			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>The following segment aired on <a href="http://incrediblediscoveries.net/">Incredible Discoveries</a> on Lifetime Television. Joining Incredible Discoveries was Iampur </em></strong><strong><em>to discuss Iampur Relief</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Incredible Discoveries on Lifetime Television Guest: Phil Hudson</strong></p>
<p><strong>Incredible Discoveries on Lifetime Television: </strong>One out of every three adults has arthritis or joint pain, and it can ruin your daily life. There is a smart, natural solution to deal with this<br />
on-going pain problem &#8211; Iampur- relief. As seen on Incredible Discoveries, Iampur-relief was professionally formulated to provide fast-acting and long-lasting pain relief, so you can enjoy life to the fullest. It&#8217;s that simple.</p>
<p>To relieve your aches, you simply apply Iampur-relief directly to the site of pain, and the natural ingredients will produce an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. Iampur-relief starts working very quickly, but the effects are also very long-lasting. Incredible Discoveries gives you a chance to free yourself from the burdens of your pain. You don’t have to suffer anymore. Incredible Discoveries proudly introduces Phil Hudson, an award winning compounding pharmacist and product co-creator from the company, Iampur.</p>
<p><strong>Incredible Discoveries:</strong> Virtually anyone that is suffering from pain can benefit from Iampur, guaranteed. If you&#8217;re one 65 million Americans that suffer from arthritis or joint pain, you can finally free yourself from aches and pains. Iampur-relief reduces swelling and relieves pain with a natural, topical cream. You can be pain free in three minutes, guaranteed.</p>
<p><strong>Hudson:</strong> The secret to Iampur-relief&#8217;s pain relief is the natural ingredients: wintergreen, camphor, and menthol. These ingredients are easily absorbed into the skin to interact with nerve fibers, which in turn, block the transmission and perception of pain. MSM, glucosamine and sea buckthorn extract are natural anti-inflammatories that reduce joint swelling and pain. A proprietary blend of omega EFA oils, rich in essential fatty acids is included, which aid the body in fighting inflammation. Iampur-relief has an immediate effect of relieving your pain. Simply apply Iampur-relief to any joint or muscle, and begin to feel the effects within three minutes.</p>
<p><strong>Incredible Discoveries:</strong> How can you be so confident as to make that claim?</p>
<p><strong>Hudson:</strong> Because Dr. Burke and I have 50 years of combined medical and clinical experience, and that&#8217;s what&#8217;s gone into the development of Iampur-Relief.</p>
<p><strong>Incredible Discoveries:</strong> Iampur-relief is an incredible topical cream that works immediately and directly at the source of your joint or muscle pain.</p>
<p><strong>Hudson:</strong> Absolutely.  This is great for people with arthritis, osteo or rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, joint pain, muscle soreness, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sports injuries.</p>
<p><strong>Incredible Discoveries:</strong> Again, a pharmacist and a medical doctor designed Iampur-Relief to not only relieve your aches and pains, but also to help eliminate oral medications and get directly to the site of the pain. Let&#8217;s just look at back pain for a moment.  Over 70% of Americans will have experienced back pain in the last 6 months or will in the next 6 months begin to experience back pain.</p>
<p><strong>Hudson:</strong> That&#8217;s right. Over the counter medications contain aspirin or ibuprofen. They can have very significant side effects and they&#8217;re printed right on the bottle. Prescribed medications, as well, can produce side effects, so if you&#8217;re taking both of these medications every day, you&#8217;re even more likely to have long-term side effects. Dr. Burke and I formulated the Iampur-Relief in a proprietary rapid release base. That&#8217;s why it delivers the active ingredients directly and rapidly to the site of the pain or inflammation.  And that means that one feels immediate relief.</p>
<p>With oral medications, you have to wait for absorption and digestion to occur, and that can take 20 minutes, maybe even an hour before you actually start to feel any positive effects.  Additionally, because those oral medications are circulating right throughout the body, there&#8217;s the potential for other side effects as well.  In contrast, Iampur-Relief goes directly to the source of the pain and swelling, and that provides near immediate relief.</p>
<p><strong>Incredible Discoveries:</strong> Like you said before, there are so many side effects from taking oral medications, how can you not at least try Iampur-relief? You get to be pain free, in three minutes, guaranteed. Iampur-Relief is a great product; there are no side effects.  It&#8217;s safe for children and teenagers, of course under parental supervision, and in fact, the only side effect you will experience is the relief of pain.</p>
<p><strong>Hudson:</strong> <a href="http://incrediblediscoveries.tv/">Incredible Discoveries</a> viewers don&#8217;t need to suffer through any more sleepless nights because their pain is keeping them awake. They deserve a good and full night’s rest. Aches and pains can ruin your life and can make you not want to leave your house and/or bed.</p>
<p><strong>Incredible Discoveries:</strong> Iampur-Relief will give you the pain relief you&#8217;re looking for so you can lead the life you&#8217;ve always dreamed of.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although his company was licensed in Nevada in 2005, <a href="http://eloikummetzonline.com/">Eloi Kummetz</a> has never limited himself to the United States. In fact, much of Eloi Kummetz’s work has focused on Brazil and Africa, where he sees great opportunity for financial development.</p>
<p>Eloi Kummetz’s most recent expansion includes new offices in both London and Madrid. By having a physical presence in these areas, Eloi Kummetz believes Kummetz Corporation can establish itself as part of the community.</p>
<p>Community is part of Eloi Kummetz’s philosophy. Kummetz Corporation has been incorporated as Kummetz Corporation Brazil since 2006, owning a company called Kummetz Construction &amp; Projects Ltd., a business that has had a firm presence in Brazil since 1998. By being a recognized Brazilian company, Kummetz Corporation is able to get to know its citizens and develop relationships with other industries in the area, Eloi Kummetz says. This is the same philosophy Eloi Kummetz hopes to put in action in London and Madrid.</p>
<p>Additionally, having a local office will better allow Kummetz Corporation to provide services to fellow residents, Eloi Kummetz believes. Kummetz Corporation’s boutique of services includes assistance with mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, asset management, and capital participation. Eloi Kummetz believes in investing in projects that not only build the local economy but further his commitment to the environment and helping those in need. In Brazil and Africa, Kummetz Corporation is working to develop projects that will improve education, accessibility to food and water, and increase exports.</p>
<p>Eloi Kummetz’s expansion to London and Madrid is only the beginning. The company has plans to create offices in countries throughout the world, with an eye on more than fifty financial capitals, Eloi Kummetz says. All of his offices will share one common core value, Eloi Kummetz states, and that is integrity. Eloi Kummetz strives to bring integrity to every project he undertakes.</p>
<p>Eloi Kummetz is especially interested in the resurrection of the E.U. capital markets, an issue that has gotten quite a bit of attention in recent years. According to <a href="http://http://eloikummetz.co/">Eloi Kummetz</a>, Kummetz Corporation is excited to be a part of this new time in European history and looking forward to the opportunity to work European businesses to help foster economic development in the country.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to <a href="http://deanspasserstlouis.net/">Dean Spasser</a>, if you’re in business, chances are you have at least a little experience with direct mailings. St. Louis’s Dean Spasser helps clients find valuable direct mailing lists, even advising clients that a bad list is worse than no list at all.</p>
<p>One resource that Dean Spasser always recommends is the Direct Mail List Rate and Data (DMLRD). Published six times per year by Standard Rate and Data Service, as Dean Spasser informs clients, the list is available at many libraries for free use. This book provides a thorough list of direct mail lists available for rental, Dean Spasser says, as well as the price for each list and contact information. According to Dean Spasser, this is an up-to-date list of legitimate mailing lists that he highly recommends.</p>
<p>“This resource book drives home just how big the mailing list business really is,” St. Louis businessman Dean Spasser relates. “Almost anywhere a person gives money, enters a store contest, or buys a lottery ticket, there is a mailing list recording the information for rental.”</p>
<p>As Dean Spasser points out, even churches share information with mailing lists. When a member of the congregation tithes, Dean Spasser says, the contact information that goes into that collection plate may end up on one of these rental mailing lists available through the DMLRD.</p>
<p>Having up-to-date contact information is crucial for a successful direct mailing, Dean Spasser urges. According to St. Louis resident Spasser, the Direct Marketing Association estimates 24% of households change addresses each year, rendering last year’s mailing lists ineffective. Using the DMLRD to find the best mailing lists is essential to a successful direct mail campaign, Dean Spasser says. Find a reputable company and rent the most current list to fit your client base.</p>
<p>St. Louis resident Dean Spasser also warns against mailing lists that are overused. “The more times a list has been mailed to, the less responsive it becomes,” Dean Spasser advises. Consumers today are inundated with mailings, according to Dean Spasser, and if everyone is hitting the same group of people, those people are more likely to toss your ads in the trash. To avoid getting lost in a pile of junk mail, Dean Spasser tells clients to look for high quality, up-to-date mailing lists.</p>
<p><em><strong>About Dean Spasser</strong></em></p>
<p><em>St. Louis entrepreneur Dean Spasser has dedicated the last two decades of his professional life to the serving people through a direct mail marketing business. In the early 1990s, Dean Spasser saw the need for a centralized hub of trustworthy home worker information. Spasser witnessed, and personally experienced, the frustration that hard working Americans were feeling in their quest for financial stability. Dean Spasser’s St. Louis, Missouri-based firm, American Publications, offered people a comprehensive list of reliable work from home opportunities. Dean Spasser’s company provided information about which corporations and small businesses were hiring remote workers and warned about which companies were nothing more than a scam.</em></p>
<p><em>Dean Spasser’s real estate background as a commercial leasing agent in St. Louis gave him valuable people and business experience. Dean Spasser spent ten years uniting shop owners seeking affordable retail space with malls looking to fill empty slots. Additionally, as a real estate professional, he helped St. Louis office buildings thrive by effectively marketing workspace to business owners. Dean Spasser soon saw he had a talent for successfully matching groups searching for each other, and set out to build his own home based business focused on bringing employers and workers together. Dean Spasser continues those efforts today.</p>
<p>Educationally, Dean Spasser earned a degree in Business Accounting from the University of Missouri &#8211; St. Louis. Spasser graduated in 1982 after working his way though college while finding time to actively participate in academic and other activities, including his fraternity. While Dean Spasser was a student in St. Louis, an interest in finance played alongside a desire to succeed by planting seeds that root this well-rounded businessman today. Spasser is grateful that he chose to pursue an accounting degree, as it helps him manage his business responsibly.</p>
<p>Living in St. Louis, Dean Spasser considers himself fortunate to be surrounded by a great music scene, as he is an accomplished guitar player. The Busch guitar studio in St. Louis is Dean Spasser’s favorite place for gathering with like-minded individuals, relaxing with a 6-string, and plucking off retro rock tunes and jazzy beats. Dean Spasser’s passion for fitness is another aspect in his life he takes pride in.  Working out and staying away from his weakness, potato chips, are two small choices he makes to keep his body healthy.</p>
<p>For mental well being, Dean Spasser is passionate about literature and performing arts. Sydney Sheldon’s novels and screenplays are among this St. Louis businessman’s favorite entertainment materials. Architecture is another interest of Dean Spasser; St. Louis has the Gateway Arch, a masterfully designed courthouse and a variety of eclectic structures sprinkled though the city and its surrounding suburbs. <a href="http://deanspasser.com/">Dean Spasser</a> is sometimes found at the Arch, thoughtfully reflecting on the sheer manpower and ingenious design implemented in its construction.</p>
<p></em></p>
<p><em>Dean Spasser is active in the St. Louis community, and donates his time and money to organizations like the Red Cross and Salvation Army – both of which have branches in St. Louis. Above all, Dean Spasser cherishes spending time with his daughter.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever had a great idea and shared it with someone, only to have your dream shot down? Well meaning friends and family can certainly be discouraging to a would-be entrepreneur. In fact, many barriers to starting a company are built on the back of “truths” about the pitfalls and challenges that surround running your own business. Are they really true, or are they simply myths? <a title="Bobby Martyna" href="http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Bobby.Martyna.510-432-4577">Bobby Martyna</a>, who serves as the CEO of Tradavo takes a look at some of them and shares his opinions on the matter.</p>
<p>For instance, if you are about to start off in business you may have been told:<br />
“So many businesses fail. Why risk it?”<br />
“Aren’t you going to have to go way into debt to start your business?”<br />
“Why are you throwing away job security when the economy is so shaky?”</p>
<p><a title="Bobby Martyna" href="http://www.bobbymartyna.com">Bobby Martyna</a> would be the first to agree that being an entrepreneur and running a successful business can be tough and there are definitely hurdles to cross, but he would like to invite some common sense into the debate. Here are just a few of the myths that <a title="Bobby Martyna" href="http://www.bobbymartyna.info">Bobby Martyna</a> has come across in his many years as an entrepreneur.</p>
<p>You Won’t Have a Personal Life</p>
<p>Yes, you will! It will be challenging to juggle the responsibilities of running your own company without neglecting time with the family, but at the end of the day, you will have much more flexibility with your personal life than any company-employed individual will ever have. Proper balance will be found if you have the time management and planning skills to get things done so you can enjoy time spent with your family, says <a title="Bobby Martyna" href="http://www.bobmartyna.com">Bobby Martyna</a>.</p>
<p>You Have To Be Cunning and Ruthless To Be a Successful Entrepreneur</p>
<p>While these kinds of tactics may benefit you in the short term, this is not a sound, long-term strategy. <a title="Bobby Martyna" href="http://www.bobmartyna.info">Bobby Martyna</a> knows from experience that to be a successful entrepreneur you need to build solid, honest relationships with both customers and suppliers who will then stick by you during hard times. Cutthroat pricing may get you one or two good deals but you are unlikely to build a lasting and profitable relationship. Your aim should be to strike a balance between what makes you the most money and what benefits your customer or supplier.</p>
<p>You Won’t Have To Work As Hard</p>
<p>Your current job may be stressful and subject you to 50 or 60-hour workweeks. Perhaps the idea of running your own company is appealing because you believe it will allow you to slow down and take life at your own pace. While this perception may be somewhat true, there is no getting away from the fact that being a self-employed entrepreneur is very hard work. Most small businesses don’t achieve profitability until at least the third year. Remember, if was easy, everyone would be doing it! What does make the difference, according to Bobby Martyna, is that you will be doing something you love and so the hours and the struggles won’t seem like such hard work after all.</p>
