CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER

“My name is Narelle and I used to earn $500 per week working for a boss. Now I earn well over $2000 per week and I work from home around my children. [B&W photo of woman and 2 teenagers included] My business is expanding rapidly and I urgently need people to open new areas all over Australia.

Brilliant. No details. This will involve selling.

Hit website, get redirected to the above.com, Google for “60 Minute Money”, find “Herbalife Unsuccessful Stories – 2004/2005 and these words:

Two years ago I fell for the Herbalife opportunity. This was a group, now as large as David Beven, called 60 Minute Money, run from South Florida, initiated a few years ago by Russell Gain, Palm Beach FL.

This is a further scam to conceal the fact it's Herbalife. In fact take a look at our website www.the-success-happening.com , the one out of three sites, the recruiting one.

I was conned all the way, and now both my wife and I are ill, and splitting up because of the pressure. It's fine until the investment money runs out, then you are left to rot.

We were told 8 months in that we were the best distributors ever to enter his organisation. Now we're broke, ill and splitting up. Please look into this organisation and warn people they need $200,000 minimum to make it work.

...and lots more, most of them tales of losing tens of thousands, some $100,000, to the business in the hope that it would get better.

So...

We’ll need some real contact details, not just a redirection to a faceless money machine, if you're to be taken seriously.

If more than a vanishingly small percentage of the people you hook in actually made serious money from Herbalife, it would be worth doing. It's not.

A friend of mine (who lives near Byford) was in charge of IT for a wildly successful Western Australian MLM company, one in which the average per-capita income was significantly higher than for Herbalife. At the point where they hit 100,000 active members, eight (8) of them — including the founders — were earning more than $50,000 a year. That’s odds of 12,500 to 1 that you or I WON’T be amongst the wealthy, and that doesn’t count the dropouts, who probably amounted to many times that number.

If on the other hand you spent four boring years training to be an accountant, you would be pretty much guaranteed an income of over $50,000 at the end of it, you would be doing something genuinely useful, and you wouldn't have to either sell stuff or pressure people.

Please stop getting people's hopes up, when if you signed up all of Geraldton (and they’d sell to who...?), two of them would end up earning more than half the figure “Narelle” quotes as if typical, and the other 25,000 would be disappointed and poorer than when they started. This is not a sustainable business model. On average it harms people. Switch to something productive instead.



Why, yes, I do hate spam. What makes you ask?

I have a LibreOffice Impress slideshow that I wish to turn into a narrated video. 1. export the slideshow as PNG images (if that is partially broken — as at now — at higher resolutions, Export Directly as PDF then use ‘pdftoppm’ (from the poppler-utils package) to do the same). 2. write a small C program (63 lines including comments) to display those images one at a time, writing a config file entry for Imagination (default transition: ‘cross fade’) based on when the image-viewer application (‘display,’ from the GraphicsMagick suite) is closed on each one; run that, read each image aloud, then close each image in turn. 3. run ‘Imagination’ over the config file to produce a silent MP4 video with the correct timings. 4. run ‘Audacity’ to record speech while using ‘SMPlayer’ to display the silent video, then export that recording as a WAV file. 4a. optionally, use ‘TiMIDIty’ to convert a non-copyright-encumbered MIDI tune to WAV, then import that and blend it with the speech (as a quiet b

new life for an old (FTX) PSU, improved life for one human

the LEDs on this 5m strip happen to emit light centred on a red that does unexpectedly helpful things to (and surprisingly deeply within) a human routinely exposed to it. it has been soldered to a Molex connector, plugged into a TFX power supply from a (retired: the MoBo is cactus) Small Form Factor PC, the assorted PSU connectors (and loose end from the strip) have been taped over. the LED strip cost $10.24 including postage, the rest cost $0, the PSU is running at 12½% of capacity, consumes less power than a laptop plug-pack despite running a fan. trial runs begin today.

boundaries

pushing the actual boundaries of the physical (not extremes, the boundaries themselves) can often remove barriers not otherwise perceived. one can then often resolve an issue itself, rather than merely stonewalling at the physical consequences of the issue.
