Indulge Your Senses at New Vietnamese Hideaway

Six Senses Con Dao Puts Con Dao Island In the radar of luxury travelers.

Hanoi, Vietnam, April 21, 2011 -- Luxury Travel Ltd (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) is an award winning luxury tour operator in Vietnam and unveils very often new upscale travel experiences for the most discerning travelers.

In colonial times, the islands of Con Dao (also known as Poulo Condore) were much feared, as a notorious French prison was located on Con Son, the largest island of this remote southern archipelago.

Many of Vietnam's most famous freedom fighters served time on this lonely, windswept island, which lies 185 km south east of the port city of Vung Tau.

Today, the archipelago's residents survive by fishing, diving for pearls, collecting swallows' nests, and farming. Visitors will find starkly beautiful cliffs, long, untouched beaches, and patches of thick, old-growth forest. Sea turtles lay their eggs on the islands' remote beaches, while dolphins live offshore.

Just 60 minutes flight from Ho Chi Minh City, Con Dao offers the perfect escape from modern life. Clients also can visit Con Dao Island by ship from Vung Tau beach or by charter helicopter.

Six Senses (sixsenses.com) recently announced a new property in Con Dao, Vietnam is taking bookings NOW.

Only a 60-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City, Six Senses Con Dao opened in December 2010.

This secluded island hideaway in the East Sea is a hedonist's dream of 40 luxury villas on a truly idyllic stretch of white sand beach, each with its own private infinity pool, open-air bathroom and living area, and unobstructed views of the sea.

Like its fellow Six Senses properties it's more than just a luxury beach holiday, Con Dao offers an outstanding range of spa journeys and wellness activities. Here you can enjoy a moonlit dinner for two at the water's edge, take a private cookery class in your own villa, hike in search of the local wildlife, stay up late to watch turtles nesting on the beach...or simply lie back, relax and draw breath amidst the natural beauty of this Vietnamese paradise.

Unlike some other concept hotels, Con Dao truly embraces its surroundings - each villa is built with materials from sustainable sources (mirroring the ethos of the brand), while providing the most breath-taking view of the island. From catamaran sailing to cookery, from diving to dining, Con Dao is cool hideaway for all ages, tastes and sensibilities.

Luxury Travel (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) Unveils four day luxury vacation packages from Saigon To Con Dao, inclusive of three nights in Six Senses Con Dao with daily breakfast, all transfer and pick up and drop off services, taxes, return air tickets for only 1075 USD per person. This offer is only valid before 30 Oct 2010.

When to go:

The best time to travel to the south-eastern coast of Vietnam is December through to April during dry season. Summer time from May to September is a good time to rest and relax but expect some tropical rain.

For more information:

Ione Citrin Featured in the Light Space & Time Artist Showcase

Jupiter, Florida - April 20, 2011 -- Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery has been very fortunate to have the Los Angeles based artist Ione Citrin participate in five different themed art exhibitions. Ione's work at the gallery shows a wide range of styles and her contemporary paintings range from abstract to realistic to impressionistic. She is now Light Space & Time’s featured Showcase Artist.

Ione is an Avant-garde artist whose artistic expression takes fantastic shape through her diverse oil and watercolor paintings, bronze sculptures, found object collages and mixed media assemblages.

Ione's art has been shown nationally since 1998 when, after years of world travel, a successful television, radio, theatre and film career in the performing arts, she decided to focus her richly diverse talents on the visual arts. Ione’s artistic expression, creativity, and passion for communication have resulted in numerous awards for her painting, sculpture, mixed media, and assemblage.

Her work has also been featured in several important publications and Ione maintains an extensive exhibition schedule in juried, non-juried, and invitational arts venues.

Ione's philosophy is outlined and communicated in her following thoughts; "I Dream, therefore I am. I create art because I must. It is a necessary extension of my life. It identifies and substantiates my existence. It is my profile and my legacy. I want to intrigue and entertain. I want to initiate wonder and questions. I want to communicate my thoughts, dreams and desires. Most of all, I want to be."

Her extensive range of art can be seen at her website here: http://www.artbyione.com/

Biotage Introduces EVOLUTE WAX, Providing a Total Solution for Acidic Compounds

Uppsala, Sweden, April 20, 2011 -- Biotage, a leading supplier of tools and technology for medicinal and analytical chemistry, today announced the further expansion of its successful family of sample preparation products with the launch of EVOLUTE WAX.

EVOLUTE WAX is a mixed-mode weak anion exchanger, developed for the extraction of strongly acidic analytes from aqueous samples. The resin-based sorbent is surface modified with well defined hydroxyl-functional oligomers, imparting excellent water wettability. An optimized combination of non-polar (hydrophobic), polar (hydrophilic) and anion exchange interactions allows efficient extraction of strongly acidic analytes of wide ranging polarities.

Such strongly acidic analytes are typical of organophosphate pesticide metabolites and EVOLUTE WAX provides analytical scientists with the ability to extract such compounds more efficiently from diverse matrices, ranging from ground water to blood. The non-polar/anion exchange dual retention mechanism allows the use of a rigorous interference regime, providing extremely clean extracts and reducing matrix effects associated with LC-MS/MS analysis.

“The addition of EVOLUTE WAX compliments and further increases the application scope of the EVOLUTE family of resin-based, solid-phase extraction products and further demonstrates our commitment to continuous development of high quality solutions for our customers” says Gary Dowthwaite, Product Manager for EVOLUTE product at Biotage.

For more information regarding Biotage sample preparation products, please email product_info@biotage.com or visit http://www.biotage.com/SamplePrep

Lucky Friday the 13th Fundraiser to Restore Sight

The 5th Annual Singles Charity Ball, Friday, May 13, 2011, 8pm-Midnight, at the Westin St Francis Hotel on Union Square, California Ballroom, 335 Powell Street, San Francisco CA 94102.

San Rafael, CA - April 14, 2011 -- Contact: Tom Andrews, 415/507-9962

The leading singles organizations of the Bay Area are co-sponsoring The 5th Annual Singles Charity Ball, Friday, May 13, 2011, 8pm-Midnight, at the Westin St Francis Hotel on Union Square, California Ballroom, 335 Powell Street, San Francisco CA 94102. 100% of the donations will go directly to the Sight Project of The Seva Foundation, located in Berkeley.

“It will be a Lucky Friday the 13th for over two hundred blind people,” says Rich Gosse, Producer of the event, “if we raise as much as we have in past years at this annual fundraiser. Every $50 we raise will enable Seva to perform a sight-restoring eye surgery in the poorer countries of the world, such as India, Nepal, Tibet, Cambodia, and East Africa. Eye surgeries in the USA typically cost thousands of dollars, but are now being performed for only $50 in the Third World, due to innovations created by Seva. More information is available at www.Seva.org.

"Last year’s Singles Charity Ball at the Westin St Francis, raised $13,150,” says Mr. Gosse, “which enabled The Seva Foundation to restore sight to almost 263 blind people. “Due to the deep recession, our charities are in crisis. People just aren't giving enough. We are hopeful that our singles will make up for this shortfall by attending the Singles Charity Ball in large numbers. All of us are donating our time promoting and running this event, so that all of the money raised can go to charity.”

A donation of $20 at the door is requested, which is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. The Ball features dancing to today's hottest hits and the greatest songs of yesteryear. Adults of all ages are welcome. Everyone is encouraged to dress in their finest for this elegant soiree!

The Ball is co-sponsored by Society of Single Professionals, Singles Supper Club, Wine Socials, BayAreaSingles.com, Its Just Lunch, Heart IQ, Singles2Couples, MatchYourKey, EveryCircle, and many other major singles organizations in the Bay Area. Anyone wishing more information about this and many more events for singles may visit www.ThePartyHotline.com or call 415/507-9962.

HawksHead Systems Inc offers Horse Trailer TPMS Tire Monitoring System

Vancouver, Canada - April 13, 2011 -- HawksHead Systems Inc offers (TPMS) Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems to help Horse Trailer owners protect their valuable cargo.

Many horse trailers from single horse to multi horse units have been involved in accidents due to trailer tire problems, ranging from slow deflation to complete blow outs. Trailer owners should always do a visual check of their tires before every trip, however once moving along the highway the driver has no idea of the current pressures and temperatures of trailer tires and quite often is not aware when one deflates.

By installing a wireless TPMS system on their vehicle the driver can monitor all of their tire pressures and temperatures real time from the drivers seat. Should any tire change from the parameters the driver has entered into the system, a visible and audible alarm along with the problem tires location notifies the driver to pull over as quickly as possible to investigate further.

These TPMS systems are also capable of monitoring the tow vehicle as well and can offer a big advantage to owners of vehicles with dual wheels which are quite often difficult to access.

Saving money is also a big feature of these systems, as we all know the ever increasing prices of fuel and the cost of tires can be vastly reduced by maintaining your truck and trailer tires at the correct operating pressure.

Having a TPMS system when driving at night can be a big advantage as trailer wheels cannot be seen with driving mirrors.

These new systems use sensors with replaceable batteries and are quickly installed on trailers and tow vehicles simply by screwing the sensors on the tire valve.

Scientists Work for a HIV Functional Cure

Tucker, GA - April 12, 2011 -- Researchers have just unveiled the advanced program of the reference workshop on ‘HIV Persistence, Reservoirs & Eradication Strategies’ to be held later this year in Sin Maarten.

Since 2003, a group of scientists from different fields and countries address the issue of why HIV persists in infected individuals despite antiretroviral therapy (ART) and how it could be attacked in its reservoirs to achieve a cure. The biennial Sin Maarten workshop is the top science seminar where they confront their results and plan new research avenues.

“Since we launched our first meeting, great strides have been made towards a HIV functional cure” told Alain Lafeuillade, MD, PhD, member of the Steering Committee. Actually, this condition of “functional cure” naturally occurs in 0.15% of HIV-infected patients. These individuals spontaneously control HIV replication at undetectable levels, do not experience immune depletion or disease progression. They exhibit low levels of HIV reservoirs and strong anti-HIV CD8 responses. Researchers would like to mimic this condition to the benefit of more patients. This would be a valuable response to the current problems raised by life-long ART, which are cumulative toxicity, resistance, compliance, premature aging, persistent inflammation and, for the large majority of patients, treatment access and cost.

These researchers constantly work together via lab collaborations and clinical trials, but need a regular event where they can not only discuss but also meet other scientists, governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, pharmaceutical companies and patients’ representatives.

The 2011 meeting will cover all the aspects of HIV persistence from animal models to genetics and immunology, and dedicate several sessions to new strategies ready to be tested in humans.

About the HIV Persistence Workshop:

Steering Committee: Mario Stevenson (Miami, USA), Alain Lafeuillade (Toulon, France), Robert Gallo (Baltimore, USA), Jose Gatell (Barcelona, Spain), Christine Rouzioux (Paris, France).
