Healthcare Flash Website Design Reputation Honored by Summit Creative Awards

With Flash the new interactive Web technology, a reputation for design, development and professional execution is important.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 24, 2006

Inside a nondescript building in the south Loop, a Webability company is building something: a Flash website design reputation.

Flash websites pepper the Internet, providing richer user experiences through the use of video and other interactive elements. With Flash the new interactive Web technology and many claiming to be the “best,” a reputation for design, development and professional execution is important. Azavar™ Technologies (http://www. azavar. com/solutions/flash_website_design. aspx (http://www. azavar. com/solutions/flash_website_design. aspx)) is being recognized for its Flash website design reputation.

Azavar received a silver award from the Summit Creative Awards for best B2B service website for its Flash website design. Summit Creative Award submissions are evaluated based on the strength of their big idea, the quality of execution and their ability to communicate and persuade. For those exact reasons, the silver award went to the Flash website Azavar designed for healthcare consulting firm Health Directions.

“It is a testament to our ability to design and develop Flash websites for companies in healthcare, publishing, finance or other industries. We go a step further, however, by making our Flash websites search engine friendly. In this day and age, an interactive website is no good if people can’t find it,” President Jason Perry said.

This is the second award for the Flash-based Health Directions website. It also earned a Standard of Excellence Award in 2005 from the Web Marketing Association.

Azavar continues to push the boundaries of Flash website design and Flash application development. They have recently launched a Flash website for IPP Litho/Randolph Street Press, a full-service print company located in Chicago. The website has a Customer Area that simplifies the submission and proofing process.

An Overlooked Plan for Bush, Kerry, Democrats, Republicans, and Healthcare Costs

An Overlooked Plan for Bush, Kerry, Democrats, Republicans, and Healthcare Costs

Healthcare costs can be reduced by some simple methods. This month is "Talk About Prescriptions" resources are given.

(PRWEB) October 4, 2004 -

In an effort to assist our political leadership it would be wise to have a simple solution to a life threatening problem. The much talked about Medicare Medication benefits are going to waste if the medications are not taken properly. Since this month of October is “Talk About Prescriptions” we should recognize some basic facts. There are multiple steps available that will benefit all consumers of healthcare. (Aside from obvious unmet steps for physical activity such as of walking).

After doing some research the industry acknowledges,(in the Merck manual) that a significant percentage of admissions to healthcare facilities (Hospital and Nursing Homes) are due to the fact that seniors are not taking their medications properly. Perhaps there is easy solution for long distance family members. If one has the time to give a friendly reminder call and await their completion of their medications, checking of blood sugar, blood pressure, or other health regimen would be extremely helpful. The industry estimates from the heart disease management alone ‘medication compliance’ could save an estimated $100 billion each year if the medications were taken properly.

More info is on this month is at http://ncpie. latticegroup. com/index. jsp (http://ncpie. latticegroup. com/index. jsp). A sponsor behind this site National Council on Patient Information and Education (NCPIE), is one of the original patient safety coalitions.

More info about this month is at http://ncpie. latticegroup. com/index. jsp (http://ncpie. latticegroup. com/index. jsp). A sponsor behind this site National Council on Patient Information and Education (NCPIE), is one of the original patient safety coalitions.

There are numerous types of systems that utilize various compliance techniques with elders. The range involves passive systems and active systems or combination of the two types. The price ranges depending on how extensive or intrusive of a system one desires. There are medication charts, pill boxes, timers, alarm watches, pagers, telephone calls, personal visits, 24 hour surveillance systems that you can use to keep a constant eye on your loved one.

There also needs to be a complimentary understanding of alternative medicine and mainstream medicine. For this to be accomplished a dialogue must include all supplementation to normal food ingestion including herbs, vitamins, minerals, and other supplements suggested by anyone including prescription drugs. There is a chart available at http://ncpie. latticegroup. com/index. jsp (http://ncpie. latticegroup. com/index. jsp).

Kibble Crack - Vet Exposes Sugary Secret of Pet Treats

Kibble Crack - Vet Exposes Sugary Secret of Pet Treats

Sugar is being added to many pet treats contributing to the growing pet obesity epidemic.

Calabash, NC (PRWEB) June 17, 2010

Today's pet treats aren't the dog bones of your childhood. Over the past decade, a surprising ingredient has begun to appear on pet treat ingredient lists: sugar.

Following the trend of sugar-laden children's snacks, pet treat manufacturers are tapping into a dog's sweet tooth to boost sales. "One of the key reasons I became involved with fighting pet obesity was when I began seeing sugar added to pet treats. I think if more pet owners were aware of this, they may choose their treats more carefully." says veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward, founder of the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP) and author of "Chow Hounds: Why Our Dogs Are Getting Fatter - A Vet's Plan to Save Their Lives" (2010 HCI). "When you have popular treats such as Snausages SnawSomes that list sugars as three of the first four ingredients, you know there's a problem."

And the problem is huge. APOP estimates that 45% of US dogs and 58% of cats are too heavy. That equals an estimated 89 million pets that are at high risk for developing conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure and more.

Ward says the problem is linked to money - lots of it. With US pet treat sales estimated to be nearly $2 billion in 2010, the treat bowl has turned golden. "Sugar is incredibly attractive to dogs. If a dog gobbles a treat quickly, an owner is more likely to give another - and another. This adds up to more sales - and profits. In the race for pet treat profits, our pets' health is being bankrupted."

Ward also contends that added sugar has behavioral consequences. "Numerous studies in rats demonstrate that overfeeding sugar can create symptoms similar to drug addiction. A dog's daily sweet treat may be contributing to overeating and other undesirable behaviors. This is why I call today's high-sugar treats 'kibble crack.'"

Of course, pet treat manufacturers are quick to blame pet owners for the problem. After all, dogs and cats don't buy or give these products themselves. Ward agrees - to a point. "Pet owners definitely have a feeding disorder when it comes to their pets. Ultimately it's up to each owner to control how much they feed their pets. What I want to bring attention to is what ingredients are in pet treats - and why. Pet owners must begin to question why there is sugar in a treat that claims to help teeth."

Ultimately both the pet food industry and Ward have pet's best interest at heart. "Today we have some of the best pet foods and treats we've ever had. For that, I am grateful. At the same time, we're seeing some of the unhealthiest products masquerading as wholesome and nutritious. It's time we reveal the sugary secret that is contributing to obesity in pets."

Dr. Ward's Dirty Dozen - Popular Sugary Pet Treats
Canine CarryOuts Chew-lotta - Dextrose first ingredient Snausages SnawSomes! Beef and Chicken Flavor - Sugars 3 of first 4 ingredients Pedigree Jumbone Mini Snack Food for Small Dogs - Sugars 2 of 3 first ingredient Petrodex Dental Treats for Cats - Dextrose second ingredient Pedigree Jumbone - Sugar third ingredient Milk Bone Essentials Plus Oral Care - Sugar third ingredient Pup-Peroni Lean Beef Recipe - Sugar third ingredient Science Diet Simple Essentials Treats Training Adult Treats with Real Beef - Sugar third ingredient Cesar Softies Dog Treats - Sugar third ingredient Milk-Bone Chewy Chicken Drumsticks - Sugar third ingredient Meow Mix Moist Cat Treats - Corn syrup fourth ingredient Pedigree Marrobone - Sugar third ingredient

Synergy Broadcast Systems Introduces Voyager a New, Low-Cost, All-in-One Broadcast Solution

Synergy Broadcast Systems Introduces Voyager a New, Low-Cost, All-in-One Broadcast Solution

Voyager provides Public, Education, Government, Business and Independent Broadcasters with an All-In-One Broadcast Solution in a Box that includes both expandability and a future migration path.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 24, 2008

Synergy Broadcast Systems (www. synergybroadcast. com)] is pleased to announce the introduction of Voyager, a new Broadcast-in-a-Box Digital Solution (http://www. synergybroadcast. com/?page_id=2055) for Cable Access and Independent Broadcasters. Voyager is not a video appliance but a fully expandable digital server solution complete with automation software.

"The concept behind Voyager is to provide cable broadcasters, on a tight budget, with a fully expandable server solution that can grow over time as their needs change", according to Chuck Jones, Executive Vice President. "Many of these broadcasters have to settle for video appliances that cannot be expanded or modified if their needs change so investments in these products have no future migration. Voyager provides great functionality and future migration and expandability options for their ever-changing needs."

Peter Kiddy, Synergy Broadcast Systems President points out that, "Voyager fits with our turnkey oriented approach but, in this situation, everything needed is in one box. And, with current economic conditions reducing many capital budgets many stations will be limited in terms of what they can purchase but their broadcast requirements don't change. Voyager provides these stations with the ability to purchase a fully-functional system with their current budget limitations and expand as the station's needs change and the economy improves as we move forward."

Voyager's base configuration includes a single NTSC video output with balanced or unbalanced stereo audio, mirrored 500G hard drives and Synergy Broadcast's fully functional VLM broadcast automation software (http://www. synergybroadcast. com/?page_id=1384). Options include a second channel, SDI, an analog or SDI encoder and up to 4 TB of internal storage. Additionally, Voyager is equipped with On Screen Graphics capability to display full screen graphics, messages, crawls, scrolls and logo insertion as well as being closed caption capable to provide everything the broadcaster needs for their on-air activity. Voyager will begin shipping in mid-November.

For additional information about Voyager and how broadcast facilities on a tight budget can benefit from this All-in-One, Broadcast-in-a-Box solution please contact Synergy Broadcast Systems at 800-601-6991.
