Estate program Tuesday, July 21, 2009 What if you could design your DREAM program? What would a PERFECT internet business look like? Maybe something like this: * One time entry, no more out of pocket expense - ever. * Product is top of the line quality. Something everyone can use and that many NEED and/or WANT badly. No pills, lotions or potions! * Produces lifetime residual income. * Pays you every month, starting your first month. * No selling, unless you want to. * A business/product you aren't ashamed of sharing or worried about selling to people. * Extra weekly paychecks if you do make sales. * Neither a MLM or a Pyramid scheme. Just watch the presentation and then decide, even if you don't like it, you've only wasted about an hour of your time, but I think you will be as impressed as I was! Grab a cuppa and watch the one hour business presentation of a company that fits this description HERE: Watch this http://www.icfworldhomes.com/member_presentation.htm Browse also here http://w ... |
Products that choose buyers and not the opposite Tuesday, March 24, 2009 My Dear Friend, I noticed you staring at me on www.jdv-invest.com and you too caught my eye. I realize we are numerous as well as exceptional on this exceptional site and may blur your choice. But...Didn’t you notice me, because I must admit, I feel for you right away. I was just thinking what a great idea It was to be on this site and talk about myself because www.jdv-invest.com allowed me to attract your attention and possibly arrange to meet sometime soon I can’t believe it. Excuse me for my enthusiasm. This may seem direct but the attraction is so strong… Above all, It didn’t cost a cent because you can become a member free of charge and the announces are free too! I know you fell for me and believe me it’s reciprocal. But don’t wait too long because I won’t be here forever, only a few more months and after that it will be too late. I will have disappeared.

21st Century Governance Principles Network Update Tuesday, March 17, 2009 Since launching the 21st Century Governance Principles knowledge sharing network last month on both LinkedIn and Ecademy, there has been insightful and thought provoking discussions and news. Highlights include: CSF Thought Leader Jack Rockart joins 21st Century LinkedIn Chapter Jack Rockart, who is a Senior Lecturer Emeritus at the MIT Sloan School, has been credited with what has been referred to as “seminal IT” concepts, which include Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and Executive Support Systems (ESS). One of my personal favourite pieces was his response to a question posed in the March – April 2000 issue of Harvard Business Review which asked “Are CIO’s Obsolete?” I would like to invite you to take advantage of the opportunity to interact with Jack directly, starting with checking out the question that was recently posted in our group on the continuing relevance of CSF.

Procurement Insights Readership To Hit 500,000 Tuesday, January 20, 2009 To begin, I would like to thank you for being a regular reader/subscriber of the Procurement Insights Blog in 2008. As you know, we launched the Procurement Insights Sponsorship Program in July of last year, and have seen a tremendous response from both a growing syndicated readership - we will likely hit the 500,000 monthly syndicated subscriber mark in 2009 - as well as the diversity of sponsors from around the globe. I would encourage you to check out our updated sponsors page at; http://procureinsights.wordpress.com/our-sponsors/ In the meantime, and as I am sure you understand, I am always eager to expand our sponsorship base. As such, can you provide me with three introductions to organizations that you feel would benefit from the sponsorship program? Thank you for your consideration. Best Regards, Jon Procurement Insights Welcomes our newest Sponsors: Emptoris Inc., Perfect Commerce, Certify, BC Compliance LLC, Corporate United and Buyers Meeting Point |
Brisk International Sales of White Paper on PS Procurement - Here's Why! Friday, October 24, 2008 Yes Virginia!: A Profile In Excellence from critically acclaimed author and speaker Jon Hansen (see executive comments at the conclusion of this e-mail), will deliver groundbreaking insights such as: Why the greater the level of involvement from IT and Finance Departments proportionately decrease the likelihood for procurement initiative success. Why public sector shared services programs are really outsourcing contracts that may actually represent the initial steps towards privatizing the public sector procurement practice. Why the Commonwealth of Virginia initiative successfully evolved through changes in government (including 3 different Governors) to become a truly non-partisan program. Why the new pricing models for software and consulting services represent what may become insurmountable barriers of transition for tier one vendors such as Oracle and SAP. Why sound public sector procurement policy and practice plays an increasingly pivotol role in domestic economic viability in the emerging ... |
The Power of Insight (Procurement Insights Sponsorship Program) Wednesday, September 17, 2008 Jon and his Procurement Insights Blog offers a unique and unbiased differentiation than the other blogs in the procurement/sourcing/supply-chain market. His writing style is unique and his ability to draw attention to multiple sources of information and reference materials for each piece he writes is second to none. As a sponsor of his Blog, Jon as so far delivered on every promise he made, including an expert unbiased view into our business, with a unique perspective that actually helped us to modify our own sales pitch.

Shah Peerally Law Group PC. - Immigration & Nationality Laws Thursday, July 31, 2008 I have been connected to Shah Peerally for over 1yr. During that time I have directed a number of my contacts to his firm. These contacts were looking to immigrate to the US and/or Canada. To date they have been successful in every case that I am aware of. I am recommending Shah Peerally Law Group PC. It is a Professional law corporation headquartered in Fremont CA practicing exclusively Immigration & Nationality Laws. Their office presently handles more than 600 cases including representation of more than 100 corporations. With a team of three attorneys and 5 legal assistants, their work is commended by clients ( see testimonials http://www.peerallylaw.com/en/index.php?option=com_content&task=category§ionid=8&id=33&Itemid=81 ).

They have also won a number of deportation and family petition cases. The law firm has had a 100% success rate so far with ... |
Targeting collaboration opportunities in video content creation Wednesday, July 23, 2008 Ottawa, July 23, 2008 ... the opportunity relates to a GeorgiaTech-Venture Lab company currently funded by grants that specializes in the deployment of video quality measurement and video enhancement solutions. It provides accurate estimates and diagnostics of video quality: both in a global fashion (Mean Time Between Failures/Artifacts or MOS scores) and in granular detail (nature and strength of compression and network artifacts). In spite of being a no-reference measure that does not need a comparison to the source video, its video quality metric, termed AVQ, has been shown to have a strong correlation with actual subjective scores, with these correlations approaching or exceeding the performance of full- and reduced- reference metrics. The no-reference feature, together with scalable computing, permits the use of AVQ in any part of the video distribution chain. The company is currently testing a real-time beta product with leading players in the video distribution industry in the US. It is also interested ... |

Meet the Flintbox: A Canadian IP resource Thursday, January 24, 2008 No matter how innovative the idea, it can be difficult to drum up the partner to commercialize it, but intellectual property matchmaking system Flintbox is working with an industry association to bring ideas and money together. The Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance (CATA) recently announced it is offering free Flintbox accounts for a year to all its members. “Canada is sorely lacking in the ability to commercialize well,” CATA vice-president Barry Gander said. “Now, with CATA, Flintbox can plug into CATA’s membership.” For more details: http://www.itworldcanada.com/a/Daily-News/3d9ccb5b-3942-4e46-9350-e0578fc0788f.html |
