"If you would spend 80% of your ad money making your
existing customers feel like kings, you could get one
customer to bring you another customer just like them -
by Word-of-Mouth advertising. That would double your
business and keep your customers loyal - what a concept."

Is true that the government has declared salsa a
vegetable for purposes of serving it in kid's lunches?
What "Ma" was one of the first female superheros?

ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
What queen of England never stepped foot
in the country?
Berengaria, wife of Richard I, the Lion-Heart, never
lived in England or even visited there. The daughter
of the King of Navvare, Berengaria married Richard I
in Cypress, which Richard had invaded. Her husband,
who reigned from 1189-1199, spent a total of only six
months in England. He spent his early life in France,
as duke of Aquitaine, ruling the land of his mother,
Eleanor. Then he was busy with the Third Crusade
and spent some time imprisoned by his mortal
enemy - Leopold, Duke of Austria, who had the help
of the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV. He was released
in 1194 only after paying a heavy ransom.
What is an "infanta"?
"Infanta" is the title borne by the daughters of a Spanish
or Portuguese king, except the eldest or heir to the throne.
The son of a Spanish or Portuguese king is called the
"infante," unless he's the eldest or heir to the throne. The
heir to the throne holds the title of Prince or Princess of
Asturias. Looking for a good fairytale? Read "The Birthday
of the Infanta" by Oscar Wilde for a wonderful tale about a
privileged Infanta and the cruelty she innocently inflicts
upon a young dwarf who has fallen in love with her.

One-To-Exactly-How-Many? Marketers, Researchers Debate
Consumer Targeting
By Paul J. Gough
Staff Writer
Thursday, January 22, 2004
When it comes to one-to-one marketing, the future is now.
That's the message that flowed through the Future of
Information Summit, organized by Simmons Market
Research Bureau and held Tuesday at a mid-Manhattan
hotel. It was highlighted by a number of researchers
and others trying to make sense of customer data
integration and applying what they've learned to their
companies' or clients' interaction with consumers.
(An excerpt from Media Daily News)
------------------NUMBER TWO
Adriana Waterston, director of marketing for the company
(Horowitz Associates, Inc.) says "The census shows us
that single mothers now head ten million out of 37 million
family households-- one quarter of all family households
in America are headed by a woman alone. If a provider is
not taking steps to ensure that their marketing and positioning
resonates with women across all segments, they could be
missing a huge opportunity."
------------------NUMBER THREE
Measuring Worldwide Net Usage Leaders
22 January 2004
Ipsos-Insight reports 68% of adults in the US are Internet
users as of the end of last year.
But the US is not the leading country in terms of Net usage,
notes Ipsos, as Canada claims first place with 71% of adults
using the Net and South Korea claims second place with 70%
of its adults online.
(excerpt from eMarketer Daily
With the internet statistics changing every minute, we are
learning new and different things about marketing products.
With the advent of the internet we now have measured
statistics available such as we never had before. We are
now able to target our marketing and our sales accordingly.
This all sounds like a good reason to use theNEWSSHOP's
Internet Marketing Package for all the brick and mortar
businesses out there who are not marketing by internet. It
is one more way of reaching customers and bringing them
in the door.
theNEWSSHOP is looking for representatives in all cities

to businesses in their community. Have a look at the plan

Stress And How It Affects Your Physical Body
A Few Ideas To Enhance Your Fitness Level.
PART 5 of 9
In a conscientious, knowledgeable decision-making process, you
need to understand the concept of "cause and effect". Along with
this goes the right for you to have boundaries. These are rules
for different situations: positive and negative ones. They are
decisions you have already made that won't violate your personal
values and intentions. You will really be out of sync with your
relaxed and healthy state without them. Can you imagine how your
body reacts to being confronted with a request to clean a
storage unit or go to a warehouse store when it's the very last
thing you want to do? And unless you have a lot of confidence
and courage, you will be torn between your desires and theirs.
And who looses? You do because chances are you don't want to
upset anyone. If you go home, you will be angry and very tired
and upset (mostly with yourself). If you don't help, you may
feel guilty and a bit fearful of any unpleasantness that might
follow. Neither way do you win. Do this a few times, and you can
picture how stressed your body is on a fairly frequent basis.
But as you can't say anything, it simply eats away at you
silently...a good start for major health challenges. This is
"cause and effect" in real life.
So what is the answer or part of a solution? I suggest you make
some rules for yourself and set some boundaries. It's a given
that anyone will try to get around them, but with time,
confidence, and consistency, they won't succeed: you will. So if
we go back to the example of the Friday afternoon cleaning
"proposal", it could be handled by offering to help the
following week when you are prepared. Then you could allow
enough time and wear proper clothing. You still haven't turned
them down flat, but you made a choice that looked after your
needs as well as their desires. You would also feel much more in
control. That would eliminate a lot of frustration. Furthermore,
you would retain the goodwill of the friend or co-worker.
Recognize too, that sometimes you get set up for these things
just to see how far you can be pushed. In the case of your
spouse's brand new gift certificate and the need for your
expertise, you know all that will keep till the following week
at least. Maybe you could incorporate it into a small family
celebration or by all doing something together. A happier and
energetic "you" would contribute more joy than the tired wreck
who needed a chance to rest its feet.

THE NET'S BEST KEPT SECRET
<><><><>
THE SAGA OF PINEHILL
by Ken Darby
--------------------------------------
Eloise Henry, age 18 when the story began, and
David Wylie, age 20, were selected, by a
stranger in town, to take a dangerous trip, together.
The idea was that each was to take only the clothes
on their back, and go anywhere in the world where
the stranger took them. They were to be left there
to find their own way home. They had no money,
no identification, and no idea where they were.
Upon their safe return there was a million dollars
waiting in their bank account for them. If one did not
make it that money would go to the survivor. If neither
made it the money would go to their families.
The story deals with their adventures along the way
and leads into the only way they could survive. That was
for Eloise to learn higher law and commit her life to
that end. Along the way she learns how to perform
many a miracle.
The story leads to many friends, many adventures
and many places. As you read on, enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

"Of course. Oomano and Romano have invited Jim and
Hilda White and Susan Miles as well. They thought that
we all had such a good time at Eloise's wedding we
might all like to do it again. Both Oomano and Romano
live by higher law." said Sam.
He went on. "In fact Romano used to be a gang member
in Matto Grosso. He actually shot Miguele and left him
for dead. That incident led to Mazunta having a chance
to work with him and today he is a much welcome master."
"Well! Son, that just goes to show the sun is made to shine
on the just and the unjust. It is those who see it that get the
benefit. Then I doubly congratulate you for you are a
strong man worthy of all that comes your way. I am
pleased to know you Romano, and I will be very happy
to attend your's and Oomano's wedding. And thank you
for thinking of us. We always enjoy being with you folks
down there and I haven't seen Miguele for far too long."
said Ben.
They had conversation about a lot of things, and the time
passed quickly. Ben Striker loved to spend time with Sam.
He often forgot the jobs he had to work on and then found
himself rushed when Sam left.
Sensing this Sam suggested they leave so Ben could get
his work done.
Saying their goodbyes, they walked downstairs and out
of the building. They vanished, only to reappear at the
Henry household kitchen.
"Hi you guys! Were you able to see Ben and Jim?" asked
Alewka.
Before they could answer Susan Miles spoke up. "Is this
your young man Oomano?" she asked.
"Sure we saw them and they would both be glad to come.
They were excited and reminiscing about Eloise's wedding.
"Yes Mrs. Susan. This is my man Romano." said Oomano.
"Hello Romano. I have been hearing all about you. You're
quite some man. I'm going to come to your wedding. I'm
going to make sure, too, that you treat this young lady right.
She's quite a catch." said Susan.
"Hello Mrs. Susan. Thank you and yes I will look after her."
answered Romano, "It looks like you folks drank up all the
coffee. Been sitting here since we left?
"Don't tease, Romano. We had a lot to talk about. Want
some coffee?" asked Oomano.
Sam and Romano sat down as Alewka brought them
coffee.
"Sam this is going to be so much fun. The last time we
went none of us knew what to expect. While we had fun
it took the edge off a bit. Here we know what to expect,
and we will be among friends we have missed since
Eloise's wedding. This is going to be fun." said Susan.
"I imagine so Susan. If I know Miguele he will do
whatever he can to make it a wonderful wedding.
Where are you two going for a honeymoon?" asked
Sam.
"Mr. Sam, you won't believe this. We want only to be
alone. We don't want noise and busyness. We thought
we would go to see Missy and Mazunta and ask them if
we could use the same hut they used for their honeymoon.
That way we could be alone and quiet." said Romano.
"That makes wonderful sense Romano. I'm proud of
the pair of you. You can always go to the hot spots
man travels but you're right, that's only noise and glitter.
Good for you." said Sam.
"It is getting on and I think we should go Mrs. Alewka.
Thank you for your hospitality and for all the coffee
and company. Nice to meet you again Mrs. Susan and
thank you for taking Romano to see Mr. Ben and Mr. Jim,
Mr. Sam. We will look forward to seeing you at the
wedding. Thank you." said Oomano as she rose to
leave.
It was nine in the evening when they left the Henrys.
It was seven here at home when they arrived.
The family all sat around the supper table and wanted
to hear all the things that went on today for these two
travellers.
Oomano and Romano told their story. They brought
greetings from Sonora, Kenyata and Mombudo in
Africa. They similarly brought greetings from the
Strikers, the Whites, the Henrys and Mrs. Susan.

OBSERVATIONS ABOUT OUR BUSINESS
Since beginning the Project 2003 item, many of you have
become interested in following what we are doing in our
business.
It is a way of seeing some of the good things and not so good
things that happen to us along the way.
While it may not replicate your story, neither may it be replicated
by you, it does keep you updated on some of the trials and
tribulations of doing business on the internet.
We thought we would keep it up.

HA! HA! HA!
The fourth-grade teacher had to leave the room for a few
minutes. When she returned, she found the children in
perfect order. Everybody was sitting absolutely quiet.
She was shocked and stunned and said, "I've never seen
anything like it before. This is wonderful. But, please
tell me, what came over all of you? Why are you so
well-behaved and quiet?"
Finally, after much urging, a little girl said, "Well, one
time you said that if you ever came back and found us quiet,
you would drop dead!!"

"It takes many inches to make a mile. We can only move
by inches, one inch at a time. It's when we look miles
ahead and wonder 'how are we going to get so far?'
that we fail to move forward at all. The paradox is that
we can choose to live life 'in the rear view mirror' and
remain so far back that moving forward, even an inch,
is most difficult. Most important, we must always keep
in mind that anytime we suffer a setback while moving
forward, it will always be just a matter of inches,
and not miles."
