Wide Waists Trim Lifespan for Women

TurboCharged® is a groundbreaking 8-Step program that defies common weight-loss theories. For more information, log on to www.turbocharged.us.com.

New York, NY - September 17, 2011 -- Ever since the mid-1970s when Harvard initiated what is now known as “The Nurses Study” we've been told that white women with waists over 40 inches, raised their risk of early death by 40% vs. their slimmer sisters who maintained waists in the 26 to 27 inch measure.

However, significant new data just published in the New England Journal of Medicine (Sept. 8) lead by Dr. Julie Palmer, shows that black women are equally at risk.

“There is really no surprise here. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes and the countless other deadly ills directly related to obesity are color-blind. For the record, they are sex-blind as well,” say boomer generation health experts Dian Griesel, Ph.D. and Tom Griesel and authors of the new book, TurboCharged: Accelerate Your Fat Burning Metabolism, Get Lean Fast and Leave Diet and Exercise Rules in the Dust (April 2011, BSH).

Pounds add up. Studies are showing that obesity is starting earlier than ever. Our children ages 12-18 are reported as 18% being obese and baby boomers-the 81 million born between 1946-1964-are polled at a whopping 66%+ being either obese or overweight.

“Obesity is a medical time bomb. It threatens our lives, livelihoods, financial stability, families and our society at large,” say the Griesels. “A look around tells us that the status quo of dieting is simply not working. Apparently, we all still believe we need to clear our plate-which wouldn't be a bad idea if it was filled with fruits and vegetables, which sadly, too often is not the case.”

About TurboCharged:

TurboCharged® is a groundbreaking 8-Step program that defies common weight-loss theories. It successfully delivers body-defining rapid fat loss, accelerates metabolism, and improves health and odds of longevity without gimmicks, supplements or special equipment. Common sense and a desire to be lean are all that is required for success at any age. For more information, log on to http://www.turbocharged.us.com. Please follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

AAA Says Asia Offers Good Real Estate Investment Prospects

Fund management experts at Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) claim that some of the best prospects for real estate investors lie in Asia.

Boston, MA, USA, September 17, 2011 -- Fund management experts at Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) claim that some of the best prospects for real estate investors lie in Asia.

This claim is based on the themes occurring at this year’s Forbes Global CEO Conference, according to AAA’s analysis partner Anthony Johnson. Following the economic crises in Europe and the US, many real estate developers and investors are now looking to Asia as the best place to focus their efforts, claimed Chao Teng-Hsiung, the chairman of Farglory group, a Taiwan-based developer.

Speaking at a conference event called ‘scouting locations’, Mr Chao said, “Asia offers good prospects for development and the future is bright.”

He went on to add that people who invest in real estate are seeing better returns than those with money in stocks. Many investors are turning increasingly towards alternative assets, like real estate, forestry investment and commodities as the stock market continues to struggle. “After 10-20 years of development, the returns are still higher than stocks. Real estate is something that is worth investing in,” added Mr Chao.

China is a particularly strong bet for those looking for a place to invest in real estate, thanks to the country’s enormous economic growth over the past months and years. The country is becoming increasingly urbanised thanks to more jobs and industry. Some 400 million people are expected to live in cities within a few years, up from the current number of 240 million and they all need somewhere to live.

Mr Johnson said, “The growth in demand for real estate is unprecedented as millions move to inner cities for work and opportunity. Investing in emerging economies almost always makes sense and firms such as Greenwood Management, are offering people the chance to invest in forestry in Brazil, which is another major growth region.” He added that investing in forestry projects carries the added advantage of being an environmentally and socially responsible option.

About Alternative Asset Analysis:

The remit of Alternative Asset Analysis is to analyse and provide news on the global performance of a wide range of alternative asset classes including, but not restricted to, commodities, real estate, forestry, foreign exchange, hedge funds, private equity and venture capital.

Rosendin Electric Receives Gold Vision Award from Constructech Magazine

Company Singled Out in Specialty Contractor Category for Initiating Job Site QA/QC Mobile Reporting.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (September 17, 2011) - Rosendin Electric (http://www.rosendin.com), the nation’s largest private electrical contractor and a 100% employee-owned company, today announced the company has received the Gold Constructech Vision Award in the Specialty Contractor category. The award, announced yesterday at the Constructech Technology Day Conference in Oak Brook Terrace, Illinois, was given in recognition of Rosendin Electric’s innovation in automating quality control and quality assurance (QA/QC) using mobile computing technology on the job site.

Working with Vela Systems (http://www.velasystems.com), Rosendin Electric was able to create a new approach to manage QA/QC in the field using mobile technology such as tablet PCs and iPads to deliver access to information and metrics, allowing executives and project managers to make more informed decisions. Rather than carting reams of paper and tubes of drawings to the job site, Rosendin Electric can now turn field data into powerful electronic information for managing quality and safety. Project teams can manage day-to-day communications regarding issues on the job site using consolidated data, and managers and executives can view metrics across projects, identifying trends in field performance, quality, safety, and other areas. Specific benefits from the initiative include:

- Gathering of more consistent, measureable quality control data;

- Use QA/QC information gathered from projects to proactively identify trends and reduce both jobsite and corporate risks;

- Understand quality performance to better manage post-project evaluations;

- Avoid claims by providing a secure audit trail of the progress of quality and construction;

- Increase profitability by reducing costly rework; and

- Accelerate project delivery by saving time normally spent on less efficient means of communication.

“Receipt of the Vision Award is a testament to Rosendin Electric’s commitment to bring the latest technology into the field, where the work gets done,” said Sam Lamonica, Vice President and CIO for Rosendin Electric. “We look at the QA/AC reporting initiative as the first phase of an ongoing project to untether functionality throughout core disciplines, including safety and other mission-critical functions. Being able to automate QA/QC means we no longer have to wade through thousands of activity codes, and we are assured that the right information is being delivered to the right people, fast.”

About Constructech Technology Day

Rosendin Electric Earns a Spot on 2011 InformationWeek 500 List of Top Technology Innovators Across America

Latest Engineering and BIM/CAD Technology Brings New Level of Automation to Electrical Construction.

Monarch Beach, CA, September 17, 2011 -- Rosendin Electric, the nation’s largest private electrical contractor and a 100% employee-owned company, today announced that it has been named to this year’s InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation’s most innovative users of business technology. This marks the first time that Rosendin Electric has been named to the InformationWeek 500 list, recognizing Rosendin Electric’s innovation in applying the latest Business Information Modeling (BIM) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technology to building construction. The 2011 list was revealed this week at a gala awards ceremony at the exclusive InformationWeek 500 Conference taking place at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort, Dana Point, CA.

Over the past year, Rosendin Electric has migrated from a conventional two-dimensional and three-dimensional modeling system to an interactive BIM/CAD system. The company has developed a working prototype that links the Accubid cost estimating system to Autodesk MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing software) for accurate, automated cost estimation. The next step will be to automate the Bill of Materials process and integrate production tracking and quality assurance. The ultimate goal is to automate the end-to-end construction process for optimum cost controls and estimating accuracy.

“We have gone well beyond modeling potential construction conflicts and are developing a comprehensive bidding and cost projection system,” added Bill Mazzetti, Senior Vice President and Chief Engineer for Rosendin Electric. “We have extended computer-aided design to generated an automated Bill of Materials and create an integrated procurement process.”

“For 23 years, the InformationWeek 500 has chronicled and honored the most innovative users of business technology,” said InformationWeek Editor In Chief Rob Preston. “In this day and age, however, being innovative isn't enough. Companies and their IT organizations need to innovate faster than ever before to stay a step or two ahead of their customers, partners, and competitors. This year’s ranking placed special emphasis on those high-octane business technology innovators.”

InformationWeek identifies and honors the nation's most innovative users of information technology with its annual 500 listing and also tracks the technology, strategies, investments and administrative practices of America’s best-known companies. Top winners have included: The Vanguard Group, CME Group, Conway, National Semiconductor, Kimberly-Clark, Hilton Hotels and Unum. The InformationWeek 500 rankings are unique among corporate rankings as it spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.

Luxottica Group Turns to Groupsoft To Use SAP Retail to Expand Global Retail Operations for Sunglass Division

SAP Retail Expertise Allows Groupsoft to Streamline Luxottica's Sunglass Merchandising and Supply Chain Operations.

NEW YORK (September 17, 2011) -- Groupsoft, (http://www.groupsoftus.com), an international provider of complete retail solutions, including ERP implementations, supply-chain optimization, point of sale, Merchandising and Assortment Planning (MAP), and consulting services, today announced that the company has been helping Luxottica Group to expand its global retail infrastructure for its sun retail chains by implementing merchandising and supply chain functions utilizing SAP Retail. Groupsoft has previously partnered with Luxottica Retail North America to design elements of Luxottica’s North American optical retail supply chain model and Groupsoft has implemented the sun model for Luxottica’s sun retail chains in the United Kingdom. Currently Groupsoft is working on a deployment for Mexico.

Groupsoft has been working with Luxottica, a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of fashion, luxury, sport and performance eyewear, for several months to help the company get the most value from its SAP Retail enterprise platform. According to Michael Braine, Vice President of Retail IT for Luxottica, the company licensed SAP Retail to streamline its merchandising and supply chain execution for the company’s eyewear retail store chains. When they assessed the effort it would take to implement and deploy support for each brand in sequence, they realized that the time required and associated costs were not amenable, so they started looking for partners to help with implementation and deployment. That’s when they started looking for a consulting partner.

“Groupsoft was more compelling to us because they had credible, retail-specific resources that had both general industry knowledge and SAP IS-Retail specific experience. Onboarding focused on our company specifics and the specifics of our configuration and instance,” said Braine. “It’s about value, not cost. They were able to be highly productive in a few weeks, and allowed us to optimize our SAP Retail implementation. They helped us implement and realize value much faster than we could have on our own.”

Drawing from their extensive experience with SAP Retail, Groupsoft was able to create global templates that could be reused to accommodate local market conditions. The Groupsoft team was able to determine the specific aspects of local retail operations for Luxottica’s sunglass stores that would benefit from a common solution. As a result, Braine’s team was able to create parallel deployments for SAP Retail. The U.S. and U.K. markets were the first to be deployed, and the Groupsoft team is currently using the same model to in the Mexican market.

“Luxottica’s sunglasses products are ideally suited for a global merchandising strategy. We can create a customizable model for SAP Retail that can be adapted to lower cost of goods,” said Amitabh Nema, founder and CEO of Groupsoft. “And using the lessons learned from building models for the U.S. and the U.K, we are confident that we can help Luxottica streamline retail operations.

About Groupsoft

Founded in 2003, Groupsoft is one of the world’s leading providers of complete Retail Solutions, including ERP implementations, Supply-chain Optimization, Point-of-sale solutions, Business Analytics consulting, implementation, Development, Support and Testing services. The firm specializes in SAP Retail Support and Implementation. The company also offers GrMAP (http://www.grmap.com), a Merchandise Assortment Planning tool and SAAS based GrApps - an Enterprise Mobility Solution tightly integrated with key ERP applications. Groupsoft’s strong in-depth Vertical Knowledge clubbed with experienced consulting experts and its Product becomes a unique and compelling offering for a retailer.

Ghana's tree planting project supported by FRA

The Ghanaian Forestry Commission’s announcement that it will establish 10,000 hectares of forest plantations has attracted praise from Forestry Research Associates (FRA).

Seattle, United States, September 16, 2011 -- The Ghanaian Forestry Commission’s announcement that it will establish 10,000 hectares of forest plantations has attracted praise from Forestry Research Associates (FRA).

FRA supports sustainable forestry and the proliferation of managed forestry through investment in the industry, particularly in emerging economies that are densely forested. The Forestry Commission’s CEO, Samuel Afari Dartey, made the announcement of the plan to encourage landowners to release land to facilitate the plantation projects.

Speaking on Greening Ghana Day, Mr Dartey said that the initiative is intended to help increase the amount of vegetation in the country that has been lost in recent years. The Greening Ghana event was launched by the ministry of Lands and Natural resources. The theme of the event was, ‘Greening Ghana for present and future generations’.

FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins explained, “News that countries like Ghana are becoming increasingly aware of the gains to be made from increasing forested land is a step in the right direction.”

An increasing number of developing countries with vulnerable eco-systems are coming round to the idea that trees can be worth more, both financially and ecologically, if they remain standing, claimed FRA.

Some local groups, such as education institutions, district assemblies and religious bodies, are being encouraged to join in with the tree planting process.

FRA supports projects that try to attract foreign investment into establishing plantations in emerging economies, such as Brazil. Firms like Greenwood Management are helping to establish non-native tree plantations, which offer alternatives to using endangered native species for timber and charcoal. They enable people to buy their own section of forested land, in order to sell the sustainably produced timber at a profit later on.

“These types of projects are vital to the future of the forestry industry in these developing countries, but also to the world as a whole, which benefits hugely from the expansion of forests, which absorb CO2,” added Mr Collins.

Movea Launches MoveTV™ Platform

First Ecosystem Solution to Enable a Complete Motion-Driven Entertainment Experience for PayTV Market.

Grenoble, France - September 16, 2011 -- Movea, the pioneer in motion-sensing and motion-control technologies, today launched MoveTV™, a new SmartMotion® solution for the PayTV market that provides entertainment ecosystem players a single platform on which to create a complete motion-enabled end user experience. MoveTV is a unique platform that advances and simplifies the integration of motion powered entertainment for TV consumers. For the first time, service providers, game and application developers, remote control and STB manufacturers, TV OEMs and system integrators, can all leverage a unifying platform and easily incorporate motion technology in their products using Movea’s SmartMotion technologies.

“Motion powered entertainment in the living room is quickly growing beyond console-based gaming to encompass the television viewing experience as PayTV service providers adopt motion control to improve the User Experience and pave the way for valuable new interactive TV services,” said Sam Guilaumé, CEO of Movea. “MoveTV is the first platform that takes an ecosystem approach, offering an integrated suite of SmartMotion technology components tailored to the needs of service providers, application developers and the different PayTV ecosystem partners. MoveTV platform components work together seamlessly on the backend and are designed to be modular, giving ecosystem partners the flexibility to adopt different levels of motion-driven functionality and capabilities. Movea’s MoveTV is in the integration phase with major service providers and STB manufacturers, and is in the deployment phase with ODM’s and systems integrators, demonstrating the market enthusiasm for motion-enabled home entertainment products. We've already seen very good traction in the marketplace for MoveTV and we're looking forward to some exciting customer announcements in the near future.”

Key components of MoveTV platform include Air MotionIC® firmware, GestureBuilder, and SmartMotion Server. Air MotionIC firmware is an optimized embedded solution that brings motion intelligence to handheld devices like remote controls. GestureBuilder creates and manages databases of 2D and 3D gestures. SmartMotion Server forms the bridge between the remote control device and the applications running on the STB or DTV. White label Smartphone and Tablet apps are also part of the MoveTV platform and are offered to service providers as an alternative to traditional remote controls for delivering an enhanced user experience.

Paul O’Donovan, Principal Analyst for Consumer Electronics Research at Gartner, concluded, “Motion-enabled entertainment in the home has been largely limited to game consoles where the console OEM’s control the entire solution. By comparison, TV OEM’s, service providers and application developers only own pieces of the entertainment experience and, as a result, they have been individually challenged to create large enough value proposition around motion for the end user. A platform solution like MoveTV is what’s needed to enable the PayTV ecosystem to work together in a unifying environment to deliver more excitement, fun and value to the consumer.”

SmartMotion by Movea

Movea is a leading provider of motion processing software, firmware, and IP for the Consumer Electronics industry. Movea's unique motion processing capabilities enable customers and partners to quickly add motion intelligence to their products, meaning reduced risk, cost, and Time-to-Market for delivering compelling new motion-based features that create more end-user value.

New Ways for Purging the HIV Reservoir

A number of different methods are being looked at to deal with the HIV reservoirs, and the majority of the most recent clinical trials are studying the effectiveness of HDAC inhibitors.

Toulon, France, September 16, 2011 -- Normally, after antiretroviral therapy (ART) is stopped, the suppressed HIV dwelling inside HIV-positive people reemerge from their dormant state and come alive, quickly replicating new copies of itself and running amok within the body. HIV lies dormant in places in the body called HIV reservoirs, and the virus itself can last for a long time in there. The reservoirs have a half-life of 6 to 44 months according to different studies. These reservoirs are considered by many scientists to be the final hiding place for HIV in the body, and it's become the main goal to find ways to purge these reservoirs and fully eradicate HIV from each HIV-infected patient.

Even with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), it would take more than 70 years to completely decay the HIV reservoirs, making full eradication practically impossible. Therefore, eliminating the reservoirs has to be done without spreading the infection to unharmed cells. The most ideal situation is to somehow purge the HIV reservoirs without activating T-cells, which could leave them susceptible to infection. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have interesting effects, and current studies have hypothesized that HDAC inhibitors may target the dormant HIV reservoirs, possibly getting rid of the virus without the entire body's supply of T-cells activating.

But which HDAC inhibitor can we use in order to achieve this effect? There are three general types of HDAC: Class I, Class II, and Class-111. Studies have suggested that Class I HDAC inhibitors might be the best choice, but other avenues are currently being explored. Trials with valproic acid (VPA), an HDAC inhibitor that is often prescribed to epileptic patients, showed a significant reduction in HIV reservoir size in 3 out of four patients when VPA was added to the HAART regimen. Vorinostat, Givinostat, Belinostat, three prominent HDAC inhibitors, even produced better results in vitro.

A number of different methods are being looked at to deal with the HIV reservoirs, and the majority of the most recent clinical trials are studying the effectiveness of HDAC inhibitors. The goal is to significantly reduce or eliminate the HIV reservoir. Time will tell if researchers ultimately come up with the right combination of drugs and treatment to build a cure, and whether that cure winds up being a functional one or a sterilizing one, it's worth mentioning that important progress has already been made.

Sonya Conti Now in the Light Space & Time Artist Showcase

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery announced today that Sonya Conti is now featured in the Gallery’s Artist Showcase.

Jupiter, Florida -- September 15, 2011 -- Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery announced today that Sonya Conti is now featured in the Gallery’s Artist Showcase. Mary was in the gallery’s initial competition in July 2010, Surfaces. Since that time she has entered and participated in additional gallery competitions and in all cases placed very high in the judging with her work. Her “Peony Poetry” won the gallery’s “Colors” Art Exhibition in November 2010. Most recently Sonya participated in the gallery’s “Seasons” art competition where she was awarded Honorable Mention for her work titled “January’s Return”.

Sonya states that “family, friends and relationships extend my concept of art. Too often find that the need is there to convey to the viewer "all" of one's history (biography) to hold the attention of the listener. It is only of late that realize the need to return to the basics, portray the image (concept) rather than a manuscript of words for mental stimulation.”

Sonya goes on further “as an artist, painter I want my work to express emotion, convey an atmosphere to the viewer within the boundaries of the canvas. Discovery of the elements; water, earth, air, temperature, color as a child would explore and experience for the first time is the intent. It is that discovery that changes the art and connects us in life as individuals.”

In her artist statement Sonya details her intent as a painter and an artist. She questions herself by stating "Am I a Painter slow to apply the title Artist? Is one less than the other and is there a distinct difference in these "titles"? At the core, the very heart and spirit of intent when creating a brush stroke on the canvas I travel the path of observation, color, composition and memory. There in is the painter who calls this process an artistic challenge. It's the work; not the title of the one with brush in hand. More importantly has the work provided my artistic statement in life? Each piece has a story; elements of water, fire, earth air, time space and human existence cover the conceptual original work.” Sonya's Website can be viewed here: http://www.marysonyaconti.com

About Light Space & Time Online Gallery

Light Space & Time Online Gallery conducts monthly themed art competitions and art exhibitions for new and emerging artists. It is Light Space & Time’s intention to showcase this incredible artistic talent in a series of monthly themed art competitions and art exhibitions by marketing and displaying the exceptional abilities of these worldwide artists.

ESCATEC passes audit for ATEX qualification for the production of equipment for use in explosive environments

ESCATEC, the EMS innovator, has passed the ATEX Production Quality Assurance audit for the production of equipment for use in explosive environments for the fifth year in a row.

Heerbrugg, Switzerland - September 15, 2011 -- ESCATEC, the EMS innovator, has passed the ATEX Production Quality Assurance audit for the production of equipment for use in explosive environments for the fifth year in a row. Using an ATEX accredited manufacturer means that customers only have to obtain product approval which reduces time to market and costs significantly as, without an ATEX accredited partner, each production lot needs to be ATEX approved. Also ESCATEC’s sophisticated component tracking systems covers the ATEX audit process for critical components.

“It is unusual for a contract manufacturing company to offer such demanding level of quality assurance,” said Martin Kingdon, ESCATEC’s Business Development Director. “Most contract manufacturers compete on being able to offer the lowest possible price but ESCATEC has always competed on quality and precision. Having our production facility here in Switzerland set up to meet the highly demanding QA standards to pass an ATEX audit means that all our products are made to the same high quality standards whether they need ATEX certification or not.”

ATEX certification means that equipment can be used in hazardous environments where there is a possibility of explosions such as chemical works, mining and the petroleum industry. The electronics and any batteries must be designed so that there is no possibility of a spark that could ignite an explosive chemical.

At present, the ATEX certification is just for ESCATEC’s production facility in Heerbrugg, Switzerland as the products that have been made for customers so far have only been in low volume in the thousands of units a year range. “However, should a customer want to ramp up to high volumes, we can achieve certification for our volume production facilities in Asia giving them the benefit of lower costs,” added Martin Kingdon. “This can be done very quickly as we keep our Asian manufacturing facilities very closely in line with our Swiss ones so that production can be transferred without a hitch, right down to the same models of machines so that the instruction software that has been fine tuned in Switzerland runs immediately in Asia.”
