Invite 6 to 8 of your friends for a few hours of fun, education and potentially life-saving instruction with one of their SAFE Women’s Self Defense Parties. Plan a meal, snacks, or dessert, and be prepared for a unique self defense experience! What has made them so popular is their unique method of teaching with humour and sharing of anecdotes. Get to experience the simulated attacks in scenario specific situations such as at the front door, the kitchen, the car, etc.

SAFE International Kitchener Self Defense for high school students. SAFE International has become Canada’s most popular high school course for both boys and girls due to the fact that they are not teaching martial arts, but rather a practical approach to personal safety with an emphasis on detecting and defusing potentially dangerous situations. All of our instructors are certified through SAFE International and have a unique ability to reach the students in an effective and memorable manner. SAFE International teaches approximately 13,000 students each year with a heavy presence teaching self defense in Kitchener, ON.

SAFE International offers Kitchener Corporate Self Defense Courses. This self-protection seminar will provide employees with tips and strategies to recognize and avoid personal security risks while on the job.

The knowledge they gain from the seminar can be applied to all aspects of their profession – sales, interacting with customers, travel, and other work related transactions.

SAFE International instructors cover many devastating strikes such as eye rakes, palm strikes, elbows, knees, kicks plus how to attack other vulnerable areas of the body. A very popular concept taught at any Ottawa Self Defense course is, “The Shredder”, which can be best described as an extremely effective Close Quarter Concept that can be utilized in a wide range of low to potentially high level violent scenarios. The Shredder targets the most vulnerable areas of the attacker without having to memorize countless “techniques”. Another major benefit of the Shredder is that it does not require years to learn.  It is a concept of self defense that immediately disrupts the attacker’s ability to continue their attack, and allows the tables to be turned quickly and effectively in the victims favour.

Most Eagerly Awaited Annual Event Since 2004 – the “11th China Products Exhibition” To Boost Manufacturing And Trading Opportunities For Indian Entrepreneurs

Leave a comment

* Chinese and Hong Kong companies from more than 40 sectors to come to Mumbai with a variety of industrial and consumer products. * Style Hong Kong Pavilion will be an added attraction.

Mumbai, India, October 28th, 2013 — Being organized since 2004, the 11th edition of “China Products (Mumbai, India) Exhibition” will take place from 26th – 28th November, 2013 at the Bombay Convention and Exhibition Centre, Goregaon (East), Mumbai, India. The longest running China Exhibition in India and also the definitive international sourcing platform for Indian business enterprises, this unique trade expo showcases more than 40 industries and verticals. The 11th China Products Exhibition will have an added attraction in the form of a Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) pavilion where companies from Hong Kong will showcase their range of stylish and contemporary products. Providing complimentary business matching services, the Exhibition assists Indian businesses in meeting their future business partners from China and Hong Kong.

The current edition is covering an extensive range of products across a wide section of industries like consumer electronics & durables, home appliances, fashion jewellery & accessories, machinery, machine tools, mechanical & electrical equipment & parts, power tillers, hydraulic equipment, grinding products, UPVC doors, wallpaper, medical equipment, traditional Chinese medicine, ceramic products, food & beverages, toys, LED products, silk, leather, fibres & yarns.

Powering Indian entrepreneurs to succeed for the 11th consecutive year, the Exhibition will help Indian enterprises source machinery and components from China – providing quality products at lower rates and logistics costs – thus bringing down manufacturing costs. Additionally, Indian traders, importers and distributors can source an extensive range of consumer products at more affordable prices for the burgeoning retail industry.

Despite the global and local scenario, the Indian economy is growing due to strong domestic consumption. With a rising middle class population expected to reach 267 million by 2015-16, as well as the world’s youngest population, the consumption pattern is expected to shift from food items to discretionary spending. The show offers an excellent opportunity for brands and companies to develop businesses in the areas of services and manufacturing along with the growing consumer market. India is also home to 48.8 million SMEs and 5 thousand large enterprises. This in itself is a huge potential market for companies to service the SME market owing to increasing need for efficiency and collaboration.

The trade show is being organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), Guangdong Provincial Committee, Sub-councils of Commercial Industry, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Sichuan, Wuhan, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Co-operation of Guangdong Province and Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute. The Exhibition is supported by the All India Association of Industries (AIAI), the India-China Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ICCCI), the Indian Merchants’ Chamber (IMC) and managed by Worldex India.

Sweet Swan Story Helps Children Learn Courtesy

Leave a comment

Revered columnist Miss Manners certainly would approve of author Beth Consugar’s new book, Swanee Day. “It’s all about being polite,” Consugar said.

Houston, TX (USA), October 25, 2013 — Recently published through Halo Publishing International, Swanee Day is a short story that teaches a lesson about the importance of good manners. Consugar said it is an enjoyable book for children age three to six and their parents. “Swanee Day is an important holiday for swans, and one of them, Grace, has forgotten her manners,” the author explained. “She needs to remember her manners before the holiday is over.”

Consugar said interacting with people is a huge part of life, so it is essential that children learn how to respectfully treat others.

Halo Publisher Lisa Umina said Swanee Day offers a way for children to learn courtesy, an important part of humanity. “Beth Consugar has written a sweet story that teaches a valuable lesson,” Umina said.

A career Certified Public Accountant in Pennsylvania, Consugar participates in an online forum for writers. The group issued a challenge to write a short story that teaches a lesson, and Swanee Day was born.

The author grew up in the coal regions of Pennsylvania and is the oldest of four children. She still lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, Bill. Watching their school-age daughter read and listen to books inspired Consugar to write. She completed a course with the Institute of Children’s Literature. In addition to reading and writing, the author loves spending time with her family, cross-stitch and hiking.

Consugar earned her accounting degree at Pennsylvania State University. She is a longtime member of the American Business Woman’s Association and serves as vice president of her local chapter and chairperson of several committees.

To reach Consugar, e-mail her at bethpsu2002@yahoo.com. To order Swanee Day, visit www.halopublishing.com.

PRB Leather Co Launches First Minimalist Product Line

Leave a comment

Leather Craftsman Raises Funding with Kickstarter Campaign.

Merritt Island, FL (USA), October 25, 2013 — Paul R. Brooks, an experienced leather craftsman who began working with leather in the early 1970s, recently launched his first line of minimalist wallets on the popular crowdfunding website Kickstarter.

Paul Brooks, known amongst friends and family as “The Craftsman,” has developed a uniquely shaped minimalist wallet which balances the handcrafted style for which he is known along with a sleek and polished finished product. Showcasing a wave design on the front, the wallet is reminiscent of his surfer roots and love for the ocean.

Although each wallet is hand-cut, hand-stained, hand-punched, hand-stamped, and hand-sewn, the finished product has been described as top-notch and precise. Holding “just enough to keep life simple,” PRB Leather Co wallets are both functional and beautiful.

Paul’s Kickstarter campaign runs through November 17th and the wallets will be crafted and shipped in time for the holidays. Visit his campaign by searching PRB Leather Co on Kickstarter.com.

About PRB Leather Co:
Paul R. Brooks first started working with leather in the 70s, making and selling leather goods on the streets of California and Maryland. A few years ago his four children encouraged him to set up shop again, and the Brooks family began stocking Paul’s leather workroom with work benches, tools, dyes, beautiful pieces of leather, and even alligator skins that his son Levi caught in the swampy marshes of Florida. This craftsman’s unique handcrafted leather work is now offered worldwide via his website, where he sells beautiful, simple, functional leather goods that can be used every day. Paul can be contacted via email at prbleatherco@gmail.com or Facebook.

Leave a comment

Zevrix Solutions announces LinkOptimizer 4.8.7, a compatibility update to its popular workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer allows to reduce InDesign link size and speed up processing by eliminating excess image data; performs essential image adjustments, converts image formats and more. The new version makes LinkOptimizer compatible with recently released Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

Toronto (ON), Canada (October 24, 2013) — Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of LinkOptimizer 4.8.7, a compatibility update to its popular workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks allowing to significantly reduce the size of InDesign links, save processing time and reduce production costs.

The new version makes LinkOptimizer compatible with recently released Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks. It also introduces interface improvements that allow users to better identify the available options in the image format conversion tab. The update is free to LinkOptimizer users.

LinkOptimizer works automatically with Adobe Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

–scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign,
-change their resolution to 300 dpi,
–convert RGB images to CMYK,
-apply color profile,
-resave JPEG images as TIFF,
-run a Photoshop Action on each image.

At the end of processing, LinkOptimizer reimports images to InDesign at 100% in their precise position. In addition, the software can apply sharpening filters, merge layers and delete hidden ones, and process copies of InDesign documents and images instead of original files. As a result, users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually; accelerate document output; reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.

Pricing and Availability:
LinkOptimizer can be purchased from Zevrix website for US$259.95 (Light version: $179.95) as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The update is free for LinkOptimizer 4.x users and $98.78 to upgrade from previous versions.
