LondonTown.com anuncia la llegada de The Vaccines y su “Wreckin’ Bar (Ra Ra Ra)” al O2 Arena de Londres

La nueva sensación de la escena indie, el grupo británico The Vacciones, dará otro paso más en su ascenso al éxito mundial con un concierto en el O2 Arena de Greenwich, Londres, el jueves 2 de mayo. Con su actuación en la enorme sala londinense, en la que ya ofrecieron recitales leyendas del rock como The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin o Radiohead, el grupo marcará un antes y después en su breve pero meteórica trayectoria. En 18 meses no sólo han publicado dos álbumes sino también han logrado premios como el de Mejor Grupo en Directo en los Brit Awards 2013.

En el O2 Arena sonarán temas de su álbum “Come Of Age”, número uno en ventas, y su predecesor, “What Did You Expect from the Vaccines?”. Además, el grupo promete incorporar a su repertorio nuevo material que formará parte de su tercer trabajo. Tan sólo unas semanas después del show en el O2, el grupo hará de telonero de los mismísimos Rolling Stones en Hyde Park, en otra oportunidad para ver a los londinenses en la cima del éxito.

El O2 Arena se ha convertido, desde su construcción, en una de las salas de conciertos más importante de Londres. Pieza central del denominado Millennium Dome, el recinto tiene capacidad para 20.000 personas y alberga todo tipo de eventos, por lo que la oferta hotelera en la zona es abundante. Fans de los The Vaccines que busquen un hotel en Londres podrán encontrar en el portal LondonTown.com grandes descuentos en establecimientos cercanos al O2 Arena para la noche de la actuación.

Entre las ofertas anunciadas, destaca el 53% de descuento en el hotel de cuatro estrellas Radisson Blu Edwardian New Providence Wharf, a menos de 10 minutos del O2, y el 72% de descuento que se ofrece en el Ibis London Docklands, con habitaciones dobles disponibles desde tan sólo 54 libras.

La aclamada obra La Bohèmecautivará el Coliseo

El Coliseo de Londres será el escenario de una de las óperas más exitosas desde mayo hasta junio. La Boh è mede Puccini es sin duda alguna una de las óperas más famosas de todos los tiempos y la producción de Jonathan Miller para ENO se ha convertido en clásico desde su debut en 2009. Los amantes de la ópera que visiten la ciudad, o cualquiera atraído por una noche de romance y drama, no podrían estar en mejores manos.

La interpretación de Jonathan Miller reubica la historia de amor de Rodolfo,el poeta, y Mimi, la costurera, en París inspirado por la fotografía del margen izquierdo de Brassai en la década de los 30 y, según Miller, por la película Withnaily Yo. El resultado es un ambiente bohemio descarnadamentemodernizado de desvanes helados, sucias calles y un glamur gastado, todo con gran detalle cinematográfico gracias a la diseñadora del decorado IsabellaBywater.

Con dichas credenciales – incluida la tan cacareada soprano Kate Valentine y el conocido tenor Gwyn Hughes Jones con el papel de los amantes desafortunados – seguro que La Bohèmeserá un éxito de ventas en el Coliseo.

En reconocimiento a la gran popularidad de este show, LondonTown.com, la principal web de reservas hoteleras y eventos, ofrece una selección de Londres hoteles a poca distancia del Coliseo y a precios especiales.

Entre las ofertas está el hotel de cinco estrellas StMartinsLane (A Morgan Original), a unos pasos del Coliseo y considerado como uno de los hoteles con más estilos y opulentos de Londres. Las dobles se pueden reservar a través de LondonTown.com con un descuento del 26%.

Y un descuento todavía más impresionante del 48% se ofrece en el Radisson Blu Edwardian Leicester Square Hotel, con una ubicación igualmente conveniente y fácil acceso a lo mejor del West End.

Varsity Tutors Partners with Coinbase to Accept Bitcoin for Tutoring Services

New Currency Allows More Convenience, Fewer Fees for International Students & Their Families

St. Louis, MO, April 25, 2013 – Varsity Tutors, a premier private academic tutoring and test prep provider, today announced that it is now accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment for its in-person and live-online tutoring services. While all clients will be able to pay using Bitcoin, the company anticipates that the greatest demand will be from students located abroad who purchase Skype-tutoring. Previously, international students seeking Varsity Tutors’ services, most often for language tutoring or SAT, GMAT, LSAT and MCAT test prep, could only process payment by credit card or bank transfer which assess foreign transaction fees. The addition of Bitcoin to its payment options will allow those who have adopted the digital currency to avoid traditional currency conversion costs.

“At Varsity Tutors, we’re constantly seeking out ways to better serve our clients, so if digital currency can make it easier for international students to access our tutoring services, it seems only natural to embrace it,” said Chuck Cohn, founder and CEO of Varsity Tutors. “Logistically, the process of integrating Bitcoin into our payment structure was very easy, and any simple change that can improve the client experience is a no-brainer.”

Varsity Tutors is accepting Bitcoin payment through Coinbase. A believer in the currency and technology, Cohn actually began investing in Bitcoin and the payment service last year. “As an entrepreneur, I’m a strong supporter of efficient and innovative technologies, so I’m very interested in the potential of digital currency not only in my business, but in the larger marketplace,” said Cohn.

Varsity Tutors provides in-home academic tutoring and test prep services in 19 major U.S. metro areas, as well as online via Skype. Students are expertly matched with a private tutor who delivers personalized, one-on-one instruction in any subject from STEM to the humanities, as well as preparation for standardized exams at all levels of education from K-12 to graduate school.

Vegas Versus Victoria Falls: Which Vacation Is The Better Value?

Study compares costs of 10 global adventure trips with rates at 3-4 star hotels.

(For Immediate Release) April 26, 2013 — Today’s travelers seek memorable experiences when they vacation. A recent cost comparison study shows that global adventures can be more affordable than many three and four-star hotel stays. The research by AdventureLink.com suggests that cost-conscious consumers may wish to consider adventure travel as an alternative to traditional “been-there done-that” hotel stays.

Despite ongoing worries about the economy, the adventure travel industry is growing at 17 percent per year, according to the Adventure Travel Trade Association. The growth is being fueled by aging baby boomers seeking more value from their vacation travel experiences. “Many travelers don’t realize that some of the most sought-after adventure trips in the world cost less per day than staying in three and four-star hotels in major cities,” says Kelly Tompkins, Founder & CEO of AdventureLink Travel Inc.

In the study, AdventureLink.com compared 10 popular trips-such as African safaris, climbing Machu Picchu, and walking tours of Europe-to the cost of staying at three and four-star hotels across major destinations.

As with hotel stays, adventure tours typically do not include airfare. But adventure vacations do often include the cost of lodging, meals and in many cases a guide and local transportation.

“Everybody is value-conscious. So when I share with friends the adventures they can have for as little as $59 dollars a day, they often can’t believe it,” notes adventure travel pioneer Richard Bangs, an AdventureLink board member. Bangs points out that AdventureLink.com alone offers over 350 trips that cost less than $59 per day, roughly the cost of a night at a Motel 6.

“Most people are unaware that meaningful, affordable adventure travel options exist. That’s why we created AdventureLink.com,” Tompkins adds.

Moving Right Along Presents Moving Solutions for Business and Residential Moves Alike

“When one goes to change his or her residence, the right moving company helps to make the transition smooth in every way,” Jim Rueda of Moving Right Along (MovingRightAlong.com) states.

Ozone Park, NY (April 25, 2012) — According to the 2007 American Community Survey (ACS), the average American moves 11.7 times in his or her lifetime. The satisfaction of a move depends in great part on the moving company selected. “When one goes to change his or her residence, the right moving company helps to make the transition smooth in every way,” Jim Rueda of Moving Right Along (http://www.movingrightalong.com) states.

Whether one is moving to a new residence or new commercial location, he or she needs to feel comfortable with the moving company selected as the movers are handling his or her possessions. “Each possession in a home or office is chosen with care by the owner. Movers need to remember this at all times and treat each item as if it were their own. Many moving companies seem to forget this,” Mr. Rueda continues.

Items such as fine art and antiques or musical instruments such as a piano require special treatment. Special equipment may be needed to transport these items safely or special packing materials must be used. “Moving Right Along (http://www.movingrightalong.com/moving.html) understands this and equips each truck with a wide range of packing supplies and special equipment to properly care for these items,” Mr. Rueda goes on to say.

No two businesses are alike and therefore no two commercial moves are identical either. Some companies find themselves in need of records storage while others wish to have warehousing and distribution help. When a company chooses to relocate, Moving Right Along (http://www.movingrightalong.com/commercial.html) sends in a project manager to assess the situation and map out a plan for the move. “Having this service reduces the amount of downtime a company experiences during a move. With competition fierce in many industries, customers appreciate this as it ensures they don’t fall back in terms of their competition during a move,” Mr. Rueda explains.

Moving Right Along offers many other services consumers may find they need when switching residences or commercial locations. From junk removal and home cleaning services to fumigation and storage, Moving Right Along strives to meet the needs of customers in every area. “The fewer companies involved in a move, the easier the entire process becomes which is why many in New York look no further than Moving Right Along,” Mr. Rueda stresses.

About Moving Right Along:

Moving Right Along began as a part time venture in 1976 when it was known as Jim’s Moving Company. In 1981, Jim completed his Bachelor of Business Administration Degree in Marketing at Baruch University and he opted to change the name to Moving Right Along Service, Inc. Although the name changed, the company’s commitment to reliable and friendly service at a great low price remained. During the 1980s, the company expanded from a one truck operation to an eight truck organization. In 1988, Jim chose to purchase a Packaging Plus franchise which led to him branching out in many other areas. Services offered now include crating, interstate and international moving and containerized storage. Over the years, Jim has personally overseen all company operations and works to ensure a client’s transition to a new home or office is smooth thanks to quick and quality service.

Yale Pest Elimination Warns of Rising Bed Bug Infestions

“Bed bug infestations need to be treated immediately as the bugs bite and may cause allergic reactions,” according to Jim Miller of Yale Termite and Pest Elimination (YalePest.com).

Ansonia, CT (April 25, 2013) — According to a survey conducted by the NPMA and the University of Kentucky, 95 percent of professional pest management companies in the United States have dealt with an infestation of bed bugs in the last twelve months. Before 2000, only 25 percent reported one or more encounters with these creatures. “Bed bug infestations need to be treated immediately as the bugs bite and may cause allergic reactions,” according to Jim Miller of Yale Termite and Pest Elimination (http://www.yalepest.com).

Home owners often attempt to treat this problem on their own with very little success. According to those surveyed, bed bugs continue to be the hardest pest to treat. An overwhelming 76 percent of respondents stated bed bugs are harder to treat than ants, termites and cockroaches. “Property owners need to seek the services of a professional pest company (http://www.yalepest.com/extermination-services/bed-bugs/bed-bug-exterminator) to get rid of the bugs as a bed bug may lay more than 500 eggs in their lifetime,” Mr. Miller continues.

Bed bugs don’t need food to survive either as a bed bug can go months without a meal. The hatchlings are minuscule and easily pass through stitch-holes in mattresses and other tiny openings. They survive in a wide range of temperatures and ingest up to seven times their body weight in blood. “Any property owner who suspects he or she has bed bugs needs to call in a professional exterminator (http://www.yalepest.com/extermination-services) right away,” Mr. Miller declares.

Bed bugs don’t transmit disease, yet can lead to an allergic reaction. They take up residence in clean and unclean homes and buildings although 37 percent do believe they are attracted to those homes and offices which are dirty. Household income doesn’t play a role in where bed bugs live either.

“Every home and office is susceptible to bed bugs as they may be picked up in a wide variety of locations. Bed bugs catch a ride on people and their belongings, making it possible to pick the bugs up in hotels, college dorms, public transportation, movie theaters and laundry facilities. Although infestations are more common in suburban and urban areas than in rural ones, everyone needs to be aware of bed bugs and what to look for,” Mr. Miller states.

About Yale Pest Elimination:

Established in 1983, Yale Termite and Pest Elimination Corp remains an industry leader. The family owned and operated company makes use of integrated pest management practices in all that they do. They provide fast and effective pest control solutions for both residential and commercial clients and have been trusted by thousands over the years. The typical client has been with the company for more than five years and all pest control technicians maintain state licensing. The National Pest Management Association recognized Yale Termite and Pest Elimination Corp. for meeting published standards of a QualityPro company.
