Gym Gekko: Sweat Shielding Fitness Towel That Grips

0
0

Bethesda, MD – On August 25, 2015, Uy (we) Hoang launched a Kickstarter campaign for Gym Gekko, a new fitness towel with over 2,000 silicone dots that grips to nearly any surface, to shield you from other people’s sweat while absorbing your own.

“As an avid gym goer, I was getting tired of inconsiderate people using a machine and then leaving their sweat behind. My only option was to lay a regular cotton towel down, but then it’s nearly impossible to keep track of which side was the clean one,” the creator explains, “Also, any machine that didn’t have a flat surface like a decline bench pretty much ruled out even using a towel at all. I looked around for a solution, but saw there was none. That’s when I decided to take it into my own hands and create the Gym Gekko.”

The Gym Gekko towel takes care of these problems. It’s engineered with over 2,000 anti-slip silicone dots. This ensures that it grips the bench or machine, to maintain a hygienic barrier between you and shared equipment. And since the silicone dots will always be facing downwards, you can confidently wipe down your own face and body with the soft and absorbent clean side of the towel. The towel is large enough and absorbent enough for you to wipe down the sweat from your own body, yet is lightweight and easy to carry around. Since its microfiber, it’s also a lot softer than those rough cotton gym towels.

“The inspiration for the Gym Gekko is the gecko lizard,” says Hoang, “Both of them can adhere to nearly any surface, so that’s how the name came about. I even chose the flagship color for our towel, green, as an homage to this amazing animal.”

In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including a Gym Gekko logo sticker for $5, one Gym Gekko towel (24”x15”) for the early bird amounts of $10-$15 or the regular Kickstarter amount of $20, and more! Backers can also pledge $35 to receive two Gym Gekko towels, $50 for three Gym Gekko towels, or $60 for four Gym Gekko towels.

Kids in the House Shares Back-to-School Tips

0

Well it’s time of year again!  Summer vacation winding down, get those last beach days in while you can, because it’s time to go back to school!  New school supplies, new year, new classmates, new teachers, and a new set of concerns for children of all ages.

Experts say the key to a good school year is to get into good habits and establish them early in order to set the tone for the New Year.  Beverly Hills School clinical psychologist for more than 19 years & best-selling author, Lee Hausner, says there are four basics for academic success.  These are “designated study time, helping children get organized by having a daily planner and then having a long range planner where they have an assignment that may take several weeks.”

“Focus on process, not results… Being positive in terms of looking at things that the children are doing well in school vs. being critical of what they are not doing,” Hausner stresses.

ModernMom.com CEO and TV Host, Brooke Burke, knows that the back to school mania is just as hard on parents as it can be for kids.  Her tips for back-to-school basics are as follows:

• Book pediatric appointments early
• Make a family calendar
• Online shop
• Create a snack drawer
• Pack lunches the night before
• Create a homework box
• Generic toys in bulk
• Personalized gift stickers
• Washable labels for each kid’s clothes

On top of the academic stresses, there are also the social pressures that come with a new school year.  Just because the school year ended, doesn’t mean the feuds did.   Educational Activist, Jodi Wing, argues it might be harder for girls than boys.

“I call September ‘Mean Girl month’, which means that everyone has sort of taken a stand, they’re coming back in after God knows what happened in June,” says Wing.

She continues, “But you know as high as an anxiety level as they may have, they do have some innate strategies up their sleeve, which they’re ready and able to enact should something sort of arise.” 

Experts encourage staying on top of this and fostering open conversations with your children to avoid things getting out of hand.

So remember: prioritize organization, keep an open dialogue with your children, don’t sweat the small stuff, and you’ll cruise through the new year with no trouble at all!

ShockStop: The Shock-Absorbing Bike Stem

0
0

Philadelphia, PA – On August 25 2015, Redshift Sports, a small company based in Philadelphia, launched a Kickstarter campaign for ShockStop, an adjustable shock-absoring bicylce stem that fits virtually any bikeThe ShockStop smooths out your ride and makes biking a lot more comfortable. It’s perfect for performance cyclists, recreational riders, and commuters. 

“Bikes should be comfortable and riding should be fun. But ride more than a few miles, and you quickly realize that bikes are extremely stiff,” says the team, “They transmit every little bump straight to our hands and arms, and after a while those impacts and vibrations make the ride less enjoyable. Bumps and rough roads also rob you of speed, cause a loss of control, and over time they can even lead to chronic injury.”

Over the last few years, bike manufacturers have made major improvements in ride comfort through increased rear-end compliance, but the front-end of most road bikes remains unforgivingly stiff. Carbon forks and padded bar tape provide minor relief, but they do little to cushion the rider’s hands and arms against sharper impacts from bumps, cracks, and other road imperfections. The ShockStop stem does what gloves and extra bar tape can’t: it isolates your upper body from the realities of the road.

The Shockstop is a single-pivot shock-absorbing suspension stem that is designed from the ground-up specifically for riding on less-than-perfect roads. It dramatically improves front-end ride quality without compromising steering responsiveness or affecting your existing bike fit. Twin interchangeable elastomers let each rider fine-tune the road feel to perfectly match their own riding style. Racers, triathletes, and competitive riders can choose firmer settings to retain a more traditional front-end feel, while commuters, fitness enthusiasts, and endurance riders can dial in a softer feel to maximize comfort.

“Two years ago, the three of us (Stephen Ahnert, Erik deBrun, and Scott Poff) started Redshift Sports to combine our passion for cycling, mechanical engineering, and product development,” the creators explain, “We launched our first product line, the Switch Aero System, on Kickstarter in June 2013 and raised 2.5 times our original funding goal. Today, thousands of our backers and customers from all over the world ride with Redshift components on their bikes.”

In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including a Team Redshift t-shirt for $30, one ShockStop for $99, or two ShockStops for $179.

The MonoShot Is The Selfie Stick For People Who Don’t Want A Selfie Stick

0

Santa Barbara, California – Zack Cram was faced with a common problem when he started working on the MonoShot, a custom smartphone stand with a bluetooth remote for capturing hands free photos.

“I was at the driving range golfing, and wanted something I could toss in my golf bag to film myself practice with my iPhone,” says the creator. “Everything I looked at was either meant for professional cameras and way too big, or it was a cheap selfie stick and stand that couldn’t really capture the whole picture.” 

Originally only intended for golfers, Zack realized that their were actually limitless applications for his device. Fully extended, your Smartphone camera rests at 5 foot 10 inches above the ground, and it collapses to just 17 inches tall. Also included is a custom spike attachment for using the monoshot on uneven soft surfaces like grass or snow. The universal smartphone mount is very versatile, and even fits large phones like the iPhone 6 plus. Couple those features with the shutter remote that works with android or ios devices, and you have the complete package for filming just about anything with your smartphone or gopro. 

The MonoShot is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter for December delivery. Backers can receive a monoshot for $49 Dollars USD, which will be a 20% discount off retail pricing.

With smartphone camera technology rapidly advancing every year, your average consumer is using their smartphone in place of a DSLR camera a lot more often, as indicated by declining compact and dslr camera sales worldwide. Compact cameras have especially taken a hit, declining from 147 million dollars in 2012, to just 59 million dollars in 2014. Couple this with the explosion of photo sharing apps like instagram and snapchat, and smartphone photography is here to stay.

The Factors to Consider when Selecting a Rehab Facility

0
0
Factors to Consider when Selecting a Rehab Facility One of the most basic things to consider is the type of facility your condition applies to…
Hard as it may be to fathom, admitting that you have a drug problem is only the first step towards a long yet fruitful and fulfilling journey to recovery. Restoration of your self-respect, self-worth, self-esteem and peace of mind can only be achieved when you choose the right program for you and commit to it.

Introduction

The quality of treatment in a drug rehabilitation center is determined by many factors, one of which is the level of professionalism and expertise of the staff in handling such matters. You will see later on some of the important factors you may want to consider while choosing a drug rehabilitation center for your recovery and freedom from drug or alcohol addiction. Factors to Consider when Selecting a Rehab Facility One of the most basic things to consider is the type of facility your condition applies to. As an addict, you first need to see a medical professional who will assess you and recommend the best rehab facility that will be most beneficial to you. Basically, there are three kinds of rehab facilities; Long term Residential,

Short term Residential and Outpatient Treatment Centers

Long-term treatment programs usually last no less than 6 months and in some cases can be up to a year while short term care centers last anywhere from a couple of weeks to 4 months. Another thing to consider is your own personal individual needs. Christian patients particularly may want to get into a rehab program that is Christian based. They feel like such a facility will provide them not only with recovery but also restore their Christian faith. Patients who are not Christians may also want to get proper

Christian counseling in addition to getting treatment

It goes without saying that budget is also a deciding factor when selecting a rehab facility that suits you. As a patient or the one who is footing the bill, you will typically go for a facility that is friendlier to your pockets yet offers good quality services.

If a patient has special needs, for example; if they are handicapped, they will consider certain needs. A rehab center that tends to handicapped patients or at least has handicapped enabled facilities like ramps is better suited to tend to them. There is also the choice between a local rehab and a rehab abroad. This is a personal decision to make. You, as the patient, will assess yourself and know which scenario provides you with the best chance of recovery. Some people choose to go to rehabs very far from home to avoid temptations of relapsing while some choose rehabs closer to home in order to feel like they are in familiar grounds and are welcomed.

Global Samaritans Launches Crowd Funding Campaign To Help Orphaned School Children In Africa

0
0
Global Samaritans was founded by husband and wife physicians Bo and Ruby Cheves in 2001 after they spent two years as missionary doctors and realized the need for an orphanage to care for the Zambian children who were losing their parents to the AIDS epidemic.

On a recent day, several boys walked down a dusty road in the southern Africa country of Zambia. They spoke of dreams of one day being a mechanic, a teacher, or a pilot. Just like boys everywhere, they saw a bright future full of accomplishment and adventure. They could not imagine the giant hurdles that are in the way of the Zambian child who wants to better his or her life through a higher education.

According to United Nations statistics, only 38% of boys and 36% of girls in Zambia attend high school. The literacy rate for young women in Zambia is 58.5%, with young men only slightly ahead at 70.3%.  Zambian government spending on education ranks 170th out of 173 countries ranked. These are dire statistics. However, Global Samaritans is an organization based in Union Point, GA – a small town east of Atlanta – that is doing something to reverse the trends.

A school bus plays a big role in their plans.

Global Samaritans was founded by husband and wife physicians Bo and Ruby Cheves in 2001 after they spent two years as missionary doctors and realized the need for an orphanage to care for the Zambian children who were losing their parents to the AIDS epidemic. They founded Global Samaritans Orphanage and immediately began to take in orphaned children. As the children grew older, the need for a high school education was clear. An important part of the mission statement for Global Samaritans is to overcome the dismal Zambian education statistics and “raise the next generation of Zambian leaders”. However, while the children are able to complete grades 1-7 in a school within easy walking distance of the orphanage and grades 8 and 9 at the school built on the orphanage grounds, high school grades 10-12 is only available by moving to a boarding school many hours away.

According to Erin Porter, Executive Director of Global Samaritans, boarding school is an expensive proposition. It also requires a frightening adjustment for the children. Porter says, “Imagine living through the pain of losing your parents and now being forced to leave your home, among people who love and care for you, and go to live in a boarding school many miles away.” She said that the children attending boarding school had to spend every day for 9 months of the year away from home.

Global Samaritans arrived at a solution. Attendance at a day school in the nearby city of Livingstone would allow the children to live at the orphanage and travel to school each day, returning each night. However, reliable transportation was needed. Global Samaritans therefore launched a GoFundMe campaign that has thus far netted over $4000 in donations toward obtaining a bus. The goal is to raise $50,000 in order to be able to purchase a quality dependable bus.

Porter says, “We are looking forward to getting the bus so that the children at our orphanage will not have to go to boarding schools. We will also be able to use the bus for high school sporting events, field trips, and other extracurricular events.”

Those who are interested in donating are encouraged to go to the GoFundMe campaign site at http://www.gofundme.com/globalschoolbus

Studies have Proven that Overcoming Drug Addiction through Christian Based Rehabs have longer lasting effects

0
0
Studies have proven that a faith based rehab program does have a longer lasting effect and impact, in terms of the recovery of the patient.
Drug addiction is one of the worst kinds of addictions to fall victim to. The drugs a person takes continually take a toll on your body’s physical health as well as mental health.

Introduction

Simply put, the effects of drug addiction have a direct impact on one’s private and public life. Christian teachings remind us that Christ can and will deliver all from worldly traps and bondage like addiction. By working through his people, Christ’s power gives strength to people to get into and continue walking the path of life free from addiction. Studies have proven that a faith based rehab program does have a longer lasting effect and impact, in terms of the recovery of the patient. Benefits of choosing a Christian based drug rehabilitation program far outweigh the demerits and some of these are explained in the next section.

Benefits of Using a Christian Based Drug Rehab Center

For one, it offers the addict or the patient both traditional rehab programs as well as programs based on the principles of Christian and Bible teachings. The patient is encouraged through Bible teachings and even given relevant biblical examples of people who might have gone through similar ordeals and the problems they suffered. This can be quite inspirational to the patient and only serves to restore the addict on the right path. Christian based rehab centers are not only meant for Christians, but they do accept even non-Christians in their programs. So there is really no discrimination while admitting patients. It’s open for all people who need help overcoming drug addiction.

Faith based programs look at addiction as spiritual and psychological in nature as opposed to the scientific approach which looks at it more like a physical problem. This is a refreshing approach given that drug addiction is something that affects the mind, mood and emotions of a person. It has a direct influence on a person’s decisions and as such should be given a fresh perspective. They also serve to restore lost flock or Christians who had lost their way back to the path of Christianity by strengthening their spirit and reminding them that Jesus accepts everyone who seeks him. Patients are also reminded of bible based teachings they might have forgotten through group and personal Bible studies, worship and counseling from pastors. The group based studies also boosts the patient’s self-worth and self-esteem. These kinds of teachings ensure that the recovery patient’s faith is strengthened and that they retain abstinence and avoid relapse even when they leave the center.

Ashley Madison’s Hack Reveals 39 Million Cheaters – Tim Patten’s New Book –“Why I Cheat” Explains Why Marriage Is A Failure

0
0
Tim Patten’s controversial book “Why I Cheat: Men, Marriage, and Cheating” reflects modern society. The book is intended as education for men about the toxic nature of marriage. It is not as much about cheating as it is about the failure of the ideology of traditional marriage.

San Francisco, California – September 1, 2015 – The recent hacking of Ashley Madison’s website revealed over 39-million member names. Maybe not all members are actual cheaters, it will never be known, but it is an indication of the failure of the institution of marriage. Many people have tried to come-up with a logical explanation of why so many marriages, at least 50%, result in divorce. Tim Patten has released his new book, “Why I Cheat: Men, Marriage, and Cheating”, in an attempt to add some clarity to the subject.

This is a compilation of several men’s stories on how they liberated themselves from the rigid constraints of societal standards; an enduring collective of “coming of age” campfire stories meant mainly for male ears. “Why I Cheat” is a collection of 11 real-life couples’ stories and how they traveled down unique pathways to achieve their desired career and relationship goals.

The book also lists over 400 reasons or obstacles men should consider before getting married, called the hook-up guide for men.

• Avoid complex traps of bad dates and marriage 

• Understand how monogamy stifles altruism and creativity  

• Enjoy a passionate occupation, helping yourself and others, and 

• Embrace your inner nature and sex drive. 

During a recent press conference, Tim made these comments, “Through this book, I want to speak up for men everywhere. Men do not have a women’s studies or a large political movement that educated men about violence, jealousy, power and marital ownership. So we use books and social media. Whether you’re seeking to liberate yourself from abuse, build societies new inventions, cope with jealousy, or just start having fun again, you can find a path that leads to freedom and victory in Why I Cheat.” Tim goes on to say, “Men, it’s time to fight back and to reclaim your independence. Freedom is here. This self-help guide contains life lessons and instructions for empowering yourself, escaping oppression by marriage, and enjoying more sex.”

“Why I Cheat” has created quite a buzz on the Men’s Forums and Blogs. Reader Testimonials have attested to why this 375-page book is hard to put down. It has become a must read for all men either married or unmarried. Take a look at what Marcus Brown, a verified reviewer on Amazon.com, had to say, “The stories in this book are written in such detail, and gives clear examples of the dynamics and turning points of relationships when women become controlling, violent, deceptive and selfish. After completing the book, the reader will have a clear understanding as to how men can slowly and subtly experience stress, heartache, loss of identity and self-worth while in harmful relationships with toxic women.”

New Nightline Service Provides Emotional Support to Students in Denmark

0
0

Most of us remember a point in our young adult years when we felt overwhelmed by the challenges of life that involved school, family or friends. You probably had the help of a trusted confidante to ease you through these troubled times. For many young people, there is just no one there for them; without the emotional support they require, many call succumb to serious emotional disorders like depression, substance abuse or, even, suicide. A service called Nightline offers troubled teens and young adults a social safety net which can help them work through their crises.

Nightline is a student-run organization that originated in the United Kingdom and has helped countless collegiate students. In the U.K., there are 36 Nightlines with partnerships with 90 universities, offering services to almost 1.5 million students. A new chapter is set to open in Denmark and will mirror the core principles of the parent organization which include confidentiality, anonymity, non-judgmentality, and non-directionality in both English and Danish. Nightline seeks to provide a safe and unrestricted space for students to openly express themselves without fear of judgment or bullying.

After working with the London branch of Nightline, Julia Florentine has initiated plans to establish a chapter in Copenhagen. With a collegiate community of almost 50,000 students, Denmark is a fertile ground for this type of student-run social service. In order to open this new chapter, the Nightline team will need a Coordinator, Assistant, volunteer training program, office space, and promotional programs, which will cost almost €135,000. In order to raise these funds, Julia and her team have sponsored a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo and is asking the international community to support this important and humanitarian project. Not only will you be rewarded with the satisfaction that you are helping to save the lives of Danish students, but you are also eligible for perks like Special Donor status, handwritten Thank You notes, or a meeting with the Coordinator.

Wood Kubb is an Elegant Replacement for Bulky, Ugly Computers

0
0

Almost every modern office is outfitted with a computer, and while they serve a useful function, they are often ugly and aesthetically unappealing. A French design company has developed an elegant computing solution that replaces these eyesores with a beautiful and highly functional computer, the Wood Kubb. The Wood Kubb is a compact computer that is encased in a natural wood shell, and possesses top flight features like an i3 or i5 processor, Wi-Fi, Windows 10 OS and HDMI ports. With the Wood Kubb, the once sterile work space will sport a elegant, natural aesthetic.

The Wood Kubb is the brainchild of veteran IT designer and executive Jean Christophe Agobert, who was inspired by a nature trip to integrate technology with natural materials. After three years of intensive research, design and testing, and collaboration with Intel, Jean developed the Wood Kubb. Consumers may choose components like processors, memory, and operating system, but the Wood Kubb comes standard with four USB ports, mini-display port, mini-HDMI port and Wi-Fi antennas. In its final design, the Wood Kubb is cubic, measuring less than five inches to a side and is encased in white ash, brown ash or elm.

Humanity First Expands Vocational Training Programs for Liberian Youth after the Ebola Epidemic

The African nation of Liberia is the oldest democracy on the continent with a rich history and traditions that stretch back more than a century and a half. Currently home to more than four million residents, Liberia – like many of its neighbors – has a large population that lives below the poverty line (85 percent). In the past decade civil war and recently the Ebola epidemic played a very antagonistic role for Liberia’s economic development. Humanity First is working in Liberia to promote personal economic development for Liberian youth by providing vocational training so young people can find meaningful jobs and expand their careers and means of livelihood. More than 800 Liberians have earned certifications as auto mechanics, electricians, construction workers, plumbers and air conditioning repairmen since the Humanity First school was established in 2011.

These graduates were able to attend and complete these vocational programs through educational subsidies supported by international donors and the efforts of volunteers. After completing these programs, these professionals can use these valuable skills to provide services in their communities, thereby earning a living wage for themselves and their families. Many of our graduates went on to find jobs in local corporations established in Liberia such as Liberia Electricity Corporation, Liberia Petroleum Refining Company, and Cellcom Mobile Services, while others established their own businesses. Each vocational training course is six months in length and is 70 percent subsidized.

In an effort to train more students in in-demand areas, Humanity First is planning to add courses in automobile operations and computer literacy. They are also updating labs to provide up to date practical training and refurbishing infrastructure to improve the educational environment. Graduates will be able to perform in a number of lucrative business environments after completing the training in their respective trades.

Humanity First is asking the public to help improve the lives of underprivileged Liberians by investing in their education. A small financial contribution to their Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign will help lift a family out of poverty and buoy an entire community by seeding transferable skills. In addition to receiving enormous satisfaction from helping the needy in this nation, when you donate to this project, you can also receive valuable perks like hats, T-shirts, shirt pins, memorialization plaques, or naming rights to a classroom.

Greenville, S.C. – Stesso LLC, a Greenville-based apparel start-up offering premium quality clothing products launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to introduce their inaugural sock collection and gather sufficient funds to meet initial manufacturing costs. The campaign will run from August 31 until October 5 and the company’s goal is to reach $4,000 in funding.

Stesso, whose design philosophy is deeply rooted in traditional southern styles with a blend of modern designs and cultural influences from around the globe, introduced eight sock designs as part of its launch collection. With product names such as “The Golden Boot,” “The Triple Play” and the “The Dream Team,” among others, Stesso also looks to sports for influence during the design process. Backers are able to pledge as little as $11 or as much as $1,000 depending on the reward they choose.

“We are very excited to have the opportunity to introduce our project after working relentlessly to develop it from concept to creation,” said Mario Cuadros, founder of Stesso. “Offering more than just socks, Stesso prides itself in providing an avenue for individuals to unveil their personality and create their identity.

Kickstarter is a funding platform where creative, innovative and imaginative projects are brought to life through the direct support of project backers. Backers that support a project on Kickstarter get an inside look at the creative process and get to choose from a variety of unique rewards offered by the project creator. Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing, meaning no one will be charged for a pledge towards a project unless it reaches its funding goal.

Other aspects about the company include the “Sock Madness Tournament,” which is a contest where college students can showcase their talents by submitting a design for an opportunity to have it displayed on a pair of socks while adding it to their professional portfolio.  Stesso is also committed to donating a percentage of their profits to various cancer organizations.

Illest Vapes Launches Smart Bluetooth Electronic Cigarette on Indiegogo

0

Dallas, TX – On August 24 2015, Jonathan Beck launched an Indiegogo campaign for Illest Vapes, the smartest electronic cigarettes available on the market today. 

“Our units are microprocessor-controlled with our patented electronics integrated with Bluetooth 4.0 technology which unlocks a host of features for users,” the creator explains, “This technology allows you to monitor how many puffs you take each day, how many cigarettes you would have smoked if you weren’t vaping, how much money you’re saving not smoking cigarettes, health benefits, and users can set plans to cut back on how much they smoke. Our graphs show you your smoking trends by day, week, month, or year so you can see how much progress you’re making.”

Not only can you track and monitor how much you smoke but in the app you can adjust the amount of vapor you get with each puff.  You can also view your battery life, atomizer resistance, voltage, and wattage. Simply open the app on your iPhone or Android device and the power is at your fingertips. Want to cut back? The app can help you control the amount of puffs you take by locking you out of your device once you reach a planned limit (if desired, you can unlock it within the app).

For this Indiegogo campaign, Illest Vapes is launching two new electronic cigarette models: Torpedo and #smokebomb

“The app is currently available in the Apple Store and in Google Play for Android devices. We have gone through rigorous product testing and development over the last year to ensure our product is ready for market,” says the team, “We have already invested a substantial amount of money to get us this far and now we need your help to finish. We want to upgrade our #smokebomb unit to 30 watts instead of 15 watts and go into mass production on both items and we can’t do it without you.” 

In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including an illestvapes.com sticker for $10, an early bird Torpedo for $45, or an early bird #smokebomb for $60. Vapor retailers can also pledge $425 for 10 Torpedoes at a discounted price, $575 for 10 #smokebombs at a discounted price and more!

CashBackHeaven.com Announces Its New CashBack Shopping App

0
0

RENO, NV – Sep 2, 2015 – CashBack Heaven, a CashBack Shopping Mall developed by  Very Important Relationships, Inc. (VIR)  one of the nation’s premier developers of merchant funded Internet CashBack Shopping Mall technology, today announced the launch of its new CashBack Shopping App, available in both the Google Play Store and iTunes App Store.

CashBack Heaven (http://cashbackheaven.com/) is a CashBack Shopping Mall featuring over 3,000 of the best known brand name stores on the Internet. If you can think of a .com store by name, chances are you will find them at CashBack Heaven offering you CashBack on everything you buy.

Additionally, CashBack Heaven’s 3,000+ stores regularly compete against one another in the mall which takes the form of “Hot Deal” sales promotions and “Promo Codes”. CashBack Heaven aggregates these special offers in a very easy to use section in the mall which features over 4,000 special offers available daily. And the best part is that all of these special offers pay CashBack to the shopping member; which makes this a better deal than the standard “special offers and coupon” deal sites available.  

“The CashBack Heaven Shopping App is one of the most convenient shopping tools ever developed for the mobile platform,” says Jody Tallal, CEO of Very Important Relationships, Inc. “This app allows members to quickly search for and compare prices on any product they want directly from the inventories of our 3,000+ national stores; which includes over 100 million products. It also allows them to quickly find special Hot Deal and promo Code offered by the stores in the mall.”

Searching for the exact product you want on the Internet can be cumbersome and time consuming. This is only magnified on the smaller mobile platform.

For example, if you input “4K TV” in Google, you will get over 85 million search returns which includes stores that sell 4K TVs, Wikipedia explaining 4K TV technology, forums discussing the pros and cons of 4K TVs, etc. That all great unless all you want is to just find stores that sell 4K TVs and compare the prices of the same model across all of the major stores on the Internet and earn CashBack.

So what happens if you put “4K TV” in the Product search field of the CashBack Heaven Shopping app? You get only listings of the products and stores that sell them as shown in the example below:

“This search results shows the exact same product for sale at twelve different stores in the mall with prices ranging from $2,299 to $3,999,” explains Tallal. “This is over a $1,500 price swing on the exact same product between these stores competing against one another! Who is today’s economy can afford to just buy something without comparing options with these types of price differentials?”

The app is free and if you are not already a member of CashBack Heaven, that is free as well. The app even lets you join CashBack Heaven from within the app so you can immediate use it after it is installed.

Another new feature in CashBack Heaven is its new CashBack Button Internet browser extension that alerts members when major search engines like Google Yahoo or Bing return CashBack Heaven mall stores in their search results that offer members CashBack. Once a member installs this extension on their Internet browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or I.E.), the search results on the aforementioned search engines will begin automatically displaying a CashBack icon and notice of the amount of CashBack available over every mall store that is returned in any search. All the member has to do to get their CashBack is click on that notice icon, which will open the stores site and award them CashBack on any purchases made.

The extension also knows anytime a member visits a store’s website directly without going through the mall first and drops down a similar notice when CashBack is available. Again all a member has to do to earn their CashBack is click on the dropdown banner notice. You can learn more about CashBack Heaven Cash Back Button by watching a short video at CashBack Button.

“CashBack Heaven is very excited about both its new CashBack Shopping App and new CashBack Button browser extension,” says Tallal. “These two new tools will ensure our members never miss earning CashBack again no matter how they choose to shop.”

Why Personalized Training Is More Effective In Achieving Health Goals

0
Sometimes aging individuals find themselves unable to maintain an exercise program despite having a gym membership for several months. To achieve the set objectives, a trainer is most beneficial. Personal trainers keep the individuals on the right track in order to get the best results and most out of their time in the gym or fitness center.
Setting new fitness goals is common among many individuals intending to improve overall body health.

Personalized training is the most effective way to reduce risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Sometimes aging individuals find themselves unable to maintain an exercise program despite having a gym membership for several months. To achieve the set objectives, a trainer is most beneficial. Personal trainers keep the individuals on the right track in order to get the best results and most out of their time in the gym or fitness center.

Benefits of Personalized Training:

Routine

Once an individual has reached the facility, the personal trainer understands where to begin based on the previous training. The trainer helps in creating a realistic routine that will encourage them to reach their fitness goals. Personalized training involves maximizing time in exercising, but not overwhelming workouts.

Nutrition, Health, and Fitness

For anyone to achieve training goals it is essential to understand nutrition, health, and fitness trends. With a personalized training program, a trainer keeps the trainee updated about the trending issues on nutrition and health. A diet suitable for someone may not be suitable for another person since levels of training might not be similar. A trainer is the only person to ensure trainees are given tips and tricks that will lead towards achieving healthier lifestyles.

Appropriate Training Techniques

Some people tend to rely on fitness magazines, but these cannot be as effective as a personalized training program whereby a trainer gives every kind of guidance. There are various techniques, but not all are suitable for every type of individual. With the help of a personal trainer, one can get immediate feedback concerning every type of technique attempted.

Maximize Training Time

The ability to burn more calories within a short period of time can be achieved through a personalized training program. Personal trainers also help people to learn how to do exercises on their own at home especially for those who don’t have time to visit the gym. The trainer will follow up to see the progress, and ensure every exercise is done right.
