Master of Malt announce the hearty, spiced rum Rumbullion!

(PRWEB UK) 17 November 2011

Master of Malt are proud to announce the release of an intensely spiced, old-fashioned rum from Professor Cornelius Ampleforth. Rumbullion! is one of the most cockle-warming spiced rums on the market.

Based on a blend of fine, high proof Caribbean rum, Rumbullion! is made using luxuriously creamy, sweet Madagascan vanilla, and a generous handful of zesty orange rind. Finally, fresh cinnamon and cloves are added, and just a hint of cardamom.

The recipe was loosely based on old-fashioned spiced maritime rums, with a huge level of heart-warming spiciness. The result is a very rich, full-bodied spiced rum that harkens back many years to the days of pirates and merchant men.

Each bottle is wrapped in crinkled brown paper, featuring a print of a hand-drawn illustration depicting an old naval grog tub, bearing the words The Queen, God Bless Her. The bottle necks are wrapped with twine, and finally each bottle is individually dipped in black sealing wax.

Superb when served neat, Rumbullion! also works brilliantly with a squeeze of fresh lime, or as a long drink with old-fashioned cola and plenty of ice.

You can buy Rumbullion! from Master of Malt for

Losing a Cell Phone Can Mean Losing So Much More

Winnipeg, MB (PRWEB) October 19, 2006

People lose items daily. With the myriad of gadgets and portable electronics today, people are inundated with things to carry around. It is only natural to misplace a few items from time to time. For those that are thinking that it could never happen to them.

Here are some facts:

New 'St' Domain Extensions Offer Entrepreneurs Lucrative Options for Websites

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) July 5, 2006

Taking a new approach, LoveTheName.com, an Internet Web-Address Company who is best known in the industry for leveling the playing field to allow smaller investors easier access into the lucrative domain, has gone the extra mile in the sale of St domain name extensions. The domain name Texas.st has been made into a fully operating website so that entrepreneurs can see the value immediately of owning a site associated with an entire state.

Blaire Fanning, a marketing professional in Florida commented, They are basically not only selling a cutting edge domain name, but also presenting the entire business plan. One glance at the site "http://www.Texas.st will show that all anyone would have to do is contact any business, school, agency, event, anything, and just charge a nominal yearly fee to be listed -- and they are up and running with a profitable long term business.

This Robin Hood style approach has generated so much interest that LoveTheName.com is now the selected sponsor for the brand new USA State Domains or USA Geographic Web-Addresses currently being offered for sale. If you cannot afford to invest in Internet Real Estate right now, this news may give you some ideas. LoveTheName.com now requires all its seller clients to pay a mandatory 10% referral fee to anyone who sends a buyer. This means that you or anyone (even if flat broke) can instantly earn over $ 50,000 just because they referred a person, maybe your boss, who buys the State of Texas, http://www.Texas.St or $ 25,000 for the State of Hawaii, http://www.Hawaii.St.

Today, both Physical Space and Cyber Space = Real Estate, says Rever Thabiti, Sr. VP Sales & Mktg. for LoveTheName.com. He adds, The difference is, unlike buying physical space, any size budget from $ 6 to $ 20 million can own a piece of cyberspace. Another difference thats all too appealing to traditional real estate investors is that there are no floods, hurricanes, fires, tornadoes and earthquakes to damage your property in cyberspace. These qualities of low cost, less fear and worry-free maintenance hassles have caught the attention of all types of investors both large and small.

Another attraction to Cyberspace investing is that it expands our capabilities not found in physical space such as the ability to create a storefront Web-Address thats always open and performs thousands of trans-actions while you sleep at night, Says Beth Loehrke, media spokesperson for LoveTheName.com. Cyberspace is the only place where a single individual can have a huge global impact without needing personal qualifications or needing to own a newspaper or TV station. Then, add the appreciation value always associated with owning any valuable property and it becomes obvious why the investor markets are moving so quickly in this direction. Industry experts now tell us that the Empire State Building, Ebay.com or Google.com would each list for the same price if they were put on the market for sale today, she added.

Thabiti says, Many new investors prefer cyberspace because it also ignores your race, religion, gender, education or criminal background. It is the absolute loophole for those who need to find a place where the playing field is the most leveled and where one can compete fairly in todays market without regard to all of the prejudices found throughout physical space. People with a variety of physical handicap limitations (including old age) operate many successful businesses online. He also says, Poor people can not afford good legal defense and are victimized forever by a corrupt system after receiving a conviction. Our society does not offer positive incentives for people to redeem themselves for immature mistakes. We are committed to do everything we can to prove that anyone can still succeed in cyberspace when society has turned its back on you.

Loehrke adds, The growing acceptance of Internet Real Estate values is causing advantages to those who use to be considered as unfortunate or disadvantaged, this is not the case any more. To find out more, please visit http://www.LoveTheName.com or call 720-987-5252.

Clionsky Neuro Systems (CNS-Neuro) Announces Publication of Study Finding Elderly Patients Unable to Recognize Their Memory Loss

Springfield, MA (PRWEB) November 18, 2011

Mitchell Clionsky, Ph.D. and Emily Clionsky, M.D. of CNS-Neuro, announced new data supporting the use of screening tests to identify cognitive loss in older Americans. Their study asked two hundred elderly patients and their families to rate how well they think and remember. They found that the patients answers had no relationship to their tested cognitive ability, that the relatives were minimally better, and that doctors should measure cognition rather than asking about it during the Annual Wellness Visit. These findings, published in the November 2011 Journal of Family Practice (http://www.jfponline.com/pages.asp?id=10018), may help doctors decide which of their patients need treatment for memory loss.

The authors, a neuropsychologist and an internist/psychiatrist, asked patients and their loved ones to rate their abilities to pay attention, remember, start new projects, make judgments and care for themselves. They found that patients were unable to accurately determine if they were normal or not. They also discovered that their loved ones, who accompanied them to a cognitive testing appointment, were scarcely better. By contrast, their 5-minute office test, the Memory Orientation Screening Test (MOST) accurately identified these problems and was significantly better at this than a longer test most often used by doctors, the Folstein Mini-Mental State Exam.

This finding is particularly important since, in January 2011, Medicare has encouraged all seniors to have an Annual Wellness Visit. The AWV is a no-copayment office visit in which doctors are asked to identify cognitive impairment, measure depression, take the patients blood pressure, calculate their body mass index, document all current illnesses and list all current medications to formulate a preventive health plan for the next year. Medicare had not instructed doctors how to identify cognitive problems, instead relying on their office observations and reports of patients and family members. But, the findings of this study suggest that such impressionistic data is misleading. Patients deny or overrate their thinking. They tell doctors that they remember all that they need to remember and they give excuses for their memory failures. If doctors take these reports at face value, they will fail to make a diagnosis of dementia in its early stages and will not start memory-stabilizing medications when they are the most likely to be beneficial. In an era when Alzheimers disease and other dementias affect almost 6 million seniors and is increasing every year, this reliance on inaccurate data leads to a failure to diagnose and treat this important condition.

Dr. Mitchell Clionsky, the lead author and experienced neuropsychologist, reports that most of the patients he sees are referred to him fairly late in their illness. By the time they are identified, they may have given away their savings, caused auto accidents, or become unable to live on their own, he notes. Dr. Emily Clionsky, a physician who specializes in treating dementia, knows that when patients with thinking problems are diagnosed earlier she may be able to improve their memory capacity by treating underlying or contributing medical causes. She also finds that starting memory medications earlier in the illness can alter the course and speed of cognitive decline. Earlier diagnosis may make the difference in how long a person can live in the community and when they may need assisted living or nursing home care. From a general medical perspective, knowing how well a person thinks helps the doctor to know if the patient can be trusted to take medications for other conditions or will become confused and end up with a costly hospital stay. Many of my patients are taking five or more medications for other conditions, says Dr. Clionsky. Their poor memories cause them to have problems regulating diabetes and high blood pressure. We also know that dementia leads to falls and fractures, often putting that patient into a rehabilitation unit or a nursing home when that problem might have been averted.

By using the MOST, a medical assistant can spend five minutes with the patient, have the patient perform a few simple tasks, and produce a simple score that tells the doctor if that patients thinking is normal for someone of that age. The doctor can then reassure a patient who is doing well, order additional tests for one who is beginning to decline, and start treatment for one who has had greater losses. The MOST score then becomes part of the patients record and can be repeated to see how that person is doing over time and in response to treatment. When families and doctors have data, they can make the right choices and get better outcomes, according to Dr. Emily Clionsky. This is no different than measuring blood pressure or cholesterol levels. Having the right test leads to ordering the right treatment and improving patient health and independence. Today, with the cost of medical care rising and everyone looking to save money, preventing medication errors and accidental injuries makes sense and saves health care dollars.

The MOST is currently available in paper form and will soon be released as an iPad application. For more information go to http://cns-neuro.com/ .

Commonfig's Propagator Program Makes A Difference

Portland, OR (PRWEB) October 21, 2011

Commonfig LLC is excited to announce the launch of its Propagator Program, a work from home opportunity. Commonfig, a leading provider of social networking, connecting service professionals with people who seek their services and builds mutually beneficial relationships. The addition of the Propagator Program completes the cycle, adding an element of exponential growth to the site, while providing stay-at-home-parents, students, and those in search of employment with a safe and effective way to earn income.

The Commonfig Propagator Program is different from other work-from-home opportunities in several ways. First, the program is cost free to participants. There are no expensive start-up costs or fees associated with the program. Second, based on Commonfigs strong belief in community development, participants can choose to donate their earnings to a charity.

We are a group of socially conscious individuals, so the Propagator Program was a natural transition. It's purpose is to enable individuals to set up a recurring income stream in this tough economy, says Santhosh Devati, co-founder. It also gives them an option to donate a percentage or all of the rewards they earn to the charity/cause they believe in for greater good.

The Propagator Program is an ideal fit for stay-at-home parents, college students, and individuals who are in search of employment. With little more than an Internet connection, participants can begin work, earning up to a 20% commission on the revenue generated from their referrals.

Commonfig and the Propagator Program dovetailed perfectly with my needs, said Sally Myers, a program participant. After I was laid off, I wanted to find a way to earn a bit of income. The Propagator Program was easy to start and flexible. Once I found gainful employment, I used my commissions from the program to help fund my favorite charity.

The actual program is simple: participants use networking, email, and personal communication to contact businesses, encouraging them to visit the Commonfig website. Once there, visitors are free to explore the site and see how Commonfig is changing social networking for business purposes. Once a visitor signs up, the referring program participant receives a commission for the life of the membership.

The program will continue to grow in 2012 with the release of Commonfig.org, connecting institutions and charities with a new source of income. Charities will be able to use the Propagator Program directly, increasing their revenues and their ability to provide assistance, community outreach, or funding in their chosen areas.

Commonfig's motto, Grow, Thrive, Multiply, is beautifully represented by this outreach program. Program participants provide a valuable service, driving traffic and referrals to the Commonfig site, while simultaneously engaging in valuable networking activities.

About Commonfig:

A group of proven individuals who are like-minded with strong backgrounds have come together as a team. They formed Commonfig with the purpose of extending support to fellow professionals looking to connect with people who are seeking their services, in a mutually beneficial environment. The amount of leadership, business acumen and technical savvy found in this team is outweighed only by the integrity, determination and purpose beating strongly in the heart of each member. Commonfig plans to extend its reach to the United Kingdom and India in 2012.

David and Goliath Develops New Integrated Market Testing Service to Build Better Ads

Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) September 26, 2011

David and Goliath, a Montreal-based communications firm specializing in integrated design, marketing and web services, has recently launched Test Driven Design, a simple and flexible testing service that gives clients fast feedback on marketing projects to make fact-based decisions rather than working by intuition or personal preference.

Offered as a stand-alone service, Test Driven Design helps clients make informed marketing decisions on new work as well as to re-assess logos, corporate images, web sites, and any other material that conveys a company image.

Many organizations come to market with designs and packaging that are based on things the marketing manager likes or that the designer likes, but if those people arent part of the targeted demographic, the results can be ineffective, says David and Goliath president Bachir Saouaf.

Judging creative with fact-based information

Test Driven Design works by conducting a comprehensive client needs analysis while integrating market research into the creative process from the very start. Combining the strengths of focus groups, individual interviews and market surveys to carry out fast and economical mini-tests, the methodology identifies objective parameters that can be used to judge the effectiveness of advertising and design.

David and Goliaths campaign for the University of Ottawa to attract qualified Generation Y applicants was formed using Test Driven Design. The results? The number of students rose by 30% over five years. And in a very competitive market, the University of Ottawa saw an increase in applications across Canada, from 30% to 165%, depending on the geographic market segment.

Knowing what your audience wants

Do we include a maple leaf? How do we make it bilingual without repeating the name in both languages? These were some of the questions David and Goliath faced working on a redesign of the University of Ottawas logo. The university had decided to position itself as Canadas university. Choosing to work with the name uOttawa, it hoped to find a logo that would be easily understood in both official languages.

One of three agencies competing for the account, David and Goliath used Test Driven Design to hone its strategy. It created and tested dozens of prototypes to find that the name uOttawa used with certain icons was immediately associated with a university, whereas adding a maple leaf to the same name made respondents think of a political or government organization.

The firm presented not only several logos but also statistics on the perception of each along with what they meant to the general public. It was ultimately awarded the logo creation and advertising work. When the committee voted in favour of the final logo proposed by David and Goliath, the university hired an independent research agency to make sure they were on the right track. The agency arrived at the same conclusions as did David and Goliath's tests.

Test process based on ten years of experience

The process is not entirely new to us. We have been doing this for our clients for years, were just presenting it as a product now, says Bachir Saouaf who came across the idea nearly a decade ago when his firms office at the time had a central work table.

We were putting prototypes of a packaging design on the table over a few weeks, and sometimes employees walking by would stop to look at a design and other times they wouldnt. I began to ask them simple, easy-to-answer questions as to why, he says.

The answers were evaluated and designs modified accordingly and a nimble process was developed that, according to Saouaf, can do as much for a project as a $ 25,000 research program, but at a fraction of the cost.

Without giving away the details, Saouaf says he uses small research segments combined with consistent fine tuning to help clients make their decisions based on facts rather than their own intuition. And as his firm further develops the process, they become increasingly adept in the study of perception, motivation and intention.

You dont need to be big, he says. When you are working well, you can achieve great things.

About David&Goliath Communication-Marketing

David&Goliath is a Montreal-based communications firm offering integrated design, marketing and web services and specializing in high end print and web projects. Founded in 1997 by Bachir Saouaf and Carole Leduc, the firm distinguishes its work by systematically testing concepts before marketing them. Its research-based approach has been used successfully for clients such as the University of Ottawa, The Royal Bank of Canada and World Film Festival.

The Most Secure Copy Protection for eBooks and PDF Documents with DRM

Brisbane, Australia (PRWEB) March 25, 2011

CopySafe PDF provides the most secure solution to copy protect eBooks and PDF documents, protecting them from all methods of copy and also preventing unauthorized distribution. CopySafe PDF with DRM options enables total control over access rights with immediate effect on documents and user access, even on documents that have already been downloaded to the users computer.

Protect PDF solutions have been around for years but because its distributed for use in generic PDF readers like Adobe Reader, the security for passwords and expiration can easily be thwarted and the media inside can be extracted, providing a most insecure option for mission critical data. In contrast CopySafe PDF utilizes its own proprietary reader enabling stronger encryption and unique security protocols that can never be thwarted. The CopySafe PDF Reader is the only application that can open and display a CopySafe document, and unlike Adobe Reader the source code is not available to the public for hackers to study and reverse engineer, thus ensuring that your protected PDF cannot be exploited.

The free PDF Reader also uses CopySafe technology to provide protection from all methods of copy including Printscreen and screen capture software, and to prevent forwarding them onto others, the option of applying DRM can control who can open the document, who can print the document and even put a limit in how many times such access is given.

The Digital Rights Management (DRM) applied to CopySafe PDF does not rely on tokens like other DRM solutions because tokens, no mater how sophisticated, can be forged and redistributed. Instead, CopySafe uses unique technology that identifies a users computer signature for rights assessment, which is much more secure as it cannot be exploited.

ArtistScope DRM is also unique with regard to the control that authors can have over their documents and their customer base. With tokens such privileges are preset and cannot be varied during the life of the subscription, but with ArtistScope DRM those permissions are managed remotely, enabling an author to have total control. From any computer in the world, an author can log in and modify document and user access rights for immediate effect even to documents that have already been downloaded.

With such total control an author can cancel a users subscription, suspend their access for breach of TOS, cancel or suspend a document pending review or update, change the list of users permitted to use a document, upgrade users to new groups for their next document level and so on. The document management for DRM validation service can be purchased for use on the authors server or it can be rented as a ready-installed and hosted service from ArtistScope. Pricing for a hosted DRM Validation Service can cost as little as a few dollars per month.

All types of documents can be copy protected by first converting to PDF. A universal Document Converter (UDC) is bundled with the CopySafe PDF Protector software that runs as a printer-driver making document conversion as simple as send to print, and then selecting UDC as the printer, for a new PDF document to be saved to a nominated location.

The free CopySafe PDF Reader is available in eleven (11) popular languages that can be selected independent of a computers default language, enabling a preferred language when working in foreign offices. Free trial software for CopySafe PDF Protector can be downloaded from the ArtistScope web site. The PDF Protector can be installed on a server and interfaced with web pages by using ArtistScope DLLs as DRM Add-ons for the encryption and conversion of documents uploaded to your web site.

ABOUT ARTISTSCOPE

ArtistScope is an artist-oriented company founded in 1997 to address the need for robust copy protection for the livelihood of artists. They know the technology, they know the customer, and they know the audience.

Under the leadership of President Dr. Dan Lunsford, Mars Hill College is pleased to announce not only the completion of the most successful capital campaign in the college's history, but also the institution's largest enrollment growth in 30 years!

When Dr. Lunsford assumed the presidency of Mars Hill College in 2002, he initiated the most successful capital campaign in the college's history, raising more than $ 38 million against an aggressive goal of $ 35 million, which he invested in an aggressive plan to make improvements to the physical plant. Improvements on the college's campus include the design and construction of the Ferguson Math and Science Building, and the renovation of the Wall Academic Center, the Nash Education Building, and the Lion's Eye courtyard. Students are particularly excited about the complete renovation of the Brown and Turner residence halls, and the construction of the new Bailey Mountain residence hall, which will provide comfortable academic living quarters for the college's residential students.

Technology upgrades also abound, with the recent addition of wireless internet access across campus, and Mars Hill College isn't done yet. The growth of the physical plant continues as planning for the next round of upgrades to the campus have already begun, including renderings for a brand new classroom building that will also house administrative offices and a new bookstore.

Going forward, athletics play an important role in the growth of Mars Hill College. The Ammons Family Stadium Complex recently received a major renovation, which included the addition of a new, high tech turf field and a new press box. The college has also expanded its athletic offerings, with the introduction of men's and women's swimming and cycling. The men's cycling team actually captured the national championship in 2011, during the programs third year in existence.

The newly renovated Nash Education Building will play host to Mars Hill's first graduate degree program, a Master's Degree in Education.

After making dramatic improvements to the campus and expanding academic and co-curricular offerings at Mars Hill College, Dr. Lunsford sought to grow the enrollment. Located in the mountains of Western North Carolina, the beautiful campus had plenty of room for enrollment growth so Dr. Lunsford partnered with John W. Dysart, president of The Dysart Group, Inc. to change the characterization of the College from the the best kept secret in North Carolina. The Dysart Group, Inc. is a higher education enrollment consulting firm headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Working with the professionals in the admission and financial aid offices, some major changes were made to increase the awareness of the College throughout the state and region. A new marketing strategy was adopted with an emphasis on the success of MHC graduates. Institutional scholarship and grant programs were re-vamped to better recognize academic talent and meet financial need. The admission counselors utilized aggressive outreach to prospective students to educate them about the benefits of Mars Hill College. Messages were sent via telephone, email, direct mail, Facebook and text. As students found out more about MHC, they responded!

The college secured the largest number of applications in the institution's history, and more students were accepted for admission than ever before. New student enrollments are up an astounding 34% over 2010, and the institution enrolled the highest number of new students in 30 years!

It has been an exciting nine years for the President. Dr. Lunsford, however, is not done yet. With the planned addition of a new classroom building and bookstore, as well as a continued focus on recruiting students with the potential for success, Dr. Lunsford plans to continue enrollment growth and product enhancements over the next few years.

Web-Based POS provider Vend raises funding from Point Nine Capital and angel investors

Auckland, New Zealand (PRWEB) August 12, 2011

New Zealand based online pos software start-up Vend has secured a significant injection of capital from a European investment consortium led by Point Nine Capital.

The investment will accelerate the company's rapid international growth, expansion of the New Zealand based development team and the opening of a San Francisco sales office.

Vend provides an intuitive and powerful web-based POS (point of sale) software that lets retailers process sales, track inventory, and manage customers. The worlds first HTML5 retail POS, it works on any device or platform, including an iPad, or even existing POS hardware.

Just like Zendesk has revolutionized the customer service industry, Vend wants to bring a revolution to the POS industry and improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of people working in retail, said Point Nine Capital Managing Partner Christoph Janz, an early investor and advisor at Zendesk and several other successful Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies.

The setup cost to retailers for a traditional POS system can be astronomical, tens of thousands of dollars and weeks of hassle before theyve even made their first sale, says Vend Founder & CEO Vaughan Rowsell. With Vend, retailers can be up and running in minutes, for a low monthly fee. Plus, its software they actually love to use.

One of Vends competitive strengths is its seamless integration with other popular web software, such as Xero (accounting) and Shopify & Magento (e-commerce), offering retailers a full suite of low-cost, user-friendly tools to manage their business in the cloud.

Vend's user interface is intuitive, smooth, and speedy. Going with a cloud-based POS has allowed us to scale and access our data from any location and smoothly integrate the e-commerce and retail experience, says Travis Becker of Mollusk Surf Shops (New York, San Francisco & LA).

Vend now has thousands of users in more than 80 countries, less than a year after it was launched. Customers range from high street fashion chains to young hip boutiques, mom and pop stores to franchise networks, and are already processing more than $ 10M of sales through Vend each month.

Economic Crisis: Family Health Care Costs Will Skyrocket As Patients Cut Back On Prescription Drugs

McLean, VA (PRWEB) February 12, 2009

Dr. Dorothy L. Smith, clinical pharmacist and President and CEO of metropolitan Washington, DC-based Consumer Health Information Corporation (CHIC), addressed the Annual Meeting of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) in Louisville, Kentucky, and spoke to an audience comprised of pharmaceutical industry executives, clinicians and researchers on the "Impact of Patient Decision-Making on Patient Outcomes".

Dr. Smith, a founding member of ACCP, pointed out that patients are making day-to-day decisions on how to manage their prescription drugs. Many do not understand the information they receive from health professionals on how to take a medication and why it has been prescribed. Patients always try to make wise decisions because they are very concerned about risk and know they will have to live with any health and financial consequences.

When patients decide to stop taking a prescription drug, they usually do not discuss their concerns with a health professional. Some of their reasons for stopping a medication include:

"I am not going to follow the treatment recommendations."

"I think it is safer to try juicing, natural remedies, yoga first."

"I am going to adjust the dose because this will lower my chance of developing side effects."

"If I take half the dose, I will save money because the prescription will last longer."

"I am not going to get my next refill because I don't think the drug is working."

"I am going to wait until I start to feel "sick" again."

The Washington Post (October 16, 2008) reported the results of a Rockefeller Foundation/Time Magazine survey (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/15/AR2008101503762.html). Consumers were asked the question: "In the past year, was there ever a time when you have not filled a medical prescription because of cost?" 23% responded "Yes".

With the current economic crisis, more patients are deciding not to fill their prescriptions. Taking the incorrect dose of some drugs or stopping some medications suddenly could lead to dangerous health problems requiring emergency room visits, additional doctor visits, additional prescription medicines, lost time from work and long-term health problems.

It is far cheaper to take a prescription drug correctly than risk dangerous complications and expensive health care costs that would never have been necessary if the drug had been taken correctly in the first place.

For instance, one patient with high blood pressure decided to stop taking his medication. Stopping the medication caused his blood pressure to increase and this led to major eye complications. He had to be hospitalized for eight days and it cost more than $ 10,000 for emergency treatment. It would have been safer and cheaper to have taken the high blood pressure medicine.

Dr. Smith urged pharmaceutical companies and health professionals to prepare materials that will help patients better understand how to manage their medications wisely and safely. "Patients will only stay in long-term therapy if they know how to monitor their progress and believe the drug is working. We need to put ourselves in the "patient's shoes", and provide them with information that they can understand and trust."

About Consumer Health Information Corporation:

She saw first-hand in her clinical pharmacy practice settings that many patients were needlessly suffering serious medical complications because they did not know how to manage their prescription drugs or treatments correctly. Since that time, the company has been dedicated to bridging the communications gap between patients, health professionals, pharmaceutical companies, employers and insurance companies. The company's team of health professionals and creative experts work together to ensure that medical terminology is translated into language that people can understand and that the final design makes the information even easier to comprehend. The company has won major national and international awards for excellence in patient education and consumer information.

Making Money With Adsense Ads - The Truth

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) July 13, 2006

Contextual advertising is a good way to fund a website. In the past, you may be familiar with how many webmasters have put up banner ads in hopes that their visitors would click on them and maybe even buy something. Sometimes they were based on pay per click while others paid a certain amount per thousand while still others were strictly commission.

After time, people did get tired of the banner format. They could see it and relate to the fact that this was an ad and they did not want to participate. Banners have lost effectiveness.

Text ads became more effective because they could blend right in with your content. It turned out that the right text ad which was related to the content were resulting in higher clicks which meant more money.

Then companies like Google have taken the lead in turning the mere text ad link into something bigger - by automatically reading your existing content, it could pull up an ad related to it. This results in the webmaster being able to focus more on the text and less on the ad while the advertisers were assured of relevant websites showing their ads which would give them a targeted audience for sales. All in all is a win-win situation.

Many "gurus" have come about trying to sell expensive manuals to help you make more money by pushing Adsense. Some books are better than others, but most of them cost in excess of $ 80USD. For the beginner, this may seem a bit steep, especially when you are just getting your feet wet.

Some of the misleading advice given would make one believe all they have to do to make thousands of dollars a day is to buy a bunch of domains with a hot keyword and get free content then put your Adsense code in the hot zones and promote your site. In theory, if you had 10 hot keyword based sites with content heavy in that keyword and you could obtain a very high click through rate, you could make a few hundred dollars a day for each site and the more sites you have the better.

Here's why it is misleading:

What may be hot one day may not be hot in a few days. People may compete for a keyword that could gain $ 10 per click, but with the smart pricing in effect, that $ 10 could get down to .30

Latinos Have New Option for Loan Applications

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) July 25, 2006

LenderNest, Inc has launched Creditoymas (http://www.creditoymas.com) to connect Latino consumers with banks and financial institutions, making it easier for them to finalize loan transactions.

Creditoymas was created and designed to target the Latino market, which is rapidly growing with in terms of buying power. Creditoymas understands the Latino Market and knows that many of customers do not have proper documentation to qualify for a regular and standard mortgage loan. To assist with these consumers, Creditoymas has financial affiliates who can process these loans.

According to LenderNest's consumer research studies, the Latino consumers have a good to excellent credit status. When studying the Latino Market, LenderNest marketed Creditoymas by posting billboards and by sponsoring ads in Yahoo!, Google, MSN, different radio stations and local Spanish newspapers. Through this campaign, LenderNest found that its current customers felt more comfortable dealing with solid companies over the phone or online rather than going to the neighborhood realtor or financial institution.

Creditoymas does not use automatic filters and underwriting software to evaluate the consumer information, which eliminates options and opportunities for consumers and, in many cases, provides unreal quotes and terms. In the mortgage world, it takes more than a credit score or filters to make a firm decision or to give a real mortgage quote.

LenderNest has also purchased other Spanish domains, such as http://www.Buscarealtors.com to assist Latino consumers to find a certified Realtor nationwide, http://www.Creacredito.com to assist Latinos to re-established or to build their credit history, http://www.Reportesymas.com to assist Latinos in ordering credit reports, credit scores, and carfax reports, and http://www.Buscadealers.com to assist them with finding auto dealers.

LenderNest is working on a patent-pending site where banks can bid in real time to get the best rates for consumers.

About Creditoymas

Latino consumers can visit http://www.creditoymas.com or call 1 800 955 6378 to request a loan. Creditoymas will give this credit information to financial affiliates, omitting personal information. The affiliates then review the information via a REAL TIME BOARD. Once they make a decision, they will contact Creditoymas to acquire the customer and finalize the financial transaction.

Creating a Successful Website

(PRWEB) December 24, 2001

I have two web sites. One has had two million page hits, the other less than 1,000. Both are in the top 10 on page one of Google for their key words. The topic of each one is a personal passion. The difference is how many other people are interested in these topics. I did a lot of research and experimentation to discover what you will be reading about in the next few minutes. My purpose is to share with you what I have learned the hard way.

If you are creating a web site to attract visitors, the best strategy is basing your site on a personal passion that many other people are interested in too. Do it for a niche market that no one else has developed a great site for yet.

Pick several of your favorite topics and think about what the "perfect" site should be like. Next, use a search engine like Google and an index like Yahoo and try out different categories, key words and phrases. As you surf, keep track of the best sites that you find for your topics. You may find several good sites that have portions of your vision. When you decide that you could do a better job on one of your chosen topics, you are ready to begin.

If you know little or nothing about creating a web site, start with Microsoft Frontpage 2002 software. Take the time to learn how to use it. Your next step is finding a hosting service for your web site. Try TopHost and HostIndex for ideas. To save money, try a host like Catalog.com. But do not sign up with the host or register a domain name yet.

Based on your topic, select a theme for your web site. Your domain name, page titles, meta-tags, and site content should all follow the theme that you have chosen. Using a word processing program, prepare a mock up of your site content without graphics. The content of each page should be consistent with your theme, domain name, page title, page description and keyword meta-tags. If the content takes on a life of its own as you write, think about fine tuning your theme, domain name, page titles, page descriptions and key words. As you work, try to keep in mind what you thought the "perfect" site on your topic should be like.

When your pages are mostly complete, transfer them to notepad to strip out formatting and then to Frontpage. Select a graphic theme in Frontpage and set up your internal navigation links. As a test, publish your pages on your own computer to see how they will look before you publish them on the web. When you site is ready, it's time to sign up with the hosting service that you selected and have them register your domain name. In a day or two, when your domain is active, you can publish your site to the host's server using Frontpage. You're online!

OK, so now what? It's time for marketing your new site. Search engines and indexes are the most cost effective way to do it. These steps will get your site listed by hundreds of search engines and indexes. First, submit your home page URL to Google. You should resubmit to Google once a month for at least several months. Next, submit your home page URL to Inktomi using a service like PositionTech.com for a modest fee. Inktomi has fifty partners including AOL, MSN, and HotBot.

Sign up as a member of the Zeal.com index and submit your own site. This should get you into the Looksmart directory and save you their submission fee. Looksmart partners include MSN, Excite, iWon, CNN and 370 ISPs. Next, submit your site to the Open Directory Project Index. It's free and has hundreds of affiliated indexes including Netscape, AOL, Google, Lycos, HotBot and DirectHit. Then, use Yahoo's free site submit option. Be very careful about what you submit to these indexes, once done, it's hard to change them.

There is more that you can do. Using a service like Selfpromotion.com, you can submit information on your site to many other search engines and indexes with great precision and keep track of your progress. Tracking your search engine site rankings and visitor stats are good ways to monitor how well your site is doing. Although a bit pricey, using TopDog software you can track you site's ranking in most of the major search indexes and engines and resubmit as needed. If your hosting service does not provide visitor statistics, try a free service like HitBox. You host their banner and they provide your site’s real time stats. Put their banner at the bottom of each page.

Now, the hard part, is waiting. With a few exceptions, it will take at least a month before your site is listed. In some cases, it may take two or three months. Inktomi will be the fastest; however, many of the search engines and indexes that use the Inktomi data base may take quite a while to update. Take a look at Search Engine Watch and BruceClay.com for more information on fine tuning your site.

Are you done yet? Nope, you just stared! Maintaining a web site over the long haul could be boring. If the topic you pick is one of your passions in life, it will be fun. Continue using the resources on the web to make your site the best that it can be.

Some things that you should not do: Banner exchanges, services that submit your site to 400,000 search engines, fancy graphics that make your pages download s-l-o-w-l-y, using the free web space from your Internet service provider or a free web site service, a site that is all ads with no content, or using copyrighted material without written permission.

Before closing, let's talk about money. Once your site is attracting visitors, one easy way to make money on the Internet is by becoming an affiliate. Try an affiliate service like Commission Junction. It provides banner ads and product links from hundreds of merchants for you to choose from. Select merchants and products that are tailored to your site and the interests of your site visitors. The payoff is that you are paid a commission each time a visitor uses a link on your site to make a purchase from a merchant. Put merchant banners at the top of each page.

Finally, make it easy for your visitors and customers to contact you while maintaining your privacy. A neat trick for your virtual business is getting a free phone number, email box and fax service from OneBox.com.

Your Hormones Hold the Secret to Happier Holiday Shopping

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 7, 2006

There's a surprising new way to combat the stress of holiday shopping -- do it in sync with your hormone cycle! That's the advice given in this week's "Hormone Horoscope" featured in Four Weeks Magazine (http://www.fourweeksmag.com), a new online lifestyle publication tailored to each week of a woman's hormone cycle.

"It's not only women who can use this hormonal holiday shopping advice. Men can also reduce holiday shopping stress by planning their gift-buying according to their own 24-hour hormone cycle," says Gabrielle Lichterman, publisher and editor of Four Weeks Magazine and author of "28 Days: What Your Cycle Reveals about Your Love Life, Moods, and Potential" (Adams Media, May 2005).

"Scientific research shows that both women's and men's hormones have a powerful affect on everything that impacts their holiday shopping experience - including mood, energy, stamina, patience with crowds and traffic, and even how much money they spend. When people shop in sync with their hormone cycle, they can reduce stress, save money and make their holiday shopping a happier experience," Lichterman states.

The following is a summary of this week's Hormone Horoscope that shows women and men how to have a happier shopping experience by syncing it up with their hormone cycle.

BOOST HOLIDAY CHEER BY SHOPPING IN SYNC WITH YOUR HORMONE CYCLE

By Gabrielle Lichterman, editor-in-chief of Four Weeks Magazine (http://www.fourweeksmag.com), author of "28 Days: What Your Cycle Reveals about Your Love Life, Moods, and Potential"

THE WOMEN'S GUIDE: HOLIDAY SHOPPING IN SYNC WITH YOUR MONTH-LONG HORMONE CYCLE

Week 1 (starts the first day of menstruation) To boost holiday shopping cheer: Shop at mom-and-pop tores and neighborhood boutiques. Estrogen and testosterone start out at low levels this week, which makes women more comfortable in familiar places that are close to home. These rising hormones also makes women chattier, so they'll appreciate the personalized attention and friendliness of a smaller store.

Save money by... Avoiding impulse items like bath products, gadgets and anything next to a cash register. Rising testosterone this week makes women more likely to splurge on small items not on their shopping list.

Week 2 To boost holiday shopping cheer: Go to the mall or stores that are far away. Estrogen and testosterone reach their peaks this week, and that gives women lots of energy, endurance and optimism - all traits that will help them brave the mega-crowds, extra-long lines and overworked salespeople with patience and high holiday spirits. These hormones also make women crave adventure and new experiences, so a long trip to a new shop is especially fun.

Save money by... Comparison shopping before purchasing expensive gifts. These confidence-boosting hormones may make women feel like they've got more money to spend than they really do.

Week 3 To boost holiday shopping cheer: Head to one-stop shops and department stores. Sedating progesterone rises this week, sapping women of energy and endurance and making them tire out more quickly than in previous days. So they'll be happiest doing their holiday shopping at stores that have lots of different types of items all under one roof, making it easy to get more gift-buying done in less time. An added bonus this week: The usual holiday shopping annoyances are less irritating as progesterone makes women feel mellower and more relaxed.

Save money by... Not getting suckered by a cute face. Progesterone makes women more susceptible to buying anything that uses adorable images of babies, puppies and other cuddly creatures to entice them.

Week 4 To boost holiday shopping cheer: Turn to the Internet, catalogues and home shopping channels. During these premenstrual days, estrogen, testosterone and progesterone plunge and they take a woman's patience with jostling crowds, honking traffic and pushy salespeople down with them. These plunging hormones also make women more sensitive to pain, such as being bumped or stepped on by fellow shoppers.

Save money by... Not going overboard on "medicinal shopping", which women may be tempted to do to combat descending hormone irritability and achiness.

THE MEN'S GUIDE: HOLIDAY SHOPPING IN SYNC WITH YOUR 24-HOUR HORMONE CYCLE

Morning - To boost holiday shopping cheer: Head to mom-and-pop shops and stores that are far away. Testosterone peaks during these hours, which gives men lots of energy, but also makes them more likely to fly off the handle over little frustrations, like crowds and parking. As a result, they'll be happier visiting smaller boutiques, which are typically less packed. High testosterone heightens a man's spatial abilities, so these are the hours he'll map out the fastest traveling routes for stores that are long distances away.

Save money by... Keeping a limit on items not on their list. High testosterone makes men more impulsive in these hours. They may also want to avoid drinking lots of coffee while shopping and getting suckered by images of products that use scantily clad women to sell them - studies show these make men even more likely to overspend.

Afternoon - To boost holiday shopping cheer: Shop at the mall and department stores. Testosterone dips to the middle of its cycle in these hours, so men still have lots of energy and stamina to withstand long lines and visits to lots of stores, but they'll also be less easily irritated and have more patience with crowds and while jockeying for parking spaces.

Save money by.Looking for bargains. Since men are a tad less impulsive during these hours thanks to declining testosterone, it's a good time for them to put off buying gifts till they find the best price.

Evening - To boost holiday shopping cheer: Turn to the Internet, catalogues and home shopping channels. This is the time of day when testosterone reaches its lowest level, which makes a man's energy, stamina and concentration bottom out. As a result, he may feel too sapped to hit the stores.

Save money by... Eating energizing foods, like an iron-rich burger or tuna sandwich. Otherwise, he may be tempted to settle on a pricey product just so he can stop shopping and take a nap!
