FashionandEarth.com Launches Green Clothing Shopping Site Featuring Organic, Eco-Friendly Fashion

As green clothing retailer Fashion & Earth gears up its inventory of organic clothing for its September opening, shoppers can sign up to receive notifications and an early bird discount at FashionandEarth.com. Green clothing continues to rise in popularity, but still many shoppers are held back by a lack of variety in designs coupled with high prices. Fashion & Earth, a green clothing retailer, is about to change that with the launch of its new website www.FashionandEarth.com. The company is determined to make eco-friendly fashions accessible to everyone who has ever wanted to buy organic clothing but hasn’t been able to find suitable options. Set to open for clothing sales in September this year, FashionandEarth.com will be a one-stop-shop bringing together a variety of popular brands under one roof selling eco-friendly fashions and green clothing at affordable prices. “Finding green clothing that’s stylish, affordable and lasts well can be a challenge,” says Adrian Desbarats, president of Fashion & Earth. “Even though many people want to make clothing choices that are healthier for themselves and also better for the planet, they don’t always know where to turn. We aim to make it easier for everybody to access high-quality eco-friendly fashions that look and feel great to offer a truly sustainable solution to the environmental problems of the traditional garment industry.” The green clothing site will feature stylish yet comfortable everyday basics and career-wear including tops, jeans, jackets and shoes, as well as dresses, skirts and accessories from a variety of socially and environmentally responsible brands. The brands are subject to a stringent evaluation process to ensure alignment with Fashion & Earth’s requirements for organic fabrics, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and fair trade practices, in addition to undergoing what Desbarats calls the “everyday person” test. “We aim to carry green clothing items that the everyday person loves to wear and can afford to buy...Click to read more

HawaiiGaga.com Launches Hawaii Vacation Rental Search Engine and Vacation Guide

HawaiiGaga.com has launched the world’s first human reviewed search engine designed specifically for Hawaii vacation rentals.  The site contains the internet’s most comprehensive directory of Hawaii’s rental listings. HawaiiGaga.com also serves as a community and resource center for vacationers - a place where users can share vacation ideas, and most importantly, write rental reviews. HawaiiGaga.com gives people the information they need to plan the perfect holiday and showcases Hawaii’s natural attractions with hundreds of panoramic photos. Interactive maps, guides and discussion forums further aid tourists in discovering the islands. Hawaii’s vacation rentals are scattered across thousands of web sites. Most rentals are listed in more than one location but don’t include a name or unit number making them difficult to identify. Rentals can also be listed by both agents and owners, often at different price points. Searching and sifting through all the choices is a time consuming and daunting task for vacationers. HawaiiGaga.com finds, organizes, and catalogs rental listings for vacationers, presenting the results in a highly organized way.  “Some tourists are hesitant to stay in vacation rentals even though they provide unique comforts and cost effectiveness,” believes CEO James Pretorius. “Relative to hotels, the rental industry is disorganized, inconvenient, and lacks credibility. By acting as the gateway to Hawaii’s vacation rentals, HawaiiGaga.com addresses all these concerns and is uniquely positioned to act as an advocate for the industry.” HawaiiGaga.com features many tools to help people to find rentals that match their preference.  Some of the site’s bigger attractions are...Click to read more.

TaxDiversity.com Addresses Shortage of Corporate Tax Professionals

URL:http://www.taxdiversity.com

A new initiative addressing the lack of diverse personnel within the tax profession aims to stave off a potential shortage of corporate tax professionals at a time when government regulation and financial requirements of large corporations are increasing. Tony Santiago, owner of Tax Search, Inc. and TaxTalent.com, recently launched TaxDiversity.com, a collaborative tax profession project focused on improving the diversity of both minorities and women in the tax profession as the traditional white male population begins to retire in large numbers. “As a recruiting firm and industry resource, we saw a lack of diversity particularly among minorities in the tax profession, as well as a lack of women in senior leadership roles,” says Santiago. “With the number of retirees increasing fast and a long retraining time required for new hires, we must reach out to all populations quickly or there could be dire consequences. While individual companies have developed certain initiatives, no one has stepped up to create a comprehensive plan encompassing the entire tax profession.”

In fact, a recent survey of U.S. tax professionals conducted by the company found that more than 68% said that racial diversity at the senior executive level within the tax profession was below average or poor, and nearly half said that the availability of support systems to promote diversity among tax professionals was below average or poor. The center of the effort is TaxDiversity.com, a Web site where students and professionals can view job openings, participate in forums, read case studies, watch video commentary from successful minority tax professionals and...Click to read more.

MastersinNursing.com - Guide to Accredited Schools offering Master's Degree in Nursing


URL: http://www.MastersinNursing.com

Content rich site has quickly become a widely trusted source for seekers of information about Nursing Master's Degree programs 

Recently launched MastersinNursing.com is a guide to accredited programs offering a Master's Degree in Nursing. It was built because prospective students often have questions about the various Master's Degrees offered in Nursing. Existing lists on the Internet were not comprehensive, easy to find, and many sites had outdated information and links. MastersinNursing.com was created to serve as an aid to potential graduate nursing students. The site focuses on the nursing school topics that are most commonly asked about and searched for, such as nursing degree differences, finding a comprehensive list of schools, locating reliable and current school information, etc. The newly completed site is upgraded and changed on a consistent basis with information garnered from nursing professors and schools in the United States. It is a one page site that lists hundreds of schools and is sorted alphabetically and by state. Every accredited (CCNE or NLNAC) school that offers a Master's Degree in Nursing is included as well as a short description for each school to help guide future nursing students in their search. Additionally, if a school or nursing program is listed on the U.S. News "America's Best Graduate Schools" this is also included. MastersinNursing.com is expected to save time and be a benefit to future Master's in Nursing students.
