Revealed, Why Vacations Make US Happier, Healthier & More Productive

Leading wellness travel brand, Wellness Tourism Worldwide, has just announced the results of a U.S.travel survey on the power of vacations in boosting heath, happiness and productivity.

Los Angeles (July 9, 2013) -- Leading wellness travel brand, Wellness Tourism Worldwide, has just announced the results of a U.S.travel survey on the power of vacations in boosting heath, happiness and productivity.

Wellness Tourism Worldwide's new report surveyed over 500 U.S. consumers to better understand the underlying psychology related to vacation motivations, perceptions and purchase decisions including preferred destinations, booking choices, trip length and trip spend.

The survey is part of WTW's newly released U.S. Vacationers: Happiness, Health & Productivity - An Essential Report for Travel, Hospitality & Wellness Industries. Peer reviewed by experts and thought leaders in academia, hospitality, tourism and work/life balance, this report provides unprecedented information including survey data, extensive literary research and in-depth interviews with industry experts.

Wellness Tourism Worldwide Founder & CEO, Camille Hoheb, remarked, "Our survey respondents believe vacations are an important aspect of work/life balance - providing time for individuals, couples and friends and family to decompress, connect, explore, engage, learn, renew and transform. Our mission is to improve well-being and economic growth through travel and we believe in promoting travel as both a personal strategy for wellness and as an economic strategy benefiting businesses and communities."

High Level Survey Findings include:

- Over 90% of respondents believe vacations can improve happiness.
- Nearly 90% of respondents believe vacations can improve health.
- 84% respondents believe vacations can improve productivity citing better problem solving, enhanced creativity, more resiliency, better ability to cope with daily stress among other factors.
- Respondents believe vacations provide an opportunity for life changing decisions and transformation
- 37% of respondents decided to start a health regimen while on vacation
- 21% of respondents decided to change jobs while on vacation
- 19% of respondents decided to start a new business
- 90% said they would look at vacations as being transformative in the future

One of the great challenges in the U.S. workforce is the ability for employees to take a vacation. Roughly one-third of respondents reported they didn't remember they took a 7+ day vacation citing lack of time-off and money as the major barriers. Despite these challenges over 90% of respondents reported that taking a vacation was important during tough financial times and a majority planned to take a vacation in the next year.

Offering a timely perspective on what today's American leisure travelers seek, desire and expect during a vacation, the U.S. Vacationers report is a resource used to aid in wellness promotion, travel marketing, and vacation policy development.

The Report Is Useful To:

- Travel sellers, suppliers, destinations and all travel and tourism professionals
- Associations and providers related to health, corporate wellness, travel and hospitality
- Organizations focused on workforce sustainability & corporate social responsibility

ADS MedicsConnect™ Automates Transmission of Radiology Reports for Easy Upload to Any EHR

New Advanced Data Systems' Tool Speeds Electronic Exam Results to Referring Physicians in Vendor Agnostic Format.

Paramus, NJ (July 9, 2013) -- Advanced Data Systems (ADS) introduces MedicsConnect, an innovative new tool that automatically transmits radiology reports to referring physicians in a vendor agnostic HL7 format compatible with any electronic health record (EHR) system. The new technology eliminates the need for implementing multiple costly, customized HL7 interfaces, representing a potential cost savings of tens of thousands of dollars for radiologists. Working conveniently from within a radiology information system (RIS), the unique application transmits reports over the Internet to a medical practice's static IP address using secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) to ensure data safety. Referring physicians can configure their EMRs to automatically download the data to the appropriate patient file.

MedicsConnect supports a radiology practice's marketing efforts by providing an important extra level of customer service. Reliably and seamlessly, it offers referring physicians convenient access to reports, while eliminating the costs to radiologists of implementing customized HL7 interfaces to accept inbound data at key referrers.

"Hartsdale Diagnostic Imaging has been relying on the radiology solutions from ADS for years for comprehensive, easy-to-use automation tools for management, financials, and radiology EHR. Now with MedicsConnect, we have greatly solidified our referring physicians with its ability to deliver our radiology reports directly to their EHRs," says user Joseph Casoria, Practice Administrator, Hartsdale Diagnostic Imaging in Hartsdale, NY.

According to David Barzillai, President of ADS, "MedicsConnect is almost effortless from the radiologist's point of view. In just a few mouse clicks, completed reports are transmitted with the highest level of security in a format any referring physician's system can read and archive. Finally, sharing electronic radiology reports really is that simple."

Barzillai points out that with MedicsConnect, communicating electronic reports is as streamlined as faxing and as important a development as automated faxing was 25 years ago. The innovative tool makes it practical and cost-effective for radiologists to provide all the advantages of EHR-compatible radiology reports to referring practices of any size, even to independent practitioners.

MedicsConnect comes integrated into the ADS MedicsRIS™ and is also available as a stand-alone application for integration into any radiology practice's RIS solution.

About Advanced Data Systems: Advanced Data Systems (ADS) is a leading provider of automation solutions to radiology and medical imaging practices of every size and scope, as well as to radiology revenue cycle management companies. ADS' MedicsRIS™ is a powerfully comprehensive yet affordable system currently integrated with numerous PACS. Using the company's MedicsDocAssistant™ EHR for Radiology, a large number of radiologists have obtained Stage 1 Stimulus Act financial incentives. The system is specifically designed to capture medical imaging-related data needed by radiology practices to achieve EHR Meaningful Use (MU). ADS provides timely implementation, comprehensive training and excellent ongoing U.S.-based customer support with updates such as ICD-10 and Stage 2 MU.

IAPAM Announces Dates for its Next Symposium with Botox Injection Training: September 14-15

With all the talk of Obamacare and reductions in insurance reimbursements in the US among physicians, it is more important than ever to educate physicians that they cannot just offer botox if they want to make money. They need to offer all the top 5 minimally-invasive procedures coupled with a weight loss program. The IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium was specifically designed as a "one-stop" program to add non-insurance based medical procedures to a practice, or to start a new medspa. Today, the IAPAM announces the dates for its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona: September 14-15, 2013.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - July 4, 2013 -- The IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium was designed to give physicians all the information, forms, DVDs, hands-on training, etc. that they need to begin offering aesthetics when they finish the conference. As well, it is important to understand that botox is not a profit centre, just a gateway to make money with other aesthetic procedures. Only the IAPAM's Symposium teaches physicians about this principle..... no one else is offering this competitive intelligence.

Indeed, while this is nothing new, but offering non-insurance based procedures is more on the top of the minds to physicians lately, and the IAPAM understands this. The IAPAM is the only complete program that offers:

- An Accelerated program; physicians and their staff can be certified over a weekend;
- 19 training DVD's to take back to one's practice;
- Board certified Dermatologists as instructors;
- Internationally recognized Certification;
- CME (Continuing Medical Education) credits;
- 1 Year practice support (continues as long as a member); and much, much, more!

"More patients are turning to the more inexpensive non-invasive procedures rather than surgical cosmetic procedures," says Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (http://www.iapam.com). "They may not get the long term benefits of a face lift, but with a combination treatment of botox and dermal fillers, then can get a great result at a fraction of the price."

For more information on the IAPAM's September 14-15 Symposium with Botox Training, watch this comprehensive video at http://youtu.be/bBQlS0CpOvw or to register for the September Aesthetic Medicine Symposium on September 14-15, 2013, please contact the IAPAM, at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704, or visit http://iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-symposium-botox-training.

Botox is a trademark of Allergan, Inc.

About the IAPAM: The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine is a voluntary association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession. The goal of the association is to offer education, ethical standards, credentialing, and member benefits. IAPAM membership is open to all licensed medical doctors (MDs), dentists (DDSs/DMDs) doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs), physicians assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs). The IAPAM offers aesthetic medicine and hCG medical weight management programs, including: Botox training, medical aesthetic training, laser training, physician hCG training, and aesthetic practice business training.

T5 Data Centers Projects T5@Dallas Customers Can Save Millions from New Texas Tax Incentive Bill

Realize Substantial Savings from New HB 1223 Tax Legislation T5 Data Centers One of the Few Data Center Operators Prepared Today to Help Companies.

Dallas, TX, USA (June 25, 2013) -- T5 Data Centers, innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support environments for any enterprise, is advising clients to take full advantage of the new tax incentives offered in HB 1223, the new Texas sales tax exemption for data centers that goes into effect September 1. T5 sources estimate that companies leasing space in the new purpose-built T5@Dallas facility can realize savings from $30 million to $100 million depending on the number of critical megawatts (MW) needed and the length of the lease.

HB 1223 is a stimulus bill that exempts qualified companies from state sales taxes for the development, occupancy and operation of certain data centers. Based on internal estimates, T5 customers operating a data center at 6 critical MWs could potentially realize savings of $30 million over 10 years in tax on servers, software and energy. A company with 12 critical MWs could save as much as $101 million over 15 years in taxes on servers, software, and energy costs. Exemptions include the cost of gas and electricity costs, electrical systems, cooling systems, backup systems, servers, data storage, networking equipment, rack space, fixtures, and more. T5 Data Centers' T5@Dallas campus has space available for lease in its 22.5 MW facility, and plans to expand with an additional 12.0 MW facility to be built in the near future. T5 customers investing a minimum of $200 million will qualify for a 10-year tax exemption; customers investing $250 million will qualify for a 15-year tax exemption.

"Today's data center users are not only searching for robust and secure environments, but first class locations as well. These new tax incentives make Plano's Legacy Business Park an even better location for an organization looking to install a mission-critical data facility. T5@Dallas, more than ever, is the best data center in the best location for business in Texas,” said Martin Peck, General Manager of T5@Dallas.

The new tax legislation includes a requirement for qualifying data center customers to create at least 20 new full-time jobs. Certified data centers must be specifically built to house servers, data processing, and data storage equipment. In addition, the data center tenant must occupy at least 100,000 square feet and the center must be used primarily for telecommunications services.

"With passage of this new legislation, Texas becomes the 25th state to offer tax incentives for new data center installations," said Peter S. Marin, President and CEO of T5 Data Centers. "This is a proven means to stimulate technology growth, and as T5 continues to add new data centers around the country, we look at the local economic climate, including taxes, as well as geographic conditions, the cost of energy, and other criteria to make sure our customers have the most cost-effective, sustainable data center facilities available."

In Search of Liquidity at Tech2Trade 2013, World's Most Influential High-frequency Trading Conference

Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013 (www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), World's Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, including High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, "Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges," New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).

New York City, NY, USA (June 25, 2013) -- A deeply liquid market is considered a sign of a healthy market with lots of participants, but Commissioner Bart Chilton, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, says all liquidity may not be the same and could be distorting markets. The CFTC is concerned that some of the liquidity that may be provided by high-frequency traders could be "fantasy liquidity created by 'wash' sales," which is prohibited under both the Commodity Exchange Act and exchange rules.

High-frequency traders enter and exit the market quickly and can do so multiple times a day, helping to create a more liquid market. But they're a relatively new addition to the trading world and Chilton said how they operate needs closer scrutiny, especially since at times they can be 30% to 50% of a market. The concern is over "wash" trades, which happens a trader trades with himself, in other words puts out a bid price and matches it. "If you're trading with yourself, you have nothing to lose, you're not taking a risk. If this was occurring a little bit, it would be no harm, no foul," Chilton said.

However, he said, this is happening more than a little bit, calling the wash trades "voluminous." Chilton said there may be two reasons why these wash trades are happening. One is to make it look like there is deep volume to entice other people to trade those markets. Second, these traders may be part of legitimate market-maker programs, which is when an exchange pays a market-maker to provide liquidity. "But it's dangerous if you're trading with yourself and taking no risk. It can also affect price discovery and hurts consumers," he said.

To discuss the eternal liquidity challenge, Golden Networking is pleased to host Tech2Trade Expo 2013's High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 (http://www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com), "Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges", this July 30 in New York City, September 18 in London., October 8 in Chicago, October 24 in Singapore and November 21 in Frankfurt.

"Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges," is the theme of High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, forum that will provide attendees in New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt with the most up-to-date review of where this ever-changing industry stands through an insightful keynote speeches and thought-provoking panels with leaders in the field. "High-frequency trading will no doubt play an ever larger role as computer technology advances and the global exchanges embrace fast electronic access." said Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and the forthcoming Knightmare on Wall Street. Recognized experts, regulators, and strategists, will return to High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 to provide the information practitioners are looking for in an open and unbiased environment, highly conducive to the most efficient and effective networking.
