Luxury Travel Ltd. (www.LuxuryTravels.de) has revamped its website, face book, published brochures in German and has named German national, Julia Gerner, as their German Marketing Executive
Hanoi, Vietnam, February 23, 2013 - Luxury Travel Ltd. (www.LuxuryTravels.de) has revamped its website, face book, published brochures in German and has named German national, Julia Gerner, as their German Marketing Executive in their campaign to attract luxury-minded German travelers to Vietnam.
Julia Gerner will be responsible for the development of the German Department, overseas sales and marketing activities, and customer care with Luxury Travel’s business partners in German speaking countries.
Vietnam annually welcomes 110,000 German tourists and the Vietnam tourism sector needs qualified workers and providers of niche tourism products for this market.
For many travel experts, Vietnam is increasingly being recognized as a destination for high-end global tourists, especially those coming from Western European countries with direct flights, such as France, the UK, and Germany. For German tourists, Vietnam is a magnet due to their historical links and the strategic partnership between the two countries.
German tourists wish to experience Vietnam's defining characteristics: thrills, nature, heritage, festivals, pristine beauty, enjoyment, scenery and essence. To accommodate this, Vietnam now has world class hotels and resorts, beaches and cuisine, in addition to its natural beauty, rich history and traditional culture.
“We expect good German traffic to Vietnam in 2013-2014, especially from small groups, families, couples and special interest travelers. Germany is among the top European markets for us, aided by a direct flight between Vietnam and Germany. Vietnam is better known as a backpacker destination for German travelers, but efforts are being made to promote Vietnam as a luxury destination and to attract upscale German-speaking travelers with niche tourism products. Our German speaking team is very well placed to serve high-end travelers.” said Pham Ha, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.
“I am glad to join Luxury Travel Ltd. in order to promote the company’s niche tourism products to the German speaking market. With my colleagues here, I am confident that the products offered by Luxury Travel are highly suitable for the German market. The demand for luxury tourism products is increasing as is the popularity of Southeast Asia as a travel destination, especially Vietnam and Cambodia. The expectations of luxury travelers are high, but Luxury Travel offers everything that is needed to meet and even exceed these expectations. The highly qualified specialists are dedicated to design every customer’s dream vacation and to satisfy every wish. My primary task here is to create awareness of Luxury Travel in the German market and to approach German travel agents and tour operators especially for the upcoming ITB Berlin 2013.” said Julia Gerner.
“Julia is committed to the idea of the luxury travel concept, marketing Vietnam as a high-end destination and promoting our niche tourism products, not only in Vietnam, but also in others Southeast Asian countries such as Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand.” said Ha.
Luxury Travel takes part in many trades show in Europe, including the upcoming ITB Berlin 2013, and is targeting double digit growth from this market segment this year.

Netkiller present Cloud Document Management
San Jose, CA, February 21, 2013 - Cloud platform is now gradually becoming a mega trend and it is essentially changing the way people go about collaboration their personal as well as professional information with colleagues.
Amidst all of this, Netkiller has realized that people are now using the cloud platforms to write, send and receive documents and emails and so they have introduced a new secure and easy way to manage these cloud documents and submit them on a workflow so people can collaborate seamlessly.
netkiller_Docs is one of its kinds as there is no other which can manage the collaboration as well as the documents that are present in a cloud. With this application, you will be able to do cloud collaboration and take care of document workflow without hassle so that it can be integrated with the Google cloud platform. netkiller_Docs works well with Google Apps and Gmail and is available to all its users.
* Intro Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i1zpCSosUQ
For starters, netkiller_Docs basically has two functions one of which is ‘Docs’ which provides an enhanced view of Google drive. Because of this feature, the users will easily be able to find the shared document on the cloud. For instance, when you click ‘users’ from the organizational chart, it will show you the list of documents that have been shared with the selected user. This is why it becomes easier for you to find the updated versions and search the documents that you need according to the time frame that you have entered.
The other function which we were talking about earlier is the ‘Collavate’ which is essentially the combination of Collaboration and Innovation. The purpose or objective behind this function is to automate the business process and document life cycles. With this function, you will be able to send any document or files securely to any internal or external user to request an approval. This way, the document ownership will automatically be changed to the document manager (admin) and is then finally stored on Google drive.
Because this application is so diverse, it can be used for any kind or type of organization. Official documents, such as contracts, quotations and invoices can be submitted to the supervisors or clients for review. Once the individual has reviewed the documents, they can be officially approved or returned with comments. These documents, once approved will then be processed and archived on the admin’s Google Doc.
Given below are several examples of how you can use netkiller_Docs to your benefit.
1. Attorney/Legal Services: Legal documents are easily managed on Google drive so you can send it to review and sign from the client. Once these are approved, they can be processed.
2. Media: With this application, journalists can write an article and submit it to a desk and they can be sent to the press in real time after they have been reviewed and edited.
3. Schools: Reports or essays can be submitted to the instructors and then either confirmed or returned with comments. All the confirmed documents are then recorded and archived on the instructor’s Google drive.
If you want proof of the success of netkiller_Docs, you can read about the thousands of reference customers that the application has since its launch. For example, MS autotech now uses netkiller_Docs for their 300 staffs to manage the cloud documentation and confirm to share only with the authorized persons. Also, ChosunBiz benefits from it by sending an article to the desk and keeps track of changes and send it to the press over two years.
Because netkiller_Docs has been secured by the Google Cloud Platform, which is certified by SSAE, 16 Type II and ISAE, 3402 Type II Standards, it is as secure as you can get. Moreover, netkiller_Docs is the ‘pure Google Apps Solutions’ and so it does not store any of the user’s Google Docs within the Google Apps.
To learn more about netkiller_Docs, go to the netkiller_Docs webpage or visit Netkiller website at www.netkiller.com.

Advanced Orthopedic offers guidance on mitigating potential risks of recent health trends
Denver, CO, February 20, 2013 — Each new year brings a renewed desire to get healthy and active. However, Advanced Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Specialists, Denver’s premier orthopedic practice for those determined to be active, warns of new exercise trends that may actually be hazardous to your health.
“Exercise and fitness trends are great at getting people active, healthy and engaged. But, they could also be harmful,” warns H. Andrew Motz, MD, orthopedic surgeon at Advanced Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Specialists. “It is critical that people approach these exercise options carefully to avoid ending up in our offices.”
Some of the recent health trends that the physicians at Advanced Orthopedic have identified as potentially harmful include:
1. Barefoot running advocates argue that the human body began running without shoes and that wearing shoes actually prevents foot muscle development. However, as this fitness trend continues to take off, runners could be risking injury by too quickly shifting to a new running style. Runners may experience stress fractures, shin splints and increased soreness in the calves as a result of not properly transitioning to this new running style and attempting to change their gait.
Instead of tossing your running shoes, Advanced Orthopedic recommends focusing on how your foot lands as you run and working to distribute the impact of each step throughout your entire foot, rather than mainly your heel.
2. High intensity circuit training classes have taken the fitness world by storm. But, the high intensity nature of these types of activities can pose increased injury risks if people try to do too much too fast. Without proper training and easing into an activity, even the most elite of athletes can suffer an injury.
If a high intensity workout is what motivates you to stay active, take part in a class that lets you move at your own pace and remember to take the crucial time at the beginning of your workout to warm up and stretch. Also, pay careful attention to form. Many times in these fast paced workout environments, in an effort to keep up, individuals struggle to maintain good form and end up hurting themselves.
3. For the right individual, yoga is a great way to de-stress and workout, but that does not mean it is the fitness trend for everybody. First-time yogis trying a more advanced class or pose could overextend their muscles aggravating them, even pulling a muscle. Yoga is all about stretching, but if you do not listen to your own body you could harm yourself.
If you are giving yoga a try for the first time, or even as you advance in your yoga practice, take it slow and come out of a pose if it is too difficult and you feel your muscles begin to shake and fatigue.
4. Spin classes are an excellent way to get a great cardiovascular workout, but many enthusiastic instructors may incorporate too many gyrations while on the bike. Incorporating squats, hovers, push-ups, hip thrusts, jumps or one-foot spins are not always appropriate to be performed on a bike. These types of moves can risk shoulder and knee injuries.
Remember that these extra movements are merely suggested options, not required and not recommended. Simply riding a bike at the appropriate intensity and incline level can be a productive workout.
5. At first glance, the exercise items being sold on TV may look like a fast, easy way to get in shape—but if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Whenever you bring a stationary piece of equipment into your home to augment your workout regimen, it is important to make sure you have taken all the proper precautions to ensure its safety.
Not properly securing punching bags or pull-up bars could cause injuries if they come loose from the wall during a workout. Additionally, a new abdominal or weightlifting machine may look like the quick fix on TV, but individuals should always slowly ease into a new activity to reduce unnecessary strain and stress on joints and muscle.
6. The Kinesio Taping® Method, an exercise trend seen frequently in the 2012 London Olympics, is applying highly elastic athletic tape to muscles in an effort to reduce pain and inflammation and support muscles in their normal, day-in and day-out movement.
However, it is certainly not a cure for tired or overused muscles. Kinesio tape can be helpful to ease muscle aches and pains, but is not advised as a replacement option for orthopedic treatments due to a torn meniscus or rotator cuff, for example.
“Exercise can help you lose weight, reduce risk of disease and prolong your life. But it should be done thoughtfully,” explains Dr. Motz. “A good rule of thumb is to listen to your mind and body—if it looks too good to be true, it probably is; and if you’re feeling shaky or overwhelmingly fatigued, you could be putting yourself at serious risk of injury.”

World healthcare models are continuously facing financial challenges when it comes to providing for an ageing population.
Oxford, UK, February 20, 2013 - World healthcare models are continuously facing financial challenges when it comes to providing for an ageing population. The current models for provision are increasingly questioned with the upward trend in healthcare spending becoming a significant portion of the GDP. One solution to alleviate the ever increasing burden is earlier detection of disease using more accurate and sensitive diagnostic kits.
Innova Biosciences has recently launched a technology called Thunder-Link® which will facilitate the development of diagnostic tests. The innovative technology has been designed to allow non-specialists to engineer oligonucleotide conjugates with ease. Such biomolecule complexes are increasingly used in high-sensitivity diagnostic kits, and are designed to overcome limited sensitivity and linear range often encountered with traditional antibody-enzyme conjugates. Prior to Thunder-Link® such biomolecules were difficult and expensive to develop and required specialist knowledge.
Commenting on the launch Nick Gee, CEO, ‘All of Innova’s products in one way or other are geared towards generating conjugates more easily and quickly and improving assay performance. The launch of the Thunder-Link® range of oligo conjugation products firmly places Innova as a key reagent supplier to the diagnostic industry and will assist in bringing high performance diagnostic kits to market.’
About Innova Biosciences Limited
Innova Biosciences is a growing, dynamic business based in Cambridge, UK. At the core of Innova's business are Lightning-Link® and InnovaCoat® technologies that simplify the production of antibody-based reagents. The expanding portfolio of products is sold to research laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies and diagnostic companies worldwide. The company is ISO 9001:2008 certified.

International treatment center encourages four strategies for living a life of recovery
Denver, CO, February 20, 2013 – Tens of millions of Americans struggle with eating disorders, including a growing population of baby boomers, adolescents and children. For individuals in recovery from these complex illnesses, a frightening reality is the possibility of eating disorders relapse. In fact, a 2005 study in the European Eating Disorders Review found that more than one-third of individuals who have struggled with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa will experience an eating disorders relapse in the first two and a half years after leaving a treatment center.
With National Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2013 taking place next week, February 24-March 2, Eating Recovery Center, an international center providing comprehensive treatment for eating disorders, seeks to highlight the skills and support structures that help men, women and children live a life of recovery. Recognizing that the hardest work of recovery often begins upon returning to “real life” following intensive eating disorders treatment, Eating Recovery Center offers these four strategies to help individuals protect their health and avoid eating disorders relapse.
1. Remain actively engaged with the aftercare plan. Discharge planning and the development of a recovery-focused post-treatment strategy are critical in creating sustainable recoveries and preventing relapse. These individualized aftercare plans are created by licensed therapists who work closely with a patient’s treatment team to identify emotional, behavioral and situational discharge challenges, and outline personal and recovery-focused goals.
2. Develop a strong supportive network. Friends, family and colleagues who have been educated about eating disorders and understand how to support a loved one in his or her recovery can be very helpful in sustaining recovery. Many individuals find a strong recovery-focused community through the alumni programming offered by many treatment centers. These programs generally provide ongoing education, events and a sense of community to support a life of eating disorders recovery.
3. Identify values and pursue valued life directions. Values not only serve as a compass for people’s lives, but also help individuals with eating disorders understand why change is necessary and pursue that change, even when it feels overwhelmingly difficult. Not surprisingly, identifying values and valued life directions are key components of the eating disorders recovery process. Taking time to be in touch with values and align thoughts and actions with valued life directions can help sustain recovery, even in times of stress or challenges.
4. Seek help. Sustainable recoveries do not just happen. Individuals and families in recovery from eating disorders must work diligently to protect and maintain a healthy weight and body image. The need for additional support – through support groups, outpatient therapy or an intensive treatment program – does not indicate failure, but rather underscores an ongoing commitment to doing whatever it takes to sustain eating disorders recovery.
“By nature, individuals with eating disorders tend to be perfectionistic and high achieving—they like to do things right, and they like to be the best at their endeavors,” explains Julie Holland, MHS, CEDS, chief marketing officer at Eating Recovery Center. “Their approach to recovery is generally no different, and patients often struggle to understand that life without an eating disorder looks different for every individual and there is no ‘right’ or ‘perfect’ way to live a life of recovery. In addition to developing recovery skills and implementing effective support systems, patients must also accept that challenges are likely to arise and understand that they have not failed even if recovery lapses occur.”

New app introduces three powerful learning techniques to help students maximize their SAT scores
Malibu, CA, February 19, 2013 – High school students have a new choice when it comes to mastering SAT vocabulary. Veritas Prep today announced the availability of a new free app, called SAT Vocabulary by Veritas Prep to make learning common SAT level words easier. The app allows students to play games, take quizzes and master important vocabulary words through memory retrieval instead of memorization, all on their iPhone. The SAT Vocabulary app is a complement to the other free online SAT prep resources offered by Veritas Prep.
The iPhone app includes stimulating features that will keep students engaged on the path to success. Features include:
* An innovative scoring system that helps students track their progress toward becoming a “master of vocab”
* A database of over 500 commonly used SAT level words
* Sentences that show students how words are used, not just their meanings
* Missions and games to challenge students (including brutally hard levels for those vocab masters)
The app also utilizes three powerful and proven learning techniques that help ensure students retain more of what they learn.
Adaptive Learning: The app keeps track of how well students know each word and emphasizes words students need to work on so they feel comfortable with the material they already do know.
Spaced Repetition: A technique that exposes students to words gradually over time so that they become a part of long-term memory learning.
Retrieval Practice: Students are asked to retrieve words from memory through exercises like writing sentences for words, which promotes long-term memory.
“High school students are busy people. Between academics and extra-curricular activities, they are always on the go. The app makes SAT prep easy to do anywhere, at anytime. Plus, this app employs learning techniques that encourage a deep understanding of new words rather than simple memorization which will help students achieve their highest possible score,” said Chad Troutwine, co-founder and CEO of Veritas Prep.
The SAT Vocabulary by Veritas Prep can be found in the Apple store by searching for Veritas Prep. To learn more about other SAT prep resources from Veritas Prep and its college admissions consulting services visit http://www.veritasprep.com/sat/.

Many people find it hard to reconcile science and spirituality, even though both are big parts of the human experience. Entrepreneur Justin Ligeri has launched a new blog which he hopes will help people more easily integrate both spirit and science into their lives.
Tampa, FL, February 17, 2013 (Straight Line PR) -- Anyone who saw the movie "The Matrix" can understand and appreciate how revolutionary the idea of quantum theory can be. Most people who have an appreciation for science can have trouble reconciling age old spiritual principles with scientific dogma. They often find the the two approaches to be mutually exclusive.
Justin Ligeri has launched a new web site to bring together the scientific and spiritual wisdom that he has found over the last twenty years. "I have been a seeker of truth since I was a little boy," says Ligeri. "My goal in launching this site is to share the most revolutionary spiritual and scientific concepts and ideas in a blog format. My goal is to simply share the things that I have collected on my hard drive hoping that others can benefit from them as well."
The new web site and blog, http://www.JustinLigeri.net/ , is intended to help close the perceived gap between spirituality and science.
"Over the last twenty years I have attended hundreds of seminars and lectures as well as read hundreds of books that have attempted to bring together the latest cutting edge research of science with spirituality. My purpose is to be a content curator where I comment on what I find and share it with subscribers and people of like mind hoping that they too will enjoy it," explains Ligeri.
An avid reader, researcher and traveler, Ligeri hopes that by curating content that inspires and challenges the status quo, better things will be produced from the experience.
"I am a huge believer in Albert Einstein," enthuses Ligeri, "but I am also a big fan of the Dalai Lama. While this may appear contradictory on the surface, I find that both of these visionaries share a perspective that is hugely inspiring and empowering. On each and every post, I invite readers to share their feedback and comment their thoughts and opinions. Over the last twenty years I have collected what I think are the top insights from scientists and spiritual thinkers. I always look forward to the feedback I receive."
A recent post on Ligeri's site shared a performance between Brad Paisley, and a hologram of Carrie Underwood. Subsequent posts provide insights on holograms, the holographic universe, and much more. Read more, and see the video, at http://www.JustinLigeri.net/metaphysics/nashville-country-meets-the-hologram/
Ligeri draws for his inspiration from research by Amit Goswami, Leonard Susskind, David Bohm, Karl Pribram, David Albert, Richard Feynman, William Tiller, John Hagelin, Stuart Hameroff, Nick Herbert, Andrew Newberg, Fred Alan Wolf, Dean Radin, Jeffery Satinover, Micheal Ledwidth and Brian Greene. His blog can be found at http://www.JustinLigeri.net/

Toronto Self Defense, SAFE International Announces Release of Self Defense EBook “How To Get Home Safely To Your Family”
Toronto, ON, February 13, 2013 - (Straight Line PR) - SAFE International Self Defense Canada would like to announce the release of their new EBook, "How To Get Home Safely To Your Family". SAFE International is Canada’s leader in personal protection instruction. They have taught more than 175,000 women since 1994. What makes SAFE International so effective is that they don’t just teach the physical side of self defense but also the psychological and emotional sides. In this self defense e-book for women , they author will be covering how to recognize and avoid potentially dangerous situations, which is the most important step in self defense. It is important to note, however, that even though learning an attacker's methods and tactics will help you from becoming a victim, no one skill is guaranteed to protect you from harm. These tips can greatly increase your chances of staying safe, but no tactic, strategy, or tip offered is guaranteed to work. There are literally thousands of variables in any given scenario, and one's own intuition is often the best way to avoid violence. The author hopes this self defense e-book teaches you some important strategies on how to avoid potentially dangerous situations and helps keep you safe.
The following is an excerpt from this women’s self defense e-book:
How Being Too Polite Can Be Dangerous
Yes, being too polite can be dangerous. Someone who is going to harm you is going to look for someone who they can take advantage of. If someone offers you help and you feel uncomfortable, or your intuition kicks in, say "NO." If they keep persisting, they are ignoring the answer you just gave them.
Do not feel obligated to accept someone's help, and if they try to make you feel guilty, this just confirms your intuition to begin with. We teach children that they must be polite to adults. This is wrong and could be potentially dangerous. Teach children to trust their inner voice or intuition.
I would much rather my child offend a complete stranger than have my child abducted because they felt like they had to be polite to this person. Again, if someone ignores your "NO," they are trying to control you somehow. Being too polite is a constant theme in all our SAFE International seminars and one that people commonly struggle with regardless of age.
While this self defense Ebook is being marketed to women, it is definitely appropriate and applicable to women, men, and kids. Some of the other topics included are:
How Attackers choose their Victims - this topic alone could be the difference between being chosen as a potential victim or not.
Car Safety - approaching your vehicle, underground parking, etc.
Distractions - the different methods attackers will use to distract you.
Being Followed - how do you know, where do you go, what do you do.
Shortcuts - the dangers of shortcuts.
Public Transportation - using buses or taxis and the risks involved.
PLUS MUCH MUCH MORE! For more information from this SAFE International E-book, CLICK HERE.
