We are continuing to hear of interest in the Churches of God Conference in Tulsa, Okla., on July 28, 29 and 30. So far 100-plus church representatives plus spouses and other members have indicated they will attend.
Also, a dozen or more who are not on the official list have indicated they will attend. If anyone knows of others who plan to attend, please ask them to contact me. This will help in our arrangements with the hotel.
Most of us have received questions about what will be accomplished by this conference. Hopefully, we all believe, with God's help and our own prayerful, sincere and humble effort to work together, it will be clearly evidenced to us how and what we are to do.
Surely the words of David in Psalm 133:1 and Paul in 2 Corinthians 6:1, 6 are appropriate for us at this time of our church history as we come together with unfeigned love for this discussion session.
Please remember to refer to the Churches of God Conference 2000 when you make your hotel reservation to receive the special rate and to help reduce the meeting-room costs: the Sheraton Tulsa Hotel, 10918 E. 41st St., Tulsa. Phone (918) 627-5000 or (800) 325-3535.
The following people have indicated their intention to attend: John Akins, Steven Andrews, Dave Antion, Darl Arbogast, Chris Barr, Paul Bell, John Bobetsky, Rodney Boone, Erroll Brown, Allan Burlison, Hugh Butrick, Anthony Buzzard, Al Carrozzo, Dixon Cartwright, Benjamin Chapman, Lee Clark, David Cohen, Wayne Cole, Steven Collins, Harold Cormany, Richard Cress, George Crow, Julian Cruz, Ron Dart, Sidney Davis, Donald Deakins, Pat Dennis, Floyd Dodson, John Edmonds, Norman Edwards, Don Esposito, Bill Faith, Gary Fakhoury, Jack Fike, Cosden Foland, William Fowler, Janet Friedricks, Enrique Gabuyo, Dan Girouard, Ken Gordon, Lawrence Gregory, Alfred Harrell, Dave Havir, Jeff Henderson, William C.

For details of the Tulsa conference, see "Tulsa Pastor Says More Can Be Done to Preach the Gospel," Jan. 31, page 1. See also information and reservation form on page 23 of the same issue. Phone the sponsoring Tulsa Church of God or its pastor, Mr. Gregory, at (918) 918 622-3448.
It is an answer to prayer: the attitude that is surfacing within a lot of the brethren of the various COGs. They want to do a work together, put differences aside and truly desire a unity of mind and spirit.
I have written letters to The Journal and Servants' News about this very thing, and I have prayed for the attitude of reconciliation. We need to stop the mudslinging and start the healing process with agape love. It will heal us of anything under the sun.
If our own children were to put one another down and not visit each other, how would we feel as a parent? Do you think that God, the perfect Parent, is grieved in His heart? I think you know the answer.
We as a collective body need to pray for the success of the meetings coming in June and July, meetings of brethren from various groups. If we put our whole heart into praying for their success, it will happen!
God is merciful, loving and kind and no respecter of persons. We need to become the same way regardless of what group we belong to.
The inner work is the important work within the Body of Christ. When we get the inside of the cup clean, the physical growth will be greater than it has been. Let's get to work together.
In The Journal of April 30, Jamaican Church of God International pastor Ian Boyne made unsubstantiated, uninformed and unwarranted allegations regarding me. After much consideration, I have decided to respond to his remarks. I believe it would be irresponsible to just stand by and let these false allegations go unchallenged.
It is troubling that Mr. Boyne would make potentially damaging charges on the record in front of the brethren in reference to my character and then allow them to be published with no allusion to scriptural specifics whatsoever.
In the vernacular this is called a cheap shot, and it is not a nice thing for a "man of God" to do.
To my knowledge Ian Boyne has yet to openly mention or publish anything biblically specific regarding something I teach that is in fact "contrary to Scripture." His publishing now, therefore, of unsupported accusations, amounts to malicious, idle talk (Matthew 12:36-37).
Mr. Boyne was quoted in The Journal April 30 ("Pastor Reports on Jamaican Passover, Assesses Other Ministries"): "We simply have to find a balance between Gerald Flurry and Dave Pack, on one hand, and Norm Edwards and Paul Haney on the other. The two extremes they represent have failed to produce any sustainable growth and are contrary to Scripture."
In reality, I doubt that Mr. Boyne knows much about what I represent. As an independent, traveling, ordained minister of Jesus Christ, I have no congregation under me, growing or otherwise. Christ Fellowship Ministries is a seventh-day-Sabbath-keeping Christian ministry to the glory of Christ, an outreach ministry to the sheep of our Savior and a "harvest" ministry.
We accept and believe that Scripture teaches the precept that all members of the Body are spiritually united in Him. Therefore we welcome with open arms into spiritual fellowship all who genuinely seek the testimony of Christ so bridges of godly love may be established and eventually extended to all mankind.
CFM has an ongoing "Bibles for Prisoners" program that to date has sent more than 650 high-quality Bibles (our cost about $15 each) and assorted literature to men and women in U.S. prisons after personal requests from the prisoners.
CFM is always open to spiritual growth in Christ and to new and better understanding of God's Word. Therefore we search and study Scripture according to Acts 17:11, remembering: "He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him" (Proverbs 18:13).
We recognize that some Christians carelessly jump to conclusions and prejudge others on little more than unfounded rumor or hearsay and gossip. Jesus said: "Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?" (John 7:51).
No, it does not. The implication: "Then, why do you do it?"
This is my formal challenge to Ian Boyne: Produce clear biblical texts supporting your charges that I am (a) teaching things "contrary to Scripture" and (b) that what I represent is an extreme position, or submit an immediate apology to me in bold type to run in two consecutive issues of The Journal for all to see--immediately.
Indeed, I would welcome a cordial, nonconfrontational, Scripture-based debate with Mr. Boyne on anything I teach, point by point, that he thinks is contrary to Scripture. Certainly I would agree to change any position I hold if it can be shown by plain, unadulterated Scripture (as opposed to private and distinctive interpretations thereof) that what I teach is in fact contrary to the written Word of God.
I would expect Mr. Boyne to agree to similarly change when shown the error of his ways.
I do admit to teaching things that are contrary to Church of God traditions, but, then, the Bible has a little bit to say about man's traditions.
I would like to see Mr. Boyne scripturally support his teaching to Protestant seminary students the New Age heresy that "man will become God" (see The Journal, July 31, 1998; June 30, July 28, 1999).
I would like to see Mr. Boyne scripturally support his teaching to the same Protestant students that "the Armstrong movement is the only true church," which he "still passionately believes."
I would also like to see him define "Armstrong movement." I wonder how many of the brethren might agree or how many even realize they are in such an association, since he seems to openly represent it (and them) before at least one Protestant denomination.
Mr. Boyne's view that "man will become God" is one of the original lies and heresies of the great deceiver, Satan, the father of lies and a murderer from the beginning (Genesis 3:4-5).
I believe the doctrine is an arrogant, self-promoting heresy of the worst sort. I further believe that the doctrine Mr. Boyne so ardently supports ought to be roundly condemned by every person who calls upon the name of the Lord and the Father in spirit and in truth.
Rather than unfairly and inappropriately attacking other ministries, Mr. Boyne would do well to mind his own store and resolve primarily to bring glory to Jesus Christ, our present-ruling King, every day.
I suggest you start a series titled "The Real Tough Questions" in which readers can submit such and let the experts respond.
For example, 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 says women shouldn't speak "in the churches." Many take this to mean they aren't allowed to preach. Yet the context of the chapter deals with speaking in tongues.
Verse 27 says if a man can't be understood he should shut up.
Presumably verses 34-35 say a woman speaking in tongues should shut up regardless. This does not appear to be dealing with preaching, whether men or women. So, if women can prophesy, preaching is okay.
How about answers to this?
In the May 31 issue, in "Letters" ["Makes You Think," page 2], Jim Edwards extols the virtues of women with great gusto. His opinion of males is enlightening--even more than God's, it would appear, in relation to leadership in His church.
I pass along to Mr. Edwards the apostle Paul's advice in Galatians 5:12 to, in its full meaning, go all the way and remove his maleness.
Come on, men. Don't be ashamed to be real men. There is a lack of us in the church.
I felt a warmth around my heart as I read Dave Havir's recount of that historical Passover in 1995 ["Two Conferences Planted Seeds of Hope," April 30]. That wonderful occasion was the most special Passover in my life, when I felt for the first time the words of Jesus Christ in John 15-17 coming alive to me and being an active part of my life.
I still vividly remember some of those details, the warehouse and the atmosphere and some people who were there. That was the most important life test that I ever had to pass, the test that nobody taught me at Ambassador.
In fact, many of those who taught me were on the side against the pure truth of God at that time. What a tragic time! Yet we are told that a disciple cannot be greater than his teacher!
Yes, I still remember Passover 1995 with much fondness and cherish a dear memory of that event. I often hoped that the spirit of that night would carry over into my entire life.
Since Dave Havir on May 31 launched a broadside against hierarchical church government ("The Class System's Roots Run Deep," page 3), some brief reply is necessary by someone who cares to defend the so-called class system Mr. Havir decries.
Since the political model the New Testament upholds is altruistic paternalism, not egalitarian democracy, all attempts to defend congregationalism are inevitably unscriptural.
Under the model of self-sacrificing paternalism, the leaders are to manage those underneath for the latter's benefit, not their own. True, it's easy to be cynical about paternalism and say those in charge will be abusive, selfish, etc., but the New Testament uses this model for family relationships.
For example, the husband has authority over his wife, but in return he is supposed to have agape (self-sacrificing) love for his wife (Colossians 3:18-19).
A similar unequal relationship is supposed to exist between parents and children in which parents sacrifice and provide for their children but their children obey them in return (verses 20-21).
Many will object that, because various elders or pastors have been abusive in the past in the WCG, therefore the whole hierarchical, or "class," system has to be scrapped to prevent future abuses.
But there have also been many abusive and neglectful parents and husbands. Does that mean the hierarchical structure of family relationships that God has commanded should be similarly discarded?
The concept of "servant leadership" is admirably suited to teaching pastors and elders to be self-sacrificing shepherds but doesn't fit congregationalism so well when the pastor has to conform to the wishes of most of his congregation or be removed from his position.
His leadership role is inevitably stunted should anything especially controversial but ultimately good ("tough love") need to be done (such as giving strong, corrective sermons).
Although Mr. Havir objects to "coercive hierarchy," any congregationalist government has similar coercive power since a majority vote binds all in such a group. Any who can't live with the results have to leave.
Since Scripture has no case of a group of lay members voting to remove or discipline an elder or pastor, but leaves that to other elders (1 Timothy 5:19-20), the practice is inherently unscriptural. Although Acts 14:23 is often cited as an example of lay members voting to ordain elders, in fact the "they" who "appointed elders for them" was Paul and Barnabas. An election by two individuals is hardly an election.
Although full proof of this has to be left to my essay "Is an Ordained Ministry a New Testament Doctrine?" (www.provide.net/~kmiller1/npath.html), there are texts that authorize a spiritual division of labor under which elders rule the laity since they have the ability to teach more, thanks to professional specialization and God's spiritual gifts to them (Romans 10:14-15; Acts 8:30-31, 34-35; Ephesians 4:11-16).
Only by dubious manipulations of the Greek can Hebrews 13:17 be evaded: "Obey your leaders, and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls, as those who will give an account."
The Baur-Arndt-Gingrich Greek-English Lexicon plainly indicates that the NASB has correctly translated the most controversial word in this verse: "Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching."
Hebrews 13:24 even authorizes a "class system" since it distinguishes the laity and leaders: "Greet all of your leaders and all of the saints."
After all, as Paul notes about spiritual gifts, not all have the same function in the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:28-30).
Note that Paul's reasoning against women being made ministers is because spiritual teachers intrinsically have authority over others in the faith (1 Timothy 2:11-12): "Let a woman quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet."
Don't these texts alone show a "class system" (that is, a distinction in position) exists within the church?
Although Mr. Havir cites 1 Samuel 8:6-22 as a point to show God will accept and work through a less-than-perfect form of government among men that they want, it's actually much better used against congregationalism. How so?
Notice that the Israelites wanted to be like the other nations in having a king to lead them (verses 19-2). What is congregationalism other than the church adopting the form of human government that's the most popular and respectable in the world around us, especially in this country, which waged two world wars to further the cause of democracy?
The fundamental error of the congregationalists and independents is to read the world's reigning political philosophy into Scripture.
Scripture has far more to say about obedience, self-sacrifice and ruling than it does about voting, doing one's own thing or individual rights. For proof analyze the texts concerning citizens obeying their government (Romans 13:1-7; Titus 3:1; 1 Peter 2:13-15), slaves obeying their masters (Ephesians 6:5-6; Colossians 3:22-23; 1 Peter 2:18-19), wives obeying their husbands (Ephesians 5:22-24; 1 Peter 3:1, 5-6) or children obeying their parents (Ephesians 6:1).
If there's hierarchy and ruling in the world tomorrow, why should we assume it's any different today? (Luke 19:11-27; Matthew 25:14-30; Revelation 5:10; 2:26-27).
Texts such as Matthew 20:25-28 and 2 Corinthians 1:24 merely condemn or deny an abusive use of authority, or otherwise they would contradict other Scriptures, since human governments (Romans 13:1-7 again) and pastors (1 Corinthians 5:3-5, 12-13) certainly have the God-given authority to command others to do things they don't want to do.
Only by the worst kind of manipulation of the meaning of the Greek can congregationalism be read into Scripture.
Mr. Havir is quite right to point out many of Mr. Armstrong's errors on church government, such as one-man rule and equating the church as a single corporate organization within the spiritual organism. Nevertheless, I submit (a fine word choice here) that much of the basis of Mr. Havir's article on government has far more to do with the spirit of 1776 and 1789, or even Das Kapital, than it has anything to do with what Scripture teaches about church government.
As a new subscriber, I want to say thank you for the informative and various views that your publication presents. Of particular interest to me is the doctrinal issue of servant leadership, which has been so great problem for the WCG churches. Praises to our great God for the independent churches that have formed to escape the abusive, coercive, elitist hierarchy of the old WCG and her major daughters.
I truly believe these new churches are paving the way for the return of our true servant leader, Jesus. Hallelujah! Way to go, children of God.
I enjoyed both of the May 31 articles on Dr. Robert Kuhn ("Former AC Faculty Member Launches Public-Television Series" and "Here's How Robert Kuhn Is Bringing America Close to Truth"). The accomplishments of Dr. Kuhn and his colleague Brian Knowles reminded me of Proverbs 24:5: "A wise man has great power, and a man of knowledge increases strength." Thank you both for your example.

here is a view of the machine once assembled and the heat bed on it.
Note the ' »Front » and the ' »Back » side of the machine.
If you haven't done it yet, here the part of the procedure that will help you assemble the motor on your heat bed.
The M3x8 screws will help you to hold the motor in place.
Note the slots that will help you to adjust the position of the motor.
The best is to align the motor with the bottom of the plastic part. The goal here is that the stepper motor will touch the aluminium chassis once this part is installed on the chassis.
Note the location of the motor wire connector on the left!
Prepare the coupler on the motor shaft.
Keep it free for now.
Approach the block to the back of the printer ad align the motor shaft with the smooth rod shaft of the bed.
Secure the block using the M6x12mm screw and move the coupler so that it's in the middle of both motor and bed shafts.
You can then tighten the coupler.
On this machine architecture the wiring is to be prepared during the early stage of the assembly.
In green you have the Y Axis end stop wire path.
In blue the one for the Y Axis motor.
The motor connector is placed here toward the top of the picture in order to maximise the length of the wire.
Wires then goes inside the Z Axis extrusion profile grooves.
The wire path is indicated here by the 2 arrows and the blue line.
Note the location of the motor connector here.
This block in to be inserted at the back of the chassis, at the base of the Z axis extrusion profile.
Place it high enough so that you can insert the motor wires between the motor and the extrusion profile.
Once in place you can move the block all the way down.
The base of the motor must lay flat on the extrusion profiles.
once in place you should have something similar.
The next step is to screw the blocs in place.
Start with a Tnut and insert it inside the extrusion groove from the top.
Then use a M6x12mm screw to hold everything together.
The base of the motor must lay flat on the extrusion profile. Otherwise you might have some Z wobble.


Fresh frozen royal jelly in 16 oz. (1 lb.) bag.
Please see shipping requirement below!
You will have to select either UPS ground or UPS 2 day air as your shipment choice when you are checking out depending where you live - scroll down page to see shipping info.
Please note that we ship royal jelly out on Mondays and Tuesdays just in case there is any type of delay so it does not sit over the weekend on some UPS truck.
Fresh frozen royal jelly in a 16 oz. bag - 1 pound. Please note shipping below so your order is not delayed!
The royal jelly with be shipped within a cooler. When you receive your royal jelly place it in your refrigerator or freezer. Royal jelly will be good for 1 year in the refrigerator or 2 years in the freezer. If you get a large amount of royal jelly, we suggest placing a smaller amount in the refrigerator and the rest in the freezer.
Royal Jelly Shipping: Royal Jelly needs to be shipped so it's delivered within 2 days of us shipping it. We ship royal jelly frozen with an ice pack and in a cooler so there is no chance that in 48 hrs it can spoil. There is simply not enough time between when it left here frozen, having to thaw and arrive for any spoilage to occur. We do not expect the royal jelly to be frozen when it arrives to you.
Extended times at room temperature or higher does slowly decrease the beneficial properties of royal jelly, but certainly nothing noticeable in 48 hrs. Royal jelly is fed to the queen and larvae at about 93 F, and may remain there for over 24 hours before being consumed. Royal Jelly by it's very nature is very tart tasting.
I hope this gives me some energy and helps me to feel good enough to take my dogs for walks and to ride my horse. My breakfast consists of a piece of toast, covered with coconut oil, cinnamon, raw honey and royal jelly. I have severe health problems. I am not expecting miracles...just hoping for a bit of energy.
Great product. Fast shipping. I will be ordering this again.
Fresh Royal Jelly from eBee has been a real game changer for me. I am healing from Late Stage Lyme, and this RJ has helped me in multiple ways. If I spell 'em out, the FDA may jump on my head for making claims, so just take my word for it. I am healing, and a huge part of that is the Royal Jelly from eBeehoney. Yes, yes, yes. The shipping is high. It is worth it. Every order has arrived packed in its own little cooler with an ice pack to keep it cool, fresh, and potent. eBeehoney pays a lot of attention to detail, and it shows. Why? Because they are protecting the potency of this very powerful substance. Don't think you will get the same benefit buying Royal jelly in capsules off the shelf. This stuff is the real deal and worth every single cent! Thank you, Glenn and Becky!
eBeeHoney Response: Jose, please note the royal jelly will not lose any properties per se in such a short amount of time. It leaves here frozen with an ice pack and we always ship royal jelly orders out late in the day as well. If you think about a beehive - they are 95 degrees year round. We are not worried about the properties of royal jelly since none will be lost as you mentioned above within 48 hours of the shipment time even if the royal jelly is not frozen when it arrives. We worry more about spoilage and that is why we state 2 days as the shipment requirement. We have some customers who never even refrigerate their royal jelly but we do not recommend this at all. We also have quite a few customers who stock up on the royal jelly during the winter months when it is 90-100 degrees outside. Take care.
Great prouduct, lots of benfites .
Great product, arrived cold after sitting in the UPS truck from 5AM (out for delivery time) until 6PM (delivery time) on an 80 degree sunny day. Will order again and purchase the 2 pound package.
I ordered Royal Jelly 1 pound Monday morning. In Friday morning, the UPS 2 day Tracking said it left for a delivery before 6AM but it was delivered after 5pm when the building was closed and I gave up on getting the Royal Jelly. The package was left in the UPS truck the whole day in a summer day, which meant a very warm royal jelly. I felt it was no good and I did not want to risk it so I threw it away.
Shipping was fast but still arrived with ice pack melted and warm, Royal Jelly was very warm. It is summer here in the South so maybe we should have ordered in the fall. We froze it as soon as it arrived so maybe everything is still ok! No fault of the seller, just summer!
l received the package with ice pack already melted. The Royal Jelly color was yellow not off white or semi-yellow. So, l don't know if the jelly lost it's power? l did take it in the morning on empty stomach like 1/2 tsp. and l felt that l have a little more energy. It did not cure or improved my condition.
Customer service is superb. Minutes after completing my order, I received an email from Becky confirming my order and shipment. I ordered on Wednesday and got my royal jelly Friday. The royal jelly comes well packaged with an ice pack. I am happy so far with the product. Thank you!
I ordered this 1lb size royal jelly to try and help with my overall health and energy. When I opened the package 1lb seemed like much less than I expected, but 1lb is 1lb (refer to the question, what weighs more 1lb of feathers or 1lb of rocks?)! I have been taking 1tsp every morning with raw goldenrod honey, and I can say that I do seem to be more alert and have more energy. I will be ordering more when I get low on this, only I will be ordering a larger amount so I can keep it on hand.
still frozen when it was delivered. Looks good.
Royal jelly is a great product. Very satisfied with the purchase. Definitely going to recommend this product to others and will order more.
Royal Jelly is really awesome product. I definitely will buy more.
I have been using the eBeeHoney for the past two weeks. I'm waiting for results, but I feel the difference already in terms of my energy! I been recommending it to my friends. Definitely a returning customer. Thank you!
Everything is great, good quality product and good services, I will be back to phurchase next time.
I've been purchasing my Royal Jelly from eBeehoney for almost 3 years. Never disappointed! My husband even takes it! Definitely a superfood I cannot go without!
If your looking for a great way to optimize your health you found a great product in ebee royal honey. I've been taking ebee Royal honey for over 2 months now and I feel great, I play hockey and usually the next day suffer from some joint irritation or stiffness, Royal jelly has helped ( along with clean living) to eliviate these symptoms. Don't be mislead about the other Royal jelly products out there, ebee has the purest form out there. Thank you ebee.
My husband has some serious health issues due to an infection on his spine after a routine surgery. He is left with weakness and severe pain and fatigue. We researched Royal Jelly and also found that not all Royal Jelly is the same. EBeeHoney has helped my husband with his fatigue and just making him feel generally better! Great customer service and shipping of the product is done so that you receive your item fresh and as described! We're very happy with EBeeHoney and the quality of their Royal Jelly.
They take great care to insure that this product is shipped fresh and fast. Great customer service and communication and the product is fresh (and potent!).
great product, the shipping came on time in a solid form container with ice gel pack. Royal Jelly did not taste as bad as I remember, it is actutually sweet in you sweet first, then the sour milk taste keep in with a little kick at the end. I will recommend to my friends and families.
I read that Royal Jelly was a known testosterone booster so I have given it a try and I have noticed an immediate difference.
I can tell you. It works! I bought 2 small bottles of fresh organic royal jelly in France and I wanted to get more in USA but I did not find it. I recently searched online and i found your website. I had dark spots on my face and after 3 weeks of daily use in the morning, they disappeared. Thank you for your product. I recommended my friends to ebeehoney and they already ordered your stuffs.
This is excellent product and price works for my queen rearing operation.
I ordered one pound fresh royal jelly. It arrived within 2 days and packed with icy bags. Delivery fast and arrived well. I took it for one week already and; the quality is really good. I will continue buy from this store and recommend it to my friends.
Ordered for the first time. Packing is good but it's not cool anymore when I opened. I don't like the taste but as long as it good for health so why not. Only a tea spoon every morning.
Very happy with the high quality royal jelly. Also, recommend taking it with honey as it is potent. I will definitely buy from eBee again!
I got my order as promised, very well packed. The Royal Jelly is fresh and I am very happy with my order. It's the first time I'm taking and I hope it helps to nourish my nervous and immune system. After my first 10 days of taking Royal Jelly I can say that my skin is wonderful as never been before.
Ordered Royal Jelly for the first time. Arrived safe cold and happy in a little cooler. As instructed, put some in freezer and keep small jar in the fridge. I started to take Royal Jelly every morning, 1/4 of a tsp under tongue. I hope it will help my overall health. Taste is awkward, but no problem to taking it if you treat it as a medicine, not as honey. The price at Ebeehoney is the best I found for this product.
Dear eBeeHoney, I got my order as promised and the Royal Jelly tastes really good. It is fresh and I am very happy with my order. I am waiting to see the result from taking it daily and will refer to friends.
It's really pure and good quality, love it and has been a loyal customer. Only issue is how to keep the bag cool for 3 days delivery process. When the bag arrived it's not that cool anymore, but I really like the product and service I received.
Packing is good. My order got here safe and sound. excellent email communications, fast, friendly and customer oriented. The royal jelly is great. Tastes just like what I remember how it should be. Will order again.
It does not get any better than this, folks! I eat a teaspoon a day to nourish the brain and nervous system.
Very good. They delivered the jelly in very good shape and fast ship. We've been taking it since the past winter. As far as I searched the internet, so far, this is the best website to buy royal jelly.
The Ebeehoney royal jelly is so far the best of its kind I have taken. I've been using royal jelly from other brand for about 2 years, and I can confidently say that Ebeehoney royal jelly is much better; the aroma, taste and color.
Hi, I always buy royal jelly from EbeeHoney.com and very happy with the purchases.

Introduction to the EBRD's Trade Facilitation Programme
The EBRD's Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) was developed to promote and facilitate international trade to, from and within economies where the EBRD invests. Under the TFP, guarantees are provided to international commercial banks (confirming banks), thereby covering the political and commercial payment risk of transactions undertaken by issuing banks. Since the TFP programme was initiated in 1999 the EBRD has financed more than 24,000 transactions for a total of more than €19 billion.
By Marco Nindl
Published On Wednesday September 18, 2019
Last modified Monday February 1, 2021
At present, there are more than 100 issuing banks in 30 countries participating in the TFP, working with over 800 confirming banks and their subsidiaries throughout the world. Issuing banks in the region participate in the TFP with total limits in excess of €1.5 billion. These instruments issued or guaranteed by participating banks may be secured by guarantees issued under the programme: documentary letters of credit (LCs), trade-related standby LCs, deferred payment LCs, LCs with post-financing, advance payment bonds, payment guarantees, bid and performance bonds, trade-related promissory notes or bills of exchange. The EBRD also extends short-term loans to select banks and factoring companies in its the economies where it invests to fund trade-related advances to local companies for pre-shipment finance, post-shipment finance and other financing for foreign trade contracts and domestic and international factoring.
Achievements in 2018
In 2018, the EBRD's TFP supported 1,740 trade finance transactions with a record volume of US$ 2.2 billion, compared with 1,359 transactions totalling US$1.9 billion in 2017. This increase was mostly due to a sustained demand for TFP support in the southern and eastern Mediterranean (SEMED) region. In most other regions, notably eastern Europe and the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Western Balkans, local banks reported less demand for trade finance, due to slow economic growth, lack of investment for imported machinery and equipment and the devaluation of local currencies.
Market constraints
The economies in many EBRD countries of operations did not improve in 2018. Subdued economic activity will continue affecting international and domestic trade in these economies in 2019 and beyond. In some countries, economic challenges are combined with a lack of foreign direct investment and long-term funding. At the same time, foreign commercial banks are often reluctant to establish trade finance facilities for smaller and regional TFP partner banks, due to the high capital requirements and the cost of compliance.
Issuing and confirming banks in regions with high country risk claim access to unsecured guarantee lines with long tenors remains limited. In Ukraine, for example, most foreign commercial banks are still unwilling to do any unsecured trade finance activity. The most active confirming banks have reduced their country limits and tenor lengths. EBRD's TFP facilities support trade flows and encourage confirming banks to maintain relationships with selected partner banks until their commercial trade finance limits are reinstated to suitable levels. TFP carries out regular pricing reviews to reflect country risk issues, market pricing conditions and partner bank needs, including the competitive landscape in a country.
The TFP recorded no defaults in 2018. However, risk-sharing opportunities are continually explored to increase the additionality of the TFP. Through partnerships with commercial banks, private insurance underwriters, investment funds, governments, export credit and development agencies, EBRD can offer tenors and limits not otherwise available.
Development impact
The primary objective of the TFP is to make sure partner banks have trade finance credit lines in place so they can offer trade finance to their clients, regardless of the short-term considerations of commercial banks and their risk appetite. A recent EBRD survey showed 73 per cent of partner banks say they need continuous TFP support for trade finance transactions that foreign commercial banks are unable or unwilling to finance. The survey also found 46 per cent of partner banks (all small and medium-sized banks) need the programme to support most or all of their trade finance transactions.
Promoting sustainable trade finance means improving know-how in partner banks and in the regions. For new partner banks, the TFP provides technical assistance to raise skill levels, tailored to each partner bank. Once basic skills are mastered, training helps staff to work with more advanced products and sustain this level of skill over time. Of the partner banks in the survey, 87 per cent asked for courses to keep up to date with industry developments.
In May 2010, the TFP launched a trade finance e-learning programme in cooperation with the ICC and Coastline Solutions to help issuing banks under the TFP achieve the best international practice in trade finance. So far, more than 5,400 specialists from over 340 organisations in 48 economies across eastern Europe, Central Asia and the SEMED region have taken part. In 2018, the programme registered more than 800 new students from 27 countries worldwide. The EBRD's Trade Facilitation Programme also joined forces with the International Compliance Association (ICA) to offer new training consisting of two internationally recognised qualifications in financial crime compliance to the EBRD partner banks.
The EBRD is a multilateral bank that promotes the development of the private sector and entrepreneurial initiative in 38 economies across three continents. The Bank is owned by 69 countries as well as the EU and the EIB. EBRD investments are aimed at making the economies in its regions competitive, inclusive, well-governed, green, resilient and integrated.

The World Health Organization declared Turkey among the risky countries for the Zika virus.
İnternal diseases admin • July 6, 2022 • 0 Comment
According to Reuters' news, WHO announced that Aedes mosquitoes can spread the virus in 18 countries if precautions are not taken.
These 18 countries are ranked as follows, from highest risk to lowest:
France, Italy, Malta, Croatia, Israel, Spain, Monaco, San Marino, Turkey, Greece, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia, Georgia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
As can be seen, Turkey seems to be the 4th country at risk among the big countries.
Zika Might Be the Worst Human Exposure to Virus
Research has revealed that Zika virus-related dengue virus antibodies attack the immune system and increase the reproductive ability of Zika virus.
Confronting the rapidly advancing diseases across Latin America may leave people even more vulnerable to the Zika virus. According to the studies of two independent laboratories, aedes aegypti Zika, which is transmitted by type mosquitoes, and its relative dengue fever virus work together. Antibodies produced by the body against the dengue virus then attack the immune system that responds to Zika when Zika is infected, increasing the virus's ability to reproduce. This may help explain why the complications of infection by the Zika virus are more severe in South and Central America than in places with previous outbreaks.
In parts of Brazil, up to 90 percent of people carry antibodies to dengue. The four types of dengue virus have an unusual relationship with the immune system. Antibodies that develop after one type of infection do not protect against another type of infection. Instead, the antibodies actually help the second virus, which easily replicates itself by attacking certain immune system cells, making the infection worse.
This phenomenon is called antibody-induced enhancement (ADE), and it also explains the tendency for cases to be more severe when patients develop type II dengue—including the very dangerous condition called dengue hemorrhagic fever.
Scientists suspected that the Zika virus, which was so close to dengue that it clouded the results of diagnostic tests looking for antibodies, could also cause ADE. This is also why Zika causes symptoms that are exponentially more severe, including birth defects in babies suddenly infected in the womb in Brazil and elsewhere, and a temporary paralysis called Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
INDEPENDENT STUDIES VERIFY THE THEORY
The first support for this theory was in April. bioRxiv It came from an article published in . Sharon Isern and Scott Michael of Gulf Coast University and colleagues have found that in their study of both lab-made dengue antibodies and blood serum from dengue patients, the Zika virus dramatically increased self-replication in cells in the lab.
Nature Immunology In the article published in , an independent research group from Imperial College London reported the results of their study in which they examined several different dengue virus antibodies that react with Zika. But the antibodies could not inactivate Zika. In contrast, when cultures of Zika-infected cells were added to blood plasma from patients who had recovered from dengue virus, the amount of virus in the cultures increased 100-fold.
Public health expert Ernesto Marques of the University of Pennsylvania Pittsburgh said these data are convincing, but clinical and epidemiological studies are needed to confirm that the effect plays a role in patients. There have been cases of congenital Zika syndrome in infants and mothers who do not have antidang antibodies. Marques added that while antidengue antibodies thus increase the mother's risk of transmitting the virus to her fetus, antibodies are not the main cause of birth defects.
Nature Immunology Gavin Screaton, author of the article in . and also an immunologist at Imperial College London, emphasized that studies investigating dengue antibodies in Zika patients have been complicated by similar viruses. "We need a lot more blood tests to more easily tell if the patient has antibodies to Zika, dengue, or both viruses," Screaton said.
Even if the findings are confirmed, there isn't much people infected with the dengue virus can do to protect themselves against Zika, other than, previously, reducing the risk of mosquito bites by using repulsives. There is a serious need for everyone in countries where Zika is already prevalent to take precautions against mosquitoes.
Zika virus laboratory test has started to be performed in certain centers in Turkey as ELISA and PCR methods.

"Smart payoff: How to capture information more intelligently"
The furious pace of technological advancement has allowed organizations to implement creative solutions for reducing their dependency on static and unstructured information. Even signing on the dotted line is easier, as online and mobile technology have made digital signatures and customer acceptance of companies' terms and conditions more prevalent in recent years.
But what about companies that are highly regulated and require compliance? It is essential for these companies to rely on non-digital information for many of their core business functions. For this reason, mortgage, financial services, and insurance companies are some of the biggest contributors to the document landfill.
Companies in these industries are constantly corresponding with other businesses and have made investments in both time and automation to optimize the communication. While this has improved the process for highly structured communications, when it comes to documents, it is a free-for-all with limited standards, consistency or control.
Radian Guaranty, a private mortgage insurer, has been working to tackle these challenges. The Philadelphia, PA-based company deals directly with thousands of lenders, community banks, credit unions, and servicers across the U.S., each with its own unique way of processing documents. Like many organizations, Radian has sought to optimize document handling by use of a central repository to enable sharing, and through the use of technology-enabled Business Process Management (BPM) and workflow capabilities to track and facilitate the documents as they move through the back-office business functions. This approach relies heavily on indexing and assembling documents into a pre-defined list of types that are used to complement the workflow and business process.
Radian needed to think about the problem differently. It can take several hours to prep files and index the documents before they are sent to a specialist for review. So where are the opportunities? In today's world the same files are sent over and over again due to the lack of certainty around what information was sent by the customer, misclassification and/or documents lost as a result of being indexed into a broad group of document types, and repeated requests back to the customer from separate business processes each with their own set of guidelines. Think about how many times the same documents go through the process of underwriting. Getting acceptance on a loan or paying a claim should not take days, weeks, even months to process. How much does your company know about its customers? When key information is buried in documents the answer, in many cases, is very little.
Radian is looking to change the norm of the industry by solving the complexities around working with documents. The organization has embraced this change as a core competency in its portfolio because unlocking its potential will change the landscape for how business is conducted. Embedding intelligent capture recognition not only provides new prospects for how information will be collected, it drives greater efficiencies in productivity by reducing turn times, rework, and promotes downstream process improvements in sales and customer service. Unlocking information only found in static documents opens the door for prescriptive analytics and new services.
According to Mr. Isaack, in its first year of adoption Radian's Loss Management business cut it document processing turn times in half and improved document classification quality by more than 200 percent. The future is a bright one for Radian in its effort to lessen its dependency on unstructured information and bring order to information in ways that will no longer be a burden on processing time and service. Radian's ability to extract insightful information from the process will be a key driver in growing its business.

Q: iOS MapView shows entire United States I'm trying to load a region in a MapView, but I always get a view of the entire U.S. This is an iPad app that runs in landscape mode. I'm thinking that the spans may not be the proper dimensions, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Here's the data I have. Any ideas?
Thanks...

A: I've solved similar problem by adding CLLocationManager:
    self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    self.locationManager.delegate = self;
    // Check for iOS 8. Without this guard, the code will crash with "unknown selector" on iOS 7.
    if ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:@selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)]) {
        [self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
    }
    [self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

A: It appears you are attempting to show a user's location. The span data appears to be correct with respect to the region that you are attempting to display.
In this case, location services will need to be authorized by the user prior to MapKit being able to display the location.
When the location services are not authorized, the map of the United States will show instead of the region that you attempting to display.
Assuming you have a CLLocationManager you will need to authorize location services using requestWhenInUseAuthorization or requestAlwaysAuthorization.
If you have
self.locationManager = [CLLocationManager alloc] init];

then you will need to call
[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];

or
[self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];

These both require that a key of NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription is added to your app's Info.plist file.

Note: When we left Jeff Merritt, he was basking in the glow of his 16thstraight victory, having just blasted out Ron Stander on a show in Cleveland promoted by Don King.
After a short rest Merritt was scheduled to face Henry Clark in a rematch of their August 1969 fight. Don King had negotiated a career high purse for Merritt of $10,000 but it would prove a monumental blunder of matchmaking. The Clark fight was scheduled for March 1974. Also scheduled for March 1974 was heavyweight champion George Foreman's anticipated title defense against Ken Norton. Clark had been acting as Foreman's chief sparring partner. In Foreman, Clark couldn't have found better preparation for Merritt. Like Merritt, Foreman was a tall power puncher who often walked in with his hands low, winging punches. Unlike Merritt, Foreman was incredibly strong and much more durable. Clark made much of the fact that he had been a short notice replacement in his first fight with Merritt and that now, in the best shape of his life, he was prepared to get revenge.
Merritt was unfazed by Clark's tough talk. "He'd have to run up every hill in Oakland and chop down every tree in California and he still won't beat me." Merritt likewise had the best preparation for Clark. Clark had always been compared to a poor man's Muhammad Ali and to prepare for Clark Merritt traveled to Muhammad Ali's Deer Lake training camp to spar with the genuine article. If Merritt could beat Clark he was expected to have a place of honor on the undercard of Foreman-Norton against either Oscar Bonavena or Jose Luis Garcia but there were hints that he was taking the fight less than seriously.
The extent that Merritt abused himself prior to Clark is hard to determine. In interviews just prior to the fight he looks healthy, strong, confident, and formidable. Whatever the case, he ran into a buzz saw against Clark. True to his prefight boasting Clark was as prepared for Merritt as he was for any fighter he ever fought. Less than twenty seconds after the bell opened the fight he came over Merritt's low guard with a left hook that sent Merritt reeling back into his own corner. Clark followed and showered him with punches dropping Candy Slim. Merritt struggled to his feet, dazed and confused, looking awkwardly over his right shoulder at nobody in particular. As Clark moved in Merritt lazily circled but was buzzed with a quick, grazing hook and then sent flying backwards by a pinpoint right hand fired right down the middle and landing squarely on the point of the chin. Merritt landed flat on his back and immediately the contest was waved off. He struggled to his feet and staggered around as he was pointed back to his corner. When he was finally capable of grasping what had happened he looked around in stunned disbelief. For all intents and purposes Merritt's career was over with this defeat.
In the past six months Merritt had finally cracked the lowest rung of the top ten rankings and in the blink of an eye it was over. It was a stunning blow for Don King as well. Three months earlier his other marquee heavyweight, Earnie Shavers, had similarly been blasted out of contention via a first round knockout courtesy of Jerry Quarry. Undaunted, King was already barreling forward with plans to stage a monumental promotion in the unlikely setting of Zaire between champion George Foreman and Muhammad Ali. While King focused on his "Rumble in the Jungle" he had little time for anything else. As Jeff stewed about the loss to Clark and grew frustrated by King's lack of attention he fell back into his old habits and one again found himself at odds with the law.
Two weeks before Ali defeated George Foreman in their historic Zaire showdown Merritt was arrested and charged with several crimes. In October Merritt returned to his native Kansas City to visit his family. While riding in a car he was pulled over and taken into custody for questioning. Earlier a group of men had knocked down the door of a home and held a couple at gunpoint while they stole a television, a gun, a watch, and $13. Jeff denied he had been involved but the car he was found in was identified as the getaway vehicle and the gun used in the robbery was found in the car. Merritt, hard to miss at six foot five inches, was picked out of a lineup by the victims.
While in custody Merritt was implicated in the robbery of a craps game that took place on October 16. It was alleged that Merritt had beaten and robbed Otis Myrick and Raymond Medellin of cash and valuables totaling nearly $600. Initially Jeff tried to deny involvement in the armed robbery or that he had taken any money from Myrick or Medellin yet under questioning he admitted his involvement and on the advice of his attorney pleaded guilty to both crimes in the hope of leniency and a shorter sentence. On February 19, 1975 he was sentenced to two terms of five years in the Missouri State Penitentiary to be served concurrently with the seven year sentence he had recently been given for the armed robbery. Jeff Merritt's life had now come full circle.
Much has been written about Don King's treatment of Merritt but it's hard to figure how much more King could have done for Merritt or his career. When he initially took over Merritt's contract Jeff was a junkie, recently released from jail, and considered such a problem that no other manager wanted anything to do with him. King took Merritt on and turned his career around. In a matter of months he got Merritt his two biggest fights, a top ten ranking, and the best publicity of his career. A manager can only do so much. A fighter has to train and win. Merritt squandered his position by getting knocked out by the light hitting Clark, hanging out with the wrong people, and ultimately winding up back in prison.
When Merritt was paroled just over a year and half after re-entering prison he was ready to get back into the mix. Once again Don King was there. He immediately got Merritt a nationally televised fight on the undercard of George Foreman's showdown against Scott LeDoux. Merritt would be facing Sacramento prospect Stan Ward. It seemed like King had pitched Merritt a softball. Ward had just five wins to his name and it was hoped that if Merritt could score one of his vintage knockouts he would be matched with Foreman for a career high payday. It was a remarkable opportunity for a fighter who hadn't fought in two and a half years coming off a devastating one round knockout loss and recently released from prison. There would have been a long line of fighters begging for just such a showcase but King gave the opportunity to Merritt. It's hard to reconcile that with the idea that King somehow mismanaged Merritt.
As stated above, a manager can only do so much for his fighter. A fighter has to win to keep the paydays coming. Merritt looked to be well on his way to winning in the first round when he shut Ward's right eye with a series of left hooks and seemed to be having things his own way. But Ward proceeded to hang tough and in the third round clipped Merritt with a right hand that dropped him. After Merritt was dropped again the fight was halted to save Merritt from serious injury. It was Candy Slim's last chance to carve out a place in boxing history and thereafter he would fade into obscurity.
The following spring Merritt would be picked up on a parole violation. He had slipped back into heroin addiction and was now enrolled in a methadone program. Five months later he was arrested for the attempted murder of Jimmy Ward. Jeff had shot Ward five times outside of a Cleveland nightclub. He was charged with murder, pleaded self-defense and the following June was acquitted. The day after his acquittal he was once again arrested for parole violation and sent back to Missouri to serve his sentence. The next three years were a haze of drugs and multiple prison sentences stemming from parole violations. In 1982 he briefly returned to the ring long enough to knock out Memphis Al Jones. The fight was held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at a rambling nightclub that specialized in country music. The main event featured Merritt's old stable-mate Earnie Shavers, like Merritt trying to recapture past glory.
In the late seventies or early eighties Jeff's mother had moved out to California to be closer to Jeff's half brother Kenneth. About 1981 she relocated to Las Vegas where most of the family eventually joined her, Jeff included. His family hoped that the move would help Jeff but drugs continued to control his life. He robbed and stole to support his habit. It has been written that Jeff would appear at major boxing events in Las Vegas, homeless and begging for money. This is only part true. Jeff wasn't homeless, although his addiction may have given him that appearance at times, but he did go to the fights and panhandle often trying to hook up with Don King for a handout. On occasion King would find him and give him some money but usually he was just a sad reminder of the ravages of drug abuse.
Numerous arrests and convictions followed over the years. In 1998 when he was sentenced to prison for the last time he was listed as a habitual criminal. The years of hard living and drug abuse had taken their toll on his once formidable body and while in prison he suffered a stroke that resulted in partial paralysis. He was given early release and spent the remainder of his days confined to a wheel chair, living on disability, and being cared for by his sister Patricia before he passed away June 1, 2014.
Merritt's legend has only grown over the years, fueled by the early promise he exhibited and the occasional tantalizing mention he gets in passing by men like Muhammad Ali, Earnie Shavers, and Larry Holmes. Jack Newfield was largely responsible for writing the modern narrative of Jeff Merritt's career in his expose of Don King, painting Merritt as the victim of King's malevolence. Despite Merritt's relatively meager accomplishments inside the ring he has become one of boxing's greatest what-if stories. According to Shavers, Merritt "could have been champion for a thousand years if he had taken care of himself." But Jeff didn't take care of himself and rather than a what-if story he serves as a cautionary tale for young fighters. Jeff used his ability in the ring to create multiple opportunities for himself and invariably he squandered them each time, choosing instead to live in the moment and not for the future. A quick fix was more attractive than three months of training. A night on the town was easier than thirty minutes in the ring. His contemporaries Earnie Shavers and Larry Holmes have both settled into a comfortable life in their declining years while Merritt, who chose a less Spartan path, had a considerably more difficult life after boxing. In the end the man who may have had more potential than both of them remains a fascinating footnote for fans of boxing to ponder.

Opera by Giuseppe Verdi
Direction: Pierre Audi
Rigoletto, the first work of Verdi's "trilogia popolare", was a resounding success right from the start. First performed in Venice in 1851, it highlights the composer's dominant themes: a pivotal relationship between father and daughter, the inexorability of fate, love, revenge and sacrifice, as well as a close look at the suffering of a social outcast.
Rigoletto continually features in international repertoires, and has been performed around 700 times to date at the Wiener Staatsoper alone. After a break of more than 30 years – the last première of the opera was in 1983 – the opera house on the Ring is now launching a new production of Rigoletto.

The year was 1914, and the country was on edge as Europe was just months into what would become the First World War. Locally, the Pacific Northwest was experiencing a spree of bank robberies from Seattle north. So hackles were raised in Sedro-Woolley, Washington in October when suspicious characters were thought to be casing local banks. The town was ready when the hoodlums set their plans in motion on a Saturday night. After the First National Bank was robbed of over $11,000 in gold, the bandits escaped and led posses on a manhunt that extended into British Columbia. In the end, four of the five robbers were killed and just over half of the money was recovered, leaving the whereabouts unknown of nearly $5,500 in 1914 gold; roughly $375,000 at today's value.


Since 2001, Germany has been using the traffic volume in 30th hour of the traffic demand duration curve as design volume. European road traffic statistics, however, apply the traffic volume in the 50th hour. At the order of the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) an appropriate hour (nth hour) should be established and alternative processes verified. The acquired recommendations were considered in the HBS (Manual for the Design of Road Traffic Installations) 2015.
Applying the traffic demand in the nth hour was found to be a useful basis for highway design. The choice of the design hour has relatively small influence on the analysis results, particularly if the 30th and 50th hour are compared.

Neil loves to tell stories with his marketing. He is very good at it. I find all of his information valuable and interesting. I have always believed that being a good story teller is a great sales tool.
Learn how to master this technique, and you will certainly increase your sales and profit.
That's why people love to watch movies, read books, and binge-watch television shows.
You'll be able to boost your sales if you can get customers to connect with your stories.
But luckily for you, I'm very familiar with storytelling.
I'll share with you some of my storytelling secrets that you can implement in your marketing campaigns to squeeze revenue from your customers.
Here's how you can master the art of storytelling.
First, recognize to whom you're telling the story.
Make sure it's appropriate for that audience.
Let's use an analogy before we relate it to your business.
A story you might tell to your poker buddies during a card night while having a beer may not be something you'd tell your in-laws during a Thanksgiving dinner.
For the most part, I'd recommend keeping your stories suitable to all ages.
I practice what I preach. If you read my blogs, you typically won't see any vulgarity or cuss words.
If you're posting it on social media, your audience may vary depending on the platform.
Let's say you identify your target audience as baby boomers.
Based on the graph above, it wouldn't be smart to tell that story on Instagram, Snapchat, or Twitter because there isn't an active presence of your audience.
Once you figure out the target, you'll be able to use an appropriate tone to tell the story and release it on the right platforms as well.
You might be able to tell the best story in the world, but that means nothing if you don't have a goal for it.
That's the only way you're going to get customers to convert and increase your sales.
Someone may read this story and think something similar could happen to their home if they live in an area below sea level that's susceptible to a natural disaster.
While fear is definitely a powerful emotion, it's not the only way to get a response from your audience.
On their website, they include a biography about their company's founder, Blake Mycoskie.
It's a simple plan to help those less fortunate and a great business model for a for-profit organization.
Remember, we're trying to tell actionable stories.
If your story is super unique and isn't relatable to a wide audience, you'll need to find a way to tweak it.
That's something people can relate to.
Tony says he was in that position too at one point in his life, but there's a way out.
That's the actionable response he's trying to get from you by telling you a story you can relate to.
People can't relate to that lifestyle, but they can connect with financial struggles.
You'll also get more engagement with your customers through blogging.
It's not like they're giving money to some faceless and nameless brand.
I could talk all day about why your business needs to have a blog, but we'll save that conversation for another time.
Right now, it's just the most logical place for you to share your content that's a story.
Your customers don't have enough hours in the day to devote 40 minutes to your story.
If you do this, your story won't get read, which is counterproductive and a waste of your time.
Make sure you have a headline that grabs the reader's attention.
You could have an amazing story, but it's not worth anything if you can't get people to click on it.
That's why I use my YouTube channel to tell stories to my audience.
If you don't have a YouTube channel, you need to make one right away.
This way you won't have to come up with fresh topics all the time.
People aren't stupid (for the most part).
They realize that anything you tell them will have some sort of bias toward your brand: you won't publish any stories that discourage people from buying your products.
That's why you need to let customers share their stories on your website.
Feel free to take a similar approach and designate a page on your website that's strictly for user-generated content.
But if you follow the tips I've outlined above, you can master this art and begin to see the positive impact it has on your sales.
Make sure it's appropriate and relatable to the customer.

Warning hackers quick to bypass anti-virus walls in latest attacks
Warning hackers quick to bypass anti-virus walls in latest attacks Featured

Anti-virus software doesn't stop new threats or advanced malicious-email attacks.as hackers use scam emails to deliver new 'fast-break' or 'zero-day' attacks, according to security firm MailGuard.
MailGuard says endpoint anti-virus software can detect known threats and it can play a role in stopping threats that might be introduced via means other than email, like on a USB or flash drive – but zero-day malware delivered in scam emails is likely to "fly under the antivirus radar".
According to Mailguard's Emmanuel Marshall, cyber criminals move at rapid pace using the element of surprise.
"It can take hours or even days for antivirus vendors to identify new threats and deploy updates and then there's a further delay while their customers download and install those updates. During this time, while the update process is happening, unpatched computers are vulnerable to attack."
Marshall said traditional anti-virus solutions are well-known to sophisticated cyber crime networks who will test and refine their attacks to ensure that they're going to get through.
"In one email scam MailGuard intercepted, the scammers used over 160 variations of the attack to stay ahead of antivirus updates," Marshall said.
"Companies that rely on endpoint anti-virus protection alone are playing Russian roulette with their data-security. Cyber criminals know that humans are a cyber security loophole. Their objective is to get email with a malware payload into a company's inboxes, because people are much easier to trick than machines.
"If they can get one person inside a company to open a scam email and click on a link, they can infect the whole company's computer network." Marshall warns.
"Shockingly, more than 90% of Internet crime is perpetrated via email. Most people cannot recognise the tell-tale signs of a criminal email and will click on dangerous messages without thinking twice. In fact, 97% of people can't discern phishing emails from the real thing, and of those, nearly 25% will click on dangerous links," says MailGuard chief executive Craig McDonald.
"Millions of criminal-intent emails are sent every second of the day, so the odds are good that some of those emails are probably in your team's email inbox right now. I'm willing to bet that at least one person in your office has seen these messages pop up in their inbox."

Schenker settles shipper lawsuit
COLOGNE: DB Schenker AG, which earlier this week announced it was suing a group of airlines US$3 billion for price-fixing, has agreed to pay US$8.75 million to settle a similar complaint brought by a group of shippers.
The logistics subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn has been a defendant in a class action 'Precision Associates, Inc. v. Panalpina World Transport' filed in the Eastern District of New York – the same court where Schenker is now suing several airlines.
The shippers, who include Mail Boxes Etc., JCK Industries, RBX Industries, Mary Elle Fashions, Printing Technology, Inter-Global, Zeta Pharmaceuticals and Kraft Chemical Company, claim a large group of forwarders conspired, in violation of antitrust laws, to fix prices for logistics services on routes between the U.S. and China, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and the U.K between January 2001 and September 2012.
While the court has yet to adjudicate, as of September 15 this year Schenker, EGL, Expeditors, Nishi-Nippon, Vantec, United Aircargo, Kuhne + Nagel, Morrison Express, UTI Worldwide, Toll, Panalpina, Geodis, Jet Speed, DSV, SDV and ABX Logistics have agreed to pay US$178 million into a settlement fund for the benefit of shippers.
Court documents say these companies have agreed to reach an out-of-court settlement "to avoid the time, expense, and uncertainty associated with resolving this case by a jury trial". Other forwarder defendants have yet to settle.
Commenting on the move this week to recover what it claims are "hundreds of millions of dollars in the form of fuel and security surcharges" from the airlines, a spokesman for Schenker said: "As a company, we believe that discussion and engagement among partners are always the best ways to settle disputes. But sometimes these approaches simply don't work, and we have to find other ways to bring about just and reasonable solutions. We find ourselves in one of those situations today."

A senior Canberra public servant is the frontrunner for the prestigious job of Britain's House of Commons Clerk. Department of Parliamentary Services secretary Carol Mills hasalready been interviewed once for the position and it has been reported that she is the preferred candidate of Commons speaker John Bercow. Ms Mills declined to speak publicly on Tuesday about her big new job opportunity but public service sources confirmed that the Departmental Secretary was head-hunted for the role in the "mother of parliaments." The current occupant of the $364,000-a-year-job, Sir Robert Rogers, will retire next month amid claims he was told to "f**k off" by Mr Bercow, a Conservative Member of Parliament . Ms Mills - a former director general of Communities NSW and the Department of Arts, Sport and Recreation, joined DPS in mid-2012 is seen in the Australian Public Service as a safe pair of hands. Since joining DPS she has largely stemmed the flow of bad news stories and bullying allegations that had previously dogged the newly minted department. She is also one of tiny number of agency head to have secured extra funding in the Abbott Government's first budget with DPS getting $60 million over the next 4 years to "support its core operations". According to the job spec from posh London headhunters Saxton Bampfylde, the successful candidate will lead a staff of 1750 and administer a budget of $367 million. The job calls for "the ability to represent the House of Commons, at both national and international level" and "experience in policy decision-making at high levels and under pressure."

Following my post Does Britain Need Smaller Banks? Fred Fickling objected to my point that large banks are more difficult to regulate.
"Not sure that the simple answer here is really the right one. Size & corp responsibility aren't necessarily inversely related."
Of course, some large companies can have a highly refined sense of ethics and social responsibility, although this doesn't always protect them from strong disagreements with external lobbyists, as Shell discovered when it wished to decommission the Brent Spar.
In any case, not all large companies can be trusted to regulate their own behaviour in the public interest. Companies pay tax where it suits them, move (or threaten to move) operations from one country to another, shrug off massive fines, and can sometimes behave as if they were above the law, as Fred concedes. In the long term, these legacy corporations may be doomed, but in the short term they can still cause a lot of disruption in the financial ecosystem.
Of course there are no simple answers. I certainly think some companies are too large, and I hope there will always be good opportunities for smaller companies to compete. What I'm calling for is a way of reasoning intelligently about the size of companies, which balances the interests of all stakeholders in a fair and governable manner. I think this is a proper topic for business architecture. And perhaps some of what we've learned from SOA about granularity and governance can be applied to this greater problem domain.
This leads us into the question of what a "corporation" or what a "bank" is. For example, I could envisage (and did in 2001) a rapid creation of niche storefront banks all coupled to the same set of back end or core services.
That seriously affects things like asset ratios because we have to ask the question, does the storefront bank have to keep the same degree of asset ratio as the back end/service provider bank?

Double Luck: Memoirs of a Chinese Orphan by Lu Chi Fa. Lu Chi Fa, the owner of The Coffee Pot Restaurant in Morro Bay, California, looks back on a life that reflects China's tumultuous recent history, from wars and famine to Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution. Orphaned at three, Chi Fa grows up amid hardships that will be scarcely imaginable to American readers. "Chi Fa, you are lucky. Good fortune will find you," his beloved Sister tells him when, yielding to her husband, she abandons him on another sibling's doorstep. The boy is shunted among his relatives, sold to strangers and eventually rescued from them by Sister; he is beaten, starved and forced to beg. At 12, he survives a dangerous trek to freedom in Hong Kong, where an elderly man to whom he gives food fuels his dreams of emigrating to America ("In America people eat three times a day. In America they are too full to swallow sorrow"), a dream he finally realizes at 20. More at double-luck.org.
