Any starting out company should have a mission and vision statement. This statement may not be the present concern of the proprietor but failing to formulate one will definitely give your future clients a general idea of where your company is heading.

What is its importance? Have you heard the adage: “You won’t know how to reach your destination if you don’t know how to get there?” This quotation is usually attributed to planning. But planning entails a specific set of goals and objectives. Without a properly delineated objective, one is at a lost on where his actions are leading to. The plan serves as your map, and your objectives or mission serves as your guiding light. The vision is what you want to reach, keeping yourself focus on the goals and plans of achieving that vision.

Did you know that your company mission statement says almost everything about your company that consumers don’t need to bother in reading your company profile? Let’s take for example the business of marketing and selling soy candles. Not all people may have heard about your product but any starting out company will be known by what their products contain and delivers with every consumer’s usage.

With the prevalent environmental pollution and wellness awareness being promoted worldwide, individuals are endeavored to use environmentally safe products thus promoting wellness. The environmental conservation enthusiasts will always look for ways on how to minimize their part in contributing to the total pollution the world is creating. Health and wellness consumers, like those that frequent the spa and saunas, will at one time appreciate the scent from the candles during their massage session. Naturally, they will inquire on its name and source. Where does your mission fits in and consequently your vision?

By stating in your mission or the goals of your company, let’s take for example: to promote environmental soundness and holistic wellness – you are stating in one simple sentence a company that is health-oriented and at the same time, responsible. Your product, as in this case, further confirms this mission statement. Consistent, right? As such, if in case your vision statement is to be the nation or world’s leading provider of aromatherapy equipments and supplies – that would not be a hazy dream after all, wouldn’t it?

Going back to that situation where the health spa client inquired on the source of the scented candles, the attendant and therapist may not have direct access to you as the supplier but they are given knowledge on what those candles contain. This is to affirm their company’s dedication for wellness, which means more consumers for your products. Rest assured though, that this is a strategy for these health clubs as part of their customer-come-back programs. More clients for their health and wellness clubs that enjoys their environmentally friendly scented candles also means more consumers for you as their favored supplier on such aspect. This means more income and profit for your company, thus, validating that your map and guiding light, which are symbolized by your mission and marketing plans, are the right combination for the successful attainment of your company’s vision.

And now, let me ask you, where are you heading?

Sigmund Freud’s priceless contribution was to help us understand the subconscious. He endured public ridicule in order to publish his ideas. Thanks to his pioneering work, it is now acceptable to write about sexuality. We all owe him credit. However, with all respect to Oxford Freudians, his statement that masturbation causes neurosis is incorrect. It is not the act of having masturbated, but the unwarranted guilt associated with it that can cause psychological problems.

First let’s clarify a term. In his writings, Freud calls masturbation “onanism”. This is in reference to Onan of Biblical times. Many people believe that the Bible says it is a sin to masturbate because in the Bible, in Genesis 38:8-10, a man named Onan married his brother’s childless widow because he was required by law to give her an inheritance through a progeny. But instead of getting her pregnant, Onan practiced the withdrawal method with her. The result was that God punished him by killing him.

8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.

Since Onan’s brother died without having children, Onan was supposed to marry the widow and get her pregnant. In ancient Hebrew society, wives could not inherit property, so if the widow was wealthy, she had to have a male descendant to inherit and take care of her. Generally people in those times wanted to keep the money in the family so she had to marry the eldest surviving brother.

Sometimes the widow was poor and had debts. In this case she was still required to marry her brother in law and he in turn had to pay her debts and divide his inheritance among his children and hers. This is called a redeemer in the Bible. Onan did not want to give the inheritance to his widow. So he had sex with her but did not get her pregnant. For this reason God punished him.

There is a healthy amount of disagreement about the meaning of these passages among Christians, who otherwise agree on issues of salvation. Some think that Onan was masturbating, but the passage says he had intercourse with her and withdrew at the last moment, spilling the semen. “He went into her” means intercourse, and “slew” means God killed Onan.

Some people believe that “spilling the seed”, that is spilling the semen, is a loss of a human life. On the basis of this argument, the Catholic Church teaches that sex is only for procreation and married couples should not use birth control. The problem with this is that couples have to abstain from sex, or have many more children than they planned. This is very stressful to a woman’s health and an emotional financial burden too big to bear for most people.

Freud wrote:

“Our present patient’s behavior in the mater of onanism was most remarkable. He did not indulge in it during puberty to any extent worth mentioning, and therefore, according to one set of views, he might have expected to be exempt from neurosis.” (Wedding & Corsini, 1979, p. 27).

Freud believed that masturbation always causes neurosis. He even expected that if a man had never masturbated, he would never get a neurosis. However he discovered that the patient in this case has a neurosis nevertheless. The patient did not masturbate as a child because he was punished, beaten, by his father for trying it (Wedding & Corsini, 1979, p. 28). Nevertheless, the patent had a neurosis.

Lets look at Freud’s world from a modern perspective first and then from the context of his time. Even today, many a man has not been given privacy when he was a teenager. Children today are still discouraged from masturbating by their parents and many do not allow their children to lock the door in their room. This causes boys to masturbate quickly in order to avoid getting caught. This practice over time leads to habitually coming quickly.

When the boy grows up and has sexual relations he realizes that he is a fast ejaculator at least in part from the habit of masturbating. So he associates this limitation to his sexual potential with masturbation. Another potential problem is habitually masturbating in the shower; a boy can get used to the feel on water over his genitals and eventually need to feel water to be exited to orgasm. This can happen if the only time he is allowed to lock the door is when he is bathing.

However, there are also some children who have more psychologically open minded parents that do not discourage masturbation and give their children privacy. In this case a boy is free to take his time; nevertheless he may lack knowledge about the purpose of masturbation and adult sexuality.

What is the purpose of masturbation within a Christian view today? For those Christians who believe masturbation is not a sin, its purpose is to give the boy a practice in learning how to have sex, and to help him keep chaste until marriage by satisfying himself with self stimulation. However, not many boys are told that women take a long time to reach orgasm through intercourse and the women need the husband to have an erection for a long time. So they may not take their time even if they are given privacy because they lack important information.

In our culture there is still lack of knowledge about sex. On the one hand, pictures of scantily dressed women and commercials with one man and several women pressure men to be super sexual. Boys are looked down upon by adults and abused by peers if they do not look masculine enough. But little is told to boys about women’s sexual needs. This is unfortunate, because the greatest sexual satisfaction a man can have is to give pleasure to his wife.

That is not to say that married men should not masturbate. He may do so if his wife is unable to have sex due to sickness. Or the husband may simply want to control his own sexuality once in a while. But the most satisfying sexual pleasure a man can enjoy is to love the woman he sleeps with as if it was his own body, giving just as much importance to her pleasure as his (Ephesians 5:28-29).

Now let’s look at Freud’s time period in Vienna. Men were expected not to masturbate but it was acceptable by that society that a man goes to prostitute. That is the opposite of our time. Today prostitution is illegal in many countries and considered a sin to take part in. Then as now, having sex with a prostitute is a humiliating experience for men which lacks love, can endanger health, and costs extraordinary prices. As far as privacy during Freud’s time, there was little privacy and families with many children and they hardly ever had a room all to themselves. Boys were discouraged form masturbating and felt guilt by indulging in it.

Back to our example of the boy who was denied privacy as a boy, he may associate such guilt with masturbation, that when he becomes an adult he will discourage his son to masturbate and the cycle of self denial perpetuates itself. It is the guilt of having masturbated not the masturbation itself that can cause psychological problems but the man may not distinguish between the two and have unwarranted guilt.

Fantasying is associated with the accompanying act of masturbation. Many men have an emotional reason for believing that it is a sin to fantasize. Another possible source of guilt about masturbation may come from a particular misunderstanding of the Biblical passages Matthew 5:27-28:

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.'[e] But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.”

It does not say “if you THINK about a woman lustfully”; it says “if you LOOK at a woman lustfully”. For example, Kind David who watched Bathsheba take a bath instead of his own wife ended up committing adultery with her. Another example of looking lustfully in modern times is pornography.

Many people who are fundamentalists pride themselves on their literal reading of the Bible, such as the account of creation in Genesis and they believe literally all the miracles without interpreting the Bible. But when it comes to sex they do not read literally, they infer from the passage that it also means that you can not have sexual fantasies. However all people fantasize unless they were born without genes for sex hormones.

If we are going to infer from the passages we must look at the context in order to apply the meaning of the passage to our lives well. Jesus was talking about adultery. If a man is trying to make sly looks to a married woman and following her to see when she is alone so he can try to seduce her, he is guilty of adultery even if he finds her alone and she says, “No.”

The passage continues to say that if it your eye that causes you to sin, cut it out. The author of this article believes this was written for many men living in Afghanistan and some parts of India where the women are covered from head to toe with a little hole for the eyes. They can hardly breathe, many women can not afford the long tunic called a burka and become prisoners in their own homes. Yet if these men see the woman show a little bit of her ankle, they beat her. I can imagine how difficult it would be to walk with a long tunic that reaches over the ankles without tripping, especially if the woman has a limited range of vision.

If this is still a problem today, imagine what it was like in Biblical times. It is another case of looking a woman lustfully, reading a sexual impropriety that is not there. The Bible was written for all people. It has something to say to everyone. In all fairness Western culture is just as guilty of lust through pornography as Eastern cultures of mummifying live women.

Some people teach that fantasizing is bad because thought precedes action, and action follows thought. But this is true only in cases of people without self-control. A person, who is healthy, has self-control and will be able to think about something and not necessarily do it. For example, a person could feel tempted to steal something but not do it. Or a person could visualize themselves donating vasts amounts to money to the poor and never carry it out. Thinking is not the same as doing.

1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”

Jesus was tempted in everything.

Hebrews 4:15 “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are–yet was without sin”

Hebrews 2:17-18 “For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.”

Our high Priest is Jesus. That means he was tempted with every sin man could possible be tempted with and he did not sin. Therefore it is not a sin to be tempted.

We have shown how fantasizing is not bad in itself since you do not have to do what you think about. We have discussed how men may feel guilty about childhood masturbation because they were denied privacy and made a habit of rapid ejaculation to avoid getting caught. What about girls? Is it alright for girls to masturbate? Yes, girls who are discouraged from masturbation have a different but equally disturbing sexual limitation. Many women tell their daughters never to touch their genitals except when they wash. Some women even tell their daughters that her genitals are dirty without distinguishing between sin and healthy sexuality.

A girl needs to masturbate to learn how to have an orgasm and also to learn how to come more quickly. Women who do not masturbate do not learn to have an orgasm and may as much as the first ten years of married life in orgasmic. Some women never come in all their life.

The Answer to the Problem of Guilt

As far as men are concerned, it not the act of masturbation which can cause a neurosis, but the guilt associated with it. As a Christian author, my final word is that anything that a person may feel he has done wrong, whether it is unwarranted guilt as in the case of masturbation, or whether it is remorse for a sin such as prostitution, or whether it is just an honest mistake like punishing a child for masturbating, there is an answer to guilt in Jesus Christ.

Jesus is God’s son. He lived a sinless life and by his sacrifice on the cross he paid for all out sins and for our release from guilt. Those who believe that Jesus is their God and Savior receive forgiveness of their sins and errors. Believing in Jesus can bring great relief and peace; it also helps us to overcome sins.

To explain how Jesus frees us from sin and paid for our wrongdoing picture a person who has been kidnapped. The person is tied up and can not get loose even if he wants to. That is how sin is, we may want to stop sinning and feel able to stop. The kidnapper wants more money than the person can afford to pay. Only a sinless life has the great worth to pay for our sins. Jesus took our punishment upon him and he also frees us from sin. He paid the ransom for all of us by giving his own life by crucifixion so we can be free of the punishment of hell. By doing this, Jesus made it possible for us to have eternal life and unimaginably great happiness in Heaven.

Sin also separates us from God. It makes us feel guilty to pray and approach God. At times we may erroneously believe that because we have sinned, we can not pray and we are not worthy to go to church. But God always wants us to seek him by prayer and worship. He is available to clean us from sin by his sacrifice. All you have to do is to believe that Jesus is your Savior and confess your sin to God in repentance.

The King James Bible

We all know it takes pick up lines to get girls, but most guys fail at using them because they’re doing it all wrong. What you should be doing is making a “statement of intent.” This is all part of escalating sexual tension and laying the groundwork for sex later.

Statements of intent can have a number of different forms. There are direct ones, like telling her she’s sexy, you’re going to try to get into her pants, or you’d like to do this and that to her. There are also negations, like saying, “If there was nobody else here right now, I would bend you over right here.” Another one is: “You probably can’t imagine the things I’m thinking about doing with you.” The idea is to give her a clear sign that you’re sexually interested. You’re putting the sexual agenda on the table.

The idea is not to pressure her though. For example, don’t say, “You’ve got to have sex with me tonight or you’ll never hear from me again.” All you’re doing is letting her know how you feel about her. Laying it out like that changes the rules of the game and lets her know exactly what’s going on.

She actually knows what’s going on from the very beginning, but doing this is creating what I call “passive acceptance.” This is the idea that if you lay it out in the open and tell her after you’ve already laid the groundwork with comfort, attraction and qualification, she’s not going to say no.

You also have to do it in a way that doesn’t freak her out. This is why comfort is so important. Put it on the table explicitly, but not too explicitly. The whole point isn’t to describe to her each position that you’re going to do it in; it’s just to let her know that you think she’s hot and you’re interested in her in a sexual way.

Why don’t more guys do this? The reason is that we’ve all been taught that this is a game where we have to be coy about it. You have to come off like a nice guy and slip it to her stealthily. The only problem with this way of thinking is that it’s all wrong. The truth is that women are just as interested in sex as men. Actually approaching a woman without the sexual tension is what leads to the situation where you get last-minute rejection.

Try a few pick up lines to get girls in bed and see what works. The key to success is timing them right; don’t get hot and heavy right off the bat, but start building sexual tension and laying it on the table early enough in the game that you can escalate it and it won’t surprise her.

When thinking about the modern business person and their apparel, the bag they use to carry their daily work requirements is one of the first things that come to mind and for those who know, a Mont Blanc briefcase comes to mind as the premier option for any professional. These types of bags have come to the point of being known as one of the highest grade cases available on the market today. Anyone who wishes to be taken seriously in their line of work absolutely has to include a Mont Blanc briefcase as a part of their daily attire, appearance, and overall style.

Every bag created under this name is sure to be of the highest standard and quality. In fact, most people purchase their cases via a certified vendor of these products. This is outside of the norm compared to other similar products on the market. Add to that the extremely high quality, unique, Mont Blanc briefcase leather as well as the other fine details included with every single product and it becomes obvious why this has become known as one of the premier products of it’s type on the market today.

Every Mont Blanc briefcase is resistant to stains, water, scratches, and is designed for maximum durability during travel. Typically the bags also include palladium plated or another metal fittings as well as one of the most secure combination locks available. This provides the best possible security for portable bags such as these helping you keep all of your files, folders, and electronic devices as safe as possible.

A word of caution needs to be mentioned to help you avoid possible scams when looking at a Mont Blanc briefcase. Just as with any other high end, high dollar product on the market, there are also fakes on the market that are often being passed off to buyers as the real thing.

Many retailers, if they are selling a genuine Mont Blanc briefcase will give you the ability and time to check the serial numbers on the case to ensure it’s the real deal. In addition, with a little bit of time and energy you can very quickly find enough information to help you recognize a fake before you spend hundreds of dollars of your hard earned cash.

Its simple to be organized the trick is to stay that way effectively and efficiently.

If anyone can come in and take over what your are doing with little assistance your organized.

The term, an organized mess is really just a mess! Everyday there is something new to do or take care of. Do all the steps, that way you do not have steps or piles of things to go back to. Moving forward is what you want and need. Understand that being organized means, anyone who walks in your house or business can find anything that is needed to complete a task in a timely manor. Efficient organization is the key. The system you set up, needs to make since.

You must have a desire to be organized, think about others; you are not the only employee or family member using the space.

Keeping an open mind, only benefits you. A willingness to learn is a must. You should have the mind set that there is always a better way.

Make no excuses for disorganization, schedule a time to finish. I will get to it tomorrow should never cross your mind. Disorganization and piles happen because of excuses and not following through with every aspect of the job.

Last but not least, make smart decisions. You can not keep every thing or have every product out there. If you do not take your space and time issues in account when making a decision you can not be organized. If you can not do it yourself do not be afraid to ask for help.

Sometimes, one of the key pieces of evidence in your case is a hearsay statement. Maybe it’s an admission from the defendant or from the defendant’s agent. It might be testimony from another trial or hearing that squarely addresses an issue in your case. Whatever the situation, if you need to offer an out-of-court statement into evidence for the truth of the matter asserted in the statement itself, you have a problem on your hands.

But like getting a flat tire in the rain, it might not be in insurmountable problem. It is, however, a problem nonetheless, which means you need to plan your solution early enough to implement it. So when planning your case in chief, consider whether you might benefit from the spontaneous-statements hearsay exception. Let me give you an example.

The first case I ever tried to a jury was actually decided on a spontaneous statement of an unavailable hearsay declarant. I won that trial because I recognized my hearsay problem early enough to successfully implement my solution.

I was prosecuting a misdemeanor domestic-violence case. The defendant was a six foot five inch tall, 275 pound bruiser. The victim was his five foot tall, 90 pound wife. They were camping at the San Elijo Beach campground, and he cold-cocked her with a closed fist right cross straight to her eye socket, producing a conspicuous shiner.

The next morning, a park ranger came up to the couple. When he noticed the wife’s shiner, he asked her: “What happened?” Suddenly, she became visibly upset as though she were re-living the prior night’s events. Tears welled up in her eyes. Then, she pointed to her husband and dramatically blurted out: “He hit me!”

One of the social realities of trying domestic-violence cases is that the victims find themselves in a vicious conflict of interests. On the one hand, they want their abusers to be incarcerated so that they are free from the physical abuse. But on the other hand, they may be financially dependent on their abusers, and incarceration would therefore be extremely inconvenient for the household. They also fear retaliation. This leads to a phenomenon commonly known as “the recanting witness” or “the recalcitrant” or “absentee victim.”

Naturally, by the time the trial came around, the wife was “unavailable.” She ducked my subpoenas, slipped into the network of battered women and homeless shelters, and was gone. That meant that my star witness would be the park ranger who had to testify about what she said, which was plainly hearsay.

Enter the spontaneous statement – also known as the exited utterance.

Evidence Code §1240 states that a statement is not inadmissible hearsay if it “purports to narrate, describe, or explain an act, condition, or event perceived” and was made “spontaneously while the declarant was under the stress of excitement caused by such perception.”

Case law states that for the exception to apply, there must be (1) an occurrence sufficiently startling to produce “nervous excitement and render the utterance spontaneous and unreflecting;” (2) the utterance must have been made before there was time to “contrive and misrepresent,” i.e., while the nervous excitement still dominated the reflective powers; and (3) “the utterance must relate to the circumstances of the occurrence causing it.” People v. Poggi (1988) 45 Cal.3d 306, 318. The idea is that statements made in the heat of the moment are less likely to be false.

The admissibility of spontaneous statements is a matter within the discretion of the trial court. People v. Pearch (1991) 229 Cal.App. 3d 1282, 1290. Often, the main issue – as it was in my domestic-violence case – is a lapse in time between the event and the statement. But the key is that the statement must be made under the stress and excitement of the event “while the reflective powers were still in abeyance.” People v. Washington (1969) 71 Cal.2d 1170, 1176.

For example, the statements in Washington were made an hour after the event, but were nevertheless admissible. See also, People v. Raley (1992) 2 Cal.4th 870, 893 (18-hour gap in time); and In re Emilye A. (1992) 9 Cal.App.4th 1695, 1713 (2-day gap in time). However in one case, the court found that 13 hours between the startling event and the statement was too long for the exception to apply. Pearch, supra, 229 Cal.App.3d at 1290.

There is no bright-line rule about the timing of the event and the utterance. The distinction seems to be whether the declarant was still under the stress of the event. In my domestic-violence case, for example, the court was persuaded that the victim was under the stress of the battery because she welled up and seemed to be re-living the attack when she identified her husband as the attacker. He was also standing right behind her when the park ranger asked her “what happened?”

The spontaneous-utterance exception is not limited to verbal testimony. Affidavits or declarations can also contain hearsay made admissible by the exception. Mecchi v. Picchi (1966) 245 Cal.Ap.2d 470.

If you plan to introduce a spontaneous utterance at trial, be sure to have all necessary witnesses to lay your foundation. For example, be sure to call the person who heard the statement. Also, be sure to call the person who can testify as to the declarant’s state of mind, i.e., that the declarant was excited and under the stress of the event.

Finally, be sure to consider all other possible exceptions such as contemporaneous statements (Evid. Code §1241); statements relating to the infliction or threat of physical injury (Evid. Code §1370); statements by an elder or dependent-adult victim of abuse (Evid. Code §1380); admissions (Evid. Code §1220); dying declarations (Evid. Code §1242); statements of state of mind, emotion or physical sensation (Evid. Code §1250); declaration against interest (Evid. Code §1230); or prior inconsistent statements (Evid. Code §1235).

If you know that your case depends on a spontaneous statement – or any hearsay exception for that matter – plan early. Try to obtain your opponent’s stipulation as to admissibility, or else subpoena all foundational witnesses, request an Evidence Code §402 hearing and/or file motions in limine as necessary. Whatever the case, be proactive in getting your evidence admitted, especially if you can foresee an objection.

The dating site member will in most cases always simply retrieve unread e-mail, then usually log off. This is because a dating site member does not always have a variety of features to keep them involved in the community.

At SingleFling.com located at singlefling.com users stay much more active in the singles community. This is due to the fact that SingleFling.com has one of the most featured packed services to date. These features are enhanced for the end user to ensure both ease of navigation as well and to provide other useful conveniences.

The service itself is geared towards adult crowds over the age of 18. It has been called by ADULT Connections Network(TM) the “sexy singles network” due to it’s slightly racy push into the world of uncensored photo galleries and free adult chat rooms.

Registered members can easily instant message other users as well as invite other users from the chat rooms to member created private chat rooms. There is even more though to the free adult chat rooms. This is probably the best part of the he free adult chat rooms, they are also fully featured video chat rooms where members can easily watch video users upload to their profiles or stream live web cams.

As far as what makes SingleFling.com a social network rather than your average singles dating website, we begin with the features. Like many dating websites users can contact members via the websites messaging system.
