BusinessMom.com Comes To Town
Milana Leshinsky started her first home business in 1994, making cutemagnetic hats for 20 cents a piece. After two months she realized that shewasn't a work-at-home mom... more like a slave-at-home mom, making less than$5 an hour. What a disappointment. And this realization is not uncommon forwomen starting a business at home.One of the reasons this horrific experience comes to pass is that women donot realize how many incredible opportunities there are for having a homebased business via the internet.Six years after this first self-employment experience, after having hersecond child, Milana tried becoming a work-at-home mom again.
This time herbusiness has outgrown any expectations, any predictions and any hopes shehas ever had on becoming a home-based mom.She didn't just do "okay", she is completely successful.Milana's first order arrived in February 2001. In April of 2002 she quit herjob - the job that only a few years ago (after graduating from college) shecalled her "dream job". "My business brings as much as my salary did, Iwork only a fewhours a day, AND I actually get to raise my children", Milana says.This is one of many common themes you hear from women in home basedbusinesses. But it is not the only one."Women own and run over one-third of the 14.2 million home-basedbusinesses in the United States", says the IDC Research Company(www.idcresearch.com). Yet, a very small number of these women own anInternet-based business.
Those that do have an online business will agreethat it is the BEST home business for work-at-home mothers.Why? Here are just a few of the benefits that other home-basedbusinesses can not offer you:- It has the biggest potential at a minimum investment.- Your business schedule is 100% flexible.- You can work as little as 3 hours a day & still be successful.- This is a true "home" business, work only at your computer.- You can do just about ANYTHING you want as your business.- All the skills you need are using a computer and the Internet.- Any motivated mom can do it, regardless of her background.So if an Internet business is the best home business for stay-at-home moms, why do so few mothers actually do it?"When I share with other mothers what I do, I get a polite nod, some curiousquestions, and a puzzled "yeah, right..." look", Milana says.Perhaps they don't know anyone who is a successful Internet business owner.May be they have heard all about it, but believe it's total hype. Or may bethey tried it and realized that it actually requires some efforts, and notat all the "makemoney while you sleep" type of business.Most likely it's because they have no idea how to get started. Sure theycan use a computer and surf the Web... but what do you do to actually startan Internet business?You get online and read. Do your homework.

Universities Use High-Tech Massage Chairs To Help Their Faculty Unwind
(ContentDesk) March 31, 2006 -- Many universities are now making massage chairs available to their faculty, both in an effort to reduce stress and improve work performance, but also as a novel teaching tool. College faculty members are expected to fill many roles during the course of their day; they are friends, mentors and even surrogate parents, and wearing all of those hats can really wear a person out. In order to help their faculty stay energized, many schools have begun using a new breed of super-advanced massage chairs from companies like Premier Health Products and Panasonic to help reduce stress, and make their faculty more productive.Faculty members are encouraged to take a massage between classes, or in the morning as they start their day. Many professors may not find the time in their busy schedules for traditional massage therapy, but massage chairs offer a quick way to get many of the same benefits with no sticky oils and no appointments.At some institutions, massage chairs...

Time is Running Out for "Intelligent Design"
Boston, MA (ContentDesk) April 9, 2006 --
Tick tock Tiktaalik. Time appears to be running out for the idea of Intelligent Design. Paleontologists have just reported a discovery that promises to be as significant to evolutionary theory as it will be damaging, if not fatal, to biblical literalism. Now Bob Michael is commemorating the discovery with hats, t shirts, jerseys, sweatshirts, mugs, pillows, and tote bags.Proponents of Intelligent Design claim that a superior intelligence created each species in the forms that we see today. They insist that evolutionary theory is wrong because there exist no transitions, no evidence of "missing link" fossils to show changes from one species into another.
Their argument has always, of course, ignored the existence of archaeopteryx fossils - the transition species from reptile to bird. Now we have the uncovering, on Canada's Ellesmere Island, of a fossil which clearly shows a species that bridged the gap between fish and land animals....
