Crowne Plaza LAX Hotel Achieves Green Seal™ GS-33 Certification

The Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Airport Hotel is proud to announce the achievement of Green Seal’s bronze level certification under the GS-33 Standard for Lodging Properties.

Los Angeles, CA, September 02, 2011 - The Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Airport Hotel is proud to announce the achievement of Green Seal’s bronze level certification under the GS-33 Standard for Lodging Properties. This accomplishment verifies that the hotel meets a rigorous set of environmental standards designed to reduce impact on the environment and human health.

“Our certification with Green Seal speaks to the determination of our staff to take a stand for environmental stewardship and put action to our values,” states Moussa Ndiaye, hotel manager. “This was truly a team effort, and I am very proud to work with such a dedicated team.”

The hotel general manager, Michael Payton, states that decision to become Green Seal-certified stemmed from two emerging trends: the growing awareness of environmental concerns among travelers, and the need to verify and quantify environmental practices. “The Green Seal standard provided us with both the road map and the accountability measurement we needed to confidently move ahead in our sustainability efforts,” states Payton.

Becoming Green Seal-certified is no small feat. Hotels must implement and document practices that minimize waste, improve energy efficiency, conserve water, improve indoor air quality, reduce harmful chemical usage, and demonstrate commitment to environmental purchasing. There are currently less than 125 hotels worldwide that have earned certification through Green Seal.

The Crowne Plaza LAX participated in the Gateway to a Greener L.A. initiative, a business community program that provided resources to businesses within the district to implement green practices that lead to measurable environmental improvement. The program was led by Julie Baylor, a green hospitality consultant in Los Angeles, who provided guidance and direction through the certification process. To date, the program has resulted in four Green Seal-certified hotels within the district, representing nearly 40% of the business district’s hotel guestroom inventory.

About Green Seal:
Established in 1989, Green Seal is a national non-profit organization that has developed science-based certification standards for products and services that meet rigorous environmental requirements. The GS-33 standard for lodging properties requires hotels to demonstrate sustainable business practices in the areas of waste minimization and reduction, recycling, energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and environmentally sensitive purchasing. www.greenseal.org

SeeS (S Double E S) Starts New Record Label, Launches Website, SeeSHipHop.com

CT local artist SeeS (S Double E S) defines passion and grind by starting his own record label and website to “SeeS Control” of the music industry.

Farmington, CT, September 02, 2011 - Chances are you have never heard about SeeS (S Double E S), but that is about the change, and make no mistakes that is a positive thing for Hip Hop. CT’s own local artist Scott Sheldon, known by stage name SeeS, is beginning to make moves in the music industry and has begun to welcome the much overdue support that his talent warrants.

In the past two years SeeS has been able to accomplish an amazing amount for an unknown and unsigned artist, and because of this work that will soon change.

In the last two years SeeS has started his own record label to promote himself, CT Corporate Takeover, collaborated with Cappadonna and Inspectah Deck from Wu-Tang as well as multiple platinum producers, created an official EP “SeeS Control”, secured a distribution deal with Bungalo/Universal Music Group for two of the singles, produced a top notch music video for his single “Mad At Me” (Feat. Diana Fuentes), produced two commercials for Mega Education that aired on Comcast in CT, completed interviews and got air play on Hot 93.7 the #1 Hip Hop station in CT, and managed to design and manage a fully functional website, www.seeshiphop.com, where all of these accomplishments can be seen and heard.

A true prodigy, SeeS has been writing and performing Hip-Hop songs since the age of 13 (now 25). SeeS was raised in the affluent suburbs of Hartford, CT, not exactly a ‘hotbed’ for Hip-Hop music. But this ironic environment simply serves to underscore his phenomenal natural talent. In the mid-90’s while Hip-Hop’s wave of popularity was exploding worldwide, SeeS, a young adopted teen living in privileged suburbia, struggled mightily with identity, individuality and sense of purpose. Hip-Hop culture captivated him. He loved it. It offered him an outlet and the freedom to express himself without limits.

Do Hip Hop a favor and learn more about SeeS. Visit his website http://www.seeshiphop.com, or simply Google (S Double E S), follow him on twitter @sees09, and Facebook www.facebook.com/sees09.

Businesses can use Lawsuits to Fight and Prevent Fraud

Fraud is a growing problem for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Each year organizations ranging from small businesses to giant corporations lose billions of dollars to fraud.

Atlanta, GA, September 01, 2011 - Fraud is a growing problem for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Each year organizations ranging from small businesses to giant corporations lose billions of dollars to fraud. Fraud is getting worse as sophisticated scam artists using the latest technology increase the size and scope their crimes.

To make matters worse, many of these criminals operate overseas where they are beyond the reach of American law enforcement. Organized gangs of fraudsters are now reported to operate out of countries such as China, Russia, Nigeria and Estonia. It can be difficult to track these people down and often hard to hold them accountable.

The crimes they perpetuate against companies include accounts payable fraud, accounts receivables scams, embezzlement, insurance fraud, invoice scams, bank fraud, identity theft and computer hacking to name just a few. Unfortunately law enforcement can have a hard time locating and prosecuting such individuals particularly if governments overseas refuse to cooperate.

One option that U.S. businesses have is to file lawsuits against such criminals in American courts. Even if the funds stolen cannot be recovered, the criminals can be held accountable for their actions. If they have funds or assets in the US, the court can seize them. If any person or organization in the US is helping the criminals, their assets and funds can be seized in the lawsuit. It might even possible to sue foreign governments that are helping or shielding fraud artists.

Because lawsuits are public record, such lawsuits can also generate negative publicity and embarrass the foreign government involved. Such publicity can alert other businesses to the existence of the scam and warn them to avoid getting ripped off. It can also trigger settlements or repayments of lost revenues in order to “make it go away”.

Filing such a lawsuit is a new or novel idea. In the past, Americans have sued foreign nationals, foreign corporations and foreign governments and won. In 2010 for example, New York lawyer Howard Fensterman sued a number of parties in Abu Dhabi on behalf of a group of American investors that had $18 million stolen from them while trying to start an insurance company in the United Arab Emirates. This lawsuit embarrassed the UAE government by insinuating that the Persian Gulf Country was not a good place to do business.

What to Look for When Choosing the Right Brisbane Plumber!

Choosing the right Brisbane Plumber is something that you should think about even before you experience trouble with your plumbing system, says Australia leading plumbing specialist, Paul.

Brisbane, Queensland, August 31, 2011 - “This is usually not the case since many people only think about finding a plumber when they are already faced with the problem. However, if you are looking for the right plumber, you have got to check out the Brisbane Plumber’s website, www.bestbrisbaneplumber.com.au, where you’ll get some useful tips and information about finding the right plumber,” said Paul.

The following is a check list that the Brisbane Plumber would like to share with you:

You should ask for the license number of the plumber Brisbane. This should not be a problem if the plumber Brisbane is operating his business legally. If you feel uncomfortable asking about this information, you can always say that it is required by your insurance company. Make sure that you jot down the information on a piece of paper for future reference. This is an important step to ensure that the plumber Brisbane is really a professional and has the right to offer his services to other people.

Another important consideration is the kind of services offered by the plumber Brisbane. Does he only fix minor troubles or does he also do installations? More often than not, reputable plumbers offer almost all types of plumbing services—from repairs to installations. But still, you need to ask yourself if the plumber Brisbane offers the kind of service that you need.

Before making repairs or installations, it is important to ask the fee that the plumber Brisbane usually charges. Does he charge a fee on a daily or hourly basis? Does it depend on the kind of service that you need? Does it include materials, tools, and other things required to finish the job? Things like these should be cleared up before you even hire the plumber Brisbane. You do not want to hire someone who is way beyond your budget or who charges a lot of hidden fees.

Make sure that the Plumber Brisbane also offers warranty. This is important especially for plumbers who are new in this business. You have to ensure that your rights as a customer are well represented in the contract between you and the plumber Brisbane. If the Plumber Brisbane does not want to guarantee his service, it would be better to try another plumber who is not afraid of offering warranty to his customers.

Choosing the right Brisbane plumber is beneficial in many ways, as according to Paul, you can save money, have peace of mind, and have a fully functional home plumbing system that makes your bathtub, toilet, shower, and sink run smoothly.

However, before you can enjoy the benefits, you first have to know how to find and choose the right plumber service. And to find the right plumber in Brisbane, Paul said you have the option of asking your friends or real estate agent, and you can search the internet or your telephone directory. “In choosing the right plumber,” he said, “some things you’ll need to consider will be the license, rates, types of services offered, and whether or not the plumber Brisbane offers warranty for his services. It is important to be 100 per cent sure about your choice before you decide to hire a plumber Brisbane.”

Business and Investment Fraud Overseas

Business and investment fraud overseas seems to be a growing problem for American businesspeople.

Atlanta, GA, August 31, 2011 - Business and investment fraud overseas seems to be a growing problem for American businesspeople. In addition to all of the scams originating abroad that target American businesses--such as accounts payable and accounts receivable scams--there are many accounts of Americans being ripped off after they do business in foreign countries.

For example many Americans get lured to seemingly modern countries and asked to participate in business ventures. Scam artists are able to do this because some of those countries lack the legal protections available in the United States. For example, there is no SEC and no SEC disclosure rules to require companies to reveal details of their operations. Many companies do not have modern banking regulations so it is often easier to steal money placed in a foreign bank.

Another reason why con artists may try to lure Americans to do business in a foreign country is that the fraudsters often have local political connections. They may have friends or relatives in the local government who will protect them even if they commit blatant crimes against foreigners, whether these are Americans, British subjects, Canadians or Australians.

Fraud Overseas

A typical example of this was exposed by a lawsuit filed in a Florida court by New York attorney Howard Fensterman. Fensterman alleged that he and his clients were lured to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates to help organize an insurance company. To facilitate this deal they had to put $18 million in a UAE bank, yet the money was simply stolen from the bank. The investors filed suit in the U.S. to recover their funds.

This kind of fraud can occur even if you are lured to a foreign country by its government or prominent citizens. In some cases they may even be in on the scam.

Singles Seek Respect During National Singles Week

“Singles are the Rodney Dangerfields of our society,” says Rich Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization.

San Rafael, CA, August 30, 2011 - “Singles are the Rodney Dangerfields of our society,” says Rich Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization. “They can’t get no respect.

Approaches to HIV Eradication

The various approaches to HIV eradication all address a problem, and that problem is the HIV reservoir. HIV reservoirs have been called the last hiding place for HIV within the body. The final step toward finding a cure against HIV lies in dealing with HIV reservoirs.

Toulon, France, August 30, 2011 - What can be done about HIV eradication? The advancements in scientific technology and medical treatments have made significant progress in managing HIV and making it a chronic condition in most patients; however, the next logical step toward a cure has been elusive. Researchers have been working hard for the past few years on closing the gap between manageable disease and functional cure, and several different approaches have been explored or are currently being discussed. While antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been effective against HIV virus out in the open bloodstream, there are pockets of HIV that lie dormant in cells until antiretroviral therapy ceases, which allow them to become active again. These pockets are called HIV reservoirs. The approaches to HIV eradication focus mainly on how to deal with these reservoirs.

Let's talk about some of the discussed approaches; seven of them to be exact. On one approach, ART is started before HIV has a chance to establish reservoirs. This normally takes place when a person is just infected with HIV (acute HIV infection), very early in the process. The hope is to stop viruses before reservoirs can be established. In another approach, ART is intensified greatly in order to stop completely HIV replication. An alternate strategy is to activate dormant T-cells so the remaining HIV reservoirs can be flushed out and eliminated.

There are also strategies that deal with preventing the virus from infecting additional cells directly. If the HIV reservoirs can't be eliminated, one approach involves keeping the reservoirs dormant forever, keeping the HIV from ever replicating again. This means finding ways to disable the virus's ability to replicate. Alternatively, a sixth strategy protects the uninfected cells from ever being infected. The seventh discussed approach attempts to strengthen the body's natural immune system when exposed to HIV, very much like how a vaccine works.

The various approaches to HIV eradication all address a problem, and that problem is the HIV reservoir. HIV reservoirs have been called the last hiding place for HIV within the body. The final step toward finding a functional cure for HIV lies in dealing with HIV reservoirs. The dormant viruses hiding in these places make it very easy for a person's viral load to increase dramatically if ART is stopped even for a short time. Therefore, in conjunction with ART, one of the known possible approaches for HIV eradication—or possibly approaches that haven't been thought of yet—will become increasingly important to develop and implement.

New Book Discusses the Master Key to Weight Management for Life

At least two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

New York, NY, August 30, 2011 - At least two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC survey found that 54% of Americans are trying to lose weight. With so many Americans trying to lose weight and so many options, why is the situation at a standstill or even getting worse? Why are so many dieters left frustrated with lack of results?

“Almost every food today is either sugar-laden or a sugar and fat combination. Our bodies are very sensitive to fluctuations in blood sugar. Excess blood sugar is converted to body fat via the hormone insulin. For any fat-loss efforts to be successful, blood sugar levels must be addressed and controlled,” say Dian Griesel, Ph.D. and Tom Griesel, co-authors of the amazing rapid fat loss book TurboCharged: Accelerate Your Fat Burning Metabolism, Get Lean Fast and Leave Diet and Exercise Rules in the Dust (April 2011, BSH).

Science backs them up. Constant presence of excess blood sugar and resulting insulin spikes are the leading cause of diabetes, insulin resistance and other serious metabolic disorders.

Humans evolved on a diet of fruits, vegetables, tubers, nuts, seeds and animal protein whenever they could catch something. None of these natural foods will result in excess blood sugar levels when consumed in reasonable amounts and in proper combination. The Griesels conclude: “Excess weight and especially excess body fat can be shed rather quickly and painlessly by working with your body instead of against it.” This, along with appropriate activities that get us up and moving are the “Master Keys” to lean bodies and optimal health.

VisiInc PLC Facilitates Premier Global collaboration Pilot trials for EFISDS

member surgeons and others from Romania, Hungaria, Netherlands, Australia, France, Greece, Russia and Sweden joined together on line in the world first premiere of a true on line collaborative effort in CME trialing VisiInc (VisiInc PLC) (VZJ) technology.

Perth, Western Australia, August 28, 2011 - Member surgeons and others from Romania, Hungaria, Netherlands, Australia, France, Greece, Russia and Sweden joined together on line in the world first premiere of a true on line collaborative effort in CME trialing VisiInc (VisiInc PLC) (VZJ) technology.

EFISDS (The European Federation of the International Society for Digestive Surgery) staged the first of a series of pilot online PG Courses. Through the VisInc PLC Vistime software, participants were able to simultaneously view, mark up, annotate and manipulate the various media including large 3D digital media in real time which as such set the scene for robust discussion on the various topics of interest.

The session lasted for 21/2 hrs and involved 20 participants throughout the world and was set up and facilitated through ESC using the Vistime collaboration technology. Vistime is a multi-file format, real-time 3D viewer for retrieval and viewing of large files, including medical imaging systems such as MRIs, scans and sonograms, over any Internet connection, including dial-up. The system allows physicians and patients to view and discuss 3D media including radiology images in an online meeting format.

Fred Meyer, Director of the EFISDS, said “This is a successful step towards the vision that EFISDS stands for; that is to provide a quality educational platform where access to, and engagement with, best practice professionals and top opinion leader surgeons in digestive surgery is facilitated in a user friendly method with new technology tailored to the specific needs of educationalists, students, residents and the medical fraternity at large.”

“Already preparations are under way for 3 or more pilots in the next 2 months to fine tune the features, educate participants and optimize communication methods. We foresee that these collaboration sessions will become a standard event within the realm of the EFISDS after our general assembly in Sweden.” Fred Meyer, Director of the EFISDS.

The Visi platform is the next evolution in visual communication, and is capable of delivering solutions in both the physical and virtual environment in 3D. VisiInc is currently in trial discussions in both Europe and Eastern Europe with major medical groups and with the recently announced integration plans of Open Inventor for the Visi platform and Vistime product, it is anticipated market opportunities will expand in Aerospace, Oil & Gas/Mining/Geosciences, Reservoir Engineering, Core Sample Analysis, Materials Science, Industrial Inspection, Simulation Data, Medical and Life Sciences, Environmental and Climate.” said Jacques Blandin CEO Founder of VisiInc PLC.

The VisiInc technology enables conference users to render and simultaneously view large multi-dimensional visual files, including digital medical media such as MRI and CAD files at lightning-fast speed without any resolution degradation or enterprise infrastructure barrier regardless of Internet connection, including dial-up (“Vistime,” www.vistime.com). 

Jacques Blandin, CEO VisInc PLC, stated, “Vistime was developed so that engineers, geologists, filmmakers, physicists, healthcare professionals and others can see and work with “elephant-sized” visual files, for the first time anywhere, and collaborate on them with peers to save time, money, and dramatically improve work place efficiencies.”

About EFISDS
The Federation has grown out of an initiative by the ISDS to bring all the European National Representations together in order to stimulate growth, innovation and communications. Our vision is to run a prudent and truly up to date Federation of European Digestive Surgical Society using the latest methodologies taking in account the ever changing needs of today’s surgeon and surgeon in training.

Rather than the purely surgical discipline driven approach, the EFISDS prefers to focus more on the disease as a whole, taking in account all the skill sets required to deliver the optimal outcome. This also includes non technical skills such as public relations, understanding of media technologies and the development of educational skills and technologies. EFISDS is all about education and training, supporting and engaging in on-line discussion and collaboration platforms, live surgery web transmissions and streaming video. The aim is to enhance the dialogue between the focus groups and to stimulate training and education by providing quality on line-mentoring.
