14 - Essential Criteria For Evaluating A Home-Based Business Opportunity

Given the conditions in the world today it is a wise person who decides to provide for their own personal and financial security... by building a home-based business.

The choices are almost endless... and the business opportunity landscape is strewn with the bodies of those who did not do their home work and due-diligence. Having a sensible list of criteria, upon which to judge any business opportunity, is a much needed commodity... and one which will pay huge benefits in terms of success or failure.

Like you, I am on a constant quest for home based businesses which meet some pretty strigent and specific benchmarks.

Here is my...

14-ESSENTIAL CRITERIA FOR SELECTING A HOME-BASED BUSINESS...

1. Must be global, from day one, with no serious barriers created because of shipping, logistical issues, regulations, etc.

2. Must be totally online where my understanding and comfort with computers enables me to earn unlimited income.

3. Must be in a truly cutting-edge market. One which is on the forefront of its industry... with true technological advantages, and a level of exclusivity both as to form and function. The "unique selling proposition" must be clear and properly defined.

4. Must have a compensation system which allows for massive income from massive results.

5. Must pay weekly... or more often.

6. Must pay through a global ATM/debit card or some other means of instant payment... accessible from anywhere in the world.

7. Must have a customer service system based on a philosophy of excellence and over-fulfilling. (Happy customers are repeat customers).

8. Must have a product or service which has true "universal appeal".

9. Must be priced competitively and represent true value for the end user.

10. Must have sophisticated marketing and management tools that are f`r`e`e (or at very low cost) and are web based.

11. Must have both online and off-line marketing materials that represent the best execution of both copy and graphics.

12. Must generate a positive, gut-level, response that tells you that "this is for me". Your interest and enthusiasm are immediate and you "get it" instantly. If you feel this way... so will others.

13. Must have a company management team which is experienced, ethical, and fair... and the financial strength to overcome any obstacles that may appear.

14. Must have a marketing model which is quickly and inexpensively scaleable to meet rapid growth.

Owning and operating one of the most visited generic network business opportunity websites in the world puts me in a unique position. I am able to evaluate dozens of business opportunities monthly. My list of criteria has evolved over the span of many years. I've watched "deals" come and go. I have learned that whenever I ignore my own criteria I usually regret it.

Not many companies can hold up under the scrutiny of the above listed criteria... the ones who do have a huge lead on any competition... and represent a solid foundation for long term success.

Steel Building Prices - The Cheapest, The Best? Not Necessarily

Comparing the pricing bids of steel buildings can be a confusing decision for any company in need of steel buildings. Different steel building company offer different pricing options for the same requirement. And, generally, the most common tendency is to choose the cheapest i.e. the lowest price building. But is this always the wisest choice? It might not be!

For example, a price quote for a steel building may not include insulation. However, if you live in a part of the country which requires wall and roof insulation because of weather extremes, you will have to pay extra get the insulation done if you choose the one which does not offer it in the complete package. Consequently, the price of the steel building escalates far beyond the price we originally budgeted. Therefore, when you select a low price steel or metal building, find out what you are receiving with the price and then allow for the additional costs to meet your requirements. Also, you should take care that building quality is not compromised under the lowest price.

Many people choose so-called economy buildings that are offered by some steel building manufacturers and suppliers. What we need to consider is the thinness of the metal, since many times these thinner metal buildings do no come painted at the price it is sold out. Painting with Siliconized Polyester paint (which is recommend) is an added expense. Not only this, for related accessories like, a roll-up door, a walk door, and a window, we need to analyze if these are included in costs.

Freight costs or Shipping Costs are yet another item to consider when purchasing a steel building. Some steel building company hide the price of freight by quoting your total building price as a delivered price. Request that the building manufacturer or supplier isolate the delivery or the shipping cost so you can determine whether it is a competitive rate. The bottom line is that the price of a building does not necessarily include the cost to transport or ship it to the worksite.

Another thing to make sure is that the company you are considering steel building prices includes these important papers and not as an expensive add-on. These documents are essential to getting your local building permit and supplying your foundation engineer the correct information in order to lay a proper concrete slab for your structure. Having to go to a third party to obtain this documentation can be expensive.

Considering all the preceding steps in the development of your new steel building, before you purchase the cheapest one, determine if it will be a cost-savings or expensive venture in the long run.

Mesothelioma: Symptoms of Mesothelioma Cancer

The most common Mesothelioma symptoms are shortness of breath and pain in the chest. These symptoms occur due to a buildup of fluid in the pleura, what is known as Pleural Mesothelioma. However the symptoms of Peritoneal Mesothelioma include weight loss, abdominal pain and swelling due to an accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity.

Peritoneal mesothelioma may include other uncomfortable symptoms too, such as bowel obstruction, blood clotting abnormalities, anemia and fever.

However these symptoms can appear before if malignant cancerous cells have spread beyond the mesothelium to other parts of the body, and other symptoms such as trouble swallowing, pain, and swelling of the neck or face may appear.

Mesothelioma or other less serious conditions may caused these symptoms, therefore the importance of going to a doctor if you feel any of these symptoms, because only an expert like him can make a correct diagnosis.

Mesothelioma cancer rate has increased over the past 20 years and although this disease is not as common as other cancer pathologies, the number of new diagnosed cases in the United States has risen up to 2,000 per year.

According to experts the major risk factor for developing Mesothelioma lies in working with asbestos, so if you are a asbestos worker remember following the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommendations in order to reduce your risk.

Signs of Newborn Constipation and Tips on Alleviating it

When we brought our twins home from the hospital, we felt equipped for anything. One thing we were not prepared for was a problem with newborn constipation. We didn't know a lot about it and we were under the impression that it wasn't a "normal" phenomenon since our friends and family members all expressed that they had never had a problem with it in their children. To our relief, we found out that newborn constipation is actually occurs on a regular basis, with about 50% of newborns to toddlers experiencing constipation at least once.

One of the trickiest things about newborn constipation is recognizing the signs and symptoms. While an older child can express that he having trouble going to the bathroom and that it hurts, we as parents have to be aware of the way newborn constipation affects our babies so that we can catch it early. Newborn babies that are less than 4 weeks old typically have anywhere from 8-10 bowel movements every day. This significantly decreases by the time they are 4 weeks old to about 4 bowel movements every day. Your child might have more or less, but you will likely notice a pattern. If your newborn does not have a bowel movement for a day or to or if you notice significant difficulty in passing stool such as straining, crying, bleeding or a hard stool, they likely have newborn constipation.

It is always good to report this immediately to your child's pediatrician immediately to let them know. There are some natural things you can do to help alleviate newborn constipation. If you notice that they are straining, you can pull there knees up to their chest or hold them in an upright position with their knees bent. Breast fed babies typically have less problems with newborn constipation. If you are breastfeeding, try adding more feedings. If you are bottle feeding, trying using a different type of formula and adding a bottle of just plain water once every day. Bathing your child helps them relax, which in turn helps them go to the bathroom, so a luke warm bath is also recommended to help with infant constipation.

If you are looking for a cure for infant constipation, you need to realize that there are plenty of things that you can do to help your baby without going straight to medicine. There are natural remedies and subtle schedule changes that can help alleviate infant constipation.

Was Your Ovarian Cancer Misdiagnosed?

As many as 30,000 U.S. women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year. In 2006, between 15,000 and 16,000 women are likely to die from this silent killer. Ovarian cancer is the 5th leading cause of death among women, and it is responsible for about five percent of all cancer deaths. Chances are your doctor may have misdiagnosed you. That is often the case. A recent British study found 60 percent of all U.K. general practitioners had misdiagnosed their patients.

Three-quarters of British doctors surveyed incorrectly assumed that symptoms only occurred in the late stages of ovarian cancer. Based upon that information, it should be no surprise that Britain has one of the lowest survival rates for ovarian cancer in the Western World of 6,800 cases diagnosed each year, more than 4,600 die.

A similar discovery was made by University of California researchers, who announced last year, Four in 10 women with ovarian cancer have symptoms that they tell their doctors about at least four months and as long as one year before they are diagnosed. According to their study of nearly 2,000 women with ovarian cancer, the researchers discovered physicians:

First ordered abdominal imaging or performed gastrointestinal procedures instead of the more appropriate pelvic imaging and/or CA-125 (a blood test that can detect ovarian cancer).

Only 25 percent of patients, who reported ovarian cancer symptoms four or more months before diagnosis, were given pelvic imaging or had CA-125 blood tests.

Patients with early symptoms are frequently misdiagnosed. Abdominal imaging or diagnostic gastrointestinal studies are less likely to detect ovarian cancer. According to the American Cancer Societys website, The most common symptom is back pain, followed by fatigue, bloating, constipation, abdominal pain and urinary urgency. These symptoms tend to occur very frequently and become more severe with time. Most women with ovarian cancer have at least two of these symptoms.

By the time a woman reaches the fourth stage of ovarian cancer, her first-line treatment is often Carboplatin, Paclitaxel and Cisplatin as the specific chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. In the first stage, cancer is contained inside one or both ovaries. By stage two, the cancer has spread into the fallopian tubes or other pelvic tissues, such as the bladder or rectum. When the cancer has spread outside the pelvis area into the abdominal cavity, especially when tumor growths are larger than two centimeters on the lining of the abdomen, then ovarian cancer has reached stage three. The fourth and final stage of ovarian cancer is reached when the cancer has spread into other body organs, such as the liver or lungs.

If detected early, survival rates can be as high as 90 percent. Detected in the advanced stage, the survival rate falls to between 30 and 40 percent. Various imaging tests such as computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and ultrasound studies can confirm whether a pelvic mass is present. A laparoscopy can help a doctor look at the ovaries and other pelvic tissue to in order to plan out a surgical procedure, or to determine the stage of the ovarian cancer. A biopsy, or tissue sampling, would confirm if there is cancer in your pelvic region, and would help determine how advanced it is. An elevated CA-125 blood test typically suggests the cancer has progressed to the advanced stage.

About 50 percent of ovarian cancer patients are already at an advanced stage by the time a correct diagnosis is made. Only 10 to 14 percent of women with advanced cancer are likely to survive more than five years.

Evaluation of Therapies

While research shows drinking black (or green) tea or taking the herbal supplement gingko biloba may be useful, as a preventative measure, or to reduce risk, a woman has few choices when her cancer has moved to the advanced stage. In the first stage, a woman faces surgical removal of the tumor, and possibly one or both ovaries, to increase her chances of survival. Beyond that, her choice is chemotherapy.

One major problem with chemotherapy is the side effects. The more advanced the cancer, the weaker one may be, reducing the survival rate potential. Survival rates have not changed very much over the past fifteen years. Chemotherapy can increase survival time by as much as 50 percent. But, quality of life suffers. The side effects and increased toxicity, accompanying chemotherapy, reduce how one spends the prolonged survival time.

Some of Paclitaxels minor side effects, as reported by Medline Plus, may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, change in taste, thinned or brittle hair, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, changes in the color of nails, and/or tingling in the hands or toes. More serious side effects may include mouth blistering or fatigue. Some alarming side effects could include unusual bleeding or bruising, dizziness, shortness of breath, severe exhaustion, chest pain, or difficulty swallowing. The most common side effect of Paclitaxel is a decrease of blood cells.

Carboplatin has its own list of side effects. It can reduce platelet production, which can interfere with your bloods ability to clot. You may become anemic, feeling tired or breathless. Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and a general feeling of weakness are common with this chemotherapeutic agent.

The latest breed of drugs, such as Eli Lillys Gemzar, are hardly getting praise. On March 10th, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it was skeptical of the benefits Eli Lillys Gemzar, which was being used with Carboplatin to treat ovarian cancer patients. The FDA felt the 2.8 months increased survival time, provided by the Gemzar/Carboplatin combination failed to offset the treatments increased toxicity.

In January, the New England Journal of Medicine reported on a remarkable new delivery system of chemotherapy, called the intra-abdominal, or intraperitoneal, chemotherapy. Those who received the belly bath as it is now being called by the media can survive 16 months longer than those receiving intravenous chemotherapy. The major drawback is that 60 percent of the women in the study were unable to complete all six cycles of this chemotherapy. Those who did survived longer, but only two in every five women were able to advance to the end phase of the therapy.

One novel approach, now in Phase III trials at more than 60 research centers across the United States, is OvaRex MAb, a murine monoclonal antibody, a type of biotech drug derived from mouse cells. It is being tested by highly regarded United Therapeutics, based in Silver Springs, Maryland. Their lead drug Remodulin, an injection which treats pulmonary arterial hypertension, is currently being marketed inside and outside the United States. More than $32 million has been spent researching, and on the development of, OvaRex and may have it available on the market by 2008.

OvaRex was developed in Canada by a company called ViRexx Medical Corp, and first tested in that country. According to Dr. Lorne Tyrrell, Chief Executive of ViRexx, The whole study has been set up with the FDA. This is a study where the drug has been given fast track approval and orphan drug status. Dr. Tyrrell is also on leave (until OvaRex become commercially available) as a Professor of Medical Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Alberta, and Director of the National Centre of Excellence for Viral Hepatitis Research.

OvaRex was tested in Canada, prior to the current Phase III trials in the U.S. There have been a number of patients that have received OvaRex, said Dr. Tyrrell, Weve had really no adverse effects from these patients. Dr. Tyrrell explained the procedure, After being injected intravenously, OvaRex binds to an antigen circulating in the blood. An antibodys general purpose is to neutralize an antigen. After an OvaRex injection, the murine monoclonal antibody binds to the CA-125 antigen.

In a way the body is tricked. But, the body is tricked in order to help save itself from the harmful antigen. When the OvaRex antibody is bound to the CA-125 antigen, the new combination is identified as a harmful unit. Before then, the antigen wanders through the body, without alerting the bodys defense systems, the dendritic cells, to attack and destroy the harmful antigen. Because the body is trained to identify and zero in on a foreign protein, in this case a mouse protein, it alerts the dendritic cells. Until then, the dendritic cells tolerate the cancerous cells. The tolerance is what permits the cancer to spread throughout the body. OvaRex seeks to break that tolerance. The murine monoclonal antibody is designed to target and bind exclusively to free floating CA-125 antigen.

The dendritic cells refuse to tolerate the foreign protein. When the antibody binds with the free-floating antigen, the dendritic cells recognize the complex (antibody plus antigen) as being foreign and engulf the new unit. The dendritic cells break down the key proteins of this unit, presenting all parts on the cells surface. At the point, the bodys killer T-Cells are alerted to fight the internal threat to the body. Once activated, the T-Cells will replicate and create more killer T-Cells. Any tumor cells expressing the CA-125 antigen is targeted for destruction. The army of T-Cells move to attack the ovarian cancer tumor.

The principle behind OvaRex is to re-program the immune system to harness the bodys defenses to prevent the growth and spread of the ovarian cancer. Will it cure ovarian cancer? In most cases, it will be a delay, explained Dr. Tyrrell. However, I think that, and everyone hopes that, often in some of these tumors, youre making incremental progress through careful clinical trials and adding new therapy. Each thing we do that improves the outcome when you start to look at the long term benefits of these, we hope that one day we will be able to cure this disease. We think this is a step. This has the potential to be an important step at helping to stimulate immune response to achieve a better outcome. Hopefully, one day we can improve that to where it is a cure.

Headsets Are Meant For The Fast and Furious

In this increasingly hectic lifestyle, we need and develop equipments that match our pace and help us function effectively. We can not afford to slow down, due to malfunctioning equipments or lack of resources. And therefore, we make space for better quality and advanced devices and gadgets that help us perform better and therefore live better.

One such device, invented for the benefit of today's go getters, is the phone headset. The phone headset is a path breaking innovation that has provided us that one thing which we crave for the most Freedom. Headsets free our hands, when we speak over the phone, so that we can make better use of our hands. Now you don't have to keep one hand engaged for no good, while you wish to speak to someone.

There are immense benefits of headsets, and they are best understood by those who are hard pressed by time. Headsets prove their worth when we are driving, cooking, or doing any activity which requires both our hands. Imagine you have a client on phone and you need to type into your laptop or your desktop keyboard. Would keep disturbing your important client, by making them hold the line, while you type in the information provided? That would be too unprofessional, isn't it? With Headset, you can now type with both the hands while speak to your clients, at the same time.

There are various brands that offer quality headsets like Plantronics etc. Being popular brands, they offer tacit or said guarantee on the quality of their devices. Purchasing branded headsets, has its own benefits. Not just superb quality, you also get great features and better ergonomics. Some of the common features include Bluetooth, enhanced talk time and stand by time etc..

You can get quality headsets from leading online stores. However, you should buy them only from sites that guarantee safe shopping.

Best Way to Lose Fat and Get Toned

The majority of people who start to workout have one goal in mind. They want to lose fat. Now, there are a number of options when beginning a workout program, but which of these will give you results the fastest.

When most people think of losing fat, they think that they need to head to the gym and only use the cardio machines and start burning calories. But I wouldn't recommend that.

First off there have been studies shown that extended periods of cardio may train your body to store fat better. You do not want this to happen. This does not mean you should ditch cardio, you just should not make it the focal point of your workout program.

When you are do cardio, there is research that has just shown you should do two shorter lengths cardio workouts to burn more fat. For instance, 30 minutes of cardio followed by 20 minutes of rest and then 30 minutes of cardio burns more fat than 60 minutes of cardio. This is because your body uses your fat for the beginning of your workout and then transitions to glucose from carbs in the later stages. You should try to do this 2 - 3 times per week.

The other point of your workout should be an interval strength circuit. This has many advantages. You build muscle, burn fat, and maximize your time spent at the gym. With interval strength training you get results faster if your goal is to lower body fat percentage.

A circuit will have you move from station to station with minimal rest (0 - 30 sec depending on your fitness level). You will alternate the body parts used in each station so that you do not work the same body part twice in a row. Your circuit should work the whole body ensuring legs, back, and core are not left out.

Do this 3 - 4 times per week and combine with cardio sessions and a high protein diet plan and you will shred your body fat.

How to Keep Your Kids Busy if You Really Need to Get Some Work Done!

We all got into this with the image in your head of us sitting on a computer, or talking on the phone, while our little ones are happily and quietly play with their toys under our desks. That may happen every once in a blue moon, but usually, when you really need to get something done, your kids all of a sudden demand your undivided attention. Here are a few ideas on what to do with your kids when you really need to get something done.

1) Trade play-dates with other moms in your area. One afternoon the kids play at your house, the next at hers. You get the idea. Not only does this help you out on the days that they are at someone elses house, but also on days that they are at yours. Youll be amazed at how much more you get done, when they are keeping each other company.

2) Check with the churches and daycare centers in your area. Some of them provide a mother day off program once a week. You can leave your child in a safe place for a few hours, while you run some errands, work on a deadline or make your important calls without interruption.

3) Create a stash of toys and movies that you only bring out in work emergency. Since these are new to your child, it should buy you at least a little uninterrupted work-time.

4) Create a play area within sight of your work area. Youll get a lot more done if you dont have to jump up and run all the time to make sure your kids are fine.

5) Kids love to help and imitate you. Create a little work area for them. A small table and chair next to yours can be their desk. You may want to keep some paper and crayons handy. If they have a leap-pad or one of the toy laptops, keep it at their desk and they can come to work with mommy.

6) If your child is old enough have them help you by stuffing envelopes, filing papers, reorganizing your desk drawer. Encourage them to write an article for you, or teach them some basic html and have them create a personal or family website. Draw on your experience in your wah job or business and get them involved.

7) Trade Time OFF with your spouse. If he takes the kids to the park, while you get some work done, youll keep them busy later, so he can wash the car, change the oil, watch a ballgame or whatever else your significant other likes or needs to do without the kids.

8) Just ask your kids to give you some time to work. Offer to take them to the park, the Mall, Chuckey-Cheese, or wherever else they like to go once you get your stuff done. Then make sure you follow through, or this wont work the next time.

9) If everything else fails, ask Grandma, or friend or neighbor you trust to watch your kids for a few hours. If you use this only once in a while theyll be glad to spend some time with the kids.

Try to plan ahead as much as you can and get work done while your kids are in school, taking a nap or at night after they have gone to bed. Days that you have to fall back on these tips should be the exception, not the rule. If you find yourself falling back on them almost every day, you may want to consider rearranging your schedule, cutting back on the amount of work you are doing, or, if you can afford it, get a in-house nanny for a few hours a day. A more cost effective solution would be to hire a teenager to keep your kids busy for a few hours after school in your house. Look at your options and decide what works best for you and your family.

Transcribing Dermatology Dictation

Most dermatologic diseases respond well to topical drug therapy. There are mild cases of skin diseases like acne, psoriasis, and poison ivy that can be successfully treated with topical agents.

Acne drugs consist of various creams, lotions, and gels to apply topically. These drugs act to cleanse away oil and dead skin, to close the pores, to inhibit the growth of skin bacteria and kill skin bacteria.

Some prescription antibiotics used topically to treat more serious cases of acne vulgaris include:

Cleocin T, clindamycin
Meclan, meclocyline
Topicycline or tetracycline

Severe cystic acne that is unresponsive to antibiotic treatment may be treated with topical tretinoin (Retin-a), which is a form of vitamin A.

Acne rosacea is an adult form of acne not caused by excessive oil but exacerbated by heat, stress, and skin irritation. It is treated with metronidazole (Metro-Gel).

Various topical agents are used to treat psoriasis and include coal tar lotions, gels, and shampoos that cleanse away dead skin and decrease itching. Trade name products include:

Balnetar
Denorex
Estar
Tegrin
Zetar

Contact dermatitis, poison ivy, insect bites, seborrhea and eczema are treated with the use of topical corticosteroids both over-the-counter and prescription. Some common over-the-counter and prescription generic and trade name topical corticosteroid agents are: amcinonide (Cyclocort), betamethasone (Diprosone, Uticort, Valisone), clocortolone (Cloderm). The endings sone, -olone, and onide are common to some generic corticosteroids.

Common laboratory tests and surgical procedures found in dermatology dictation include:

Biopsy, excisional, which is a complete excision or removal of a skin lesion with some adjacent, normal-appearing tissue also removed for comparison
Biopsy, incisional, is partial removal of a lesion by making an incision into the lesion and removing a section of it as well as some adjacent, normal-appearing tissue for comparison.
Biopsy, punch is removal of one section of a lesion using a sharp instrument known as a punch
Bx is the abbreviation for biopsy
Intradermal test is the injection into the intradermal layer of the skin of a chemical or other type of substance known to produce an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals.
KOH test: KOH (potassium hydroxide) and methylene blue dye are applied to scrapings from the skin to detect under microscope the presence of a fungal infection.
Skin scrapings are removal of a thin layer of skin cells by lightly scraping the skin with a scalpel and placing the cells on a slide for examination under the microscope after they have been stained.

The medical transcriptionist transcribing medical dictation in a dermatology office or hospital will encounter many of these terms.
