Seattle Executives Association

The Seattle Executives Association (SEA) is a professional organization that brings together business leaders and executives from various industries in the Seattle area. Because of COVID-19, we lost few members and this is a are oppotunity to join SEA as a new member.

If you are interested in joining, please let me know. I will be happy to invite you to one of our meetings. The Seattle Executives Association (SEA) has a "one member per business category" policy, which means that only one member from each business category is allowed to join the association. This policy ensures that each member has the opportunity to stand out and receive maximum exposure and referrals within their respective business category.

This policy helps to create a diverse and well-rounded membership that can offer a range of services and expertise to other members, while also reducing potential conflicts of interest. It also encourages members to collaborate and refer business to one another, which can help to strengthen the overall business community in the Seattle area.

GSA SCAM

Mar

8

I just receiged a call from someone who said she is calling from GSA. I hanged up and I research the GSA Scam on the Internet. Here is the result...

The GSA scam is a type of fraudulent scheme that involves criminals posing as representatives of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and offering to register companies for government contracts for a fee. The GSA is a government agency that provides services and support to federal agencies and manages federal property.

In the GSA scam, the fraudsters typically target small businesses that are interested in obtaining government contracts. They reach out to these businesses via phone or email, claiming to be GSA representatives or third-party organizations authorized to register businesses for government contracts. They offer to register the businesses for government contracts for a fee, and may even provide false information about the availability of contracts or the likelihood of success.

Once the businesses pay the fee, the fraudsters may provide them with false or incomplete information, or fail to deliver on their promises altogether. In some cases, the fraudsters may also steal the business's identity or financial information, further compounding the damage.

It is important to note that the GSA does not charge businesses a fee to register for government contracts. Any communication claiming to be from the GSA that requests payment for contract registration is likely a scam and should be reported to the authorities.

What is the difference between Connections and Contacts in Linked In?

Mar

8

Looking at my Linked In Page, I wonder what is the difference between Connections and Contacts. So, I dod some research ... On LinkedIn, "connections" and "contacts" have slightly different meanings.

"Connections" on LinkedIn refers to people with whom you have established a professional connection. These are people with whom you have agreed to connect on the platform, and you can see each other's profiles, updates, and posts on the platform. You can also send messages, endorse skills, and write recommendations for your connections on LinkedIn.

"Contacts," on the other hand, refers to the people in your address book that LinkedIn has access to. When you give LinkedIn permission to access your contacts, the platform will match the names and email addresses in your contacts with the names and email addresses of people on LinkedIn. This allows you to easily find and connect with people you know in real life who are also on LinkedIn.

In summary, connections on LinkedIn are people with whom you have established a professional connection on the platform, while contacts are people in your address book that LinkedIn has access to.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 223 Web Hosting Services Explained

Web Hosting Services Explained

A web hosting service’s purpose is to provide a platform for individuals and organizations to publish their websites on the Internet. After creating a website, the server must connect to the internet so it can store web files and serve them when people request them. Web hosting companies own or lease servers with the resources needed to store web files and ensure the website will always be available and accessible.

In addition to servers, web hosting services provide features and resources, some of which may be disk space, internet bandwidth, email accounts, security features, on-site power generation (in case of power outages), 24-hour monitoring, and a variety of other tools.

Depending on the type of website, amount of traffic, and need for technical expertise, there are different types of web hosting available, including shared hosting, virtual private server (VPS) hosting, dedicated hosting, and cloud hosting. The web hosting someone chooses depends on the specific requirements of the website and the user's budget and technical skills.

PSPINC offers hosting, which ranges from shared hosting services to VPS, depending on user level and needs. We also offer three types of hosting services at different price levels.
