GiveOpp Projects for Global Cause

August 25, 2010

Combining philanthropic model with a business model and generating sustainability and profitability is quite a challenging and innovative thought. The top management at GiveOpp has come up with this idea and has generated quite a buzz.

They are currently receiving many applications for the leadership teams and it certainly opening up a lot of avenues for various people from all walks of life. With a July launch, the organization is still in its infancy but the support and enthusiasm along with collaboration with many non-profit organizations is certainly the bright side of the things.

There is a dramatic culmination of people across various cultures and geographic locations. Many of the projects are humanitarian solutions such as sustainable farms, clean water utilities, medical facilities for the disabled and the terminally ill, educational resources for children from financially backward sections of society, distribution of resources and food to those in need, environmental causes etc.

Most of these solutions help provide a better future and practical solutions to problems we are faced with in the present day. The CEO of GiveOpp Mark Cosby said that most of the members envision a world where every human being for generations to come can have a good quality of life with proper food and home.

This is a good start for those wanting to learn more about GiveOpp:

FTC Finally Sue Acai Berry Sellers!

August 14, 2010

The acai berry is a highly nutritional grape found in the amazon forest of Brazil. It has been a popular ingredient in both native and city dwellers diets for many years because of its great taste and many healthy benefits. Enjoyed as a smoothie or just alone, acai berry is common in Brazil, and now the rest of the world is becoming interested in this multi purpose berry, that both taste good and has many other qualities as a natural supplement to prevent disease and even burn fat.

Unfortunately, unless you have good friends in Brazil, it can be difficult to find this fruit. It is certainly not something you can find in your local convenience market or even supermarket. The problem is that the berry itself spoils very fast and must be frozen very fast (freeze drying) to preserve its qualities for use at a later time.

FTC strikes new blow in battle against Acai Berry Scams

The following news release was posted on the FTC website yesterday. It’s a much anticipated and necessary blow (although very late) in the battle against the plethora of Acai Berry Scams that have been preying on desperate consumers for nearly 2 years now.

The headline does sounds promising, but if you read the news release, you see they are announcing a lawsuit against a SINGLE COMPANY! There are dozens of companies participating in these scams. We do hope the message being sent will scare some others out of the business, but if prior such actions are any indication, we doubt it. Check back next week and we’ll have an update on the repercussions.

Friend Just Told Me About Acai Capsules

July 24, 2010

The other day I was having coffee with a friend. I was saying how I felt like I needed constant coffee just to keep me going most days. My friend said that she had felt the same way until she started taking acai capsules. She said that they gave her a ton of energy naturally and that they helped her to lose some weight as well. That sounded interesting to me, especially since I have been thinking about trying to lose weight recently. I asked her exactly which ones she has been using and I am going to look into them online.

Wonderng if Acai Capsules Could Help Me Lose Weight

I have been trying very hard to lose weight for the past few months. I have lost some weight but I still have some extra weight that I just cannot seem to get rid. I have been looking online for suggestions for what might help me. I am wondering if Acai capsules could help me to lose the extra weight. It seems like everyone who has been using them has been feeling better and losing weight. From everyday people like me to celebrities. I figure if it worked for all of them then chances are it will work for me too.

All you need is a signal booster. But why?

May 16, 2010

There are two type of boosters that are famous these days are these are ones with wire (in building) and the wireless (mobile). Now everybody owns a cell phone and the most irritating moment is that when the signals are out our ongoing calls get dropped. These cell phone signal boosters can be real useful things for the people who travel a lot and often visits those areas which are situated far away from the cell phone towers and where the signal strength is very weak. Sometimes the signals get lost even inside the office building and we are unable to make and receive calls at that place. In building boosters can be really useful at those places and these boosters can also be used at our homes. The cell phone signal boosters for home enable us to make and receive calls at those places of our house where previously we were not able to do so and to use the cell phone at its best.

One of the newest type of boosters available in the market are the iPhone iBoosters, these home cell phone signal booster are specially designed to be used with the iPhone itself. The iBoosters improves the overall functionality of the cell phone as most the applications work with the help of the service provider and with a good signal reception these applications also work very well. This booster is also very easy to install just like the other boosters all you have to do is to put the phone into the cradle and to power on the cradle.

Mila Seed: A LifeMax Product

May 7, 2010

Globally, it is called “Mila”, but some nutritionists and consumers consider it as a Miracle Seed. Truthfully, Mila Seed is a Lifemax product and nowadays it is associated with Dr. Bob Arnot. That is why Dr. Bob Arnot Mila Seed is highly popular in the market. Even after the Mila Seed Scam, the product got some publicity but failed to make an impact. However, ever since it turned into a Lifemax product, it received public attention.

People retain this fallacy that Mila Seed is like other ordinary nutritional products that are easily available in the departmental stores. But Lifemax experts proved that this seed is a mixture of the salvia hispanica L seed (a seed known for its inherent nutritional value). The mixture is a proper blend of washed and micro sliced seeds and the process of optimizing bioavailability increases the nutritional worth of the seeds. Moreover, a head-to-head comparison study also proved that a Mila Seed not only improves the Cholesterol level but also helps in reducing blood pressure.

According to the manufacturers, Dr. Bob Arnot Mila Seed is the only product containing the highest concentration of Omega 3 acids, antioxidants, fiber and proteins. On the whole, it’s an apt product working against the basic health problems.

A Bold Move

Jive, Britney Spears music label, made a bold move and went with britneys album brought forward to beat downloaders. Little snippets of the album were already appearing on some filesharing peer to peer programs and they wanted to ensure her album release before it was downloaded in its entirety on a filesharing program. Whether or not this will help boost album sales, they are not certain, but anything that has to do with the name of Britney Spears these days usually brings much hype. Hype is exactly what her publicist and record label are looking for—-anything to bring attention to her album is fine with them.

High Fiber Acai Boosts Metabolism

March 21, 2010

When I diet, I have to get enough fiber or I end up having some intestinal issues and being bloated. With those low carb diets, I have had to abandon most of them in less than a week because of bowel irregularity and discomfort. I mentioned this to my friend who is a dietitian, and she said that weight loss with acai takes care of those kinds of issues.

She told me about how the naturally high amount of fiber in acai berry would help promote regularity while giving my metabolism a boost. I tried it, and she was right! I have lost weight, and I haven’t had a single problem!

Scam Warning: Julia Miller News 6

March 15, 2010

Everyone has pretty much heard of the acai berry by now, but not many know much about where this Amazon Acai Berry comes from. It was discovered in Brazil a very long time ago actually and the residents of the rainforests or near by would eat them all the time. It was just recently brought to the United States in supplement form, and in foods, and as soon as people learned about the powerful benefits of this fruit, they couldn’t get enough of it! Scientists have run many tests on this fruit and have confirmed it’s powerful antioxidant and vitamin (and amino acids) rich properties. It grows on the top of palm trees in the Brazilian rainforests, but has a very short shelf life so it cannot be sold fresh outside Brazil.
