Here’s a quick little video tutorial that will show you how to shut off the spell check option in MindManager Pro 7.

MM Pro 7 has been upgraded to the new Microsoft Office 2007 standard and the ribbon makes navigating options very fast and easy. However, it is a little tricky to find a few of the more obscure but very necessary options in MindManager Pro 7.

Why would you want to turn off spell check in MindManager Pro 7?

I often times need to shut off the automatic spell check option before I take a screen shot of a mindmap. I do not want to see the little red squigly lines underneath names that are not in the spell check dictionary.

If you are not currently covered with travelers insurance by your employer nor covered by your credit card company, or if they do not cover you fully for a number of different scenarios you may want to consider picking up travel insurance when you travel outside the United States or the country that you reside in.

A recent press release by TravelSafe Insurance, a company that has been providing Travel Insurance for the last 37 years, highlights the benefits of a person can receive from protecting themselves with travel insurance.

When you travel abroad, your health insurance does not always cover you in hospitals located in foreign countries. Even if it does cover you sometimes it cannot pay for the service upfront and you must do that in cash or with a supplemental policy. American Express may reimburse your travelers checks if they’re lost, but sometimes it takes travel insurance to reimburse you for lost luggage and clothing. Furthermore if you have to cancel the trip because of the hurricane or some other event, travel insurance can reimburse you the cost of the plane tickets.

 Several men around the country are waiting to be sentenced for selling expensive factory management software for pennies on the dollar through eBay.  In multiple different instances from Rockwell Automation was sold for pennies on the dollar.  As an example Robert Koster of Jonesboro Arkansas sold over $5 million for the software for less than $25,000.

This raises a red flag for tires of software on eBay.  If the deal looks like it might be too good to be true, odds are it probably is.  EBay does a number of things to protect buyers and sellers of its goods but it can do everything in at the end of the day you are purchasing a product from another person, if they’re selling $1 million software for a few thousand dollars odds are something is a little fishy.

For publisher, web masters and blogger, it is easy to install a little bit of Adsense code and install it on a web page.

For advertisers its a different story.  It takes a little more know how and experience to run a successful PPC campaign.

I personally advise that new advertisers start very small and get some experience with the system.  Do not expect big results from starting small, look at it more like paying for a lesson in navigating Google’s Adwords program or Yahoo!’s publisher program.

Once you have a feel for how to navigate things and purchase advertising campaigns then you will be ready for some more advanced options.

In that regard I’d recommend doing some additional web research to get your bearings.  A good place to start to get the overview is the Beginner’s Guide to PPC Management.  Its a free white paper.   Its not a download its just a web page

This guide can help you get started and focused in the right direction and you can expand from there.  If you represent a large company looking to run a major advertising campaign, then I recommend hiring a Pro SEM marketing company that specifically specializes in PPC campaigns.  Regardless, before you hire the pro I do think its good to get a feel for how these things work so that you can better understand the parameters and the work involved.

This understanding will help you ask better questions and scope out the job more appropriately.

A little story that has slipped under the radar involves American Express.  According to the July issue of Forbes, American Express has disclosed that they have set aside $60 million to fight off money laundering and was cooperating with the Justice Department.  The DEA has separately disclosed that it is their investigation that involves American Express and that it involves Black Market Exchange Accounts.

This involves a complex web of Colombian drug dealers for example providing American Cash to Colombian importers purchasing something that can readily be sold again any where in the world.  Like cigarettes.

They purchase the cigarettes from a US wholesaler and arrange through a middle man to pay in US currency.  They pay a middle man in pesos, the middle man swaps out the pesos for dollars and pays the US wholesaler in dollars.  The wholesaler makes a trip across the border to collect payment, comes back and deposits the funds in a US bank.

The middle man gives the pesos to the drug dealer.

Money Laundered

It has not yet been described how much American Express is involved in this investigation nor how they are cooperating.
