Global resorts network Examine
Global resorts network is definitely an Arizona based company that gives a small business opportunity marketing a lifetime luxury travel membership that’s a low cost substitute for having a timeshare or condo or paying market rates for hotel stays. The membership allows for seven days stays at four and five star resorts around the globe at vacation hotspots for bargain prices of $298 to $799 weekly.
I compared travel reservations with Expedia, Travelocity and Hotels.com which is not uncommon for Global Resorts booking at to operate between $1,500 and $2,300 at other travel sites. The $298 8 day/7 night stay is part from the Hot Weeks specials and includes paradise destinations like Hawaii, Barbados, the Bahamas, trinidad and Greece. I ensured to use the identical travel dates in each comparison.
Global Resorts pays a $1,000 for the representative who helps to make the $2,095 sale for that lifetime travel membership. The same package has been around for over Twenty years and contains sold for as much as $10,000. If you are considering joining the Global resorts network program as a possible affiliate, take into account the person you join with being a tour guide. Find someone who is actively training their teammates to ensure your adventure with GRN is really a profitable journey.
The membership has a wide selection of four and five star luxury resorts and vacation rentals to select from, and the value can there be but to earn money you need to have good marketing in position. There are more travel opportunities like MOR Vacations which looks similar. Personally the truth that the world Resorts membership has been in existence for so very long makes me feel more confident in regards to the long term stay.
Most fail at an internet business simply because they can’t place the puzzle together.
Success in almost any Network marketing business necessitates having a profitable marketing strategy.

A Thoughtful Journalist’s Guide to Covering Abortion
How do you write about a topic that is both the third rail of US politics and also one of the most common medical procedures in America? There are many things to be mindful of when writing about abortion. This is the first installment of what I hope will be an ongoing conversation about writing about abortion with integrity. Let’s dive right in.
Language matters.
Are you using the words “pro-choice” and “pro-life”? Typically, the pro-choice movement prefers “anti-choice” to “pro-life,” since the latter implies that the pro-choice movement is “anti-life,” which is preposterous (not to mention false). Another alternative to “pro-life” is “anti-abortion rights.” And what about using terms like reproductive justice and pro-voice? If you’re writing about women’s personal abortion stories, you may want to investigate exactly what pro-voice means, and if you’re looking at abortion from an intersectional lens, reproductive justice is your best bet.
Science matters.
Who can you trust to tell you if a certain piece of legislation is based in medical evidence or ideological bullshit? Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health, for one (full disclosure: I used to work there and can say with confidence that the doctors affiliated with PRCH are fantastic). Other potential sources of medical information include the clinician/s or medical director at your local clinic and the National Abortion Federation. The best reason to ask clinicians if a piece of legislation is medically necessary or makes scientific sense? Most legislators aren’t doctors.
Planned Parenthood is not the only abortion provider in the United States.
While they’re certainly the most high profile abortion provider, they are far from the only ones. In fact, there are entire organizations composed of independent abortion providers, such as the Abortion Care Network and the Feminist Abortion Network. In covering only Planned Parenthood, you’re getting a small piece of America’s abortion story. Most abortions are done at free-standing (non-Planned Parenthood) clinics. Independent providers have a long and proud history of providing women with compassionate care–why not call them in addition to your local Planned Parenthood?
Be wary of abortion stigma
No one could argue that there isn’t a stigma associated with abortion, whether it’s with the women who have them, the clinicians who perform them, or anyone remotely associated with the topic. The last thing you want to do is perpetuate the notion that abortion is a gruesome procedure performed by badly trained doctors that only sluttly, selfish women have (see what I mean by stigma?). Many people perpetuate stigma without even realizing it. How?
- “Only 3% of our services are abortion!” Planned Parenthood pulls out this statistic every time they get attacked by a politician. They do so to try and emphasize the fact that they are primarily family planning providers, not abortion providers. By doing this, however, they distance themselves from abortion, as if abortion is shameful, as if abortion is something that should only be 3% of their services. Are they proud to provide abortion services? Of course. But you wouldn’t know it with this talking point.
- Talking about rape, incest, and life threat situations as acceptable instances of when a woman can have an abortion. What woman deserves to have access to abortion care? A woman who was raped? A woman with a fetal anomaly? A woman who can’t afford to have another child? A woman who didn’t use birth control? A woman who’s had an abortion already? Every woman, no matter her circumstance, deserves to have access to abortion care. We stigmatize abortion when deem certain abortions as moral or some women as deserving to have abortions, while others are “bad” or unworthy of legal medical care.
- Later abortions: Define your terms. When you say “later abortion,” what do you mean? In research land, it usually means abortion after 24 weeks. Some people use the medically innocuous “late term abortion” to signify anything from an abortion in the second trimester to an abortion into the third trimester. Make sure you know which one you’re talking about. Read the literature on second trimester and later abortions. Accept the fact that there is nothing inherently, morally wrong with later abortions. Learn about why women need them, that there’s no medical consensus on viability, and no agreement on “fetal pain.” Check your language–are you somehow implying that later abortions are morally wrong, or that a woman should’ve just hurried up and made a decision earlier? That’s stigma in action.
- For more on abortion stigma, see ANSIRH’s research.
One woman’s abortion story isn’t every woman’s abortion story.
One in three US women will have an abortion by the age of 45. It follows, then, that one in three US women will not have the the same reasons for having an abortion, or the same reaction afterwards. Who has an abortion? Every type of woman, it turns out: women of every class, race, ethnicity, and education level. We also know that women seek abortion care for every possible reason: they can’t afford another child, a birth control mess up, a health condition, or simply not wanting to be a mother (whether for the first or sixth time) at that point in her life. Whatever the woman’s reason for an abortion, it’s a valid one, and not your job to make a judgement call on it. Similarly, many women feel relieved after their abortions, some women feel regret or sadness, others feel a mix or something completely different. If you’re writing about women’s reactions to having abortions, make sure you talk to a variety of people who can give you multiple perspective on the experience. If you need to talk about abortion stories in broader strokes, talk to organizations like Exhale and Backline that support women before and after their abortions.
There’s a lot to think about when covering abortion. As much as we want it to be, abortion isn’t just a medical procedure; it’s tied up in political and cultural battlegrounds that demand thorough exploration. You need to make deliberate decisions to seek out medically and scientifically accurate information if you want your article to reflect the reality of abortion in the US.

One Down, ??? To Go…
“A study by the University of Sherbrooke shows there have been 12 honour-killing victims in Canada since 1999 compared with three between 1954 and 1983.”
~ ITEM: Honour killings on the rise in Canada: Study
~ ITEM: Worldwide Trends in Honor Killings; “Honor” Murders – Why the Perps Get off Easy
~ NOW THAT CANADIAN justice has been upheld over the shariafied Shafias, let’s not have ‘special Muslim sensitivity squads’ abound– instead, review all the cases of missing teen Muslim girls over the past 10 years, and the outright cases of honour murder that have previously been let slide.
Unless a clear message is sent that this isn’t a one-off, the murders will continue, and the Muslim community well never be forced to confront the ugliness of this part of their religion. Justice is for all, or for none– if Jews and Christians and Mennonites aren’t let slide on offing their erring spawn, neither should the adherents of one certain religion.
Get The Rest
The Shafia parents & son are taken down– what about the case of Johra Kaleki? Or that ‘mother’ in Montreal a year or two back who got off scott-free? 12 such murders in 13 years? Now that we know what to look for, old cold cases of dead Muslims teen girls should be reviewed, and new ‘accidents’ be considered with a gimlet eye, until honour killing is ruled out. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
12 such murders in 13 years? Really? I’m guessing it might be double or more that figure, once you include erring wives, sons, or other family members who step over Mohammed’s line of “No penalty for offing apostates”. Plus, if the father/ brothers are good at covering their tracks, there are all sorts of ways to off people if you are determined, and think God demands it.
Brain-Rotted Response
Lots of Leftists and weepy types are going on about how everybody else is no better than the Honour Killers. Really? Is that sort of poisonous special pleading for evil the best you can offer? This writer has twin teen boys– just imagine. But if I have to punish them, or worry about their friends or moral lives, I work harder as a Dad to help and guide them– I don’t start plotting to dump them in a canal somewhere.
Aside from the 9% represented by Hindus and Sikhs and a very few other groups, if you’ve got a bloody pile of 100 honour-murdered girls & wives & sons, at least 91 of those corpses will be Muslim. That’s a world-wide problem, to say the least.
God: Holier Than Thou
The Judaeo-Christian way is clear: Thou Shalt Do No Murder, and then there’s Abraham & Isaac, where human sacrifice is set aside forever as a way to please God. Or read again the teaching of Jesus in the Parable Of The Prodigal Son, or The Parable of the Lost Sheep.
If Christians were really “just as bad”, then Jesus would have taught that the father of the prodigal cut the son’s throat before he ran off, or that the Good Shepherd slaughters the lambs to prevent strays. Can’t be too careful.
People Are Basically..?
Such disgusting pro-Shafia/ pro-sharia non-Muslim apologists are turning back into white, because their “everybody is basically good” (especially victim-classes) mentality will not allow that people are people, and some are good, some are not, and not all religions teach recycling, social justice, and feminism (like liberal-squishy Judaeo-Christianity). Better apologize for murder & a sick religion than adjust to uncomfortable facts & reality. Or protect vulnerable people.
Can’t be too politically correct. ~

~ WE’VE HAD 67 YEARS of reflection on the Holocaust. In addition to dead & suffering Jews, another 7 million people were victims of the German National Socialist Concentration & death-camp system, just like copycat Gulags and Laogai and Re-Education camps throughout the Communist world. The dead & suffering included a large number of Christians, for being Christians.
Why? Same old reason: Jesus Is Lord. Not Caesar, not Mohammed, not Adolf or Papa Joe or Mao or Pol Pot or Fidel (or Che) or Daniel Ortega.. and, dare we say it, not Pierre Trudeau or Jean Chretien or Barack Hussein Obama.
Witnessing In Blood
In Imperial Roman times, not to offer incense and a knee to Caesar’s image was not just atheistic apostasy (the leader was semi-divine), but rebellion, and a rejection of the political order, as far as the Romans saw it. That Christians obeyed the law, paid taxes, prayed for the Emperor, did not sit in Occupy rats-nests demanding stuff and things and other people’s money? Not good enough.
Eusebius of Caesarea details the horrors and martyrdoms inflicted on early Christians by the state & mob-rule.. or you can look to more recent history, or the streets of many Egyptian or Nigerian cities, in 2012. Much of a muchness.
What’s With All That?
Why? Jesus is Lord. There is a God-given and divinely revealed wisdom that transcends and pre-dates the state, and all false claims to supreme power in the world, nations, or the lives of people. Family & marriage? The dignity of life? The nature of true freedom? God’s will and kingdom in heaven and earth?
Catholic priests in the Dachau concentration camp
So Adolf– who knew that many faithful churches & Christians (including the Pope) were saving Jews by the hundreds of thusands, and aiding the resistance, and not at all preaching and rejoicing in the official teaching that Hitler Was Lord– had plans. That plan was a veritable Holocaust 2.0– against European Chritianity. Clergy rounded up; uppity laypeople rounded up; work-to-death and executions galore; property and money confiscated, churches closed, demolished, or turned into Nazi facilities.
The documents were found during the Nuremburg trials & investigation.
“In 1999 Julie Seltzer Mandel, while researching documents for the “Nuremberg Project”, discovered 150 bound volumes collected by Gen. William Donovan as part of his work on documenting Nazi war crimes. Donovan was a senior member of the U.S. prosecution team and had compiled large amounts of evidence that Nazis persecuted Christian Churches. In a 108-page outline titled “The Nazi Master Plan” Office of Strategic Services investigators argued that the Nazi regime had a plan to reduce the influence of Christian churches through a campaign of systematic persecutions.”
As it was, both Daschau & Sachsenhausen camps held many Christian leaders; monks, and nuns and leading laypeople were rounded up; and resisters like Dietrich Bonhoeffer or the White Rose group were executed not simply as enemies of the state, but for the faith that lay behind their courage and activity.
The Emperor Obama
The witless wonder of America has– instead of stealthing his pro-death agenda– made it public via trying to force Roman Catholic hospitals to take on the full contraceptive pro-abort programme. Like former Jean Chretien in Canada, Mr. Hopenchange is dabbling in anti-Christism: trying to rule as if God or no higher principle or power than him is supreme, and that obstinate (faithful non-prog) Christians are enemies of the state. Way to toss the vote, genius.
MCJ Blogger Christopher Johnson is all over this situation (with generous linkeries), so go read up and witness the soft-persecution even as it unfolds. Remarkably, even some liberals and prog-Catholics are pushing back against Emperor Hussein, and wondering where their paradise went. Welcome to the Obama’s Bitter Exes club, where the betrayed and lied to wake up and realize It Was All A Lie.
What Comes Next?
The unredeemed world hates Jesus, and so it hates his flock; when arbitrary power treads into claiming divinity and absolute authority (on a national or personal level), persecution will come to the faithful, who will not bend the knee, for Jesus is Lord. Western Christian persecution is mostly soft now, with Obama and McGuinty and a faith-hating media, but cheer up– it may well get much worse before it gets any better. ~
Star Wars & Nerds
~ ITEM: Go Read All This First.
~ ITEM: Scroll down for comments
Hey, Kathy. Another pithy, punchy piece to rouse the interwebs. Brava!
Interestingly, my father (a hard-core real SF reader from youth) cordially hated Star Wars, and still does. Good SF is where you’re still allowed to do metaphysics on the side– but don’t tell anyone. BTW, he studied nuclear physics, computers, medicine, and is a working pathologist, a.k.a. super-doctor, so he has a career or three. NRA, Republican.. you get the drift.
George Lucas is a smarter-than-thou nasty little man of limited but real talents, and a boundless appetite for money, and hating on his fans. As a teen, I too went to the theatre that summer of ’77 too many times, and enjoyed less and less the new movies as they came out.
Then I mostly grew up, got two degrees, got married, went to work, got babies, and while I’m a recovering nerd, I understand how SW is a fixture for so many people. It’s a place (like religion used to be) to discuss and cheer on and unapologetically love the big stuff: good and evil, right and wrong, sacrifice and redemption. It’s also politically incorrect, and has manly men being men and all manly and stuff. With swords and guns and zoomy ships. It’s hardly mangina fodder.
Mind you, it’s actually better to get a life & a real religion, since worrying about the fate of the Ewoks or spending endless years of life nerding up on fictional minutiae isn’t the same as worrying about the fate of the Copts, or figuring out the minutiae of faith, the Bible, and the fate of your soul.
In that respect, the Tolkien books are doors opening into that world without all of Lucas’ Buddhist BS, and the little idiot Yoda’s bromides and nonsense. Peter Jackson messed up many of the themes and characters, but reading the books is always possible, and re-reading them yearly (like Sir Christopher Lee) reveals more each time. Lucas’ original book is OK, but it’s like a signpost pointing to another signpost in terms of The Big Issues in Grown-Up world.
IMAO. ~
