The Center for Productive Longevity Lowers Age Requirements for Later-Life Story Contest

Substantial Interest from Younger Age Bracket Results in Change to Competition; Now People 50 and Older can Apply

Boulder, CO, August 13, 2012 - The Center for Productive Longevity (CPL) has decided to expand the Later-Life Story Contest to include entries from people 50 and older, down from the 55+ age requirement, due to substantial interest expressed by people in that younger age bracket. While CPL generally focuses on people 55 and older, many people are also starting businesses and living inspirational lives within the prime years of 50-55. Over the course of the contest, CPL has received feedback asking for the age qualifications to be lowered and so CPL decided to honor that request.

A panel of three influential, highly regarded judges will select one winner in each of the following two categories: (1) Entrepreneurship Success Stories and (2) Inspirational Life Stories. The winners will each receive $1,000 and a specially designed trophy. From the entries, CPL will select a variety of entrepreneur success stories to post on its website, along with the stories of the two winners.

The essential purpose of this contest is to demonstrate that older people in America can continue to lead successful and inspirational lives. With 30 years added to longevity in the 20th century, people will be doing so into their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond.

The deadline to enter the contest is coming up quickly, August 31, 2012. CPL will announce the two winners on October 1, 2012.

To submit a story, visit www.ctrpl.org/laterlifestorycontest and complete a submission form. Entrants must be 50 and older and be willing to have their story posted on the CPL website for viewing and for possible publication. Stories may also be sent to James Hooks at jhooks@ctrpl.org.

Vietnam’s First Tour Operator Targets GLBT Tourism Market

Vietnam Attracts High-End GLBT Travelers

Hanoi, Vietnam, August 13, 2012 - Vietnam has become a popular niche market for gay and lesbian travelers. Gay and lesbian travelers are increasingly becoming the focus of tour companies as the tourism industry looks to put the woes of the global financial crisis behind it. Luxury Travel Ltd. announces new bespoke holidays for upscale gay and lesbian travelers to Vietnam.

Vietnam-based Luxury Travel Ltd. (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) is a long established Asian specialist in the art of travel and serves today’s most sophisticated travelers, with luxury privately guided and fully bespoke holidays in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand.

According to Luxury Travel’s experts, gay family travel, same-sex weddings and honeymoon breaks in Vietnam that allow gay marriage have been a recent focus. The tourism industry is becoming more and more aware of the potential of high-end gay travelers, as the majority has no children and therefore often have more disposable income. Therefore, they often have more time and money and can travel whenever they wish, even in this global financial climate.

Luxury Travel Ltd. taps this market and promotes luxury and bespoke travel experiences and is very friendly to gay and lesbian travelers, from tour guides to drivers and all representatives.

“A few years ago, GLBT was considered a niche market and now it is really being considered a segment in and of itself. We add focus on the gay and lesbian market in order to properly train our staff and deliver the expected service. We make them feel welcome and the same as all other travelers.” said Pham Ha, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.

Luxury Travel Ltd. is the first tour company in Vietnam (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) offering niche tours for not only couples, but also for upscale singles. This travel company also offers tailor made spa and adventure themed luxury escapes.

The incredible itineraries that are chosen are to amazing places, and leave visitors feeling like they actually have more than enough time to absorb the experience and really do what guests want to do, rather than feeling hurried and rushed as with traditional tours offered by other travel companies.

“Quietly, Vietnam has become a popular niche market for gay tourists. Ho Chi Minh City former Saigon is particularly welcoming,” said David Nguyen, Sales and Marketing Manager of Luxury Travel Ltd.

He also says that it’s all because of the locals’ friendly attitude: “People living here have a very open approach to gay people. The Vietnamese government also wants to legalize same sex marriage in the country.”

David reveals that his company receives more and more custom tours from gay and lesbian travelers worldwide. They prefer to stay in the top luxury hotels and resorts and are big spenders, with 99% happy to recommend Luxury Travel Ltd.’s services to their friends and colleagues.

“We had a wonderful trip in Vietnam and all accommodations and tour guides were fantastic. We enjoyed all the sights included in our schedule as well as all meals planned by Luxury Travel, so thank you! I will definitely recommend Luxury Travel Ltd to all my family and friends. Let me stress that all guides and hotel employees were very respectful, kind, and professional and we have no complaints against any individual we encountered. Your company went above and beyond our expectations and we couldn't be more pleased with the service we received,” said Julie and Valerie, satisfied clients of Luxury Travel Company from New Orleans, LA, USA.

The website to go view wonderful selections of inspirational luxury trips is www.luxurytravelvietnam.com. Further, guests can be connected directly via email to luxury travel advisors at advisor@luxurytravelvietnam.com for special interest or custom tours.

SAFE International, North America’s Self Defense Leader, Launches High School Self Defense in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

SAFE International is a leading provider of high school self defense training in North America. SAFE International is pleased to announce its expansion into Milwaukee, Wisconsin with a focused marketing campaign to provide self defense to high school students. SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 high school students since 1994.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, August 10, 2012 (Straight Line PR) -- SAFE International™ is the leading provider of self defense training in North America. It currently operates throughout North America and has expanded into Milwaukee, Wisconsin with a focused marketing campaign to provide Milwaukee high school self defense to both female and male students. SAFE International has delivered training to more than 150,000 high school students since 1994.

SAFE International™ believes that Personal Self Defense Protection Education beginning at the High School level helps to develop and ensure that teenage students transition into our communities and workplaces as more confident and responsible individuals helping to strengthen our communities. SAFE International has become North America’s most popular high school / junior high school course for both boys and girls due to the fact that we are not teaching martial arts, but rather a practical approach to personal safety with an emphasis on recognizing and avoiding potentially dangerous situations. All of our instructors are certified through SAFE International and have a unique ability to reach the students in an effective and memorable manner. Teaching teenage students poses unique and exciting challenges. With the bombardment of media and entertainment, trying to entertain teenagers can be one of the most challenging aspects of teaching Milwaukee self-defense.

Unfortunately, 1 in 4 Women will be assaulted during their lifetime... and the highest risk group is teenage women! This course has the option of either three or four, or five days of physical instruction. Physical Instruction includes basic striking, common attack scenarios, ground survival and our famous simulated attack class. In this hour, students get the opportunity to practice what they have learned in a high adrenaline simulated attack. Students experience firsthand what is known as an adrenaline dump and how it affects their ability to fight back. The students quickly learn why they are only able to execute gross motor strikes and movements. Another important aspect of the attacks is to give the students confidence, but not a false sense of over-confidence.

It is important when selecting a High School Self Defense company, that you choose the right company.

1) Does the company teach Reality Based self defense or Martial Arts? While martial arts are an excellent activity, they do not address what happens in real life with the psychology, emotions and realistic attacks in the street.

2) Does the company put some emphasis on How to Avoid Danger? Most self defense companies jump right into physical skills while ignoring the most important aspect of high school self defense which is to avoid conflict.

3) Does the company teach the students verbal skills, teaching them how to defuse an attacker? Many attackers can be talked down (defused). This is a very important skill which must be addressed.

4) Does the company brag about all their credentials rather than pointing out how they can make the students safer? While you want someone with excellent credentials, you do not want someone who is there for their own ego.

5) Does the company teach strikes that are basic, gross motor movements? In a real attack, no one can remember highly complex skills. This is another important reason why SAFE International teaches concepts rather than techniques. Do they have the students strike pads or do they have students strike in the air? It is important the students experience making contact.

6) Does the company tell you that they can teach Milwaukee High School self defense without any strikes, so that you do not need to be concerned with them becoming aggressive? While we always emphasize run when you can, you must teach students basic strikes or you are not helping them to address real self defense. The goal is to avoid but if you can’t, use verbal skills and if that fails, strike in order to be able to get away safely.

7) Does the company teach realistic holds, grabs, groundwork which is applicable to the students or are they more concerned with looking good, teaching fancy techniques?

8) Does the company offer a class with Realistic Simulated Attacks recreating the intensity and adrenaline of a real attack? Is it done in a safe format? Some companies have students break boards or punch in the air for a final test. Recreating simulated attacks is crucial in making your students safer.

9) Does the company have an excellent reputation, having taught literally thousands and thousands of students? Knowing how to deal with high school students takes a particular skill and not all self defense instructors are able to do it effectively.

10) Does the company have hundreds of evaluations from both teachers and students?

To schedule your Milwaukee High School self defense course, please visit www.highschoolselfdefense.com You can also email Chris Roberts, CEO, directly by email at chrisroberts@safeinternational.biz or toll free at 1-800-465-5972

SAFE International™ is North America’s most popular high school personal safety awareness and self defense course for both boys and girls. They deliver a practical approach to personal safety which includes classroom instruction and physical instruction with an emphasis on recognizing and avoiding potentially dangerous situations. Here are some tips when choosing a high school self defense company for your students.

SAFE International Launches Milwaukee Women’s Self Defense Parties – Milwaukee Self Defense

Milwaukee Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Milwaukee Women’s Self Defense Parties.

Milwaukee, WI, August 10, 2012 - (Straight Line PR) - Milwaukee Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Milwaukee Women’s Self Defense Parties.

SAFE International ™ is a leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in North America. SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense parties in Milwaukee, WI.

SAFE International quickly realized that women had completely different concerns, fears, and needs than males. Chris Roberts, CEO of SAFE International listened to their concerns and tailored something that was not only educational, but also met their personal fears. Men have no idea what women go through on an everyday basis from the stares and comments to the physical gestures and advances.

One of the reasons that SAFE International enjoys teaching women’s self defense Milwaukee, is how receptive women are to the skills that the SAFE International instructors provide. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts, rather than techniques. This allows women to learn in a much shorter time. SAFE International always covers Awareness and Avoidance strategies which are based on one's daily routines. We examine what an attacker looks for, what an attacker wants and doesn't want in confrontation. One of the biggest topics we explore is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. We cover the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. We 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, we cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario. The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Milwaukee women’s self defense. We begin with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance. We only teach gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. We 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. This is only 30 minutes into the physical training and you can see how the self defense concepts are very effective. The self defense drills increase with intensity as the participants gain more confidence. It is important to build rapport with your students and the results will be seen as the drills progress. The following YouTube video shows how much can be learned in only 30 minutes of women’s self defense instruction.

YouTUBE video : http://www.youtube.com/embed/ayeWEXZsDuo

Forget Tupperware Parties!

Invite 6 to 8 of your friends for a few hours of fun, education and potentially life- saving instruction. Plan a meal, bbq, snacks, maybe some dessert! Be prepared for a unique Milwaukee Women’s Self Defense experience! What has made SAFE International so popular is their unique method of teaching with humour and sharing of anecdotes. Get to experience their simulated attacks in scenario specific situations such as at the front door, the kitchen, the car, etc.

SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 clients including mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Social investing is taking off in the US, claims AAA

A growing number of savvy investors are putting their cash into social investment bonds and funds that not only help vulnerable people to make more of the lives, but also make the investors money, according to AAA.

Boston, MA, August 09, 2012 - A growing number of savvy investors are putting their cash into social investment bonds and funds that not only help vulnerable people to make more of the lives, but also make the investors money, according to Alternative Asset Analysis.

AAA, an alternative investment advocacy group, claims that a number of recent articles in high-profile publications, such as NBCnews.com have underlined the growing popularity of social impact investing in the US. Although impact investing is not a new thing, some may think it only tends to focus on helping those in developing countries However, this is not so and a large number of bonds and funds are popping up in US cities aimed at helping locals get back on their feet.

The Calvert Social Investment Foundation is one such fund, which has loaned money to a range of good causes, such as Portland, Oregon-based central City Concern. This non-profit organization helps locals afflicted by poverty, homelessness and addiction to learn skills and start businesses.

The investment part of the deal takes place when the loans made by the Calvert foundation, and other similar funds, are packaged into bonds, which are then sold to investors who might be looking to invest in social projects.

AAA supports these kinds of projects, claiming that they can make a significant difference to people all over the world if they are managed correctly and there is enough interest. “A growing number of wealthy individual are becoming interested in philanthropy” stated AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson. “Following the global economic crisis, making a quick buck has become less important than helping their fellow man, it seems.”

AAA supports a range of alternative investments, with the emphasis on forestry research through sustainable plantations run by firms like Greenwood Management.

Bryant & Stratton College Online Announces Webinar: How to Make the Most of an Entry-Level Job

Webinar to be held on August 22, highlighting advice on what to do and what not to do in an entry level position; free for prospective and current students and new college graduates

Buffalo, NY, August 08, 2012 - Bryant & Stratton College Online announced today a new session in its ongoing free career training webinar series. New college graduates, prospective students and current Bryant & Stratton College Online students are encouraged to attend the free webinar titled, “Make the Most of an Entry-Level Job.” This session will take place on Wednesday, August 22, from noon to 1:00 p.m. EDT.

Acclaimed career coach Kim Dority will lead the webinar. Ms. Dority is a frequent presenter for Bryant & Stratton College Online and has been writing about and teaching courses on career training for more than a decade.

“An entry level job is a great place to start building your professional reputation and developing your career smarts,” said Dority. “This webinar will coach attendees through the actions to take – and avoid – to make the most of this important opportunity.”

The “Make the Most of an Entry-Level Job” webinar will highlight tricks and tips for new graduates as well as prospective and current students. Attendees of the webinar will learn how to:

* Impress not only their boss, but their colleagues

* Benefit from other’s knowledge while effectively contributing their own ideas

* Navigate the “new hire” landscape to establish trust and respect for their professional skills, maturity and judgment

“Emphasis is often put into how to find and get a job, which are both important steps in creating a successful career; but this webinar demonstrates that the work does not stop once you’ve heard ‘you’re hired,’” said Scott Traylor, Associate Campus Director for Online Education at Bryant & Stratton College. “Whether you’re a new graduate or just starting to consider enrolling in a degree program, understanding all the steps that go into building a strong career path is important.

AAA Welcomes Report on Bransons impact Investing efforts

AAA has welcomed a report into Richard Branson’s impact investing efforts.

Boston, MA, August 08, 2012 - Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has welcomed a report into Richard Branson’s impact investing efforts. The article, published by Marketwatch.com, talks about how Virgin boss, Richard Branson, has taken a huge interest in impact investing and has launched Virgin Unite to try to help boost its popularity among regular investors.

The celebrity ambassador for social enterprise investment recently held a promotional shark-swimming activity in Cancun, which attempted to promote small businesses such as the shark-swimming trips that help to raise eco-awareness. The trips illustrated how investors can help small social enterprises and family business in developing countries to thrive, according to AAA. "They help communities and local environments to flourish, while investors start to see returns on their investment when the small businesses begin to grow and pay back loans," explained AAA's partner Anthony Johnson.

Richard Branson recently published a book called Screw Business As Usual. He stated, “I have written this book for those who, at the same time as wanting to develop a business and make a living, also want to do more to help people and the planet.

“It’s a vibrant sea change from the way business was always done, when financial profit alone was the driving force.” The book is intended to back up the work of Virgin Unite, which is a non-profit organization intended to help guide investors towards suitable social enterprise that need investment.

Jean Oelwang, the CEO of the organization, explained, “We basically look at ways philanthropy and charity can play a role in kickstarting new markets.”

AAA, an advocate of alternative and impact investing, supports many kinds of ethical investment, including timberland investment. Mr Johnson, explained, “Investing in sustainable forestry land through organizations like Greenwood Management, for example, can help to reduce deforestation by providing alternatives to illegally sourced timber. Greenwood Management runs plantations on non-native trees species in Brazil and Canada.

SAFE International, North America’s Self Defense Leader, Launches Milwaukee Self Defense Seminars

SAFE International is a leading provider of self defense training in North America. SAFE International is pleased to announce its expansion into Milwaukee, WI with a focused marketing campaign to provide self defense to women, corporations and high school students.

Milwaukee, WI, August 08, 2012 (Straight Line PR) -- SAFE International™ is a leading provider of self defense training in North America. It currently operates throughout North America and has expanded into Milwaukee, WI with a focused marketing campaign to provide Milwaukee self defense to women, men, corporations, and high schools. SAFE International has delivered training to more than 150,000 people since 1994. The company is owned and managed by Chris Roberts, CEO, who is a professional teaching Director and self-defense instructor.

Mr. Roberts founded SAFE International™ in 1994. He saw there was a lack of practical and effective self defense instruction for people. The SAFE International high school courses became known for their instruction on how to deal with conflict before it starts rather than just deal with the physical side of self defense. While self protection is a serious topic, the SAFE instructors have managed to develop a course that integrates humour while still getting a serious message across to students/clients. Chris Roberts has developed and taught specially tailored Milwaukee Corporate self defense courses in the corporate environment, particularly to companies/organizations that are in higher risk professions including health care, real estate, sales people, etc. Self protection is a not only a necessity, but is also a form of insurance that will make your business more profitable and your employees more confident and secure. Workplace violence is a serious issue and SAFE has the ability to teach workplace staff how to deal with all aspects of confrontation including the Awareness/Avoidance stages along with Verbal Diffusing skills and physical self defense.

SAFE International also offers specialized Women’s Self Defense Milwaukee courses to women’s groups, including their Women’s Self Defense Parties. Twenty five percent of women will be assaulted during their lifetime. This is an alarming fact especially since over forty seven percent of crime is unreported. Women will know their attacker fifty seven percent of the time according to studies. Women lead busy lives and need easy to remember tactics that work in real-life situations. They also need training that fits into their busy schedules. SAFE International's instructors understand the challenges that women face and offer classes, group seminars and private lessons to fit into anyone's schedule.

SAFE International has become North America’s most popular high school course for both boys and girls due to the fact that they don't teach martial arts, but rather a practical approach to personal safety with an emphasis on recognizing and avoiding potentially dangerous situations. All instructors are certified through SAFE International™ and have a unique ability to reach the students in an effective and memorable manner. SAFE International has traditionally focused on self defense instruction for high school students. It offers 1, 3, 4 or 5 hour courses which can be taught over consecutive days or all in one day depending upon the school/ organization's needs. They offer High School self defense customized to the class needs and expectations. Each session includes discussion, role playing and a practical physical component ending with their famous simulated attacks in which the students get the opportunity to practice their newly learned skills on a padded instructor. These are real-world tactics that can be used by anyone against violent and stressful attacks.

SAFE International™ also trains/consults people privately on a weekly basis. Private clients include mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts that are based on Gross Motor movements, rather than complicated and difficult to remember techniques.

Contact SAFE International and Chris Roberts to schedule self defense for your corporation, group, or school. You can visit their websites at www.safeinternational.biz. You can also email Chris Roberts directly by email at chrisroberts@safeinternational.biz You can also reach Mr. Roberts toll free at 1-800-465-5972.

HealthEdSolutions.com Encourages Awareness of Common Injuries and Heart Conditions in Athletes

Leading Healthcare Certification Provider Encourages Healthcare Providers and First Responders to Educate Themselves About Common Athlete Injuries and Heart Conditions

Lincoln, NE, August 07, 2012 - As the nation’s eyes turn to London to watch the world’s greatest athletes compete for gold, Health Education Solutions (HES), a leading provider of online healthcare certification courses, encourages healthcare providers and first responders to brush up on the skills—from basic life support training (BLS) to advanced cardiac life support training (ACLS) —that will help them more quickly and skillfully respond to common injuries and heart conditions in athletes.

“Although athletes may not be subject to the conditions that plague many Americans, because of the scope of their physical activity, they can fall victim to a number of injuries and conditions that are more common in people who are active,” said Melissa Marks, president of HES. “Whether they are treating internationally renowned athletes or weekend warriors, it is important for healthcare providers and first responders to be aware of and able to respond to injuries and conditions that are more common in athletes.”

Examples of conditions that are more common in athletes include:

Athletic heart syndrome, sometimes known as athlete's heart syndrome, is a condition that can occur after prolonged periods of exercise, in which the athlete’s heart modifies its structure. Significant amounts of exercise cause the heart to enlarge and the resting pulse rate to lower. When performing medical tests such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) on an individual with athlete’s heart syndrome, practitioners can sometimes misinterpret results as evidence of serious heart disease.

Sudden cardiac death, although not a regular occurrence among athletes, can be caused by several heart conditions that often go undetected; the most common cause among young athletes is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. According to the American Heart Association, among the more than 7 million U.S. high school athletes, one out of every 30,000 to 50,000 dies annually from out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest. According to WebMD, among NCAA athletes, about one in 44,000 players dies from sudden cardiac complications. While quick response from first responders can minimize an individual’s chance of death, the American Heart Association emphasizes the importance of preventative screenings that review family history and the athlete’s personal medical history.

Arrhythmia, a condition that causes the heart to beat abnormally, is fairly common and, in most cases, is harmless, depending on the type. However, certain arrhythmias can lead to more serious problems, such as stroke. According to a study from the American Heart Association, intense physical training may cause an individual to be more prone to developing an arrhythmia. It is important for athletes to be diligent in seeking medical attention when they notice an irregular heartbeat to ensure that there is not a more serious cause.

High blood pressure is the most common cardiovascular condition seen in athletes. High blood pressure is not harmful to competing athletes, as long as it is being controlled through medication or lifestyle changes. However, if the problem goes uncontrolled and an athlete continues to train at an intense level, high blood pressure can lead to damage of the eyes, kidneys and heart.

“Heart problems in athletes are often unpredictable, but training, including ACLS certification, prepares first responders and healthcare professionals to handle these conditions,” Marks said. “Following ACLS protocols allows these professionals to provide the best possible care and ensure better outcomes for their patients.”

Medical professionals can access informational resources related to heart disease and other healthcare issues in HES’ online research library. Resources include educational articles, as well as information, trends and news related to healthcare certifications. To learn more, visit http://www.HealthEdSolutions.com.

Health Education Solutions (HES) is a leading provider of continuing education solutions for healthcare professionals. HES, a subsidiary of Nelnet Inc. (NYSE: NNI), offers ACLS and PALS courses, as well advanced first aid training and other healthcare courses, developed in partnership with medical faculty at Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska.
