The Gateway to 10,000 Illnesses by Robert Boyd, D.O. released world-wide as eBook

Book challenges the broad world of medicine and promises a reassessment of the causative processes of many disorders.

St. Louis, MO, USA (January 25, 2012) -- The Gateway to 10,000 Illnesses by Robert Boyd, D.O., (http://www.biocranialinstitute.com) which is a challenge to the broad world of medicine and promises a reassessment of the causative processes of many disorders, has been released world-wide in eBook form.

Author Dr. Robert Boyd suggests what he sees as the hitherto missing link in the world of medicine. Boyd's writings are refreshing, stimulating and thought provoking - even humorous - and challenge the accepted norms in wide areas of conventional and alternative medicine. His unique concept is totally absent from any current teaching and will challenge the basics of widely held views, conventional or alternative.

“I have attempted to convey my own belief that, at the core of control and organization of every single activity, cellular, organ or system, is involuntary movement. I believe that until there is recognition of the existence of movement there will continue to be limitations to healthcare delivery,” Dr. Boyd said.

The Gateway to 10,000 Illnesses describes in straightforward and largely non-technical language the core mechanism - the engine - of what makes us tick and his conclusions on why this hitherto little understood area is essential for addressing almost any disorder. The author's style is almost conversational and leads the reader logically step by step to his conclusions. In doing so he questions a number of accepted teachings, particularly in the area of "structural medicine" and goes on to plea for fellow professionals to dispassionately examine the accuracy and value of his findings. Dr. Boyd has been at the forefront of cranial research and innovation for over 30 years.

Dr. Boyd added, “If we refuse to be distracted by the often siren promises of the complex, the answers may well be found in the simple. Let us be always mindful that the organism never wishes to be dysfunctional, was designed to be self-repairing and will repair if facilitated to do so.”

“After more than 20 years working and studying and teaching in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and before that living with pain for decades, I am so grateful to discover Dr. Robert Boyd's work. Written for the practitioner and patient/client alike, this book sheds light on the ever darkening picture of the decline of health worldwide.” -- Tom Tessereau, CBC, LMT, NCTMB.

The Gateway to 10,000 Illnesses by Robert Boyd, D.O., in eBook form, (ISBN 9781937520342), was published on November 15, 2011 by First Edition Design eBook Publishing http://www.firsteditiondesignpublishing.com based in Sarasota, Florida USA. It is available at Amazon’s Kindle store, Apple’s iBookstore, Barnes & Noble’s Book Nook, Sony, Diesel and Google’s eBookstore, which supports numerous eReader devices. In addition to those outlets, The Gateway to 10,000 Illnesses was distributed in eBook format worldwide to over 100,000 other sources including libraries, schools colleges, universities and additional online booksellers.

Stamp collecting can be 'profitable' asserts AAA

Alternative investment advocacy group AAA has noted the increasing popularity of stamp collecting as a means of generating funds through a hobby.

Boston, MA, USA, January 25, 2012 -- Stamp collecting is becoming increasingly popular as a money-making hobby and can actually prove profitable in these economic times, claims Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

The statement from the alternative investment advocacy group follows the announcement of solid profits at a UK-based stamp dealer, Stanley Gibbons. The firm expects its profits to rise to £5 million this year as a growing number of investors put their cash into tangible, alternative asset classes, such as stamps, antiques, art, wine, precious metals, real estate and timber.

The chief executive of Stanley Gibbons, Michael Hall, said, "We have had people calling up from all over the world saying they want to put £1m into stamps, asking us to advise them.”

AAA claims that the recent sale of the largest stamp collection in the world for some £20 million last year proves that there is money in stamps. “If anyone had any doubt, just look at Sir Humphrey Cripp’s collection,” stated AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson. “He bought the stamps in 1972 for just £29,000…now that’s a serious rate of return.”

Some of the rarest stamps are among the most valuable things on the planet, including the 1855 Treskilling Yellow, which weighs just 0.03 grams and is worth £5 million. Its rarity is based around the fact that its yellow colour was actually a mistake and it should actually have been green. Sir Humphrey’s collection also had a number of Penny Blue stamps, which are among the rarest in the stamp world.

Anthony Johnson explained that people are increasingly looking for alternative assets in which to invest, as a result of the volatility of traditional assets, and in particular stocks an shares.

AAA supports a range of alternative asset classes, not least forestry investment through firms like Greenwood Management, which specialises in forestry plantation investments in Brazil.

After Three Years In The Making The PB Reality Show Makes Its Debut

Premiere to be held at Ultra Star Cinemas on January 31st 2012 at 7:00PM.

San Diego, California (January 24, 2012) -- After 3 years of parties, bikini contests, and lots of drama, the first episode of the PB Reality Show will make its much anticipated debut this Tuesday at the Ultra Star Cinemas. The show features the adventures of Jim Lawlor (a.k.a. the PB Millionaire) and his lavish lifestyle in Pacific Beach. From the majestic castle on a hill he calls home, to the gorgeous girls that surround him.

“It’s all about celebrating life,” said Lawlor, founder of the PB Reality Show. However, Lawlor did not always find himself living this extravagant lifestyle. He was once struggling to make ends meet - even sleeping in his car until he could afford an office space to serve as his bedroom. These experiences made a great impact on Lawlor, and he now is commonly seen providing food for the homeless, donating money to his favorite charities, and helping those in need.

According to Lawlor, it wasn't all fun and parties; there was also hard work and obstacles to overcome to put on the show. Some highlights include the first Miss Pacific Beach contest, costume contests, good drama, and some surprises.

Fans will have the opportunity to meet Jim and the cast at the Double Tree Hotel, next door to the theater, before and after the show. The show will be released to the general public on Lawlor's own TV network called Pacific Beach Reality TV starting on February 16th. The show already has a huge fan base on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/thepbrealityshow) even prior to the first episode’s release with over 40,000 fans and counting.

Lawlor was once painting houses as a means to get by when he, ironically, came up with an invention for spray painting goggles that eventually made him a millionaire. Since becoming successful, he enjoys celebrating life with friends and lives what he calls “the California dream.” Several people suggested that he make a show about his lifestyle and so he did.

The premiere will be held at the Ultra Star Cinemas, 7510 Hazard Center Drive, San Diego, CA 92108.

Now could be great time for timber investors, claims FRA

FRA said that now is a great time to have investments in forestry as the construction industry in the US begins to recover from its long slump.

Seattle, United States, January 24, 2012 -- Forestry Research Associates (FRA) said that now is a great time to have investments in forestry as the construction industry in the US begins to recover from its long slump.

A recent report in Zacks Investment Research said that recent figures suggest that 2012 could be the year that the construction industry grows again. This is great news for those who own trees or have cash invested in to timber-based exchange traded funds, who have been hanging on to their assets in recent years. Many investors would have avoided selling their timber assets over the past couple of years due to the slowing demand in the construction industry. As a result, their trees will be even larger now and will be worth more as a result.

“This is the great selling point for timber investments,” stated FRA’s analysis partner, Pete Collins. He added, “If timber prices look anything less than strong, investors can simply hold onto their assets and wait until the prices increase. In the meantime, their assets grow further and are worth more when they finally choose to sell.”

The report by Zacks also claims that forestry has an extremely low correlation with traditional asset classes and therefore, provides an extremely effective way to diversify a portfolio. FRA claims that more and more investors are turning to alternative asset classes, such as timber, to help them to spread the risk within their investment portfolio.

Zacks' report talks about direct investment routes, such as through plantation schemes like the one run by Greenwood Management in Brazil, where investors buy up pieces of plantation land and receive returns based on the cyclical sale of timber assets. It also talked about investing in funds that are based on timber, which can offer a slightly more risky option for those interested in putting some of their cash in forestry.

AAA welcomes New Rare Coin Fund

A new alternative investment fund, which focuses on rare coins, has been welcomed by AAA.

Boston, MA, USA, January 24, 2012 -- A new alternative investment fund, which focuses on rare coins, has been welcomed by Alternative Asset Analysis, an alternative investment advocacy group.

The fund is being launched by several rare coin enthusiasts, together with a wall street fund manager, who together have formed Certified Assets Management International (CAMI) in order to launch their rare coin product.

The fund managers will help investors to manage their coin and precious metal purchases and will also launch a fund worth $250 million, invested in the market. One of the experts involved in the fund is Robert L Higgins, who managed a rare coin fund in the past, successfully generating returns of 17 per cent. Higgins told press: "Certified Assets Management has a proven track record of over a decade of successful rare coin funds management.”

He added, “This is an excellent time for the numismatic market and Wall Street to do it the right way.”

AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson agree with Higgins, arguing that now was a great time to launch alternative funds as the appetite for alternatives was enormous thanks to the ongoing volatility of the stock markets.

Another spokesperson for CAMI explained, "The investment community has a need for alternative investments that are truly uncorrelated with traditional investments. Using rare coins as an asset class and investment vehicle provides an opportunity for investors to diversify their investment portfolios.”

AAA is a supporter of alternative investments as a way to direct investment cash into ethical and more productive directions, while offering investors the chance of diversification and strong returns. Mr Johnson added, “We are mainly on the side of environmentally and socially responsible investments, such as the forestry plantation scheme offered by firms like Greenwood Management in Brazil.”

“However,” added Johnson, “ethics and profits do not have to be mutually exclusive."

FPL's Turkey Point Plant to Help Power Economic Recovery in Miami-Dade County

As 5,000 new contractors begin work at FPL's Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant, local officials herald a revved up economy powered by clean, affordable energy and the people who help FPL create it at one of the company's two nuclear power plants.

Juno Beach, FL, January 21, 2012 -- As 5,000 new contractors begin work at FPL's Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant, local officials herald a revved up economy powered by clean, affordable energy and the people who help FPL create it at one of the company's two nuclear power plants.

FPL has brought in thousands of new temporary, contract, and permanent workers to Turkey Point to upgrade the plant. They will perform what's called a "nuclear uprate" - enhancing equipment to improve the plant's efficiency. The project has created 5,000 temporary jobs for workers who are slated to pump an additional $11 million into the local economy each month.

“This uprate is the type of project that will have long-term positive effects for our economic recovery, which is the reason I am here today,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez. “Collectively the new workers will spend close to $11 million per month in the local economy and that means they're staying in local homes and hotels, and that means they're eating at restaurants owned by our neighbors, and that’s exactly the kind of economic development and growth we need during these times in Miami-Dade County.”

This project will serve as an economic engine - driving an influx of new dollars into the local economy and generating work for 5,000 people in a region where unemployment is higher than average.

“The project is already having a positive impact - I've gotten a job and it looks like my husband may be fortunate enough to be offered a job here as well,” said new FPL employee Michelle Cruz. “It’s definitely a great thing for us.”

What’s more, the plant uprates and improvements will put more money in customers' pockets, too.

“Investments like those FPL is making at Turkey Point keep FPL’s residential customer bills the lowest in the state of Florida and a full 25 percent below the national average. In fact, our investments in Turkey Point and a similar plant in St. Lucie County are expected to save our customers more than $4.8 billion compared to fossil fuel costs over the projects’ lifetimes,” said Pamela Rauch, FPL vice president of development and external affairs.

At Turkey Point, FPL is not just working towards a healthy economy, but is also working to support a healthy environment. With upgrades and replacements implemented, the Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant will reap an additional 15 percent capacity, equivalent to the annual usage of approximately 271,000 residents. The added capacity for clean, renewable energy will reduce CO2 emissions by an estimated 30 million tons - as much as removing 180,000 cars off the road annually.

About Florida Power & Light Company
Florida Power & Light Company is the largest electric utility in Florida and one of the largest rate-regulated utilities in the United States. FPL serves 4.5 million customer accounts in Florida and is a leading employer in the state with approximately 10,000 employees.

FlashPark announces response to Welsh parking ticket complaint

FlashPark has reacted swiftly to language problems concerning a parking ticket issued in the English language in Wales.

London, UK, January 20, 2012 -- Private parking enforcement agency FlashPark has reacted swiftly to language problems concerning a parking ticket issued in the English language in Wales.

Noel Jones, 54, and his daughter Bethan, 26, were handed the ticket after using the car park at Penrhyndeudraeth village Memorial Hall. The pair, whose first language is Welsh, stated they feel it is unfair that their ticket - along with the signs around the car park - are displayed in English and have refused to pay until they receive acknowledgement of the parking transgression in their native Welsh.

Many of the signs in the area surrounding the hall are provided in both Welsh and English. But according to reports from the Memorial Hall committee, there had previously been Welsh signs in place in the car park but they had been vandalised.

FlashPark is in the process of investigating the legalities of language when it comes to parking notices. But as a message of fair play, Costas Constantino, a spokesman for FlashPark, confirmed that the group will be issuing a translation of the ticket in Welsh to be posted to the pair as soon as possible.

Mr Constantino stated: “This will be a translation to Welsh of the parking ticket originally sent received, We are happy to do the same for other motorists that face the same situation. At the end of the translation we will include some of the top tips on how to save money when motoring.

“FlashPark will always act in good faith in any dispute which will reflects the rights of the landowner and motorist.”

Jobosabe.com, The Trusted Friend Employment Network Looking for Early Adopters

Locally focused social networking site for job seekers is offering incentives for people willing to test-drive their site.

Austin, Texas, January 19, 2012 -- Jobosabe.com, (pronounced jah-bo-sah-be) is going into beta this week and looking for job seekers who would like to test drive their new platform. The locally based social Jobworking “Talent Community” is going live shortly in major markets around the US. Partnering with major newspapers, the website will deliver a social networking experience that is primarily focused on local jobs, local employers and local candidates.

Traditional Social Networking sites are large, cumbersome and nationally/globally focused. Many personal profiles contain information and photos that may not shine the brightest light on your employment credentials. Innocent things can often be misread by prospective employers and may cost you your next job. Trouble is, you won't even know it. You just won't get the job.

“One of the biggest challenges for job seekers is that their social networking life online can also be a major distraction or hindrance during a job search. Employers troll major Social Networking platforms looking for reasons to hire or not hire prospective candidates. Jobosabe.com is a place where you can direct employers to your profile and connect with other job seekers to share leads and ideas. It is totally business and employment based.” Noted Carl Braun, Jobosabe.com co-founder. “You can lock down your other Social Networking profiles to only trusted friends and use Jobosabe as your employment profile.” He added.

The first 1,000 Beta testers will be given a FREE resume review and guidance on how to find that next great job. A $99 value. You only need to go to Jobosabe.com, enroll and build out your employment profile. Early adopters will have a chance to create and administer “Talent Discussion Communities.” Employers will have a chance to create free “Opportunity Zones” and post jobs through Jobosabe.com or their local newspaper.

FRA claims Irish forestry investment is a 'good bet'

The sale of 20 forestry plantations in Ireland has received the backing of FRA, which supports investment in sustainable forestry projects around the world.

Seattle, United States, January 19, 2012 -- The sale of 20 forestry plantations in Ireland has received the backing of Forestry Research Associates (FRA), which supports investment in sustainable forestry projects around the world.

The research and analysis consultancy claims that the selling of 20 plantations across several counties in Ireland is a great opportunity for foreign investors, as the trees are currently at 50 per cent maturity and will grow further, generating returns.

An agent called DTZ Sherry FitzGerald is offering the 20 sites for sale or investment, at a cost of EUR 4,900 per hectare, which totals some EUR 4.5 million for the entire 371-hectare portfolio. The forest areas are located in eight counties, including County Clare and Leitrim, which has three and seven plantations each, respectively.

FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins, said the forestry plantations in question have sensibly managed the age range of the trees to maximise the continual maturity that will ensure cash keeps being generated for the investors.

“This is also central to the sustainability of a managed forest and will ensure that forests are productive, while remaining standing for years to come if managed properly,” explained Mr Collins.

He added “We think this opportunity is a solid one for those looking to invest in forestry, as the direct investment model will help to provide investors with genuine diversity within their portfolio, which will protect them from the volatilities of the equity markets.”

FRA supports other similar plantation schemes in developing countries where these kinds of projects can help to reduce destruction of the local forests. Greenwood Management’s plantation schemes in Brazil, for example, plant non-native timbers, which grow quickly and can be used in the production of charcoal for the steel industry. FRA claims that this reduces the deforestation of native forests to meet the demand for charcoal from the booming steel market.

BusinessVibes states the Challenges for Marketers in the year 2012

Guidelines helping you to become successful marketer in this tough 2012.

London, UK, January 18, 2012 -- Looking at the current macroeconomic situation of the world it is hard to count on unexpected boom for many companies. Does it mean that marketers should stay behind their desks and calmly wait for better times? Couldn't be more far away from the truth! Maybe in old good times marketers were the ones unhurriedly sitting in their dark corners spending long months on planning one campaign, checking huge databases of clients and organising conferences. It is hard for us to tell, but those times are over. Businesses run nowadays are much more difficult for marketers. In consequences of not promising economic indicators a lot of companies re-consider their costs and spending, which may even lead to some personnel reductions. Below you will find some guidelines helping you to become successful marketer in this tough 2012.

First of all, be fragile for changes and willing to change, success of marketing depends nowadays on how fast will you react on changing needs of customers and how flexible will you be to change your routine of work and apply new tools and ideas.

Mix disciplines, remember that digital marketing today is really important and do not forget about traditional ways of promotion. Be ready to plan strategies including both ways of advertising in one time. Follow new platforms; get yourself included in social media life.

Analyze your actions - whatever you do, do not forget to spend some time on checking the results. Ensuring yourself that action taken by you makes you closer to the success is the simplest and fastest way to avoid spending time on pointless activities. What is more - Act wisely! Be always ready to justify your strategy and all the steps you have taken.

Like and be liked - marketing today is complex. To be successful it needs to include cooperation of several departments in the company starting from sales, going through IT ending on customer service. Respect other departments’ schedule, learn how to communicate with them.

Believe in what you are doing. You need to become the most faithful ambassador of your brand. Believe in your organization mission and understand what are they doing and why. And what is even more important - Never, but never give up - hard times may slow down your campaigns, make clients less interested. Keep on checking the results, re-consider and change your actions if necessary, but do not stop in half way.

Keep learning. Marketing, especially the digital one is developing quickly. New tools are being invented on a daily basis; new networking sites are invented to help you develop your business. Join those networking platforms (http://www.businessvibes.com) where you can directly search for suppliers, clients or partners. Stay interested and curious. The business technology will run faster, you need to follow it quickly if you don't want to get lost.

Nobody said it was easy, but if you succeed in this difficult 2012 you would have no problems to be the best marketer in any other following year. Challenge is definitely worth to take.

IAPAM Announces NEW March 2012 Symposium Dates - March 3-4

Over 950 physicians (MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs), as well as their accompanying medspa managers, registered nurses, and assistants, have attended the IAPAM’s weekend Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums and Friday hCG Physician Training sessions. There are over 15,000 patients who have successfully lost weight on the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Protocol and under the supervision of IAPAM trained doctors. To meet this continually growing demand for expert training in botox ® and the other minimally-invasive treatments, as well as hCG for weight loss, the IAPAM announces the addition of NEW March 2012 dates for its respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums with Botox ® training, and hCG Training programs: March 2 and March 3&4, 2012.

Las Vegas, Nevada, January 18, 2012 -- The number of patients turning to minimally invasive procedures like: Botox ® (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com), dermal filler injections, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and hCG for weight loss, continues to increase. To assist physicians in entering the aesthetic medicine field, the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) is entering its 6th year of educating physicians on the most profitable ways to add aesthetic medicine procedures and hCG for weight loss to their existing practices.

Physicians who complete the IAPAM’s Symposium with hands-on Botox ® Training and/or the IAPAM’s Physician hCG Training (http://www.hcgtraining.com) have a competitive advantage. By attending the IAPAM’s comprehensive botox ® courses and hCG training seminars (based on Dr. Simeons Pounds and Inches protocol), physicians can profitably add a cash based cosmetic injectable, aesthetic medicine or weight loss program to a medical practice.

The Symposium provides physicians:

- dedicated instruction from board-certified dermatologists, who are true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables.
- hands-on practice in the best injection techniques.
- delivery of the botox ® training at a medical practice, not in a hotel room.
- an environment that does not allow exhibitors, giving doctors more time for education.
- the opportunity to attend the Symposium’s Aesthetic Practice Startup Workshop, which is the only medical spa program highlighting the latest information on medspa business development and social media marketing as taught by Harvard Business School.
- the unique opportunity to attend the full-day session on hCG and Medical Weight Management (http://www.hcgtraining.com). This session will cover hCG for weight loss, prescription appetite suppressants, ketogenic diet based programs, meal replacement and B6/12 injections.
- a set of DVDs from the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Procedure Training series, covering:

1. Botulinum Toxin for Cosmetic Patients – lecture.
2. Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers for Cosmetic Patients – live demonstration.
3. Chemical Peel and Microdermabrasion – live demonstration of techniques.

Physicians who have attended the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium testify to its comprehensiveness, which includes:

1. The latest trends in aesthetic medicine and how to use them to one’s advantage.
2. Steps on how to integrate medical aesthetics procedures into a practice or build a patient base.
3. How to perform aesthetic patient consultations.
4. How to add the most profitable cosmetic injectable procedures, including: Botox ®, and dermal fillers (i.e. Juvederm ®, Restylane ®, and Perlane ®), chemical peels, and physician directed skin care.
5. Hands-on Botulinum Toxin Type A (i.e. Botox ®, Dysport ®, Xeomin ®) training.
6. Hands-on IPL / laser training.
7. Hands-on medical microdermabrasion training.
8. How to maximize profits by offering Chemical Peels and Physician-grade Cosmeceutical Skin Care lines.

Physicians rave that, “the support one gets from the IAPAM afterwards definitely makes the course different than the others.” Indeed, the benefits from attending an IAPAM Symposium and membership in the IAPAM endure beyond the weekend, including:

a. Access to the IAPAM’s impressive member only web resource portal, containing all the resources an aesthetic physician would require.
b. Access to AMA CAT 1 PRA Aesthetic Medicine and Obesity/Weight Management CMEs.
c. Advanced Hands-On Aesthetic Medicine Training: Botox ® training, Dysport ® training, Advanced Dermal Filler training (Juvederm ®, Restylane ®, Perlane ®), cosmetic laser training, chemical peel training, microdermabrasion training, ultrasound and laser liposuction training, medical spa business training.
d. Access to a clinical video library, covering the following procedures: Botox ® Injection to Crows Feet & Eyelids, Restylane ® Injection for Fuller Lips with Dental Block for Comfort, Restylane ® injection for fuller lips, Cheek enhancement with Juvederm ®, Eyebrow shaping/lift with Juvederm ®, Tear trough correction with Juvederm ®, Neurological Uses of Botox ®, Lower facial reshaping with Botox ® and Lipodissolve, and many more.
e. Unlimited access to the most comprehensive Aesthetic Medicine on-line training system for attendees and their staff.
f. Access to aesthetic practice forms and protocols.
g. Access to clinical white papers and clinical studies, including: Long-Distance Retrograde Effects of Botulinum Neurotoxin Type A, Recognizing Melanoma, Laser lipolysis to melt localized fat and improve skin laxity, dermatologic conditions that can be worsened by lasers and light sources, Botox ® with over 65 patients, medical weight management, and many more.
