(PRWEB) February 16, 2004

Dr. Dale Anderson has been selected as MinnesotaÂ’s Best Speaker for 2003 by Minnesota Meetings & Events magazine. Just announced in the magazineÂ’s Winter 2004 issue, the Best Speaker Award is one of 27 categories that recognize the best meeting and event professionals in the Twin Cities.

"The Minnesota Meetings & Events magazine "Best Of" awards are voted on by readers of our magazine,” says Jacquelyn Fletcher, Editor, Minnesota Meetings & Events. “From all reports, Dr. Dale Anderson is an enthusiastic, fun and motivating speaker that corporate audiences love."

An excerpt from the magazine’s profile on Dr. Anderson states, “Dr. Anderson spreads his humor and holistic healing ideas in speaking engagements across the country. Businesses use Dr. Anderson's motivational speaking to promote positive relationships and team-building among employees.”

Dr. Anderson has been a physician for more than 40 years and is nationally renowned for his presentations on the topics of humor, health, fitness and peak performance. For him, laughter is serious business. It is now scientifically proven that humor, laughter and playing a happy role have dramatic health benefits. According to Dr. Anderson, it is an essential, and often overlooked, part of holistic health.

“Endorphins are the morphine within,” says Dr. Anderson, of Roseville. "When you laugh, you breath deep, sit up straight, and exercise the mind and body. It's a great work out and it sets the stage for improved communication, creativity and productivity. Laughter is something you can bank on.”

In his award-winning book Never Act Your Age, Dr. Anderson identifies method acting techniques that people of any age can use to get their act together “WELL.” The book explains how those who “INNERtain the chemistry of happiness enjoy dramatic health benefits that you can bank on.”

“Fake it till you make it,” says Dr. Anderson. “Chemistry is feelings, and feelings are chemistry. The biggest hurdle for people is to realize that they have the power within themselves to change.”

Native American Entertainment Network Launches New Website Dedicated Exclusively to Indigenous Peoples of North America

Native American Entertainment Network Launches New Website Dedicated Exclusively to Indigenous Peoples of North America

NAE Network offers viewers a look into the incredibly diverse worlds of many North American cultures through documentaries, news magazines, dramas and cultural specials.

Bellingham, WA (PRWEB) March 11, 2010

Native American Entertainment Network (NAE Network) (www. naenetwork. com (http://www. naenetwork. com)) presents free web-based, video content featuring Aboriginal stories and news. As a voice for Indigenous Peoples, NAE Network provides an important avenue for cultural representation in mainstream media. The launch on February 20, 2010, was groundbreaking because Indigenous Peoples across North America are now able to share their stories with the rest of the world through one website.

Historically there have been few, if any, programs about Indigenous Peoples that have been accessible to the general public. NAE Network is the first site of its kind in the U. S. to bridge this gap, with a goal to preserve cultures and traditions of tribes across the continental United States, Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska. The website offers viewers a look into the incredibly diverse worlds of many North American cultures through documentaries, news magazines, dramas and cultural specials.

“Native American Entertainment Network is an empowering resource for all Indigenous Peoples of North America,” says renowned Tlingit storyteller, performer and NAE Network Board Member Gene Tagaban. “It provides a means for our People to tell their stories and come together through the arts—strengthening a sense of pride and honor in who we are historically and moving forward into the future.”

NAE Network is aimed at both Native and non-Native audiences with content to interest all viewers. The network is continually adding new stories and features to their online library. Video categories include: news, government, sports, health and wellness, lifestyle, arts and entertainment, history and biography, culture and tradition. Other features highlight news, resources and events relevant to North American indigenous communities.

About NAE Network
Established in 2009, NAE Network provides a voice to the spirit of empowerment and honor for all Indigenous Peoples of our continent. For advertising, programming or more information on how to become a part of NAE, please visit the website at www. naenetwork. com (http://www. naenetwork. com).

Tiny Heart Pumps Offer Hand Hope as Heart Failure Advances, From the Harvard Heart Letter

Tiny Heart Pumps Offer Hand Hope as Heart Failure Advances, From the Harvard Heart Letter

Heart pumps the size of two D batteries offer hope, help, and more time for thousands of people with failing hearts who are enduring the long wait for a transplant or who aren't eligible for one.

Boston, MA (Vocus/PRWEB) January 12, 2011

Heart pumps the size of two D batteries offer hope, help, and more time for thousands of people with failing hearts who are enduring the long wait for a transplant or who aren't eligible for one. These small pumps, known as left ventricular assist devices, take over the work of the left ventricle, but don't replace it, explains the January 2011 issue of the Harvard Heart Letter.

A left ventricular assist device doesn't tie the user to bed or confine him or her to home. Instead, rechargeable batteries attached to a belt or worn in a vest power the pump for 10 hours or more, allowing the user to go to the store, dance, garden, travel, and do other normal mobile activities.

Although left ventricular assist devices seem to be just what the doctor ordered for thousands of people with advanced heart failure, they come with personal costs for the recipient and his or her family, and big financial costs for the health care system, cautions the Harvard Heart Letter. The price tag for one left ventricular assist device and its associated equipment, the operation to implant it, the week-long recovery time in the hospital, and the follow-up medical care is close to $200,000. How long the devices will work is another big uncertainty. Although one recipient lived with his for seven years, the average is likely to be less than that.

Once a fairly experimental option, left ventricular assist devices are beginning to edge into mainstream cardiovascular care. Their use in one high-profile recipient—former Vice President Dick Cheney—suggests they will become more widely used.
