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

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

Their CPR certification program, like all their lifesaving programs, are developed by a team of U.S. Board certified and licensed physicians who work to make sure every program imparts the skills users need to save lives.

AAA comments on success of Niche REITs

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack also says, People are tired of the same old salesman, guru routine. Where they are always asked to “pony up” for more cash that most people just don’t have.

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

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

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


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

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

New York Laser Aesthetics Group’s Promise to Our Clients

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

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

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

FRA: Now's the time to invest in timber

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

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


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

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

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

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

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