Volunteering; building a community bond, and helping the poor in the vicinity. You’ll discover that it’s simpler to get involved when a volunteer event has been organized for you.

Accordingly, a number of companies are developing initiatives to help their employees work for the community through volunteer activities. One of the leaders in this is Adaptive Marketing LLC of Connecticut who also offer shopping and financial benefits programs like Your Savings Club (MVQ*CLUBSAVE) to consumers.

If you think about company-supported charitable effort, you probably think of blood drives, perhaps an annual donation drive, but this is simply no longer true. The employees of Adaptive Marketing are frequently provided with the opportunity to participate in community initiatives with greater and lesser time investments. For events like these, the locations, dates and times that had been arranged were made clear well in advance, ensuring that staff members knew what to expect, and the exact amount of time each event might specifically require from them.

Of course, it’s important to let volunteers back activities that fit their hobbies. At Adaptive Marketing, the firm bringing you Your Savings Club (MVQ*CLUBSAVE), members of staff are presented with the chance to choose from a diverse list of projects in their local area. These may include working on green initiatives etc. Often, the more they enjoy it, the more gets done, consequently, by offering so many programs Adaptive Marketing guarantee that their members of staff will make progress on all the initiatives.

If firms encourage their staff to get involved at local schools or homeless shelters, it is commonly for a single event or a regular, ongoing project. What this means is if you’ve only got enough time to assist at a Saturday morning park clean-up or the public library’s sale of used books, it’s still possible to help.

Lending a helping hand is a practice with a storied history at many businesses. Like many other companies, Adaptive Marketing supports volunteer projects to help others and to generate goodwill within its home community as a result of the hard work carried out by its staffers. What volunteer work is guaranteed to do is provide your employees with a reason to feel good, creating a motivated corporate culture. Promoting the volunteer spirit among your members of staff is rewarding in some very real ways, as we hope we’ve shown.

Yaz side effects have been documented to include some serious health problems for those taking the oral contraceptive. Some of the Yaz side effects can be terminal and include, but are not limited to blood clots, heart attack, stroke, kidney injury or failure, organ injury or failure, such as gall bladder, liver, and pancreas, and once in a while even death.

The Food and Drug Administration has now sanctioned the producers of Yasmin due to misleading claims were made in their commercials, which advised that the contraceptive pill could successfully alleviate PMS and all forms of acne. These claims were mistaken because Yaz is only approved to alleviate moderate to severe acne and PMDD. What this means is this particular oral contraceptive may not be for everyone as the ads advised. The ads also failed to emphasize the potential Yasmin side effects which means young ladies were not adequately warned or knowledgeable before making the decision to take Yaz.

If you have experienced any of these side effects, you may be able to receive compensation for what you have been through after using Yasmin. Contacting TheLegalAdvocate.com straightaway for a consultation is the smartest choice for you to make at this time. They can reexamine your case and ascertain if you qualify for compensation. Do not delay because you deserve to be compensated for the pain this has caused you. In the unfortunate event of one of your friends death due to taking Yaz, you may also contact someone to see if their case qualifies as well.

Replacing light bulbs used to be easy. Go to the grocery store, choose whether or not you want or need 90 watts versus 60 watts, check out, and go home. But now replacing light bulbs requires more decisionmaking on your part. The variety of lightbulbs that are available now include dozens of possibilities, including CFL bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, halogen bulbs, LED bulbs, and xenon bulbs. Some of these options provide longer lived bulbs, more intense light, or lower energy consumption when compared to the old-school incandescent light bulbs.

Some consumers are confused by the large variety of light bulb choices available. People even publish sites on the Internet offer guides and articles about particular light bulb options. Light bulbs are used in so many different capacities too: film projector light bulbs, tanning bed light bulbs, headlights for cars and/or motorcycles…the mind reels. But like anything else, learning a little bit about the subject will help you make wiser choices about what to buy.

The cause for the new diversity of light bulb offerings is the EPA’s “Change a Light, Change the World” campaign. Replacing incandescent light bulbs with more energy efficient options is a world wide priority. Fears of global warming and dwindling resources have made everyone start thinking harder about everyday choices like light bulb use.

You can learn more about the different choices in replacement light bulbs in this article: Replacement Light Bulbs.

The Second World War was the continuation of World War One and a plan to break down the existing structures in order to make this part of the One World plan come to fruition. They had tried this with the Merovingian Napoleon in a more direct fashion in the century before they put this refined plan in motion. Prince Bernhard was part of the Thulean Gestapo and I think Plantard was his equal on the apparent other side. Bernhard became the CIA man to head the Bilderberg founding and Plantard went on to be the Nautonnier of the Priory which even if it was new they both have been around in some way under some name since the Trojan War as I have demonstrated. Saunire as a top Priory official would have been part of the planning of this effort to unite the world beginning with Europe. Metternich, Czar Alexander II and others had seen the importance of uniting Europe. This Czar was assassinated for trying to create a real democracy or for his efforts on behalf of the US against the Rothschild plan. Clearly the Rothschilds had a change of heart after trying to break the US into many warring factions.

Hitler, Stalin and the Churchills who were in the pocket of the Rothschilds as well as other visible characters or ‘fronts’ were for public consumption and served their purpose well. This first quote is the reaction of a Canadian military attaché to the Allied government shortly after the second war to end all wars, when Bradley presented his book for comment. I take this a lot further than any book Bradley has written.

“He wasn’t surprised at the contents. He knew the story already, and said that everyone at appropriately high levels in Europe and North America knew it too. He advised us not to publish any of it.” (2)

I will give the reader the names of the families and a few more historical insights that include names of people who are very well known and alive today. The whole mess is purposefully confusing as Bradley notes on pages 338-9 of Holy Grail across the Atlantic:

“..And we may recall that other nonsensical fragment from the Dossiers secrets deposited sometime in the 1950s for researchers to find. ONE DAY THE DESCENDANTS OF BENJAMINE LEFT THEIR COUNTRY {With the help of their Phoenician ‘brothers’.}; CERTAIN REMAINED; TWO THOUSAND YEARS LATER GODFROI VI(DE BOUILLON) BECAME KING OF JERUSALEM AND FOUNDED THE ORDER OF SION {And the French Masons don’t accept SOUL.} Certain researchers had, by 1956, concluded that this Order of Sion had been THE super-secret organization behind the more overt Templars, Knights of St. John (Maltese Knights), Compagnie du Saint-Sacrement, etc. In short, this Order of Sion seemed to be THE Grail Dynasty’s core group. Was this new ‘Prieure de Sion’ registered in 1956 a legitimate descendant of the medieval Order of Sion?

The Prieure de Sion did not reveal the name of its leader, or Nautonnier, but it did list some officers and its Secretary-General, one Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair. A Saint-Clair again…

Researchers quickly discovered that the Plantards were an ancient lineage originating from the Pyrenees while, of course, it had long been appreciated that the Saint-Clairs were age-long paladins of the de Bouillon bloodline. The Prieure de Sion claimed a house organ, or ‘newsletter’, called Circuit, but the addresses given for both the Prieure de Sion and for Circuit’s offices did not exist… (pg.342)

The magazine also published a character sketch written by Plantard’s first wife, Anne Lea Hisler. According to this, Plantard was —the friend of personages as diverse as Comte Israel Monti, one of the brothers of the Holy Vehm, Gabriel Trarieux, one of thirteen members of the Rose-Croix, Paul Lecour, the philosopher on Atlantis, the Abbé Hoffet of the Service of Documentation of the Vatican {If this is not the same young man that Sauniere met who is in the same position it was someone of the same inner sanctum.}, Th. Moreaux, the director of the Conservatory at Bourges, etc. Let us remember that during the Occupation, he was arrested, and suffered torture, by the Gestapo and was interned as a political prisoner for long months. In his capacity of doctor of arcane sciences, he learned to appreciate the value of secret information, which no doubt led to his receiving the title of honorary member in several hermetic societies,….

On the other hand (pg.343), maybe we of the democratic and mechanistic world-view should not snicker loudly at all. The Marshall Plan, the financial and political plan for the reconstruction of Europe, was thrashed out at Lake Leman {Where Plantard de Saint-Clair had been brought by the Swiss Government, after his time with the Illuminati inspired Gestapo.} in Switzerland {The HQ of the Rothschild/Merovingians, where a town named Sion has an interesting statue.}. The American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, had approved this plan, and two of his closest friends and advisors had backgrounds and interests as disreputable as Pierre Plantard’s. One such advisor, the financial wizard Bernard Baruch, was a graduate of a French ‘hermetic’ school and was the financial architect of the so-called Marshall Plan {Kissinger was here too.}. He visited Lake Leman frequently in the immediate post-war years. FDR’s other close friend and advisor was the architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, whose estate, ‘Taliesin’, was named in honour of that boasting Welsh bard we have already (pg. 344) referred to in the section about evidence that Joseph of Arimathaea may have come to the Glastonbury area…

And we may recall that FDR was the most notable shareholder in the ‘Old Gold Salvage and Wrecking Company’ which was engaged in delving for ‘pirate’ treasure on Oak Island. What did they wreck?

No, we dare not snicker. Because we do not have the faintest idea what has been going on beneath the comfortable blanket of history, the kind of history that Will and Ariel Durant have dealt with, and Barbara W. Tuchman… Who was the leader? Could he be the actual heir of the Dynasty? Reporters got onto that, too:

… ‘On February 13 (1973) the ‘Midi Libre’ published a lengthy feature on Sion, Sauniere and the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau. This feature specifically linked Sion with a possible survival of the Merovingian bloodline into the twentieth century. It also suggested that the Merovingian descendants included ‘a true pretender to the throne of France’, whom it identified as M. Alain Poher.

While not especially well known in Britain or the United States Poher was (and still is) a household name in France. During the Second World War he won the Resistance Medal and the Croix de Guerre. Following the resignation of de Gaulle, he was provisional President of France from April 28th to June 19th, 1969. He occupied the same position on the death of Georges Pompidou, from April 2nd to May 27th, 1974. In 1973… M. Poher was President of the French Senate. As far as we know, M. Poher never commented, one way or the other, on his alleged connections with the Prieure de Sion and/or the Merovingian bloodline. (3)

As early as 1966 the French author, Saint-Loup, noted the birth of a new mass-movement in Europe. It has not yet spread to North America. Some people had begun to put together what they considered to be the truth about human history. They became ‘Cathars’ and began to make pilgrimages to the monuments of the great struggle, Camelot and Montsegur.”

My given names Robert Bruce are in honour of our supposed connections with the Douglas clan and Robert de Bruges or the Scottish King Robert the Bruce. The grandfather of ‘Prince’ Henry Sinclair is reported by Bradley to have fought and died beside Sir James Douglas while attempting to bury the silver casket with the heart of Robert the Bruce in the Holy Land. This bloodline of Jesus is not the ‘terrible secret’ of Saunire, that kind of history is not earth-shaking enough to make all these people do the things they have done. We will present much more of them and reasons or possibilities before we present the answer that we think fits the facts - ALL or at least many of the facts. It will not be ‘terrible’ but it is earth-shaking and in line with what Napoleon saw when he sat alone in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid. He had been told by the genealogists of the Masons that Josephine Beauharnais was a true Merovingian carrier of the blood of Jesus. He was probably directed or encouraged to marry her (a Creole from the Indies) as well as to go to Egypt and begin the uncovering of the secrets in the Pyramid.

Former Senator, Daniel Moynihan, accurately summed up the
situation when
he posited that,”[t]he single most exciting thing you encounter in
government is competence, because! it’s so rare.” In the case of
politicians the public is protected from ineptitude and apathy
through term limits. Unfortunately for John Q. Citizen, the vast
majority of government bureaucrats exist in an environment devoid
of responsibility or accountability.

The endless transfer of incompetent workers rather than their
outright dismissal represents a choreographed farce known as
the “Lemon Dance.” The negligent, unqualified and indifferent
workers that fill millions of government positions do so with the
assurance that they will never be fired for their transgressions. For
example, your average sanitation worker wakes up in the morning
confident that regardless of missed routes, spilled garbage or traffic
collisions while on duty, he will continue to have a job the next day.

A recent study by the Los Angeles Daily News concluded that
only six out of thirty-seven thousand Los Angeles City government
employees had been fired for poor performance. On the national
level, the Federal Times reported in 2003 that none of the approximate
half a million workers of the eight Cabinet-level departments were
fired for poor performance from June 1993 to June 1998. The public
must ask themselves whether local and federal governments have
collected the finest group of individuals capable of error-free work,
or if there are inadequate systems in place that are unable to
address the rampant poor performance of government workers.

The outrageous misappropriation and waste of taxpayer dollars
provides another contributing step in the offbeat “Lemon
Dance.” Consider a recent example where two Los Angeles sanitation
workers made over $8,000 of unauthorized calls on city-issued cell
phones. After several warnings, and continued misuse of their cell
phones, the city workers were not terminated while management
lamented that they “did not have an adequate policy explaining to
their employees that it is wrong to use city cell phones for personal
business.”

The inability of government superiors to adequately discipline
government employees makes the “Lemon Dance” the modern-day
Achilles Heel of government. Entrusted with running society’s most
important institutions, government finds itself in a position where it
can neither terminate its least qualified employee, nor reward
exemplary standouts. Instead, government bosses tend to look the
other way when faced with the poor performance of their
subordinates. The complete lack of accountability present in
government has, in turn, created a culture of apathy where workers
have no motivation to perform at even adequate levels. Richard
Riordan, former Mayor of Los Angeles and present Secretary of
Education for the State of California, cites a lack of accountability as
the leading cause of poor performance plaguing government
institutions. Riordan admits that government run bureaucracies
“do[es] not hold anyone accountable, because [it] might hurt
somebody’s self esteem by firing them.”

Former General Electric Chairman Jack Welch’s strategy for
improving employee performance deserves consideration.
Concluding that it was better to release an ineffective employee
immediately rather than allowing them twenty-five years of wages
and retirement benefits, Welch regularly fired the bottom ten percent
of his employees based on performance evaluations. This type of
approach could do wonders for local, state and national government.
The termination of deserving employees sends a clear message
throughout the organization that incompetence will not be tolerated.

Albert Einstein suggested, “bureaucracy is the death of all sound
work.” The current state of government employment certainly
supports his assertion. However, government must begin to clean
house. Until it becomes possible for government to dismiss
incompetent workers, the public will continue to be held hostage by
unions and ineffectual procedures that would prefer the “Lemon
Dance,” to even modest accountability.

The main benefit of the Digital Age is convenience. MP3 players are one of the most popular components in recent years. They way they work is simple. You simply download your favorite music to an MP3 player and begin enjoying your music. MP3 actually refers to a method of audio compression that maintains the original quality. People often download music from their favorite CDs onto their MP3 player, but downloading music from the Internet is becoming more popular. There are websites available that enable you to subscribe to their service that allows you to pay either a monthly fee for downloading music or on an individual basis.

When you think of MP3 players you probably think of iPod. iPod may be the biggest name in MP3 players, but it is far from the only type available. There are actually numerous MP3 players on the market. Think all MP3 players are the same? Just view the MP3 players featured on iPodMini.us and you will see how MP3 differ. MP3 players can be categorized according to the size of their hard-drive. The size of an MP3’s hard-drive basically translates into how many songs you are able to store on the player.

The lower-end of MP3 players, referred to as flash players, have a hard-drive from 512 MB to 1 MB and you can store about 200 songs. These players cost about $200 and are great when you want a compact player, such as when you go jogging. Many of these players are so compact that they can easily fit in a front shirt pocket. Popular flash players include the iPod Shuffle, Sony Network Walkman (1 MB), and the Oregon Scientific Waterproof MP3 Player. If you’re on a tight budget, the SanDisk MP3 player is available for just $70.

Middle-of-the road is always a safe way to go, especially when it comes to technology. Capable of storing anywhere from 350 to 1,000 songs, micro hard-drive MP3 players such as the iRiver H10 and iPod Mini are your best bet. The price tag for these players is about $200.

If you want to store a large music collection, MP3 players with a 20 GB or higher hard-drive should suit you just perfectly. The iPod Photo leads the pack of this level of MP3 players. With this MP3 you can store 16,000 songs. In addition to playing audio files, you can also use this player to view video files. The player supports the most common audio and video file types, including TIFF, BMP, JPEG, MP3, and WAV. The Creative Nomad Zen Xtra player is highly competitive to the iPod Photo. It also has a 60 GB hard-drive. Other top models in this category include the Sony Network Walkman (20 GB) and the Dell Digital Jukebox.

The MP3 players mentioned so far are portable. If you spend a significant amount of time on the computer, you may want to use a player such as Rhapsody. These players feature a lot of extras. For example, in addition to downloading music from the Internet, you can generally burn CDs, listen to the radio, or import CDs. These players typically feature a free basic model, which is fine for general music listening. If you want the advanced features you will need download a more advanced model, which includes a monthly subscription that may or may not include free music downloads.
