Has everyone noticed how every time Africa is brought up in the media? it's a always a sad picture: hungry children with swollen bellies, surrounded by flies and walking bare feet....And if it's not that, then it's images of civil wars, rebellion, aids or some other sordid story.
Why is the media focusing on the worst side of Africa? It's funny how it is not like that in other continents, that always baffles me. In Africa or Europe, media never show tarnished images of America while they do exist. Not everyone is living in the suburbs and not everyone is having their three healthy meals in the US.
Having lived in France, Senegal and the US I know first hand the realities of each continents and although poverty is dominant in Africa. It is not to the extent portrayed in the media, believe it or not most middle-class families in Africa have domestic help! They don't cook or clean, don't sweep or mop...they have domestic help!
Growing up I didn't even know how to make my own bed, I didn't start washing clothers or cooking until I came to the US. Even though, there were much more opportunities for me in the States professionally.
I am trying to send the message out there that there are paved streets, fantastic resorts and hotels, great restaurants and movie theaters in Africa...regardless of what is shown on tv. You might already know this if you've travelled there, otherwise if the TV set is all you have to go by then you're probably not considering going.
I am just trying to reduce the discomfort of many black folks when africa is brought up on tv or during conversations. It doesn't have to be this way, Africans or African-Americans not wanting to be associated with Africa in any way shape or form...that's pretty bad. Yet it is a widespread condition.
Let's change this through dialog and spreading the truth.
Today, as our nation faces some of it's most trying times, many individuals have found themselves questioning the future. From the multi-trillion dollar loss in retirement funding to the massive number of foreclosures the financial woes of Wall Street have echoed in our ears. Perhaps you have been one of the many who have said, "What am I going to do? What if I lose my savings? What if we don't have enough retirement money? What if it all gets worse? THANK GOD WE HAVE WORLDVENTURES!
THRIVING IN THE MIDST OF FEAR AND UNCERTAINTY! As I hear these questions in the hearts of so many leaders in our country, I can see the evidence of FEAR creeping in to steal power of what makes this country so great! THANK GOD WE HAVE WORLDVENTURES! America is the greatest country to live in and offers the greatestamount of freedom, opportunity, and potential. Yet, like a theif sneaking in the back door, fear seems to have made residence in the hearts of so many individuals in this time of financial uncertainty in our nation. Despite the Chaos at Wall Street, this country is still a place of Amazing Opportunity For us it's "THE PERFECT STORM" That's why we need to help everyone we can. For those who PANIC, they will be on the losing end of this season of transition for our country. If they get on board NOW they will have a season that will change their lives forever! For those that look into the muck and mire and see the opportunity, they will be able to find the diamonds in the rough.
For EXAMPLE: While some folks are complaining that this is a "terrible time to sell a home", others are seizing the moment by saying, "this is a GREAT time to buy!" Every challenge comes with AWESOME opportunity. So how do you weather this recent financial storm and make sure that you don't get caught on the short end of the stick? How do you position yourself to partake of this land of opportunity like so many other entrepeneurs will THIS SEASON?
UP YOUR PERSPECTIVE
Look For The Good In Everything: Two young twin boys were being examined by researchers as a result of their very distinctive personalities. One boy was an eternal optimist, always happy and full of cheer. The other boy was an unfortunate pessimist, who could'nt seem to find a moment's peace or happiness dispite his fortunate surroundings.
Researchers placed the pessimistic boy in a room full of every toy a boy could wish for.Meanwhile the optimist boy in a room of horse manure. After a short five minutes, the pessimist began to cry with great emotional outbursts. Researchers opened the door and said "Son, what is the matter?" You have every toy in here a boy could want."
The pessimist replied. "There are so many toys, I don't know which to play with." In the other room they heard sqealing and laughter, they peered in the room of horse manure to see the boy jumping up and down in the manure and throwing it around in the air with glee. They quickly opened the door and said, "Boy what on eaarh are you so happy about?"
The boy replied with great excitement, "With all this manure, there is surely a pony in here somewhere!!!!
This story shows us the power of perception. How do you view the "manure" around you? If you grumble in pessimism, you will miss the opportunities.
ELIMINATE FEAR
WHAT IS FEAR? It is the False Expectations Appearing Real in our lives. It is presuming the worst. exspecting grave misfortune. Fear is an anticipation that something bad is going to happen. Worry is the partner of Fear. It is the manifested bloom that emerges when fear takes root in our lives. As worry grows, anxiety, stress and a host of other symptoms bloom and radically change our perspective, our health, and our ability to think clearly.
Even when the world at large is in "crisis mode," don't let fear rule your heart. By eliminating fear, you will not only see more clearly, operate more efficiently, be more open to creativity, and have a better outlook, but you will also be adding years to your life and peace to your soul.

The healthcare establishment of the United States is willfully and secretly committing a travesty that makes the infamous Tuskegee Experiment all but inconsequential by comparison.This alarming accusation is the crux of A Modern-Day Tuskegee by Dr. David W. Moskowitz. He further asserts, “As in Tuskegee, patients are paying with their lives. Unlike Tuskegee, scientific curiosity isn’t the motivation, just greed.” Shocking indeed.
In 2002, Dr. Moskowitz published a method to reverse diabetic and hypertensive kidney failure. He declares his treatment works for whites, blacks, and Hispanics, i.e. the entire world.“Currently, 100,000 patients go on dialysis in the US each year. My method could prevent 90% of whites, and 95% of African Americans and Native Americans, from losing their kidney function.”
Dr. Moskowitz’ article goes on to explain that he has presented his research to a broad spectrum of the medical research community and while his findings have garnered private accolades they have been systematically buried from general medical exposure. Dr. Moskowitz tested his therapy for 9 years on 1000 patients. “The head of Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, with over 100 million patients, told me that my 1,000 patients weren't enough.”Come back when you have 100,000. Dr Lawrence Agodoa, called my data "beautiful" in a private conference call in early 2004. He said the rules of the NIH, his employer, refused to let him endorse a company. That's the same response the American Diabetes Association gave me, even though they partially funded the underlying research.”
Dr. Moskowitz believes he is being ignored because of the financial threat his treatment constitutes to Charity and Research institutions serving the diabetic community. “Only later did it dawn on me that they'd be eliminating 90% of their own jobs along with 90% of their budget, which would terrify any bureaucrat.Apparently, no non-profit wants to repeat the mistake of the March of Dimes, which cured their raison d'etre in the 1950s, and has been a shadow of its former self ever since.”
The indictments made in “A Modern-Day Tuskegee” are provocative and dangerous, even more so because for many they are completely believable. Memories/knowledge of the Tuskegee Experiment has instilled distrust akin to terror of the medical community amongst African Americans for decades. In the midst of catastrophic inaccessibility to healthcare, this present allegation could ignite a breach of trust that could potentially take generations to repair. Our President and our neighbors are faced with reviving a system in imminent collapse. A credible charge of blatant corruption from a system whose primary interest already appears to be profit not people could well prove the back breaking straw.

With a lot of barriers to enter the profitable wholesaling industry you can bet that the ones who have achieved any sort of success as small-sized owners are consistent and trustworthy. As a result, many of most proficient of satisfying any needs but you only need one of them though to be your best source of products for your inventory. How do you know which one? Look at these vital keys factor when making your decision.
A. What are the characteristics of a really good wholesale distributor?
First is it a legitimate business? Do not get lured in by an overly exciting appealing enticement and conduct business with an illegitimate wholesale distributor, even the offers are very striking rates. Asking about the legality of the wholesale business can be intimidating; you can check with your local government office and uncover the truth as to whether or not the wholesaler is in fact certified by law to operate a business. If it is too good to be true, it probably is.
A major pitfall like dealing with an unproven wholesale distributor can be devastating. The likelihood of someone fresh within the industry, a wholesale distributor is more liable to make many mistakes, inadequately fulfill your needs, and arraign higher cost due in part to higher overhead of operations. On the other hand, a knowledgeable wholesale distributor, not only maintains lower operational costs, they certainly take advantage of tax-exempt status that gives them the capability to offer lower market prices.
Is it better to carry out business with a wholesale distributor who performs better than its rivals than one who is not as popular? What are the advantages and competitive benefits?
You should not automatically do business with the largest wholesale distributor. The giants usually need you to meet high volume orders before they agree to any contract with you however at least with a company that has a high business rating and strong sales over a period of years as not only proven its capabilities but its dependability.
B. Is the state of the warehouses in good condition?
If at all possible, get a look at the wholesale distributor’s storage house if there is one. If the facilities give the impression of being neglected or badly maintained, it could reveal the state of affairs of the wholesale distributor is not consciously meticulous in relation to the quality of the merchandise it dispenses. Clearly, merchandise of inferior value is not worth reselling. Another indicator of the business condition is not being run efficiently is if it maintains an accurate inventory of its goods. Any discrepancy simply means that the business may not be a resourceful partner to take care of your needs.
C. What is the company financial situation?
A debts burdened wholesale distributor is not the ideal type business to attain as a partner that is incapable of collecting from their clients and low cash assets. A wholesale distributor may be required to raise its rates in order to manage its debts and recover its financial position.
D. Are there product policies
Reading the company policies ahead of time will provide you with a good idea whether the wholesale distributor will proceed justly towards you in potential transactions. What do you do if the shipment delivery is late or if the product delivered has been damaged? Be clear in your mind that your contract included any circumstances he previously specifies.
There are many Wholesalers who are fake, so watch out. However there are a lot of brilliant wholesalers on this forum who are well known and reliable so my advice is take advantage of it.
If you have any comments, welcome post and share them with others. Thanks!
You're in business to make money, so why do you keep sabotaging your profits? While some retail incentives bring people in the door, if sales don't offset the incentive, your small business profits will suffer.
Step 1 Restrict the number of loss leaders you promote in any given period. Balance your promotional loss against the number of people you think will purchase retail items as a result of the promotion. For example, if your offer three radios, valued at $100, at the loss price of $15, you need to sell an additional $245 dollars to offset the loss. Use previous sales numbers to determine what you can spend in order to make a profit.
Step 2 Resist undercutting your competitor's prices when you open your doors. You will draw in initial customers who are "looking for a deal" but the reason they will shop your small retail business is to find cheap merchandise. When you eventually raise your prices, those customers will be long gone.
Step 3 Do one of three things. Provide a better quality product, offer better service, or provide a good (not cheap) value and consistency in your small retail business. Good customer service is a rare but highly appreciated commodity in today's retail world.
Step 4 Reduce low-turnover items and fill your shelves with fast sellers. Some small business retail stores think they must carry a large variety from which their customers can choose. Wrong. They can offer custom ordering services for eccentric items but they should only stock items with a track record of fast sales. There will obviously be some errors as you learn what sells but resist buying the slow sellers.
Step 5 Promote high markup items. Some distributors suggest a retail price that is lower or higher than your typical markup. Choose high markup items to maximize your small business retail store profits.

Summer is a wonderful season for outside activities. People can have a picnic and make some sports outside. They must need tent, sleeping bag, BBQ grill, foldable picnic table, golf sets and so on.
A hat isn't only necessary to protect one's skin and keep the sun out of one's eyes; it's a cute summer accessory. There’s a wide variety of choices, from traditional wide-brim straw hats to colorful, printed fabric hats.
A necklace is an accessory worn around the neck. They are frequently in the form of metal chain with a pendant or locket often hanging from its end. Necklaces come in different styles and length that can change the look of your outfit. Of all your jewelry pieces, your necklace makes the greatest impact to your look. It gives flair and color to whatever you are wearing. The necklace you choose to wear could either make or break your outfit.
Nowadays, there are many kinds of necklaces you can choose from meaning that you may have a difficult time in deciding what kind of necklace you like best. Necklaces can usually be differentiated according to their lengths and widths. For example, the choker is the shortest necklace at fourteen to sixteen inches long, it is followed by the princess necklace which is eighteen inches long. Meanwhile, still another type of necklace is the matinee necklace which is at twenty two to twenty three inches long; this type of necklace is usually above the cleavage area. The last type of necklace is the longest one, the opera necklace; this type of necklace is below the cleavage and is placed at the breastbone.
Precious gems can also be placed in a necklace setting to give a sense of luxury and elegance to the user. The gems can come in all shapes and sizes and the necklace will give the background it needs to make things even more beautiful. On the other hand, fashionable and individual style choices should not be left out in selecting beautiful necklaces; there are bead necklaces, pearl necklaces, and even fake necklaces to suit a multitude of moods. There is no limit to the innovations being made to the once traditional necklace. It is really no wonder then that aside from the ring, the necklace is the most preferred type of jewelry being given to your special someone when an occasion arises.
Necklaces can be chokers, princess necklace, matinee necklace, opera necklace, rope necklaces (Sautoir), dog collar, bib necklace, graduated necklace and uniform necklace. Collars are typically about 13 inches long but can vary. They are most suitable to complement v-neck, boat neck or off the shoulder clothing.
A choker is about 14 inches long. It is the most classic of all necklaces. It is wrapped around and lies on the base of the neck. It can be matched with any clothing from casual to formal evening wear. Chokers set off any neckline. It is stylish when used with a button-down shirt and trendy with a cocktail dress.
If you are wearing something with high necklines, crew or low necklines or if you are not sure what's the best strand to use, a princess necklace is best for you. It is also the ideal necklace to hang a pendant.
If you are going out for a business lunch or dinner or if you are wearing something casual or something with a high neckline, a matinee necklace is best for you. It adds elegance for a more sophisticated ensemble. It also suits sundresses and formal gowns. It gives a certain zest to an outfit while giving the person wearing it a feeling of confidence.
Opera necklaces are perfect for both crew and high necklines. It can be used for both casual and formal wear. It can be doubled to function as a choker. To create an old yet classic look, you could knot it at the neckline or above the breast line.
Rope necklaces are chic and incredibly sexy. You can have clasps placed in different locations so that you could have different necklaces and bracelets or have a multi-strand choker. Like Opera necklaces, you could knot this necklace for a trendier look. If you are wearing a backless dress, you could knot this necklace and sling it over your shoulder to give your dress more flair.
Looking for the Perfect Necklace
The best thing about choosing your necklaces is that you don't have to traipse through malls in search of your necklaces as you can always shop online for fine necklaces from the comfort of your own home and go out feeling confident and trendy. Online stores have a large collection of necklaces that you can choose from, and it is updated regularly to suit whatever the trend is right now. They also display vintage pieces if you are into a more classical look.
Now that you have an idea what necklace to put on with whatever you are wearing, choosing the perfect necklace to accessorize your dress is not that daunting anymore.
In China, as early as the late Paleolithic (about 10000 years ago), there has been sprouted a “rest in eternal peace” concept. Up until today, burial is still the most common funeral of our approach. However, for die abroad pioneers, “Falling Leaves” may be just the kinds of luxury.
However, in Hunan, legends have a special way to achieve such a luxury - this is the “Vampire\If the search engine, enter “Walking corpses or Vampire”, then, most of the search results will point to a specific place names: Xiangxi. Hunan Vampire legends, and Miao are inseparable.
For a Chinese person, especially one of a traditional cast of mind, being buried away from the home town or village would be a terrible thing. Away from the family, it would be impossible for younger family members to show respect and provide spirit food and drink and burn money for use in the afterlife.
During the seventh month, when hungry ghosts separated from their families return to the earth to seek spiritual sustenance and, perhaps, living blood, then what would become of them? They might be subject to the manipulations of a tricksy Taoist priest, clad in yellow robes and armed with inscribed scriptures with which to control the ghosts.
So, there had to be developed a way to return the corpses to their home village and this is the origin of the Corpse Walkers. Two men would act as a team and would take it in turns to mount the corpse on their back to walk across the countryside back to the home village of the deceased. The degree of strength and fitness required for such a job can only be imagined, not to mention the mental fortitude to endure the proximity to the dead for day after day of heavy, sweaty work.
Inevitably, many myths and legends drew up around the work of the Corpse Walkers. Some people believed that they were able to bring the corpse back to some kind of life (or unlife) and cause it to walk along under its own power. Others thought they kept the corpse’s joints limber somehow and actually walked them with their legs tied together like wearing a kind of astronaut suit. Most people preferred to stay away from them altogether, since their association with death made them fey and unpopular and, quite possibly, the recipients of some kind of supernatural power.
Corpse Walking was essentially antithetical to Communism and, so after the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, the livelihoods of the Corpse Walkers became threatened and, in some cases, so too were their lives. Under Communism, family attachments are stripped away and geography should not matter. Indeed, attachment to the dead itself might be considered a bourgeois decadency, especially among the weak and poor. And so the practice disappeared. Might it ever reappear, now that money is available to stimulate people to meet demand for consumer goods and services.
Among the many various home decor styles present in today's homes, oriental home decor is one of the newest trends gaining huge popularity. Many people try to create authentic oriental home décor for their dwellings, but end up with piles of clichéd stuff. Therefore, you need to know first of all just what exactly oriental home decor is. You have to know very clearly what authentic oriental style is - and what is not.
Many people are looking to simplify their lives and one way to do this is to simplify their surroundings. For centuries,Chinese cultures have lived their lives surrounded by simple, yet elegant, furnishings, furniture, and art.
Oriental interiors are designed to bring peace, balance, and serenity to the space, which is kept simple and uncluttered. The quality and craftsmanship is exquisite. The style is merging with western style to create a unique Orient-influenced decor.
Oriental style interior design is lovely in just about any room. Also known as Asian style, it's versatile and bold, yet also minimalist, with rich textiles and bountiful outdoor elements. To decorate a bedroom in Oriental style, you first need to know the type of environment that you hope to create. Oriental style interior design can be soothing and relaxing for a bedroom. The following is Goodrient's decoration suggestions:
Instructions
Step 1 Paint your bedroom using colors such as tan, red and sage green. The color red is a fundamental part of Oriental style as it's generally thought of as a color that brings good luck. Other colors that are often used in Oriental style are gray and brown.
Step 2 Add furniture to your room that is dark wood. The wood should be a burgundy or chocolate tone. Light-colored furniture is not conducive to Oriental style. If you already have lighter-colored furniture, feel free to paint or stain it darker.
Step 3 Use plants in your bedroom. Oriental interior design always encompasses plants and greenery in general. To make it look especially Asian, use bamboo plants, a quintessential Asian plant. Bonsai trees look nice as well.
Step 4 Add texture to your bedroom by using accessories made out of materials such as rice paper and bamboo. Purchase bamboo frames and candles. A room divider made with dark wood and rice paper also adds an Oriental element to your decor.
Step 5 Add Oriental-themed art to your walls. The wall decor will make a strong impact. Hang framed prints of Chinese word symbols. You can also hang scrolls written with Chinese symbols. Keep the frames on the prints dark.
Some Home Foreclosures are Actually Disguised Real Estate Extortions (extracted from NEWSBLAZE: Some Home Foreclosures are Actually Disguised Real Estate Extortions)
Some people think that those who fall delinquent on their mortgage debts deserve whatever happens to them. Deadbeats, is what they call us, even when becoming delinquent on a debt was an unavoidable occurrence. Some of us (like me) did not know that marriage failure would bankrupt us. My story is about what collection on a loan via fraud and deception can do to a person.
For 4 years, I fought through the court systems to prevent the fraudulent taking of my home. In so doing, I was repeatedly ravished by merciless litigators. They caused me lost jobs and blacklisting. I was always vilified and made to seem like a crazy outcast. I was persecuted and castigated by judges; I spent lots of ill-affordable money in legal costs; my privacy was shockingly, repeatedly invaded; I was falsely arrested; at one occasion, I was so tormented, I went to the bathroom on myself; and my freedom yet remains in jeopardy. Also, there's an amazing plethora of distorted humiliating documents and statements about me in federal court records.
Foreclosure mill attorney, deliberately filed a foreclosure in the name of an entity which did not have standing for my New Orleans mortgage loan. I might not have been inclined to fight so hard for my home if it were not for the deceptive method in which I could lose it. Red flags led me to search and find out there was no "perfected lien" on my home; and that a novated loan document was not lawfully enforceable.
During litigations, an Affidavit (posted on my website), signed by the "successor" mortgage company came to light. Years, later, due to Wells Fargo filing a false IRS form 1099-A for my property, I had Internal Revenue enquiries. . ." *Read entire article @ http://newsblaze.com/story/20100411123047lawg.nb/topstory.html

You can efficiently control your budget and not overspend by having a list of furniture that you need according to its essentiality.Buying whole baby furniture set is another method of cutting the price since acquiring each piece separately will cost you more.

Kamal is Harambee Radio and TV Spoken Word of the Year!
Back in the days in the 1980's hip hop era, it was all about peace, love, unity and having fun! All in one epoch of time there was the fusion of black consciousness, hip hop, and drugs. On top of that, teenagers will do what teenagers will do. This movie has a comedic realism along with some serious lessons to be learned. It is the perfect conversation piece for parents and their children as well as educators.

Can too much information be dangerous for you? It may not seem like it, but the answer to that question is YES! This is exactly what happens when you try to quit smoking; the information overload can become very overwhelming. To be successful in kicking the habit for good, keeping things simple with an easy approach is a good way to keep the frustration from getting out of hand.
When trying to keep things easy, having an organized plan in place can really pay dividends in your process to stop smoking. When you un-complicate things you will find it a lot less stressful and easier to deal with. But keeping your discipline with the simplicity of things is your key to your success.
Are there certain things such as your surroundings or particular situations which cause you to pick up that cigarette and smoke? Is it a stress relief in helping you calm down, or contain emotions when they get out of hand? This is generally the second main reason that smokers continually smoke (the first being the natural addiction to nicotine) Although they both go hand in hand but being able to identify your moods or emotions and finding solutions to them other than smoking is an absolute must.
I believe in creating your own environment around you. With that being said, I find it very important to re-build your surroundings. This may even include asking friends or family members to not smoke around you, changing things with in your daily life/routine that reminds you of smoking, or even just changing a few things in your home to. Simple changes go a long way!
If you haven’t already, find a hobby! Not only is this a must for all people, but I find this to be especially true for individuals who are trying to stop smoking. This has a HUGE effect on your daily life, how you feel and finding something that really interests you. This will enable your brain to stay occupied while being able to enjoy its favorite pass time. This is highly under rated, but I find it to be the most effective method to help the process. Remember, you must find something that you really enjoy doing. For example, sports, activities, reading comics, drawing…etc.
Are these a little too simple? Maybe! But that is the beauty of keeping it simple. Most would figure that these are a waste of time, but if you combine these natural techniques to help support your current methods to stop smoking you will find that it helps a great deal in being able to cope with your withdrawals while you are in process of quitting smoking.
With so much information surrounding us on quitting smoking, it is very easy to become frustrated and overwhelmed. This ultimately leads to not being able to kick the habit for good. This is due to the fact that our thoughts cannot focus on the important factors that require you to actually quit smoking.
What ends up happening is that we tend to jump from one method to another. This only allows us to focus our attention to each method with a specific short period of time before we jump to the next. This is a classic example as to why too much information on a single subject can become more dangerous than good and smoking falls into one of those subjects! So to break it down, I want to get into some simple, yet effective tips that can help guide you with your process in trying to quit smoking.
Once you have come to the final decision that you are ready to completely quit smoking for good, it is time to start planning for your success. Creating a foundation to build on is the first step. Creating goals, daily logs, or a journal is a good way to start. Pick a day to begin and stick to your agenda.
Another simple yet effective way to help you is your imagination! Most would call this a ridiculous technique, but in actuality it really is a way to provide you with a greater sense of well being. This is done by picturing yourself, your health and life in a better state. Seeing yourself where you should be and where you will be. Closing your eyes while taking slow deep breaths in a quiet comfortable setting can have a big positive effect on how you see things. It really does rub off into reality.
Generally, for smokers the main reason that quitting becomes a difficult task is due to their personal situation. This is usually based on stress or certain moods which cause the need for smoking. Finding what these situations are and being able to find its main cause can help you find alternative solutions to smoking. Identify what maybe causing you to feel certain ways and work around them.
Are these a little too simple? Maybe! But that is the beauty of keeping it simple. Most would figure that these are a waste of time, but if you combine these natural techniques to help support your current methods to stop smoking you will find that it helps a great deal in being able to cope with your withdrawals while you are in process of quitting smoking.

Why Africa has such a bad imag Why Africa has such a bad image?
Has everyone noticed how every time Africa is brought up in the media? it's a always a sad picture: hungry children with swollen bellies, surrounded by flies and walking bare feet....And if it's not that, then it's images of civil wars, rebellion, aids or some other sordid story.
Why is the media focusing on the worst side of Africa? It's funny how it is not like that in other continents, that always baffles me. In Africa or Europe, media never show tarnished images of America while they do exist. Not everyone is living in the suburbs and not everyone is having their three healthy meals in the US.
Having lived in France, Senegal and the US I know first hand the realities of each continents and although poverty is dominant in Africa. It is not to the extent portrayed in the media, believe it or not most middle-class families in Africa have domestic help! They don't cook or clean, don't sweep or mop...they have domestic help!
Growing up I didn't even know how to make my own bed, I didn't start washing clothers or cooking until I came to the US. Even though, there were much more opportunities for me in the States professionally.
I am trying to send the message out there that there are paved streets, fantastic resorts and hotels, great restaurants and movie theaters in Africa...regardless of what is shown on tv. You might already know this if you've travelled there, otherwise if the TV set is all you have to go by then you're probably not considering going.
I am just trying to reduce the discomfort of many black folks when africa is brought up on tv or during conversations. It doesn't have to be this way, Africans or African-Americans not wanting to be associated with Africa in any way shape or form...that's pretty bad. Yet it is a widespread condition.
Let's change this through dialog and spreading the truth.
Thanks
Thank God For World Ventures! Thank God For World Ventures!
THANK GOD WE HAVE WORLDVENTURES!
Today, as our nation faces some of it's most trying times, many individuals have found themselves questioning the future. From the multi-trillion dollar loss in retirement funding to the massive number of foreclosures the financial woes of Wall Street have echoed in our ears. Perhaps you have been one of the many who have said, "What am I going to do? What if I lose my savings? What if we don't have enough retirement money? What if it all gets worse? THANK GOD WE HAVE WORLDVENTURES!
THRIVING IN THE MIDST OF FEAR AND UNCERTAINTY!
As I hear these questions in the hearts of so many leaders in our country, I can see the evidence of FEAR creeping in to steal power of what makes this country so great!
THANK GOD WE HAVE WORLDVENTURES!
America is the greatest country to live in and offers the greatestamount of freedom, opportunity, and potential. Yet, like a theif sneaking in the back door, fear seems to have made residence in the hearts of so many individuals in this time of financial uncertainty in our nation. Despite the Chaos at Wall Street, this country is still a place of Amazing Opportunity For us it's "THE PERFECT STORM" That's why we need to help everyone we can. For those who PANIC, they will be on the losing end of this season of transition for our country. If they get on board NOW they will have a season that will change their lives forever! For those that look into the muck and mire and see the opportunity, they will be able to find the diamonds in the rough.
For EXAMPLE: While some folks are complaining that this is a "terrible time to sell a home", others are seizing the moment by saying, "this is a GREAT time to buy!" Every challenge comes with AWESOME opportunity. So how do you weather this recent financial storm and make sure that you don't get caught on the short end of the stick? How do you position yourself to partake of this land of opportunity like so many other entrepeneurs will THIS SEASON?
UP YOUR PERSPECTIVE
Look For The Good In Everything: Two young twin boys were being examined by researchers as a result of their very distinctive personalities. One boy was an eternal optimist, always happy and full of cheer. The other boy was an unfortunate pessimist, who could'nt seem to find a moment's peace or happiness dispite his fortunate surroundings.
Researchers placed the pessimistic boy in a room full of every toy a boy could wish for.Meanwhile the optimist boy in a room of horse manure. After a short five minutes, the pessimist began to cry with great emotional outbursts. Researchers opened the door and said "Son, what is the matter?" You have every toy in here a boy could want."
The pessimist replied. "There are so many toys, I don't know which to play with." In the other room they heard sqealing and laughter, they peered in the room of horse manure to see the boy jumping up and down in the manure and throwing it around in the air with glee. They quickly opened the door and said, "Boy what on eaarh are you so happy about?"
The boy replied with great excitement, "With all this manure, there is surely a pony in here somewhere!!!!
This story shows us the power of perception. How do you view the "manure" around you? If you grumble in pessimism, you will miss the opportunities.
ELIMINATE FEAR
WHAT IS FEAR? It is the False Expectations Appearing Real in our lives. It is presuming the worst. exspecting grave misfortune. Fear is an anticipation that something bad is going to happen. Worry is the partner of Fear. It is the manifested bloom that emerges when fear takes root in our lives. As worry grows, anxiety, stress and a host of other symptoms bloom and radically change our perspective, our health, and our ability to think clearly.
Even when the world at large is in "crisis mode," don't let fear rule your heart. By eliminating fear, you will not only see more clearly, operate more efficiently, be more open to creativity, and have a better outlook, but you will also be adding years to your life and peace to your soul.
THANK GOD WE HAVE WORLDVENTURES AS AN ANSWER TO HOW TO HELP OTHERS NOT WORRY ANYMORE!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST
GIVE THANKS
Have an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE!
NO MATTER WHAT THE NEGATIVE EMOTION MIGHT BE THAT TRIES TO STEAL YOUR JOY!
It might be as simple as saying Thank You God for my Children. Thank you for my home. Thank you for my shoes. Thank you for my health. Each one of us has something to be grateful for Today. Even if the world seems to be falling apart there is still much to appreciate. Stop Now. Close your eyes...Instead of focusing on the chaos and turmoil around you, allow your mind to list at least 10 things you have to be thankful for right now.
Let your life be a catalyst of encouragement, hope, and change for someone else!
START BY TAKING A LOOK AT THE WORLDVENTURES EXPERIENCE! Then email me so we can talk about how YOU can have fun and be FREE!

In short, you bless us, the first thing we’ll do is give half back to you. Well…second thing; first thing we’ll do is pay the taxes.

A Modern Day Tuskegee? A Modern Day Tuskegee?
The healthcare establishment of the United States is willfully and secretly committing a travesty that makes the infamous Tuskegee Experiment all but inconsequential by comparison. This alarming accusation is the crux of A Modern-Day Tuskegee by Dr. David W. Moskowitz. He further asserts, “As in Tuskegee, patients are paying with their lives. Unlike Tuskegee, scientific curiosity isn’t the motivation, just greed.” Shocking indeed.
In 2002, Dr. Moskowitz published a method to reverse diabetic and hypertensive kidney failure. He declares his treatment works for whites, blacks, and Hispanics, i.e. the entire world. “Currently, 100,000 patients go on dialysis in the US each year. My method could prevent 90% of whites, and 95% of African Americans and Native Americans, from losing their kidney function.”
Dr. Moskowitz’ article goes on to explain that he has presented his research to a broad spectrum of the medical research community and while his findings have garnered private accolades they have been systematically buried from general medical exposure. Dr. Moskowitz tested his therapy for 9 years on 1000 patients. “The head of Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, with over 100 million patients, told me that my 1,000 patients weren't enough.”Come back when you have 100,000. Dr Lawrence Agodoa, called my data "beautiful" in a private conference call in early 2004. He said the rules of the NIH, his employer, refused to let him endorse a company. That's the same response the American Diabetes Association gave me, even though they partially funded the underlying research.”
Dr. Moskowitz believes he is being ignored because of the financial threat his treatment constitutes to Charity and Research institutions serving the diabetic community. “Only later did it dawn on me that they'd be eliminating 90% of their own jobs along with 90% of their budget, which would terrify any bureaucrat. Apparently, no non-profit wants to repeat the mistake of the March of Dimes, which cured their raison d'etre in the 1950s, and has been a shadow of its former self ever since.”
The indictments made in “A Modern-Day Tuskegee” are provocative and dangerous, even more so because for many they are completely believable. Memories/knowledge of the Tuskegee Experiment has instilled distrust akin to terror of the medical community amongst African Americans for decades. In the midst of catastrophic inaccessibility to healthcare, this present allegation could ignite a breach of trust that could potentially take generations to repair. Our President and our neighbors are faced with reviving a system in imminent collapse. A credible charge of blatant corruption from a system whose primary interest already appears to be profit not people could well prove the back breaking straw.

Need A Vacation? Need A Vacation?
Have you ever wanted to take a vacation but your funds weren't right at the time? Have you taken a vacation and once you arrived you had to scramble around and or wait for a cab or a shuttle to take you to your resort/hotel? Or, have you arrived and unpacked and wondered what to do next because you didn't have a clue as to what activiites there were available?
Well, I know the feeling because I was once there too! Before I knew about World Ventures, I didn't vacation very often and even then, I had to wait until my income tax check came. Sound familiar?
World Ventures offers options to take as many trips a year as you choose and they are affordable because they are WHOLESALE! Transfers from the airport to and from your resort are included along with pre-planned activities and quite a few of these vacation packages are priced around $300 per person, double occupancy. Now that's what I'm talking about!
Right Now we have a 4 day /3 night to Vegas in December staying at the MGM Grand Hotel and Resort for $279! Another one is a 5 day /4 night at the RIU CANCUN 5 Star All-Inclusive Resort for $329, that's all your meals, and adult drinks plus activities and transfers! Oh, and did I mention you can choose to earn commissions on the vacations you plan for yourself and get tax Advantages! It's your choice. Now that's what I'm talking about!! Why let someone you don't even know at Travelocity or Expedia earn what you could be putting back into your pocket.....
What harm is there in taking a look at what World Ventures can do for you? Dosen't cost a thing to look. To know more, email me and I'll fill you in. For a limited time I'll even give you a 3 day 2 night vacation giveaway certificate just for taking a looking. Email me with and I'll send you the link.
Look forward to talking with you soon,

New to Wholesale? Here are a f New to Wholesale? Here are a few tips
With a lot of barriers to enter the profitable wholesaling industry you can bet that the ones who have achieved any sort of success as small-sized owners are consistent and trustworthy. As a result, many of most proficient of satisfying any needs but you only need one of them though to be your best source of products for your inventory. How do you know which one? Look at these vital keys factor when making your decision.
A. What are the characteristics of a really good wholesale distributor?
First is it a legitimate business? Do not get lured in by an overly exciting appealing enticement and conduct business with an illegitimate wholesale distributor, even the offers are very striking rates. Asking about the legality of the wholesale business can be intimidating; you can check with your local government office and uncover the truth as to whether or not the wholesaler is in fact certified by law to operate a business. If it is too good to be true, it probably is.
A major pitfall like dealing with an unproven wholesale distributor can be devastating. The likelihood of someone fresh within the industry, a wholesale distributor is more liable to make many mistakes, inadequately fulfill your needs, and arraign higher cost due in part to higher overhead of operations. On the other hand, a knowledgeable wholesale distributor, not only maintains lower operational costs, they certainly take advantage of tax-exempt status that gives them the capability to offer lower market prices.
Is it better to carry out business with a wholesale distributor who performs better than its rivals than one who is not as popular? What are the advantages and competitive benefits?
You should not automatically do business with the largest wholesale distributor. The giants usually need you to meet high volume orders before they agree to any contract with you however at least with a company that has a high business rating and strong sales over a period of years as not only proven its capabilities but its dependability.
B. Is the state of the warehouses in good condition?
If at all possible, get a look at the wholesale distributor’s storage house if there is one. If the facilities give the impression of being neglected or badly maintained, it could reveal the state of affairs of the wholesale distributor is not consciously meticulous in relation to the quality of the merchandise it dispenses. Clearly, merchandise of inferior value is not worth reselling. Another indicator of the business condition is not being run efficiently is if it maintains an accurate inventory of its goods. Any discrepancy simply means that the business may not be a resourceful partner to take care of your needs.
C. What is the company financial situation?
A debts burdened wholesale distributor is not the ideal type business to attain as a partner that is incapable of collecting from their clients and low cash assets. A wholesale distributor may be required to raise its rates in order to manage its debts and recover its financial position.
D. Are there product policies
Reading the company policies ahead of time will provide you with a good idea whether the wholesale distributor will proceed justly towards you in potential transactions. What do you do if the shipment delivery is late or if the product delivered has been damaged? Be clear in your mind that your contract included any circumstances he previously specifies.
There are many Wholesalers who are fake, so watch out. However there are a lot of brilliant wholesalers on this forum who are well known and reliable so my advice is take advantage of it.
If you have any comments, welcome post and share them with others. Thanks!
How to Increase Your Small Bus How to Increase Your Small Business Retail Profits
You're in business to make money, so why do you keep sabotaging your profits? While some retail incentives bring people in the door, if sales don't offset the incentive, your small business profits will suffer.
Step 1 Restrict the number of loss leaders you promote in any given period. Balance your promotional loss against the number of people you think will purchase retail items as a result of the promotion. For example, if your offer three radios, valued at $100, at the loss price of $15, you need to sell an additional $245 dollars to offset the loss. Use previous sales numbers to determine what you can spend in order to make a profit.
Step 2 Resist undercutting your competitor's prices when you open your doors. You will draw in initial customers who are "looking for a deal" but the reason they will shop your small retail business is to find cheap merchandise. When you eventually raise your prices, those customers will be long gone.
Step 3 Do one of three things. Provide a better quality product, offer better service, or provide a good (not cheap) value and consistency in your small retail business. Good customer service is a rare but highly appreciated commodity in today's retail world.
Step 4 Reduce low-turnover items and fill your shelves with fast sellers. Some small business retail stores think they must carry a large variety from which their customers can choose. Wrong. They can offer custom ordering services for eccentric items but they should only stock items with a track record of fast sales. There will obviously be some errors as you learn what sells but resist buying the slow sellers.
Step 5 Promote high markup items. Some distributors suggest a retail price that is lower or higher than your typical markup. Choose high markup items to maximize your small business retail store profits.

Wonderful Necklace Wonderful Necklace
A necklace is an accessory worn around the neck. They are frequently in the form of metal chain with a pendant or locket often hanging from its end. Necklaces come in different styles and length that can change the look of your outfit. Of all your jewelry pieces, your necklace makes the greatest impact to your look. It gives flair and color to whatever you are wearing. The necklace you choose to wear could either make or break your outfit.
Nowadays, there are many kinds of necklaces you can choose from meaning that you may have a difficult time in deciding what kind of necklace you like best. Necklaces can usually be differentiated according to their lengths and widths. For example, the choker is the shortest necklace at fourteen to sixteen inches long, it is followed by the princess necklace which is eighteen inches long. Meanwhile, still another type of necklace is the matinee necklace which is at twenty two to twenty three inches long; this type of necklace is usually above the cleavage area. The last type of necklace is the longest one, the opera necklace; this type of necklace is below the cleavage and is placed at the breastbone.
Precious gems can also be placed in a necklace setting to give a sense of luxury and elegance to the user. The gems can come in all shapes and sizes and the necklace will give the background it needs to make things even more beautiful. On the other hand, fashionable and individual style choices should not be left out in selecting beautiful necklaces; there are bead necklaces, pearl necklaces, and even fake necklaces to suit a multitude of moods. There is no limit to the innovations being made to the once traditional necklace. It is really no wonder then that aside from the ring, the necklace is the most preferred type of jewelry being given to your special someone when an occasion arises.
Necklaces can be chokers, princess necklace, matinee necklace, opera necklace, rope necklaces (Sautoir), dog collar, bib necklace, graduated necklace and uniform necklace. Collars are typically about 13 inches long but can vary. They are most suitable to complement v-neck, boat neck or off the shoulder clothing.
A choker is about 14 inches long. It is the most classic of all necklaces. It is wrapped around and lies on the base of the neck. It can be matched with any clothing from casual to formal evening wear. Chokers set off any neckline. It is stylish when used with a button-down shirt and trendy with a cocktail dress.
If you are wearing something with high necklines, crew or low necklines or if you are not sure what's the best strand to use, a princess necklace is best for you. It is also the ideal necklace to hang a pendant.
If you are going out for a business lunch or dinner or if you are wearing something casual or something with a high neckline, a matinee necklace is best for you. It adds elegance for a more sophisticated ensemble. It also suits sundresses and formal gowns. It gives a certain zest to an outfit while giving the person wearing it a feeling of confidence.
Opera necklaces are perfect for both crew and high necklines. It can be used for both casual and formal wear. It can be doubled to function as a choker. To create an old yet classic look, you could knot it at the neckline or above the breast line.
Rope necklaces are chic and incredibly sexy. You can have clasps placed in different locations so that you could have different necklaces and bracelets or have a multi-strand choker. Like Opera necklaces, you could knot this necklace for a trendier look. If you are wearing a backless dress, you could knot this necklace and sling it over your shoulder to give your dress more flair.
Looking for the Perfect Necklace
The best thing about choosing your necklaces is that you don't have to traipse through malls in search of your necklaces as you can always shop online for fine necklaces from the comfort of your own home and go out feeling confident and trendy. Online stores have a large collection of necklaces that you can choose from, and it is updated regularly to suit whatever the trend is right now. They also display vintage pieces if you are into a more classical look.
Now that you have an idea what necklace to put on with whatever you are wearing, choosing the perfect necklace to accessorize your dress is not that daunting anymore.

In China, as early as the late Paleolithic (about 10000 years ago), there has been sprouted a “rest in eternal peace” concept. Up until today, burial is still the most common funeral of our approach. However, for die abroad pioneers, “Falling Leaves” may be just the kinds of luxury.
However, in Hunan, legends have a special way to achieve such a luxury - this is the “Vampire\If the search engine, enter “Walking corpses or Vampire”, then, most of the search results will point to a specific place names: Xiangxi. Hunan Vampire legends, and Miao are inseparable.
For a Chinese person, especially one of a traditional cast of mind, being buried away from the home town or village would be a terrible thing. Away from the family, it would be impossible for younger family members to show respect and provide spirit food and drink and burn money for use in the afterlife.
During the seventh month, when hungry ghosts separated from their families return to the earth to seek spiritual sustenance and, perhaps, living blood, then what would become of them? They might be subject to the manipulations of a tricksy Taoist priest, clad in yellow robes and armed with inscribed scriptures with which to control the ghosts.
So, there had to be developed a way to return the corpses to their home village and this is the origin of the Corpse Walkers. Two men would act as a team and would take it in turns to mount the corpse on their back to walk across the countryside back to the home village of the deceased. The degree of strength and fitness required for such a job can only be imagined, not to mention the mental fortitude to endure the proximity to the dead for day after day of heavy, sweaty work.
Inevitably, many myths and legends drew up around the work of the Corpse Walkers. Some people believed that they were able to bring the corpse back to some kind of life (or unlife) and cause it to walk along under its own power. Others thought they kept the corpse’s joints limber somehow and actually walked them with their legs tied together like wearing a kind of astronaut suit. Most people preferred to stay away from them altogether, since their association with death made them fey and unpopular and, quite possibly, the recipients of some kind of supernatural power.
Corpse Walking was essentially antithetical to Communism and, so after the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, the livelihoods of the Corpse Walkers became threatened and, in some cases, so too were their lives. Under Communism, family attachments are stripped away and geography should not matter. Indeed, attachment to the dead itself might be considered a bourgeois decadency, especially among the weak and poor. And so the practice disappeared. Might it ever reappear, now that money is available to stimulate people to meet demand for consumer goods and services.
Decorate your home with Orient Decorate your home with Oriental elements
Among the many various home decor styles present in today's homes, oriental home decor is one of the newest trends gaining huge popularity. Many people try to create authentic oriental home décor for their dwellings, but end up with piles of clichéd stuff. Therefore, you need to know first of all just what exactly oriental home decor is. You have to know very clearly what authentic oriental style is - and what is not.
Many people are looking to simplify their lives and one way to do this is to simplify their surroundings. For centuries,Chinese cultures have lived their lives surrounded by simple, yet elegant, furnishings, furniture, and art.
Oriental interiors are designed to bring peace, balance, and serenity to the space, which is kept simple and uncluttered. The quality and craftsmanship is exquisite. The style is merging with western style to create a unique Orient-influenced decor.
Oriental style interior design is lovely in just about any room. Also known as Asian style, it's versatile and bold, yet also minimalist, with rich textiles and bountiful outdoor elements. To decorate a bedroom in Oriental style, you first need to know the type of environment that you hope to create. Oriental style interior design can be soothing and relaxing for a bedroom. The following is Goodrient's decoration suggestions:
Instructions
Step 1 Paint your bedroom using colors such as tan, red and sage green. The color red is a fundamental part of Oriental style as it's generally thought of as a color that brings good luck. Other colors that are often used in Oriental style are gray and brown.
Step 2 Add furniture to your room that is dark wood. The wood should be a burgundy or chocolate tone. Light-colored furniture is not conducive to Oriental style. If you already have lighter-colored furniture, feel free to paint or stain it darker.
Step 3 Use plants in your bedroom. Oriental interior design always encompasses plants and greenery in general. To make it look especially Asian, use bamboo plants, a quintessential Asian plant. Bonsai trees look nice as well.
Step 4 Add texture to your bedroom by using accessories made out of materials such as rice paper and bamboo. Purchase bamboo frames and candles. A room divider made with dark wood and rice paper also adds an Oriental element to your decor.
Step 5 Add Oriental-themed art to your walls. The wall decor will make a strong impact. Hang framed prints of Chinese word symbols. You can also hang scrolls written with Chinese symbols. Keep the frames on the prints dark.
Some Home Foreclosures are Act Some Home Foreclosures are Actually Disguised Real Estate Extortions
Some Home Foreclosures are Actually Disguised Real Estate Extortions (extracted from NEWSBLAZE: Some Home Foreclosures are Actually Disguised Real Estate Extortions)
Some people think that those who fall delinquent on their mortgage debts deserve whatever happens to them. Deadbeats, is what they call us, even when becoming delinquent on a debt was an unavoidable occurrence. Some of us (like me) did not know that marriage failure would bankrupt us. My story is about what collection on a loan via fraud and deception can do to a person.
For 4 years, I fought through the court systems to prevent the fraudulent taking of my home. In so doing, I was repeatedly ravished by merciless litigators. They caused me lost jobs and blacklisting. I was always vilified and made to seem like a crazy outcast. I was persecuted and castigated by judges; I spent lots of ill-affordable money in legal costs; my privacy was shockingly, repeatedly invaded; I was falsely arrested; at one occasion, I was so tormented, I went to the bathroom on myself; and my freedom yet remains in jeopardy. Also, there's an amazing plethora of distorted humiliating documents and statements about me in federal court records.
Foreclosure mill attorney, deliberately filed a foreclosure in the name of an entity which did not have standing for my New Orleans mortgage loan. I might not have been inclined to fight so hard for my home if it were not for the deceptive method in which I could lose it. Red flags led me to search and find out there was no "perfected lien" on my home; and that a novated loan document was not lawfully enforceable.
During litigations, an Affidavit (posted on my website), signed by the "successor" mortgage company came to light. Years, later, due to Wells Fargo filing a false IRS form 1099-A for my property, I had Internal Revenue enquiries. . ." *Read entire article @ http://newsblaze.com/story/20100411123047lawg.nb/topstory.html

When you un-complicate things you will find it a lot less stressful and easier to deal with. But keeping your discipline with the simplicity of things is your key to your success.
Are there certain things such as your surroundings or particular situations which cause you to pick up that cigarette and smoke? Is it a stress relief in helping you calm down, or contain emotions when they get out of hand? This is generally the second main reason that smokers continually smoke (the first being the natural addiction to nicotine) Although they both go hand in hand but being able to identify your moods or emotions and finding solutions to them other than smoking is an absolute must.
I believe in creating your own environment around you. With that being said, I find it very important to re-build your surroundings. This may even include asking friends or family members to not smoke around you, changing things with in your daily life/routine that reminds you of smoking, or even just changing a few things in your home to. Simple changes go a long way!
If you haven’t already, find a hobby! Not only is this a must for all people, but I find this to be especially true for individuals who are trying to stop smoking. This has a HUGE effect on your daily life, how you feel and finding something that really interests you. This will enable your brain to stay occupied while being able to enjoy its favorite pass time. This is highly under rated, but I find it to be the most effective method to help the process. Remember, you must find something that you really enjoy doing. For example, sports, activities, reading comics, drawing…etc.
Are these a little too simple? Maybe! But that is the beauty of keeping it simple. Most would figure that these are a waste of time, but if you combine these natural techniques to help support your current methods to stop smoking you will find that it helps a great deal in being able to cope with your withdrawals while you are in process of quitting smoking.
