Treating Equine Gastric Ulcer via Medications from Equine Pharmaceuticals

Many equine pharmaceuticals offer different sorts of horse medication for treating equine gastric ulcer. It gets confusing, that you simply can’t decide on what kind of medication you would like to buy for your horse.

Ask yourself, what type of medication is really needed for my horse right now?

First off, you should read what the medication is for. All horse medicine packages bought from equine pharmaceuticals contain the indications for that specific medicine. Some prescribed drugs are used for reducing acid production; some are for buffering the acid created by the stomach and some are used to protect the abdominal lining from acidity.

Here are some effective horse medications:

Cimetidine and Ranitidine are medications that block histamine which stimulates the production of acid.
Antacids buffer the stomach acid. They are usually administered many times during the day and may not be as effective.
Proton Pump Inhibitors are medications that slow down stomach acid production. Omeprazole is an example.
Sucralfate will protect the abdominal lining from acids but may not be as useful in the esophageal stomach region.

Additionally, here are some horse management methods which are also necessary in treating gastric ulcer:

Adding the roughage amount within the diet
Frequent feedings. Some say putting the horse on pasture is the best alternative.
Less grain. Supplements can be used as a substitute for vitamins and minerals, while vegetable oils are useful for adding calories
Administering probiotics to assist with digestion.

Lastly, always bear in mind to follow the recommendations, the correct dosage and administration of the medicine with the equine pharmaceuticals and your veterinarian. Generally, adult horse gastric ulcers take longer to heal while foal ulcers heal faster without medication. However, if the medicine is not properly administered, it may last longer and will be a potential danger for your horse.

Kick Start a Career in IT with the New CompTIA Strata Course from Home Learning College











(PRWEB) September 13, 2009

Home Learning College, the UK’s largest provider of distance learning courses, is pleased to be one of the first providers of the new CompTIA Strata course in the UK, offering an entry-level foundation qualification for those interested in a career in ICT.

CompTIA Strata educates students as to the basic operation and management of PC’s. It has two certifications, covering the fundamentals of both PC functionality (such as setting up a workstation, installing software and virus control) and those of technology, with a focus on compatibility and maintenance.

The course is recognised by the Sector Skills Council e-skills and fulfil ITQ Level 1, meaning that existing and future employers can be reassured by the professional credibility of the qualification. Students who complete the qualification and who have been inspired by what they have learnt will be in a strong position to consider tackling subsequent CompTIA courses – such as CompTIA A and CompTIA Network – gaining a complete suite of qualifications recognised by companies such as Microsoft, Cisco and 3Com.

Matthew Poyiadgi, of CompTIA comments that, “We have had a long and highly successful relationship with Home Learning College and are delighted that they are amongst the first of our partners to offer this new course. We know that they will offer their usual level of exemplary service and support to anyone hoping to achieve the qualification.

“Home Learning College is rightly seen as a leader in the field of distance learning, and its professional, personal and creative approach means we know our courses are in safe hands.”

They are supported throughout by a personal Tutor, available at any time via phone or email, detailed course materials and the other 65,000 members of the Home Learning College Virtual learning Community.

Dave Snow, Home Learning College’s Director of Studies commented “CompTIA Strata is designed for those at the bottom of the proficiency pyramid to get them interested in a career in IT, providing them with the vital skills they will need to compete in today’s competitive jobs market. As it is ‘vendor neutral’ – meaning that it does not focus on specific applications or products – they will receive an independent introduction to ICT and get a clear picture of how to progress.

“The flexibility that being able to study for the qualification at home at their own pace fits the modular structure of CompTIA Strata perfectly.”

Stamina Flowers ? Offers Flowers Cut Fresh from the Farm…Styers Peonies and More

Stamina Flowers – Offers Flowers Cut Fresh from the Farm…Styers Peonies and More










Chadds Ford, PA (PRWEB) April 14, 2010

Stamina Flowers is pleased to announce that fresh grown flowers are now in season, and are available online for overnight delivery from http://www.staminaflowers.com. With the rapidly changing dynamic of the fast paced floral industry, Stamina Flowers identified the need to be able to offer specialty cut flowers to customers who can benefit from the efficiencies of the internet, combined with the cost effective service provided by overnight couriers.

Stamina Flowers has combined the knowledge of the global flower market with the skills of a local technology group. The outcome is an efficient responsive organization that can deliver fresh cut flowers with minimum lead time. “We strive to source varieties of flowers that will inspire designers, and give a new and competitive look to their arrangements. We do this with a commitment to supplying excellent value at all times”, says Richard Currie owner of Stamina.

The flowers are hand cut in the field while still in bud, brought to “grading stations” where they are graded, bunched and boxed. The flowers then go immediately into a refrigeration unit on site. The boxes are then shipped several times a week in refrigerated trucks, mostly to distributors in NYC and other major North East Flower Markets.

Styers Peonies is one of the established brand flowers on the site. In the early 1900s’ Peonies were found in many gardens in the USA, but not in flower shops. Botanist J. Franklin Styer, a Pennsylvania Quaker, started growing and marketing Peonies to florists in New York, thinking the gentry of the time would be interested in purchasing these Victorian beauties, commercially.

Styers Peonies can be found gracing the tables of State Diners at the White House, major social functions and weddings in major metropolitan centers, as well as some far off places like Saudi Arabia. Styers Peonies once traveled to a “Cold War” Summit Conference on Air Force one with President Reagan.

Today, Styers harvests Peonies on a 60 acre farm in the town of Seneca, plus three (3) locations in Chester County Pennsylvania, including Kennett Square, West Grove and Upper Oxford Township and Federalsburg, Maryland.

Currie believes that the site is providing designers with quality fresh flowers, particularly at a time when the flower wholesale industry is consolidating. “We aimed to give people better quality and more focused choice than they could get elsewhere but with greater confidence resulting from a selection of premier growers,” he says. “As they get more confident, they’re prepared to buy more.” Stamina Flowers is positively blooming.

About Stamina Flowers:

Founded in 1988, Stamina has forged solid relationships with growers in the United States. One such relationship provides the company with a significant presence in the Peony market. As an importer, Stamina also has built strong associations with companies throughout the world.

Stamina is strategically located in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, 3.5 hours south of New York’s JFK airport and 2.5 hours north of Washington, D.C. Transport between JFK, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. is refrigerated to ensure product quality and freshness. http://www.staminaflowers.com

Free Web Conferencing Service from Powwownow

Free Web Conferencing Service from Powwownow










(PRWEB) May 27, 2005

Powwownow, the voice conferencing service, has today launched a free web conferencing facility, Share, as an enhancement service. Share allows people to share documents in real time over the internet. Users can upload presentations in a matter of seconds and share these via a web page with colleagues and customers across the globe. By using Share alongside the Powwownow voice conferencing service, users can effectively collaborate on documents and run presentations. Prior to the launch of this service users could be looking at paying upwards of £90 per hour for a voice conference that included web conferencing.

Web conferencing offers a viable alternative to face-to-face presentations and meetings as the meeting leader can control what slide is viewed and when by participants. Participants cannot skip ahead and view later slides or get confused by looking at the wrong slide at the wrong time. The service is also highly beneficial to those working in industries where lengthy documents need to be discussed, such as the legal sector.

“The reason we have decided not to charge for Share is that we believe that this service will fuel the growth of the Powwownow conference calling service as a more productive alternative to face-to-face meetings,” said Andrew Pearce, director, Powwownow. “Managing a meeting over the phone using Share means that the chair of the meeting can ensure that all participants have the relevant documents they need and are looking at the right page at the right time. With no booking required, meetings can be called immediately and all participants can attend wherever they are located in the world as long as they have access to a phone and the internet.”

Users choose a PIN for Powwownow and the same one is used for Share. Participants can join the call and view the presentation by following the simple steps on the Powwownow website.

“Web conferencing is really effective but up until now it was prohibitively priced. We could only really use it when it was absolutely necessary before,” said Oliver Thompson, Managing Director, Transphorm Ltd. “With Share we are able to use web conferencing as often as we like without worrying about cost. It’s such a benefit to be able to see presentations in real time without having to arrange costly face to face meetings. The calls are easy to set up and the presenter is completely in control of the pace and content of the conference and calls are much more productive.”

Secure Microsoft technology ensures that PowerPoint files uploaded to the Powwownow servers are stored in an area accessible only by the designated PIN. Files can also be deleted immediately.

“The voice conferencing marketing is growing at about 40 per cent a year and it’s important to be able to offer a cutting edge, easy and accessible service,” continues Pearce. “Share enables our users to benefit from web conferencing without having to pay way over the odds.”

About Powwownow:

Powwownow is the UK’s fastest growing conference call provider. PowWowNow offers customers simple and low cost conference calling. All callers in a conference dial the same phone number and are connected together by the use of a PIN. There is no service charge and all calls are charged at a national rate. This service is available 24/7 and no booking is required and there are no restrictions on call duration. The PowWowNow system is based on proven industry standard technology, with ease of use in mind. The company was started in April 2003 and is growing at more that 10% per month.

Young Adults Welcome New Wine Brand from One of Their Own

Young Adults Welcome New Wine Brand from One of Their Own










Sonoma, CA (PRWEB) August 25, 2005

The owners and upper management of most wineries are elderly businesspeople. Very often small winery owners are wine collectors who have retired from success in other industries and bought vineyards to “settle down” and “live the good life.” Is it any wonder, then, that wine is usually perceived by young adults as an old person’s luxury beverage? Whitmore Wine Co. introduces a different twist on an age-old product: quality wine fairly priced and served up without the fluff, intimidation or snobby gibberish of traditional wine brands. A launch party, planned for September, will be announced soon.

Developed to appeal to Sam Whitmore’s own generation (the 21-35 demographic), Whitmore Wine Co. celebrates the release of its first two easy-to-drink screw-cap wines: Social Commentary, a 2003 Syrah (suggested retail $ 15) and Get Lucky!, a 2004 Viognier (suggested retail $ 10). The packaging differentiates the bottles with smart and edgy labels. You won’t find any pastoral wine-speak on the back label of these wines, but rather humorous anecdotes on life from a marketing maverick intent to keep wine drinking fun.

“In today’s fast-paced world, we need to slow down and reconnect with friends, family and ourselves,” says Whitmore. “When doing so, we don’t want hollow-sounding lectures from huge conglomerates about how each grape was coddled. That’s why I started Whitmore Wine Co.; to shake off all of the silly pretence that is mistakenly attached to this great beverage.”

Make wine fun, yes, but Whitmore also has more serious goals. “I want to change how wineries do business. Ideally, I want the social Whitmore Wine drinker to have a satisfied social conscience, too.” At the core of Whitmore Wine Co. is a staunch devotion to the environment and local community. Wines are made at a certified green facility and eco-friendly decisions permeate the company, from toxin free glues, inks and papers to a biodiesel company car. Furthermore, Whitmore is donating at least $ 2.00 per case to support local charities including Mentoring Alliance, Camp Okizu, and Pets Lifeline.

“This is definitely a grass roots brand and we intend to stay that way,” says Whitmore. “Maybe I can’t change the world but changing the social attitudes around wines and business practices within the wine industry would be a step in the right direction. My generation knows how to vote with their pocketbook and I hope wine lovers of all ages will join our revolution. Please ask for Whitmore Wine Co. wines at unpretentious stores and restaurants near you!”

Whitmore Wine Co. is a négociant wine company founded by Sam Whitmore of Sonoma, CA in 2004. Committed to sustainability, WWC strives to be an environment and community-friendly business.

Hilton Hotels Corporation Expects Record $2.5 Billion in Revenue from Website Bookings in 2006

Hilton Hotels Corporation Expects Record $ 2.5 Billion in Revenue from Website Bookings in 2006











(PRWEB) November 3, 2006

Hilton Hotels Corporation expects more than $ 2.5 billion in revenues generated from bookings on its proprietary websites for the full-year 2006 compared to $ 709 million five years ago, in 2002. Bookings through its websites have increased at a steady 30 percent year over year since 2002, and accelerated to a 39 percent increase in the third quarter of 2006 versus the third quarter of 2005. This represents a 60 percent increase in revenues and a 43 percent increase in room nights for third quarter 2006 vs. prior year, according to the company.

It further shared that website bookings currently represent 17.2 percent of the company’s overall distribution of bookings, compared with 9.1 percent in 2002, making it the most dominant central delivery channel for the company. In contrast, contribution of third-party online agencies has remained flat at three percent of reservations, and now represents just 15 percent of the company’s Internet business.

Websites contributing to the record-breaking increases in bookings include: http://www.hilton.com, http://www.doubletree.com, http://www.embassysuites.com, http://www.hamptoninn.com, http://www.hiltongardeninn.com and http://www.homewoodsuites.com.

Acknowledging that company’s brand site bookings have increased at a staggering pace since 2002, Tom Keltner, president – brand performance and development group, Hilton Hotels Corporation said, “With its acquisition of the lodging assets of Hilton Group plc and a growing international presence, website bookings outside of North America represent the next frontier for significant growth, where we are in the process of implementing our successful online distribution strategy and enhanced features.”

Bala Subramanian, senior vice president – distribution and brand integration for Hilton Hotels Corporation referred to Hilton Family of Hotels making numerous enhancements to its websites. “From a business standpoint, these enhancements will enable our company to continue increasing the percentage of website bookings across all of its brands. Already, our Hilton Family of Hotels websites collectively rank among some of the largest revenue-generating commercial/retail sites in the world, excluding those that generate advertising revenue,” said Subramanian.

The following online booking features have been introduced or enhanced within the past 18 months:

e-Events is an industry first small group product that enables customers to go online and book anywhere from five to 25 Guest Rooms at any Hilton Family hotel.

Calendaring is another first in the hotel industry, which enables customers with flexible travel dates to view at-a-glance a single hotel’s best available rates and discounted advance purchase rates for their preferred length of stay across a 31-day span, and mix and match options that work best for their schedule.

Compare/Travel Cart features allow customers the option to compare hotels side by side, without the hassle of jumping from one page to the other, and the ability to store hotels in a “shopping cart” for future access.

eCheck-in allows Gold and Diamond Hilton HHonors members the convenience of checking in on the web from two to 36 hours prior to their arrival regardless of method of reservation.

Travel Agent Portal where any travel agent planning a trip can easily find all the hotel information they need including images/virtual tours, access the full-array of available Hilton Family products, as well as other convenient resources and agent services.

Weddings Portal offers an easy and uniquely tailored experience for wedding planners and their guests, available on each of the Hilton Family of Hotels Websites.

A Phoenix Rises From the Ashes: New Orleans Based Business Man Set to Launch Revolutionary Positive New Housing Concept

A Phoenix Rises From the Ashes: New Orleans Based Business Man Set to Launch Revolutionary Positive New Housing Concept











New Orleans, LA (PRWEB) December 28, 2006

With figures for sales of existing homes declining for the sixth straight month and prices continuing to drop, so called ‘bubbles’ are bursting across the nation. Homebuyers are finally in a position to shop for their dream house. With their newfound power, these homebuyers are taking their time and calculating a wider range of options than they have had in years. Combine this with eager to please developers erecting more innovative and appealing new homes and you’ve got a situation primed for true advances in the housing market.

One of the most dramatic new entrants to the market is Jeriko House, a unique combination of top-flight construction and high-end design made possible by cutting edge technology and innovative engineering. The heart behind Jeriko House is Shawn Burst, a successful Louisiana businessman who’s vision for a better way to build and a better way to live created and guides Jeriko House. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the focus on new concept in housing has never been greater.

Mr. Burst expects a tremendous response from not only buyers, but also market watcher in the real estate and construction sectors. “I’ve found that keeping your eye on what’s possible is the key to finding solutions and making them available when their needed most. Homebuyers know all too well what’s been out there for them to choose from for the past fifty years. The Jeriko House is the advance notice of a revolutionary approach that will set the pace for residential design for the next fifty years to come,” he says.

Using advanced aerospace aluminum, stainless steel, and a patented interlocking system that maximizes modern engineering and construction methods, the Jeriko House combines super-strong materials and rigid construction methods with unparalleled design flexibility. Construction is completed in a matter of weeks, rather than the months it takes to build a traditional “stick built” house. But make no mistake — this is not the pre-fab house of past attempts that you may be familiar with. Due to the international design and engineering team, Jeriko House out looks, out feels, and out performs any home here to for, pre-fab or otherwise.

Burst feels that homebuyers are taking their time in the current market because they are tired of repeatedly seeing the same house. “The Jeriko House will reach out to those who want this most important purchase of their lives to be the home they’ve dreamed of living in. The Jeriko house doesn’t look like any house you’ve ever seen. It isn’t build like any house you’ve ever seen. And it doesn’t feel like any house you’ve ever been in.” he says that, in a sense, the Jeriko House is “created” rather than built. “The Jeriko House is a home that will engage you, in ways far surpassing the experience of those who simply own their houses.”

Burst’s company is preparing for the launch of the Jeriko House within the next few months. It promises to be somewhat revolutionary in design, function, and perhaps most importantly, accessibility. It would seem that homebuyers will soon get the superior product they have been asking for.
