Due to its success at the April health and dietary supplement conference, Dr. Ria M. Gilday, N. D., C. N., presented LimuPlex, an all-natural health supplement developed by NaturScience, to the medical community at the Hispanic Medical Association conference on June 30th.

(PRWEB) July 21, 2005

NaturScience, the developers of the all-natural health supplement (http://www. powerinajar. com) LimuPlex, hosted a dietary conference in New York City, New York in April to promote LimuPlex and raise awareness of natural health supplements (http://www. powerinajar. com). Due to all the interest in the LimuPlex health supplement (http://www. powerinajar. com), Dr. Ria M. Gilday, N. D., C. N., presented the health supplement (http://www. powerinajar. com) at the Hispanic Medical Association conference in New York City on June 30th.

“The results of our April dietary and health supplement (http://www. powerinajar. com) conference were so good that another one had to be arranged due to all the positive energy and interest in the Limuplex product,” said Joe Lepore, Independent Representative of NaturScience. “This June conference enabled us to share the benefits of LimuPlex with doctors, surgeons, and nutritionists. With the support of the medical community, the LimuPlex health supplement can reach the world.”

Over fifty members of the medical community attended the Hispanic Medical Association conference. They were all impressed that one small scoop of the LimuPlex health supplement (http://www. powerinajar. com) contains over 500 all-natural nutrients from the land and sea, including the Limu sea vegetable, cranberries, elderberries, grape and lotus seeds, and whole colostrum to benefit:

   The muscular-skeletal system    The neurological system    Promote cardiovascular, hormonal, and gastrointestinal health    Increase energy and vitality    Improve mental clarity

“Prior to the Limuplex health supplement (http://www. powerinajar. com), being constantly on the go, I was in search for a product that would give me energy, boost up my immune system and keep me free from viruses, colds and the flu, and keep me in a happy mood all day,” said Lepore. “My search finally ended when Limuplex came on the seen. I didn’t know how I was living without this product all my life but now I can’t live without it.”

Cliff Butterworth from Idaho suffered from severe joint pain until he began using the LimuPlex health supplement. “My doctor said I would have to learn to live with the pain in my hips, knees, and feet. After a few weeks on LimuPlex, the spring is back in my step, I feel great and I greet each day with a smile,” said Butterworth.

Nutritional information and a detailed list of the benefits of each ingredient in the LimuPlex health supplement (http://www. powerinajar. com) are available at www. PowerInAJar. com as well as documentation of studies and research. LimuPlex has also been featured in the July issue of WomenÂ’s Health and Fitness Magazine, and is set for the August issue as well.

Growing Green Online, EcoLuxury Launches New Travel Website in Response to Rising Occupancy Rates

Growing Green Online, EcoLuxury Launches New Travel Website in Response to Rising Occupancy Rates

Citing 100% occupancy rates at their green vacation rentals and increased sales of green home products, EcoLuxury announced a new website with listings for green and hypo-allergenic vacation rental properties, green products guests often take home with them, and do-it-yourself guides for greening vacations and homes.

Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) July 10, 2008

Citing 100% occupancy rates at their green vacation rentals and increased sales of green home products, EcoLuxury announced a new website with listings for green and hypo-allergenic vacation rental properties, green products guests often take home with them, and do-it-yourself guides for greening vacations and homes.

Dana G. Mayer, owner of EcoLuxury, said "We have 100% occupancy at our properties in Florida and Arizona. Many Americans skipped their vacations this year, but we found those who got a good price along with a high quality, healthy experience still hit the road."

Mayer explained why travelers choose green vacation rentals over more traditional lodgings, "Green is going mainstream. Affordable green vacation rentals are available all over Europe, and people want the same choices in the U. S. We have no shortage of guests and we didn't run any gas card or rate specials."

"Our customers consistently say they have trouble finding U. S. vacation rentals and products that don't harm them or the environment, so we designed a new website to give them a place to check out properties and products that don't have toxins or big footprints," Mayer continued. "Let's face it, why wouldn't someone want to be green? Everyone wants to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and stay in a house that isn't filled with pesticides and poisons."

As for why deep green practices pay off, Mayer says, "As consumers have more choices, they also become more discerning, they avoid businesses that green-wash and look for e-policies and labels demonstrating the business has a deep green commitment. We go far beyond simply saying we recycle and have changed light bulbs. That's not green in my book, although many B&Bs and listing services say it is."

The new EcoLuxury website features fully modernized, eco-friendly vacation rental homes in St. Augustine, FL, Scottsdale, AZ and Sedona, AZ. These luxury one to three bedroom villas and casitas offer fully equipped kitchens, Internet, pools, tennis courts, and spa tubs. The shop, coming online this fall will feature items that guests often to take home with them from the vacations spots, including local art and kitchen equipment. Free, online Green Guides include "Easygoing Green Vacation Tips," "Are You Getting Greenwashed?" among others.

DuPont Recognized Again for Agriculture Excellence

DuPont Recognized Again for Agriculture Excellence

DuPont Leader Points to Innovation and Collaboration

LONDON (Vocus) November 9, 2010

DuPont and retired DuPont scientist George Levitt received two prestigious Agrow Awards for innovation and excellence in agriculture. This is the third year DuPont has been recognized by Agrow, a leading provider of news, analysis and data to the global agriculture industry.

DuPont earned the Agrow Best Formulation Innovation award for the DuPont ™ CyazypyrTM insect control SuspoEmulsion formulation. SuspoEmulsion is a breakthrough technology that enables highly effective insect control with less active ingredient for a reduced environmental footprint. This innovative formulation’s optimal oil content ensures crop safety, while its minimized emulsifier level further reduces the environmental load.

Levitt, a retired senior principal investigator for DuPont, was honored with the Agrow Lifetime Achievement Award for his pioneering work in the discovery of the sulfonylurea (SU) herbicides. This innovative class of chemistry revolutionized the crop protection industry by providing growers with outstanding weed control at very low use rates. SU herbicides also have an excellent environmental profile that is still considered an industry standard today. Levitt’s achievements have been recognized with numerous honors and awards over the past three decades, including the U. S. National Medal of Technology and the American Chemical Society Heroes of Chemistry Award.

“At DuPont, more than 50 percent of the $1.4 billion annual research and development investment is directed at helping growers increase food production,” said James C. Collins, president DuPont Crop Protection. “We are honored to be recognized for this focus on advancing agriculture. We share this recognition with George Levitt, growers, regulatory agencies and universities we collaborate with every day to deliver innovative, sustainable solutions for the world’s rapidly growing population. DuPont is both proud and pleased that the science accomplishment of George Levitt continues to be recognized.”

DuPont has earned a total of eight awards since Agrow launched the program in 2007. In 2009, DuPont earned three Agrow Awards in the categories of Most Innovative Chemistry, Best Off-Patent Pesticide Strategy and Best Innovation in Non-Crop. In 2007, the company earned awards for Most Innovative Chemistry, Best R&D Pipeline and Best Novel Agricultural Biotechnology.

The Agrow Awards were developed to recognize excellence in the crop protection and production industry. Entries are judged using a wide range of criteria by an independent judging panel consisting of a group of senior experts from around the world.

DuPont (http://www. dupont. com) is a science-based products and services company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. Operating in more than 90 countries, DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture and food; building and construction; communications; and transportation.

Creative HR Programs that Span Generations

Creative HR Programs that Span Generations

Whether you are a member of the Baby-Boomer, Gen X, or Gen Y generation, chances are that your year of birth has a direct impact on your work habits. The same goes for your employees. The key to successful recruitment and retention is learning how to tap into these behavioral factors and customize your HR programs accordingly.

Creative HR Programs that Span Generations

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 1, 2004 – Whether you are a member of the Baby-Boomer, Gen X, or Gen Y generation, chances are that your year of birth has a direct impact on your work habits. The same goes for your employees. The key to successful recruitment and retention is learning how to tap into these behavioral factors and customize your HR programs accordingly.

Each generation has its own priorities and goals. Baby-Boomers (born between 1945 – 1965) are sending kids through school and approaching retirement. Their strong sense of loyalty, not to mention their years of knowledge and experience make them vital members of the workforce.

Generation X (born between 1965 – 1980) are focused on their career development, work/life balance and childcare. They are drawn to opportunities that allow them to learn, enjoy and be recognized. They are known to be tech-savvy and independent.

Right behind Generation X is Generation Y (born between 1980 – 1994), a group that is valued for its individuality, efficiency and uniqueness. This group is driven by a strong need for instant gratification, and according to Bruce Tulgan in “Managing Generation Y – Part 2”, are even more tech-savvy than their Generation X siblings.

According to Mike Maciekowich, Astron Solutions’ National Director, employers must first set the groundwork. “It is important that organizations have a structured compensation philosophy prior to allowing for generational difference. The compensation policy acts as a blueprint to follow in the design and implementation of the program,” says Maciekowich.

Once these key components are put into place, HR practitioners can then continue with their generational compensation design.

As Maciekowich explained, “It’s imperative to keep reward strategies flexible. Generational benefits are all about flexibility.” He also stressed that employers must be aware of discrimination issues. “To stay within the legal boundaries, try using seniority as a factor in paying for healthcare coverage. The idea is to reward seniority, but not in pay, in order to avoid artificial compression and problems with equity.”

Employers must understand what rewards their employees more. “Pension benefits are more important to Baby Boomers. Generation X and Generation Y are more concerned about their personal career development and their personal wealth accumulation,” added Maciekowich.

In addition to the desire to retain the best workers, the statistical reality is that as the Boomers approach retirement age, there are fewer members of Gen X and Gen Y to replace them. Therefore, it is vital that employers take the necessary steps to keep their employees happy.

If you are interested in having Mr. Maciekowich speak at your conference or organization on this topic, please send an email to info@astronsolutions. com.

Sino Veda Herbal Product Maker Goes Natural in Edmonton Research Park

Sino Veda Herbal Product Maker Goes Natural in Edmonton Research Park

Edmonton Research Park offers conducive environment for company growth

Edmonton, AB (PRWEB) March 24, 2010

Edmonton Research Park based company Sino Veda (http://www. edmonton. com/edmonton-research-park/featured-innovator. aspx) is revolutionizing herbal remedies by using only natural ingredients and advanced manufacturing techniques. Although herbal remedies have been used around the world for centuries, only recently has modern medicine been able to capture the full potential of these natural ingredients.

“Natural products have received bad press over the years because of concerns about quality,” said Nuzhat Tam-Zaman, pharmacokinetics expert and co-founder of SinoVeda. “To obtain the highest levels of safety and purity, our ‘Pharmaceutical Platform Technology’ production method ensures every dose has the same amount of absorbable ingredients.” For consumers, this example of Edmonton innovation (http://www. edmonton. com/edmonton-research-park/about-erp. aspx) results in an end product that is purer, safer and standardized.

“We know nature has a lot to offer,” says Tam-Zaman. “We discovered in our research that ingredients in herbs have multiple functions and, at times, act synergistically together. We have a systematic approach to identifying and quantifying these ingredients. As well, our products undergo rigorous quality control tests before we manufacture them.” SinoVeda’s current product line includes Echinacea, Ginkgo Biloba, Panax Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Lingzhi and Cordyceps, to be released in Canada in April.

The company’s newest product promises to shake up the studies of bone health and osteoporosis at the Edmonton research centre (http://www. edmonton. com/edmonton-research-park/1162.aspx). Pearlium is a patent-pending formula containing vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and a form of highly soluble calcium acetate extracted from oyster pearls. Through SinoVeda’s production technique, the daily dosage of calcium in Pearlium is 300 mg compared to 1,000 mg in traditional supplements. The product is expected to enter the market this summer, followed by a clinical trial to test its effectiveness in treating postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Based at the 138-hectare Edmonton Research Park since 2007, SinoVeda has been a tenant in the Biotechnology Business Development Centre, a multi-tenant facility that provides emerging biotechnology firms with developed wet lab and office space at below-market lease rates and flexible lease terms, making scientific research in Edmonton extremely appealing.

“SinoVeda is an outstanding example of Edmonton’s flourishing biotechnology sector. We provide a nurturing environment, complemented by facilities and services, to develop and diversify Edmonton’s economy,” said Candace Brinsmead, Vice-President of Technology Advancement at the research park. “The Edmonton Research Park has been very beneficial in providing the amount of lab space we need. The cost is competitive and the environment is very encouraging,” said Tam-Zaman.
