2 Cougar Conventions Crown Miss Cougar America & Canada

Single women who prefer younger men are invited to compete for the title of Miss Cougar America OR Miss Cougar Canada at two National Cougar Conventions.

San Rafael, CA, April 27, 2013 -- Contact: Tom Andrews, 415/507-9962

Single women who prefer younger men are invited to compete for the title of Miss Cougar America OR Miss Cougar Canada at two National Cougar Conventions:

- Canadian Cougar Convention, Friday, July 12, 2013, 7:30pm, at The Roxy, 932 Granville St, Vancouver BC.

- American Cougar Convention, Saturday, July 13, 2013, 7:30pm, at Volume Seattle, 172 S Washington St, Seattle WA.

The Conventions are sponsored by http://www.SugarDaddyforMe.com, the world's largest website promoting non-traditional romantic relationships. The website has four million members.

"Age discrimination is perhaps the most pervasive prejudice in Society," says Mr. Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals, the world's largest non-profit singles organization, and Executive Producer of http://www.cougarevents.com, who will also keynote The Convention. "Older women, in particular, are victimized by our youth-obsessed society. They are regarded as 'non-sexy'. Supposedly males are only attracted to nubile 20 year olds found in the centerfolds of men's magazines. The truth is that there are millions of men who find older women attractive, and we will prove it at tonight's convention!"

Rich Gosse is America's foremost authority on finding a romantic partner. He is the author of eight books on this topic, including The Cougar Imperative: Why MidLife Women MUST Choose Younger Men; Singles Guide to America; and A Good Man Is EASY to Find ("This is a great book!" Oprah Winfrey). His entertaining advice has been featured by ABC, BBC, CBS, CNN, CNBC, Fox, MSNBC, Oprah, Cosmopolitan, Newsweek, Entrepreneur, Business Week, Playboy, Playgirl, The Wall Street Journal, Toronto Sun, London Times, The Australian, The New Zealand Herald, etc. Mr. Gosse is available to the news media for interviews by calling 415/479- 3800. His website is http://www.richgosse.com.

Both conventions begins at 7:30pm with the Keynote Address: Younger Men/Older Women: The Ideal Combination. Cubs (younger men) in attendance will select one Cougar to win the title of Miss Cougar America OR Miss Cougar Canada, who will win a free berth on the Cougar Cruise to the Bahamas, December 6-9, 2013.

Right Now Wellness Presents the Secret to a Fulfilled Life

Right Now Wellness works with clients to ensure they find what they are looking for in life, no matter what that is. Each person is an individual with unique needs and personal goals. Working together, we can define those goals and work to make them happen," said Amanda Wright of Right Now Wellness.

Richmond, VA (April 27, 2013) -- Holistic therapy, the art and science of healing which addresses the mind, body and spirit of the person, offers many benefits. Therapy of this type honors the lifestyle, observations, habits and beliefs of the person being treated, and treatment methods of less harm are preferred over riskier ones. "Respect for the individual remains the top priority throughout treatment to help healing on all levels," Amanda Wright of Right Now Wellness declares.

Right Now Wellness (http://www.rightnowwellness.com) offers healing art massage therapy. This technique began more than 3,000 years ago with the ancient Egyptians, Persians and Hindus using it for a wide range of ailments. Conditions from arthritis to immune suppression benefit from massage. "Right Now Wellness offers deep tissue massage, acupressure, Thai massage, couples massage and more to benefit a wide range of conditions," Ms. Wright explains. "The goal is to find the right massage modality for what the client is experiencing."

Hypnosis focuses a person's awareness to allow the conscious mind and the subconscious to believe the same message. The client feels calm and relaxed while under hypnosis which allows him or her to concentrate intensely while blocking out distractions. "Hypnosis has been successfully used to help patients break unwanted habits, reduce stress or cope better with medical conditions. The effects of this treatment last for an extended period of time and the client's overall quality of life improves," Ms. Wright goes on to say.

Couples struggle at times as every relationship goes through ups and downs. Traditional marriage counseling and s*x therapy revolve around verbal communication and work at home assignments. "With couples therapy, the goal transitions to exploring the relationship on a deeper level, one that includes real time interactions and non-verbal communication. "Partners learn how to feel fulfilled, on an emotional and a sexual level," Ms. Wright states.

Many find themselves struggling to find fulfillment in life as they don't have the life they truly envision. They continue doing the same things while expecting to see different results. "When this is the case, the person suffers in every area of life. Right Now Wellness works with clients to ensure they find what they are looking for in life, no matter what that is. Each person is an individual with unique needs and personal goals. Working together, we can define those goals and work to make them happen," Ms. Wright proclaims.

About Right Now Wellness:

Right Now Wellness works to help clients break patterns that aren't helping them move forward and let go of things which are keeping them stuck in the past. Ms. Wright helps clients find the clarity they need to find their next step and uses a variety of healing modalities to help clients get to where they want to be now. Ms. Wright is a certified hypnotherapist, an NLP/life coach, certified intimacy coach and educator and certified massage therapist. She is also a Reiki master, an ordained minister/spiritual counselor, mediation guide and has experience with relationship counseling.

New Site Launch Supports Full time Service for Newark Area HVAC Contractor

The Fixer HVAC, a proud member of the Delaware Small Business Chamber, is excited to be a part of HVACNewarkDE.com, bringing with the company a level of quality and honesty, and a standard of work ethic like no other.

Newark, DE (April 27, 2013) -- There are special considerations and nuances involved in acquiring the proper permits for installation or repair of heating and air conditioning systems in the Newark, DE area. Because of this HVACNewarkDE.com has brought in "The Fixer Heating and Air" to service the HVAC needs of the residents of Newark. The Fixer Heating and Air maintains the proper level of insurance, qualifications and licensing to allow them to pull the proper permits to take care of your HVAC needs.

As one of the premier heating and air conditioning service companies in New Castle County several years running, The Fixer HVAC, a proud member of the Delaware Small Business Chamber, is excited to be a part of http://www.HVACNewarkDE.com, bringing with the company a level of quality and honesty, and a standard of work ethic like no other. The Fixer Heating and Air prides itself on being the working man's HVAC company, providing reasonable cost and dependable service which allows each and every family to be comfortable in their home. See this page for more info on cutting costs.

While simple repairs or maintenance, furnace cleanings, or air conditioner services, for instance, don't often require permits, it is still very important to hire the right heating and air company to service your HVAC needs. Proper licensing and insurance is a must when choosing the right company to keep your system up to code. HVACNewarkDE.com knows that and has brought the "right" company on board to make the choice easier; The Fixer Heating and Air.

"The Newark area is tough with the permits and requirements which really drives up the costs for any contractor looking to service residents in that area," states owner, Mr. Allen. "We strive to keep overhead very low so that we can continue to help people at affordable rates to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer."

Heating and air conditioning is not the only consideration when it comes to the air quality of your home. Often the winter months can bring about very dry conditions, chapped lips, painful sinuses, and the like. The Fixer HVAC can install a complete house humidifier to take the edge off those chilly mornings. Dust in the venting can also be an inconvenience and a trigger for allergy sufferers. The Fixer Heating and Air not only cleans the system but the ducts also, to keep you home as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

Vegas Versus Victoria Falls: Which Vacation Is The Better Value?

Study compares costs of 10 global adventure trips with rates at 3-4 star hotels.

(For Immediate Release) April 26, 2013 -- Today's travelers seek memorable experiences when they vacation. A recent cost comparison study shows that global adventures can be more affordable than many three and four-star hotel stays. The research by AdventureLink.com suggests that cost-conscious consumers may wish to consider adventure travel as an alternative to traditional "been-there done-that" hotel stays.

Despite ongoing worries about the economy, the adventure travel industry is growing at 17 percent per year, according to the Adventure Travel Trade Association. The growth is being fueled by aging baby boomers seeking more value from their vacation travel experiences. "Many travelers don't realize that some of the most sought-after adventure trips in the world cost less per day than staying in three and four-star hotels in major cities," says Kelly Tompkins, Founder & CEO of AdventureLink Travel Inc.

In the study, AdventureLink.com compared 10 popular trips-such as African safaris, climbing Machu Picchu, and walking tours of Europe-to the cost of staying at three and four-star hotels across major destinations.

	Adventure Trips	Days	Cost	U.S. Hotels	Days	Cost*
1	Costa Rica River Rafting	8	$649	Denver - Embassy Suites	8	$714
3	Moroccan Camel Trek	8	$740	New Orleans – Holiday Inn	8	$1,034
3	Kruger Safari to Victoria Falls	8	$1,075	Las Vegas – Treasure Island	8	$1,076
4	Trekking in Nepal	8	$1,100	San Diego - Best Western	8	$1,119
5	Machu Picchu, Peru	8	$1,249	Miami - DoubleTree	8	$1,302
6	Explore Northern India	8	$1,299	Honolulu - Aston Waikiki	8	$1,351
7	Croatia Walking Tour	8	$1,384	Washington DC – Radisson Hotel	8	$1,431
8	Guided Tour in Italy	8	$1,388	Los Angeles - Hilton	8	$1,445
9	Hike Mont Blanc in the Alps	8	$1,549	Chicago - Hilton	8	$1,662
10	Grand Canyon and Yosemite Hiking	8	$1,705	San Francisco - Club Quarters	8	$1,780

*Expedia 3-to-4 star hotel prices for single occupancy from May 12 - May 19, 2013. Sourced April 15, 2013.

As with hotel stays, adventure tours typically do not include airfare. But adventure vacations do often include the cost of lodging, meals and in many cases a guide and local transportation.

"Everybody is value-conscious. So when I share with friends the adventures they can have for as little as $59 dollars a day, they often can't believe it," notes adventure travel pioneer Richard Bangs, an AdventureLink board member. Bangs points out that AdventureLink.com alone offers over 350 trips that cost less than $59 per day, roughly the cost of a night at a Motel 6.

"Most people are unaware that meaningful, affordable adventure travel options exist. That's why we created AdventureLink.com," Tompkins adds.

As Time Goes By a Novel by Dr. Benedict A. Baglio Released Worldwide In eBook Form

Baglio releases his fifth book, a historically accurate fiction book -- As Time Goes By.

Patchogue, NY (April 25, 2013) -- Initially stunned and confused by his meeting with his World War II hero John Waldron, modern day Navy pilot Steven Amato is left endorsed and enriched by the experience.

As Time Goes By written by Dr. Benedict Baglio (http://www.benbaglio.com) encourages the imagination to reconsider the reality that described America during the dark days of World War II. It asks the reader to define selflessness and service in terms that were applicable then, and now. It begs the questions -- What has changed? What has remained constant? Are we as good as the people of that generation, or are we better because of them? Dr. Benedict Baglio did exhaustive research while writing As Time Goes By making the characters and the dilemmas that are cast upon them rich and full of life, then and now.

As Time Goes By is a story of heroes, both past and present. They are connected by their love of the United States Navy and the country it protects and defends. John C. Waldron lost his life in a valiant but doomed attack on the Japanese fleet at Midway. So unselfishly brave were his actions that Winston Churchill wept upon hearing his story and the torpedo squadron of aircraft he led. So gallant were their deeds that the commanding Admiral of the Japanese Fleet Chuichi Nagumo prayed for their souls as Waldron and his command fell in fire and blood to the full might of the his Imperial Fleet.

Steven Amato is a modern day Navy pilot who grew up with Waldron's legend practically embedded in his DNA. Amato has a severe crisis of faith when he is ordered to avoid engagement when Libyan aircraft butcher a dear friend as they fly combat air patrol over the Mediterranean Sea in the early 1980s. Amato is about to quit the Navy, until a Hamilton Chronometer, found tucked under the front seat of a 1939 Ford Convertible, intervenes. He bought the Ford from the failing father of one of the men Waldron led to his death at Midway. The watch provides an unexplained portal for Amato to examine Waldron's character, leadership and the facts surrounding his demise, up close and personal.

"This novel will be enjoyed by the serious World War II historian, as well as those who consider the what-if's of history as nutritional food for thought. If you fancy teleology in your reading, this might well be a book that should sit on your shelf or in your electronic reader," says author Ben Baglio.

As Time Goes By is historically accurate. Baglio performed painstaking research to detail the land as it was then and is now. He envelopes the reader with his love of the historical period that sets the stage for the book. His characters are animated by rich descriptions of place and time in the past and present. Readers have enjoyed the plot twists and turns that Baglio uses to spin his tale.

As Time Goes By in ebook form ISBN 9781622870431, was published by First Edition Design Publishing. It is available on-line wherever ebooks are sold.

Yale Pest Elimination Warns of Rising Bed Bug Infestions

"Bed bug infestations need to be treated immediately as the bugs bite and may cause allergic reactions," according to Jim Miller of Yale Termite and Pest Elimination (YalePest.com).

Ansonia, CT (April 25, 2013) -- According to a survey conducted by the NPMA and the University of Kentucky, 95 percent of professional pest management companies in the United States have dealt with an infestation of bed bugs in the last twelve months. Before 2000, only 25 percent reported one or more encounters with these creatures. "Bed bug infestations need to be treated immediately as the bugs bite and may cause allergic reactions," according to Jim Miller of Yale Termite and Pest Elimination (http://www.yalepest.com).

Home owners often attempt to treat this problem on their own with very little success. According to those surveyed, bed bugs continue to be the hardest pest to treat. An overwhelming 76 percent of respondents stated bed bugs are harder to treat than ants, termites and cockroaches. "Property owners need to seek the services of a professional pest company (http://www.yalepest.com/extermination-services/bed-bugs/bed-bug-exterminator) to get rid of the bugs as a bed bug may lay more than 500 eggs in their lifetime," Mr. Miller continues.

Bed bugs don't need food to survive either as a bed bug can go months without a meal. The hatchlings are minuscule and easily pass through stitch-holes in mattresses and other tiny openings. They survive in a wide range of temperatures and ingest up to seven times their body weight in blood. "Any property owner who suspects he or she has bed bugs needs to call in a professional exterminator (http://www.yalepest.com/extermination-services) right away," Mr. Miller declares.

Bed bugs don't transmit disease, yet can lead to an allergic reaction. They take up residence in clean and unclean homes and buildings although 37 percent do believe they are attracted to those homes and offices which are dirty. Household income doesn't play a role in where bed bugs live either.

"Every home and office is susceptible to bed bugs as they may be picked up in a wide variety of locations. Bed bugs catch a ride on people and their belongings, making it possible to pick the bugs up in hotels, college dorms, public transportation, movie theaters and laundry facilities. Although infestations are more common in suburban and urban areas than in rural ones, everyone needs to be aware of bed bugs and what to look for," Mr. Miller states.

About Yale Pest Elimination:

Established in 1983, Yale Termite and Pest Elimination Corp remains an industry leader. The family owned and operated company makes use of integrated pest management practices in all that they do. They provide fast and effective pest control solutions for both residential and commercial clients and have been trusted by thousands over the years. The typical client has been with the company for more than five years and all pest control technicians maintain state licensing. The National Pest Management Association recognized Yale Termite and Pest Elimination Corp. for meeting published standards of a QualityPro company.

Moving Right Along Presents Moving Solutions for Business and Residential Moves Alike

"When one goes to change his or her residence, the right moving company helps to make the transition smooth in every way," Jim Rueda of Moving Right Along (MovingRightAlong.com) states.

Ozone Park, NY (April 25, 2012) -- According to the 2007 American Community Survey (ACS), the average American moves 11.7 times in his or her lifetime. The satisfaction of a move depends in great part on the moving company selected. "When one goes to change his or her residence, the right moving company helps to make the transition smooth in every way," Jim Rueda of Moving Right Along (http://www.movingrightalong.com) states.

Whether one is moving to a new residence or new commercial location, he or she needs to feel comfortable with the moving company selected as the movers are handling his or her possessions. "Each possession in a home or office is chosen with care by the owner. Movers need to remember this at all times and treat each item as if it were their own. Many moving companies seem to forget this," Mr. Rueda continues.

Items such as fine art and antiques or musical instruments such as a piano require special treatment. Special equipment may be needed to transport these items safely or special packing materials must be used. "Moving Right Along (http://www.movingrightalong.com/moving.html) understands this and equips each truck with a wide range of packing supplies and special equipment to properly care for these items," Mr. Rueda goes on to say.

No two businesses are alike and therefore no two commercial moves are identical either. Some companies find themselves in need of records storage while others wish to have warehousing and distribution help. When a company chooses to relocate, Moving Right Along (http://www.movingrightalong.com/commercial.html) sends in a project manager to assess the situation and map out a plan for the move. "Having this service reduces the amount of downtime a company experiences during a move. With competition fierce in many industries, customers appreciate this as it ensures they don't fall back in terms of their competition during a move," Mr. Rueda explains.

Moving Right Along offers many other services consumers may find they need when switching residences or commercial locations. From junk removal and home cleaning services to fumigation and storage, Moving Right Along strives to meet the needs of customers in every area. "The fewer companies involved in a move, the easier the entire process becomes which is why many in New York look no further than Moving Right Along," Mr. Rueda stresses.

About Moving Right Along:

Moving Right Along began as a part time venture in 1976 when it was known as Jim's Moving Company. In 1981, Jim completed his Bachelor of Business Administration Degree in Marketing at Baruch University and he opted to change the name to Moving Right Along Service, Inc. Although the name changed, the company's commitment to reliable and friendly service at a great low price remained. During the 1980s, the company expanded from a one truck operation to an eight truck organization. In 1988, Jim chose to purchase a Packaging Plus franchise which led to him branching out in many other areas. Services offered now include crating, interstate and international moving and containerized storage. Over the years, Jim has personally overseen all company operations and works to ensure a client's transition to a new home or office is smooth thanks to quick and quality service.

Winnipeg Company continues evolution into a full-service real estate management firm.

Winnipeg, MB (April 24, 2013) -- Imperial Properties, already a leader in the Winnipeg condominium property management market, has launched its new brand identity to reflect its evolution into a full-service real estate management company.

The new brand symbolizes how Imperial Properties sets new standards when it comes to open communication and transparent operations. The company also uses the latest technology and methods for an efficient and straightforward process, making it easy for its clients to work with a reliable property management provider. Imperial Properties' new logo and brand markers use a minimal amount of color to express this clear-cut nature.

"If there's one thing we've heard time and again from our clients, it's that they like the fact that they can depend on us for property management services and that there are no hidden fees or cut corners," said Schulz. "We take great pride in the quality of our services and the dedication of our staff, which is why we have been blessed to expand so rapidly."

257 Osborne Street, Imperial Properties' first commercial development, is located at Confusion Corner in Winnipeg. The landmark property will feature large windows, an open floor plan and modern mechanical systems.

URALCHEM increased Funding for Environmental Programs in 2012 and Improved its Environmental Performance

"URALCHEM attaches great importance to the preservation of the environment and pursues a deliberate and transparent environmental policy in the regions where it operates. One of the most important results of our work has been the fact that in 2012 all our enterprises have kept well within the limits for permissible concentrations of pollutants set by the government regulators." commented by Dmitry Konyaev, CEO of URALCHEM.

Moscow, Russia (April 24, 2013) -- In 2012, the URALCHEM group increased funding for environmental programs to 465.6 million roubles. This represents an increase of more than 28% compared with 2011. Successful projects included new modern processing facilities and treatment systems, industrial waste recycling and reclamation of previously polluted sites.

The Azot branch of URALCHEM in Berezniki in 2012 implemented an environmental programme costing a total of more than 44 million roubles. During the year, factory emissions were reduced by 3%, concentration of monoethanolamine pollutants in waste water was reduced by 37% and suspended substances pollutants by 11%, oxides of nitrogen emissions were reduced by 10% and carbon monoxide emissions decreased by 9%.

MFP Kirovo-Chepetsk Chemical Works in Kirovo-Chepetsk in 2012 spent 259 million roubles on environmental measures. During the year, emissions decreased to 52.5% of the limits set by the regulators, compared with 57.8% in 2011. New technical equipment was commissioned and gas cleaning systems were modernized. One of the highlights was the completion of work to eliminate the liquid phase at the 6th section of the chalk tailings storage facility. This work is part of a large, multi-year reclamation project being carried out on the facility.

Minudobrenia in Perm in 2012 spent more than 70 million roubles on environmental activities. Because of the specific type of production at the facility, 90% of costs are related to the improvement of water management through technology improvement projects. These projects reduce water consumption by eliminating leaks in water supply and sewage networks. This is particularly important in light of the fact that the enterprise does not discharge waste water to the surface waters.

URALCHEM's enterprise in Voskresensk in 2012 spent 92 million roubles on environmental projects. Among the main activities were the modernization of equipment and the improvement of technological processes in the major manufacturing plants, as well as in the shops for the neutralization and treatment of industrial waste water.

Dmitry Konyaev, CEO of URALCHEM commented:

"URALCHEM attaches great importance to the preservation of the environment and pursues a deliberate and transparent environmental policy in the regions where it operates. One of the most important results of our work has been the fact that in 2012 all our enterprises have kept well within the limits for permissible concentrations of pollutants set by the government regulators."
