Green Acre Organics

Brooksville, Florida (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

Today’s health conscious consumers hunger for good, clean, locally grown food. On April 21 – 24, and April 26 – 29, Green Acre Organics, in partnership with The Aquaponic Source and Practical Aquaponics, will offer a comprehensive aquaponic farming course titled “Green Acre Farming – The Complete Course”. This course, taught in Brooksville, Florida, will teach entrepreneur farmers how to meet those needs through both classroom and hands-on instruction.

Aquaponics is a growing technique that combines the best of aquaculture with the best of hydroponics to grow plants and fish together in a symbiotic, highly-productive, very low-water consuming eco-system. In this course participants will learn the methods, understand the science, discover the business and become a part of the aquaponic farming movement that could be the key to re-localizing sustainable food production in the U.S. The course is designed to teach participants everything they need to know in order to run their own successful aquaponic farm.

The course will be taught by an unmatched team of aquaponics experts, anchored by Gina Cavaliero and Tonya Penick, the partnership that runs the highly successful Green Acre Organics aquaponics farm. They will be joined by Australian Murray Hallam of Practical Aquaponics who is best known for his popular aquaponics video series, and Sylvia Bernstein of The Aquaponic Source, who recently released the book “Aquaponic Gardening: A Step by Step Guide to Growing Fish and Vegetables Together.” There is an optional bonus session scheduled between the two main sessions that will cover “Sustainable Greenhouse Design and Saving and Adapting Seeds”.

The course is designed to be a logical progression that builds on itself over four days. Morning sessions will be held classroom style in a very comfortable, local community center. Each morning session will start with an aquaponically focused set of lessons, followed by a set of business lessons. Afternoon sessions are hands-on and will be at the Green Acre Organics farm. They will be broken out into smaller groups so that all students get front row, hands on time with their instructors. Each group will rotate through all of the course segments. Instructor Murray Hallam has this to say about the course, “Our approach is that Aquaponics is a balanced ecosystem…. through a family farm. Ordinary people can do it. You do not need a million dollars, or highly mechanized components to grow your own food for yourself and your community.”

This course is distinctive not only for its hands-on approach but also because it offers unique business and marketing training that will include discussions on website design, search engine optimization, and leveraging social media to enhance farm produce sales. Instructor Sylvia Bernstein has this to say about the business approach, “We provide the whole package. This is an all inclusive aquaponic course. The hands-on and the how-to coupled with business management essentials make this the only training anyone will need to start their own aquaponics farm.”

Bellaire, MI (PRWEB) September 25, 2007

Antioxidant-rich fruit is abundant during the warm summer months, however with cooler fall weather approaching, finding fresh fruit is becoming more difficult. Until recently, one remedy for those looking to enjoy the antioxidant-rich benefits of fruit during the fall and winter months was to wait until the spring harvest. However, the wait is now over.

Fruit Advantage, a Michigan-based company, has solved this seasonal fruit dilemma and now offers a complete line of fruit-based supplements so you can enjoy the natural, antioxidant health benefits of fruit year round.

Studies show that fruit contains many natural health benefits. Due to advances in food technology, we are only just beginning to discover the many health secrets Mother Nature has placed in simple everyday fruit. In fact, in early 2005, the U.S.D.A. revealed the updated version of the food pyramid that suggests five to nine daily servings of fruit and vegetables.

So why is fruit becoming first choice for those wanting to enjoy and active and healthy lifestyle? The answer is simple. Fruit is a great-tasting, antioxidant-rich food that offers unique health benefits specific to the underlying fruit. For example, tart cherries can help maintain healthy joints*; wild blueberries can help support brain function*; while pomegranates can assist in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system*. All of these health benefits and more are available in the Fruit Advantage line of fruit-based supplements.

Fruit Advantage offers 5 proprietary fruit-based formulas, each offering the synergistic and natural health benefits of the underlying fruit. In fact, Fruit Advantage Tart Cherry delivers 1200mg of tart cherry in each daily serving to assist with maintaining healthy joint function*. This equals the specific antioxidant value of over 5 glasses of tart cherry juice without the sugar.

The company also offers the following fruit-supplement formulas: Fruit Advantage Pomegranate, Fruit Advantage Wild Blueberry, Fruit Advantage Cranberry and Fruit Advantage Cherry Prime. Each formula is made using the skin and pulp of the underlying fruit, laboratory tested, has a certificate of analysis and tested for heavy metals.

According the Andy LaPointe, Director of Marketing with Fruit Advantage, “today’s active and hectic lifestyles, combined with the seasonality of fruit, may inhibit individuals the ability the fully enjoy fresh fruit on a daily basis, however, Fruit Advantage offers an excellent way of supplementing your daily intake of fruit-based antioxidants.”

In addition, to the Fruit Advantage fruit-based supplements, the company also offers Montmorency tart cherry juice concentrate and a complete line of dried fruit including dried tart cherries and wild blueberries.

Federal Way, Wash. (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

Weyerhaeuser introduces another innovation to its popular Trus Joist® TJI® joist line—Flak Jacket™ protection. Flak Jacket protection includes a specialty coating the company applies to TJI joists to enhance their fire resistance. This new TJI joist option provides builders with a simple, cost-effective way to achieve one-hour floor/ceiling assemblies and to comply with the new 2012 IRC fire protection requirements. The product is durable and does not require special tools or training to use—builders can cut and drill the joists as usual, and use standard hangers for quick and smooth installation. http://www.woodbywy.com

In multi-family buildings, TJI joists with Flak Jacket protection provide a one-hour fire-rated assembly with only a single layer of gypsum and no expensive mineral wool. The protected TJI joists also meet 2012 IRC R501.3 fire-protection requirements in single-family homes. This means, when TJI joists with Flak Jacket protection are used in unfinished basements of single-family homes, there’s no need to install gypsum or wallboard.

As with other TJI joists, Weyerhaeuser provides a limited lifetime warranty on TJI joists with Flak Jacket protection. The protected joists will be available in multiple series and depths to meet a range of load bearing requirements.

Trus Joist TJI joists are part of Weyerhaeuser’s full range of products and services for quality floor systems. Other industry-leading floor products include Trus Joist TimberStrand® LSL rim board, Trus Joist Parallam® PSL beams, Weyerhaeuser Framer Series® Lumber and Weyerhaeuser Edge Gold™ floor panels. The company’s TJ® Pro Rating System provides building professionals with an accurate way to predict floor performance before starting construction. Designers and builders can use the ratings to analyze multiple options for joist size, spacing, and span, along with floor panel thickness to choose a floor system configuration that best meets the homeowner’s needs and budget.

Weyerhaeuser, one of the world’s largest forest products companies, began operations in 1900. Our wood products business offers leading structural frame materials, software and technical support for residential, multi-family, and light commercial under the Weyerhaeuser and Trus Joist® brand names, and is one of the largest building products distributors in the U.S. We manage our timberlands on a sustainable basis in compliance with internationally recognized forestry standards, and all of the structural wood products we make are SFI® certified.

A real solution to pollution

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

PURETI Inc., an American-based manufacturer of air-purifying, photocatalytic surface treatments, has won Popular Science 2011 “Best of What’s New” in Green Tech. PURETI’s light-activated, water and titanium dioxide based solutions are spray applied to building materials and infrastructure to create self-cleaning and smog-killing surfaces.

Each year, Popular Science reviews thousands of new products and innovations to select the top 100 winners across 11 categories for inclusion in its annual “Best of What’s New” issue. To win, a product or technology must represent a significant step forward in its category. The broad range of environmental and health-enhancing benefits of PURETI was a critical factor in winning the Popular Science Award.

The “magic” behind PURETI’s power is titanium dioxide (Ti02), an earth mineral that is typically used in cosmetics and sunscreen but can also act as a catalyst, in the presence of light, to break down grime and pollution including greenhouse gases, smog-forming NOx and VOCs. This photocatalytic ability to remove pollutants is what has made PURETI an increasingly popular choice for high-performance building projects.

Additional Benefits:

•Air Purification – Actively reduces levels of smog when applied to outdoor surfaces such as roads and building. Creates a ‘healthy’ home environment when applied to the interiors of buildings and homes

•Energy Savings – By naturally oxidizing the air of heat trapping gases, PURETI keeps the treated surface cooler

•Money Savings –Cuts the need for cleaning by >50% and reduces the use of water, chemicals and labor

•Architectural Preservation – Keeps surfaces free of grime and mold

•Green Jobs in America- With its manufacturing plant in Michigan and an ever expanding sales force, PURETI is a putting Americans back to work

“For 24 year, Popular Science has honored the innovations that surprise and amaze us – those that make a positive impact on our world today and challenge our views of what’s possible in the future.” said Mark Jannot, Editor-in-Chief, Popular Science. “The Best of What’s New” Award is the magazine’s top honor, and the 100 winners – chosen from among thousands of entrants – represent the highest level of achievement in their fields.”

Although the use of Ti02 as a catalyst to break down air pollution and create self-cleaning surfaces is not a new technology, PURETI’s researchers have spent 10 years developing and perfecting the worlds most advanced and versatile photocatalytic technology. What separates PURETI from other “Smog-Killing” technologies is the fact that it can be safely applied to virtually any surface–including buildings, fabric, windows, solar panels and roadways– in the manufacturing stage or in field applications. The idea that roadways can be a viable solution to pollution, the fact that buildings can act as trees, or that your curtains can become air-scrubbers has produced great excitement. PURETI is treating schools, buildings and roadways across America, with proven results and effectiveness.

“We are honored to be recognized by Popular Science as a “Best of What’s New” in Green Tech.” said Glen Finkel, president and co-founder of PURETI Inc. This award comes at a very exciting time for us and our industry. The world is recognizing the enormous benefits of “Smog-Killing” technology as a way of reversing the damage that fossil fuel burning is causing to our environment and our health. Advanced manufacturers of building materials, such as Alcoa and Italcementi, are starting to include photocatalytic materials in their products. An entire industry once virtually unknown is becoming a major player in the fight to combat climate change.”

Poor air quality caused by car exhaust, fossil fuel combustion, and commonly-used chemicals, adversely affects the health and well-being of millions of Americans. Real world and lab studies show that PURETI can significantly reduce air pollution by >50% when applied to roadways. Current evaluations of concrete and asphalt roads treated with PURETI demonstrate that a one lane mile (approximately 60,000 sf) of treated roadways can potentially remove 1 ton of NOx annually from our atmosphere. These findings by Louisiana State University researchers will be released at the Transportation Research Board’s annual meeting in January 2012 in Washington, DC.

Internationally, PURETI presented its technology at Photocatalysis: Choose to Improve Your Air Quality, a conference hosted by Cristal Global in London on the 17th of November. This meeting convened leaders in government, academia and industry to discuss the latest innovations in photocatalytic technology and the applications that are available now to help London solve its air quality problems and achieve compliance with EU air quality standards. http://cristalactiv.tcsondemand.com/

“We all deserve the right to breathe clean air. PURETI is a real world, cost-effective solution to achieving this goal.” said Glen Finkel.

PURETI Inc. is a privately held, materials technology company headquartered in New York City and is a Dual Use NASA Technology partner.

Glendale, Ariz. (PRWEB) July 27, 2009

For years, home owners have sought the vintage good looks of solid wood ceiling beams. Ceiling Beam Concepts, LLC, of Arizona, has invented a unique method to add a dramatic flair to any ceiling without the typical cost and difficulty associated with such an upgrade.

Unlike faux ceiling beams, which are often made from polyurethane or foam, Ceiling Beam Concepts Interlocking Beams are made from 100% alder wood and are light enough to make installation quick and easy. These innovative beams, the brainchild of company founder Jake Bryant, are non-structural and can be installed during construction or retrofitted to a home after it is built. Ceiling Beam Concepts Interlocking Beams span long areas or can be fitted into small spaces. Aesthetically designed straps and clavos lend an additional design component and allow the beams to flow seamlessly throughout the home.

“Ceilings in today’s homes offer dramatic opportunities to extend the personality of the surrounding area,” said Jake Bryant of Ceiling Beam Concepts. “What goes overhead can make all the difference in how a room looks and feels. People ask me, “How realistic are your beams?’ Everyone has the same reaction when they see our wood beams for the first time. They are just amazed at how authentic the product looks.”

Solid wood ceiling beams are popular for their exotic beauty, strength and durability. In many modern structures, the weight inherent in old growth beams cannot be supported. Decorative ceiling beams by Ceiling Beam Concepts create the appearance of solid wood beams without the worry of whether the structure will support them. All beams are three sided and open ended, allowing them to be easily mounted to a ceiling’s drywall. The beams come in four-foot sections and cost a fraction of solid wood beams. You can even hide lighting, electrical and home theater wiring inside the beams.

“Decorative ceiling beams add style and sophistication to estates, homes, offices or commercial venues, without costing a lot of money,” said Steve Brechner of Ceiling Beam Concepts. “They accentuate ceilings and interiors, giving a room that warm and cozy feeling.”

Ceiling Beam Concepts products are sold at Home Depot stores throughout Arizona, and are offered as an upgrade by Pulte Homes.

Allentown, Pa. (PRWEB) February 6, 2009

For businesses that need additional storage fast and economically or have outgrown their existing internal space, Stanley Vidmar now offers the Outdoor Store.

Developed in partnership with Ban-Air(TM) Storage Systems, the Outdoor Store is a fully steel-clad warehouse built around heavy-duty adjustable racking. It provides a secure, weatherproof structure that is more versatile and lasts longer than other semi-permanent storage structures.

The Outdoor Store boasts numerous features including the appearance of a regular warehouse both internally and externally, the capacity for relocation, and the ability to be situated on varying floor conditions with no need for separate foundations.

Additionally, the Outdoor Store is designed to accommodate the Stanley® Vidmar® STAK System®, a handling solution that enables one operator to efficiently manage loads weighing up to 4,000 lbs. in less than 250 square feet.

“The Outdoor Store allows a range of industries to create a semi-permanent warehouse solution from wasted spare yard space with the benefits of great flexibility and outstanding longevity,” said Jim Cannon, president and general manager of Stanley Engineered Storage Solutions, which oversees operations of Stanley Vidmar. “It’s a fast and affordable option when deadlines and budgets are limited.”

The Outdoor Store can be configured to accommodate a range of different-sized products, including the storage of heavy, bulky, or awkward-sized items. The design takes advantage of natural light and can be fitted with solar panels for lighting and power charging within the structure. The Outdoor Store is enclosed either fully or partially and can be fitted with roller shutter doors for higher security.

Those interested in obtaining further information about the Outdoor Store can contact a Stanley Vidmar Storage Sales Engineer at 800-523-9462 or VidmarOutdoorStore.com.

Some cabins are just minutes from Great Smoky Mountain National Park and feature perks such as fireplaces, outdoor hot tubs with spectacular mountain views, king-size beds and gourmet kitchens, making them an ideal place for romantic getaways.

Visitors can go to http://www.bobzio.com and contact cabin owners directly to arrange that special Valentine’s Getaway. Cabin owners are invited to start a free listing on bobzio.com. The free listing offer is good to the first 20,000 new members. After this there will be a one time fee of $ 1000 but this will be good for a lifetime. Here is a link to a video showing how easy the signup process is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOwKNH0c7Gg

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 25, 2008

Action Donation Services® (ADS) has announced that they will be processing car, boat and other property donations to benefit the Fresh Start Surgical Gifts program. Fresh Start is a 501 (c) 3 charity based in Carlsbad, California that provides free reconstructive surgery, laser treatments, speech therapy and dental procedures for disadvantaged children and young adults with physical deformities. Children are brought to the surgery center in San Diego from elsewhere in the United States and foreign countries where they can receive the finest reconstructive and medical attention.

“We are thrilled to be able to assist an organization committed to seeing that every child with a physical deformity is given the opportunity to have a positive self-image.”, said ADS Client Charity Director, Ted Cox. “When you donate a car, boat, used RV, or other property to Fresh Start, you will be helping a program that provides life changing services for children and young adults – and you can be sure that we will do everything reasonably possible to maximize the value of the donation.”

“We selected Action Donation Services to handle our car, boat and RV donations after considerable due diligence … and believe that their services which are designed to maximize the selling price of donations will benefit our donors with the highest possible legal tax deductions and will result in increased income to benefit our Fresh Start program” said Director of Development, Stephanie Alband.

Among the unique services provided to Fresh Start by Action Donation Services® is the possibility of a “partial cash payment” to donors when requested. Partial Cash Payments may be possible for certain qualified property (usually higher valued autos, boats, aircraft and/or RV’s) as an incentive to donate the property. This program allows donors to receive some cash and also to claim the maximum legal tax deduction (usually the difference between the cash received and the gross selling price of the donation).

Action Donation Services® has been processing donations nationwide for over seven years and has its home office in San Diego, California. ADS will pickup qualified donations throughout the U.S.A. free of charge to the donor to benefit Fresh Start.
