We don?t do the low end.? said Tani Kampakum, E-Commerce Director of ZGO. ? It?s about knowing that the fragrances are selected from natural ingredients- essential oils derived from a wide range of carefully selected botanicals. That?s what our customers are looking for- essences that are based on nature?s sources- not synthetically derived.?

Room diffusers are gaining popularity throughout the country as an elegant aromatic room perfume. They are fashioned from the traditions of old Europe perfumeries instead of the artificial odors offered in supermarket aerosol cans. Room diffusers typically are based on natural botanical essential oils and combined with a liquid medium to disperse the fragrances through natural plant reeds.

Dr. Vranjes diffusers are formulated by Dr. Paolo Vranjes creating all of his fragrances at his laboratory and showroom, Antica Officina del Farmacista, founded in 1983 in Florence, Italy. He uses local Florentine plants and flowers in all his 27 scents, as well as rare and exotic essences from around the world. Dr. Vrajnes is a ?nose;? a perfumer of renowned skill for identifying, blending, and creating scents, comparable to a musician with perfect pitch. Diffuser bottles are made of a combination of crystal and glass, giving them a clearer, crisper appearance than pure glass. The Duomo bottle is modeled after the famous Florentine cathedral.

Linari has made it their mission to create fragrances that can create an atmosphere to positively affect our moods and our impressions. Born from a deep understanding, LINARI have made it their mission to combine high quality room fragrances with timeless modern designs. LINARI, synonymous with all that is pure and elegant, have created the perfect symbiosis between fragrance and design. ZGO is proud to carry seven appealing Linari fragrance candles and diffusers.

For looks, there are the apothecary bottles that the fragrance comes in. They are guaranteed to add vintage charm to even the most drab of spaces. For the smells, there are the fragrances within the bottle. Some are floral, while others consist of fruit or spices. Either way, the scents can be controlled with white birch reeds, which give Antica Farmacista an even classier touch.

Additionally, ZGO is also proud to present the newest collection for the growing fans of Voluspa Candles- The Maison D?Or Collection. This newest creation from Voluspa is inspired from the luxury of gold- combining an exquisite packaging in black and gold classic patterns, with the deep and satisfying fragrances based on the finest essential oil perfume blends.

Cold Fire? Ignites Massive Change in Home Fire Extinguisher Market During Fire Safety Week

Vancouver, British Columbia (PRWEB) October 06, 2011

Fire Safety Week 2011 sees the revolutionary anti-combustible Cold Fire? make its journey from predominantly government and industrial use to availability for domestic use as well. Front line Tested by NASCAR racing teams and firefighters around the globe, Cold Fire?s natural fire suppressants and retardants are now available to the public for use in their own homes.

Grant Pearson, exclusive Canadian distributor for Cold Fire? believes in the product so much that he regularly plays with fire. Today he is standing in the middle of a group of police officers, military personnel and firefighters showing the Cold Fire? range of suppressants and retardants. In his hand he holds a facecloth which contains a mix of magnesium and titanium pellets. When ignited with a blow torch flames leap out and this mix burns at a scorching, white hot, 5,000 degrees. Unbelievably the metals are spewing out flame but the cloth and more importantly his hands are not burned, he is still holding on to it. When he drops the flaming cloth to the ground and sprays it with Cold Fire? the flame is immediately extinguished. Then he steps the fiery demo up a notch and sprays the Cold Fire? on his arm and puts a blow torch to it ? he doesn?t wince, shows no sign of pain and his arm is un-burnt.

?That?s why this product is so popular with NASCAR,? explains Grant. Cold Fire? puts out both hydrocarbon (gas, diesel, crude) and polar solvent (ethanol, methanol) fires. ?In the case of a methanol fire, which can burn without a visible flame, you can spray both the car and driver as a precaution; Cold Fire is non-toxic to the driver, and non-corrosive to the car.?

Incredibly at the heart of this revolutionary product is Mother Nature. ?It was noticed that certain plant life has the ability to withstand significantly high degrees of temperature. It is the saps in those plants that have the ability to reduce the intensity of the heat and protect the cellulose structure,? says Grant.

A Canadian Police veteran with 18 years experience, Grant says that traditional fire extinguishing methods just don?t cut it. ?Dry chemical extinguishers are pretty ineffective,? he says. ?In my years in law enforcement I have attended many infernos where I know this product could have made a huge difference in saving lives and property and that is why I am so passionate about it.? He?s not the only one! Police departments both in Canada and the US now use Cold Fire to protect themselves and are making it standard issue in Patrol Cars.

Cold Fire has been around for a few years and has been transforming the way firefighters combat fires, but until now the general public has not really had a glimpse at what this ground-breaking product can do for them right in their own homes or cars. ?It?s about to change the way the public view fire extinguishers and fire prevention,? says Grant. Cold Fire?s retardant can protect pretty well every area of your home and it lasts indefinitely between washes. ?So if you spray it on your carpet or curtains they are fire safe until the next time you wash them, if you mix it in the paint for the outside of your house it would be protected by the paint sealant and would significantly reduce the impact of any fire. Spray it on a wooden bunk bed and it is protected.?

There is not a blaze that Cold Fire? suppressant cannot put out, and it extinguishes so much faster and more effectively than any other method on the market. Cold Fire neutralizes hydrocarbon particles, drastically cutting the smoke damage and danger that accompany a fire. ?The smoke turns from black to white; so you can see better through the smoke. What's more, it is non-toxic. As a plant based substance, if you or your kids accidentally swallow some, breath its fumes or spray it in your eyes, it won't hurt you,? explains Grant. ?A big plus for its use around the home is that it is non-staining, leaves no residue and is not a slipping hazard.?

Grant advises that: ?During Fire Safety week we are sponsoring product to fire departments across the country so that the public can get a good look at it.? To further reinforce the in home fire safety message Cold Fire? has teamed up with Child edutainment site http://www.Cackleberries.com to sponsor fire safety messages for children between the ages of 3-7.

?This is the future of fire prevention and safety in the home and its available now. We recently introduced handy 13.5 oz aerosol cans, which are a perfect size for home use,? explains Grant. ?The formula is exactly the same as that used by fire departments all around the world.? Cold Fire TM will extinguish all Class A, B, D & K fires, which include everything from grass, to fabrics, to gasoline, to magnesium and kitchen grease fires. Grant sees a future where everyone will keep a can in their vehicle, kitchen and garage. ?Don?t leave your home, without it!?

Aeroseal Awarded 2011 Best New Home Product By This Old House Magazine

East Syracuse, NY (PRWEB) October 26, 2011

Aeroseal, a breakthrough technology used for sealing leaky air ducts, was just selected as one of the year?s best new home products in This Old House magazine?s Top 100 Best New Products for 2011 awards. Chosen for its proven impact on home energy savings and comfort, Aeroseal won top honors in the competition?s ?home technology? category.

Each year, the editors of This Old House review thousands of home products and ideas that have emerged over the past twelve months and select those that they believe to be the most innovative. With the 2011 launch of a new company dedicated solely to the service and support of the aeroseal duct sealant technology, this award highlights a significant new energy savings solution now available for the first time to thousands of home owners concerned with high utility bills and sustainable living.

?I?ve been watching the development of the aeroseal technology and eagerly awaiting its general availability,? said Thomas Baker, building technology editor for This Old House magazine. ?Leaky air ducts are responsible for a huge energy loss problem in America and having the aeroseal solution made available for the first time to many home owners is very exciting to see.?

Developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with partial funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the EPA, aeroseal duct sealant is applied as an aerosol mist that is driven throughout the interior of a home?s duct system. The mist finds the thousands of leaks that typically plague a home?s duct work and bonds to the leaks, forming a permanent seal. Studies by the EPA and others found Aeroseal to be 95 percent effective at sealing air ducts, a result that can save home owners on average $ 600 to $ 850 a year on their home heating and cooling costs.

?This Old House is one of America?s biggest and most trusted brands in home improvement and we are honored to be recognized by their expert staff,? said Neal Walsh, vice president of sales and marketing, Aeroseal LLC. ?We appreciate their help in educating home owners about a breakthrough technology that addresses a critical concern in home energy conservation.?

Aeroseal technology has won a number of other prestigious awards including the DOE Energy 100? award from the U.S. Department of Energy and The Best of What?s New award from Popular Science Magazine. The company Aeroseal LLC is focused exclusively on making the new duct sealing solution available to home owners and building owners throughout the U.S. For more information on aeroseal duct sealing or to find a local Aeroseal service provider visit http://www.aeroseal.com or call (877) 349-3828.

NAEBA: Still Time to Claim Up to an $8,000 US Tax Credit for Home Purchases

Avondale, AZ (PRWEB) March 5, 2010

Homebuyer tax credits of up to $ 8,000 established in 2009 federal legislation are set to expire at the end of April, but there is still time for new home buyers and even existing home owners to take advantage of these substantial incentives to purchase a home, advises the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (NAEBA).

New home buyers can qualify for as much as an $ 8,000 federal tax credit, and existing home buyers can claim up to $ 6,500 off their US income tax bill, for purchasing a new or existing home as a principal residence anywhere in the United States providing they have a binding sales contract on or before April 30, 2010 with the closing completed by June 30, 2010. And NAEBA stresses that these are tax credits, not simply tax deductions, so taxpayers may reduce the amount of tax they owe dollar-for-dollar for the qualifying tax year.

There are also special rules in the legislation for U.S. military personnel, members of the Foreign Service, and employees of the intelligence community, giving a one-year extension of these dates for those service members ordered on a period of official extended duty. A ?qualified service member? may enjoy the tax credit for a binding home purchase contract completed before April 30, 2011, with a sale closing before June 30, 2011.

NAEBA is a pioneering nationwide association of real estate agents who exclusively represent the needs and goals of buyers in home purchasing transactions. Using an exclusive ?Buyers Bill of Rights,? NAEBA agents by contract remove the traditional conflict of interest inherent in most residential real estate transactions where the agents on both sides of a purchase are obligated to the sellers.

The home buying tax credits were created in last year with the enactment of The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009. Both first-time homebuyers and move-up/repeat homeowners may qualify for the tax credits if their individual income does not exceed $ 125,000, or is no more than $ 225,000 for married couples filing joint returns. There are proportionally reduced tax credit amounts for people exceeding these income levels. The tax credit is equal to 10% of the home?s purchase price up to a maximum of $ 8,000 for first-time homebuyers, and 10% of the home?s purchase price up to $ 6,500 for repeat buyers.

A ?first-time buyer? in defined in the legislation is defined as someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to purchase. If the home is sold or the purchaser ceases to use the home as a principal residence within three years of the initial purchase, the tax credit must be repaid.

For repeat home buyers to qualify for the tax credit, they must have owned and lived in their previous home for five consecutive years out of the last eight years, and the three-year ownership and occupation provision to avoid repayment of the credit also applies.

In all cases, the homes in question must have a purchase price of $ 800,000 or less, and they cannot be purchased from or among other family members, including spouses, parents, grandparents, children or grandchildren.????

The home buying tax credit may be claimed for the purchase of any primary residence, as defined in the IRS Code for calculating the capital gain tax exclusion for principle residences, including single-family homes, new homes purchased from a homebuilder, attached homes, townhouses, condominiums, manufactured homes (mobile homes) and houseboats.

There are even provisions in the law for home purchasers using FHA-insured mortgages to ?monetize? their tax credit, by applying the anticipated credit amount toward their home purchase immediately. These funds may be used for down payments and closing cost expenses in many cases.

NAEBA officials point out that with just over two months left to qualify for the tax credit through a binding home purchase sales contract, there is still ample time to take advantage of these unique money-savings opportunities. All NAEBA agents are well schooled in the qualifications and provisions of the tax credit legislation and can assist home buyers in every aspect of qualifying for and preparing to claim their tax credits.

NAEBA was established in 1995 by real estate agents who recognized the need to establish guidelines to protect the best interests of buyers in home purchasing transactions. The association maintains a rigorous list of membership requirements, including Certified Exclusive Buyer Agent certification, ongoing education, and state-by-state knowledge bases that ensures each NAEBA agent is an expert in both national and local real estate laws, markets and practices.

For more information about NAEBA and to find a NAEBA agent locally, visit the association?s website at http://www.naeba.org, use its Find An Agent Form, or call the NAEBA Referral Service at 800-986-2322.

Biofeedback System Used to Support NASA Missions Also Teaches Optimal Breathing at Home

(PRWEB) July 17, 2011

When the space shuttle Atlantis returns from the International Space Station it will mark the end of an era for American space travel. We will all be holding our breath for its final safe landing to end a brilliant 30 year career. Reflecting on this, Lawrence Klein, Vice President and Co-Founder of Thought Technology Ltd., recalls, ?One of our company?s proudest achievements was to have its FlexComp Infiniti system chosen as the physiological monitoring equipment used in NASA?s NEEMO-9 project.?

For decades, NASA has been studying astronaut's physiological responses to zero gravity, to living in outer space and to staying in space vehicles and space stations for extended periods of time. The NEEMO-9 project involved under water research since the environment provides some useful similarities to working in space. For three days of the 22-day mission two astronauts wore the FlexComp Infiniti? system. Measurements for heart rate and electrocardiogram, respiration, skin conductance, hand temperature and finger blood volume pulse were taken to gauge the effect of isolation, workload and fatigue on the astronauts. The data collected was later studied by the research team. (To view a video about the project visit http://bit.ly/q8xxhy)

As NASA?s involvement in space and underwater research winds down, private enterprise is poised to take over. As an example of the privatization of space and underwater exploration, the next space flight may be a commercial one. Interestingly, Sir Richard Branson has just embarked on what has been referred to as mankind?s greatest diving challenge where selecting the best breathing system is crucial for survival. Breathing is life sustaining under water or in space, however here on earth with an abundant supply of oxygen many of us still do not breathe correctly. Those familiar with the use of biofeedback in controlling stress know the importance of proper breathing techniques. Thought Technology has sponsored the creation of EZ-Air Plus software distributed by the Biofeedback Foundation of Europe. Dr. Hal Myers, President of Thought Technology commented, "The EZ-Air breath pacing program helps the user master optimal breathing techniques. It's simple enough for anyone to use on their home, office or laptop computer. Similar functionality is also included in our sophisticated Biograph Infiniti software and FlexComp hardware used by NASA to add respiration pacing to clinical standards."

As this chapter in US history comes to a close, the skills learned in the NEEMO-9 project, using Psychophysiology and Biofeedback will continue to contribute to the International Space Station. Thought Technology salutes the people of NASA, their work and the mark they've made on history. NASA?s exploration has proven that Infiniti has a role to play in health and human performance at work and at home.

Thought Technology Ltd. sales are 95% Medical. Its psychophysiology is used in most VA Hospitals in the United States and it has 150 distributors in 55 countries. In addition to the medical market, the company has a strong presence in professional and elite sports. Thought Technology?s equipment has been used by a number of leading Olympic sport coaches as well as by several professional sports teams.
