Are you one of these people that were born with brown hair and brown eyes, but you always wanted to have blue eyes and blond hair? Color contact lenses and a little hair dye can accomplish this quickly. Eyes that are brown have more melanin in the iris than lighter colored green or blue eyes. As we age our eyes change color a little also. A color contact lens can temporarily change your eye color and really become a fashion statement.

Eyes that are brown or any color can easily be changed with today’s technology of a color contact lens. These contacts are safe and comfortable as any other contacts might be. They can be worn as extended wear contact lenses, disposable or hard rigid lenses. There are four different types of color contacts and each one offers a slightly different benefit. The first one is just a visibility tint so if you drop a lens; you can easily find it. These lenses do not alter the color of the iris at all. The second tint is an enhancement tint. These lenses will only alter your eye color slightly and enhance your natural color of eyes. The third is the actual color tint and what you normally think of to change those brown eyes into blue or whatever you choose. There is a wide array of specialty colors on the market today. The fourth is a light filtering tint. These lenses are designed for athletes or sports fans; enhancing ball color or making the ball stand out more. When color contacts first came on the market, I think they looked a little artificial. Only rigid hard lenses were available and you could definitely see the rim around the iris. Now they are making them so that they look more natural on the eye and it is hard to tell if the person is wearing them at all.

Some would like to change the color of their eyes but they have 20/20 vision. These particular kinds of contacts are called plano and still must always be fitted by a professional. If they are not fitted by a physician, infection and permanent eye damage may occur. Always ask your doctor if color contacts could be good for you and your particular vision problems. If you are a regular contact lens wearer; it may be fun for you to change up your eye color and order some blue eyes in place of your brown ones.

Proposed changes to the Sex Discrimination Act (“SDA”) 1975 and the Equal Pay Act (“EPA”) 1970 under the amended Equal Treatment Directive (2002/73/EC) will be implemented on 1 October 2005. To ensure that your company’s policies comply with these proposed reforms please contact us at enquiries@rtcoopers.com.

The proposed changes to the law will be applicable to all employers and providers of vocational training:

As of 1 October 2005, there will be a new definition of indirect sex discrimination in employment matters and vocational training. Indirect sex discrimination will occur when an apparently neutral provision, criterion or practice that applies to all workers or applicants causes particular disadvantage to certain sections of women or men. To avoid or succeed against a complaint of indirect sex discrimination, an employer will have to justify that a provision, criterion, practice or policy that it employs, and which causes such disadvantage, meets a business aim and is an appropriate means of meeting this aim.

For the first time, there will be a cause of action under the SDA for harassment on the grounds of the complainant’s sex. The new provision will apply to the areas of employment and vocational training only.
New explicit provisions will be included to ensure that women are protected from discrimination on the grounds of pregnancy.

The geographical coverage in the SDA and EPA have been extended, so they now cover employees who work for British organisations outside Great Britain (GB) in relation to recruitment, terms and conditions, pay, promotion, transfers and dismissals.

An employer will have the right to refuse to offer a particular job to someone who was intending to undergo, was undergoing or had undergone gender reassignment. However, such a refusal must now be reasonable.
The SDA protection will be extended to cover vocational guidance and unpaid practical work experience.

The SDA will be amended to prescribe an eight-week time limit for the employer or training organisation, for example, to return the questionnaire in cases of discrimination or harassment in employment and vocational training.
The proposed changes to the law applicable to certain employers, certain providers of vocational training and those who appoint office holders:

An exception in the SDA, which permitted partnerships and trade unions to discriminate on grounds of sex in the provision of death and retirement benefits to their partners and members respectively, will be removed.
There will now be further protection against discrimination for office holders.

Ministers of religion will now be protected by the SDA, not only where they are employees, but also where they are office holders.

Garden planning is an avocation that can be carried to extremes. I have heard rumors that there are actually places that pay people to plan gardens for them. No one would be that silly. Imagine being paid to do something that is well, an obsession.

Personally I have perfected garden planning. It is considered high art when I undertake flower garden design!
I post do not disturb “genius at work” signs in preparation.
Pictures of flower garden ideas drift like colors in your mind.
Formal gardens, whimsical gardens, oriental gardens, rock gardens.All the garden types you can dream of are at your fingertips, if not actually in your yard!
Somehow the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew come to my mind as a attainable garden goal.
Better homes and gardens has a wonderful tool to help you plan layouts and colors.
better homes and gardens flower garden planner. It’s a fun way to spend a blustery afternoon.

Planning the layout and textures of gardens is very diverting.
I can spend hours making lists from the garden catalogs.
These usually arrive just in time to take my mind off of winter.
Winter is relative after all. In Florida the land of sunshine, just a few grey windy overcast days,Can precipitate severe gardening withdrawal, fits or even swoons may follow.
I think it is probably akin to those heavy snow days in the north.The kind that cause cabin fever.
Give me a cup of coca and a couple garden catalogs, and I am happy. Burpees catalog another favorite of mine is the white flower farms catalog.

I won’t even mention what awaking to a frost with a temperature of 20 degrees will do to you if you garden in Florida. Living in paradise I consol myself with knowing that in a few weeks summer will arrive.

Then I will of course be nattering about heat and sweating in the summer.

I actually plan flower gardens on paper; I draw them out, several hundred dozen times. Of course I always find a reason to change this or that, depending on catalog advice, which direction the wind is blowing and whether or not it’s a full moon. Great bargains can be found if your patient. Then I throw the flower garden layout ideas in the trash and start buying what’s on sale at the flea markets. Gardening is always good.

It strikes when you are about to call a new lead; it kicks into high gear when you are on the verge talking to someone who you know would be perfect for the business.

It holds us back from achieving our goals in a gripping way and we often end up going in circles for weeks… months… even years. And sadly for some, their entire lives.

It pulls us right back to the hole we were fighting to get out of.

It… is Resistance.

Resistance preys on those who are set out to accomplish their desires and aspirations; it pays no attention to those who wish to lead a mediocre life.

From marketing your business, making phone calls, return calls, hosting meetings, listening to conference calls, watching live broadcast, a Home Based Business Owner is one who Resistance targets the most.

We set out to earn above average wages. We set out to create a long-term residual income stream that someday, we hope we can walk away from the business and have that income continue to come in year after year.

For some, Resistance has lost the battle and they go on to attract the success they desire with their Network Marketing businesses, while others are in constant struggle. Although for some, the word struggle is the light way of putting it. Many have been fighting tooth and nail for months – even years to beat Resistance. Often, they find that the harder they try to break free from its grasp, the faster they slip back into the place they know far too well.

And today, we’re going to dig into the mind of a struggling Network Marketer that is losing the battle with Resistance – which is keeping you right where you are right now.

What is it that you desire the most? Does reaching that point scare you in any way? Fear is simply a way of showing you that you are moving in the right direction. As Steven Pressfield puts it in the book, “The War of Art”, “Rule of thumb: The more important a call or action is to our soul’s evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.” He then goes on to say, “The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death.”

While most avoid the things they fear most, it’s those who battle their way through Resistance and fear successfully are those who obtain whatever it is that they want out of life. The new Network Marketer will dive into learning about this business with enthusiasm and force.

Resistance is on the sidelines unable to make its move until self-doubt or fear arises. As the new Network Marketer begins to dive into the business and spends some time learning the products and marketing plan, he soon develops his plan. It’s at the very moment after he has some ideas and has the mere thought of beginning a new project that Resistance jumps into take control.

For those who have battled with Resistance, they know it too well. Some battles they have lost; others they have won. But for the new Network Marketer, Resistance will win and it’s up to the new Marketer to learn, adapt, or fight back. Sadly, Resistance wins more often then not – especially on new prey and the new Marketer goes back into his shell and fear sets in.

Quote from “The War of Art”… “The armature believes he must first overcome his fear; then he can do his work. The professional knows that fear can never be overcome. He knows there is no such thing as a fearless Warrior or a dread-free artist.”

The new Network Marketer then reads more, digs more, knowing enough to “make it” in Network Marketing, but scared to death to take action. His new endeavor is filled with procrastination and delays. His mind, which was once filled with excitement and ideas, now swims in a motionless sea of fear and constant self-sabotage.

When Resistance has you in its grip – the more you struggle to get out, the harder it pulls. Resistance uses your own power and force to keep you right where you are.

The more you want to change and try to change, the more Resistance you will attract. For some, this seems to be a catch-22, while for others, they see an opportunity: An opportunity to be free from the constant struggle and inner battle we all face on the road to success.

So young Marketer, you want to be a successful Network Marketer. Good. Figuring out how to do it is easy to discover in our vast digital world. But knowing how to battle the untold forces of Resistance is what will allow you to apply, use, and take action on what you have learned.

Learn to conquer Resistance, be lead by fear, get out your own way, and finally… the most important thing that you could do is to turn pro.

As far as I am concerned, for years I struggled to get projects off of the ground, websites up and running, books written, businesses launched, marketing campaigns executed, and fought the invisible force, Resistance. Turning pro is a simply a developed mindset that you eventually learn to prolong for extended periods – ideally throughout your entire career.

For example, a Pro Network Marketer is someone who has a new marketing idea at 2 AM – right before they are about to turn off their computer for the night; he/she then sits back down, and begins to make the idea a reality. Then, battling through Resistance and fear, he or she completes the project or idea… and moves onto the next one if need be.

Three years ago I read a book titled, “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield. At the time, I had very little Resistance, as I had very little idea as to the direction that I wanted to go. I recall finding the book at the bookstore, and for whatever reason being drawn to it. I purchased the book and read it. I can remember having thoughts asking myself why I bought the book, as I didn’t get much out of it.

As time went on and the direction I had wished to pursue became more clear, Resistance and fear set in. I battled and lost over and over again. It wasn’t until I was organizing my massive library of books that I had purchased trying to find the answer as to why I was stuck, when I found my copy of “The War of Art”.

I thumbed through the pages, trying to remember what it was about. I soon began to find that several sentences were underlined throughout the book. I opened to page 16, which had been a page that I had folded over and circled several times. It read, “Master that fear and we conquer Resistance.” I then saw I underlined, “The danger is greatest when the finish line is in sight.” Then, “So if you’re paralyzed with fear, it’s a good sign. It shows you what you have to do.”

Three years ago, I underlined those sentences – why? I don’t know. They gave me no purpose then.

But now, they were exactly what I needed to conquer Resistance.

Re-reading this book has done more than I could put into words for me. As a Network Marketer, you always need to be working on “Winning the Inner Creative Battle”.

Keep moving forward inwardly and you will undoubtedly create momentum for you and your business in the outside world.

Your marketing materials must grab your prospect’s attention long enough to
convince them to investigate further. Assuming you get past this hurdle, your
piece’s message must next convince the reader to call or buy.

To make the copy in your marketing materials pull its weight…and then some, take
this simple test: pretend you’re a potential buyer who knows nothing about your
product or service, then answer the following questions:

1. Do your headlines entice you to read the fine print? In other words, do your
headlines use problem or benefit-oriented headlines? If your headlines don’t grab
your attention, they won’t grab a prospect’s attention. In today’s fast-paced world,
headlines make all the difference. Think about how you read a newspaper. Many
readers first search the major headlines, then decide where to start reading the fine
print.

The same thing applies to your marketing materials; some readers peruse only the
headlines to understand the message and rarely read the rest of the copy. Others
read the headlines mainly to decide whether or not they even want to read the rest
of the piece. To entice your prospects to keep reading, make sure your headlines
state a problem or a benefit that clearly speaks to that particular audience.

2. Do you immediately explain your headlines in the copy that follows? Once the
reader is willing to read the finer print below the headline, make sure you provide
the solution or an enticing explanation of that headline immediately in the copy that
follows. Readers will quit reading after less than a paragraph if they feel the
headline just set them up and didn’t explain itself promptly.

3. Does the copy clearly speak to your potential buyer? First, you need to know
everything about your reader. What are their demographics or characteristics? If
you sell to consumers, keep in mind their age, level of education, interests, etc. For
instance, copy about music that appeals to teenagers should read completely
different than copy used to sell retirement homes to an age 55+ audience.

If you sell to businesses, determine the role your prospect plays in his company,
identify his education and experience, and find out what matters most to him in
using your services and products. Then, make sure your copy speaks loud and clear
to that reader.

4. Is your audience knowledgeable about what you offer? Do you need to educate
them about your products and services? Your materials need to make the reader
feel smart by using language that clearly speaks to them. In other words, don’t use
jargon, slang or highly technical language (unless your audience truly knows the
meaning of those technical terms). Examine every word in your marketing
materials, and create explanations for terms that require advanced knowledge.
Better yet, try your copy on someone who is not familiar with your product, and see
what words and phrases they stumble over. Then find ways to make that language
more understandable.

5. Does your copy use action verbs instead of “to be” verbs? One of the simplest,
yet most powerful ways to liven up your marketing copy is to change “to be” verbs
into action verbs. Replace verbs such as is, are, was, were, has, and have with in-
the-present action words. Besides making your copy more colorful and interesting,
action verbs get your reader excited about what you offer. A great book that covers
this topic is “Business Writing That Counts!” by Dr. Julie Miller (available at
Amazon.com).

6. Is it clear your company has the expertise and qualifications? Unless you have
top market share, great visibility, and name awareness in your industry, you still
need to convince prospects your company is trustworthy and experienced. Achieve
this with relevant information on your company’s background, testimonials from
satisfied clients, certifications, important awards, and even awards you were
nominated for, but didn’t win. Also mention any professional organizations you
belong to, continuing education seminars and training you and your staff take, and
any boards or non-profit organizations you participate in.

7. Where’s your contact info? Your company’s contact information needs to be on
every side of your marketing materials and easily found. If you can’t find your
company’s contact information within 2-3 seconds of looking, it needs to be better
positioned.

8. What step do you want the reader to take BEFORE they walk away from your
marketing materials? Whether you want the prospect to immediately make a
purchase, call, send an email, fill out a form and mail it in, call for a free
consultation, or join your newsletter list, use language that clearly tells the reader
the next step they need to take. Consider offering a freebie or an incentive to make
that next step more enticing.

One last thought: once you’ve tested your marketing materials, make adjustments
to the copy. But, don’t stop there – instead, test that piece on people you trust to
give you honest feedback. Tighten up the piece some more, then get ready to
watch your marketing materials convince prospects you really do have the solution
to their problem!

You’ve Got the Wrong Attitude

Your belief system is what may be standing in the way. Most academics cling to the belief that they must set aside large chunks of time, do a lot of preparation, and be in the proper frame of mind to be able to write.

What this means is that when you finally sit down to write, it’s going to be an unpleasant marathon. You have placed such importance on this writing session that you feel anxiety about it living up to your expectations. And you know it’s going to be difficult. After all, there are thorny issues you haven’t addressed, articles you haven’t read or reread, and a lack of coherence to your thinking. You need to solve those problems. And if you don’t do it now you’ll be quite disappointed in yourself.
How unpleasant! And how counterproductive!

What Should You Believe Instead? Or “Oh, The Irony!”

Research by Robert Boyce actually shows that first and second-year professors who participated in a study on writing productivity were able to turn out more publishable pages in a year by

Writing 30 minutes a day

Only writing on workdays

Shoehorning that writing into small gaps in their busy schedules

The difficult part, it turns out, was convincing these professors to try this low-key method in the first place. Ironically, they all insisted that the only way to get real work done was to do it in the marathon way that I described above.
The second irony was that when Boyce actually measured the amount that they were writing per week (before the intervention,) it was less than 30 minutes per week! This was much less than their retrospective reports of how much time they had been spending writing.

The third irony was that those who most adhered to the idea that you must write in large doses were the least productive.
The fourth irony was that although these professors considered writing a private activity, they did best when they were accountable to someone for maintaining their 30-minute writing habit.

Do It Already!

So what’s stopping you from learning from these professors and writing a small amount each day?

Here are typical excuses:

It’s just not rewarding writing in small amounts. I feel like I’ve gotten nothing accomplished.

I have a big issue to work out. It will take more time than 30 minutes.

I feel guilty if I don’t work more each time.

I’ll never complete my dissertation/paper/research project at that pace.

I’ve waited until it’s too late and I can’t afford the luxury of that small amount of time per day.

It just doesn’t feel right.

I’ve got more time than that, I should be putting all my time to good use.

It’s so overwhelming that I don’t know where to start, and by the time I figure it out my 30 minutes will be up.

My answer to those responses? Bull! Except for the emergency deadline, there is no reason not to try this technique. Give it time to see if it works for you. If you’re like every other academic I’ve worked with, you will resist the idea. I suggest that the more resistant you are, the more problem you’ve probably had with procrastination in the past.

An Action Plan

Try it for a week. Select a time each day, preferably not the evening unless you’re a night owl, and write for 30 minutes, without email, reading or other distractions. Don’t listen to the voices in your head saying you “should be getting more done,” or “you should be writing more than this.” I’ll bet at the end of the week you’ll be pleasantly surprised at your output, and pleased with the increasing ease with which you can sit down to write. You’ll start to see progress on your dissertation or article and maybe come to believe that you will finish one day.

Furthermore, don’t forget about being accountable to someone. Let someone else know that you’re going to be doing daily writing. Perhaps you can find a writing buddy, or someone in your dissertation group.

Don’t forget, if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. Start setting yourself up for success starting right now!

You have all seen them before, ads featuring “GOVERNMENT AUCTION, HUGE SAVINGS ON CARS, JEWELRY, AND MORE!” But the problem is that they are usually advertised in such a cheesy and unbelievable way that the more discerning shoppers simply write them off as being too good to be true.

Listen to me thoughthere ARE government auctions, and they do offer good savings. City police and other law enforcement agencies including the military and the DNR are seizing property as either a punishment or that was gained illegally (most of the time with bad money). They are using these sales as fundraisers so obviously they are just giving them away but just like any auction if you do your homework and remain disciplined and patient you will save significant amounts of cash on quality stuff.

How do you find these auctions? Well most are advertised, often in a very cheesy manner as mentioned earlier, in local and national newspapers. They can also be found advertised on the internet. You can either do all this research yourself or you can hire one of the many list services that can do the searching for you and comes up with a list of all the government auctions that are with in your location, type of products, and date parameters. These services are usually less than 40$ and can be a good idea for the person that doesn’t have a lot of extra time for research.

That is not the only homework that you have to do be for you go to a government auctions. As you probably realize it is important to do research on the stuff that you want to buy before hand so that you don’t get stuck paying too much for something. You also want to be able to evaluate the product on hand to determine if it is in good condition and worth buying.

Just like with any auction, a government auction will have many eager sellers and it is important to not get caught up with the frenzy of a sale and pay too much for “winning” something. Set a price before hand and stick to it. As they say “deals come and deals go.”

As a job search tool your Resume is your main calling card. It explains who you are and what you have to offer. Your Resume is your best chance to make a first impression. An exceptional Resume will help you Stand Out from the crowd. A solid, well-crafted Resume will get you interviews. That’s the Resume’s job – to get you the interview! The professional Resume Writer’s task, in creating that Resume, is to present and sell your skills, abilities and experience in the most professional and appealing way!

Your Resume has to capture the reader’s attention within 15 seconds! That’s where a professionally crafted Resume stands above the rest. Your Resume’s main theme and supporting value messages are what capture that attention, inviting the reader to look more closely at your Profile and Background. You need to Stand Out! That’s what your Resume has to do, help you put the best face on your skills, accomplishments and experience.

There are No Second Chances to make a First Impression! Do you want to leave your future to chance with a haphazardly assembled Resume that does not capture Who You Really Are? A professional resume will help You secure that next career move you are now ready to make. It’s called Branding. You are a Brand of One, with a collection of skills, work experiences and training that make You unique in all the important ways.

How Do You View Yourself? Your Resume says a lot of important things, but the one thing it says above all others is How You View Yourself. Yes, you heard me – How You View Yourself! If your Resume is just a cookie cutter collection of facts, figures and dates outlining your work and education history, then this tells the reader you view yourself and your experience as Not Too Important. Which for them means: Not Particularly Valuable.

That’s Why You Need to Stand Out! Don’t expect hiring professionals to read between the lines. Hiring professionals only read what’s on the lines and pause on those statements that send a value message to them. If you care about yourself and value what you have to offer, then a Professional Resume will communicate that and more. The days of using someone else’s Resume as a guide, or relying on some cookie cutter model of resume writing, are over.

Qualifications and Experience are one thing, but Attitude is equally important. You can have all the training and experience that a position calls for, but without a winning attitude, your Resume lands in the pile of “also rans.” What will set you apart from other candidates is that Winning Attitude which is essential to communicate. A Positive Winning Attitude represents Energy. A professionally crafted resume will convey that energetic attitude.

To sum up, you need a Resume that: 1) can sell your qualifications and experience effectively; 2) tantalizes, excites and prompts the reader to want to know more about you; 3) begins to answer the question: “Why should I hire you;” 4) goes beyond the standard formats and presents You as that one of a kind candidate; 5) takes your professional training and experience to the next level, showing commitment, dedication, ability and value; 6) and accurately reflects your positive, energetic attitude.
