PreVisor Recognized for Game Changing Recruiting Technology by Onrec Online Magazine
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 23, 2008 — PreVisor, the global leader in employment assessments and selection solutions that connect hiring decisions to business results, announced its PreView? next-generation computer adaptive testing (CAT) was recognized as a 2008 Game Changing Recruiting Technology by Online Recruitment Magazine at the 2008 Onrec Expo in Chicago.
“Onrec 2008 Award winners are all leading-edge companies,” said RD Whitney, CEO of Onrec USA. “We’ve entered a very exciting phase of the online recruitment industry, and these organizations are to be congratulated for helping propel online recruitment forward.”
Computer adaptive testing (CAT) is an administration method that adapts to a candidate’s ability level as they proceed through the test by scoring each answer and presenting the next item based on the accuracy of their previous response. There are many benefits to using CAT, including shorter test time, more precise measurement, and reduced risk of cheating. While this form of testing has long been used in education, online delivery – particularly in unproctored settings – is just now beginning to be widely accepted for hiring.
PreVisor CEO Noel Sitzmann explained, “We are committed to driving innovative technology. PreView? is one example of what we’ve delivered to our clients this past year. We appreciate the recognition for this fine set of tools from those who report on the talent measurement sector.”

SpaFinder Launches SpaFinder Lifestyle: Online Magazine to Be Published in Six Languages
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 12, 2008 — SpaFinder, the global spa resource, today announced the launch of SpaFinder Lifestyle, a new online magazine that will be available in six languages to spa enthusiasts around the globe. SpaFinder Lifestyle will reach an audience of millions of readers who visit SpaFinder's global network of websites, including its flagship SpaFinder.com, far exceeding the typical launch-day circulation of print magazines. The publication represents an important breakthrough from the confines of the conventional spa magazine, not only for its edgy, knowledgeable editorial tone, but also for unique interactive tools and an environmentally responsible, online format.
Expanded Global Readership
Recognizing the global nature of the spa industry (a $60 billion-plus market), SpaFinder Lifestyle will be published in English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian, reaching consumers eager to discover the most up to date information about health, wellness, and beauty solutions from around the world. Beginning in 1st quarter 2009, it will also be published in Japanese.
Intelligent, Opinionated Spa Coverage
Staffed by experienced spa travel, lifestyle, and beauty journalists, SpaFinder Lifestyle offers smart, stylish, and opinionated coverage on all things "spa": from spa travel and treatments; to beauty, wellness, and fashion; to home design, nutrition, and cuisine. SpaFinder experts, who already experience and test every corner of the spa and beauty world, will provide informed, in-the-trenches information; readers will enjoy interactive features and user-generated areas.
"Coverage of spa escapes (including day spas and getaway destinations), beauty, well-being, and spa living will appeal to a broad readership," says Melisse Gelula, SpaFinder Lifestyle's editor in chief. "Unlike typical spa writing, which can seem as fluffy as a spa robe or stuffy as a sauna, we evaluate spas that are worth the shrinking dollar, pound, euro or yen; investigate which spa treatments and products work and what can't possibly; and capture the real-world culture of the vast number of people living a spa lifestyle–not just yogis and the affluent."
For instance, Gelula noted that the inaugural issue delivers the truth about "slenderizing" body wraps, introduces an unsung hero behind the anti-aging products used by millions of women, and uncovers which of Costa Rica's tiny eco resorts provide the best values.
Interactive Tools and Experiences
SpaFinder Lifestyle will feature innovative interactive tools, blogs, instant response polls, and community features designed to enhance readers' experience in a way static magazines cannot. For instance, Massage Matrix is an interactive tool (http://www.spafinder.com/lifestyle/massage-matrix/), where readers can discover more than a dozen types of massage and be guided to the most beneficial massage for their needs.
For More Info
For more information, or to speak with Editor in Chief, Melisse Gelula, please contact: Betsy Isroelit, (213) 300-0108, betsy [at rbicom.com
Additional Quotes and Information
"The spa industry knows no national barriers or cultural divides. SpaFinder Lifestyle's digital delivery provides the reach and efficiency we need to produce a truly global publication. We'll hit readership numbers at launch that would take a traditional magazine years to establish."
– Pete Ellis, CEO, SpaFinder Inc.
"Consumers today are hungry for spa, wellness, and beauty coverage that's as smart, real, and advanced as they are. They're already leading the spa lifestyle–living a healthy life, doing yoga, shopping at Whole Foods–and they're looking for ways to learn more and participate online."
– Melisse Gelula, Editor in Chief
New Interactive Tool:
Massage Matrix helps you discover your perfect massage style (http://www.spafinder.com/lifestyle/massage-matrix/)
A Commitment to the World Environment
SpaFinder Lifestyle is committed to an environmentally friendly, 100% paper-free distribution model. The online magazine will not contribute to the negative environmental impact of the global magazine industry, which, in the US alone, includes 35,000 felled trees annually, 9 billion non-recycled magazines (which if placed end to end would circle the earth nearly 20 times), and 13 billion pounds of annual greenhouse gas emissions.
Subscription Information
Free subscriptions to SpaFinder Lifestyle are available at SpaFinder.com. Subscribers will be notified on the first Wednesday of each month that the new online issue is available; new content and features will be added throughout the month.

TheRugged.com Launches, New Men’s Online Magazine
(PRWEB) January 27, 2010 — Founded by a 27 year old entrepreneur from Dallas, TX, TheRugged.com (http://www.therugged.com/) launched today, promising to be a refreshing alternative to traditional men’s lifestyle publications.
“You’re going to see a lot of advice, but you’ll also appreciate the opinions of each individual writer. In short, you’ll find what others in this niche are afraid to portray… sincerity and interaction,” said Founding Editor Jason Bacchetta. “Behind the scenes, you won’t find corporate opportunists calling the shots; just real men (and women) who share the same interests.”
TheRugged.com will offer the latest in fitness, finance, relationships, sports, style, tech toys, and headline news articles. The site boasts thousands of quotes, fun facts, tips, Q&A, and lively debates to keep men entertained and informed.
Articles are contributed from a staff of ten writers, selected to join the team after being chosen from among over 300 applicants.
"You wouldn't think that writers from all over the country would care so much about a new site. To most, it's just another paycheck. To us, however, it's about being part of something big from the beginning – a family," said tech writer Harry Marks.
Thousands have already jumped on board to receive updates from TheRugged.com through Facebook, Twitter, and their free email newsletter.
The site’s design took nearly a year to complete, with four “rules” that the design team had to work with: keep articles at the forefront, steer away from clutter, maintain user-friendly navigation, and put the current “status-quo” to shame.
“I was seriously impressed. After landing on the site for the first time, I knew that it wasn’t going to be your typical men’s portal. Clean design, easy to navigate, eye-catching photos, and top notch writing – some entertaining, others educational.” said Chris Hanna.
Bacchetta says that the online magazine (http://www.therugged.com/) is only the beginning. He plans to eventually take the brand offline as well to create additional products and services for men, including cologne, designer clothes, publications, consultations, and even training programs.
Daily News Slammed In Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit For Identifying The Wrong Woman As The Infamous “Manhattan Madam”
(PRWEB) February 6, 2009 — On February 6, 2009, Bojana Vuleta, a Queens stylist, filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the New York Daily News for falsely identifying her as the notorious "Manhattan Madam" in a February 1, 2009 news story entitled, "Madam's Slippery Story of Sex Attack." The Complaint states that the New York Daily News published a photograph of Ms. Vuleta outside her home, but falsely identified her as the notorious Kristin Davis who has been associated with overseeing a high-priced prostitution ring. The Complaint also alleges that the Daily News falsely reported, among other things, that Ms. Vuleta:
* lied to the police;
* was sexually attacked;
* was incarcerated for commission of various crimes; and
* was drunk and slurring her words in public.
Ms. Vuleta, who has never been involved in any of the above acts and who does not even know the "Manhattan Madam," has been harassed at her job and in her neighborhood by people who now claim to believe that she is living a double life. Ms. Vuleta's image, tagged with the term, "Manhattan Madam," has spread virally across the Internet, and is now linked with pornography, homosexuality, bestiality, transsexualism, sex toys, and similar topics.
The suit also complains that the Daily News and other news outlets have endangered Ms. Vuleta's life by, not only publishing her photograph, but also listing her home address prominently in the story. In previous articles, the Daily News reported that the "Manhattan Madam" was in possession of a notorious "black book," which listed the names of thousands of affluent "customers." Referring to the Daily News' article as the "height of irresponsibility and cruelty," Ms. Vuleta's lawyer, Michael Hiller of Weiss & Hiller, PC, stated that "the Daily News' decision to publish Ms. Vuleta's home address effectively invited every angry 'john' embarrassed by disclosure of his involvement in the prostitution ring to harm Ms. Vuleta." "It's nothing short of outrageous."
The Complaint demands punitive damages against the Daily News, in part, because the paper published another news story this morning, again falsely identifying Ms. Vuleta as Davis, even after Ms. Vuleta's attorneys notified the Daily News editor-in-chief, Martin Dunn, of the paper's blatant misconduct.
Craig Delsack, also representing Ms. Vuleta, commented: "This is simply a disgusting and dangerous act of yellow journalism." According to Mr. Hiller, a cease and desist letter was sent to the Daily News and all of the other media outlets directing them to pull the story and to print immediate retractions. The Complaint seeks $80 Million in damages. Case No. 101698-09. New York Supreme Court, New York County

Launch of New LGBT Online Magazine, 10,000 Couples, Receives International Welcome
(PRWEB) November 3, 2009 — Over 1,900 unique visitors from around the world join the celebration of diversity at the latest LGBT online magazine, 10,000 Couples. The first issue of 10,000 Couples, released for October of 2009, garnered over 6,200 page views from visitors in 94 countries around the globe.
As stated by Delena Wilkerson, Publisher and Editor, the philosophy of 10,000 Couples is to “celebrate, affirm and inspire healthy same-sex relationships, homes, families and community living.” In order to fulfill the goal of diverse representation for the international LGBT community, the magazine has over a dozen highly qualified writers and professionals contributing each month. Each contributor offers an individualized perspective on issues ranging from relationship matters to the latest news. Brenda S. “Sue” Fulton, Communications Director for Knights Out, states, “10,000 Couples brings together real people to tell our stories. It is a resource for those of us in a relationship, but at the same time a profound statement about our lives and our right to be treated equally as Americans.” In honor of Veterans Day, the November 2009 issue features the first of two in depth interviews with First Lieutenant Daniel Choi and his partner, Matthew Kinsey. Choi is a founding member of Knights Out and outspoken critic of the US Don't Ask Don't Tell policy.
Wilkerson is on a mission. "10,000 Couples (http://www.10thousandcouples.com) is a vehicle for expressing the passion that was triggered when my spouse and I were legally married last year. We’ve been together nearly 20 years, but having the opportunity to be legally connected really is important. I think discrimination against same-gender couples is widely accepted, because we are largely invisible – which, ironically, contributes to the continuing acceptance of that discrimination. At least, that is what I believe. That’s sort of how the ‘10,000 Couples’ title came about. I seriously want 10,000 same-gender couples profiled in the gallery by the end of 2010", she said.
Every issue of 10,000 Couples contains stories of love, pride and romance, relationship advice, practical home-making tips, and current commentary on issues from the political front. The most popular feature, however, is the 10,000 Inspiring Couples Gallery, celebrating the inspiration of prominent and everyday gay and lesbian couples across the world. In addition to current-event blogs, the site delves into matters of faith and racial and ethnic concerns within the community. Lindalisa Severo, President of LegalOut, states, “10,000 Couples is a wonderful new free online magazine that showcases healthy same-sex relationships in all areas of life. I appreciate the informative articles and the diversity of the site. A valuable magazine if you are searching for positive representation of the LGBT community and inspiring stories.”
10,000 Couples is dedicated to focusing on the lives and life experiences of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. The format is multi-dimensional in its approach to sharing the positive aspects and discussing the everyday challenges of same-sex couples. The magazine’s is subscription-based with unique interactive components and is free to registrants.
Wilkerson states, “The LGBT community is and always has been in positive, healthy and joy-filled relationships, and it is time those images get equal attention and equal care.”
