Decatur, AL Author Publishes Novel

No Place to Hide, a new book by Ed Higdon, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Most people would have written off Richard Barton, a convicted barn burner recently released from a stint in the state pen. But most people also would have written off the Martin family after an accident confined James to his bed and left the family unable to pay the note on their farm held by a ruthless local businessman. Fate brought the two lost causes together, and it would be up to them to turn their fortunes around.

With an unwavering faith in God and their own work ethic, Richard and the Martins set out on a bold, new path together, seeking to turn the farm around and earn fresh starts. Will they succeed and survive as one big, happy family, or will the ghosts of Richard’s checkered past eventually catch up with him?

A Romance Lovers Fantasy Featuring The Longest Love Seen Written In The History Of Literature


The Fallows Hike Across America

Irwin, PA. June 2, 2018 “I Pray that this book will inspire us all to form a relationship of love to our world… for the greatest invention that this world could ever discover is love and harmony for all nations to gather together to save our precious earth before we lose the chance,” expresses author Aaron Ross in his newly released book. The Fallows, a powerful display of his literary prowess, presents a heartrending love story in a form of a living love story, the longest American epic love poem ever written in the history of literature, one that features what the author declares to be the longest love scene that has ever been written in the history of literature throughout the nations of the world.

In The Fallows, one man goes on a quest to find his lost love facing not only the gods themselves but also humanity and the forces of nature. In a spiritual adventure the man inspires not only the gods but also the people of the earth to save the world from global warming, war, famine, disease, and abuse. Together the gods and mankind join hands to call forth the evils of the world back into Pandora’s Box, which was once released into the world by the mighty Zeus because Prometheus stole fire from Mount Olympus and gave it to man.

Aaron Ross will be hiking across the United States of America beginning September 11th from New York City to Los Angeles California carrying a United States flag and a Peace Flag to add more inspiration to the words of the poem The Fallows to its readers. Embedded in the poem itself are allegorical pieces to his hike across the United States of America that will add more inspiration to the poem. Aaron Ross will hike across the United States for love to inspire the nations and the people of the world to gather for love to save the earth from global warming, famine, disease, poverty, and abuse.

Aaron Ross filled a jar of water with the sunrise in the New York City by the Statue of Liberty and will carry this ocean water across the United States to be poured in the Pacific Ocean in Los Angeles in California with the sunset. The jar of water poetically represents the hope that still lies in the hearts of mankind. The hike has taken 7 years just as the seven parts of The Fallows bringing The Fallows to life forever before the univers. The 2,679 miles turns The Fallows into a living love story transforming the readers of The Fallows into the characters of the book by inspiring lovers to come together to heal the world from global warming, the energy crisis, terrorism, disease, famine, poverty, human trafficking, racism, and domestic abuse. Readers will follow an eye-opening journey into the human self, the many facets of love, the pains of humanity’s past, and the ills of society. While it is set in a fictional realm, The Fallows presents a tale that tells so much about today’s world.

Man Disguises As Woman To Get Cheaper Auto Insurance


Increasing auto insurance premiums is making life difficult for Canadians. It is expensive to insure a car, but it seems customers can go the extra mile to ensure the best rate, including pretending to be a woman. Women usually pay less on average than men for auto insurance, so one resident in Alberta decided to use this to his advantage.

Identified only as “Anotherlink421” on Reddit, the man was quoted $4517 for his auto insurance coverage. He decided to ask his broker if it would have been more affordable if he was a woman. The answer was yes, in fact he would save $1094.

So, he decided to effectively change his sex, at least in a legal way. It is worth noting that Anotherlink421 did not have a sex change and does not live as a woman. However, he decided to identify as a woman in Alberta, which also includes changing gender on his birth certificate and driver’s license.

He described the process of doing so in a Reddit post, and it was shockingly easy to do.

“To change my gender on my auto-policy I needed to change my gender on my Driver’s License. To change my gender on my driver’s license I first needed to amend it on my birth certificate. So I called the Government of Alberta and they said they’d send me the forms to get the process started. After that she said they will send me another batch of forms which included a requirement being a physician must write a letter saying that I am a woman. I thought I was stopped right there. I don’t want surgery! I thought gender was a state of mind in Canada and Alberta now. I was let down, but thankfully I was mistaken. Gender is a state of mind in Canada and therefore Alberta. I approached this sub in a post telling you guys how my shortly lived endeavor came to an abrupt end. I thought having to see a physician implied I had to have surgery. Silly me /s. The folks over at r/Mensrights directed me to a video of Lauren Southern (also Canadian) doing the exact same thing. r/Mensrights sub further convinced me that doctors are obligated to write me the letter I want. It’s dumb: they are medical doctors, not psychologists. As the form stated, I was allowed to change my Sex if my gender didn’t match my body. Doesn’t make much sense. But whatever. I followed the requirements: one being the doctor’s letter, and two getting an affidavit notarized. The whole process was easy. Overall, it costed me ~$100 to change my gender.

I am now a woman. I wasn’t one last year. As you could see, I received my new birth certificate that states I am officially a woman. After I changed my gender on my driver’s license (and also my Alberta Health care coincidentally) I called up my insurance company and they adjusted my rate. I now pay $1100 less for auto-insurance. I won. The end.”

Reddit.com
So, Anotherlink421 is now a woman in a legal sense, even if he lives and identifies as a man. Whether the whole thing is worth it just to get cheaper auto insurance is an interesting question. More fantastic is the idea that it was so easy to do and the insurance company can do nothing about it.

Considering the issues surrounding gender politics and identification at the moment, it is perhaps in bad taste to change gender without the emotional connection. Still, it is arguably the most bizarre example of playing the system against itself we have seen this year.

President of VantagePoint Trading Software Speaks Live on Fox Business About Continued Market Volatility Due to Trade Concerns

– Lane J. Mendelsohn, President of VantagePoint Software made an appearance on Fox Business this morning to speak about recent trade concerns and the future of the markets. Using patented Artificial Intelligence technology, Vantage Point can predict stock market trends and trend changes.

Mendelsohn was invited to speak live first thing this morning on Fox Business, about the current state of the market and if his software, VantagePoint predicts continued market volatility due to recent trade concerns. VantagePoint predicted the historical market drop that occurred this past January and Lane explained how the software made these predictions.

“We were able to predict the market drop back at the end of January because we take a unique approach to technical analysis. We are not just looking at a single stock or a single index in isolation, but rather we’re looking at the broader global perspective,” said President Lane Mendelsohn.

VantagePoint software looks at commodity prices, interest rates, currency prices, international indices and looks at the shifts between those markets by pattern recognition, using artificial intelligence technology to make forecasts. Based on VantagePoint’s current forecasts on the Dow, the Nasdaq and the S&P and after analyzing all the global market data, VantagePoint is forecasting the overall market trend to go up. While it is showing signs of some short-term weakness and volatility which is expected, the overall trend is expected to go up.

Lane was asked to comment on President Trump’s recent input on the markets. Lane’s response was that he thinks what is happening is simply part of a negotiation strategy for some renegotiation of trade deals and despite the trepidation and uncertainty going on right now, there is no need to worry. President Lane Mendelsohn added, “I think we’ll have a lot more clarity by the end of this week. But I do have a lot of confidence based on the jobs numbers that came out on Friday, that the economy is very strong and with analyzing all the global market data that our VantagePoint indicators have been analyzing, everything is still very bullish. From a technical perspective, everything looks very strong.”

Worldwide Industrial Equipment Manufacturers Turn to China’s Rochehandle for Quality, Affordable Industrial Handles

June 4, 2018 – When it comes to what is used most, which means it needs to be of high, dependable quality, in industrial equipment many companies will point towards their industrial handles being a top concern.

Physicians Invented Aural+, Intended To Improve Hearing


June 4, 2018 – American company, based in Boston, Massachusetts, announced their first product – Aural+. The product is designed in form of powder, packed in 7 sachets. Aural+ is intended to restore hearing without surgery and provide a natural cleaning of the ear canal from secretions.

According to the statistics, hearing loss affects 360 million people worldwide, and 32 million of them are children. When the condition involves inner ear cell death, deafness is irreversible. In this case, the therapeutic strategies for hearing loss include hearing aids and implantable devices, but not all patients can benefit from them. But when hearing reduction is caused by aging, trauma, or temporary illness, it can be treated easier. In such cases, supplements as Aural+ could be a good solution.

The active ingredient in Aural+ composition is Maltodextrin, which fills the body with glucose and gives energy. Maltodextrin also has a beneficial effect on the body and lowers cholesterol levels. A complex of 39 herbal extracts are also part of product’s composition. Herbs are specially selected to relieve pain and inflammation, to aid in recovery of the hearing apparatus,and fight chronic bacterial ear infections. In addition, Aural+ formula is enriched with B group vitamins (help maintain normal hearing, help strengthen the walls of blood vessels, and improve metabolic processes in cells of the ear) and Vitamin C (creates normal blood circulation within the ear, participates in the process of cartilage formation and their regeneration in case of damage).

Manufacturer has already released Aural+ on the Asian online market. Within short period of time the product will be available worldwide.

Demand and Salaries soar for IT Pros according to Janco


Park City – UT- www.e-janco.com – Demand and salaries soar IT Pros according to Janco – Hiring is on a definite upswing for IT Pros and acceleration of salaries and use of contractors/consultants increases as many IT jobs go unfilled. Janco just revised its forecast for new IT jobs to be created in 2018 to 82,700. The CEO of Janco Associates, Inc., Mr. M. Victor Janulaitis said, “The impact of the rapidly recovering economy is driving a significant increase in demand for IT professionals as more organizations are expanding the use of e-commerce and blockchain applications. CIOs have the green light to expand budgets and staffing. The prospects for a trade war has not yet had an impact on those plans.” He added. “Overall we hear that regulations like GDPR for the EU and cyber attacks are driving the demand for more individuals in security roles and development for mobile device applications which enhance security and processing of Internet-based transactions.”

The President announced, “Janco’s 2018 Mid-Year Salary Survey, which will be released in the next few days, shows that the median salary for all IT professionals is now $90,971 – up 4.35% from the same time last year.”

In addition, he said, “With 15,700 net new IT jobs in the last 3 months, we believe that many IT pros who have stayed with their companies thru the last several years will begin to look for new and better opportunities. IT staff attrition rates will be a major concern for many CIOs and IT Managers.”

The CEO added, “A good example of the increased demand for IT Pros is the demand for Information Security Analyst with many working on GDPR and security complaince issues. In our review of over 104 large and mid-sized organizations, we found that fully one-third are not yet compliant with GDPR which is required to be in place by the end of May.” He added, “With the increased dependence on the Internet and cloud processing the exposure that enterprises face can only be mitigated by filling that role with qualified individuals. As a result, salaries for experienced Information Security Analysts and the newly required position of Data Protection Officer (for GDPR) are sky-rocketing and are well over $100K.” He added, “Preliminary results of our 2018 Mid Year IT Salary Survey show that the media salary for all IT professionals is now $90,971.

In support of that demand, Janco has released a 5 plus page job description for the Data Protection Officer and Information Security Analyst.

Janulaitis said, “Most of the C-level executives Janco has interviewed are expecting a booming economy. They are planning for extensive growth and expansion. The only part of the IT job market that is not doing well is that of telecommunications sector which has lost over 20,900 jobs in the last 12 months.”

Janco is an international consulting firm that follows issues that concern CIOs and CFOs and publishes a series of IT and business infrastructure HandiGuides® and Templates including a Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Template, Security Template, IT Job Descriptions, and its semi-annual IT Salary Survey.

Treetop Adventures Announces Grand Re-Opening Event On June 9Th, 2018 To Celebrate Its Brand New Adventure Park


CANTON, MA June 4, 2018 – TreeTop Adventures, Greater Boston’s Largest Zip-line and Climbing Adventure Park, announces the Grand Re-Opening celebration for a NEW Adventure Park, Saturday June 9th with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 3pm. The new park remains located in Canton MA at the Irish Cultural Centre, and features several new and exciting elements including 20 zip-lines, new bridges, a “Tarzan Swing” into a Cargo Net, the “Leap of Faith”, the “Skateboard in the Sky”, and an all new low ropes course for Team Building group outings.

Kids, teens, adults, families and groups have been happily zipping through the trees since TreeTop Adventures opened in 2016. Boston Magazine recognized Treetop as “Best of the New” outdoor attractions, and TreeTop Adventures has received a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor for its 5 star rating.

“We’re so excited by the customer feedback – we’ve got some incredible new innovations in our trails, more zip-lines, and the customers are absolutely loving it!” said owner Chris “Topher” Kerr. “As the summer heats up, TreeTop Adventures is the place to be – it is “cooler” under the Trees!”

The Grand Re-opening will feature special $39 pricing all day to celebrate TreeTop’s 3rd summer season. Just 20 minutes south of Boston, TreeTop Adventures is a summer bucket list “must do” for outdoor adventure enthusiasts.

About TreeTop Adventures
Located at 200 New Boston Drive in Canton, TreeTop Adventures is an “Adventure Park” – a new concept of self-guided ropes park that includes both zip lines – those cables that one rides across from tree to tree – as well as a series of different “challenge bridges” between tree platforms.

The park’s 20 zip lines and over 100 bridges are connected in a series of different “treetop trails.” Customers can choose from ten of these different color-coded trails ranging from beginner to expert so there are suitable challenges for both beginners as well as more experienced climbers and seasoned athletes.

Customers, known as “climbers,” wear safety harnesses, doubly secured to cables throughout their time in the trees. The harnesses employ an “always locked on” climbing system of interlocking carabineers (coupling links). Climbers receive a thorough orientation session before going on the trails, which are designed for self-discovery, making lessons otherwise unnecessary. Park Monitors are always available for questions or assistance.

TreeTop Adventures welcomes groups, such as school trips, camp trips, scouting events, birthday parties, family reunions, and teambuilding events. Special rates are available for groups.

TreeTop Adventures has free parking, and free picnic tables. Spectators are welcome to observe the “climbers” for free, and there are many benches for those with mobility issues.

Partnership with the Irish Cultural Centre
TreeTop Adventures zip-lining and climbing park is built on 3 acres of land on the Irish Cultural Centre Campus. To celebrate Irish heritage, each of the 10 trails at TreeTop Adventures is named after historic Irish or Celtic landmarks such as Giant’s Causeway, Ha’Penny Bridge, and the Cliffs of Moher.

Irish Cultural Centre Executive Director Greg Jackson said “We’re delighted that TreeTop Adventures has re-opened for the 2018 season with a new course. The Irish Cultural Centre is known for fun and safe family activity, and the kids and adults seem to walk a little taller after climbing at TreeTop.”

Eco-Friendly, Outdoor Fun for Kids, Teens, Adults, Groups
TreeTop Adventures is an eco-friendly attraction that encourages appreciation of nature and enjoyment of healthy play in the outdoors. Tree-friendly construction techniques are used employing cables and wedges to secure the platforms, rather than bolts or nails, helping the trees to remain healthy. Professional arborists maintain the trees and overall forest property along with TreeTop Adventures staff.

Operating Hours
TreeTop Adventures will be open during the summer seven days a week. See website for daily hours and seasonal changes. After Labor Day, TreeTop Adventures will be open weekends and holidays, and mid-week for groups of 12 or more. The Park is closed during the winter. For updates and the latest news visit the TreeTop Adventures website: www.TreeTopCanton.com.
