Hanoi, Vietnam, July 05, 2012 - HANOI-based Luxury Travel (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) has launched a Central Golf Coast Tour of Vietnam tour package to leverage on Central Vietnam’s growing golf appeal, due to the improved air access and new products in the area.

Vietnam currently has 29 golf courses, and Ha added that two new golf courses, including the Laguna Lang Co Golf Club and Ba Na Hills Golf Club, will open in Central Vietnam in late 2012.

FRA agrees that Brazil Regulations could boost Agricultural investment

Business Monitor International (BMI) has predicted that investment in forestry and agriculture in the Amazon region will be boosted as a result of the new forestry regulations giving people more control over land rights.

Bainbridge Island, WA, July 05, 2012 - Business Monitor International (BMI) has predicted that investment in forestry and agriculture in the Amazon region will be boosted as a result of the new forestry regulations giving people more control over land rights.

Brazil is one of the largest producers of soybeans and cattle in the world and the controversial new rights handed to land owners will make these areas of agriculture more attractive as investment options. This is according to international researchers at BMI whose view is also backed by Forestry Research Associates (FRA), a research and analysis consultancy specializing in forestry investment.

FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins, said, ”These new regulations have come at a time when the demand for beef and soy are growing in emerging markets. The regulations mean that more land could be given over to these agricultural activities, which is bound to attract more investment in to the region.”

However, FRA is keen to promote a more sustainable option of investing in non-native forestry plantations in the Amazon region. These plantations, run by firms like Greenwood Management, involve focusing on fast-growing species that are not native to the region. As a result, timber products from these species are more sustainable alternative to the wood from the natural rainforests, which are vulnerable.

“Managing forestry sustainably is something we support,” claimed Mr Collins, who added, “Investing in these plantations, investors can cash in on the growth in demand for raw materials from emerging markets without contributing to the degradation of the region’s rainforests."

There has recently been pressure on Brazilian pressure Dilma Rousseff to veto some of the new provisions, which could lead to a reducing in the farmers’ ability to expand the amount of land given over to agriculture. There continues to be people in favor of the new regulations and those against, the latter of which claim that the regulations will undo all the good work that has been done to reduce deforestation.

Toenail Fungus - Summer is synonymous with open-toe sandal season

For many people suffering from embarrassing and unsightly fungal nail infections, there is now hope.

Manhasset, NY, July 04, 2012 - Summer is synonymous with open-toe sandal season! It’s time to break out your sandals from the closet and show off your feet! For many people suffering from embarrassing and unsightly fungal nail infections, there is now hope. Thickened, yellow, hard to cut nails can now be a thing of the past! Fungal nail infections can be successfully treated at New York Laser Aesthetics Group through a cutting edge, FDA-approved procedure called the Q-Clear Foot Laser. This breakthrough treatment will give you your confidence back to show off your hands and feet this summer.

New York Laser Aesthetics Group is conveniently located in Manhasset, New York, a short drive from Port Washington, Garden City, Jericho, Syosset and Woodbury. They offer unparalleled expertise in nail fungus (onycomycosis) removal, with a trained and experienced staff ready to diagnose and treat your nail fungus infections with proper care, understanding, efficiency and effectiveness. The staff at New York Laser Aesthetics Group understands how embarrassing and detrimental a fungal nail infection can be, and are happy to treat you in their discreet, welcoming clinic. Appointments are available at your convenience, with most treatments quick enough to be completed during your lunch hour. Saturday appointments are also available.

Nail fungus is very common and affects about 15% of the US population. Until recently, the most effective treatment available for the millions of sufferers out there was a type of prescription pill that could potentially cause liver toxicity, and therefore required periodic blood tests. Luckily, as a result of years of research, the Q-clear foot laser was developed. This technology has only recently been made available to the public. The laser treatment is safe, painless and fast, and has been proven effective at eliminating fungus from fingernails and toenails.

The vast majority of patients see a significant improvement in their nails, and many see their nails return to being healthy and clear. The time needed for invisible improvement depends on the area being treated—a big toenail will replace itself in 12 to 18 months, and a lesser toenail will do so in 9 to 12 months. Healthy new growth will be visible in 4 to 5 months. The laser treatment will not cause your toenails to discolor or fall off.

There is no need to worry about the safety of the Q-clear Foot Laser. There have been NO adverse reactions, injuries, disabilities or known side effects associated with this laser treatment. Compared with the risks of taking the oral medications available today for treating toenail fungus, the laser is virtually risk-free. Prescriptions posing serious health risks to the liver and kidneys can be very dangerous, and do not always clear the problem entirely.

The Q-clear Foot Laser treatment does not harm you in any way. You will be able to put on your shoes and walk out of the of?ce just as well as you walked in. You can wear shoes immediately following, and pedicures are not prohibited after the laser treatment.

While laser treatment is considered aesthetic and therefore is not covered by insurance plans, treatment is affordable. The cost for many patients is LESS than what they have paid for expensive prescriptions they have tried in the past, often without success. Having the peace of mind that you can show off your hands and feet all summer with confidence is worth it!

Make this summer special—wear those sandals that you’ve been avoiding! New York Laser Aesthetics Group will be happy to speak with you about the Q-clear Foot Laser and your treatment options for fungal nail infections. Please call them today to schedule a free consultation and to learn about any upcoming promotions. You may contact them at 516-627-7777 or through their website at www.nylaser1.com.

Extra-wide European Walnut Flooring in Stock for The First Time at Urbane Living

Extra-wide European walnut flooring is now available from Urbane Living

London, UK, July 03, 2012 - For the first time, customers have the opportunity to buy extra-wide engineered European walnut flooring from trusted supplier Urbane Living.

European walnut flooring is ever-popular thanks to its distinctive grain patterns and warm colour finish. Meeting growing customer demand for wider planks, Urbane Living can now offer the floorboards in widths of 240 - 500mm and lengths of 2,000 – 4,000mm as required by customers.

Adam Robertson, co-founder of Urbane Living, commented: “The unique point about these boards is that they are available for the first time with incredibly wide widths, up to 500mm wide and 2 to 4m in length.”

He added: “They are manufactured to a very high standard with the same timber on the bottom layer to act as a counter balance layer for added stability.”

Homeowners can rest assured that their floor will last too - European walnut flooring is harder than American walnut flooring, which makes it less susceptible to dents. It’s also highly sought-after for its polished finish. Opting for extra wide walnut flooring provides the additional benefit of allowing users to appreciate the grain of the wood. This varies from piece to piece but can include more natural wood with interesting knots across the surface, or a smoother dark piece of material if preferred.

Wider flooring was identified as a key interiors trend at the Dotomex 2012 exhibition - an international wood flooring trade show which was held in Hanover, Germany earlier this year. The trend for wide-plank wood flooring fits in with the increasing demand for natural, eco-friendly flooring options, which looks set to continue to grow in popularity.

The flooring is sold in 1m2 units and is priced at £140.68 ex. VAT ( £168.82 inc. VAT)

Incite Creative Named as Finalist for AMA Baltimore Marketing Excellence Award

The American Marketing Association (AMA), one of the world’s largest marketing associations, conducts an annual review of the best local marketing campaigns with demonstrable success.

Baltimore, MD, July 02, 2012 - The American Marketing Association (AMA), one of the world’s largest marketing associations, conducts an annual review of the best local marketing campaigns with demonstrable success. Incite Creative, a Baltimore-based marketing and graphic design firm that provides strategic and creative solutions to corporate and non-profit clients, was recently named by the AMA’s Baltimore chapter as a finalist for their Marketing Excellence Award.

The marketing association performed a review of Incite Creative’s work with The Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Foundation in support of the Baltimore Elementary/Middle School Library Project. This multi-million dollar, multi-year initiative works with local schools by designing, building, equipping, and staffing new or renovated school libraries to improve the reading proficiency in Baltimore’s elementary and middle schools. Incite Creative’s challenge was to create a marketing campaign to generate awareness and involvement from government officials, state agencies, heads of education, and the general public.

Before the project launched in December 2011, Incite conducted focus groups with age-appropriate children and their parents to help provide the strategy for the campaign. As a result of the feedback, Incite designed the Library Project’s multi-color logo that represents books and the urban landscape. Additional brand touch points, including print and electronic invitations, book marks, book plates, signage and support marketing materials were also created.

Among other utility, these pieces were used to generate publicity for the Book Drive, a community-wide effort to collect books during the state’s Read Across Maryland month in March. As of April, the Book Drive resulted in the collection of close to 10,000 books.

In addition to working with the Weinberg Foundation on this project, Incite Creative has a long history of successfully assisting non-profit organizations with brand development and creative services. Some other non-profits that Incite has worked with include:

Autism Society of America Baltimore/Chesapeake Chapter

By Their Side

Center for Medical Technology Policy

Moveable Feast

Tissue Banks International

“We enjoy building brands for a variety of industries, but we do hold a special place in our hearts for nonprofit organizations. In addition to feeling a sense of pride in helping them fulfill their mission, we also find that nonprofits are typically very receptive to our suggestions and grateful for our help. In an age where the workday never ends and client demands can be draining, a simple ‘thank you so much!’ or, ‘we could have never done this without you’ on the other end of the line is a welcome reminder that our work is valued and our skills are appreciated,” said Dina Wasmer, President of Incite Creative Inc.

The American Marketing Association will be holding their annual event at the American Visionary Art Museum on September 5th to announce the winners.

About Incite Creative (www.incitecreativeinc.com)

Now in its twelfth year in business, Incite Creative is a marketing and graphic design firm that specializes in strategic positioning, brand development and creative implementation services for Mid-Atlantic, small-to-mid-sized companies and organizations that have regional, national and international reach.

Customized Luxury Travel is a Sure Bet this Season

Vernelda Travel reveals why luxury personalized itineraries are so in demand As summer heats up, many people are headed off on vacations.

New York, NY, July 02, 2012 - Vernelda Travel reveals why luxury personalized itineraries are so in demand As summer heats up, many people are headed off on vacations. A growing percentage of them, have booked their travel as a customized itinerary. Customized Travel is travel that is tailor-made, for an individual or group. Each day of the trip is designed based upon the specific needs and wants of the traveler.

“Off The Shelf and Packaged Travel is kind of passé” says Andrea Spooner, Managing Director of Vernelda Travel. “People are no longer interested in fitting their needs and wants into a generic, non-authentic itinerary”. This is particularly the case for luxury travelers, who are increasingly requesting more personalization, pampering, and overall one-of-a-kind travel experiences. Spooner adds: “Luxury Travel is no longer one dimensional. If three different people visit the same destination, they can come away with three different perspectives and experiences”.

The destinations for luxury customized travel are quite varied. There are customized private travel itineraries available to Europe, China, and Latin America, just to name a few. According to Spooner: “It’s really not so much a destination specific thing, as it is a people specific thing. This is luxury travel created just for you. This is travel the way you dreamed it could be: expertly designed, enriching, and hassle free”.

The central coast is growing in stature as one of the hottest tourist spots in Southeast Asia, with a variety of attractions, including golf. Tour operators are now tapping into this growth with new products and offices.

While Vietnam hasn’t been historically synonymous with great golf, travelers can fly from Hanoi, HCM city or Singapore, BKK, and Kula Lumpur through Danang’s new international airport which has made the region a ‘must play’ golf experience in Asia.

“On our new 6 day tour, golf lovers will play a few of Vietnam’s world-class golf courses, including Montgomerie Links and Danang Golf Club. You will stay in the best beach front resorts in Danang or Hoi An. Additional historic cultural experiences will be available at Hue and Hoi An, and the stunning coastline of Vietnam will ensure that visitors will take away a truly memorable experience and a great story of newly-discovered adventures. This tour is also suitable for non-golfers companions.” said Pham Ha, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com ).

For many travel experts, Danang is more appealing than Bali or Phuket and its beach has been voted one of the world’s best by Forbes Magazine.

“There are also two new golf courses, the Laguna Lang Co Golf Club and Ba Na Hills Golf Club, which are set to open in Central Vietnam in late 2012. The past two years have seen the completion of many luxurious resorts along the coastline with names such as Hyatt, the Nam Hai, Accord, Vinpearl, Intercontinental, and Fusion Maia entering the market and offering more choices for golfers. We will launch new exciting golf packages and our efforts are to promote Central Vietnam as a high-end golf destination in Southeast Asia. We are seeing the interest from golfers from the Middle East, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand” added Mr. Ha.

There are 29 golf courses in Vietnam and many others set to open, making Vietnam Asia's most exciting new golf tourism destination.

Vietnam’s first luxury tour operator/DMC (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com), based in Hanoi, and with offices throughout Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand, Luxury Travel is exceptional in designing tailor-made tours and providing unique travel experiences.

The Bank of Marion Selects Continuity Control for Compliance Platform

High-Performing Community Bank Looks To Improve Regulatory Efforts And Reduce Costs

New Haven, CT, June 28, 2012 - Continuity Control, the only complete compliance platform built for community financial institutions, today announced that The Bank of Marion (Illinois) has signed on to use the firm’s award-winning solution.

By centralizing all regulatory management activities, the Continuity Control platform enables financial institutions like The Bank of Marion to reduce the resources they spend on compliance while ensuring that they pass regulatory muster and effectively keep up with the steady stream of regulatory changes.

"We're a high performing bank and we try to do everything right,” says Ray Altmix, The Bank of Marion’s president and CEO, “but compliance still keeps me up at night, even more than a potential problem in the loan portfolio. Though we have done very well on our exams, I can’t say we've ever been able to keep up."

According to Mr. Altmix, by shifting certain responsibilities to the Continuity Control platform, the bank will be in position to do a more thorough job with fewer employees. “I see us getting by on one-half full-time employee less. And I’m not talking about a teller, I’m talking about mid-management."

The Bank of Marion, with over $330 million in total assets, is the largest locally owned and operated bank in Williamson County. By all key performance measures available through FDIC data, including efficiency ratio, return on assets, and return on equity, The Bank of Marion is an extraordinarily high-performing institution. The bank’s ability to achieve similar returns going forward is complicated, however, by the relentless rise in operating expenses due to increased regulations.

“Even a well-managed community bank like The Bank of Marion can't keep up with the 58 rule changes that have come down in the last six months, much less the 157 that have been issued in the past year. The costs associated with this kind of regulatory compliance represent an insurmountable challenge to their current business model,” says Andy Greenawalt, Continuity Control’s co-Founder and CEO. “Our platform is the only way for community banks to operate in this complex regulatory environment to maintain reasonable and sustainable overhead.”

Continuity Control’s mission is to help community financial institutions survive and thrive by offering personalized, expert service coupled with innovative technology to relieve the compliance burden. The firm was recognized as one of the five most interesting companies in financial services at FinovateSpring 2010 and recently named among the “10 Tech Companies to Watch” by Bank Technology News.

About Continuity Control

Continuity Control is an award-winning compliance platform that combines advanced software with personalized service to help community financial institutions effectively manage their regulatory burden. Founded in 2008 by distinguished technology, banking, and compliance specialists, Continuity Control’s platform effectively reduces the resources a bank or credit union must spend on compliance while ensuring that it passes regulatory muster. Built just for smaller banks and credit unions, Continuity Control is the most comprehensive compliance management platform on the market today for community financial institutions.

Indie Rock Band This is she, Release Debut EP Nobody is Ok July 3rd

Featuring the powerful single “grow up”

Los Angeles, CA, June 28, 2012 - This Is She is about to turn lives upside down with the release of their new 6-song EP, Nobody Is Ok, gigs at mega events like Summerfest, a performance with Cobra Starship later this year and the release of their video for the single “Grow Up”. With success biting at their heels, This Is She steps outside the box of typical indie rock to deliver catchy hooks, driving rhythms and to create progressive rock n’ roll laced with pop, dubstep and electronica. This Is She is set to present their Nobody Is Ok EP to the rest of the world, available on iTunes July 3rd.

This Is She ensued when Alana Grace (vocals), Ryan Folden (drums) and Christian Paul Meadows (guitar) met while performing at Warped Tour 2009. Alana Grace began materializing the idea behind her next musical venture and enlisted Folden and Meadows to pursue the new vision to eventually become This Is She. The trio stepped away from the traditional aspects of an indie rock band tapping into the dark side of rock incorporating a passion for dubstep and electronica to create a style all their own. This Is She relishes in their unique, unparalleled sound and the inability to neatly fit into any genre. The band delivers a blend of blissful pop, heavily-distorted rock music, and the bombast of modern electronic dance music, all punctuated by Grace’s tortured, emotive, and always-soaring vocals.

This ultramodern rock n’ roll trio flawlessly delivers with their new single and video “Grow Up”. The song highlights Grace’s vocal elegance while morphing the powerful hard rock guitar riffs into memorizing and intense dubstep and electronica samples. The inspiration behind “Grow Up” is a derivative from Grace’s personal life and an old relationship. Pulling from inner emotions Grace delivers with piercing vocals and hypnotizing harmonies.

In 2011 the group was hard at work producing, writing and recording Nobody is Ok at their own studio and at Blackbird Studios in Nashville. This highly anticipated release of Nobody Is Ok EP is the perfect introductory to give the world a taste of This Is She, available July 3rd.
