Franchisors Need to CYA In Case of Franchisee Litigation

By Lance Winslow Well we all know we live in a very litigious society, almost to the point of absurdity with law schools turning out professional parasites by the tens of thousands each year. In franchising a franchisor has to worry that if a franchisee fails due to their own issues that they will name them in the lawsuit, as they most always do. Therefore a franchisor must keep themselves from unnecessary and unwarranted liability. It is for this reason that in our franchising company we inserted this clause to shield us from that potential eventuality and although it was not full proof it does help. Of course you will have to ask your own attorney [thief] what they think or how you might word such a clause to help your company. Below is the clause I came up with for my company; 7.17 Success of Business 7.17.1 Franchise Risk, Franchisee Ability Franchisee acknowledges that the success of the business venture contemplated by this Agreement depends primarily upon the business acumen and ability as an independent business owner. Franchisee acknowledges that neither Franchisor nor any other person has guaranteed or warranted that Franchisee will succeed in the operation of the Franchised Business or has provided or made any sales or income projections of any kind to Franchisee. Franchisee also acknowledges that this business involves hard work and sometimes long hours, similar to most small businesses, which are owner operated, and that Franchisor never promised this business was going to be easy for Franchisee, Franchisees partners, members, officers or directors. Franchisee further acknowledges that they are in good health and able to devote their full time and best efforts in the day-to-day operation of the Franchised Business or that Franchisee has the business management skills necessary to successfully hire a general manager to run the day-to-day operation of the Franchised Business. — — — — — Perhaps you might come up with another clause or your attorney scum of the Earth [opinion only exercising right to free speech] might have some ideas for you. You must address such issues to keep your company strong and healthy from the virus of litigation in our society. Consider this in 2006. “Lance Winslow” - Online Think Tank forum board.

How to Treat Your Liver Right

By Rudy Silva The liver has many functions, but the one I will concentrate on is its ability to neutralize toxins we eat. The liver is responsible for making sure that nutrients reach your cells and blood is free of toxins and pathogens. It does this by moving these contaminates out through your 5 channels of elimination - kidneys, lungs, colon, lymphatic system, and skin. Of course, when these 5 channels become toxic, sluggish, or blocked, the liver itself becomes toxic and sluggish. This causes the liver to become inefficient, which leads to an unhealthy body. Sluggish Liver As the liver loses its ability to detoxify toxins, you will exhibit a variety of symptoms and various illnesses - constipation, high cholesterol, irritable bowel, asthma, skin rashes, high blood sugar, allergies. Other conditions related to a sluggish liver are: * High blood pressure * abdominal bloating * pot belly, weight gain, cellulite * elevated cholesterol * brownish spots on your skin * acne, pimples, eczema * hot flashes, irritability, depression * chronic fatigue syndrome The liver is most affected by the foods we eat. What is especially deadly is eating food products that have “Hydrogenated Oils”, which contain trans-fatty acids. The liver sees trans-fatty acids as a toxin and not as a nutrient. At least 40% of all the fat that you consume or more, if you eat junk food, contains hydrogenated oils : Trans-fatty acids are deadlier than regular animal fat. Trans-fatty acids are associated with heart disease, breast cancer, and diabetes. What a good liver does The more junk food you eat the more you overload your liver. Its ability to process and create the nutrients that you need is hampered. Its ability to process and utilize fat is reduced. If your liver is sluggish and overworked, it will store the fats you eat within its own cells, within the cells of your body and especially around your mid drift. When your liver is working properly, some fats are eliminated through bile and out through fecal matter. If you eat plenty of fiber, this fat is absorbed by the fiber and held there until you have a bowel movement. If you do not eat enough fiber, this fat can be reabsorbed by the colon walls and routed back to the liver to be reprocessed. So now you can see how important is it to reduce, from all sources, the amount of toxins that get into your body and to eat plenty of fiber. Rejuvenating your liver So what will it take to rejuvenate your liver so that it is not sluggish, not toxic, and functions like it should to help you maintain your weight? There are three things that you need to do. These things take a lot of work. You have to be motivated to do them. Getting your liver back to health will takes some time since you need to remove the toxins from your liver slowly otherwise you will have side effects. * Eat liver friendly foods * Cleanse the liver * Strengthen the liver Eat liver friendly foods: Prepare a liquid green drink for your liver first thing in the morning. * squeeze the juice of one lemon into a glass * add one tablespoon of chlorophyll * add one tablespoon of aloe vera drink * add 8 oz of distilled water This drink helps to regenerate the liver. * The lemon helps your liver regenerate and produce bile (healthy bile is necessary for breaking down fat so that fats can be absorbed properly into the liver.) * Chlorophyll helps to detoxify your colon so fewer toxins get into the liver. * The lemon and aloe vera help stimulate bowel movements. The liver needs plenty of minerals. As you know minerals are obtained from fruits and vegetables. Once a day try to drink a vegetable juice. A juice that I enjoy is: * Carrots * Celery * Apples If you can’t make your own juices, buy bottled. It is better to drink these than to not drink any vegetable juices at all. Here are some foods to add to your eating habits. These foods are liver friendly and will help liver to get rid of its toxic condition and regenerate itself. * beets, asparagus, broccoli, * green and red cabbage, brussels sprouts * carrots, squash, okra * collard greens, mustard greens, kale, romaine lettuce, arugula * cauliflower * green beans * peas * tomatoes * spinach * potatoes, yams, avocado * onions, garlic, ginger, bell peppers, olives, radishes * eggs - two a day * flax seed oil - two tablespoons a day * olive oil * apples, grapefruits, oranges, plums, cherries, peach, berries * cranberry juice * sesame seeds, cashews, almonds * pumping, papaya, mangoes * all lettuces except iceberg * brown rice * chicken, fish * all legumes, sprouts of all types * organic soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, rice milk, distilled water * honey, maple syrup Herbs to use as seasonings: * basil, bay leaves, caraway, * rosemary, dill, parsley, thyme * oregano, tarragon, chives, cardamom Add some of these foods, if you are not already eating them, to your eating habits and in next article, I will give you some herbal formulas for teas that you can drink daily for good liver function.

Differences Between Men and Women

By Helen Brown No place demonstrates the differences between men and women better than the average family home. For centuries women have tried to tame men into understanding what living under a roof means. But males are genetically programmed to run around waving spears in the bush. Men have a special gene that allows them to crunch barefoot across a kitchen floor without noticing it needs sweeping. They think damp towels strewn on floors have built in homing devices that fly them back neatly folded on to bathroom rails. They believe the only time toilets need cleaning is when people are coming over for dinner. Even the tamest of men who have learnt to pile their dirty socks and underpants in some designated place like a corner of the bedroom or the back of the wardrobe have no idea what happens next. They think their clothes reappear magically clean and scented with ironing aid in their drawers and cupboards. When for some reason my husbands favourite shirt hasnt rematerialised within a couple of days of wearing it, hes genuinely mystified. Has anybody seen my shirt? hell ask, as if the thing has run away like a puppy. Hes equally mystified if the shirt returns minus a button. Ill fix it, he says. He then takes the shirt to the laundry and drapes it over the tool box, which (thanks to imaginative design in a Korean plastics factory) resembles a larger version of my sewing box. If after a few days, the shirt remains button-less, hell sigh and offer to take it to a professional repairer. I thought you were going to fix it? Ill say. I was but I couldnt find any buttons. For a moment I wonder if its worth asking which box hes been looking in the tool box or the sewing box. He does have trouble identifying things around the house. The other day when I asked him to put a dirty towel in the machine he said Which machine? Most men dont realise shirt buttons cluster like shellfish at the bottom of a sewing box. The prospect of being replaced by a professional repairer is enough to get me diving for the pearly little things. Men have strange ideas about what needs keeping and what should be thrown out. He always puts leftover bits of pizza in the fridge, promising hell eat them for breakfast. The only people who seriously eat cold pizza for breakfast are 16 year old boys. Two weeks later an evil stink wafts through the kitchen. Everything in the fridge is tainted with a sour flavour. Like Jacques Cousteau about to plunge into the deep, I put on rubber gloves and breathe deeply. The source of the stench is on the bottom shelf lurking behind a two year old jar of feijoa jam and bottles of beer waiting for the day an entire rugby team drops by for drinks - two wedges of what look like the inner soles of decomposing running shoes. His forgotten pizza. If only he could have applied the same theory to the plastic bottle I used to store laundry liquid. That bottle may have looked a bit messy with congealed blue goop down its sides, but it was a major environmental project. Instead of replacing the bottle every few weeks, I refilled it with liquid from a cardboard container. While my efforts probably werent doing much for pine forests, they were no doubt stopping several icebergs melting and saving half a dozen whales. The other morning I was horrified to discover the old plastic bottle was missing. After rattling through various cupboards, I realised what must have happened. Hed mistaken my precious laundry bottle for rubbish and binned it. Im not saying another word. A middle aged woman going on about a plastic laundry bottle could sound naggy, possibly even a touch insane. Besides, having a spear wielding warrior around has advantages. Every now and then he becomes a fearless dispatcher of spiders, an investigator of creepy noises in the night, a remover of dead rats and I cant imagine how wed survive without him In the meantime, readers have sent in fascinating emails about household objects. According to Clive Aim of Wanganui, Velcro can be lethal after all. He says the deadly fires on Apollo One in 1967 were fuelled by Velcro astronauts had used to stop things drifting around the cabin. As a result of last weeks column, Roz Redpath of Christchurch has been using dental floss to stop her ironing board cover wrinkling. Go Roz!

Low Interest Rate Credit Cards - Understanding The APR

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Carrie_Reeder]Carrie Reeder When shopping for a credit card, it is important to understand the annual percentage rate (APR) to find the best deal for your situation. If you pay off your bill every month, a no fee and moderate APR plan may be best. However, if you take out cash advances, you will want a low APR on that feature. Various APRs Each credit card has several different APRs. At the minimum they will have a rate for purchases, cash advances, and transfers. Typically, cash advances will carry a higher rate than for purchases or transfers. Transfers usually carry low rates. Sometimes you can even find an APR of 0% for an introductory period. To entice you to open an account, credit card companies offer introductory and delayed APRs. An introductory rate lasts for a certain period, usually six months to a year. Delayed APRs charge no interest until a certain month. Some cards also offer tiered rates, which keeps rates low for those that carry a small balance. For example, a card might offer 15% on balances between $1 - $1000 and 18% on balances over $1000. Credit card companies also have penalty APRs. These apply when a payment is late, as outlined by the cards terms. Fixed Versus Variable APRs A fixed rate APR doesnt change. Usually these types of cards have an annual fee with them. But they usually offer lower rates with some security, making them attractive to those who carry large balances. It is important to remember that even fixed rates can change, but the credit card company has to give you notice. A variable rate APR flexes with the index they are tied to, typically the prime or T-bill rate. Variable rate APRs are not the same as an introductory or delayed APR. Picking The Right Card Research all the APRs when you are looking for a good credit card. Know your credit habits, and pick the card with the rates that will give you the best deal. You can even open multiple accounts, using them for different credit purposes. For example, you can use one card for cash advances but another for purchases.

How To Score An A+ In Your Relationship

By Mark Webb Everyone wants to have a wonderful relationship but they usually dont seem to make it a priority nor do they have the right skills. Learning to have an A+ relationship doesnt have to be hard and boring. You can make it fun and exciting. Getting good grades in your relationship is easier than you might think. If you want your relationship to improve, you can change it. Be the one to get things started. Dont whine that you dont have time for this kind of stuff. Dont wait for your partner to make the first move. Dont take an approach of I will if you will. You need to be the one who gets it started. Scoring a low grade in your relationship is an indicator that you need to change your approach. A wise woman once taught me that If you always do what youve always done; youll always get what youve always gotten. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Before you change your approach, you need to know what you are shooting for. What is the ideal vision you have for your relationship? Strive to be as specific as possible. By being clear about what you want to accomplish you are more likely to achieve your desired outcome. Follow these grade point enhancement strategies and you will be on your way to getting the A+ relationship you have always wanted: - Take time to assess what kind of partner you truly are. You cant start to improve until you know who you are and how you actually perform. It is easy to fool yourself into believing that you know all there is to know about relationships. Even the experts will tell you that there is always more to be learned. - Hold onto the hope that you can score a high grade in your relationship. Positive expectation is extremely powerful. You become what you think about. See yourself as a great partner. See your partner as being extremely fulfilled in a relationship with you. - Keep away from people who try to belittle your efforts. Negative people always try to make you feel stupid about trying to be better. In school, I remember the bright students were commonly considered uncool or nerdy for getting good grades. I see people who are afraid to show their partner love and respect for fear of what others might say or think. Dont get caught up in these concerns. Surround yourself with people who have A+ relationships and are proud to love and respect their mate. - Dont spend too much time deliberating when you will commit yourself to becoming a great partner. Just do it. If you wait for the perfect time or a time in which you are caught up on your list of things to do, youll never have a great relationship. If you have a lot of responsibilities, strive to eliminate tasks that are non-essential. A total commitment to your relationship will help you get your priorities in order. - Improve your vocabulary. Your language will determine your destiny. Do your thoughts and words build up your relationship or do they destroy it? Secretly thinking negative things about your partner is almost as bad as saying them. Fill your mind and your mouth with words that magnify a wonderful future for your relationship. - Improve your memory. Remember all of the dates that are important to your relationship. These include: anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, and of course, Valentines Day. - Make sure your study area is comfortable. Clutter will distract you from focusing on your relationship. Get caught up on tasks and keep your space clean. It is hard for most women to relax when there are things that need to be done. Most men see a clean home as a reflection of your love for him. - Your ability to concentrate on your partner is crucial to scoring a higher grade in your relationship. Establish study rules. Make sure you spend time alone with your partner. Your dates dont need to be about addressing the problems in your relationship. The agenda needs to be about promoting the love you have for each other. I dont recommend a specific date night for most couples but do schedule time together and whatever you do, dont miss this class. - Get a tutor or join a study group. If you realize you are really lacking in skills then I suggest you get help. Seek the guidance of a therapist or join some type of group that promotes relationship skills. Churches tend to provide classes for instruction. These environments allow you to trade notes with others and learn from their successes and failures. - Pay attention to what you are doing during the times you are really close and getting along. Do this consistently. If you need help identifying these patterns, I suggest you pull out old photographs of when the two of you first started dating. Back then you knew how to score big points with each other. How did you think, talk, and act back then? I worked once and most likely will work again. Just think what being a top student in your relationship will mean for you? No more hassles with Cs or Ds. No more worries about conflicts and dissatisfaction. You are the one who will choose your own place in your relationship. Make the best choice, and then go for it with everything you have within you.

Drinking Tea May Help Cut Ovarian Cancer Risk

By John Frazer Drinking tea may help women cut ovarian cancer risk, says a study by Swedish researchers that finds more health benefits of tea. Earlier research has shown tea helps to protect against several type of cancer and boosts memory. Now researchers led by Susanna Larsson at Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, found that at least two cups the risk of ovarian cancer by 46 percent because of its antioxidants content, and reported the online edition of BBC News. The researchers questioned 61,057 women aged 40 to 76 about their eating and drinking habits between 1987 and 1990. The women were followed up until December 2004 to see if they got cancer. The research revealed that 68 percent of women reported drinking tea mainly black tea- at least once a month. During the study, a total of 301 women were diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Researchers said they saw a 46 percent lower risk of ovarian cancer in women who drank two or more cups of tea per day compared with those who didnt drink tea. Women who drink one cup[ of tea a day had a 24 percent reduced risk, while those having less than one cup had 18 percent less risk. The study is the first to specifically examine the relationship between the consumption and ovarian cancer risk, it said. The Archives of Internal Medicine study said more research was needed, and British experts added there was still no proof of the benefits. However, Larsson said: In summary, our results from a large population based cohort of Swedish women suggest that tea consumption may lower the risk of ovarian cancer.

Collectible Dolls - How To Care For Them

By Michael Russell In this article we’re going to discuss how to care for your collectible doll if you have one. If you’re a collector of dolls then they obviously mean a great deal to you. Therefore if you want to keep them in the same shape they were in when you first got them there are certain things that you can and should do in order to make sure that your collectible collection doesn’t turn into dust. The first thing that you have to do when you purchase your doll, whatever it may be, is keep the original packaging that it came in. This helps retain the value of the doll should you decide you someday want to sell it. Make sure you remove all the tape from the hair bows. The tape’s glue will discolor the fabric. Also make sure you get rid of any metal that can rust. If you’re going to store your doll for a prolonged period of time put a layer of acid free tissue between the doll and her clothing. This will help stop the fabric colors from bleeding into the doll’s body. If your collectible doll has inset eyes make sure you store the doll face down. If the body of your doll should ever leak sawdust, which is actually quite common in many types of dolls, put a few drops of glue in the hole where the sawdust is coming out of. If the hole is very large cut a round patch out of kid or muslin and glue it over the hole. Make sure, if you’re storing your doll away for a long period of time, that you check it regularly for this problem and any other things that you notice. If you have one of those dolls that sleeps, meaning the eyes close, clean the eyes with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol diluted one-half by water. Then, lay the doll on its back, hold one of her eyes open and drop enough solution into the eye to completely cover it. Repeat this process with the other eye and then open and close the eyes several times. Then turn the doll face down to allow the solution to drain out. After doing this, stand the doll straight up and take a clean cloth and dry her eyes completely. Never change the original clothes or hair of your doll or make any changes to the structure whatsoever. For one thing, you don’t know what any changes will do to the structural integrity of the doll and also by doing this you will greatly devalue the doll should you ever want to sell it. If you have a wooden doll, never wet it. Water and wood is not a good combination as it will stain the doll. If you have to clean her just dampen a cloth and clean her with it. If you are purchasing a doll for the sole purpose of selling her later then keep her in the original box unopened. This keeps the manufacturers instructions intact and keeps dust and dirt out of the doll. This will help get you the best possible price for the doll itself. ——————————————————- Michael Russell Your Independent guide to Collectible Dolls ——————————————————- Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Michael_Russell http://EzineArticles.com/?Collectible-Dolls—How-To-Care-For-Them&id=156200 generic phentermine without prescription how to buy phentermine without a prescription phentermine buy phentermine buy phentermine online without prescription

Design Ideas for Your Wedding Reception

By Amy Nutt The wedding reception is the part of that special day where the most time is spent and the most activities take place. There is much tradition attached to wedding receptions. These traditions need to be considered in the planning stage of the wedding. Some traditions can be altered to fit the desires of the couple and the expectations of the guests. The reception hall is going to be the center of all of this activity. It is a good idea to give some thought to the overall design theme of the reception. The design theme will determine the overall look of the reception hall and a carefully planned and executed design theme can add a great deal to the wedding. It is important to match the design theme to the hall where the reception is to take place. There has to be a match here. It is important to have a complete idea of just how the hall is going to appear at the time of the reception. How many tables will there be? What kind of chairs are being used? How large is the dance area? Where will the head table be located? These are the types of questions that must be answered before a design theme can be planned. The key elements to the design theme are centerpieces and flowers. The centerpiece and the table top decorations are the key areas of advancing the theme of the design. One good idea is to consider the season. If a wedding is in spring, a more normal design of bright and colorful flowers would be fine, but a fall wedding might feature a design theme more suited to autumn. A winter wedding can use a winter theme. One good centerpiece idea is a floating rose display. You can make it easily by starting with any large clear glass container filled with water. Add some pink or red floating candles to the water and sprinkle artificial rose petals into the water and around the table top. The artificial rose petals can be purchased from wedding supply stores or candle shops. They are made of acetate, a silk like material. The sky is the limit for centerpiece design. The other important element of the reception design is the floral arrangements. It is generally recommended that the actual placement and removal of floral arrangements be left to professional florists. It is not that you will be unable to create the arrangement that best expresses your design scheme, but rather that you are going to be very busy elsewhere on the wedding day itself. Once again, the decorating theme should match the hall. Large and tall arrangements work best in large halls. They fill space and also make a bold statement. Flowers can be part of the centerpiece design, and there are limitless ways to express a design theme with them It is a good idea to place an empty vase with water at each bridesmaid table for her bouquet. This not only preserves them, but they then become part of the table design. Offers large quantities of banquet chairs,church chairs, and tables Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Amy_Nutt http://EzineArticles.com/?Design-Ideas-for-Your-Wedding-Reception&id=451895 cheap phentermine pills buy phentermine online by cod phentermine online no prescription needed rx pharmacy phentermine
