Don’t Correct Your Baby’s Feet – Protect Them Instead
Filed Under Babies | Comments Off
Duncan Henderson asked:
Once upon a time, parents thought they should select rigid shoes with flat, hard soles in order to help correct problems with their children’s feet. The reality is that these shoes actually cause more problems than they help and, in fact, shoes should really be chosen for their ability to provide protection rather than in hope of providing correction.
Keeping Your Baby’s Feet Healthy
According to the Community Paediatrics Committee, it is actually best to keep your baby barefoot as often as possible. This way, your baby’s feet can develop muscular strength and proper toe griping. Therefore, when in warm and dry conditions, the Committee recommends going without shoes at all. When shoes are necessary in order to keep your baby’s feet protected, however, the shoes should be soft and flexible. This way, they do not impede the development of the feet and they can form a normal longitudinal arch.
Changing with Your Baby’s Foot
In healthy children, there is no need to wear hard rubber soled shoes that force your toddler’s feet to stay flat. Rather, the shoes should flex and move with your child’s feet. With soft soled shoes, the shoes actually move with your child’s feet and fit them perfectly all the time. In this way, they provide your child’s feet with the protection they need while still allowing them to develop properly.
Keeping Them on Their Feet
Additional research conducted by the University of Vermont demonstrated that toddlers wearing thick shoes with rubber soles actually stumble and fall more often than those wearing shoes with soft and flexible soles. The researchers also found that children wearing shoes with soft soles were able to walk in a more natural manner, while those wearing sneakers fell three times more often when walking on tile and five times more often when walking on carpeting. Therefore, when selecting shoes for your child, be certain to stay away from those that are thick and stiff and choose ones that are soft and flexible instead.

Bring Targeted Network Marketing Prospects Right to Your Door
Filed Under Networking | Comments Off
Phil Henderson asked:
Hello and thanks for visiting my blog. my name is phil henderson and I am from milton of campsie, east dunbartonshire. I have been in the industry for 5 years. I want to take this entry to explain something very important: the funded proposal system. This is an integral building block of The SpiderWeb Marketing System, yet few people truly understand it. For my entry, I want to take an explanation written by the founder and inventor of The SpiderWeb Marketing System, and insert it into my blog. Hopefully it will bring you increased understanding, as it has to me. It’s a little long, but stick with it, as it will explain things very well.
The SpiderWeb Marketing System is a Revolutionary new Funded Proposal MLM Prospecting system which was developed by Kimball Roundy. It is designed to help Network Marketers in their business building efforts. The System Maximizes the power and reach of the Internet to who are eager to get signed up with you, and instead of paying to generate or buy these leads, they end up PAYING YOU to become leads. In essence, instead of chasing people for your business, they start chasing and paying you to be considered as a prospect to join you. It is a pretty sweet concept and it works like a charm! IF you have the time to learn it and implement the system. What do you mean by “a Funded Proposal Prospecting System?” The basic (very simplified) idea behind a “Funded Proposal” prospecting system is this:
You use a website or system (as an “affiliate” usually with a specific affiliate referral tracking link) that is set up to generate MLM Targeted Leads by advertising “help” and or “training” that will help the person seeking the help (the LEAD) with generating leads for their primary business.
For example, you find someone searching Google or Yahoo who is looking for “MLM Leads” or “Network Marketing Leads” and show an ad to them that says essentially:
“Quit Wasting Your Time and Money on MLM Leads! Let Me Show you how to Generate your own, and get Paid by Each one of Them Whether or not They Join Your Business!”
If you were spending hundreds of dollars and hours and hours (maybe you are, if so, pay attention) buying and then contacting hundreds of leads, wouldn’t the above idea appeal to you?
So, with this system you are advertising help or training, and in exchange for a free newsletter or basic e-book they give you their contact information (LEAD). This newsletter will usually tell them “WHAT” to do but not show them “HOW” to do it. Then, through reading the free newsletters or e-books or watching the free videos etc they are introduced to some product that they can buy (usually the Full details and step by step training on HOW to do what they just told you to do) and if the person who signed up for the info decides to purchase the product then you as the affiliate who referred them will make a commission. So, essentially what will happen is you, will be looking for a way to grow your business, you will find one of these sites and sign up for the free info (You are someone else’s lead) then you decide you want to get the whole story, buy the product (book, e-book etc.) and the person who referred you makes $20 or $50 or whatever the commission amount for the bo!
ok sale is.
So, that is how a Funded Proposal is designed to work.
You sign up
Then you Set up the system by following the videos
The system manages all your Marketing for you
You get leads
You generate up to 12 streams of Passive Residual Income before/without ever talking to a single prospect or spending a DIME
AND THEN YOU GET PAID!
You contact and build a relationship with your new, unique to you, real-time Network Marketing Targeted leads
Your business grows bigger, faster than with any other system, period.
Oh, and it is 100% FREE!
With the innovative 12 streams of income that they will generate for you before any product, service book or company is sold, it is THE FIRST TRUE “FUNDED PROPOSAL” where you get paid for your marketing before the lead has ever been contacted by anyone or sold anything!
I know, I have not explained that part, you are just going to have to head over and check it out to find out exactly how it works. Check it all out at http://www.TheSpiderWebSystem.com/yourwebsense.

Is Dan Henderson the best pound for pound if he beats Rampage?

World Class Athlete asked:
Let’s see, he was the Pride 185lb champion. The Pride 205lb champion. And If (most likely) beats Rampage he’ll be the undisputed 205 champ on top of the 185 Pride champ. That’s three belts!! Now I know how we all feel about Fedor, but if Hendo wins this fight he has to be considered the best pound for pound. Your thoughts.

Five Powerful Bible Study Tips
Filed Under Spirituality | Comments Off
Hannah Henderson asked:
There are five very effective tips that anyone who desires to understand the Bible can put into practice immediately, regardless of how much or how little his knowledge of God’s word may be. The biblical passage of 1 Corinthians 2:14 that states that the things of God must be spiritually discerned has been misused to deter the average person from engaging in serious self-study of the Bible for fear that he may not be spiritual enough to understand scripture. However, when a person seriously seeks the Lord, he can be assured that it is with his spirit that he seeks as the natural part of him, which the Bible often refers to as the "flesh", is too weak to seek God. Jesus explicity said, "…the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" (King James Bible, Mat. 26:41).
The first tip is to bear in mind that the dictionary’s definition of a word does not always match the Bible’s definition of that same word. According to Webster’s pocket dictionary, the word "believe" means to accept something as true or real and to hold on to religious beliefs, but biblical scripture demonstrates that faith in God is not merely an intellectual acceptance of the veracity of something. Genuine belief in God is defined by the Bible as obedience to God. The apostle Paul wrote, "But they have not all obeyed the gospel, for Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report" (Rom.10:16)? Scripture also says, "Even so faith (belief), if it hath not works (obedient action), is dead, being alone" (James 2:17). If the dictionary’s definition of "obey" is applied to the scripure of St. John 3:16 which states that whoever believes in the Son of God has eternal life, everyone with a simple intellectual belief in God has eternal life. However, according to the Bible, this is not the case. Jesus warns in the scripture of Matthew 7:22 that many will call him Lord in the last day but he’ll respond that he never knew them. The misinterpretation of the word "obey" is only one of numerous words that are misunderstood due to the application of a modern dictionary’s definition.
The second tip consists of paying close attention to the scriptures just above and below a scripture in question as well as the context and situation taking place in a given passage. Many Christians teach that God’s commandment in the scripture of Matthew 5:48, to be perfect as he is perfect means striving to never commit sin. Although the scriptures of Romans 6:1 and 1 John 2:1 clearly admonish against committing sin, Ecclesiastes 7:20 is one of several reminders that there is no mortal man that never sins. Consequently, the application of what appears to be a logical explanation of Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:48, gives rise to a contradiction of God’s own word. In the scriptures immediately above that of Matthew 5:48, Jesus is teaching on the perfection of love. The Savior explains that his servants do not limit their love to those who love them and to their friends, but extends the love of Christ to the utmost in bearing love for their enemies as God also has demonstrated his love for his enemies (St. John 3:16, Rom. 5:10). Man’s reasoning defines perfection as total abstinence from sin, but God measures perfection based on the love of Christ that he sees in the heart of the believer who is commanded to love him first, his neighbor (Mark 12:29-30), and even his enemy (Mat. 5:44). The confirmation of this interpretation is found in the scripture of Colossians 3:14 which says, "And above all these things put on charity (love), which is the bond of perfectness."
The third tip is to wisely choose a Bible to read and study aids. If a person is truly seeking to understand God’s word, it’s advisable to read the King James version of the Bible. The New King James version of the scriptures has done so much more than simply remove pronouns such as "thee" and "thou" and replace them with "you". At the time of the translation of the authorized King James version of the Bible, the usage of personal pronouns that indicate singularity and plurality had already become obsolete (Terry Watkins). The translators took special care to use them because of their significance in understanding exactly what was taking place and to whom God or another person was speaking. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article by Ann Rodgers, a 1st-century text from the Old Testament prophet Isaiah was discovered among the scrolls of the Dead Sea. It perfectly matched the Hebrew text from the year 1006, proving the preservation of the scriptures. There is justifiably much suspicion regarding the employment of the modern versions and new translations of the Bible. Bible students may want to make use of a paraphrased Bible which does not claim to re-translate the scriptures, but rather to simply paraphrase them. This keeps the student alert to the fact that a paraphrase does not make the exact same statements as the original work, and therefore, must be regarded as possible help and not necessarily answers. Also beware of commentaries. They can be of assistance in comprehending the Bible and they can unfortunately add to confusion by rendering incorrect interpretations of biblical passages. Recommended commentaries include The Wycliffe Bible Commentaries for the Old and New Testaments, by the Moody Bible Institute. Again, not every explanation of these commentaries is correct, but they can serve as important guides on most biblical questions. Serious students of Bible study often use an amplified Bible which fills in some of the "blanks" and thereby promote greater understanding.
The fourth tip involves the Bible student’s resistance against frustration when answers escape him. Understanding of the scriptures takes time, patience, dedication, a pure desire to learn to obey God and faith in his promise to fully satisfy everyone that hungers after righteousness (Mat. 5:6). It’s helpful to notate in a notebook or on index cards, questions as well as scriptures that are confusing and review them periodically. Purchase Strong’s exhaustive concordance if finances permit and run reference on individual words in the passages that are unclear. Strive to find every scripture that relates to the question or scripture for which an explanation is sought. Often, anti-biblical doctrines are formed by failure or unwillingness to consider all scripture on a particular subject. When learning from other Christian writers, it’s important to make sure they’re supporting all statements with biblical scripture. Opinions and man’s logic must be rejected when seeking spiritual truth. It’s not enough to see scripture cited in Christian writings. The serious Bible student must imitate the Bereans who verified what they were being told was scripture was truly written in the Bible (Acts 17:11). The student should not linger on confusing scriptures, but rather should continue his studies. The Bible is literally a commentary on itself and perplexity over a particular passage or question often becomes clear in the reading of other passages that may seem completely unrelated to the one that is confusing. Remember that the Bible is one long account of the gospel of Jesus who is shadowed in the Old Testament and revealed in the New. Although the prophets of the Old Testament and the apostles of the New, lived in different time periods, lands, and situations, they all preached the same message. Genesis opens with man in paradise with full access to the tree of life, and Revelation ends with the return of redeemed man to paradise with full access to the tree of life restored, in accordance with God’s perfect will. Not everyone is able to dedicate much time everyday to the study of the Bible due to daily obligations. Fifteen minutes of productive Bible study with the intention to be a doer of God’s word is better than hours of study without comprehension or intention to obey Christ.
The fifth and final tip requires the prayer of faith that boldly and confidently asks God for wisdom. The very purpose of knowing God’s word should be to find and travel the road that leads to eternal life, back to paradise in the hereafter. That road can only be travelled by faith that begins with believing that God will put and keep one’s feet on that journey. The Bible says, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But, let him ask in faith, nothing waivering, for he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."
It is a most wonderful experience to sit and learn at the feet of the great Rabbi, Lord Jesus.

Turn Second Lien Real Estate Notes Into Gold
Filed Under Real Estate | Comments Off
Tom Henderson asked:
Not a month goes by that I do not get at least one question as to what a 2nd lien is worth. With rare exceptions, 2nd liens are not marketable to note buyers, especially if you have a small 2nd behind a large 1st. The risk just outweighs the reward. These notes are often referred to as “throw away seconds”.
Here is a powerful wealth building technique that comes from the NOTE PROFESSOR NOTEBOOK. This technique works well, no matter what position the note. Simply trade your 2nd lien AT FACE VALUE for real estate or personal property.
FOR EXAMPLE, there is a property that has a $100,000 ARV. Everybody is offering the property owner $50,000. You are holding a $10,000 second. Why not offer $60,000? The $50,000 cash that everybody else is offering, PLUS your $10,000 second? Put yourself in the position of the seller. Which offer would you accept? The $50,000 cash only, or the $50,000 cash PLUS your $10,000 note?
You now have turned your “unmarketable” 2nd lien note into gold. Instead of having to accept 30 cents on the dollar, you have traded an almost worthless note into equity in real estate. Be sure to disclose to the property seller that there is always a chance the note will default. Just be honest, and do not mislead the property owner.
Knowing how to buy and sell real estate using notes is paramount if you are going to be prosperous in today’s market. Those who know how to use real estate note techniques will be making deals while many will be on the sidelines wonder why you are so successful.
Knowledge is power. You are now a little more powerful.
