Leave a comment

Luxury Travel Ltd. (www.LuxuryTravels.de) has revamped its website, face book, published brochures in German and has named German national, Julia Gerner, as their German Marketing Executive in their campaign to attract luxury-minded German travelers to Vietnam.

Hanoi, Vietnam, February 22, 2013 — Julia Gerner will be responsible for the development of the German Department, overseas sales and marketing activities, and customer care with Luxury Travel‘s business partners in German speaking countries.

Vietnam annually welcomes 110,000 German tourists and the Vietnam tourism sector needs qualified workers and providers of niche tourism products for this market.

For many travel experts, Vietnam is increasingly being recognized as a destination for high-end global tourists, especially those coming from Western European countries with direct flights, such as France, the UK, and Germany. For German tourists, Vietnam is a magnet due to their historical links and the strategic partnership between the two countries.

German tourists wish to experience Vietnam’s defining characteristics: thrills, nature, heritage, festivals, pristine beauty, enjoyment, scenery and essence. To accommodate this, Vietnam now has world class hotels and resorts, beaches and cuisine, in addition to its natural beauty, rich history and traditional culture.

“We expect good German traffic to Vietnam in 2013-2014, especially from small groups, families, couples and special interest travelers. Germany is among the top European markets for us, aided by a direct flight between Vietnam and Germany. Vietnam is better known as a backpacker destination for German travelers, but efforts are being made to promote Vietnam as a luxury destination and to attract upscale German-speaking travelers with niche tourism products. Our German speaking team is very well placed to serve high-end travelers.” said Pham Ha, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.

“I am glad to join Luxury Travel Ltd. in order to promote the company’s niche tourism products to the German speaking market. With my colleagues here, I am confident that the products offered by Luxury Travel are highly suitable for the German market. The demand for luxury tourism products is increasing as is the popularity of Southeast Asia as a travel destination, especially Vietnam and Cambodia. The expectations of luxury travelers are high, but Luxury Travel offers everything that is needed to meet and even exceed these expectations. The highly qualified specialists are dedicated to design every customer’s dream vacation and to satisfy every wish. My primary task here is to create awareness of Luxury Travel in the German market and to approach German travel agents and tour operators especially for the upcoming ITB Berlin 2013.” said Julia Gerner.

“Julia is committed to the idea of the luxury travel concept, marketing Vietnam as a high-end destination and promoting our niche tourism products, not only in Vietnam, but also in others Southeast Asian countries such as Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand.” said Ha.

Luxury Travel takes part in many trades show in Europe, including the upcoming ITB Berlin 2013, and is targeting double digit growth from this market segment this year.

Leave a comment

Pete Evans, chef, health advocate and star of Seven’s hit series, My Kitchen Rules announces the launch of 100% Natural Raw C Coconut Water.

Pete Evans’ personality and passion for healthy products are a fantastic fit for Natural Raw C and we look forward to working together’. Scott added.

The increased demand for coconut water worldwide is due to its natural hydrating qualities and a great source of nutrients including calcium and magnesium. Coconut water also contains the same amount of potassium as a banana.

“The recent explosion of the coconut water category can be explained relatively simply; it meets growing consumer demands for natural, healthy products”, comments Pete Evans.

We have been enjoying coconut water in my house for some time now, straight from imported coconuts so when an opportunity to launch a packaged version for all Australian families to enjoy, I jumped at the chance. My partners in Natural Raw C have the business experience and the same passion for coconut water, keeping it pure and healthy, as I do and we are very proud to share this with the Australian public”.

Natural Raw C is available in two re-sealable sizes, 330mL and 1Litres. The 1 litre stock is being rolled out across Australia now with the 330mls being available by the end of February. It is also being stocked at BU Organics, Pete Evans new health food store in Bondi Junction, Sydney.

Mahesh Baxi Explores Practical Leadership Mantras in New Book

Leave a comment

Mahesh Baxi, CEO of Compassites Software recently launched his latest book which is entitled “New Age Leadership: Practical mantras on leadership”.

Bangalore, India, February 21, 2013 — Mahesh Baxi, CEO of Compassites Software ( http://www.compassitesinc.com ) recently launched his latest book which is entitled “New Age Leadership: Practical mantras on leadership”. Mahesh has held leadership positions for many years now. He has tapped into his extensive experience and fleshed out many anecdotes on leadership that will be of interest to the inquisitive reader. Mahesh drew from his many experiences of working with various international clients to come up with the leadership mantras that he talks about in this book.

The book is a compendium of Mahesh’s blogs on leadership. The idea was to make the content available in the physical form as a compilation for the avid reader. The book also has a splash of cartoons adding the humor element to the business leadership topics that are being discussed in the book.

The book touches on three pertinent aspects that are the foundation of success in business today. They are leadership, customer relationships and organizational development. None of these aspects are new, since they have been around ever since the service sector was formed. However, Mahesh says that how you play your cards in each one of them has drastically changed. This can be primarily attributed to the global nature of businesses, technology inventions and the required collaboration at the modern work place. The book emphasizes that as a leader, staying competitive has become extremely difficult unless you are highly innovative all the time.

Kiruba Shankar CEO, Business Blogging Pvt Ltd, wrote the foreword for this book. He says that reading the book gave him an impression that Mahesh was having a conversation with him over a cup of coffee. According to Kiruba, a good author is one who has the ability to deliver his message in all forms of media. Kiruba feels that Mahesh has made the right decision to morph his blog it into a physical book.

About the Author:
Mahesh Baxi is the CEO of Compassites Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Mahesh has over 19 years of global IT services experience. Mahesh takes on the reins of Compassites with a charter to scale the company, build the culture of thought leadership and foster innovation as the primary differentiator to add value to the customers.

American Hero T Shirt Launches 31 Heroes Patriotic Apparel

Leave a comment

American Hero T Shirt has launched a new design to commemorate the death of the 31 heroes, who died in Tangi Valley, Afghanistan on 08/06/2011.

Haven, KS (USA), February 21, 2013 — American Hero T Shirt is premium seller of its patriotic apparel and accessories. Recently, the company launched a new design called 31 Heroes to commemorate 31 American soldiers who died on 08/06/2011 in Afghanistan.

The soldiers were on their way to provide support to an on-ground team, when their Chinook helicopter crashed in Tangi Valley. The chopper was hit by a rocket propelled grenade, launched by Taliban insurgents. 22 of the 31 heroes were SEAL commandos. The dead included the chopper’s crew of five US servicemen and an army dog.

The 31 heroes shirt ( http://americanherotshirt.com/31-heroes-patriotic-apparel.php ) is available in all sizes (in black only) either as a hoodie or a T shirt. The front of the 31 heroes T shirt contains a message ‘Never Forget- 31 Heroes’, with the date of the tragedy . The back of the 31 heroes contains the names of the 31 heroes who died that day. The 31 heroes design is also available in one more variation with a poem by William Shakespeare.

A spokesperson from American Hero T Shirt said that a great tragedy took place on 08/06/2011 when 31patriots were snatched by the jaws of death. American Hero T Shirt wanted to commemorate the supreme sacrifice made by the 31 heroes and therefore it had brought out the design.

The 31 heroes design is perfect for people who want to show their support for the US armed forces. $5 from each sale of the 31 heroes T shirt will be donated to a charity that supports war veterans, wounded soldiers and the families of those who have died for the country. American Hero is also going to bring out a 2nd anniversary design in July of 2013, to commemorate the 31 heroes.

Cloud Content Delivery by Collaboration

Netkiller present Cloud Document Management

San Jose, CA, February 21, 2013 – Cloud platform is now gradually becoming a mega trend and it is essentially changing the way people go about collaboration their personal as well as professional information with colleagues.

Amidst all of this, Netkiller has realized that people are now using the cloud platforms to write, send and receive documents and emails and so they have introduced a new secure and easy way to manage these cloud documents and submit them on a workflow so people can collaborate seamlessly.

netkiller_Docs is one of its kinds as there is no other which can manage the collaboration as well as the documents that are present in a cloud. With this application, you will be able to do cloud collaboration and take care of document workflow without hassle so that it can be integrated with the Google cloud platform. netkiller_Docs works well with Google Apps and Gmail and is available to all its users.

* Intro Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i1zpCSosUQ

For starters, netkiller_Docs basically has two functions one of which is ‘Docs’ which provides an enhanced view of Google drive. Because of this feature, the users will easily be able to find the shared document on the cloud. For instance, when you click ‘users’ from the organizational chart, it will show you the list of documents that have been shared with the selected user. This is why it becomes easier for you to find the updated versions and search the documents that you need according to the time frame that you have entered.

The other function which we were talking about earlier is the ‘Collavate’ which is essentially the combination of Collaboration and Innovation. The purpose or objective behind this function is to automate the business process and document life cycles. With this function, you will be able to send any document or files securely to any internal or external user to request an approval. This way, the document ownership will automatically be changed to the document manager (admin) and is then finally stored on Google drive.

Because this application is so diverse, it can be used for any kind or type of organization. Official documents, such as contracts, quotations and invoices can be submitted to the supervisors or clients for review. Once the individual has reviewed the documents, they can be officially approved or returned with comments. These documents, once approved will then be processed and archived on the admin’s Google Doc.

Given below are several examples of how you can use netkiller_Docs to your benefit.

1. Attorney/Legal Services: Legal documents are easily managed on Google drive so you can send it to review and sign from the client. Once these are approved, they can be processed.

2. Media: With this application, journalists can write an article and submit it to a desk and they can be sent to the press in real time after they have been reviewed and edited.

3. Schools: Reports or essays can be submitted to the instructors and then either confirmed or returned with comments. All the confirmed documents are then recorded and archived on the instructor’s Google drive.

If you want proof of the success of netkiller_Docs, you can read about the thousands of reference customers that the application has since its launch. For example, MS autotech now uses netkiller_Docs for their 300 staffs to manage the cloud documentation and confirm to share only with the authorized persons. Also, ChosunBiz benefits from it by sending an article to the desk and keeps track of changes and send it to the press over two years.

Because netkiller_Docs has been secured by the Google Cloud Platform, which is certified by SSAE, 16 Type II and ISAE, 3402 Type II Standards, it is as secure as you can get. Moreover, netkiller_Docs is the ‘pure Google Apps Solutions’ and so it does not store any of the user’s Google Docs within the Google Apps.

To learn more about netkiller_Docs, go to the netkiller_Docs webpage or visit Netkiller website at www.netkiller.com.

Exercise Trends That Could Be Hazardous to Your Health

Leave a comment

Advanced Orthopedic offers guidance on mitigating potential risks of recent health trends

Denver, CO, February 20, 2013 — Each new year brings a renewed desire to get healthy and active. However, Advanced Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Specialists, Denver’s premier orthopedic practice for those determined to be active, warns of new exercise trends that may actually be hazardous to your health.

“Exercise and fitness trends are great at getting people active, healthy and engaged. But, they could also be harmful,” warns H. Andrew Motz, MD, orthopedic surgeon at Advanced Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Specialists. “It is critical that people approach these exercise options carefully to avoid ending up in our offices.”

Some of the recent health trends that the physicians at Advanced Orthopedic have identified as potentially harmful include:

1. Barefoot running advocates argue that the human body began running without shoes and that wearing shoes actually prevents foot muscle development. However, as this fitness trend continues to take off, runners could be risking injury by too quickly shifting to a new running style. Runners may experience stress fractures, shin splints and increased soreness in the calves as a result of not properly transitioning to this new running style and attempting to change their gait.

Instead of tossing your running shoes, Advanced Orthopedic recommends focusing on how your foot lands as you run and working to distribute the impact of each step throughout your entire foot, rather than mainly your heel.

2. High intensity circuit training classes have taken the fitness world by storm. But, the high intensity nature of these types of activities can pose increased injury risks if people try to do too much too fast. Without proper training and easing into an activity, even the most elite of athletes can suffer an injury.

If a high intensity workout is what motivates you to stay active, take part in a class that lets you move at your own pace and remember to take the crucial time at the beginning of your workout to warm up and stretch. Also, pay careful attention to form. Many times in these fast paced workout environments, in an effort to keep up, individuals struggle to maintain good form and end up hurting themselves.

3. For the right individual, yoga is a great way to de-stress and workout, but that does not mean it is the fitness trend for everybody. First-time yogis trying a more advanced class or pose could overextend their muscles aggravating them, even pulling a muscle. Yoga is all about stretching, but if you do not listen to your own body you could harm yourself.

If you are giving yoga a try for the first time, or even as you advance in your yoga practice, take it slow and come out of a pose if it is too difficult and you feel your muscles begin to shake and fatigue.

4. Spin classes are an excellent way to get a great cardiovascular workout, but many enthusiastic instructors may incorporate too many gyrations while on the bike. Incorporating squats, hovers, push-ups, hip thrusts, jumps or one-foot spins are not always appropriate to be performed on a bike. These types of moves can risk shoulder and knee injuries.

Remember that these extra movements are merely suggested options, not required and not recommended. Simply riding a bike at the appropriate intensity and incline level can be a productive workout.

5. At first glance, the exercise items being sold on TV may look like a fast, easy way to get in shape—but if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Whenever you bring a stationary piece of equipment into your home to augment your workout regimen, it is important to make sure you have taken all the proper precautions to ensure its safety.

Not properly securing punching bags or pull-up bars could cause injuries if they come loose from the wall during a workout. Additionally, a new abdominal or weightlifting machine may look like the quick fix on TV, but individuals should always slowly ease into a new activity to reduce unnecessary strain and stress on joints and muscle.

6. The Kinesio Taping® Method, an exercise trend seen frequently in the 2012 London Olympics, is applying highly elastic athletic tape to muscles in an effort to reduce pain and inflammation and support muscles in their normal, day-in and day-out movement.

However, it is certainly not a cure for tired or overused muscles. Kinesio tape can be helpful to ease muscle aches and pains, but is not advised as a replacement option for orthopedic treatments due to a torn meniscus or rotator cuff, for example.

“Exercise can help you lose weight, reduce risk of disease and prolong your life. But it should be done thoughtfully,” explains Dr. Motz. “A good rule of thumb is to listen to your mind and body—if it looks too good to be true, it probably is; and if you’re feeling shaky or overwhelmingly fatigued, you could be putting yourself at serious risk of injury.”

Innova Biosciences Develops Technology to Increase Sensitivity of Diagnostic Tests

Leave a comment

World healthcare models are continuously facing financial challenges when it comes to providing for an ageing population.

Oxford, UK, February 20, 2013 – World healthcare models are continuously facing financial challenges when it comes to providing for an ageing population. The current models for provision are increasingly questioned with the upward trend in healthcare spending becoming a significant portion of the GDP. One solution to alleviate the ever increasing burden is earlier detection of disease using more accurate and sensitive diagnostic kits.

Innova Biosciences has recently launched a technology called Thunder-Link® which will facilitate the development of diagnostic tests. The innovative technology has been designed to allow non-specialists to engineer oligonucleotide conjugates with ease. Such biomolecule complexes are increasingly used in high-sensitivity diagnostic kits, and are designed to overcome limited sensitivity and linear range often encountered with traditional antibody-enzyme conjugates. Prior to Thunder-Link® such biomolecules were difficult and expensive to develop and required specialist knowledge.

Commenting on the launch Nick Gee, CEO, ‘All of Innova’s products in one way or other are geared towards generating conjugates more easily and quickly and improving assay performance. The launch of the Thunder-Link® range of oligo conjugation products firmly places Innova as a key reagent supplier to the diagnostic industry and will assist in bringing high performance diagnostic kits to market.’

About Innova Biosciences Limited
Innova Biosciences is a growing, dynamic business based in Cambridge, UK. At the core of Innova’s business are Lightning-Link® and InnovaCoat® technologies that simplify the production of antibody-based reagents. The expanding portfolio of products is sold to research laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies and diagnostic companies worldwide. The company is ISO 9001:2008 certified.

Eating Recovery Center Offers Guidance to Help Individuals Avoid Eating Disorders Relapse

Leave a comment

International treatment center encourages four strategies for living a life of recovery

Denver, CO, February 20, 2013 – Tens of millions of Americans struggle with eating disorders, including a growing population of baby boomers, adolescents and children. For individuals in recovery from these complex illnesses, a frightening reality is the possibility of eating disorders relapse. In fact, a 2005 study in the European Eating Disorders Review found that more than one-third of individuals who have struggled with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa will experience an eating disorders relapse in the first two and a half years after leaving a treatment center.

With National Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2013 taking place next week, February 24-March 2, Eating Recovery Center, an international center providing comprehensive treatment for eating disorders, seeks to highlight the skills and support structures that help men, women and children live a life of recovery. Recognizing that the hardest work of recovery often begins upon returning to “real life” following intensive eating disorders treatment, Eating Recovery Center offers these four strategies to help individuals protect their health and avoid eating disorders relapse.

1. Remain actively engaged with the aftercare plan. Discharge planning and the development of a recovery-focused post-treatment strategy are critical in creating sustainable recoveries and preventing relapse. These individualized aftercare plans are created by licensed therapists who work closely with a patient’s treatment team to identify emotional, behavioral and situational discharge challenges, and outline personal and recovery-focused goals.

2. Develop a strong supportive network. Friends, family and colleagues who have been educated about eating disorders and understand how to support a loved one in his or her recovery can be very helpful in sustaining recovery. Many individuals find a strong recovery-focused community through the alumni programming offered by many treatment centers. These programs generally provide ongoing education, events and a sense of community to support a life of eating disorders recovery.

3. Identify values and pursue valued life directions. Values not only serve as a compass for people’s lives, but also help individuals with eating disorders understand why change is necessary and pursue that change, even when it feels overwhelmingly difficult. Not surprisingly, identifying values and valued life directions are key components of the eating disorders recovery process. Taking time to be in touch with values and align thoughts and actions with valued life directions can help sustain recovery, even in times of stress or challenges.

4. Seek help. Sustainable recoveries do not just happen. Individuals and families in recovery from eating disorders must work diligently to protect and maintain a healthy weight and body image. The need for additional support – through support groups, outpatient therapy or an intensive treatment program – does not indicate failure, but rather underscores an ongoing commitment to doing whatever it takes to sustain eating disorders recovery.

“By nature, individuals with eating disorders tend to be perfectionistic and high achieving—they like to do things right, and they like to be the best at their endeavors,” explains Julie Holland, MHS, CEDS, chief marketing officer at Eating Recovery Center. “Their approach to recovery is generally no different, and patients often struggle to understand that life without an eating disorder looks different for every individual and there is no ‘right’ or ‘perfect’ way to live a life of recovery. In addition to developing recovery skills and implementing effective support systems, patients must also accept that challenges are likely to arise and understand that they have not failed even if recovery lapses occur.”
