Rabbit Hole Hay Knows the Importance of Location in Growing Farm Fresh Hay for Rabbits

Rabbit Hole Hay is a new online company located in the mountain valleys of Northern California and Southern Oregon that specializes in selling alfalfa hay and timothy hay for rabbits and other small animals. The company is situated in an ideal location for growing nutritious, quality hay that is delivered straight to the customer's front door.

Chico, CA, September 05, 2012 (Straight Line PR) -- Rabbit Hole Hay is an online company that sells farm fresh alfalfa hay and timothy hay for rabbits and other small animals. Rabbit Hole Hay is able to offer a nutritious, quality product because the company is located near an ideal environment for growing hay.

"We like to say the hay we sell is nursed to perfection by the sweet kiss of the Pacific Ocean and the tender care of our farmers," said Chief Executive Officer Michael K. Redman. "We are able to provide our customers some of the best hay around because it's grown in our own backyard."

The timothy hay and alfalfa hay for rabbits is grown in a valley location that is bounded by the Pacific Ocean on one side, and lush forests and mountain ranges on the other. ( http://www.rabbitholehay.com/why-location-is-important/ ) This area provides prime conditions for hay crops, because it offers cool night temperatures, limited rainfall, and low humidity. During the day, the alfalfa hay and timothy hay take in energy from the sun and fertile soil, which is turned into growth at night. This causes the hay to become more nutrient-rich per inch of growth than in warmer climates.

It's important that the location where the alfalfa hay and timothy hay is grown is a drier environment with low humidity and minimal rain to prevent the hay from molding. It also allows the hay to keep its natural green color.

"We value that we live in a place where the hay for rabbits we sell is grown in our own backyard," Redman said. "It allows us the opportunity to be sure the alfalfa hay and timothy hay we're selling is grown in an ideal environment, stored for freshness, packed with care, and ready to be sent to our customers and enjoyed by their small pet."

FRA welcomes The Campbell Group's purchase of Australia timber

A US timber investment manager is leading a buyout of a large amount of harvested timber in South Australia, in a move that has been welcomed by FRA.

Bainbridge Island, WA, September 04, 2012 - A US timber investment manager is leading a buyout of a large amount of harvested timber in South Australia, in a move that has been welcomed by Forestry Research Associates (FRA).


The research and analysis consultancy claims that the Campbell Group (TCG), a US-based investment management firm, is offering a good price for the timber that will be harvested in the region in the future.

South Australian government treasurer, Jack Snelling, said that the offer of the future timber investment attracted some very good offers from investors all over the world. Mr Snelling explained that although there were several good offers, TGC’s was the winner. He said, "TCG put forward the best proposal which included a very strong price."

TCG controls some three million acres of timberland around the world, making it one of the world’s largest timber investment companies. Its chairman, John Gilleland, said that it would remain committed to safeguarding the forestry industry in South Australia. He said, "We are very pleased to have secured the rights to manage what is one of the highest-quality timber plantations in Australasia."

The move underlines the ongoing demand for sustainably produced timber, according to FRA's analysis partner, Peter Collins. He said, "Here at FRA, we are keen to promote forestry investment – through buying up plantation land – to those who night be looking for a more tangible investment option in response to the economic crisis."

FRA claims that investing in plantations that are managed by a forestry management company, like Greenwood Management, for example, is a good option for people who want to try out timberland investment. "Investing in managed plantations means investors get all the rewards and benefits of a low-risk asset class, without the hassle or cost of having to buy their own plot of forest and manage it themselves," added Mr Collins.

Now is the time to Invest in Brazil, claims AAA

The analysts at alternative investment advocacy group AAA claim that this is the perfect time to invest in Brazil, with the economy still growing and major sporting events heading its way.

Boston, MA, September 04, 2012 - The analysts at alternative investment advocacy group, Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) claim that this is the perfect time to invest in Brazil, with the economy still growing and major sporting events heading its way.

“There are a million and one ways to invest in Brazil and cash in on the country’s impressive growth,” claimed AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson.

He said that Brazil is having an exciting period, with the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup due to be hosted in Rio and elsewhere in 2014 and 2016. As a result of these major events. The country is investing considerable cash into improving its infrastructure – so construction is booming.

Real estate is certainly an asset class that’s worth considering, according to Mr Johnson. Inner cities and beach resorts are set to grow in popularity with tourists who will be flocking to Brazil to enjoy the sport. Rio, in particular is likely to invest huge amounts in improving accommodation over the coming years as the Olympic Committee rated the city very poorly for accommodation and infrastructure – suggesting that there is serious room for growth.

Steel is a booming industry ins response to major infrastructure expansion – including airport construction and expansion as well as bridges, railways and roads. “ the steel industry needs charcoal to operate, “claimed Mr Johnson. He added, “going back a few years, they would have got their charcoal form the native rainforests but this is now frowned upon by the authorities and plantation timber tends top be used instead.

As a result of this, AAA claims that investing in plantations, which are sustainably managed by firms like Greenwood Management, may be a wise move and could generate some very healthy returns for investors. “It’s also very low risk", added Johnson.

Russian Born, US-Based Singer Irina is Set to Make her World Debut at Ello Music Festival in Moscow

Irina will perform a 4-song set including debut single “Something About You” COMPLETE with Free Online Webcast Live from Gorky Park

Los Angeles, CA, August 30, 2012 - Moscow native, US-based singer, songwriter and dancer Irina is preparing to make her debut international performance at the ELLO Music Festival in Moscow’s mecca for culture and leisure – Gorky Park. The festival will include a line up of Russia’s top stars, with Irina travelling all the way from the US to participate in the event. The performance will officially mark the launch of Irina’s international career where she will be performing a 4-song set to showcase her debut single ‘Something About You’. The festival takes place from 4pm - 9pm on September 8th and Irina’s spectacular performance will feature six LA-based dancers, New York-based rapper BK Brasco and Chinese violinist Analiza Ching. At the helm, managing Irina’s career is former President of Universal Music Russia, David Junk.

Born and raised in Moscow, Irina began working in the music industry as a songwriter for other Russian artists. Working with these other artists provided Irina the confidence she needed to reach out and launch her own career as an artist. Taking off for Los Angeles via Miami, Irina has made the USA her second home and the new base for her career. Working in the USA has given Irina the opportunity to work with talented producers such as Denis Ingoldsby, Mark Feist and WAX Ltd. Irina is currently in Los Angeles rehearsing with her team for the upcoming performance in her hometown, Moscow, for which 2012 will see the celebration of it’s 865th birthday. Gorky Park is one of Moscow’s most famous landmarks. First laid out in 1928 it was the first park of it’s kind and became the prototype for hundreds of others throughout the Soviet Union.

Joining Irina on stage in Moscow for her performance are six LA-based dancers who have danced with the likes of Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Pitbull, The Pussycat Dolls, Ciara and Christina Aguilera.

Brasco will be performing with Irina on the song “Feels So Good” as a featured artist. Hailed as New York’s most promising rappers, Brasco first burst to the forefront of the rap scene in the group, “Brooklyn”. They were discovered by Shakir Stuart, which landed the group a deal with Arista Records. Although they eventually disbanded, Brasco was given a platform to work with producers and songwriters such as Scott Stortch, Polow Da Don, Adonnis, Sean Garrett and others. The New York-based Brasco teamed up with an array of production and studio superstars, thus piquing the interest of Jay-Z and Interscope Records chairman, Jimmy Iovine. Without even a mixtape or album release, Iovine signed Brasco to Interscope Records. Later, Timbaland and Brasco were introduced and the bidding war for Brasco ensued, which resulted in Brasco signing to Timbaland’s label, Mosley Music Group.

Analiza Ching, an exciting new talent, comes from Southern China and will join Irina on stage for the empowering anthem “Catch My Tears”. Analiza was classically trained from the age of four and studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London. She has a unique style of combining music and dance. She has appeared with high profile personalities and at major events for both the UK Government and Foreign Ambassadors. Analiza has thrilled audiences at many of the world's major concerts, such as her solo performance at the Beatles’s 50th Anniversary Tribute Concert with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall; Gala Award ceremony at Monaco Film Festival in Monte Carlo and classical recitals at Windsor Castle for Prince Edward, the Princess Royal and other members of the Royal Family.

The Pussycat Dolls choreographer and co-creative director Michael “Mikey” Minden provided the routine for “Something About You”. Mikey has also previously created movement for Paris Hilton, Hilary Duff, Pink, Usher and many more. Mikey has also been the artistic director and choreographer for award shows all over the world including: The Emmy Awards, MTV VMA's, MTV Movie Awards, and the Billboard Awards. Irina’s upcoming show will feature additional choreography from Shawnette Heard. Shaped by her experiences working with the likes of Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner and others, Shawnette’s innovation as a director stems from her innate understanding of how to communicate story through arresting imagery, rhythm, and dynamic movement. Shawnette has choreographed performances for awards shows such as the 2000 Blockbuster Awards, 2001 American Music Awards and 2007 World Music Awards.

Denis Ingoldsby is a British producer who has worked with Irina at the legendary Sunset Sound studios in Hollywood on the songs “Feels So Good Ft. Brasco” and “Catch My Tears”. Denis is responsible for launching the careers of many artists across different genres of music, ranging from R&B with girl group Eternal who sold over 10 million records worldwide, to dubstep with his latest endeavor, Flux Pavilion.

Australian-born producer Mark Feist made his name working with artists such as Destiny’s Child (and later Beyoncé’s solo career), Celine Dion, Joss Stone, Wyclef Jean, John Legend, The Spice Girls and many more. Throughout his career, Mark has contributed to songs with sales in excess of 60 million records worldwide. Not only does Mark produce, write and arrange but he also plays many of the instruments that feature in his tracks.

Wax Ltd is the songwriting and production team of Wally Gagel and Xandy Barry who have worked with Rihanna, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson as well as Muse and The Rolling Stones. Wally and Xandy are based in Los Angeles.

David Junk, the former president of Universal Music Russia responsible for signing the multi-platinum Russian duo t.A.T.u. (All The Things She Said and Not Gonna Get Us), is now managing Irina’s career. After seeing huge success in Russia and Eastern Europe with t.A.T.u., David brought the band to the world market via Interscope Records where they went on to sell over 5 million records worldwide.

The ELLO Music Festival can be streamed online, live on the day of the event from www.YouTube.com/ELLO.

New Chicago Vegan Restaurant Healthy Diet Menu Featured at VeganRestaurantsChicago.net

Over the last few years healthy dining has become a very hot trend. Vegan Restaurants have stepped up to service this growing niche. When visiting the "Windy City," there are a number of Vegan Restaurants worth checking out.

Chicago, IL, August 30, 2012 (Straight Line PR) -- Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products. Over the past few years Vegan Restaurants have been growing very quickly to service this growing trend. Some of the top athletes in certain endurance sports such as the Ironman competition practice veganism.

Common vegan dishes include falafel, hummus, veggie burritos, veggie stir-fry, and pasta primavera. The preparation of these dishes is now being done by world class chefs who have mastered the art of working with ingredients such as tofu, tempeh, and seitan.

With vegan restaurants becoming ever more common in the greater Chicago area, the problem is no longer whether a hungry vegan can find a nice restaurant. The problem is now which vegan restaurant to choose. For example, who has the best prices? Who specializes in certain types of ethnic-style vegan dishes? And which place is the closest? How can vegans find this information, quickly and reliably? The new web site http://www.VeganRestaurantsChicago.net is designed specifically to answer those questions and more.

"We are huge fans of Vegan Cuisine," says Andres Reservus, owner of VeganRestaurantsChicago.net . "You have to taste great Vegan dishes to understand why this is the hottest trend in dining. Every month we feature one exciting menu and vegan restaurant in Chicago. We are thrilled by the feedback we have been receiving from our health conscious visitors."

Ecotech Institute Launches Hands-on Power Utility Technician Program

Aging Power Utility Workforce Requires New, Savvy Technicians

Denver, Colorado, August 29, 2012 - Ecotech Institute, the first and only college focused entirely on preparing America’s workforce for careers in renewable energy and sustainability, is now taking applications for its new two-year Power Utility Technician degree program focused on training power utility technicians. The program, which will launch in October, will help fill a need in the power utility sector as a growing number of power utility technicians are retiring from the field and highly trained employees are in demand. Ecotech has responded to this need by creating a practical program focused on the ever-changing power utility industry.

With input from subject matter experts who have more than 55 years of combined utility experience, Ecotech designed its Power Utility Technician program to prepare graduates for careers in power generation, with specialization in power plant operations and maintenance. Students will receive immersive and hands-on training that focuses on providing a solid grounding in, and a comprehensive understanding of, electric utility distribution systems, grid and smart grid.

“We are excited about the applicability and cutting-edge nature of this program and are thankful to industry gurus Dan Sachse and Mark Fox for sharing their expertise,” says Michael Seifert, president of Ecotech Institute. “Demand is at an all-time high for people who understand the grid and the future of power utilities and we look forward to leading the way in preparing students for jobs in this area.”

Upon successful completion of the Power Utility Technician program, students will be prepared to:

* Apply the fundamentals of power generation, so they can operate and maintain power plants

* Use their knowledge of high voltage systems to maintain and operate grid infrastructure, smart grids, and distribution systems

* Use the fundamentals of electrical theory and related knowledge to design, build, repair, calibrate and modify electrical components, circuitry, controls and machinery

* Meet industry standards within the electrical engineering, power production and distribution fields

Ecotech’s comprehensive Power Utility Technician program offers a balanced education of soft skills (communication, workplace etiquette), and math and science basics and technology skills, but the educational emphasis is on hands-on, practical training in modern labs.

Ecotech Institute’s website outlines each of its programs to help answer common questions such as, “Is this program right for me?”, “What will I learn?” and “Why Ecotech?” In addition to offering curriculum information, the site explains what to expect from the program, which skill sets are most desirable for this field of study, and what careers are available in cleantech industries.

With the addition of the Power Utility Technician program, Ecotech Institute, which is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, offers six highly practical associate’s degree programs that provide graduates with skills valued by today’s alternative renewable energy employers.

Ecotech’s next round of classes begins in October and applications are always accepted.

In addition to the Power Utility program, Ecotech Institute offers the following:

* Solar Energy Technology, Associate of Applied Science

* Wind Energy Technology, Associate of Applied Science

* Renewable Energy Technology, Associate of Applied Science

* Energy Efficiency Program, Associate of Applied Science

* Electrical Energy Technology, Associate of Applied Science

Launched in April 2010 in Denver, Colorado, the college offers five associate’s degrees designed by experts in the industry for people seeking careers in the emerging cleantech economy.
