The traditional way of learning has started to go through some major reforms. This is happening both in the field of education and in enterprises. Instead of traditional course based learning where users are memorizing ready-given information, today more emphasis is put on finding, understanding and applying information in practice in real world scenarios.

Phenomenon-based learning

The education system in Finland is said to be one of the best in the world. Yet, last week, e.g. Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/28/finland-education-overhaul_n_6958786.html) and Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/finland-schools-subjects-are-out-and-topics-are-in-as-country-reforms-its-education-system-10123911.html) wrote about the upcoming educational changes in Finland. Then what is it that has resulted in this transition? The changes are related to a phenomenon-based learning, which as a topic has raised a lot of global discussion recently.

The ideology of phenomenon-based learning is to bring learning and teaching closer to practice, rather than focusing on single, disconnected subjects that do not relate to everyday life, or to each other, at all. In the phenomenon-based learning the learners are taught broader topics instead of subjects. The topics can be related to any real life events, which may help the learner in applying the novel know-how better in modern society.

Phenomenon-based learning in online education and learning

Arcusys is at the forefront of applying the phenomenon-based learning in online education. Valamis offers a platform for phenomenon-based learning in online learning and implements it into a modular and flexible environment using Experience API (xAPI) and Learning Record Store (LRS). In Valamis, the learners approach learning in a form of a story, which is related to real life working scenarios. While going through the story, the learners themselves do not necessarily recognize which subject each topic of the story is covering. They can e.g. cover subjects such as physics, mathematics and finance within a form of a story about buying a car.

In Valamis the learners are not given any particular order for approaching the phenomenon-based learning story. In stead, the learners can proceed in the story depending on which order they find the most interesting for themselves. Always when the learners finish a task, they receive an automated evaluation as well as an evaluation from their teacher. Also, the learners are given a chance for self-evaluation. All the data is saved into a Learning Record Store and the final feedback is formed on the basis of all the recorded data.

Measuring impact of phenomenon-based learning

Receiving constructive feedback is a crucial part of learning and development process. Without feedback it is impossible to process and evaluate what has been learned. At the moment, one of the major issues with the phenomenon-based learning is the difficulty of receiving trustworthy analytics of the learning processes. Valamis offers powerful Learning Analytics engine for phenomenon-based learning using the Valamis Learning Record Store. The analytics engine provides a special advantage, e.g. when evaluating which sections of the studies should be improved or in which areas particularly the learners need more guidance.

Experience API allows tracking the atomic learner experiences and interactions into Learning Record Store. Phenomenon-based learning model creates a structure and solid foundation for this information. The Experience API gives organizations powerful tools for analyzing impact of learning and organization capabilities. By combining xAPI with Valamis, it is possible to receive accurate analytics of the phenomenon-based learning process of individuals as well as of the group of learners. The analytics are in a form of an exquisite concept map, which enables the visual analysis of the learning challenges. The received analytics imply clearly which parts of the study content needs to be improved for future learners.

Vital Science Labs Unveiled Herbal Weight Loss Medicine Caralluma Platinum through Amazon

Vital Science Labs, a California based pharmaceutical research institution, recently unveiled Caralluma Platinum, a zero-side effect sleeping pill that is now available through Amazon.

Caralluma Platinum, a revolutionary medicine made out of Caralluma Fimbriata extracts, was recently launched by Vital Science Labs. The pharmacists told the press that their weight loss medicine is composed of eight weight loss ingredients, including Caralluma. They said that apart from the main ingredient Caralluma, the medicine also has white kidney beans, green tea extracts, African mango extracts, green coffee beans, raspberry ketone, forskolin and garcinia cambogia as its key ingredients.  

According to Vital Science Labs, Caralluma Fimbriata prevents the activities of certain enzymes that produce strong fat. This way, the user can easily burn off the extra fat and get a slimmer body. The lab researchers have also claimed that the product is completely natural hence completely safe for its consumers. They further added that the medicine comes with zero additives, zero artificial preservatives, fillers or colours. They have underscored the fact that Caralluma Fimbriata dr oz has got five-star ratings on Amazon and has received rave reviews from people who have already bought it.

“We chose Amazon to launch our Caralluma weight loss product as it is to date one of the most popular ecommerce sites across the world. Since we did not want to confine our market within the US borders, we thought we should spread our brand name and our products further afield. As Amazon enjoys heavy traffic, we feel that this is the best place to promote Caralluma Fimbriata weight loss pill and other weight loss products that we have. Truly speaking, the appetite suppressant premium formula that we have used is quite groundbreaking. The fat burning pill is also a natural carb blocker, which is one reason why so many people who were dying to know how to lose weight in a natural way have already chosen it,” said the research team head of Vital Science Labs. 

Vital Science Labs, an NSF accredited pharmaceutical lab, have their research and manufacturing facilities in Florida, USA. “We have always ensured that our Caralluma Fimbriata weight loss products are made in compliance with NSF and cGMP standards. On today’s date, we have 60 different weight loss products that are sold in large numbers every month. So, if anyone wishes to know how to lose weight fast, we probably have the right answer for it,” said a senior marketing executive.

Vital Science Labs is a brand of Mercurial Goods Inc. The company is into pharmaceutical research and manufacturing.

ArKay Beverages introduces a tasting kit for $1 a shot

MELBOURNE, FL – Sep 8, 2015 – Fall sales at ArKay Beverages of Melbourne, Florida, may get some extra juice with their push to sell shots of ArKay alcohol-free liquors at just $1 each.

ArKay is attracting new customers by inviting them to try ArKay tasting shots for $1, before spending $25.00 on the one liter version.

The $1 shot price is for the 1.7 fl oz bottles sold in a tasting kit containing 15 miniatures. “We believe that $1.00 is the magic price that our consumers would like to pay to taste ArKay before deciding to go for the bigger size,” says Angel David, VP of Sales.

ArKay believes the promotion will attract customers who want to get away from liquors but still have fun, and will lure them away from other soft drink and liquor companies. These additional customers will enable ArKay to introduce a new line-up of alcohol-free liquors including: whisky, brandy, vodka, rum, peppermint, orange napoleon, mojito, and a new collection of 20 alcohol-free, flavored vodkas.

This play will pay off because consumers who try ArKay for $1.00 and like it, will then come back and buy the 33 fl oz bottle.

ArKay will extend this promotion worldwide where their presence as a major drinks player is already being felt. ArKay is currently distributed in 35 countries which include most of Europe together with South Africa, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and USA.

“With this $1 offer for an ArKay tasting shot, the sky’s the limit. It will enable ArKay to make an impact on households across the world,” said Angel David.

To order our tasting kits, please contact your distributor or ArKay® sales representative at 855 416 2565.  The ship date is November 2.

About ArKay Beverages:

ArKay offers an extended collection of beverages including alcohol-free liquors, alcohol-free cocktails, and alcohol-free beers which are sold in glass bottles, aluminum cans, and on draft.

ArKay feels and tastes exactly like liquor. Millions of people drink ArKay every day because it has the same burn and flavor as the real thing but without any of the ill effects. ArKay is a healthy option too. Besides being 100% alcohol-free, it contains no fat, carbs, sodium or sugar.

ArKay has done with spirits what other companies did for beer but to an even greater extent. ArKay has invented a completely new beverage category of alcohol-free liquors. Unlike with alcohol, ArKay isn’t constrained by strict market regulations, therefore allowing it to be sold virtually anywhere.

Lifestylehouse introduces MBS Modular Building System at Cityscape Global Dubai 2015

Cityscape Global Dubai 2015 – Lifestylehouse, one of the leading designers and constructors of modern contemporary homes presents their selection of cutting edge modern villas, together with their proprietory modular building system, at Cityscape Global Dubai.

With headquarters in the Netherlands and regional offices in Marbella, Spain as well as offices soon to open on the Island of Ibiza, Lifestylehouse is building on their success and rapidly expanding worldwide.

In September 2015, Lifestylehouse will be presenting at Cityscape Global in Dubai both their selection of beautifully designed and engineered modern villas, as well as their innovative modular building system.

Cityscape Global is one of the key annual events in the Middle East for real estate professionals.

Lifestylehouse is the brainchild of Erik Vasbinder & Ton Van den Bosch. The modular building system allows turnkey homes to be completed in record time, without sacrificing quality or engineering perfection.

The system is designed with scalability in mind and is ideal for both individuals looking to own the perfect modern home as well as developers and other real estate professionals looking to build multi-unit developments.

The core to the success of Lifestylehouse is a combination of advanced engineering techniques, materials and systems together with an attention to detail and harmony at the design stage that work together to create contemporary villas that are both aesthetically beautiful and perfectly engineered.

By using MBS, Lifestylehouse’s proprietary modular building system, and creating a meticulously planned blueprint for the complete villa prior to construction, the entire home, together with its fittings and fixtures, are manufactured in advance.

MBS is based on SISMO® building technology.
 
The benefits of constructing a modern design villa with the Lifestylehouse modular building system are endless, as the entire building kit can be delivered anywhere in the world by sea container, and ready for assembly on-site.

The entire wall structure consists of lightweight steel reinforced blocks that are easy to transport and fast to install. This provides substantial costs savings, as an entire villa can be completed, turnkey, within 7 to 10 months. These savings are passed onto the owner allowing the use of higher quality materials for the same end cost.

Furthermore, the system allows for modern design villas to be constructed with exceptional structural integrity, whilst at the same time allowing for greater creativity at the design and planning stage in line with contemporary design requirements.

Sustainability is also a core feature. A Lifestylehouse modern villa is engineered to use resources in the most cost-efficient and environmentally friendly way, both during the construction phase as well as for the long-term durability and longevity of the finished construction.

Both SISMO® building technology as well as Lifestylehouse MBS comply with the sustainability requirements for the United Arab Emirates, in particular the “Estimada Certification”.

The modular building system is extremely versatile as well as scalable – given the modular nature of the system complete building kits for multi-unit developments can be supplied with the same ease as individual units.

For more information on Lifestylehouse modern villas, as well as the innovative MBS – Modular Building System, the company will be present at the Cityscape Global in Dubai from the 8th -10th of September 2015.

September Is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Funding For Childhood Cancers Below Par

$
0

Pediatric cancers kill more children each year than many other diseases combined. Yet it is underfunded compared to other cancers. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Help support increased funding for Childhood Cancers.

As a society, people tend to focus on things that are out of the norm, trends or large numbers of something. The most or largest of something tends to get a lot of attention. Ironically, there is a statistic that should get a lot of attention, but does not: Worldwide, nearly 250 children die from pediatric cancer every single day.

Cancer is the number one disease that kills children. It is the second leading killer of children, second only to accidents. Pediatric cancers kill more kids each year than asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. In America over 15,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year.  However, when it comes to funding for research or clinical trials, childhood cancers rank near the bottom. A few years ago the National Cancer Institute gave merely $26 million for clinical trials and research of pediatric cancers, as opposed to $254 million for AIDS related cancers and $584 million for breast cancer.

Breast cancer survivors have done an excellent job with awareness and marketing. There are many foundations, walks, runs, colleges and the NFL who have joined the efforts to help find a cure. Their reach has gone as far as high school sports teams and elementary schools that are in on this massive marketing effort.

“It is a bit strange to me that high school and elementary students are talking about breast cancer,” said Stephen Havertz, LCSW, Grief Counselor and author of the new book, Dragonfly Wings for Emmalee. “Children should be focused on issues that are more age specific. I get it. Breast cancer affects the whole family and there are teachers or PTA members who are passionate about breast cancer, but maybe it is time for a shift in focus.”

It seems that many foundations and charities these days are spending more money on administrative costs than actual research or clinical trials. When a CEO of a foundation makes over $2 million, it warrants investigation as to where the funds are really being spent.  According to a Huffington Post article dated May 19, 2015, four charitable organizations were under investigation for misleading donors and stealing nearly $200 million. These four charities are the Cancer Fund of America, Cancer Support Services Inc., Children’s Cancer Fund of America and The Breast Cancer Society Inc.

Last week in the news, the nation saw the tragic images of a young refugee boy’s body being pulled out of the ocean on a Turkish beach by a police officer. As heart-breaking as it was to see, this scene plays out over and over every single day in hospitals or homes as parents and families watch their children die from this horrible disease.

In 2009, Stephen Havertz lived out a nightmare as he sat helplessly on the sofa in his home as his little 9-year-old daughter, Emmalee, took her last breath. The year prior to that, he and his wife watched Emmalee go through multiple rounds of chemo therapy, emergency surgery resulting from the chemo eating holes in her intestines, long hospital stays, countless visits to the doctor and other horrors.  His story is outlined in his new book entitled, Dragonfly Wings for Emmalee.

The book, Dragonfly Wings for Emmalee, is much more than just a synopsis of her life and death. It is a combination of storytelling and therapy.  “I am a mental health therapist and I add my personal and professional insights into this disease process, along with grief and loss issues in the book,” says Havertz. “People who read it find it healing.”

“Children who have cancer, and families who have suffered along with them, need to know that we don’t just talk about this disease with tenuous strained speech. We need to be shouting on our housetops that we demand a cure. We need to demand that instead of spending millions on political campaigns we should be funneling that money into finding a cure for pediatric cancers. If we had taken pediatric cancers seriously 20 years ago my Emmalee might still be alive. We have eradicated polio, measles and many other diseases. It is time to get rid of cancer,” proclaimed Havertz.

It is time to make childhood cancers a bigger priority.  Spending on childhood cancers must increase from the measly $26 million.  “We plead with all of those people who care about children to make their voices heard.  Please contact your local representatives and ask that they make pediatric cancers a top priority,” stated Havertz. “After all, children are the future of this great nation. They deserve more.”

Solidarity Financial Network is a Social Platform that Supports the Development of Sustainable Enterprises for the Poor in Latin America

09 Sep, 2015 – In South America, almost 70 percent – or almost 350 million – of the population live below the poverty line. Many of the impoverished are eager to work hard and transform their knowledge of local business into profitable enterprises, but lack the knowledge and resources to establish a business.  A new social network called Solidarity Financial Network will enable these entrepreneurs to learn from similar business people and secure micro-loans and other types of funding from investors.  With the right support, millions of Latin Americans could rise out of poverty and help their nation reach its full potential.

The Solidarity Financial Network was proposed by Hector Fiallo, a successful entrepreneur and scientist with a PhD in Solid State Science.  Hector understands the power of knowledge to help improve the situation of families, having worked hard to attain his current position as a scientific and business leader. He firmly believes that there are millions of others like him who are only waiting for the opportunity to improve the lives of their families, neighbors and countrymen. The Solidarity Financial Network will enable these smart, dedicated young men and women climb out of the projects and transform the world.

While the Solidarity Financial Network has enormous potential, it is still currently in development.  Hector Fiallo and his team are inviting the public to help transform Latin America by investing in his Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. Supporters can receive valuable perks like website memorialization, T-shirts, caps, or chess sets.

Bagantrade.com Planning to Tap Into Global Market with Locally Manufactured Products

Bagantrade.com is dubbed as the Alibaba of Myanmar. The Burmese ecommerce company was started by a group of Burmese entrepreneurs led by Steven Phyo in 2015.

Bagantrade.com, a large ecommerce portal of Myanmar that has been modelled after China’s highly successful ecommerce portal Alibaba, is launched in April 2015. The ecommerce portal was envisioned by a group of Burmese entrepreneurs. Steven Phyo, one of the founder members and the current CEO of Bagantrade.com, told the press that their primary aim is to bridge the gap between local manufacturers of Myanmar and the vast and highly potential global market. He said that a thorough pre-launch market analysis was conducted by his team so that the strengths and challenges of Burmese manufacturers could be identified. Primarily, they found that agro-based products, handicrafts and jewellery have a larger global market which is still untapped.


Video Link: https://youtu.be/_Rlw5yLn56Q

Bagantrade.com co-founders, including Steven Phyo, met the press recently to declare their key objectives. “We have noticed that the local manufacturers in Myanmar really need a common ecommerce platform like Alibaba so that they can export their products to other countries. Internet penetration in Myanmar local market is still not anywhere near the global average. Many of the wholesalers and manufacturers offer truly world-class products but sadly, they lack the knowledge and expertise to promote and sell their products online. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Nay Min Thu, who picked up the idea and invested top dollars for its strategic implementation,” said Steven Phyo. Mr. Nay Min Thu is currently the Managing Director of iMyanmar Group. Both Steven Phyo and Nay Min Thu did their graduation from Singapore NTU and worked in Singapore for almost a decade.

The recent press conference was also attended by the other two co-founders of the company, Zin Phyo Paing and Soe Hein, who were providing business consultant and training to local businesses.

Mr. Zin Phyo Paing revealed to the press that Bagantrade.com made a rather humble beginning. “At first we only had seven employees. We took two months to develop the website and added MVP features to it. It was up and running by April 2015 and we started to get the market listings. We must say that we received response from local traders in Myanmar as initially many of them started suspecting us. We had to do a lot of ground level networking among local traders and manufacturers and I am happy to state that we have started to reap the benefits,” Mr. Zin Phyo Paing told the press.

Mr. Nay Min Thu, who runs an immensely successful website in Singapore (Shwerooms.com), told the press that Bagantrade.com is planning to collaborate with regional trade promotion departments of Burmese government and provide nationwide training on online trading. He said that local governments have welcomed the idea and some top ministers have shown interest in further collaboration.

At present, Bagantrade.com has thousands of listings from a good number of Burmese traders. Steven Phyo told the press that Bagantrade.com is not aiming at making huge profit at this moment. “We are mainly focused on capacity building for local suppliers and traders. We will also rope in traders from the neighbour countries. We are a fifteen-member team now and we will continue to expand. We want to take the local market products to the world. This way, we can ensure good business for all fellow Burmese traders in long term.

Bagantrade.com is an emerging online marketplace of Myanmar.

There’s no argument that the youth represent the future. Unfortunately, in many communities the youth hardly have a chance to spread their wings or find the encouragement to explore their artistic, musical or other abilities.  Be Iconic Entertainment, the brainchild of CEO Fallon Moreno, was founded to overcome these hurdles offering youth a place to express their artistic ability as musicians, singers or rappers, dancers, actors and actresses or however else their abilities express themselves.  Recently Be Iconic Entertainment announced it will be holding its first special event Generation NEXT on November 15th, 2015 at Burbank, California’s Flappers Club.  The red carpet celebration will feature at-risk youth from across the nation displaying their amazing talents to a crowd full of supportive and enthusiastic members of the community.  For Be Iconic Entertainment, and for many of the children and their families, it’s literally a dream come true.

“We’re beyond excited about Generation NEXT,”  commented Fallon, about Be Iconic Entertainment’s scheduled event in Burbank.  “We can’t underestimate how much value this delivers to the kids performing.  They are already being empowered by the process of preparing for it, and once they get to perform it’s going to be something very special.”

Fallon continued, “By showing up, you get to be a real part of showing these wonderful kids how amazing their work is and how much we believe in them.  Let’s do everything we can do get kids to enjoy doing the right thing, rather than falling into the trap of the wrong things.”

Shar Jackson well-known for her role as Niecy in Moesha will serve as host to the excitement of the local community.  The actress, singer and rapper has also appeared in Good Burger, The Ex-Wives Club, I Do… I Did, and a selection of other movies and brings an element of professionalism they the kids and crowd are sure to enjoy.

Experts Share The 5 ways that health is covered by insurance goes unnoticed by the general public

What is not widely known by patients is that many of the holistic services that provide a plethora of health benefits can be covered by their insurance policy if a doctor believes you may benefit.
It’s no secret that holistic treatment has taken off in the past decade.

Seeing a surge of providers seeking to treat the whole body rather than just the symptoms, and not surprisingly patients are reaping the benefits. What is not widely known by patients is that many of the holistic services that provide a plethora of health benefits can be covered by their insurance policy if a doctor believes you may benefit.

1. Nutritional Coaching

A nutrition Coach is a wellness authority and supportive mentor who motivates individuals to cultivate positive health choices. Nutrition Coaches educate and support clients to achieve their nutrition goals through lifestyle and behavior adjustments. Nutrition Coaches have a variety of services they provide for patients and clients of all types. A coach will begin by teaching the basics of general nutrition and then take a specific approach to each patient based on careful analysis of that person’s needs, their body type and any other information necessary to help that person reach their goals while keeping them safe and healthy.

2. Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicinal intervention dating back thousands of years. It works by inserting thin needles superficially into the skin to stimulate small wells of energy. Through clinical trials, acupuncture has been proven effective in treating various medical conditions and its use has expanded into Western and more conventional medical practices. According to the World Health Organization, acupuncture is an effective treatment for many health conditions.

3. Yoga

Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline that denotes a variety of schools, practices and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, the best-known being Hatha yoga and Raja yoga. The origins of yoga have been speculated to date back to the fifth and sixth centuries B.C.E. Yoga was brought to the west by gurus from India in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Yoga may benefit each person in different ways, but the medical community has documented evidence that yoga can help many conditions, including but not limited to: heart disease, chronic pain, and even depression.

4. Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person’s health and well-being. There are dozens of types of massage therapy methods (also called modalities). People seek massage therapy for a variety of reasons – to reduce stress and anxiety, relax muscles, rehabilitate injuries, reduce pain, and promote overall health and wellness. Generally, massage is known to affect the circulation of blood and the flow of blood and lymph, reduce muscular tension or flaccidity, affect the nervous system through stimulation or sedation, and enhance tissue healing.

5. Personal Training

A personal trainer is a fitness professional involved in exercise prescription and instruction. They motivate their clients by setting goals and providing feedback and accountability as they work to improve their health. Trainers also measure client’s strengths and weaknesses with fitness assessments. These fitness assessments may be performed before and after an exercise program to measure their client’s improvements in physical fitness. Personal Trainers may also educate their clients in many other aspects of wellness beyond exercise, including general health and nutrition.

When an Addict is Ready for Treatment

$

It’s time for a breakthrough.
There are a number of factors that play into the cycle of addiction and can prevent an addict from being to fully accept the efforts of recovery professionals, loving family members, friends and co-workers who want to see the addict return to a sober lifestyle.

The medical and biochemical foundations of addiction behavior are just now becoming well understood, and finding the appropriate treatment approach to bring those factors into alignment can be complicated and only happen after a few attempts for some people. Then there are the underlying mental health and emotional programming problems most addicts deal with.  For so many suffering from addiction, there are incidents stemming from early life, or from messages that were improperly internalized, that lead to feelings of worthlessness, self-deception, anxiety and reduced self-esteem. The addict who has these background issues will consistently bump up against the threat of addiction, like any other addict, but may not have the fundamental identity protection skills to prevent relapse into drug and substance abuse.

This is where a recovery program which is designed to help an addict find his or her footing can be a resource that is invaluable.  For any addict seeking recovery, there is usually a hesitance in approaching the treatment facility.  Fear of losing control over one’s life, boundary issues which are common to addicts, and the fear of medical judgement are all factors in the addict’s fear, as is the very real worry about legal and financial outcomes of addiction.  Picking up the pieces while being subject to the will of others, and judged at the same time, can seem like just too much to handle for someone in addiction.  Again, the drug of choice can become an escape that seems easier than sobriety ever could.

A program can be designed to simply ignore those challenges which a patient brings to recovery, or it can be designed intentionally and creatively to help an addict acknowledge and overcome them.  This second approach, which takes a holistic and individualized approach to recovery, is the one that produces the strongest results for addictions who want to achieve life-long freedom from addiction.  The medical professionals who help the addict to maintain a stable and healthy physical life inside recovery will remediate problems that may have arisen during addiction and teach skills that will help the addict survive the world outside of recovery.  The addiction specialist psychotherapists, psychologists and other recovery professions are there to supply the addict with enough caring and support to ensure that the program is successful.

Without the understanding and acceptance of an addict’s family and friends, recovery can seem overwhelming and some addicts have trouble finding the point in all of the work that’s required.  However, a world-class recovery and substance abuse treatment program will help the addict address problems in relationships that may have developed during addiction, develop skills that allow the addict to be direct and honest, while maintaining relationships and give the family or other unit an opportunity to reconnect and create  a future.

Alpha Customer Financing Solutions | 100% Financing | Customer Financing
Car dealerships, healthcare service providers and even travel agencies rely on Alpha Customer Financing Solutions to offer value added funding options to their customers.

Roswell, Georgia – September 14, 2015 – It is common for businesses such as auto repair shops, travel clubs, furniture and electronic stores, veterinary clinics and even medical service providers to sell their products and services to customers on credit. With the help of consumer financing, or as it is also know “customer financing, businesses are able to boost sales, assist customers and bring in additional revenues immediately and not worry about repaying to the financing company.

Alpha Customer Financing Solutions is one such renowned consumer loan service provider, based out of the Atlanta Georgia, which supplies “no recourse” funding for clients or customers of the businesses they partner with. This means that after a service or product is financed, it is solely the responsibility of the team at Alpha Customer Financing to make sure that the buyer pays back the loan.

Alpha Customer Finance recognizes the unique needs of every industry and thus offers a variety of tailor-made solutions for the customers, consumers and clients of each business.

“We at Alpha Customer Financing Solutions have noticed that the increasing number of auto repair shops, electronic, furniture appliance and even mattress stores that advertise multiple financing options, including customer financing options for those with less than perfect credit, do better business than those who don’t. Financing options have increasingly become a necessity for individuals and families, who have less than perfect credit giving rise to hundreds of businesses competing with each other. We recognize that every value-added service each store, business, or medical practice offers eventually translates into added profit for that business,” says the CEO Lloyd Katz at Alpha Customer Financing Solutions.

In addition to boosting sales for most companies, Alpha specializing in becoming a financing partner for shops to provide auto repair for auto body work, transmission repair, brake repair, tune-ups, paint jobs, repair for car stereos and alarm systems along with tires and rims, Scooters and much more.

“Another area where we find a significant need gap is the healthcare industry. While there are a number of businesses that claim to offer medical patient financing services, most of them demand an impeccable credit rating. We at Alpha Customer Financing Solutions finance patients with a credit score as little as 550,” adds the Head of Business Development.

This way, not only are healthcare service providers able to create a whole new customer base for themselves by opening doors to financial support, but also help improve bottom lines while providing easy access to high quality medical procedures to a wider audience.

Michael Kirkpatrick Educates Attorneys on Legal Advertising

On September 15, 2015, Michael Kirkpatrick, Media and Strategy Leader for Kirkpatrick Creative, will present a comprehensive CLE seminar: “Advertising Engineered to Work,” for attorneys of the Mississippi Association of Justice (MAJ). The seminar is a data-based advertising and marketing strategy session for attorneys and Bar members and will be held in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

The Mississippi Association of Justice New Lawyers Division will be hosting the Clarksdale Lunch & Learn on Tuesday, September 15th 11am-1pm. Two hours of CLE credit will be offered and lunch is included with your registration fee. Register yourself and tell a friend to join – all members of the bar are encouraged to attend. The seminar will be held at Parish Hall at St. George’s Episcopal Church in Clarksdale (109 Sharkey Avenue).

Speakers for the CLE seminars are by invitation only and at the discretion of the Mississippi Association of Justice.

“I’m honored to have been invited to speak by the Mississippi Association for Justice,” says Kirkpatrick. “I know how valuable time is to attorneys, and I look forward to bringing Kirkpatrick Creative’s law firm-specific marketing strategies to their attention – my goal is to save them their time and money.”

Kirkpatrick’s session will focus on Advertising Strategy for attorneys and law firms, based upon the stringent deployment of data feedback and analytical measurement. Attendees will learn how the measurement and refinement of both their advertising messaging and their advertising placement can help them achieve optimal results. Kirkpatrick will also discuss how the harvest of data-trending information can be collected to predict future return on advertising investment.

“Law firms can now measure every advertising medium they buy – from telephone books, to digital advertising, to television advertising – for productivity and response trends. By acting in response to those measurements, we can cumulatively double, even triple the impact of a client’s advertising budget,” says Kirkpatrick. “The strategic accuracy of your advertising – when deployed against databased planning – can give even small firms a powerful marketing tool for competing with much larger law firm advertising budgets,” he added.

Attorney advertising is highly competitive and can seem formidably expensive to smaller firms. Kirkpatrick Creative believes their data-based advertising and creative execution can put any law firm on competitive footing with much larger advertisers.

“We see a lot of routinely misspent advertising dollars – attorneys buying programs that are very expensive because of their high Nielson Ratings, but which produce very little results. We believe law firms should build their own rating system,” Kirkpatrick said.

Michael Kirkpatrick, of Kirkpatrick Creative in Little Rock, Arkansas, focuses on media and strategy for the firm’s law firm clients. He attended Ouachita Baptist University and holds an MBA from Henderson State University. Kirkpatrick is Team Leader in the development of his firm’s proprietary marketing-analytics software created exclusively for law firms.

CallsThatROCK CEO Puts Together Wall Street Crowdfunding Conference

PARSIPPANY, NJ – Sep 14, 2015 – Today, crowdfunding experts will convene in New York to engage Wall Street firms, institutions, hedge funds, family offices, and others in the private banking and high net worth world to discuss how equity-based crowd funding is more than a friends and family opportunity and what it can mean for the firms that properly position themselves.

“We are happy to be part of this event,” said Karl Schlegel, CEO of CallsThatROCK, a firm that is bringing cool to call center. “I believe that crowd funding is bringing personal engagement back into the picture and giving people access to participate in the creation of ideas in a more tangible manner than merely owning stock. People want recognition and crowd funding provides that. As it becomes easier to participate in equity-based crowdfunding, I believe that people are going to feel more of a sense of involvement as well as control than merely holding shares of a company through a transfer agent.” While enthusiastic about the benefits of equity-based crowdfunding, Schlegel also acknowledged the value that the market offers investors in terms of liquidity and a fast exit. He believes that Wall Street, advisory firms, headhunters, and law firms should take the opportunity seriously and position themselves to benefit. “Once equity-based crowdfunding goes into full effect under Title III of the JOBS Act, and becomes more open to friends and family participation, the successfully funded companies will be faced with turning vision into reality,” said Schlegel. “The firms that positon themselves to provide necessary services at affordable rates can benefit from the tidal wave of demand that will be created.” The Monday event will be a key step in raising awareness about the abundance of opportunity sitting on the doorstep. For Schlegel, this is in line with one the core beliefs that he and CallsThatROCK Chairman, Derek Gazal, have built the company on. “For us, business is all about people. People build great companies. People make the difference. Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of this when dealing with real estate assets, IP, technology, etc.”

The event will feature a panel discussion with Joy Schoffler, Principal and Founder of Leverage-PR and board member of two of the most active professional crowdfunding organizations, Chris Tyrell, CEO of Offerboard and Chairman of the Crowdfunding Intermediaries Regulatory Advocates (CfIRA), and Georgia P. Quinn, a securities attorney specializing in crowdfunding at Ellenoff, Grossman & Schole and CEO of iDisclose, a web-based legal disclosure platform focused on the disclosure needs of small businesses and startup entrepreneurs accessing capital via crowdfunding. The panel will be led and moderated by Ziad Abdelnour, Chairman of the Financial Policy Council and CEO of Blackhawk Partners, a Private Family Office.

“Pre-registration for the event has set a record,” said Schlegel who, in addition to serving as CEO of CallsThatROCK, is Chairman of Events for the Financial Policy Council (FPC) and a board member. “We are looking forward to a great event and are already in discussions about including equity based crowdfunding as a key topic at future events for the FPC in 2016.”

About CallsThatROCK

CallsThatROCK is a call center services company bringing “cool to call center” offering Filipino and US based solutions. The company’s mission is to grow businesses by helping clients find and service new customers.

About the Financial Policy Council
