Trying Out Prize Live

Okay. As you know, I'm doing MyLot but the money there is slow going unless you do the writing tasks and as I've said before, I'm done with that until further notice. Entrecard came up with Atokens, but when I signed up, I couldn't really see myself earning much there. We'll see though. They might do some changes to the system to improve it. In the meantime, I'm trying out Prize Live. It just struck me as easier and more interactive. Also more fun. You can go check it out for yourselves.

I Can't Write for Demand Studios

How's this for dumb? I hear about Demand Studios. I hurry to sign up for it. I accomplish the online form, attaching necessary writing samples, résumé and URL links (for which I took time to pick, edit, and update). I get to the writing authorization part and choose "None of the above". I click "submit" and am told that they do not accept my kind of writing authorization. I guess you have to be from the US, Canada, or UK to be eligible. I wish I had seen that note somewhere before I went ahead and wasted all that effort. Argh. Even my argh is weary. The energy intended for it had gone to all that signing up trouble.

Writing Woes

Jobs have been slow going lately. Mostly because I haven't been seeking them out. I better snap out of this. I need to get back in my Odesk streak. I really just haven't been checking. I guess I found it frustrating, to check everyday and not find anything that I thought to be priced well. Also, the ones I bothered applying for all expired. I would have preferred for them to just have gone with another provider instead of to have expired. With the former, at least my efforts would have been worth the while since there was an actual job... Anyway, in the meantime, I continue writing my novelette, which is seriously going nowhere fast. All those dialogues and the plot still not perceivable (it's already formed in my mind though). Sigh. At least, I like working on that.

Again, on Fortitude

I just had another piece published in Fortitude, but unfortunately it didn't make it to the Front Page. Oh well, the Front Page streak (durr, if you can call two articles a streak, lol) had to be broken sometime. Anyway, it still gets a dollar, I retain copyrights, and I can republish it somewhere else... Go check it out if you have time: You Know You're a Homemaking Newbie If You Won't Stop Yapping About That Half-burnt Bread.

OXIS Is the Premiere Provider of Ergothioneine

In this world fraught with contaminants and toxins, keeping healthy is really an uphill climb. Everyday we deal with harmful substances in seemingly innocuous objects. No matter what you do, you cannot escape them. They are everywhere. It does not do to live a very paranoid lifestyle either. That would just suck all the joy out of living. How do you go about things then? Like in most cases, balance is the key. Go ahead and live your life, but do so with enough consciousness for your health. Invest in your well-being, but do not let it be an obsession.
Businesses know that health is a persistent concern and they endeavor to come up with products that will provide answers and solutions. A company that stands out for its innovations in the field of health and medicine is OXIS International, Inc. (See http://www.oxis.com).For half a century, it has been consistent in its efforts to address various health issues. Currently, they have produced a line-up of goods that includes therapeutic nutraceutical products, cosmeceutical products, and proprietary formulations and clinical products. Now is the time more than ever to invest in OXIS, even in terms of penny stocks. OXIS is at the top of its game as the premiere provider for Ergothioneine, a potent antioxidant. It targets oxidative stress, which happens when the generation of free radicals and ROS/RNS goes past the body's natural defense mechanisms and damages the body's vital molecules causing cell dysfunction and cell death. Ergothioneine has the ability to neutralize increased oxidative stress. It also supports the function of other antioxidants such as Vitamin E, Vitamin C and glutathione by conserving and maintaining their levels. Besides these, it also increases respiration and the oxidation of fat; protect mitochondria from damage, etc. When it comes to the matter of aging, OXIS products are known to have anti-aging properties.
