Star and Crescent & Kings Necklace & Amulet

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (PRWEB) May 13, 2010

Recently, very rare 1 BC – 2 AD Gold artifacts symbolically named as “The Pleiades Star Crescent Necklace & Amulet” became internationally available for acquisition on KingsNecklace.com.

What is unusually rare about these artifacts is that the ancient pair represents the most Holy Symbol of ISLAM – The Crescent Moon and The Star and The Pleiades Star Cluster.

Although The Crescent and Star symbol is much older than Islam itself the appearance of it on ancient gold jewelry is very rare. The Necklace and Amulet is one of the earliest representations of this religious symbol in the form of ancient gold artwork with no analog known to exist.    

This artifacts’ scientific name “The Persian-Sarmatian Tribal King’s Ritual Gold Pectoral Necklace & Amulet” provides the insight into the great historical and archaeological importance of these two items.

Discoveries do not end here. The Necklace by itself is attributed to “The Pleiades Star Cluster” a group of Seven Stars in the constellation of Taurus that were well known celestial and mythological sights throughout antiquity.

Scientists also were able to discover an ancient technology that was hidden within the Necklace that no one knew existed at that time.

The complete attribution is available on KingNecklace.com where these artifacts are disclosed in their entirety, which is something the world community rarely gets to see outside museum walls.

The universe of ancient art and antiquity is a field of study and interest that has for many generations elicited huge excitement and a thrill for adventurers, treasure hunters and collectors alike.

Most great museums on the local, national and international levels all gather these unique and priceless treasures from the ancient world. This spans many civilizations that have graced our colorful common human history from all corners of the Earth.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 23, 2012

For travelers dreaming of checking “safari” off their bucket lists this year, there has never been a better time to choose Micato Safaris, the premier provider of luxury African safaris. For 2012, Micato has not only added enhanced off-the-beaten path active adventures and enriching, authentic experiences, but is has introduced a new policy: No Tipping. Ever.

Micato trips are already unmatched in their degree of included extras, from exceptional special events to educational enhancements, plus myriad little luxuries lavished upon guests throughout. Now, for the first time, all gratuities are included, even for the Micato staff: Safari Directors, Drivers and Concierges. It’s a revolutionary decision, perhaps even unprecedented in the realm of luxury tour operators. But Micato travelers told us that the practice of tipping was inconvenient. And we listened. With Micato, all-inclusive truly means everything is included.

Micato Safaris’ Newly-Enhanced Bespoke Collection: Exquisite bush homes, stunning eco-lodges, and exclusive ranches coupled with top-flight transportation already provide an unparalleled experience for those travelers who prefer to custom-design their adventure. But in 2012, we’re raising the bar even further:

New this year to Micato’s East Africa Bespoke Collection of prestigious properties is the Tawi Lodge. At the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli National Park, Kenya, Tawi effortlessly blends modern comforts with traditional African design. Each private thatched cottage is equipped with a fireplace and manned by a personal butler, and the wildlife viewing is spectacular. Nestled in an oasis of virgin wilderness beneath a grove of palms and figs, LeMarti’s Camp in the Laikipia region of Kenya is owned by a local Samburu guide and his renowned fashion-designer wife. The combination is electric, as his connection to the land and its peoples mingles with her elegant style and artistic skill to redefine luxury. Also new to the Collection this year is Ngerende Island in the Maasai Mara, where seven luxurious canvas and mahogany suites rest on raised platforms, providing perfect views of the Mara River and its sonorous hippos. Here as well a private butler stands ready, ensuring a hot bubble bath and roaring fire are awaiting after a wondrous day of viewing game in the Mara. On the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar, Micato’s guests at The Residence will enjoy dreamy views of the ocean or frangipani garden, private pools, and service fit for a sultan.

La Residence in Franschhoek, and Phinda Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal join Micato’s elite Southern Africa Bespoke Collection. Situated at the heart of a private working farm, La Residence is intimate and lush. The soothing ambience of each room feeds into the next, from the mellow glow of gold bathroom fixtures to the thick Persian carpets lining the rooms. The countryside is at the doorstep, where guests can indulge in a horse-drawn wine and cheese tour, or try paragliding or quad-biking, returning in the evenings to the last rays of the warming sun and farm-to-table haute cuisine. Dubbed the “Seven Worlds of Wonder,” Phinda’s wilderness is a dazzling amalgam of woodland, grassland, wetland, forest, mountain ranges, river courses and rare dry sand forest.

A Cape Town Sojourn: A beautiful mix of natural and man-made pleasures, Cape Town is Africa’s treasure for good reason. Now, Micato travelers can begin or end their safari with a few days in this magical city, with the 5-day Cape Town Sojourn extension. The Cape Grace is home here; ranked the No. 2 City Hotel in Africa and the Middle East by Travel + Leisure, its location on the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is in the center of everything. During their stay, guests will enjoy a full-day tour of the stunning Cape Peninsula, including visits to the Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Beach for penguin viewing, and the historic streets of Simon’s Town. Also included is a tour of the Cape Winelands, with prime vintages and exquisite cuisine at the magnificent Delaire Estate and shopping in the quaint village of Franschhoek. Another day brings guests deep into the culture of Cape Town, with a tour of Robben Island, where political prisoners including Nelson Mandela and current South African president Jacob Zuma were once held. Guests will also visit the inspiring Rosie’s Kitchen, where destitute children and elderly residents of the diverse Khayelitsha Township receive their meals. Helping out with this life-changing initiative will be a crescendo to your safari.

And, Speaking of Life-Changing… Micato-AmericaShare Turns 25 in 2012.

Seldom do travelers have an opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of the people whose lands they visit. Yet in Africa, every day for 25 years this miracle has taken place for travelers who join in the good works of Micato’s nonprofit foundation, AmericaShare (http://www.americashare.org). AmericaShare was founded by Micato Safaris with the education of orphaned and vulnerable children as its highest priority. One hundred percent of every donation reaches the children, since all administrative costs are paid by Micato. What began as an idea and a dream has grown into a vital foundation that has been changing lives for a quarter century!

Last But Definitely Not Least: Micato Renews Its One For One Commitment: Every guest’s safari enables Micato to do something wonderful: for every safari sold, Micato sends a child to school—a child who would otherwise stay home due to extreme poverty. An unimaginable number of African children do not attend school because their families are too poor to pay even the most nominal fees related to school attendance. Micato’s way of helping? A “One for One” commitment: For every safari sold, Micato sends one African child to school.

The #1 tour operator in the world, passionately dedicated to giving back… what better reason could one have for going on safari in 2012? To book a safari or for more information call 1-800-MICATO-1 or visit http://www.micato.com.

About Micato Safaris

Micato Safaris is a luxury tour operator offering safaris to East Africa and Southern Africa. Founded by native Kenyans Felix and Jane Pinto in 1966, the family company has garnered praise for both the high standards of its luxury safaris and the good works of its Nairobi-based non-profit arm, Micato-AmericaShare. Micato won a “World Savers” award from Conde Nast Traveler following the advent of its One For One Initiative, wherein for every safari sold Micato sends an African child to school. Micato has received the Travel + Leisure “World’s Best Tour Operator & Safari Outfitter” award an unprecedented eight times.

Spencer Dick, President & Founder, TigerStop LLC

Vancouver, WA (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

TigerStop LLC®, the global leader in stop-gauge and linear positioning systems with locations in the United States and the Netherlands, announces the appointment of Spencer Dick to serve on the International Trade Administration’s Industry Trade Advisory Committee’s Automotive Equipment And Capital Goods (ITAC2). The committee is a “unique public-private partnership jointly managed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Office of United States Trade Representative that engages business leaders in formulating U.S. trade policy.”

The Committee advises the Secretary and the United States Trade Representative concerning trade matters and functions solely as an advisory committee providing detailed policy and technical advice, information, and recommendations to the Secretary and the USTR regarding trade barriers, negotiation of trade agreements, and implementation of existing trade agreements affecting its sectors; and performs such other advisory functions relevant to U.S. trade policy as may be requested by the Secretary and the USTR or their designees.

“Serving on this committee gives me the opportunity to be a small voice for something I hold vitally important to the future of the U.S. economy,” said Spencer Dick, CEO of TigerStop. “A significant portion of our current crisis related to job growth and real income growth finds its roots in the dollar being the reserve currency of the world economy. If you want to buy oil or pay for imports or have a currency that will be accepted in the international market, you have to earn U.S. dollars. The low cost goods we buy from countries such as China are solely connected to earning American dollars. Our trading partners have figured out that as long as they have the same or more dollars coming into their country than they are paying out, they are ahead of the game. They are taking U.S. dollars and U.S. jobs to strengthen their economy. Our trading partners have been allowed to cheat and Americans suffer as they try to earn a living.”

While Mr. Dick’s viewpoint is not representative of those of the ITAC2 committee, he is optimistic that his 30 years of manufacturing and trade experience will offer solutions on rectifying the unfair trade practices which have damaged the U.S. middle class.

Mr. Dick’s company, TigerStop, develops products which are the gold standard for linear positioning systems and are used by woodworking manufacturers, metal, steel, and fenestration workers, welders, contractors, cabinet makers and others. The systems attach to new or existing equipment and move the stop or push the material to an exact dimension for processing. They provide solutions that eliminate set-up time, inaccuracies, excessive re-work, poor productivity, and low yield. And, with computer numerical control (CNC) technology, the TigerStop positions material to +/- 0.004” (+/- 0.1mm) with the touch of a button. With repeatable accuracy of +/- 0.004” and the upgradeable optimizing and defecting software, TigerStop products provide lean solutions to thousands of manufacturers from the smallest shop to the largest factory. TigerStop products take minutes to learn and are easy to use.

To learn more about the ITAC2 committee, please visit http://trade.gov/itac/committees/itac02.asp. To learn more about TigerStop, please visit http://www.tigerstop.com or 360.254.0661.

If you are with the media and would like to schedule an interview with Spencer Dick, please contact Linda Ferguson, public relations counsel, lcourtneyferguson(at)comcast(dot)net or 503-869-5827.

Lafayette, California (PRWEB) February 13, 2012

In 2011 the first of the baby boomer generation began turning 65 years old. Near daily stories in the media are generated about the issues, needs, impact, influence and sheer size of the eldest of our population. The growing discourse includes changes to retirement trends, the fact that the 55+ age group is the fastest-growing segment of entrepreneurs, the call to advertisers that they can no longer afford to ignore this audience, and announcements of new outlets catering to these demographics. From aging-in-place technologies to social and mobile media, to the spending power of grandparents, the overall wealth of opportunities in meeting the needs of this mature market is the purpose of the ninth annual What’s Next Boomer Business Summit, being held March 28 in Washington, D.C. There the country’s leading analysts, top researchers and executive strategists will gather to introduce new research, products and services, and to present the definitive ways to reach and successfully sell to baby boomers and senior consumers. It is the event to meet the entrepreneurs and brand teams pursuing the baby boomer customer, and learn the marketing strategies that work to reach them.

It opens with a keynote delivered by veteran political strategist Donna Brazile, on ‘Designing a Personalized Business Model for the New Economy’. Jody Holtzman, SVP of Thought Leadership Group at AARP will define and examine the entrepreneurial and market opportunities related to the new Longevity Economy. His keynote will unearth current economic activity related to the demographic phenomenon of people living longer, richer lives and will address areas where the needs and wants of Americans 45 and older are not being met. Also, he will present a new framework for approaching both the societal needs and economic opportunities related to a changing and vital population.

The event tracks will explore trends in the following areas, with agenda highlights:

    Innovation and frugality
    Baby boomers have the money and desire to bond with their grandchildren, but given today’s investment climate, will there be money in the future for them to inherit? Moderator Lori Bitter, President, Crew Media, will get Jodi Olshevski, Assistant VP, The Hartford, Robert Stephen, VP, My Home & Family Portfolio, IVS-Portfolio Management, AARP, and Sandy Timmermann, Assistant Vice President, MetLife and Director of the MetLife Mature Market Institute to tell what are the changes and choices in work, retirement, and for money protection that older adults can make to thrive in the age of lowered expectations.
    It is the mature consumer segment that is currently generating the most interest and excitement–grandparents. The grandparent economy is large (40 million), growing and lucrative. Grandparents are spending money on necessities, learning and luxury for their grandchildren. They are investing in tuition, tutoring, and technology. Missy Sullivan, Senior Editor of the Wall Street Journal’s Smart Money, and Robert Stephen, VP, My Home & Family Portfolio, IVS-Portfolio Management, AARP, identify the business ecosystem of brands baby boomers are embracing with this new role.
    Baby boomer women are the chief purchasing officers, chief caregiving officers, and chief healthcare officers for their families. They often influence purchase decisions in travel and investment for themselves and extended families. Myrna Blyth, Editor in Chief of ThirdAge.com shares insights from her inspiring panel of women in new media and business.

    Integrated media and marketing, social, mobile, gaming
