Research Specialist Cadence Group Launches e-Commerce Website for On-Demand Research

Cadence Group is pleased to announce the launching of www. cg-research. com, a pay-as-you-go service where individuals and organizations can submit research requests online. The trusted researchers of cg-research. com gather the information from reliable Internet sources, access paid databases such as Lexis Nexis and Factiva, and provide a professional research report within 24 to 48 hours.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 28, 2005

Cadence GroupÂ®, a woman-owned $3.5 million information management and competitive intelligence firm based in Atlanta, announces the launch of cg-research. com, an e-commerce website that provides research on-demand. This website enables individuals, businesses and government agencies to submit research requests and make payments using a credit card on a secure site Â– without long-term commitments, contractual arrangements or subscription fees.

Â“More and more companies are responding to the marketÂ’s demand for pay-as-you-go, simple-to-procure solutions for their information needs,Â” said Tina Baker, co-founder, president and CEO of Cadence Group. Â“Even content providers have begun reacting to this demand by making their content available Â‘by the drinkÂ’ through websites that support credit card transactions.Â”

Cadence Group is leading the way for corporations, government agencies and individuals to meet their on-demand needs for research support when they donÂ’t have time to do the research required to make a good business decision, or when they want a quality result without devoting their own resources. Cadence GroupÂ’s new cg-research. com website, at

Http://www. cg-research. com (http://www. cg-research. com), answers this market demand by providing on-demand research with a simple credit card transaction.

Â“ThereÂ’s an art to searching the Web expertly and efficiently, evaluating the validity of sources and filtering the results into a succinct report. Cadence Group researchers are experienced at doing just that while busy professionals are tending to more critical work.Â”

Pure Milk Calcium

Pure Milk Calcium, the Natural Choice!

(PRWEB) January 5, 2005

Having all the information on Calcium is the first step to the prevention of osteoporosis. Calcium is about so much more than just bones. Just about every cell in our bodies, including those in the heart, nerves and muscles, relies on calcium to function properly. And if your body doesn't get the calcium it needs from your diet, it will steal it from your bones, putting you at risk for osteoporosis. More prevalent in women, osteoporosis causes bones to become fragile and more likely to break.

Experts agree that we should get as much of the recommended daily intake of calcium as possible from our diet. But most people donÂ’t. So a calcium-rich diet combined with a calcium supplement can be a good compromise.

Experts also agree that the best source of calcium is dairy products. So a calcium supplement based on milk just makes sense.

Immunotec Pure Milk Calcium is a unique calcium supplement thatÂ’s real calcium from real milkÂ—itÂ’s as close to the original as you can get. ItÂ’s pure, itÂ’s simple, and itÂ’s wholesomeÂ…this is what sets Pure Milk Calcium apart from other calcium supplements.

Pure Milk Calcium is your best source of calcium if youÂ’re not getting enough from your diet, and most of us arenÂ’t. Plus Pure Milk Calcium was developed to ensure that you get maximum calcium absorption, so that the calcium youÂ’re taking doesnÂ’t go to waste.

Information on Calcium For Good Health:

In addition to maintaining a healthy skeleton, calcium is essential for many body functions, including regulating the heartbeat, and muscle contraction and relaxation. Research shows that calcium delivers a variety of health benefits:

Â· Calcium improves bone health: Giving your body enough calcium is important in the prevention of osteoporosis.

Â· Calcium reduces high blood pressure: Eating vegetables and fruit plus calcium-rich dairy products daily has been shown to lower high blood pressure in some people.

Â· Calcium is useful in the treatment of colon cancer: Calcium and other nutrients such as vitamin D may control the growth of cancer cells in the colon.

Â· Calcium is effective on kidney stones: People at risk for kidney stones used to be told to limit their calcium intake because most kidney stones are made of calcium salts. Current thinking is that calcium from food sources actually decreases stone risk.

Calcium Requirements at Different Life Stages:

From the time we are very young, our parents tell us to drink milk for healthy teeth and bones. As adults, we need to maintain our calcium intake for the years that lie ahead, but often weÂ’re not getting enough.

The National Academy of Sciences and the National Osteoporosis Foundation recommend daily calcium intakes of 1,000-1,200 mg/day for adult men and women.

Population Recommended Daily Calcium Intake

Population - Recommended Daily Calcium Intake

Children (ages 4-8)- 800 mg

Adolescents and young adults (ages 9-18)- 1,300 mg

Adult women (ages 19-50) - 1,000 mg

Adult men (ages 19-50) - 1,000 mg

Women over 50 - 1,200 mg

Men over 50 - 1,200 mg

Pregnant or nursing women - 1,000-1,300 mg

Hormones and vitamin D control the body's use of calcium. In fact, the body cannot absorb calcium without vitamin D, and recommended vitamin D intake is 400 IU per day. Immunotec Pure Milk Calcium has the ideal combination of calcium and vitamin D to make sure your body gets the most out of the calcium youÂ’re taking.

Information and Tips on Calcium and Supplements

Â· Certain dietary factors can negatively affect calcium nutrition, including frequent dieting, excessive consumption of caffeine, alcohol and salt.

Â· Avoid calcium from sources such as unrefined oyster shell, bone meal or dolomite, which can contain high levels of toxic metals.

Â· Calcium is best absorbed in small amounts. A supplement with a low recommended dosage, taken several times a day, is ideal. Try taking 250 mg to 500 mg a day for a week, then add more calcium slowly.

Â· The amount of calcium per supplement dosage should not exceed 500 mg, since many foods contain calcium. In fact, the average American obtains 500-600 mg/day of calcium from their diet. There is no benefit to exceeding 2,000 mg of calcium per day.

Â· Evidence is emerging that lactose helps calcium absorption along with vitamin C.

Pure Milk Calcium: The Natural Choice

Immunotec Pure Milk Calcium is the natural choice to help make a difference in your healthÂ—no bones about it! ItÂ’s pure, itÂ’s as close to the original as you can get and itÂ’s an ideal source of calcium. Really, the name says it all.

John F. Groom Debuts 'The $1.8 Billion Dollar Man': 23 Categories Responsible for the Cost of the Obama White House

John F. Groom (http://www. johnfgroom. com/products-page/e-books/the-1-8-billion-dollar-man/), a distinguished author and media analyst, announces the debut of his newest book: The $1.8 Billion Dollar Man. The book catalogues the 23 categories responsible for the $1.8 billion cost of the Obama White House, making this administration the most expensive presidency in history. This non-partisan analysis includes Groom's overview of everything from the president's salary to the cost of operating Air Force One to running the Vice President's office to maintaining Camp David to financing the resources that symbolize this presidency. Readers can learn more about The $1.8 Billion Dollar Man at http://www. taxpayertreasurehunt. com, where Groom dissects these figures alongside a variety of complementary news sources.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 21, 2010

"The $1.8 Billion Dollar Man is a metaphor for the broader economic crisis confronting the federal government. This challenge to the nation's fiscal safety is both real and symbolic, since the presidency is more than sum of its parts: it represents the power of the United States, at home and abroad, and these costs - while small in comparison to the overall budget - are a warning sign about the White House's excessive spending. For example: this administration spends $250,000 on flowers, another quarter-million on a cancelled Valentine's Day trip and then $1,000,000 on 'Unanticipated Needs' that no one can even describe. On top of these things, the White House spends nearly $155 million on 'Special Missions' that also warrant further inspection. The $1.8 Billion Dollar Man is an opportunity for taxpayers to get the facts about the growth in spending throughout our government.

"The $1.8 Billion Dollar Man presents this data in an intelligible and thoroughly documented fashion. The book takes readers on a sobering tour of the economic price of maintaining this sort of presidency. I welcome the opportunity for citizens of all political beliefs to purchase The $1.8 Billion Dollar Man, so they can further the debate about the innovative ways we can restore the nation's financial health," says John F. Groom.

AtlantaMold and Indoor Air Quality Consultants Introduce 'Building Science' Instrument Based Investigative Techniques to Solutions of Air Quality Complaints within Personal Residences

AtlantaMold provides 'Building Science' investigation and reporting services for Indoor Air Quality Complaints within personal residences. As part of our service, we provide consultation to homeowners, realestate professionals and home builders on methods to prevent, remediate and/or protect against mold and other indoor air pollutants in the Atlanta Metro area.

(PRWEB) February 23, 2005

AtlantaMold (http://atlantamold. biz (http://atlantamold. biz)), the registered web site for Atlanta Mold & Indoor Air Quality Consultants is Atlanta's first consulting inspection firm utilizing Â‘Building ScienceÂ’ diagnostic tools and techniques. We specialize in defining solutions to building science problems and related health complaints associated with indoor air quality in personal residences. AtlantaMold consultants, using state of the art detection instruments, determine Â‘Building ScienceÂ’ attributes such as depressurization, vapor pressure, humidity and dew point. Such attribute determination my be the only explanation for conditions of moisture intrusion leading to evolving pathways of microbial proliferation and environmental pollutant exposure coincident with advanced building techniques and Â‘tightÂ’ home construction.

Older homes, not constructed with todayÂ’s Â‘air tightÂ’ envelopes, possess microbial contamination universally attributed to unabated moisture intrusion or inadequate control from traditional construction defects, failures or natural causes. Classic examples are leaking roofs from inadequate flashing, wet crawl spaces below living areas or continuous leaking from pipe joints. Atlanta Mold will evaluate these conditions as contributing agents to indoor air quality complaints.

However, newer homes present new diagnostic challenges. Air tight building envelopes, changing building material sources and newer construction practices result in biological contamination and its expansion from surprisingly different pathways. Microbial contamination may be invisibly amplifying within the interstitial spaces of walls because of vapor pressure differences within the home envelope. Diagnosing this phenomenon requires employing Â‘Building ScienceÂ’ concepts of interior pressure, temperature contrasts, vapor pressure movement and how they relate to the actual construction method.

Fungal reservoir amplification with concomitant release of allergenic spores or volatile organic compounds, toxins and mycotoxins continues to be a leading source of health related complaints and legal challenges in older as well as new Â‘tightÂ’ homes. Although exposure pathways have changed, health consequences of these pollutants as well as other indoor environmental challenges including traditional household chemicals, like pesticides, remain threats to our health regardless of the age of our homes.

AtlantaMold and Indoor Air Quality Consultants offer homeowners, property managers, real estate and building professionals investigation and documentation services in explanation and potential remedy of indoor air quality complaints. Home Inspection, Mold Inspection, Mold Remediation, Indoor Air Quality and Remediation Oversight services employ the most appropriate testing equipment, sampling methodology, laboratory services and documentation. In addition, we design and deliver for CEU credit, microbiology and indoor air quality training and development programs for real estate and construction professionals with an overall guide to continuously improving residential health risks.

AtlantaMold possesses qualification of Certified Home Inspector (CHI) by the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI); Certified Mold Inspector (CMI) and Certified Mold Remediation Contractor (CMRC) from the Mold Inspection Consulting and Remediation Organization (MICRO).

AtlantaMold and Indoor Air Quality Consultants is led by Dr. William Kraemer. Dr. Kraemer earned Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Biology, Physiology, Biochemistry and Biophysics and a Doctor of Science degree in Health Services Management and Administration. He has taught biology and microbiology at the college level, performed basic microbiological and biochemical research and is published in international scientific journals. Dr. Kraemer has been involved in building materials and construction practices within residential, fast food and industrial sectors since 1976.

AtlantaMold and Indoor Air Quality Consultants is delighted to announce Mr. William Sharp, noted Atlanta home builder and trainer as an internal consultant. Bill Sharp has particular interests in regulatory oversight improvement and building code enhancement in pursuit of construction practices resulting in better, safer and healthier homes.

Asian Media Watch Demands Termination of NJ 101.5 FM Radio Hosts for Verbal Attack on Asian Pacific Americans

Asian Media Watch calls for termination of NJ 101.5 FM radio hosts Craig Carton and Ray Rossi for their racist defamatory propoganda and attack on the Asian Pacific American community and a candidate for public office. Asian Media Watch demands full accountability by parent company Millennium Radio Group for allowing NJ 101.5 FM Radio hosts to make defamatory statements such as "Ching Chong Ching Chong... Damn Orientals and Indians."

(PRWEB) May 1, 2005

Asian Media Watch denounces the racist propaganda broadcast by the hosts of radio station New Jersey 101.5 FM and for their attempts to undermine the rights of Asian Pacific Americans (APAs) to participate in the democratic and political process of this nation. On April 25, 2005, radio hosts Craig Carton and Ray Rossi made racially derogatory statements towards the Asian Pacific American community and towards an Asian Pacific American candidate for public office.

Carton and Rossi also have a past history of prejudice and hate speech in which they have directed their bigotry towards the mentally ill and threatened violence towards patients recovering from addictive illness. Asian Media Watch allies itself with all those working to hold the employees and management of New Jersey 101.5 FM, and its parent company Millennium Radio Group ("Millennium"), fully accountable for promoting bigotry and hatred.

During their April 25, 2005 program, Carton and Rossi (a. k.a. "The Jersey Guys") used profanity and racial slurs, and spoke in "ching chong" mock Asian gibberish in order to denigrate Americans of Asian Pacific descent; portrayed Asian Pacific Americans as foreigners who interfere with the democratic and political process of this nation, and portray Asian Pacific Americans as outsiders who are not "American." Carton and Rossi referred to Asian Pacific Americans as "Damn Orientals and Indians," spoke in "ching chong" gibberish, demeaned a candidate for public office Jun Choi, as well make other derogatory statements.

In January 2005, Carton outraged mental health advocates by stating that women suffering postpartum depression "they must be crazy in the first place," and other disparaging comments directed towards the wife of acting New Jersey Governor Richard J. Codey. In April, 2004, Carton attempted to incite violence towards people recovering from addictive illnesses by stating that he would burn down the homes of recovery patients, preferable with them in it, and shoot recovering patients in the head.

The on-air displays of hatred and bigotry expressed by Millennium employees are harmful not only to the Asian Pacific American community. Carton and Rossi perpetuate a climate of intolerance and hatred towards people of different backgrounds and towards the disadvantaged. Carton and Rossi disgracefully attempt to represent the State of New Jersey and "White blue-collar workers" as being supportive of their own individual prejudiced views. Their promotion of intolerance and hatred are an affront to the common decency of all who value diversity and mutual understanding that crosses the lines of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, and mental or physical disability. Not withstanding the fact that Asian Pacific Americans have contributed to the social and economic fabric of American society since the 1800s, Carton and Rossi have spread propaganda that devalues the contributions of made by Americans from all different cultural and religious backgrounds.

Asian Media Watch demands the termination of radio hosts Craig Carton and Ray Rossi for their bigoted and racist attack on the Asian Pacific American community and for their history of bigotry towards the mentally ill and other disadvantaged members of society. The organization calls for full accountability by the employees and management of NJ 101.5 FM and parent company Millennium Radio Group ("Millennium") -- that Millennium take full responsibility for condoning the atrocious behavior of Carton and Rossi; and that Millennium take immediate steps to remedy this matter including, but not exclusively, the implementation and enforcement of business policies and practices that prohibit bigotry and hate speech, and to ensure equal opportunity and diversity in employment practices at all Millennium radio stations and offices.

Debenhams Exposes the Cougar Effect Driving Sexy Lingerie Sales

Debenhams exposes the Cougar Effect as sexy lingerie sales soar amongst the 40's and 50's

London, UK (PRWEB) May 12, 2010

Debenhams, leading lingerie retailer, is reporting sales of sultry lingerie among women of a 'certain age' are booming thanks to the glamorous 40-somethings of Sex and the City 2 and Cougar Town.

The hit TV show, and forthcoming movie, showing the bedroom antics of women in their 40's and 50's and their much younger partners, is being credited by Debenhams with the rise in demand from women of the same age.

A nationwide analysis of the most popular lingerie styles (http://www. debenhams. com/women/lingerie-nightwear (http://www. debenhams. com/women/lingerie-nightwear)) from October 2009 to April 2010, by the high street store, revealed that empowered 40 plus women have given the more seductive side of the lingerie industry a big boost.

These women are rediscovering their figures, often after having children or getting divorced, and are enjoying the confidence boost that a great fitting bra can give.

Previously the peak purchasers of cleavage enhancing bras, basques, thongs, stockings and suspenders, have been women in their early 20s. However, the survey showed that women aged 40 plus are spending more time and money in the lingerie department.

Head Lingerie Buyer for Debenhams, Annette Warburton said: "It's important that women at any age feel fantastic in their underwear.

"Over the last six months, our lingerie fitters have reported a sharp rise in the number of women in their 40's and 50's booking consultations to overhaul their lingerie wardrobes.

"We currently bra fit over 250,000 women a year and the 40 plus age group is now our fastest growing market.

"Positive female role models in this age group such as the women in the Sex and the City movies and Courtney Cox in TV's Cougar Town are giving the women confidence to splash out on themselves.

"With women's 40's being touted as the new 20's, and lingerie designers stepping up to the mark to feed this demand, it's a market we expect to see grow further in the future".

According to Debenhams the top cities for sexy lingerie sales among women in their 40's and 50's are London, Edinburgh and Brighton.

About Debenhams:
Debenhams is a leading department stores group with a strong presence in lingerie retail, stocking brands like Wonderbra (http://www. debenhams. com/women/wonderbra (http://www. debenhams. com/women/wonderbra)), Calvin Klein (http://www. debenhams. com/women/lingerie-nightwear/calvin-klein-underwear (http://www. debenhams. com/women/lingerie-nightwear/calvin-klein-underwear)) and Sloggi (http://www. debenhams. com/women/sloggi (http://www. debenhams. com/women/sloggi)).

This online event brings Ms. Michelle Logsdon, Deputy Director of the State Department's Office of Public Diplomacy in the Bureau of European Affairs, together with over 100 current FLEX students to discuss the future of U.

FLEX was established in 1992 as the centerpiece of the NIS Secondary School Initiative with FREEDOM Support Act funding from the State Department. Its goal is to provide an opportunity for high school students from the countries of the former Soviet Union to experience life in a democratic society in order to promote democratic values and institutions in Eurasia. Approximately 11,000 students from the former Soviet Union have spent one academic year attending schools and living with host families throughout the United States. During the 2002-03 school year, the U. S. schools and families hosted 1,265 participants. The recruitment and selection process for this program is conducted by the American Councils for International Education, website: http://www. americancouncils. org (http://www. americancouncils. org).

According to Program Coordinator Katy Pearce, Â“The FLEX students are exceptional individuals who have been given a unique opportunity to study in the U. S. The additional activities provided to them such as the online event with Michelle Logsdon allow the students to expand upon their knowledge and interact with a representative of the American government. Other computer-based programs have proved to enrich the FLEX program and add to the studentsÂ’ understanding of important elements of a civil society. An Azerbaijani student remarked, Â“I learned that not only AzerbaijanÂ’s students are interested and worried about their countryÂ’s state, and that Armenian and Georgian citizens are also curious about our future relations and opportunities that peace can bring us. Lets strive for peace.Â”

Project HarmonyÂ’s mission is to empower individuals to create healthier communities through international training and exchange programs. Project Harmony was founded in Vermont in 1985 as a grass-roots exchange organization for Soviet and American high schools. Today, Project Harmony has 14 offices worldwide and staff of more than 130 employees.

One Man's Quest: Teaching Young Men that it is Possible to Gain Muscles without Steroids

Young men are often pressured by peers to use illegal steroids in their quest to gain weight through muscle mass. Â“SkinnyÂ” weight lifters and athletes now have someone to look to who can help them achieve their goal without the illegal substance.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) February 7, 2005

While we often think of the new year as a time to lose weight, for many young men the desire to gain weight through muscle mass is so strong they often resort to use of illegal steroids.

Â“SkinnyÂ” guys have struggled for years to develop muscle mass and strength, but finding a way to do that without using illegal steroids has seemed impossible to them. They eat everything and anything, and still they do not gain weight.

After years of low self-esteem and growing desperation to gain weight, they often give in to the temptation and take steroids, which is not only illegal it is dangerous to their health.

Anthony Ellis, a fitness consultant, was the classic skinny guy. Super thin and unable to gain weight after a lifetime of trying. Finally he learned the proper way to eat and weight train exclusively for building muscle. Since 1998, he has gained over 60 lbs of lean muscle, not fat, all without the use of dangerous steroids.

Now he teaches other young men to repeat his success, without the use of steroids.

Â“Young men are coaxed into trying steroids by friends, teammates, other guys at the gym, and co-workers. Unfortunately many people who do take steroids, donÂ’t know the full health effects and potential dangers of what they are getting into,Â” explained Ellis.

Many of the young men Ellis helps do not even know that it is a serious crime to possess or use steroids without a prescription. He spends a great deal of his time educating young men so that he can help them achieve the added muscle mass they want without the risks of steroids.

So far he has helped over 70,000 Â“skinny guysÂ” gain weight through muscle mass. How? Eating the right foods and getting the right exercise.

Â“Though we eat a lot of calories, we donÂ’t eat junk. Our diets are healthy. Consisting of whole foods, low sugar, and plenty of fiber,Â” Ellis explained. His students also spend time at the gym lifting weights and doing other exercises specifically designed to turn the food they eat into muscle mass.

Â“Make no mistake, these recommendations are not for everyone,Â” warned Ellis. Â“ItÂ’s only for those of us who find gaining weight a challenge.Â”

Ellis has over 70,000 users of his program in 100 countries worldwide, and provides more information at his web site at www. fastmusclegain. com.

Bald Eagle Area School District (PA) Selects Rooftop Photovoltaic System from Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance, and Smart Energy Capital

First photovoltaic system on central PA school to provide long-term energy savings

Beachwood, Ohio (PRWEB) May 14, 2010

Benefiting from a $1.4 million State of Pennsylvania grant that encourages solar energy projects, the Bald Eagle Area School District has entered into an agreement with Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance (Tremco) and Smart Energy Capital (SEC) on the purchase, installation and long-term use of two rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems. The systems will be installed at Wingate Elementary School and the Bald Eagle Middle/High School. The Bald Eagle Area School District serves 12 communities in the northern portion of Centre County.

Under the terms of the agreement, SEC BESD Solar One LLC, a division of Smart Energy Capital, owns the systems and will sell power to the two schools under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) at a fixed rate per kilowatt hour for 25 years. The district will purchase 100% of the power that the two systems generate; combined, this will provide more than 50% of the schools' electricity demands. Annually, the middle/high school system will generate approximately 670,000 kWh of solar electricity while the elementary school system will produce about 300,000 kWh. Tremco will install and provide long-term maintenance for the systems. Installation is expected to begin this summer and be completed by the time school begins in the fall. New Tremco roofs were recently installed on the two schools as part of a $26 million renovation project.

Tremco Roofing and Smart Energy Capital are partnering to bring rooftop photovoltaic systems and affordable PPAs to customers in education, healthcare, government, commercial and other markets nationwide.

According to Superintendent Dan Fisher, the district will incur no costs to have these systems installed or maintained. Mr. Fisher said, "This is a wonderful opportunity to support the green initiative, reduce energy costs, and provide an educational experience for our students. For example, an internet-based monitoring program will enable our students to see how much power is being generated by the PV systems in real time."

Ralph Velasquez, director of Tremco Roofing’s Sustainable Technologies Group, said “It’s an honor to be associated with school districts like Bald Eagle Area, which have the vision to embrace technologies that help lower operational costs while improving the environment. We look forward to working with them and their students for a very long time.”

According to SEC Managing Partner Konstantin Braun, “This is an excellent example of how forward-thinking districts, such as Bald Eagle Area, can show both environmental and financial stewardship to the community. The opportunities for education will help students growing up in a world that will place increasing emphasis on managing our resources.”

The Bald Eagle Area School District is located in the northern portion of Centre County. Formed in 1952, it is the largest, geographically, of the four school districts located entirely in Centre County.

Architect Anthony Eckelberry Develops a Dramatic New Titanium Kitchen

Anthony Eckelberry has developed a sophisticated application of colored titanium for kitchen countertop and backsplash applications.

Los Angeles (PRWEB) December 3, 2005

Architect Anthony Eckelberry designed a Los Angeles kitchen using titanium in a natural color for countertops and applying colored titanium to the backsplash walls.

Titanium is an exotic metal utilized in space-age structures for its strength and light weight. It is also used to make handcrafted jewelry due to its ability to take on jewel-like colors. This is the first application of the material in a home environment and makes best use of its many qualities.

The metal is also used in orthopedic implants, so is especially safe for all human food contact. It is completely impervious to all food acids or alkaline substances in the kitchen and is a proven killer of bacteria, for a healthier kitchen environment.

Titanium can be colored with an industrial process that can yield colors such as blue, green, brown and even purple! The colors also have a glow that Anthony Eckelberry enhances by a process of preparing the metal prior to fabrication into building elements.

Anthony comments: “We wanted to coordinate the color of the stainless steel appliances with greens and yellows in the room and this titanium was the ideal material to bridge the colors. As titanium can be tinted various metallic shades, we selected the colors that would harmonize best.”

The homeowner added, “The material looks fantastic, it makes the kitchen very modern; it makes a change just with the titanium.”

Architect Anthony Eckelberry concludes, “This project shows that in the right hands this exotic material has potential for luxury applications combining its sanitary and artistic qualities.”

About Anthony Eckelberry, architect:

Anthony Eckelberry is a Los Angeles architect that specializes in new and remodeled high-end homes, and his customers include many people in the entertainment industry.

Imagine LAN Enhances Leave No Trace&#194;™ Security within P. I. Protector&#194;™ Mobility Suite

Imagine LAN Enhances Leave No TraceÂ™ Security within P. I. ProtectorÂ™ Mobility Suite

Leave No Trace Powerful Privacy Protection Technology Ensures Total Security for USB Flash Drive Users - When Using Shared PCs for Internet Browsing, Portable Email and File Access

(PRWEB) November 10, 2003

Nashua, NH,(PRWEB) November 10, 2003 Â– imagine LAN, Inc., a leading provider of mobility, system health and security solutions for mobile professionals and Â“on the goÂ” users of USB flash drives, today announced a major enhancement to its Leave No TraceÂ™ privacy protection technology. Leave No Trace, a key component of the companyÂ’s P. I. Protector Mobility Suite, now offers additional protection against identity theft by prohibiting spy ware programs such as Registry-based key logging software from intercepting and capturing keystroke data such as passwords and account information.

Imagine LANÂ’s P. I. Protector Mobility Suite is a set of software components that enable mobile professionals and multiple PC users to create a portable PC environmentÂ—one in which a USB flash drive loaded with the appropriate software can turn any PC into their own Â“virtual system.Â” Using this approach, a user can take the their flash drive, plug it into any Internet-connected system and operate the guest PC as if it were their own, with access to their entire personal computing environmentÂ—files, email, Internet, and other settings, with full security and protection of their personal information. All data throughout the entire session that would normally be stored on the hard driveÂ—such as cookies, passwords, URLs, etc.Â—is redirected to the USB flash drive, which prevents any information from reaching the hard drive of the system being used. However, in the past, Registry-based key loggers posed a threat to privacy protection because they were able to capture keystroke data being entered during a guest session.

Â“P. I. Protector was initially developed, in part, to combat the risks and dangers of using public Internet terminals at cyber cafes, airports, libraries and other establishments,Â” says Jan Olsen, vice president of marketing and sales at imagine LAN. Â“The expanded technologies in our enhanced Leave No Trace feature now offer extremely reliable protection against identity theft because it eliminates the exposure to many of the typical risks, especially Registry-based key loggers, that can often lead to identity theft.Â”

About imagine LAN, Inc.

Founded in 1992, imagine LAN, Inc. develops mobility, system health and security applications designed to take advantage of the compact, portable nature of the USB flash drive and other portable storage devices. Designed for MicrosoftÂ® WindowsÂ® users with multiple PCs and people with Â“on-the-goÂ” lifestyles, imagine LAN provides innovative solutions that help flash drive users work more efficiently, productively, and with greater privacy and security.

Tailored to taste cookbooks offer promise sure to please recipes, available at MyMealPlan. com

(PRWEB) February 25, 2000

ANN ARBOR, MI Â– For less than it costs for a night of take-out, you can get a cookbook filled with sure-to-please entrees based on your familyÂ’s preferences at http://www. mymealplan. com (http://www. mymealplan. com). Ushering in this new concept in publishing is Marianne Blaesing, content director of the Internet-based meal planning resource.

Â“Most cooks know the frustration of impulsively buying a cookbook to find less than a handful of recipes matching their personal tastes,Â” said Blaesing. Â“WeÂ’ve solved this problem in our cookbooks by using our web-based, taste matching system.Â”

According to Blaesing, a 300-recipe, customized cookbook is as easy as a few clicks of the mouse. Customers log onto www. mymealplan. com, click on the personalized cookbook icon, complete a brief survey of preferences, and fill out an order form. Your new cookbook ($24.95) ships within 24 hours.

To compile the recipes for a cookbook, MyMealPlan ranks the customerÂ’s food preferences through its proprietary Â“YumOmeterÂ™Â” technology. The YumOmeterÂ™ then sorts through thousands of regional and ethnic recipes to match those preferences.

For added personalization, customers create their own titles. Â“People love titling these cookbooks, especially when giving them as gifts,Â” said Blaesing. Â“WeÂ’ve even had someone wanting to resell her cookbook at her restaurant, and others interested in using them for fundraisers.Â”

In addition to the cookbook, customers gain access to timesaving and health-related information about their recipes from the MyMealPlan web site. By keying in the unique ID number that comes with each book, you can get free customized meal plans complete with grocery lists, nutritional information and Â“'fridge sheetsÂ” that tell your family whatÂ’s for dinner.

Recipes offered in MyMealPlan cookbooks are simple to prepare and are based on you and your familyÂ’s preferences. For example, indicating a strong preference for Â“white fishÂ” and Â“tomatoesÂ” on the MyMealPlan web site might yield recipes similar to the following for Â“Mexican Orange Roughy.Â”

MEXICAN ORANGE ROUGHY

2 tsp. olive oil

Â½ C. onion

2 garlic cloves

1 14-Â½-oz. can stewed tomatoes

12 oz. Orange Roughy, thawed

1 TBS. garlic powder

1 TBS. cayenne pepper

Balancing One’s Life from Within

New book empowers everyone to combine the seven innate sources of human energy.

Ocean, NJ (Vocus) September 1, 2010

Many life-changing books are out there. But author Dr. Tim Brennan’s newly published book, Life in Balance: the DREAMER Way, goes beyond simply changing a person’s life. This book aids individuals by reconstructing and empowering their lives using materials from their dreams—not so much about the dreams they have when they’re asleep, but rather, the ones that play across the edges of their consciousness when they’re awake.

For those who doubt whether they can achieve the healthiest weight, can start each day well and rested, can begin to feel fit again, or can build and maintain better relationships, they should doubt no more because it’s all possible. How? When people can master the secrets of life balance, they then would ultimately be led to continuous improvement and repeated success. It’s important that they learn to balance the seven sources of energy that will shape their day. Through this book, everyone can truly and finally achieve a Life in Balance. The very best and fastest way to achieve this is the DREAMER way, through:
building a Diet in a way that nourishes physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually enjoying real Rest by savoring the safety and the stillness growing into Exercise that moves oneself—the body, mind, and spirit discovering Awareness of one’s words, world, and self learning how Meditation can help one “come back home to peace of mind” multiplying Expression and connecting to success experiencing Renewal and changing life for good

Many see life as an overbooked, overlooked, and overstressed series of routines that people tend to just be completing their daily activities without actually feeling them. That’s why in this book, Dr. Brennan urges everyone with these words, “If you are ready to regain your sense of self and to feel sane in an often insane world, then you are ready to change your life the DREAM + E = R way.” For more information on this book, log on to Xlibris. com (http://www2.xlibris. com/bookstore/bookdisplay. aspx? bookid=78150).

DTCM Unveils Mega Marketing Campaign &#194;‘Dubai Heart&#194;’

DTCM Unveils Mega Marketing Campaign Â‘Dubai HeartÂ’

Department To Establish Strong Presence At ATM Â‘05

(PRWEB) May 2, 2005

The Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) has launched a mega marketing campaign titled Dubai Heart. The campaign, targeting international tourists and residents of Dubai, was unveiled at a press conference held today (April 30, 2005).

The campaign will run through the upcoming Arabian Travel Market 2005 (ATM) where DTCM will participate with a 623 square metre stand. ATM, being held from May 3 to 6 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, is the leading travel industry event for the Middle East and and Pan Arab region and is expected to attract thousands of international travel and hospitality trade professionals. The Department has planned several on-site promotions at ATM to coincide with the new campaign, to promote Dubai in international markets.

The campaign was introduced through a series of Â‘teaser advertsÂ’ at strategic outdoor venues throughout the emirate. The hoardings used Arabic calligraphy motifs to create a heart shape that spells Dubai.

Commenting on the launch of the campaign, DTCM Director Operations and Marketing, Mr. Mohammed Khamis bin Hareb said, Â“This campaign is the result of a well-researched and carefully thought-out strategy wherein our media team has worked from concept through objectives and mechanics to practical issues such as timing.Â”

Â“The heart means different things to different people and is symbolic of the courage and dynamism shown by our leaders in creating a trade and tourism destination unlike any other,Â” Mr. bin Hareb said.

Â“Dubai attracts visitors from around the world and is home to people from over 150 different nationalities who live and work in the emirate in perfect harmony. This campaign embodies the vibrancy of Dubai in all vividness and makes use of real people from all walks of life to present their compelling opinions,Â” Mr. bin Hareb added.

Justifying the rationale for using real people, Mr. bin Hareb said, Â“Our experience in promoting Dubai over the years has helped us devise this campaign and incorporate pragmatic elements into the brand communications to connect with the target audience.Â”

Â“Increasing media fragmentation, ease of changing channels, shortened attention span of consumers and the sheer volume of marketing messages means a lot of noise but very little opportunity for a message to reach its target audience,Â” he said.

Â“Consumers too have become more sophisticated so we have moved beyond traditional branding to enable the consumer to be immersed in the brand and have made use of real people living in Dubai as models to develop a stronger association,Â” Mr. bin Hareb stressed.

Â“This campaign provides essential attributes of consumer engagement that will enable us to stand out in a crowded market-place that is the tourism industry, where differentiation is the key to success,Â” said Mr. bin Hareb.

He added that the heart reflects DubaiÂ’s character - strong, healthy and vibrant and always full of life Â“Even when the whole body is fast asleep, the heart is at work diligently pumping and that is an expressive comment about Dubai,Â” Mr. bin Hareb noted. Â“It is also represents the positive sentiment that visitors feel Â– of being welcome in a warm, hospitable city that is simply bustling with life,Â” he said.

The campaign features a Dubai logo, with an open D signifying an open-minded culture; and the font itself denotes motion reflecting DubaiÂ’s fast-paced growth and development, a city that is constantly moving forward; and a bold typeface, reflecting the clear and bold impact that Dubai is making across the world.

The campaign will make an impact from today (May 1st) in newspapers, on the radio, television, on the DTCM website and on taxicabs, at the airport, at Visitor Information Bureaus throughout the city as well as leading hotels in the emirate simultaneously.

The Department has also organized radio promotions to give-away Â‘Dubai HeartÂ’ merchandise including caps, T-shirts, pins and mugs. Â“The promotional items have been tastefully designed to give people a sense of pride while sporting them anywhere in the world.

Â“The print advertisements will feature local residents and expatriates talking about why they love Dubai. The campaign has a strong emotional appeal to allow people to easily identify what makes Dubai tick,Â” said Mr. Ahmed Al Tunaiji, DTCM Manager Media and Advertising.

Â“The campaign has been timed to coincide with the staging of ATM to target the large groups of delegates and visitors from key international markets. The DTCM stand will display Â‘Dubai HeartÂ’ branding prominently. The stand will also feature a wind tower dispensing Dubai Heart embossed stress balls to ATM visitors. DTCM information kiosks in Dubai and across the city as well as the dedicated arrivals counter for ATM delegates at Dubai International Airport will have Dubai Heart branding,Â” added Al Tunaiji.

The DTCM, established in January 1997 by replacing a promotion board that existed for nine years, is the principal authority for planning, supervision and development of tourism in Dubai. Through DTCMÂ’s unwavering efforts, Dubai has secured a leading position on the global tourism map.

DTCM oversees the licensing of hotels, hotel apartments, tour operators, and tour guides. It promotes and markets Dubai across the world through a network of 14 Overseas Representation (OR) offices. The department manages heritage sites and the regionÂ’s first and only dedicated cruise terminal.

The discovery of food triggers and the debut of VivaTouch™ has created a huge demand and new Specialists are immediately needed. This technological breakthrough provides unlimited income potential for anyone wishing to attend the all day training event, coming soon to our area.

Wilsonville, OR (PRWEB) October 23, 2005

Portland has just been named one of only a handful of cities in North America to launch training for VivaTouch™ Specialists. Individuals looking for a new business, and professionals looking to provide additional cutting edge technological services to clients now have a unique opportunity to be among the first in the nation to be trained on the new VivaTouch™ body assessment system. It offers a tremendous opportunity for increased cash flow for savvy entrepreneurs who understand the potential of being the first in the market with the latest hot tool.

"It's so easy to use, and everyone wants to know what their body's response will be!" states Paula Tellegen, one of the first Northwest residents to become a trained Specialist. "I encourage anyone looking for additional income to look into this exciting opportunity immediately."

VivaTouch™, with its exclusive food triggers and proprietary software, will undoubtedly revolutionize the way people eat, control weight and purchase nutritional products.

With VivaTouch, people now have the ability to determine exactly what their body’s unique needs are, with respect to health, skin care, nutrition and most impressively food triggers – those elusive components of your diet that may be preventing weight loss."

The discovery of food triggers was made by award winning physicist Dr. Aharon Friedman, who lost over 100 pounds after realizing what he was eating that was causing his body to retain weight and his blood sugar to fluctuate so dramatically. "Food Triggers are difficult to determine because they are different for every body," he states, and warns "You may be the most conscientious dieter in the world, with tremendous will power and self control, but if you are still eating your food triggers, the excess insulin your body produces will cause fat to be stored, and weight loss to stall. This new technology will finally open the door for everyone to achieve permanent weight loss success!"

VivaTouch™ Specialists will change how people eat and shop for consumer health products, and will offer substantial savings for their clients as they will no longer be buying supplements their body doesn’t need, or wasting time and effort on diets that are working against their body’s natural biological function.

For more information on VivaTouch or becoming a Specialist, contact VivaTouch™ Specialist Paula Tellegen at 877-457-4186.

New Monkeydoos DVD Gets Kids Off the Sofa and Moving to the Music

DVD series continues mission to fight childhood obesity with Monkeydoos "Things That Go!" Newest title in the award-winning Series Swings on to DVD September 19, 2006 from Mazzarella Media.

Bristol, CT (PRWEB) September 4, 2006

The Monkeydoos are back in town and they’re ready to move! Taking your kids on another adventure on the road to adolescent fitness with “Monkeydoos Things That Go!,” the eagerly anticipated addition to the celebrated Monkeydoos Movement and Learning Series DVD library, swings in stores September 19, 2006 from Mazzarella Media.

The Monkeydoos DVD series engages young viewers with a program of simulated movements based on each video’s chosen theme, getting them off the couch and on their feet and helping to stave off childhood obesity -- a growing epidemic nationwide -- all the while creating a fun and energetic experience kids will enjoy again and again. Recommended for ages two and older, “Monkeydoos Things That Go!” will be available for a suggested retail price of $14.95 for the VHS or DVD.

“Monkeydoos Things That Go!” focuses on the world of vehicular motion -- planes, trains, boats, etc. -- combining live action footage of children with computer animation to teach various movements that mirror the featured vessels.

Physical movement, especially when started at younger ages, has proven to develop motor and coordination skills that lead to prolonged health, emotional well-being, potential for improved academic performance, accelerated social adaptation and increased energy. In a series of fun activities set to upbeat original songs, host Maureen Straub and her simian friends Flip, Tumble and Twist welcome youngsters to fly like planes, putter like choo-choo trains and sail like boats.

Songs like “Pogo Stick,” “My Magic Bicycle,” “My Little Red Scooter” and “Surf’s Up” focus on strengthening the legs and increasing balance, while “Paddleboat,” “My Canoe” and “Jet Plane” focus on developing the arms. Stretching is a key part of “Sailboats” and “Hot Air Balloon,” while “Clickety Clack” and “Polly the Trolley” work the body overall. And what kid doesn’t have a blast spinning around, which they can do with glee in “Whizzy the Helicopter.”

Monkeydoos CD soundtrack is also available for a suggested retail price of $12.95. It includes all 12 songs from the DVD and is approximately 20 minutes.

The first title in the Monkeydoos DVD series, “Monkeydoos Gallop, Hop & Stomp” received rave reviews and a Parents’ Choice Approval award. “Gallop, Hop & Stomp” has been redone with new animation and is now called “Go, Go Animals.”

Mazzarella Media is an Emmy award-winning company that develops products to foster the fun and excitement of learning. Their products are designed to get kids thinking about themselves and the world around them and to enhance intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth by stimulating the imagination, nurturing creativity and developing a love for learning.
