m e n t a w a i : : f u s i o n ™ Launched.

Know any surfers? Mention the word "Mentawai" and watch the reaction. Unknown until about 15 years ago, the Mentawai archipelago is now widely acknowledged at the No. 1 surf vacation destination on the planet. Hawaiians flock here in during their windy and low swell summer, Aussies love the glassy conditions and high velocity barrels and now the Europeans, Brazilians, Japanese and South Africans are booking.... Not to mention US surfers from both coasts. US surfers make up about 40% of arrivals. Surfing is booming world wide... and surfers have proven to be the most resilient and bullet proof vacation guests one can imagine.

If they hear that a coup has happened and that an area is under a state of emergency, they are just as likely to jump on the next plane to get some uncrowded waves. The terror thing just fires them up. They live for the rush of taking on the death defying experience of launching off powerful waves breaking over dangerous reefs. Other risks seem pretty trivial.

Like everyone they are impacted by the downturn of the economy, but many surfers live for the moment, and they will spend their last savings to get perfect tropical surf.

We have a limited number of Partner Booking Portals* available for qualified people. No travel industry experience is needed. All you need is a network of surfers, a computer, a phone and dedication to promote these unique packages.

Up till the end of this month, Partner Portals are free. From October 1st Partner Portals we will ask Booking Partners for a one time $50 donation to Island Aid to cover the cost of set up.

* MS partners with Adventure Engine, the largest on-line booking portal for adventure vacations in the world.

Welcome to Evolve2Live

Rick with Naboki, a tribal elder from South Siberut in the Mentawai Islands

Hi, I'm Rick and I'm stoked that you have found your way through the world wide web to find this page......I am sitting on my terrace in Sumatra on top of a mountain surrounded by jungle and just about as far from the hustle and bustle of the stressful mad modern world as anyone can be. We have wireless broadband even way out here and the speed is pretty good.

This is the view from my outdoor work station on the terrace.

THINK ABOUT THIS
How will we communicate 5 years from now?

The www connects just under one billion people worldwide today. By 2010 the planet will hit 7 Billion humans. There are about 160 million domain names registered now and about 74% get renewed... so discount that number to 120 million. About 65% of these resolve to a webpage indicating that they are live and in use... so discount again to about 76 million. and some industry experts believe that the total number of domain names will reach 500 million within 10 years.


"Registrants registered more than 14 million new domain names in the first quarter of 2008. The number of new registrations in the first quarter grew by 17 percent over the previous quarter and 15 percent over the previous year. New registrations were in the 12 million per quarter range throughout 2007". Source http://www.verisign.com report on Growth in the Domain Industry 2008

This phenomenon is going to change the way we live forever. It HAS already changed the way we live far more than you think. I'm not talking about the little but important things like instant e-mail delivered free globally.... or live video chats free with anyone in any country.... I'm talking about structural consequences of these changes .... how these changes can liberate and empower future generations and millions who suffer the tyranny of distance and poverty right now. The internet can share prosperity globally. It can be the instrument of peace and enlightenment.

I am thinking about changes in world population patterns. Changes that will be visible from space. Changes that can reverse our mindless squandering of the planets finite resources and make it possible to use the virtually unlimited renewable resources that are everywhere around us. Changes that balance the equation:

ecology = economy = equity

This balance is how I define EVOLVE2LIVE.

A big proportion of the worlds educated and affluent population are going to stop traveling to an 'office' building to 'work' set hours. Office workers will be liberated to work anywhere.

The very idea of an 'office' is based on the collective advantage of a group being able to communicate freely and first hand in one place at one time. All that infrastructure, all those multistory towers, all the massive power consumption and roads and water supplies needed to 'centralize' everything in one place.... that 'age' in human development is OVER..... well almost. For sure in my lifetime.... lets say in the next 20 years. We will green our cities and live in those towers... they are too expensive to consider ripping them down. We will walk to work or work from home.

The planet cant afford for us to travel to work in offices much longer.... it was a phase, an 'age'.... the 'Office Age' if you like. We have to move past that now. We have to evolve!

We are about to witness the next big migration on earth.... we will see millions of people move to live in places they have visited on vacation or learned about from others ! BIG MOVES!

WHERE TO LIVE

We can take our capital and knowledge and move to a better climate and to communities where we can share our skills and make a difference for those who have a thirst for knowledge and just need a hand up to help themselves.

That is what EVOLVE2LIVE is about. Planning for what is coming.... this big movement. Preparing for the next big 'age'.... the 'Dream Age'.... the 'Age of Aquarius'.... the 'Information Age' or whatever you wish to call it.... it will transform societies and communities world wide.

It is happening NOW as a direct result of the explosion of the www....and business and trade is moving to the internet. It is our new global market place.

Our spice market - Fresh!

Thanks for sharing these thoughts with me and stay tuned.

The Dot.WS Phenomenon

How many people do you know who have their own domain name? And their own personal website? like....www.ringostar.ws

Do you have your own personal web site for life yet? Probably not. This service has not been around long but it is growing fast. The company behind Dot.WS was voted by INC magazine as the No 37 fastest growing company in the USA last year. GDI are growing because they share their income with members. The traffic to their website has overtaken the traffic to some of the corporate giants: Visa, AT&T and GE now get less traffic than GDI's website.

For every person you introduce who signs up for a .WS website, you get paid a cash bonus.... PLUS you get paid for life, every month, for every new website that is signed up by your team.

And of course you get a fully equipped website to help you to share this amazing income generator.... and you get a free website builder than anyone can use to create a custom website just for you. You can use it to promote your existing business to a global audience, or you can use it to share photos or news or maybe to write your own blog.

You get your personal domain name for life. You own it and nobody can take it away. Think about the value of some of the Dot.COM domain names out there now. Some are worth millions! Go ahead and register as many Dot.WS domain names as you want. Keep them and they will grow in value..... Get one in your family's name or in the name of the business you own. You can have: www.WhatEverNameYouWant.ws.

You may find you can then claim a bit part of your home overheads as your home office expenses and save far more on your taxes than you pay for the service... $0.35 per day is something that everyone can afford.

And this company shares its revenue with the tiny Pacific island state of Samoa. The are in joint venture with a Samoan government owned company who have granted them the perpetual rights to use Samoa's international country domain code..... Dot.WS

This is a win-win-win relationship for you, for Global Domains International and for the isolated communities in both Samoa and the Mentawai Islands where we operate.

M-Commerce set to Eclipse E-Commerce

Banks always seem to get the upper hand no matter who is right or wrong. They seem to have a strangle hold on so much of what is possible in our lives. A friend steered me to a new solution that could change the way we move money.

We already use our mobile phones to do phone banking and to pay bills (well we do in Australia and Indonesia) and this saves us a lot of running around driving to banks, risking our lives on the ever more congested roads and somehow always involving lots of paper and a big energy guzzling bank building. For most Aussies, a trip to the bank is reserved for special occasions like getting down on your hands and knees to beg for a second mortgage or a bigger overdraft

Now a new phone banking solution is about to be launched internationally. It will herald in a new variant called M-Commerce..... Mobile Commerce. Leave your computer behind and get truly mobile. There are 10 times more mobile phone owners than computer owners on the planet so the potential is huge.

The cost to the end user is much lower than using a credit card and the system is inherently more secure. Every transaction is PIN based so even if the phone is lost or stolen, your money is safe.

The best part of this is YOU DONT NEED TO HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT.... that is correct. Everyone is pre approved and you can charge your account from a participating merchant or from anyone who has an account. Basic accounts are free and user to user transaction fee is $0.10 regardless of the amount.

The next best thing is that users and merchants get to earn EQUITY in the company. That is why they are calling this, SelfBank. What appeals to me is the way this concept can free up island communities in the area where we work. Transport in the islands is now so expensive that it is deeply impacting the buying power of island communities. In our 250 mile long archipelago there is ONE bank! That is right! One bank and no ATMs and you can not imagine how this hurts development. We now have cell phone cover in quite a few places so this idea can take off fast.

SelfBank Mobile have decided to throw 100 million dollars into 'cash' credits and everyone who signs up gets $100 to spend as soon as the system is on-line. Merchants get $500 credit for signing up to a $49.99/month Merchant account but if a Merchant signs up just 5 other Merchants, the monthly fee is waived forever. There is a VIP membership that generates extra bonuses for $3.99 per month and you dont start paying until the system is on-line.

SelfBank Mobile will go global and I just love the idea of getting free of the banks and those hideous interest payments. I like that SelfBank is much more environment friendly than the current banking and credit card system.

Instead of you paying the bank every time you purchase something, SelfBank pays you when you spend money.......and you get to own part of the bank.... there is a lot more to this... I'm not doing a good job of explaining it... click on the banner and take a look. Rick

A Free Network Marketing System - "Score At Will"

There is a lot of buzz about a new beta launch of a marketing system called Score-at-Will. There is also a fair bit of confusion and maybe just a peppering of fear amongst some of the more conservative network market gurus. Kimball Roundy, founder and CEO of The Score-at-Will System has pulled together a team of network market veterans and taken a totally new tack in the highly competitive world of online marketing training. They are giving away their years of knowledge for free and that has some people worried.

Kimball's delivery is a tad "in your face" at first and you will find yourself reacting to his very direct and confident approach. I'm sure that in the same room he would be a force to be reckoned with and so I suggest you brace yourself, see past what sounds like hyperbole, and get to the nitty gritty goodies that will be revealed. After you experience what Score-at-Will has to offer you will see why Kimball is excited. The guts of this thing are amazing. Remember it is a VEHICLE complete with a big TOOL KIT. What you load in the car is up to you.

Think of this like a high performance car... all chrome and gloss on the outside... all pure business under the hood. (Don't forget, red and black are Ferrari's colors!)


The videos are outstandingly clear and easy to follow. Being able to watch someone explain each step while they actually do it on screen is just so relaxing and easy... simply brilliant!

As you follow the steps Kimball will make compelling arguments for signing up to the paid-for upgrades. Remember these are all options.

The GDI personal domain name and hosting deal for $10 per month is pretty much a no-brainer for most marketers who are serious about their business. If you dont want the Score-at-Will landing page up there, then change the index page to one of your own or keep the GDI default landing page. But remember, this is not essential to your training and participation in the Score-at-Will marketing system. You dont have to pay for any of the businesses and sites unless you want to.

The income streams may not all deliver big money but with 22 to choose from and more being added every month, you can just skip what does not fit with your business strategy.

Remember the key to this 'System' is that you can use the techniques and skills you will learn to enhance ANY on-line business. Also bear in mind that the back end of Score-at-Will is still in Beta and so there are some modifications in progress. The forum is now functioning and you can contact your sponsor for help.

This is one of those rare birds that appears from time to time... when you can say to yourself, "What have I got to loose?"

Take it for a spin... brace yourself, this system turbocharged and driving it is great fun! Enjoy.
