OH NO! Musicians Launch New Loud Music Festival

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Winnipeg, MB (PRWEB) March 18, 2014

Canada’s night to celebrate music, the Juno Awards, is heading to Winnipeg and local artists have come together to create their own alternative to the official Junofest activities. Dubbed the O(h) No! Festival, this collaboration of musicians, comedians and local clubs will showcase Winnipeg talent throughout downtown between March 26th and 29th.

“Being somewhat secluded from other major cities, it’s not very often that the music industry comes to us,” said event organizer Rock Trembath. “Although the Junofest team does their best to highlight local content, we felt that there was a lot of quality music that needed places to be heard during the week.”

O(h) NO! festival features 30 musical acts across four days while also including a stand up comedy competition and awards presentations at each event. “We really want to create something fun, eclectic and unique to Winnipeg,” Trembath continued. “It’s been great to see everyone willing to work together to make this happen.”

Local record labels Eat’em Up Records and DEAFWISH came together to plan the music focused events and local stand-up comedian Dan Goldberg is set to host the comedy showdown. Additional support is being provided by the Manitoba Facial Hair club and downtown urban journal, the Uniter.

"I'd really like to see Manitoba's 'year of music' be a positive thing for the entire music community, but so far it only seems to be benefiting a very small and specific portion of the amazing people that create, write about and listen to music,” says Nicholas Friesen, Managing Editor of The Uniter. “What O(h) No! Fest is doing is a great reaction to this - providing a multi-venue/multi-genre experience that features local artists.”

Wednesday night kicks off with with Eat’em Up Records hosting a headlining performance by Montreal act Mark Sultan at the Windsor Hotel. Thursday will see the comedy king crowned at the A.N.A.F. 60 in Osbourne Village. Friday will stage 10 bands at 2 venues with the festival wrapping up on Saturday with a full day of acts from the indie pop, rock, punk and hip hop genres. Aside from its local focus, the O(h) NO! Festival also caters to the all ages crowd.

“A majority of Junofest showcases are 18+, so we felt it was important to provide all ages options in the downtown area,” Trembath shared. “Seeing live music when I was 14 or 15 really affected me and I wanted to help make that opportunity available here in Winnipeg.”

For more information about the festival, including venue information, pricing and set times. Vist the official O(h) NO! Festival page at: http://www.deafwish.com/ohno.

Acromag’s New Analog Input Ethernet Modules Pack 16 Channels Into An Inch-Wide Unit to Save Space and Costs

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Wixom, MI (PRWEB) March 18, 2014

Acromag has released two of their newest models in the BusWorks® XT Series of Ethernet I/O modules. The XT1230 and XT1240 models provide a 16-channel interface for single-ended analog current or voltage input signals with Ethernet/IP, Modbus/TCP, Profinet, or i2o® peer-to-peer communication. The space-saving inch-wide design features dual Ethernet ports, removable front-facing terminal blocks, and DIN rail power bus support. Its convenient USB-to-PC connection and free Windows software makes configuration quick and uncomplicated. Suitable for use in harsh environments, all modules operate from -40 to 70 degrees C with noise immunity, surge protection, and CE compliance. UL/cUL Class 1 Division 2 Zone 2 hazardous location approval is pending. All units are available at $595 USD each.

“We are continually expanding the BusWorks XT Series in order to provide more modules with even greater versatility,” explained Acromag sales manager Rob Frewald. “Beyond our digital offerings, we now support up to 16 channels of analog input for our customers to squeeze in more channels at a lower cost, even when space is scarce.”

The XT1230 accepts current inputs of 0-11mA, 0-20mA, 4-20mA, +/-20mA, or 0-20 amps AC with optional toroid sensor. The XT1240 accommodates +/- 5V, +/- 10V, 0-5V, or 0-10V input ranges. All units run off a 12-32V DC power source (2.8W) at the terminals or through an integrated power connector bussed along the DIN rail that can provide primary or redundant power. Each model offers a choice of Ethernet/IP, Profinet, or Modbus TCP/IP protocols with peer-to-peer i2o communication support. Dual 10/100 Ethernet ports allow daisy-chaining units together to simplify cabling and minimize the network switches required, reducing overall system costs.

For even more dependable communication, BusWorks XT units employ Innovasic PriorityChannel technology which makes certain that critical data is received on time regardless of traffic on the network. PriorityChannel provides determinism at the device for consistent transmission of time-sensitive data with any of the Ethernet protocols.

Many other features add greater flexibility and performance. High input impedance reduces loading on voltage loops with XT1240 models, with the XT1230 models’ low input impedance reduces loading on current loops. The configuration software enables use of sample averaging on a per-channel basis. For reliability, operation and diagnostic LEDs offer visual status updates and aid in trouble-shooting.

They are an international corporation with a world headquarters near Detroit, Michigan and a global network of sales representatives and distributors.

Atlantic Information Services Webinar to Discuss Pharmacy Coverage on Public Exchanges

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Washington, DC (PRWEB) March 18, 2014

The success of the pharmacy benefit on public insurance exchanges could serve as a leading indicator for how well qualified health plans (QHPs) themselves are performing. No other benefit is as widely used and visible as that of drug coverage — one of 10 essential health benefits that now must be included in small-group and individual policies sold on the exchanges. As the open-enrollment deadline approaches, many insurers are taking a close look at their pharmacy benefits to see if their initial pricing and design assumptions will hold up to the reality of the new marketplace. The March 27 webinar from Atlantic Information Services, Inc. (AIS) “Pharmacy Coverage on Public Exchanges: How Plans Can Ensure Access While Controlling Costs,” will outline how to create attractive products that offer ample drug coverage in exchanges while keeping costs down.

Julie Huppert, vice president of health care reform at Express Scripts Holding Co., and Caroline Pearson, vice president at Avalere Health LLC, will present for 60 minutes and follow with 30 minutes devoted to individual questions. Participants will get reliable answers to these and other big-dollar questions:
What lessons can plans draw from QHPs’ pharmacy benefit designs three months after the exchanges went live?What key changes will plans and PBMs likely make to their pharmacy benefit designs for 2015?Which benefit designs are inviting adverse selection because of too-generous pharmacy benefits, and what changes should QHPs make to fix the situation?Which benefit designs are triggering member backlash over too much cost sharing, and what steps should plans take without increasing overall costs of the benefit?How widespread are narrow pharmacy networks, and how much in savings does this model achieve?How should insurers respond to HHS’s ambiguous position on whether QHPs are commercial plans or federal health care programs?What lessons can be learned from Medicare Part D and the commercial arena?

Wild Animals Hunt for Easter Eggs in Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Naples, Florida (PRWEB) March 31, 2014

There are lots of places around town where kids can hunt for Easter eggs, but just one place where wild animals do the hunting! And that’s the focus of the fun during a special three-day event in Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens. From Good Friday, April 18 to Easter Sunda, April 20, 2014, zoo guests will enjoy watching animals claw and gnaw into special treat-filled eggs. And for the eighth year in a row, residents from Southwest Florida Brookdale Senior Living communities are helping out the Easter Bunny and Naples Zoo’s professional keepers by preparing large colorful papier-mâché eggs for tigers, anteaters, honey badgers, and more.

Why give eggs to animals? Proper animal husbandry includes the basics of cleaning, behavioral observation, nutritional diets, record keeping, and veterinary care, as well as enrichment programs. Professional zookeepers develop enrichment activities to keep animals mentally stimulated. This includes not only the obvious toys for the animal to play with (or destroy), but also may include inter-species interaction, supplemental foraging activities, and even the use of scents to increase curiosity about objects. With a proper rotation of activities, animals have the opportunity to consistently engage in something fun or thought provoking. The various large Easter eggs will be scented and/or filled with small tasty treats appropriate to the species – from raw beef to fruity snacks.

About Brookdale
With an outstanding reputation in their field, Brookdale Senior Living currently operates more than 650 communities in 36 states and the ability to serve over 67,000 residents across the nation. The company is committed to providing an exceptional living experience through properties that are designed, purpose-built and operated to provide the highest-quality service, care and living accommodations for residents.

In a show of support for the National Day of Silence on April 11, 2014, Joseph Nogucci will donate 10 percent of its proceeds from the sale of the designer jewelry piece titled the Rainbow Pride bracelet to the It Gets Better ™ Project. The National Day of Silence is a day of action in which students across the country vow to take a form of silence to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools.

It Gets Better ™ is a worldwide movement created in 2010 by syndicated columnist and author Dan Savage and his partner Terry Miller who created a YouTube video to inspire hope for young people facing harassment in school. The mission of the nonprofit is to communicate to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth around the world that “it gets better” and to create and inspire the changes needed to make it better for them.

“Wearers of the Rainbow Pride bracelet help further the message behind It Gets Better ™ with a visual reminder of tolerance, support and hope,” said Luca Daniel of Joseph Nogucci.

The Rainbow Pride bracelet is available online on the Joseph Nogucci website and is a beautiful and affordable way (on sale for $29) for LGBT supporters to show their pride and individuality. This exemplary piece of designer jewelry is hand-woven from rhodium-plated charms and hand-finished with brilliant enamel polish using all of the colors in the rainbow, a common symbol used in gay pride flags since the 1970s to represent the diversity of the LGBT community.

The Rainbow Pride bracelet includes the following colors: violet, red, orange, yellow, green and indigo/blue coordinating with each color’s meaning (respectively): spirit, life, healing, sunlight, nature and serenity/harmony. Owners of the bracelet can draw from any and all of the inspirational meanings behind each color.

Brothers Mario Christian and Luca Daniel fuse art and architecture to create over 500+ unique pieces of designer jewelry with their own branded line of beads and charms that ship globally.

The project has grown rapidly: over 200 videos were uploaded in the first week, and the project's YouTube channel reached the 650 video limit in the next week.

Mednick Associates Adds Medical Advisory Board Comprised of Top Tier Post-Clinical Career Physicians to Suite of Legal Services

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Wilton, CT (PRWEB) March 31, 2014

Mednick Associates added three post-clinical career physicians to its new Medical Advisory Board. The Medical Advisory Board, consisting of the following doctors, works together to provide attorneys a concise research-based opinion on the merit of their medically related cases. The board combines the knowledge and experience of these top-tier physicians:

Dr. Gerald Berg, MD

A principle at Medical Legal Consultants, LLC, he is triple boarded in radiology and nuclear and internal medicine. In addition to his duties as a clinical professor and leader within various medical organizations, Dr. Berg is devoted to medical-legal work and assisting litigators with case analysis. His past clinical career saw him as a physician staff member of the Yale-New Haven Hospital as well as Founder and Chairman of his private radiology practice at Waterbury Hospital Health Center. A graduate of the University of Rochester School of Medicine, Dr. Berg’s diverse clinical career and expertise makes him well-versed to review a multitude of cases in various disciplines.

Dr. Robert Lehman, MD

A principle in the company Medical Legal Consultants, LLC, he is dual board certified in radiology and nuclear medicine, as well as a graduate of the NYU Langone School of Medicine. Prior to his retirement from full-time clinical practice in 2012, Dr. Lehman founded his own practice in 1976. For 15 years, Dr. Lehman was the Chairman of the radiology department at St. Mary’s Hospital in Connecticut while also participating as a hospital board member and radiation safety officer. In addition to numerous hospital committee appointments, Dr. Lehman’s wide range of clinical acumen allows him to provide expertise on both adult and pediatric cases and radiological film and image interpretation.

Dr. Steven Wilkins, MD/JD

After a distinguished career as a general, critical care and trauma surgeon at various hospitals in the NYC area, Dr. Wilkins sought to marry his medical expertise with the legal profession. He did so in 2004, and upon his graduation from Hofstra University School of Law, transitioned his professional career to providing top tier research-based medical guidance to medical malpractice litigators. His unique combination of medical and legal knowledge is a valuable combination for assessing the viability and merit of medical malpractice claims. Due to his prior medical career, Dr. Wilkins is qualified to review adult and pediatric cases, especially those involving critical care settings.

Mednick still offers free case screenings with initial expert opinions for all clients. However, certain cases require a more in-depth analysis to determine their merit. Mednick’s Medical Advisory Board is available to assist with medically related cases that are complex, have gray areas, or can swing either way. The analysis provided by the Medical Advisory Board is compiled in the form of a written confidential work memo. Medical Advisory Board services are offered at a flat rate of $795 per case with no additional fees or hidden costs.

If you are interested in learning more about the new Medical Advisory Board, medical expert witnesses, legal nurse consulting, or further case services, please call 1-888-MEDNICK or email cases(at)mednickasssociates(dot)com.

In business for over 20 years, Mednick Associates is a leader in medical expert witnesses, medical chronologies and legal nurse case consultation.

The popularity of sunless tanning is growing throughout the world as the traditional tanning is no longer preferred because of its adverse health effects. Hollywood Airbrush Tanning Academy has not only done a commendable job of spreading the concept of spray tanning throughout the country, but they have also created an alternative career choice for people as professional spray tanning experts.

Research Finds Diabetes Risk Factors May Increase Bladder Cancer Severity, According to Cancer Monthly

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) March 31, 2014

A team of Turkish urology specialists have concluded that bladder cancer is more likely to be of a higher stage and grade in patients who also suffer from metabolic syndrome or diabetes. The results of their new analysis have just been posted on the on Cancer Monthly website. Click here to read the article.

Doctors at the Okmeydani Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul analyzed the cases of more than 500 people who had bladder cancer surgery at their hospital between 2005 and 2011. People with larger waistlines, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure and/or high fasting blood sugar – conditions associated with metabolic syndrome – tended to have more serious forms of bladder cancer.

“The patients with metabolic syndrome were found to have statistically significant higher T stage and grade of bladder cancer,” concludes lead author Dr. Emin Ozbek.

The new study was published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention. Most of the bladder cancer patients were men and most had urothelial cell carcinoma (also called transitional cell carcinoma), the most common form of bladder cancer among diabetics.

“Although we know that diabetic patients face higher risk of bladder cancer, not much has been written about bladder cancer and metabolic syndrome,” says Alex Strauss, Managing Editor of Cancer Monthly. “This study is yet another reason for people with these kinds of metabolic risk factors to address them now.”

To read the details of the study, including what made the bladder cancer tumors more serious in the metabolic syndrome patients, see Metabolic Syndrome Linked to Bladder Cancer Severity, available now on the Cancer Monthly website.

Ozbek, E et al, “Association between the Metabolic Syndrome and High Tumor Grade and Stage of Primary Urothelial Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder”, 2014, Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, pp. 1447-1451. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24606481

For over ten years, Cancer Monthly has been the only centralized source of cancer treatment results. Patients can see the actual survival rate, quality-of-life indicators, and other key data for approximately 1,500 different cancer treatments. Cancer Monthly provides timely and ground-breaking news on the causes, diagnoses and treatments of the most common cancers including Bladder, Brain, Breast, Colon, Kidney (Renal), Liver, Lung (NSCLC), Ovarian, Prostate and Rectal Cancers, Melanoma, Mesothelioma, and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Mobile Cloud Labs Granted Patent for Location and Temporal Mobile Tracking and Advertising Technology

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
London (PRWEB) March 31, 2014

Mobile Cloud Labs Plc., developers of high-quality applications for smartphones, handheld devices, and portable computers, has been granted a provisional patent for its ground-breaking technology that provides both location and temporal tracking of mobile device users. The patented technology makes it possible to pinpoint users in time and space in order to deliver targeted messages, and serves as the technology that powers the AdAbout mobile advertising network.

Analysts predict that spending on global mobile advertising will reach $18 billion in 2014, and the market will grow to nearly $42 billion by 2017, stating that some of the largest areas of growth will be due to better tracking and location for these ads. Mobile Cloud Labs’ patented mobile tracking platform is one of the first technical solutions to enable advertisers to track users and deliver promotional messages using time and location.

Current social media trends are growing in the “where am I and what am I doing right now”, with the patent pending technology Mobile Cloud Labs has developed it can offer on time, on target and on demand ads geared towards the social media crowd.

“No one has truly cracked the code for effective mobile advertising until now,” said Richard Sylvester, CEO of Mobile Cloud Labs Plc. “Mobile technology is evolving quickly, and there are companies doing some extraordinary things with mobile marketing, but we plan to attack this market with a unique patent pending process that is sure to be a success. The technology is incredibly versatile so the applications are almost endless.”

For example, using Mobile Cloud Labs upcoming tracking platform, advertisers can deliver instant coupons and promotions, such as a discount for coffee when you walk by Starbucks, or an instant coupon and directions to Starbucks when you walking into a competing Dunkin Donuts shop. The technology uses proximity, making it possible to offer ads based on location, and temporal tracking, to make offers specific to a time or date and a specific location. For example, if a consumer walks by a restaurant at noon, the system can deliver a lunch-related promotion. The system can even time-stamp an offer, for example “Join us for lunch in the next 15 minutes and 15 percent off.” The system also can be set to make pre-scheduled offers at specific times, such as Tuesdays and Thursdays between 11:30 and 1:30.

Part of what makes Mobile Cloud Labs’ location and temporal tracking system unique is that it tracks users with extreme accuracy without the use of the battery draining GPS positioning systems, cell tower triangulation or Wi-Fi triangulation. That means it will work virtually anywhere.

About Mobile Cloud Labs Plc
Mobile Cloud Labs are developers and marketers of high-quality applications for smartphones, tablet computers, and laptops with offices in England and the United States.

OpenView Helps Intronis Build Successful Business Development Function

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Boston, MA (PRWEB) March 31, 2014

OpenView Venture Partners, an expansion-stage venture capital firm focused on providing its technology companies with deep operational support, published a case study today about the work it has done to help cloud-based backup and recovery software company Intronis create its business development function. Entitled “Joining forces to Build a High-Impact Lead Qualification Machine,” the case study chronicles the work that OpenView has done over the past five years to recruit, train, and optimize Intronis’s BDR team.

In 2009, when Intronis first engaged OpenView, it was growing steadily and looking for a better way to qualify key prospects and convert them into long-term customers. However, the company was predominantly focused on the leads it was generating from inbound sources, and had not yet established a formal business development or outbound lead generation function. Working in partnership with OpenView, which had led its Series A round in 2007, the company was able to make great strides toward building its BDR team. OpenView helped Intronis:

"We work with our portfolio companies to solve the challenges they are facing and add significant operational value where their businesses need it most,” said OpenView’s Director of Growth Strategy, Devon McDonald. “Intronis had the growth potential, it just needed a better system for fueling that growth. That’s where we were able to step in and help.”

Today, Intronis’s BDR team is responsible for more than 80 percent of the company’s new revenue.

“Don’t get me wrong, the numbers are nice,” said Intronis’s Vice President of Sales. “But the biggest thing for me is the genuinely collaborative partnership that we’ve developed with OpenView. Devon has really become a trusted partner and advisor within our company. If we’re planning to implement changes or adjust our strategy, I always run it by her. That just speaks to the level confidence that we have in OpenView.”

Rhode Island Medical Imaging Named Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
East Providence, RI (PRWEB) March 18, 2014

The American College of Radiology (ACR) has named Rhode Island Medical Imaging (RIMI) one of the first outpatient diagnostic imaging Center of Excellence (COE) in the country. This award, which recognizes a distinctive level of excellence in diagnostic imaging, was presented on March 7, 2014.

“We are pleased to recognize Rhode Island Medical Imaging for their excellence in diagnostic imaging, and for their commitment to superior patient care,” said Debra Monticciolo, MD, chair of the American College of Radiology Quality and Safety Commission. “RIMI is among the first outpatient facilities in the nation and in the Northeast to receive this honor. Achieving Center of Excellence status really sets RIMI’s quality apart and we commend them for this great accomplishment.”

In order to be considered as a Center of Excellence (COE), at a minimum, facilities must be accredited by the ACR in all modalities they provide. An ACR survey team comprised of a radiologist, a medical physicist and an ACR administrator reviews all aspects of the facility’s operations, such as safety policies, equipment specifications, patient outcomes, quality control systems, utilization reviews, and personnel. The diagnostic imaging COE award takes accreditation to a much higher level and offers recipients the unique ability to set the benchmark for superior quality diagnostic imaging.

“I thank the American College of Radiology for this tremendous honor,” said John Pezzullo, MD, president of Rhode Island Medical Imaging. “At RIMI, our board certified radiologists, registered technologists and professional office staff are all committed to enhancing the overall patient experience through state-of-the-art diagnostic care. This achievement recognizes our commitment to quality and communicates to our patients and referring physicians that they can always rely on RIMI for world class medical imaging.”

RIMI radiologists hold faculty positions at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and sub specialize in all areas of medical imaging, including women’s imaging; bone, joint and muscle imaging; neurology; cardiology; and pediatrics. Furthermore, RIMI radiologists are on staff at Rhode Island Hospital, Women & Infants, Hasbro Children’s Hospital and The Miriam Hospital.

For more information, call Rhode Island Medical Imaging at (401) 432-2400.

Cost Effective Visualization and Boom System Now Available for Minimally Invasive Surgery

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 31, 2014

CompView Medical, a leading provider of integrated audio-visual systems for healthcare environments and manufacturer of NuBOOM®, the world’s first all-in-one equipment manager, visualization, and ergonomic boom system, announces the NuBOOM S. The NuBOOM S provides HD images to surgeons during minimally invasive surgery, while providing an equipment organizational system that removes trip hazards and clutter to improve staff and patient safety. The NuBOOM S is the third in the family of NuBOOM models, designed to meet the budgetary needs and technical requirements of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and office based surgery centers (OBLs). Now the cost saving approach of a floor anchored boom system can be realized in the growing entrepreneurial surgery market.

NuBOOM has been widely adopted by hospitals worldwide as a means of cost effectively upgrading out-of-date operating rooms with modern, minimally invasive surgery visualization equipment. Previous models of the NuBOOM were developed and marketed to hospitals where a wide range of procedures and imaging technology required a one-size-fits-all product platform, capable of efficiently managing the hospital’s complexities. Since ASCs and OBLs have a limited number of procedures they are authorized to perform, they typically have much less variability in the types of diagnostic imaging equipment used.

There are about 5,000 licensed hospitals that provide in-patient surgery, CompView Medical’s (CMV) traditional customer base. However, ASCs and OBLs now account for almost twice the number of outpatient surgery locations with approximately 6,100 and 3,600 sites respectively. The ASC and OBL market is essentially untapped and NuBoom S will provide this segment with the standard of care they are accustomed to finding in large hospitals.

“NuBOOM has been an ideal visualization solution for our busy endoscopy unit,” said Dr. Dr. Isaac Raijman MD, FACP, AGAF, FASGE of Digestive Associates of Houston, P.A. “We have two systems installed and they provide excellent quality images and help us to minimize room turnover time. CompView’s technicians accommodated our surgery schedule to avoid disruption and there was virtually no downtime associated with the installation of the NuBOOM. It has been reliable and I am very pleased with its performance.”

“Our surgery clients asked us to develop a NuBoom product addressing the ASC and OBL environment with a smaller foot print, fewer monitors, lower costs, and we are tremendously excited to deliver such a product,” said Paul White, President of CVM. “The economics of healthcare are driving an increasing number of surgical procedures from hospitals to ASCs and OBLs and surgeons expect to have the same quality of visualization outside of the hospital. NuBOOM S provides that assurance with state-of-the-art HD images and ergonomically comfortable arms for the surgeon.”

The NuBOOM S has a suggested MSRP of $55K USD. With installation possible in just a day, it helps customers avoid costly OR downtime due to construction. Since NuBOOM is anchored to the floor, instead of being suspended from the OR ceiling, expensive remodeling to reinforce the ceiling is avoided. Additionally, it is easily removed from a leasehold should the surgery center relocate.

If you are with the media and would like to receive a product demonstration at AORN Expo, please visit CVM’s partner, GE Healthcare, at booth #5325, McCormick Center, Chicago, IL, March 31, 2014.

About CompView Medical:
CVM is the manufacturer of the NuBOOM- the world's first all-in-one equipment management, visualization and ergonomic boom appliance. The NuBOOM assists hospitals desiring to retrofit out-of-date operating rooms with modern visualization technology for minimally invasive surgery. NuBOOM is installed in operating rooms in two days, minimizing disruption to OR schedules and staff. CompView Medical was founded in 2006. For more information, visit http://www.nuboom.com.

Norman Chamber of Commerce Welcomes City’s First Active Living Community

AppId is over the quota
Norman, Okla. (PRWEB) March 31, 2014

Officials conducted a groundbreaking ceremony for The Enclave, the city's first 55 and up living community, on March 24 at 2 p.m.

The community boasts luxury homes and amenities including a putting green, outdoor kitchen, pool and fitness facilities.

Zan Waldenville of real estate agency, the Learia Group, highlights exclusive details of the community.

“From the first day we began thinking about the Enclave we wanted a community that was not only exclusive, but functional and beautiful,” Waldenville said.

Waldenville's business partner and co-owner of the Learia Group, Lisa Talley, expressed agreement with Waldenville’s sentiment.

"[Zan] is spot-on," Talley said. "We wanted to give mature members of the Norman community a one-of-a-kind place to call home. I think we've achieved that with the Enclave."

According to the United States Census Bureau, residents ages 55 and over make up 20.7 percent, or 22,961, of Norman’s total population. While many would quickly discredit baby boomers' activity level, Chamber President CEO, John Woods, disagrees.

“The baby boomer generation is an active, engaged generation and this development can help enrich the lives of its residents,” Woods said.

Woods goes on to highlight the potential for the Enclave to enhance opportunities for not only mature populations, but those considering Norman as a home as well.

“Quality housing with a targeted audience can only enhance the opportunities for current residents of Norman and people looking to move here,” Chamber President CEO, John Woods said.

The Enclave is Norman’s first active living community for ages 55 and up. Handled by real estate agency, The Learia Group, the Enclave features six custom-designed homes and floor plans to fit residents’ every need. For more information contact Lisa Talley or Zan Waldenville at 405-701-8881.

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) March 18, 2014

Pearson, the world’s leading learning company, released a new study today on the changes digital data will bring to future of learning. Pearson’s Vice President of Learning Analytics Dr. John Behrens and Senior Research Scientist Dr. Kristen DiCerbo wrote the report, Impacts of the Digital Ocean on Education, detailing how data, social technology and gaming will all be at the forefront of education in the future.

Eighty-five percent of teachers in the United States already use technology in their classrooms daily. Personalized learning at scale will become a reality as this digital world of teaching and learning increases. The report says that with the increase in data accessibility, educators will be able to use existing digital teaching tools and techniques to better collect information about learners’ activities in testing and non-testing environments. The end result is a better understanding of a learner’s knowledge and skills, which can help determine the next best step in learning for an individual.

Specifically, the report identifies six areas of impact:
    Interaction: Computers will score a much wider range of responses from students, allowing teachers to provide more meaningful assessments of student learning and enabling them to personalize instruction accordingly.    Data: Evidence-based interactions between the learners and the learning material will help educators understand learners’ processes when solving problems, not just their final products.    Pattern Seeking: Analysis of anonymous data will enable teachers and researchers to uncover new patterns that may provide evidence about learning behavior.    Immediate Feedback: Rapid interpretation of data will enable teachers to provide immediate feedback to learners, and help administrators to provide targeted feedback to teachers.    Learner Profiles: Connecting information enables educators to build a more intelligent and complete understanding of learners, ensuring that the relationships between what is observed and the inferences drawn are as valid as possible.    Activity Recommendation: With a wide range of data and a better understanding of processes, educators will be able to determine the best subsequent activity for the learner’s effort to meet a particular goal (e.g., motivation).

Drs. Behrens and DiCerbo argue that while tools and processes must change, the true challenge to realizing a more personalized learning experience is a change in thinking. They pose questions that push educators and policy-makers to embrace the possibilities offered by new information sources and social learning:

?    How should the growing supply of learning data change the use of periodic tests and assessments?
?    How can technology be used to help teachers take advantage of the “digital ocean,” rather than be drowned in it?
?    How can we end the distinction between informal and formal learning?
?    How will teachers, technology providers, schools or governments deal with issues such as privacy and security?

Pearson’s Chief Education Advisor Sir Michael Barber says of Impacts of the Digital Ocean on Education, “This report sets out boldly the impact that digital technology combined with data could have on student outcomes. 'The digital ocean' the authors describe will enable teachers to develop and refine evidence-based practice better than ever before."

Fort Worth, TX (PRWEB) March 31, 2014

Minds and drills are beginning to buzz with excitement as dentists prepare for an immensely popular and immersive program in Texas that will teach them to increase their profits and productivity without compromising quality of care. The event takes place May 15-17.

“We encourage dentists and team members to attend,” said Vicki McManus, CEO and cofounder of Productive Dentist Academy, the outfit organizing the event. “Because doing so will benefit them by creating a shared philosophy of time management, customer service, and a systematic approach to being more productive.”

“For me, understanding productivity has become almost a game,” said Dr. Bruce Baird, cofounder and president of the Academy. “How can I become more productive? It’s not about how fast you can do something like build a crown, it’s about how well can I take care of the patient and how well business systems can be put into place so everything else runs smoothly and naturally.”

Productive dentists, he adds, accomplish this amazing feat by helping teams overcome access to care issues. Americans today are having a tough time affording their medical and dental care. Our methods of extending fair and flexible financial options create a win-win for the dental practice and the patient.

Productive Dentist Academy's productivity workshop is a total immersion, three-day program designed for doctors and teams who want to consistently produce $1,250 per hour—in any geographic market.

2 Your Health Publishes Easy Low Potassium Shopping List for Kidney Patients

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Hickory, North Carolina (PRWEB) March 31, 2014

Potassium is a vital nutrient that affects nerves and muscles. Keeping the right balance of potassium in your body is vital to keep you healthy and on the move. Too much potassium in your system can cause things like an irregular heartbeat.

The good news is that if you eat too much food with high potassium levels, the kidney excretes the excess potassium as a self-regulating mechanism. The bad news is that many people have kidney issues including chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the kidney does not perform this function well.

So they need to be more conscious about regulating their potassium intake and not rely on their kidneys to do the job.

Registered dietitian and blogger Carla Spencer has produced a handy, free downloadable list of "50 Foods Low in Potassium" which can be accessed at http://www.2yourhealth.com/ckd-diet-50-low-potassium-foods.

This list includes several categories of common foods like fruits, vegetables, breads, meats, and even name brand soft drinks.

Milligrams of potassium are listed for each item with easy reference to food quantities.

This makes a great one-page companion for grocery store visits of those keeping an eye on their potassium levels.

Other posts on 2YourHealth.com are helpful from a food consumption standpoint for those dealing with poorly functioning kidneys. Topics of related posts include "Kidney Disease Foods to Avoid", "How to Improve Kidney Function in 5 Steps", "Advice On Taking Herbs for Kidney Health", "17 Kidney Friendly Foods to Savor", and more.
