Baby RB: The decision

Yesterday was the decision in the case of Baby RB where the father excepted that it would be better to withdraw the life supported machines and allow the baby a 'peaceful, calm and dignified death'. He only agreed with them because he realized that every possible medical avenue were full explored. A good reason for the High Court was that the future of the Baby would not be full of quality because of the breathing disability. Mr Justice McFalarne said :
"One [option] is for his time on the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit to end in a planned way, with the administration of a large dose of sedative, the removal of the ventilation tube and his consequent death. The other is to contemplate his discharge from hospital on home ventilation after a tracheotomy."

SO IS THAT REALLY THE RIGHT DECISION??? MAYBE IN A FEW YEARS THERE IS SOMETHING DISCOVERED WHAT MAKE THE LIFE OF THE BABY BETTER!!! HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT DECISION??? HOW CAN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE A DECISION LIKE THIS??? POST YOUR COMMENT!!!

Baby RB: life or die?

The father from Baby RB is fighting against the mother and the hospital for turning off the life support machines. The mother said to the Sun that it is cruel to keep the baby alive. She wants to save him living a poor, miserable and sad life. The baby doesn't really have a life quality. The baby has since his birth, a year ago, a seldom congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) which means that he can't breath independently and can't move his fingers. The father has another opinion about that. He thinks that Baby RB has a good chance to have a good life quality like the other 300 cases which are listed in the UK. The fight went to the High Court where they want to render the judgement. There is no decision yet...

Million Dollar Experiment 2.

Steve Pavlinas experiment is going to start now but he doesn't want to wait 50 years by investing $100/month. In his opinion by using the intention-manifestation model it will be more faster. This is Steve's biggest project ever for that reason he has no idea how to manage it and he doesn't have a plan yet. ''I’m just going to choose to believe that it will manifest, and I’ll allow the intention to sink into my subconscious for a while and see what comes of it.''

Pavlina choosed the same template as he did with the polyphasic sleep experiment (which i am going to explain in the next posts). Actually Steve doesn't really need to earn a million dollar! his main objective is ''to develop a better understanding of the power of intention'' he thought it would be an interesting and funny test which all readers of his blog can easily follow and watch the result. Because there is no really disadvantage on this project he really want to start it. Even if he is failing he doesn't lose anything he only learn a lot. Added to this he wants to share his thoughts, results and almost everything during the experiment with all blog readers so they can do the same if they are not bothered. What he doesn't want to share certainly are private datas like ''a signed non-disclosure agreement with a third-party''.

In the next post i will write a short summary of the whole process of the experiment with some details...

Million Dollar Experiment

Steve Pavlina (http://www.stevepavlina.com/) is the owner of several businesses. He and his wife are living in the USA a comfortable life and get a six number income every year. These incomes includes 10 different streams from different businesses, most of them are based in the internet. So they are in a very secure financial situation. Steves website is a quite serious page because he is honest. He doesn't write how to become rich or a millionaire, he only wrote down what he did.

One of the most difficult ways to make money is to have a job where you earn a salary! The reason for that is that you use so much time to get your cash which you spend anyway. Steve Pavlina worked only 6 months as an employee until he figured out that this wasn't something for him. After quitting his job he decided to get money from his own business. So he did! After a few years he setted up a system which provided him an income without directly working for the money. Now he has the free time he wished to have.

The $1 Million Dollar Project is an experiment which Steve started to see if he can attract a large sum of money into his life. He want to the intention-manefestation model to make it more fun and challenging. 'This means I’ll allow myself to be guided by intuition as opposed to rigidly planning out every detail'. Added to this he is not going to spend his existing money, he wants to spend only the money which he gets by running that experiment. So his experiment starts with $ 0 and should end with $1000000. Steves intention: In an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way, in its own perfect time, for the highest good of all, I intend $1 million to come into my life.

Trackback

Trackback is a really useful product for a blogger who want to request a notification when somebody links to their product. The function of Trackbase is actually really simple: The receiving website gets a ping (a network signal) from the originating website. The recipient publishes a link back to the original site for 'indicating its worthiness'. For this kind of communication both websites have to be 'Trackback enable'. This communication is often used between blogs when anybody is refering to an article from another blog then this user can see that he uses his article. Products which are linked to the original blog are easily to follow and it is a good partnership between the bloggers.

Alborz Fallah 2.

Alborz Fallah started his blog without the attitude of making money. But he was the meaning why not to earn a little bit of money so after a while he earned lots of pounds. He wrote three blogs with the different themes: Cars, outgoing and tech the reason is simple: Because he loved cars, he loved out going and he was a little tech geek. Added to this he is very interested in the comments which people give on his posts even if they are negative.

Moreover, he liked to manage his blog, to write the articles, to discover how Adsense, Web Master Tools and SEO. Everybody is likely to type in the car name plus the date or the other way round. The way big publisher would do it is to type in the car name plus a random name like 'Porsche rules the world' but nobody would type that into Google. When you are going to search a car you will probably type in the name, the model, the date and at the end the review. That is how people find the website from Alborz Fallah. Another criterion is that he writes his post by his own, he didn't use copy and paste that is why his content is so interesting.

He showed this site some friends, they showed it other friends and so was it going. After a while other car blogs where interested in his website because they published the news two days earlier than the other guys because they had to send their text to the editor and back. Al indeed some spelling mistakes and some grammar mistakes but they fixed them after a while. It is pretty cool how they are managing that they are 2 days earlier than the other magazines thereby it is so simple. Al saw the companies putting the news out and one hour later the news were written down at his blog with his own words and his opinion.

After his first meeting with Anthony Crawford the Channel 10 guy, Alborz decided to sell him equity. He made his blog into his own company called Caradvice.com.au Propriety Limited. Now he has different people in different places like Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne. He has two guys who are working on the blog with the news and three road tester who are testing cars. Al is now one of the road testers. He gets 2 cars a week and he writes the review of the cars.

After using Adsense Al started to ask some advertising agencys if they want to have a partnership. The only problem was they wanted him to do advertising for the companies. But Al said clearly no because it was part of his credibility to write what he is thinking about the product. Alborz' plan for the future is to buy camera stuff for video blogging. He wants to film the cars and put the video on youtube.
