Opulen Capital Life Insurance Policy Settlements States That the Life Settlement Industry Is Poised for an Exceptional Year

Opulen Capital Life Insurance Policy Settlements States That the Life Settlement Industry Is Poised for an Exceptional Year

The Life Settlement Industry is Positioned for One of its Strongest Years in Recent History Because of Improved Investor Interest, Greater Client Need, and Better Industry Regulation.

(PRWEB) April 27, 2011

Manhattan Beach, CA (PRWEB) April 26, 2011 — The life settlement industry is positioned for one of its strongest years in recent memory. While the secondary market for life insurance has suffered over the last couple of years due to the struggling economy and lack of capital, optimism remains high. Chris Ledlie, CEO of Opulen Capital, assuredly states, "The industry as a whole has seen a vibrant recovery and the worst is certainly behind us. We've seen many buyers return to aggressive bidding which has had yielded extraordinarily positive results for our clients" http://www.opulencapital.com/blog/life-settlement-industry-poised-exceptional-year

Much of the renewed enthusiasm is due to a direct focus on life settlement transparency and disclosure due to increased regulatory actions, better industry practices, and meticulous underwriting. The enforced regulatory measure has Clark Hogan, Managing Director of Opulen Capital, believing that the Life Settlement industry is once again a viable market option. "The regulatory actions of individual Departments Of Insurance are very encouraging to those of us in the life settlement industry. These actions serve to control the industry, push out the bad actors, instill greater confidence in institutional investors who plan on purchasing life settlements, and create a better experience for the financially distressed or overinsured senior citizen. "

Reasons for industry optimism are bolstered by the fact that an average of 10,000 baby boomers will turn 65 every day over the next 19 years, resulting in a dramatic increase in potential customers in need of making the most of their life insurance premiums.

With this age shift in the population, life settlements will only grow in popularity and functionality. Baby Boomers have had to postpone retirement because of the recent financial downturn and housing crisis and are looking for creative ways to raise cash; utilizing a life insurance policy settlement can sometimes be a better alternative to taking cash out of a life insurance policy to finance their retirement lifestyle.

Citing these solid industry fundamentals, the Life Settlement industry is poised for tremendous growth heading forward. As the recession comes to an end, the industry's future is as promising as ever.

ABOUT OPULEN CAPITAL

Opulen Capital is a specialized financial service firm focusing on the life insurance needs of senior citizens. Opulen Capital’s products and services are tailored to the needs of its valued clientele. With over 30 years of combined experience, Opulen Capital provides an extraordinary level of experience and professionalism for its customer base.

Internet Marketing Update: 5 Little-Known Keys to Boost Online Sales and Profits

Internet Marketing Update: 5 Little-Known Keys to Boost Online Sales and Profits

An insider's look at internet marketing and why the real message has only begun to emerge. http://www.TheWebsiteAnalysis.com.

(PRWEB) April 27, 2011

Atlanta, Georgia – April 27 – At a time when traditional advertising is in a steady decline, entrepreneurs are looking for reliable ways to drive targeted traffic and generate leads through their website. You needn't look far for information on internet marketing. The question Ramon Dees asks (and so should you) is this: are you really getting the full story? And if the mainstream media provides any clues, the answer is no.

Ramon Dees, leading expert in internet marketing, has been helping local business owners with website marketing since 2005. He says, "marketing online has transformed quite a bit with the advent of mobile marketing, local search, and social media marketing. Most local business owners have to spin a lot of plates in order to stay afloat today's economy. It's time we separate facts from fiction, and myths from truths."

"Developing an online presence is no longer an option for small business owners wanting to boost sales. 73% of online activity is related to local content. 97% of internet users in the U.S. gather shopping information online, and of those consumers, 51% explicitly characterize their behavior as 'Shop Online, Purchase in Person'. For every one dollar U.S. consumers spend online, another five or six are going to offline purchases that are influenced by online research", according to Dees.

As proof, Dees asks business owners marketing online to consider these five areas before finalizing their internet marketing strategy. Every website needs to address these key areas to boost conversion. They are:

1. Customer Focused – are your keywords geared toward the way ideal prospects are thinking when searching online?

2. Competitive – does the copy on your site include keywords that help your site get found in the search engines?

3. Clear – does each page present a path following a user friendly website-flow to quickly and clearly answer the prospect's questions?

4. Conversion Optimized – are your messages written to prompt clicks leading to sign-ups and sales?

5. Consistent – are the pages of your site connected with a smooth flow and logical messaging?

Additional details are available in a free PDF cheat sheet at http://www.TheWebsiteAnalysis.com.

If you optimize the content of your website around those five areas, you're guaranteed to boost your number of subscribers, customers, and profits. For the business owners using social media marketing, or those wanting to be found via mobile marketing, the five factors mentioned above remain constant.

Ramon Dees, author of How to Avoid the Biggest Mistake Small to Mid-Sized Business Owners Make with Their Marketing Strategy, was recognized with the Zero Adjustments Award by Yellowpages.com for ethical selling. He's was the first marketing coach in Atlanta licensed to implement a system proven to boost sales 19.8 – 103% for the last 21 years.

To improve your internet marketing, download the free cheat sheet with additional details at http://www.TheWebsiteAnalysis.com.

DCMA Collective Signs Mixed Martial Artist Chris Camozzi

DCMA Collective to Make It's First Signature Line for the Sport of Mixed Martial Arts

(PRWEB) April 27, 2011

Chris Camozzi was most recently seen on a fight that took place on the Main Card of UFC 127 and before that was on the Spike TV's UFC based reality show "The Ultimate Fighter". The new relationship includes plans for a Chris Camozzi inspired and DCMA Collective designed apparel and accessories line.

DCMA Collective recently announced that it was entering the Mixed Martial Arts market through a partnership with leading MMA Marketing firm Ingrained Media. The signing of Chris Camozzi marks the next step in this process. While Chris Camozzi is not the most well known MMA Athlete in the sport and he is about to be thrust into the mainstream market. This may seem like an odd strategy to some but not to DCMA.

"We already know how to promote and get the word out. We also know about the struggle that comes before you gain this knowledge. As a Band and as a Brand I have seen the struggle and participated in it. We can afford to sponsor anyone but we choose to sponsor those that are in the struggle and Chris embodies what we are looking for," said Benji Madden co-Founder of DCMA Collective.

DCMA Collective is more then a Skate or Band apparel company it is about a lifestyle and the experiences that are derived from that lifestyle. You simply can't define it, you just have to experience it. DCMA wants to experience MMA at all levels. We thrive and learn from these experiences. Some of the best known MMA Brands were not created in the UFC and DCMA is going to carve out its own niche with in the sport.

"We want to support the sport of MMA. Benji is passionate about MMA. We want to have DCMA Collective ingrained into the sport of MMA at all levels. We feel as if Chris represents that "up and coming" athlete we are excited to be involved with," said Tai Cooperman President of DCMA Collective.

Chris Camoozi is currently is a Free Agent Mixed Martial Artist who lives and trains out of Littleton, Colorado. Chris is 14-4 overall and competes in the 185 pound weight class. Chris is an instructor at FactoryX Muay Thai and when he is not teaching he is training. Chris has fought for some of the most prestigious MMA organizations in the World.

"I was kind of shocked when I heard that DCMA Collective wanted to work with me. These are supposed to be the low points of my career after my most recent loss and having them believe in me has inspired me to work even harder." said Chris Camozzi. "It is an honor to be associated with DCMA and I am looking forward to representing them in and outside of the events."

About DCMA Collective:

DCMA Collective was founded in 2006 by Good Charlotte’s Benji and Joel Madden, their brother Josh Madden and Tal Cooperman. DCMA Collective offers a lifestyle fashion collection for men, women and children. DCMA Collective currently offers apparel, accessories, and footwear all bearing their iconic brass knuckles logo.

A professional MMA competitor since 2006, Camozzi initially fought in local promotions, and then went on to compete for Maximum Fighting Championship, appearing on HDNet Fights on more than one occasion and even winning Fight of the Week. After winning several competitions Camozzi was chosen as a competitor in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s eleventh season of the reality show "The Ultimate Fighter" in 2010.

The Litigation Consulting Report Launches for Litigators

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 02:09 AM PDT

Washington, DC, April 27, 2011 –(PR.com)– Litigators and litigation support professionals have an informative new online resource for staying up-to-date on the latest cutting-edge courtroom strategies and tactics. This publication, called The Litigation Consulting Report, reveals authoritative trial-focused strategies about jury research, the use of trial technology and best practices for using trial graphics. The Litigation Consulting Report is offered free of charge for online subscribers, and those subscribing before May 31, 2011 will be entered into a drawing for an iPad 2.

Animators at Law, the firm responsible for launching the publication, has developed, tested and proven successful thousands of winning trial tactics for major law firms and in-house departments worldwide over the past sixteen years. At the end of first quarter 2011, the firm had already contributed its consulting efforts to the sixth-largest patent verdict in U.S. history. By opening up its valuable private library of persuasion techniques in The Litigation Consulting Report, the firm is providing readers with access to a unique vault of approaches used by the world’s best litigators over the last three decades. Topics covered in The Litigation Consulting Report include:

• methods for testing arguments and trial exhibits in front of mock juries;
• techniques for quickly researching a judge’s likes and dislikes;
• procedures for bringing technology into federal and state courtrooms;
• strategies for sharing technology resources in the courtroom; and
• how best to use trial graphics in bench trials and jury trials.

One recent article, Trial Graphics, Color Choice and Culture, analyzed how the use of various colors on trial exhibits could impact a judge or jury. This article was published in the Practicing Law Institute’s (PLI) Trial By Jury 2011 book. Other recent popular articles have included The Redundancy Effect, PowerPoint and Legal Graphics and Learning About Nuclear Power Plants Through Litigation Graphics. The range of topics will vary, and many articles are directed toward trial presentation as those examples represent an easily shared output of the litigation consulting efforts surrounding trial. All articles provide at least one specific example for the reader that can be put to use immediately in live trial situations.

Animators at Law’s 1995 founding coincides closely with the beginnings of the trial consulting industry as it is known today. The firm is believed to have been the first to use the term “litigation consulting” to describe the process of outside consultants, usually attorneys themselves, advising litigators on trial presentation strategies that will vastly increase their chances of winning. Accordingly, Animators at Law is in a unique position to reveal its knowledge base having amassed more experience than almost any firm solving litigation presentation challenges.

Animators at Law Founder and CEO, Ken Lopez, observed, “I have had the privilege of working directly with hundreds of the world’s best litigators. By publicizing techniques we know to have worked, we are sharing the collective wisdom of the best of the best and are raising the bar on an ongoing basis.” Making reference to the quickly evolving social nature of the litigation consulting industry, Mr. Lopez continued, “As customer relationships become more collaborative than directive, and as industry interaction becomes more of a group conversation than a one-to-one dialog in an anonymous conference room, we all better one another by sharing successes stories and tactics and elevating the standards by which future success is measured.”

And outside, the pogonip swirled and fell, an icy blanket of fog that settled like a shroud over every living thing.

Author of the Hit Play “One Woman, Two Lives,” Launches Second Novel

Author of the Hit Play "One Woman, Two Lives," Launches Second Novel

Dancing Her Dreams Away showcases what so many individuals of all ages have to contend with when it comes to pursuing their dreams. Will the idea of becoming something in the world cause you to lose it all including your life in the process?

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) April 27, 2011

In 2008 and 2009 playwright Alretha Thomas experienced the fulfillment of two dreams — the nation elected Barack Obama, the first African-American president, and her stage play "One Woman, Two Lives" starring Kellita Smith of "Bernie Mac Show" fame, and directed by three-time NAACP Best Director Image Award recipient Denise Dowse, was produced, respectively. Now in 2011, it's her hope her second novel, "Dancing Her Dreams Away," is well-received and leaves an indelible mark on the lives of its readers.

Thomas says her debut novel, "Daughter Denied," about a sensitive and precocious 7-year-old girl who grows up with an abusive stepfather and a mother trapped in a cycle of heroin addiction and co-dependency, is loosely inspired by her childhood. While writing "Dancing Her Dreams Away" she says she drew inspiration from the time in her life when she was pursuing an acting career, and like the protagonist in "Dancing Her Dreams Away," Thomas says she found the road to stardom thorny at best.

In "Dancing Her Dreams Away" 22-year-old Shelia King, a fun-loving grandma's girl, needs to keep her days open for auditions in the hope of landing a role that will catapult her to stardom. With the threat of eviction looming, she scrambles to find a night job and convinces the owner of a hostess club to hire her. Now she's a dance-partner-for-hire by night and struggling thespian by day. When her agent pitches a topless role, fearing her grandmother's disapproval, Shelia declines. But after setbacks and considerable thought, she agrees to meet the producer. Gregory Livingston III is rich, suave, ridiculously fine, and the panacea for Shelia's career woes. At first sight she shapes plans to win the role and his heart. She gets both and works hard to give an Oscar worthy performance. However, when the movie wraps, nothing can prepare her for the startling revelations about Greg's past and the aftermath of a dream gone awry.

Thomas says she hopes readers embrace the theme of "Dancing Her Dreams Away." When asked what that is she replied, "It's something that's taken a lifetime for me to personally embrace and that is, that every human being has intrinsic value and that value is not determined by the color of their skin or the amount of talent or money they have."

"Dancing Her Dreams Away" is now available on Amazon.com. The official launch party is June 11, 2011 at Stage 52, 5299 W. Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90016, 1-5pm.

Thomas grew up in San Francisco, California. She attended the University of Southern California earning a BA in Journalism. She currently resides in Southern, CA with her husband. She is available for literary events, interviews, online chats, book club meetings, luncheons, churches, speaking engagements, and conferences. For more information about "Dancing Her Dreams Away" please visit the official website at http://www.Dancingherdreamsaway.com or call 626-858-1907.

ecoInsight Releases iPad Energy Audit App for Lighting Professionals

ecoInsight Mobile Audit for IPad, an automated energy audit application, is now available. The iPad application along with ecoInsight's online software, reduces the time it takes to plan and propose a lighting retrofit project by 30-40%.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 27, 2011

ecoInsight today announced the general availability of its Mobile Audit for IPad application. ecoInsight Mobile Audit for iPad is an automated energy audit application that allows professionals to digitally collect building data while walking through a building.

The value of the iPad application is its seamless integration with ecoInsight's online retrofit analysis and proposal development software. Once a professional has completed a lighting audit in the field, the data is uploaded to the cloud for further analysis and customer proposal development.

Over 60 electrical distributors, manufacturers and energy services companies have signed up to use ecoInsight's integrated mobile and on-demand applications. The applications provide lighting professionals with tools to reduce the time it takes to plan and propose a lighting retrofit project by 30-40%.

"The momentum we've been able to achieve to this point is a testament to the productivity and sales gains that are possible with a solution like ecoInsight," said Sean McCloskey, CEO, ecoInsight. "The release of our iPad application further extends the solution's value to lighting and energy professionals by delivering a tool to electronically record data in the field… a process that has traditionally been done with a notepad and pen."

The company recently completed a successful beta program with members of the National Association of Electrical Distributors' (NAED) Energy Audit Task Force. Task force members provided invaluable input and were instrumental in the development of the various components of the software from the audit tool component through the reports generated.

"Today, we field-collect audit data manually for various projects and they're sitting in stacks of folders about a foot high," said Doug Borchers, Vice President at Dickman Supply Company and NAED Task Force Member. "By collecting data electronically in the field with an iPad, somebody could have the analysis done by the time we returned from the audit site."

The iPad application not only allows internal project teams to be more efficient and streamline business processes, but also provides a platform for collaboration among business partners and customers.

Future versions of the ecoInsight solution will include additional building audit and analysis capabilities in the areas of renewables, mechanical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

The iPad application is free to ecoInsight customers and can be downloaded from the App Store at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ecoinsight-mobile-audit/id426423592?mt=8&ls=1.

Father Robert Barron to offer commentary on NBC News at the Pope’s Beautification in Rome on May 1

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 12:54 AM PDT

Father Robert Barron to offer commentary on NBC News at the Pope's Beautification in Rome on May 1

Barron was selected for his in-depth knowledge of Pope John Paul and the history of the Catholic Church. A ten part series documenting the history of the church and Catholicism, written and hosted by Father Barron, is set for release this Fall.

(PRWEB) April 27, 2011

Renowned theologian, Father Robert Barron, will offer commentary on all NBC Network News programming during Pope John Paul II's beatification on May 1. Barron was selected for his in-depth knowledge of Pope John Paul II and will be in Rome covering the event.

On May 1, Pope Benedict XVI will celebrate the Solemn Mass and Beatification before hundreds of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square and for millions of television viewers around the world. This is the first time a pope has beatified his immediate predecessor.

Over three million people journeyed to Rome for Pope John Paul II's funeral in 2005, at which the crowds chanted "Santo Subito" meaning "sainthood now" in Italian. Predictions are at least that many people, and possibly more, will make the pilgrimage for the Mass and Beatification. More than 400,000 pilgrims are expected from John Paul's native Poland alone.

The choice of May 1, the first Sunday after Easter, is also significant. John Paul II declared the first Sunday after Easter to be "Divine Mercy Sunday" in the year 2000. This date is also associated with totalitarian communist regimes as "May Day." Pope John Paul II worked tirelessly to advance the cause of human rights for those who suffered under the oppression of Communist dictatorships, both in his native Poland and around the world.

Father Robert Barron is the founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, a global, non-profit media group. He is an acclaimed author, theologian, and the Francis Cardinal George Professor of Faith and Culture at Mundelein Seminary near Chicago.

Ordained in 1986, Fr. Barron has published numerous books, essays and DVD programs. He is a frequent commentator on faith and culture for The Chicago Tribune, NBC Nightly News, FOX News, Our Sunday Visitor, The Catholic Herald in London, the Washington Post, CNN and the Catholic New World. He lectures extensively in the United States and abroad, including the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas In Rome. Fr. Barron received his Master's Degree in Philosophy from the Catholic University of America and a doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Institut Catholique de Paris. Cardinal Francis George calls Father Barron "one of the Church's best messengers."

Word on Fire (http://www.WordonFire.org) reaches millions of people through its weekly programs on Relevant Radio, EWTN, the popular Word on Fire YouTube Channel, and the Word on Fire website, which offers daily blogs, articles, commentaries and over ten years of weekly sermon podcasts.

MSNBC will start live coverage of the Beatification Mass at 4:00 AM Eastern on Sunday, May 1.

The Art of Giving Back: Spiffy Press Announces Sponsorship of Armory Center for the Arts

Pasadena-based letterpress design and printing business to donate portion of Design Show proceeds in support of community-based arts programs.

3rd Annual Unique LA Spring Design Show, May 7–8, 2011, Downtown Los Angeles, CA.

Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2011

Local letterpress design and printing business Spiffy Press announced their sponsorship of the Armory Center For The Arts today. Spiffy Press will donate a portion of their revenue generated at the upcoming Unique LA Spring Show in support of the Armory's community-based art programs. Unique LA runs Mother's Day weekend (May 7–8, 2011, 11am-6pm) at the California Market Center Penthouse (110 E. 9th St., LA, CA 90079). Unique LA is open to the public. Admission is $10 at the door (free to kids under 12).

Unique LA admission includes a limited edition tote, free drinks, hosted bar, DIY workshops, and more. Unique LA is the largest independent design and gift show in the country. It began as a way to bring together local vendors and shoppers with a keen interest in innovative, contemporary art and design; locally made goods; eco-awareness; and charitable giving. Its focus remains the same today.

Spiffy Press' current sponsorship of the Armory is the result of a nine-year philanthropic relationship between the Armory and Spiffy Press Owner Scott Wallin and is grounded in the belief that art educates, heals, and transforms lives and communities. "During a challenging economy, it's critical to include art in our daily lives," shares Armory Director of Communications, Jon Lapointe. He adds, "for many businesses hit hard by the economy, the knee-jerk reaction is to scale-back and give less. Spiffy Press' support is unique in this regard and a reminder of how vital arts are to our community."

Scott Wallin, Owner of Spiffy Press, said, "As an artist and graphic designer, I have a strong connection to the work of the Pasadena Armory and deep belief in the positive impact the arts can have on people's lives."

Belize Real Estate. Coldwell Banker Ambergris Caye Announces the Sale of the Largest Development Parcel in San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye

Coldwell Banker Ambergris Caye LTD is offering for sale the largest available development parcel in San Pedro Town Ambergris Caye-no. 1 tourist and retirement destination in Belize. 80 acre lagoon front parcel with all the utilities for the price of $4,000,000 US

San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye, Belize (PRWEB) April 27, 2011

THE BEST OF CARIBBEAN REAL ESTATE! 80 ACRES IN THE HEART OF SAN PEDRO TOWN!

Attention investors and developers! Residential and commercial real estate market in Belize is experiencing rapid increase in sales. Baby boomers retirement trends and safe landing policies of Belize Banks have saved the Belize real estate market. Rapid rise of Canadian dollar makes the properties in Belize really affordable for Canadians. In addition many American buyer are looking to diversify their investments and have a free and clear property outside of the United States. Our office is happy to offer for sale 80 acre parcel located in San Pedro Town-no. 1 tourist and retirement destination in Belize. It is the largest available development parcel in San Pedro Town and it has electricity at the property. All other utilities including town water,

sewer , internet and telephone cables are at the lot line. Property also features 3500 ft of waterfront and it overlooks the recently build high end contemporary villas and condominiums of Costa Del Sol that are located across the vast and tranquil San Pedro lagoon.

The property is offered at a well below market price of $4,000,000 US and seller`s financing is available.

The highest and best use for this property would be a residential development of gated canal front lots community. Currently there is only one available canal front lots community on Ambergris Caye. It is called Grand Oasis.

Grand Oasis-San Pedro`s first gated high end residential community of 420 canal front villas just announced its grand opening and sales have been brisk. Grand Oasis is situated on 64 acres , so its safe to assume that 80 acres would easily accommodate 500 or more lots. While Grand Oasis is not selling individual canal front lots to public, the prices of the villas- over 375,000 US each suggest that price of the lots in this community is well over $100,000 US each. It is safe to assume that developer of the 80 acre parcel offered here would gross over $50,000,000 US . from the sales of 500 canal front lots. Our preliminary calculations suggest that it will cost around $5,000,000 US to develop said 80 acre parcel into +/- 500 canal front lots. Marketing expenses would be in the $1 mil US range.

Therefore net profit from the developing the 80 acre parcel into canal front lots gated community would be around $40,000,000 US or a 500% return on the investment.

Pardon Services Canada Introduces ‘Guaranteed Financing For All’ Program

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 12:53 AM PDT

Pardon Services Canada Introduces 'Guaranteed Financing For All' Program

Pardon Services Canada introduces guaranteed financing for individuals burdened by the cost of obtaining a legal pardon in Canada.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) April 27, 2011

Canadians besieged with a criminal record have a new measure of relief with Pardon Services Canada's new 'Guaranteed Financing For All' program. Regardless of service – a standard pardon application or the new 'Express Pardon Application'- interested clients may now choose to securely defer to easy and manageable monthly payments instead of an initial upfront lump sum payment.

Understanding that payment plans and monthly payments are the well accepted norm for many Canadians, Pardon Services Canada's new payment program is an immediate relief to anyone who is beginning the pardon process and worried about being able to afford it. Requests for financing are approved immediately, meaning that the actual application process begins right then and there. Pardon Services Canada clients do not have to 'save' for their record suspensions or dip into their savings accounts.

"Over 13% of Canadians have a criminal record. With increases in cost of living, wage freezes, and everyday expenses – the real cost of a past indiscretion has never been felt so hard in the pocketbook for the average Canadian living with a criminal record." says Michael Maenck, Marketing Director of Pardon Services Canada. "Include the fact that the actual cost for a pardon has increased over 300% this year alone the real and immediate benefit of the Guaranteed Financing For All program just makes sense."

Added Value: In addition to guaranteed financing, Pardon Services Canada offers more payment options than any other company providing a similar service. The ease, quickness, and convenience of payments are really just a reflection of the overall quality of service clients can expect from Pardon Services Canada.

Pardon Services Canada offers the following easy, quick, and convenient payment options in person, over the phone and via the web site http://www.PardonServicesCanada.com:

Online Banking – with TD, CIBC, National Bank, RBC, Scotia, BMO, or your Credit Union.
Credit Card – with Visa, Mastercard or American Express
Traditional – with Money Order, Cash or Cheque
eWallet – with PayPal

Further, over the course of the application process, clients are afforded the option to change or modify their payment plans to reflect changes in their lives.

"Obtaining a criminal pardon is a right for any Canadian convicted of a past transgression after they have fulfilled their sentence, but the cost of a pardon has greatly increased and the Government is considering increasing it again." says Azmairnin Jadavji, President of Pardon Services Canada. "Simply being able to afford to apply for a pardon should not be limited to the rich."

About Pardon Services Canada

Established in 1989, Pardon Services Canada was the first pardon company in Canada. For over 20 years Pardon Services Canada has helped over 100,000 Canadians obtain Pardons and U.S. Entry Waivers. As an RCMP accredited organization, Pardon Services Canada has long established working relationships with all police forces and courts in Canada as well as the Parole Board of Canada and U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The Denver event featured more than 300 women entrepreneurs from across the nation pitching their businesses, participating in business growth education sessions, and building business opportunities with each other.

Described as a cross between "The Apprentice" and "American Idol," the M3 1000 pitch competition invites women business owners with at least $85,000 in annual business revenues that have been in business for two years or more to present their business in a two minute "elevator pitch" to a panel of small business experts and judges. Pitch Winners came away with a $1000 American Express gift card, an introductory cycle of professional coaching, and a chance to participate in the next round of competition to win a coveted spot in the renowned Make Mine a Million business development program, along with a business development package that includes additional cycles of coaching, national PR, and financing assistance to help their businesses grow into million-dollar enterprises. A complete list of M3 1000 Denver pitch winners can be found at http://www.makemineamillion.org/features/m3-1000.

About Meg Connell: Following a natural progression from her years of organizational experience in corporate America for a Fortune 500 consulting firm combined with her degree in Interior Design and Architecture, in 1997 Meg Connell established her private organizing practice. In her role as TheOrganizedOne, Meg's unique combination of skills has enabled her to provide estate organizing services to a wide range of clients.

Meg is also a Board Member of the East Bay Estate Planning Council. In addition to serving a variety of clients in her booming organizing practice, Meg starred in the 2005 British comedy television series "The C.H.A.O.S. Clinic." (C.H.A.O.S. is a popular organizing industry acronym: Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome.) The show is a tongue-in-cheek reality-based depiction of a self–help clinic as last hope for people afflicted with hoarding, lack of time management, and chronic disorganization—all symptoms of C.H.A.O.S. Using an irony-laced, spirited and creative approach to helping the Clinic's members (offered via a series of group meetings and home interventions), Meg led the group through a six–step recovery program to achieving streamlined success.

About Make Mine a Million $ Business: Launched in 2005 by Count Me In for Women's Economic Independence and founding partner American Express OPEN, the Make Mine a Million $ Business program was created to help post-start up, women-owned businesses grow to one million dollars in annual revenue.

"We are thrilled by the eagerness of women across the country to grow their businesses, create jobs in their communities, and create stability for their families and the national economy," said Nell Merlino, Founder and President of Count Me In.

Zelen Communications Design Mind behind “The Making of a Championship Heart” Book

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 12:52 AM PDT

Zelen Communications Design Mind behind "The Making of a Championship Heart" Book

Big, bold coffee table book about the New York Yankees' 2009 championship season supports pediatric cancer patients and other charitable organizations

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) April 27, 2011

In 2008, Tampa attorney Steve Yerrid hit upon the idea to create a big book about a big team, the New York Yankees, which has a long spring training history with this Florida city, for a big cause. The book was conceived to inspire pediatric cancer patients and their families, one of the many causes Mr. Yerrid's foundation supports to help children.

The dedication reads, "Those involved in the creation of this book dedicate the thoughts, principles, and love it contains to the increasing number of pediatric cancer patients who have won the battle against this dreaded disease, those young people who are currently fighting for their lives, and to the memory of the courageous angels who are no longer with us."

When Mr. Yerrid approached his "dear friend with a great heart," George Steinbrenner, about the project, Mr. Steinbrenner wholeheartedly embraced the concept. He granted full access to the entire Yankees organization to fulfill this vision and, after his death in 2010, his children, Hal, Hank, Jenny, and Jessica, along with their mother Joan, continued their unconditional support.

Mr. Yerrid followed the Yankees throughout the 2009 season, from the first spring training game against the Philadelphia Phillies through the World Series triumph against the same team. He personally interviewed the players, coaches, and support staff, the results of which, along with hundreds of photos supplied by the Yankees organization, became the foundation for “The Making of a Championship Heart”.

Once he amassed the material for this epic project, Mr. Yerrid teamed up with Kelly Storm of Storm & Ford and Terry Zelen of Zelen Communications to design and produce the book. Ms. Storm managed the print production, including the basic content and flow of the book, working directly with Zelen Communications.

The 288-page tome, subtitled, Lessons Learned from Baseball and Life, features individual chapters about the attributes that are so much a part of the champion's make-up, including Preparation, Effort, Confidence, Attitude and Vision, among others. The imagery and accompanying quotes culled from Mr. Yerrid's lengthy interviews relate to the described quality. Mr. Zelen incorporated a broad color palette to define each chapter with its own individual hue. He also interspersed historical photos among the new to exemplify the Yankees' winning tradition. The project required more than a year of effort to bring to print.

Mr. Yerrid said of his relationship with the design team, "I am grateful for the opportunity to work with the best. This group is certainly in that class. The designing and collaboration was outstanding. It was an honor to work with professionals of the highest caliber and I look forward to our future projects."

The Making of a Championship Heart, Lessons Learned from Baseball and Life, was published by SunTide Publishing and is available at Barnes & Noble, Borders, and Amazon or at its web site, http://www.championshipheart.com. Significant proceeds from the book will go directly to a number of worthy charitable organizations.

ProTrak International Announces Enhanced User Experience for BlackBerry Users

ProTrak International announced the release of ProTrak Mobile 2.1, an upgrade to the BlackBerry component for their popular CRM application. ProTrak Mobile 2.1, which will be released to clients in the coming weeks, not only provides users with enhanced performance but let's them customize the information available on their BlackBerrys without any programming assistance or customization required from ProTrak.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 27, 2011

ProTrak International today announced the release of ProTrak Mobile 2.1, an upgrade to the BlackBerry component for their popular CRM application. ProTrak Mobile 2.1, which will be released to clients in the coming weeks, not only provides users with enhanced performance but let's them customize the information available on their BlackBerrys without any programming assistance or customization required from ProTrak.

ProTrak Advantage CRM presently gives users the ability to easily add new user-defined fields to the various profile screens such as Investor, Consultant, Manager, Contact, or Activity/Follow-up. With ProTrak Mobile 2.1, the ProTrak Administrator will simply "check" the data items that are needed on the users' BlackBerrys and, the next time users login to the application they are able to view, add or update information for any of the new fields.

"This enhanced data functionality brings our mobile smartphone solution even closer to the full functionality of our core CRM platform, said Simon Koziel, President of ProTrak. We specifically designed and developed ProTrak Mobile from the ground up, instead of simply placing a pre-developed BlackBerry package on top of ProTrak, to give our users transparency and ease of use whether they are in the office or on the road, added Koziel." For example, ProTrak CRM includes a “Send and Add to ProTrak” option in Outlook e-mail. And, ProTrak Mobile lets users Send and Add e-mails to ProTrak whether they are in their BlackBerry Contacts’ Address Book or in the ProTrak Mobile application.

Another important addition included in ProTrak Mobile 2.1 is the ability for users to easily add new contacts "on the fly" to the ProTrak database, if the contacts in an e-mail received on the BlackBerry do not currently exist in the CRM database. ProTrak Advantage CRM includes a user-friendly algorithm for adding unmatched e-mail contacts and this functionality has now been extended to ProTrak Mobile.

"We certainly understand the importance of mobile computing and portability, said Koziel. In fact, we are actively exploring the Apple IPad and other tablet formats as additional platforms for our mobile users."

About ProTrak International, Inc.

ProTrak, a recognized innovator and industry veteran, has been providing best-of-breed client relationship management (CRM) solutions to the investment management community for over 20 years.

NSCAA is the largest coaching association in the world and, since its founding in 1941, has grown to include more than 30,000 members who coach both genders at all levels of the sport. This award for Bubb brings national-level recognition of him, but also recognition of the strength of Austin-area youth soccer.

Lonestar moves into national spotlight under the leadership of Sean Bubb, recognition by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)

Paul Payne, president of the NSCAA, commented, "This award is quite a testament to the outstanding work that Sean has done over the years to grow the game at the youth level. To be recognized by your coaching peers with the Youth National Coach of the Year award puts him in elite company among coaches who are involved in youth soccer. His tireless efforts to promote the game as well as his commitment to teaching the players make him a worthy recipient of this award. On behalf of the NSCAA we offer congratulations."

Upon receiving the award Bubb commented, “This is an award for the entire club, the players, staff and volunteers. It is recognition of the hard work put in day after day by the players and coaches.” He added, “We are very proud of the opportunities our players and teams now have."

Coach Bubb, a native of Rossington, England, grew up playing soccer, the game he loved. He switched from playing to coaching in 1989 when he moved to the US and became the assistant coach at UNC-Charlotte. Sean progressed through the coaching ranks with experience in the college game and the youth game.

Since 1990, Sean has coached numerous regional and national level players and teams in North Carolina and, more recently, in Austin, while also being a part of the Olympic Development Program Region III staff for 15 years.

In 2000 Sean earned the UEFA 'A' Coaching License, at Stranmillis University College, Belfast, from the Irish Football Association (IFA). "We want to congratulate Sean on achieving this award following so many years of service to the great game. It's exciting to see the growth of the game in America," said Nigel Best, Performance Manager and Head of Coach Education at the Irish Football Association.

Austin-area Lonestar Soccer Club president, Rod Favaron, believes the award is just the beginning for Lonestar, "This is great for Sean and the club is very proud of his achievement, though it comes as no surprise. We have seen Sean work tirelessly for six years since arriving in Austin to ensure our players and teams are successful, on and off the field."

Lonestar Soccer Club is one of a handful of Nike Premier Soccer Clubs around the US. Through this relationship, Nike works with Lonestar coaches to provide better competitions for players, better equipment, training and coaches education. “Nike is honored to be partners with Lonestar Soccer Club and we are proud of Sean Bubb’s success and accomplishments at the Club,” said Joe Elsmore, director of Nike Soccer Sports Marketing.

New D-Sub Connector Provides Gigabit Ethernet Speeds With Superior Shielding Performance

Ruggedized Quadrax D-Sub Style Connector Supports Cable-to-Cable and Cable-to-Board Configurations

Harrisburg, Pa (PRWEB) April 27, 2011

TE Connectivity (TE) introduces the Quadrax D-Sub style connector for military and commercial aerospace environments. The new connector was designed to provide a gigabit Ethernet solution in an industry standard D-Sub platform, while offering superior shielding performance.

The Quadrax D-Sub style connector was created to meet the high-speed data rate needs in commercial avionics, aircraft data networks, in-flight entertainment systems and military communications applications. The rugged metal shell construction provides four Quadrax connections in a size 3 shell with a 0.5" x 2.0" window, and supports both cable-to-cable and cable-to-board configurations. It serves as a low-profile alternative to the Circular 38999 Style Connectors, providing the perfect solution for cable-to-PWB high-speed interconnect.

The easy-to-assemble connector features cable applied plug and receptacle, along with Right Angle PCB Mount receptacle. It also meets the requirements of TIA/EIA-568-B.2 for insertion loss, return lost, as well as near end crosstalk (NEXT) and far end crosstalk (FEXT).
