Guns Prohibited in FedEx Warehouse Where Gunman Opened Fire

Guns Prohibited in FedEx Warehouse Where Gunman Opened Fire Signage at the entry of the Kennesaw, Georgia, FedEx warehouse where a gunman went on an April 29th rampage clearly indicates no guns are allowed in the building.

In other words, the FedEx warehouse joins a growing and infamous list of "gun-free zones" that have proved to be target-rich environments for men determined to carry out heinous acts.

GunsSaveLives.net acquired a photo, originally published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Twitter account, of the sign which bans guns and appears to ban knives as well.

Ironically, the Associated Press reports the FedEx gunman also "held a knife" during the early stages of his attack, so that ban was not effective either.

If you consider the heinous attacks at Ft. Hood (2009), the Aurora movie theater, Lone Star College, Sandy Hook Elementary, Santa Monica College, the DC Navy Yard, and Ft. Hood (2014), to name but a few, the types of gun used were extremely disparate. The common thread in all these heinous acts is that they took place in locations where the gunman knew his victims would not be armed.

Ayusa Kicks Off Search for American Families to Host Exchange Students in Illinois

Ayusa International is currently seeking volunteer U.S. host families in Illinois interested in hosting a foreign exchange student for the upcoming 2014-2015 school year.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2014

Ayusa International, a non-profit organization that for 31 years has promoted global learning and leadership through high school student cultural exchanges and leadership programs, is launching its annual search for families in Illinois interested in hosting international students for the 2014-2015 school year.

Ayusa is looking for Illinois host families throughout the entire state, and specifically in and around the following communities:·     Chicago & suburbs
·     Northbrook
·     Naperville, Aurora
·     Oak Park
·     Rockford
·     Morton
·     Joliet, Plainfield
·     Springfield, Taylorville
·     Shiloh

The Germann family of Springfield is thrilled with their high school exchange student, Pauline from the Netherlands. “Hosting our students – who are now our ‘kids’ – has been one of the happiest and most enjoyable experiences we’ve ever had,” said host mom Annie Germann. Added host dad Gary Germann, “We honestly believe we get as much from the hosting experiences as our ‘kids’ do!”

Ayusa (which stands for “Academic Year in the USA”) works with diverse families who are interested in hosting an international student of high school age. Families without children, empty nesters, military families, retirees, and single people are all welcome. Ayusa families come from all 50 states and reside in rural, suburban and urban communities. Host families provide three meals a day and a bedroom (either private or shared). Each exchange student is supported by a professionally trained local representative from Ayusa who works closely with the family, student and local school throughout the program.

How to Host an International Student
Families interested in hosting an exchange student with Ayusa can follow three simple steps:

·     Step One: View information online about Ayusa’s program and types of students that are interested in living with a host family and spending a year in the United States.

·     Step Two: Complete your Ayusa application and criminal background check for hosting, which can be done online. Ayusa will provide a list of questions about families and their local high school, request five references, and ask family candidates to sign a program agreement. An Ayusa representative can help complete the application, answer any questions and connect potential host families with other host families in a specific community.

·     Step Three: Once the application is submitted, an Ayusa representative will assist with completion of the additional hosting requirements – and an in-home interview with an Ayusa representative. Once a host family is approved, they may login to select a student. Ayusa representatives can also help find a student to match a family’s specific interests and activities.

Ayusa’s exchange students are 15-18 years old and come from more than 60 countries around the world, including Brazil, Japan, Germany, Ecuador, France, the Netherlands, Morocco, China, and Spain. All students are fully insured, bring their own spending money, and are proficient in English.

“Illinois is a popular destination for Ayusa exchange students visiting the U.S., perhaps because of the dedication that our communities show to welcoming these wonderful young people,” said Patti Good, Ayusa senior regional director for Illinois. “Hosting an exchange student is like watching a rosebud bloom into a beautiful flower. The students arrive, very nervous, sometimes timid and unsure of themselves; by the time they leave, they are experienced, mature, and quite comfortable family members. It’s truly amazing to see this transformation year after year. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like sharing your Illinois lifestyle with a student from abroad, now is the time to take action – please give us a call to start building an international friendship that will last a lifetime!”

According to The Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET), more than 27,000 international high school students between the ages of 15 and 18 years old studied in the U.S. during 2013-2014 as part of U.S. government-sponsored international exchange programs. Ayusa has been a member of CSIET for more than 25 years – since its foundation. CSIET evaluates U.S.-based high school exchange programs so that students, families and schools can identify reputable inbound and outbound exchange organizations.

Ayusa is a 501(c)3, and an official U.S. Department of State designated Exchange Visitor Program Sponsor. Families interested in learning more about hosting a foreign exchange student can visit http://www.ayusa.org or call 1-888-552-9872.

Digi-Me Teams Up with the Hit Internet Reality Show, Top Recruiter

Aurora, Illinois (PRWEB) April 30, 2014

Digi-Me, under the parent company JSTN, is pleased to announce its partnership with the hit Internet reality show, Top Recruiter. About to embark on its third season, the Miami-based show creates various challenges for its cast of top players in the recruitment space, with a single winner being crowned at the end. The brainchild of executive producer Chris LaVoie, the show has a flashy production style that is up there with the best of Hollywood, but the stories are 100% human, inviting viewers to peek into the emotional journeys of unemployed individuals as well as the recruiters who are trying to help them.

The ultimate goal of the show is to raise awareness of the best tools, skills, and practices for connecting jobs and job-seekers. And since creating technologies that facilitate those connections is Digi-Me's domain, a partnership between the two was a natural next step.

"Digi-Me is all about using technology and automation to make the marriage between the recruiter and their dream candidate faster and easier," said Lindsay Stanton, Chief Client Officer of Digi-Me. "Through our partnership with Top Recruiter, broader audiences will be exposed to the power of technology-infused video to increase search engine optimization, expand mobile reach, and provide enhanced candidate tracking."

As part of the Digi-Me/Top Recruiter relationship, Digi-Me will be featured in an episode of the show, with Stanton acting as a judge and subject matter expert. "I am excited to have Digi-Me as a sponsor and look forward to seeing industry expert, Lindsay Stanton, in action as a judge," added LaVoie.

Since the show is a competition, specific details about the Digi-Me episode cannot be disclosed at this time in order to maintain a level playing field. However, it can be divulged that the episode will be filmed late in the spring at a major Florida job fair. It will air on November 4, 2014, on the web at toprecruiter.tv.
