Walnut Acres Makes Healthy Eating Squeezably Fun With First Organic Fruit Snacks for Kids in a Tube

Walnut Acres Makes Healthy Eating Squeezably Fun With First Organic Fruit Snacks for Kids in a Tube

The most recent addition to the growing family of certified organic foods & beverages from Walnut Acres is Fruit Squeezies -- certified organic fruit snacks in squeezable tubes for kids. Healthy & Delicious!

(PRWEB) August 28, 2002

Walnut Acres Makes Healthy Eating Squeezably Fun With First Organic Fruit Snacks in a Tube for Kids

Aug 22, 2002

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. (August 22, 2002) – In time for back-to-school, Walnut Acres – America’s original organic food company – announced today it is introducing the newest addition to its certified organic family: Walnut Acres Certified Organic Fruit Squeezies, apple sauce to go in a convenient tube. Available in two kid-tested, tasty varieties, Berry Wild and Wild Apple, the Fruit Squeezies contain pureed certified organic apples, organic grape juice concentrate, natural flavors and added Vitamin C. The certified organic snacks do not contain any synthetic pesticides, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or sweeteners.

Walnut Acres Certified Organic Fruit Squeezies are convenient squeezable tubes of apple sauce that do not need to be refrigerated and are mess-free. Parents like the delicious snacks made with organic fruit in part because they do not have to worry about foil tops tearing or leaking into purses, diaper bags or backpacks. Kids like the Fruit Squeezies because they taste great, they can eat them with one hand and the graphics of skateboarding fruit characters on the tubes and carton are cool. Frozen, refrigerated or right from the box, Walnut Acres Fruit Squeezies are a healthy alternative to sugary, fat-filled, high calorie kids’ snacks and help children fulfill the “Five A Day“ recommendation for fruit and vegetable servings. Each two-ounce tube contains 50% of the RDA for Vitamin C and only 35 calories. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant and is key to the formation of collagen, a protein that gives structure to bones, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels. Vitamin C also helps maintain capillaries, bones, and teeth and aids in the absorption of iron, making it an essential nutrient, especially for kids during their formative growth years.

According to a recent report published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association (ADA), kids can get almost one-half of their daily calories from snacks. Researchers believe that unhealthy snacking is a significant cause of rising obesity rates among children. “The ADA recommends that nutritious, low-fat snacks can have a significant impact on kids health,” said Mark S. Rodriguez, CEO of Acirca, Inc, the maker of Walnut Acres certified organic foods & beverages. “Our new Fruit Squeezies are not only high in vitamin C and fat free but are also certified organic and not made with any man-made chemicals and preservatives. We know moms feel good about giving these to their children and kids like the taste and the cool packaging.”

Beginning in September 2002, Walnut Acres Certified Organic Fruit Squeezies will be available in conventional supermarkets, natural supermarkets and independent health food stores for the suggested retail price of $2.99. Each box contains 8 individual Fruit Squeezie tubes.

“Walnut Acres is committed to making only the best certified organic foods & beverages that are delicious and convenient and help our customers to Live PureÔ,” said Mark Koide, vice president of marketing at Acirca. “And now we can hopefully contribute to kids’ improved dietary health with fun and healthful products like certified organic Fruit Squeezies.”

Like other Walnut Acres products, including ready-to-serve soups, pasta sauces, juices and salsas, the new Fruit Squeezies carry a call-to-action to encourage purchasers to join Walnut Acres in the fight against hunger with Share Our Strength, one of the nationÂ’s leading anti-hunger organizations. The company will donate $500,000 over five years to the fight against hunger.

All Walnut Acres products meet or exceed the strict U. S. Department of AgricultureÂ’s National Organic Program standards of certified organic foods and beverages. Walnut Acres products never contain synthetic preservatives, artificial sweeteners, sulfites, extenders, stabilizers, MSG, artificial flavors or colorings.

Established in 1946, Walnut Acres is America’s original organic food company and is owned by New Rochelle, N. Y.-based Acirca, Inc., makers of fine certified organic foods and beverages. The name Acirca is inspired by the phrase “a circle of life” and reflects the company’s commitment to the development of products that help consumers obtain better health and are good for the environment. Acirca is a privately held company owned collectively by company employees and independent investors. The company strives to bring convenience in packaged certified organic foods to health conscious consumers wherever they shop.

My Fair Lady - Fashion, Fair Trade and the Fate of Nations

My Fair Lady - Fashion, Fair Trade and the Fate of Nations

Fair Trade Supporter and Fashion Model Summer Rayne Oakes joins the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, People Tree, and others for a Fair Trade Symposium and Fashion Show during the WTO Talks in Hong Kong.

(PRWEB) December 12, 2005

Summer Rayne Oakes will be the lead model for the Fair Trade Symposium to be held in Hong Kong during the WTO Ministerial "Human rights at work, environment, and human health, particularly in developing or least developed countries have been overshadowed by global trade rules in the past," comments Oakes. "The purpose of the Fair Trade Symposium and People Tree's fashion show is to demonstrate that by providing fair wage and fair prices, families and their communities are given opportunities that wouldn't otherwise be made available."

Ben Lilliston, the Communications Coordinator for the Institute of Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), one of the organizations heading up the Fair comments: "Summer Rayne has been and continues to be a leader for fair trade in fashion. Her involvement in the fair trade fashion show in Hong Kong is very important. It helps demonstrate to trade leaders the broad support for the fair trade movement from countries around the world and from all segments of the fashion industry."

Director of the 2005 Fair Trade Fair, Patricia Jurewicz agrees, "I'm delighted that Summer Rayne is able to make the trip to Hong Kong and contribute to our Fair Trade Fair. Not only will she be an asset to the fashion show, but she will be speaking at our press conference, blogging about her experience, and putting us in contact with a whole new network of fair trade supporters. It's a breath of fresh air to work with someone who is so versatile, has convictions and really understands the advantages of fair trade."

Understanding fair trade comes easily to Oakes. She will be representing two brands at the Fair that she models and consults for under her company, SRO, LLC. These labels include Mercado Global and a high-end luxury line, AD Schwarz, which will be due out in the U. S. in 2006. She will also be bringing information on TransFair USA, the only third-party certifier of Fair Trade products in the United States. "I met the TransFair crew just the other day," comments Oakes. "Paul Rice, CEO of TransFair said it best: 'We are breaking the cycle of generational poverty. With fair trade, we can reach our hand halfway across the world and help someone put food on their tables or stay in school.' Now that is both a powerful and sobering thought."

Current market numbers for fair trade products ring in at around $500 million annually and are quickly increasing between 40 and 700% across the world, most likely due to consumer education and interest. The Fair Trade Symposium will highlight this growing interest over three days and will feature: a press conference, an opening reception, a one-day symposium, and a fair trade fashion show, all of which Oakes will be a part of. She will also be one of many independents managing a play-by-play of the happenings for the Fair Trade Symposium and Radio Hong Kong blog. Viva Fair Trade.

File Zipping and Unzipping, without the Stress

Whirling Dervishes Software and Neobyte Solutions have released Alpha ZIP v. 1.2, an intuitive Windows file compression utility that makes it easy for beginners to zip and unzip files. Unlike complicated compression utilities that require users to choose among dozens of features that they will rarely use, Alpha ZIP presents a fresh, friendly interface that takes the frustration out of compressing and decompressing files.

(PRWEB) June 15, 2006

Whirling Dervishes Software and Neobyte Solutions have released Alpha ZIP v. 1.2, an intuitive Windows file compression utility that makes it easy for beginners to zip and unzip files. Unlike complicated compression utilities that require users to choose among dozens of features that they will rarely use, Alpha ZIP presents a fresh, friendly interface that takes the frustration out of compressing and decompressing files.

Version 1.2 includes a new setup feature that lets software developers distribute their application downloads in archives that are easier for their prospects and customers to use. When users click Alpha ZIP's setup option, they're presented with an easy-to-understand set of instructions for installing and running their new software. Version 1.2 also features a fresh approach to the processing of self-extracting files.

With Alpha ZIP, business and home users can download and send files, documents, and images quicker and more easily. The program shrinks files, and lets you send them safely across the Internet. Alpha ZIP takes the complexity out of zipping and unzipping files. Its intuitive process lets you identify what files you're processing, where they're located, and exactly what you're doing with the files.

Alpha ZIP is completely integrated with Windows, making file compression a snap. All of its archiving operations are one right-click away. Alpha ZIP's archives behave exactly like ordinary Windows folders, so there are no new procedures to learn. You can even compress a group of files and email them, in a single operation.

While most people use compression software for files that they download or email, Alpha ZIP has other time - and money-saving uses. You can easily archive old records and documents that you rarely use. Alpha ZIP will compress them to a tiny fraction of their original size, and make them available when they're needed. By shrinking files and saving disk space, you avoid the need to buy new disk drives as you accumulate more and more data on your computer.

Alpha ZIP includes all of the features that you would expect in a high-end archiving program. The built-in integrity check tells you if your files are healthy. In addition to ZIP files, the program also handles RAR, TAR, CAB, LHA, LHZ, JAR, TQZ, and all formats, old and new. Alpha ZIP is fully integrated with the most popular virus scanners.

Whether you're a software developer who wants to provide your users with a more sophisticated setup to install your application, a home user who wants an intuitive interface for doing occasional zipping and unzipping, a business person who needs a rock-solid application that will speed up the emailing of documents, or a student who needs to shrink and manage huge amounts of information, Alpha ZIP has the tools that you need.

Alpha ZIP v. 1.2 runs under Windows 98/Me/NT4/2000/XP/2003, costs $29.95(US) for a single-user license, and may be purchased securely online at http://www. alphazip. com/ (http://www. alphazip. com/). You can download a free 20-day trial version from the same web address.

INTELLIGENXIA SECURES FINANCING FROM SPRINGBOARD CAPITAL

INTELLIGENXIA SECURES FINANCING FROM SPRINGBOARD CAPITAL

Software Developer To Continue Investment In Product Enhancements, Marketing & Sales, Scalability

JACKSONVILLE, FL (PRWEB) August 30, 2003 -

– Intelligenxia, Inc., the leading developer and marketer of software for unstructured data analytics, announced today that it has secured $1.1 million in financing led by Springboard Capital I, LLC. The company will continue to invest in its “Analytic Freedom SoftwareTM,” which is one of the first products to tackle the growing field of unstructured data analytics. The software enables organizations to improve strategic decision making processes by unlocking the value contained in unstructured data such as emails, text documents, database notes, faxes, and web pages.

“This is an exciting step for Intelligenxia,” says Ren Mohan, founder, CEO and CTO. “It will help us expand our R&D efforts and allow us to target vertical markets that are in desperate need of a proven method that will analyze and extract value from massive amounts of unstructured data.”

Respected research firm Gartner, Inc. estimates that 80% of AmericaÂ’s corporate data is unstructured, and this content doubles every six months. With the extremely large amount of unstructured data in todayÂ’s corporations, manually reading, classifying, and analyzing this information is not possible. IntelligenxiaÂ’s software supercedes manual processes to create superior business intelligence in a fraction of the time. Business segments that will immediately benefit include call centers, government agencies, healthcare, finance/banking, telecom, and insurance.

According to Charles (Bucky) A. Clarkson, Chairman of Intelligenxia, “This investment will put Intelligenxia at the forefront of a dynamic business movement and it shows that Springboard Capital is fully committed to our success.” Clarkson is a past chairman of the North Florida technology incubator Enterprise North Florida Corporation and an investor in several high-tech companies on the First Coast.

Care for Newborns Leads List of Most Expensive Claims

Care for Newborns Leads List of Most Expensive Claims

Medibank Private has released the amounts of its ten most expensive hospital claims last year, with a combined cost of $2.76 million.

(PRWEB) February 26, 2010

A single health insurance (http://www. medibank. com. au/) claim of almost half a million dollars for the care of a newborn baby leads the list. At $439,626 for the surgery and the long-term hospital accommodation required, the benefit paid for the procedure is 20% above Medibank Private’s previous highest claim.

In total, five of the ten largest health care benefit payments listed in the latest report are for neonatal care, including care for three extremely premature babies born between 24 and 28 weeks. According to Medibank Private Chief Executive Officer, Bruce Levy, this is unexpected but highlights the unpredictable nature of health.

“We all know health funds (http://www. medibank. com. au/Health-Covers/Get-a-quote-or-join-now/Switch-from-another-fund. aspx) are expensive and, while this lists our greatest claims, it is indicative of the growing cost and just how expensive it can be.

“The individuals appearing on the list, or the parents in the case of the infants, probably never thought they would require hospital services to the extent these claims indicate. Fortunately Medibank is here to help them cover these alarming costs.

“While the top ten claims represent only a tiny proportion of the over $2 billion in benefit payments we pay each year, the number of high cost claims valued over $10,000 are growing rapidly.

“In 2009 we paid 44,164 claims over $10,000, an increase in 23 percent from 2008, a dramatic increase that is emblematic of growing costs in all areas of the Australian health system.

"These figures also illustrate the limits to self-insurance. With costs of $10,000 and above increasingly common, and health costs growing as fast as they are, people relying on self insurance are risking their financial and their physical health,” he said.

In financial year 2008-09 Medibank Private paid a total of $2.36 billion in hospital and medical benefits, an increase of 10% from the previous year. Medibank Private members were admitted 862,748 hospital admissions in the period.

LegalView Offers Free and Comprehensive Traumatic Brain Injury Information to Returning Troops

LegalView Offers Free and Comprehensive Traumatic Brain Injury Information to Returning Troops

With a Marine on trial at Camp Pendleton for actions possibly attributed in part to head injuries, and the Army launching a traumatic brain injury education campaign for troops, TBI is an important and evolving issue for our democracy. LegalView would like to remind service members, their loved ones and other citizens that it offers an extensive collection of easy-to-understand scientific and legal information about brain injuries.

Camp Pendleton, California (PRWEB) August 10, 2007

With the U. S. Army's announcement on July 17th of an aggressive campaign to teach its million-plus soldiers about traumatic brain injuries (TBI), LegalView. com would like to remind all Americans that it offers one of the Internet's most complete collections of information on TBI. The Army's campaign, which will also teach soldiers about post-traumatic stress disorder, focuses on the two conditions because research shows they are becoming overwhelmingly common among service members who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Walter Reed Army Medical Center reported that it treated a third of its active-duty patients for such an injury between 2003 and 2005. Recognizing that this public health issue could affect an entire generation of young soldiers, LegalView. com is proud to offer factual, easy-to-understand and free information to military families -- and the other 1.4 million Americans affected by TBI each year -- at its Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer (http://brain-injury. legalview. com/) Information Portal.

The Army's announcement came at roughly the same time experts in a U. S. Army Court Martial Trial gave testimony about the effects a brain injury may have had on Marine Cpl. Trent Thomas, who was on trial for helping to kidnap and execute an Iraqi man. A medical expert for the defense testified that Thomas survived more than 25 bomb blasts -- four of which knocked him unconscious -- which may have led to a brain injury that could have increased his aggression and limited his ability to disobey illegal orders. Despite this testimony, Cpl. Thomas was convicted on July 18, 2007 on charges of conspiracy and kidnapping. Thomas received no additional jail time, with a dishonorable discharge, according to the Marine Corps Times.

LegalView. com's traumatic brain injury attorney (http://brain-injury. legalview. com/) portal offers information on the tragic cumulative effects of the multiple brain injuries Thomas sustained, as well as articles on TBI and the military, self-advocacy for victims, families affected by TBI, treatment options and more. The portal also offers a TBI blog; information on jury verdicts in TBI lawsuits; news feeds; a glossary of TBI terms; informational videos; and pointers to books and web sites with more information.

LegalView's traumatic brain injury portal is part of an entire suite of informational portals on important contemporary legal topics. Those who have been in an auto accident -- another leading cause of TBI - can visit the comprehensive collection of car crash lawyer (http://crash. legalview. com/) information. Those seeking more information on a birth injury attorney (http://birth-injury. legalview. com/) can find it in abundance at birth-injury. legalview. com. And patients who have taken the diabetes drug Avandia can visit avandia. legalview. com for a wealth of information on an Avandia attorney (http://avandia. legalview. com/). For readers who are ready to look for a lawyer to help address these or other subjects, LegalView offers a nationwide, confidential and completely free attorney referral service.
