Healthcare Businesses Leading the Way to More Jobs!

Leave a comment

According to the Department of Labor statistics, healthcare businesses are leading the way out of the current economic recession. Healthcare Business Solutions, an Eagan, Minnesota based company is part of the healthcare expansion process.

Saint Paul, MN (USA), April 03, 2013 — On March 11, 2013, the Department of Labor Statistics showed that healthcare businesses had created 32,000 new jobs in February. This was 13.6% of the total US jobs created for the month. Healthcare Business Solutions, a local company in Eagan, Minnesota is part of the healthcare expansion leading the country out of the recession.

Tunisia Irby, the owner of Healthcare Business Solutions, started her medical billing business for chiropractors and mental health practitioners in 2007. She has now outgrown her space in Eagan. On April 1st, Healthcare Business Solutions will move to a larger location where additional medical billing clerks will be employed as her business continues to expand to meet the new demands of the healthcare industry.

When asked why healthcare businesses jobs continue to grow, Ms Irby said the healthcare expansion comes from several areas. “As the population ages, there is a need for more healthcare services. There is also a shift in medical practice as more jobs shift to tech support, medical secretaries and medical records experts so staff like registered nurses, therapists and doctors can spend more time with patients.”

In addition, Irby added, “We have the 2010 Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) that will be fully implemented in October of 2013. Initially this implementation will create additional medical jobs at all levels.”

Ms Irby also noted that electronic medical records are changing the healthcare landscape. As new electronic record systems are implemented, new opportunities open for businesses like Healthcare Business Solutions ( http://www.healthcarebizsol.com ). They can electronically do the billing and coding from their own offices to a serve a much wider geographic area.

New Research Shows Camu Camu Superfruit Improves Obesity Biomarkers

Leave a comment

An. Acad. Bras.Cienc. confirmed that Camu-camu was able to improve the biochemical markers of obesity in rats.

Amazonian Camu-camu fruit (Myrciaria dubia) has attracted interest from food and cosmetics industries because of its rich content of vitamin C, flavonoids and anthocyanins. The goal of the study was to investigate the anti-obesity action of the ingestion of Camu-camu pulp in a rat model of diet-induced obesity – using Wistar rats with obesity induced by receiving diet ad libitum.

The rats were divided in two groups: an experimental group that ingested 25 mL/day of Camu-camu pulp (CCG) and a non-treated group (CG). After 12 weeks, the animals were tested. Blood, liver, heart, white adipose tissues were collected and weighed; biochemical and inflammatory profiles were examined as well.

Animals that received the pulp of Camu-camu had reduced fat in white adipose tissues and improved biochemical profiles of obesity including glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-c and insulin blood levels. There was also an increase in beneficial HDL-c levels. The research suggests there may be potential use for Camu-camu in the control of obesity and as a functional food.

According to Matakana SuperFoods founder Dr Kevin Glucina the link to obesity came as a surprise to him. “We originally introduced Camu Camu to our product range because it is nature’s number one source of vitamin C complex. We had no idea it had potential to influence other biomarkers associated with obesity. This new research is based on a rodent model so now we need to see a follow-up human trial. Clinical research revealing the benefits of SuperFoods is accelerating as public interest grows about which foods provide the best naturally integrated nutrients for health.

There is a large movement away from formulated vitamin supplements and toward Superfoods and wholefoods in general. If people realise they can get their family’s daily vitamin C requirements by adding a natural superfruit powder like Camu Camu to their daily smoothie, why would they choose to buy a synthetic vitamin C tablet that has been produced in China from corn starch? Sure, they both have vitamin C but the wholefood Camu Camu also contains a complex of co-factors, vitamins, minerals and health-supporting phytonutrients that are put together by nature to give you much more bang for your buck. Not only has our digestive system evolved with wholefoods, there are also many complex mechanisms in play in wholefoods. Camu Camu has approximately 120 different phytochemicals; just how all those phytochemicals interact for our benefit is a hot topic in scientific research. It is the synergistic interaction of the different compounds in Superfoods which may be responsible for throwing up surprising benefits like those seen in this study into Camu Camu and obesity. These complex natural substances and interactions from wholefoods and Superfoods just can’t be duplicated by chemists at this time.Personally, the only vitamin supplement I take is vitamin D3 in winter. For the rest, in most cases, I think we can get far better quality from good quality wholefood and Superfoods.

The results of the Camu Camu study are very exciting and certainly support the high amount of interest in this new superfruit. The key thing I am taking away from this research is the influence that Camu Camu had on all the obesity biomarkers like blood-sugar levels and cholesterol. Sure, the rats lost weight, but more importantly, all the biomarkers became more healthy and that’s what’s important. I am always skeptical about claims made for one food as a cure-all for weight loss. In my opinion, even though the research looks promising, you can’t just rely on one magic food like Camu Camu to save you from the obesity epidemic. Lifestyle changes, the timing of diet and exercise are the most important factors when it comes to obesity; combine that with key super-nutrients and you are heading in the right direction.

We have done a lot of work on obesity and Superfoods at Matakana – we already have a new low calorie, high-nutrient Super Shake formula with Camu Camu and other key Superfoods like chia seeds, sacha inchi protein powder, red raspberry, goji and maqui berry freeze-dried powders incorporated into it. The Super Shake is naturally sweetened with low G.I pure coconut sugar, and the delicious flavor is enhanced with pure freeze-dried blueberry, banana juice and mango powders. The Super Shake can be taken as a once-per-day meal replacement to aid weight managment or as a post-workout recharge and is a great way for families to get a wide range of natural super-nutrients for improved general health. It is a viable safe alternative to synthetic vitamins for the whole family and all the ingredients are naturally gluten, dairy, preservative, coloring and GMO free.”

Camu Camu can be purchased from Matakana SuperFoods in bulk powder or capsule form and is also incorporated into the Matakana SuperFoods “Top 10 SuperFoods Super Shake”.

Very Important Relationships, Inc. Announces Merchant Funded Customer Loyalty Solution

Leave a comment

Very Important Relationships, Inc. (VIR), one of the nation’s premier builders of Internet CashBack Rewards Shopping Malls, today announced the launch of its new “merchant funded” customer loyalty solutions division.

Reno, NV, April 03, 2013 – Very Important Relationships, Inc. (VIR), http://myvir.com , one of the nation’s premier builders of Internet CashBack Rewards Shopping Malls, today announced the launch of its new “merchant funded” customer loyalty solutions division. This array of services includes VIR’s newest generation of CashBack Shopping Rewards Malls.

“VIR’s merchant funded customer loyalty program is one of the most effective customer loyalty rewards program available”, says Jody Tallal, CEO of VIR. “It is also one of the most costs efficient in the industry.”

What is a merchant funded customer loyalty program? Normally, a customer loyalty program is funded from profits earned when a customer purchases product or service from the sponsoring company. A portion of those profits are then allocated to a customer’s account as an award to attract them to become a more loyal customer. For example, American Airlines, awards Advantage miles based on mileage flown which can then be redeemed for free travel once they accumulates to a certain award level. These miles when redeemed take inventory away from American Airlines that it could have sold and instead consumes it to provide the award. Thus American Airlines pays for its own award from profits previously earned from the loyal customers past purchases.

“VIR’s merchant funded loyalty reward program is unique in that it is actually funded by third party merchants, not the sponsoring company offering the customer loyalty reward.” states Tallal. “VIR accomplishes this through the use of the affiliate marketing industry and VIR’s innovative technology.”

The way VIR’s Customer Loyalty Rewards program works is that a client who wishes to offer a Customer Loyalty Rewards mall to its customers, receives its own branded version of one of VIR’s newest generation CashBack malls. However, instead of sending a customer a check for their CashBack earned, these funds can be converted into a currency that must be spent back with the sponsoring client. The currency might be points in an existing customer loyalty rewards program offered by the client, or money placed on account to be used to pay for the client’s products or services. In the case of a services company which bills monthly for its services, it can also be used towards the customer’s monthly bill to reduce its cost to them.

“Since VIR is a technology company that develops CashBack mall technology, it focus has remains intently on enhancing its technology, says Tallal. “This has resulted in VIR now offering a platform that is unrivaled in the industry.”

VIR’s system has been designed to be completely frictionless. Its new 3rd generation CashBack malls (“v3”) have also been designed to greatly increase customer interaction, which results in increased use and retention. The new v3 platform is achieving Bounce Rates of less than 10%, which is unequalled in the industry.

VIR’s technology allows it to create very sophisticated custom applications that can meet the most demanding client’s needs. Its system architecture allows for a rapid development cycle and full deployment of a customized and integrated platform within a few days to a few weeks, instead of several months to a year.

Autism is Eradicated in 15% of Cases with GcMAF in a trial of 1,500 Children

Leave a comment

Over the last two years, four doctors led by Dr Jeffrey Bradstreet have eradicated autism using GcMAF in 15% of children and improved 70%. Another 15% did not respond.

St Peter Port, Guernsey (April 3, 2013) — Yesterday, April 2, was World Autism Awareness Day. Over the last two years, four doctors led by Dr Jeffrey Bradstreet have eradicated autism using GcMAF in 15% of children and improved 70%. Another 15% did not respond.

GcMAF is a vital part of the human immune system that does not function without it. However, many viruses attempt to prevent production of the body’s own GcMAF. If successful, this collapses the immune system, resulting in the infections growing unchecked. Immuno Biotech extracts and isolates GcMAF molecules that can then be injected to restore the body’s level of GcMAF to normal so that it can fight infections naturally. The quality of Immuno Biotech’s GcMAF and their exhaustive testing has made it the World’s leading supplier and the provider of choice for doctors and scientists with the company being cited in eleven research papers to date.

David Noakes, Immuno Biotech’s CEO, explained, “Dr Bradstreet used the nagalase and other tests to prove that 85% of autistic children had high levels of viruses and a compromised immune system. He did a study of 1500 autistic children and gave them weekly injections of our GcMAF. 70% of the children responded to the treatment with reduced symptoms, and an another 15% made full recoveries. Further trials around the world are coming up with identical results. The reduction of autistic symptoms is permanent provided that GcMAF has been taken for long enough for the body to start to produce its own GcMAF at normal levels, typically 24 weeks, but first results are usually seen inside 8 weeks.”

Dr. Jeff Bradstreet MD is an internationally recognized researcher in autism (http://www.drbradstreet.org) and will be presenting his latest finding on the effects of GcMAF on autism at the world’s first GcMAF conference, which will be held on the 19th, 20th and 21st of April in Frankfurt, Germany. Presentations by leading scientists and doctors from around the world will report on their exceptional results with case histories. Details can be found at http://gcmafconference.org/. Currently there are over 60 research papers on GcMAF by 142 eminent scientists with new peer-reviewed papers being added at an increasing rate from university teams and doctors from dozens of countries. Many of the independent research papers on GcMAF are listed on http://www.gcmaf.eu.

Background
A weekly injection of a tiny clear drop restores the level of GcMAF to normal, effectively one millionth of a blood transfusion. That enables the body’s own immune system to fight the disease, with the only occasional side effects being mild, cold-like symptoms as the immune system wakes up. The time it takes to fight the infection and return to producing normal levels of its own GcMAF depends on the severity of the infection or cancer. An eight week course costs €660 including shipping so a typical 24 week course costs under €2000. Immuno Biotech has supplied 4,000 patients through 300 doctors in 30 nations.

The realWITS Company Launches Websites for Real Estate Companies Dubbed “Smarter”

Leave a comment

An experienced and respected real estate participant and An experienced and respected real estate participant and SEO adviser has launched a new company, realWITS, to help brokers design actionable real estate company websites, get better results and learn how to integrate sales campaigns with modern techniques of leveraging real estate SEO benefits, providing interactive customer service and challenging not only with local online competitors but also with highly recognized online consumer real estate portals.

Real Estate Web Development Demands Compelling Websites

The company’s mantra is “Smarter Real Estate Websites,” and its mission is to educate real estate professionals about online marketing trends so that they can create more functional websites, optimize searches, integrate modern applications and produce dynamic content.

The real estate industry has traditionally resisted change, but modern real estate Web development and real estate SEO for websites require transformations from conservative advertising and marketing strategies to engage new generations of clients.

Randi Thornton, founder of realWITS, has built a reputation as the go-to SEO Google Gurufrom many years of experience in website development, online promotion and the real estate industry. Many real estate websites treat their online efforts as sideline activities or hobbies, and after working with big branded real estate company websites, Thornton feels strongly that the industry fail to take advantage of their full online marketing potential.

Major problems in most company real estate websites include the following shortcomings:

• Brokers do not control their online presence and messaging.
• Website designs fail to meet the needs of people who search online.
• Real estate websites struggle to achieve strong SEO rankings because of the original website build-out.
• Lack of regular technology upgrades force websites to become outdated.
• Failure to take advantage of website lead-generating capabilities.

Smarter Websites Integrate Design, Content and Functionality

Many real estate companies limit their prospects by only trying to compete with other brokerages, a strategy which fails to take advantage of today’s technologies used by other successful industries and the interactive potential of online marketing.

A popular destination real estate broker website strategically focuses on integration of successful leading websites approaches across all industries, and marketers need to incorporate key elements of design, fresh content, Google rankings, mobile technology, and fast processing speeds to keep up with competitors.

Savvy real estate brokers can optimize website performance by considering the following elements of design and function:

Create Distinctive Designs

Website design generates the platforms that launch successful online real estate marketing campaigns, and conceptual elements should compel a casual online website visitor to engage with actionable functionality by incorporating visually appealing design, easy to navigate structures and an intuitive user experience.

• Forward-thinking real estate brokers will take a look around them and learn from other applications that have gone viral.
• Stunning designs often depend on using a simplistic look and feel, clean site architecture, complementary color schemes, accessible search and intuitive controls.
• Functional copy includes compelling content that delivers quantifiable local communications that help buyers make informed and quicker buying decisions.
• A real estate company website needs to offer photo-centric platforms for property listings.
• Websites attract and retain buyers and sellers with property explore functionality that exposes robust search activity.
• Proper usage of on-site real estate SEO including keyword density, on-page SEO best practice techniques, optimize company brands, local authority rankings and online reputations.

Fluidity VS Static

Smarter real estate company websites create fluid designs that make incorporating changes and updating copy easy to accomplish. Google search engines now place great emphasis on freshness of content when ranking websites in organic searches. Effective sites leave room to make modular changes in designs and copy to take advantage of new technology and online trends.

Growing Impact of Mobile Devices

Consumers increasingly use their mobile devices to find products and services, keep track of personal appointments, make social connections and interact with local businesses. Real estate company website designs need to look good and provide searches with the information they seek on a variety of mobile-device screens.

Monitoring Traffic and Online Behavior

Analytic tools study behind-the-scenes practices and chart consumer behavior to help website owners tweak their designs, change their design strategies and respond to customer concerns and feedback. Smarter real estate company websites use these tools to generate leads, predict consumer behavior, stay ahead of marketing trends and create better real estate SEO campaigns.

Real Estate SEO Marketing

Real estate SEO (search engine optimization) marketing works differently than traditional advertising, and learning to leverage the benefits of on-site SEO helps real estate companies establish online authority, build reputations, interact and create enthusiasm for buyers and sellers, regions and neighborhoods.

Clever brokers will take advantage of unique community real estate data so people revisit for information and connections with a relevant, trend setting online real estate source.
Pinterest Type Usage of Imagery

Effective online real estate marketing requires correct usage of photos to productively showcase properties. No matter how well written a property description is it will never grab the attention of a buyer better than a picture will.

The main emphasis of a company real estate website should be imagery that tells a story and conveys “I want to see more” from buyers, says Randi Thornton.

The realWITS company offers expert real estate company website design, on site-SEO application, education, and strategy for savvy brokers who want to produce above-average returns from their online marketing dollars. The company will function as an authoritative source of designs, strategies and consultations on all the issues that impact a real estate company website.

About realWITS.com
Randi Thornton founded a mortgage company in 1994 and built her first website during the early years of the Worldwide Web to promote the lending business, but she became increasingly fascinated with the real estate side of the mortgage industry. After selling the first business, Thornton was contractually bound by a non-compete clause, so she began working in real estate as Franchise Sales Director for Realogy, parent company of Coldwell Banker, Century 21, ERA and Sotheby’s International Realty.

The realWITS project successfully brings together the real estate, website design and SEO techniques that Thornton used in business and makes them available to real estate companies that want to maximize their online marketing efforts by staying ahead of fast-changing technology and evolving online promotional trends.

Actyl Group Makes Third Trip to Belize to Recruit Workers

Leave a comment

Company seeks to find workers to fill western Canada labor shortage.

Regina, SK, Canada (April 3, 2013) — Actyl Group, a leading international recruiting firm, will once again return to Belize in an effort to find more skilled workers to fill the current labor shortage in western Canada.

During the trip, which will be the company’s third in just four months, Actyl Group representatives will interview people trained in a number of areas. The company is looking for people to fill key positions throughout the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, and plans on making nearly 100 new job offers in April alone.

“We have had great success finding outstanding workers in Belize since we started recruiting in this area, but Saskatchewan, Alberta and the rest of the Western Canada region continue to see major labor shortages,” said Adrian Schulz of Actyl Group. “The people we have met on our trips so far have been exceptional candidates, with great English, from hospitality to skilled trades. We look forward to meeting more potential workers as we again head to Central America.”

As a result of its previous trips to Belize, the Actyl Group made more than 70 job offers, with many of these candidates already about to start their new lives. “It is such an honor to be selected by an Employer in Canada – it will be an adventure. I very much appreciate Actyl for helping me get this opportunity and for supporting me every step of the way” says candidate Stacy Ramos of Belize. Western Canada’s labor shortage stems from the fact that the region experienced slow economic growth until about 2007, and many of its young people left for opportunities in other parts of the country. Over the past five years, however, the region has seen a tremendous amount of economic growth, spurring the need to bring in more workers to fill critical positions.

During its April trip, Actyl Group will particularly be looking for welders, heavy-duty mechanics, ironworkers, sheet metal workers, fabricators, machinists, geomembrane installers, commercial steel framers, flat roofers, small engine repair specialists, automotive technicians and plasterers. One employer also featured will be franchised McDonald’s Restaurants, which was recently named one of Canada’s Top 5 Best Employers for the ninth time.

“There are numerous top employers looking for workers who will bring a great work ethic and dependable skills to these positions, and we haven’t been let down yet when meeting with candidates in Belize,” said Schulz. “If you would like to explore the opportunities provided by western Canada’s recent economic growth, we invite you to meet with our team.”

Actyl Group will be at 19 Barbados Street in the City of Belmopan April 8-11, 2013, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The sessions are free, and potential candidates should bring a copy of their resumes, passports and any diplomas or certificates. To learn more, visit http://www.actyl.com/belize.
