Free Legitimate Work from Home Business Opportunities are a Rare Gem

Lately, the internet has become flooded with ads promoting “get rich quick” schemes. To the average person these ads promise thousands of dollars in a short amount of time. Unfortunately, most of these ads only promote scams. This leads many to believe that there is no true way to earn an income from home and that ALL ads promoting opportunities to work from home are scams. Luckily there are a few real companies that offer ways to earn a legitimate income from home. One such company is SFI.

Since its launch in 1998, SFI (Strong Futures International) has been leading the Internet income revolution with its cutting edge affiliate program that empowers even average people to earn $20, $50, even $100 per hour working from their home computer. SFI has shown millions of men and women from over 200 countries worldwide how to cash in on the Internet. In fact, this system is so successful that over 8000 people join SFI every week and is believed to be the largest affiliate network in the world.

SFI is completely free for anyone to join and there is absolutely no obligation. SFI provides all affiliates with free websites, a free course that provides lessons on how to make money online (valued at $295), and hundreds of exciting products from Veriuni™. The Veriuni™ product line is comprised of nutritional products, cleaning products, personal care products, pet care products, hundreds of magazines and more. SFI is also the exclusive marketing arm for the IAHBE (International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs).

SFI is a division of Carson Services, Inc., headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska USA. Founded in 1985, Carson Services has a long and successful track record in the publishing and network-marketing industries. SFI is a longtime member of the Better Business Bureau serving Southern Nebraska, as well as members of the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce.

SFI's unprecedented success has been largely attributed to the unique makeup of its affiliate program—a hybrid combination of the best parts of traditional direct sales and network marketing, combined with the technological advantages of the Internet. Highly automated, SFI's expansive core computer system processes thousands of requests a day, around the clock, from around the world.

SFI is revolutionizing the way companies market their products and services. With its enormous base of independent affiliates, SFI has the power to reach tens of millions of consumers and businesses worldwide. SFI affiliates can also aggressively target niche markets with high market penetration.

Carson Services, Inc. and SFI's founder is Gery Carson. Gery's success as a entrepreneur has been told in Money Makers Monthly, Upline, Opportunity World Magazine, and in several books and videos. He has authored several best-selling marketing tools and has been featured as an expert guest on live call-in radio shows. Gery was selected to the 1992 Outstanding Young Men of America list and 1997's Who's Who in the Media and Communications.

The First in Mobile Payment Processing

The First in Mobile Payment Processing
By Jacob JS Bornman

MobillCash is a payment system that enables people to use their mobile phone to make purchases without having to have a credit card or bank account. Vidicom Limited, the owners of the MobillCash payment gateway, today announced that from November 1, 2007, all merchants who accept MobillCash as a method of payment will earn up to 32% extra per transaction from all sales to U.K. mobile phone customers.

This significant breakthrough has been achieved following lengthy negotiations between MobillCash and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs - the government department that is responsible for administering and collecting the taxes in the United Kingdom have ruled that MobillCash's unique service is a genuine "Financial Transfer Service" and as such should be treated in exactly the same way as other e-money processors and credit card companies like Visa and MasterCard.

From November 1, 2007, this new status will pay dividends to all MobillCash merchants who will enjoy payouts that will increase by anything between 20% and 32% per transaction, depending on which mobile service provider is used by the consumer.

Glyn Smith, Founder / CEO, stated, "Five years of planning and three years of programming have finally paid off. I firmly believe that MobillCash is the first and only Mobile Payment System that is exempt from sales taxes." He went on to say, "Any on-line merchant who currently sells digital services via any ordinary PSMS or SMS billing platform, or even via the very latest WAP applications can instantly increase its profits by 32% per transaction without changing the way it does business by simply making a no cost switch to MobillCash.

Mr. Smith went on to say, "The implication of achieving the status of a financial transaction provider is extremely wide reaching. Almost by default, this will be adopted throughout the European Union in the very near future. We have worked single mindedly towards establishing MobillCash as the first and only Mobile Payment system worthy of this status - we find this very rewarding, but the real rewards will be felt by our Merchants. We are working towards making MobillCash available to one billion mobile phone subscribers by early in 2008 and to have this unique status reflected in other continents around the globe as soon as possible."

MobillCash is simple to use for both customers and merchants. A customer makes a purchase by simply entering his mobile phone number on a web site. He'll then receive a text message to confirm his purchase with a simple reply of "Y" for yes. Then the purchase price will be billed to him by his mobile phone carrier.

Perfume, Perfume, Perfume - The Essence of Attraction - My DNA Fragrance Attracts Global Attention

Perfume, Perfume, Perfume - The Essence of Attraction - My DNA Fragrance Attracts Global Attention
By Dr, Diva Verdun, PhD

Today, there are many new technologies available for the creation of perfumes and fragrances. From the creation of synthetic fragrance to new methods of fragrant extraction, chemist and perfumers continue to make perfumery methods more and more efficient, yet the concept of mixing fragrance has not changed since times of antiquity.

Perfume has influenced history since the time of the Egyptians and it has been intertwined with the human race ever since. Egyptian citizens were commanded to perfume themselves at least once a week and created many scented creams and emollients to cover their hair and bodies while taking elaborate fragrant baths sometimes three times a day. Perfumes from the Egyptian era were so potent, that 3,300 years after Tutankhamen’s death, a trace of fragrance in the tightly sealed pots of unguents could be detected when the tomb was opened.

The power of perfume has influenced every area of our culture including entertainment, as the essence of fragrance and its power to captivate our emotions is captured on film. Movie stars place their names on beautifully packaged massed produced scents and precious essential oils priced at $10,000 an ounce both offer an over the counter quick fix to the ever increasing thirst for these fragrant elixirs.

With more than 30,000 designer fragrances on the market, a new company, My DNA Fragrance has found a way to create fragrance exclusive to each individual. Using its own revolutionary fragrance formulation process, My DNA Fragrance uses DNA as the blueprint to create biologically seductive liquid treasures that caress the secret desires of the mind. In a world seeking individuality and exclusivity, My DNA Fragrance gives customers the opportunity to create their very own signature fragrance.

How do they do it? Shhhhh.. It’s a secret, just like Coca-Cola’s soda formulation, McDonald’s secret sauce, and Krispy Kreme's donut recipe, except the secret walks into a room with you, captivating every nose as it inhales your fragrant essence. Unlike the Celebrities, you make your own history as you leave a memory of you in every room.

Create and control your PDF documents

Create and control your PDF documents
By ReaSoft Development

If your business needs to convert one or two documents over the next month or two, submitting to online PDF conversion services may be fine. On the other end of the scale are large businesses needing to deal with tens of hundreds of conversions every single month. For those businesses, ReaSoft PDF Printer is a good pick.
ReaSoft Development today announces the immediate availability of ReaSoft PDF Printer 3, a virtual PDF printer driver, designed with server-side processing in mind. Once the printer is installed, you can convert from any application that has a printing functionality.

ReaSoft PDF Print Server Edition lets admins set up user and group settings to control how users work with the printer. Custom PDF settings, such as security parameters or document processing can be assigned by admins to a group or to an individual user. ReaSoft PDF Printer fully supports Windows Terminal Server and Citrix Metaframe environments.The end users can convert to PDF simultaneously from multiple computers connected on the network. The output is fully configurable. In the special dialog, you can set the document title, subject, author, keywords; add hierarchical bookmarks for document pages; apply watermarks, add headers and footers with data, embed fonts; convert links to PDF hyperlinks, protect the output with 40 or 128 bit RC4 encryption, add printing, copying and modification restrictions and set up other options that you would find in other high-end virtual PDF printer.

Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP Implementation Checklist – Alba Spectrum

Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP Implementation Checklist – Alba Spectrum
By Andrew Karasev

If your organization is researching Great Plains purchasing and installation options, we would like to give you highlights. Current version of GP is 10.0 as of October 2007, version upgrades are outside of the scope of this article, where we would like to concentrate on ERP implementation options and scenarios. We also intended to write it in FAQ manner with bullets and checkmarks:
1. Switching over to GP from legacy accounting system. If you are controller or chief accountant, we understand this question is very important. The switch is typically done via data conversion (with master records migration, or in required cases even historical transaction data move), or initial GL balances entry posting and moving ahead (in some cases customers want to maintain legacy MRP and GP in parallel for one month to reassure reliability). If you are small business owner, where previously you were maintaining your accounting records in Excel, data massage and conversion are probably not relevant to your situation and you are ready for “fresh” Great Plains software licenses purchasing and standard implementation. Data conversion is always not an easy thing for mid-market ERP packages, such as GP, so you should not hope on moving all your history to Great Plains and keep legacy ERP for data inquiry.
2. Where to shop for the implementing? Microsoft Dynamics subdivision is deploying the model of GP licenses selling and implementation through MBS partner channel, so you will need to select Microsoft Great Plains implementation company satisfying your criteria. You should also be familiar with ERP support model – Microsoft and other ERP vendors (Oracle, SAP, Sage) require you to pay annual fee, in the case of GP it is annual enhancement program, which typically is from 16 to 25%, depending on your support quality ambitions
3. GP integration overview. Great Plains has end user tool, Integration Manager, which should cover most of your possible integration needs, if you feel that IM doesn’t do the job for you, you should explore GP Dexterity, eConnect, SQL scripting, EDI.

Music Technology Enthusiast Starts MP3 365 Blog

Music Technology Enthusiast Starts MP3 365 Blog
By Neekam / Marketing

Music file sharing fan, Marvin Chatinover, has partnered with Neekam company to create the MP3 365 Blog. This blog will act as a source of information and networking for MP3 news, music downloading applications, experiencing great file sharing success, MP3 technology updates and more. This blog's mission is to provide information on making the most of your music downloading and inexpensive MP3 software

Marvin Chatinover says, “Modern computer users expect MP3 applications of superior quality that gets the job done. This blog shares knowledge about streaming technologies that are perfected to capture music in full quality, something that most other recording applications are not able to do."

This blog seeks to add to the publicity surrounding the amazing growth of MP3 PC technology containing a bounty of information and tips regarding enjoying the perfect MP3 experience. This blog will post on a regular basis on semiconductor companies targeting consumer products, especially for audio and video applications, that their latest offering will be successful because consumers demand the better features and quality of capabilities that their new silicon product targets.

"The music industry continues to develop exciting new digital models that offer fan and consumers their favorite music how they want it and where they want it," said Mr. Chatinover ”As Internet connections have become faster, some expect the next big potential market to be in downloading movies and television shows. Some analysts believe it could be much larger than the digital music market. Apple Inc. offers video-compatible iPod devices and the iPhone, along with downloadable television shows, music videos and movies for purchase on its iTunes Store. But analysts say there is no clear winner yet and the market is up for grabs.”

According to Mr. Chatinover the Blog also stresses music file sharing and music technology, "Today a broad range of world class PC technology solutions provide the consumer with an unmatched audio quality experience. Today advanced hardware with enhanced software technology provides consumers with a high end, true multimedia downloading and listening experiences."

Cure Your Asthma in Just One Week

Cure Your Asthma in Just One Week
Judie Light

Asthma prevention tips for avoiding asthma symptoms. Only through understanding the cause of asthma can we hope to cure.

You are probably familiar with what can trigger or worsen your asthma, sinus or allergies. I have described many of these agents below, and perhaps some of the information will be useful to help you avoid them in your environment. Many of these agents are harmful to our health in other ways.

Modern medicine, as it stands at the moment, has either stopped looking for the causes of asthma or it has false impressions of the causes. Through dealing with "trigger factors" we can only hope to treat the symptoms of the problem. Only through understanding the cause of the disease (Read the Naturally Free From Asthma Report), can we hope to cure.

Some reported, well-known and not so well-known triggers for asthma or bronchospasm include:

Allergens (particles that cause allergies) such as dust mites, cockroaches, pollen, molds and animal dander (which are tiny scales or particles that fall off hair, feathers or skin) from any pets
Aspirin
Peanuts
Particulates (air-born pollution)
Cold air or hot stuffy environments, or sudden changes in temperature Tobacco smoke and wood smoke
Perfume, paint, hair spray, or any strong odors or fumes
Common cold, influenza, and other respiratory illnesses

Food chemicals that may trigger asthma include: Sulphites (sulphur dioxide and sodium metabisulphite)

Food colours (tartrazine) Monosodium glutamate (MSG) Alcoholic drinks (Sulfite additives have been associated with triggering asthmatic responses. They are present in significant levels in most wines, but other ingredients in wine can also trigger an asthmatic response.)

Obesity
The dramatic increase in the number of asthmatics may be linked to an increase in levels of obesity, scientists have said. Researchers have found that the fatter the adult, the greater the likelihood of asthma.
Your Occupation
Plastics

Exercise (Exercise, especially in cold air, is a frequent asthma trigger)
Overeating, or laughing excessively
Some controversial triggers under discussion include:

Organophosphates – the widespread use of organophosphate insecticides to address pest infestations in lower socio-economic areas, may contribute to the very disproportionate high rates of asthma in disadvantaged black and minority communities in the US.

Toluene
72% of asthma patients in a study showed adverse reactions to perfumes; i.e., pulmonary function tests dropping anywhere between 18% and 58% below baseline (from "Affects of Odors in Asthma,"

Chang Shim, MD and M. Henry Williams, MD, American Journal of Medicine, January, 1986 Vol. 80)

Toluene-laced fragrance industry chemical products have become increasingly pervasive in the last ten years - used not only in perfumes, but also in furniture wax, tires, plastic garbage bags, inks, hair gel, hairspray, and kitty litter. A Danish toxicological journal, "Ugeskr Laegar", Vol. 153, ISS 13, 1991, p. 939-40, found perfume in kitty litter to be a cause of asthma in humans.

The only safe assumption about scented products is that they contain numerous toxic chemicals which constantly vaporize into the air and attach themselves to the hair, clothing, carpets and and surroundings of anyone who wears them. These chemicals go directly into the bloodstream when applied to our skin and are also absorbed into the skin from our clothing. We also inhale the chemical fumes, which then go straight to our brains where they can do major harm. These chemicals are skin irritants, suffocants, eye and respiratory tract irritants, and neurotoxins.

Household cleaning products and synthetic fragrances - One theory for the rise in asthma cases says that it isn't being caused by more pollutants - it's caused by the world being too clean. According to this theory, children raised without enough exposure to dirt, dust, and disease may not build up a resistance to some allergens -- causing problems later in life. My personal belief is that it is the fragrance and other toxic ingredients in our household cleaning products, air fresheners, dishwasher powder etc that is contributing to the rise.
