Occupy The US Constitution Launched by A3 Society

Occupy Wall Street has another big task to do - fix the U.S. Constitution. The A3 Society, founded on breakthrough discoveries that EXACTLY address this task, has launched the National Opinion Collection System as a key component.

Jacksonville, FL, January 08, 2012 - Occupy Wall Street has another big task to do - fix the U.S. Constitution. The A3 Society, founded on breakthrough discoveries that EXACTLY address this task, has launched the National Opinion Collection System as a key component.

Breakthrough discoveries in human brain structure, language, the psychology of human behavior, evolution, morality and democracy made by A3 Society founder Bruce Nappi are being made available to the Occupy Wall Street effort to provide a new foundation upon which to restructure the U.S. government.

The basic government structures described in the U.S. Constitution emerged from beliefs which explained a world that was very different from what we have now. That world was characterized by: low population, primitive subsistence agricultural, isolated communities, local economies, and a wealth of natural resources. The models for nature, humanity and the conduct of life were based on superstition, and used religious language. The principles: Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, Freedom of Religion, Speech, Assembly, Right to Bear Arms, and Family were also defined by the beliefs of that time.

The Renaissance brought an explosion of challenges to the religious interpretations of all of these principles. This splintered the Christian world and produced an upheaval in governance, pulling control away from the Pope and establishing independent countries and religions across Europe under the control of kings. Philosophy went into turmoil. Academics scrambled to re-explain the world, the behavior of humans, and the meaning of morality.

In the middle of this turmoil, a handful of English colonies in a "new world" abundant with resources, launched a bold experiment. They wanted to free themselves from Authoritarianism, Aristocracy and Religious Doctrine: a government, OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE.

Change, however, drastically accelerated. The industrial revolution brought power tools, automation, chemistry, electronics, high speed WORLD WIDE transportation and instant communications. World population exploded beyond what the planet can sustain. In just ONE CENTURY, these new technologies so drastically boosted humanity's ability to plunder the planet, that we are now facing depletion of most natural resources. YET, these awesome new capabilities are still being directed by a government structure designed to govern a much simpler world.

In two new books, scientist, engineer and philosopher Bruce Nappi presents breakthrough concepts that expand the discoveries of the world's greatest thinkers to include modern knowledge and combine them into an integrated system. The new knowledge leads directly to new governing structures that humanity can implement to address the breakdown in current democracy. The National Opinion Collection System is described along with other needed changes on the A3society.org web site under the government and democracy tabs.

About Bruce Nappi

Explorer, philosopher and Jacksonville, Florida author, Bruce Nappi, has just released two volumes of his new book series LIARS! The books present over 40 major discoveries that answer many of the most critical unanswered questions of the ages, including why we have so much chaos and strife in modern society. Difficult psychological and philosophical discoveries are explained using common language in a readable, exciting novel format. The discoveries affect every part of our culture, making the books valuable reading for everyone who seeks understanding and improvement for today's society.

The books -- LIARS! Vol. 1: Scout to the Pole; and Vol. 2: Escape to Insanity -- are based on Nappi's experience as one of the Eagle Scouts on the 1965 North Pole Expedition. They present an "Atlas Shrugged" philosophical romp through a 3 Stooges run government research world, challenging the most fundamental beliefs of human culture. The coming of age saga is filled with true-life adventures expanded by the insights of 40 years in the rough and tumble world of high tech business intrigue. A life threatening climax in volume 2 finally creates a setting to pull together the wisdom and lay out a broad and comprehensive explanation for many of the problems modern society is searching to understand.

About the A3 Society

The A3 Society was formed to gather a community of like-minded people to implement the 40+ scientific, philosophical and social breakthroughs presented in the books LIARS! Vol. 1: Scout to the Pole and LIARS! Vol. 2: Escape to Insanity.

SAFE International Launches Mississauga Women’s Self Defense for Travellers – Mississauga, ON Self Defense

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense for travellers in Mississauga, ON.

Mississauga, ON, January 07, 2012 - (Straight Line PR) - Mississauga Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Mississauga Women’s Self Defense for Travellers.

SAFE International ™ is one of the leading providers of mobile self defense/personal protection training in North America. SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense for travellers in Mississauga, ON.

At this time of year, thousands of Canadians and Americans will head south to some of the warmer clients to escape the cold North American winter many of us experience. While the majority will have an amazing time, there are countless stories of women and men of all ages, forgetting that they are in a foreign country in which there are some inherent risks. SAFE International has the history and curriculum to help reduce those risks. SAFE International doesn’t only teach physical self defense concepts, but also how to avoid becoming a victim through Awareness/Avoidance training.

Some of the risks people need to concern themselves with when traveling in regards to women’s travel self defense Mississauga includes what an attacker looks for in a potential victim, what an attacker wants and doesn't want in confrontation, hotel safety, plus taxis and buses.

One of the biggest topics that SAFE International explores is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. The nightlife in many of these countries provides many opportunities for attacks, date rape or kidnappings. SAFE International covers the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. Instruction would then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible. Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, SAFE International instructors cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario. The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Mississauga women’s self defense for travellers. Physical self defense instruction begins with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance.  SAFE International only teaches gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. They teach a philosophy of "Attack the Attacker" which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator. Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed. Self defense training does not take years, and in fact with just a few hours of women’s self defense instruction for travelers, you can be confident that you have reduced the odds of harm and can have some peace of mind if it is your daughter or son who is traveling.

SAFE International has taught more than 135,000 women since 1994.

Companies ignore Smartphone users online: 7 in 10 have no mobile website - 8 in 10 send no mobile emails

Mobile 'Will Improve' Online Conversion Rates

Shenley Wood, Milton Keynes, January 06, 2012 - Despite the rapid growth in popularity of mobile internet use – most smartphone users access websites and 33% make purchases on it (according to EPiServer*) - over two-thirds of companies (70%) have not yet optimised their websites for mobile. And more than 8 in 10 (84%) are not designing marketing emails for mobile.

These are findings from the latest RedEye and Econsultancy Conversion Rate Optimization Report 2011, based on a survey of more than 700 client-side and agency digital marketers. 

The report highlights that mobile should play a key role in retaining customers online. Given that just 25% of marketers say they are satisfied with online conversion rates, tablets and phones should not be ignored in mobile conversion strategies - and will even help to boost conversion overall.

It is so easy for brands to damage their online reputation and ignoring customers viewing on mobiles and tablets can be off-putting and potentially impact engagement, particularly in highly competitive marketplaces.

Optimising for mobile is a missed opportunity, especially for retailers, as many are now seeing serious return on their mobile investment. 

Mark Patron, CEO at RedEye, explains: “Accepting that consumers often use multiple devices to access email and Internet, if the content is not optimised for the media it directly impacts conversion. For customers trying to view a full scale website on their phone, it’s not just frustrating, it’s all too-easy to head elsewhere to a properly optimised site.”

According to stats from the ONS, there has been significant growth in mobile internet adoption over the last 12 months, with an extra 6m using their phone to access the web over 2010. 

Usability testing with mobiles

One way to see if a brand needs a dedicated mobile site is to look at the user experience for mobile visitors. This will identify whether some parts of the site simply do not work, Flash elements for example. Also, while the site may work reasonably well via mobile, there may be hidden barriers to purchase which will only be picked up during testing. 

However, only just under a third (28% of companies and 30% of agency clients) say they have used mobile phones and under a fifth have used tablets while testing (16% of company respondents and 17% of agency clients).

Optimising emails for mobile

Another area where companies can improve ROI is adapting emails for mobile devices. A growing proportion of emails (15% upwards) are being opened and read on mobile phones, but still only a minority of companies are optimising emails for mobile.

Despite the potential for improving open rates by optimising emails for mobile, just 14% of companies and 24% of agencies are currently doing this. 

For a copy of the full report please visit: http://econsultancy.com/reports/conversion-rate-optimization-report

Based on the findings of this report RedEye has released a new white paper explaining how to implement a structured process to improve online conversion. This white paper can be downloaded from www.redeye.com .

The research is based on a survey of more than 700 client-side and agency digital marketers carried out in July and August 2011.

Limerock Gazebos Announces Winter Gazebo Enclosures, Now Using PGT EzeBreeze

Limerock Gazebos, an innovative Amish gazebo manufacturer in the heart of Amish country, Lititz PA, offers an innovative solution for year-round all-weather gazebos. Working with PGT®, Limerock has produced a package available as a kit or fully assembled, incorporating PGT Eze-Breeze® weather barrier instead of the typical screen system, which creates an attractive enclosure with amazing flex properties.

Lancaster, PA, January 04, 2012 (Straight Line PR) -- Limerock Gazebos, an Amish gazebo manufacturer in the heart of Amish country, Lancaster County Pennsylvania, has an innovative new gazebo package making gazebos cold-weather friendly. "Not only does this keep out the wet and cold, it also makes an excellent wind barrier which can be a real benefit during winter months," says Ben Stoltzfus of Limerock. "Our kits have always been easy to set up, and these new Eze-Breeze® porch enclosure products manufactured by PGT® are perfect for our customers."

Gazebo owners can mix and match - just covering three sides facing the most common wind direction while covering with screens on the other sides, or they can go with a full Eze-Breeze system year-round. Because they are held in place by two vertical slats it's a simple task to set them up as needed. Vinyl gazebos are similarly equipped ( http://www.creativegazebos.com/vinylgazeboshome.html ).

PGT Industries custom fits their Eze-Breeze system to Limerock's gazebo kit specifications, and the result is an all-weather gazebo that's perfect every time. PGT Eze-Breeze weather barrier creates an attractive enclosure and has some amazing flex properties.

PGT says of the Eze-Breeze product line: "They're versatile, attractive, strong and easy to operate. The 10-mil vinyl glazing gives the benefit of glass without the cost or the weight. It's as transparent as glass, but not nearly as heavy. Or expensive. Or susceptible to cracking or breaking."

If an Eze-Breeze window accidentally pushed or distorted, the tough 10-mil vinyl will return to its original shape within minutes. It's a product with a memory.

Limerock has been manufacturing and distributing their Gazebo designs nationally through their dealer network for over 20 years. "It's a family business," says Stoltzfus, who started the business himself. Over the years Limerock gazebos has added to their original gazebo kits product line ( http://www.creativegazebos.com/woodclassic.html ) and offers pergolas, pavilions, and other outdoor wood structures for almost any need.

Crowd-Sourced Marketing Website Test My Message is 2011 Winner of "Most Innovative" Award

Crowd-sourced marketing website Test My Message has been recognized as 2011's Most Innovative home business by StartupNation, in its annual Home-Based 100 competition.

Springfield, MO, January 04, 2012 (Straight Line PR) -- Crowd-sourced marketing website Test My Message has been recognized as Number 1 in the category "Most Innovative Home Business" in the nation by StartupNation in its annual Home-Based 100 competition.

Many of the StartupNation Home-Based 100 entries showed that people are leveraging the efficiencies and lower overhead of home-based businesses to pursue their passion and bring in income during these tight economic times. 

"The 2011 ranking reveals that home business is serious business - more relevant than ever. It's a natural response to loss of job opportunities, the need for supplemental income and the sheer passion for blazing your own trail and running your own show," said Rich Sloan, co-founder of StartupNation.com ( http://www.startupnation.com/ ), one of the leading small business networking and knowledge hubs online. "Home based businesses are the biggest block of all businesses in existence, and we expect numbers to grow ever greater as extra bedrooms, kitchen tables, basements and garages increasingly host the innovative thinking and pursuit of success by millions of Americans."

"It's an honor to win the Startup Nation award for Most Innovative. The exposure from winning has been tremendous, and we've seen a continued stream of sales from the exposure," Said Brian Schmitt, co-owner of Test My Message ( http://www.TestMyMessage.com ).

A recent radio ad, which explains more about how Test My Message works, can be found on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iECWwjWEWKI

The StartupNation Home-Based 100 highlights 10 top-ten lists, making it more than just your ordinary business ranking. From the wackiest, to the most innovative, to the best financial performers - this unique and diverse list highlights the home-based businesses that usually go unrecognized, but still play a vital role in the economy today.

The ten categories for 2011 include:

* Most Innovative

* Boomers Back in Business

* Greenest

* Yummiest

* Wackiest

* Highest Vote-Getters

* Recession Busters

* Most Slacker-Friendly

* Most Glamorous

About Test my Message:

The idea for Test my Message ( http://www.TestMyMessage.com ) was the brainchild of Dave McInnis, the founder of PR Web. Dave brought the idea to a special course at the Wizard Academy in Austin, Texas. Five students of the academy spent three days taking the idea, building a website, convincing experts to be part of the project, and launching the site.

On September 1, 2011 the site went live with much fanfare. Of the original five-person team, three are carrying the flag forward. Rich Carr, Matt Lenhard, Ernie Nycz, and Brian Schmitt are at the helm, zig zagging their way to creating a thriving community of experts who help small businesses grow through better marketing.

This is accomplished by providing feedback on each marketing message from a variety of experts, quickly and at a ridiculously cheap cost. Instead of hiring just one consultant, Test My Message allows users to get feedback from a variety of experts.

Proceeds of every dollar earned will flow back to the Wizard Academy, a non-traditional, non-profit business school located in Austin, TX.

SAFE International Launches Barrie Women’s Self Defense for Travellers – Barrie, ON Self Defense

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense for travellers in Barrie, ON.

Barrie, ON, January 04, 2012 - (Straight Line PR) - Barrie Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Barrie Women’s Self Defense for Travellers.

SAFE International ™ is one of the leading providers of mobile self defense/personal protection training in North America. SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense for travellers in Barrie, ON.

At this time of year, thousands of Canadians and Americans will head south to some of the warmer clients to escape the cold North American winter many of us experience. While the majority will have an amazing time, there are countless stories of women and men of all ages, forgetting that they are in a foreign country in which there are some inherent risks. SAFE International has the history and curriculum to help reduce those risks. SAFE International doesn’t only teach physical self defense concepts, but also how to avoid becoming a victim through Awareness/Avoidance training.

Some of the risks people need to concern themselves with when traveling in regards to women’s travel self defense Barrie includes what an attacker looks for in a potential victim, what an attacker wants and doesn't want in confrontation, hotel safety, plus taxis and buses. One of the biggest topics that SAFE International explores is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. The nightlife in many of these countries provides many opportunities for attacks, date rape or kidnappings. SAFE International covers the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. Instruction would then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible.  Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, SAFE International instructors cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario. The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Barrie women’s self defense for travellers. Physical self defense instruction begins with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance.  SAFE International only teaches gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. They teach a philosophy of "Attack the Attacker" which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator. Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed. Self defense training does not take years, and in fact with just a few hours of women’s self defense instruction for travelers, you can be confident that you have reduced the odds of harm and can have some peace of mind if it is your daughter or son who is traveling.

SAFE International has taught more than 135,000 women since 1994. For more information on self defense instruction for travelers, please email Chris Roberts, CEO, by email at chrisroberts@safeinternational.biz You can also visit the website at www.safeinternational.biz SAFE International can also be reached toll free at 1 800 465 5972.

Pay Your Family First and Choices Educational Empowerment team up to launch ThriveTime Scholarship Challenge across Arizona High Schools

Best selling author Sharon Lechter’s financial literacy organization, Pay Your Family First, has joined forces with the non-profit group, Choices Educational Empowerment to launch the first ThriveTime Scholarship Challenge at Estrella High School in Avondale on January 18, 2012.

Paradise Valley/Phoenix, AZ, January 03, 2012 - Best selling author Sharon Lechter’s financial literacy organization, Pay Your Family First, has joined forces with the non-profit group, Choices Educational Empowerment to launch the first ThriveTime Scholarship Challenge at Estrella High School in Avondale on January 18, 2012. Schools across Arizona will participate in the initiative through April 2012 and students will be eligible for regional and state level competitions. The student organization, FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) is holding competitions at their regional and state conferences between January and April for advancement as well.

The challenge invites high school students to compete in game play of Lechter’s award winning board game, ThriveTime for Teens. Developed by Lechter as a tool for teaching money management to youth and families, the game requires participants to navigate real-life scenarios related to earning, saving, investing, spending, and giving. Top winners from all competitions will earn scholarships or cash prizes and move on to the state competition in April of 2012, coinciding with Financial Literacy Month.

A struggling economy and budget cuts at the national and local level have left schools struggling to maintain high quality education, with many families questioning how to finance college expenses. Compounding the issue, studies show that many youth demonstrate a very poor understanding of money and finances. The challenge promotes Lechter’s mission to empower schools, families and youth to embrace financial literacy.

"Managing money is a life skill – and as parents, grandparents and interested adults – it's up to us to equip our children for the financial world they are going to face. Our ThriveTime Challenge will teach critical, practical skills while awarding scholarships and prizes for well deserving students and their schools," said Lechter.

Arizona State Treasurer, Doug Ducey applauds this initiative and is expected to appear at the state competition, where students will compete for cash awards ranging from $2500 to $5000, plus chances to earn spots at the regional and state competitions. There is no cost to participating schools, and each one receives a $250 donation from Pay Your Family First in addition to classroom resources that will be used to ensure the sustainability of the program. Every student participating in the competition will receive a take home copy of the ThriveTime for Teens game to share will family and peers.

Members of the Arizona State Society of CPA’s will provide volunteers to facilitate the competitions. Arizona schools interested in hosting a ThriveTime Scholarship Challenge, or organizations interested in supporting the events should contact Angela Totman at Pay Your Family First: angela@pyff.net or visit www.thrivetimechallenge.com
