In the last several years, all the rage in the home business industry is the network marketing internet business. Often people who have been in this industry for a bit ask if MLM can really be an Internet Business? What ever happened to personal contact and trust in this industry? Is this the end of Network Marketing as we know it? I assure you, a network marketing internet business is not the end of MLM, but just an application of the latest technologies available. Performing business in this way has two distinct advantages over traditional network marketing. First, one of the most common problems in traditional network marketing is having enough people to talk to about your opportunity or products. Frequently a new business builder was asked to make a list of 100 friends and family and to call each of them up and see if they would be interested in hearing about your new MLM opportunity. Another common old school marketing tactic was just to keep talking to as many people as you can about your new network marketing business and eventually you would find someone who would be interested in what you have to say. However, with the advent of a network marketing internet business, this problem has been solved. Using the internet to provide a constant presence online, you now have the ability to
potentially get in front of thousands of people daily to introduce either your products or business opportunity. The internet provides unbounded leverage in the fact that it can present you and your business to people all around the world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if used properly. Secondly, with the advent of network marketing internet business, you do not have to rely solely on your MLM program for income. You can create multiple streams of income through something known as affiliate marketing. An affiliate product is one in which you earn a commission off of a sale when you introduce someone to a product and they purchase it. Common affiliate commissions start at 50 percent per sale. Particularly if you are looking to market your network marketing business opportunity on the internet, there are numerous generic ’how to’ affiliate products that teach people how to build their MLM business online. When you introduce those products to people, again you earn a commission on the sale of it. What better way to earn additional money while you are building your network marketing business? As you can see, a network marketing internet business is simply a way to leverage the power of the internet and can potentially bring into play multiple streams of income into your business.

Eating Well on Your Camping Holiday in Burgundy
Many people I meet are convinced that camping holidays are still hosted in rainy fields, where food is hard to cook as portable stoves fail to light in the damp weather. It’s a horrible image, but thankfully something that is now a thing of the past as many of Europe’s quality campsites boasts all kind of hotel style features from restaurants to bakeries to quality supermarkets on site. Nonetheless, if you’re still left worried about the quality of the food on your trip, then why not consider one of Burgundy’s campsites? This area of France is renowned for its high living and gourmet eating, so you are sure to be in for a culinary treat. Here are some of the appetising treats you can expect while camping in Burgundy.
The Meat
The main meat in the region is the Carollais beef cattle, and as such meat eaters are guaranteed large rich portions. Often this can be mixed with fine wines, like in the eponymous boeuf bourguignon, a traditional recipe of the region combining these two fine elements with baby onions, bacon and carrots. Coq au Vin follows a similar formula, only with chicken instead of beef. This style is repeated with many other dishes, and if your French isn’t that good, look out for the phrase “a la Bourguignonne”. There are bound to be some restaurants near your campsite in Burgundy serving this kind of food, given it’s such a popular local fare.
There are plenty of other meats if you’re not a chicken or beef eater, various hams, hare, calf head and even some river fish – usually poached in white wine, with bacon, onions, garlic and butter. Finally of course, there are the snails, and although many people will turn their noses up at them, the humble ‘escargots’ are delicious, served as they are stewed with Chablis, carrots, onions and shallots, then stuffed with garlic and parsley butter. If you consider yourself a connoisseur, you may wish to consider the black snails (the best of which are raised on grape leaves) which are considered amongst the best in France!
The Cheese
The cheeses are another fine part of the region’s cuisine, and a very nice gift to bring back from your holiday spent camping in Burgundy. The best ones are Chaource (creamy and white), St-Florentin, the orange skinned Époisses and various types of goat’s cheese from Morvan.
The Sauces & Condiments
The region’s most famous condiment is the mustard. As well as being the birthplace of the Dijon variety, there are hundreds of other types available, ranging from the blisteringly hot to the pleasantly mild. The ingredients in each variety vary, and can include the likes of tarragon and honey. You may well end up looking to take these back as souvenirs from your time spent camping in Burgundy!
As well as the wine based ones mentioned above, cream based sauces are also common, sometimes mixed with the mustard like in andouillette de Macon, for example.
The Wine
The region’s wines are celebrated the world over for their high quality and delicate flavours, and it would be a crime not to enjoy a bottle or two over your time spent camping in Burgundy. As a general rule of thumb, the farther north the vineyard, the richer the flavour of the Burgundy wine. Here, the pinot noir grape gives a delicate combination of velvet textures and complex flavours. Towards the south of the red Burgundy region is Beaujolais where gamay grapes are used providing a more dry, fruity flavour, allowing them to compliment all kinds of food.
So worry not – your holiday spent camping in Burgundy should not involve trying to light a portable stove and open cans of beans. With many fine restaurants across the region, it’s all too easy to be having some truly outstanding gourmet food prepared for you by experts – you may want to “accidentally” leave the can opener at home…

What is Poetry Becoming - Concrete, Visual, Digital, Performance, Experiential?
There are many forms of poetry. Some are best read while others are best viewed and in the future we may add that some are best felt or experienced.
Some think that "good poetry" must rhyme while others think that "good" poetry "speaks" giving a clear or profound message. Others may call poetry that behaves like a springboard, launching creative responses in those who share it, the best, but however it is viewed, poetry like fashion is clothed in styles that affect its acceptability and/or respectability and promotion, and all poetry is about communication. It publishes, records or makes visible our experiences as well as showing things that have not necessarily been seen or noticed before, triggering that "Ah ha!", eureka or identification experience.
The exploration of image triggering and message transmission as an artistic form of communication can cause a blurring of the boundaries between poetry and art, if we can say that they in fact do have boundaries. We have created words to say this such as word art, concrete poetry, visual poetry, pattern poetry, visual riddles and puzzle poetry.
The concept of concrete poetry and word art has been around a long time although the words to define it as an art form may not. It is believed that the word "concrete poetry" began to spread as a new term in the 1950's helped by an exhibition of concrete poetry and a manifesto that was published in Brazil.
If we looked closely at some of the ancient forms of poetry we might see that many have relied on the visual aspects of the written language to communication, but more recently beginnings have been attributed to Apollinaire, who created calligrammes in 1914.
In visual poetry, the juxtaposition of letters, sound and shapes may be played with. The synergy of these words, letters and shapes trigger images, sounds and messages that can be called the art of the poet....making more from the sum of the parts in a visual communication.
The key element in visual poetry is the visual nature as apposed to the sound the words make. However some poets, as I have, use their homographical and homophonical discoveries to make poetry that needs to be read and seen:
Here/hair
is light
on
hair/here
as
light on
here/hair.
Performance poetry also relies on visual and oral communication. The difference being that aspects of the poem must be seen in the poet rather than on other forms of published material.
With the development of communication technologies, we can embed aural and visual stimuli into unique still or animated artistic expressions....what shall we call these new art forms? We already have words such as digital art and new media to talk about some art forms but do the words digital poems really communicate all that they can be? We have the technology to bring more senses into the poetry equation, touch for instance. What terms will we use for the touchy feely poems....experiential poetry?
