Howard Goberstein is more than the typical animal lover. He is actually a known advocate for animals, especially the canine species. Howard Goberstein knows that the recession has pushed a lot of dog owner to put their dogs up for adoption. For those who can be categorized under this category, Howard Goberstein would like to tell them that they have to be sure that whoever gets their dog from them will actually be caring towards the animal.

To do so, they can simply observe the buyer’s body language because it reflects a lot about the true personality of a particular individual. In fact, people can say something and yet mean something else. Body language is a great indicator for what is truly in a person’s heart and mind.

Howard Goberstein just does not want dogs to be in the wrongs hands, such as those of Class B dealers. Class B dealers are those who purchase dogs from the black market so that they can earn some money from various research facilities.

These facilities are merely interested in conducting a series of experiments on the dogs, poking needles and opening them up to view their internal organs. In short, they will be used and abused in every way imaginable.

The Stouffville Spirit of the OJHL is also pleased to announce that their defenseman has been named team captain.

Conrad Seghers traveled to the Cameron Highlands and loved it right at the moment he arrived. He believes that it is a nice place to relieve himself off the heat and to experience the lush interior of Malaysia. Its being one of the top vacation spots in Malaysia is most likely affected by the fact that is has one of the finest climates in the entire Southeast Asia.

Apart from being a beautiful and breathtaking vacation spot, its wonderful climate is also a reason why it was selected as a hill station back during the British colonial times. Conrad Seghers even spent most of his days admiring and experiencing nature. He played with the butterflies, smelled orchids and checked out the waterfalls.

Cameron Highlands had a huge number of hiking trails. Conrad Seghers personally tried some of them for his daytime walks into the forest. There were short-paved trails for shorter expeditions. To avoid getting lost, Conrad Seghers purchased a trail map from the information center located in Tanah Rata. This trail map did not just show where the trail is located, but it also indicated the level of difficulty a certain trail had. For instance, if it said that a particular trail was only for the muscular, tourists best believe it.

Byron Rainer’s inspiration in everything he does and every endeavor he undertakes comes from the love of his three children whom he deeply adores. The birth of his two boys and his daughter has given him some of his proudest moments. Although he works hard for them, he makes sure that he spends as much time with his children as he can. He sets a good example for them and instills in them values that would make them happy and productive citizens.

Byron Rainer works an average of 12 hours each day at O. Turner & Company, LLC so as his children would lack for nothing. This is true especially in the area of education, because he knows that education is the foundation of every person’s future. Not every parent, however, can or will do as he does, nor every child have access to the same opportunities as his children do.

Thus, Byron Rainer volunteers his time and resources to a Florida and Washington, D.C.-based non-profit organization called Education Advantage Foundation. He does this so that he can give back his blessings to others, to instill in his children the value of education and to set a good example for them. Along with parents like Byron Rainer, education professionals and corporate leaders, Education Advantage Foundation works toward expanding opportunities for children via academic enrichment.

In kindergarten, Bruce Drago won his first street fight. He overwhelmed his enemies in the hundreds of brutal street brawls he’s been in over the years, never losing in any street fight. In a matter of mere seconds, a total of 97 of these ended with his enemies sprawled unconscious. He took down 60 street-hardened men in a vicious two-hour fight “witnessed and verified” by others in one of these fights. In the practice and teaching of street-fighting, he brings his many years of training as a professional martial artist and as an undefeated fighter.

In less than one minute, Bruce Drago can crush any fighter, trained in any system of martial arts. Defeating multiple attackers – which is the usual strategy used by gangs – is his specialty. He has picked apart all his martial arts training – picking up the useful while throwing away the useless stuff – and perfected the simpler and deadlier aspects into a fighting strategy all his own, making his enemies’ weapons ineffectual and even when he’s unarmed. Many people, including ex-Special Ops guys before they head overseas on their assignments, have been trained by Bruce Drago.

Bruce Drago has been studying martial arts since he was five years old. He has multiple black belts in Korean and Japanese martial arts and is a member of the International Black Belt Hall of Fame. In 2002-’03, he was certified as an expert in Krav Maga – the Israeli Defense System of contact combat based on the street-fighting skills developed by Imi Lichtenfeld. Bruce has been in the fitness industry for 30 years. His street fight videos are available at: http://www.totalvid.com/searchResults.cfm?strSearch=%22Bruce%20Drago%22
