The Life Cycle of Food and Drinks analysed

The Life Cycle of Food and Drinks analysed

(PRWEB) April 30, 2004

Research and Markets announces the addition of this new report entitled "Food and Drinks Life Cycle" to its offerings

Generational marketing is undoubtedly becoming increasingly important in modern society, which is made up of more demanding consumers with higher expectations of the consumer goods they purchase. This trend is influencing all areas of modern marketing, from cosmetics to holidays, and numerous products and services are now being targeted at specific age groups.

It was, therefore, inevitable that this trend would begin to impact on the international food and drinks market. While there has long been an established market for baby foods, more recently, a defined market for childrenÂ’s food and drinks has developed, and there are now health products appearing that are aimed at issues relevant to specific age and gender groups, e. g. foods to tackle the symptoms of menopause among mature and senior women.

Projected population data show that, in general, the worldÂ’s population is ageing, with the percentage of older consumers increasing all the time, boosted by falling birth rates and rising life expectancy. This is set to impact significantly on the international food and drinks market, with older consumers becoming increasingly interested in functional foods and ways to prolong their lives through diet. The growing numbers of mature, senior and elderly consumers is set to have a significant impact on future demand for functional foods and is a particularly important issue for the modern food industry.

This new study looks at the impact of age and gender on eating habits and assesses the opportunities and threats for generational marketing in the food and drinks industry.

The report includes:

7 different age groups through the life cycle

60 tables and almost 20 charts illustrating population trends, market sizes, and new product developments

A series of colour plates showing how product designs change to meet the demands of particular age groups

Informed analysis of current and future issues that will impact on generational marketing, including issues relevant to population, nutrition, key market drivers, products and branding, advertising and promotion, and new product development

Easy-reference summaries pull together major issues relevant to each age group

Reader-friendly bulleted information throughout

Unnamed Dog Creates Website

Unnamed Dog Creates Website

Beloved Queen decided to create a "different" website. Set in medieval times, BQ writes in modern English.

(PRWEB) September 13, 2004

Known only as Beloved Queen, this dog is the "creator" of a website called The Dog Castle. On the main page and each of the product pages, Beloved Queen gives a bit of advice on things like dog houses, dog beds, dog supplies, dog training and dog health.

Though set in medieval times, Beloved Queen writes in the modern vernacular, and English is the preferred language of choice. No age is given for Beloved Queen, but it seems that she has many children in her care. Whether they are hers remains to be seen, but she has made references to the young Prince and young Princess, so we must assume they are truly hers.

Beloved King is consulted once in a while, and puts in his two cents worth. There are no pictures of Beloved Queen, but there is a cartoon of a dog with a crown on his head. There are no royal portraits.

The articles on the site are from various authors. Some of them wish to remain anonymous.

The Dog Castle remains undiscovered to this day.

Leading Analyst Firm Says ESS Has Distanced Itself from Competitors: AMR Research Says "ESS is Emerging as a Strong Candidate for Companies Seeking to Centralize Their EH&S Processes to a Single Platform..."

Leading Analyst Firm Says ESS Has Distanced Itself from Competitors: AMR Research Says "ESS is Emerging as a Strong Candidate for Companies Seeking to Centralize Their EH&S Processes to a Single Platform..."

AMR Research, the leading independent research firm focused on enterprise technologies, has issued a Green Alert on enterprise software platforms for sustainability: "When we surveyed the available landscape of technology options for support of EH&S efforts at the end of 2006, we discovered that despite the presence of a few mature players in the vendor ecosystem, the EH&S compliance market was crying out for a leader. ESS is emerging as a strong candidate for companies seeking to centralize their EH&S processes to a single platform outside of their ERP instance."

TEMPE, Ariz. (PRWEB) August 23, 2007

 AMR Research analysts Simon Jacobson and Colin Masson, authored the August 16 Green Alert -- Laying the Foundations for Sustainability with Environmental Compliance -- which includes a variety of perspectives on ESS, the leading provider of Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) and Crisis Management software for Governance, Risk and Compliance.

"AMR Research recently spoke with a series of ESS customers and their consensus is clear," the report continued. "Using ESS as a single environmental instance helps centralize EH&S structures that originally comprised a potpourri of homegrown and manual systems."

AMR Research observed that, "Companies with successful environmental compliance endeavors have embraced the concept of a standardized application or single global instance that can span across multiple regions. These cut across varied local, regional, and international policies, procedures, and distributed assets to ensure endless fluidity in environmental regulations."

"Organizations are choosing ESS because it is the only software on the market that reduces the complexities, risks and costs that are associated with multiple EH&S systems and vendors," said Robert Johnson, ESS President/CEO.

ESS software enables organizations to execute on their corporate initiatives for sustainability, environmental stewardship, health & safety, and greenhouse gas emissions management. These fully integrated solutions also move our clients beyond compliance and reporting, transforming their environmental and crisis data into the information needed to create business-enhancing performance metrics that drive out operational costs and risk.

A wave of corporate boardroom interest in the company's global and local EH&S solutions have led to record ESS software license sales. The company's momentum has been fueled by high-profile, multiple-site deals with global industry leaders Alcoa, Caterpillar and Duke Energy, all closed during the first half of 2007. Such deals indicate that market demand is growing for enterprise-level applications.

ESS' recent success is built on the proven performance of the industry's broadest, most innovative set of enterprise and mid-market software solutions. ESS has also distanced itself from competitors, AMR Research notes, through stronger partnerships with other global technology providers such as Microsoft, IBM and OSIsoft and is already on a fast-track plan to obtain SAP Netweaver certification.

About ESS

ESS is the leading provider of Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) and Crisis Management software for Governance, Risk and Compliance. Thousands of businesses, government agencies and other organizations worldwide are using ESS global and local software solutions. ESS is headquartered in Tempe, Ariz., with offices in Denver, Washington, Houston and Calgary, Alberta.

Sacramento Authors Writers Scott West Books Publisher Announce Sale & Promotional Bonuses: Writers Slash Prices - Add 2 for 1 Incentives / The World's Greatest Aphrodisiacs, How To Get Backstage, Cure For The Common Cold!

Author - Writer - Publisher Scott West, Scott West Books, is adding buying incentive bonuses to his popular book line and reducing prices to increase the overall value of his products. Scott West Books & the Sacramento writers have lowered the price of their entire catalog by 25 to 67 percent, including their best-selling guides (How To Get Backstage: The Definitive Guide To Meeting Performing Artists), The World's Greatest Aphrodisiacs and The Absolute Cure For The Commmon Cold. According to Scott West Books' publicist, George Goldstein, "These are the lowest price points that we have ever had for the popular Scott West book line!" http://www. rockandrollusa. com/ScottWestBooks. htm

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 20, 2004

Sacramento writer Scott West ( Scott West Books ) has lowered the price of his entire catalog by 25 to 67 percent, including his best-selling guides How To Get Backstage: The Definitive Guide To Meeting Performing Artists, The World's Greatest Aphrodisiacs and The Absolute Cure For The Commmon Cold.

Scott West Books has also added the 2004 Artists and Tour Guide as a free bonus to all Backstage Guide orders. According to Scott West Books publicist, George Goldstein, "We've added incentives to our popular books. For example, you get two guides for the price of one backstage guide and we've lowered the price by $10. For the price of far less than a very, very cheap concert ticket, you receive two books and the information on how to get free backstage passes and free concert tickets for the rest of your life."

Scott West Books / ROCKANDROLLUSA. COM has published the definitive guide on meeting recording/performing artists and celebrities, "How To Get Backstage: The Definitive Guide To Meeting Performing Artists". If you really want to find out how to meet your favorite celebrities, get backstage passes and tickets to sold out concerts, as well as the other secrets of the concert and ticket industry, this is the best guide of its kind. The 2004 editions have over 226 pages of information. How To Get Backstage and the 2004 artist/tour guide are ten times larger than virtually all of their competitiors' guides, and contains information on how and where to get backstage passes, meet celebrities, get concert tickets to sold out shows, and all of the sources, contacts and strategies needed to get the best seats, free tickets and passes. http://www. rockandrollusa. com (http://www. rockandrollusa. com).

"With groups like Blink 182, No Doubt, Justin Timberlake, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Vans Warped Tour, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more slated for this concert season, now is time to get backstage passes and tickets. A tight economy, slacking sales and hungry touring artists make summer 2004 perhaps the best concert season to see and/or meet your favorite artists and bands. ROCKANDROLLUSA. com has temporarily dropped their prices for both their original Backstage & Tickets guide and their 2004 tours and artist contacts update (over 225+ pages of concert and tour ticket-pass info) plus the bonus report. This is the biggest, best and most useful concert, ticket and backstage pass information package that you have ever offered or can find. We've cut our prices, added an extra guide to the package and a free bonus." http://www. rockandrollusa. com/HowToGetBackstage. htm (http://www. rockandrollusa. com/HowToGetBackstage. htm)

We've already seen record sales with this years incredible tour schedule and artists that are hungrier to go after their fans. See article on current year tour opportunities:

Www. prweb. com/releases/2004/5/prweb125533.htm (http://www. prweb. com/releases/2004/5/prweb125533.htm )

Goldstein added, "With over 225 pages of information in the two guides, we offer many, many times the information sold by our competitors in their 10, 20, 30 and 40 page guides."

According to Goldstein, "We have had many immitators, since our first guide was published in the mid-1980's and even more after we hit the internet in 1994. EBay made our guide illegal in 2003 after they decided that our guide sales were 'circumventing' EBAY concert ticket sales, since our guide shows how anyone can get free concert tickets and/or backstage passes to sold out concerts and shows."

Many ticket brokers and those selling concert tickets on EBAY are our guide buyers. I'm sure that our 35,000 plus guide readers have had some negligible effect on EBAY concert ticket sales, but we charge for our guides and EBAY was making commissions on our guide sales, just like they make commissions on sold out concert ticket sales."

Goldstein noted that Scott West Books has lowered the price of their popular "The World's Greatest Aphrodisiacs" book by $12 and added a free bonus incentive as well. "We're doing free bonus books or free add-on products which is a 2-for-1 incentive along with lower pricing the overall price. http://www. rockandrollusa. com/Aphrodisiacs. htm (http://www. rockandrollusa. com/Aphrodisiacs. htm)

The greatest savings is for hot selling winter book, "The Absolute Cure For The Commmon Cold," which has been slashed by 67 percent. This amazing guide includes all of the recent research on the newly discovered agents that kill both cold-causing viruses and other agents on contact. This book shows you how to kill cold viruses in 24 hours or less. Your doctor may say that this isn't possible, but has your doctor read the most recent double-blind study research or our guide? This guide and your health are worth every penny!

VANAINC UK, ANNOUNCE EYEBROW-RAISING PRODUCT ON FIRST VENTURE INTO THE UK MARKETPLACE

VANAINC UK, ANNOUNCE EYEBROW-RAISING PRODUCT ON FIRST VENTURE INTO THE UK MARKETPLACE

UK cosmetics distributor launch an extraordinary new proven skin treatment derived from the secretions of Chilean snails

(PRWEB) January 15, 2003

THE PRODUCT

Elicina is the new marvel skin treatment made from the secretions of Chilean snails, available for the first time in the UK, which utilises the snailÂ’s ability to use itÂ’s secretion to quickly repair both itÂ’s own body and calcium shell whenever it is damaged. The cream, which can be used to treat scars, burns, stretch marks, age spots, skin abrasions, wrinkles and acne is exclusively available from only one source and costs a fraction of the amount of other cosmetic treatments. The cream is so effective that it has been tried and tested by a Charity organisation for children with burn injuries called COANIQUEM with great effect.

Elicina has benefited from 15 years of research, testing and validation and has been endorsed by the British Counsel in Chile. It has received a world patent of invention No 38.615 in Switzerland and is protected by the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva.

THE COMPANY

Vanainc UK., distributor of high-end cosmetic and skin care products is the brain-child of Sheila Black, qualified psychologist and accredited beauty consultant.

With a reputation for distributing only the finest natural products hailing from around the world, Vanainc UK dispense products only to specialist outlets after extensive testing.

Sheila Black marketing director of Vanainc UK. commented, ‘One thing I realise in the beauty business is that models and celebrities always have to keep their skin looking good. Like the rest of us, they are constantly trying their best to look better whilst maintaining a youthful appearance. We realised that these products used to achieve and maintain such excellent results were only available to a select few outside the UK, and decided to make them available to everyone.’

PRODUCT BACKGROUND

Elicina was discovered by the Bascunan family, whilst running a snail farm back in 1980. The snail handlers noticed how quickly even minor cuts healed without infections or scars, along with the unusual softness of their hands. The cream contains allantoin in a natural form, unlike other dermatological products which use synthetically produced versions. It also contains antibiotics, protein, vitamins, collagen, elastin and Glycolic Acid eliminating dead skin cells and encouraging regeneration.

It is non-allergenic, contains no colours or perfumes and because it’s made to be used under a normal moisturiser, it’s non-greasy. It’s also as kind to the snails as it is to the skin – around 9,000 snails are kept in the best conditions of humidity, temperature, hygiene and nutrition and no chemicals are used in their diets. The serum extracted by cruelty-free methods is then sent to the Cosmetic Pharmaceutical Laboratory, which is responsible for conducting the microbiological and bacteriological tests that are required by the Chilean Health Authorities.

Elicina is available as a cream or aftershave balm.

San Francisco (PRWEB) November 20, 2009

FORA. tv, the leading destination and distributor of smart video programs, presents an online video series, “UNICEF (http://www. unicef. org) Celebrates 20 Years of Children's Rights,” in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

About the CRC
“The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most ratified human rights treaty in human history,” says UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman. “It has transformed the way children are viewed and treated throughout the world.”

The Convention has 193 ratifications, the process by which countries decide to be bound by the articles of an international treaty. It articulates a set of universal children’s rights, such as the right to an identity, a name and a nationality, the right to an education, and rights to the highest possible standards of health and protection from abuse and exploitation.

These rights are based on four core principles – nondiscrimination~ the best interest of the child as primary consideration in matters that affect them~ rights to life, survival and development, and respect for the views of children. The Convention also identifies the obligation of governments to do all they can to deliver these rights, and acknowledges the special role of parents in their children’s upbringing.

Nail Biting Treatment at Spas and Salons Leads to New Customer Loyalty

Nail Biting Treatment at Spas and Salons Leads to New Customer Loyalty

Next Step Enterprises, Inc. producers of Control-It! Nail Biting Treatment® for adults and children meet with over four thousand Day Spa and Beauty Salon Owners at the annual conference of Spas and Esthetics.

Orlando FL (PRWEB) November 9, 2005

Next Step Enterprises, Inc. producers of Control-It! Nail Biting Treatment® for adults and children meet with over four thousand Day Spa and Beauty Salon Owners at the annual conference of Spas and Esthetics held in Orlando the week of October 28th 2005.

Nail Technicians at upscale salons have long ago discovered the true value in providing solid service and product offerings to their customers, while many salon owners with narrow vision see the reapplication of acrylics to nail biters as "bread and butter" maintenance, never addressing the fundamental damage done on a daily basis to the health of the cuticle and nail bed and never allowing these clients to enjoy beautiful nails. Likewise clients feel resentment toward the maintenance, the cost, and ultimately, the maintenance provider.

One customer from a previous show, Rhonda Lashing is a nail technician at a Luxury Hotel Salon in Orlando explained all of her reformed nail biting clients have used Control-It! on her recommendation, and now spend even more money at the salon on real beautification processes that they feel good about, rather than just a dreaded "maintenance expense".

The new client loyalty that has been built with every nail biter in my client list (one in three people bite their nails), and the resulting referrals, customer satisfaction, salon loyalty and business building results really have been just phenomenal.

She also explained that each night, the body attempts to repair itself, barley able to keep up with nail biters who ravage the cuticles during the day. By using the Control-It! treatment the cuticle and nail bed are saturated with supplemental nutrients including Aloe Vera, Sunflower oil, Omega3 and vitamins A and E allowing for expedited healing of tearing and hang nails that are often a trigger to bite.

Within just a few days dramatic results are achieved, since by then, the nail biting damage is brought to a stand still due to the extreme bitter taste of the product, and the night time healing process finds less and less damage to be repaired allowing the nutrients to be used in building even healthier nail beds and cuticles. This helps the body to output firm cuticles and strong fingernails rather than the more brittle nail that is so often associated with the poor condition nail biting leaves client's cuticles and nail beds.

Once the client sees these dramatic improvements and results, they are further inspired to preserve and maintain their new nails. Most adults find it remarkably easy to end the habit by using the cream treatment for a full 3 to 6 weeks as recommended to ensure the subconscious habit and desire to bite is completely eliminated and clients have a new increased sense of self confidence with healthy cuticles and new nails they attribute solely to your professional advice and guidance. It makes sense to me, and more importantly, it makes sense to my customers.

Find out about opportunities to resell Control-It! Nail Biting Treatment at www. ControlitCream. com

Next Step Enterprises, Inc., is the developer and distributor of an all new, natural, nail biting treatment named: Control-It!. This product is used by those people afflicted with the nail biting habit, to help them control their urge to bite their nails.

Control-It! works naturally, and effectively, in a soothing, healing manner. This revolutionary approach has been widely accepted as opposed to the painful manner of the other, older products.

Control-It! contains Aloe Vera, as well as other healing ingredients, specifically formulated for the inflamed areas of the cuticles, as so often is the case with the advanced effects of nail biting.

Author Takes the Reader Directly Into the Mind

Author Takes the Reader Directly Into the Mind

Author explains why we are the way we are, why we behave the way we do, and how we can change to be happier, successful, and a more productive person.

Downey, CA (PRWEB) April 10, 2006

Life is a journey by itself. Mind is the driver, Body is the vehicle and our Spirit is the passenger. Once we begin to understand the driver, the journey becomes amazing and enjoyable.

“Finding the root cause of a problem leads to a solution, when you realize the causes behind unhappiness and misery, you turn the tide,” explains Gurdip Hari, author of “The Conscious, Unconscious & Super-conscious Mind” (ISBN 0976618605). “As you become conscious that the present moment is all there is, life becomes happier, successful, and productive.”

According to Hari, being the 90% share-holder of our mental domain, the unconscious mind is in complete control and plays games to stay as a dominant force by running our lives.

“Just like two partners in a company, one is a 90% share-holder and the other a mere 10. Won’t the major partner play whatever games he likes?” asks Hari.

Contradicting other models that claim the ego must be completely let go to bring the unconsciousness into consciousness, Hari argues that both need to share the stage at a 50-50 rate. “Positive and negative are required in equal proportions for a balanced outcome, just like electricity coming into our homes," clarifies Hari. “Imagine if 90% negative or positive comes in, what would happen? Won’t our electrical equipments blow up, in the same way 90% unconsciousness is blowing us up, making us angry, resulting into these senseless wars, failed marriages, relationships, and broken homes?” The impulses of the inner child need to be balanced, as they are our assets to turn into a child again. Hari continues, “The whole secret of turning spiritual is to become child-like, and return to that care-free, adventurous state.”

Hari, in “The Conscious, Unconscious & Super-conscious Mind,” further explains that to be able to realize who we are, beyond the limits of death and birth, our true nature and purpose on earth, we must enter self-reflection. “Even if that is not your goal, imagine the kind of blissful state you can be in, when you are able to balance the two segments of your mind, and attain your dreams, goals, improve relationships, and enjoy every single moment, every day of your life,” elucidates Hari.

Gurdip Hari is an author, motivational speaker, Reiki instructor and teacher of natural health techniques. Hari was born in India, lived in West-Africa for 25 years, he now resides in Downey, California. He semi-retired from a computer business in 2001 to carry on the humanitarian work of his father, Mr. Sukhdev Hari, and inspires mankind through his website: www. Humanityandlove. com.

“The Conscious, Unconscious & Super-conscious Mind” (ISBN 0976618605) may be purchased at any online bookstore or through the author’s website: www. jasminpublishing. com

Iamindependent Launches a New Health Insurance Program for the Contingent Workforce

Iamindependent Launches a New Health Insurance Program for the Contingent Workforce

Industry-leading Independent Contractor BPO solves the biggest challenge facing the growing population of independent professionals – access to quality health insurance

Tenafly, NJ (PRWEB) July 18, 2003 - iamindependent, the industry-

Leading Independent Contractor (IC) Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firm, today announces that it has launched a new health insurance program for independent contractors. Through this program, independent contractors (a. k.a. 1099Â’s, temps, consultants, etc.) gain access to iamindependentÂ’s nationally available comprehensive health insurance at affordable employer group rates.

Recent studies across all market segments have suggested that as many as 30 million people in the United States could be performing work on an independent contractor basis. The number of these flexible or contingent workers in America is on the rise due in part to personal career decisions, or the current lack of permanent employment opportunities as a result of a highly volatile permanent employment market.

Companies and government agencies will need to address the evolution of the workforce dynamics; begin to develop strategies of how to engage this growing workforce demographic most cost-effectively and without risk, and how to make available to contingent workers traditional-employment type perquisites such as health and medical benefits.

“Up until now independents have had a difficult time obtaining traditional employment-type services such as affordable and comprehensive health and medical coverage,” said Michael Beygelman, President and CEO of iamindependent. Mr. Beygelman continued, “Today we are pleased to announce a new service for contingent workers that will solve this market segment’s single biggest pain point.”

For additional information on iamindependentÂ’s services please call (201) 567-2434 or visit http://www. iamindependent. com/ (http://www. iamindependent. com/)

About iamindependent

Iamindependent, inc. is the leading provider of contingent workforce employment, management and web-enabled 1099 compliance solutions to Fortune 2000 companies that are seeking an integrated, cost-effective approach to the engagement, management and administration of their contingent workforce.

Independent professionals that become employed by iamindependent gain access to world-class health and medical insurance at large employer group rates; retirement plans, which include a 401(k) and a pension plan; payroll and a year-end W-2, and administrative services such as expense report processing, billing and collections.

Iamindependent is headquartered in Tenafly, NJ and has the capability of servicing customers in all 50 U. S. States.

The March Group Expects Favorable Valuations for Small and Midsized Businesses in 2010

The March Group Expects Favorable Valuations for Small and Midsized Businesses in 2010

With data in from 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, experts at M&A firm The March Group are expecting increased demand for the purchase of healthy small and midsized businesses.

Coral Springs, FL (PRWEB) May 6, 2010

Well performing small and midsized businesses should be seeing an increase in demand throughout the rest of the year according to experts at The March Group, a private mergers and acquisitions firm. For the firms that have managed to stay healthy throughout the recession, there is good reason to believe that the reductions in businesses sales in 2009 will lead to a rebound in sales. The M&A specialists at The March Group have gathered quite a bit of information to lead to this conclusion.

The number of mergers and acquisitions dropped in 2009, with less than half of what was done the previous year, and many of these sales involved businesses that were in financial distress. Mergers and acquisitions started to rebound a bit in the second half of 2009, however, and after the first quarter of 2010, it is beginning to appear as if activity is back to the level it was in 2005 when the economy was much healthier.

There may be some concern over the availability of credit, but the M&A experts at The March Group have seen that financing is still available for quality companies, although it is still not what it was three or four years ago. It has definitely improved compared to last year. The conclusion is that there is much business owners can do to increase their valuation. And with the pent-up demand for mergers and acquisitions, there are plenty of opportunities for well-performing firms. The March Group is prepared to help throughout the entire M&A process; for more information visit www. marchgroup. com.

About The March Group:
The March Group is a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm dedicated to the middle market. Founded in 1986, The March Group is headquartered in North America. The company employs over 200 professionals and has built a dynamic network of business relationships with buyers and investors worldwide.

FREE CDs That Give Patients Fast Relief From Pain and Insomnia Without Drugs

FREE CDs That Give Patients Fast Relief From Pain and Insomnia Without Drugs

Three deep relaxation CDs (Migraine, Sleep and Chronic Pain) being given away free to health and medical professionals in the United States.

Hemet, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2004

David Strattford, Producer/CEO at RelaxTRAX, has developed three deep relaxation CDs that help your body's natural ability to sleep, fight pain, and handle stress, and heÂ’s giving them away free* to health and medical professionals in the United States.

David is best known as an award winning Record Producer and Recording Artist Manager for acts like The Ink Spots and many others in the US, Canada, England, Japan and Hong Kong.

What few people know is that in 1990, David nearly lost his life in an accident when he went over a 750 foot cliff in his car. His injuries were severe and he broke most everything including his neck, back, hip, leg, etc., etc., etc.

“For many years I lived on pain killers like Demerol, Morphine, and Codeine. Then one day I discovered an article about how sound - beta and theta waves - could trigger your body to release endorphins. Endorphins, a morphine-like substance produced naturally in the body, are truly amazing. They can relieve pain, help you sleep, enhance our immune system, block the lesion of blood vessels, help improve your memory and have anti-aging effects by removing super oxides from your body. Now I use the CDs when I’m in pain or having difficulty sleeping, says Strattford.”

David created and produced the Migraine, Sleep and Chronic Pain CDs in Hawaii by digitally recording the ocean, a stream, rain, and a synthesizer. Then he added the beta and theta waves that cause your brain to release endorphins.

These CDs normally sell for $19.99 plus S&H, but health and medical professionals can get them FREE by sending their name, profession (doctor, dentist, nurse, etc.), address, phone, fax, email address, and $3.00 per CD (*to help cover shipping and handling) to: David Strattford, 45055 E. Florida Ave., Suite 120, Hemet, CA 92544.

$5.7 Trillion Cost of Twelve Worst Consumer Mistakes Is Exposed

$5.7 Trillion Cost of Twelve Worst Consumer Mistakes Is Exposed

The twelve most disastrous mistakes American consumers have been researched and ranked by a consumer advocate. Their total estimated cost amounts to a staggering $5.7 trillion per year. Money management mistakes account for approximately one trillion dollars of this total while disastrous personal decisions including medical and safety mistakes cost another $2.2 trillion. Crime at $2.5 trillion is the biggest problem, including fraud and the failure of consumers to protect themselves adequately.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 27, 2007

What are the twelve most disastrous mistakes American consumers make?

One consumer advocate has researched and ranked them. Their total estimated cost amounts to a staggering $5.7 trillion per year. Astonishingly, that averages out to a yearly dollar drain of $19,000 for every man, woman and child.

The shocking facts are exposed in "The 12 Biggest Consumer Goofs," a new Special Report from the Consumer Freedom Alliance. It ranks the most damaging mistakes being made by American consumers, based on the best available estimates from a variety of consumer organizations and governmental agencies.

"These mistakes account for a little over one half of America's $11 trillion GNP, making these mistakes a virtual must-know for all Americans" commented CFA president David Snell. "Consumers can tremendously benefit in many areas, from crime prevention to career advancement."

According to this report, money management mistakes account for approximately one trillion dollars of the total. Disastrous personal decisions including medical and safety mistakes cost consumers $2.2 trillion yearly. Crime is the biggest problem, including fraud and the failure of consumers to protect themselves adequately: Its yearly cost is a whopping $2.5 trillion. "Inevitably this type of study requires some approximations, but the overall conclusions are not in any serious doubt" said Snell.

Report details

Multiple Health Studies Suggest a Link Between Pregnant Women Taking Prescription Antidepressants and Birth Defects

Multiple Health Studies Suggest a Link Between Pregnant Women Taking Prescription Antidepressants and Birth Defects.

To support mothers and their babies adversely affected by antidepressant medication, LawyersandSettlements. com promotes free case evaluations from leading law firms

Wilmington, NC (PRWEB) February 16, 2006

New medical research shows that women taking antidepressants, such as Prozac or Paxil, while pregnant may increase health risks of their unborn baby. Alleged health problems of babies exposed to SSRI antidepressants include heart defects, congenital malformations, pulmonary hypertension, and drug-withdrawal symptoms.

Paxil, one of the most widely prescribed SSRI antidepressants has been under attack by medical professionals as the FDA released information of increased heart defects in babies when their mothers had taken Paxil during the first trimester of pregnancy. The study involved more than 3,500 pregnant women.

Other studies have analyzed multiple antidepressants to further examine the possible link to birth defects. Commonly prescribed SSRI Antidepressants include: Prozac (fluoxetine), Paxil (paroxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Luvox (fluvoxamine), Celexa (citalopram), Effexor (venlafaxine), Lexapro (escitalopram). In the past, some SSRI drugs have been associated with increasing suicidal tendencies in patients.

InstallFree 7bridge Solves Application Compatibility Issues on Windows 7

InstallFree 7bridge Solves Application Compatibility Issues on Windows 7

Newest Product Addresses Biggest Customer Challenge in Windows 7 Migration by Preparing Applications for Rapid Deployment

Stamford, CT (PRWEB) June 14, 2010

InstallFree, Inc. (http://www. installfree. com/), a leading developer of desktop application virtualization and management solutions, today announced InstallFree 7bridge, its newest product designed to meet the demand for help with application compatibility issues on Windows 7 (http://www. youtube. com/watch? v=5j5oELalNzc). With 7bridge, customers can have their mission-critical applications packaged and prepared for Windows 7 deployment by InstallFree, dramatically accelerating their implementation. Customers can later upgrade to the full InstallFree Bridge product, and expand their use of the technology to reduce the overall cost and complexity of desktop application management.

The core application virtualization technology in 7bridge eliminates desktop and web application compatibility issues, including conflicts with legacy Java applications (http://www. youtube. com/watch? v=lV9pJZ9ZBds&feature=player_embedded) and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 (http://www. youtube. com/watch? v=XUk0dMHLygY&feature=player_embedded) on Windows 7.

InstallFree 7bridge is the only solution on the market today that can seamlessly run incompatible XP applications on Windows 7 — without requiring application reprogramming, or costly infrastructure and VM management. The InstallFree 7bridge is immediately available and customers can register for the solution on the 7bridge web site (http://www. migrate2win7.com/).

“We had terrific customer response earlier this year to our limited offer of application packaging with the purchase of the InstallFree Bridge product. It validated our view that customers have an urgent need to ease the immediate pain in Windows 7 migration, which is application compatibility,” said Yori Gabay, CEO at InstallFree. “It’s a market gap that InstallFree is uniquely positioned to fulfill, because our technology is designed to solve the root causes of application compatibility issues: system and component dependencies, operating system security and Internet Explorer conflicts. InstallFree 7bridge will stand apart in the market as a product that lets customers solve their critical problems right away. Instead of dealing with application packaging, they can simply specify their top incompatible applications, and let us prepare the applications for immediate deployment.”

Recent analyst research has reported application compatibility issues as one of the largest problems in Windows 7 migrations. Estimates vary by organization, but can range as high as 50% of deployed applications. The InstallFree 7bridge application virtualization solution can provide immediate resolution and does not require undertaking an expansive IT virtualization initiative.

“Application virtualization helps streamline PC application deployment, and can help address packaging and application coexistence problems in most organizations,” said Terrence Cosgrove, senior analyst at Gartner. “The technology can help solve tactical problems, such as specific application conflict issues or browser compatibility problems, but can also ultimately improve overall desktop application delivery and management”. [See: “Immature Desktop Management Groups Benefit Most From Application Virtualization,” by Terrence Cosgrove, May 13, 2010.

Many IT organizations are finding out that application compatibility issues are causing their Windows 7 migration projects to delay or fail. InstallFree enables IT to get out of the “application repackaging business” by creating isolated, modular and portable virtual applications that can run on any version of Windows and be updated on-the-fly. InstallFree Virtual Applications seamlessly integrate into the end-user’s environment and fully communicate with the OS and other applications without making any changes to the underlying OS file system or registry. They enable full end-user productivity in locked-down PC environments and create a fully portable end-user environment that can be easily migrated between computers and operating systems.

InstallFree | Designed for Users. Built for IT

InstallFree is a leading developer of application compatibility and portability solutions to help customers accelerate the adoption of new operating systems and applications, resolve conflicts and reduce the cost and complexity of delivering and managing their desktop applications. InstallFree stands alone in offering a virtualization approach that creates modular desktop elements that can be independently packaged, managed, configured and updated while leveraging the customer’s existing IT infrastructure.

InstallFree has technology alliance partnerships with BigFix, BMC Software and Red Hat, and solution partners serving the education, healthcare, financial services and the public sector.
