Greenwood Management welcomes Brazilian progress on Olympic preparation


Reports that Brazil is making major inroads into its preparation for the 2016 Olympic Games have been welcomed by forestry investment firm Greenwood Management ApS.

Copenhagen, Denmark, July 05, 2011 -- Reports that Brazil is making major inroads into its preparation for the 2016 Olympic Games have been welcomed by forestry investment firm Greenwood Management ApS.

The Denmark-based investment firm operated sustainable forest plantations in the Latin American country, which is investing heavily in improving its infrastructure ahead of the major sporting event. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) claims Rio de Janeiro is making “remarkable progress’ in the preparations, with vast improvements being made to airports and other infrastructure that is vital to the smooth running of the event.

One of the major markets for Greenwood Management’s timber is for charcoal for the steel industry. As the work for the Olympics and the World Cup in 2014 continues, the demand for steel is rising and, therefore, the market for charcoal from non-native trees is expanding significantly.

Nawal El Moutawakel, the head of the IOC’s Coordination Commission, said, "Today I am happy to say that Rio 2016 and its partners have taken those words seriously and made remarkable progress.”

A spokesperson for Greenwood Management said, “We are thrilled to hear that the IOC has praised the rate of progress in Rio, with regard to the development of the region’s infrastructure. We predict further rises in the price and demand for charcoal from the steel industry as the investment in infrastructure continues over the coming years.”

Greenwood claims that it is seeing large demand for its charcoal as the Brazilian government has recently introduced legislation to discourage the use of charcoal from native timber within the steel industry.

The firm offer investors the option of buying up sections of forested land in Brazil, Canada and soon in Costa Rica. Investments in managed forestry have become popular in the wake of the financial crisis as this kind of alternative investment is not as responsive to, or dependent on, the performance of the stock markets. Therefore, risk-averse investors are turning to alternatives to ensure that some of their cash will be safe even in the event of another economic slump.

Russians Eager To Invest In Art Says AAA


Alternative investment advocacy group, AAA (Alternative Asset Analysis) claims that Russia is an important market for anyone considering opting for investments in art and antiques to diversify their portfolios.

Boston, MA, USA, July 03, 2011 -- Alternative investment advocacy group, AAA (Alternative Asset Analysis) claims that Russia is an important market for anyone considering opting for investments in art and antiques to diversify their portfolios.

AAA’s statement on the subject follows reports that a major British art consultancy called Art Market Research (AMR), is to offer its services in Russia due to the growth in the market there. The consultancy firm has produced market analysis reports and indexes to illustrate the rise and fall of the market for art and antiques. It also counts major auction houses in London, such as Christie’s and Sotheby’s as clients.

The consultancy’s director, Robin Duthy, said, "Russia is a country of vast opportunities. I am convinced of the great potential of its art market as well as in the swift development of the Russian banking system."

It has announced that it plans to team up with Russian partner Kollection after raising some EUR 500,000 to facilitate the expansion.

“This is a clever move by AMR,” said AAA’s analysis partner Anthony Johnson. “A growing number of people are keen to invest in tangible alternative assets that allow them to rest assured that their money will not disappear in front of their eyes in the event of another economic crash.

“The market for alternative investments in almost every form is growing and the art market is Russia looks to be particularly exciting new ground for investors who enjoy owning beautiful objects and investing in their future,” added Mr Johnson.

Russia’s appetite for high value art is being driven by the increasingly sophisticated and expensive tastes of its super-rich. They are demanding the same opportunities to invest in masterpiece paintings and antiques as their counterparts in London and at the moment, although they have far fewer auction houses offering this kind of investment, claimed AAA.

AMR’s Mr Duthy added that he is moving into the Russian market to offer the super-rich advice and guidance in terms of what makes a good deal, "I am certain there is a tremendous need for complex investment analysis in Russia's arts and antiques market,” he stated.

AAA Notes Increased Interest In Extremely Alternative Investments


Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has revealed that as the number of people opting for more mainstream alternative investments increases, so does the number of people opting for the more extreme end of alternative investments.

Boston, MA, USA, June 30, 2011 -- Alternative investment advocacy organization, Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA), says that as the number of people opting for more mainstream alternative investments increases, so does the number of people opting for the most alternative side of alternative investments.

AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, stated, “People are becoming more and more willing to try the alternatives market and some are looking into some really unusual investments to try to make a fortune – and good luck to them, sometimes it pays off!”

An example of this is the case of one Don Poffenroth who became tired of watching his $400,000 investment gain returns of between 3 and 5 percent. CNN Money reports that in 2007 he opted to take his money and invest $300,000 in a vodka distillery in the US. The distillery was one of just a small number in the whole of the States at the time and his risk paid dividends. The distillery is now raking in annual revenues of $1.5 million and Poffenroth’s 60 per cent stake is worth $1.2 million.

AAA says that a recent Russell investments’ survey found that investment in alternatives is set to grow to an average of 19 per cent of portfolio by 2012, from current levels of 14 per cent. “This positivity towards alternative assets is due to the fact that people are increasingly approaching their fund managers and asking them to diversity their portfolio to spread the risk,” claimed Johnson. “No one wants to be caught out again and investing in alternatives protects cash form the impact of wider economic factors,” he added.

For those who are keen on taking a leap of faith into the alternatives market, but are not quite in the position to risk it all on a vodka distillery, forestry investment in emerging markets is a sensible option, claims AAA. Firms like Greenwood Management offer people with as little as $10,000 to invest, the chance to own a piece of forested land in Brazil. They then get to watch their investment literally grow while feeling confident that their investment is also helping to prevent deforestation and help the Brazilian economy to flourish.

Many high net worth individuals around the world are also looking to include (quality) art as an important string in their investment bow. In a recent survey of high net worth individuals Merrill Lynch and Capgemini noted that art is the most likely 'investment of passion' to be seen as a form of financial investment. The same survey – the 2011 World Wealth Report – noted that alternative investments were up were up from five per cent of total portfolio value in 2009 to seven per cent in 2010, with this forecast to rise to as high as nine per cent in 2012.

Glenmore Healthcare's hCG Program is Consistent with Dr. Oz's hCG Principles


Calgary, Alberta, June 30, 2011 -- The core principles of Glenmore Healthcare's hCG for Weight Loss Program are consistent with those outlined by Dr. Oz in his interview for First for Women magazine's June 27th issue: 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.

In his recent interview in the June 27, 2011 issue of First for Women magazine (http://www.magazines.com/product/first-for-women), Dr. Oz delivers 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. Physician Supervision for patients undergoing an hCG Program is essential.
2. Never buy hCG over the internet. Only use pharmaceutical grade hCG as prescribed by a physician. hCG that is not prescribed by a physician is homeopathic hCG and has been found to only contain trace amounts of real hCG.
3. Successful weight loss using hCG requires that the patient follow a proven hCG protocol precisely.

Dr. Oz comments, in his article in First Magazine, that "there are some real legitimate folks out there who seem to have success with this," protocol, which "dates back to the 1950’s when "Dr. A.T.W. Simeons claimed that human chorionic gonadotrophin [hCG], a hormone produced during pregnancy to ensure a fetus gets necessary nutrients, could also promote weight loss....by simultaneously suppressing appetite while helping the boy burn fat."

Dr. Oz acknowledges that while hCG is not currently approved by the FDA for weight loss, "sometimes it's because the science hasn't caught up. When we see real people do things that work, we in the medical profession have to pay attention." The evidence is overwhelming. The IAPAM reports that over 10,000 patients have lost or are currently loosing weight under the care of the more than 400 physicians who have completed the IAPAM's hCG Training in the safe delivery of hCG for weight loss.

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 (human Chorionic Gonadotropin). Glenmore Healthcare follows the IAPAM's (International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine) hCG Weight Loss Protocol, which has been administered to over 10,000 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 and vital statistics 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."

The FDA states that, “HCG is a hormone extracted from the urine of pregnant women. It is approved by the FDA for the treatment of certain problems of the male reproductive system and in stimulating ovulation in women who have had difficulty becoming pregnant. No evidence has been presented, however, to substantiate claims for HCG as a weight-loss aid.” This is absolutely true if homeopathic hCG is taken, or the entire protocol is not followed. hCG taken on its own will not result in rapid, safe weight loss. 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 Heathcare.

About Glenmore Healthcare

Glenmore Healthcare is Calgary’s premiere provider of hCG medically supervised weight loss programs, aesthetic medicine (Botox, Dermal Fillers, Latisse), health and wellness services to individuals in the Calgary area.

IAPAM's hCG Training is Consistent with Dr. Oz regarding hCG for Weight Loss

Las Vegas, NV, June 29, 2011 -- The IAPAM has trained over 350 physicians on how to safely offer hCG for weight loss, and over 10,000 patients have successfully lost weight using the IAPAM's Exclusive hCG Protocol. The core principles of the IAPAM's hCG Training are consistent with those outlined by Dr. Oz in his recent interview for First for Women magazine. The IAPAM agrees with the key messages in Dr. Oz's article: 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.

In his recent interview in the June 27, 2011 issue of First for Women magazine (http://www.magazines.com/product/first-for-women), Dr. Oz delivers 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 with those taught in the IAPAM's Physician hCG Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training):
1. Physician Supervision for patients undergoing an hCG Program is essential.
2. Never buy hCG over the internet. Only use pharmaceutical grade hCG as prescribed by a physician. hCG that is not prescribed by a physician is homeopathic hCG and has been found to only contain trace amounts of real hCG.
3. Successful weight loss using hCG requires that the patient follow a proven hCG protocol precisely.

Dr. Oz comments, in his article in First Magazine, that "there are some real legitimate folks out there who seem to have success with this," protocol, which "dates back to the 1950’s when "Dr. A.T.W. Simeons claimed that human chorionic gonadotrophin [hCG], a hormone produced during pregnancy to ensure a fetus gets necessary nutrients, could also promote weight loss....by simultaneously suppressing appetite while helping the boy burn fat."

Dr. Oz acknowledges that while hCG is not currently approved by the FDA for weight loss, "sometimes it's because the science hasn't caught up. When we see real people do things that work, we in the medical profession have to pay attention." The IAPAM agrees and can report that over 10,000 patients have lost or are currently loosing weight under the care of the more than 350 physicians who have completed the IAPAM's hCG Training in the safe delivery of hCG for weight loss.

To date, all of the IAPAM's 2010 and 2011 hCG Medical Weight Management seminars have sold out, so to register for the next hCG Training session in Scottsdale, Arizona, please go to http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training, or contact the IAPAM at info@theiapam.com or 1-800-219-5108 ext 708.
