BigCrumbs.com Declares a "War on Staycations"

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 25, 2011

BigCrumbs.com, a leading online deals and coupons portal, today announced they are declaring a "War on Staycations", seeking to support loyal members who wish to travel and spend time with family and friends this holiday weekend. BigCrumbs.com will give away one (1) $ 100 Gas Gift Card everyday beginning May 25 through June 1, 2011.

As high oil prices continue to drive consumer sentiments about spending, "Staycations" (also known as "stay-at-home vacations") have become a popular summer phenomenon. Despite the still sluggish economic recovery, BigCrumbs seeks to evangelize their philosophy of economic independence by encouraging members to take control of their financial lives and enjoy all the rewards that life has to offer.

It's time to stop all the economic doom and gloom. " says Vince Martin, BigCrumbs CEO. "We are not suggesting that people ignore common sense or spend with reckless abandon, but we fervidly reject the notion that living Spartan lifestyles is the new normal. Summer has always been the season for spending time family and friends, and we intend to help our members do just that. The Gas Gift Card Giveaway is just the opening salvo in our newly re-energized campaign to financially empower our members in otherwise tough times."

For over 5 years, BigCrumbs has helped families to save millions of dollars not only by offering the best online coupons, deals and huge cash back rewards, but also the opportunity to earn even greater cash rewards simply by sharing the savings with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. "We will not let fatalistic attitudes deter our mission to help people to achieve their financial goals, and we are frankly tired of this notion that people must simply sit around and wait helplessly for the economy to recover. Our members are regular people, who continue to pursue goals of economic freedom," says Martin. "so, it's only fitting that we give back to them by supporting their efforts to spend quality time with many of the same friends they've referred to our program."

The BigCrumbs Gas Gift Card Giveaway begins Wednesday May 25, 2011. Daily winners will be chosen through June 1, 2011. Additional contest details, terms and conditions can be found at http://www.facebook.com/BigCrumbsFans

New Award Will Honour Teachers Who Bring Learning to Life Inside and Outside the Classroom

(PRWEB) March 11, 2010

Any current student, their parent or guardian can nominate a teacher whose inspirational approach to teaching not only stimulates learning but also encourages those with whom they come in contact to drive towards their dreams.

Sports star Malcolm OKelly whose academic achievements match his many memorable performances in the green jersey of Ireland helped launch the event recently.

The 35-year-old credits an inspirational maths teacher for helping to inspire him combine a successful rugby career with a masters degree in mathematics and qualification as a civil engineer.

Malcolms commitment to education throughout a thirteen year career as a professional sportsman was recognised this year when he was appointed as a special ambassador for the engineering profession.

These awards are a great idea. Many people myself included can trace their choice of career back to the special effort that a particular teacher made to interest them in a subject.

For me, that happened in second and third year at Templeogue College in Dublin when my maths teacher Walter Rocket first got me interested in the process of solving theorems.

I remember him as a great teacher with a passion for maths that he was able to pass on to his students. Mr Rocket made the subject really interesting. He took me under his wing and encouraged me to make the most of my abilities in mathematics, which has certainly benefited me later in life, Malcolm explained.

The man who came up with the idea of creating national awards for inspirational teachers is Mark Bundschu from http://www.abcbookshop.ie, who are sponsoring the awards. Mark has five young children, four of whom are in primary school and in his opinion the inspiration that many teachers offer can sometimes be forgotten amid the challenge of busy curriculums and the pressure of exams.

Mark observed, I recently went to parent teacher meetings for my four daughters and was struck by how well the teachers knew the children and how passionate they were about their jobs. In the current climate where there is a great deal of discussion about teachers pay, it is sometimes forgotten what a great job they do.

I am delighted that my involvement with ABC Bookshops has enabled us to sponsor an award which recognises their value. Teachers provide their pupils with the education needed to get a good start in life. They have the power to release every childs potential and there are many inspirational people working within our schools that help change lives for the better.

The awards are open to primary and secondary school teachers, and are designed to give students the opportunity to thank a teacher who has encouraged and motivated them, or perhaps just provided support and helped them have a happy school life

The winner of the Teacher of the Year Award 2010 will be announced at the INTO annual conference in Galway this April and will be presented by INTO President M

On-site Workshops Make Office Fitness Fun and Affordable

Pensacola, FL (PRWEB) September 13, 2011

With the recent economic slowdown, many companies have been forced to cut back on employee fitness and wellness programs. JuggleFit LLC is now offering an affordable alternative to ongoing corporate wellness programs with its on-site office fitness workshops. ACE-Certified Trainer and JuggleFit Founder, Heather Wolf says, There's an increasing trend where health and wellness professionals are offering informative sessions that help employees fit healthy habits into a busy schedule. Its a great way to reward and take care of employees without having to spend a bundle on a full-fledged corporate wellness program.

Cynthia Tant, Broker/Owner at Gulf Coast Home Experts, LLC, in Pensacola, FL, comments, As with any job, things can get hectic and its important to find ways to stay mentally and physically sharp throughout the workday, she says, especially when sitting at a desk handling important paperwork. After bringing JuggleFit in for a workshop, Cynthia says the light exercise throughout the workday has helped keep her agents focused, energized, and able to deliver excellent service to clients.

JuggleFits workshops include exercises that provide light office-appropriate cardio, work the core, and stretch muscles that tend to tighten up while sitting at a desk for long periods of time. Even simple changes like standing during phone calls or stretching at your desk are great ways to energize and burn a few extra calories during the day, says Wolf, who invented an office fitness accessory called Cardio in a Box, a small box containing scarves that can be used for stretches, resistance moves and cardio exercise during the day. Cynthia couldnt resist purchasing some of the products to place around the office for her Gulf Coast Home Experts, she says Its added quite a bit of character to our office; agents are able to do exercises and stretches whenever they need an energy boost. I see many of them using Cardio in a Box around 2 or 3 to fight that afternoon slump.

JaguarPC Launches iPad 2 Giveaway For Web Hosting Affiliates

Fulshear, TX (PRWEB) November 01, 2011

JaguarPC, an experienced provider of shared hosting, virtual private server (VPS) hosting, and dedicated server hosting solutions, announced today a one-of-a-kind affiliate giveaway that rewards client referrals with the chance to win a brand new Apple iPad 2. One JaguarPC web hosting affiliate will be selected to receive the iPad 2 at the end of November, giving every affiliate an additional incentive to share information on JaguarPCs services.

We are incredibly excited to give our hosting affiliates the chance to win an iPad 2, says Greg Landis, CEO at JaguarPC. But we didnt want to just draw somebody out of a hat. Instead, were using a system of proportional entries for every referral that an affiliate sends our way between November 1st and November 30th, we will give them one entry into the iPad 2 giveaway. That means the more proactive an affiliate is, the more chances they have to win a brand new iPad 2.

The Apple iPad 2 is one of the most desirable pieces of technology in the world, offering a powerful tablet computing experience that is ideal for both work and play. Out of the box, iPad 2 comes equipped with iOS 5, the latest iteration of Apples award-winning mobile operating system, which includes intuitive multi-touch gestures and a range of useful software including Safari and iBooks. The iPad 2 also features an HD camera that, along with the included FaceTime software, gives users the opportunity to chat with any iOS user in the world. Naturally, with all these features and thousands of great applications just a few taps away, iPad 2 is at its best with plenty of storage. JaguarPC has selected the larger 32GB model for its affiliate giveaway with this in mind.

When we decided we wanted to run a giveaway for our web hosting affiliates, we thought long and hard about the kind of prize that we would want, says Landis. An iPad 2 seemed like a great choice but why give our winner the lowest specification model available? Our existing web hosting affiliate program members already know our reputation for giving generous payouts. Our choice of a 32GB iPad 2 is in-line with the high payouts we already offer, and were proud to say that one affiliate, new or existing, could potentially be the owner of an iPad 2 when we announce the winner on December 1st.

The JaguarPC Affiliate Program rewards members for customer referrals using a tiered payout system the more customers an affiliate brings to JaguarPC, the more money they can earn. For each of their first 5 referrals, affiliates earn $ 65, giving them the chance to start making money online quickly. However, the payout level increases dramatically when affiliates make a longer-term commitment to JaguarPC. For 6-10 referrals, affiliates receive $ 80 and any customer beyond the 10th nets an astonishing $ 110 payout one of the highest in the web hosting industry. By joining the JaguarPC Affiliate Program free of charge, affiliates can start earning money immediately and build a significant and regular income. The addition of an iPad 2 is sure to see JaguarPCs dedicated team of affiliates work even harder over the next 4 weeks.

Becoming a JaguarPC hosting affiliate is a great way to earn extra money online, says Landis. Were confident that new hosting affiliate program members will see how easy it is to sell our VPS hosting or dedicated server hosting services and stick with us longer. Of course, moving into next year, we have new ideas and contests to give our affiliate network the treatment they deserve. JaguarPC web hosting affiliates helped us get to where we are today so we will always find new ways to give something back.

JaguarPCs 13 year growth as a web hosting industry leader has been in part due to the work of hosting affiliates and word of mouth advertising, but is also the result of the dependable hosting services and excellent customer support that JaguarPC consistently delivers. With the launch of such a generous giveaway along with high payout rates, there is more reason than ever to join the JaguarPC Affiliate Program today.

Customers who are interested in finding out more about JaguarPCs Affiliate Program and the November iPad 2 Giveaway are encouraged to visit jaguarpc.com for more details and to get started as a hosting affiliate.

About the Author

Carol McKibben lost her self-respect at the age of eight, when she became a fat kid due to a glandular disorder. Because she grew up with parents who did not know how to love each other, Carol lost sight of what love really meant, even when it was standing before her.

For years, Carol only saw herself as "the fat girl," even when she triumphed over her thyroid problems and grew into an attractive young woman. "It's so important to be good-looking," her mother told her, pleased at the transformation. "Always keep your looks; they'll take you far in this world."

Without role models to teach her what was really important in a relationship, Carol finds herself drawn to controlling, selfish men. She ends up marrying her college sweetheart, and her world spirals downward from there.

MocoSpace Gets $3.5M In Strategic Funding from SoftBank Capital to Expand with Mobile Browser-Based Social Games

Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 23, 2010

Company already profitable, adds strategic capital to build out groundbreaking social games platform

Boston - Sept 23, 2010 - MocoSpace, the largest social entertainment destination on the mobile web, today announced a $ 3.5 million round of strategic funding from SoftBank Capital.

As founder of SoftBank Capital, Fisher has over 30 years of experience working with high growth and turnaround technology companies, and serves as a member of the board of directors of SoftBank Corp., Japan, as well as on the boards of several public and private companies, including Desktone, E*Trade Group, GSI Commerce, FooMojo, LiteScape Technologies and Nellymoser, Inc.

"MocoSpace is uniquely positioned for massive growth at the crossroads of powerful trends in mobile, gaming and social, as well as appealing to one of the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. population, the Hispanic market," said Fisher. "Softbank is excited to be an investor. MocoSpace has done a great job building an industry leading, profitable business, and we're excited to help the company broaden its entertainment offerings and innovate in the social games space."

"The chance to work with Ron and the Softbank team was a no-brainer for us. They have a tremendous amount of expertise both here and abroad in all the key parts of our business," says MocoSpace CEO and co-founder Justin Siegel.
