Not Running the NYC Marathon? Burn the Same Calories at Your Desk

Not Running the NYC Marathon? Burn the Same Calories at Your Desk

Most Americans will not run the amount of time or distance of a New York City Marathon in a full calendar year, yet they can still burn an equivalent amount of calories in as little as two to three days using a device currently gaining traction in offices and homes across America: a treadmill desk.

Phoenix (Vocus) October 28, 2008

This coming weekend will witness more than 100,000 runners participating in one of the world's greatest races, the New York City Marathon. While elite athletes compete for world records and prize money it is estimated that the overall average running time of this event will be 4.75 hours. Most Americans will not run that amount of time or distance in a full calendar year yet they can still burn an equivalent amount of calories in as little as two to three days using a device currently gaining traction in offices and homes across America: a treadmill desk.

Treadmill desks have gained notoriety in the past year, however their cost has been a barrier for most workers, ranging in price from $4500-$6500. A company based in Phoenix, AZ, known as TrekDesk, offers a more economical solution for professionals who want to trade in the office chair and enhance their health. Available for sale in March 2009, TrekDesk is expected to retail for only $399.

"A 160 lb. marathon runner will burn approximately 3,400 calories completing the NYC marathon in the average time. An employee using a treadmill desk eight hours daily could walk the calorie burning equivalent of a a NYC Marathon (without breaking a sweat), in just two work days. It's a little like the Tortoise and Hare analogy here but it illustrates the effectiveness and power of daily walking. Most of us do not have the time to walk eight hours after work let alone train for a marathon but walking while working offers tremendous benefits in very short periods of time," states TrekDesk founder Steve Bordley.

Treadmill desks offer significant health benefits whether utilized all day or for just a few hours. The Surgeon General recommends a minimum of 10,000 steps a day for optimum health which can easily be achieved in just 3 hours with TrekDesk. More details on the significant health benefits of consistent daily walking, including excerpts of pertinent medical studies can be found at the TrekDesk website (http://www. trekdesk. com).

So, for the 305 million Americans that will not be running the NYC marathon this weekend, relax. Save your joints and consider a slower but realistically effective approach to health for the rest of us: a treadmill desk.

Unusual Dance Studio Opening in Central Ohio

Unusual Dance Studio Opening in Central Ohio

New dance center opening in Central Ohio offering a unique creative dance as an exercise regime.

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) April 13, 2006

In today’s health and fitness conscious society, it is always good to know about different ways of getting ones exercise and cardiovascular workout. Studio 7 Creative Dance Center will be opening in Lancaster, Ohio in June and is offering just that.

What is Creative Dance? The creative dance at Studio 7 is called Solarhythmical™ Dance. This dance was founded by the instructor and owner of Studio 7, Leisa Coffman. Leisa developed the dance in 2003 but claims she has danced Solarhythmically™ since she was a child.

Leisa comments, “At a very young age, I began making up dance moves. Aside from dancing around the house all the time, also for fun I would make up comical dances and name them. Dances I called the “Barn Dog” and “The Ruby” were just a couple of those comical dances. This of course was often entertaining for the family. But on a serious side, I often found myself alone in my room or wherever dancing. I always felt it was uplifting to me, of course not realizing at the time that there was a science behind feeling better when I danced”.

Dancing was always natural for Leisa and before even taking any dance classes; she found she naturally knew dance moves of all types and cultures, ranging from ballet, modern dance to spanish and middle eastern style of dancing.

Solarhythmical™ Dance is not a routine dance. Movements are based on the sub-conscious mind and your intuitiveness. That is why mediation is part of this unique and beautiful dance. Leisa explains, “The dance is very creative and once the dance moves are taught, each individual person will interpret that movement uniquely."

Leisa believes that everybody can dance. She states, “Of course there are different levels of dancing, there is dancing for performance purposes then there is dancing for personal purposes. My goal is to bring awareness to the fact that dance is for everybody, not just for performers or for people who naturally can dance with ease. Our bodies were designed to react to music; each of our seven Chakras is affected by a note. That is why we want to move when we hear music. Even if it’s just a tapping of the foot or of the hand, your sub-conscious mind is trying to make you aware that you need to dance. So dancing is very good for you physically and mentally. Solarythmical ™ Dance will teach you how to listen to your sub-conscious mind regarding your body movements. This dance is something you can do for performance or simply in the privacy of your own home as an exercise regime.”

Leisa says people of all ages can dance Solarhythmically™. She has taught ages ranging from early 20’s to late 60’s. Leisa says that after dancing for about four weeks, (at least three 20 minute sessions per week) you will notice your body toning. The first thing you will notice is arms, thighs, stomach area being more toned. Those with cellulite problems may notice decreased cellulite. Leisa claims that this is not only because of the physical stimulation but also because of the chakra meditation that is involved in preparation prior to dancing.

Leisa is also looking to develop a dance company from those students who want to perform the dance. She is also in the process of writing a book that will be packaged with an instructional DVD.

The name Studio 7 is named after the divine number seven. Leisa says, “The number seven is a divine number with many patterns to life and creation, but is also a very personal number to me. All my children have a connection with the number seven as well as myself. So that is why I named the center Studio 7."

Besides teaching dance, Leisa is the Director of Marketing for an entertainment company based out of Cleveland. The company publishes books and produces independent films as well as other entertainment entities. “The Derby Stallion” starring Disney’s rising star Zac Efron and veteran actors Bill Cobbs and William R. Moses, is the latest movie that was produced by the company.

The Grand Opening of Studio 7 is June 2nd from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the studio location, 117 W. Main St., Suite 177, in Lancaster. (Numerology break down of this date is 7.) Hors d'oeuvres and free giveaways and hand-out information will be available as well as the opportunity to meet and speak with Leisa.

Entity Resolution Software Delivers Solutions Faster; Identity Resolution Engine 2.2 Interface Reduces Time to Search Data, Discover Relationships, Automate Decisions, and Manage Cases

Infoglide Software Corporation announced availability of a new version of its Identity Resolution Engine that simplifies creation of solutions using new IRE Desktop and IRE Management Studio clients. IRE 2.2 interactive rich web clients enable end users to access the power of the engine more easily and reduce the time to solution deployment.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) July 15, 2009

Infoglide Software Corporation announced today that Version 2.2 of its Identity Resolution Engine™ (IRE) is now generally available. IRE 2.2 makes its powerful entity resolution capabilities easier to use by adding new IRE Desktop and IRE Management Studio rich web clients.

"IRE 2.2 makes the power of the Engine more accessible, resulting in less time to create and deploy a solution," said Ram Anantha, Infoglide's director of product management. "The new IRE Desktop application provides analysts, investigators, and integrators a superior, tailored experience to access the engine's full power. Additionally, there have been significant improvements to the IRE's core functionality, such as enhanced matching algorithms, additional search and retrieval strategies, and more powerful customization features, resulting in a better quality solution."

The new release addresses enterprise-level challenges by supplying the needed scalability and performance to manage high volumes of data and maximize efficiency. It improves business decisions by utilizing customizable rules that apply business logic to current, incoming data as well as search results. By providing an easily deployable software engine that is highly configurable, tunable, and adaptable, it evolves with organizational needs while also minimizing resources needed by returning automated, accurate results.

New features in IRE 2.2 have set a new standard for IRE's ease of use and flexibility. Screenshots, demonstrations, and more information about IRE 2.2 are available at http://www. identityresolutionengine. com (http://www. identityresolutionengine. com).

IRE Desktop
The rich client environment of IRE 2.2 includes an interactive desktop application that provides the flexibility to move from one function to another in a convenient-to-administer web browser model.

IRE Desktop simplifies searching data, discovering hidden relationships, and automating decision-making processes. It also enables users to create, build, and adjudicate cases based on discovered information.

The application can be readily configured to meet the specific business needs of an organization. Tabular search forms and similarity search results are both configurable to enable customization of solutions without the need for additional programming.

Productivity features include a new Favorites functionality that increases efficiency by saving favorite cases, decision criteria, search results, discovery results, and other entities. Alternatives for accessing key functions let the user choose the most productive way to build identity resolution solutions, and personalization settings give users other choices in the appearance of the desktop. Cases can be automatically or manually generated using the lightweight case management feature, and custom business processes established to manage the cases.

IRE Management Studio
Mirroring IRE Desktop's ease of deployment, IRE Management Studio enables administrators to manage configurations through a rich, integrated development environment hosted in their web browser.

The IRE Management Studio allows users to create new configurations and review and modify existing ones. It creates a productive environment for managing IRE, including test scenarios and debugging sessions.

In the January 15 edition of TWDI Newsletter, Jill Dyché of Baseline Consulting predicted that in 2009 "identity resolution will get its due… companies are recognizing that they may have unique customer data-matching needs… and they'll be looking at smarter, more specialized ways to automate them." IRE 2.2 makes it easier than ever to rapidly deploy a powerful entity resolution solution that delivers value to end users. Its shorter time to a richer, tailored solution is unique in the industry.

Complex Therapy Regimen Affects Health of Millions

Complex Therapy Regimen Affects Health of Millions

New educational tools offer assistance to healthcare providers and patients

Madison, WI (PRWEB) October 31, 2010

Nausea, fatigue, pain in the upper back, neck or jaw, a burning pressure in the chest - these are all symptoms of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), or as most know it, a heart attack.

ACS makes up more than 1.5 million hospitalizations each year in the United States. It is estimated that 38% of those who suffer from an attack will not survive. And unfortunately, those who do survive are at a greater risk for another attack.

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart stops due to a blockage in the arteries leading to the heart. These blockages are caused by clots made up of blood platelets. Platelets are beneficial by helping heal wounds, but too many platelets in the blood can be dangerous. Those who have heart disease risk factors including smoking, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes, are at greater risk of developing a blood clot.

Antiplatelet therapy is now considered the first line of defense in avoiding a second heart attack due to a blood clot. Antiplatelet medications prevent blood clots from forming easily. Antiplatelet therapy typically consists of two medicines, aspirin and thienopyridines. Both of these medications reduce the formation of blood clots.

Millions of ACS patients are on antiplatelet therapy; however, studies show that 29% of Americans discontinue their medicines before it is safe to do so, 22% take less than prescribed, and 12% never have their prescriptions filled. The results can be devastating and may lead to worsening of ACS, increased mortality, and higher health-care costs. “Understanding the importance of antiplatelet medications and supporting compliance through education and follow-up is a critical role for nurses as they care for patients with heart disease, especially after ACS,” said Kathy Berra, MSN, ANP-C, FAHA, FPCNA, FAAN, Stanford Prevention Research Center, Stanford, CA.

There are many reasons why patients struggle with this drug therapy. They include the stress of having had a heart related event, not understanding the information they are provided about the medications, not having careful and regular follow-up, having memory challenges, and the cost of the medications.

In order to assist healthcare providers in prescribing and counseling their ACS patients, PCNA has developed a quick-reference laminated card for healthcare professionals containing the role of platelets in thrombotic events, site of actions of antithrombotic agents, how to reduce serious side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, and information about antiplatelet medications including indications, dosage, side effects, and potential interactions.

PCNA has also created a patient counseling tool which includes an overview of how and why antiplatelet medicines are prescribed, how to take medications, what to expect when taking these medications, what potential side effects to look for, and the importance of eating a heart healthy diet and tips for incorporating exercise every day.

Members of PCNA will receive a copy of the quick-reference laminated card and a tear-pad containing 50 patient education sheets by mail. Healthcare professionals may order 2 tear-pads for free by calling 1-866-620-6947. Please reference product ID 00002000710.

About the Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association
The Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association (PCNA) is the leading nursing organization dedicated to preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD) through assessing risk, facilitating lifestyle changes, and guiding individuals to achieve treatment goals. The mission of PCNA is to promote nurses as leaders in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease. PCNA does this by educating and supporting nurses through the development of professional and patient education, leadership, and advocacy.
