DMC and Luxury Tour Company in Vietnam Benefit from the Internet

Luxury Travel Vietnam is one of premier luxury travel and tour operator in Asia and benefits from the internet and grows a double digit year on year since 2004.

Hanoi, Vietnam, April 20, 2012 -- Luxury Travel Vietnam is one of premier luxury travel and tour operator in Asia and benefits from the internet and grows a double digit year on year since 2004.

During the past decades, the internet has become an indispensable part of modern life, bringing with it the commodity to enable consumers to research and purchase a wide range of products in the comfort of their homes and offices.

One of the industries most affected by this trend is the tourism industry, which more than any takes advantage of the internet's capability to overcome distance and borders and makes it possible to effect purchases directly between Service Providers in the desired destinations and geographically distant clients.

In 2008, 70% of people search on the internet before travel according to double click and travel sales booked online will reach $105 billion, up 12% from 2007, according to latest eMarketer statistics.

However, this increase is lower than has been expected. The latest trend is distant from just adding standardized travel products such as accommodation and tours by booking online in a highly impersonal process. Instead, Jeff Grau, senior analyst at eMarketer observes a “renewed appreciation for the expertise and personalized services offered by traditional travel agents.”

With the current economic crisis and talks of a recession just around the corner, holidaymakers are going online to book with local suppliers. Representative Lee, says that Luxury Travel Vietnam provides speed, convenience and easy access to information - exactly what contemporary tourists need in this current climate, even if it is last-minute.

Luxury Travel Company website has been voted as top B2C websites in Vietnam in 2008. These 10 websites are TRUSTMARK of Vietnam on the Internet, Trustvn, which is a member of ATA (Asia Pacific Trustmark Alliance).

Luxury Travel’s clients can research packages, consult travel specialists knowledge, have them create an individual and unique travel package for them, and book their full travel service and make the money transaction all over the internet on http://luxurytravelvietnam.com

As the first online company in Vietnam to specialize in upscale travel, Luxury Travel Vietnam was established in 2004 by experienced tourist industry professionals.

“With internet, we have more customers; we provide high tech or high touch service even in the last minute. If a group or family needs information to book last-minute tours, we will reply within 24 hours, including Sundays and public holidays. Our clients are mainly foreign and Vietnamese tourists who are Internet-savvy. ” admits Ha.

Norton Rose Group Relies on NextPlane Federation Cloud Service to Connect Global Network of Law Offices

Cloud-based Federation Platform Connects Disparate UC Systems to Deliver Presence, IM, and Multi-User Chat to 38 Law Offices Around the Globe.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (April 20, 2012) -- NextPlane, Inc., (http://www.nextplane.com) the market leader in cloud-based unified communications (UC) federation services , today announced that Norton Rose Group is now using the NextPlane Federation Cloud Service. Norton Rose, one of the top 10 law firms in the word with 2,500 lawyers and 38 offices, has adopted NextPlane’s Federation-as-a-Service (FaaS) to link UC platforms in London, Australia, Canada, and South Africa. By adopting NextPlane Federation Cloud Service, Norton Rose can maintain disparate UC platforms in regional offices and still support all common UC services including standard presence, custom status, enhanced presence, instant messaging, and multi-user chat.

As part of its global expansion, Norton Rose LLP merged with Deacons, one of the largest law firms in Australia, to form the Norton Rose Group. To facilitate the new integrated law practice, Norton Rose Group had to find a means to connect the WebEx Connect UC service being used in LLP with the Microsoft OCS platform being used in Australia. Rather than forcing the different offices to change to a common platform, Norton Rose Group opted to license NextPlane’s Federation Cloud to federate UC communications between the different systems. Within two weeks of signing NextPlane as its federation provider, Norton Rose had an integrated UC system up and running.

“When managing communications for a global law firm having integrated presence and IM is crucial, particularly given the time differences between offices,” said Jason Berwick, Innovation Analyst for Norton Rose Group. “Adopting NextPlane as our federation partner eliminated the need to find a common UC service. It was like starting with a blank sheet of paper. We made a couple of DNS changes and we were good to go, and the entire process took less than two weeks.”

The NextPlane Federation Cloud Service enables disparate UC platforms to federate without any upfront capital expense. The Federation Cloud solution can federate users on Microsoft Lync 2010, OCS 2007 R2, OCS 2007 R1, and LCS 2005 environments seamlessly and securely with colleagues on IBM Sametime, Cisco CUPS, WebEx Connect, and Jabber XCP, Jive OpenFire, and Google Apps. It also eliminates the need to maintain multiple address domains, since the Federation Cloud Service does the translation so all users appear to be on one UC platform.

“Norton Rose is the ideal proving ground for the benefits of our Federation Cloud solution,” said Farzin Shahidi, CEO of NextPlane. “Our Federation Cloud Service is ideal for companies in transition, providing ongoing UC support during a merger or acquisition, and we support all the core UC capabilities across multiple platforms as though they were native services. Norton Rose has demonstrated that NextPlane’s Federation Cloud is quick to deploy, seamless, reliable, and scalable to meet any requirement.”

As the Norton Rose Group continues to expand, it relies on NextPlane to federate UC services. In addition to establishing Norton Rose Australia, the firm also has merged with Ogilvy Renault and Denys Reitz to form Norton Rose Canada LLP and Norton Rose South Africa. Berwick’s team now has a simple process for federating UC with any organization on almost any UC platform, either from UC connections in the office or from an iPad, iPhone, PC, or Web-connected device.

For more information, visit http://www.nextplane.net.

About NextPlane, Inc.

NextPlane offers enterprise-class Federation as a Service (FaaS) solutions for unified communications (UC) platforms, seamlessly federating Microsoft Lync 2010, OCS 2007 R2, OCS 2007 and LCS 2005, IBM Sametime, Cisco Jabber XCP, Cisco Unified Presence Server 8.x, Cisco WebEx Connect, Jive OpenFire, and Google Apps. Using NextPlane Federation Cloud service, organizations can connect users from different companies regardless of underlying UC platforms - with shared presence, instant messaging, multi-user chat, voice, video, and other features – as if they are on the same platform.

NextPlane offers an ideal solution for companies migrating from one UC platform to another, or to integrate different legacy platforms following a company merger or a new contract or partnership. NextPlane even supports domain sharing, allowing two or more UC platforms to federate internally and externally using the same domain name.

British Companies Look for Ways to Succeed in Russia

On 12 April, 2012 the Russian expert in the field of investment and finance, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gradient Alpha Investments Group Pavel Gagarin, held a seminar in London for British companies looking to work in Russia.

Moscow, Russia (April 19, 2012) -- On 12 April, 2012 the Russian expert in the field of investment and finance, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gradient Alpha Investments Group Pavel Gagarin, held a seminar in London for British companies looking to work in Russia. The event was organized by The Russia House Ltd and supported by the Trade Delegation of Russia in the UK.

The seminar was attended by businessmen, representing trading, manufacturing and IT companies from around the UK.

Mr. Gagarin talked with the audience about the most effective ways starting a business in Russia and how to manage and minimize the legal, administrative, fiscal, financial and market risks. The expert briefed British businessmen on the specifics of reporting systems by Russian companies with foreign participation. The chairman of Gradient Alpha also reviewed the work of foreign investors in Special Economic Zones of Russia and gave many practical recommendations on the basis of his personal experience.

The event demonstrated that British companies are willing to work in Russia, to invest in the Russian economy and to consider specific proposals.

"There are several reasons why Russia is attractive for British investors”, commented Pavel Gagarin. There is little benefit in investing in the U.S. market, since there the local capital is cheaper and more competitive. Most European countries are experiencing a recession, so the British are reluctant to invest in the EU either. Furthermore, they are cautious about investing in China and Southeast Asia, since the trends in the Asian economies are not favourable and prospects are unpredictable. South and Central America look too exotic for more conservative Europeans. This leaves only India, Eastern Europe and Russia, Russia being the country of choice because of the decrease in the price of assets due to the uncertain political situation as well as because of the relatively low inflation rate. With an excellent risk premium, after the new government has been formed and its political course defined, foreign investors, including British ones, will look at Russia with a lot more confidence."

IAPAM hCG Protocol Remediates Rising Healthcare Costs

The IAPAM offers the most comprehensive hCG Training for physicians looking to add hCG for weight loss to their practices. Over 21,000 patients have successfully lost weight using the IAPAM's Exclusive hCG Protocol, and a new study from Cornell University reports that rising healthcare costs can be positively impacted through offering patients safe and sustained weight loss programs.

Las Vegas, Nevada (April 18, 2012) -- A recent study from Cornell University found that, "obesity now accounts for almost 21 % of U.S. health care costs - more than twice the previous estimates." The study also reports that "an obese person incurs medical costs that are $2,741 higher than if they were not obese. Nationwide, that translates into $190.2 billion per year, or 20.6 % of national health expenditures. Previous estimates had pegged the cost of obesity at $85.7 billion, or 9.1 % of national health expenditures." Moreover, a similar study in March 2012 from the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, reported that, "obesity [now] adds more to health care costs than smoking does."

In an effort to support physicians as they offer safe and effective weight management programs to their patients, the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has developed a tool to bring trained hCG physicians and patients together: the IAPAM's hCG Diet Clinic Directory (http://www.iapam.com/aesthetic-resources/hcg-diet-clinics). The IAPAM's hCG Clinic Listing offers the most comprehensive hCG Diet Clinic listing of physicians, all of whom have been expertly trained in hCG for weight loss, by the IAPAM.

Patients seeking physicians, who have completed the IAPAM’s hCG Training, can browse the directory to find an hCG expert physician in their area. All physicians listed on the IAPAM hCG Diet Clinic Directory page have:

1. advanced training in utilizing hCG for weight loss,
2. only offer pharmaceutical grade hCG, and
3. all their hCG patients use the IAPAM’s comprehensive hCG Protocol Patient Guidebook.

Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM, and a member of the expert faculty of instructors at the IAPAM's hCG Physician Weight Loss Training, comments that, "since being showcased on the Dr. Oz Show in February 2011 and March 2012, patient demand for medically supervised hCG weight loss has exploded. We are seeing a correlating increase in physician-demand for the IAPAM's hCG training, to capture this growing market." To date, "well over 21,000 patients have successfully lost weight on hCG using the IAPAM's Exclusive hCG Protocol (http://www.hcgtraining.com), based on Dr. Simeons manuscript, Pounds and Inches, and the IAPAM's hCG training is taught by a faculty who operate hCG weight loss clinics, allowing physicians and their staff to learn from the faculty's vast experience," shares Russell.

IAPAM's hCG Training is Complete and Comprehensive

Physicians who have attended the IAPAM's full day hCG training are the best trained hCG physicians in North America. In fact, the IAPAM's hCG Training is the only medical weight loss training approved for a special medical malpractice rate for those who have attended and have been certified by the IAPAM.

For physicians interested in adding hCG for Weight Loss, please note that all of the IAPAM's hCG Medical Weight Management seminars in 2010-2012 have sold out. To register for the next session in 2012, please visit: http://www.hcgtraining.com or contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108 ext 708.

Mitt Romney Change On Illegal Immigration Issue Could Spell Doom for America

Several national media outlets are trying to suggest that a Mitt Romney flip flop on the issue of illegal immigration is imminent now that Romney is the presumptive winner of the GOP primary.

Raleigh, NC, USA (April 18, 2012) -- Several national media outlets are trying to suggest that a Mitt Romney flip flop on the issue of illegal immigration is imminent now that Romney is the presumptive winner of the GOP primary. ALIPAC is issuing a national advisory that such a radical shift could spell doom for the Romney campaign and the country.

Mitt Romney (857-288-3500) is currently experiencing a surge in support as GOP voters begin coalescing behind his campaign after one of the most dramatic GOP Presidential primaries in modern history.

Mitt Romney won the primary by addressing the top issue of illegal immigration from an enforcement only approach. Romney asked Kris Kobach, a national leader in the fight against illegal immigration to be on his campaign "team." Romney promised primary voters that millions of illegal aliens would be forced out of America, that he would veto the Dream Act Amnesty, and that Arizona's controversial immigration law would be his "model for the nation".

"Any reversal on these positions would destroy his credibility, alienate Conservative American voters who outnumber Latino voters, and exert the same pressures on Mitt Romney that destroyed John McCain and Rick Perry's campaigns," said William Gheen who is a prior GOP campaign consultant and current President of ALIPAC. "Not only would a Romney shift on immigration hurt him among Americans concerned about illegal immigration but it would signal that he cannot be trusted on any issue or topic whatsoever."

If Mitt Romney (857-288-3500) betrays his promises to voters and his constitutional obligation to enforce America's existing border and immigration laws, then American voters will have been tricked. Once again, Americans will be trapped between voting for a Republican or voting for a Democrat candidate who support Amnesty for illegal aliens.

Any form of Amnesty or change in our current laws to accommodate illegal aliens will eventually lead to the displacement of tens of millions of American voters. America will be defenseless against future waves of illegal immigration and the nation that once stood on this continent will be destroyed.

ALIPAC is calling on national supporters to contact the Mitt Romney campaign to ask him to remember his promise to oppose Amnesty and enforce existing immigration laws. Callers will also ask Romney to avoid Amnesty supporting Senator Marco Rubio as his running mate.

"Marco Rubio supports Amnesty for illegal aliens and this would greatly harm Romney's campaign and this nation if he is a running mate," said William Gheen. "Mitt Romney needs a strong female conservative running mate to attract female voters. He needs candidates like Jan Brewer and Michele Bachmann who oppose Amnesty for illegal aliens. Marco Rubio's Amnesty for illegal aliens plan is 'conservative suicide acceptance plans' that should be rejected."

A Mitt Romney flip flop on immigration issues could demoralize the largest block of American voters known as "Conservative Voters" and result in Democrats taking back control of the US House.

"If Romney flip flops on immigration issues the resulting demoralization of Conservative voters could leave America with a liberal Republican or Democrat in the White House as well as Democrats being in control of both chambers of Congress!" said William Gheen. "That could be enough to finally kill America."

The illegal immigration invasion of America is being supported by elite politicians, corporations, and financial interests that appear to have more influence on lawmakers than American citizens. Certified scientific polling data shows that a super majority of Americans consistently oppose any form of Amnesty including the Dream Act Amnesty by a factor of at least 3 to 1 (Rasmussen Reports, Oct. 2007).

ALIPAC is calling on Americans to bombard Romney's offices (857-288-3500) with requests that he represent the majority of American citizens on immigration issues instead of the illegal immigration supporting special interests.

Mom's Prefer Experience Gifts Over Knick Knacks

‘Experience’ gifts like a hot air balloon ride are popular because the balloon provides a platform for a 360 degree view with once in a lifetime visual creating a vivid and lasting memory. If people really want to make special occasions ‘special’ they need to do something special like collecting experiences rather than knick-knacks to put on a shelf.

Plymouth, MI (April 18, 2012) -- This Mother’s Day, many moms across Michigan will be taking a trip of a lifetime in a hot air balloon.

“Experience’ gifts like a hot air balloon ride are popular because the balloon provides a platform for a 360 degree view with once in a lifetime visual creating a vivid and lasting memory. If people really want to make special occasions ‘special’ they need to do something special like collecting experiences rather than knick-knacks to put on a shelf,” says Scott Lorenz, President and Chief Pilot of Westwind Balloon Company of Plymouth, Michigan. (http://www.westwindcos.com/balloon) (http://www.youtube.com/embed/pmMvCYJqbHA)

“It’s not just for mom either. Since two people go along with the pilot it’s a perfect experience gift that both mom and dad or other friends and family can enjoy together because each flight is for two people.”

Lorenz says nobody forgets their first balloon flight because it’s an experience that cannot compare to anything else. The sensation of flying over trees, lakes and streams, spotting deer and other wildlife is unique and inspiring. When a gift touches someone both emotionally and on a multi-sensory level they never forget it.

The balloon flight costs $695 for two people. Gift certificates for flights in the area over Kensington Park in Milford, Michigan can be purchased by calling 734-667-2098 or by visiting http://www.westwindcos.com/balloon/ or via email at: scottlorenz[at]westwindcos[dot]com.
