Occupy The US Constitution Launched by A3 Society

Leave a comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SAFE International Launches Mississauga Women’s Self Defense for Travellers – Mississauga, ON Self Defense

Leave a comment

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense for travellers in Mississauga, ON.

Mississauga, ON, January 07, 2012 – (Straight Line PR) – Mississauga Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Mississauga Women’s Self Defense for Travellers.

SAFE International ™ is one of the leading providers of mobile self defense/personal protection training in North America. SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense for travellers in Mississauga, ON.

At this time of year, thousands of Canadians and Americans will head south to some of the warmer clients to escape the cold North American winter many of us experience. While the majority will have an amazing time, there are countless stories of women and men of all ages, forgetting that they are in a foreign country in which there are some inherent risks. SAFE International has the history and curriculum to help reduce those risks. SAFE International doesn’t only teach physical self defense concepts, but also how to avoid becoming a victim through Awareness/Avoidance training.

Some of the risks people need to concern themselves with when traveling in regards to women’s travel self defense Mississauga includes what an attacker looks for in a potential victim, what an attacker wants and doesn’t want in confrontation, hotel safety, plus taxis and buses.

One of the biggest topics that SAFE International explores is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. The nightlife in many of these countries provides many opportunities for attacks, date rape or kidnappings. SAFE International covers the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. Instruction would then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible. Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, SAFE International instructors cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario. The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Mississauga women’s self defense for travellers. Physical self defense instruction begins with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance.  SAFE International only teaches gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. They teach a philosophy of “Attack the Attacker” which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator. Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed. Self defense training does not take years, and in fact with just a few hours of women’s self defense instruction for travelers, you can be confident that you have reduced the odds of harm and can have some peace of mind if it is your daughter or son who is traveling.

SAFE International has taught more than 135,000 women since 1994.

Is 2012 set to be a bumper year for outsourcing?

Leave a comment

With the New Year upon us, many companies are now looking at their business processes in order to assess what they can change in 2012. With companies continuing to struggle amidst a challenging economic climate, many are likely to dramatically change how their company operates this year, with outsourcing likely to become the preserve of many businesses attempting to rationalise their cost base.

Last year was a record year for companies operating in the outsourcing sector, with a huge number of businesses looking into the concept in an attempt to cut fixed costs and become more flexible. With the ability to drastically reduce fixed overheads whilst maintaining business operations without interruption and providing access to skilled staff, outsourcing has been a lifesaver for many in 2011, which is why the new year is likely to bring a further uplift in demand for outsourcing services; not only in the UK but overseas too.

In a recent survey conducted by dictate2us, a dictation and transcription service, it was found that 62% of companies plan to outsource administrative jobs this year, to cut the costs of overheads. Chief Executive of dictate2us, Daryl Leigh said :“Many of the administrative tasks typically undertaken by secretaries are necessary but incredibly time consuming. For that reason, it’s important that business owners look objectively at their organisation to question whether outmoded methods of operation are still relevant.”

It is thought that the increased interest companies have in relation to outsourcing is due to the many small business that continue to struggle to find employees with the necessary skills. Research carried out by the Federation of small Businesses (FSB) found that 27% of start up companies struggle to find qualified and skilled staff.

Outsourcing was also a hot topic in the news last year, and this trend appears to continuing in 2012. In one article in particular, published in the Daily Mail, John Neilson, Managing Director of NHS Shared Business Services, has urged the NHS to outsource more of its call centres to India, to further cut costs; a predicted saving of £20 billion by 2014. With articles such as these featuring in various different publications on a daily basis, it is no wonder that more companies are wanting to know what is to be gained through outsourcing, with there being more of a demand for outsourcing companies than there has ever been before.

One outsourcing website in particular that has reaped the benefits of the increase in outsourcing is OutsourceMyProject. With over £1 million worth of projects posted onto the site in 2011, the business is looking forward to what 2012 brings. Loren Holland, Managing Director of OutsourceMyProject said: “Over the course of last year we witnessed a drastic increase in the number of small and SME companies looking to outsource their business functions to professional and freelance experts. Smaller businesses are now waking up to outsourcing, which historically has been viewed as the preserve of only large organizations. The principal benefits of outsourcing are twofold; cutting down fixed cost overheads and accessing skilled services which may not be available in-house.”

About OutsourceMyProject:
Established in January 2011, OutsourceMyProject.com aims to bring together organisations and individuals looking to outsource business functions or projects with freelance providers of professional services. Following the website launch, more than 10,000 providers, including freelance web designers, legal specialists, freelance editing professionals and copywriters have registered with OutsourceMyProject.com to bid on over £1 million worth of freelance work.

Prepay Nation Announces Partnership with Etisalat Afghanistan

Etisalat to offer international mobile top-up through Prepay Nation’s North American and European retail channels

Philadelphia, PA (USA), Thursday – January 05, 2012 — Prepay Nation ( http://www.prepaynation.com ), one of the fastest growing providers of international airtime transfers for prepaid mobile operators in emerging nations, has announced an alliance with the largest mobile service provider in the Middle East, Etisalat. Through the partnership, individuals living in the US, Canada, and Europe will be able to transfer small currency values to Etisalat Afghanistan customers in the form of airtime minutes, from a diverse array of convenient retail locations.

The partnership will provide the North America- and Europe-based friends, coworkers, and relatives of Etisalat Afghanistan subscribers with access to instant International Mobile Top Up (IMTU) service through Prepay Nation’s retail distribution network. The service provides a vital avenue through which customers can support their colleagues and loved ones in Afghanistan, instantaneously replenishing their mobile airtime minutes from a nearby partner retailer.

“Etisalat Afghanistan is a pioneer in the market, and we are thrilled to be partnering with them,” said Sarah Feidt, Head of Marketing at Prepay Nation. “Our services bring great value to mobile customers and to their colleagues and loved ones abroad, and Etisalat’s mandate to connect and invigorate Afghanistan’s mobile ecosystem fits perfectly with the unique international connectivity we offer.”

“In regions where international currency transfer can be costly, cumbersome, and often impossible, nothing makes more sense than to send instant support in the form of mobile minutes that everyone needs and uses,” Feidt added. “We’re excited to bring that option to individuals connected to Etisalat Afghanistan subscribers.”

One of the largest telecommunications companies in the world, United Arab Emirates-based Etisalat is the leading operator in the Middle East and Africa, servicing over 100 million customers in 18 countries. The company began operations in Afghanistan in August 2007, and is the fastest growing mobile phone company in the nation. Etisalat provides voice and data services in 31 Afghani provinces and 196 districts, with more than 12,000 retail outlets, and has recently signed a deal with the Afghanistan Telecommunications Regulatory Authority to invest in mobile infrastructure development and provide services in 17 rural Districts.

Etisalat has embraced its mission to play an active role in the growth and prosperity of Afghanistan, from both a mobile and a social perspective. They have established a number of community engagement activities, including sponsoring both national and grassroots sports programs, and supporting a variety of health and educational initiatives. Their division staff comprises 90% local Afghans, and they have recently launched their Employee Succession Plan with the intention to train and develop over 400 Afghan nationals into senior management positions.
