SAFE International Announces Toronto Women’s University Self Defense – Toronto, ON Self Defense

Toronto Self Defense, SAFE International Announces Toronto Women’s university Self Defense

Toronto, ON, July 12, 2012 - (Straight Line PR) - Toronto Self Defense, SAFE International Announces Toronto Women’s university Self Defense.

SAFE International ™ is the leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in Ontario. 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 university self defense parties in Toronto, ON. 

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 self defense for women in university 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 Toronto women’s university 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. This is very important as you don't want to terrify your clients right from the start. It is important to build rapport with your students and the results will be seen as the drills progress.

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 Toronto Women’s university Self Defense experience

SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 students since 1994. To contact SAFE International and Chris Roberts to schedule your Women’s University Self Defense, you can visit their main site at www.safeinternational.biz.

FRA claims Romania is increasingly Attractive to Ethical investors

The latest economic figures to come out of Romania show that the country’s forestry sector is bucking the overall trend for recession, by growing by more than 4 per cent.

Bainbridge Island, WA, July 13, 2012 - The latest economic figures to come out of Romania show that the country’s forestry sector is bucking the overall trend for recession, by growing by more than 4 per cent. Forestry Research Associates (FRA) claims that this news will attract more foreign investment into the forestry industry in Eastern Europe.

FRA, a research and analysis organization, is a keen advocate of sustainable forestry projects and believes that investing in forestry can be a great way of diversifying a portfolio. “Forestry has a low correlation with equity markets and can also be a good option to offset inflation,” stated FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins.

In the first quarter of 2012, Romania’s GDP fell slightly, indicating the country is in recession, following a period of growth in 2011. However, the figures released by the country’s Statistics Institute, show that the forestry industry grew by 4 per cent. The growth in the forestry market and the fact that most analysts believe that the current slump is just a blip, means that foreign investors are likely to remain interested in Romania.

“Ethical investments, such as investing in plantation and sustainable forestry projects all over the world, are proving much more popular following the global economic crisis.

“We believe that countries like Romania will begin to attract more and more investment from foreigners in the coming year or so,” added Mr Collins.

Bogdan Ion, Ernst & Young’s managing partner, told Romanian Business Insider: "We see more and more investors attracted by the renewable energy sector. More privatizations are planned in the future, encouraging investors worldwide to look to our country.”

FRA supports a number of forestry projects run by firms like Greenwood Management in Brazil and elsewhere. “Investing in plantations is a good way to gain something tangible in exchange for your cash and can also help to prevent deforestation,” concluded Collins.

Tom Mower Sr compliments Aaron Markuson on losing 30 pounds in 12 days

Aaron Markuson had people commenting on his weight loss on how unhealthy it is to lose 30 pounds in 12 days and this was what Tom Mower Sr. said about the weight loss.

Springville, UT, July 12, 2012 - Tom Mower Sr compliments Aaron Markuson on losing 30 pounds in 12 days. Aaron Markuson had people commenting on his weight loss on how unhealthy it is to lose 30 pounds in 12 days and this was what Tom Mower Sr. said about the weight loss. You are correct Aaron. Peoples advice is based on older weight loss theories and methods. Tom Mower Sr. says that with SiseLEAN and its biologically active peptides, polypeptices, serum proteins and micellar caseinates, they put weight loss into a new category to which you are now showing to be effective. Here is an easy example.

A weight loss meal replacement shake usually has a biological value (BV) for protein effectiveness. Tom Mower Sr. went on to say that most products, especially those using soy as one of the protein components have a low BV. BV in easy to understand terms is the protein that gets to the cell, now the protein you eat. This in turn causes the muscle, tissue and bone cells to signal for fat and carbs to fuel the activity the protein in the cell need to be utilized. If the protein has peptides and polypetides and serium proteins, micellar caseinates, they their stimulatory action is much greater than just crude denatured protein as comes from Whey proteins and isolates. Denaturing is the super heating of it to kill bacteria and pus, as whey has abundant amounts of. This denaturing means the natural structure is broken down to meaningless protein devoid of biological actives because they are decomposed.

Tom Mower Sr. says that SiseLEAN is not denatured and the harmful ingredients are removed through advanced high pressure multi-layered filtration and extraction systems. Tom Mower Sr. also says that SiseLEAN is full of actives, where soy and whey consist of decomposed proteins, which can be used by the liver to build but have little if any biological stimulation. So now that denaturing and actives is understood, here is how BV works. Tom Mower Sr. explained the higher the BV rating the greater the fat and carb burning demand is to use them up in the cell. Most meal replacements have a BV rating at about 80-100 BV. Tom Mower Sr. said he has seen one that was 112, but most are within the lower range. Tom Mower Sr. explained that this means in rough terms they would burn "X" amount of fat to "X" BV rating. SiseLEAN has a BV rating because of the purity of the biological extracts still intact of 282 BV. Tom Mower Sr. said so in an easy to understand way, it means SiseLEAN will burn about 2 /2 to 3 times as much fat and carbs as any other competitors product. That is why you are losing so much weight, being so healthy, having such little appetite and creating so much energy. In the end your rapid weight loss is achievable because of the extremely high BV rating of biologically active proteins and other ingredients that are "not denatured" in SiseLEAN and degraded and decomposed in almost all other products.

It is simple mass, with 3 times higher BV in SiseLEAN as with another product, it will burn about 3 times the fat, carbs and calories. This is a little long but gives you an answer that no other company probably knows and definitely would talk about because their ingredients in their formulas are almost all denatured.

Tom Mower Sr. also complimented on Aaron Markuson’s dedication to help everyone in the company by his willingness to show daily pictures of the morning weigh in scale pictures which is motivating more and more individuals worldwide. Aaron Markuson is extremely dedicated to helping people in Sisel and it is an honor to be working with him on a mission to help people change their lives with Sisel.

Dan Block Welcomes Aaron Markuson to the Sisel Knights Team

Dan Block says that he and Aaron Markuson have known each other for over 20 years.

Rockford, IL, July 12, 2012 - Dan Block welcomes Aaron Markuson to the Sisel Knights Team. Dan Block says that he and Aaron Markuson have known each other for over 20 years.

Dan Block says he is extremely excited to be working with Aaron Markuson since he knows how talented a salesman he is. Dan Block remembers being trained by Aaron Markuson in the 1990’s to do sales in the car stereo market. Aaron Markuson taught Dan how to build on going and lasting relationships with his customers and Dan Block credits much of his success to Aaron Markuson for teaching him those skills at such an early age. When Dan Block got involved in the mlm arena he tried to find Aaron Markuson to help build his team. About 2 years ago Dan ran into Aaron Markuson and his wife Sara in a store and realized that his wife Kim went to high school with Aaron’s wife Sara and that they both have daughters the same age. Aaron and Dan reconnected and rebuilt their relationships Aaron watched Dan as he built mlm sales teams and finally became interested in Sisel.

Aaron decided to try the products before he told people because he only can sell something that he believes in. Aaron Markuson lost 30 pounds in his first 12 days on Siselean and is 1000% behind Tom Mower Sr.’s mission on being and promoting toxin free products and extremely excited to be working with the whole child non for profit.

Aaron Markuson Loses 30 pounds in 12 days on the Sisel Weight Loss challenge

Aaron Markuson says that weight has always been a struggle even since his childhood and has weighed as much as 415 pounds.

Rockford, IL, July 12, 2012 - Aaron Markuson Loses 30 pounds in 12 days on the Sisel Weight Loss challenge. Aaron Markuson says that weight has always been a struggle even since his childhood and has weighed as much as 415 pounds.

Aaron Markuson married his wife Sara in 2000 they have a 7 year old daughter with another child on the way. It has done so much for Aaron in such a short amount of time that he is extremely motivated to help other people lose weight as well. Aaron Markuson was introduced to Sisel by Dan Block of team Sisel Knights several months ago but he was skeptical about network marketing and the weight loss products, but when he learned about Tom Mower and his mission on Toxin Free products, higher quality products, and Whole Child he decided to try it. After Aaron’s wife saw a comment on Dan Block’s facebook page about toxins in makeup she then commented about her makeup and how it was safer than others. Dan Block looked up her makeup line ingredients and found toxins in them linked to illnesses like cancer and posted 3rd party documentation on those ingredients. She then wanted more information. Aaron Markuson then contacted Dan Block and decided to get started with personal care products, makeup, and Siselean. Aaron Markuson weighed in at 396 pounds on July 1st 2012 and 12 days later he weighed in at 366 pounds. A lot of Aaron Markuson’s friends and family have been commenting that it isn’t safe to lose 30 pounds in 12 days.

This was Aaron Markuson’s reply,” 1) I am eating, quite a bit actually. I generally have 2-3 snacks a day like carrots, almonds, peanuts, bananas or apples etc. I also have a couple of shakes in between. Generally when I get home at night I have a large dinner like last night, I have about a 10oz chicken breast, grilled sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli and a huge salad with sesame ginger dressing. I even have a piece of dove dark chocolate as dessert! I am eating when I am hungry which is happening more often because of my increased metabolism and the fact that I am keeping my meals small. I DO NOT STARVE MYSELF. 2) My body is choosing how fast the weight is coming off. I am not telling it how much to lose it is telling me. I have more energy, am sleeping better and in general feel great. 3) I am exercising as well i.e. swimming and I even went on a bike ride with my daughter last night which is a miracle. In closing I would like to say this product works great and has made an incredible impact on myself and my family and friends in a very short period of time. I am sure that the amount of stress that I am re leaving off of my body far outweighs anything that can be said about the rapid weight loss. I will hit my target weight and that will not only increase my lifespan but also improve my quality of life. In the end what matters most to me is the time that I get to spend with my family and I want as much of it as possible!” As an added bonus Aaron Markuson is enrolling new distributors daily because of his high confidence in the company and the efficacy of Sisel’s products.

Custom Made Travel is a Sure Bet this Season

Vernelda Travel reveals why luxury private travel is so in demand.

New York, NY, July 12, 2012 - As summer heats up, many luxury travelers are headed off on holidays. A growing percentage of them, have booked their travel as a custom made travel itinerary. Custom Made 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. If there is more than one traveler, each individual can have their needs and wants catered to. With expert travel planning, everything can work together cohesively.

“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 true 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. Clients now want to see destinations their way”.

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 done: expertly designed, enriching, and hassle free”.

A Taste of Vietnam for Gourmet Lovers

The new Luxury Travel trip features a 12-day itinerary of Vietnam's most popular spots, with many special opportunities to discover and savor the surprisingly varied tastes of this fascinating land.

Hanoi, Vietnam, July 12, 2012 - The new Luxury Travel trip (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com ) features a 12-day itinerary of Vietnam's most popular spots, with many special opportunities to discover and savor the surprisingly varied tastes of this fascinating land.

Along with exploring new cultures, one of the great joys of travel is the discovery of new cuisine. Those unfamiliar with Vietnamese food are in for a treat, as the national cuisine is flavorful, colorful and extremely healthy.

North: Northern Vietnam has long been influenced by its proximity to China. As the only part of the country that experiences four seasons, many dishes are only available in season. Overall, the food tends to be milder and lighter than that found in the rest of Vietnam.

Central: The pundits claim that central cuisine is the most culturally authentic food in the country. Heavily influenced by the Imperial court cuisine of Hue, the food is generally spicy and well seasoned.

South: Southern cuisine is the most varied of the three. Rich in vegetables, rice and seafood, it has incorporated French, Cambodian and Thai influences into a style that is distinctively its own. It is more heavily seasoned and tropical, spicier and at times sweeter than northern food.

Luxury Travel's “A Taste of Vietnam” trip is designed for the traveler with limited time and an unlimited appetite for a culinary adventure.

The trip features a 12-day itinerary of Vietnam's most popular spots, with many special opportunities to discover and savor the surprisingly varied tastes of this fascinating land.

This culinary odyssey will take travelers from tasting the dishes of the North to the delicacies of Hue, down to the unsurpassed bounty of the Mekong Delta with its cinematic abundance of fruits and vegetables.

Gourmet lovers will experience the tangy flavor of cha ca (charcoal grilled fish), sample Vietnam's signature pho, become acquainted with infinite types of noodles and rice, and try nuoc mam (Vietnamese fish sauce).

“Our ultimate goal is to give our clients a food and wine experience that will last them a lifetime,” said Hung Nguyen, sales and marketing manager of Luxury Travel Company.

Along the way from North to South travelers will delight in a medley of elegant foods prepared to please the eye as well as the palate, including traditional Vietnamese fare and dishes influenced by international cuisine.

The food and tour is well planned, and travelers save precious time by flying or traveling by overnight train. Highlights include the wonders of Ha Long Bay, one of five World Heritage-listed sites in Vietnam, as well as shopping and a market visit to the capital city of Hanoi with its alluring Old Quarter.

Enjoy a Royal banquet dinner in this former Imperial Capital to enrich your experience in Hue, one of five World Cultural Heritage sites of Vietnam.

Travelers will also visit the picturesque and artsy port town of Hoi An, a favorite with many travelers, and the ever-vibrant Ho Chi Minh City on the bank of the Saigon River.

This trip is designed to discover the food, culture, sights and style of this unique country, combining local charm and luxuries from North to South Vietnam.

Center for Productive Longevity Organizing Events to Stimulate Entrepreneurship Among Baby Boomers

Meetings to be Held at Babson College, Northwestern University/Kellogg School, and University of Denver

Boulder, CO, July 11, 2012 - The Center for Productive Longevity (CPL), which serves as the bridge between people 55 and older and opportunities that enable them to continue in productive activities, is organizing three more meetings this fall in the “Spotlight on Entrepreneurship Opportunities for Baby Boomers” series. The meetings are designed to contribute to a national momentum for new-business creation, which enables Baby Boomers to remain productively engaged and also facilitates national economic growth.

The events will be held for people 50 and older at Babson College in Wellesley, MA on September 14, Northwestern University/Kellogg School of Management in Chicago on October 11, and the University of Denver on November 15. To register and view preliminary agendas, visit http://www.ctrpl.org/entrepreneurship-meeting/overview. Sponsors of upcoming meetings include AARP, CPL, and a number of other organizations.

Each of the meetings will have presentations by three successful entrepreneurs. The meetings will also include two rounds of interactive breakout sessions on topics relating to new-business creation and how to become an entrepreneur, including: risks and rewards of being an entrepreneur, strategies for identifying and selecting potential business opportunities, developing a business plan or business concept statement, and exploring funding support.

The first meeting in the series was held March 27 in Kansas City, MO at the Kauffman Foundation, a focal point for entrepreneurship in America, and attracted 95 participants. The written evaluations indicated that the meeting was extremely successful: 87 percent of the participants reported that it increased their awareness and understanding of the benefits and opportunities provided by entrepreneurship, and 97 percent stated they were now more likely to create a new business.

This interest in entrepreneurship as a career after retirement is reflected in national research as well, with increasingly more people 55 and older creating their own businesses. In fact, according to Kauffman Foundation research, the relative percentage of entrepreneurs has increased by almost seven percent for people 55-64 from 1996-2011, the largest increase among all age groups; by contrast, the percentage dropped about five percent for people 20-44.

The minimum age level is 50, and qualified people can register now for one of the following meetings at http://www.ctrpl.org/entrepreneurship-meeting/overview:

September 14, 2012: Babson College, Wellesley, MA

Babson College has been selected for each of the last ten years as having the best post-secondary school program on entrepreneurship in the country. Leonard Schlesinger, the President of Babson College, and Ralph Sorenson, past President of Babson College and founder of its Center on Entrepreneurship, will be the opening speakers.

October 11, 2012: Northwestern University/Kellogg School of Management, Chicago, IL

Dr. Paul Magelli, Senior Director, Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and James Shein, Professor of Entrepreneurship, Kellogg School, will make the opening presentations.

November 15, 2012: University of Denver, Denver, CO

The details for the Denver meeting are still being finalized, but will include Courtney Price, President of VentureQuest, and one other speaker. Go to http://www.ctrpl.org/november-15-2012 for the latest information.

The number of participants will be limited to 125 on a first-come basis. The cost of $35 per person covers inclusion of a spouse, if desired, and a post-meeting workshop on the “how-tos” of creating a new business. Payment to the Center for Productive Longevity must be received by the first of the month in which the meeting is held to confirm participation.

CPL has also initiated a national competition, the Later-Life Story Contest, for people 55 and older. The competition has two categories: Entrepreneur Success Stories and Inspirational Later-Life Stories. A panel of three independent judges will select one winner from each category who will receive $1,000 and a specially designed trophy. CPL will post the best stories on its website (ctrpl.org) under “Success Stories.” The contest deadline is August 31, and winners will be announced on October 1, 2012.

To submit a story, visit www.ctrpl.org/laterlifestorycontest and complete a submission form.
