Newburyport, Mass. (PRWEB) February 03, 2012

Speedboard USA and Zurn Yacht Design announce its exclusive partnership to build high-performance stand-up paddleboards (SUP), delivering better hydrodynamics, aesthetics and athletic performance for avid paddlers, cross-trainers and SUP enthusiasts.

Zurn Yacht Design, headed by design authority Doug Zurn, has launched more than 150 distinctive power and sailing yachts, resulting in an intense knowledge of water craft rigidity, flex and behavior. Zurn brings advanced computer design tools to allow for state-of-the-art mold fabrication, which translates into accurate and high quality boards.

With plans to hit New England retailers in early spring, Speedboard will offer a variety of boards that maximize glide and improve the paddle experience. A 4.2M Elite (14’), 4.2M Elite Lightweight (14’), 4.9M Unlimited Lightweight (16’), and a 6M Unlimited Elite (20’) board are among those presently being planned for release.

“Doug Zurn designs beautiful boats with art, tradition, efficiency, and technology at his side,” said Bob Blair, Speedboard founder. “He offers a fresh perspective that we haven’t found in the paddleboard market. Speedboard is confident that this partnership will raise the bar in the product marketplace.”

“Because Speedboards are aimed at the performance side, we offer advanced designs that combine space age materials with a unique perspective of the sport and the needs of the athlete,” said Zurn. “Strong, yet agile…light-weight, yet forceful.”

Based in Newburyport, Mass., Speedboard began testing its prototypes in July 2009 by entering SUP races throughout the United States. Speedboard paddler Will Rich debuted a Speedboard/Zurn design by winning the 2011 Halloween Narrow River Stand-up Paddleboard Challenge, Men’s Division, in Narragansett, R.I., and the 2011 Thanksgiving Day SUP Race in Gloucester, Mass.

Leonardo Da Vinci’s Masterpiece, The Last Supper

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

Select Italy (http://www.selectitaly.com) celebrates International Women’s Day, La Festa della Donna, by offering female customers a free entrance tickets to see the Last Supper on March 8th (while supplies last).

The difficulty of obtaining Last Supper tickets any day is extraordinary; on a holiday, even more so. No other website currently offers this special promotion to see the Last Supper. Select Italy recognizes the significance of La Festa Della Donna and aims to celebrate its female clients by granting them free access to one of the world’s most breathtaking and valuable masterpieces.

“Even more than the Vatican or the Colosseum, Last Supper tickets are the most difficult to obtain in all of Italy. If you don’t purchase them ahead of time, it is nearly impossible that you will get in the day you want to go,” says Alison Turner, Director of Operations at Select Italy. When travelers have limited time, a long wait in line without the guarantee of seeing the desired site can be a disappointment, to say the least.

International Women’s Day (La Festa della Donna) honors more than just the equality of women. The holiday originates in ancient Rome to celebrate the first day of spring and the goddess Ariadne. More recently, the date marks a day of remembrance for those women who perished in a New York factory fire following a protest for substandard working conditions on March 8th, 1908. The 129 women workers who were locked inside the building died, most of whom were Italian immigrants. Today, the holiday is less a day of remembrance and more a celebration of women the world over.

Italy celebrates La Festa Della Donna with discounted events for women, special baked goods and dishes, and even the sending of “mimosa” flowers to one’s family and friends. Select Italy will likewise participate to express the respect and gratitude it has for its female clients.

About Select Italy

Select Italy is the ultimate source for travel to Italy and offers a wide array of superior Italian products and services, including customized itineraries, state-of-the-art tours and packages, wedding/honeymoon trips, unique culinary classes, a complete pre-departure ticketing service for museums and musical events, private guided services, yacht charters, transportation, hotel reservations, villa bookings and more. In 2010, Select Italy opened a full-service branch in Shanghai, China. For more information call (800) 877-1755 or visit http://www.selectitaly.com.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) February 10, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn – Tourism industry dynamics are significantly influenced by the highs and lows of the global economy as it affects the level of consumer confidence. As travelers from the developed nations make up for a large proportion of total tourists, the industry was hit hard by the recession that engulfed the global economy. Rise in unemployment rates, salary cutbacks and reduction in travel-related programs by businesses led to a considerable decline in number of tourists, thereby affecting the overall revenues. The effect was also evident on various sectors including leisure and business tourism, incentive travel, cruise tourism and shopping tourism, all of which witnessed a significant decline. A large number of regular travelers reduced their traveling frequencies, while new and prospective travelers deferred their travel plans. However, some tourism segments, specifically medical tourism, continued to grow despite the financial crisis. The tourism sector recovered in 2010 and exhibited growth in 2011 with consumer confidence and enthusiasm heading back to pre-recession levels.

Over the years, Specialty Tourism has responded to public’s interest in educational, health and active tours. Changes in technology, society and economy have led to increased ease in traveling. Traveling has become cheaper and convenient with the availability of more airplanes, air routes, surface vehicles, and roads. In addition, abundant and easily accessible information is provided to travelers. The specialty tourism market is expected to exhibit continuous growth in the coming years and become the dominant segment of the overall tourism industry.

Medical tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in the tourism industry. Increasing health awareness levels, low medical costs, less waiting time are driving medical tourism, with a significant portion of the tourists flow directed towards developing nations such as India, Brazil and Thailand, among others. Asia-Pacific medical tourism industry accounts for a significant portion of the worldwide medical tourism market, with the region attracting travelers from Europe, North America and Australia largely due to the cost factor. The availability of well-qualified and skilled medical professionals and advanced medical techniques favors the region’s growth as the hub of medical tourism. Adventure tourism is another key sector of the leisure travel market, which includes a variety of outbound activities such as such as scuba diving, rock climbing, canoeing or kayaking, paragliding, mountaineering and windsurfing. Growth in the sector is driven by an upsurge in the number of enthusiasts venturing into adventure sports.

The research report titled “Specialty Tourism: A Global Outlook” announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a collection of statistical anecdotes, market briefs, and concise summaries of research findings. The report offers an aerial view of the global specialty tourism sector, identifies major short to medium term market challenges, and growth drivers. Market discussions in the report are punctuated with fact-rich market data tables. Regional markets elaborated upon include the US, Canada, Mexico, Japan, France, Germany, the UK, Russia, China, India, Brazil, Thailand and Malaysia among others. Also included is an indexed, easy-to-refer, fact-finder directory listing the addresses, and contact details of companies worldwide.

Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

Super Bowl Sunday, the nation’s second largest day of food consumption behind Thanksgiving, will be a little more environmentally friendly with the services provided by Filta’s local Indianapolis Franchise Owner. Lucas Oil Stadium on average consumes over 500 lbs of cooking oil a week to keep the stadium running at full capacity. Luckily for them, Filta is there to micro-filter the cooking oil to extend its useful life, which is saving them a lot of money, and most importantly, our environment. The FiltaFry and FiltaBio services have been making a huge local impact over the past few months. Filta’s latest Environmental Impact Report states that the stadium is saving about 8.6 million pounds of water and their carbon offset is like planting about 3,000 trees.

This gives the Indianapolis community a chance to breathe a little better with the economic influx that Super Bowl sites experience during the big game. On average, cities experience about a $ 375 million dollar increase during the Super Bowl week. This large economic impact will greatly benefit the city of Indianapolis, but when the people leave, Filta will still be there making its environmental impact on a weekly basis.

About Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions & the FiltaFry Service

The FiltaFry service, which is Filta’s proprietary cooking oil micro-filtration and vacuum based deep fryer cleaning service, prolongs the useful life of the oil, eliminates the risk to employees associated with fryer upkeep, and provides a superior level of food quality, all while promoting sustainability. As a result of using this service, businesses potentially purchase less cooking oil, save on insurance claims and employees come to work with the peace of mind that they are being provided a safe environment.

Established in the United Kingdom in 1996 and brought to the USA in 2002, Filta is the world’s leader in commercial fryer and cooking oil management services and offers its services through a worldwide franchise network. Filta is dedicated to saving its client’s money, creating a safer working environment, and providing customers with the tools to increase the quality of their product, all while preserving the environment. Filta services over 5,000 customers every week and has recycled over 1/3 of a billion pounds of oil and counting! http://www.filta.com

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 28, 2012

The New York Giants’ thrilling overtime win in Sunday’s NFC Championship didn’t only send Big Blue to Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis – it brought a ray of hope to people on two coasts in desperate need of free legal assistance.

San Francisco attorney Lane Weinberg and New York City attorney David Barros, former roommates at Northwestern University Law School, have been best friends and bitter sports rivals for over 20 years. California native Weinberg is a major fan of Major League Baseball’s San Francisco Giants and the fabled Forty-Niners of the National Football League; Brooklyn, New York, native Barros naturally supports such legendary franchises as MLB’s New York Yankees and the NFL’s New York Giants.

While their sporting rivalry is mostly friendly, the two have been known to place heavy wagers when their respective favorites square off. So, when the football Giants faced the Niners in this week’s National Football Conference championship game, it was only natural the two attorneys had a little action on the side.

Only, it wasn’t so little. And unlike previous wagers in their betting history – including round-trip airfare to Las Vegas, a month’s rent in their respective offices and tickets to numerous sporting events – the spoils of this bet wouldn’t directly benefit the winner.

With a Super Bowl berth on the line, Lane Weinberg and Barros each put up 50 hours of pro bono legal service for the benefit of indigent persons. The loser, according to Weinberg, would spend the time representing destitute clients in the other lawyer’s city on issues including homelessness, termination of public benefits and others.

“It was actually David’s idea, but I was all for it,” Lane Weinberg said. “We all forget sometimes about the less-fortunate members of our society, especially when there’s not a Thanksgiving food drive or a Christmas toy drive to remind us. They’re out there, winter, spring, summer and fall, struggling to survive, every day.

“David and I are both fortunate to live comfortable lives,” Weinberg added. “We’ve worked hard to build these lives, but there’s no doubt we’ve been blessed. And if we can do something that assists others who haven’t been as fortunate, we’re very happy to do it.”

Each attorney regularly performs pro bono work in his respective city – Lane Weinberg dedicates “about 10 percent” of his professional time to free services, he said – so both Weinberg and Barros easily provided a long list of desperate clients with pressing legal issues, including many homeless persons.

“Lane Weinberg and I are both intimately familiar with the plight of the homeless,” Barros noted. “My practice focuses more on family law and Lane’s has more personal injury cases, but we’ve both worked with homeless clients on a number of issues and we know the uphill battle they face.”

Even though he won the bet and is happy to collect Lane Weinberg’s 50 hours, Barros – perhaps giddy with Super Bowl fever – has pledged to donate some time to indigent clients in San Francisco. While Weinberg logs hours with the New York City-based Coalition for the Homeless, Barros said he plans to contact the San Francisco-based Homeless Youth Alliance, where Lane Weinberg is a regular visitor.

“Lane has told me about the work they do and what some of those kids go through,” Barros noted. “I’m happy to offer some help, since Lane will be busy boning up on New York statutes. Of course, I still won the bet. The Giants are still going to the Super Bowl, and Lane Weinberg lost huge. In the scope of our rivalry, that’s what matters most.”

For Weinberg, who graduated Northwestern Law alongside Barros in 1989, the agony of this particular loss is ultimately soothed by the good the two attorneys are doing in their rival’s hometown.

“I enjoy helping others,” Lane Weinberg said. “I firmly believe that, as human beings, if we’re in a position to help someone who needs it, we always should. And Dave feels the same way.”

About Lane Weinberg

Northwestern University Law School graduate Lane Weinberg is a San Francisco, California-based attorney focused on personal injury matters. A staunch advocate of the homeless in San Francisco and other cities, he’s an avid chess player in his spare time. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife, Lorna, and their three children.
