(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110314/DC64568LOGO)

Realtors® from across Florida will attend the state association's 96th annual convention on Aug. 8-12, 2012, at the Marriott World Center in Orlando. The event features about 30 educational sessions from top industry speakers on topics like residential property management, business strategies, identifying investment opportunities, pricing in a competitive market, working with international clients and more.

"Florida Realtors' annual Convention & Trade Expo is a 'can't-miss-this' opportunity for every Realtor in the state," says Florida Realtors® President Summer Greene, regional manager of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Florida 1st in Fort Lauderdale. "It offers five days of inspiration, education, networking with real estate colleagues and exciting entertainment – all designed to boost your business and renew your passion for our profession. The convention is a highlight of the year, and provides outstanding value to anyone interested in the latest trends, technology and best business practices."

A highlight of this year's convention will be the chance to meet Barbara Corcoran – a giant in the real estate industry, novelist, television producer and TV star. Corcoran is already a familiar face to many people as the real estate contributor for NBC's TODAY Show, an investor/shark on ABC's Shark Tank, a weekly contributor to the New York Daily News and MORE Magazine, and on HGTV's Top Ten.

The house band at Disneyland for 15 years, Papa Doo Run Run sounds so much like the Beach Boys, that when the Beach Boys tour and need someone to sit in, they call the guys from Papa. One complimentary ticket to the concert is included with full convention registration; any attendee can purchase a ticket for $30. Tickets will be sold until 4 p.m. on Aug. 8, or as long they're available. The '60s Surf & Beach Party is co-sponsored by Florida Realtors PAC and Florida Realtors.

Profit Mastery Announces New Agent Opportunity for Business Consultants to Expand Service Offerings - YAHOO!

Easy-to-implement program creates demand for ongoing monthly client consulting - and extends client life.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 16, 2012

Profit Mastery announced today the launch of a new Profit Mastery Agent program, offering business coaches, consultants and advisors the opportunity to generate incremental revenue and create expanded consulting opportunities by bringing the highly-acclaimed Profit Mastery financial education curriculum directly to their clients for the first time.

A study done by Inc. magazine and the National Business Incubator Association revealed that 80 percent of new businesses fail within the first five years. The business experts at Profit Mastery believe this failure is most often caused by the poor financial management of companies.

Over the past two decades, hundreds of thousands of business owners have completed the Profit Mastery program, and those that have applied Profit Mastery to their businesses have proved to be better credit risks for banks, hired more staff, opened more locations, and operated their businesses more profitably. Increased profit provides the resources necessary for small businesses to take advantage of new opportunities and promote economic growth in their communities.

"The many requests we've had from business coaches and advisors led us to create this new Profit Mastery Agent opportunity," said Steve LeFever, Chairman of Profit Mastery. "Agents can now dovetail long-term consulting relationships with their clients to implement these critically important financial tools into their businesses -- thereby expanding their consulting revenue opportunities and extending the client lifecycle."

A Profit Mastery Agent has four sources of direct delivery income: selling online registrations to the Profit Mastery University online streaming video portal, conducting live/facilitated classes, selling monthly Profit Guard reports, and engaging clients in ongoing monthly consulting. Commission revenues can also be earned through the sales of performance groups, benchmark studies, and keynote presentations delivered by Profit Mastery staff. Additional commissioned revenue comes through recruiting/referring new agents.

The Profit Mastery Agent program includes:

Gold Solutions have announced an exciting new addition to their unique Business … - YAHOO!

As from the 1st July 2012 Gold Solutions are introducing a new gold plating ACADEMY for any new clients joining their Gold Plating Guild, the only such guild in the world.

(PRWEB UK) 2 July 2012

Ever since Gold Solutions started selling home gold plating kits for people to start their own low cost-high return businesses they have put over 2000 people from all over the world on the road to financial independence. In most cases, for less than £500 outlay, clients (Operators) have had all they require to generate in excess of £50 per hour - with no experience required whatsoever.

After gold plating was seen on BBC's Dragons Den, people have shown interest in this fantastic business - but few know anything about it. Now, with the additional benefit of the world's ONLY gold plating guild, formed by Gold Solutions purely to promote its Operators own businesses on-line, kit buyers receive all the help and assistance they require to build a successful business. They even provide professional training courses for those seeking to establish a first class business in the quickest possible manner.

Anyone wanting to give a totally unique gift now has only to contact one of the members of the Gold Plating Guild, from anywhere in the world, and they will have access to gifts that will have never been seen by most people - but at completely affordable prices. They can even enter their enquiry on the Guild website - and it will be submitted to every single member of the Guild.

The secret to the business potential lies in the fact that none of these 'gifts' are available in the high streets of Britain - even though tens of thousands sell the basic products, just not gold plated. This means that mobile phones, golf clubs, kettles, razors, and just about anything metal is now available through the Guild to everyone.

Terry George, founder of Gold Solutions 5 years ago says "in order to make the process of building a new business successful, and fast, we have now started an 'Academy' package for those more determined business minded people. In addition to them being automatically registered as a member of the Gold Plating Guild, all clients with 'Academy' status will be provided with weekly and active help from the support team.

A weekly telephone call will establish what the aims of the Academy Operator are for that week and a programme of aims and targets will be set and put into action. This will ensure that the business will have an infinitely better chance of succeeding."

With the advent of new products, services, marketing strategies, product sourcing and a comprehensive support package from Gold Solutions the future looks to be plated with 24k gold.

Market Opportunities and Business Strategies in Private Label Branding in India - Yahoo Finance

NEW YORK, May 29, 2012  /PRNewswire/ --  Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Market Opportunities and Business Strategies in Private Label Branding in India

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0803933/Market-Opportunities-and-Business-Strategies-in-Private-Label-Branding-in-India.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Retail

Summary

The market for private label products in India is still in its nascent stages and accounted for just XX% of the overall retail market in 2011. The Indian retail market is highly fragmented and primarily consists of unorganized outlets such as 'kirana' stores. It is expected that organized retail is going to undergo a period of growth over the forecast period. Retailers entered the Indian private labels market by providing staples such as food and beverage products. The positive growth potential of these categories convinced many retailers to enter the personal care market in 2009. The main growth strategy of Indian retailers is to provide consumers with national brands as a trust exercise; as such brands provide a level of quality and assurance to consumers, who are then offered private labels as a discounted alternative. The Future Group recruited national sports icon, Sachin Tendulkar, to create a sub-brand named 'Sach'. In this way, the Group expects to attain national recognition with some consumers and an emotional connection with others. This is the first instance of private label product endorsement in the Indian market. Growth in private labels has resulted in several conflicts between retailers and national brands, owing to issues such as margins, displays and shelf space. Retailers are more inclined to push the sales of private label products as they offer greater profit margins.

Key Highlights

• The market for private label products in India is still in its early stages and comprised XX% of the overall retail market in 2011. • Private label penetration began in the mid-2000s when retailers established organized retail format stores across the country. • Organized retail occupies a small percentage of the overall retail market in India. Traditional forms of retail, such as neighborhood 'kirana' stores, dominate the market. • The most widely used private label products were cereals, pulses and spices. This was followed by packaged food products and fruits and vegetables.• In 2011, Spencer's Retail revamped its business strategy to focus on the young, urban population. In these terms they are repositioning themselves as an affordable, luxury retailer. • The Future Group launched its new private label brand, 'Sach', in 2009 with the Sach branded toothbrush, which was followed by Sach branded toothpaste in March 2010. The group tied up with the national sports icon, Sachin Tendulkar, to co-create this sub-brand.

Shell Executives' Comments Confirm the Validity of Carbon Sciences' Business Opportunity - Yahoo Finance

SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwire -05/14/12)- Carbon Sciences Inc. (OTC.BB: CABN), the developer of a breakthrough technology to make transportation fuels, hydrogen and other valuable products from natural gas, today responded to comments made by key Royal Dutch Shell executives about the future role of natural gas and the importance of catalyst technology.

In an exclusive interview published by Oil & Gas Middle East on May 8, Wael Sawan, the new man at the top for Shell in Qatar, commented on energy demand and the role of natural gas, "At Shell, we believe global energy demand is likely to double in the first half of this century. This demand will be driven by a rising global population, which has just reached 7 billion on its way to over 9 billion by 2050, and by strong growth in the emerging economies. To keep pace with demand, the world will need to invest in excess of $1 trillion per year globally in the total energy supply chain."

Mr. Sawan continued, "While renewables are expected to play a growing part of the overall energy mix, fossil fuels will still represent over 60% of the total by 2050. At the same time, the world must manage its CO2 emissions to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. Under these circumstances, the case for natural gas is clear."

New technology will play a significant role in the use of natural gas. Shell's chief executive Peter Voser recently disclosed that the company had already learned from the experience of building the world's largest gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant in Qatar, and has developed a new generation of catalysts which will be able to build more compact and less expensive GTL plants in future.

Responding to these comments, Byron Elton, CEO of Carbon Sciences, stated, "We have great respect for Shell as a leader in the natural gas industry. The views expressed by their key executives confirm the validity of our business opportunity. We believe that Carbon Sciences' breakthrough technology can play a meaningful role in transforming clean, abundant and affordable natural gas into the useful products so desperately needed throughout the world today."

About Carbon Sciences Inc.

Innovating at the forefront of chemical engineering, Carbon Sciences is developing a breakthrough technology to make cleaner and greener transportation fuels, hydrogen and other valuable products from natural gas. Our highly scalable, clean-tech process will enable the world to reduce its dependence on petroleum by transforming abundant and affordable natural gas into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and other products, such as hydrogen, methanol, pharmaceuticals, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides and plastics. The key to this process is a breakthrough catalyst that can reduce the cost of reforming natural gas into synthetic gas (syngas), the most costly step in making products from natural gas.

RBCC Partner n3D Explores New Business Opportunities at Biomedical Conference - Yahoo Finance

NOKOMIS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Rainbow BioSciences, LLC, the biotech subsidiary of Rainbow Coral Corp. (OTCBB:RBCC.OB - News), announced today that its newest partner, Nano3D Biosciences (n3D), introduced its cell-levitation technology to dozens of potential clients this week at the 28th Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference in Houston.

By targeting the top industry professionals, n3D is successfully generating increased awareness and interest surrounding the Bio-Assembler. The system’s revolutionary functionality allows it to produce accurate, 3D representations of in vivo tissues in roughly the same time needed to produce 2D cell cultures.

The conference brought together students, researchers, clinicians and industry leaders in various fields of biomedical engineering, other engineering disciplines and medicine to share the latest tools and techniques in the rapidly growing sector. This event was particularly targeted toward medical oncologists and hematologists, corporate medical directors and health plan medical directors and other healthcare professionals.

Nano3D Biosciences’s 3D cell culturing system, the Bio-Assembler, was featured in a number of abstracts presented at the conference. This gave the company an opportunity to help familiarize students and professionals on the cutting edge of biomedical breakthroughs and research to its innovative technology.

With n3D’s Bio-Assembler poised to dramatically reduce the development timeline for new life-saving drug therapies, Rainbow BioSciences acquired an equity interest in n3D earlier this year. RBCC believes that this acquisition has the company well-positioned to participate in the potentially impressive upside in store for n3D.

For more information on Rainbow BioSciences, please visit www.rainbowbiosciences.com/investors.html.

Rainbow BioSciences will develop new medical and research technology innovations to compete alongside companies such as Bristol Myers Squibb Co. (NYSE: BMY - News), Biogen Idec Inc. (NASDAQ: BIIB), Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) and Amgen, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN).

Shell's chief executive Peter Voser recently disclosed that the company had already learned from the experience of building the world's largest gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant in Qatar, and has developed a new generation of catalysts which will be able to build more compact and less expensive GTL plants in future.

Responding to these comments, Byron Elton, CEO of Carbon Sciences, stated, "We have great respect for Shell as a leader in the natural gas industry. The views expressed by their key executives confirm the validity of our business opportunity. We believe that Carbon Sciences' breakthrough technology can play a meaningful role in transforming clean, abundant and affordable natural gas into the useful products so desperately needed throughout the world today."
