    <title>Can the Power of Energy Psychology Help Reduce America's Rising Stress Levels?</title>
    <summary>The innovative technique of Energy Psychology has proven to be a useful technique in reducing stress in Americans.</summary>
    <content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;Glendale, CA (IPRWIRE) Sun. Nov. 30th, 2008 -- A November 7 Economic News Release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that employment fell by 1.2 million in the first 10 months of 2008 with over half of the decrease occurring in the past 3 months. This is happening at the start of the holidays, a time known to create elevated stress levels even in the best of times. So what can we do to help ease the mental and emotional strain, also called psychological stress, created by our present circumstances?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, several options are available that anyone can use at little or no cost. These include meditation, yoga, massage, improved time management and other simple techniques for reducing stress. Energy Psychology is another promising technique rising in popularity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;It's at times like these that the power of energy psychology can make a huge impact in people's lives&amp;quot; said Jon C Mejia, radio host and creator of the Simone Zone, a well-regarded on-line energy psychology program. &amp;quot;It's the most powerful and innovative approach to wellness I've found in over thirty years of research.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Energy Psychology is based on the premises that harmful stress levels can be reduced quickly and effectively in just minutes using the&amp;nbsp;body's energy channels, known as meridians, in combination with discoveries from the field of quantum science.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Responding to a question of energy psychology's value Mejia said, &amp;quot;Twenty years ago yoga and acupuncture were also seen as dubious, but today these techniques are universally regarded as beneficial and used by millions of people. I predict the same will happen with Energy Psychology, only far faster&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those interested in lowering their stress levels at the lowest possible price, the Mayo Foundation's advice is worth its weight in gold.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To learn more, call the company at 1-800-892-4922 or visit their website at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.simonezone.com&quot; class=&quot;snap_preview&quot;&gt;www.simonezone.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Stormy Business Climate Makes Obtaining a Liquor License More Affordable for Smaller Businesses</title>
    <summary>The recession begins to help small businesses such as restaurants with advantages such as lower priced liquor licenses.</summary>
    <content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;Glendale, CA (IPRWIRE) Sun. Nov. 30th, 2008 -- On October 9 the Wall Street Journal featured a front-page story titled &amp;quot;First Into Recession, California Shows Possible Future for U.S.&amp;quot; Yet for the California restaurant industry, a recession may prove to be a double-edged sword. &amp;quot;Bursting price bubbles aren&amp;rsquo;t always bad,&amp;quot; said Jon C Mejia, national sales manager for Amlex. &amp;quot;For many of our clients, this is an opportunity to get on a level playing field with their better funded competitors.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, in January of 2008, prior to the economic collapse, county recorder notices showed that full liquor licenses sold in Los Angeles County in the $80-90,000 range, effectively putting a liquor license out of range for many smaller operators.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, by October of this year, sellers were selling their licenses in the $45-50,000 range as concern grew that the tanking economy would mean even lower prices in the near future. That 50% drop in price means smaller businesses can again afford to compete with their better-funded competitors. So what other positive changes can our current economic climate bring to restaurant operators?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I'm anticipating seeing far more cooperation from city zoning departments,&amp;quot; said Mejia. &amp;quot;With tax revenues drying up due to the drop in real estate values, helping business owners rather than delaying their liquor license applications seems to be on the rise.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The backbone of the restaurant business traditionally has been small business operators and the price decreases are an unseen benefit in an otherwise stormy business climate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;About Amlex:&lt;br /&gt;

    <title>Company's Cubic Zirconia Realistic Enough to Be Declared Diamonds by Certified Gemologist</title>
    <summary>B in Style claims they have solved the problem of expensive jewelry for shoppers. They state that their jewelry looks just like fine jewelry, but at a fraction of the cost. With the recent launch of their website, they expect for customers to take advantage of the savings they offer.</summary>
    <content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;Glendale, CA (IPRWIRE) Wed. July 30th, 2008 -- B in Style (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.binstyle.com&quot; class=&quot;snap_preview&quot;&gt;www.binstyle.com&lt;/a&gt;) noticed a trend among jewelry companies. The prices were getting higher and higher, and the jewelry was getting out of the price range of many people. The company states that was causing people to be unable to buy the jewelry they wanted. Instead, they had to go without because their budgets did not allow for that kind of spending.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an effort to produce fashionable jewelry that more people can afford, B in Style started making cubic zirconia jewelry and selling it to the public. The company states that the jewelry looks so good that a certified gemologist thought it was made of diamonds when looking at it with the naked eye. They claim that their jewelry looks exactly like fine jewelry. The only difference is the price. In fact, the company states that no one will even know how much the wearer of their jewelry saved because of the realistic look.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B in Style says that when customers use their company to purchase their jewelry, they can buy quality silver and cubic zirconia jewelry at affordable prices. Because of this, the company says their customers can purchase many more items for less money than they would be able to at a traditional jewelry store.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company has stated that many of their customers used to be fine jewelry buyers. B in Style says they were able to convert a lot of these people because their jewelry looks so realistic. In fact, B in Style says they have become the primary jewelry outfitter for many people who used to frequent fine jewelry stores.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B in Style also says that they offer wedding and engagement rings at affordable prices. They say that the rings look real, and can save people thousands of dollars. They have an entire line of these items to offer the public. They note that all of these rings are professionally set, and not glued on like a lot of companies do.&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Just Discovered - A Simple Tool to Alleviate Depression and Anxiety On-line through the Use of Energy Psychology</title>
    <summary>Simone Zone states they have incorporated the method of energy psychology to help people get create a sense of well-being. The company claims that energy psychology has a great potential for alleviating anxiety and other psychological disorders.</summary>
    <content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;Glendale, CA (IPRWIRE) Wed, July 23rd, 2008 -- Simone Zone (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.simonezone.com&quot; class=&quot;snap_preview&quot;&gt;www.simonezone.com&lt;/a&gt;) said they became interested in alternative treatments for psychological disorders when they noticed a trend among people to seek out alternative procedures for psychological problems. The company states that people were becoming dissatisfied with traditional methods. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The company reports that over 17% of the population currently turns to Mind-Body techniques for health reasons. The company says they became very interested in this trend and, after investigating it thoroughly, created an on-line energy psychology program that anyone can use. After an extensive amount of research, the company decided that energy psychology was a viable alternative to many of the other treatments that are available today. They claim that it has worked for many of their clients, and they think it will help many more. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The company cites the well-known &amp;quot;placebo effect&amp;quot; to lend support to the effectiveness of energy psychology. Simone Zone states that the placebo effect proves that the mind and the body interact together as one integrated unit. They state that the main point of energy psychology. Is the connection of the body and the mind. That the mind can influence the body holds great promise in the area of health and wellness. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Energy psychology derives from a melding of ancient Eastern philosophies along with modern technology and techniques. The mind-body connection first came from Chinese and Indian medicine. Simone Zone says that energy psychology borrows some of the basic concepts of those beliefs and merges them with the world of today, in particular, from findings from the quirky world of quantum physics. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Co-founder of Simone Zone, Jon C. Mejia, is also a well-known author and investigator into neuroscience advances. Regarding energy psychology, Mejia states, &amp;quot;My research indicates that people are seeking alternatives and compliments for their health maintenance. And if you include other 'intention' based actions such as prayer and energy psychology, the number climbs to over 60%.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mejia has also been quoted as saying, &amp;quot;I believe that energy medicine and energy psychology have tremendous potential for alleviating anxiety disorders and that could be huge for our health care system in light of the evidence showing that stress-induced illness is on the rise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
About Simone Zone:&lt;br /&gt;
Simone Zone provides people extensive information and tools to understand and use energy psychology. Jon C. Mejia and RJ Gaznabi, both well-known researchers and authors, created the company. &lt;br /&gt;

    <title>Is the Food and Beverage Industry on the Leading Edge of the US Recession?</title>
    <summary>A recent survey conducted by The American Liquor License Exchange (AMLEX), a California based food and beverage industry consulting firm, reveals that troubles inundating the banking sector have arrived on the shores of the restaurant industry.</summary>
    <content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;Glendale, CA (IPRWIRE) Mon. June 30th, 2008 -- According to an article that appeared in the Sacramento Bee on June 21, 2008, &amp;ldquo;Retailers across California have eliminated more than 20,000 jobs in the past year. In greater Sacramento, 900 jobs have disappeared at hotels, restaurants and food-service companies since 2007.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The California economy is sputtering,&amp;quot; said Jon C Mejia, national sales manager for Amlex. &amp;ldquo;And based on calls we&amp;rsquo;re getting from commercial real estate agents, this is just the tip of the iceberg.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Amlex asked restaurant operators a series of questions about the economy, a majority of them responded that they are scaling back expansion plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;This is as bad as any recession I&amp;rsquo;ve ever seen,&amp;rdquo; said one restaurant owner. &amp;ldquo;It seems more and more people are nesting and cooking at home to save money.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With gas and other commodity prices exploding, both consumers and operators alike are bracing themselves for what appear to be turbulent financial waters ahead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

    <summary>On April 8, 2008, a liquor license sold for $210,000.00 in Placer County California. Liquor licenses in many other CA counties routinely sell in the $50,000-$100,000 range effectively putting smaller restaurants at a huge disadvantage to the national restaurant chains who have deep pockets</summary>

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Small restaurant operators, the ma and pa types, are having a hard time, especially in this rough economic climate&amp;quot; says Jon C. Mejia, Senior Analyst with the American Liquor License Exchange (Amlex), a national, liquor license-brokering firm. &amp;quot;So the annual state liquor license 'lottery' is the best bet for the small guys to even the playing field.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the last several years, liquor license prices in many California counties have been hitting record highs. This has prompted a greater interest in the priority application process, also known as the 'lottery'.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each September the California Alcoholic Beverage Control Department accepts applications for new original on-sale general licenses for bona fide eating-places for just $12,000 in many, but not all, CA counties. To take part in the drawing, applicants must have been residents of California for at least 90 days prior to the listed date for the priority drawing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I'm advising my clients to file their applications early in order to avoid a lengthy wait,&amp;quot; said Mejia, &amp;quot;Based on the volume of calls we're receiving, 2008 could have the largest number of applications ever recorded.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
