July 28th, 2009 About the Enterprising Vision of Naveen Jain — Dedicated Humanitarianism at Its Foremost

Like so many other people you’ll have seen mention of Mr. Naveen Jain’s name in connection with him being the co-founder and CEO of Intelius, Inc. the predictive intelligence service company. Well beyond having a position on the Forbes 400 Richest in America list 2000, this enterprising entrepreneur has won several coveted awards, notably the WSA Industry Achievement Award, the Albert Einstein Technology Medal, and the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. But that is certainly not the end of the story. For Naveen Jain and his relatives are equally as ardent about philanthropy and will attempt to help out as regularly as they are able to. Our kids definitely are humanity’s most valuable resource. They are also an essential motivation for this enterprising man and he tries to take advantage of any occasion he sees to help them. This obviously, is the main reason why he is assiduously exploiting every chance he can to lend a helping hand if possible. Thus, Naveen Jain, his kin and the workers at Intelius, Inc. devote their time and efforts to philanthropical entities e.g. the University Preparatory Academy, the Children’s Hospital, and the University of Washington. Of course they will give magnanimous monetary support but even more importantly they pledge premium time and care to those youth who require it the most. Moreover, Naveen Jain donates to the Children’s Hospital, being dedicated to elevating children’s health as well.

Seeing that Naveen Jain is a former student of XLRI Jamshedpur and the Indian Institute of Technology, it’s no surprise that formal training is an exceedingly significant priority in his philanthropic activities. This embraces campaigns and deserving causes that are local, state, and nationwide. Therefore it only stands to reason that Intelius and its co-founder are involved in funding deserving causes and foundations such as the Rotary Club, the Indian American Education Foundation and the Bellevue Boys and Girls Club.

Feeding the planet’s starving constitutes an equally essential challenge to Jain and his folks and to him, it makes not one jot of difference. Although Naveen is conscious that the mission of finding food for all the world’s unnourished is a staggering one, he also understands that the irresolvable can indeed come to be reachable if everyone works together. If this entrepreneur gets his way, the final curtain will come down on hunger and neediness all over the world one day.

One would think that functioning as the man in charge of a very thriving company as well as being a devoted family man would give him no spare leeway for charity and aiding the needy. Even so Naveen Jain ensures that every one of his beneficent undertakings may rely on all the support he can possibly marshal. Indeed this untiringly idealistic businessman is positively more than just a business pioneer. He is, even more importantly, also an extraordinary personality and a real advocate of his community.

July 28th, 2009 What is Butterfly Marketing?

Surely Mike Filsaime used ‘Butterfly Marketing’ to promote ‘Butterfly Marketing’ Or at least that’s what you would think. But from what I’ve found from little hints here and there that doesn’t seem to be the case.

So then what is it? What is ‘Butterfly Marketing?’

Well, first let me say for those that have been hearing about what a huge package it is, don’t get size confused with content. I am not going to name names, but I have bought a number of high dollar packages from well known marketers to find that it took hours and hours and hours to find the 6 small pieces of information that was slightly unique and usable.

Like I said, we don’t know for a fact what ‘Butterfly Marketing’ is. But we can get a pretty good clue from studying the information from affiliates and from Mike’s site.

So let’s get out our butterfly nets and see what we can catch.

Okay if we watch the video on Mike’s page where he talks about what he did to create a flow of traffic as an example for his seminar he was giving we can tell.

1. He took a quality product that he was selling, but that sales had slowed down on and he offered it for free. So we can see that we need our own product. whether it is a new one or one that has been around for awhile.

2. Not only did he offer the product for free, but he also let anybody else that wanted to, also offer it for free. Ideally this would be a membership type site. But it doesn’t have to be.

3. It seems that while others are able to give the product away and can build their own list with your product, to actually download the product they have to enter your site and give there info. To get the product as a final step. Of course a membership site would automatically be set up in this way.

4. Then when people download the product or join the membership they get a one time offer. This is in the form of a thank you page.

5. The one time offer is a product that has a good conversion rate. And since it is a one time offer it’s something that people are going to be able buy spontaneously without having to do a bunch of research and something that isn’t over the top in cost. Say, under $100.00.

6. This one time offer is obviously connected to your affiliate program so not only can people use it to help build their list they can also make some good money.

This is an excellent example of viral marketing and is a model that we should all try to follow.

This seems to be the general concept and that’s what ‘Butterfly Marketing’ appears to be to me.

Now, that isn’t all that that ‘Butterfly Marketing’ consists of. Mike also offers his plug and play website template software. This looks like an incredible tool. Here is what it will do.

* Instant Home Page, Signup, Login, Lost Password, FAQ, And T.O.S. Pages

* Onetime Offer After Signup

* 2nd Onetime Offer After Signup

* Members Area with: Account Info, Newsletter, Affiliate Stats, Make Money Pages, Contest Standings, and Logout.

* Built In Affiliate Program with Custom Terms (Levels and Percentages, and JV Partners.)

* Can Handle Split Pay Script for Affiliates or Regular Where you mass Pay Monthly.

* Members Detailed Commission Stats And Affiliate Stats For Members.

* Members Affiliate Promotion Tools Section with Affiliate Link ID’s built in for, Tell-A-Friend, Email Letters, Safelist Letters, Ezine Ads, Articles, Press Release Copy, Blog Review Copy, Banners, Graphic Site Images, Top-Sponsor-Ads, Email Signatures, Forum Signatures, and Pop Up Code.

* Members can Email downline feature. On/Off

* Can Integrate with any Multi-Level Traffic Script for custom work.

* Main settings like: sitename, siteURL, PayPal and StormPay Email, with Integrated IPN, and email Templates, signup bonuses and promotion codes.

* Built in Autoresponder and Broadcast feature with unsubscribe from account feature.

* Built in Help Desk.

* Comprehensive Members Search, and Quick Sort, and Filter. With Instant Password retrieval, Instant Login and All account info and Add member.

* Manage And Create Any Number of Membership Levels and Statuses. Set Different Prices And Affiliate Payouts Membership

* Comprehensive Affiliate Commission management for your commission plan. Includes PayPal Mass Pay Txt File.

* Enter Custom navigation links and place them any where you want at anytime. All handled through the your admin panel. You can add new pages to your site right thru Admin

It certainly doesn’t seem to be missing much and looks fantastic… Until you compare it to JVManager. Which seems to be pretty close to the same thing, except JVManager even offers more.

Okay, on top of that Mike is giving some real nice bonuses. Some seem to be duplicates of what his plug and play software does. But he also includes some incredible informational products. It would have been really cool to be one of the first 10 to get his program. Just one of those bonuses would have been worth the investment.

If you are wondering, I am in no way trying to shoot down Mike’s product. There is no doubt in my mind that there is information in this package called ‘Butterfly Marketing’ that can make you tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars if you apply it.

I just want you to consider the possibility of an alternative.

No matter what direction you choose to take keep in mind that it will be only as successful as you make it.

Look at Mike’s testimonials some of these people applied the system and made it work. I promise that there are many times more people that will not make a single penny because they won’t apply a single step that is given.

Want to see what ‘butterfly Marketing’ is for sure? Then go to the sites of the people that offer testimonials. Watch what they do. And if it is a great system then believe me they will be using it.

For those that would like to see a complete software system that is in my opinion even superior to the one he offers you might check out my link here. Http://www.simplosity.com/JVM.html or there is another way to get it and even more by going here. http://www.simplosity.com

Well, I hope it was a butterfly we caught and not actually a grass hopper. :-)

July 28th, 2009 Scout out a Theatre Production in London Town and Endeavour World Class Entertainment

The excellent city of London has forever registered a huge level of tourists coming to visit to find the history and to observe the people. And very recently the busy city of London has observed a growth spurt in tourists visiting the astonishing theatre area. All this can be down to the change in value of the pound or it might be down to the inflation in tourists the city of London has seen.

With the boost in London tourists, the production corporations have been heavily marketing their musical productions to seduce London tourists in. London tourists should have seen a massive rise in adverts on taxis or in tourist magazines, and especially the volume of theatre show deals that are on offer from the theatre ticket booths in Leicester Square. The theatre ticket deals have registered tickets as cheap as half price compared to the ticket r.r.p. and London tourists can even see theare productions like Grease and Chicago for as cheap as twenty pounds a seat, this is amazing for the tourists and of course for Londoners.

Most theatre shows are positioned in the West End of London in big grand theatres able to hold a substantial volume of people. People refer to Theatre Land in the West End as being similar to Broadway in New York. Get Phantom of the Opera London tickets at discounted prices.

July 28th, 2009 VPN – Overview of Virtual Private Networks

Virtual Private Network is a network within a network. This is very popular with businesses that have people working remotely. Basically what we have here is a utilization of the network already provided by the internet. The internet infrastructure can be used as the network for remote employees to access their corporate systems.

Corporate environments have a far greater need for tight security. This is achieved by creating a VPN (virtual private
network) on top of the normal internet connection. This type of connection allows for greater security and encryption. Only authenticated users can access the corporate network and the data being transferred cannot be intercepted.

So this VPN (virtual private network) connection is being run through the internet public network.

Two components are needed to make this scenario work. First, there needs to be a corporate server setup which has the server
VPN software installed (and a good router with a firewall). The next would be to have the client VPN software installed on the remote employees machines. Once the client machine is on the internet, they would use the VPN client software to communicate to the corporate server VPN where authentication occurs. Once the server identifies the connecting client as a valid machine, access to the network is granted. From then on all information to/from the client to the server is traveling along this virtual private network and is protected by the additional layer of encryption and security provided.

Finally, there can be a cost savings if determining whether a leased line or VPN is for you. Leased lines can increase in price based on the geographic distance between sites. A virtual private network does not and in fact is more scaleable. (This is a general statement ONLY. It’s best to consult with your communications broker prior to making this decision. A broker
will be able to provide much more information when compared to speaking with a specific vendor)

VPN is definitely a viable option for businesses small and large that have remote employees, need site-to-site access with remote offices or secure dial-up connections.

This article is just a very general overview. You should use this only as a starting point to even determine whether or not this type of technology is for you. During your evaluation of this technology, you should consider what type of implementation your looking to do; remote access, site-to-site, secure dial-up. Additional areas to research would be security, firewalls, encryption, server type and IPSec (internet protocol security protocol).

July 26th, 2009 Bajan Roots and Rhythms

The highlight of my trip to the Lesser Antilles was the exciting Bajan Roots and Rhythms show that I attended at The Plantation in Barbados. This is the best dinner and dance show on the entire island. It is a cultural extravaganza filled with West Indian and Barbadian culture with colorful costumes, dances and music.

I was waiting all day for evening to set in so I could experience all the glitz and glamour of the show. It was quite unusual because for once I was the first one to arrive. A couple of other people had also gathered around waiting for the paying booths to open. As I began chatting with them I found a nice couple who were coincidentally from my hometown. They insisted that I share a table with them. I didn’t want to intrude but I couldn’t say no either.

We were allotted a table that was really close to the stage. At first, a band began to play some authentic Caribbean music. The restaurants buffet was open and all of us devoured the flying fish and cou cou. The spread was amazing and extremely diverse. The restaurants desserts would make anyone weak in the knees. The band continued to play and before we knew it the MC had announced the show. A whole host of dancers came on stage in their exotic costumes. The explosion of color was offset by the dancers gyrating to the pulsating music. Some more dancers in African costumes joined them.

My favorites were the stilt walkers. They managed to dance, jump, and skip on those stilts. Finally, the limbo dancer pounced on stage. A rod of fire didn’t stop the dancer. At last, the audience was invited to try the limbo without the fire of course. I obviously jumped on stage first to try my first Barbadian limbo. As I was about to go under the rod I felt a shooting pain in my back. That’s when the party ended. Everyone was so concerned about me but fortunately I was fine.

In spite of the fact that I almost played spoilsport at the show, it was definitely one of the most amazing restaurants on my Barbados trip.

July 23rd, 2009 Best Car Deals and Serious Things to Think of when Buying a Car

When purchasing a new or used car, you really need to think about this purchase. When you are in the market of purchasing an automobile, there are a lot of options and choices. The potential car purchaser needs to ask themselves what kind of car they would like, or instead, what kind of car they need – and is it affordable.

There are a few questions you can ask yourself, that will assist in your conclusion in buying a new automobile. Are you searching for a certain “look” or symbol, or do you need it to make your life simpler? Are you going to be utilising it just to get to work, or are you going to be transporting kids around the town? If you have a family, do you need the space that a van would give you? Do you want four wheel drive, or will a two wheel drive car be good enough?

- It’s a great idea to go over your budget and determine what you can spend on transportation every month. Another idea is to consider leasing a car, especially if the cost of owning one is going to be more than ten percent of your net income – so you should check your budget.

- Believe it or not, thousand dollar discounts are usually available with most new car purchases, so you should really try and figure out the target price.

- The new car market is extremely competitive. It’s always a good idea to haggle with the dealerships. And always shop and compare car prices, especially on the internet.

- Remember the sticker price is not the final price. A lot of times, there are a lot of offers that the dealerships have in place that can save you some money on options or upgrades (like audio systems, low financing, etc). And remember to ask what, if any, other options will cost and what the final price will be. These options will sometimes surprise you by how much more they contribute to the cost.

- Trading your car in? Remember to get your own assessment of how much it’s worth now before you take the dealerships first offer.

- You definitely want to go to a few different dealerships to compare prices. You can feel more at ease that you’re not getting ripped off if you’ve done your homework.

When you decide to buy a new or used car, you need to be sensible and practical. It doesn’t matter how great it looks or makes you feel, because you shouldn’t buy it based on emotion. You may regret it later on.

July 23rd, 2009 Internet Lead Generation Purchasing Guide for Insurance Brokers

Insurance underwriters used to spend a nice share of their day cold calling individuals who, a number of times, did not wish to be got hold of. Today, insurance lead generation sites can efficiently supply high quality, prequalified insurance sales leads that are actively looking to purchase an insurance policy. These websites provide an quick and cost efficient way of getting new clients.

Insurance lead companies provide a worthwhile product for brokers seeking a larger client base. These websites first collect data from prospects interested in switching insurance through their own sites. Then, they use the information supplied to match each consumer with local insurance brokers.

There are many distinct insurance sales lead companies, all claiming to have the best leads. How do you figure out which insurance lead company to pick? You should look for a site that can consistently furnish leads with prices that can deliver a good return on investment, a fair billing system and refund policy, a way to filter your sales leads and that the leads are delivered in real time.

To find a good insurance lead company, you should keep an eye out for some certain traits. Quality is most important in realizing a great ROI. The ability to filter your sales prospects so that they only meet your quality specifications is one of the most important factors. The next trait to review at is cost. A $17 lead that becomes a client is worth more than a $4 lead that doesn’t buy a policy. Sometimes you will accept a sales lead you can’t contact. If the insurance lead service doesn’t allow you to return this type of trash lead, then you should think about signin up with another insurance lead company. Similarly, a lot of insurance leadgen companies have a low amount required to prefund your lead account. If the lead company try to charge you a significant amount of money up front, you might be risking too much.

Finally, when selecting an insurance lead company, you should shop around and test the waters of several insurance lead generation websites. Some will be good for auto insurance sales leads while others might send better home insurance sales leads. Using multiple sales lead companies will allow you to also keep your agency protected in case one of the insurance lead service’s volume falls.

July 21st, 2009 Gambling Saloon Card Playing: the Betting Games Gambling Aficionados Enjoying Taking Part in

On the assumption that you haven’t familiarized yourself with gambling saloon odds, do read on.

A valid description of a casino is an edifice that presents betting. Here, aficionados will hopefully enjoy themselves going for one-armed-bandits or trying out alternative gambling games. Betting saloon games most often have logically determined chances incorporated that maintain that the management reserves dominion versus the clients.

A legion of betting hall games can incite you into being habituated swiftly. Let’s examine the classic one-armed bandit, a coin operated gadget with 3, sometimes more drums whirling when a bar on its flank is moved. This instrument by and large renders in correspondence to a set arrangement of motifs observable on the screen of the gadget. Unfortunately, betting house games strive to create the false impression of remaining in control, effectively conning the gaming devotee — the punter is charged with choices, but actually they cannot level the patron’s long term odds. That is due to the gaming room never refunding the full wager as hoped for. This structure is often seen at work in famous casino games like Texas hold’em, dice, roulette or blackjack. Five card stud poker is definitely an immensely trendy casino pastime. The players, studiously guarding their covered cards, will bet in a central pot that is given to the prevailing gamer endowed with highest hand. (As everybody knows, the bluffing hand can win as well!)

casinos online

Not far removed from seven-card stud, blackjack is also a highly popular casino game. An amount of its appeal is grounded in its peculiar mix of luck and intelligence & decision making, not to mention a practice named Card Counting. This is a craft by which betting devotees are in a position to turn the winning odds of the game for their own ends both by wagering and fundamental opetations in correlation to the cards shown.

Craps is a well-known wagering game where punters must wager on the throw of dice. Guests bet on the outcome of of 1 roll, or on a sequence of rolls of 2 dice. Contrary to blackjack, there isn’t any probable winner tactics people could employ to improve the chances.

Roulette is another insanely popular casino gambling pastime: a croupier revolves a roulette wheel featuring a set of thirtyseven (as applicable to French roulette) or thirty eight (as in Vegas roulette) separately numbered compartments in which a rolling ball will eventually settle, which marks the winner and its sequences. When a gamer bets on a number which makes it big so they’re actually successful, the accolade is thirty-five to 1, the wager proper being returned. Thus in totality the initial bet is multiplied by 36.

It’s strongly recommended that you try to be very much alert for all that for all of these casino games are exceedingly dependency forming. There’s far too many lives that have regrettably been wasted as a result of reckless gambling & despite the fact that it can be enjoyable, try to moderate yourself.
