Grass Valley, CA (PRWEB) October 20, 2009

Why would anyone want a back yard chicken coop? Because raising chickens and enjoying fresh eggs is one thing people can do to off set rising food bills. Its fun, kids love it, and the eggs are healthy and delicious tasting from happy chickens. Producing food locally saves fossil fuels and it doesn't get much more local than the back yard. Even the garden benefits from all the free fertilizer which serves to restore the soil. Only two or three fun and entertaining pet chickens will provide one to two dozen eggs per week.

For people tentatively taking their first step into the field of chickens, the back yard chicken coop offered by Creative Coops is an easy way to start small with only two to three chickens in a single hen house. But unlike any other coop on the market, all the parts are modular, so along with some new parts, customers can later transform what they have into a larger hen house to accommodate more chickens. One hen house can expand from 2' x 2' to 2' x 4' or as much as 4' by 4'. "It's like LEGO® meets chicken coops" says owner Mark Hall. Wheels can even be added allowing any hen house and pen to be easily moved around a yard. Everything is ordered over the internet and shipped to the customer's front door.

Boomer Reignites Lifelong Passion with Fitness Website and Blog

Boomer Reignites Lifelong Passion with Fitness Website and Blog

GMNfitness. com is a new website with a brilliant approach to tackling all the most pertinent fitness issues including anti-aging, weight loss and building muscle. Website founder Gayl Newton sat down to discuss her unique approach to fitness, and how she intends to help others achieve their fitness goals through her website and her new blog.

San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) August 2, 2009

"Not too long ago, the company I worked at for more than a decade was forced to close their local facility," said Gayl Newton. "I was laid off, and as a boomer, a career change wasn't a challenge I wanted to undertake."

While Newton was mulling over how to approach the challenge of moving on with her life, she started walking to relieve her stress. "Walking was a calming experience that gave me time to think and strategize about what I was going to do next," said Newton. "Knowing I might have to get another job at some point, I wanted to keep in good health, so walking helped with that as well."

Newton's routine that started with simple walking reignited her passion for fitness, and led to the launch of her website www. GMNFitness. com.

"It all started with walking, but then I started lifting weights, doing floor exercises, taking vitamins and eating healthier. Then all of the sudden I was helping others achieve their fitness goals and start on a path to a new life," said Newton. "It all happened so fast sometimes I don't even know how I got here."

While Newton's career shift was unexpected, she had been passionate about fitness her whole life. "I've never been totally out of shape, but I used to exercise a lot more when I was younger," said Newton. "I felt invincible, like I could take on any challenge, and that's how I feel now as well."

With the launch of her new blog at www. GMNFitnessBlog. com, Newton hopes to share her zeal for fitness with others, and provide tips and information for leading a healthier life. "I want to offer more than just information on fitness routines, but advice about motivation, having fun and keeping a positive outlook."

While her website will provide useful products and information for all aspiring fitness enthusiasts, Newton hopes to focus on helping other boomers attain success. "I want to make sure I'm as healthy as possible right now, and I think a lot of other boomers feel the same."

PHASE-1 provides National Cancer Institute with key toxicogenomic service

Santa Fe, NM (PRWEB) May 9, 2003 – PHASE-1 Molecular Toxicology today announced it is providing key toxicogenomics services for the National Cancer Institute (NCI). This service will provide insight into cancer treatments and the toxicity produced by these agents in comparison to the mechanism of antitumor action.

Toxicogenomics represents an emerging field of toxicology that is rapidly gaining in both credibility and importance. The field is the product of biotechnology and informational technology, making use of the explosive growth of human and animal genome data and advances in computer software for data archiving and mining.

“We are very pleased to have the National Cancer Institute as our client. Toxicogenomics is gaining recognition as a tool to define adverse drug toxicity. The service we provide to NCI will aid the selection of potent anticancer drugs with minimal side effects and help define the mechanism responsible for toxicity.” said Albert Li, PhD, President and CEO of PHASE-1.

PHASE-1 will be receiving animal tissues from multiple contract laboratories performing preclinical safety studies for the National Cancer Institute. The animal tissues will be evaluated for treatment related gene expression effects in the laboratories of PHASE-1.

“The reason we went with PHASE-1 is that they have toxchips for the relevant species in which we perform our toxicity studies” said Joseph E. Tomaszewski, Ph. D., Chief, Toxicology and Pharmacology Branch.

Zrinity Announces Launch of 'Q&A With a Super-Coder'

Zrinity Announces Launch of 'Q&A With a Super-Coder'

The Zrinity email delivery solution algorithm makes millions of decisions per minute and Matt Finn, Super-Coder at Zrinity, is the only person who can explain it. Q&A With a Super Coder will help existing and potential customers understand the numerous amount of work involved in email communications and the depth to which email delivery servers go in order to ensure email delivery.

Utica, NY (PRWEB) November 4, 2007

Zrinity, Inc. based in Utica New York, provider of email delivery server solutions, today announced a new series of articles named, "Q&A With a Super-Coder," and a new release of their email delivery algorithm. The algorithm is the crux of the Zrinity Email Marketing System which powers millions of email marketing communications for hundreds of Zrinity customers every day.

Q&A With a Super Coder will help existing and potential customers understand the numerous amount of work involved in email communications and the depth to which email delivery servers go in order to ensure emails, especially those such as invoices, notices and other transactional emails, actually get delivered, to an inbox, not a spam folder.

Rob Thrasher, Marketing Director, Zrinity: "There is no doubt that the email delivery algorithm producers at Zrinity are far ahead of their peers in the email industry, but it amazed me as I interviewed them, how FAR ahead they are. Matt Finn is one of the key coders for Zrinity's email systems and I thought it would be interesting to publish some of the conversation to the blog. Matt Finn is the lead developer at Zrinity, Inc. and has been coding for Zrinity for a decade."

Rob asked Matt, "...what is the decision making process of the algorithm..." Matt Replies, "The system takes statistical samples over time for each email sender to statistically determine if there are connection limits between our sending server and the recipient server. Theirs no way to tell for sure what each recipient servers limitations are and the thousands of variations on email sent from a particular IP, with specific names in the email subject/body/etc. will affect delivery."

Freewebs, based in Silver Spring, Maryland, recently chose Zrinity Email Marketing System to power its email marketing communications. Freewebs partnered with Zrinity to improve delivery rates, delivery speeds, and conversion. Freewebs' customers have built over 17 million websites using Freewebs free "do it yourself" web publishing tool that makes it easy to add blogs, photos, videos, music, e-commerce and more.

Medelita Introduces A Breakthrough In Healthcare Uniforms For Women

Medelita Introduces A Breakthrough In Healthcare Uniforms For Women

Medelita introduces a breakthrough in medical apparel for female clinicians, including intelligent innovations that redefine the way women in healthcare present themselves professionally. Offering an array of long-overdue and first-of-their-kind enhancements, Medelita sets a new standard for quality, comfort, performance and fit for the more than 8 million women in the U. S. alone wearing scrubs and lab coats to work.

San Clemente, CA (PRWEB) July 12, 2008

Medelita™ introduces a breakthrough in medical apparel for female clinicians, including intelligent innovations that redefine the way women in healthcare present themselves professionally.

Developed by seasoned Physician Assistant Lara Manchik, Medelita offers an array of long-overdue and first-of-their-kind enhancements in the quality, comfort, performance and fit of scrubs and lab coats worn by female clinicians at http://www. medelita. com (http://www. medelita. com).

"Clinician scrubs and lab coats have not changed since the 1970s," explains Manchik. "Medelita originated out of a very real and urgent need among female clinicians, myself included, who were frustrated with the shapeless unisex style scrubs made from uncomfortable fabrics. Female clinicians are consummate professionals who deserve a uniform that reflects their confidence and poise. Until Medelita, we simply had no other choice. Now, finally, we do."

In creating the Medelita line of clinician scrubs and lab coats, Manchik introduced a number of welcome, first-time innovations. While maintaining many of the traditional scrubs features, Medelita provides a professional and flattering fit for the female form never before seen in the typical unisex scrubs. Clinician scrubs tops feature darting at the bust, tapering at the waist and hips, and tailoring at the sleeves, while clinician pants include a subtle, slimming bootleg, contoured rise front to back, and flattering seam placement. Combined with thoughtful features such as side panel pockets and a hidden money pocket, Medelita clinician scrubs allow women to look and feel their best at work.

Manchik paid equal attention to form and function in designing the Medelita clinician lab coat. Featuring a rounded feminine color, tailored shaping, finished inside seams, high-quality buttons and a flattering back waist belt, Medelita lab coats look as professional as the women who wear them.

Based on her years working in a fast-paced ER environment, Manchik also understands the importance of comfort and performance as well as style and fit. Hand-sewn in the U. S.A. using the finest quality fabrics, Medelita clinician scrubs and lab coats maintain their supreme softness, wash after wash. While comfortably soft, they are also extremely durable, thanks to a number of high-performance, cutting-edge fabric technologies never before used in medical apparel. Clinician scrubs feature moisture-transferring Dri-release® technology and bacteriostat FreshGuard® microblend technology by Optimer, which help keep the fabric fresh and odor-free even after a grueling 12-hour shift. Made from ultra-soft 100% brushed cotton that resists wrinkling, the Medelita lab coats employ Advanced Dual Action Teflon® developed by DuPont® to repel liquid spills, as well as High IQ® Easycare Plus by Huntsman to maintain a crisp, professional appearance, wear after wear.

These innovations are quickly capturing the attention of appreciative female clinicians around the country. An early adopter of Medelita, Long Island Physician Assistant Jamie Huggler expresses her excitement at wearing her Medelita scrubs and lab coat on the job. "Now I look forward to going to work. I look better, feel better, and am simply more comfortable while doing my job. This is exactly what young, professional women in healthcare have been looking for."

More than an innovative line of medical apparel, Manchik is dedicated to creating a supportive community of women in healthcare who deserve recognition and respect for the important work they do, often so selflessly. "Medelita is something women can do to reward themselves," says Manchik. "As a company, we want to reward them as well. That's why we've dedicated a section of our web site to celebrating Women In Healthcare, by giving visitors the opportunity to nominate and shine the spotlight on exceptional women who inspire us all."

Medelita clinician scrub sets and lab coats, as well as an innovative line of nursing scrubs, are currently available online at http://www. medelita. com (http://www. medelita. com), and can be ordered by phone at (877) 987-7979. Group sales and custom embroidery are also available.

About Medelita

Medelita has one purpose: to reinvent the way women of all healthcare professions present themselves at work by offering the highest quality, best fitting, and most comfortable medical apparel available. Medelita caters to professional women who want their uniforms to embody the poise and confidence already displayed from within.
