Childhood Obesity Rates Drop As A Result of Vegetable Spiral Slicer

Varietyland’s spiralizer hopes to succeed where other solutions have failed in reducing the numbers of overweight and obese children in the USA. The appearance of the vegetable spirals is intriguing for youngsters, results in creative and nutritious meals that children are willing to eat.

New York, United States – May 26, 2015 /PressCable/ —

The simple yet effective spiralizer from Varietyland is expected to make a significant impact in reducing the numbers of overweight and obese children in the United States.

The seriousness of obesity as a health condition is well documented and fully understood by most adults. Children however, do not necessarily realise the potential health risks and long-term effects of fatty and sugary foods that often lead them to become overweight and obese. It is the responsibility of the parents to introduce healthy meals that are appealing, nutritious and tasty to youngsters. The Very Healthy Spiral Slicer from Varietyland is set to make a difference through making vegetable based meals quicker and easier to prepare.

The Very Healthy Spiral Slicer is used by hand and twisted around the chosen vegetable in order to immediately, and almost effortlessly create thin and delicate ribbons. Zucchini is emerging as a popular vegetable to prepare in this way and the resulting ‘zoodles‘ – zucchini noodles, are used in a variety of carb and gluten free meals. Varietyland includes a complementary eCookbook with every purchase of the spiralizer, filled with healthy meals that are prepared in minutes with use of the spiral slicer.

In the last decade or so obesity has been a subject of great debate with many government and health organisations campaigning to raise awareness of the related health effects. Over the last 30 years, the numbers of individuals who are medically overweight or obese has been on the increase and today a staggeringly high number of both children and adults are affected. Healthy eating combined with regular physical activity is both the cure and the prevention, but encouraging people, and particularly children to switch to a healthier lifestyle is often easier said than done.

The Very Healthy Spiral Slicer and the included healthy meal ideas appear to be succeeding where other solutions have failed. “The spirals are fun and colourful to look at, which sparks an interest and curiosity in young children”, said Alvin Hung, CEO and Founder of Varietyland, who suggests the positive effects are likely due to a number of reasons. “The light and crisp results are subtle and sweet on the taste buds with an appealing crunchy texture. Ultimately, when prepared in this way, children don’t immediately associate the meal with unappealing and unappetizing vegetables.”

And the results of our work has garnered us the interest of not only our industry colleagues but potential clients seeking the best work in the business.

As we look to the months ahead, the biggest team of employees will be in the digital traffic department. We are in the process of hiring more and more. We have also replaced our Head of Programmatic with yet another star – she has both TV and analysis background and has been working within programmatic the last couple of years.

The jury’s citation read as follows:

“The winner in the category Mixx Awards Best Campaign Branding has both expert creativity and sublime efficiency considering their given topic (text and drive: dangerous automobile behavior). But, with humor, HowCom made it interesting with a new concept that exemplifies clear proof of company success and digital prowess. With multi-channel strategy in digital channels and with extreme outcome, the campaign has paradoxically succeeded in precisely the channels it turns against, but only in the given situation, “Sluta Rattsurfa”! (Stop texting on your mobile while driving)”

Additionally, HowCom placed third in the Swedish Agency of the Year Stockholm Media Week awards for 2015, bested by fellow UCP Company 3Kronor Communications.

Untitled Document

HORSHAM, PA / ACCESSWIRE / May 26, 2015 / Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care, the transmission and auto repair brand that services almost any make or model vehicle, foreign or domestic, recently recognized several outstanding franchisees and employees at its annual convention in Myrtle Beach, SC.

“These dedicated people represent the best of the best,” said Cottman President Randy Wright, recognizing franchisees, managers and technicians from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, North Carolina, Kentucky, Colorado, Oregon, Wisconsin, Michigan, Texas, Virginia, Illinois, Florida, and South Carolina.

Ozzie Bombaro, owner of the Cottman franchise in Woodbury Heights, NJ, and part owner of the center in Lansdale, PA, received the President’s Award for Excellence. “Ozzie has demonstrated integrity, honesty, loyalty, success, courage, diligence and trustworthiness during his outstanding tenure with Cottman,” said Wright. “This award recognizes him as the standard by which all others shall be measured.”

The Cottman Man Award, given to the franchisee with the highest gross sales for the previous year, went for the second consecutive year to brothers and partners Randy and Rusty Cato, who operate the Cottman center on Erhardt Blvd. in New Orleans, as well as centers in Gretna, LA and La Place, LA.

The Founders Award, named for the Cottman founders, was presented to Rick White, Cottman of Raleigh, NC. The award is given to an individual who has overcome adversity. Rick has been a Cottman man since 1997, when he opened his first center in Durham, NC. He took over his current shop in Raleigh in 2000 and has built the business steadily to one of the top ten centers within the network. A large percentage of his business comes from repeat customers and referrals, which he prides himself on consistently giving the best service to his customers.

Jim Dietvorst, Cottman of Denver and Cottman of Wheat Ridge, was named Person of the Year. He opened his first Cottman center in Denver 12 years ago and 6 years later added a second in nearby Wheat Ridge, CO. In addition to consistently being among the chain’s best performers, the proud Navy veteran works hard to give back to the community. Jim and his workers participate in “extreme community makeovers” where volunteers go into a neighborhood and help with exterior clean-ups and painting, and they also support a local women’s shelter, a youth anti-gang program and the local food bank.

Mike Morrison, Cottman of Spartanburg, SC, was named The Transmission Physician. The winner of this award is Cottman’s representative to the world “I AM COTTMAN!” Successful in their own center, always there to help their fellow Cottman owners, and have an outstanding relationship with their own customers.

Greg Hulce in Cottman of Louisville was named Manager of the Year, one of the chain’s highest honors. Hulce exemplifies the highest standards in professionalism, dedication and sales.

The Top National Account Development award is being given to 2 outstanding franchisees, Jim Harrington in Cottman of Mauldin, SC, and Bob and Cindy Cowie in Cottman of Norfolk, VA. This honor is awarded for being proactive owners that work hard to acquire these types of accounts, and for striving to make national account customers satisfied and keep them coming back on a regular basis.

The Top Business to Business Customer Development award was given to 3 Cottman franchisees that have shown a strong commitment and ability to develop and nurture these types of accounts. In the past year they have added new business while maintaining existing accounts. The franchisees given this award are Jim Dietvorst in Cottman of Denver/Wheat Ridge, CO, Rick White in Cottman of Raleigh, NC, and Don Lenartz in Cottman of Grand Rapids, MI.

The Technical Proficiency Award is given to those technicians who have shown an exceptional technical knowledge of the automotive industry. This year it was awarded to David Earp, Cottman of Trenton, NJ, and Ted Reinert, Cottman of Woodbury Heights, NJ.

Fourteen Cottman centers were honored for providing a consistently outstanding level of customer service. They are Cottman of Denver and Cottman of Wheat Ridge in Colorado; Cottman of Trenton in New Jersey; Cottman of West Mifflin in Pennsylvania; Cottman of Stroudsburg in Pennsylvania; Cottman of Beaverton in Oregon; Cottman of Racine in Wisconsin; Cottman of Grand Rapids in Michigan; Cottman of The Woodlands in Texas; Cottman of Richmond in Virginia; Cottman of Gladstone in Missouri; Cottman of Mundelein in Illinois; Cottman of Fern Park in Florida and Cottman of Vancouver in Washington.

“It takes incredible dedication and hard work, coupled with leadership and management skills and a true sense of community service to be successful in this business,” said Wright. “The recipients of these awards are outstanding examples of what is good about the service industry and the core values that make Cottman a leader in its field. They are truly their neighborhood Cottman Man within the respective communities.”

FAA Approves Part 142 Training Center To Provide Innovative ATP CTP Program

May 26, 2015 – – AeroStar Training Services has announced that it has received approval from the FAA for an in-house Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certification training program (CTP). The new program officially became a requirement in commercial pilot training in August of last year, and now, any new pilots who wish to achieve their ATP certification will be expected to complete it in order for them to qualify to fly a commercial aircraft.

The AeroStar ATP CTP program was created to give their aviation students a better chance to achieve their goals for a career in commercial aviation. The customized training program was designed to assist them in meeting many of the challenges and overcome obstacles that may get in the way of their becoming safe pilots.

Company representative David Santo says that they have been working in conjunction with the FAA to develop a kind of program that is not only cost effective but can still meet the stringent requirements needed to earn the certification. He says:

“We provide training that meets FAA requirements and more importantly, produces safe pilots who are ready to meet the challenges they will find in the air AND on the ground.”

Students who participate in the course will be expected to pass a written exam and spend a portion of their course hours in a flight simulator. After successfully completing these aspects of the program, graduating students will be qualified for type rating and the ATP CTP certifications as well. With these credentials, they’ll be considered highly qualified candidates for more positions as pilots.

There is also a 4-day ground school aspect to the training program. Through the ground school, any affiliates or partner institutions that also want to offer this program will be provided with instructors and materials so that students will be able to complete their requirements on site. Santo explains one of the reasons for the development of this new approach to flight training:

“We understand that airlines, flight schools and students need to meet this challenge, so we are doing what we can to provide quality, flexible training programs that meet their needs within time and expense parameters.”

He points out that there are some airlines like Lufthansa and Emirates that have already embraced the new school program and have already begun the recruiting process from the pool of students who have been able to meet their qualifications. These types of partnerships between AeroStar, the different airlines, and flight schools make it possible to create customized programs that can meet the challenges that may come up in a constantly changing aviation environment.

The company was formed by a group of experienced pilots dedicated to providing students with state of the art aviation training that would incorporate realistic scenarios for its students. Its goal is to provide excellent flight training for its pilots using the most advanced technology and equipment possible so that students will be better able to handle the challenges that they may have to face as a commercial pilot.

Anyone who might be interested in getting the ATP CTP may contact the company directly for more detailed information and with assistance on whether or not they would be the right fit for this career choice.

NSAV Announces a Change in Management

PORT JEFFERSON, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 26, 2015 / Net Savings Link, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NSAV) today has provided details through its CEO, Steven Baritz, on an immediate change in its management, effective immediately.

“Effective immediately, NSAV announces the termination of David Pecoraro, and he is no longer authorized to act, speak, or write in any capacity whatsoever on behalf of Net Savings Link, Inc., or on any of NSAV’s wholly owned subsidiaries, including Pyrotree, Inc.,” said NSAV’s CEO, Steven Baritz. Mr. Baritz continued, “Mr. Pecoraro’s business philosophy and personal demeanor became incongruous, insubordinate, and antagonistic with the stated objectives, team members, and development of NSAV and Pyrotree’s growth paradigm, and he no longer retained the continued confidence of any of the directors of Pyrotree.” “It should be noted,” said Baritz, “that this decision was a collective decision that took place over several days between all of the Pyrotree Directors and the CEO of NSAV, and the decision to terminate Mr. Pecoraro was a unanimous one.”

In a joint statement, the directors of Pyrotree Inc. ,Christopher Dell’Olio, Hilart Abrahamian, and Billy Bateman, said, “As a result of an ongoing disagreement and conflict between Mr. Pecoraro’s personal demeanor and business ideology with the rest of the executive and management team of NSAV and Pyrotree, his continued presence created a tenuous environment that became counterproductive, and he effectively lost the complete support of the entire management team of Pyrotree, and can no longer function effectively in his role, or any other role within NSAV or Pyrotree, Inc.”

Mr. Baritz continued, “It should be noted that Mr. Pecoraro’s dismissal will not have any deleterious or adverse effect on any previously released public announcements of the expected timelines or growth trajectories of NSAV or Pyrotree, Inc. , or any of Pyrotree’s product lines or developments, including WebJoint, and Pinjoint, and daily progress is still ongoing and underway with those product channels, along with other product channels that are also in development, which will be announced in subsequent public releases when it is appropriate to do so.” For any shareholder or investor relations questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at IR@Pyrotree.com.

Expert Weighs In On The Importance Of Aircraft Logbooks To An Aircraft’s Resale Value

May 26, 2015 – – Larry Hinebaugh of V-Log Aircraft Digital Logbook spoke recently about the impact that keeping maintenance logbooks can have on the resale value of an aircraft. He points out that this is a commonly known fact that should be understood by all aircraft owners, especially those who plan to sell their aircraft at some point in the future. It doesn’t matter what type of aircraft it is, its design, or how old it is. Even across those differences, it is the thoroughness of the record keeping that is the most important to a buyer.

He explains that even if an owner is diligent in maintaining his craft and keeping it in optimum condition, many sellers will make the conclusion that “if it’s not in the logbooks, it didn’t really happen.” The logbook entries will answer the many questions that a future owner may be wondering about. Buyers want to know if maintenance was done, how it was done, when, where, and by whom. Most will want to know the reputation of the repair company and whether or not they are considered a reputable.

Condit points out that “up to 30% of an aircraft’s value can depend on the condition and completeness of the aircraft’s paper logbooks.” Once people realize that an aircraft’s resale value can be negatively impacted by how well the owners maintain the logbooks, they will be more inclined to keep better records during the time they own their craft.

In a recent article in the company blog, Aircraft Maintenance Logbook Best Practices, aircraft broker Brian Chase explained that missing logbooks can raise serious doubts in the buyers’ minds. It may give them cause to doubt whether or not there is a damage history of the aircraft or that there is a hidden reason why the aircraft logbooks are missing. As a result, they may resort to consulting the FAA to determine if there has been any major repair work or alterations done on the craft, but there is no guarantee that they will find the aircraft’s history their either.

Aircraft buyers need to be extremely cautious when purchasing an aircraft, so in response to a lack of maintenance records, they may opt to not make the purchase. Condit suggests that for the responsible aircraft owner, it is important that they don’t maintain the aircraft logbooks themselves. Instead, he suggests that they find a neutral third party professional to take care of this matter for them.

He adds that while many people fear that seeing a damage report in a logbook could kill a sale, this is not always the case. Still, while it may not be the deal breaker expected, it can definitely narrow down the pool of buyers. However, the pool could literally dry up if owners choose to leave the information out entirely.

For many people, the idea of maintaining logbooks can be an arduous task, but if one is seriously considering ways to preserver their aircraft resale value, it is something that every aircraft owner should take advantage of.

ABCI Announces Aviation Industry’s Master Storyteller Will Be Guest Speaker At Monthly Webinar On Aviation Content Marketing

May 26, 2015 – – ABCI has recently announced that they will have aviation industry’s master storyteller, Robert Mark, joining them as a guest speaker at their monthly webinar on Aviation Content Marketing. Company spokeswoman Paula Williams says that because content marketing is “another term for great storytelling,” his expertise in this area will be invaluable.

His chosen topic for discussion will be, “how to communicate ‘your story’ to the people that matter to you,” and will focus on many common questions that many might be asking in regards to aviation marketing. Williams encourages those who plan to participate in the webinar to be prepared with their own questions that Mr. Mark will be able to answer directly.

To start with, the webinar will discuss several pertinent issues that are frequently of concern to many aviation companies. Mark will give advice about what to say when they have to speak with the media; how marketing reps and business owners should approach the media when they want to share their stories; what the media would consider to be newsworthy, the difference between a good and a bad story, and how to tell it well. This is a great opportunity for participants is to tap into Mark’s experience and use it as a guide to improve a business’s “newsworthiness” and interest in a specific story.

Robert Mark is the publisher of his own aviation blog, JetWhine.com. He is also an editor at AIN Safety Week, and the CEO of Commavia. He has been recognized and quoted in a number of aviation-related stories, and considered to be an expert in the field of content marketing for aviation.

Williams indicated in a recent blog, “The latest marketing technique known as ‘content marketing’ is really just another term for the time-honored tradition of great storytelling.” While many people may not feel that they have a storytelling experience that is worthy of attracting attention, she points out that a story does not need to be a history making event in order to make an impact. Smaller, more trivial stories can actually have a bigger influence on the day-to-day successes that an individual may experience. The point, she says, is “when you need to persuade someone of something, often, the most effective way is not with raised voices or exhortation or ‘swinging your helmet at people,’ quoting the story of a superior officer chastising his subordinate for being late. Sometimes the story, well told, can be just as effective as the actual event in making a point.

Williams believes that the key to successful storytelling does not necessarily lie in the information people deliver as much as in the manner in which they deliver it. So, when businesses decide to implement a content marketing strategy, they should apply the same principles that one would apply when creating an effective storyline.

It is recommended that all those who plan to participate in the upcoming webinar, be prepared with a list of questions that they can use to incorporate in the discussion. This way, they can get advice directly from Mark.

For those who are not scheduled to be a part of the webinar or would like more information, the company can be contacted directly for additional details.
