Cafe Prevention Now Able to Meet Fiscal Year Deadlines for Product Orders

June 11th, 2010

Springfield, MO ( QualityPressReleaser ) June 11, 2010 – For over 17 years, Community Partnership of which Café Prevention is a division has been developing high quality innovative, hard-hitting prevention materials. Three years ago, Café Prevention began offering these quality products to communities throughout the United States. In so doing, they are able to help various groups around the country while helping sustain the work of their own prevention organization.

If an order is needed by June 30 for fiscal year deadlines, please let Café Prevention know – they have a quick turnaround time for most products. They can also personalize billboards if you need this service.

Community Partnership works daily with youth, parents and schools. They saw first-hand the issues these groups face with regards to substance abuse, gangs, youth violence and teen dating violence. Community Partnership’s prevention and education materials have always been developed to meet their needs. These are tested in the field and are developed with youth, parent and school input, and got the right message to the right folks at an affordable price.

As a major hands-on player in the area of prevention, Café Prevention is accustomed to delivering the message in such a way as to engage the target audience so that they may produce measurable outcomes. Their products help do just that, day in and day out.

Additionally, Café Prevention has recently expanded their product line to include more posters on youth dating violence and teen prescription drug abuse, as they know these are becoming greater issues across the country. In a 2006 study by Liz Claiborne, 1 in 4 teens that had been in a serious relationship reported being hit or slapped by a partner, and a study by SAMHSA reports that 1 in 5 teens is abusing prescription medication. Of course, alcohol remains the number one drug of choice by those under 21, and Community Partnership is increasingly hearing of spikes in marijuana usage by teens. Café Prevention and Community Partnership’s product line continues to have engaging and effective materials in these areas of abuse.

Café Prevention is a community’s source for high quality, affordable prevention material designed to improve the health and well being of youth. They can meet the needs of organizations that have high quality products and offer the added benefit of invoicing by June 30, 2010 to meet fiscal year deadlines. Additionally, most products are shipped within 5 business days.

Café Prevention’s formats have been designed in response to feedback from educators, youth and parents and include postcards, games, door hangers, wallet cards, community toolkits, brochures and more.

Kids’ Love of Books Critical to Reading, Self-Esteem

June 11th, 2010

BOISE, IDAHO—6 May 2010
An Idaho company is publishing innovative personalized books to combat the bombardment of TV shows, toys, and video games that entertain children without educating. Spotlight Stories engage young children with intelligent, enjoyable, personalized storybooks that feature themselves in enchanting and exciting storylines.

SpotlightStories.com supports parents’ literacy efforts by creating personalized stories that put children’s images and names into books. Their first offerings, The Princess and the Fairy Wings, and Superhero Stomping Power! put the child’s name, appearance, family members, and friends into the story. Spotlight Stories’ founder and author, Monelle Smith, said, “Magic happens when children read about themselves in the story. They love being part of the fantasy.” Parents seem to agree. Chandelle Volo, mother of three from Pleasant Hill, California, said, “I couldn’t believe how my daughter’s face lit up when I read her Spotlight Story aloud, and she was the princess. She smiled up at me every time I read her name.”
A 2009 study done by Every Child a Chance Trust said, “The largest group of children requiring special educational needs (SEN) provision are those with literacy difficulties.”
Educators and writers face an uphill battle to increase literacy levels. Neysa Jensen, the Utah/Southern Idaho Assistant Regional Advisor for the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, said, “We value reading in our community, and yet too many of our children are not developing vital literacy skills. It’s up to everyone in a child’s life to support reading. We’re shaping tomorrow’s leaders.”
Spotlight Stories creates personalized picture books for children ages 2-10. Their first stories, The Princess and the Fairy Wings and Superhero Stomping Power, are now available at SpotlightStories.com.

To preview The Princess and the Fairy Wings or Superhero Stomping Power, visit SpotlightStories.com. For more information, contact Monelle Smith at 208-895-9717 or [email protected]

More Financial Aid for College with Appeals

June 10th, 2010

Latham, NY ( QualityPressReleaser ) June 10, 2010 – Seeking financial aid for college is not necessarily a process that ends with receiving an award letter from the school. More and more, students are successfully appealing their initial awards. The key to a successful appeal is to understand the rules that govern the process and to know how to apply them.

While the rules (Section 479A of the Higher Education Act of 1965) have always allowed adjustments to be made to a student’s financial aid for college, the Obama administration’s U.S. Department of Education has continually reminded financial aid administrators of this option.

Beginning in April 2009, the Department of Education issued a series of “Dear Colleague Letters”, update announcements, recorded training sessions, and amendments to the FSA handbook which reflected a new emphasis on the role of professional judgment in determining financial aid awards. At first, financial aid administrators were reluctant to use their authority to increase aid for more students (fearing that this activity would trigger higher levels of federal scrutiny) but the Department took action to remove this obstacle:

“We know that many financial aid administrators have been reluctant to use professional judgment because the Department has used the percentage of students for whom a professional judgment determination has been made as part of its risk-based model to select institutions for program reviews. For the 2008-09 and 2009-10 award years*, the Department will make appropriate adjustments to its risk-based model.”

Secretary Arne Duncan
May 8, 2009

- This has been extended to the 2010-2011 award year and to future award years.

This development has not gone unnoticed by financial aid consultants. The industry, which had formerly concentrated on helping families prepare and file FAFSA’s, expanded their efforts to include the composing of customized financial aid appeal letters. While there are no reliable statistics concerning the number of students who have received more money for college on appeal, most consultants offer a 100% money-back guarantee- an indication that the financial aid appeal letter is a successful tactic.

Families who wish to submit their own financial aid appeals need to know several things:

An appeal can only be based on special individual circumstances that differentiate the student.

A financial aid administrator cannot alter federal methodology or federal eligibility rules to grant an appeal.

An appeal cannot be granted for more than one school year at a time and cannot be granted for a previous school year once the term has ended.

An appeal can only be granted if the appropriate documentation is submitted to the financial aid office.

In addition, each school has its own forms, procedures, and rules for appealing financial aid for college. Learning these and knowing which type of adjustment to ask for, for each type of situation will increase the chances of approval by the college financial aid office.

Students and their families can learn more about the regulations and guidelines for financial aid appeals at collegeloanconsultant.com, a website that provides up-to-date, detailed information about how to meet college costs.

A Visitor Guide to Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt

June 10th, 2010

From a first look, Sharm El-Sheikh is nothing more than a big plateau with a cluster of buildings gathered on its peak. There are several docks and warehouses at its disposal following its river side on the Tiran Strait. The local beaches are not as plentiful as some neighboring holiday spots, but they are fancy nonetheless. Following a closer analysis of that clump of structures you will find a few of the richest and most visitor-friendly hotels and resorts in all of Egypt. And if you have been going the Earth around in search for the most delicious food available you’ve found the right spot.

Sharm el-Sheikh is positioned just on the far south tip of the Sinai Peninsula which is located in South Sinai Governorate, Egypt. It sits on the coast of the Red Sea with a population of about 30,000 to 40,000 people. The city was a subject of minor battles through history but is now known as ‘The City of Peace’ because it is a common location for surrounding countries to set up peace conferences.

With some of the fanciest resorts in all of Egypt, it is impossible not to come across a good place to kick your feet up. One of these resorts is called The Crowne Plaza Resort. Even with a five-star rating and extensive list of guest services and activities you can be treated as if you were a king there for roughly $100 US dollars per day. There are also some outrageously cheap hotels in Sharm el Sheikh. For budget hotel chains in Sharm el Sheikh you could spend your time in either the Falcon Inn Viva Sharm or Oriental Rivoli Hotel spending less than $50 US dollars per night and continue to be rather blown away with their overall quality and the amenities they offer.

Interested in a dose of Sharm El-Sheikh nightlife? Search no more than the Little Buddha. Little Buddha is an internationally renowned sushi bar, drinking bar, and dance club and is totally brought into one. Its succulent sushi and high energy atmosphere make it the number one spot for anybody searching for a party. For anyone who wants to have fun at a more comfortable environment The Tavern, The Mexican, or The Pirate’s Bar all offer a great feel of authenticity and atmosphere as well as awesome drinks that include well known mixes and some unique local specialties.

Sharm el Sheikh is a well known resort for lots of reasons, but its best aspects are its amazing landscape and proximity to the Red Sea. The water is warm year round and makes it a year round tourist spot for water sports and diving. Because of its moderate water temperatures and breath-taking underwater wildlife lots of scuba divers actually consider Sharm el-sheikh one of the best places to scuba dive in the whole world. Its reefs are extremely well known diving spots with walls reaching 2,500 feet below the surface. And with the Sharm El-Sheik Hyperbaric Medical Center there to handle any diving related sicknesses you may have Sharm El-Sheikh is a full service diving resort. If you’re not ready for diving then you can still try snorkeling, jet skiing, para sailing, motor-boating, and wind surfing to name a few. l

UGG Boots Website Expands Its Australian Sheepskin Collection

June 10th, 2010

The UGG Boots online company has revamped itself by adding several new products in its web store. This company, most notable for its genuine quality Australian sheepskin boots, has now added several other sheepskin products belonging to the categories of rugs, vests and jackets, scuffs and loafers and several others. This amelioration of the company’s web collection is in direct response to the heavy demand it has received from companies worldwide.

Speaking to our website about its new collection, a spokesperson from UGG Boots stated, “Australian sheepskin has a great demand in the western market, and we knew we had scored a hit when we came up with our special comfort sheepskin boots in the fledgling stages of our company. Now, going with the demand our company has garnered, we are proud to offer other high demand products that are made of the same fine quality sheepskin that our company is famous for.”

The sheepskin rugs that are part of this recent collection have already notched up a lot of interest. They include short wool and long wool rugs of various sizes, including one that is especially for infants. Keeping with the quality of its other products, these rugs contain 100% wool as well. Prices of the rugs are modest in comparison with other products available to western customers, starting at $95.

The company has also added new designs of scuffs and loafers. Scuffs haven’t been much popular in the western markets so far, however it is evident that the company is trying to start a new trend with its special warm scuffs that are lined with leather, which are especially targeted for the western market. This collection also includes soft- and hard-soled slippers targeted for domestic use in the colder places of the world.

One of the most notable features of the new collection of the UGG Boots online company is that it has added several products that are especially designed for younger people. There’s a whole category for baby products in which booties are becoming the most popular. Booties for Babies, as UGG Boots calls them, are made of 100% wool and have strong leather laces to keep them in place. Some of them are made with step soles and double faced sheepskin to add to their comfort value and make them more suitable for babies. Some of these products are sized down versions of the adult booties, with a little more of the comfort factor added.

The new collection also features some sheepskin accessories that might be worth checking out. Among other products here, there is a seatbelt cover, a sportsman’s hat, a steering wheel cover and a stubby holder which is popularly known as a coozie.

Direct Source China Provides Single Point Contact for Procurement from China

June 10th, 2010

It’s no secret that China has become a global manufacturing leader across a wide range of industries. Many large manufacturers and companies have expanded operations to China either through joint ventures or fully-owned enterprises. Small to mid-size manufacturers and businesses lacking an Asian presence can benefit greatly from an experienced sourcing company to procure these products from China.

Direct Source China, through its team of sourcing experts, QC engineers, and supply chain management specialists, offers a single contact point for all organizations looking to purchase directly from China to improve their supply chain and bottom line. “We bridge the gap between China manufacturers and the rest of the world by providing our clients a reliable sourcing  and procurement resource,” says Brandon Bal, a company representative.

The popularity of China-made products can be judged by the fact that total exports from China have raised by 45.7% in the past year. “This (increase) has some very strong reasons behind it,” says Bal. “Low cost and high quality are clearly top priorities for any company,” he continues. “But you need to be working with proven manufacturers in China or you might sacrifice one or both.”

As a substitute to opening operations in Asia, many small to medium size companies are turning to partners like Direct Source China to streamline the sourcing, buying, and QC processes. “At Direct Source China we act as our clients’ China buying office” says Bal. The company has offices in the U.S. and China and is in position to provide fluid communication and production solutions at both ends.

Factory visits are also arranged for customers who are looking for a more in-depth understanding of where their products are coming from. Direct Source China schedules tours and meetings with factory management making efficient use of their clients’ time in China. Their bi-lingual representatives assist with negotiations, travel arrangements, etc.

“We pride ourselves on providing our clients all the benefits of outsourcing to China with none of the problems” says Brandon Bal. “We are a one stop shop for all their sourcing, procurement, QC, and logistics needs in China,” he adds.

New Internet Marketing Service Promises to Increase Website Traffic with a You Tube Tsunami

June 10th, 2010

A new internet marketing service called YouTube Tsunami has taken the internet marketing and website traffic world quite by storm. This just-over-month-old venture has already started making internet marketers take notice by claiming that it can increase website traffic by more than 300,000 visitors a month—for very little money. Information on this new internet marketing service can be found at: http://youtubetsunami.com

Paul Lynch, the founder of You Tube Tsunami, reported that he has been able to drive over 309,013 visitors to one of his sites using the website traffic generation method that he details in a free video on his website. “Imagine the sort of money that you can make from your website if you can generate that sort of traffic,” he remarked.

It’s apparent that many marketers are dissatisfied with Google as their sole source of internet website traffic and are consequently turning to other creative internet marketing methods. With the increased popularity of video online, You Tube is proving to be a popular alternative.

Paul Lynch stated, “One of the main questions that people ask is if this is so powerful and you can generate these kind of numbers, why are you telling everybody—-why not keep it to yourself? Well I will let You Tube speak for itself and I quote from the You Tube fact sheet, ‘People are watching 2 billion videos a day on YouTube and uploading hundreds of thousands of videos daily. In fact, every minute, 24 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube.’ (from youtube.com/t/fact_sheet) That’s why there is no need to keep it to myself….the marketplace is absolutely massive……and is in fact growing faster than Google itself on a daily basis. In a nutshell, there is enough pie for over 1000 people to be doing this traffic trick and that is why I have no hesitation at all to share this information and provide this service.”

It seems likely that You Tube Tsunami is poised to be hit with a tsunami of its own as frustrated marketers flock to the site in an effort to learn the secret of how to drive massive amounts of traffic to their own websites – for little money.

Signs of Infertility in Women on the Rise

June 10th, 2010

The number of women showing signs of infertility continues to rise. While most of the factors affecting this problem revolve around female conditions, other causes that result to infertility issues include lifestyle issues like alcohol and substance abuse.

Infertility is the incapability to produce offspring. However, signs of infertility must never be confused with sterility. For women, a common sign of infertility is an irregular menstrual cycle. Other signs include weight problems – being either too thin or obese. However, there are women who are thin but don’t have problems conceiving. For obese women, the problem usually evolves around hormonal issues which can affect the reproductive system.

Women, who notice a few signs of infertility, should not worry because having some of these signs doesn’t mean that they are infertile. To be certain, it is still best to check with a specialist if you are having difficulty conceiving for more than one year or so.

According to signs-of-infertility.com, most problems resulting to infertility relies on women. This means, more than 50% of infertility problems are due to female conditions. Others revolve around sperm disorders or through unexplained causes.

For a woman to conceive, she needs to menstruate properly. If there are ovulation problems, infertility issues may follow. Other causes of infertility can be a result of uterine problems, tubal blockage and previous tubal ligation. The site also mentions that the age of a woman also play a big major role with regards to her fertility. As women age, their ability to conceive also decreases naturally. This is part of the aging process. To explain this further, women lose 1,000 eggs every month. Furthermore, conditions like endometriosis, PCOS or other sexually transmitted diseases can aggravate and worsen the signs of infertility.

PID or pelvic inflammatory disease is another cause of infertility. It is a very serious pelvic inflammation due to untreated gonorrhea or chlamydia. When there is scarring, the fallopian tubes become blocked, especially when bacteria has made its way up towards the uterus and through the surrounding tissues, ovaries and fallopian tubes. After PID, pregnancy is still possible through IVF.

The site also mentions another cause of infertility – PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome. It is a type of hormonal disorder that disrupts the normal ovulation cycle of a woman. Due to this, experiencing an irregularity or inability to ovulate can also lead to infertility issues. More about the problems affecting the fertility of a woman is available at the site.

Through the free mini-course offered at the website, there are a lot of things you can learn. This includes the best foods to eat to become pregnant, the hidden causes of infertility, the reasons why women can’t conceive and steps on how to get pregnant. Overcoming infertility, essential minerals and infertility treatment options are also available through the site.

June 10th, 2010

Over the last 3 years, they have been providing exceptional online copywriting to hundreds of satisfied clients as well as other writing services to the offline community. Until now, they have had a “small enough to care, big enough to deliver” approach to website copywriting, however, recent expansion has enabled Professional Writing Services to deliver high quality custom-written web copywriting on a much larger scale.

Their new motto is “big enough to care, and big enough to deliver again and again and again!”. Owner, Jay Neaves said “Some of our existing clients were initially concerned that the personal, friendly approach that has been the key to our success would change with the expansion, but I think in the last few months we have proven that we will still be delivering our exceptional professional writing services to the web copywriting projects we undertake.”

At Professional Writing Services, exceptional quality and customer service are at the forefront. From clients ordering single custom-written articles, to extensive online copywriting projects, the approach to business is the same. “We have long standing business relationships with most of our customers and it is the quality of the web copywriting we produce and the fact that we take a personal interest in our clients and their business that enables us to do that”, said Jay. “Our sole aim is to meet the online copywriting needs of the client, in a professional and approachable way”.

While web copywriting makes up the bulk of the work undertaken by Professional Writing Services, they are also famed for their excellent letter writing services and incredible ebook writing service. Clients report that Jay could be the next Gary Halbert, “his online copywriting is first class but what makes working with Professional Writing Services such a positive experience is Jay’s ‘can do’ attitude” said Matt Edwards, a US based Internet Marketer, “he has produced some highly effective website copywriting work for me over the last 2 years and his articles are second to none”.

With the expansion of Professional Writing Services, Jay is set to radically shake up to web copywriting business. Not only does he expect that he will double the clients for his own writing services, he feels his service will force other website copywriting services to step up their game and deliver. “The problem in the web copywriting business is that everyone and their dog claims to be an expert. The reality is many of the so-called professional writing services out there offer mediocre work and let their clients down” he said.

There is no question that Professional Writing Services has a formidable reputation among their growing list of loyal clients and for anyone looking for quality online copywriting will be delighted with the level of service and attention to detail they can expect for their money. Web Copywriting is a very specific and challenging area of the online business world and finding a talented website copywriter of such enormous talent is rare.

The success of Professional Writing Services has always been through word-of-mouth and word has certainly started to get around. Jay’s web copywriting work has started to command the attention of some of the leading Internet Marketers and it will not be long before demand for his website copywriting and article writing service is ridiculously high.

It was recently suggested that online copywriting is the one task that most website owners and Internet marketers love to outsource. It is time consuming and difficult to write and it really is no wonder that Professional Writing Services are seeing a vast increase in their enquiries. Fortunately, the recent expansion and forward thinking has enabled Jay to effectively manage the increase in demand for his web copywriting services.
