Flag Connections Offers New Product to Honor Soldiers

In hopes of helping the families of fallen soldiers memorialize their loved ones, Flag Connections announces the sale of its Presidential Flag and Medal Display Case.

Deer Park, NY, August 05, 2011 - In hopes of helping the families of fallen soldiers memorialize their loved ones, Flag Connections announces the sale of its Presidential Flag and Medal Display Case.

This unique item combines a triangular top section, designed to hold a memorial burial flag, with a lower horizontal display case area. The flag portion of the case can accommodate a 5-foot by 9.5-foot flag. Customers have the option to have the the Great Seal of the United States embossed in the glass.

The lower display area is outfitted with Velcro to safely attach medals without damaging them. At their option, customers can add a personalized engraved nameplate with up to five lines of text to record the names and ranks of veterans.

The Presidential Flag and Medal Display Case from Flag Creations is made from solid wood and produced in the United States. Rather than using plexiglass, the case comes with real, beveled glass and has an inconspicuous magnetic closure. Measuring 22.25 inches wide by 11 inches high by 3.125 inches deep, the case is equipped with mounting hardware, so it is ready to display anywhere in homes or public buildings.

The Presidential Flag and Medal Case helps preserve the memories of veterans for generations to come, making it the ultimate tribute to deceased loved ones.

Said one customer, who wished to remain antonymous, "My father passed away. He was a Veteran of the Korean War. When we were going through all of his belongings, we stumbled upon a box with all of his military medals and awards. In his memory, we decided to buy several...flag and award display cases. Although he is no longer around to see these memories nicely displayed, his stories and his proud service to our country will certainly be passed on to his grandchildren and great grandchildren."

T-Steel Top of the table in its Product Class

Astra Mining, an Australian diversified mining company, has released new technical and economic data for its revolutionary T-Steel product.

North Adelaide, SA, August 05, 2011 - T-Steel types range from structural steel (T1) through to premium grade, high category, specialised steels (T9).

Astra Mining CEO Dr Jaydeep Biswas says the T-Steel range consists of premium category steels within specific steel families that have a demonstrated price-to-performance advantage over other steel products.

“One of the most important factors in the implementation of the T-Steel technology is that factories which cannot afford multi-billion dollar investments in new equipment are able to manufacture higher quality steels using existing factory infrastructure with relatively minor capital investment,” Dr Biswas says.

“These average factories are therefore able to enter markets where they can sell a premium category steel, for example T5, and increase their sales and hence profits.”

Astra Steelworks Ltd, which is part of the Astra Mining group, is planning to start the production of high-quality steels based on highly specialized processes and special alloying technologies invented over a 30-year period in Hungary.

The end product, T-Steel, has numerous advantages over the production of regular steel types including substantial yield savings, a reduction in alloys used, significant savings in energy used and advanced properties when compared to most HSLA steels.

Astra’s managing director, Silvana De Cianni, says the viability of the T-Steel technology is underpinned by the numerous industrial applications of the steels produced.

“These applications include low carbon content stainless steels, non-alloyed construction steels, case hardened alloyed steels and ball bearing steels,” Ms De Cianni says.

“As an example there are a number of top German steel mills which produce rails for various rail systems and sell these at a premium price.

“Comparable quality rails can be produced by the T-Steel process with a lower grade steel through a less prestigious factory, say in Hungary, and sold at a similar premium.”

Astra Mining’s global portfolio includes gold and tin interests in Southeast Asia and southern India, coal mines in Australia and Africa, iron ore in India and Africa, and the production of the high-strength T-Steel technology in Hungary.

Astra has also confirmed its plans to list on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange before the 31st of August or soon thereafter.

Travel Lightly This Summer. Pilgrim’s Tales Adventure Books are Now on Amazon Kindle

Ready for travel adventure? Brandon Wilson's edge-of-your-seat travel adventure books are now also available from Amazon.com Kindle. This includes his newest award-winner, Over the Top & Back Again: Hiking X the Alps. Lace up your boots and head out!

Paia, HI, August 04, 2011 - Pilgrim’s Tales, a travel publisher based in Hawaii, is proud to announce that Brandon Wilson’s four travel adventure books are now also available from Amazon.com on Kindle.

One reoccurring theme in all of Wilson’s books is that ordinary people can conquer seemingly extraordinary challenges and his latest book describes a prime example.

Over the Top & Back Again: Hiking X the Alps chronicles the ups and downs of an intrepid midlife couple who dig deep to thru-hike across eight countries on the daunting Via Alpina. Besides promising total immersion into Alpine life, it means climbing the equivalent of 12 Mt. Everests and facing their greatest fears. Whether you dream of making this journey–-or are a fan of schadenfreude—you’ll savor this empowering, humorous, wildly subversive tale. Includes illustrations by Ken Plumb and photos/maps by the author. 2010 Book of the Year Bronze Award winner, ForeWord Reviews.

Other books in Wilson’s true-adventure travel series include Along the Templar Trail , named 2009 Best Travel Book by the prestigious Society of American Travel Writers. Two modern-day pilgrims discover timeless truths when they embark upon the ultimate challenge—to hike the Templar Trail across 11 countries to Jerusalem. Throwing themselves out into the universe with bad maps, blisters, but plenty of optimism, they face age-old challenges in search of adventure, life’s meaning and lasting peace. Even today, there’s nothing like a little war to shake your strongest resolve. Includes 44 photos and maps by the author. A German edition will be published in late 2011.

Wilson is also the author of Dead Men Don't Leave Tips: Adventures X Africa . After their overland dream safari from London to Cape Town turns into a nightmare, a honeymooning couple set off alone to discover Africa’s heart and soul. Misadventure is their constant companion as they cross the Sahara, climb Kilimanjaro, whitewater raft the Zambezi, hunt dik-dik with Pygmies, stalk mountain gorillas, and hop a gun-run through war torn Mozambique. This darkly humorous travel adventure offers sage advice about traveling with partners—while providing an “un-sanitized for your protection” look at a journey into Africa’s wildest unknown. Includes photos by the author.

Yak Butter Blues is Wilson’s debut book and an IPPY Award winner. Join him, his wife and their Tibetan horse, as they become the first Western couple to hike an ancient path from Lhasa, Tibet to Kathmandu. Walk beside them as they face lung-searing altitudes, slow starvation, blizzards, bureaucracy and bullets. But it’s not all pain and peril. Discover the kindness of strangers. Then witness a culture teetering on the edge of extinction. Little could prepare them for this ultimate test of resolve, faith... and very survival. Includes photos by the author. A new Spanish Kindle edition, Yak Butter Blues: Una Caminata de Fe por El Tibet, is also available.

Brandon Wilson is a member of The Explorers Club and a Lowell Thomas Gold Award-winner.

Online Gaming and Entertainment Company Eyes off Indian Growth Market

Listed online gaming and entertainment company 2UP Gaming PLC (2GM:GR) are seeking to secure partnership deals with leaders in the Indian gaming industry to further globalise their gaming products.

London, UK, August 04, 2011 - Company executives will be travelling to the south Asian sub-continent next month to speak with a number of potential partners to gain access to one of the world’s fastest growing markets.

A recent Media & Entertainment Consulting Network (MECN) Online Gambling Trends report identified India and Asia as the regions to watch for fast growth in their markets, including a surge of online gambling in India.

According to the report the betting market in India has witnessed exponential growth from an estimated US$60 billion in 2009.

Current research shows that usage of the internet in India has grown 20 times larger in the past five years.

2UP recently finalised deals with Asian pool betting giant ToteDaddy for the launch of their gaming products on ToteDaddy’s website, and are now looking at Indian online gaming as their next market to target.

Managing director Peter Bentley says forming relationships with gaming industry leaders such as India will allow for 2UP’s range of popular gaming and wagering products to be made available to a broader market.

“Creating a partnership with Indian gaming leaders will further encourage a strong base for worldwide membership, providing 2UP with immediate high-traffic exposure to the global online gaming market,” Mr Bentley says.

“Online gambling participant numbers are rapidly increasing and we plan for 2UP to develop a high status in the online gaming arena on an international level.

“India is the largest region with the biggest growth potential for online gambling and it will be exciting to get amongst this increasingly popular market.”

Mr Bentley says the gaming market in India is successfully establishing itself on the international online gaming stage.

“As a result of the rapid increase of internet access and usage in the region, the online gaming market in India increasing exponentially,” Mr Bentley says.

“India’s gaming industry is booming with a base of over 100 million internet users and 41 percent of them regularly accessing gambling websites.

“With their broadband technology still behind the rest of the world, it allows for the industry to increase even more as their access improves.”

The core focus of 2UP is the coin toss game, a game that is played in most countries around the world where players make a call on whether two coins being tossed in the air will fall as two tails or two heads. A correct call wins.

This will be underpinned by other unique and established gaming and wagering options to be released as part of its growth plans.

Lake Success, NY, August 02, 2011 - "The longstanding but little-used authority of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to exclude from participation in any federal health care program, such as Medicare, any officer or managing employee of a health related entity that has been convicted of certain legal offenses, should now be top-of-mind for all general managers, business managers, administrators and directors of today’s health care facilities," says Patrick Formato, a partner at Abrams, Fensterman, Fensterman, Eisman, Greenberg, Formato & Einiger, LLP (Abrams Fensterman).

Reflecting on his recent participation at June’s Annual Meeting of the American Health Lawyers Association, Formato is reaching out to his clients with a stern warning: "The OIG is becoming increasingly aggressive in targeting owners, managers and boards of sanctioned health care facilities. These individuals must keep a finger on the pulse of what is going on in every phase of their organization and they must be proactive about reporting their concerns."

Formato notes that exclusions under section 1128 (b) (15) of the Social Security Act are based upon the individual’s role or interest in a company that is excluded or is convicted of certain offenses. Individuals who have an ownership or a control interest in a sanctioned entity may be excluded if they knew or should have known of the conduct that led to the sanction. Officers and managing employees may be excluded based solely on their position within the entity.

"There is a higher standard for exclusion of an owner,"Formato points out. "The relevant statute requires evidence that the owner knew or should have known of the conduct that formed the basis for the sanction. In cases involving officers and managing employees, the statute includes a no knowledge element. The OIG therefore has the authority to exclude every officer and managing employee of a sanctioned entity." says Formato.

"As a practical matter, the OIG does not intend to exclude all officers and managing employees," Formato notes.

"But where the evidence supports the fact that a managing employee knew or should have known of the conduct, the OIG will probably operate with a presumption in favor of exclusion."

"Abrams Fensterman has one of the largest health care legal practices in New York state, representing approximately 125 nursing homes, a large number of medical groups and individuals in a variety of complex health care-related matters," says Howard Fensterman, Managing Partner of Abrams Fensterman.

"Some of our clients include physicians, medical societies, ambulatory surgery centers, diagnostic and treatment centers, hospitals, imaging facilities, dentists, podiatrists, chiropractors, early intervention agencies and other health care providers," Fensterman notes.

"This experience has led to our health care lawyers lecturing at bar associations, professional organizations, hospitals and colleges. At these meetings and through direct communications, Pat Formato and I, along with our entire senior health care-specialist team, will be underscoring what is clearly an environment of increased enforcement on the part of the OIG that is specifically related health care fraud. We want our clients to be proactive, diligent and aggressive so as to prevent legal action against their health care entities and the possibility of being sued and personally excluded from future participation in the industry," says Fensterman.

Howard Fensterman is Managing Partner and Patrick Formato is Senior Partner of Abrams Fensterman, Fensterman, Eisman, Greenberg, Formato & Einiger, LLP (Abrams Fensterman), located at 1111 Marcus Avenue, Suite 107, Lake Success, New York. The Firm’s website is abramslaw.com

New Word City LLC Announces the Publication of The Imperial Congress

New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Imperial Congress, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling historian and novelist Thomas Fleming.

Boston, MA, August 02, 2011 - New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Imperial Congress, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling historian and novelist Thomas Fleming.

Today’s spectacle of Congress boldly defying the president of the United States - be his name Barack Obama or George Bush - is unsettling to many Americans. But it should not come as a surprise. Congress, writes Fleming, has sought to seize power for itself - and diminish the presidency - since the earliest days of the republic.

About the Author:

Thomas Fleming is one of the most distinguished and productive historians and novelists of our time. He has written 20 nonfiction books that have won prizes and praise from critics and fellow historians, many focused on the American Revolution. He has also written 23 novels, many of them bestsellers, which explore the lives of men and women in vivid narratives that range from the raw America of the 1730s to the superpower that confronted World War II and endured Korea and Vietnam.

Italiaoutdoors Invites Wine Lovers to ‘Bike the Wine Roads of the Veneto’ This Fall

Italiaoutdoors introduces a new way to see Northern Italy this fall with their eight-day “Bike the Wine Roads of the Veneto” from September 25-October 1, 2011 and October 16-22, 2011. Custom Tours Mix Chef-Led Cycling with Food & Wine in Northern Italian Wine Region

Newburyport, MA, August 03, 2011 - Italiaoutdoors introduces a new way to see Northern Italy this fall with their eight-day “Bike the Wine Roads of the Veneto” from September 25-October 1, 2011 and October 16-22, 2011. Showcasing Italiaoutdoors’ expertise in custom recreational programming and the culinary arts, the program offers an in-depth exploration of the wines and wine regions of the Veneto, beginning in Verona and Lake Garda, and ending in Treviso and the province of Venice. The tour is priced at $3100 per person, double, and covers 30-60 mile routes, meandering through the vineyards-rich area at the foot of the Dolomite Mountains overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Included are all breakfasts, lunches, and snacks, and all but one dinner. A single supplement of $600 is available.

Additionally, for cyclists who love cooking, Italiaoutdoors' fourth “Chefs on Bike” Tour is scheduled in the Veneto region from September 11-17, priced at $4500 per person, double.

Bicycle the Wine Roads of the Veneto Tour – Sept. 25-Oct. 1 and Oct. 16-22, 2011

Italiaoutdoors showcases their distinctive ability to create custom active hiking, biking, and skiing lifestyle adventures with these two eight-day fall tours, offering cyclists an in-depth exploration of the Veneto’s wines and cuisine, and culture. The Veneto area, home to the largest number of quality DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) wines in Italy, produces world-renowned vintages -- some only familiar to travelers within Italy – and includes Valpolicella, Bardolino, Soave, Gambrella, Prosecco and Lison-Pramaggiore. Participants will enjoy a selection carefully curated by Chef and Italiaoutdoors founder Kathy Bechtel, who is an avid writer about “undiscovered wines.” Chef Bechtel, together with co-owner and recreation specialist Vernon McClure, will personally lead the tours. A small group size, with a maximum of 8 participants, allows for daily itinerary customization and refinement based on participants’ interests, pacing, and r eal-time “finds.” Biking routes are designed for exploration of both the back roads and the cities in the area. This tour is through the rolling hills of the wine country, with routes ranging from 30 to 45 miles per day.

Beginning on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, the excursion dives into the world of wine with a lesson in wine tasting and selection, followed by a welcome dinner at a local “slow food” osteria. The trip introduces guests to savory wines including Amarone, Vapolicella, Soave and the most popular sparkling wine, Prosecco. Guests will also learn about lesser-known but equally distinctive wines rarely seen outside this region including lighter-bodies reds such as Marzemino and Tai Rosso, and the intense Raboso. Tour highlights along the rolling hills of the bike routes include visits to picturesque vineyards, churches and convents in Bardolino, Valpolicella, Bassano del Grappa and the walled city of Soave. The adventure ends with a farewell dinner at a trattoria in Treviso, a historically rich hub of the Veneto.

Chefs on Bikes Tour – Sept. 11-17, 2011

A fourth offering of Italiaoutdoors’ “Chefs on Bikes” program, the fall tour combines a week of biking in the Veneto with cooking instruction. Details can be found at www.italiaoutdoorsfoodandwine.com/index.php/our-programs/2011-05-28-14-29-27

Commented Rialto Restaurant’s Chef Jody Adams about her experience as Italiaoutdoors’ 2010 guest "chef on a bike," "There are many beautiful back roads and hidden treasures in this wonderful area of Italy. Biking was a wonderfully paced way to discover and converse as we explored. Our evenings were wonderful as well, with great meals and wines, and lots of laughter."
