Success in Seattle

The ability to hurdle family history research barriers with DNA testing has revolutionized the hobby of genealogy, solving many problems where traditional methods dead-end, such as missing or inaccurate paper records. Cynthia Wilson, an administrative assistant living in Seattle, spent 13 years of vacations in Virginia and North Carolina courthouses and libraries poring over old deeds, probate records and birth registries, to learn five generations of maternal ancestry.

“I wanted to identify and verify my grandmothers on my maternal side,” she said. “I don’t mind the hard work of research and I even like to read difficult documents, like old court records,” she said. “But I don’t like brick walls.” And she had hit a big one. Her research showed that her fourth great-grandmother probably lived in colonial America around 1775. But there the trail went cold because of the incomplete records kept of her African-American ancestors who were brought as slaves into the American south.

The solution? Testing her mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), a service offered at GeneTree. mtDNA is a powerful tool for tracing maternal ancestry for both men and women because it is inherited by children exclusively from their mothers. Therefore a living person can be tested to represent the DNA profile of an ancestor. Then, if a matching genetic profile is found, it is very possible that common ancestry can be established.

Cynthia found an exact genetic match in the SMGF database that points to her family origins to Mali, Africa. “I was very surprised to find one perfect genetic match and 10 near-perfect matches on the Sorenson mtDNA database,” Cynthia said. “I really wasn’t expecting that. Could it be that I have ‘jumped the pond’?”

“This is a dramatic example of the possibilities the mtDNA-genealogy database holds for those who are researching the maternal side of their family history,” said Scott Woodward, executive director of SMGF. “It allowed Cynthia Wilson to reach beyond the end of her paper research all the way to Africa. This is the type of discovery that makes maternal ancestry research an extremely rewarding experience for families, and it was impossible only a few years ago.”

Cynthia is optimistic about following her personal thread of history further and learning more. “I am very encouraged by what I’ve found on the SMGF database and already I’ve begun preliminary research about Mali and its people.”

Heal your Heel Spurs with Heel That Pain

Heel That Pain products treat heel spurs. Not sure what heel spurs are? Take a look:

  • A heel spur is a growth of bone that extends from the heel bone (calcaneous). The spur itself has no feeling. However, these bony outgrowths usually extend from the heel bone into the soft tissue surrounding the bottom of the foot, causing inflammation of the plantar fascia (fasciitis) and pain throughout the heel of the foot.

    The heel spur is composed of calcium deposits. This bony deposit develops when the plantar fascia stretches abnormally due to stress factors and occurs where the ligament attaches and stretches away from the heel bone. These pointed outgrowths, which can be visible through an X-ray, are often hooked and extend forward toward your toes as much as half an inch

    Most cases of heel spurs can be treated by the simple, conservative means of our Heel Cups, Heel Seats, Heel Pads, Arch Supports, and Insoles. They use acupressure as an effective way to treat the pain associated with heel spurs. Our unique treatments not only effectively treat the pain, they also reverse the heel spur growth. They cradle the heel and arch of the foot, providing the support and reinforcement of the heel which is necessary to relieve stress and pain in the tissue around the heel spur.

Now that you know what heel spurs are, spread your knowledge! Let others know about their heel spurs and how to alleviate themselves from the pain caused by them with Heel That Pains Heel Seats.

Soccer Affiliates: Elite Players Wear Black

As the top European leagues get set to start back up in August, you can expect to see the top players representing Nike wearing new, black colorway editions of their signature shoes. Pictured above you can see some of the latest offerings including the Mercurial Vapor V (black/volt), Total90 Laser II (black/white/orange blaze), and the Tiempo Legend III (black/white) worn by Drogba, Rooney, and Cole respectively.

In addition to these top boots, you will also see a number of players representing the recently relaunched Mercurial Vapor Superfly in the same black/volt colorway as its close cousin, the Vapor V. Players such as Clint Dempsey will be wearing these featherweight cleats, and Ronaldo has already been seen sporting them as he was introduced as a new member of Real Madrid.

Regardless of the player or even the shoe, Nike is looking to make a bold, unified statement across all of their soccer boot ranges that the elite wear black this season. Players looking show their status as an elite, and those looking to be like their Euro-league idols will be clamoring for these new colorways, so start promoting now!

iContact Month End “Affiliate Blitz”

There’s only 3 days left in this month, and iContact wants to help their affiliates absolutely dominate any sales they have ever done by month end. To do that, they’ve put together some amazing tools and motivators to help make it happen. For the first time ever, iContact has created a coupon code exclusive to their affiliates. They have also given us the go-ahead to boost commissions even higher! And if that were not enough, they even want to motivate those who have been holding out and haven’t referred a sale this year by giving away one of 3 awesome prizes in a contest. Check out all of the details below…

Coupon:

iContact is serious about giving their affiliates the tools to make sales happen. This is even more evident with the coupon they have created. This coupon is good for a $50 account credit for any upgrade before 11:59 PM EST on July 31st. That means that if that customer signs up for a $9.95/month account, they get 5 Months FREE! If they sign up for a $25 account, they get 2 months free, and so on, and so forth…

Now, the catch is that the guys at iContact realize that this is an amazing deal, so they want us to make sure that anyone we give the coupon code to is serious about promoting, and will refer real, valid accounts. So, to help in the screening, we’re not posting the coupon code for this offer here, but if you would like to promote this offer email me, or ping me on AIM (ewchaisson) with your site and how you plan to promote. But do it quick, because you only have until the end of the month to push it!

Commission Increase:

iContact already pays an insane 700% commission, with a max payout of $250 per transaction. Well, as I said, they want to see affiliates excel this month, so they are offering 900% commissions to all affiliates throughout the end of the month with a max payout of $350 per transaction. So, the moral of this short story? Promote like you never have from now until the last minute of the last day of the month!

Contest:

We want to see every affiliate in the iContact program be able to make a sale and earn serious commissions. We are realistic though and know that not every member of the program will get started promoting, and some will even forget that they are members of the program altogether. So, to serve as a reminder and motivate those who haven’t made a sale so far this year, we’ve put together a little contest.

The competition is simple. All affiliates who have not referred as sale this year are eligible to compete. Promote. Refer as many sales as possible. The affiliate with the highest number of verified sales between July 27th (this past Monday) and July 31st (this Friday), will win their choice of three awesome prizes. The catch: you must have a minimum of 5 verified sales logged to win the prize (while we would love to give away things for free, investors, boards of directors, and other concerned parties would likely frown upon that, therefore we have to make sure the contest can at least pay for the prize it gives away). Now, for the prizes. The winner will get their choice of an Amazon Kindle, a Nintendo Wii with one game (title TBD), or a $300 Visa Gift Card! All prizes are valued at approximately $300.

Remember, all of these tools and incentives expire at 11:59 PM EST on July 31st, so get to work immediately! If you need any assistance, don’t hesitate to contact me and I will work to get you going quickly!
