			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you haven&#8217;t yet heard of krill oil, you are missing out on a great supplement. Krill oil is becoming a more popular way of getting your omega 3s that you find in fish oil, but with added benefits due to recent studies and comparison results. In this article I&#8217;ll be going over the benefits of taking krill oil supplements also known as NKO or Neptune Krill Oil.</p>
<p>You can avoid taking in the outrageous levels of mercury and lead found in fish oil while at the same time increasing your intake of vitamins A, D and E found in krill oil. NKO can help prevention of things like arthritis, light sensitivity and even asthma. It also makes a great anti-aging supplement as well as helping women decrease symptoms that occur during PMS.</p>
<p>When choosing what supplements we should take, the best decision is what provides the most benefit for our body. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for providing support of a strong and healthy immune system, heart, joint movement, kidneys and also help control cholesterol levels. Additionally, it contributes to better strength and stamina which is always needed.</p>
<p>With NKO, there is also the benefit of high levels of antioxidants in krill oil that is not to be overlooked. Antioxidants play a big role in keeping your body healthy. You will also find phospholipids in NKO, which is basically a composite of the mineral phosphorus and fats that keep your brain healthy.</p>
<p>These important components allow for a faster breakdown of NKO in your body and therefore create better results. There was a study done at McGill University in Canada showing where consuming krill oil daily reduced LDL or &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol by 34% and increased HDL or &#8220;good&#8221; cholesterol by 43.5%. The results for fish oil did not come close to comparison, showing it reduced LDL by only 4.6% and increased HDL by 4.2%. The longer it takes to absorb in the body, the less effective and the results leave nothing to question as to why krill oil is should be your supplement of choice.</p>
<p>Using <a href="http://soulfoodnutritionformen.getprograde.com/essential-fatty-acid.html">krill oil</a> can change your life for the better. Before you buy <a href="http://soulfoodnutritionformen.net/blog/the-awesome-power-of-krill-oil-supplements/">krill oil supplements</a> look at Vaughn Council&#8217;s site for more information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The company of Omega watches was found by a man named Louis Brandt in 1848 in the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland. Omega has that name because when referred to the Greek alphabet Omega means achievement and perfection. This is what the company has produced in every single Omega watch; they have lived up to their name magnificently. They will continue to produce nothing less than the finest quality in watches. Not only are their watches made with pride and precision, but they look great, too. These watches are available in many different shapes, sizes, colors and styles, for men and women. Omega has also won many awards over past 150 years.</p>
<p>In the year of 1848, when Louis Brandt was 23 years old he opened a sales office for the purpose of manufacturing watches. The brothers Louis and César Brandt established a watch production unit when they leased a floor of a building to get their business started. They have produced many watches in their time; a few of them are named Gurzelen, Helvetia, Celtic, Patria, Jura and many more.</p>
<p>Just four years after the Labrador lever movement was introduced in 1885, Fils and Louis Brandt later develop into the biggest manufactures of wristwatches in the whole of Switzerland. By that time there production rate was more than 100,000 watches. And that amount just keeps on growing, Omega started out by producing splendid watches and that will continue until the watches are no more.</p>
<p>When the procket-watch was introduced in 1894, it came to be an excellent market performer. The procket-watches main aspects for sales were in the identical parts that were simple to navigate. The name of the watch line also comes from this procket-watch as Henri Rieckel, the banker of the company proposed that it be named Omega and the success of the sales of this watch had the company so ecstatic that they decided to call all the watches that were made from then on, Omega. The name also worked because of its meaning in the Greek alphabet.</p>
<p>The Omega Speedmaster was designed in the year of 1957 and after thorough evaluation NASA determined that they wanted to exploit the watch, Speedmaster Professional in the year of 1965 and make it their official timepiece.</p>
<p>Omega has also has its fair share of fame; astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon was wearing an Omega watch when he took the steps to fame. Omega got their 100,000th ranking certificate for the quartz chronometers in May 1983. In the same year, during the month of December a museum for Omega was opened.</p>
<p>New designs for Omega watches are being introduced all the time, and they seem to be getting more and more glorious as time passes. Many people have Omega watches and they will keep on selling because they are made using only the finest materials and the greatest accuracy. A lot of time goes into making every individual watch and this is the reason for the Omega Company being respected to the highest degree possible.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Omega Watches were founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt. The watches were produced with the aim to surpass others in high precision timing. His two sons took over the company after his death and created their own in-house manufacturing system. They focused strongly on producing their own calibers.</p>
<p>After these two sons passed on in 1903, their eldest descendent Paul Emile-Brandt at age 24 took over the company. Even at that young age, he was able to turn the then 800 workers workshop to new heights. He merged the company into the SSIH group in 1930 which later took in many other brands within its umbrella.</p>
<p>It also became the first independent company to be the official timekeeper for Olympics in Los Angeles in 1931. The next breakthrough was in 1965 when their Speedmaster Professional was declared by NASA as flight-qualified for all their manned space missions. The first walk in space by astronaut, Edward White, was wearing the very watch.</p>
<p>Then in 1969, the first astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, used their to land on the moon. Another test on the watch company was the Apollo 13 explosion of their service module in 1970. The astronauts had to fly back their craft with total power supply cut with limited oxygen supply. Their ability to re-enter earth’s atmosphere was done with the help of that helped them earn the Snoopy Award, a high honor given by astronauts to their suppliers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Engineered to the nth degree, the Omega watch brand is a staple on many a well-to-do man&#8217;s dresser; tucked safely away inside its luxurious velvet box, ensuring that this extremely fine timepiece will be free from dust and scratches when not eloquently strapped to its owner&#8217;s wrist.</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s take a brief but intriguing look at the history behind these luxurious watches long before they signed Hollywood A-list stars Nicole Kidman and George Clooney, as well as tennis superstar Maria Sharapova, to become their celebrity endorsers.</p>
<p>The fairy tale known as the Omega Watch Company actually started way back in the 19th Century -1848 to be exact, when the Omega founder, Louis Brandt, a Swiss watchmaker who resided in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, began creating his &#8220;Omega&#8221; masterpieces. Of course, back then he constructed each piece using only his bare hands by meticulously assembling each watch piece by piece.</p>
<p>The first watches that Mr. Brandt made were pocket watches, because back then they were the timepiece that was considered to be vogue and were highly sought after and cherished. In the mid 1800&#8217;s the thought of attaching a bracelet to their time piece never even crossed a persons mind. The fashionable and preferred thing to do was to carry their beloved &#8220;Omega&#8221; watches &#8211; which, at the time were called &#8220;Bienne&#8221; watches &#8211; in their pockets.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Mr. Louis Brandt passed away in 1879 and he left his modest company to his sons, Louis Paul Brandt and Cesar Brandt who carried on their father&#8217;s tradition of impeccable pocket watch craftsmanship. They decided to rename the company &#8220;Bienne&#8221; in January 1880.</p>
<p>The birth of the Omega watch brand actually took place in 1894, more than a decade after the renaming of the company to Bienne. Louis and Cesar Brandt introduced, for the first time, the brand &#8220;Omega&#8221; to the Swiss public. Over time, the Omega watch has come to be one of Switzerland&#8217;s biggest and most luxurious exports. The Omega watch name actually came from one of the two Brandt brother&#8217;s watch movement calibers.</p>
<p>Sadly, the reign of the two Brandt brothers in the Omega watch company was short-lived because both brothers suddenly died in 1903. This resulted in four individuals taking control of the Omega watch company. One of the individuals was Paul Brandt, who not only inherited the Brandt family name but their entrepreneurial instincts as well. At just 23 years old, Paul was actually the oldest of the four who took over the Omega watch company after the death of the Brandt brothers.</p>
<p>After a merger with fellow Swiss luxury watch brand, Tissot in 1930, SSIH (Société suisse pour l&#8217;industrie horlogère) in Geneva, Switzerland was created as the new parent company of the newly merged watch companies. Fortunately, the merger between Tissot and Omega was a big success, which is why in a relatively short time the SSIH group grew to over fifty other companies including Lemania, Lanco and Hamilton. And in a relatively short period of time, the SSIH group has managed to position themselves as the third largest producer of luxury watches, as well as watch movements in the world.</p>
<p>It was during this time when Omega produced a number of its most loved time pieces. Vintage Omega watches that are still highly sought and are famous to this day.</p>
<p>During the Second World War, Omega built a solid reputation for themselves by coming out with military and pilot watches for servicemen. They have always been known for their fine craftsmanship and their great attention to detail. Other popular watches from that era were the Omega Speedmaster chronograph, the Omega Seamaster waterproof sports watch and the Omega Constellation watches, which are all still incredibly popular.</p>
<p>During an economic downturn in 1980, Omega found itself once again merging with another Swiss watch giant &#8211; ASUAG, which manufactures and produces other popular Swiss watches such as Swatch, Longines and Rado. The new company that emerged from the Omega-ASUAG merger was called the ASUAG-SSIH company. Unfortunately, even the combined resources of the newly formed company was unable to fight off the economic slump that Omega was facing during that time which resulted in the newly formed company to be taken over by a private group. The ASUAG-SSIH company was renamed and shortened to just SMH which still exists today.</p>
