"This is a critically important product for us to offer at this time as many U.S. manufacturing companies are looking to expand into overseas markets - such as India- to offset the downturn in the U.S. economy," Bibby International Trade Finance Managing Director Ian Varley said. "The main job of Ex-Im Bank is to promote U.S. exports and increase jobs here in the U.S. Now, as an approved delegated authority lender of Ex-Im Bank, we have the necessary tools to work with our clients to provide facilities for their overseas trade." As a working capital delegated authority lender, Bibby international Trade Finance will have the ability to underwrite Ex-Im Bank guarantees to support the financing it provides to its clients to insure that if the export fails EX-Im Bank will provide payment to Bibby. Designation as an approved Ex-Im lender is especially important in the current environment as bank lending has tightened, export credit insurance is less and less available and U.S. companies are seeking financing sources to help break into new markets.

Optimizing the dominant positions of Pegasus as the industry leader for distribution of descriptive content and inventory, and VFM Leonardo for distribution of visual content such as photos, virtual tours and video, this strategic partnership brings hotels an unrivaled offering for content distribution, according to Mike Kistner, president, CEO and chairman of Pegasus Solutions.

"VFM Leonardo has already taken the top spot in the industry for visual content management and distribution, which is why we've selected them to further improve the content distribution options for our hotels and for Pegasus-powered travel sites." Pegasus will integrate VFM Leonardo's leading VScape Digital Asset Management System with the ODD, which will allow hotels to easily update and manage their visual content directly in the ODD.

Delivering a visual story accurately and efficiently to thousands of online channels and websites utilized by travel shoppers during their hotel selection process translates into increased bookings, according to Paolo Boni, President and CEO of VFM Leonardo. "Better merchandised hotels get more bookings," said Boni. "Research actually shows online travel shoppers are 67 percent more likely to book a hotel that displays virtual tours and a staggering 89 percent more likely when a hotel displays video. Pegasus is the 'best of breed', and we are very proud of our partnership with them and their selection of VScape to manage and distribute hotel visual content.

"Hotels need an arsenal of tools, including visual content, to compete in a market where converting online travel shoppers has become more complex," said Kistner. "VFM Leonardo has already taken the top spot in the industry for visual content management and distribution, which is why we've selected them to further improve the content distribution options for our hotels and for Pegasus-powered travel sites." Pegasus will integrate VFM Leonardo's leading VScape Digital Asset Management System with the ODD, which will allow hotels to easily update and manage their visual content directly in the ODD. Additionally, Pegasus and VFM Leonardo will offer ContentHub™, a tool that enables hotels to seamlessly access, update and manage their images and text through a single interface. Both the VScape integration and ContentHub will allow visuals and text to be presented consistently to the global distribution systems (GDSs), and Pegasus alternative distribution system (ADS) customers, which include the major travel websites, search engines, tour operators and travel consortia. Delivering a visual story accurately and efficiently to thousands of online channels and websites utilized by travel shoppers during their hotel selection process translates into increased bookings, according to Paolo Boni, President and CEO of VFM Leonardo. "Better merchandised hotels get more bookings," said Boni. "Research actually shows online travel shoppers are 67 percent more likely to book a hotel that displays virtual tours and a staggering 89 percent more likely when a hotel displays video. Pegasus is the 'best of breed', and we are very proud of our partnership with them and their selection of VScape to manage and distribute hotel visual content. We firmly believe we can now better deliver hotel visual content through Pegasus with a complete solution that helps hotels better merchandise online and increase their bookings."

The market for skin lighteners in Asia-Pacific is projected to cross the $2.0 billion mark by 2012, driven by the fast growing markets of China and India. Apart from Asia, western countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom are emerging as potential markets for skin whitening products.

The name says it all, it's a site dedicated to just Display ads, aka Graphic ads, aka Branding ads, aka bigger ads with pretty pictures. "Employers and candidates will notice a difference right away from the very 1st search," says Ron Feldstein, founder and president of HealthcareJobsOnDisplay.com. "Our search function is the most important piece of the puzzle and we wanted to be different, not like every other job board out there, so we made sure that Branded, Creative, Display ads populate from the 1st search and it's all right there initially so employers have a chance to stand out, right out of the box." Feldstein and his recruitment ad agency have been doing job postings on the job boards since Monster hit the internet many moons ago, and his agency, The Roman Group. Inc. has done well over 20,000 postings. "I constantly get complaints from my clients about job boards being confusing, static, boring, filled with typos and mistakes, and lacking functionality so this concept was born out of a need by employers to stand apart, be creative, and also not have to pay display ad prices like they would in the print. Any time one of our employers can do a Display ad in place of a line ad and spend less, it's a no - brainer, so we applied the same principle to a job board." HealthcareJobsOnDisplay is ready to launch in June and will start out with an East Coast Focus, but within a year will be ready to go nationwide. "We felt an East Coast Focus would allow us to be more responsive to employers and candidates needs in select markets, and we can concentrate our marketing and sales efforts more effectively, but we'll be national in no time," added Feldstein. Job seekers will be encouraged to post resumes and will be eligible for gift cards.

Various pricing packages are available, ranging from 1-1000, and even though employers essentially get 2 display ads for each ad purchased, the cost of the ads are lower than many job board postings without any branding or design. "With a creative team in place and a recruitment ad agency staff for support, we have the flexibility to create a visual, branding experience for employers and job seekers, something we feel is currently missing in the Job board universe - we're really excited, concluded Feldstein."

It’s great news for our economy, our environment and our energy future.” GreenHouse Energy, a division of GreenHouse, will be the exclusive distributor of the E-Fuel MicroFueler in California and Arizona. “GreenHouse is fully committed to making private use of alternative fuel an affordable reality by the end of 2009,” said Chris Ursitti, GreenHouse CEO. “As a result of the Governor’s forward-leaning environmental policies, we will make home delivery of clean and affordable ethanol something every Californian can count on.” The E-Fuel distribution system is a model for sustainability. The organic fuel is produced using carbohydrate waste products found abundantly in brewery waste, algae and cellulose (no corn or food-based products). Using state-of-the-art semiconductor technology, the appliance-sized units are pump-stations and ethanol distillers that can be installed at residences by the GreenHouse distribution team. Each MicroFueler requires three kilowatts of electricity to produce a gallon of Efuel100, in turn one gallon of Efuel100 will generate up to 23 kilowatts of power. The ethanol generated will play an affordable and integral part in reducing California greenhouse gas emissions. GreenHouse has partnered with notable companies including Karl Strauss, Gordon Biersch and Sunny Delight, to convert 29,000 tons of liquid waste using the Efuel 100 Microfueler process.

Theme Zoom creates an international keyword research tool that provides semantic, LSI and Bayesian Predictive Analysis for the first time to the general public. [PRWeb Jun 3, 2009] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2009/6/prweb2489054.htm Tue, 02 Jun 2009 18:36:12 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com Theme Zoom Keyword Research Technology You don't need to look very far for information on keyword research and semantic analysis. The question Russell Wright asks (and so should you) is this: are you really getting the most out of your keyword research methods? If traditional SEO provides any clues, the answer is a resounding no. Russell Wright, a leading expert in the area of keyword research revealed, "There is a huge difference between keyword research and market research." The real story here is that the Internet is changing and fragmenting into smaller niches and micro-niches. As a result of these changes, it is necessary to look at whole groups of keywords using LSI and Bayesian algorithms to get an understanding of complete conversations instead of individual keywords within your market. No "plain vanilla" keyword research tool is able to perform these types of advanced calculations. Kelley Reynolds, developer of The Last Keyword Tool technology describes Theme Zoom's reasons for developing an affordable LSI keyword research tool for the masses: "It appears as though there are probably a dozen or more keyword tools out on the market that all claim to do various things and present information in some particularly unique or insightful way. This means that you need to be a subscriber to about 6 different tools in order to get all of the information that you need for some particular project and copy/paste keywords around to do different kinds of analysis on them. Being the engineer that I am, this strikes me as a really inefficient way of getting anything done." Theme Zoom plans to turn "The Last Keyword Tool" into a "final solution" for keyword research. An ambitious endeavor, yes, but with a track record for creating market research applications like the Krakken ™ , many fans expect them to accomplish exactly this. The Theme Zoom team asks you to consider these six areas before selecting a Natural Language Processing keyword research tool. - It is useful if the tool provides both international and country-specific results. If your market is within a certain country, and the tool does not provide results specific to that country, then the tool's results won't be relevant to your market. - It is useful if the tool is available in foreign languages to support international commerce. - It is important that the tool not return static keywords from an outdated database, but "fresh squeezed" keywords that are used on the Internet in "real time." - It is useful to be able to analyze keywords that are retrieved using authentic LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) and Bayesian algorithms to understand which are most relevant to the leading conversations going on in relationship to your business theme. - It is useful if you can import keywords into a keyword tool...

If traditional SEO provides any clues, the answer is a resounding no. Russell Wright, a leading expert in the area of keyword research revealed, "There is a huge difference between keyword research and market research." The real story here is that the Internet is changing and fragmenting into smaller niches and micro-niches. As a result of these changes, it is necessary to look at whole groups of keywords using LSI and Bayesian algorithms to get an understanding of complete conversations instead of individual keywords within your market. No "plain vanilla" keyword research tool is able to perform these types of advanced calculations. Kelley Reynolds, developer of The Last Keyword Tool technology describes Theme Zoom's reasons for developing an affordable LSI keyword research tool for the masses: "It appears as though there are probably a dozen or more keyword tools out on the market that all claim to do various things and present information in some particularly unique or insightful way. This means that you need to be a subscriber to about 6 different tools in order to get all of the information that you need for some particular project and copy/paste keywords around to do different kinds of analysis on them. Being the engineer that I am, this strikes me as a really inefficient way of getting anything done." Theme Zoom plans to turn "The Last Keyword Tool" into a "final solution" for keyword research. An ambitious endeavor, yes, but with a track record for creating market research applications like the Krakken ™ , many fans expect them to accomplish exactly this. The Theme Zoom team asks you to consider these six areas before selecting a Natural Language Processing keyword research tool. - It is useful if the tool provides both international and country-specific results. If your market is within a certain country, and the tool does not provide results specific to that country, then the tool's results won't be relevant to your market. - It is useful if the tool is available in foreign languages to support international commerce. - It is important that the tool not return static keywords from an outdated database, but "fresh squeezed" keywords that are used on the Internet in "real time." - It is useful to be able to analyze keywords that are retrieved using authentic LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) and Bayesian algorithms to understand which are most relevant to the leading conversations going on in relationship to your business theme. - It is useful if you can import keywords into a keyword tool...

Rocked to their core, consumers are saying a good-bye to frivolous expenditures. In fact, Americans say that even after the recession ends, their spending will return to just 86% of pre-recession levels, which equates to an approximate 10% drop, according to a new survey by AlixPartners LLP. On the savings front, the survey revealed that once the recession ends, Americans plan to save 14% of their total earnings, with the replenishment of their 401(k) and other retirement savings their biggest long-term concerns. In the end, this financial crisis may be recorded as a "generation-changing moment" where investors chose risk management over risky business. To help adjust to and even prosper in this "reset" economy, Jeff Carbone, partner of Cornerstone Financial Partners, recommends three tips.

"Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery" discusses brain monitored propofol ketamine (PK) anesthesia, a breakthrough technique pioneered by Friedberg, the top international authority on anesthesia for cosmetic surgery. Propofol is an antioxidant, a sleep drug and powerful anti-nausea drug. Under PK anesthesia, patients wake up refreshed, looking as if they never had surgery.

"I am very happy with my book's huge success in the English speaking world. I am even more thrilled to be able to say that my book is now available to surgical teams in the world's number one market in their own language," Friedberg says. "Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery" was the first anesthesia textbook to define levels of anesthesia numerically instead of with verbal descriptions. It was the first anesthesia textbook to define a reproducible context in which ketamine could be used to get pre-emptive analgesia without the drug's historically negative side effects. The pre-emptive analgesia breakthrough eliminates the need to give patients narcotic (opioid) pain medication during and after surgery. Narcotics are recognized as causes for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), the number one issue patient's most want to avoid. Brazilian, like American, surgery patients will receive PK's advantages of no PONV as well as minimal to no post-op pain.

"Of these 2,211 reported deaths most either received an outright anesthetic over-dosage or received more anesthetic than they would have likely received had their brain had been monitored instead of the changes in their vital signs," says Friedberg.

Point reduction cannot be used as "credit" against future points or reduce a driver's point total lower than zero. To receive the insurance reduction, the driver must present the completion certificate to his or her insurance company. If the driver delivers the certificate within 90 days, the aforementioned premium reduction will begin immediately, retroactive to the course completion date. Insurers may issue discounts effective from the date the certificate is presented if more than 90 days have passed since the course was completed.

ASC and its affiliated organizations offer online traffic and workplace safety training, governmental services and professional continuing education programs, in association with state and federal regulatory agencies and court systems.

"L-Tox contains specific and highly concentrated herbs and nutraceuticals to modulate the two main detoxification enzyme systems in the liver, known as the Phase I and Phase II detoxification systems.," said Harvey. "L-Tox also contains important liver antioxidants and nutrients to nourish the liver for optimal function and health." The liver is the largest internal organ in the body and comprises about 2% (about 3 lbs) of total body weight. Most of us do not give much thought to the importance of the liver, but it is one of the hardest working organs in the body and plays a major role in metabolism performing more than 500 different functions and thousands of chemical reactions per day. "Most importantly, the liver is the main organ that filters the blood - about 2 quarts every minute - and it also metabolizes and eliminate toxins from the body," said Harvey. "L-Tox is an important dietary supplement for anyone ingesting large amounts of protein, using androgens, testosterone or pro-hormones, consuming alcohol on a regular basis, using prescription and non-prescription drugs or exposed to air pollutants and other environmental chemicals." L-Tox was formulated to complement Max Muscle's other intestinal detoxification and health products including, Max Cleanse & Lean, Max Green Synergy, and Max Glutamine.
