MyCUsurvey Launches Standardized Employee Engagement Survey to Assess Employee Satisfaction for Credit Unions


Newest Survey Service Provides Cost-Effective, Turnkey Tool for Credit Union Managers to Measure Branch Performance Using Seven Key Performance Metrics.

EMERYVILLE, Calif. (June 07, 2011) -- MyCUsurvey (http://www.mycusurvey.com), the latest online, low-cost, web-based research tool designed specifically for credit unions, today announced the release of the MyCUsurvey Employee Engagement Survey. This new research service has been designed specifically to provide credit union managers with an affordable, standardized approach to conduct employee satisfaction surveys to help gauge branch performance. The new Employee Engagement Survey will be demonstrated for the first time at ACUC, the America’s Credit Union Conference and Expo, June 19 – 21, in San Antonio, Texas.

MyCUsurvey’s Employee Engagement Survey was created specifically for credit unions to measure employee loyalty and satisfaction. Rather than creating your own survey, MyCUsurvey offers preconfigured survey templates designed specifically for credit union managers, measuring seven key areas of employee satisfaction. The Employee Engagement Survey measures:

- The Management Team, including the strengths and effectiveness of executive staff;
- Teamwork, including morale and shared goals of the team;
- The Mission and Goals of the Credit Union, including understanding and commitment to the mission and goals;
- Opportunities for Growth, including promotional opportunities, compensation, benefits, and training;
- Communications, especially whether internal communications are clear, fair, and effective;
- Standard of Quality, such as accountability and the effectiveness of doing business; and
- Likelihood of Respondents to Recommend the credit unions to family and friends.

The surveys are conducted using MyCUsurvey’s integrated Web/IVR (interactive voice response) system so there is no risk of interviewer bias.

“Our latest member satisfaction benchmark survey reveals that the in-branch and telephone experience is a crucial factor in promoting member loyalty. That means employee satisfaction is more important than ever, since happy credit union staff is more likely to promote a positive member experience,” said Dr. Jack Bieda, founder of MyCUsurvey. “Any credit union that cares about customer service needs to assess employee satisfaction regularly to make sure their branches are delivering the best possible member experience.”

Like the MyCUsurvey member satisfaction survey, the Employee Engagement Survey is delivered using standardized templates, and the results accessed through the MyCUsurvey web portal, so there is no need to hire additional staff to compose the survey and compile the results. Surveys are available starting at $700 for 100 employee responses.

MyCUsurvey also offers a branch member satisfaction survey. Other surveys, including an Overall Satisfaction Survey, Loan and Services Survey, Competitive Survey, and Lost Account Survey, are scheduled for release later this year. For more information, visit http://www.mycusurvey.com.

IAPAM's Physician hCG Training Leads the Industry


The IAPAM is committed to educating physicians in the industry’s best practices for hCG for weight loss. In support of this commitment, the IAPAM's hCG Training offers physicians an hGG Training program of unsurpassed clinical and business content on hCG and medical weight management. Attendees receive all the tools needed to launch an hCG for weight loss program, and graduates of the IAPAM's hCG Training say it is the best in the industry.

Las Vegas, NV, June 07, 2011 -- Obesity is an epidemic in the United States, and more and more patients are requesting hCG for weight loss programs from their physicians. In a recent interview to KATV in Arkansas (http://www.katv.com/story/14688505/hcg-diet-helps-shed-weight-fast-but-is-it-safe), Dr. Suzanne Yee, a cosmetic surgeon in Little Rock and an attendee of the IAPAM's hCG Physician Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training), attested to the popularity and success of hCG for weight loss. "It decreases your appetite," says Dr. Yee, "so you don't feel hungry even though you're on a 500-calorie diet. And it mobilizes 1000 to 1500 calories of fat from your own body."

However, before launching an hCG for Weight Loss program, physicians must be expertly trained in the delivery of an hCG Protocol to ensure success and safety for their patients.

The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has created the most comprehensive hCG for Medical Weight Management program. Physicians and their staff learn the exclusive IAPAM hCG for Weight Loss Protocol, based on Dr. Simeons manuscript, Pounds and Inches (http://www.iapam.com/dr-simeons-pounds-and-inches-manuscript.html). Physicians, who attend the IAPAM’s hCG training learn hCG best practices from the IAPAM’s members and faculty (physicians, pharmacists, laser assisted lipolysis specialists and business experts), all of whom have years of experience utilizing hCG for weight loss, and many of whom operate successful hCG weight loss clinics.

The IAPAM's program gives physicians "everything they need to start offering hCG and medical weight loss programs to their patients immediately upon returning to their practices," emphasizes Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM, and one of the IAPAM faculty instructors presenting at the IAPAM's hCG training. The IAPAM seminar includes:

- A detailed overview of the exclusive IAPAM hCG Protocol & best practices;
- Understanding of VLCD/LCD diet programs;
- Patient selection criteria;
- Common medical contraindications;
- Current FDA status & requirements;
- Legal/Insurance considerations and special access to hCG Medical Malpractice Insurance Program; and
- hCG and Weight Loss Practice Advertising & Marketing Tips and Strategies.

Attendees also receive the following program resources:

- Patient hCG Program book to offer patients (with hCG friendly recipes, a food journal, tips, etc.);
- Weight Management Practice Operational Manual;
- Patient Charting Forms, Medical History & hCG Consent Forms; and
- Special Pricing for hCG and Meal Replacement Products.

Jeff Russell reinforces, "we not only cover hCG for weight loss, but also: B6/B12 injections, lipotropic injections, pharmacology, supplements & lipase inhibitors, ketogenic diets, VLCD/LCD, and meal replacement programs." Finally, the IAPAM's full day hCG training is the only hCG training in North America approved for a special medical malpractice rate for those who have attended and have been certified by the IAPAM.

All of the IAPAM's 2010 and 2011 hCG Medical Weight Management seminars have sold out, so to register for the next session in Scottsdale, Arizona, please see http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training, or contact the IAPAM at info@theiapam.com or 1-800-219-5108 ext 708.

Specializes in creating allergy and virus free environments for home, office and business.

Georgetown, Texas, June 07, 2011 -- Ecomajik Companies, a subsidiary of Advertising Majik Corporation, has announced the opening of an office in Georgetown, Texas. Ecomajik Companies specializes in creating allergy and virus free environments for homes, office and business. The company utilizes Space Certified Technology developed for NASA and manufactured by Dallas based Vollara Inc. to kill all allergens, bacteria, mold and viruses naturally and without harmful chemicals.

Two peer review scientific studies conducted by the University of Cincinnati and Kansas State University have validated the companies claims. Their products kill all known viruses including H1N1, MRSA, STAPH, E-Coli, CDIF and Anthrax in the air AND on surfaces. They also remove all allergens, bacterias and mold from the air using the same natural elements found in sunshine and thunderstorms.

"Our products are especially useful for childcare and daycare centers as well as doctors offices, veterinarians and even haircare and nail salons as the technology also removes all odors, even powerful odors like ammonia, often within minutes." noted C. Frederick Braun, company CEO. "The best news is it is affordable with total home and office systems generally costing below $1,000. It is a great investment for the health of your family, employees or customers." he added.

Ecomajik will soon be opening a product showroom. Until then interested customers can test drive the products at no obligation for five days in their home or office.

"There is very little selling in our business," Braun noted. "Once people experience this technology in their home for a few days, they can't imagine ever being without it." he added.

Eat Stop Eat Offers Unique Weight Loss Alternative

(June 04, 2011) -- Fasting, or refraining from eating for an extended period of time, is a concept that’s as old as time. While the act of fasting has strong ties to some religious beliefs, it is now being utilized by individuals from all walks of life as a simple approach to weight loss.

Studies have shown that occasional fasting combined with weight training exercise is not only an effective method for losing weight, but that it also has health benefits.

Nutritionist and athlete Brad Pilon has developed the “Eat Stop Eat” method of weight loss - a simple intermittent fasting program which allows individuals to enjoy all their favorite foods most days of the week while refraining from food entirely for one or two days.

The only scientifically proven way to lose body fat is to reduce calorie intake. Fasting creates a calorie deficit in an individual’s weekly diet. Fasting for short periods of time - 24 hours, for example - allows the body to burn fat, since it has no food to burn for fuel.

Scientific research also indicates that short periods of fasting increase growth hormone levels. The growth hormone provides many health benefits - decreasing fat; increasing muscle mass, bone density and energy levels; improving skin tone; and improving immune system function.
When a simple weight training routine is followed while Eat Stop Eat is being practiced, it’s even possible to gain muscle mass while losing weight.

Typical Eat Stop Eat followers lose between one and four pounds of body fat per week - all while sacrificing calories only one or two days per week, rather than cutting back every day.

With Eat Stop Eat, there is no need to count calories, measure out portions of food, refrain from eating certain foods, ingest supplements, or follow a rigorous workout routine. Those who have used the program call it a “brainless” way to lose weight.

Pilon has debunked any myths that fasting causes the body to go into starvation mode or that it’s necessary to eat regularly in order to maintain energy levels. In fact, he says, intermittent fasting can actually increase energy levels and cause individuals to feel healthier and more alert than ever.

Individuals with serious medical conditions should consult a doctor before trying the Eat Stop Eat program. Anyone else should be able to adhere to the program easily and experience several health benefits from it.

HIV Cure Needs More Commitment and Money


Though there are many scientists working towards finding a cure for HIV, nobody was successful. The “International Workshop on HIV reservoirs and Eradication Strategies” has been formed in 2003 only to find a solution to the issue of HIV persistence.

Tucker, GA, June 04, 2011 -- For 3 decades now HIV has created jitters everywhere. The number of HIV cases is on a rise across the world and inspite of the technological advancements we made in the field, we couldn't get a cure for it. Another saddening thing is that the medical treatment for HIV victims is very costly and the price figures are astronomical. Since most people cannot afford the treatment, they usually succumb to death after fighting for many years. To help all such people, there is a need for a group that strives towards HIV cure. This call is for all those scientists who are passionate about working on the virus and its cure.

Though there are many scientists working towards finding a cure for HIV, nobody was successful. Antiviral therapy is required for people to fight against this deadly disease and a HIV prophylactic vaccine too is necessary. The “International Workshop on HIV reservoirs and Eradication Strategies” has been formed in 2003 only to find a solution to the issue of HIV persistence. Because not only current treatments for HIV are very costly, but they are unable to get rid of HIV and must be administered life long. This implies problems of compliance, resistance and toxicity. The aim of this workshop is to develop novel strategies tackling HIV reservoirs and control them without the need of continued antiretroviral therapy.

Chief of Department of Infectious Diseases, General Hospital, France, Dr Alain Lafeuillade is the chairperson of this workshop and he is very passionate about what he is doing. ‘A group of medical experts from various medical streams need to come together under one roof and form a powerful task force that works towards finding a cure for HIV. We are conducting workshops in many countries to bring an awareness on this’ is what Dr Lafeuillade says.

Experts from the fields of virology, immunology, drug development and clinical research are required to form this special task force.

Interested people can get in touch with Dr Alain Lafeuillade, Department of Infectious Diseases, General Hospital, 1208 Avenue Colonel Picot, 83056 Toulon, France. For queries about the workshop, mail him at lafeuillade@orange.fr

Call for a Task Force on HIV Persistence

Global commitment needed towards HIV cure: this call is forming a special research task force that works for the creation of a HIV cure, linked to the organization of the "International Workshop on HIV Reservoirs and Eradication Strategies".

Toulon, France, June 02, 2011 -- HIV is said to be the only disease that is spread across the world with almost 7,000 cases every single day. It has been declared to be a pandemic and so far there is no cure for HIV. Since many years, scientists have been making major advancements in the field of medicine but the case of HIV still seems to be confusing them. This call is for all scientists for forming a special research task force that works for the creation of a HIV cure.

International Workshop on HIV Reservoirs and Eradication Strategies is a unique kind of a task force that calls for scientists from various fields of medicine. They need to work towards developing a cure for HIV because HIV victims cannot afford the regular medical treatment. That is the reason many of them succumb to death due to the HIV infection. This workshop aims at finding a cure in this decade atleast and help people in battling this fatal disease. People with a passion towards working for a cause are needed for the committee.

Dr Alain Lafeuillade, the man behind creating this idea of a special task force is the Chief of the Department of Infectious Diseases at General Hospital in Toulon, France. He has been working towards finding a HIV cure since 2003 and has been conducting many workshops in various parts of the world. He says, ‘a special task force is required which would be committed to understand about the HIV virus and finding a cure to it. ‘With passionate people in the group, we will surely find a solution to the problem by this decade’ Doctor Lafeuillade added.

The task force needs a bunch of experts from various streams of medicine like virology, immunology, clinical research and drug development too. These scientists must be able to form a multi disciplinary group that works towards finding HIV cure. Though this will not happen overnight, it is never too late to begin the ground work.

Interested people can get in touch with Dr Alain Lafeuillade, Department of Infectious Diseases, General Hospital, 1208 Avenue Colonel Picot, 83056 Toulon, France. For queries about the workshop, mail him at lafeuillade@orange.fr

USAbledVeterans.com Calls For Renewed Respect For The American Flag


US Code Title 4 provides specific rules for display.

Austin, Texas, June 02, 2011 -- As we reflect on Memorial Day, USAbledVeterans.com asks all Americans to remember what these military heroes died for and what our flag represents. Duty, Honor, God, Country, Family and Flag are what every Soldier, Marine, Sailor and Airman hold dearly. The American Flag represents it all. 

US Code Title 4, Chapter 1 Section 7 has specific rules for displaying the American Flag and what it represents. A few key rules can ensure that if you go through the trouble to post a flag, you give it the respect it deserves and which is codified in US Law.

1. No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag (the flag's right) of the United States of America.State Flags may be flown at the same height but always to the left (the US Flags left) and if flown on the same staff MUST always be below the American Flag.

"This makes me so sad because it is so often done innocently by well meaning Americans." noted Sela Rodriguez, Vice President of Veterans Services for USabledVeterans.com and IHireVeterans.com. "Here in Austin you'll see the American flag and Texas State Flags flown at the same height over shopping malls, Car dealerships and other public places. Texas is like no other in waving the State flag but is must always be flown properly and to the right as you are viewing it. People honor not only our American flag and their State flags, but everything they stand for when they are displayed properly." she added.

2. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof.

Carl Braun, co-founder of Patriotjobs.net and Hire-A-Patriot.com had a similar experience in California. "A local vineyard was flying the flags of Argentina, The United States and Italy on three poles in front of the winery. I contacted the owner and told him about respectful placement of the American Flag and other nations on US soil. He was honoring his mother (from Argentina) and his father (from Italy) with the flags over his business. When he found out about the discrepancy he immediately ordered the center pole raised and moved the US Flag to its proper place. It may sound insignificant but wars have been fought over less. I was very proud of the owner and frequented his restaurant often to show my gratitude.

Braun was not as pleased with the City of Calexico, California which has for some time flown the Mexican Flag and no American Flag over the old City Hall. "Reportedly they fly it only on Mexican National Holidays but regardless it is against the law and disrespectful to all of those veterans, Hispanic or otherwise that have died for the red, white and blue. "he said.

3. If you wear a lapel pin or American Flag on your shoulder or sleeve of a jacket or uniform, the flag should always be placed on the left lapel pin or left shoulder. The easiest thing to remember is that the stars in the flag should be closest to your heart. If for some reason you must place a flag on the right shoulder or sleeve the flag should be reversed, again with the stars closest to the heart. Military stores and police supply houses sell these flags. They look backwards but when placed on the right shoulder are proper.

Both Braun and Rodriguez call upon all American companies and individuals to observe proper flag etiquette and to comply with State and Federal law in the appropriate and respectful way to display the American Flag. "It is the least we can do to honor our vets and our great American Heritage. Often it is the little things that count." said Rodriguez.

USabledVeterans.com, Diversity-Job.com, Green-Employers.com, IHireVeterans.com and HireCustomercare.com are part of the Job1 family of niche job boards.

Need for Flexibility Driving Adoption of Cloud Based Storage


London, UK - June 01, 2011 -- Research conducted by TechNavio reveals, that the Global Cloud Based Storage market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 41.3 percent. The report, which focuses on Americas, EMEA, and APAC indicates, that the market is currently driven by the need for flexible storage capability and scalability.

“In today’s dynamic business environment, organizations cannot predict or forecast the volume of data they will handle and store. Traditional storage limits the volume of data storage and increases handling cost. In cloud based storage, the capacity can be increased based on customer requirements far more easily in comparison with traditional methods,” report TechNavio analysts.

In spite of the demand for cloud based storage, constantly increasing government regulations hinder the growth of this market. However, increased IT spending will have a positive impact on the market growth.

The Global Cloud Based Storage market is marked by the increasing adoption of cross-cloud storage solutions. This makes the study an important one for companies to fully understand the potential in the market and formulate their own strategy.

The report, which focuses on Americas, APAC, and EMEA indicates, that the market is currently driven by various green initiatives introduced by the government.

The financial impact of non-compliance and demand for energy efficient products are driving companies to include carbon management in their strategic plans,” report TechNavio analysts.

In spite of the demand for this software, the existence of complex corporate sustainability strategies hinders the growth of this market. However, the operational efficiency benefits offered by carbon management software are expected to drive the market.

The Global Carbon Management Software market is marked by the adoption of SaaS based carbon management software. This makes the study an important one for companies to fully understand the potential in the market and formulate their own strategy.
