11th Southern Africa Energy Week 2010

/EIN Presswire/ Our 11th Southern African Energy Conference 2010 takes place over 8-10 February 2010, at the Sandton Sun Hotel, Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Southern Africa Energy Week, includes Presentations from senior executives from key Governments, Companies and National Oil Companies.

Our 11th Southern African Energy Conference 2010 provides a timely, in-depth management assessment for decision-makers on these key strategic shifts that will impact all  Governments, companies, investors, financiers, and service/supply industries within Africa's most energy-critical region. 

The large and growing Southern African oil, gas and energy/coal complex - including future fuels in the form of additional Gas-to Liquids, Coal-Bed Methane and CTL, eventual LNG, biofuels, ethanol and renewables - has created a larger and more integrated market to underpin economic growth and future development. This new and dynamic shape to energy supply complements existing upstream capacity in offshore oil, onshore gas, pipeline networks for crude and product, plus limited nuclear energy, as well as synfuels generated by established producers. In many Southern African countries exploration and development ventures in oil/gas are moving forward and upstream projects are higher on the corporate agenda, with new acreage leasing, and drilling, plus targets such as heavy oil development based on large proven reserves.

<title>Search Engine Marketing Survey for Brands &amp; Marketers, With Search Audit Offer from Reform</title>

<description>
/ EIN Presswire / UK and US based search marketing consultancy Reform have released a survey that will canvas the opinions of hundreds of brands on areas such as agency and technology satisfaction, investment and overall strategy.

Search as a marketing channel has come a long way in a short period of time; however, despite the exponential growth, Search is still a relatively immature marketing services industry and there are growing pains and frustrations: poor agency service levels, inefficiencies and data ownership, to name a few.

The Reform search survey results will be published in the new year and will help brands to make more informed purchasing decisions in search moving forwards, and to answer key questions such as whether they are the right kind of company that can take Search in-house, what strategies to undertake, what technologies and tools to license, how to secure ownership of performance data, and how to create efficiencies in the Pay Per Click (PPC) and Search engine optimisation (SEO) management process.

And, as an added incentive to take part in the survey, Reform will have a prize draw for those that participate - the winning brand will receive a detailed strategic search audit from Reform, worth £5,000.

The survey is open to any websites that run search engine marketing (whether Pay Per Click or Search Engine Optimisation) in-house, search marketing budget owners or search marketing services buyers, and only requires 15 minutes out of their busy schedule. 

More information about the survey, and the survey itself is available at http://www.reformdigital.com/research

Under the agreement, IAOP will regularly contribute surveys, studies and other significant information and Nearshore Americas will cover IAOP events in these regions.

IAOP also has established media alliance partnerships with information providers in other parts of the world, including outsource magazine in Europe; Great-Idea Business Resources Company Ltd. and The Intelligent Outsourcer in Asia; and FORTUNE(R) Custom Projects, to serve its global members, who are outsourcing providers, customers and advisors.

OCEANS TWELVE 
AWARD-WINNING PHOTOGRAPHERS SUPPORT MARINE ENVIRONMENT


/EIN Presswire/ Few people are better qualified to inspire the protection of the oceans than the world's finest underwater photographers and that's why the UK's pioneering shark and marine conservation organisation, Bite-Back, turned to them for help.  

The result is a remarkable 2010 calendar that combines stunning images and arresting commentary that, Bite-Back, hopes will help motivate a sea-change in attitude for the marine world.

The unique collaboration features breathtaking images of sharks, turtles, rays, eels and whales from 12 internationally acclaimed and award-winning photographers such as David Doubilet, Amos Nachoum, Doug Perrine, Jeff Rotman, Brian Skerry and Michael Aw.
Enthused by Bite-Back's ongoing campaigns to combat over-fishing, coral degradation and marine pollution, the photographers chose favourite images from different corners of the globe including the coastal waters of Hawaii, Tonga, Bahamas, Guadalupe, West Papau, South Africa and Borneo. 

Hinting at the urgent need for marine conservation to capture the imagination of the developed world, Jeff Rotman said: &quot;Since the early 1970s I have become a witness to our ever increasing race to empty the oceans.  Now, almost 40 years later, we find ourselves in a dangerous situation.  We have fished to the point where marine stocks can no longer maintain a reproductive population.  In my opinion, it's way past midnight.&quot; 

The project has enormous significance to the marine conservation group, Bite-Back.  

Its campaign director, Graham Buckingham, said: &quot;Over-fishing is the single biggest threat to the marine environment.  By highlighting the issues of over-fishing we're creating a dialogue with supermarkets, restaurants, chefs and fishmongers to motivate responsible sourcing and ethical retailing.  Our goal is simple - to change the nation's commercial relationship with the marine environment.&quot;

It is a view that is echoed by calendar contributor and underwater cameraman for BBC's Life series, Roger Munns.  He said: &quot;The oceans are a magical place full of beauty and surprises, but now they are under serious threat as human populations continue to grow and destroy the marine environment in pursuit of its many resources.&quot;

Since its launch Bite-Back has motivated supermarkets including ASDA, Sainsbury's, Somerfield, Tesco and Waitrose to drop certain threatened species such as shark, swordfish, marlin, monkfish and orange roughy.  Its campaigns have also seen Holland &amp; Barratt stop selling shark cartilage capsules and the world's only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant, Hakkasan, stop selling shark fin soup.

Graham Buckingham said: &quot;Bite-Back's ambition to defend the high seas by changing the high street is working and soon there will come a time when we'll look back in shame that these fish ever appeared on supermarket shelves or restaurant menus.&quot;

Bite-Back's 2010 calendar can be ordered online for just £7.99 (+ p&amp;p) via http://www.bite-back.com 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

Notes to editors
All images in the Bite-Back 2010 calendar can be supplied as high resolution files

/ EIN Presswire / Congratulations to the thousands of participants who made the world's largest intention healing project a success! On November 8, 2009 we collectively created a shift by sending our intentions! 

Adam DreamHealer put his reputation on the line when he planned this very ambitious research project. He was elated that over 10,000 worldwide confirmed their participation in the world's largest intention heals project.  Since 2003 he has held large group healing sessions where the collective intention of the group creates the ideal environment for healing. His visualizations are powerful tools that help to focus intentions and this has helped thousands of people accelerate their own healing. Over the years many people have joined in these healing sessions remotely from around the world. Every one of us has the innate capacity to heal ourselves and these group energy treatments provide an experience to help awaken the healer within all of us.

In this project, Adam did not do his trademark trance healing, but instead joined
the 700 people at the Vancouver workshop in sending specific intentions to the volunteer, Christine. Thousands of participants worldwide joined in, all sending specific intentions to Christine, who was unaware of when this would occur, and was monitored by an EEG.

As Adam emphasizes in his four international bestselling books, our intentions and thoughts influence our health. Many who attend Adam's workshops do not need the science to convince them of what they already know to be true. However Adam being a scientifically minded person feels that it is important to have more scientific studies on this topic. Adam wants to integrate the use of our intentions into all modalities of healing, including allopathic medicine. This requires more scientific research, which Adam is proving to be a very achievable goal. 

The primary goal of the Global Intention Heals Project is to further understand the influence of group intention on human physiology. At a specific time Adam instructed all participants to focus their intentions on influencing Christine's brainwaves. Adam had created a video clip of a specific visualization to be used by all participants, which included her photograph and some personal details about her. The visualization consisted of lightning bolts hitting the top of Christine's head and creating activity in her brain. After the intention interval the participants were all instructed to stop thinking about Christine. Here is a summary of the research findings.
***
The study was conducted by Dr. Sheldon Lewkis R.Psych, research coordinator,  Data processing and interpretation: Jay Gunkelman of Q-Pro and Neurophysiology Technologist: Ted Rennie .

&quot;EEG was recorded during several baseline conditions and during a ten minute (eyes closed) intention interval in which many thousands of participants (close to ten thousand are confirmed) throughout the world were instructed to stimulate activity in the subject's brain using a visualizing of lightning bolts passing through the subject's brain and moving down through their body towards the feet and into the ground or a visualization of their own choice; with this group intention being mediated by Adam.  The subject was unaware when her EEG was recorded for the intention interval.  The data was edited and analyzed with blinding as to which EEG records represented baselines and which represented the intervention interval.  During all phases of EEG recording the subject was physically and in terms of electronic communication devices remote from Adam and all participants sending intentions in the study.

 Several intriguing differences have been found in comparing quantitative EEG results between the eyes closed baseline recording period and the eyes closed intention interval.  These differences are summarized as follows:
A very dense hyper-coherence that appears throughout the entire network of electrodes in the 11 to 12 Hz range in the baseline recording is not present in the intention interval recording.  Coherence refers to connectivity between different parts of the brain as is derived by examining the extent to which waveforms of similar shape are present at different locations at the same time.  Hyper-coherence is an excessive coupling of different brain areas suggesting that the sites are doing too much of the same thing at the same time; it represents an inefficiency in brain function of the nature of inadequate differentiation of function.  During the sending of intentions this hyper-coherence is not evident. 

The intention interval recording displays bursts of rhythmic activity in the 7.5 to 8 Hz range with associated harmonics (waves at mathematical multiples of the primary frequency) and nested rhythms (the modulation of one frequency by another, even in the absence of a mathematical harmonic per se) expressed in short periods of peaking energy at a number of electrode sites, with the primary frequency of the harmonics being 7.81 Hz. 

This phenomenon, which emerges from what is referred to as a bispectral analysis, is not present in the baseline condition. The bursts of activity with associated harmonic frequencies and nested rhythms as cross spectral couplings that were found in the intention interval is consistent with what are referred to as Schumann Resonance. This is an extremely intriguing finding as the Schumann Resonance and it's harmonics have previously been hypothesized as being an aspect of the connectivity dynamic underlying remote or distant healing (Hendricks, Gunkelman and Bengston, in press, Journal of Scientific Exploration) and are also associated with the earth's electromagnetic field as resonated by lightning strikes.

The researchers are now considering writing a paper based on these findings to be submitted to a peer reviewed scientific journal.&quot;
***
How fascinating it was that the 7.5 to 8 Hz primary frequency of harmonics noted in the EEG at the time when participants sent intentions using lightning bolt visualizations is similar to actual lightning bolts. Participants created in the volunteer's brainwaves the same frequency as their visualized intention. Amazing!  

Adam plans to hold further Global Intention Heals Projects at his upcoming events, in addition to his two group healing sessions. Participants in the November 8 Vancouver workshop, noticed the second healing session was even more profound after participating in the GIHP. We also received many similar reports from participants sending intentions to our volunteer who were geographically further away. This project was only possible with the participation of so many open-minded people. Thanks for your participation as we anticipate many more projects with even more astounding results! 

Christine's Comments

I am shaking in my boots! I am so excited about the results, and I was sure there would be a change in the brainwaves. It was such a profound change from my usually so busy brain to a calm coherent wave movement. I wonder if the what I called &quot;stardust&quot; like particles at the beginning were connected to the &quot;lightning bolts&quot; visualization that was happening without my knowledge. Interesting to find out about my hyper active brain, not that I was not aware of this. 

Anyway, please release this information, it is fascinating and makes my heart soar with pride that Adam can scientifically prove that our intentions play a role in our healing. I want to thank all of you so much for this opportunity and want to offer my complete support in terms of any assistance or questions that anyone might have. I am in total awe of the magnitude of this GIHP project.
Thanks, Christine

BusinessWeek names Tinley Park, Ill., 'Best Place in America to Raise Kids'

  

Tinley Park, Illinois. November 20, 2009 -- Tinley Park, Illinois, has been named the Best Place in America to Raise Kids by BusinessWeek magazine, a prestigious national honor announced Tuesday on the publication's Web site.

Of the 800 communities across the nation analyzed by the magazine, Tinley Park garnered the highest scores in factors important to families with children. &quot;Of course, we've known for years that our Village is a great place for families—a wonderful town in which to live, work, play and raise children—but it's exciting that our Village is recognized now by a national and highly respected magazine that specializes in understanding what makes a place highly livable and special,&quot; said Mayor Ed Zabrocki.

This is the fourth year that the publication has researched towns across the country, analyzing such factors as school performance, affordability, safety, cost of living, air quality, job growth, racial diversity and accessibility to local parks, ball fields, zoos, recreation centers, museums and theaters.

The researchers gave Tinley Park the highest scores for its &quot;top-rated schools, low crime, beautiful parks, relatively affordable houses, and easy access to jobs,&quot; according to the announcement posted on the magazine's Web site at http://tinyurl.com/yjg2nql.  The announcement also noted Tinley Park's &quot;family-friendly atmosphere.&quot;

&quot;Honors like this one are always appreciated,&quot; said Mayor Zabrocki, &quot;but we don't just rest on our laurels. We're always looking for new ways to continue enhancing the quality of life for our residents.&quot;

Tinley Park award

The Village of Tinley Park, located approximately 25 miles southwest of Chicago with approximately 60,000 residents, has been the recipient of numerous awards in recent years from professional organizations, honoring such things as its economic development program, crime prevention efforts, public art projects and public building architecture.

The selections were limited to towns that have at least 45,000 residents and a median income of between $40,000 and $125,000. Affordability, safety and school test scores were given the greatest weight. Based on top scores, an overall national winner is determined.

Gifts of &quot;Comfort and Joy&quot; Ideas from Pioneer Linens - Gifts to warm the heart and spirit

West Palm Beach, Florida — You need not spend a fortune to feel comfortable or joyful this holiday season!

At Pioneer Linens, the leading fine linens retailer in West Palm Beach, &quot;Comfort &amp; Joy&quot; is really seen as linens which pleases the senses, meaning bedding, bath accessories and more that are easy to find, and sure to warm hearts.

The best translation of comfort is the Italian woven, 1020-thread count, Egyptian cotton sateen Amante Bed Linens collection by SFERRA, finished with hand-drawn hemstitching.

When it comes to an amazing night's sleep, everyone agrees down comforter and pillows are a must. The St. Petersburg Comforter (http://www.pioneerlinens.com/scandia) is crafted from the finest Siberian down and covered in superior German silk Damask. With a fill power of 850 - 900 Siberian white goose down, this supreme comfort is the ultimate refinement for the bed.

The Didactic Poems and Songs of Christopher Rudolph

Hawthorne, CA, -  Christopher Rudolph, a Language Arts and Social Studies teacher, is sharing his didactic songs, poems, raps, and chants that teach about English grammar, history, math, and test taking skills.

He has been using these effectively to raise his own student's test scores. For many students, learning grammar is totally boring. Teaching it can be a frustrating experience. &quot;Why is it that so many of our students can't even conjugate the verb To Be?&quot; asked Christopher. &quot;I figured, if we keep doing the same thing we are going to just keep getting the same results,&quot; he said. &quot;I need to think outside the box, and do something different.&quot; So, he came up with a rap song called &quot;The Verb To Be Rap.&quot;

He introduced it to the class, and it quickly caught on. The students found themselves singing it over and over in their minds. It didn't take long before all of them had mastered the verb To Be. Conjugating it became easy for them. Soon, Christopher was coming up with other poems, songs and raps like &quot;Prepositions in Time and Space&quot;, &quot;The Adjective Blues&quot;, and &quot;8 Parts of Speech Voyage.&quot; The students were learning faster than ever before. &quot;The progress my students have been making is nothing less than amazing,&quot; he said. Other teachers took note and began to use them in their classes as well. Christopher's latest rap song is aimed at improving student's test scores. It is called &quot;Trap N Rap It&quot; which is also the name of his Reading Comprehension Test Taking Strategy that he recently created. &quot;With so much riding on student's test scores on exams like the California Standards Test, we need every advantage we can get,&quot; he said. So far, the results have been extremely promising.

His students are remembering the strategy and using it to boost their test scores. His students have made tremendous improvement on benchmark tests that try to prepare them for the CST. &quot;There is no stopping them now,&quot; he said. For more information visit http://www.RhymeRocker.com

<title>Anabiosis is a proven reality! Long-awaited CD is accessible now!</title>

/EIN Presswire / As always, the discovery was accidental. But is there really such a thing as coincidence? 
Anabiosis was reflected in a musical project - one that was planned from time immemorial, 
and perhaps before the Big Bang. This irresistible music crystallized in an avalanche of sound, 
splendidly well ordered, successive and unpredictable. This time the starry skies have smiled 
upon an ordinary dreamer, and he couldn't stand this pressure or remain silent and now must act!

By using technocratic electronic-mechanical devices, Starded has sounded pictures of the unimaginable. 
He revealed his thoughts and feelings to people by using a language all people can understand -music. 
The results of this self experiment can be found in the album Anabiosis.

The main idea of the Anabiosis is not the focus on anabiosis itself, but rather journeys to a far away 
world, and meditation upon cosmic space ... and upon the earth itself from the point of view of the black 
abyss. Starded has tried to create in sound his own view of the past, present and future. He has revealed 
his own feelings about Creation. And what Starded wanted to express he managed to. This was the first time 
he'd had his &quot;electronic experience&quot;, and it turned out to be fantastic.

Anabiosis, as fancied by Starded, is a certain condition of existence, rather unpleasant. However, many 
life forms got used to it without harm long ago. For a human being this way of existence, even temporarily, 
is very complicated. Therefore music about this subject is extremely eloquent: visions people sometimes get 
in anabiosis excite and carry them to the very edge of the universe, the place you have never planned 
to go to ... but will these visions return our consciousness back?

Modern research has proven the ability of controlling the condition when the vital activity of an organism 
falls drastically. This concerns both animals and humans. Consequently, travel through deep space may come 
true - to the planets of the solar system and beyond.
