dead Beat Multilevel Marketing Sponsor

Someone introduces you to a product or service that you enjoy or that benefits you in some way. Then, you join that Multilevel Marketing business opportunity “under” that person. By “under” we mean you are sponsored by that person and for the purposes of commission tracking, you reside on the “first level” or “first generation” of their downline genealogy.
In the language of the industry, they are your sponsor.
This scenario is repeated everyday in an income arena that attracts everyday people by the thousands. The tidal wave that is Multilevel Marketing surges with new recruits eager to create mind-boggling incomes. They join, they purchase and they get excited.
And then we hear:
The person who sponsored me never calls. He promised a great opportunity then disappeared. What a dead beat!
Or, after getting me to join, she moved on to the next prospect. Aren’t I just as important?
Why did they desert me? I have a huge upline support team with awesome tools and resources. But, my business is stagnant because I’m waiting for some help.
A Wake Up Call for Multilevel Marketing Wannabes: Here’s where we jar most home business rookies with a big dose of reality.
The fact is that your sponsor is NOT there to do it all for you. As a Networker, you are an independent business entity. You will never be successful until you learn to BE successful on your own.
But, to soften that hardcore position, understand that your sponsor or Upline Team SHOULD be available to assist you and provide tools, training and resources - but they should NOT be building your business for you.
Nor should they be promising such nonsense in any of their promotions.
What Are They Obligated to Do? As your sponsor, they have an obligation to support you, encourage you and even to train you. Their #1 goal should be to assist you into the first stages of success. If they don’t, it’s their mistake. Your pitfall is allowing that mistake to stop you from succeeding anyhow!
Experienced and successful Multilevel Marketers know the value of helping you to reach profit. They know the power of getting you to what we call “The Point of No Return.” They grasp the importance of having team members like you in the “making good money” column.
They also know that if they GET you there without teaching you to be self sufficient, THEIR business won’t grow and yours will stop the moment they release the reins.
The Multilevel Marketing Fishing Pole: Do you recall that old saying that if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day - but if you teach a man to fish, you feed him forever?
That is why you must learn to work your Multilevel Marketing business. It’s okay to be slow at first. Maybe you have questions - maybe you don’t know everything. No one does when they first start. But, that doesn’t justify expecting your sponsor to make you rich.
Pointing Fingers Again? When you’re feeling discouraged or frustrated with your home business growth, or lack of it, what do you do? Do you blame it on the company? What about the pay plan?
Ever think the product must not work because the last 3 people you shared it with didn’t have dramatic results?
Have you mentally or verbally accused your sponsor of being unhelpful? Do you wish you had a different upline team?
So, let’s say you are part of a legitimate Multilevel Marketing opportunity with a great product backed by a solid company - lots of satisfied members - sales climbing everyday - people across the country excited about their results. But, YOUR results have been less than expected. What’s the problem? Who’s to blame?
Perhaps your expectations were not very realistic in the first place. Maybe the time spent waiting for help should have been spent - doing something.
Doing something - anything - even if you’re not good at it (yet) is better than doing nothing.
We used to refer to this as “making a big mess and cleaning it up later.” Get your material out there. Talk to people. Advertise. Give away samples. Do something. Worry about getting good at it as you go along.
Who Determines My Success? You do. Period.
Upline teams and sponsors can be contributing factors to your Multilevel Marketing success. Having someone who is very involved in your daily activities is a real plus, not a necessity. Company tools and resources offer tremendous advantages to your business growth - if you use them.
If your dream is to sit back and let someone else make you rich, buy a lottery ticket.
Shouldn’t They Call Me Once in a While? I’m sure that would be nice. We’ve always told our members to develop a pattern of time management based on the “work with the workers” theory. Be available to everyone who needs help, but concentrate on those who are making an effort.
If your sponsor is really as good as you think he/she is, they are probably quite busy. Their time is divided between many team members. They’re working with the workers, taking calls and answering questions.
So? When was the last time you called THEM?
In fact, when is the last time you dialed into a live conference call? Have you attended a live event or training? Have you reviewed each link on the company website or back office? There’s usually an FAQ section.
Do you have the phone number for your sponsor’s sponsor? Called them lately?
The point is that it’s YOUR home business. Don’t point fingers or make excuses. Get excited, make a commitment and get busy.

Distribution and cost of wheelchairs and scooters provided by Veterans Health Administration

During fiscal years 2000 and 2001, the Veterans Health Administration provided veterans with more than 131,000 medicare power wheelchairs and handicap scooters at a cost of $109 million. This national study is the first to investigate Veterans Health Administration costs in providing wheelchairs and scooters and to compare regional prescription patterns. With a retrospective design, we used descriptive methods to analyze fiscal years 2000 and 2001 National Prosthetics Patient Database data (cleaned data set of 113,724 records). Wheelchairs were categorized by function, weight, and adjustability options for meeting individual needs (e.g., axle position, camber, position of wheels, tilt, and recline options). Results displayed a cost distribution that was negatively skewed by low-cost accessories coded as wheelchairs. Of the standard manual wheelchairs, 3.5% could be considered beyond the customary cost. Regionally, 71% to 86% of all wheelchairs provided were manual wheelchairs, 5% to 11% were power wheelchairs, and 5% to 20% were scooters. The considerable variation found in the types of wheelchairs and scooters provided across Veterans Integrated Service Networks may indicate a need for evidence-based prescription guidelines and clinician training in wheeled-mobility technologies

Pressure, Are You Applying Enough to Attain Your Financial Freedom

One of the things that I have discovered in my journey of personal development is that I must make the choice to step into success or I will just stand in failure. I find that it is necessary to apply pressure to myself in order to move forward and take those steps into success. Do you apply pressure to yourself? Let me ask you a question: do you wait until the last minute to finish a task, project or chore? Are you one of those people who accomplish 70% of the project in the last 10% of the time?’

If you said yes to either of those questions then you are applying pressure to yourself. Some of us work better by doing little bits and pieces of the project, task or chore as we go. Others work much better when they are under the gun. When they know they ‘gotta get it done’, ‘it’s due tomorrow’, ‘it’s due in two hours’.. Some people are much better when they are applying that pressure to themselves.

We need to be able to recognize where we fall on that scale and realize how best we react because if we don’t apply any pressure at all to ourselves then we are we are not going to learn, grow and step up into the success that we want in our lives. We all want success in our lives, whether it is emotionally, in relationships, with our family, in our home business, or with our finances. We all want some form of success in our life, if not in ALL of these areas!

Many times, we human beings waste time feeling guilty. By doing this we are wasting our own time and energy. When we get to the point of the deadline for that project, task or chore and we’re feeling so guilty - ‘oh why didn’t I do something sooner? I should have spent more time! Why did I spend my time on that thing and not get this project started?’ As human beings need to learn that it is okay and to recognize that’s how we cope best, we work best under pressure. So stop feeling guilty about it! Stop beating yourself up, because when we stop beating ourselves up and wasting energy on the guilt, we have more time and more energy to invest in the project, chore or task we want to complete.

The other thing that we do, in order to not apply the pressure, is we hide behind our responsibilities. I used to do this so well - hide behind my responsibilities. Many times when I have talked to people about a home based business opportunity, they say ‘oh, well I don’t have the time to do something like that. I am so busy! I have my family. I have my job. I have my charities. I have my hobbies.’ We all have those different responsibilities in our life. But what we need to decide is ‘Is this project/task/business something that I really want to do or rather is this task/business/project going to create a result that I want. You have to begin by deciding what result you want in your life and then arrange your time based on achieving those results. Ask yourself : ‘Are there things I could rearrange or even drop all together to make time to do this?’

Are you applying the pressure to your own life to do what it is you really want to do? Sometimes those tasks or chores are not really things that we want to do, but we want that specific end result so we do them. We want our relationships to work well. We want our financial freedom. We want to be able to take our family to Disneyland. We want that specific end result, the successful life. Today I just assisted my husband in setting up his financial filing system, I sure did not want to spend time doing it, however I want the end result!! The end result of the nice clean, tidy organized paperwork resulting in his taxes being completed on time. I put the pressure on myself, assisted him and now I am very glad I did. Not only did the paperwork issue get better but so did our relationship because my husband felt much supported.

We need to focus on the results we want instead of hiding behind the excuses of ‘I don’t have the time,I’ve got to go to work, I’ve got to take my daughter to soccer. I have got to take my dog to the vet’. Yes, those are all things that need to be done. However when we decide that achieving a certain task/chore/business is a priority that we could rearrange our time or give up some unnecessary activities to free up time if we really wanted to. If we really want that result, we could get it done, it just takes a decision. We will then stop investing in the guilt. we will stop hiding behind the responsibilities and figure out a way to make it happen.

There is a universal law, like the law of gravity called the Law of Growth;. In order to exist, we need to grow. How we grow is our choice. What seeds do we want to plant? Do we want to plant the seeds of not getting something done? Or do we want the seeds of success habits, applying the pressure and stepping into the successful life that we know we deserve. We all deserve a successful life! Ask yourself “am I applying the correct pressure on myself to create my successful life?” I hope you are!

Utilizing research in wheelchair and seating selection and configuration for children with injury/dysfunction of the spinal cord.

OBJECTIVE: To determine how research regarding medicare power wheelchairs and medical scooters and seating selection and configuration could be applied to the pediatric population with spinal cord injury (SCI) and dysfunction. METHODS: Extensive literature reviews were completed on (a) powered mobility options and age-appropriateness for training; (b) manual wheelchair configuration, pushrim biomechanics, and propulsion ergonomics; and (c) cushion selection and use of pressure-mapping devices. The findings in the literature review then were compared with clinical observations from Shriners Hospitals for Children, Philadelphia’s Seating and Wheelchair Clinic. RESULTS/DISCUSSION: A significant amount of research is published on propulsion ergonomics and pushrim biomechanics in adults with SCI. However, this literature review noted that there was limited research available on cushion selection and power mobility configuration. Many of the conclusions drawn from these publications are applied to pediatric patients and used during the decision-making process of wheelchair and cushion selection. However, it is critical to tailor the assessment to the pediatric population to meet their medical and functional needs. CONCLUSION: Although some of the findings can be correlated to the pediatric population, there is a lack of research on wheelchair and seating selection and configuration as it specifically relates to the young person with SCI and dysfunction. Future studies need to be completed.

Free: The Four Letter “F” Word

Now that I’ve got your attention, Let me explain.
When I’m talking about the “F” word, it’s got nothing to do with swearing, nor the word that gets kids giggling when they overhear it in conversation, or perhaps on the TV. But it’s effect on your home business opportunity, mlm or other online venture can be equally as alarming.
The word is “Free”.
Sure, there are obviously those that have made huge amounts of money using free stuff, but my personal experience has shown that my success is a direct comparison to the depth that I’ve dug into my wallet. Why is this?
Well, for starters, we say that we’re looking for a business opportunity. Whether its a turnkey home business for moms or a home business for baby boomers, doesn’t really matter.
Now I’ve been self-employed for the majority of my life, but I have never owned a business, online or offline, that has been free. Neither would I want to. It’s the investment - cold hard cash - that ensures you keep to the right path.
It’s the cash that you depart with that ensures that you treat your venture as a business, and not a hobby. It’s the bank manager standing over you, making you feel as if it’s his own personal money.
My experience tells me that its got a lot to do with how we value our money. I don’t know if you can follow what I’m getting at, but I have found that anything that I got for free never held my interest, so there was a fat chance of being successful.
I also think that the free methods, systems and tools we have available have contributed to the online marketers disease of JFPTP syndrome. And what is that? No doubt you’ll recognize it when I spell it out. Its the “Jump From Pillar To Post” Syndrome.
The incessant dabbling with any and everything that passes into our inbox, in the vain attempt to find the legitimate make money online ways that are going to fill our bank accounts and allow us to work at the kitchen table in our underwear. I think that’s something best left to your imagination.
Once you invest in something, there’s this little voice we have that makes us justify our spending, so we doggedly carry on as long as we possibly can before we even think of giving up. Many is the time that I’ve found a residual income home business and spent more than I intended to, but this seems to be one of the reasons that I stick like glue and get as much out of it as I possibly can.
There’s self-esteem at risk here, I don’t want anyone to think that I’ve flushed my money down the proverbial toilet. So I carry on until I’m spent, departing with my tail firmly tucked between my legs, but with my integrity and dignity intact.
I’ve personally found that the program is not as significant in your success, its the marketing system that drives the program. I guess what I’m saying essentially, is that the answer is in the marketing.
I know you’ve heard it all before, but it’s worth of a reminder. Do you honestly think that McDonald’s is the best hamburger you can get? I think not. There’s bound to be a much better hamburger produced by your local mom and pop hamburger joint. If they could only plug into a marketing system like McDonald’s use, they would have success spilling out of their every pore. It’s the systems that work, or to put it in one word, duplication.
When you next come across something that sounds to good to be true, promising to make you squillions in cash before you can blink, take another look. Look outside the box. If it belongs to the four letter word brigade - it’s free - that’s giving you a pretty good indication of what it’s worth.
Look for duplication. You will need to involve other people. Is this something that you can see other people getting value out of? Because that’s what it boils down to. Operate your own home business opportunity, mlm or whatever venture you are involved with keeping in mind that your fastest way to success is by helping others.
Sounds like a line out of a bad TV advertisement, and no doubt you’ve heard it all before. But I just thought I’d repeat it again, because it’s just so true, and maybe you just haven’t listened properly yet.
I’ll wait for you at the top……there’s plenty of room!

Bank Advice

The advice is that you should definitely ask around; a bank will never advertise openly such a thing as 0 interest business line of credit card unless it has a catch to it. So, even when you do get such a benefit be wary of it and read all the fine print. Banks and financial institutions are there to make money off you, not to give it away to you or anyone for that matter

To apply for a business line of credit card is not more difficult than applying for a bank account, a driver’s license or a social security card. However, it is always better to be prepared as many companies send unsolicited pre-approved applications through the mail and most often have hidden charges nestled in the fine print.
