Personal Values & Integrity Course at Freedom Treatment Center Helps Addicts Rebuild Their Life

Albion, MI (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

Addiction is known for its ability to corrupt and destroy a persons mind, and Freedom Treatment Centers new Personal Values and Integrity course is being introduced as a way for people to re-establish a strong moral foundation. Drug and alcohol addiction can transform even those who were once good at heart into people who manipulate, lie, steal, cheat and otherwise engage in negative and dishonest behaviors. This course helps students learn to make ethical, positive choices and avoid the behaviors that their addiction helped create.

Students learn all about ethics, morals, responsibility and how integrity is lost and exactly how it can be restored, said Freedom Treatment Center representative Brian Kuehne. We dont believe those suffering from addiction are bad people. We do believe, however, they may do bad things as a result of their addiction and this course helps stop that problem."

The Freedom Centers new course underscores one of the key points of its recovery programs, which is to rebuild a persons life. With a focus on integrity and values, this new course aims to help students stop self-centered thinking. It encourages personal responsibility, ethical action and a greater understanding of how their actions not only affect themselves but also those around them.

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) reports that a clear connection exists between drugs, alcohol and crime. While some offenses are for breaking laws related to drug and alcohol use, others are for offenses that stem from the use, such as stealing to fuel a drug habit or being under the influence while committing a rape, assault, homicide or other crime. NCADD adds that taking away the substance is not enough to constitute recovery. Programs instead need to add accountability into the equation.

The new course places a strong emphasis on accountability, teaching students how to engage in responsible actions that are backed by positive motivations. The course achieves its goals by asking students to review their lives and examine harmful acts they have committed against themselves and others. While the task may appear overwhelming at a glance, Freedom Treatment Center has found it is a vital step in recovery. It helps students understand the effects of their actions, raise their responsibility levels, become accountable for their actions, eradicate guilt, shame and remorse, and truly become free of their past.

Located in a semi-residential pocket of Southern Michigan, Freedom Treatment Center provides the soothing and safe environment and assistance so vital for helping people overcome drug and alcohol addiction. Treatment begins with a natural detoxification and continues with counseling, education and lifestyle changes that help ensure an ongoing and successful recovery.

MinuteHound Releases Attendance Software For Small to Midsize Companies

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

Small companies and organizations across America are searching for budget-friendly solutions to increase competitiveness. New technology that provides a competitive edge can mean the difference between mediocrity and success. MinuteHound has recently released payroll and attendance software to meet the unique needs of small business. MinuteHound technology increases workplace efficiency, while reducing costs.

MinuteHound's biometric time clock requires very little space. In fact, a dedicated computer isn't even necessary. MinuteHound's software runs in the background, allowing the computer to be used for other purposes. Whether it's that extra computer in the employee lounge, or the first computer employees encounter when walking in, MinuteHound installs on any PC.

MinuteHound is more than a "one-size-fits-all" solution. Several packages are now offered to specifically address the needs of small companies and organizations. Every organization is unique, therefore MinuteHound utilizes a tiered pricing structure based on employee count and number of locations.

Because MinuteHound requires a fingerprint scan to clock-in and clock-out, it's virtually impossible to cheat. According to the American Payroll Association, businesses overpay upwards of 5 percent annually due to problems with payroll reporting. While trying to compete in a world of huge corporations, payroll issues are the last thing a small business needs. With the release of MinuteHound's attendance payroll software for small to midsize companies, business owners will be able to use the same technology as larger competitors.

Customer support is one more reason this system works well for small businesses. Some businesses occasionally operate late into the night, while other organizations always keep late hours. Either way, MinuteHound's 100-percent U.S.A. based support staff are accessible for help. No matter what the issue is, an answer can always be found.

Not everything comes easy in the dog-eat-dog world of business. Fortunately, MinuteHound brings simplicity and ease to timekeeping. With timekeeping software for small business, owners are able to spend less time processing payroll, and more time doing what they love.

Harnessing the Power of the Crowd to Honor Aaron Swartz

Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

This month Prepr Foundation is paying tribute to the internet prodigy Aaron Swartz and asking the crowd to honor his memory by supporting a new social learning network - Open Prepr. Swartz spent his short career helping to connect people and information online. Recognizing the wealth of knowledge of the crowd he went on to co-found Reddit, create RSS feeds and help develop Creative Commons - all initiatives that make learning more accessible.

Building upon the work of Swartz and others, Open Prepr will help learners navigate information available online and provide a forum for discussion. Embracing the power of the crowd Open Prepr is being built by the people and for the people, from funding to content. The campaign to fund Open Prepr, "Lets Open Education Together: In Memory of Aaron Swartz," is being hosted on Indiegogo. Because the idea for Open Prepr shares many similarities with Swartzs philosophy on open access to information we decided to use the campaign as a tribute to him, explains co-founder Salar Chagpar.

Beyond the crowd-funding campaign, Prepr also visited MIT in February to create a physical tribute to Swartz. A larger than life image of him affixed to one of the most recognizable MIT buildings, the Ray and Maria Stata Center, creates a striking and provocative series of photographs. Aaron left his mark on MIT in countless intangible ways, and we wanted to create a lasting image to express that, says Chagpar.

About Prepr Foundation

Prepr Foundation is making education more accessible and social by creating the first online open education and innovation community Open Prepr. By integrating innovation and collaboration into the learning environment Prepr will help students develop key skills while absorbing new knowledge. This project is by the people, for the people and will be partially funded through the crowdfunding site Indiegogo. Prepr launched in Boston as the start-up sponsor of the 2011 MIT Techfair. To join the movement or learn more, visit http://prepr.org, or follow us on Twitter at Preprme.

Mortgage Lender Prepares For Increase In FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums By Encouraging Prospective Buyers and Homeowners To Take Action Now

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

RANLife Home Loans is a direct endorsed lender and is highly experienced in FHA home loans and refinances. Earlier this year, The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced that FHA mortgage insurance premiums would not only be increasing, but becoming permanent. Since then RANLife has been encouraging borrowers wanting to buy a home and homeowners with an existing FHA loan to take action now and avoid paying more on their monthly mortgage payment.

Two changes will be taking effect to FHA mortgage insurance, the first happening right around the corner. As of April 1, 2013, FHA backed mortgages will be subject to an MIP increase of 10 basis points (BPS are basis points, or 1/100th of one percent) annually. The increase applies to all loan terms, including 15 and 30 year fixed rate FHA loans .

While 10 basis points is not a massive increase, borrowers will be able to recognize a difference in their monthly mortgage payment. For someone with a $ 200,000 loan amount, after the new changes their monthly mortgage payment will increase by almost $ 17/month and $ 200/year.

There are still a few days to avoid this increase, contact us today.

The second set of changes are quite more substantial as FHA is reversing the policy that allows FHA backed homeowners to cancel mortgage insurance premiums once the outstanding principal balance of an FHA loan reaches 78% of the original balance. Beginning June 3, 2013, MIP will stay on loans that start with a loan to value (LTV) of 90% or higher for the life of the loan. Also, for loans with an LTV of 90% or less, the new MIP will last 11 years.

FHA loans have been one of the countrys most inexpensive and readily accessible forms of mortgage financing since the programs inception almost 80 years ago. A loan that was once designed for lower income families and first time homebuyers is becoming more expensive and amendments to the program could have the tendency to steer borrowers away towards programs with less expensive, private mortgage insurance options. CEO of RANLife Home Loans, Greg Walker, agreed by stating, The changes will make it more expensive to have an FHA loan and it will cause more home buyers to qualify through conforming loans rather than government loans."

The good news, it's the best time to save on an FHA loan and its not too late to avoid these changes. Borrowers unable to close on a home loan or refinance before these two deadline dates will be assigned an FHA case number to exclude them from these changes. With a qualified representative at RANLife Home Loans homebuyers and homeowners can get their FHA case number assigned to them today, saving them money for the future years to come.

Founded in 2001, RANLife Home Loans, is a mortgage lender based out of Salt Lake, UT, that provides a fast, personalized solution to obtaining a home loan or refinance. Great service, with great rates. This is RANLife's commitment we provide to all of our customers. For more information on RANLife Home Loans, please visit http://www.ranlife.com/index.php

#1 Key To Ace Exams: Smart Note Taking; Five Best Practices

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

Proper note taking is perhaps the #1 key to exam success. It takes smarts. You can't expect success just by showing up to class and trying to scribble down everything the teacher says. You know what we mean. When you review the notes (cramming for the test), they don't make sense; it's like trying to learn the same material all over again. Proper note taking technique, on the other hand, can mean great grades, less time wasted, more time for the really important stuff like gaming!

SIX STEPS TO ACE YOUR EXAMS

1. Go To Class.

Crazy as it seems, you will actually save time studying if you go to class. In the classroom you will learn what the teacher really thinks is important.

2. Identify Whats Important.

The major points and topics. This is a learning process. Again, it requires an extraordinary ability to concentrate carefully on what is being said, listening for the teachers voice inflections to sift the extraneous from the critical. Once you have identified the major ideas, organize your notes around them; don't waste time on the superfluous. Discipline yourself to only write down the key points. You'll be able to hear, if you listen for it, what will be in the exam. More is less when you come back to review.

3. Avoid Neat.

Yes, that's right. One of the major hang-ups students have about note taking is trying to keep everything neat: all lines parallel; no fragment sentences; etc. Don't do that. Your goal is to make the big ideas, the important words, the critical examples, and similar crucial information stand out. To do this you need to fragment your text, underline, bold, circle, draw boxes, slant text, write bigger, use all caps, and so forth. This is aggressive note taking. It takes concentration; total involvement in what you are doing. You are much more focused when trying to infer and highlight the key points versus just writing everything down. You will save hours of wasted time when it comes to reviewing your notes prior to exams.

4. Write In Questions.

Since you will be asked questions on the exam, see if you can identify them in the lectures you hear. Sometimes the teacher will actually ask a question. Great. Write it down. Then carefully detect the answer and the supporting material. When the teacher doesn't ask the question, try doing it yourself, and it will surprise you how much of the lecture will fall into place. Again, this process requires that you pay careful attention and focus on what is actually being said and asked behind the multitude of words coming out of the teachers mouth. You will be amazed how much more you retain and understand when you search for the key questions. Later in life, this discipline will serve you well. The smartest business-people, doctors and leaders in all walks of life are those who ask the right questions, not those who have the answers.

5. Concentrate On Examples.

Let's say you are in a technical class of some sort: math, engineering, for example. Don't read the chapter ahead of time because that will almost certainly be a waste of time. The teacher will explain key concepts and give several examples. Concentrate on the examples and ask questions whenever you get lost. If you can follow the examples, you are golden. These examples will be very similar to test scenarios.

Okay, what is the take-away from all of the above? The phrase that keeps popping up is "you need to pay careful attention, focus, concentrate." All of these tips engage your brain at a higher level.

New International Living Report Lists Costa Rica As Top Retirement Destination

San Jose, Costa Rica (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

In a report titled "The World's Top Retirement Havens in 2013", the world renown and accredited travel publication International Living, rated Costa Rica in the Top 5 best places to retire in the world.

Since then more studies have been revealed that only increase the attractiveness of this tiny Latin American nation.

One such study by Latinvex, a news agency focused on covering news throughout all of Latin America, published a report revealing the safest countries in Latin America and this same study listed Costa Rica #1 most safest place to live in the entire region. The ranking of 19 countries was based on data from public security departments, local police, governments, NGOs, and institutions responsible for crime investigation.

Additionally, the New Economics Foundation published their findings on the HPI - Happy Planet Index - and officially ranked Costa Rica as the happiest place on Earth. The study cited numerous factors to determine the rating from data culled from the Gallup World Poll, asking people how they felt their lives measured up on a scale of 1 to 10. Then the organization (HPI) factored in life expectancy and the countrys ecological footprint -- the amount of land needed to sustain the its way of life.

"The Mar Vista Costa Rica retirement community is one built on promise and fulfillment. At Mar Vista there's no waiting for amenities to arrive - they're already here!" says PM Alejandro Berkowitz.

"The reality is that people are growing increasingly tired of the hectic pace and constant bombardment of one crisis after the next - they seek refuge. At Mar Vista we provide affordable homes...in paradise." added Berkowitz.

Mar Vista is the premier retirement community along the Gold Coast of Guanacaste - a haven for expatriates who've already made the decision to live their lives in the happiest place on Earth.

Although not new information, the fact remains that of the 5 officially designated "Blue Zones" in the world, Costa Rica is one of them. What this means is that the country has one of the longest life expectancies in the world and along with that they consider educational and information resources, community health programs, foods and food services, real estate developments and consumer goods.

Overall it becomes clear that Costa Rica is poised particularly well in portraying itself as one of the top retirement destinations in the world for expats seeking all the necessary criteria that makes any place an attractive destination to live out your golden years.

Shenzhen, Guangdong (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

Well-known tech brands have been put on notice by the release of a new ThL phone which comes with more power, a smarter iOS, and a better camera, says China Android phone seller, Chinavasion.

Online Android smartphone seller Chinavasion launched the ThL W8 Android 4.1 powerhouse which is taking the online world by storm.

The Android smartphone comes with a 12MP rear camera, 1.2GHz Mediatek quad core processor, 1GB of RAM and Android 4.1 in a package priced at up to half of what brand name phones are costing in bricks and mortar stores.

Rose Li, PR manager for Android smartphone seller Chinavasion compares this the industry's most popular Android device, and emphasizes that the top iOS device only having 8MP cameras and come with outdated software.

"The most popular Android device still runs Android 4.0 and iOS devices are still locked down with the amount of memory that they can have," says Li. "Big brand-name phone makers should be scared."

In fact, Li says with a 5MP front camera, 12MP rear camera and huge 5 inch high definition screen the ThL W8 makes a fantastic photographer's phone.

"Throw the Adobe photoshop app on this phone and you've got the ultimate pocket-sized camera device," says Li. "No other phone on the market can make a claim to that."

China Android smartphone brands have been some of the fastest rising names in the mobile world with tech brands including Huawei, ZTE and Lenovo getting global coverage for products and being purchased by carriers over offerings from other models, says Li.

She says companies like ThL and Xiaomi offer the next generation of phone makers producing world class phones capable of competing on the world stage.

"ThL is a first class player in the global phone market," says Li. "They have worked extensively with the W8 to come up with a phone that offers a better experience than almost any other Android phone."

Li says this is done while offering the unlimited flexibility and price that people have come to expect from China phones.

The device allows users to swap batteries, add multiple SIM cards and expand the memory by up to 32GB without the use of tools all while maintaining the same battery life seen from more expensive phones.

China Android smartphone makers have been careful to optimize elements like the resolution to get the most out of the phone's battery," says Li. "Owners could potentially carry around three fully-charged batteries and keep their ThL going for days before needing to recharge."

And with all phones coming with a one year manufacturers warranty, Li says customers can be assured that their phone won't let them down.

"Chinavasion has a reputation for world-class customer service, and with ThL it is looking to take that to the next level," says Li. Visit Chinavasion today: http//:http://www.chinavasion.com

Hypnotension Offers Advice To Reduce High Blood Pressure

(PRWEB UK) 30 March 2013 Hypnotension, the programme which helps people to lower high blood pressure naturally have issued new advice which says that squeezing a stress ball may help lower blood pressure.
The advice is backed up by recent research from the American Heart Association which found that isometric exercise, such as squeezing a stress ball, might have a greater impact on reducing blood pressure than aerobic exercise or lifting weights.
Rob Woodgate, co-creator of the Hypnotension Programme says, Weve always maintained that exercise can make a significant difference when it comes to reducing high blood pressure naturally, and that any exercise is better than no exercise.
Our approach to exercise is to help clients do to more of it in ways which dont seem like a chore. We are particularly excited by the finding that isometric exercise, such as squeezing a stress ball, might have the greatest impact on reducing blood pressure, as this fits well with our approach of building client activity levels slowly.
The Hypnotension programme looks at a variety of lifestyle factors to establish which is likely to be causing or maintaining high blood pressure. These lifestyle factors are then targeted using specific cognitive and hypnotherapeutic techniques to help reduce the clients blood pressure towards more normal levels.
There is a network of specially trained

California Body Care supports Our Community House of Hope (OCHH)

Thousand Oaks, CA (PRWEB) March 29, 2013 California Body Care (CBC), a leading provider of holistic skin care products, has become a fundraising partner for Our Community House of Hope (OCHH) in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
 The mission of OCHH is to offer end-of-life care to terminally ill people who have no financial resources in both Ventura County and northwest Los Angeles County. CBC plans to donate products to the organization, which can then either be sold or given away as door prizes or other fundraising incentives.
According to data from the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, the number of patients entering California hospice care increased 22.1 percent between 2006 and 2011. Medicare and Medi-Cal often pay for hospice care as does some employer benefits plans. However, for patients without resources who do not qualify for these programs, end-of-life care can be unaffordable.
Hospice programs provide drugs, medical equipment and medical supplies related to end-of-life care. Additionally, hospice provides RN care, social worker visits, chaplain services and home health aid. Patients who are often in pain receive palliative care that allows them to spend their last days with dignity, while families receive support to help them cope with the terminal illness and death of a loved one.
OCHH operates a "House of Hope" as well as delivering resources for hospice education. The House of Hope is a four-bedroom home in Thousand Oaks that provides care to adult patients with less than three months to live. Educational programs focus on university students, health care professionals and community groups, and they are designed to teach about compassionate possibilities for end-of-life care. Some OCHH educational programs deliver continuing education credits for health care providers.
For the first anniversary of their first house, OCHH assembled a wine and food pairing event as a fundraiser. The organization hoped to raise $ 30,000 from the event. In addition to this and other fundraising opportunities, OCHH benefits entirely from private donations like those from CBC.

"Nigerian Government should put government vacancies online" says Jobberman CEO

Lagos, Nigeria (PRWEB) March 31, 2013 The CEO of Nigerias most popular jobs website, http://www.jobberman.com, has called on the government to ensure all Nigerians have access to government job opportunities in the wake of the recent unemployment protests against the government in Bayelsa. 
The protests involved violent clashes with police and jobless graduates protesting against unemployment. 
Jobberman CEO, Ayodeji Adewunmi commented that this type of youth discontent shows the height of desperation and frustration at the unemployment situation in the country.
This riot is a reflection of the growing discontent in the Niger Delta region. Our greatest natural resource as a country is not oil it is the people and their potential is both untapped and vast. Education and skill acquisition programmes will unlock the true potential of the country, and the Niger Delta in particular, but also direct access to opportunities nationally, supported by the country's largest employers.
Ayodeji Adewunmi said that while the federal government has rightly been focusing on providing the right socio-economic climate for businesses and industries to thrive, there was more that could be done at a practical grassroots level to address the unemployment issue. 
He said that beyond encouraging a larger share of the national budget going to education, encouraging access to credit, and providing a conducive business environment that fosters value generation and job creation, the government needed to urgently address red tape issues, and needed to embrace the opportunities afforded by new technology and innovation.
He further said that the government itself, as a major employer, could easily ensure as a matter of good public policy, that all government and parastatal job vacancies were mandatorily placed online so that all Nigerians could access them. He said that advertising on http://www.jobberman.com and other online media was free, and that Jobberman was prepared to allocate dedicated resources to assist government bodies to place their opportunities online if needs be.
He said that Jobberman was known for trying to ensure as many opportunities were on the site as possible for Nigerians to access, and called on the government to support this goal. 
He said ' there are not many good public policy initiatives that cost the tax payer nothing, have almost no barriers to implementation and directly address an urgent and pressing social problem."
Adewumni further said that in terms of reach, marginalised parts of the country can now easily access opportunities online, and that the government should be taking the opportunity to be at the forefront of delivering their promise for equitable access to opportunity throughout the country, and setting a strong example. 
He said the online medium offers a practical, homegrown and innovative solution to the lack of localised opportunity in marginalised communities. 
He noted that in other countries, such as Australia and the U.S.A, the government was obliged by their citizens to place all their job vacancies online for citizens to access, and other African countries such as Rwanda and Kenya were also beginning to consider addressing this social issue in the same way. 
Ayodeji Adewunmi is the CEO and co-founder of Jobberman, the biggest jobs board in Nigeria with over 6,000 companies offering opportunities to Nigerians.

RoadFish.com is pleased to see a bank taking such measures to encourage consumers to amp up their financial goals and stay on top of their credit.

Nobody ever means to go a year or twoor a lot longerwithout checking on their credit report or credit score, but sometimes life gets away from you and it falls on the backburner. Its wonderful of Wells Fargo to launch this sort of program. Ive seen commercials on TV and even heard them on my Pandora radio station about what they are doing. Theyre marketing it perfectly, and I give them major props for initializing such a wonderful campaign. 
The above-mentioned article states that Wells Fargo first did a promotion like this in October 2012, when over 280,000 customers were moved to action and took advantage of checking their credit reports and scores for zero cost. The article reports that according to the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, 55% of American adults have not checked their credit score in a year, and 62% have not checked their credit report in over a year. 
RoadFish.com hopes that consumers will take advantage of Wells Fargos offer in one way or another. RoadFish.coms Senior staff writer is quoted as saying, Even though credit reports are available year round at no charge to consumers people just forget to check. My hope is that with all the advertising Wells Fargo is doing for this campaign, it will reach the right ears and that people will actually take advantage of the generous offer. Not only that, but consumers can check their credit scoressomething that is as of now not included in a yearly gratsis credit check. 
The head of Wells Fargos Consumer Credit Solutions Group, Tom Wolfe, was quoted above as saying, By deliberately setting a financial goal, a consumer is taking the first step toward achieving it.
