Dear Friends and New Friends,

This is my personal update that I want to share with you today. If you didn't read my email from 2 days ago it is at the bottom of this one.

Help for Orphans International has a volunteer named Jonathan on the ground in Haiti right now. He is a pilot, personally using his own plane. I hear directly from Jonathan everyday.

He said there is a BIG need for morphine here in the hospitals (or at least oral narcotics). They are doing amputations without it. That might be the single most important item to distribute now. Apparently there are quantities in Port Au Prince but the army has taken over and distribution is very slow. Pass the word.

As I mentioned before, Jonathan has this knowledge because he has the only small aircraft on the ground in Haiti right now, which is shuttling in supplies and help. Due to his tireless efforts he has been able to bring medical personnel, supplies, food, water and medication directly to the people who need it most. It is because of the money we raise that enables him to continue to pay for fuel and supplies.

I want you to think about this for a minute. Can you imagine if your child, your brother, or your grandchild was in severe pain for days on end, with no medical care? Can you imagine your child losing ALL the family they have ever known and left to fend for themselves on the streets, surrounded by decomposing bodies? This is the situation for so many in Haiti.

These children need our help. I realize I may be sounding very dramatic here but this is the honest truth. I need every one of you to understand and pass on how severely help is needed there. Most of us, if not all, take for granted the food and water we have at our disposal. So many lives are being lost in Haiti – today - because they are lacking the simple essentials.

So, please, give whatever you can. A few dollars from everyone reading this will make a huge difference. Give up the Starbucks for just one week.

Text "support orphans" to 20222 to give $5 on your cell bill.

To make a larger contribution go to www.helpfororphans.org and click “Donate now" and most of all PLEASE spread the word to EVERYONE you know!

See our Press release released early this morning: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/01/prweb3505184.htm

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!!

Love,

Hi,

I am urging you to please read this message and respond accordingly and then to please forward this on to all your contacts.

As you may know, I am fortunate to be working for Help for Orphans International, a charity founded by Sarah Ehrlich four years ago. She has done a lot of work helping orphans in Kenya and is now solely focused on helping the orphans affected by the earthquake in Haiti.

I don't like to spread bad news but we have a volunteer from our organization who's been on the ground there since over a week ago. Words cannot describe the devastation that he has described to me. Imagine a little child losing ALL their family, wounded, no place to live and with little food/water. This is TRULY the situation.

Sarah and myself are going to Haiti in the next few days to raise awareness and to strategize HOW we are most effectively going to help. We will also be purchasing food/formula/diapers in the Dominican Republic to bring to the most hard hit areas.

Our volunteer there named Jonathan flew his 4 seater aircraft 2000 miles from Sag Harbor, NY and is shuttling back and forth between neighboring areas bringing supplies and medical personnel to the most desperate areas. Today he texted me that he was enroute to bring saws and morphine to a medical unit there.

The only way we can keep him doing this is to continue to send him funds.

Do NOT think that they have ENOUGH help because they don't. What we are doing IS making a difference! Jonathan says that he has the only small aircraft shuttling that he has seen. Additionally, because his aircraft is so small he has been cleared to land at Port au Prince airport.

We can NOT continue to do what we're doing without more donations! There's just NO way! Sadly, the surrounding areas have taken advantage of this tragedy and the cost of fuel and food etc.. has skyrocketed! All your donations are 100% tax deductible and you can know that we are actually USING your money RIGHT NOW to make a difference! Anything helps!

Here's how to donate:

1. Click this now Help For Orphans, then select "donate now" on the top left navigation.

2. Text 20222 from you cell phone and type "support orphans" and you will be charged $5 on your next cell phone bill.

3. Call me at 917.704.2131.

Every people want to continuous their business what ever it has, but every business face different market research problems in his life. So I want to share my experience that what Market Research is? types, essential benefits of Market Research, and what are the 10 ten Marketing Research mistakes.

The marketing research process includes the systematic identification, collection, analysis and distribution of information for the purpose of knowledge development and decision making. Identifying and defining your problem: you have already identified a problem and an information need. This step is always the start of the marketing research process. At this point, the problem will have been recognized by at least one level of management, and internal discussions will have taken place. Developing your approach: in this step you can develop your approach by Project Analysis, Skill Analysis, and Budget Analysis. Research Design: Research design includes secondary information analysis, qualitative research, methodology selection, question measurement & scale selection, questionnaire design, sample design & size and determining data analysis to be used.

Elements of Research Design Include: The Questionnaire Design Process Measuring & Scaling Sample Size Calculator Basic Statistical Testing Survey Questionnaire. Collecting the data:Often called data collection or survey fielding, this is the point at which the finalized questionnaire (survey instrument) is used in gathering information among the chosen sample segments. There are a variety of data collection methodologies to consider like internet surveys, mail surveys, Internet panel, mail panel. Performing data analysis: Any questionnaire data analysis will depend on how the questionnaire was constructed. Less complex questionnaire data analysis can be handled with any of a number of office suite tools, while more complex questionnaire data analysis requires dedicated market research analysis programs and finally Reporting and presentation: Market research reporting and presentation is easily the second most important step, if not the first. Any business critical information and knowledge that comes from your market research investment will be limited by how it is presented to decision makers. So these are the six steps of Market Research.

Now there are two types of Marketing Research. Descriptive research: Marketing research to better describe marketing problems, situations, or markets. Causal research: marketing research to test hypotheses about cause-and-effect relationships between variables of interest.

Elements of Effective Market Research: Marketing Research is a very important step in the evolution of your business. Without research, you have no basis on which to answer even the most basic questions; questions that you must answer if you truly desire to successfully market your product or service. The questions should base on your price, your market and your competition.

Six Essential Benefits of Market Research:

1. Increases overall competency and understanding of critical research concepts and provides an enhanced ability to make well-informed decisions
2. Provides a cost-effective opportunity to supplement a company's internal training (Discounts for group enrollments are available!)
3. Facilitates a common knowledge bridge with all parties involved in the research process.
4. Provides a specific starting point for people entering the profession.
5. Gives company an objective tool to help develop and promote employees.
6. Assists researchers in understanding and differentiating between good research practices and those which undermine objective and impartial research.

Top 10 Market Research Mistakes: Here are some of the most common mistakes businesses make in conducting market research and tips for avoiding them.

• Overspending
