Behind-the-scenes with Edgar Perez: The 11th-Hour Deal to End the Government Shutdown of October 2013

Edgar Perez, Celebrated Book Author of The Speed Traders and Knightmare on Wall Street, Presents The 11th-Hour Deal, Behind Washington’s Closed-doors During the 16-day Government Shutdown of October 2013.

New York City, NY, USA (November 18, 2013) — Edgar Perez, the celebrated author of The Speed Traders, An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, and Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, is presenting his newest book, The 11th-Hour Deal, Behind Washington’s Closed-doors During the 16-day Government Shutdown of October 2013 (http://www.The11thHourDeal.com), the behind-the-scenes story of the dramatic days between October 1st and 16th. The 11th-Hour Deal, to be released on February 7, 2014, will provide a comprehensive day-by-day account of what happened behind closed doors in Washington when the political class negotiated in fits and starts reopening of the government and raising the debt ceiling to ultimately arrive to an agreement at the 11th-hour.

On October 17, 2013, just minutes into the day, President Barack Obama signed the bill that ended a 16-day partial government shutdown and raised the debt ceiling, after weeks of negotiations that gave way to a frenzied Wednesday night in Washington as Congress finally passed the bill that would prevent the country from crashing into the debt ceiling. Members of both the Senate and House of Representatives had worked dangerously close to the midnight debt ceiling deadline amid warnings the government of the United States of America could run out of money to pay its bills if Congress didn’t raise the debt ceiling.

The Republican-led House had given the final stamp of approval voting 285 to 144 for the bill brokered by the Democratic-led Senate, which had voted on Wednesday evening, 81 to 18. The proposal had been hammered out by the chamber’s Republican and Democratic leaders after continued resolutions approved by the House that defunded Obamacare, President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare initiative, went nowhere. The debt cushion was extended through February 7, with current spending levels being authorized through January 15.

The 16 days of the partial government shutdown had come at a steep cost. Standard and Poor’s estimated it took $24 billion out of the economy; Fitch Ratings had put the U.S. AAA credit rating on watch for a potential downgrade. The possibility of a debt default spooked investors on Wall Street and hiked interest rates. Furthermore, it impacted American’s top-notch financial and business global preeminence; China, America’s largest foreign debt holder with $1.28 trillion of U.S. bonds, was already calling for considering building a de-Americanized world.

Perez (http://www.MrEdgarPerez.com) is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert in investing and high-frequency trading. Perez has been interviewed on Sina Finance, CNBC Squawk On The Street, Bloomberg TV’s Market Makers, CNN en Español’s Dinero, FOX Business’s Countdown to the Closing Bell, CNBC Worldwide Exchange, CNBC Cash Flow, CNBC Squawk Box, BNN Business Day, CCTV China, Bankier.pl, TheStreet.com, Leaderonomics, GPW Media, Channel NewsAsia Business Tonight and Cents & Sensibilities.

Montreal, QC, November 18, 2013 – (Straight Line PR) – Montreal Self Defense, Global TV Features SAFE International Montreal Women’s Self Defense Parties.

SAFE International™ is the leading provider of mobile women’s self defense training in North America. SAFE International has taught more than 175,000 women since 1994. Global TV recently featured the SAFE International Montreal Self Defense Party to its’ viewers. SAFE International has developed a reputation for not only delivering quality instruction designed to deal with real life violence, but also using a teaching methodology that makes the client comfortable to talk about a serious topic, as well as participate in their realistic self defense drills. Most self defense courses are quite intimidating. Having to train with up to 30 other women who are unfamiliar with each other, immediately puts them in a teaching environment that is not optimal. With a SAFE International Montreal self defense party you gather a group of friends, family, or co-workers, and not only learn potentially life-saving instruction, but also have a lot of fun during those 4 hours. And the fact that SAFE International is a mobile self defense company, makes it even more convenient for you. One of their favourite reasons for teaching women as you will see in this Global TV video is how receptive the women are to the skills that SAFE International provides. This can be attributed to their appreciating the value in what is taught. While most men are receptive, they are usually more interested on a different level involving the male ego and wanting to know how to fight. Women are interested in learning, based more on their survival in today’s reality. Each skill or tactic that is taught could potentially save their life and you can see it in the way they practice and adopt the new skill.

Women have more reasons to learn these skills. Here is the video from Global TV Toronto featuring the SAFE International Self Defense Party: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qeyUyaBQRU

Work at Home Dad in Minneapolis make Money Online

Marketing online is a crazy business Nilsson says. Following a proven system and learning new skills is the only way it can be done.

Eagan, MN, November 18, 2013 – Work At Home Dad In Minneapolis Make Money Online. Marketing online is a crazy business Nilsson says. Following a proven system and learning new skills is the only way it can be done. Being a stay at home dad was very important to me because it allowed me to be with my daughter and make money online. Nilsson says he was tired of the daily commute and never seeing his family. It was like I never had a life. Using Viral Blogging system to get traffic to my website has helped me make money online.

The ENV2 has a slick looking design, is fully customizable to meet the individual’s needs, and is set up to be optimized for your online marketing, if you buy it with the intention to use it for that purpose. Many people use it for personal use, or to market other businesses because it is much quicker, easier and ultimately more affordable than getting a self-hosted blog set up (when you consider everything it takes to set-up and host a blog, such as: monthly hosting fees, design costs, programming costs, and any additional services your outsource such as SEO and anything customized).

Nilsson says, After intentionally staying on the fringe of the Home Business/Network Marketing Industry for a dozen years, the careful evaluation and due diligence of a dozen different top internet marketing systems, it was obvious that Empower Network ENV2 had the perfect combination of product, leadership, training and appropriate market timing. It’s very rare to have all of these elements come together in one powerful structure all at the same time. Together we can make a huge and important difference in people’s lives.
