Making Wellness Personal using DNA

Posted by David Hayden on February 21, 2008 at 5:30pm

We have all been looking for an exciting program that we can make money in, and I have found a very promising one. The program is only 2 months old. But the company is a publicly traded company that has been in business for over 14 years.Below is the main link to website called Genewize, and just below it are some supporting sites. My sponsor was recruited into this company by Master Kim of the Kim Brothers Karate Schools. Their group consist of mostly Korean Karate School owners, and MDs from all over the country, and they are running away with this program. I would like to have you look at this and let's figure out how we can take advantage of the momentum that these guys have started.The biggest advantage I see is that the company's nutritonal products are custom tailored just for you. Many people take vitamins and minerals, and drink the many juices (Noni, Mangostein, Goji and others), but they don't know for sure whether they will work for them. In this company, they design organic nutritional products specifically from your DNA sampling. No more hoping and guessing that you are taking the right supplement. Just think about it Custom Tailored Nutrition.Your DNA sampling is taken by rubbing a cotton swab from the supplied kit to the inside of your mouth. It is mailed to the laboratory and analyzed. The results yield a regiment of vegicap supplements that contain an organic garden of natural vegetables, herbs and juices.Next month they are hoping to come out with customized cosmetics, based on DNA. That will be revolutionary, and someone is going to make a lot of money (hopefully us). Please evaluate this information and get back with me as soon as possible. I am just starting to build my group and would like to have you on the top of my binary. The spillover to you will be very rewarding.Best Regards,David Hayden(770) 977-4726www.mygenewize.com/nuprosperitywww.genelinkbio.comwww.onlyyourdna.com

Stanford University Now Offering Free Tuition

Posted by Jim Neusom on February 21, 2008 at 4:41pm

Good Morning Family,(Contact Information At Bottom Of Page)It's your friendly neighborhood "Digital Drummer" again (smile)The story below was edited for spaceial considerations due to text limitations here in online forums and bulletin boards. To read the full story, see The Mercury News (http://origin.mercurynews.com/ci_8314377?nclick_check=1)(San Francisco) Stanford announced Wednesday that beginning next year it will offer free tuition - worth $36,000 a year - to students whose parents make less than $100,000 a year. Joining a trend started by other elite universities such Harvard, Princeton and Yale, Stanford is also eliminating student loans.For low-income youth, Stanford will pick up almost the entire tab for tuition, room and board - a $47,000 value. While the value of a home is still taken into consideration, it will play a smaller role than before. "No high school senior should rule out applying to Stanford because of cost," university President John Hennessy said in a statement.Like its Ivy League rivals, The Farm is ratcheting up financial aid offerings to expand the economic diversity of its student body - and deflect criticism that it is hoarding its $17.1 billion endowment. "If this keeps up, top colleges will soon be offering free shipping and $500 cash back to the first thousand applicants," joked Kathrin Day Lassila, editor of Yale Magazine.The catch, of course, is getting in the door: Last year, Stanford accepted only 11 percent of all applicants. For many of those lucky students, the changes mean that Stanford could be cheaper than state schools. For instance, a youth from a family with an annual Adjusted Gross Income of $55,000 would pay $4,400 to $4,900 a year at UC-Berkeley after scholarships. They'd get a free ride at Stanford. At both campuses, those students would be expected to work.***************(Advertisement)*********************TraVerus Travel - Become a part of the most unique family in MLMTo learn more about free travel visit their websitewww.traverusfaststart.com/yes.htmlOr contact Candy at 702-354-0519to find out about income opportunities******************************************************With next year's changes, Stanford will spend $97.2 million for need-based scholarships, up from the current $76.5 million. It will pay for the changes from its endowment and extra fundraising. Local parents cheered the announcement. They said many average families are caught in the middle - too rich for federal grants but not wealthy enough to absorb rising costs."The elimination of loans is also a good thing, but one that merely catches us up to Princeton and Harvard," said Hyde, from Potomac, Maryland. Throughout the nation, top schools have been seeking ways to end tuition anxiety. Until recently, top colleges offered little or no aid to average families.Three years ago, Harvard waived all costs for families earning less than $40,000 per year. A year later, Stanford and Yale followed suit for all families making up to $45,000. In December, Harvard declared a plan to cut costs for families earning under $180,000. Swarthmore, the University of Pennsylvania and a growing number of other schools are also jumping on the no-loan bandwagon.The jockeying is partly competitive. Elite schools are always strategizing about how to bring in the best students. Even Stanford routinely loses top applicants to UC and private schools with better financial aid offers. But the move is also part of a recruitment campaign: Stanford fears that too many poor, smart students don't get the message that they should apply.Remember we must Share The knowledge (Network)...

Wells Fargo Meets It's Goal To Lend $1 Billion To Black Business

Posted by Jim Neusom on February 20, 2008 at 3:17pm

Good Morning Family,(Contact Information At Bottom Of Page)It's your friendly neighborhood "Digital Drummer" again (smile)Recognizing the vitality of Black small business owners throughout the nation, Wells Fargo & Company said Sunday it has reached its goal, set in 1998, to lend $1 billion to Black business owners nationwide by 2010...two years early. (see https://www.wellsfargo.com/press/021908_AABS_$1B_Release). Even though Wells Fargo has been identified as a major player in the current mortgage crisis, they have not detoured from their corporate goal to support, fund, and empower Black business in America.Wells Fargo is celebrating the achievement this year with a number of events, including screenings of the film, "Two Dollars and a Dream" (written and directed by Stanley Nelson and distributed by Filmmakers Library), about Madame C.J. Walker, America's first self-made millionairess. The film illustrates the history of successful entrepreneurship in the Black community. "Two Dollars and a Dream" was shown February 17 during the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles, and additional screening events are being planned throughout the year across the country."As we celebrate Black History Month, Wells Fargo is proud to recognize the strength and growth of the Black business community," said Brenda Ross-Dulan, senior vice president and regional president of the Los Angeles Crossroads Division at Wells Fargo and national spokesperson for Wells Fargo's African American Business Services program. "Wells Fargo's celebration of this significant lending milestone is a testimonial to the entrepreneurial vision and success of African American business owners."***************(Advertisement)*********************TraVerus Travel - Become a part of the most unique family in MLMTo learn more about free travel visit their websitewww.traverusfaststart.com/yes.htmlOr contact Candy at 702-354-0519to find out about income opportunities******************************************************According to the most recent (2002) U.S. Census data, there are more than one million Black-owned businesses in the U.S., a 45 percent increase over the 1997 census figure. Wells Fargo is committed to the growth of the Black business community and supports Black organizations and activities in the communities it serves. Over the past ten years, the Wells Fargo Foundation has given more than $38 million to community organizations throughout the nation that serve Blacks in America. For the past three years, Wells Fargo has sponsored Tavis Smiley's annual State of the Black Union symposium.Wells Fargo's African American Business Services program provides outreach and education to Black business owners through resources including workshops, seminars, tradeshows, and regional and national alliances. On their website https://www.wellsfargo.com/biz/education/ you will find valuable and informative information on starting and operating a small business. Wells Fargo maintains close relationships with national Black organizations, including the National Black Chamber of Commerce, 100 Black Men of America and the National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA).Wells Fargo is America's #1 small business lender in total dollar volume according to the most recent Community Reinvestment Act data (2006) and the #1 SBA 7a bank lender in total dollar volume. Wells Fargo has loaned close to $35 billion to women, Black, Latino and Asian business owners since 1995.

Greetings & Update from SisterSpeak Online!

Posted by Lisa Peyton-Caire on February 18, 2008 at 6:02pm

Greetings friends!I am just stopping through after a few very busy weeks to say hello. I have been busy and barely able to keep up with emails or my online networks. Besides my regular work, my family and I have been helping with local campaining efforts for Barack Obama in Maryland. As you may know, he won Maryland decisively last week in the Potomac Primary. He also won Virginia and Washington, DC handily to our great delight.We will be watching the Wisconsin primary closely tomorrow--my husband's home state and birthplace of our three oldest children.I had the opportunity to sit next to a Swiss couple at Obama's rally here at the University of Maryland-College Park last week. The couple lives & works in Maryland and write for Swiss news and Vanity Fair Italy. The wife shared that several of their family members and friends in Switzerland, France, and Italy support Barack Obama and want to see him win the Presidency here. They are pulling for him in spirit.I asked her what Obama's appeal was for her and she said "it is something clean, good, and honest about him...I believe that he is sincere and that he can bring change". She also shares in my admiration for Michelle Obama who spoke later that evening in Bethesda, Maryland to a packed house. I was told that she lit the place up and left folks speechless and more convinced that the Obama's are the right choice for the White House.The world is certainly watching.I am interested to know what you all think about Obama, and what folks in your city/town saying. Please share!Lisa

Advertisers Go After The Black Dollar Spending $2.3 Billion

Posted by Jim Neusom on February 18, 2008 at 5:44pm

Good Morning Family,(Contact Information At Bottom Of Page)It's your friendly neighborhood "Digital Drummer" again (smile)Last year Advertisers spent billions chasing the trillion dollars Black consumer market. According to the Nielsen Company (see http://www.nielsen.com/media/2008/pr_080129_download.pdf), spending on media outlets (TV, Radio, Print) that reach Black consumers, for the period of October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007 totaled $2.3 billion dollars. The Black consumer market in the U.S. according to Packaged Facts (http://www.packagedfacts.com/) is expected to top $1.1 trillion dollars by 2012--a nearly 30% jump from past studies.Both studies show that Blacks are behind whites when it comes to utilizing the Internet for information and online purchases. Black are less likely to cite the Internet as a resource for information, or to say that it has taken time away from television or magazine usage, according to the Packaged Facts report. They are also less likely to have made a purchase over the Internet than the general population (26% versus 44%) and prefer to shop in person rather than online..Ad dollars reflected this mind-set in the Nielsen Monitor-Plus study, showing national advertisers targeted traditional media outlets such as Local Radio, Cable TV, and National Magazine. Local radio reported the greatest amount of spending on Black targeted media at $805 million dollars, comprising 35% percent of total spending. Cable TV was second, and demonstrated the largest ad growth with 14.5%. National magazines reported more than $600 million in spending, showing healthy revenue across a number of publications including Essence magazine, American Legacy, King, Giant, and XXL.The rationalization behind these studies shows that advertisers are seeking to reach the Black middle class or affluent Black consumer with annual incomes of $75,000 or more. This small niche market of 2.4 million Black households, account for 45% of the Black buying power. Affluence has affected the Black market to the same degree as the rest of the economy, the rich tended to get richer as the poor got poorer.***************(Advertisement)*********************TraVerus Travel - Become a part of the most unique family in MLMTo learn more about free travel visit their websitewww.traverusfaststart.com/yes.htmlOr contact Candy at 702-354-0519to find out about income opportunities******************************************************In terms of advertising, television still continues to be a main driver for Black purchases, with 42% of Black families having four or more television sets (versus 32% of other households). They also have a less negative view of advertising, with only 18% saying they don't like advertising in general (versus 39% of the general population) and only 15% viewing it as a waste of their time (versus 32% of the general population).Blacks are also more likely to pay for digital cable than the general population (35% to 27%), and are more likely to purchase premium channels like HBO. While Black newspaper readership lags behind the general population (32% versus 39%), those readers are more likely to rely on magazines for information (16% versus 14%) and entertainment (12% versus 10%), and are more likely to believe spending money on magazines is worthwhile (25% versus 19%).With $89.7 million in spending, Procter & Gamble is the largest advertiser targeting Black consumers. McDonald’s is second with $37.7 million, followed by Johnson and Johnson with $36.1 million in total spending for the 12 months October 2006 through September 2007. Collectively, the Top 25 Advertisers spent a total of $681.0 million.Five auto makers are in the top 25 advertisers across all Black media: General Motors ($35.8 million), Chrysler ($28.2 million), Ford Motor Co. ($25.9 million), Nissan Motor Co LTD., ($22.1 million) and Toyota Motor Corp ($21.7 million).Spending for the top 15 product categories across all media reached over $806 million. Not surprisingly the Automotive category has the most spending at $187.4 million, more than double the dollar amount of the number two product category, Quick Service Restaurants at $79.1 million. Motion Pictures is the third highest ad spending product category at $75.4 million.In part because Blacks are more often brick-and-mortar shoppers, they're more influenced by in-store promotions than the general population. They are more likely to visit more stores while shopping, but are less influenced by sales and discounts. And they are more likely to cite themselves as trendsetters and influencers when it comes to buying items.The bottom line of these combined reports show the Black dollar is still strong, even in these bad economic times...and advertisers know it! How much of the Black dollar is being spent in the Black community is a whole other story, but it is good to see national advertisers spending hard dollars on Black media. Hopefully, in the future trends will show more money being spent online with new "Rich Media" (video, music, blogs) developers.Remember we must Share The knowledge (Network)...

Check out the website if you get a chance: http://www.creativewritings-designs.com/Ladies_inspirational_growth.html
