Official HCG Diet Plan Review Released

The Official HCG Diet Plan has finally been released after much anticipation and has already made a life-altering change in the lives of many participants who have struggled to see success with other weight loss programs.

Unlike many other HCG programs, the Official HCG Diet Plan was bold enough to make this diet method available to everyone online.

After a quick Official HCG Diet Plan review, HCGDietHq.com believes this program help participants to finally live a healthy life at a healthy weight, lose weight without using costly pre-purchased frozen meals, and access scientific strategies to weight loss without injections or costly doctor visits. Early users of the program have been stating they were able to lose weight with little or no exercise regimens, break streaks of failure with other diets and strategies, and finally fit into their old wardrobe of smaller-sized clothing.

"I have been struggling with my weight for the past few years and was diagnosed with Type II diabetes 3 years ago," said Shawn, a participant of the program. "I have been using HCG for 3 weeks and my blood sugar has dropped to normal levels after losing 25 lbs. My doctor told me to stop taking Actos (no longer needed) and if my blood sugar remains constant, I can stop taking Metformin."

Renee C., another participant of the program, said, "Your product does everything you claim and MORE. People around me keep asking about the weight loss and I can't help myself from exploding with all the details. It's so amazing to wake up each day with energy, happy, and in control."

HCG is a hormone that is usually found in pregnant women. It helps the body to utilize fat stored as energy rather than carbohydrates and protein while suppressing appetites. Using HCG to burn fat at an accelerated rate for energy gives participants more energy while trimming their waist, legs, and arms.

Those who wish to buy the program should visit the official site here. On the site one can access the program plus take advantage of the generous offer being made by the Official HCG Diet Plan.

Pacific Amber and YESpay’s Partnership Takes Another Dimension as Large Numbers of Merchants Go Live in North America!

A growing number of merchants in Canada and USA are now Live and EMV Chip & PIN enabled thanks to the trio: Pacific Amber Technologies, YESpay International and Chase Paymentech! Since 2010, merchants using AmberPOS are able to process EMV Chip & PIN transactions via YESpay's fully EMV and PCI-DSS certified payment solution, EMBOSSTM. Adoption is now exploding because of this successful partnership and the increasing need to adopt Chip and PIN in Canada as a result of the EMV liability shift.

With live merchants all across North America, Pacific Amber Technologies constitutes a reliable and valuable partner to both YESpay and Chase Paymentech resulting in the successful national rollout of merchants of all sizes. All three parties are working closely together to be at the front of emerging cutting-edge technologies and to offer the fastest time to market and low-cost EMV payment solution possible to merchants.

Validated for EasyV-Retail, YESpay's EMV card-present payment solution, Pacific Amber Technologies is offering a unique proposition for EMV Chip and PIN and magnetic stripe credit and debit card acceptance in North America with Chase Paymentech as the processor. Live merchants like House of Knives and John Fluevog have been EMV enabled this year and are currently using this joint solution.

With the need to offer multi-channel payment services, Pacific Amber is also integrating EasyV-Internet (YESpay's e-commerce payment solution) to expand its payment service proposition to provide its customers with an e-commerce payment platform.

Both EasyV-Internet and EasyV-Retail support credit and debit card tokenization for free. These unique 'Tokens' or card reference numbers which are linked to individual cardholder details stored in PCI DSS certified EMBOSS data centres, enables merchants to perform marketing functions or make recurring / subscription payments without access to full cardholder details.

By utilizing YESpay's EMV pre-accredited and PCI-DSS certified payment solution, Canadian and US merchants running AmberPOS software are taking advantage of the most cost effective payment service, that securely processes and settles transactions with Chase Paymentech via YESpay's dual data centres. All major EMV credit and debit cards are supported with the EasyV-Retail solution including Visa, MasterCard, Interac, Maestro, Amex, Diners and more. EasyV-Retail also supports on-line PIN validation for both Canadian Interac debit card transactions as well as US magnetic debit transactions.

As Harry Morge, National Sales Manager at YESpay explains, "This strong partnership with Pacific Amber and Chase Paymentech is really fruitful, and is now taking another dimension. Indeed, the merchant base is growing every month, and we jointly assist merchants in both USA and Canada. Pacific Amber will leverage another channel supported by YESpay, namely e-commerce, thus offering a multi-channel solution to its merchants. I am looking forward to continuing developing this relationship!"

For over 15 years, Pacific Amber Technologies has established a proven track record of successfully helping hundreds of retailers across North America. Pacific Amber Technologies chose to integrate with YESpay in order to offer to its customers a managed and multi-channel, pre-accredited payment service at a low monthly cost.

Mike Piotrowski, President of Pacific Amber Technologies comments "The uniqueness of YESpay's payment solution which is fully managed, multi-channel, cross-border and EMV certified, was the answer to our payment needs. We can now enable our numerous merchants to accept integrated payments, as part of our comprehensive point-of-sale solution which is gaining more and more traction in the market. AmberPOS has been a successfu women's jackets l software for years and we are always looking for new ways to provide our customers with more features, including new payment processing options."

3Q Connection Launches Unique Dating Products to Help Singles Find their Own William or Kate

With millions of single people still hoping to find their own prince or princess, 3Q Connection products will give people the ability to make new connections, by meeting face to face. 3Q Connection means going back to a simpler and more natural way of meeting and dating people - no computer or cell phone necessary!

"The concept is ground-breaking," explains Karin Strickler, co-founder of the 3Q Connection. "Wear a piece of 3Q jewellery or clothing and tell the world you are single, open to a conversation and blessed with a sense of humour. The jewellery acts as an ice-breaker, allowing the person who spots the attractive jewellery for singles, to strike up a conversation by asking 3 amusing or at least thought-provoking questions (hence the "3Q" name).

"These questions can range from simply, 'Why do superheroes always wear their underwear on the outside of their clothes?' to the more involved 'Why is Donkey Kong called that, if he's not even a donkey?' to the possible deal-breaker 'Toilet paper – over or under?' This dialogue may in turn lead to who knows - a new friend, business contact, date, or even marriage. Is there anyone on this planet that doesn't need more friends, contacts or love?"

Karin Strickler, a self-professed matchmaker, wanted to design a product that allowed single people to meet in person. Thrust back onto the singles' scene after her marriage dissolved in 1998, the desire to meet someone soon rose to the forefront. She was however, ill-equipped for the challenge. With her self-esteem at an all-time low, and very little time left over fo women's jackets r socializing at night clubs or singles' events (being a single mom), the search seemed frustrating, tedious, and never-ending. Strickler's dating life soon consisted of sifting through many profiles online, trying to discern what was true and who was who.

"In retrospect, what I would have given my eye teeth for, was to casually meet someone whenever I was out and about, at my favourite haunts, like a coffee shop, restaurant, or even book store. That's when the 3Q Connection idea hit me. Here was finally a way for single people to meet anytime and anywhere – plus the added luxury of connecting in their own communities," elaborates Strickler.

"Another advantage," adds Strickler, "especially for the person hoping to start the conversation, is the greatly reduced fear of rejection - men in particular, seem to be very relieved that the single person standing a mere few feet from them, is actually interested in meeting someone new. This knowledge does away with the need for coming up with awkward pick-up lines and leaves egos intact." To see the 3Q Connection concept in "tongue-in-cheek" action, please click on the Youtube link: http://youtu.be/jUZww3Vvo-Q

Rob Strickler, a co-founder and Strickler's husband, believes the company's tagline says it all, "If you wear it, they will come", and reminds people to remember to have fun and enjoy their journey to finding love. The 3Q Connection jewellery and clothing is available online at http://www.3Qconnection.com.
