Toronto Mom Makes $9,000/Month From Home And You Won't Believe How She Does It!

Melissa puts her computer to work and makes money while working from home. She says that Online Web Cash has helped change her financial life and recommends it to everyone.


Ever Considered Working From Home?

Melissa Johnson from Toronto never thought that she would work online, until curiosity got the best of her and she filled out a simple online form. Before she knew it, she discovered her secret to beating the recession, and being able to provide for her family while at home with her three children.

I read Melissa's blog last month and decided to feature her story in our weekly consumer report. In our phone interview she told me her amazing story. "I actually make about $8,000-$9,000 a month working from home. It's enough to comfortably replace my old jobs' income, especially considering I only work about 15-18 hours a week from home.





You could be receiving cheques like this
Working online has been a financial windfall for Melissa, who struggled for months to find a decent job but kept hitting dead ends. "I lost my job shortly after the recession hit, I needed reliable income, I was not interested in the "get rich quick" scams you see all over the internet. Those are all pyramid scams or stuff which you have to sell to your friends and family. I just needed a legitimate way to earn a living for me and my family. The best part of working online is that I am always home with the kids. Thanks to the Online Web Cash Kit I am giving my kids the childhood they deserve."


I asked her about how she started her life-changing journey. "It was pretty easy, I filled out a short form and applied for a work-at-home kit. There is a small activation fee; it's not really free but it was under $2. I got the kit and within four weeks I was making over $5,500 a month. It's really simple, I am not a computer whiz, but I can use the internet. I don't even have to sell anything and nobody has to buy anything. Companies are constantly recruiting people for this, you should try it."


The companies you work with are worth over 100 billion dollars and are the most used sites in the internet market place, like Amazon, Google, Walmart, Delta, Apple and more... You're using the top ranked sites in the world, over 50 percent of all internet traffic flows through them everyday. It's a great opportunity and this has been helping people work at home for over 5 years. Why not get in with the internet's best and biggest companies?


There are plenty of scams on the internet claiming you can make $60,000 a month, but that is exactly what they are - scams. From my conversation with Melissa, "I am making a good salary from home, which is amazing, under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day that I filled out that form."

Quickly, Melissa Johnson was able to use the simple Online Web Cash to make it out of the recession.
"I actually make $8,000-$9,000 from home every month." - Melissa Johnson
Melissa had never shared her story before, this is the first time she's going public.
Here's how to get started:

Step 1: Go to Online Web Cash, and fill out the form to get instant activation.

Step 2: Follow the instructions at Online Web Cash and set up your account. Then they will show you what to do. Everything gets tracked.

Football & Head Injuries: What the Brain Research Says

Football & Head Injuries: What the Brain Research Says

by Rachael Rettner,

The up-and-coming professional football player Chris Borland, of the San Francisco 49ers, is now leaving the sport out of concern that a career in football would increase his risk of brain disease. But what types of neurological problems have been linked with football, and how might these arise?

On Monday (March 16), Borland announced he was retiring from football after studying the link between football head injuries and degenerative brain disease, and discussing his decision with friends, family members, concussion researchers and teammates, according to ESPN.

"From what I've researched and what I've experienced, I don't think it's worth the risk," Borland told ESPN. "I just want to live a long, healthy life, and I don't want to have any neurological diseases or die younger than I would otherwise," Borland said. [6 Foods That Are Good for Your Brain]


The types of brain damage that can occur as a result of being a professional football player have received increased attention in recent years. For example, there is growing awareness of a particularly severedegenerative brain disease called chronic traumatic encephalopathy(CTE). The disease has been linked to the deaths of Tom McHale, who played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Dave Duerson, who played for the Chicago Bears.

In fact, researchers at Boston University have now found signs of CTE in nearly 60 former professional football players when their brains were analyzed after their deaths, according to the university's CTE Center. (CTE can be diagnosed only after death.)

In most cases, CTE is thought to be caused by repeated blows to the head, which damage brain tissue and lead to a buildup of an abnormal protein called tau, according to the CTE Center.

In addition to football players, CTE has also been seen in boxers and hockey players. It causes symptoms such as impaired learning and memory loss, and has been linked with suicide. These symptoms often begin years or decades after players have ended their athletic careers,according to the Boston Universitycenter.

It's not known how many hits to the head or concussions a person needs to experience to develop CTE. A person's genetics also likely plays a role, because not everyone with a history of repeated brain trauma develops the disease, the CTE Center says.

Other studies have linked professional football with neurological problems that may or may not be related to CTE. In a 2013 study, researchers scanned the brains of retired football players while they performed certain tasks and found that the players were more likely to have abnormalities in their brain activity, compared with healthy people.

A 2012 study found that the risk of death from Alzheimer's and ALS (also called Lou Gehrig's disease) was 4 times higher among NFL players than the general population. It's possible that CTE may have been the true cause of death in some of these cases, but the study was not able to determine this because it examined death certificates, which didn't list CTE as a cause of death, the researchers said.

Another study of 34 retired NFL players who had suffered concussions found that those who had experienced more concussions had moresymptoms of depression.

Concussions can damage the brain's white matter — the tissue that forms "cables" in the brain and allows different regions to communicate, according to the study. The researchers also found they could predict which players had depression by examining images of their brains' white matter, suggesting a link between white matter changes and depression.

Another theory as to why hits to the head increase the risk of brain disease points to the body's immune system as the culprit.

According to the hypothesis, from researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center, hits to the head open up the blood brain barrier, and allow a brain protein called S100B to leak out into the blood and circulate around the body. Because the body is not used to seeing this protein in the blood, it may develop antibodies to it, as if it were a foreign compound. If these antibodies then find their way back into the brain, they could attack the brain itself, the researchers say. However, much more research is needed to evaluate this hypothesis.

Currently, CTE cannot be diagnosed in living people, but researchers are working on ways to identify the condition early. In a 2013 study of retired NFL players who had thinking and mood problems, researchers injected the players with a chemical marker, called FDDNP, which binds to the tau protein. The researchers found that FDDNP levels were higher in the brains of the former NFL players, compared with the brains of healthy people, suggesting that tau was in fact building up in their brains.

Identifying the disease early could potentially lead to ways to stop its progression, the researchers said.

Nutting's Flycatcher: a Big Year Birder's Dream

Nutting's Flycatcher: a Big Year Birder's Dream

A Nutting's Flycatcher--Myiarchus nuttingi--recently made an appearance in the desert oasis of Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge for the second time this year. This makes Arizona a pretty lucky state: Nutting's Flycatcher is a Code 5 (a.k.a. accidental) species in the ABA Area, meaning that the species has been recorded five or fewer times in the North American continent, and yet it has been recorded twice in the same spot in the same year! It even seems to have overwintered in this wildlife refuge, as it was first found in December of 2011, and was last found March 25th, this year. Basically, it's one of those really rare birds that make ANY Big Year that much better, including Sandy Komito's record setting Big Year of 1998 after which both the book and the movie titled "The Big Year" are based. Nutting's Flycatcher was the first rarity that Komito started with. Image that. January 1st; you start your year with a Code 5. That's good birding man.

But beyond the birding aspect of it, let's look into the biological aspects of this sighting. We'll start with a perennial birding favorite: the range map.




From this fine map--found on Cornell's Neotropical Birds--we can see that Nutting's Flycatchers are not migratory, but can infer that they probably disperse from their breeding territories when the season's brood is raised. We can also see that their range stretches up the western half of Mexico almost to Arizona, so it's not much of a stretch, one would think, for Nutting's Flycatchers to occur in Arizona. Their nonmigratory habits would account for their Code 5 status, though, because the birds just don't move around enough to make them common outside of their range. So what would draw the bird (if it is the same individual) to this wildlife refuge twice? Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge is described as a rare desert habitat with some of the last stands of native cottonwood-willow forest along the Colorado River. This creates a rich, even lush riparian habitat that would appear attractive to neotropical migrants, and even neotropical rarities. But why didn't the bird just stay where it was? Wouldn't the bird have plenty of habitat in its actual range? There's not an easy answer to these questions as we don't know much about this individual other than its occurrence north-of-range, but the answer may be yes. During the nonbreeding season, a hierarchy develops that dictates which songbirds get which qualities of habitats, with older adult males at the top, younger males and females just below, and young females at the bottom with the lowest quality habitat. As habitat destruction and degradation continues, this hierarchy is pressured for all sorts of species, and the birds at the bottom are getting it worse and worse. This could push some of the individuals on the bottom of the scale out-of-range just to survive, so it would be interesting to see if this individual is a young female. We'll see how long this bird sticks around--we might get some experts on the job.

With every rarity, there are always tons of questions, even beyond identification. IDing Nutting's Flycatchers is a challenge in of itself; they even used to be considered the same species as the more common Ash-throated Flycatcher. Luckily, they give their distinctive callnotes frequently. But beyond that, why the bird is occurring out of range raises all sorts of questions, such as how it behaves differently when in and out of range. Sadly, the likelihood that most of these questions will be answered is slim, but that's one of the best things about birds, and nature as a whole: it puts you in a constant state of inquiry, and that's a big reason why I'll never stop.
