Both the global and North America lists are based on revenues from the previous year.

“As we approach our 10-year anniversary in December, this recognition is affirmation that we are on the right path to making WorldVentures a household name in the direct-selling travel sector,” said Co-founder and Chief Visionary Officer Wayne Nugent. “It’s humbling to be honored alongside so many trailblazers in the industry, and to know we rank among the best.”

WorldVentures CEO Dan Stammen concurred: “Now in our fourth consecutive year of record-setting growth, WorldVentures is fulfilling the vision we had 10 years ago upon founding the company. We proudly accept this honor as a challenge to continue expanding, growing and improving customer experiences.”

Allan Zade Founder of Z-Theory intensifies his research in areas of Space, Time and Motion

Geneva, Switzerland : World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has recently made an international publication WO 2015/040505 of the patent application IB2014/061286 titled ‘A Signal Medium Motion measurement apparatus and Operation Supporting Methods’, (Author Name – Allan Zade). The invention elaborates on a wide area of physic phenomena related to motion. The proposed technology offers wide opportunities for business and science.

Speaking on the occasion, Research Scientist Allan Zade explained, “There is wide implication of these findings that’s never used before. The apparatus can be used for accurate determination of air and water crafts speed of motion relative to its surrounding medium air or water. This would work regardless of medium condition like pressure, temperature, salinity or extreme condition like a frozen aircraft surface.”

Adding said Dr. Prasanna Kumar, PhD (Math), PhD (Eco), PhD (Pol.sc), an Independent Researcher, “In case of scientific applications, the same technology offers the possibility to make determination of observer-to-light relative motion. Unlike famous Null result of every kind of Michelson-Morley experiment, the proposed technology exceeds that limitation and detects such motion by the ultimate instrumental operability that stays against postulates of Special Relativity. That capability comes from the transformation of a Round-Trip light beam experiment for two One-Way experiments.”

Said, Mr. Mohit Kumar Singh, Assistant Professor, ECE Department of R. D. Engineering College Ghaziabad, Coordinator of National Seminar on Z-Theory & Its Applications held in the College, 2013, “the patent application has strong relationship with Allan Zade’s research that was earlier published in UK and US in the form of a book titled ‘Z-Theory and its Applications’ (ISBN-13 978-1452018935). The theory examines many questions of Space, Time and Motion of every kind.”

Further research in the same area gave result of physical possibility of realization of an “impossible” device like a True Space-Velocity Detector (TSVD). The patent application describes in details that possibility as well as methods that should be used to make measurements. The unification of motion leads to possibility to use the same methods to make measurement of relative motion even for man-made crafts relative to water and/or air.
