How do you choose the best women’s reading glasses for face shapes other than round or oval? It is helpful to know some tips that can come handy when you shop online for readers that you cannot try on. Forum sites offer valuable information, so don’t skip those. Read on for more tips culled from experiences of people who are constantly wearing glasses.

Tips for Different Face Shapes

Think how lucky some women are to have love written across their faces!

Heart-shaped faces always look great with the right eyeglasses on; however, it is not always easy to find a suitable pair for a face that has a broad forehead and a narrow chin.

If you have this face shape, go for rimless readers as these “minimize” the prominence of your forehead. To create an illusion of a wider chin, women’s reading glasses with frames that are wider at the base are the best.

On the other hand, a square face has prominent jaw lines and cheekbones, thus you should choose frames that will “soften” the look of this face shape. Most women would look gorgeous on narrow frames. If they opt for round frames instead of the narrow ones for variation, they should choose a pair with softer edges.

A diamond face shape has a striking effect since it is not a common. The one who has it should look for oval frames.

Rule of Thumb

When choosing reading glasses suitable for your face shape, the rule of thumb is to create contrast. A good example of ill-advised fashion statement is wearing big, round frames on an equally round face.

Also, pay attention to the color of your reading glasses. Colors create an illusion on the face; wearing the wrong color can alter your looks, even your age. When choosing the right color for your women’s reading glasses, go complimentary. Avoid contrast.

Use your skin tone as basis of your choice. Your complexion has a lot to say about your choice of the best color that can boost your appearance, or knock it off.

Warm or Cool

Go for natural colors, such as Tan or Brown if you have warm complexion (skin has yellowish skin base), and go for deep colors, such as dark blue, deep red or deep pink, when your skin base is cool (bluish or pinkish).

Erasmus Samuel A.O. Amukun was born on November 27th 1940 in Ngora in Kumi in Eastern Uganda. He is best known for his exploits as a collegiate and international sprinter and as a professional geologist. He represented Uganda at the British Empire Commonwealth Games, at the Olympic Games, and at the East and Central African Games. Amukun is also credited for having beaten Kenyan sprint legend and future Commonwealth Games (1962, Perth) double-sprint gold-medallist Seraphino Antao in a race.

In 1958, at the Commonwealth Games in Cardiff in Wales (July 17-26, 1958), teenager Amukun did not advance beyond the fifth of twelve preliminary heats in the 100 yards sprint. In the heat 5 he finished in 9.9 seconds, in fourth place. But his team-mate Benjamin Kiyini Nduga, who had finished ahead of Antao, qualified for and moved on to the semi-finals in which he would be eliminated. In the 220 yards, Amukun was second in the eighth (22.14) of nine heats of the preliminary round. Later, in the fourth of six heats of the quarter-final round for which he had qualified, he was eliminated after finishing third in 22.1. But in the 4×100 yards, the Uganda relay team which Amukun was part of, finished sixth in the finals (42.1). Also on the Uganda relay team were Ben Nduga, Ignatius Okello, and S. Bwowe. They had moved on to the finals after finishing in third place (42,47) in the first round which was a semi-final.

Amukun, aged 19, was the captain of the Uganda team at the 1960 Olympics in Rome. In the young Uganda team, Amukun was the youngest, and 21 year-old Aggrey Awori was the oldest.

On August 31st 1960, Erasmus Amukun competed in the fourth of nine heats in the first round series of the 100m in which the fastest three in each heat would move on to the next round–the quarter-finals. He finished third in 10.80, qualifying for the next round. Notably, in this first round, fellow Ugandan 21 year-old Aggrey Awori (Awoori) who competed in the third heat was eliminated after finishing fifth (11.09). Kenyan Seraphino Antao (10.64) comfortably finished first in the first heat of this preliminary round and thus moved on to the quarter-finals.

In the quarter-finals held later in the day, Amukun was placed to run in the third of the four heats. He would finish fourth (10.75), and become eliminated since he was not among the top three finishers in the heat. But this would be the fastest he would ever officially run in the 100m. Antao finished third in the fourth heat (10.61) and moved on to the semi-finals. On September 1st Antao finished sixth (10.72) in the second of two semi-final heats, and become ineligible for the finals.

The 200m competition was started on September 2nd, and Amukun was placed in the fifth heat of the dozen heats of the first round in which the top two finishers of each heat would move on to the quarter-final round. Amukun finished second (21.38) and moved on to the quarter-finals. This would officially be his life-time best in the 200m. Meanwhile, Antao won in the eleventh heat (21.44), easily making it to the next round.

In the 200m quarter-finals held later that day, Amukun was placed in the first of four heats. He finished fourth (21.47) and was eliminated from advancing to the semi-finals since he was not among the top three finishers in the heat. Also coming in fourth, but in the second heat of the quarter finals was Seraphino Antao (21.43) who was also eliminated.

Uganda also competed in the 4x100m relay scheduled for September 7th 1960. There were four heats in the first round, and Uganda finished in fifth in 41.90, but had already been disqualified. In some of the other heats, Poland and France were also disqualified. The Uganda relay team had also included Aggrey Awori, Jean Baptiste Okello, and Gadi Ado.

In 1961 at the East and Central African Championships at the venue Nakuru in Kenya, Erasmus Amukun had won in the 440 yards in 48.0 seconds. Samuel Amukun was also part of the Uganda 4×100 yards relay team that won in 43.1 in Nakuru.

Near the end of 1961, Amukun successfully completed the 2-year Cambridge Advanced Secondary School Certificate, majoring in the sciences, at King’s College Budo (Buddo) near Kampala where he resided in Mutesa House.

Sam Amukun competed in the annual IC4A (or ICAAAA, (Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America) which is a men’s competition held at different colleges every year. Amukun was then an undergraduate student at Colgate University in Hamilton in New York. At the IC4A in Villanova in Pennsylvania in 1964 at the end of May, Amukun won in the 100 yards in 9.7. It was a photo-finish with Villanova University’s Earl Horner, and it was decided that Amukun with his chest forward on the tape had won (Green 1964: 5).

At the summer Olympics held in Tokyo in 1964, 23 year-old Amukun would represent Uganda in the 200m, and in the 4x100m relay. Placed in the second heat of eight heats of the preliminary rounds, Amukun finished fifth (21.55) on October 16th and was eliminated since he was not among the top four finishers in the heat. Kenyan Antao advanced to the quarter-final heats after finishing second in the third heat (21.52). Antao would, in the quarter-finals, later be eliminated.

On October 20th, the 4x100m Uganda relay team consisting of Awori, Amukun, James Odongo, and Amos Omolo finished sixth (41.4) in the third of the three first-round heats; so the team did not advance to the semi-finals.

Revenge was sweet at the annual IC4A championships held in 1965 in Brunswick, New Jersey at the end of May. Here Horner of Villanova who had lost to Amukun of Colgate in the 100m in 1964, won in both short sprints, with Amukun finishing third in the 100 yards sprint. But earlier in the same year, at the beginning of May, the Ugandan Olympian had triumphed in both short sprints at the track meet whereby the Raiders of Colgate were pitted against Syracuse University (Orange) at the Archbold Stadium in Syracuse. Also, in mid-April at the Cornel University vs. Colgate meet, Amukun the meet record-holder was beaten into second place in both short sprints by Cornel’s Charles Blaugrund (9.9 in the 100 yards) second effort in the 100-yd. dash was enough to beat Colgate’s Sam Amukun, the meet record holder a favorite in the event. Amukun had covered the distance in 9.6 seconds the week before. In the 220 yard sprint, again Blaugrund (22.5) was followed by the Ugandan at the finishing line.

Just before Amukun died in 1998, aged 57, he was the exploration manager for Northwest Explorations, in Canada. Amukum obtained the bachelor of science degree in chemistry at Colgate in 1966 while on track-and-field scholarship. He would acquire the master’s degree in geology at the University of Manitoba in 1969. The title of his master’s thesis is: “Petrography of the Gold-Bearing Vein Rocks from Bissett Area, Southeastern Manitoba.”

Amukun returned to Uganda to work at the Kilembe mine of Falconbridge but fled to Canada with his wife in 1972 given the insecurity and unease about the dictatorial military regime of Idi Amin.

After his death it was chronicled that after leaving Uganda, for 25 years, Amukun worked as a field geologist for the Ontario Geological Survey, Noranda and Urangesellschaft, and later started his consulting business. In 1996, he joined Northwest Explorations and became exploration manager for the company’s Guyanese projects. He was a member of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, and the Geological Association of Canada.

Samuel Erasmus Amukun compiled and authored extensively and his books include: “Precambrian Geology, Little Marshall Lake Area” (1989), “Geology of the Klob Lake Area, District of Thunder Bay” (1984), “Geology of the Willet Lake Area, District of Thunder Bay” (1979), “Geology of the Tashota Area, District of Thunder Bay” (1977), “Geology of the Gledhill Lake Area, District of Thunder Bay” (1980), “Geology of the Conglomerate Lake Area, District of Thunder Bay” (1980), and “Willet Lake, Thunder Bay District” (1979).

Amukun had been married to Daphne for 29 years, and he was also survived by daughter Nasheba and sons Settu and Mwenu.

No matter what medium handmade jewellery makers work in, nearly all will use wire at some point – it’s fundamental to jewellery making. And whilst most jewellery makers will start out buying wire from the manufacturer, many form their own wire in custom shapes, sizes, and harnesses. With some simple tools and a little know how, it’s easier than you may think.

Shapes and Sizes of Wire

You can order wire from a manufacturer in standard shapes – square, round, half-round, triangle and rectangle – and those shapes come in many sizes. Standard round and square wire sizes range from 0.5mm to 7mm. Rectangular wire, which is often called sizing stock, because bench jewellers use it to size rings, is available in almost any measurement. You can order wire in specific dimensions if you buy directly from the manufacturer.

Other shapes such as half-round, low dome, oval, triangle, bezel and strip-bezel, may be limited to specific standard sizes, depending on the manufacturer’s equipment. Nonstandard wire sizes are available from most manufacturers by special order.

How Wire is Made

Wire begins as molten metal that is poured into an ingot mould and allowed to cool and solidify. In small-scale production a goldsmith repeatedly passes the ingot through grooved rollers of a rolling mill, forming square wire. With each pass the wire becomes smaller and longer. This process, called extrusion, is possible because of the metal’s ductility.

Once the ingot has been milled into wire of a manageable size, the goldsmith reduces it further using a drawplate. In the case of square wire the drawplate also makes the wire perfectly square, because the grooves in the rolling mill will have slightly faceted the wires corners.

Standard drawplates for handmade jewellery are steel and have a series of holes in graduating sizes. The holes have different profiles which can transform a wire’s shape while making it smaller and longer. For example, you can pull square wire through a round hole to make round wire.

To draw large diameter wire, a goldsmith uses a draw bench. The draw bench is a channel of steel or aluminum with a notch for a drawplate at one end and a boat winch at the other end. The boat winch provides leverage to make the process easier. Turning the winch handle turns a belt or chain attached to draw tongues which slide along the channel, pulling the wire through the drawplate. A typical draw bench makes only short lengths of wire, usually about 30-40 inches.

The basics for a stainless steel railing system are posts (either square or round), top rail, and infill. Common infill options are stainless steel cable, variations of glass, or stainless steel bars. Other necessities include base covers for the posts, post mounted hand rail brackets for mounting top rails, and end caps or wall returns for the top rails.

Stainless steel railings are available in many shapes and sizes. The most common designs are square and round. While each style provides a modern twist they each offer their own individual characteristics. Square tubes are typically known as a very contemporary design, while round tubes are considered for a wider selection of applications.

A unique design can be achieved by paring a round post with a square top rail and vice versa. Mixing and matching post and top rail combinations coupled with various infill options provides consumers with a wide variety of choices when choosing a stainless steel railing system for their home, office, or business.

Glass infill is a great option for maintaining a seamless look on an outdoor deck, balcony, or overlook. Glass railing will create an invisible barrier that won’t obscure a phenomenal view. Glass is available in many different shades, thicknesses, and even patterns. Glass and stainless steel railings do not require a top rail but it is possible to mount one with post mounted handrail brackets. A top rail on a glass railing system frames the glass panels and offers a nice finished look.

Glass panels can often be expensive depending on which type of glass is used. A more cost effective option is cable or wire infill. Cable systems are very easy to install and need little attention over time. After the initial installation the cables may need to be re-tensioned after they have had time to settle. Beyond a quick re-tensioning they are very care free. Whereas glass panels require regular cleaning in order to maintain the seamless clear view.

Another option is the bar system railing. The bar systems offer a very unique aesthetic. The bars can only be used with square posts because the fittings required to mount the bars are square and flat. Because of the requisite square posts the bar system is a very contemporary design that is suited to very specific buildings and layouts. A round top rail may be added for a contrasting design.

Stainless steel railing is a great application for exterior surfaces as well. There are two grades of stainless that are commonly used in stainless steel railing, 304 and 316. 316 stainless has a higher corrosion resistance ratting. Typically, 316 steel is recommended for any application that is within five miles of saltwater. 304 stainless is acceptable for all other exterior and indoor uses.

So you want to know more about bait in order to catch more fish? I am amazed at the kinds of questions I get asked about bait week in week out. Frankly 99 percent of all these questions are totally irrelevant when it comes to what most matters about how baits work best! I think that what has happened is that people are stuck in a mindset very misguidedly uses commercial readymade baits as their reference point of what baits are ideally like when in fact the best reference point is not that at all!

Now consider this fact; most readymade boilies are extruded or shaped by machine. Usually the description used is rolled. Funnily enough most of the more successful baits used these days (even zig rig artificial foam baits,) are not a smooth round shape at all. I hope this tells you something here about carp reference points. They are obviously less wary and more easily fooled by the erratic movement and rough texture of baits that are not made into uniform smooth surface shapes by machine.

For some years now bait shapes other than round have been offered as being superior, and by this I mean those barrel shapes and more cylindrical shapes. But these are regarded by just as much caution as other smooth rounded baits and why should they not be when carp get to experience them and practice avoiding them 24 hours a day year in year out?

So here is an example of another round bait that is not exactly optimised for success. A new readymade boilie bait made using anchovy and tuna, with added green lipped mussel extract has been advertised in the glossy magazines, and is advertised as being designed by a famous bait designer. It even states on the advert that the dark green colour represents a natural food source and yes they are green but so what? The fact is that these are the so very familiar smooth surfaced round baits with an all too familiar density and consistency and lack of optimised solubility so ultra common in readymade baits!

I do not like round baits and I prefer to avoid using such readymade baits even when made by the companies I am a consultant for; that is how anti-productive I know rounded baits really are! You might think looking at all the pictures in magazines that they are brilliant, but that is because millions of anglers are producing those pictures and you are missing the bigger picture that round baits are crap. They really have had their day when it comes to wary fish, and most big old fish we want to catch are wary by now!

The carp bait industry like the rest of the fishing industry is simply a machine orientated to harness the herding mentality humans most often express; that is where the most profits are. So that is why the best baits ever marketed have been failures, simply because often they were not popular for some reason, maybe because they did not fit the mindset of what a bait should be like, or maybe added to this that they were not easy or simple to utilize as preparation or mixing is technical. Never the less, the best carp baits have been commercial failures.

If you want the most effective carp baits you have to make them yourself in order to optimise all the aspects of maximised most potent bioactive, very active concentrated leakage of additives, ingredients, various addictive factors and enhancing and activating substances etc into solution which is an absolute must! Such baits are not straight forward to use, take a lot more effort to refine and prepare and loads of care to fish with correctly, yet with practice all this becomes easier and easier, and the fish have no chance when they experience them!

One of the biggest problems with very familiar rounded commercial baits is they are so familiar and so easy for carp to avoid after years of repetitive practice no matter what recipes are employed! I can tell you about a video clip of a wary 60 pound plus mirror actually fanning away such specifically round familiar baits to get at the irregular baits between them! I say forget rolling tables and round baits. No-one needs them! We can all deliver baits over 200 meters away with accuracy using an array of means without any requirements of baits of any rounded or barrel shape at all! Why keep using a bait characteristic that is actually a proven barrier to catching wary fish?

Part of the problem of perception of bait is that so many anglers think bait is high quality when they have little idea of the full meaning of this phrase. Bait is really about potency to activate bait-induced behaviours within fish, but 99 percent of readymade bait just does not do this to truly optimised levels of potential fish response because commercial baits are a compromise for profit. This is also because truly optimised baits are not easy to fish with as they are so soluble, and most anglers are so fear-ridden they prefer to fish with a very under-optimised bait i.e. one that will still be an intact ball leaching very little after 8 hours after initial immersion compared to a truly optimised bait!

You might consider that such claims are extreme or abnormal. They are simply the direct result of testing and assessing a massive diversity of readymade and homemade baits and their components and characteristics and modes of operation and interactions with water, fish senses, fish physiology and bait-induced behaviours etc, for the past 6 years, and writing about such findings full-time!

I might add that among the most nutritionally stimulating most potently healthy foods fish and humans consume are foods and substances that have been fermented. Even probably the most used natural flavour in the world is a fermented bean namely vanilla. Geraniol and other monoterpenes used in carp fishing are predominantly found in the essential oils of fruits and herbs.

Examples of the terpenes geraniol, limonene and menthol show you from that they are linked closely with plants. Most terpenes were found originally in plants. Having spent decades as a professionally trained commercial horticulturalist and plant grower, naturally I took especial interest in such potent substances as I was handling plants all the time and experiencing their aromas and odours and sensations of their oils when contacting my skin, and different ones created different sensations, even mood altering ones! (Of course altering mood is a keystone of the most potent carp baits work!)

Terpenes also come from bergamot and rose for example and each has been applied successfully to fishing baits, but there is so much more to be exploited by the homemade bit maker that no commercial bait maker is using!

The terpene called vanillin was first isolated from vanilla. It has a very distinct sweet odour and is often used on its own as a vanilla flavour. The forms of vanilla extracts and flavours you get from supermarkets are all terribly watered down versions usually mixed with alcohol and water and not worth the price. One easy suggestion to naturally flavour your baits of any kind with vanillin is to use vanilla extract powder, which is a mixture of sweet meals and fine ground vanilla pod. As a consultant for CC Moore I know this great product really works so do exploit it!

If you find it difficult to find readymade baits in shapes other than rounded then make your own! Bait companies pump out rolled baits simply because it is profitable and punters have a brain-washed round bait mindset that is simply based on nothing that is relevant any more in today’s very pressured fishing environment! (It is called subliminal conditioning to splash carp magazines and other advertising with constant images of rounded baits!)

In fact when it comes to making non-rounded baits homemade baits it means hours of labour are dismissed instantly and baits are made in just minutes as no extruding and no rolling is involved! For all of you that really get it by now and are not still hypnotized by images of pretty perfectly round pop up baits sitting on a rig in a tank, I expect you now want to know what to do to avoid being a round bait sheep – and really improve your catches!

The Winchester 30-30 has been around for over a century and it’s still the most popular deer cartridge in the U.S. Why is it after all these years the best seller, especially with all the modern, flat shooting cartridges available to hunters today?

Here are a few reasons for the popularity of the little “Thutty Thutty”.

For one thing, the rifles that are chambered for the 30-30 are inexpensive when compared to other rifles chambered for other rounds. It’s not uncommon to find a Model 94 Winchester or Marlin 336 in good shape at a Pawn Shop for under $200. These guns are capable of producing acceptable accuracy for deer hunting out to 100 yards or more with a little practice.

Ammo for the 30-30 is generally a few bucks (no pun intended) cheaper than other ammo as well.

The light recoil of rifles chambered for the 30-30 Winchester make them desirable for new Hunters, Women and those who only shoot a rifle a few times a year not to mention those Hunters that are sensitive to recoil.

Finally, the round itself is a solid round. I think it’s safe to say the 30-30 Winchester has probably taken everything that walks North America.

The 150 and 170 Grain bullets carry enough punch to do a Deer in at ranges out to around 200 yards. Personally, if I knew there would be a chance of a shot like that, I’d use the 170 grain bullet or the new Hornady LeveRevolution.

Speaking of the new Hornady LeveRevolution’s, I’ve never used these rounds. But from what I’m gathering from Hunters in the fields and on the message boards, these rounds are everything they have been touted to be. Flat shooting and hard hitting.

For those of you who have not heard about the LeveRevolution, they are a polymer spire pointed bullet designed to be used in tubular magazines. The tip is soft and collapses. Hornady and a few Gun Writers have been reporting exceptional accuracy out to 250 yards with these new rounds.

I would never classify the Thutty Thutty as an Elk or Grizzly Bear round, but they have fallen to the 30-30. I’ve read stories about some Black Bear guides in Canada who prefer the 30-30 over a shotgun because of the quick handling characteristics and short range stopping energy of the 170 grain bullet.

Hunters using the Winchester 30-30 have several choices when it comes to ammo.

Remington offers the 125 grain Accelerator and most ammo manufacturers offer both the 150 and 170 grain factory loads. I’ve always preferred the 170 grain offerings over the 150 grainers. Don’t ask me why, I just prefer the heavier bullet. The LeveRevolution comes in a 160 grain spire tip.

For several years, I used the Remington 170 grain hollow points. These were deadly Deer takers! I stopped using them when I shot a large 8 point at about 80 yards. I later found the fragmented bullet on the far front leg, a few inches above the elbow, where it had broken the bone. I wasn’t crazy about finding pieces of my bullet even if it had went through the buck and busted his leg on the far side. I went back to the 170 grain soft nosed bullets.

Many so called Professional Gun Writers over the years have put down the little Thutty Thutty, saying things like it wasn’t adequate out past 75 yards, that it wasn’t accurate enough for deer hunting, etc. It was obvious that they had never shot a 30-30 or had just borrowed one in order to write an article.

I have a theory of why blunt tipped bullets in rounds like the 30-30 Winchester kill deer better than what many Gun Writers would like.

I believe that a blunt tipped bullet, be it a round nose or flat nose, delivers more of its kinetic energy upon impact than spire tipped bullets. Even the poly tipped bullets have to penetrate a certain depth before the start expanding and delivering their load of kinetic energy. Truth be known, many of spire pointed bullets use up the majority of their kinetic energy in the dirt on the other side of the animal.

Blunt tipped bullets are also known to penetrate deep. Couple this with the shock due to the sudden impact of a blunt tipped bullet and you have a recipe for a quick kill on a game animal.

Whether you contemplating buying a rifle for a first time hunter, or buying a rifle for yourself, don’t count out the Winchester 30-30 and the Rifles it is chambered for. They’re perfect for the first time hunter or the Old Fart who just wants a lighter hunting rifle. Put a quality scope on the top of the rifle and you’ll have a life long rifle that will bring home the Venison if the shooter does their job!

The soccer tournament is for players under the age of 20 and this year it is scheduled to be held in Rwanda from 18 January to 1 February 2009.

The 8 participating teams this year include Mali, Cameroon, Ghana and Rwanda forming Group A and South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt and Cote d’Ivoire forming Group B.These players were selected after the Preliminary Round first leg matches held from 18 April to 20 April 2008, and the Second Round second legs matches from 2 May to 4 May 2008, followed by First Round first leg matches held from 27 June to 29 June 2008, First Round second leg matches held from 11 July to 13 July 2009, and the Second Round first leg matches held from 26 September to 28 September 2008 and Second Round second legs matches from 11 October to 13 October.

The top two sides from each pool will advance to the semifinals, which will choose these four nations to qualify for the Under-20 FIFA World Cup, which will take place in Egypt in September 2009. If hosts Egypt reach the top 4 teams, then the team on 5th place will qualify for the Under-20 World Cup as the Egyptians naturally qualify to be part of the World Cup.

So far, Nigeria is in the lead, with an aggregate store of 7 against Sudan, which has an aggregate score of 2. Nigeria is listed as No. 1 on the Continental Rank with 5 winnings in the African Youth Championship. Second in line is Ghana with a continental rank of 2 in Africa National U20 soccer teams, out of the 20 teams participating in Africa National U20 Football teams. Ghana has also won African Youth Championship 2 times before, in 1993 and 1999. Next are Gambia, Mali and Congo, with continental ranks of 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Egypt, Zambia and Cameroon follow them next. Cote d’Ivoire is also a strong contender with an aggregate score of 5 but this competition for the qualification for the World Youth Championship will surely be a tough one.

The African Youth Championship started way back in 1979 and included teams / players like Algeria, Guinea, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Egypt, Libya, Kenya, Morocco, Mauritius, Cameroon and Tunisia. The teams played to qualify for the FIFA Under-20 World Cup as well. 2007 African Youth Championship saw Congo as the final champion against Nigeria, beating them by 1-0. This year’s host (Rwanda) will have to fight like last years host (Congo) to win the title for themselves.

With less than a month to go for the African Youth Championship to be help in Rwanda, the excitement has already started building among thousands of soccer fans in Rwanda and worldwide.

There are two big competitors in the race to dominate the health and wellness sector on the internet – namely through nutritional drinks and shakes. Herbalife and Visalus are compete head to head with two of their most popular products: meal replacement shakes.

For network marketers who are just entering a booming health and wellness industry, it can be tough to choose which company may be best able to assist you in creating wealth with your home-based business. It’s not an easy decision. This is a small review of how the two companies’ flagship products compare, and how you can decide which opportunity is right for you.

Round 1 – Price of Herbalife Vs Visalus

Herbalife beats out Visuals in the first round. While Visalus’ flagship product, Body by Vi (meal replacement shakes) cost $59 for a supply of 30 servings, Herbalife’s flagship, Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix, costs only $34 for the same amount.

Round 2 – Nutritional Value of Herbalife Vs Visalus

Herbalife wins in this round too – while both companies provide high-quality products, Herbalife contains 19 extra ingredients that are said to optimize health, including herbs that act as antioxidants, fiber supplements, and protein supplements.

Round 3 -Taste Challenge

While it’s all relative, Herbalife offers more taste options, like Cookies ‘n Cream, Cafe Latte, and Tropical Fruit. But Visalus offers a “blank canvas” of Sweet Cream, that allows the user to add in their own flavor mix-ins that can be purchased by Visalus. This might mean extra revenue for the Visalus representative with the “upsell.”

Final Round – Success Rates of Independent Representatives – Herbalife Vs. Visalus

While this is still undetermined, the truth is that both products are worth joining if you are someone interested in becoming a network marketer. The health and wellness industry is booming, and it turns out that sales revolve less around the actual products. Results are greatly dependent on the individual associate or representative. Most products in these lines consist of similarly-priced products that provide the same benefits.

So the biggest question isn’t which company to choose as you enter network marketing, but how to market your products to both new recruits and new customers.

Marketing is a skill that can easily be learned with the right teacher. It’s important to seek out quality advice from experts on the subject – those who have succeeded before you. With the right materials, anyone can learn to become a successful network marketer in companies like Herbalife and Visalus.

The 1890’s was an exciting period for rifle development as smokeless powder was being perfected and it was being taken advantage by the civilian market. The very first few years since being introduced in 1886 by France, the military was the primary benefactor of the new propellant. It produced higher velocities which enabled the users to make smaller rounds with more range. That would enable a soldier to carry more ammo. As a note the 303 Savage is frequently confused with the larger 303 British. I have seen it on several occasions. While the Savage round will fit the larger 303 British gun it isn’t a good idea to shoot it that way.

One of the earlier rounds was the 303 Savage which was considered for the military but not adopted by them as they chose the 30-40 Krag. Anyway the Savage Arms Company saw that Winchester was making and selling 30-30 rifles like hotcakes. They knew a good thing when they saw it so they came out with the model 99 lever action rifles and one of the more popular chamberings was the 303. The model 99 rifle is a very well made and strong rifle that was somewhat ahead of it’s time. It has some advantages over the model 94 Winchester including the ability to use spitzer bullets. Competition, then, as now was stiff among the various gun makers and the Savage offering was definitely as good as anything out there. There have been several million 99’s made, in many calibers, so they must have done something right. The 303 Savage is a great deer and black bear round for hunting in the woods. It has been used for several generations as a moderate range hunting rifle.

The round resembles the 30-30 but is shorter and a bit larger in diameter. In power it is a virtual twin to the more successful Winchester offering though it was popular for awhile. It was produced from 1895 through the start of WWII. After the war ended Savage no longer chambered rifles for it and no other maker ever made a rifle in the 303 chambering. Another cartridge that suffered the same fate was the 30 Remington, another good hunting round, but that’s another story.

The model 99 is still available in many calibers, some quite modern, and if you look around a bit the 303 can still be found. If you have one then you will either have to hand-load your ammo or have someone do it as factory ammo is no longer made. Occasionally you might find a factory box of ammo but don’t count on it. The major problem with ammo is the cases. Norma sometimes has them but most of the time they have to be formed from another cases. The only two that make sense is the 30-40 Krag or the 303 British. Once cases are obtained then ammo can be made without a problem. You can use 30-30 bullets and loading data with good results. If you want to hunt with this relic it is good for deer hunting at moderate ranges.
