To maintain the quality and control of a franchise system each franchise Outlet must receive the same training. A franchisor’s job is to make sure that the training is the same, keeps the franchisees efficient and maintains the consistency of the overall franchise system.

It is for this reason that I added a clause in our companies franchise agreements, which addressed general training and ongoing training requirements. Below is a copy of one of the renditions about clause;

4.3.2 General Training

Franchisor may provide ongoing general training on an annual basis to introduce new products, services and equipment, to review sales and marketing practices and to discuss other topics that are relevant to the Services provided by Franchisee. Ongoing general training classes will be held on a regional, national or international basis, as determined by the Franchisor and will typically be two (2) or three (3) calendar day sessions. If Franchisor holds ongoing general training at The Company’s National Convention, Franchisee or the Location Manager is required to attend such training. Attendance requirements at other ongoing general training sessions will be determined by the content of the class.

— — — —- —- — —

Says each franchising Company must address this issue you would be well advised if you run a franchise in Company to contact a franchisee attorney on this subject and figured out a good strategy to keep your training consistent in all your franchise Outlets. Consider this in 2006.

The Hummer is beyond any doubt the the world’s most recognizable off-road vehicle and it is astounding to find that a vehicle produced for military use back in the 1980s now has an escalating world-wide following in its 3 civilian versions. Indeed, just this month, GM gave notice of a partnership with Avtotor for the production of the Hummer 3 in Russia, which GM sees as its greatest potential market right now.

Everybody will clearly recognize the original Hummer 1 together with the scaled-down Hummer 2, both of which maintained the trademark box shape of the original military vehicle. But is the Hummer 3, scaled-down even further and with a clear shape of its own, a True Hummer or is it quite simply joining the multitude of other SUVs being offered today?

Virtually all Hummer 1 and 2 owners aren’t concerned about the fact that, despite the fact that the off-road performance of the Hummer are unrivalled, its on-road performance is nothing to brag about. It takes up more than its fair share of the road, visibility is appalling, parking is a nightmare and they simply refuse to think about its fuel consumption. The appeal of the Hummer lies simply in its sheer size and distinctive appearance.

Now the Hummer 3 obviously retains a large number of the trademark features of earlier models, not least the tiny military style windows that offered the occupants of the original military vehicle some protection but that give today’s drivers such poor visibility. However its smaller size and more rounded appearance now put it up against such competitors as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Chevrolet Trailblazer and it is possible that a lot of potential Hummer owners will begin paying a little more attention to the competition when thinking about their purchase.

So has GM made a mistake with its design for the Hummer 3? Well, only time will provide the answer to this question but as we depart from the distinctive shape and size of what many people would call the “real” Hummer, owners are going to look increasingly at the performance of the hummer 3 in comparison to its competitors and here the Hummer H3 is going to come up a little short I fear.

In spite of the fact that it will still win hands down as an off-road vehicle, the Hummer 3 is woefully underpowered for on-road driving. With a 3.5L 5-cylinder engine developing 220 hp, it would seem to be on a par with such vehicles as the Toyota 4Runner until you compare the weights of the vehicles and discover that the Hummer 3 is some 900 lbs heavier. Acceleration is extremely poor to say the least and you shouldn’t even entertain trying to put your foot down if you’re going uphill.

Of course there are ways to get around this problem such as the tune-up kit manufactured by Geiger in Germany. This kit includes a supercharger which will boost the H3 up to some 325 hp and vastly improve its acceleration, but should it be necessary to go to the time and expense of modifying your new vehicle? Perhaps this is one problem that GM ought to have addressed from the outset rather than leaving its potential customers to sort out the problem themselves and at their own expense.

SUV’s are becoming increasingly popular around the globe and this is clearly an expanding and extremely lucrative market. The Hummer has carved out a very distinctive niche in this market and the success of the Hummer 1 and 2 is not disputed. The question at present is whether the Hummer 3 will allow GM to continue making inroads into the market or will start to yield ground to the competition.

Sibling DNA testing is designed to determine sibling genetic relationships. Such tests establish the statistical probability of whether the siblings share the same two parents. A DNA sibling test can be performed to analyze the relationship of biological siblings by collecting samples from both siblings; however, including one common parent increases the accuracy of this type of analysis, and is highly recommended.

While conducting sibling DNA testing, the DNA laboratory determines the genetic profile of the alleged siblings and, based on the type of genetic material inherited by each sibling, a DNA index is determined. Based on the results of the DNA index, the sibling relationship is established and a higher value DNA index indicates a greater likelihood that the two individuals are true biological siblings. For instance, a DNA index of less than 1.00 indicates non-relatedness, whereas a DNA index of greater than 1.00 indicates that the two tested individuals are more likely to be true biological siblings.

A half-sibling DNA index can also be obtained to determine whether the siblings share only one common parent, versus two common parents. The ratio of the half DNA index versus the full DNA index establishes whether the two individuals share one parent or two parents. DNA testing can also help determine if twin siblings are fraternal or identical. For instance, if the DNA profiles of the twins are different then the siblings are considered fraternal; however, if the profiles are identical then a probability of being identical twins is calculated.

Sibling DNA tests are unlike paternity tests and do not provide a conclusive result; however, the tests might provide you with an indication of whether you are more likely to be or not to be the true biological sibling of the other tested individual.

“Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ.”

This is one of the few verses in the Bible that mentions the Rapture and the Glorious Appearing together.

It is my very strong view that these two events are separated by a period of at least seven years, during which time the Tribulation on the earth will take place.

I want to concentrate for the moment on Our Blessed Hope, which I am convinced, refers to the Rapture of the true Church when the trumpet sounds. (1 Thess 4 13-18)

Because the Bible calls it a HOPE, some folk may become confused.

The word ‘hope’ in the English language is a very over worked word. So much so that it’s true meaning is almost entirely lost.

Today, the word ‘hope’ is used almost in the same way as the word ‘wish’ we might say, “I hope it will not rain tomorrow because I want to cut the grass.” Using ‘hope’ in this way robs it of its certainty. In this context we have no certain grounds to ‘hope’ it won’t rain! Where I live in the UK, it most probably will rain!

The word ‘hope’ in the Bible is a certainty. I like to think of it as FAITH in the FUTURE

Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for. When the Bible speaks of ‘hope’ it is speaking of a real certainty!

That is exactly how I view the Rapture. It is a real certainty. Still future, but a real certainty. The question that comes to mind is ‘how far in the future’, or ‘how near is the Rapture?’

Personally, I believe it to be very near. I believe that we are not just in the last days but the last of the last days.

Are you looking for our blessed hope?

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him, He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.” Hebrews 9: 27-28

To those who ‘eagerly wait for Him.’ Jesus said in Matt. 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”

If we are holding on to earthly things and place all our faith and trust in them, we wont be keen on leaving them.

I believe it is time to set our sights on things above. To ‘eagerly wait for Him’ and to ‘love his appearing’ 2 Tim. 4:8

An advertisement currently running on British television states ‘Time is running out’ In the advert, it refers to the time we have left to send in our tax returns and shows a man standing in an hour glass, trying to keep his balance as the sand beneath his feet trickles though to the bottom half of the hour glass.

Time is indeed running out. Some are having a job to keep their balance in this world that appears to be going crazy. My friends, it really is time to seek the Lord. One day, it really will be TOO LATE.

Some blokes have a complicated time keeping a tooled up pecker and some women have astonishingly long sex drives, meaning it takes the woman a particularly long time to come. Because of this difference in sex drives, love making can often turn into an annoying and undesirable session. That’s why big dildos may be helpful. If the gent climaxes early in the love making session, or even if the chick just takes longer than her man, he can continue to penetrate her with the dildo. That way all sexual activity doesn’t have to stop. It gives the man plenty of time to charge his batteries and keeps the woman horny. And so when the man is all set to come back into the love making session, the girl will still be aroused enough to accept the male.

Your most sensual field is your brain. And as noticeably as numerous feminists will not admit this, the penis is an ancient symbol of power, no matter how huge or tiny, it is still associated with fertility. Penetrating your woman with a thin dildo can make a fantasy of power fun reality.

Some women savour the sensation of feeling full in their vagina or back passage. Whenever a sex toy such as a huge dildo, penetrates the vagina or back passage, the muscles contract around it. Countless ladies note the tightening of the aforementioned muscles to be incredibly enjoyable. Go wild Sex Toys and Vibrators from Sex Bomb.

Email marketing is directing your messages to targeted addresses. These addresses are either rented or gathered from your opt-in list. Don’t worry. This is not spamming. The people whom you send messages to want your information.

An Effective Email Marketing Campaign Will Help Your Business…

Target your customers

Build a good rapport with your potential customers

Lower your ad costs (email marketing is cost effective)

Increase return on investments (ROI)

“69 percent of U.S. e-mail users have made purchases online after receiving permission-based e-mail marketing, 59 percent have purchased in retail stores, 39 percent have purchased through catalogs, 34 percent through call centers and 20 percent through postal mail.”And, “78 percent of those surveyed say they want to receive e-mail from their favorite online merchants.” Source: DoubleClick

24 Tips to An Effective Email Marketing Campaign…

1.Own a proper domain name

If you are serious about your business, you need to own a proper domain name that will appear in your resource box in all your email marketing campaign. Free domain name like yoursite.xxx.com or www.xxx/yoursite.com will not be taken seriously. It gives people the impression that your business is a fly by night operation.

To build credibility you need to have your own proper domain name (www.yoursite.com) and professional web hosting.

2.Auto-responders

An auto-responder performs 2 important functions. It stores the names and email addresses of your visitors who opted to be on your mailing list, and automates your follow-up process. It can send a single message to thousands of subscribers in your opt-in list automatically.

You can have more than one auto-responder, each sending a different message. Without the effective use of auto-responders, an effective marketing campaign cannot be set in place. Imagine handling the tasks of a growing business without automation.

3.Offer Free Short Courses

The advantage of auto-responders is you can send out messages at preset intervals. You could utilize this capability to offer short email courses lasting from 5 to 7 days. For example I could offer for free a short course Five Days to Effective Email Marketing with this article. Offering short courses is one way to build up your opt-in list.

When your subscribers gain enough confidence in you through email courses, they would be more disposed to buy your products. Needless to say, your products must be related to the courses you offer.

Offering short courses also exposes your subscribers to your products or services.

4.Offer Free Ezines/Newsletters

Ezine is short form for electronic magazines. Share quality and useful information with your subscribers through ezines. Update your products and keep your subscribers posted of the latest developments in your business. This is good for building long-term relationships with them.

When you established your business as a reliable source of information, know-how and expertise, people will naturally be sold to it.

If you have a large subscriber base say 2000 - 4000, you can sell advertising space in your ezine.

5.Be Personal

Address your subscribers by name. You may write something like, Hi [First name] or [Last name], Thank you for your sign-up. People like to be address by name. It gives them a sense of importance. This is psychology 101.

Though your email will be read by thousands of subscribers each day, write as if you are talking to one person at a time. Use singular pronouns like ‘I’, ‘Me’, ‘You’, ‘Your’. This kind of approach is more personal.

6.Be Formal

Just because you are writing emails it does not mean that you do away with all the formality of offline letter writing. Maintain proper greetings, Hi [First name] of [Last name], and proper signing offs like to your success, best regards, etc.

7.Fill in the From Field properly

Fill in your name, not crony names, followed by your full email address so it does not pass off as junk mail. Delete and empty trash.

8.Fill in the Subject Field properly

It must be a clear statement that is relevant to content. Don’t leave your Subject Field blank.

9.Remind people how they got on your mailing list

This is good practice. Most people will not remember why, where and what they signed up. Remind them at the beginning of your email how they got on your mailing list.

10.Write as though you are speaking to your friend

Email writing is somewhat different from writing for print. Write as though you are talking to a friend. Don’t sound like a university professor or a kindergarten teacher.

11.Be Concise and get straight to the point

Your email text must be concise and get straight to the point. People don’t have all day to read your email. A good thumb of rule for an effective email marketing copy is 250 to 300 words. Don’t bombard your email marketing campaign with banner ads all over.

12.Use Short Sentences and Paragraphs

Avoid wordy sentences. Keep your sentences short and simple. Don’t clump your text together. Use plenty of paragraphs. It is easier to read the text that way. Paragraphs should be no longer than five lines.

13.Never Type your Text in Caps

Online this is interpreted as SHOUTING.

14.Check For Bad Grammar and Misspellings

An email with bad grammar and misspellings gives your subscribers the impression that you don’t take them seriously. So don’t expect them to take you seriously too. Check and recheck your email copy to correct bad grammar and misspellings.

The opening line is important. Bad grammar and misspelling from the start will get your email copy trashed fast.

This concludes Part 1 of 24 Tips to Set Up an Effective Email Campaign. For more tips, read Part 2.

Rice has been around for a very long time. It is known to have been cultivated for over 5,000 years and is thought to be one of the very first crops. With over 7000 varieties, rice has become the staple food of more than half of the world’s population. Most people have at least one rice dish that they particularly enjoy.

Asian countries produce approximately 90% of the world’s rice and Asians eat as much as 300 pounds of rice per person per year. Americans eat a little more than 21 pounds of rice per person each year and the French consume about 10 pounds of rice per person annually.

In spite of its long history and worldwide popularity, many people today are uncertain about cooking rice for fear of inconsistent results. This article briefly discusses the benefits of including rice in a healthy diet and offers an array of
tips and techniques for successfully preparing and safely storing rice.

Benefits of Including Rice in Your Diet

Rice is an excellent food to help keep your body healthy. Rice has the following nutritional benefits:

<> Rice is a good energy source…

Rice is an excellent source of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are broken down to glucose, most of which is used as energy for exercise and as essential fuel for the brain.

<> Rice is low in fat, cholesterol-free and low in salt…

Rice is an excellent food to include in a balanced diet. It is low in total fat and saturated fat, is cholesterol-free (therefore an excellent food to include in a cholesterol lowering diet) and contains negligible amounts of sodium.

<> Rice is gluten-free…

Some people are unable to tolerate the proteins found in wheat, rye, oats and barley and should choose foods that are gluten-free. All rice is gluten-free, making rice the essential choice for those with gluten free dietary requirements.

<> Rice contains no additives or preservatives…

Rice contains no additives or preservatives, making it an excellent inclusion in a healthy and balanced diet.

Long Grain, Medium Grain and Short Grain

Rice contains two starches, amylose and amylopectin. The ratio of these starches determines the texture of rice. Rice with a higher amylose content is separate, light, and fluffy when cooked. Rice with a lower amylose content cooks into grains that are moister and tender, with a greater tendency to cling together.

<> Long grain rice - This is a generic classification for rice in which the milled grain is at least three times as long as it is wide. It contains the highest percentage of amylose (approximately 23 to 26 percent) so it is separate and fluffy.

<> Medium grain rice - This size classification is for rice grains which are less than three times as long as they are is wide. Medium grain is sometimes labeled ’short grain’ to distinguish it from long grain rice. The cooked grains are moist and tender, and they cling together. It contains approximately 15 to 19 percent amylose and is typically used in recipes that call for a creamy consistency, such as rice pudding and paella.

<> Short grain rice - This rice is almost round (less than twice as long as it is wide). When cooked, this rice tends to be even more moist, tender, and sticky than medium grain. It is estimated to contain roughly 12 to 17 percent amylose and is commonly used for sushi.

Rinsing and/or Soaking Rice

<> What about rinsing rice before cooking?

Modern processing techniques are effective at removing impurities and producing clean, consistent rice; however, many people still prefer rinsing rice prior to cooking. Some feel that one benefit of rinsing is to remove any loose starch thereby providing a fluffier, less sticky rice and more consistent cooking. Experiment with both techniques to determine which you like best.

<> What about soaking rice before cooking?

Some varieties of rice (e.g. Basmati) cook better after soaking. Soaking softens the grains for better texture and prevents breaking of brittle varieties. Most ’sticky’ varieties of rice will not cook properly without soaking. Be certain to soak the rice if it is indicated in the recipe.

** Remember: If rice is rinsed or soaked before cooking, be sure to drain it thoroughly so that the liquid measurement will be accurate.

Basic Methods of Preparing Rice

<> Absorption Method
The absorption method is the most popular method for cooking rice. It uses a set amount of rice and a set amount of water for a set amount of time. By the time the water is absorbed, the rice should be done. This is also the method by which most rice cookers work, though some employ a mixture of this and the steaming method.

<> Steaming Method
This is usually the preferred method for cooking sticky and clinging varieties of rice. Soaked and drained rice is put in a special steaming basket or pan over a pot or wok of boiling water and cooked with steam alone, without the rice ever touching the boiling liquid.

Proper Proportions

Most methods of cooking rice require a measured amount of liquid to ensure a properly cooked product. The general rule is 2 parts of liquid to 1 part rice by volume; however, different varieties of rice may require slightly less or slightly more liquid. Always refer to the label instructions to verify the proper ratio of liquid and cooking time.

How to Store Rice

<> Uncooked Rice
Due to its low moisture content, properly stored white rice should keep without losing quality for as long as 3 years. Store uncooked rice in a sealed container in a dry, dark, and cool place. If rice is expected to be used fairly soon, then a glass container on the counter or open cupboard shelf in indirect light is acceptable.

<> Cooked Rice
Allow cooked rice to cool completely, then store in a well sealed container or zip-lock storage bag in the refrigerator. Stored cooked rice may breed pathogenic organisms and possibly cause food poisoning when eaten. Always keep cooked rice in the refrigerator and discard all leftover rice that is not used within 2 or 3 days.

Tips and Techniques

<> Read the box or recipe for desired results. Since different varieties of rice are best when cooked using a particular method, be certain to follow recipe instructions to get the best flavor and texture from rice.

<> Measure rice and water accurately. The addition of salt and butter is optional.

<> Use a heavy-bottomed pot when cooking rice so the heat is distributed evenly.

<> Rice will triple in volume, so use the proper size pot with a tight-fitting lid. If the level of uncooked rice in the pot is more than two-inches deep, choose a pot that will accommodate the amount of rice to be cooked.

<> Use a tight-fitting lid so the steam will stay in the pot while the rice cooks. Do not remove the lid until the end of cooking time. If rice is not sufficiently done, return cover and continue to cook a few minutes longer.

<> Time the cooking according to package directions. Cooking at higher altitudes will require additional time and will be indicated in the instructions.

<> Rice prepared in the microwave takes no less time than cooking on the stovetop.

<> When used properly, rice cookers or steamers provide a no-risk method of preparing rice. To cook rice in a rice cooker, always be certain to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. You may find that you want to reduce the amount of water by 1/4 cup (50 ml) for each 1 cup (250 ml) of rice being cooked.

<> Fluff cooked rice with a fork before serving. When rice is cooked, stir, recover and set aside for 5 minutes. This allows some of the steam to escape and fluffs the rice to keep the grains separate. (Cooked rice will pack and become a bit sticky if not stirred at this stage.)

<> Rice may be cooked ahead of time and reheated quickly before serving. To reheat rice, add 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of water for each 1 cup (250 ml) of leftover rice. Cover and heat for 4 to 5 minutes on the stovetop or 5 to 10 minutes in the oven. In the microwave oven, reheat on HIGH for 1 to 3 minutes.

<> Leftover rice may be frozen in small bags or containers and reheated in the microwave oven or on the stovetop. Remember to add water as recommended above.

When all else fails, follow the instructions…

While exactly how rice cooks varies from variety to variety, getting consistently good results is certainly not impossible and people should not shy away from cooking rice. Just remember…to insure consistently good results, the best method for preparing rice is generally the one included on the package.

“Golf clubs do not play golf”

The following information was learned along the way during the development of our line of putters. The following observations became the premises for the design, materials and manufacture of the Prescription Putting putters and methods.

These observations are not original and many are obvious, but allow us to list them anyway.

The golf ball rests in slight depression on the green. This is why conventional flat face putters have a 4 degree incline to elevate the ball at impact.

The club has no control over how hard the ball is hit.

The club has no control over the direction in which the golfer hits the ball.

All balls skid after impact with a putter in spite of opinions to the contrary. To contend that a putter did not skid implies that the laws of physics were suspended during the testing.

The length of the skid varies from a few inches to three feet with various putters.

The greater the skid, the greater the inconsistency of the roll.
Not all putters are created equal.

The ideal putter design and construction minimizes the ball skid.
The golfer can only control the speed of the putter head and has no control of ball speed after impact.

Putters vary greatly in this transfer of energy in both the amount of time to transfer momentum as well as the ability to reproduce the same speed as the putter head.

The ideal putter design and construction quickly transfers the same speed of the putter head to the ball.

Most putters have an optimal place on the face for hitting the ball, called a sweet spot.

The larger the sweet spot in all directions on the face, top to bottom and heel to toe on the face, the more forgiving the putter design for missed hits by the golfer.

The golfer has more influence than the putter design over the direction the ball travels after impact.

The optimal putter design minimizes directional error produced by golfer’s misdirection of the putter face to the ball at impact.

The golfer has more influence than the putter design over the distance the ball travels after impact.

Optimal putter design and construction provides consistency of distance the ball rolls at any given impact force.

The performance is not solely dependent upon the face geometry; rolled or flat.

The performance is not solely dependent upon the club head geometry.

The performance is not solely dependent upon the mass.

The performance is not solely dependent upon placement of the weighting.

The performance is not solely dependent upon placement of the shaft in the head.

The performance is dependent upon the optimal combination of face and head geometry as well as the mass and placement of the weighting and shaft placement.

The variables of direction and the distance exist for each putt.

Therefore consistency of golfer and club design are the desirable factors.
Consistency of golfer and club design are the achievable factors.

Consistency can be measured for the club and learned by the golfer.

The golfer first should learn consistency in their putting stroke. Consider our Alternative Medicine for Putting workshop or materials.

Golfer should choose a putter that produces consistency by design and construction quality. See testing section and our line of putters.

Prescription Putting was founded by Lanny L. Johnson, M.D. Dr. Johnson is an internationally recognized orthopedic surgeon, one of the pioneers in arthroscopic surgery. He is an inventor, holding over 40 U.S. and foreign patents related to surgery. The most notable was the co-invention of the motorized instrumentation used daily world wide, even now, more than 30 years later. The longevity of this invention is unprecedented in surgery.
