Glenmore Healthcare's hCG Program is Consistent with Dr. Oz's hCG March 14, 2012 Recommendations

The core principles of Glenmore Healthcare's hCG for Weight Loss Program are consistent with those outlined by Dr. Oz in his March 14, 2012 segment on hCG for weight loss: it is imperative for patients to undertake an hCG program under the care of a trained physician, and never use hCG (homeopathic hCG) that is sold without a prescription.

Calgary, Alberta, March 16, 2011 -- In his March 14, 2012 segment on hCG for weight loss (http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/does-hcg-diet-work-pt-1), Dr. Oz announced that he had "new data" on the successful use of hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) for weight loss. In a pilot study conducted by a leading medical weight management physician, Dr. Oz reported that patients following a strict, medically supervised hCG Protocol, were not hungry and lost weight, and ultimately lost more "fat vs. muscle," than patients on only a low calorie diet.

During the segment, Dr. Oz had several key messages regarding the safe and effective use of pharmaceutical grade hCG in a physician-supervised weight loss program. These key messages are consistent the hCG for Weight Loss Program offered at Calgary's Glenmore Healthcare and Wellness Clinic (http://www.glenmorehealthcare.com):

1. Consistent with the FDA's position, homeopathic hCG (hCG drops, etc.) DOES NOT WORK. Only pharmaceutical hCG, prescribed by a physician as part of a proven hCG Protocol, is effective in fat and weight loss.

2. Unlike weight loss from a restrictive diet alone, where up to 1/3 of a patient's weight loss is muscle loss, patients on an hCG Protocol loose fat from their stomachs, buttocks, etc. and "leave the muscle alone."

3. Dr. Oz recommends that any patient on a diet under 1200 calories, should be under the direct care of a physician.

Glenmore Healthcare's exclusive hCG Weight Loss Program (http://www.glenmorehealthcare.com/our-program) concurs with Dr. Oz's hCG recommendations. Glenmore Healthcare's hCG medically supervised weight loss program is based upon the successful protocol originally developed in 1954 by Dr. Simeons, and detailed in his report, Pounds and Inches, and is built around a low calorie diet coupled with the administration of the pharmaceutical grade of the naturally occurring hormone, hCG. Glenmore Healthcare follows the IAPAM's (International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine http://www.iapam.com) hCG Weight Loss Protocol (http://www.hcgtraining.com), which has been administered to over 20,000 patients around the world with consistent weight loss results.

Patients participating in the Glenmore Healthcare’s hCG for Weight Loss Program are monitored by a licensed physician who specializes in hCG for weight loss. Labs, vital statistics and body analysis (BIA) measurements are recorded prior to starting the program. Patients at Glenmore Healthcare have lost as much as 20 pounds in our 26 day program, and 35 pounds in our 43 day program. At the end of the program, clinic staff will test a patient’s RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) with the same equipment as used on NBC's "The Biggest Loser." It is very important that when a patient partakes of an hCG weight loss program, that they complete it under the supervision of a physician and follow the entire detailed protocol, as is done at Glenmore Healthcare.

For more information on Glenmore Healthcare's hCG program or to book a consultation, contact Glenmore Healthcare at 403-452-5699 or info@glenmorehealthcare.com.

FPL and NASA - A Powerful Partnership

"Whether it's supporting future space flight or the growing needs of businesses and residents of the Space Coast, FPL and its Cape Canaveral Next Generation Clean Energy Center will stand ready to power that future with affordable, reliable electricity," said Mark Lemasney, FPL's General Manager at its Cape Canaveral Plant.

Juno Beach, FL (March 16, 2012) -- In April, 1965, just weeks before astronaut Ed White opened the hatch of Gemini 4 to become the first American to walk into space, Florida Power & Light launched a new power plant to help provide energy for the emerging space program.

The company gave its facility a name to reflect this new and vital partnership - the Cape Canaveral Power Plant.

“NASA’s had a partnership with Florida Power & Light since the ‘60’s,” said NASA Public Affairs Director Allard Beutel. “President Kennedy laid out a few years earlier that we would go to the moon and back safely by the end of the 1960’s. And that was all from scratch. We needed buildings and facilities and everything requires electricity.”

From the Apollo missions, which achieved that most magnificent goal of landing a man on the moon, to the shuttle program and the construction of the international space station, NASA’s investments in the future, and innovations in technology helped it soar to new heights.

For nearly 50 years, FPL has helped its partner fuel that innovation.

“The plant became more efficient,” said Mark Lemasney, FPL’s General Manager at its Cape Canaveral Plant. “We added natural gas to what was originally an oil fired plant. We invested to improve our operations, which allowed us to meet the growing needs of the space program.”

In 2010, FPL prepared to take its most innovative step yet. The company demolished its original plant to make room for a new, highly efficient clean energy center. The Cape Canaveral Next Generation Clean Energy Center, scheduled to come online in 2013, is designed to produce more electricity using a third less fuel and cut emissions in half. “This really is an investment in the future,” said Lemansey. “We will create a state of the art, clean energy center that will pay for itself in the savings our customers, including NASA, will realize over the life of this plant.”

The project is already having a powerful impact on the Space Coast.

“It’s beautiful, it’s incredible,” said Sarah Cespedes of Port St. John, who works as a receptionist on the site of the future clean energy center. “There are a lot of local people working here and I'm one of them.”

James Gatton of Meritt Island is another local resident who has joined the 650 people employed on the project. He says he’s excited about the work and the legacy they are building for the region.

“It has been fantastic,” said Gatton. “With the state of the economy, it’s really boosting it.”

When the project is complete, the new clean energy center is expected to generate $12 million in tax revenue to the local schools and governments in the Brevard County area. “Whether it’s supporting future space flight or the growing needs of businesses and residents of the Space Coast, FPL and its Cape Canaveral Next Generation Clean Energy Center will stand ready to power that future with affordable, reliable electricity,” said Lemasney.

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. The company consistently outperforms national averages for service reliability while customer bills are below the national average. A clean energy leader, FPL has one of the lowest emissions profiles and one of the leading energy efficiency programs among utilities nationwide. FPL is a subsidiary of Juno Beach, Fla. - based NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE). For more information, visit http://www.FPL.com.

Luxury Itineraries Launch in Myanmar

Luxury Travel Ltd to Unveil Discover Myanmar from Highlights to Beach Relaxation in Style for Discerning Travelers. Travelers will visit all highlights of Myanmar tour embracing the heritage and cultures, then rest and relax at Ngapali Beach.

Hanoi, Vietnam, March 15, 2012 -- Luxury Travel Ltd is an award winning luxury tour operator and has unveiled a new upscale travel experience for the most discerning travelers to Myanmar.

On this latest Myanmar tour, travelers will discover the best places in Yangon-Bagan-Mandalay-Inle Lake and rest and relax in the best beach of Myanmar in the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean.

Myanmar or Burma is the sleeping dragon of Southeast Asia. Political and economic reforms will de facto create a new impetus in the tourism sector. All media and people talk about a new era of the country. Myanmar is a buzz world for savvy cultural travelers who want to be the first to discover a country.

“Myanmar has attracted travelers for decades to its abundant forests, rich wildlife, ancient cities and fascinating culture. You will be surprised by pristine beaches, glittering golden temples and majestic pagodas, and you'll start to realize what the buzz is all about” Said Pham Ha, Founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.

Myanmar is known as the Land of the Million Temples. The main destinations in Myanmar, Yangon, Mandalay and Bagan are home to thousands of golden temples and treasured pagodas.

Yangon is the capital of Myanmar and located in the southern region and spread across three rivers. Mandalay is the historical capital of Myanmar and home to thousands of cultural memorials, Buddhist monasteries and stunning palaces. Myanmar's archaeological crown belongs to sparkling Bagan. Founded as a kingdom in 1044, Bagan is home to thousands of temples, pagodas, stupas and ruins, making it one of the richest archaeological sites in Southeast Asia.

Heho where Inle Lake is located. Visiting Inle Lake is like traveling back in time. Over 70000 people from different group ethnic groups live in small villages and four small towns bordering the lake. Their way of life has little changed over the years. Fisherman still row boat with one leg while standing on the other. It is amazing! Although tourism has started to creep its way into village life, the lake still offers a serene escape from the hectic pace of life found elsewhere in Asia.

Among Ngapali beach, Ngwesaung Beach, Chaungtha Beach, Ngapali beach is probably the best and a premier beach destination in Myanmar for holidaymakers who want to be the first to discover a beach destination with un-spoilt white sand beaches fringed with coconut groves as far as the eye can see.

“From the seductive capital Yangon (where noise-polluting scooters and horn-honking are banned) and the mist-cloaked forests of the Irrawaddy, to the beguiling Inle Lake and stupa-studded Bagan (best viewed from a hot-air balloon at dawn), to enjoy empty beach in Ngapali and not forgetting the grins and handshakes here, there and everywhere, Burma is Asia as it once was, it’s the authenticity.” said Charlotte Ham, Marketing Senior Executive, Luxury Travel Ltd Myanmar. “This trip has been carefully designed to provide a unique experience in the destination, promote cultural understanding and exchange, flow smoothly from place to place, allow time for relaxation and exploration on your own, provide maximum value, and very importantly to be enjoyable. The itinerary can be modified to suit your tastes, timeframe, budget, and special interests.”

Tour prices start from 4,999 USD per person for two persons (double occupancy), including private transfer, pick up and drop off services, domestic flights, meals, English or French speaking guide, entrance fees, and luxury five star accommodations such as Aureum Palace in Bagan and Ngapali, The Governor Residence in Yangoon.

“Hillary Clinton has paid an official visit to Myanmar or Burma in 2011, the first such U.S. diplomatic overture in half a century. Political and economic reforms will de facto create a new impetus in the tourism sector. The boycott of the destination - in place for many decades - is fading away with tourists now keen to visit one of Southeast Asian tourism’s last frontiers. Myanmar is a fantastic destination for its cultural and natural assets. And its wonderful population still gives authentic hospitality to visitors. Myanmar will be Southeast Asia's next fabulous destination for visitors who prefer to travel independently and pay a luxury over joining traditional tour groups. These travelers like to experience and interact at a deeper level with the local culture, heritage, and local people. This Luxury Myanmar tour has all to offer”, added Pham Ha.

Opened in 2004, Luxury Travel Company Limited is the first luxury tour operator and DMC in Indochina, Thailand and Myanmar, has its own offices, luxury vehicles, luxury travel advisors, and serves thousands of high-end travelers every year. The company’s depth of experience and large infrastructure enable it to create unique itineraries with the operational confidence to fulfill client expectations. Luxury Travel Ltd has won numerous travel awards for excellent performance, including the most recent award: “Best Luxury Tour Operator”.

IAPAM Announces April Symposium Dates - April 28-29, 2012

Since 2006, over 1,000 physicians (MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs), as well as their staff have attended the IAPAM’s 2-day Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums and Friday hCG Physician Training sessions. Today, the IAPAM announces the dates for its April Symposium with Botox ® training, April 28-29, 2012.

Las Vegas, Nevada (March 15, 2012) -- The number of patients turning to minimally invasive procedures like: Botox ® (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com), laser hair removal & skin rejuvenation, dermal filler injections, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and hCG for weight loss, continues to increase. In 2011, patient demand for these treatments increased by 6% from 2010. To support physicians in entering the aesthetic medicine field, the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) offers the "best medical training" in North America, with a focus on hands-on Botox Training.

IAPAM's Symposiums are "all inclusive," differentiating themselves from all other training offered in the US, by ensuring that physicians receive "everything they need" to start their aesthetic medicine programs. Registration includes "the complete package" of: hands on training, clinical training DVDs, patient consent forms, injection charts, protocol manuals, medical history forms, marketing samples, staff job descriptions, one year of dedicated and personal online and telephone practice support, and so much more.

Moreover, the IAPAM's Symposium is the only aesthetic medical training program where all physician instructors and attending faculty own and operate successful weight loss and aesthetic practices. Physicians learn practical tips and best practices over the weekend that no other program can offer, and past attendees confirm that they save $10,000s in misguided marketing and administrative expenses. One physician raved that it "was the best investment in money and time [he] ever made."

The Symposium provides:

- 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 botox ® training at a large successful, multi-million dollar medical practice, not in a hotel room.
- an environment that does not allow exhibitors, giving physicians 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.
- 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 19 Aesthetic Medicine clinical and business DVDs to refresh one's training or to train staff.

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

1. The latest trends in aesthetic medicine and how to use them to one's advantage.
2. Steps on how to profitably 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 revenues by offering Chemical Peels and Physician-grade Cosmeceutical Skin Care lines.

BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Expands Pipeline with the Initiation of a Study for Multiple Sclerosis

Proposed Trial Will Build on NurOwn(TM) Platform to Meet Unmet Needs of Patients with Neurodegenerative Disorders.

NEW YORK & PETACH TIKVAH, ISRAEL, Mar 13, 2012 -- BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc., a developer of adult stem cell technologies and CNS therapeutics, announces plans to initiate a preclinical study assessing the efficacy of its NurOwn(TM) stem cell technology in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Positive proof-of-concept results for MS have been confirmed in a set of in-vitro and in-vivo experiments, and the Company is working to advance MS into preclinical development in Q2 2012.

Based on initial promising pre-clinical data published by the Company's Chief Scientist, Prof. Daniel Offen of Tel Aviv University, BrainStorm has decided to explore MS as an additional indication for its NurOwn technology. The Company will draw plans to initiate pre-clinical safety trials, after which it will seek a leading medical center specializing in MS for clinical trials.

"We have been focused on growing our pipeline of indications using our NurOwn(TM) stem-cell technology," commented Dr. Adrian Harel, Acting CEO of BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics. "As we continue our ongoing trials to evaluate the safety, tolerability and therapeutic effects of NurOwn(TM) in ALS patients, we have determined through positive preliminary animal data that MS will be the next indication to pursue using our technology."

About NurOwn(TM) BrainStorm's core technology, NurOwn(TM), is based on the scientific achievements of Professor Eldad Melamed, former Head of Neurology, Rabin Medical Center, and Tel-Aviv University, and Professor Daniel Offen, Head of the Neuroscience Laboratory, Felsenstein Medical Research Center at the Tel-Aviv University.

The NurOwn(TM) technology processes adult human mesenchymal stem cells that are present in bone marrow and are capable of self-renewal as well as differentiation into many cell types. The research team is among the first to have successfully achieved the in-vitro differentiation of adult bone marrow cells (animal and human) into cells capable of releasing neurotrophic factors, such as glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), by means of a specific differentiation-inducing culture medium.

About Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is believed to be an autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS). Autoimmune means that the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissue, in this case, the tissues of the CNS. With MS, autoimmune damage to neurons disrupts the body's ability to send and receive signals, thus causing MS-related symptoms.Symptoms may vary due to the location and extent of the damage. Worldwide, MS may affect more than 2 million individuals, including approximately 400,000 people in the United States.

About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.
BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of adult stem cell therapeutic products derived from autologous bone marrow cells and intended for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The Company holds the rights to develop and commercialize its NurOwn(TM) technology through an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement with Ramot, the technology transfer company of Tel-Aviv University.

Brazil is a great place to invest, claims AAA

The news that the Brazilian economy has started to outperform many others, including the UK’s, has acted as a prompt for many to start looking for ways to invest in the growing country, according to AAA.

Boston, MA, USA, March 13, 2012 -- The news that the Brazilian economy has started to outperform many others, including the UK’s, has acted as a prompt for many to start looking for ways to invest in the growing country, according to Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

AAA, an alternative investment advocacy firm, has always seen Brazil as a great place to invest in commodities, such as timber, and in ethical and social funds, through impact investing routes. However, the world is expected to start investing cash in Brazil in droves thanks to the latest figures from the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR).

Over the past ten years, the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China, otherwise known as the BRIC region, have offered a comparatively safe haven for investors keen to avoid investing in the volatile markets in the US and Europe.

Now, the figures show that this is even more the case as Brazil’s economy is officially the sixth largest in the world, leaving the UK in its wake. Analyst at the CEBR claim that within a few years, Brazil’s economy will be stronger than that of France and Germany, climbing further up the ranking of the world’s great economic super powers.

“Although last year’s 2.7 per cent growth wasn't enormous, in the grand scale of things, Brazil continues to grow economically when many other top economies are still teetering on the edge of recession” explained AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson.

He added, “There has rarely been a better time to invest in emerging economies and investors who want to diversify their portfolios could not do better than investing in sustainable forestry in Brazil.

“We support the plantation projects bin run by firms like Greenwood Management, who are offering a unique and low-entry route into Brazilian investment, with an ethical edge.”
