AUSTIN, TX (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

Boundless Network (http://www.boundlessnetwork.com), today announced that a patent has been issued for their unique GroupBuy solution. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued Patent 8,065,192 relating to systems and methods to leverage organizational spending to realize cost savings on branded products across multiple buyers and entities.

Boundless Network’s GroupBuy solution enables multiple buyers within a single organization and buyers across different organizations to purchase products together while still allowing them to be independently branded. This creates the ability to leverage the collective buying power of an entire network of other buyers and realize cost savings, process improvements, and assurance of brand integrity.

“Our GroupBuy application delivers unprecedented cost savings opportunities for our customers globally,” says Henrik Johansson, President of Boundless Network and co-author of the patent. “Decentralized organizations with multiple locations can now leverage the collective buying power of the entire organization seamlessly, and smaller organizations can piggy-back on the purchases of larger companies to get the cost advantage that are traditionally reserved for Fortune 500 companies.”

Over the last six years, Boundless Network has been a leader in the promotional products industry with a significant focus on adding value to customers through technology. With this patent, Boundless becomes the only promotional products distributor with a patented group buying platform.

“In today’s economy, where saving money is a priority within all organizations, the GroupBuy solution is resonating with my customers,” says Amber George, Regional Director of Boundless Network’s Dallas office. “Procurement managers are seeing this as a more efficient business process than the traditional approach to purchasing logoed merchandise.”

About Boundless

Boundless Network is the fastest growing, venture-backed promotional product distributorships in the U.S. The company reached the ASI Distributor Top 40 list in its fourth year of operation, where it outpaced the average annual growth of the other ranked distributors by more than 50 percent. Last August, Inc. magazine recognized Boundless Network on its Inc. 500 | 5000 list, as one of the fastest-growing company in the “Business Products & Services” category.

Bath (PRWEB UK) 17 February 2012

Many online lenders are continually increasing the speed with which payday loans are deposited into the borrower’s account. Now, with the average time between loan approval and money handed out down to half an hour, Online Payday Loans is offering a word of caution.

‘Plenty of advice exists about keeping on top of your loans and repayments,’ explains payday loans expert Steven Sutton. ‘Now instant payday loans are basically living up to their name. Imagine the temptation of knowing that £1000 can be in your account before the hour is out.’

However, the caution is still firm. ‘Remember the steps. Firstly make sure you absolutely need your loan. Secondly visit Online Payday Loans for help on finding the right lender. Thirdly borrow nothing more than necessary, and finally make sure every last sentence of your agreement is read and thoroughly understood. This will ensure you know what you’re paying back and when.’ Mr Sutton continues. ‘The loan may be instant, but you don’t have to be.’

Online Payday Loans is owned and run by Attinger Jack Interactive.

Lausanne, Switzerland (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

The paper presents the development and evaluation of a novel computer tool that allows individual reconstruction and simulation of 3-dimensional (3D) soft tissue from ordinary digital photos of breasts.

The e-Stetix 3D consultation tool introduced in this paper features a web-based, worldwide-accessible preoperative surgical planning platform for plastic surgeons, and is evaluated through a quality control analysis by comparing 3D laser scans of patients with the 3D reconstructions obtained with e-Stetix from original 2-dimensional (2D) pictures of the same patients.

Results from quantitative and qualitative evaluations from plastic surgeons demonstrate the potential of this new emerging technology and consolidate the scientific validity of the e-Stetix web-based system, as a viable alternative to existing ‘3D scanner’ technologies.

(PRWEB) February 10, 2012

A recent five-year study predicts a growth rate of 10 to 20 percent for water-related occupations, so now is the perfect time to train for a career in the industry.

San Diego State University’s College of Extended Studies has jumped to the forefront by providing the groundwork for a water industry career through its new Professional Certificate in Water Management and Landscape Sustainability program that begins March 19.

“This area is going to grow. Offering this type of certificate is going to be very important to our job market,” said Mayor Ron Morrison of National City, Calif., who sits on several local water authority associations.

The certificate program’s target audience includes professionals wanting to get into a new, fast-growing career, energy managers and assistants, architects, landscape consultants, construction workers and builders, wastewater and recycling water administrators, operations workers, and maintenance workers. Also, city regulators, city planners, organic farming and agriculture employees, recycling organizations, landscapers, consultants, planners and commissioners, and anyone interested in developing best practices in water and conservation.

“San Diego is at the end of the water pipeline. Across the nation, the East Coast has had a hard time holding onto its abundant water supply. The West Coast is arid and has limited water resources,” said Wendy Evers, senior program development director for SDSU’s College of Extended Studies. “With new areas of development including desalination, water purification plants, evolving legislation and new trends, job growth is on the rise.

Mark Weston, recently-retired general manager of the Helix Water District in La Mesa, Calif., believes the certificate program will be invaluable to the water industry.

“As a founding member of the Water Conservation Garden(at nearby Cuyamaca College), we see the effort to conserve water and re-landscape Southern California as important for a sustainable water supply. The landscaping industry has a great business opportunity ahead of them. The designs of the future will use significantly less water stretching our limited water supplies and still produce beautiful and innovative landscapes,” Weston said.

Water Management and Landscape Sustainability is the fourth green-related online certificate program offered by SDSU’s College of Extended Studies. Existing online programs include Green Building Construction, Green Energy Management, and Residential and Commercial Sustainable Practices.

For more information on each of these certificate programs, visit the website.

Why take online courses? The New York Times reports that students are continuing to turn to online education because web-based courses are often less expensive than their on-campus counterparts and give students the flexibility to pursue a degree or certificate on their own time.

“The new water management and landscape sustainability certificate gives adult learners knowledge and skill preparation for a career in the water industry,” said Evers.

In fact, the number of companies utilizing SaaShr.com’s software has increased by 77 percent in the 2011 calendar year when compared to 2010.

Fostering a collaborative relationship with its channel partners has helped SaaShr.com to identify new opportunities for many of its platform’s technological advancements in 2011. For example, the company has updated its User Interface (UI) to improve the experience for the existing user community, released a mobile application encompassing functionality across the workforce management spectrum, and most notably, created an Ancillary Product and Service Marketplace.

Center of the Month: Woodlands Body & Brain Center

Gilbert, Ariz. (PRWEB) January 24, 2012

Dahn Yoga & Health Centers, Inc., a national leader in health and wellness, is proud to announce that one of its franchises, a Texas yoga star, the Woodlands Body + Brain Center has been designated as Center of the Month for January 2012. The franchises have grown tremendously since their beginning and this studio, located 35 miles north of Houston, Texas, has been particularly adept at forging its own path of service and leadership.

Helping individuals balance their bodies and minds, center manager Maureen Godfrey may have been destined to fill the role of leader of her Dahn Yoga community. Although she spent time working as a high school dance teacher and a consultant for a Fortune 500 company, she eventually realized her life-long dream of helping others. After immersing herself in Dahn Yoga classes for four years, she opened her own BBC franchise.

“I feel very blessed with wonderful members who are very interesting people and the opportunity for me to grow through this BBC,” she said. “Any challenges bring opportunities.”

Godfrey’s gift with her students is undoubtedly a special one. In fact, one member, who was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer, approached Maureen for private lessons in order to improve her well-being and augment her medical treatments. Within four short months the novice practitioner witnessed an elevation in her physical and emotional states as well as the shrinking of her tumors. This may not be a typical story of health recovery at Woodlands, but it is a prime example of how people of various backgrounds and ability levels find an outlet for self-healing.

Going forward, Maureen explains that she wants to continue to help others understand the many Dahn Yoga benefits and expand her classes to hospitals and colleges in the area.

About Dahn Yoga:

Dahn Yoga is a dynamic mind-body practice originating in Korea. Dahn Yoga classes combine stretching, flowing movement, deep breathing exercises and meditation in a simple and easy to learn format. Dahn Yoga is often taught alongside Tai Chi, QiGong and Meditation classes.

In the United States, Dahn Yoga classes are offered at Dahn Yoga & Health Centers, Inc., a national leader in health and wellness. Dahn Yoga classes are also offered at Body & Brain franchise, affiliate and community-based locations.
