CPR Vital to Surviving Sudden Cardiac Arrest, Get Your CPR Certification at American Healthcare Institute

When Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Strikes, Being Prepared is Critical. Everyone needs to be familiar with the latest American Heart Association latest CPR guidelines and be prepared for the situation

Woodbridge, NJ, December 29, 2011 - Every year 300,000 people in the United States alone experience out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, the experience will claim the lives of 92% of these victims. A victim's best chance is usually revival through bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Bystander CPR within the first 4 minutes can double or even triple a victims chances of survival, but less than one third of victims will receive the life saving procedure. That's why companies like the American Healthcare Institute offer Premium Online CPR certification programs both on and off the web.

 In a critical situation where someone's life hangs in the balance, the best chance for survival can be had by a clear understanding of the best CPR practices to date. CPR is going to help a victim's odds in all cases, but the most up to date information possible boosts the odds of survival still further.

That's why it's important to choose a training program like the Premium CPR Online Certification Program by the American Healthcare Institute.

Their most up to date training program is currently their Premium Online CPR Certification Program, which was released October 24, 2011. Their CPR certification program, like all their lifesaving programs, are developed by a team of U.S. Board certified and licensed physicians who work to make sure every program imparts the skills users need to save lives. The number of victims of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest could be reduced by over 50% if all victims were attended to by a properly trained bystander within the first 4 minutes.

AAA comments on success of Niche REITs

Specialty real estate investment trusts (REITs) are performing extremely well, according to alternative investment advocacy group, Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

Boston, MA, December 23, 2011 - Specialty real estate investment trusts (REITs) are performing extremely well, according to alternative investment advocacy group, Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).


Although REITs have outperformed other markets generally over the past year or so, the more niche the REIT, the better they have performed, according to AAA, which supports the alternative investment market in general.

AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, is basing his assertion on a recent report in the New York Times, which showed that the REITs that invested in non-standard and niche property, such as warehouses, cold storage and energy infrastructure, outperformed the rest of the real estate investment market this year.

“What we’ve seen is these specialty or non-core property types have actually done pretty well this year,” explained Steve Shigekawa, of the Neuberger Berman Real Estate fund, when speaking to the newspaper. His firm invests funds in data centres and storage for timber, as well as self-storage units.

Mr Johnson said that the performance of the niche REITs reflected a general trend moving toward the more alternative of alternative investments. He explained, ”The Dow Jones general REITS index shows that this asset class has delivered returns of 3.32 in 2011. This compares with returns of 7.94 for the Dow Jones Specialty REITs index.”

Data storage centres are particularly lucrative for investors at the moment, as the demand for data centre space is increasing all the time, particularly with the emergence of cloud computing.

Mr Johnson added, “Alternative investments do not correlate closely with general economic trends, which means that they are perfect for people who want to diversify their portfolios against risk.

“This has, of course, become increasingly the case in light of the economic crisis, as investors are all too aware that they could potentially lose thousands over night if the market should crash off the back of another US or Eurozone crisis,” added Johnson.

Jack O'Ryan has been in the marketing business for over twenty years then went full time with online marketing in 2003.

Jack O’Ryan feels that he has found a excellent money making vehicle to go along with his teaching methods to help anybody make money online and not fall into the 97% failure category.

Jack says, My main focus is to help people make money online with their internet home based business and surprise them by telling them that they DO NOT need to continue to buy more “stuff”, they just need to follow my training.

Jack also says, People are tired of the same old salesman, guru routine. Where they are always asked to “pony up” for more cash that most people just don’t have. I have streamlined the marketing method so that anybody can do it. http://www.jackoryan.com talks about the truth about online marketing information

What is the connection between the holiday season and laser treatments?

While laser hair removal is commonly associated with summer fun, it may surprise you that the easiest and most effective time to have laser hair removal treatments is actually during the holidays and throughout the wintertime!

Manhasset, NY, December 23, 2011 - New York Laser Aesthetics Group, conveniently located in Manhasset, NY has performed a study that shows there is a steep increase in demand for laser treatments specifically between the busy holiday season and President’s week. The cold winter months are the perfect time for laser hair removal clients to begin a laser hair removal treatment package, so that you can look and feel your best on your winter and early spring vacations. Imagine sunbathing, swimming, and playing on the beach, or relaxing on a cruise without the hassle and irritation of shaving everyday or having to painfully wax or pluck before and during your getaway. Show off your cruisewear and beachwear with confidence! Give yourself one less thing to worry about while you relax and soak up the rays! Even a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner or weekend getaway would be a great opportunity to surprise someone with your new smooth and clean look.


New York Laser Aesthetics Group clients commonly request many different areas of laser hair removal, ranging from parts of the face such as the upper lip, chin, and sideburns; as well as the neck, underarms, chest, stomach, back, legs, and bikini areas. Getting a Brazilian laser treatment package is a great choice before showing off that new swimsuit! Laser hair removal isn’t only for women—in fact, men benefit greatly from the extra time spent relaxing on vacation instead of the time and aggravation of a having to shave their face every day. They can also wear a bathing suit with confidence without having to trim or shave their chest hair throughout the trip.

Laser hair removal treatments are meant to be permanent, and the results will linger long after you return from your trip. Even if a tropical getaway isn’t in the cards for you this year, having laser treatments done in the wintertime is a wise move that will prep you for a new, clean and groomed look by the time the summer rolls around. We strive to provide our clients with excellent service at competitive prices. Our affordable laser treatments are a great investment.

New York Laser Aesthetics Group’s Promise to Our Clients

We are very proud to offer a lifetime guarantee-- after the initial six-treatment package, each and every treatment to maintain your look afterwards is fifty percent off for the rest of your life. You are welcome to keep returning for additional treatments until the look you ultimately want is obtained.

Did we mention that laser hair removal is actually the most effective during the winter months? This is due to the fact that when your skin tone is lighter in color, the laser is able to “see” your hair follicles more easily and thus give you the best results possible. If you are able to carve out some time for laser hair removal treatments during the winter months, you will be thanking yourself come the spring and summer.

On top of the benefits of having laser hair removal done in the wintertime, the best part is that we offer holiday and winter specials. To find out about our current specials, please call New York Laser Aesthetics today at (516) 617-7777, visit us at www.nylaser1.com or check us out on Facebook to take advantage of our great offers. We hope to see you here soon!

FRA: Now's the time to invest in timber

FRA has signalled its support for a Seeking Alpha claiming that now is a great time to invest in timber.

Bainbridge Island, WA, December 22, 2011 - A recent report from Seeking Alpha claiming that now is a great time to invest in timber, has attracted support from Forestry Research Associates (FRA), an analysis and research consultancy specialising in forestry investment and sustainability.


Although, on the surface, the fact that timber prices have fallen slightly lately could seem like a negative trend for forest investments, FRA supports claims from analyst Kevin McElroy, that this is a great time to buy into the industry. The thinking is that most varieties of timber grown in the North America region are cheaper than they were this time last year. However, the housing market is expected to bottom out very soon and, as a result, prices could soar again before too long.

Wood prices are generally on a growing trend, claims FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins who explained, “Between 1987 and 2007, timber’s average return on investment was an impressive 15.7 per cent, far exceeding gains made by those who invested in stocks and shares."

Mr Collins added, “Forestry is becoming a go-to asset class among savvy investors who are looking to protect their portfolios against risk by opting for an investment that is correlated highly with inflation, but has little correlation with equity markets.”

With widespread predictions that the US housing market will bottom out in 2012, the chance that timber prices could soar off the back of growth within the construction industry, for example, could be too much for investors to resist, claims FRA.

FRA supports investment into sustainable forestry plantations and projects in developing countries, such as the projects run by Greenwood Management. It sees these project as a great way to diversify an investment portfolio while helping to prevent deforestation of some of the world’s most vulnerable and valuable forests. “The plantations of non-native tress that firms like Greenwood crate can offer alternative sources of timber and charcoal to cutting down valuable native forests,” concluded Collins.

India's new elite will head towards alternatives, claims AAA

Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) agrees that India’s new high net worth population will help the alternative investment industry to experience a further boom.

Boston, MA, December 22, 2011 - Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) agrees that India’s new high net worth population will help the alternative investment industry to experience a further boom.

Between now and 2016, the wealth of India’s richest is expected to treble and many of these wealthy individuals are eager to invest in alternative asset classes, claims AAA.

The alternative investment advocacy group backs reports from Karvy Private Wealth, which claim that private equity funds and other alternative funds will reap the benefit of India’s new-found wealth.

AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, stated, “There is no doubt that India’s elite will start to look for the very best, risk-averse ways to invest their cash.

“Along with those in the West, Indian investors are looking towards alternatives to provide a means of diversifying their portfolios to protect themselves against further unpredictable market crashes,” added Mr Johnson.

Karvy’s study said that Indian investors are actually even more averse to risk than their counterparts in more developed economies and will, therefore, focus on alternatives to provide them with returns that are not correlated with the stock markets.

However, Karvy said that wealthy Indians are not currently investing in alternative asset classes as much as they are expected to in the coming years, representing major growth opportunities for alternative fund providers.

AAA was keen to point out that alternatives and ethical investment is growing in popularity all over the world, as wealthy investors try to spread the risk tied up in their portfolios to protect against the impact of the economic crisis.

AAA promotes impact investing and other varieties of ethical investment, such as sustainable forestry investment through organisations like Greenwood Management in Brazil. These kinds of more boutique alternative investment providers should also benefit from the rush to invest among India’s new set of rich and savvy business people.

Congressman Mike Coffman’s Vote to Block Bipartisan Payroll Tax Cut is Unacceptable and Dangerous to Economy

Joe Miklosi Says End the Partisan Extremism and Pass the Payroll Tax Break Extension

Greenwood Village, CO, December 20, 2011 - Colorado incumbent Congressman Mike Coffman today voted to block a payroll tax cut extension compromise that overwhelmingly passed the Senate with near unanimous support from Republican and Democrats.


"Congress can’t even agree on a tax cut they all agree with,” said Joe Miklosi, candidate for Colorado's 6th Congressional District. “Senate Republicans and Democrats managed to negotiate a reasonable compromise and it’s unacceptable that House Republicans continue the relentless partisan bickering. The consequences of a failure to act will have major economic repercussions.”

The bipartisan payroll tax break extension was negotiated by Republican leaders and passed the Senate on Saturday by a overwhelming 89-10 vote. The Senate's version would renew a 2 percentage point cut in the Social Security payroll tax, provide jobless benefits averaging about $300 a week for the long-term unemployed, and stop a 27 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors.

Without a bill to extend the cuts, payroll taxes will go up for 160 million workers on January 1st. Nearly 2 million people could lose unemployment benefits as well.

Incumbent Congressman Mike Coffman has voted along party lines over 95% of the time and is a founding member of the Tea Party Caucus. Many attribute the group to be the leading driver of the partisan bickering in Congress today.

"This is just another example of why we need real leadership in Washington, leadership that’s focused on delivering practical outcomes for families in Colorado,” continued Miklosi. “It’s time to stop waiting to the last minute. It’s time to get the job done once and for all.”

State Representative Miklosi is a proven leader who has worked across the political aisle to pass legislation designed to promote job growth and getting our economy back on track. He worked to balance the Colorado budget every year he has been in office. He worked on the bipartisan Audit Committee, which conducted 52 audits in 2010 and saved Colorado taxpayers 47 million dollars. He sponsored legislation that passed the General Assembly unanimously to eliminate conflicting government regulations and help local businesses. As a member of the state legislature, Representative Miklosi has cut his own salary.  Last year, Mr. Miklosi sponsored two job fairs to help people find a job.

"Our campaign is focused like a laser on getting our economy on the fast-track to recovery," says Miklosi. "We believe mainstream voters will reject my opponent’s 'do-nothing' approach and will join us in working to get this county back on its economic feet."
  
Joe Miklosi brings a well-rounded business and civic background to the race. In addition to three years of legislative experience working across party lines to get things done in the Colorado House of Representatives, his career includes six years of business development experience, where he helped start an Internet software company, nearly four years working at Project C.U.R.E. in Centennial, Colorado, which provides life-saving medical supplies to hospitals in 120 developing nations, and 12 years of public policy experience.

FRA reacts to article Latin American forestry

A recent report from the Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch blog is being championed by Forestry Research Associates (FRA) as a beneficial piece for the forestry investment industry.

Bainbridge Island, WA, December20, 2011 - A recent report from the Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch blog is being championed by Forestry Research Associates (FRA) as a beneficial piece for the forestry investment industry.

FRA is a research and analysis consultancy specializing in sustainable forestry and forestry investment topics. It is not a surprise, then, that its analysts welcomed the article explaining how investing in Latin American forests can be profitable during these uncertain economic times.

The article highlights the fact that forestry in the region is an up and coming asset class and that investors are learning that there are opportunities to analyse the market and invest with schemes that specialise in certain products. FRA says that many REITs offering forestry as an option outside of Latin America can focus on land coverage, rather than what the forestry projects actually produce. However, in Latin America, investors can buy up land managed by producers who focus on charcoal production, or eucalyptus crops, for example. Greenwood Management offers investors the chance to directly invest in their plantation projects in Brazil that largely focus on producing charcoal for use in the booming Brazilian steel industry and this is an area that is attracting the attention of in vestors from outside the region.

FRA supports these kinds of projects as, as well as being profitable for investors, they offer alternative sources of timber and charcoal to using native species, thus helping to reduce deforestation.

Latin American forestry is also benefiting hugely from the growth in demand from Asia and the resulting soaring timber prices. FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins added, “Timber values have increased steadily over the past few years and over the past decade, forestry investments have outperformed returns form stock markets.” He also asserted that the volatility of the equity markets are driving more and more Western investors to the relative safe havens of alternative investments.
