Hanoi, Vietnam, February 05, 2014 – Luxury Travel Vietnam founder Pham Ha said “we’re really excited to be working with PiC Travel in the UK as their ambition and passion meets our own.

Vietnam is now one of the top ten destinations in Asia with the luxury sector being the fastest growing segment.

URALCHEM sets a record in Russia for the production of Ammonia

Leave a comment

URALCHEM set an absolute record in 2013 for the highest output of ammonia in Russia, with the total output of 2.819 million tonnes. Compared with 2012, production grew by 1.3%. The market situation in the ammonia segment of the global fertilizer market allowed the company to steadily follow its general production strategy.

Moscow, Russia (February 5, 2014) — URALCHEM set an absolute record in 2013 for the highest output of ammonia in Russia, with the total output of 2.819 million tonnes. Compared with 2012, production grew by 1.3%. The increased production was achieved through stable work of the units during the year, the implementation of projects to increase daily production at the units in the group’s enterprises in the Perm region and in Kirovo-Chepetsk, as well as through shortening repair down-time. The market situation in the ammonia segment of the global fertilizer market allowed the company to steadily follow its general production strategy.

URALCHEM’s production of major commodity products in 2013 comprised 6.039 million tonnes, 0.3% higher than a year earlier. Production of ammonium nitrate and its derivatives was 2.789 million tonnes, an increase by 7% compared to the same period last year. Monitoring the market situation, the company adjusted its production to the existing demand. Production of ammonia was decreased by 3% to 768 thousand tonnes. Urea production decreased by 2% to 1.138 million tonnes. Production of compound fertilizers decreased by 5%, to 581 thousand tonnes. Production of phosphate fertilizers (MAP / DAP) decreased by 13%, to 433 thousand tonnes.

Dmitry Konyaev, CEO of URALCHEM, OJSC, commented on the results, “In 2013 URALCHEM cemented its leadership of the nitrogen segment. It retained first place in Russia for the production of ammonia and ammonium nitrate, and the second in the production of urea. At the same time, an unfavourable situation for manufacturers in the global fertilizer market has reduced the output of certain products, primarily phosphorus fertilizers. In difficult market conditions, URALCHEM showed its significant margin of safety and ability to develop. In 2013, we successfully completed our largest logistics project when we opened a terminal in Riga for transhipment of bulk fertilizers with the capacity of up to 2 million tonnes per year. We signed an agreement on cooperation with the world’s top developer and licensor of urea processes, Stamicarbon. At the end of 2013 we acquired a 19.99 % stake in Uralkali, which we see as a strategic investment in one of the most profitable and promising sectors of the fertilizer market.”

ALIPAC Drops Endorsement for US Senator Dean Heller Over His Vote for Amnesty

Leave a comment

ALIPAC is updating its endorsements list to help voters in 2014 pick between candidates who support America’s existing immigration and border laws and those who would destroy America’s borders with immigration reform amnesty for illegal aliens.

Raleigh, NC, USA (February 5, 2014) — Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) Press@alipac.us / (866) 703-0864

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is updating its endorsements list to help voters in 2014 pick between candidates who support America’s existing immigration and border laws and those who would destroy America’s borders with immigration reform amnesty for illegal aliens.

ALIPAC’s prior endorsement of Senator Dean Heller is being rescinded and Heller is being added to the “Senate Traitors” list for targeting for removal from office in his next election because Heller voted for the Senate Amnesty bill (S 744) in 2013, worked with corrupt Senator Harry Reid to insert pork and kickbacks for casinos into the bill, and allowed his legislative grades at NumbersUSA to drop from an A+ to a C-.

“Senator Heller looks like one of those sellouts who sold his soul to afford the expenses of moving up to the Senate from the US House,” said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. “Dean Heller is clearly on the payroll of the illegal alien hiring casinos and hotels in Vegas and he is now selling out all Americans by supporting amnesty for illegal aliens legislation. No wonder so many illegal aliens are feloniously voting in US elections in Las Vegas without repercussions when both US Senators for Nevada are in the bag for organized crime!”

ALIPAC is America’s largest Political Action Committee addressing the issues of illegal immigration and immigration reform amnesty for illegals. Founded on 9/11 of 2004 in honor of the victims of 9/11 who perished due to the inadequate enforcement of America’s immigration and border laws, ALIPAC currently endorses more than 130 incumbent members of Congress.

Many challengers are being added to ALIPAC’s endorsements as federal candidate surveys are returned. ALIPAC has made a special priority of educating GOP Primary voters and potential candidates about the 35 Republicans in the US House and several in the Senate, including Dean Heller, who are supporting Obama’s push for amnesty for illegal aliens.

ALIPAC is now banned from national television networks that also support amnesty for illegal aliens, such as Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, etc… because those networks do not want the following comments to be aired.

“If Congress and the Senate rubber stamp Obama’s unlawful and unConstitutional amnesty decrees for illegal aliens by passing a bill, then the borders of the United States will be destroyed forevermore!” warns William Gheen. “More than 80% of Americans are crying out for the borders to be secured and all states to be protected from this invasion as the Constitution requires. Such an honorable goal will become politically impossible if 20 million illegals are allowed to stay and pursue a path to citizenship and voting rights!”

For more information about which federal candidates support America’s existing immigration laws and which ones are trying to destroy those laws like Dean Heller, please visit http://www.alipac.us.

New Cooking Classes at Nacel’s Sports Summer Camp in France

Leave a comment

French summer camp introduces cooking classes to add to sports training during a two week summer sports camp in Vichy, France. French is the language for all activities; sports include tennis, basketball soccer or a multi-sport option.

Lyon, Rhone, February 05, 2014 – Nacel International has a brand new course for international students who want to learn French over the summer, while enjoying their favorite sports. The summer camps, run by our sports affiliate Sports Elites Jeunes (SEJ), have introduced the option to take French cooking classes in the morning followed by afternoon basketball, tennis or soccer training, or the multisport camp which introduces campers to a new sport each day from, rafting, badminton, volleyball and more. The advantage of the camps is the immersive French language environment offered by living, training and learning in France, where coaches, staff and the majority of students are French. Students, who come to the camps to improve their athletic skills, can now opt for a morning session of French cuisine instead of the three hours of language courses which have been the norm until now.

The cooking course, run by a master-chef, teaches culinary techniques and simple recipes that are easy to prepare at home. Through practical experience, the course aims to awaken the five senses of smell, sight, hearing, touch and taste. The workshops take place in a specially equipped teaching kitchen. Topics will include an introduction to the sense of taste, measuring ingredients, conversions, seasonality of foods, sports nutrition and more.

The classes, taught in French, will give students the opportunity to practice a wide range of vocabulary, focused on the selection and preparation of ingredients and the techniques and tools used in the process.

International students will not only come home with improved sports skills, a French cultural experience and new friends, but they will also be able to share their favorite recipes from the following list (and more) of mouth watering delights:

* Verrine de Thon au Saumon Fumé et Crevettes

* Crumble aux Fruits Rouges

* Crèpes Suzette

* Fondant au Chocolat

The sports summer camps are run as two week sessions, starting on June 29th, July 13th and 27th and August 10th. Nacel staff pick-up registered participants at Paris International airport and accompany them to the train station, where they meet up with other campers traveling to Vichy by train. All the campers arrive by 5pm on the first day, in time for the evening ice breaker activities, where the coaches introduce the week’s program, play games with students to get everyone talking and help them settle into the residence with their new roommates. One sports activity can welcome up to 100 participants on a single session, so the camps are spread out across four campuses in Vichy, based on the chosen sport.

In the morning, students taking the cooking class, meet-up with participants from other camps, with further opportunities to make friends. In the afternoon, they join those taking other morning electives such as French, English and Spanish language courses or the intensive sports options, for their sports training sessions. Once more, thanks to the number of students who participate on the Nacel Sports summer camps, they will be grouped in teams according to their age and ability level.

Depending on the sport, there is one coach for every 6 to 9 players; coaches also socialize with students after training hours, giving a high level of personal attention to the individual skill development of every player. Many coaches return to the camps every summer, because they see them as a unique way to develop a love of sport in a nurturing environment. Often time, they are past campers who wish to give back to younger generations, the same attention they once received.

The cost for the Cooking + Sport options is 1,580 Euros for soccer, basketball and the multisport options and Cooking + Tennis is 1,695 Euros (approximately $2,160 and $2,320 respectively based on the Euro exchange rate on 27/01/2014), which includes the airport transfers, shared residential accommodation, full board, cooking course and sports training. For more information on the Vichy summer sports camp please use our contact form with Cooking + Sport in the message or call our number in the United States: 651.315.7880.

Since 1957, Nacel’s programs have given young people the opportunity to discover new things about themselves and the world around them. Nacel’s programs bring people together to enhance cultural and linguistic awareness and to promote international friendship and harmony. Nacel is an accredited member of many professional language travel industry organizations. We value the quality of our programs, and our customers’ satisfaction is our goal. Watch an interview with the camp director.

Healthcare Has A New Villain Exposed by Author Willie L. Stewart’s Novel ‘taRNished’

Leave a comment

Highly acclaimed new author and critical care Registered Nurse Willie L. Stewart and his debut novel “taRNished” have captured healthcare’s newest diabolical mind and his name is Dale, a Registered Nurse serial killer.

Wesley Chapel, FL (USA), February 03, 2014 — Highly acclaimed new author and critical care Registered Nurse Willie L. Stewart and his debut novel “taRNished” have captured healthcare’s newest diabolical mind and his name is Dale, a Registered Nurse serial killer.

Based on an expanded reality resulting from new healthcare laws, “taRNished” explores the myriad levels of underlying issues which allow for pathological individuals to thrive and hide in the environment created by the soon to be even further overburdened healthcare system which our country so depends on.

“taRNished,’ could be set in any major city with an exploding population and an overtaxed hospital system manned by over tasked, exhausted and disgusted care providers. This novel is sure to entertain while shaking up the very foundation of healthcare and the public’s confidence in that system…will it spark debate…will it create panic? The jury is out, but early reviews indicate, “taRNished” could well be one of the most important book releases of 2014.

Early reviewers include Valerie Graves who served on the 1992 Clinton/Gore advertising team and is the former creative director at nelson Communications, Inc., the health communications giant.

Ms. Graves says, “Wow! tarnished drew me right into the diabolical world of Dale and Isabel. They are two of the most coldblooded killers the medical profession may have ever produced.”

About author Willie L. Stewart:
A critical care Registered Nurse with over 13 years in various critical care settings, Mr. Stewart brings a level of expertise to the relevant topics of today’s media that are highlighted in his debut novel “taRNished.”

Willie is a member of the Tampa Writer’s Alliance and the Florida Writer’s Association, as a creative mind, he has published multiple articles, global press releases and executive produced an online talk show which won an award against the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Steve Harvey and Michael Baisden. His talk show was the only independent talk show in consideration in the competition with these heavyweights.

Healthy Relationships Lead to Healthy Living

Leave a comment

In his new book, The Whole Life, Healthy Human Living, author Jerry Blevins describes the four relationships we have in human living —- God, Self, Others and Nature.

Houston, TX (USA), February 03, 2014 — In his new book, The Whole Life, Healthy Human Living, author Jerry Blevins describes the four relationships we have in human living —- God, Self, Others and Nature. The book stresses the interrelationship of all four areas. “We cannot have a relationship in any one of the areas without involving the other three as well,” Blevins said. “It is important that the relationships are healthy in all four areas,” said the author.

Since living includes confronting life in many ways, the chapters in The Whole Life, Healthy Human Living deal with the difference between constructive anxiety and destructive anxiety, as well as the five characteristics of a good worker; dealing with stress; the meaning of peace; before and after the wedding; making and enjoying friendships; and dealing with many other contexts and decisions that we face daily.

Published by Halo Publishing International, The Whole Life, Healthy Human Living emphasizes that good working characteristics include enthusiasm, energy, focus, creativity and patience. “These are all important characteristics for success in life and Jerry Blevins’ book gives readers awareness of how to achieve a healthy, whole existence in our world,” said Publisher Lisa Umina.

Blevins said we stray from our path when we do not have healthy relationships with God. Self, Others and Nature. “It is important to learn the difference between constructive anxiety and destructive anxiety.”

Blevins had a career as a Presbyterian minister and recently retired from North Central Michigan College where he taught in the departments of World Religion, Philosophy and American History. A native of Akron, Ohio, he earned a bachelor’s degree from Anderson University in Anderson, Indiana and a master’s degree from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. He has worked with students at Ball State University, Purdue University, Huntington Indiana College and Northern Illinois University.

Blevins lives in Michigan with his wife of 30 years, Sue. The couple has five children and seven grandchildren. The author enjoys watching all kinds of sporting events and playing golf.

Parallel Infrastructure Offers New Fiber Optic Network along Florida’s East Coast, from Miami to Jacksonville

Leave a comment

New Superhighway Promises Broader Capacity and Faster Data Transmission.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (February 3, 2014) — Parallel Infrastructure LLC, a leading right-of-way (ROW) land management and communications infrastructure development company, today announced it is offering a new fiber optic network along its right-of-way (ROW) corridor that runs along Florida’s east coast from Miami to Jacksonville. These new fiber strands will offer increased speed and capacity and will be operational by the end of the year.

According to Parallel Infrastructure President and CEO, Frank Chechile, the company is already receiving interest from potential customers who want to take advantage of this new broadband infrastructure. “It’s been more than a decade since the last fiber cables were installed along this 351-mile corridor,” Chechile commented. “These new, low-latency strands can transfer large amounts of data faster, and are in high demand.”

The nature of the new, state-of-the art fiber infrastructure will allow companies to increase their capacity to support their needs without incurring additional operational expenses for each incremental bit transmitted. The network system will serve companies such as telephone and wireless carriers, utility companies, cable companies, data centers, municipalities, and other educational and healthcare businesses that transmit large amounts of data on a regular basis. Additionally, the fiber will be used to support the needs of All Aboard Florida, the country’s first privately owned and operated intercity passenger rail that will provide service along Florida’s east coast.

“There are added economic benefits to expanding Florida’s broadband infrastructure,” added Chechile. “This project will not only create more jobs locally, but thanks to Parallel Infrastructure’s ability to combine two of the most sought-after assets in telecom-contiguous land and dark fiber-we are better positioned to attract more high-tech companies to the region and fuel the growth of existing companies.”

Parallel Infrastructure manages a total of 1,700 miles of ROW corridor across 22 states on behalf of a prestigious list of railroad landowners. According to Chechile, the company is investigating plans to construct similar fiber optic networks along these routes over the next 24 months.
