JA Carlton’s Adventure Wednesday’s Child Suggests Dark Political Schemes

Leave a comment

Set only a handful of years into the future, speculative fiction piece “Wednesday’s Child”; by novelist JA Carlton, paints an apocalyptic picture of America’s future born from today’s economic and sociopolitical antics.

Austin, TX, March 19, 2012 – “Wednesday’s Child” the first book in JA Carlton’s “Freedom Fighter” series, attempts a prophetic look at the results of the current American sociopolitical climate and one possible effect on our near future.

The series explores the manifest consequences of social narcissism and political vagaries on the unsuspecting population of today’s intentionally misinformed Americans.

Book one, “Wednesday’s Child” introduces the reader to a band of heroes led by a genetically engineered soldier named Jade McKay who comes under investigation for the murder of her Commanding Officer. The investigation is a ploy by a shadowy government agency with its own sinister agenda, to demand her extradition back into their hands.

In a twist of fate, while on a mission Jade learns the true motivations behind her Commander’s murder as well as the motivations behind the enemy’s efforts to retrieve her and use her as a “new Eve” for their eugenics program.

In a last ditch effort to protect herself from extradition, Jade must expose just enough of the government’s plans to the remaining population to motivate her fellow Americans to action without forcing those behind the scenes to destroy what’s left of the country’s people.

Drawing on classic ‘science fiction’ elements like time-travel, to real-life genetic technology; Carlton paints a terrifying picture of corporate driven social and political ambition gone awry. At the same time, she manages to consistently shine an honest light on the best qualities of the people the survivors of this corporate created holocaust sought to destroy.

“The indomitable nature of the human spirit and our ability to overcome adversity is what inspires my stories. Hopefully it always will.” Says Carlton.

JA Carlton is the foundation author at Uneak Press, Inc. an Austin, Tx. based publishing company that seeks out local artisans like their newest addition to the family William Holloway. Holloway’s first novel “The Immortal Body” will be hitting shelves this summer and is already available electronically for both Kindle and Nook.

SAFE International Launches Markham Private Self Defense Lessons – Markham, ON Self Defense

Leave a comment

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include private self defense lessons in Markham, ON.

Markham, ON, March 12, 2012 – (Straight Line PR) – Markham Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Markham Private Self Defense Lessons.

SAFE International ™ is the leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in Ontario. SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include private self defense lessons in Markham, ON.

SAFE International realizes that both women and men don’t necessarily want to join a martial arts club, or even take a public self defense seminar. SAFE International provides their mobile self defense right in the home. This allows SAFE International instructors to tailor the course based on the specific needs and concerns of the client. Self defense training in the home allows the client to be completely relaxed and comfortable training, without being self-conscious of others who might be watching in a public self defense course.

One of the reasons that SAFE International enjoys teaching private self defense Markham, is how receptive men and women are to the skills that the SAFE International instructors provide. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts, rather than techniques. This allows the client to learn in a much shorter time. While some people have hours to dedicate to training, SAFE International can offer some basic, but effective self defense concepts in just a few hours.

SAFE International always covers Awareness and Avoidance strategies which are based on one’s daily routines such as using elevators, car safety, home safety, plus much more. We examine what an attacker looks for, what an attacker wants and doesn’t want in confrontation. One of the biggest topics we explore is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. We cover the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage such as asking for directions or the time. The next stage is verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible. Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, SAFE International covers a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario.

The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Markham private self defense lessons.

Instructors begin with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance. SAFE teaches gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. Complex skills are proven to be ineffective in the high stress of real violence. The main philosophy taught is to “Attack the Attacker” which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator.

SAFE International does not teach martial arts, but rather, practical, easy to adopt and highly effective concepts. Markham Private Self Defense is available to individuals, families, couples, or friends.

SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 clients including mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities.

AuraPortal Stands out from the rest of the BPM vendors in the World Classification “Decision Matrix 2011”

Leave a comment

OVUM is an international independent consultancy company that forms part of the Datamonitor Group. It bases its analysis on over 400,000 interviews with business and technology executives, who provide an unprecedented knowledge, not only of the business requirements, but also of the technology that organizations should be supporting.

Woburn (Boston), MA, March 16, 2012 – AuraPortal (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of Business Process Management (BPM) has announced that its BPM Suite has been placed in a leadership position in the recent report, “Business Process Management Decision Matrix 2011”, from the independent market analyst firm OVUM (Datamonitor Group). This report has highlighted AuraPortal amongst the most prestigious BPM vendors in the global market, including such vendors as IBM, Oracle, Appian and Pegasystems.

AuraPortal surpasses its competitors in all categories but one, “Vertical Specialization”, and in the two most important aspects: “Product Quality” and “Value for Money”, AuraPortal has obtained the highest score (9 points), situating itself clearly above the next best vendor on a scale of 1 to 10.

From a global perspective, AuraPortal is clearly the leader, with a score of 58.5 points in a competition where four of the nine candidates have scored less than 8 points, and the candidate following behind AuraPortal (Appian) has achieved only 35.5 points in total.

According to OVUM, “AuraPortal’s performance has been strong: its scores are consistently high for the User Sentiment dimension”. The report also says that: “Even more interesting is AuraPortal’s presence among enterprises with fewer than 5000 employees, traditionally a BPM blind spot for the larger vendors. This enterprise segment accounts for over 30% of AuraPortal’s business, a higher percentage than that reported by any other vendor featured in this report”.

Mats Wilander to be Featured Host of Rodney Street Tennis and Tutoring Annual Benefit

Leave a comment

Seven time Grand Slam singles tennis champion Mats Wilander will be the featured host at the Rodney Street Tennis and Tutoring Association Benefit on May 4th in Wilmington, DE.

Wilmington, DE, March 15, 2012 – Seven time Grand Slam singles tennis champion Mats Wilander will be the featured host at this year’s Rodney Street Tennis and Tutoring Association Annual Spring Benefit. The event will be held on Friday, May 4 from 6:30pm-9:30pm at the Wilmington Country Club (4825 Kennett Pike, Wilmington, DE, 19807).

“Mats is a great inspiration to adults and young people because of his success on the court, as well as his lifelong passion for the game and his generous spirit,” says Managing Director of Rodney Street Tennis and Tutoring, Tina Tharp. “We are delighted that he will be our benefit host this year.”

Wilander is a former world #1 ranked tennis player who, in addition to winning seven Grand Slam singles championships, was a Wimbledon doubles champion with Joakim Nystrom and has a total of 33 ATP titles to his name. He was a driving force behind several of Sweden’s Davis Cup wins and was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2002.

Founded in 1979, the Rodney Street Tennis & Tutoring Association (RSTTA), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization operating in Wilmington and New Castle County, DE, provides services for at-risk inner-city boys and girls, providing opportunities for children in the Greater Wilmington Region to reach their full potential on and off the tennis court. The organization partners with the School District and the Department of Recreation to provide structured recreational and supplemental educational programming for boys and girls during the after-school hours when they need it the most. The lessons learned from their programs go far beyond tennis; RSTTA combines academics, athletics, nutrition, and civic responsibility to encourage the development of a child from a holistic perspective.

For more information on the 2012 RSTTA Annual Benefit, visit www.rodneystreettennis.org. For more information on Mats Wilander, visit his website at www.wilanderonwheels.com.

AAA agrees that 2012 could be a Great year for Wine investment

Leave a comment

vAn interview with UK-based wine investment fund, Vin-X’s founder and director, Peter Shakeshaft in myfinances.co.uk has underlined the benefits of investing in wine in the current economic climate, claims AAA.

Boston, MA, March 16, 2012 – An interview with UK-based wine investment fund, Vin-X’s founder and director, Peter Shakeshaft in myfinances.co.uk has underlined the benefits of investing in wine in the current economic climate, claims Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

AAA is an alternative investment advocacy group that supports many kinds of alternative investments, including ethical and impact investing. It’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, said, “many more investors are looking to alternative assets these days thanks to the volatility of the stock markets. Alternatives such as forestry, wine, art, commodities, currencies and real estate are attractive to those who want to spread the risk in their portfolios and protect against the impact of macro economic factors,” he explained.

Mr Shakeshaft said that investing in wine is a new market and that those who are new to this market will benefit from “dipping their toe” and beginning with investments of around £1,000 to £3,000 to increase their knowledge of the asset class and the market. He went on to add that 2012 could be the best year for investing in wine since 1993. He told myfinances.co.uk: “One reason [that 2012 could be a good year for investment] is that in 2011, the market had only its third price correction in 25 years.

“This means there are some superb opportunities in the market at the moment,” he added.

He also talked about how the consumption of wine in the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) is also adding to the value of some high-end wines. He went on to add that the entry level for investment is from around £1,000 and that returns are typically in double digits.

Another popular alternative that has similar entry requirements and returns is forestry investment. Investing in timber, through schemes such as those run by Greenwood Management in Brazil, can offer investors a tangible asset for which demand is growing rapidly, said AAA.

Bryant & Stratton College Online Hosts Free Webinar on How to Write an Effective Resume

Leave a comment

March 21 webinar will show prospective students and job seekers how to create a resume that grabs employers’ attention in 30 seconds

Buffalo, NY, March 15, 2012 – Bryant & Stratton College Online, a leader in online associate’s degree programs, will host a free webinar for current and prospective students who are seeking tips on writing a better resume. The webinar, titled “Writing Effective Resumes,” will be held on Wednesday, March 21, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. EDT. The webinar will cover a variety of topics that will help attendees make their resume stand out during the job search process.

Job seekers who attend the webinar will learn the do’s and don’ts of preparing an effective resume. Other highlights from the free event include:

* Understanding resumes as a marketing tool for “brand you”

* The basic sections of a resume and what each section should communicate about a job applicant

* How to identify key strengths to include in a resume and stand out to employers

* How to integrate keywords into a resume to ensure the content matches what employers are looking for

The webinar will be presented by Dr. Kristina Nelson, Online Instructor at Bryant & Stratton College. Dr. Nelson has taught online for over ten years. She earned an M.A. and B.A. in English literature and composition from California State San Bernardino, an M.A. in history from American Public University, an M.S. in psychology from California Coast and a doctorate in educational technology from Northcentral University.

“Resumes are personal advertisements to that should get potential employers excited about the product, in this case the job applicant. Research shows that recruiters only spend about 30 seconds scanning a resume before placing it in a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ pile, so today’s candidates have to ensure their resume gives a good impression immediately,” said Dr. Nelson. “Too many job seekers today view their resume as a tool for highlighting what makes them great, but a resume should focus on the potential employer and what a candidate can do to add to their business. This webinar will teach students and job seekers to view the resume and application process from the employer’s perspective.”

Current and prospective students interested in learning how to write an effective resume are invited to register for the free webinar at online.bryantstratton.edu/webinar/. For those unable to attend, a recorded version of the webinar as well as highlights from the webinar will be available to download at onlineblog.bryantstratton.edu/ after March 21.
