Humble Lionel Messi puts Barcelona success before personal glory after five goals in 7-1 rout of Leverkusen
Posted: at 10:38 pm
"I have always said that it's fantastic when things come off for you and you play well, but only if you meet your aims for the match. That's what happened against Leverkusen.
"The team played very, very well, the performance had some beautiful moments and we scored lots of goals."
Messi's modesty failed to deflect attention away from another magnificent display.
The Fifa World Player of the Year earlier became the first man to score four times in two Champions League games - he also hit four against Arsenal in 2010 - before adding a fifth with a crisp left-foot finish from the edge of the area.
Wednesday night's haul, plus the recent hat-trick for Argentina against Switzerland, means Messi has scored 14 goals in his last five games for club and country.
"It's all about enjoying the moment - from how it went with Argentina the other week to how it's going right now for my club," he said.
"The sweetest part of it, for me, is that the team continues its run of form at the moment, winning games in style; that's the way to go as far as we can in the Champions League.
"As for the draws for the next rounds, I don't care which opponents we end up facing or when. Any club which has reached this stage is only here because it has done its work very well, and whoever we draw are going to be tough opposition."
Barca team-mate Cesc Fabregas claimed Messi is the best player ever to play the game.
The midfielder said: "You can expect anything from Leo. He is the best player in history, we have never seen anyone like him.

Posted: at 10:38 pm
UK based company JMH Aspirations has launched its eagerly awaited website for people who are currently facing redundancy, returning to work after a period of absence, or newly qualified and trying to launch their career.
(PRWEB UK) 8 March 2012
The current UK financial climate has brought many signficant challenges. Unemployment has risen, particularly amongst young adults. In the three months to December 2011, 22.2% of 16-24 year olds were reported as unemployed. According to the Office of National Statistics, although unemployment had generally levelled by February at 8.4%, 26.7 million people were still looking for work--the highest rate since 1995. There also remains growing concern over UK graduates with 25% of those leaving University at the end of the 2011 academic year still unemployed in February 2012.
There are many examples of successful people in the world today who have achieved fame and personal success, Richard Branson; Margaret Thatcher; Ralph Lauren; J. K Rowling. They have vision, purpose and personal confidence, all of which drives their strategy for success. This is all within anyones reach when they have the self- belief to achieve.
JMH Aspirations courses are desgined specifically to teach skills that assist people in recognising and unlocking their personal strengths so they can forge their path to personal and professional success. With entreprenural tax reliefs and the creation of 21 enterprise zones last year, the UK government is eager to encourage the launch and growth of new businesses. For those looking to change career and start their own business enrolling on a course can help them get started towards achieving success.
With an already busy event schedule, the team is expecting its first events in Yorkshire and Sheffield to be a success: Choose a New Path to Travel Meet Your Challenge of Redundancy/Redeployment and Develop Strategies for Your Future - Return Confidently to Your Career are events which will strive to meet the specific needs of people facing redundancy, returning to work after a period of absence or looking to start a career. The company hopes that people will leave with a positive self belief, recognise their strengths and abilities, and have confidence and sense of empowered to take that first leap in their career/life.

A Personal Concierge Service That Will Do Your Errands—And Book You A Yacht On The French Riviera
Posted: at 10:37 pm
The Innovations In Luxury Series Is Sponsored By Mercedes-Benz
Quintessentially, a luxury personal concierge service, was launched in London in December 2000.
The company's founders, Aaron Simpson, Paul Drummond, and Ben Elliot (fun fact: he's the nephew of the Duchess of Cornwall), have since expanded into 63 cities with a network of 1,500 employees worldwide.
In addition, Quintessentially boasts a portfolio of 33 sister businesses, including an art advisory service and a bespoke luxury experience company, to cater to clients' needs.
But what exactly is a personal concierge service? And why would people want to use one? We spoke with Stacey Gordon, director of business development and communications at Quintessentially, about the company and its deep network of global connections.
Below is our conversation, edited for clarity:
What is Quintessentially?
Quintessentially is a personal concierge service which basically takes care of the needs of individual private members. Those private members purchase annual memberships which are divided into three different levels: the general level, which is a reactive service where you write in to a team of lifestyle experts and place a request and they fulfill that request. The next level up is the dedicated level, which is more of a personalized proactive service where not only are we filling your requests on a reactive level, we are also reaching out to you proactively based on your profile and your preferences.
The next level up is elite, where you have up to four account managers around the world. These are our most experienced account managers that have been with Quintessentially the longest. And they really are working with our members' personal and executive assistants to run their second homes, to plan their family trips, to do personal shopping, to buy gifts for their staff, et cetera. It's a hands-on level of service where the answer is really never no.
And the personal concierge is basically taking care of anything from restaurant reservations to hotel bookings to travel itineraries to fitness; anything that would fall under a lifestyle request.

Making the oil sands personal
Posted: at 10:37 pm
david finch, paul varellaANDdavid deephouse From Thursday's Globe and Mail Published Thursday, Mar. 08, 2012 2:00AM EST Last updated Thursday, Mar. 08, 2012 7:33AM EST
Ontario versus Alberta? East versus West? Last weeks oil sands comments by Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty harkened back to the national energy debate in the 1980s, when Calgary mayor Ralph Klein said: Let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark.
Do Canadians in Alberta and Ontario differ dramatically on this issue? We polled 400 people in Edmonton and Toronto. We wanted to know how much ones attitude toward the oil sands is influenced by regional proximity to the oil sands. The answer: Surprisingly little.
Both Edmontonians and Torontonians are concerned about the environmental impact of oil sands development. Yet, more than 80 per cent of both populations believe its possible to develop this resource in a way that balances economic development and environmental protection. Surprisingly, neither those in Toronto nor Edmonton view the oil sands from a regional lens: Both view it as important to all of Canada.
Our goal was to explore how personal interest influences attitudes. In other words, how strongly do our own perceived interests influence our opinions? The answer: a lot.
Regardless of where they live, people who perceive oil sands development to be linked to their personal prosperity are likely to show positive attitudes toward the industry. Transforming the oil sands discussion into a national debate is thus important to oil sands supporters. If industry can connect the dots between the oil sands and personal economic well-being, Canadians, regardless of geography, will support policies that encourage balanced development. Our research shows that Canadians have started to connect these dots.
The research also suggests that personal relevance affects opinions about environmental issues around oil sands development. The data, for example, indicate that, whether living in Leduc or Mississauga, 90 per cent of Canadians recognize climate change as one of our most important issues. Thus, geography plays no role in predicting whether individual Canadians think climate change is important.
But important is different than personally relevant. Unemployment is personal, but carbon dioxide is abstract. So when we asked whether people would be prepared to pay an extra $500 a year to fight climate change, most in Edmonton and Toronto said no. Its important but not personal.
This lack of personal relevance may explain why environmental groups have changed their tactics. A message that the oil sands will increase the planets temperature by a few degrees in 100 years is being replaced by one telling local farmers, local councils and first nations that the oil sands and their pipelines will risk the resource we hold most dear: water. Water is real, not abstract. Using this approach, environmental groups prompted the Obama administration to deny the proposed Keystone XL pipeline route in Nebraska. The conversation was now about water contamination; it was personal.
The rules of engagement of this oil sands battle are now driven by personal relevance, not historic provincial boundaries. Industry wins if Canadians connect the dots between oil sands development and personal economic prosperity. Environmental groups win if they can demonstrate personal negative environmental impact.

Life Fitness Debuts Personal Training System at IHRSA
Posted: at 10:37 pm
SCHILLER PARK, IL--(Marketwire -03/08/12)- Life Fitness, a global leader in fitness equipment manufacturing, will debut a system for personal trainers on March 15th at IHRSA, the world's largest fitness trade show. The new Synrgy360 combines several popular total-body, dynamic exercises into a system that helps personal trainers more effectively train individuals and groups, giving users fun, unlimited ways to exercise.
"Synrgy360 capitalizes on major worldwide fitness trends synergized in one solution with unlimited variety," said Dan Wille, vice president of global marketing and product development for Life Fitness. "This system helps create a personal training focal point to facilitate individual personal training and small group training. It includes accessories, flooring and educational materials together in one complete solution."
Synrgy360 can facilitate eight of the top 20 trends highlighted in the 2012 annual American College of Sports Medicine survey of fitness trends, including functional fitness, strength training, exercise and weight loss, personal training, core training, group personal training, boot camp and sport-specific training.
Synrgy360 supports exercisers of all fitness levels in accomplishing a wide variety of training goals, including metabolic weight loss and improved balance, coordination, speed, agility, flexibility, power and strength. To achieve these goals, the system combines several popular training applications, including functional training, boxing, suspension training, core training, reaction training, sports-specific training and strength training.
The modular design of Synrgy360 makes it possible for customers to choose a configuration that meets varying training philosophies. Gyms can choose four customizable exercise spaces on the Synrgy360x, like a boxing space, rebounder space, cable motion space, versa space, and versa cable space. It also features a monkeybar zone and two TRX Training Zones. The Synrgy360s has three customizable spaces with optional TRX Training Zone suspension bars. Depending on the configuration selected, Synrgy360x covers a minimal live training area from 720 to 802 sq. feet and accommodates up to 16 people at one time. The Synrgy360s also ranges in size but can occupy a live training area from 330 to 344 sq. feet -- the ideal size for an old racquetball or squash court -- and includes 3 exercise spaces.
Both Synrgy360x and Synrgy360s products were created in collaboration with the Life Fitness Academy and come with three recommended configurations, accessories, flooring, and educational materials designed to optimize training on the product. All product configurations include built-in accessory storage to keep facilities organized and maximize space. Each exercise space is designed with the appropriate storage for the space's required accessories. This allows trainers and users to focus on the workout rather than trying to find the right accessory.
IHRSA attendees can try out the new system by participating in a 30-minute express group fitness class during the show. Life Fitness trainers will host classes on Friday, March 16 at 6:45 a.m. 7:15 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. To register for a Synrgy360 class, visit http://www.LifeFitness.com/IHRSA. Space is limited.
Booth attendees can also take on a Synrgy360 Challenge, which takes place on March 16th during early morning workouts and from 11:00 - 3:00 p.m. One male and one female winner will be awarded prizes.
The Synrgy360 will be on display at IHRSA, March 15 and 16, 2012 at the Life Fitness Booth #2001. For more information about Synrgy360 and events at IHRSA, visit http://www.lifefitness.com/IHRSA.
