Course Provided New Ways of Looking at Sustainability to U.S. and International Students
Denver, Colorado, August 19, 2013 – Descriptions such as “inspiring” and “eye-opening” were included in student feedback from Ecotech Institute’s recent free online “Introduction to Sustainability” course.
Students came from “all walks of life and from around the globe,” according to Kyle Crider, Ecotech Institute’s Program Chair and Manager of Environmental Operations, who led the course. There was a diverse mix of men and women in the class, ranging in educational background from high school to Ph.D., about half of whom had never taken an online course before.
“Many participants were so engaged that they actually requested that the class continue beyond the ten weeks,” said Crider. The course was designed to help participants think critically about environmental sustainability and how it impacts people at all levels, from corporate behavior to personal lives.
The course was Ecotech Institute’s first “massive online open course” (MOOC) through the Canvas Network, a popular way for educational institutions to offer free courses to the public. Based in Aurora, Colorado, Ecotech Institute is the only college entirely focused on sustainability-related job training.
The course explored various definitions of sustainability used by governments, businesses and individuals to address environmental, societal and economic problems around the world. In addition, students learned ways to apply sustainable concepts in their own lives, including the capstone project of writing their own sustainability-focused mission, vision and goals.
Some of the feedback includes:
“I'll always remember it as the course that gave me the push I needed in deciding to continue study in a master’s program in Sustainability.”
“I learned a lot, removed some general misconceptions about sustainability, and am truly inspired to continue learning and reading more about these topics. Plus, I am taking actions to change my personal habits.”
“It was a much needed eye opener and has inspired me to open a consulting business (which I did last week) and have a little fun helping people save themselves...well, from themselves!“
MOOC instructor Crider continued, “I was invigorated by the engagement and passion that came from the course attendees and we were able to explore a wide variety of critical topics together. The diverse student population supports the fact that regardless of our differences we all live on the same planet and collectively need to play our part.”
Due to the overwhelming positive feedback, Ecotech Institute plans to offer future MOOC courses. The school will provide updates on future courses through its Facebook page, which users can “like” to access. For more information on Ecotech Institute visit www.ecotechinstitute.com.

As 2013 cruises in on an unprecedented rise in consumer information products and social media consumption/usage, there are a few hardcore market observations that must be acknowledged— and, some pretty exciting implications to note.
Sullivan, MO, August 15, 2013 - As 2013 cruises in on an unprecedented rise in consumer information products and social media consumption/usage, there are a few hardcore market observations that must be acknowledged— and, some pretty exciting implications to note.
1. As is, the affiliate product launch model will give way to a more personal relationship-based model in 2013.
2. The word at ground level is that (as typical in human nature) there'll be an increase in demand for done-for-you services/products.
3. The emergence of new social media platforms will decrease, as we saw an explosion of these events between 2011 and 2012. Instead, there will be an explosion of offerings in closely related markets (think Google+ Hangouts).
4. Even free-traffic wizards will feel a slight sting as paid traffic increasingly becomes more of a reality. It can still be done— it just won't be as easy/relevant as before.
5. Video marketing will become even more popular than it already is. And, if anything ever happened at Youtube (think: Netflix), there are so many "under-explored" video platforms waiting with open doors for the new traffic.
6.Sorry, product launches will continue to be a pain.
Now for those dynamic Implications I promised:
If you speak to individuals, such as yourself, who were involved in a particular movement— whether it be the super affiliate market of today, civil rights of the 60's, or the race to the moon- they'll tell you that it was hard to see exactly how important the movement was when they were on the verge of the new dawn…
If 2013 calls for building personal relationships with clients and partners, it sweeps open the door for you to gain brand traction in new social and economic circles.
This brand traction will bring about short and long-term sustainability in the shifting market!
Old and New Clients will be willing to put their dollars behind their demand for these premium services and products. And for good reason— after all, they are seeking the best. It's up to you (and your partners, if you'd like) to set the standard.
As remnants of market events up through 2012 fades away, early adopters are presented with an exciting opportunity in 2013 to "design" a new product launch market. Without the pain of yesterday. Here's how: http://www.arpallstars.com
This is a powerful program that will help you "re-fire" your brand in a dynamic way to gain/maintain position continuity early on in the game.
Our program is designed to energize and expand an already healthy revenue portfolio by:
* Adding an additional (significant) income stream to your portfolio
* Enhancing client/partner acquisition and/or adding a new campaign
* Incorporating the latest and greatest web tools and enhancing audience reach
* Getting and/or keeping partners/clients excited about you and your brand
* Enhancing synergistic relationships between you and your partners In addition, it provides:
* An incentive cycle to encourage purchase upgrades
* A paradigm shift for those who want to improve revenue health
* Early adoption long-term benefits and exciting implications
* A dynamic social platform for business professionals
In plain English, you'll create sustainability for your brand, gain another significant income model and have fun doing it. Become an early market leader and lead on!
To see the program in action, please contact me at (573) 205-5880 or, email askmichaelbeal@gmail.com
My sincere thanks for your time and attention and l look forward to speaking with you.

Earlier this year Jump Rope Jack introduced a new, premier Cyclone Jump Rope Cable. This is not like any other jump rope on the market.
Tampa, FL, August 17, 2013 – Earlier this year Jump Rope Jack introduced a new, premier Cyclone Jump Rope Cable. This is not like any other jump rope on the market. It incorporates an innovative design with lightweight materials to make jumping rope an easy and portable fitness tool. Thus, it’s comes as no surprise that this high-caliber product has attracted a lot of attention from consumers, including both individuals and fitness clubs.
To get the best fitness results from using the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable, it’s important to know how to properly use the equipment. As Jump Rope Jack director Ms. Carr explains: “Most of us remember jumping rope back in our school days for fun. Now jumping rope is becoming more and more popular in workouts to boost fitness and stamina; not to mention lose weight. When you know how to properly use the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable, you can expect great results!”
Often people assume that there isn’t much technique involved in jumping rope. However, the better the technique, the better the results. Using the correct jumping method is essential to avoiding unnecessary injuries and ensuring the best fitness outcomes each workout. As Ms. Carr explains: “Jumping rope correctly involves small jumps. This allows you to make more rotations quickly, further enhancing your workout. You should always jump with the balls of your feet, without your heels touching the ground, and remember to bend your knees slightly.”
Jumping rope is a fluid motion, so it’s important to try and relax the body when exercising with the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable. Jumping flat-footed can lead to injury because it impacts the knees when landing. Long-term, this can damage joints. Using the correct jumping technique will enhance endurance and significantly improve aerobic fitness.
The fact that the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable is fully adjustable makes it easy to customize this rope to suit any height, making it ideal for children and adults alike. Available exclusively from Amazon.com and right here is a Special Coupon for 35% off for a short time. You can click the link or just go to www.JumpRopeJack.com/Coupon to download your coupon. This fine quality jump rope is great value for money and the perfect way to stay fit and active.

Prospective students can now enroll in Medical Assisting, Financial Support Services, or Security Guard programs at the Amherst, Buffalo and Orchard Park locations
Buffalo, NY, August 15, 2013 – Bryant & Stratton College announced today the addition of two new program offerings and the expansion of one degree program in the Western New York area. All three campuses in the area, located in Amherst, Buffalo, and Orchard Park, will offer the College’s Associate of Applied Science Degree in Medical Assisting, Associate of Applied Science Degree in Financial Support Services and a Security Guard certificate program.
“We are very excited to be able to offer these programs at all three of our area campuses. Our mission is to provide outcomes-based education to individuals who want to start, grow or change their careers. These new programs help us bring that mission to more of the Western New York community,” said Paul Bahr, Director of the Western New York Campuses of Bryant & Stratton College.
Information events will be held for all three programs. More details about the events and the degrees are below.
AAS Medical Assisting
Individuals interested in the medical assistant field will find growing job prospects. The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook estimates a 31 percent increase in employment of medical assistants between 2010 and 2020. This growth and the success of programs at the Southtowns and Buffalo campuses have spurred the decision to offer the degree program at the Amherst campus as well. Students in the Medical Assisting program participate in classroom and laboratory activities that include typing/transcription, communications, taking vital signs, microscopy and vision testing. Upon graduation, students must be able to complete the necessary external performance objectives as set forth by the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA). There will be an informational event on August 19 at the Amherst campus, for those individuals interested in enrolling in classes or learning more about internship and job placement opportunities. The event will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and is open to the public. A complimentary dinner will be provided during the event. The Bryant & Stratton website also includes more information about the medical assisting degree.
AAS Financial Support Services
Individuals interested in finding positions as a finance service representative, a customer service representative, a billing and posting clerk, a brokerage clerk, a loan processor, or a banking specialist should consider enrolling in the AAS Financial Support Services degree. Many of these career fields are predicted to grow by 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook. In the degree program, students will learn how to process client financial transactions, generate reports that support client needs, judge appropriate ethical behaviors that follow the laws and regulations applicable to the financial services industry and formulate useful solutions to clients' financial and business related needs. There will be an informational event on August 27 at the campus located in Orchard Park for those individuals interested in enrolling in classes or learning more about internship and job placement opportunities. The event will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and is open to the public. More information about the financial support services degree can also be found here.
Security Guard Certificate
There are two Security Guard certification courses now available through the Bryant & Stratton College Western New York campuses. The first is an eight-hour course required by New York State as the first step in obtaining a security guard card from the New York State Department of State. Topics covered in this course include the role of security guard, legal powers and limitations, emergency situations, communications and public relations, access control, and ethics and conduct. The passing of an examination is required for successful completion of this course. Individuals interested in becoming a security guard are required to complete this pre-assignment training class only once in their career.
The second is a 16-hour course that must be completed within 90 days of employment as a security guard. The course provides the student with detailed information on the duties and responsibilities of a security guard. Topics covered in this course include the role of the security guard, legal powers and limitations, emergency situations, communications and public relations, access control, ethics and conduct, incident command system, and terrorism. The passing of an examination is required for successful completion of this course.
There will be an informational event about both courses on September 10 at the Buffalo campus for those interested in enrolling in the course or learning more about job opportunities. The event will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and is open to the public.

When it comes to fitness, concentration, coordination, balance and total body awareness, double-unders are the ultimate workout tool.
Tampa, FL, Aug 15, 2013 – When it comes to fitness, concentration, coordination, balance and total body awareness, double-unders are the ultimate workout tool. In order to achieve a high double-under score they must be executed with elevated intensity and without error. Jump Rope Jack, successful distributors of the highly popular Cyclone Jump Rope Cable, has launched a new training video and ebook the promises to help individuals improve their double-unders techniques.
To master double-unders, it’s important to learn how to properly control the rope. This allows for better coordination of wrist whipping and jumping. Certainly achieving two passes per jump instead of one is hard work to start with. Although using the right equipment and proper technique makes this high energy workout much easier.
The Cyclone Jump Rope Cable recently released by Jump Rope Jack has been specifically designed with double-unders in mind. The lightweight cable and strong handles makes it easy to gain the momentum and rhythm needed to easily achieve double-unders.
For satisfied Jump Rope Jack customers like Amy, this jump rope is ideal for her double-unders workout: “I love this rope. It improved my double-unders so much! I can now do 50 unbroken! Highly recommend this to anyone that crossfits or really anyone that wants a great cardio workout”.
For those individuals that haven’t used a jump rope in some time or need some extra tips for coordination, the free training video and ebook are ideal for teaching the correct double-unders technique. Jump Rope Jack customer Ms. Adams has found the training material very beneficial: “This jump rope is great. I love how light it is. It took me a few times to get the hang of it but once I watched the instructional videos I got it no problem. I would recommend this rope.”
Jump Rope Jack customers can now purchase the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable and receive a free training video and ebook at a special 35% discount using an exclusive COUPON CODE. This is a great opportunity not only to enhance overall fitness, but also to improve concentration, coordination and energy levels.

The Cyclone Jump Rope Cable is a new product from Jump Rope Jack, a company dedicated to health and fitness.
Tampa, FL, Aug 15, 2013 – The Cyclone Jump Rope Cable is a new product from Jump Rope Jack, a company dedicated to health and fitness. Released earlier this year, these jump ropes are slim, lightweight and portable. The clever design with adjustable cable length and strong handles ensures that the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable can be used by anyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Using this high quality jump rope is the perfect way to cleanse the body of toxins and stay fit and healthy.
Many people are unaware of the importance of the lymphatic system and how to properly support this vital body function. The lymphatic system is a specialized network of lymph vessels that transports lymph, a colorless fluid containing white blood cells. Lymph is carried throughout the body to eliminate waste, toxins and other undesirable elements. The lymphatic system is essentially a pathway to help the immune system stay healthy and safeguard against disease and premature aging.
A strong lymphatic system supports vitality and well-being. However, the problem is that many people have an under-functioning lymphatic system. This is because unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump and relies on exercise to work properly. Aerobic exercise is perfect for optimizing lymphatic performance.
Regularly using the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable is an excellent way to cleanse and detoxify the body. Exercising with the jump rope immediately boosts the circulation of lymph throughout the body, removing toxins and purifying the body. It only takes 5 minutes a day of using the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable to help support a strong lymphatic system and a healthy body.
For a limited time, customers can purchase the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable at a discount rate using an exclusive COUPON CODE. Just click on COUPON CODE. With a LIFE-TIME money back guarantee, customers can rest assured that this product is top quality; otherwise they can expect a full refund. Taking better care of the body can be as simple as using the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable daily.

Six years after her highly praised album, "The Shape of Things", the release of two singles, and a recent 5-week tour in Europe, Sheila Swift is ready to release her much anticipated EP, "The Striving is Over".
Los Angeles, CA, August 13, 2013 - Six years after her highly praised album, "The Shape of Things", the release of two singles, and a recent 5-week tour in Europe, Sheila Swift is ready to release her much anticipated EP, "The Striving is Over". In this new EP, Sheila proves that she is not just a one trick pony coming from "Daisy", but a well-rounded, all natural musical artist.
"The Striving is Over", is Sheila Swift's most personal album yet. The EP presents three original tracks by Swift, written throughout her life that have been long waiting to be released. The musically talented songwriter uncovers herself in this album, presenting songs inspired during personal life experiences. In her EP, each track delivers its own uplifting positive message.
This album holds themes revolving around life. The songs in the album cover themes such as tension in marital life, letting go of the past and moving forward, while remembering about the good in life and reconnecting to one's own roots. Sheila Swift proves her artistic creativity by adding a natural flow in the order of tracks in "The Striving is Over". Track after track, the three song EP tells a story. From the first track to the last, the emotional and powerful lyrics, that Sheila's vocals give life to, depict defining moments for her.
In "Stay", the beautiful, acoustic guitar solos build while harmonizing with Swift's powerful vocals. There is no doubt her southern roots are portrayed in this EP. Swift intertwines a touch of arousing country with rock into both other tracks, "Let Go" and "Home". It is in both tracks where Swift releases positive and inspiring messages to her listeners. Lyrics such as, "you got to let it go", speaking of the past, Sheila encourages moving forward in life. Sheila depicts fond memories of the south in "Home”, a reminiscence of her life growing up in the south, Sheila sings, "take me home". Each track with its very own personal touch and artistic expression, Sheila portrays her love for music and life.
Following "The Striving is Over", Sheila Swift has more musical endeavors up her sleeve with a vinyl album release by the end of the year.
Sheila Swift has evolved into a fully-fledged rock singer, largely leaving behind the pop-rock leanings of her previous work in favor of a more pure rock sound which shines through on the new material. Sheila played at the South By Southwest Music Festival, in Austin, Texas, as well as a showcase at House of Blues Houston and has finished a 5 week European tour in Germany and the Netherlands, with guitarist Ben Jarrad, where ecstatic fans described her as a mix of Gwen Stefani and Neil Young. A multi-talented artist, Sheila also incorporates her passion for the arts in her music.

Designed by faculty, ExamSoft’s latest release sets the standard for ease-of-use, when it comes to creating, delivering, and analyzing embedded assessments to help every student with direct, real-time evidence of learning.
Dallas, Texas, August 14, 2013 – As students and the accreditation bodies that regulate colleges and universities demand direct-evidence of student learning, being able to connect learning outcomes to assessments is increasingly important. ExamSoft, the leading provider of intelligent embedded assessment solutions, today announced updates to its platform that will help faculty members and institutions get information in real time and intervene earlier with students. Purpose built for faculty, the new release offers simpler navigation, streamlined question creation, the ability to blueprint exams by learning outcome, and easier student management and report creation.
“Every faculty member wants to better understand his or her students’ strengths and weaknesses and measure how well they are grasping key concepts. But, without the right support technology, using assessment to do that can be tedious,” said Patrick Chadd, Manager?of Academic Systems and Educational Technology at Rowan University’s?School of Osteopathic Medicine. “When we first started using ExamSoft our ability to provide students timely feedback greatly improved. We are excited that the updates to the platform will help us create, deliver, and evaluate assessments more easily and give us unprecedented access to assessment data to connect students to their academics in even more meaningful ways.”
Well-thought out assessments can be powerful instruments. By blueprinting assessments to match key learning objectives faculty members can determine what has or has not been mastered by students. Additionally, robust assessment data helps evaluate curriculum, instruction, and the assessment itself. The enhancements in the latest release from ExamSoft facilitate an easier implementation of these processes. Individuals interested in how the platform works can visit the ExamSoft website.
ExamSoft worked closely with faculty members throughout the entire development process including them in focus group studies, conducting hundreds of one-on-one interviews, and having faculty work directly with user design experts to create vastly simplified and streamlined process. Improvements to the assessment solution include:
* Simpler navigation
- An improved workflow that brings all system aspects to one screen;
- One-screen question creation and faster import tools to build a question database for entire courses, departments, or colleges;

“Access to actionable outcomes data and insights is important to faculty members. But, the last thing they need is another cumbersome piece of technology that eats up time. The enhancements included in this release will help faculty get to the most valuable data – data that’s often buried in answer sheets that are thrown away after grades are recorded – and do so in less time,” said Daniel Muzquiz, Chief Executive Officer of ExamSoft. “Everyone is talking about big data today, but big data doesn’t mean anything if it is not relevant, timely, and a simple click away from faculty fingertips. ExamSoft gives faculty access to smart data to support data driven decisions and to help better engage students in their own learning.”
This initial round of updates is available to customers now. Current customers can upgrade at no extra cost. For more information about these updates or to learn more about ExamSoft visit http://www.examsoft.com.

When Jump Rope Jack launched the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable, distributer Ms. Carr wanted to do more than simply help the fit become more fit.
Tampa, FL, Aug 13, 2013 – When Jump Rope Jack launched the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable, distributer Ms. Carr wanted to do more than simply help the fit become more fit. Recognizing the growing problem of childhood obesity, Ms. Carr wanted to offer children and adolescents a fun and practical way to get active and healthy. Ms. Carr believes that the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable is the ideal fitness tool to achieve this.
Ms. Carr explains: “Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identify 17% of all American children and adolescents as obese. This is triple the figure compared with the previous generation. With a growing reliance on fast foods and prolonged inactivity, overweight and obese children are becoming more prevalent. These children are highly susceptible to developing type 2 diabetes, plus other health problems.”
The sad fact is that obese children risk premature mortality unless they can lose weight and get healthy. The Cyclone Jump Rope Cable is fully adjustable, making it easy to modify the length based on height. Sold with a lifetime guarantee, this indoor jump rope is perfect for aerobic exercise.
Older generations have fond memories of playing jump rope at school or at home with friends, and Ms. Carr would like to see more children enjoying this fun, social fitness activity. The Cyclone Jump Rope Cable also comes with a free video and eBook to teach double-unders. Kids can have great fun challenging each other’s double-under scores and lose weight at the same time.
Jump Rope Jack customer Michael purchased the Cyclone Jump Rope Cable for his seven nieces aged between 16 and 5. Michael describes the product as a “FUN way for kids to spend time together! Just don't tell them they are getting in better shape!”
For a short time only, Jump Rope Jack is offering a COUPON for an exclusive 35% discount on the already reduced retail price. This is a great opportunity to give children a quality gift that will improve their fitness and overall well-being.
