USBedBugs.com and Safer Pest Control Project Partner to Educate Consumers on Bed Bug Protection and Prevention

Posted on by


Northbrook, IL (Vocus/PRWEB) December 14, 2010

USBedBugs.com, the leading provider of pesticide-free bed bug prevention and protection products, is proud to sponsor Safer Pest Control Project as an IPM Hero in its mission to stop bed bugs in their tracks by using integrated pest management. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a proven method of pest control that emphasizes simple, inexpensive prevention practices that cause the least harm to people and the environment. IPM focuses on eliminating the cause of pests by minimizing access to food, water, and hiding places. We are dedicated to helping Safer Pest Control Project educate the community on how to deal with bed bugs using pesticide-free solutions said Adam Greenberg, President of USBedBugs.com. Dealing with bed bugs can be a life altering event and many people think that using pesticides will eliminate the problem. However, pesticides are generally not effective and can even make the problem worse while also creating a toxic living environment.

Bed bugs have made a comeback in the last 10 years and these tiny little creatures do not discriminate. They can be found anywhere from five star hotels, movie theaters, department stores and even libraries. Most experts say that international travel is the culprit. Bed bugs have been hitching a ride in luggage or clothing of travelers and causing havoc on everyone that they meet. With the resurgence of bed bug infestations comes the need to educate people about bed bugs and give people the tools and knowledge to help them fight and win the battle in a safe and cost effective manner. Knowing what a bed bug looks like and detecting a bed bug problem early are very important to the speed and success of any treatment method, said Rachel Rosenberg, Executive Director of Safer Pest Control Project, a nonprofit organization located in Chicago. Here at SPCP we are working diligently to spread the word about the reappearance of bed bugs and how to eliminate the pests by using an IPM approach. We are extremely grateful for the support and collaboration of companies like USBedBugs.com.

Safer Pest Control Projects mission is to reduce the impact of pesticides on human health and the environment.. SPCP offers site assessments, workshops, technical assistance and expert speakers to help educate the community on integrated pest management. The Fourth Annual Lady Bug Bash, held in October 2010, was a great success and honored the Evanston Environmental Board for the successful passage of sustainable pest control and pesticide reduction policy. The event also featured Ms Ladybug-a singing the Bed Bug Bop. This light hearted song introduces basic IPM concepts in a witty manner song and addresses the frustration and complexity of a good solution.

FMR1 Gene May Control Womens Fertility Life Cycle, According to Research from Center for Human Reproduction

Posted on by
Reply


New York, NY (PRWEB) October 22, 2012

A new study presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) in San Diego, CA, offers further evidence that the fragile X mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1 gene) may play an important role in controlling womens fertility life cycles.

The study, conducted by researchers from the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR), a leading fertility center in New York City, and the Medical University of Vienna in Austria, compared the age of menarche (start of menstruation) and the number of CGG tri-nucleotide repeats on the FMR1 gene. Among the 222 women studied, a significant relationship was identified between the age of menarche and CGG counts. Specifically, women with at least one FMR1 allele with CGG counts higher than 34 were more likely to reach menarche after age 13 compared to women with CGG counts on both FMR1 alleles below 34.

The FMR1 gene has long been associated with neuro-psychiatric conditions, but only in recent years it has been shown to have controlling effects on womens ovarian function. While for neuro-psychiatric risks, the FMR1 gene is considered normal up to CGG repeats of 55, the CHR investigators defined CGG counts between 26 and 34 as normal (norm) in regards to ovarian function, with CGG counts higher than 34 being defined as high and those lower than 26 as low. In a number of prior publications, the same group demonstrated genotypes and sub-genotypes of the FMR1 gene to be statistically associated with different ovarian aging patterns and IVF pregnancy rates.

This study revealed that women with at least one high FMR1 allele tend to start their reproductive life later than women with low or norm alleles, explains Norbert Gleicher, MD, Medical Director and Chief Scientists of CHR. The finding further strengthens our hypothesis that the FMR1 gene has a significant influence on how a womans ovaries reach maturity, and then decline with age, defining her reproductive life cycle over her lifetime.

Further studies are needed to better define how to predict a womans reproductive potential as she moves through life, based on FMR1 genotypes and sub-genotypes. Currently, prediction of female reproductive potential is difficult, and often impossible. Utilization of FMR1 genotypes and sub-genotypes may potentially open up new opportunities.

About Center for Human Reproduction

The Center for Human Reproduction (CHR, http://www.centerforhumanreprod.com/), located in New York City, is one of the worlds leading fertility centers. Because of its worldwide reputation as “fertility center of last resort, CHR has a worldwide patient following among women with DOR, whether due to advanced age, or due to premature ovarian aging (POA). Dr. Gleicher is available for further comments.

Henderson , NV (PRWEB) June 15, 2012

Every day more and more Americans are growing increasingly wary of the stock market and taking direct control of their retirement funds. Nervousness about the effects of problems in Europe, unemployment in the United States and the continued political morass in Washington have caused investors to look to safer alternatives for their retirement funds and investments.

They are doing this through the use of two relatively unknown investment vehicles – the Self Directed IRA LLC with Checkbook Control and the IRA and the 401k Small Business Financing

Plan.

Each program is designed to meet a different set of objectives:

Self Directed IRA LLC with Checkbook Control- This program is designed for making passive investments such as real estate, mortgages and trust deeds, gold and silver, international real estate, hedge funds and private placements. The program gives the IRA or 401k holder direct checkbook control of their retirement funds without incurring any tax liability or penalties. This allows the investor to make immediate investment decisions and avoid costly plan administration fees.

IRA and 401k Small Business Financing Plan – This program allows IRA and 401k holders to rollover their retirement funds to finance or start their own business without incurring tax liabilty or penalties. Many people who have lost their jobs through downsizing or termination have successfully started their own businesses using this plan.

Self Directed IRA LLC a leading provider of both type of plans has implemented a free course “10 Steps to a Self Directed IRA” to educate consumers about the basics of Self Directed IRA LLC’s. The course is available free of charge at the company website located at: Self Directed IRA LLC

Smartenit Delivers First Android, iOS, Web Browser and Desktop Application for ZigBee and INSTEON Monitoring and Control

Posted on by

San Juan Capistrano, CA (PRWEB) April 13, 2012

Smartenit has introduced a simple, yet highly effective client/server model for handling automation via ZigBee, INSTEON and X10. The Harmony gateways, in their role as servers, take care of all the vagaries of the underlying protocols and the physical connection (wireless or powerline) to the devices in the automation network. The client application on the mobile or desktop platform takes advantage of the work done by the server, and concentrates on the presentation to the user. Communication between the client and the server is done via a lean API that ensures very rapid response and fast interaction. This architecture makes for a pleasant user experience in interacting with the various switches, sensors, appliances and systems in the installation. The streamlined architecture offers the benefits of fast response time, easy inclusion of new devices, transparency of protocol to the user, wider choice of available devices, and future expandability. Seamless control of home automation devices bridging ZigBee, INSTEON and X10 allows a user remote and local control of the widest spectrum of devices without worrying about the various nuances of the diverse technologies. “This App gives our customer a consistent user experience, more options for devices in their network, and the ability to build upon systems they may already have in place”, states Sammy Korotie, sales administrator.

The application focuses on facilitating the main aspects of monitoring and control: addition and maintenance of devices, organization of the automation network according to user preferences, and setup of automation events based on either/both time and device conditions. Simple operations are provided to go from plugging in a device for the first time, to operating it remotely in less than 30 seconds.

Monitor and control from anywhere. The server gateway is the controller attached to a router in the user environment and to the devices in the automation network. The Smartenit App can connect to this server from anywhere, assuming the user has an Internet connection. This opens a myriad of possibilities for monitoring and controlling from the office, from a remote city while on vacation, from a different continent, from anywhere.

Immediate support is provided for a broad line of devices including: whole house energy monitoring, temperature / humidity monitoring, large and small load control from lighting to HVAC and pool pumps, smart plugs that report electricity consumption, and irrigation control. These devices can be set for simple on/off control, timed actions, or more complex control based upon various rules that, when met, trigger automation events. Status of the devices in real-time is displayed by the application taking advantage of data pushed from the server when the status on a device changes.

The application was developed in a way that versions with the same look-and-feel are created simultaneously for Android, iOS (IPhone and iPad) and BlackBerry Tablet. Likewise, versions are available for all major desktop systems including Windows, MacOS and Linux. Finally, for the ultimate in remote connectivity, the same application is available for rapid download to any browser supporting the Adobe Flash player from http://www.harmonygateway.com

Version 1 of the application is available free for use with Smartenit Harmony gateways.

Crisp Messaging Speeds Sales of InvoTech Inventory Control Systems

Posted on by

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 06, 2012

Spirited innovation and the human touch differentiate InvoTech Systems, Inc. from its competitors. The company recently discovered the magic these same qualities bring when applied to public relations and branding. One result is a banner year for InvoTech, which saw dramatic sales growth of its inventory control systems in North America, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and the Asia Pacific region. InvoTech Systems credits its fresh marketing approach for helping to double sales inquiries and steadily increase new contracts.

The first step is to delve deeper into understanding potential customerswho they are and what they want, explains Jeff Welles, vice president of InvoTech. This enables us to understand how to craft messages that reach our prospects and effectively address their needs. InvoTechs customers include the worlds largest casinos, hotels, resorts, theme parks, sports arenas, and laundries.

Welles says highly focused public relations and marketing programs generated much of the growing interest in InvoTechs products. Those efforts began last year when InvoTech started a relationship with an award winning Atlanta-based public relations and marketing firm that specializes in hospitality and casino gaming.

Video press release shows and tells how InvoTech delivers

Softscribe Inc.s PR strategy, benefit messaging, strategic communications, and website work boosted awareness in our target markets of the value we deliver, says Welles. Case in point: a video press release they developed. The release includes a live demo that we conducted at the June 2011 HITEC event in Austin. We wowed potential customers with three typical hotel laundry tracking processes that our systems automate and improve. When a prospect called us in April 2012, we forwarded a link to the press release. Being able to watch our system in action prompted the prospect to become a customer. InvoTech continues to get a significant return on the PR investment we started nearly a year ago.

Effective messaging, innovative approach drives more pre-qualified inquiries, a shorter sales cycle

The relationship with our technology public relations provider clearly builds a greater awareness of our systems value in the minds of potential customers, said Harvey Welles, founder, CEO, and president of InvoTech Systems. Now, when prospects contact us, many already know about the benefits we deliver through our marketing work. We are only beginning to scratch the surface of what we can achieve.

InvoTech recognized early that their marketing partner shares the companys emphasis on innovation and long-term customer relationships. Softscribe has a great rapport with our team, said Jeff Welles. We trust them to contact our clients and value their ability to represent InvoTech. When we provide our customers information for a story, their team handles it professionally every time.

A whole new way of marketing doubles leads during the first year

InvoTecha company that grew into industry leadership before ever distributing a press release moved into a whole new way of marketing, says Jeff Welles. Benefits include:

Infographic: Power of the Extra Dollar – Credit Card Debt Continues to Decline As More Consumers Take Control of Their Finances

Posted on by
Reply


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 10, 2012

Nobody wants to pay more than they have to. But paying even just an extra dollar on credit card bills can save money in the long run as illustrated in CreditDonkey.com new educational infographic.

Infographic: http://www.creditdonkey.com/extra-dollar.html

Following the financial meltdown of 2008, many Americans have learned to better manage their money, launching credit card repayment plans that have helped reduce U.S. consumer debt.

Unfortunately, much of that reduction can be attributed to credit card companies charging-off bad debt, says Charles Tran, founder of credit card comparison and education site CreditDonkey.com, which today published a new infographic entitled The Power of the Extra Dollar.

While its encouraging to see more people handle credit cards wisely, Americas total credit card debt is nearly $ 795 billion, and the average credit-card-holding household owes $ 14,718, said Tran. Thats why the infographic includes very blunt math on the cost of plastic, as well as tips to reduce debt and improve your credit score.

The first thing the nations 156 million cardholders should know, says Tran, is that they should always pay more than the monthly minimum. If a cardholder paid only the monthly minimum on a balance of $ 14,718, for example, it would take 31 years to repay the loan (assuming a 13.04% APR), and cost the cardholder $ 16,772 in total interest. By putting $ 300 a month toward the same balance, however, the cardholder would reduce repayment time to 6 years and save $ 10,347 in interest.

Visit CreditDonkey.com to view full infographic on The Power of the Extra Dollar.

To keep debt under control and improve your credit score, Tran recommended that consumers:

Keep debt to less than 30% of their total credit limit.

Maintain a long credit history by not closing credit card accounts. Instead, simply refrain from using the unwanted cards.

Never pay bills late or allow them to be referred to collection agencies.

Closely monitor their credit scores. It takes a long time to build good credit, but one negative mark can quickly reduce the credit score.

At the very least, people need to carefully track their income and expenses, Tran added. Too many people charge things to their credit cards, and then forget about the charges until the bill arrives.

Consumers can visit CreditDonkey.com to compare low interest credit cards with rewards. CreditDonkey.com publishes reviews, deals and tips to help consumers make informed credit decisions. They can search, compare and apply online, finding the best credit cards for their individual needs.
