| Posted: 07 May 2011 04:27 AM PDT Peabody, MA, May 07, 2011 –(PR.com)– 07:11 AM: WAQY’s hit morning show Bax and O’Brien banter back and forth about which of them is a Liar. Moments later, Massachusetts Private Investigator, Michael Coller gets on the air and his first words are "Good morning gentlemen, for the record…You Are Both Liars!" The next 12 minutes of the interview proved to be entertaining and well as extremely informative. Bax and O’Brien questioned Mr. Coller about his "7 Signs of Lying" CD and about how listeners can catch someone telling a lie. Mr. Coller touched on his "Honesty" model, to easily recall the tell-tell signs that a liar will demonstrate: H-Hands In his new CD, Mr. Coller speaks in detail about each of the signs as well as giving listeners an opportunity to participate in a one-of-a-kind mental visual imagery. As any elite athlete prepares in their mind prior to a competition, Mr. Coller trains listeners to use the power of their mind to rehearse the scenario with the suspected liar, before actually performing it. This way the listener will feel relaxed while questioning the subject. Mr. Coller also explained that a "base line" is created after questioning a subject repeatedly on questions that will provide a truthful answer. After many of these questions, subjects will appear "different" if they are asked a question and respond with a lie. Listeners were engaged for the entire interview and surely entertained as well. The interview can be found at www.MichaelColler.com Based near Springfield, Massachusetts, WAQY talk show hosts, Michael A. Baxendale and John O’Brien, have had the most listened to and influential radio show in Western New England since 1995. Private Investigator, Michael A.

| LEA Warns Olympic Fans To Book Flights Early For London 2012 Posted: 07 May 2011 01:45 AM PDT LEA Warns Olympic Fans To Book Flights Early For London 2012 If you want the most convenient travel to and from the London Olympics next summer, chartering a business jet is the natural choice – but early booking will be essential. London, England (PRWEB UK) 7 May 2011 If you want the most convenient travel to and from the London Olympics next summer, chartering a business jet is the natural choice – but early booking will be essential. Patrick Margetson-Rushmore, chief executive of London Executive Aviation (LEA), one of Europe's largest executive aircraft charter operators, says heavy demand for airline seats and airspace restrictions surrounding the Olympic Park will limit last-minute travel decisions. Margetson-Rushmore says: "From July 13 to September 12, 2012, there will be an inner prohibited airspace zone and an outer restricted zone, about 60 nautical miles across, centred on the Olympic Park. Business jet passengers, who ordinarily expect to be able to charter a flight at very short notice, should be warned that such flexibility may not be possible in these exceptional circumstances. If customers are serious about chartering next summer, we are urging them to book early to ensure an aircraft is available and that there is time to have the flight approved." Only aircraft operating commercial services and meeting strict security requirements, such as LEA's diverse charter fleet of 25 jets, will normally be permitted to fly in the prohibited zone. Even aircraft operating in the wider restricted zone will need to satisfy certain requirements to ensure clear identification and monitoring by air traffic control. Margetson-Rushmore continues: "For an operator like LEA, we must understand the consequences of the airspace restrictions and then communicate those consequences to customers. The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), air traffic control provider NATS, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Department for Transport (DfT) are among the many bodies with whom we will be liaising to ensure we operate safely and efficiently within the restrictions." LEA operates seven bases around London, so Margetson-Rushmore says: "Despite the challenges, if somebody suddenly needs to travel to – or especially from – the Games, LEA will be able to offer a far better and faster option than a fully-booked scheduled airline or a business jet operator based in mainland Europe."

| A Generation of Children Turn Their Backs on Sport, The G3 Program Offers a Solution Posted: 07 May 2011 01:45 AM PDT A Generation of Children Turn Their Backs on Sport, The G3 Program Offers a Solution Maggie Ayre, Fitness Coach for Teenage Girls, says "it's time we started listening to what children and teenagers want" following yet another study showing activity levels amongst children are dropping at an alarming rate. They want activity as part of the school day and they want a move away from traditional PE and competitive sports and towards fun and varied activities. Maggie's new G3 Program offers a solution for schools in the UK. London (PRWEB UK) 7 May 2011 The BBC has reported today about the growing number of children who aren't regularly involved in sport, fitness or physical activity. Experts are calling for greater Government action and the development of programmes designed to encourage physical activity within the school day. The new G3 Program from Maggie Ayre offers a solution to schools that children will love. The BBC report follows the publication of a survey by the Tata Kids of Steel triathlon series. The survey included 1500 children aged 6-15 and discovered that 22% had never run as far as 400m. In the week before the survey only 46% had ridden a bicycle and 34% had swum the length of a swimming pool. Other studies support the findings of this research. A recent study published by Dr Phillip Nader at the University of California reported that as kids grow from pre-pubescence into teens their rate of activity sharply declines. His research followed 1000 children in the US for 6 years and discovered that whilst the average nine year old managed three hours of moderate activity every day this had decreased to just 49 minutes by the time they were 15. Dr Nader's recommendation that there should be greater Government action and programmes designed to encourage physical activity within school is supported both by teenagers and fitness professionals. In recent years the emphasis has been placed on children and teenagers to find their own time to exercise as school time is increasingly prioritised to theoretical study. But teenagers argue that their free time, usually no more than a couple of hours a day once homework has been done, shouldn't be filled with exercise. One girl asks; "Why would a teenager want to spend their free time doing exercise especially when the less you exercise the harder and less enjoyable it gets?" After just a couple of mainly sedentary months exercise can seem like an unattainable dream. She goes on to argue that by the time a teenager has the maturity to realise that exercise is important they have probably gone for so long without exercise that it is very difficult to get back into it. Instead teenagers are asking for exercise to be part of the school day. "Schools have so much control over the lives of teenagers they should spend more time teaching them good habits". Teenagers aren't looking for more netball, hockey or football they're looking for new activities. Young people want activities that will show them results within a short period of time and help them to build the habit of exercise. The brand new G3 Program has been specifically designed to get teenage girls re-engaged with physical activity. Using fun, motivational exercise sessions as well as goal setting and nutrition advice the aim of the program is firstly to show girls that being active is fun and then to develop the habit of regular exercise and healthy eating. Maggie Ayre is seen as a leader in her field; making it fun and cool to be fit and healthy. Previously Maggie has been both an international athlete and a Personal Trainer but for the last two years she has specialised in Fitness for Teenage Girls and has a goal to Get Every Teen Girl Active. She has had great success getting girls who have decided they "don't do exercise" to re-engage with fitness and healthy eating.

| IRSMadeEasy.com Announces Debut of Their New Tax Resolution Service Posted: 07 May 2011 01:00 AM PDT IRSMadeEasy.com Announces Debut of Their New Tax Resolution Service According to the IRS, there were approximately 3.5 million IRS wage garnishments and bank levies filed against taxpayers in 2009. IRS MADE EASY, a high quality and low priced program, allows taxpayers to resolve their issues with the IRS in a quick and easy format. At a time when more levies and garnishments are being handed out by the IRS, this new and innovative program is designed with the consumer in mind. Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 There are fewer and fewer resources available to help taxpayers learn how to properly deal with the IRS. Taxpayer advocate Nina Olson notes that the IRS has ramped up its spending on "hard core" enforcement and the handing out of levies. At the same time, spending has declined on the type of services that help Americans understand how to pay their taxes. This is why IRS MADE EASY launched its website and innovative program this month: to be an ideal solution for tax-related problems—all without an expensive tax resolution firm. At IRSMADEEASY.com, taxpayers can resolve IRS problems themselves. IRS MADE EASY's revolutionary DO-IT-WITH-US® program provides consumers with the know-how, tools, and ongoing support they need to get to the bottom of their tax problems – at a fraction of the cost. Part of what IRS MADE EASY does is lets the consumers educate themselves on their own tax issues and also offers a big helping hand through the process. As a result, more people may be empowered to solve their tax issues. Designed to provide taxpayers with a straightforward and step-by-step process to settle their IRS problems, this program can save the average consumer thousands of dollars by following the DO-IT-WITH-US® approach to tax resolution. It includes all of the necessary forms and step-by-step instructions in a format that's 90% support and 10% paperwork; something that's never been done in other tax resolution systems. IRS MADE EASY is being offered for a limited time introductory price of $499 and includes 60 days of unlimited document review and support by a team of Tax Professionals and CPAs. IRS MADE EASY can walk a program user through the processes involved in stopping IRS wage garnishment, stopping an IRS lien or bank levy, and settling tax issues for less than owed. With a 100% money back guarantee, there's never been a better time for taxpayers to resolve their tax problems with IRS MADE EASY. The IRS has ramped up its spending on tax enforcement. Those with tax resolution needs are advised to act now. The newly launched IRS MADE EASY program is the latest solution to those needs. ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8380879.htm

| Reseller Clients Entrench Themselves as Top Email Marketing Users Posted: 07 May 2011 01:00 AM PDT Reseller Clients Entrench Themselves as Top Email Marketing Users Gleaned from GraphicMail's most recent sales statistics, spanning from May 2010 to May 2011, email product resellers have taken a clear foothold as big spenders in the direct email marketing industry, representing 24% of GraphicMail's total income bracket. (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 With the market full of online, do-it-yourself newsletter services it's no surprise that the reseller sector has seen a steady ascension up the usage ranks. Resellers provide a viable option for companies that do not have the staff-complement to manage their own email newsletter production and distribution, as well as for those who simply want to focus on their brand and their clients' needs without having to tango with technology. Resellers commonly utilize specialized teams of designers, writers and PR experts to supply businesses with email newsletters that are both professionally produced and fully customized to their brand and content requirements. The market for resellers is supported mainly by the Advertising and Retail industries, which are GraphicMail's chief sources of income, together constituting 45% of annual income per industry. Staying in touch and finding ways to interact with customers while offering useful and practical information is crucial in earning their loyalty. And nurturing these relationships is a vital means of securing recommendations to other potential clients. The email channel provides a highly cost-effective method with which to achieve this, and resellers are an important link in the chain as they bridge the gap between email marketing concept and delivery for those companies and individuals that are looking to obtain a bespoke newsletter, without having to master the intricacies of the platform themselves. GraphicMail offers a high quality, white-label email and mobile reseller product with draw-cards such as co-branded or fully branded options, dedicated support, API access for easy integration, tracking tools to justify return-on-investment and a host of marketing and help materials. One of the many resellers that rely on GraphicMail's products and for whom the concept has really worked is Davemail, a marketing firm that produces email newsletters. This company continues to work with GraphicMail as its email service provider to deliver its e-communications due to the service's world presence, reliability and innovation. Founder Dave Fiore stated that his business has found that with the current economic obstacles, their customers are focused more on building loyalty with existing clients rather than attracting new ones, and email newsletters present the most cost effective solution to accomplish this. “GraphicMail is an amazing business partner and a huge reason why my business is a success!” — Dave Fiore, davemail.com # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8372039.htm

| Chensun Mills on Solving Social Problems Through Entrepreneurship Posted: 07 May 2011 01:00 AM PDT Chensun Mills on Solving Social Problems Through Entrepreneurship Chensun Mills discusses the new breed of entrepreneurs with a focus on social solutions Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 Chensun Mills comments on the new breed of entrepreneurs who solve the world's problems through social ventures. "Success is measured not only by profits, but the social value the solution provides," explains Chensun Mills. The aim of social ventures tends to be long-term sustainable social change as opposed to addressing more immediate and shorter-term problems. Highly innovative examples are demonstrated by NYU Stern's Berkeley Center for Entrepreneurship during their recent annual 2011 Social Ventures Competition held at the end of April. The winning team, See and Be Seen LLC addresses a leading cause of death in Africa in road traffic injuries by providing a simple solution of backpacks with reflector tape. By producing and distributing reflector-enhanced book bags made for African children ages 5-14 in Tanzania and Ghana, See and Be Seen has helped school age children, who without the benefits of street signs, street lights, or sidewalks, have become more visible to drivers while they walk along dimly-lit roadsides. See and Be Seen is a great example of solving a social problem that takes into cultural, economic, and geographic considerations in mind. Often at times, social entrepreneurs do not fully take into consideration these variables in the equation as they come up with potential social solutions. Therefore, many social solutions fail because assumptions are often made based on the success of solutions in developed countries. By not fully researching or understanding the differences caused by cultural, economic or geographic factors, the "social problem" tend not to be fully addressed or addressed at all. David Bornstein, author of How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas, explains that the job of a social entrepreneur is to recognize when a part of society is stuck and to provide new ways to get it unstuck. He or she finds what is not working and solves the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution and persuading entire societies to take new leaps. The outlook for mission-oriented ventures is encouraging as more and more work of social entrepreneurs is being showcased and valued. Chensun Mills notes the increase focus of business schools on applying conventional business models to deliver social and environmental returns. "In addition, the entrepreneurial spirit now seems to gather momentum even before business school age." Chensun Mills comments. "I recently learned that there are high-caliber entrepreneurial competitions even at the high school level, and we certainly hope that this promising trend of developing young leaders to take ownership in solving the world's problems will continue to gain momentum." About Chensun Mills: Chensun Mills is an accomplished professional in business and education. She earned her MA in Gifted Education from Columbia University's Teacher's College and currently serves as the Chief Business Development Officer for The Global Leaders, an organization focused on helping communities to help each other. ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8391397.htm

Susan Wysocki, nurse practitioner and President and CEO of the National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health, will be on genConnect.com addressing the subject of contraceptive use during women’s life stages. “There are few decisions in women’s lives that can span up to three decades,” said Wysocki, who also stars in the groundbreaking menopause documentary “Hot Flash Havoc.” http://www.hotflashhavoc.net/index.php?page=Buy-DVD-Affiliate “Deciding on a contraceptive method is one of those issues. What is right for a woman in her twenties, may not be the best choice in her forties. On the other hand, women might find that the method she used in her twenties, is even better for her now that she is in her forties. There are many contraceptive methods that women can choose from–even some that she might never have been told about. The best choices come from the having the most options.” Founded in 1980, the NPWH represents nurse practitioners providing quality health care to women of all ages. The NPWH works with nurses, medical professionals, the medical and women’s health community. Thousands of women and nurse practitioners are expected to go to genConnect.com Thursday night to join in an open and honest conversation. “genConnect.com is bringing vital women’s health information to web users around the globe,” said Randi Zucker, genConnect Sr Web Editor. “Some women and cultures find it taboo to speak publicly about their love lives, birth control and hormones.

| Cloud Faxing Becomes Key Solution for Business Managers Posted: 07 May 2011 12:59 AM PDT Cloud Faxing Becomes Key Solution for Business Managers Cloud Faxing Services are Quickly Replacing Internal Fax Servers and Fax Lines to Cut Costs, Reduce Paper, and Route Documents More Easily and Securely Orchard Park, NY (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 Cloud Faxing for enterprises and corporations is becoming the option of choice for large to small companies, especially those with dispersed geographic locations. This is particularly true for entities with large fax volumes, who are looking to improve efficiencies and gain a competitive advantage. While overall fax volumes have declined somewhat with the advent of email, faxing still remains a vital tool in business communications, particularly in the financial, insurance and healthcare industries. Managers are pointing to a number of reasons that are driving this conversion, not the least of which is dramatic cost savings. Laurie Patterson, director of cloud faxing for OrangePoint Communications ( http://www.orangepoint.net/computerfax.html ), a leading SaaS business communications provider, says that an increasing number of managers are adopting in-the-cloud strategies to improve productivity, security and reduce expenses. “There are well over 10 million cloud based fax accounts set up in just the United States, so the concept is nothing new. Better yet, at no cost to the user the technology keeps improving because it is has a shared services architecture. Despite its wide spread popularity, there are a surprising number of enterprises that keep hanging on to their traditional systems, said Patterson. Patterson said there are five main reasons managers are migrating to cloud faxing ( http://www.orangepoint.net/computerfax.html ): 1) Cost Reduction: Capital expenditures are eliminated for equipment purchases, there are no forced upgrades by your vendor, no equipment obsolescence, no costly maintenance/support contracts and IT departments don’t have to spend valuable time maintaining fax infrastructure. In addition, many entities experience fluctuations in their fax volumes and in-the-cloud faxing delivers just-in-time capacity with a transaction based fee structure, which reduces overall cost per fax compared to owning hardware, which has a lot of fixed costs. Quite simply, cloud faxing produces the lowest total cost of ownership for a fax solution. 2) Geographic Dispersion of Work Force: With employees and branch offices spread out, traditional in-house hardware and infrastructure has to be decentralized. Cloud faxing resolves this problem and can be easily managed from a central location. It is a scalable solution and can be deployed to new users quickly with a few clicks of a mouse. 3) Security: With cloud faxing, documents become much more secure. No longer are documents sitting around on machines waiting to be distributed to their intended recipient. Instead, the recipient receives their document directly in their email inbox as a pdf or tiff attachment, which is ready for electronic storage. Our solution is a carrier grade solution, and is regulatory and HIPAA compliant. 4) Disaster Recovery: Cloud faxing is a fully redundant solution and providers can store your documents for backup in the event of a disaster. These documents can be accessed only by you via a secure web portal. 5) Going Green: By its very nature, cloud faxing reduces paper and ink consumption drastically. Faxed documents are received as an electronic file that can then be distributed to others via email, or stored on your hard drive. “Smart companies are re-evaluating everything, especially cost centers”, Patterson said. “One of the fastest ways to save is to eliminate the need for the contractual maintenance and software upgrades for fax servers. When you go to cloud faxing, all that disappears.” ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8387422.htm

| Posted: 07 May 2011 12:58 AM PDT Dogs Sense Good and Evil – In His Recent Book, "DogSpeak," Animal Behaviorist Bash Dibra Explains How They Can Contribute To Pet Owners Personal Safety Personal Safety has always been a concern for police departments, or CEO's of large corporations. But in the past few years concerns for personal safety has risen to the forefront and canines have become the major source of protection and prevention where personal safety is the key issue New York, NY (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 Why a dog and not a security system or a class in self-defense? Dogs are actually biologically programmed to detect such dangerous situations. World renowned animal behaviorist and author Bash Dibra says, "Dogs naturally sense and differentiate between good and evil, friend and foe. They are very intelligent animals with a specific biological make-up that allows them to make educated judgments in regard to personality." In his recent book DogSpeak, Dibra outlines this, as well as other, intriguing and generally unknown phenomena of dogs. DogSpeak educates the reader in interpretation of their dog's actions. Using this tool, a dog owner is able to interpret his dog's response, resulting in determination of his own response. Bash explains, "Dogs have the ability and intuition to judge a person's character with an initial encounter. In the case of an ongoing threat, dogs can be especially useful in discovery and identification against threatening people that are most often filled with anger and fear. These are both emotions that dogs sense immediately." But the ability of dogs goes far beyond general intuition. In fact, the biology of dogs makes them master detectives. The first element a dog notices in an encounter is scent. Dogs have a measure of scent that allows them to smell even a drop of a substance in 10 thousand gallons of water. With this incredible ability, smelling the sweat that results from the fear and anger of a threatening person is a simple task. Dogs are also able to differentiate between the scent of a person who is simply new or nervous but harmless, and one who has the intent to harm. The resulting adrenaline released in the dog dictates the intensity of the dog's response." Dibra says, "Instinct and biological make-up allow dogs to be natural detectors of danger. With proper training, dogs have the potential to sniff out very specific elements that may lead authorities confidently to any threats. When we are at risk, the most important thing is that we take the measures necessary to protect ourselves and those around us. An investment in a dog is a basic yet invaluable way to do this." Bash is a renowned author of six books and a video, "Teach Your Dog to Behave, Dog Training By Bash, DogSpeak, CatSpeak, Your Dream Dog: A Guide to Choosing the Right Breed for You," StarPet, "How to Make Your Pet A Star," and a video and DVD "Teach Your Dog To Behave." They are available at book stores and pet stores around the country and you can also order a specially autographed copy from his website at http://www.bashdibra.com. Bash's books are also available on Kindle, the iPad, and e-books. Pls note: Bash is available for phone interviews, or on-site interviews in the tri-state area (NY/NJ/CT.)

ImaBeerhound.com provides categorical video reviews to assist the Micro-brew aficionado with finding out of the way places to enjoy their beer loving passion. Lansing, MI (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 Michigan Web Developer creates ImaBeerhound.com, a website dedicated to publicizing Michigan Brewed Beers, retailers that distribute and restaurants that serve that serve the products. ImaBeerhound.com provides categorical video reviews to assist the Micro-brew aficionado with finding out of the way places to enjoy their beer loving passion. There's a howl in the Michigan woods and it's not a timber wolf crossing the mighty Mac. It's the Beerhound, mild mannered web developer by day, passionate beer lover by night. The Beerhound's regular identity is Paul Starr, owner of Paul Starr Productions, a website and video production company. His mission is to taste, review and educate Michigan consumers in the fine art of beer tasting, particularly Michigan's finest Microbrews. In less than a year, Starr has created the Beerhound persona via the website http://www.ImaBeerhound.com, a variety of t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs and other beer related items. The site is generating more than a 300 visits a week; his Facebook site has acquired nearly 2,000 friends. The purpose of this promotional activity is to link the community of like minded beer lovers with Michigan proprietors. Paul or a member of his Beerhound staff personally visits each location, performing the taste test and video documenting their review. These video tastings are then posted YouTube and categorized by type of beer or by location on his site, http://www.ImaBeerhound.com. To date, they have recorded over 40 video reviews and are adding an average of 12 per month. An Allied Trade Member of the Michigan Brewer's Guild, Starr is always on the lookout for an out of the way establishment that serves an exceptional brew recipe or tasty menu. He recently decided to also include reviews of food served in many of these establishments. The only activity rivaling the Beerhound's thirst for exotic beer is his appetite for great food. Few places offer better food than a microbrewery and the Beerhound takes every opportunity to combine exotic brew with appetizing food. New offerings included awarding recognition for Restaurant/Bar of the Month, Brewery of the Month and Retailer of the Month. Ten Howling Hound Ratings for Paul's efforts. Sounds like a great job, how does one apply? ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8365905.htm

| Iconic Art Work, Chicago Stock Exchange Sculpture “Global Vision” Up for Auction on eBay Posted: 07 May 2011 12:43 AM PDT Iconic Art Work, Chicago Stock Exchange Sculpture "Global Vision" Up for Auction on eBay A sculpture originally commissioned from sculptor Lauren Grey for the re-dedication of the Chicago Stock Exchange in 1993 is now up for auction on eBay. Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 A sculpture originally commissioned from sculptor Lauren Grey for the re-dedication of the Chicago Stock Exchange in 1993 is now up for auction on eBay. The 11' x 11' sculpture titled 'Global Vision' was first commissioned by then President and CEO of the Exchange Homer J. Livingston and unveiled on July 8, 1993 when the Midwest Stock Exchange decided to change its name back to the original name of Chicago Stock Exchange. "We asked Lauren Grey to design a piece that would reflect the energy of our members, as well as the growing international reputation of the Exchange," said Livingston in 1993. "With 'Global Vision', Lauren has truly captured the interrelationship of art and business." The work features three hand-hammered copper figures representing traders at work. Behind the traders are two large black acrylic arches. One depicts the original Chicago Stock Exchange building entranceway arch (now at the Art Institute), and the other the Exchange's current logomark. All the elements are visually tied together by long acrylic rods which circle an elliptical globe and represent fiber optic communications lines spanning the globe. Sculptor Lauren Grey credited her inspiration in part to her long association with the Exchange. She designed the corporate identity program when the Exchange moved from 120 S. LaSalle Street to 440 S. LaSalle in 1985, and also designed and developed the Visitor's Gallery for the Exchange. She specializes in commission work for businesses and her work is held in collections in more than 40 countries. She maintains a studio in the Chicago area. In April of 2009, the Chicago Stock Exchange cut its space at One Financial Place, giving up the trading floor it had built and occupied since 1985 as exchanges have gone electronic and no longer require massive trading floors. This meant not only giving up the 4th floor, but the Members' Dining Room, the Visitor's Gallery on the 5th floor (which had been closed since the attacks on 9/11), and also the Grand Staircase, which was the location of 'Global Vision'. The Exchange returned 'Global Vision' to sculptor Lauren Grey and, in a quest to find a new home for the sculpture, it is currently up for auction on eBay as item #360364678278. # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8390946.htm

| GuardianAngel.org Anonymously Helps Those in Need of Financial Assistance Posted: 07 May 2011 12:43 AM PDT GuardianAngel.org Anonymously Helps Those in Need of Financial Assistance The fact is, too many honest, hardworking American families struggle to make ends meets and, through no fault of their own, find themselves in serious financial trouble. If a relatively small amount of money can make a world of difference to your life, then GuardianAngel.org is here to help. (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 GuardianAngel.org, a website which takes "Wishes" (requests for financial help) from those in need of monetary assistance, has just been launched. GuardianAngel.org is the brainchild of a successful businessman who wishes to retain anonymity while giving financial aid to the less fortunate. The site's sole intention is to provide assistance to those who face dire financial hardship. There is absolutely no tax benefit received on the site or founder's behalf for the fulfillment of wishes. Anyone can make a wish on the site, however only those in desperate need of assistance are encouraged to make a submission. All responses are subsequently screened to find those who successfully demonstrate genuine need. A new request will be fulfilled every week, with a maximum benefit of $500 per Wish. GuardianAngel.org will pay bills or issue gift certificates and money orders only – no cash payments will be issued. GuardianAngel.org seeks to provide help for single mothers who need help paying bills, families with money issues on account of unexpected medical-related financial debt that has arisen, or generally any situation where a relatively small amount of fiscal assistance is veritably needed and can make a significant positive impact. Those whose need is not authentic are discouraged from submission as that only diminishes the chances of help going to where it can do the most good. "Ultimately, the hope is that GuardianAngel.org will act as a catalyst and inspire other people to perform similar acts of kindness," said the site's creator. "Those who would like to join our cause can contact GuardianAngel.org if they would like to learn more about becoming a Guardian Angel." If you know someone whose situation legitimately necessitates monetary aid, refer them to GuardianAngel.org to make a Wish. The site also contains a "Tell-A-Friend" page in order to make referrals directly from the web page itself. Additional information about the site can be found at http://www.GuardianAngel.org, or by emailing jessica(at)guardianangel(dot)org. # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8390936.htm

| Study Abroad Inspirations Come from Near and Far Posted: 07 May 2011 12:42 AM PDT Study Abroad Inspirations Come from Near and Far College students share their inspirations for studying abroad in University Language Services' latest scholarship photo contest. New York, NY (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 Inspirations for studying abroad can be found close to home and far away, according to the winners of University Language Services' latest scholarship photo contest for college students. Grand prize winner Alexia Beghi (http://www.universitylanguage.com/scholarships/spring-2011/grand-prize-winner/), whose study abroad experience took her to Florence, Italy, captured the magic of the Santa Croce Church at twilight. "I cannot wait for the day I can return and sit and have a chat with Danté's statue," wrote the senior at California Polytechnic State University. Texas State University senior and contest runner-up Amber Kubik (http://www.universitylanguage.com/scholarships/spring-2011/second-place-winner/) drew her inspiration for studying abroad in Lima, Peru, from local sources as she captured a colorful tide pool on the rocky California coastline. Third place winner Jason Loose, a senior at Arizona State University, documented a hectic and busy scene in a Beijing restaurant as workers prepared baozi (Chinese-style buns) (http://www.universitylanguage.com/scholarships/spring-2011/third-place-winner/). This year, University Language Services received hundreds of submissions from college students across the country, each sharing one photo that encapsulated their inspiration for studying abroad. One grand prize winner received a $500 scholarship, and $100 scholarships went to the 2nd and 3rd place winners. The photographs submitted by the winners and by all participants in University Language’s contest are a tribute to the significance of study abroad.

| CloudOne Partners with Certeon to Automate Secure Access to Developer Cloud Posted: 07 May 2011 12:42 AM PDT CloudOne Partners with Certeon to Automate Secure Access to Developer Cloud Partnership Provides access to Automated, Secure, Optimized Development Environment in Minutes Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 Organizations globally are suffering from the high cost and complexity of acquiring, deploying and managing distributed developer collaboration solutions. CloudOne, the leader in lifting software and systems development onto the cloud, solves this problem by providing enterprises with a fully hosted one-stop developer solution that can be up and running in minutes, is secure and scalable and provides the same performance as if the application was running locally. Certeon, the application performance company, today announced a partnership with CloudOne to provide the software infrastructure for enabling automated, secure, optimized access to integrated development environments (IDE) in the cloud for developers using the IBM Rational product suite. CloudOne's cloud development solution elevates distributed development team collaboration through secure virtual private clouds. Combined with Certeon's application acceleration technology, aCelera, the partnership delivers unparalleled application performance, control and security for developers looking to collaborate in the cloud. By having the IDE in a secure, optimized cloud environment, organizations and their developers can bypass many of the common challenges associated with such an environment, including huge up front setup costs, downtime, painfully slow synchronization of workflows, unavailability of shared code bases, software maintenance, systems scalability and high TCO. "At CloudOne, we continually strive to improve our cloud-developing solution, and partnering with Certeon is the next step in providing the most comprehensive and advanced solution on the market," said John McDonald, CEO, CloudOne. "Think about it. Virtually any developer can be up and running in minutes on a secure link to other globally distributed developers. Certeon's aCelera is a software-based solution with a proven flexible and cost-effective approach to optimized access to applications in the cloud. We are excited to couple aCelera's benefits with our ability to lift software and systems development to the cloud, ensuring our customers' developers application access is fast, reliable and secure. The low cost flexibility of the offering – which was able to fit in our existing VMware environment – was a key reason to join forces. Certeon's software flexibility and scalability is unrivaled; no other optimization vendor can provide this offering enabling this level of cloud services." While collaborating in the cloud has clear benefits, organization must be mindful of issues that can arise with regards to privacy and security. Enterprises need to create private networks within a cloud provider's infrastructure to make the network an extension of the enterprise network. This enables more user confidence when working in the cloud. Flexibility in transfer of applications across computing environments is also significant, along with ensuring optimized connectivity in the cloud. The Certeon and CloudOne partnership alleviates all of those problems by providing a virtual VPN connection between any user and the cloud application. "aCelera has just changed the game for cloud services providers that need to deliver automated access and meet application SLA's in a secure cloud," said Peter Dougherty, President and CEO, Certeon. "We're pleased to partner with CloudOne and offer aCelera, allowing organizations of any size to capitalize on the benefits of the cloud by unleashing the value of distributed development and enabling any developer on the planet access to their application and code base automatically and securely. Why would any organization not want to provide this offering for their developers? It's faster, secure and less expensive. This partnership allows any global organization the option to exploit the promise of cloud computing in minutes.

| Goldrush Entertainment Premiere of “Beautiful Boy” for the US Market Posted: 07 May 2011 12:42 AM PDT Goldrush Entertainment Premiere of "Beautiful Boy" for the US Market Picked up by US Anchor Bay Entertainment after its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival, the film will open in theaters in the US on June 3rd. (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 Following its award-winning Canadian premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, Goldrush Entertainment's "Beautiful Boy" made its US debut at the 5th annual Dallas International Film Festival (IFF). Describing Shawn Ku's directorial masterpiece as the next "big" film, Festival director James Faust selected Beautiful Boy to be the festival's "Centerpiece", an honor previously granted to "The Hurt Locker" and "Winter's Bone", movies that ultimately went on to win Academy Awards. When asked about the film's recent recognition at the Dallas International Film Festival, President and CEO of Goldrush Entertainment, Eric Gozlan, mentioned he was impressed that there was "still a place in this industry for dramatic films dealing with hard hitting issues" and that he looks forward to Beautiful Boy attaining the same success as its predecessors. Confident that the film was going to be a "winner", Gozlan's gut instinct was validated when Director Shawn Ku received the "International Federation of Film Critic's Discovery Prize at the Toronto Film Festival. Although Beautiful Boy was writer/director Shawn Ku's first dramatic feature, Gozlan had no reservations about the project, aware that Ku was an "Auteur" with a unique and inspiring vision. "Everyone involved knew from day one we had an amazing script and an even more amazing Director. We believed in Shawn. Hearing him describe his artistic vision convinced us that this was a film we weren't going to let slip away." Although the difficult issues addressed in "Beautiful Boy" may have seemed risky to some, Gozlan's uncanny ability to accurately evaluate properties based on solid key creative attachments, inspired financiers as well as lead actors, Maria Bello and Michael Sheen, who saw a chance to shine in the film. Teaming up to play the parents of a college campus shooter, who dies along with his victims, Bello and Sheen portray a couple on the brink of collapse forced to deal with their own grief while under public scrutiny. Film critics attending the Dallas premiere described the audience as being in tears by the end of the film. "Having read the script, I assumed that I wouldn't be affected" Gozlan said "but Michael Sheen and Maria Bello's heart wrenching performance really moved me." Picked up by US Anchor Bay Entertainment after its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival, the film will open in theaters in the US on June 3rd, and Canada on June 17th, 2011 followed closely by an international launch. In the meantime, Goldrush Entertainment has already wrapped principle photography on their next project "Jacked", also starring Maria Bello paired up this time with actor Stephen Dorff. Confident that Goldrush Entertainment is quickly establishing itself as a strong player in the Indie Film market, Gozlan is happy to witness the fruits of his labors and to know the hard work is paying off. "2010 was a great year for Goldrush Entertainment and we don't have plans to slow down any time soon." # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8388744.htm

| Posted: 07 May 2011 12:41 AM PDT Free Audio Giveaway: Answers the Nerve-wrecking Question, What to Do or Say If Your Bride Cancels or Can't Pay Just In Time for the Start of Wedding Season Contract Mensch Eisenberg Develops DIY Contract that Protects Business Owner and Delight Brides Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 07, 2011 Wedding entrepreneurs gamble every day. They take on a new bride and promise to give her a perfect wedding day without knowing if the bride will keep her end of the bargain and pay. Until now. Attorney Dina Eisenberg shares her uniquely positive perspective on wedding business service contracts that work for the business owner while creating an optimum branding experience that attracts more brides. Eisenberg is giving away a free audio entitled: Show Me the Money! Friendly Payment & Cancellation Ideas for Wedding Entrepreneurs on her site, PositivelyWed.com to celebrate the launch of her new DIY contract book, Who Else Wants a Hassle Free Contract? This audio, which is an excerpt from the book, contains valuable information on what to do and say if the bride wants to cancel or cannot pay. "The contract becomes an irresistible invitation for the bride to be part of such an incredible experience she feels the wedding pro is her superhero who protects her from wedding day woes. No one pulls on Superman's cape, so it's stress free for venders. The delighted bride promises and delivers a stream of warm referrals. What's better than a hassle free client who brings you more?" rejoices Attorney Eisenberg There's a tension between service providers- wedding entrepreneurs- and their brides that's almost adversarial. Neither side wants to be taken so there's a lot of skepticism and defensiveness. That increases the stress when things inevitably go wrong- weddings are a hotbed of super-charged emotions. Being what I call a 'collaborative business owner' gives the wedding pro the tools to manage gently yet powerfully and to distinguish herself in her market as a Thought Leader who is fair and caring. Collaborative business owners transform that relationship from adversaries to teammates using a unique contracting/closing process and scripts developed by Eisenberg. The wedding pro becomes the partner, not the handmaiden, for the bride and they share responsibilities. According to the Wedding Report, wedding entrepreneurs earn about $2500 per engagement. So, the business owner can add thousands to her bottom line just by revising her contract, something that probably needs to be done anyway. The book, Who Else Wants a Hassle Free Contract, includes a sample contract, templates, worksheets, scripts and audios. # # # For the original version on PRWeb visit: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/5/prweb8387267.htm
