On the eve of Saint Valentine's Day, Jones is dedicated to spread transformational messages throughout the world to empower those who are facing the challenges of today's life and are ready to listen to a new meaning of love.

Such new meaning is widely displayed through the striking clarity of her writings. Ongoing promotion of her best-selling book has as main objective the healing of the human heart at a global scale. The integration of "While I Was Learning To Become God" and her new line of products based on her inspirational quotes "Thoughts of the Heart" promises to deliver essential and reflective information. Jones aims at circulating the magic found behind her book's words and delivering inspiring gifts as a Thank You gesture to all participants that support her Kickstarter's campaign.

Those interested in supporting Jones' efforts to spread hope and empowerment must visit http://kck.st/messagesoflove to broadcast this message of love online and participate in this worldwide campaign.

Irexis Developed by Lab88 to Increase Male Libido

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:44:41 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Research Shows Low Libido Affects More than 30 Million U.S. Men

Lab88 has brought to the market, a revolutionary male enhancement pill, Irexis, which has been developed with ingredients shown to increase libido levels.

According to the Nutritional Health Institute Laboratories, a staggering 35 million men in the United States are currently countering problems associated with low libido levels, the primary amongst them being inability to enjoy fulfilling intimate relationships. In fact, low libido in men is believed to be one of the five most-reported reasons for failures in marriages.

Multiple studies have conclusively shown that stress is one of the most common reasons for loss of libido or its decreased levels. So are a variety of medical conditions like anemia, arthritis, diabetes, and some forms of neurological disorders. Taking anti-depressants, anti-hypertensive medications, and tranquilizers too have been associated with low levels of libido. Unfortunately, we do not have control over many of these factors and from here stems the requirement of male enhancement pills designed to help increase libido levels.

The Irexis male enhancement supplement is a blend of potent natural ingredients that have been time proven to help boost libido levels and enable men to enjoy more fulfilling relationships. The primary ingredient is Yohimbe extract. Yohimbe is considered by many as a natural alternative to Viagra and has been tested and demonstrated to be effective and at times safer than its synthetic counterpart. Besides Yohimbe extract, this male enhancement pill is also infused with Catuaba bark extract, Muira Puama, and Tribulus Terrestris—ingredients which are well known as natural aphrodisiacs and to help enhance testosterone levels. These in turn, help to increase libido levels.

Formulated as a blend of natural ingredients, Irexis is an alternative to prescription male enhancement and is not known to have any unpleasant side effects. What is more, most users have seen a quick effect, usually between 20-60 minutes. The pills, packaged in bottles of 60, which is a month's supply, sell for $59.99. Discounts are available at the Irexis site, http://www.lab88.com/sexual-dysfunction/irexis.asp.

About Lab88
Whether it's to get a better night's rest, lose weight, increase energy or rectify sexual impotence, detoxify the liver, kidney or colon, or deal with any of a half-a-dozen other quality-of-life issues, Lab88 betters the life of its patients and consumers each and every day.

Key West Real Estate Market Report Issued By Florida Keys REALTOR(R) Sean Farrer

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:28:39 +0000

Key West, Florida real estate agent Sean Farrer issued a real estate market report for the area based on recent sold statistics and trends he has observed in the market, saying the market has started off well for the year.

/EINPresswire.com/ KEY WEST, Fla. - Key West, Florida real estate agent Sean Farrer issued a real estate market report for the area based on recent sold statistics and trends he has observed in the market.

Farrer says that sales in 2012 are already starting off well.

"With our peak season already here, last month saw a total of 48 Key West real estate properties sold. Those were comprised of 25 single family homes, 22 condos, and a commercial property."

He says that contingent and pending transactions for December 2011 totaled 121 transactions, with a total of 438 active listings.

"The number of listings on the market is slightly lower than it would normally be, due to a shortage of inventory in certain price levels of the Key West Real Estate market."

Farrer says that with interest rates remaining below 4% for a fixed 30 year mortgage, the Key West area is seeing more home buyers, with a lot of FHA loans since the 3.5% down makes the down payment more affordable to first time home buyers.

"Many folks from out of town are very surprised at how affordable it is to live in Key West. We have a lot of snow birds come here for their cold season back home because our comfortably warm climate, but a good many of them decide to stay year round once they get used to the relaxed island lifestyle."

RDArchitects Opens New London Office

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:48:16 +0000

RDArchitects have opened a new office in the heart of the Capital

RDArchitects London opens for business.

/EINPresswire.com/ RDArchitects have expended their area of operations by opening a new office in the heart of the capital. The London office officially opened for business in January of this year.

RDArchitects have always worked with a number of London based clients; the new office will enable them to strengthen ties with these clients and enable them to seek new opportunities in what is still a buoyant market.

Head of office Steve Rayner said "In many respects London hasn't been touched by the property recession. The high end residential sector in particular has remained strong and if anything has got stronger over the past couple of years. Many people see London as a safe haven free of the uncertainty surrounding some economies. This is one area that we will be targeting."

RDArchitects have recently been commissioned to assist with the refurbishment of an apartment block in Chelsea, working with a London based interior designer, and a number of similar commissions are in the pipeline.

RDArchitects also act as expert witnesses, often in matters involving litigation. Steve Rayner said, "it is a sad fact of life that many developments are built with too much haste and little regard to quality. Inevitably these properties quickly show their age and defects start to appear well before they should. Working with our clients lawyers we are able to assist in reporting on these issues."

The office, which is located on Gray's Inn Road, will be working alongside their two existing offices in Nottingham and Kent.

Ends

Numina Group Debuts SmartCart™, Increasing Pick, Pack, Ship Productivity By Thirty Percent

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:46:31 +0000

Distribution efficiency expert, Numina Group, unveiled their newest innovation in shipping and warehouse automation last week, SmartCart™. The latest in pick-pack-ship technology accelerates productivity by 30%, increasing profitability.

/EINPresswire.com/ WOODRIDGE, IL - In today's economy, efficiency and accuracy are more important than ever in the pick, pack, ship industry. Numina Group introduced their newest innovation in warehouse automation this last week at the Parcel Forum 2011 in Chicago, called the SmartCart™.

Numina Group gave live demonstrations in their booth at Parcel Forum 2011, and explained how the SmartCart™ technology is 30% faster than a voice-only pick cart. Workers can easily pick and pack 12 or more orders at once, which not only increases productivity and return on investment, but adds single touch order fulfillment accuracy.

Also showcased was how user-friendly SmartCart™ is for every employee. The system promotes faster pick and pack validation, combining voice with an easy to follow light-guided visual display. Offering far more than just voice picking, SmartCart™ also offers labor management tools, and velocity-based SKU picking analytics. The built-in metrics quickly inform management where production stands, further increasing the profitability of the system. In most cases, SmartCart™ will pay for itself in 12 months of usage.

"SmartCart™ is a game-changer for the order-fulfillment industry. For companies to see such an increase in productivity, accuracy, and profitability, there is simply no reason not to upgrade. Having such an intuitive interface will leave you wondering why no one thought of this system earlier!" concluded the Numina Group.

Europe is Leading Cold Chain Distribution Conference

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 08:26:34 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ SMi Group is proud to announce its 6th annual Cold Chain Distribution conference, which will be held in London on 5th & 6th December 2011. This conference follows on from SMi's previous highly successful Cold Chain Distribution events and offers the opportunity to keep up-to-date with the latest regulations, challenges and solutions that you need to know about for successful and cost-effective cold chain distribution

New for 2011: This conference will also address Temperature Control Management. This year, the conference will not only tackle issues surrounding effective management of your cold chain distribution network but the new and increasingly important issue of Controlled Room Temperature management and regulations. Many of the lessons learned from the cold chain can be applied to CRT management and this is the ideal opportunity to learn about transferable experiences and skills.

Why you should attend:

• Analyse the environmental impact and responsibilities within the cold chain. Reusable and recyclable packaging will play an ever more important role to maintain green credentials, but are they cost effective?

• Develop your knowledge of the cold chain. From start to end, it is important to know everything about your cold chain distribution network to gain maximum advantage.

• Understand new regulations - learn how to adapt to new CRT regulations. Gain advantage and avoid costly & time consuming auditing.

• Explore the possibility of an uninterrupted cold chain - with supply delays causing massive disruption as well as coming at a heavy cost it is more important than ever to effectively contingency plan. Minimising and avoiding delay is critical within the cold chain.

• Improve your monitoring of wholesaler security. Passing trust and liability on comes with risk but also reward for both parties. Effective management of the relationship is therefore critical.

• Evolve your understanding of temperature control management. New temperature management regulations effect not just the cold chain, but also room temperature storage, as 'room temperature' can fluctuate wildly and needs to be controlled and supervised correctly.

Our exceptional speaker line-up includes:
• Ray Goff, Director, Pfizer
• Stephen Mitchell, QA Manager, Quality & Compliance, Logistics, GSK
• Nigel Cryer, Head Quality Operations, Arrow Pharrm
• Marc Mostinckx, Senior Director, Global Logistics Lead, UCB
• Eliva Quiroz Loriega, Cold Chain & Shipping Validation Specialist, Pfizer

HR in the CLOUD Offers Unified SaaS Solutions to the HR Industry

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 17:41:43 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Four industry-leading HR technology vendors have joined forces to satisfy the growing demand for powerful, affordable, and complete HR software as a service (SaaS) solutions. HR in the Cloud™ combines the best-of-breed software of myStaffingPro, BambooHR, CRG emPerform, and Strategia Ed.

Capitalizing on the success of their individual solutions, the four companies have collaborated to create HR in the Cloud, a groundbreaking collaboration of unified SaaS solutions that integrates applicant tracking, human resource information system (HRIS), performance management, and learning and compliance management. Together the products will provide a streamlined process from recruitment through the entire employee life cycle.

This groundbreaking venture stemmed from the need for affordable HR software that can deliver rich functionality and proven results as opposed to thinner offerings that lack specialization.

Today's business landscape is more fierce and competitive than ever. In order to survive and thrive, companies of all sizes must find cost-effective ways to manage and optimize business processes. SaaS solutions are an attractive option as they allow even the smallest of companies to implement crucial technologies. SaaS solutions offer speedy deployment, affordability, controlled risk, reduced I.T. burden, flexibility and most importantly, accessibility. Employees are often the largest organizational expense. HR in the Cloud's Unified SaaS solutions allow organizations to optimize this investment.

The life cycle begins with myStaffingPro applicant tracking system. myStaffingPro provides the technology to recruit, qualify, track and hire applicants.

"HR in the Cloud joins myStaffingPro with the best-in-class HRIS, performance management, and learning and compliance management systems. The partnership joins four of the strongest solution specialists into a unified talent management suite," stated CEO at myStaffingPro Bob Schulte.

Once hired, the employee data is exported into the HRIS system, BambooHR. BambooHR features employee data management, as well as PTO, benefit, and training tracking.

"HR in the Cloud addresses HR needs throughout the employee life cycle. Bamboo HR's superior service, security, and flexibility is now enhanced through its relationship with myStaffingPro, emPerfom, and Strategia which shares these high standards," added BambooHR CEO Ben Peterson.

The final phase, aligning and developing employees, is accomplished with emPerform's robust employee performance management suite and Strategia's learning and compliance management system. emPerform comes standard with vital performance management tools such as automated appraisals, succession planning, compensation management, goal alignment, 360 multi-rater reviews, and reporting functionality.

Strategia offers the Ed Learning System™ which provides a global platform to plan, deliver, track and manage an organization's formal and informal learning activities, compliance, competencies and certification programs as well as to create and deliver content through one or multiple portals including eCommerce gateways.

"HR in the Cloud is a talent management suite at its finest. Rather than merging and acquiring countless systems, HR in the Cloud connects four best-in-class specialist solutions. The result is a talent management super horse that still has a complete development and support team," added Schulte.

HR in the Cloud provides a complete end-to-end recruiting and talent management platform to enable businesses to effectively attract, recruit, align, reward, train, and retain top talent. To learn more about HR in the Cloud, please visit http://www.hr-inthecloud.com

HR in the Cloud will debut their offering to more than 4,000 H.R. professionals at the 2011 HR Technology Conference October 3-5 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
