Recipients use their Segways to attend college, remain on active duty, work in private sector jobs and engage in everday activities with their families.

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) May 14, 2012

Last year the number of military service members who lost limbs in combat in Afghanistan reached an all time high. On May 16th 56 wounded warriors, including 39 amputees, will each be awarded a Segway® PT (Personal Transporter) from Segs4Vets to improve their mobility and independence. The ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. at the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington.

Segs4Vets, ranked as one of America’s best charities and recipient of the prestigious Spirit of Hope Award from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, will present the personal Segways to injured service members at the largest presentation ceremony ever held in Washington. Segs4Vets, a project of Disability Rights Advocates for Technology (DRAFT), is dedicated to helping severely injured service members return to independence and productivity after returning from war.

General Ed Eberhart, USAF (Retired) and Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient Colonel H.C. “Barney’’ Barnum USMC (Retired), Segs4Vets board members, will participate in the presentation which is open to the public.

The recipients include 27 soldiers, 24 Marines, four Airmen and one Air National Guardswoman. Twenty-seven lost one leg, 12 lost two legs and three also lost a hand. The other recipients sustained a range of injuries including extreme orthopedic, soft tissue and spinal cord damage which hinder their ability to walk. The one female recipient, an Air National Guard Sergeant from Massachusetts, lost the sight in one eye and suffered severe nerve damage. Most of the recipients were injured in IED explosions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The wounded warriors come from Colorado, South Dakota, Illinois, New York, Arkansas, Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Maine, New Jersey, Florida, Maryland, California, Missouri, New Hampshire, Delaware, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Tennessee, Indiana, West Virginia, Alaska and Rhode Island as well as Peru, the Philippines and Puerto Rico.

“Although the war is technically winding down, we are seeing greater numbers of the most catastrophic injuries, including multiple amputations and serious genital injuries, among our recipients,’’ said Jerry Kerr, the president and a founder of Segs4Vets. “In the 11th year of war, the American public remains largely isolated from the extraordinary price paid by our military and their families. This is the seventh year of our program and we still have hundreds of severely injured applicants on our waiting list. There has been virtually no let up in demand and we do not expect to see any change in the immediate future.’’

“We are deeply grateful for the service and commitment of the Arlington County Police Department to the Segs4Vets program. These wonderful public servants volunteer their time to make certain that our recipients do not have to wait for a formal presentation ceremony to receive their award. Instead they receive it when they are physically ready, providing the greatest benefit to them and their families. We cannot thank them enough,’’ said Kerr.

A combination of increased foot patrols in the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan and extraordinary improvements in combat medicine contribute to the high number of amputations as well as the high survival rate of the injured service members.

The Segway, a battery powered two wheel mobility device, has found an avid following among the disabled because its universal design allows almost anyone to use it without drawing attention to the disability. Segs4Vets has awarded nearly 1,000 Segways since 2005 and plans to award more than 2,000 more in the next five years. Recipients use their Segways to attend college, remain on active duty, work in private sector jobs, and engage in recreational activities and everyday tasks like shopping with their families. Recipients say the device makes it easier for them to stand longer and travel farther without fatigue and the need of extra pain killers.

About Segs4Vets

Segs4Vets was started in late 2005 by Disability Rights Advocates for Technology, a 501c3 created to represent people with disabilities who refuse to be defined by their disability and whose passionate enthusiasm for participation in life activities is supported by Universal Design and new and emerging technologies. The organization is a member of Military Veterans & Patriotic Service Organizations of America and has been certified as one of the best charities in America by the Independent Charities Seal of Excellence, an honor accorded fewer than 2,000 of the more than one million public charities in the United States.Segs4Vets began as an effort to thank disabled American veterans for their sacrifice and for changing the face of disability in the United States.

Broomfield, Colo., April 30, 2012 —

(PRWEB) May 01, 2012 — Sea to Ski Vacations, a leader in the vacation club industry, is making travel not only easier for their members, but has added a new Travel Rebate Program designed to guarantee the best travel pricing available anywhere on the open market.

Offering over 7,000 world-class resort properties and thousands of cruises around the globe to choose from, Sea to Ski Vacations’ members now have a cash back option in addition to their already discounted pricing. Combining this new rebate program, along with their personalized concierge service, an industry first, makes Sea to Ski the leading choice for both serious and casual travelers. But in spite of the many travel programs already offered by Sea to Ski, company president Stephen Andrews says they are constantly searching for new ways to improve the products and services offered to their members, and the Travel Rebate Program is another ground-breaking addition.

“This program is fairly simple and designed to give our members the best possible net cost when they look to travel. Our new rebate program is in addition to our long standing 110 percent price-match guarantee, which simply put, will give our members the best pricing anywhere in the vacation club industry. We match or beat any publicly advertised price for travel and will now also rebate our members, post travel, a portion of their total trip cost” said Andrews.

According to Andrews, the more Sea to Ski members travel, the more they get paid through this new program, as there is no limit to the amount a member can travel or earn.

“Very simply put, the more you travel, the more you get paid with the Sea to Ski Vacations’ Travel Rebate Program. Rebates can be as high as 18 percent of our members’ total trip cost, for any and all qualifying bookings.”

Not all forms of travel through Sea to Ski are available for the rebate, as condo accommodations in most resort destinations are already deeply discounted for Sea to Ski members. A full 7-night resort condo accommodation begins at only $ 99 for the entire week.

Chino Hills, CA (PRWEB) May 07, 2012

Many fitness professionals are seduced into owning franchise businesses because they like the idea of receiving a step-by-step blueprint for success. However, they soon find that they are not as “in control” as they’d like and the business never really feels like “their own.” Boot Camp Marketing Expert / 20-Year Industry Veteran “7Figure” Sam Bakhtiar is offering a new educational experience to help new boot camp operators run their own show, without joining a franchise.

Sam Bakhtiar thrives off interactions with industry professionals who are hungry for boot camp marketing knowledge and want to take the next step in their careers. “I have a soft spot for people who are in their first five years of owning a fitness studio or boot camp because I remember how hard it was,” Sam recalls. “I wasted a lot of money in those early months and my quality of life suffered because I was working so many hours without a clear plan of attack. I was being thrown around in the washing machine of life until I found a mentor and received some concrete guidance. Now I’m offering that same blueprint to others.”

The Super Trainer Blueprint for boot camp marketing includes the following topics:

    The Psychology of Selling Fitness / KPIs / Strategic Business Growth (Sam Bakhtiar)
    The Four Pillars of Fitness Business Success (Pat Rigsby)
    Awaken The Guru Within (Dax Moy)
    How To Be An Ethical Media Whore (John Spencer Ellis)
    Why Branding Is A Must If You Want To Stand Out (Rocco Castellano)
    Making The Case For Corporate Fitness (Greg Justice)
    The Fortune Is In The Follow-Up (Armando Cruz)
    What Works In 2012 To Get New Training Clients From The Internet (Chris McCombs)
    Advanced Fitness Business Delegation, Outsourcing & The Cloud (Brian Devlin)
    The Road Map To Success (Erik Rokeach)
    Appreciation Marketing & Relationship Domination (Carrie & Alicia)
    How To Build A Marketing Moat Around Your Fitness Business (Neil Venketramen)
    Super Sneaky Marketing Tips & Tricks (Curtis Mock)
    How To Use The Power of Facebook To Build A Massive List On Autopilot (Scott Boulch)
    Customer Journey From Beginning To End (Christian Aguirre)
    How To Get A Piece of the Facebook Pie (Josh Carter)

Not only will boot camp marketing program participants get a full day of masterminding with these industry experts, but they will also receive step-by-step blueprints to take home with them and one-hour conference calls with each speaker to talk about the specifics of their individual businesses.

The reception of Sam Bakhtiar’s boot camp marketing events has been phenomenal! Attendees have called it “game-changing,” “the single-most content-rich event ever attended,” “incredible,” “next-level,” “top-notch,” “heavy-hitting,” “informative,” “priceless,” and even “life-changing.” For more information on this unique program, visit http://www.Super-Trainer.com to find out how you can get started for a $ 1 30-day trial!

GoatMilkStuff.com offers Mother’s Day Gift Packs

Charlestown, IN (PRWEB) May 04, 2012

With a song in their hearts and pampering on their minds, the 8 Jonas children salute their mom PJ Jonas, founder of Goat Milk Stuff, in a video serenade expressing how kids feel on Mother’s Day.

In enchantingly lyrical offers to do chores, online at http://tinyurl.com/cgfjc6m, the kids, aged 4 to 15, sing, “Today is your day so enjoy it all day long; sit back and relax and hear your Mother’s Day song.” Other children can easily learn the tune to sing to their moms or guardians too.

Goat Milk Stuff makes and markets wonderfully soothing all-natural goat milk soaps and other products and has a special array of Mother’s Day gift ideas at its website, http://www.GoatMilkStuff.com. Founded by a mom, PJ, the company knows the importance of pampering moms with soaps they make on the Jonas family’s Indiana farm, where each child helps with age-appropriate chores from milking goats to packing soaps.

The reasonably-priced and luxurious soaps recently featured in Oprah Magazine (tinyurl.com/7tyy8mw) and by the Today Show, bring spa-like pampering to moms at home. The fragrant aroma and silky soft feel of Goat Milk Stuff soaps will make moms feel appreciated and pampered all year long.

Goat Milk Stuff’s Gift Guide (at http://www.tinyurl.com/86lfxso) makes gift selection a breeze as they arrive by two-day Priority Mail. Highlights include:

    Beauty Pack for $ 20 includes 3 half bars of soap, a lotion stick and lip balm;
    Scent Pack at $ 13 has soap in an organza bag and a fragrantly scented soy candle for a Mom’s quietly blissful bath time
    Strawberries & Champagne limited-edition soap at $ 6 has rich lather and delicate scent;
    Twin Pack for $ 13 has a full 5-ounce bar of soap and a lotion stick;
    Gift Box at $ 45 includes a whole package of pampering for Mom with 2 bars of soap, 2 small lotion sticks, 2 lip balms and 2 small bath fizzies.

Since 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson declared Mother’s Day a national holiday to be held the second Sunday of May, it has grown with hugs of appreciation to be America’s third biggest gift-giving occasion after Christmas and Valentine’s Day.

PJ’s husband Jim, Chief Soap Maker (CSM), said, “Mothers are the heart of families and our main customer at GoatMilkStuff.com. On Mother’s Day children honor Moms for their devotion and love and what better way to express that then by pampering Mom each day with all-natural, luxuriously soothing, goat milk soap.”

In addition to GoatMilkStuff.com, the Jonas business maintains an active social media presence with a growing following on Facebook at http://Facebook.com/GoatMilkStuff, at YouTube.com/GoatMilkStuff, at Twitter.com/GoatMilkStuff, and even at Pinterest.com/GoatMilkStuff.

Squaremouth

ST. PETERSBURG, FL (PRWEB) May 01, 2012

Leading travel insurance comparison site Squaremouth.com spotlights top-selling provider Travelex Insurance Services. Travelex led 2011 in overall sales, with 19.86% and ranked 3rd in sales for the first quarter of 2012 with 13.59%.

The travel insurance provider offers accidental death policies, annual travel insurance, and trip cancellation packages. Travelex’s Travel Max was the third best selling plan in 2011 and holds 6th place for 2012. It features 100% Trip Cancellation, 150% Trip Interruption, $ 100,000 Emergency Medical, $ 1,000,000 Medical Evacuation, Hurricane and Weather, Terrorism, Financial Default, Employment Layoff and Pre-existing Condition coverage.

All of Travelex’s Emergency Medical plans have primary coverage, allowing claims to be filed directly with the travel insurance provider, eliminating any involvement of a traveler’s health insurance company.

“Travelers like primary medical insurance because it makes the claims process faster,” says Squaremouth CEO Chris Harvey. “However, it will not provide any better medical care and can sometimes be more expensive.”

Travelex is the only provider on the Squaremouth site that offers All Events Upgrade, which gives travelers the ability to cancel their trips for reasons beyond the typical cancellation coverage. For example, it can protect against an overbooked airline or a cruise or tour operator cancellation. However, it will not cover reasons associated with fear or loss of enjoyment and can raise premiums by almost 50%.

Travelex offers 10 of Squaremouth’s 250+ travel insurance policies and has been sold on the comparison site since 2003. Its underwriters carry at an Excellent rating from AM Best.

As a Squaremouth insurance provider, Travelex complies with Squaremouth’s Zero Complaint Guarantee.

Redwood City, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

MYX TV, the premier Asian American entertainment network in the United States, adds another feather to its cap. Its variety show, MYX-Rated, won the coveted bronze Telly Award for its episode on “Making MYX-Rated: The Documentary,” besting nearly 11,000 entries from 50 states. The network’s first series shot entirely in high definition features everything Asian and awesome from pop culture to music, fashion, and events, and is hosted by comedian Joey Guila and Keiko Alingas.

The award-winning episode gives viewers an in-depth, behind-the scenes look at the creative process of the show’s production. MYX-Rated first premiered on MYX TV in March 2011 and has run for two full seasons. Currently, it airs on Thursday nights at 10pm.

“We started the show because we wanted to introduce something new and cutting edge to the channel,” says Roland Posadas, Producer and Director of MYX-Rated. “I’m especially honored that the documentary episode won a Telly Award because it displayed the hard work and passion that our cast and crew has for making the show – a testament to the vast array of talent that we were able to showcase both behind and in front of the camera.”

MYX-Rated has hosted celebrities such as Far East Movement, Naughty by Nature, DJ Q-Bert, UFC fighter Mark Munoz, The Bangerz, ABDC champions Jabbawockeez and IaMmE, and Justin Beiber’s World Tour vocalists, Legaci. Rising entertainers online David Choi, Ryan Higa, Clara C, Lil’ Crazed, and Erin Paula are no stranger to the show either.

The show has likewise brought on board movie stars like John Cho and Kal Penn for A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, Vanessa Hudgens for Sucker Punch, Vin Diesel and Duane “The Rock” Johnson for Fast 5, and Tom Cruise for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

The Telly Awards was founded in 1979 and is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and online commercials, video and films. Winners represent the best work of the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, television stations, cable operators, and corporate video departments in the world.

“The Telly Awards has a mission to honor the very best in film and video,” said Linda Day, Executive Director of the Telly Awards. “MYX TV’s accomplishment illustrates their creativity, skill, and dedication to their craft and serves as a testament to great film and video production.”

“When we set our goal to redefine Asian American entertainment, we understood that we were going set the standard for excellence in our field,” said Miguel Santos, Associate General Manager for MYX TV. “Our team continues to do just that and wave our community’s flag with pride.”

Hking above a glacier with Park Ranger

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 24, 2012

Holding more Glacier Bay National Park entry days than any other cruise line, un-cruise adventure operator InnerSea Discoveries and American Safari Cruises offer guests two or three days of in-depth exploration inside the Park throughout summer 2012.

Designated as a Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Glacier Bay is a wilderness sanctuary with tidewater glaciers, deep fjords, towering mountains and a variety of wildlife including whales, seals, sea lions, bears, mountain goats, sea birds, sea otters and moose.

From May through August, four yachts of American Safari Cruises offer luxury adventures sailing 57 weeklong Alaska cruises roundtrip Juneau with two days spent inside Glacier Bay: 12-guest Safari Spirit, 22-guest Safari Quest, 36-guest Safari Explorer, 86-guest Safari Endeavour (new in 2012). Longer 15-day cruises between Seattle and Juneau (and reverse) are offered in spring and fall and also include a two-day exploration inside the Park.

From June through August, the 76-guest Wilderness Explorer, an InnerSea Discoveries expedition vessel joining the fleet in spring 2012, sails 12 weeklong active adventure cruises between Juneau and Sitka, Alaska (and reverse). The itinerary includes three full days exploring inside Glacier Bay National Park including the lesser visited but equally spectacular East Arm with McBride Glacier and Muir Glacier. An innovative human-powered watercraft—a new amenity only aboard this vessel–may be taken out for low-impact, up-close exploration powered by two peddlers and up to six paddlers.

“We’ve been operating our yachts on extended explorations inside the Park for 15 years and many of our captains have even longer histories of experience there,” said Captain Dan Blanchard, principal and CEO. “This summer, a new human-powered watercraft aboard the Wilderness Explorer will allow guests to explore inlets inside the park that are closed to motorized traffic.”

Unlike most guests aboard cruise ships or tour boats, guests enjoying Alaska un-cruise adventures with InnerSea Discoveries and American Safari Cruises have the privilege of disembarking the boat to go hiking ashore, exploring via a small inflatable boat or kayaking—all accompanied by a National Park Ranger and shipboard expedition guides.

A Park Ranger boards each boat at the park entrance and stays on board for the full two or three days overnighting on the boat (except for the 12-guest Safari Spirit). The Ranger takes the lead on narration and interpretation of the park’s history, native culture of the Hoonah Tlingit, geology, flora and fauna.

To book an un-cruise adventure or to request additional information, contact your travel agent or InnerSea Discoveries at 877-901-1009 or sales(at)innerseadiscoveries(dot)com.

Steve DeAngelo

Oakland, CA (PRWEB) April 18, 2012

Despite a rash of high profile raids by the federal government, medical cannabis patients and activists are gearing up to celebrate 4/20, International Cannabis Day. Celebratory events around the nation are expected to have a decidedly political flavor this year in response to escalating tension between the federal government and patients rights activists.

In the East Bay, which just witnessed the federal government’s armed raid of the nation’s premier marijuana growing school, Oaksterdam University, at the same time seven people lost their lives to gun violence less than a mile away, many are looking to medical cannabis leaders like Steve DeAngelo for insights and inspiration. DeAngelo has announced two days of public appearances on April 20th and 21st.

“The armed raid of peaceful Oaksterdam University epitomized the current misallocation of law enforcement resources, but it also galvanized California’s medical cannabis community,” said DeAngelo. “Its proximity to the 420 Holiday is perhaps fortunate, as the celebratory events around the nation are an opportunity to unite and begin to take action.”

Fresh off speaking engagements at Ann Arbor, Michigan’s ‘Hash Bash’ on April 6th and the University of Maryland Law School last weekend, DeAngelo is scheduled for an interview that will air as part of an NBC Bay Area News update on the state of the industry in Oakland.

DeAngelo is also scheduled for multiple 4/20 appearances and will host presentations and participate in several panels at the Second Annual Deep Green Festival, which will be held on April 21st at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, California. His 4/20 schedule includes:

April 20, 2012 – Harborside Health Center (Oakland & San Jose)

11:00 am to 2:00 pm–San Jose Harborside Health Center – Meet & Greet the Patients:

4:00 to 6:00 pm——–Oakland Harborside Health Center – Meet & Greet the Patients

April 20, 2012 – Deep Green Festival (Richmond)

2:30 to 3:30 pm———The Legalization Equation: Charting the Path Forward Panel

5:00 – 5:45 pm———-The Future of Medical Cannabis & Politics

7:30 – 7:50 pm———–“Weed Wars” Clips & Discussion with Andrew DeAngelo

DeAngelo is a cannabis movement strategist and lifelong activist. A summa cum laude graduate of the University of Maryland, DeAngelo’s accomplishments include organizing I- 59, Washington DCs medical cannabis initiative, Hemp Tour, which brought hemp to the heartland, and Ecolution, Inc., which produced hemp garments and accessories from 1990 to 2000.

DeAngelo was a founding member of Americans for Safe Access (ASA) and founded Harborside Health Center, where he presides as Executive Director. He writes and speaks on the subject of cannabis and Harborside, which many feel is the world’s model for medical cannabis dispensaries, and has appeared in national and international news media including the New York Times; CNN; Washington Post and Fortune Magazine.
