Discover How To Create An Iphone Or Ipad App&game

Click Here to Get Instant Access

DylanHi. My name is Peng Li but some of my friends call me Dylan... I'm the developer of Green App Machine - a suite of superior software developed to automate the building of mobile apps for smartphones.

Apps that are making us crazy money – virtually "set-and-forget money"... on auto-pilot..

I'm going to show you how we're doing it.

Look...the whole world is going mobile. Apps have changed the simple mobile phone into a smartphone – a mobile computer.

Everyone is switching from desktop and laptop computers to handheld smartphones running apps.

Not so long ago a "smart" phone was one that let you access a calendar and e-mails.

Ask anyone carrying an iPhone or Android phone these days what makes their phones "smart" and they'll quickly tell you - "It's the apps, doh!"

Maybe you've got a smartphone in your pocket right now. And you're using apps to access Facebook, YouTube, Skype, Google Maps or Gmail.

Or you're having fun with a game like the Angry Birds app or sharing photos with the Instagram app.






That means 1 in 7 people on the planet are on a Smartphone running Apps.

More than 50% of Americans use a smartphone.

Amazing huh? And that figure is growing at an incredible rate.

Soon everyone will be on a Smartphone. The costs are coming right down.


Already there has been 40 BILLION downloads of Apps – thats how popular they are.

The average American, for instance, has 41 Apps on his smartphone.





And our smartphones are always with us and Always On. We can't function without them.

We carry them with us all the time. We work with them. We play with them. We eat with them. We sleep with them within arm's reach...

And they're the first thing we grab when we wake up in the morning.

Mobile Apps have become part of our daily lives.

Mobile Apps is a HUGE industry – worth 40 BILLION DOLLARS annually.




Here's the thing...there are HUGE opportunities to monetize the boom in apps.

More than 30 million apps are downloaded around the world every day.

Does that look like a "Hungry Crowd" to you? You bet! People are eating up Apps and they can't get enough of them.

So whats this got to do with you and me?

Simple – we can grab a slice of that pie – building and monetizing Mobile Apps.





Before I tell you more about my Mobile Apps software...let me just give you a quick background on how I got involved in the App Industry.

I wasn't always a Mobile Apps Developer. I may have started out in life as a train-spotting geek but I actually did a Civil Engineering degree in Australia. I was looking forward to a future planning, designing and managing construction projects.

And now I'm planning, designing, constructing and managing a Mobile Apps business.


Weird huh? But really its not that surprising. I was always into technology, gadget and games.

While I was studying at university...or supposed to be studying...I was playing a lot of World of Warcraft. Yeah I was one of those tragics. I couldn't get enough of it. In fact I played World of Warcraft 12 hours straight one day.

I eventually got my degree but I'm a bit ashamed to say I wasted an awful lot of time playing World of Warcraft and other games.

When I came back to Malaysia...the economy wasn't so good. And there weren't any jobs for Civil Engineers – especially ones with a brand-new degree and no experience.

So I took what I could get and ended up on a construction site run by Mister Moo - a friend of my Uncle.

My job title was "Assistant Foreman" - but really I was just Moo's slave.

And I don't want to be anybody's slave, thanks very much.

This wasn't the glorious future I'd mapped out for myself. This wasn't what I was expecting after four hard years at university and working as a dish-pig washing dishes in a Laksa Noodle Bar.

So I was already thinking about ways I could have my own online business. And I became interested in Apps.

I could see the potential.

I could see early adopters – developers of this technology, were making some serious money.

And I wanted some of that. Beats working on a construction site. Or being a dish-pig.








Now I'm just going to quickly give you the "backstory" - how I managed to come up with a software system to monetize mobile apps.

If you've been online for awhile you would have heard of MFA sites - "Made for Adsense" websites. They used to be all the rage until Google banned them.

Basically...guys were scraping content from the net and whacking up websites targeting "longtail keywords" - low competition keywords that still have decent traffic.

They were monetizing the sites with Google's Adsense and cleaning up.


They bought cheap keywords from AdWords and sent the visitors to their sites that also displayed ads, but for more expensive keywords.

It was a numbers game. Each site may have only made a few dollars a day but these guys had autoblogging software that enabled them to build 20 or 30 sites a day and they were going for it.

Some guys were literally pulling hundreds of thousands of dollars a month from their MadeForAdsense sites.

Then in 2007 the party was over. Google changed its algorithms and sandboxed a lot of these MFA sites – took them off their Search Engine and kicked the makers off their Adsense program.

It was good for the Web – it improved the Search Results. But not so good for the guys who relied on their monthly Adsense check to run their fancy cars and power their superyachts. LOL.

So the situation we have with Mobile Marketing at the moment is kind of similar to the old Made-For-Adsense days.

And the key to it is...get in early and find the HOT keywords.

We're not building Apps like the next Instagram or another Angry Birds App – that's way too complicated.

We've found a virtual "sure-fire" way of quickly building simple mobile apps and making good money off them...






The beauty of this opportunity is...anyone can do it. Even your Grandma or your kid.

We've automated App-Building to a few clicks of the mouse.

It doesn't matter what your background or experience...with the help of our software you can find great keywords and within minutes build a mobile app around that keyword.

This is something that you can start in your spare time and then go full-time as you have success.
You don't need an office...you don't need a website...you don't even need a mobile phone. And you certainly don't need piles of start-up cash and a team of programmers.

All you need is a desire to succeed.

As I keep saying – the doors are wide open on this. The mobile apps industry is just getting started and opportunities abound.

An opportunity like this may never come along again in our lifetime.

What we're doing here is tapping into a new underdeveloped market where there is more demand than supply.

Whatever apps you put out there immediately gets scooped up by hoards of buyers – the fabled "Hungry Crowd" - that every marketer dreams about.

This is like the Dawn of the Internet – only 10 times bigger.

But it gets even better...




This apps market is growing exponentially – meaning its growing very rapidly. You have to understand this about Mobile Apps: essentially its about how people are using this technology to CONNECT WITH THE WORLD.

Apps are fundamentally changing the way we communicate and relay information.

Apps are fast becoming part of everybody's life – pretty much how the computer was readily adopted. But this is much bigger than computers.

We are walking around with a device – a smartphone - that is ALWAYS ON. Thats the big difference.

And that Always On phone could be running dozens of apps.

We have apps that can control cars, teach you how to be a music producer, how to play the piano, teach you a language and even an app you hold up to the radio and it will tell you what song is playing and who the artist is.

Some people have downloaded hundreds of apps to their phone.

This business will only get bigger and bigger. Apps are here to stay.




Guess what?...this is even bigger than the birth of the internet. Ten times BIGGER. This is the new online Goldrush. Smartphones running Apps will DOUBLE to 2 Billion users in less than three years.






Now is the time to get in on the ground-floor. It's still early days in the Mobile Apps industry. Market penetration is still relatively low. There is HUGE scope for future growth.






The beauty of Green App Machine is that all of the hard work is done for you. From out-of-the-box your Mobile App-building business is ready to go.

You can begin building your Apps Empire as soon as you get your Green App Machine License.

You don't have to write code...you don't have to hire developers...you don't have to run Beta groups to test your software. We've done all that for you.

It took us 6 months and a fair bit of money to develop Green App Machine. Now you get to benefit from that and fast-track your start-up Mobile Apps business.

By the way – it's called "machine" because we're making apps for Android phones using the Google Play store...and the entire process is automated – like a machine.






Green App Machine is designed so that you have your very own Mobile App in just a few clicks of the mouse.

It takes just 12 minutes to set up your app.

With a few clicks all you have to do is...

Zero technical knowledge is needed. Absolutely none. Even if you don't fully understand what's involved in building an app – you soon will.

You simply check a few boxes (even most of these are pre-filled) and your app is magically created for you in 12 minutes.




To find a compelling niche takes 3 minutes.

Filling out the fields can be done in 7 minutes - by selecting which modules you want to introduce on your new app.

And of course you are going to want a nice cover photograph and Icon. Finding one of these on the internet that you have the rights to use can take 2 minutes and then you are done.




Of course you can take longer if you like. But if we are talking about efficiency, then this is your target number.

Green App Machine is designed so that you OWN a "mobile app building machine" that can pump out a million apps – if that's what you want to do.






The average Mobile App earns approximately $1 per download for the owner of that app. Now this $1 can be calculated different ways.

One way is by charging people for that app. Say 99 cents. Of which the owner of the app gets approximately 69 cents after Google Play app store takes its cut.

More lucrative than this is giving the app away for free and making the income via AdMob, and other methods.






When I first looked at making Apps it was hard to get the download numbers to justify spending $5000 or something for a programmer to make just ONE APP.

Especially when we weren't sure if we could make that money back.

So we had the Green App Machine software built to automate the process so that we had ZERO COST per app.

We already knew the Apps made money – that was a GIVEN.

Now with Green App Machine we've been able to reduce our creation costs to almost nothing - meaning we've placed ourselves in effective and full control of our income.

Depending on our needs, we just open up the Green App Machine and make a few more apps here and there.

If we are feeling lazy...then we just stop making new apps and just watch the downloads POUR in daily from all the apps that we have previously made.




So thats what this machine is all about – software that automates the building of Apps.

Because we're talking of a numbers game here. To make really good money we need to fire up the Green App Machine to pump out as many apps as possible. In about 12 minutes per app.

Before too long you'll have a portfolio of money-earning apps. Apps that will be earning you money in a variety of ways – through Downloads, Pushes and direct sales to small businesses.

Everyone loves apps. Try it yourself – show your phone to somebody and say "Hey...you seen this App?"

But the appsolutely best part with this system is that you don't need to do all the usual stuff that comes with online marketing. No boring and tedious stuff.




It is a completely automated residual process that works and keeps on working.

My software system doesn't require any upkeep. I just put the mobile apps up and check my account every morning to see how many more downloads I have.


Forget all the coding nightmares and tech mumbo jumbo. My fool-proof 5 step method will show you exactly how fast & simple it really is to create your own app, even if you've never owned a smartphone or an Android product in your life. How cool is that?


I know that you can see the virtually limitless profit that can be made with mobile Apps. You also know the secret to "automate" the creation of your Apps using the Green App Machine software.

But you are still probably wondering what exactly is included with your Green App Machine license.

Obviously the Green App Machine Software... but that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Take a look at what powers this machine. You get everything you need to point and click your way to your very own App Empire...






Green App Machine


The Original Beast. Green App Machine is the core component software that allows you to create your own mobile niche apps with a few clicks of the button.


Using in-line technology, CD creates up-to-date, beautiful and technologically-advanced optimized apps that are sure to get massive rankings on the app store and garner you thousands of downloads.

Keyword Machine


The Secret Sauce of App Niche Research. Proper keyword research is the difference between an app with tens of thousands of downloads and ones with NOTHING.

The "old" methods of keyword research do not apply anymore. Keyword Machine is an innovative program that allows you to deep-research Android niches and efficiently pick the winners and discard the losers.

Without Keyword Machine you would risk investing a lot of time, money and effort into niches that have little to no potential returns.

Green App Premium Theme


Green App Machine Premium Theme is a unique Wordpress theme designed for turning your WordPress Blog into a mobile promotion machine.

CD Premium Theme will allow you to leverage large amounts of "web traffic" and funnel those visitors to the high-value download of your Green App Machine apps.

CD Premium Theme is the bridge that spans the chasm between the web and mobile.

Tier 1 Training


The Tier 1 Training module comes with hours of detailed instructional videos and hundreds of pages of comprehensive PDFs.

This training section is a mobile app marketers dream. It not only explains how to use all the "buttons and knobs" on the Green App Machine software, but it also gives detailed guidance on how to actually structure the apps you create into a profitable business.

The 4 Hour Cash Machine


If you want to fast-track the Tier 1 Training and "get started right now" ...

The 4 Hour Cash Machine is a quick-start guide on how others have gotten their app business going within the first 4 hours.

There's a great chance that you could find quick success in the first 4 hours - just by following this guide.


And that is just the tip of the iceberg. There are always new features being added to the Green App Machine Mobile Engine. In fact, here are just some of the "Unique" true features you are going to get once you have in your hand your very own Green App Machine License.







True Unlimited Apps - Some app creators will charge you a monthly fee PER app that is exorbitant. This is just not a practical business model. With Green App Machine you get True Unlimited Apps.

That means with your license you can create and own as many Apps as you like with no per app charge or maintenance fees.

It is important for you to have full control over your business with the ability to scale and the reason why TRUE Unlimited Apps are critical to your business success.
With Green App Machine you get the complete business toolkit in one go. Meaning that with your license, you will have access to Push as much as you like whenever you like. It is your App so you have that right.


In addition you'll have access and be integrated into the Tapgage marketplace where you can actually get paid on a CPM basis for allowing others to serve their own push notifications to all of the people that have installed you app. Think about the possibilities.

AdMob+ Integration - With AdMob+ Integration you instantly have the option to display ads from ADMob or up to 9 other mobile monetization networks on your apps.

You can also take advantage of a special embedded feature that allows you to custom display your own ads. So if you wanted to cross-promote your other apps or do a special affiliate promotion, then you can get this going with just a few clicks.

This method is a KEY way to start earning money with your niche apps and available only on Green App Machine.
Premium Green App Machine Support - When you submit a support ticket you want a real person to reply and not just some outsourced "robot" that barely understands your questions and is copying and pasting something that doesn't even give you a proper answer.

We don't like this either! We understand that Green App Machine is a Premium product and requires Premium support. Each one of our individually-trained Green App Machine support staff is an actual user of Green App Machine as well and has their own AppBusiness.

So you can rest assured when you ask a question of our support desk that you are going to be getting back an answer you can depend on.




Now is the perfect time to start a mobile apps business while there is low-competition.

It's a "Blue Ocean" moment – with more demand than supply in a wide-open, low-competition marketplace.

Its like this...how many times have you had a great idea but never followed through on it, only to see a year later that you missed the boat?

If you're anything like me that's probably happened to you a bunch of times. And you go on to agonize over your inability to take action with "If only I'd ..."

That sucks doesn't it? Especially if you see someone take your idea and run with it. Just because you've been too hesitant to move out of your comfort-zone. Or you couldn't find the money to develop your idea.

Or even worse – you open your mouth at the wrong time and some opportunist overhears your conversation...steals your ideas and goes on to make a fortune with it.

Ouch.

I wouldn't mind betting you're sitting there mulling this Mobile Apps opportunity over.

You know it makes sense...you know the price is right...the timing is right...you know the apps business is smoking-hot...you know you can make a go of it and yet...you're plagued with doubt - the old "what ifs?".

I know what you're going through. I've been there myself many times.

Lets see what other buyers are saying about Green App Machine. These are real users - not some super computer geeks - but regular folks just like you and I. Read what they have to say.






I'm willing to bet if you've found this page that you've been interested in establishing your own online business for awhile.

Maybe you're sick of your job. Or you're to be made redundant. Or maybe you're like I was at construction site – wasting your talents and dancing to somebody else's tune.

So while I don't know you personally...I know one thing – you're serious about tapping into a great online opportunity. Thats what you've been searching for.

Or maybe your online experience has been a bit rocky? Maybe you've bought some completely dud products that didn't work and you lost your money. So you're cautious of repeating that mistake.

I can understand that. I was like that too. Trying this/trying that. I've spent thousands on Internet Marketing products. My hard drive is full of them.

I know what its like to get excited about a new product...give it a go...and then realize that things are not what you expected. That its over-complicated...too much like hard work...and only pays peanuts.

How many Plug-ins and software have you bought that don't do what it says on the tin? Too many I bet. And thats just more time and money wasted.




This is not a fly-by-night operation. Here today – gone tomorrow. My team has been behind some of the most successful launches on the internet.

We've had multiple #1 Clickbank Smash Hits and are part of Clickbank's "Premier Elite" program. Which basically means we've sold an awful lot of product on Clickbank – millions of dollars worth.

This is a proven system. One that has been in development for the last year or so. And it's constantly being upgraded and improved on – like all good software.

What you have here is a proven automated software system that can make you money online - without investing a lot of time and energy. Without pouring thousands of dollars into a start-up.

Green App Machine is "push button" easy and you could build your first App today.




We say "12 minutes" - thats about the average time. But I have been known to bang one out in less than half that time – 5 ½ minutes.

But even if it took you half and hour to make an app (it won't) ...how many mobile apps do you think you can make in a day?

Quite a few yeah?

And there's a number of ways of monetizing the apps. As we'll show you once you're inside.

But here's just one of the ways. I call this "The Money For Nothing & Your Checks for Free" method.

Now if you were a small businessman with...oh I don't know...let's say you have a Mexican Restaurant in Downtown Burbank. And you've got quite a bit of competition. You have a website but no mobile presence.

I walk in with a Mobile App for your Mexican Restaurant - already made and installed on my phone.

I don't even have to say a word – I just show you YOUR APP on the phone. With all the bells and whistles – your opening times...your valet parking...your menu...your daily specials...your GPS co-ordinates.

How easy to you think that sale will be?

Thats just one of the ways to make money with Green App Machine. But thats a very powerful way. You can virtually name your own price. Charge the guy $1000 plus a monthly maintenance fee.

So...you've seen what the Machine can do...you can see its very affordable...you can see there's a watertight guarantee. But you might still be asking yourself "is this a good thing?...Will I be able to get up and running quickly and easily?...Will I make money?"

The answer is "Yes...Yes...Yes!".

Question: I am prepared to make the initial investment to get started with Green App Machine...but I know that sometimes there are extra costs that creep up before I can actually start earning. Can you give me an idea of what else I am going to have to invest in and where to get it after I buy Green App Machine?

Answer: Very important question to ask because you need to know the whole picture before you plunge forward. Some courses will teach you or give you templates to actually develop a complicated app. What some people do not understand is that you will have to spend another $3000-$5000 on a "outsourcer" to actually make the app for you.

Others will give you some "software" to make apps but then they charge you $79 per month PER app or even a Flat Fee per APP you make! No matter the model, these costs ADD UP and certainly are not free.

The wonderful thing about Green App Machine is that it was designed with the user (you) in mind. So it has no extra costs. With your Green App Machine license you can build UNLIMITED APPS with no extra fee per app. The beauty is that you also own these outright. Other companies actually retain ownership rights to the apps so you are not actually building mobile real estate but paying someone else so they can build assets.

You will have to pay the Android store (Google Play) a $25 fee for a lifetime of app uploads.
Question: Can you tell me again about the different business models I can use with Green App Machine?

Answer: Ahh, straight to the point. Now while I never underestimate the ingenuity of my customers to come up with ideas to use my software beyond what I can provide...let me tell you about the #1 business model with Green App Machine. The Green App Machine Cloud model involves using Keyword Machine (included) to do an App "niche" research to find underdeveloped niches with lots of searches and very few apps.

What you do then is put up an App with Green App Machine and generally allow it to be downloaded for free (you can charge if you want as well, but testing shows that we actually earn more money by giving away for free). You are integrated with up to 10 different mobile ad networks including Google AdMob which will help you monetize your apps so that you can collect major commissions. My top grossing app is earning me over $400 per day right now and that is just one of hundreds so you can do the math and watch the commissions add up. Alternative Method– Virtual Real Estate - Since with your Green App Machine License you actually OWN all of your own apps...you can build a significant portfolio of Mobile Apps and then sell your business. Easy? Well it is more of a long-term strategy, but it does offer a goal and a significant forecast to work towards.
Question: Can I use this to build a game like Angry Birds?

Answer: To build a game like Angry Birds would likely cost you minimum $10,000 to get started with an outsourcer and that would just be the beginning of your investment.

Green App Machine is a different business model that allows you to build both Niche-information apps that you can monetize via AdMob and Small Business Apps that you can sell to your client base. Since you have the ability to create unlimited apps this is a much more "predictable" income stream which gives you the potential to expand your business via the intelligent scaling models we provide
Question: Do I need my own Smartphone to use Green App Machine?

Answer:Funnily enough you can actually build your entire Mobile App Empire and NEVER even own a Smartphone or tablet yourself. That is how the internet works. All-inclusive within the Green App Machine Platform - you can build, test and distribute your app without even having an iPhone or Android phone of your own. However, after you make a bit of money, it may be a cool idea to get one - just so you can get in on the craze!
Question: Will Green App Machine Work in other Countries than the USA and other Languages than English?

Answer:Great question. You can customize the text of the tabs and buttons within Green App Machine to any Roman language. (so no Japanese for example) So when creating your app, you simply change these key navigation aspects to your language. In addition the content you put in the Apps is created by you so it can be in your own language and targeted to you.
Question: Do I need my own website for this? Where are the "Apps" Hosted?

Answer: The Apps are hosted on the Google Play Store, so you do not need your own website to use Green App Machine.

However, for those that do own existing websites, with your Green App Machine license you will be given access to the Premium Wordpress plugin WPDroid which when enabled will, among other things, drive mobile visitors of your website to your app - hence leveraging your existing website traffic in order to increase your App downloads.
In addition with your license of Green App Machine you will be given access to the complete Machine Theme Premium. This is an originally-designed and optimized from the ground up Wordpress theme that is designed to specifically draw and drive more traffic to your mobile app.

So the answer is "no" - you don't need a website and can do just fine without one. However...with the provided tools you may want to consider using web-promotion as part of your Machine-building toolkit.
Question: I heard about XXXXX offering a similar service to build apps. How is Green App Machine different?

Answer: Great question. There are numerous "App Makers" out their on the market. Some "claim" to be free, while others claim to offer "unlimited" apps. While a few just have a fancy logo and openly gouge you on price.

The reality is that if you do a direct feature comparison on what sort of apps Green App Machine and its "competitors" can produce...then generally Green App Machine has all of the features of the other ones, but a few more that we review above on this page. The reason for this is we studied all of our competitors and made sure that our App-builder was a much better product.

Even more important than this, Green App Machine is offering what we call TRUE UNLIMITED Apps. Meaning that with your Green App Machine License you get to create as many apps as you like with your license with no extra 'per app' charge. Make as many as you like. Do whatever you like with them. No Extra charges. Period.
Question: I have heard that some of these services don't let you own your apps. Will I own my Apps with Green App Machine?

Answer: ABSOLUTELY YES, you maintain 100% legal ownership of all your apps with Green App Machine. Before we expand let me tell you a short story. A good friend of mine and fellow software developer, started experimenting with Mobile Apps last year.

At the time there was a certain service that for $79 a month they would let you build ONE APP. (yes...$79 for one app) which is crazy expensive by today's standards. Well what happened is he built the App using their system and they submitted it to the AppStore for him. He was a clever marketer and knew how to do proper App Niche research and before long his App was earning $500 a day in revenue. Not bad.

However what happened next was a major wake-up call for his business. He went and read the fine print and realized that he in fact did not own this app. Rather the company that he was paying $79 a month to maintained legal ownership of this app.

So in theory at any moment they could simply "take over" and take his $500 a day and he would have no recourse. Fortunately they haven't done that (yet) but they did something almost as bad.

They actually went and made a direct copy of his App...just changing a few things around and took over his top position on the AppStore. Suddenly his income dropped dramatically. When he confronted them about it, they admitted to copying him and told him to read the terms of service. Ugghh.

So again, the answer is that with Green App Machine you maintain 100% complete legal ownership and control of your App. This is IMPERATIVE because down the road you are going to want to sell your Apps and your app business for x18 the monthly income so you need to own it in order to sell it.
Question: I need to use Green App Machine to make money in the next 48 hours. Is this possible?

Answer: Green App Machine is not a "Business Opportunity" nor a "get rich quick" scheme. It is software toolkit that generates Mobile apps according to your certain criteria. We can recommend some techniques that others have followed to get started quickly and these are covered in the 4 Hour Cash Machine and we have seen many find MASSIVE success by following this guide.

However, as with all online businesses, ultimately you are responsible for your own success which depends upon a number of factors including proper plan, ability and commitment. More on this within The 4 Hour Cash Machine Quick Start Guide.
Question: I know this is going to work for me and I am sold. Please tell me how I can acquire my exclusive license of Green App Machine?

Answer: As many people are already aware, there are a limited number of Green App Machine licenses being released today at a very special market rate.

The deal is that after these licenses are sold out, then Green App Machine will be removed from the market and you will no longer be able to acquire a license. This means that if you want to secure your license of Green App Machine, then you need to act now and click on this link, as this page may be removed at any moment.
Question: I know I want Green App Machine but maybe not today. Can I come back and get it later?

Answer: See the above question. The reality is that as soon as our limited licenses are sold...then this page will be removed...the training will begin and you will be left out.

The bottom line is that if you want to get in on your exclusive license of Green App Machine, then this is your only chance. Tomorrow may be too late.
Question: Ok, I am going to get my Green App Machine but I still have my doubts. Is there any sort of Guarantee so I can try it out?

Answer: Yes, we make it easy and a no-brainer for you. We offer a 100% unconditional 60 day money back guarantee.

This means that for whatever reason (or no reason - you don't need to give us one) you would like a refund...just contact our support desk within 60 days of purchase and your refund will be issued no-quibble/no hassle.

From the desk of David Tinney, Author "Why Not Fly For Free"

Good Morning Friend,

"There's a way to avoid your anger, embarrassment and regret..."


That's what I told my friend, Eric, recently. Eric told me he and his wife haven't been on a vacation together for more than 4 years. Over a cup of coffee, he was explaining, or should I say making excuses, why he couldn't take his wife on a romantic holiday.


Eric's situation made me angry because I know and practice little known secrets how to travel, take vacations and get airline tickets for practically nothing, almost free!

Now, you also have access to same secrets, tricks and strategies I use to get free travel.

Imagine how happy you'll feel when you save hundreds, perhaps even thousands, on your next trip or vacation? It's up to you to make it happen.

FAMOUS UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE

I'm so sure you'll be happy with my e-Book that I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. If you're unsatisfied for any reason with my e-Book, just let me know anytime within 60 days of your purchase and I'll refund every penny you paid...NO QUESTIONS ASKED!

Your Satisfaction Is My Only Goal!

Listen up...I've got the perfect no-risk solution for you...even if you rarely fly on an airplane...that's right, even if you've never bought an airline ticket.

Travel Agent tells his secrets

I've been beating the airlines at their own game for more than 15 years, flying almost free 98% of the time.You can use the same strategy that I've used to get 63 free airline tickets over the last 15 years.

Even though the price of airline tickets have gone out of site because of skyrocketing fuel prices and increased costs of airport security, there's still a way you can beat the system's high prices.

My name is David Tinney and I own a travel agency in the midwest United States. Our specialty is selling discount international airline tickets. I've written a guide that shows how you can travel practically free just about anywhere in the world.

That's right, after more than 20 years in the travel industry, I'm giving up all my secrets and little tricks I've learned and been using myself.

But you don't have to own a travel agency like I do for this to work. You'll learn the strategies to make it happen. My guide teaches you how to turn expenses into free travel...including:

   Learn: secrets the airlines DON'T want you to know
   Learn: how your kids fly free
   Learn: strategy I use to get free airline tickets
   Learn: how you can save up to 70% on First or Business Class
   Learn: to fly anywhere in the world, only pay the ticket's tax
   Learn: how to take a vacation free, including airline tickets and hotel
   Learn: the truth about last minute airfares

I seperate the fact from the fiction. I'm amazed at how uninformed the public is about how the airline industry works and thinks. The simple fact is, we've been duped by the slick advertising campaigns the airlines are pitching to us.

We believe the myths they're shoving at us and it's costing us hundreds of dollars of our hard earned money!

For instance, here are some myths the airlines have led you to believe:

  Myth: Cheapest fares are always found online.

  Truth: Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the really discounted fares that are available.

  Myth: Buy your ticket direct from an airline will get you a good deal.

  Truth: Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a special kind of airline ticket, which is almost always cheaper than anything the airlines offer. FYI, the cheapest airfares are sold only by travel agencies.

  Myth: The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.

  Truth: This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.

Airline Executive Reveals Prices...

I also include in the guide a revealing interview with an airline executive who explains in layman's terms the complex system the airlines use to determine the price they charge the public.

From this interview, you'll get the advice from an executive of one of the top airlines in the world how to consistantly purchase airline tickets at rock bottom prices. This information is not available anywhere I know of. It's probably the first time a top airline official has revealed the inner workings of the industry.

He confirms what I have been saying as a travel agent how the price of an airline ticket is determined and it's contrary to what you hear in their advertising message.

Obviously, I cannot reveal this gentleman's name or the airline he works for but you'll be shocked by what he revealed to me.

Hello David,

There's no fluff and extra filler in my guide. Just facts, a simple formula that has worked for me. Real, practical tips how to earn free travel. Tips you can put into practice today.

Travel Insider Reveals All

You're going to learn and benefit from my experience. With over a decade in the travel industry, I know the inside secrets, what works and what doesn't.

There's a lot of scams out there. I've gotten some in the mail, saying I have won a free cruise and blah, blah, blah. Call the 800 number and find out they want $100 deposit before they'll talk to you.

It's not about being an air courier. Thats ancient news, and besides you can't take anybody with you as a courier. Oh, and it also costs $200-300 per year just to get on the list as a courier. Then you still have to pay for a portion of the ticket. Is that a good deal? I think not.

I'm going to give you information that will make you a more savvy traveler, armed with information that will save you bucks.

Why Not Fly Free gives a workable plan to attain a goal. The goal of free travel. Simple, yet extremely effective.

Realize your Dreams Now

Like I said, I've owned a travel agency for more than 20 years. My office has planned literally tens of thousands of vacations and trips.

I remember once a man and his wife sat across from me at my desk. They were planning their dream vacation for them and their two kids. They told me they'd been saving five years for this vacation. Scrimping and saving for five years so they could take the kids to Florida, their family vacation of a lifetime.

As I listened to this man and wife, I felt so sorry for them. Because they didn't know the secrets in this guide, their family dreams were unfulfilled.

Is this what you've been doing? Cutting corners, skipping lunch all week to save some extra bucks for that dream vacation?

Thats great but there's a better way. My guide shows you exactly how you can travel practically free.

A few nights ago, my wife and I were watching TV and a commercial came on. In one scene, it showed the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I turned to her and said, "We've been there, we've seen that." Turning, she smiled and took my hand. Her squeeze told me, "Thank you."

See, you don't have to be rich to realize your travel dreams. All you have to know is the right information. It's not hard, you don't have to be a rocket scientist. Just follow the simple steps I outline.

It's been said this time in which we live is the age of information. It's true, having the right information at the right time can be very beneficial, right? My guide leads you with the right information how to accumulate free travel.

I've learned that dreams don't automatically happen. You have to do something to make them a reality. The guide will show you exactly what to do, how to reach your travel dreams, step by step.

Most of us spend 3 to 4 hours a night in front of the TV. You can read the guide in less time than that. And learn how to make those travel dreams come true. Your wife and kids will be glad you did.

The Temple of Luxor



The Temple of Luxor is a must see site on any trip to Egypt; it is a testimony to the history of the continuous history of Egypt, beginning from the 18th dynasty of Ancient Egyptian rule to the 14th century AD when a mosque was built in the complex to commemorate Abu Al-Haggag, who is responsible for bringing Islam to Luxor.
Many pharaohs played a part in building this temple over the years including Tutankhamen, Hatshepsut, Ramses II, and Amenhotep III; as you walk through the temple you can see the contributions of each one usually where you find statues and images of them carved in the walls.
The Romans and later the Christians also had an effect on the temple.
The temple of Luxor is incredibly rich with the chronicles of the past, see descriptions of the battle of Kadesh, accounts of the festival of Opet, the tale of how Amenhotep III’s mother was impregnated by a God, and other stories told of the pharoah’s exploits on the pillars, obelisks and walls of the temples.

Make sure you return to Luxor temple at night to watch the Sound and Light Show.

King Tutankhamun

introduction
On the final leg of a 10-year-long world tour, �Tutankhamen and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs� exhibition opens on 18 January, 2012 at the Tampozan Special Gallery in the Japanese city of Osaka.
The event is a message to the Japanese people in particular and the whole world at large that Egypt is safe and welcomes visitors from around the world. The event is also aimed at driving home a message to the effect that Egypt, with its great ancient civilization, has never been advocating destruction or violence.
The move comes within the framework of efforts exerted by the Egyptian government to attract more tourists at a time when intensive efforts are also being exerted to restore stability and security.
The exhibition includes 122 artifacts carefully selected from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, 50 of them from the collection of King Tutankhamen.
Since its start in 2002, the exhibition has traveled to Brazil, Switzerland, Germany, France, the United States and Australia.
 

 
The Discovery
During the New Kingdom, special police protected the tombs in the Valley of the Kings.
These men were relatively effective until the late New Kingdom, when, despite their best efforts, the royal tombs were at first randomly and then systematically violated.
Thieves invaded Tutankhamun's tomb fairly soon after his burial. The thieves were caught in the act and official inspectors reorganized the contents and resealed the tomb. Several generations later, workmen constructing the nearby tomb of another pharaoh built their huts over the young king's place of burial, thus obscuring it. Later flooding in the area erased any evidence of its existence. Tutankhamun's tomb would remain hidden for more than three thousand years.
On November 4, 1922, workmen uncovered the top step of a staircase which archaeologist Howard Carter followed to discover eleven stairs and sealed door. Stamped on the surface of the doorway was the Jackal-and-Nine-Captives seal of the official guards, but a royal name was not visible. The upper left-hand corner of the door had been re-plastered and resealed, which told Carter that robbers had broken into the tomb in antiquity, but that something important still remained inside. After making a small hole, Carter peered inside and saw a corridor filled with rubble. He curbed his impatience, had his men refill the stairway, and sent the momentous telegram to Lord Carnarvon in England:
He was not to realize the extent of his discovery until November 26th, when he held a small candle up to a breach in the doorway separating him from the first of the four rooms, checking for noxious gases and then a few seconds later enlarging the opening and peering inside. Carter recorded his first impression in his popular book, The Tomb of Tutankhamen:
"At first I could see nothing, the hot air escaping from the chamber causing the candle flame to flicker, but presently, as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues and gold - everywhere the glint of gold...I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, "Can you see anything?" it was all I could do to get out the words, "Yes, wonderful things."
Howard Carter and an Egyptian workman examine the doors of the fourth gilded shrine enclosing the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun.
Two life-sized figures of the king, one in a nemes head cloth and the other in the khat headdress, were found flanking the entrance to the Burial Chamber.
How the course began
The Curse of King Tutankhamun
The Curse of King Tutankhamun is directly connected with the death of Lord Carnarvon on May 6, 1923. As news of Lord Carnarvon's death was reported around the world, stories of the curse began to surface almost immediately. Carnarvon, the financial supporter of the expedition led by Howard Carter, died less than one year after the tomb of King Tut had been opened. Legend states that a writer had made a prediction of danger to those who entered the tomb two weeks prior to the tragic incident. Then after Carnarvon's death, it was reported that tomb had contained an ancient Egyptian curse: "They who enter this sacred tomb shall swift be visited by the wings of death." Despite the fact that no such hieroglyphic text existed, the public seemed fascinated by such misinformation. Apparently they preferred to accept what they read about the curse in the newspapers and journals, rather than to listen to the experts and scholars.
While the discovery of the tomb and the very public death of Lord Carnarvon were very interesting stories, at this point in time it was not easy for the media to receive direct information regarding what the excavators were doing in the tomb. With policies in place that restricted entrance of the tomb to only a select few, journalists had limited resources for information and perhaps for this reason several stories were invented.
The limited access to the tomb allowed Carter and his staff to work without constant interruption. In addition, Lord Carnarvon and the Times of London had signed a contract, to help fund the lengthy clearing of the tomb. This contract allowed only the Times of London direct access to all of the data and information found before it was released to other sources. This apparently, motivated some reporters to take matters into their own hands and they conspired with others to make news by concocting a fictional curse, based on the tragedy of Lord Carnarvon's death.
In the beginning only the one death was attributed to the curse, but soon the fatality of any one even remotely connected with the tomb was ascribed to the same cause. In fact, only six individuals directly associated with opening of the tomb had died after ten years. Perhaps most important is that the discoverer of the tomb, Howard Carter lived more than seventeen years after discovering the tomb and then died at the age of sixty four.
All of this interest in a concocted curse obscures the fact that the ancient Egyptians did in fact engage in the use of various types of curses and threats. Some even were directed specifically against trespassers who attempted to violate the tomb. But the tomb of Tutankhamun did not possess such protection.
This material is adapted from text written by Dr. David P. Silverman and Dr. Zahi Hasass' book "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs".
Who was King Tut
King Tut was born during the Amarna Age, a time when the pharaoh Akheneaten, his probable father, had introduced quasi-monotheistic beliefs into ancient Egypt, replacing the traditional religion. Akhenaten had also moved the administrative center (Memphis in the north) and religious capital (Thebes in the south) to Akhetaten (modern Tel el Amarna) in Middle Egypt, a site not previously associated with any other god.
It is here that this young prince, named Tutankhaten - to honor the Aten, the deity of his new religion - was born and spent his early childhood. The prince, however, ultimately did not maintain the religious movement his father introduced. He ascended the throne (around 1333 BCE), while still a child. Guided by two officials of the court, the general Horemhab and the god's father Aye (perhaps a relative of the young king); Tutankhamun restored the traditional gods and re-established Thebes as the religious capital and Memphis as the administrative center. He also changed his name to Tutankhamun in order to direct attention to the restoration of the pantheon and the god Amun at its head. King Tut reigned for only about nine years.
King Tut's Mummy
New Research and Findings of Tut's mummy reveal much about how the boy king lived and died.
After a brief nine-year reign, the boy king passed away unexpectedly before reaching his twentieth birthday. The cause of Tutankhamun's death remains uncertain. On November 11, 1925, Carter and his staff began the first examination of the mummy. A black resin covered the body inside and adhered the king's head to his gorgeous, gold funerary mask. Over a span of four days, the team delicately unraveled the bandages and recorded each of the artifacts hidden within the wrappings.
In October of 1926, Carter re-wrapped the body and laid it, in its tray of sand, returning it to its outermost coffin and its stone sarcophagus. A plate glass lid was placed on top to protect the coffin. The mummy was undisturbed in its original tomb for another 40 years, until 1968 when x-rays were performed.
The 1968 x-rays seemed to show damage to the base of the skull, perhaps due to a blow to the head, however, CT scans in 2005 have disproved that theory. Recent examinations also revealed a compound fracture of the left thigh. If Tutankhamun sustained such an injury, it is also possible that he could have died quickly of infection, but the soft tissue is too damaged to provide conclusive proof.

As evidenced in this photo, Tut's mummy is remarkably well preserved. This 3 dimensional bust of Tutankhamun, based on the findings of the 2005 CT scan of Tutankhamun's mummy, demonstrate what the boy king may have actually looked like over 3,000 years ago.
Death and Burial
Tut's Mummification
Royalty and wealthy private citizens alike mummified the dead, a process that mirrored the myth of the Underworld god Osiris, whose body had been dismembered, reassembled and reanimated. Since the ba, or spiritual essence of the person needed to return to the mummy to ensure its continued life, the body had to be preserved through an elaborate embalming process, which took at least 70 days.
Preparing the Body
Despite his early and unexpected death, Tutankhamun received traditional mummification. Embalmers laid the body in a bed of natron, a combination of salt and baking soda that naturally occurs in Egypt, to dry out the flesh. This material was also stuffed into the body cavity. Resins were then applied to soften the leathery skin. The brain was removed through the nostrils with a long metal hook. The heart was left in place or removed, dried out, and put back into the chest cavity.
Preserving the internal organs
Embalmers removed the lungs, liver, stomach, and intestines through an incision in the left side of the body. Each was carefully dried in salts, anointed with oils, and then wrapped. Next these bundles were placed in canopic jars and stored in the burial chamber. Tutankhamun's organs, however, received elaborate treatment. Each were put into a solid gold miniature coffin which in turn was placed in a stone canopic chest divided into four compartments, and each section had its own lid bearing the image of the king. Protective spells appear on the interior of caffeinate and on the exterior of the outer chests.
Wrapping the mummy
Tutankhamun's limbs were wrapped in the finest linen bandages. Priests recited special spells during the wrapping process and placed more than a hundred beautiful amulets and pieces of jewelry between the layers of cloth. Golden cylinders covered the king? fingers and toes and a magnificent golden funerary mask protected his face.
Egyptian Religion
To maintain maat, order in the universe, the living constantly had to pacify the many deities who existed in the cosmos. This system of beliefs persisted for thousands of years until Akhenaten (probably Tutankhamun's father) introduced the concept of the one god Aten and did away with the pantheon of gods.
Religious revolution
At the beginning of the 18th Dynasty, the god Amun took center stage and became the chief god of the state. Other prominent gods at this time were the solar deity Re, creator god Ptah, the great god of the Underworld, Osiris, and many more. Monumental temples to these gods were built across the land.
When Amenhotep IV (later called Akhenaten) came to the throne, he was steeped in these orthodox beliefs. But he soon brought a new religion to prominence that would have repercussions for Tutankhamun, his son. By the third year of his reign, Amenhotep IV had begun a series of temples dedicated to the solar cult at Karnak. This cult emphasized the visible image of the sun, called Aten, which was then as a sun disk whose rays ended in human hands that extended ankh ("life") symbols to the king and his queen. In the fifth year of his reign, Amenhotep IV honored his new god by changing his own name to Akhenaten ("The One Who is Effective for the Aten"). He also moved the capital from Thebes to a new city on virgin soil, not sacred to any other gods. Called Akhetaten ("Horizon of the Sun Disk"), we now know this city as Amarna.
To implement this new religion, agents of the king traveled throughout Egypt, destroying the names and images of other deities. Even the plural word "gods" was obliterated. Aten could now be worshiped only through representations of the royal family, who were portrayed in a rounded exaggerated style quite different from traditional Egyptian art.
This unusual practice would not remain in public favor long, once Tutankhamun came to power.
Restoring harmony to the universe
Only a few years into his reign, Tutankhaten ("Living Image of the Aten") changed his name to Tutankhamun ("Living Image of Amun"). Likewise, his queen Ankhsenpaaten became Ankhsenamun.
During his rule of almost ten years, the young king worked hard to restore the worship of Amun and the other gods who had been neglected under Akhenaten. He rebuilt their temples, replenished their treasuries, and left Amarna to return to Memphis and Thebes.

Dahshur, Egypt

Dahshur, Egypt

Pyramid Complex of Senwosret III, Dahshur

Sponsored by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Bioanthropology Foundation, and The American Research Center in Egypt (US-AID)
mastaba at Dahshur
Partially reconstructed mastaba of the high official Sobekemhat, with the pyramid of pharaoh Senwosret III behind it. The Dynasty 4 pyramid of Snefru is to the right in the background.
Senwosret III's pyramid complex was first excavated between 1894 and 1895 by the French Egyptologist Jacques de Morgan. The Metropolitan Museum of Art began excavating the site in 1990 and has returned annually since 1992.
Background
The pyramid complex of the Middle Kingdom pharaoh Senwosret III (ca. 1878–1840 B.C.) is located at Dahshur, a site approximately twenty miles south of modern Cairo. At the center of the complex is the royal pyramid, which now appears to be a mass of mudbrick, but was originally a 63-meter-high structure cased with fine limestone. The king's burial chambers, constructed of limestone and granite, lie beneath the pyramid and contain a beautifully carved red granite sarcophagus. Despite all these preparations, the king was likely buried at Abydos in another tomb he constructed.
A chapel and a modest temple were built respectively against north and east sides of the pyramid; at a later point in the king's reign, a large, innovative temple was constructed to the south of the original complex. To the north and south of the king's pyramid were smaller pyramids with attached chapels dedicated to the royal women of Senwosret III's court. The entire complex was surrounded by a series of mudbrick and limestone walls articulated with niches and recesses.
To the north of the royal complex was a large cemetery for officials who served Senwosret III and his successors. The burial places of these individuals were marked by mastabas, rectangular structures with gently sloping sides and flat roofs. Fragments of inscriptions listing the titles and the names of the owners have been recovered, as well as biographical and historical information.
Excavations
Although most of Senwosret III's aboveground monuments were dismantled and destroyed by ancient stone robbers, several thousand fragments of wall decoration have been recovered from the remains of the temples and chapels. The limestone reliefs are not only beautiful works of art, but provide important information about religious beliefs during the later Dynasty 12. Both the architecture and the decoration of the complex show that this was a period in which beliefs related to the king and his afterlife were evolving.
Bracelets of Queen Weret
Reconstructed bracelets of Queen Weret, now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
Important finds from the royal complex also include a small collection of exquisitely rendered jewelry that belonged to Queen Weret. These pieces are now displayed in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
Relief depiction of Sobekemhat
Relief depiction of the high official Sobekemhat, from the east side of his mastaba.
The excavation of the nonroyal mastabas to the north of the complex has resulted in the identification of important individuals. These tomb owners embellished their monuments with lists of their official titles and occasionally biographies that describe historical events.
Many of the complex's structures appear to have survived into the New Kingdom, as numerous graffiti left by visitors have been found. After the New Kingdom, the area was used extensively as a burial place for lower-ranking individuals.
Relief depiction from the causeway of Senwosret III
Relief depiction from the causeway of Senwosret III, showing fish and animals on an island. The relief probably belonged to scenes showing the seasons of the Egyptian year.

An Artisan's Tomb in New Kingdom Egypt

Almost thirty-three centuries ago, a young man named Khonsu became a "servant in the Place of Truth"—a designation that identified members of the crew of artisans who carved and decorated the royal tombs of the New Kingdom. These artisans included quarrymen, scribes (23.3.4), draftsmen (14.108), sculptors, painters, and carpenters. The entire crew, which usually numbered no more than sixty, lived with their families in a walled community known to its residents simply as the Village, a ruin now known as Deir el-Medina. Situated in a small desert valley on the west bank of the Nile, at the edge of the Theban cliffs, the Village was within easy reach of the two principal royal cemeteries: the Great Place, now called the Valley of the Kings; and the Place of Beauty, or the Valley of the Queens.

Khonsu was the fourth son in a large family, and like most members of the royal work crew, he and at least one of his brothers had followed in the footsteps of their father, Sennedjem (86.1.10), who was also a servant in the Place of Truth. Sennedjem was an active member of the crew in the time of Menmaatre Seti, the son of a former general named Ramesses who had ascended the throne of Egypt and founded a new dynasty. 

Sennedjem and his sons were fortunate to live during a period of great prosperity for the Village. At the height of Sennedjem's career, in the first sixteen years of the new dynasty, two royal tombs were required. The amount of time it took the crew to complete a royal tomb depended on the length of a king's reign, and work was sometimes cut short by the pharaoh's death. Because of the length of time required for mummification, the team would have up to three months to finish its work, and then the process would begin all over again for the new pharaoh. 

The same talents that created a spectacular sepulchre for the ruling king were also put to use in the more modest burial places of the workers themselves. Located in a terraced cemetery on the hillside adjacent to the Village, their funerary monuments included small, vaulted, above-ground offering chapels that were topped by miniature, steep-sided pyramids. In or near the chapels, shafts cut deep into the bedrock led to groupings of corridors and vaulted rooms that were often used by many generations of the same family. One of the finest of these tombs belonged to Sennedjem and his descendants. Built at the southern end of the cemetery, the family crypt was just a stone's throw away from its owner's house. The upper level of the complex had offering chapels for both Sennedjem and Khonsu, and the decorated burial chamber contained the mummies of Sennedjem and his wife, Iineferti; Khonsu and his wife, Tameket; Khonsu's younger brother Ramesses; and four other named members of the family, as well as eleven unidentified mummies. 

In preparation for his journey to the afterworld, Khonsu commissioned a pair of nesting anthropoid coffins (86.1.1,.2) made of wood. The lid of each depicts Khonsu in the form of a mummy, with arms crossed over his chest and hands clutching the tyet amulet and djed pillar, the same magical symbols that were used some 200 years earlier onHatnofer's chair (36.3.152) to ensure the owner's well-being. The coffins are covered with magical texts and vignettes featuring deities as well as Khonsu and Tameket. A mask of painted wood (86.1.4) and cartonnage completed the ensemble. Khonsu had also obtained a painted canopic box to hold his internal organs and several shawabtis (86.1.14,.18,.21; 67.80; 86.1.128), little figurines that were intended to substitute for the deceased owner if he were called upon to perform any kind of manual labor in the next life (30.4.2). 

When he finally began his own journey to the afterworld, Khonsu was about sixty-five years of age and had seen two generations of his descendants enter the work crew. He was placed in the family tomb along with his parents, and the funeral rites were probably performed by his sons Nakhemmut and Nakhtmin, who spoke the words of the offering texts and repeated the names of those who had passed on to the next world, thus giving them renewed life. After being used by many generations of Khonsu's descendants, the family crypt was sealed at last and remained undisturbed until February 1, 1886, when it was uncovered by agents of the Egyptian Antiquities Service.
