News Image

At Young Living we are always seeking to provide our customers with clean, safe ways to support their wellness and low-toxin lifestyle goals. We know old and new customers alike will be excited that this product is back in stock.

Young Living has announced its Longevity™ supplement will once again be widely available for purchase on December 1, 2022, after years of being unavailable. Longevity softgels provide a clean alternative to help support overall well-being, detoxification, and the body’s natural production of antioxidants. 

The Longevity daily supplement, which contains Thyme, Clove, Orange, and Frankincense essential oils, may support liver and immune function. The supplement’s blend of premium essential oils may help maintain cell integrity and prevent oxidative stress from free radicals. One softgel capsule taken daily may support overall immunity, cellular health, and antioxidant protection. 

“Longevity was first introduced as a product in 2002 and quickly became a favorite in the area of immune support,” said Mark R. Bartlett, PhD, Executive Vice President of Science and Product Development at Young Living. “At Young Living we are always seeking to provide our customers with clean, safe ways to support their wellness and low-toxin lifestyle goals. We know old and new customers alike will be excited that this product is back in stock.” 

Clove essential oil contains antioxidant properties, while the Orange essential oil in the blend may provide immune system support. It contains d-limonene, a natural plant constituent that has anti-inflammatory properties. The Thyme oil in Longevity softgels may help protect DHA levels, a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid found throughout the body that is important for normal brain and eye function. The formula is rounded out by Young Living’s Frankincense essential oil, which helps support general health and well-being.  

Each Longevity bottle provides customers with a 30-day supply of precision-delivery softgel capsules with instructions to take one pill daily with food. To learn more about the scientific benefits of Longevity softgels and how they work, listen to Mark Bartlett speak more about them in this video or visit the Young Living website.

Emler Swim School Glides into California with Acquisition of King’s Swim Academy


”King’s Swim Academy has been a blessing for us and families in our community, and we are excited for the next generation of kids to grow under Emler’s leadership. Emler Swim School will be a tremendous community partner in teaching water safety.”

Emler Swim School acquired award-winning King’s Swim Academy, a family business with facilities in San Carlos and San Mateo, California. The deal, which closed last week, expands Emler’s footprint to 44 facilities and counting across Texas, California, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Virginia and Wisconsin.

“This is a great cultural fit, as our organizations have similar goals,” said Emler CEO Greg Laird. “The Smiths have created a safe and fun place for families to bring their children to learn how to swim. Emler’s first priority is safety, and one of our founding principles is about giving children a fun experience so they fall in love with the water. We found environments just like Emler’s when we visited the King’s Swim Academy locations.”

King’s Swim Academy started in a backyard pool by Jeff and Joan Smith and their teenage daughter. Prior to starting the swim school, Jeff had coaching experience at varying levels from youth up to college and master level. Joan was an elite athlete, earning NCAA All American honors in college for swimming, and participating in triathlons professionally.

With their passion for swimming, the Smiths grew their family swim lessons into an award-winning swim school in 2007 and later expanded further with an additional location. King’s Swim Academy teaches lessons for babies, toddlers, kids and adults.

Taking the trust parents place in them seriously and creating a nurturing environment for their kids has earned King’s Swim Academy a welcoming and stellar reputation. The school has won honors from families like Parents’ Press Best of the Bay and Bay Area Parents Family Favorite.

”King’s Swim Academy has been a blessing for us and families in our community, and we are excited for the next generation of kids to grow under Emler’s leadership,” said Joan and Jeff Smith, founders of King’s Swim Academy. “Emler Swim School will be a tremendous community partner in teaching water safety.”

Emler Swim School provides safety with a splash of love. In business for more than 45 years, the organization teaches an award-winning curriculum while nurturing children in a healthy, safe and fun environment. Founded on the principle that every child has the ability to swim, Emler offers a 100% swimmer guarantee and teaches children how to self-rescue in case of an accident. Emler takes the view that swimming is not just another activity, it’s another layer of drowning prevention to keep children safe. For more information about Emler Swim School, visit https://emlerswimschool.com/

King’s Swim Academy will continue to operate under its current name with the same enrollment plans and staff. For more information about King’s, visit https://kingsswimacademy.com/

About Emler Swim School

In 1975, Emler Swim School was founded on two principles, that every child should experience a fun lesson that causes them to fall in love with the water, and that every parent should receive a guarantee that their child will learn to swim.

Emler utilizes a proven, ever-evolving curriculum, a quality staff that undergoes thorough training and – above all – a passion to nurture children in a healthy, safe and fun environment.

With more than 20 different classes and levels, the award-winning swim school is proud to meet the need of every swimmer with the same “Emler Sure,” 100 percent guarantee.

Aqua-Tots Swim Schools Opens 130th Indoor Learn-to-Swim Facility in Sandy Springs, Georgia


Aqua-Tots Swim Schools is now open in Sandy Springs, Georgia, serving families in north Atlanta with year-round swim lessons for children as early as four months old.

Many people ask about starting swim lessons in the winter, and we remind them that now is the best time to start their journey toward safe and confident swimming before summer. -Jesse Rhodenbaugh, Franchise Owner

Aqua-Tots Swim Schools, the largest international swim school franchise, announces the opening of their 130th worldwide location in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Located at 5290 Roswell Rd. at the intersection of Roswell and Mt. Paran Roads, Aqua-Tots Sandy Springs opened to the community on Monday, December 5, 2022.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning is the leading cause of unintentional, injury-related death in children one to four years old.

Packline Materials Handling Announce The Production Of Their New Stainless Roll Handling Equipment With Extended Vertical Spindle Attachment For Handling Wide Rolls


The stainless roll handling equipment with extended vertical spindle attachment for handling wide and large diameter rolls is the ideal solution to increase efficiency and improve health and safety conditions.

New to Packline Materials Handling and Ultrasource LLC, this fully powered extended vertical spindle attachment was designed in response to a customer requirement in the food industry to handle very wide and large diameter rolls of film. Constructed from stainless steel, this roll handling solution is suitable for clean room high care environments such as those found in the food, drinks, pharmaceutical and medical industries.

The extended vertical spindle attachment is designed to handle very wide and large diameter rolls (1000-1100mm / 39-43”) of film.

The vertical spindle attachment tube has been extended to incorporate the wider rolls. In addition, the vertical spindle features an extension block to facilitate the longer drop required for the larger rolls.

A heavy-duty rotation kit and geared rotation ensures that the wide rolls can be safely rotated to and from the vertical to the horizontal.

The vertical spindle attachment features manual roll gripping and release by means of a handwheel. The rolls are securely gripped by the core. This mechanism is fitted with a torque limiter so that the clamping rollers do not over or under tighten onto the reel.

This lifting solution encompasses powered lifting and lowering.

The Vertical Spindle attachment has been designed to suit the lifting and rotation of rolls of film and foil with a safe working load of 225kg (500lbs), although higher capacities may be available on request.

The attachments enhanced design features include a greater load capacity, improved strength and durability which provides an easy and safe operation. It is entirely suitable for the food industry and other hygienic applications.

Treadmill Running in Virtual Reality Worlds with Octonic


Run in VR with Octonic.

Treadmill running will never be the same.

Ever get bored with treadmill running? Today’s fitness treadmill experience quite often is monotonous and isolating, even when supplemented with video screens and headphones. NY-based VR software startup Octonic has developed a solution that transforms the treadmill experience into fun fitness exercising adventures with a Meta (Oculus) Quest 2 or Quest Pro headset. Their app, Octonic VR, is now available for early access on Meta’s AppLab and Itch.io through SideQuest VR.

Treadmill running will never be the same. Using Octonic’s VR Motion Engine, runners will be able to enter a growing variety of virtual worlds controller-free with hand tracking. Current worlds include Caves and Canyons, a natural wonder environment where runners swing past scores of desert cacti, swerve in and out of caverns, and trot by towering mountains and arches. In Arena, runners transport themselves to an interplanetary stadium in a multiplayer match where they compete against or run with up to seven friends, AI bots, or random runners from across the world. In-game features allow them to communicate with each other as they race to the finish line. Experience VR for treadmill for the first time ever.

To effectively integrate with treadmills, the team at Octonic has built and thoroughly tested a proprietary 3-level safety system for VR fitness that provides real-time position tracking, a departure warning system, and automatic stop with Mixed Reality passthrough. As a result, runners will have both comfort and peace of mind as they seamlessly run and exercise in the metaverse.

While Octonic continues building partnerships with treadmill manufacturers for full integration of their VR Motion Engine, runners using non-integrated treadmills are able to utilize the product today with any brand on the market using the Quest’s passthrough capabilities. Converting treadmills into a VR gaming adventure is as simple as downloading Octonic VR and using it to calibrate a Meta (Oculus) Quest 2 or Quest Pro with a treadmill in minutes.

Octonic is currently developing new virtual worlds, as well as an expanding set of features, which will be regularly released with new software updates. To get the latest news, sign up for their newsletter on their website.

Octonic’s product is now available for purchase. Visit AppLab or SideQuestVR to start your VR workout today.
