New Yoga Book Reveals Simple Techniques that Anyone Can Do at Home to De-Stress During the Holidays

February 7, 2012 By Leave a Comment


Silver Spring, MD (PRWEB) December 16, 2011

Author and self-taught yogi Laura Venecia Rodriguez (http://www.DoYogaAtHomeNow.com and http://www.laurasathomeyoga.com), who has been practicing gentle yoga for over 40 years, says, “during the holidays stress expands exponentially because of the lack of time and money to get ‘it’ all done and the pressures to produce perfect, idyllic experiences with family and friends. The extra shopping, cooking, cleaning, and entertaining that the holidays require can trigger anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and lethargy.”

Half-instructional, half-motivational, “Yoga at Home” includes easy yoga breathing techniques such as the alternate nostril breath and dreamlike, slow-motion poses like neck rolls and the backward bend that take only a few minutes and easily induce relaxation and calm. The book gives the reader step-by-step instructions for 20+ yoga poses, tips on how to keep yoga fun and avoid injuries, as well as creative techniques to gain maximum benefits from a yoga practice.

Although yoga books abound, “Yoga at Home” is likely the only one written by a ?real, regular person? who considers herself the consummate klutz. Written in a simple, easy-to-follow format, and laid-back style, “Yoga at Home” makes yoga accessible to the timid beginner or person who may have thought that yoga was beyond his or her reach.

?Yoga is NOT just for the elite corps of supermodels, celebrities, athletes, or super-flexible instructors, whom many of us could never match in ability,? asserts Ms. Rodriguez. Real, regular people can learn and benefit from simple, gentle yoga. “Yoga at Home” proves it?s not necessary to do the complex, pretzel-like poses shown in magazines, or the super-intense forms of yoga often taught in yoga studios, to gain tremendous benefits from this 4,000-5,000 year-old practice.

“Find This Card – Get Free Art” – A New Company and Website Built By Artists Determined to Bring Art to the Masses

February 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) December 16, 2011

Artists know it is difficult it is to introduce their work to the world. Most artists want to get discovered, but few get the opportunities to show their work to the right people. Some artists just want to bestow their work on the world – just for the sake of sharing.

A small group of artists in several states banded together to develop a new website and distribution program – a “finders keepers” game involving a postcard. It is self-funded by the artists.

“Artists pay a commission to galleries, pay fees to participate in art festivals, pay rent for studio space…” explains Ester Rosepink, “why not pay just a little in postage to let the world experience your work?”

One side says it all: ?Find This Card – Get Free Art.? The artists provide a drawing, a painting, a limited edition print, a photograph. Every piece of art is ready to frame, hang or use. The art will arrive by mail within a few weeks of finding the card.

Each “Find This Card – Get Free Art” postcard has a unique code. The “finder” submits their address, the unique code and the location they found the card. The “finder” simply puts the “Find This Card – Get Free Art” postcard in another place to be found.

Postcards have already been in circulation – and found in restaurants, salons, art supply stores, and other locations in Arizona, California, Illinois, New York, Oregon & Virginia. The bulk are being launched now; distributed and shared throughout the country.

“I’m soooooooo excited,” states Alison Luke from Maine, NY who found her card in her mailbox and left it in a restaurant in Binghamton, NY “I love it – I can’t wait to hang it on my wall!”

Locations where the cards are found and redeemed, rules and the current artist in circulation are posted online at http://findthiscardgetfreeart.com.

This month’s artist is Sandhi Schimmel Gold [http://www.schimmelart.com whose original work – Junk Mail Mosaics – are in private, corporate and museum collections in the U.S. and Europe.

Instructions on how to get your own “Find This Card – Get Free Art” cards are located on the web site.

Artists who would like information on how to participate by providing art should email info(at)findthiscardgetfreeart(dot)com

In the Worst Financial Crisis of Our Generation, a Team Comes with Answers

February 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) December 16, 2011

BZK Press has secured the exclusive worldwide licensing rights to publish the popular Rich Dad Advisor series of books. This series is the practical ?hands-on? extension of the international blockbuster Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, the #1 personal finance book of all time and a series that has sold over 30 million copies worldwide.

The Rich Dad Advisor series books has worldwide sales topping the 2 million mark. At this critical economic time, the 2012 plan is to release new titles and re-releases of its successful books to support all those in need of financial and investment direction. The titles will be released through BZK Press.

BZK Press, founded and directed by three of Robert Kiyosaki?s long-time Advisors, has announced an aggressive schedule of ten updated re-releases and eight new releases for 2012.

In an economy of global financial turmoil, conflicting messages, massive unemployment and more people than ever seeking to start businesses and invest, the Advisor series has provided sound strategies and advice for nearly a decade.

The strong series of Advisor bestsellers, like The ABCs of Real Estate Investing, SalesDogs and Start Your Own Corporation, will be complemented by a group of new titles by new Rich Dad Advisor authors with expertise in tax strategy, wealth building, paper assets, social entrepreneurship and creative financing. The Rich Dad Advisor Series is the most comprehensive ?how-to? series of books on business and investing. Entrepreneurs, investors and those seeking financial freedom can rely on the solid and proven processes for success ? in any economy.

The goal of the series, according to BZK owners Ken McElroy, Garrett Sutton and Blair Singer, is to further the reach of solid and proven ?how to? strategies that reflect the Rich Dad philosophies of improving the financial well being of the humanity humanity. A need, they see, that is as important in good economic times or tough ones.

On a related note, BZK Press signed Perseus Distribution as its worldwide distributor ensuring penetration into thousands of markets around the world. McElroy, a BZK partner and real estate investment expert said, ??What is unique about our approach to distribution is that we have organized a substantial self-funding marketing coop among all the Advisors that will ensure the support and promotion of the brand in markets around the world.?

Garrett Sutton, Esq., BZK Partner and Rich Dad Advisor on legal and corporate start-ups, added, ?All books will be available as eBooks. We are committed to a Series that is available to readers in many formats.?

BZK Partner and Advisor on sales, team and personal development Blair Singer added, ?The number of lives these books have changed is phenomenal. We are currently securing numerous contracts with international publishers to make sure that people in all countries and languages can benefit from this education.?

Kiyosaki has shared his views on the importance of advisors and coaches for years: ?Business and investing are team sports.? He?s challenged readers and audiences around the world, asking ?Who is on your team?? As many of the Rich Dad Advisors ? including Blair Singer, Garrett Sutton, Ken McElroy and Tom Wheelwright ? have joined him on stage, in radio and TV segments and in the Rich Dad books, he has consistently stressed the importance of a team of strong advisors saying ?These are my Advisors and I invite you to get educated from those who advise me.?

About Rich Dad Advisors and BZK Press

The messages of Robert Kiyosaki?s Rich Dad Poor Dad have resonated with audiences around the world since its release in 1997. He has challenged and changed the way tens of millions think about money, business and investing. Kiyosaki faced harsh criticisms a decade ago when he said ?Your house is not an asset.? Now the world (still reeling from massive foreclosures, record unemployment and global economic chaos) is learning first-hand how prophetic his words and views were. Kiyosaki saw the need for practical application of his Rich Dad philosophies and messages and, as a result Robert took his own financial advisors in the area of business, investing, property and finance and tasked them with the creation of ?how-to? books that would give readers practical, step-by-step processes for creating wealth for themselves. The initial series has sold over 2 million books worldwide over the past ten years. Each of the Advisor-Authors are celebrated experts in their fields and, in addition to their businesses, speak and teach extensively around the world. In 2012, BZK Press is scheduled to release an aggressive package of existing, revised and new titles, all at a time when the need for solid financial advice is both massive and global.

International rights for the Rich Dad Advisor titles are being licensed by BZK Press. Contact Garrett Sutton (g.sutton@bzkpress or ++775-782-2201) to submit offers.

Science Sheds New Light on How to Keep New Year?s Health Resolutions

January 31, 2012 By Leave a Comment


Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) December 14, 2011

Yes, it is that time of year again. Americans close out the year vowing that the upcoming fresh start on the calendar will rinse away the health sins and transgressions of the previous 364 days. It is an admirable moment, suspended in a cloud of holiday cheer and optimism. Unfortunately for most Americans, according to recent University of Illinois research, the optimism and commitment to exercise wanes quickly due to a cognitive disconnect called ?self-efficacy?. TrekDesk treadmill desks offer a potential cure to the condition.

“Almost 50 percent of people who begin an exercise program drop out in the first six months,” stated Edward McAuley, a health professor and researcher at the University of Illinois. In their study, published recently in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, McAuley and colleagues performed a variety of cognitive tests on 177 men and women in their 60?s to early 70?s measuring levels of ?self-regulatory? behavior. The cognitive tests were “measures such as spatial memory, being able to multitask and being able to inhibit undesirable responses,” he stated. Collectively, these tests assess what is known as “executive function.”

Two skills, the ability to multi-task and inhibiting undesirable responses, were important contributors to an individuals ?self-efficacy?, a confidence needed to succeed. “We can potentially use this information to identify who might be poor adherers to an exercise program,” McAuley further related. “And then offer those people an array of different coping skills and strategies to inhibit or overcome bad behaviors.”

McCauley further pointed out that as executive function declines with age strategies to assist in the management of exercise obstacles would go a long way toward inducing previously sedentary individuals to maintain an exercise program.

This is where TrekDesk Treadmill Desks offer a distinct advantage. Walking while working does not take any additional time out of the day and allows an individual to stick to an exercise regimen while completing other normally desk bound, sedentary tasks.

?A very small percentage of Americans, at any age, perform enough daily exercise to promote health and prevent disease,? stated Steve Bordley, CEO of TrekDesk Treadmill Desks. ?The top two reasons Americans do not exercise enough, according to the National Institutes of Health, are lack of time and lack of motivation. TrekDesk removes these two obstacles from the equation.?

Designed to fit any existing treadmill, TrekDesk treadmill desk is an affordable, full sized, height adjustable workstation that allows individuals the opportunity to gain the necessary amount of exercise daily to maintain health, prevent disease, strengthen muscles, boost mood and productivity, without requiring additional time during the day or extra motivation. Workout at work with TrekDesk. No sweat!

TrekDesk is currently available for sale online at TrekDesk.com for $ 479.00 including free shipping.

CPAs And Other Professionals Learn About UBIT and More in Non-Traditional Investments From New Direction IRA, Inc.

January 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) December 10, 2011

New Direction IRA, a leading provider of self-directed IRAs, 401ks, and Health Savings Accounts, has also been a valuable source of education both to the general retirement investing public, and to tax and financial professionals. New Direction IRA announces two four hour CPA courses sponsored by the University of Denver Law School. Initially available December 14, 2011, and repeating periodically, these two courses provide the basics and specific details of the operation of self-directed plans which allow investment of retirement and tax sheltered funds beyond the traditional securities based options.

The first four Hour course, offered since 2005 at University of Denver?s Graduate Tax Program, explores the rules regarding investment options in IRAs, 401ks and HSAs. Self directed plans allow investors to reinvent their plans and retirement futures with investments beyond the stock market such as real estate, mortgages, private placements, and precious metals. Included will be a discussion of the impact of unrelated business tax and income from debt financed investments in an IRA. The coverage of UBIT will be particularly helpful for many CPAs and other tax professionals who will be able to help clients as they try to rejuvenate plan balances and explore the use of debt leverage within their plan.

The second four hour course explores advanced topics such as planning for investment structures, tax planning for UBIT, prohibited transactions and review of aggressively marketed schemes for IRA investments. The second course is applicable for CPAs, attorneys, and investors looking to more fully understand all the available self-directed investment opportunities. The second course also educates professionals and beginners alike on how to safely and effectively research the plethora of self directed investment information available on the internet.

New Direction IRA, a leading provider of self-directed IRAs, 401k?s, ESAs and HSAs since 2003, specializes in education of investors and their advisors as well as providing recordkeeping and administrative services for plans. Many 401k plan providers are also benefitting from New Direction IRA?s array of services. Any plan administrators who wish to expand available investment options for their participants can call on New Direction to provide recordkeeping and reporting assistance.

Burning Man Festival Embraces EMS Manager For Scheduling Medical Personnel

January 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment


Hudson, Wisconsin (PRWEB) December 08, 2011

Pat Songer, EMS Director for the Humboldt General Hospital EMS Rescue Department, chose Aladtec?s employee scheduling system, EMS Manager, to help coordinate volunteer medical staff for the Burning Man festival. Having used EMS Manager for nearly 5 years at HGH EMS Rescue to handle shift scheduling and time management for his own staff, Songer felt that the easy-to-use EMS Manager was a natural fit for the event. The one week art experience was held in Black Rock Desert, 120 miles north of Reno, Nevada from August 29th through September 5th where nearly 50,000 participants gather to celebrate community, art, self-expression and self-reliance.

?It worked out really well for us,? said Songer. ?We used it like we use EMS Manager for our regular scheduling program with a couple minor tweaks. We employed about 300 volunteer doctors, nurses, paramedics, EMTs and other medical professionals for the event. After we approved them, we emailed them their EMS Manager login info so they could begin submitting availability while administrators went in and approved shift times, usually within 24 hours. It was an advantageous tool to see where we needed to put people in and where we needed to make coverage requests. With EMS Manager being online, casual call volunteers could see what times were available.

Not only did HGH EMS Rescue provide advanced life-support ambulance service within the created Black Rock City, a 2,000 square foot medical clinic was open 24/7 during the entirety of the event and handled all ground transports to Reno hospitals. The mobile unit included 32 beds and laboratory facilities. Six advanced life-support ambulances were on-call around the clock. Songer said they prepared for all kinds of incidents that could take place in a city that size. They were extra prepared for heat-related incidents as temperatures over 100 degrees is common in a desert-scape like that in the temporary city. In total, over 2300 patients were seen and 33 transports were taken off the playa.

While EMS Manager is a familiar tool for EMTs and Paramedics, it was a new experience for some of the doctors and nurses that were also scheduled using EMS Manager. ?Everyone picked up very quickly how to submit availability and sign up for shifts. They were very happy to go online and see the schedule from anywhere and at anytime,? said Pat Songer. ?For a week and half of scheduling, it was excellent and we plan on using it again in the future.?

Aladtec, Inc. is a provider of web-based software solutions for employee scheduling and workforce management applications. The company?s flagship products, EMS Manager and FIRE Manager, are leaders in the public safety sector and together serve more than 700 EMS and fire departments, and more than 45,000 employees.

Accellos Releases Case Study of ITS Solutions

January 23, 2012 By Leave a Comment


Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) December 07, 2011

Accellos, a leading provider of supply chain execution software solutions, has released a case study of its customer ITS Solutions. The case study illustrates how the Nevada-based third party logistics provider specializing in the outdoor sports market has experienced major growth and success using Accellos? 3PL system, Accellos One 3PL, as its software platform.

Following is a summary of the case study. The full study can be read at http://blog.accellos.com/3pl/itssolutions.

Company

A division of ITS Holding Company based in Reno, Nevada, ITS Solutions addressed the broad supply chain market during most of its first decade. Seeking a way to differentiate itself from an abundance of competitors, it has become a specialist in the outdoor sports industry.

Situation

As the company dealt with specialization, growth and the complex array of technology employed by its clients and their customers, the capabilities of the company?s previous 3PL software were challenged. Long in place, the software was falling behind technologically. Additionally, it was being phased out following an acquisition and a successor was far from ready.

Solution

After exploring top-tier 3PL systems, ITS selected Accellos One 3PL as the solution that would best serve the company?s goals. The solution also includes d’Amigo, an alerts and reporting tool; Visualize, which provides three-dimensional warehouse views to the bin level; eVista, an Internet-based customer self-service portal and Pulse, a key performance indicator generator.
