| Andy Johnson - Independent Xango Distributor - Work from Home! Most people you know are on the "40 year plan", working for linear income.
That means they only get paid for what they personally produce. They work 8 hours, they get paid 8 hours. They
get sick or hurt and can't work for 3 months.. there is no money coming in. That's called "Plan A"..
and it's the plan most people around you are on. The ones who say to you "I'm not sure I'd be interested",
or "I don't have the time to work a business", or "I tried one of those things before for a month
and it didn't work". Now, consider the alternative. With leveraged income we get paid on our own personal
efforts, AND on the efforts of an organization. J Paul Getty said, "I'd rather have one percent of a hundred
peoples' efforts than a hundred percent of my own". Our business is called: a Plan B. Guess what? Most people
don't have one. On the David Letterman show Donald Trump was asked what he would do if he lost everything and had
to start over? Trump's response? Network Marketing. |

| Invasive Species - The National Invasive Species Information Center (NISIC) was established in 2005 at the National Agricultural
Library to meet the information needs of users including the National Invasive Species Council (Council). NISIC
creates and manages the www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov Web site. The Web site serves as a reference gateway to information,
organizations, and services about invasive species. The Center grew out of NAL's leadership in the development
of the Invasivespecies.gov Web site for the Council. In June 2000, Invasivespecies.gov was launched as a joint
collaboration between NAL, the U.S. Geological Survey, National Biological Information Infrastructure, and the
Council. The site began with less than 200 links to external resources. By June 2005 the Web site had more than
12,000 unique links. A major redesign was needed to enhance access to this growing wealth of resources. |

working in the Durham Public Schools to make photographs the basis for a variety of learning experiences across
the curriculum. Since then, LTP has worked with numerous elementary- and middle-school teachers and with hundreds
of children of varying ages and backgrounds. |

languages, recorded, transcribed, translated, and summarized.This project is part of Panos' Oral Testimony Program,
which aims to amplify the voices of those at the heart of development: people who are disadvantaged by poverty,
gender, lack of education and other inequalities. Collecting and disseminating oral testimonies allows the least

| Operation Migration - founded in 1994 as a non- profit charitable organization by Bill Lishman and Joe Duff. That was five
years after Bill became the first human to fly with birds, and one year after the two artists, turned biologists,
used ultralight aircraft to lead a small flock of Canada geese from Ontario, Canada to Virginia, USA. The unassisted
return migration of these geese the following spring garnered world-wide attention that led to the making of the
hit movie Fly Away Home with Columbia Pictures.To perfect techniques, and ensure that once released, birds conditioned
to follow their ultralights would remain wild, several migration studies were conducted with non-endangered Sandhill
cranes in subsequent years. The results of these studies were evaluated by the Canada / United States Whooping
Crane Recovery Team. Like many birds, Whooping cranes learn their migration route by following their parents. But
this knowledge is lost when the species is reduced and there are no longer any wild birds using the flyway. Until
Operation Migration was asked by the US Fish and Wildlife Service to spearhead a reintroduction of the world's
most endangered cranes, there was no method of teaching migration to captive reared Whooping cranes released into
the wild. |

| Pearls - Cherished as symbols of purity and perfection, elegance and affluence, pearls are unusual gems, created
inside living animals called mollusks. Occurring naturally in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors, pearls
have long captured the attention of scientist as well as socialites. Throughout much of human history, people around
the world have fashioned beautiful jewelry and decorative objects out of natural pearls, collected from both freshwater
and marine mollusks. More recently, though, people discovered how to induce pearly formation. leading to the introduction
of cultured pearls to the global market in the early 20th century, Today pearls are more widely available than
ever before and unmatched in their beauty and splendor. |

| Planet
Quest - For centuries, human beings have pondered this question. Medieval scholars
speculated that other worlds must exist and that some would harbor other forms of life.In our time, advances in
science and technology have brought us to the threshold of finding an answer to this timeless question.The recent
discovery of numerous planets around stars other than the Sun confirms that our solar system is not unique. Indeed,
these "extrasolar planets" appear to be common in our galactic neighborhood.The extrasolar planets we
have discovered thus far are giants, like Jupiter and Saturn. They are unlikely to support life as we know it.
But some of these planetary systems might also contain smaller, terrestrial planets like Mars and Earth. Over the
next 15 years, NASA is embarking on a bold series of missions to find and characterize new worlds. These will be
the most sensitive instruments ever built, capable of reaching beyond the bounds of our own solar system. |

| Swirled News - Huge, complex and beautiful patterns are being found swirled into crop fields around the world every
year. Their origin and purpose remains a complete mystery. Despite attempts to dismiss them as the work of human
artists, some believe the evidence points to a much stranger explanation. Wherever they come from, these spectacular
designs often display very clear symbolism, scientific, esoteric and astronomical, and demonstrate some extraordinary
unexplained effects. |
