Lisa comments, "A tantric massage influences the body reactions positively. Individuals who participate in this sensual tantric massage gain emotional health related advantages. Plenty of benefits associated with this erotic massage are an obvious case for people who are in the health industry.

However individuals who are not in the health department might not be aware of the benefits. Some might find it difficult to understand this fact. People who are ignorant to learn from new encounters or be open to research are the ones who often are last to hear of remedy solutions.

Couples that experience a tantra massage together have often reported to us that their sexual lives have been boosted. Tantric massages establish dependence hence breaking boundaries or limitations that have been previously barred."

According to research studies couples that are open to some adventure are totally free and accept each other's flaws. Lisa urged couples to have an element of freedom and to experiment and not fear.

Couples that are brave enough to allow one another or that go together as couples are not afraid to try new stuff in the relationship. They do not fear to scrutinize their sex department and chances of one partner cheating are slight in comparisons to couples that do not experiment.

Many people in relationships cheat because of not having the ability to fully communicate and share their desires. Couples who experience sensual massages get time to ponder on their needs.

Lisa noted that couples who are in a mutual relationship should not have any limits when it comes to communication. There should be no room for negative energy and thoughts. Couples should be able to relax together and rejuvenate their relationships from time to time.

Compliance Institute Southern Africa Defines the role of a Compliance Officer

(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 04, 2015 ) Johannesburg -- The information officer of the Compliance Institute Southern Africa noted that the role of a compliance officer can be a misunderstood concept within the business world.

He comments, "Over the past decade or so the role of a compliance officer has become increasingly more important and significant to organisations. More and more organisations are relying more heavily on their compliance officers in order to guide and recommend best practices moving forward with their regulatory responsibilities.

Even Regulators themselves view compliance officers as very important extensions to their monitoring structures. This still does not answer the question of what a compliance officer is.

The literal definition is that of an employee whose main responsibilities include making sure that the company or organisation they work for complies with all its outside regulatory requirements as well as its internal policies. Sounds simpler than it is but there are many more layers to it. "

He added, "As a compliance officer you are able to review and set the standards you see fit for all outside communications of a business or organisation. Compliance with regulatory requirements is a must in every business.

This can be achieved through requiring disclaimers in emails, or as an officer you may examine facilities of the organisation to ensure that they are accessible for all employees and clients and that they are completely safe.

Internally compliance officers can also design, change or update policies in order to mitigate the risk of that specific business, company or organisation breaking the laws and regulations in place. They will also lead all internal audits of those procedures.

Compliance officers have the most responsibility for understanding and overseeing the management of compliance within a business or organisation. Although all the applicable laws, rules, codes and standards reside with top management and the ever so demanding board, it is the role of the Compliance Officer in assisting them with rolling out these responsibilities.

This is done by facilitating the development, establishment and maintenance of an efficient and effective compliance risk management process. Some major characteristics of a compliance officer in order to perform diligently at their job is that of having an objective view of the company, business or organisation policies.

They should also be very headstrong and not be easily influenced by other employees especially those at top management and sitting on the board to overlook any infractions."

He added, "This could lead the business overall into a substantial amount of trouble with significant fines and at worst business closure. Some of the bigger companies take compliance seriously and have appointed Chief Compliance Officers (CCO) to monitor and direct all compliance related activities.

There are two types of risk that a business/company can face; Regulatory Risk and Reputational Risk. This is where a compliance officer is most important to businesses as they make sure these risk factors do not become a problem in the future.

Compliance management, monitoring the effectiveness of compliance functions as it grows in maturity and having ion place compliance risk management processes ae just the tip of the iceberg for an officer."

He noted "To find out how you can become a qualified compliance officer with the right designation and accreditation visit http://www.compliancesa.com/ today. One of the critical success factors for a Compliance Officer is a sound understanding of the business and with Compliance Institute Southern Africa you get that kind of experience, knowledge and education."

He has been an enthusiastic supporter of AMVETS for many years. Mr. Adams and his organization are appreciative of both the national and local Tennessee chapters' work. Ron Adams commented on his support; "Everyday there are well-meaning conversations about federal budget priorities. I am so very glad AMVETS is always there adding to that conversation, reminding us of the commitment this country made to each and every vet."

AMVETS Mission Statement
"To enhance and safeguard the entitlements for all American Veterans who have served honorably and to improve the quality of life for them, their families, and the communities where they live through leadership, advocacy and services.

As one of America's leading veterans service organizations with over 250,000 members, AMVETS (or American Veterans) has a proud history of assisting veterans and sponsoring numerous programs that serve our country and its citizens. Membership in AMVETS is open to anyone who is currently serving, or who has honorably served, in the U.S. Armed Forces from World War II to the present, to include the National Guard and Reserves."

1. Veteran Services
AMVETS sponsors a network of trained national service officers (NSOs) accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Funded by the AMVETS National Service Foundation, these dedicated men and women can be found in close to 50 states, providing sound advice and prompt action on compensation claims at no charge to the veteran. In one recent year alone, AMVETS national service officers processed more than 74,000 claims on behalf of the veterans they serve.

2. AMVETS in Action
National service officers, other AMVETS members, as well as those in the AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary, will devote as many as 1 million hours of free time a year to brighten the lives of hospitalized veterans. Theses dedicated volunteers graciously give their time and attention to veterans by doing simple things such as playing cards with the lonely or watching television with the disabled.

Each year AMVETS awards scholarships totaling $40,000 to deserving high school seniors, ROTC students and veterans pursuing higher education.

AMVETS members in more than 1,400 posts nationwide also promote and support "quality of life" community-service programs ranging from Special Olympics and ROTC to scouting and organ-donor projects.

3. Public Policy Advocacy
AMVETS has been at the forefront of public policy related to national defense, services for homeless veterans, adequate funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs, concurrent receipt of retirement pay and disability compensation by disabled military retirees, veterans employment and training, POW/MIA accountability and flag protection.

Apart from these initiatives, the organization has thrown its monetary support behind work on such national monuments as the USS. Arizona, the Statue of Liberty and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It also sponsors its own carillon program to honor America's deceased servicemen and women. Since 1949, when President Truman dedicated the first carillon at Arlington National Cemetery, this program has grown to encompass more than 60 sites in the United States and overseas.

Another tribute unique to AMVETS is the Silver Helmet Award, often referred to as the Veterans Oscar. A replica of the World War II GI helmet, this prestigious award is presented annually to recognize excellence and achievement in Americanism, defense, rehabilitation, congressional service and other fields.

4. Tennessee AMVETS Organizations

In Mr. Adams endorsement, he especially notes the four local Tennessee AMVETS Organizations; each with a specific focus:

Social Media Management Company in Johannesburg Shares Strategy Review

(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 11, 2016 ) Johannesburg -- Catch The Beat, one of the leading innovative online marketing agency in South Africa, recently shared its turnkey strategy review that is set to promote companies successfully online and across social media platforms.

The Catch The Beat, public relations officer comments, "The world is always changing, at Catch The Beat, we believe that it is important to quickly adapt, harness the power of relevant social media networks so as to market a brand or its products fully."

He added, "There are various essential reasons why social media marketing should be part of any online business marketing strategy. If a business does not have a social media presence online, it's a fact that it's going to lose out to its competition. Having a website only is not enough if it does not have adequate social media platforms connecting to it to make an impact online.

Marketing across social media platforms, for instance, Facebook and Twitter allows instant interaction with the customers and potential clients. Businesses can conduct useful research on these platforms through monitoring customers, interactions and reactions to any proposed idea or new product.

It's very easy for businesses to get some insights into the daily activities of its customers. Hence, marketing strategies can be adjusted to be relevant as well as to grab the customer's attention.

Social media platforms allow instant communication, for instance if customers have a problem with a service or products they can share all their grievances without a hassle. If a business responds fast, research studies show that customers appreciate the service provided

He explained that social media research shows that more people are much more receptive to communication via sites such as Facebook and Twitter because their understanding is that these sites are for social interaction. Yet they are relevant and utilized for online marketing strategies.

He added, "Advertising on social media platforms has it advantages because it's a social interaction platform. Most of the time the target audience will not be on guard meaning there are more likely to take a look at what businesses have on offer because they are at a relaxed state. Although this statement seems biased it leaves room for debate.

He noted, "A business that is active across social media platforms is bound to get some new customers from them. In being active on these social platforms potential customers can find a business, customers can come from different social media sites. Customers can easily be-redirected to your Twitter page or directly to your website."

The Catch The Beat public relations officer noted that it would be imprudent for any business not to have a strong social media management service.

"Every business must take advantage of online social media platforms. Getting the best social media management services will result in more sales. Constant interaction as well giving your customer base incentives to buy is vital to achieving a successful online social media campaign. If you do not know how you do not need to worry.

Catch the Beat is a Johannesburg Social Media Management Company that will provide a full-service social media management service. Not only does Social media marketing lead to sales it also helps drive traffic to websites and increases brand awareness." For more information visit http://www.catchthebeat.co.za/

Branding Expert Heather Doering Helps Others & Wins Award

(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 13, 2016 ) Plymouth, MI – The Plymouth Community Chamber of Commerce has nearly 800 members and separates itself from many other similar chambers by not only helping local area businesses prosper, but it also emphasizes helping the surrounding its community. It heavily depends upon the help from volunteers. Last Monday, the Chamber awarded one of its ambassadors Heather Doering the Volunteer of the Year at the Taste of Plymouth event. The award was presented to Doering by Chamber President Wes Graff and Jim Zandee of Certipro.

Locally known branding expert Doering mentioned, “I really enjoy (volunteering). It’s a blast! I like being part of things.” She earned her award by being an active member of the Ambassador committee, mentoring new Chamber members, attending local Plymouth company ribbon cuttings, volunteering for the Chambers three big fundraisers. Plus she shared that she, “…supported staff and members through referrals and (her) connections.”

According to an article on OnGood, “Studies have shown that those who volunteer often show higher levels of happiness, life-satisfaction, self-esteem, a sense of control over life, and physical health, as well as lower levels of depression.” An article on LifeHack states that volunteering helps people expand their networks, an often overlooked but important part of branding, “You’re getting to know people involved in many different walks in life that you wouldn’t have had the opportunity to meet otherwise.”

Doering also mentioned that it’s been a difference maker in her branding business, Ace in the Hole Branding. Many people are willing to work when they know they are getting paid for it, but Doering understands how she can increase her business and improve her brand positioning by handling things without always having to get paid immediately.

Often new members might want to help but are not sure how to contribute. Doering tries to remove that barrier for the Chamber’s members by helping connect them. She realizes that many people, “(have a) lack of knowledge and understanding about what needs to be done (for each the Chamber and the overall community). I've been on a mission to educate new members and help get them involved.”

Besides trying to help improve the community and the local business climate, Doering adds, “It's an amazing group of people dedicated to enriching a community!!”

About Heather Doering: Volunteer of the Year award winning Heather Doering is a branding expert who is a single mom who truly believes in helping others, especially other women might be experiencing some of the same problems earlier in her business life. Many of these women want to get into business but are not always sure what to do. Through her company Ace in the Hole Branding, she helps people locally and offers one-session seminars and multiple session courses. For more information about how Heather can help improve your brand, call (734) 620-1194 or visit http://AceInTheHoleBranding.com.

About Plymouth Community Chamber of Commerce: The Plymouth Community Chamber of Commerce’s mission is to stimulate growth and prosperity for a healthy business community. Made up of over 700 member organizations, its members contribute to the organization through membership dues, sponsorship and volunteer support on many different committees.

Courageous Brabb Twins go From Driving School Students to Racing Champions In A Year

(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 18, 2016 ) Grosse Pointe, Michigan -- Just a year ago, at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club’s 2015 Great Lakes Boating Festival, twin brothers Max and Ben Brabb were answering questions from curious kids (and parents) about their experiences at the Michigan Hydroplane Racing Association driving school.

With their first race still weeks away, they could only imagine what it would be like, but they were looking forward to taking the green flag and start racing.

Fast forward to the 2016 Great Lakes Boating Festival at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club (www.gpynef.org). Just one year later and Max and Ben are displaying the trophies and honors they won driving their J-class APBA outboard racers.

Max earned 2015 Rookie of the Year in APBA’s Region 6 and twin brother Ben wears the 2015 J- class Runabout championship crown. All this accomplished in their first year in racing.

The Brabb twins discovered the sport of boat racing through an outing to the Gold Cup hydroplane races arranged by Courageous Kids, a Howell, Mich.,-based organization dedicated to helping kids cope with life-threatening medical conditions.

Their goal is to provide these kids with anticipation, distraction, emotional support and an opportunity for family bonding through group attendance at exciting events like Tigers and Pistons games, Gold Cup Races and this year, the Yacht Club’s Great Lakes Boating Festival.

Max Brabb is one of those Courageous Kids (www.courageouskids.org) who attended the Gold Cup Hydroplane races in 2014. It was there he was introduced to the exciting world of boat racing…a world he would soon join.

Born with a medical condition that led to three open-heart surgeries, Max had the good fortune to meet Robin Shane, the mother of Gold Cup champion driver Jimmy Shane. She took the time to explain the strategies and tactics it takes to win. Max was hooked…and when he learned he could go the Michigan Hydroplane Racing Association driving school that September he thought of nothing else.

With their very successful first season in the books, Ben and Max are looking to even more success in 2016 and are anxious to share their story with others.

The Grosse Pointe Yacht Club’s harbor and grounds will be filled with the latest in boats and accessories the weekend of May 20-22. The Great Lakes Boating festival is open to the public.

Detroit Community Leader Harlan Bivens Wins Award

(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 15, 2016 ) Detroit, MI – At noon on Saturday at the MGM Casino, Harlan “Jay” Bivens will receive an award for his role as a community leader for Detroit youth. The B.A.L.L. Foundation targets children seven (7) to seventeen (17), and it will be awarding several people the Excellence Under 40 award. Along with Byron Suggs, Jason Appling, Lauren Bealore, and Ashlee Henderson, Bivens will be receiving the honor.

Bivens owns JaysFades.com Hair and Nail Salon and is the co-director of the Better Detroit Youth Movement (BDYM), a non-profit group looking to develop children and young adults by connecting them to different people. The group helps coordinate programs, like Stomp Out HIV and the Detroit Scholarship & Resource Fair held at Cobo Hall each year.

Harlan Bivens feels that the helping the youth is an important part of making the City of Detroit better. He remarked, “What Detroit needs is to work on the generational divide and Detroit needs to focus on our future. We have some brilliant individuals that do not have an opportunity to showcase their intelligence, gifts, talent, and education.”

He thinks that many older people in Detroit can do more to help the youth grow and develop stronger and improve the city’s future prospects in the process.

What does he think people can do to help?

“Volunteer with an organization that is already helping children. We’re constantly looking for people who can help improve our community and improve the lives of children who, otherwise, might not get the help they need.”

Bivens’ non-profit group BDYM will be hosting a golf program for children called Swing for Greatness. The program introduces golf to youth, teens, and young adults in and around Detroit. The goal of the program is to help make what many consider to be an elite sport accessible to children who might not otherwise be exposed to it. Learning golf helps children develop patience, critical thinking skills, decision making, discipline, and proper etiquette.

Bivens has more than earned his award for community excellence, and he and the BDYM continue to bring great opportunities for children, teens, and young adults.

For more information about Biven’s Excellence Under 40 award or BDYM upcoming events, you can attend BDYM meetings on Tuesdays from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Harlen “Jay” Bivens’ JaysFades.com Detroit barbershop on 17178 Livernois Ave, or visit the website for the Better Detroit Youth Movement (BDYM) at http://www.BetterDetroitYouth.org.


About Harlan “Jay” Bivens: Harlan “Jay” Bivens is not simply any ordinary barber; he is a community activist in every aspect of his life. He owns and founded Jaysfades.com and co-directs the Better Detroit Youth Movement non-profit organization. He makes people in the community have good looking hair while providing the community with care.

As a mentor and motivational speaker, not to mention an actor and model, Jay has created and follows a lifelong commitment toward seeking ways to create opportunities for people in the community, especially children and young adults in Detroit.

Madison County, MS Debaters Among Best in the Nation

St. Andrew's Episcopal School


 

Madison Central High School


 


A Day in the Life of a St. Andrew's Student


(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 03, 2016 ) Ridgeland, MS -- Two Madison County, Mississippi, students placed in the top-6 in their events at the National Speech and Debate Association's National Tournament. Ishan Bhatt, a rising 10th grader at St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Ridgeland, MS, placed 6th nationally in Lincoln-Douglas Debate; and Ian Hennington, a class of 2016 graduate of Madison Central High School, placed 2nd in the House portion of the Student Congress competition.

The National Speech and Debate Association holds their national tournament each year. This year's tournament took place in Salt Lake City, Utah the week of June 12 to 18. Students generally qualify for nationals through competition at District tournaments - in the case of Mississippi, the state is our district and we generally qualify two students or teams for nationals in each of the respective events (though there are some exceptions to this).

"One of the things that is amazing about the Magnolia District is that while we are very competitive during the course of the season, when nationals comes around, we really do become one squad, which is a tribute to the work of our District Chair," says St. Andrew's head debate coach Darin Maier. "Thus, it makes it easy to root for someone like Ian and for other coaches to root for Ishan because they know that their successes are a reflection of the success of the district as a whole."

Ian Hennington placed 2nd in the House portion of the Student Congress competition. This meant that he was selected by the judges as one of the top competitors in his preliminary round chamber and then again in his semi-finals chamber, which earned him the right to compete in the final sessions of the House (24 students advance to this level). There were approximately 230 competitors in the House.

Ishan Bhatt placed 6th in Lincoln-Douglas Debate. He had two judges in each of his six preliminary rounds where he won a total of nine ballots (you need eight to advance), which advanced him to the elimination rounds, where the tournament becomes a double-elimination contest. Ishan won his first four elimination debates before picking up his first loss, then won two more before losing to the eventual national champion. There were approximately 260 competitors in Lincoln-Douglas Debate, a one-on-one debate regarding a resolution. For this year's national tournament, the resolution was "Resolved: Immigration ought to be recognized as a human right."

Ishan traveled to Utah with saints debate coach Jharick Shields. "I am quite proud of Ishan and his accomplishment at the NSDA National Tournament. For anyone, let alone a freshman, to achieve top six in the nation is exemplary and a testament to how hard Ishan has worked this year," says Shields. "We are extremely humble and pleased with our result, and look forward to similar success in the future."

Because of these results, both Madison Central and St. Andrew's were recognized by the National Speech and Debate Association as Debate Schools of Honor for the 2016 National Tournament, recognizing them as being among the top 40 performing debate squads at the national tournament. St. Andrew's last won a similar honor in 2009 when it was named a Debate School of Excellence, placing their performance in the top 20 squads nationally.

"Mississippi may get a bad rap for a number of things, but the activity of Speech and Debate is one in which Mississippi typically does very well. The MHSAA has made a strong and continuing commitment to this activity through its awarding of state championships, to its sending representation to the National Federation of High Schools' Debate Topic Selection Meeting each August, to its active involvement in the selection of a Speech, Debate and Theatre Outstanding Educator," says Maier. "MHSAA Executive Director Don Hinton has been nothing but supportive of this activity and those of us who coach debate appreciate his efforts, which continue to pay off."

(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 18, 2016 ) Rockville, MD -- Mr. Kyle Winkfield has joined with other financial professionals of the International Financial Leadership Association, a corporation dedicated to bettering the world by promoting financial literacy and distributing trustworthy financial information.

Mr. Winkfield had this to say about joining the International Leadership Association:
"I am proud to be a part of IFLA and I believe in their important mission to open up new financial possibilities for those who are earnestly seeking a better life."

Through joining IFLA, Inc. Kyle Winkfield has become part of a corporation dedicated to breaking out of an old and outdated financial system historically designed to benefit the financial industry, to join with other like-minded professionals who value a new focus on what is best, above all, for the individual.

About International Financial Leadership Association (source: http://www.myifla.com):

"IFLA, Inc. is a not for profit corporation established in the State of Missouri. IFLA, the International Financial Leadership Association has a two pronged mission. We are focused to deliver the most comprehensive, timely and accurate financial information available anywhere."

"IFLA's first mission is to provide financial literacy to all who desire a better life now and for their future. Because there are so many people repeating the same old "one size fits all" message that benefits the financial industry more than the individual consumer, many people are shocked to hear what we have to say."

"The second mission of our organization is to provide free assistance to people who have made mistakes with their finances, and desire a "second chance" to do it right. One such advocacy program is where we work with companies and Government organizations to help consumers of Variable Annuities or other investments recover losses sustained from having their money in a volatile stock market."
