Rarest Words

“Virtual Real Estate Investing” is a relatively new concept. Everything from using the internet as an avenue to make more money in real estate to online games such as SecondLife seem to be included in the popular definition of this term.

To find out the real story, I had a conversation with Bryan Ellis of BryanEllis.com, widely considered to be one of the originators of the concept of Virtual Real Estate Investing.

When I began using the term virtual real estate investing in the late 1990s, I did so because I saw clear parallels between the strategies used for profiting from physical real estate and those that would create income in the online world, said Ellis.

One example of the parallels between virtual and physical real estate Bryan Ellis cites is the similarity between the monetization of domain names versus physical property. He points out that control of a domain name or even a specific web page is much like controlling a real estate property ” those assets can be monetized in similar ways: By selling them for a profit, by leasing them, by offering advertising, etc.

The similarities really are obvious. For example, if you’re the owner of a desirable property, its desirability is (in a business context) largely due to its being in a location that is of interest to others. Likewise, if you own a desirable domain name, others will find value in it because it serves their purposes. Regardless of the type of asset, you can sell or lease or use any number of strategies to turn the assets into cash.

In our next installment of this series on virtual real estate investing, Bryan Ellis will share the internet analogies to the physical concept of real estate development.

General operative Manzar Hussain, was injured while working at Lynwood Products at Hopwood Lane, Halifax. Mr Hussain was emptying some rubbish into a skip while balancing on the forks of a fork lift truck to give him the extra height he needed to reach the top of the skip.

After he fell a container he had been emptying fell on top of him causing him further injury. Mr Hussain had been instructed to separate non-recyclable from recyclable rubbish and dump the non-recyclable waste in the skip.

According to the Health and Safety Executive, in the two years that Mr Hussain had worked at the company he had never received any training or instruction on how to empty rubbish into the skip and had improvised his own way to reach the additional ten feet to the top of the container.

He collected the waste placed it into neither a cage or rubbish container, he then raised the full container or cage by using the fork lift. He then climbed up the fork lift to tip the rubbish directly into the skip.

The company admitted that he had never been shown how to empty rubbish into the skip and had never received any formal training for diving a fork lift truck. The company subsequently received a £12,000 fine when they appeared at Calderdale magistrate’s court.

This kind of incident is all too common. Avoid falling into the untrained employee trap by contacting the training experts Workplace Law and find out about their NEBOSH distance learning course.

I’m all for being organized and planning my days. It’s essential, and most of the time things work out fine. But sometimes, as the song says, life is what happens while you’re making other plans.

Sometimes there are days where, for one reason or another, my plate is overflowing and I absolutely must squeeze the most out of every minute. While I don’t like working like this all the time, I go into power day mode when necessary.

As a kid growing up on Long Island in the ’70’s, I was naturally a big fan of the New York Islanders. During their “dynasty years” they raised themselves from the worst team in the league to four consecutive world championships. Several times during this incredible run, they found themselves facing elimination from the playoffs. The first time they went down 0-3 in a series, it came out that no team had overcome such a deficit since 1942. They had to win 4 straight games against the very team that had just beaten them three games in a row. The odds were against them.

Sure enough, they pulled it off and won the series. Then they went on to win two more seven game series and another championship.

During one of the post-game interviews the coach was asked how he rallied his team in the face of almost certain elimination. He explained, “I told them that from that (4th) game on, we were going to play the game one line shift at a time. Our goal is to win every single line shift

In other words; he divided the 60 minute game into one and a half minute increments. He told his team we must win each one of these mini (minute and a half) games. By doing so, we’ll win the real game. And sure enough, they did.

How does that apply to you? You can divide your day into fifteen minute increments? Then, endeavor to accomplish as much as possible in each fifteen minute section of your day. Stay focused and on track.

Here’s an example. Let’s say you feel like the odometer is running, but your car is up on the block, so you’re getting nowhere. That’s when you need to call a power day. Choose a day and warn anyone around you that you aren’t taking any calls or interruptions on that day. Set up a calendar that is divided into fifteen minute segments. Make a list of all the things you need to power through on that day and place them on the calendar. Don’t stop until you reach the end. Plan ahead to make it successful.

Limit the number of power days you engage in because they can be pretty intense. Be discriminating in your use of Power Days and make the most out of them.

Speed kills in the National Football League - but never forget that this sport is predicated on power. Right now, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Tampa Bay and Cincinnati are each 2-0 and have won their games by an average score of 25-9. What is it that these teams have in common besides an unblemished record? That would be their complete and total dominance along the offensive and defensive lines.

On offense, these teams are completely controlling people up front. Pittsburgh, Indy and K.C. each boast lines with at least two Pro Bowlers on it. Cincinnati was one of only two teams that returned all five of its starters from last year. Tampa Bay - I honestly have no idea how they’re doing it with that line, but it’s working - possesses the NFL’s leading rusher, Cadillac Williams (276 yards). These five teams are muscling their way to an average of 155 yards per game on the ground and have yielded only eight total sacks between them. That outstanding play by the offensive linemen is allowing each of these teams to control the ball and dictate tempo to their opponents.

Conversely, on the defensive side of the ball it’s all about getting after the quarterback for these five. Besides Cincy (two sacks) the other four clubs have notched an average of nearly four sacks per game, with Pittsburgh accounting for 11 and Indy chipping in nine. While household names like Dwight Freeney and Simeon Rice still anchor their units, it’s been the production of players like the Colts’ Montae Reagor and the Steelers’ Aaron Smith that’s really paying dividends.

All of this may seem kind of remedial and trivial, but it’s not. I believe that while it takes a few weeks for the skill players to get in a groove, the pure muscle and strength of players in the trenches is a determinant of early season success. This is important because I think that the teams that have the most stability and performance at their foundations - the offensive and defensive lines - will be the most consistent throughout the season, and stats like the ones I’ve tossed out are good indicators of future success.

Also, popular opinion about NFL clubs - one of the components used to set a line - is determined in part by humans tendency for grandiose delusion, which is the process of attributing inflated worth to someone famous. This is why people are so quick to assume that teams like Minnesota, Oakland and St. Louis are “good” teams because they identify with the stars at more visible positions (quarterback, running back, receiver). But what they fail to realize is that each of those three teams has serious issues on their offensive and/or defensive lines, which leads to them getting pushed around in a game based on physicality.

Anyway, that’s my little five-cent psychology lesson for you. Here are the rest of my Week 2 thoughts:

* Gutty performance by Carolina, which showed why you never abandon the run. While their numbers on the ground (36 carries, 104 yards) are pedestrian, the rushing attack paid off with a perfect 3-for-3 conversion rate in the red zone. A gift touchdown from the referees (one of Stephen Davis’ three scores) didn’t hurt either. The Panthers play Miami, Green Bay, Arizona and Detroit in the next four weeks. Get ready to ride this train.

* It will be interesting to see how the Jaguars respond to their 10-3 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday. They were just 22 yards away from overtime in the RCA Dome, but there was nothing soft or cutesy about what the Colts did to the Jags - they just beat them up. Indy had a drive right out of the 1920’s - a 17-play clock drainer that featured 14 running plays and straddled the third and fourth quarters. Edgerrin James (27 carries, 128 yards) carried the load for the Colts like he was in a contract year or something.

* The Texans have only scored 14 points so far, but they have faced two of the top five ranked defenses in the NFL (Buffalo, Pitt). The offensive line, which has given up 150 sacks since 2001, has already seen David Carr get dropped 13 times (that’s a 104-sack pace for the year), causing Carr to chew them out on the sidelines last Sunday. And do you know who Houston named to replaced departed offensive coordinator Chris Palmer? That’s right, offensive line coach Joe Pendry.

* In Catholicism, Michael is the Angel of Sunday. If that’s so, why is it that just about every NFL head coach named Mike (Tice, Sherman, Martz, Holmgren, Shanahan) is so shady? Buffalo head coach Mike Mularkey is apparently trying to break into that dubious group. I know where he was coming from when he benched J.P. Losman during the fourth quarter of their 19-3 loss at Tampa on Sunday (change of pace, try something new, etc.) but I don’t agree with it. First, Kelly Holcomb would’ve had to have been Jim Kelly in order to lead that comeback. Second, all you’ve done is opened that Pandora’s Box of a quarterback controversy, crushed all the warm and fuzzy feelings that had been built up, and forced Losman to start questioning himself. You’re going to lose games during the season, that’s just the way it is, but the long-term effects of something like this can linger and be much more harmful.

Keeping with the theme, how much longer do you think Sherman and Tice will be hanging around this season? They both just look completely lost on their respective sidelines, and their teams are playing with no kind of direction, purpose or heart. Also, Martz was five yards and seven seconds away from a 0-2 start at the hands of the two worst teams in football. When is somebody going to post odds on which one of these fools gets canned first?

* Donald Trump singing Green Acres at the Emmy Awards was definitely a highlight of the weekend. You could actually see his arms. I didn’t even know he had skin. I thought he was all suit, all the time. Regardless, it was classic.

* Anyone who thought that Kurt Warner was still an NFL-caliber starting quarterback (much less The Savior of a putrid franchise) just needs to go back and watch the last 30 seconds of their game against St. Louis. Up 17-12, the Rams were just begging to give that game away, allowing the Cards to move down to their 5-yard line with time running out. But Kurt Warner was sacked back to the 10, and instead of spiking the ball to stop the clock (he had 20 seconds left) he tried to call a play. The result was a false start by Leonard Davis with seven seconds left, which ended the game.

* I know it’s only been two weeks, but check out the quarterback ratings of these players and tell me who sticks out: Brett Favre (76.1), Peyton Manning (74.7), Kyle Orton (74.4), Joey Harrington (52.3), Dante Culpepper (41.6). If you said Orton you’re not only correct but you’re probably as surprised as me.

The Bears young QB has shown moxie and arm strength, but more importantly he’s shown results. Through two games, the Bears are leading the league in third-down efficiency (oddly enough, they’re tied with Minnesota and Green Bay) by converting 50 percent of their chances. Through all of last season, the Bears managed only 25 percent on third down.

* Why Oakland has made its way to the top of my Stay Away From List: The Raiders are down 23-17 at home to the Chiefs on Sunday night. They’re driving down for the game-winning touchdown with around two minutes left, and have just gained 14 yards on their last two plays - rushes by the bruising Lamont Jordan - to get down to the KC 14-yard line. The Chiefs defense is exhausted. The Raiders have all the momentum. They just need to run right over them, killing the clock along the way, right? Wrong. Incomplete pass, four-yard pass, incomplete pass, timeout, incomplete pass. On fourth-and-six, though they still could’ve gotten a first down inside the 10, they threw a weak lob pass to Joey Porter. They didn’t even go to Moss (forget the fact that they just needed six yards!). Unreal. That was a rookie mistake by Norv Turner and Kerry Collins - two retreads who shouldn’t be making those kind of errors.

* What a complete and total shocker in Dallas on Monday night. The Cowboys absolutely dominated the first 55 minutes, were up 13-0, and had Mark Brunell at third-and-27 with about four minutes to play. Game over, right? Wrong. Brunell pulls two bombs out of nowhere and all of a sudden Daniel Snyder looks like he just won the Super Bowl. Be wary of the effects this loss has on Dallas next week. A game like that can be a season-crippler. Also, that says a lot about the character of this Washington squad. That game may have changed the complexion of the NFC.

* Does anyone else think it might be a bad idea to rebuild the whole of New Orleans back into a major metropolitan area? I mean, just think about the toxic chemicals - oil, gas, feces, pesticides, decaying corpses, etc. - that have been stewing about in that place for almost a month. And the federal government, in all its glory, didn’t even put the Environmental Protection Agency on its list of first responders. Mark my words, all of that stuff is getting dumped back in the water supply and in about 20 years that place is going to look like Venusville from Total Recall.

* So far this season Indianapolis has given up just 10 points in two games. Pittsburgh has yielded 14 points, Chicago 15 and Tampa Bay 16 through eight quarters.

* I’m not sure what the future holds for the enigma that is Seattle, but they smacked around an Atlanta squad that everyone was ga-ga about one week earlier. Seattle has been very good at home (13-3) over the past two seasons, but have had trouble on the road (6-10). I would play them that way until they prove otherwise.

* Minnesota’s game against Cincy was over before halftime. That “retooled” Vikings defense got torched for 337 total yards in the first 30 minutes! Oh, and Culpepper has already thrown eight interceptions (a feat he didn’t accomplish until Week 13 last season) to go with no touchdowns. The Vikings have turned the ball over on 12 of their 24 possessions in 2005, and are the biggest fraud since Dianetics.

* As I’m typing this I’m laughing hysterically at all those guys who benched Donovan McNabb this week thinking he was injured.

* Dagger-Through-The-Heart Play of the Week: I have New Orleans getting 16.5 points as part of a sweetheart teaser. They’re down 27-10 with four minutes left (after John Carney bounced a field goal off the uprights on their previous possession) and Aaron Brooks has them moving down the field. Brooks hits Joe Horn along the sideline at about the six-yard line, and while he tries to stretch for the pylon, he loses the ball. It’s a touchback and the Giants ball. Again, it was like getting kicked in the nuts while watching your girlfriend cheat on you with the guy who just ran over your dog. Only worse. But again, that’s why you don’t bet the Saints.

* When it comes to hamburgers I only have this to say: catsup = good, barbeque sauce = better, A-1 steak sauce = best. No doubt.

* At this point in the season, home underdogs are both 3-2 straight-up and against the spread. Home teams are 23-9 straight up, and 20-12 ATS thus far. Also, the NFC is 2-1 SU and ATS when playing the AFC.

* I’m still not impressed with the Giants (even though Joe Theisman obviously is). Remember, they started 5-0 last year before taking a complete and total nosedive. They have impressed me with their ability to move the ball - but we expected that. The defense is currently ranked 29th in the league and has yielded an average of 370 yards per game. And like I already mentioned, the Saints were seven combined inches from 10 more points.

As we all age, we start to think about a life where we don’t have to punch in the 9 to 5 clock. Though the way things look that time may never come. The government keeps pushing back the retirement age. At the rate things are going, we may have to work until we’re 100 years old. Most people still live check to check and since so many US companies have sent their high paying jobs to other countries, many Americans are having to work two jobs, just to pay the same bills they once were able to pay with one. But for people who may have some money to invest in their future; there are some things they can do.

One of those things is an annuity. An annuity is an investment that pays you back a certain amount of income over a certain period of time. This form of investment is not new. Annuities date back to the Romans. Roman citizens would make a one-time payment into something called the annua and for this they were promised that they would get payments back, over the course of their lives. Even the Middle Ages had an annuity, it was called tontines. The tontines paid an income for life and if one of the policy holders died, then the payments would be shared with the survivors.

Annuities didn’t hit America until the 18th century. A company in Pennsylvania, in 1759, was created to benefit ministers and their families. It took until 1912 before Americans could buy annuities as individuals. Annuities really became popular in the 1930s. On the heels of the Great Depression, people were uncertain about the financial markets. Many people bought annuities from insurance companies during this time, because they felt insurance companies were stable and would be around to pay them.

In the US, annuity contracts are regulated by each state on an individual basis. What this means is that a contract that maybe valid in one state, may not be valid in another. Insurance companies are the only ones allowed to sell annuity contracts in the US. There are two types of annuity contracts, the immediate and the deferred. The immediate annuity will guarantee payments for a certain number of years or for the lifetime of the policy holder. The deferred annuity is allowed to grow and earn interest, without being taxed. Of course, when the policy holder wants to cash-out their annuity, they will be taxed.

It’s been stated many times that most Americans don’t have $250 in the bank. When you consider that most people do work and they’ve most likely been working for years; to have less than $250 doesn’t speak well for their financial situation. The government has been stressing the benefits of saving for years. Probably because they know how messed up the Social Security system really is; and there may be a group of retired Americans who will not get back any of the money they paid in, over the course of their working lives. It’s a big dilemma for poor people. Do you try to save for tomorrow, or pay your rent?

Acid reflux disease, also known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or GERD, afflicts millions of people. Many suffer from an occasional bout with heartburn, but acid reflux disease, as a diagnosis, should only be made if the heartburn causes impediments to your lifestyle due to severe, chronic discomfort over prolonged periods of time. Usually, if you suffer from heartburn 2 or more times per week for at least 12 weeks, there’s a good chance that your diagnosis would be GERD. Unfortunately, no one knows exactly what causes acid reflux disease, but there is an ample amount of information available at your doctor’s office and on the Internet.

The good news is that acid reflux disease is a highly manageable condition, though it can lead to potentially serious, chronic conditions. Many avenues are available with regard to treatment options. The most common options recommended include lifestyle changes, medical treatments, stress management, and/or a combination of all strategies.

What is Acid Reflux Disease?
Acid reflux disease is a chronic condition in which stomach acid washes back up onto the esophagus, causing severe discomfort. Stomach acid burns the esophagus lining due to a relaxed lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The LES acts as a valve between your stomach and the esophagus. The valve is designed to open and allow food into the stomach, and then close, protecting the esophagus from acids. However, if the LES is not closing properly, acid rushes or refluxes upward, coating the esophagus, and causes a burning sensation.

Remember that it’s normal to suffer from acid reflux (heartburn) every once and awhile. It’s only acid reflux disease when it’s a chronic condition, happening frequently and for long periods of time. If you are unsure, don’t hesitate to see your doctor. One more thing to keep in mind is that heartburn has nothing to do with your heart. It just feels that way at times because the esophagus is located behind the heart.

Acid Reflux Info provides comprehensive information on the cause, symptoms, treatment, and diet associated with normal and infant acid reflux. Acid Reflux Info is the sister site of Pain Relief Web.

Choosing truck accessory products can be both fun and functional. Many truck owners use their trucks for their jobs, and therefore they often must carry the “tools of their trade” in their trucks. But for some truck owners, a truck accessory must also make a statement about their personality and their lifestyle. Whether your truck is an “oldie but goodie” or a brand new model, you can find an interior or exterior truck accessory that will enhance your ride and your experience as a truck owner and driver.

A Truck Accessory for the Interior

Are you into the latest technology? If so, you may want to install a GPS system in your truck so you never have to ask for directions or maybe a laser or radar detector so you can keep a watchful eye out. If you are a music fan, if you don’t have a CD Stereo System you might want to invest in one, or another popular truck accessory choice-a satellite radio.

The security of your truck is important as well. You can get custom steering wheel locks that match the interior of your truck, or you can get a tracking device or a car alarm or security system to deter thieves.

The final type of interior truck accessory discussed in this article is the not necessarily practical accessory. You can get a custom steering wheel or steering wheel cover, or seat covers in almost any print or fabric or leather or even beads. You can get custom floor mats or dashboard mats and even a cool gear shift handle.

Truck Accessory Choices for the Exterior

You know that having your truck look good on the outside may be more important than the inside, but there are some practical accessories for the interior that you may find useful-and some of them are designed to enhance the looks of your truck as well.

The bed of the truck is an area where many people spend money on accessorizing with a liner or a tonneau cover. You can also get racks or toppers to hold or protect your equipment if you are a professional who carries things like ladders or tools. A tool box is another accessory that can be built right into the bed of the truck to secure the items you need to transport.

Other exterior accessories include things like grilles, chrome rims or wheels, steps to the cab, or mirrors and even decals.

Another real estate writer’s mini course, full of promises and fluff, ended with a “lesson” on why you need to buy his book so you can finance multiple properties “subject to.” The reason, he said, “because banks won’t let you finance more than ten mortgages.”

This simply isn’t true.

First, banks let you finance as many mortgages as you can pay for. Some banks limit the number of loans made to one person. Experienced real estate investors just move on to another lending institution.

I know one investor who owns more than one hundred single family homes. All have mortgages. He constantly refinances one rental for the down payment to buy the next. Besides living off the cash flow from his rentals, he also refinances a rental occasionally to take his family on a first-class vacation.

Another investor, my friend who owns the carpet company we use for our fixers, owns more than fifty rentals. None were purchased “subject to” the existing loan. Many were purchased “all cash” for quick closings, with mortgages added later.

For beginning real estate investors, looking for an owner willing to sell their property “subject to” the existing loan adds a frustrating component to the search for a profitable property. Today’s savvy home sellers just won’t sell to a buyer who can’t cash them out.

Of course, some investors offer “subject to” and lease-option purchases. But, properties with most of the equity stripped out come with payments too high for rental income to support. These properties make better candidates for owner-occupant home buyers with poor credit who don’t mind paying more for a house.

Beware of “subject to” seminars, books, and promotions. This real estate investing method worked last century.

No plant on earth grows under more stressful conditions than does the goji. It was not surprising when scientists found the little red berry chock full of highly bioactive polysaccharides.

Bioactive polysaccharides are a family of complex carbohydrates that are bound to proteins. They are produced by some plants as an extremely effective defense mechanism against attack against today’s environmental issues and attacks on our bodies. When we eat plants that are rich in polysaccharides, these protective effects are bestowed upon us. Until recent years, scientist had put all polysaccharides together with other carbohydrates such as starches and sugars. They had considered them to be of value only as a source of energy. All that changed when it was discovered that certain types of polysaccharides could cause beneficial changes to the human body.

Four primary bioactive polysaccharides were discovered in Lycium Barbarum (Latin name for goji) named LBP (Lycium Barbarum polysaccharides). These four were named LBP1, LBP2, LBP3, and LBP4.

LBP polysaccharides proved to have exceptional sources of the essential cell sugars (glycoconjugates), rhamnose, xylose, glucose, mannose, arabinose and galactose- that are necessary for proper immune function and cells to communicate. In fact, goji may be the richest source of glyconutrients yet found.

Scientists tested goji berry samples looking for polysaccharide content. They found that there was great variation in levels of LBP’s among the berries from different regions. Berries that are said to be highly effective contain the full range of LBP and not just one or two. Each of the four main polysaccharides has their own distinct benefit. Studies show, for the highest biological activity, all polysaccharides must be present.

Research strongly suggests that goji’s unique polysaccharides work in the body as directors and carriers of cell information and therefore command and control many of the body’s biochemical defense systems.

How can any internet novice make internet profits that continue? Well its simple how can any child learn the alphabet? All of it is learnt step by step, the first step being simply to start! Sounds a little odd to say that but it’s not because most of us have toyed with the idea of making money while we sleep or making money 24-7. How many of us actually have a website let alone an internet income stream? Not many!

When you start out you should do everything yourself! Your online business is nothing yet so you can’t pay someone for all the tech work out of your non-existent internet income stream! You will obviously need to have some time, commitment and little money to start. You need to buy and register a domain name get a hosting account then start to build a basic website.

If you don’t know how to you will need a basic education as to what needs to be done and how. Look at other websites for layouts and ideas, visualise what you want your website to look like and what you are actually going to sell or promote. There are various ways to learn how to get it started; 3 weeks ago I had no idea how to build a web page let alone a website now I own and am in the process of building (albeit slowly) four websites.

I haven’t got my own product yet, one day I may have one, that’s because I have decided to start tapping into one income stream by being an affiliate, that’s where you promote someone else’s products or sites for a commission for every customer they get through your site.

Building an internet business and making internet profits that last will require determination especially initially as you plant your seeds for future profit. The likes of Yahoo, MSN, and Google aren’t the top 3 visiting sites because of what they are doing now - remember it’s not long ago that there was no internet. Google floated on the stock exchange in 2004, the share price has more than tripled! Imagine - the work you do now for your website could result in your very own Google in 10 or 20 years time. Bringing you back down to earth again, you can’t make any profit from the internet without any traffic coming to your site!

Many of the things mentioned here can be learnt for free on various courses online. Without learning there can’t be much earning. So the tip for any internet newbie is to invest time and effort in a free practical course that gets you the basic knowledge and the continue seeking information to help build on that so that you can plant the seeds that create internet profits that last.
