Ethical investment survey welcomed as 'Great tool' by AAA

Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has commented on the latest survey from IFA Barchester Green Investment, which intends to find the best and worst ethical investments in the UK.

Boston, MA, January 10, 2012 - Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has commented on the latest survey from IFA Barchester Green Investment, which intends to find the best and worst ethical investments in the UK.

“Barchester’s Heroes and Villains survey is a great tool for anyone looking to make an ethical investment in 2012,” commented AAA’s Anthony Johnson. The analysts for the alternative investment advocacy and research group, added, “Here at AAA, we believe that it is possible to make money while making a positive impact on social and environmental issues, particularly by investing in projects working in developing countries.”

The Barchester survey looks to whether certain funds within the ethical and environmental sector are living up to their long-term goals and generating return for investors. The top-ranked fund for 2011 was the Aviva Sustainable Future Managed Fund, which has £310 million of assets under management at the moment.

Other funds to make the Heroes list included the Kames Ethical Equity Fund, Henderson Industries of the Future and the Cheviot Climate Assets. There has been a major increase in interest in ethical funds in recent years, thanks to a general move towards alternatives in response to volatility within the equity markets.

“When people are looking for an alternative fund, they are often drawn towards ethical options as they can also be some of the most profitable for investors,” added Mr Johnson.

AAA supports a range of impact investing options, as well as non-fund based investments, like direct forestry investment through firms like Greenwood Management. This option involves buying up sections of plantation land in countries like Brazil and Canada and making profits as the trees grow and are sold off for timber. The whole process is sustainable and both encourages and demonstrates managed forestry techniques in countries that need to protect their forestry industries for generations to come.

SAFE International covers the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. Instruction would then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible.  Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, SAFE International instructors cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario. The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Scarborough women’s self defense for travellers.  Physical self defense instruction begins with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance.  SAFE International only teaches gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. They teach a philosophy of "Attack the Attacker" which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator. Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed.

Vietnam to benefit from Rattan Forestry Project, claims FRA

Analysts at Forestry Research Associates (FRA) claim that the people of Vietnam, and especially those employed in the rattan producing sector, will reap the benefits of a new WWF fund, sponsored by IKEA.

Bainbridge Island, WA, January 09, 2012 - Analysts at Forestry Research Associates (FRA) claim that the people of Vietnam, and especially those employed in the rattan producing sector, will reap the benefits of a new WWF fund, sponsored by IKEA.

The second phase of the rattan production project is worth an estimated $56,539, which will be spent on several different projects, including sustainable forestry education. FRA said that the investment into sustainable forestry techniques in the production of rattan materials is vital for the future of the industry in Vietnam.

Between January 2012 and June 2014, the project will help to improve the quality of life for those living and working around the rattan industry, while evolving techniques for sustainability and production. The project will also provide seedlings to help develop more managed forests of rattan and bamboo.

“The idea is to provide local people working within the industry with the knowledge and support they need to make sure that the industry can provide a living for their children and grandchildren,” explained FRA’s analysis partner Peter Collins.

Those who are expected to benefit form the cash will be educated on the policies and laws in place and will also be guided on forest management techniques.

The project illustrates how investment in forestry in developing countries can not only help them to safeguard a vital industry, but can also generate returns and benefits for investors around the globe. FRA supports sustainable forestry investment projects, such as the one taking place in Brazil, which is run by Greenwood Management. It gives investors from all over the world the chance to invest in a specific piece of plantation land on which fast-growing non-native trees are grown. These trees generate profit as they grow and also provide alternatives to using native trees in the production of charcoal for the steel industry.

Bill Ringle Leads AskBillRingle.com Forum on Creating a Business Theme that Inspires

On January 5, 2012, AskBillRingle.com's open conference call for entrepreneurs and business owners addressed the subject "Creating a Business Theme that Inspires Your Staff and Customers."

Philadelphia, PA, January 08, 2012 - Nationally known speaker, author, and CEO coach Bill Ringle led this month's AskBillRingle.com forum, "Creating a Business Theme that Inspires Your Staff and Customers," on Thursday, January 5 at 4:00pm ET. To ensure maximum business growth in the new year, you need to hone a direction and make your business theme clear both to your staff and to customers. The January AskBillRingle.com conversation addressed this issue and allowed participants to step into the new year on the right foot.

The forum covered best practices for assessing the full scope of environmental trends, evaluating company strengths in light of the progress in the last year, aligning with values that matter to stakeholders, and enlisting the help of your teams to succeed further and faster. Ringle also shared key factors that are missing from most goal setting sessions.

"One of the reasons that New Years resolutions have such a dismal track record is that people typically set unrealistic timeframes for their goals and get discouraged and distracted quickly, abandoning important directions and objectives," says business growth strategist Bill Ringle. "With a theme-based approach, you have an ongoing mechanism, like a GPS inside your head, that helps you make choices and decisions hour by hour, day by day. One business client picked a theme of 'to $10 million and beyond' (a la Buzz Lightyear) and both he and his sales team used that throughout the day over the course of a year to exceed their revenue goal. Another client, inspired by Steve Jobs, selected a theme of 'the journey is the reward' and sought out international contracts so she could travel to new countries and enjoy the cultures as she did business. Themes, when applied properly, can be tremendously interesting and enjoyable to the individual as we ll as profitable to the business."

AskBillRingle.com gives business owners and entrepreneurs answers to their most pressing business growth questions. The website and accompanying conference calls, focusing on a different subject each month, will give business owners unprecedented access to Ringle's expertise, experience, and advice, as well as allow them to benefit from the shared exchanges with other business owners. February's topic, "Taking Care of Your Most Important Business Asset," will address important self-care techniques that will benefit both you and your business.

Bill Ringle works with entrepreneurs and CEOs who want to overcome the five big challenges to business growth so that they can run profitable and rewarding businesses rather than become stuck and overwhelmed in unfulfilling and draining roles. He has worked on four continents, is the author of four business books, and inspires and educates thousands of business leaders each year through his speaking, coaching, interactive programs, and educational products.

Occupy The US Constitution Launched by A3 Society

Occupy Wall Street has another big task to do - fix the U.S. Constitution. The A3 Society, founded on breakthrough discoveries that EXACTLY address this task, has launched the National Opinion Collection System as a key component.

Jacksonville, FL, January 08, 2012 - Occupy Wall Street has another big task to do - fix the U.S. Constitution. The A3 Society, founded on breakthrough discoveries that EXACTLY address this task, has launched the National Opinion Collection System as a key component.

Breakthrough discoveries in human brain structure, language, the psychology of human behavior, evolution, morality and democracy made by A3 Society founder Bruce Nappi are being made available to the Occupy Wall Street effort to provide a new foundation upon which to restructure the U.S. government.

The basic government structures described in the U.S. Constitution emerged from beliefs which explained a world that was very different from what we have now. That world was characterized by: low population, primitive subsistence agricultural, isolated communities, local economies, and a wealth of natural resources. The models for nature, humanity and the conduct of life were based on superstition, and used religious language. The principles: Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, Freedom of Religion, Speech, Assembly, Right to Bear Arms, and Family were also defined by the beliefs of that time.

The Renaissance brought an explosion of challenges to the religious interpretations of all of these principles. This splintered the Christian world and produced an upheaval in governance, pulling control away from the Pope and establishing independent countries and religions across Europe under the control of kings. Philosophy went into turmoil. Academics scrambled to re-explain the world, the behavior of humans, and the meaning of morality.

In the middle of this turmoil, a handful of English colonies in a "new world" abundant with resources, launched a bold experiment. They wanted to free themselves from Authoritarianism, Aristocracy and Religious Doctrine: a government, OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE.

Change, however, drastically accelerated. The industrial revolution brought power tools, automation, chemistry, electronics, high speed WORLD WIDE transportation and instant communications. World population exploded beyond what the planet can sustain. In just ONE CENTURY, these new technologies so drastically boosted humanity's ability to plunder the planet, that we are now facing depletion of most natural resources. YET, these awesome new capabilities are still being directed by a government structure designed to govern a much simpler world.

In two new books, scientist, engineer and philosopher Bruce Nappi presents breakthrough concepts that expand the discoveries of the world's greatest thinkers to include modern knowledge and combine them into an integrated system. The new knowledge leads directly to new governing structures that humanity can implement to address the breakdown in current democracy. The National Opinion Collection System is described along with other needed changes on the A3society.org web site under the government and democracy tabs.

About Bruce Nappi

Explorer, philosopher and Jacksonville, Florida author, Bruce Nappi, has just released two volumes of his new book series LIARS! The books present over 40 major discoveries that answer many of the most critical unanswered questions of the ages, including why we have so much chaos and strife in modern society. Difficult psychological and philosophical discoveries are explained using common language in a readable, exciting novel format. The discoveries affect every part of our culture, making the books valuable reading for everyone who seeks understanding and improvement for today's society.

The books -- LIARS! Vol. 1: Scout to the Pole; and Vol. 2: Escape to Insanity -- are based on Nappi's experience as one of the Eagle Scouts on the 1965 North Pole Expedition. They present an "Atlas Shrugged" philosophical romp through a 3 Stooges run government research world, challenging the most fundamental beliefs of human culture. The coming of age saga is filled with true-life adventures expanded by the insights of 40 years in the rough and tumble world of high tech business intrigue. A life threatening climax in volume 2 finally creates a setting to pull together the wisdom and lay out a broad and comprehensive explanation for many of the problems modern society is searching to understand.

About the A3 Society

The A3 Society was formed to gather a community of like-minded people to implement the 40+ scientific, philosophical and social breakthroughs presented in the books LIARS! Vol. 1: Scout to the Pole and LIARS! Vol. 2: Escape to Insanity.

Companies ignore Smartphone users online: 7 in 10 have no mobile website - 8 in 10 send no mobile emails

Mobile 'Will Improve' Online Conversion Rates

Shenley Wood, Milton Keynes, January 06, 2012 - Despite the rapid growth in popularity of mobile internet use – most smartphone users access websites and 33% make purchases on it (according to EPiServer*) - over two-thirds of companies (70%) have not yet optimised their websites for mobile. And more than 8 in 10 (84%) are not designing marketing emails for mobile.

These are findings from the latest RedEye and Econsultancy Conversion Rate Optimization Report 2011, based on a survey of more than 700 client-side and agency digital marketers. 

The report highlights that mobile should play a key role in retaining customers online. Given that just 25% of marketers say they are satisfied with online conversion rates, tablets and phones should not be ignored in mobile conversion strategies - and will even help to boost conversion overall.

It is so easy for brands to damage their online reputation and ignoring customers viewing on mobiles and tablets can be off-putting and potentially impact engagement, particularly in highly competitive marketplaces.

Optimising for mobile is a missed opportunity, especially for retailers, as many are now seeing serious return on their mobile investment. 

Mark Patron, CEO at RedEye, explains: “Accepting that consumers often use multiple devices to access email and Internet, if the content is not optimised for the media it directly impacts conversion. For customers trying to view a full scale website on their phone, it’s not just frustrating, it’s all too-easy to head elsewhere to a properly optimised site.”

According to stats from the ONS, there has been significant growth in mobile internet adoption over the last 12 months, with an extra 6m using their phone to access the web over 2010. 

Usability testing with mobiles

One way to see if a brand needs a dedicated mobile site is to look at the user experience for mobile visitors. This will identify whether some parts of the site simply do not work, Flash elements for example. Also, while the site may work reasonably well via mobile, there may be hidden barriers to purchase which will only be picked up during testing. 

However, only just under a third (28% of companies and 30% of agency clients) say they have used mobile phones and under a fifth have used tablets while testing (16% of company respondents and 17% of agency clients).

Optimising emails for mobile

Another area where companies can improve ROI is adapting emails for mobile devices. A growing proportion of emails (15% upwards) are being opened and read on mobile phones, but still only a minority of companies are optimising emails for mobile.

Despite the potential for improving open rates by optimising emails for mobile, just 14% of companies and 24% of agencies are currently doing this. 

For a copy of the full report please visit: http://econsultancy.com/reports/conversion-rate-optimization-report

Based on the findings of this report RedEye has released a new white paper explaining how to implement a structured process to improve online conversion. This white paper can be downloaded from www.redeye.com .

The research is based on a survey of more than 700 client-side and agency digital marketers carried out in July and August 2011.
