    MLM Home Business - Do You Need a College Degree?
    MLM is a Job?MLM is NOT a job?People get confused ... even ones who have gone to college.Some people think that to run an MLM home business, you need a college degree. Not true. But you definitely need to be able to think on your feet.A college education can certainly help you get a regular job. Many employers evaluate your college record in decidi
    It is a widely known fact that the United States of America has more people in prison per capita than in most all other first world nations. Yet we do not have the lowest crime rates, yet one would think we should. Part of the problem is the recidivism rates are astoundingly high and some has to do with education. Nevertheless it the problem is not going away even if we fixed those two things. And thus this became a serious topic in an online Internet forum recently. See for your self as two members discuss this very important issue.

    The first think tank member states; “As for reform of the criminal court system - if the laws are amended to give judges discretion again, this will go far in reducing sentences for petty offenders who DO need some sort of consequences but not lifelong punishment and stigma.”

    But many judges are really Lawyer/politicians and cannot be trusted. They are humans and well you just cannot trust humans you know? So can we trust judges to not give breaks to friends of friends and people in higher places, which leaves out the poor who cannot afford favors, thus corrupting the system. Regarding the life long punishment and stigma indeed that too is an issue. Yet if someone is a known felon and we all know the high-risk of repeat offenders in this nation do you want that person working in your company? Do you? So if we had lower recidivism then perhaps the second problem of life long stigma might disappear.

    “Another specific suggestion I would make is that there be diversion programs for lower level offenses - if the govt took even the $25,000 it would have spent for one year in prison and spent a third of that on plugging them into the appropriate programs (drug treatment, anger management, citizenship, civics, parenting classes) as well as the usual community service, the community would benefit.

    Affiliate Marketing and MLM - Vive Le Difference
    I have to start this particular article with this disclaimer. I have nothing against MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) or those who have found their niche within it, unless they don't know what the word 'NO' means or they don't realize that a funeral is not the right place to sell toiletries or washing powder (why did those two come to mind?)I've have been seeing Affiliate M

    The Many Ways To Profit From O.P.P.'s Multiple Cash Streams
    In a previous article we introduced you to the concept of O.P.P., or Other People's Products.In that article we asked you what you would do if you found a business that:* could generate multiple streams of income* would work in any area of the country* could be worked both locally and nationally* could be worked both on and off the webbut not lifelong punishment and stigma.”

    CV and Resume Mistakes
    Curriculum vitae (CV) or resume is one of the most vital career tools; this is the reason why in-dept knowledge about it is, as well as close attention to it is indispensable in today’s job competitive world. However, most job hunters, especially fresh graduates do not pay close attention to it at all; most of them just copy and past the resume, by just making some changes to

    Biologically Better Communication: Developing Scientifically More Effective Marketing
    "Less is more" is more than good advice, it’s how our brains comprehend information.Think different. Just do it. It’s the economy, stupid.These are not just cute tag lines meant as a punch line to a piece of advertising. They are well crafted statements able to stir the emotions of consumers and make an unknown Arkansas governor president of the United States.

This $12,000 could also be in addition to what the person has to pay as fines and the funds saved by not going through lengthy trials (with associated public pretender/district attorney costs and clerks, judge, etc.).”

    Hmmm? Good point. Interesting. Yes the over all return on investment of such a program makes sense but getting the taxpayer to want to spend that kind of money might be a little tough to have them swallow, but it makes logical sense.

    You state; “With automatic diversion programs or a structured probation program for the lowest-level offences, it would reduce recidivism greatly. (An acquaintance wrote an amazing 7-year probation program) so other countries have solved this problem already” that I cannot attach here... I would be happy to email it.).

    Perhaps this may be a right step towards solving the issue, but again there are costs involved and every time we expand public services the government gets bigger and less efficient meaning the blob of bureaucracy keeps on growing and growing? But this also makes a lot of sense indeed. Good thoughts here. Worthy of consideration and we should all think on this in 2006.

    NEWS FLASH: Technical Communicator Saves World

    I had a boss several years ago who was amused by my earnest and relentless preaching about the importance of technical communication in today’s business world. He once introduced me to some colleagues as “the tech writer who is going to save the world!” Well, okay, perhaps I do go a little too far on occasion. People have kidded me that I am not just performing a technical writing job – I am on a technical communications “crusade”. But no matter how often people tease me about my overly-serious view of our profession, I remain convinced that we are on the cusp of an enormous change. Technical communication is poised for a breakthrough. We are about to take our place among the business disciplines that are viewed as critical to the success of technology projects. Am I overstating things? I don’t think so.
