West Chester, OH (PRWEB) November 16, 2006

Nora Rubinoff, a certified Master Virtual Assistant, has achieved the IVAA EthicsCheck™ Certification.

The EthicsCheck™ certification is a very difficult designation to achieve. According to the International Virtual Assistants Association (IVAA), “with the ‘products phase’ of e-commerce in the leading economies firmly in place, the Internet is now moving into its ‘services phase.’ A rising number of independent contractors internationally are ‘hanging out their shingles’ online, hoping to provide knowledge-based services remotely. However, the mistrust inherent in the anonymous online environment prevents the majority of independents from finding work, and the problem only worsens as e-services industries attempt to bridge widely-disparate cultures.”

“The EthicsCheck™ examination and Code of Ethics were designed to mitigate this mistrust and serve to enable e-services internationally. They do so by bringing a single ethical benchmark to the diverse e-marketplace, setting a standard for cross-border business practices, helping ethical VAs set themselves apart from others, and helping prospective contractors to find e-service providers with a confirmed ethical foundation,” the association continues.

Nora founded At Your Service Cincinnati, Ltd. in January, 2002. Nora and her staff deliver quality virtual assistance, e-mail marketing campaigns, project management, business productivity consulting and customer relationship management from their West Chester, Ohio headquarters and satellite offices to clients across the Greater Cincinnati region, the United States as well as overseas.

Nora has over two decades of computing, technical and administrative experience. In addition to her IVAA EthicsCheck™ certification, Nora is also a certified Master Virtual Assistant and Graduate Virtual Assistant. Nora is an expert coach, mentor and trainer for Virtual Assistance University and is a Presenting Industry Colleague for Virtual Business Training. Nora is a frequently requested speaker at the annual VA Conference and technology speaker for the West Chester Chamber Alliance, and is an upcoming speaker for the IVAA Educational Summit in 2007.

Nora is involved in international professional organizations, including the International Virtual Assistants Association (IVAA) and the International Association of Virtual Office Assistants (IAVOA). Nora also serves as a board member for the West Chester Chamber Alliance, the Cincinnati Reform Jewish High School and the Cincinnati Go Red for Women 2007 campaign.

Nora’s enthusiasm for helping both emerging and established Virtual Assistants navigate technology and best business practices is well known in the industry. She works daily helping colleagues and clients leverage technology to enhance their business productivity.

Nora and her husband and business partner Eric reside in West Chester, Ohio with their sons Brandon and Ben.

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) December 7, 2005

Private Schooling Direct, LLC announced today that its online private school resource is experiencing record increase in use by parents searching for alternatives to public education for their children.

“Much of the increased usage we are seeing is a direct result of more and more families making the decision to ensure the quality of their children’s education by seeking out privately owned options for schooling. In addition, government enacted school voucher programs as well as our own continued efforts to increase awareness, have helped Private Schooling Direct become a preferred resource for parents,” said James Reilly, President, Private Schooling Direct.

Now reaching thousands of families per month, Private Schooling Direct generates requests from families seeking information from private schools around the nation.

“Having quickly become a primary resource for families as they seek out private schools, Private Schooling Direct provides tremendous benefit for schools needing qualified students. Many schools are unaware of the massive impact the Internet has had on the school research process of parents. Having a website is not enough. The vast majority of schools cannot be found by parents using very clear and logical searches,” continued Mr. Reilly.

Private Schooling Direct, LLC operates the premier online resource designed to assist parents in locating and researching private, parochial, and religious schools grades PreK-12, in a desired area. For private schools, Private Schooling Direct is the most effective way to attract attention from families currently searching for alternatives to public education.

The Finsbury Park Boys, a group of singers from the Victory Youth Group at the UCKG HelpCentre in Seven Sisters Road, were among the performers at a recent charity concert in aid of the Sickle Cell Society.

The concert was arranged by the African Caribbean Society (ACS) at Thames Valley University in order to raise money for the UK’s leading charity for sufferers from a range of sickle cell disorders (SCD). These are inherited conditions, linked to the shape of the individual’s red blood cells. In Britain SCD is most common among people of African and Caribbean descent.

Speaking on behalf of the Finsbury Park Boys, George Boateng said: “The Thames Valley University gig was a great opportunity for us, for two very good reasons. Firstly, we were delighted to be invited share our style of gospel music with young Christians and non-Christians from a number of universities.

“Secondly, as members of a church with many African and African-Caribbean followers, it was good to be helping the Sickle Cell Society. We know that SCD is not well understood in Britain. This must change so sufferers get the quality care they need. Raising money to educate health carers and other professionals about this condition will make a difference.”

People with the less-flexible sickle cells in their blood instead of normal rounded red cells can suffer bouts of intense pain, damage to such organs as the liver, kidneys, lungs, hear and spleen and sometimes a reduced lifespan. While this does not prevent them from leading normal lives, they need specialist medical attention, particularly in the context of pregnancies, dentistry and operations.

It is estimated that at least one in 10 – 40 Britons of African and African-Caribbean descent have sickle cell trait and one in up to 200 are SCD sufferers. That means there are over 6,000 adults and children in this country with the condition at the present time.

Sao Paolo, Brazil (PRWEB) August 28, 2006

Online publishing company Killer Guides Ltda released their latest unofficial World of Warcraft strategy guide on August 24. It’s a 178 page reference for druids, one of the nine different classes players can choose in the popular online game. The company offers the World of Warcraft Druid Guide as downloadable e-book to provide druid players with advice on all forms of character advancement.

The newly published guide was written for players who already have a basic understanding of World of Warcraft. Addressing the fierce competition between players for resources and fame, it covers the problems players face in the virtual world. Killer Guide’s goal with the guide is to provide money earning opportunities, leveling strategies and advice on duels between different players from a druid’s point of view.

Aside from its electronic form and its focus on a single class it is also unusual in that a top-rated active player, freelance writer Scott Campbell, was contracted for the complete life-cycle of the guide. Killer Guides has chosen this setup for the next three years to keep track of the game’s development, making the guide for the ever-changing World of Warcraft a work in progress at all times. Scott Campbell explained his participation in the project with “the chance to combine advanced gaming strategies with creative writing”. While having written several freely available articles, this is his first commercial World of Warcraft project.

According the Director of Marketing, Lucio Pereira, the maturity of the audience is a key component of Killer Guide’s marketing concept “Our goal is to provide guides for people who know the game already. We close the gap between playing a game and mastering it.” In regards to contracting a freelancer for the complete sales-cycle of the guide he adds that “regular players do not only expect a detailed guide, but also one that adapts to changes that occur in the game world”.

With the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft, “The Burning Crusade”, the topic of the first overhaul the guide will receive has also been determined already. “Within 2 weeks after the release of the expansion we want our customers to receive an e-mail with the new strategies,” comments Pereira. A contract between the company and the author has already been signed to ensure personal support to all customers till then.

Killer Guides Ltda operates an online shop for unofficial strategy guides to online roleplaying games at http://www.killerguides.com. The company currently provides 71 strategy guides for 13 different games. Killer Guides works with independent authors and features a royalty payment system that rewards writers according to the customer ratings their works receive. The company is not sponsored, controlled or affiliated with any game publisher or developer. Since it’s inception in February 2006, the company managed to cover 80% of the major US and European online roleplaying games.

Montclair, NJ (Vocus/PRWEB) March 31, 2011

Montclair State University’s Office of Arts and Cultural Programming will present Brainstorm, a symposium exploring concepts of creative thinking on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 at the Alexander Kasser Theater. Presenters include leaders in creative research and choreographic, performance, and visual arts exploring cognitive tools for accessing creativity, and how barriers can be broken through the creative process. The development of Choreographic Thinking Tools by the R-Research component of Wayne McGregor | Random Dance will be highlighted.

According to Jedediah Wheeler, executive director of Montclair State University’s Office of Arts and Cultural Programming: “Art and science have a natural synergy at Montclair State, as evidenced in the University’s academic programs and in the realization of this transdisciplinary symposium. Brainstorm also reflects my belief that art is universal and shares interests with other disciplines – helping people with divergent goals find common ground.”

Brainstorm was developed as part of the 2010 Creative Campus Innovations Grant awarded to Montclair State University. The grant program is made possible by the Association of Performing Arts Presenters, funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
