Set Sail in Style with All-Inclusive Luxury Cruising

Vietnam’s first five-star all-inclusive cruise in Nha Trang Bay - Fit for an Emperor

Hanoi, Vietnam, September 28, 2014 - The project was started in September 2014 and the first sailing is expected to be in the summer of 2015. The participants include Luxury Travel Ltd with the high-end cruise company, Huong Hai Ha Long Ltd.

One of the 29 most beautiful bays in the world, with miles of long, beautiful white-sand beaches and warm water, year-round green tropical islands and parks, rivers, typical fishing villages, special culinary characteristics and gorgeous seafood... Just some of the highlights of Nha Trang that appeal to seasoned holidaymakers.

Indeed Nha Trang Bay is a natural world of sparkling sea, marine life and islands waiting to be explored in style. Emperor Cruises (www.emperorcruises.com) combines oriental style with contemporary luxury. Together these create the perfect recipe for exploration, luxury adventures, enchantment, relaxation and memorable experiences.

The project will create jobs, boost the region’s economy and help to position Nha Trang Bay as one of the world’s luxury tourist destinations with smart international hotels and resorts such as the Intercontinental, Six Senses, Evason and Amanoi, and the Marriott and Hyatt coming soon on Long Beach.

According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Khanh Hoa Province, in 2013, over 3 million domestic and foreign tourists enjoyed overnight stays and sightseeing in the beach resort of Nha Trang and the surrounding attractions in the province, an increase of 29% compared to 2012. Of these, nearly 712,000 were international tourist arrivals.

Nha Trang has been the top attraction for travelers for both domestic and international tourists for many years and is also popular with day visitors because of its delightful beach, considered the most beautiful beach in Vietnam, with deep blue sea and seemingly endless white sand.

Inspiration for Emperor Cruises came from the recreational activities of Emperor Bao Dai when he used to stay in his villas in Nha Trang. He took great pleasure in sailing in Nha Trang Bay to go fishing around the offshore islands. Almost a half century later, Emperor Cruises have recreated his vessel, using inspirational designs, and still fit for an emperor.

The Emperor Cruises fleet has a junk cruise boat (from February 2015 with a capacity of 32 passengers) fit for royalty for day cruises around Nha Trang Bay as well as sunset cocktails and dinner on board.

“Emperor Cruises will also launch overnight luxury cruises in June 2015 in world-famous Nha Trang Bay, accommodating 30 people in 15 en-suite cabins, the first in a total of five cruise ships in this particular project, with each one designed to be a sanctuary where every moment counts for our guests.” said Bui Duc Long, Owner and Director of Emperor Cruises.

“With Emperor Cruises luxury doesn't mean there won't be adventure! You spend your time watching wildlife, scuba diving, snorkeling, boating, kayaking, embracing Mother Nature, and passing the time with your fellow passengers and crew.”

The benefit of an ultra-luxury cruise with Emperor Cruises is that, apart from being small boats with personalized service and outstanding facilities on an all-inclusive basis, often there is no bill to pay at the end whether on a one-day or two-day cruise.

The cruise fleet will accommodate up to 150 guests in five unique boats within five years in the initial stage and then the joint-venture company will develop a fleet of 10 boats carrying up to 300 to 500 passengers cruising the bay on a daily basis.

The project has chartered capital of VND250 billion and the project aims to promote Nha Trang and Vietnam as a luxury cruise destination.

For international tourists, Russia is the country that occupies first place in the number of visitors to Khanh Hoa Province with about 150,000, thanks to chartered direct flights and Vietnam Airlines’ route straight from Moscow to Nha Trang.

With significant numbers of visitors from Australia, America, France, England and Germany, Vietnam expects to receive around 8 million tourists in 2014.

Breakout Gaming Announces New Coin and Gaming Destination

Legendary poker stars unite in Team Breakout with a combined 38 World Series of Poker Bracelets

Los Angeles, CA, September 22, 2014 -- Breakout Gaming (BRO), a budding leader in cryptocurrency technology and game development, announced the launch of the first destination for online gaming and digital currency with the support of an all-star roster of sponsored players.

 “We are going to shake up the gaming community with the world’s first cryptocurrency that has a dedicated ecosystem for its coins,” said core-partner and two-time back-to-back WSOP champion Johnny Chan. “We felt there was an untouched niche for digital currency enthusiast to play digital games such as Poker, Blackjack, and Fantasy Sports, all while investing in the long-term opportunity of Breakout being the next go-to gaming destination.”

Although the cryptocurrency arena has seen a plethora of new coins, the fundamental flaw comes back to the lack of opportunities to actually spend the coins. Breakout Gaming has addressed this issue head-on with an entire ecosystem for coin investors to use their new currency in an exciting way.

An in-house, web based, exchange seamlessly converts Bitcoin (BTC) to Breakout Coin (BRO) with a cold storage solution to protect the currency, avoiding the opportunity for hackers to enter the servers. Breakout Gaming’s site will feature 88 different casino games including the popular Texas Hold ‘Em, Open Face Chinese Poker, in addition to a custom built Fantasy Sports betting platform.

In order to raise awareness and spark mainstream interest for the new Poker destination, Breakout has partnered with some of the World’s greatest players including the legendary Johnny Chan, Huck Seed, Jennifer Harman, Ted Forrest, Todd Brunson, Russia’s Vladimir Shchemelev, and more. Collectively the Breakout Poker Team has won over 38 World Series of Poker Bracelets.

“iGaming and cryptocurrency make a good pairing,” said David Gzesh, leading igaming/cryptocurrency attorney. “Breakout Gaming will be positioned to address both players’ desires for privacy and regulators’ demands to meet both KYC and AML rules. In that regard the BRO Coin launch will present a breakthrough in a layered design.”

“In life, we are always being told to work hard in order to play hard,” said sponsored player and partner Jennifer Harman. “At Breakout Gaming we’re offering the opportunity to have these two sides meet in an intelligently designed investment and gaming platform. It’s like an online gaming playground for the ‘cryptos’ of the world.”

About Breakout Gaming:
Breakout Gaming is headquartered in San Jose, Costa Rica with operations in Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles, California. All of Breakout Gaming channels and its games will be properly licensed and deployed only in “legal-to-play” markets.

Over 500 People Attended the 2nd Annual CIG Insurance Community Safety Saturday™ held on September 6, 2014, in Monterey, California

The community event was part learning, part fun, with lots of safety information for everyone.

Monterey, CA, September 16, 2014 – CIG Insurance’s 2nd Annual CIG Community Safety Saturday™ was held on September 6, 2014 at Capital Insurance Group’s corporate headquarters located at 2300 Garden Road in Monterey. The free, family-friendly event attracted more than 500 attendees. Children, teens and adults alike received a wealth of safety-related information and resources from 30 local, regional, and national organizations.

Capital Insurance Group® (CIG) established these popular family and community events in 2010 and has held Community Safety Saturday events throughout California and Nevada. During the Opening Ceremony, CIG and Marc Klaas were honored with Certificates of Recognition from United States Congressman Sam Farr and California Senator Bill Monning. CIG also received a Proclamation from the City of Monterey and Certificates were presented from the cities of Seaside, Marina and Sand City. Seaside Mayor Ralph Rubio and Del Rey Oaks Mayor Jerry Edelen spoke about the importance of the event to the community and thanked all the participants, especially first responders.

Proudly sponsored by KION News Channel 5 and Telemundo, the event was part learning, part fun, with lots of safety information for everyone. Children delighted in watching the famous dog, “Whiskie the Whale Spotter”™ perform whale tricks as they listened to Peggy Stap of Marine Life Studies talk about safety on and around the water. A big crowd watched the exciting “Jaws of Life” demonstration, which included life-saving tools and equipment used by first responders. Parents and teens met with Kathy and Fred Forgnone, parents who lost their daughter in a car crash, and Officer Jaime Rios from the CHP to learn about the Start Smart Teen Driving Education Program.

Walt Bennett, CIG Vice President of Underwriting & Actuary explains, “We are absolutely delighted at the turnout. The more we can expose our community to all the safety and security resources that are publicly available, the greater the chances are that tragedies can be averted – or at least we can ease someone’s suffering when something does occur. At CIG, we are committed to improving the quality of life in those communities where we do business.”

More children will ride safely thanks to the child car-seat inspections.

The child car-seat safety inspection station was operated by the California Highway Patrol Office–Merced County. Expert technicians checked 50 vehicles for proper installation and found an 83% rate of misuse. They gave parents and caregivers critical information about installing car seats correctly for their particular child and vehicle. California Law restricts where and how a child may occupy a vehicle, based on the child’s age and height. They also educated parents on the dangers of leaving children in a hot car.

Over 200 children were finger printed at the KlaasKids Foundation Print-A-Thon.

The KlaasKids Foundation Print-A-Thon was offered at the event, providing free child identification tools including digital fingerprinting, photo IDs, take-home DNA kits, and more. Marc Klaas reports, “We have facilitated Print-A-Thon events throughout the United States for almost 20 years with a variety of community-minded sponsors, and this event is a huge success – we served over 200 children!”

Special crowd-pleasing presentations included:
• Jaws of Life Demonstration provided by the Monterey Fire Department who also brought their 55’ ladder fire engine for kids to climb.

• Whiskie the Whale Spotter™, the famous rescue dog from Marine Life Studies, performed her whale tricks and showed attendees how she spots whales from Marine Life Studies’ research boat in the Monterey Bay National Sanctuary. They also shared information about protecting whales, dolphins and other marine wildlife and observing them safely in the wild.

Additionally, CIG Community Safety Saturday featured the following attractions:

Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group Acquires Legendary Fear Farm Attraction In Partnership

Another Scream-Filled Year of Fear Begins on Sept. 19, with Opening Day at Fear Farm and 13th Floor Haunted House

Phoenix, AZ, September 14, 2014 – Haunted house fanatics should prepare for their worst fears to become a reality this 2014 Halloween season with the new partnership between the iconic Fear Farm and the intense, cutting-edge 13th Floor Haunted House. Previously run by separate companies, now Fear Farm will feature set design and direction from the 13th Floor Haunted Houses’ award winning production team, the Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group.

Fear Farm, located at 2209 N. 99th Avenue, in Phoenix, known as a long standing tradition in Phoenix for generations, with older siblings and neighbors reciting stories being passed down for 15 years about their experience of finally making it out alive, and living to tell their tale. Or remembering those who may have fallen behind to find their way through the haunted corn fields alone. What Fear Farm fans have come to expect year after year will only rise to a whole new level of terror. The Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group has a razor sharp track record with multiple successful haunts throughout the country with the promise to bring your worst fears to life at Fear Farm, as well.

“We are so excited to bring Phoenix two amazing haunted attractions in 2014 with 13th Floor and Fear Farm! Each one is unique and guaranteed to deliver an amazing and entertaining way to celebrate the Fall season,” said Chris Stafford, 13th Floor Entertainment Group.

This year, if Halloween fans plan to enjoy multiple haunted attractions in Phoenix, the Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group is excited to offer two quality venues to get your scream on. Both establishments will continue to feature different themes, actors and special effects, but are excited to bring a higher level of quality in haunt technology to residents in the Valley. To better serve groups of all ages, Fear Farm is an excellent choice, as the format is more open to the public with vendors and areas for less brave souls or younger children to hang out and wait it out for the rest of the group. During the 2014 season, Fear Farm will hold many community events and feature a family night, where a family of four can enjoy Fear Farm for a reduced price. As for the 13th Floor Haunted House, it’s not meant for scaredy cats as the content and characters of the haunt are far more intense, in-your face and take place in small, dark quarters, and therefore is not recommended for young children.

Opening Night:
Start the scare season off with us on Friday, Sept. 19, for Charity Night at either horrifying attraction, Fear Farm or the 13th Floor Haunted House!

About Fear Farm:
Fear Farm is Phoenix’s largest Halloween event. Now under the production of the Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group, Fear Farm will be the ride of your life!

Dusk. The grey time, in between the reality of day and the unknown of night. Your mind fills in what your eye cannot see.

In a cornfield, you can look above and see all that surrounds you, but if you look below, you cannot even tell what might be a few feet in front of you. The stalks surround you.

You hear a noise, and forget for a moment that it might just be the wind, You run like the wind, the leaves of the cornstalks brush against the side of your face. You are blind as to what is ahead, and even blinder to what is behind you.

You know it is your mind playing tricks on you, that the sound you hear is the wind, or the echoes of your own footsteps, or just some small animal. Even so, it is that tiniest of possibilities that there is a something chasing you, a something that might mean you harm, that drives you now. That remote chance outweighs any worry that you are overreacting. As long as you make it out of the cornfield, you will be all right. It's the cornfield that drives your mind into terror. See if your mind can reason with Terror in the Corn! Fear Farm is located at 2209 N. 99th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85037. http://www.fearfarm.com/

About the 13th Floor Haunted House:
The world famous 13th Floor Haunted House is also the best haunted house in Phoenix! Created by nationally recognized and award winning haunted house designers the 13th Floor, will transport you to new levels of horror. Prepare to be terrified by two epic haunted attraction walkthroughs for one all-inclusive price. The Phoenix haunt, run by more than 100 creepy, costumed actors, offers many different and distinct areas of terror: the Haunted Mansion, an Abandoned Asylum, a Pirate Ship, a Voodoo Swamp and the apocalyptic cityscape of Zombieland.

The 13th Floor is an intense, graphic, theatrical show that will take you on a gut-wrenching ride of visceral thrills and psychological horror. The haunt encompasses over 60,000 square feet of shocking twists and horrifying turns.

MAX Agency Press Release – September 13, 2014

Max Agency has recently welcomed new Toronto Model and Actor including future Toronto high fashion and runway model Helen Rudnicki.

Toronto, ON, September 13, 2014 - Max Agency has recently welcomed new Toronto Model and Actor including future Toronto high fashion and runway model Helen Rudnicki. I asked Helen why she decided to pursue modeling and become a part of MAX Agency.

“I thought it would be something fun to do. I was always told I should be a model, I guess that’s what all tall girls are told, so when I was approached I thought it would be something fun to try. It’s a great opportunity. It’s not something everyone can do or is able to do so I thought I should see what it’s all about. It’s a really interesting industry with a lot of aspects to it. I thought it would be interesting and cool to give it a try.”

Helen is currently studying archeology and anthropology in University and I asked her where her education stands in relation to the industry, what she has done so far and what she is doing right now to better herself as an artist, “I’ve been looking into doing some more acting classes but I haven’t found a place to study, I’m doing lots of yoga and I’m thinking of doing some kickboxing classes with my sister to spend some time with her and stay active.”

I had the pleasure of conducting this interview with Helen in person as opposed to over the phone so I asked what brought her into MAX Agency on this particular day, “I came in to get some measurements done and some body shots so all of my information would be up to date.”

Helen had her Polaroid photo shoot done at MAX Agency and her measurements taken and recorded for future reference to be used as a template to keep the models info up to date. I asked Helen what her other photo shoots have been like, “I’ve only done my portfolio shoot and a few shoots with my friends. I did a nude shoot with one of my friends for fun to see how comfortable I was and what my level of fitness would allow me to do and I’ve had two auditions, one to play Audrey Hepburn and the other was a runway parody using real runway models.”

In addition to going to University Helen also works as a bartender and server, “I love to cook. I’m gluten, rice, egg and dairy free. I love cooking and I love to do yoga.” After graduation Helen sees herself getting in to the raw food industry, “I have a lot of food restrictions and allergies and it made me realize how unhealthy people are in general. I also plan to do more modeling and acting.”

The purpose of Helen’s visit to MAX Agency was particularly for consideration for International submissions to experience the industry from another part of the world so I asked Helen where she would like to go,“In the world I’ve always loved to travel. I would love to go to South America. Anywhere in the world except for places that aren’t safe right now. I’ve always wanted to go to Greece. I would love to do runway, editorial, underwear and Victoria secret kinds of things. I enjoyed The Talent Shop Academy. I’ve always loved to perform and it’s something I would seriously love to stay involved in.”

It sounds like things have been pretty good for Helen with MAX Agency so far, “Things have been good. I’ve been submitted for lots of roles, keeping contact is really good. I’m excited to keep going and see where it goes.”

MAX Agency’s Bookers are currently looking for new Talent! If you are interested we highly recommend visiting maxagency.com and filling out an Application. Wishing MAX continued success in the industry we’re looking forward to future press releases featuring individual talent and projects and finding out more about MAX!

More Honors for the Lady Justice Mystery/Comedy Series

More accolades for Robert Thornhill’s Lady Justice mystery/comedy series as the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs just announced that Volume #16 in the series

Independence, MO, September 09, 2014 - More accolades for Robert Thornhill’s Lady Justice mystery/comedy series as the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs just announced that Volume #16 in the series, Lady Justice and the Organ Traders has earned the Pinnacle Achievement Award for Best New Mystery – Summer 2014.

In addition, Volume #17, Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse, was just awarded a Five Star Review from Reader’s Favorite.

Lee Ashford of Reader’s Favorite writes, “Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse by Robert Thornhill offers another excellent entry to the Lady Justice series of comedic mysteries. Walt, Ox and the whole gang are back to help resolve a growing number of unusual murders, with an apparent connection to a theft from the travelling “King Tut” exhibit on loan from Egypt. When Walt and Ox are both arrested for one of the murders, things get really dicey. Whoever set up the dynamic duo seemed to cover every base, with all the evidence pointing directly to the pair. Their future was in the hands of a single defense attorney, but she was very good at her job; was she good enough? Historical facts are liberally sprinkled throughout this book, as is generally the case with Thornhill’s work. Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse includes a nice bonus: a link to relevant and fascinating information about the boy king. Don’t skip the link.

Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse is Robert Thornhill's latest release, but it seems each successive story is better than the previous stories. I don’t know how he could get any better than he already is, but he must have found a way. This is a great story on several levels. The comedic factor is witty and befitting the various characters involved. The murder mystery is well established, well written, and very deeply cloaked in a well-designed mesh of convoluted clues. The police procedural aspect of the story is reasonable and quite believable. Finally, the historically accurate bits are fascinating and add punch to the story. Thornhill’s Lady Justice series was great to begin with, but each successive episode makes the series even better than before. You won’t want to miss Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse.”

Over 83,000 Kindle readers downloaded Organ Traders and Pharaoh’s Curse propelling both novels into the #1 rank in Amazon’s ‘Cozy Mystery’ and ‘Humor’ categories. amzn.to/1yHlnGE, amzn.to/1jmde5S

Brachytherapy and ASCs - The Ambulatory M&A Advisor

A cancer treatment program that an ASC might consider implementing and adding to the services it offers is that of brachytherapy to treat prostate cancer.

Dallas, Texas, September 09, 2014 - A cancer treatment program that an ASC might consider implementing and adding to the services it offers is that of brachytherapy to treat prostate cancer. There are many ways in which a brachytherapy program can prove beneficial and profitable for an ASC.

In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, the benefits of Low Dose Rate brachytherapy to both the ASC and the patient are explained.

Brachytherapy is performed by a urologist and a radiation oncologist and is an outpatient procedure that can be done in as little as one hour. Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy involves the placing of a “seed” of radioactive material directly inside the tumor.

One of the major benefits of brachytherapy is that it allows the doctor to better control the radiation and decrease impact on healthy tissues.

“Prostate brachytherapy requires a urologist, radiation oncologist, an anesthesiologist for day of procedure as well as a medical dosimetrist or physicist for treatment planning,” said Chief Executive Officer of Prologics Healthcare, LLC, Roger Corle. “Typically ASCs with urology participation or ownership are ideal candidates for starting a prostate brachytherapy program.”

Monterey Program of Executive Health Offers World-class medicine, world-class destination

Dr. Geiler and Team Encourage Patients To Get Healthy

Monterey, CA, September 07, 2014 - A distinctive program designed to give clients an efficient and comprehensive medical evaluation in one of the most coveted resort and golf destinations in the country, The Monterey Program for Executive Health approaches preventative medical care with patients’ time and comfort in mind. The elite physicians at The Monterey Program spend a full day with the patient to complete comprehensive screening, imaging and other advanced diagnostics—all in a sanctuary setting.

“Our goal at the Monterey Program is to help our clients fully understand their medical picture, so they can convert that knowledge into action,” Dr. Geiler says.

In addition to undergoing the most advanced diagnostics in the medical industry, the client is given a comprehensive risk-factor assessment that analyzes family and patient medical histories and current lifestyle habits. Experienced, licensed professionals evaluate the status of patients’ nutrition and fitness levels and work with the physicians to create tailored lifestyle suggestions that integrate seamlessly into their often busy daily routines. The client and doctor will then work together to develop a personalized wellness plan that includes a discussion of risk factors and illness prevention.

When the evaluation is complete, the client receives an extensive, customized medical report with a health profile, results, interpretations and recommendations for follow-up care. This detailed report of the patient’s evaluation is conveniently stored as a digital file on a small flash drive.

As an additional service, the Monterey Program offers corporate packages for businesses to provide to their top executive officers. The program can turn essential preventative care into a productive and relaxing corporate retreat.

Tips For A Healthy You:
1. Find Your Motivation.  Get clear about what you want, and then use that to inspire you throughout your journey.

2. Have a Plan. Before January 1st arrives, outline the changes you want to implement and decide how you'll fit them into your schedule. Keep in mind that it may be best to take steps rather than tackle everything at once.

3. Make Goals. Goals help measure progress.

4. Track What You Eat. Looking closely at what you eat is often an eye-opening experience.

5. Use Reliable Resources. Find a reliable source of information to help you understand nutrition.

6. Eat Breakfast Every Day. Breakfast will give you more energy, lead you to make healthier choices during the day, and keep you feeling full so you eat less later on.

7. Fill Up on Vegetables. Vegetables are filled with nutrients, water, fiber, and very few calories.

8. Exercise. In order to burn calories at a faster rate and build a healthy body, you'll need to incorporate exercise into your life.

9. Take It Slow.  You want to make permanent changes, and these will take time to implement.

10. Be Prepared for Lapses. Every day is a new chance to start over, so return to your healthy lifestyle immediately.
